0:46
Speaker 4: No, you got to get the skincare right.
0:48
Speaker 1: Yeah.
0:48
Speaker 2: There were some kids asking for air pods. Okay, that's
0:52
Speaker 2: not for school. Seems we're like a birthday or Christmas
0:55
Speaker 2: not for school. Yeah, so this reminded me there was
0:59
Speaker 2: this time I was in it was kindergartener, first grade,
1:02
Speaker 2: where my mom and dad took me to Cole's just
1:05
Speaker 2: doing a little tiny back to school shopping. You know,
1:07
Speaker 2: They're like, hey, we'll let you get maybe a shirt,
1:09
Speaker 2: some pants and you can look good on the first
1:10
Speaker 2: day of school. Yeah, and then you go back to
1:12
Speaker 2: looking like the scrub you normally look like, okay, well
1:14
Speaker 2: you are the middle child.
1:15
Speaker 1: That's right.
1:16
Speaker 2: And so we get to Cole's and there was this
1:19
Speaker 2: like fleece vest. I had to have it. I have
1:25
Speaker 2: no idea why. It was screaming my name. It was
1:29
Speaker 2: like when you walk in and you know, all the
1:32
Speaker 2: lights dim around and there's the one shiny glow light.
1:35
Speaker 2: Yeah on this vest. And I had to have it.
1:38
Speaker 2: And my parents were like, absolutely not, you do not
1:41
Speaker 2: need this vest right now. It is ninety degrees outs. Well,
1:45
Speaker 2: I did not love that answer. When I was in kindergartener,
1:47
Speaker 2: first grade or whatever it was, and through a bit
1:49
Speaker 2: of a tantrument of coles and so my parents walked
1:52
Speaker 2: me on out of coals with nothing.
1:54
Speaker 1: I got shots that you get or don't get.
1:57
Speaker 2: I felt that was like my first recollection to my
2:00
Speaker 2: dad kind of yelling at me. He didn't yell at me,
2:02
Speaker 2: but we got to the car and he was like, well,
2:04
Speaker 2: I'll never experience that again. So if that ever happens,
2:08
Speaker 2: we just won't take you anywhere ever. And so I
2:10
Speaker 2: never really threw a tan well, I'm sure I did,
2:12
Speaker 2: but I never threw a tantrum like that one.
2:14
Speaker 3: Do you think you go to heel your heart to
2:16
Speaker 3: get a vest like that? Now?
2:19
Speaker 2: No, I got plenty of vests now, okay, I'm good
2:21
Speaker 2: on I'm good on the western front.
2:23
Speaker 1: You see what I did there? I hate seven one
2:28
Speaker 1: two eight zero one nine eight seven.
2:30
Speaker 2: Have you ever had some back to school shopping experiences
2:32
Speaker 2: where little Timmy or little Sarah asked for something and
2:35
Speaker 2: you were like, what does this have to do with school?
2:37
Speaker 1: You you're just shopping now?
2:39
Speaker 4: Yeah, well you just you got to shoot your shot.
2:41
Speaker 1: Yeah.
2:41
Speaker 2: If you don't ask, you never know. Yeah, that's that
2:43
Speaker 2: ever happened with you and Liam or Aidan? Have you
2:45
Speaker 2: Do you ever remember doing some.
2:46
Speaker 1: School shopping like this is not a folder?
2:49
Speaker 3: Well, we were school shopping once ages ago. It was
2:53
Speaker 3: Aiden was in elementary school, and oh, I think I was.
2:56
Speaker 4: Pregnant with Liam, so I really didn't have a lot
2:58
Speaker 4: of patience.
3:00
Speaker 3: And Aiden was insistent that he needed a sparkly purse,
3:04
Speaker 3: and I was like, for what right, And.
3:06
Speaker 4: He's like, it's sparkly, it's cool. Okay, yeah, but you
3:09
Speaker 4: need a backpack. That purse is not gonna hold your books, yes, sir.
