Personalized License Plates · Podcast - Big 98.7

You know, it's really hard to have a personalized license plate that doesn't just
0:03
come across as cheesy or stupid to everyone else because you know what it means.
0:07
And even if you figure it out, you only get seven letters to
0:09
make something clever. It's hard, right. Have you ever seen a good
0:12
personalized license plate? No? I Usually if I see anything, I'm like,
0:15
oh boy, Or you drive by me, You're like, yeah,
0:17
that's totally your plate. Nothing really sticks out. One that I see and
0:22
people will message me is a big Mama. There's somebody who has a big
0:25
Mama on around town. And that was what I like my pet name I
0:28
guess from my mom lovingly, and I'm like, yeah, that's cute.
0:30
But other than that, no, And I also don't really pay attention.
0:34
I was notified that somebody on Facebook this was a post. And there's like
0:38
a Facebook group called Insanity of Fargo Moorhead, Okay, which I'm now a
0:42
proud member of. Nice wait. And there was a plate, a North
0:46
to Go to plate in Fargo that said b l n K one eight two
0:50
OO, which a man of course, that is of course Blank one eighty
0:54
two, my favorite band of all time. So everybody thinks, of course,
0:57
this is you driving around. So somebody tagged me in it and said
0:59
is this you? And it's a funny story. I mean, no,
1:02
it's not me. I wish it was. But I actually know who had
1:04
that exact license plate before. Whoever's driving now. His name is Luke.
1:08
He's in my band Low Standards. You heard of him? I have,
1:11
yeah, so wells. He also, much like me, is like swifty
1:15
level obsessed with Blank one eighty two. And so he had that plate and
1:19
what did they call you, guys, Blinky's. We don't really have a
1:21
name like that. I know there's not a name, but I know that
1:23
it's not Blanky's. I'm calling you blink but continue. So when he moved
1:29
over to Minnesota, he got rid of his North Dakota Blank one eighty two
1:32
plate, and so when he went to a show, a Blank one eighty
1:34
two show in Minneapolis, he did the meet and greet, paid a bunch
1:36
of money to meet the band before Wow, and so he wanted to gift
1:38
the bass player, Mark Coppis with this North Dakota plate because he plays bass
1:42
too. So they do the meet and greet, hands Mark the plate,
1:47
and he's like probably just kind of always super uncomfortable. Yeah, no,
1:49
you get somebody's like, oh cool, thanks. And a year later,
1:53
fast forward, Luke is on Instagram my bandmate, and looks at Mark Coppis
1:57
the Blank bass player an Instagram post. It's from his home studio. On
2:01
the wall, there's the North Dakota license plate that says Blank went eighty two.
2:06
That is awesome. He's got it prominently displayed in his home. Weird
2:09
enough to display it, didn't just toss it and thought it was awesome.
2:13
It's not like it's a wall of license plates. It was like a bare
2:15
wall literally. The bass guitar is hanging there, and then there's the North
2:20
Dakota license plate. Thought it was the coolest thing in the world. Big
2:23
Blinky, I like it. You're never not gonna happen now, there's no
2:28
cool name for Blankwinity too. You guys have a personalized plate? No,
2:31
well, our band does. We got one on O and it's a funny
2:35
process if you've ever actually got because I just got my own plates the other
2:38
day and they're like, do you want a personalized plate? I'm like,
2:39
absolutely not. But when it came to my band's trailer, we had needed
2:44
a license plate for that, and so we wanted to have something funny,
2:46
and so we always say the band is one of our catch phrases, we
2:49
say rimmed Tim, which doesn't mean anything, right, it's super stupid.
2:53
I don't even know the origin of it, but we say rimmed him in
2:55
a lot of different contexts. And so I wanted that. And of course
2:59
you have to explain why you want what it is you're you guys say this
3:02
is how we vocally warm up Tim Tim. I didn't know how to explain
3:09
it in words, so I just wrote, well, it's just something that
3:13
my band says. It's our slogan. Well, two weeks later, apparently
3:19
the North the state of North Dakota did not believe that it was appropriate.
3:23
Oh really, and so they denied it. Okay, all right, yeah,
3:25
but what about you? What's the best personalized plate you've ever seen?
3:29
Seven on one two eight one ninety eight seven. You can text us or
3:31
call us. We've got a couple on here on Facebook and one is you
3:36
the best? That's cute. That's also when I would probably roll my eyes
3:38
at this. One has me rolling. Maria says we're late la or l
3:43
eight I saw one. If it's a busy mom, it's like ah.
