- 3:04Speaker 7: Ringo celebrating life's little victories every morning we practice gratitude
- 3:13Speaker 7: on Big ninety eight point seven.

- 3:44Speaker 1: limit of half a one. Good on, way to go.
- 3:49Speaker 1: That's a great way to start a Tuesday. Or it's
- 3:52Speaker 1: just nice anytime you can get a couple of those
- 3:54Speaker 1: little things done that you're really just feeling too lazy
- 3:56Speaker 1: to do. To get them done is such a big thing,
- 4:00Speaker 1: just for setting the tone for the day. So way
- 4:02Speaker 1: to go to tea this morning, Angie. Do you have
- 4:04Speaker 1: a little victory today?
- 4:06Speaker 6: I have been waiting for this moment since I was
- 4:10Speaker 6: fourteen years old, and the moment is I tried on
- 4:15Speaker 6: Now that the weather's getting warmer, I tried on a
- 4:20Speaker 6: one piece bathing suit for the first time. My tatas
- 4:27Speaker 6: just fit perfectly in it. So I have yes, big
- 4:32Speaker 6: thank you. I had a breast reduction at the end
- 4:35Speaker 6: of January, and I've been waiting for the moment when
- 4:39Speaker 6: I can finally try on bathing suits and the twins
- 4:42Speaker 6: just fit in the bathing suit and they're not hanging
- 4:45Speaker 6: to the floor, And it finally happened. In fact, I
- 4:49Speaker 6: have like a lot of bathing suit options that I
- 4:52Speaker 6: tried on and they all fit. And I really I
- 4:56Speaker 6: was like crying in.
- 4:58Speaker 1: The mirror because that coming. I feel like I knew
- 5:01Speaker 1: that coming. It's a long time coming for you.
- 5:03Speaker 6: Yes, I was so emotional because that's literally never happened
- 5:06Speaker 6: anytime I ever tried on a bathing suit. It was like, well,
- 5:10Speaker 6: they're scraping the floor, those boobs of yours, Angie. I
- 5:13Speaker 6: don't know what to tell you, right, And so now
- 5:15Speaker 6: it's not And so this summer I'm gonna be outside
- 5:20Speaker 6: in bathing suits.
- 5:21Speaker 1: Well, congratulations, Angie, I'm really thrilled you. Can I tell
- 5:25Speaker 1: you my little victory.
- 5:26Speaker 2: No, I'm just kidding, yess.
- 5:27Speaker 1: I made it here today, like at the same time
- 5:31Speaker 1: I normally come in well before the show, even though
- 5:34Speaker 1: I stayed up until eleven thirty to watch that Minnesota
- 5:37Speaker 1: Wild game. Was what it was such a close, exciting game.
- 5:41Speaker 1: I couldn't shut it off. I was like, you know what,
- 5:43Speaker 1: I'll just watch till the end of the second period
- 5:45Speaker 1: and then I'll listen to it or something like that. Yeah,
- 5:48Speaker 1: I just couldn't. It was too good of a game.
- 5:50Speaker 1: It was too close. Now, sadly the Wild did lose
- 5:53Speaker 1: so this so it didn't even pay off.
- 5:56Speaker 2: Yeah, right, that is terrible.
- 5:59Speaker 6: Yeah, and were you wearing the hat or are you
- 6:01Speaker 6: wearing your Wild hat?
- 6:02Speaker 1: I was laying in my bed watching on my phone
- 6:04Speaker 1: because my wife was well asleep, okay, and I was
- 6:07Speaker 1: trying to be a bit quiet.
- 6:09Speaker 2: So did you have your hat on?
- 6:11Speaker 3: Well, I'm not gonna wear my hat laying in a bed.
- 6:12Speaker 2: This is why they lost.
- 6:13Speaker 3: You're right, this is why they last.
- 6:15Speaker 6: I told you you have to bring the good juju.
- 6:17Speaker 6: You have to wear the hat. When they won, you
- 6:19Speaker 6: were wearing the hat.
- 6:20Speaker 2: Gabe. You are personally responsible for their loss.
