What is the worst purchase you have ever made? · Podcast - Big 98.7

0:00
All right, so we're talking about the worst purchase you've ever made. What
0:03
comes to mind when I say the dumbest thing that immediately you're like, what
0:06
the heck? What what am I doing? Here? Is he I've been
0:08
wished so many times, like with clothes and things like that. I wished
0:12
what do you mean when you it looks like, oh my gosh, it's
0:15
gonna be really cute. Off it. Then you get it and you're like,
0:18
did I buy this for a Barbie doll? Because this is not what
0:22
I was going for. Before I had gotten married to Nick, I bought
0:27
a dress on line, a wedding dress, and I thought, oh my
0:32
gosh, this is it. It's gonna be gorgeous. A wedding dress.
0:34
A wedding dress online. Yes, okay, you bought it for a wedding
0:37
or were just for grins and giggles, like for my wedding? Okay you
0:41
want like you were just like hoping. I was like, gosh, I
0:44
can't wait the next guy that comes along, I'm gonna marry him. I
0:48
was like praying on people, no, gosh, no anyway, and I
0:52
will never forget. My girlfriend comes over and I put it on and We're
0:56
both just looking on I don't know what we're gonna do with this hard no,
1:00
Like the lace is like not really lace. It was terrible. Somebody
1:04
ended up buying it from me for like fifty bucks. I was like,
1:07
I don't know if you're gonna make a bunch of doilies or what you're gonna
1:10
do with it. Thankfully, Alan Evans Bridle Shop was able to save me
1:12
because I bought a wish dress. Like it was the worst experience of my
1:18
life. Was it just cheap or yes? And it wasn't that expensive.
1:22
I should have known, but I just thought, hey, second, why
1:25
did I'm gonna take the cheap way cheap way around this one? What about
1:27
you? Seven? Two nine eight seven worst purchase you've ever made? I
1:30
remember in high school, I was a very vulnerable teenager, and you know,
1:34
like what do you call multi level marketing or hyramid schemes? They were
1:38
just kind of like a thing everywhere. And this friend of mine, who
1:42
I thought anyway was a friend, got into somehow selling this like juice product
1:47
and he sold me on it without me even reusing. Because it was the
1:49
first time anybody had tried to sell me. I didn't have Facebook. Nobody
1:53
had tried to get me into one of these things, so he had me
1:57
convinced. And he was like an older friend, so I thought he was
1:59
cool that this thing was this magic juice and he had been using it in
2:01
his joints had never felt better. And oh, by the way, if
2:06
you sell these, you can make money and everybody in it for free,
2:09
and you well and you you just have to buy the first load and then
2:14
everybody underneath you you get to make money off. I'm like, well,
2:15
that seems like an obvious deal. Yeah, So as a high school or
2:20
working, you know, fourteen hours a week at Arby's, somehow scrounged together.
2:24
I want to say, it was like two hundred and fifty dollars of
2:27
this juice. And so finally it arrives at my house and I put in
2:30
the fridge and it sat in the fridge for months and months and months that
2:35
we threw it away because I just like, never mind, But did they
2:38
like try charging you every single month. I've been in situations like that where
2:42
it's like, oh, here, just a one time payment, and then
2:45
you don't read the details and then you can't get out. You're just like
2:49
locked in at sixty nine dollars a month for whatever product it is. Thank
2:52
god, I don't think that happened, or maybe they maybe they were charging
2:54
me. They were just getting you know, the overdraft every month or something.
2:59
But the old Pyramids GA super dumb seven two eight ninety eight seven.
3:04
If you want to chime and integrace, you do, you have a dumb
3:06
thing you've bought. I don't know where the money is coming in from,
3:10
but you're spending a lot of money. It seems like, um. Jason
3:14
Aldean's wife Brittany was like doing this like smart cups. There's nowhere that this
3:19
could go that would be a smart I follow Brittany Aldean and she's get She
3:23
sometimes gets me hook line and sink about what was us? They were those
3:25
smart cups you like fill them up with water to like this line, and
3:30
they're supposed to give you energy. And I was like, oh my gosh,
3:32
Brittany Aldean's doing it. I gotta buy some. So I bought some.
3:36
They were the worst tasting things in the world, and they did not
3:38
give me any any energy. So the cup itself is supposed to give you
3:43
energy. I'm very confused. It's just this little coup and it has like
3:45
these little like it almost looks like those things where you put water in and
3:50
then it like dissolves like a cup of noodles, and then you add the
3:53
water, but then it's a juice instead of no noodles. Yeah, okay,
3:57
but you had to believe it because the wife of middling country music star
4:00
Jason Aldan was promoting, right. I mean, at this point, Brittany
4:04
is way cooler than Jason in my opinion. But whatever, we get any
4:08
interesting on Facebook comments, we do. We have Ruben and we also have
4:14
yeah, Reuben and Jared wedding rings, both boys. Sorry to hear that
4:20
boys. Jenna did chime in and she said a roomba, and Lisa said,
4:26
I agree with that. They're handy, but if you have for kids,
4:29
forget it. Really. Yeah, we had a room ba at one
4:31
point and we actually sold it to a neighbor because I'm like, I love
4:34
the thought of it. Yeah, you know, we don't even have pets,
4:38
our kids, but I have a wife who has a head of hair.