3:47
And then I hope that this vehicle who has we're late, has the stickies
3:53
on the back and it's like ten kids in their whole family. That would
3:55
make me happy. I did see. And I don't want to call this
3:59
person out because for the great people. But there was a big suburban in
4:01
the license plate said ski family. Did they have the skis up up on
4:09
the top. No, no, they're just here and fargo to the flattest
4:11
place. That's country. So you and I get you probably love skiing,
4:15
but just to like love it so much that that's now your identity on your
4:19
license plate. Barb just chimed in on Facebook as well and said a Canadian
4:23
plate that simply said sorry, that's none. That might be the winner.
4:30
That is the winner for me. Sorry like it. Amanda in the morning,
4:33
Big ninety eight point seven, No, Amanda stills the sea looks see
4:38
brought to you by JDP Electric. So comedians are coming in too. Joekoy's
4:43
defense after he was criticized for his Golden Globe's performance Now Whoopy Goldberg said hosting
4:47
gigs are just brutal if you've not been in these rooms and you just kind
4:53
of thrust something out there. It's either hit or missed. I love Joe
4:56
Cooy. He makes me just crazy because he's funny. Just be why.
5:00
She really has a thing for you too, Pike. Yeah, she has
5:02
good taste in man. Also, she sure dies Joe Coy, the guy
5:06
she was married to. Ted Danson, Oh that's hey, we're up to
5:10
a good start. Yesterday we spent almost the whole show trying to remember people's
5:14
names, and here we are. I just threw Ted Danson out like it
5:16
was nothing, just spitballing here. You didn't have night Quill last night,
5:19
I'm going to I did have Nike Will Yeah. Really, Okay, I'm
5:21
still sick, so it's allowed. There you go. Parent said that good.
5:25
Steve Martin said, I did my head. To anybody who steps on
5:28
that stage to host a live award show, it's very difficult, and not
5:31
for the squeamash Steve Martin, what is he know? The guy from Cheaper
5:34
by the Dozen? Oh you get out of here, he said, Really,
5:39
you didn't even go with Father of the Bride. You went Cheaper.
5:41
But isn't that his only role we ever had? I'm making so many people.
5:45
Man, yeah you are, he said, I know because I'm still
5:47
throwing up from the last time I did it in twenty ten. He basically
5:50
said he now is going to have at least twenty minutes of stand up work
5:56
just because of Oh, I'm sure he'll have that forever. Now we know
5:59
him. He's on the map, you know what. Steve Martin was really
6:00
good in, though seriously she by the dozen too. By the way,
6:06
they are now saying that comedians should just be banned totally from doing any sort
6:12
of posting. Get like a boring Ryan Seacrest or something. Man, he
6:16
can do it. And Jennifer Lawrence, speaking of the Golden Globes on the
6:19
Red Carpet, she brought up how uncomfortable she was at her wedding. She
6:24
got married in twenty nineteen, and she said Robert de Niro was there.
6:28
She said it was stressful just in general that day, but she remembers looking
6:31
at him and this went down. I looked over and I saw Bob Roberts
6:36
doesn't know anybody, and he's kind of wandering around, and I immediately was
6:41
just like, no, this is not this isn't what he wants to be
6:43
doing. I don't want him here, so I went over and whispered.
6:46
I was like, go home. And he was nice. He like talked
6:48
to my parents and you know, it was polite. But then I was
6:50
like go and then he left and that just genuinely made me feel better.
6:57
That's when you just see how uncomfortable are you. That's the most awkward.
7:00
When you're walking around and everyone else is engaged in like a group conversation,
7:03
You're just like, oh, somebody, somebody take me in. Somebody take
7:08
me in, but know me right, like, can we talk quick?
7:10
It's brutal, like if you've ever been to a wedding where your significant other
7:13
knows the person, and even worse, they're in the wedding oh, and
7:15
you're just the plus one floating around in no man's land, the worst.
7:18
Oh yeah, and then the favorite sit at the head table and you're like,
7:21
okay, here we go. So you get seated next to like the
7:26
you know, the bride's boss at work or something of his wife, and
7:30
then you just start chatting with them, and then you know, three hours
7:32
later your best friends really find out what you're made of. That's right.
