Fill up your emotional bank with these hot tips · Podcast - Big 98.7

0:00
You know, before we go today, I definitely want to get into a
0:03
new phrase that I've learned. It's called emotional bank account. Yeah, Amanda
0:08
was just telling me about this, and uh, well it seems silly.
0:11
I just asked him, like, gosh, how do you feel like you
0:13
and Lauren are like in your relationship? Because you always feel like you have
0:17
a healthy relationship. And there's a magic ratio. It's five to one,
0:22
five more positive than you know, the one negative that you say, that's
0:25
where that's the sweet spot. You don't want to be better than now.
0:28
You don't want it to be like six or seven to one. Five to
0:31
one is realistic. Five to one's good, okay, absolutely, But there
0:35
is such thing now as an emotional bank account, so you should be depositing
0:40
these things into your relationship. First all, what's the what's the interest like
0:44
on emotional bank account? Am I better off with a high yield savings account?
0:49
You in this high yield savings account. You must have just learned about
0:52
this because you've been dropping a lot of high yield knowledge on me night Listen.
0:56
I drove thirty three hours from Florida to move here, and so I
1:00
all the time to listen to podcasts, and I learned a lot about accounts.
1:03
Yeah, well, now we can save your marriage, not that it's
1:06
in trouble, but telling your significant other something that you appreciate about that on
1:11
a regular basis. I feel like I do that often. Do you.
1:15
What do you always say to Nick about him raising the kids mostly on his
1:18
own? Yeah, like this morning, I said, can you please unload
1:21
the dishwasher? Thank you? I would appreciate it. I think that counts.
1:26
I think you might be overdrawn in your emotional banks. I said,
1:30
I would appreciate it. Yeah, okay, nice, Try what else you
1:34
got? Give them more kisses and physical affection. That's always key, especially
1:40
when you have kids. I find it a little bit harder. We're separated
1:42
a little bit more. Yeah, but then when you do come in for
1:46
that that squeeze and the like yeah I miss that. Yeah you know.
1:49
Yeah for the kids especially to see that in there for sure. M No,
1:53
I definitely. We talked last week maybe about how every day you should
1:56
kiss your significant other for six seconds. I tell you about that. I
2:00
tried it, like starting back, I'm like, no, no, no,
2:04
I am not done yet. You can not done. He just looked
2:08
at me. He's like, whoa settle down down girl. Another one is
2:15
make them their usual morning macha when you know they've had a stressful day ahead.
2:23
What is that a drink match? I think is a drink, but
2:25
making sure I think you can also whatever they like. Yes, to be
2:30
a drink. We don't get for some reason, my husband doesn't wake up
2:35
at three thirty and get me a macha. More like, hey, can
2:38
you stop slamming the doors, babe? Think appreciate it spending quality time with
2:43
them with your phones down. I am terrible at this and I need to
2:46
be better. Yeah, you're the world. You might be the worst in
2:47
the world. I'm not just saying the same person. Ask my wife Laurence.
2:52
She always talks about how much I don't have my phone out when we're
2:55
together. Think about that though, If you were to put your phone away,
3:00
how many times would you go and grab it? Yeah? I get
3:02
anxiety when I don't have it. It's embarrassing. It is. Have you
3:06
ever forgot your phone and you're just it takes about an hour or two to
3:08
just adjust. We don't know what to do with yourself. You're just like
3:13
I mean to be honest and Gracie, you're going to Minneapolis this weekend.
3:16
I told you a by the time that we got robbed, my friend and
3:19
I got our phone stolen by some Rascal Street and so the next day we
3:24
were supposed to go to this festival and we didn't have our phones. So
3:28
literally we had to go down to the hotel lobby. We had to have
3:30
them print map quest so we could find we're in the cities we don't like
3:32
know our way around. It was the most nightmare. They should make a
3:36
movie about the day we had trying to get around with our phones. It
3:38
was pathetic. We drove around for like forty five minutes trying to find one
3:42
store. Anyway, it didn't reroute you on your paper map quest. And
3:50
the last one if you're looking for that magic ratio in your relationships, filling
3:53
up your what is it called your emotional bank account? Yep, mine's so
3:57
full, is it? Yeah, let's see what the lasting is. Plan
4:00
a date night, date night tomorrow? Are you big date night? Yeah?