4:40
And in the morning one point seven, which means it is time for
4:49
the hypothetical situation game, famously known as what do you do that's my favorite.
4:57
It is my favorite. So here's the deal. We're gonna give each
5:00
other hypothetical situations, just brutal, brutal situations. Really find out what you're
5:04
made of, and you can play along in your car. Certainly, so
5:06
a man to hit me with the first one. All right. So you're
5:09
at the lake, beautiful weekend, your wife Lauren and Oliver girlfriends are having
5:13
a great time. You've got one other guy out there? Was it just
5:15
oh? Okay, yep, the guy got it. He's driving the boat.
5:19
You decide I'm going tubin. I mean, this guy wants to throw
5:24
you off. You are just ripping around the lake. You fly off.
5:28
You had a huge wave. Not only did you fly off pike, but
5:31
your swimming trunks are gone. They flew off. They're gone. Okay,
5:35
now, remember it's a boat full. It's Lauren Oliver girls. You can't
5:40
find them. You're in the water the middle of the lake. So Pike,
5:44
there you go, there you are. I know, Wow, how
5:49
embarrassing. What do you do? Hopefully of Walleye doesn't think it's well bait
6:00
a little bait. Okay, Well, it's a lake, Amanda and the
6:04
warmest bodies of water. No, I don't know. I do the old
6:09
point, the old cupping technic, the two hands cupping. I don't know.
6:13
Okay, locker room, yeah, I got it all right. Okay,
6:16
Amanda, you and your husband are out for a nice little dinner with
6:20
another couple. Now, this couple secretly kind of annoys you. Okay,
6:25
but you gotta do dinner. Okay. Now, when you get there,
6:29
the other couple orders not one, but two appetizers off the menu. They
6:33
go with the cheese plate and the blackened shrimps. Now the thing is,
6:39
at no point do they say, hey, you guys, have as much
6:42
as you'd like, nor do they say that these are for the table.
6:45
Got it, just house the entire things. But when the check comes,
6:49
they ask the waiter to split the appetizers. So Amanda, yeah, can
6:58
you put these on both of us? We split these? Yeah, thank
7:01
you, thank you? What do you do? Well, I'm gonna just
7:04
go okay, and I'm gonna pay. But you also mentioned my husband's gonna
7:09
be there and Nick is gonna go I didn't have any of those, and
7:14
I'm gonna be kicking him under the table. Shut up, You're like,
7:18
why, I don't know guys, how was the cheese plate? Love?
7:24
I would not say a thing either. No, I would be like,
7:27
okay, and then I'd get in the car and I'd be like, are
7:29
you kidding of these two? No wonder we hate them, never going out
7:32
with them again. All right, Pike, all right, cool, You're
7:36
at Shinedown Friday at the fair. Shinedown popular American rock band. All right,
7:42
they're gonna be at the fair Friday. Put yourself in this position.
7:45
You're at having a good time again. You're with your buddies, that's the
7:47
whole thing. You have a couple of beers, and you got to go
7:50
to the bathroom. It happens, you know, the only situation out there
7:54
is going to be that porta potti. Yeah, so you go to the
7:56
porta potti. You're hustling. You love Shinedown, so you pop in real
8:01
quick. Oops, it gone. Your cell phone falls into the porta potti.
8:07
It's your phone, it has everything that's my cellular device, yeah,
8:11
or a lifeline. Yeah. So, Pike, for the record, I
8:16
feel like you've asked me both of these before, haven't. Nevertheless, what
8:20
do you do? I will say, I have a similar experience back in
8:24
tea ball T ball. One of my first year of t ball, I
8:28
remember going to practice solo without my staffs first day of tea Well, let
8:31
me tell you what happened, and you'll know why. I don't forget because
8:33
I went to the porta potty and my glove was under my arm. Oh
8:37
no, my glove fell into the porta potty, Amanda, And as a
8:39
child, I knew no other option but to pull it out of there and
8:43
use it. Never told anybody, Yeah, use that glove for the entire
8:48
year. So twenty five years later, cell phone, I'm going to create
8:52
a mechanism like a diver and I'm gonna fish it out of there. So
8:58
are you gonna tell everybody like, don't go in there, don't go in
9:00
there. I gotta find a meta. I'm gonna say, I'm gonna tape
9:01
it off, and then I'm gonna put it in a bowler, Rice,
9:05
and We're gonna continue to live our lives, not gonna bowler. I get
9:09
help with that. Oh come on, Amanda. Last one, what do
9:13
you do? The year is eighteen sixty five. You're the wife of sixteenth
9:20
President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln. Okay, your husband, Abe
9:24
suggests that you should get out of the house. He's thinking a night at
9:30
the theater, Amanda, it's been cooped up. Get out of the town.
