Well, it's heating up out there, meaning that your air conditioning unit is
0:03
putting in the work the real VIP, the real goat, and we're not
0:08
even getting the heat like the rest of the States. We were just looking
0:11
at the TV. But it's one hundred and nine in a lot of places.
0:14
It is red everywhere, especially come July sixteenth in a little city called
0:19
Paris, where the summer Olympics will be held. And now the Olympic Village
0:24
Amanda does not have air conditioning. There is not air conditioning at the Olympic
0:29
village. Is the temperature roughly around that time? It is the hottest time
0:34
of year in Paris. They say four years ago there was a heat wave
0:37
where temperatures were above one hundred and eight degrees, but it definitely even allowed
0:42
that to be. Where this is going on. Here's a crazy thing.
0:45
In Europe. Overall, less than one out of ten households actually have air
0:49
conditioning, and it gets hot all across Europe. So instead, at this
0:54
Olympic village, they've installed something else that is not air conditioning, but it's
0:59
a geo cooling system basically assist a series of pipes that have water running through
1:04
them. They say, well, keep the rooms somewhere between seventy three and
1:07
seventy nine degrees. Well, I don't know if I this sounds like DIVA
1:12
alert. I don't know if I could sleep in those conditions. Well you're
1:15
not alone, because the US of A said, you know what, that's
1:19
fine, We're just going to bring our own air conditioning units. So now
1:23
Team USA will be bringing their own units. I can only imagine what that
1:27
costs. Well, it's it's of no issue, man, it's Team USA.
1:32
It's don't make the world. It's the biggest competition in the world.
1:34
They say to you can't even sneak on a carry on for one hundred dollars.
1:38
Well, they said, they talked to the athletes and they said that
1:42
it is a very high priority for them that the rooms be consistent with what
1:45
they're used to. So they're going to be bringing their own to enhance their
1:49
performance capabilities. It's not the only country. Australia, for example, they
1:55
plan to spend one hundred thousand dollars to bring their own air conditioning. Yeez,
1:59
and I say, well, they appreciate the concept of not having air
2:01
conditioning due to the carbon footprint. It leaves. They say they're going to
2:07
bring their own anyway. So that is so interesting that we would I mean,
2:13
I guess I don't know. People always vote to see where we're going
2:15
to have the next Olympic Games and all that, but you would think that
2:17
would have been like one of the number one things. Is there comfortable quarters
2:22
for people? Yeah? Right now. I know a lot of people like
2:25
don't use air conditioning. For example, over the weekend, Amanda, I
2:30
was in Florida. We went down to visit my wife's dad who lives in
2:32
Orlando, and it's just hot all the time, and you know, he's
2:37
getting up there. He's like probably sixty nine, and so I know a
2:38
lot of the older you get sometimes you're on certain meds that just make you
2:42
cold, or you just don't have as much padding as you used to,
2:45
right, I'm not kidding. The house and love him, appreciate it hosting
2:51
us. The house was eighty one degrees and I know that because that's what
2:54
the thermostat was set at eighty one degree one one degrees. Why do you
3:00
even function in that? Well, you lay there and you sweat. Oh
3:07
and you're already a sweaty snicker. I mean you've told me this, like,
3:12
no, I'm a sweat Yes, I've shared that information with you.
3:15
Yes, I was very sweaty. Listen, a ceiling fan goes a long
3:19
ways, but not not at eighty one. I mean, hey, you
3:22
save money. Of course, what do you keep your guys this place at
3:24
because we're sixty eight, Like that's really Nick would love to go down to
3:29
like sixty six, but I'm like, I gotta be sixty eight. See
3:32
that's interesting because ours now we live in an apartment currently and it's included,
3:36
like we don't pay the electric. Yeah, so you know, obviously you
3:38
get a little more free wheeling with it. But I would say, like
3:43
seventy one during the day, oh really yeah, sixty eight is pretty cold.
3:46
And I used to be like that, but now for some reason,
3:49
I don't know, like seven seventy at night is final and it is,
3:52
but like last night, especially because it was so hot outside coming in,
3:55
it was an ice box in our house. But I'm like, I like
3:59
blankets, like no matter what it's like. Yeah, I know it's ninety
4:01
right now, but I like coming to my house and having a blanket off
4:03
and being cozy that way. I like coming into the house and being able
4:06
to say out loud, gee, you could hang sausages in here? Yeah?
