  Speaker 1: It is that time of year for at least Fargo
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Public Schools parent-teacher conferences. I got the notification a couple
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: days ago, or was it yesterday? I have no concept
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: of time. But basically it said click on this link
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: and schedule your conference time. So it'll be after Halloween.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: I think sometime in the first. I should probably look
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: at that.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: It sounds like you don't know when this.
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: Is at all. This could be in December and Angie
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: doesn't have a clue.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Gosh, I never said I was a good mom. No,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: I did sign up for a time slot and it's
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: in my calendar. So now I don't have to think
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: about it until I get the reminder.
• 0:40
  Speaker 4: You're right.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: Out of sight, out of mind.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: But I am interested. Like now I've been thinking, I
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: wonder what. His teacher, Liam, this is for Liam, my
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: fourth grader.
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: I wonder what his teacher is going to say about
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: him at conferences or ask me during conferences based on
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: whatever his behavior is at school. Because I will tell
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: you this. Liam is very open about what happens at school.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: And I'm concerned. I have some concerns. You have questions.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: I have some concerns. He's very much, he does not
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: like Any nonsense and like horseplay or whatever when it
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: is time.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: He's not a fan of the riffraff?
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: No, he's not. And when it's time to like get
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: work done, he gets very mad. It is like four
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: out of the five days a week where he's like,
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: we were trying to do our work. And then these kids,
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: as though he's not a kid himself.
• 1:36
  Speaker 5: He's so serious.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: And these kids just kept joking around, not getting their
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: work done. Like, oh, I'm trying to focus. And I
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: love that. He wants to focus. I'm concerned about how
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: he communicates that to those students.
• 1:52
  Speaker 5: What's he saying?
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, what's he saying? And I feel like there's going
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: to be some discussion of that. But I guess it's
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: not the worst problem to have. But I did want
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: to know, like, when you were growing up, Gabe, I
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: feel like you were probably problem. What were the teachers
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: saying about you at parent-teacher conferences? And also, what did
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: the teachers say about you at conferences? 701-280-1987. We also
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: have this up on the Facebook page. I just want
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: to be prepared for anything.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: It sounds like Liam is nine going on 59. This
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: dude sounds like a grown man. He's going to be.
• 2:27
  Speaker 5: A teacher's pet. Be like, oh, like he just tattles
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: on the kids to the teacher. And yeah, it's great.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, I don't want that. I don't want
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: him to be a snitch.
• 2:36
  Speaker 5: Well, maybe he wants to be though.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: I mean, as long as I guess it's his school experience.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: If he is happy to be the snitch, fine, I guess.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: I feel like Megan, was that you?
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: I was a teacher's pet.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I can see that a mile away.
• 2:54
  Speaker 6: I was not one to, like, tell on people, but,
• 2:56
  Speaker 6: I mean, if they needed help with something, I mean,
• 2:59
  Speaker 6: I would volunteer for everything and anything, and I would
• 3:01
  Speaker 6: definitely have answers to whatever the question was.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Were you, like, a lead-by-example kind of student?
• 3:06
  Speaker 5: I think so, yes. Versus a bossy one? Oh, big time.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: I was a leader. No, you were a leader. I
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: was definitely a.
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: Leader, yeah.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: Megan and I would have hated each other in fourth grade.
• 3:15
  Speaker 7: Why?
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: I got along with everybody, though.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: Because Megan was the one who reminded the teacher to
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: take the homework.
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: Gosh.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: Shut up, Megan. I'm just kidding. I.
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: At parent-teacher conferences, I'm finding out on Facebook here, I
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: think every teacher tells every parent that their student talks
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: too much.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: Of course, I got a lot of that growing up.
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: I believe that. Everyone says this.
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: Dakota Breyer, she said, talks too much and always started
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: off my sentences with the word like when I try
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: to chime in on things. Amanda is kind of more
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: on the Megan side here. Amanda said that I was
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: quiet and well-behaved is what her teacher said about her.