4:04
We're going to uh what'd I tell you? Tie Orchid? Okay more
4:08
a center malls you know, going so we gotta get in the wall.
4:12
Weekend Okay, you've been to the more At Center mall lately. We saw
4:15
Santa at the more Head Center, right, great, great inter Gracie.
4:17
Did you know that was a place I did. I haven't been there for
4:20
a You gotta go, you gotta got you guys. Got date nights planned,
4:24
Amanda or what? Yeah, we're we're kind of a date family.
4:28
We're doing a parade thing this weekend with the kids. No, that's not
4:30
a date. That's not filling up. Your husband's bank account is dwindling?
4:33
Are you kidding me? Deer Trail Days, Deer Creek, Minnesota, population
4:38
three h three. There is nothing better hit romance cabin bootleggers in a meat
4:44
raffle date night. Just didn't love thinking about it, Amenda in the morning
4:51
point seven trend. Now here's what you need to know. Just so heartbreaking,
4:59
you guys, as all five people aboard the sub that went on a
5:01
dive to view the Titanic are believed to be dead. Debris found at the
5:05
surface indicates that the vessel was destroyed under water and a catastrophic implosion. And
5:12
I just I guess for me, and we were kind of talking about it
5:15
off air a little, and I think you brought it up a little bit
5:16
of go too sure? Did I guess that would have been the best case,
5:19
Marrio. You think a slow suffocating death over the course of three days
5:25
in a cramped space like that, or just you know, I mean,
5:29
I guess that's better. But there's no good outcome here, so sad and
5:32
we are finding out a lot of details. You guys. The US Navy
5:35
system reports that there was a top secret explosion on Sunday, a few hours
5:40
after this happened, So they knew that there was some sort of explosion.
5:43
Did you say, top secret explosion? Top secret information from the US Navy,
5:47
and they released it yesterday. The submarine itself was not designed to go
5:51
to that deep of water. I mean, they knew this. They didn't
5:54
get the certification. There was a few people that worked at the company that
5:59
ended up getting fired. Some people quit, a lot of people backed out
6:01
on the mission because I'm like, no, this is this is crazy.
6:03
The CEO was quoted saying something along the lines of, like, you know,
6:08
safety precautions get in the way of innovation essentially, so like we're going
6:12
to do I don't know, wow. Obviously people have been down there that
6:15
deep several times, including the guy were about to hear from mister Titanic himself,
6:18
James Cameron. Yeah, he's out on their thirty three times, which
6:21
is crazy. I'm struck by the similarity of the Titanic disaster itself, where
6:29
the captain was repeatedly warned about ice ahead of his ship, and yet he
6:33
steamed at full speed into an ice field on a moonless night and many people
6:41
died as a result, And for a very similar tragedy where warnings went unheeded
6:46
to take place at the same exact site. You know, a lot of
6:49
them were explorers, and the family members were even saying if they were going
6:54
to go out, this is how they would want to. But then there's
6:56
the nineteen year old boy who was on board who didn't want to go,
6:59
according to his and fact, he only went because it was Father's Day and
7:01
his dad wanted to mc go. It's just it's such a tragedy. An
7:06
athletic trainer working at Fargo South High School was arrested for a sexual assault after
7:11
a student reported that there was an inappropriate situation with a trainer. The school
7:15
resource officer began an investigation. In thirty six year old Levi Tandy was arrested.
7:19
He is a health sciences teacher at Davies, but was working at Sanford
7:24
Health over the summer through the Athletic Training Services program. He has been placed
7:29
on administrative lead by the school district and Sanford has suspended him without pay.
