Grim Predictions for 2024 · Podcast - Big 98.7

0:00
So I just got back from a trip. We were in Florida. So
0:02
I flew out of a Hector International Airport. Always always a nice time.
0:07
Is awesome though, isn't it. I mean you've been to a few airports
0:09
as have I. It is just solid. Oh yeah, they got it
0:13
down and it's getting bettering, you know what I mean. Definitely a smooth
0:16
process. But I did notice on the way. On the way there,
0:19
we're going through security and the elder statesman in front of me had his bag
0:24
checked. You know, sometimes they randomly choose it seems like it's always my
0:27
bag. So they start going through his bag because it appears they had found
0:30
something in there and whoa, my man tried to get his knife through security.
0:35
Yeah, knife, and it seemed forget that. It seemed like he
0:39
had forgotten he didn't realize with in his bag and a pocket knife or is
0:42
this like a machete? It was it was a sword. No, it
0:45
was like more of a pocket knife, but it was a knife nonetheless.
0:48
And so they basically said, hey, dude, I well, one can't
0:51
do this too. I can just throw it away for you, or we
0:53
can mail it to you, or you can go back and put in your
0:56
car. Whatever you gotta do anyway, But there's a hack. So,
0:58
you know, when it comes to liquids, there's so many rules. I
1:00
can never keep up, you know what I mean? Yeah, And I'd
1:03
never go and actually buy the travel sized stuff to go through with it.
1:06
I'm either like, I'll either get it where I'm going or I'm just gonna
1:08
cross my fingers and hope whatever it is I'm going through it's going in right.
1:11
So here's a little hack. Though. This flight attendant shared a video
1:15
on TikTok. It's gone viral because a lot of people are like, oh
1:17
man, I didn't realize you could do that, because you know, what
1:19
is it? Three and a half ounces? Yeah, I gotta keep So
1:22
let's say you're trying to get like some milk or some oat milk, get
1:25
that through security, but they don't come in small enough packages. She's got
1:27
an idea for you. Okay, So here's a little fice in a high
1:32
you guys like oat milk for any one, nilk for commonist, get a
1:34
breast milk bag, right and for sure liquid was in there. Okay,
1:41
so breast milk rest. But I was actually just thinking to myself because when
1:45
you have kids, I feel like it's a little bit more lenient. Like
1:47
our kids had water bottles they wanted to bring on. Of course you have
1:49
to empty them and then you can refill them because it is expensive if you
1:53
get stuck in an airport or you're trying to buy anything and they have all
1:56
the snacks, like it could cost us more being at the air early then
2:00
for our tickets sometimes and I'm not even kidding you. Yeah, so adds
2:05
up when you do have snacks and stuff like that. Like I feel like
2:07
they don't care if the kids have all that. So solids are fine.
2:10
We went through this too because I brought a bag of chips in. So
2:13
you can do that, like for example in Fargo, they got the subway
2:15
before you go through security. You can get a foot long sub and bring
2:17
it through if you want. Now, my biggest pet peeve is when people
2:22
do that and then they sit there and wait for the boarding process. They're
2:25
just sitting there, not eating the sub well, no, because they're not
2:29
quite hungry yet, not quite a man. But the second they sit down
2:32
on the flight we're still boarding. That's the time they want to open up
2:36
the big sweet onion chicken terary ockey. No, one't that just steak and
2:38
it is always stanky. Or they decided, you know what I want to
2:42
do today, I'm going tuna melt. Why wouldn't I do that extra onion?
2:46
Thanks the guy. So, the guy bringing the knife through, I
2:49
did sort of feel bad for him because I had a similar issue. Not
2:53
a knife. Now, I wasn't trying to Yeah I'm trying to bring a
2:54
knife through. But one of the first times Lauren and I my wife,
2:58
Now we're just dating, but we were going got a trip together, and
3:00
so I got a backpack that I hadn't used like in years. So this
3:06
old backpack, like all this stuff. We're going to Vegas. So I
3:07
just needed a few things. And so going through security in Fargo and it
3:12
gets flagged, of course, so I'm like, you know what's in there?
3:14
But they start digging through the pockets of this backpack and the big bottle
3:19
of how can I say this not booze was a lubricnt Okay, stop it,
3:24
big bottle, biggest bottle you ever saw. Okay, So like Jurgen's
3:30
lotion, like a big thing. I don't need to get into brand specifics,
3:34
but got it. And happened to be hiding in one of the pockets.
3:38
And now the biggest bracket. It was not a bottle she had seen.
3:44
We'll just say that. Okay. So the guy and of course the
3:47
t s A guy couldn't be discreet, you know. My man could be
3:53
like, hey, dude, come over here, got to something. But
3:54
no, he hold over the air like he's the guy you're shooting the gun
3:58
to start an Olympic rating. Who's this? This? Who's this? I'm
4:02
like, put it down. He's like, oh, you know you can't
4:05
bring this through. I'm like, I know, I didn't know it was
4:08
in. So did you say toss it or did you want to go bring
4:11
it back to your car bike? I said, just throw it, for
4:13
the love of God, throw it away like it a minute in the morning.
