It's like it's all here. I found the coffee with a styrofoam cup.
0:57
You know, I made this coffee for like ten years. I was like,
0:59
guy may, but somebody had already made it. So I'm glad that
1:02
role has changed. Jimmy gone, so somebody's now doing it. It's crazy.
1:06
I love it. You guys, We're gonna have a great morning.
1:07
We have so many fun things coming up here. At six to eleven,
1:10
we will do a little Q and A with Pike. Well, uh yeah,
1:12
we had an ask me anything on Facebook and we have a big announcement
1:17
at seven to eleven. Already first day on the job and here we are
1:19
just big announce in it. Yeah. I love it. Just it's very
1:22
exciting. Some people think, oh, are you just saying that it's not
1:25
really that big. Oh it's big. This is huge. It's a big
1:27
daddy. I would give anything for what is coming. That's all I'm gonna.
1:33
Well, that's not breadcrum him too much. And no, seriously,
1:36
you guys like this is exciting for me. But yeah, I'm I'm jacked,
1:40
guys. Amateur MMA fighter Sali Lipp who died in that two vehicle accident
1:46
last weekend. She was twenty one years old, and her friends and family
1:49
celebrated her life over the weekend. But Dana White actually sat down for a
1:53
press conference over the weekend and one of the reporters asked him about it,
1:56
and he was getting really choked up. Yeah, that hurt me bad.
2:00
It messed me up for a few days. And uh, you know,
2:05
tragic things happen every day. Um, that one, just that one,
2:08
that one got me. And her mom went through her journal and was reading
2:14
her journal at the end of every entry. She said, Dana White will
2:16
know my name at the end of every entry. So I I, uh,
2:21
yeah, I posted about her, and I've talked to her mom a
2:24
couple of times. I leave her mom alone. I think I've been annoying
2:28
her mom since I since I found out. But um, you know,
2:30
I I did the best that I could do over the last several days to
2:37
kind of um yeah, I'm not good with this kind of style. Man,
2:43
isn't that just got wrenching? That's really cool and always used from Breckinridge.
2:47
Yeah. Yeah, so a lot of mutual people just being from the
2:51
area. Just the most horrific you know, accounts of people who were there
2:55
on the scene. It's just such a sad situation. But the really cool
2:59
that Dana White was it able to do that absolutely And on Saturday, Kelly
3:06
Clarkson took to Instagram. It happened after we were talking on air on Friday,
3:12
and Kelly Clarkson's team basically did exactly what happened to Ellen degenerous. They
3:15
all said it was a toxic work environment. There was eleven people who are
3:20
current and there's a few people who were former staff members that teamed up with
3:23
Rolling Stones to do an expose about how toxic of a work environment, how
3:28
bullied and intimidated. They felt like, is it someone with this time slot?
3:31
Like what's going on? But it's interesting. Kelly Clarkson fired back,
3:36
and she said, I love my team. The Kelly Clarkson Show is where
3:38
I find so much love, and I want everybody to feel I don't want
3:43
anybody to feel unheard or disrespected. She also went on to say, now
3:46
that we're preparing to move to the East Coast, I'm more committed now than
3:50
ever to ensure that everybody's happy on the team. I don't see it like
3:53
with Allen, and I have no reason to say this Bellier, I can
3:55
see it, you know. I can see her maybe real sucking, I
3:58
don't know, ye, But with Elly, she's so nice, she is
4:00
she just seems like the most likable person, and especially where she started on
4:04
American Idol, and she's always had so much likability. So I don't know
4:09
if it's Kelly Clarkson herself or it's just the people who are working behind the
4:12
scenes. And that was kind of what ended up happening with Ellen. But
4:14
it was your name that's getting drug through the mud because it's your show,
4:16
you know, I think it is. And obviously me starting a new job
4:18
today and having bounced around Giet, it's like everywhere it has something going on,
4:24
something you could complain about, right of course, and people do they
4:27
find it? Yeah, I don't know. I don't think that Kelly Clarkson
4:31
is the person that they're talking about. I feel like it's more just the
4:34
people around They chance the janitor and it is Britney Spears. Day you guys.
4:44
TMZ is releasing this Britney Spears The Price of Freedom documentary tonight. It's
4:47
going to be on Fox. And she has paid her lawyer. We found
4:51
it over the weekend four million dollars in legal fees, mostly for the work
4:55
that he's done after the conservatorship, and did so many legal fees have been
4:59
paid that he just oh, I'll do a pro bono now, like she's
5:01
given me so much money. I'm just it's whatever I need to do to
5:04
finish off her stuff. It's no big deal because you've got four million dollars
5:09
and you're fighting because everybody's trying to siphon money out of her. Yeah.
5:12
You literally don't have to work again because of this lady. Yeah, and
5:15
all the rich people now will come to him. It's kind of like just
5:18
any of these celebrity Yes, and he was hard of that person before that.
5:23
By the way, she was worth sixty million dollars when the conservatorship ended.
5:27
In now teams, he's like, tonight, we'll tell you how much
5:30
she's worth now. So apparently she's been blowing through a whole lot of money
5:33
in just a couple of years. Well, I had like eight cents because
5:35
we just played this song, right, yeah, yeah, Well the royalty
5:39
is going on there all right. Weatherwise, today it's gonna be great,
5:42
sunshine high. You have eighty pikes. You already have a tea time for
5:45
today. I have a driving range session. We had to cancel the tea
5:48
time after yesterday's round. Yeah, we're not ready for the course yet.
