Last Day Of School Memories · Podcast - Big 98.7

0:00
Hey, today's the last day school. You said that already, but it's
0:02
just such a fun day. It's like, even though I'm not in school,
0:05
I still like can feel it in my blood, you know, I
0:07
can feel in my feel to my veins, the last day of school energy.
0:11
It is not your locker, yeah, unlike any energy. So you
0:15
know, hat's off to you. If you're a kid and you're wrapping up
0:17
school. Maybe you're even a senior, and that's an emotional day too.
0:20
You remember the last day of your senior year, Yeah, kind of I
0:23
felt like I was in Dawson's Creek. I mean we were walking out of
0:26
the school and me and my two best friends were about to leave, and
0:30
we used to like always our senior year because there's a lot of screw around
0:32
time. Of course, you unless you're really taking it seriously, but yeah,
0:35
it's most of the day are screwing around. And so we'd always play
0:38
this basketball game in the gym, like one of those like three person you
0:41
know, kind of not lightning but something like that. Yeah, And so
0:44
we'd always play that in our senior year. And then the last day,
0:47
we're walking out of the gym, big empty gym, and Glendon. It
0:50
was poetic. There was a ball sitting there in the on the gym floor
0:53
and we thought, you guys, one more We played a game and walked
0:57
down. Did you cry? I remember crying on the lastday school, but
1:00
if you're like happy tears, because every single one of my girlfriends and our
1:03
friends pretty much going to different places. Yeah, we knew we had the
1:07
summer to party, have fun and do whatever, but ultimately that was it,
1:11
Like we were all going to different states, all of it. So
1:15
it was really, well, you got the heck out of there. Yeah,
1:18
went to Denver, went to Denver. One of my girlfriends went to
1:21
Drake. Another couple of them went up to ndsu Fergus Falls. I mean,
1:25
just all over the place. But the last day of school, the
1:26
last week of school really even growing up, like there was all these like
1:30
traditions you would do and you know, obviously there's not a lot of actual
1:33
schooling going on, so it's so fun. I mean, what's your favorite
1:34
like last week of school memory? Nothing that really sticks out. I remember
1:38
sometimes doing like water slide stuff when I was younger. Now tell me more
1:44
about water slide stuff, elaborate please, what is it? You're not allowed
1:55
to share my imagination going wild. Say things yeah, like no water slide
2:06
stuff just like you do, you know, like just doing a water slide.
2:12
Was there one in town? No? No, like slip and slide
2:15
Okay, well that's different slipping slide stuff, slipping slide stuff like I just
2:21
I don't know. They're just very there's very water activities. I told you
2:23
about the water gun situation, like water gun fights, and you just squashed
2:28
that. I mean, it was ridiculous. Imagine like the high school kids
2:30
driving around and their stupid pontiacs like squirting water guns out of the door or
2:35
whatever. Oh gosh, we just kind to throw water balloons too. That
2:38
was the thing. Water balloons, not water guns. Yes, the water
2:40
balloons. I'm sorry. A bunch of the rascals were driving the bed of
2:44
somebody's truck and throw water balloons. You're uh getting people really worked up here.
2:49
A lot of emotions. I'm sure they're giggling over the water stuff here.
2:52
But I just got a text here from seven eight to eight, last
2:54
four digits and said, Pike, you're making me cry. I got this
3:00
girl makes me dry. What made the basketball store was emotional? It really
3:06
was, I think back. I mean, I'm one of these weirdos that
3:07
like sort of enjoyed school, you know, I'm not. Yeah, I
3:12
was excited to move on. But man, it was a good time.
3:15
It was a good time. It was yeah, the good old traditions.
3:17
I feel like a lot of people now when you pick up your kids,
3:20
you go and do like ice cream or something on the last day of school.
