And here you probably thought you were just gonna, you know, get some
0:03
flowers and maybe have a little romantic dinner for Valentine's Day. Yeah, news
0:09
for you, honey, boring, I agree, I got some unconventional ideas
0:14
for you. Okay, So it's just the norm, because you know,
0:17
Valentine's Day after awhile, especially if you're like you and I am in and
0:20
been married for some time, it's just like, you know, it's another
0:23
day, you know now that you brought up flowers, I am not sure
0:26
my husband has ever brought me flowers. Well, yeah, because you just
0:29
kill them. That's why I right early on in our relationship, I banned
0:34
flowers all together, because it was like two maybe three times I brought flowers
0:38
home, and the disregard for the flowers, the lack of care, not
0:41
even like putting in the uh proper ingredient whatever that salt stuff he is,
0:45
And then I'm sorry, if I buy the flowers, it's on you to
0:48
give it water. And I just didn't see any of that happening. And
0:51
so my wife no longer gets flowers. Well TLC for those bad boys,
0:55
But these are some unconventional ideas that will drive your your significant other crazy this
0:59
Valin's Day. For example, you could give an alternative bouquet. Oh,
1:03
I've heard like bacon boukes. Have you seen that? No, what's that
1:07
like? It's like bacon roses for guys who really love bacon or gals I
1:11
guess too for that matter, bacon wrapped something, bacon wrappedjalapenos. I'm very
1:15
hungry. Name a thing that you could wrap and bacon and it wouldn't be
1:19
good. Ooh, I mean I go right to like fecal matter, but
1:23
I don't think there's anything else. Even then you're probably gonna be like thought,
1:29
okay, gross. You could also make a DIY gift. I see,
1:33
I love that, and we don't do nickel Wright like sometimes a couple
1:36
of hand notes here and there randomly that are just sweet. But when we
1:41
first started dating and we were really good about it, we should get back
1:42
to this. Maybe I'll start it for Valentine's Day. It was like a
1:46
one page just like a reflection of your love. Try this one, though,
1:49
Amanda. Yeah, relationship scrap book. Try that on for size.
1:55
My poor kids don't even even have a baby book. I think Sidney might.
2:00
And it says Sydney Luane Linder and then it might have her birth date
2:04
and that's it. I mean, your kids have the biggest baby book of
2:07
them all. Yeah, and you can find it at Facebook, dot com,
2:09
slash Instagram, I know. But in general, like an actual book.
2:15
Here's another unconventional idea you could try this one. You get to touristy
2:19
things in your own town. That's an unique idea for Valentine's State, unconventional.
2:23
So for Fargo, obviously being a tourist hotspot, you could I've never
2:28
been to the actual Woodchipper. In fact, do they still have that?
2:31
Far as I know, that's a myth. That was just a rumor.
2:34
The actual wood Chipper from the movie Fargo. Which here's another fun fact.
2:38
Not seen that movie. You haven't and it's not even film here, it's
2:40
in Brainer, right, Fargo just sounded better, I guess. I think
2:44
so. I've seen the show. The show is really good. However,
2:46
the wood Chipper, I believe is at like that what visitor center, which
2:49
has to be with the emptiest building in town. I mean, go downtown
2:52
and take your picture in from of the Fargo other sign. That would be
2:54
kind of a fun little date. What other staples. Yeah, what's another
3:00
thumb center? And you actually gone over there. Do you pronounce that in
3:04
an interesting way, don't you? Isn't it yum compst yum cum? Oh?