4:16
And now Amanda stills, let's see, let's see. So the other
4:23
day we were kind of laughing because the headline was Steve Sanders from nine on
4:27
two and zero Iron Zeering was in this like huge brawl with this bike.
4:30
I mean, they made it out to be like it was a biker gang,
4:32
right picture Hell's Angels, your sons of anarchy battling it out in the
4:36
streets of Hollywood coming after him. So he's on Hollywood Boulevard, and like
4:41
I had mentioned earlier, it was a couple of days ago. It was
4:44
intense. I mean, he's his daughter was in the car. All the
4:46
video we had originally seen, he's like running away from them. There's like
4:51
fourteen of them coming after him. There was even a chick on there who
4:55
like whipped her helmet off. She's throwing it, she falls over. It's
4:57
crazy. Well, yeah, they're using their helmet. It's his weapons.
5:00
I know, you want to be a big, tough guy and defend yourself,
5:03
but at some point you just got a you got a cave and run
5:05
away. Yeah, you gotta back down. Well, yesterday Brian Austin Green
5:10
had talked about how what a man, what a stallion? Basically he was
5:14
for taking on all these people, and then somebody had a different angle of
5:17
it. So this video that's now being released is from the car behind him.
5:21
Uh huh. So there was only one mini bike, little scooter.
5:26
They weren't the hogs I was imagining, just these tiny little bikes win around
5:30
him, and I don't know if he thought they hit the car or maybe
5:33
they did but he gets out of his vehicle, doesn't know that there's any
5:38
behind him, and goes after this guy like just goes after him, starts
5:42
hitting him instantly, So he started the brawl. Okay, okay, just
5:46
a classic road range. As soon as that happened, then like fourteen of
5:49
them just show up as coming out of nowhere. I mean there's tiny little
5:54
bikes. It's like it's like clowns getting out of a clown car. Yeah,
5:57
I just don't know how many there are. They just keep coming.
5:59
Yeah. Or you it's stung by a bee and like a beehive just swarms
6:01
at you. That's what it looks like. So I like clown car.
6:04
I like the clown car analogy. I don't get that reference. When I
6:09
say clown car, you don't know what I mean. Uh huh. You
6:11
never seen like in a cartoon where a bunch of there's a tiny little car
6:15
and a clown gets out, and then another clown, and pretty soon you
6:17
got like forty clowns have gotten out of this tiny Remember I wasn't a big
6:20
cartoon girl. I was too busy watching the Golden Girls and designing women.
6:25
Maybe that's what I meant. Cloud car I love clown car, so I
6:30
guess. Earlier this week people were saying Britney Spears was recruiting people like Julia
6:34
Michaels and Charlie XCXT to write songs for a new album. Rolling Stone actually
6:39
was the one who was confirming all of this. Britney Spears fired back yesterday,
6:43
and this is kind of what I love about celebrities social media. Nowadays,
6:47
you're able to just shoot things down right away. So she says,
6:51
just so we're clear, most of the news is trash. They keep saying
6:54
I'm turning to random people to do an album. I will never return to
6:57
the music industry. When I write, I write for fun and I write
7:00
for other people. Pike, this is really where it's gonna get you.
7:02
Britney Spears said, for those of you who have read my book and you
7:05
know there are loads about me, you don't know. One thing you should
7:09
know is that I've written over twenty songs for twenty different people two years.
7:14
She says, I'm a ghostwriter, and honestly, I love it that way.
7:17
I don't believe that for a second. That's one of those things that
7:19
I'd be really easy to lie about because there's no way approving it. Yeah,
7:23
I mean unless somebody's like, yeah, Britney Spears wrote this, we
7:25
would have to know. Maybe they're just not picking up her songs. Well
7:28
this, so I do have one that she wrote, do you. Yeah.
7:30
Yeah, it's called clown Car. No this I know this is the
7:38
circus theme. Well yeah, it's called clown Car from Britney Spears. It's
7:43
a song about a tiny little car and a bunch of little clowns getting out.
7:46
You never got into like in high school where you piled into your friend's
7:50
moms you know, sedan, you got seven people in there and nobody ever
7:55
said geez, just like a clown car in here. This isn't hidden,
7:59
Pike. I know you're really trying to stress this for me. I uh,
8:01
I remember piling into vehicles, but I don't remember the old clown car.