3:23
In elementary school, we would the last day school, the whole class
3:27
got to walk down Park Avenue and Glenden all the way to the Tasty Freeze,
3:30
not that one, the one in Glendon. It was like a fish
3:35
out of water. Yeah, you like having your teacher and your other classmates,
3:38
but you weren't in the school. It was like a weird, kind
3:40
of cool feeling water slide stuff. Tell me more about the water dying to
3:46
know in the morning, Big Nutty eight points seven. I think we can
3:49
all agree. I mean there's a lot of like cliche date nights, dinners,
3:53
movies, candles. Yeah, absolutely, but I think we can all
3:57
agree that there is nothing more romantic than laundry. And this is what generations
4:02
he is realizing, as these young kids now are finding that you know,
4:06
it's rather expensive to go out enjoy a nice bougie dinner when you're trying to
4:11
be fancy. So what they've decided to do instead, and this is becoming
4:15
more popular, is have laundromat dates to help them save money and fall in
4:19
love. Are you kidding me? No, that isn't happening. So basically,
4:24
you know, you consider the cost of a meal, drinks, We're
4:27
talking tens of hundreds of dollars. Meanwhile, you can spend three dollars on
4:31
a load with the loved one chat the whole time, and you know,
4:39
just think about it. There's all sorts of conversation points. You've got,
4:42
like a load of laundry, you've got about depending on the load that you've
4:46
got, you know, I usually do like the quick wash. I'm a
4:49
twenty minute quick wash for a lot of items at home, though exactly so,
4:55
I don't know what the laundry matt like, what the options are,
4:59
but that's minimum. Probably a twenty minute conversation is like another hour, you
5:04
know what I mean, It's a good healthy amount of time to be there
5:08
getting to know somebody, getting to know their laundry. So are they sitting
5:11
on the dryers while they're talking, crouching down on the floor. I mean,
5:14
you see this in like rom coms all the time, right, remember
5:16
back in the day, like I think Big Daddy, like all those Sandler
5:19
movies, they were just always at the laundro mat. And it's funny that
5:23
you say this because you know, we get listings of like all the new
5:26
businesses that are coming to the area, and there's like four new laundry mat
5:30
places coming to the area. That is true? Is that? Why is
5:33
this like a whole new thing? I mean, imagine sitting down but being
5:36
a cute guy and thinking, that's quite the load you've got. You fold
5:43
your laundry. I've never seen a young man with so many different pairs of
5:46
gens. I will tell you, of course, way out of the dating
5:50
world. If I knew a guy was going to be really good at doing
5:55
laundry, folding it, putting it away, oh all of that. I
5:58
mean, really that's a problem though you're not You don't know a whole lot
6:00
about him until you know if they put their clothes away, you know,
6:03
you wash on, you know they drying, But when they get home,
6:06
what are they doing? Well, the very least at the laundromat. They
6:11
do absolutely take it out of the dryer, so like that's a big step,
6:14
you know. True. And if you just look over and you saw
6:16
a man folding a towel the correct way, Heartbike Amana in the Morning,
6:24
I know, Amanda Stills. Let's see, let's see, hang on,
6:28
I forgot to say the name of the show, piking Amanda in the Morning.
6:33
Thanks, It's never too late to correct an error. Travis Kelsey,
6:40
is he looking to do some more acting roles? The answer is yes,
6:43
of course, he's hosting this game show. Heck, is he done well?
6:46
He's he must be in the running for a lot of different things.
6:49
They just signed up for it. It's called Grow to Skier or something like
6:53
that. I don't know, some show I had never heard of. Let
6:55
me look up his profile on the International Movie Database. Please do see what's
6:59
on there, and please tell me Happy Gilmore Too is not on there yet.
7:03
Yesterday on his podcast they were talking about it. That was Kelsey will
7:06
be announced as part of the cast of Abby Gilmore Too. WHOA. I
7:13
didn't even know there was a job opening for If there is, I'll be
7:18
an extra. Trying to think of what role and maybe the old one.
7:24
Would I be the jack guy. I'd be the one heckling from the crowd
7:27
that probably feels like the right role for you at Trav. And you know
7:30
how much I love the Kelsey brothers before Taylor Swift. He was even a
7:34
look in his eyes get off from man, would you? I mean,
7:36
seriously love it. I'm also more of a Jason Kelsey fan than a Trav
7:41
fan, but this would just be maybe too much for me. Well,
7:44
he does actually have an IMDb profile, Amanda Okay. He has previously appeared
7:47
as an actor in Moon Base eight. He appeared on one episode of the
7:54
twenty twenty TV series, and he's also currently in production for the upcoming TV
8:00
series Grotesqueery. That's the one. That's the one I was trying to pronounce.