- 6:23Speaker 1: I should have went to bed in my birthday suit
- 6:25Speaker 1: and just the hat. That'd be an image right there
- 6:28Speaker 1: on the way we have Ella Langley will have the
- 6:30Speaker 1: tea coming up as well. Here on Big ninety eight
- 6:32Speaker 1: point seven. Can I have one other tiny little victory
- 6:35Speaker 1: as well. Yes, I learned a new joke. It's very short,
- 6:37Speaker 1: it's very quick, and it's very funny. Okay, if you
- 6:40Speaker 1: didn't hear this, A researcher has discovered the exact location
- 6:44Speaker 1: of William Shakespeare's London home, and it took a while
- 6:47Speaker 1: to find because the scholars weren't sure if he lived
- 6:50Speaker 1: in an apartment to be or not to be.
- 6:55Speaker 3: I'm too proud of that yet.
- 6:59Speaker 1: And coming up very soon here the twenty twenty six
- 7:04Speaker 1: Fargo Marathon.
- 7:05Speaker 3: Yes, it's not just the marathon.
- 7:07Speaker 1: There's also going to be the ten k, the five k,
- 7:09Speaker 1: the youth run, the half marathon, all of these things impressive. Yeah,
- 7:15Speaker 1: go out and say, hey, this seems very hard or
- 7:18Speaker 1: it's going to be very hard. I'm gonna try to
- 7:21Speaker 1: accomplish this or work my way up to accomplishing it,
- 7:24Speaker 1: which is just so fantastic and it's almost inspiring to watch.
- 7:27Speaker 6: I'm always impressed with marathon or so this will be
- 7:29Speaker 6: back May twenty ninth and thirtieth. And I know that
- 7:32Speaker 6: we've got Andy who's over on the Bison. He runs
- 7:35Speaker 6: the marathon. Yep, I saw him last year. He offered
- 7:39Speaker 6: to trade me, and I said, maybe politely decline. Yeah,
- 7:45Speaker 6: I know Megan who's on after us, she's also running.
- 7:48Speaker 2: I think she's doing the half marathon. I'm pretty sure.
- 7:51Speaker 2: So yeah, the marathon is the place to be.
- 7:53Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 7:54Speaker 1: And I learned a bunch of things about marathons yesterday, Like,
- 7:57Speaker 1: for example, very few humans do this. Less than one
- 8:01Speaker 1: percent of the world's population will ever run a marathon
- 8:05Speaker 1: in their lifetime.
- 8:06Speaker 2: Oh wow.
- 8:07Speaker 1: And I say this every year. I swear every year
- 8:10Speaker 1: the marathon comes through. I'm like, I need, I'm gonna
- 8:13Speaker 1: run a marathon just so I can say I'm in
- 8:15Speaker 1: the one percent. I'm not gonna do it to challenge
- 8:17Speaker 1: myself or the high of the runners, high.
- 8:21Speaker 3: Or whatever you want to about being in the one percent.
- 8:24Speaker 2: And it's not going to be financial for you. You're
- 8:26Speaker 2: not going to be in that one percent. So this
- 8:28Speaker 2: excess exactly all right?
- 8:31Speaker 1: Well, why is a marathon twenty six point two miles?
- 8:34Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I don't know that, and not just like
- 8:36Speaker 1: a nice round number. Well, the marathon distance it comes
- 8:39Speaker 1: from the nineteen oh eight London Olympics, when organizers extended
- 8:43Speaker 1: the course so the race could start at Windsor Castle
- 8:46Speaker 1: and finish in front of the Royal box.
- 8:50Speaker 2: The uh little that's literally why that.
- 8:52Speaker 1: Is why the runners suffer to twenty six point two
- 8:55Speaker 1: instead of twenty six point zero. There are some other
- 8:57Speaker 1: like urban legends on why the marathon is that that long,
- 9:01Speaker 1: but that's as close to just kind of a fact
- 9:04Speaker 1: as I could find.
- 9:05Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, I have two more.
- 9:06Speaker 1: Most runners they burn through two thousand, six hundred to
- 9:10Speaker 1: three thousand, five hundred galleries running a marathon.
- 9:14Speaker 2: Maybe I should do the marathon.
- 9:15Speaker 3: That is a lot.
