• 1:20
  Speaker 1: swung and missed. It wasn't anything like that, but it

  Speaker 1: was just so regular, and I thought it was, oh
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: my god, I'm getting every girl's number in seventh grade today.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: What were you wearing?
• 1:37

• 1:41
  Speaker 2: Please do I had?
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: I mean, just do you remember a couple of weeks
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: ago I went on that rant about plain shirts are
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: way better than like, Oh yeah, I had on just
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: a solid plane, like a strong red like American flag
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: red T shirt.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: Just that's it. That was the outfit. And then I
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: just wore some black shorts.
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: And that's what you thought was gonna have all the
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: little seventh grade gurlies on your show.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: I thought I was gonna have to get rid of
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: my cell phone. It was gonna be so full.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: Oh that's so funny, most plain thing.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: It's like something you'd wear, you know, on a typical Wednesday. Yeah,
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: may that's funny game.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: And I thought I was the coolest look in seventh
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: grader of all time.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: I will say I think it's that red as a
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: power color, because for me, the first day of school
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: outfit that I always remember was me starting fourth grade
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: and I had it was like.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: It wasn't overalls all the way.
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: It was more like it looked like suspenders connected to short.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: Was it Fauveralls?
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: I hate everything about you, but yes, Faveralls, I suppose.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: And it was it was navy, and then the shirt
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: that I wore was a bold red, but the sleeves
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: had navy trim to match. And then I had faux tims.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: I couldn't afford timblands. Back in the day, I had gosh,
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: but yeah, I'm not like sandy camel color. I thought
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: looked so dope with the navy and the red, and
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: I had gotten like a fresh haircut, and I just thought,
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: oh my gosh, am I going to rule this?
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: You thought you were the.
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: I guess I'm going to be the number one batty
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: except whatever the term was back then, we weren't saying
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: batty in nineteen ninety six.
• 3:42

  Speaker 1: probably got to mix in a little bit of learning.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and a little bit of learning.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: That in and of itself is a massive victory for
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: a lot of people. So Angie and I will match
• 4:18

• 4:31
  Speaker 3: which those apartments.

  Speaker 3: Big ninety eight point seven. Yep, and our girl Carissa
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: gave us a beautiful tour of the building, which included
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: a golf simulator. And I had never tried a golf
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: simulator before. Oh, and I thought that was so cool.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: It was a ton of fun.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean I wasn't good at it, but you
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: at least showed me how to hold the club, which
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: is major for me. So that's my little victory is
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: that I at least hit the ball on the golf simulator.
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: Did it go far? No, you got to get registered,
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: you got to.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: Do some golfin.
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: Yes, I really enjoyed that. So thank you Gabe, and
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: thank you Carissa. Yeah, there's nothing like golfin while you're working. Yeah,
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: it's kind of like free beer. You know, free beer
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: just tastes better. Yeah, golfing when you're working just kind
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: of the same, you know, Yeah, that's the same vine.
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: It's awesome.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, my little victory.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: And we are kind of late on this, but my
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: wife and I finally now there is a little process
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: to do because this is the most annoying part, but
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: my wife and I finally have a belong to a
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Fargo bank.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: Oh we have.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: Just when we were dealing.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: With selling the house and I were or whatever, we
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: were like, Okay, we are not going to do anything
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: with this until that process is right. It's just way
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: too hard to keep track of all these other things.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: We'll just leave that there and once that process is done,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: we'll move everything to Fargo. So yesterday we signed up
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: for a Fargo bank and now it's just the process
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: of making sure all right, switch all this automatic payment
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: to this count, you know, so we got to go
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: through that a little bit.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: But it will be nice to have a bank here
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: in Fargo.
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Doesn't it make you feel like, Okay, I for real,
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: I'm a local, I'm a resident. That's how I felt
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: when I got my North Dakota driver's license.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I tell you how I live here now
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: for real?
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure, especially to that there's only one thing
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: kind of tying us to iwan, it was just literally
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: just a bank that yeah, you know, it didn't It
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: doesn't really affect us any way, shape or form until
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: it does and you need a bank exactly.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: Oh well, congrats to the two of you, Thank you,
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: thank you. Have you ever got stuck somewhere? Now?
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: This sounds kind of like my worst nightmare? And thankfully
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: all was well with this gentleman, But emergency were bonders
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: were called to this playground as a forty year old
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: man became wedged inside the middle portion of a tube slide.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: Stop.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: I cannot think of a anything more terrifying or b
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: embarrassing for my buddies to make fun of me for
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: the rest of my life.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's awful.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: It's like, how do you come back from Oh, dude,
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: remember that time you got your foot stuck in the
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: slide or whatever you know happened to him.
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: This man got his entire body stuck in the slide.
