2:23
Speaker 1: with it.
2:24
Speaker 2: I never break the law except for the fact that
2:27
Speaker 2: I literally said yesterday I read a red light.
2:34
Speaker 4: Celebrating life's little victories.
2:37
Speaker 6: Every morning we practice gratitude on Big ninety eight point seven.
2:41
Speaker 1: If I could, I would keep this feeling in a
2:43
Speaker 1: blast job busted out when it was someone's acting hard.
2:46
Speaker 6: Sure your little victories with us at seven oh one
2:49
Speaker 6: two eight oho one ninety eight seven.
2:51
Speaker 4: Kids, I also needed to win that day. All right, Angie,
2:55
Speaker 4: do you have a little victory for me here today?
2:57
Speaker 3: I sure do. Well, Okay, I've got to because it
3:01
Speaker 3: is Friday.
3:01
Speaker 4: I'll let you do.
3:02
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right. Thanks.
3:03
Speaker 2: So one of my best friends in the entire land
3:05
Speaker 2: is coming to visit today. We'll see about like the
3:10
Speaker 2: delays on her flight or whatever. But she's coming to visit.
3:13
Speaker 2: I haven't seen her in over a year, so that's
3:16
Speaker 2: very exciting. But I did want to have this as
3:19
Speaker 2: my main victory because I drove in to work today
3:24
Speaker 2: in this ridiculous blowing snow weather. So normally my boyfriend
3:29
Speaker 2: Mikey takes me to work every single day because I'm
3:32
Speaker 2: a passenger princess and I'm very lucky. However, we had
3:37
Speaker 2: big happy hour last night at Unhinged Sports Bar in
3:40
Speaker 2: West Fargo, and when we do that, we take the
3:43
Speaker 2: big truck out, and I'm the one that's ensured to
3:47
Speaker 2: drive it.
3:47
Speaker 3: Mikey is not.
3:48
Speaker 2: He don't work here, so I had to physically drive
3:52
Speaker 2: the big truck back this morning. So I was very
3:56
Speaker 2: nervous because I grew up in the desert in life
4:00
Speaker 2: Las Vegas, and this is not weather that I ever
4:02
Speaker 2: had to experience or drive in.
4:05
Speaker 3: So I made it.
4:07
Speaker 2: I spun out a little bit coming out of the
4:09
Speaker 2: neighborhood because it was very snowy and icy, but I
4:12
Speaker 2: made it to work in one piece, and I feel
4:15
Speaker 2: really proud of myself. When I got in, I was
4:17
Speaker 2: telling Megan, who does Who's on after us? I was
4:21
Speaker 2: telling her about me driving the truck into work, and
4:24
Speaker 2: she goes, oh'd you put it in four wheel drive?
4:27
Speaker 5: What?
4:29
Speaker 3: I don't know anything about four wheel drive.
4:31
Speaker 4: There's a little button you gotta push.
4:32
Speaker 2: I didn't know that, so I did not come into
4:35
Speaker 2: work using four wheel drive, and yet I still made
4:38
Speaker 2: it in one piece.
4:39
Speaker 3: So I'm very proud of myself. And that is my
4:41
Speaker 3: little victory.
4:42
Speaker 1: Well I will show you how to do that at
4:44
Speaker 1: some point in your life. Please, very very very easy. Actually, yekay,
4:48
Speaker 1: all right, my little victory. It is the perfect day
4:51
Speaker 1: for a flannel Friday. Gross outside, the wind is blowing
4:56
Speaker 1: and it's going to make driving invisibility tough at moments,
4:59
Speaker 1: so obviously, so you take it slow on your way
5:01
Speaker 1: to work today, or if you got to bring the
5:03
Speaker 1: kids somewhere, whatever the case may be. But it is
5:06
Speaker 1: a flannel Friday. This is what today is meant for basically.
5:11
Speaker 1: And my mother in law recently got me two brand
5:16
Speaker 1: new flannels for Christmas.
5:19
Speaker 3: I ain't never seen this one.
5:20
Speaker 1: What I have on is new today. On Christmas or
5:24
Speaker 1: around Christmas when we saw her she gave me the gift.