3:14
Speaker 3: And he just was like obsessed with this sparkly purse.
3:18
Speaker 3: And no, he did not get it. But I had
3:20
Speaker 3: a sparkly person at home, so he played with that.
3:22
Speaker 4: But it was fine. Like it's because if you take
3:25
Speaker 4: your kids shopping with you, there's a thing where in
3:28
Speaker 4: their brain it's not four back to school.
3:30
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're just shooting.
3:31
Speaker 4: If you say that, it.
3:32
Speaker 3: Is, so they're just gonna they're gonna shoot their shot
3:34
Speaker 3: and they're gonna try to get whatever they can.
3:37
Speaker 4: Yeah.
3:37
Speaker 2: In the order of importance for back to school backpack folders, notebooks,
3:41
Speaker 2: they probably take precedent over sparkly.
3:44
Speaker 4: Purse, Sparkly purpose.
3:45
Speaker 2: Seven oh one two eight zero one nine eight seven.
3:49
Speaker 2: It looks like we have Ryan on the phone. Ryan,
3:50
Speaker 2: what's your kid ask for?
3:51
Speaker 5: My child is requesting a mini karaoke machine for back
3:54
Speaker 5: to school because apparently pencils and notebooks in the backpack
3:58
Speaker 5: just aren't enough. I'm not sure how that's going to
4:01
Speaker 5: help with nap homework, but at least they'll be prepared
4:04
Speaker 5: for the school talent show.
4:05
Speaker 1: I guess he's right.
4:06
Speaker 4: Oh, that really caught me off. Of all the things.
4:09
Speaker 2: Yeah, it sounds like Ryan's kid isn't back to school shopping.
4:11
Speaker 2: They're back to American idols shop.
4:13
Speaker 4: Yes, and that's time by me.
4:15
Speaker 1: Yeah, I get it for him. Renee, what about you?
4:18
Speaker 6: My son asked for a label maker so he can
4:20
Speaker 6: put his name.
4:21
Speaker 5: On literally everything.
4:23
Speaker 6: He's tired of people stealing his pencil.
4:26
Speaker 3: I love this, Okay, Yeah, I mean obviously get that
4:29
Speaker 3: for him.
4:29
Speaker 4: That's an important that's a necessity. I'm adding it to
4:32
Speaker 4: my list.
4:33
Speaker 1: You know what's funny. I used a label maker.
4:35
Speaker 2: I had someone in the building use a label maker
4:37
Speaker 2: to label my headphones with my name on the side
4:40
Speaker 2: of it. So get this label maker. I think there's
4:43
Speaker 2: no excuse not to. At this point, I don't have.
4:46
Speaker 4: My name on my side of my headphone.
4:51
Speaker 1: This is am I the problem.
4:53
Speaker 4: It's the problem.
4:57
Speaker 3: It's me.
4:58
Speaker 7: We'll hear one side of the story, and with your help,
5:01
Speaker 7: am I the problem with you? Decide if it's right
5:03
Speaker 7: or if maybe you're the problem.
5:06
Speaker 1: I'm hardly the problem. On Big ninety eight point.
5:08
Speaker 3: Seven, all right, we got this from Christina, Hi, gab
5:14
Speaker 3: and Angie. I'm Christina and I'm going through it with
5:16
Speaker 3: my roommate who I've only had for six months, she
5:19
Speaker 3: hasn't paid for cable and internet this whole time. She
5:23
Speaker 3: pays her part of the rent on time and she cleans,
5:26
Speaker 3: so that's good. But whenever I ask about the internet,
5:29
Speaker 3: she doesn't have it and promises to start paying it
5:31
Speaker 3: the next month, and it never happens. But she's still
5:34
Speaker 3: using the Wi Fi and my streaming services. My brother
5:38
Speaker 3: told me I should log out of all streaming services
5:41
Speaker 3: and change the Wi Fi password until she pays, but
5:45
Speaker 3: I'm worried that will cause more problems than it solves.
