  Speaker 1: the day on Saturday with the kiddos and the Bison
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Tailgate kid Zone.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: It was so fun to be a part of. And
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: it's just kind of weird, you know.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: You talk about something that is just massive in the
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: FM area for weeks and weeks leading up to it,
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: promoting it and being excited about it, and then it happens,
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: and then you kind of blink and it's sort of
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: over and then back to work on Monday.
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: There's like a little bit of a meling call.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a little bit of a sadness to that.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: But you know what we're gonna do. We're gonna start
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: off the show the same way we do every day,
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: and that's by putting our best foot forward, being appreciative,
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: being grateful, being thankful for something.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: So if you have a little victory here today, let
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: us know about it.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: At seven oh one through eight zero one eight seven.
• 0:49
  Speaker 4: Celebrating life's little victories.
• 0:51
  Speaker 5: Victory every morning we practice gratitude on Big ninety eight
• 0:55
  Speaker 5: point seven.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: If I could, I would keep this feeling in a
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: basket job bust when it was someone's acting hard.
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: I just really needed to win.
• 1:03
  Speaker 5: You know, sure your little victories with us at seven
• 1:06
  Speaker 5: oh one two seven.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: And Angie, do you have a little victory for us?
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: Then?
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: I do. And I think sometimes I come off as
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: a j Lo hater, but I'm not. Yesterday, Mikey and
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: I watched the new rom com that Jlo stars in
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: with Brett Goldstein. It's called Office Romance. It's on Netflix,
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: and let me tell you, j Lo is so back, baby. Okay.
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: I don't think, Yes, I don't think that she should
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: ever try to make a hit song ever. Again, I
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: don't think she should try to sing ballads. But what
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: I do think she should do is make rom coms
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: until she dies. She's the queen of a rom com.
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: I love that she's back on our screens in a
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: rom com capacity, and it's like Ronchie enough that it's
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: not your typical rom com, but it still has like
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: all the fun tropes of a Ramka. It's so good.
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: It's so good, and she has chemistry with the guy,
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: and I just love it so hard. Nothing brings me
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: more joy than having a date night in with Mikey
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: and we watch a rom com and it was an
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: excellent choice. It's on Netflix. Highly recommend And if you're
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: one of those people who's like, oh, rom comes, okay,
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: then this is not for you.
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: This is not for you.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: I know you do.
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: So I think you should watch this with Corey. It's
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: so fun. And I think that I was seeing like
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: criticism online like me Jlo and the Ramka, and it's
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: like listen, rom Comes the same way that like Scary
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: Movie six is like getting critics all like, eh, you
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: don't watch a rom come for its like intense, dramatic whatever.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: You watch it to have a good time.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you're watching it to have fun.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: Yes, And so if you're looking to have fun with
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: a rom com and then you get to see j
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: Lo look so fine and everything she wears, this is
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: the round Cup for you.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: All right, I know what I'm doing tonight. Yeah.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: I have two little victories here today. The first one
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: is very short and it just happened like seven minutes ago.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: But Angie and I are here in the studio and
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: we have a TV in here that has the news
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: big shout out to Valley News Live, and there was
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: a photo of myself and a coworker of ours. His
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: name is Farley, or you might know him as Jabe
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: of Farley As we got to be part of the
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: rib judging. Now that it's over, I can say I
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: got to be a part of it. Yeah, and it
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: was cool. There's a picture of us with coach Paula
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Sek and Zach from Happy Harry's from Happy Harry's Excuse
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: me yeah, participating and a guy who won our listener
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: contest to be a judge.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: There's just a photo of us on the TV that
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: was kind of cool.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: That was kind of a cool little moment about seven
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: minutes ago. But my real little victory it was on
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Saturday at the NDSU Buysen Tailgate Kid Zone.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: A big giant shout out to Julia.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: She is always always participating on our Facebook page and
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: chiming in for comments, and we love it. It's always
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: wonderful to see, especially for am I the problem. I
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: think she's kind of gotten alarm for that, which is
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: great because we know we can count on her to
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: give her input.