5:26
Speaker 1: I opened it and she like her eyes got all
5:29
Speaker 1: wide and her mouth dropped and she went, you know, oh, shoot,
5:33
Speaker 1: that's the wrong one. She had accidentally mixed up presents
5:37
Speaker 1: and I got a different thing. And then she was
5:40
Speaker 1: able to send them in the mail just in time
5:43
Speaker 1: for today.
5:45
Speaker 3: This is perfect.
5:46
Speaker 2: Okay, So per tradition, we will take our Flannel Friday
5:50
Speaker 2: picture together. We'll post it up on the Big ninety
5:53
Speaker 2: eight point seven Facebook page, and if you're participating in
5:56
Speaker 2: Flannel Friday, drop a picture in the comments.
5:58
Speaker 3: We want to see you celebrate.
6:02
Speaker 1: I will say, there is something that happens here on
6:04
Speaker 1: Big ninety eight point seven, this show with Angie where
6:07
Speaker 1: I don't know what it is, but sayings I kind
6:10
Speaker 1: of never.
6:11
Speaker 4: Get right, all right.
6:12
Speaker 1: There's always a version of it, and I know what
6:15
Speaker 1: the premise or the idea of a saying is, yeah,
6:18
Speaker 1: but I get them wrong a lot or they're sort
6:21
Speaker 1: of right, yes, but not quite. And there was a
6:24
Speaker 1: moment yesterday at Unhinged where your boy he gave it
6:28
Speaker 1: a shot, but I wasn't quite correct.
6:33
Speaker 2: This was so wholesome to me because usually, like you said,
6:37
Speaker 2: it's like idioms like who let the cat out of
6:39
Speaker 2: the bag?
6:40
Speaker 3: Or laughing all the way to the bank.
6:42
Speaker 1: I'm always asking Angie, wait, what's that saying on this
6:45
Speaker 1: show all the time.
6:47
Speaker 3: And I love that about you.
6:48
Speaker 2: But what I loved about yesterday is that you weren't
6:52
Speaker 2: unsure of what you were going to say. You thought
6:56
Speaker 2: in your head that you absolutely had this correct.
7:00
Speaker 4: I crushed it.
7:00
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you said it so earnestly, so matter of factly,
7:05
Speaker 3: and all of us at the table died of laughter.
7:08
Speaker 2: And we were talking about winter and you know, when
7:11
Speaker 2: are we finally going to see spring? All this stuff,
7:14
Speaker 2: and so in discussing that, Gabe said, oh, yeah, you
7:18
Speaker 2: know when the hedgehog sees the sun.
7:23
Speaker 4: Was close.
7:25
Speaker 2: It was like, do you mean when the ground hog
7:29
Speaker 2: sees its shadow?
7:32
Speaker 5: And you were just so.
7:35
Speaker 3: Just earnest about it. You genuinely thought I got this right.
7:39
Speaker 2: This is I mean, just confidently. Oh yeah, we'll find
7:43
Speaker 2: out when the hedgehog sees the sun.
7:47
Speaker 6: Oh god.
7:47
Speaker 4: It is moments like this.
7:49
Speaker 1: If you've ever wondered, you know, I wonder what Angie's
7:51
Speaker 1: like off the air, what what Gabe is like off
7:54
Speaker 1: the air, Well you can always find out it unhinge
7:56
Speaker 1: sports bar on Thursdays.
7:57
Speaker 4: For big happy hours.
7:58
Speaker 1: That's right, but that basically sums me up in a
8:02
Speaker 1: nutshell right there, not quite right, but not far off.
8:06
Speaker 3: But not far off. And you know what, confident about it?
8:09
Speaker 4: That's right.
8:15
Speaker 1: Now, I've seen the terminator. Okay, these robots might take
8:20
Speaker 1: over the world. So just keep that in mind as
8:22
Speaker 1: we dissect this conversation. I think this conversation is very
8:26
Speaker 1: very interesting. Stranger Things is catching a little bit of
8:29
Speaker 1: heat all right off the final season.
8:32
Speaker 3: Allegedly fans saw in the documentary.
8:35
Speaker 2: They think they saw a chat GPT tab open on
8:38
Speaker 2: one of the computers and they were saying, oh, did
8:41
Speaker 2: they use chat gpt to write the script?
8:44
Speaker 3: And if they did, a lot of people are saying,
8:46
Speaker 3: that's cheating. No, that's not art, that's not because AI
8:50
Speaker 3: did it.
