Exciting: We Call Amanda's Phone Live On Air! · Podcast - Big 98.7

0:00
You know, I've gone on record Amanda saying I love the Internet, big
0:03
Internet guy, and for reasons like this. This is so cool. This
0:06
woman had a family heirloom that she was in charge of after her mom passed
0:10
away. Now, her mom loved this heirloom, kay, And what it
0:13
was you're probably curious like a cat, I'm sure I am. It was
0:17
a leopard carving made by her uncle back in nineteen eighty. The guy I
0:23
told you told me a million things. I am trying. I'm trying to
0:26
figure out a leopard carve. Leopard now, not a leopard like somebody with
0:31
leprosyed. No, I'm thinking of a leopard because you know me, big
0:33
leopard, prink girl you are. Yeah. So it's like a cat.
0:37
So it's a carving of a like a wood carving, bar of soap.
0:41
Actually, no, I don't know what it was. Probably it's probably would
0:45
but they lost it. So when her grandmother, Now enter grandma. So
0:52
I know I'm adding a new player here, but the grandmother died also.
0:57
It's not funny at all, but they sold. You know you've ever done
1:00
this where you got to create clean out grandma's house? Yeah, I know
1:03
a lot of stuff in there, an unbelievable amount of stuff. And you
1:07
know, for my grandma's house, for example, chest of drawers in every
1:11
room. It was the worst day of my life, having to move out
1:17
the day that your grandma died, had to clean out her house. Okay,
1:22
correct. The sheer amount of chests of drawers and that alone annoyed me
1:26
because why is she calling them chests of drawers? And she kept saying,
1:30
can you grab that chest of drawers? And it was just one after the
1:34
other you'd have to carry out, you know, probably five bedrooms. I
1:38
did, there might have been probably eight or nine chest of drawers. Anyway,
1:42
they lose this carving, and so it's a family heirloom. It's sad,
1:47
right, So after this woman's mom passed away, she had to find
1:53
it. So she goes to Facebook. That's I mean, what else can
1:55
you do? So she pos you post a photo of the heirloom. Thank
2:02
god she had a photo. That is shocking. He says, Hey,
2:08
I don't know what else to do. I'm desperate. I lost the family
2:12
heirloom that we all have loved in Cherish Gosh. I'm so glad though,
2:15
because do you think she had like a still photo of it, or do
2:17
you think it was from her phone? It was a snapchat story and so
2:23
here we are looking for this heirloom. And what do you think happened next?
2:27
You think was it on Facebook? Then Marketplace? Probably anywhere? A
2:31
couple not even not even remotely close to where they're living, said, hey,
2:36
wait a minute, I've seen that before, honey, don't we have
2:43
a carving just like this, this leopard carving? You mean this went viral?
2:46
It went viral viral enough anyway, Like I didn't see it, but
2:51
this couple, thank god they did, because they realized that they had purchased
2:54
a similar carving years before, and it was the same harving that this family
3:01
had been cherished, cherishing going back to nineteen eighty and so guess what they
3:07
reached out and this woman has now been reunited with the leopard carving. God
3:12
bless the Internet. Yeah, absolutely like it a minute in the morning,
3:15
Big ninety eight point seven. You know, millennials, people born let's say
3:19
in the eighties, early nineties, they're very set in their ways. There's
3:23
things they do that they just can't quite break. Isn't everybody, No,
3:25
only millennials, Only people born between nineteen eighty. I don't want to find
3:30
any holes in your story. For example, like millennials, they're the type
3:32
that on a voicemail, they're gonna leave a voicemail first of all, and
3:36
leave their phone number despite everybody having caller ID at this point, I don't
3:39
think that's true, but it's okay. I'm reading it here, so it's
3:43
true. Got it? But it is. You know what also gets me
3:46
the people who still like have a voice message. It's like, Hi,
3:50
you've reached so and so I can't come to the phone right now, but
3:53
leave a mess. It's like, that's so unnecessary. You can't come to
3:58
the phone right now. Why don't where what mine is? Why do I
4:00
need to know that? I can't remember the last time I changed it?
4:03
Can we call me quick? And because I made a voicemail? This is
4:06
funny because I don't even know what Okay, this is good stuff. Here
4:11
I go dialing Amanda, what's your number again? I got it? You
4:15
keep telling your story, so that's interesting. And then there's another thing millennials
4:19
do that I never had thought about this, but it is so true.