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: Rescue crews had to go that's crazy.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: It's this big viral story on the internet, and it
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: said he was wedged feet and headfirst in the middle
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: portion of the slide.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: So someone someone.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: Estimated that he could, you know, relive his childhood for
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: a five second slide ride, and it turned out to
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: be a couple hours before he could get out. So
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: have you ever been stuck somewhere? That would be my
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: worst nightmare because I'm kind of claustrophobic.
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: Oh you are, I'm not claustrophobic at all, and I'm
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: also not afraid of heights.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: I digress.
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: I got stuck on an elevator, like an industrial elevator.
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: I worked at the mall. I was nineteen, and I
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: worked at this store called The Children's Place, and we
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: sold children's clothes. And as a nineteen year old who
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: didn't have kids, I didn't really care for all the
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: kids running around and touching everything and whatever. So anytime
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: there was a trash run. I always volunteered to do it.
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I was like yeah or something. Yeah, like well,
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: let me just get out of here for a little bit.
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: And so there was this big, huge elevator that you
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: had to like do this like pully lever thing to
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: close the big doors and then the little doors would close.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: It was a whole for cold. Yeah, that's what it
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: felt like it.
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: And so I went in with a big old, you know,
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: tank of trash to take out and I closed the
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: thing and I hit the elevator to go down, and
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: it did go down most of the way and then
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: just kind of.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: Sure and stopped.
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And I was like what And so I kept
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: hitting the button thinking that would do something, and it didn't.
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: And it was smelly. I had trash with me, lots
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: of trash, and so I'm sitting in this elevator and
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: I thought, well, I need to call for help. I
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: had a flip phone at the time. That was it
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: was two thousand and five, I want to say. And
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: I had a little flip phone and I didn't have
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: like any reception, and I thought, great, how am I
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: going to call someone to get me out of here?
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: I mean, there's an emergency button on the elevator. But
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: the part of me that also said, ooh, if you're
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: stuck in an elevator, you do not have to go
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: back to your shift. So I just kind of relaxed
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: in the elevator. I you know, blocked out the smell
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: of the trash. That was fine, and I chilled and
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: I played the Little Snake game on my phone, yeah,
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: for like half an hour where it was great, And
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: then finally I was like, okay, let me hit this
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: emergency button. And eventually, like the crew for the mall
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: or whatever came and they did something. They pulled the
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: elevator where it needed to be and I got out.
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: But by the time I made it back to finish
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: my shift in store, it was like, oh no, it's
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: time for me to clock out. So it was probably
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: the greatest day of my life.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: As you a young person working.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: You stuck in a small elevator and like being perfectly
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: fine with not going back to work. You like you
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: made a choice, right, I'm gonna sit here and smell
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: mall garbage.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, were thy? Marissa? Have you ever got stuck or
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: what happened to you?
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: At one time? I got myself went halfway into a
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: revolving door because my bagstrap got hot and the security
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: guard had to reverse the whole thing to free me
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: while a line of people just stared.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: Okay, because Marissa was fine. Her getting stuck with her
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: backpack almost like a turnal on its back, is a hilarus.
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: This is sorry, not sorry. We say the thing you're thinking,
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: but are too polite to say we die on the
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: hill of controversial opinion, So you don't have to, Gabe.
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: I think today you're dying on the hill of controversial opinion.
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: What has got you so worked up?
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: All right?
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: If you cannot figure out how roundabouts work, it is
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: time to retake that driver's test.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: I'm not talking about if you don't like roundabouts, that's fine.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: They obviously are a more safe alternative than stop signs,
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: but I'm not here to argue that today. I am
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: talking about the individuals who, for whatever reason, can't understand
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: how roundabouts operate. Okay, there are two very simple rules
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: when using a roundabout, and if you can't figure out
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: how to do that or keep track of those two rules,
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: hop in the nearest driver's ed test near you, and
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: let's retake that bad boy till we get it all
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: figured out. Not only should you retake the driver's test,
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: but you should lose your right to vote.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: And I think you need to.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: You need to engage in more activities that stimulate your brain. Okay,
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: here's a quick refresher. If you need help when entering
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: a roundabout when there's no cars, go when you're in
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: the roundabout, keep driving until you want to exit.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: Yes, I mean you know it's crazy. That's it.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, those are the two rules. It's the most basic
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: form of driving. When there are no cars coming, drive.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: This is as easy as crossing the street on your
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: bike when you're twelve. I see kids do it in
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: my neighborhood every day. When there's no cars, they cross
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: the street. When there's cars, they wait their turn, They yield.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: As a licence adult, you should be able to know
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: how roundabouts work. And if you don't, let's go sign
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: up for a class. I'm sorry, but I'm not sorry
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: at all.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: It's not about the money money.
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: I need some advice.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: I need some help.
