Do Not Give a Woman Any of These Gifts · Podcast - Big 98.7

0:00
It doesn't even feel like it's Soliday season. No, yeah, no Dickory
0:04
dock to be found, but no, weird. Nevertheless, gifts will be
0:08
exchanged in less than a week. And if you're still scrambling like me,
0:12
I haven't even put a single thought into getting gifts or what you know,
0:16
and it's, by the way, probably too late to order them. So
0:18
yeah, I feel like this is why you gotta you gotta continue to shop
0:22
local, Pike, got to go into the actual store and buy your stuff.
0:27
Is that right, Amanda, it's sure. I don't know if you'll
0:29
be able to hear me up there on your high horse. You're telling me
0:32
that not a single Amazon package will be delivered to your home this year?
0:35
Oh gosh, no, okay, that's what we're going with. Maybe one
0:39
or two. Yeah, but no, I did all my Christmas shopping early
0:45
because you were not here last year. But I I forgot about the big
0:50
gift that the kids are asking for. That's okay, you're the middle man.
0:54
They can ask you for the Santa gift and you relate to Santa.
0:57
Well yeah, so they just can't talk to sands or whatever. And yeah,
1:00
who forgot about all of that? Okay. Last year, so it
1:02
was like a Christmas Eve, major panic situation. I mean, everything is
1:07
closing. I'm scrambling trying to do this. It was a It was a
1:11
real debacle. So I planned accordingly this year. Yeah, I'm sure you'll
1:14
get the parenting thing figure out. Someday, I'll figure it out. Maybe
1:19
here this will help you. If you're listening and you got to buy for
1:22
a lady. There's things you should never ever buy a woman. This according
1:25
to a gift expert. She's famous online now is the gift girl on TikTok.
1:30
You can be a gift expert. It'd be anything you want to be.
1:33
Well, you tell me if she's wrong. Here, because there are
1:34
three gifts to never ever get a woman. First number one on the list
1:38
any household cleaning supplies. That is such It drives me nuts when people say
1:42
this, because I would give anything for a kitchen aid mixer, like a
1:47
really nice dice in vacuum if that's something I wanted. Yeah, I see
1:49
a good vacuum. I don't even know if that counts because that would just
1:53
be so it's such a game changer to have a really good vacuum. You
1:57
can spend a lot of money on a vacuum. My husband and I were
2:00
just talking about this. I would love to have appliances like a new cream
2:02
beige appliances would be amazing you and your babe, I know right Well,
2:08
anyway, don't do that if you want to follow the gift girls. Yeah.
2:13
The next one absolute no. No is any gift meant to help someone
2:16
on their weight loss journey. No, I would have I bought a Peloton
2:21
or we bought one two years ago, three years ago, and that was
2:24
our Christmas gift because I was so excited about it. And this year man
2:28
has been begging for an ozembic prescription. So if anybody else't hasn't got her
2:37
a gift to the big Oh, wrap that up in a boat. Many
2:39
doctors are listening. You can go and write that note. Can I get
2:43
a twelve month subscription to ozempic. I want to know more information about it,
2:49
that's all. She's curious. She's curious, shoot me wherever I go.
2:55
I just want to find out more information. And the and the final
3:02
gift you should never ever give a woman because it's offensive. Any kind of
3:06
anti aging skincare again, hit me with your Cardiff boatox. If my husband
3:15
gave me botox or that's probably the only thing I'd go with, or any
3:20
sort of like facial things because I massage. Now, I know, I'm
3:23
only a man, and you're allowed to get a man anything because you know
3:28
who cares. But twice in my life now I have gotten it as a
3:30
gift I cream once from an ex girlfriend and once from my own mother for
3:38
a gift. So once okay, sure, but twice not. I'm a
3:46
trend. I don't even know if I have I cream. I'm sure I
3:49
do, and I've never used it just out of protest because I was offended.
3:53
Just was there a reason behind it? Did you mention? Have you
3:59
looked at me last five years? Did you take I got a couple of
4:01
pillowcases hanging from my eyelids. It's hurtful. Did you message this gift expert
4:08
and tell her that she chanced to revise this to guys do one for men
4:11
now too, because we believe it or not our people as well. Well.
4:14
I think I'm gonna have to message her and say this list is trash.