4:24
Millennials cannot make big purchases on their phones. In, so think about that.
4:32
Okay, I'm really intrigued. Oh boy, this is awesome. Millennials
4:36
can't dial their own number. Okay, here's Amanda dialing her own phone number.
4:42
I'm really intrigued. This will be great. It's going to be an
4:46
automated one and it's gonna be stupid. No, there is no way.
4:48
Now we got to listen to your phone ring. No, I'll hit ignore
4:50
and I'll send you to voicemail. Here we go. How you reached to
4:55
MEA sorry, I think it's my phone right now, leave me a message
4:58
and I'll get back to you with and as I can't think. And it's
5:00
funny because I see you right now and you very much could get to your
5:02
phone. So why do we need that that little till? You're not right?
5:05
So? What would be the right way? What's just way? Like?
5:09
Well, first of all, you don't need anything, you know what
5:11
I mean? You could just say hey, AND's Amanda leave a message?
5:14
You don't even need that much. Just what hey, hans Amanda? Babe?
5:16
I think we go right to the beep. I think we can bypass
5:18
all that. Who wrote that script? Somewhere decades ago, somebody thought,
5:24
hey, it's so and so can't come to the phone right now, but
5:26
leave a message and I'll get back to you. My mom used to have
5:29
the best voice messages. It was like, I feel like it was a
5:31
thing of the It must have been early nineties. I remember our answering machine,
5:36
like the old school answering machine, and be like, Hi, you've
5:40
reached Barbanami and DA can't get to the phone right now, but please do
5:43
leave a message after the beep and have a peachy day. Like she was
5:46
just so over the top. And then remember she was hocking jewelry jewels by
5:50
park Lane. Absolutely so. At the very end of her voicemail before she
5:55
had passed, it was have a jewel of a day. I'm like,
5:58
that's just a door marketing Bartn Andmanday. It was just a two yea in
6:02
the early nineties before Lance Pants was in the picture. Yep, you on
6:09
to switch get dreams. I wanted to be here we are now. That
6:16
would have been a good ring back in the nineties. Absolutely people were calling
6:20
us. Can I go back to the reason I brought this all up.
6:24
It wasn't supposed to be a whole voicemail thing. It was supposed to be
6:26
millennials refusing to buy things big. But there's a there's a point where you'll
6:30
do something on your phone, Like I'll buy a couple Hdmi cables on my
6:35
phone. But if we're talking like airline tickets, trips, things like that,
6:40
you gotta have a computer. You know what I mean? I do
6:43
everything on my phone. Okay? Did should we just not proceed with the
6:46
story. I'm just telling you, like, I have no issue. Really,
6:50
I'll buy tickets, plane tickets on the phone. Frontier ascomfortable. We're
6:56
going to Iowa this weekend. I use Expedia for the hotel. Tell rooms,
7:00
uh, I'll buy a computer. I do everything. Really, you're
7:03
not booking direct through the hotel. No, that's stupid. No, it's
7:08
way cheaper. It's not cheaper. It is cheaper, always the cheapest to
7:11
book through the hotel, and then when something happens, it's way easier to
7:15
get a refund because going through Expedy. Are any of those third party sites,
7:19
it's a nightmare. I guess it depends on where you're staying and what
7:23
you're doing. I guess I'm saying. The world renowned Plaza Hotel Okay in
7:28
New York City Pike Medallas start. Yeah, that's where I'm staying. What
7:31
else are millennials? Yeah, not doing well. They're not making big purchases
7:34
on their phone. And think about it, like, I'm the same way.
7:38
If it gets to be a certain dollar amount, I'm going to need
7:40
that whole computer screen. I want to see all the different fields I got
7:43
to fill out. You know what I'm saying. No, again, not
7:46
relatable to me. Next, let me see if I can find another hole
7:49
in this spot. They use physical wallets that carry wallets around. Yeah,
7:56
when when are we going to get rid of that system? Because that seems
7:59
like you've got the technology because you can do the stuff on your phone.
