- 0:00Speaker 1: Today's variety, Big ninety eight point seven. All right, gonna
- 0:02Speaker 1: be partly Sunday today.
- 0:03Speaker 2: I'm about thirty five, and it hit daylight saving on Sunday.
- 0:07Speaker 1: It finally hit this morning for me.
- 0:10Speaker 2: I hit today the news probably five or six times,
- 0:13Speaker 2: like I could not, really could not get out of bed.
- 0:17Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think it was a.
- 0:18Speaker 2: Combination of being outside pretty much all day on Sunday
- 0:23Speaker 2: enjoying the beautiful weather. Then yesterday, same kind of thing
- 0:27Speaker 2: but also wind blown, and then just like staying up
- 0:31Speaker 2: because it's so light outside. I was my kid last night. Sure,
- 0:34Speaker 2: my family's a bed. I'm like, it still kind of
- 0:36Speaker 2: light outside. It can't possibly be nine o'clock right, which
- 0:41Speaker 2: is way past my bedtime.
- 0:42Speaker 3: It was very strange yesterday sitting on the collech Cory
- 0:45Speaker 3: and I got done eating and we look at our phone.
- 0:47Speaker 3: It's like seven thirty, and we normally eat at like
- 0:51Speaker 3: four thirty. I don't know what we were doing. We
- 0:53Speaker 3: were just flacking or we weren't hungry, but we were
- 0:56Speaker 3: done eating.
- 0:57Speaker 1: It was like bedtime. It was the weirdest thing. Yeah,
- 0:59Speaker 1: that's so nice.
- 1:00Speaker 3: That was when the first like time change kind of
- 1:02Speaker 3: hit me. Looking at my phone. I was like, first off,
- 1:05Speaker 3: it's too light for it to be seven whatever o'clock
- 1:08Speaker 3: right now, So it was kind of strange.
- 1:09Speaker 1: Yeh, Yesterday late was when I realized whoa Yesterday was
- 1:13Speaker 1: one of those days.
- 1:14Speaker 2: I was like, how is it even going to be
- 1:16Speaker 2: possible to be almost sixty five and then thirty five today?
- 1:20Speaker 2: Like how is that going to happen? So yesterday I
- 1:23Speaker 2: was able to go out enjoy. I had done a
- 1:25Speaker 2: little stuff around the house, just like picking up. We
- 1:27Speaker 2: had sleds out behind our yard, like just little kind
- 1:29Speaker 2: of things. Sure, took the dog for a walk beautiful,
- 1:32Speaker 2: got the kids and as soon as we went to
- 1:35Speaker 2: the park outside of the front of our house, away
- 1:38Speaker 2: it faced. Both kids went in put t shirts and
- 1:40Speaker 2: shorts on. They were just jacked. It is beautiful outside.
- 1:44Speaker 2: We turned the corner to get to the park.
- 1:46Speaker 1: Now we're on the.
- 1:47Speaker 2: West side, and that wind hit and you know, my son,
- 1:51Speaker 2: he is like the guy who's rocking tank tops and
- 1:53Speaker 2: shorts no matter what he goes.
- 1:56Speaker 1: He ditched his bike and goes, mom, I gotta go home.
- 1:59Speaker 4: But freeze.
- 2:01Speaker 3: That temp must have fell thirty degrees. Oh, and it
- 2:04Speaker 3: felt like in the blink of an eye too.
- 2:06Speaker 2: Oh, such a bummer, but still a beautiful day for
- 2:09Speaker 2: this time of year.
- 2:10Speaker 1: I'll take it.
- 2:11Speaker 3: Yeah, I would as well. On the way here at
- 2:13Speaker 3: six twenty one, a man is going to have some
- 2:14Speaker 3: tea for us. What's on the way here today, Amna?
- 2:17Speaker 2: Well, I think a lot of people were really trying
- 2:19Speaker 2: to uh. I guess it depends on where you fall
- 2:21Speaker 2: with the Menendez brothers. I think a lot of people
- 2:23Speaker 2: are going to be surprised by this decision, and I
- 2:25Speaker 2: don't think there's any backing down from this DA. I
- 2:28Speaker 2: was actually surprised by his response. The fate of the
- 2:31Speaker 2: Menendez brothers, ownt duntum.
- 2:37Speaker 1: You ready ready? Let's see it is piping hot today
- 2:41Speaker 1: and now Amanda stills the tea.
