Relationship Goals for 2024 · Podcast - Big 98.7

0:00
Do you have like a relationship goal for twenty twenty four? A lot of
0:04
people do New Year's resolutions, but those are very personal. Do you have
0:07
a goal for your your relationship? So before we get to that, I
0:11
want to talk about the survey that was done here about people's relationship goals for
0:15
twenty twenty four. You know, people talk a lot about like media and
0:18
like pushing agendas and trying to form the public's opinions. You know what I
0:22
mean. I don't want to get into all that, but this is an
0:24
example of that. Not the media, but a meat company. This is
0:28
a survey done by Godshaw's Quality Meats Amanda, and you know what they discovered
0:32
were people's biggest relationship goals for twenty twenty four. Sorry, I'm really trying
0:36
to understand this, but why is a meat company telling me about my relationship?
0:40
Just companies, they like to conduct surveys and in this case what this
0:44
Quality Meats company conducted a relationship goal survey and number one, believe it or
0:49
not, with a resounding fifty per seven percent of people couples say they want
0:53
to make more ethical food choices. That was number one. Yeah, what,
0:59
well, I mean, don't be. So you tell me if I
1:00
had asked you and Nick what your goal for twenty twenty four was, he
1:04
wouldn't have said to make more ethical food choices. No, you know what
1:07
I'm guessing You're not. Got a hunch is that Godshall's Quality Meats probably is
1:11
pushing the fact that they make ethical food choices. I'm guessing, so that's
1:14
my suspicion. But number two, they said, couples are also saying,
1:18
and this is it's right behind a fifty six percent, they'd like to develop
1:22
more eco friendly daily habits. And I know I've heard you say that out
1:26
loud, that you and Nick are trying to make more equals daily company must
1:30
have, well something in our bedroom. This was some pillow talk we were
1:34
having last right, Yeah, they must have a hidden hidden camera in the
1:38
room. This is bizarre. And number three, obviously, couples are saying
1:42
in twenty twenty four they'd like to limit their red meat consumption. This is
1:49
a survey done by the meat company. So that said, okay, those
1:53
are the three obvious ones. Was there anything on there about the way we
1:57
should not attend every meat raffling town? They say, Yeah, what number
2:01
four was that? You should exclusively be purchasing me from Godshaw's quality. Oh
2:08
my gosh. And I know that's been number one for Lauren and I for
2:12
a lot for years now. We've been striving for that. But we'll get
2:15
there. But all those aside, Amanda, do you have a relationship goal?
2:19
And if you want to chime in with maybe your relationship goal? Phones
2:21
always open seven one ninety eight seven. What would most be? I think
2:24
Nick and I always try to do the golden rule of like still dating each
2:30
other. Golden rule, that's not the one I know what's rule? Well,
2:36
I'm treating others how you'd like to be treated, right, But in
2:38
a relationship, it'd be nice to continue to date more, I mean,
2:43
go out on dates, actually taking more time away from our kids. It's
2:46
just it gets to be challenging, all right, spend less time with your
2:50
kids, got it? It's a good goal. A good goal, Aman
2:57
is striving in twenty twenty four get them away from a No, but kids
3:01
could easy alone TOI. We just really we really need some us time,
3:07
and it is it is hard to do because the days just get away from
3:12
us and sometimes we'll look and goo, been a minute. I mean listen.
3:15
I can imagine. I can imagine. Now. Conversely, Lauren and
3:20
I were trying to spend less time together in twenty twenty four. Oh,
3:23
stop it, you already you already do that with your extra career when you
3:27
don't have what do you mean you oh, when I'm away? And yeah,
3:30
like you have a lot of side hustles, just busy bee. But
3:35
Amanda, I would say ours are largely financial, you know, like we're
3:38
trying to be adults now, trying to save and build a little bit of
3:42
a you know, an emergency fund and debt, paying off debt, trying
3:46
to pay you know, a car loan, things like that. Yeah,
3:49
we had all of that ready to go, and then we had kids,
3:51
and it's just weird. It got siphoned completely away. Just by the way,
3:55
did you tell her that you gambled this weekend while you were gone?
3:59
You know what? I hate to admit this, but I did gamble.
4:02
Now, I never said I was done gambling forever, but you did.
4:05
I mean, not that I'm calling you out, but did you tell her
4:08
you did? I had to, I was my hand was forced because we
4:13
went to the casino. My friend and I wear away in Omaha, doing
4:15
a little work trip, and so we go to this casino and I had
4:19
another card that is just mine, right, and I thought, oh,
4:23
I have some money on there. So not that I wouldn't have sent anything,
4:27
but at the very least she wasn't going to look at our shared checking
4:30
account be like, oh geez, somebody had a visit to the ATM and
4:32
Harah's in Omaha. But it didn't work, so I had to use I
4:38
was forced to use our shared account, so I had to say, oh,
4:41
She's like, oh, what did you do? Probably a good thing,
4:43
a good karma now. Thank god I won, So that made the
4:46
conversation a little easier. She likes she's not as mad, believe it or
4:49
not when I say, yeah, I actually want some money, all right,
4:53
So the financial thing is going good. So far, so far,
4:56
so good. Yeah, if I just keep winning at the casino. Fingis
4:58
Sony going to get better? Amanda in the morning, Big ninety eight point
5:01
seven? Oh no, Amanda stills the sea. Let's see brought to buy
5:06
Valley Service Mechanical. The only reason I tuned in last night is because it
5:12
was right after football, and I'm like, oh, I'll give the monologue,
5:15
a peek. Usually that's how you can determine whether or not an award
5:17
show is going to be good. But now, what was last night?
