0:00
I feel like you probably have a song that you just hate. Right you
0:02
hear it, it's immediate tune out, turn off, run to the next
0:06
room, because you just cannot stand the song for whatever reason. And so
0:09
I found the list of, actually, Amanda, the most hated songs of
0:12
all time, and this is research, this is actual study, so you
0:15
can't really argue. And I got the top five most hated songs. Ever,
0:18
we'll get you in a second. If you want to add your most
0:20
hated song seven oh one two, eight h one ninety eight seven, you
0:23
can call us or you can text us. Is there one that you particularly
0:26
despise. We toss us up on Facebook and there's quite a few people who
0:30
agree with me. But I apologize to our top fan, Sherry and Heather.
0:34
They love this song and every time I hear just play it, it's
0:38
so cringe. Oh gosh, oh my god, you're kidding. This is
0:41
the worst song in America. I'm sorry, did you say musical masterpiece?
0:46
I can't. Maybe, okay, you're actually like a child. Actually I
0:53
can't. Just that's not how it's I can't. I can't do it.
0:57
Seal has the voice of an angel. There's no disputing that. I don't
1:00
know. No, stop the melodic journey that Seal takes you through in the
1:06
five minutes of Kiss from a Rose, It's unlike anything I've ever experienced.
1:10
Yes, I love this song so much. I cannot believe that you hate
1:12
this song the worst. You know. In the day that you could finally
1:17
download music illegally, it was like a life changing day for me. It
1:19
was like the whole world was opened up, and I sat on my computer
1:23
in my mom's living room, and it's like download any song from your childhood,
1:26
you remember. This was literally the first one, the first one I
1:29
wanted stop turning off kids from. And then that music video that went along
1:36
with it, all dark. Yes, no, well that is a terrible
1:41
selection. I'm sorry sorry this one though, This isn't actually a bad song.
1:45
And I feel bad because we probably do play it on this radio station.
1:48
But who would I be if I weren't, honest, ladies and gentlemen,
1:51
the worst song ever, because you know, I'm all of noble.
1:57
I just can't. I can't. And I think Making Time, even Making
2:01
Trainer probably knows that it's like cheesy and whatnot, but it's not even that.
2:06
And it's supposed to be this like body positivity song, you know,
2:08
and I'm all about it. But in being you know, body positive,
2:13
do you need to shame skinny people or skinny girls? You know what I
2:15
mean? See you're into the lyrics of that one or is it that?
2:19
Trust me? I'm not not. No, It's just it's just stupid wedding
2:24
dances get real anyway, So you don't you don't like when the bride comes
2:29
out, I'm all about that, bace about that, you know, I
2:31
don't. And then the husband's like, no treble, I'm kidding, that'd
2:35
be so good. That sounds like that's some choreographed to night. I know.
2:38
I kind of love it. Well, the top five according to the
2:40
survey this research that was done, the top five most hated songs of all
2:44
time, Number five. I guess I could see back in the day this
2:51
was overplayed annoying, But now I hear it and I get giddy. So
2:53
I just went to see Nickelback. We've I mean, I don't know about
2:57
you all, but I've come full circle on Nickelback. Yeah, I went
2:59
through that face. It's like everybody of it was cool. They hate Nickelback
3:01
because they were, it was overplayed. This whole album was on the radio
3:05
for three years. This is how eventually people might feel about Taylor Swift if
3:08
she takes a break. I think she did make the list on Facebook a
3:13
few times. Yeah, well, you know, it's just just like anything.
3:15
If you're overexposed to it, you're probably gonna learn to hate it.
3:17
Yep, Number foe most hate it song ever. Oh god, I mean,
3:24
where does this take you back? Because I bet it's you and I
3:27
on the same page. What does this remind you of? Well, I
3:30
mean when this radio station started, Yeah, twenty thirteen, which would have
3:34
been when this was huge. So it takes me back to the year we
3:37
launched the station and it's this is which is also frightening that that's nostalgic for
3:42
ten years ago. Yeah, I know, it's kind of icky song.
3:45
And they got in trouble with the on the music video set. That girl's
3:49
like famous, yeah yeah, Emily Radakowski, Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
3:51
she's date doing her thing. Yeah, very attractive for the record,
3:55
all right, number three and forgot Oh gosh, yeah, come on wait
4:00
did you come from? Wait? Did you go wait? Did you come
4:02
from? Anybody start dancing. My husband is the guy who's on the dance
4:08
floor at wedding parties with this and just danced out. What do you mean?
4:11
He's the one. Literally everybody, even people who can't dance. This
4:15
is like the invite. All right, you losers who have no rhythm,
4:17
come on out. Okay, so you're you're dissing all about the bass,
4:21
but you're good with Cotton Eye Joe. Yeah, I'm good with Cote Joe.
4:25
Okay, let me guess. Next album, the Maccarina, come on
4:29
all right, next up on the list. Yeah, beautiful, yea.