- 2:44Speaker 2: Let's see, the LADA will not support receentencing the Menendez
- 2:49Speaker 2: brothers unless they finally come clean about what really happened.
- 2:53Speaker 2: Now this DA announced that he is asking the court
- 2:55Speaker 2: to withdraw recenncing motion and argued that the brothers self defense,
- 3:00Speaker 2: it's all lies and they have not met the standards
- 3:03Speaker 2: for rehabilitation, stating our position is that they shouldn't get
- 3:06Speaker 2: out of jail. He goes on to say that they
- 3:10Speaker 2: had premeditated murder, there was false testimonies. They continue to
- 3:14Speaker 2: refuse to fully accept responsibility, and now the menendaz family.
- 3:18Speaker 2: They're pushing back. They're saying, no, you should not dismiss
- 3:21Speaker 2: this from all the abuse that they endured. Meanwhile, the
- 3:24Speaker 2: brothers continue to pursue other legal avenues to be released
- 3:27Speaker 2: from jail. They had a hearing set for March twentieth
- 3:30Speaker 2: and twenty first. I just really do not see this
- 3:33Speaker 2: going anywhere unless they get really, really lucky.
- 3:35Speaker 3: Yeah, I think they'll be in jail for a long time.
- 3:38Speaker 3: But I don't know if I like that claim either.
- 3:40Speaker 3: How can this guy say they're just straight up lying.
- 3:43Speaker 3: You aren't there, you don't know?
- 3:44Speaker 1: What do you mean? Come clean?
- 3:45Speaker 3: I think coming clean because maybe they need to accept
- 3:49Speaker 3: more responsibility. Sure, but right away, I mean, come clean, bro,
- 3:53Speaker 3: you don't know what happened.
- 3:54Speaker 2: And I'm wondering if it's because what we forget. And
- 3:58Speaker 2: my husband is the one who totally takes me to
- 4:01Speaker 2: like a different place, back to reality, because I'm like,
- 4:03Speaker 2: oh my gosh, if this happened, not that his parents
- 4:07Speaker 2: deserve to die and all these things, but this is abuse,
- 4:10Speaker 2: and oh my gosh, I feel bad for him, and
- 4:12Speaker 2: my husband goes.
- 4:14Speaker 1: They literally walked in, shot their.
- 4:16Speaker 2: Parents, walked back out, reloaded, came back in, and made
- 4:20Speaker 2: sure the job was done. Like it's just a can
- 4:23Speaker 2: you even imagine? And then a lot of people think
- 4:26Speaker 2: it was because of the money. Remember how they acted afterwards. Yeah,
- 4:29Speaker 2: they were out spending all this money, acting like that
- 4:31Speaker 2: nothing would even happened. Yeah, so those are those moments
- 4:35Speaker 2: where you go, oh gosh.
- 4:37Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think they're getting out anytime soon. Yeah,
- 4:40Speaker 3: well maybe ever so.
- 4:43Speaker 2: And Vana White, she recently shocked everybody because she only
- 4:47Speaker 2: works thirty four.
- 4:49Speaker 1: Days out of the year.
- 4:50Speaker 2: What a gig, What a gig, she did say, even
- 4:54Speaker 2: though she's been the host of the show since nineteen
- 4:56Speaker 2: eighty two. Yes, it's thirty four days out of the year,
- 4:59Speaker 2: but they do film six shows a day, So right
- 5:01Speaker 2: away I'm thinking, oh my gosh, that is six dresses
- 5:04Speaker 2: that she gets to whip on and off every single day.
- 5:07Speaker 1: Those would be long days, to be fair. Oh yeah, definitely,
- 5:11Speaker 1: I'm sure it's twelve not just missing that.
- 5:14Speaker 2: But it makes more sense as to how Ryan Seacrest
- 5:17Speaker 2: can fit into this life because he already has so
- 5:19Speaker 2: much going on, right, the scheduling of it all because
- 5:22Speaker 2: you've got American idol, Wheel of Fortune and then all
- 5:25Speaker 2: the other things he's doing.
- 5:27Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know, kudos.
- 5:29Speaker 3: Sure, good for her. I think she deserved it. But
- 5:31Speaker 3: I think she recently got a big pay increase too. Yeah,
- 5:34Speaker 3: so good for her. I think that's awesome. What a
- 5:36Speaker 3: gig if you can get it?