5:51
No, No, we have the driving range though. Yeah we're not.
5:56
You know, you think people think because I moved to Florida. That oh,
5:58
this guy's gonna be like a pro. That's kind of what we were
6:00
thinking, literally the opposite twenty facts. There's a lot of people asking questions
6:03
if you were in Florida, even on air, or were you just golfing?
6:08
Honestly, didn't golf that much. It's funny when you don't have people
6:11
asking you to golf every day. You know, here I go like a
6:13
thousand people text me you want to play? You on to play there.
6:15
It's like, you know, Lauren, do you want to come again?
6:17
She's like, no, not really. I'm like, okay, we won't
6:19
come. All the more reason to be back. I know. Oh my
6:23
gosh, you guys, I love it coming up here. At six to
6:25
eleven, we're gonna just dive right in. There's a lot of people who
6:28
have questions about what's been going on with you, Pike, and it's really
6:30
crazy. I'm still it's just hitting me that I'm here, you know,
6:33
based on like two months ago, I think the first time we talked to
6:35
Manda about it. So there's a lot to discuss for sure, and we
6:39
will do that at six to eleven. Today's Variety, Big ninety eight point
6:44
seven coming now I'm gonna cry. It's Big ninety point seven. Today's Variety.
6:51
It's Pike and Amanda in the morning. First time I got to say
6:55
that. Wow, I love it. It is here. You guys,
6:57
we've been talking about it, which feels like for once on end, and
7:00
today is the day. A lot of people are dying to know. Amanda
7:02
if you're resentful the fact that my name is first, but I think we
7:08
both agree that it just sounds better. It's not like, oh, he's
7:12
better, he's you know, he's the guy. No, it's oh I
7:15
didn't even share this with you. I got a message from a lady about
7:17
a week and a half ago, and she said, I don't understand.
7:20
Well. First she the first question she asked was do you need a degree
7:24
for radio? I'm like, I have one, but you don't need one.
7:27
Yeah. In fact, I would encourage not. She'd go and wondering
7:31
because I all the guys always have their names before you. So when it
7:38
is now Pike and Amanda, I just figured he had more of a degree,
7:41
like you had a Masterson radio over there, And that's why I wasn't
7:46
able to be Amanda and Pike. But Amanda, and it's too much.
7:49
I can't take it. Yeah, it's a lot, it's a mouthful.
7:51
I do have a degree, but it's the most worthless day. It's just
7:55
I just pay for it monthly, just for you know, still pay hands
7:58
for that msum degree. Wow, I'm hoping I don't have to here.
8:01
We'll see what that Supreme Court. I've been covering that one closely. Oh
8:07
my goodness. Are we live on Facebook? Oh yeah, Facebook's thinking about
8:11
it. It was working, but I got a black rotating screen right now,
8:16
So well it sounds about right. So live on Facebook and people have
8:20
questions. I know yesterday you had kind of posted a little Q and A
8:22
because yes, you've been gone for three years, but a lot's change.
8:26
Yeah. Well, and first of all, welcome if you're like new,
8:28
because I feel bad if you're like, let's say, moved to Fargo two
8:31
years ago, You're like, what the heck is all the hype about?
8:33
What are people talking about this? Yeah? Well, my name is Pike.
8:37
I grew up here in the Fargomord area. Graduated from Dilworth Gwinnen Felton
8:41
High School, which is of course a lot of people know. It's one
8:43
of the more prestigious high schools in the state. Yeah, Reels, the
8:48
Go Rebels and uh. Yeah, so we started doing a morning show.
8:50
I think we just saw on our Facebook memories. It was like eleven years
8:54
ago, are you and I? We started in what twenty eleven, two
8:56
thousand and nine, you were doing the drive by Breck when I rolled into
9:01
town. Yeah, when I was in high school. Still and so a
9:03
man and I worked together for years, obviously with our pal Jess. Yeah,
9:07
and uh and then here we are, fast forward. I had moved
9:09
to Florida to work in radio down there in Orlando, and then you guys
9:15
had this opening come up and Amanda You called me. He said, Hey,
9:18
what do you think about coming back? And I laughed for like he
9:22
laughed out loud, because when I found out Jesse was leaving, I was
9:24
crying and I called him like, hey, I need you to come back,
9:28
and he just kind of was like, well, first, and I'm
9:31
not laughing because I would never want to come back here. That's not it
9:33
at all. It's just how my wife Lauren loves Florida, her dad lives
9:39
there, and it was like, I'm not even gonna be able to bring
9:41
this up. And turns out when I did bring it up to it for
9:43
the first time, just to start feeling it out, putting it in her
9:46
ear a little. Literally, it took about two weeks before I could even
9:50
bring it up with without her crying. You know, it was just like
9:52
that emotion. So I thought it was just dead in the water on arrival
9:56
and like, there's no way he's going to come back. Oh my gosh,
9:58
what are we gonna do. We gotta find somebody. And chemistry is
10:03
like the number one thing when you're working with somebody in this job. That's
10:05
what I think, Oh my gosh. And then you called me one day,
10:09
You're like, so we've made some we made some. Yeah, we've
10:15
made a little progress here, and I think we're gonna be able to make
10:18
this work. And you should have seen me jump. I thought I jumped
10:22
right out of my chair. I've ever seen you jump. It's not it's
10:26
not now post appendix. I'm not ready for jumping, but give me a
10:31
couple of weeks jumping. The stitches about came out last week when she was
10:35
jumping. So we've got a guy, Nick Linder here saying juice been running
10:41
on our golf BET's juice. Juice been running. You're talking about your husband
10:46
for three years. Yeah. Yeah, he's referring to the money I owe
10:50
him. The juice is running is and we're gonna kind of like keep rolling
10:56
the money into another got it? Could I refuse to pay up? So
10:58
no, we'll have to keep that juice running. Nick, Um, you're
11:03
losing golf bets over there. I guess he remembers it that way, but
11:07
I don't if Nick, if you need me to collect, just let me
11:11
know. No, whatever I just started, let's get a paycheck in here.
