  Speaker 1: I love that you did this.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: Obviously, it was Labor Day yesterday. And so the kids
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: were off school. Mikey, who's a teacher, was off school.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: But like the world keeps turning. So I was here
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: doing my Labor Day shift.
• 0:14
  Speaker 3: And then we had other stuff we wanted to do.
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: So they just came with me. OK, so whatever. I'm
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: doing my thing.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: And they didn't even mean it in like, oh, what
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: you do looks easy.
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: But just kind of like I could probably do that.
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: I could probably do what mom does on air.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: In theory, you're pushing a button.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: And then you just begin to talk.
• 0:35
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: In the most basic level.
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: So I was like, okay, let's put this to the test.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: And I let each of them, Mikey, Aiden, and Liam,
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: I let each of them do their thing as though
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: they were me.
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: I was like, pretend you're me.
• 0:51
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: And then do just one little talking segment.
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: So let me tell you. These are my favorite thing ever,
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: so naturally we have to share. So this is Liam.
• 1:04
  Speaker 5: Okay, this would be Liam as a Big 98.7 host.
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 1:09
  Speaker 6: Hi, it's the Big 98.7 show, and Labor Day is here.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: Happy birthday. Hey, we give birthday shout-outs.
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but I was like, sir, what? And he's like,
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: I don't know what to say at the end.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: So happy birthday it is. Okay, so now here's Aiden.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: Today's variety, big 98.7.
• 1:33
  Speaker 6: Hope you guys are having a great Labor Day weekend,
• 1:37
  Speaker 6: and hopefully you don't have to do any labor yourself.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: I'm Angie, and goodbye. You know what? I did like
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: the line in there.
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: I liked it, too.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: What I thought was funny was afterwards, When I was like, okay, Mikey,
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: it's your turn.
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: Aiden goes, wait, no, no, no. I want to do
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: it again. I want to do it again.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: And I was like, that's the beauty of it. You
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: can't do it again.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: You don't get another shot.
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you don't get another shot.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: And so finally, Mikey did his take on the weather.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: Fargo, Moorhead.
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: It's the big 98.7 and it's 83 degrees outside.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Isn't that nice? It's a nice Labor Day weekend. Oh,
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: that's not terrible.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: That's pretty good.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: Afterwards, he was like, I didn't even say the big 98.7
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: morning show.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: I just said it's the big 98.7.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: All that to say, even if it sounds like it's
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: super easy, it's harder than you think.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: That's right.
• 2:31
  Speaker 5: I think that's the trick because I've had buddies like
• 2:33
  Speaker 5: want to do that as well and just try it.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: It is kind of interesting.
• 2:37
  Speaker 5: It's the starting and the stopping that people who have
• 2:40
  Speaker 5: never done this.
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: Always struggle the most with. I do like that line.
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: I'm going to borrow that for next year's Labor Day, though.
• 2:46
  Speaker 5: Hopefully you didn't have to do any labor yourself.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Celebrating life's little victories. Victory.
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: Every morning we practice gratitude on Big 98.7. If I could,
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: I would.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: Keep this feeling in a plastic jar. Bust it out
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: whenever someone's acting hard. I just really needed a win,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: you know. Share your little victories with us at 701-280-1987.
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: Angie, do you have a little victory from your Labor
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: Day weekend?
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: We had a family date and went to go see
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: Coyote vs.
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: Acme in theaters and it was so fun.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: That movie is fun and what I like is that
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: It got saved from being just scrapped. Like there was
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: the whole they made the movie and then I was like,
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: and we're not even going to release this in theaters.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: But people banded together and they posted and they tweeted
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: and all the things saying, no, give us Coyote versus
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: Acme in theaters.
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: And so we got it.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: And I think it looks like they're going to at
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: the very least break even or actually make some money
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: on it. But even at the end of the credits,
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: there's like a thank you note to everyone who pushed
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: for this movie to be released in theaters.