8:51
Speaker 1: Yeah, So our question for you this morning seven oh
8:53
Speaker 1: one two eight zero one nine eight seven does using
8:57
Speaker 1: AI either in art for you? Or should AI just
9:02
Speaker 1: still be considered art? And for some reason, I have
9:06
Speaker 1: a weird distinction with.
9:08
Speaker 2: This, what do you think I think that AI is
9:11
Speaker 2: not I think AI can help you in creating your art.
9:17
Speaker 2: But if you just rely solely on AI to create
9:20
Speaker 2: any kind of art piece, that's not art. Right, It's
9:24
Speaker 2: just not if I instructed AI to come up with
9:27
Speaker 2: a beautiful landscape with a waterfall and a building in
9:30
Speaker 2: the background and all this, and then it generates the
9:33
Speaker 2: image that.
9:34
Speaker 3: Is not art. I didn't make that. I didn't paint
9:37
Speaker 3: that myself. I just gave prompts to a robot.
9:40
Speaker 1: And did it.
9:41
Speaker 3: Like, no, we can't take credit for that. That is
9:43
Speaker 3: not art.
9:44
Speaker 1: Yeah, there is something about tiny, maybe little minuscule screw
9:48
Speaker 1: ups in a painting that a human did ye make
9:51
Speaker 1: it more artistic. I don't know why, but there's something
9:54
Speaker 1: about if you use chat GPT for a TV show
9:58
Speaker 1: or a movie, I don't care. I'll give you still,
10:01
Speaker 1: I'll give you all the credit in the world for
10:03
Speaker 1: making the show. I don't know if it has to
10:04
Speaker 1: do it because that is such a big project and
10:06
Speaker 1: so many people you are creating that that it doesn't
10:11
Speaker 1: really take anything away from me. It's like, oh, yeah,
10:14
Speaker 1: that's cool. Chat GPT helped me out. I don't care.
10:16
Speaker 1: Now if a singer who writes songs uses chat GPT
10:22
Speaker 1: to me, that is that would be cheating for me
10:25
Speaker 1: because writing a song, the brain is part of the
10:28
Speaker 1: instrument that I like.
10:30
Speaker 4: I don't.
10:31
Speaker 1: I don't well, I don't exactly know how I want
10:33
Speaker 1: to put this, but I don't really see the instrument
10:36
Speaker 1: in a movie being your.
10:37
Speaker 3: Brain does the dialogue?
10:42
Speaker 6: Is it?
10:42
Speaker 3: Are you not that because there's more components? Is that
10:45
Speaker 3: what you're saying?
10:46
Speaker 1: I think so I don't know why, but that's just
10:48
Speaker 1: how it feels for me. You know, i'd be Would
10:50
Speaker 1: you not be so bummed if you're a big swiftye
10:53
Speaker 1: and you found out that she's just chat gpting away
10:57
Speaker 1: at every song? That would stink. If I found out
11:01
Speaker 1: that whoever made the movie Training Day use chat GPT.
11:05
Speaker 1: I still think Denzel and Ethan Hawk crushed in that movie.
11:07
Speaker 1: I don't really care.
11:09
Speaker 2: I feel like for you, maybe it's set there are
11:11
Speaker 2: just with singing, there are just fewer components, right, exactly
11:15
Speaker 2: the song and the music.
11:18
Speaker 3: But with the movie, there's so much that goes into
11:20
Speaker 3: it that the whole.
11:21
Speaker 2: Thing can't be AI. What if the movie is AI
11:26
Speaker 2: in that all of it is AI, like the animation,
11:30
Speaker 2: the graphics, Like, what if it's like a Pixar movie.
11:34
Speaker 2: I'm out, but it's but it's AI generated.
11:37
Speaker 3: Everything was That would not be cool.
11:39
Speaker 2: But if it's real people and they're just using whatever
11:42
Speaker 2: the prompts where that's.
11:43
Speaker 3: Fine to you.
11:43
Speaker 1: I'm not really like an animated movie fan per se,
11:47
Speaker 1: So doesn't that wouldn't matter?
11:48
Speaker 2: All right?
11:49
Speaker 3: So wouldn't apply interest?
