Full Recap of The Low Standards Show at Happy Harry's Ribfest · Podcast - Big 98.7

0:00
You know, there's a bit of an epidemic going around the world. I
0:03
don't mean to spook yet nothing nothing, nothing like that. But people are
0:08
not getting married at the rate they used to. I've seen that. Yeah,
0:13
some countries are taking issue with that, Like over in Japan, for
0:17
example, the government has had to step in because they're tired of people trying
0:21
to date and not being successful. They need marriages, they need traditional family
0:25
units. So they now implement their own government dating app. Nothing like the
0:31
government watching over your dating life, all right, I mean, but I
0:35
mean, let me tell you a little bit about it, then you can
0:36
judge, because I know people have all sorts of qualms with dating apps over
0:40
here in the US OFA. But now this government dating app is going to
0:45
require people to have ID verification, which I think would be great. I
0:49
mean really, just like in all Internet social media's, wouldn't that be nice
0:53
to know every single person on there is a legitimate shit? Right? That
0:56
would solve a lot of issues. Also, you're gonna have to turn in
1:00
your tax records to prove your income. We can't have people out there in
1:03
the dating world lying about their income. All right. I'm a huge fan
1:07
of that. Especially later on in the dating world where you're like, what's
1:11
really going on here? Well, that's gonna really I mean, those are
1:15
one of those things like, you know, you like to you like to
1:19
have a chance to win them over before they find out things like possibly a
1:25
low to zero income you know that, or is credit score on there or
1:29
anything like that. I don't know if they go as far as to have
1:32
the old the old Fico score, it would be interesting, because yeah,
1:37
you sometimes you fall in love with somebody and then it's like, hey,
1:41
it's okay, we can build this together, or we can do this or
1:44
whatever it may be. But credit score is that's not fair. That's not
1:49
a fair metric, because we all know things can happen early in your twenties
1:53
when you rent Home Alone two from cash Wise Video and don't return it for
1:56
six months and the store closes and then you think you've just won that it's
2:00
your movie and you don't have to pay, and it goes to collections,
2:02
and because you move every twelve months, you can't keep up with your mail
2:07
and so you have no idea, only to find out years later when you
2:09
get a loan with your band that you've got the lowest score by far,
2:15
and nobody in the right mind would ever lend you anything. Wow, that
2:19
one hit home. We've all had that happen. Okay, happy to report.
2:24
Years later we've got it back up to So no fighting score, So
2:30
yeah, no fight, go score. But you're gonna have to also have
2:34
a proof of your height, which I know is an issue on dating apps.
2:37
But even then, okay, let's go with your driver's license. They
2:39
should have way what you actually weigh. I think I do now finally,
2:45
but for the past eight years I was at least twenty pounds off. You
2:49
just can't. What are you supposed to do? Update it? Like call
2:51
the DMV, Like, hey, guys, like packed on a few this
2:53
winter? Can I come in for a reway? No, but don't you?
2:55
I mean most people are lying about that. Absolutely they should. Your
3:00
profile picture should be used like a mugshot where you're standing up against the measuring
3:05
and then you're also on a scale, so it's just literally your height and
3:07
weight. What if your dating profile picture was your driver's license picture? Now
3:12
that would be hilarious. Oh that would be fair for the dating website.
3:15
They're always they're no good. No, Although I'm pretty pleased with mine right
3:20
now? My when it was right after I got married, I just had
3:23
to re up mine and I was like, the last one was way better.
3:27
Oh yeah yeah, but nobody ever asked for it anymore, no,
3:30
which is also really depressing that you don't get ID. Yes, nothing makes
3:36
me happier than It's like, can I see your ID? Heck, yes,
3:38
your cat, I'd love to show it to you. Yeah, here
3:40
you are. Then, also, in this dating app that the Japanese government
3:45
is creating, you have to provide your proof of your job and your education
3:47
level. Okay, so we're just that's basic. I love it, Like
3:53
just it seems like that would never be a thing, Like the US government
3:55
would never get involved in something like this, But then over in Japan,
3:58
it's like it's totally fun. That would be pretty wild. Imagine those social
4:01
media complains then if the government was now involved in our dating life, like
4:06
what like what what would those complaints? I mean they complain about just like
4:12
normal things. I mean they show I mean I don't know. You can
4:15
imagine though, right you can told you can hear them? Now you could?
