Speaker 3: It was so good?
0:30
Speaker 4: It was My least favorite holiday is Thanksgiving? Right, I'm
0:36
Speaker 4: not a fan, not into it, and I actually had
0:41
Speaker 4: a blast. I had the best Thanksgiving. It was such
0:44
Speaker 4: a good time. We had a lot of good food,
0:46
Speaker 4: We had a lot of good quality family time.
0:49
Speaker 3: It was really nice.
0:51
Speaker 2: What about yours? It was great.
0:52
Speaker 1: It was really cool hanging out with the Cory's family.
0:55
Speaker 1: They got Thanksgiving this year, so I think that means
0:58
Speaker 1: my family gets Christmas. Oun't really ah works. We used
1:01
Speaker 1: to kind of have guidelines we went by, but those
1:03
Speaker 1: have gone on the window. Well, if you have got
1:06
Speaker 1: leftovers in your fridge, today is the last day, supposedly
1:14
Speaker 1: that you can safely eat those.
1:15
Speaker 2: Okay.
1:16
Speaker 1: If your fridge is anything like ours and you're doing
1:18
Speaker 1: tetris trying to get things in and out of that, yeah,
1:21
Speaker 1: you'll want to either A eat those leftovers today. Maybe
1:26
Speaker 1: just go buffet style and redo Thanksgiving tonight with the
1:29
Speaker 1: family to try to clear out the fridge. Yeah, or
1:33
Speaker 1: get them in the freezer a sap all right. According
1:36
Speaker 1: to the USDA, turkey, stuffing, potatoes, sweet potatoes, green beans, gravy,
1:41
Speaker 1: and pumpkin pie can all be stored in the fridge
1:44
Speaker 1: for three to four ish days if you don't want
1:47
Speaker 1: to waste the food you have. Most of those leftovers
1:49
Speaker 1: can last a few months in the freezer.
1:52
Speaker 3: And a freezer that's doing them all.
1:54
Speaker 5: Now.
1:54
Speaker 2: If you don't have a freezer, you know what you.
1:56
Speaker 3: Do, put it outside, towsome outside.

2:18
Speaker 6: Celebrating life's little victories victory every morning we practice gratitude
2:23
Speaker 6: on Big ninety eight point seven.
2:25
Speaker 5: If I could, I would keep this feeling in a
2:27
Speaker 5: basket job busted out when it was someone's acting hard.
2:30
Speaker 6: I just really needed to win, you know, sure your
2:33
Speaker 6: little victories with us at seven oh one, two and
2:36
Speaker 6: one eight seven.
2:39
Speaker 1: All right, little victories, Happy Monday. We hope you had
2:42
Speaker 1: a wonderful Thanksgiving. Maybe you had a day or two
2:44
Speaker 1: off and I got to spend some time with the family.
2:47
Speaker 1: We practice gratitude every day here on Big nine eight seven,
2:50
Speaker 1: and I'll tell you what. I don't know what it is,
2:53
Speaker 1: but there's something about practicing gratitude in December that just
2:57
Speaker 1: hits a tiny bit different than in March.
2:59
Speaker 2: Okay, I don't know.
2:59
Speaker 1: Why it is what it is, but we do have
3:03
Speaker 1: a little victory. This is from Ellie. She said, Hi,
3:06
Speaker 1: Gabe and Angie. My little victory this morning is that I,
3:10
Speaker 1: like Gabe, made my first Thanksgiving turkey and it turned
3:14
Speaker 1: out okay. Oh yes, she wouldn't say great, but she
3:18
Speaker 1: said it was definitely solid dot dot dot at least edible.
3:22
Speaker 2: Okay, she said, I was happy.
3:23
Speaker 1: All that matters, That's right, She said, I was happy
3:25
Speaker 1: and am really excited to make a few adjustments next year.
3:29
Speaker 2: Ellie. So Ellie, congratulations.
3:32
Speaker 1: It can be uh, it can be a little scary
3:34
Speaker 1: making the Thanksgiving turkey, I would say, because if it
3:37
Speaker 1: kind of doesn't turn out, you really hope the other
3:39
Speaker 1: stuff does well.
