• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Been reading spicy novels, I swear to God for ten years,
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: which is strangely, honest, strangely how long we've been together.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: So I don't know what that says about me. You
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: know what I'm saying.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Well, I have learned that thirty eight percent, so four
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: out of ten, four out of ten women fantasize their
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: partner to be a character from the book. Oh do
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: you think do you think this would be true? I
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: am not one of those women. Okay, so you're one
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: of the six who doesn't, then the six who don't,
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: and then finally more than a third, so about thirty
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: five percent fantasize the book's hero in bed you dirty
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: birdies out here?
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, that makes me sad. I do not
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: do that either, but I do read a steamy book
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: like I do enjoy.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: You know, I always joke with Corey. You know, not
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: a character from the book. I don't want to be
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: this guy with wings and horns growing out of his head.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: You just pretend on Brad Pitt or something different.
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: Kinds of steamy novels.
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: I know that there are some where they're like centaurs
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: or something.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think what's that called a court of thorns
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: and roses?
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: And you're never going to be able to compare with
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: a centaur, I'll give you that.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: So we asked on a Big ninety eight point seven's
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Facebook page, what steamy book are you reading right now?
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: And rate it on the steamy scale of one to five.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: We'll have five being like you're in a steam room
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: and one is like a cold bath.
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: Okay, no, because they're still steam.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: Steam is like steam with cold water.
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying. That's why.
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: But it's a steamy book, so it can't be the
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: one still has to have some steam.
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: It's like if you boiled the spaghetti. No, you boil
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: the water for spaghetti and you put your face over
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: the pot.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: That's the steam, and I love this.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: First right out the gate, we have Tracy and this
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: man said the hobbit eleven those feet, which I love.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: I think he's joking, except for there are some people.
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: There are some people.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: Kayla gave us quicksilver and it has four hot pepper emojis.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Oh excellent, five and a measure of mayhem was her
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: second suggestion. And this one had a stop sign, So
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna assume that's like a one.
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: I think maybe it was billed as a steamy book
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: and then she read it and it was like, this.
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: Was not it.
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah, maybe I like that, Kim said, King Maker Series
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: three Chili Peppers point five.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Okay, hold on, it's getting steamy this morning. I'm big
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: ninety eight point seven. Let me get this, Angie. Are
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: you reading a steamy book right now?
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: You know what I read? Not right now.
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: That's why I'm looking at this list that our listeners
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: have compiled, because thank you. I read one, the last
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: one I read, and I was so disappointed that I
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: kind of was like, I'm not even gonna try another one.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: For a while.
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: It is called Black Ties and White Lies, and technically
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: it was a steamy book. There was several There were
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: several steamy moments. The issue is I think that sometimes
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: authors get caught up and trying to use too many
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: synonyms for things so it doesn't sound repetitive, and it's
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: like that synonym is not how I would describe that
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: particular thing, and it takes you out of it.
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: Do not, Gabe, Do not gabe?
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: No.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: Could you give us an example?
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: I cannot give you an example because I would like
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: to keep my job.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: Okay, Well, we have got a huge list of these
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: spicy books on Big ninety eight point seven that if
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: you are interested in you can check them out. We
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: have Soul of a Witch with four pepper emojis, Ali said,

  Speaker 1: fri day, morning and weekend.
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: My boyfriend Mikey has officially adopted my sense of humor
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: and it served him well during a group project yesterday.
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: So he's a teacher and right now they're doing all
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: of their back to school stuff that does not include
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: the kids, so a lot of trainings and stuff, and
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: so they get separated into these groups and at one
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: point everyone has a different task and then at one
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: point one of the other teachers in the group was like, Hey,
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: I'm working on this thing.
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: Please don't think that I'm not.
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: And then it got quiet, and then Mikey said, no, I'm.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Mad, yeah, which sounds exactly like Angie. I actually can't
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: even count the number of times I've heard that. Yeah,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Angie has her like four go tos, and that's one
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: of them.
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: That's one of them.
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: But it got a laugh, It got a laugh, and
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: so he was really excited. He's more of an introvert
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: than I am, where very opposites attract, and so I
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: just thought it was really sweet.
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: He texted me to like tell me like I had
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: an Angie moment. Yeah, And that made me feel really good.
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: I always do that because I feel like it helps
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: me gauge what kind of person you are. So someone
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: apologizes for something, I will go no, I'm mad, just
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: as like a joke. And sometimes people are like hah,
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: And then sometimes they look at me like shut up, stupid,
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: And then I know which one is my people and
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: which one never wants to speak to.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: Me again, which one to avoid?
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, right on my little victory today, It has been nice.