4:18
You can't? Yeah, Like name one, I'll be naughty and I
4:21
don't speak like that in the morning, Big Natty eight point seven. Well,
4:26
here we are, man, I know everybody's been texting and calling,
4:29
going when the heck are you guys going to talk about the weekend? I
4:30
mean here, for what felt like months, you were promoting this big show
4:33
at Happy Harry's rip Fest. Yes I was, of course Eve six was
4:38
the headliner, but the opening act was popular local band, low standards.
4:42
I think most people are thinking, do we have to hear about these guys.
4:45
I'm gad, well, maybe this will be Maybe we go out on
4:46
a high note, because I do have to happily report that it was a
4:51
high note. Yeah, on Friday night opening for Eve six, Amanda,
4:56
the best experience of our lives. I mean we've played a lot of shows,
4:58
you know, famously over tenth now in the Fargamort area, and I
5:01
think this is number one. I mean, just from the beginning, the
5:04
crowd out there for an opening act, the accommodations. I mean, here's
5:09
LS pulling up to the backstage at Happy Harry's Ridfest and they say, here's
5:13
your trailer. There's beer and water and girls in there, and then we're
5:17
all turns out it was just a chummy little joke. The road guide,
5:21
Oh gotcha, like, oh your wives were in there? There were no
5:26
girls, but it was just the best we got on stage, and of
5:29
course the pre party, the low standards experience was amazing in the Happy Harry's
5:33
ten. So Dustin just knocked it out of the park. You were a
5:38
great host, Amanda. Thank you. Oh gosh, no, no problem,
5:41
but yeah, huge shout out to Dustin from Happy Harry's Bottle Shops.
5:44
Meant all the work and effort he puts into Happy Harry's rip Fest and all
5:47
the sponsors like, it was just so fun to be out there. It
5:49
was such a good vibe. Of course, the rivers, they theyre always
5:54
a good time. I don't know, I just I'm kind of sad it's
5:56
over. I know, back to the show. I mean, we go
6:00
up there. Amanda does the stage introduction. It was okay, hang on,
6:04
do I still have this text because I feel like this is what Pike
6:08
made me say on stage? This is this is worthy? Ever read well?
6:12
She was, you know, she does with the stage intro like which
6:14
in radio land is when you go up there and get the crowd hyped up,
6:17
piped up and I had to say this, well, I wrote you
6:20
a script correct because I didn't want to like being in the band. I
6:24
didn't want to be doing this weird double duty. So I was like,
6:27
I'm not going to do anything. You just say this, okay. It
6:29
would have been classic if you would have brought yourself on sure, but I
6:33
said, and now it is the greatest pleasure of my life to introduce this
6:39
next band. You might know them from their earlier days at the Pickled Parrot,
6:43
or from their interesting personalities, or from writing the intro to Pike's Prank
6:47
on Pike and Amanda in the morning. Ladies and gentlemen from Fargo, North
6:53
Dakota, please make some noise for is this Did you guys just change your
6:57
name to popular local Bandlow Standards. I kind of like it. I kind
7:01
of like that Slow Standards, And the crowd's going nuts the whole time.
7:04
I don't even think they heard what you were saying, because they were just
7:06
screaming. There was like it's showtime, and we hit the first note of
7:10
nineteen eighty five by bowling for Soup, which was funny because later in the
7:14
night when Eve six was on stage, which is awesome, the singer Max
7:16
gave us a shout out. Did you hear that? No? So he
7:19
to the crowd said uh, and he said I'll forgive him. But he
7:23
did say no standards. He said, make some noise for no standards.