9:41
Eighteen sixty five? What am I gonna do? What do you do?
9:45
Our guns are slinging? I feel like I'm gonna been visiting myself bar
9:50
hopping unless one way, like one road, there's gotta be a bar putting
9:56
on some boots, kicking the door down and go on. Hey guys,
10:01
ladies night out right? Were you gonna go to the theater or what?
10:07
No, I'm past the theater. I'm going to the park. Okay,
10:09
you're gonna let him go. Yeah, I'm not going to be so you're
10:13
not gonna intervene with what ultimately might happen at that theater. Oh my god,
10:16
I didn't even God, you didn't even know what I'm doing here.
10:22
I went a long way to do this whole thing, and you didn't even
10:24
get it. You don't get eighteen Do I need a April fifteenth? John
10:30
Wilkes booth is also in the house at night, and you're gonna go guns
10:33
of slinging at ladies night at the saloon? I need a history lesson but
10:43
I also need a drink up this morning, Ring Pike and Amanda in the
10:48
morning. Here we go. You, I'll just spect a thing. When
10:54
do you hear that? Telephone? F bread never listening? Friends? Friend?
11:07
What a tune? All right, Amana? So here's the deal,
11:09
you ladies. You just can never have a secret out there. You gotta
11:11
know everything. You're so nosy. And that's why this man, the husband,
11:16
wants us to prank call his wife because she's dying to know the entertainment
11:18
that he was put in charge of booking for the family reunion. Okay,
11:22
yeah, that's just what we ladies do. I gotta know. Well,
11:24
I'm gonna let her know. Let's see if she answers. Hello, Hey,
11:35
looking for a Brett. Um, he's not home right now, but
11:39
this is his wife. Is there something that I can help you with?
11:43
Yeah? I guess so. Yeah? Maybe what was your name, miss
11:46
Chelsea? Chelsea? Anyway, Snakeskin Davis down here at Snakeskins Entertainment Colin just
11:50
to maybe collect the final payment on the entertainment product that your husband, Brett
11:56
had purchased. Maybe you could help me out with that entertainment said he was
12:01
booking entertainment for a party y'all are having down there. Oh yeah, that's
12:03
right. Um, I totally forgot about that. Actually, Um, could
12:07
you actually tell me what what he what he booked? Because he didn't actually
12:11
tell me. Yeah. So yeah, so your husband, Brad actually booked
12:13
our Ultimate Furry Frenzy Package and we're just going to be needing the final payment
12:18
on that, which it comes to two hundred and seventy six dollars and eighty
12:22
four cents. Now that's gonna be a debt or a credit card. I'm
12:26
sorry, did you say, um Furrey Frenzy Package? Yeah, yep,
12:31
that's the that's the package your husband went on and booked down there. Okay,
12:35
well what is that exactly? So I know what's going on until I
12:37
can plan? Is that something for for the kids as for the whole family?
12:41
Really, it's basically where we send in a bunch of adults dressed as
12:45
animals and they dance all exotically up on the guests there at the party.
12:50
What this is for a family reunion? Why would he do exotic dancers?
12:54
That doesn't make any sense. Yeah, it's not really our jurisdiction as far
12:58
as what's appropriate for your family. So anyway, that's gonna be two hundred
13:01
and seventy six dollars. I'm sorry, I'm not paying for this. This
13:05
is for my family reunion. This is totally inappropriate. Okay, well,
13:11
maybe we can work with you on this. I understand there is a little
13:13
confusion here, maybe a little miscommunication between you and your husband. Would you
13:18
be interested in maybe one of our other maybe more family friendly packages, like
13:22
what Well, I think maybe the Firefighter's Delight would be appropriate for this situation.
13:31
Okay, well, what is that exactly? Yeah, that's just gonna
13:33
be where we basically send in a bunch of nude firefighters with hoses what they
13:39
kind of just dance around and swing the hose around. No, no,
13:43
no, no, no, no oh no absolutely not no, no,
13:46
no, no no. We are not doing this. What I say,
13:48
learning it and there's got any kids there? Absolutely unacceptable. We could get
13:52
like a thong. Maybe if we put a little underwear on the guys,
13:56
would that help? Would that be better? No, there's gonna be kids,
14:00
say, did you not just hear me? I'm gonna have to talk
14:01
to my husband. This is no I'll tell you what, Chelsea. We
14:05
already talked to Brett and uh, actually the whole thing's a joke. So
14:11
what what? Oh Chelsea, it's Pike and Amanda in the Morning. I'm
14:16
big ninety in point seven. I'm sorry, but this was a pranky no.
