Speaker 1: song that we are have playing in the background here,
0:06
Speaker 1: but it's called laugh Now, Cry Later from Drake. And
0:09
Speaker 1: that's exactly what I did yesterday, the two most embarrassing
0:12
Speaker 1: things that have maybe happened to me in a long time.
0:16
Speaker 2: And I don't really get embarrassed.
0:18
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is why, like my job dropped. As Susan
0:20
Speaker 3: said this, because you are not someone who gets embarrassed.
0:23
Speaker 3: I don't think I normally just kind of laughing off
0:25
Speaker 3: and yeah, like you know, who cares? Well, Yeah, it's
0:27
Speaker 3: way once you get married.
0:29
Speaker 1: It's just tough to get embarrassed about anything, I think,
0:31
Speaker 1: because it's like I always got one.
0:33
Speaker 2: Yeah, so who cares?
0:34
Speaker 1: Right?
0:35
Speaker 2: I had a busy day yesterday.
0:37
Speaker 1: I had to go to Gate City Bank in the afternoon,
0:39
Speaker 1: so I had a kind of a small window to
0:41
Speaker 1: get the dog out for a walk, make sure she
0:43
Speaker 1: peed because she had to go back being by herself
0:45
Speaker 1: for a few hours.
0:45
Speaker 4: Yeah.
0:46
Speaker 1: So I'm walking around the trail that I always walk
0:49
Speaker 1: around by our house. Okay, now, why can't I remember
0:52
Speaker 1: what it's called. It's right along the Red River there,
0:54
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. It's in South Fargo, and I always
0:59
Speaker 1: most time listen to a show from Angie and I
1:03
Speaker 1: from like days ago. Yeah, not because it's like, oh,
1:08
Speaker 1: I really want to hear me, but it's like a
1:10
Speaker 1: it's like a critique things.
1:12
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, for sure.
1:12
Speaker 1: It's hard to get better or keep doing what you're
1:15
Speaker 1: doing on this if you don't hear.
1:17
Speaker 4: It, right. No, agree, Yeah I'm kidding.
1:23
Speaker 1: Every time I hear me say something funny, I'm like
1:24
Speaker 1: crushed it. But it's hard to get better at this
1:27
Speaker 1: if you don't hear No, yeah, you have to, that's
1:29
Speaker 1: part of the job. So you're listening back to one
1:32
Speaker 1: of our shows. Yes, I get there. No headphones, right,
1:35
Speaker 1: I forgot them at home. I'm like, crap, I don't

Speaker 1: want to walk around with my phone in my pocket
1:41
Speaker 1: full volume like to me and Angie.
1:44
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's very embarrassing.
1:45

Speaker 1: in it, and I'm like, you know, I can probably.
1:49
Speaker 1: It's this is like a twenty minute walk. I can

1:53
Speaker 1: got the the show playing in my pocket like pretty
1:57
Speaker 1: full volume, right, I'm thinking I got the trail to myself. Yeah,

Speaker 3: That's all right, we know what we're doing on Big
5:29

5:33
Speaker 3: get worked up whenever she's on screen. She knows and
5:36
Speaker 3: let me tell you this, girl don't care.
5:39
Speaker 2: As we all know.
5:40
Speaker 5: You know, you guys have a lot of male sports
5:42
Speaker 5: fans that listen to your podcast, and I think we
5:47
Speaker 5: all know that if there's one thing that male sports
5:49
Speaker 5: fans want to see in their space isn't on their screens,
5:53
Speaker 5: it's more of me.
5:55
Speaker 4: I love that.
5:56
Speaker 3: And at the end of the day, she's not the
5:59
Speaker 3: one telling them to put cameras on her.
6:02
Speaker 1: Okay, I've never under I have never understood that if
6:05
Speaker 1: you are a football fan and you watch a three
6:09
Speaker 1: hour or three hour and thirty minute, you know, football broadcast,
6:13
Speaker 1: that's about.
6:13
Speaker 2: How long they are.
6:14
Speaker 1: Yeah, and Taylor's on your screen for fifteen seconds in total.
6:20
Speaker 2: I have never understood that. And I love football.
6:23
Speaker 1: I watched NFL football like religiously right, and I don't
6:27
Speaker 1: get it. It's not like she's sitting there with a
6:28
Speaker 1: big giant sign that says NBC, I'm over here, come
6:32
Speaker 1: find me. It's like she is quite literally trying to
6:35
Speaker 1: sit in whatever you know, billionaire box she's in and
6:39
Speaker 1: enjoy the game with her friends or Travis's family or whoever. Yeah,
6:43
Speaker 1: I have never understood the backlash to her. If you
6:47
Speaker 1: hate it, tell Fox right in tel NBCs.