• 7:59
  Speaker 1: of my shift. I guess with the kid, and I'm

• 8:20
  Speaker 2: Summer time.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: I know it gets a little scary when you look
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: at the calendar in late August, but it is August
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: twenty first, Palla, If I'm not mistaken, I just realized this.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: I think fall is officially one month away. I think
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: it's the sept twenty second or twenty first, something like that.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: So fall is sadly knocking on the door here, which means,
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: if there is something you have wanted to do during
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: the summer this year, you have about a month to
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: do it.
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: Do you have a last hurrah?
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: Do you have a last hurrah? You want to get done?
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: You know, so this summer, whether it's before school starts
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: or you yourself, you know you want to maybe you're
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: not in school, but there's something I gotta get this
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: done before summer. I really want to go see this
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: or do this or experience this. While the weather is
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: in the seventies and eighties. Let us know, it's seven
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: oh one two eight zero one nine eight seven. Do
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: you have a last hurrah you're trying to accomplish, Angela.
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: I'm just trying to get the kids to do some
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: fun stuff before the school year starts.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: You just got like a slew of things you're trying, Yeah.
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: A slew of things.
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: So one of the things that we're gonna go do
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: is go to Rope and Oak Nature Park.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah.
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: A friend of mine just alerted me to this, and
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: it's like it's got so many things, like a petal
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: roller coaster situation, like a tree net trampoline, like a
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: whole fleugh of things for kids to do, basically to
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: touch grass, and so we're gonna try to do that.
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: I'm trying to think of what I personally want to
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: do as my last summer hurrah before the kid are
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: in school and schedules get like extremely busy, So I'm
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: open to suggestions. We did post this on the Big
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: ninety eight points. I've in Facebook page two what is
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: your last hurrah before summer ends? And Shanna took a
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: trip to Spain.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: Very cool.
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: I think I'm cutting it too close to back my
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: bags and go to Spain, but that's amazing.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: Very cool last to rah, Randy said the Minnesota Renaissance Festival, which,
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: if I'm not I'm if I'm not mistaken, I think
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: is one of the biggest like renaissance festivals there is.
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: That's really dope and Renaissance Festival.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I would have to double check that, but that
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: thing is huge. I know that I've been there a
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: couple times growing up.
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: I thought this was funny, Melissa said, every year before
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: school starts, I'm a teacher, I watch Billy Madison.
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: And drink an adult beverage.
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: And I just feel like that should be a tradition
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: for all teachers.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: They they shouldn't go back to school.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: They should invite teachers to the auditorium and all of
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: them experience that together.
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, that's a genius idea, the team building
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: moment for a moment.
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: Last Hurrah, except I I don't.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: Think they could have adult beverages in the auditorium.
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: KI, Well, then they just got to find a different venue,
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: go to have a lot event center for the final
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: teacher last Hurrah.
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: Before they go back to school.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: That's a fabulous answer. I don't know if I have
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: a ton of last hurrahs. We just have a one
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: month Hurrah that we try to make every day and
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: we try to get through every day with Yeah. Well
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: she is wonderful, but there's not a whole lot of
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: things that Corey and I can just go do right now.
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah, So I feel that because I feel like you
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: gotta get a round of golf in, don't.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, at some point, Well, I'll have one I have
• 11:46

• 11:49
  Speaker 1: I do have a bachelor party coming up in September.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a.
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: Perfect last hurrah and it includes golfing.

  Speaker 1: summer cut off. Yeah, and Corey will be alone, well
• 12:03

• 12:05
  Speaker 1: but Corey, that'll kind of be my first experience away
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: from daughter. But it will be a great time. So
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: I do have a last Truly, I'm glad we brought

  Speaker 1: this up this morning because I kind of forgot all
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: about that. There is something Angie said yesterday that was
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: the most outrageous thing I have ever heard her say
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: in the history of the world. Please, please Lord, we
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: are all going to be annoyed at Angie today. If
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: your day is ruined, it is because of Angie coming
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: to work today. If anything is going wrong in your life,
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: it is likely because our sweet, loving Angie is.
• 12:43

  Speaker 1: who we care about and we appreciate all of her
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: hard work.