14:18
No, Oh my god, I was gonna say, you're kidding me.
14:24
I was about to say, I am going to kill my husband.
14:26
How do you do this? Around said, what is wrong? To listen?
14:30
There's no there's no furries. There's no naked firefighters. Although that does
14:33
sound more exciting than whatever your husband did. Not No, not for the
14:37
family. Probably some nice bouncy houses, maybe a water slide, he said,
14:43
your your husband. Brett reached out to us. He said that you've
14:45
been a little nosy, dying to know what entertainment he booked. But he
14:48
wants to keep it a surprise, so we're gonna keep it that way.
14:50
But I bet it's gonna be a lot of fun. Oh my god.
14:52
Well, now I'm more terrified. And Amanda in the Morning point seven.
15:01
Do you have any experience with Airbnb's. We rented one for our wedding and
15:05
that was a great experience in Evergreen, and then we did a San Diego
15:09
trip right after we had SID and that was a little different. We had
15:15
a great place. Oh I'd love to hear about it, but I want
15:18
you to compare it to this airbnb. It's gotten viral on Twitter because somebody
15:22
went on vacation over to the UK, which would be lovely, and they
15:24
got a little little room, right because it's just one person and you know
15:28
it's probably cheap. Will they arrive and they've shared photos online of the room
15:33
and if you look here on the photo I'm looking at, that is your
15:35
standard bathroom with a shower, toilet and a bed. They literally rented out
15:45
a bathroom with a bed in it, stop without having knowledge of it before.
15:50
And people are, you know, like at it in somebody's house.
15:54
This is, yeah, a room within somebody's house. So you know,
15:56
you can rent an entire house or rented a room and something. And that's
15:58
how it started Airbnb was you know, you could rent an air mattress in
16:03
somebody's house, and it's obviously grown to be you can rent mansions, you
16:07
know, but yeah, this is a what would I know I'm imagining showing
16:11
up because you're thinking I'm traveling, I'm gonna spend maybe a couple of hours
16:15
of sleeping time. That's it, you know, maybe, well, bet,
16:19
I'm losing my mind. Really, see, I'm like for the right
16:25
price. To me, this is great. I mean, look at it.
16:26
The toilet is an arms reach from the bad the bed. I mean,
16:30
this is heaven for me. I am not in college anymore. I
16:33
don't need to be laying in the bathroom on the floor. Listen, I
16:36
know many hours do you know how many hours of sleep I miss out on
16:38
because I'm laying there thinking about I should probably get up and go to the
16:41
bathroom. But man, it's a long ways away. Now it seems like
16:45
you can just aim right for it. Yeah, just roll over kind the
16:49
angling of her body and the showers right there too. I mean, listen,
16:53
have you ever had a you know, probably not in a bathroom,
16:56
but interesting Airbnb stories, because we had one recently that way is a bit
17:00
of a nightmare, you did, Oh yeah, in Florida. We had
17:03
a bunch of people staying in there. And you know, of course I'm
17:06
the one who its name is under, so I'm responsible, and so we
17:10
leave and you know, nobody cleans up, because that's the thing with Airbnb's
17:12
you got to pay a cleaning fee, but then you also got to clean
17:15
up the whole place, right, take the trash out. We did none
17:18
of that, which I understood. But then they charged us because there was
17:21
sand in their dryer. They claim, we're at the beach, mind you,
17:26
and so they said we had to pay to fix the dryer. And
17:30
nobody like, who puts sand in the dryer? That seems crazy. You
17:33
guys had it on your towels and you it would have been more probably in
17:36
the Washington I'm saying, like, nobody threw a dirty towel in the dryer.
17:40
I don't know. It was. It was very obnoxed games a little
17:41
sketchy. Tell me about your San Diego trip. It was great, except
17:45
where we got in really late, and the place that we went it was
17:49
like amaze. Trying to get in. It was like seventeen underground places and
17:52
you could go through all these different gates and when you have no idea where
17:56
you're going. So we're trying to get ahold of this woman at like two
17:59
thirty in the morning. Meanwhile, or put pushing Sydney around because we had
18:03
her at the time. It was a disaster. Took us almost an hour
18:06
and a half to just get into the airbnb. Airbnb itself was fine,
18:11
but just like anything, the pictures were not what we expected. Like they
18:15
were supposed to be a view of the beach. No, you're like six
18:17
miles from the beach. That's not exactly how I went down. The photo
18:19
was a zoomed in picture of a puddle or something. Worse for me,
18:23
there had this creepy teddy bear. It was a like a life sized teddy
18:27
bear that was just sitting in the living room. What an interesting choice.