8:03
Now, that is one thing I like, I have no but think about
8:05
what there's one thing that you need in that wallet that you can't put on
8:07
your phone. Huh. One thing in your wallet that you need to have
8:11
physically. Oh, your driver's license. You go. So that's the next
8:16
thing we got to figure out. But can't you just I mean, wouldn't
8:18
you say you just take a picture of it and you just added to a
8:22
folder. And if you were to get pulled over and you were like,
8:24
here's my driver's license, don't you think they'd go Okay, I guess I
8:28
don't know. That's basically saying, you know, trust me, bro,
8:31
Like I got a license, I'm able to drive. I mean, I
8:35
wasn't even speeding. Trending. Now here's what you need to know. Last
8:41
night, Fargo police officers attended the candlelight vigil at the National Mall and DC
8:45
to honor officers who lost their lives in the line of duty in twenty twenty
8:48
three. The name of Officer will Lean is among the two hundred and eighty
8:52
two names added to the memorial. The Fargo Police Department did really sustainment,
8:56
saying this night was truly breathtaking and powerful. Officer Jake Memory will never be
9:01
forgotten. Absolutely not see Wolves last Game five last night to the Nuggets one
9:05
twelve to ninety seven. Denver now leads to Zeries th Rita too as they
9:09
head back to Minneapolis for Game six tomorrow night. At seven thirty, I
9:13
was just looking and I totally forgot. Last night, Caitlyn Clark had her
9:16
debut with uh the Indiana Fever. She did yep, and the Wolves lost.
9:24
You see that. I just said that. I said the whole story
9:26
Pike. You didn't pay attention. Oh you so quickly moved on to the
9:31
WNBA, did you literally everything I said? Now, the Wolves lie and
9:35
I stayed up. My god, I stayed up till midnight on a school
9:39
night just to watch him lose. And it was the same. The last
9:41
three games have been identical, not competitive. Denver's the better team. I'm
9:46
just it's it's it's over, it's doine, Caitlyn Clark. This is the
9:50
first headline struggles in WNBA debut as Connecticut's son dominates the Indiana fever. I
9:56
think we're kind of moving on from that, right, I don't think so.
10:00
I think you you can move on all you want. They were kind
10:03
of off that, but okay, no, that's that's great. Good luck
10:09
to the t Wolve Zoe taking on the Nugs. Yeah, when it's tomorrow
10:13
seven thirty again, already said all of that. It's a must win,
10:16
obviously, to win or go home. Yesterday, Gail King, who is
10:22
sixty nine, was surprised she was on her morning show when Kate Upton and
10:26
Hunter McGary they showed up to chat about this year's special sixtieth anniversary issue of
10:31
Sports Illustrated Gail, of course, knew she was going to be a part
10:35
of the issue, but thought it was more of like an Instagram post.
10:37
They didn't like sneak photos of her in a swimsuit, because that wouldn't be
10:41
Okay, what would you do if you opened them Sports Trade magazine and there's
10:46
a photo of you in a swimsuit. Oprah invited her over and was like,
10:50
Gail, just just frolic in the pool, do me a favorite,
10:54
try this one piece on. I'm dying to see it on you. Yeah,
10:58
okay, but nyway, they did surprise her. But Nate burleson right,
11:03
is that the guy or not? I believe he was on my fantasy
11:05
football team? Ones here? Yes, So Kate and Hunter aren't the only
11:11
cover stars in the room right now trying to find this next cover star.
11:16
She is right here. Okay, So they're surprising Gail, and just prepare
11:22
yourself for the worst sound you've ever heard, Gail swim soup. Yeah,
11:35
they put her on the cover and Gail for her part, looking great,
11:39
so fantastic one piece, I know, yeap, real good. And is
11:43
she famous because she's Oprah Oprah's friend or is she Oprah's friend because she's famous.
11:48
I think she became famous because she was Oprah's friend. And now everybody
11:52
you get an issue, you get an issue, you get an issue of
11:54
Sports Illustrated. You just find any way to I love Oprah to put that
11:58
in. This always makes me get going Amanda in the morning on SIG seven.
12:05
Man, this is what I won't say. Gross, I want you
12:07
to tell me what you think. Women went online to complain about her neighbors.
12:11
Not an uncommon thing to do. It happens. Neighbors can be very
12:13
annoying. However, these particular neighbors an elderly couple retired. They are enjoying
12:20
the sun. They love soaking up the sun. YEA made it through a
12:24
long winter time to sit down in your yard. When I think of retirement,
12:28
I think of that coffee in the morning, enjoying, you know,
12:31
the sunrise, absolutely outside all day, maybe margarita at noon, and then
12:37
you know, wind down with the sunset. The only problem, though,
12:41
is this particular elderly couple likes to enjoy the sun naked. Oh boy,
12:46
and so the neighbor that's great, A little bothered by that, like there's
12:52
no fence situation. I mean, you're just falling out in their garden naked.