7:28
I got close enough and he said, you know, it's funny because I
7:30
didn't think I liked any of those songs, but after hearing them the cover
7:33
songs were playing, He's like, I, actually, you know nineteen eighty
7:35
five, I really liked it, which is the first song we played you
7:39
know who who who? Oh? No, I'm aware, and that's the
7:42
year I was born. I mean for a whole hour. Man, it
7:45
was just I mean, in my mind I was at Woodstock ninety nine,
7:48
baby like it was crazy happy. Here he's Ribfest twenty twenty four. That
7:54
is your Woodstock. Got to meet the band, like not just meet eve
7:57
six, but like legit, just hang out with them for were they so
8:01
cool? I mean the coolest. So then, Amanda, now they thought
8:03
you were no standards. That's fine. Did you say, now we got
8:07
a little standards? I said to him, I, hey, hey,
8:09
listen, you guys want us to open anywhere, anytime, just name the
8:11
place. So yeah, sounds good, so maybe it might be they've probably
8:15
never heard that before. Well, and then we of course were feeling the
8:18
band is on such a high, like we're just now in celebration, celebration
8:22
mode, so we end up, you know, bebopping over after a happy
8:24
year, He's ripfest is over. We go to Labby's. People are buying
8:28
a shot to this. I literally met a guy who bought us a shot,
8:31
and he showed me his Facebook feed, Amanda, and he had posted
8:35
on his own without ever even meeting me, it said low standards or Eve
8:39
six should have opened for low standards tonight, he posted, you paid him
8:45
to write that post that. Then we end up be bopping over to the
8:48
windbreak where our friends in the band Eighth hour A went to. We had
8:52
after all this, we had that ten personeub I was talking about the wind
8:56
break, and from there I am like in no position to probably be in
9:01
public, let alone get on stage. But the band saw me and they're
9:05
like, Pike, get up here, come play a song. Eight hour
9:09
So they want me to come up and play a song in Amanda. That's
9:11
not a good idea. I felt so bad for anybody in attendance at the
9:15
windbreak Saturday night because I did not play a single note correct, I'm sure
9:18
of it, but nonetheless it was a great time. We ended up getting
9:22
back into an uber after trying to eat at the gas station next door.
9:26
It turns out that restaurant's closed. My wife told me later that I was
9:30
trying to get into a door because I thought the restaurant was on the other
9:33
side of it. So Cody, my band made, and I we each
9:35
had herse set of keys out trying to see which key work. Oh,
9:39
did they give you a key years ago for that? No, it turns
9:41
out it wasn't. It was a closet and you're not going to believe this.
9:45
The best part of the night is we get into it. We're not
9:48
there yet. We're headed to Perkins because it's the only place open, and
9:52
we're in this uber, my wife, Cody, my bandmate, and Jordan,
9:54
his wife, and Cody's sleeping. He's got to tucker it out.
10:00
Uber driver starts making conversation. I think I said, did you go out
10:03
to Happy ear He's rip best at all, Probably gave some rides, right,
10:07
I'm not kidding. He said, yeah. Actually, some people earlier
10:11
were saying that the opening band and my heart stopped. But what is he
10:16
gonna say was terrible? Like, don't I don't know, he said somebody
10:22
told him that the opening band was better than the headliner. And now,
10:28
no disrespect to Eve six, because let's be clear, like, as a
10:31
cover band, you have the advantage of playing only super duper popular songs that
10:37
everybody loves, correct, whereas Eve six, like they actually wrote some hits
10:39
of their own. But nonetheless, a man, I like freaked out,
10:43
like are you kidding me? As if this I couldn't get any gone any
10:46
better? Tell me you said that's me, that's my band. Yeah,
10:50
I'm literally shaking Cody awake, I mean Cody, Cody, you got to
10:54
here with this? Guy just said, like, you're not gonna believe this,
10:56
sir, You're not gonna believe this uber view that we just got from
11:01
somebody. It turns out he was just making conversation. He didn't really care
11:03
all that much. Oh but that's great, Okay, it was great.