11:51
Speaker 1: We do have Spencer, Spencer, what do you think should
11:54
Speaker 1: AI be considered arts or using AI.
11:58
Speaker 5: Then it could be considered art. Just because it was
12:01
Speaker 5: created by a computer doesn't mean it's not art.
12:05
Speaker 1: Okay, So he thinks if you draw inspiration from it, okay,
12:09
Speaker 1: it could still be considered art.
12:10
Speaker 3: All right.
12:11
Speaker 4: We also have Mandy, Mandy, what do you think?
12:13
Speaker 5: No, it's impressive, but it's more like a tool than
12:16
Speaker 5: an artist, like photoshop didn't win a Grammy, and neither
12:19
Speaker 5: should an algorithm.
12:21
Speaker 4: That's actually a good way.
12:22
Speaker 3: Yes, that is a good point.
12:23
Speaker 1: I the human touch is important, that's right. Seven oh
12:27
Speaker 1: one two eight zero one nine eight seven. It's just
12:30
Speaker 1: kind of a fun conversation to have on the heels
12:32
Speaker 1: of stranger thing, catching stranger things, excuse me, catching a
12:35
Speaker 1: little bit of heat.
12:36
Speaker 4: And it's just interesting to hear what people think.
12:38
Speaker 3: This entire show is AI. No, I'm kidding, This.
12:44
Speaker 4: Is am I the problem.
12:47
Speaker 3: It's the problem.
12:50
Speaker 2: It's me.
12:51
Speaker 6: We'll hear one side of the story, and with your help,
12:54
Speaker 6: am I the problem, decide if it's right or if
12:57
Speaker 6: maybe you're the problem. I'm hardly the On Big ninety
13:01
Speaker 6: eight point seven.
13:02
Speaker 2: We had Shannon right into us and I love Bestie drama. Hey,
13:08
Speaker 2: Big ninety eight point seven Morning show. I need outside
13:11
Speaker 2: opinions because I'm spirally. My bestie has been dating her
13:14
Speaker 2: boyfriend for a while. He's cool or whatever.
13:18
Speaker 6: Is he.
13:20
Speaker 3: All right?
13:21
Speaker 2: All right, he's cool or whatever? But on her birthday
13:23
Speaker 2: they got into it over her dress. He thought it
13:26
Speaker 2: was too revealing and was being a jerk. I want
13:28
Speaker 2: to use a different word about it.
13:30
Speaker 3: Thanks for keeping it radio friendly girl.
13:32
Speaker 2: We appreciate that it didn't ruin the night, but we
13:35
Speaker 2: were talking about it after the fact and I said,
13:38
Speaker 2: he's just mad because he's too ugly for her.
13:41
Speaker 3: Wow.
13:42
Speaker 2: I thought she was gonna laugh, but it hurt her feelings,
13:45
Speaker 2: probably because I wasn't joking.
13:47
Speaker 3: But what does it matter if I think he's ugly.
13:49
Speaker 2: Actually, she didn't appreciate my candor, and she's acting weird
13:53
Speaker 2: and short with me. Let me know if I'm the problem,
13:56
Speaker 2: even though I totally think i'm not.
13:58
Speaker 3: Wow.
13:59
Speaker 2: Okay, Shannon, I hate to say it because I get
14:02
Speaker 2: where you're coming from. However, you are the problem because
14:07
Speaker 2: your bestie hasn't broken up.
14:08
Speaker 3: With him yet.
14:10
Speaker 2: You can't trash talk him while they're still together. Even
14:13
Speaker 2: though they got into a fight, they're still together. So
14:17
Speaker 2: you got to keep those really, really honest opinions to yourself.
14:22
Speaker 2: Now when they actually split, talk about how he is
14:26
Speaker 2: one quasi moto looking mother effort.
14:31
Speaker 3: And that's only after they break up.
14:34
Speaker 2: Right now, you are the problem. So you should apologize,
14:37
Speaker 2: even lie and say that you were just kidding. But
14:41
Speaker 2: when it's over, for real, say I was not kidding
14:44
Speaker 2: at all.
14:44
Speaker 5: Girl.
14:45
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm I do agree with you for the most
14:48
Speaker 4: part on that. That's fine.