13:00
Oh they're gardening naked. No. No, they're just enjoying the sun.
13:03
Oh, got it, my sun bathing bathing in the sun. I
13:07
don't know if it's a sight for sore eyes or not, but probably probably.
13:11
So what a thing to say? How do you know that? Well,
13:15
you did mention they were elderly, and it could be a couple of
13:18
Gail Kings. I'm not elderly, but after a couple of kids, you
13:22
know, sometimes you're just like, you know, things are just different and
13:26
being just naked, just hanging around. Maybe he's rock solid. I don't
13:31
know. They're confident. They're confident though about themselves. But isn't that the
13:37
case? So you know, have you ever been to like a nude beach.
13:39
It's wild, yeah, because you would expect like ten out of ten
13:45
out of ten, and usually it's like one out of two, maybe threes
13:48
going yeah, one tchoosing threes yeah, yeah, yeah. It seems liberating
13:52
to get to that age because it's a lot of older people, right,
13:54
nude beaches. Don't you also have to you should then move to a community
14:00
like a Newdiest colony, because don't they have a few of those. Well,
14:03
I'm sure you shouldn't have to, though, it shouldn't be law that
14:07
you have to move to a colony. Well, I mean, if you're
14:09
out in the backyard with your kids, it's like, oh, there's a
14:13
Jeane and Joy just enjoying the garden naked. Like that's not cool, right,
14:18
Just get a YMCA membership and hang out in the locker room like some
14:22
other old guys. It seems to be the place to do it. It's
14:26
like, oh yeah, it's like, hey, guys, are you working
14:30
out? Are you just come down here to get naked and walk around the
14:33
locker room and put your foot up on the bench and ben a while since
14:35
I've been in a locker room situation, but that's classic. You know that
14:39
the towel around your neck could also go around your waist doing the big stretches
14:46
like ooh, just get out of the sowna. Hey, good to see
14:50
you again, back back again. I felt like getting naked, huh,
14:56
it's good to see you boys. What a visual in the morning on a
15:03
big nuddy eight point seven. Well, finally there's been a ruling from the
15:07
Supreme Court amandon, so it's official Okay, okay, maybe not the Supreme
15:11
Court, but the Indiana Superior Court. Okay, it's close enough. Okay.
15:16
It's long been debated as to whether things like hot dogs, tacos,
15:20
burritos, are they sandwiches. Oh, I've heard this debate. Do they
15:26
qualify as a sandwich? Taco is not a sandwich. That's interesting you say
15:31
that, Amanda, because that very subject was the matter of an Indiana Supreme
15:35
Court case. That's so I'm so glad that they went to court over this.
15:39
What life were we in? Here's why it got all the way to
15:41
the Superior Court of Indiana. A conflict arose when a Mexican Mexican restaurant tour
15:48
Martin Quintana, attempted to open a strip mall, and he faced opposition.
15:54
Now here's the problem. The strip mall only allowed for quote made to order
16:00
or subway style sandwiches. That was the rule for the strip mall. Got
16:03
it. Well, somebody wanted to open a Mexican restaurant, and so they
16:08
went all the way to the Supreme Court arguing that You keep saying Supreme Court,
16:11
but it was the Indiana just like Superior court, Yeah, just like
16:17
Okay, do you want to get into a Civis discussion. Is what the
16:19
difference is CLI. I don't want people to be like, really the Supreme
16:22
courts handling this with our tax dollars. Oh you're you're a big fan of
16:26
Supreme Court. I named three judges, lots of them. Go just go
16:33
go on this story. You don't want to embarrass yourself because you can't even
16:36
name one anyway, So it goes Judge Judy. So goes all the way
16:44
to the Court. They're saying, hey, we can open a Mexican restaurant
16:45
because tacos are sandwiches, they're Mexican style sandwiches. So it goes to the
16:49
court, and the Holy Reverend of the Supreme Court, Judge Bobe, determined
16:57
that tacos and burritos do in fact qualify as Mexican style sandwiches. Reading the
17:04
restaurant was able to open in the Strip mall. And now, if anybody
17:07
ever asks you, because this is now a precedent, can you turn down
17:11
the Yeas Now there's a precedent that's been set, and that's how the legal
17:18
system works. Once the Supreme Court rules, now that's that's how it goes.
