Let's Talk Roundabouts... · Podcast - Big 98.7

0:01
Speaker 1: Now here's what you need to know.
0:04
Speaker 2: Oh, we are all ready for some summertime. And last
0:07
Speaker 2: night the Fargo Park Board did meet to talk about
0:09
Speaker 2: the upcoming pool season. Originally, they had increased family season
0:12
Speaker 2: passes to all five pools from one hundred and ninety
0:15
Speaker 2: three dollars to five hundred dollars, which was, of course
0:17
Speaker 2: a huge sticker shock for so many people. The price
0:20
Speaker 2: will now be three hundred and fifty dollars. A U
0:23
Speaker 2: season pass will be one hundred and fifty dollars, down
0:26
Speaker 2: from two hundred and ten. The Fargo Park District the
0:29
Speaker 2: executive director did admit to being too aggressive and raising fees,
0:32
Speaker 2: saying that they hadn't been increased in years, so they
0:35
Speaker 2: needed to do something. But of course it was great
0:36
Speaker 2: that they were able to compromise.
0:38
Speaker 1: I give them credit.
0:39
Speaker 3: They heard the concerns and did something about it, so
0:41
Speaker 3: I could definitely give them a thumbs up.
0:42
Speaker 1: That's how it should work, right. Absolutely.
0:45
Speaker 2: It was close, but the US House of Representatives narrowly
0:48
Speaker 2: approved a stop gap funding build to avert a potential
0:50
Speaker 2: government shutdown with the vote of two hundred and seventeen
0:53
Speaker 2: to two hundred and thirteen. The US Department of Education
0:55
Speaker 2: is preparing to lay off more than thirteen hundred workers
0:58
Speaker 2: as a part of a broader federal job.
1:00
Speaker 1: Under Trump's administration.
1:04
Speaker 2: And Canada has withdrawn a planned twenty five percent surcharge
1:07
Speaker 2: and electricity exports to the US after Trump threatened to
1:11
Speaker 2: double tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum, they went ahead
1:14
Speaker 2: with the plan to put the energy surcharge into place.
1:17
Speaker 2: They'll be planning a meeting again for some time today
1:20
Speaker 2: to discuss renewing the US Mexico Canada Free Trade Act
1:23
Speaker 2: before Trump's April second deadline. The President was asked yesterday
1:26
Speaker 2: if he would now be lowering tariffs on Canada, to
1:29
Speaker 2: which he replied probably. So. It is a little stressful
1:33
Speaker 2: for me trying to keep up with all of this,
1:35
Speaker 2: because there's just new information and is changing all the time,
1:38
Speaker 2: and the deadlines keep kind of getting extended.
1:40
Speaker 1: But I think that's what's supposed to be happening.
1:42
Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel like these and I have once again,
1:44
Speaker 3: I don't know enough, but I feel like they start
1:47
Speaker 3: out super aggressive and then slowly kind of worked down
1:50
Speaker 3: to some type of compromise at some point. Is that
1:52
Speaker 3: what it's felt like so far? Yes, Okay, well there
1:55
Speaker 3: we got we will we will see. I pay attention
1:58
Speaker 3: more than I thought. I guess whether gonna be great today?
2:01
Speaker 2: Sunshine high a fifty, bumping up to about sixty five tomorrow,
2:04
Speaker 2: same with Friday.
2:05
Speaker 1: Then we kind of take a turn.
2:06
Speaker 2: It looks like Friday is sunny and sixty five for
2:09
Speaker 2: a little bit, and then it starts raining. We dip
2:12
Speaker 2: down to twenty seven on Saturday. Still kind of like
2:15
Speaker 2: this rain snow mixed. Nobody really knows what to expect.
2:18
Speaker 2: I have seen up to five inches of snow possible
2:21
Speaker 2: on Saturday. Either way. It's so nice. We don't have
2:24
Speaker 2: any snow left. It'll melt right away.
2:26
Speaker 1: Who cares. That's such a positive attitude.
2:28
Speaker 3: But to just see snow again, especially an amount you
2:31
Speaker 3: know now, more than like a quarter inch, that would
2:34
Speaker 3: really be just a shot to the gut.
2:36
Speaker 1: It has been so nice, I know, but it's mid March.
2:39
Speaker 2: If this is our like last Turrah or the big dump, okay.
2:44
Speaker 1: Pork like the last. If we have to put up
2:48
Speaker 1: with this snow, no dump, I'll be a fine with that.
2:53
Speaker 1: If this is it, we're good.
2:57
Speaker 3: As a parent, I would guess you sacrifice and sacrifice
3:01
Speaker 3: and sacrifice so much for your children, but you never
3:04
Speaker 3: know when.
3:04
Speaker 1: They're gonna turn you into the police. You never know.
3:08
Speaker 1: You never know.
3:09
Speaker 3: There's a four year old, a sweet four year old
3:12
Speaker 3: boy from Wisconsin who tried to turn her mother into
3:16
Speaker 3: the old police.
3:17
Speaker 1: What did she do? Bad? Mom?
3:19
Speaker 3: This is a fabulous, fabulous piece of audio here, and
3:23
Speaker 3: this is a great time to teach your kids about
3:25
Speaker 3: nine one one. It's great to make sure they know
3:27
Speaker 3: how to use it. It's probably smart to also let
3:30
Speaker 3: them know what to use it for. Take a listen
3:32
Speaker 3: to this four year old and talking to the police
3:35
Speaker 3: in dispatch.