3:08
So fun? Fact, I really had to do an ad for them
3:10
a long time ago. A radio advertised radio advertisement for them, And this
3:15
was like way back in the day. I wasn't on this station, and
3:19
I wish I could find it because I had no idea, And I think
3:23
I was like that he's called like, I mean, it's a tough one,
3:28
but I would never have come up with yumcum. But I think it's
3:31
hit. Gem Combs is a proper and I know somebody can correct us on
3:36
that too. Yeah, that's a good idea, But that would be a
3:38
fun little something different things you went to do otherwise. Okay, okay,
3:39
how about learn about love and a new culture? You know, like in
3:44
Japan, Amanda, did you know that the women give men chocolates on Valentine's
3:46
Day? Really? What doesn't say it a minute in the morning, big
3:53
naety eight point seven. I mean it falls from grace. When you think
3:57
of a fall from grace, we're talking not just a person. It could
4:00
be a thing that was in a position that just beloved by everybody, and
4:04
what seemed to be in an instant just felt to nothing disgraced. Yeah,
4:09
so think about I got the six worst falls from Grace of all time,
4:13
and I want you to try to guess it. Will try to get three?
4:15
Okay, okay, all right, so the six worst falls from Grace,
4:19
Amanda, take a guess, just random? Well, yeah, Bill
4:26
Cosby, show me Bill Cosby. The number one answer? Is that?
4:30
Really? I know, I was trying to think of, like, my
4:32
gosh, he was just America's dad. Ye. Then there was one accusation
4:39
and it sounded like there was you know, for years, people maybe on
4:42
the inside or in the industry, were aware of some of the drugging and
4:46
the toe sucking, like his wife even was there for some of these instances,
4:49
but stood by his side all of it. Just I'll never forget the
4:54
day he was released from jail, I went, oh, oh, is
4:57
he out of jail? Yes? Is he a yes? I mean talking
5:00
about it, that's a fall from Grace for you, Like, I have
5:03
no idea what, I just know he's terrible. All right, Another,
5:06
guests, worst falls from Grace doesn't have to be just be people, could
5:12
be places, could be things. Prince Harry, Prince Harry, I'm sorry,
5:15
why don't you guess Prince Harry. Could he have a fall from grace?
5:18
I mean in the royal world? I think so probably. I feel
5:21
like maybe sort of the opposite, like he got away from all that and
5:25
now we kind of like him, although they are annoying for the overall,
5:28
right, him and Megan, I I appreciate them, I like them.
5:30
I'm happy for him. I'm kind of glad they're out of the spotlight now
5:32
and we're not talking about him like Travis and Taylor every single day. Right
5:36
now, they're just kind of living their life. Another whack at it,
5:40
worst falls from Grace ever? Matt Lower, Matt Lower, show me,
5:43
Matt Lower, what ye don't number three? Answer? That was wild?
5:47
Number three? Right? Another America's dad grew up just he was in everybody's
5:53
living room. I'll never forget a showing up to work one day and all
5:56
of a sudden, like Matt Lower fired, and I'm like, what could
5:59
he have possibly done? Like he must have like swore so bad on air,
6:02
was miked up, and then have we heard from him since? I
6:04
don't think I've seen an image of He'll pop up every once in a while.
6:08
I think he's just like living his life in the Hampton's doing this thing.
6:11
Could be worse for the guy, right, I know they whack at
6:13
it. Worst falls from Grace. So I'm just stuck on people. I'm
6:15
trying to think of what other Well, I got two more people, and
6:18
I got two more places. Jared from Subway was number five. Talk about
6:25
a guy that we didn't know much about it other than even come from I
6:29
mean, he just was a bigger guy who they're like, hey, we're
6:31
gonna have you eat Subway and do all this and yeah, don't you remember
6:34
like the first commercial where he was standing on the beach with that big par
6:38
of jeans. That's what it was. And then from then on they're like
6:41
because there was a bunch of people in that commercial, but for whatever reason,
6:45
Jared he had I think he had lost the most weight because my god,
6:47
those are some big jeans. Yeah, and that was probably like during
6:49
like The Biggest Loser, we were all so visual about like before and afters
6:54
oh and he's still in jail, I would imagine forever. Yeah, didn't
6:57
somebody try to kill him? Didn't somebody recently try to stab him? Maybe
7:00
I don't know. Okay, now now we're into the places of the worst
7:02
falls from grace. I don't get what you mean, like something that like
7:06
tumbled down. Yeah, that was in a great beloved by everyone, and
7:10
then just something happened and boom gone, here's the store. I was thinking,
7:15
like the World Trade Center, they can actually foul. Is this why
7:19
I'm struggling? Is this why I can't you know, when you're like hot
7:24
on something. Nope, not the Twin Towers. Sears, the store got
7:30
it. You'd be ashamed of yourself. It's like where my head was going.