17:22
That is really interesting though, because there are a lot of strip malls
17:26
and stuff like that where it's like, you wouldn't have two nail salons to
17:27
this whatever. So that would be kind of a conflict because I would think,
17:32
yeah, a taco shop and a sandwich shop could be right next to
17:33
each other. They're two totally different entities, and yeah they're both food.
17:37
But when I'm hungry for a taco, that doesn't mean I want to go
17:41
have a Jersey Mike sandwich. Those are two totally different things. Well they
17:44
are, but these are Mexican style sandwiches. Will that Does this change your
17:49
opinions of tacos? I feel like I need to eat it different, Like
17:53
I feel like I need to eat the taco now two hands, Yeah,
17:56
two hands, Like I'm eating it as a like a mex and pizza or
18:00
testata. That's another thing. They have different versions of things like that.
18:03
Yeah, they have a lot of different things, but then at the same
18:07
time, it's like all the same, you know what I mean, It's
18:08
just a different arrangement of tortilla. I would put a hot dog closer to
18:14
a sandwich than a taco. Yeah, would you rather have ten hot dogs
18:17
or ten tacos ten tacos, and I would house them. It would be
18:21
easy. It would be an easy task. What's your favorite taco? I
18:25
just like a crunchy I'm like a crunchy taco guy. Love just a hard
18:29
shell. And I'll say Taco Bell. It's got pretty good hard shells.
18:32
I think. I always go a yeah, there's one, A deal?
18:37
Is there? Oh, like forty five miles away? Perfect, there's one
18:40
in the later and I think they're locally. I'm talking they're all gone,
18:44
right. I don't want to offend any Johns. No, but their their
18:48
burrito game was better, I thought than Taco Bell. But Taco Bells crunchy
18:51
tacos superior. Much like the court in Indiana that ruled that tacos are Mexican
18:56
style sandwiches, we brought it around. Do you have anything more to add
19:02
about tacos? No, what's your favorite taco? I disagree. I'm going
19:04
to file an appeal. Not for me, nada in Jolada. What did
19:11
I tell you about taco pints? I said we would have none. That
19:15
was an in Jlada pun. It wasn't even a pun to be fair,
19:18
like get Amanda in the morning. No, Amanda Stills, Let's See,
19:22
Let's See, and it's brought to you my part company, Real Tours.
19:26
Well, I love Tom Brady even more after he sat down for an interview
19:30
post roast and was talking about how the jokes landed and how it really made
19:34
his kids feel his kids were off limits. If you have not watched it
19:38
yet, they do not make any jokes about the kids, but it's still
19:41
the moms and just people around him that I could I could see because they
19:47
are young where it's like, but they're old enough to know and get the
19:49
jokes too, so it's just kind of icky. Listen to what he had
19:52
to say that the Bill Ny Beams song, Sorry Here he Is. I
19:57
heard that, you know. Like I said, I loved when the jokes
20:00
were about me. I thought they were so fun. I didn't like the
20:04
way that affected my kids. So it's the hardest part about like the bittersweet
20:08
aspect of when you do something that you think is one way and then all
20:11
of a sudden you realize I wouldn't do that again because of the way that
20:17
affected actually the people that I care about the most in the world. Well,
20:19
let's not act like he didn't sort of see it coming. But you
20:22
know that's a price you pay for twenty five million dollars. Your kids are
20:26
going to be affected a little. Allegedly, that hasn't been completely confirmed yet.
20:30
Some people are saying it was actually more than twenty five million, which
20:33
again is hard to even wrap your head around that kind of money just to
20:36
sit there. Yeah, I know, even for him who's made hundreds of
20:38
millions of dollars, that's still a incredible amount of money for something that's just
20:44
a pretty good time. Yeah, exactly. Joan evesos she is going to
20:48
get another shot at love. You're thinking, who's Joan? Well, she
20:52
is a sixty one year old school administrator who has been cast as the first
20:55
Golden Bachelorette. It is going to air Wednesdays in the fall on ABC.
21:00
She you'll probably remember, this was a front runner on gear Bear season.
21:03
Fortunately, she had to leave in week three because there was a family emergency.
21:07
Yeah, right. During the Women Tell, although she admitted that's what
21:11
I say too, and I need to get out of something. Nobody can
21:14
ask any questions that way, she did say that she felt that there was
21:18
some unfinished business between her and Turner. I'm like, oh, really turn
21:22
he shows up, Gary Turner shows up and uh, you know, Joan,
21:30
can I get another shot? That would be interesting, little plot twist.