3:36
Speaker 2: Hello, this is routine tony nine one one.
3:39
Speaker 1: My mom didn't know you know, your mom?
3:43
Speaker 3: Hi?
3:43
Speaker 2: What's going on over there?
3:45
Speaker 1: This little one got the phone and he's four. Okay,
3:50
Speaker 1: we're trying to kick him because you couldn't gonna call
3:53
Speaker 1: him nine one one.
3:54
Speaker 2: Age is ice cream, so that's probably why he's calling
3:57
Speaker 2: nine one one. Thank here, I'm so far and all
4:01
Speaker 2: that's okay?
4:04
Speaker 1: Hi, Oh, it's the police.
4:06
Speaker 2: They came.
4:07
Speaker 1: Did you go to police?
4:09
Speaker 3: Yeah? Why is it because you didn't get ice cream yet?
4:15
Speaker 3: This kid calls the police because his mom jokingly ate
4:19
Speaker 3: his ice cream cone or whatever, but they have to
4:24
Speaker 3: follow up.
4:24
Speaker 2: I think I have certain reguards because honestly, when I
4:27
Speaker 2: heard that in case, there was something.
4:29
Speaker 1: Like, oh yeah, just about ice.
4:31
Speaker 2: Cream, but you never know what's going on. Yeah, the origin,
4:34
Speaker 2: you've heard all of the stories. I'm sure, Uh, that
4:38
Speaker 2: would be definitely something my kids would do to me.
4:41
Speaker 2: It just showed up on my memories. A few days ago,
4:44
Speaker 2: a couple of years ago, I was home with my
4:46
Speaker 2: kids and they were upset because I told him it
4:48
Speaker 2: was time to go for a nap. And my son
4:51
Speaker 2: absolutely loves police officers, and so he is always like
4:55
Speaker 2: trying to arrest people.
4:57
Speaker 1: We play cops and robbers all the time.
4:58
Speaker 2: And he's like, you are so mean, I'm calling the
5:01
Speaker 2: police on you. He thankfully was young enough to not
5:05
Speaker 2: pick up my phone and do it. Sure, thankfully we
5:08
Speaker 2: don't have landline, so you can keep your cell phone
5:10
Speaker 2: in your pocket for the most part.
5:12
Speaker 1: Tuesday is right.
5:13
Speaker 2: But I could totally see my kids doing something like this. I,
5:17
Speaker 2: when I was younger, once called the police. Yeah.
5:19
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll never forget it. I was in my kitchen
5:22
Speaker 3: and I when you're a kid, you always hear about like, oh,
5:24
Speaker 3: call nine one one. If you need help, you know
5:26
Speaker 3: the number, YadA, YadA, YadA. And I was just young
5:29
Speaker 3: enough to where I was like, is this real? Like
5:31
Speaker 3: what actually happens if you do this? So I called
5:33
Speaker 3: nine one one. I think I was probably four. I
5:35
Speaker 3: was probably the same five years old. I was a
5:37
Speaker 3: really young kid, and then I called nine one one.
5:40
Speaker 3: A nice lady answered through dispatch, and I immediately just
5:43
Speaker 3: hung up the phone, like, oh my god, it right.
5:46
Speaker 1: You're like, oh, it's real.
5:47
Speaker 3: They answered yeah, and they immediately call right back, and
5:52
Speaker 3: my mom answered the phone. It was very similar to this,
5:55
Speaker 3: and they were like, yeah, does someone need nine to
5:57
Speaker 3: one one?
5:58
Speaker 1: And she was like no.
6:00
Speaker 3: And then of course I'm in the kitchen, guilty as
6:02
Speaker 3: all get out and she's like, Gabe, did you call
6:05
Speaker 3: nine one one? And I wasn't in trouble or whatever,
6:08
Speaker 3: but I was mortified. And I talked to it and
6:10
Speaker 3: she was like, well, here, talk to my son, and
6:12
Speaker 3: she put me back on with dispatch and I'm like, yeah,
6:15
Speaker 3: I called nine one one.
6:16
Speaker 1: I just wanted to see if it would work.
6:18
Speaker 3: And the lady was really nice and she basically was like, well, yes,
6:21
Speaker 3: it's good that you know how to do it. We're
6:22
Speaker 3: glad that you know the number, YadA, YadA, YadA, But
6:26
Speaker 3: this is for emergencies only kind of thing.
6:28
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I would be anxious to see how many
6:31
Speaker 2: people call a day or kids or whatever all the
6:35
Speaker 2: time till I could check it out, because yes, you
6:38
Speaker 2: are only supposed to use that for emergencies. But again,
6:42
Speaker 2: that's also a huge lesson for you. This kid going,
6:44
Speaker 2: oh boy, this is this is legit.
6:47
Speaker 3: And to bring this all back to this four year old,
6:51
Speaker 3: it turns out that the mom didn't even eat his
6:54
Speaker 3: ice cream. The mom had two ice creams and she
6:57
Speaker 3: ate hers and just had his in the foray. Ready,
7:05
Speaker 3: that's he is piping hot today and now Amanda.
7:09
Speaker 1: Fills the sea. Let's see.
