  Speaker 2: I mean, everybody goes to the chiropractor, so he might

  Speaker 5: Did you just like describe my man?

  Speaker 4: Like that's Mikey.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: There was a lot of inspiration in this bit here
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: this morning on Big 98.7.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: Here's the fun thing. Angie is going to date the
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: dad and I'm going to date the son.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: One's got the old bull, the other's got the young cat.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: There is good news, though. You two would never really, like.
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: Oh, we're never fighting over it.
• 3:18
  Speaker 5: Ever.
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: No, we're good.

  Speaker 6: We're good there.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: All right, well, great news. Sons and fathers, go ahead
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: and give us a call at 701-280-1987. Celebrating life's little victories.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Every morning we practice gratitude on Big 98.7. If I could,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: I would keep this feeling in a plastic jar. Bust
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: it out whenever someone's acting hard. Share your little victories
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: with us at 701-280-1987. Kids, I also needed a win
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: that day. All right, Megan, do you have a little
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: victory for us?
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: So I'm hoping that I had a little victory anyway.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: So yesterday I was leaving the building because I was
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: on my way over to Sweet Shots to do a
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Facebook Live. there was a dog running around the parking
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: lot and it had like a collar on that had tags.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: And I was trying to get the dog and the
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: dog clearly wanted to come into our building.
• 4:10
  Speaker 6: It was like thirsty. And I was of course leaving.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: So I call our, one of our friends, I was like, Hey,
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: there's a dog running around. We need to get the
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: dog so that we can try to get it safely somewhere.
• 4:22
  Speaker 6: So I'm driving away. And as I'm driving, I see
• 4:24
  Speaker 6: the dog still running. The dog is running.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: And it's almost to like this four way stop close
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: to our building. And the dog is, It just keeps
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: running and running. So I finally called the Red River
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: Dispatch to let them know, hey, there's a dog that's
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: on the loose. And hopefully they found the dog and
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: the dog got reunited. So I feel like I kind
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: of did my good deed to try to save the
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: dog yesterday.
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: Yes, your little victory is that you're a good Samaritan.
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: And I love that.
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: And now this was a four-legged animal? This was a
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: four-legged animal. Okay, I didn't know if you were just
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: talking about a man, you know. That boy was thirsty.
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: You're so silly.
• 5:00
  Speaker 6: That dog needs to go to the pound.
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: That's right. Angie, do you have a little victory?
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: You know what?
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: Before I jump into mine, we got a text from
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: Crystal who said she hasn't been very active because she
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: was cramming for midterms, but she got straight A's on
• 5:17
  Speaker 5: her midterms.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: All right, girl.
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: Congrats.
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: That's a great victory. That's awesome.
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: I can't remember the last time I got straight A's
• 5:25
  Speaker 5: in school.
• 5:26
  Speaker 6: When was the last time you were in school?
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: I don't want to talk about it.
• 5:29
  Speaker 6: Don't worry about it then.
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: You got straight A's at some point?
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: I really did.
• 5:34
  Speaker 5: I used to, like, believe it or not, your girl
• 5:37
  Speaker 5: is smart, but I didn't always apply myself.
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: That was as I got into high school.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: I got an A in gym class, I think, and
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: that was about it.
• 5:46
  Speaker 5: I literally had to do summer school because I failed
• 5:48
  Speaker 5: gym class. That's a discussion for another day. Back to
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: little victories. My little victory is, you know, as Halloween
• 5:56
  Speaker 5: is getting closer, my mind is just all on spooky season.
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: And on Facebook, on Big 98.7's Facebook page, you can
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: actually see this.
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: I was thinking of.
• 6:05
  Speaker 5: Like stupid punny costumes that you could be. And so
• 6:11
  Speaker 5: the one that I came up with was, you know,
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: the phrase that people be using, clock it.
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: Clock It. So I drew Clock.
• 6:21
  Speaker 5: It as a costume, and it's Pennywise, you know, It,
• 6:25
  Speaker 5: with a clock around his neck.
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: He's very clever.
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: Clock It.
• 6:30
  Speaker 5: But the little victory is that I showed my 16-year-old
• 6:33
  Speaker 5: son this.
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: And he genuinely cracked up at it.
• 6:38
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 6:39
  Speaker 5: And when a teenager laughs at something you do, you
• 6:42
  Speaker 5: have to ride that high as long as you possibly can.
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: I felt so proud of myself. Like, my teenage son
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: thinks I'm funny? What? At least for a moment. Yeah,
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: at least for a moment.
