0:06
Speaker 1: I am with a man child, I think, and I.
0:09
Speaker 2: Want to get you so you're all just dating the
0:11
Speaker 2: same guy, huh.
0:13
Speaker 1: I want to get your advice on something. The other day, Mikey,
0:17
Speaker 1: who is sixty years old by the way, he took
0:20
Speaker 1: a shower, only grown a doll. He took a shower
0:24
Speaker 1: and then I saw him reach to put on a
0:26
Speaker 1: crew neck sweatshirt that I had been seeing him wear
0:30
Speaker 1: for like four days. And I just know what this
0:35
Speaker 1: man is like how he sweats and things and whatever.
0:39
Speaker 1: And I looked at him and I said, are you
0:41
Speaker 1: going to put that sweatshirt back on?
0:43
Speaker 2: You just showered and he said, uh yeah, And I said,
0:48
Speaker 2: that is gross.
0:49
Speaker 1: You've been wearing it, You've been outside, You've done something
0:52
Speaker 1: like it is gross.
0:53
Speaker 2: What are you doing? No, you can't wear that?
0:56
Speaker 1: And he looks at me and very earnestly says, I'm
0:59
Speaker 1: a boy.
1:00
Speaker 2: Yeah, checks out to me.
1:03
Speaker 1: Okay, this is what I wanted to ask you, Like,
1:05
Speaker 1: is it Mikey specific or like, do you guys just
1:09
Speaker 1: never grow out of some of these things? Because I
1:11
Speaker 1: am in a house of just boys, Mikey guy, my
1:15
Speaker 1: two children boys, I'm a boy mom, So gave you
1:19
Speaker 1: the other boy.
1:20
Speaker 2: Man in my life.
1:22
Speaker 1: So I need to ask you, like, do you guys
1:24
Speaker 1: ever grow out of thinking that your laundry is clean
1:28
Speaker 1: for longer than it is or like this is just
1:30
Speaker 1: to be expected.
1:31
Speaker 2: No, that's just for life. It might evolve, okay, and
1:35
Speaker 2: instead of, you know, maybe get way worse.
1:38
Speaker 3: No.
1:38
Speaker 2: Usually, usually it'll evolve for the better, especially you know,
1:42
Speaker 2: when the ladies get introduced. That's what it's actually, it's
1:45
Speaker 2: almost like a bell curve, right, okay, So you work
1:47
Speaker 2: your way up to where you get to a point
1:49
Speaker 2: where there's really no ladies involved, right, and then maybe
1:52
Speaker 2: start thinking the girls cute, and then you're almost changing
1:54
Speaker 2: clothes too much and washing too much clothes. And then
1:57
Speaker 2: you get to the point where you know, potentially meet
2:00
Speaker 2: someone and you're with them for a while, and then
2:02
Speaker 2: you fall right back down to where you were before
2:04
Speaker 2: because you couldn't care less. That's how it just goes behavior,
2:10
Speaker 2: and then it falls right back down to oh, all right,
2:12
Speaker 2: this lady likes me, who cares?
2:14
Speaker 1: Well, I guess I'm glad he's comfortable. What about wiping
2:17
Speaker 1: your hands on your clothes? This is my constant battle
2:19
Speaker 1: with the ever grown You.
2:22
Speaker 2: Still do this. Well, it would depend it if, like,
2:26
Speaker 2: you know, you, let's say you're at Unhinged on a
2:28
Speaker 2: Thursday or something. You go to the bathroom and then whatever,
2:31
Speaker 2: maybe they're out of paper towels at that point in
2:33
Speaker 2: time and your hands are just kind of wet, like, yeah,
2:35
Speaker 2: you wipe that off. But that's fine.
2:37
Speaker 1: But let's say because my kids will have a snack
2:40
Speaker 1: and it'll be kind of like, you know, crumbs from
2:44
Speaker 1: chips or something, and then I try to catch them
2:47
Speaker 1: before they wipe their hands on their pants. Yeah, sometimes
2:51
Speaker 1: I get to them, sometimes I don't. But like, is
2:53
Speaker 1: that a thing I can just expect for the foreseeable future.
2:56
Speaker 2: It's another bell curve, you know, when they have to
2:58
Speaker 2: start buying those paysants and they don't have mom to
3:01
Speaker 2: buy pants for him, and they're going, Okay, I need
3:04
Speaker 2: to actually make these look nice for a little bit,
3:05
Speaker 2: or I got to go back to the store to
3:07
Speaker 2: get more pants, which is the worst jore for any
3:10
Speaker 2: man on the history of life. Okay, they take a
3:12
Speaker 2: little better care, dude, start to take a little better
3:15
Speaker 2: care of their attire when they are paying for said clothes. Gosh. Okay,
3:23
Speaker 2: but then it depends on the jeans as well. If
3:26
Speaker 2: they got some jeans that's just kind of their work jeans,
3:28
Speaker 2: then no, they're wiping them for life, all right.
