You know, you remember the dating life, Amanda, there's times where you
0:02
just feel like just defeated, you know, just to think you got a
0:06
good one, nap. But have you ever considered this? One woman has
0:09
found love in an unconventional way when she married a rag doll. Now you
0:14
might have heard of this lady, Amanda, Is it the same one?
0:17
Well, as far as I know, she's the only one. I'm married
0:21
to a rag doll. Okay, so I do recall there was a lady
0:25
who married a rag doll. I feel like she had a baby, but
0:28
also they broke up. Well they're back together. Her name is Mayra Vone.
0:32
She's thirty seven, and after being exhausted of trying to find a good
0:35
man, her mom, of all people, stepped into help and she created
0:39
I forgot about that. Marcello, the rag doll who literally created this rag
0:45
doll for her. Not a bad looking dude, even by rag doll standards.
0:51
Well, the love started when they had their first child. Now Marcellino
0:56
is the name of the little rag doll baby that lasted thirdwenty five minutes that
1:00
pregnancy. She gave birth, but she said largely pain free. I can
1:03
imagine to Marcelina. If there was pain, I'd be really concerned as to
1:08
what happened. Well, here's the exciting news, Amanda. She's now pregnant
1:12
again with her second child. I thought they broke up. I did cheat
1:17
on her. They all good relationships. Gotta go through it some hard times,
1:21
you know. I suppose you gotta break up a time or two,
1:23
a nice rough patch the rag doll had. Now it's exciting because they are
1:26
pregnant with the second child. But going back to some of the issues they
1:30
were having, you know, she said, uh, my ravone that Marcello
1:34
is just such a strapping man that when they would go out, he would
1:38
start catching looks from a lot of other ladies obviously very interested in Marcello.
1:42
I bet there was a lot of looks. I'm gonna tell you right now.
1:45
If I was sitting at a bar and Marcello got drug in, I'd
1:49
be like, who dad. My husband might even give him a peak.
1:53
No, no, not you, the rag doll wif the one stuffed with
1:57
pillows this way, No not you, the one stitched together like a pillow.
2:12
What a man? What a man? Well that was good for everybody
2:16
else. If you have no idea what we're talking about. I'm so sorry.
2:20
She said that she had to take matters into her own hands because so
2:23
many other women were interested in Marcelo. So what she did was she was
2:25
able to detach his uh you know, the thing that makes him a real
2:30
man, a male, a male rag doll. Detach it just pops right
2:35
off, she said, basically what it was, it was a rubber attachment
2:38
that she's able to just take off. I'm starting to understand a little bit
2:40
here, but okay, got it. So she said, before they go
2:44
out, she would just take yeahm off. Well draw very distracting if a
2:50
man, because it does marcel wear a lot of clothes or no, Marcelo,
2:53
Marcello does Marcelo. He was pants, you know, like any man's.
2:58
Just it was just very visible. It was the problem. There was
3:01
no high Marcella. It was I wasn't tucked in them jeans. Not leaving
3:06
much to the imagination, she didn't even specify that it was sixteen centimeters in
3:12
length, which it says. The rough translation to the American inch is what
3:15
six Okay, well, you know in the morning, big naty eight point
3:23
seven, you want suspect a thing when you hear that telephone room by friend,
3:30
fucking this lesson by friend sunny, you don't see figs fresh, Mandy,
3:38
you can relate to this one, I bet because this woman apparently microwaves
3:42
a lot of stinky things at the office, something I've been famous for over
3:45
the years. Yeah, just this morning, some rusty sausage. Well I
3:51
don't know why rusty it was, but the word rusty, but it's it's
3:54
stanky, boy, it's stanky. Well, this woman works at an office
3:59
where she's been getting a hard time because I'm warming up a lot of I
4:00
guess tuna, wait, warming egg tuna. Yeah, so they wanted to
4:05
mess there. This is the least we can do. Sounds very deserving.
4:09
Put my HR hat on. Okay, Hello, Hi is this Shaley?