7:31
Any good news, lady, I guess it depends on if you think this
7:38
is good news or not. I'm not a fan of the UFC watching anybody
7:42
fight, but I might do a little pay per view action for this one.
7:45
Elon Musk taking on Mark Zuckerberg. I thought it was a joke,
7:48
but the UFC press Dana White, did say they are absolutely deadly serious about
7:55
doing that. He said they got a group text going, which is incredible.
7:59
That also needs to be somebody needs to spill that. PLA needs to
8:01
put the screenshots on Twitter of this. I guess they want to square off
8:05
in Vegas. You said Mark Zuggerberg is trained in like karate has I've literally
8:09
been training like jiu jitsu in boxing and so like he spars and fights,
8:13
So that's why I think he would actually work. Elon Musk, who by
8:16
all accounts is not an athlete. Well, according to the tabloid reports.
8:20
When we see him, he's just rocking a dad bought and doesn't care.
8:22
Yeah, but he uh, much like me, is just desperate for everybody's
8:28
you know, approval, and so what he'll probably do is just you know,
8:31
work out and train hard and see what he can. Hire Mike Tyson
8:35
to spar with them, and he'll be ready to go. You're ready ready.
8:39
That's today, No steals the sea. Let's see. Brought to you
8:46
by Park Company, Real Tours, Work Work Work, Work, works well?
8:50
Is remarried? What happened Rihanna and asap Rocky or oh wow, just
8:58
outed yourself was super lame sap rock the very first time. That's how I
9:05
read it, and then I've conscious, I'm like, oh, don't do
9:07
it, don't do it, So now I've overthought it. At this point,
9:11
she didn't say a dollar sign a rocky famous rapper. Fun fact,
9:18
guys, I am not cool. He sparked some air rumors though, because
9:22
he had a concert the other night and dedicated a song to his beautiful wife.
9:26
Not really a rumor, is that. I mean? He just said
9:28
sometimes people aren't married and they've been together so long, especially now that they're
9:31
about to have baby number two. They refer as like wife and they're not.
9:35
Maybe honestly to me, it doesn't matter one way or the other.
9:39
They're together, they got kids. Good for them. And by the way,
9:43
talk about a girl who can rock the pregnant belly. She looked amazing
9:46
just wearing basically a see through dress. Yeah, just a sheer, beautiful
9:52
belly bump on my cat. How do you think I'm rocking the pregnant belly?
9:56
Oh? Stop it, I'm not pulling it off. Hilaria Baldwin has
10:01
seven kids with Alec Baldwin, but she says she's actually a mom to eight.
10:05
Just let me know how you guys feel about this. Who's the mystery
10:09
eighth child? Well, it's funny you should ask Pike because when she sat
10:13
down for the interview, she was discussing how Alec Baldwin is twenty six years
10:16
older than her, and she revealed that a lot of people used to make
10:20
fun of her, saying, oh, you probably have daddy issues because you're
10:24
married to somebody older. She says, no, what's the exact opposite.
10:28
Am I his mommy? Sometimes I'm his mommy? Sometimes? Stop she's the
10:35
mommy. This is the most cringe thing I've heard in a really long and
10:41
say, you know, no, I don't daddy, mommy, come to
10:45
mommy. So weird. I feel like I need a shower after that.
10:50
And it's been over ten years and Kesha and doctor Luke, they were supposed
10:54
to go to trial, been going back and forth. At one point,
10:58
I kind of I forgot what it was all about. I mean, that's
11:01
how insane it's honest, is going back and forth. But they settled yesterday
11:05
out of court. This defamation battle, like I said, has been very
11:07
nasty. She released his statement and said, only God knows what happened that
11:11
night. As I've always said, I cannot recount everything that happened, and
11:16
I'm looking forward to closing the door on this chapter of my life and beginning
11:18
a new one. I wish nothing but peace for all parties involved. Luke
11:22
said, I never drugged or assaulted her and would never do that to anybody.