11:07
So ended up getting the whole pie. Yeah, they wouldn't make food because
11:09
it was too close to closing time or something, and you ate a whole
11:13
pie. Yeah, Well they got him under the glass there, so they
11:16
they were able to sell me a pie, And so I sat there and
11:18
destroyed and it was more of a cheesecake than a pie. So over the
11:22
next forty eight hours I ate an entire cheesecake. And so what a celebration,
11:28
what a weekend. Thank you to everybody who came out to Happy Ears
11:31
RedFest to support the cost. It was a great week And wouldn't you say
11:33
thank you for everybody who has no standards? So good? Did I get
11:39
a Manda in the morning? Seven Speak of the Devil's a little spoiler.
11:46
The band did perform this song in front of a big old crowd, and
11:50
boy, what'd you think? Good? Do you remember or were you back
11:54
at the bar? That might have been chit chatting? But uh, I
11:56
mean coming hot off of a LS so from a few weeks ago, I
12:01
can only imagine how great it was. Yeah, well, I can't wait
12:03
to tell you all about it. But man, it's now time for is
12:07
it weird? Where we discuss the things we do and how weird they may
12:11
or may not be. That is for us to determine. So would you
12:13
like to go first? Yeah? So, okay, kind of serious,
12:16
but it is very annoying to me when people tag my mom who passed away
12:22
on Facebook, like within a post, not realizing that. I mean,
12:26
they're just like tagging her in. You know how some people do like the
12:28
weird adding people to a post, and it's like like a spamy thing.
12:33
Sometimes it's spam, sometimes it's not. It's just super annoying to me,
12:37
and I kind of want to just like slide into their dms and be like,
12:41
she passed away, just to be rude. I know that sounds terrible,
12:43
but it drives me. Not terrible, No, I think that's totally
12:46
valid. Well, it depends on what the post is. Like, you
12:50
see this so many times anytime on Facebook. You see somebody was tagged and
12:54
like you had not seen a post from them, whether they've passed away or
12:56
not. It's like it's always spam for the most part. It's like somebody
13:00
selling ray bands or right now, oh my god, did you see who
13:03
died? And it's just like a mystery link. So I don't obviously scroll
13:07
her Facebook page on the regular. It was her birthday a couple of weeks
13:09
ago, and now I started going through and there is somebody who must have
13:13
been hacked and they have like all these family photos of people who are like,
13:16
hey, click this link for crypto and like all the money they've made,
13:20
but it looks like these are just so within like my memoriam of my
13:24
mom. There's these like random family photos of people I don't know, and
13:28
it is driving me crazy. Oh that's so great. Can't you like shut
13:31
it down? So I the page I did the like whatever you can like
13:35
click to say it spam. Yeah, but Facebook they probably don't care.
13:39
They're not taking it. Yeah. But for me, it's more like the
13:43
visual, like going back and looking at stuff and then there's these random pictures
13:46
you got to sift through crypto stuff drives me out. And the way the
13:50
crypto scam things work, it's crazy. I had a family member too that
13:52
was like suddenly posting all these new like this property he had bought. Yes,
13:58
and then you're kind of wondering, jeez, what the heck is Jeff
14:00
been up to? But then they slow play it and eventually he's like,
14:03
I just got my certification for crypto. It's like, really, this guy
14:07
is seventy, probably doesn't know how to use a phone, but here he
14:09
is certified for crypto. But some of these people are taking over these pages
14:13
and people are clicking on it and getting scammed nuts anyway. I mean,
14:20
I don't think that's weird, to be fair, So you don't think it'd
14:24
be weird if I like. But the thing is is, if I even
14:26
message him, it's probably not them anymore. They've probably lost access to their
14:30
Facebook page, right that they're getting cryptoed. Yeah, I would guess so,
14:35
But I'm just thinking about Jeff. Sorry to go back to Jeff Crypto
14:39
Jeff, my dad's second cousin. Yeah, he keeps like reappearing as real
14:45
Jeff. Oh, so he's kind of weaving in and out of crypto rich
14:48
guy Jeff scammer to suddenly it'll be real Jeff again. Interesting. You know,
14:54
he's one of these guys who has like eleven Facebook profiles, so it's
14:58
hard to keep drapped. Chances are him and these scammers these a little tug
15:03
of war. They keep winning the page back over all, Right, So
15:05
maybe I'll slide in to the deal. And then the sick part is there
15:09
are times where I'll be like, I don't know, maybe he did get
15:13
into crypto. You're questioning it, Okay, it's that good all right,
15:16
aman, is it weird that, as an adult man, not a twenty
15:20
one year old anymore, believe it or not, to be piling into an
15:24
uber with more people than are legally allowed. Yeah, that's highly disrespectful.