7:35
I love that he went. That's super super sweet, But dude, you
7:38
did not have to and she probably thought, like, no way. You
7:41
see Robert DeNiro Bob. She calls him, Oh, Bonnie, call him
7:44
Bob if you're tight, and if you really know him, well you call
7:46
him Bobby. There you Bobby d Man. Out of sight, out of
7:51
mind. I totally space that Usher is gonna be the halftime performance for the
7:56
Super Bowl, and we're finding out it has been a grind. He decided
8:00
that he was going to quit sugar, alcohol, everything. He is gearing
8:03
up for a performance of a lifetime. He's never not had a six pack,
8:07
so I appreciate his dedication. But no, it's like a fourteen minute
8:11
performance. I think you can probably muscle through. But it depends on what
8:13
he's doing and also who is he going to bring on. I mean,
8:16
I'm just excited for it. He's looked, in my opinion, the exact
8:20
same since he started back in the nineties. Yeah, it's just so many
8:22
really, of all the performers, he's got to have, like some of
8:24
the most hits that we've had recently. I mean, this obviously got to
8:28
get ercha. John Aloud up there together, Well, job, where's it
8:31
at? It's Vegas. It's not to No, it's in Vegas. Yeah.
8:37
Yeah, But cutting out sugar and alcohol, wouldn't that be the I
8:39
mean really, if you wanted to be serious about losing weight getting in shape,
8:43
like that'd be the quickest way to do it. Yeah, for sure,
8:46
sugar like even a would it be hard? You forget what sugar is
8:48
in I mean fruit, So there's a lot of different You're right. I
8:52
was at cashwise the other night. Normally I'd get like enough apples for the
8:54
week, you know, apple a day, doing my best to keep the
8:56
doctor away, right, Yeah, And then I remember seeing something online about
9:01
how much sugar is in apples, and I know there's like different kinds of
9:03
sugar or whatever that's more than my pea sized brain can handle. So I
9:07
just said, no, I'm not gonna have any apples. It's about balance.
9:09
So you should have like a sugar, a fat, and a carb
9:13
like all at once, and then you'll be fine. Trust me, I'm
9:16
basically what diet. Have them all at once and it cancels it out,
9:20
just helps with all of the castles it out. You ever watch that's just
9:22
six hundred pounds sisters, No Tammy and oh my god, it's on home.
9:28
I'm obsessed love these two sisters. They're a reality show. Yeah,
9:31
okay, so it follows these sisters in real life. And so their belief
9:35
was that they call them sody's like diet coke. So they grew out.
9:37
Their mom told them that for every sody diet sody that you have it,
9:41
you can have one sweet because it cancels it out. Really one diet coke.
9:46
Go ahead and have yourself a donut. The bar is high because not
9:48
last year. Who'd we have last year? Rihanna? Last year was Rihanna
9:52
great? Of course, but the doctor dre Eminem fifty cent snoop dogg Kendrick
9:56
like that one to me is the Mary of people. A lot of old
10:01
schoolers saying, Pike, that was the worst one. We liked Prince or
10:05
who? Yeah, I think we can all agree on the who. I
10:07
don't care if you're ninety. I could see Grandma and Millie who's ninety six
10:13
here in Usher and being like, yeay yay, I would pay for that.
10:16
Take in a Mana in the morning seven. This family obviously enjoyed this
10:22
particular restaurant so much so that they took their two kids there, a three
10:24
and a two year old, and now they're causing controversy because the owner of
10:28
the restaurant had to kick out the entire family. You know why, because
10:33
the kids wouldn't stop crying, crying, screaming, crying. He described the
10:37
two year old. He said it was like a shriek he'd never heard before.
10:39
So we all know that sounded. I'm sure, Amanda, you got
10:41
two kids, you know the shreek might You'd think it'd be my daughter who's
10:45
four, who has that scream, my son who was three. When he
10:48
starts screaming, it is like nails on a chocol You can just imagine it.
10:52
It has to hurt. They're screaming so loud. So this owner,
10:56
you know, he's getting ripped because he kicked the family out. But as
10:58
a business owner, I mean, and it's not Listen, we're not talking
11:01
about like a chuck e Cheese or a kid's place. It's like a cafe.