11:26
For the sake of my family, I vigorously fought to clear my name
11:30
for nearly ten years. What a mess. And all those ten years,
11:33
I still don't know what that guy looks like. Yeah, it doesn't matter.
11:35
I couldn't pick him out of the line and in the morning point seven.
11:46
And just to be ultra transparent, this is not for Taylor Swift tickets.
11:50
It's just themed after Taylor Swift. Good morning, call her? Nine.
11:52
What's your name? All right? This is Andy? Andy? Andy?
11:56
All right? Nine. Yes, you are playing for a family four
11:58
packet tickets to get into the Red Verb Valley Fair. But then you also
12:01
get your choice of concert tickets. We've got Shined Down, Dan and Shay
12:05
Third Eye Blind. It is gonna be awesome. Cannot wait for the fair
12:07
their share? All right? So the game is sixty seconds show down,
12:11
Andy, here's what we'll do. You're gonna have sixty seconds. In turn,
12:13
Gracie, big Swift fan, has written down seven things. They could
12:18
be words, phrases, song titles, but they're all Taylor Swift themed.
12:22
Now you have to choose who you want to give hints to identify five of
12:24
those seven things in sixty seconds. You get to choose between Amanda or me
12:30
Pike. So big question, who would you like to give you the hints?
12:35
I'm gonna go with Amanda. I always pick Andy. What in your
12:39
head made you go, oh, let's go with Amanda. To be honest,
12:41
I think maybe Amanda's a bigger Taylor Swift fan. I don't know.
12:46
No, I think she just probably is gonna vibe with me more with the
12:48
hint game. I didn't ask you. It's all right. I'm not mad.
12:54
I'm just I'm just curious. It's it's a little I just like to
12:56
do a little survey. Yes, except, well you made your bad Andy,
13:03
So here we go sixty seconds. Amanda, you gotta give hands,
13:07
do not use any of the words in the clues, and here we go
13:09
in three two one. All right, this is the name of uh so,
13:13
Taylor Swift is has a series of concerts going to different places. This
13:18
is the name of the entire thing. Uh oh my gosh. Um,
13:24
it's not rock star tour. No, we'll pass on. Aunt. Uh
13:28
she has like two of them. I think they're named after our law and
13:31
order. They're not dogs there. Yeah, yep, um. Everybody is
13:35
making these to give away at the concert. Your little kids make them,
13:39
even give them to their besties and they put them on their wrist yep friendship
13:45
bracelet. Yep. Uh. It's a Shakespeare thing, but it's also one
13:50
of our songs about a guy and a girl falling in love. Uh,
13:58
if you're a Taylor fan, you or a what is the name of it?
14:01
Like? What yep? Got it? And the very first song that
14:05
she ever wrote teardrops on my guitar was what country singer was a part of
14:09
it? Oh? No, are you? That was so close? I
14:18
think I feel like you just made it earlier. You hit it too soon.
14:20
It's built in. I'm not cheating. It took off ten seconds.
14:26
Ross. I can't believe you would do then question my integrity. Andy.
14:28
I feel so bad because Amanda did really a poor job. We're gonna make
14:31
you a winner anyway. Congratulation. I just so you know. It's the
14:35
Eras Tour and it was Tim McGraw. Tim McGraw, I couldn't get That's
14:43
all right now, it is your choice. You get to decide what concert
14:46
you want to go to get Amanda in the morning, dust dustin, dust
15:03
dust what I'm looking for the perfect drink or drink? I'm looking for dustin
15:11
Happy Harry's bottle shop has gotten the tops. I'm like a dusting watch Berry
15:16
Slicker Beer. When he's here, it's always new dusting. Hello, hello
15:22
Dustin. You know I we still have the old song. Do you know
15:26
that's my only memory of Jesse as long as you saw we have left.