4:15
I like what? I like that? What is that? I don't?
4:17
I know it's my temperature. Then I think it has to be a
4:19
certain attempt to hang. So you're a big hot sausage guy. What besides
4:25
the point? But yes, like it a minday in the morning, Big
4:28
nainety eight point seven The judgment zone. Do I need to put some serious
4:32
pants on, or well judging pants at the very least, because you know,
4:35
we really once a week at least like to give you the opportunity to
4:39
judge somebody else's unfortunate situation. And they've agreed to it, which is why
4:43
they've called in and entered the judgment zone. Now today. Her name is
4:46
Sarah and she's got a tough one. So listen in and get your judge
4:49
pants ready. Here we go. Good morning, Sarah. What's going on?
4:53
Yeah? Okay, Well, my husband comes from a big family and
4:57
they love to take trips together, and we're to go on the next vacation
5:00
with them. But I really don't want to, Like there's always some family
5:04
drama and I would rather spend our money and time off work to go somewhere
5:10
with just my husband, right, you know, definitely fair? Yes,
5:14
yeah, it sounds like more fun to me. No, I mean,
5:17
Sarah, how often would you say that you're going on these big family trips
5:20
with your in laws at least a couple times a year? Big family guy?
5:25
Huh? Yeah, yeah, and that's good. It's good that he's
5:27
a family guy. But I could do without the drama. I could really
5:30
use a break from everything, and I just want to be with him.
5:33
But when I bring this up, he says that I just need to suck
5:35
it up because it's family. And I'm wondering how I can make him understand
5:41
and agree to skip this whole getaway. Okay, gosh, and are we
5:45
talking like a week long getaway weekends? Kind of a mix? Uh,
5:49
it's a week which feels like a month. Yea, that's tough because you
5:54
only get a certain amount offication days, I'm sure. And yeah, it
5:57
would be nice to not have to a lot two vacations a year. You
6:00
think there'd be some sort of compromise to narrow it down to at least like
6:04
one or shorten it up, so it's just you guys go for a certain
6:06
amount of the time. There's got to be some compromise exactly. Well,
6:12
let's see what people think. This is an interesting one. So we'll get
6:15
some calls, we'll get some texts, and get some thoughts on what you
6:16
exactly should do given that your husband is not willing to budge and wants you
6:21
to go on multiple big family trips a year. So Sarah hank tied and
6:25
listen in Okay, okay, all right, seven to one, two to
6:28
eight ozho one ninety eight seven. What should Sarah do? She's got a
6:30
less situation where I mean a bit of champagne problems, like, oh my
6:33
god, too many vacations. Yeah, but I get it. I mean
6:38
if you say you get a lot of people get seven to ten days of
6:41
vacation a year, and if it's with your in laws the whole time,
6:44
and I get there's traditions and that's always hard to break. But there comes
6:47
a point where you're gonna have to put your foot down, and I get
6:50
adjust. Up until now, this has been part of his life where he's
6:54
just going on all of these family trips. But you know, once you
6:56
start dating somebody and it gets serious, like now you got your own life,
6:59
and yeah, you can still do those things, but you also got
7:00
to create kind of your own traditions, right And at the same time,
7:05
if anybody, if you've been in a relationship with a little something called in
7:09
laws, you know there are things you do just to sort of appease that
7:13
side of your life that maybe you wouldn't want to otherwise, but you just
7:17
do it because that's what you do. Now, if you both absolutely hate
7:21
it, then of course don't go well, and that's the problem. It
7:24
would be different if it was that case, but it's the exact opposite.
7:28
This guy is like all in this is he might look forward to it.
7:31
Ladies, Chiman and all up on Facebook? Are you ready bike? This
7:34
is going to crack you up, Addie chiming in saying you could just stay
7:38
home and let him go on the trip. Top fan Yolanda says, pretend
7:42
to have a headache. Oh that's okay, ladies, it doesn't work for
7:45
everything. I have a headache. I'm not going on a week long trip.