• 6:55
  Speaker 5: I probably did something cringe immediately after. But for that moment,
• 6:59
  Speaker 5: I was a funny, cool mom. So I got to
• 7:01
  Speaker 5: take that win.
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: What about you, Gabe?
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: My little victory is I am the world's greatest father
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: that has ever existed.
• 7:09
  Speaker 6: Are you going up against all the other fathers right now?
• 7:12
  Speaker 6: I can't wait for this one.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: So we have our daughter who is getting over a cold.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: And I think last night it's like about to be done.
• 7:22
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: So she has had just a stuffy nose, you know,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: no temp that we that we could tell. And we've
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: checked and nothing terrible like that. But she's just had
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: this stuffy nose.
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: And we are.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry for having breakfast right now, but just sucking
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: out boogers left and right. And so we would lay
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: her down and she would just bawl, just yell all night.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: And so what I found out was we have this
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: like swingy chair kind of thing that goes left to
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: right and it's at a tiny bit of an incline.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: And I tried putting her in that and she stopped
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: crying and instantly fell asleep. And it's like, well, this
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: is great, but I can't leave you in this. You know,
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: you're not kids aren't supposed to sleep in those things.
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah. They can actually like die.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: So I sat up and watched and made sure she
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: didn't die all night on Wednesday night. And then I
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: had to tell Angie and Megan at about three in
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: the morning. Hey, guys, I've been asleep for like 20 minutes.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: There's zero chance I will be in today. I will
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: be home with my sick daughter. But the good news
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: is she slept basically the entire night, a lot of
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: the day, and then last night she went to bed
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: at 7.
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: No problems at all.
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: So I think.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: We are good to go.
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: Big 98.7.
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: Have you ever had a night where you just can't
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: fall asleep? A night, a week, a month?
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: I was going to say.
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: Maybe a life. Yeah, right.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: Well, there is a sleep doctor who shared a couple
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: interesting hacks. And this was the doctor's favorite one. It
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: was the 478 method.
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: Have you ever heard of this method?
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: No, what is it? I've already lost.
• 8:58
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: 478. It's where you breathe in for four seconds. You
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: two can try this for me right now.
• 9:05
  Speaker 6: I'm not trying to go to sleep right this second, though.
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah, that's actually a bad idea.
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: But then I could get the show I've always wanted. No,
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: you breathe in. She's sleeping women.
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: That's weird.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: You breathe in for four seconds. You hold for seven
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: and then out for eight.
• 9:21
  Speaker 6: Okay, so we're.
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: Doing like out for eight seconds.
• 9:23
  Speaker 6: So we're basically doing Pilates?
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: You got to do some type of calisthenics to fall asleep,
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: it sounds like.
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: Do I get abs, too, if I do this?
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: Well, this was their favorite one.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: They also say another hack is you can just tell
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: yourself to stay awake.
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: And you know what? I've been doing that for 35 years.
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: That does not work.
• 9:40
  Speaker 6: I am still awake.
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: Weird.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: That's the problem. Yeah, since trying to fall asleep is stressful.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: So that's kind of the thought behind this is, you know,
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: doing these breathing exercises. can calm you down or just
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: trying to stay awake.
• 9:53
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: I need to stay awake.
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: It's like the opposite effect could happen.
• 9:57
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 9:57
  Speaker 5: I know that I was trolling, but I feel like.
• 10:00
  Speaker 5: at this point I'll try anything. So I will try
• 10:02
  Speaker 5: this breathing method. There's another one that I heard where
• 10:05
  Speaker 5: when you close your eyes. in bed, you just like
• 10:08
  Speaker 5: act like you're trying to keep them open. So you
• 10:11
  Speaker 5: keep like blinking and then eventually it makes you tired.
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: And that also does not work.
• 10:19
  Speaker 6: That sounds like the child one where you're like fighting sleep.
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Um, yeah, I watched my daughter do that every
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: single night and it does not work.
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: You know what always works?
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: But I feel like because we're adults, it doesn't happen.
• 10:31
  Speaker 5: Remember as a kid falling asleep like in the car
• 10:35
  Speaker 5: or on the couch and then you magically wake up
• 10:38
  Speaker 5: in the morning in your bed? It's because your parents
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: picked you up and took you and they didn't disturb you.
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: Can somebody do that for me? Can I fall asleep
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: on the couch and, like, lift me up? Mikey can't
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: do it. Your girl's a little hefty. Like, who can
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: we hire?