- 5:38Speaker 1: No kidding, I mean, can you imagine?
- 5:41Speaker 2: I mean all of the times that she just I mean,
- 5:44Speaker 2: she is not saying she doesn't add to the show.
- 5:46Speaker 2: I've seen her try to host it was it was
- 5:49Speaker 2: not right, yes, but it's also what we're not used to. Yeah,
- 5:52Speaker 2: so it could have grew on us, right, I don't know. Hey,
- 5:56Speaker 2: when you grow up, kids do what you want to be?
- 5:58Speaker 2: Is the Wheel of Fortune pusher?
- 6:00Speaker 1: Good luck?
- 6:01Speaker 2: Vanna's never retiring for this money and Harry Potter. Actress
- 6:06Speaker 2: Jesse Cave is heading to only fans now that she's
- 6:09Speaker 2: an adult. She who played Lavender Brown in the series,
- 6:12Speaker 2: and she wants to boost her income all of us,
- 6:15Speaker 2: some of us want maybe a little side hustle, whatever
- 6:17Speaker 2: it may be. But right away, I know you're a
- 6:19Speaker 2: big Harry Potter fan, does this make you uncomfortable at first,
- 6:22Speaker 2: like first thought of Lavender.
- 6:23Speaker 1: Brown being on OnlyFans. No, no, no, not at all.
- 6:26Speaker 1: She's an adult. Whatever, she can do it, she wants
- 6:28Speaker 1: you well, she's not doing it like most people do.
- 6:31Speaker 2: Okay, a dirty girl, she's gonna be clean.
- 6:34Speaker 1: Listen to what she had to say.
- 6:36Speaker 4: I'm starting only fans hair stuff, So stuff like this,
- 6:40Speaker 4: the best twenty hair sounds.
- 6:43Speaker 1: He's rushing her hair.
- 6:45Speaker 3: Yeah, it's kind of hard in the audio clip to
- 6:47Speaker 3: get the hair brushing to be loud enough.
- 6:50Speaker 1: Fun.
- 6:50Speaker 2: That was aggressive hair brushing. Girlfriend, can yeah you wit
- 6:54Speaker 2: one more time? Yeah, we'll give it to you one
- 6:56Speaker 2: more time.
- 6:58Speaker 4: Only fans hairstaff So stuff like this, the best puny hair.
- 7:03Speaker 1: Sounds, scraping wood or something.
- 7:09Speaker 2: Gabe, I know you come to me for all girl things,
- 7:11Speaker 2: so I'm going to you for all guy things. You
- 7:14Speaker 2: guys into girls brushing their hair.
- 7:16Speaker 1: I didn't know that was a thing. I found that
- 7:17Speaker 1: out this morning.
- 7:19Speaker 2: That doesn't like get you, that didn't get your hook
- 7:23Speaker 2: line and sink out.
- 7:24Speaker 3: No, I am not here to shame or make fun
- 7:27Speaker 3: of anyone but that. I don't even know what that is.
- 7:31Speaker 3: I have no clue. Maybe you're just into it, you.
- 7:34Speaker 1: Know, I'm just wondering.
- 7:35Speaker 2: I mean, even like long luscious locks, brushing your hair
- 7:40Speaker 2: like for me, it would be kind of a gross
- 7:42Speaker 2: thing because then at some point the hair is going
- 7:45Speaker 2: to fall out a little. That's just what human nature
- 7:47Speaker 2: is with long hair. And then what do they do?
- 7:49Speaker 2: Oh gosh, I bet then they want you to wrap
- 7:52Speaker 2: it up into like a little voodoo thing and then
- 7:54Speaker 2: send it to them.
- 7:56Speaker 1: Oh God, people are weird. I don't know. Do you
- 7:59Speaker 1: think you're reading into that a little too? I don't
- 8:01Speaker 1: think so.
- 8:02Speaker 2: I think people are spending money on a lot of
- 8:03Speaker 2: weird things, and I need to maybe dig into it
- 8:06Speaker 2: a little.
- 8:10Speaker 1: Today's Variety Big ninety eight point seven.
- 8:12Speaker 2: A little different than yesterday. Gonna be hive about thirty five.
- 8:15Speaker 2: We are going to get a little sunshine this afternoon.