4:16
I want all of it, like a minute in the morning, Big
4:19
ninety eight point seven. Well, man, I know you are nervous to
4:23
discuss what your last meal would be if you were on death row. And
4:26
I don't think he ever would be. No, definitely not. But if
4:29
you were, what would the last meal be? Because you know, historically,
4:31
I've always found it to be the weirdest thing that these people who've done
4:34
horrible, horrible things, the last thing is they get to request whatever food
4:38
they want. Right, Yeah, you'd be like, no, you should
4:41
who cares? Yeah? Right, what does it matter? Why would you?
4:44
Yeah? No, I get that. So even going back to I
4:45
found some of the more insane things that have been requested. Like you remember
4:48
John Wayne Gacy, Yes, famous serial killer. He was also known as
4:53
the Pogo the killer clown, accused of killing thirty three boys and young men
4:57
in the seventies. Anyway, his last meal, which was granted twelve fried
5:01
shrimp, a bucket of KFC chicken fries, and a pound of fresh strawberries.
5:06
Oh nice dessert. Nice healthy dessert to go out on. That's a
5:11
lot of strawberries. If you ever like house like the entire container. Oh,
5:15
it fills you up. Raspberries I can do easily, but yeah,
5:16
strawberries. Probably my wife will milk a thing of you know, just the
5:20
normal little container of raspberries for the whole week. I'm like, I can
5:25
only do that in literally probably thirty seconds. That's how it doesn't take long.
5:30
Yeah, Ted Bundy, you know him, one of the more famed
5:32
serial killers. Anyway, he requested eggs, hash browns, toast, and
5:38
juice, and then also on top of that, a steak, pretty normal
5:41
stuff. Go big breakfast guy, a little steak and eggs. Okay,
5:43
no, old Bundy. You know he's really been glamorized over the years,
5:46
what with the Zach Effron film and right, yeah, yes, like some
5:49
people even like having crushes on him. Come on, now, that's one
5:51
thing I'll never understand to all of these like and I say, ladies Coast
5:56
typically that's what it is that are sending all of this like love mail to
6:01
Yeah, here's a guy who killed. What are you doing? I don't
6:04
know if you remember this. He's not as famous as Victor of fig were
6:09
famous serial killer from back in the day. Anyway, his final meal,
6:12
he requested a single all of just one all of now, he said,
6:15
because he thought that when he was buried, the olive in his stomach would
6:19
sprout a tree and it would be a symbol of peace. Oh boy,
6:25
yeah, yeah, good, weird all this stuff. And then finally Timothy
6:28
McVeagh remember this, oh Oklahoma City bos anyway, he asked for ice cream.
6:32
That's right, he was the ice cream guy, which brings me to
6:34
my last meal, Amanda. If I were to do something horrible, I
6:38
would have to it would probably be a Chinese buffet, right, just like
6:42
that's what I was kind of thinking you were going to go with. I
6:44
don't know who owned King House, but whoever that is, they would have
6:46
to like revive it because I can get whatever I want. I'm the serial
6:49
killer, yep, I'm in charge, and so they would have to revive
6:53
King House, bufet. I would go, probably take two trips up there,
6:56
and then finish it up with I want an entire bucket, a whole
6:59
gallon bucket of Camps ice cream, vanilla, just playing vanilla really with a
7:03
log of cookie though, in which I would kind of okay, correct,
7:09
stir it out, make my own cookieo ice cream with a little hot fudge,
7:12
a little hot fudge. Wow, Okay, I was thinking for me,
7:16
I would want two tacos from Taco bell. Okay, just too hard
7:21
or soft? I like hard, you do, yep, and then I
7:25
am going to want hard as well. Just a single Arby's roast beef sandwich
7:30
with Horsey sauce and Arby sauce. Okay, are you gonna put it on
7:33
the sandwich or do you put it on the side. I just put it
7:35
up on the sandwich, and then I put two more packets mix it together
7:39
on the side and dip it. Oh my gosh, I'm so hungry right
7:41
now. That's exactly what I like to hear. I am gonna want also
7:45
a little bit of Chinese food, but I'm trying to decide like I like
7:47
it, like the fried rice, but I like it cold, like only
7:51
nuked for a little bit, a little older, like day old, like
7:55
sesame chicken or beef. What is a little Chinese food that's foreign? That's
7:59
foreign to me? Right? I get Amanda in the morning, sage ninety
8:03
seven. Well, New Year's is nearly upon, as Amanda. Have you
8:05
started thinking about your New Year's RESI the old resolution is what I mean.