18:30
It was really gross to me because I'm thinking, is this a video camera
18:37
and this teddy bear? And then we had our daughter and she like wanted
18:38
to play with the teddy bear. I'm like, this is disgusting. For
18:41
sure. All of the kids are playing with this teddy bear and that's just
18:45
gross. What if you called the host like, hey, what's the deal
18:48
with the teddy bear and she goes, what teddy bear in the morning gave
19:00
birth to a baby or two? In fact, actually, sir, have
19:02
yeah, you were pretty much there for the first one. I was in
19:04
the room. I wasn't the room. I'll never go back in the room.
19:08
Good time. I've given the option. So people have uncovered a nineteen
19:14
seventies hospital manual on new mothers and the giving birth process. So these are
19:19
suggestions they were making in the hospital room in nineteen seventy. I'm sure they
19:23
gave you a list of Oh, you get a whole pamphlet, and there's
19:26
birthing classes all that. We didn't go through all of that. I kind
19:29
of was more of the it's a surprise and delight. Let me just see
19:32
what happens. It's otherwise I'd overthink it and I get all anxious and nervous.
19:37
I'm like, oh, let's just see what happened. Spent a million
19:40
times the problem warn't always talks about she'd be scared to give birth. I'm
19:42
like, people, everyone does it. It's a it's a wild exci No,
19:48
it's difficult. But here's what they said in nineteen seventies. So when
19:49
you get in the room and you're sitting there and you're waiting waiting for the
19:52
labor to start, the big first thing is to turn the television off because
19:57
that baby needs all your attention. Were you watching TV? My husband was
20:03
because with Sydney it was during March madness. Remember we've gone through that.
20:07
That's right, that's right. Uh B would be to complete any phone calls,
20:11
get those out of the way, because you got you know, baby
20:12
coming see. And I think I was texting more because everybody wanted updates.
20:15
It's like, huh, I'm at a seven not quite yet, you know
20:18
that kind of thing. At what point did you stop texting because you're on
20:21
your phone, as people know, probably twenty four hours a day. I
20:23
mean I just hit speaker phone and I was like, all right, guys,
20:26
it's about to happen. Facebook. No, I was off my phone
20:32
when the docs are coming in and it's like, okay, it's when there
20:36
was hands yeah, making an entrance. All right. So in the big
20:38
one people were laughing about was put your cigarette out? Of what you're saying
20:44
if just before giving birth in the hospital room, you gotta put your cigarette
20:48
out, I mean, have some respect. It's hard to even wrap your
20:51
head around the fact that people were smoking in a public facility like that,
20:56
especially in a healthcare facility, at any point in time, any of like
21:00
even a restaurant. I mean I remember as a kid in the nineties going
21:03
to like the frying pan and there was the smoking and non smoking section,
21:06
and I would get so mad when my mom would make a sit in the
21:08
smoking Yeah, like you can't have your pancakes without a cigarette coming, come
21:11
on, It's just crazy. But what I love is that you used to
21:15
think there was a smoking and non smoking section. It's just smoky, like
21:18
everywhere there's stuff. Yeah, it's not like I can't smell that from twelve
21:22
feet away. It's still here. It's I give you. Go to a
21:25
casino now, one of the few places that you can smoke, which seems
21:29
insane. If you're sitting there at a casino or like a slot machine or
21:32
something, and somebody's next you was smoking, It's like, what world is
21:34
this? I can't I can't be around it. It's crazy to me now.
21:37
It's just I can't talk the next day even just being around it.
21:42
God forbid. I have a few drinks and actually smoke one. I am
21:47
just shocked by that. In the seven I know in the best part is
21:49
it says put your cigarette out. It says it doesn't say if you have
21:52
a cigarette. It's like they assume you're smoking a cigarette, but you gotta
21:56
put it out once the baby's out, then just light them off. In
22:00
Amanda in the morning. Did you see the woman going viral here because she
22:07
ordered a vinyl record of Taylor Swiss. Was it the new speak Now album?
22:11
Ye? Now Taylor's version. Oh sorry, I don't want to give
22:15
any money to that scooter clown, all right. So when she ordered it,
22:18
she put it on her little vinyl because people are like vinyls, you
22:21
know. And instead of hearing one of the catchy tunes from speak Now Taylor's
22:26
version, this is what she got on her vinyl. Quit looking at the
22:30
flakes of flesh and dancing organisms or rather junk impire to freak tax things literally,
22:36
just like the creepiest speaking voice, borderline satanic. And she said she
22:41
bought it right off the official website too, which is really concerning. Yeah.