4:17
Yes, Hi Shaley gus chickens down at corporate HR. You got a second
4:23
to speak to me quick? Oh sure, Yeah. We just wanted to
4:26
let you know that you're coming paycheck This Fridays gonna be a little lighter than
4:30
more to the normal in light of the recent breakroom situation. What what are
4:38
you talking about? What breakroom? Well, we got reports about the stinky
4:42
egg and tuna smell that's been plagging the office down there at their Fargo branch,
4:46
And well, it's been determined that that entire building is gonna need to
4:50
be steam cleaned, you know, to get that stench out of there,
4:54
that obviously you were responsible for. The cameras have shown, and so we're
4:58
gonna take that right out of your paycheck. Make it real easy. You
5:00
don't have to worry about, you know, running a credit card or anything.
5:02
We'll just take it out of the check. So just wanted to let
5:04
you know. Okay, no, wait a minute, that makes no sense.
5:09
First of all, there's no no rule that says you can't make tuna
5:13
and eggs in the breakroom. Well, actually, Shaley, there is a
5:16
rule. I have it right here. Actually, Employee Handbook Code sixty nine
5:23
point four to two zero explicitly says that food quote beyond a reasonable stench shall
5:30
not be warmed up in company quarters, including but not limited to eggs,
5:33
rotilapia, tuna. Well, I mean two of the first three things there
5:38
is what you warmed up. So okay, you say that this is ridiculous.
5:43
It's ridiculous, now, Shaley, is not ridiculous. I mean,
5:46
you're not getting fired you're still getting your paycheck. It's just going to be,
5:49
you know, well, three hundred dollars less than normally. What stock
5:55
three hundred dollars? What were you thinking when you warmed up that tuna and
5:59
eggs milk? That's what I was thinking, a tuna melt. Wait a
6:02
minute, this is crazy. I'm not. I'm not. You're not taking
6:06
three hundred dollars out of my check. You gotta be insane. Okay?
6:11
What what's your name again? Gus Chickens down at HR Corporately, cos it's
6:18
not important. It's about you in the microwave eggs, Gus Chickens. Okay,
6:25
so okay, what's my last name? Your last name? Yes,
6:30
you're calling to take money out of my check? So what's my last name?
6:34
Yeah? That's a that's right, that's hippo. That's a hippo of
6:38
I'm not allowed to disclose that information. You're not allowed to tell me my
6:42
own last name. She got you? You after this? Who will put
6:48
you after this? I say it was your coworkers. Who are the ones
6:53
who had to put up with the obviously stanky eggs in tuna that you whipped
6:57
up in the breakro It wasn't that bad. Oh my gosh, I'm not
7:02
the worst one in the Okay, they are terrible. That's oh my god.
7:10
That's like a fun place to work though. We got a message from
7:13
well Caitlin specifically, but she said on behalf of all of your coworkers who've
7:15
been giving you a hard time about the stank of the break room. They
7:18
wanted us to mess with you a little bit. So there you go.
7:23
Well they got me you clean the whole building. Oh my god, like
7:29
and Amanda in the morning on SIG seven trending. Now here's what you need
7:35
to know. Well, this is awesome. Ahead of Veterans Day, area
7:40
students are doing something sweet for local veterans, active military members, and first
7:43
responders. The fourth grade Gifted and Talented students at Lewis and Clark Elementary School
7:47
built up more than one hundred care packages with candy. So they did a
7:50
candy drive all the way up through yesterday and then on Veterans Day, the
7:55
student mentors will deliver the packages and letters to the VA Hospital in Fargo,
8:00
Go Air, National Guard based local fire stations, police stations, and EMT
8:03
station. That's really nice. Good job cares as much as the candy is
8:07
probably awesome for the veterans, but those letters, that's gotta be awesome.
8:09
Youah sure read those thank you cards from little kids? I know I love
8:13
it. Way to go, guys, and this is a bummer. Governor
8:18
Burgham failed to make the cut for the third Republican presidential debate, which is
8:22
tomorrow night in Miami. So I think there's down to five of them that
8:24
are going to be on there. Looks like President Trump is doing his own
8:28
thing once again, but Burgham not giving up. He released a statement on
8:31
Twitter yesterday saying skipping the next debate isn't going to stop us. I've been
8:35
told it's impossible my entire life and always beat the odds. They told me
8:41
I couldn't build a tech company in North Dakota Memory Belt. We all said
8:45
that. We're like, there's no way you could build a tech company in
8:48
North Dakota. Don't recall that one. I don't either. He said,
8:50
we built a billion dollar one. They told me I wouldn't be governor.