3:40
Speaker 4: At least it was okay, And the only way that
3:42
Speaker 4: she's gonna get better is by doing that's right, Right,
3:45
Speaker 4: So she took the first step and it was okay.
3:46
Speaker 4: It was solid, and that's what Thanksgiving sides are for. Okay,
3:50
Speaker 4: the one hundred, you've got other stuff you can eat.
3:53
Speaker 2: That's right, Angie. Do you have a little victory this morning?
3:56
Speaker 4: I do, and it's not even Christmas related, which you
3:59
Speaker 4: would think I showed up here in a Christmas sweater. However,
4:03
Speaker 4: this one's for you, Gabe. This was on Wednesday, on
4:07
Speaker 4: the way home from work, stepped at the Quickstar and
4:12
Speaker 4: grabbed two boxes of chicken. All right, let's go, Mikey said.
4:18
Speaker 3: It was a ten out of ten.
4:20
Speaker 2: They're so good.
4:20
Speaker 4: Yeah, the kids gave it an eight out of ten.
4:22
Speaker 4: And when I said eight out of ten, why, they said, well,
4:25
Speaker 4: we just can't give anything a ten. Yeah, that's right.
4:27
Speaker 4: But they loved it and that kept them happy and
4:29
Speaker 4: fed for the rest of the evening on Wednesday.
4:32
Speaker 3: So, yeah, that was the little victory.
4:34
Speaker 1: I love that I've been telling. If you do not
4:36
Speaker 1: know the backstory of that. I've been telling Angie about
4:39
Speaker 1: that chicken for like a year, for literally like a year.
4:44
Speaker 1: It's pretty incredible. So I think that's great. I'm very
4:47
Speaker 1: happy for you. I'm glad they got to experience the
4:50
Speaker 1: quick chicken there.
4:51
Speaker 3: All right, you Gabe, what's what's your little victory?
4:54
Speaker 2: My little victory?
4:55
Speaker 1: So I was a horrible younger brother On my older
4:59
Speaker 1: brother birthday on November twenty fourth, I.
5:02
Speaker 2: Basically kind of forgot all about it.
5:05
Speaker 1: I didn't really forget all about it, but I did
5:07
Speaker 1: forget to wish him a happy birthday, all right, So
5:09
Speaker 1: I did get to tell him happy birthday in person.
5:13
Speaker 1: But also I'm gonna try to make up for that.
5:15
Speaker 1: All we can do is try to be better the
5:17
Speaker 1: next day. Okay, every day you wake up, you just
5:19
Speaker 1: try to be better the next day. I will remember
5:23
Speaker 1: today to wish my younger sister a happy birthday. Okay,
5:26
Speaker 1: happy birthday to my younger sister today. I hope you
5:30
Speaker 1: have a wonderful day. So my brother's birthdays, I think
5:34
Speaker 1: I know where you're going in.
5:35
Speaker 3: Yeah.
5:35
Speaker 1: Yeah, my brother's birthday is November twenty fourth. My sister's
5:40
Speaker 1: birthday is December first, and my birthday is this Friday,
5:44
Speaker 1: on December fifth, so my parents really like March.
5:47
Speaker 2: If my math is correct.
5:50
Speaker 1: If you ever have a little victory and want to
5:52
Speaker 1: send us one, do that. We love hearing your great stories,
5:55
Speaker 1: just little fun things to be positive about every morning
5:57
Speaker 1: at seven oh one two eight zero one seven. And
6:03
Speaker 1: just as guaranteed as the sun is going to rise
6:06
Speaker 1: in the east and set in the west, it'll start
6:09
Speaker 1: to get cold in November and December. In the FM area,
6:13
Speaker 1: Christmas season has arrived.
6:16
Speaker 2: It is December first.