4:35
This takes me back to American Idol days and I love this song. I
4:41
listened to so much in high school, every burnt CD I had thrown James
4:45
Blunt on there. Oh I don't even wonder, right James. I mean,
4:49
like I know, he's like done soad. He's got plenty of other
4:51
music, but no other big hits, that's for sure, not like that.
4:55
When anyway, can you hit that one more time? I need that
4:58
today. I would love to play from the beginning, I mean the journey
5:01
he takes you on where he sees the woman on the subway, the subway.
5:06
Yeah, beautiful Yeah, BEAUTI I like this beautiful. Number two.
5:15
I'm sorry it was number three. I missed bound, I misspoke, okay,
5:16
number three. Number two, though, I think we can all very
5:19
much agree on just shud it now, I mean, just turn it off.
5:29
While a certified piece of garbage, isn't it also brilliant? You know
5:33
what I mean? To create something so so bad it's almost a work of
5:36
art. I feel like that's what this is. No. No, and
5:42
then the look like if you see the music video, you almost have to
5:44
wonder if it was on purpose. You know she is. She may be
5:47
way smarter than all of us and just wanted to create this viral thing.
5:49
No, she makes me want to hate Friday, and trust me, I
5:54
love Friday. Nobody's t G. I have more than this guy. Okay,
6:00
all right, the number one most hated song of all time. I
6:01
hope that we all agree. You have a guest, you at least have
6:04
an artist you think it might be. Yeah, he told you a seal
6:06
kiss from a rose. Well it's not spoiler, but it is I believe
6:13
widely hated. It's not the Macarena, Oh Barbie girl, it's America's sweetheart.
6:20
Never die O stop it. Yeah, justin Bieber baby. Is it
6:28
because of his haircut? I mean, this is a good song. No,
6:32
so they say this might be the best song he ever sang. That
6:38
is not true. Okay, maybe what's your favorite Bieber song? What do
6:42
you mean? I mean just a sorry? No, you're gonna say no
6:46
to everything. No, he had a ton of like that. That whole
6:48
album was brilliant. Okay, you're gonna act like his best song is when
6:51
he was four years old. Yeah, actually I feel like you're the problem.
6:57
No, really, all about the bass? Okay, all right?
7:00
Can this is interesting? I enjoyed a couple things looking for a new co
7:03
host and also, if you want to add your most hated song seven Amanda
7:09
in the Morning, Big ninety eight point seven Amanda Stills the Sea. Let's
7:13
see brought to buy Valley Service Mechanical. All right, Well, Time magazine
7:18
announced it's Person of the Year, Person of the best person, uh huh
7:23
of this whole entire year. Oh my god, who is it? Taylor
7:28
Swift? People are already losing their mind. She was also like on the
7:32
Forbes list of the best Female of the Year, so she's blowing up the
7:36
internet right now. And people, of course have a lot to say about
7:40
it, but especially with Time Magazine having an entertainer, this is very unusual
7:44
a ninety six years Time has never had an entertainer at all. Really,
7:49
yes, well, who do they have doing? Like Gandhi? I mean,
7:53
Gandhi can only win so many times? Right, Well, for instance,
7:56
Bono was on there back in two thousand and five, but it was
7:58
with a group of philanthropists. How long has Gandhi been dead? He's one
8:01
of those guys where like, I don't was it twenty years ago or two
8:05
thousand years ago? I have no idea. We just still talk about him
8:07
as though he still hanging around. Well, she sat down for an interview
8:13
and this was the first time she's opening up about everything we've been talking about.
8:16
You know, Travis Kelsey has his podcast, so he gets to dish
8:20
every week. Well, she sat down for her interview with Time Magazine and
8:24
oh my god, I am giddy. She said, this is the proudest
8:26
and happiest I've ever felt, and the most creatively fulfilled and free I've ever
8:31
been. This all started when Travis very adorably put me on blast on his
8:37
podcast. This is how they got together which I thought was metal as hell.
8:41
Metal as hell. That's ah, that doesn't feel authentic, but okay,
8:46
because we don't really know what Taylor Swift sounds and talks like. Really,
8:50
well, that's what I'm saying. It always seems very like she's putting
8:52
on this act, right, so maybe that's how she talks in private,
8:56
which is great that she's finally being herself being herself. We started hanging out
9:00
right after that, so we actually had a significant amount of time that no
9:03
one knew, which I'm grateful for because we really got to know each other.
9:05
By the time I went to the first game, we were a couple.
9:09
I think some people thought that they saw us on our first date at
9:11
that game. We would never be psychotic enough to hard launch a first date.
9:16
When you say a relationship is public, that means I'm going to go
9:18
see him do what he loves. We're showing up for each other. Other
9:22
people are there, and we don't care. The opposite of that is that
9:24
we're gonna have an extreme amount of effort that we're going to have to put
9:28
into it to make sure that no one knows that we're seeing each other.