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: And she good input.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, she al says what she really thinks, which I
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: think is awesome. She's not afraid to have maybe a
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: controversial opinion or not, but either way, it was so nice.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: On Saturday, Corey and I went to go grab some
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: food and we got like this loaded baked potato thing
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: and we're walking back to the radio FM booth and
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: this lady with a I don't know what you want
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: to call it, but a stroller with two kids in
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: it and her husband, I would assume, I assume it's
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: her husband, but boyfriend whatever. She said, hey, are you Gabe,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: and you know, she kind of yelled it, and I
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: was like.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, what's up?
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: And instantly I kind of recognized who it was just
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: from seeing her on Facebook.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I was like, oh, I think.
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: I know you.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: And she was like, hey, here, I have some gifts
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: for you, and she gave a little baby gift to
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: me and Corey, and she gave Angie a little gift
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: as well.
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: It was just super nice and it was very sweet,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: and there was a Onesie in the gift that I
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: received for obviously baby g coming up. She also had
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: mentioned being a lactation consultant.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: I think, oh nice if.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Corey needed any help, you know, for breastfeeding at any point.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: So it was just a very wholesome, sweet moment at
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: the Happy Harry's Rip vest.
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: That really was.
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: I let you got back to the tent and you
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: handed me the gift to have my name on It
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: had the coolest little lip bum in mine that I've
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: ever seen, and a really cool hair clip. I did
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: mention that as my little victory because I'm a horrible person.
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: But the other thing is that I'm jealous because I
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: didn't get to meet her in person. I was at
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: the Radio Fam media tent and so I missed my opportunity.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: But I'm so appreciative, Julia. That was so kind and
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: thank you so much.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we appreciate you thinking of us. So that was
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: very sweet.
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: Not stay for a wide wedding.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: There's this woman who got a surprise of a lifetime
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: during a date night at a drive in movie theater.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: And this makes me so jealous that I did not
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: think to do this. This in my opinion, and see,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: as a dude, I think this could go multiple ways.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: As a guy, I'm thinking, Wow, this is really great,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: this is super cool. Angie might hear this and go eh,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: so we'll see what you think. An there was this
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: man who brought his girlfriend to a drive in movie theater.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: Her name is Faith, and she thought she was there
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: to see a Star Wars movie.
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: Nice, oh, Mandalorian and grogu okay right, But.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: Her boyfriend Nathan had secretly arranged a proposal. A pre
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: recorded video played on the big screen, with Nathan sharing
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: a heartfelt message before he got down on one knee.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: Faith said yes.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: As fellow moviegoers they cheered, applaud it, hawked their horns,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: and it was a wonderful celebrat.
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: Love this. This seems so cool. It shows you know,
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: there's little thought put into it, a little planning put
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: into it.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: Yes, and it's just cool. Imagine you have no clue
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: that you're gonna get proposed to that day.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: I'd like to think most ladies probably have an idea
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: that it might be on the way.
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: I just think it's a date night. Yeah, and then
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: your name's on the big screen for a proposal. This
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: was so cool. I'm so jealous. I didn't think of this.
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: I how did you propose? Again? I think I love
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: a grand gesture proposal. I think that's great.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: I think it just has to be very specific to
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: the person that you're with, because, like if you have
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: like an introverted partner who is not into big, huge
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: public displays.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: That's not gonna work it.
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: That's not the move.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: Seven oh one two eight zero one nine eight seven.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: What is like the most romantic way you could propose?
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: Now?
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: I will say I went into proposing to my wife
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: Corey with a solid idea. Yeah, but zero out of
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: ten on execution of that idea because I've got impatient.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: I couldn't wait.
