Is It Weird to Delete Dead FB Friends? · Podcast - Big 98.7

0:00
When I say conversation landmine, you know what I'm talking about. Yeah,
0:04
a conversation you bring up in fireworks. Yeah, at any point in a
0:08
conversation could be going well, and then if you mentioned one of these quote
0:12
land mindes, it just blows up and it's over. Right. Usually you
0:16
try to avoid them at all costs, right, So these are the landmind's
0:19
husbands should avoid, Amanda. So you tell me if your husband were to
0:23
say any of these things, if it would just set you off, it'd
0:26
be worked up. So like you know, for example, your mother slash
0:30
sister slash friend is crazy if you were to say something like that, Yeah,
0:35
I guess it depends like in the context or where it's at, But
0:39
otherwise I might go, yeah, I know, I agree. It's always
0:42
a tricky line to walk when it comes to like your in laws, like
0:45
the family. Like for me anyway, it's like it's okay for me to
0:48
say certain things about my family or or you know what I mean, correct,
0:52
But when it gets to be other people like in laws, it gets
0:55
a little danna. I'm like, I don't like it, yeah, because
0:57
some people get offended worse from is like, oh my gosh, you who
1:00
are just like your mom. Some people be like wow, really, like
1:03
really are you going there? And it kind of depends on your situation,
1:07
so you wouldn't say it's a conversation land mine. Necessarily, it's not gonna
1:10
set me up. If Nick said, oh, your friend so and so
1:11
it's crazy, you probably agree. I'd probably start laughing and be like,
1:15
okay, and so is Dan your friend? What jeez, take it easy.
1:21
Dan has nothing to do with this. What about if somebody like a
1:25
husband said, if your husband brought up in the conversation, well, if
1:29
we a little more, yeah, that's gonna annoy me. Yeah, for
1:34
sure. Has he ever done that? The blains? I think, wow,
1:36
if we just you know, horsed around more. No, But it's
1:38
always like if it's been a little bit, it's gonna like, well it's
1:42
on you. Well it's on you, or you know kind of like well
1:44
I've been trying. Oh have you you know, right, when where was
1:48
this big We're making well with the with the two kids and the dog in
1:53
the bed, like, hey, we're making some good progress, Spike,
1:56
Yeah he made it. Update, we made it till three am without a
2:00
kid in bed? Oh? Really? Yeah? Oh I thought you were
2:02
gonna update this on your your interview, Like, yeah, care to share
2:06
it. We're fine. How many a week are we up to now?
2:09
It's fine? Okay, Oh you're so you're getting your one by one removing
2:13
family and animals from your bed, which is a big step. It's been
2:16
a huge process. Yeah, because they're always out. It's just like getting
2:21
them back in. And we've had so many people tell us lock the door
2:23
so they can't get in. I'm like, I'm also just a hey,
2:28
I'd rather just they're only gonna be little for so long and we get little
2:30
sleep anyway, come on it, I don't care, come on in.
2:34
Yeah, like yeah, no, no locking doors, Like then I have
2:38
to get up and unlock the door or they're gonna be screaming and crying where
2:40
it's like nothing wrong with them, just all of a sudden come on and
2:45
then they scare you for a second and then you just curl up and you
2:47
go right back to bed. Oh that's kind of cute. They wake you
2:49
up. Well, usually when Sydney comes down you hear this, she just
2:54
runs because she gets scared. Oh I know, it's super Well, that's
2:58
dark. That's just we have a little night lights. But anyway, all
3:00
right, one time time I got scared at night when I was a little
3:04
older. This was like I was not so much scared of monsters as I
3:07
was. I probably like watched an episode of America's Most Wanted or something and
3:12
solve mysteries. Yeah, I got a little scared and went downstairs, knocked
3:15
on my dad's door, and outof what was going on there was scarier than
3:20
any killer parked outside of the house walked into a real land mind. So
3:27
yeah, I just dealt with those things myself up in my room from then
3:29
on going forward, the number one conversation land mine. And this is just
3:31
the everyone always talks about it. Relax using the word relax in a conversation
3:37
with your spouse, yeah, or calm down, just anytime you try to
3:40
get me to turn it down a notge or to relax. It's just anything
3:45
like that. But the sentiment of the word is fine. It's just saying,
3:49
like, hey, let's speak about this like in a little calmer fashion,
3:52
let's genuinely relax. I just I just, yeah, I hate it
3:54
because if I ever say it, because it's the perfect word to describe what
3:59
I want you to do. But for whatever reason, those five letters together,
4:02
my wife just like the look on her face. It's like you would
4:05
think I just committed treason against our great nation. Come on, It's just
4:10
a word and can give it so much weight. Totally depends on the context
4:14
or how heated the conversation is. But yes, sometimes it's like making even
4:17
more upset for no reason. But it's do I need to pull up my
4:20
thesaurus and just find some synonyms for the word relax A good one. What
4:26
is a synonym of relax? Ease? Ease up? Ease up? Honey?