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: Okay, seriously, if this happened to me as a single gal,
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: I'd be scared who's in my house.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: Or you teleported and that's cool.
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: 701-280-1987.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: Do you have a sleep hack that you think is
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: just fireproof? Do either of you actually have a hack
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: to fall asleep? Or is there some type of, I'll
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: use the word routine that helps you fall asleep?
• 11:18
  Speaker 6: Sleep tea? Chamomile tea?
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: Really?
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: Sleepy time tea sometimes helps.
• 11:23
  Speaker 6: But again, maybe like once, twice, and then it's done.
• 11:27
  Speaker 6: It's not going to do it again.
• 11:28
  Speaker 5: I feel like how are there still like, I'm an
• 11:30
  Speaker 5: expert in sleep as a doctor.
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: Find a better cure for us, please.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: Isn't America the most underslept country ever?
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: Probably.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: And the most stressed, I think, too.
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: We do have Angela on the phone. Angela, what's your
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: sleep hack?
• 11:46
  Speaker 7: I started listening to audiobooks at bedtime, and it's made
• 11:48
  Speaker 7: a huge difference. I put a book on I've already
• 11:51
  Speaker 7: heard before, so I'm not too interested in what happens next,
• 11:55
  Speaker 7: and usually I'm asleep within 20 minutes.
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: You know what?
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: There's a chance Angela is a fan of the Big 98.7
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Morning Show and has heard me talk about this a
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: thousand times.
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: That's true. That's the Gabe Glidden way.
• 12:05
  Speaker 5: He falls asleep to Harry Potter every single night.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: See, I couldn't do this because I would be invested.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: It doesn't matter how many times I heard that. I
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: can't have words. It would have to be like... meditation music.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: That's helped me for they have baby monitors that play that.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: You know they have apps on my phone that also
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: play that 701-280-1987 do you have a sleep hack let
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: us know this morning uh for three individuals who all
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: have sleeping issues within our own right Big 98.7.
• 12:39
  Speaker 9: This is Am I the Problem? We'll hear one side
• 12:47
  Speaker 9: of the story, and with your help, decide if it's
• 12:51
  Speaker 9: right or if maybe.
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: You're the problem.
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: That's right. I am the problem. On Big 98.7. Is
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: Eric being a bad brother and uncle? My sister has
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: three kids and every.
• 13:04
  Speaker 5: Time we do something as a family, I somehow end
• 13:07
  Speaker 5: up watching them. We went on a family vacation recently
• 13:11
  Speaker 5: and my sister and her husband just assumed I'd babysit
• 13:15
  Speaker 5: so they could go out to dinner. I told them
• 13:17
  Speaker 5: no because I wanted to enjoy my vacation too. She
• 13:21
  Speaker 5: got mad and said I was being selfish and that
• 13:25
  Speaker 5: I have no idea how hard it is to be
• 13:27
  Speaker 5: a parent. Now my parents are saying I should have
• 13:31
  Speaker 5: just helped out because that's what family does. I love
• 13:34
  Speaker 5: my nieces and nephew, but I'm not trying to be
• 13:38
  Speaker 5: the automatic babysitter every time we get together.
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: I didn't sign up to be a parent.
• 13:43
  Speaker 5: Am I the problem for refusing to watch my sister's
• 13:47
  Speaker 5: kids on our family vacation?
• 13:49
  Speaker 6: So she was expecting him to watch them the whole time?
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: I think just for the dinner.
• 13:53
  Speaker 5: I think, like, they wanted to go out to dinner,
• 13:56
  Speaker 5: and they were, like, assuming, okay, he'll just watch them.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: Okay, the assumption is what gets me, because I— Okay,
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: I don't have kids.
• 14:05
  Speaker 6: I'm an auntie.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: I have— I would— It would annoy me too, where
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: it's like, you need to respect, he's boundaries, right?
• 14:12
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: Like you need to respect me too. Like you should ask.
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: It's the assumption.
• 14:16
  Speaker 6: I don't think he's a problem. She should have asked.
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: Like, yeah, it's upsetting. But at the end of the day,
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: if you don't ask the question, you should not expect.
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 14:24
  Speaker 6: I feel, I feel.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: This.
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: What about you, Gabe?
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: You're smirking over here. That's what happens. I read what
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: our thoughtful.
• 14:33
  Speaker 5: Listeners send in. And you always have a little smirk
• 14:36
  Speaker 5: on your face. What are you thinking?