8:09
We were talking a little bit about it yesterday when we were at Plaza Azteca.
8:13
I would like to do dry January. I think that that's obviously doable.
8:16
And then something especially after the holidays, that's now that's not a New
8:20
Year's resolution because that's only for a month. That's a January resolution. That's
8:24
usually how most of them panned out. Right, you're really going to do
8:26
dry January? Try? That would be impressive. I know you tried to
8:30
loop me into it. I just looked at my calendar. I'm like,
8:31
well, can't not drink here, can't not drink here any Yeah, no,
8:35
it's it could be a challenge, but gonna give it her a shot.
8:37
But it's going for you. New Year's resolutions go, I don't remember
8:43
the last time I had one. Well, you're not alone because a new
8:46
study was done and apparently millennials in particular, I think they're pretty much over
8:50
New Year's resolutions. Not many people doing them anymore, and in fact,
8:54
the ones who do, they say the numbers about five percent of people who
8:56
actually for the entire year stick to it. Yeah, I know, I
9:00
remember. It's more of like reflecting as the year goes on. I always
9:03
think, gosh, you know, this is what I want to do better
9:05
this year, or yeah, it's just a fresh start. Yeah, absolutely,
9:09
new beginnings. It's not so much like, oh, I'm gonna brush
9:11
my teeth three times a day every day of this year, which great a
9:16
sticker chart for yourself. Yeah, you can do that too. But the
9:18
most popular New Year's resolutions are like quitting smoking if you do smoke, exercising
9:24
more, eating healthier, spending more time with family, drinking lass. And
9:28
it's all about the timing of it too. After the holidays from Thanksgiving on,
9:31
we're just celebrating, we're around family, you're doing all of those things
9:35
where yeah, when January hits, it's like, oooh, it's just time,
9:39
I'm gonna do it. Yeah, it's it's not so much it's a
9:41
new Year's resolution for me anyway. It's always been like, all right,
9:43
that's like a good time to start getting it together. As far as working
9:46
out, eating right, because you're right, if you start working out in
9:50
January, normally by June or summer, you know when you start shirts off
9:54
season, yeah, you can, like that's enough time. Feeling good about
9:58
yourself yeah yeah, and you know, or is last about what you look
10:01
like? The older you get, it's just how do you feel? Can
10:03
you put clothes on and feel decent about yourself. You know, I love
10:05
that because that is so true. You get to a point where I'm like,
10:07
the size and the scale, none of that matters. We're not going
10:13
down the otter Tail River at twenty one years old anymore. We're not trying
10:16
to impress anybody. You're not, you know what I mean, trying to
10:18
impress yourself. Well, that and we're both married. It's like, as
10:20
long as everything is still good there, I'm great. And then I also
10:24
remember, like I had two kids, like I'm never going to look like
10:26
I did whenever it was whatever it was that one time, long long time
10:31
ago, Amanda in the Morning on sign and no Amanda Stills the Sea looks
10:39
see brought to you by JDP Electorate. So have you been fallen along with
10:45
Jonathan Majors Now I've heard that name. Yeah, So he was really starting
10:48
to become famous. He was in Creed three, but then he also was
10:52
a part of the Marvel series uh Ant Man and the Wasp Quantum Mania,
10:56
so he was Cang the Conqueror. So this was like a big deal.
11:00
They were starting to go through all the Marvel stuff. Well, he ended
11:03
up going to court because a woman who he was dating for a little while,
11:07
said there was some domestic violence incidents that were going on. Yesterday he
11:11
was found guilty on all of that and marvel right away they said, nope,
11:15
he's out. We're yeah, that's a you know, that's surprising to
11:18
hear they waited till there was an actual conviction. You know a lot of
11:20
times it's just the second there's an accusation on hold or something. Yes,
11:24
so well crazy and Britney Spears that it was probably a year ago. I
11:33
want to say that we found out that Britney spears gym had started on fire.
