  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, keep your radio on, Gabe.
• 0:12
  Speaker 3: We got an email from a listener and I need
• 0:16
  Speaker 3: your take on this. I mean, she needs help figuring
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: out if she's the problem.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: That's right, Hi, Angie and Gabe.
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: I don't know if you remember me because it was busy,
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: but I stopped by your table at the picnic. Oh,
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: the Fargo Police picnic. Okay, I'm Ellie and I took
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: a lot of tutsie.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: Rules we go rules descriptive, but there was a lot
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: of people who told, well, nice to meet you.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: Nice to meet you, Ellie.
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: And I want to know if you think I'm the problem.
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: I got into it with a girlfriend because I snapped
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: at her for taking food off my plate. We got
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: panda and she got fried rice. I got chow maine.
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: Halfway through eating, she reaches over with her fork and
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: scoop some chow mane and eats it. I lost my
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: mind over it, even when she said I was welcome
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: to have some of her fried rice because I don't
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: even like fried rice. She thinks I'm overreacting, but I
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: hate sharing my food. Am I being ridiculous? Am I
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: the problem?
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: Gabe? You're giggling? I want your take on this.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Uh So, do I want my friend to take their
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: fork and like dig into my food and snatch it
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: off the plate and eat it?
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: M hmmm.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: No, I'd prefer they didn't, or at least they asked first.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: But I'm not gonna snap at them if they do.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's that is a little much for me.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: I do hate when my wife doesn't order fries and
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: gets potato chips and I get fries, and now all
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: of a sudden, I have potato chips and she has fries. Right,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: But no, I'm never ever gonna snap it a buddy
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: who just wants like a bite of whatever. I mean,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: if they're going in for multiples, we start stabbing hands
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: with forks.
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: Okay, but a bite there. Sharing's caring.
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: You are granting too much grace. I think that no, Ellie,
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: you're not the problem. Your friend is the problem and
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: the friendship actually, because why why she doesn't? She even
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: said she goes I don't even like fried rice. And
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: I bet if that's your friend, your friend knows that
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: your friend knows that you don't like fried rice, and
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: so they get the fried rice so that they can
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: eat all of the rice themselves, and then they.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: Take your chow mane and then you can help slimu
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: my fried rice. Girl, you know, I don't like fried rice.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: I'm taking this maybe more personally than Ellie does, but
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: I am so I don't share food. I don't like
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: I'm like Joey from Friends. I don't share food because
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: if I got the food that I wanted, it's because
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: I want to eat it, right, And if you got
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: the food that you want, because you want to eat
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: it unless we're going out to like a tapas place,
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: and the plan from jump is that we're sharing. In
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: my head, my food is my food. Your food is
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: your food, right? And how dare you so? You know what, Ellie,
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: I don't think you're the problem. I think your friend
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: is the problem. I think that it should be over.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Seven oh one two eight zero one nine eight seven.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Are you snapping at friends when they try to dive
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: on into your food, your plate or whatever, or is
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: it just not that big a deal?
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: Let us know what you think?
• 3:25
  Speaker 5: Was my mouth said story your food, It was like,
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: oh my god, no.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: The only time you.
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: Get to do that is when somebody offers here you
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: want to try this, or here you want to try this.
• 3:37
  Speaker 5: That's the only time you don't get to go across
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: with your fork and take my food or I'm going
• 3:41
  Speaker 5: to spect your hands.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, I'm obsessed with you. I love you.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: What's your name?
• 3:46
  Speaker 5: Diana?
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: Diana, Yes, you get it, A woman after my own heart.
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, don't be No, don't be messing with my food.
• 3:53
  Speaker 5: If I got my food, you don't be touching my food.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: That's the so cost well, Diana, thank you so much
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: for chrying in here this morning. If you are just
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: tout and have no idea what we're talking about, we
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: had a funny. Am I the problem this morning?
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: Ellie wanted to know she was the problem for all,
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: for like losing her mind when her friend reached over
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: and scooped food off of her plate because she doesn't
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: like to share her food.
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: To me, it all depends on who it is and
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: how good our friendship relationship whatever is. If it's my
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: older brother or younger sister, not only a are we stab
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: in hands with forks? Neither of us are gonna eat
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: cause I'm gonna take both plates up off the table,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: pour them on the ground, predo this whole process.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: I like, how extreme you go, Gabe.
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: I respect it now.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: If it's a good buddy or my wife or my
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: mom or whatever, I probably won't even I might like
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: roll my eyes, but I won't say anything about it.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: I don't think I ever want to eat with you
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: ever again.
