5 things to avoid saying on a second date · Podcast - Big 98.7

0:00
Oh yeah, Amanda's back. Thanks for coming in this morning. I thought
0:02
i'd put in a couple of days this way. It might be your last
0:09
based on what I'm hearing now. Listen, it's no longer a matter of
0:13
if there are extraterrestrial out there. It's not a matter of when they'll be
0:18
visiting, because they already have this. According to yesterday on the House floor
0:24
of the United States Government, Amanda, there have any hearing about UFOs or
0:29
formerly UFOs. We're now calling them you APAs. I'm sorry, you APAs,
0:34
which stands for a unidentified an anomalous phenomena. Yeah, you APAs.
0:40
Why why are we changing the name? They've been UFOs forever? What they
0:45
just wanted to freshen it up? Okay, up the name. I thinking
0:48
like, okay, we sound ridiculous if we're talking about UFOs and aliens.
0:51
But if we call them uapas, maybe they can get some headway. It's
0:56
a little more official. So yesterday on the housebloard, there's a former Air
1:00
Force intelligence officer who's talking to a committee about what the US government knows about
1:07
some formerly UFOs. Like in two thousand and four, there was a video
1:11
that serviced not long ago of a UFO flying off the coast of San Diego
1:17
that four Navy officers saw witnessed. I kind of remember that they get flew
1:22
past them so fast that they were all going, hang on, did we
1:23
all just see that? They said it descended approximately eighty thousand feet in a
1:29
second. Okay, eighty thousand feet, Amanda. Now here is the whistleblower
1:34
they're calling him. His name is David Grush. Mister Gresh. Finally,
1:38
do you believe that our government is in possession of UAPs? Absolutely based on
1:41
interviewing over forty witnesses over four years. Okay, so he says, we
1:46
have retrieved a UAP. Now in regards to who is flying that UAP,
1:49
Amanda, are you ready for this? I don't know if I am in
1:53
turn grazy like strap up, because this is chilling. If you believe we
1:56
have crashed craft stated earlier, do we have the bodies of the pilots who
2:00
piloted this craft? As I've stated publicly already in my new station. Interview
2:05
of biologics came with some of these recoveries. Yeah, were they I guess
2:08
human or non human? Biologics? Non human? And that was the assessment
2:13
of people which recknowledge on the program I talked to that are currently still on
2:16
the program. Get out of here. So like aliens non human biologics otherwise
2:23
known as aliens. Okay, he says, we've retrieved them in the government
2:30
is trying to shut him up. That's why he's the whistle blower. How
2:32
all the crazy people are going to go to Area fifty one? Now remember
2:36
how how long ago was that? Yeah, they were going to try to
2:40
get in there. We all thought that after they were wackos. Turns out
2:44
they're not. He went on to say that we have nothing that can stop
2:47
in midair and go the other direction. Nor do we have anything that can,
2:51
like in our situation, come down from space, hangout for three hours
2:53
and go back up. Nothing like it, not human blown anyway. Are
2:59
you ready for what might happen here? I've known about it. I am
3:05
one. I wouldn't be surprised. Do you rip your face off and reveal
3:09
a big green one like in a minute in the morning, Big nutty eight
3:13
point seven, Time for another round of our hypothetical situation game brutal situations we
3:20
found ourselves in abithetically it's called what do you do Are you ready? What
3:23
do you do? Man? Cracking myself up over here? You literally have
3:28
been just laughing yourself. I'm like, what are you doing? Are you
3:30
insane? I know you were gone for a week, but have you lost
3:32
it now? You said you's got some funny hypotheticals, So play along within
3:37
your car if you want to call in or text in, let us know
3:38
what you would do. Seven one two eight eight seven, Amanda, go
3:43
ahead, you miraculously get good at golf. Shut up? Yeah, not
3:47
what you were laughing about the whole time, that zinger. Nope, you
3:51
qualify for the Masters, obviously, it's a pretty big deal. End up
3:55
making it to the final round. It's you Mackleroy Tiger Woods. And is
4:02
it HOGI or hog Tom Hogi? Yeah, Bargo legend, yep, yeah,
4:06
okay, but it's Tiger's last match ever, never gonna golf again,
4:14
and this is final, never gonna do it again. He is done.
4:16
You got him by a point. Do a little research before you give me
4:21
a golf situation. All right, I'm up. I'm up a stroke or
4:25
stroke? Alright, full stroke? Both balls on the green, and uh
4:33
Tiger's balls are on the green? Yep, both of them, and you
4:36
know you can make the putt and you can win it all because it's only
4:43
three feet three foot putt. You got this, But Tiger it gives you
4:47
a look like, boy boy, you better not make this. This is
4:53
his last moment to shine ever ever. Tiger Woods the guy I know him
4:58
so Pike. I mean, he gave you the look. He's threatening me.
5:04
He's looking at you seeing that. What do you do. I'm putting
5:10
that baby in the bottom of the cup. Wow, you don't even wager.
5:15
Give you like a payout. He'd be like, hey, dude,
5:16
I'm getting to payout for winning. No. I know. I love to
5:20
listen. Tiger's the goat, but no, I couldn't do it. Where's
5:23
Tom by the way, Fargo South graduate Tom Hoky? Is he on the
5:26
other side of the green? Yeah, he's on the other side now.