11:35
I think she had left a candle or something out. I'm not one
11:39
hundred percent sure. Candles number one cause of house fires. Be careful,
11:43
folks. Yesterday she posted the picture of it, like a house back of
11:48
it of the gym. I mean, it's completely destroyed. I mean it
11:52
was insane. How big of a fire this. It's crazy what a fire
11:56
will do? I know, But I guess I was just kind of assuming
11:58
that it was like, oh, okay, the was a little fire that
12:00
started. I didn't think it was going to be this big deal. You
12:03
ever had a fire, no in the house or anything. Like, you
12:05
know, cooking something and something starts on fire. You never had to have
12:07
like the extinguisher out or anything like that. But she's also got some really
12:11
bizarre things going on. She's doing some throwback video. She's got one where
12:15
she's just flipping off the camera. I don't know what's going on here.
12:18
It's just not feeling good again. What's been going on? I know it
12:22
seems perfectly sustainable because this has been this every morning we walk in here,
12:26
a Manda's like, did you see what Britney posted? I'm like, I
12:28
don't need to see it. I know it's weird and bizarre, but it's
12:33
just this is how it is. This is her life. I know.
12:35
I just felt that it was becoming a little bit better and that she was
12:39
like making more sense, and that's really a mistake. I mean, yeah,
12:43
Tom Brady, so I guess it was his mom who's the culprit for
12:48
this, But I thought it was him when I first heard this story.
12:50
Aren't his parents from Minnesota or they lived here for some time where his grandparent
12:54
did or something maybe Anyway, besides the point, so he was laughing off
12:56
that there was a photo swap. So this girl accidentally her parents went and
13:01
got their photos from CBS, which is just great, Yes, well that's
13:05
happening still, right, And it ended up being a photo of Tom Brady
13:09
and his kids at a football stadium, and she's like, okay, this
13:13
is really weird. Anyway, she posted it on TikTok saying this is what
13:18
my mom ordered and this is what she received. Tom Brady got wind of
13:22
it and said, yeah, my mom must have been putting some photos in
13:24
San Francisco. Again, I mean, just funny, adorable, and then
13:28
she fired back, now, when you're in town, we'll have to photo
13:31
swap. Who's in town when tom Brady goes to San Francisco like this other
13:37
oh theirs, maybe get your photos back. I don't know, because she's
13:43
assuming that like mom maybe got the other photo. I don't know. Tom
13:46
Brady's coming to town to steal one of your family photos. What a world
13:50
trending. Now here's what you need to know. Well, this was really
13:56
scary Sunday night. There was about thirty five anglers that were up on Upper
14:00
Red Lake and they angling, they were angling and the ice ended up breaking
14:07
away. They were only on ten inches of ice and there were forty mile
14:11
parmer winds and they ended up getting stranded. It wasn't until eight o'clock last
14:15
night that thankfully there was an air boat that was able to get out there
14:18
and rescuers rescue everybody. No injuries, nobody fill into the water. That's
14:24
just a horrifying situation for them. And how long they had to be out
14:26
there. I wouldn't have made it a couple hours, like I would have
14:28
hit panic mode, especially overnight dark wattup, Oh gos, Yeah you're not
14:33
sleepy, you can't do anything. Yeah, you gonna lay down on ten
14:35
inch thick ice and take a map. No thanks. It was soliday season,
14:41
holiday season, and it all started with a joke. But how cool
14:45
is this. There is a guy named Drew who does a self checkout at
14:50
Walmart, and he invited other customers supers the attendant he is, yes,
14:54
and he wanted to invite other customers who beg items themselves, to have a
14:58
little part kind of just joking like an employee Christmas party, because joking that
15:03
we're that now employees bag in our own groceries. Right, So he invited
15:07
all of these people, thousands of people. I mean, it went viral
15:11
here in our area, which was crazy people interested in going. It was
15:15
hilarious. I kept seeing it on my Facebook and every time I went,
15:16
that's funny, it is right. Well, it morphed into something so much
15:20
bigger than that. There were people who actually showed up. But he turned
15:24
it into a holiday toy drive to give back to kid. He saw he
15:28
had an opportunity and he took it. What a good man. I love
15:31
baging my own groceries forget. Some people complain, come on now once't you
15:35
rather do that? It really depends on how many items I have. I
15:39
get anxious because sometimes if it stopped for some reason, there's certain places where
15:43
you can't ring it in right, or if you get something around, I
15:46
feel like that's getting better the whole fit you have produce. It's like,
15:50
oh man, I have to weigh this, do this. I get anxious.