8:07
Well you missed out, all right, Tonight is the night if you
8:11
were all in like I was, old gear Bear getting married. The Golden
8:16
Bachelor is going to say I do to Teresa tonight. But there's a little
8:20
plot twist here. Susan who was on the Golden Bachelor, she's officiating it
8:26
all. I don't know why this is so weird to me. I know
8:28
that I about died when I saw this. Do you remember you didn't really
8:31
follow along? You didn't you tune in for just a second. Yeah,
8:35
I heard his voice, and I just I just from everything, I don't
8:39
want to hear that. You just couldn't do it anymore. Well, Susan,
8:43
did you say he got like shot in the throat or there was a
8:46
reason. Yeah, he is hard of hearing and he has a hearing it
8:50
why he's got shot in the throat? I think that's what I heard about
8:54
Shaggy the rapper. You know, I had heard that he got shot in
9:00
the throat and that's why he sounds that way. Turns out that's not even
9:03
true. You're my angel, Cash, I love Shaggy. Okay, Well,
9:05
anyway, I don't know why I find this bizarre. But all these
9:09
ladies at the reunion and just in general, if you follow any of them
9:13
on Instagram like I do, they're all just still really good friends. It's
9:16
like just a cackling little hens club having fun. That's not how it's supposed
9:20
to be. Ladies. You didn't you didn't understand the assignment, Okay,
9:24
you weren't supposed to all just get on the show and become friends and then
9:26
officiate the wedding of the guy that ditch dumped you. I do love that
9:30
she put on here. It's gonna be the wedding of the year, baby,
9:31
because they're all just cougars. I mean, the way they dress and
9:35
do it's it's for me and I hope they have a golden bachelorette. Still
9:39
no word on that, and they just skip right to the wedding just like
9:41
that. I mean, did they do the Golden Bachelor Party, the Golden
9:45
Shower, the Golden the bridle Shower. I don't know if they really want
9:54
to arrive at the wedding and style bike. What do you when they say
10:01
I do and it goes away with just married, what do you think is
10:03
gonna happen? I'm thinking clown car I get Amanda in the morning, did
10:09
n seven? I generally wouldn't be one to necessarily believe a psychic right,
10:13
I mean, you and I am n Even in New York City when we
10:16
went on her trip, I got a psychic reading and I didn't buy it
10:20
then. I don't buy it now. But in this situation, it's kind
10:22
of hard to argue because this woman accurately predicted not only the Soviet Union dissolution,
10:30
the Chernobyl tragedy, but also nine to eleven. How is that possible?
10:35
And what do you mean by predicting nine to eleven? Like the exact
10:39
details or just vaguely. Her name is Baba Voga. Have you heard of
10:43
Baba Vanga? I have not teld me more about Baba Vanga. Well,
10:46
before you get too attached, I will say she tragically passed away in nineteen
10:50
ninety six, so she's been gone some time. But she was a blind
10:54
Bulgarian psychic. And when she was a young young girl, she was taking
11:00
away by a tornado, okay, swept up in the air by a tornado
11:03
and out of here. What it was the tornado that caused her to go
11:05
blind? Okay? So it was after this that she acquired these psychic powers.
11:11
And now, if you don't believe me, this was a bit they
11:13
did on the History Channel. After the accident, Benjelliot developed a striking ability
11:18
to predict the future. By the nineteen eighties, Ben Jellia, who adopted
11:24
the name Baba Voga. Oh yeah, that's her name, got it?
11:26
Baba Vanka had given thousands of accurate predictions while gained a reputation as the Nocero
11:33
Damas of the Balkans. She did, Baba Vaga said that she could see
11:35
in her mind's eye, and when she would look at a person, she
11:39
said that she could see their whole life. All right, So Babavanga had
11:43
made predictions's me the chill here we are in twenty twenty four, and she
11:46
did make predictions for this year, thankfully, and now she'd been right thousands
11:48
of times. Like I said, those are obviously the notable ones. But
11:50
Babavoga in twenty twenty four says, are you ready, here's what's going down?
11:54
Hang on the number one, she did predict that the Russian president would
12:00
be attempted anyway to be assassinated. So in this case Vladimir Putin. And
12:03
hasn't that kind of just been going on for about a year. It's hard
12:09
to say, man, okay, unless you're paying attention, then they probably
12:11
wouldn't get it. To say. Number two, she said, biological weapons
12:15
and increased terrorist attacks. Okay, all right. Number three she said there
12:22
will be a massive economic crisis. Oh okay. Number four terrifying weather events.
12:28
Now you might be thinking, Okay, these are just like super generalized,
12:33
I mean to some degree. Yeah, I'm sitting here in Fargo,
12:37
North Dakota, going haven't seen a winter quite like this one. The ice
12:43
storm, the big ice storm of that was in twenty twenty three. Technic
12:46
Okay, so she just missed that one. But if it floods in April,
12:50
Boba vanas. Now, she did also predict some cyber attacks, massive
12:54
cyber attacks, which you gotta think she died in nineteen ninety six. So
12:58
the fact that she even knew that these could be a thing. Yeah,
13:01
we were still dialing up. We were dialing Yeah, little ICQ chat back
13:07
in the day instant messengers. So how many cyber attacks were on my t
13:09
I ninety nine calculator napster was a thing back, sure, and then finally
13:15
this and other. It's not all bad, I know. I was sitting
13:18
here Mike, texting my husband, let's get our finances in order by as
13:20
much water as possible, and uh, none on her. Now, just
13:24
listen to this, she said. Bob Ivanga, the blind psychic who predicted
13:28
nine to eleven. She said, there will be some new treatments for illnesses.
13:31
I like this, So she anticipates there being some new things available to
13:35
treat things that were previously known as terminal So it's not all bad. Any
13:41
other positives I'd like to discuss more about that. Well, she did predict
13:45
the Packers winning the Super Bowl. I left that one out. Now here's
13:48
what you need to know. Well, I cannot imagine being without electricity this
13:52
long. It all happened on Christmas Day, that big ice storm, and
13:54
Cass County Electrics still working hard to get some people's electricity back on, so
14:00
they resort about two hundred more people on Tuesday. There's still about seven hundred
14:03
and forty members that do not have electricity. Members members of Cast County Electric
14:11
that's what they call them. I don't realize it's part of the club.
