Did You Accidentally Break the Law This Summer? · Podcast - Big 98.7

0:02
Speaker 1: And the world of rules in gray areas, One morning
0:04
Speaker 1: show dares to ask the hard questions.
0:06
Speaker 2: Is it illegal for a child to wear that much makeup?
0:09
Speaker 2: Is it legal? I understand, I understand it's funny as
0:12
Speaker 2: all get out.
0:13
Speaker 3: But is it even legal? On Big ninety eight point seven,
0:17
Speaker 3: summer is almost over, which means we still have a
0:20
Speaker 3: little time to settle a very important question, Angie, is
0:24
Speaker 3: it legal to spray someone with a garden house?
0:28
Speaker 4: Oh?
0:30
Speaker 3: Well, apparently you know you can't just walk around the
0:33
Speaker 3: FM area blasting people with fire or with a hose,
0:37
Speaker 3: excuse me, a garden hose like you have a backyard
0:40
Speaker 3: water park.
0:41
Speaker 2: Okay, North Dakota doesn't really have.
0:43
Speaker 3: A specific like garden hose law, neither does Minnesota. But
0:47
Speaker 3: intentionally spraying somebody could potentially cross a line into a
0:52
Speaker 3: fences like assault or disorderly conduct, depending on the situation.
0:56
Speaker 3: So if your neighbor is really annoying you and you're thinking,
0:59
Speaker 3: you know what would solve this, this garden hose, well,
1:03
Speaker 3: you might want to think twice. Apparently I was just
1:06
Speaker 3: trying to cool them off. Is not necessarily a great
1:09
Speaker 3: legal defense. And this I kind of think about this,
1:12
Speaker 3: like if you have maybe some kids who are just
1:14
Speaker 3: riding their bikes around in your yard or something, and
1:16
Speaker 3: you're like, get off my lawn, and you want to
1:18
Speaker 3: spraym with the garden hose to maybe deter them from
1:21
Speaker 3: doing that. Again, well, you can't do it, or you
1:24
Speaker 3: probably shouldn't do it. Enjoy this summer, enjoy your garden hose, responsibly,
1:30
Speaker 3: water the flowers.
1:31
Speaker 2: Water the lawn. Just maybe don't water your neighbor.
1:33
Speaker 5: I guess you just have to think how litigious are
1:37
Speaker 5: these people.
1:38
Speaker 3: How much do they really want to spend to get
1:40
Speaker 3: over this garden hose situation? And it looks like we
1:47
Speaker 3: do have our girl Duaba, which we do know it's
1:51
Speaker 3: not her real.
1:52
Speaker 2: Name, yeah now, but it's just stuck. Yeah for a girl.
1:55
Speaker 2: Daba on the phone, Duaba, what's up?
1:57
Speaker 6: It's good. Congratulations gave on the maybe.
2:00
Speaker 2: Oh, thank you very much.
2:02
Speaker 6: I was I was just going to tell you that's
2:04
Speaker 6: good to know about that law because my husband just
2:08
Speaker 6: we were just talking this morning. We have neighbors that
2:11
Speaker 6: the kids like to run through our yard.
2:13
Speaker 2: Oh yeah yeah, yeah, broke.
2:15
Speaker 6: Grass and he's trying to grow grass, like he just said.
2:17
Speaker 6: This morning, He's like, I'm trying to figure out if
2:19
Speaker 6: I could drew a rig a launch sprinkler to just
2:22
Speaker 6: pop up when they walk through, or like.
2:25
Speaker 5: Well, you know what, I think that gives you plausible deniability.
2:29
Speaker 3: That's exactly the type of situation I was thinking about
2:32
Speaker 3: with spraying someone with the garden holes. I was like, Hey,
2:35
Speaker 3: you just have some kids kind of screwing around in
2:37
Speaker 3: the neighborhood. Maybe it's a fun, friendly way to tell
2:39
Speaker 3: them to get off the grass or whatever.
2:41
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would not do it.
2:43
Speaker 3: Not do it.
2:43
Speaker 6: Okay, I'll come my husband.
2:45
Speaker 3: Not to do about then, unless you know, maybe if
2:47
Speaker 3: they're family, friends, kids or something, you'd.
2:49
Speaker 6: Probably we don't know them, they don't, we don't like them.
2:52
Speaker 3: They oh definitely don't do it.
3:00
Speaker 2: Little victories.