5:28
He just you're beating him for sure, Okay, yeah, because you are
5:30
so good at golf, because I have that all right. Well, interesting,
5:34
Amanda, your friend Daffodil invites you to we Fest. She's got you
5:43
a free VIP ticket along with a very special Morgan wall In VIP experience where
5:49
you and a friend get to make a chicken salad with Morgan. He's big
5:55
into cooking. Yeah, do you only catch she's pitching a tent in the
6:00
Viking campground and you've got to sleep in there with her? Otherwise you don't
6:03
get the tickets. Didn't they close that one down? Isn't that? I
6:09
don't know, it's pretend didn't. You're next to a rowdy frat boy camper
6:15
and da, they're not sleeping, and Daffodil's in your tent with you.
6:18
But I get to whip up a chicken salad with Morgan. There's that.
6:23
And then also you got tickets, VIP tickets. Yeah, I'm gonna have
6:26
to get nasty for the night. I'm gonna have to sleep in the tent
6:29
over her in Viking. Okay, how a nasty? Well, you're gonna
6:33
try to go to battery. You're just gonna embrace the situation. I'm gonna
6:35
try to sleep. Yep. We try to snuggle up and sleep in Viking.
6:41
You'd be playing beer pong with some Concordia kid named Brenneran within minutes totally.
6:46
I would be yep, and then I'd be passed out in probably seven
6:50
minutes. Oh, gosh, okay, all right, Pike. You go
6:54
to Arby's, you leave before you open the bag, so once you look
6:58
inside, you realize, amateur, move, this is not my order.
7:02
But it's a beg full of food. I'm we're talking food. You could
7:06
live off in this big bag of food for three days. Well, curly
7:10
fries have about eight minutes of shelf life. I don't know about that.
7:14
But it's not what you ordered. It's not what you ordered at all,
7:18
okay, but food for three days, Pike, Oh, this is easy.
7:25
Really. It's more than I ordered, yeah, but not what you
7:30
ordered. What do you do? Well? I eat that entire bag,
7:34
and then I called the restaurant and say, hey, you messed up my
7:36
order. And then I go back and get what I originally ordered, and
7:40
then I eat that too. You don't just circle right back around and go,
7:44
oh man, messed up. No. By the way, when they
7:46
mess up your order, don't ever give them the food back. I hate
7:49
that. It's like, dooh wo, We'll take that. I'm like,
7:51
no, you're not. What are you gonna do with it? Throw it
7:54
away? You're not gonna give it to somebody else. I bet they do
7:56
give it to something, don't you can went to spend in my car?
7:59
I would ask yeah, because there'd be some legal issues. Now that's when
8:01
you do the older you like you open it up and you kind of like
8:03
open the bund or whatever you see, like see it's not mine, and
8:07
then you lick it you They can't give it to it now. So you're
8:09
the guy at a restaurant when they're eating you're, oh, this was terrible,
8:13
there was something in it, but you make sure you got everything pretty
8:16
much eight before you tell them absolutely yeah, yeah, you have one bite
8:18
left, like, hey, this was this was the wrong thing. I
8:22
know, I ate it all, but can I get the other thing?
8:24
Oh? Man? I said, And it don't even feel bad. Like
8:26
when I worked at Army's for two years at East ten and Moorehead, if
8:28
you came in and were completely I just did not want to hear it.
8:31
The second you started to say you mess this, I'm like, all right,
8:33
fine, what do you want? Just name it, name your price,
8:35
I'll give it to you anyway, anything for that. All right.
8:41
I'm Mandy. You're a train conductor. Choo choo, got it? Yep.
8:46
You used to have a cute hat that was like that back in the
8:48
day beyond. In the distance lies your niece playing on the tracks. Oh
8:54
gosh, you're going too fast and the brake lines have failed complete leatly.
9:00
However, good grief, there just sepps to be an alternate track. But
9:05
there are seven baby panda bears on said alternative track, seven of only nine
9:13
remaining on the planet Earth, and the other two are males. So they're
9:20
staring at you in the eyes, little beady endangered eyes. I'm sorry,
9:24
and my niece and your niece is playing in the other tracks, so both
9:26
very close in proximity, and you've got just enough time whether to pull the
9:31
lever and switch tracks or to continue going straight. So, Amanda, yes,
9:39
we were all having fun. I've got three of them. I'll pick
9:41
your least favorite. Goodbye panda bears. God is your niece's name in the
9:50
morning? Ready he is today? Nom Amanda stills. Let's see see all
10:03
right, you're gonna have to fill me in what happened in the last week
10:07
with Ariana Grande. Oh it's juicy. We had some rumors that she was
10:11
not with her man, and then all of a sudden, I see this
10:13
guy who she was maybe conodling with on the set of Wicked. Filed for
10:16
divorce yesterday. Yeah, but they weren't. They weren't really together. They
10:20
had all separated before, is what I've heard. I don't believe that for
10:24
a second. Oh, it turns out they'd been hanging out, the three
10:26
of them him, this what ethan slater? Who have you looked at it?
