Amanda Gives the Worst "Whatdya Do?" In Recent Memory · Podcast - Big 98.7

0:00
Are we ready, Amanda, because we are live on Facebook, on a
0:02
big ninety of point seven Facebook. Good morning, so good morning, and
0:05
here we go. Oh boy, it is time a little thing we knew
0:09
where we give each other these brutal hypothetical scenarios, and it's called what do
0:14
you do? It's become a really popular game, That's what I hear.
0:18
Anyway, when I'm out and abount. Oh yeah, people always stop and
0:21
say, oh my god, that game. Yeah, just ray reviews.
0:26
So, Amanda, I'd like you to give the first hypothet hypothetical situation afage
0:31
call in text. By the way, we will always want to know what
0:33
you would do. So seven one two eight oho one ninety eight seven.
0:36
Okay, you save a ton of money. You bought the house of your
0:39
dreams, you and your wife, you are loving it. You get to
0:41
know your neighbors. Even an extra bonus, Your neighbors are fantastic. Everything
0:46
is going swell. That'd be great because that's quite the opposite experience I've had.
0:52
So you're outside one day and you just sit there on the patio and
0:55
you notice in the window there's this little girl. But you you know that
1:00
your neighbor does not have a little girl, so you kind of just ignore
1:03
it. Who knows what's going on. Next day, you're out mowing the
1:07
yard and you just get this glimpse in that same window because it's been bothering
1:11
you, and all you see written is h e LP oh God help.
1:21
So Pike, you love your neighbor, You know your neighbor. Totally normal
1:26
people. What the heck is not that much? What do you do?
1:30
Call the police? That's it. I called the police. I immediately call
1:34
the police. I dial nine to one one and wait till them, to
1:38
wait till they arrive, and I tell them what I saw, okay,
1:42
and they investigate. Not nearly as fun as I thought it was gonna be.
1:46
Think I like my neighbor that much like I'm willing to look past a
1:49
little kidnapping as long as I can have a beer in their garage every once
1:53
in a while. Oh gosh, I don't know. It was really more
2:00
fun for me to write, I think, than anything. You witness a
2:04
complete stranger murder somebody in cold blood, so amena, that's just kidding.
2:13
You're the only witness. Look the other way. You have no emotional attachment
2:15
to the person whatsoever. All right, all right, Okay, it's a
2:22
little tougher, Amanda. You're running a marathon, a little tougher, a
2:27
lot tougher, twenty six miles, I think. All right, so you
2:31
are, and this is a big marathon. At stake is one million dollars
2:37
for first place. Second place gets zero dollars. So you're coming down to
2:44
the final stretch, just the last half mile, and you found yourself soundly
2:47
in second place, a good fifty feet behind the leader. As you come
2:53
down the final stretch, the leader, who happens to be a woman who's
2:58
a single mom of four, suddenly collapses just feet from the finish line.
3:02
Oh my gosh. You don't know what the problem is, but all you
3:07
know is you're about twenty feet from the finish line and a million dollars.
3:12
So, Amanda, oh man, this is so not realistic, but again,
3:16
hypothetic. That's the fun of the game. What do you do?
3:23
They usually have a medical team on staff around their don't. I mean,
3:27
yeah, they do. Honestly, i'd probably panic. You're gonna blame it
3:31
on panic. Oh my god, I panicked my way all the way across
3:35
the finish. I think i'd stop. I really do think I would stop
3:38
and just make sure she's okay, like run kind of slow down and go
3:43
good, you're good, you got yeah, like making sure that it's okay?
3:46
Are you? But you're still prioritizing finishing first, Well, I'm gonna
3:50
I'm gonna just skip to the finish line and make sure that like, like
3:54
my bib is noted as the winner. Okay, Yeah, you're prioritizing your
3:59
family. That's fine. Yeah, that's what I get. This lady in
4:01
her forte. No, it's fine. How do you know she's okay?