- 8:17Speaker 3: I want to start this off by letting you know
- 8:19Speaker 3: that the guy is okay all as well. But here's
- 8:22Speaker 3: a little PSA for any parent out there who maybe
- 8:26Speaker 3: you do it, but your kids might do this if
- 8:27Speaker 3: your kids are picking their nose, wait till you hear
- 8:30Speaker 3: about this, gentlemen.
- 8:31Speaker 2: That is one of my biggest pet peeves, just one
- 8:34Speaker 2: of the grossest things. But get your finger out of
- 8:36Speaker 2: your nose if I catch my kids doing it.
- 8:39Speaker 3: Okay, all right, Well this man was aggressively I'm talking
- 8:46Speaker 3: grown adult man aggressively picked his nose so hard he
- 8:52Speaker 3: hid an artery and had to be rushed what he
- 8:57Speaker 3: had to be rushed to the hospital. This dude, you
- 9:00Speaker 3: know the bendy knuckle on your fingers.
- 9:02Speaker 1: Stop.
- 9:02Speaker 2: I know we're all on this journey. We don't need
- 9:06Speaker 2: any further details. Where I'm going to hurl.
- 9:08Speaker 1: All right, hit an artery?
- 9:10Speaker 3: Yes, now, if you're picking your nose, minor nose bleeds
- 9:13Speaker 3: are fairly common, but you really have to be up
- 9:16Speaker 3: in there to hit an artery. You have to be
- 9:19Speaker 3: trying to tickle your brain, touch your eyeball something, all right. Essentially,
- 9:25Speaker 3: this dude was rushed to the hospital. Thankfully he is okay.
- 9:30Speaker 3: They repaired the artery at the hospital. But here is
- 9:32Speaker 3: the worst part. Here's how you haven't hit the worst
- 9:35Speaker 3: part yet. Well, here's how the This isn't the worst part,
- 9:37Speaker 3: it's just a caveat. Here's how the world found out
- 9:40Speaker 3: about this story. His wife put this on the internet
- 9:45Speaker 3: and boom roasted the guys.
- 9:47Speaker 1: I love it now known as the serial nosepicker.
- 9:51Speaker 2: I don't know if I could do that, just knowing,
- 9:54Speaker 2: I think as this would be my husband, Like I
- 9:59Speaker 2: chose this man and he's a grown adult who picks
- 10:01Speaker 2: his nose, Like, what does that say about me?
- 10:05Speaker 3: What does that sound like some decision making issues in
- 10:08Speaker 3: your life?
- 10:09Speaker 1: Oh gosh, you okay, pretty gross. I will tell you.
- 10:14Speaker 1: My kids have done the fingies in the nose.
- 10:16Speaker 2: Of course, oh every kid does, but they have yet
- 10:19Speaker 2: to put anything up there. I feel like, hang on,
- 10:21Speaker 2: where's the nearest wood, I've got a knock on it?
- 10:24Speaker 2: Because they have yet to, especially with my son, you
- 10:26Speaker 2: would imagine there'd be something in the ears of the
- 10:29Speaker 2: nose or something getting creative. We have yet to have
- 10:31Speaker 2: that kind of experience.
- 10:34Speaker 3: No, uh, bead getting stuck up the Yeah, nothing like that.
- 10:37Speaker 3: That never happened to me grown up either. I don't
- 10:40Speaker 3: think my older maybe my older brother at one point,
- 10:43Speaker 3: but me my younger sister. I don't think either of
- 10:45Speaker 3: us got anything stuck in our nose.
- 10:47Speaker 2: This is a sad moment, But I was an only
- 10:49Speaker 2: child with like my so I remember it playing with
- 10:52Speaker 2: my barbies and like shoving, like cutting their hair and
- 10:55Speaker 2: their stuff and like putting stuff in their face and
- 10:58Speaker 2: feeding them yogurt and justroy. But that's what I remember
- 11:02Speaker 2: because I didn't have a brother or anything. But you
- 11:03Speaker 2: would have thought being an only child, I would have
- 11:05Speaker 2: been more creative, like doing things, weird things.
- 11:09Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel you. Well, No, I never had anything
- 11:11Speaker 1: like that.
- 11:11Speaker 3: I did get my lip stuck to a door once,
- 11:14Speaker 3: but that's about the weirdest thing I can remember it
- 11:16Speaker 3: like it was.