5:47
Speaker 3: Like I said, she pays rent on time and clean,
5:50
Speaker 3: so is there some other way I can get her.
5:52
Speaker 4: To pay without being petty?
5:54
Speaker 3: We also posted this to the big ninety eight points
5:56
Speaker 3: I've in Facebook page if you want to chime in,
5:59
Speaker 3: or you can text her seven O one two eight
6:01
Speaker 3: one nine eight seven.
6:03
Speaker 4: I live for petty, and I don't.
6:07
Speaker 3: Think that it's even petty for her to do that.
6:10
Speaker 3: I think you got to prove a point, Christina. I
6:13
Speaker 3: think that's definitely what your brother is correct.
6:17
Speaker 4: I've changed the password for less honestly.
6:20
Speaker 1: Yeah, don't you an pass? Or you changed? I did?
6:25
Speaker 3: I had a girlfriend, I mean, is one of my
6:27
Speaker 3: best friends. But she flaked on the finale party I
6:31
Speaker 3: was throwing for Game of Thrones. This is ridiculous, but
6:35
Speaker 3: she had she had acted the entire time like she
6:37
Speaker 3: was gonna go. She was even doing that thing where
6:39
Speaker 3: it's like, oh, and then what should I bring? And
6:42
Speaker 3: uh for the cosplay. I think I'm gonna address as
6:45
Speaker 3: like she was doing everything and then flaked out, And
6:48
Speaker 3: I just had a feeling she was going to but
6:50
Speaker 3: she was using my HBO. So right before the series finale,
6:54
Speaker 3: I locked out and changed the password so she couldn't
6:58
Speaker 3: watch it.
6:59
Speaker 4: Yeah, which is petty and horrible some friend. Yeah, No,
7:04
Speaker 4: we're good now. Listen.
7:05
Speaker 3: That stemmed from a lot of other stuff and whatever.
7:08
Speaker 3: All that to say, I did prove my point and
7:12
Speaker 3: we're still friends. So I think it is fine. Roove
7:15
Speaker 3: your point. Log out of all the things, log out
7:17
Speaker 3: of the Wi Fi, like she has to pay.
7:19
Speaker 4: What is the issue that she can't pay?
7:21
Speaker 2: Well, I do think this is pretty easy in the
7:24
Speaker 2: sense if it's not like this roommate has a leg
7:26
Speaker 2: to stand on if you log out of the Wi
7:28
Speaker 2: Fi and everything else and she all of a sudden realized, Wow,
7:31
Speaker 2: I'm using a lot of phone data. I'm not on
7:33
Speaker 2: the WiFi. Yeah, what's she gonna do? I mean, really,
7:37
Speaker 2: what's she gonna do? How is how is there an
7:39
Speaker 2: argument to come back at it saying like I need
7:42
Speaker 2: the Wi Fi passwords? She knows she's not paying it.
7:44
Speaker 2: When you are not paying your portion of any bill
7:47
Speaker 2: or whatever.
7:48
Speaker 4: When you get with you're so aware, you are more.
7:51
Speaker 2: Than aware that it's like, oh god, I really got
7:53
Speaker 2: to get this person the sixty bucks or the one
7:56
Speaker 2: hundred dollars or whatever.
7:58
Speaker 1: Yeah, just change the password.
7:59
Speaker 2: And a very calm discussion of just saying like, hey,
8:03
Speaker 2: you can't use the internet until you pay your share
8:05
Speaker 2: of it.
8:06
Speaker 1: What's she gonna do? Yell at you?
8:08
Speaker 2: I mean, that's when you can calmly just leave the room.
8:10
Speaker 2: You're one thousand percent in the right now. I probably
8:13
Speaker 2: would never change the password. I just kind of wouldn't care,
8:16
Speaker 2: to be honest.
8:17
Speaker 3: Oh well I'm petty and so I would care. What
8:19
Speaker 3: do you think seven oh one to two, eight h
8:21
Speaker 3: one nine eight seven. Does she go the rote of
8:24
Speaker 3: changing the passwords or do you just kind of let
8:27
Speaker 3: it slide and hope for the best.