15:28
It's not answering my text. So did you hurt him? I think I
15:33
did. I don't know. I didn't brok Sorry Dustin from Happy Harry's Bottle
15:39
Shop. So we started this a long time ago, over ten years ago,
15:41
and we decided let's do new and fun products and thought like maybe it'd
15:46
be once a month. Help every single week you have new and fun coming
15:48
in. We thought we'd get all scientific and geek out on Chardonnay or cabernet
15:52
or jan and then it just went went to the way went amuck, went
15:56
a muck. But that's okay. That means consumers are getting lots of fun
15:58
stuff week. I mean it used to be would get a new product in,
16:03
you know, the guys will put a new product in once a month,
16:04
and then it was once every two weeks, you know, whether it
16:07
was a spirit, wine, beer. Literally they're putting new products in daily,
16:15
and there's there's so just it's infinite, Like I get stuck in my
16:18
ways of drinking the same course light every week, and you know, but
16:22
you got so much to me it's good to have. It's good to have
16:25
your go to your baseline, but then you just you branch out, like
16:27
if you go to the same you know, restaurant and have the same dish,
16:30
it's kind of boring. Sometimes go to the other side of the menu
16:33
or try a different appetizer or whatever. Nothing wrong with going back to old
16:37
trusty. Well, you know what we're actually starting to do at fifty or
16:41
forty five. Yeah, which I'll get into later this summer, but we
16:44
have a couple of new really small boutique distributors that have opened up North Dakota
16:48
that are Minnesota. Distributors have these really eclectic, massive European portfolios. So
16:53
I'm gonna start to redo some of the stories with going back to some old
16:56
school, bigger selections of Great German reaslings and Great German dry wines because they're
17:02
really fresh and great with food, and Austrian wines and Eastern European wines.
17:04
We added sixteen new wines to forty fifth on Friday. Wow, literally like
17:11
Great German's freezings, dry sweets, you know, quality of lines, I
17:14
mean, really really good stuff. And I'm excited about that because you know,
17:18
people of the industry is kind of dumbed, downtoe, like, oh,
17:22
that's what's the new flavor of mascott are, what's the new flavor of
17:23
fizzy. But there's these old world styles that are are really fantastic. If
17:29
people try and experience them, they're gonna say, you know what, that's
17:32
pretty cool and fun. Yeah, and I always liked you that you guys
17:34
are supporting local as well, Like Fargo Brown Company. I saw them launch
17:37
this. I'm like, I hope you guys are getting it. Of course
17:40
you are their new beer that just was released. I mean it's it's important
17:42
to support local and regional because you know what, they're your neighbors or your
17:47
friends or your colleagues. Um, and we share customers. And when you
17:51
care about your customers and you care about the community, typically good things happen.
17:55
Yeah. I was just there last night. Yeah, they're delicious beer.
18:00
My brother was playing on their patio. They got you didn't boo them,
18:03
did you? Yeah? So I do have to be somewhat according Well
18:08
let's jump into it here. So Fargo Brewing release their Aqua Cops Apricot Wheat.
18:15
When you have wheat beers and fruit like apricot. It makes for just
18:18
really fun fresh sipping. So when the weather gets warm again next week,
18:23
this is one of those that you have on the pontoon or on the beach.