7:34
I'm like, okay, like a volcano or eruptin and then it's not
7:38
not a literal fault. So Sears, Amanda. You know, some people
7:43
said that Sears could have been Amazon what it is today, but the old
7:46
Seers catalog I fumbled the bag. Yeah, yeah, did you ever have
7:49
was Montgomery Ward around here? It was like Sere's Montgomery Ward. Herburgers that
7:55
was another go to. It probably didn't make it like the overall list,
7:57
but locally. Yeah, when Herbergers went out, geez, no one got
8:01
me. Yeah. Uh. And then Blockbuster of course. H yeah,
8:07
did I hear that they're bringing one back? Because there's ben one, the
8:09
one they finally closed that and then they were gonna start bringing them back up
8:13
again. No, why would they bring up Where would you go? Wh
8:16
would be the reason to go? You know, they could have, but
8:20
for the reason the fall from grace is because Netflix like wiped them out in
8:22
a day. It seemed like, but really, why couldn't Blockbuster have done
8:26
that? Oh yeah, good point, like you had all of those right,
8:30
you could have easily transitioned. But how Blockbuster could have created their own
8:35
app at first? You know, they could have sent the DVDs out like
8:37
block like Netflix was doing originally, and then they transitioned. They could have
8:41
a little kiosk in the store, and then bottom being Bota Boomy created an
8:45
app and then I don't know, it's too bad because I like, I
8:46
like the aesthetic blow. That would be kind of cool though if blocked.
8:50
But maybe that is like the two point er version. They're just coming for
8:52
you. They're coming for you Netflix in the morning. No, Amanda Stills.
8:58
Let's see, let's see Gwyneth Paltrow, she has advice for everybody.
9:03
I just love when she gives us advice. She's just so much fun.
9:05
She just got their real life experience that we could all learn a little from.
9:09
Ye. Likability factor really high with this girl. She revealed on Instagram
9:13
that she likes to hit things with a plastic bat in order to feel better.
9:16
She said, my executive coach, so I'm not sure if that's like
9:20
above the lifestyle coach, but her executive coach actually suggested that she gets a
9:24
plastic bat off of Amazon. Sometimes when I feel really stuck with anger,
9:28
I just hit stuff. It's really a great healthy way to release anger.
9:33
Well, that sounds aggressive. One of those plastic bats are just fun to
9:37
have around, though, you have any of the kids have one yet?
9:39
Oh yeah, oh yeah that the golf clubs, that kind of stuff.
9:41
We have to take them away because sometimes it gets a little out of control.
9:45
Of course. Yeah, we used to have in college. We would
9:48
take one of those plastic bats and you cut off the end of it and
9:50
you turn it from a Louisville slugger into a Louisville chugger and fill it.
9:56
I know these animals, these kids, really, they'll find anything to drink
10:01
beer out of. Gosh, yeah, I'm just waiting for her to put
10:03
this on her Goop website for like one hundred dollars for a plastic bat,
10:07
But she'll have Goop on it. Is that the whole stick with the stick?
10:11
With that website she puts Goop on everything. No, it's just the
10:13
name of her brand. Oh like the word goop. Yeah, that's She's
10:18
not like creating actual goog yike gas. Remember gap? What was the other
10:26
one? Silly puddy? Remember you never you get a plastic bat? What's
10:31
all this on the handle? Oh that's Goop? You pay exer for that.