14:49
Speaker 1: If you think your bestie's guy or your your buddy's
14:54
Speaker 1: girlfriend is not attractive, that's fine. You're not the one
14:57
Speaker 1: who's in a relationship with them. Yeah, don't go say
15:00
Speaker 1: that to someone you're super close to. For Oh, you know,
15:03
Speaker 1: this fight will blow over or they'll figure something out,
15:05
Speaker 1: and these people might go on to get married at
15:07
Speaker 1: some point and forever. This woman now thinks your friend
15:12
Speaker 1: now goes wow, you like hate this dude, or you
15:14
Speaker 1: think he's super ugly. I mean, she shouldn't care about that.
15:18
Speaker 1: I think her bestie's overreacting a little bit. She should
15:21
Speaker 1: know she's just trying to defend her and say whatever
15:23
Speaker 1: is gonna make her feel better.
15:24
Speaker 4: But you can't say that to people.
15:27
Speaker 3: What do you think seven oh one, two, eight oh one,
15:29
Speaker 3: nine eight seven.
15:30
Speaker 2: Should Shannon have kept her mouth shut about her besties
15:34
Speaker 2: boyfriend being an uggo?
15:37
Speaker 4: Now have I done this? Of course I have never
15:40
Speaker 4: done this.
15:42
Speaker 2: Yeah, So Shannon wrote into us, wondering if she was
15:52
Speaker 2: the problem. Her best friend's been dating this guy for
15:55
Speaker 2: a while. They got into it at her birthday party,
15:59
Speaker 2: and so I make her friend feel better. She said
16:03
Speaker 2: to her, Well, he's just mad. He's too ugly for you,
16:06
Speaker 2: And now her best friend is upset with her, and
16:10
Speaker 2: she wants to know. She's a problem for saying that,
16:13
Speaker 2: for being too honest with her bestie.
16:16
Speaker 3: We also put this up on the Big ninety eight
16:18
Speaker 3: points I'm on Facebook page.
16:19
Speaker 2: I think she is the problem because you can't say
16:22
Speaker 2: stuff like that until they broke up for good.
16:25
Speaker 3: Until then, you have to keep your opinions to yourself.
16:28
Speaker 2: Michelle said, ouch, I don't know if this is repairable
16:32
Speaker 2: unless they break up. She's obviously hurt. Give her space
16:36
Speaker 2: and time. Maybe send her a funny friendship greeting card.
16:39
Speaker 2: Explain you were just trying to make her laugh, and
16:41
Speaker 2: tell her how much you value her friendship. Good luck
16:45
Speaker 2: is Michelle, her bestie is Michelle see she really had
16:49
Speaker 2: some ideas here.
16:51
Speaker 1: Well, you know what's so funny about this, This seems
16:53
Speaker 1: very just girl drama, girl coded. I don't feel like
16:58
Speaker 1: dudes say this to each other unless it's maybe someone
17:01
Speaker 1: you hooked up with. We might have a smart alec comment.
17:03
Speaker 5: You know.
17:04
Speaker 3: But but if it's like a girl, keep your mouth shut.
17:07
Speaker 1: But if it's just a one night dance, yeah, that's
17:10
Speaker 1: when you can kind of let the jokes fly, if
17:12
Speaker 1: you are cool with that, which is still horribly mean.
17:15
Speaker 4: I'm not saying it's great to sea.
17:16
Speaker 3: Yeah, right, you do it all the time. No, I'm kidding.
17:18
Speaker 3: I'm kidding.
17:19
Speaker 1: Now, a lot of people are saying she is the problem,
17:22
Speaker 1: but there are a few who see it a different way.
17:26
Speaker 3: Like Amy.
17:26
Speaker 1: She said, sometimes best friends have to say the hard stuff.
17:30
Speaker 1: You saw red flags and spoke up. Now, that is true,
17:34
Speaker 1: but his looks don't have anything to do with his behavior.
17:37
Speaker 1: So I don't know if I agree with that.
17:38
Speaker 5: Maybe they do.
17:39
Speaker 3: Though when I feel ugly, I'm more of a hater.
17:44
Speaker 1: And then Erica, Erica I think has something on the
17:48
Speaker 1: kind of the opposite side that is actual advice. So
17:51
Speaker 1: kudos to Erica today, she said, you could have worded
17:54
Speaker 1: it nicer, but you weren't wrong. Is fabulous. This is
17:59
Speaker 1: a very interesting conversation going out on Facebook. You can
18:02
Speaker 1: check it out at Big ninety seven's Facebook page. Text
18:05
Speaker 1: us call us seven oh one two eight zero one
18:07
Speaker 1: eight seven.