3:02
Speaker 1: Every morning we practiced gratitude on Big ninety eight point seven.
3:05
Speaker 5: If I could, I would keep this feeling in a
3:08
Speaker 5: basket jump busted out when it was someone's acting hard.
3:11
Speaker 1: Sure your little victories with us at seven oh one
3:14
Speaker 1: two eight oh one ninety eight.
3:16
Speaker 2: Seven, kids, I also needed to win that day, all right, Angie.
3:19
Speaker 3: You gave me a little heads up that this was
3:21
Speaker 3: like the smallest little victory ever.
3:23
Speaker 2: A lot of time but you wouldn't tell me what
3:25
Speaker 2: it is, so I need to know.
3:26
Speaker 1: Now.
3:27
Speaker 5: You know the old adage a watched pot never boils.
3:31
Speaker 5: Oh sure, yeah, quite literally. I watched the pot until
3:35
Speaker 5: it boiled.
3:36
Speaker 2: Really, yeah, I don't have the patience.
3:38
Speaker 5: I was surprised that I had the patients, but I
3:41
Speaker 5: was really trying to make some ramen and I the
3:47
Speaker 5: I set the pot on the stove, I turned it
3:50
Speaker 5: up to high, and I just sat there and watched it.
3:53
Speaker 5: I don't know what possessed me. Yeah, but I really
3:56
Speaker 5: did just stand there. And then halfway through watching it
4:00
Speaker 5: ended up being like five minutes five minutes to.
4:03
Speaker 2: Kick the clock.
4:04
Speaker 5: But halfway through I realized, oh my gosh, I'm watching a.
4:08
Speaker 4: Pot boil or try to boil.
4:11
Speaker 5: So then I was committed to the bit in my
4:13
Speaker 5: own home and I watched it until it boiled. And
4:16
Speaker 5: then I looked at Mike and I said I that
4:18
Speaker 5: I watched pot does boil, and he said, that should
4:21
Speaker 5: be your little victory tomorrow.
4:23
Speaker 3: Yeah, it sounds like you did you know the that'll
4:26
Speaker 3: it's kind of that old saying if you're not around
4:29
Speaker 3: to hear it or whatever, and a tree falls in
4:31
Speaker 3: the woods, doesn't make a sound. Yeah, well, it turns
4:33
Speaker 3: out it likely does make a sound. Because Angie watched
4:36
Speaker 3: this pot boils. You dispelled that potential miss exactly.
4:39
Speaker 4: I mean, I don't know how those correlate, but I'm
4:41
Speaker 4: gonna go with it. That's fine.
4:43
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm just saying they're kind of in the same
4:45
Speaker 3: realm or something along those lines. Also, do you know
4:48
Speaker 3: one way you could potentially get that pot to boil
4:51
Speaker 3: a little bit faster when you're making ramen? Yeah, tossing
4:54
Speaker 3: like a little bit of salt. I did do that,
4:56
Speaker 3: did you?
4:56
Speaker 5: Oh?
4:57
Speaker 4: Yeah, see, there you go. I did because I wasn't
4:59
Speaker 4: fully paid.
5:00
Speaker 3: So yeah, watching water boil is like watching grass grow. Yeah,
5:07
Speaker 3: it's kind of the same exact thing.
5:09
Speaker 4: So, you know, my personal life is really fun and exciting.
5:12
Speaker 2: Yeah, you had an awesome Wednesday. It sounds like.
5:16
Speaker 3: My little victory is my daughter Kaylee is starting to
5:20
Speaker 3: get a lot more control over her neck.
5:22
Speaker 4: Oh nice.
5:23
Speaker 3: It's kind of fun watching her do a little tummy
5:26
Speaker 3: time or when you're holding her and she can kind
5:28
Speaker 3: of keep her head like balanced or held up for
5:31
Speaker 3: longer periods of time, which I know everyone you know
5:34
Speaker 3: talks about the first steps or their first words, or
5:37
Speaker 3: the first day of school, or all these massive milestones
5:40
Speaker 3: that babies have. I am waiting for her to be
5:43
Speaker 3: able to control her neck so I can use two
5:46
Speaker 3: hands when it's my turn to feed her, because she
5:48
Speaker 3: gets sit down her head up straight.
5:50
Speaker 4: Now, that is a huge milestone.
5:52
Speaker 3: Actually, yeah, that's the one I'm looking forward to the most.