11:05
And for me, it doesn't matter. You grab your kids and you
11:07
go if one of them's not cooperating, and it's an uncomfortable situation, not
11:11
only for you your family, for everybody around you. And it sounds like
11:16
there was probably a family for you. Just hey, I'm gonna take this
11:18
to go get our check. We're out of here. Take the kid to
11:20
the car, yeap. The only exception is if you're on an airplane because
11:22
it's nowhere to really take them. But otherwise I appreciate when parents do remove
11:26
the kids from the tud You your best, you know, I would like
11:28
to give them the benefit of the doubt. But and there there are times
11:31
where people just don't care and it is mind blowing, in which case you
11:35
deserve to be kicked out. And let's be honest, we've all been kicked
11:39
out of an establishment a time or two, haven't we. I can think
11:43
of one instance, and this was you can think of one. Okay,
11:46
while you tell the one, let me narrow down which one I want to
11:50
talk about. You can be where were you kicked out? So this is
11:52
why it is so funny. It was Magic Mic like twenty twelve. The
11:58
original Magic Mic was in theater yep, And it was a Friday afternoon.
12:01
We kind of had a half day and there was a bunch of girls here
12:05
at work and we wanted to do a girl's date to go see it.
12:07
Let me set the let me set the tone, all right, So we
12:11
decide, oh yeah, girls are together, Magic Mike. You're gonna leave
12:16
work, and you know what sounds good. Let's make it a sushi date,
12:20
so innocent, little food, a lot of wine. And then we
12:24
decided, let's go see Magic Mike. A little pre pre party for the
12:30
the boys pregame in a movie. You sick? Oh, Nick? Go
12:33
right? Twoenty twelve. We roll into the movie theater. There's gotta be
12:37
eight of us girls. Who can you imagine just eight women in Magic mic
12:43
in general that know each other like that alone is annoying to me? Well,
12:46
it had to be. The theater had to be full of that,
12:48
right. So it was an earlier show, okay, you know, because
12:52
we got into work early, so it wasn't like a nighttime performance by no
12:56
means, probably still light outside. Oh boy, And I don't even know.
13:01
I just remember people like looking at us and we're just like talking,
13:05
and who I mean? You were those people acting as though Magic Mike was
13:09
playing in our living room and we were having a girl party, like thanks
13:11
for coming along with us, and we got it. I can totally see
13:15
that you After a couple of glasses of wine, absolutely can see that thinking
13:18
you're the funniest person in the world. You are, you are, okay
13:20
o yeah yeah, yeah, but yeah. So they they came in and
13:24
just gave me the old come here and you're coming with me. I just
13:26
remember us all exiting and just like and then the awkward like oh my gosh,
13:30
like laughing about it. It's just so childish and we were all,
13:33
I mean, adults. It happens. Listen. I've been kicked out in
13:37
multiple places. One together. We were in a club in Vegas. I
13:39
got thrown out because I threw up. That's right. I stand by this,
13:43
Like I told the bouncer that night, I'm not that drunk. My
13:46
tummy just doesn't feel good. But I was also kicked out of another club
13:50
just recently. This is like a year ago, so I'm like a thirty
13:52
some year old man at this point. Really, But my buddy and I
13:54
we were down. It was when I was living in Floridas. We're downtown
13:56
in Orlando and we're going to go to this club and we've been out all
14:01
night, so we're feeling real good. I don't know why, just the
14:03
thought of going to a club anymore, I know, I mean kills me.
14:05
That's why it was so funny to us. We thought it would be
14:07
so silly because the people going in this club are dressed up to the nines
14:11
and they're like club age, yes, and we're not. We're just silly
14:15
dudes dressed wearing whatever. So we get in this club and our plan was
14:18
just to dance, just to be silly, just to do some silly dancing.
14:22
So we walk in the door. I'm not kidding. We took about
14:24
ten steps and as we're walking, we start kind of grooving our hips a
14:26
little kind of like pointed fingers, doing the cheesy white guys kind of like
14:31
maybe like a Brady bunch, Like I'm trying to give more of a visual.
14:35
And this big bounce to wearing a black tuxedo, just holding the clipboard,
14:39
sees us waltz in it. He looks at us. He goes,
14:41
no, no, get out. He just threw us out. You didn't
14:45
even get didn't even make it. Oh that's good. He just shakes his
14:50
head. He goes, uh uh, oh, you are not coming in
14:54
here. This reminds me I forgot. I was also kicked out of what
14:56
is downtown Minis Bliss. I could not think of the name. I was
15:01
there for a bachelorette party, and by the end of the night we ended
15:03
up why Jack's I can't remember. We were down from where you get grape
15:07
apes the loon? Is that what? Yeah, so we're down at this
15:11
or was it the saloon? I don't know, another fine flash. But
15:15
we had just left Gay nineties and we were walking down and there was I
15:18
don't remember if there was like a live band, but my feet, Mama's
15:22
feet were on fire. And I was wearing like these tall cheet of print
15:26
shoes. So I'm standing in the front row like dancing, and I have
15:30
my shoes in my hand and this guy he was so mean to me.