4:04
You know what I'll win and I'll give her fifty dollars. She's around to
4:13
accept it. Oh, stop it. I'm just saying it's critical. Well,
4:16
then somebody needed the money. There's always third place. You could help
4:23
the lady and just whoever's behind you could just finish, all right? All
4:26
right? Are you ready for this? Yep? You're a real bookworm.
4:30
You find a book and begin to read it, only to discover that this
4:32
book is about you. The whole book is about you. You get to
4:39
a chapter where you're at right now in life. The next chapter is your
4:46
future. The rest of the book is about it. Do you continue to
4:51
read or do you stop? So PI, what do you do? Could
5:04
you know what's going on? You know? I know some psychopaths who like
5:09
to read like the last couple pages of a book before they read the whole
5:13
thing. Really crazy to me, but that's what they do. So I
5:15
don't think I would do that. That'd be tough go to the last paragraph.
5:19
Can you imagine, I mean, all the way you would know just
5:23
how your whole life is going to be playing out. No, that's no,
5:26
absolutely not. Under no circumstance would I want to know the rest of
5:30
my life, not even just like one more chapter, Like you wouldn't be
5:32
tempted, You just dead end, like not to get to you know,
5:38
deep here. But it's like, isn't that what kind of keeps you going
5:41
in life? Is like the curiosity of what could be? That's what gives
5:45
you energy because there's still so much future ahead, you think, I guess
5:49
while Professor Pike over here, I like this, I like this energy.
5:53
Yeah, but here's the thing about it. At the very least, I'm
5:56
going to see how many pages are left, you know, Yeah, if
5:58
there's only one chet you like, or if it's like real thick are you
6:03
thinking like e? The next page is the note from the author. You
6:10
know you're in trouble index. Oh gosh, I usually hit the glossary.
6:15
You know it's over. We got Linda chimon In on Facebook. Stop reading.
6:17
I don't want to know. No, I don't either, Linda.
6:19
I'm with you, all right, Amana. Final, what do you do
6:21
on this beautiful day? You're offered a promotion at work where you will see
6:28
a pay increase of seventy five thousand additional dollars per year. It's a lot.
6:34
The only catch is that they're also going to hire a guy who follows
6:40
you for eight hours every day and will not stop screaming so man like a
6:46
loud talker or just like screaming like a kid, blood curdling scream. What
6:57
do you do well as a mom? I am very good about like tuning
7:00
things out, okay, but every day eight hours not worth it. I
7:06
couldn't. I couldn't do it. But I don't even know just having actually
7:13
it's not even the screaming, just having somebody follow me for eight hours nah,
7:15
kind of like a personal space person. I'm good. No that I
7:18
can't. Even even if I had said, like somebody that speaks slightly louder
7:23
than what is necessary. I would be like, no, can't do it
7:27
drives me crazy, Yeah, that would I'd be like anxious all the time
7:31
and that just would not be worth it. And put somebody through that and
7:35
for him, how exhausting you might. I kind of want to try to
7:39
see how long you could even just scream. But don't do that here,
7:42
would you know what, I'm not going to do it now, but just
7:44
in general, that would be that would be a feat. It would be
7:47
a feed, what an accomplishment to see how long you could scream? Put
7:51
that one in the trophy case. Okay, that's that's in the morning.
7:57
Eight point seven. Still, let's see, let's see. Oh yeah,
8:03
it's brought to you by Park Company Real Tours. Well yesterday, just a
8:07
lot of emotions. O. J. Simpson died seventy six years old.
8:11
Of course, it's sad when somebody dies. I am in the belief that
8:13
he murdered somebody for two people. Yeah, I've done a lot of of
8:18
course over the years, you hear a lot about Nicole Brown Simpson, but
8:20
Ron Goldman a real wrong place, wrong time situation, very sad. So
8:24
he reportedly died of prostate cancer, and actually it's funny you bring it up.
