  Speaker 1: This is am I the problem.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: It's me.
• 0:06
  Speaker 3: Hi, the problem is me.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: We'll hear one side of the story and with your
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: help decide if it's right or if maybe you're the problem.
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: That's right.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: I am the problem on Big ninety eight point seven.
• 0:24
  Speaker 4: That's right, I am the problem.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: I don't know why we had Tyler right into us,
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: and there's some workplace drama. Hey, guys, I need to
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: know if I'm the problem here. Back in twenty twenty three,
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: a coworker named Jen ding he just said her name, Sorry, Jen.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: A co worker named Jen went on maternity leave then
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: started working from home, so her office sat empty. I
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: asked my manager if I could move in. God approved,
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: and I've been there ever since. Our company announced that
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: everyone has to return to office by November seventeenth. When
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: Jen came in to start moving stuff back in, she
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: saw me in her office and got upset and asked
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: if I'd moved out. I told her no, and HR
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: even confirmed I don't have to. But now people at
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: work are giving me attitude over it and saying I'm inconsiderate.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: There are other offices she can move into. My coworkers
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: think that I should just move into one of those.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: Then that sounds stupid. If I'm already settled in and
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: she's actively moving things, what do you think?
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: Man gave the little smirk on your face. I'm a
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: little nervous to hear what you.
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: Have to say.
• 1:35
  Speaker 5: Here's what I will say, Tyler, this is just his
• 1:41
  Speaker 5: name's Tyler, right, yeah, Tyler, this is just part of
• 1:44
  Speaker 5: being a guy. Okay, sometimes things stuck. Just change your office, dude, do.
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: You think he should change his office?
• 1:52
  Speaker 5: Get an hr all involved in your other out of
• 1:56
  Speaker 5: an office, Just get a different office. Now is it
• 2:00
  Speaker 5: I'm saying? Is the office worth now? Forever at that job?
• 2:04
  Speaker 5: Being the guy who wouldn't trade offices? Is it really
• 2:08
  Speaker 5: worth it? She was on maternity leave, It's not like
• 2:11
  Speaker 5: she I guess she did start working from home, but
• 2:13
  Speaker 5: it's you know, it's not like she quit and then
• 2:16
  Speaker 5: tried to come back and get the office for a
• 2:19
  Speaker 5: good reason.
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: So just switch the office.
• 2:23
  Speaker 5: This sounds like a headache I would not want to
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: be involved in, and forever you are the dude who
• 2:27
  Speaker 5: is too stubborn to switch offices.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: What do you think seven oh one two eight zho
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: one nine eight seven is Tyler the problem should he
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: just switch offices because his coworker's coming back. Or should
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: he just stick to his guns and say, no, this
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: is my office now.
• 2:48
  Speaker 5: Should Tyler give up an office he jumped into as
• 2:52
  Speaker 5: this lady went on maternity leave and then started working remotely?
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: TYA, I think he should stick.
• 2:58
  Speaker 6: To his guns. And I Jen needs to realize that
• 3:02
  Speaker 6: that office stem empty for however long until Tyler moved
• 3:08
  Speaker 6: into it. She didn't plan on returning into the office
• 3:12
  Speaker 6: until it was mandated to do so. She shouldn't have
• 3:15
  Speaker 6: an expectation that that office wasn't going to get used
• 3:19
  Speaker 6: by somebody else, because the only reason she's returning to
• 3:22
  Speaker 6: the office is because they told her she needed to,
• 3:25
  Speaker 6: Otherwise she'd still be at home.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: This is exactly how I feel.
• 3:29
  Speaker 6: Right, I mean, how long is that supposed to sit empty?
• 3:33
  Speaker 6: What if she worked at home for ten years? Was
• 3:35
  Speaker 6: that office supposed to sit empty for ten years?
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, I love you right when you're right
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: you're right?
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, I love.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: How fired up you wear about this because that was
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: my feeling exactly Like, girl, you gave up that office
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: and you don't live there, you don't own the company.
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: Calm down, it's not your office anymore.
• 3:53
  Speaker 6: And he took the right steps to check and make
• 3:55
  Speaker 6: sure that it was okay that he moved in so
• 3:58
  Speaker 6: her and unfortunately too with his office workers. They need
• 4:03
  Speaker 6: to kind of come to the realization as well that
• 4:07
  Speaker 6: what is the expectation? How long should an office it
• 4:10
  Speaker 6: open until somebody else wants to move into it or
• 4:13
  Speaker 6: needs to move into it?
• 4:15
  Speaker 5: And Tya does make a good point, Tya, thank you
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: so much for the phone call this morning.
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: And you know what, I was a little surprised. There
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: are some there's.
• 4:23
  Speaker 5: Some back and forth on this a little bit. I
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: thought this was going to be fairly heavily one sided.
• 4:28
  Speaker 5: I wonder, and I would like to hear Jen's side
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: of this story. Maybe it was approved or what have you,
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: that no one would jump in the office or something.
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: But we did get a text from Liz who Liz
• 4:41
  Speaker 5: actually agreed with me. She said she was on maternity leave,
• 4:45
  Speaker 5: added in some color for words after that. But she knew,
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: or Tyler knew it was temporary. Now she's coming back.
• 4:51
  Speaker 5: Time to pack up. Why didn't you just take a
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: different office in the first place, since she knew she
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: was coming back after leave. Now I don't know if
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: Liz potentially missed that she was working remote for a
• 5:00
  Speaker 5: little bit, But if there were other offices open for Tyler,
• 5:05
  Speaker 5: I guess I would have avoided the entire headache and
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: just picked one. I knew that someone didn't have things
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: in Potentially, I.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: Need someone to send us a picture of this office.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: What is so magical about this that? Is it a
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: corner office? You got big windows?
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: I need to know. Is it on the second floor?
• 5:24
  Speaker 6: Know?
• 5:25
  Speaker 5: And what do you think? Seven oh one two eight
• 5:27
  Speaker 5: zero one nine eight seven? Uh, this is a little
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: more divided than I originally thought it would.
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: Be celebrating life's little victories.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Victory every morning we practice gratitude on Big ninety eight
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: point seven.
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: If I could, I would keep this feeling in a
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: basket job busted out when it was someone's acting hard.
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: I just really needed to win, you know.
• 5:49