6:51
Speaker 2: She doesn't tell them to do that.
6:53
Speaker 3: I've never been in the vein of mean girls. It's
6:57
Speaker 3: not her fault. She can't help it if she's the
6:58
Speaker 3: most famous woman in the world.
7:00
Speaker 2: Right exactly.
7:07
Speaker 3: This is bittersweet. But my son Aiden, we went to
7:13
Speaker 3: freshman orientation yesterday. He's a high schooler now, and.
7:19
Speaker 4: It is feeling so real. It just happens in the
7:24
Speaker 4: blink of an eye.
7:25
Speaker 3: Parents, know, it feels like just yesterday your kids are
7:28
Speaker 3: toddling around in diapers, and before.
7:30
Speaker 2: You know they're learning a bike.
7:32
Speaker 1: Yeah, they can barely operate in a real world way,
7:37
Speaker 1: and now they're off to high school.
7:39
Speaker 3: Right before you know it, they're opening their locker in
7:42
Speaker 3: the hallway and then taking their ninth grade school picture.
7:47
Speaker 3: I felt really emotional over it yesterday, and I did
7:50
Speaker 3: not expect to.
7:52
Speaker 4: But I just my son, Oh am I getting emotional now.
7:56
Speaker 3: I just he was just a baby like a second ago,
7:59
Speaker 3: and now he's he's gonna be fifteen in October, and he's.
8:03
Speaker 4: Taller than me.
8:04
Speaker 2: I know, he's way yeah. I mean, that's not saying
8:07
Speaker 2: much it is.
8:08
Speaker 4: And he's got a mustache which he gets for me.
8:11
Speaker 4: But like it's just it's just crazy. He's just like
8:17
Speaker 4: my high schooler now.
8:18
Speaker 3: But it was really cool to go to freshman orientation
8:22
Speaker 3: and see what's what and he looks he looked like
8:26
Speaker 3: he was like nervous for the year ahead. I will
8:29
Speaker 3: say this, they are super cracking down because of you know,
8:33
Speaker 3: state legislation. They're super cracking down on cell phones. You
8:37
Speaker 3: cannot have your cell phone out at school. And so
8:41
Speaker 3: for anyone listening your kids, especially the upper classmen, the
8:45
Speaker 3: assistant principal was saying that these upperclassmen are going to
8:48
Speaker 3: be so mad because they're used to having their cell phone.
8:51
Speaker 4: So that was like the big thing that they focused on.
8:53
Speaker 3: But other than that, it looks like it's gonna be
8:55
Speaker 3: a nice, cool school year.
8:57
Speaker 2: Yes, that's awesome. Man.
8:58
Speaker 1: High school is so fun because, you know, unless you're
9:01
Speaker 1: very lucky and you get to, you know, experience your
9:04
Speaker 1: life with people at a young age and you just
9:06
Speaker 1: happen to stick around for all those years.
9:08
Speaker 2: High schools where you really kind of meet a lot
9:09
Speaker 2: of your.
9:10
Speaker 1: Like lifetime buddies one hundred, a lot of people I
9:13
Speaker 1: still talk to at thirty four, thirty five, well almost
9:16
Speaker 1: thirty five years old. You know, I met when I
9:19
Speaker 1: was a freshman in high school.
9:20
Speaker 3: This year would be my twenty year high school reunion.
9:23
Speaker 3: Don't do the math on that, but I am still
9:26
Speaker 3: besties with my two best friends from high school. So
9:30
Speaker 3: I'm excited for Aiden, and I think he will be
9:33
Speaker 3: excited once he's actually in it.
9:36
Speaker 2: But you know, after the initial shock, where's he's a
9:39
Speaker 2: kid is?
9:39
Speaker 3: And it was just so cool to see, like, who
9:42
Speaker 3: used to be my little baby and now he's just
9:45
Speaker 3: walking the hallways with his deep voice right.
9:48
Speaker 1: Right, my little Victory's sort of kind of in the
9:51
Speaker 1: same realm. Obviously I don't have kids or whatever, but
9:53
Speaker 1: it was kind of an eye opening moment for me.
9:55
Speaker 2: Yesterday. Right, we had a busy day yesterday.
9:57
Speaker 1: When the show was over, there was the hired event
9:59
Speaker 1: at Oh Yeah, and ran over to do and I
10:03
Speaker 1: was going, you know, am I have I been here
10:06
Speaker 1: that long to where I've done this before? And then
10:10
Speaker 1: I was at gate City Bank as they had their
10:12
Speaker 1: they have a promotion going on if you open up
10:14
Speaker 1: a new checking account, which I have also done before,
10:18
Speaker 1: and so I'm sitting here going, wait, I've been here
10:20
Speaker 1: long enough to where we're on like the second round
10:23
Speaker 1: of things, and so I kind of paused and was like, wait,
10:27
Speaker 1: it's August. I think I've been here like ten eleven months.