14:16
It's like a country club. Yeah, it's a country club. I don't
14:20
want to be a part of at the moment, if you, I mean
14:22
ten days, they're saying that they're hoping to get everybody back on by the
14:26
end of the weekend. Yeah, I hope. So that's a long to
14:28
own. That's nasty. Yeah, I mean you're paying for the membership.
14:33
You'd at least like to have the electricity. Really gotcha, didn't it.
14:39
That's just I think it's a proper way of saying that the resident. I
14:43
pay for a membership at you know, the Fargo Country Club, and here
14:46
tell me I can't play, I can't come on golf? What pretty bummed
14:50
out about it. So it's the season of diets. People are googling what's
14:54
the best one, what's going to work for you? Well, the US
14:56
News and World Report ranked diets. People always say Keto's the way to go.
15:01
That's been the hot one for a couple of years. That actually falls
15:03
pretty flat. It's ranked last overall because of last. It is last,
15:07
dead last, right above what the ice cream diet. I mean, come
15:11
on within the diet, the realm of diets, not right above the seafood
15:18
diet. Seafood I'm they're saying, because you're cutting out healthy garbs. Hoofda.
15:24
Now they do say does spoiler? I did read the same list.
15:28
They say it's effective is like losing weight quickly. You know, it's very
15:31
effective in that way, But it's just like long term because there's two types
15:35
of health. In my mind, I'm not an expert here. You know,
15:37
there's like lose weight now health and then there's like unhealthy, am I
15:41
kill you kind of thing? Yeah? No, totally. That one I
15:45
generally am less concerned about. Can I lose the weight now? Well?
15:48
The diet that they're recommending for seven years in a row pike, that's number
15:52
one is the Mediterranean diet, and that is whole unprocessed foods, alive oil,
15:56
whole grains, being seafood and leafy greens. I feel like that one
16:00
I could jump on board with. I've never really tried it. You and
16:03
I are both pretty much on the intermittent fasting. Yeah, I can see
16:07
only seafood, you know, like, that's a lot of fish. There's
16:11
a lot of different kinds of fish, and you can do it. Damn
16:12
ten go mahi maso walleye trout. What's that front where they am in?
16:23
They're like, oh, would you like the mahi mahi? Actually, I'm
16:26
not that hungry. Could I just have the one? God? I just
16:30
go for the one mahi. And It's been a while since I've done any
16:33
sort of gaming, but I used to love a good round of Tetris.
16:37
That was always so fun. It's therapeutic for me. I still do it.
16:38
As an adult. If I'm bored, If you ever wonder what I'm
16:41
doing in my office, that's what you're doing. Got it? Well,
16:44
there's a thirteen year old. It's the first person to break the Tetris game.
16:48
Because think about it. Has anybody ever said, oh, yeah,
16:49
I conquered it all. I never broke the games, but I'd break my
16:52
controller because I kept losing. So you couldn't do it. Oh that's hilarious.
16:57
Well, I guess you can get to level two hundred and fift.
17:00
Well this kid he got to one fifty seven and that's kind of where it
17:03
hit crashed. Oh, it just couldn't handle it because you know, I
17:06
don't know what level it gets super quick, but you all know the feeling.
17:08
You think your cruise and you think you're a genius, and then you
17:11
make one wrong mistake or your finger slips, and all of a sudden,
17:14
it just boom boom boom boom. Do I want it done? I would
17:17
love to find an old school Nintendo and try this again to see how far
17:19
I could go. When our band packs up and we got to get everything
17:22
in the trailer, you know, we like to call it sort of a
17:25
little Tetris game. Everything's got a certain way it's got to go in.
17:29
You know, that's how people feel like costco to or Sam's Club when you're
17:32
packing in the back of your vehicle. Yeah, it's not the same.
17:33
Yeah. Sorry, I'm not in a band. I just free shop like
17:40
a minute in the morning on a big nutty eight points seven. I don't
17:42
want to say this is weird, okay, because I'm not in this situation.
17:45
I can't imagine being in this horrific situation. All I'll say is just
17:48
this is an interesting situation. I want to hear what you think about it.
17:52
Because this woman who's now a widow, sadly lost her husband a couple
17:56
weeks ago. Now she's in Australia. Now that's important because laws are different
18:00
in Australia. So apparently before he tragically died, they had planned to have
18:04
a child. She's sixty four years old. Oh okay, okay, husband
18:08
tragically passes away the day after she's making a plea to extract her deceased husband's
18:15
seed. Oh get out of here, so stop so they can still proceed
18:19
with having a child now. Sadly, the reason that, yeah, he's
18:25
dead, he's gone, so the seeds are still alive and thicking it in
18:30
there. I feel like that's a good question. That's gonna be my first
18:33
question. I mean, I don't And also, how do you extract?
18:37
I mean what now she was granted permission to extract the seed from the body.
