• 0:05
  make over and hosting a grand reopening at the end of twenty twenty two,
• 0:08

• 0:12
  on the door said, sorry, we're closed, thank you for the fun
• 0:15
  and memories. I it't they go like revamped in everything. Yeah, it's
• 0:20
  been a while since I've been in there, but that's a staple in town.

  I was had an appointment over there about two weeks ago. I'm like,
• 0:25
  oh my gosh, I forget about Chuck E Cheese. Totally all in
• 0:29
  the Chuckster. I know all our lives totally, I will say. And
• 0:33
  it's sad that a business closed. It's sad that the people are out of
• 0:35
  jobs, obviously immediately. But growing up, there's nobody I hated more than
• 0:39
  that that rat. Isn't it funny how it's either like a love hate relationship
• 0:43
  when it comes to that. I was always the odd duck who truly loved
• 0:47
  their pizza, like your cheese pizza. I don't know what it was,
• 0:50
  but pizza is it? There's something about it? Yeah, I say the
• 0:53
  pizza was good. The games were great, but man, when that rat
• 0:56
  came out from that back door, I ran. I would cry every time,
• 1:00
  but my parents continued to bring me. Would you run into the ballpit?
• 1:04

• 2:25
  to rot in bed. Okay, I did that already, did you.

  It was a strong urge. I'll tell you that. But here we are.

• 3:19
  precipitation we're going to get. Okay, well, good to have you back,
• 3:22
  Amanda. Yeah, good to be bad man is in the house.
• 3:25
  I walked in and Pike was like raising the roof. Who she's bad?
• 3:30
  Body? Time? Pike? It a manday in the morning, big naty
• 3:34
  eight point seven. Time to enter the judgment zone where we get a little
• 3:38
  judgy, and today I feel like you're gonna want to be very judgy.
• 3:44
  Yeah, she's on the phone now. She wants to remain nameless, but
• 3:46
  let's find out what's going on. Good morning, How are you? I
• 3:49
  am good? Thanks for having me. Yeah, absolutely welcome anytime. Well,
• 3:53
  hopefully this will be enough for you. Tell us what you got going
• 3:55
  on that you want some advice on okay. So on Saturday, I was
• 4:00
  a baby sitting for a family and the mom and dad they had gone to
• 4:04
  a wedding, so they said, you know, no later than midnight,
• 4:06
  nobie deal. So I got a text around ten thirty and they said they
• 4:12
  were on their way home and the wedding wasn't very far so around eleven eleven
• 4:16
  and five, I've been a text asking if they were okay, and they
• 4:21
  didn't answer me. So it kind of started as nervous. I think anybody
• 4:26
  would write, right, so I called them. I didn't text. I
• 4:30
  called them around eleven thirty and the husband told me that they ended up at
• 4:35
  a bar and that they were going to be a little later. I said,
• 4:40
  okay, you know, don't you have any idea at time? And
• 4:44
  he said, oh, probably around twelve thirty and then he hung up.
• 4:46
  My god, this is weird. Okay, yeah, so it was late.
• 4:50
  So I ended up falling asleep on the couch and you're not going to
• 4:55
  leave this. But I woke up at like two thirty and they still were
• 4:59
  not home. Got mom and dad rageous, so of course like a panic,
• 5:03
  and I tried to call them and checked them again, and they didn't
• 5:09
  respond and they didn't show up until four in the morning, as I want
• 5:14
  to go after two thirty, I was just await sitting there. Oh yeah,
• 5:17
  I was so upset. Your mind have been going wild, like I
• 5:21
  would be panic thinking that they I mean, first thought they're in jail,
• 5:26
  or like something serious happened, right well, yeah, nothing could happens at
• 5:29
  four am. Well, and no communication, texting you, letting you know
• 5:31
  anything. That's first of all, just super disrespectful. But anyway, they
• 5:35
  roll in at four am like a bunch of college kids. What did they
• 5:39
  say, I mean, were they like drinking at somebody's garage or right,
• 5:42
  well, I wouldn't have cared if they had just communicated or responded to any
• 5:46
  of my text their messages. So when I got home, they did not
• 5:51
  apologize. They didn't even acknowledge that they had been out, you know,
• 5:58
  five more hours than they originally said they were going to be. They didn't
• 6:00
  apologize, and it only paved me one hundred dollars So the time that I
• 6:04
  was there, well, wait, one hundred bucks. So that in addition
• 6:08
  to what you were already getting paid or that was like the agreement from the
• 6:12
  beginning. That was the agreement because they weren't going to be gone very low.