15:30
But to who, well the going rate of Uber? Because how you know
15:35
me? I'm not a I don't even have the Uber app. I don't.
15:37
I'm not a fun girl who stays out past midnight these days. But
15:41
isn't there something about Excel? There's people who go out much less than you
15:46
who have the Uber app? You could, you could have the app.
15:48
I know I don't have it, but anyway, and I'd feel a lot
15:52
better if you had the app? There was what an Uber? Isn't there
15:56
like an Excel version that you're supposed to do if you have more than like
15:58
three people? Yeah, but the problem with that is it costs more.
16:03
Well duh, yeah, so you like then? Or how does this work?
16:07
And can they shut you down? Or do they? Well? Of
16:10
course they can, but a lot of times they won't, you know,
16:11
because you're there. It's like you all of a sudden, you're piling in,
16:14
Like we on Friday, you know, we were leaving labbies heading back,
16:18
heading back south. So this is post show standing. And so I
16:22
think it was an ubrac south because it was a van. But I think
16:23
we had like ten people in this van. And I just see this is
16:27
where you have to call too. That is so inappropriate. Oh my god,
16:30
I asked if it was weird not a crime, You guys could have
16:34
called mom over here. I would have brought I would have brought the school
16:37
bus over. Oh yeah, guys, what today night were you? You
16:42
were given rides because I saw yet after taco bell, Mom went to bed.
16:51
If you would have pulled that bus up, I think we would have
16:53
walked Amanda in the morning. On Big seven, turns out thirty seven percent
17:00
of Americans think they can do a better job at being president than the current
17:03
candidates. You were gonna say, do my job or your job better?
17:07
They probably feel like the number would be a little larger. Don't you think
17:11
that's in general how people speak. Oh well, you don't even know what
17:15
they're talking about or what It's a lot harder than people think in any job,
17:21
don't you And I'm gonna sound like one of these guys, but don't
17:25
you think you could though? I mean truly like if given the proper training,
17:30
Like do you think they're smarter than you were? Okay, dumb question,
17:33
hang out for are we talking about the president? Yeah? Yeah,
17:37
training goes into being the president. It's not like you're just on your own.
17:41
They don't just throw you in there. It's like, all right,
17:42
go ahead, figure it out, like make some make some laws. Okay,
17:47
eight o'clock, we want that first bill done. Okay. But it's
17:49
just funny how some people think they can do other people's jobs. There's always
17:52
that type of person, and it's the most offensive thing when it's your job.
17:56
The amount of people my niece yesterday, she's like, I'm just I
18:00
just am going to be on the radio, like you were just kind of
18:02
looking at me like it's no big deal. And even again, when you're
18:04
out in public, it's like I could do that, except for I don't
18:07
know about the early mornings. Oh okay, so you couldn't do the three
18:11
thirty alarm clock, but you could do a full on show. It's not
18:14
as easy as you think, sitting here bantering back and forth on days I
18:18
don't know, like the day to day for insances after day when your brain
18:22
is not working long weekends, and yeah, you're trying to pull anything interesting
18:26
or let alone maybe funny even out of your brain and it's just not happening.
18:30
The best is when you and I look at each other like one of
18:33
us has got to come up with something funny to get out of this exactly.