22:45
So obviously some sort of accident at the shipping plant or an intervention from
22:49
Satan himself. Yeah. No. This also reminded me of after I had
22:56
gotten married. I had all these wedding pictures and pop sockets had just came
23:00
out, Michael, pop sockets, remember those you'd put on the back of
23:03
your phone talk about a turning point history of civilization. I know I never
23:08
have had one, because I went on Shutterfly, like, oh my gosh,
23:12
this is a cute little idea. I'll put together one of Nick and
23:15
I and you're gonna design a pop socket. They're so small, I know.
23:21
So I decided to do some pictures, not really realizing. I'm like,
23:23
oh, this is kind of weird. But I was able to put
23:26
all these pictures on it, right, okay, So wait and wait and
23:29
wait, and Shutterfly shows up. Open, am I, this is a
23:32
big box pop socket. Yeah, open it. And it was just a
23:37
plate like it was a plastic plate in the middle. It says love you
23:42
more. And there's like five or six pictures of Nick and I just love
23:47
each other off of them. Yep. So we saved it. So every
23:49
once in a while when I'm just being a little smarty silly, here you
23:55
go on it's just funny. Well that's weird, I know. So it
23:59
was obviously a mistake or you supposed to take that on the back of your
24:00
phone, or or is just me totally not read you made the mistake.
24:04
Don't be ridiculous, come on, highly unlikely hike in Amanda in the morning.
24:11
Seven. There's now time for Hometown Throwdown. Every Thursday. You have
24:18
a chance to win by representing the town you live in, because you gotta
24:22

25:33
ladies, which continent is the largest South Fargo? Go ahead? Uh,

26:27
All right. So Brittany's got two to South Pargo's one. Correct,
26:30
So this is for the win for Brittany. What's a perfect score in bowling?
26:37
Let's Targo, Brittany for the wine drow me three hundred yo getting after

26:48
but not enough today Brittany is our returning champion yet again. Congratulations,
26:55
Thank you, Nicole. We appreciate you trying though, Yeah, thank you.
26:57
Absolutely. We'll see you around South Bargo one of these days, I'm
27:00
sure in the morning. Seven. All right. So there's things that you
27:11
wish you would have known as a teen right about the real world, because
27:14
older you can get, the more you're like, God, I wish it
27:15
would have helped. And there's also a part of me I feel like my
27:18
mom probably told me some of these things, and I was just like,
27:22
whatever, Mom, Okay, sure, yeah, I'm just gonna update my
27:26
mind space. Yeah, no, kiddy. Anyway, there's an online conversation
27:30
happening about things you would say to a team, so like, for example,
27:33
uh, one thousand dollars is a lot to oh, but not a
27:37
lot to have, no, And as a team, I would have heard
27:41
that and been like, I don't know, Okay, my army's check is
27:44
forty four dollars, so you know, but it is. I mean,
27:48
yeah, it's a it's a it's a lot easier to stack up thousands dollars
27:52
debt than it is to stack up thousands of dollars saying incredibly easy and now
27:56
they make it so easy too with It's amazing to me how many of these
28:00
kids have credit cards. Is that kids have credit cards? Yeah, I
28:04
mean once you're out of high school and you turn eighteen and you can just
28:08
get to town on him. I had a cousin who filed for bankruptcy at
28:11
the time she was like twenty four because she just was like, didn't think
28:15
anything of it. You're just thinking it's just a plastic ring, and you
28:18
don't realize what debt is and how it's going to affect your credit or any
28:22
of that, and that and the concept of like interest and how insane the
28:26
interest. So once you have a certain amount of debt, like you'll never
28:29
pay it off. You just can't because it's just constantly, you know,
28:33
you make a two hundred dollars payment and then you get charged two hundred fifty
28:36
dollars for interest and even that. Don't you feel that should be more of
28:38
like a main course in high school? No, I don't think so.