18:45
How how that's gonna happen? I don't know. I mean a doctor's
18:51
gonna have to do this, right, I mean what. Here's a problem
18:56
though, the use of reproductive cells after death is against the law where she
19:00
is in Australia, So she's okay, take the seed and then can she
19:04
go to a different country to implant the seed to then have a baby.
19:10
That's a good point because the widow is now seeking to use the seed in
19:12
another state where the practice is legal. I mean, nailed it. I
19:18
get you want to have a baby, and that was your guys' plan and
19:22
all of that. Here's another caveat to add to the sadness. They had
19:25
lost. They had two adult children and they both tragically died in an accident.
19:29
Oh gosh, they no longer had any children. They wanted to have
19:32
another. She says she would plan after the extraction, plan to use a
19:37
surrogate again. She's sixty four years old. So were you out on that?
19:40
I mean, is that sort of sweet? I mean, I get
19:42
wanting to have the future of your family. None. Yeah, the fact
19:48
you've lost two kids and now your husband, I mean, holy smokes,
19:52
that is just tragic all together. I mean, I think you nailed it
19:56
when you said, holy smokes. Yeah, I I guess extract away again.
20:02
It's just interesting to me. I'm curious. I'm like, I'm curious
20:04
like a cat, you know me, of course, I just want to
20:07
know how that works. Peaking, you know, pre death. I'm more
20:12
than familiar with that process, right, but it's just after the death it's
20:18
a mystery. I know. I hope she has some family to really wrap
20:21
their arms around her, because my mind is in a million miles an hour,
20:25
and now here's a good, you know reason to uh beforehand, it's
20:27
never a bad idea to, you know, throw some in the deep freeze,
20:33
because you never know. Yep, you got any room in that deep
20:36
freeze for Nick. I think he's close. I think he's close to I
20:41
think this. I think I think we're done planting. Okay, like a
20:48
minute in the morning, this lady got dumb, she said anyway on Reddit,
20:51
which I never believe anything on the internet. But in this case,
20:53
she says she was dating a guy, things are going well, and tell
20:56
she revealed to him that she likes to put corn in her spaghetti okay,
21:02
and this I threw him off so much bizarre He was offended. He said,
21:06
listen, if I made you like a nice spaghetti dish and you ruined
21:08
it by putting corn in it, that would offend me. And so five
21:11
minutes later, after they had this conversation, he just text her and said,
21:15
yeah, I can't do this. We're done. It's so dumb.
21:17
It is so dumb. It is so dumb. But I do a lot
21:19
of food things too that I probably am turning people off by, Like I
21:23
couldn't if I was dating. It would have to be a year into the
21:26
relationship before I ate traditional wings in front of you because you've seen it,
21:32
Yeah, or a Chinese buffet for instance. That's got to be like marriage.
21:36
You didn't take Laura into a Chinese buffet before you got married, did
21:38
you. Well, that's part of the test, of course I did.
21:44
I mean with the traditional wings, I ripped those those bait think of the
21:47
cleanest traditional bone you've seen after somebody ate it and then some like no my
21:51
husband, yes, Like he'll come in after me. He's like, you
21:53
didn't even finish that. I'm like, yeah, I did. No,
21:56
no, no, no, no, Daddy's got more work to do.
22:00
It's not done until you've sucked the bone marrow out of it. Oh,
22:03
it's so disgusting. But there are so many weird food combos. The corn
22:07
in the spaghetti that one is gonna be odd to me. Have never seen
22:08
anybody anything other than like, if it's sweet, then of course I don't
22:11
want corn in there. But anything that's like meaty potato, bready, corny
22:17
vegetables. I put corn in everything I love, like tater tot hottish,
22:21
I don't up here. That's like a big discussion of what goes in there.
22:23
Yes, corn goes in there every single That's actually the only vegetable I
22:26
put in our tater tot hot Really, we don't go with the mixed bag
22:30
like green beans, carrots. It's just the corn. Pretty simple stuff.
22:33
Huh. Now, I think the vegetables more than Maria for me. I
22:36
love the texture, I love the crunch. I'm a sweet and salty person.
22:40
So I find myself doing and I feel like this is pretty normal nowadays.
22:44
But you grab a French fry and put it in ice cream like that
22:47
is. If I go and get like a little dequ or any sort of
22:49
vanilla ice cream, I have to get a side of fries or put chips
22:52
in it, that kind of thing. Yeah, I'm not crumbling chips up
22:56
in my Yeah, I guess I've never done that. That actually kind of
22:59
sounds oh, settled down, some ripple chips crumbled up in just a little
23:03
ripple. Yeah, I like them ridged, Yeah, ridged. You know,
23:07
I usually save that for the French onion dip. But I don't love
23:10
a good rid hip. Do you have any weird food things that might turn
23:11
somebody off? So I feel bad for my son. He's in a really
23:15
weird stage where he's dipping everything and all kinds of stuff and we just watch
23:18
him and it's hard to even eat around him. And I know he's only
23:22
three, How are you doing this? Like he'll grab like a thing of
23:25
broccoli and put it in the ketchup, or he'll drop something in milk.