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: On today's am I the Problem, Ellie wrote us, asking
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: if she's the problem for losing her mind when her
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: friend reached over and took food off her plate because
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: she doesn't like to share.
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: Food, which is fair to an extent.
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: To an extent seven oh one two eight one nine
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: eight seven, what do you think? Do you think Ellie
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: is the problem for not wanting to share her food?
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: And we do have Jody on the phone.
• 5:24
  Speaker 5: I've got some feedback for the food thing. If you
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: guys are still taking oh yes, well yeah, okay. So
• 5:30
  Speaker 5: in my opinion, this is a lesson and consent because
• 5:33
  Speaker 5: I taught my kids when they were little that they
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: get to decide if somebody gets to take their stuff
• 5:39
  Speaker 5: or their food, or if they get to share, and
• 5:41
  Speaker 5: that at least gives them an opportunity to say no.
• 5:44
  Speaker 5: Most of the time they're gonna say yes to somebody asked.
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: But in this case, I mean, all the friend had
• 5:49
  Speaker 5: to do is be like, hey, that looks really good,
• 5:51
  Speaker 5: Like maybe I want to bite next time, or maybe
• 5:53
  Speaker 5: I want to order that next time. You might if
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: I try a bite. Most likely her friend would have
• 5:57
  Speaker 5: said yes, get a clean for and dig in or
• 6:02
  Speaker 5: have a bite. But in this case, she wasn't even
• 6:05
  Speaker 5: given the opportunity to say no, So I probably would
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: have been pretty upset too.
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel like that's Gabe, where your head was
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: at was like just say, if you want some, just
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: ask me and I'll give it to you.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: But just reaching over, excuse me.
• 6:19
  Speaker 5: I also get the impression that, you know, the entitled
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: behavior of this friend, thinking that her other friend is
• 6:26
  Speaker 5: overreacting and that it's not a big deal, like this
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: is probably not the first time she's done this kind
• 6:30
  Speaker 5: of thing in the friendship. She's probably a very entitled person,
• 6:34
  Speaker 5: so I mean, it probably goes a long way back.
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: It's probably not just food either.
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: Jody coming with the heat I likely, right, Yeah, I
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: like that analysis.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: I do too, all right seven oh one two eight
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: zero one nine eight seven. If you want to chime
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: in this morning, is Ellie the problem for being a
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: little upset. Her friend dove on into her plate of
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: food with Big ninety eight point seven, and we liked
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: starting the show off on a positive notes. Some little
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: victories just giving each other, giving you a reason to
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: smile and start your date today, Angie, what's your little
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: victory for us today?
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: I showed my boyfriend Mikey the movie Mean Girls yesterday.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: I feel like I quote that movie a lot.
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: It was very like anytime. I'm like, I'm not a
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: regular mom, I'm a cool mom.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: Like I think he just thought that. I just say
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: that because I feel that way.
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: You've never seen me.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: You had never seen me.
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: So we watched it yesterday. We ate some Blaze pizza
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: and watched Mean Girls. And he was like, oh, this
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: is very much your humor. And I'm like, yes, mean
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: Girls is my personality. But it was really nice and
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: he enjoyed the movie. So because that could have been
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: grounds for a breakup if he didn't like Mean Girls.
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: Oh, I'm sure he real threatened that.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but that was why It's silly.
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: But that my little victory.
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: I think it is cool. I don't want to blow paths.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: I think that is cool and there's something you enjoy
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: and it's kind of, you know, not a part of
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: who you are by any means.
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: No, it definitely is. I've been trying to make fetch
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: happen ever since.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: That's really cool. That's that's a fun little victory for sure.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: Thank you, GiB my little victory. Despite this being my
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: least least favorite chore in the history of life. I
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: knew my wife had one of her long days at
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: work yesterday and I was trying to be hubby of
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: the year. I emptied the cat litter boxes.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: And you have like four cats or something, right.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: There's a few, but we uh, I emptied the litter boxes.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: And I hate doing the scooping. I don't mind if
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: when it's we change the litter completely, you just empty
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: it and then throw it away and refill it. But
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: when you're just like kind of scooping out to get
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: rid of the stuff that's in there, I hate it.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: I have like kind of a weak stomach. That's it
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: makes me want to vomit or whatever.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: And you still did it and I.
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: Was able to get through it yesterday. Gabe, you are
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: hobby of the day.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: Crushed it.
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: At least for an hour. Yeah, I want to know.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: Have you ever had to look someone in the eye
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: and go, you know what? I was wrong? I'm sorry.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: When's the last time you admitted that you were wrong?
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: Seven oh one two eight zero eight seven.