• 6:15
  Oh my god. Okay, so they didn't give you any extra money
• 6:17
  and what did you say? Did you say, like do the old like
• 6:20
  rub your fingers together, wait for a tip? I did. I sent
• 6:24
  them a demo for another hundred dollars because that's a good hour. Oh yeah,
• 6:29
  yeah, the hours would have equaled out to So I did that and
• 6:33
  they haven't addressed it at all yet. So you know, what what should
• 6:38
  I do? What do you do? Seven one two eight one ninety eight
• 6:42
  seven? I don't know. Maybe she should actually like try to communicate with
• 6:45
  them instead of just assuming they saw to them. All what if they never
• 6:47
  saw them, because like, what if they're not textavvy and they just like
• 6:51
  they never even went on the abb and never saw it. If she hasn't
• 6:55
  said a word to them, how are they going to know? Like,
• 6:57
  if she wants to be treated like an adult, she should probably like,
• 7:00
  WHOA interesting? Thanks for calling man? Yeah, noble, that does make
• 7:05
  sense to his point. Yeah, how many times do you have to like
• 7:08
  people? I know very well. I got to send them a reminder because
• 7:11
  they didn't see the VENMO request, you know, not everybody gets those notifications.
• 7:15
  Yeah, either way, I guess for me. Again, the parent
• 7:17
  perspective here is totally disrespectful and you should be paying up. I don't care
• 7:23
  if your babysitious sleeping. They're still there watching over your kids. A lot
• 7:26
  of people chiming in on Facebook, a lot of people reminiscing on getting paid
• 7:30
  two fifty an hour plus. They'd have to clean the house, wash the
• 7:32
  dishes. Did you ever do that? Did you ever watch kids growing up?
• 7:35
  No? I'm imagining that person also had to walk uphill to school both
• 7:40
  directions. These girls are my age where it's like, I remember your first
• 7:43
  babysitting job and you were younger. You're twelve, eleven, twelve, you
• 7:46
  know this girl sounded a lot older. Yeah, but yeah, you didn't
• 7:48
  get paid that much. But prices are up. That's just the way it
• 7:51
  is anymore, unfortunately. Yeah, that's the price of doom business. You
• 7:57
  on stay out a night partying. And that's the other thing too. It's
• 8:00
  like, come on, you got kids at home four am? How is
• 8:03
  kidding? How is nobody brought up with a fact like, hey, if
• 8:05
  you're gonna keep her there for four am, you might as well hire till
• 8:09
  noon the next day and give her a three hundred bucks because who's watching your
• 8:13
  kids in the morning? No, exactly, So what do you think seven
• 8:15
  on one, two eight one ninety eight seven. If I was left on
• 8:18
  red at midnight, I would be nervous about what happened to the parent.
• 8:22
  Yeah, he didn't call the cops, wondering where they were at. You
• 8:26
  know, that's a good point. I probably would have too, especially at
• 8:28
  that two thirty point where I didn't have any communication between what midnight and two
• 8:33
  thirty, and then they're not responding till for I'm with you. I would
• 8:37
  have done the same. But now you're talking like kids are getting woken up,
• 8:39
  police are at the house. I mean, that's that's quite the escalation.
• 8:43
  If they're not answering for four hours and you're in charge of their kids,
• 8:46
  like I would immediately go with something's wrong. Yeah, we need to
• 8:50
  figure out where they're at. If that's the case, time is at the
• 8:54
  essence, you only have forty eight hours, I'm told, so you gotta
• 8:56
  get to it. Thanks for the call. I appreciate you. What do
• 9:01
  we think she should probably reach back out? And I wouldn't say demand,
• 9:05
  but it's like, hey, here's the deal, pay me extra money this
• 9:07
  much, or we're not doing this again. There's so many things here my
• 9:11
  suspicion and I don't know for sure, but I just have I have larger
• 9:15
  concerns about the parents' capabilities in general. You know, I think you got
• 9:20
  reached back out. You got to demand some money otherwise this is over cut
• 9:22
  them off. And either way, don't you kind of feel like this relationship
• 9:26
  is already over. I can't imagine going back and watching these kids. No,
• 9:28
  they're probably embarrassing. Maybe eventually they'll reach back out because you know what
• 9:31
  it is, dude, remember having a favorite babysitter? Oh? Yeah,
• 9:35
  like what if this was her? Oh I had a favorite? Oh okay,
• 9:39
  okay, would you like to rule on this judgment or are you just
• 9:43
  gonna be a big old creeper? Now it's okay, I was a child.
• 9:46
  It's okay, final judgment. Be better takee Amanda in the morning.
• 9:52
  Dude, seven, you want your kids to grow up to be smart,
• 9:56
  you know, intelligent people. Of course that's your goal, right, Well,
• 10:01
  here's a sign apparently that they're going to be smart people if they're doing
• 10:05
  this as a child, according to recent research published by the Journal of Experimental
• 10:11
  Child Psychology, one of my favorite magazine, That's Intense. All right.