8:54
We won by forty points. You gotta love the lack of quit in the
8:58
guy. Yeah, Now, DC in siters are trying to stop me from
9:01
fighting for you, it's not gonna work. Party bosses don't pick presidents,
9:05
voters do. Mike drop Bergham. I like how he said the phrase skip
9:11
the next debate. It's like, you can't really skip it if you're not
9:13
invited. It's like remember skipping your friend's birthday party that you were invited to.
9:20
I didn't want to go anyway. And Jimmy Kimble, he is set
9:22
to reveal People's Sexiest Man Alive tonight and last year was Chris Evans. Kind
9:28
of going through the list. They have doubled up in the past, so
9:31
Johnny Depp, Brad Pitt, George Clooney, they've all been in a couple
9:33
of times. They've been doing this since nineteen eighty five, and we've been
9:37
kind of putting in our votes. I'll lose my mind if it's Pete Davidson.
9:41
I don't get that. That's not my He's not my jam. I'm
9:45
feeling like it's gonna be I didn't see any sports figures whatsoever or athletes.
9:50
So could he on the list? Yeah, yeah, I could. I
9:52
don't think there's any parables because Travis Kelce for me would be uh an option.
9:56
He's hot right now. Uh huh, yeah. I mean I'm trying
10:01
to think of who the hot young thing is these days. Like, I
10:03
don't know if he is so young, that's just it. Well, yeah,
10:07
I mean George Clooney's won even his Gray Fox years. Oh yeah,
10:11
Idris elba one the other year he was a little older. See. I
10:15
was wondering if it would be perhaps Mark Kenswelo's Kelly Rippa's husband, just because
10:20
they're on the show together. Now, I don't think he's famous enough.
10:24
You know who it could be is that new bachelor, the good the old
10:26
Dolts, My gosh, Jerry, that would be. I mean, hey,
10:31
guy's a good looking dude. The world is loving some Jerry. Yeah.
10:33
Have you been watching that? I've been in and out. My wife
10:37
will have it on the TV every once a while when I'm around, And
10:39
you know, I don't know. Is he fun? Is he nice?
10:41
Have we found out anything horrible about him? No, he had to have
10:43
committed some heinous crust day fun. He's nice. He's just like that all
10:46
American man. Oh. How many trips of the Fantasy Suite so far?
10:52
Nothing? But he is doing a lot of kissing, is he really?
10:56
I know, last week it was super odd. Sorry I'll digress here in
10:58
a second. But he kept He's told a couple other ladies he loves them.
11:01
But the only thing is is with the we're not talking about the fact
11:07
that the grandkids are around and they're doing that. Like these poor grandkids are
11:11
like, oh, this is my new grandpa and then he's gonna break their
11:13
hearts. So usually, you know, it's like a scantily clad young woman
11:18
and there's no kids involved in it. Now we're talking about grandchildren. I
11:22
know. You know what the kids need to learn, Amanda. You don't
11:24
get everything you want in life. That's really the big lesson. Oh gosh,
11:28
all right, weatherwy. Today it's gonna be cloudy, high forty one
11:31
slide, chance of some morning showers. That could get a little icy on
11:33
the road. To take a little extra time. Otherwise tomorrow we could hit
11:37
fifty. Turn it out like a man in the morning on big Nutty eight
11:43
point seven. Maybe you're a parent of a four year old daughter, right,
11:46
yeah, yeah, you got a four year old Sydney. Well,
11:48
I want to know what you think about this lady. She's gone viral on
11:50
TikTok of all places, because she went out with a list of the hard
11:54
nose when it comes to dressing her daughter. For example, she starts out
11:58
by saying, bikinis and two piece swimsuits. No, absolutely not. This
12:03
is her list of no nos when it comes to dressing her daughter. Oh,
12:05
I break all those rules you think you're gonna break all these are just
12:09
the bikini one. The bikini one. And I guess probably at four years
12:13
old, we're at that borderline. She's still just a little girl. Cute,
12:16
you can wear a bikini, do your thing. Body image for me
12:20
is we don't discos. I mean, she's just a cute little girl,