10:30
That we've mostly been focusing on how ugly he is? Yeah, let
10:33
me give him a peak, because I do not have a picture of him
10:35
in my mind yet. I can't wait to see and hear your instant reaction
10:37
because later, Yeah, yeah, you know ariana grandy, pretty good looking
10:41
gal. Yeah, very bad, beautiful, beautiful. Wow, this must
10:43
be a hot thing to it doesn't want to come up. It's not because
10:46
everyone's googling it. Yeah, barely him and now what will be his ex
10:50
wife? And then Oriana? We're like hanging out as a as a throuble,
10:54
not a throuble, not an actual throuble, but like, you know,
10:56
a little she was third wheel in it, and you know it's yeah,
11:00
one of those things you look back and it's like, remember that time
11:01
I told you I was concerned about your relationship oh my gosh. Yeah,
11:07
not somebody you think she would be with. Not real. This is I
11:13
know, I feel bad. So there's also remember she was with Pete Davidson
11:16
and that's always been a weird thing for Yea, she has an ugly man
11:20
fetish. Yeah, you guys, this is bizarre. I mean, this
11:24
is a guy that you would Yeah what did Pike say? He said he's
11:30
a guy you'd school. I went to four guys in high school I looked
11:33
just like that, and they got made fun of sadly, which is not
11:37
okay. This is the saddest thing I've ever seen, because I mean,
11:39
oh, come on, man. Mainly though, because Ethan looks like a
11:43
guy who went to school with class of two thousand and three. Wodina,
11:46
dear Creed. I passed him in the hall every day, and you're now
11:48
breaking up marriages? What is going on? And shame on Ariana Grande.
11:52
Yeah, it doesn't matter what he looks like. That said, there's better
11:56
looking people at the holiday on thirty second Avenue currently no offense, just too
12:03
bad. Kind of Hopefully her axe with Dalton Gomez and then this guy's axe,
12:07
hopefully they get together. That'd be fun, like a little wife swap.
12:11
Yeah, just like heartbreaking snat O'Connor. She died yesterday. She was
12:18
fifty six years old, and I think we all kind of thought, wow,
12:20
I know I was one of them going. I honestly thought she had
12:24
passed away, just because she's had so many mental health struggles. She's had
12:26
so many personal tragedies. I mean, she's publicly said she was going to
12:31
kill herself multiple times, and it's just so heartbreaking. She really really struggled
12:35
though. After her seventeen year old son Shane, killed himself in January twenty
12:39
twenty two. Her last post on social media basically just said that he was
12:41
the only person who ever loved me unconditionally. Sad. Yeah, she just
12:46
could not get past that I was reading. You know, I didn't really
12:50
know about the time on SNL in the nineties when she ripped up the photo
12:54
of the pope. Yeah, that was kind of a big deal. I
12:56
guess. Yeah, if you're a big pope person, well, I think
13:00
most people are pretty pope people. Are you raise a hands, I'll give
13:05
you a double hand. Any pope people bid you name the current pope?
13:11
Yep, he was just in the hospital. Yep. I'm not gonna tell
13:16
you, but it's Pope. Francis isn't to tell her Francis, of course
13:22
it was Francis. Hey, you guys are gonna need to fill me in
13:26
s. So what is going on with Ariana Grande and this guy Ethan?
13:31
Ethan looks like a guy who went into school with class of two thousand and
13:33
three, Windina, dear Creed. I passed him in the hall every day,
13:37
and you're now breaking up marriages? What is going on? And shame
13:41
on Ariana Grande? Yeah, well, I mean it doesn't matter what he
13:45
looks like. That said, there's better looking people at the holiday on thirty
13:48
second Abe currently no offense. I just I am trying to wrap my head
13:54
around how he filed for divorce just yesterday. He's about to have a one
13:58
year old kid with his wife, Lily might get this all right, And
14:01
they just met on the set of a movie and Pam, it's done just
14:03
like that. I mean he'd been with his Lily, this act of his
14:07
now for ten plus years. I mean obviously he I think he was just
14:09
ready to move on one way or the other. And well he had an
14:13
opportunity to horse around with Ariana Grande. He just couldn't resist. Yeah,
14:16
I just I don't know. I'm not liking it for Ariana Grande. What's
14:20
your favorite thing Ariana Grande ever did? For sure, Davidson on the map
14:26
because nobody knew who he was. You like that. Let's just still it's
14:30
just all very bizarre to me. And it's sad because there is a kid
14:31
involved. You're ruining marriages. Yeah, and let's be honest with her track
14:35
record, is this really gonna last? You think her and Ethan are going
14:39
to be the next Hollywood couple? Come on? No? And this shocked
14:45
me. Kevin Spacey was found not guilty on all nine charges against him in
14:48
his sexual assault trial and Lendon yesterday. Coincidentally, it was his sixty fourth
14:52
birthday as well. I guess a jury deliberated for twelve hours. Following the
14:56
verdict, he wiped tears from his eyes. He looked at them and he
14:58
said thank you. He also hugged his manager, a legal team we're also
15:01
finding out, he told reporters outside of the courtroom. He's humbled and grateful.