10:39
Gosh. David Letterman has a lot to say about Travis Kelsey and Taylor
10:43
Swift, although I'm not sure he really fully understands a relationship or who Taylor's
10:46
really dating. This is good. We live in a world now where all
10:50
we hear is good, nonsense and ugliness. So now here's Taylor Swift,
10:56
who is a glowing bright light of goodness in the old and she starts dating
11:01
Kelsey Grammar and people true, yes, yeah, an interesting parent crazy and
11:11
the Kelsey Grammar people say, oh no, no, no, don't bother
11:15
us. We're all caught up in football Dave, Chelsea grammar from Fraser of
11:20
course and cheers so good. I just I don't think he really understood that
11:24
he was saying it wrong. I feel I think he was doing a bit
11:28
as they say he was always he was the funniest to me when he was
11:31
on it was him and Leno. Yeah, I thought David was the funniest.
11:35
I would say he was probably the funniest, even like over Conan.
11:37
Oh, it's like Conan is so underrated. Conin is the goat as far
11:41
as like, oh yeah, like truly underrated. Is he still on TBS?
11:46
I think he is on TBS. He does a podcast which is hysterical.
11:48
He's just a funny man. Who knew? Now you do? Don't
11:52
listen to that podcast instead of this radio show. Well no, we have
11:56
our own podcast, Piking a Man in the Morning pot cast. Just add
12:01
podcast behind night. That's easy, Okay, justin Timberlake, what are you
12:05
doing? It's just I'm starting to get frustrated. You know, my first
12:09
concert ever was in Sync. Love these guys, and they just keep dangling
12:13
this little in sync fruit around like we're gonna get to see them sometime soon.
12:18
So yesterday he was on The Kelly Clarkson Show and he's promoting his new
12:22
album, he's going out on tour. They pretty much completely squashed everything about
12:26
an in Sync reunion in my opinion, and then he does this, but
12:31
yeah, we we we've been in the studio, so there may be a
12:35
little okay, go ask okay. I feel like Kelly didn't really give him
12:41
the hype that he wanted. He was trying to be all cool about it.
12:43
He's like, yeah, we've been in the studio, and she's like,
12:45
oh, okay, that sounds good. She must not be she must
12:48
be a backstory boy fan, because otherwise she would be like, oh my
12:50
gosh, give me the skinny. Tell me girl or boy, give me
12:54
the skinny. What is that? I don't know it is it not the
12:56
same give me no more means give me. But but now what it would
13:01
be it would be weird timing. You know, they might just put another
13:05
song out there. I guess if they were in the studio already doing the
13:07
one song, might as well rip another out. But they're not. It's
13:11
you're never going to get a tour or an album. If he could come
13:16
back with them on the second leg, or even just do a select amount
13:20
of shows where he does his stuff for two hours and then an hour and
13:24
a half of in sync or whatever two and two. However it ends up
13:28
even an hour of in sync, that would be amazing. Yeah, do
13:31
it like the Vegas thing would be perfect. But we don't need new music,
13:35
like did you know the Backstree Boys have been releasing new music like consistently?
13:39
Yeah, we don't last decade? Yeah right, just not necessary.