7:13
Speaker 2: So are they just full on in disguise or are
7:16
Speaker 2: they just spending a lot of money to keep their
7:19
Speaker 2: lives on the down low. I am loving that Travis
7:21
Speaker 2: Kelcey and Taylor Swift had not been spotted since the
7:23
Speaker 2: Super Bowl until yesterday in Park City, Utah. I guess
7:28
Speaker 2: they've been flying under the radar to a couple of
7:30
Speaker 2: different places. We had heard that they were somewhere tropical,
7:34
Speaker 2: and then there were some rumors they were in New
7:36
Speaker 2: York City and then we found out that it was
7:38
Speaker 2: I think it was his birthday yesterday, so that's where
7:41
Speaker 2: they wanted to go to spend their time.
7:42
Speaker 1: I just love this because.
7:45
Speaker 2: They don't want to be seen everywhere, you know what,
7:48
Speaker 2: I why are you laughing at me?
7:50
Speaker 1: I'm so passionate, like you're so proud of I am.
7:54
Speaker 2: I just am because the whole world is sick of
7:56
Speaker 2: these guys. They don't necessarily want to be the spotlight
8:01
Speaker 2: of everything. It just so happens. Everything they do people
8:03
Speaker 2: care about. And I like that they've had a beat
8:06
Speaker 2: to just kind of get away from all of it.
8:08
Speaker 2: Now that she's not on tour, he's not playing football
8:11
Speaker 2: at the moment, right just getting.
8:14
Speaker 3: Like mom Amanda, the Travis Kelcey and Taylor Swift. That's
8:17
Speaker 3: kind of fun, or like big sister Amanda.
8:20
Speaker 1: Maybe I don't care either way.
8:22
Speaker 2: I just I'm happy for them that they're getting the
8:24
Speaker 2: time that they deserve for each other. This. On the
8:29
Speaker 2: other hand, I've got thoughts about Wild Mama meis a
8:33
Speaker 2: step in Britney Spears. I love her, I support her,
8:37
Speaker 2: but can we just make maybe some of these videos private?
8:40
Speaker 2: Like I just it's getting.
8:42
Speaker 1: Out of hand, a little too comfortable with what she
8:45
Speaker 1: shares on.
8:46
Speaker 2: Very very much so, so she shared this rare video
8:48
Speaker 2: with her son. I was so excited because at the
8:52
Speaker 2: on the what is it like the first picture you
8:54
Speaker 2: see on a queen?
8:56
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't do you know what I mean?
8:57
Speaker 2: When pops up and you're scrolling, it's a picture of
8:59
Speaker 2: her son, and I'm thinking, oh, this is fantastic because
9:02
Speaker 2: everything else is you half naked, spinning around in your
9:05
Speaker 2: living room. He captions it. He's a genius. I'm in
9:08
Speaker 2: awe of him. I can't believe he's mine. I was
9:12
Speaker 2: honestly scared. That's not normal, Like, oh, this has my
9:16
Speaker 2: full attention, Brittany. What is your son about?
9:17
Speaker 1: What to do?
9:19
Speaker 2: So we're gonna play the video for you. The beginning
9:22
Speaker 2: is where the concern is. But his talent is unbelievable.
9:26
Speaker 1: Listen, my son, just play, Oh my God in my
9:34
Speaker 1: bones and my heart and my luve and my my
9:37
Speaker 1: throat and uh love you sir, Hello, Hello, Britney. Stop it.
9:47
Speaker 2: While.
9:50
Speaker 1: And then you find out the kid's a beast. He's Beethoven.
9:54
Speaker 2: Yeah, And you have to watch the video to see
10:00
Speaker 2: because this doesn't even do it justice. I mean, he
10:02
Speaker 2: is in his element. It is fantastic. But waiting up
10:06
Speaker 2: to it was just a It was a turn.
10:08
Speaker 3: Of events, and I understand being excited as a parent
10:11
Speaker 3: were we're like, oh my god, and you freak out,
10:13
Speaker 3: but for thirty seconds. But it was just next level
10:16
Speaker 3: and yeah it's way overdone. Yeah as a mom, trust me.
10:20
Speaker 2: In the background of every video I have of my kids,
10:22
Speaker 2: I'm annoyed by myself.
10:24
Speaker 1: Okay, I hate my voice in the back. Oh you're
10:26
Speaker 1: I mean all the things.
10:27
Speaker 2: Get it.
10:28
Speaker 1: I get this. This just feels a little different. Ye,
10:32
Speaker 1: a little far there and no word on the street.
10:36
Speaker 2: As Jennifer Gardner's boyfriend John Miller is not happy about
10:39
Speaker 2: this recent photo. We were talking about it last week.
10:41
Speaker 2: Ben Affleck was spending some time with Jennifer Gardner. It
10:44
Speaker 2: was one of their kids' birthdays. They were paintballing and
10:47
Speaker 2: it kind of looks like he's going to tackle her,
10:49
Speaker 2: but it is. It's a lovey dovey photo. It gave
10:52
Speaker 2: people the feels. Thorus is say, he is just done
10:56
Speaker 2: with the disrespect. He understands that they're co parenting. He
11:00
Speaker 2: is okay with that. He has been since they've been together,
11:03
Speaker 2: but he did give her an ultimatum saying he doesn't
11:05
Speaker 2: want to see stuff like that again. They already have
11:08
Speaker 2: to spend holidays special occasions together, but it feels as
11:12
Speaker 2: though they're leaning too.