23:27
I know, I'm like ketchup. I know I have a friend who's like,
23:30
so do he can't be around ketchup, can't be near him, or
23:33
he'll throw People are that way. But it is a weird one where I
23:37
obviously love it on like fries and a burger and a hot dog, But
23:40
that's about it. Ketchup in any other context is pretty gross. See.
23:44
I don't actually mind it now that my kids are a little If it hits
23:45
a chicken finger, I'm like, oh no, that's actually kind of okay
23:49
with me. Oh honey, not a chance. Last night we had pickles
23:55
wrapped in ham and cream cheese in a tortilla, and my son was like,
23:59
not having that, but my daughter love that. Oh that sounds really
24:00
good. I know. You know what else would I think would turn somebody
24:03
off about my food stuff is if you ever see me eat shrimp like I
24:07
eat the whole shrimp, the tail, everything. There's not a the crunchy
24:11
tail. I eat the whole thing. No, like the full I'm understanding.
24:15
Like, when you have like the full shell on the side and not
24:18
just the tail, you will eat that whole thing. Yeah, how do
24:21
you even swallow and digest that without getting knifed? We eat chew it up
24:25
good. Even that text hurts a little on the way up. Not that
24:29
I can't deal with, like get a Manda in the morning. Come on,
24:33
Big seven, Are you doing dry January? I know as of yesterday
24:37
you said you sort of were, but sort of not. Yeah, No,
24:40
I'm doing dry ish January. I'm gonna do my best to not drink
24:42
as much. I mean, I'm not gonna like hold myself to a oh
24:45
my gosh, I'm not gonna go. For instance, tonight, it's a
24:48
big happy hour over at the local seven oh one from four to six,
24:51
frosty cold free beer. I'm gonna go there. I'm gonna enjoy the cold
24:52
beer. And I'm just not gonna dive headfirst into what I've normally been doing.
24:57
Okay, you know, now that's great, and I know that's good
25:00
for you. But and I don't want to be the gatekeeper of dry January.
25:03
But don't try to act. Don't try to lump yourself in with the
25:06
come on out. Absolutely not. That's why I said dry ish. Yeah,
25:08
I just get that word out of your mouth. Get that dry out
25:11
of your mouth now. I'm just I'm just kidding to January. Oh mind
25:17
sopping wet. But a lot of people are participating in dry January. You
25:21
know, there's a lot of benefits, whether it's financial, you know,
25:23
coming out of the holiday season with travel lists and all of that, it's
25:27
a good month to just reset. And if you're going out to eat,
25:30
you know how much cheaper it is if you're not buying like just two drinks
25:33
a person. It's insane. Yes, if you ever go out. My
25:37
husband and I will go for lunch and we're like, wow, that was
25:38
pretty cheap. It's like, well, yeah, because we're not drinking cocktails
25:42
or a glass of wine or whatever. Well listen, yeah, and when
25:45
you look at the receipt, it's like, my wife's I wish she drank
25:48
cores light. You guys, start drink generally is three times it's expensive of
25:52
whatever I'm drinking. But this woman, she's in this little documentary about dry
25:56
January, she said she did it once six years ago and it stuck.
25:59
And they're saying that a lot of people this happens because you know, you're
26:02
probably if you're doing dry January, might have just been contemplating for a while,
26:06
like I should probably maybe cut back or just stop drinking. Yeah,
26:08
So she didn't. She's estimated in six years she has saved approximately forty eight
26:14
thousand dollars. Holy bananas. Yeah, just my not drinking, she says.
26:18
Her husband says she's a cheap date, which is probably true. Yeah.
26:22
I mean, because you think about how much you waste and then if
26:25
you're having toddies and then you're like, oh, hey, I'm gonna get
26:27
you one, and I'm gonna get this run. I mean, it adds
26:30
up so quick. If I were to look at our bank account in what
26:33
we spent basically November through December just with get togethers, happy hours, people
26:40
all that stuff. It's like, jeez, I can't even complain about financials
26:44
because I made those, you know the problem. Yeah, it's like,
26:45
yeah, what first said. Yeah, I would love to give it a
26:48
try, but unfortunately it just can't. I just not this month. You
26:52
know, it's just not a good month for it. Yeah, but that's
26:53
like, sorry, excuse so, because that's what you're gonna say next month
26:57
when it's something else. There's always something You look at your calendar and I
27:00
look at the things I got going on, whether it's like a wedding or
27:03
a show with my band, and it's like, well, I just can't
27:06
imagine not having a big old beer. Yeah. Well, that's why I
27:10
am not being hard on myself. I just want to be able to just
27:12
be as healthy as I can be and not dive headfirst into the cocktails.
27:17
Every chance you get dustin from Happy Harry's Bottlestops. You weren't here last year,
27:21
but he started bringing in because he knows so many people are trying dry
27:22
January. Yeah, And it's amazing to me how these liquor companies are creating
27:29
cocktails. It'll be interesting to see if you try, cause you like some
27:33
fun drinks and things like that. They've made them so it's not like I
27:37
remember when I was pregnant and it's like, oh, you want a beer
27:40
and you'd have like a Budweiser na or a bush na. Yeah, Like,
27:42
okay, that's fine. It makes you feel like you're so part of
27:45
the Yeah. But they're making mocktails now, and even just the generation below
27:49
us that's what they drink, are kind of mocktails. It's crazy. I
27:52
know, Like when we went to I just got back from Florida and my
27:56
wife's dad, he was a beer guy, like he loved he's retired.