8:03
Oh yeah, I think it's Grotesquerie. Anyway, I don't know what
8:07
he's doing in there, but he's trying to do too much. I mean,
8:09
he's obviously preparing for life after football. One. Yeah, I mean,
8:13
of course, there's a lot of people going, well, if you
8:16
and Tay are fine and you guys end up getting married, life after football
8:20
is going to be a okay for you. Buddy, that's true. You
8:22
know he'll buddy, you don't want to be just you know, Elea leaching
8:24
on to her for sure. And you know what, already he's he probably
8:28
has enough money to move forward. But now he's living an incredibly lavish lifestyle.
8:33
Imagine that too, like the way he's living his life with Taylor Swift
8:37
because she has so much money. It is not how he normally probably would
8:43
have. Bet. It's a great point, Amanda, I mean, think
8:46
about that. Sorry, I've mentally moved on to the next story. Okay.
8:50
Rolling Stone magazine yesterday released an article and I guess they did their own
8:54
six month investigation about everything going on with Diddy. They reach out to about
8:58
fifty people who are close to him, they said, the majority of people
9:01
fifty people. Yeah, they were like a majority of people would not if
9:03
you would not talk to them. Oh that's easy for you, So you
9:07
try to reach out fifty people I'm close to close to me. Just you
9:13
and your boy group. You've got your band, which is already what six
9:16
of you, five, five of us. Yes, I'm just saying fifty
9:18
is a big you're golf league boys of the Doppelganger or whatever. Your dong
9:22
whatever left leg. You're saying it with a tone of disrespect. My golf
9:28
league is known as the dong leg left Golf League. Okay, yes,
9:31
And so how many are in that? Is it? Twelve? Twelve?
9:33
Okay? So doing the math, we're way over twenty now next we even
9:37
got to family exactly. So anyway, going back to did he yesterday?
9:43
Some of the headlines and it's just disturbing. Did he allegedly whopped a college
9:46
girlfriend with a belt in front of screaming friends. He allegedly beat a record
9:52
executive for dating his ex comporter. He was waiting outside of MTV's TRL to
9:56
try to win Jennifer Lopez back. I kind of love bombing people if they
10:00
were to try to leave him. It's just that's the least bad. But
10:01
they're all terrible. I Mean, this guy just sounds like human trash.
10:05
And the fact he's got away with it for so long, and how many
10:07
people knew and were protecting him. Yeah, and it kind of feels like
10:11
still trying to protect him, of course, Yeah, because I'm sure they're
10:15
benefiting from it, of course, absolutely. And Ellen, we knew she
10:18
was going to be wrapping up her comedy career with that Netflix special, but
10:20
she's also going out on tour, her final tour, Ellen's Last Stand Up
10:26
is going on. The pre sale starts today, but it is going to
10:28
be hitting twenty seven cities already starting June nineteenth, starting in San Diego.
10:33
It's actually ending in Minneapolis on August seventeenth. Amazing to me, though,
10:37
that ticket pre sale is today and it's already sold out in eight cities.
10:43
How huh. I'm not really good at math and understanding, but that seems
10:46
impossible. That reminds me of when I'm trying to book a tea time for
10:50
Saturday at Rose Creek and they open up at seven am sharp, and I
10:54
refresh the page and what do you know, there are no tea times available.
10:58
Oh, speaking of that, it's Thursday. Are you not golfing this
11:01
weekend? No? Oh, Fargo Marathon and are usually at six fifty eight
11:05
in our studio on a Thursday. It goes think, think, or makes
11:09
whatever alarm noise you have so you can jump online. Unfortunately, Amanda,
11:13
it's a working weekend for this guy. But what's new? Please? Amanda?
11:20
In the morning on Big seven? All right, Pike, are you
11:24
ready? For this. You want your relationship to last. I mean that's
11:28
kind of the goal in life. You want your relationship to have a lot
11:31
of goals, Amanda, that being one of them. Yes, right,
11:33
But I think there comes a point even if you've been in a relationship for
11:35
a long time, things start bothering you, maybe gives you the ick.