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: And honestly, it was so fun. It was funny.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: The Looney Tunes gags, I feel like they still hit.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: And Mikey was really excited because, you know, he's old
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: and he watched Looney Tunes like in their first iteration. Right.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: He's seen the original black and white version.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: But yeah, it was just a good family time to
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: watch the movie.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: And I feel like there are these stretches of time
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: where we can't really.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: Go to the movies to satisfy everybody's like genre and
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: like how old they are, because I've got an almost
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: 16-year-old and a 9-year-old, and they can't be watching the
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: same thing sometimes. So it's nice when you find a
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: movie that everybody can enjoy as a family.
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: So that was nice.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: I have not even heard of this movie.
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: What? It's so good. What is it? Wild E.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: Coyote sues Acme for all of those products that he
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: tries to use to catch the Roadrunner, but they always
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: backfire on him.
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: Like, that's the gag.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: It's always falling off mountains and stuff.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: And Will Forte is in it. John Cena is in it. Like,
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: it's a legit movie, and it was great.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: I don't even think I've seen any, like, promo for
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: this at all.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: Well, they were trying to shelve it. They were trying
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: to not even have it come out. So it was,
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: I recommend. I thought it was a great time.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: Good for you for supporting the arts.
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right. What about you, Gabe? What's your little victory?
• 5:19
  Speaker 5: My little victory yesterday on Labor Day, my wife, my dog,
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: my daughter, and myself went to, I believe it's pronounced
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: Ewen Park. OK, which is a park that Corey and
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: I have driven past. I'm not even kidding. Thousands of times. OK,
• 5:37
  Speaker 5: it's off of like university and we have driven past
• 5:41
  Speaker 5: like we need to.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Like go there one of these days and just never
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: made it.
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: Well, on Monday, we had a little extra time on
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: our hands and we're like, all right, we're going to
• 5:49
  Speaker 5: take the kid and the dog for a walk. And
• 5:51
  Speaker 5: really what it is, is it's kind of more of
• 5:53
  Speaker 5: like just a disc golf course with a walking path
• 5:56
  Speaker 5: on it.
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: Oh, that's cool. You love disc golf.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: I do, yeah.
• 5:59
  Speaker 5: So it was very cool to go see, and now
• 6:02
  Speaker 5: I can finally say, like, oh, I've been there.
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: Okay, well, I want to go there, too. Thanks for
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: the heads up.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was very, very cool.
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: And just an awesome-looking disc golf course, by the way,
• 6:11
  Speaker 5: for anybody who enjoys disc golf.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: Go check it out.
• 6:15
  Speaker 5: And it was just kind of a fun family Monday
• 6:17
  Speaker 5: at the park for the gliddons yesterday.
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: Drop it, drop it.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Big 98.7. Now, according to the calendar, it is not.
• 6:25
  Speaker 5: the official start of fall, but we all know when
• 6:29
  Speaker 5: Labor Day comes and goes, it's fall.
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: And Angie, do you want to know how I want
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: to celebrate fall today?
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: I'm concerned, but sure.
• 6:37
  Speaker 5: I have compiled a list of some artists, some musicians,
• 6:41
  Speaker 5: some musical acts, and we're going to hear what they
• 6:44
  Speaker 5: would sound like if they were falling down some steps, okay?
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: You are a ridiculous human.
• 6:50
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Take a listen. Who would this be, Angie? Ah! Ah!
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: Happy unofficial start to fall.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: That's Michael Jackson.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: That is Michael Jackson. Who is this? Oh, went down, down, down.
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: I fell. Johnny Cash.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: That is Johnny Cash. We are celebrating the unofficial start
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: of fall today. Who would this be falling down some steps? Mama!
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: Okay. Freddie Mercury.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: Did the ending give it away there?
• 7:29
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: Okay. How about this? Who is this falling down some steps?
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: I have one more for you as we celebrate the
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: unofficial start of fall.
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: We are so. That's good old Whitney.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: Someone had way too much time on his hands.
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: I love it.