6:20
Speaker 1: If you are a celebrator of Christmas, maybe your family
6:23
Speaker 1: has some really cool Christmas traditions. All right, Dad makes
6:28
Speaker 1: prime rib every year and Mom absolutely slays it on
6:32
Speaker 1: the mashed potatoes with garlic butter or whatever that tradition
6:36
Speaker 1: might be. Do you have a tradition, and you can
6:38
Speaker 1: go ahead and be honest with me, because there is
6:40
Speaker 1: one at my house that I am going to do
6:43
Speaker 1: everything in my power to put an end to.
6:46
Speaker 2: Next year.
6:46
Speaker 3: You want to end traditions.
6:49
Speaker 1: There is a tradition I would like to stop at
6:51
Speaker 1: my house. But if you have one, let us know
6:54
Speaker 1: At seven oh one two eight zero one nine eight seven.
6:57
Speaker 1: All of the traditions you love? That's one full. It's beautiful.
7:01
Speaker 1: Is there a tradition that it's gotta go?
7:04
Speaker 2: Okay?
7:05
Speaker 1: This December is the December you put your foot down.
7:09
Speaker 1: Let us know, call us for Texas seven oh one
7:10
Speaker 1: too eight zero one to nine eight seven. Do you
7:12
Speaker 1: have a tradition like that?
7:13
Speaker 3: This is so funny to me.
7:14
Speaker 4: I'm so on the opposite end of the spectrum with
7:17
Speaker 4: this one because I feel like I didn't.
7:19
Speaker 3: Have enough for my liking.
7:21
Speaker 4: I didn't have enough Christmas traditions growing up, so I
7:25
Speaker 4: want to add more.
7:26
Speaker 3: I want to add more traditions.
7:28
Speaker 4: In fact, for Thanksgiving, we just started a new tradition,
7:31
Speaker 4: which was to have Thanksgiving lunch Charlie Brown style. So
7:36
Speaker 4: it's the Thanksgiving meal that Snoopy makes for Charlie Brown
7:40
Speaker 4: and his friends. Sure in the special, it's buttered toast, popcorn,
7:45
Speaker 4: pretzel sticks, and jelly beans. And so we started that
7:48
Speaker 4: this year and it's like this is what we're so
7:50
Speaker 4: whatever is happening in the Charlie Brown Christmas Special, I
7:54
Speaker 4: need to watch. We're probably gonna add that tradition to ours,
7:57
Speaker 4: Like I want more traditions. What are you trying to stop, Gabe.
8:02
Speaker 1: To me, it just sounds like you have a tradition.
8:05
Speaker 1: Your kids are gonna try to stop one day.
8:07
Speaker 3: Oh my god, they probably will.
8:09
Speaker 1: I'll tell you mine after Jackie, Jackie, do you have
8:11
Speaker 1: a Christmas tradition or you know, just a holiday tradition you'd.
8:14
Speaker 2: Like to stop.
8:15
Speaker 5: Everyone must stay the whole day holiday rules.
8:18
Speaker 3: My family acts like leaving before midnight is a personal attack.
8:22
Speaker 2: Oh wow. See, my family's the opposite.
8:25
Speaker 3: Oh, they like get out and.
8:26
Speaker 1: When we have like big family get togethers, I mean
8:29
Speaker 1: kind of once the hull of balloo is over, everyone's slowly.
8:32
Speaker 2: It's pretty good about leaving before five.
8:34
Speaker 3: Well, that's funny.
8:36
Speaker 1: You know, there's a tradition at my house i'd really
8:38
Speaker 1: like to stop. Every year we put up the tree,
8:43
Speaker 1: and every year our cats go ahead and ruin the
8:47
Speaker 1: dang tree. It's just I would do anything to put
8:50
Speaker 1: an end to that tradition at my house forever.
8:52
Speaker 2: What about you?
8:53
Speaker 5: My family who always goes camping on the first week
8:56
Speaker 5: of every summer, and I hate it. It's always super
8:59
Speaker 5: hot and they're bugs everywhere. I'm just not a fan
9:03
Speaker 5: of camping in general.
9:04
Speaker 2: So that's like it's not a holiday tradition.
9:07
Speaker 3: That's so, that's just what he was like. I felt
9:09
Speaker 3: that in my soul.
9:10
Speaker 4: I had to get off my chest.