15:05
Where do you guys do with this? I there's still just so much
15:09
you involved in this. I know he has not been charged ever with any
15:13
of it. For me, I found him guilty in my in my opinion,
15:18
when all of a sudden there was what felt like a pay day and
15:22
then somebody's phone disappeared. People's phones just don't disappear when they have actual information
15:26
on it. No. No, there's been a lot of shady things,
15:30
and there's enough out there, like what nine accusations here, there's more over
15:33
in the US. It's it's like, yeah, was he not guilty in
15:35
the court of lot, Sure, because there wasn't enough to prove it.
15:39
But is he guilty in the court of public opinion? Probably just you guilty
15:45
his charge? Yeah, with to being a bad guy in the morning.
15:52
You suspect a thing? When are you that a phone fiend? Fucking enough
16:00
this listen fice friend arrested. Guys aren't getting tired of that song yet,
16:08
are you? No? I mean, honestly, I have it as a
16:11
ringtone. Is that the whole thing? Well, I haven't been around for
16:14
twenty years, but this sentiment is still noted Anyway. This guy, he's
16:18
getting cabinets installed in his house and he's real worried about getting them done in
16:22
time for this party he's having. So his friend named Adam hit us up
16:26
and he's like, hey, I know you guys do those prank calls,
16:30
so maybe you could frank call my friend. So here we go. Hello,
16:38
Yeah, hey there this Alex, owner of the house over there on
16:41
a fourteenth Avenue. Yeah, yeah, this hey Alex. My name is
16:45
Tim. You can call me Tim the Toolman Johnson. I'm the cabinet installer
16:52
here over at didn't you guys hired us to put the cabinets in your kitchen?
16:56
Right? All right, timmums, how's isolation going? Well? Alex,
17:00
Well, it's a little embarrassing, but you see, might have made
17:02
a small mistake during the installation process of your cabinets. What happened is something
17:07
break at the wall? Come, oh no, no, everything's fine.
17:10
You see, but we recently had just got this hot new line of scented
17:14
cabinets. It's one of the biggest new trends in kitchen stuff. Anyway,
17:19
I think what happened here is I might have accidentally installed our new cheese scented
17:25
cabinets into your kitchen. Wait, I'm sorry, did you did you say
17:30
chiefe scented cabinets? Are you serious. I mean, I know it sounds
17:33
ridiculous, but it was an honest mix up. Long story short, what
17:37
we're gonna have to do is basically just rip out the cheese cabinets and put
17:41
in some new ones. Wait, so you're serious about this whole thing.
17:45
So you put cheese scented cabinets on my wall. It was a mistake,
17:51
Like I said, I mean, who who would ever want that cheese cabinets?
17:56
Yeah? Well, actually they're very, very in demand, flying off
18:00
the shelves literally. I understand your frustration, you're, Alex, But my
18:03
plan, like I told you, I'm gonna get these replaced as soon as
18:06
possible. Promise, I'm gonna take care of it. All right, you're
18:08
gonna replace that, But you know it's not gonna cost me extra. That's
18:11
that's on you. That's your don't be ridiculous. No, of course,
18:15
it's gonna be free at charge. Get those regular smelling cabinets right in there
18:18
as soon as possible. We'll see if we can't get that done here in
18:22
the next couple of weeks, In the next couple No, no, no,
18:25
you need to remove those asat I Alex, I hear you. That
18:30
is however, gonna be pretty tough. Obviously, we're gonna have to order
18:32
the new cabinets. I mean, maybe you just want to come by and
18:34
give these babies a sniff. You know, I'm gonna I'm crazy, but
18:37
you might like them. Listen, I'm not gonna sit here and argue with
18:41
you about a mistake that you made. All right, I don't want stupid
18:44
cheese cabinets on my wall. May come on, I mean they're mozzarella.
18:47
At that does anything for you? No, Jesus God, I don't.
18:52
I don't want any of that. Okay, you'll fix it. As nobody
18:57
talks to Tim the tool and Johnson like this. And besides, Alex,
19:02
it's a joke anyway. Wait, look, it's a joke anyway. Are
19:10
you You did not believe there's a cheap she sent in cabinets, Alex,
19:14
Jesus boy, you got me. We'll play, We'll play. I was,
19:19
I was, I was, I was, Alex. I'm sorry.
19:23
I'm sorry if I got a little too animated, a little aggressive. I
19:27
won't tell anybody yet, but listen, it's Pike and Amanda in the morning
19:30
had pig ninety at point seven. Unfortunately, my man You've been a victim
19:33
of Pike's prying. Sorry about that, you know, at some point,
19:37
I just don't know how, but I will get you back. Oh that
19:44
is a creepy thing to say. Oh god, I'm gonna pretend I didn't
19:48
hear that coming for I don't blame me. You can't blame me because it
19:52
was your friend Adam. He was the one that hit us up. He
19:55
said, he've been stressed about getting these cabinets done, hoping it was done
19:59
before that party or whatever. Yeah, we're just the middleman, so you
20:00
can't be mad at us. Oh my god, he's gonna get it,
20:07
like in a minute in the morning. On Big Nutty eight point seven.
20:14
I want to warn you because I found a list of things you should never
20:17
ever say on a second date. Okay, number five on the things you
20:21
should never say on a second date? Do you like me? Oh gosh,
20:23
of course it's on your mind, especially you know, if you think
20:26
you might be liking him, but not a thing you should be asking.