- 11:18Speaker 1: Yeah, I was doing you know the old like tongue
- 11:20Speaker 1: stuck to the pole thing.
- 11:21Speaker 3: Yeah, well I was sorry, Yeah, I was too afraid
- 11:24Speaker 3: to try that, and I was like, well, let me
- 11:25Speaker 3: see if this lip will stick onto this thing.
- 11:28Speaker 1: And our front door.
- 11:29Speaker 3: We had, like you know, your normal door and then
- 11:32Speaker 3: the little metal or tin aluminum, yes, you know, kind
- 11:35Speaker 3: of crappy door that sits outside.
- 11:37Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 11:37Speaker 3: I remember putting my lip on there and it kind
- 11:39Speaker 3: of got stuck, and then I was able to get
- 11:42Speaker 3: it off, and I was like, well, let me see
- 11:43Speaker 3: for good measure, and for seconds my mom had to
- 11:49Speaker 3: come out and basically like ripped me off the Oh
- 11:52Speaker 3: my gosh, So was it an injury. No, I just
- 11:56Speaker 3: had like I really just kind of got scabby. I
- 11:58Speaker 3: didn't like really bleed every where, but it was pretty bad,
- 12:01Speaker 3: but never anything stuck in the old nose. So parents,
- 12:04Speaker 3: if you are struggling, and I'm not one to get
- 12:07Speaker 3: parents advice, no, but if you're struggling with some fingies
- 12:10Speaker 3: in the nose, let them know that that could lead
- 12:13Speaker 3: to a very horrific injury that could lead him to
- 12:16Speaker 3: the hospital.
- 12:17Speaker 1: What in the world that is some deep diving, sir?
- 12:21Speaker 1: That's right. Today's variety Big ninety eight point seven.
- 12:26Speaker 2: I'll right, some sunshine today is still cooler than yesterday, though.
- 12:29Speaker 3: I have about thirty five I've been cooking on this
- 12:31Speaker 3: theory for I think the past like four years, and
- 12:34Speaker 3: I'm ready to share it with you this morning. I
- 12:36Speaker 3: want to know how you feel about this, Okay. I
- 12:39Speaker 3: think with smartphones.
- 12:41Speaker 5: Our ability to remember things retain information is going to
- 12:50Speaker 5: completely go out the window.
- 12:52Speaker 3: For example, we have call me maybe playing here. How
- 12:56Speaker 3: many phone numbers do you have memorized today?
- 13:01Speaker 1: I would say probably.
- 13:05Speaker 3: Six six's that's pretty good.
- 13:08Speaker 1: Husbands, yep.
- 13:11Speaker 2: My parents so both my dad's, my step mom and
- 13:17Speaker 2: actually just one of my girlfriends now because the other
- 13:20Speaker 2: one moved to the city. Is and that sixty one
- 13:21Speaker 2: to two number ain't coming in this brain.
- 13:23Speaker 3: Right, But at one point you probably had like ten
- 13:28Speaker 3: to fifteen minimum.
- 13:30Speaker 1: Are you kidding?
- 13:30Speaker 2: I remembered every man's phone numbers, even cell phone numbers.
- 13:34Speaker 1: Yeah, back in the day.
- 13:36Speaker 3: Yeah, I have so my wife, my uh mom and
- 13:41Speaker 3: dad and then the guy we call for meetings from
- 13:45Speaker 3: the studio, and I don't actually have the number memorized.
- 13:48Speaker 3: I just have the pattern memorized on the studio phone,
- 13:51Speaker 3: so I don't actually even know what the number is.
- 13:53Speaker 1: So I think I have three.
- 13:55Speaker 3: I by far could memorize up to fifteen to twenty
- 13:58Speaker 3: cell phone numbers before or smartphones.
- 14:01Speaker 2: I mean even just going back in the day. I
- 14:03Speaker 2: know you're talking about numbers, but do you remember when
- 14:07Speaker 2: like new songs and stuff would come out.
- 14:09Speaker 1: I remember sitting in the.
- 14:10Speaker 2: Back of a van with an astro van with my
- 14:15Speaker 2: girlfriend and we would sit down and listen to songs
- 14:19Speaker 2: on repeat and write down the lyrics so what we
- 14:22Speaker 2: thought they were because you didn't they didn't have them printed,
- 14:26Speaker 2: or you can just go to Google and do like
- 14:27Speaker 2: you just think of all the memory that we how
- 14:30Speaker 2: would we practice.