• 10:15
  They said that it turns out if your child is prone to lying at a
• 10:20
  young age, that may indicate that they're going to have better cognitive abilities than
• 10:24
  other kids lying. We have raised our kids to not lie. In fact,
• 10:28
  we get pretty upset when they do lie. To us. That sounds
• 10:31
  like you're restricting their intelligence. Sydney gonna be five next week already, My
• 10:37
  goodness, where did this time go? But she likes to tell little lies.
• 10:41
  Every once in a while, I will tell her something. She's like,
• 10:43
  got jokester. She'll go, just joking, your mom, just joking?
• 10:48
  Yeah, yeah, you know in a way, that's good lying.
• 10:50
  Instead of lying, you just pretend you're kidding. Correct. It's a classic.
• 10:52
  It works every time I'm joking. I'm just sorry, mom, All
• 10:58
  good here? But yeah, because I remember even my mom like you just
• 11:01
  a look at me. You've known me for what fifteen years? Almost?
• 11:05
  Yeah, you're bad. You started talking too much. It's not even that
• 11:07
  I can just look at you and I either start laughing. I'm just not
• 11:11
  a liar. Yeah, you know, as a kid, Do you remember
• 11:13
  lying about, like, let's say, whether you were sick or not.
• 11:16
  Oh, I remember trying to get out of school just saying, oh,
• 11:18
  my tummy hurts, and that's the best way to lie, because you know
• 11:20
  they can't really prove it. Yeah. So I went through a stage where
• 11:24
  there was this mean girl situation and I was getting picked on by all the
• 11:31
  girls. And so I remember going to the nurse's office calling out sick because
• 11:35
  we were supposed to go on this huge trip to the cities to go see
• 11:37
  the state capitol and I did not want to go on the bus ride,
• 11:41
  so had my grandma come pick me up. And I don't know what was
• 11:46
  worse being picked on or the fact that my grandma knew when I wasn't sick
• 11:50
  and every single time you'd think price is right, young and the restless days
• 11:56
  of our lives got to watch all that little saved by the Bell. She
• 11:58
  knew I was into it, she knew I enjoyed it, So she made
• 12:01
  me eat milk toast. Oh, Grandma, I know, and you'd have
• 12:05
  to like choke it down, and it just was it worth it? So
• 12:09
  that was her punishment or was that supposed to help you feel because I had
• 12:13
  a tummy ache, and so her thing was, you gotta have milk toast.
• 12:16
  Then Grandma, I know, I know. Wait so she picked up
• 12:18
  from the cities. No, no, no, no, no, that's
• 12:20
  the trip I got out of. So I didn't have to go to the
• 12:22
  cities because I was you. I know, I didn't miss it. Was
• 12:26
  a great time, wasn't it. Nobody liked you on the bus Jesus,
• 12:31
  you know you think about that. That's usually a lot of times when you
• 12:35
  you lied about it. Yeah, how about you? Oh big big liars
• 12:39
  a child? Really, that's why I'm so intelligent. What was the biggest
• 12:43
  lie? Or can you even admit? Tell you what I lied about?
• 12:46
  Was when they would do you know, they'd come into your school and they
• 12:50
  would do like hearing envision tests, right, you did it every six months
• 12:52
  or something, and so you did not. In fourth grade, kids were
• 12:56
  starting to get glasses and for some reason, I don't know, I just
• 13:00
  I just felt like I needed a change. Why Why was that? It
• 13:03
  was a thing like, oh, I want to have glasses. Yeah,
• 13:05
  so I lied on the test. Again, they can't really prove what you
• 13:09
  can and can't see, so they were doing the you know, read the
• 13:13
  top line, and I just bombed it. I mean I probably could have
• 13:16
  like pretended I could see some of it, but man, it was like
• 13:18
  they must have thought I was legally blind. So they bring me in My
• 13:22
  dad had to bring me into the actual eye doctor. Oh what a pain.
• 13:26
  And here's where I wasn't the best liar, because when they were fitting
• 13:30
  me for frames, you know, the frames that are hanging on the wall,
• 13:31
  they don't have your prescription lens in them yet, they're just fakes.