- 9:16Speaker 1: And then the world record is insanely fast. The men's
- 9:20Speaker 1: marathon world record is just over two hours. That is
- 9:25Speaker 1: a four minute thirty five second mile. That's incredible. Are
- 9:29Speaker 1: twenty six miles straight?
- 9:32Speaker 3: Twenty wow?
- 9:33Speaker 2: Six six point two that's wowsa.
- 9:36Speaker 3: Yeah, it's incredible. And all right, Angie.
- 9:39Speaker 1: For someone who would potentially right now maybe one day
- 9:44Speaker 1: trained to do a marathon or maybe a half marathon
- 9:47Speaker 1: or a five k whatever I.
- 9:48Speaker 6: Do want to train to do it, I just I
- 9:50Speaker 6: got a restroduction at the beginning of a year, so
- 9:52Speaker 6: recovery has been a bit for me, and so this
- 9:55Speaker 6: year is not my year.
- 9:56Speaker 1: Yeah, And once again, if you're running a marathon. You're
- 9:59Speaker 1: a superher to me, you might as well be Batman.
- 10:01Speaker 1: Yeah right, or batwoman. I have a little game for you, Angie.
- 10:06Speaker 1: Would you rather marathon edition?
- 10:09Speaker 2: Okay?
- 10:10Speaker 3: Angie?
- 10:10Speaker 1: Would you rather run a marathon or have to give
- 10:14Speaker 1: up coffee for a year.
- 10:18Speaker 2: I'll run the marathon. Really, I'm not giving up coffee
- 10:22Speaker 2: for a year. Have you lost your mind?
- 10:25Speaker 3: Fair enough? I didn't have baby.
- 10:26Speaker 2: I can literally I'm on cup three this morning. I
- 10:30Speaker 2: could not.
- 10:31Speaker 3: All right, Angie?
- 10:31Speaker 1: Would you rather sit through a three hour meeting that
- 10:33Speaker 1: could have been an email every week for a month?
- 10:37Speaker 3: Or run a marathon?
- 10:38Speaker 2: Marathon? Marathon?
- 10:40Speaker 3: Okay?
- 10:41Speaker 1: I have two more for you, Angie. Would you rather
- 10:44Speaker 1: be the person who has to assemble all of the
- 10:48Speaker 1: some assembly required furniture with missing instructions or.
- 10:54Speaker 6: Run a marathon brow marathon with the instrument no I
- 10:58Speaker 6: cannot okay.
- 10:59Speaker 1: Finally, would you rather explain to your co host why
- 11:04Speaker 1: you're always wrong for an entire week on the air,
- 11:07Speaker 1: or run a marathon?
- 11:09Speaker 2: I can explain why I'm wrong.
- 11:10Speaker 3: Okay, that'd be the not marathon enough.
- 11:16Speaker 8: In the world of rules in gray areas, one morning
- 11:18Speaker 8: show dares to ask the hard questions.
- 11:21Speaker 3: Is it illegal for a child to wear that much makeup?
- 11:23Speaker 3: Is it legal?
- 11:25Speaker 4: I understand, I.
- 11:25Speaker 6: Understand it's funny as all can get out, but is
- 11:28Speaker 6: it even legal?
- 11:28Speaker 8: On Big ninety eight point seven.
- 11:32Speaker 1: This past weekend, my aunt and uncle were visiting the
- 11:36Speaker 1: FM area. I have a cousin who goes to MSUM
- 11:39Speaker 1: and they had invited my wife and I to brunch
- 11:43Speaker 1: at the frying Pan over in Morehead off of ten.
- 11:46Speaker 2: And fine, I want to go.
- 11:47Speaker 1: Yeah, And a lot of times where I live in
- 11:49Speaker 1: South Fargo, when I want to go to something in Moorhead,
- 11:51Speaker 1: I will go from fifty second kind of get out
- 11:55Speaker 1: of not really out of Fargo, but out of like
- 11:58Speaker 1: the busy part of Fargo. Yeah, and go all the
- 12:01Speaker 1: way over to like sixtieth Okay, and then there's a
- 12:06Speaker 1: roundabout to seventy.
- 12:07Speaker 3: Five, and I'll head it to it yesday. Yeah.