18:37
But you have some people who say, oh, like I've been thinking
18:40
about doing radio, like are you guys have any jobs open, or what
18:42
is your schedule? Could I maybe could I do something during the day,
18:45
Like well, yeah, here's a time machine, go back ten years and
18:51
start wearing a mascot at parades and then you know, show up for ten
18:56
more years and then maybe yeah, we did both kind of start that way.
18:59
I was the booty end of a donkey suit in Colorado, speaking of
19:03
presidency. It was a Democratic National Convention, really, and that's how I
19:06
got my start. A two person costume. I was yep, I was
19:08
wearing a two person donkey costume and I had to get donkeys for this morning
19:14
show because it was ninety two point the jackass is what they had changed it
19:18
into. Well, no, it was the Democratic Convention. I just wait,
19:21
it wasn't mean you can say the A word. I'm not going to
19:23
let that slide. Not on this show. It goes outside. You know
19:26
how many times I have to refrain from saying curse words. But it's for
19:30
the kids and the fact that you just the one with kids. It's summer
19:33
vacations. They're not tuning in. It's not that I'm mad. I'm just
19:37
a little disappointed, like a man in the morning on Big nuety eight point
19:44
seven. It's summertime. You probably want to do a little vacationing, right,
19:47
But maybe you don't have a lake place, maybe you can't afford to
19:51
go to Disney World, or you don't want to be in a car for
19:52
twelve hours with your kids. So here's some ideas. Okay, because somebody
19:56
put out a list of the ways you can take of a case in your
20:00
own hometown without leaving it all. Okay, stay case absolutely, So here's
20:04
some ideas. And what's just Fargo specific, like what you could do with
20:08
these ideas, like, for example, engage in outdoor activities. So let's
20:14
say if we're with a vacation right here in Fargo, let's call it like
20:17
twenty miles from town. Yeah, probably like a nice linden Wood park that's
20:22
always beautiful, like do a picnic there, one's a good one. I
20:26
do prefer Island Park, but there's a lot of construction down there right now,
20:29
so it's not as appealing like Buffalo River State Park. I know people
20:32
who've gone on the trails out there, yep, which you can go for
20:34
a hike, which, to be clear, hiking is just walking. I
20:40
know it sounds fancier, but it's just going for a walk, right,
20:42
I mean for me, hiking is like you gotta be in at an inclimb
20:47
mountain, well mountain there? Good? The luck? Where's Glen? Now?
20:52
You're gonna have to get east of Hawley to get any of that.
20:53
What Glendo's is that all Glendo? I've never heard of that. You're not
20:56
trying to think of Glendon, are you? That would be up there on
21:00
my Lisden things to do for sure? Yeah, Listen, there's a lot
21:03
once you you know, everyone just sees it from Highway ten, but you
21:06
get into the town. There's some stuff going on all right, like a
21:10
school, some neighborhoods. But they also say, if you really want to
21:15
spice it up for your outdoor activity, you can add in some bird watching
21:18
or photography. Oh, Yeah, that'd be kind of fun, would it.
21:22
Yeah, bird watching, watching birds I have. I have a friend
21:26
who does that with her daughter. Every once in a while. They'll go
21:29
out and, you know, do identify birds or just enjoy the nature.
21:34
I'm going to say something here and you're gonna scoff. But I know very
21:37
little about bird watching, but I do know the term used for describing a
21:41
bird sort of vibe. Yeah, I'm not even gonna say. I can't
21:45
even say it's it's it's hilarious, but it's I can't say. You've drawn
21:52
too much attention to it now now I have. Yeah, my mother in
21:55
law gave us a bird watching book. Feel free to google it. By
21:59
the way, been bird watching and asking what's the how you describe the overall
22:03
appearance of a bird? Just go ahead, I'm looking. Yeah, No,
22:07
by all means don't do all you're driving, of course, but go
22:10
ahead, a manda. But yeah, so she gave us that book,
22:14
like all the different birds and everything. Yeah, yeah, did you just
22:18
see it? Says that word and then says birding. Yeah. The definition
22:22
is the overall impression or appearance of a bird, garnered from such features as
22:26
shape, posture, flying, style or other habitual movements. It's four letters
22:34
and it's not jazz. It's not jazzon I'd like to buy a vowel.