8:29
Speaker 1: Yeah, because if you do let it slide.
8:30
Speaker 2: Some people would say, well, you're kind of like enabling
8:32
Speaker 2: or to Yeah, sort of just get away with this.
8:34
Speaker 2: When I was young, in my young twenties, as a
8:37
Speaker 2: twenty one to twenty two year old radio guy, I
8:39
Speaker 2: live with one of my best friends in the world.
8:40
Speaker 2: His name is Tyler Larkin. He had the electric bill
8:44
Speaker 2: in his name, and when he would like pay the
8:47
Speaker 2: electric bill, he just be like, Hey, when you got
8:48
Speaker 2: the sixty bucks or eighty bucks or whatever it is,
8:51
Speaker 2: can you get it to me and pay that half.
8:53
Speaker 2: And of course I was twenty one and had zero money,
8:57
Speaker 2: so I'd be like, I got your Friday. Yeah, check
9:00
Speaker 2: would come in, you would get them right the second
9:03
Speaker 2: the check went through, I'd be like, yeah, here you go,
9:05
Speaker 2: because I didn't want that sitting there lingering away.
9:07
Speaker 3: So I think also Christina, like she said that they've
9:10
Speaker 3: only been roommates for six months, it doesn't sound like
9:13
Speaker 3: they were friends before this. It very much sounds like
9:15
Speaker 3: a roommate situation. And it's hard to find a roommate
9:17
Speaker 3: who pays rent on time.
9:19
Speaker 1: You're not losing a bestie, no.
9:21
Speaker 3: But I'm saying like, it's hard to find a good roommate,
9:24
Speaker 3: so I think that's why she also doesn't want to
9:25
Speaker 3: rock the boat and like have any tension.
9:28
Speaker 4: Also, there's something to be said for having a.
9:32
Speaker 3: Clean roommate, a roommate who cleans, Like that's major there.
9:36
Speaker 2: This has got to be one of the most relatable
9:38
Speaker 2: things ever. Living with someone paying portions of things with
9:41
Speaker 2: other people can be difficult. Yeah, I'm sure you have
9:44
Speaker 2: been through this in your life, so let us know
9:46
Speaker 2: what would you do? Seven oh one two eight zero
9:49
Speaker 2: one nine eight seven. Can we help out Christina this
9:52
Speaker 2: morning on Big ninety eight point seven nine.
9:59
Speaker 3: On the problem. Christina has a roommate who's only lived
10:02
Speaker 3: with her for six months, and while she pays rent
10:05
Speaker 3: on time and cleans, she has yet to pay for
10:11
Speaker 3: the internet bill and just keep saying oh, yeah, yeah, yeah,
10:14
Speaker 3: I got it next month.
10:15
Speaker 4: I'll do it next month, and then just never does.
10:18
Speaker 3: So she wants to know how can I get this
10:20
Speaker 3: woman to pay me my money? And she is worried
10:23
Speaker 3: about the advice her brother gave her. He said, log
10:26
Speaker 3: out of all the streaming services and change the password
10:31
Speaker 3: on the Wi Fi because the roommate is still using those,
10:34
Speaker 3: and then that should prove the point like, you can't
10:36
Speaker 3: use any of this stuff until you pay.
10:38
Speaker 1: Just cut it off, cold jack.
10:40
Speaker 4: What would you do in this situation.
10:42
Speaker 3: I think she just doesn't want to rock the boat
10:44
Speaker 3: because she does otherwise think that she's a good roommate.
10:46
Speaker 4: It's only been six months. Yeah, likely it's a year
10:50
Speaker 4: lease on the thing, so you don't want there.
10:52
Speaker 3: To be bad tensions. I think absolutely what her brother
10:56
Speaker 3: said is correct. Go ahead, unlike out of the things,
11:01
Speaker 3: and don't let her use it until she pays.