27:59
Now he goes to the same bar every day. Yeah, it opens at
28:02
eleven. He gets to the parking lot at ten to fifteen just to make
28:04
sure. But he still goes even though he stopped drinking now, so he
28:08
just drinks NA beer and he like crushes Ana beer like, you know,
28:14
like he'll have six because some people just genuinely like the flavor. Yeah,
28:18
and it's just kind of a habit that I don't know. He calls them
28:22
his expensive waters. Okay, that's hilarious. That's a good line. That
28:26
is good. He really really thought it was a good line because he says
28:30
it. You know, somebody should also patent that and make that an NA
28:33
beer expensive water. Well, I don't know how good it is as far
28:37
as marketing goes, but it's still like it a minute in the morning,
28:41
big naety eight points seven. I don't know my you. But this is
28:42
sort of the progression of me knowing about Gypsy Rows. Had no idea who
28:47
that person was. Starting to see a lot of headlines, a lot of
28:48
social media posts. Then I was interested. I'm like, okay, what's
28:51
this Gypsy Rows situation? Then I read about it. Then I read more
28:53
about it, and now, well, consider me completely sucked in. Did
28:57
you give her a follow on all of her social media outline? I did?
29:00
I did, And I know I want to talk about just the whole
29:03
situation first of all, but then her most recent Instagram comment she's made to
29:07
her husband, and I know you have some information on this husband, because
29:11
she just got out of jail. If you're just now finding out about this.
29:15
This is the thirty two year old woman who when she was a kid,
29:18
horrible situation. Her mom was basically doing the thing where she was making
29:22
her pretend to be sick. Right, what is it Munchausen syndrome. Yeah,
29:25
yeah, And so she was in a wheelchair and her mom was just
29:29
doing these horrible, horrible things. She had a feeding tube, She thought
29:32
she had leukemia, right, she thought she was Actually it was a three
29:36
or four years younger than she was, so when she was eighteen, she
29:38
thought she was fifteen. So she was always kind of talking like a baby
29:42
too. She never really had any interaction. But also not only did the
29:47
doctors go through with all these procedures, which is a whole situation in itself.
29:52
I mean, she was getting makeup wishes, she had a house built
29:55
from her, from habitat, from humanity. It was wild and none of
29:57
it was real correct. So eventually she got this boyfriend. She met somebody
30:02
online, this guy, and she convinced this guy to kill her mom,
30:06
and so he did. He came to the house, stabbed her to death.
30:08
They go to prison. He's in prison for a life, the guy
30:11
who did the stabbing. She was in prison for what twelve years? She
30:15
did I think eight years, and she was supposed to be in for ten.
30:18
So they let her go early. So she's out. Now, she's
30:19
got her Instagram, She's becoming the internet celebrity. And I'm just a little
30:23
like confused on how I feel about it, you know, because did you
30:27
go through a horrible, horrible child that, yes, but you also convinced
30:30
somebody to kill your mom, and that was all within your mindset. That's
30:37
not the only way out. And she, of course, and she is
30:40
now. She has a lifetime documentary that is going to be running with her
30:42
side of the story Friday, Saturday and Sunday. And she has said,
30:45
she goes. I want to be able to tell people you can get out,
30:49
you shouldn't have to go. I regret this every day of my life.
30:52
It's like, of course you do. But also it happened. So
30:56
she's married now, yeah, okay, so when she was released last week
30:59
from prison, her husband she was already married in prison. Okay, so
31:03
this went down because do you remember during COVID when Tiger King was a thing.
31:07
Of course, so this I'll never forget. Right. So this teacher,
31:10
he's a special ed teacher. Him and one of us coworkers were like
31:12
into all these shows. She was into Tiger King, he was into Mommy
31:17
Dearis, which was the story of Gypsy Rose. She said, I'm gonna
31:19
write Tiger King a letter. He goes, you do that, I'm gonna
31:22
write Gypsy Rose as a joke, and they fell in love and ended up
31:26
getting married. No way, list his name is Ryan, right, that's
31:30
the company has named Ryan. So apparently he's getting a lot of hate online.
31:33
And so Gypsy Rose made a comment on one of his Instagram posts and
31:38
if you're ready for this, she said, Ryan, don't listen to the
31:41
haters. I love you and you love me. We're a happy family.
31:45
No oh, I was like, gonna stop it. She recited the entire
31:48
Barney song. Now she says, we do not know anyone anything. Our
31:52
family is who matters. If you get likes and good comments, great.