9:31
And we're just proud of each other. I don't know how they know when
9:35
I'm in the suite or what sweet I'm in In reference to her showing up
9:39
to the games, so I don't know if I've been shown seventeen times or
9:41
once. I'm just there to support Travis. I have no awareness of if
9:46
I'm being shown too much. And Taylor Swift everybody pissing off a few dads,
9:54
brads and chats. That's so true. That's exactly who's upset. The
9:58
dad's a brad and the chance just about died when I read that, because
10:03
that is so something you don't expect Taylor to say. First of all,
10:07
I'm ready for the T shirt, like this is the thing now, dad's
10:09
brads and chants. That answers a lot of questions. And you weren't here
10:13
the other day when James and I were speculating that if they were to have
10:16
just like the first time they kind of got together was at the game or
10:18
whatever, and we all publicly saw it, there would be a part of
10:22
me that felt like she was now just staying with him longer than she maybe
10:24
would have initially, just because of the obsession from everybody. Yeah, no,
10:28
this is real. But if it's been going on much before that.
10:31
Then Okay, I feel better about that. Yeah good, I mean you
10:35
were really did kind of think that it was like, oh I got an
10:37
invite, I'm showing up, I'm hanging out with mom, and then that's
10:39
it. It was a theory, you know. I thought maybe she was
10:41
just looking for a good time. That's good. I mean, of all
10:45
the things, to be the best person is really would be the top,
10:48
wouldn't you think? Yeah, person of the year. Wow. I mean
10:56
like you know, we won, you know what I mean, like we
10:58
won best law radio show right with the Fargo Form, which was great,
11:03
absolutely, But to be best person just a solo person, yeah, I
11:09
hear you. Britney Spears. Yesterday all the tabloids were saying over and over
11:13
again that she was going to reconcile with her dad. Now, if you're
11:16
not following along, her dad had a knee replacement earlier this year. Then
11:20
there was a word that maybe he was on his deathbed. He had a
11:24
serious infection. His daughter Jamie Lynn took him in and I guess last week
11:28
he had his leg amputated. Oh no, yeah, so he is not
11:31
doing well. And I also heard that maybe he is like drinking again.
11:37
He was in some sort of rehab. I'm not sure, But what I
11:39
do know is that Britney Spears is not reconciling with her dad. She's not
11:43
going to be sending him any money anytime soon. Those really close to her
11:46
say, she's just not going to forgive him for the abuse and trauma she's
11:50
gone through, and that's her decision. I know a lot of people are
11:52
going to say, oh, you know, it's life's too short, just
11:54
reconcile, make amends. It's much more complicated than that, obviously, after
12:00
years and years. I mean, you hate to see a guy lose a
12:03
leg, for sure, But even so, would you reconcile in that situation?
12:09
I would have a really, really, really tough time thirteen years and
12:13
you did that to me. I know, what if you had the other
12:16
leg amputated? Just trying to see where you draw the line here, Yeah,
12:20
no, I think even then, I think if he is on his
12:22
deathbed, both arms stop where you're in general, Like, if I know
12:26
that he's on his deathbed, I'm probably going to have like words like I'd
12:31
want to have that conversation of well for you too, you really hurt me.
12:35
Of course I love you, but I need you to up, like
12:39
I need you to apologize to me, Like right, T get a minute
12:43
in the morning. Seven. You remember growing up going to a friend's house
12:46
and just like realizing how different people's lives can be in other home because as
12:50
a kid, all you know is what you got going on in your own
12:54
house. So you go over to somebody and you know, maybe it's like
12:56
you don't ever eat at the dinner table, right, I don't know what
12:58
your family he does, Like if you're just a couch family, and then
13:01
all of a sudden you're sitting around a table with a bunch of strangers,
13:03
folding your hand saying a prayer before a meal. It's like what that?
13:07
Or like having to be excused before you're like done and everybody sitting there.
13:11
Yeah, there's a lot of different things. A lot of people online were
13:13
sharing the weird house rules they experienced as kids when they went over to friend's
13:18
house. I always felt like people felt weird at our house because it was
13:20
like you take your shoes off at the door, even if you had dirty
13:24
socks. Like I remember one of my like one time, my mom's like
13:26
your pants are dirty? Can you roll them up to a friend and you're
13:30
like, oh boy, they were rocking Django's ohim pants. Man, my
13:37
dad hated those pants so much. I had have like secret pants that I
13:41
would wear, like when we'd go to our mom's house because you know or
13:43
whatever. Yeah, as soon as I get to school, I'd change pants.
13:48
What a double life I was living. Somebody wrote in said that when
13:50
they went to a friend's house, there was four siblings and they all had
13:54
to take a bath at night. And that's the other weird thing you ever
13:56
take a bath at a friend's house. Not only did they ought to take
13:58
baths, they had a rule at the house that you had to save bathwater
14:03
to reuse the family bathroom. Oh no, who gets DIBs on the first
14:07
tub? I mean, I guess it depends on where you lived and if
14:11
the water was hot or not. But and that water gets cold quick.