- 12:10Speaker 1: And so if you've ever seen that area, there is
- 12:14Speaker 1: a part where you go from like thirty five, you
- 12:16Speaker 1: go over this bridge and off into the distance a
- 12:19Speaker 1: little bit. There's a fifty five mile an hour speed
- 12:22Speaker 1: limit sign. So I was driving and you know, kind
- 12:25Speaker 1: of speeding up to get to fifty five. By the
- 12:27Speaker 1: time I was at the sign, and I went, well,
- 12:29Speaker 1: wait a second, there's like kind of a little gap there,
- 12:32Speaker 1: like once you get past the bridge and you're out
- 12:34Speaker 1: of like the residential neighborhoods. Could I have gotten pulled over,
- 12:38Speaker 1: you know, one hundred yards back because I technically haven't
- 12:41Speaker 1: got to this sign yet.
- 12:42Speaker 2: So when does does that start?
- 12:44Speaker 1: Fifty five miles an hour or any speed limit sign start?
- 12:49Speaker 1: And what I have learned is speed limit signs here
- 12:52Speaker 1: are basically a very strict now button.
- 12:55Speaker 3: When you reach the sign. That is when the rule starts.
- 12:59Speaker 1: Not when you really yeah, not when you feel ready,
- 13:01Speaker 1: not when the song hits the good part.
- 13:04Speaker 3: It's the same.
- 13:04Speaker 1: If the speed drops, you've got to slow down before
- 13:07Speaker 1: you get there. You can't cruise up, and you're like, oh,
- 13:09Speaker 1: let me just finish this fifty five mile hour stretch
- 13:11Speaker 1: really quick.
- 13:12Speaker 4: Now.
- 13:12Speaker 1: If the speed goes up, it's the exact same thing.
- 13:14Speaker 1: You don't really get to just mash on the gas pedal.
- 13:17Speaker 1: You wait until you get to that sign and then
- 13:21Speaker 1: you can speed up. And here's kind of the fun twist.
- 13:24Speaker 1: New interstate laws kick in on the date they're written,
- 13:28Speaker 1: even if the signs are still mid makeover. Like a
- 13:32Speaker 1: highway renovation that's running behind schedule. Yeah, so if there
- 13:36Speaker 1: is a sign, technically you need to wait until you
- 13:39Speaker 1: get to that sign to either go that speed limit
- 13:43Speaker 1: or you need to be slowing down by the time
- 13:45Speaker 1: you get to the sign.
- 13:46Speaker 6: Okay, this is good to know because I am not
- 13:50Speaker 6: a great driver, and I know I've been doing this wrong.
- 13:54Speaker 1: Yeah, signs are instant, speeding up is delayed, and I
- 13:58Speaker 1: think the only thing that gets to move fast is
- 14:00Speaker 1: kind of the confusion Usually for is it legals, You know,
- 14:02Speaker 1: I try to make them a little bit funnier, have
- 14:05Speaker 1: some jokes in there. But I thought this was actually
- 14:07Speaker 1: very educational because I clearly didn't know the rule. Yeah,
- 14:10Speaker 1: I got over that bridge and you know, there's nothing.
- 14:14Speaker 1: It basically is just a bunch of land and you're like, oh, yeah,
- 14:16Speaker 1: I'm good to speed up. Technically I could have got
- 14:19Speaker 1: pulled over there and got a ticket.
- 14:20Speaker 2: That would have been funny for me.
- 14:24Speaker 1: Have you ever had something negative happened where it turned
- 14:29Speaker 1: around into a positive for you?
- 14:32Speaker 3: And you do see videos like this a lot.