18:12
Speaker 2: We learned earlier in the show that Gabe didn't know
18:17
Speaker 2: it was Groundhog's Day, that it was the groundhog looking
18:21
Speaker 2: for its shadow.
18:21
Speaker 3: He thought it was when the hedgehog sees the sun.
18:26
Speaker 4: It was a moment at Unhinged yesterday.
18:28
Speaker 2: Yes, and then Jessica Simpson she's making money off it now,
18:32
Speaker 2: but back in two thousand and three she was eating
18:35
Speaker 2: a can of tuna and she didn't know if it
18:37
Speaker 2: was chicken or fish because the brand was Chicken of
18:40
Speaker 2: the Sea. So what is your seven oh one two
18:43
Speaker 2: eight oh one nine eight seven? What is your I.
18:46
Speaker 1: Should have known this, Yeah, I'm rob I don't. I mean,
18:49
Speaker 1: obviously I know what Groundhog's Day. I've heard about it.
18:52
Speaker 1: I don't know why.
18:52
Speaker 4: For whatever reason, yesterday I just drew a blank and
18:56
Speaker 4: I just went.
18:56
Speaker 3: With when the hedgehog us first of all, using that forever.
19:02
Speaker 2: Now though I love that, but I don't want you
19:04
Speaker 2: to feel bad there. I remember there was a time
19:08
Speaker 2: when I genuinely asked this to my boyfriend and the
19:11
Speaker 2: look of disappointment that he gave me, like, wow, I
19:14
Speaker 2: am dating an idiot. I looked at him and I said,
19:19
Speaker 2: are Chevy and Chevrolet the same thing?
19:22
Speaker 4: That's wonderful?
19:24
Speaker 3: And I don't know why I didn't know that, right,
19:27
Speaker 3: But I should have known that.
19:28
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's one of those things.
19:29
Speaker 1: Hey, if you don't ever hear it or someone you
19:31
Speaker 1: know helps you learn it or corrects you a little bit,
19:34
Speaker 1: why would you know?
19:35
Speaker 4: You know, Yeah, you're not into I don't know, fixing.
19:37
Speaker 3: Cars orping genius.
19:39
Speaker 1: Okay, we've got seven oh one two eight zero one
19:43
Speaker 1: nine eight seven for you to reach out to us
19:46
Speaker 1: this morning.
19:46
Speaker 4: Something you maybe should have known? What about you, Tanner?
19:49
Speaker 6: I should have known not to plug in so many
19:51
Speaker 6: plugs in the one outlet.
19:53
Speaker 5: It was Christmas and I plugged in a lot of
19:56
Speaker 5: lights into one of those power strips. It actually started
19:59
Speaker 5: a fire, and luckily I was able to put it out,
20:02
Speaker 5: but it could have been really bad if I wasn't home.
20:05
Speaker 1: Yeah, this literally sounds like something straight out of the
20:07
Speaker 1: movie A Christmas Story.
20:08
Speaker 3: You learned this in fact.
20:10
Speaker 2: Who am I to judge, But I feel like that's
20:12
Speaker 2: a big thing you learn in fire safety elementary school.
20:16
Speaker 4: I never took fire safety.
20:17
Speaker 1: I don't think I will light up a plug literally,
20:20
Speaker 1: all right, What about you, Jessica, Something you maybe should
20:24
Speaker 1: have known.
20:24
Speaker 5: I went studied abroad in Italy in college, and I
20:27
Speaker 5: had this really nice and expensive radio that I connected
20:30
Speaker 5: to my iPod. I wanted to play music at my
20:32
Speaker 5: new place, so I brought it with me to Europe.
20:34
Speaker 5: I plug it in using an adapter, of course, and
20:37
Speaker 5: it's immediately just fried the device. I should have known
20:41
Speaker 5: better to not bring an entire radio and just get
20:44
Speaker 5: one there if I really needed one.
20:46
Speaker 4: That's very true.
20:48
Speaker 3: How would you know?