14:15
And I think some days after my kids are out of the bathtub, it's
14:18
like, oh yeah, a kid's bathroom. Somebody would pop back in that
14:24
wow dances, there's a little number one in there. Probably good. Even
14:26
adults, I feel like, are a little irresponsible when it comes to out
14:30
kids. They have no filter. There's let them fly. By the end
14:33
of that bath water is half urine. I mean, come on, let's
14:37
be real. We're starting to hit the shower stage with our kids a little
14:39
Like they like to play in the bats, but they're ready to like take
14:41
a shower. I'm like, okay, good, that's very except for I
14:45
feel like it lasts a lot longer, Like they want to just hang out
14:46
and they're like, oh, this is so nice. What can you get
14:50
out? The hard thing about the shower. I remember this transition because you
14:52
still want to be able to play with your toys and it's hard to do
14:54
in the showers. I remember like sitting in the shower, that's what they're
14:58
doing. It was like, okay, can we t in the wad?
15:00
Well, no, then you're gonna get cold. I get it, but
15:01
come on, that's funny. So if you have a weird house, you
15:05
can remember of going to a friend's house when you were younger seven oh one,
15:07
two, eight oh one, ninety eight seven. You know, I
15:09
feel like I was the weird house. I feel like that's why I didn't
15:13
want people to come over. So my parents were also divorced, and I
15:15
remember when my brother would come to the house and we both were only children,
15:20
and then all of a sudden, our lives glided and we were growing
15:24
up together, and there were rules all of a sudden, like my family
15:28
changed the rules, so like Shasta, I remember, oh god, the
15:31
good old Shasta, and then the Schwan's Man would come to our house,
15:35
so I remember drinking endless strawberry Kiwi shastas, like my mom didn't care.
15:39
But then when we get my brother was around, was like only one and
15:45
then you get the we'd have the strawberry popsicles from the schwans Man and you'd
15:48
only get one real strawberry. You could just have one of those bad boys.
15:54
So it was always funny how the rules kind of changed in general.
15:56
But ye, I know, moderation for the third come and Amanda in the
16:02
morning on Big seven. You feel like you're actually an adult? Really?
16:08
Yeah, you do, absolutely well. I mean you got kids, okay,
16:12
because I feel like that's got to be the thing, right, you
16:15
know, they did a whole study Americans don't feel like they're actually an adult
16:19
until they're nearly thirty years old. That's sort of the mark. As soon
16:22
as you have kids, though, Pike, even this weekend with my husband
16:26
out of town, just knowing like I am in charge of breakfast, lunch,
16:30
dinner, snacks, dishes, laundry, like there is nobody to put
16:33
that on. And even little things like you can't just come home and you're
16:37
like, oh, I'm just gonna you know, I'm gonna have a little
16:41
Mama juice and a couple cheese and crackers. That's honest, juice, a
16:45
little red wine. Oh sure. I mean that's just like all of the
16:48
things ready to go for the kids. And I'll show you remember pre kids,
16:52
thinking that things were tough, for thinking that you were busy or you
16:56
know what I mean. You mean thinking I had it together when I didn't.
17:00
Yeah, I don't know if you remember think of that. There's things
17:03
about being an adult though. I mean, first one, I remember when
17:06
you get out of high school and you know, you feel like you're a
17:07
big boy. When you go out to college and you're staying at your own
17:11
place, that's a big one. Yeah, it's like, man, I'm
17:12
just in charge. Well, like the first time you have to pay rent
17:15
or you have something that's late, it's like, oh man, that's that's
17:18
on me to a while to figure that one out. For a bit there,
17:22
I felt like, you know, I'll just pay it when I feel
17:23
like it, and it piles up. That's not a good idea. And
17:26
then you know, then the movie store that you didn't return the movie to
17:29
close is permanently looking at you cash wise video. And then suddenly you have
17:33
a collection and your credit's core is garbage because you don't have an established credit
17:37
history anyway. I will tell you one of the moments that my husband and
17:41
I reflect on that we remember being like, well, we're adult big time
17:45
here. When we built a house together. Yeah, and I didn't know
17:48
you were so good with the hammer. I know. I mean we were
17:52
there just nailing it down. No, but like, but I remember us
17:56
going, do we just like we did we just buy a I was like,
18:00
we're building this together. That was gonna be exciting at the moment.
18:03
No. Absolutely, there are little things about being an adult that people actually
18:06
enjoy, you know, like shopping for groceries. Sixty five percent of adults
18:10
admit that that's actually an adult thing they enjoy doing. Really, Oh,
18:12
it's the worst thing in the world. Do me. I do all of
18:15
it, and even locally, I shop local, but I do it all
18:18
online. Like I I cannot stand going into the grocery store. It drives
18:23
me crazy. I have no sense of like I just like grab and buy.
18:26
It's like no, if I do it online, I'm like, this
18:29
is exactly what I mean. Yeah, it was supposed to be go hungry.
18:30
Oh that's the worst. Yes, yeah, yeah, but then people
18:33
just don't know how to act in a grocery store. So that's part of
18:36
the problem. Balancing their budget. Another thing adults over sixty percent of people
18:40
enjoy doing. And that's what I do find very enjoyable. I don't know
18:44
it's therapeutic. It's just like something I've really learned to enjoy. I got
18:48
I got a whole spreadsheet, you know, constantly just like ah, we
18:51
spend this much, yere, we do this much here, we got this
18:52
much for that to redo ours because I had it when we had built our
18:57
house and went through everything. And now we've added different things like proboy you
19:02
need that tighten the belt a little, and it does help. I mean,
19:04
it's amazing once you realize like how much you're spending in certain places,
19:07
and that is a lot of years of just not paying attention whatsoever. Just
19:12
yeah, money goes in, money goes out, not paying attention at all.