  Speaker 4: kind of a nightmare. I just am not used to
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: it anymore. And before Mikey was in my life.
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: How's a strong independent woman.
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: But yeah, I just really got so spoiled, and I'm
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: not ready. I didn't even get to be weaned off
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: of the being spoiled. It was just like, okay, and
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: now here's my first day of work. And so it's
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: been only when did he start once?
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: Today? It's only been like two days, four days.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: You had to go cold turkey from passenger princess.
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, oh, it hasn't even three. He started on Wednesday. Oh,
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: this is bad.
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: I am a nightmare. Okay, you know what if you
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: did listen right now and think, wow, what a whiny
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: braddy baby idiot?
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: Correct? Yeah, you know what.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: Correct, there is some lady Angie who has had to
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: put gas in two cars this week. You haven't done
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: it since June of twenty twenty.
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: The worst, I'm the worst.
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: This is am I the problem.
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: It's me.
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: The problem is me.
• 15:57
  Speaker 5: We'll hear one side of the story and with your
• 15:59
  Speaker 5: hell how we decide if it's right or if maybe
• 16:04
  Speaker 5: you're the problem.
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: That's right, I am the problem. On Big ninety eight
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: point seven booth.
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: Side, are you on? Mom or Dad?
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: Hi?
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: Big ninety eight point seven. My name is Mary.
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: I'm emailing you because my husband is making me feel
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: guilty for getting our sixteen year old son a job
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: without asking him if he wanted one. It just happened
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: so fast, and I felt it was a great opportunity
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: for our son. A girlfriend of mine told me she
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: needed help in her little gift shop with cleaning and stalking,
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: and my son is always asking for pocket money, so
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: this just made sense for me to set it up.
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: My husband thinks this was the wrong choice and thinks
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: I should cancel.
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: On my friend. Our son does know and he's unhappy with.
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: My decision, but I think he should just give it
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: a shot, at least for a couple months. My husband
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: thinks because I did this behind our son's back, he
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: has the right to turn it down. Would love your perspective.
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: What are your first thoughts, Gabe.
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: I feel like there's a lot behind this story that
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: maybe we're not getting the full version of it. But okay,
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: I try to think back to when I was sixteen,
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: if my mom would have got a job for me
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: without really telling me how, I would have felt. Yeah,
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: And it's hard to go back that far because yeah,
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: I would have been kind of nice, like, oh, yeah,
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: I can make some money. But I also don't know
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: if I would have loved her being like, hey, this
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: is your job, this is what you're going to do now.
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: Right, You wanted to have the autonomy to choose.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: Maybe having a little bit of a choice, you know. Yeah,
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: it's hard to tell because who knows. Maybe they've been
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: talking about him getting a job for forever, building up
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: and learning a little responsibility, and the mom was just going, hey,
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: here's an opportunity. I'm not going to turn it down
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: because we have it right now. We never know if
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: we'll get another one. Yeah, So I don't know if
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: it's hard. It is tough for me to justify going
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: and getting your kid a job behind his back, though,
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: and then telling him, hey, you're going to work on Tuesday.
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: I don't know if I love that.
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: What are your thoughts? Seven oh one two eight zho
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: one nine eight seven. We also have this up on
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: the Big ninety eight point seven facebook page. I think
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: I am in the minority. I think this was the
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: wrong choice. I do not think that he should have
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: to go to work. She chose this job for him,
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: But I'm going to go a step further, and I
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: don't necessarily think unless the kid really wants to I
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: don't think parents should be telling their kids that they
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: need to get a part time job when they're teenagers.
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: And I know that that is an unpopular opinion, but
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: in my head, like I have an almost sixteen year old,
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: I think that childhood is such a short season that
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: I want the kids to just focus on school and
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: being a kid, and I don't think it's necessary for
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: the part time job to factor in there.
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: I just don't.
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: I didn't work when I was a teenager, and I
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: think I got to have a lot more fun experiences
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: than kids I went to school with that had to
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: miss a lot of stuff because I have to. I
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: have to go to work. I have my part time job.
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: I have to go to work, and I just don't.
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: I don't agree with that, and I know I'm in