28:41
I think they had to do uh, you know, trigonometry and all the
28:47
things, Spanish history also, all that stuff is needed. No for better
28:52
or for worse. Confidence opens as many doors as competence. I like that,
28:56
you know what I mean? Because think about like in our industry and
28:59
a lot of industries, if you just present yourself as somebody who knows what
29:02
they're doing, but you don't actually like you're better off than somebody who's really
29:06
good at what they do. But you just see them, they don't seem
29:08
confident or you know. Yeah, and I think you'd be surprised how many
29:11
people really have no idea what they're doing. Just in general, everybody in
29:15
life is kind of just winging it totally. Like you just hope this is
29:18
where you're supposed to be, what you should be doing, but you always
29:22
like for me anyway, I'll look up at people who are running companies or
29:26
just big you know, people you think are like big wigs. Yeah,
29:29
they're probably going home thinking, oh my god, like, am I going
29:32
to screw this up? I'm probably below this. One thing that came to
29:34
mind when you were talking about work is it wasn't until recently, probably like
29:41
my early thirty two everybody's replaceable, Like you're not. You're not somebody who's
29:45
going to just manda. In fact, you spoiled my next one. Adults
29:52
would tell teens to warn them about the real world. Your job sees you
29:56
as replaceable, so look out for yourself and your family. Your job is
29:59
not every thing, but it will feel like it is. So make sure
30:02
that you know you don't like where you are, then you can just change
30:04
it because at the end of the day, your job can replace you and
30:07
probably will. And I think since having kids, that's been the I mean,
30:12
you were so career minded and you're doing everything to get to where you're
30:15
at. Now that I have kids, I'm like, that's really I mean,
30:18
I love everybody, but that's all that matters. Like at the end
30:21
of the day, it's like it's just your kids and your husband. That's
30:23
really tough to hear a man crush me. I think about you two,
30:26
Pike? Is that right? I do? I do yes for better or
30:30
for worse? Did I read that anyway? Is there anything else that you
30:37
can think of? M Well, the college thing. I would address that
30:41
with them, you know. And I my wife, Lauren's brother lived with
30:45
us for a little bit and I talk to him all the time. I'm
30:48
like, hey, you don't know what you want to do, Like,
30:49
don't just go to college because you want to go You know, live in
30:52
the dorms and you know, be one of the go to the football games,
30:56
like don't do that and that, and speaking of all the money that
30:59
you're using and haying and going into, you have zero direction as to where
31:03
you're headed. Yeah, no, I totally get that. Another one,
31:07
just real quick, is just time in general, like as you get older.
31:11
I don't know what it is, and maybe it's just our career,
31:12
but I'm already thinking of Christmas, like summer's over in my mind, Like
31:17
time just flies the older you get. Remember like growing up, it was
31:22
just like school years just all it just felt like they drug on forever and
31:26
then all of a sudden, you turn whatever. As soon as you're like
31:29
an adult and you're having a plan like dinners and all the things, every
31:32
days the same. Yea year is the same. You know. It's like
31:34
from twenty five to thirty, like what was different, Like hardly anything,
31:37
But from thirteen to eighteen, like everything changed seven one, two, eight
31:42
ninety eight seven. You want to add something, what would you warn a
31:45
teenager about the real world integrates where you paying attention? Do you agree with
31:49
the time thing? Is that? Right? Especially now? I feel like
31:52
some concept of time. Usually just goes by so fast that actually happens all
31:56
the time. Up this morning, Amanda, in the morning, Now here's
32:07
what you need to know. We gotta get them out of here. And
32:10
last night I was hoping that it was going to happen eight forty five.
32:13
We were all just waiting for the mosquitoes to just die before our eyes.
32:17
They were supposed to do a sprain. I wasn't being that sick about it.
32:21
Oh my gosh, they are so bad. I was at Wino's last
32:22
night and I even asked them, like, do you guys have any bug
32:24
spray? Just had to load up. It was crazy. I haven't smelled
32:28
the scent of bug spraying so long. Really, I don't know why.
32:30
I'm surprised with all the golfing you do that you don't have bug spraying in
32:34
your golf bag. Yeah. I'll tell you what. I had a skeeter
32:36
take a bite out of my leg mid swing last night at League. That
32:42
was no come on, Amanda, Oh that was the line though. For
32:45
me. I'm like, all right, we gotta do something about this.
32:47
Well, they ended up post pointing it last night because they said there were
32:51
some a number of factors, but high winds was one of them where he
32:54
was like the least windy night maybe ever in North Dakota. They planned to
32:59
try to do it end tonight. So fingers and toes cross because is got
33:02
it. I mean, I don't remember a time in the city that has
33:05
been this bad, really gross. Yeah, welcome to unforgettable North Dakota.
33:09
Oh, we all love North Dakota and a lot of people go to Medora
33:13
as a family vacation. I have yet to go, but over the last
33:16
couple of days, Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunas have been hanging out there.
33:19
Oh yeah, there's a picture in the right there, look at them.
33:21
There they go. Yeah. At North Dakota Cowboy Hall of Fame, the
33:24
gift shop manager snapped a photo of them after they did a private Too Earthly
33:28
museum. She said that they arrived just before closing time on Tuesday evening,
33:32
which like, hey, we're about to shut down, and then all of
33:36
a sudden they show up, and she said they look kind of familiar,
33:37
but at the moment she didn't realize it was them until they introduced themselves.