11:13
Speaker 1: Much on each other, is what we're being told.
11:15
Speaker 3: Sure, I don't see anything wrong with that kind of
11:18
Speaker 3: drawing a line where what you think is appropriate and
11:20
Speaker 3: not appropriate going forward for your relationship with her.
11:23
Speaker 1: And if that's not.
11:24
Speaker 3: What she thinks she can do or wants to do,
11:27
Speaker 3: then they don't need to be together.
11:29
Speaker 1: That's fine. Absolutely.
11:30
Speaker 2: I can't help but feel that this was just like
11:33
Speaker 2: one photo that somebody was just trying to get. They
11:37
Speaker 2: got it and blew it out of proportion, right, But
11:39
Speaker 2: if that was your relationship, even if there was a
11:43
Speaker 2: just all the trust in the world, you're seeing that
11:45
Speaker 2: with the headline that your girl is trying to get
11:49
Speaker 2: back with her ex.
11:50
Speaker 1: How do you not feel icky about that? Yeah?
11:53
Speaker 3: Also, we had kind of mentioned this in earlier and
11:57
Speaker 3: just earlier this week or whatever or was that last week?
11:59
Speaker 3: Doesn't matter or does ben Affleck? Does he not know
12:02
Speaker 3: an Emily?
12:04
Speaker 2: No, he just knows two gens and that's it. And
12:07
Speaker 2: they're on recycle.
12:08
Speaker 3: Why doesn't he try, Jennifer Aniston go for the three piece?
12:13
Speaker 1: You might be onto something here. I'm just saying, throw
12:16
Speaker 1: out a tweet. I'm I'm pretty sure she's single. See
12:19
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. I'm sure she's ready to mingle with Ben.
12:21
Speaker 1: But who knows it? Hollywood. One thing I've noticed in
12:27
Speaker 1: my four how many months have I been here? Four
12:30
Speaker 1: or five? November December January? Four months? Five months? Yeah,
12:34
Speaker 1: something like that. One thing I've kind.
12:36
Speaker 3: Of noticed in maybe and it also might just be
12:38
Speaker 3: my neighborhood or where I live in South Fargo, But
12:41
Speaker 3: have you noticed a lot of roundabouts in Fargo? Oh?
12:45
Speaker 2: Don't even are you don't even get me started.
12:49
Speaker 1: Are you pro or anti roundabout?
12:53
Speaker 3: Because I got nothing would fire up someone from the
12:56
Speaker 3: Midwest like a good old roundabout conversation.
12:59
Speaker 2: It's actually really bad timing that you brought this up,
13:02
Speaker 2: because I just had a park conversation with some moms. Yeah,
13:08
Speaker 2: everybody just rolled their eyes. They're like, oh, here we go,
13:11
Speaker 2: little mom chatter. Because in our neighborhood over in West Fargo,
13:16
Speaker 2: near a school, it's a four way stop, and there
13:19
Speaker 2: was a conversation to be had that that was going
13:22
Speaker 2: to be a roundabout, and we were also anti that,
13:26
Speaker 2: especially by a school, because people are terrible at roundabouts.
13:31
Speaker 2: I really would like to protect my children as much
13:33
Speaker 2: as possible. And with this four way you're able to
13:36
Speaker 2: see everything. It's wide open, you can clearly see that
13:40
Speaker 2: kids are going to be coming going. It's just it
13:43
Speaker 2: seems like common sense. Okay, just found out on Monday.
13:48
Speaker 2: But there's some sort of grant and they are trying
13:50
Speaker 2: to have the conversation again to make it a roundabout,
13:53
Speaker 2: and it looks like it would go through and my
13:57
Speaker 2: mom a hat came on and I lost my mind.
14:00
Speaker 2: So it's like, this is the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
14:02
Speaker 2: Why would we do this? Not a roundabout? Lady huh?
14:05
Speaker 2: In certain regards, there's a few of them around our area,
14:08
Speaker 2: and it makes sense, I guess sure, But we've also
14:12
Speaker 2: had a lot of different accidents. I get accidents hap
14:14
Speaker 2: at four way stops. I get all of it. I
14:17
Speaker 2: just with as much traffic and where you're at. Some
14:20
Speaker 2: people truly just don't understand how.
14:23
Speaker 1: To use a roundabout right right on.
14:27
Speaker 3: See, I like I'm pro roundabout actually, I like roundabouts
14:30
Speaker 3: and I did look up you know, some of the
14:32
Speaker 3: advantages and disadvantages to roundabouts. I just every day I
14:37
Speaker 3: basically have to drive through like three or four of
14:39
Speaker 3: these things.
14:40
Speaker 1: And it's not like new. I know what roundabouts are, obviously, but.
14:44
Speaker 3: To use multiple on a day to day basis has
14:48
Speaker 3: just been kind of an interesting thing I've navigated in
14:51
Speaker 3: the past four or five months.