- 14:32Speaker 1: Yeah, muscle memory, I mean all of it.
- 14:34Speaker 3: I've had this theory for a long time, and I'm
- 14:36Speaker 3: definitely not claiming to be the first. So I'm sure
- 14:38Speaker 3: this has been talked about before, but for the longest time,
- 14:41Speaker 3: I've thought, you know, with smartphones, we're not forced to
- 14:44Speaker 3: remember anything because we can look it up the second
- 14:48Speaker 3: we need it, and then the second you learn it,
- 14:50Speaker 3: it's out of your brain. Stem phone numbers, I don't
- 14:54Speaker 3: know a single number in my phone that is not
- 14:57Speaker 3: someone I'm kind of directly connected to aka a wife, mom, dad,
- 15:01Speaker 3: And I don't know my older brother or sister's phone number.
- 15:04Speaker 1: I wouldn't even begin to have a clue. I don't
- 15:06Speaker 1: even know what their area codes are, not even not
- 15:10Speaker 1: even close. How sad is that? It is?
- 15:14Speaker 2: It really is when you think about it, and it's
- 15:16Speaker 2: just going to how many times you sit down in
- 15:17Speaker 2: a conversation and instantly you're having the conversation.
- 15:22Speaker 1: But how quick is it that you.
- 15:24Speaker 2: Don't use your brain, Yeah, that you go right to
- 15:27Speaker 2: your phone to google it?
- 15:28Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. I mean it's just such an easy it's
- 15:30Speaker 1: called easy access.
- 15:31Speaker 3: So I want to know what you think about my theory.
- 15:33Speaker 3: Do you think I'm onto something here?
- 15:36Speaker 1: Yes?
- 15:37Speaker 3: Are going to ruin people's memories in the very near future.
- 15:41Speaker 2: Let me think they already have. Yeah, I'm sure the
- 15:44Speaker 2: bets are already on there. This is Exhibit A and
- 15:47Speaker 2: Exhibit B. You know there's one phone number, though, Amanda.
- 15:50Speaker 2: I don't think you'll ever forget. Do you remember the
- 15:52Speaker 2: phone number? Eight six, seven, five three or nine three?

- 16:21Speaker 3: What would twelve year old you never believe about the
- 16:26Speaker 3: adult you are you currently? What would twelve year old
- 16:29Speaker 3: Amanda never believe our current Amanda?
- 16:33Speaker 4: Oh?
- 16:33Speaker 1: J Dawes or is doing or whatever in our life?
- 16:37Speaker 2: Twelve year old Amanda lived in the Wadina Deer Creek area.
- 16:40Speaker 1: It's beautiful and as soon.
- 16:42Speaker 2: As I graduated from high school, I wanted to get
- 16:44Speaker 2: back to Denver. Colorado baby. I was going to be
- 16:47Speaker 2: a big city girl. I wanted to move to New York.
- 16:50Speaker 2: I wanted to be at one point a fashion designer
- 16:54Speaker 2: then like on TV.
- 16:55Speaker 1: Couldn't read a teleprompter. All of that.
- 16:58Speaker 2: Sure, to Denver, But here I am in Fargo, living
- 17:02Speaker 2: my best life and so happy. I honestly never would
- 17:05Speaker 2: have thought that I would have been home and stayed
- 17:07Speaker 2: here as long as I have.
- 17:08Speaker 3: Sure, all right, that's kind of cool. I like that
- 17:11Speaker 3: major way to Denver. You even gave us the peace
- 17:14Speaker 3: sign with the big city girl that no one could
- 17:16Speaker 3: see the things.
- 17:17Speaker 2: Yeah, I was like, I'm out of here. I'm gonna
- 17:19Speaker 2: go do big things. And I just love that. My
- 17:22Speaker 2: heart was always back here.
- 17:23Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's really cool, actually very cool. Twelve
- 17:26Speaker 3: year old Gabe, I don't. I was convinced I would
- 17:29Speaker 3: be a professional athlete of some sort. Absolutely, can you
- 17:33Speaker 3: and every other guy? Yeah, absolutely convinced I was destined
- 17:39Speaker 3: for millions fame, stardom, winning World Series championships, playing more
- 17:45Speaker 3: games in a row than Cal Ripkin junior. That was
- 17:48Speaker 3: always what I wanted to do growing up, was play
- 17:50Speaker 3: more consecutive baseball games than Cal Ripkin. Junior.