• 6:10
  Speaker 5: seen in a while and was very very happy.
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: I think it had to do it so I got
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: some homework or something.
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: Oh wow, I didn't read them. Pull.
• 6:17

• 6:27
  Speaker 5: thing of homework.

• 7:13
  Speaker 3: Thank you. Okay.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: So I have this big bear wall in my living
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: room that I hadn't put anything up on it, just
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: because I don't know, I just hadn't done it yet.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: I was waiting for like a good deal to find,
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: like a painting to put up.
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: And yesterday was the day.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: Mikey and I we went to Kirkland's home and we
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: found this painting that was seventy five percent off. So
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: instead of paying one hundred ten dollars plus tax on it,
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: I got it for like twenty seven bucks.
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: Oh.
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: You gotta love a good deal.
• 7:45
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: And so now we've hung it up.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: It's filled the space, it's not just this big empty wall.
• 7:51
  Speaker 5: Yeah, anytime you can save some money, I'm always a
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: big fan of that. I love a good deal.
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: I'm a frugal lady.
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: That's right. My little victory here, Angie.
• 7:59
  Speaker 5: This past weekend I went to visit my buddy Jake
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: in Minneapolis.
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: I love him.
• 8:05
  Speaker 5: Yeah, he's very cool dude. And we just rotated some
• 8:08
  Speaker 5: tires on the truck. Now I could easily not easily,
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: that's not the right word. But when I got my
• 8:14
  Speaker 5: oil change, I could have easily just thrown in like
• 8:16
  Speaker 5: some more money and just got it done for me.
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: I've been done with it. But then you don't get
• 8:20
  Speaker 5: the excuse of going to bs with your buddy for
• 8:22
  Speaker 5: a weekend for a task that takes about twenty to
• 8:26
  Speaker 5: thirty minutes. I like your style game, yeah, but that's
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: not the little victory. The little victory was on the
• 8:32
  Speaker 5: way home to Minneapolis, or I guess on the way
• 8:36
  Speaker 5: to my parents' home to Minneapolis, I stopped at this
• 8:39

• 8:42
  Speaker 5: more like a truck stop, you know.
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: It had a restaurant in it and all this oh nice.
• 8:46
  Speaker 5: And I walk in and I, you know, we're doing
• 8:48
  Speaker 5: a little potty break gas fill up deal. And I
• 8:50
  Speaker 5: walk in and this lady I heard her say something
• 8:54