8:28
Ron Goldman's dad, who is still alive, released a statement yesterday saying,
8:31
the only thing I have to say, it's just a further reminder of
8:35
Ron being gone all these years. It's so sad about that. You think
8:37
back to the trial and Ron Goldman's dad sitting there when the verdict is read
8:43
and just hit to see the picture. Hop. Yeah, it's oh,
8:45
it breaks your heart. And then there was Caitlin Jenner who really just didn't
8:48
care at all and decided to jump on Twitter immediately and just say good riddance
8:54
hashtag O J. Simpson. Okay, there's different approaches. You can,
8:58
like think, then there's people who just say it, yeah, you know,
9:01
it's it's a tough one. If you'd believe that he killed two people,
9:05
he took their lives way prematurely, then yeah, then him dying probably
9:09
doesn't you know, messy up too bad. But remember that time he was
9:13
in farm just talking about this off air. He was dating a girl,
9:18
uh from around here for like thirteen years. I remember because growing up around
9:24
the area, he was at the Thumper Pond just golf and went and like,
9:26
what O. J. Simpson's here? It was I know everybody had
9:31
pictures with him instead wild And that was a conversation like if I see him,
9:35
am I gonna be like, hey, can I get a pick?
9:35
I'm like, I don't know. I don't think it's tough. It's hard
9:39
to say what you would do. It's what it's easy to say what you
9:41
would do and tell you're actually in the situation. Then suddenly you're like,
9:45
juice, juice, take a picture with me, not me nowhere? All
9:50
right, breaking news, you guys. The Golden Bachelor, Oh gear bear
9:54
in Teresa and Love Yes, divorced, already calling it quits. Didn't even
10:03
make it? What was that January first? Man? This is like Kim
10:07
Kardashian time here. Now did they even make it? Seventy two days?
10:11
Didn't do the math, but I will tell you this. They released a
10:13
statement this morning. Teresa and I have had a number of heart to heart
10:16
conversations, and we looked closely at our situation, our living situation, and
10:22
knew that was going to be the problem and so forth, and we've kind
10:26
of come to the conclusion mutually that it's probably time for us to dissolve our
10:30
marriage. It's according to Gary okay, well that ends a very probably weird
10:35
part of their lives. She says, We've received so much love and support
10:39
from so many people who watched, and I don't think we can tell you
10:43
enough that we're very happy that we gave you so much hope, and then
10:48
you adjust you did hook it away from home. I guess personally I did
10:52
not receive any hope from either of those people, but any Kardashian admits that
11:01
she when she was feeling sick, She's like, you know what, I
11:03
want to get to feeling better now. She has a new baby, and
11:07
a lot of times when babies are sick or they have like skin stuff,
11:09
you always think, you know what, put a little breast milk on that.
11:11
So Courtney Kardashian she believes in that. She's a very holistic person.
11:16
She said, I pounded a glass of my own breast milk when I was
11:18
feeling sick. I don't know if she revealed whether or not. I didn't
11:22
see if it helped, but I'm just picturing rubbing milk on myself and it
11:28
just seems stupid. It's liquid gold. It's incredible. It would be the
11:31
only thing that could come out of a human body that you'd be willing to
11:33
take a drink of. Oh, if you think about it, it really
11:39
say with gold though, I get it. Why do you what does that
11:41
mean? I mean I wouldn't rub gold on myself, either whether it was
11:45
liquid or not. I mean, I'm all for a good ointment. Okay,
11:48
get amana in the morning. Seven. If you've ever had to hire
11:52
a babysitter, it's your kid. So there's a certain expectation, right one
11:56
hundred percent from a requirements a person would need to meet. But this person
12:00
has gone viral because they posted an ad looking for a babysitter, but the
12:05
requirements listed. I mean it seemed a little excessive to me, a childless
12:09
person. So I want your perspective as a mamatu runner through the ringer.
12:11
What do we got babysitter needed asap? It reads, I need someone to
12:16
watch my four kids, ages two, three, five, and seven.