3:30
Speaker 1: And then finally this one is driving me crazy. I
3:34
Speaker 1: feel like we learned this in kindergarten. Keep your hands
3:36
Speaker 1: and feet to yourselves. Do you guys ever stop rough housing?
3:40
Speaker 1: If I have to tell Aiden and Liam to stop
3:42
Speaker 1: rough housing one more time, I'm gonna throw myself out
3:45
Speaker 1: of a window. Do you ever stop rough housing? Like
3:48
Speaker 1: you have a brother? Do you guys still rouse you
3:50
Speaker 1: have guy friend? Do you guys rough house at your
3:53
Speaker 1: big age.
3:53
Speaker 2: Of thirty five? This is a true story at thirty
3:56
Speaker 2: years old. Five years ago. One of my best friends
3:58
Speaker 2: in life, his name is Sam and Asnie. Him and
4:00
Speaker 2: I we were just for fun, out of nowhere, full
4:04
Speaker 2: blown wrestling, wrestling in our living room, and then almost
4:09
Speaker 2: broke Corey's coffee table. So we put an end to that.
4:12
Speaker 2: It does get fewer and further in between. Okay, but no.
4:16
Speaker 1: But like so, when my kids are grown and they
4:19
Speaker 1: come to visit their little old angiea mommy, I can
4:23
Speaker 1: expect them to rough house still.
4:26
Speaker 2: Yeah, or you know, pick at each other, which causes
4:28
Speaker 2: the rough housing. Yeah, that's just that's how we show love, Angie.
4:32
Speaker 1: Being a boy mom is so fun.
4:38
Speaker 2: Today's variety, Big ninety eight point seven. It's gave in
4:40
Speaker 2: to Angie. We start the morning off maybe a little cloudy,
4:43
Speaker 2: little wet, little rainy, but by the afternoon or mid
4:47
Speaker 2: morning it excuse me, it should clear up. Okay, So
4:49
Speaker 2: by the afternoon we should have sunshine and forty five.
4:52
Speaker 2: That's a victory in and of itself. And we always
4:55
Speaker 2: celebrate victories here on Big ninety eight point seven. Why
4:58
Speaker 2: do we do that, Angie, because.
4:59
Speaker 1: We like to say at the tone for the day
5:01
Speaker 1: and celebrating little victories is a good positive way to
5:05
Speaker 1: start the day.
5:06
Speaker 2: That's exactly right. You know, a little practicing, some gratitude.
5:09
Speaker 2: You know, when you wake up and you do your
5:10
Speaker 2: what are those things called? You say in the mirror,
5:12
Speaker 2: your affirmation? That's right, Will you do some of those Well,
5:15
Speaker 2: that's our version of this on the radio, right, there's
5:16
Speaker 2: no mirror, that's true. We just like to celebrate little
5:21
Speaker 2: wins every single morning on Big ninety eight point seven.
5:24
Speaker 2: If you ever have one, ever, think of one texted
5:27
Speaker 2: to us at seven oh one two eight zero one

Speaker 2: nine eight seven. We like hearing about your joy celebrating
5:33
Speaker 2: life's little victories. Every morning we practice gratitude on Big
5:38
Speaker 2: ninety eight point seven. If I could, I would keep
5:41
Speaker 2: this feeling in a basket job busted out when it
5:43
Speaker 2: was someone's acting hard.
5:45
Speaker 3: Sure your little victories with us at seven oh one

6:21
Speaker 2: I like paid them off and didn't have a bill.
6:23
Speaker 2: I've obviously had vehicles where I did have a monthly bill. Yeah,
6:26
Speaker 2: there is something about either a when you do pay
6:29
Speaker 2: it off or B you just don't have that every
6:31
Speaker 2: single month that is so satisfying. Yes, you know this
6:37

6:51
Speaker 1: the couch with the love of my life and we
6:53
Speaker 1: play the New York Times games on our phone on
6:56
Speaker 1: the little app, and I specifically go head to head
7:00
Speaker 1: with my older brother playing the Mini the Mini crossword,
7:05
Speaker 1: and we always send each other the Times.
7:07
Speaker 2: It's a timed thing.
7:08
Speaker 1: And today my brother got the Mini in forty four seconds, but.
7:14
Speaker 2: I got it in thirty four. Yes, yes, so I
7:21

7:25
Speaker 2: know if I've ever got a word right in any
7:26
Speaker 2: crossword ever. And I'm not even kidding. Oh that's fine.