5:19
This was the Golden Globe Awards, which is for movies. Yes, and
5:24
it is not the Oscars. It is not the Oscar. What's the difference?
5:27
Why are we doing that? One's a Golden Globe, one's an Oscar.
5:30
Literally, that's all. You're welcome. Yeah, hard hitting news for
5:33
the elaborate explanation, Now I get it. I also was tuning in because
5:38
I knew Taylor Swift was going to be there, and honestly wanted to know
5:41
whether or not Travis Kelsey was going to be with her, even though because
5:44
there were some rumors that maybe they'd be walking the red carpet together, because
5:46
he was also there because he was playing football against the Chargers. Long story
5:51
show, and he was an ass weird, but he had a game,
5:55
had a football game. He's focused on that. She's serviced on this.
5:58
She's there for her movie, the concert movie. Yeah, there was like
6:00
eight nominations for that, for cinematata, cinematic amatid, for tada something like
6:06
that. So anyway, start watching it and I look at the screen,
6:11
like, who is this guy? I had no idea who Joekoy was.
6:15
And I felt bad for him because he just kept trying and trying, and
6:17
every time he'd make a joke, they'd panned to Kevin Costner, Merle Streep,
6:21
whoever it was, and he just kept getting worse and worse and worse.
6:26
It got so bad that this ended up happening. The key moment in
6:29
Barbie is when she goes from perfect beauty to bad breast cell you light and
6:32
flat feet, ah or what casting directors call character actor? Right? I
6:40
wrote, Some other people wrote Robert de Niro's here, Yo, I got
6:44
the gig ten days ago. You want a perfect monologue? Yo, shut
6:47
up, you got you're kidding me right, slow down? I wrote somebody's
6:53
and they're the ones you're laughing at. Look. I mean, I feel
6:55
for him because, yeah, you got the job ten days ago, because
6:59
nobody wants Nobody wants to be ridiculed. Because I don't care who you are.
7:01
You could be the funniest man alive. You're gonna rub somebody the wrong
7:04
way. And he very well, maybe very funny. He's a stand up
7:08
comedian. That's all I know. About him, but that was so unfunny,
7:11
and the little giggles he does after each line that makes it even worse.
7:15
He thinks he's funny. He thinks it's funny. I know a girl
7:16
who lives her life that way, do you? I do? He laughs
7:20
at everything they say are hilarious, funny. I feel you, Joe,
7:26
by the way, Oh yeah, Taylor Swift was there and there was a
7:30
point that he tried to be funny one more time. And this one is
7:32
going viral only because it's Taylor Swift and everybody thinks, oh, she's so
7:36
upset about it. No, she's not. She's playing along with a joke.
7:40
Listen. As you know, we came on after a football double header.
7:44
The big difference between the Golden Globes and the NFL. On the Golden
7:47
Globes, we have fewer camber shots of Taylor Swift. I swear, there's
7:51
just where to go to. Sorry about that, and sorry about that?
7:57
What like it was such a riscaue joke. It's not even a joke.
8:01
It's what it's like, a knock knock joke these days, truly. Yeah,
8:05
I heard a good knock knock joke lately. I haven't I wish,
8:09
I wish I had one for you. No, I know, I know
8:11
how it goes, I know the formatics of it sens for you. Jody
8:16
Foster is sharing her thoughts on gen Z and a new interview, she said
8:20
that she finds the younger generation to be just simply annoying. She says,
8:24
they're really annoying, especially in the workplace. They're like, nah, I'm
8:26
not feeling it today, I'm gonna come in at ten thirty. She also
8:30
called them up for their lack of spelling and grammar. She says, we're
8:33
like an emails, I'll tell them this is grammatically incorrect. Did you not
8:37
check your spelling? And they're like, why would I do that? Isn't
8:39
that kind of limiting? I just don't like to engage in the conversation of
8:43
like which generation is better? Every generation does things differently, and that's hard
8:48
to accept for the generations before you know whether it's good or bad, fair,
8:52
and a lot like every generation learns from the people older than them.
8:56
So there's things jen Z does that I'm like, yeah, go oh,
9:00
good glad that's changing. As what, Pike, do you have any anything?
9:03
I mean, there's just so many things with work right, like work
9:05
life balance, boundaries, things saying no to things, things like that.
9:09
They're all I think good now, like just showing up at ten thirty because
9:13
he didn't want to come in, Like that's I think we can all agree
9:16
a little annoying, Oh totally. But then you look at, for instance,
9:18
one person that came to mind, who I guess would be considered a
9:22
boomer now, which is hilarious, Johnny Depp. He kind of ended up
9:24
being that guy. He's like, Eh, did this? Did that?
9:26
I'm coming when I want to. Well, that's just being a bad boy.
9:30
I mean that, like me and Travis Kelsey's worth about forty million dollars.