• 3:56
  Speaker 8: Okay.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: I was not quiet. Look at these laugh emojis after.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: I have a feeling Amanda is no longer quiet and well-behaved.
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: Look at this here. Leticia, that I talk too much. Dave,
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: talk too much. Debbie, talks too much. Alicia, talks too much.
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: All right, teachers, I love and respect you. A lot
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: of my great friends are teachers. We might have to
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: find something new to say about every student that's ever
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: been in school.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Everyone's a yapper. Well, what about Chris? His was does
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: not work well with others.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: My parents would not have appreciated that. The talks too much.
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: They kind of could get over a lot of times
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: when I was at conferences. It was, you know, yeah,
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: he jokes around and talks in class. But I was
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: I wasn't like a bad student.
• 4:41
  Speaker 5: You know, I was still getting good grades.
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: I would still get all my stuff done and get
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: solid grades. Yeah, I was like a B student, probably
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: a B, a student in gym.
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: In gym yeah my.
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: Favorite class the one that i would get a lot
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: though would be like he uh tries to hurry up
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: and get his work done too fast because obviously i
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: wanted to not be doing it so i'm a sophomore
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: exactly i wanted to horse around in class and so
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: i would sprint through work which teachers didn't love because
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: i would be done so fast but then i would
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: turn it in and it would i'd get a good
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: grade Oh, so they really kind of hated the fact
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: that I would try to sprint through it, do pretty well.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: And they were like, maybe he slowed down.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: He could, instead of getting the 88%, he'd get a
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: 94% or something.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: Did you ever follow that advice? Zero, I have not
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: followed that advice to almost being.
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: 36 years old. It's still not doing it.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: Never going to change, ever. I'm going to sprint through
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: everything as fast as I can do it. ADHD superpower.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: I really hope that Liam is not listening right now
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: because I do not want him to pick up this habit.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: I would have been one of the kids Liam was
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: yelling at.
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: Angie's son yelling at me is hilarious.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Oh, it could happen. You just wait.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: What did they say about you at school?
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Oh, it was a dream to have in class. I
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: really was.
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: I was.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: A little bit of a teacher's pet.
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: See?
• 6:03

• 6:43
  Speaker 3: We'll let you hit lead off.
• 6:44
  Speaker 6: Okay, so fun fact about me, and I'm not sure
• 6:47
  Speaker 6: if it's a really fun fact, is I am terrible
• 6:49
  Speaker 6: at napping.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: Like, awful at it.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, I have this same problem.
• 6:53
  Speaker 6: Like, I can never take a nap when I'm... But yesterday,
• 6:57
  Speaker 6: your girl got home, and I sat down on the
• 6:59
  Speaker 6: couch for a little while.
• 7:00
  Speaker 5: And I fell asleep for an hour and it was glorious.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: That's actually the most magical thing I've ever heard. That
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: is beautiful.
• 7:07
  Speaker 7: Yep.
• 7:07
  Speaker 6: I woke up falling a little bit, but I was like,
• 7:09
  Speaker 6: oh my gosh, I clearly needed that. Like that, just
• 7:11
  Speaker 6: that hour of sleep. I didn't even plan it, but
• 7:13
  Speaker 6: it happened. And the dogs just cuddled up next to me.
• 7:16
  Speaker 6: They didn't cry.
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: They didn't whine. They were like, oh, we're going to
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: nap with mom.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: They could sense it. They were like, mama needs a nap.
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and it was kind of gross outside, so they
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: also wanted some cuddles today.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: It was that day yesterday.
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah, right.
• 7:28
  Speaker 5: Ange, what about yours?