11:03
Speaker 2: And there are some other good attributes to this roommate.
11:06
Speaker 2: You know, she's clean. She pays the rent portion on time,
11:09
Speaker 2: which is which is the.
11:09
Speaker 1: Main the biggest one.
11:11
Speaker 2: Yeah, Nick said, I wouldn't just change the password right away,
11:15
Speaker 2: Give her one more month to start paying you and
11:17
Speaker 2: tell her if she doesn't pay next month, change the passwords.
11:20
Speaker 2: That way, you at least gave notice. She can't be
11:23
Speaker 2: mad if you change the passwords now. Okay, so all warning,
11:26
Speaker 2: yeah kind of the uh the old we're not evicting
11:28
Speaker 2: you right now. Yeah, but we gotta kind of turn
11:31
Speaker 2: this ship around and start doing some payments. I do
11:34
Speaker 2: have an idea that maybe they could go for Okay, Okay.
11:40
Speaker 2: So the roommate who does not pay the bill, yeah, right,
11:45
Speaker 2: what if she went to a bank and got a
11:49
Speaker 2: super low amount credit card, right, just two hundred and
11:54
Speaker 2: three hundred dollars. I don't know if they go that low,
11:56
Speaker 2: but you know what I mean. Yeah, and she used
12:00
Speaker 2: that card to pay the internet bill fully. Roommate who
12:04
Speaker 2: does pay on time then pays her her half. So
12:08
Speaker 2: that way, if the let's say the bill comes out
12:11
Speaker 2: on the twelfth, well, this girl doesn't get paid till
12:13
Speaker 2: the fifteenth or the sixteenth, Okay, that would give her
12:16
Speaker 2: a few days to make up the payment. She already
12:19
Speaker 2: got the payment the other half. Yeah, and then everything
12:22
Speaker 2: is paid on time. It's all good. And then it
12:24
Speaker 2: buys this girl a couple of days. Because I don't
12:26
Speaker 2: think it. To me, it doesn't seem like she just
12:28
Speaker 2: doesn't want to pay it and she doesn't think she
12:30
Speaker 2: has to gie but she doesn't. It might just be
12:32
Speaker 2: she like is struggling to do it. Maybe she's lost
12:35
Speaker 2: some shifts at work, ers waiting for some big races
12:38
Speaker 2: she should.
12:39
Speaker 4: The roommate needs to communicate.
12:41
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's it sounds like a discussion for sure needs
12:44
Speaker 2: to be had. I'm just like, hey, what is the
12:46
Speaker 2: hold up on this. I'm not trying to accuse you
12:48
Speaker 2: of anything. There's definitely a way to go about this
12:50
Speaker 2: without embarrassing this girl.
12:52
Speaker 1: Yeah, sure, isn't trying to not pay you.
12:54
Speaker 3: I just don't want them to end up in like
12:56
Speaker 3: small claims court with some ridiculous TV judge, know what
13:00
Speaker 3: I mean.
13:00
Speaker 4: However, I would love to have that job.
13:03
Speaker 2: There's a lot of people who do agree with you
13:06
Speaker 2: here Angie. Alicia said change the passwords. That should change
13:10
Speaker 2: pretty fast for her. We do have don who said
13:14
Speaker 2: change passwords on all accounts, no pay, no play.
13:19
Speaker 1: Which is fair.
13:20
Speaker 2: I like that interview Vicky. I agree with her brother.
13:23
Speaker 2: You've tried talking to her to no avail. Time for
13:25
Speaker 2: more drastic steps. And this is one of the things
13:28
Speaker 2: about am I the problem that I really wish to be.
13:31
Speaker 2: I could be a fly on that wall. You know,
13:33
Speaker 2: how have these conversations gone. Has it been just like, oh, hey,
13:37
Speaker 2: when you get it, you could pay me. You do
13:39
Speaker 2: have to be a little bit more stern in these
13:41
Speaker 2: roommate conversation with with just a heads up. If you
13:44
Speaker 2: don't pay, I am going to go this route. That's
13:47
Speaker 2: the thing is that leave any room for anything, you.