11:15
Then I'll think about Kay, I'm gonna face some other moving expenses first.
11:18
Okay, Well, and that's what a lot of people want to know,
11:20
the big move. How did it all go? Obviously we got you
11:22
here, but you rolled right into town on Friday and we were at a
11:24
Fargo Force game. Yeah, drop my name off. Never want to see
11:28
that again. I drove a twenty foot you haul pulling my niece on Ultima
11:31
Silver twenty eleven across the country through Atlanta, through the Smokey Mountains, through
11:39
Saint Louis. I mean, it was just the worst experience because I'm like,
11:41
oh no, I've never even driven a truck, you know, I'm
11:43
a car guy. So the fact that they just give this to you and
11:46
they go, hey, have at it. I'm like, do you have
11:48
any like instructions or should I watch like a tutorial? No, it's go
11:52
ahead, fund just get get going across the country. Oh my gosh,
11:56
but no, I went actually way better than I was imagined. So yeah,
12:00
we got here. Friday, Amanda's like, let's go to the fort.
12:01
No. I actually this is how it went. I asked you if
12:05
you wanted to go to the Force game. You said, na, just
12:07
text me tomorrow, okay, yea, And then she calls me later she's
12:11
like, yeah, one of our girlfriends said she's going to the Force game.
12:13
Are you guys still don't like? Okay, you didn't work exactly what
12:16
ended up happening too. I See. I thought here we would have all
12:20
this chemistry, we'd be friends, and no, turns out we're just gonna
12:22
be formal co workers. Don't text me after nine oh one am, do
12:28
not talk to me, and I'll see you tomorrow morning. He did show
12:30
up my doorstep the other day for his golf pass, though. You did
12:33
get the fun of people wondering too, because in that little video we posted
12:37
the whole like oh I got free golf thing. It is true because you
12:41
know, we needed every bit of incentive to get Lauren on board, and
12:46
it was much of golfing every day is gonna make her happy? She literally
12:50
said, because the last summer we lived here before we moved, I was
12:54
gone all day every day, just golfing. And so she's like, it's
12:56
just gonna be like that again. I'm like, no, it's gonna be
12:58
different. So different hours in She's like, what are you doing Sunday.
13:01
I'm like, well, I have a tea time, and she wasn't surprised,
13:07
So I hope I hope she understands that it's just very it's seasonal.
13:13
It's just a seasonal saying, you gotta get it in. That's why in
13:16
Florida, you know, you just never you'll have next month. You can
13:18
play forever here. You gotta get it in. So oh gosh, we're
13:22
getting it in all right. Weatherwise, today it's gonna beautiful, by the
13:24
way, you can't get it in. Gonna be sunny, high of about
13:28
eighty and do not forget one hour from right now we have that big announcement
13:31
coming up at seven to eleven. Uh, it's gonna get wild. It's
13:35
gonna be fun. I don't want to say too much, but it's gonna
13:39
be fun. And listen, You're gonna have the opportunity to do something that
13:41
me, personally, I would never get to do. I would never you
13:43
know, right. Yeah, No, it's really like a once in a
13:46
lifetime opportunity that you'll get to be a part of. For me, it's
13:50
what you'd be winning. I'm just gonna say that. I mean, there's
13:52
all that other stuff, but the winning for me, I wouldn't give it
13:56
help. It'll make sense more when we talk about I'm talking about I'm talking
14:01
about the prize. Yeah, like the other stuffs cool, but you can
14:05
do that. Amanda just wants to win a Hey Google, Hey Betty up
14:11
to Betty one, Hey Google, whatever you're gonna like? His name is
14:16
telatively big maybe eight point seven check wait Amanda's juncture. Taylor Swift defended a
14:26
concert goer from security over the weekend. I guess the fan was confronted because
14:31
they were too close to the barricade and they were kind of being pulled away
14:33
for taking photos. So you're not supposed to do that. Taylor Swift in
14:37
the middle of singing her song, does this listen? She's like, stopp
15:00
No, she's fine, it's fine. And then but her song is still
15:03
playing. She's able to sing and talk at the same time. I don't
15:07
think she realized it as it was going on. And then she's kept going
15:09
like like she would just start screaming into the microphone. It's glorious. What
15:13
was going on that she felt the need to because security was pulling her away.
15:16
So maybe you can't tell, but maybe it was just one of those
15:22
things like, hey, she spent If I'm Taylor, she spent a lot
15:24
of money. Let the girl take a picture of me. She's right there.
15:28
I mean, lista, if your Taylor Swift, you don't know the
15:30
situation, right, what if the you know who knows what happened? You
15:33
got to trust security to do their job. Maybe not ruin the show though,
15:37
and let everybody know you're playing off a CD. I don't think that's
15:39
any boy. Now. By the way, Intern Gracie, we should have
15:45
just named her Intern Swifty because she is a Taylor Swift freak. Oh you
15:48
are, She's going to back to back shows of Taylor in this idios?