5:55
Speaker 2: I'll tell you right now. On the way, we've got
5:57
Speaker 2: Olivia Dean.
5:57
Speaker 3: We also have your tea coming up next here, Happy Thursday.
6:01
Speaker 3: We are getting closer and closer to the weekend with
6:03
Speaker 3: Big ninety eight point seven. We are back at it
6:13
Speaker 3: with Beyond Realty and Big nine eight seven dot com
6:16
Speaker 3: is we are a Big nine eight seven excuse me,
6:18
Speaker 3: just the radio station, not the website. But we are
6:22
Speaker 3: back at it where we want to try to help
6:24
Speaker 3: out teachers. I know this time of the year is
6:27
Speaker 3: very exciting, maybe a little nerve wracking for your kiddos
6:30
Speaker 3: getting ready to go back to school. They're excited to
6:33
Speaker 3: see who's in their class. They're excited to see and
6:35
Speaker 3: hang out their teacher and get that learning underway. But
6:39
Speaker 3: teachers are also feeling those exact same emotions. I would
6:42
Speaker 3: guess excited a little bit nervous ready to take on
6:46
Speaker 3: this school year, and we want to try to help
6:48
Speaker 3: out the teachers who are going to be dedicating so
6:51
Speaker 3: much of their time to your kiddos.
6:53
Speaker 5: Yeah, here's the thing, The sad fact of the matter
6:56
Speaker 5: is that teachers don't always get all of the resources
6:59
Speaker 5: they need to make sure that their classroom is fully
7:02
Speaker 5: stocked and ready to educate our future. The future of
7:07
Speaker 5: America is quite literally the students, and so we want
7:09
Speaker 5: teachers to be well stocked with all the supplies they need,
7:12
Speaker 5: and just it doesn't always happen. So we want to
7:16
Speaker 5: help with Beyond Realty clear some of these carts. So, teachers,
7:20
Speaker 5: today is your last day to submit your Amazon classroom
7:25
Speaker 5: shopping list to Big nine eight seven dot com.
7:29
Speaker 4: Submit that wish list.
7:30
Speaker 5: And then we will take over and leave it to
7:34
Speaker 5: you the listener.
7:35
Speaker 4: And of course Gabe and I are going to do.
7:37
Speaker 5: This too, to clear some carts. Okay, So teachers, submit
7:41
Speaker 5: your Amazon classroom shopping list right now, head to Big
7:44
Speaker 5: nine eight seven dot com, click on the big clear
7:47
Speaker 5: the cart colorful graphic thanks to Beyond Realty, and we
7:51
Speaker 5: want to make sure that you get all of the
7:53
Speaker 5: resources all of the supplies you need to make it
7:55
Speaker 5: an excellent school year.
7:56
Speaker 3: Yeah, I kind of attributed to so like Angie and
7:59
Speaker 3: I who work here Big nine eight seven dot com.
8:01
Speaker 3: Imagine if we came into the studio every day and
8:03
Speaker 3: had to like buy the microphone and buy the Yeah Show,
8:06
Speaker 3: or if you work at a bank and you had
8:09
Speaker 3: to I don't know, buy the calculator to do the numbers,
8:12
Speaker 3: or if you work in construction and you had to
8:15
Speaker 3: buy the instruction equipment to help fix I ninety four
8:19
Speaker 3: Ye right, we razy. Yeah, we want to try to
8:21
Speaker 3: help teachers just make some of that a little bit
8:24
Speaker 3: easier going into this next school year.
8:26
Speaker 5: Here's what's beautiful about teachers is that they will come
8:30
Speaker 5: out of pocket if they need to because their focus
8:34
Speaker 5: is teaching the kids making sure the kids have an
8:36
Speaker 5: excellent school year.
8:37
Speaker 4: So if they don't.
8:39
Speaker 5: Have what they need, they will come out of pocket,
8:41
Speaker 5: and it can be really expensive. We did some math.
8:44
Speaker 5: I live with a teacher. My man is a teacher,
8:46
Speaker 5: and we did some math on how much he spent
8:48
Speaker 5: out of pocket his last year of teaching bruh in
8:53
Speaker 5: the thousands.
8:54
Speaker 4: So if there's anything that.