• 13:37
  And so they put this frame on me and I look into me. I
• 13:39
  go, oh, yeah, I can see better already. Yeah, And
• 13:43
  the doctor goes, well, they don't have the lenses in them, and
• 13:46
  so I think I wasted why it had already gone so far, They just
• 13:50
  gave them to me anyway. And then I love that you sit here and
• 13:54
  say they just gave them to you anyway. When your parents had to pay
• 13:56
  for whatever trifocals that you ended up had to pretend to get at, you
• 14:01
  know, five hundred dollars a pop just so you could, did you ever
• 14:05
  even wear them? Let's see, that's the thing. You know, you
• 14:07
  lie about him taking to look cool, but then because I was, according
• 14:11
  to them, legally blind, I think I started getting headaches and realizing,
• 14:13
  of course, I don't think I need these at all. Did you pop
• 14:16
  the lenses out at least and wear them at all? Okay, I wasn't
• 14:20
  an idiot, And now here I am, one hundred years later, still
• 14:24
  glasses free, and now it's one of my greatest points of pride. Is
• 14:28
  it my twenty vision? Yeah? Oh man? Anyway, I feel bad
• 14:31
  for your parents, But boy did I look cool and smart a few days
• 14:35
  there, Amanda in the morning, I now Amanda stills. Let's see.
• 14:39
  Let's see Ronzi by JDP Electric. So I don't know how much you've been
• 14:45
  following along with this. The royal family just in shambles. Of course,
• 14:48
  you all remember Prince Harry Megan Markle like when they left the Royals, that
• 14:52
  was all this controversy, and I feel like they've been laying low. It's
• 14:56
  kind of like, oh yeah, out of there, we are finding out.
• 14:58
  I guess Prince Harry and Prince William were at this same event a couple
• 15:01
  of weeks ago for Princess Diana, not even really spotted together. So they
• 15:05
  still have a very tumultuous relationship. So there's a word that relationship situation going
• 15:11
  on. Then there was the diagnosis from the king he has some form of
• 15:18
  cancer, and over the week and we found out he died. Did you
• 15:20
  see this? The Russian media sent out this whole announcement that the king is
• 15:26
  set or they're counting in palace is announcing that the king is dead. Well,
• 15:30
  it sounds like the reports of the King's death have been greatly exaggerated.
• 15:33
  Yeah, so he's not dead. I guess we think that's the case,
• 15:37
  but they're being very weird about it. It took him like two days to
• 15:41
  release a statement saying that he was in fact alive. You know what I
• 15:45
  mean, Like the delay in it is crazy. So there's also this huge
• 15:48
  rumor about Kate Middleton. So she had an abdominal surgery surgery back in December,
• 15:52
  so she was out of the spotlight for a little bit. Well there's
• 15:56
  this girl. Did you hear about Rose Hanbury. She's been hanging with Prince
• 16:00
  William for a while and she just released the statement yesterday saying no, I
• 16:07
  am not having an affair with this guy. Because they were thinking that Kate
• 16:11
  and Prince William were on the outs and that's why she hasn't been making public
• 16:15
  appearances. So they were spotted together over the weekend going into some farm shop
• 16:18
  and it's a blurry photo. Was a video. It looks like her though
• 16:22
  screenshot I saw of it, and he looks skinny er, I guess we're
• 16:26
  skinnier. But people on the internet anyway, they're so like they desperately wanted
• 16:32
  to be an imposter, like they Yeah, they're trying to fool us with
• 16:34
  a look alike, very much like the Britney Spears saga. Then it happened
• 16:38
  when everybody was trying to figure out what was going on with her. I
• 16:41
  hope everything is okay here, but this is kind of crazy for them not
• 16:45
  to just and I guess I don't know how the royals work, but can
• 16:48
  you get the little dud true and then like have them come out onto the
• 16:52
  balcony all of the family and say, we're alive, We're okay. Can
• 16:56
  we all move on? Yeah? Exactly. Otherwise, as far as I
• 16:59
  could tell, they're all dead. And I was just telling you about my
• 17:03
  casino stint when I was snowed in in Blackhawk, Colorado. But sounds like
• 17:08
  Bruno Mars has had quite the situation. Well or has he Well, there
• 17:12
  was a rumor yesterday that he owed fifty million dollars to MGM for gambling.
• 17:18
  He's been there for his residency since twenty sixteen, and does he have a
• 17:22
  gambling problem? According to THEMGM rep yesterday they said no, any speculation is
• 17:26
  completely false. What a crazy report that everybody ran with because two days ago
• 17:30
  I didn't even know he enjoyed gambling, you know, and then suddenly for
• 17:33
  one day I thought, oh my god, he's got a real issue,
• 17:37
  and then now we're back to, oh, he's okay, he's fine.