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: Okay, so Halloween, obviously on Saturday, and I made the
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: terrible choice of waiting a little bit too long to
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: order my child's costume. And when I did order it,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: it was like, don't worry, it'll be there well before Halloween.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: Then I got a notification yesterday morning that said, Shipment
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: delayed may arrive after Halloween, which what do I do
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: with that? What do I do with that? Go to
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: Spirit Halloween and buy the exact same costume again and
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: then go to Kohl's to return this one when it
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: finally shows up. But when it's a Halloween costume, there's
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: like weird restrictions on when you can return it. All
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: that to say, I got another notification this morning that said, oh,
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: it's on the way. It's expected later today.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: Just kidding.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: I don't have to go through all of that annoying nonsense.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: I can just wait for it to arrive on my doorstep.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: You got it with a just kidding from Coles?
• 8:29
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: That's the biggest W I've ever heard.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: I know, that's amazing.
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: Good for you.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: What about you, Gabe?
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: What's your little victory?
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: Well, I have two.
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: One's kind of a mini one, but Corey and I
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: are getting the Halloween costumes ready to dress up with Kaylee.
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: She is going as Hedwig from Harry Potter.
• 8:46
  Speaker 8: So cute.
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: She has the cutest... Owl-looking onesie. Jumper.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: Jumper, yeah.

• 8:58
  Speaker 3: of course, as Gryffindor students from Harry Potter.
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: And I was tying Corey's tie because, obviously, you know,
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: she's never really tied a tie. She had to go
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: with your boy who's tied a billion ties.
• 9:08
  Speaker 5: Oh, that's right.
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: Now, if you don't know this, I have used this
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: same YouTube video to tie a tie a billion times.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: You can't ever remember it on your own, but you
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: know which one to go to.
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: I know exactly the video, and I got it exactly
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: right first try, and I actually didn't really need the
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: video like halfway through. I just need it for the
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: first like little, wait, does it go inside and around,
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: up and around or whatever?
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: And I got it first shot.
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: So Corey's tie is ready to go to be a

  Speaker 5: I'm a vibe. You're nothing. Angie's the one who's getting
• 10:35
  Speaker 5: dressed up.
• 10:36
  Speaker 8: Oh, my God. Wait.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: Megan literally said, I'm a vibe. You're nothing to you, Gabe.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: And that's my favorite.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: I don't understand how sexy.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: Clip that.
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: I don't understand how sexy North Pacific Railway worker is
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: in a costume.
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: We did this.
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: I wore this outfit for People Magazine's Sexiest Man Alive

  Speaker 1: Let's get it together, Gabe.
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: OK, you might have heard of the you betcha media brand.
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: It was actually started by this man named Miles, the
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: you betcha guy who actually grew up in Fargo. I
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: see his stuff on social media all the time.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: So do I. And I did not know that he
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: grew up in Fargo.
• 11:19
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: And he went around at some Midwest bars and he asked,
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: what is the most attractive blue collar job? You might
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: have a hubby who all he's got to do is
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: put on his work uniform and And go as that
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: for Halloween.
• 11:34

• 11:35
  Speaker 2: Exactly. So 701-280-1987.
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: What are the most attractive blue-collar jobs?
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: What about you two? What do you two think?
• 11:44
  Speaker 5: This is good.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: I think a plumber.
• 11:46
  Speaker 7: Yeah?
• 11:46
  Speaker 5: Yes, because.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: Because of all the money?

  Speaker 1: Say right now.
• 11:53

• 11:57
  Speaker 1: her butt. Yes, I do.

  Speaker 2: Oh, my God.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: No, I think it's because plumbers... Nothing is sexier, especially
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: in 2026, than being employed. And I feel like plumbers
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: will always be in demand.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: Forever, yeah.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: Because we all, everybody poops. And so I feel like

  Speaker 1: plumbers have job security.
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: Forever.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: And that is very sexy. Thank you very much.

  Speaker 4: On Big 98.7.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: This could be a tricky one. And this person has
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: chosen to stay anonymous. Hey, you three, not sure where
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: to go for help with this. So I hope that
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: maybe one of your listeners can offer me some advice,
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: but also keep me anonymous.
• 15:17
  Speaker 8: Oh, my.
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: And basically, is there a way to tell him this
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: that won't totally ruin everything if he doesn't want to date?