- 14:34Speaker 1: This is another one going viral as Faith and Fad
- 14:38Speaker 1: had an outdoor wedding and this video now is taken
- 14:42Speaker 1: over the internet. It downpoured basically nowhere, and the couple
- 14:48Speaker 1: they just embraced it. They jumped into the lake where
- 14:51Speaker 1: this ceremony was being held and just said, hey, we're
- 14:54Speaker 1: just having a wet wedding, I guess. And that got
- 14:57Speaker 1: me thinking, has something negative ever happened? And you you
- 15:00Speaker 1: know what, we're gonna turn this around, or this happened
- 15:02Speaker 1: because of that, which led to a positive. I know
- 15:05Speaker 1: people with work sometimes sadly they might lose their job
- 15:08Speaker 1: and then they end up in a better, more happy
- 15:11Speaker 1: situation afterwards. Seven oh one two eight zero one nine
- 15:15Speaker 1: eight seven. I actually do have a negative wedding situation
- 15:19Speaker 1: that turned into a positive. Corey and I had our
- 15:22Speaker 1: wedding reception booked or planned or picked out, and about
- 15:27Speaker 1: four to five months before the wedding day, the owners
- 15:31Speaker 1: they sold it to a different couple and the new
- 15:35Speaker 1: owners didn't want to give us the same price as
- 15:38Speaker 1: the previous owners, and we couldn't afford it anymore at
- 15:43Speaker 1: that Yeah, and it jumped like double So it wasn't
- 15:45Speaker 1: like a couple hundred bucks, it was a lot more.
- 15:48Speaker 1: And so we decided to just have it a different
- 15:51Speaker 1: place that Corey had worked at for a little bit,
- 15:54Speaker 1: and we got very lucky. There was a wedding the
- 15:56Speaker 1: night before, and you could pay to have these extra real,
- 16:00Speaker 1: really nice decorations placed in this hotel hall. Yeah, and
- 16:06Speaker 1: we were like, oh, we don't need that, YadA, YadA, YadA. Well,
- 16:08Speaker 1: because of what happened, they said, hey, we know that
- 16:10Speaker 1: one got canceled. We know you're kind of coming here
- 16:12Speaker 1: last minute. There's a wedding the night before. They paid
- 16:16Speaker 1: for him.
- 16:17Speaker 3: We'll just kind of forget him to take We'll forget
- 16:19Speaker 3: to take him down.
- 16:20Speaker 2: Oh my god.
- 16:22Speaker 3: Yeah, that's pretty extravagant.
- 16:24Speaker 1: Setup for our I guess quote unquote second choice.
- 16:28Speaker 3: Yeah, and it worked out really great.
- 16:30Speaker 2: Well, I love that.
- 16:31Speaker 3: It's really funny.
- 16:32Speaker 1: I knew the guy who got married and there the
- 16:34Speaker 1: day before, and a bunch of people like, hey, don't
- 16:36Speaker 1: tell him because he'll be like, hey, you want to
- 16:37Speaker 1: go half oh yeah, And I was like, yeah, I'm
- 16:41Speaker 1: not telling him.
- 16:41Speaker 2: Does he listen to our show? You about to find.
- 16:43Speaker 1: Out right now? Seven oh one two eight zero one
- 16:47Speaker 1: nine eight seven Anthony, have you ever had a negative
- 16:50Speaker 1: that got turned into a positive?
- 16:52Speaker 6: We planned this big barbecue for the entire family, and
- 16:55Speaker 6: when we got a couple of months away from it,
- 16:57Speaker 6: we realized that we didn't have enough money to cover
- 16:59Speaker 6: all the.
- 16:59Speaker 1: Food we needed to five.
- 17:00Speaker 6: So we changed it up and turned it into a
- 17:02Speaker 6: chili contest and people brought a ton of chili inside
- 17:05Speaker 6: and we voted for the best one. It was perfect.
- 17:08Speaker 2: That actually is smart.
- 17:09Speaker 1: That's very smart, Angie. Have you ever had a negative
- 17:12Speaker 1: that turned into a positive?
- 17:14Speaker 6: You know what I did for my kids, and I
- 17:16Speaker 6: feel like there are a lot of parents who have
- 17:18Speaker 6: gone through this situation. My ex and I we are
- 17:21Speaker 6: not together when we split. That's obviously like a major
- 17:24Speaker 6: transition for the kids. And living in separate households. You know,
- 17:28Speaker 6: that's a lot on a child.
- 17:30Speaker 5: So we just made sure to emphasize that that means
- 17:33Speaker 5: double the presence for every holiday, every birthday because mom
- 17:39Speaker 5: and dad aren't going in together for a gift anymore.
- 17:42Speaker 2: You're going to rack.