19:15
What about doing dishes? Somehow some people enjoy that. I mean,
19:21
I do them, but it's not bringing joy to me. I guess the
19:25
joy to me is like when they're all put away or they're in the dishwasher,
19:29
like there's never a dish in our saying when I come home or anyonehen
19:30
I open up the dishwasher to put some dirty dish in there, and it's
19:33
empty. Just the dish fairy got to it. I just go, wow,
19:38
I love this. My favorite thing. I think the single best thing
19:41
when I got to college and I realized, like wow, I'm an adult
19:45
is the realization that you can just eat whatever you want. And this is
19:48
probably not the healthiest thing, but just you know what I mean, nobody
19:51
can tell you, no, nobody can tell you that, oh we have
19:52
food at home, you could just eat out seven times a day, you
19:56
know what I mean? I mean, Yeah, I got I gonna get
20:00
giddy talking about don't you feel that way? Like today? If you and
20:03
I wanted to go to who hat we could that to me, that's the
20:07
fact that this is where your head's at That's hilarious. Always where my head's
20:11
at every single day. You could eat out, Yeah, I could go
20:14
get fries at McDonald's, go get a roast beef at Rby's. Just make
20:17
an old day, finish off with dessert at the DQ. What time are
20:21
you hitting the gym? Brow, I'm just kidding. That's the other thing
20:22
I don't have to work out either, Like get a meda in the morning
20:29
on Big Nutty eight point seven trending. Now here's what you need to know.
20:33
Well, yesterday I needed steep percent approval, and that ballot measure for
20:37
that one hundred and forty million dollar Fargodome expansion and convention center failed to pass.
20:44
Just under fifty two percent of people voted yes almost, which is a
20:48
bummer because for those of you who are falling along with it, it's kind
20:52
of now dead in the water. I mean it was a special election,
20:55
and I mean not entirely. I mean obviously it's not like they're not allowed
20:59
to ever make an improvement to the Fargodome again because it failed, Like you
21:03
know, something could happen down the road, but just at this time.
21:04
So just a bummer. I was really excited after looking at those renderings,
21:08
I'm like, hush, yeah, it would be nice. I'd had that
21:11
New Fargo Doome smell. I bet sure did. And the Bison they're going,
21:18
sorry, don't apologize. I bet there's people just chuckling right now,
21:25
going, I don't know if that there is what. I bet there's people
21:27
right now going, man, I wonder what that I mean, the New
21:30
Fargo Doome smell, because when I think of the Fargo Doome smell, I'm
21:33
thinking of the the Olmens, like the shirt, oh, the Bavarian almos.
21:37
Yes, so that was what That's where my uh popcorn, that's where
21:41
my sniffer went. Yeah, yeah, they should make that an air freshener
21:45
new Fargo Doome scent. All right. So the Bison they're headed to South
21:48
Dakota on Saturday, and there were a lot of Bison fans right after the
21:52
Montana game they were getting their tickets. Well, a lot of people found
21:56
out about the keyword. It was called all you had to do was put
21:59
in plays to get these tickets for the game. And these were only supposed
22:03
to be for season ticket holders and boosters for USD, but they used the
22:08
keyword and they got in well, yesterday, I guess somebody at their ticket
22:12
office was going through and the like not a ticket holder, not a part
22:15
of the boosters, and booting all of these Bison fans out. So they
22:19
got a refund for their tickets. But now the tickets are sold out,
22:22
so they couldn't get tickets to the game, and the people who are hoking
22:26
these tickets are putting them up for like two hundred and twenty four dollars.
22:30
Yeah, well, they're obviously desperate. You know, they need every advantage
22:33
they can get to beat the buys, and so I guess they want to
22:36
play dirty. We'll play dirty. Didn't we lose to them though? Well
22:38
yeah, but we weren't playing as good as we are now. Well course,
22:41
holiday just curious. I'm making sure i'm getting myself. Dakota's right,
22:45
and where we're at. I think I think they lost to both of them,
22:48
right, I think we're zero and too in South Dakota, But I'm
22:51
not not. After Saturday, you know, they say it's hard to beat
22:55
the Boyson twice field, saying, yep, weatherwise, it's going to beautifl
23:00
today, sunny, high of about fifty three. And if you have not
23:03
put your Christmas lights up. You probably could go ahead and do that the
23:06
next couple of days. In fact, it's about four hundred dollars worth of
23:10
lights that the average home is putting up outside of their home every year.
23:15
That's asinine. I don't think that is really happening. I would think now
23:18
with because it's probably a lot easier to do the blow ups and the inflatables.
