  Speaker 1: You can probably point to a couple of moments in
• 0:01
  Speaker 1: your life where you realize, like, my life changed when
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: I discovered this, right for me, one of the big
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: ones more recently is when my wife and I finally
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: decided to get a Costco membership.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: Oh gosh, yeah, you've really been all about this.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: I mean for years we were just and I love
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: our grocery stores and I'll never not have to use
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: a grocery store because you know, if you know, if
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: you go to these wholesale places, you know there's certain
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: things you just can't get there or that you don't
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: need in bulk. Right, But Costco been the game changer.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: And do you know how long people are spending in
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: a Costco on average?
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: Do you what? Do? What do you?
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: Because? Do you do any whole ceiling?
• 0:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so we used to be a Sam's Club members
• 0:44
  Speaker 4: we popped over to Costco. My husband just swears by
• 0:47
  Speaker 4: like their golf attire and stuff like that.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: That's golf attire, golf balls, golf gloves. I mean that alone.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: My summer was I used to just bide through gloves
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: at the at the pro shop and the markup.
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: God, Amanda, that was one of his deciding factors on that.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: But I think I've shared this with you.
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: I get anxiety going to Costco because I can't say no,
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: Like I just like look around and I see things,
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: and I so hard. I can't stop buying things. You
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: get over to the clothes and then you start looking around.
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: It's just it is so incredibly overwhelming to me. And
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: then when you get done, it's like playing tetris trying
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: to get all your stuff in the car.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: I can't do it.
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: So I do same day delivery if I'm ever doing
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: any of the stuff otherwise Costco.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: My husband goes and does it. Yeah, but he loves it. No,
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: it's it's great. So how long for me?
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: It would take me probably two hours.
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: My husband can be in and out of there in
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: ten to fifteen minutes, unless he stops at the food court.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: Because are we adding that time in there?
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Well, that's part of the average, I suppose, because and
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: I've never like, that's one thing I've not done is
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: eating the hot dogs or whatever. And it looks really good,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: but it's just like I swear there's people going there
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: just for that hard to find a seat.
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: When I was pregnant with Sydney, I would go there
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: just to eat the footlung hot dog.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: Like I would just sit there and just like.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: I'm just picturing a pregnant Amanda sit by yourself gozzling
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: a foot long.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: There's that.
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: But you love ice cream so much and they have
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: guilty is charge the best offt serve ice cream?
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: Oh gosh, yeah, oh good. Yeah. See that's why I
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: don't even want to try.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: I don't want to start doing it because now every
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: grocery store trip is me gaining a ten pounds minimum.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: They say though average trip time thirty seven minutes, kind
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: of quick, and on average sixty four dollars people are spending.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: Oh, get out of it.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: I know, I don't believe that. Just that's two items
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: sixty four is yeah, that's minimum. That's like the smallest
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: trip you can make. But then there are times where
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: it's hundreds of dollars, and I don't feel bad because
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: I know how long the hundreds of dollars is going
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: to last for me, And I think.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: That that's where I struggle with it.
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: I'm kind of a I'll go to either cash Wise,
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: Hornbockers or Ald and just grab a few little items,
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: and I feel like, oh, it's less than one hundred bucks,
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: but I go once a week in order to do that,
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: whereas I go to Costco and it is minimum three
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: three point fifty. And now it feels like you're getting
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: nothing even though.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: There What do you mean tell me more about getting me?
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: It just feels like, are you forgetting to bring your
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: groceries of the car?
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: No, it just feels like there's like ten items.
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's in bulk, but that's it, and then I
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: have to go get all the other things with it.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Yeah, I mean it's not fulfilling to me.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: Maybe you're doing it wrong. I don't know.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Have you tried getting some of the samples because I
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: can make your trip worthwhile? You know?
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: That doesn't get me either. Really, in a way, it's
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: kind of like, no, I'm good. I don't know.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: Some people you can tell because they're the hoverers. Like
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: when the person is still preparing and the people try
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: to act like they're doing other things, I'm like, just
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: get in line. You know you're standing here because you
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: can see it's a it's almost coming out of the back. Okay,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: just say you're here for it. They're just circling rut
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: and then you're they're in your way, like if you're
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: trying to get through.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's the whole other thing. It's very hard
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: to navigate.
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: And I am the worst if I am at Costco,
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: I apologize because I'm such like a lolly, Like I'm
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: looking around and I'm so distracted and those cards are
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: so big, and you know, there's people that are there
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: on a mission. They know what they're trying to do,
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: and I'm kind of like oop, sorry, wrong way going
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: through the produce.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: And it's kind of a mess.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: I yeah, people like you, I know, trust me, Just
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: have some awareness. If you're stopped in, like on your
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: phone or just thinking about something, just know that sooner
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: than later, somebody's trying to get around you. So just
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: be conscious of that.
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: And do you ever do I did the scanning go
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: for a long time where you're already scanning your items
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: on your phone as you're going through.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: Really, I don't know about that. Is that at Sam's Club? Probably,
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: I've never heard of it. I thought it was at Costco.
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: But either way, so then that's also another Again it's helpful,
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: but that's also another distraction because you're trying to go
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: through as you're.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: There's a lot going on. There's a lot going on.
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: Do you feel my anxiety going up talking about Costco?
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: I can feel it. But you know what they say, Amanda, Yes,