14:52
Speaker 2: And I get if you're, for instance, you live in
14:54
Speaker 2: South Fargo, you're driving straight through, I get it kind
14:57
Speaker 2: of slows traffic, I understand in some res guards For
15:01
Speaker 2: me in this one specific roundabout, that's getting me real
15:04
Speaker 2: hot under the collar right now, as I just feel
15:07
Speaker 2: like there is going to be so many injuries or accidents,
15:11
Speaker 2: kids not really seeing a car coming around, or people
15:14
Speaker 2: not paying attention. We are in a world of texting
15:17
Speaker 2: and driving, I don't care who you are, and distracted.
15:20
Speaker 1: That just does not feel right for me.
15:22
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, some of the advantages for asking some of
15:25
Speaker 3: the I didn't know you felt such a way about it.
15:28
Speaker 1: I really didn't either until just start.
15:31
Speaker 3: Okay, Well, some of the advantages about roundabouts, well safety
15:35
Speaker 3: Supposedly these do improve excuse me, these do reduce the
15:40
Speaker 3: risk of serious crashes and injuries up to ninety percent.
15:44
Speaker 3: Traffic flow allows traffic to flow continuously continuously as opposed
15:49
Speaker 3: like red and green lights. Pedestrian safety supposedly tell me
15:53
Speaker 3: about that. Supposedly, roundabouts are safer for pedestrians because of
15:57
Speaker 3: the slower speeds, shorter crossing distances, and better sight lines.
16:02
Speaker 1: And then these last couple.
16:04
Speaker 2: See so what I just argued that does not feel
16:07
Speaker 2: real to me in just this certain area. Right, Maybe
16:11
Speaker 2: I'm wrong, Maybe I'm wrong, but I'm not okay with it.
16:15
Speaker 3: Well you're not totally wrong, and I will get to
16:17
Speaker 3: those in a second here, thank you. The last two
16:19
Speaker 3: just environment and then cost. You know, you don't have
16:21
Speaker 3: to keep up with the red and green lights and
16:23
Speaker 3: the maintenance and blobbles.
16:24
Speaker 1: This is why a stop sign does wonders.
16:26
Speaker 3: Right, all right, Well, here are some of the disadvantages,
16:29
Speaker 3: and really the big, only big one is.
16:35
Speaker 1: We don't know how to use them.
16:36
Speaker 3: Roundabouts can be confusing for drivers, especially when you've been
16:39
Speaker 3: driving a certain way for fifty sixty however many years,
16:42
Speaker 3: and then all of a sudden you got to learn
16:44
Speaker 3: how to use a roundabout. Even though I do think
16:47
Speaker 3: it's incredibly incredibly simple to figure out how to use
16:51
Speaker 3: a roundabout to some degree.
16:53
Speaker 2: But when you have kids who are trying to walk
16:55
Speaker 2: across and do when people are thinking they're going around
16:58
Speaker 2: and then they have to turn. Some people don't use
17:00
Speaker 2: their turn signal in the roundabout because they think they're
17:03
Speaker 2: just flowing through.
17:04
Speaker 1: Right.
17:06
Speaker 2: The one disadvantage I think NIX is all the advantages.
17:11
Speaker 2: Oh okay, if nobody knows how to really use them,
17:14
Speaker 2: or the majority of people, then we're talking more accidents.
17:17
Speaker 1: We're talking more injuries and all of the other things.
17:20
Speaker 3: Well, I will help you right now if you do
17:22
Speaker 3: not know how to use one of those roundabouts in
17:24
Speaker 3: South Fargo, the one of the three I go through
17:26
Speaker 3: just about every day. Here's how it works. When you
17:28
Speaker 3: are in the roundabout, it is pedal to the metal.
17:31
Speaker 3: You don't stop.
17:32
Speaker 1: You just keep going till you hit your cannot until
17:34
Speaker 1: you hit a kid.
17:35
Speaker 2: When they're walking across the street because you're not paying attention.
17:38
Speaker 3: When you want to get into the roundabout, you wait
17:41
Speaker 3: your darn turn.
17:42
Speaker 1: That's about how it works. I didn't know this was
17:45
Speaker 1: going to get you all me either, all up in arm.
17:48
Speaker 2: Maybe I need to go to a I'm sure there's
17:50
Speaker 2: some sort of meeting in West Fargo Bounty.
17:56
Speaker 1: Today's variety big ninety eight point seven.
17:58
Speaker 2: All right, some sunshine today, little to no wins, high
18:01
Speaker 2: of about fifty and Gabe, this time change really got
18:04
Speaker 2: me this morning.
18:05
Speaker 1: I was exhausted. I've had a cup of coffee.
18:09
Speaker 2: And my fitfit just did the oh my gosh, you
18:11
Speaker 2: need to calm down vibration because you brought up round about.
18:15
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was gonna say, I just leaned. I learned
18:17
Speaker 3: a convo not to bring up at Christmas dinner with
18:19
Speaker 3: Amanda Holy Smokes.
18:21
Speaker 2: Politics and roundabouts apparently are my thing.
18:24
Speaker 1: I love that.
18:25
Speaker 3: And see, I actually do not mind a roundabout if
18:28
Speaker 3: I don't have to sit at a red light for
18:30
Speaker 3: however long. You know, I see nothing wrong with the
18:32
Speaker 3: nice roundabout. They use them everywhere in the world, but here.
18:35
Speaker 2: Basically, and it's fine for you know, you and I
18:37
Speaker 2: who are the only ones on the road at three.
18:38
Speaker 1: Through a roundabout.