12:24
you know what I mean? And she got her swimsuit. I mean,
12:26
do you get where the lady's coming from? Or is this kind of nonsense
12:30
to you? I think the older you get, maybe feeling a little bit
12:33
more like, hey it's risque, or maybe you shouldn't be wearing that,
12:37
But you think it's sort of like a bell curve, like it doesn't matter
12:39
when you're young, and then kind of gets it and then there might go
12:41
through a stage. Yes, absolutely right. This woman also says, no
12:46
miniature high heels. Our little kids wearing high heels. I don't think so
12:52
I mean I've seen actually you try to walk in high heels. Yeah,
12:54
right, let alone a four year old. She has like her princess dress
12:58
up shoes, and that's comical, like her trying to like walk in them
13:01
when she dresses up as like an ulcer or something just up. She just
13:03
sounds like a broken ankle, you know, in the making. She also
13:07
says no nail polish for her four year old daughter. She said, that's
13:11
a hard note. Not until anyway she's maybe I don't know, seven or
13:15
eight. She's never gone. This will shock you to get a professional petty
13:20
or manny. But we just had her at the salon, didn't you.
13:24
But that was hair Haircutah, she got her first haircut at four, Like
13:28
that was her first haircut, which has been growing this whole time. Yeah,
13:31
I'm interested that. My best friend who owns a hair salon's like,
13:35
we're gonna need to trim that hair here, like okay, gotcha. It's
13:39
always so cute to see though, And she did well. Did she enjoy
13:41
and kids cry loved the experience. Our nephew, Theo, who is three,
13:48
he just got his first haircut. He had, like, you know,
13:50
a lot of little boys, there's the shaggy little boy, hairy,
13:52
super cute, and then you give him a haircut and they age fifteen years.
13:56
It's insane. Do you remember Briggs? I mean he has had a
14:00
long some more mistaking him for a girl for a long time because his hair
14:03
was super long, and it killed me to get his haircut. The second
14:07
I did. He looked like he was five and he struggles getting his haircut.
14:11
And I get for boys just because the shaving more, you know,
14:16
by the ears and stuff. Where is a girl? Oh yeah, it's
14:18
you know, usually just a trim with the long hair. Yeah, even
14:20
as an adult, it gets a little scary. You ever had your ear
14:24
nicked by a little clippers? No, traumatizing, traumatizing, That's why you
14:28
go to men's hair company. That's right. I've never been clipped there once.
14:31
No, we actually brought Briggs there once and that was a good experience.
14:33
I'm like, Okay, this is how it should be. But then
14:35
again, I mean I've clipped myself too with the clippers. Yeah. Not
14:39
going to get into the nitty gritty of the details, gotcha. The nail
14:43
polish thing that can be a real day ruin. Nick actually paints her nails
14:48
every once in a while, just a great dad. I struggle staying in
14:52
the lines. I have zero patients. I don't even paint my own nails,
14:56
Like, yes, just run a big paint brush over her hands if
15:00
you want it done. I have no issue with that. I the final
15:01
one that this mom on TikTok. She's gone bio for saying she will not
15:05
dress her four year old daughter in these things. The last one crop tops.
15:09
Yeah, in the summertime, Sid has a couple of she calls them
15:11
belly shirts, and there's a border. I liked how you use the bell
15:16
curve. There's gonna come a point where no, like right now, she
15:20
usually doesn't wear that to school or daycare or anything like that, but there
15:24
will come a point she starts kindergarten next year. Of course, I'm not
15:28
gonna have my daughter in crop tops kindergartens. Tough, look, I will.
15:31
I am in second grade, whatever age you are. Then. I
15:35
remember we were in gym class and one of the girls took their shirts off
15:37
and was just wearing a bra, like she just had no idea that that
15:39
was like an undergarment or whatever. It was just and I remember the teacher
15:43
just being traumatized. Oh my god, Goti, put that back on.