22:41
Another idea for a vacation without leaving your own town Fargo, you can plan
22:45
for a foodie adventure. Now how fun a sad sound? Love this and
22:51
I have not done it, and I've told my friends I've wanted to do
22:53
this, especially with downtown Fargo and all these really cool restaurants that they have
22:56
right now, well always, but it feels like you go down to one
23:02
and you don't get to explore them all. But to do like an appetizer
23:04
crawl, like go somewhere and say, hey, what are you known for?
23:07
Get that appetizer, one drink and just kind of bebop around. Also,
23:11
that's amazing. Yeah, Dust from Happy Harry's always talks about doing appetizer
23:15
crawls, like a progressive kind of depending. There's so many different ways to
23:18
do that though. That sounds lovely. Like even West Fargo, we have
23:21
not been to a lot of the new bars that are over there, and
23:25
like the og of West Fargo, not over in the Lights area, but
23:27
down there. Yeah, so like doing something like that over there, just
23:30
kind of picking a spot in an area. Yeah, it's just it's one
23:33
of these things where we talk about it sounds cool, but then you have
23:37
to take the step of like, actually, somebody has to plan it,
23:40
somebody has to invite people. But it would be cool, absolutely, And
23:45
I am really terrible about just doing stuff like that unless somebody is coming to
23:48
visit. I have a couple of aunts coming from Colorado and a couple of
23:52
weeks. I'm like, they're like, oh, we want to actually see
23:53
Fargo. Okay, here we go. This will give me a reason to
23:57
go and explore a little bit more fund it. And that's number two actually
24:00
on this list of ways to enjoy your hometown for vacation. Just become a
24:03
tourist in your own city. Treat it like you're the one visiting. What
24:07
would you go see? You know, you could go to your favorite place.
24:11
I know, the Yumcom Center. I don't know if I have ever
24:17
been there. What was I thinking then? I'm trying to think of it's
24:22
a great I mean, listen, they got this boat in there. No,
24:25
I'm very interesting. I've seen pictures because I don't think I've actually been
24:30
there. We'll take the kids as a ride a passage for kids growing up
24:33
here to be going to the Yumcom Center, you know, if the school,
24:34
then take them you auto, and then you take them over to Island
24:37
Park and there's a statue of a guy and you can read the thing.
24:41
What guy, that's a good question, didn't you. The guy's name Thomas
24:45
Fargo. He founded this great city back in eighteen fifty eight. And finally,
24:52
the best way to enjoy your own hometown for a vacation host a themed
24:57
staycation at home. Oh yes, you can take in your home and home.
25:03
You can, you know, get a bunch of like beach toys out
25:04
and yeah, make some tropical drinks and get the like some steel drum music
25:08
going on. My kids are good about this. In the winter, they
25:12
do like stay They'll take the beach towels out. Sometimes act like Briggsy has
25:18
a bunk bed, so he'll act like that's a pontoon. And then they're
25:22
in their their minds like they're so creative like that. I'm like, okay,
25:26
let's like roll into this, here we go. I'm ready. I
25:29
mean, I don't toss on the swimsuit or anything, because it's the dead
25:33
o Winter, Come on, mom, get into it. They do though.
25:36
I love that weather theme automatically go beach theme, but would be another
25:42
fun one. You could do medieval themed. You could do Renaissance the which
25:48
is similar. Oh, I don't know why I speaking of that. Looking
25:52
for a staycation? This is and I'm being serious. The Renaissance Fair is
25:57
going to be in town this week, in the next week because they actually
26:00
posted yesterday, you have a chance to win tickets. I'm gonna be picking
26:03
winner here soon. Yes, I've never done that. I want to know
26:04
you one of those big, big turkey legs. Yes, that's really all
26:08
I want out of it. I want that. Well, that is going
26:11
to be some staycation family fun. Thank you, Pike. Get Amanda in
26:15
the morning on Big eight point seven and now Amanda stills the sea looks seed.