21:36
No, that would be interesting. There's all sorts of things I'm imagining
21:40
that would be interesting. Yeah, I'm excited, excited for the season.
21:42
We'll see see who else they get. As far as the Fellas go,
21:45
I know, I think we can do better in Gary for Joan, don't
21:48
you gonna take? It's gonna take somebody who. She was very active as
21:53
well. I felt like they actually kind of hit it off right away.
21:56
So who knows. I don't know. Yeah, you still want to throw
21:59
your steps down in the ring, you know. I thought about that.
22:00
Yeah, he's a little bit older than her, but hey, you wouldn't
22:04
know it though. No, he's got young absolutely. Wow. Just throwing
22:10
his age out there, Pike. Wow. Oh was that right? Is
22:12
he seventy five or something like that? Yeah? All right. Kevin Costner,
22:15
finally addressing the drama surrounding his pending exit from Yellowstone, He said,
22:19
basically, everything that we've heard about him with the contract agreements, everything about
22:26
him not wanting to finish it all out, he said, it's not truthful
22:29
it's bs and he says, I've taken a beating from those bleeping guys.
22:33
I made Yellowstone the first priority, and for them to insinuate anything else would
22:37
be wrong because he's doing a different Western, is he really? Yeah?
22:40
So like the Horizon something? What are you doing? Why are you ruining
22:45
a Yellowstone Stone? Right? I'm talking about Kevin Costner and he's doing a
22:48
different Western? What? What? Yes? What's it called? I told
22:53
you get a rid of Bill Nye, the science guy, the Horizon that.
22:59
You know. I'm just if any thing. Just glad westerns are back.
23:02
But what's what was the like Clint Eastwood? Of course? But who
23:04
is the other Western? Are you talking about? Like Tombstone? I'm thinking
23:08
of the guy John Wayne? Is that who is? Yeah? John Wayne's
23:12
thinking, geez, wish I was still alive. You know. You think
23:18
that's what he's saying. Because they're back, baby, you know what I
23:21
mean? Did you ever watch Yellowstone? Uh? Uh, you gotta get
23:23
it. I don't think I've seen a single Western anything. See, And
23:27
that's kind of where I was at when Yellowstone first debut, And I'm like,
23:30
that's not gonna be for me. It's gonna get your pike. It'll
23:33
be one of your favorites. That's what people say. It's like, well,
23:36
I don't like Western so I'm not gonna watch it. Just like how
23:38
you say you're not into like Fantasy dragons, so you don't watch Game of
23:42
Thrones. Meanwhile, you're missing out. I'm possibly the greatest TV series ever
23:47
crafted. I have an idea what I'm I'm just getting wild here. Okay,
23:52
you watch Yellowstone, I'll watch Game of Thrones, and then deal will
23:56
be. Can I borrow your login for yahoop plus or whatever it's on Paramount
24:00

24:19
a very good listener that became a good friend. And her name is Michelle.
24:23
Michelle is a really lovely lady. And today is a kind of a
24:27
crazy day, isn't it. It's absolutely wild that I made it to age

24:45
selfie queen is going to be fifty. You've probably seen her around town.

You're pretty much everywhere. Like I look at you. Are you omnipresent like
24:53
Jesus and Santa Claus? Because I will be somewhere and I'm like, oh,
24:56

25:00
FM area doing something fun. It feels like a live life. Man.
25:03
What's your favorite place in Fargo? Oh, I'm sorry to hit you with
25:07
a holy such a hard question question more head, you know, just kind
25:14
of a woman about the town. You know, I'm gonna say that it's
25:18

25:21
I have a good time. It's very nice. I don't know that.
25:23
I just love Fargo. I really do. There's always something going on and
25:27
I have so many friends and family here that I I do stuff and like
25:33
life is all about living and I am a big fan of choose happy and
25:37
absolutely yeah. Well, not to get emotional, but you know, we
25:40
knew your husband. You lost your husband some years back now Jay almost ten.
25:45
He's a great man, way too soon, but you know since and
25:48
it's been a pleasure to see you living your life, having fun, like
25:52
you said, living every day, you know, and it's it's awesome.