• 17:38
  And do we really know now how much debt did you rack up at the
• 17:42
  Blackhawk Casino? I mean, technically no debt, A little bit out of
• 17:45
  my budget, yes, yeah it was. It was four hundred dollars on
• 17:49
  the penny slots. Just I had the money. It's not like they gave
• 17:52
  you a line of credit, which is crazy that you can somehow get fifty
• 17:55
  million dollars. He was just so angry at myself, like at the end
• 17:59
  of it, because you just kept thinking like, I'm gonna get it,
• 18:02
  I'm gonna get it. Oh, I forgot to tell you the part where
• 18:03
  I sat down with twenty dollars right when we got there in one two hundred
• 18:07
  and sixty seven dollars. So then I thought, that's how it went.
• 18:11
  That is how that is. That is till it doesn't. The case is
• 18:15
  that where they get you? Is that where they get you hooked? My
• 18:19
  eighteenth birthday, I won one time and then lost it all and then that
• 18:23
  was it. It was devastating. There's a popular YouTuber called mister Beast and
• 18:27
  he has just signed a deal with Prime Video for a new reality show competition.
• 18:32
  It's called Beast Games. We don't know much about it other than it's
• 18:34
  going to feature about a thousand contestants battling it out for the largest cash prize
• 18:38
  in TV history, which will be five million dollars. Yeah, you know
• 18:41
  what they should do. They should just do a remake of that. What
• 18:45
  was that show, Legends of the Hitt Temple? Yeah, why don't we
• 18:48
  just do that again? Because that was the perfect right game show on Nickelodeon.
• 18:52
  It was Yeah, it was on right after Gut? Was it Guts?
• 18:56
  Probably right through the obstacle? Course. I love those show. The
• 19:00
  last real reality show that I got into was who wants to be a million?
• 19:03
  Game show? Or game show? Yeah, exactly, Well, Deal
• 19:06
  or No Deal had a pretty good run. I did like that. We'll
• 19:08
  pop on every once in a while and watch Family Feud. That's always kind
• 19:12
  of interesting to watch with Steve Harvey. Yeah, but I can't stand but
• 19:17
  not every day watching it. You know, I'm a big wheel watcher.
• 19:21
  But as far as I feel like there's just now it's just oversaturated. There's
• 19:23
  too many options. It wasn't like back in the day when we were all
• 19:26
  too tuning in to Regis. Who wants to be a Meal Millionaire? That
• 19:30
  was my favorite? Remember the first guy I'd ever get a million? That
• 19:34
  was his name, John Carpenter. The clip is viral sense of course,
• 19:37
  because you know he got to the million dollar question and he still had his
• 19:41
  phone a friend Lifeline, that's right, So he phoned his dad thinking that
• 19:45
  he had to ask him for help, but he knew the answer, so
• 19:48
  he just wanted to tell his dad that he was about to win a million
• 19:49
  dollars. I didnt goosebum thinking about it. Do you think the Beast Games
• 19:55
  is gonna do that for us? I don't think if he can recreate a
• 19:57
  feeling like that two like get a Medda in the morning on Big ninety eight
• 20:03
  point seven. Welcome back from your big trip to Denver, Colorado. Beautiful
• 20:07
  this time here. Yeah, we flew out last Tuesday for a little spring
• 20:11
  break vacation. As you guys probably know by now, my dad and my
• 20:14
  dad's side of the family all lives out there. So we flew it Tuesday,
• 20:18
  yep, Papo and Gigi, and we ended up getting there before the
• 20:22
  big storm. And you know, it's just like everything and even my Daddy's
• 20:26
  like, they're saying, we're gonna get dumped on, but you just never
• 20:27
  know, especially because they're in Golden which is up by like the mountains kind
• 20:32
  of, and sometimes it stays in the mountains, sometimes it doesn't. This
• 20:36
  time, it decided that it was just going to have the biggest snowstorm they've
• 20:40
  had in twelve years. You know what's funny about weather, It's no matter
• 20:42
  what we like to say it here, how unpredictable the weather is. It's
• 20:45
  everywhere everywhere. Literally everybody thinks their weather is the most unpredictable totally. So
• 20:51
  any who, we get there and we decide we're gonna do a little night
• 20:53
  away away from the kids. So we ended up getting a hotel in black
• 20:57
  Hawk, which is like a mini Vegas. Really, did you have a
• 21:00
  heart shaped hot tub in the room. We did not, But what we
• 21:03
  ended up doing is driving up there. So it's a little casino town and
• 21:08
  we checked in on Wednesday morning and we just hung out. It was just
• 21:14
  it was a great day. We were able to go up. They had
• 21:17
  a really cool like infinity pool that was looking over where it was snowing,
• 21:19
  and we're like, this is fantastic. We ended up booking like a day
• 21:23
  spa passed for the next day, and then we were supposed to head back
• 21:26
  down the mountain and we're like, okay, this is gonna be awesome.