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: I admit when I'm wrong. I just don't give eye
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: contact when I do it because I feel ashamed. Okay,
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: what about you, Gabe? I feel like, why are you
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: asking me what happened? Gabe?
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: Well, so what I will say is I am I
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: am not one of those people. I'm not worried to
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: be like wrong. Okay, I'm wrong all the time. Oh,
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: I like time.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: I love a self aware man.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: But there was one time, very recently, my wife Corey
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: and I we were putting together this tent in the backyard,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: not for any reason, but we're gonna do some.
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: Camping this summer.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: And it was just one of those let's put it together,
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: you know, kind of get it broken in, stretched out
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: a little bit, and just let it sit in the
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: backyard and then we'll take it down, and you know,
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: we know what to do. And we are out in
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: the wilderness trying to survive. Yes, put it together. We
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: were putting this thing together, and I did do kind
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: of the typical, the stereotypical dude thing of like, I
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: don't need directions.
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: How hard is it to put a tent together?
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: My god? Why why do you guys be that way?
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: I am not, you know, I don't know.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: I just assumed I could figure it out, and everything
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: was fine until it came time to putting. I don't
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: know what you want to call it, but like the
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: roof or the rain catch or whatever. Okay, the thing
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: that goes over it to stop the rain from getting in, right, yeah.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: And I was like, I don't I'm fine, We're putting
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: it together, YadA YadA, YadA lo. And I had no
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: clue what I was doing. We had to basically restart
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: from the beginning.
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: Yab, I would be so mad at you. What did
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: your wife react like?
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: And she was like, well, no, we need to do this,
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: and I was like, there's no way, that's what we
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: have to do. So of course I keep ho humming
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: along doing it my way, and it turned out my
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: way was very wrong, so I had to do the
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: old Sorry, honey, I was wrong.
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: You're right, You're smart, I'm yeah, you know. And I
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: wanted to know, is there anyone else.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: Who if you're a lady and you've been trying to
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: put together a tent with your hubby and he.
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: Didn't need directions, that's so much need a direction.
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: Why don't you guys read directions? You know what I
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: saw you ask this on the big ninety points.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: I'm on Facebook page.
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: I'm really I like all these answers are basically I'm married,
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: so I have to say every day that I'm.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: Wrong, and it's from the fellas. It's the fellas at
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: least they know.
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I want to know. Is there a lady who's
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: ever been wrong in her life?
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: No?
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: Okay, no, no.
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: All right, fair enough, all right.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: In the world of comic book shops, there is something
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: called a store variant. That is when a comic book brand,
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: and we're talking you know, the big ones, d C
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: or Marvel or whoever you know, they offer a chance
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: to sell a limited run comic book with a cover
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: that is exclusive to that store.
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: Oh that's cool now.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: I believe his name is either rich or Rick rich
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: or Rick Early, who is the owner of Fargo's Paradox
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: Comics and Cards. He's never had a store variant before,
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: and it wouldn't be Gabe's good News of the day
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: if he didn't get one until now, That is, until recently,
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: when he hired Fargo graphic artist and illustrator Troy Becker
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: to create a cover for Special Archie Comics, a comic
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: book written by Kevin Smith, who wrote and directed and
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: produced a movie you maybe heard of called Clerks.
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: Yes Obsessed with Kevin Smith. He's also responsible for Degrassi.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: Yes, and the characters of Jay and Silent Body. If
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: you likely heard, they were really a big deal in
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: a recent if you have a boyfriend or maybe you
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: play you know, you're a lady and you play. But
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: they were recently featured in Call of Duty. Yeah, so
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: they really have made a big, I don't know, kind
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: of push on the mainstream as opposed to being this
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: kind of unique, quirky kind of thing.
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: Well.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: Becker, who does the illustration for the Forum, has done
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: projects for Rick or Rich before in his comic book
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: store in the past. When when Rick asked Becker to
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: come up with a cover for the Smith Penn comic book,
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: he accepted the challenge. He said, I've always been a
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: fan of Kevin Smith, noting that he early offered several
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: possible covers to people at the Archie Comic Books before
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: getting the thumbs up.
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: The hover that was approved.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: Features Jay and Silent Bob hanging out on a store
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: rooftop with three residents of the fictional town of Riverdale,
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: and what they're doing is holding hockey sticks. In the movie,
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: the clerks play hockey on top of this convenience store. Right.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: I love this, And obviously the hockey is a big
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: tie to the fm area. I mean, we just had
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: the Morehead Spuds in the state championship winning the state championship.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: Hockey's just so beloved here and it's just very very
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: cool now, a lot of that one percent ironerstand. It's
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: a little bit confusing, and if you're not into comics,
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: it might be hard to really grasp. But it's still
• 14:38