18:26
This is gonna be fantas. I've been really into wheat al. You
18:27
brought in a wheat ale I think it was last week too, but yeah,
18:30
really it's like the perfect summer. Yeah. I mean, if you're
18:33
kind of tired of hops and you just want to something fresh, you want
18:36
anything dark, smooth. You know, half of visins and wheat beers are
18:38
just nice and chris, so this would be one of those. The next
18:41
one is from Fair State Brewing. This is their half of Vison again nice
18:45
clean, chris fun. I mean, it's not gonna be light as light
18:48
as a core as light or a middle or a bud light. It's gonna
18:51
be different. It's gonna have a little bit more weight to a butt in
18:52
a really fresh um mouth feeling and clean finish. So okay um. This
18:59
third one will not be that way. This is from Faulton. This is
19:02
our hop kingdom, hazy ipa. So if you can't let go of the
19:04
hops, the fault and the hop Kingdom is your jam out of a Saint
19:08
Paul rights faulting down there. You know what, I don't remember. I
19:12
think it's down in the cities. They probably changed their name. You're like
19:17
swift in or something for the weekend. Yeah, of course, you know,
19:21
we did have a lot of Minneapolis. I wasn't sure if it was
19:23
Minneapolis Sat Paul, but I wanted to be accurate, so I ripped open
19:26
the four pack to make sure, because I'm not. I'm not the beer
19:30
guru I was twenty years ago. Not that I was then, but there
19:33
was way less selection at the time. Yeah. Anyhow, some great new
19:37
beers if you want to get your can cocktail groove on. I love these
19:41
And there's a girl Ashley, who is always hanging out. She works for
19:45
Carblois and always slinging the different drinks. But I love that you guys have
19:48
a party pack now at that. Yeah, this is Variety Pack two.
19:51
I guess these four flavors are all new, so the only way you can
19:55
get him as this pack. So there's Paloma, which is our tequila cocktail.
19:59
There's a strawberry Marguerite, which is that tequila cocktail. There's a Mohito,
20:02
which is a rum cocktail, and there's a Moscow Meal, which is
20:04
a vodka cocktail. I like when they mixed up the tequila's, the mules
20:07
all that. It just it's a good variety, especially going into fourth or
20:11
July weekend when everybody has a different pallet and you're like, okay, this
20:15
is an easy stock up for They're kind of different genres as opposed you're saying,
20:18
oh, I have a pineapple, this, I have a you know,
20:21
mango this, whatever. These are different spirit bases with different flavored profiles.
20:25
So super cool pack twenty bucks available now. On the spirit side,
20:30
Yuvy vodka, Oh my gosh, I haven't had Uvy vodka. And well
20:34
you remember you think a Chuck Chuck Norris, You think all these shots where
20:37
they had Uvy, you know, blue raspberry and sharing on all those things.
20:41
They have a mango glow vodka. So if you like vodka, you
20:45
like um um mango, love mango, mabbe the goat fruit. Wouldn't you
20:51
saying I love mango. I think it's the best fruit or pineapple. That's
20:55
good. It's good. You disagree. I don't want to fight with you,
20:57
but you don't like and l This is where you guys, break up.
21:04
This is it. You don't like mango, I don't. I don't
21:07
mind mango. I enjoy man. You just weren't ready to say it was,
21:12
Yeah, I was. I was not prepared to bound that path,
21:15
like I'll be like my kids. When I met teater tot Hot dish one
21:18
one time about ten years ago, when I art eight years ago, and
21:22
I was all proud of this one, and my oldest son zachoes, I
21:25
said, well, what's wrong? Don't you like it? He goes,
21:27
No, it's not that we don't like it, we're just not hungry for
21:30
it. Actually, that devastated me. That that messed me up for a
21:37
long clearly because you're still remembering without Hesitation's like, it's not that we don't
21:42
like it, it's just that we're not hungry for it. Speaking for him
21:45
and his little brother, I'm like, sweet, okay, yeah, thanks,
21:48
he's trying to be nice. I'm gonna walk outside and shadow box now
21:51
and cry in the corner because who does not like tater tot Hot. Honestly,
21:56
my gosh, a the uvy mango. This one is super fun.
22:03
So this is a Yellowstone bourbon um um. It's really really fun. I
22:08
mean, obviously with Yellowstone r TV series, it's kind of gotten a life
22:11
of its own. But this has been around Kentucky for a long time.