12:20
No, thank you, No, I'm just kidding. And Nene the six
12:22
Monday through Friday, okay, not bad, just weekdays, middle of the
12:24
day, okay, must be a great cook and avid cleaner. So is
12:31
this a nanny situation with house cleaning, like you know, I don't know
12:37
what to them. A great cook means like somebody, are you just capable
12:41
of cooking? Or are we looking for chef boy r D? Yeah exactly,
12:43
like can you can you put easymack in and make a peb and J
12:48
or we talk like start the oven and not burn the house down? Right
12:52
over? Twenty five years old the requirement so looking for a full adult.
12:56
That's I mean, it seems a little high. If you're looking for a
12:58
baby, yeah, but you got four kids. I'm going to want somebody
13:01
like incredibly responsible, but not with twenty threes and so good. See I'm
13:05
a little weird and you have to know the person also. But if I'm
13:09
putting an ad out there, I remember what I was like when I was,
13:11
you know, eighteen to twenty four. You're going out doing your thing
13:16
kind of selfish like at twenty five then it's no. This is more of
13:18
a taking it serious, but taking it up a notch even further, Amanda.
13:22
They require a minimum education of a master's degree. This poor soul.
13:30
How are you getting a master's by twenty five? I mean that's just I
13:33
mean, it's a it's a tough job market right now. A lot of
13:35
times that you'll see, you know, entry level position educates are required,
13:39
master's degree, masters in cooking, cleaning and what was the other one?
13:45
That's it? So being being oh avid cleaner and avid clean Yeah. Also,
13:48
this person, for their babysitter role, requires that you have no social
13:54
media accounts because in parentheses she says, I don't need my kids seeing that.
14:00
Hey also requests that no drinking, no smoking, not even vaping,
14:03
which okay, fair, yeah, no, gotcha, No tattoos or piercings,
14:07
because my gosh, is this the eighteen hundreds your first job? Holy
14:13
smokes? Yeah, pretty rough. You need five professional references. Oh we're
14:18
still going, Yeah, there's more, a couple more. Then of course
14:22
they'll be connected. Sure, if that's easy. You should have profession absolutely
14:26
previous work experience. Tiger's hitting, Hang on, what's it got here?
14:31
No distractions of one hundred and fifty eight yard second shot? Look? Oh
14:35
my god, he's pen seeking. Look at that. Anyways, all right,
14:39
so this babysitter also says we'll do a background check and drug test that
14:43
will be conducted. Well, again, fair job, pay man, After
14:46
all that, you think this will be a primo position. Four kids.
14:50
I'm going twenty forty sixty eight one hundred bucks an hour. Try two hundred
14:54
bucks for the whole week. And remember that would be six hours a day
15:00
times five that's thirty hours. She's crazy. Yeah, this is a lunatic,
15:05
almost as crazy as that second shot from Tiger. A little scared for
15:09
her kids too, by the way, yaoza, Yeah, no, this
15:13
is okay. Either completely fake or it's not. There's no other way around
15:18
it. So he's making a little spoof. It says polease call, and
15:22
it has the person's name. If you had to guess their first name,
15:24
is a woman, tell me it's it's it's not, but it's Tammy,
15:30
which I love all the tammy is I know, love me a Tammy?
15:35
I love it. Oh, every Tammy I know is great. Not this,
15:39
dammy. I don't like this trending. Now, here's what you need
15:43
to know. Well, here's a friendly reminder. Monday is tax day,
15:48
and this is a not so friendly reminder. Did you know that the average
15:50
American will pay about five hundred and twenty four thousand, six hundred and twenty
15:54
five dollars in taxes over the course of their life. I don't even know
15:58
if I'm take that much? What oh yeah, ooh yeah, I mean
16:03
have you done yours? Yeah, yesterday. Wouldn't signed off on them because
16:07
it's like enough, Oh, I've just been putting it off because it was
16:11
just so and I know, like tax because we take it to a tax
16:12
guy and like nothing's crazy for them, but it just for me. It
16:17
was like literally in twenty twenty three, we lived in three states, three
16:21
different houses, like four five jobs between us a business. It's like it's
16:26
just I don't know, it's very annoying. It just feels like a lot.