7:48
Nice try ah And oh yeah it's in three months, Okay, I'll
7:51
probably have a headache then too, Right, I'm just guessing seven one,
7:56
two, eight oh one, ninety eight seven. What should he do or
7:59
she'd good morning. Well, I think that she should have set some boundaries
8:03
early on, if that was really how she felt. I feel like family
8:07
is too important. I think she's got to suck it up and go.
8:11
So you think it's too late. She didn't set boundaries early enough, and
8:13
so now it's just she's sol I think that ship has sailed. I mean,
8:16
if she didn't set those boundaries early on, I think any family event
8:20
kind of takes precedent. So I think she's got to go. Thanks for
8:24
the perspective, Adam. Appreciate you calling. Thank you so much. Yeah,
8:28
you just don't have to go. Every time you're an adult, it's
8:31
this time you realize that you don't have to do anything you don't want to
8:33
do, regardless of what your spouse says or otherwise. I don't lead to
8:39
divorce by no means, it's just more of a not today, yeah,
8:43
or that would be an option to it. Really push comes to shove,
8:46
just mile over divorce. There you go. I get Amanda in the morning.
8:48
I know Amanda still let's see. Let's see. Well, Ben Aflackie
8:54
kind of lost it, and I don't blame him. When the paparazzi are
8:58
literally all up in you're grilled when you're trying to get home. That's got
9:01
to get frustrating. He was actually at his shared home with Jennifer Lopez.
9:05
I know she's in Italy, still, she just put a carousel of pictures
9:09
of herself and there's did you see the paparazzi taking pictures of her taking pictures
9:13
of herself? No? It actually kind of made me sad. Is this
9:16
just like a self love vacation? Like what's going on? You know?
9:20
I just felt Meanwhile, it's quite the opposite of for Ben who's trying to
9:24
get home and they're flashing lights while he's driving, which is annoying. Yeah,
9:28
especially when your kids are going to be close by. Listen, I
9:30
can't see gause, somebody hurt doing nice. My daughter's coming down here.
9:35
If you flash the lights on her, you're putting her in danger. Do
9:37
you understand that? I understand. And the paparazzi are standing there. Let
9:41
it's very much like getting yelled at by like your friend's parents when you were
9:46
a kid. You're just like, oh god, yes, oh sorry,
9:48
sorry I have to respond here. But yes, there's no getting away from
9:54
it. Unfortunately. No, I know it's crazy, you really like,
9:58
really nuts, but what can you do, you know, just go in
10:01
your house and continue being rich and famous and that'll probably make it all better.
10:05
Well, he did try to move to brett Wood and was hoping that
10:07
that was gonna keep the paparazzi office tail, and that didn't help. I
10:11
gotta feel no fine yet, Man, this is gonna get interesting. We
10:15
know Pat Sajack is out and Ryan Seacrest is in. Vana White signed an
10:18
extended two year contract because she was excited to just kind of keep rolling.
10:22
She wasn't quite ready to retire. Well, now we're finding out from a
10:26
source behind the scenes that there's no vibe between Ryan and Vanna. I guess
10:31
Rianna's really struggling and she might quit before her contract's done. I feel like
10:35
the only reason they kept her on is just to like ease for the viewers
10:37
anyway, to like ease the transition, so it's not just all new all
10:41
at once, you know. And now that that's sort of served its purpose,
10:45
maybe she can find work elsewhere. I don't know, if you're what
10:48
do you think her resume looks like? Or what does she search when she's
10:50
looking for new jobs. I don't think she's had to. I think she's
10:54
probably cash in and how a life of luxury. I don't even know what
10:56
you would what does humor? Me just pretend game show talent, not host,
11:01
but sidekick. I don't even know letter letter turner. I just don't
11:07
know what's out there in that market. And I could be totally wrong,
11:11
you know, I don't know she could you know what could happen. She
11:13
could go to the Prices right and just tell Drew Carrey, I'm just gonna
11:18
be by the wheel and that's it, like just there ortise help with like
11:22
plank o or yeah yeah, yeah yeah, because there's plank like you flip
11:26
it over to reveal the actual retail price. And she could do that.