15:52
How much are we paying her interns? Do she has a Taylor Swift laundry
15:54
back? That's how far they're going this It's name. When are those shows
16:00
coming out for four? Oh? Wow? I have like outfits and everything.
16:06
Do you wor Taylor Swift stuff every day? Or did you just want
16:08
to like really set the tone today? I have a lot of Taylor Swift
16:11
stuff. So she's going to see it a big merch girl. If it's
16:15
not Taylor Swift, it's Austin Butler or Jonas Brothers, Kelsey Ballerini. She'sa
16:22
Kenny last week up at the Alyris, so the next day Kenny g you
16:30
know, a lady walking away from the merch table with the whole table.
16:33
That's Gracie, you know. And I appreach as a musician myself. Ye
16:37
you low standards stream yet doesn't exactly point Yeah, I'll get you a sweat
16:41
or don't worry, it's gonna be forty bucks. She'll probably pay sixty,
16:48
no kidding. And Britney Spears documentary is on tonight, and I guess a
16:52
lot of it is going to be diving into the marriage between her and Sam
16:56
and how it is on the rocks. TMZ is preparing this documentary to exploit
17:00
their relationship, saying that at some time, at some point, it has
17:03
gotten physical. Sam has been screaming, freaking out, but really it's gotten
17:08
so volatile that some of the security members have had to kind of get into
17:11
their relationship and break things up. I just don't know if I believe this,
17:15
But yesterday, right before bed, I had jumped on Instagram and I
17:19
cannot find it. It was taken down and nobody has saved it yet on
17:22
the internet, which is shocking to me. Sam jumped on and did an
17:26
Instagram live in his stories and said, don't believe everything you read on the
17:32
internet. Everything everybody is saying about our relationship is false. Like you haven't
17:37
said anything at all really over two years, and now all of a sudden,
17:41
you're just coming in with this because you're about to get exposed. Maybe
17:45
it's like a non statement. How many times have people come out and said,
17:47
oh, it's not true, they're just making it up, And yeah,
17:48
most of the time it's kind of true. At least some of it.
17:52
There's something right, and they're never really together. This weekend, he
17:55
decided to show a picture of them hiking, like, oh, hiking with
17:57
Mama, I think is what it said. You haven't been around her in
18:02
what we know over month. Yeah, it's weird. The whole thing's weird.
18:06
I think, where do you stand on Britney Spears? I just so
18:08
I feel bad, But at this point I feel like her legacy is just
18:14
this, all of this nonsense. We're so far past any bit of her
18:18
like providing us with some good music. And I am still in this place
18:22
where I feel like with a conservatorship. Now that it's over, I'm just
18:26
waiting for her to make this huge comeback. Waiting and waiting. And Jamie
18:36
Fox daughter over the weekend and gave a health update. Nobody knows. Is
18:38
he dead, is he alive? What's going on with Jamie Fox? What
18:41
is this like with this is Top Gun? You didn't know Jamie Fox had
18:48
the latest role in Top Gun? You could have fooled me. I don't
18:51
know. She set an update from the family and sad to see that the
18:53
media is running wild. My dad has been out of the hospital for weeks
18:57
recuperating. In fact, he was playing pickleball yesterday. Thanks everybody for your
19:03
prayers and your support. Uh, also saying we have an exciting work announcement
19:07
coming next week too. I love that the daughter is the one like,
19:10
oh yeah, we're doing this. You're the one who started this by saying
19:12
that he was in the hospital and not okay, yeah, basically vague booking.
19:17
Well, if he's playing pickleball, he must be doing fine, because
19:19
you gotta be. O's a top athlete. Big ninty eight point seven and
19:23
this is the weekend. I'm surely it's out now. Today's Variety A Big
19:30
ninty eight point seven, Today's Variety, Big nuenty a point seven, hiod
19:34
Morning, Pike and Amanda in the morning. First day, first of probably
19:40
tens of thousands of days, would have been this is fun, isn't it.
19:42
I mean, this is people wonder why I came back, and this
19:45
is this is it because we're just having fun because we're friends. And although
19:48
I did see a Facebook memory today where I was kind of roasting you,
19:52
and that's not changed. That'll that'll continue. Yeah, definitely made it into
19:56
your top five best people to work with that one. Yeah, it's eleven
19:59
years. I made a ranking of female co hosts. I'd prefer to work
20:02
with, and Amanda was fifth right below. No female at all. But
20:10
no, it's so going to be that change all right. Weatherwise today it
20:14
is going to be great, sunny at a high of a D. We've
20:17
got asked me anything on Facebook, pike and these questions are fantastic what people
20:22
are writing in. Yeah, last night I posted from the golf course.
20:23
I was at Rose Creek shot an eighty eight or is that maybe that's okay?