11:39
The ick it gives me. The ick is the phrase the ick, and
11:43
my wife's really embraced it a good sign. I had not heard about it
11:46
until you kind of started using it because your wife did. And uh,
11:50
it's hot right now. But they just released the top ten quote IX that
11:54
can result to a breakup. Uh oh, let's see if you're breaking any
11:58
of these rules, are I guess I've been told I was giving her the
12:00
more than once, and so let's see if the reason is on here.
12:03
Really Yeah, yeah, I troubling to say the least, Amanda, I
12:07
know, have you fixed these problems or do you just act as though whatever
12:11
I'm aware of it now at least, which is step one. Well,
12:13
I think that's important that that's what keeps marriages and relationships healthy. You have
12:18
to at least be honest. You can't just stew over something. Yeah,
12:22
that in a good once and again, all right, here we go.
12:26
Number ten on the list is pretending to be knowledgeable about something. If anybody
12:31
in our relationship does that is my wife. I tell her all the time,
12:33
like, there are certain people you might know like this. It is
12:35
okay to just not know something. It's okay to not have the answer or
12:41
just not be informed about something. But the last thing you need to do
12:43
is just sit. They're gonna be oh I think it's this, or like
12:46
I'm pretty sure this is the answer. I try to say you don't know.
12:50
Yeah. I just don't embrace that as far as like, huh what,
12:52
I don't know what you're talking about. Some people just can't say I
12:56
don't know. Yeah. Another ick factor that can result of breakups living with
13:01
your parents. Oh that's again. I don't know why that's not number ten.
13:05
That would be really challenging. I mean, there are certain circumstances.
13:09
Yeah, maybe a short term situation, but just in general, didn't you
13:13
stay at your stepdad's house quite a bit, like on the weekends at the
13:16
lake or whatever. Oh you're like yes, right, oh you're I'm just
13:20
I like to grease amand up a bit because the lake is her stepdad's house.
13:26
Well, yeah, it was like to the lake. I don't know
13:28
why, why be so weird? Just jealous because I don't have a Lake
13:33
May home. Many time they thought you guys had a place up on Cotton
13:35
or a spot. No, don't you have a little spot on Cotton.
13:39
No, my friend does a cabin on Cotton Lake. My family we've always
13:43
done like the camper at a resort, like you know, you're just so,
13:46
you're just in a campground on a lake, which is great, like
13:48
totally you know, we don't need the house, you like, you're there
13:50
there for the lake. So it's got everything you need. And obviously if
13:54
you didn't have a inherited cabin, it's a it's a nice option for you.
13:58
Totally absolute, all right, here we go. Number eight is referring
14:01
to themselves in third person. I don't think i'd last a day. I
14:07
don't know how Pike feels about that, but no, nobody in the nobody
14:11
in the real world doesn't. And so I don't know why that's on the
14:13
list. But if you did that, give you is gonna be icky?
14:16
Well, if you do, it'd be a silly thing to do it sound
14:18
funny? If anything Number seven is talking to loudly, they ain't gonna be
14:24
mean. Uh uh. That is my single biggest pet peeve. You complained
14:28
about this daily. And I don't know if it's just the environment we work
14:31
because it's just a bunch of radio people. Yeah, very loud. It
14:35
is loud, like you can hear conversations. We'll walk into the morning,
14:37
and oddly enough, you and I are probably the most quiet, And it's
14:41
just like wild. Some people just don't have an awareness of how how loud
14:46
they need to talk for the environment, And I don't know what it is.
14:48
I think it might have been that psychic that we upset in New York
14:52
City when we were visiting that one time. That put a hex on me
14:54
that the rest of my life, every bar or restaurant I go into,
14:58
I'm gonna be seated next to the loudest talker in the world, somebody who
15:01
laughs so unbelievably loud, comically loud. I'll hear these voices. I'll think
15:07
I couldn't even if you said, be as loud as you can, I
15:11
don't think I could possibly produce the sound that some people. You know what
15:15
I mean? Maybe I'm just a little sensitive to it. I think so,
15:18
I think I might be a sensitive to it. Another one on the
15:20
list interrupting people. I'm bad at that. Oh, very annoying. Yeah,
15:24
and it happens. Bad table manners. Table manners, yes, one
15:30
of those. You see, you might have bad table manner. Really,
15:33
I say please and thank you all the time, please and think you It
15:35
should just be a gift locked in. If I need the pepper, I
15:37
ain't going to reach. I know that I'm gonna say, hey, can
15:39
you please pass the pepper? That was like ingrained in us as a child.