7:29

Speaker 2: but as like a real adult crossword, I don't New.
7:34
Speaker 1: York Times now, I don't do the New York Times.
7:36
Speaker 1: Like the crossword that's entirely too difficult. But the Mini

Speaker 2: Maybe it'll be just as good. You never know why
9:10
Speaker 2: we do little victories.
9:12
Speaker 1: You gotta find something every day to keep you going.
9:17
Speaker 2: If you didn't see this Harry Potter on HBO, the

Speaker 2: ever most Yeah on HBO. I mean you've probably seen
9:30
Speaker 2: it or scrolled past and saw it on Instagram or
9:32
Speaker 2: something along those lines. And Angie and I were talking
9:35
Speaker 2: about this yesterday when I found this out, and we
9:38
Speaker 2: were thinking back. The first Harry Potter movie, Harry Potter
9:41
Speaker 2: and the Sorcerer's Stone, came out twenty five years ago
9:46
Speaker 2: this November, So twenty five back in two thousand and one. Yeah,
9:51
Speaker 2: a quarter of a century year old? Is this? I
9:55
Speaker 2: don't like that you rephrased it like that. Actually, Yeah,
9:58
Speaker 2: when you put it like that, it is kind of
10:00
Speaker 2: it makes it almost a little too real. Yeah, well, Angie,
10:04
Speaker 2: there's some other things, of course that are going to
10:06
Speaker 2: turn twenty five years old this year, in twenty twenty six,
10:10
Speaker 2: and I want to see if you can guess some
10:14
Speaker 2: of these things if they are twenty five this year
10:17
Speaker 2: or not. Okay, okay, so let's start. Well, we'll just
10:19
Speaker 2: start with the first one, all right, something very easy.
10:22
Speaker 2: The movie Shrek premiered twenty five years ago. Yes, yes,
10:28
Speaker 2: it did. That is correct.
10:29
Speaker 1: Yeah. My boyfriend at the time, freshman year of high
10:32
Speaker 1: school was obsessed with Shrek and that gave me the ick.
10:35
Speaker 2: I just didn't know the term for it back then.
10:37
Speaker 2: Shrek twenty five years old. Okay? What about this one?
10:41
Speaker 2: Halo Combat Evolved was released that shooting game.
10:49

11:04
Speaker 2: five years ago in uh yeah, twenty twenty one, two
11:09
Speaker 2: thousand and one or two thousand and one, yeah, two
11:11
Speaker 2: thousand and one. Yeh yes, that is correct. You were

11:25
Speaker 2: thousand and six? YouTube was released in two thousand and five,
11:31
Speaker 2: so you are okay?
11:33
Speaker 1: I was close, but yeah, not twenty five years old.

11:46
Speaker 2: the Batman movie. No, no, no, no, no, no, not
11:49
Speaker 2: even close.
11:50
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, because I remember being able to drink when that.
11:54
Speaker 2: Yet that was released like a handful of years ago. Okay,
11:58
Speaker 2: I'll try to make it feel better. Yeah, don't say
12:00
Speaker 2: how many years ago? All right, Angie. You might see
12:03
Speaker 2: this on social media a lot, and this is for
12:05
Speaker 2: anybody who has heard of Grand Theft Auto. But yeah,
12:08
Speaker 2: the big joke about oh we're gonna get blah blah
12:10
Speaker 2: blah before Grand Theft Atto six GTA six. Yeah, all right, Angie,
12:15
Speaker 2: Well when was Grand Theft Auto five released? Was it
12:20
Speaker 2: released in two thousand and one? And this will be
12:22
Speaker 2: the last one? Is Grand Theft Auto five twenty five
12:25
Speaker 2: years old? No, no, it can't be right. It is not. Okay,
12:32
Speaker 2: it haven't been a while, but twenty five years this
12:38
Speaker 2: is am I the problem. It's me, hill On the problem.
12:44
Speaker 2: It's me.
12:45
Speaker 3: We'll hear one side of the story and with your help,
12:48
Speaker 3: am I the problem. Decide if it's right or if
12:51
Speaker 3: maybe you're the problem. I'm hardly the problem on Big
12:54
Speaker 3: ninety eight point seven.
12:56
Speaker 1: So Darren email us wanting to know if he's sniffing
12:59
Speaker 1: out a shit shady friend or being a hater Morning
13:03
Speaker 1: Gabe and Ange figured I'd ask the happiest sounding people
13:07
Speaker 1: I know?
13:09
Speaker 2: Am I the problem?
13:11
Speaker 1: Am I the problem for not trusting my wife's coworker
13:14
Speaker 1: because she's always happy.
