• 0:08
  Speaker 1: on Big ninety eight point seven.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: If I could, I would keep this feeling in a
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: basket job busted out when it was someone's acting hard.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: I just really needed to win, you.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Know, sure your little victories with us at seven oh
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: one two eight one eight seven.
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: All right, Atie, tell us all about your trip and
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: your thirst traps?
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: Sol are you.
• 0:30
  Speaker 4: I know I'm the worst?
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: Or am I the best?
• 0:33
  Speaker 4: So the little victory, you know, is that I went
• 0:36
  Speaker 4: on this big family trip. My nieces graduated high school,
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: so I went to you know, see them graduate to
• 0:44
  Speaker 4: celebrate them. Then we also did a little grad trip
• 0:47
  Speaker 4: for my niece at Zion and we hiked the Narrows
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: as a family and that was really fun.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: But then they're not safe for work part. But I'm
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: gonna tell you well, literally at.
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: Work, I posted a thirst trap on my Instagram for
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: the first time ever. Arguably, maybe other things have been
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: considered thirst traps that I've posted.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: I don't know, are they were more just like chers? Maybe?
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: But I was so intentional.
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: I was so intentional because we were going to the
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: pool and I wore a bathing suit for the first
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: time in over twenty years.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: So it's not that I've never gone swimming before, but
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: because I used to have these sad, droopy, swingy, hangy
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: skin pendulum boobies, I would never wear a regular bathing
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: suit because there wasn't one that fit me properly. So
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: it was always like you'd have to wear like two
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: It would be like, yes, like a regular bra and
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: then a sports bra and then a tank top and
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: it would all just kind of be like whatever moisture
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: wicking things, so it was kind of like a bathing suit,
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: you know whatever. And so finally, because I got to
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: just put on a bathing suit, I thought, well, I
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: gotta document.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: This on the gram.
• 2:05
  Speaker 5: Wow.
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: And I took a bunch of pictures and Mikey helped
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: me find a lie. What I love is that Mikey's like, yeah,
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: post that thirst trap after I taught him what a
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: thirst chop was and he helped me narrow down the
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: pictures and I posted them on my Instagram, and I
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: just love the outpouring of support from all my girlies
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: who know the struggle, who knew my struggle, and like,
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: those are the comments I care about. Obviously there's always
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: like I mean, I know what a thirst chrap is.
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: So there's always some creepers that comment weird things, but
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: I ignore those.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: I go on Instagram to flirt with the girls.
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: Okay, right, but yeah, So it was very exciting to
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: wear a bathing suit for the first time in twenty
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: plus years, and I looked pretty good. But I did
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: not put it on Biggs Instagram because I didn't want
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: to get in trouble by hr.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: Well, good for you. That was probably a fantastic choice.
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: And now, Angie, my little victory obviously it is that