• 21:29
  Sounds like a night of kissing, holding the hands. So we ended up
• 21:33
  going down for dinner. This is Wednesday, and the lady's like, did
• 21:38
  you guys get another room for tomorrow night? And we're like no, we're
• 21:41
  good. And of course you know my husband, he's he loves it when
• 21:45
  it snows, we'll be able to get back down. He loved he loves
• 21:51
  like the snow, he loves bad weather. He's like, ah, no
• 21:52
  problem, We're from Fargo. Of course we can drive in the snow and
• 21:56
  get back home to the kid. I don't, Oh, not a lot
• 21:59
  of mountains this down. And then the the guy that was sitting at the
• 22:03
  bar next to us goes, do you guys have chains in my assband?
• 22:07
  My husband looked at him like chains, Like why would we need chains?
• 22:12
  Like this is I don't know what he was thinking. This guy was referring
• 22:15
  to, but you have to put chains on your truck tires because they get
• 22:18
  so much snow because you're going downhill. Anyway, long story short, we
• 22:23
  go to bed early on Wednesday. I wake up at three thirty in the
• 22:26
  morning and I look outside and there is so much snow. They dropped like
• 22:32
  thirty six inches of snow. Oh my god, you guys got dumped on.
• 22:34
  It was crazy. So we walked downstairs and uh, I'm getting ready
• 22:38
  to go into the workout room and this girl looks at me and she's like,
• 22:41
  oh, how was your guys this night? We're like fine, I
• 22:45
  guess the power went out overnight in this hotel, so we weren't able to
• 22:49
  eat until like noon that day. Like they had to have somebody come in
• 22:53
  with the pilot light. Everybody had left. When we went downstairs, there
• 22:57
  was like nobody in sight. They had one bartender for the entire area and
• 23:03
  that was it. And the bartender could only serve like one drink per person
• 23:06
  every thirty minutes if that. But there was enough people where it was impossible,
• 23:11
  no idea. There was only one little restaurant open that had one server
• 23:15
  who was working for forty eight hours. The power had gone out, so
• 23:18
  people weren't able to even get into their room, so there was a line
• 23:21
  of like one hundred people. They had to escort them up to their room
• 23:23
  every single time to put their car key or their key card and redo it.
• 23:27
  It was insane, just insane. So you had the option to come
• 23:30
  home, and you decide to stay another night in the bad weather. Huh,
• 23:34
  well, it was just we couldn't come down after that. It sounds
• 23:37
  like you guys intentionally got stuck in the mountains, you know. That's what
• 23:41
  my dad said as well. He was like, oh, you guys should
• 23:42
  stay another night. I'm like, well, we have to, jeez,
• 23:47
  but it's not what you would think because you're stuck in a casino and I'm
• 23:49
  not a gambler, and I decided I wanted to play the penny slots.
• 23:52
  There was this wild Goose game that was just it was speaking, yea,
• 23:56
  it was speaking. It was squawking, it really was. It was quackond.
• 24:00
  It was one of those games that I just kept getting into. Four
• 24:04
  hundred dollars later, that goose got me. You got your goose. It
• 24:07
  sounds like, I know, you lost four hundred dollars on a penny slot
• 24:11
  machine, and my husband, you would have thought we lost a billion dollars.
• 24:15
  He was so mad, mad at me. He's like, you know
• 24:18
  what we could have done with four hundred dollars. I mean, yeah,
• 24:21
  think about it. So the rest of the trip, we finally get back
• 24:23
  down to the mountain and we take the kids to the aquarium, take them
• 24:26
  bowling, doing all this stuff, And every single time he'd look at the
• 24:30
  kids and be like, well, I could have done this, but Mom
• 24:33
  had to go to the Wild Goose. So he got me. I'm glad.
• 24:37
  I'm not a big gambler, but it's probably what had way more fun
• 24:41
  had mom not spent the entire spring break. You know, but J where
• 24:45
  you went wrong, and this coming from a gambler, is you stopped at
• 24:48
  four hundred when you should have just dug a little deeper. Got it back.
• 24:52
  And so that morning I told Nick, I go one hundred more dollars.
• 24:57
  I think I got this. I'm like, if I just do this
• 25:00
  and I put the twenty five lines with the five, if I hit that
• 25:03
  nip, that would double up super quick. And he just looked at me.
• 25:07
  He's like, you're insane. Like now it goes yeah, and now
• 25:11
  you got the bug. Now you're hooked. So we meet on Wednesdays in
• 25:15
  the church basement here in town. I'll see you then, like, get
• 25:17
  Amanda in the morning, come on, get up on Big seven. Well,
• 25:22
  you know that workplace you're probably headed to right now or you're sitting at.