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: the minority, So I'll leave it up to you. Give
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: us a call text us seven oh one two, eight
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: oh one nine eight seven.
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: What would you do in this situation?
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: Are you on mom's side or dad's side?
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: I'm on the problem it.
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: Mary got her son a job behind.
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: His back and a little bit of a caveat.
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: Yes, and now her husband is saying, I don't think
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: our son should have to take that job because he
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: didn't get to choose if he wanted to do that job,
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: and she thinks he should do it for a couple months.
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: He's always asking for pocket money?
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: Why not?
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: What's the harm? But she is feeling a little guilty.
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: That's why she wrote into us. What are your thoughts gave?
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: You think that she shouldn't have done this?
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: I feel like there's a bit of a backstory here somewhere,
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: like is he constantly asking for money to go do things?
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: Has he been talking to his parents about wanting to
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: get a job. I feel like there's a little more
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: details to this where I could really make an opinion,
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: But right now, I would like to think at sixteen,
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: you could maybe pick where you wanted to work. So
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: I think getting a job and being this is what
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: you're gonna do maybe not the best way to go
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: about it. Because if my mom wanted to tell me
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: to do anything when I was sixteen years old, I'd
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: have been like, no.
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: That's the big I think that as teenagers they want autonomy,
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: and so a lot of people are agreeing that.
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: A part time job is a good idea.
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: Nikki said he's definitely old enough to get a job
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: and earn his own spending money. But I think he
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: should be able to choose where he would like to work.
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: Susan also said, I agree having a part time job
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: is a good idea, but I would have talked to
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: your son about it before agreeing to a specific one,
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: maybe suggest trying this one or applying for something that
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: is more up his alley. So I think everyone, gosh,
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: everyone is in the bow of yes, part time job,
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: good for this kid. But where you made the mistake
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: was choosing the job for him. So I think he
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: should turn it down.
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: He should have the.
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: Option to turn it down, but then look for another job.
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: If they really want him to have a job, then
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: be like, Okay, you don't have to do this one,
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: but you better get on the grind and find a job.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we're gonna look up five or ten jobs you
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: could do and we'll apply together. We'll apply together, and yeah,
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: I think when you're sixteen, you know. I don't know
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: if this kid has his license, but he is able
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: to get a license. In theory, if you're able to
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: operate and make your own choices in a vehicle on
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: the highway, I think you know, for crying out loud.
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: You should be able to pick where you work.
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I just well I was out voted. I guess
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: I am team no job during.
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Angie doesn't care whether you pick the job or not.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: She's just saying, zero job, period.
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: Zero job.
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: I think childhood is such a short season, focus on
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: school and being a kid, and then you know. But
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: because I've I have that choice with my kids. If
• 22:23
  Speaker 4: Aiden wanted to get a job, I would not stop
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: him from getting a job. But if he doesn't want
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: a job, I fully support that and then have accepted. Okay, Well,
• 22:32
  Speaker 4: then when he wants to go out with his friends
• 22:34
  Speaker 4: or do something, I have to foot the bill. And
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: that is fine by me because that's what I decided.
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: But in this case, overwhelmingly everyone Mary thinks, yes, your
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: kid part time job, but you gotta let him choose
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: which one on his own.
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: Today's Variety Big ninety eight point seven, It's Gabe, It's Angie,
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: Sunshine and eighty six Today. Has something insane ever happened
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: to you on your way to work? Or have you
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: seen anything happen on your way to work? I go
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: to work pretty early in the morning. Angie goes to
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: work pretty early in the morning, like a lot of
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: other people. When it is, you know, four forty five,
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: four fifty about when I leave my house. I don't
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: want anything crazy to happen. I just want to sit
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: there in silence, take my little ten to fifteen minute
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: car ride, and just ease on into my day. I
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: don't need to hit a deer at four fifty in
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: the morning. Okay, that would be my worst nightmare. I
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: don't even know how I'd continue on with the day.
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: I might just call and tell you that I died. Yeah, sorry, Angie,
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: I died. I'll be back tomorrow.
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: Well, thankfully, on your way to work today, nothing happened