15:52
I'd rather just have somebody else have a nice little chit chat with jam
15:56
or whomever. It sounds like you need to have some composure. I also
16:00
typically just do drive up because it's easier for me. Okay, yeah,
16:07
I don't like to bring the rascals into the grocery store. We got two
16:10
kids quite the hassle you leave them in the car. I remember, at
16:15
a very young age my mom be like, yeah, you want to stay
16:18
in the car, not yeah, I'll stay here. Thanks. And I
16:21
didn't even have a phone. That was just me staring at stuff. You
16:23
just be sitting there. But you'd always say, don't go with any strangers.
16:27
So we're fine as long as you say that. Oh the good old
16:34
days, right for anybody, no matter what they have. Oh gosh,
16:41
all right, Google release. The most searched Christmas cookie is by state Minnesota
16:47
and North Dakota searching the same cookie, the classic peanut butter blossom. What's
16:52
the ingredients that go into that? Because this is the one. It's like
16:53
the little peanut butter one with theshey kiss. I prefer the hershey kiss.
16:59
Sometimes people make like a homemade blossom where it actually looks like a little flat
17:03
I think that's cute. Yeah, just give me the hershey kiss. There's
17:04
such a it's such a consistent, solid cookie. It just is it is.
17:08
And why is it that we only usually make them around the holidays?
17:11
Isn't that kind of weird? Like cookie? Right? It's just a sweet
17:15
tree. But it's like, give me that over a chocolate chip. But
17:18
it's kind of like the McRib It's like, yeah, you could have it
17:21
year round, but it doesn't, you know, it loses the allure.
17:25
I'm just only having it during this time. That or like the Oreole balls.
17:27
Do you ever have those? Oh balls of Oreo? So good?
17:30
Yeah, that's good. I like I like a good sugar cookie, and
17:33
I also like cream kakka. Which one is that? Is that the even?
17:37
No? I just like saying it. Okay, I feel like that's
17:38
the one that I get it. This is gonna sound terrible because I should
17:41
know this. I know what lefsa is, but is this the one that
17:45
looks like a kind of an ornament? People make them and it's like that
17:48
thin kind of a Peter Peter brittle peanut butter brittle. No, I'm very
17:56
familiar with pean't know. I just tell my grandma when she was alive,
17:59
would come over during the holidays and just have a tray of things you've never
18:02
seen before. That's the best. My husband, as a coworker, who
18:04
brings all that over every year, was like, gosh, go to town,
18:10
all right, weatherwise today it is going to be sunny. I have
18:12
about thirty four, and we're moving all the way up to mid forties by
18:15
Christmas. Just crazy bike, get a Manda in the morning, come on,
18:18
get up on Big eighty twenty seven. A little bit of an emotional
18:22
roller course, of course. You know this time of year, like you
18:26
had mentioned, Pike, it's it's tough. You've been going through it.
18:27
I mean, it's just it's not as joyous as everybody sometimes thinks. You
18:32
know, that's just the case. Here with Jenna and her family, and
18:36
she's on the phone right now. Good morning, this is Jenna. Well,
18:38
Jenna, we got an email here from your friend Angie and she let
18:44
us know that this has been probably the toughest year of your life. Yeah,
18:48
Jenna, would you be willing to tell us just kind of what's been
18:52
going on in your life? Sure. October twenty fourth, my husband fell
18:56
in our house and hit his head, ended up passing away. Oh thank
19:03
you. He's only forty, and yeah, it was it's been very difficult,
19:08
and so he was he was he was a donor, so he was
19:11
on life support for three days in the hospital and we were able to spend
19:15
some time with him at the hospital before he before he actually was able to
19:19
donate. So yeah, that was that was almost two months ago. That
19:23
is just so unimaginably unexpected, and I'm sure just traumatizing for you and you
19:29
and you guys have kids, right, we have a nineteen year old and
19:32
my son will we nine actually on Saturday, Oh my gosh, a Christmas