23:22
We have a lot of those in our neighborhood this year. Yeah,
23:25
this is easy and easy to take down. You have to get up on
23:26
a room, That's what I'm saying. Many injuries a year from Dad's going
23:30
up on the roof trying to hang the lights up. Probably quite a few.
23:33
Probably, Yes, in fact, i'd say staggering. Yeah, you
23:36
know what I mean. I don't care to put them outside, mainly because
23:40
we don't get to really enjoy them. And I know they're for other people
23:42
because in the mornings, I love being able to go to work and see
23:45
in the Christmas life. That's the best. Yeah, And that's why I
23:48
love, like, you know, the banks and stuff which just make these
23:52
giant displays. Yeah, happy here he is they have all their lights up
23:55
on there. I love that Sanford Hospital. Incredible. So thank you for
23:59
everybody for the work you do. Where you live. They have like ornaments
24:03
out like a really cool area that you could go and take a picture.
24:06
Yep, yep. When I picture up from work the other day, I
24:07
noticed that, I'm like, oh yeah, it's a real photo op for
24:11
Instagram. It is. I have to come over some time. What do
24:14
you guys this weekend? Just bring the family over? Adorable all right again,
24:18
the weather is going to be great today and it is winos. Women
24:22
in need of sanity today from Forntel six o'clock. We're going to be over
24:26
at the Grotto forty fifth Street, thirty second Avenue that's right behind here.
24:29
Success. But they have great drink specials. Half priced bottles of wine ninety
24:33
nine cent for those selters, those plum and petals, great food from the
24:36
tavern. It's a blast. Oh it's a good vibe. We'll see you
24:37
there. Whinos like it a minute in the morning on Big Nutty eight point
24:44
seven. Like my step mom is hounding me for a Christmas list. I'm
24:47
like a thousand years old and I still have to write out a Christmas list.
24:49
I love this. She won't let me text her. She's like,
24:52
now you gotta write it down. So I'm trying to make stuff up that
24:55
I want and I can't think of anything. You are always a sock guy.
25:00
You always say if you were to win the lottery, you would get
25:02
socks and you would never wear another paragrapt. She did threaten me, she
25:06
said, if I don't get a Christmas list by this day, you're getting
25:08
whitey tidies, which is a throwback to the child and yeah, you know
25:11
where now you know I don't, Amanda, I don't wear a lot of
25:15
whitey tidies. That would be that would be nice, pines. I prefer
25:21
my under to be a darker tint. Yeah, little Joe Boxers. What
25:25
is it that your kids want for Christmas? You can sure let Santa no
25:29
directly. Actually, we have the Santa hotline set up. We have a
25:32
deal with Santa in the North Pole, and so you call seven oh one
25:34
four nine nine six nine zero three you'll hear Santa Claus himself. He leaves
25:37
the voicemail and then it beeps, and kids just let Santa know what they
25:41
want. Like this kid, I want a toy cat, a toy cat
25:47
that is adorable and me as a parent, because you know, a toy
25:52
one is a great start. Yeah, they don't poop and peet exactly,
25:55
That's just it. And then this one, Hi, Sandra, this is
25:59
Kai Christmas. I want a sweater for my doll Connor. Good sweater for
26:06
a little doll Connor. How selfless you know, not for her, but
26:10
for her doll Connor? And what a weird name for a doll? Why
26:14
did you ever name your kid your doll's anything weird? I don't remember having
26:18
dolls like I don't. I don't you get a weird childhood from what I
26:21
gathered. I don't think I had a cabbage patch doll. Really tell me
26:23
you at least had beanie babies few, not over that you didn't have the
26:27
garbage sack full like every other kid, Colley pockets, that kind of thing.
26:30
Don't tell In nineteen ninety seven was insufferable because it was just like,
26:34
see you as the most beanie babies, and I was in there with one.
26:38
Oh, I had one. It wasn't a doll. It was a
26:41
reindeer, like a stuffed reindeer. Cute, but we used it was a
26:44
year round reindeer and we named him or I named him Reindeer creative, like
26:48
I'm still in the bed when I go home. Is it really, oh,
26:52
Pius, I mean it's just another pillow, you know. No,
26:56
I love that. Yeah, yeah, Well seven on one four zero three.
27:00
Get your kids to give the Santa Claus hotline a call and you might
27:02
even hear them on this radio show. If that's something you would actually like,
27:07
maybe you tell your step mom for Christmas, you want Reindeer back,
27:11
and then you could bring Reindeer to your house and edit to I like that
27:15
old Fraindier has a place in our home. It's just more of a nostalgic
27:18
thing when I go home. And not to mention, I threw up on
27:22
him once and so now is furs all mad it up because we had to
27:23
wash him. Yeah, yeah, that's a tough one, a tough look.
27:26
But it'll happen. Like it a minute in the morning, big Nutty
27:30
eight point seven. We try to do it anyway. We try to get
27:34
people out of that friend zone, especially this time of year. You know,
27:37
it's a season of love. So this guy hit us up about a
27:41
friend he has. His name is Jason, and he's here on the phone.