20:30
Okay, it's a totally normal thing to feel, but you got to be
20:33
able to just resist the urge. Well, and then there's also this thing
20:36
where they're hanging out with you a second time, they like you don't go
20:41
do you really like me? How much do you like? Man? That's
20:45
definitely something I would do it totally is Yeah. How about this one?
20:48
Where do you see yourself in ten years? Not a thing you should be
20:52
asking on the second date. It is, after all, a date,
20:55
not a job interview. I feel like, I guess it depends on your
20:59
age and where you're we're at in life. By the first date, I
21:00
think I need to know where you at in five years? What's your goal
21:03
here? Do you want kids? Do you want dogs? Where you at?
21:07
I mean, what do you have cats? Because I'm allergic? I
21:11
mean I need to know up front of the details. Then number three on
21:15
the things you should not ask on a second date or a first date,
21:18
don't ask them. How many people they don't ask them what their number is?
21:22
Yeah? Or ever? Really you don't think I ever should be addressed?
21:26
Nah? I think you just kind of get it, you know what
21:30
I mean. I don't know at a certain age maybe, but I remember
21:33
when I was a young young man and I was single for a moment,
21:34
and that was like a thing. I was like, you know, because
21:37
not far out of high school, so it could be zero. And what
21:41
I found out at certain point I was shocked, right, I didn't know
21:45
numbers wed that high, and I was like, I think I'm going to
21:48
stop asking this question. Yeah, if there's that, but it is very
21:51
important, especially if somebody is holding out for it. And yeah, more
21:55
props too yet great, but yeah, you don't want to be think oh,
21:59
okay, but like if you're dating in your thirties or whatever, it's
22:02
like, does it matter? You know? No, you know it's probably
22:04
not zero. If you know a few things about their patch, you're like,
22:07
I got the gist of it. We're good. Oh, I need
22:11
to know. Number two on things you should never say in a second date.
22:15
I love babies, because who doesn't love babies. They're sensational. However,
22:22
it's just a little much for a second date. Did you just say
22:23
sensational bababies? I would say, have you ever met a non sensational baby?
22:30
I say I wasn't. I'm not a big fan of babies, believe
22:32
it or not. Oh interesting for somebody who has had to baby. No,
22:34
but I didn't love the baby stage. Like, if there's somebody there,
22:37
it's like, oh that's a cute. Oh, nicest little baby.
22:40
I'm not holding your baby next time I see Sydney. Guess what I'm telling
22:42
the Sydney. I need to tell you your mom did not love you as
22:47
a baby. That's not true. I loved him, there were mine,
22:48
but I wasn't like Oh, I wasn't sad when we got out of the
22:52
baby stage. What are you most excited for? What age? We've got
22:56
it pretty good right now? Born too. Well, maybe Briggs could grow
23:00
up a little bit more once, maybe next summer. Well two is tough
23:03
because they still aren't exactly able to communicate everything. Yeah, Briggs is three,
23:07
but he's still struggling? Is he three? Wait? No, he
23:08
used to. I know your kids better than you, dude. I know
23:11
that boys two years old. I'm planning his third birthday. That's where I'm
23:15
struggling. Oh got you. I'm scared for Sydney's teenage years. Oh she's
23:18
already h that comes to her sass? Yeah, good luck? Hopefully do
23:22
like she ages. Just I had a schedule and buy her teenagers. She's
23:26
acting like she's fifty an old. Sell and Mary Kay now number one of
23:30
them from her A little pink car. Hey, if they're giving up the
23:36
pink car. She can sell Mary Kay all day long. Things you should
23:40
never see in a secondade. The number one thing is what are your parents
23:42
like? Now you think you're making small talk, he hears you planning a
23:48
wedding, so chill. Yeah, that is a little aggressive. Yeah,
23:51
kind of even just asking about the family in general, you're supposed to saying,
23:55
I don't know, that sounds horrifying, Like I can't imagine dating.