• 14:39
  Speaker 8: Well.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: Honestly, I want to start living my life a lot
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: more like these two parents who just will drop their
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: kids off for their uncle's house.
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: I can't stand that thought.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: So Kaylee comes to work here for like an hour
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: or 45 minutes or whatever, almost every day. And if
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: we're in the studio, I will still ask Angie or Megan, hey,
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: can you hold her real quick while I go to
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: the bathroom or I got to go get whatever. Could
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: you imagine if I just handed her to you and left?
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: Well, first of all, I would love that.
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: Exactly.
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: But I understand what you're, like, you shouldn't assume.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: I don't assume anybody's going to watch my kid ever.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: So I really want to start learning and living like
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: these two parents who just willy-nilly don't care about anything, clearly.
• 15:25
  Speaker 6: They just became your heroes.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so I actually, it's so disrespectful that I want
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: to start living like that.
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: Of course you do. What are your thoughts? 701-280-1987.
• 15:37
  Speaker 5: We also have this up on the Big 98.7 Facebook page.
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: I personally, I agree with you, Eric. Here's the thing.
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: I am someone who has kids.
• 15:49
  Speaker 5: And for a little bit of time, I was single
• 15:52
  Speaker 5: momming it. And I never did the thought occur to
• 15:57
  Speaker 5: me to just assume that my brother does not have kids.
• 16:02
  Speaker 5: And I would never just assume that he would just
• 16:04
  Speaker 5: like watch them for me. I think that is crazy work.
• 16:08
  Speaker 5: And one step further, I think it is a very
• 16:10
  Speaker 5: valid life choice.
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: To not have children. If you don't want to have children,
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: don't have children.
• 16:16
  Speaker 5: And then people who do have children, you have no
• 16:19
  Speaker 5: idea how hard it is to be a parent. Well, yeah,
• 16:21
  Speaker 5: because I chose to not become a parent.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: But also to do that, because you don't know if
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: they do want children and they haven't been able to
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: have children. So to throw that accusation to like, there's
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: so many things going on with a sister. As a sister,
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: I would never have dreamed of doing something like that
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: to my brother's.
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: I'm going to try this this weekend.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: I'm going to see my brother and sister this weekend.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: And my brother probably would do it. My sister's younger
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: than me, but she's meaner than I am. So I'm
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: going to give this a shot and see how well
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: that one goes over.
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: And I'll report back to you on Monday. Excellent.
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: Give us your thoughts.
• 16:57
  Speaker 6: What do you think?
• 16:57
  Speaker 8: 701-280-1987.
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: Chime on in.
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: And good morning. We do have Duaba on the phone.
• 17:10
  Speaker 5: He's not in the wrong.
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: I would never, ever assume to let somebody watch my kids.
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: That's ridiculous.
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: It makes an A out of you. I can't say
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: the bad word.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: It totally does.
• 17:21
  Speaker 5: It totally does.
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: My mother-in-law always said that.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: No, no, no, no. You don't, you don't, no.
• 17:26
  Speaker 7: You don't, no.
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: That's ridiculous.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: Exactly.
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: I love that. No is exactly the word no.
• 17:34
  Speaker 8: No, no, no.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: Duava, thank you for the call. We appreciate you this morning.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: What a great way to put it.
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: No, no.
• 17:39
  Speaker 5: No.
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: And then like four more no's.
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: Exactly. Eric does not have kids. His sister has kids.
• 17:47
  Speaker 5: And on a big family vacation, the sister and husband
• 17:50
  Speaker 5: just assumed that he would watch. the three kids so
• 17:53
  Speaker 5: they could go out to dinner. And he was like, no,
• 17:56
  Speaker 5: I'm trying to enjoy my vacation, too. So now his
• 17:58
  Speaker 5: whole family, like even his parents, is saying that he's
• 18:00
  Speaker 5: the problem for not wanting to watch the kiddos. Dua,
• 18:04
  Speaker 5: but obviously Team Eric.
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: Who thinks, yeah, you're not the problem. You shouldn't assume.
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: And I feel like all of us are kind of
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: in that boat.
• 18:14
  Speaker 6: The assumption.
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: I think I've 180'd.
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: It is so disrespectful that now I want to be
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: more like these parents. I want to live without worrying
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: about anybody else on planet Earth.
• 18:25
  Speaker 5: We did get a text from Karina and she said,
• 18:27
  Speaker 5: am I crazy?
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: Family is a different level.
• 18:31
  Speaker 5: There are some things you should be able to assume,
• 18:35
  Speaker 5: especially if you call yourself a good uncle. Megan, Gabe, Angie,
• 18:42
  Speaker 5: I can't believe you're supporting this.