13:52
Speaker 1: Know, mis Ashley.
13:53
Speaker 3: She agreed with Nick, who said, you know, give some warning.
13:58
Speaker 3: So I guess maybe I'm just kind of a I'm like, yeah,
14:01
Speaker 3: just stun her with this logging out of the things,
14:04
Speaker 3: but have one last conversation requesting payment and let the
14:07
Speaker 3: roommate know you will be changing passwords if payment is
14:11
Speaker 3: not received. So I guess a little warning goes a
14:14
Speaker 3: long way. But I think the consensus is you got
14:17
Speaker 3: to do it, girl.
14:18
Speaker 1: Change those pastor at some point. Yeah.
14:26
Speaker 2: Well, kiddos are getting ready to go back to school,
14:28
Speaker 2: whether they're in elementary school, middle school, high school and
14:31
Speaker 2: college students. Geary Poor classes in about ten days here
14:36
Speaker 2: at NDSU and MSUM. They both begin their fall semester Monday,
14:41
Speaker 2: August twenty fourth. So I wanted to play a little
14:45
Speaker 2: game with you this morning, Angie. And if you're riding
14:47
Speaker 2: in your car, we're listening at your your work desk
14:49
Speaker 2: or whatever. You also can answer these if you'd like.
14:53
Speaker 2: I have done all of these, and I want you
14:57
Speaker 2: to know if you were the teacher and I walked
14:59

15:20
Speaker 2: the first class, first class fail. Well I did pass

Speaker 2: the class, obviously, but I did do this my very
15:29
Speaker 2: first day at radio school.
15:31
Speaker 1: I was one hour late. I don't remember if.
15:32
Speaker 2: I misread the time of the start or I didn't
15:35
Speaker 2: understand when the first class was. But thankfully, when I
15:39
Speaker 2: got there, the entire class was on break. So I
15:41
Speaker 2: just walked to the back, sat down, and waited for
15:44
Speaker 2: everyone to get back.
15:45
Speaker 4: Oh okay, So I kind of lucked out bursted.
15:49
Speaker 1: I got very.

Speaker 2: Lucky, and I ended up sitting next to my buddy Tyler,
15:53
Speaker 2: who is to this day one of my best friends.
15:55
Speaker 2: I'll be busy in the wedding in October, so it
15:58
Speaker 2: was a pass in the long run. All right, Angie,
16:01
Speaker 2: you had a test, you forgot about it. You got
16:03
Speaker 2: to class, and you told the teacher you didn't forget.
16:05
Speaker 2: You just told him you were mentally preparing. I would
16:09
Speaker 2: respect that. That's hilarious.
16:10
Speaker 1: It's honesty.
16:11
Speaker 4: I would pass.
16:12
Speaker 1: Thank you. I appreciate that.
16:13
Speaker 2: Okay, you bring a lunch box to your college class.

16:23
Speaker 2: all right.
16:23
Speaker 1: I like that a little.
16:24
Speaker 2: It was like this little plastic one that once again
16:27
Speaker 2: brought to radio school.
16:28
Speaker 1: It's kind of a joke.
16:29
Speaker 2: And also I just couldn't think of what else to bring,
16:31
Speaker 2: and I found it sitting in my parent's house.
16:33
Speaker 1: Pretty funny. All right.
16:34
Speaker 2: Some of these are well, once again, all of these
16:36
Speaker 2: very real. I've done some of these. I want to
16:38

16:48
Speaker 3: except for my own children.
16:50
Speaker 1: Yeah.
16:50
Speaker 2: My radio professor or radio teacher, her name was Heather.
16:54
Speaker 2: I got to school once and it was like, oh yeah, mom,
16:56

16:58
Speaker 2: this is awkward.
16:59

18:29
Speaker 2: for some.
18:29
Speaker 1: Money they need to help.