23:57
I really can't. Makes brutal out there, Pike in a minute in the
24:03
morning on dat point seven, it's today's rany big ninety eight point seven Pike
24:10
and a Mandy in the morning. Dude. Yeah, Thursday, which is
24:14
a day away from Friday, got me feeling like, yes, this week
24:18
flew by for me, it's just kind of crazy, or one day work
24:21
would be flying by. A huge fan of this, uh this kind of
24:25
schedule. But whether I say, ay, it is going to be hot
24:26
high of about ninety one. But of course there was a reason I was
24:30
gone last week. I think we're getting serious. We are getting kind of
24:33
serious. Uh well, we were just talking about it. I mean,
24:36
just our community in general. It just feels like there's just been a lot
24:37
of stuff going on last week. Wednesday, we had wrapped up giving out
24:41
the blue lightbulbs. Yeah, we had just heard that press conference. It
24:45
was just my heart was really heavy. That was just really a lot,
24:48
It really really was. And you and I were having a conversation just you
24:52
know, stuff going on publicly with obviously the horrible tragedy, and then just
24:56
stuff in our personal lives that we had known that was going on. It
24:57
seemed like there was an in flux of just sad stuff happening. Yeah,
25:02
it was hard to get away from any of that. I got home late
25:06
on Wednesday night, so this was a week ago, and I just wanted
25:08
to be with my kids. Just That's all I wanted to do was give
25:11
my kids a hug. And I started crying because they were all sleeping,
25:15
and I ended up pouring a glass of wine. I know, this is
25:17
a shocker, and went out on the patio with my dog, Vino,
25:19
and she was playing out there and I just kind of sat there for about
25:22
forty five minutes, just taking it all in, kind of unwinding. She
25:26
was out in the yard plane and Thursday came back to work. My dog
25:30
had woken me up about twelve thirty that night to let her out. That's
25:33
pretty usual for her. And then I got a text about six fifteen Thursday
25:37
morning for my husband same Vino has been breathing really hard, very weird because
25:41
she doesn't breathe the bathroom right, Yeah, And I guess when the kids
25:48
had woke up, that's when my husband was a little nervous, like,
25:49
hey, something's not right with her because she didn't get up, and then
25:52
she ended up going to the bathroom on the floor. And so it was
25:57
one of those moments where normally like, Oh, I'll just wait till I
26:00
get home, but for some reason in my heart, I'm like, guys,
26:02
I gotta go. I just need to make sure she's okay. So
26:04
I ended up bringing her into the Red River Animal Clinic and they said she
26:11
had ruptured her spleen and basically we could spend some money and go through a
26:18
procedure, but they didn't think she'd be able to even survive that. If
26:22
she did, they said, she's probably full of cancer and it could be
26:26
two weeks to two months. That's kind of the long story of it all,
26:30
and we had to make one of the toughest decisions. She was like
26:32
my first kid. I remember that's wearing her like her first birthday. My
26:36
god, if you're friends of yours on Facebook, you know before the kids
26:38
came along, that that dog was just the superstar. Yeah, you loved
26:42
her and we loved her too. You brought her into the office a week
26:45
ago, I mean that same week, and she seemed great. She was
26:48
running around, I was pedding her. It was lovely. Yeah. Brought
26:51
her out to the grotto for pups on the patio with the kids. They
26:53
were hanging out eating waffle fries together. So it was very, very shocking
26:57
to our family. Unfortunately, had to the decision and we put her down,
27:00
and that is just not easy. That is Were you in the room,
27:06
Yeah, so oh, I guess one of the hardest things as a
27:08
parent. So I'm there, Nick said home, I had dropped the kids
27:11
off a daycare. We're just kind of sitting there, scrambling, going,
27:15
we don't want to bring the kids into a situation we don't really know about.
27:18
And then when we decided that we were going to put her down,
27:19
it was within forty five minutes and I told Nick, I said, I
27:23
think he need to go get the kids. I know they're only three and
27:26
four years old, but I don't want to not come home with a dog.
27:30
I want them to kind of try to understand and just give them a
27:32
little love. They weren't in there at the time when I actually put her
27:36
down, but yeah, we ended up doing that, so the kids were
27:40
there for it, and then we ended up taking her and burying her out
27:42
at the lake house because my stepdad wasn't able to be here in time and
27:45
he wanted he had a spot already for with a nice view of the lake
27:48
where she loved to be. And it was tough. It was really really
27:52
tough. Well, I know, and when I talked to you that day,
27:53
you were obviously very upset, and yeah, I remember you saying like,
27:56
I know, it's just a dog, but I'm like, no,
28:00
the way it feels physically is the same as if it was a human,
28:03
absolutely, and it's just like I mean, they're a part of your family,
28:07
and you gave her a great life for obviously not long enough, but
28:10
you know, it's just a If you've lost a dog, you know,
28:14
it's horrible. Like my dad, I think I've only seen him cry two
28:17
times in my life, and the first time was when our dog Max,
28:21
after fourteen years, passed away, and then fourteen years later the dog that
28:23
we got after, Missy, after we had to go put her down,
28:26
and that was one of the saddest things I've ever been through, standing there
28:30
in Holly as they put her down and oh my god, like hard to
28:33
even talk about, but I know, and you just it's the little thing.
28:37
Star was like, how are you guys holding up? How are the
28:37
kids. I'm like, you know, the kids are good because they were
28:40
distracted. We hung out at the lake and I already had had a plan
28:42
vacation earlier on in this week. But it's a it's just stupid stuff.
28:47
The kids throw stuff all over the floor and I'm like, okay, if
28:48
you know, came here and I'm like, oh, she's not there,
28:51
and you know, this morning, I'm like, hey, don't forget to
28:55
can't let me know out. I mean, just the things that are in
28:56
your everyday life. So it's going to take a while, but it's just
29:00
it sucks. Yeah, thank you for all the messages. People have been
29:03
so great, and thank you for being back and just holding it was to
29:07
just kind of take a step back also, just after everything that was going
29:11
on. I was like, oh, should I come back to work on
29:12
Monday? I like, no, I need to unplug and chill and get
29:15
away. Absolutely. Now I'm glad you did. But you did have a
29:18
planned vacation this week, so you didn't take a week off. I mean,
29:22
if you want, I mean, listen, if that's what you needed,
29:23
great, But no, Amanda was I didn't even take that long off
29:26
when my mom passed away. I know people were like, gosh, she
29:30
o gay. I'm like normal, I'm good. I just really needed a
29:32
little vacation too. And it's good, you know, to be back and
29:34
back to normal. But yeah, you're right, there's gonna be that empty
29:37
miss feeling in the house and just at the lake for a while. But
29:41
and people are already sending me dogs. They're like, are you guys going
29:42
to get another one? I'm like, okay, chill out, we need
29:45
a break. Yeah eventually, though, it's you know, it's weird not
29:49
having one. Right. Well, we're thinking, you're glad you're back,
29:52
though, thanks for having me back. Time in the morning. Big Nutty
29:57
eight point seven, my name is, My name is? Your name?