• 25:26
  Turns out it might be a little outdated. According to a new survey,
• 25:30
  two thousand employed Americans were asked about the modern workplace. And I guess
• 25:36
  there are certain aspects of it that people feel like it's time to move on
• 25:38
  from. Amanda, for example, I know doesn't apply to us. But
• 25:41
  that nine to five schedule, of course, which you know because Dolly Pardon
• 25:45
  sang about it in a song, that's just what it has to be.
• 25:48
  What it is. You can't change it. She's not singing seven to three.
• 25:52
  Darn it. You know, it doesn't roll off the tongue, Sure
• 25:53
  doesn't. I can see that though. I think, you know, as
• 25:56
  much as people want to be like, oh, COVID's over, it never
• 25:59
  really happened. And a lot of the things that happened during that time has
• 26:03
  made the workforce just really flexible. A lot of people learn that they could
• 26:06
  work from home. I think there's a lot of businesses that are going,
• 26:08
  hey, overhead wise, I can shut it down and people can work from
• 26:11
  home, and they're going to be just as productive, if not more.
• 26:14
  Yeah, I mean not to mention it opens up to a much larger pool
• 26:17
  of applicants, you know, if anybody in the world can work the job.
• 26:21
  But then of course for the person the employee, makes it a lot
• 26:23
  harder to get the job because you're dealing with not just everybody in Bargo,
• 26:26
  you're dealing with everybody in the world, mister worldwide. I don't think Pitbull
• 26:32
  will be applying for any of those entry. Also, they stayed the whole
• 26:37
  getting paid every two weeks or for us twice a month, the same basically
• 26:41
  basically, but not like my wife's on the every other Friday. I'm on
• 26:45
  the twice a month, So no, we don't get paid on the same
• 26:47
  day, gotcha, But sometimes you do sometimes you don't, you know.
• 26:49
  Yeah, they say that's outdated, that people want to get paid once a
• 26:53
  week, which I've known people to do that too. I get what would
• 26:56
  be I don't know what's well the reason they say the option runs out of
• 27:00
  money approximately twelve days after receiving their paycheck, so they're not budgeting for the
• 27:06
  fifteen day window. I mean, come on, that's on you. I
• 27:08
  used to often find myself in this situation, and a wise man once said,
• 27:14
  ah, you got a little too much month left at the end of
• 27:15
  the paycheck. Huh Oh, that doesn't bother me. I don't think that
• 27:19
  that's outdated at all, because, yeah, it's not going to mean you
• 27:22
  have more money, it's meaning correct. Yeah, if that was the case,
• 27:25
  then I'd be rooting for it. I mean, you got more more
• 27:27
  time. If you do get crazy, then you get to reload sooner.
• 27:32
  I mean, I'm always one who's like, just because we've always done it
• 27:34
  this way, and reminder, when we say we've always done it this way,
• 27:37
  we're talking about what the last hundred years when the earth is a gazillion
• 27:41
  years old, So really it's not the case. You know, things are
• 27:45
  changing, Get on board or be left behind. Yeah, I would be
• 27:48
  all for because we do it here. And there's a lot of different places
• 27:52
  that have Fridays from May until what is it like September at least August.
• 27:59
  It's a half a day on Fridays, but you work longer days. Blows
• 28:03
  down at noon, baby, because it is a lake season. So it's
• 28:06
  funny, how you know, some people in other parts are like, Okay,
• 28:08
  that's really weird. Well it's not because we are used to that,
• 28:11
  but a four day work week just in general. I was reading an article
• 28:15
  a couple of weeks ago how a lot of people say people are more productive.
• 28:18
  There was a lot of people who started doing that during COVID and it
• 28:22
  hasn't changed anything. It just depends on what you do. If you're working
• 28:25
  at a business that needs to be open Monday through Friday, then of course
• 28:29
  you can't do that. Or if you're obviously an emergency worker. My dad
• 28:32
  was a firefighter, you know, and that schedule was like, while risking
• 28:36
  your life, the schedule is pretty good. You know, you're working twenty
• 28:37
  four hour shifts every other day for three days and then you get four days
• 28:42
  off. I mean, it was crazy, oh interesting, and so you
• 28:45
  take one day off, use a day of vacation. Suddenly you've got six
• 28:48
  days off in that. Not to mention nurses again, doing the Lord's work
• 28:52
  totally we need you couldn't do it. And I know, a twelve hour
• 28:56
  shift doing what we do like no problem because I'm just sitting here on my
• 28:59
  rear end. If you're up in walking around constantly, you know, helping
• 29:03
  patients who are sick and dying probably be a little different experience. That said,
• 29:07
  doing three twelve hour ships a week, I think I could get down.