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: I just don't want to screw everything up forever. Again,
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: please keep me anonymous. Natasha works for me if you
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: want to call me that.
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: I love that she added that part in.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: So Natasha needs your help. 701-280-1987. Call us, text us.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: We also have this up on the Big 98.7 Facebook
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: page online. What advice do you have? Have you ever
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: been in a friends with benefits situation?
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: Can I just give a big round of applause? Friends
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: with benefits for five years? That is the strongest friends
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: with benefits situation I've ever heard in my life.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, same.
• 16:25
  Speaker 5: How are there not more feelings, like, for both sides?
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: Okay, that is what is my concern, because she wants
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: to date, but I feel like if he wanted to,
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: he would have been already... moved in that direction.
• 16:38
  Speaker 6: I think that she needs to be prepared for that.
• 16:41
  Speaker 6: That if you decide to go and say, hey, I'd
• 16:45
  Speaker 6: actually like to try dating you, that you need to
• 16:47
  Speaker 6: be prepared that he's going to say no. And then
• 16:50
  Speaker 6: it might hurt your feelings and it might be over.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: And it might be. That's the thing. I think she
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: is prepared for him to say no, but she doesn't
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: want to screw everything up forever. So I guess Is
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: it that Natasha text us? Like, is it that if
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: he says no, then you'll be like, OK, fine. Just
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: friends with benefits is fine.
• 17:08
  Speaker 6: But it's never going to be fine with you. If
• 17:10
  Speaker 6: you've grown feelings now, it's never going to be OK
• 17:13
  Speaker 6: with you. Like, she's never going to be able to
• 17:16
  Speaker 6: come back from that.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: Like, yeah, I mean, I could see that. Gabe, what
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: are your thoughts on this?
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: Do you actually want to know?
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: I do actually want to know because I'm not sure.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: Have you been in a friends? Were you ever someone's
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: friend with benefits?
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: I don't think so. Well, even if it.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: Hasn't happened to you, what are your thoughts? Like, what
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: do you think she should do as a dude? I
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: guess here's my question as a dude. Let's say she
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: does say, Hey, I want to whatever. And he doesn't.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: Do you think that now? Even if she wants to
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: go back with friends with benefits, do you think that
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: the guy is now not going to be into it
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: because he's going to be worried the whole time?
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: Natasha, my sweet Natasha here. That dude likes you, okay?
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: I'm telling you right now. How he likes the one half, what,
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: do you think he's not going to like chilling with
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: you on the couch, eating popcorn, watching Lion King with
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: your three-month-old daughter? It'll be all right. Just tell him
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: you like him. He's going to like you back. And
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: if he doesn't, that's horrible advice, but good luck.
• 18:14
  Speaker 5: You don't have anything else beyond that, but yeah.
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: Just tell him. I promise you he'll go on a
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: date or two.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: You think so?
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: I am that confident.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: Oh, I like that, Gabe. That's very optimistic of you.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: I feel like Megan and I both were like, I
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: don't know, girl.
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: Here's what I'm saying.
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: If the benefits is going well for five years, that
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: dude definitely likes you.
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: There's no chance he wouldn't be like, oh, yeah, let's
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: go get a coffee or whatever you do on dates.
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 18:40
  Speaker 5: I get what you're saying.
• 18:41
  Speaker 6: Five years, they got married, and then they came back around.
• 18:44
  Speaker 6: They're like, oh, I remember these benefits.
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: Let's go. Yeah.
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: Maybe that dude's ready to, you know, you both get
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: home from work, you're in the kitchen doing the dishes,
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: making up some mashed potatoes and Swedish meatballs.
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: It's the greatest love story ever told.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: Gabe, this really sounds like your life with Corey. Is
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: this how you guys got together? You're being so specific.
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: Everything we talked.
• 19:06
  Speaker 5: About yesterday is what you're now talking about.
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: No, that's not how we got together, but we did
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: make Swedish meatballs the other day, and I hope that Natasha.