• 9:23
  Speaker 5: and it was just really cool that this lady sat
• 9:25
  Speaker 5: and talked to us for a couple of minutes.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: I love that because we sit in here and we
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: do the show, but we can't ever be sure that
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: anybody's listening.
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: Not a clue.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: We're just like fingers crossed and prayers up that anyone listens.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: So it's nice to hear when someone does.
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it was very funny watching this lady kind of
• 9:41
  Speaker 5: roast Cory, like very lightheartedly, by the way, about not
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: having a flannel on for Flannel Friday.
• 9:47

• 12:51
  Speaker 5: free stuff or upgrades? Let us know it's seven oh
• 12:54
  Speaker 5: one two eight zero one nine eight seven. We want
• 12:57
  Speaker 5: to help you this holiday season as maybe you got
• 13:00
  Speaker 5: to do some traveling, you gotta do some staying in hotels,
• 13:03
  Speaker 5: whatever the case is. Yeah, could you maybe you know,
• 13:05
  Speaker 5: go from coach up into business or something right.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: A girlfriend of mine had asked this on her social
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: media because she went on it she was going on
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: a trip to Vegas for a birthday. She was like,
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: what are your guys' upgrade?
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: Like, hacks? What do you? What do you do?
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: And I responded to her and I figured I would
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: let the FM Maria know. This has worked for me
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: several times in the past with both hotels and car rentals.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: When I present my ID to go check in to
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: do the thing, No, I say, do you want to
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: upgrade me for free for no reason.
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: And takes a lot of I'll use the word gumption. Yeah,
• 13:46
  Speaker 5: I think they're just take some bravery.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: They're disarmed by it, because what are you saying to me?
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: Just flat out do you want to upgrade me for
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: free for no reason?
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: Like, no incentive. I'm not tipping you.
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: Nothing, I just ask, flat out ask. And I think
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: that they're just so taken aback by that, and then think,
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: I don't know why not.
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah, maybe they just appreciate the honesty.
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: So I've gotten upgraded in hotel rooms and in car rentals,
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: So I mean the worst they can say is no,
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: because I have gotten a No, it doesn't work every time,
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: but I have gotten a know here and there, and
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: that's fine. But like, you can't what is the Wayne
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: Gretzky thing?