13:16
Speaker 2: They've become really close in a short period of time.
13:18
Speaker 1: So I see this lady all the time now, and
13:21
Speaker 1: this woman is always positive and smiling. My wife loves it.
13:25
Speaker 1: I think it's kind of weird. I'm not against positivity,
13:28
Speaker 1: but all the time I don't trust it. I feel
13:31
Speaker 1: like she's hiding something. When my wife is venting about
13:35
Speaker 1: work stuff, this lady spins it into a positive somehow,
13:39
Speaker 1: and my wife thinks that's great. But that feels weird
13:43
Speaker 1: to me because how do you never have anything bad
13:45
Speaker 1: to say about work?
13:47
Speaker 2: Shady? So?
13:48
Speaker 1: Am I the problem? Or am I right?
13:50
Speaker 2: It sounds like I have a lady twin out there.
13:52
Speaker 1: Angie, you do be spinning things all the time to
13:57
Speaker 1: be positive.
13:58
Speaker 2: What are your thoughts on this? And what are you
14:00
Speaker 2: do you think?
14:00
Speaker 1: Seven oh one two eight oh one, nine eight seven.
14:02
Speaker 1: We have this up on the Facebook page and you
14:04
Speaker 1: can always text and call us with your opinion.
14:07
Speaker 2: Gabe, what do you think? And I'm sorry, what was
14:09
Speaker 2: this individual? Darren? Darren, Darren, you are the problem? Okay?
14:14
Speaker 2: As someone who I would like to think, for the
14:16
Speaker 2: most part is a pretty happy, positive, optimistic, go lucky guy.
14:22
Speaker 2: Sometimes it's just it's a state of mind, you know
14:25
Speaker 2: what I mean. It's a fake it till you make it.
14:27
Speaker 2: If you can walk around all day trying to be
14:30
Speaker 2: as optimistic and positive about everything as possible, generally speaking,
14:36
Speaker 2: you're just gonna have that mindset on a on a
14:39
Speaker 2: more often basis than if every single day you wake
14:42
Speaker 2: up and you're trying to find the first thing that's
14:44
Speaker 2: going wrong or the first tiny little issue at work.
14:46
Speaker 2: Now your day sucks and it's all over. If if
14:50
Speaker 2: you run into someone I think who at the most
14:52
Speaker 2: part comes off positive and maybe happy, go lucky, smiling,
14:56
Speaker 2: they might not feel like that on the inside, but
15:00
Speaker 2: it's a mindset. It's a state of mind. So I
15:02
Speaker 2: like this girl, whoever this is at work? You keep
15:04
Speaker 2: doing you.
15:05
Speaker 1: Oh man, Gabe. I am very in the opposite camp
15:10
Speaker 1: for this.
15:11
Speaker 2: God what I do.
15:12
Speaker 1: I love that on Big ninety eight point seven we
15:14
Speaker 1: start the show every day with little victories because we
15:17
Speaker 1: like to start on a good note, you know, appreciate
15:19
Speaker 1: the good things. And I do not consider myself someone
15:23
Speaker 1: who's cynical. I am a bit of an optimist that said,
15:27
Speaker 1: you're not the problem, Darren. I think this friend of
15:30
Speaker 1: your wife's is weird. I think she is hiding something.
15:34
Speaker 1: And the reason I think so is because of this
15:37
Speaker 1: work thing. When your wife is venting about work and
15:40
Speaker 1: the friend is always spinning it into a positive and
15:43
Speaker 1: never has anything negative to.
15:45
Speaker 2: Say, that's shady. You are correct.
15:47
Speaker 1: It is weird to not have any grievances about work.
15:51
Speaker 2: And I love my job.
15:52
Speaker 1: I love working with you, Gabe, I love the listeners,
15:55
Speaker 1: I love all the great stuff that we get to do.
15:57
Speaker 2: But every job has its stuff that's.
16:00
Speaker 1: Annoying, and sometimes you want to vent about it and
16:04
Speaker 1: it doesn't have to be spun into some positive thing.
16:08
Speaker 1: I think the friend is trying to get intel. Maybe
16:12
Speaker 1: this does make me cynical. It's trying to get intel.
16:15
Speaker 1: And the reason she never has a negative thing to
16:17
Speaker 1: say is because she doesn't want to get looped in,
16:21
Speaker 1: Like when she snitches to whoever she's snitching to at
16:24
Speaker 1: work about the stuff your wife said and was venting,
16:28
Speaker 1: she doesn't.
16:29
Speaker 2: Have any culpability.
16:30
Speaker 1: She can be like, well I didn't say that, I
16:31
Speaker 1: said this this, and miss sure to cover her tracks.