9:35
But somebody did a little math, and I guess Taylor Swift's cat,
9:39
Olivia Benson is worth way more than Travis Kelce in fact, over double really.
9:46
So she adopted this cat. She adapted Olivia Benson back in twenty fourteen.
9:52
And this cat is one of the world's richest cats. I should probably
9:56
look into what other cats are rich cat Williams, do you see what he
10:01
said? No? You know that is will you. He's also a comedian
10:03
actor. He's in like Friday and some of these movies. Oh yeah,
10:07
yeah, yeah. Anyway, so he like went on a tear on this
10:09
podcast about a bunch of other like Chris Tucker was Steve Harvey anyway. So
10:13
that's a cat who probably has a little money. But this cat is even
10:16
richer, I'm sure. Yeah, no, this cat, Taylor Swift's cat
10:20
is worth about ninety seven million dollars. Does this cat have endorsements? It
10:24
must, I mean, I can't talk about this cat out of a lineup.
10:26
If I'm meow Mix or i ams, that's your top prospect as far
10:31
as celebrity endorsment. Well, the best cat food of all time is neutral
10:35
source, so locally owned here in Oh yeah, well I I have to
10:39
support a local company if I had a cat. Yeah, don't have a
10:43
cat either, but my mom is cat's Yeah, my mom is a cat
10:46
named Craig. He's not doing well. So if you could keep them in
10:48
your thoughts, oh no, okay. I also love when people name their
10:52
pets just old guy names, like I wanted a boy dog for this.
10:56
I wanted to name a dog this is Greg know that kind of thing,
11:00
right, I know we've already been talking for quite some time, but It's
11:01
a funny story because so my friend and I in high school. His dad
11:05
name. His dad's name is Craig. He's like the athletic director. He
11:07
was at DGF. You know, love Craig. Craig to this day one
11:11
of the best people in my life. But we thought it'd be funny to
11:15
name the cat my mom had got at that time. So now me and
11:16
high school we're talking, you know, fourteen years ago, so we named
11:20
this cat Craig. Well, Craig is still living today. This is Craig.
11:24
Yes, So Craig not doing well, as I said, not doing
11:28
well at all. And so recently my dad passed away. We're at the
11:31
funeral, and so my mom and I were talking at the church beforehand in
11:35
Craig, my buddy's dad and his wife showed up and which was awesome.
11:39
And so he comes up to talk to us, and my mom she would
11:41
never claim to be the most like you know, traditional mom, like very
11:43
silly, yep, as you can imagine. And so Craig walks up and
11:46
the first thing my mom says to Craig, she goes, Craig's not doing
11:50
very well. And Craig, mind you, the dad he has no idea
11:56
that we named a cat after him, And so the look on his and
12:00
look on my face because I hadn't put it together yet, and also it's
12:03
kind of it's almost like she's probably looking at him as though I'm psychic and
12:09
you're not doing well. I want you to know Craig's not. And he's
12:13
like ah, and I'm like, oh god, and it clicked. Now
12:20
at the funeral, emotions are high, and now I'm having to explain to
12:24
my friend's dad that fifteen years ago we thought it would be funny and also
12:28
hilarious, like if anybody needs a good icebreaker, let's talk about a sick
12:33
dat at a funeral. Well, anyway, I hope you're doing well,
12:35
Thanks for coming, Thanks for coming. Taking Amanda in the morning Monday morning,
12:43
we do this a little number we call is it weird? Because we're
12:46
weird people, admittedly, but how weird we find out? We find these
12:50
little things that you just think to yourself, I don't know, is this
12:52
just me? Where's everybody doing this? Amanda? Go ahead? So on
12:56
Friday I get home and I'm like, oh my gosh, it was a
12:58
little chili. I'm like, I'm gonna whip up some chili. Perfect,
13:03
whipped it up in my husband's like, oh yeah, I'm gonna make some
13:05
cinnamon rolls. What are you a lunatic? Like? Why are we making
13:11
cinnamon rolls? Is this just your chance to tell everybody how great your husband
13:15
is? No, just a just a cinnamon roll guy. Now, okay,
13:20
he opened the Pillsbury cinnamon rolls and plopped him in the oven. It's
13:24
a friend, It's still effort. And then he said, we're eating these
13:28
with our chili. Okay, No, no, I whipped it up real
13:33
quick. Chili's the easiest to make. Well, he's talking about you whipped
13:35
it up real quick. It takes fifteen minutes tops. No, you have
13:39
to slow cook it for eight hours? Have I been? That's not You're
13:43
doing this all wrong. You ground up the hamburger really quick. Well sure,
13:46
so. Also, this is weird that it takes you this long toss
13:48
in the chili, seasoning tomatoes. I know what goes in chili. I'm
13:52
just saying, slow cook, that's it. I didn't have to. No,
13:56
it took me ten minutes. You don't have the benefit then of the
13:58
house all day long, just that chili simmering, no mag of the house
14:01
smell delicious. My husband ruined the chili smell because he made it with cinnamon
14:05
rolls, so everything was all sweet, and I thought he was crazy.
14:07
I'm like, there's no way people are doing this. So I tried it.
14:11
Well, you know, you're saying, what do you mean with it?