• 7:55
  Speaker 5: Happy unofficial official first day of fall here from the
• 7:59
  Speaker 5: Big 98.7 Morning Show. Well, I got some kind of
• 8:07
  Speaker 5: scary news for you, but streaming prices are rising more
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: than cable and much faster than the rate of inflation.
• 8:17
  Speaker 5: Since 2022, streaming prices have jumped more than three times
• 8:21
  Speaker 5: the rate of inflation, to be exact.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: What?
• 8:24
  Speaker 5: Which, as you've probably noticed, is pretty high itself right now.
• 8:28
  Speaker 5: For example, Apple TV launched at $ 4. 99 a month back
• 8:34
  Speaker 5: in 2019.
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: I literally just got charged. Is it at $ 12. 99 right now?
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: It's tripled. So do you have commercials? That might be
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: why it's $ 12. 99.
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 8:44
  Speaker 5: Disney launched the same year at $ 6. 99 without ads. Now
• 8:47
  Speaker 5: it's $ 12 with ads. And then finally, Netflix is up
• 8:50
  Speaker 5: like 125%. I'm not even making that number up.
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: 125% since 2013.
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: The cheapest tier of Paramount Plus is up over 80%.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: Over the past five years, everything is cyclical.
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: We're all going to be watching basic cable again at
• 9:15
  Speaker 5: some point because we can't afford streaming.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: Paramount Plus just charged and it charged me $ 15.
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: 44.
• 9:20
  Speaker 5: Do you know off the top of your head if
• 9:23
  Speaker 5: you could add all of them up that you have?
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: Bro, way too much. Do you want to know the number?
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: No, fine. Tell me.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm asking you. I don't know what it is. Yeah.
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: No, you know what?
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: I feel like I should because it's getting to the
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: point where I'll check my bank statement, which I hate
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: to do in general, but it'll be like little charge,
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: little charge.
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: And it's like, I know this is adding up.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: But the problem is.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: You can't just decide, okay, fine, I'll just go to
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: cable because it'll be cheaper in the long run because
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: they do not have the things on cable that they
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: have on these streaming services, and they know that. And
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: that's why I keep paying $ 525, 600 for streaming.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: Well, if you have all eight Of the major streaming services.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 10:10
  Speaker 5: You know what's crazy? We might have all eight of them.
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: So I'm kind of bummed to know this number. Yeah.
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: If you have all eight, it costs $ 151 a month
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: for all of these without ads or bundle commitment. So
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: if you have the ads, first off, if you don't
• 10:28
  Speaker 5: have ads, you're rich. If you have the ads, it's
• 10:31
  Speaker 5: still a gajillion dollars.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: I was watching at my sister's one day. We were
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: watching Peacock. And we were watching a Love Island something.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: And there were no ads.
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: And I was like, you rich.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, right. You're rich.
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: What do you mean?
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: And she was like, well, this is someone else's account.
• 10:48
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 10:49
  Speaker 5: There is a trick to doing this. If you did
• 10:51
  Speaker 5: want to be able to watch your favorite shows. And
• 10:54
  Speaker 5: the trick is to sadly. cycle through them if you
• 10:58
  Speaker 5: really want to save money it's find the one that
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: you're using for that month and you realize you know
• 11:03
  Speaker 5: i haven't used hulu a lot the past two months
• 11:06
  Speaker 5: is to just cancel it and not get hulu back
• 11:08
  Speaker 5: until you need it or netflix or you know vice
• 11:11
  Speaker 5: versa if you could only pick one for this month
• 11:14
  Speaker 5: okay it's september 8th we're still in the early portion
• 11:16
  Speaker 5: of the month Which one would you want for the
• 11:18
  Speaker 5: month of September?
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: 701-280-1987.
• 11:21
  Speaker 5: You only get one streaming service this month and then
• 11:25
  Speaker 5: in October you could change it.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 11:27
  Speaker 5: But what one are you keeping and why are you
• 11:30
  Speaker 5: keeping it? What are you watching? 701-280-1987. Which one are
• 11:34
  Speaker 5: you keeping, Angie?