4:30
Loosen? Okay, start throwing a loosen around like a Manda in the
4:34
morning. No, Amanda stills. Let's see, let's see. Justin Timberlake
4:41
was on Saturday Night Live and he released another new song. So we'll talk
4:45
about selfish here in a second. But he released Sanctified. Listen a flock
4:51
of Flame. Oh no, you just can't get Walker out of here?
4:55
Sorry? Sorry, guys, are you getting is walka paying you today?
5:00
You ran in into the elevator and I when he's like, I need a
5:02
few spins on the radio. Do you think I hear your radio teach?
5:05
I'll buy you a drink at the bar. If you talk about me all
5:09
day on Monday, you got it? Waka, he must be streaming us
5:13
worldwide? Sure thing, mister flocka flame. Anyway, here's the new one
5:16
from Justin Timberlake. All do it sanctified that he performed on SNL correct,
5:20
you have mums Jay get a weirdness. Oh it's a jam. Yeah,
5:32
that's a jam. This is a groove like it's kind of just you know,
5:35
we got some soul in it. Yeah, it's a little different vibe
5:39
than what the other one was called. What the other one was called selfish?
5:43
And speaking of that, so this is what ended up happening over the
5:46
weekend. So Britney Spears fans are punishing Justin Timberlake because Brittany spilled a lot
5:50
of stuff in her book. Now, her song called Selfish was released in
5:54
twenty eleven, so thirteen years ago, and it is number one of the
5:58
charts right now. Justin Timberlake's version of Selfish, which is totally different,
6:02
is number three. It's so funny and okay, what are the odds?
6:05
First of all? And was that even a hit? Then? Is it
6:08
even a good song? You know? I need to listen to it.
6:11
I haven't yet, but last night Brittany did take to Instagram with a video
6:15
of Justin and Jimmy, and she captained it, I want to apologize for
6:18
some of the things I wrote about in my book. If I offended any
6:20
of the people I genuinely care about, I am deeply sorry. I also
6:26
wanted to say I'm in love with Justin Timberlake. And that's all I saw
6:30
and I went, oh, oh, I OK. Timberlake's new song Selfish.
6:34
She goes on to say it is so good and how come every time
6:38
I see Justin and Jimmy together I laugh so hard? PS sanctified is wow
6:43
with heart emoji two? Really? So this just hopefully puts it all like,
6:47
Hey, I'm good with it. I shared what I needed to share
6:51
because that's my story. Yeah, of course, yeah, nobody is mad
6:55
for her her for sharing that really, well, I guess that's not true.
6:59
Maybe some people rusify him of right now. You know what would really
7:01
just be quite the turn of events if her and Justin got together and did
7:05
a song, that would be awesome. You know who should also be on
7:09
the song? It's maybe guest for the third verse walk a flock of flames
7:15
you might be able to. Don't you think that would be good though?
7:19
Get together with it? Yeah, that'd be a real hit. And yesterday,
7:25
of course, we were talking about a Taylor Swift at the Chiefs game,
7:28
and there were fans freaking out because usually when you're like trying to find
7:30
a video, especially when you saw that she was out on the field,
7:34
and if you didn't get to watch the entire thing after the game because you
7:38
switched to the other one, you probably went to Twitter to type in her
7:41
name and that's where you get all the highlights. Yeah, well, people
7:43
were freaking out because x Taylor's or Twitter has now taken off Taylor Swift in
7:47
the search. And this is all after the AI generated images were released last
7:53
week of Taylor in very compromising situations. There were forty seven million views on
7:58
Twitter alone, so they decided to just completely suspend it all, which honestly,
8:03
I think that's all you can do at this point, you know,
8:05
and it seems it's unprecedented. I don't think I've ever seen them go to
8:09
this length to stop something from circulating. But when you're dealing with an animal
8:13
like Taylor Swift, that's what you gotta do? Did you like her up
8:18
here? What do you think of her the game? What do you mean
8:20
like her? Her look? You've been watching videos on morning? Was it
8:26
adorable for you? It was? I did. Like when she went up
8:30
to Trav and Trav said something like, what's up, sweetie? What's up?
8:33
You know? I mean, it's like just rewinding watching over many he's
8:37
greeting his girlfriend by saying what's up? Like that. It's been done before.
8:43
I know. I don't know why. It's just cute. It's so
8:48
cute because we're getting just as much as like they haven't been to that long,
8:52
but we're just getting little bits and pieces up at all. You know,
8:54
it's still bizarre to me that she's just hanging out. It was a
8:58
year ago I was in love with Mama Donna and the fact that the Eagles,
9:01
and that's when everybody started falling in love with the Kelsey brothers. Now
9:05
Here we are a year later, and now Taylor Swift is in the mix.