• 23:43
  Speaker 4: to you.
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: It was wonderful.
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: On my way to work today, I experienced what I
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: think is a bad omen. So the thing is up
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: until Wednesday of this week, my man Mikey would always
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: drive me to work and pick me up because I
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: don't like driving. It's a nice way for us to
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: spend a little bit of extra time together in the morning,
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: and we just like it.
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: But now he's working boom and so I have had
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: to start driving to Dah.
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: I have had to start driving myself to work, and
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: so this morning I get into my car, which Mikey
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: does park the car for me in the garage so
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: that I can't it's so pathetic, so that I can
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: easily get out. He backs in so that I can
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: easily get out because he has a big old truck
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: that is in the driveway and I'm just not a
• 24:33
  Speaker 4: great driver. I get in the car, I hit the
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: garage up the garage door opener.
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: The thing is going boo U.
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: And what do I see but this huge figure just
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: kind of hunched over a smaller thing and I can't
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: quite make out what it is because it is still
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: dark when I leave the house. Yep, And I thought, hmm,
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: this is weird. But sometimes like trash cans just be
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: in the street, and trashy was yesterday. Yes, I thought,
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: maybe there's just one in the middle of the street.
• 25:06
  Speaker 4: I turn on my car. The headlights shine on this figure.
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: This is the most horrifying thing I've ever seen. Important
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: to know I have a very real deep fear or nithophobia,
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: a deep fear of birds. What is illuminated. And I
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: did not know they were this big, a huge owl
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: with a duck in its mouth. This owl was trying
• 25:35
  Speaker 4: to feast on a duck Gabe that straight from a
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: horror movie that I dreamed up. And so I'm thinking,
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: what is gonna happen when I inch forward in my
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: car going down this driveway? But I had to go
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: to work, so I slowly start driving down.
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: About you in a car and you're driving slowly, Yes.
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: It's horrible.
• 25:58
  Speaker 4: And then the owl, I guess notices and the wingspan
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: on this thing was nightmarish and just big wing flap
• 26:12
  Speaker 4: still with the poor duck in its mouth, and he
• 26:16
  Speaker 4: just flies across to the neighbor's yard and lands with
• 26:21
  Speaker 4: the duck. But I think, and then I'm just now
• 26:23
  Speaker 4: trying to speed out of my neighborhood, and with all
• 26:26
  Speaker 4: of the car noise and the headlights and whatever, I
• 26:29
  Speaker 4: think the owl was just like, this is not worth it.
• 26:31
  Speaker 4: So he left the duck flew away, The duck waddled away,
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: and I think I saved a duck. But that positive
• 26:40
  Speaker 4: span that was traumatizing, and I one hundred percent don't
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: think it would have happened had Mikey just taken me
• 26:46
  Speaker 4: to work.
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that sounds like one of those scenes in a
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: TV show where the person starts the car garage comes
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: up headlights turn on. You see what you see and
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: you are afraid of birds? Yes, and this is a
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: double bird situation. Yes, I'm kind of surprised you didn't.
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: Just you know, today's not today. Shut the car off,
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: garage doorgo shut, and you just walk back in the house.
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: The thought crossed my mind, But I don't have any
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: PTO left, all right?
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: Seven oh one two eight zero one, nine eighty seven.
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: Have you ever seen something pretty either strange or wild
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: on your way to work in the morning, Or what
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: crazy thing has happened to you on your way to work?
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: Maybe you want a bunch of money from us here
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: at Big ninety eight point seven, and you still remember
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: it to this day. Let us know at seven oh
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: one two eight zero one, nine eighty seven.
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: I need some.
• 27:32
  Speaker 5: Good starting off the day with something good. This is
• 27:38
  Speaker 5: Gabe's good news on Big ninety eight point seven.
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: There is some good news brewing if you see what
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: I did there. In downtown Fargo, Bab's Coffee House is
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: getting a new home, moving into the historic Ford Building
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: on North Broadway. The longtime Fargo coffee shop has been
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: serving the community since two thousand and two, and the
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: owner shop says this move gives BABS a fresh start
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: in a really cool piece of Fargo history. The main
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: Avenue location is closing, but BABS isn't going anywhere. They're
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: just moving a few blocks north. So if your morning
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: routine includes coffee, the good news is your caffeine supply
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: is still safe. I think that is I think this
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: is great if a place can maybe get in a
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: different location, maybe get a little more foot traffic, anything
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: to help improve what they're doing. And it's in downtown,
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: which always has a ton of people moving and shaking
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: in in Fargo here, I think this is really cool.
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: And if they're excited, I'm excited for them. And never
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: forget my favorite quote to the world is full of
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: nice people. If you can't find one, b one and
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: also broken crans, never forget they still color