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: I have to keep Peacock because I'm a Bravo-holic and
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: Bravo is on Peacock and there's so many I mean,
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: Ultimate Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip. There's a new season of.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: Some Housewives franchise. Oh, the New York. There's just so
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: much happening on Bravo that if only for that, I
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: have to keep Peacock.
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I probably would keep Peacock as well. There's a
• 11:58
  Speaker 5: lot of football games that are on Peacock and golf
• 12:02
  Speaker 5: that is on Peacock.
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's true.
• 12:04
  Speaker 5: And with the NFL coming back, probably you'd get the
• 12:08
  Speaker 5: most bang for your buck.
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 12:10
  Speaker 5: You know what's crazy? Out of all of them, the
• 12:12
  Speaker 5: one I could probably do without for maybe ever is.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: Netflix. Really? We never use it.
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: And I'm sure we're paying the 20 bucks or whatever
• 12:22
  Speaker 5: relative we're borrowing it from. And then we're borrowing whatever
• 12:25
  Speaker 5: to whatever relative. We never have Netflix on other than
• 12:29
  Speaker 5: to watch like documentaries.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: I was going to say that makes me know you're
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: not obsessed with true crime. I think if you're obsessed
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: with true crime.
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: You keep Netflix.
• 12:37
  Speaker 5: Yeah, 701-280-1987. You only get one streaming service for the
• 12:41
  Speaker 5: month of September. Then you can switch, obviously, in October.
• 12:44
  Speaker 5: Which one are you picking and why are you picking it?
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: Let us know. $ 151 a month.
• 12:49
  Speaker 5: I could have gone my entire Tuesday and not learned that.
• 12:58
  Speaker 5: This story has been all over my algorithm. Have you
• 13:02
  Speaker 5: heard about this duo? These two guys who were pretending, catfishing,
• 13:08
  Speaker 5: scamming ladies on dating apps, dating sites, pretending to be...
• 13:16
  Speaker 5: a player in the NFL for the San Francisco 49ers.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: This is a very real story.
• 13:21
  Speaker 6: The FBI has arrested two men, including one who pretended
• 13:25
  Speaker 6: to be a 49ers player to defraud dozens of women
• 13:29
  Speaker 6: out of millions of dollars. The U.S. Attorney's Office in
• 13:32
  Speaker 6: Oregon said the pair stole more than a million dollars
• 13:35
  Speaker 6: from 2022 till now. They targeted at least 26 victims
• 13:40
  Speaker 6: on dating apps and social media and Investigators say they
• 13:43
  Speaker 6: would create fake financial documents to make them seem wealthy.
• 13:47
  Speaker 6: They would then convince the women to send them money
• 13:50
  Speaker 6: and even take out loans to invest.
• 13:52
  Speaker 5: Now, first, I will say I do feel bad for
• 13:56
  Speaker 5: these people that were taken advantage of. But I'll let
• 13:59
  Speaker 5: you know right now. If you see someone on a
• 14:03
  Speaker 5: dating website, dating app that says wide receiver for the
• 14:06
  Speaker 5: San Francisco 49ers, and you see this man wearing a helmet,
• 14:12
  Speaker 5: Running routes at the beach. That is not a real
• 14:15
  Speaker 5: player for the San Francisco 49ers, okay? He is not
• 14:18
  Speaker 5: busting out his game day helmet and running go routes
• 14:21
  Speaker 5: at the beach.
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: I mean, that screams, I'm trying to prove I'm a 49er.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: Look, I'll put helmet on. Like, listen, it is not
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: great what these dudes did, obviously.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: Not great.
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: However....
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: Hey, isn't this like Darwin said, like, we got to
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: weed out the women.
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: What are you doing? What are you doing?
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: First of all, you don't have Google. You can't just
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: Google what the players.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: Are on the roster.