16:35
Speaker 1: So I think that is shady and I don't like her,
16:38
Speaker 1: and I do not think you're the problem, Darren.
16:41
Speaker 2: Have you ever seen the movie Training Day No, with
16:44
Speaker 2: Denzel Washington and even hocken Hawk. There's a scene in
16:48
Speaker 2: Training Day where Denzel's character Alonzo says to ETHANOK, hey,
16:53
Speaker 2: you got to get a little dirt on you for
16:54
Speaker 2: anyone to trust you. So you're kind of thinking this
16:57
Speaker 2: is one of these scenarios where it's like, well, you're
17:00
Speaker 2: venting to her, she's not really venting back. I don't
17:02
Speaker 2: trust that. Yes, yeah, I do see what you're saying.
17:06
Speaker 2: That I say, I do see what you're saying. But
17:09
Speaker 2: I still think this is the most dude email of
17:12
Speaker 2: all time. This is the most guy sounding thing ever.
17:14
Speaker 2: You know. You know dudes, they're just like, oh, yeah,
17:17
Speaker 2: that person's happy all the time. That sucks. Yeah, the
17:20
Speaker 2: guy thing.
17:21
Speaker 1: Well, consider me a guy today because I'm team Darren
17:24
Speaker 1: on this one. What are your thoughts seven oh one
17:26
Speaker 1: two eight o one nine eighty seven or sound off
17:28
Speaker 1: in the comments on our Facebook page on the problem.
17:37
Speaker 1: Darren wrote into us and I wanted to know if
17:40
Speaker 1: he was the problem because he does not like his
17:44
Speaker 1: wife's new coworker bestie. Actually it's more than he doesn't
17:48
Speaker 1: trust her. He said that the co worker is always positive,
17:52
Speaker 1: always smiling, and that feels like a red flag to him.
17:55
Speaker 1: It feels like she's hiding something.
17:57
Speaker 2: So he wants to.
17:58
Speaker 1: Know is he's just being a hate or if he's
18:01
Speaker 1: actually sniffing out that she's like a shady friend. Gabe
18:05
Speaker 1: thinks that Darren is the problem, right, Yeah.
18:10
Speaker 2: I for me, when someone is happy and positive and
18:14
Speaker 2: joyful in life, you know, I'm just I like that.
18:17
Speaker 2: I'm attracted to that when there's nothing worse than the
18:19
Speaker 2: person who, every single time you see them, talk to them,
18:22
Speaker 2: run into them, they always got some complaint about something
18:25
Speaker 2: that is so exhausting. So I'd rather be around positivity
18:28
Speaker 2: as often as possible. Well, then sorry, I'm your co host, Gabe.
18:32
Speaker 1: No, I am a positive person, and so that's why
18:35
Speaker 1: I feel.
18:36
Speaker 2: Like that's important to know depress it to this person.
18:40
Speaker 1: But I do get where he's coming from, because he
18:43
Speaker 1: also said that when they're venting about work, his wife
18:46
Speaker 1: will vent and this woman will always spin it into
18:49
Speaker 1: something positive, never has anything negative to say. And I
18:52
Speaker 1: just think that it is unrealistic to not have any
18:55
Speaker 1: grievances about work. So I think that the friend is
18:58
Speaker 1: being shady and possible trying to get intel to like
19:03
Speaker 1: snitch at work, and then she can say like, well,
19:05
Speaker 1: I didn't say anything bad. Maybe that makes me more
19:08
Speaker 1: cynical than I thought. We also post this on our
19:12
Speaker 1: Facebook page, and of course you can chime in call
19:14
Speaker 1: us text us seven one two eight oh one to
19:16
Speaker 1: nine eighty seven. But I am miserable to report that
19:21
Speaker 1: no one seems to agree with me.
19:23
Speaker 2: Well, not exactly, not exactly. Micah did say, you're definitely
19:28
Speaker 2: the problem, Darien. What's his name, Darren? Darren? Thank you, Darren.
19:33
Speaker 2: Why would you have an issue with a friend that
19:34
Speaker 2: makes your wife happy and positive? That's kind of where
19:37
Speaker 2: I'm coming from. Yeah, okay. We also had Sandra who said, Darren,
19:42
Speaker 2: you are the problem for all anyone knows her coworker
19:44
Speaker 2: could be masking and putting a happy display on to
19:48
Speaker 2: hide her own suffering. Sometimes those suffering from depression do
19:53
Speaker 2: everything they can to make others lifted and not feel
19:55
Speaker 2: like a burden to society. And Britney agreed with that. Okay,
20:00
Speaker 2: actually do agree with that.