14:15
Literally, you have a bowl of chili and you put the cinnamon roll
14:16
in it in it and you eat it chili. Yes, you know how
14:20
some people do corn bread. Some people put onions, cheese, sour cream
14:24
whatever on it, saltine crackers. Yeah, he puts cinnamon rolls in his
14:28
chili and you're wondering if that's weird. Absolutely I thought it was weird.
14:33
Yeah, I'm gonna go with weird. Now. I will say having like
14:37
a good corn bread muffin or even like a blueberrim, I get like having
14:39
a little sweet muffin with the chili, But to put it in there is
14:43
this banana's behavior. So tried it. It was amazing because it's that sweet
14:48
spicy, and I always add a little bit of slap yomama on my chili
14:52
so makes it a little bit more spicy. So good. It's just one
14:56
of those things. It's like mint ice cream. My mint ice cream theory
14:58
is that. Yeah, I like you say, a man, it was
15:00
good, but it's only good because it's chilly like, it's not as good.
15:03
Same with Min's ice cream. People only like it because well it's ice
15:07
cream. It's not good ice cream, but it's ice cream. Oh see,
15:09
I would go mint over anything mint or oreo orio mint, that kind
15:13
of thing. Okay, all right, Well anyway, well I have one
15:16
that somebody wrote in Okay, man, So this is a bit of a
15:18
celebrity spot for one of our listeners, whose name is Matt. He wrote
15:22
in he said, my wife asked me today if I've ever had to itch
15:26
the top of my mouth with my tongue. Oh, sadly, she says
15:30
it's itchy sometimes, Matt He said, I've never itched the roof of my
15:35
mouth with or without my tongue. So he wants to know if this is
15:39
normal or if this is weird. So that is one of the have you
15:41
ever done that? I do like that. You know, if she about
15:46
it itchy roof of your mouth, it's a weird sensation and it hits you
15:50
out of nowhere. I would say maybe once maybe twice a year. It's
15:56
not like a daily sense. But when it happens, you're like, oh,
15:58
there's there's that thing again. Yes, but it is. It's like
16:02
a tickle and it's like you almost want to take a tooth pressure or something.
16:06
You know, but oh, I done that really now with the old
16:08
reverse toothbrushing where you brush the roof of your mouth and try not to throw
16:11
up. By the way, we are live on Facebook and Megan said,
16:15
the cinnamon roll and the chili is a staple from lunch growing up. And
16:18
my husband said, this is like a normal thing that they do in Iowa.
16:22
Really, I was in Iowa this weekend. Yeah, weird folks,
16:26
weird people. They didn't have the cinnamon roll in the chili or you just
16:30
didn't have chili. No, they all running around brush prushing the roofs of
16:34
their mouth. Though. Gosh, that is a funny one that he brings
16:37
up because it's one of those things where it's like one of those physical things
16:41
that happened to everybody, but you don't really talk about it. You know.
16:44
It's like a lot of bathroom stuff too, where you'd be maybe that's
16:47
just the boys that talk about that do. Yeah. Yeah, Were's like,
16:49
oh, oh that happens to you too. Oh weird? Do you
16:52
snapchat that, Maddie? Is it weird? Because I take you for the
16:56
Is it weird? The guy who snapchats to your boys your bathroom? Don't
17:00
let your husband. No, I will say, as gross as I am
17:03
in vulgar at times, I draw the line at snapchatting bathroom stuff. Your
17:08
husband, though I know is a frequent bathroom guy. Huh did he not?
17:12
Did he not? Your husband? And I hate to do this because
17:15
we're already making a look like this great guy just who just whips up cinnamon
17:18
rolls on a Saturday. But did he not video himself go into the bathroom?
17:22
I mean it's censored, but it was the act of going to the
17:26
bathroom at the very least. Do you not remember this? It is like
17:29
a happy hour two weeks ago. What why am I missing all of you?
17:33
The one that told me you said your husband was going number one and
17:37
there's just a video of it. I do not remember this at all.
17:40
I see what you're doing. Yeah in the Golden Globe. Also really quick,
17:48
Allie chiming in because Matt wanted to know about the itchy mouth thing.
17:51
She says, that's because you have a food allergy. Is diagnosing all of
17:55
us crazy people that there is a food allergy, Is that right? Well,
17:59
it was making it. It makes you. If you're on Facebook live,
18:00
you see me fingering the roof of my mouth here. But it's like
18:03
a and you gotta go. You know, it's a weird sensation. One
18:07
more time? All right, yeah, no, good, Now here's what
18:12
you need to know. Well, let me ask you, would you ever
18:15
get on a flight again if you were a part of this Alaskan Airlines flight
18:19
that made an emergency landing on Friday when one of the windows flew out.
18:25
One of the plane's windows just completely blew out. They were thirty five minutes
18:29
up in the air, of course they had emergency landing. Witnesses say that
18:33
their phones, personal belongings were completely sucked out of this missing window. There
18:37
was a child that had to be held in his seat by his mom.
18:40
Thankfully nobody was injured. One passenger was that's why the hospital. You know,
18:44
people get annoyed when they make you buckle up and that seatbelt light turns
18:47
on, But for reasons like this, Oh my gosh, a school teacher.