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: This is crazy work to me.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: Second of all, if you're on a dating app and
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: the guy says he's rich and then asks you for money,
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: that's not a red flag.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: That's not a red flag. Who's just giving? Well, them.
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: They are.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: I don't think that they should get in trouble. As
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: much as I think that it's horrible what they did,
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: I think if you're a woman who met a guy
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: on a dating app and you're dumb enough to send
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: him a bunch of money, that's your fault.
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: That's your fault.
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: You made the dumbest choice ever, and now you got
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: to learn.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: It is kind of funny.
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: Now you got to learn. Who told you to do that?
• 15:26
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it is kind of funny that someone who would
• 15:29
  Speaker 5: presumably be in the NFL is asking you for $ 20, 000, $ 30, 000.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: And I don't care. They're millionaires.
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: It was, oh, they made these documents to act like
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: they were wealthy and then ask for money. If I
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: saw those documents, I would say, why you need my
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: money then?
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: If you got money, why you need mine? And then
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: if it's, oh, well, because I'm an investor. You know what?
• 15:52
  Speaker 5: If somebody.
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: A man is asking me to invest in something after
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: we met on a dating app that screams scam. And
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: if it doesn't scream scam to you, then you deserve
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: to be scammed.
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: I don't feel bad for you.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: Drop it. Drop it. Big 98.7. This is Am I
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: the Problem? It's me. We'll hear one side of the story.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: And with your help. Am I the problem? Decide if
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: it's right or if maybe you're the problem. I'm hardly
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: the problem. On Big 98.7.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: Is Kristen the one to blame or was her would-be
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: date out of line? Am I the problem for not
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: being able to pick a restaurant for a date? A
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: guy legit broke off going on a first date with
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: me over it. After going back and forth over text
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: for a couple of days trying to nail down a restaurant,
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: he finally called me and said we should just call
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: it off. No hard feelings, but it was giving incompatible
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: and just wants to save us the time. I will
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: admit that I have a limited palate. Like chicken tenders,
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: no condiments type palate. But I don't see why that
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: should be a deal breaker. I wasn't going to break
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: it off because he only wanted to go to more
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: exotic cuisine places. Why are his tastes okay but mine aren't?
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: I love the self-awareness. Her name's Kristen.
• 17:15
  Speaker 5: Yeah. I love the self-awareness from Kristen. Like, hey, I
• 17:18
  Speaker 5: like my chicken tendies.
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 17:20
  Speaker 5: And that's just the way it is. I'm a fan
• 17:23
  Speaker 5: of the self-awareness. What I'll say, Kristen, I don't think
• 17:26
  Speaker 5: you're the problem. This sounds like the dude, if we
• 17:30
  Speaker 5: peel back the layers of this onion, had one too
• 17:33
  Speaker 5: many convos with an ex about... Well, what should we
• 17:36
  Speaker 5: have for dinner, honey? And could never get an answer.
• 17:40
  Speaker 5: And now you are getting that taken out on you.
• 17:42
  Speaker 5: So this, I think the dude is the problem, but
• 17:45
  Speaker 5: it's not his fault necessarily either. He has just been
• 17:48
  Speaker 5: pummeled and beat down after convo and convo and convo
• 17:54
  Speaker 5: with his ex about what should we have for dinner tonight, honey,
• 17:58
  Speaker 5: which is a question that dudes only ask when they
• 18:00
  Speaker 5: are ready for 35 minutes of nothing.
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: What are your thoughts? 701-280-1987. I actually... I don't know
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: that I think she's the problem. I think that's too
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: strong a word. But I do not fault this guy.
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: Because I feel like the one thing in life that
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: you should not settle on is who you choose to
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: be your life partner.
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: Okay? Because you gotta be with this person.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: And so if for him.
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: It is too annoying in the beginning to not be
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: able to nail down a restaurant. And he doesn't want
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: to deal with that. And he doesn't want that in
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: his future. Then he doesn't want it in his future.
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: And he called. First of all, I don't know of
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: any man who calls.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: So that's a plus one called.