15:46
Put that back on. I will tell you sid is for. And she
15:50
hung out with my nieces towards the end of summer and they had just started
15:54
to worry kind of wearing training bras. So now her whole thing is is
15:58
I need to wear a mom, I need a bra. No, you
16:03
don't. You're four. You're four, and girl, trusts me, You're
16:07
not gonna be wanting to wear a bra. So a lot of people aren't.
16:08
I mean, by the time she's an adult, I mean, the
16:11
way it's going, Amanda, you might be one of the last great broad
16:15
generations. Like a man in the morning on Big Nutty eight point seven,
16:21
you're ready, ready, that's he is piping hot today. No, Amanda
16:26
stills the sea looks. See. Well, every celebrity right now is writing
16:32
a book. And Megan Fox is writing a book of poems. It's titled
16:36
Pretty Boys Are Poisonous. And I think somebody needs to have a little chat
16:40
with her. She's had a rough go in relationships and she says poisonous.
16:44
No, that's why you got your You gotta find yourself an ugly man.
16:48
Ask my wife. Nothing poisonous about us. Jeez, Pike, you're not
16:52
ugly. I'm just being a little self deprecating. Yeah, I don't like
16:55
it. I don't like it, Amanda, we work together. You know
16:56
it's not going to happen. Okay, just settle down. I'm good by.
17:03
I've got a pretty boyant he's not poisonous, so I'm up against him.
17:07
Wow. Megan Fox doesn't have no idea, she asked anybody. I
17:10
think what she means to say is bad guys are poisonous. Just stop dating
17:14
bad guys and you'll be shocked. Well that's the result. The breaking news
17:18
for me here is that Megan Fox is still with MGK. They are engaged.
17:22
I had no idea. I thought that was a long gone But she
17:25
goes on to say relationships are complicated. I can agree that is that can
17:29
happen for most of us. It's not a fairy tale. Sometimes you go
17:33
down that route. Relationships are not pretty, they're ugly. Sometimes they are
17:37
a war. And that's where she lost me. We need to sit down
17:41
with her. Relationships are a lot of work. They can they can be
17:45
difficult. There's going to be trying times. But if you're at war with
17:48
the person you're in love with. That might be a that might be a
17:52
red flag. Yeah I feel like that. Uh that again, going back
17:56
to the bad guy thing. Not to say MGK is a bad guy,
17:59
but he sure seems like Yeah, I don't know, but I mean,
18:00
they really had the time in the sun. It seemed like every day there
18:03
was a new annoying thing where they were drinking each other's blood or dressing like
18:07
vampires. She was trying to be that couple. It had to have been
18:11
exhausting. She just feels like she doesn't quite know what she wants at this
18:17
point, you know what I mean. I don't like it. I would
18:18
like to say, you know, worse things about her, But as somebody
18:22
who had her poster in our freshman dorm room at MSUM, you know,
18:26
she kind of always has a special place in my heart, Like you just
18:27
want her to find love. That's what I want. Yeah, God,
18:30
gu's what we used to look. We look up at her post and just
18:33
dream about her falling in love to somebody else. Nailed it. I couldn't
18:41
wait for my roommate to leave the dorm so I could just think about it.
18:45
Did not think that it was a good idea to have his friend's character
18:48
Chandler cheat on Monica. He rejected the idea with the show's writers, and
18:53
they had it all planned out and it just didn't happen. It came close.
18:57
I remember the one girl trying to sway him into a little rendezvous,
19:02
but you know he was strut to happen. It does annoy me though it's
19:04
a show. You're the actor, just act. The writers get to decide
19:08
what the storyline is. Wow, you're yelling to Matthew Perry. I know
19:11
I hate and I'm not speaking ill of him. I'm just saying I mean,
19:15
yeah, you can feel how you want about it, but at the
19:17
end of the day, you're getting paid to do a job, which is
19:19
act. If you want to write your own character, well then write your
19:22
own show. Yeez. Well if you want more Matthew Perry. It looks
19:26
like we have some behind the scenes footage that's going to be on VH one
19:30
tonight. They are set to honor him in a specially called Matthew Perry Life
19:33
and Legacy. And I guess Matthew Perry was very eager to make a movie
19:37
about his life. Before his death, he wanted zac Efron to play him.