20:27
Somebody actually asked how I played spoiler eighty eight anyway, So people had
20:33
a lot of questions, you know, people wondering. The big one I
20:34
think is like why why would you come back? Why would you leave Florida
20:37
to come back to Fargo to work here. Yeah, that's kind of the
20:40
number one question. It's so silly to me because you know, that's just
20:44
one thing, and whether it's not the only thing, whether it matters,
20:48
I guess right right, It's like there's just so many other things when like,
20:52
if you decide a job, it's why we would all live in California,
20:56
you know, if if that was the only thing. But no,
20:59
there's so much more to it. Obviously, to work with you in Intern
21:02
Rambo and Intern Gracie, who I'd literally not met till today, but that
21:04
definitely was a big part of it. Yeah, you know, a family's
21:10
here. Like I've already spent two days with my nephews, one of which
21:12
was born after I moved THEO. He's two now and so like, I
21:17
went from not even knowing him to now, you know, he's asking me
21:21
to put him to bed. I love it. And he's calling you TT,
21:23
isn't he. Yeah, they call me TT just because my name Pike
21:26
Taylor. It's hard to say for them. That's so cute. I love
21:32
that. Go ahead because I know there's a lot of questions, So it's
21:33
the number one for me. Now that you're back and everybody's like, okay,
21:37
fine, we get over the Florida. Thing people want to know,
21:40
is a sacksman coming back to the show. Well you'd have to ask him.
21:44
No, it's mean I'm the saxman. Maybe. I mean I haven't
21:48
practiced now that I was ever any good? So intern Woody was he around
21:52
when you were No, I don't remember. I'd remember Woody. I think
21:56
Woods got some access to the saxophone. He's into the music industry. He
22:00
actually just graduated from college, and he said he has a fresh sax for
22:04
you anytime you need one. So yeah, that would somebody be interested.
22:08
I mean, do people like that? People when I wear skimpy little clothes
22:11
and grind up on them while playing that George Michael song. Well, we
22:15
did just decide maybe the grinding doesn't need to be as intense, because I
22:18
feel like towards the end of the sax man area, you were getting real
22:23
h getting a little Well, when you're not very good at playing the actual
22:27
saxophone, you gotta like sort of make up for it in other ways.
22:30
Oh, you made up for sure, did so? I think it maybe
22:33
special occasions, I think so, I'd be open to it. You're not
22:37
just shooting down the sax man. No, I'm not a hard no on
22:40
the sacks. I like that. See if Woody can't come through for us,
22:44
the old Woodster. What part of the FM area are you residing in?
22:48
Jesse wants to know a really good question. Well, I'm living in
22:52
Northmoorhead with my sister and her husband and our nephews. So for now,
22:56
Lauren and I just wanted to get settled. Ye, see what I mean,
23:00
I don't know what part of town's popping these days. We're all out
23:03
in West Fargo. Kind of the horse there. I know, I got
23:06
I went to your house the other day. I'm like, dear God,
23:07
where I'm in more Head? Oh you are? Yep, oh, neighbors.
23:11
But it really is kind of going to depend on where you. You
23:15
know, well, he used to live in West Fargo before he moved.
23:17
I'm from Glyndon. Not really that that's on the table or anything, but
23:21
um, you know, I don't know. I like South Fargo. There's
23:22
a lot of bars out there, which is important. And uh, I
23:26
don't know, but I like more Head too. So the house store is
23:30
that right? Yep? Yeah, it's good luck finding somebody right on in
23:34
next door we have Jane asking a very interesting question. Are you in love
23:41
with Amanda in a friend way? If she like didn't have new Nick,
23:45
would you secretly pine boy? I only ask because I do. Oh she
23:53
does. She pines for you. Okay, I don't listen, listen,
23:57
it's no, It's just one of those things I've had people ask me this.
24:00
It's just one of those things. We've never been single at the same
24:03
time, so star the stars never really aligned, but never say never.
24:08
Also, I was just gonna say, for the record, I've never a
24:12
co worker, like the co co workers are off limits in my fact,
24:15
Like that's just the Yeah, they're totally a play for me. About my
24:22
wife Lauren, actually I met here at the radio station. She was sure
24:25
dead. Yeah, she was an interest. Yeah, she worked for me
24:27
even better. Yeah, how do you feel about that, you know,
24:30
just stealing my stealing my employees. She was a good worker. And then
24:34
she was like, I'm done. No, I mean I don't think I'm
24:37
Amanda's type first of all. Nope, I've gathered over the years. Yeah
24:42
I really have a type. Pike. Okay, I just had to get
24:48
that one out of the way. Yeah, I mean, what's to ask
24:51
you? Would you know, you've always been a co worker. You're my
24:53
little brother, Like that's just not a thing bike, No, okay.
24:57
Yeah, and last one for this round, we have what was your favorite
25:03
teacher in high school? Justin wants to know, Oh not what what?
25:07
What was your favorite teacher? I don't know. I had a lot of
25:08
least favorite ones. In fact, I was banned from the high school for
25:11
sharing a story about one of them. That was still banned from the high
25:15
school. I haven't been back. I mean, I know there's a new
25:18
regime over there, so maybe i've maybe I can get back in. But
25:22
no. We shared a story about this one teacher who I did not care
25:23
for, and uh, and then they said, don't come because I was
25:26
supposed to go present a scholarship and they're like, now I don't come.
25:29
I'm like, what do you what? Anyway, it was a whole thing.
25:32
But I had a lot of good teachers. Let me think there was.
25:36
I'm so bad. I should have should have had one in mind,
25:38
not one that just popped into your head. It's pretty bad. Was a
25:44
legend at DGF and in the state of Minnesota is Paul Marquhart, who represented
25:48
h the District eight and the state legislature. I had Paul Markt as a
25:53
teacher too. Did you really were Uh? He did, like a I
25:57
think he did like subbing at some point. Okay, yeah, he's retired
26:00
now from everything from Congress and all that. But no, he's the man.