11:31
He kind of I think he kind of handles all of that. One of
11:33
the showcase show girls. Are they still around? I haven't watched Prices right
11:37
for so many years. You're gonna have somebody showing off the he and kids
11:46
and actually families are just gonna love this. Eddie Murphy confirmed we're getting more
11:50
Shrek. We started doing a trick for four or five months ago. I
11:54
did this. I recorded the first act, and we'll be doing this year,
12:01
will finished it up and be another Shrek is coming out, and there's
12:03
a Donkey. Donkey's gonna have his own movie. We're gonna do a Dunkey
12:07
Donkey as well. So we're gonna do a Shrek and we're doing a Dunky.
12:11
That's nice. I mean, I'm excited about that. I woke up
12:13
this morning thinking, I hope I hear Eddie Burby say Donkey fifteen times,
12:18
and well I got Dunky. Not quite but it was close. No,
12:20
that's great. Those are just timeless movies. I mean hilarious. I still
12:24
I don't know if I've seen four? Is there a fourth out there?
12:28
I thought they were doing four. I must have missed it because but then
12:31
they started. It's not like Shrek for like Shrek married after Shrek married,
12:37
and this will be Shrek divorced. And then yes, we've got Shrek,
12:41
Shrek to Shrek, the third, Shrek, the holes. I missed Shrek
12:46
a special Holiday, yeah, right, the DVD movie Shrek Forever after ah,
12:52
and then I don't know, there's a voice, so Mike Meyers a
12:54
Shrek in fun fact, you have you ever heard that? It was supposed
12:58
to be Chris Barley. That's how far back these movies go, Like when
13:01
the first one is being made, they had Chris Farley and then he passed
13:05
away. Gosh, I just think I knew that, Dyana? Who are
13:07
you? Who are looking for a Cameron Diamonds? Fiona? Yep? Donkey?
13:13
Is Eddie Murphy? Any other household names in there? Nothing that's really
13:16
ringing any bells over here? Do you know who John Lithgow is? Oh?
13:20
Yeah, from Third Rock from the Sun. Okay, that's a that's
13:24
a lord fark war Uh huh. You don't want to take a whack at
13:28
that pass and Amanda in the morning on sage seven names are in most popular
13:35
gender neutral baby names of twenty twenty four because they're becoming more and more popular.
13:41
Oh totally. I think a lot of people don't want to fight out
13:43
the gender of their child and they come up with one name and it's like
13:46
this is it, let's roll. Yeah, And very few gender neutral names
13:50
are exactly neutral, you know it definitely like leans one way. Like for
13:54
example, the number one gender neutral name of twenty twenty four was Dylan.
13:58
Now when you hear Dylan, I automatically think of a boy thing of a
14:01
fella. But a lot of people are looking for like unique names these days,
14:05
and so this is a good way to find a unique name. It's
14:07
just naming uh the baby sort of maybe the opposite sex name that just Dylan.
14:13
Dylan, Uh definitely feels more manly to me, or it does.
14:16
Yeah, I'm trying to picture dating a Dylan for example, and it just
14:22
you known. But then again you could talk me into it depending on the
14:26
person. Well, and I'm the spelling of that, is it? D
14:28
I L l O N for a girl, Amanda? You can do whatever
14:33
you want do I L A N is how they have it on the official
14:35
Social Securities list, And you know they keep tabs on names in the generally
14:39
they're pretty accurate about it. Now a couple on here angel or now would
14:45
that be on hale? Okay, I've ever had anybody say on hell on
14:52
hell for on hell? You literally if you've never seen Amanda, you are
14:56
Spanish? I am like and so I made My name is Soronto like the
15:01
Chili. So why am I a gringo sit here not saying it correctly?
15:09
I took two years of Spanish and I think I knew less by the end
15:11
of it than I did when I started in high school. Okay, No,
15:16
that's also that's not gonna work for me. A male Angel, I
15:18
think you're just really I watched the show You ever watch Sons of Anarchy?
15:24
No, okay, great show. I know you haven't seen it because it's
15:26
a great show. But they did a spin off called The Mayans, and
15:31
there was a Spanish gentleman on their named Angel. Okay, but yeah,
15:35
no, I mean it works. A couple others are like Parker. Oh,
15:39
hang on, Parker for a girl. I like that. I like
15:41
Parker better for a girl than a guy. Yeah, that one I'm gonna
15:45
I'm gonna go gender neutral. That's my favorite so far on the list.