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: everything worth have what it's this is gonna be good.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: We're all here for it. Help me with this.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: There's a saying about something like the things that are
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: worth having are are hard to get. You know what
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like, everything worth having you're.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: Worth the wait. It's it's just it's hard to get it.
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: God.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: There's a saying, you know what I mean, if.
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: The longer you have to wait for something, the more
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: you'll appreciate it when it finally arrives.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: Did you look that up?
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: No, it's not the time, it's how difficult it is.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Like if it's easy to achieve, then the reward probably
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: isn't that great.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: This is maybe even more exhausting than Costco. Okay, give
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: us like ten to fifteen minutes. We'll come back with
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: an answer.
• 5:41
  Speaker 5: An in the morning, Big naty eight point seven.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Big ninety your point seven. Today's variety, it's piking a
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: Manday in the morning.
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: Gonna be Colloudie today. Chance of some showers this afternoon
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: high of eighty three.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: You're ready, ready, let's see it is piping hot today
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: and now Amanda stills, let's see.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: Let's see whoa.
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: I think everybody was in shock yesterday as we waited
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: to find out what Didty was actually arrested for, what
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: was he formally charged with, and what we found out, Pike,
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: was your mind blown?
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: I see, No, it wasn't. I mean, I'll be honest,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: it's kind of what I was imagining.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: Really, I guess the depths of it.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: I did not many details, as some people made it
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: seem like I go ahead with the story. Maybe I
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: missed something, all right.
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: Well, he was formally charged with sex trafficking, racketeering, and
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: transportation to engage in prostitution. In the unsealed indictment, Diddy
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: was described as the boss of a criminal group that
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: abused women and forced him to participate in what they
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: call freakoffs. Watching this yesterday, I had never heard.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: Of anyone freak off.
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: No.
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: I was watching them as they were reading all of this,
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: and not only the amount of times that they were
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: saying freakoff, but the details behind it.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: I had never heard of anything like this.
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: No, the indicement also says that women were threatened with
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: violence as well as the loss of financials if they
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: refused to participate. He allegedly kept videos of these freak cops,
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: and we use the videos as collateral to ensure that
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: they would be obedient and that they would remain silent.
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: No victims were named in the indictment. There was a
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: couple of times that you could tell that they were
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: referring to the Cassie video when they were talking about
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: the incident that happened in the hotel. Now, when federal
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: agents raided Ditty's home back in March, they sees narcotics
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: and more than a thousand bottles of baby oil and lubricant,
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: and those were used during the freak Cops. They found
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: nine AR fifteen style weapons. Six reportedly had serial numbers
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: that were intact, three others had serial numbers that were defaced.
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: If found guilty, I was watching a few people yesterday
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: talk about this, he could spend the rest of his
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: life in prison. Some people were saying, even if he
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: were to get away with some of this stuff, yeah,
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: still probably fifteen years in prison.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: No, it's very serious. Don't mean to diminish the seriousness
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: of it. I just I was kind of imagining this
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: sort of thing. But, like you said, it's disturbing. And
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: his defense attorney, I guess their argument is that it
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: was all consensual.
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, saying it was consensual, saying that they were in
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: a long term relationship when referring to Cassie and how
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: she is the one who provoked that situation. We just
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: didn't see that on video. Some of the other things
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: that the defense was saying in terms of he had
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: no idea. Of course he had to have self defense.
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: That's why he had all these ars around him. He
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: had no clue that they were there. It's like one
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: woman was under his bed, I think, or on the
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: side of his bed.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and what he did in that Cassie video, there
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: is nothing she could have done beforehand that would justify him.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: He's running away, Yeah, like that's not self defense.
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: Well, it's very disturbing. And he went in there yesterday
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: offering up a fifty million dollar bail and was just
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: basically trying to be as cooperative as possible, saying, I
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: was here, I know, I'm ready to face this.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: There's nothing I have done wrong. Now, didn't they find
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: drugs in this room? Still even though he was there, yes,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: literally to turn himself in. Essentially, they found pink baggies
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: of drugs, which the night before his arrest, I mean,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: which given all of these accusations, the bags of drugs
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: are probably like the least serious thing on this list.
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: It was hard to because he had three sons that
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: were there supporting him and just kind of that. It
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: feels like they're partying with him, and they're with him
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: all the time too, right, so it's like, what do
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: they know? They denied his bail, which I was shocked.
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: I was really happy they did that. He's going to
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: be back in court today. There's no trial date, but
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: they're trying to appeal the charges to get him out
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: on bond. I don't see that happening, and I hope
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: it doesn't happen, but.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: No, I don't think so either. Just wow, yeah, wow.
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: And if you want to score big on your birthday,
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: get Travis Kelsey as a friend. I don't know if
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: you saw this or not, and I feel like you're
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: gonna have some thoughts on this. Patrick Mahomes turned twenty
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: nine the other day, and no, he did. Nins is
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: over almost This is what Trav got him.
• 9:53
  Speaker 6: Travis got me.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: Louis Vuitton golf bag, so that was that was gonna
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: be sweet. I don't know how much I can use
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: that on the golf course, but it will be nice
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: to have.
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: I'm glad he acknowledged that. Like, I don't know if
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: I'm actually going to use this on the golf course.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: It's run. I don't know.