9:14
Speaker 2: This is am I the problem.
9:17
Speaker 3: It's me, Hi the problem, it's me.
9:22
Speaker 6: We'll hear one side of the story and with your
9:24
Speaker 6: help probably decide if it's right or if maybe you're
9:29
Speaker 6: the problem.
9:30
Speaker 3: That's right, I am a problem on Big.
9:33
Speaker 2: Ninety eight point seven.
9:36
Speaker 4: Say if any wrote into us Gabe with a classic
9:39
Speaker 4: I hooked up with my friend's X.
9:41
Speaker 2: Here we go.
9:42
Speaker 4: I hooked up with my friend's ex, but I think
9:44
Speaker 4: I should get a pass.
9:46
Speaker 3: I had a crush on him first for a.
9:48
Speaker 4: Very long time, but she's more outgoing than me, and
9:52
Speaker 4: she started talking to him first.
9:54
Speaker 3: He flirted with both of us for a while, but.
9:56
Speaker 4: He chose her and they dated for like six months
9:59
Speaker 4: and I barely even saw her or them while they dated.
10:03
Speaker 4: When they broke up, she reached out to me and
10:05
Speaker 4: we started hanging out all the time again. She said
10:09
Speaker 4: they broke up because he's manipulative and gaslights or whatever,
10:13
Speaker 4: and she lost feelings. They've been broken up for six
10:16
Speaker 4: months ish now. He started refollowed me. Oh, you had
10:21
Speaker 4: a typo girl. He started following me on Snap and
10:26
Speaker 4: ig and started hearting my stories, and we hung out
10:29
Speaker 4: and hooked up a few times.
10:32
Speaker 3: I wasn't trying to date him, but I just had to.
10:35
Speaker 4: Find out what being with him was like since I
10:38
Speaker 4: had the biggest crush on him for so long.
10:40
Speaker 3: I'm worried if.
10:41
Speaker 4: She finds out, she's gonna be mad as hell. But
10:44
Speaker 4: I really think this isn't actually bad. What do you think?
10:48
Speaker 1: I can't help, but lev who'd have thought fellas All
10:51
Speaker 1: it took was to like a story or two on
10:53
Speaker 1: Instagram with a heart. Well, here's what I'll say. Okay,
11:00
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to justify our actions. This obviously is
11:03
Speaker 1: not great, but it doesn't sound like you and this
11:06
Speaker 1: girl were that great of friends. She gets a boyfriend
11:09
Speaker 1: and you, guys just stop hanging out Like this girl
11:11
Speaker 1: isn't really your bestie, that's your acquaintance.
11:14
Speaker 2: Who cares if you hook up with your acquaintances?
11:16
Speaker 3: X Oh my gosh, GiB that's.
11:19
Speaker 2: Not your friend?
11:19
Speaker 1: Really?
11:21
Speaker 2: Well, what you're not friends anymore because of a dude?
11:24
Speaker 2: That friendship wasn't that strong to begin with.
11:27
Speaker 4: What are your thoughts? Seven oh one two eight oh one,
11:29
Speaker 4: nine eighty seven. I think the fact that she wrote
11:33
Speaker 4: to us in the first place, on some level she
11:37
Speaker 4: knows the same Great.
11:38
Speaker 2: Yeah, ain't great.
11:40
Speaker 3: It's a bad look. I think if we really like
11:44
Speaker 3: pare it down. I think they broke up.
11:48
Speaker 4: They've been broken up for as long a time as
11:50
Speaker 4: they were even together, right, So I feel like that
11:53
Speaker 4: kind of cancels things out. I don't think it's the worst.
11:56
Speaker 4: She's not trying to date him for real, she just
11:59
Speaker 4: wanted to. We've all been there. We've all had that crush.
12:02
Speaker 4: In fact, I've been there. No, we've all had that
12:05
Speaker 4: crush where you just have to see what it's like
12:09
Speaker 4: because you had dreamt about it for so long, you
12:11
Speaker 4: know what I mean. Yeah, it seems like she got
12:13
Speaker 4: it out of her system.