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: Okay, But that in itself is so sweet, like you
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: just couldn't help yourself. You just really wanted to let
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: her know that you want to marry her. Yep, that's adorable.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: I love that we were in Florida. We are going
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: to the beach.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: My whole plan, you know, get a nice little beach
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: sunset deal, very very you know, standard dude way of thinking.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but that was on Saturday.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: We got there Friday, okay, and we had I'm not
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: even kidding you this to this day is probably my
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: top five most fun days of all time, just me
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: and her at that point running around having just a
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: grand old time in Orlando, Florida. And we got to
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: the end of the day and I was like, let's
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: just get this done with your boy. I proposed no
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: shoes on, no shirt, and it just happened to be.
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: No shoes, no shirt, but a ring.
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: That's right.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: And it just happened to be in the airbnb we
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: were staying at the time, and you know, I did
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: good on the knee and I said all the right things. Yeah,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: you know, someone had some some watery eyes by the
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: time I was done saying my spiel.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: But it really in the grand scheme of romance.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: We were in an airbnb and someone's like someone else's bedroom.
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: But that's a romantic for your situation. I love that
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: when my ex proposed to me, it was very catered
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: to what I like. I live for karaoke, yeah, and
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: we had like a karaoke spot we'd always go to.
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: He was not a singer, but he would just like,
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: let me go do my thing right. And then one night,
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: me and my friend Brandy, we finished singing Wanna Be
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: by Spice Girls, and then she like goes off the stage.
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: I'm about to go off the stage, but I see
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: him walking up to the stage and he grabs the
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: microphone from my friend Brandy, and I'm like, what are
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: you doing? And he like does some spiel by the way,
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: he was hammered. I was kind of hammered. But he
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: gets down on one knee. He has the microphone, he
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: like will been and the entire time, because there's a
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: video of this, I'm so annoying again because I was
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: drunk and I'm like.
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: What are you doing? What are you doing?
• 10:09
  Speaker 5: What do you do?
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: I just say that the entire time is so annoying,
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: and I clearly realized what he was doing. Alcohol is
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: the devil. But I said yes, and we got engaged. Whatever.
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: Now fast forward, we are not together anymore, but Mikey
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: and I are together, and he does know that he
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: wants to propose to me. I know that he wants
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: to propose to me, but I don't know how he's
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: going to do it or when. Well he recently a
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: secret yes you will. But he has an idea in
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: his head of what he wants to do to propose,
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: but it's different than his original idea. And he told me,
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: he's like, oh, I changed my mind. How I'm going
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: to propose. It's something new now. And I was like, well,
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: can you tell me what the old way was? And
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: he was going to propose to be at karaoke. I
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: thank god you didn't. Thank god you didn't.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: Ray. How did you propose to your wife?
• 11:01
  Speaker 6: I proposed my wife on vacation in Italy. We were
• 11:04
  Speaker 6: riding in a gondola and it just felt like the
• 11:07
  Speaker 6: perfect moment. And I'm really glad I waited because I
• 11:10
  Speaker 6: was actually thinking about asking before we even left further trip.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: What I'm saying that is, that's like the proposal you
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: see in like a photo in a calendar.
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he did opposite of you, the best opposite.
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: This is am I the problem. It's me on the
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: problem at me.
• 11:31
  Speaker 5: We'll hear one side of the story, and with your help,
• 11:34
  Speaker 5: am I the problem with you decide if it's right
• 11:36
  Speaker 5: or if maybe you're the problem.
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: I'm hardly the problem. On Big ninety eight point seven.
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: Would you pull up Brantley or let this go? What's up? Guys?
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: This is Brantley. My girlfriend and I were at Target
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: the other day standing in the ten items or less
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: line and this old lady gets to the line and
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: just cuts everyone. And the line is already so long.
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: I could tell everyone noticed, but no one said anything.
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: So I said something and the lady looked at me crazy.