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: Can find that.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: What do you think? Let us know.
• 19:18
  Speaker 7: 701-280-1987.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: Is she going to ruin it all if she tells
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: her dude, hey, I mean her kind of dude, hey,
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: I want to be more than just friends. We had
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: Natasha write in to us and her name ain't Natasha.
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: She wanted to be kept anonymous, but chose the name Natasha.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: And essentially she's got a friends with benefits. They've been
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: friends for 15 years, but whenever they are benefiting each other,
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: they stay exclusive.
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: What a way to put it.
• 19:49
  Speaker 8: Exactly.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: It was like five years exclusive, but then if they
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: met someone, then they could, they would. Cut off the
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: benefits and then whatever. So they both eventually got married
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: to other people. Now they're single again. They already kicked
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: back up the friends with benefits situation. But she wants more.
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: She wants to potentially date in real life. And she
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: doesn't know how to bring that up to him without
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: screwing up the whole situation. So she wants your advice
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: and our advice. Can she ask if this can be
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: something more without messing it up? because there is the
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: chance that he says no, but she doesn't want to
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: screw up the entire thing. So it is a tricky situation.
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: Don said on Facebook, maybe a gamble, but roll the dice.
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: Tell him how you feel. This is the best part
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: of this. The answer is always no.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: If you don't ask.
• 20:39
  Speaker 8: Dang.
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: That is true.
• 20:40
  Speaker 5: I love that.
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's actually really right.
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: I was kind of thinking about this. So she thought
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: they were FWBs for five years, right?
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: Did they ever hang out outside of the benefiting part?
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: Because what if this dude thought they were together for
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: five years?
• 20:54
  Speaker 6: No, I thought about this, too, where I was like, okay,
• 20:56
  Speaker 6: friends with benefits, but they're friends, right? So they're hanging out,
• 21:00
  Speaker 6: they're doing stuff together. Five years, like, you're.
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: Not a couple?
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: That sounds like a couple.
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it kind of does. I mean, I wonder maybe you... Okay,
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: I got it. You sit down together, and you watch back-to-back,
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: no strings attached, with Ashton Kutcher and Natalie Portman, and...
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: Is it called Friends with Benefits?
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: With Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis and just like keep
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: looking over at him to see how he's feeling. Yeah.
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: Or you could go basically the exact same movie called
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: No Strings Attached with Natalie Portman.
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: Just play those back to back.
• 21:36
  Speaker 5: Did she not just say that?
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: I literally just said it. I know that you tune out.
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: Did you say Justin Timberlake?
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: I said both movies, sir.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: The way you just tuned me out. I was reading
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: a long comment on Facebook.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry.
• 21:49
  Speaker 8: My bad.
• 21:51
  Speaker 5: So great.
• 21:52
  Speaker 6: And that's what happens when you decide to go from
• 21:55
  Speaker 6: friends with benefits to in a relationship.
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: I was trying to do two things at once. I'm sorry.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: But clearly what you were reading on Facebook, the comment
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: was probably really good. So let's get some advice for Natasha.
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: This is from Taryn.
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: It says, oh, dude, my bestie of 15 plus years
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: is now my boyfriend of four plus years. He used
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: the Katniss I volunteer as tribute meme to hint he
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: was interested while keeping the stakes low. In the end, though,
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: communication wins out. It could be as simple as, hey,
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: if you're interested in trying things out, I am as well.
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: But if not, I'm definitely happy with the status quo. See,
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: that was kind of hard to pay attention to you
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: and read that paragraph at the same time.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: And truthfully, she had better advice than whatever nonsense I
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: was saying. Taryn, you're not wrong.
• 22:37
  Speaker 6: And hey, Chris over, she texted in and said, I
• 22:40
  Speaker 6: had to make the first move with my husband. We
• 22:42
  Speaker 6: were best friends before we started dating. We decided to
• 22:46
  Speaker 6: see where it goes. And so far, we've been together
• 22:48
  Speaker 6: for 32 years, married 31.