9:09
It's just wild. Everything you love is just all coming together. It's
9:11
like this world is catering itself to you. Now. All you would need
9:15
is for Walk of Flaga flame to get in the mix. Then we be
9:20
talking about take a mana in the morning. Seven. Well, man,
9:24
are you ready to rock and roll? Let's do it. It's time to
9:28
find out how weird we are. We know, generally probably pretty weird.
9:31
But if these specific instances, you tell us, is it weird or now
9:37
I'm an at ladies first? All right, it's a little uncomfortable. But
9:43
do you delete people from Facebook after they pass away? Thankfully not many of
9:48
my Facebook friends would. I don't know, you know, I guess not
9:52
on purpose, right, I don't seek it out. That's not like my
9:54
first reaction when I see somebody's past it's like, well sorry, audios.
10:00
But then there are some times you're maybe friends with somebody and you don't realize
10:03
that they passed away, and you'd hate to be the person to write I
10:07
don't know. And I noticed this the other day. This is why I
10:09
bring it up, is I'm friends with somebody who passed away, and I
10:11
didn't delete them as a friend on Facebook because you're just I don't know.
10:16
I'm not ready to. I don't feel like I need to, you know,
10:18
But I saw people wishing them a happy birthday, like happy birthday,
10:22
bro, hopefully you have a great day, and I'm thinking, did you
10:24
not get the memo or because usually you're supposed to put happy heavenly birthday super
10:31
uncomfortable, Like, for instance, my mom she passed away and now she
10:33
has a thing I was like remembering, Yeah, yeah, it turns out
10:37
like a memorial page, right correct. But with that being said, there
10:41
are times people like tag her in things and I'm like, what why are
10:43
we doing this? It's so weird and it's uncomfortable, and like do you
10:48
just on from them? You know, it's kind of heartbreaking because some people
10:50
you'll see like well they'll write on their wall, you know, randomly thinking
10:54
you know, it's just really sad. But no, Amanda, to answer
10:58
your question, I try not to dele the people have passed away. I
11:01
mean obviously I do. I don't know a lot of times, no,
11:03
I don't know. We're in a unique situation of just you know, being
11:05
a radio person, we have a lot of Facebook friends who we don't know
11:09
necessarily, where if you just only have people you know and love, I'm
11:13
guessing you probably don't delete them, you keep them as a friend. Yeah,
11:16
exactly. Being a Manda Lee a big said no, you know,
11:20
you gotta have you gotta make a room because they only let you have so
11:22
many friends. But I just wonder if other people do that, if it's
11:26
like, okay, you weren't super super close or whatever. I don't know
11:28
it's comfortable, but I'm going to go you're a certified weirdo. Okay,
11:33
okay, thank you, all right? A man in my turn? Is
11:33
it weird that when I go on trips vacations on the road, I give
11:39
myself a little treat in the form of not brushing my teeth before bed.
11:45
It's sort of like a little getaway from the everyday hygiene requirements. No,
11:48
I'll brush them in the morning, but going to bed, Like Lauren always
11:52
on trips and stuff, she's brushing our teeth before bed, I'm like,
11:54
take the night off. You know. Sometimes I do forego that if i'm
11:58
you know, if you're in bed and you're like, for instance, if
12:01
I'm having like a glass of wine or something and I fall asleep, I'm
12:03
like, oh, okay, probably should have got up and brushed my teeth.
12:07
But that's like the first thing I do when I wake up. I
12:09
know it's not a good habit to get into but of course not. But
12:11
at the end of the day, in the long run, is it gonna
12:13
make a bit of a difference. I love though, the way you are.
12:16
You're phrasing this like you've packaged it like I'm going on vacation. Yeah,
12:20
I don't have to right brush my see like or it's like similar to
12:24
throwing a hat on in the morning. And I know, I guess you
12:26
wear hats sometimes, don't you. Sometimes three times you feel like you kind
12:31
of you just had a hard time lately, or you did something really stressful
12:33
the day before. It's like, I'm gonna treat myself by wearing a hat
12:37
today. This is weird that you like get excited and this is a thing
12:43
for that now adding a sweatshirt like just a lazy hoodie. If you're looking
12:46
at me on a big ninety of points of live Facebook feed, you can
12:50
tell I've really treated myself today to the ultimate laziness. The worst, though,
12:54
is when you throw together a look where you were in a hat and
12:56
you're putting on you know, you throw on a sweatch and people like,
12:58
oh my gosh, you looks so cy you today, I'm thinking, why
13:01
do I even try? If this is the vibe that you're okay with Yeah,
13:05
I will do this every day. Right. Well, it's like if
13:07
you got kids and you know, you're making meals and stuff and you make
13:09
like something you think is super delicious and you put a lot of work into
13:13
it, and they're just kind of like man, oh every night. Yeah,
13:15
and then you make hot dogs, like, Mommy, what's the recipe?