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: I thought you were kinder than that. Hey, no, no.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: I did kind of say, I mean, I'm trolling, but
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: like I did kind of say I support it in
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: the fact that it's one of the most disrespectful things
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: I've ever heard in my life. And I want to
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: try to live more like that.
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: Karina, I don't think that this doesn't make us kind.
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: No.
• 19:06
  Speaker 5: I just think, I guess, I don't know. I just,
• 19:10
  Speaker 5: even if it's family, you know how they say like
• 19:13
  Speaker 5: you hurt the people you love the most.
• 19:14
  Speaker 8: Yes. Right.
• 19:15
  Speaker 5: And so I think there's always this like fine line of, Well,
• 19:18
  Speaker 5: they're family.
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: So you should just expect certain things.
• 19:21
  Speaker 5: But on the other hand, because they're family, shouldn't you
• 19:25
  Speaker 5: respect them more?
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: Exactly.
• 19:27
  Speaker 6: That's just it. It can go either way.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: And so it's just a matter of what side you're on.
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: But Amanda is on your side to Eric over on
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: her Facebook. She says not a jerk. Aunts and uncles
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: can and should babysit. But at a request, not an assumption.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: That's how I feel. Like, I am happy to watch
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: my nieces and nephews anytime.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: Like, I'm happy to see them. But at the same time,
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: you should just notice. Oh, hey, you're here.
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: Goodbye.
• 19:50
  Speaker 5: No, I think that's the thing, Eric. I think you
• 19:54
  Speaker 5: fire back to your parents. and your sister and say, hey,
• 19:58
  Speaker 5: the assumption is what made this a whole mess because
• 20:02
  Speaker 5: Big 98.7's listener said so.
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: And I want to know, were mom and dad there?
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: Why didn't grandma and grandpa watch the grandkids then?
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: That part.
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: You know what? I will say I lied.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: Maybe I have done a thing or two like this
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: where I've just been like, oh, hey, mom, by the way,
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: I got to go do this.
• 20:19
  Speaker 8: Which.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: She obviously I would ask ahead of time, but mom
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: always says yes. I think you should do what Chris suggested,
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: and that's just to make other plans and just the
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: nope out of there.
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: How Midwestern of you to nope out of there.
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: 701-280-1987.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: This is also up on Facebook. Do we have a
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: problem here or are like 98% of people agree that
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: you shouldn't just be assumed that you're going to be
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: babysitting your nieces and nephews?
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: Big 98.7.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: Is there a healthy habit that you actually like? You
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: wake up every day at 4, you hit that treadmill,
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: you get to the gym, or maybe you pour yourself
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: a cup of tea. This new study found nearly 500,000 people,
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: so a very big sample size. found that drinking tea
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: three or more times a week is linked to an
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: 11% lower risk of heart disease and stroke. What's one
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: of the worst diseases on earth? Heart disease. It's one
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: of the most common.
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: Oh, my gosh, Megan.
• 21:20
  Speaker 6: Look at you, girl. I am winning.
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: I've had tea every single morning this week. I just
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: had my cup this morning. I feel like I am
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: winning at life right now.
• 21:28
  Speaker 6: I am at the top of the world.
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: Look at you go.
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: Now, they did say black tea showed the strongest link.
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: Ha ha!
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: Gotta get specific over there.
• 21:37
  Speaker 6: I have green tea.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: Okay, well, that's still pretty good. They do recommend, though,
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: this is what's so funny to me. They do recommend
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: that you let it cool a little bit because if
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: you drink really hot tea, it actually increases your risk
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: of heart attack.
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: You know, I was winning at life.
• 21:53
  Speaker 6: Now I'm like going downhill.
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: Now, this is just like an observational study, so it's
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: not like some magic fix, but a nice.
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: Lukewarm to warm cup of tea.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: It's a pretty easy habit to include in your, you know,
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: daily or weekly routine, your weekly life. Do you have
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: a habit? That's healthy that you genuinely enjoy. 701-280-1987.
• 22:16
  Speaker 6: We just learned mine. I'm having tea and I'm doing
• 22:19
  Speaker 6: it right right now. So I'm living high.
• 22:21
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: I'm trying to think it's because adding the that you
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: enjoy is the hard part. You know what though?
• 22:28
  Speaker 5: I will say I take a lot of pride in
• 22:31
  Speaker 5: being a hydrated hottie. I always make sure to be hydrated.