15:48
Logan another one I struggle with for a lady. See, I actually like
15:52
Logan for a girl. Avery that one I do with a guy or girl
15:58
a girl? Oh? Really? See that one? Truly I think can
16:02
go both ways. And this is coming from a guy. It's a shock
16:04
you, but my birth name is not Pike and it's very gender neutral for
16:08
the time, especially Taylor, which nobody in the world calls me that other
16:12
than my wife. Yeah, it is very weird. When somebody calls you
16:15
Taylor, it's jarring too. It's daring to me. Even my friends from
16:18
high school, like, I have seven different nicknames, none of which are
16:22
that so, yeah, Taylor is definitely gender and neutral. Yeah. Well,
16:26
I mean, we had a class of seventy at dilwarth glinnon Felton High
16:27
School and in our class, three of us were named Taylor, and we
16:32
were all guys, and we all had nobody was called that. We all
16:34
had nicknames. You were the first boy Taylor I had met. I always
16:38
knew girl Taylor's Yeah, and there's a couple of famous girls named Taylor that
16:42
kind of you know, my god, add some luster to the name.
16:48
Weird that that didn't even cross my mind, right, Yeah? Yeah,
16:51
her and I always bonded in that way. Missus Swift, Did you did
16:56
meet Taylor at one point? I say hi, Jan Taylor or did you
16:59
say I? I blew? Well, I didn't say anything, but that's
17:02
that would have been a great line. I was so nervous I couldn't speak.
17:04
All I had to do is say, hey, we have the same
17:07
name. You guys could have been t squared. I don't know. Who
17:11
this Travis guy is. But I mean, of course Lauren was the one
17:15
meant for you. Of course imagine back, you know, yeah, if
17:18
you could have got a retention with that, how how different our lives could
17:21
be? All right? Is there any other good ones on there? I
17:25
know they're all bad? So like Rowan Carter Kai. If you have another
17:30
child they have considered Kai. Actually our kids go to school with a Kai.
17:33
Yeah, super cute. I like, I like Kai, and I
17:36
do like it for a boy. The other feels like half of something else.
17:41
There should be more to it. We have a friend or a little
17:45
nephew name or a cousin named Kais. I like Ku? Oh stop it?
17:48
Yeah? And I don't know this child or it's parents, and I
17:52
don't want to offend them. But Kaiss like right, that couldn't Like I
17:57
had just said about Kai. It feels like it's half of another word.
18:00
Could Like I know I have friends with a kid named Kaison. There's a
18:04
lot of Kysons running around Heisen. I've never heard that name really, Kyson.
18:08
Yeah, that's like I know what called you would call Kaison Hi or
18:14
kiss? But to just all right, hey, trending, Now here's what
18:19
you need to know. The Pargo Police Department is seeking the public selp and
18:22
locating in two vehicles that we're seeing leaving at high speeds. This was following
18:27
a fatal shooting. This happened last night in the twenty two hundred block of
18:30
sixth Avenue South right here in Fargo. So the two vehicles are gray Hyundai
18:34
Santa Fe north to goo to plates are six to eight dz R. And
18:37
then there's also an orange Jeep Compass with unknown plates. If you have any
18:41
information, contact police. If you do see these vehicles, do not approach,
18:45
Just call nine to one one. That's right over here. I know
18:48
you can't see where I'm at or where I'm pointing, but it is right
18:52
over here. It sure is. Man Snoop Dogg. I totally forgot because
19:00
we the headline everybody's seeing is he ran a race for the Olympic Trials,
19:03
a two hundred meter dash. I'm like, oh wha, what is he
19:07
doing? His athlete era, Well, he is going to be doing some
19:11
commentating, remember for the Olympics, which I think will be kind of fun.
19:15
I like that they're adding that they should have it, like you know
19:17
how Monday night football has the Manning cast like the alternative. Yes, yes,
19:19
yeah, you should be able to flip over and just have Snoop dogg
19:22
no preparation because you've seen him do like the nature videos, right, he'll
19:26
just sit there. Not it's like Planet Earth with Snoop Dog and he just
19:30
sits there and talks about whatever he sees. He's just like, oh what
19:33
is that? Oh what what's he doing? Oh? Oh well he's gonna
19:37
get him now. See it's hilarious. So he did the two hundred meter
19:41
and he locked in a time of thirty four point four to four seconds.