13:41
No, you can give me all the throwbacks like justin Timberlake could go back
13:45
out on tour and he didn't even need to release this new music. Oh
13:48
yeah, because it's still just good stuff. Yep, exactly good stuff boys,
13:52
And that's a skinny And Amanda in the Morning on Big seven. I
13:56
want to know how far you would go to have dimples? Yeah, give
14:01
me a smile, Yeah kind of Well bet well, people are doing what
14:05
they call it, and you probably heard of this, ladies. It's called
14:07
a dimple plasty. Never heard of this. So people are paying upwards of
14:11
one point five thousand dollars fifteen hundred dollars to get these dimple plastis. Because
14:18
there was this trend going around people were using a dimple maker which is just
14:22
like a tool. Stop it. Like, I think I have actually seen
14:26
that on TikTok where people were like puncturing their yeah, their face to do
14:31
that. I'm like, there's no way people are doing that literally just pinches
14:33
the skin on your face to create what appears to be a dimple. Because
14:37
are dimples that in demand. I mean, they're cute if you have them
14:41
naturally, I yess, But ultimately, I don't think if I was out
14:45
and somebody was like, oh, I'm going to pick her over this person
14:46
because of the dimples, I don't think that's that big of a factor,
14:50
is it. I don't know. I can't. I'm trying to think of
14:52
the best dimples. Who's got some adorable dimples? I feel like you you
14:56
notice some if they're great, but otherwise there's no that sticks out and I'm
15:01
like, oh that's great. Yeah yeah, it just sort of puts it
15:03
over the edge. But however, people want them so badly. They're paying
15:05
one point five thousand dollars for these dimple plastis and it's become one of the
15:11
hottest new plastic surgery trends. Have you ever indulged in a little plastic surgery.
15:16
I had a breast reduction. Is that plastic? What constitutes plastic?
15:20
Do they have to actually literally put plastic in you? No? I think
15:22
that was like the term plastic surgery is like the yeah, yeah, yeah,
15:26
how's that working out for you? Well, I had a couple of
15:28
kids afterwards, because at the point in my life when I got that done,
15:31
kids weren't even on my radar. Had a couple of kids. So
15:35
they're just a little different. I mean, I mean like when you have
15:39
children in pike your body, you gain weight. Why this is just a
15:43
real nice combo. I'm just to answer a simple question. Are we back
15:46
to full size or no? I'm just wondering how the surgery is years later.
15:50
Also, you've known me my whole adult baby. Yeah, so you
15:54
you would know if they were back to the way they were. No,
15:58
they're not bad the way they don't pay attention. I don't know your body
16:02
as intimately as you might. Hey, I don't think you really needed to.
16:04
That's why I had them done because it was insane to me. They've
16:08
always looks the same. Okay, thank you. It was a good things
16:14
turn out Like a minute in the morning on Big Nutty eight point seven.
16:19
Now this would be not so kind, however, if you have an X
16:22
that you want to get back at. We see this a lot through Valentine's
16:25
Day. We talked about the cockroach and a zoo you can name your ex
16:29
after and then they'll eat it or whatever. Yeah, what is it?
16:30
Hippo poop candle and you could put your ex's name on it. There was
16:33
all kinds of things. Well, this one though, takes the cake because
16:37
there's an animal shelter who is allowing you to name a feral cat after your
16:42
ex and they will spade or neoter it set your X because they say,
16:48
quote, some people are not meant to breed hateful, hateful stuff. But
16:52
there's only fifty bucks. Now. Of course they're not just rounding cats up
16:56
just to do this. They apparently have a pro where they capture neuter and
17:02
then release the cats back into their colony. Got it. I feel like
17:06
Bob Barker would really love this approach. This should be brought to you by
17:10
that. I mean, that's what the guy was known for that Spain.
17:12
He was mostly known for hosting the Prices right, but also he did definitely
17:17
hang his hat on the Spaining and neutering animals for sure. Yeah, I
17:21
agree, Yeah, I don't know. It feels weird. It feels weird
17:23
they're doing that, they're capturing cats. The thing is is that how do
17:26
you go about telling something you really have a scorned lover? Or are you
17:30
gonna shoot him a text and be like, hey, just so you know,
17:33
peaches out there, isnt it? Yeah, I know you're still capable
17:37
of reproducing, but that cat no longer can. It's you technically, No,
17:42
that's a bizarre thing. Would I would welcome that. I would welcome
17:45
an next reaching out be like, hey, so you know I did this
17:48
thing? Do a cat that? And also wouldn't you your first response would
17:52
be dodged a bullet, you're weirdo. Yeah, yeah, kind that would
18:00
be that. That would be the case for sure. Do you think these
18:03
cats and they go back to their colony, like are welcome anymore? Because
18:06
I think part of the deal about being a feral cat, what makes you
18:08
so feral, the fact that you can just pop babies out comes. Yeah,
18:11
I mean, how sad to think about if you're sending them back to
18:15
the colony and they're just getting like they're just lonely themselves, and I feel
18:18
like all cats are kind of like that, I guess unless they're ready to
18:22
go, oh in heat? Yeah? Is that what they call that?