31:56
If you get hate, then whatever, because they don't matter. I love
31:59
you. Besides, here's where it gets good. They jealous because you are
32:02
rocking my world every night. Okay, yeah, I said it. The
32:07
d is fire, Oh my gosh, Gypsy, happy wife, happy life
32:14
heart emoji. So if you've not watched any of them, so I did
32:17
not watch Mommy Terarist. I watched that act. I know I can't Laura
32:22
Lauren? Can you? Can you do? You? Could you drop a
32:28
comment or two like that on my Instagram? That'd be great, get these
32:30
hatas away. But the best part for me, I can't she in the
32:38
act? This is the one I watched on Hulu. She still talks like
32:43
she's young. It's like when you listen to her Instagram post, she still
32:46
talks like this. I've never heard her. You haven't. You want to
32:52
watch some of this stuff? It is, it's mind blowing. But I'm
32:54
with you. I think the whole reason we're even bringing this up is should
32:57
she be out of jail? So there's two things for me. Am I
33:00
saying she shouldn't be out of jail because she Yeah, she didn't actually do
33:04
the killing, so she served her time. That's one thing. But do
33:07
we need to be like celebrating her. Does she need to be a celebrity.
33:12
I mean, read the comments. People are obsessed with this person.
33:15
What did she do? Yeah, she had a horrible childhood, But what's
33:17
not like pedestalizer? No, But I think it's just it's human nature to
33:22
just be in, Like I am, just all in of what are you
33:25
gonna do? Because last week I thought she was gonna end up. James
33:29
had a plot that because she wanted to go see Taylor Swift because she loved
33:31
her and was gonna get tickets to the Chiefs game so she could go and
33:36
see. And I'm like, he thought maybe she'd kill Taylor Swift. Indeed,
33:42
the twist like a Menda in the morning on Big Nutty eight point seven.
33:50
Speaking of Amanda, you're happily married now, of course, But you
33:52
did go through a time there where you were dating and you were using apps,
33:55
correct, I did? Uh? The one that I used back in
33:59
the day was Bumble, Oh, the old bumble. You were buzzing around,
34:04
huzzing around in that bee high for about three to four months and yeah,
34:08
rough go. Well, a lot of people can relate a lot of
34:12
people getting tired of your normal dating apps Tinder, bumble Hinge, what have
34:15
you. And so there's a new trend out there that people are discovering actually
34:21
works better than these apps. Yeah, because we've had a lot of younger
34:24
interns that are still kind of in the dating world. And honestly, I
34:27
have some friends who are older and it seems like dating apps have turned into
34:31
just hook up land. Yeah, like it's very rare you're able to like
34:35
find sure not to mention people I know who are on dating apps, especially
34:38
in a town the size of Fargo. It's like you've been through the lineup
34:42
a few times. It's like, okay, this guy again, and then
34:45
eventually you just get desperate. It's like, all right, we'll give him
34:46
a shot. Finally, Oh, let's do it. But no, Google
34:50
docs is the new trend care we use every day. Yes, our shared
34:55
document Pike, a man and I share a Google document. Now, all
34:59
I gotta do is in certain my stats, my interests, Hinda, and
35:02
you see see if you like it? So how do you go about this?
35:07
Now? People are creating a dating document for themselves. So just a
35:10
Google document. You can share it and you just write down all of your
35:15
interests, your gender, your location, preference for monogamy or polyamory, oh
35:21
gosh, yep, and whether you're part of any special interest community and bada
35:24
being bata boom. You share it. People go through and you can look
35:27
at it. Now, here's the cool thing. Some people are even saying
35:30
that like their family will share the documents. So you just share this doc
35:34
with anybody, and so I can go around to you know, i'd probably
35:37
want a finder's fee, got it? But if I can find you a
35:39
date, I'll just show them your document. So my cousin Jared, he's
35:45
like, ah, gosh, really looking for a lady. I can just
35:46
go to my Facebook page and say, hey, ladies, Jared look at
35:52
his Google document. Yes, so good. That's the piece I was missing
35:57
from dating apps. It's like this private little world that people aren't allowed in
36:00
unless you are single and looking. So I think I think it's a great
36:04
idea. Can we get like grandma's and moms to get in on this.
36:07
I am hoping because right now there's a lot of stuff on social media where
36:09
it's like okay, whatever, this is a scam. This is this.
36:14
I want the older generation to start getting these Google documents and hooking up relatives.
36:19
This would make I'd go through them just for fun. I don't know
36:22
how many of that generators are using shared Google documents, but you to do
36:24
it. TELLM the copy and paste it in the link. Well, we
36:28
could start with your grandma Milli or is she still taken? She is still
36:30
taken? Yeah? Still? Are you kidding me, dainty boy going steady?
36:34
Oh yeah they are? And your grandma's how old? She just turned
36:37
ninety six? Wow? Yeah? And I think he just turned ninety back
36:42
in September. So she's got herself a young pop and they still just dating.
36:45
I mean, are they at any point they're gonna lock it down?
36:49
Well? No, they do sleepovers. They go to the Legion and Morehead.
36:52
You know this about them. I mean they're really keeping things alive.
36:55
Would they be interested in maybe settling down one day with a I don't think
37:00
sell No, I don't think so. I think I think they just keep
37:01
their options open. I'm just kidding. After Okay, say we could set
37:07
her up at the Google document But I just enjoy this. I think this
37:12
will be good for people. I think so too, and I think there
37:14
should be a little bit of a fee, a little bit of a you
37:15
know, refer a friend kind of fifty dollars bonus, or at least I
37:21
get to go on the first date, get a free meal out of it,