19:44
For comparison, the twenty twenty Olympic gold medalist had nineteen point six two seconds.
19:49
Yip, I mean fifty two. It's bess with than you thing.
19:53
Maybe I don't know, I don't know. He's got his long limbs too.
19:56
You think he just kind of be able to high step his way to
19:59
a sub thirty. But he might smoke a little too much for a running
20:03
gut. Well, it's not great for the lungs, I'm told. And
20:07
Stanley now targeting your poor little kids ages like three to five. They've got
20:11
a ten out Stanley that they're selling it target for twenty bucks. It's gone
20:15
viral because people are like, oh my gosh, my kid has a Stanley.
20:18
I mean, I will tell you this, it feels like a problem.
20:22
But then I started thinking, because my kids need new water bottles,
20:26
and the ones that they have are like fourteen bucks and they're the plastic ones
20:30
with the little animals on them anyway, like Camelbacker think is the name of
20:33
them, Camelback And they don't even keep the water cold long enough, so
20:37
kind of has me going, maybe they as Stanley at least I know we'll
20:41
keep the cold it does, and like literally days can go by and there's
20:44
still ice in there, which is wild. I'm not really not needed.
20:48
And I hate hating on Stanley because I also love that that's still the old
20:52
school thermos that you know, my dad's using it the hunting shack. Yeah
20:56
right, it really made a call. And they still do, you know,
20:59
like a screwdrivers and things like that, right, really Stanley, Oh
21:04
yeah, they do all kinds of products. Huh really, let me look
21:08
it up really in the game, all right, yeah, oh Stanley,
21:11
Oh this is just a tip of the iceberg. Well, well you look
21:14
that up. Speaking of water, make sure you stay hydrated. Today it
21:17
is gonna be hot again. High of eighty six, nothing but sunshine.
21:19
Looking ahead at your forecast tomorrow cools down a little to seventy five, and
21:23
while Pike is still searching, we are going, you are We're gonna be
21:27
in the mid seventies of the week. Did you see Saturday? Though?
21:30
I saw like a sixty six in Lakes Area? Not having that really?
21:34
Yeah, a little too chilly for me. All right, So here's where
21:37
the portion of the show where we just list products that Stanley produces. I'm
21:41
at Stanley Tools dot Com and under it just hand tools alone. We've got
21:45
measuring and layout tools, levels, bucking yeah, screwdrivers, pliers, snips.
21:52
I mean, you want me to go into the outdoor. So now
21:55
I think we're probably good here. Pressure Stanley's your guy, pretty good stuff.
22:00
Can you send this clip see if we can let them know that we've
22:03
been talking about them. Let's get Stared to New York City, see if
22:11
they'll hire us. Oh, got it? Because this is such just such
22:14
a good stray programming like Get Amanda in the Morning on Big Amanda just said
22:22
something out loud to me and it's one of those moments where you think you
22:23
know somebody I know and you think that they know you, and then I
22:27
I as soon as I said it, and then I like thought about it,
22:30
and then you looked at me. It was like, uh duh.
22:33
You know, for as much as you hear us conversing on the radio,
22:37
there's ten times that much conversing that has to happen between you know, what
22:41
songs and commercials are playing, so we get to chatting quite a lot.
22:45
I like to think you know a lot about me and vice versa. I
22:47
mean, you just almost fifteen years of knowing each other. Amanda just asked
22:51
out loud. She just goes, hey, do you play fantasy football?
22:56
I know, if I were to like rain the things that are important about
23:00
me, if I want what I want people to know about me, It's
23:04
like, you know, plays in a band, likes the golf, and
23:08
loves fantasy football. I mean, come on, what I kind of question
23:11
is that? I know? Well, I just stumbled on this thing and
23:14
it's a new study saying fantasy sports could be ruining your mental health. And
23:18
as soon as I saw that, I'm like, this is me doing you
23:19
a public service. And then I'm like wha wait, did you give up?
23:22
Because this is where I got confused, because before yet dabbled into the
23:29
golf, I think it would have went. I think it would have went.
23:33
I'm in a band. Yeah, I'm addicted to gambling and blackjack.
23:37
What the heck is that? That's kind of this was years back. Like
23:41
gambling, there was a I feel like I feel like there was a there
23:47
was a time, there was a time there might have been a problem.