20:01
Speaker 1: Yes, whenever I'm going through a depression, I don't like
20:04
Speaker 1: to put that on anybody else, right, And I did
20:07
Speaker 1: not think of that, so fine, Sandra, Well.
20:10
Speaker 2: Here is your white nights here, Angie, your knight in
20:14
Speaker 2: shining armor. Okay, Julia, Now she does say, yes, you
20:17
Speaker 2: are the problem, Darren. That being said, venting is helpful,
20:21
Speaker 2: but so is thinking of it in a different perspective.
20:24
Speaker 2: So your wife isn't ruminating on the annoyances of work
20:28
Speaker 2: and letting it ruin the rest of her day. So
20:30
Speaker 2: there she'd be kind of on the my side of
20:32
Speaker 2: the fence. But she did say I do think Angie
20:35
Speaker 2: has a point though, that it could be shady. Okay.
20:38
Speaker 1: See that's all I needed, so one person to be
20:41
Speaker 1: on my side. I do, like, you know what, This
20:44
Speaker 1: is heartening though, because it makes me realize that more
20:48
Speaker 1: people seem to be optimist than not. And I think
20:52
Speaker 1: in the year of twenty twenty six, we need.
20:54
Speaker 2: That is right now a good time to buy a
21:04
Speaker 2: home or not now. I will be the first one
21:06
Speaker 2: to tell you I am not a financial advisor. I
21:09
Speaker 2: know very little about money. I know how to spend
21:12
Speaker 2: it and I know how to not spend it. Yeah,
21:14
Speaker 2: that's that's about it. That's right. So for any realistic
21:19
Speaker 2: question you might have on mortgage rates buying a house,
21:22
Speaker 2: obviously talk to a mortgage company or a financial advisor.
21:25
Speaker 2: But I see this on social media all the time
21:28
Speaker 2: from people right here in the FM area, and the
21:31
Speaker 2: short answer is there's no like perfect weight or buy
21:34
Speaker 2: now moment because rates are expected to bounce around all right,
21:38
Speaker 2: We're not in like rates are about to explode situation,
21:42
Speaker 2: but also not wait till they drop to like one
21:45
Speaker 2: percent or something. Right. So, because this is such a
21:49
Speaker 2: hot topic on social media right here in the FM area,
21:51
Speaker 2: I wanted to have a little fun with Angie here
21:53
Speaker 2: today and we're gonna call it this buy it or
21:57
Speaker 2: by buy it? Okay, I am a renter, by the way, yep, perfect.
22:01
Speaker 2: So what we're gonna do here, Angie, I'm gonna give
22:03
Speaker 2: you a scenario and you're gonna let me know, like,
22:06
Speaker 2: are you buying it as in maybe staying there, renting
22:08
Speaker 2: or bye buy them out. Okay, okay, Angie, great place,
22:12
Speaker 2: great location. You love it, you love the yard, you
22:15
Speaker 2: love the amount of rooms. It's got two bathrooms of
22:17
Speaker 2: the whole nine yards. But you have a roommate who
22:19
Speaker 2: sets four alarms starting at four forty five am and
22:23
Speaker 2: never wakes up to any of them. Will this affect
22:26
Speaker 2: you at all because you'll probably be gone, Uh.
22:28
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, let's buy it because yeah, those alarms mean nothing.
22:32
Speaker 1: You're gonna, in fact, that roommate will be mad at
22:34
Speaker 1: me because my alarm goes off at like three fifteen.
22:37
Speaker 2: Right, So you're gonna buy that one, yes, by all right.
22:40
Speaker 2: But if you're in a situation where you don't gotta
22:41
Speaker 2: be to work till eight, that might be bye buy
22:44
Speaker 2: it very different. Yeah, okay, Angie, you love everything about
22:48
Speaker 2: this house, but there's always at least one unknown smell,
22:53
Speaker 2: and no one in the house seems to claim it.
22:55
Speaker 2: Bye buy it. No, I'm really sensitive to smell. I
22:58
Speaker 2: already live with three dudes.
23:00
Speaker 1: Okay, I can't handle any more smells.
23:04
Speaker 2: All right, Angie. How about it's the perfect setup. You
23:06
Speaker 2: love the size of the kitchen, it gives you all
23:08
Speaker 2: kinds of room to operate, but your roommate rewatches the
23:12
Speaker 2: same show every night and laughs at the same jokes,
23:15
Speaker 2: like it's the first time I think I am that roommate.
23:18
Speaker 2: Buy it. Yes, I have two more for you here, Angie.
23:22
Speaker 2: It's a nice place. But your roommate insists the heat
23:26
Speaker 2: stays at sixty two in the winter to save money.