13:18
This is delicious. It's kind of like that. I'm kind of dressed
13:22
like the hot dog today, Amanda in the morning on SIG seven. Well,
13:28
Amanda, you know you got young kids probably entering the sleepover phase of
13:31
childhood. Right. We were just talking about that. We've never had a
13:35
sleepover, and my daughter she's about to be five, and we were kind
13:39
of talking about that. We're like, gosh, maybe we should have her
13:41
have that experience. There's a new thing, a new trend, Amanda,
13:43
that you know you'll probably experiences with your kids that you know, you maybe
13:46
don't want them to be sleeping over at somebody's place, and also they might
13:50
not want it. It can be stressful for young kIPS totally, yeah,
13:52
or they think they want to and then they get homesick. I mean,
13:56
everybody goes through those stages. Absolutely, it was a week. You're just
14:00
thing. I remember the same thing as a kid, like getting so excited
14:03
you're going to sleep over your friend's house, and then it just switches.
14:07
Suddenly you're there and you're like, oh my god, I want to be
14:09
home. Yeah, you're rying. Your parents have to come pick you up
14:11
in the middle of the night. It's humiliating. Well not to fear man.
14:16
There's a new trend that psychologists have concocted. It's a brilliant, a
14:20
brilliant, really idea. It took years and years of scientific research and studying
14:26
to develop this new trend demanded that they're calling sleep unders. It's where you
14:33
pick the kid up before bed, so set asleep over. You just pick
14:41
them up, psychologists have deemed the news. Can we not call it a
14:46
sleep under? I don't know why. I don't know why. I'm not
14:48
a fan of that name, but it's making me a little uncomfortable. And
14:54
hey, I can't imagine Sidney Lewin or Briggs coming over mom. Can we
14:58
go over it? It was easy for a little sleep under. I don't
15:03
know about that. You know, you're right, Amanda. They spent so
15:05
much time researching the theory of the whole thing. They got a little hasty
15:07
when it came to name again, they just let's just go with this sleep
15:11
under it. But I do I do like that, yes, or like
15:15
for us, we have a lot of neighbor kids in our area to where
15:18
if we were to probably do our first sleepover, it's within reason. You
15:22
know, I'm not going to send her somewhere that she's not you know,
15:24
even with grandparents and stuff like that. They get anxious and they struggle with
15:28
that, you know, even when they are home and we're not there.
15:31
Yeah, yeah, something about it. It's just stressful. So you know,
15:35
maybe try using the sleep under method for a while, really, just
15:37
see how they see how they do with it, because you know, eventually
15:41
it can be the best thing. Sleepovers. When I was a kid,
15:43
do you remember like that feeling of getting the permission from your parent to sleep
15:46
over to friend's house. Oh, they were the best, the best.
15:50
Even as an adult, like I kind of miss not having sleepovers really,
15:54
yeah, like what, I'll still do it everyone. It's more so just
15:56
passing out on your friend's couch. But that's sort of an adult sleep and
16:00
I don't mind when it was like you and another girlfriend or like something like
16:03
that, maybe three people. But when it was a big sleepover, did
16:07
you ever go to those? Oh yeah, there was always somebody left out
16:11
the mean situation. Yes, it was always brutal. Why I don't know,
16:17
Like, why were we so mean? He just had it was just
16:19
every man for himself. He just had to make sure it wasn't you.
16:22
Hyeah. It's just awful. I hate that feeling, like it actually takes
16:26
me back. I'm like, oh, you think you're todded. Sydney will
16:29
be the one I hope not. Oh gosh, well, I mean either
16:33
side, what would you rather have her getting picked on or her doing the
16:36
picking on? Right? No, and you're bound to probably go through all
16:38
those stages, which I think also just make you who you are. You
16:42
have those struggles, but not easy for a parent. No, just just
16:47
sleep under for now. Just try that. She did just get invited to
16:49
her first birthday party. I got a text message because sometimes you get them,
16:52
and I'm like, oh, we're we're in this stage because she's never
16:56
had really a big birthday party anything like that, and now she has like
17:00
your own friends. Yes, because for the first however, many years your
17:03
friends are just your parents' friends, kids or whatever, you know, totally
17:07
not really your choosing. Yeah, she's like, oh so, and so
17:11
I'm like, who's that? Tell me more about their parents? Like trending
17:18
now what you need to know? Oh boy, if you're a Lions fan,
17:22
I felt for you. The forty nine ers were down by seventeen points
17:26
in the half and they made a comeback against the Lions. They're now going
17:30
to be taken on the Chiefs for the Super Bowl. Of course, everybody
17:33
side the Chiefs and Taylor Swift. That's really before we get into the headline
17:37
of the whole thing. Well, Taylor Swift's attendance to the game, of
17:40
course, I would like to point it's kind of shocking to me that it
17:42
was that close of a game with the Lions because the Packers, I remember
17:45
not long ago destroyed the Lions and oh yeah, then the next week they
17:48
destroyed the Kansas City Chiefs. So it's just like just to put in a
17:52
perspective, and then it was just like a down spiral for him. After
17:53
that's enough, you I brought it up. I want any of the games.