18:31
Speaker 2: And part of being in college a lot of times
18:34
Speaker 2: for a lot of people is being a roommate.
18:37
Speaker 3: Yeah, either in the dorms, so you find a place
18:39
Speaker 3: off campus, you're dealing with a roommate. But that doesn't
18:42
Speaker 3: always go the way you want.
18:45
Speaker 2: Not always being a roommate is. It can be a
18:49
Speaker 2: weird thing, it can be a wonderful thing. If you
18:51
Speaker 2: have a roommate horror story, by the way, we want
18:53
Speaker 2: to hear about it at seven oh one, two eight
18:55
Speaker 2: zero one to nine eight seven. And I would like
18:57
Speaker 2: to point out as someone who has been a roommate also,
19:01
Speaker 2: I have lived with my now wife for like ten
19:04
Speaker 2: years or something along those lines. But before that I
19:06
Speaker 2: had lived with buddies and thankfully always went really well.
19:10
Speaker 2: You know, everyone was pretty chill about the whole ordeal.
19:12
Speaker 2: There was only one time I got in a kind
19:15
Speaker 2: of like an argument with a roommate, but you know,
19:17
Speaker 2: he was he had been boozing up a little bit,
19:20
Speaker 2: so I kind of let it, let it slide.
19:21
Speaker 4: You didn't really count.
19:22
Speaker 2: Yeah, there was this time. It was like eleven thirty
19:25
Speaker 2: midnight at night. I had gone to sleep, he had
19:28
Speaker 2: went out, and he came back with some people, which
19:31
Speaker 2: is fine. I didn't care about that. But at the
19:33
Speaker 2: same time he was walking to the door. I was
19:36
Speaker 2: walking to the bathroom, and I was like, no one's home. Like,
19:39
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna walk there in my boxers. I don't care.
19:41
Speaker 2: Oh So he had walked in with a few people
19:44
Speaker 2: as I'm standing there basically in my underwear and like
19:47
Speaker 2: a T shirt, and he was like, what the heck, dude, YadA, YadA, YadA.
19:50
Speaker 1: So did Hey, what the heck?
19:52
Speaker 4: Tea yahear me?
19:53
Speaker 2: He was like, you can't be hearing your boxers while
19:55
Speaker 2: I got people over and love story short, he was
19:58
Speaker 2: a little bit tuned up. Yeah, the next day he
20:00
Speaker 2: was like, that's my bad. Yeah, Okay, we got over
20:03
Speaker 2: it pretty quick. But being a roommate, it's not just
20:06
Speaker 2: how they affect you. You also affect another person. You
20:09
Speaker 2: have to learn, I think, how to be a good roommate.
20:12
Speaker 2: It does look like we do you have Megan on
20:13
Speaker 2: the phone? Megan, do you have a roommate? Maybe horror
20:15
Speaker 2: story for us.
20:16
Speaker 6: The worst part was actually realizing that I was the
20:19
Speaker 6: only one who knew how to replace a toilet paper role.
20:23
Speaker 6: Apparently that was a two person household and mystery classic.
20:27
Speaker 2: That's a that's a roommate situation if you live at
20:29
Speaker 2: home with your wife and kids. That's true, Angie, did
20:33
Speaker 2: you ever roommate horror story at all? Did you have
20:35
Speaker 2: a situation go awry?
20:37
Speaker 4: You know what.
20:38
Speaker 3: I grew up very old school in a Cuban household,
20:41
Speaker 3: so I quite literally went from living with my mom
20:44
Speaker 3: to them living with my husband.
20:45
Speaker 1: Oh sure, So I didn't.
20:46
Speaker 4: Really have that.
20:47
Speaker 3: My older brother, however, when he moved away to college,
20:51
Speaker 3: in the dorms, he had a roommate named Benedict Fung. Okay,
20:56
Speaker 3: great name and uh he said, hey, there's this one
21:00
Speaker 3: dresser in here I need uh, I need a few
21:03
Speaker 3: drawers for my clothes, and my brother's like cools.