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: See?
• 22:49
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: It can work.
• 22:53
  Speaker 5: I love this.
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: The love story wins in the end, Natasha.
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: I say you go for it.
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: And I also say ask him if he thought you
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: were together because he probably did.
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: Halloween.
• 23:06
  Speaker 5: It's almost here. We've been celebrating. Angie's been dressing up
• 23:09
  Speaker 5: in her costume.
• 23:10
  Speaker 6: Gabe has been adding sexy to whatever he thinks he's
• 23:13
  Speaker 6: dressed as.
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: And I have accomplished that mission for the first three
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: days this week.
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 23:19
  Speaker 6: Well, we're going to find out what's scarier, though. An
• 23:21
  Speaker 6: actual ghost or the dating pool? I've got my thoughts
• 23:25
  Speaker 6: on this.
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: Man, I've been out of that pool for a while.
• 23:28
  Speaker 5: I have not. I've been in here too long. But
• 23:31
  Speaker 5: Gabe and Angie are going to go head-to-head in what
• 23:33
  Speaker 5: I am calling ghosted or haunted.
• 23:35
  Speaker 6: So what I'm going to do is I'm going to
• 23:36
  Speaker 6: give you a clue, and then you've got to tell
• 23:38
  Speaker 6: me which situation you think we're dealing with, ghosted or haunted.
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 23:42
  Speaker 5: Are you ready for this?
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 23:44
  Speaker 5: All right. They only communicate through signs.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: That's haunted. Haunted, right?
• 23:53
  Speaker 5: You're going haunted, Gabe?
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: It's got to be haunted.
• 23:57
  Speaker 5: You're going to go haunted, too?
• 23:59
  Speaker 6: It's ghosted because apparently three emojis and a heart reaction
• 24:02
  Speaker 6: counts as a conversation now.
• 24:04
  Speaker 7: Ew.
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: Hate it.
• 24:06
  Speaker 5: Hate it.
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: You know what?
• 24:07
  Speaker 8: Right?
• 24:07
  Speaker 5: I do hate it, but this is right.
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: I'm going to stop playing the game. I'm going to
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: start playing the woman.
• 24:11
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: All right. I've changed my strat here.
• 24:14
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 24:14
  Speaker 8: Okay.
• 24:15
  Speaker 5: He's emotionally unavailable.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: Ghosted.
• 24:19
  Speaker 6: Ghosted.
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: Haunted.
• 24:21
  Speaker 5: Angie gets it right. Ghosted, unless it's 1.30 in the morning.
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: Dang it.
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: That's a trick question.
• 24:30
  Speaker 5: He gives her the cold shoulder.
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: Haunted.
• 24:35
  Speaker 5: You're going haunted?
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: I watched The Sixth Sense last night.
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: I watched Casper the other day, and ghosts are pretty cool.
• 24:41
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: Temperature-wise.
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: Okay, okay.
• 24:43
  Speaker 5: Temperature-wise.
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: So I'm going to go, but he gives you the
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: cold shoulder. That means he's ignoring you. I'm thinking way
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: too hard about this. Let's do haunted.
• 24:51
  Speaker 5: You're going haunted.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: You're both right. The room drops.
• 24:55
  Speaker 5: 20 degrees whenever he appears.
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: It's very literal.
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: Good job.
• 25:00
  Speaker 5: He only comes around at night.
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: Haunted. Ghosted.
• 25:06
  Speaker 5: And the answer is ghosted. And always starts with, you up?
• 25:10
  Speaker 4: See?
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: I'm a woman who knows things.
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: It's crazy. I've never fired off one of those texts before.
• 25:17
  Speaker 5: A good liar. She feels someone watching her.
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: Haunted.
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: Dang it, you beat me to it. I don't want
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: to always pick the same answers, but I will also
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: go with haunted.
• 25:29
  Speaker 5: Ghosted.
• 25:30
  Speaker 6: He has viewed every Instagram though story for six months.
