  Speaker 1: is there a story that is kind of hard to believe,
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: but it is true and it's a reason why you

  Speaker 1: missed work or school. There was one time when I
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: was young. I was sixteen years old, and I had
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: a problem with my scapula.

  Speaker 1: Yeah, and there was something about mine that was crooked.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Now I was a decent and I'm doing the one
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: thing everyone has this friend right. Oh, back in high school,
• 0:34

  Speaker 1: I was a pretty good baseball player in high school.
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: Okay, now you're trying to be humble.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And so I don't remember exactly what it was,
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: but it was either the muscles in that part of
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: my body were like growing too fast for my bone,
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: or my bone was growing too fast and my muscles
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: weren't catching up. One of the two I don't exactly remember,
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: and it kind of forced my shoulder blade to get crooked.
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: Oh ow that sounds painful.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was horrible trying to throw a baseball right,
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: and so my mom took me out of school. She
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: was like, hey, someone at work like knows this doctor.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: We're just gonna go check out your shoulder and suit's up. Well,

• 1:24
  Speaker 1: hundred million dollars. I actually don't even I'd have to
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: double check. I don't think he charged us for the
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: visit either.
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: Oh well, he didn't need the money.
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: So when you went back to school, did you tell everybody?

  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, I've seen those movies like a thousand times.

• 4:33
  Speaker 1: book kind of half and a half.
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: So I started listening to a book that I had
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: put in my audible library because I thought, oh, if
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: Gabe can start a book.
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: So can I.
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: So now I'm listening to how to Giggle by page

  Speaker 2: I like that for you.
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: Cool. Yeah, So thank you for inspiring my little victory, Gabe.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: I appreciate Hey, right on, I'm glad I could be
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: of assistance. My little victory actually is kind of a
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: big victory, the Minnesota Wild one. When I woke up
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: this morning because I couldn't watch the game. When I
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: woke up this morning, there is nothing better than when
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: you fall asleep during a game and you're kind of
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: not anxious because it's not like I'm playing, but I
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: want them to win.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: You know, I'm a big Wild fan.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: I'm a big hockey guy and there's nothing better than
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: when I woke up this morning kind of tired because
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: I was up a little bit late checking the scores,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: and when you just see a dominating WI year. So
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: that really when right when I woke up, I was
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: in a great mood. I was like, all right, I
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: can exist today with some cheer good.
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: I love this for you.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: So not necessarily a little victory, but a big victory
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: for the wild that I woke up in a better
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: mood than if they would have lost a seven oh
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: one two eight zero one, nine eighty seven. If you

• 7:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, if you haven't timed like perfectly, yeah.

• 7:38
  Speaker 4: your kitchen, get the microwave ready, and call out of work.
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: You're welcome.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: You thought heating up those leftovers might be your free
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: out of going to work. Today Today's variety Big ninety
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: eight point sevens Game and Angie. Mostly sunny today and
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: a high of fifty six. Not as warm as yesterday,
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: but still a pretty nice day for us. And I
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: discovered yesterday I might get something off my bucket list covered.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: For this summer or whatever.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: Angie and I were talking and I was kind of
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: planning out some stuff we wanted to maybe do this summer,
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: and I'd mentioned like, oh, I finally probably get to
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: go to Montana. And then I was thinking, like, oh
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: my god, that's kind of a bucket list item for me.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: Why is it a bucket list item. I have no idea.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: I've just always wanted to go.
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: There, And so now you, I mean, you're super close
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: the drive for years, not far.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: Not far, And it has nothing to do with like
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: yellow Stone or anything like that, the show. I just
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: ever since I was in college. I was like, you know,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: I gotta get to Montana and I've never made it there.
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: Oh my gosh.
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: You know what, because you've just had this feeling about it,
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: I feel like something major is going to happen for
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: you in Montana.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: I think that'd be sick. Yeah, or maybe I'll go there.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: It'll be a complete letdown and I'll hate it, But
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: I still can say I've been.
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: I have my bucket LISTA I would have to travel
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: way farther. It's that island in the Bahamas, Pig Island.
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: Sure you can just go swimming with all the pigs.
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: Oh my gosh. The very first time I ever saw
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: this was years ago on a like a YouTube video.
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: I need to get to that island, Gabe.
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: I feel like that I'd be one with my kind
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: swimming with pigs.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: Seven oh one two eight zero one nine eight seven.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: Is there something on your bucket list you think you
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: might be able to get done this summer or you
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: just want to share something on your bucket list?
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: You know what?
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: Also, something I really want to learn to do at
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: some point in my life is play the piano.
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: Oh, I know how to play like the Super Mario
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: theme on the piano.
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: I'll show you.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's pretty cool. All right, Heather, what's
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: something on your bucket list? I want to crash a
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: super fancy party that I definitely wasn't invited to, you know,
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: the Tucks champagne, the whole thing, just to see if
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: I could pull it off. That actually sounds incredible genius.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: That sounds so much fun. All you gotta do is
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: dress up and you're good to go. Yeah, dress up,
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: walk in like you are supposed to be there. Yeah,
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: somebody important. Maybe even just carry like a fake briefcase,
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: like basically everything I do when we do stuff for
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: the eight point seven and I'm just trying to get
• 10:06