8:56
Speaker 5: We can do to help ease that stress off the teachers. Obviously,
9:00
Speaker 5: that's what we want to do. So thanks to Beyond
9:02
Speaker 5: Realty for partnering with us, and thank you to you
9:05
Speaker 5: who always have hearts for teachers and are happy to
9:09
Speaker 5: clear the carts. So right now, teachers, submit your link.
9:13
Speaker 5: We want to get this done for you. Big nine
9:14
Speaker 5: eight seven dot com.
9:18
Speaker 2: Summer we have reached August.
9:20
Speaker 3: You know, summer's kind of winding down a little bit,
9:22
Speaker 3: which almost feels like I'm swearing here on the radio.
9:26
Speaker 4: Yeah, but its actually.
9:28
Speaker 3: Have you been dealing with any mosquito bites this summer?
9:32
Speaker 3: I will hand up in uh where I live in
9:35
Speaker 3: South Fargo. I feel like the mosquitoes have really been down.
9:38
Speaker 3: I know they had talked a lot about doing research
9:41
Speaker 3: and spraying and and things along those lines headed into
9:44
Speaker 3: this summer, and whatever they did, at least in my opinion,
9:47
Speaker 3: has worked.
9:47
Speaker 4: Where I live same I live where you live.
9:50
Speaker 5: Not in the same home, obviously, but we're in basically
9:53
Speaker 5: the same neighborhood. And I will say last year was
9:57
Speaker 5: a barutal be verry farky mosquito like love me if
10:02
Speaker 5: they find me, I like get bit up everywhere, arms, legs, backs,
10:07
Speaker 5: like everywhere, and this year I did still get bit
10:10
Speaker 5: up a little bit, but not as much as last year.
10:13
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's kind of the same as my wife if
10:15
Speaker 3: she gets bit by a mosquito. I mean, it looks
10:17
Speaker 3: like a welt really really bad. And if you've wondered
10:21
Speaker 3: why mosquitos maybe ignore some people and completely swarm others,
10:26
Speaker 3: there are some people who have done some research and
10:28
Speaker 3: found part of this answer, which I find fascinating. A
10:32
Speaker 3: study was done on one hundred nineteen adults, so a
10:36
Speaker 3: pretty solid sample size, and they used three different mosquito species,
10:41
Speaker 3: all right. They discovered that different mosquitos liked people very differently,
10:47
Speaker 3: so if one person was attractive to one species, it
10:51
Speaker 3: didn't necessarily mean other mosquitos were, I don't know, lining
10:54
Speaker 3: up for lunch.
10:55
Speaker 4: Okay, so even mosquitoes have.
10:58
Speaker 2: A time Yeah, exactly. The study foul.
11:00
Speaker 3: It's our skins, bacteria and the chemicals that we naturally
11:05
Speaker 3: release that make mosquitos like us the most. And these
11:08
Speaker 3: specific bacteria and chemicals they kind of just vary depending
11:12
Speaker 3: on the species. So if you are wondering, like, oh
11:15
Speaker 3: my god, you know, my husband never ever ever deals
11:18
Speaker 3: with mosquitos, and I get just torn up.
11:20
Speaker 2: You're just releasing some good chemicals.
11:22
Speaker 4: I guess I don't know that I like that. That
11:25
Speaker 4: makes me feel like am I dirtier.
11:27
Speaker 2: Than or maybe I'm cleaner.
11:30
Speaker 5: Or maybe I'm cleaner with something about like sweet blood
11:35
Speaker 5: or is that just something that people make up?
11:38
Speaker 3: I think something that people just made up. So sadly, Angie,
11:41
Speaker 3: No you're not. You're not made of sugar and sweet. Yeah.
11:46
Speaker 3: Researchers are really hopeful that this could develop more targeted
11:50
Speaker 3: mosquito repellents in the future, instead of kind of relying
11:53
Speaker 3: on the one size fits all that approach that we use.
11:56
Speaker 2: I mean, what is it in mosquito?
11:58
Speaker 5: Is deep?
11:59
Speaker 3: Yes, that kind of deters mosquitos. Yeah, well it would
12:02
Speaker 3: be kind of cool. Maybe after this research in the
12:04
Speaker 3: next couple handful of years, they can find something more
12:07
Speaker 3: specific per individual. I think this is pretty exciting, especially
12:11
Speaker 3: when we live where we live, you know, Lakes Country
12:14
Speaker 3: over in Minnesota, Mosquitos everywhere in North Dakota in the Midwest,
12:17
Speaker 3: Mosquitos are just way different.