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: Dang it!
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: I like this.
• 25:37

• 26:05
  Speaker 1: So I'm the winner.
• 26:10
  Speaker 6: Okay, I love everything about this because I know, Angie,
• 26:15
  Speaker 6: you like Hallmark Christmas movies.
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: I'm a diehard. Are they good? No. But are they excellent?
• 26:21
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 26:21
  Speaker 5: Exactly.
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: All in the same.
• 26:23
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 26:24
  Speaker 6: And this is why this is so special and this
• 26:26
  Speaker 6: is so wonderful because it's kind of in our backyard.
• 26:29
  Speaker 5: The Midget Minnesota.
• 26:31
  Speaker 6: Is officially a Hallmark Christmastown.
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: Wait, what does this mean?
• 26:37
  Speaker 6: Okay, so they actually placed in the top 25 in
• 26:41
  Speaker 6: the Hallmark Channel's Merriest Christmastowns contest that they had.
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: This is amazing.
• 26:47
  Speaker 6: They were more than 1,500 submissions nationwide.
• 26:50
  Speaker 5: And, of course, there was voting that happened and everything else.
• 26:53
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 26:53
  Speaker 6: They just found out that they made the top 25,
• 26:56
  Speaker 6: and they have been stamped and recognized as an official
• 26:59
  Speaker 6: Hallmark Christmas town because of it, which is awesome.
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: Okay, so then what's the next step? How do we
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: get them to number one?
• 27:06
  Speaker 5: Well, they already have a number one. It was this
• 27:09
  Speaker 5: town called Carlinville, Illinois.
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: Oh, I thought we had to whittle it down.
• 27:12
  Speaker 5: No, unfortunately.
• 27:14
  Speaker 6: But the top 25... they still get the stamp or whatever.
• 27:17
  Speaker 6: And I think that's awesome, and it's great marketing, really,
• 27:20
  Speaker 6: at the end of the day. So Carlinville, Illinois took
• 27:23
  Speaker 6: the number one spot. So they are going to have
• 27:26
  Speaker 6: a Hallmark movie filmed there, which, okay, so now next
• 27:30
  Speaker 6: time this happens, we need to make sure that a
• 27:32
  Speaker 6: town close by happens, and.
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: We're voting the heck out of it.
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: Okay, well, no, no, no, this is fine. Why don't
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: we do our version? Let's go to Bemidji. Oh, yes,
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: we're doing this. And let's film our own FOMARC movie.
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: Christmas movie.
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: How do you get it to number one, Angie? You
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: vote in 2027.

  Speaker 2: Okay, you know what?
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: You shut your mouth when you're talking to me, Gabe.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: You've been on one with me today.
• 27:52
  Speaker 5: We are going to Bemidji. I'll help film this.
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: I love it.
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: Do you know what's kind of funny?
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: It would have been 10 years ago, Corey and I
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: visited Fargo for the first time.
• 28:04
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 28:04
  Speaker 8: And we.
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: I had to do some work in Detroit Lakes, and
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: then we were like, oh, let's go to Fargo.
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: I've always wanted to go. I've never been there.
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: And so we drove from Detroit Lakes to Fargo, and
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: there was like a light dusting of snow.
• 28:14
  Speaker 5: It was beautiful.
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: And we took a little photo under the Fargo movie
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: theater sign like everyone on Earth has ever done.
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: I love that sign.
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: Yes, great.
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: And I remember leaving downtown Fargo saying, you know, with
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: the light little, this looks like a place where they'd
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: film one of those Christmas movies you love so much.
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: So what the heck?
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: How about a little love for downtown Fargo for some
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: Hallmark movie Christmas time? Now, I am a Minnesotan, so
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: big shout out to Bemidji. Not hating on Bemidji. But
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: I think Fargo got a little bit gypped on this list.
• 28:42
  Speaker 5: Well, next time, we just got to vote more.
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: All right. Get your vote on in 2027, Angie. Sorry.