21:09
Speaker 1: Laugh.
21:10
Speaker 3: Then he was like, well, I need more drawers. I
21:12
Speaker 3: need more drawers, to the point where he wanted the
21:15
Speaker 3: entire dresser to himself. And my brother said, you know what, fine,
21:18
Speaker 3: I'll just hang on my stuff in the closet. But
21:21
Speaker 3: then one day, when Benedict Fung was not in the dorm,
21:25
Speaker 3: he goes and looks to see, like, how much clothes
21:28
Speaker 3: does this Benedict have? There was one folded article of
21:33
Speaker 3: clothing per drawer.
21:35
Speaker 1: Each drawer had just one singular.
21:37
Speaker 4: Thing, one singular thing in it.
21:40
Speaker 1: That's insane.
21:41
Speaker 2: Now, your brother sadly though he wouldn't have had he
21:43
Speaker 2: can't really say anything because then he would be admitting
21:46
Speaker 2: he would have to do it now.
21:47
Speaker 3: So he was just like, well, he's a weirdo and
21:49
Speaker 3: he needs one drawer per article of clothing, which is crazy.
21:54
Speaker 3: But I hope somewhere Benedict Fung is living his best life.
21:57
Speaker 1: Yeah, your brother had to take that to the roommate.
21:59
Speaker 3: Gray.
22:00
Speaker 2: I think if you could give advice to someone who
22:02
Speaker 2: maybe is going to be living with someone for the
22:04
Speaker 2: first time who is not their family or their parents. Ye,
22:08
Speaker 2: what advice would it be at seven oh one two
22:10
Speaker 2: eight zero one nine eight seven mind, I think the
22:13
Speaker 2: best thing is Sadly, it always comes down to this,
22:16
Speaker 2: but open and honest communication, and there is a way
22:19
Speaker 2: to do that without trying to attack or embarrass your roommates. Yeah,
22:23
Speaker 2: you know, you don't have to make them feel stupid
22:25
Speaker 2: or like feel like they're doing something incredibly wrong. There's
22:28
Speaker 2: a way to talk to people and find a middle ground,
22:31
Speaker 2: I think without making them feel stupid.
22:34
Speaker 3: I don't know that I've mastered that. Now that I'm
22:36
Speaker 3: living with Mike.
22:40
Speaker 1: I need some good.
22:43
Speaker 7: Starting off the day with something good. This is Gabe's
22:47
Speaker 7: good news on Big ninety eight point seven.
22:50
Speaker 1: This is a wonderful love story.
22:52
Speaker 2: And we talked a lot about, you know, kind of
22:54
Speaker 2: back to school, back to college. Well about how about
22:57
Speaker 2: these two Bison standouts, NDSU basketball stand out Avery Conan
23:02
Speaker 2: and Bison quarterback Tray Drake.
23:04
Speaker 1: They are engaged.
23:06
Speaker 2: The first two met back in twenty twenty two while
23:09
Speaker 2: appearing together on Hot Mike, and now they're getting ready
23:13
Speaker 2: to say I do. Both eventually landed at NDSU and
23:16
Speaker 2: twenty twenty three and their relationship has grown right alongside
23:20
Speaker 2: their Bison careers. So I'll bring big congratulations to Avery
23:24
Speaker 2: and Trey for making some plays on the court and
23:26
Speaker 2: on the football field, to making one very important play,
23:30
Speaker 2: and that is their future together. This is the sweet
23:33
Speaker 2: a Bison love story with a happy ending and apparently
23:36
Speaker 2: a wedding coming up.
23:37
Speaker 1: Wonderful news for those two. I hope it's the best
23:40
Speaker 1: day ever.
23:41
Speaker 2: Your engagement's fun, planning, it's fun, and you have as
23:44
Speaker 2: magical a day as I did on my wedding day.
23:46
Speaker 2: So way to go to Avery and Drake And you
23:49
Speaker 2: know my favorite quote if you don't hear it is