- 17:52Speaker 1: Were you a baller? Did you play a lot of baseball? Yeah?
- 17:55Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I was good? You were? Yeah? Did you
- 17:58Speaker 1: play out high school? No, that's awesome. I don't know.
- 18:04Speaker 3: I was a captain on our high school team. Yeah,
- 18:06Speaker 3: me and my buddy Jake were the captains. But no,
- 18:08Speaker 3: I was a I was a very good, not great,
- 18:12Speaker 3: very good baseball player.
- 18:13Speaker 1: Does that make sense?
- 18:14Speaker 3: Yes, very good in high school, not good enough to
- 18:18Speaker 3: be very good in college.
- 18:19Speaker 2: Do you regret never doing like Juco or anything like that?
- 18:22Speaker 2: Did you have that opportunity or could you?
- 18:24Speaker 4: Yes?
- 18:25Speaker 1: Oh yeah, for sure, for sure, for sure.
- 18:28Speaker 3: But I I realistically I probably could have played some
- 18:32Speaker 3: college baseball, but I would have had to like red
- 18:34Speaker 3: shirt my first year and spend an entire year lifting weights,
- 18:38Speaker 3: and who, like, who wants to do that when you
- 18:40Speaker 3: got to be the star that your whole life. I
- 18:42Speaker 3: didn't want to sit on the bench for a year.
- 18:44Speaker 3: I didn't forget that. So I do regret that a lot,
- 18:46Speaker 3: but also kind of not. I mean, you've obviously had
- 18:49Speaker 3: a great career. Yeah, I've had a great life. But yeah, no,
- 18:53Speaker 3: I thought I was destined for the big bucks. And
- 18:56Speaker 3: I'm left handed and I was a pretty good pitcher
- 18:58Speaker 3: growing up, but then I add some bad shoulder blade
- 19:02Speaker 3: issues when I was about seventeen, so there that ruined
- 19:05Speaker 3: my big league dreams. Basically, I was a when you're
- 19:09Speaker 3: left handed and you can, you know, pitch a little bit,
- 19:12Speaker 3: you can kind of stay your favor. Yeah, first, it
- 19:14Speaker 3: helps you for sure. So other than that, the only
- 19:17Speaker 3: other thing twelve year old me would never believe probably
- 19:22Speaker 3: that at thirty four years old, I haven't figured out
- 19:24Speaker 3: jack squat, you know, I I And when you're twelve
- 19:28Speaker 3: and you hear thirty four, you're like, oh, they know
- 19:30Speaker 3: everything about everything. They know so much about the world,
- 19:33Speaker 3: and they know they have everything together or whatever.
- 19:36Speaker 1: It's like I just wake up and hope. You know
- 19:39Speaker 1: what I'm saying.
- 19:40Speaker 3: I wake up and I get through life off adrenaline
- 19:43Speaker 3: and hope. When I was twelve, I'd oh, yeah, i'll
- 19:46Speaker 3: know what to do when I'm thirty four, It'll be great.
- 19:48Speaker 1: You've got it together. You have a job together. I
- 19:51Speaker 1: have a job and a wife or whatever.
- 19:53Speaker 2: Baking it sound like you literally roll out of bed
- 19:55Speaker 2: every day and don't know what you're doing.
- 19:56Speaker 3: I sort of kind of get through on just hope
- 20:00Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying.
- 20:02Speaker 1: I'm just you get what I'm trying to say.
- 20:03Speaker 3: Though, when you're young, you think everyone who's an adult
- 20:05Speaker 3: has their whole life figured out and it's super easy
- 20:08Speaker 3: and YadA YadA ya yah.
- 20:09Speaker 2: Well you also twelve years old you're thinking that thirty four.
- 20:12Speaker 2: I mean in depending on when you have children and
- 20:15Speaker 2: where you're at, but you look at There was a
- 20:17Speaker 2: meme the other day and I cannot remember what TV
- 20:20Speaker 2: mom or dad it was, but I thought they were
- 20:22Speaker 2: in their seventies in this program growing Up and they
- 20:26Speaker 2: are in their thirties.
- 20:27Speaker 1: Yeah, thirty seventy. Your mindset is just not quite there.