10:30
Speaker 1: We're getting to the point now where all of these
10:32
Speaker 1: little things aren't necessarily brand new to me anymore. Oh
10:36
Speaker 1: that it's like, yeah, they come in, It's like, oh,
10:40
Speaker 1: I know Austin.
10:41
Speaker 2: I talked to him the last time I was in.
10:43
Speaker 4: Yeah.
10:43
Speaker 2: Oh I know Kelsey I talked to her at the
10:45
Speaker 2: last time we did.
10:46
Speaker 4: This, and so so cool. I'm so jealous.
10:49
Speaker 1: Yeah, when I walk in, it's instead of like, you know,
10:51
Speaker 1: it's not like I get nervous going to talk to anybody,
10:53
Speaker 1: but it's like, Okay, I don't know this person.
10:55
Speaker 2: Let's see how this goes. Now it's oh my god.
10:57
Speaker 1: We have a tiny little bit of a like a report, yeah, camaraderie,
11:00
Speaker 1: a little bit for whatever work we have to do
11:03
Speaker 1: out there. So it's kind of an eye opening moment like,
11:05
Speaker 1: oh my god, I've been here almost a year.
11:08
Speaker 4: I love this. I got to have an anniversary party
11:11
Speaker 4: for you.
11:12
Speaker 2: Well would that be cool?
11:13
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll see, And there was an individual yesterday. I
11:19
Speaker 1: think this unwritten rule should just be what it is
11:21
Speaker 1: going forward. All right, when I was buying something from
11:25
Speaker 1: the gas station, and this could apply to grocery store too. Yeah,
11:29
Speaker 1: I just went in for this one item, right, just
11:31
Speaker 1: a quick in boom. I had one thing?
11:33
Speaker 4: Was it an energy drink?
11:36
Speaker 1: Well, you know, guys got to get a celsius here
11:38
Speaker 1: or there, right, But I just like that, I know you, well,
11:42
Speaker 1: this person in front of me, So there was a
11:44
Speaker 1: person at the register, a person in front of me,
11:46
Speaker 1: and then me. Yeah, the person in front of me,
11:49
Speaker 1: they had kind of a conglomerate of things all right,
11:52
Speaker 1: as in, you know, they were trying to hang on
11:54
Speaker 1: to these seven things at once. Okay, and the person
11:57
Speaker 1: in front of them is done, and they were like, hey,
11:59
Speaker 1: you just have the one thing, like go ahead.
12:02
Speaker 2: They all that.
12:03
Speaker 1: Yes, they knew it would be a quick kind of
12:05
Speaker 1: in and out type of situation. Yeah, And then I
12:07
Speaker 1: tried to repay the favor and be like, well you
12:09
Speaker 1: can put the stuff on the counter real quick.
12:11
Speaker 2: You don't have to sit here and hold it.
12:12
Speaker 1: But going forward, if you're at the grocery store and
12:15
Speaker 1: you have a cart of like two hundred items and
12:18
Speaker 1: someone behind you went in for socks and gatorade.
12:21
Speaker 2: Just let them go ahead of you.
12:22
Speaker 3: Yeah, I always do. I always be buying too much.
12:26
Speaker 3: And then the person behind me has like one thing,
12:29
Speaker 3: and I just am like, oh no, you go right,
12:31
Speaker 3: and because yeah, because it's a.
12:33
Speaker 2: Real line moves fast for everything is just smoother.
12:36
Speaker 3: I've been in the situation where I had the one
12:39
Speaker 3: thing and then all lanes were full, though, and the
12:42
Speaker 3: person in front of me had a super full cart.
12:45
Speaker 3: I saw that they looked at me, we made eye contact,
12:49
Speaker 3: and then they just turned around and went about scanning
12:52
Speaker 3: their one hundred and fifty two items.
12:54
Speaker 4: It was so rude.
12:56
Speaker 2: They made the decision to not at you.
12:59
Speaker 4: I know you have only one, but I don't care.
13:02
Speaker 4: And then yeah, so I think you are correct.
13:05
Speaker 3: That's an unwritten rule that deserves to be follow us.
13:09
Speaker 2: And we're talking in extreme cases.