15:33
He's like, put your shoes on, Like I actually can't, like my
15:37
feet as sollen, Like I can't get him on, and he just looks
15:39
at me. He's like, get your shoes on and get out of here.
15:43
And I'm like looking at my girlfriends. I'm like carrying my shoes so
15:46
because I could not get him on, and just so gross, because you
15:48
know how weird I am with feet, Like the fact I was walking around
15:52
in disgusting bart and he kept if he's kicking you out, he can't tell
15:54
you to put your shoes on. Looked like, well, I'll do one
15:58
of those things in a minute in the morning. Dig seven trending. Now
16:04
here's what you need to know. Well, if you're like me, last
16:08
week, I went, aren't Stanley's kind of over with? I was confused.
16:11
I'm like, this has been going on for a couple of years.
16:14
Why are we still making this a craze? I thought maybe like a news
16:17
outlet picked it up and was like, ooh, I just found out about
16:19
this. But it was because of that winter pink exclusive limited edition Starbucks one
16:25
right yes, that they only sold at Target and it sold out without minutes.
16:29
It is now on eBay up to three thousand dollars. Nobody's gonna buy
16:33
then, And I get Listen, the craze is overblown, for sure,
16:36
But there's a solid water bottle. It looks like a Stanley and it looks
16:38
like it could go through a nuclear war. You know, the last thing
16:41
standing would be, you know, like a horn and Stanley cups. Yeah,
16:45
and I didn't even realize that we had an ex hilarious, hilarious comment
16:51
that you just blew right past, aren't you wondering why corn, why horn
16:56
bike? You know, it's apparently it's invincible. Gosh, I am so
17:04
sorry for everybody who is hilariously driving off the road right now. I didn't
17:08
let that one get really didn't get me. I was too busy looking out
17:15
of the corner of my eye at this beautiful not Stanley that way. Yeah,
17:18
we've had this in our possession before this became a thing. Yeah,
17:21
it's a exclusive pike and Amanda in the Morning tumblrt and we're giving it away.
17:25
It is winter pink, so you got that going for it. But
17:27
again, before winter pink was a thing, and now it is used.
17:30
But it's sort of like homes and that it only goes up in value.
17:33
Your chance to win it right now is on a big nine hit points on
17:37
Facebook page. Now. To be clear, Amanda has a little whipstick staying
17:40
around the rim that. Do you even remember fruit stripe gum? I never
17:51
forgot. It was so cross to me. I think I tried it one
17:53
time. I'm like, nah, but I didn't like juicy fruit. I
17:56
didn't like fruity gums, fruit stripe gum. It was about the experience which
18:00
didn't last long. No, it didn't the packaging for a kid. Come
18:04
on, growing up in the nineties, fruit stripe gum so fun bubble tape
18:08
for me, or because that was just that was fun to be able to
18:11
peel it out and do do what you're talking about packaging. I liked bubble
18:18
tape better than or they even bazook got better than that. No, okay,
18:22
so what we're saying here fruit stripe gum is gone, gone forever.
18:25
Yeah, they discontinued it. So this is like basically we're having a funeral
18:29
for fruit stripe gum. And Amanda got up to talk about some of the
18:30
other you know, I'm sorry because I just want people who are mourning the
18:34
loss of fruit stripe gum to know bubble tape is still a thing, is
18:37
it? Really? It is? It didn't last long either. Yeah.
18:40
My husband actually bought it for the kids the other day and like, what
18:42
are you doing? And that's all? They just want a little piece of
18:45
gum every day. I'm like, ugh, you ever take the whole roll
18:48
of the tape and just chew it? No? Oh, yeah, how
18:52
do you even do that? Well, you take it out of the packaging,
18:56
you put it in your mouth and then you start chewing, but that
18:59
would be that'd be tough. I kind of want to get a thing to
19:03
see what you look like doing that once. You just bring a bunch of
19:08
stuff and we'll see how that can fit in my mouth. Well, thank
19:11
you, fruits ripe for your service. You're gone, but never forgotten.