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: So my son Aiden, he's about to be fifteen in October.
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: He's starting high school next week, which I can hardly believe,
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: but he brought up that he would like to start
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: receiving allowance. Now, growing up, I never got allowance because
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: only were so poor. But I always wanted.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: To see, I don't know, your mom allowed you to
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: live there. That's something my parents.
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: That was my mom's lodging. Well do you leave here
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: for free? And that he's sent up for you. But
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: I always wanted to give my kids allowance, and I'm
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: capable of doing so, I just haven't because they.
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: Never brought it up.
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: But now he's brought it up, and I I need
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: help because I don't know what the going rate is, Like,
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: what's a fair allowance for my kid who's starting high school?
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: Because I want him to have like money to do
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: you know whatever on the weekends. And so this allowance
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: would be different than him earning money because we've already said,
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: well there are things that you can do to earn
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: extra cash. So like Mikey was like, well, if you
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: clean my golf.
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: Clubs, I love this. I'll give you twenty bucks. Yeah,
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: I love this.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: Aiden whenever you need twenty bucks, right, Uncle Gabe's got
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: some clubs who cleaning. Okay, you pop over to my house. Excellent,
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: I'll give you twenty bucks to clean some golf clubs.
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: I will let him know that. And then I told him,
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: I was like, I'll give you, I'll throw you some
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: money if I don't feel like doing your little brother's
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: laundry and you do it for me. So that's cool.
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: But in terms of just a weekly allowance, I do
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: want to give him something just for existing in my
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: life as the son that I love. Because also he
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: didn't ask to be here. Okay, I chose to have him.
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: So let me throw this kid some bones.
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: But I can afford it. I respect.
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: So what is a fair allowance for a kid weekly?
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: Fourteen years?
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: A fourteen year old, he's about to be fifteen, he's
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: starting high school. And I just don't know what the
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: going rate is right now for for allowance.
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't know either.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: We didn't We didn't really do like allowance at our house.
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: It was very uh like, oh, you're allowed to live
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: here kind of deal. Yeah, so I wouldn't have a clue.
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: What the going rate is, So let us let me know.
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: Seven oh one two, eight h one, nine eighty seven.
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: Do you give your kids allowance?
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: What? How much is it? Yeah?
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: What should he be expecting from me. He had said,
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: he offered a number, but I feel like maybe it's
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: too low. He was like, what if I get ten
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: dollars a week? But in my head, I thought that's
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: a little low. Guy, be a better negotiator.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: Well what about like what for if people are like, oh, well,
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: he could get a job, what would you say about
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: something like that where he did, like a part time,
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: fifteen hour a week job.
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: Okay, so maybe I'm in the minority on this. I
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: don't want I didn't work when I was in high school,
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: and I don't want Aiden to have to work when
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: he's in high school because I feel like childhood is
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: such a short season and you have your whole entire
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: life to work that I don't want him to get
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: a job. And I understand that a lot of parents
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: have their kids get jobs because it's like you got
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: to teach him responsibility and all that. Right, I'm not
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: gonna do that.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: No, what if he wanted one, because he's like, well,
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: you know what, mom, this allowance isn't enough, I need
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: to go work whatever.
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, if he wanted one, I would be like, okay,
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: but you know, just make sure schoolwork comes first, you
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: know what I mean? So if it ever is getting
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: to a point where his schoolwork is suffering because he's working,
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: then I wouldn't be cool with that. But I know
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: my kid and he's not gonna ask, hey, can I
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: have a jobgag wag.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: Work is what everyone's telling Angie to tell her kid
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: to do.
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah. So my son, he's about to be fifteen, he's
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: starting his freshman year in high school next week, and
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: he has requested that he be given allowance, and I said,
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: that's fine. So I'm trying to figure out what number.
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: And I asked, Big ninety eight life still here negotiation, Yeah,
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: for sure. So I mean I asked in the Big
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: ninety eight point seven Facebook page, and most people are
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: just saying, make that mulle go to work. But the
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: thing is, I don't. I don't feel like I want
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: him to work if he doesn't want to, because I
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: think childhood is such a short season as it is. Micah,
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: I think, is the only person who agrees with me.
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: In the comments. Everyone's saying work, but not a lot
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: of places higher under fifteen, and even so their priority
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: freshman year should be getting in the groove of high
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: school and learning. They'll be working their whole lives. That
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: is my logic, sure on that, but I get it.
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: I appreciate it. A lot of the people in the
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: comments are saying that their kids do work, and kudos
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: to them. I just don't think that that's gonna work
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: for our family. But Gabe, you said that someone in
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: our text messages had a good idea.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and if you are, you're also saying that, you know,
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: if maybe when he's fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, and he goes, oh, hey, mom,
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: the little Measley fifteen books or whatever you're giving me,
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: like I need some more and he wants to go
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: get a job.