17:59
This is all news to me, so Okay, was Taylor Swift there?
18:03
Amanda she was? She was there. She went down onto the field,
18:06
which I guess surprised. I think a lot of people, me included.
18:08
I just didn't expect for her to be right there all of a sudden.
18:12
Map. Yeah, you know, your famous. When it's shocking to
18:15
see you among among the village. What's that doing in the town square?
18:19
She was kissing Travis Kelce. The whole family was there. Was super cute.
18:23
But now everybody's wondering, at least except for the dad's brads and chads.
18:26
They are not excited about it. But will she be at the super
18:30
Bowl? So next week she has the Grammys. Some people think that Travis
18:33
Kelce may gat tend the Grammys with her. I don't know about that,
18:37
but I do know that her tour kicks off in Tokyo February seventh through the
18:41
tenth. Now, her concert ends at eleven pm on Saturday night February tenth,
18:45
which is six am Saturday morning in Vegas. So since she has a
18:48
private jet, she could be in Vegas plenty of time to be there for
18:52
the three thirty kickoff. I think she will, I really do. Is
18:55
there a chance that she pulls at Jonas Brothers and just cancels the concert.
19:00
You don't think so. She's got a lot of fans. Does she really
19:02
need Tokyo the biggest city in the world. I don't know. Wouldn't that
19:07
be something, though? I think I think she'll just make it work,
19:11
you know, I yeah, that'd be crazy. I mean, I mean,
19:15
you've been in every game. You're not gonna be at the super Bowl.
19:18
Taylor Swift will make her appearance. Well, you know me, I
19:21
drove all the way here from Iowa last night just to get here for this
19:25
radio show. So if I could make that work, I bet she could
19:26
make it happen. Really appreciated. What time did you roll into town last
19:30
night? Pulled in the West Fargo at three am? Oh so this morning,
19:33
not four hours ago? Yeah, it was pretty awesome. Good morning,
19:37
sunshine, yep, good to be here. Everybody is thankful that you
19:41
made it in today. By the way, I'd like to get a text
19:42
maybe saying so, but all right. A snowboarder spent fifteen hours stuck in
19:47
a ski gondola. She was at Lake Tahoe skiing, and she said she
19:52
was too tired to ride down the mountain, so she took the lyft Thursday
19:55
afternoon. Unfortunately the lyfts stopped. Wait, she was taking the gondola down.
20:00
Are you saying she was too tired? So she took she took the
20:03
lift, lazy bones. Yeah, she just she was she was how to
20:07
run ski? You're there to ski down the hill, right, yeah,
20:10
but she was tired. You can just kind of roll, I mean,
20:15
really, that's the easiest part. But okay, that's not true. Are
20:18
you kidding me? I've had to be rescued from the skiers down. Yes,
20:22
oh my gosh, yes, yeah, it as easy as you think.
20:26
I was good with the greens and then I made it to the blues
20:29
and I remember, it was not a good situation to the bunny Hill lady.
20:33
So she got stuck anywhere. Yeah, so she said she lost her
20:37
voice. She was screaming desperately. Overnight temperatures reach about twenty three degrees.
20:41
Thankfully, Friday morning, the lift started up again. They found her.
20:45
She declined to go to the hospital. The ski resort is investigating the incident.
20:48
But yeah, so scary, and those gondolas if it's just a normal
20:52
ski left, like I'm imagining where It's crazy to me. They don't have
20:55
any sort of rail or buckle or nothing that gives me so much anxiety.
21:00
I mean, they make show like every vehicle you gotta have a buckle up
21:03
to the mask ringe thinking about it. Now that they make them more,
21:06
they're more of the gondola situation, like, okay, this is doable.
21:08
At least I'm enclosed in you this tiny little bench one hundred feet above the
21:15
ground, and then you have skis so you're tangling. I remember being little
21:18
and this was kind of one of those same things when we lived in Colorado.
21:22
Ride go and visit like, okay at any giving point. I mean
21:25
I remember just holding on for dear life. And then you get up there
21:29
and it comes so fast, and then you get anxious and then you fall.