12:15
Speaker 3: She just doesn't want her friend to find out.
12:18
Speaker 1: Seven oh one two eight zero one nine eight seven. Uh,
12:22
Speaker 1: what do you think? And this girl gave us her name?
12:25
Speaker 4: I feel like there are a lot of Tiffany's in
12:27
Speaker 4: the land, right, she didn't sit Now, if she would
12:30
Speaker 4: have said my friend and then whoever the name is,
12:33
Speaker 4: that would have been a problem. But Tiffany wrote in
12:41
Speaker 4: wondering if she's the problem because she hooked up with
12:44
Speaker 4: her friend's ex. But she said, I had a crush
12:49
Speaker 4: on him first, she just had to find out what
12:53
Speaker 4: it was like. Now, I mean they were broken up.
12:55
Speaker 4: It's not like there was a cheating thing. But she
12:58
Speaker 4: wants to know if my friend five.
13:00
Speaker 3: Should I be worried?
13:01
Speaker 1: Yeah, I tell you what, this might must be one
13:04
Speaker 1: hunk of a guy. Best he's fighting over him. Good
13:08
Speaker 1: for him, dude. Okay, I didn't say this. Okay, well,
13:13
Speaker 1: I'll tell you that one in one second. We did
13:14
Speaker 1: just get another text here. This person said she's justified
13:19
Speaker 1: she shouldn't get worked up over something that can be
13:22
Speaker 1: swept under the rug.
13:25
Speaker 3: Nice, what she doesn't know won't hurt her. But what
13:28
Speaker 3: what if you take the rug up?
13:30
Speaker 1: Like yeah, I mean at some point you got to
13:32
Speaker 1: vacuum up the dust and it comes up, you know. Yeah, So, yeah,
13:35
Speaker 1: I guess you're right. If you can just lie your
13:37
Speaker 1: whole life, it'll.
13:37
Speaker 2: Be fine.
13:40
Speaker 1: And kind of keep it under wraps, it'll be fine
13:43
Speaker 1: until it isn't.
13:44
Speaker 4: Until it isn't well, at the very least by yourself
13:47
Speaker 4: some time, try and make sure that your friend doesn't
13:49
Speaker 4: find out.
13:50
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, Angie, you're the resident woman here on ninety
13:53
Speaker 1: eight point seven.
13:54
Speaker 2: Would you be upset if this were you?
13:57
Speaker 4: If I were you were the girl Tiffany's friend you, No, No,
14:02
Speaker 4: I don't think I would be upset. In fact, I
14:04
Speaker 4: was in a similar situation years ago. I feel like
14:09
Speaker 4: Tiffany sounds young and back when I was young, because
14:12
Speaker 4: it ain't now.
14:13
Speaker 3: Back when I was young, I dated a guy.
14:15
Speaker 4: I ended up not being super into him, and I
14:17
Speaker 4: had a close friend who hooked up with him, and
14:19
Speaker 4: she told me and she was so stressed out about
14:23
Speaker 4: it and she was crying, and I was like, that's fine,
14:25
Speaker 4: Like I just didn't care that much because I'm not
14:27
Speaker 4: with him anymore. She wasn't trying to date him. I
14:30
Speaker 4: feel like, in the grand scheme of things, it's not
14:32
Speaker 4: the worst.
14:33
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe her friend wouldn't really care. She'd be like, oh,
14:35
Speaker 1: that's fine. It wasn't all that it's cracked up to be.
14:38
Speaker 3: Wasn't compared notes, Yeah, right, all right.
14:41
Speaker 1: And then finally I didn't say this, Alie said this.
14:45
Speaker 4: Okay, I'm really concerned with how emphatic you are that
14:49
Speaker 4: you didn't say it.
14:49
Speaker 3: Okay, what Allie say.
14:51
Speaker 1: When Ali under the bus here, Ali said besties before
14:57
Speaker 1: testes to be honest, but she also she also said,
15:01
Speaker 1: I'm with Gabe here. They weren't really friends. It sounds
15:03
Speaker 1: like they weren't that close. What one of them gets
15:05
Speaker 1: a boyfriend, they just aren't friends anymore. They don't hang out.