18:41
Speaker 2: Baby, I love it because then we don't have to
18:43
Speaker 2: deal with the stoplight that we're the only one sitting
18:46
Speaker 2: at going Can we just go through this?
18:48
Speaker 3: Right?
18:48
Speaker 2: We didn't get a message here from Erica, who said
18:50
Speaker 2: roundabouts are dumb near schools, which was what I was
18:53
Speaker 2: complaining about. She does know, Gabe, the roundabouts in your
18:56
Speaker 2: area in South Vargo, and she says that's great except
18:59
Speaker 2: for where it's near a high school and young drivers
19:02
Speaker 2: maybe take those a little too fast around the curves,
19:05
Speaker 2: and incidents and accidents happen, especially for me in the winter.
19:09
Speaker 1: Cush.
19:09
Speaker 2: You really got me now, with snow around them. That
19:14
Speaker 2: doesn't make sense to me.
19:16
Speaker 1: And I actually do see the argument for around this.
19:18
Speaker 3: Around schools, you know, get a big giant stop thing
19:21
Speaker 3: with a crosswalk and whatever.
19:23
Speaker 1: I can see that argument.
19:25
Speaker 3: But if you're just like driving down twenty fifth Street,
19:27
Speaker 3: you know you can't figure out a roundabout.
19:29
Speaker 1: We got to retake some drivers out. I think you
19:31
Speaker 1: know what I mean. Yeah, But I get the argument
19:34
Speaker 1: around to school for sure.
19:35
Speaker 3: And I guess roundabouts the hot topic today here. The
19:39
Speaker 3: phone is ringing. It's big ninety eight point seven.
19:41
Speaker 1: I also hate roundabouts.
19:43
Speaker 3: I think they're pointless.
19:45
Speaker 1: Can I get a name?
19:46
Speaker 3: Men? Well?
19:48
Speaker 1: Pointless and red light anymore?
19:51
Speaker 2: Oh?
19:51
Speaker 3: I would much rather go have a four way stop
19:55
Speaker 3: than a freaking roundabout.
19:56
Speaker 1: Men came up with this idea.
19:58
Speaker 3: I swear to God, it's a man thing.
20:02
Speaker 1: It's totally a man thing.
20:03
Speaker 2: Aren't and are aren't stop signs wait deeper.
20:06
Speaker 3: Than a freaking roundabout? And I feel like Sifer, Yeah,
20:12
Speaker 3: I'm with you. I am with your sister.
20:15
Speaker 1: I'm with you. I don't know.
20:16
Speaker 3: There's a lot of people get tickets for running through
20:19
Speaker 3: stop signs.
20:19
Speaker 1: It's pretty impossible to run through a roundabout.
20:22
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, No, the buses just have to go over
20:24
Speaker 2: them because they can't.
20:25
Speaker 1: Go around them. They do have to cut through the middle.
20:28
Speaker 2: It is so insane and uh, oh my gosh. I
20:33
Speaker 2: just have to ask, First of all, what's your name, Diana?
20:36
Speaker 2: Diana appreciates you. Second of all, what part of town
20:39
Speaker 2: do you live in? If you don't mind, Jerry.
20:41
Speaker 3: I also live West Fargo.
20:42
Speaker 1: I live in Well, I live in the Charleswood area, gotcha?
20:45
Speaker 1: All right?
20:46
Speaker 2: Well, maybe i'll see at the next West Fargo City
20:50
Speaker 2: Commission meeting and you and I can start preaching to
20:53
Speaker 2: the choir.
20:54
Speaker 1: No, we'll bring the hot damn and we'll be preaching
20:57
Speaker 1: to the choir exactly.
20:59
Speaker 3: I never want to thought roundabouts would be that hot
21:02
Speaker 3: of a topic. There's Olivia Rod. We need the vampire
21:06
Speaker 3: who saw Today's Variety Big ninety eight point seven. Earlier
21:12
Speaker 3: on in the show Today where you were talking pickup lines,
21:15
Speaker 3: would shut up and dance with me?
21:17
Speaker 1: For work on you?
21:18
Speaker 3: Man?
21:18
Speaker 2: Ooh nay, it would really depend again it's delivery.
21:23
Speaker 1: But if somebody.
21:24
Speaker 2: Grabbed me and like spin me around, like shut up
21:26
Speaker 2: and dance with me, I might be like, whoa I mean.
21:29
Speaker 1: Back in the day? Sure? Yeah? And also what kind
21:32
Speaker 1: of dance? Yeah, that's true. You know, I don't know
21:35
Speaker 1: what song is playing exactly. I got you, You're setting
21:39
Speaker 1: all of it. I did just get low, Get low?
21:42
Speaker 1: Might be an awkward time to pull that off.
21:45
Speaker 2: Oh man, all right, weather today it is going to
21:47
Speaker 2: be sunny hi of about fifty bumping up to sixty
21:50
Speaker 2: five tomorrow, So get out and enjoy before who knows
21:53
Speaker 2: what's coming Friday into Saturday.
21:55
Speaker 1: Still feel like it's a little too early to tell.
21:57
Speaker 3: There's something I have got to cut out of my
22:00
Speaker 3: my spending here, Amanda, there's a it's just gotta go
22:05
Speaker 3: and I need someone to be on board in this
22:07
Speaker 3: bandwagon with me here, Okay, I have Corey and I
22:11
Speaker 3: together have kind of realized, you know, we really gotta
22:14
Speaker 3: stop doing the old food delivery, we need to just
22:18
Speaker 3: go pick it up, you know what I'm saying.