21:33
Oh gosh, I know. Well, this is why I stay in
21:36
the chalet and drink wine. All right. The City of Fargo is now
21:40
accepting student art submissions for the Matt Bus, so you could design what is
21:45
going to be on the bus, taking our ugly faces off of there.
21:48
I think we're on the back of a bus and morehead still, I don't
21:52
know. Kids, Well, I'm glad they'll be replacing that with some art.
21:56
So here's what's going on. They are looking for middle and high school
21:59
kids in the area. I guess the winner will get five hundred dollars and
22:03
then you're eligible to be able to design the Matt bus for one year.
22:07
Runner up is three hundred dollars. Third place is two hundred dollars. But
22:10
then everybody who submits they're going to have a display at the Fargo City Haul
22:14
in the spring, which would be really cool. That's so cool. What
22:15
would you design? Well, I'm thinking back to some of my best art
22:19
pieces in high school in junior high, most of which I got detention for.
22:22
So did you Yeah, I don't think that. I don't think they'd
22:25
be putting any of that on the bus. I had to draw a bird
22:29
I think it was seventh grade, Yeah, and I could not do it,
22:32
and I ended up in summer school for like a week because I had
22:34
to go back in and do it. I finished the bird. Yes,
22:37
it was awful. That seems ridiculous, I know it doesn't. I feel
22:40
like there's more to this tale. There is. I feel like there was
22:44
something else going on. But okay, there were really summer school because you
22:52
couldn't draw a bird. It was art class. I'm not good at art.
22:59
I put I turn in some pretty low effort projects in high school and
23:02
I never had to go to summer school. All right, your Greek curriculum
23:07
for art was really hot, like amna in the morning. Come on,
23:11
get up on big. When you get into arguments, a lot of times
23:15
it doesn't really have to be like a very serious, like heavy topic political.
23:19
Sometimes the dumbest things can turn into really just ridiculous arguments, especially when
23:26
you have my good friend alcohol involved. Yeah, that's gonna get you.
23:30
So this weekend I was in Iowa. I spent a quick weekend in Iowa.
23:33
And I know, I know what they say, if you're gonna go
23:34
to Iowa, you gotta do at least a week to get your money.
23:38
I believe you were only there for two days. How did you do it?
23:41
But nonetheless, I made a quick trip to Cedar Rapids, Iowa,
23:45
to you know, sell some merchandise at a high school wrestling tournament from my
23:49
friend's company, Three Time Gears. So nice little side huse just you know,
23:53
amn, you know, me trying to put food on the table for
23:56
the good job. And so my friend, Taylor and I were there and
24:00
him and I've been friends forever, you know, he's like the best man
24:02
in my wedding, and so over the years we've had some arguments, of
24:04
course, like friends do. But Amanda, We're at the hotel and as
24:07
I'm in the room, Taylor went to go get something or something, so
24:11
he had to ride the elevator himself. And he comes to the room and
24:14
he opens the door and goes, You're not going to guess who I just
24:15
saw in Iowa? And I go, well, who? He goes,
24:19
Walk a flock of Flame, the rapper you know, you know, walk
24:23
of Flaka. You've never heard of. All that's going through my mind right
24:27
now. I was like, walk a Waka waka from the Muppets, from
24:30
the Muppets, similar, No, walk a Flock of Flame. He's had
24:33
some hits over the last fifteen years, Like in college, he was big
24:37
for us. You get the idea. Sorry, I think what is really
24:42
concerning to me is what is waka waka doing in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
24:49
That's what I thought. And so I said, no, you didn't,
24:52
you did not see walk a Flock of Flame? And he's like, no,
24:56
dude. I was in the elevator with him, and then I looked
24:59
it up on my phone and that's him. I'm like, okay, oh
25:02
yeah, you called it up and you did a side by side. You
25:03
didn't say like, hey, Waka, Well why wouldn't you say? I
25:08
don't think you want to just be going to people who look like rappers and
25:11
be like, hey, are you so in so famous rapper? So we
25:17
go to the bar, and he wanted to go there because he thought Waka
25:19
might be there at the bar in the hotel. Okay, so we go
25:22
up there and then I and this is you know, after a few beers,
25:26
of course, ask the staff. I said, hey, is walk
25:29
a flock of flame here? And now my friend Taylor is very upset that
25:34
I that I brought it up because he don't want to make a scene about
25:37
it. You know, walk a flock of flame a man is like a
25:41
deer in the woods. You need to approach gently otherwise you're gonna scare it
25:45
away. So my friend's now very upset with me, and to the point
25:48
where we're like arguing. We leave the bar, we get to the room
25:51
and we're just going back and forth. And so before this gets any worse,
25:56
I'm gonna go to bed, let's sleep, Let's talk about it tomorrow.