27:45
Good morning, Jason, how you doing. Hey, I'm doing pretty
27:48
good. Well. I hoping you're going to be doing a whole lot better
27:51
by the time this phone calls over. Yeah, that's what I'm hoping for
27:53
too. That is the goal is always with our friend zone. All right,
27:57
So tell us about Ashley. Is the girl's name, right, Ashley
28:00
is her name. We have been really good friends for a while now,
28:07
some years, So you would say you are pretty at this point anyway,
28:10
you're pretty firmly in the friend zone. You know. I would like to
28:14
think I'm not. Oh, but I think that's what we're going to have
28:18
to find out. I think I've been pretty clear about my feelings for her.
28:25
How is she reciprocated those feelings? She you know, she giggles and
28:30
laughs and felt like maybe she didn't think I really felt the way I felt
28:37
because she was in a relationship, and of course I wouldn't push those boundaries,
28:41
and uh yeah, yeah. But she's been single for some time now,
28:47
and so I have this holiday party coming up, and I think that
28:51
if I can ask her to the holiday party and we can go be married
28:56
together. And there you got, all right, So you think you think
29:02
it, you'd be like Ashley to be your little plus one to this part.
29:04
Now, is this like a company party? Is this a friend get
29:07
together? Yeah? No, it's the company party. Oh boy, introducing
29:11
to the coworkers to that. That's a big step, dude, but we're
29:12
willing to give it a try. So here's how this works. We're gonna
29:15
put you on hold. You hang quiet, you'll be able to hear everything.
29:18
But we're gonna talk to Ashley, hopefully get her side of it,
29:22
see how she feels, if she's willing to share that information, and then
29:26
ideally this thing's gonna end with a little invite to the holiday party, I
29:30
hope. So yeah, all right, Hello, good morning. Is this
29:37
Ashley by chance? Yeah? Yeah, Ashley. You don't know us,
29:42
or maybe you don't. Hey, Bike and Amanda. In the morning,
29:45
we do a local radio show here in Fargo on Big ninety eight point seven.
29:49
Oh yeah, I listen to you guys. Hi, how are you
29:52
good? I appreciate that. Thank you? We do, uh huh,
29:56
okay, starting to catch you early. I know this is weird, but
30:00
we do have something we want to bring up to you. Because we do
30:02
a little thing on our radio show called the friend Zone. Where people reach
30:06
out to us, they find themselves in well, the friend zone, and
30:08
so we try to get them out of that. So you happen to be
30:11
a part of the one. Today, somebody we know has told us they've
30:15
got a crush on you. Oh god, are you guys? We are
30:22
very serious? Are you single? I guess? But I just feel like,
30:29
is this a prank or something? You can see why you might think
30:34
that any idea? Who that might be? No, honestly, so a's
30:42
a guy that I mean, Amanda, would you this is somebody she's pretty
30:47
close with. I would say, so you've known him for a really long
30:51
time. I might have an idea, but I might I think that I'm
30:56
wrong. Well, let's see you, let's see you throw a name at
31:02
us. If there's somebody that just came to mind who's really close to you
31:06
and you may know that he likes you, Maybe it's that guy? Is
31:10
it? Maybe? Uh? Jason Ding Dan Ashley, You got it?
31:19
It is Jason. Tell us about Jason. Tell us about your relationship with
31:23
this guy, Jason? How you would describe it anyway? Where is my
31:29
best friend? This is such a joke to me? Oh my god?
31:33
Like yeah, Well, he is like just the sweetest but we're just we've
31:38
always just been friends. Nothing. Okay, would you consider dating him?
31:44
Where are we at here? I'm not sure. I guess I just never
31:48
really looked at him like that. I don't know. He's your friend?
31:53
But do you find him attractive? Would you say? O? Good question?
31:59
Yeah? I mean he's cute, good enough? Good enough? Would
32:05
you be interested in hearing what he had to say? I'm sure this crazy
32:10
thing, Ashley. Jason's actually on the phone right now. He has been
32:14
the whole time. Oh gosh, say good morning to Jason. Your friend
32:20
boy's up, Ashley. How are you I I'm good? How are you?
32:30
Okay? I'm good now now that we've got the awkward part out of
32:36
the way, Jason, after hearing all that, is there anything you want
32:38
to say to Ashley? Oh? I think that we should give it a
32:45
shot. And I can make you laugh all the time. You know what,
32:51
you know what we could do if you want? I have the office
32:55
holiday party coming up, and maybe want to be my plus one. You
33:00
know, we can go drink champagne and together we could be married. Right
33:09
there, we go, that's not get married, just be married together.
33:14
I just don't want there to be in a confusion. Oh gosh, yeah,
33:22
okay, I'm down for it. I just want to make sure that
33:27
no matter what goes on, that we just don't run our friendship. Yeah,
33:36
thank you, La la La. Let's get off the radio. Yes,
33:43
you guys, go do your thing, go to the holiday party,
33:46
have fun, see where it goes. Of course, protect the friendship.
33:49
But you know what the heck is this a wind particular. It's a win.