22:21
Speaker 2: See, we are so not in this life. We don't
22:25
Speaker 2: ever do food delivery. Sure, we cook at home so much. Yeah,
22:29
Speaker 2: mainly because my husband is an amazing cook and he
22:31
Speaker 2: loves to do it. We tend to go that's our
22:33
Speaker 2: treat to go out. And yeah, we don't even really
22:37
Speaker 2: do food pick up or anything like that.
22:39
Speaker 3: Yeah, we And I would say for the most part,
22:42
Speaker 3: we make food or have leftovers at home pretty frequently.
22:45
Speaker 3: But you know, the once or twice a week where
22:47
Speaker 3: we're both kind of just being lazy and don't want
22:49
Speaker 3: to do anything, and then it's like, oh, we'll just
22:50
Speaker 3: have him drop it off.
22:52
Speaker 1: And then after you know.
22:53
Speaker 2: Once or twice, like once a week is okay, twice
22:58
Speaker 2: a week at.
22:58
Speaker 1: A lot for food.
23:01
Speaker 3: And I'm talking about just the delivery, not even on
23:04
Speaker 3: top of the actual charge of the food.
23:06
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. I know it.
23:07
Speaker 3: In a month, we've spent like one hundred and fifty
23:10
Speaker 3: dollars for someone to drop food off at the front door.
23:13
Speaker 3: So I have nixed that from the old Glitten budget
23:16
Speaker 3: in the past, I don't know, three weeks two weeks
23:19
Speaker 3: or whatever. If we do are too lazy to make something,
23:22
Speaker 3: which happens you know, oh absolutely, we don't want to
23:24
Speaker 3: cook anything, and you're supporting the economy. Yeah, exactly, we uh,
23:28
Speaker 3: I will just go out and pick it up. I'll
23:31
Speaker 3: just fight the twenty minutes of If I just go
23:34
Speaker 3: there and pick it up, I'll be back and I
23:35
Speaker 3: can eat it as opposed to paying a twelve thirteen
23:39
Speaker 3: twenty dollars delivery charge.
23:41
Speaker 2: So the one thing that I have realized is so
23:44
Speaker 2: many times I think something's going to be faster going
23:47
Speaker 2: through a drive through doing whatever it may be, right,
23:50
Speaker 2: nine times out of ten, you forget how easy it
23:55
Speaker 2: is to just whip something up, and it is.
23:57
Speaker 1: Just it's quick. It's just in your mind it feels
23:59
Speaker 1: like soch a big deal. Yeah, I'm if.
24:02
Speaker 3: You just get up and start doing how fast you'll
24:05
Speaker 3: be done totally.
24:06
Speaker 2: I mean, you can whip up spaghetti in less than
24:09
Speaker 2: ten minutes. There are times you're waiting in a drive
24:11
Speaker 2: through for fifteen minutes.
24:14
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, plus the drive time, all of it. Yeah,
24:17
Speaker 1: So that is kind of my vow.
24:19
Speaker 3: I apologize if you are a door dash delivery driver,
24:22
Speaker 3: an uber Eats delivery driver. I have been providing your service,
24:27
Speaker 3: and I appreciate it, and I pay for it because
24:30
Speaker 3: I want it.
24:31
Speaker 1: But I gotta stop, so I'm sorry.
24:34
Speaker 3: Guys, You'll probably not be making that stop and South
24:37
Speaker 3: Fargo anytime soon, at least at my house.
24:39
Speaker 1: Not even closer.
24:40
Speaker 2: True with the Saint Patti's Day pub crawl on Saturday,
24:43
Speaker 2: you're gonna wake up on.
24:44
Speaker 1: Somebody and be like, I'm gonna need some shiniese food
24:47
Speaker 1: for this hangover. Today's variety Big ninety eight point seven.
24:55
Speaker 2: All right, some sunshine today, get out and enjoy the
24:57
Speaker 2: wind is not going to be a factor. I have
24:59
Speaker 2: about fifty bumping up to about sixty five tomorrow, and
25:01
Speaker 2: we're just not going to talk about Friday and Saturday yet.
25:03
Speaker 1: Because T B D. Yeah, don't break my heart now
25:07
Speaker 1: exactly all right.
25:09
Speaker 3: What is something when you were younger that you were
25:11
Speaker 3: either a attracted to or b you thought was attractive
25:16
Speaker 3: or made you more attractive you thought it was cool.
25:18
Speaker 3: It doesn't necessarily have to be a physical thing per se,
25:21
Speaker 3: or it could be something you thought made you more attractive.
25:24
Speaker 3: Let us know this morning, and there are a lot
25:26
Speaker 3: of people who chimed in on Facebook and some of
25:28
Speaker 3: these are great. What about you, Amanda, What were you attracted.
25:31
Speaker 1: To when you were young?
25:31
Speaker 3: Did you like it?
25:32
Speaker 1: Did you like a bad boy with a leather jacket
25:34
Speaker 1: and a Mustang boy? No, actually quite opposite.
25:38
Speaker 2: I had a type four guys with no cars and
25:41
Speaker 2: no jobs. It's like I wanted to help help them.