• 16:08
  Speaker 3: Brian, send us her contact info.
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: I'll share with the class. Ryan Rocket.
• 16:19
  Speaker 5: There's been a challenge issued here on Big ninety eight
• 16:22
  Speaker 5: point seven to our very own Angie and no, she's
• 16:25
  Speaker 5: not going to be a rocket man, but close.
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: A roquette and if you will.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: So on Friday, I saw on the Today Show we
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: have a TV in the background here and the roquettes
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: were performing on the plaza.
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: They're like some dancers if you don't.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: Know, Yeah, so I'm watching it and I thought I
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: could do that very high level dancing.
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: I could be a roquette.
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: Well, they're tall, they tend to be tall, so in
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: that I'm lacking. They're also they got long legs. They
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: got long legs. I'm also lacking in that. However, the
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: main thing about being a roquette is the kicks, right,
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: those chorus line kicks that they do, and I think
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: that I could do that. I think if I had
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: just tried a little, I could I could do a
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: roquettes performance. I'm not a good dancer either, but I
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: just feel like I.
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: Can do right.
• 17:23
  Speaker 5: We're lacking in a leg length, yeah, and then we're
• 17:29
  Speaker 5: lacking in dancing ability.
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: Yes, However, I still think that I can do it.
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: And when I said this to you, Gab, you were like, okay,
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: so do it, and you challenged me. You gave me
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: one month to essentially do a roquette routine of some sort.
• 17:47
  Speaker 5: That's right, And if you saw the video that was
• 17:49
  Speaker 5: on Facebook on Friday, we have changed it. I think
• 17:53
  Speaker 5: we said December seventh, that's a Sunday. It's a Sunday.
• 17:56
  Speaker 5: So we're going to change it to December eighth, which
• 17:59
  Speaker 5: is a month, so you'll even have an extra weekend
• 18:02
  Speaker 5: in there to really nail this routine down.
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: So my goal is in the next month the big
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: thing that I'm I think everything else I an kind
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: of fake, but the kick I want to buy December eighth,
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: be able to do one of those roquette kicks where
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: I kick really high up. I am a naturally flexible person,
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: So I think if I do have that going for you. Yeah,
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: so I think if I really work hard, I can
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: I can do it. So obviously it's one thing to
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: talk about it. But I'm going to document this journey
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: and then obviously pulst it to the Big ninety eight
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: point seven Facebook page, to the Big ninety eight point
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: seven Instagram because I'm convinced that by December eighth, I
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: will do a satisfactory Rockets performance.
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: Mark my words.
• 18:52
  Speaker 5: If you are maybe a dancer or a dance instructor,
• 18:55
  Speaker 5: can you text us at seven oh one to eight
• 18:57
  Speaker 5: zero one nine eight seven. Maybe Angie could use some help.
• 19:00
  Speaker 5: Maybe we'll get some behind the scenes training footage. Oh,
• 19:03
  Speaker 5: I need all the help I can get. Have you
• 19:05
  Speaker 5: like West Vargo High School or something?
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: Yes, someone help me.
• 19:09
  Speaker 5: All right, Well, I issued the challenge. I'm cheering for you, Angie.
• 19:12
  Speaker 5: I hope you could do it. I don't know if
• 19:14
  Speaker 5: our expectations are a little high to do a dance
• 19:17
  Speaker 5: like a roquette, maybe you should aim to try to
• 19:20
  Speaker 5: do a dance like a shuttle.
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: You're so rude, You're so rude.
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: I need some good.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: Starting off the day with something good. This is Gabe's
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: good News on Big ninety eight point seven.
• 19:38
  Speaker 5: And hey, I want to remind you if you ever
• 19:39
  Speaker 5: had if something good ever happens, you know, at your school,
• 19:42
  Speaker 5: or your family's.
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: House, or in your neighborhood or.
• 19:46
  Speaker 5: Wherever, you can always text those to me, and I'd
• 19:49
  Speaker 5: be more than willing to share them here on Big
• 19:50
  Speaker 5: ninety eight point seven at seven oh one too eight
• 19:53
  Speaker 5: zero one nine eight seven, or message on Facebook whatever
• 19:55
  Speaker 5: it is. If you think, hey, that'd be kind of
• 19:57
  Speaker 5: cool for Big ninety eight point seven to talk about it,
• 19:59
  Speaker 5: go ahead and send those to me.
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: I'd love to share them here.
• 20:02
  Speaker 5: Last Thursday, there were some third graders at this elementary
• 20:05
  Speaker 5: school here in the Midwest, all right, and they alerted
• 20:07
  Speaker 5: authorities to a house fire that they spotted outside their
• 20:11
  Speaker 5: classroom window during a.
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: Reading lesson Oh my Gosh.
• 20:14
  Speaker 5: One student named shay Lynn she noticed the flames, and
• 20:17
  Speaker 5: then another student named Emmett immediately told their teacher, who
• 20:21
  Speaker 5: called nine to one one.
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: Now.
• 20:23
  Speaker 5: Firefighters made it to the house, and they actually rescued
• 20:27
  Speaker 5: a dog that was inside stuck in the home. The
• 20:31
  Speaker 5: dog was initially kind of lethargic, but quickly recovered after
• 20:35
  Speaker 5: being given some oxygen, and the students got to watch
• 20:38
  Speaker 5: as the firefighters worked to get the blaze under control. Now, thankfully,
• 20:41
  Speaker 5: you know, one was home during the fire, but they
• 20:43
  Speaker 5: did save the dog, and the firefighters later visited the
• 20:46
  Speaker 5: school to thank the students. They taught the class about
• 20:49
  Speaker 5: safety and encouraged children not to be afraid to approach
• 20:52
  Speaker 5: firefighters during emergency.
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: So, oh, my gosh, you know what I never think
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: about until right now, this moment that sometimes I've seen
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: like smoke or something coming from a building, right and
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: I think there's the assumption that oh, someone clearly called
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: it in, or like someone's cooking someone.
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, or some you know what I mean. Yeah, but
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: like you never know.
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: And so these kids they didn't just think, well, someone's
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: taking care of that.
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: They were like, no, we got to spring into action.
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: That's amazing.
• 21:22
  Speaker 5: Yes, some incredible third graders and uh, maybe not necessarily
• 21:26
  Speaker 5: an exciting day, perhaps definitely a day that they'll remember
• 21:30
  Speaker 5: for a long long time. The world is full of
• 21:32
  Speaker 5: nice people. If you can't find one, you gotta be one.