25:53
So and you're talking about how time is just a wild thing because you have
25:57
a daughter, Brooke, who is how old now Brooke is nineteen? Mind
26:02
blown because when I first met her, we were at Applebee's doing a Sesame
26:06
Street giveaway stacking cookies and she was my daughter Sydney's age, which is just
26:10
crazy. But I do have to do a little reminiscing speaking of that.
26:15
Twelve years ago on this day, Pike, this guy right herem head wrote
26:19
on your wall for your birthday, Happy birthday, MJ. Because you'd filled
26:25
in on the morning show when I was gone and you were MJ Wilde.
26:29
He said, have a super day. You're still one of my favorite female
26:30
co hosts. The list goes like this, Number one, MJ wild Number
26:37
two Amy Unra, a former Newswoman yep name. Number three is Yvonne Mahn
26:42
also a former newswoman who filled in number did a great job. Number four,
26:47
no female at all. I have some time off Number five. Amanda
26:52
Lee, you made the top fivees hilarious. Nine years ago. You were
26:56
in here with your daughter and your mom for Live Audience Friday. It's just
26:59
been on to kind of have this journey with you on your birthday. Live
27:02
Audience Friday was fun. That's a solid walckdown memory. Later, there were
27:06
some good times. Do you remember you guys were doing an on air contest
27:08
and my mom got in and we were like, oh, you were from
27:11
the studio. Yeah, yeah, that was incredible. Michelle is one contest
27:17
or two over the years, only on our station. Of course. Of
27:22
course, now I want to go back to what a man is said,
27:25
because it's your birthday, fiftieth birthday, and you're doing something called fifty fifty
27:29
birthdays, fifty selfies. Fifty selfies for my fiftieth Yeah, okay, that
27:33
makes more sense. So what is that? I just when I was turned
27:37
forty, it was a wild time because ten years ago, yeah, ten
27:40
years ago, Jay was in the hospital. My first selfie of the day
27:42
was his head on a stick. I had Jay on a stick. I
27:45
thought, right, I thought about taking him today and that I was like,
27:48
you know, what's it's a new chapter. I still have Jay on
27:51
a stick. He might make an appearance some day, but I like a
27:55
something like that. It's just like a picture blown up like eight by ten.
27:57
It's his head life size, like if you like, take the selfie
28:00
just right. It kind of looks like you're here, and hang on,
28:03
I wasn't planning this, but hang on, what does she have a surprise?
28:07
Guys, I don't know what's going on. Oh, she's grabbing a
28:08
cardboard head my huge chapter. Do you know what I have in the studio
28:14
right now? Is Pike? A cutout of Pike? Because a year ago
28:18
today, Pike and I started this new chapter of our lives. Oh my
28:22
god, what a day. If you would like to have Pike today,
28:23
here's your first selfie with Yeah, it's a huge cardboard and now that's actual
28:27
size. Believe it or not, it's hard to resist. I did apply
28:32
to, uh take Pike around town and that it would have been epic.
28:34
But one contest you didn't win. I did not win that one. See,
28:37
everybody thinks I win everything. It is not true. So you're gonna
28:41
go around all day today getting fifty selfies. That's the goal. I am.
28:45
I'm anybody can apply, everybody who's listening. I'm actually sixteen minutes late,
28:48
already behind schedule. I'm supposed to be at Denny's. You know,
28:52
it's kind of how I wad you got a whole day plan? What's the
28:53
lineup? Look like? We're starting at Denny's because I'm going to get my
28:56
free gerround slam and if y'all don't think I'm in a double side of bacon,
29:00
think again, why wouldn't you? Then I'm heading to where am I
29:07
going next? Sandy's Donuts? Yes? Oh MANA has a schedule all lined
29:11
up here Sandy's Donuts. There's a parody so for lunch and classic. Then
29:15
I'm gonna ride Shields Ferris Wheel for an hour. Okay, I was curious,
29:18
are you really going to be on it for a full hour? I'm
29:22
throw twenty bucks whoever wants to hop on with me. Let's go really so
29:25
good. Now, if somebody shows up, can they share it a cart
29:27
with you? Absolutely? And then they will be in the selfie book because
29:30
I'm making a scrap book of my fifty selfies. Then we have some dinner
29:34
plans, obviously, gonna go hit the old Mexican Village and across the street
29:38
is Roundup Saloon and they have Rick Adams. It's fantastic, welcome music legend.
29:45
Rick Adams. I saw him on the golf course yesterday. Nice you
29:48
from what I saw, he dodged your ball or he I just saw him.