18:51
I guess over the weekend found a missing door plug. Another person found
18:53
a cell phone on the side of the road. Somebody else in their backyard
18:56
there was a cell phone. Just from missing items a question. Could you
19:00
suck a man through that window? I guess it depends on how how big
19:04
the window is, because his body get I think because of the pressure.
19:08
Yes, you know what I mean. I don't care how big you are.
19:12
You're gonna be able really like you because of the pressure, you're gonna
19:18
be able to I don't know. You think because of the pressure that those
19:22
times. I'm looking at the TV screen right now, these windows are tiny.
19:25
I don't think you could get a man through there. I don't think
19:27
there's any chance that you could suck a man through. Do you think only
19:30
a little kid? Personal? Although I did one of the old what's the
19:33
Freddy Krueger movie? What's that called? Nightmare on Elm Street? Okay,
19:37
there's a scene. It's hilariously you know, like old movies. Sometimes you
19:40
watch them and it's like, oh, things weren't quite as good. Yeah.
19:41
The mom is like waving good bye to their kids as they drive away,
19:45
and it's the end of the movie. And then you know, the
19:45
scary music comes in in a hand. Obviously, Freddy's hand reaches through the
19:49
tiny window, even smaller than that of an airplane, and just suddenly her
19:53
body turns into like a rag doll just takes her away. It just takes
19:56
her. Did you like that story? Yeah, thank you for that.
20:00
Thanks for bringing me back to a nightmare on Elm Street. I got more
20:04
really needed that today. All right, are you a Stanley user? I
20:07
do not have a Stanley. You can mark me safe from having one of
20:11
those. But Stanley is limited edition insulated cups. People are selling them for
20:17
like four hundred dollars a pop right now, and it is all because of
20:18
the Gallantine's Day collection. It was a winter peak Starbucks color, kind of
20:22
a glittery color. They only sold them at Target. There was a limited
20:26
number of them and they were forty five bucks sold out. Now people are
20:30
trying to hack him for four hundred bucks. That is insane to me.
20:33
Well, it is. It's a water bottle. There's that. I have
20:37
a couple of knockoff versions. Isn't that weird? You know? You feel
20:41
like water bottle is something that like brand, you know, because clothing I
20:44
get people like certain brands and adds value to the clothes. But a water
20:48
bottle, what's next? A designer fork? You know? It's funny though.
20:52
My daughter, what is she four? She don't ask me, she's
20:56
four. Let me say this was called with confidence. My daughter, who
21:02
is four, we were at the doctor's office the other day and after her
21:06
appointment, they let you pick out a bunch of different like whatever toy you
21:10
want. Yeah, there was a water bottle and my daughter got geeked out.
21:14
She's like, oh, a water bottle. You're going with the water
21:17
bottle? She just loved it. What a weird thing? Water bottle?
21:21
It's I don't know. I don't listen. I'm just glad people are hydrated.
21:25
Well, there's a lot of dads going. I've had Stanley in my
21:27
life for years. I mean, Stanley the company has been around forever.
21:30
I never connected those dots. That's the same company that would make like,
21:33
what a screwdriver? Do you think they were really sucking man through that window?
21:40
Just wait, Stanley? I was thinking still the thermes Stanley also,
21:47
can you look this up? While we talked football? Here in a seconds.
21:49
Stanley also do like work related like hammers, and it sound it sure
21:55
sounds like a company that would make like tool boxes. Okay, look anyway,
21:59
sound to go the state. Yesterday they were in the FCS Championship and
22:03
they ended up winning. This is their second straight national championship, but they
22:07
will not get a third. I feel like the dynasty as back. It
22:10
looks like the Bison are ready to uh it's a rocket this year of course.
22:14
Stanley, Yeah, they make like a tape measures, okay, utility
22:17
knives, hammers, handsaws, and now how appealing is it? Now?
22:22
Now they just need to start doing like a you because now they have on
22:25
the Stanley's you can put your like CHARCOUTERI cup on top of it where you
22:27
can put snacks, which is ridiculous. Now if you just get like a
22:30
tape measure and a hammer on your Stanley and walk around, yeah, it
22:33
just kind of like a is that what you just said? Like sort of
22:36
universe Swiss Swiss army water bottle you got you gotta meet thermometersty not the end
22:42
of the And I didn't realize it yesterday when we were walking into church,
22:48
I had my big water bottle and it goes, Do you know how dumb
22:51
you look yeah, like you're just you're serious, Like I left the purse
22:56
in the car, I'm just carrying this water bottle. And he just said,
23:00
there's just so ridiculous. Why do you mean this big, huge water
23:04
box so you can take a sip of water halfway through the sermon? And
23:08
I went up to go to the bathroom three times, so I was hydrated.
23:11
But probably missed some really good life lessons yesterday at service because of sand
23:15
light or I'm not got consumed by this water bottle craze. What a life?
23:21
Did you mention the football game I mentioned? Did you just talk about
23:25
I didn't talk about the NFL? Okay, because the NFL, the season's
23:27
over, the Viking season is done. The Packers do have another game next
23:32
weekend, and it's called the playoffs. Gosh, I was rooting for the
23:34
Bears so hard yesterday, along with probably everybody listening right now besides a couple
23:40
of yeah that was me. Listen. I don't want to get too into
23:42
it. This isn't an NFL program. It's nauseating, but I'm just excited.