19:15
You live on in our memory. Why do this today? Pete Davidson is
19:25
revealing new details about Aretha Franklin's funeral and saw this headline in a went why
19:30
was he there? Because the picture that is surfacing he is standing there.
19:33
Imagine a funeral, everybody is gathered and he looks like Frankenstein standing in the
19:38
middle of everybody. It is so terrifying. But he was high, right,
19:42
yes, so he I guess has this one hour special And he dished
19:45
that he was high on ketamine at the event and disassociating. He even admits,
19:51
he goes, if she was alive, she would go who are you
19:52
and why are you at my funeral? But he was with uh Ariana Grande
19:56
at the time and she was performing. I thought they had a thing.
19:59
Pete and Aretha at the end there, come on, come on, well
20:03
with his track record, you just never know you can't rule anyone out.
20:06
I mean maybe before Arianna. I don't know, but this is not a
20:10
good idea. And he admits he was so high he thought it was a
20:12
good idea to go up to our family and say, hey, I'm just
20:17
here to pay my rispect. He did not say that. That's what he
20:22
said. That's a goofball. Kick him out of there. I feel like
20:26
you and Pete would be good friends. Just crap each other out and Amanda
20:30
in the morning on page seven, before we get into this texting conversation.
20:36
Yeah, I'm in a bit of a standoff right now. On Facebook.
20:40
We have a good listener named Mark. Yeah, we do. You know.
20:41
Mark and I go way back. Mark used to deal me blackjack when
20:45
I was like a young twenty one year old when you had a blackjack problem.
20:48
I remember those days. To play blackjack every day. It's not a
20:51
problem, No, no, not at all. Well, nonetheless, Mark's
20:53
been a great listener. And then you know he had sent you a message
20:56
in regards to what we were just talking about. So I went to look
20:57
at his Facebook page. We're not friends anymore. You know that feeling when
21:00
you go to somebody's page and it says ad friend. Yeah, your heart
21:03
just sinks, and you know it's it's funny because you're uncomfortable. But then
21:07
I was the one who had to send him a message and say, hey,
21:11
Pike wants to know why you unfriended him. Well, and you know
21:15
I had told you it's probably because you ditched us. Pike. You moved
21:18
all the way to Florida and you were just down and out, never to
21:21
even look back. But is that not all the more reason to stay Facebook
21:26
friends so you can keep up with your old pal. Yeah. He then
21:29
said you didn't make one of his Facebook house cleanings because you had moved,
21:32
so uh. Then he said he's got he must have one of the cleanest
21:36
friends lists. Nobody out of the zip code is friends with Mark. He
21:40
did say tell him to send him a request? I said, want to
21:42
now he's now he's playing hard to get so well why should I? You
21:45
are friended me Mark, you're the one who wants to be friends with him.
21:49
He never said he wanted to be friends with exactly. All right,
21:52
tell him if he doesn't want to be Facebook friends, that's fine, just
21:56
say so so good. I love it. I love you Mark, even
21:59
if not Facebook friends. All right, So texting gen Z's going through a
22:03
bit of do we have him on? All right, Mark, hang on
22:07
real quick. We're gonna save this rousing conversation for another time. But all
22:11
right, Mark, you are live on air. So if you have any
22:15
harassing words to say to Pike, just I don't have any harassing words to
22:18
say to Pike. But periodically people go through their Facebook accounts and if there's
22:22
someone that's no longer in the area or they don't have a lot of contact
22:26
with, they get them. I get not just so, and so I
22:29
didn't think about adding you when you came back. Yeah, and yes,
22:32
I indeed did deal blackchack to you for years when you were young, sir.
22:36
So I don't have any hard feelings on this end. I just didn't
22:40
realize I was going to become a local celebrity on the air. Mark,
22:42
You've been a celeb in this studio for years now. We love you,
22:45
and I just listen. I get it because I'm in a unique position where
22:48
I get a lot of Facebook friends that I don't know necessarily, and so
22:52
I'm just used to the and I'll tell you this, Mark, it is
22:53
kind of fun to have random friends you don't know, because you get a
22:56
lot of the drama that you're not really familiar with. That said, I
23:00
get the house cleaning. I get you don't want some loser who moved down
23:03
to Florida. But now we're back, and I think it's time that you
23:07
and I reconnect. Well, maybe we can hit up. We've been talking
23:10
about golfing for a while, so maybe we can go golf in this next
23:11
summer. Absolutely, there you go. I'd like that a great time.