12:19
Speaker 5: You know what, as we're talking about this, I'm feeling
12:22
Speaker 5: like itchy, like I got bit while we were sitting here.
12:26
Speaker 3: Yeah, one thing I also want to ask maybe this
12:29
Speaker 3: is just where I live, but if you live in
12:31
Speaker 3: the FM area, let me know if you've noticed this,
12:34
Speaker 3: if I'm onto something or I'm crazy. Okay, seven h
12:37
Speaker 3: one two eight zero one nine eighty seven. It seemed
12:39
Speaker 3: like this summer, you know, we really kind of narrowed
12:42
Speaker 3: down the mosquitos ye and got them kind of under
12:46
Speaker 3: control to where it's not unbearable to go outside. Okay,
12:49
Speaker 3: I will say I have noticed more grasshoppers this year
12:54
Speaker 3: than I've ever noticed in my entire life anywhere.
12:58
Speaker 4: That's so funny.
12:59
Speaker 5: Yeah, there there have been a lot of grasshoppers, so
13:02
Speaker 5: many What does it happen in cycles or something like cicadas?
13:06
Speaker 4: You know how cicada? Yeah, maybe I need this information.
13:09
Speaker 3: And the only reason out and the reason I know
13:12
Speaker 3: this is, you know, taking my dog and daughter for walks. Yeah,
13:16
Speaker 3: you know there are little sections that where I'll walk
13:18
Speaker 3: in South Fargo where there's you know, nothing, and then
13:22
Speaker 3: there's sections I'm not kidding, hundreds of grasshoppers that as
13:26
Speaker 3: we kind of walk in on the sidewalk.
13:28
Speaker 5: They why the grass as Yeah, well they'll see my
13:33
Speaker 5: dog or the stroller whatever coming along, and they go nuts.
13:37
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then you know, twenty yards down the sidewalk nothing.
13:42
Speaker 4: Yeah, that is weird.
13:44
Speaker 5: I don't know, I need the What's does a bugs
13:47
Speaker 5: life ever explain this?
13:48
Speaker 2: I'm not sure? But am I crazy?
13:50
Speaker 3: Have you noticed maybe less mosquitoes more grasshoppers this year?
13:53
Speaker 3: Or is that just where I live? Seven oh one
13:56
Speaker 3: two eight zero one nine eight seven. I am glad
13:59
Speaker 3: that you have no so I'm not just inside except
14:01
Speaker 3: for I live.
14:02
Speaker 4: Where you live.
14:07
Speaker 2: Like a diamond.
14:09
Speaker 5: I have said a friend, well, actually I'm more friends
14:12
Speaker 5: with the guy. But he got engaged and so he
14:15
Speaker 5: and his fiance had a bit of an engagement party
14:20
Speaker 5: at a bar.
14:21
Speaker 4: But this was in Chicago.
14:23
Speaker 5: So part of when I was gone last week was
14:26
Speaker 5: this road trip to this radio conference, and then on
14:29
Speaker 5: the way back, because it coincided with the engagement party,
14:33
Speaker 5: it was like, okay, we'll go to the engagement party,
14:37
Speaker 5: and so that's what we did. But we were driving
14:40
Speaker 5: from Cleveland to Chicago, which is about five and a
14:44
Speaker 5: half hours. We're literally ten minutes away from arriving to
14:50
Speaker 5: the venue, and I realized.
14:53
Speaker 4: Oh, we don't have a gift for them, And Mikey said,
14:57
Speaker 4: I don't know what you want me to do. There's
14:59
Speaker 4: quite literally know where we can get a gift for them, a.
15:02
Speaker 2: Gift shop in the bar, right.
15:05
Speaker 5: So I okay, So then we walk it, because what
15:08
Speaker 5: were we gonna do?
15:09
Speaker 4: Not go?
15:10
Speaker 5: So we walk in, We greet the couple and they
15:13
Speaker 5: were very you know, happy to see us.
15:15
Speaker 4: Whatever. We sat down, and so then I.
15:17
Speaker 5: Started taking stock of everybody that was in the bar
15:20
Speaker 5: and if they had a gift with them, and so
15:25
Speaker 5: I feel like I saw a lot of gifts, a
15:27
Speaker 5: lot of gifts piled on this one table, and I
15:29
Speaker 5: was feeling so anxious and bad. So then I was like, okay,
15:34
Speaker 5: well how many of these people contributed those gifts?