30:03
Could get you a lifetime supply of free Subway sandwiches. My name's Amanda.
30:08
Do I get free sub Let me look, No, not one the list.
30:11
In fact, you have to you would have to legally change your name
30:15
to Subway to get a lifetime supply. Oh sub stop Subway. The chain
30:22
is offering this to anyone who legally changes their name between August first and fourth.
30:27
Just got to visit Subway name change dot Com and you can enter to
30:32
win. And you obviously know it's not everyone who does it, because I
30:34
know there's a million yah who's like me who would probably do it. Yeah,
30:38
if it automatically. So you have to just register the chance to change
30:41
your name. Oh that's so, so don't go and do it, you
30:45
know, before before you actually win the contest. As much as I love
30:48
a foot long, I will tell you this, the legality is of going
30:57
through changing your I mean, because you'd have to change your name legally.
31:02
Yeah, so going through the process, the IRS and Social Security. I
31:07
mean, I know I know people who don't even when they get married,
31:08
they don't even change her last name because like my wife, you would have
31:11
thought it was the hardest thing she's ever had to do, was change her
31:14
name over. Yeah, it's ridiculous she did it. Yeah, so I
31:19
don't know. I mean Subway. It's not the cutest name. No,
31:22
I mean, if it was Jimmy Johns, I'm gonna be real Jammy John's
31:26
Lee that would be I'm gonna Jimmy John's Pickles. You go by Jay Jane.
31:32
Oh, you're saying, you're saying you would rather have a lifetime supply
31:34
at Jamie Johns. Correct. Yeah, no, I'm not just going through,
31:37
but probably Jersey. I'd be Jersey girl. That's your favorite sub shop.
31:41
Absolutely, they're also Listen, I love subs. I'm not like a
31:45
snob like some people are, but they're all good. But I love Subway.
31:48
We got one right down the road in twenty fifth Street. I've been
31:49
going there since two thousand and eight, since I've been working in this building,
31:52
pretty much gotten to know like everybody there. When you roll up,
31:56
they're just like, here is this order? The story it is? Start
32:00
getting that chicken bacon ranch ready. But it's I mean, I will say
32:04
free subway would be great because five dollars footlongs are a thing of the very
32:07
distant past. Everything is so expensive, it's crazy. It's like thirteen dollars
32:14
footlongs. Yeah, you like footlongs now in the morning. I'm glad you
32:22
saw this situation, a horrible situation where a young girl lost her mom tragically.
32:27
Right. Yes, it's just been in a matter of weeks. Her
32:29
mom went into the hospital and just all of a sudden and she lost her
32:32
But even before her mom passed away, she's just this little girl who is
32:36
trying to do something good to support her mom, and it's just look,
32:39
it's me and of course we want to help out too. So we have
32:43
the aunt of this young girl we're talking about on the phone. Her name
32:45
is Michaela. Good morning, Michaela. How are you good? How are
32:47
you guys? We're doing all right. You know. I know our community
32:52
has been hurting and there's been a lot of things going on, but we
32:54
wanted to make sure that we did not miss out on an opportunity to talk
32:59
about your amazing niece Kate and what she's doing today. But we also need
33:04
to talk about the reason behind it and just our thoughts and prayers are with
33:07
you, guys. Is just so sad. Tell us what's been going on?
33:08
Yeah, so recently Kate's mom was in the hospital, for an unknown
33:14
illness, and things kind of took a turn fast and she went to the
33:17
ICU, and unfortunately she did pass away on Sunday morning. So Kate decided
33:25
when her mom was sick in the hospital that she wanted to have a bake
33:30
sale because she likes sneaking cookies and she always she just wanted to help out.
33:32
She's nine and she is very active and just fell up the niece that
33:37
she wanted to help her family and she likes the bake cookies with grandma.
33:39
So she thought that she would just have a little bake sale to help out,
33:44
so she could contribute to her family as well. So she decided she
33:47
would still have the bake sale. I mean, the strength of that little
33:52
girl to be able to stay I can't imagine. Wow, that is incredible.
33:54
And first of all, again our thoughts and prayers are with you guys.
33:58
I am so very sorry that you lost her mom. Stephanie. How
34:00
is she holding up? I know she's baking cookie isn't getting ready for this
34:04
event today that we'll talk about in a second. But it's just got to
34:07
be so hard, yes it Yeah, I think everyone's still a little bit
34:10
in shock. And I think preparing for the bake still and getting everything ready
34:14
has kept everyone really busy, and I think it's just the community support has
34:19
been awesome. It was going to be at their house and it turned out
34:22
two big so now it's going to be at Osgod Elementary. It's today from
34:24
pulb to four. There's going to be some bouncy houses that people have offered
34:29
to bring and said wow, okay, so it's gonna be Yeah, there's
34:31
gonna be a drive through lane. So it has really turned into a big
34:37
event and we're just really excited to support them. Stephanie was an r N
34:40
nurse and she worked in the critical care unit for many years at Stanford,
34:45
so it's just we're just glad that we can help out the family as well.