25:57
I got a feeling we're gonna a little differently about it. We wake
26:00
up the next day, it's all awkward. You know, sorry about the
26:03
whole fight last night over Waka over walka flocka Flame? Well, then guess
26:08
what, Amanda, to top it all off, we look it up.
26:11
Guess who played a show at a college in theater Rapids, Iowa the night
26:15
before he did your guy walk a Flock of Flame? Oh? I love
26:21
that you guys were really getting mad at each other. Oh, it's a
26:23
very serious, serious conversation. I got a feeling you're gonna be listening to
26:27
some Walk of Flaka today, aren't you a big fan? Big fan?
26:32
You like it a Manda in the morning, big nutty eight point seven.
26:34
You know what I also like doing? Breaking societal norms? Yeah? Wow,
26:40
coming in here? Are a real savage this morning part totally. I
26:44
mean, can we talk about Valentine's date? Because you know, you're starting
26:45
to see more and more headlines as we're a couple of weeks out from the
26:48
big love Day. Yeah, you know, there's so many lies surrounding this
26:52
made up holiday, Dad, Jazz, I just want what For example,
26:55
Amanda, the things that we say to each other, these really like inflated
26:59
face fanny statements. And you know it starts when you're a kid and you
27:02
get those little hearts, the little Valentine's you get your classmates, which was
27:07
always weird already. It's like it's a love holiday and we're getting all the
27:11
kids in your class little I Love you cards. Unless there was a kid
27:14
who really did like and you got them a special something, Oh yeah,
27:17
you know what, you'd go through and make sure like this is the one
27:19
that is perfect for this person. Absolutely, yes, I got this in
27:23
like, you know, third fourth grade or something. I got a girl
27:26
that some earrings, the fakers earrings you ever saw in the world, Yeah,
27:30
third and fourth grade. Yeah, just a little don Juan, huh
27:33
Yeah, let me tell you they only work out for me, Amanda.
27:37
Well, here's the lies that we tell each other on Valentine's Dave. You
27:40
know, things like you're my one and only true love forever. Well,
27:44
it reminds me of little rascals. Another lie, Amanda, you're gonna hear
27:47
on Valentine's Day, people say that you take my breath away, Like truly,
27:52
I will say, there has been one time where my breath was sucked
27:55
out of my lungs. Did I tell you when I met Taylor Swift?
27:56
This was years ago, but a lot of years ago, early in her
28:00
career, and I was so in love that when I met her, it
28:03
was just the nerves and then just you know, sheer him out of love
28:06
in my heart, I couldn't breathe. I thought I was going to go
28:10
into cardiac arrest. Were you just nervous? Well, obviously, and I
28:15
didn't want to say the wrong so I don't think I said a word.
28:17
She sat there and she's like, oh, Hi, it's good to meet
28:18
you, and she's like making you feel like she's the one excited to meet
28:22
you. And I was just like, you didn't say a word right in
28:26
the face. It was pathetic, But anyway, but in any other instance,
28:30
I mean, would you really ever have your breath taken away? I
28:33
don't think so. One of the guys that I met that I just was
28:37
giddy for, like just smitten, was Darius Rucker. Were you there for
28:41
that instance where it was just unbelievable, Like I just looked. I had
28:45
the biggest smile on my face and he just kind of looks at me,
28:48
like, get this weirdo away from me right now. It was hilarious.
28:52
Well, you had a crush on Darius Rucker did love Darius? I know
28:56
he's the man. Great music and yeah who who stuff was incredible, But
29:00
okay, I had no idea also a man. Another lie you're gonna hear
29:03
in Valentine's Day my heart belongs to you now and always. This is sort
29:07
of depressing, but I mean in a literal sense. I suppose that's a
29:11
lie, right because your heart belongs to yourself and nobody else is really gonna
29:15
get that. But right in my chest, that's where that boy goes.
29:18
You're my forever love. Another lie we tell each other on Valentine's Day.
29:22
I mean in some cases, yes, of course. I mean down the
29:26
road maybe, But when you're young and handing out Valentine's it's a little aggressive.
29:30
Yeah, well you're just a little scarred still from your Valentine's Day mishap.
29:34
Which one the one one where the boy gave me the jewelry or the
29:40
one where I had a tampon box as my Valentine. I do love the
29:42
one where you bring the tampon box to class as your Valentine's Day box.
29:45
But what happened with the boy? The boy who gave me Ryan Davis gave
29:49
me a necklace. It reminds me of a young me, this Ryan Davis.
29:53
It was just the sweetest and I opened it in front of my girlfriends
29:56
and didn't know what it said. We're like, this is so dumb,
30:00
like it was just like it looks like it was written in like Japanese.