33:42
Well, I will say I'm looking at a picture of them and they look
33:44
like the most normal people. When you don't see them on TV and red
33:46
carpets and all the makeup, it's like there's just people because you always think,
33:50
oh, I'm gonna know who these people are or any of this as
33:52
you're just passing by them. But I don't really think you would in some
33:55
circumstance. Speaking of golf, you think they'll be golfing the what is it
33:59
called bullypole bully pulp. Oh yeah, I gotta get out there, I
34:02
know. Same with my hubby. Yeah, maybe him and I take a
34:05
little trip out west, little boys trip, and Lorn and I will go
34:07
where you can stand tell kids and there is a company offering one lucky Barbie
34:15
fan a dream job. The chosen applicant will be given one thousand dollars to
34:20
watch it, and you gotta rank all sixteen animated Barbie movies from two thousand
34:23
and one to two thousand and nine. The story for me is, I
34:25
did not know there were that many animated Barbie movies. I don't think I've
34:29
ever seen one. No, I know I'm a little older, and I
34:32
guess I played with Barbies. I used to get in troubled for cutting off
34:36
all their hair and feeding him yogurt by my mom because they were going to
34:38
be collectibles. I don't know. I just treated them. I was an
34:40
only child. I was treating them like they were my little sister. Some
34:45
issues. I mean, I wasn't chopping off their heads and arms. Oh
34:47
you weren't. I was just playing. That's what the boys get it.
34:50
When you getting your sister's barbies, you start ripping the limbs off. Now
34:53
that was the sign of an issue. Yeah, no kid, ready,
34:57
ready, that's he is typing hot today. No, Nanda stills. Let's
35:02
see. Let's see. Well this is pretty relatable. You just don't think
35:07
a lot of these things happen to celebrities. But Mandy Moore posted to Instagram
35:10
yesterday and she said, yeah, a package of mine got stolen outside of
35:15
my home in La. She says people are the worst. She took a
35:17
screenshot of a package leaning on a large white gate. She said, I
35:21
was wondering where the stroller I ordered went. I was going back and forth
35:23
with customer service fed X. I swore to them like they did not deliver
35:28
this until she found the video of somebody jacking it from in front of her
35:31
gate. Yeah, it's sad. Well, what they got to do something
35:35
at some point? It happens way too often. And does Amazon work with
35:37
you on that? Like, will they just send you a new thing?
35:40
You know, I've never thankfully had a porch pirate. Do you have a
35:44
ring camera? I sure do. My husband and I always talk about that
35:46
when we are walking to the park and stuff. If you're saying anything because
35:50
they can pick up audio from Oh yeah, are enough out where I'll be
35:53
talking. He's like they can hear you in your potty mouth. Probably bad
36:00
talking neighbors. No, I was just saying how beautiful their landscape was,
36:02
and you know how I love their dogs and things like that. Britney Spears
36:09
is still furious about this NBA incident that went down last week. She is
36:15
now wanting a public apology from Wimby. Is that what we're calling the short
36:20
nickname Victor wemban Yama seven foot five guys a total pencil you know who really
36:24
got her going again. She heard a local radio host say that she deserved
36:29
to be hit in the face for touching him, so she called them out
36:32
for their opinion, explaining in all of her years of touring and being in
36:36
the public eye around rowdy fans. Her security team has never taken things that
36:39
far, she said, I've been with the most famous people in the world
36:43
in sync at one time. Don't trust me, girl. I remember girls
36:46
would like literally throw themselves at them on my way into a place. Actually,
36:51
I was knocked down like by three twelve year old girls trying to get
36:54
my picture. My security. Not once did they touch them or even come
36:59
near them. Why is he even addressing you? Said a local radio show
37:04
said this. Allegedly, they'll say anything to get a rise on people.
37:12
Anyway, I hope that she gets the piece she's looking for. Really,
37:16
just move on. Just want the first copy of the book. I just
37:20
need to know what's in that book. October twenty fourth can't get here soon
37:22
enough for me. Tom Cruise, he is showing up at movie theaters around
37:27
the country. Mission Impossibles in theaters and he just popped in. He's like
37:30
shaking hands, thanking everybody for going to see his movie. Imagine that situation.
37:36
You think he'll be bopping over into Westacres? Is it is west Acre
37:39
still there? And then there's Century ten? What about what about Safari in
37:45
Morehead? That one's toast right. I think it's so. I don't know
37:50
if that's pretty sure. It's like at church or something. Somebody seven two
37:52
eight ninety seven it's Safari Movie Theater and more head still open. You think
37:55
it's Safari Church. Now it's something. I don't know. I don't make
37:59
it over there much, but it's it used to be on the Dollar Theater,
38:01
which is just a glorious time to be alive. I remember going to
38:05
a movie there once. I was the only one in the theater. Really
38:07
had free rein in the place. Say, I remember that because my dad
38:10
used to want to go take me to that theater for movies because it was
38:13
so cheap. Oh, I just remember drivings, guys, drivings. Where
38:19
were we driving in