26:03
He was like literally the coolest guy, funniest guy, nicest man you'd
26:07
ever meet, and a great teacher. Like I learned more about. We
26:11
took Minnesota history as a class. Okay, so you knew, like the
26:14
State bird was a lunin stuff like that's yeah, that was like that was
26:18
the first day they brought a lunar and everything. That was awesome. It's
26:22
majestic. Oh the things haven't changed. Oh yes, all right, guys,
26:29
Well, we have a lot of questions and hopefully you have a lot
26:30
of answer. I hope so too. And we do have a big announcement
26:33
at seven to eleven. I'm telling you like a man I said earlier,
26:37
Really it's the prize that's the most exciting thing. You want to hear it
26:41
at seven to eleven. I love discovering new music. Literally listen all day
26:45
for the contest for listening Facebook listening all day at work. That's what I
26:53
meant. He is my favorite. I love Pink. Didn't we watch her
27:00
together with the last time she was at the farm? First time and then
27:04
if she came again right after I had Sid and my in laws we all
27:08
want to It was one of the best concerts I've ever Literally doesn't matter what
27:12
kind of music you're knew, you will enjoy this show. It's just incredible.
27:17
You he heard about her like acrobatics and whatnot. It's just so fun.
27:19
And she got so many hits. I mean there was literally hit she
27:22
didn't play because she's got so many. But we have your chance to see
27:25
her in the third row. What what are you look at? I was
27:29
just waiting because I'm ready to Facebook live. But what do you have to
27:33
do? It's called Pike, the town for Pink. You're okay. If
27:37
you're on Facebook Live, you can see these big, giant Pike cardboard heads
27:41
fit. They are these huge heads. So you have to show Pike around
27:44
town. So the idea is that I'm I'm new to town again, right,
27:48
I just moved back after three years away. So there's a lot of
27:51
new things here. There's a lot of new places, new restaurants, new
27:52
bars, things. I need to be able to be sort of reacquainted with
27:56
the city. So your job is going to be to take these giants cardboard
28:00
cutouts of my what I'm now realizing very ugly head. Look at that.
28:04
No, it's nice, I mean you do. It is really nice to
28:08
see. You have got a couple of little graze in your beard. Blonde,
28:12
see them right in here, they're blonde. Anyway, you gotta bring
28:17
me around town. You want to blow up your social media with photos of
28:19
you and this giant cardboard cutout of my head and h We're gonna choose one
28:25
person of the three that have been selected, and they're gonna win third row
28:29
pink tickets. Whoever does the best job of bringing me around town. I
28:32
mean, why wouldn't you imagine this guy just showing up wherever you're at,
28:36
just bam, there's fight here he is. But for third or prink tickets,
28:41
I think these are like over two grand My god, pop, maybe
28:47
it would do things I wouldn't even admit the things I would do to get
28:52
third row pink tickets. But this is nothing compared to those things. So
28:55
all you have to do is go to Big nine eight seven dot com.
28:56
That's where you're gonna enter. We will then select three people after this week
29:00
to be the ones to represent and bring around my giant cardboard head, and
29:03
then from there we'll see who does the best. Ashley, She's live on
29:07
Facebook, she says. Fun fact, last time I saw Pink Pike was
29:11
next to me. Dot dot dot sort of what did I bring her to
29:17
the show? I don't know. I don't know if you know, Ashley,
29:19
Marie, but dot dot dot she was next here. Okay, you're
29:25
maybe in the same section. Uh so all you have to do is go
29:30
to a Big ninety seven dot com. All the details are right there.
29:33
There's also a very uncomfortable photo of me with my head with Pink's body.
29:37
If you've ever thought, well, I wonder what Pike's head on Pink's body
29:41
looks like. There you go out by the way. Everybody welcome you back.
29:45
Everybody has a lot of questions for you. Are we going to talk
29:48
to your mom too? We probably should call her then I'm here. Yeah,
29:52
I thought would surprise her. No, she knows mother estate was yesterday.
29:56
No, I'm so excited to talk to you. Yeah, we will
29:59
call her. According to Amanda, and we'll get into this. But I
30:02

30:07
so gross. All right, what come on now, we'll talk more about
30:11
that. But Pike the Town for Pink your chance to win Pink third row
30:14
tickets. Get more info at Big nine eight seven dot com. I love
30:19
it loud. It makes me feel so good. I love the station.
30:25
A lot of people were having questions on our social media. You know,
30:27
we've been talking about this new show for like a good month now, and
30:30
so we've seen a lot on social media. Last night we posted like and
30:33
ask me anything like you might te on Reddit questions for for me. So,
30:38
Amanda, I know you have a few there that you want to fire
30:41
off, So feel free, all right. We have somebody who said,
30:45
did you decide to come back since Jesse left? That was Brittany. I
30:49
love it's it's its own little soap oper this radio station. No, absolutely
30:53
not. I would love if Jesse was here. I love I love that.
30:56
Man. No, we have a we've had a lot of good time,
31:00
and you know, it just worked out where obviously you know, if
31:03
I was going to come back, it would be for this specific role,
31:04
not to uh just come here and get shot with tasers again. Right,
31:07
it's a fun time. Yeah, I mean listen some of the best times
31:11
we're getting shot with tasers and paintball guns. And yeah, you're wearing more
31:15
clothes today than normal. I'm used to you just run around a nospedo or
31:19
the sax Man outfit. I mean, you guys have seen more of me
31:22
than you probably inner thigh though, That's right, So I forgot about that.
31:29
That was the smoothest these thighs that ramble pouring wax hot wax all over
31:34
was really special. No, no, Jess, I love him and it
31:40
had nothing to do with it. I'm not coming back until that guy's gone.