18:25
When a cat's quote ready to go, I'm going to go, ready to
18:30
go. Because I don't know the right terminology, but I would imagine I
18:33
think if a cat is in here also, yeah, like a skunk.
18:38
I'm good here, you're not a cat, gal, are you? I'm
18:41
not because I'm allergic? Yeah, this sounds like I'm sure. Now here's
18:48
what you need to know. Well, you can't argue these numbers Taylor Swift
18:52
has generated. I mean, it's a guestamen, but anywhere even near this,
18:56
so I suppose you could are well, I mean, as far as
18:59
what she's done for the L three hundred and thirty million dollars is what has
19:02
been generated, that's wild from her influence, correct, But you can't argue
19:07
those numbers. There'd be no way to poke a hole in that estimate.
19:11
It's probably close, you know, not that the NFL needed it, not
19:14
that she needed it. No, it was really just two entities that were
19:17
fine on their own and they came together to create this monster. Yes,
19:21
everyone loves it. I haven't seen a single social media post about somebody not
19:23
caring for it. No, I think it's probably it's a phenomenon though for
19:27
sure. By the way, if you want to go to the super Bowl,
19:30
tickets are so expensive. They've doubled up from last year. This is
19:33
going to be that most expensive a super Bowl has ever been. I don't
19:36
know if it's because of travnea, but they're about twelve thousand dollars a pop.
19:41
That inflation, it's crazy. That's not including anything else. I mean,
19:45
that's just your ticket to get in. Yeah, you would have to
19:47
have a whole ton of money to go go no kidding, Yeah, all
19:49
right. One hundred and eighteen new emojis are being released to iPhones, including
19:53
new foods, animals, gender neutral families. Some of them are the head
19:57
shaking horizontally or vertically, a phoenix, a lime brown mushroom, broken phoenix.
20:03
The town I'm guessing the setting, the setting of the town. What
20:12
do you mean a phoenix? You're looking now and I know the answer.
20:15
I'm just massive with you. The mythology of the phoenix, like the bird
20:22
so not the capital of Arizona, the immortal bird. But they can't give
20:26
me a bloody Mary. Yet I had to google Phoenix. Come on,
20:30
now, of all the cities to choose Phoenix, I want to fargo a
20:37
Fargo Yeah, can we get a Fargo Fargo emoji? Come on? Ah,
20:41
this is great. There's a third grade teacher who is having her kids
20:45
pay rent for their desks, and you're probably thinking, what is she crazy?
20:48
Well, this North Carolina teacher. She says her system includes fake money,
20:52
which is earned by them cleaning up, kind of helping her. Every
20:55
Friday is pay day for the kids, and they can spend it however they
20:57
want cash on They can use cash for rent, free time, homework passes.