23:47
I'm just happy for the team, happy for the fans, the owners,
23:49
which is me and my wife, by the way, Hey, by
23:52
the way, is what the Packers all season And now you're like, oh,
23:55
well, you know what the joy brings, the joy, the satisfaction
23:57
of you know, like they say, like, oh we kept the receipts.
24:00
A lot of people hate and doubting. And for those people thinking right
24:03
now, it's just football, pike, it's stupid. It makes me happy.
24:07
That's all that matters. You have things in your life that make you
24:10
happy, and I'm glad I enjoy this and I'm enjoying it now mostly Claudia
24:15
today, high of twenty. Looking ahead of your forecast. By Wednesday,
24:18
we actually could get a little bit of snow, maybe one to three inches.
24:21
You know, now that I'm looking at an airplane window, I think
24:22
you probably could suck Amman through that pike it a minu in the morning on
24:29
Big nuety eight point seven. We had a great weekend. We did a
24:30
lot of things in two days. But our kids are in that age where
24:36
we want to keep them active because we just don't want to keep them home
24:37
all the time because in the time of the year, yeah, there's just
24:40
not a lot to do. So one of the things we decided to finally
24:42
take our kids to a movie. Have not done this yet? Oh fun.
24:47
Yes, we were going to do trolls. That was kind of my
24:48
thing, but the holidays kind of got away from us. Did you go
24:52
to West Acres or a Century ten? We went to Century ten or it's
24:56
the Dollar Theater more, it's not the Fari is not a thing, right,
25:00
you know, I'm honestly not sure if somebody knows been to the movie
25:03
since Fifty Shades of Gray and boy has kicked you off? Okay, my
25:14
life has changed, all right, a lot of things. I want to
25:15
stay ragmatically. Yeah. So yeah, my girlfriend and I decided to take
25:19
our kids, so there were five kids to adults, and we went over
25:22
to see the movie Migration. What is that? Percute movie? It's about
25:26
a bunch of Mallards who are migrating. They want to make their way to
25:30
Jamaica. Misleading title migration. Oh a lot of immigration. Yeah, they
25:36
were trying to immigration. It seems like a heavy subject, but okay,
25:41
that's what it was. It was really really cute anyway. First of all,
25:45
this is how it started. I'll get to the embarrassing thing my son
25:48
did here in a second. But my girlfriend text me She's like, hey,
25:52
are you bringing blankets? I'm like, like, for it because it's
25:55
cold outside for my kids in their car seats. What are you talking about
25:57
an emergency? No, we have a couple in our car, and she
26:02
goes, no, for the movie, you bring blankets to the movie.
26:07
This is again, I haven't been to a theater since Fifty Shades of Gray,
26:11
and I hadn't been since they had dream loungers. I had no idea.
26:15
So first of all, yes, dream what dream loungers? So it's
26:18
been a while for me to explain those to me. So you go to
26:21
the movie, and it's not just the stadium seating that we're used to where
26:23
you're like, my back, Kurt, you're trying to get company of that.
26:27
No dream loungers, You lay back. You might as well just take
26:30
a little snooze, which is why people are bringing blankets. I mean people
26:33
are just hauling stuff in like they're doing a sleepover. Really mind blowing to
26:38
me. But the setup was great because when you have little kids, they're
26:41
kind of walking around doing their thing. You're not really interrupting anybody except for
26:47
when your son as soon as the movie starts. Now, remember his dad
26:51
is a big hunter, like duck hunter, stare hunting, yep, all
26:53
of that. The movie comes on, and I don't think he really understood
26:56
because he's three, what the movie was gonna be about. He had,
27:00
you know, seen the previous for it, but wasn't quite sure that there
27:03
was gonna be a bunch of ducks for that's what I'm saying, the word
27:06
migration for a kid's movie. It's like, did they know that they heard
27:10
that word before? Right? Anyway, they learned all about it. So
27:12
he stands up on his dream lounger and he goes, oh, no,
27:18
no, no. So he's like, think of old school duck hunter in
27:25
a theater on the theater, but again it's not like the stadium seating.
27:27
So hopefully he didn't disrupt anybody. And I'm like, okay, chill,
27:30
honey, you're gonna have to sit here. So I passed the popcorn to
27:33
distract him for a little. They got a little antsy, but anyway,
27:37
Yeah, he's hilarious. That's a good lesson for the kiddo. Any sort
27:41
of gun imagery, my gosh, I didn't even think about that. You
27:45
didn't know if somebody stands up in a movie theater and starts pretending to I'm
27:49
gonna panic, I'm gonna get a little uneasy. Oh my god, seeing
27:55
in my head, all I'm thinking of is just him being a cute little
27:59
three year old boy. And that's what it was. Of course. Gosh,
28:00
no, it didn't even dawn on unfortunate it was like a terrorist situation.
28:04
Jeez, I trust that it wasn't. No. But anyway, it
28:10
was adorable. Oh man, But they enjoyed it. Did they stay awake
28:12
the whole movie? They did? Yeah, they got a long nap beforehand.