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: It's like a twenty five thousand to thirty thousand dollars
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: golf bag.
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: I mean a Louis Vatan gold got it for you
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: to use it. I saw a little too bougie. No,
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: it's fine golf My god.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: I've had the same golf bag for years, and it
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: looks the same today as it did the day I
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: bought it.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: Just use it, You're rich. And it also just feels
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: like really cheesy. I don't know.
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: I don't would you want like a you play for
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: the Chiefs like a Chiefs bag?
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: Now?
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: No, No, that's too like on the nose. These guys
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: can have their own sense of style, all right. And
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: it was a rough day for Trap yesterday. ESPN Steven
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: Smith threw a little shade at Trav.
• 10:45
  Speaker 7: We saw more tal than we saw Travis Kelce yesterday
• 10:48
  Speaker 7: on a Sunday at the noon and any other time
• 10:50
  Speaker 7: that's applicable, then he's.
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: Supposed to happen.
• 10:52
  Speaker 7: Yesterday, were supposed to see more Travis Kelcey, Yesterday he
• 10:55
  Speaker 7: saw that's not happening. You got to get you got
• 10:58
  Speaker 7: to get it going. Bro, you got thirty nine receiving
• 10:59
  Speaker 7: yard in the first two games. Come on, now his
• 11:01
  Speaker 7: tie football season? Is he honeymoons over? Let's handle our business. Okay,
• 11:06
  Speaker 7: Well that's not nice.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: I don't know why that had me rolling. But he's
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: a funny guy.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: The honeymoon is over. Come up with thirty eight. Yeah,
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: he's been very quiet, but then again, he's thirty five.
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: I mean, even when he's running the play that he
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: I think he got thirty nine yards, it was like
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: crazy and just it just looked like he was slow
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: motion compared to some of these guys just going.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: And there's nothing wrong with that. He's also a big guy.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: He's a tight end. Yeah, he's not Tyreek Hill out there.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: I mean he's never been a burner. Yeah, you know,
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: but a burner what I've never heard that term means
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: a fast person people get. You know, some people call
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: me a burner. Amanda back in the day or now.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: I think. I don't know if I've lost a step.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: You know, I haven't run a forty in a while.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: But I imagine it's about to say get.
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: A man in the morning seven.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: Dream job alert. You're looking to make some quick care.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: This is a study for you.
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: I know some people are hesitant about doing studies, but
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: this one there's no pills, there's no injections. Literally a
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: sleep study that you can make eighteen thousand dollars. Okay,
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: holy smokes, Now here's the deal. Here's what they want
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: you to do. You need to stay in bed for
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: two months. Oh gosh, no way. Yeah, I know how
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: you all hate being in bed. No, but for two months.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: Couldn't do it. I had appendicitis about a year and
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: a half ago. Yes, sorry to hear that, remember that.
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and when that appendice I has had to go, Well,
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: when they took up my appendix I had, I think
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: it was like a Saturday or Sunday morning procedure and
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: I was in bed for a day and a half
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: and that about killed me, Like I could not just
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: because you have to stay in.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: Bed, you cannot get out of bed.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: And here's the reason why this is not just some
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: willy nilly study. This is very important research to find
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: the effects that weightlessness has on our astronauts while in space.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: So essentially, if you're you know, experiencing weightlessness like you
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: do in a zero gravity setting such as outer space, oh,
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: my back.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: Would hurt so bad just thinking about it.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: Well, they say the idea is that they want to
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: essentially see what like your muscles deteriorating, like what happens
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: your body when you're in bed for that long sounds glory.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: Your feet have to be above your head, so just
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: like a slight decline, which to me makes me dizzy.
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: Thinking about it. You can't get out of bed. So
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: I'm guessing any bathroom which's gonna ask just.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: Like hospital treatment, I guess you know, a bedpan or
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: what the vacuum hose up your ear?
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know what I mean.
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: You'd get some good netflixing in, but that's I wouldn't be.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: Able to do it.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: I think I think two months of that you would
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: get to the end of Netflix. It'd be like, sorry,
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: you've watched everything. Well you'd have to toss in some
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: different activities. Yeah, but I mean even then it's not
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: for everybody. The requirements of the study. You gotta be
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: between the ages of twenty and forty five. You have
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: to be in quote excellent health condition. What does that
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: even mean? Well, you gotta wonder. You have to have
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: regular exercise habits. You have to have a BMI a
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: body mass index between twenty and twenty seven. You can't
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: be a smoker, can't have any allergies, you can't even
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: have any dietary restrictions. You have to be a perfect
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: human eighteen grand. I don't think that's gonna be worth
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: it for me, and all in after the two months
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: of just laying in bed, they say there's a period
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: of rehababilitation because you're gonna lose muscle, I mean just
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: laying there, You're gonna feel disgusting, and they're gonna have
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: to build you back up.
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: And for somebody who would fit into this mold, you're
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: already active in doing.
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: Oh it would be frustrating. Yeah, I couldn't no in
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: eighteen grand.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: So all in three months you're looking at what six
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: grand a month, which isn't like it's not a crazy wage.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: I mean you're not doing your litter, not doing anything
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: so it's the easiest money you'll make.
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: But I think i'd.
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: Lose my sanity, yeah somewhere along the way. So what
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: would be the longest you think you could make it?
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: I mean for money, if is money on the line,
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: or is this just me trying to prove something.
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: Let's say that there's money on the line. What is
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: the longest you could go? You think, well, I can
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: do two months. I would do two months if it
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: was it would have to be more than eighteen thousand dollars, okay?
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: Or can I work from bed? Can I work in
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: bed and then also be getting paid eighteen thousand dollars?
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: Sure? Okay? Then yeah? Really well for my family?
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah, gosh, I don't think I could make it more
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: than a week.