31:42
No, nothing like that. Yeah, it was weird how it all
31:45
ended up working out, and a lot of people are wondering that as well.
31:48
We have Cheyenne, she says, or Shana. Excuse me, she
31:53
says. How did the conversation really go when you were asked to come back?
31:56
Well, I mentioned it earlier, but you called me and I knew
32:00
Jesse was leaving. I was down in Florida doing radio thing down there,
32:02
and Amanda called me and she was you were just basically sharing like updates on
32:06
how it was going, and you mentioned that, oh, your name was
32:07
brought up, but you know, I'm not even gonna not even gonna bother.
32:12
And then eventually you bothered others aggressive by depleted free golf. Whatever I
32:17
needed to do to get you back here. We did get the free golf.
32:21
Thank you for that. It was just it was there was a lot
32:22
of things. It was a lot of weighing, you know, different factors,
32:27
and there's like a million of them, and so the scale would tip
32:29
one way the one day, and then the next day you would go the
32:30
other way. And eventually, uh, Lauren did get on board. My
32:35
wife, she loves Florida, but she loves it here too, And we
32:37
have a lot of people we care about here and a lot of people wonder
32:40
you know, like, um, how could you leave the weather? Well?
32:45
People matter a lot. Yeah, Alyssa was actually questioning that about the
32:50
weather the palm trees, like hard to leave that? Oh yeah, she's
32:54
the one I want to know, Like, what's like comparing living somewhere beautiful
32:59
but without people well, you know, correct, versus living somewhere that does
33:01
get winter a fairly long one. I'm told this year was worse than it
33:07
was brutal. Yeah, there was nothing like calling you and being like,
33:09
yeah, it's just great. Everything is great here. It's not you know,
33:14
really really really bad out. Yeah. I did it for thirty years
33:16
not worried about the winter, and you just do it. We're resilient people.
33:20
You just get through it, right. And Florida is a take it
33:22
away, an airline, take it away and you can be back. They're
33:23
soaking up the sunshine anytime. We do have some more questions, but we
33:29
also have somebody here on the line seven one two eight ninety eight seven if
33:31
you do want to chime in or welcome Pike back. A good morning.
33:35
Who is this? Good morning? This is Keely calling. Well Hi Keiley,
33:39
Keely? Hello, Hi. I just wanted to welcome you back,
33:43
and I look forward to seeing sax Man throughout this summer. Thank you,
33:47
Keily, I appreciate it. The people were wondering about the sacks man.
33:51
I don't actually own a saxophone. I know you probably thought I was just
33:53
down and floida practicing for three years, but just beach saxophone in a way
33:59
saxon it up. No, I'll have to find a saxophone. I'm not
34:01
opposed, you know, doing the Sacks thing if you guys want it.
34:04
I mean, do you really enjoy me dressing up in this neon green skimpy
34:07
outfit and grinding on random women in offices? Is that something people want?
34:13
Well, you're married, no, so we probably leased to ask Lauren if
34:15
it's okay you will X say on the grinding, maybe just the really bad
34:20
sacks and just the spontaneousness of it. I like, yah, Yeah,
34:23
let's see what we can do. Welcome back, it's here, familiar voice
34:27
on the radio again. Thank you, Keely, it's good to be back.
34:30
Bye bye bye. That's awesome. I think everybody feels that way.
34:34
Lys forever. She'll be our first caller on piking Amanda in the morning.
34:37
Yeah, any other burning questions, Yeah, Shila wants to know Oreo or
34:43
chips. Ahoy, that is the question. It's an obvious answer, is
34:46
it not Oreo? Yes? Thank you? Okay, So I don't wait
34:52
to crispy. This is not even good. I don't mind the chewy ones,
34:57
I guess, but this is about you in your knee Areo. It's
35:00
like a goat cookie. I mean really other than like Subways cookies. That's
35:02
probably best. Oh yeah, and one more really quick. We have Barbara
35:07
saying how did you golf? Oh? Thank you Barbara for asking my round
35:13
yesterday Rose Creek. It was not good. Tripled the first hole, wanted
35:15
to quit, never wanted to play golf again. So now is a time
35:19
for me to get my husband playing golf with you so we can get some
35:21
money off you. I think he still owes him. Your husband likes to
35:24
think I owe him, but I feel like that's been exaggerated over the years,
35:30
but now it's about right. Yeah, I get him if you don't
35:31
mine. I know yesterday, I'm starting to feel like Lauren and I are
35:35
not going to love the two of you this summer like we normally do every
35:37
day. With the amount of golf you guys are going to be playing.
35:40
Listen, you're really going to become a thorn in my side with my husband.
35:45
Yeah, you can handle those kids, right, of course I can't.
35:47
Great mom over here, I got it, No big deal what I've
35:51
seen. Yeah, Friday night of the Force, they were very well behaved.
35:54
Yeah, yeah, you don't got it. Yeah. In intern Gracie's
36:00
I go to babysitter. Oh really, Yeah, how's that been going?
36:02
So good? I love them? Do they behave all the time? Yeah?