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: So I repeated myself that there's a line, so she
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: needs to head to the back. She deep sighed and
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: moved to the back. I heard a couple behind me
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: say I was rude, and my girlfriend also said I
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: should have let it go. But I bet if I
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: cut the line, everyone would have said something to me.
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: Just because she's old, she gets to do whatever she wants.
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: So am I the problem or what? Gabe? I'd like
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: to get your take on this first.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: Uh So, here is one of those classic scenarios. If
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: I was in line and this happened to me, I'd
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: have probably just shut up and not said a word,
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: but I would have stood up cheering for the person
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: who did so.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: I do not think what you did was rude.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: I don't have the cojones to do this, but I'm
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: glad someone did. Okay, the world needs followers too, the
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: world needs ditch figgers too. And when it comes time
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: to have a little confrontation in line at the at
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: target or the gas station, I'm just gonna probably shut up.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: But I love when someone says something, So call me
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: a WUS basically, but I am glad he said something.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: Because there's a social rule. We all gotta follow and
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: we go out and buy something, pick something up, and
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: as you just wait your turn in line.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: It is what it is. If this happened at the DMV,
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: everybody would freak out.
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: What do you think? Seven oh one two aoh one
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: nine eight seven. We also have this up on the
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: big ninety eight point seven Facebook page. I think he
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: should have let it go. Brantley, Yes, it is a problem.
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: Just because she's old, she gets to do whatever she
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: wants kinda kinda Yeah, listen, I get that it's annoying,
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: but and I get that the line was long, but bruh,
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: Like that's the hill you want to die on? Is
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: like this old lady can't cut. You know how much
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: adversity that woman has probably had to face using my
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: own life. That's right. By virtue of being old, times
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: were harder back in the day. How by virtue of
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: being a woman, things are harder. Like let this woman
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: cut in line. It's not a big deal, especially because
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: no one else said anything. You said that everyone noticed,
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: but they didn't say anything, so clearly everybody else was
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: fine with it. The only person who had an issue
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: was you. And I feel like you should take some
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: time to reflect and think why that really bothered you
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: so much.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: If you're listening this morning and you remember this happening
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: to you at Target the other day, I want to
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: know if you were jacked that Brantley said something or not,
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: because I would have been thrilled. Seven oh one two
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: eight zero one nine eight seven. What do you think
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: here this morning? This is kind of at the and
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: the grand scheme of things. Is this that big of
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: a deal. No, but I love that you said something, Brandley.
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: I don't.
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: The problem.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: I've noticed over the years old people are oblivious. Old
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: people are oblivious, and makes sense that they just budged.
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: It's happened to me. I'm with you, Gabe.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't have said anything because I hate confrontation, but
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: I totally would be mentally giving this guy a standing ovation.
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: That is from Nick this morning? Am I the problem?
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: So Brantley was in line at Target. There was a
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: whole line. An old lady comes up to the line,
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: just cuts everybody. No one says anything except Brantlee. He
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: stood up for social justice and told this woman to
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: get to the back of the line, and she did.
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: But his girlfriend and some people in the line were whispering.
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: I was so rude. So Brantley wants to know is
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: he the problem? Was he rude or should this old
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: lady have followed societal conventions?
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: And we're starting to find out here today there's a
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: lot of people in the FM area who our bunch
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: of chickens, just like Nick and I. We had Liz
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: who also chimed in, and she basically said the same thing.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: She said, so glad he said something like you, Gabe,
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't have said anything, but I would have given
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: the guy a wink or a head nod in approval
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: for saying something.
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: Well, Brianna flat out said I probably would have said
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: something too, so she doesn't think that Brandley's the problem.
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: And she's also not a chicken like you gives.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: I know, I'm a big woos.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: We had Yolando who said, not that it's okay, but
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: for an elderly person, I probably would have let it go.
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: Okay. That's where my head is that obviously I know
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: that you shouldn't be cutting in a line, but for
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: an elderly person, I'm not going to die the hit
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: on the hill of socially policing the elderly.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you're you're now you know girl or guy who
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: snapped at elderly person in the target line for life.