26:22
Baranti by Valley Service Mechanical and ben Affleck are wyatly selling their sixty million
26:30
dollar home. There's nothing quiet about it, unfortunately, because everybody knows it's
26:34
true. But how does that mean? I mean, that's kind of the
26:38
question. Right now. They're both wearing their rings. He's obviously been living
26:44
in a different place now for a couple of months. They have been spotted
26:47
together a couple of times. I truly think that they're trying to work things
26:51
out. And Ben gave her this ultimatum of hey, I don't want to
26:55
have this lifestyle that you're trying to live. Where do they live again?
26:57
Not Calabass Is it some fans neighborhood? Is it Beverly Hills. I have
27:02
no idea. I'm gonna look at I got my Zillow app. Just type
27:04
in Ben and j Loo's crib and see see what your thoughts are. Then
27:10
is now living in Brentwood, which I think is a way more low key
27:12
neighborhood. I think that was really popular. Sadly, the reason I know
27:17
about that community is because that's where OJ and typed in Beverly Hills. There
27:22
are no properties for sale in Beverly Hills. Wait, I have to update
27:26
my parameters. Oh oh see, I was looking for four bedrooms. Yeah,
27:32
we got chat. Okay, the price, I gotta bump that up.
27:37
Is there even like a sixty five million dollar price range? Or do
27:40
you just put more? Yeah? Look at this, I put any price
27:42
so it's like minimum two mil. But you can get into a nice little
27:45
place for six mail in Beverly Hills. No big deal. You can rent
27:52
town half of it. Really say it'd be great. Well, some people
27:55
thought cancel culture was gonna get Will Smith. Not the case. His new
27:59
Bad Boys Right Die movie was number one of the box office over the weekend.
28:03
They thought maybe bringing in about forty mil. Brought in fifty six million
28:06
bucks. Is this one you'd go see? I won't go see it.
28:10
I'm just gonna be honest. I loved Bad Boys one. Didn't watch the
28:14
second one despite it being very popular when I was like, you know,
28:17
junior high or something. Uh No, I liked the first one. It
28:21
was kind of sad though. There was a scene where one of the I
28:23
think it was Will Smith's wife or girlfriend gets killed and it like gave me
28:27
nightmares. I do not remember this movie to save my life. Okay,
28:30
there're two cops. Yeah, now here's a multi family ten units in Beverly
28:37
Hill. Seven and a half mil. But it's sixteen bad sixteen bath.
28:41
What do you do? I mean you would you know it's it's it's like
28:44
an apartment, So come on seven and a half mil. Well, then
28:47
you could just rent it out? How many how much would it go in
28:49
rate B for a room there? You think I can't imagine for an airbnb?
28:53
Be insane? Can we get some people and not anybody want to go
28:57
in on this right now? Sixty bedroom? This is real estate radio.
29:03
This is like an investment decision. A man and I can how much can
29:07
you phone up right now? I think I still had a twenty from the
29:11
a teen, I had five hundred dollars perfect. You know who might be
29:17
able to take you up on this? As Nick Cannon? I think all
29:18
of his kids could and baby mamas could live under that roof. I see
29:22
now that would be sweet, This would be nice, and you know,
29:25
I may I recommend that to you, Nick Cannon, because this whole situation
29:29
drives me crazy. Reason we're talking about it is he has twelve kids,
29:32
six different baby mamas, and he apparently has insured his family jewels for ten
29:37
million dollars and he's thinking about having more. You're not even a father to
29:42
these kids, because you're not there every single day. It's just money.
29:45
It's just money to you. Why is he ensuring his you know, his
29:49
stuff? What kind of who's writing policies for that? I'm guessing your husband's
29:55
an insurance guy. Could I go through Nodak and insure my I don't think
29:59
so, you know, I don't. And what is he worried about happening
30:02
A lorraina Bobbitt situation. I don't know. I guess if that did happen,
30:06
it would be nice to get a little payout. I mean, was beyond