• 29:10
  If that's urns that. What would you ideally? If we had an
• 29:14
  opportunity to change it, what would be your ideal? I honestly, I've
• 29:17
  always said this, I would do two twenties twenty. That's I would work
• 29:22
  two twenty hour days and that would be so I meant as far as like
• 29:26
  time frame, like we wake up, our alarm goes off at three thirty,
• 29:30
  we're on air from five thirty six to ten. It would be seven
• 29:33
  am Monday until which is two am the next day. Do you think we
• 29:38
  should call our boss and see if we could do that. I would do
• 29:41
  this show seven to seven to two every day. I don't know if that's
• 29:44
  a lot of us, but that'd be perfect. There's a lot of us
• 29:48
  seven to noon. If I'm a little bit, it's already enough of us.
• 29:52
  You know, you think people are already like she's back from vacation.
• 29:56
  Turn I'm kidding, I'm kidding. Yeah, they're thinking, well, how
• 29:59
  about you guys do the show from midnight to one? Aham, I'm good
• 30:03
  like in the morning, big naty eight points seven. So the last conversation
• 30:07
  we had just moments ago, Amanda left off by saying that you now wear
• 30:10
  pajamas to bed because your kids get in your bed. You don't want to
• 30:12
  be naked. Correct, So yes, So that indicates to me how you
• 30:15
  might feel about this story. But I don't know if you saw the meteorologist
• 30:19
  on the Today Show, not that one, not the rocker, Dylan Dryer,
• 30:25
  who's a lady named Dylan. Okay's familiar. She's forty two, and
• 30:29
  she revealed that she showers with her three children, all boys aging from seven
• 30:37
  to two years old. She's got seven year old Calvin, four year old
• 30:41
  Oliver, and two year old Rusty. Love it great names. Gotta love
• 30:48
  a kidnamed Rusty. Okay, but she's saying, you know, it's the
• 30:52
  most efficient way, which I guess totally. But she says, when at
• 30:56
  night she showers, if she can get all three in the show with her,
• 31:00
  so everybody gets bathed, that wants great. Now, she does say
• 31:03
  she puts a towel on pretty quickly. She doesn't linger. But it's not
• 31:07
  just the shower that they're naked, she says. The boys run around naked
• 31:10
  all day long. They love it. They're proud of their bodies and their
• 31:14
  parts. See and you can look at this and go, oh my gosh,
• 31:18
  d gross, all of those I guess for me, I mean,
• 31:21
  I uh, we're a pretty open family, you know what I mean,
• 31:23
  Like I'm gonna change in front of my kid. I have a girl who
• 31:26
  will be five, and I have a little boy who's three and a half,
• 31:30
  and they're very familiar with what boobs are and all that. I mean,
• 31:33
  that's just that's a life. And you know, yes, you try
• 31:37
  to throw a towel on, you try to do, but ultimately my kids
• 31:40
  are gonna see me. It's also an opportunity to talk about, Hey,
• 31:42
  these are your parts, these are for you. This is what it is.
• 31:47
  As far as the showering goes one hundred percent, would I have Briggs
• 31:49
  pop in real quick and rintse off and do if it's easier that if he
• 31:52
  needs a bath or a shower and it's not happening or we're in a hurry,
• 31:56
  would not phase me up there? Nowbody's three, What about when he
• 31:59
  was seven? I guess if you look at it and you have a situation
• 32:02
  where you would make it weird or if you think it's weird in that way,
• 32:07
  yeah, okay, then that's gross. Yeah. Right. For me,
• 32:09
  it's like, no, these are our bodies. We're quick taking a
• 32:12
  shower, We're doing this. Hey, I will say, from the perspective
• 32:15
  of me being a boy having a mom, zero interest in seeing my mom
• 32:19
  naked. I mean, but of course you're gonna hear this headline and go,
• 32:22
  oh my gosh, a mom with three boys just showering as though she's
• 32:24
  in there enjoying it and making it sick and twisted. Or no, she's
• 32:28
  probably like, hey, I'm a meteorologist and I have to wake up at
• 32:31
  three am, so I have a few minutes with my kids. So I'm
• 32:35
  gonna throw them in the shower. We're gonna scrub it upub real quick and
• 32:37
  move on with our night. Oh yeah, we had a there's a photo
• 32:40
  that haunts me to this day of me and my siblings taking a bath together.
• 32:45
  You know, because because the photo is a little my sister's suits.
• 32:50
  I bet I think I'm like six and my brother's in high school. You
• 32:53
  know, it's just it was the age range was a little weird. But
• 32:58
  again, you're looking at it now and going, oh my gosh, But
• 33:01
  there wasn't a time when you were growing up going oh my gosh. Apparently
• 33:07
  no, we seem to be having a great time in there, scram a tough dumb