15:36
Speaker 4: Like I don't know.
15:37
Speaker 5: So then I started watching the door to see as
15:41
Speaker 5: people walked in if.
15:43
Speaker 4: They were bringing a gift with them.
15:45
Speaker 7: And so couple after a couple files in and every
15:49
Speaker 7: single person had either a gift like in a little
15:53
Speaker 7: bag or a card that I assume has a gift
15:57
Speaker 7: in it.
15:58
Speaker 5: And so I have been telling myself they didn't say anything.
16:02
Speaker 4: The couple did not say anything.
16:04
Speaker 2: They probably didn't even know you didn't have a gift.
16:06
Speaker 2: Well I don't.
16:07
Speaker 5: They greeted us when we walked in this US super
16:09
Speaker 5: empty handed. However, I've been telling myself in my head, well,
16:15
Speaker 5: we drove five and a half hours to be here.
16:18
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, does that count something.
16:21
Speaker 2: That's a pretty unique circumstance.
16:23
Speaker 5: We got there and then they are the ones who,
16:26
Speaker 5: you know, they paid for the party and there was
16:28
Speaker 5: like food and drink, So really.
16:31
Speaker 3: I'd be willing to bet they were just glad you
16:33
Speaker 3: were able to make it. It's not you live anywhere
16:35
Speaker 3: near there.
16:36
Speaker 4: Do you think that I should send a gift?
16:39
Speaker 3: Now, I'll just hit a little venmo. They'll take some cash.
16:41
Speaker 3: I'm sure you think that's okay, one hundred person.
16:44
Speaker 5: I just hit a Venmo because I have never been
16:46
Speaker 5: engaged in a situation where it was like a proper engagement.
16:50
Speaker 5: But you have, Yeah, and so you wouldn't be upset, No,
16:54
Speaker 5: if someone showed up to your no party.
16:56
Speaker 2: I couldn't care less.
16:57
Speaker 3: No, you know, I have been to engagement parties and
17:00
Speaker 3: given gifts. I've been to engagement parties where it's just
17:03
Speaker 3: a straight cash homie. Yeah, And I think for the
17:07
Speaker 3: rest of time, I'm gonna just be doing cash for
17:09
Speaker 3: these things, whether they want it on venmo or a
17:12
Speaker 3: check or however they want it. The thing about getting
17:15
Speaker 3: an engagement gift, an actual gift you can hold use.
17:19
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just it's risky.
17:22
Speaker 3: I have seen so many weddings or I know people
17:24
Speaker 3: personally who have had their weddings like called off in
17:27
Speaker 3: the past year and a half. So here, you buy
17:30
Speaker 3: this couple a really nice toaster oven, and then all
17:33
Speaker 3: of a sudden they aren't living together. Who keeps the
17:35
Speaker 3: toaster of in I don't want to put more stress
17:38
Speaker 3: on you know, who gets to keep the kids? And
17:39
Speaker 3: by the kids, I mean the toaster of it. In
17:41
Speaker 3: this situation, you can split twenty bucks, you know, you
17:45
Speaker 3: can't split a toaster of me. Yeah, you're a new
17:47
Speaker 3: microwave or whatever else a cutting board.
17:50
Speaker 5: Well, then the other thing is and I'm not going
17:52
Speaker 5: to assume that Mikey and I are invited to the wedding.
17:56
Speaker 5: We're fairly new friends with this couple, sure, and they
18:01
Speaker 5: live far they live in Chicago, So if we don't
18:04
Speaker 5: get a wedding invitation, that's fine to me. But then
18:07
Speaker 5: I was thinking, well, I still want to get them
18:11
Speaker 5: something for hosting us at their engagement, And I thought,
18:14
Speaker 5: you know, if I could just get the link to
18:16
Speaker 5: their registry.
18:16
Speaker 4: But if we're not invited, we don't get a link
18:18
Speaker 4: to the registry.
18:19
Speaker 2: That's true.
18:20
Speaker 4: Oh I guess I'm gonna hit them with the venmo.
18:22
Speaker 5: What would you do in this situation seven oh one
18:25
Speaker 5: two eight oh one nine eight seven? Or is it like,
18:28
Speaker 5: do I just leave this in the past like it
18:29
Speaker 5: already happened, don't think.