36:06
And they suckered me in the first day to do bathtime, So now
36:09
we are Do you had to get in there too? Oh no no,
36:12
but they love bathtime. And I texted Amanda and she goes, they got
36:15
you. They got you at the bathtime, And now every time I come
36:17
over, it's we want to take a bath? What do you mean they
36:21
got you? Are they not supposed you have a rule they're not supposed to
36:22
be taking baths. No, I just I don't feel like that's a babysitter's
36:27
job to have to like give my kids a bath. And so I mean,
36:30
yeah, they I feel like they accidentally like spilled Sunday and like,
36:34
oh god, they love bathtime, like you know, rubber duckies and stuff
36:37
bubbles. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, just great. Well maybe I'll
36:40
come over for bath. Today's variety Big Nutty eight point seven. Well,
36:49
my mom worked, you know, she had worked a long day at uh
36:52
I think where she worked the dollar store in Dilworth or okay, other by
36:54
Walmart, So she was unavailable unfortunately, so I had to go golf.
37:00
So going for the team, you poor thing. I will say though,
37:01
Saturday we did a little early, Like I got into town Friday night.
37:05
Saturday, we went to the uh what's a nice restaurant over there in West
37:07
Farga China King all you can eat Chinese buffet? Who did not? We
37:14
did? That's where you went. That's where we went. For mother's name
37:16
Lauren, and I treated her into a little all you can She's a big
37:21
fan of Chinese food as well, is anyone not literally never it's literally the
37:24
best thing that there is. See, I like it, but I like
37:28
it like more delivery kind of thing. I'm not really the buffet kind of
37:30
curry. It's not const effective for me because you've seen how I loaded my
37:32
plates up. Yeah, for you, but for your mom? Did they
37:37
have like a special Mother's Day? Did they add more crab legs or something
37:39
to make it like have see these buffets, they're skimping now. They don't
37:44
always have the krab legs. I feel like that's the thing of the past.
37:46
Okay, yeah, but so no, they didn't have krab legs,
37:49
but they did have our household favorites like peanut butter chicken, General to Sal's
37:52
chicken, broccoli, beef broccoli, beef white rice. I mean you name
37:58
it. Wow, I don't know what I'm getting for lunch now. Oh
38:00
yeah, you want to go? We could have a work meeting. Yeah,
38:05
you guys really need to probably get to know. I did just meet
38:07
you in turn, Grace, that is true? Yeah, would you do?
38:09
You don't think it's a sufficient Mother's Day? No, not even a
38:12
little bit. We know, you know. Okay, says a girl whose
38:16

you know, okay, let's just call my mom. Yeah. I know

be. He took thirty two years. But Mom, can we actually talk
39:14
about when I came back because I got here Friday and then we're having a
39:17
little bit of a discussion about our Mother's Day celebration, and right Amanda seems
39:22
to think that a Chinese buffet is not a very caliber It's not a sufficient
39:28
Mother's Day lunch. He's not like the other two. He's not like the
39:32
other in one way. Tell me more about that. He's awesome, but
39:37

Amanda. It's good to be back. And a lot of people are wanting
43:58
to reach out, you know, whether it's tell me how upset they are
44:00
that I'm back or whatever you want. I've been a lot of that,

night, just holding it in. Oh my gosh, not move. I'm
44:52
assuming this is Michelle Jennison, longtime listener. Yes, good morning. I'm
44:57
so glad you guys are back together. Like. I haven't missed your Pike
45:00
like you would manager. I'm so excited. But can I get sacked?
45:06
Because you were ready for this to me once? I could have won a
45:08
thousand dollars. But it so I hear you're sacked. Let me make sure
45:13
I heard the right. You want to get sacked? Yeah, she wants
45:15
to get sacks man. Yeah, because she actually was about to win big
45:20
money on the Big Money Board last week she got the old whammy from Pike.
45:23
Oh yeah, yeah, I think that would be a nice consolation.
45:28
I mean, a thousand dollars is cool, but getting saxed arguably one of
45:32
the greatest prizes. Riceless. Michelle was an og when Amanda started. We
45:38
did this morning. So what are like in two thousand and eleven, we
45:40
said, or whatever, And Michelle remember right away she was like big fan
45:45

45:47
afficient in forever and it's her birthday to day. Happy birthday, Michelle,
45:53
Thank you guys. I will answer that honestly. I am proud that I
46:00
have made it. I love it. All right, Michelle, We'll have
46:07
a great birthday, buddy. What a great little surprise. I love to
46:10
hear from people like Michelle. You've been getting that all weekend. We went
46:15
to the Fargo Fource game on Friday night and it's like you never left.
46:17
I will say, Yeah, it was crazy. I mean I'll walk in
46:21
in there. I felt like James Dean. I mean, let me tell
46:23
you, I don't even know who that is. Yeah, I was like,
46:27
what's the James Like, let me think of the oldest person I think
46:29
of. No, it was cool, like a lot of people were saying
46:30
welcome back. Oh you made it, you made it. I think a
46:32
lot of people surprised I did actually physically make it. After the U haul
46:36
kerfuffle. And then we were having Chinese Saturday. I'm sending there, scooping
46:39
up my broccoli beef, and I hear welcome back is some guy I wanted
46:44
to welcome me back, hometown hero back amongst us. Then he took the
46:47
last scoop of a snow shrimp, and I've not forgiven him. I'm sorry,
46:51
snow shrimp. Oh man, a snow shrimp. You haven't had it.
46:53
You're going to the wrong buffets. Yeah, I'm not a big buffet
46:57
girl. I guess, Oh, you're not usually good or what I want,
47:00
and I send it. Yeah, talk down on buffets. No,
47:02
nothing wrong with it. I just she's being a judge around the buffets.
47:06
I'm not a little judge. Is this gonna work? After all this