• 22:36
  Speaker 5: I know that that's very healthy. I used to have
• 22:40
  Speaker 5: kidney stones.
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: Like All the time.
• 22:43
  Speaker 5: And one of the things that the doctor said is, like,
• 22:46
  Speaker 5: why are you not drinking more water? Like, that's a
• 22:49
  Speaker 5: very easy preventative step. So I haven't had kidney stones
• 22:53
  Speaker 5: in years now. And, yeah, I'm a hydrate. If I
• 22:56
  Speaker 5: were not hydrated, I'd look even worse.
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: But being hydrated, I know it's so good for your skin.
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: It keeps you, you know, going. Like, the body needs
• 23:06
  Speaker 4: water to live.
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 23:07
  Speaker 5: I don't know that I enjoy it, but I do
• 23:09
  Speaker 5: take pride in it.
• 23:11
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: Drinking a lot of water actually helps limit or, like,
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: lessen the smell of B.O., too.
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: Did you know that?
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: What?
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: I did not. Yeah, I learned that in school, and
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: the only reason I remember it is because there was
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: a rhyme with it that was, the more you drink,
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: the less you stink, which... They want to tell 17-year-old boys.
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: I'm sure, because, you know, dudes in high school are gross.
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: That is amazing. Oh, I'm stealing that.
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: I'm laughing, though, because that was not something I was
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: told in high school.
• 23:39
  Speaker 6: But boys being told that, that makes sense.
• 23:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly right.
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: We do have Kathy on the phone. Kathy, do you
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: have a healthy habit you genuinely enjoy?
• 23:47
  Speaker 8: I've started going on walks a lot and I really
• 23:50
  Speaker 8: enjoy it. I can walk for a couple miles and
• 23:53
  Speaker 8: just enjoy how my body and my mind feels after
• 23:56
  Speaker 8: the fact. And it's definitely really good for the body.
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, 1000%.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: That's one of the best things for your body just
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: in general, because it's low impact. It's good for your heart.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: You get to get out and, you know, get fresh air.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: What do the kids say? Touch grass.
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: Touch grass.
• 24:11
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I got well, I'm not touching grass, but I
• 24:14
  Speaker 5: did get a walking pad a few months ago. And so, yeah,
• 24:18
  Speaker 5: I do that and watch my shows. Watch my grown-up
• 24:21
  Speaker 5: shows downstairs while the kids are upstairs.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah. One of the habits that I have that I
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: think is pretty healthy is, you know, you ever hear
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: about how your snooze alarm is super bad for you
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: and it's terrible for your sleep and whatever? The best
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: healthy habit I have is I do not use a
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: snooze alarm ever, not once. in 2026 or 2025 so
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: this is kind of relatively new no snoozing for me
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: now that's great the bad news is when you have
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: a three month old at your house who maybe needs
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: to get woke up at 233 and you get up
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: to help there is no going back to sleep you
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: are just awake after so I guess there is a
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: plus and minus with that but I highly recommend getting
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: used to not using a snooze if you can do it.
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: It's pretty incredible. 701-280-1987, your healthy habit that you genuinely enjoy.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: Starting off the day with something good.
• 25:18
  Speaker 9: This is Gabe's Good News on Big 98.7.
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: And Gabe's Good News of the Day today is about
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: a phone call that we received here earlier on Big 98.7
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: from Christy, where her and someone very close to her
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: just donated over 200 bras for bras.
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: On Big 98.7.
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: I love this.
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: What an incredible number.
• 25:46
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: What a cool phone call to get.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 25:49
  Speaker 5: Christy called and let us know that her mom has
• 25:51
  Speaker 5: been collecting bras basically all year.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: For bras on Big 98.7.
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: And they just dropped them all off at Corwin. And
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: I think that's so awesome. I think she said the
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: number was like 255.
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: That is insane. And I love it. Of course, bras
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: on big in the final stretch.
• 26:09
  Speaker 5: So if you go to any Corwin location and drop
• 26:12
  Speaker 5: off bras, they are going to donate $ 10 per bra
• 26:16
  Speaker 5: to essential health foundation to help those going through cancer
• 26:19
  Speaker 5: with comfort items.
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: That's right.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: And then don't forget, if you are out and about
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: this weekend, who knows, maybe you're out watching.
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: The Bison game tomorrow at 9 p.m.
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: Don't forget to drink a McUltra Light or a McUltra
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: Zero as DS Beverages also in on donating for drinking those.
• 26:36