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: And that no, no hard feelings. But that's not he.
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: It's just not compatible.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: He's already annoyed.
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: So I feel like that's fine.
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: I feel like he actually did you a service because
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: I feel like Moving forward, it would become annoying anytime
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: he wants to go somewhere and you're like, but do
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: they have chicken tenders on the menu? The same way
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: if you were the one like, I want to go
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: to Applebee's because I know they got chicken tenders.
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: And he's like, great.
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: I want to go to Lila Thai. And then you're
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: going to be like, oh, exotic cuisine every day.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: He saved you. Some trouble. I don't think that you're
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: a problem, but he's not.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: A problem either. All right.
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: 701-280-1987.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: What do you think?
• 19:27
  Speaker 5: I think Angie and I, in a roundabout way, kind
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: of agree that it was maybe just best at the
• 19:32
  Speaker 5: very beginning to just part ways. Because you know the
• 19:34
  Speaker 5: crazy thing about eating? You got to do it every
• 19:37
  Speaker 5: single day. And if you're living with someone and you're
• 19:40
  Speaker 5: figuring out what to eat every day, that's already a
• 19:43
  Speaker 5: chore in and of itself.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 19:44
  Speaker 5: Much less if you can't agree on, you know, certain
• 19:47
  Speaker 5: food choices on a regular basis. So let us know
• 19:50
  Speaker 5: what you think. 701-280-1987. And guys, was I on to something?
• 19:55
  Speaker 5: The trick when you need 30 minutes of privacy is
• 19:57
  Speaker 5: to ask your wife what she wants for dinner.
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: Drop it, drop it.
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: Big 98.7.
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: It's me. Hi.
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: I'm the problem.
• 20:02
  Speaker 5: It's me.
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: Kristen had a guy break it off before they even
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: went on their first date because she couldn't pick a restaurant.
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: Didn't even get that first sip of coffee.
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: No, she has a really picky palate. She's somewhat no condiments,
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: chicken tendies are her jam while he likes more exotic cuisine.
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: So he called her and was like, you know, let's
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: just not. And so she wants to know if she
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: was the problem or if he was being a bit ridiculous.
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: I think he was not being ridiculous. I think that's
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: a fair reason to break it off. I don't think
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: that anytime you break off a relationship or a dating, whatever,
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: I don't think it always is like deal breaker because
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: it's red flag. Sometimes it's just little things you're not compatible.
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: And if you don't feel like dealing with it, then
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: you don't feel like dealing with it. And you end
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: it because at the end of the day, I don't
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: think you should settle with who you choose as your partner.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: Taiza said he's not the problem.
• 21:01
  Speaker 5: I'm picky and can't eat certain foods, but my fiance isn't.
• 21:05
  Speaker 5: And it can be so hard to find food where
• 21:08
  Speaker 5: multiple times we've had to go to different places for dinner.
• 21:11
  Speaker 5: I think it's okay to not want to have to
• 21:13
  Speaker 5: accommodate your meals for someone. That is the tricky thing
• 21:16
  Speaker 5: about food and relationships, is you do have to eat,
• 21:19
  Speaker 5: you know, in theory, every day.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: You gotta eat something.
• 21:24
  Speaker 5: That alone is hard enough to do when you have
• 21:26
  Speaker 5: a family, is we gotta figure out what's for lunch,
• 21:29
  Speaker 5: what's for dinner.
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: And so to have to.
• 21:32
  Speaker 5: already be staring that in the face before you've even
• 21:35
  Speaker 5: been on a first date. I don't blame him. I don't,
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: I wouldn't blame her if this, this was the other way.
• 21:39
  Speaker 5: And she was like, nah, I'm not doing this.
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: I'm vegan, which automatically is annoying for all parties involved.
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: Okay. Just kidding.
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: Because it's really.