19:41
Interesting, Yeah, so that's could be happening. But didn't you say
19:45
that he Matthew Perry played zac Efron in a movie, yes, in seventeen.
19:48
Again. Oh, they have a good relationship. We're also finding out
19:52
a little bit more about how everybody is handling the situation. Where told Jennifer
19:56
Aniston's friends are very worried about well, worried about our beak because she's just
20:00
taking it very hard. Not only is she struggling because he passed away.
20:06
Also, this is a second massive loss she's had in her life. Her
20:08
dad died almost a year ago to the date, So that's coming up.
20:11
That's unfortunate. You know, it's sad, but it's reality, you know,
20:15
right, Haley Ara Sewer. It starts back up again this weekend.
20:21
So Taylor Swift is going to be out of the football situation. She's going
20:25
to be doing her thing. But right before she decided to leave town,
20:30
she thought, I'm going to have a viewing party with the girls from the
20:33
Chiefs. So we found out about Saturday night. We had talked about that.
20:36
Britnan, Ma Holmes and Selena Gomez, Sophie Turner, They were all
20:38
out, and about Sunday morning, she had some of the chiefs wives at
20:44
her house for a viewing party because the boys were playing in Germany, so
20:47
probably a little brunch with Taylor. How do you feel about that, Well,
20:51
it's annoying to me, I'll be honest, because first of all,
20:53
if you're like a wife that's been there, done that, you know,
20:56
kind of since day one, and then you got this new girl coming in
20:59
trying to throw watch parties, I think naturally you're gonna be a little annoyble
21:03
trying too hard. Yeah, I think she's trying to put her time in
21:04
now because she knows she's got to go overseas, so she's trying to get
21:07
in because she's the type of girl she's gotta be in. She gotta be
21:10
part of the club. As much as she sings about like the opposite of
21:14
that king that, it always feels like she's starting to create clicks in a
21:18
way. Yeah, which is very odd, but it'll be interesting. We
21:22
do know that Travis Kelce is doing his best to try to go to some
21:26
of her stuff across the seas. She is not going to probably be able
21:29
to make it back for a football game. There's that unless they make it
21:33
to the super Bowl and somehow she makes that work. I guess I haven't
21:36
looked that far ahead in her schedule, but I hope they make it work.
21:38
And if anything, that's good. You know how it is with the
21:41
relationship. You come in hot, you're super super excited, then to take
21:45
a little bit of time to make sure that it's real, but you still
21:48
spend some good quality time when you can. Yeah, I hope it works
21:52
out too, Amanda. I really I'm not trying to hate on the situation,
21:53
but if you're Travis Kelcey, you gotta be a little concerned with Taylor
21:56
going over to the UK because for skinny British boy, she talks dudes,
22:02
you can fall in love. I'm teased. I'm horsing around. No,
22:04
but every guy she's been with has always been right. Some guy from the
22:08
UK, hang on a secon, it's been a minute, give me that
22:11
horse, nah. I hope Taylor won't be What talk about a plot twist?
22:17
If Taylor turns out to the be the girl she's never wanted to be,
22:19
and all of a sudden she cheats on Travis Kelcey and that's the American
22:23
sweetheart. That'd be so confusing. I wouldn't know what to do. It
22:26
would be Kim and Kanye would like it. Yeah, y, it's like
22:30
it a minute in the morning. Come on, get up on big breaking
22:37
news, Amanda. Residents of one city are outraged as recently, you know,
22:45
with the recent snow fallen a lot of cold weather cities, snow sculptures
22:51
have been appearing all over the town that seem to resemble a certain body part
22:57
of a male, like all over town, dozens of sculptures, and these
23:03
are giant. Okay, if that makes it worse, I don't know.
23:07
Now is it noticeable or does it look like as though there's just like towers
23:14
just you know, are they are they grain silos or are they yeah?