23:49
In my opinion, and now in my older age clarity, it's all a
23:55
problem, right, you know, losing money or risking money? Is it?
23:59
So this is where when you kind of slid away from the blackjack table.
24:03
I kind of thought you went away from fantasy sports, but apparently not,
24:07
so you're still all in. You know. I thought going into this
24:10
conversation, I couldn't be more offended because you don't know that about me.
24:14
But now here you are throwing other slanderous statements out there. Well, they're
24:18
saying, because study it's I could tell you that what do you think?
24:21
What do you think is the matter with me? From September till February,
24:23
So they're saying players engage with the game. They are more extreme with their
24:29
emotions, and that's one of the biggest things. They're just really worried about
24:33
your mental health because it's kind of taking over. Does your husband play fantasy
24:37
football, no, fantasy anything. What's his fantasy there's got to be one.
24:45
If it ain't football, it's something else. He's also a big golfer.
24:49
He loves golf, so I think fast real golf, because they got
24:52
fantasy golf too, if you really want you Yeah, he's not into that
24:56
because oddly enough, you know, he doesn't really get into professional sports.
25:00
It's that much he loves all. Do they have college fantasy? Of course,
25:03
yeah, you can. You can do fantasy anything. You can do
25:04
fantasy. I name a thing. I am shocked that he doesn't do that.
25:08
Well. I would encourage him to not because it's it is a mental
25:14
health. It does wear on you for sure. So where he works,
25:17
they do like you pick games like a Pickham kind of situation, and even
25:21
that he'll be like, oh my gosh, I have five minutes, like
25:22
he forgets to partake in all of those. Then don't let him play because
25:26
nobody likes those guys who just don't set the line up. Oh trust me,
25:30
I won for sure two years in a row. It might have been
25:33
three years in a row, like four hundred bucks, because I was on
25:36
a fantasy team and I really got into it the first time, but I
25:40
was the one who kind of let it go and just always got lucky.
25:44
And that that would be so frustrating if I was passionate about something and then
25:48
somebody like me was a part of it. It is all, admit,
25:51
at the end of the day, it's it's all luck, you know,
25:53
Yeah, they're right like me and my friends. It's the same group of
25:56
us literally been in the same fantasy football league since seventh grade. We've been
26:00
doing this cue it is, but it's like a big deal among our friend
26:03
group and we try so hard and then every year it would be the one
26:07
guy who you know cares the least but just happens to draft a stacked team.
26:11
What's the going rate? How much money is on the line for your
26:12
career? For us, it's not about money at all. I think we
26:15
do fifty dollars a guy, which is pretty minimal. Like there's much higher
26:18
stakes leagues. It's all about the bragging rights for us. And there's a
26:22
trophy, a traveling trophy we named it after our eighth grade science teacher,
26:26
Dean Calso. Why why because he's a legend. Why is he a legend?
26:32
We've got to know is he still around? I think he is.
26:33
Last I heard Dean still I think he retired to a big cormorant. So
26:37
he's just out there living life. And he listen, he was my dad's
26:41
high school teacher. Like, this is how long Dean Calso? And for
26:44
the record, his name is not actually Dean. We just started calling him
26:47
that. What I think his name is Dave. This is the most bizarre
26:51
situation. I'm really trying to follow a lot. I think when we started
26:53
like d Calso and if we just start calling him, we assumed it must
26:57
be Dean. Listen. We had a lot of fun in his class,
27:02
probably gave him more gray hairs than he already had. Wow, it was
27:04
a lot of fun, and so we thought we would immortalize him by naming
27:07
the Fantasy football trophy after him. Does he know about this or do you
27:11
think somebody is currently calling him right now going dude, do you have any
27:15
idea? I don't think he does. He would probably like roll his eyes,
27:18
thinking we're just screwing with him, but it's very genuinely in honor of
27:22
him. This is wild, but long story short, don't let your husband
27:26
play fantasy football because the thing about people who do it's all they talk about.