15:08
Speaker 1: I stand when your friends get a significant other, how
15:12
Speaker 1: maybe the amount of time you get to spend together
15:15
Speaker 1: decreases just because they now have to share part of
15:18
Speaker 1: their time with this other person. But to basically fall
15:21
Speaker 1: apart for six seven months, yeah.
15:23
Speaker 3: She said they barely sighed each other.
15:25
Speaker 4: Now that might beg the question what do you consider barely?
15:29
Speaker 3: But I think, Tiffany, you're in the clear.
15:34
Speaker 1: Rocket maybe not quite a rocket man, but a roquette woman,
15:42
Speaker 1: Angie maybe potentially.
15:45
Speaker 4: This all started a few weeks ago. I saw the
15:48
Speaker 4: Rockets on the Today Show. They were performing a little
15:52
Speaker 4: routine on the plaza, and I looked at that screen
15:54
Speaker 4: and all that I can do that.
15:56
Speaker 3: I could be a roquette. I don't have the height.
15:58
Speaker 2: There's some confidence in there.
16:00
Speaker 4: There was, yes, and so then Gabe challenged me to
16:04
Speaker 4: not become an official rocket that's entirely too difficult, but
16:08
Speaker 4: to put together a roquette style routine. And then I
16:12
Speaker 4: had one month to get it together and then perform this.
16:16
Speaker 4: So next Tuesday, oh my gosh, already next Tuesday, I
16:22
Speaker 4: need to perform this rockettes routine. Now, if anybody watched
16:25
Speaker 4: the Macy Thanksgiving Day parade, the rockets are celebrating one
16:30
Speaker 4: hundred years of rockets, and so.
16:33
Speaker 2: They'd been rocketting for one hundred years.
16:36
Speaker 4: Yes, and so they did a performance. And if you
16:39
Speaker 4: go to the Big ninety eight point seven Facebook page,
16:43
Speaker 4: you can see the video. I tried to keep up
16:45
Speaker 4: with this performance and mimic the moves, and I mean,
16:50
Speaker 4: you have to watch for yourself. It's there on the
16:52
Speaker 4: Big ninety eight point seven Facebook page.
16:54
Speaker 3: Not great, Gabe, not great.
16:57
Speaker 1: Well, there's at least we know what our starting point is.
17:00
Speaker 1: We know we know where the floor is.
17:02
Speaker 3: Now.
17:02
Speaker 2: How high can we build this now?
17:03
Speaker 4: How high can we build this? How high can I kick?
17:06
Speaker 4: That's the big thing is the Roquette kicks. So thankfully
17:11
Speaker 4: Base Studios, Base Dance Studios, Amanda, who runs it, she
17:17
Speaker 4: reached out when I initially talked about wanting to be Roquette,
17:21
Speaker 4: and she said, we'll help you.
17:22
Speaker 3: You need all the help you can get.
17:23
Speaker 4: No, she didn't say that, but she did reach out
17:26
Speaker 4: and say that she wanted to help. So tomorrow, Gabe,
17:30
Speaker 4: I've got a training session in the evening, and I
17:34
Speaker 4: think this is my only chance to really train with
17:37
Speaker 4: professionals who know what they're doing, and so I'm going
17:40
Speaker 4: to try and absorb as much as i can. Obviously
17:45
Speaker 4: gonna record it to see how far I can go.
17:50
Speaker 3: I'm really nervous about this.
17:52
Speaker 1: And I'm curious what roquet training looks like. Is it
17:56
Speaker 1: combo dance combo, maybe cheer squad because there's a lot
18:00
Speaker 1: of kicks in cheer, there's obviously some dance moves involved.
18:04
Speaker 2: Is it a little combo of both? Are they?
18:06
Speaker 1: Are you just gonna sit and do the splits all
18:08
Speaker 1: day to try to get more flexible.
18:09
Speaker 3: I don't know. I mean, at the very least, I
18:12
Speaker 3: know it's not like Rocky training.