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: Especially by the way, my Mikey my boyfriend, and is
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: an elderly person. And if he accidentally cuts someone in
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: the line, I would want them to cut him some slack,
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: if I had to guess, I don't think the old
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: lady was like doing anything malicious.
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so he moved to the back shot she did. Yeah.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: And then we did have van who said I don't
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: care about her age. I waited in line, so should
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: so should she? And then they also added in and
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: by the way, I was not the victim. Now, this
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: reminds me of a story of my mother. This is
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: why I wish I had the cojones of my mother.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: My sister used to play in this softball league and
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: they would have two of these massive tournaments every year.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: It was on this giant, giant, giant field where there
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: was like four softball fields a ga jillion acres of
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: space in the middle. And what teams would do is
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: between games they'd go warm up and like practice in
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: the middle of the field because there was tons of room. Yeah,
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: and my sister was in a game and there was
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: a coach who had his team practicing kind of right
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: in line with where all these parents were sitting, kind
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: of in left field, okay, And all the parents kind
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: of whispered and complained and hated it, and my mother
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: did would not have it at all. She stood up
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: after about two minutes of this and made a big
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: giant scene yelling no, no, no, no, no, no, no, go
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: get out there with all the other teams in YadA YadA, YadA,
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: And eventually the guy did kind of concede. He was
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: a real jerk about it, but he did concede and
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: move out to the field, and a bunch of other
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: parents thanked my mother for saying something, because we're all
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: just a bunch of chickens and afraid of confrontation like that.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: So I have first hand experience of my mother kind
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: of standing up to someone who's just socially unaware and
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: or doesn't care. And I wish I received some of
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: that gumption, because.
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: I did not.
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: I was gonna say, so, your mom is the one
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: who will stand up one and you didn't get that.
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: So you get your chicken hood from your.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: Firm one hundred percent. I also have one more I
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: was in Dinky if you don't know what that is.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: That's the University of Minnesota visiting a bunch of buddies
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: who went to school there where we were, you know,
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: twenty one, twenty two years old, just bar hopping, and
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: I went into the bathroom, the dude's bathroom, and had
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: had this big giant line at one of the bars there,
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: and there was this guy who walked in budged in
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: front of everybody. And it's a little different when you're
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: in a room full of bunch of dudes that have
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: been drinking all day. You know. Everyone kind of said
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: something and he said, Hey, I was in the military.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: I'm going ahead of all of you, right, oh, And
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: so the rest of us kind of shut up. We
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: don't want to be the dude who snapped that military guy. Yeah,
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: but little did he know my good buddy Chris had
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: just got out of the military and pulled the old
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: absolutely not dude get in the bathroom line.
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: So once again, that's a second occasion where I just
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: sat there and went, Okay, at the very least.
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: Do you surround yourself with people who will stand up
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: and do the right thing.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: A lot of kiddos in the FM area beginning summer vacation.
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: And what is the best part about summer vacation other
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: than you maybe get to sleep in, you know, you
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: get to go stay up a little later. There's a
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: lot of cool things about summer vacation. But what's that
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: old saying, what can go wrong will inevitably.
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: Go wrong Murphy's law.
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, have you ever had.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: A summer summer trip, a summer vacation, a summer plan
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: that it really just ended up not working out how
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: you had hoped for? Now, we do hope you have
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: a wonderful summer filled with joy and laughter and the
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: least amount of adversity is possible, but it's good to
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: go through some adversity once in a while.
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: My gosh, you know what, there was a year, a
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: couple of years back where I had made this like
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: big summer plan to go to Universal Studios with the kiddos,
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: and it was a big family trip.
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: And then.