28:15
Like I said, they started getting a little antsy. But and then
28:18
it's so loud. Can you turn the volume down? I'm like, oh,
28:22
poor kiddo, you can't do that. That's it. I mean,
28:23
that's the one thing I was just thinking about this weekend, the one reason
28:26
I'd go back to a movie. It's like, obviously the big screen,
28:29
but everybody has big TV's now. Yeah, it's the sound, the audio
28:33
experience in a movie theater. It's like none other. For me. It's
28:36
all about the dream lounger I gets, bring up blanky, Now, I
28:40
do have some unfortunate news to break here. I got a message from Doug
28:42
who said, in regards to Safari Theater, I was asking if it was
28:45
still open. Yeah it is not, he said, it's closed. It
28:48
has been for some time, I guess, and it's now at church.
28:52
Oh. By the way, I do realize why everybody goes on Tuesdays now?
28:56
Why it's not cheap going to the theater? Oh no, did you
29:00
get popcorn? Huh? Candy mm hmmm, soda mm hmm. Jeez?
29:07
And movie tickets in the dream lounders on the ultra screen. What's your side?
29:11
Hustle? Like get Amanda in the morning, get up on Big seven.
29:18
You lied to your kids, deep admit it. As much you lied
29:19
to your kids about certain things right here and there. A lot of it
29:22
has to do with the park, the hours of the park. I love
29:26
that certain things like that were Like yesterday, Nick, just because the kids
29:30
have been wanting to go ice skating because we lived behind a pond and they
29:33
had never or in an ice drink and they'd never really been excited about it.
29:37
And yesterday, for some reason, like we want to go buy ice
29:41
skates, let's go do this. Well, we know your kids three.
29:45
Yeah, he's saying, I want to go ice skating three and four,
29:48
and that's like all up, they're super excited about it. I could very
29:52
easily go get the ice skates and go do this, but I also just
29:56
know the reality of it. We're gonna buy them, they're gonna try it
29:57
once, they're gonna be cold, they're not gonna want to ice skate because
30:00
they're still young, and it's just gonna be a whole debacle by the time
30:04
we get over there never gonna be used. Like the pair that is in
30:07
our garage right now that probably should sell and it was just a waste of
30:11
money. Like they're just are they never gonna use amain or are they gonna
30:14
go on to fall deeply in love with the sport and become Olympic athletes?
30:18
Yeah? Definitely she are you? I mean, how do you be doing
30:21
triple sal cows by March? Yes, she's not gonna sew cow? How
30:25
do I know? And maybe, but I just know that they're young enough
30:27
right now where it's just, you know, they're my kids. I kind
30:30
of just know, so you're lying. My daughter is now a human lie
30:33
detector test. Her new thing is is every time I say anything, she's
30:37
like you're lying, like I'm actually not lying. So that's her new thing.
30:41
Mom, you're lying. Did you bust you want? And now she
30:44
just thinks everything's a liear on No. So through like holiday break, she
30:48
just kept wanting to go to the park. And we went to our park
30:52
when it was a little warmer. I was gonna say, holiday break,
30:56
Yeah, we're talking about going to the park, are we nuts? She
30:57
wanted to go to the indoor park and I'm like, it's closed because of
31:03
holiday break? Holidays? Yeah, because of the holidays it was. And
31:07
I'm just thinking, you know, everybody's sick, Like, you're good,
31:10
We'll just we'll just build a ford at home, you know, we don't
31:11
need to take you there. She's like, Mom, you're lying to me.
31:15
I'm like, she's got the Google hours pulled up on her phone.
31:18
Yeah, I mean, what are you saying? It says they're open till
31:19
eight legitimately, Like this is how I'm sorry to feel. You're not far
31:25
from that. I'm looking at her kind of like, does she know?
31:29
Are you just like saying, Mom, you're lying? Where are we at
31:32
here? She knows, you know, she knows you're lying your kids and
31:34
you're doing significant damage, Amanda. According to some information I've discovered here from
31:40
the social learning theory, now, they do say seventy eight percent of American
31:44
parents admit to lying to their children. Seventy eight percent. And let's I
31:48
mean, my daughter also calls me out if I says so, she's like,
31:51
you're lying. Oh, she knows you're bad. You're a bad liar.
31:55
I've always known you're lying. Now an interesting tidbit in the study,
31:59
one hundred percent of Chinese parents admitted to lying to their children. You don't
32:02
see that often in the study, every single one of them over in China
32:07
admits that they lie. In the US, what did you say about lying?
32:12
Exactly exactly. But they say though that there are things you can do
32:15
to sort of get around lying. Like they say, it's the number of
32:19
lies that matters. Like basically, they'll allow you the occasional life. You
32:23
gotta pick your spots. It's like an exclamation mark in English, you only
32:28
get one. Yeah, because in turn, we're teaching our kids not to
32:31
lie and how bad it is. Right, And that's what they say too.
32:35
Because kids obviously are learning from their parents, they are gonna mimic them.
32:38
They're gonna imitate them. So if you're lying, you're setting yourself up
32:42
for failure because now down the road you kids are gonna be lying to you
32:45
about what they're doing, so you got to be honest. Also, they
32:47
say consider alternatives to lying, Amanda. So for example, let's say your
32:52
daughter Sidney is learning to play the violin and she's terrible. You don't need
32:55
a straight up say to her, oh my gosh, you play so beautifully,
32:59
Sydney. Wow, what a wonder violinists. What a wonderful violinist.