15:43
Absolutely? Yes, But now are my elbows on the table? Sure?
15:46
Because that's a stupid outdated thing. Who cares if my elbows are on
15:50
the data did not ever come back? I know it's absurd. So that
15:54
and other than that, Yeah, I eat quickly and possibly in a messy
15:58
manner. But again it's none of your business, all right, no sense
16:02
of humor? You just fail at life if you have no sense of humor.
16:06
I'm going to struggle. Yeah, just in general, having a messy
16:10
houser living space. See you later, asta lavista with you. No,
16:17
Yeah, I don't know. I think my wife and I are equal amounts
16:18
of messy at times. I mean, we do like to clean, and
16:22
you know, we like to keep things relatively tidy, but also okay with
16:26
occasionally letting things get slip a little bit, like if you're busy, yeah,
16:32
or if I want my entire wardrobe lying on the side of my side
16:34
of the bed, that's my business. She doesn't that doesn't bother her.
16:38
I'm not saying it doesn't bother her. Oh got it. I think she
16:41
doesn't like when it grows to be such a pile that she has to sort
16:44
of like high step over it to get to the bathroom. That probably is
16:48
the issue You're going to be a problem and the last one on the ick
16:49
factors if you want to keep your relationship going strong. Poor personal hygiene stanger.
16:56
Yeah, what's the grossest thing about Nick personal hygiene? Wis he has
17:00
really coarse hair and just so when he shaves, like he shaves his beard
17:06
and all that, and he just he thinks he's cleaning up after himself.
17:10
But I can see those little hairs everywhere. I don't know what. Even
17:12
though we have like the Jack and Jill bathroom, it doesn't matter, It's
17:15
still there. Like it's just it's everywhere. Something about those little beard hairs.
17:21
You can swear to God that you're looking and that you think you've cleaned
17:23
everyone up, and then you walk away and they just appear. It's like
17:26
they come out of the ceramics. They're everywhere. So that's that is going
17:30
to be gross and every once in a while that aim. I mean that
17:37
aim. It's like, dude, the toilet bowl is the same size for
17:42
everybody, like a minute in the morning, big nuddy points of all the
17:49
apps on your phone, of course, there's a few that you go to
17:52
mostly. You know, I've deleted Twitter. I try not to be on
17:55
Facebook too much. But Reddit is my guilty pleasure. Love Reddit really of
18:00
the app for that. Absolutely Yeah. I went years without realizing how great
18:03
it is, and yesterday I'm perusing Reddit when I see nineties parents were just
18:10
getting ripped apart on this. On this Reddit thread, basically, people are
18:15
asking kids now, are what the heck were nineties parents thinking when it came
18:19
to feeding their kids, Because nowadays, I'm mad, you're probably maybe realizing
18:23
this with your two young kids, Like there's a little more pressure to have
18:26
healthy food and you know, the things that kids are bringing into school for
18:30
one percent. I follow a couple of people on Instagram, and I think
18:34
that's kind of where that influence is. I had just told you last week.
18:38
I argue with my stepdad all the time. He is like, he
18:41
gets like V eight splash for the kids, and he's like, Amanda,
18:44
it says right on here full of vitamin C and looks at the thing and
18:48
I'm like, and look at the sugar and all like that. You know,
18:52
red dye is like a huge thing, and we try to give our
18:53
kids just as much natural food as possible. I am not a crazy I
18:57
mean, I'm not a crazy person. Kids are eating the freezies doing all
19:00
this stuff, but I try to do more of stay away from that as
19:04
much as I can. But it's it's hard. It's hard, and especially
19:07
think back to the nineties. I don't know how hard it was for parents
19:11
then, but this thread, people are just ripping parents for things like hot
19:15
dogs instant. But think about what you were eating back in the nineties.