23:29
Speaker 2: It sounds like you're living with your dad. No beautiful
23:35
Speaker 2: by it. You like this?
23:36
Speaker 1: Oh, yes, I am the dad. I keep it so
23:39
Speaker 1: cold in my house at all times.
23:40
Speaker 2: Sixty two is a little cold for me. Sixty five
23:43
Speaker 2: I can get away. Sixty two is cold.
23:45
Speaker 1: Listen, I always say you can pile on more blankets.
23:48
Speaker 1: You can only take off so many articles of clothing.
23:51
Speaker 2: All right, Angie, what about this one? The last one
23:53
Speaker 2: for you? Cheap rent, which we love. Yes, great location,
23:57
Speaker 2: your own bathroom, okay, perfect. But your roommate plays the
24:02
Speaker 2: Barney song on repeat every night to fall asleep. Bye bye. No,
24:08
Speaker 2: that song is trauma. Well you know it would also
24:12
Speaker 2: now work for you. Then I fall asleep to a
24:14
Speaker 2: Harry Potter book every seing. No, that would have me
24:16
Speaker 2: moving in. Baby g will be arriving sometime this summer,
24:27
Speaker 2: and we are in the midst of all kinds of
24:30
Speaker 2: the heavy prep work. You know, we got the clothes
24:32
Speaker 2: hung up, we have the crib put together, we're get
24:34
Speaker 2: in the room, put together, the clothes in the dresser.
24:37
Speaker 2: What an exciting time. I kind of missed this, honestly.
24:41
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what. I did not know a couple
24:43
Speaker 2: of things about pre planning to be a parent. Okay,
24:47
Speaker 2: first off, I did not realize. I know you had
24:50
Speaker 2: to go to appointments, right, but I did not realize.
24:53
Speaker 2: You know, the closer you get, you're going every like
24:55
Speaker 2: two weeks. I love that you go with your wife
24:58
Speaker 2: every single time. What dudes do not? Oh, I got
25:01
Speaker 2: all of them. You are so sweet. But coming out
25:04
Speaker 2: every two weeks, we're going to be visiting, you know,
25:07
Speaker 2: obviously the hospital This Sunday, we're doing a little tour
25:11
Speaker 2: just so we can put yeah, just so we can
25:13
Speaker 2: kind of see our surroundings and what have you. And
25:16
Speaker 2: obviously now we're also starting to get car seats and
25:20
Speaker 2: the thing where you feed them in. And I don't
25:22
Speaker 2: know the names of these things, but car seats and
25:24
Speaker 2: what have you. I did not realize you needed an
25:27
Speaker 2: engineering degree to put together these car seats slash stroller combinations. Yesterday,
25:34
Speaker 2: a nice package delivered to our house. That's some wonderful person.
25:38
Speaker 2: It might have been my mom, for all I know.
25:39
Speaker 2: I have no idea delivered to our house where it's
25:42
Speaker 2: a car seat stroller combo. All right, it's got the
25:46
Speaker 2: base you need to lock on into your car, and
25:48
Speaker 2: then the car seat you can obviously take out out
25:50
Speaker 2: what have you, And then this stroller that you can
25:52
Speaker 2: lock the car seat in. We can take a little
25:54
Speaker 2: baby for a walk. Yeah. Well, whoever got that for you? Excellent?
25:57
Speaker 2: That's like, that's what you need to goaded. Yeah. Yeah,
26:00
Speaker 2: well let me tell you. Putting this thing together, I
26:04
Speaker 2: swear to God, I have a better chance of hanging
26:06
Speaker 2: out with the people in space right now working for NASA.
26:10
Speaker 2: Now we finally get this thing put together. And I
26:13
Speaker 2: am telling you right, this was so embarrassing. I was
26:16
Speaker 2: practicing how to collapse, collapse.
26:19
Speaker 1: Collasp collapse, thank you, collapse this stroller and put it
26:25
Speaker 1: back to use.
26:26
Speaker 2: Yeah, and take the card seat thing off and on
26:28
Speaker 2: because I'm not good. I'm not gonna be public in
26:31
Speaker 2: public trying to have a nice walk with the dog
26:33
Speaker 2: and baby. G And I don't know how this works.
26:36
Speaker 2: I practiced this for thirty minutes yesterday.
26:39
Speaker 1: You got to get those reps in, Gaby, gotta get
26:42
Speaker 1: those reps in.
26:43
Speaker 2: I did not know that I needed to go to
26:45
Speaker 2: Harvard to be a parent. This is insane to me
26:48
Speaker 2: putting these things in. And there's YouTube videos and QR
26:51
Speaker 2: codes on how you scan all this and get it
26:54
Speaker 2: in the car. Right. I have learned a lot in
26:56
Speaker 2: the past two days. Really that there's a whole lot
26:59
Speaker 2: I don't know. I love this.