33:01
But instead try being just more straightforward and supportive, say oh, you're learning
33:07
and it takes time. Then later on you can follow up with the hey,
33:09
sid I noticed you're improving totally. Yeah we have affirmation or bringing it
33:15
up. I'm not gonna be like, yeah little pitchy sid Yeah, you're
33:17
not gonna be rude. That's got to be awkward. And I don't have
33:20
kids. I was a kid once, But for parents and kids who are
33:22
in activities and they're just not good. Not every kid is good at everything,
33:27
I always give them an opportunity to try and do different things. That's
33:30
gotta be tough. Though. I always felt for the kids who, like,
33:32
you know, in high school sports, like they're on the team but
33:36
they're definitely not playing and for the parents to show up and have to support
33:38
and which is great. But I just I'm because you were just such an
33:43
all star parents, I'm saying, so trust me. I told my dad
33:46
after a couple of weeks of football, I'm like, Dad, you don't
33:50
need to come. You know, you just knew you don't need to come
33:52
watch my backside stand on the sideline or occasionally get in the game and proceed
33:55
to get absolutely blown up by a guy twice myself. I don't think so
34:01
truly, told him. Don't like, I'll save this for the Matt in
34:06
the morning, big nutty eight points seven getting back with the next You've all
34:13
done it. We've all done it, I think, right. I mean,
34:15
every good breakup, you gotta at least get back together once, Like
34:19
Jerry Seinfeld once said, famous comedian Aman anyways know Joe Cooy, Yeah,
34:23
but it's pretty famous. He said. It's like pushing over a ending machine.
34:27
You can't just push it over in one big push. You gotta kind
34:30
of rock back and forth before it tips over. Like a breakup. Well,
34:32
is it okay to get back with the next They say there are instances.
34:36
These are relationship experts on when's it okay and worth it to get back
34:40
with your X. For example, your priorities were off balance first time you
34:45
had your go around. You had these different wants, these different needs,
34:47
and eventually we all figure it out, we all figure ourselves out what it
34:52
is we want in life. And if at the time it wasn't what you
34:54
wanted, I mean, is totally everything because there is especially if you let's
35:00
just go old school, like you had a high school sweetheart, or you
35:01
went to college and you're like, oh, okay, somebody decided I still
35:05
want to be young and fun. Will somebody's ready to hunker down and have
35:07
kids, you know, and maybe you meet again later in life. I
35:09
get that. Yeah, well, they do say the number one reason to
35:13
get back together the ax your timing was off. Like you just said,
35:15
Amanda, Obviously it's cliche, but timing is everything. You're maybe grinding,
35:20
like in your career, if you're early on trying to get to a certain
35:22
point and that's your focus, and relationships just aren't going to be your thing
35:25
at that time. Well, then down the road once you've settled in,
35:28
it's like, all right, now I got time. Now I got time
35:29
to give somebody every bit of me. I'm such a deep man. You
35:35
underestimated how emotionally sound. Okay, no, it is so true. So
35:40
if your timing was off, it's okay to get back together with your ex.
35:44
But then again, believe it or not, there's bad things about getting
35:46
back together with an X. Would you agree? Yeah, cause I think
35:49
sometimes people I've been in that situation where you're in a toxic relationship and you
35:54
are getting back together because it's your comfort, or you're like I don't know
35:58
any better, or you feel like you need each other. It's like no,
36:01
no, it's like anything. When it's gone. All you remember emotionally
36:07
is the good stuff. You know, as soon as you break up with
36:09
somebody, all you can think about is like, oh, we did have
36:12
some good times together, or oh you know this, I remember this,
36:15
and like you said, it's comfortable. And then as soon as you get
36:16
back together, it's almost the media. You're like, oh, yeah,
36:20
forgot about all that, dad, So yeah, he snores, that's right.
36:23
So you ever get back together with an X? Yeah? I did.
36:27
There I think there was a time where it was like, Okay,
36:30
it's it was a mistake, it was this, it was that, and
36:32
it's like your timing was off that mainly because it was comfort for sure.
36:37
Yeah, and here you are with the love of your life. Yeah,
36:39
my husband. It's funny you say that, he's one of those you break
36:43
up it's just done kind of thing. Is that right? Somebody told you
36:45
that round. No, we've just had you know. It is like when
36:49
you're married to somebody, you have like conversations or you have other people in
36:52
your life and you watch them. He's like, I just don't know if
36:55
it would ever work out if you ever crossed, if once you lose the
36:59
trust, if you ever go through that. He's like, I just don't
37:01
think there would be a time to come back for that. Well, that's
37:04
really easy to say, yeah, which is interesting why I swore I was
37:08
never going to golf with your husband again, But here we are. It
37:12
happens. Takeing Amanda in the morning. Seven. The holiday seasons weren't great
37:16
for everybody. It's soliday season, the holidays, the whooped, he whooped.
37:22
This lady especially had a pretty tough go of it during the holidays.
37:24
Let me start by telling you about Miracle Rivera. That's her name, Miracle,
37:30
Miracle all right, She's twenty years old and on Christmas Eve she got
37:34
into a fight with her boyfriend because she has a hunch, Amanda, that
37:37