• 6:58
  Speaker 3: And I was like, no, no one really asked me
• 6:59

• 7:08
  Speaker 3: and YadA YadA YadA, and she goes, well, that is

  Speaker 3: of these babes.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: This wasn't even a joke. That's the worst part.
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: I was like, yeah, except why do the baby things
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: that you have to build come with the world's worst instructions?
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: And she started laughing at that because I think she
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: understood these baby things that you have to put together, yeah,
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: have the worst instructions. And that is what got her
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: me struggling to like build baby things.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: Oh now when.
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: You put it in that phrasey, she was laughing at
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: you struggling.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: I like it. I like it a lot, but you
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: like it so much I got her.
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: It took me eight months and it finally happened. And
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: now you know, Angie knows. My wife witnessed it, and
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: I am telling everybody everywhere.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: I go for the rest of time. You know what
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: they say, a win is a win. That's right.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: In the world of rules in gray Areas, one morning
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: show dares to ask the hard questions.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: We both know you're guilty, he's guilty. Is it legal?
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: You're guilty of the worst crime of all?
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: On Big ninety eight point seven.
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: I'm learning a lot about child laws, Angie, as you should.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: You're about to have a child.
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: That's right, you know, child car seat loss, child booster laws,
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: child labor laws like how much work can I get
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: baby tree to get done? No? Yeah, is it legal
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: to make your kid ride in a booster seat even
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: though they're trying to tell you they are basically an adult?
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: Well?
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: In fact, yes, In North Dakota, kids have to ride
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: in a car seat or booster seat until they're eight
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: years old or reach the height of four foot nine,
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: whichever one comes first. So if you're seven year old,
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: is negotiaiating like a lawyer and reminding you.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: That they're practically grown up?
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: The law completely disagrees, and if they're still under four
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: foot nine, they may have to keep writing that booster
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: seat a little longer.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: Sorry, kid, turns out being able to beat dad at
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: video games doesn't count toward the height requirement.
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: I'm really not aware Liam is nine, but he's not tall.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: How tall is this kid? I need to breaking the law.
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: The good news is it's all about safety, Okay. The
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: booster helps the seat belt fit properly and it keeps
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: kids better protected in a crash. So is it legal
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: for your child to demand shotgun privileges while still needing
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: a booster seat?
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: Absolutely? Not well, they can demand it.
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: Whether they get it is a completely different legal question.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: Very interesting.
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: I've learned a lot about car seats and booster seats
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: in the past twenty four hours.
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: I feel like when I had Well, I fear one
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: of them is still in boosters eat age. But with Aiden,
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: I really didn't know anything, and so he was not
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: in a booster far sooner than I think he was
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: supposed to.
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: You hear my mom and dad talk and they were like,
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: I was riding in the back of the station wagon
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: reading a book in the sun with no seat belt on.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: You know, that's how they are rolling around the back. Yeah,
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: that's how it was back in the day.
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: Back in the day, I sat on a couple of
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: phone books with a seat belt.
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: If you go back and watch the very first Toy
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: story when they're pulling up to the gas station before
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: they get to Pizza Planet, you see that the baby
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: Molly is strapped into her car seat in the front seat.
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: Yes, might have to go check out that scene.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: Starting off the day with something good, This is Gabe's
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: good News on Big ninety eight point seven.
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: A West Fargo mom is proving that determination can overcome
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: even life's toughest challenges. Three years ago, Meghan Shields she
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: suffered a devastating stroke while home alone with her three
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: young children, and after spending more than two weeks in
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: the hospital before she could speak again, Meghan began the
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: long road to recovery through physical, occupational, and speech therapy. Today,
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: she is celebrating victories both big and small, including something
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: that many of us might take for granted, and that
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: is braiding hair. Meghan was one of the first patients
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: at Sanford Health to receive a specialized implant called vivistim,
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: which helps stimulate the brain during stroke recovery. Combine that
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: with years of hard work in therapy, this device has
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: helped make her helped her make incredible progress. Her husband,
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: Cody says watching her determination has made him incredibly proud
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: of her. Obviously, and Meghan also credits a lesson she
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: learned as a college athlete where it was mentality before reality.
• 12:00
  Speaker 5: I started to lose feeling in my leg and I
• 12:02
  Speaker 5: had just well, I had a baby about a year ago,
• 12:05
  Speaker 5: and I was just thinking like it would go go
• 12:08
  Speaker 5: away when I woke up and it didn't. And her
• 12:11
  Speaker 5: work ethic that she put forward really made me proud
• 12:15
  Speaker 5: on a different level that I hadn't known from her before.
• 12:18
  Speaker 5: That means you had to put in the work to
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: get the goods in Fargo, Kirsty.
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: And to her credit obviously, that really means you know,
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: put in the work and the results will come. And
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: a it's a powerful reminder from a wes Fargo mom
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: showing us all what perseverance looks like.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: What a story.
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: And good for her, you know, that's something that could
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: easily really derail your life.
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: I mean, and she was home with her young children
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: when this.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: Happened, yep.
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: And now she's just going strong, continues to work and
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: push forward.
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: And all the credit to her for sure, well done.
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: You know my favorite quote, if you don't hear it,
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: is broken crayons, they still color. And the world is
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: full of nice people. If you can't find one, you
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: got to be one.