30:03
It just had like sick like letters and stuff. Was this an arrow where
30:07
people are getting like Shinese symbols on tattoo? You're really sure? And then
30:11
at recess he's like, did you like it? And he came over and
30:15
he grabbed it and he started spinning it. You could spin the necklace and
30:18
it said XO axo axel And I felt so bad because I had already basically
30:23
told everybody, oh, my gosh, is just so mean. Mean girl
30:27
totally can see that r D. My guy Ryan just gets heart ripped out
30:32
of his chest. I know, did he ever recover? Do we know
30:33
what he's up to? I think he's probably doing just fine. I will
30:37
check the jail us like it a minute in the morning on Big Nutty eight
30:42
points seven. Let this be a little lesson to everybody out there. Okay,
30:47
this is an incredible tale. But woman named Lou, Amanda elderly woman
30:51
Lou, cute name like it, long, full life, and when it
30:55
came time for her life to unfortunately end, she had a last minute change
31:00
of heart when it came to her will. Okay. So she had the
31:03
will in place, and she's got three kids, Okay, So the plan
31:07
was to leave everything to the three kids, of course, and Lou,
31:11
through some sound investments and hard work through her life, had accumulated two point
31:15
eight million dollars of that worth. Wow, Mama Lou working hard for that
31:21
money. Yeah. So even splitting that three ways for the young kids,
31:25
that's still a pretty good chunk of change for them. Well. Absolutely,
31:27
Holy smoke. Here's the sad part, Amanda. All three kids in the
31:32
latter part of Lou's life, no calls, weren't there to help, didn't
31:37
do really anything to take care of Mama Lou. Do we know how Mama
31:41
Lou passed? No, I don't know. I think she just died in
31:45
the nursing home. Gosh, that's really sad. Though she decided a manded
31:48
the end of her life that you know what, these spoiled rodden kids didn't
31:52
do anything for me. Why would I leave it to them when the only
31:55
person that was there for me at the end of my life that comforted me
31:59
was my dog. And so she changed it a will that all two point
32:01
eight million dollars would be left to the dog. And this is the best
32:06
platoph You're thinking, Okay, well, two point million dollars, You're never
32:08
gonna need that much money to take care of a dog, But she wrote
32:12
in there that any offspring of the dog, so pretty much, however many
32:15
offspring these dogs have to have the two point eight million is only going to
32:20
take care of them the only person that was there to comfort her at the
32:22
end of her life. Do we know the dog's name or any information on
32:25
the dog, how old the dog is? Is the dog gonna pass away
32:29
anytime soon? Because then what happened if I probably in the next ten to
32:32
fifteen years, but even then, I mean two point eight million dollars in
32:37
I know this is going to shock you, but the dog can't spend the
32:40
money. The dog can't take it the money to the bank. The dog
32:45
can't do withdrawals, go to the steakhouse and get a damn stead. Now,
32:50
somebodys have to do it for the dog. So can the kids argue
32:52
this and say, oh, Mama, Lou, you know, wasn't she
32:57
was not in a right mind? Right? I don't know, because I
33:00
mean, truly, they don't deserve it, right, I mean that alone,
33:02
it's a slap in the face. You know, you did your mom
33:05
wrong if that's what happened. Yeah, and who knows, I mean,
33:07
we don't know the whole story. Maybe Lou sucked, who knows, you
33:12
know. Nonetheless, it's her two point oh mill and she can do what
33:15
she wants with it. Oh but maybe they were just they knew they were
33:17
getting that money. Just spoiled rotten brats thinking like, oh, no,
33:21
big deal, whatever. I'm just picturing what's that show? And I haven't
33:23
watched it, but it sounds like a succession. Have you watched that?
33:27
Oh? I have? Yeah? Is it similar like Spoiled Kids yadayana kind
33:30
of Yeah? People doing dirty things? Yeah? Is it a good Is
33:34
it a good show? Should I watch it? No? Everybody said it
33:37
was fantastic. So my husband and I tuned in and it was the slowest.
33:40
We didn't even finish it. We just couldn't get into it. It
33:44
was so weird. I don't know why. It wasn't terrible, It just
33:45
was you just keep waiting and waiting and waiting for something to happen. Does
33:50
somebody die in the first episode? Nope, I can see that, And
33:52
that's just it. You're waiting for somebody to die this whole time, and
33:55
spoiler, and I think somebody eventually does. We just never got to that
33:59
point. Sure, sure, but you know you got to really get right
34:00
to it. You know, there wasn't a dog involved in this situation.
34:04
I'm going to need a death, much like we unfortunately lost Lou. I'm
34:07
going to need somebody to dine that first episode otherwise I can't get hooked.
34:10
Doesn't get you love a good TV death, not real deaths. Hate those.
34:15
Thank you for clarify. I really appreciate that. I'm really I've been
34:19
really anti death. You could say