23:18
Exactly and where are they showing up all? So, for example, I
23:21
have a few photos here that were taken by the concerned residents. One directly
23:25
on the hood of a car. Imagine you leave your car in a parking
23:27
lot all day, you come out after work, boom, you got a
23:32
giant sculpture of a man. Okay, so do you remember and everybody said
23:36
it was in Grand Forks, But do you remember that holiday photos that probably
23:40
surfaced about six years ago. So you know certain towns, a lot of
23:44
small towns, yeah, put up decorations on their main street and it looked
23:48
like, yeah, it was kind of like a like a tall like missiletoey
23:52
looking thing, but it had two circles and then when it lit up it
23:57
was yes, it looks like a male body part, right, and a
24:03
lot of people said that was in Grand Forks or whatever. It went viral.
24:07
This though, is totally totally on purpose. Well, it seems intentional.
24:10
And again, if you look at these sculpture here, at this particular
24:12
one that was erected on the hood of a car, it's there's no mistake
24:17
in it, all right. This is not an accident. This isn't a
24:18
oh just pile the snow up. Oh, it kind of looks like a
24:22
cylinder. No, no, no, there are defined ridges. Oh yeah,
24:26
yeah, a real artiste we have on our hand now. Concerned residents
24:30
of this city have signed a petition. They're trying to get law enforcement involved.
24:33
It leads a question is it illegal, is it a crime or I
24:38
mean, listen, people love snow men. I mean, if you're writing
24:42
on somebody's car, like you shouldn't be touching people's vehicles, so that feels
24:47
like a crime. But the road put you we put this, is there
24:51
enough snow outside right now? Or is it all melted? As you know,
24:53
I would totally do this, of course you would. People who know
24:57
me, uh, and I hate this aman really I'm trying to shed this
25:02
like sort of image. But people who know me associate me with this sort
25:06
of thing. I would find an offense. I would get a chuckle for
25:10
a second and then it's like, nah, you gotta kick her down.
25:15
I just laugh for a second. But then we just kicked the top off
25:18
or something and make it a little unrecognizable now. I mean as a kid,
25:22
we uh you know, remember like art class when you would start working
25:25
with clay. I mean that was like heaven for me that I just had
25:27
a heyday with it. And we used to you know, we'd make we
25:32
would make our own little clay project and then we would take it to the
25:34
next class and before the teacher got in there, we would go up and
25:37
stick it on the whiteboard. The teacher comes in, it's boom hanging down
25:45
from the whiteboard. Yeah, I know, really fatistic stuff. Written an
25:47
apology letter to the entire staff at DGF. I feel like you need to
25:52
no, no, I do, I will. I will not apologize.
25:56
I do understand why you've been banned from the school. Now who to say,
26:00
I'm not the uh, the the corporate, the culprit planning these snow
26:04
sculptures around this down, You're not You're not. I yeah, I don't
26:10
like it. I have to explain that to my children. You don't think
26:15
your son breaks is gonna grow up doing the same thing. You don't think
26:18
so well, we do have an issue. He is still he still what
26:22
he So We've been potty training the dog, and so I'll be like,
26:27
hey, can you go outside and grab like you know, we're we take
26:30
turns, also the responsibility, and my son still just thinks it's okay and
26:33
to go to the bathroom outside. Oh well, didn't you just tell me
26:37
yesterday that your son got in trouble at daycare because he was showing off his
26:41
own snow sculptures. Trouble. He just walked out of the bathroom. And
26:45
I found out from another parent that I was at an event over the weekend
26:49
and she's like, yeah, my daughter came home and said I saw a
26:56
private part and I was like, whoa what and then she said, yeah,
27:00
Sidney's little brother just walked out. He just needed a little bit of
27:04
help. So it was an innocent situation. You told me. He came
27:08
home and he was proud of it. He's like, Mommy, guess what
27:11
I did. Okay, we are We're three years away from Amanda some Briggs
27:17
being the snow sculpture guy here in four. Can't wait Amanda in the morning
27:22
on Big seven, you know, I was talking to a friend and they
27:26
were asking how much money I made, which immediately You're like, what really,
27:30
what was the content person? We're in the same industry, you know,
27:34
so it was just like really, you know. But then there's this
27:37
whole generation of people who think that people should be discussing how much money they
27:41
make, especially when you work for the same place, because it feels so
27:45
tabooed to me that you just never ask that question. It's none of your
27:49
business. Everybody has their own maybe contract deal, whatever it may be,
27:55
and that feels weird to me. Yeah, I mean, listen, there
27:57
is a point to be made for the other side, because companies, then
28:00
the kind of thinking is that they're able to underpay people if everyone else continues
28:06
to not want to talk about it, because then they don't realize, like,
28:08
you know, what they're worth is if John tom over here is making
28:14
x amount and you were doing the same thing and suddenly you realize you're twenty
28:17
grand shorted whatever name I just made up, John Schmann. But don't you
28:22
also feel like that is a personal thing where you you learn to grow.