  Speaker 4: a Swiss high court that's going to take up the matter.

• 17:34
  Speaker 4: get this back.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: Well, they literally said there's nothing.

  Speaker 1: with plenty of time, like several seconds before the I
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: think it's sixty seconds you have they submitted the appeal,
• 17:59

  Speaker 1: story about Adam Holty, the six foot eleven guy was

  Speaker 1: telling you about sure we have all the time in
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: the night.
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah we do, and I'm sure everybody wants
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: to know. Well, it's a fun story.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: So in college, my freshman year at the Great Minnesota
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: State University of Moorhead Go Drags, my friends and I
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: started a wreck intermural basketball team.
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: I kind of remember this.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, so I'm playing on this basketball team and
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: I'm not very.
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: Good, but some of my friends were for a bowler.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: Well I didn't play basketball, that's I know, that's probably
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: why you think that, correct. I mean, listen, don't get
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: me wrong. I can knock a three down or two
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: like I could. I could shoot. I wasn't gonna play
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: much defense, and I'm certainly not going to drive the lane,
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: but I could shoot anyway. So our team was bad,
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: We're the worst, and the whole thing because a lot
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: of the guys who were in these intermural leagues.
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: Like play No. I thought your team. I thought your
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: team was just resting the other teams.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: The other teams were like basically the year before, they
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: were the starting lineup at a high school and now
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: they're playing chumps like me. So we get to the
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: tournament and we're the last seed because we I don't
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: think we won a game all year. So I schemed
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: it up that for this tournament only, I was going
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: to reach out to a guy who graduated five years
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: before me in high school, who was six foot eleven,
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: Adam Holty.
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: So I was able to get his number from like
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: a friend of a friend of a friend stop imagine surprise,
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: call him. I text him.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: I'm like, hey, Adam, I don't even know if you
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: remember me, but I have a question. What are you
• 24:25

• 24:29
  Speaker 1: some basketball with this team? I'm on tell me he
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: shows up. He was all about it. He showed up.
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: I remember the first team we played was like a
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: bunch of kids from Holly, which is the school right
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: next to us. So all these kids like remember him
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: playing basketball? I remember him walking in. They're like, what
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: is that Adam Holty? What it's Michael Jordan's the whole game,
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: we're just lobbing it up to Adam Holty. He's just
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: throwing it down. I think we still lost. But you
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: were that bad. The one guy couldn't hold the team together.
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: I know it says a lot, says a lot. Thank
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: you for that. We all needed that.