22:15
Back in the sixties, Yellowstone Bourbon was the top selling bourbon in Kentucky,
22:18
which is crazy. Um, they pay homage obviously the Yellowstone, but this
22:22
is our very first store picks single barrel with them, and one of our
22:26
guys, Greg, who pretty much is our lead driver on all our store
22:30
picks, I mean he has he has an amazing palette. When they picked
22:34
us one out, he told me this is a top five store pick of
22:37
every anything we've ever picked out over the last twenty years, so he's pretty
22:41
excited about. It's fifty two bucks, which is great for a single barrel
22:45
store pick whiskey. And there's only a limited number of these. Yeah,
22:48
we got one barrel, so you know, whatever you have a day,
22:52
all vary, you know, sometimes you get twenty six six packs, sometimes
22:56
you get thirty six six packs, just depends on on evaporation. Angels are
23:00
all that. So that's awesome. So if you want some fun bourbon for
23:03
the weekend, this would be a great one. This one's super cool.
23:07
This is sip Smith's. It's not a London This is their strawberry smash gin.
23:11
This smells so good. It did, it really did. And I
23:15
love a good gin and tonic and literally this one. You could make a
23:18
smash, a strawberry smash gin and tonic. So one part strawberry smash,
23:23
three parts premium tonic water like fever Tree or que and then slice up some
23:27
strawberries. People ask me about that, They're like, is it really because
23:32
we've talked about it a few times, fever Tree or Q or getting a
23:34
different because for me it's club soda as well, but tonic more importantly,
23:38
it adds a totally different flare to your drink. It does crazy to me.
23:42
I mean not to disc Canada dry and swepts. You know, they've
23:45
been around for years, but they're good for the bulk. But if you're
23:48
gonna make a premium cocktail and you're gonna use a premium spirit, use a
23:52
premium mix. Sure, I mean makes a difference. Yeah. Like I
23:56
would always tell people and they would they would cook with wine. Um,
24:00
if you're gonna make like just a big you know, primary or not a
24:04
primary of pot rolls with wine, yeah, you can use something, you
24:08
know, cheap. If you're gonna make a sauce with mushrooms, you have
24:11
white wine or whatever else, or red wine, and that sauce is going
24:15
to go on top of your filet mignon and it's gonna be an integral part
24:18
of the flavor. Enough, then use a better wine because then you serve
24:22
that wine with that dish and it all ties together. Yeah. It's kind
24:26
of like coffee, Like the coffee's only as good as the water, right,
24:29
sure, I mean you don't use like trash water if you're gonna have
24:30
good coffee. Well, and if you're sipping premium whiskies, Yeah, you
24:33
want to make sure your ice cubes are made with you know, distilled water
24:37
because you don't want I didn't know that because when it sets up, you
24:41
don't want anything that's gonna affect the flavor. You want that water to be
24:42
clear, clean, so that it's just providing a cold factor and a dilution
24:48
factor. It's not providing any flavor because you don't want to detract from the
24:51
whiskey. Speaking of wine, I've gotten into the box wine. The Bota
24:55
box. They're killing it. Bota boxes, they've been killing it. I
24:57
mean, you have twenty four glasses in a box. They last for six
25:00
weeks. It's just a great I mean for fifteen sixteen bucks, you really
25:07
can't go wrong. And they have they have they have their Breeze line,
25:10
which is kind of like their light. They have their Regular, and then
25:11
they have their Nighthawk, which is their heavy so it's like skim milk two
25:15
percent milk, cole milk. Then they release this one. There's summer release.
25:18
It's a season also. When it's gone, it's gone. And they
25:22
use Shennon Blanc Una, which is a really classic fun cocktail wine blend.
25:26
We have Pine Ridge has a Shenne Bloc. Vina Tertior has a Shennon block
25:30
Vona, where it's around eighty percent Shena Blanc, which is a very clean,
25:33
fresh white wine and about twenty percent Vuna, which is a very bright,
25:37
Greatest City kind of piny white varietal, and together it just makes for
25:41
this kind of fun, vibrant sipping white wine. Yeah. I love it.
25:45
Perfect for the pontoon for Sure's right awesome. I noticed a trend.