16:30
So let me guess you're gonna be an extension boy. Well, yeah,
16:33
they extended it for us. Got yeah, So that bias a little
16:37
time anyway, And no surprise here, Iowa will retire Caitlin Clark's number twenty
16:42
two jersey in honor of her record breaking career. Of course, I bet
16:47
they just took the jersey off and they're like, okay, we're gonna take
16:49
this. It's probably already framed, ready to go, but just awesome for
16:52
her. Yeah, I mean, that's that's a great way to honor her
16:56
for forever. Nobody can wear the double twos. Ever again, no,
16:59
which is too bad because that's a cool number. Double two's Yeah, No,
17:02
I like that. Everyone wanted to I remember growing up, everybody wanted
17:03
to be twenty one. Remember that. No, see ten and five you're
17:07
just saying that. No, I'm not nobody wanted to be ten or five.
17:11
That was when I was playing basketball in some of the eighth grade,
17:14
ten and five were the hot numbers. Ony, correct, Amanda, Please,
17:17
twenty one was the hot numbers. Okay, every cool like and you
17:21
know there's always the one Wolverines. There was always the best athlete. It
17:26
was just like conceded that they got to wear twenty one. Yeah. Well,
17:30
when I was in dance, I'm I didn't have a number, but
17:33
my uniform was great. We're talking about sports, that's dances, Big Night,
17:41
Second dot Com. I'm just kidding. My wife reminds me all the
17:45
time how difficult dance was and the fact that you have to maintain a smile
17:49
the whole time doing these very physical things, well, jumping in all of
17:52
it. Yes, and she says, let me see you do the splits,
17:55
let me see you do a high kick. Yeah, she goes,
17:59
WHOA, that backfired? I start going into a little routine never mind.
18:10
Wow, Pike, I had no idea you had such moves. All right,
18:14
McDonald's is debuting in the world's first scented billboard. It smells like a
18:18
happy meal. It's in the Netherlands. I don't get it. You're not
18:22
gonna drive by and smell it. Give your wind, no doubt. I
18:25
don't know. You know something so much scent? Are you gonna have to
18:27
get on that thing? It doesn't take much to lure me into a restaurant,
18:32
you know, you drive by like a KFC. It's like, well,
18:33
I guess I'm having a bucket today. Seriously, Sometimes those smells just
18:37
hoking. There's a guy over on one of these other radio stations whipping up
18:41
a pizza this morning, and it is killing me. Every time I go
18:45
get coffee, I'm like, oh my gosh. I know, I feel
18:48
like I'm like on one of those old Disney cartoons where the scent, the
18:52
smell oh yes, comes wafting in and you start floating toward it. Totally.
18:56
All right, Today is going to be beautiful, happy, finally Friday,
19:00
sunny sixty today really no win. So if you're hitting the courses because
19:03
they're all open. You're gonna have a great You're gonna have a great day.
19:06
I don't know about a great round. The weather will be good.