29:52
I think he's a good player. Yeah, you have to ask him,
29:55
but he's he's a good guitar player and singer. I know that.
29:57
I did look to see if the old band Low Standards was playing anywhere tonight
30:00
because I decided I need some live music on my birthday. But Rick Adams
30:03
is all I found at the round Up, So I hope to see everybody
30:06
out there. That's so fun. Do you need any support from a local
30:10
radio station. Would you like to broadcast at any of these events? I
30:14
mean, if you guys got some frist following you around all day long.
30:18
Oh god, that's such a cool thing. And you know, we just
30:21
want to wish you a happy fiftieth birthday, Michelle. You've been a part
30:22

30:41

30:48
I know, but it's like show wise though I could at least be
30:52
include. Oh you wanted me to say, Pike and a man in the
30:55
more. Sorry, guys, well I take it back. Not a happy
31:00
birthday, and I have a terrible day. Enjoy your day, just a
31:03
normal day now, Michelle, thank you for coming in, taking a minute
31:06
in the morning, Stage seven, Today's Ronny Big ninety a point seven.
31:10
Good morning, Pike and Mandy in the morning. You're gonna be rainy today,
31:12
High a sixty one. All of this stuff about red lobster is making
31:15
me so hungry, Pike, What is all of this stuff about reps?
31:18
Every time I'm turning around, every saying red lobster is like going out of
31:22
business in different places, and it just keeps popping up, and it's just
31:25
like it's making my tummy grumble, so making me want Red Lobster now the
31:27
one here is still open, right, Yeah, I haven't heard anything about
31:30
the local one, right. I've had a lot of memories at Red Lobster.
31:33
That was always a tradition in our family, Like whenever there was something
31:37
to celebrate or whatever it is, we'd go to the one in Saint Cloud
31:41
and the ultimate feast. I have so many pictures of me kind of like
31:45
eat, like with the lobster tail, like geez, you know, doing
31:48
that I was always getting as a young man, I ate a lot,
31:52
so i'd get like the Captain's platter or whatever, what have you. Yes,
31:56
so many good things are like when they do emlish. Yeah, I
32:00
think that's what put them under, is it not. Wasn't it the fact
32:04
that people were like eating the amount of shrimp so it just literally sank the
32:07
business. I'm not sure. I didn't. You would think though, because
32:10
they have all those lives. The live lobster thing that always threw me off.
32:14
I was like, are you really gonna cook up that longster? It
32:16
wasn't interesting, I'll say, you know, made him stand out as a
32:20
child going there to see like the live lobsters. I look forward to that
32:23
this would become a red lobster conversation like a field trip. Yeah, sorry,
32:28
I totally diverted us. But I feel like we should talk about it
32:30
because I was one of those places. It was that or a Chinese restaurant.
32:36
My mom would take me to celebrate before Christmas and we'd get the poo
32:38
poo platter for two. But I love a little poo poo, but it
32:42
would come on fire and then you like, grill it over and don't put
32:45
it out with your boots. Ted, I don't get that. It's a
32:50
Billy Madison reference. Oh sorry, you're not a young boy. So here
32:53
here's my question. Where would you rank because what do they call the cheddar
32:55
baby biscuits? Yes, where would you rank those as far as uh things
33:00
that come out before the meal for free at a restaurant? Because these are
33:02
going to be up olive garden breadsticks. You got the bread that comes out
33:06
of Texas Roadhouse with the cinnamoni butter, and then you got the chedderbay biscuits.
33:10
I think it's top. I think it's number one for it. But
33:13
are we taking or are we taking like chips and salsa out of this?
33:15
We're going just build that count gosh, if they come out hot and fresh
33:22
and back there, it's impossible to beat cheddarbaby. Yeah, and you know
33:27
what they nailed to, which is shocking. I know. I don't know
33:30
if you can get them at like cash Wise Hornbarkers, but I remember you
33:31
could get the Cheddar Bay biscuits and bake them for like Costco. You could
33:36
buy them that was like a hot item for a little bit. And to
33:38
be honest with you, please please be you do it right, follow that
33:43
recipe and it was easy. I feel like it was just add water,
33:45
goo up them on there. They tasted just like it, which is rare
33:49
because usually it's like, oh, yeah, this will taste just like it.
33:52
It doesn't. It never does. It's impossible to describe how good they are.