33:52
Guys, Thank you very much. Thank you, and Amanda in the
33:57
morning on sign. You know, all year we'd like to be able to
34:00
give back with our big ninety eight point seven Christmas wish, but especially this
34:04
time of year, Amanda, we like to ramp it up because it's just
34:07
the season of giving for sure. Yes, and we have a very special
34:09
girl we're about to speak to. Her name is Addison and she's only ten
34:14
years old, fifth grade. In a year ago she found out some very
34:17
difficult news and she's been battling ever since. So we have her mom,
34:21
Lindsay on the phone right now. Good morning, Lindsay, how are you
34:23
hello? So we want to chat with you and of course your daughter Addison,
34:28
who we're going to talk to here in a second, but can you
34:30
tell us sort of what your family's gone through over this last year. So
34:35
on Christmas Eve last year, Addison developed a really bad headache and we couldn't
34:39
control it with ivy profin or tylenol, so we decided to bring her in
34:45
to the emergency room at Stanford Hospital in Fargol. They thought, you know
34:49
what, something is off, so they did a scan on Addison and that's
34:52
when our life truly just changed forever. They found a Gulf fall sized mask
34:58
in her. Sarah Beellum and that's just when our journey in this new life
35:02
began. Oh my gosh, So you're coming up on almost a year of
35:06
this just horrific news that you receive and what has gone on over this past
35:09
year. Yeah. So we then got admitted that evening on Christmas Eve at
35:15
Samford Children's Hospital and firego that's when you found out it was on Christmas Eve.
35:20
It was that evening. Yet, Oh so that's good. I mean,
35:22
obviously there's no good day for it, but for Addison, who is
35:27
obviously as a kid, just that just had to be the way we're starving
35:30
for it. Yes, it was definitely challenging in so many ways. So
35:34
then that evening we got admitted to Stamford Children's Hospital and on December twenty sixth
35:39
she had brain surgery to remove the math and so that was, you know,
35:45
a very challenging day just of waiting and hoping and praying. But the
35:51
surgery went well, and we're so thankful for the expert staff at Samford Children's
35:54
Hospital and what they did for Addison and our family. This is really cool
35:59
because Lindsay, you have Addison next to you, who I'm told really wanted
36:02
to be able to share her story and what she's been going through and how
36:06
she's been just battling over this last year. So good morning, Addison.
36:09
How are you? I'm doing good? Oh how old are you Adison?
36:14
I'm ten? Wow? Ten years now. Addison? Have you ever talked
36:16
on the radio before? No, I haven't. Thank you so much for
36:20
having your first time be with us. We're honored to be able to talk
36:22
to you. Could you just kind of tell us how it's been going.
36:25
I think it's been doing good. I've been to a lot of different places,
36:30
like I've been to Stamford, I've been to Mayo. That's a lot
36:34
of going for a little girl. Who what grade are you in? I'm
36:38
what are some of your favorite things to do? I like to figure skate,
36:43
skate, that's a fun one. I tried to get on skates recently
36:45
and it's just, you know, if you guys make it look so easy,
36:49
I always follow on my butt. So what's your dream? Do you
36:52
want to be an Olympic figure skater? What do you what do you hope
36:54
to be? I want to be a nurse. I want to be a
36:57
college here in on call nurse. That is so amazing, And I'm sure
37:01
that's probably because the time you've spent around so many nurses. Yes, oh,
37:06
I'm sure it's become your second home when you're spending so much time with
37:08
all of these nurses and doctors. Yes. Yeah. After we left Mayo,
37:13
then we came back and now she's been doing the rest of her chemo
37:16
therapy treatment at Roger May's Cancer Center and then Stamford Children's Hospitals. Addison is
37:22
continuing on with treatment and we're hopeful maybe at the end of February twenty twenty
37:28
four, she'll be done with her chemotherapy treatment and then we'll move on to
37:32
just doing MRIs for the rest of Addison's life and just continuing doctoring and kind
37:37
of going from there. We can only imagine Mom how hard this has been
37:42
financially on you guys, But ultimately, you know, as a parent,
37:44
you do whatever you can for your kids. I keep thinking from the second
37:46
you told us that last Christmas Eve your life changed, and you're coming up
37:51
on a year, and we just want to make sure that this Christmas is
37:54
extra special for you guys. Through donations throughout the year, we would like
37:58
to give you guys a gift of one thousand dollars. My goodness, thank
38:01
you, Thank you so much. Our family is so grateful. You know,
38:06
a cancer diagnosis is just very financially overwhelming and hard for a family.
38:10
But throughout this whole journey, we've just felt so supported by family, friends,
38:15
co workers, the community. I just feel people have wrapped their arms
38:17
around us. We just truly have not left our side for this whole past
38:22
year. And Addison, have you been feeling all that joy as well?
38:24
Yes, you're such a warrior. You can just hear it in your voice,
38:28
the joy you're bringing to the world and just keep fighting. Okay girl,
38:30
Thank you, Yes, thank you You're such a strong girl. Do
38:34
you have anything you want to say to everybody listening to you and your story.
38:37
Thank you for supporting our family.