• 10:30
  Speaker 1: a different part of the country, different part of the state, wherever,

• 10:37
  Speaker 1: settled in, You're like, Okay, I'm starting to feel back
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: like an original person, not someone who goes to work

• 10:45
  Speaker 1: to do one thousand things to get my life back
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: on the tracks exactly so.
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: But now I've hit the point of.
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: Now what yeah, I or born?
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I need to know, like what do I need

  Speaker 3: I need help?

• 11:09
  Speaker 3: What patios should I be going?
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, and we uh we got called from Sarah.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: I think Sarah has some great advice here. This is
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: pretty cool. I wouldn't want to just walk around with
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: no maps, just getting lost on purpose, because that's the
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: way you find those weird hitting gems that nobody tells
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: you about it.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: That's fantastic advice.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: You get downtown on University or something, you just start
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: walking up and down or or on First or whatever.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: You just walk up and down the street. You'll eventually
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: run into something that.
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: Say, Gabe, I can't do that. I have no sense
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: of direction.
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: I would get lost and you'll never see me again.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: It's righty big ninety eight point seven. It's Gabe and
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: a G fifty six, and we do get some sun today.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: We should have an excellent day, just like yesterday. Some
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: good and I have some Gabes good news of the
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: day for you. This story is incredible as well. We've
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: been on a decent run of good news Gabe's good
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: news stories and this involves twins. One of them is
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: named Sandy, and she met her biological sister, Renee, for
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: the first time after being separated for decades. Sandy, who
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: was given up for adoption as an infant, now lives
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: in Virginia and was unaware she even had a sister
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: until very recently, while Renee has spent years searching for
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: her sibling, even hiring a private investigator. When the sisters
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: met in person in Illinois, so in the Midwest here,
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: it was the first time they'd ever laid eyes on
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: one another.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: Sandy Yeah.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: Sandy has uploaded her DNA to several genetic testing websites
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: and had almost given up hope. Then a few weeks
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: ago she was considering deleting her DNA profile just totally.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: She received a message from her first cousin that led
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: to the discovery of her sister. Following several phone calls,
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: they confirmed their connection and made plans to meet, but
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: they chose not to meet through a video call. They
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: wanted their first encounter to be in person. Oh this
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: is sweet, very beautiful. Despite still not knowing why she
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: was given up for adoption, Sandy is overjoyed to have
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: found Renee. The sisters made a plan to get the
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: entire family together, including both biological parents. As Renee says,
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: she had dreamed of this day and is happy to
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: begin a new journey with her sister.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: That's gotta be.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: Obviously tough, but also one of the most exciting, rewarding
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: moments of your life.
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: Yes, I have a sister.
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: We're not twins, but we're very close in age, and
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: she's my best friend and I'm obsessed with her and
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: we love each other so much. And how exciting if
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: you're going through life and then all of a sudden like,
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: oh my gosh, wait, I have a sister, a twin
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: that's like a built in bestie.
• 13:48