27:30
They talk about their team. And the other thing is nobody cares about
27:33
your fantasy football nobody unless you're in that group of people. No, even
27:38
then, we all love talking about our team. But all you're doing while
27:41
the person is talking about their team is waiting for your turn to talk so
27:45
you can talk about your team. The one thing I do miss about it
27:48
is it made it a lot more fun to watch all the games on a
27:52
Sunday, just because you're kind of pulling for whatever This person and their stats
27:56
as gambling too listens a sports game on the TV that you really don't care
28:02
about. Want to know A quick way to care about it is put some
28:04
money on it. True. Yeah, and now maybe gambling's not so bad.
28:08
No, ma, get a man in the morning. See, I
28:11
hope your days off to a lovely start and you're not facing what this woman
28:15
faced mentally, so much to the point where she spent one hundred and sixty
28:19
two thousand dollars on a cosmetic surgery because she was so unhappy with how she
28:25
looked. I hate when you hear stories like this, Yes, where somebody
28:27
doesn't feel adequate enough. We're confident enough in what they've got going on.
28:30
But that's a lot of money. What did we do here. Her name
28:33
is Teresa Up. She's a blonde woman who used to be five feet six
28:37
inches tall, and she for some reason thought that she needed to be taller,
28:42
and so much so that her now ex husband told her that if she
28:47
went for a surgery, which you've heard more and more of this happening.
28:49
I think we had a guy not that long ago we talked about. It's
28:52
a leg lengthening surgery to make you taller, where they literally doctors will break
28:59
your femur, which sounds like the most painful thing in the world, because
29:02
it probably is. They add in these little, you know, extenders that
29:07
slowly over the healing process, like increase by a millimeter a day. And
29:11
so this woman paid one hundred and sixty two thousand dollars to get her legs
29:15
lengthened. And now after years of the surgery, she really went all in.
29:21
She is now a whopping six feet tall, growing six and a half
29:25
inches from her original height. I mean I get where some people feel like
29:29
five six though that does not feel short to me, Like that just feels
29:32
like it for a woman, No, no, yeah, and even for
29:34
a guy. I just don't know if I would go to those extremes.
29:37
Well, it's just so much money. I mean, like if it was
29:40
one hundred and sixty dollars, but yeah, I'd be eight feet tall right
29:42
now. But what'd you actually go through with that procedure at this point in
29:47
your life? Maybe when you were younger, did you would you think like,
29:48
oh, yeah, but yeah, I mean if there was for sure
29:52
a surgery, yeah, like oh absolutely, yeah. I mean it's uh,
29:56
it's probably the worst thing going for me. So if I could eliminate
30:00
that, that'd be fantastic. Listen, I love to sit here and go
30:03
no, I don't care. But when you're reminded every day of how short
30:07
you are, it's like, well, people are just I'd be willing to
30:08
pay some money for the total tools. It's no problem. Weird to me,
30:14
how people, because I've known you for so long, we'll just say
30:18
things like that where it's like it's like you don't know, but like,
30:21
why would you feel that that's okay. You don't come up to me and
30:22
be like, oh that Amanda, she's got whatever. You know, you
30:26
don't say that. Well, people would never say it about your weight.
30:29
And that's like the struggle I faced them, like why, well, why
30:32
is it okay to say it about a man specifically you know, women's height.
30:36
It's like, yeah, really, I mean really, it's just it
30:38
tells me that you're just not an intelligent person and not somebody I care to
30:41
ever converse associate with. However, it would be totally fine if if people
30:45
just didn't have to be jerks. Really, I mean, that's that's it.
30:48
More. Alt of the story here is dummy, you wouldn't have to
30:52
drop the money like that. But you know it's fine. I've got my
30:56
health and my family. My family loves anyway, I think anyway, So
31:03
I won't be paying one hundred and sixty two thousand dollars for what they call
31:06
the Frankenstein surgery. Now, this lady, can we call it something different?
31:10
To men? When you're extending limbs like that, Oh my god,
31:12
I mean proportionally like it can really throw things off. So here's this blonde
31:15
woman, Teresa we're talking about. Oh, she's got the torso of a
31:19
five foot six person. Yeah, and she's got these freakishly long legs,
31:23
which I listen, I get like women, you know, long legs,
31:27
that's the thing that'd be a desirable feature. But there's a point that's a
31:30
looking like that's not even eltory model behavior. When you said, Frankenstein,
31:34
they're not joking. Just just be happy with yourself. Unless it's at a
31:38
reasonable cost, then go ahead and take care of it.