23:15
All right. Well, and on one last note before I go to work,
23:17
I did send you another friend request. Oh dude, I love this.
23:22
I'll haven't answered to you by noon, Amanda in the morning. On
23:26
SIG seven, isn't there things that are sort of outdated, sort of myths
23:32
that are believed about dating that can kind of go away? Like you and
23:36
I, Amanda, we haven't been dating for years now, and so probably
23:38
things that we believe to be true back then no longer are the case,
23:41
apparently, And I got the top five. Okay, all right? So
23:44
for example, remember the hole you need to wait to say I love you
23:48
because of this whole you know, sometimes they say the three month rule.
23:51
Even three months doesn't that like, And again this shows out outdated. I
23:53
am feels a little aggressive three months when be honest, it's very that you
24:00
and Nick you pretty much fell in love right away, and it was like
24:02
a very expedited process. It was yeah, absolutely who said it? And
24:07
when did you say? I love you? I believe it was him,
24:10
and I honestly don't really I don't remember. I know it was early on
24:11
because I remember him moving. We started dating mid August. He had moved
24:17
to Iowa October first, and we had already done gone I love you.
24:21
So are we saying? Probably weeks? Not months? Yeah, wow,
24:25
like a month and a half. Probably you think he said it. You
24:26
don't remember for sure, though you don't remember that much. I really don't.
24:29
We were so caught up in that moment, so indescribable. Interesting.
24:33
And this is another outdated dating rule, the whole all women only want a
24:37
guy who's six feet tall, he's rich, he's got a six pack,
24:41
owing by the way, he's a big jerk. That's not really the case.
24:44
Huh No, I think nowadays, and I guess maybe just generational and
24:48
after you've been through a couple, guys are like, I want somebody who's
24:51
truly your best friend and can make you laugh every single day. Like that
24:55
is you're willing to sacrifice a couple of inches if it means it can make
24:57
you laugh. Are you willing to make that s? Yeah? Yeah.
25:03
Another rule for dating that's outdated. You should wait three days after a date
25:07
to message or call it the first gosh, like three seconds like, hey,
25:11
it was great to see you. Yeah, you're getting in your car
25:12
going, oh my god, it was so fun tonight. Yeah, made
25:15
it home. Say for look forward to and if you don't hear from them,
25:18
I would say within twenty four hours, it's like out. I mean
25:21
a lot of these are like if you like the person, and that's something
25:23
it's not a decision you make. It's like just truly a feeling that you
25:26
actually like the person. And if that's the case, then you're willing to
25:30
look past pretty much everything one thing that bothers me. And I feel like
25:33
a lot of women do this. I was just talking to one of my
25:37
girlfriends about it. Who's in the dating scene. I'm like, playing hard
25:38
to get brings me to number two here? Oh really? Men love to
25:41
chase women. They enjoyed the challenge of convincing an uninterested women to go out
25:47
with them, or that men like it when women like you said play hard
25:49
to get. Like I just said, though, if you actually like them,
25:52
then it doesn't matter you. They don't need to play hard to get.
25:55
If I like you and you're just being very responsive and you're texting me
25:57
the second we leave, then yeah, that's great. But vibe, but
26:00
if you're still not sure, if you short of them on the fence and
26:03
then they're being a little aggressive like texting right away, then that can probably
26:07
swing you in the wrong direction. I don't know. I just feel like
26:10
people can pick up vibes. Maybe I'm wrong. You should just know like,
26:12
oh, a person's not I will say though, Lauren and I my
26:15
wife who've been together ten years now. But right away, Amanda, it
26:18
was not. It was a little bit of what we're talking about, sort
26:21
of hard to get, sort of like yeah, just not really interested in
26:23
dating, blah blah blah. I'm really struggling and remembering you guys getting together
26:27
because it wasn't just hot and heavy. But then I remember when you guys
26:30
were together, was like, oh my gosh, you're together. Yeah,
26:33
as I was dating for you know, like the one year of my life
26:36
that I was single. You know, yeah, there was there was times
26:37
where people were really interested, and I'll be honest, yeah, it's like
26:41
seems like that can be a bit of a turnoff. You know if it
26:42
was like, oh that was why was that so easy? You know,
26:45
I'm not that likable, you know, you wanna hang on it? Den
26:49
d With Lauren, it really was like a six month process for both of
26:52
us really in the end workdoun and everybody has their journey, and I think
26:56
it also depends on what stage of life you're on, where you're at.