18:30
Speaker 2: About it again?
18:31
Speaker 3: Yeah. I think when you get an engagement couple of gift,
18:34
Speaker 3: an actual tangible gift, it's almost like paying for the
18:38
Speaker 3: free subscription before your free subscription runs out. You're like,
18:41
Speaker 3: oh no, I'll just pay you now. You don't even
18:43
Speaker 3: know if you like that service. You don't know if
18:45
Speaker 3: that service is going to continue on in the next month.
18:47
Speaker 5: Hey, that's a good way to look at it.
18:55
Speaker 3: We had a little bit of a bummer at the
18:57
Speaker 3: glitten House last night as we discovered that this baby
19:00
Speaker 3: walker that we were gifted for baby g who you
19:05
Speaker 3: probably are familiar with hearing that name.
19:07
Speaker 2: Her name is Kaylee.
19:08
Speaker 4: But yeah, it's gonna be quite the transition for me.
19:12
Speaker 3: Right this walker is being recalled because it ended up
19:16
Speaker 3: being a serious safety risk. All Right, these walkers, they
19:20
Speaker 3: can pass through standard doorways, They also might not stop
19:24
Speaker 3: at the edge of stairs, which has created a big risk. Yeah,
19:27
Speaker 3: the walkers can also allow the child to become trapped.
19:31
Speaker 3: So over thirteen hundred of these walkers were sold and
19:35
Speaker 3: parents are being told to stop using them immediately. So
19:38
Speaker 3: thankfully baby G is nowhere near using a walker. Well,
19:43
Speaker 3: that's well, it'll it'll get here sooner than i'd probably like, Yeah,
19:46
Speaker 3: but we don't have to worry about using that, and
19:49
Speaker 3: we can kind of go a different route now. But
19:52
Speaker 3: you never know when you buy something on Amazon what
19:54
Speaker 3: you're gonna get. You know, the pictures always make it
19:57
Speaker 3: look great, and it always looks super functional and maybe
20:00
Speaker 3: of decent material.
20:02
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then you get the thing and it ends
20:03
Speaker 2: up being wonderful.
20:04
Speaker 3: You're like, yes, this is exactly what I paid for,
20:07
Speaker 3: or you get it and you're like, oh my god,
20:08
Speaker 3: I just wasted thirty seven ninety nine.
20:10
Speaker 4: I have a pile. I have a pile of Amazon things.
20:14
Speaker 5: Most of them are clothes, and I try to do
20:17
Speaker 5: my best in terms of like reading the reviews, looking
20:21
Speaker 5: at reviews that have pictures with them of people wearing
20:24
Speaker 5: the things. I do my best, but every once in
20:26
Speaker 5: a while it just doesn't pan out, and there's some
20:30
Speaker 5: real like material that feels like it was made out
20:33
Speaker 5: of sand paper, and it's like, why is this a dress?
20:35
Speaker 4: I don't like this?
20:36
Speaker 3: Yeah, everyone can be subject to getting dupe on Amazon.
20:40
Speaker 3: That's one of the awesome things about when you go
20:42
Speaker 3: to one of your favorite stores here in the FM area,
20:44
Speaker 3: you can see field touch, put on, try on.
20:47
Speaker 5: I will always choose a brick and mortar over online
20:51
Speaker 5: if I am able to.
20:53
Speaker 3: If you can, yeah, seven oh one two eight zero
20:55
Speaker 3: one nine eight seven, is there something you bought on
20:58
Speaker 3: Amazon that didn't turn to be as good as you
21:02
Speaker 3: have hoped? Now I might be one of the only
21:04
Speaker 3: people on earth who did not have an Amazon account
21:08
Speaker 3: until like twenty twenty five.
21:10
Speaker 2: Yeah.
21:10
Speaker 4: I remember when you got it, and I thought, bro,
21:12
Speaker 4: how have you been living?
21:13
Speaker 5: Thankfully you're with your wife Corey, and so I think
21:16
Speaker 5: what you just ordered through her account or I ruined
21:20
Speaker 5: her shopping algorithm? Yeah.
21:22
Speaker 3: I really didn't like buy anything, to be honest, but
21:24
Speaker 3: if I did, yeah, we'd go with the Corey route.