20:49
Speaker 1: Yeah, if you're going to vacation in Europe, though, just
20:52
Speaker 1: buy stuff in Europe.
20:53
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm gonna grat you grace on that one, Jessica.
20:56
Speaker 3: But I wouldn't Memonie.
20:57
Speaker 4: Meither's seven one two eight zero one nine eighth Evan.
21:00
Speaker 1: What should you probably have known, Jessica Simpson and how
21:06
Speaker 1: she has really two decades later, kind of cashed in
21:09
Speaker 1: on a blunder in regarding tuna or chicken.
21:12
Speaker 2: Yeah, she didn't know back in the day on Newlyweds
21:15
Speaker 2: if it was chicken or fish the tuna that she
21:18
Speaker 2: was eating, So what was your I should have known moment?
21:22
Speaker 2: Damien texted us, this is like my favorite fabulous.
21:27
Speaker 1: He said, As a child, I didn't realize onion rings
21:32
Speaker 1: contained onions. I thought they just were called that because
21:36
Speaker 1: of how they were shaped. The second I found out
21:39
Speaker 1: it was onions, Damien stopped eating them, which.
21:43
Speaker 2: Is fabulous, even though they tasted because he's like, I
21:46
Speaker 2: cannot support that not eating onions ever again, even if
21:49
Speaker 2: there's a fire.
21:53
Speaker 1: A day like today reminds me of Christmas or it
21:55
Speaker 1: makes me feel like Christmas, not the dog days of
21:59
Speaker 1: January winter. What kind of day is January sixteenth? I'd mean, really,
22:04
Speaker 1: it's a nothing day. I will say it is. Today
22:07
Speaker 1: is national do nothing Day. But it's also my brother
22:09
Speaker 1: Chris's birthday.
22:10
Speaker 3: So I had.
22:12
Speaker 1: With the weather being what it is and it feeling
22:15
Speaker 1: very winter wonder landy, you can let us know it
22:19
Speaker 1: won't hurt our feelings and it shouldn't hurt anyone else's feelings.
22:23
Speaker 4: Do you have your Christmas cards? Fill up? And I
22:27
Speaker 4: did look this up.
22:28
Speaker 1: The average person keeps Christmas cards for a few weeks,
22:31
Speaker 1: usually until the decorations come down. But how long they're
22:34
Speaker 1: kept depends on a lot of other things. You know,
22:37
Speaker 1: how much it's sentimental to you who gave it to you,
22:40
Speaker 1: all this stuff. I have a buddy named Sam, who
22:42
Speaker 1: I love to death. I was the best man in
22:45
Speaker 1: his wedding. He was the best man in my wedding.
22:47
Speaker 1: We got a Christmas card from Sam a little late.
22:50
Speaker 1: I think it showed up maybe January eighth, seventh, something
22:55
Speaker 1: like that, you know, really slow in the mail, I think,
22:57
Speaker 1: And basically his Christmas card got to see the light
23:02
Speaker 1: of day for about forty eight hours before it cuts
23:04
Speaker 1: stowed away.
23:05
Speaker 3: We are such opposite people gave. So you've gotten rid.
23:09
Speaker 2: Of all of your holiday cards, single one? Do you
23:12
Speaker 2: trash them or do you keep them? Or you don't
23:15
Speaker 2: want to out yourself on that.
23:16
Speaker 3: At the very least, they're not.
23:17
Speaker 4: On the fridge anymore, right, they're not in the fridge.
23:20
Speaker 4: We I don't know what we did this year. Normally,
23:23
Speaker 4: Corey'll put them in like a.
23:24
Speaker 1: Shoebox or something stupid, and then I'll throw the shoe
23:26
Speaker 1: box away.
23:29
Speaker 4: But I saw I chuck them.
23:31
Speaker 2: Mostly my holiday cards are still up Not only are
23:35
Speaker 2: they still up on the refrigerator, they stay there for
23:39
Speaker 2: the entire year until December. That's insane when I clear
23:43
Speaker 2: them off and then get ready for the new holiday
23:46
Speaker 2: cards to come in. But I like having them on
23:48
Speaker 2: there because most of the time the Christmas. If you
23:51
Speaker 2: send me a Christmas card and it's just like a
23:54
Speaker 2: card and you wrote stuff in it, nothing's going in
23:56
Speaker 2: the trash. Sorry, but I read it and I appreciate it.