27:00
You know, Nick and I weren't getting any younger, and it was like
27:03
okay, cool, here we go. Yeah, got real lucky. Yeah,
27:06
And that's a That's another big one here is that you shouldn't talk about
27:10
wanting or not wanting kids, or just your general life and relationship goals on
27:14
the first date. That's outdated because, like you said, you both were
27:17
in a position where you that's what you wanted, and so why should you
27:19
not make that clear? Totally? Yeah, because if you're gonna tell me
27:22
in six months something that I'm gonna go, huh, absolutely waste of my
27:27
time. Yeah, like, oh, you were looking for a serious relationship.
27:33
We weren't just horsing around. My bad, I have this all mixed
27:37
up. Sorry to waste the two years of your life. Like in a
27:41
minute in the morning on Big Nuddy eight points seven. Well, if you
27:45
were in this area Fargo, Moorhead, North Dakota, Minnesota in two thousand
27:48
and three, you surely remember this story. The murder of Drew Shadeen.
27:52
Gosh, just devastating, right, we remember, you know, I think
27:56
I was probably in fifth grade. But just the story of when you found
28:00
out that she'd gone missing from the Columbia Mall in Grand Forks, the search
28:03
of course finding her body. I mean, it was just horrifying, the
28:07
whole thing. And then the trial Alfonse Rodriguez getting sentenced to death. I
28:11
mean, just all of it is in the turn of events too. I
28:12
mean that still happened even up until this year with the Dea sentence with Alphon
28:18
is it getting Yeah, So it's just it's horrifying. This reminds me because
28:22
two thousand and three I had graduated, so I was just leaving down.
28:25
But like Jacob Weatherley, you know what I mean, and remembering those stories
28:29
but this is one of them that oh just gets you. It's so sad
28:33
and Tomorrow Night twenty twenty, if you've been following along on Facebook, like
28:36
her family has been promoting the fact that this is coming out tomorrow night on
28:38
ABC, take a listen. There are some stories that just stick with you.
28:42
Drew was working at Victoria's Secret. She did a little Christmas shopping,
28:48
headed to her car, and then went missing from the mall. She was
28:52
talking with your boyfriend and the following dead. It wasn't a screen. It
28:56
was just as the last time anyone from Drew Shadeen. How heartbreaking is that
29:03
to think about? So it was emotional. She was one of those kids
29:11
that everybody loved, like everybody's daughter, everybody's friend. We were twenty two
29:15
year old, we were invincible. Now Friday Night that must have been sentenced.
29:19
Chill down your spine twenty twenty takes you inside the hunt to catch a
29:25
killer. He was excellent at stocking people before he kills again. So his
29:30
violence is escalating. You have a serial sexual predator on your hand. The
29:36
true crime effect missing from the mall. In the blink of a night,
29:40
things changed forever. David new York Deborah Roberts The Only twenty twenty Friday Night
29:45
at nine eighth Central Auto ABC man chilling, and so tomorrow night that's gonna
29:49
be probably must watch. Oh absolutely. And if you weren't super close and
29:53
you don't remember all of it, just even having that conversation with your kids,
29:57
I mean, those are those things that you should be talking about.
30:00
I mean, you just never know, you don't. Yeah, And like
30:03
you said, Amanda, the Jacob Wetterling story that I think preceded this,
30:07
and so that was what like when I was growing up, my mom just
30:08
constantly was terrified to have this yes anywhere alone and always using that is like
30:14
this happened, so we don't want this to happen to you. So yeah,
30:17
to be aware of your surroundings and what's going on, but it can
30:19
happen to anybody. I had forgot that she was working a Victoria's secret,
30:22
just normal day, you know, and then yeah, it sever breaking and
30:26
I'm sure obviously you heard the person crying there, you know. For us,
30:30
like you know, we all move on and still remember it, of
30:32
course, but for their family, even the boyfriend who's on the phone with
30:34
her at the time. I mean, just what their lives have been like
30:37
since that, and again with the trial and going back and forth, and
30:41
remember Elphonse, I mean, you're you're living that every day and you're still
30:44
fighting for justice and not completely ever getting that. I can't imagine. I
30:48
don't check it out Tomorrow night. It's on ABC.