18:13
Speaker 4: I don't have to like punch meats that are hanging
18:16
Speaker 4: in a freezer or anything, so it's not gonna be
18:18
Speaker 4: the worst. I just I'm excited to learn, and come
18:23
Speaker 4: December eighth, which is next Tuesday, I will hot ninth.
18:27
Speaker 2: I think that night Tuesday.
18:29
Speaker 4: I just next Tuesday, I will have a rocket style
18:33
Speaker 4: performance to unveil, and if I do a great job,
18:39
Speaker 4: we will give all the credit to Base Dance Studios.
18:41
Speaker 4: If I do a terrible job, some students can't be taught.
18:45
Speaker 3: I don't know.
18:49
Speaker 6: I starting off the day with something good. This is
18:55
Speaker 6: Gabe's good news on Big ninety eight point seven.
18:59
Speaker 1: Maybe this happened while you were spending some Thanksgiving time
19:02
Speaker 1: with your family this weekend or whatever. You're hanging out,
19:06
Speaker 1: you're eating your food, you're stuffed, and then one of
19:09
Speaker 1: the older relatives jumps into a story about the blizzard
19:12
Speaker 1: of sixty six or that time you know they climbed
19:15
Speaker 1: the water tower or whatever the story would be, and
19:17
Speaker 1: you went, we should write this down, and then you
19:20
Speaker 1: never do well. That's where Fargo's Valerie Monson comes in.
19:24
Speaker 1: She's the founder of History Catchers, which is a business
19:28
Speaker 1: that records family stories on video, audio or in written
19:32
Speaker 1: mini biographies. She interviews loved ones, scans photos, and creates
19:36
Speaker 1: what she calls a documentary of you. This idea started
19:41
Speaker 1: when she was eleven interviewing her great grandmother, Mabel, who
19:45
Speaker 1: was a tiny but tough twenty year old who single
19:48
Speaker 1: handedly kept the Dilworth train depot running during the nineteen
19:53
Speaker 1: eighteen flu pandemic.
19:55
Speaker 2: What that's for me?
19:56
Speaker 1: Yeah, that story would have been lost if Valerie hadn't
19:59
Speaker 1: record arded it well. Years later, after gathering more stories
20:03
Speaker 1: from her own grandparents, she realized how precious these memories are,
20:07
Speaker 1: and she built a business to help families save theirs.
20:10
Speaker 1: Monson launched History Catchers last year working with a business
20:14
Speaker 1: advisor at the North Dakota Small Business Development Center, and
20:18
Speaker 1: they told her there's nothing you can't do today. She
20:22
Speaker 1: walks into living rooms and sits at kitchen tables to
20:25
Speaker 1: ask people about their lives. She prepares clients in advance
20:28
Speaker 1: with simple questions like what was your first memory, what
20:32
Speaker 1: modern technology changed your life? And what message do you
20:36
Speaker 1: want to leave for your grandchildren? And she turns these
20:39
Speaker 1: into these, as she called it, many kind of documentaries
20:42
Speaker 1: or mini biographies.
20:43
Speaker 2: How sweet is that?
20:44
Speaker 3: Why am I so emotional about this?
20:46
Speaker 4: I think this is My mom has the most incredible stories,
20:51
Speaker 4: and I try to relay them to my kids. This
20:53
Speaker 4: is something I absolutely have to do. My mom's immigration
20:56
Speaker 4: story from Cuba is so intense and so beautiful. Yeah,
21:00
Speaker 4: and that needs to be documented. This is amazing, What
21:03
Speaker 4: a cool business.
21:04
Speaker 1: Yes, so once again, her name is Valerie Munson and
21:08
Speaker 1: it's just a really cool idea.
21:10
Speaker 2: It's called History Catchers the business.
21:13
Speaker 1: So if that's something you think you'd be interested, and
21:15
Speaker 1: I think it'd be worth checking out. But what just
21:16
Speaker 1: a cool thing for her to do, and how sweet
21:19
Speaker 1: preserving history a little bit, that's wonderful. The world's full
21:22
Speaker 1: of nice people. If you can't find one, you gotta
21:24
Speaker 1: be one.