28:26
You have to take the I guess bowl by the horns and go and ask
28:30
for a raise or go and have those conversations and know you're worth other than
28:34
that. Yeah, people are just gonna well, it's a heck of a
28:37
negotiating tool. If you know how much somebody else is making and they're doing
28:41
the same thing, that's probably you're just gonna lead with that, like,
28:44
hey, this guy's making this much, I'm doing the exact same thing,
28:47
so I don't know it or even worse, you think you're doing better or
28:49
more work than John Schlam. Yeah, but fifty percent I found this interesting.
28:55
Fifty percent of millennials, so people of our age ish Amanda, don't
28:59
mind discussing salary at work, compared to Baby boomers, for example, who
29:03
largely think discussing salaries should remain private. Yeah, I guess I'm more on
29:07
the This is painful. Sorry baby boomers, but I'm I'm jumping off the
29:12
millennial. I'm such a boomer. I want to know what you think,
29:15
though, Should you discuss how much money you make with coworkers? Seven oh
29:18
one two eight zero one ninety eight seven would love a call. You can
29:21
also text us. You can comment on our big ninety eight point seven Facebook
29:23
page where people seem to be torn down the middle amandah. Yeah, we
29:26
have one of our top fans on Facebook, Jen saying never, you just
29:30
don't do it. Actually, quite a few people saying no, And there
29:36
are a few one here that are saying absolutely. The taboo about not discussing
29:41
salaries makes it easier for a company to manipulate people. Like you had mentioned,
29:44
Megan is chiming in on that, there's a lot of people who are
29:45
liking that. What's what's more likely though, that the companies are using that
29:49
to manipulate you or is it just going to cause more issues among the morale?
29:55
Right? If you know how much every like if everybody had to walk
29:56
around with their salary taped to their forehead, I mean, wouldn't that just
30:00
make everything just miserable, you know what I mean, everybody? You would
30:03
start to resent people. But you're right, man, it's totally up to
30:07
you to get what you think you're worth and get as much as you possibly
30:10
can. You know, it has nothing to do with what somebody else was
30:14
able to do or any right, And I guess every industry is probably a
30:17
little bit different. If you're working as a server, you're doing that,
30:21
but that's also another thing. You're working hard for your tips. So if
30:23
you're getting more tips, y'all worked harder for them. Well that's a little
30:26
and or exception, right. But if we're both a mailman or woman or
30:30
what do we call him, letter carriers. If we're both a letter carrier
30:33
and we've been working there at the same time, it's like, well,
30:36
we're doing about the same thing. You know, probably be getting paid about
30:38
the same thing. And I think some jobs are pretty uh cut and dry.
30:41
This is the salary, this is where it is. You earn it,
30:45
you get the bonus you do that. But different businesses have different pay
30:48
structures, bonus structures, all of that. Either way, I've always just
30:52
been very uncomfortable having that conversation. Yeah, just because you're right, I
30:56
don't want to know if somebody is making more than me, if I feel
31:00
as though I'm working harder, or and spoiler, everybody pretty much feels like
31:03
they're better and more valuable than everybody else, right, or if you are
31:07
that person. I don't want to hurt somebody's feelings going, hey, actually
31:10
I'm doing that, but earned it, and I'm just kidding, right,
31:14
yeah, just kidding. All right, So that said exactly before taxes,
31:18
Amanda, how much are you pulling? Thirty two ninety nine a month