25:45
Speaker 3: It was.
25:46
Speaker 1: It was a fun run. It was not necessarily something
25:48
Speaker 1: wrong with a guy with a bus pass, you know. No,
25:50
Speaker 1: I didn't even have that. Yeah, it was it was.
25:53
Speaker 1: It was a thing, alright. It was a thing in
25:56
Speaker 1: my day.
25:56
Speaker 3: And you eventually grew out of that. At what points
26:00
Speaker 3: in your life did you grow out of that?
26:02
Speaker 1: Do you want to let me know? Thank you? Jesus,
26:04
Speaker 1: Ah gosh, I don't. I don't. I don't know.
26:07
Speaker 3: Game.
26:07
Speaker 1: Okay, you're really giving me feelings right now. All right,
26:11
Speaker 1: Well we'll go to me then real quick. Well we're
26:13
Speaker 1: what I used to find or that I did.
26:16
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I don't know if it was like post
26:19
Speaker 2: COVID age all of it after having kids and just
26:22
Speaker 2: my husband loving natural beauty, but I used to wear
26:25
Speaker 2: so much makeup.
26:27
Speaker 1: Oh sure, a little bit, Oh my gosh, like.
26:31
Speaker 2: Real foundation like cake face, oh okay, and then white
26:36
Speaker 2: eyeshadow just like the look back in the day. I
26:39
Speaker 2: follow a girl on Instagram who makes fun of what
26:43
Speaker 2: we used to do, just the and the sequenzy, just
26:48
Speaker 2: all the things.
26:49
Speaker 1: Well that was no longer. You and Jennifer have that
26:51
Speaker 1: in common.
26:52
Speaker 3: She also said heavy makeup, so I'm assuming she did
26:56
Speaker 3: a little bit of overdoing it with the makeup.
26:58
Speaker 1: A little and now you're lucky to find me in it.
27:02
Speaker 2: Sure right, I feel like they're still residue right from
27:05
Speaker 2: the nineties even early two thousands.
27:08
Speaker 3: When I was younger, probably you know, high school going
27:11
Speaker 3: into college is what I would say. There was a
27:14
Speaker 3: couple things, not a couple, but I always, you know,
27:17
Speaker 3: I was really into like the party girls kind of and.
27:21
Speaker 1: As I got older.
27:22
Speaker 3: As I got older, I kind of started to realize, like, yes,
27:25
Speaker 3: it's cool if you're someone who likes to have fun
27:28
Speaker 3: and you know, go out and celebrate whatever. But if
27:31
Speaker 3: that's the only thing you do, you know, that can
27:35
Speaker 3: get old kind of quick, I learned as I got older.
27:38
Speaker 3: So that was something I kind of grew out of.
27:39
Speaker 1: A lit fair enough. And then when I was younger,
27:42
Speaker 1: I don't know, what it was.
27:44
Speaker 3: I just thought if a dude had on some kind
27:47
Speaker 3: of ring, like on his thumb or on his pinky
27:49
Speaker 3: and he could play the guitar, he was the coolest
27:52
Speaker 3: dude of all time.
27:54
Speaker 1: So you just like were like a class ring on
27:56
Speaker 1: your No. I never did Oh, I never did it.
27:58
Speaker 1: I didn't wear a ring till I got mad at it.
28:00
Speaker 1: And now I think I look cool. You know what
28:02
Speaker 1: I'm saying. I get that.
28:03
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just thought it was a kind of a
28:05
Speaker 3: cool look, like, Oh, this dude's like interesting, he's mysterious.
28:08
Speaker 1: This guy's taken. Yeah, I'm trying to be like that guy. Also,
28:12
Speaker 1: there's probably people on there.
28:13
Speaker 2: They had a thing for people who were taken back
28:15
Speaker 2: in the day.
28:17
Speaker 1: I don't know if anyone has put that into that.
28:19
Speaker 3: But there are people who that's their type. Kylie got it.
28:24
Speaker 3: Kylie was attracted to bad boys, she says. Sarah was
28:28
Speaker 3: this is great frosted tips? Oh god, were you ever
28:32
Speaker 3: into the dudes with frosted tips?
28:34
Speaker 1: Man?
28:35
Speaker 2: No, they didn't have a car or a job to
28:37
Speaker 2: afford it or get to their hair appointments.
28:42
Speaker 1: Today's Variety, Big ninety eight point seven. All right, into
28:45
Speaker 1: these next couple of days.

Speaker 2: It's going to be sunny fifty today, sixty five tomorrow, Friday.

29:33
Speaker 3: then you hear stories like this and you do remember the.
29:36
Speaker 1: Good parts of social media.
29:37
Speaker 3: This is an awesome story about a bride for Gabe's good.
29:41
Speaker 1: News of the data. You're gonna give us all the fields.
29:46
Speaker 1: It's very very sweet.
29:47
Speaker 3: Yes. This woman named Carly was devastated when she learned
29:53
Speaker 3: that the order for her dream wedding reception dress was
29:57
Speaker 3: canceled just weeks before the big day. Imagine, I don't
30:01
Speaker 3: know how something like that happens.
30:03
Speaker 1: Hey, your weddings in a couple weeks? But oops, how
30:06
Speaker 1: is that amassing? Yeah? Right?

31:50
Speaker 3: instance where you know, something awesome happened.