- 17:43Speaker 5: Up so much cool stuff and they seem to be
- 17:46Speaker 5: happy with it.
- 17:47Speaker 1: Yeah, if you can pay for their love while you
- 17:51Speaker 1: can afford it, exactly some point you're not going to
- 17:54Speaker 1: be able to. Yeah, right, we do have Clarissa on
- 17:56Speaker 1: the phone. Clarissa, what about you? A negative into a positive.
- 18:00Speaker 4: Laid off two years ago, this full panic mode, you know,
- 18:03Speaker 4: crying in my car outside the Starbucks. I started baking
- 18:06Speaker 4: just to not lose my mind, and I posted a
- 18:08Speaker 4: few things online. And now I run a custom take
- 18:11Speaker 4: business out of my apartment. I make more money now
- 18:14Speaker 4: than I did at my stable job. So yeah, unemployments
- 18:18Speaker 4: accidentally fixed my life.
- 18:20Speaker 3: See we're just talking about you.
- 18:22Speaker 2: Never know, if that didn't happen, then this wouldn't happen.
- 18:25Speaker 6: Then you wouldn't be living a happy life.
- 18:32Speaker 1: Do you ever sit down at the dinner table and
- 18:35Speaker 1: you ask your kid how is your day? And you
- 18:37Speaker 1: get the classic response or maybe they walked in the
- 18:40Speaker 1: door door from school, Yeah, how is your day?
- 18:43Speaker 3: What did you learn? And you get the same like
- 18:45Speaker 3: four words? It was fine? Nothing. Yeah, you know, it
- 18:50Speaker 3: happens all the time.
- 18:51Speaker 1: I gave that response to my dad on a regular
- 18:53Speaker 1: basis growing up.
- 18:54Speaker 2: Did I to your dad? Just kidding?
- 18:57Speaker 3: Well?
- 18:58Speaker 1: There was this group of rants online talking about questions
- 19:02Speaker 1: that they ask that actually get their kids to open
- 19:05Speaker 1: up a little bit and have a conversation. And I
- 19:07Speaker 1: can only imagine now how much harder it is with
- 19:11Speaker 1: kids and having cell phones and vrs. Yeah, the distraction
- 19:14Speaker 1: and iPads and all of these things. Growing up, I
- 19:18Speaker 1: just was bored. I had nothing to do other than
- 19:21Speaker 1: I guess I got to talk to dad. I did
- 19:23Speaker 1: have YouTube to sit and watch while I was scarfing
- 19:26Speaker 1: by mc nuggets and French fries. So some of these
- 19:29Speaker 1: questions I thought were really cool and really interesting and
- 19:31Speaker 1: just wanted to share them with you. Some I'm going
- 19:32Speaker 1: to try to adopt and put in the old back
- 19:34Speaker 1: pocket book when baby G is old enough to talk.
- 19:36Speaker 3: And discuss things. Yes, which might not be for a
- 19:39Speaker 3: little bit, but here's a good one.
- 19:41Speaker 1: What was something interesting or weird about your day? Which
- 19:45Speaker 1: is way better than how was your day? This especially,
- 19:48Speaker 1: I can only think of with like, if you have
- 19:50Speaker 1: a young boy or a son, what weird happened today?
- 19:54Speaker 3: That's a million things happened.
- 19:56Speaker 6: Now, Mary, you know what my kid Liam, he told
- 20:01Speaker 6: me a weird thing that happened.
- 20:03Speaker 2: And it's that these these girls at Recess have decided
- 20:07Speaker 2: they're putting on a play which we love here.
- 20:09Speaker 5: And yes, and they cast him as the divorce dad.
- 20:15Speaker 3: Right, and this isn't a school play, right, They're just no, no, they're.
- 20:18Speaker 6: Just doing this at recess, and so when I always
- 20:22Speaker 6: ask him what happened to her?
- 20:24Speaker 2: What interesting thing? What weird thing?
- 20:26Speaker 6: And he said, this is kind of weird and then
- 20:28Speaker 6: told me right, I would have never known that he's
- 20:32Speaker 6: going to play divorce Dad at Recess play, which is
- 20:36Speaker 6: I love the imagination there, that's you know, all right,
- 20:38Speaker 6: here's another one.