23:59
Speaker 2: But if it's a Christmas card where it has a
24:01
Speaker 2: photo of you with your family, I love that, especially
24:05
Speaker 2: if there's pets in the photo. Absolutely I would like
24:09
Speaker 2: to look at that year round. And then once the
24:12
Speaker 2: new ones come in, then I'll clear those out. And
24:14
Speaker 2: I don't throw those in the trash. I keep them
24:16
Speaker 2: in a like a heavy duty ziplock freezer bag.
24:21
Speaker 3: I don't put it in a freezer.
24:23
Speaker 4: That's just where you leave those up for twelve months.
24:27
Speaker 1: Yeah. See, I wouldn't call myself a neat freak or
24:31
Speaker 1: a clean freak, not even close. But I don't like clutter.
24:34
Speaker 1: And when I can declutter my fridge, I feel like
24:38
Speaker 1: I lost five pounds.
24:40
Speaker 3: Well, you're a hater and you're a grnch.
24:43
Speaker 2: We put this up on the Big ninety eight points
24:45
Speaker 2: up on Facebook page, and a lot of people so
24:48
Speaker 2: far are like me in that they still have their
24:51
Speaker 2: holiday cards up. Michelle actually she sent us a picture
24:54
Speaker 2: which this is kind of cool. I put mine around
24:56
Speaker 2: a door frame. They're still up. Not sure when I'll
24:58
Speaker 2: take them down. I love seeing my family and friends
25:00
Speaker 2: smiling faces.
25:01
Speaker 3: That's why I keep mine up. I like them.
25:03
Speaker 2: Christy still got hers up. Jacqueline still has hers up
25:07
Speaker 2: in the dining room, but they're likely going to be
25:10
Speaker 2: purged this week.
25:11
Speaker 1: Good grand Jane did actually let us know about our
25:15
Speaker 1: Christmas card that we sent out this year, Angie. She said,
25:18
Speaker 1: my Christmas cards, including yours, are still hanging up. So
25:24
Speaker 1: we are on someone's fridge or door.
25:28
Speaker 4: Yes, somewhere this morning.
25:29
Speaker 3: We feel honored.
25:31
Speaker 4: When is it time to get rid of the Christmas card?
25:33
Speaker 1: Seven oh one two eight zero one nine eight seven
25:36
Speaker 1: or are you like me and those things are gone?
25:39
Speaker 4: Early January.
25:45
Speaker 6: Starting off the day with something good. This is Gabe's
25:49
Speaker 6: good News on Big ninety eight point seven.
25:53
Speaker 1: David Sylvester has spent the past twenty five years doling
25:57
Speaker 1: out as many hugs as possible. You might come across
26:01
Speaker 1: this guy's name as you're scrolling through your social media today.
26:04
Speaker 1: His friend was in one of the towers on nine
26:07
Speaker 1: to eleven and didn't make it out, and Dave says
26:09
Speaker 1: he was a lifelong positive presence, so he's been doing
26:13
Speaker 1: it as a tribute to him. In the past twenty
26:15
Speaker 1: five years, he has clipped the one million mark. He
26:19
Speaker 1: has hugged over one million people in all fifty states
26:23
Speaker 1: and forty two different countries. He published a book called
26:28
Speaker 1: One Hug at a Time. Now he has a new
26:31
Speaker 1: one called Brothers in Arms, Real Men Hug. And this
26:34
Speaker 1: is just a wonderful story coming out of Dave who
26:37
Speaker 1: obviously had something very negative in his life happened, and
26:40
Speaker 1: he's trying his best to just remember his friend and
26:43
Speaker 1: bring some positivity to the world.
26:46
Speaker 3: This makes me really emotional.
26:47
Speaker 2: I think my favorite thing in the world when I'm
26:50
Speaker 2: having a bad day is a nice, big hug.
26:52
Speaker 3: And it's really sweet that he does.
26:54
Speaker 1: It's very very sweet. The world is full of nice people.
26:58
Speaker 1: If you can't find one, you gotta be. Dave is
27:01
Speaker 1: literally who I'm talking about when we say that at
27:03
Speaker 1: the end of every show here on Big ninety eight
27:05
Speaker 1: point seven,