  Speaker 4: think it's because I'm anal about things like this. But
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: they won't pick up coffee when it drips, Yeah, the
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: coffee trip. It's so easy to take a little paper talent,
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: just dab that p Yeah, leave an open cupboard. Just
• 25:52
  Speaker 4: little things like that drive me crazy. But if they're
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: making food, they don't cover it it explodes. Uh, there's
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: a couple of people who like to make pizza in
• 26:01
  Speaker 4: here and you can just see the pizza crumbs all
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: over and just they don't.
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: Wipe it up.
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, or throw dishes in the sink the breakroom. Saying
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: it's like this is obviously a person who as a child,
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: that's what they did. They just had to throw it
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: in there, and somebody would take care of it. Even
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: as an adult. Their wife is probably taken care of
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: it for them.
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: If I said were to have a coffee cup or
• 26:21
  Speaker 4: something like that that I needed washed, I would not
• 26:25
  Speaker 4: just leave it in the sink here. I'd either hand
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: wash it real quick if I didn't have time to
• 26:29
  Speaker 4: unload the full dishwasher, or it would just bring my
• 26:31
  Speaker 4: cup back to my office and figure it out.
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: You know, I would just leave it loaded.
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: Gossip being number two on the list of most annoying
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: cowork behaviors. See people like to say they don't like it,
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: but they love doing it, for sure. Everyone loves it.
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: Everyone loves a good piece of hot goss using inappropriate
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: language somehow in at number three, I don't know. I
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: think there could be more of that in the workplace.
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: It kind of kind of humanizes the whole thing.
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think we're probably a little bit more lo
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: see goosey over here than you know most people, you think.
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: So there, I'm not saying we don't have a professional
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: work setting. I feel like we're split. We have one side,
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: you know, that's really and then there's.
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: The other side.
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: So we must have the silly geese who are on
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: the radio, and then the other side of the building
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: are the salespeople and more administrative. But I feel like,
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: I mean, I know plenty of teachers and nurses and
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: all of that, and I think people are people regardless
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: of the how they're doing. While they might like in
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: meetings they put on a face. It's so funny when
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: you know somebody who's like really high up at a
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: company and you can imagine that they're doing these like
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: presentations and leading meetings, and then you get them outside
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: of work and they're just the same this yeah, yeah, exactly.
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: And then also being unresponsive to messages the most annoying
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: workplace behavior.
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: Nothing worse than if you send like an email or
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: you do something and you're waiting for a response, but
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: then you see somebody, especially in the world of social media. Yeah,
• 27:57
  Speaker 4: post something and you're like really. But at the same time,
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: it depends on the type of day. Like if it's
• 28:02
  Speaker 4: during work hours and you notice it, that's different, Well,
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: that is going to bother you. If it's in the evening,
• 28:07
  Speaker 4: who cares because it's okay, you.
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: Don't need to.
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there is an obligation, like during your worktime, probably
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: be relatively responsive, you know, correctly. Yeah, if I can
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: email at nine o'clock at night, first of all, I'm like,
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: what are you doing? Go be with your family, you know,
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: And I'm no, I'm not responding to that.
• 28:23
  Speaker 5: Like, get Amanda in the morning.
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: Come on, get up on Big eight seven.
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: Big ninety eight point seven, today's variety. It's piking Amanda
• 28:31

• 28:35

• 28:36
  Speaker 1: Well, we wanted to bring a couple of people into
• 28:37

• 28:40

• 28:42
  Speaker 1: every once in a while, locally there's somebody who just

  Speaker 8: So he was outstanding.
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: It was an on privilege to be.
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: Able to work with him. Yeah, that's such a selfless
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: job to do, like you said, and then to be
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: passing it along to smaller communities and the education aspect
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: of it. He just sounds like a great guy. And
• 30:00

  Speaker 1: but just everything I've read and everything you shared, Nicole,
• 30:04

  Speaker 6: rapidly within a few weeks. In January, he was diagnosed
• 30:23
  Speaker 6: with a wear autoimmune disease called immune mediated necrotizing myopathy,
• 30:28
  Speaker 6: the disease that just literally eats the muscles inside the
• 30:31
  Speaker 6: body and then eventually affected his hearts.

  Speaker 4: here is because you guys have had this plan for
• 30:56
  Speaker 4: a while. There is going to be a benefit because