21:27
Speaker 3: So I don't have a ton of things for I
21:29
Speaker 3: don't have really a lot of experience in the buying
21:31
Speaker 3: off of Amazon. So for the most part, I have
21:34
Speaker 3: been pretty lucky, but not everyone has. Maybe, like Tessa Tesla,
21:37
Speaker 3: would you get on Amazon that maybe wasn't as great
21:40
Speaker 3: as you thought.
21:41
Speaker 1: A handheld vacuum that had thousands of five star reviews,
21:45
Speaker 1: yet it couldn't pick up a cheerio.
21:47
Speaker 2: My dog was way more useful. That would be the worst.
21:51
Speaker 3: If you think you were a vacuum when you find
21:53
Speaker 3: a good one, oh.
21:54
Speaker 4: You got to hang on to that, h hang on
21:56
Speaker 4: to the wheels fall off.
21:57
Speaker 3: Yeah, And especially if you were grabbing enough Amazon, maybe
22:00
Speaker 3: you're thinking, oh, maybe I'm getting a good product for
22:03
Speaker 3: maybe not a ton of money. Yeah, And when it
22:05
Speaker 3: turns out to just you know, you can't even pick
22:07
Speaker 3: up the rocks that are on the ground in your vehicle,
22:09
Speaker 3: You're like, Wow, this thing stinks, Jake, what about you man?
22:13
Speaker 4: Probably a mini waffle maker.
22:15
Speaker 3: I was convinced that I would be making cute little
22:18
Speaker 3: waffles every weekend, but I used it exactly twice before
22:22
Speaker 3: it became a permanent resident of the back of my cabinet.
22:25
Speaker 5: Is this not even just when you order one on Amazon?
22:28
Speaker 5: You know what happens is every season that changes where
22:31
Speaker 5: it's like the seasonal. You know whatever, it's Halloween time,
22:35
Speaker 5: it's summertime, there's always a waffle maker. I have a
22:37
Speaker 5: waffle maker. I have a mini waffle maker that like
22:41
Speaker 5: looks like a Christmas star or whatever.
22:44
Speaker 4: Yeah, use that maybe once? And then I fell for
22:47
Speaker 4: the trap again. And I didn't even order this online.
22:49
Speaker 5: I got one that like makes the waffles look like
22:52
Speaker 5: a spider web.
22:54
Speaker 2: Okay, is that baby?
22:55
Speaker 4: Once? Like, it's just not worth it.
22:57
Speaker 3: Who would have thought if we went to Angie's house.
23:00
Speaker 3: Angie has just this collection of seasonal.
23:02
Speaker 1: Way starting off the day with something good. This is
23:13
Speaker 1: Gabe's Good News on Big ninety eight point seven.
23:18
Speaker 3: This is one of those stories that reminds you just
23:20
Speaker 3: how much fun summer can be, especially when you're a kid.
23:24
Speaker 3: The YMCA of the Northern Sky they recently hosted its
23:28
Speaker 3: largest Summer Olympics ever, bringing kids together for a day
23:33
Speaker 3: of games, competition, and plenty of smiles. It gave kids
23:37
Speaker 3: a chance to be outside, be active, cheer each other on,
23:41
Speaker 3: and most importantly, just have fun. And this is from
23:44
Speaker 3: Nicole Rentz, the ym who works with the YMCA of
23:47
Speaker 3: the Northern Sky, talking a little bit about the event.
23:50
Speaker 8: Just a day that they can have fun together. It
23:54
Speaker 8: really just kind of shows everything we've worked towards all summer,
23:58
Speaker 8: bringing them to all of their field trips and everything else,
24:02
Speaker 8: and it's it's just a super fun day for them.
24:05
Speaker 2: And I really love that.
24:05
Speaker 3: You know, it's not necessarily about the wins and the
24:08
Speaker 3: losses in the Summer Olympics. It's just about creating summer
24:11
Speaker 3: memories and things that these kids will have and be
24:14
Speaker 3: able to talk about for their entire lives. So here's
24:16
Speaker 3: to the YMCA giving local kids a day to compete,
24:19
Speaker 3: laugh and make some memories.
24:21
Speaker 5: What of the ultimate touch grass experience?
24:24
Speaker 2: That's exactly right.
24:25
Speaker 3: And if you don't here's my If you don't know it,
24:27
Speaker 3: here's my favorite quote. The world is full of nice people.
24:29
Speaker 3: If you can't find one, be one. And never forget
24:32
Speaker 3: broken crayons. They still color