19:08
Yeah, definitely a great day tomorrow up to seventy five, like it a
19:15
minute in the morning on Big Nuddy eight points seven. Well, we have
19:18
known for some time, Amanda, that beautiful people are without a down and
19:22
an advantage. I mean, would you admit that? Yeah? I mean
19:26
I guess at certain points of their life probably, I don't know if overall,
19:30
like certain points like the beginning of it and then every day until the
19:33
end of it. Because that's what studies are showing. There's just recently been
19:37
a study on how people view more attractive people, and it found that those
19:44
to be considered more you know, traditionally attractive, are more trusted. They're
19:48
considered more trustworthy. Really. Yeah. They did this whole study with people
19:52
who didn't know each other, and it rated how much they would trust somebody
19:56
give it a certain situation. Am I crazy? I honestly think I'd be
20:00
like, hmm, I'd have a little eyebrows kind of like, I don't
20:03
know, are you It's hard here because it's also like on a subconscious level,
20:07
like you don't realize it, but let's be honest, you know,
20:11
look around you like who the people who are successful. You know, they've
20:15
done studies forever that individuals benefit from being traditionally beautiful. And I know they
20:19
say beauty is in the eyevy beholder, and it is when it comes to
20:23
you know, your own personal relationship and what. But like professionally, you
20:29
know, look on your TV. What are you seeing? You know what
20:32
I mean? Yeah, But also I feel like personality outweighs beauty and a
20:37
lot of regards. I don't know, man, I've seen some dumb beautiful
20:41
people getting pretty high up in certain places. But they say certain high paying
20:45
professions are of course built around beauty, like you know, show business obviously,
20:51
but then other employment they found individuals who are beautiful consistently are expected to
20:56
be more intelligent and thought to be better leaders, and that influences their career
21:02
trajectory. But again, I think it feels like it's in the eyes of
21:04
the beholder what industry you're in and where you're at. You know, there's
21:07
also a lot of people who maybe aren't that good looking, sitting behind computers
21:11
making a ton of money. Well yeah, but that's the key is you're
21:14
sitting behind a computer. You know, yeah you're not. But just like
21:15
in business, I mean, like think as salespeople, and of course there
21:18
are salespeople who maybe you wouldn't consider traditionally beautiful, but you know, it's
21:23
just there's something about it, I don't know. And also confidence, don't
21:26
you feel like that makes like the world of difference. Yeah, right,
21:30
because if you are if you like, if I was like six to two
21:32
chiseled, great jawline, I'd be walking around nothing could stop me, you
21:37
know. But you you have a confident like stride about you. I feel
21:41
like I kind of walk on my tippy toes, don't I Like, in
21:44
a minute in the morning on big Man. This is sort of heartbreaking and
21:51
clever in a way. But imagine that you're an artist, okay, and
21:55
you're working at a museum okay, because you just love art, right,
21:59
So you got a job working at this museum. And this is a story
22:02
of a fifty one year old man over in Germany who works at one of
22:04
these this really renowned museum with famous paintings from like household names you know,
22:11
you know, Da Vinci bobb jelly, and so this Gangelo. This guy's
22:19
going to work every day thinking, you know, he's one day closer than
22:22
never achieving his dream. He's fifty one years old. He goes home every
22:26
night's and paints. So he's finally had enough. So one night after work
22:32
he gets one of his own pieces from home and installs it in the museum.
22:37
Oh creative, right, So he didn't destroy somebody else's. He just
22:41
decided, do you know what, I'm gonna put a piece of my art
22:42
up for the showcase. I like this energy. I'm picturing all these like
22:47
beautiful paintings, and then there's like your kids think your fridge totally my vision.
22:52
But two times one of these things is not like the others. To
22:56
be fair, I'm not an artist, and I would go to a museum
22:59
and kind of be like I could have done that, just because I'm really
23:03
naive when it comes to that. Well, this guy drilled his forty seven
23:07
by twenty four inch painting into the wall, and it was a member of
23:11
the gallery that said, all I can say is we did not receive any
23:17
positive feedback on the addition from visitors to the gallery. The employee was promptly
23:22
fired. But you know, at the old college try yeah, because who
23:26
knows, maybe somebody would have been like, oh my gosh, imagine somebody
23:30
coming in with a cigar. I'm going, how much is that? Donal
23:33
wo is this artist? I need this painting? That's a that's like I'm
23:42
picturing like kind of Corella Deville. Yeah, a little bit. Oh no,
23:48
that's a French wrench. Yeah. They're all there. They're all there
23:51
in a group together. It's one of these you pay to get a tour