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: Unexpectedly but expectedly, the timing just didn't work out right
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: where my ex and I decided to get a divorce,
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: but the trip was already planned, so we had to
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: do this family trip to Universal split as ex'es, and
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: we hadn't told the kids yet Yeah, so we just
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: kind of had Yeah. Yeah, the kids had a good time,
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: and that's what's important. But I that really just didn't
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: turn out the way I thought it was going to.
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: Seven one two zero one nine eight seven.
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: Did you ever have a summer trip or plan or
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: something that really didn't turn out how you wanted it to.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: This is up on Facebook and brought well, I just
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: ruined that. I was gonna maybe not say Brian's name,
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: but I already commented it. Yeah, Brian said, My mother
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: in law came with, oh.
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: No, yeah, that'll ruin some things for sure.
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: I'm assuming that relationship is great. This happened to me
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: just last summer. I mean last summer, Corey and I
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: my wife, we were doing a just kind of a
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: Fourth of July trip with some of her family to
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: Lake Itasca in Minnesota. And the first day it was great,
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: and then the second day, you know how it's fun
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: to be outside and enjoying the outdoors until it's like
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: too hot.
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: It was heat index hot.
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: Now we still got to have a fun day, you know,
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: kind of playing in this lake. But after that it poured,
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: and I mean poured poured, like you can't drive your
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: car poor. Oh it was terrible, and we saw this
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: rain on the way. And then my grandfather in law,
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: I guess is what you call him. He had like
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: this hydraulic camper that was on the back of his truck. Yeah,
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: and something happened where these hydraulics malfunctioned and this thing
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: tipped over and essentially was ruined. Yeah, it completely broke.
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: So this happens right before this downpour. I'm talking heavy droplets,
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: can't even really drive out of the park type.
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: Rain, and this thing is tipped on.
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, and we're all standing around thinking, well,
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: what do we do? And then a bunch of people
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: in this campground walk on over going well what do
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: you do? And we had no answer, and then it
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: poured everywhere.
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: It was terrible.
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: I think what they ended up doing was they left
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: it there and we all just kind of left.
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: Sadly.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: We had to cut the camping trip short. And then, uh,
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: of course it was perfect the next couple of days.
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: But they got the camper out as one of his
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: brothers or brother in law's had a big trailer and
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: they went and it was terrible and then everyone feels
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: bad for you. But of course then now everyone is
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: like looking at you because this thing collapse and makes
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: a big giant noise.
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and it was, oh my god.
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: Looking back on that, it's like wow, like we were
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: that camp site for a day.
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Wow, that had.
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: The big giant aciversity least that's right.
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: Justin said vehicle got locked in a town with no
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: tow truck or anything. It was a new vehicle, and
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: when the tow truck came after two hour way to
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: the dealership, it started to work at the dealership. A
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: major delay in our deluthe trip two years ago. Car
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: trouble on a road trip. It is literally the worst
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: thing that can go wrong.
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: The worst, you know what. When I was just my
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: niece graduated, so we went out. Her grad trip was
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: to Zion. Yeah, and it was fourteen of us and
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: so my brother had booked a Verbo and we get
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: to the Verbo ants everywhere the back door left completely
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: wide open and dead roach is scattered throughout, and in
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: the laundry room it smelled like there was a gas leak.
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: So we were like great cats sing here. N Yeah,
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: thankfully we got to cancel that. Booked an airbnb that
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: was literally like a walk across a driveway and that
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: worked out. But gosh, when you get to you're on
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: a old trip, not in your town. You get to
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: the vacation rental and it's infested with bugs. One a
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: night mare.
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, seven oh one two eight zero one nine eight seven.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: Have you ever had a summer trip, a summer vacation
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: where there was really a big, giant bump of the
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: road and you faced some adversity? Hopefully that doesn't happen
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: to you this summer.
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: Some good.
• 25:22
  Speaker 5: Starting off the day with something good. This is Gabe's
• 25:26
  Speaker 5: Good News on Big ninety eight point seven.
• 25:30