- 20:40Speaker 1: What's something that made you laugh recently? And this is
- 20:43Speaker 1: another great one. You never know what little Timmy or
- 20:46Speaker 1: what little Sarah is going to think was so funny
- 20:49Speaker 1: at Recess. Now as the parent, you might think, well,
- 20:51Speaker 1: that guy is kind of uninteresting, but it's interesting to
- 20:55Speaker 1: them exactly.
- 20:56Speaker 3: I have two more for you.
- 20:58Speaker 1: If you could change one thing about school, what would
- 21:02Speaker 1: it be? And this is where they said, like opinions
- 21:04Speaker 1: are conversation gold with kids. Maybe they'll say something very
- 21:09Speaker 1: simple like I wish lunch was longer, I wish we
- 21:11Speaker 1: got to have tacos every single Friday. But they're still
- 21:14Speaker 1: discussing with you, and you get to learn something about
- 21:17Speaker 1: your own kid. And then finally this one I love
- 21:20Speaker 1: because if I was asked this question at eight, I
- 21:22Speaker 1: would have thought I was Bill Gates. If I gave
- 21:24Speaker 1: you one thousand dollars right now, what would you do
- 21:27Speaker 1: with it?
- 21:28Speaker 6: Oh?
- 21:28Speaker 1: It's fun, low pressure question that always gets an answer.
- 21:32Speaker 3: I will never forget.
- 21:34Speaker 1: Love spending money. Yeah, I will never forget sitting around
- 21:37Speaker 1: the dinner table. Growing up, my parents and I we
- 21:40Speaker 1: would all go into like this dream land of what
- 21:43Speaker 1: we'd buy, what we'd do if we ever won the
- 21:46Speaker 1: power ball, and it was the greatest ten minute high ever,
- 21:51Speaker 1: and then life would come crashing down and we'd realize, oh,
- 21:53Speaker 1: we're poor.
- 21:54Speaker 2: You ain't got no money.
- 21:55Speaker 1: It's right, But you can use those today and if
- 21:58Speaker 1: you do, maybe text us responses you get or know
- 22:02Speaker 1: how the conversation went. It's at seven oh one two
- 22:04Speaker 1: eight zero one nine eight seven. But you can borrow
- 22:07Speaker 1: all of those today and let us know how they work.
- 22:12Speaker 6: I something about me is that I'm a bit of
- 22:17Speaker 6: a worrier and I'm paranoid and I'm always concerned.
- 22:22Speaker 1: That hypochondriac or whatever it's called. Well, that's thinking you're sick.
- 22:26Speaker 3: You got that too, Okay, okay.
- 22:29Speaker 6: But yeah, so I'm always concerned about things. And over
- 22:33Speaker 6: the weekend I had family in town. It was my
- 22:35Speaker 6: nephew's fifteenth birthday, so he came to town. I ordered
- 22:39Speaker 6: a cake for him, and we were driving around town
- 22:43Speaker 6: when all of a sudden, I get a phone call
- 22:46Speaker 6: and it said no caller ID. So that's different than
- 22:51Speaker 6: unknown caller. When you get a call on your phone,
- 22:54Speaker 6: it says unknown caller. That's because the carrier can't identify
- 22:57Speaker 6: the number due to technical issues or international respet frictions
- 23:00Speaker 6: or system errors. But when you get a call in
- 23:03Speaker 6: it says no caller ID. That means the caller intentionally
- 23:07Speaker 6: blocked their number. And that feels creepy and weird to me.
- 23:12Speaker 6: Why are you calling me with a blocked number? So
- 23:14Speaker 6: I did not answer. They called back immediately and again
- 23:19Speaker 6: no caller ID, and so that made me anxious, and
- 23:23Speaker 6: I just wanted to answer it, just to see what
- 23:25Speaker 6: it was. But I didn't want to use my normal
- 23:29Speaker 6: voice because I didn't want them to know it was me.
- 23:32Speaker 6: So I answered the phone and I went hullo, and
- 23:38Speaker 6: the person on the other line said hello, and I
- 23:42Speaker 6: said hullo, yes, And then they said we had a
- 23:47Speaker 6: question about the flavor of the cake.