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: You were cool with that. Yeah, I'm cool. We're going
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: to work today, right, and I do.
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: He will be able to earn money other ways, like
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: cleaning golf clubs.
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: Gave you're you're a taker for that. Yeah, well you might.
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: We might negotiate the going rate though, Yeah for sure.
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: For sure, but yeah, just for a base allowance. I
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: was wondering, like, what's the going rate? What would you
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: be giving your kids?
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: So Jason sent us a text and he said, and
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: this is actual, I think real advice other than just
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: go to work, okay, he said, our kids get allowance
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: based on age, so his ten year old gets ten
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: dollars a month and the fifteen year old gets fifteen
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: a month as they but they get more and more
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: as they get older. They also get extra for you know,
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: bigger jobs like mowing, just kind of like everyone has said.
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: But once they turn sixteen, then it jumps to twenty
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: dollars two times a month because they can drive and
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: they usually take their siblings around.
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: Oh nice.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: They also end up with a checking account at thirteen,
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: and I make an auto deposit, so I don't forget,
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: but on the flip side of that, I also forget
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: to take it away. So my twenty year old has
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: been getting fifty dollars a month and he doesn't live
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: at home anymore, which is great.
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: Oh nice, twenty year old.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, oh, I forgot this auto deposit too. Is the
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: most dad thing I've ever heard.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: Well, I love that.
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: I think that is good advice. I am gonna text
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: I think it's so funny that we can just text
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: our kids.
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: I'm going to text Aiden with this idea and see
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: what he says. I mean, at the end of the day,
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: I'm the one who makes the rules.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: Okay, And Gie normally this is going the other way
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: and it's me. You kind of roll your eyes at
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: before you find out what's irritating me in that moment. Yes,
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: how was I a bad co host to you yesterday?
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: I can only imagine.
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: Gabe, do you recall, maybe it was a couple of
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: weeks ago when you were so mad that I didn't
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: congratulate you on National Middle Child's Day.
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: Do you remember that?
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: Well? Yeah, that's an important day. You know that it
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: matters to me. It's something I care about. I take
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: it a lot of deep pride in It's just something
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: that's so important that I made a video about it
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: and it's on the big ninety eight point seven Facebook page.
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: Oh well, isn't that just funny because.
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: Video? Yeah?
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: Mm hmm.
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: Well, yesterday, Gabe, it was National Latina's Day and you
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: said nothing to me. I am, I think, the only
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: Latina in your life. I'm Cuban and you.
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: Didn't see anything to me.
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: Okay, I teach you Spanish whenever you want.
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: I am nice.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: I will say that is an Angie benefit there when
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: I need a Spanish word, I just.
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: Got Angie exactly. I do.
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: My mom's adorable Cuban accent for you and it just
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: tickles you. But you didn't think to say happy National
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: Latina's Day to the only Latina in this building.
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: Well, in my defense, I don't think you knew what
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: day it was until after work was over.
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: Well, that is inaccurate. I knew.
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: Midday, so we were still hanging out midday, we were
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: at the block apartments, and you said nothing.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: Okay, So that that was my fault. You know.
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: I gotta be better, Yes, you do. I wasn't thinking
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: about it.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: There is a slight difference though I had known all
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: day it was middle child day, and before noon I
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: had let you know about my day, right. You didn't
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: even let me know until twenty four hours later here.
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: Okay, Well, to be fair, I forgot because you're middle child.
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: I have got some games good news of the day
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: today and other than kids with their first day of
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: school in West Fargo. Congratulations, we hope you have an
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: excellent day today. Earlier this month, Taylor and her husband Jason,
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: they celebrated their wedding with a special second ceremony where
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: they first met as teenagers. Taylor, who started working at
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: this senior living center at the age of fifteen and
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: is now the dining services director. Said she affectionately calls
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: her residence her two hundred grandparents, adding that she wanted
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: to share this important new chapter of her life with them.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: The couple's love story began where began, excuse me, when
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: Taylor worked as a server and Jason in maintenance during
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: her senior year of high school. They later built a
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: life together, and when planning their wedding, they wanted to
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: include the residents who had supported and watched their relationship
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: grow over the years. The bride says that the center
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: and its people had become like her family. On the
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: big day, Taylor wore her dressed and had two hundred
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: of her senior grandparents be able to visit and check
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: out the ceremony and the wedding. And that's kind of
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: got a special place in my heart because when Corey
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: and I met, she had worked at a senior living
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: facility and it was always nice to go and visit
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: her and just talk with the individuals who were there
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: from time to time. So a very cute story about
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: this extended, and I kind of use that in quotes
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: family who got to see those two on their big day.
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: I love that it's very sweet.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: The world is full of nice people. If you can't
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: find one, you gotta be one.