13:11
Speaker 1: It's if you have seven things in the person behind
13:13
Speaker 1: you has five, all right, you don't even let them
13:15
Speaker 1: go ahead of you. We're talking if you have a
13:17
Speaker 1: conglomerate versus you know the one Yeah, all right? Seven
13:20
Speaker 1: one two eight zero one nine eight seven. What are
13:23
Speaker 1: some unwritten rules everyone should follow? We asked this on Facebook,
13:28
Speaker 1: and there are some great comments from Amy put on
13:31
Speaker 1: a new roll of toilet paper over not under in
13:34
Speaker 1: parentheses when you finish the last one. That is so true,
13:38
Speaker 1: especially if you're at someone else's house.
13:42
Speaker 3: Well, you know what, as a parent, we deal with
13:44
Speaker 3: this a lot, like the kids are not replacing the rule.
13:47
Speaker 3: All yeah, that's funny in terms of over under. By
13:52
Speaker 3: the way, I know that there is debate on which
13:55
Speaker 3: way the toilet paper roll goes the original patent for
14:00
Speaker 3: toilet paper over, so that's correct.
14:03
Speaker 2: Just to squash that, we have alexa alexa unwritten rule.
14:08
Speaker 2: If you borrow something, return it in better condition than.
14:11
Speaker 1: You've got it.
14:12
Speaker 3: Bonus points if it's cleaner, fuller, or has a thank.
14:15
Speaker 4: You noteed Jack.
14:16
Speaker 1: I like that if you're borrowing some tupperware, I mean grantite.
14:19
Speaker 1: Here in the Midwest, we just don't return tupperware. We're
14:21
Speaker 1: on a forever rotation of of TopWare. But yeah, clean it,
14:25
Speaker 1: wash it, don't turn this grungey, nasty spaghetti stained tupperware.
14:29
Speaker 3: Well, to be fair, you can't get rid of the
14:31
Speaker 3: spaghetti scene.
14:32
Speaker 4: I think that's fair forever.
14:34
Speaker 2: But I agree Jody has the golden rule here.
14:37
Speaker 1: If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say
14:39
Speaker 1: it at all. I think that's very fair, unless it's
14:42
Speaker 1: amongst your buddies and you're just trying to make people laugh. Right,
14:45
Speaker 1: that's the caveat we have calling on the phone, calling
14:50
Speaker 1: unless it's.
14:50
Speaker 4: An absolute emergency.
14:52
Speaker 3: Number two's are not to be done in someone else's home.
14:56
Speaker 3: That's just common courtesy. Wait until you get into your
14:59
Speaker 3: own house.
15:00
Speaker 1: I actually couldn't agree with that less really, no, bro,
15:03
Speaker 1: if you gotta go, you gotta go.
15:04
Speaker 2: That's what a bathroom's for.
15:06
Speaker 3: Well, you know what, if you ever have that situation
15:08
Speaker 3: at my house, Gabe, please feel free because I got
15:12
Speaker 3: a good day for my birthday and I want the
15:14
Speaker 3: world to experience it.
15:21
Speaker 1: This is sorry, not sorry. We say the thing you're thinking,
15:24
Speaker 1: but are too polite to say. We're gonna die on
15:26
Speaker 1: the hill of controversial opinion, so you don't have to,
15:30
Speaker 1: All right, Angie, what you gotta get off your chest today?
15:32
Speaker 1: What's your beef?
15:32
Speaker 3: Pedestrians stop crossing diagonally on the street. You are not
15:39
Speaker 3: saving anyone anytime. You're walking longer to get to the
15:43
Speaker 3: other side of the street. The person in the car
15:45
Speaker 3: waiting for you to cross has to wait longer, and
15:48
Speaker 3: you're over there feeling like you're doing them some service.
15:51
Speaker 3: You're not in a parking lot. I get that. Maybe
15:55
Speaker 3: your car is parked in an aisle not directly across
15:58
Speaker 3: from the store's exits. Cross straight forward and then turn
16:02
Speaker 3: to your left or right and then walk the right
16:05
Speaker 3: angle method.
16:06
Speaker 4: I call it.
16:07
Speaker 3: On regular streets, the crosswalk is clearly marked. Stick to it.
16:12
Speaker 3: Don't be the worst. There's no reason to cross diagonally.
16:16
Speaker 3: And guess what when you're the one that's in the
16:18
Speaker 3: car and a pedestrian does that to you, I know
16:21
Speaker 3: you hate it.
16:22
Speaker 4: So don't do that when you're the one walking.
16:26
Speaker 2: I don't know why.
16:26
Speaker 1: There's just something about you telling me this where I
16:29
Speaker 1: instantly want to just diagonal everything.
16:32
Speaker 4: Now I will.
16:33
Speaker 3: Barrel into you with my car.