25:51
There's a lot of drinks that go perfect on a pocket. I think I
25:52
just like drinking. Well really just this time of year, after general,
25:57

26:37
as you know, our big ninety point seven big Christmas wish we've been
26:41
doing for years. Yes, and it's our chance to be able to help
26:44
out some people who are going through some really really just brutally tough situations and
26:48
we're hoping to do that right now. Make a little surprise and love that
26:52
we can do this blutely good morning. Hello, good morning. Is this
26:56
Brittany. Yeah, Hi Brittany, This is Pike and Amanda on Big ninety
26:59
eight point seven. Is it okay if we talked to you really quick on
27:03
the radio. Sure? So, Brittany, we were just informed about a
27:07
little benefit that took place last night for your husband Ross, So we just
27:10
want to know kind of how that went and what's going on. It went
27:14
really, really good. We had a couple hundred people out and that was
27:17
just a really good event to kind of see all of our friends of family.
27:21
Well, we have heard of through your friend Tanya Schmidt that you guys
27:23
have been going through a really hard time. Can you take us back to
27:26
October twenty sixth when you found out what was going on with Ross. Sure,
27:33
we had actually made plans sorry, oh, of course, take your
27:40
time. Had made plans to go to the und game in Vegas, and
27:47
the day before we were supposed to leave, my husband was in a car
27:49
accident and was lifelighted to Stanford, where we found out he had a tumor
27:56
in his brain, and then he also had some injuries from the accident itself,
28:00
so he had to get some surgery down on his shoulder, and then
28:06
when the tumor came back after it was removed, it was great for brain
28:11
cancer. I am wow, so sorry, And if you don't mind me
28:14
asking, how old is Ross? Thirty nine? So young? Just devastating
28:18
all of the circumstances in tailing all of it. I mean, I can't
28:22
imagine a car accident that alone is going to be so horrendous, and then
28:26
having to go through all of this. And you guys have a couple of
28:27
kids as well, don't you. Yes, we do, plan and Bryson
28:33
those eight So how is everybody holding up the kids? And you are you
28:37
guys hanging in there? Yes, the kids are actually doing very very well.
28:40
The community has been amazing and super supportive and helping keep things pretty normal
28:45
for the kid. Yeah, and how are you as a mom? I'm
28:48
sure it's hard trying to be supportive, but also just knowing all the medical
28:52
things that are going on, it's got to be really challenging ups and downs
28:56
for sure. I'm guessing Ross is not working and the medical bills have got
29:00
to be adding up. Yes, well, we actually wanted to see if
29:03
we could maybe just provide a little bit of an up for you this morning.
29:07
So we had a little bit of a surprise for you. Yes,
29:11
we wanted to add to this amazing benefit that you guys had the other night.
29:15
So the Big ninety eight point seven Christmas Wish has been going on for
29:18
a whole lot of years, and we like to be able to help anywhere
29:21
we can, and our friends over at Heartland Chevy Dealers they also want to
29:23
attack on some money. So we want to write you guys a check for
29:26
a thousand dollars just to be able to add a little bit of early for
29:30
you and your family. That is awesome. Thank you. You are so
29:36
welcome, and I know it doesn't feel like that is even enough, and
29:38
I know there's a lot of people listening right now who definitely want to help.
29:41
And we actually have a video that we are posting. It's on our
29:44
Big ninety eight point seven Facebook page and right there, one hundred percent of
29:48
the proceeds people can donate that is going to go directly to you and your
29:51
family as well. Thank you so much. It's the least we can do.
29:56
It really is. We've been thinking about you guys, and you know
29:59
the community. I know I've heard a lot of great things about Ross and
30:02
your family. I used to wrestle, and I remember Ross was a heck
30:04
of a wrestler back in the day, so I've definitely been thinking of him.
30:07
But it's the least we can do, so I hope you guys just
30:11
hang in there and our thoughts are with you. Thank you very very much,
30:15
it's very appreciated.