21:02
The most expensive prize is being a teacher for a whole day. I
21:04
think it's great, she said, a lot of these kids, their parents
21:07
are living paycheck to paycheck, so I want to teach them at a young
21:10
age what money is like and how you're supposed to save budget. Go through
21:14
all that. Yeah, that's crazy. I was looking up the theme from
21:18
rent, but five hundred twenty five thousands, six hundred that would have made
21:26
no sense. But it would have been fun, all right. So that's
21:29
an interesting way to go about it. You got to appreciate a teacher that's
21:30
coming up with new things and not just teaching the same curriculum that they've got
21:33
every year lazily. Not that that's happening anywhere, but that's great. Do
21:38
you feel like you learned enough about financial literacy as a child, not even
21:41
a little bit, like there should have been a whole I took an integrated
21:45
math and I've never what time is it at nine oh five? The kids
21:48
who need to be in the math classes? No? By now? Did
21:52
I mean you don't use any of that stuff? You just don't. You
21:56
don't obvious. See in some careers you do correct the T nine calculator or
22:00
kid meet put my family in debt for that that. Yeah, there was
22:06
no recovering from the ninety nine Dollartimately, it's like I would rather know about
22:10
insurance coverage and like life choices, those kind of things with budgeting. Well
22:17
back then, in high school, if they would have said, some person
22:19
would have said, the only the best way for you to get ahead right
22:22
now is buying a home. Don't destroy your credit number one? Yes,
22:25
right, so you can do these things to get a car, to get
22:27
a home, and you'd set yourself up but no, and I blame myself
22:32
mostly. Would you have bought the temple back in the day? Would that
22:33
have been your first thing? The temple? That was where you and your
22:37
bro legends of that? I saw in the temple. So if we all
22:41
had a house in college that had a stupid name, ours was the temple.
22:44
It showed up recently by the way that I had checked into the Temple.
22:48
I went there once and did a check in. The address is thirteen
22:51
thirty two to thirty second Street, Circle South and Morehead if you're curious.
22:56
I saw it was up for sale, and honestly, you know, we
23:00
talked about it. We're like, how funny would it be to buy this
23:03
place and just throw parties there or just like rented out or whatever. But
23:06
yeah, like taxes, I would like a class on phill how to fill
23:10
out at W nine? How to read it? What to do? I
23:11
mean self explanatory. You know they give me anxiety, like line one move
23:17
over to two three had this no for dual household incomes, Like it's a
23:22
mess. I still don't know what I should be claiming. Ah, yeah,
23:25
yeah, it's fair. That's financials. Advisors everywhere are like, let
23:27
me slide into her DMS for a small fee, I can help you.
23:30
I'll like get a minute in the morning, come on, get up on
23:33
big. You've heard people say kids these days, they don't want to work.
23:38
Everybody has said it, you know, about the current the young generation
23:42
that's entering the workforce, and people say, it's just that generation, purely
23:47
your generation. They work their tails off when they were kids. So somebody
23:51
wanted to put this to the test. Yeah, you know, did some
23:53
research. This is a professor of sociology. My guy's name is Martin,
23:57
and he had six hundred people participate in this study. That's a big sample
24:03
size, large sample size. And so he analyzed the data, Amanda,
24:07
about people's work ethics, their age, what year they were born. And
24:10
you know what he concluded, m the year you were born has nothing to
24:14
do with your willingness to work. You mean people just don't want to work
24:18
in general, Well, not really their jam It's like, ah, I'd
24:22
love to just stay at home. How many people doing the old jump out
24:25
of bed getting ready to go to work. But he does say that it's
24:27
more the age specifically, so it's not the generation. It's just like when
24:32
you're young yours part of growing up that you just probably don't want to work.
24:36
You'd rather be hanging out with your friends and doing YadA YadA. So
24:38
I guess we're seeing So is that like between twenty and thirty? Is that
24:41
the age range? Yeah? Probably? Okay, Yeah, I always take
24:45
it back to parenting. I think that that is where your work ethic completely
24:49
starts. I don't think it has anything to do. I don't know.
24:52
You think it's nurture over nature. I mean it's yeah, it's just how
24:56
you're raised and if your parents are making sure that you're out your working,
25:00
and it doesn't even have to be at a young age, and it could
25:03
be financially cutting you off at a certain point where you have to earn money.
25:06
Oh yeah, you see it all the time. Yeah, you know,
25:07
the ones that had a pretty easy growing up weren't asked to do a
25:11
whole lot. In the second that they're faced with a little work, they
25:15
don't love it. Yeah, and they don't know how to do it or
25:18
go about it or any of that. I just don't. I just hate
25:21
in general, people generalizing an entire generation. And it's just like a tale
25:25
as old as time. When I'm older. When I'm sixty five, I've
25:27
ever lived that long. You know, I'm sure I'll be saying the same
25:30
thing about the young kids, you know what I mean. Yeah, But
25:32
it's just like anytime you get a large group of people, when you're talking
25:34
about an entire generation, it's not fair to say one specific thing about them,
25:38
because people are people. For example, people are people bike. Well,
25:41
it's just yeah, And don't think I'm saying that you're not unique and
25:45
special because you are kids. You're very unique and one of a kind.