19:18
Salisbury steak, microwave meals, Oh my gosh. When I would go visit
19:22
my dad in Colorado. My stepmom is not a good cook. She just
19:26
never really does, really, And so she was working full time, and
19:29
so I'd go there for like six weeks out of the summer and I had
19:32
that was it? Yeah, Like straight up you'd get the like hungry man
19:37
meals if you have the little disgusting potatoes and whatever. Yeah, there was
19:41
probably like you might have gone weeks without having a single vegetable during the nine
19:45
yea And things like gogurt. Remember go gurt. That's pure kind of a
19:49
thing, is it really? Yeah, every once in a while my kids
19:52
like those frozen, but they make got healthier version of it. I know,
19:57
somebody, if you're listening, you happened to be driving around with a
20:00
frozen gogurt. Why don't you bring that bad boy into the studio. We'll
20:04
get you some tickets to something, thank you. But then also, I
20:10
mean, just the drinks alone. In the nineties, remember just all day,
20:14
every day in the summer, taking out the big thing of sugar in
20:15
a measuring cup and making a big thing of kool aid. That or we'd
20:19
make kool Aid ice cubes. That was always super fun to put in les
20:25
Tang Shasta that was our go to because it was so cheap. Was the
20:27
Shasta. What was the not mountain dew but sublant a surge. Yeah,
20:37
then had a quick moment in the sun and my god that it was good.
20:40
But it was sixty grams of sugar. Yeah, insane, it should
20:42
be I legal. I'm thinking of just like right after softball you'd go to
20:47
the convenience store or the whatever gas station, like the long laughy taffys,
20:52
the fun dips. I mean, everything was just full of sugar, absolutely,
20:56
even now, and I'm so much more aware of it now. Of
20:57
course, then when you're a kid, you're not paying attention. I was
21:00
at the grocery store and my intentions were so good, Amanda. I was
21:03
hungry, and I knew I wasn't gonna be able to get to dinner without
21:04
eating something. So I thought, why don't I get a protein bar at
21:07
the growth, you know, packed with protein. Yeah. So I'm trying
21:11
to find them, and I finally find one from Gatorade. And maybe that
21:15
was my first mistake, was getting a food item from the brand Gatorade.
21:18
But they make this protein bar and it was like, oh, twenty two
21:21
grams of protein. I'm great, buy it, start eating it, and
21:23
I realized I'm like this is this just tastes like sugar. This tastes like
21:29
a candy bar. And so I look at the back of it. There's
21:30
thirty two grams of sugar. Like this has no business being in the health
21:36
session. And the front of it says twenty two grams of press. I
21:38
mean that's the headline. Yeah, all right, lance Pants, this is
21:41
what I'm telling you, Like every weekend. What did you just call me?
21:44
I called you my stepdad, Lance Pants. I guess thank you for
21:48
letting me clarify that. People were like, wow, that was a really
21:52
weird thing to say. Now here's what you need to know. Well,
21:55
I know tomorrow is the end of May, but the city leaders in Fargo
21:59
want to remind people that no mo May is really not good. So if
22:03
you haven't mode your lawn, get to mow in your lawn. First of
22:06
all, it violates city ordinances. That should be enough. But they're also
22:08
saying the whole campaign encourages people not to mow their lawns during the month of
22:11
May to help early season pollinators. But Fargo cast public health officials are saying,
22:17
actually it's a health hazard because of the voles, mice, insects,
22:19
and other attractions. I mean, so you I've read things like this too,
22:22
that it's not doing what you think it might be doing for the environment.
22:26
I don't know, but I think people just mostly use it as an
22:27
excuse to go a month without mowing their lawn, which I guess I don't
22:32
understand. There's something about taking pride in your lawn. Like my husband gets
22:36
those lines the way they are. I'm like, way to go. He's
22:40
a big law guy, isn't he? He is a big long guy.