27:01
Speaker 1: You need to face some adversity, to quote yourself. Yeah,
27:05
Speaker 1: and I think it's a ride of passage. It's a
27:08
Speaker 1: ride of passage you because you know what. I like
27:11
Speaker 1: that you're going through this because your wife right now
27:13
Speaker 1: is quite literally doing the heavy lifting with growing the
27:17
Speaker 1: child that's right inside her body. But then she also
27:20
Speaker 1: still has to be a functioning human adult woman who
27:24
Speaker 1: still goes to work, who still has to get things
27:26
Speaker 1: done while creating life. So the least you could do
27:30
Speaker 1: is struggle with a car seat and a stroller.
27:33
Speaker 2: This is what you deserve, Gabe. I can't be the
27:35
Speaker 2: only one. Please. This is the first time I think
27:37
Speaker 2: I've ever had some relatability to a real parent. Okay,
27:40
Speaker 2: seven oh one two eight zero one nine eight seven,
27:43
Speaker 2: don't lie to me. Did you have to do some
27:45
Speaker 2: practice reps with the stroller and getting the car seat
27:48
Speaker 2: on and off the base so that you're not caught
27:51
Speaker 2: looking like an idiot picking up baby g from daycare.
27:53
Speaker 1: If you've got any tips for our boy, Gabe, please
27:56
Speaker 1: let us know.
27:57
Speaker 2: Seven on one to one nine. I feel like I'm
27:59
Speaker 2: in a boxing ring right now, like in the movie
28:03
Speaker 2: Oh Gosh, I can't think of it now, who plays Rambo?
28:06
Speaker 2: Oh rock yourself? Rocky. I feel like I'm in the
28:12
Speaker 2: boxing ring and I'm Rocky and I'm getting the living
28:14
Speaker 2: crap beat out of me, and then they're going throwing
28:17
Speaker 2: the towel. I need some good.
28:24
Speaker 3: Starting off the day with something good. This is Gabe's
28:27
Speaker 3: good news. On Big ninety eight point seven.
28:32
Speaker 2: A Fargo kid is turning a simple snack into a
28:35
Speaker 2: growing business. There's a twelve year old named Connor Aarbach
28:39
Speaker 2: who was sitting at home eating sea seasoned pretzels when
28:43
Speaker 2: he told his mom, Mom, I could make these, so
28:47
Speaker 2: they looked up. They looked up a recipe, made a batch,
28:51
Speaker 2: and after a few tweaks, Connor had something special. It
28:54
Speaker 2: didn't take long before people started asking to buy his pretzels,
28:59
Speaker 2: and that's when Twistology Season Pretzels was born. Connor began
29:03
Speaker 2: selling at local markets and quickly he sold out, with
29:07
Speaker 2: flavors like ranch and dill pickle becoming big hits. I know,
29:11
Speaker 2: if my wife is hearing this right now, there will
29:13
Speaker 2: be some dill pickle pretzel. Oh my gosh, yes, Bill
29:15
Speaker 2: pickle is the flavor. Now. The young entrepreneur is balancing
29:18
Speaker 2: school while running his own business, even tracking his costs
29:22
Speaker 2: and profits down to the penny. And while his parents
29:26
Speaker 2: help keep things in check, Connor's already dreaming big, hoping
29:30
Speaker 2: to one day take his pretzels from the family kitchen
29:33
Speaker 2: to store shelves. I would not be shocked if at
29:36
Speaker 2: some point you saw Twistology Season pretzels at your favorite
29:40
Speaker 2: grocery store Walmart or Target, wherever you're grabbing groceries. That
29:43
Speaker 2: would be so bad.
29:45
Speaker 1: Ace Based on name alone, I would buy these. They
29:50
Speaker 1: could taste like dirt, which I know they don't. But
29:53
Speaker 1: if I was like, oh yeah, I'm just snacking on
29:55
Speaker 1: some Twistology, that's so cool.
29:58
Speaker 2: Yes, so way to go, Connor, keep it going, man.
30:00
Speaker 2: We hope to see and read and hear big things
30:02
Speaker 2: from you in the future. And you know what if
30:05
Speaker 2: at some point you're like, I don't want to do
30:06
Speaker 2: this anymore. I just want to go play baseball or
30:08
Speaker 2: something that's cool too. You know my favorite quote to
30:12
Speaker 2: broken crayons, they still color and the world is full
30:14
Speaker 2: of nice people. If you can't find one, you gotta
30:16
Speaker 2: be one.