34:47
Well. We're definitely going to be out there and right now we'd like
34:51
to get ahold of Kate's dad, Tom, who you've given us his number.
34:53
Thank you for that, and we got a little surprise for them,
34:55
shall we let's do it? Col Tom, Good morning, Tom. Sorry
35:06
to bother you so early, but it's Pike in Amanda in the morning on
35:08
Big ninety point seven. You might if we chat with you for a second.
35:10
Absolutely, Well, so we heard unfortunately about the you know, tragedy
35:15
in your family, and we just first want to say we're so sorry.
35:17
We're thinking about you and your daughter and everybody involved, so our thoughts are
35:21
with you for that. Thank you, We really appreciate it. We also
35:23
heard there is a big bake sale going on today. They sure is.
35:29
My daughter Kate is super excited. She started a bake sale to help her
35:32
mom while she was in the hospital, but unfortunately how things happened, she's
35:38
kind of turned into a memorial but she's full momentum. Yeah, that's just
35:43
incredible. As a dad, you've got to be so proud. I am.
35:45
I am in having her mind be busy right now and proud of an
35:50
understatement, Well, just for her to have the strength to be able to
35:52
put together something like this, because you know, she's got to do all
35:54
the baking. It sounds like she's you know, organizing the whole thing.
35:58
So it's pretty incredible that nine year old is able to do all that.
36:00
So we just want to do actually before we go out there today, because
36:04
you know, we want to have some cookies too and help out. We
36:07
want to get the fun started by donating a little donation of our own.
36:09
Yeah. I don't know if you're familiar with the Big Ninetia points seven Christmas
36:13
Wish program, but our friends over at Gateway Chevrolet and Heartland Chevy Dealers,
36:17
we team up and we find people in our community that are going above and
36:21
beyond or need a little extra help when they're down on their luck. And
36:24
is Kate up and at it right now? You know she's not. She
36:27
actually was baking Laden's the night with the friends, so she actually had a
36:30
little sleepover. Rest assure that she's probably dipped in powdered suggar and the flower
36:37
right now. So well, as soon as you see her today, you
36:40
tell her that Big Ninetia point seven is going to start her bake sale for
36:45
mama with a one thousand dollar check. Oh wow, that is so so
36:50
generous and we are so grateful for everybody and you and thank you absolutely.
36:54
It's the least we can do. So neon to four, I hope everybody
36:58
listening goes out and get some Hates cookies to benefit of course, her mom
37:01
and her memory. New to four, the Osgood Elementary Parking Lot Southside is
37:07
where you guys are going to be. You got to drive through. Definitely
37:08
go out there. I hope everybody does. That would be great. Thank
37:12
you so much. We really the outpour of love and support had been just
37:15
amazing. Thank you absolutely. Thanks Tom hanging there. We'll be thinking to
37:20
you guys, and we'll see you today. All right by lake a minute
37:22
in the morning. Trending. Now, here's what you need to know.
37:30
A celebration of life are Fallen Fargo Police officer Jaqueline was held at Chiels Arena
37:35
yesterday. Just watching the footage from people on the sides of the road and
37:38
all the people that gathered to honor his memory was unbelievable. Yeah, every
37:43
little town along the way of that procession was lined up. Pretty cool.
37:46
Yeah. We were in Brainerd last weekends on Saturday, and as they were
37:51
going through Pequat Lakes. I mean, it was just amazing just the side
37:53
roads of people in Lakes country that we're all getting together to honor him.
37:58
Yesterday. There were speakers at the ceremony, former US Senator Heide hit Camp,
38:02
Governor Bergham, Mayor Mahoney, Attorney General Drew Wrigley, but the most
38:06
powerful of all was his father, Jeff, who thanked the community for the
38:08
overwhelming support, and they do not believe Jake would harbor any regrets over what
38:14
happened. He was not in the wrong place at the wrong time. He
38:16
was exactly where his heart and determination for his fellow man dictated that he should
38:21
be in that moment. And he is a hero. This is what his
38:23
dad said to others. He was Officer Jake Wallen, our sergeant Wallen,
38:30
but thus he will always be just Jake. Thank you. So sad,
38:39
so heartbreaking. And we had yet to hear from Officer Dodas and Officer Has
38:45
They've been in the hospital this entire time, and they created a video message
38:49
for everybody yesterday. Listen. It's incidents like we had a couple of weeks
38:53
ago where you start to realize where the community really steps up and it's different
38:59
up and everyone can feel it. That's the reason everyone stays through the cold.
39:02
I mean to the community. I really do want to say thank you
39:06
for everything that everybody has done for us. Jake was a very reliable and
39:10
a very loyal person and I could always count on the fact that he had
39:15
my back. It was grown man. You're not supposed to have heroes but
39:17
Jake Coulin will forever be my hero. I know, goodness, and you
39:23
know, our community has been coming together for weeks now. It feels like
39:28
just everybody. And one of the things that I kind of took from yesterday
39:30