25:48
However, there's only like so many certain types of people. Yeah, you
25:52
know, so when you get a large group of them, people who say,
25:53
like, oh, people in Fargo don't know how to drive, it's
25:56
like, well, I think it's just that people don't know how to in
26:00
a minute in the morning seven. You know, my wife and I we
26:04
made a big step as adults yesterday we got our first ever Costco membership way
26:10
to go. Really, my only regret was not doing it sooner because the
26:12
amount of chicken and oatmeal and rice I was able to get crazy. One
26:17
thing I didn't know about Costco though famously generous return policy. I guess that
26:22
you can basically, just bring anything back. You don't eat a receipt.
26:26
The amount of time seems to be irrelevant, especially after I never knew this.
26:30
Well, there's a woman who's going viral because people are torn on sort
26:33
of the morality of what she did. She bought a sectional couch from Costco
26:38
two and a half years ago, okay, two and a half years,
26:41
had a kid in the amount of time use the couch daily, and she
26:45
decided she was going to take advantage of their return policy and just return the
26:49
sectional. Why do you know, I guess it was it was leaning over
26:53
to one side because she sat in it the whole time. No, she
26:56
said the reason When she brought it back. They asked her what the problem
27:00
was, if it didn't work anymore or if she just didn't like it.
27:03
She just said, yeah, don't really like it anymore. It's no longer
27:06
a brand new couch, so I don't like it. And they looked it
27:08
up in the system. She'd never see it and refunded them entirely. Get
27:14
out of here, right, that's wild. I mean, I guess,
27:17
at what point are you working here? Like? Okay, this woman brought
27:19
her entire couching. She took the effort. I mean, is that what
27:22
she's doing. Is she rolling in the couch? Yes, she said.
27:26
People were staring at her like crazy because you know, you walk in with
27:27
a sectional right, it is making it also one that looks used, right.
27:33
I mean, so people are just ripping her, saying that she's just
27:37
like a trash person for taking advantage of the system. Yeah. I don't
27:41
care for that. But you got people on the other side saying, Okay,
27:42
it's costco. You know, it's a billion dollar business. They don't
27:47
need it's whatever. Still, but now it's like one bad apple is going
27:51
to ruin the bunch. So now if you have a bad apple and it
27:53
ruins the bunch and you go back because they've cracked down on their return policy,
27:56
you're like, my bag of Fuji apples? Are you know you literally
28:02
have go apples? I win apples. Can you return bad apples? I
28:06
feel like fruit is one of them. I've never done that. I have
28:07
friends though, they're like, if you get especially if you're buying in bulk,
28:11
you're getting something that's bad or they go bad a couple days later,
28:15
You're like, what is this garbage? This isn't okay? I have.
28:18
I have a tough time with avocados. Yeah, can't get can't get seem
28:22
to get that right. You don't know the brown paper bag on the table
28:25
trick? Is that? The trick I don't know. I never know is
28:26
like in the fridge on the counter. What's the trick to take it to
28:29
a certain point? You can put them in the fridge. It'll last a
28:30
little longer. But yeah, it's it's a system. You kind of got
28:33
to just get one a day, you know. But then do you know
28:37
do you know how to find the right one? I squeeze, Okay,
28:38
I want to squeeze. You know how to do it? I know I
28:41
can identify one that's ready today. I can identify one that's going to be
28:45
ready in two days, three days. The worst is when you think you
28:48
found the one. You're like, this is today, and then you get
28:51
home and you cut it open and it's like yeah, Gar