- 23:49Speaker 2: You placed an order at.
- 23:51Speaker 3: Walmart, this poor person, And then I.
- 23:56Speaker 6: Didn't want to then change into my regular vere because
- 24:00Speaker 6: then why did I say hello so aggressively twice? So
- 24:04Speaker 6: then I thought, well I better commit to the bit,
- 24:08Speaker 6: and so I continued, Oh, yes, I did order a cake.
- 24:14Speaker 2: He asked me, oh, is it that you wanted yellow
- 24:17Speaker 2: cake or white cake?
- 24:19Speaker 6: Because the form I said, oh, I didn't fill the
- 24:22Speaker 6: form out. The guy there helped me, but yes, I
- 24:25Speaker 6: would like white cake. And then there's a pause and
- 24:29Speaker 6: she says, is this Angie Moreleis.
- 24:32Speaker 1: This poor like teenage girl trying to help you out
- 24:36Speaker 1: with your cake issue?
- 24:38Speaker 3: And I said, yes, this is Annngie moraleis.
- 24:40Speaker 6: And then as the conversation went, I tried to soften
- 24:43Speaker 6: it and it did not pan out. And when all
- 24:46Speaker 6: was said and done, I ended the conversation with well,
- 24:49Speaker 6: thank you so much, and I hung up, and my
- 24:53Speaker 6: sister and my nephew, my kids are in the car
- 24:55Speaker 6: staring at me what just happened? And I was dying
- 25:01Speaker 6: of laughter. And now I can never like. When I
- 25:03Speaker 6: went to pick up the cake, I had my sister
- 25:05Speaker 6: to be.
- 25:07Speaker 2: Say Hi, I'm an Jay here to pick up my cake. Stupid,
- 25:13Speaker 2: you know what?
- 25:14Speaker 3: That is a story.
- 25:15Speaker 1: I could see how you could get yourself trapped in
- 25:17Speaker 1: that scenario.
- 25:18Speaker 3: Ye did it. You did it. You have no one
- 25:19Speaker 3: to blame but yourself. You did it to yourself.
- 25:21Speaker 2: It's my paranoia that gets.
- 25:23Speaker 8: Me starting off the day with something good. This is
- 25:32Speaker 8: Gabe's good News on Big ninety eight point seven.
- 25:36Speaker 1: Two freshmen at Park Christian School and Morehead, Levi Torgersen
- 25:42Speaker 1: and Zoe vander Vorst are developing an AI powered app
- 25:47Speaker 1: for smart glasses designed to help people with dementia and
- 25:51Speaker 1: their daily lives.
- 25:52Speaker 9: Here's the homepage, so this is where it tells you
- 25:56Speaker 9: the weather for today. Your daily reminders are going to
- 25:58Speaker 9: beyond here, and if you scroll down, it's going to
- 26:00Speaker 9: have an area where we'll tell you who your family
- 26:03Speaker 9: members are, what their jobs are.
- 26:04Speaker 4: We have like three different pages of just ideas and
- 26:07Speaker 4: I think we got most of all of it into
- 26:10Speaker 4: the app.
- 26:11Speaker 1: And this was inspired by their own experiences with dementia
- 26:14Speaker 1: and just people they know in their lives the students.
- 26:17Speaker 1: The students created the project in their free time, earning
- 26:20Speaker 1: recognition as Minnesota's entry in the Presidential AI Challenge. Well,
- 26:26Speaker 1: the technology isn't fully supported by metaglasses yet. The duo
- 26:30Speaker 1: plans to keep improving the app, including making its AI
- 26:33Speaker 1: more personalized.
- 26:35Speaker 3: For users. Two kids are really going out and doing it.
- 26:39Speaker 6: This is what AI should be used for this.
- 26:43Speaker 2: I'm so impressed with these kids.
- 26:46Speaker 3: AI a powerful tool for good and for bad.
- 26:48Speaker 1: And whenever it can be used for good or to
- 26:50Speaker 1: help people who could really use it, we're always going
- 26:52Speaker 1: to be for them. The world is full of nice people.
- 26:55Speaker 1: If you can't find one, you gotta be one. And
- 26:57Speaker 1: don't forget broken crayons. They still color