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: Hard for me to find places that have, you know,
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: vegan options that aren't just French fries. And I love
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: a French fry, but sometimes I want some variety and,
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: And then, you know, if it's like, I want to
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: go to a steakhouse, I'm probably not the most inclined
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: to go to a steakhouse, but Mikey's not vegan.
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: My kids are not vegan.
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: And so it does, like, you have to really like
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: me to want to deal with that. And so I
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: get it if Mikey was like, in the early days,
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: if Mikey was like, It's a no, I don't want
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: to deal with all this, whatever.
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: It'd be like, fair.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: Fair.
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: I do have some advice. I used this just yesterday.
• 22:26
  Speaker 5: I have advice for couples if they're ever doing the,
• 22:29
  Speaker 5: which restaurant do you want to go to? And you
• 22:31
  Speaker 5: have the two or three or four options on the table. And,
• 22:34
  Speaker 5: you know, the wife doesn't care, but the hubby's undecided. Or,
• 22:37
  Speaker 5: you know, the wife's undecided, the hubby doesn't care. You
• 22:39
  Speaker 5: know the trick? I'm not even kidding. You say, hey,
• 22:42
  Speaker 5: you grab a coin. Heads will go here. Tails will
• 22:45
  Speaker 5: go here. And what's funny, it doesn't matter which one
• 22:48
  Speaker 5: is which. You flip the coin, when that coin is
• 22:50
  Speaker 5: in the air, the person who's undecided will instantly have
• 22:55
  Speaker 5: the one they hope it lands on, no matter what.
• 22:58
  Speaker 5: You can't help it, but have one that you would prefer.
• 23:02
  Speaker 5: And when the coin is in the air, no matter
• 23:04
  Speaker 5: what it lands on, that's the one you go to.
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, your brain does kind of make a decision as
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: soon as it gets flipped.
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: Look at you having a smart life, Mac.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: Who'd have thought?
• 23:14
  Speaker 5: If it lands on heads and it's the one you
• 23:16
  Speaker 5: really secretly wanted to go to, off you go. If
• 23:19
  Speaker 5: it lands on tails, you can go, actually, the coin
• 23:22
  Speaker 5: was in the air. I really wanted to go to
• 23:23
  Speaker 5: this place instead. See?
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: Oh, that's smart.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, never, ever fails. So a little free tip for
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: you here on Big 98.7. Drop it, drop it.
• 23:30

  Speaker 5: Big 98.7 in the mornings, who made us aware of this.
• 24:33
  Speaker 5: And this is a wonderful time to also remind you, hey,
• 24:36
  Speaker 5: if you ever have something in your life or you

  Speaker 5: see something interesting, in your neighborhood or your community or
• 24:41
  Speaker 5: in Fargo in general, and you're like, oh, that would
• 24:44
  Speaker 5: work for Gabe's Good News of the Day, send them
• 24:47
  Speaker 5: to us. It's wonderful to find out the successes going
• 24:50
  Speaker 5: on in your world, in your neighborhood, in your community,
• 24:53
  Speaker 5: the whole nine yards. So I love when people go, hey,
• 24:55
  Speaker 5: would this work for Gabe's Good News of the Day?
• 24:57
  Speaker 5: And we can actually use it. So big shout out
• 24:59
  Speaker 5: to Micah this morning.
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and I love this.
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: I feel like, especially as an adult, and let's say
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: you're new to the area, it is hard to make friends.
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: as an adult, or when you're new somewhere. So stuff
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: like this is like, okay, a big sense of community.
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: We can all connect. We're here for the same reason,
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: to make connections.
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: So it doesn't matter if you know one person, you
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: know no one, you know 50.
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: People that go. And so I think this is a
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: really cool event.
• 25:26
  Speaker 5: That's exactly right. Once again, that's coming up Thursday, September 18th.
• 25:30
  Speaker 5: And you know my favorite quote? If you don't, here
• 25:32
  Speaker 5: it is. The world is full of nice people. If
• 25:33
  Speaker 5: you can't find one, you gotta be one. And broken crayons,
• 25:37
  Speaker 5: they still color.