22:41
I love that smell though fresh cut grass. Oh you know what I really
22:45
love is like then the kids track it in the house and stuff. It's
22:48
so great, all those fresh clippings. It's so nice, love it,
22:52
and it's funny. He always does it, like right after we clean the
22:53
houses. You're coming off as a little complaining. I was kidding, No,
22:57
I do. I love. I'd rather sit there and watch a beautiful
23:00
look out at a beautiful lawn. Yeah, just sniff it, big,
23:06
big long guy, Like, get my nose in the grass. I love
23:10
a Yeah. Well, I mean listen, I golf all the time,
23:11
and there's nothing better than a freshly Finally, they've hacked down the rough at
23:15
Rose Creek, you know, because it was so wet there, so my
23:19
god, trying to hack out of there. You know, Thank god I've
23:22
hit most of the fairways last night in the league, so I didn't have
23:25
to worry about the long stuff. It's funny you bring up the uh people.
23:29
No, No, that's not funny. That's expected usually on a Thursday
23:33
on this program Big the dub By the Way, I see a lot of
23:37
people complaining over in West Fargo, Like even in our neighborhood where the city
23:40
is supposed to mow. It's just really really tall, not looking so good.
23:42
But I think it's because of the rain. I would assume otherwise,
23:45
I'll send an email here in a couple of weeks if they don't get to
23:48
it the city. I've never been that person exactly. So I've heard you
23:52
on calls with customer service. Oh please, you strike me as that person.
23:56
I don't even call customer When have I been on a call? You
24:00
were on with the phone company one time? This might have been years ago.
24:03
A phone plan. Yeah, we were on a phone plan, a
24:06
family plan or whatever the heck they called it. But you were very rude.
24:10
Okay, probably we were very safe with some bucks. Very let me
24:12
speak to your manager. Put on, put somebody on the phone that can
24:15
actually do something. Hey, I was there when you were talking to the
24:18
car wash people. Bike. Yeah, that was a legitimate issue. I
24:22
had a vowed reason to take them to small claim score. I was I
24:26
had money stolen from me. Okay, all right, charges had been dropped
24:30
against Scottie Scheffler. We knew probably this was gonna happen, but officially happened
24:34
yesterday. I don't think anybody's surprised by that. All right, Tonight is
24:38
the night, of course, it is big happy hours. If you wanted
24:41
a little t Wolves, pregame and join us over at the local seven to
24:44
one, or just come celebrate the last day of school whatever it is.
24:47
That's from four until six o'clock. But do not forget t Wolves game five
24:52
seven thirty it home. This is like game do we have that because we
24:57
know you can't bet on it. We know you have like kind of whatever
25:00
energy they do. Well, this is really it's kind of the ball is
25:03
in. Some may say bike your your that's the funniest thing you've ever heard
25:11
of. He's just killing killing you right now. That's pretty good. Yeah,
25:15
it's a stupid pun balls in my cord. I suppose when you go
25:22
to the I don't know, we don't go to the bar. Do they
25:25
win or going to the bar? Well, the last time I watched the
25:29
first half of the bar, so to me, going to the bar for
25:32
at least the first half seems like a slam dunk. Okay, all right,
25:34
now you like that this is so bad? I can't you know sometimes
25:41
when you think you're so funny, and I just I wonder if people are
25:45
just chuckling. Probably not gonna be raining, rainy today, cloudy, good
25:52
day for a ball game. For a ball game, he shoots, he
25:57
scores. Now, I'm just saying basketball swinging a miss. This whole program
26:03
today, Appreciate it, just like it a minute in the morning. Come
26:06
on, get up on Big seven. You all know somebody who likes to
26:11
let you know how busy they are. Something they call busy bragging now been
26:17
labeled and it is the most annoying thing. Right, We're all busy.
26:21
Everybody's got something going on. Even if you think somebody, oh they don't
26:25
they don't have kids, or they don't they're surely their job isn't stressful.
26:29
It's like, right, the human brain, no matter what situation you're in,
26:32
it's gonna find things to be stressed about. And you're gonna be busy
26:34
no matter what. Busy in different ways obviously, but yes, Like if
26:38
I hear somebody sometimes they're complaining to me about something and I'm just thinking,
26:42
shut up. You went to bed last night when I woke up and I'm
26:47
having a conversation with you, and it's seven o'clock at night, you know
26:49
what I mean? Absolutely, And I have two kids and I'm going through
26:52
so it's easy in your brain to kind of like, you don't say it
26:56
out loud, but you kind of like it's your shut up. Yeah,
27:00
here's the news, though it's not doing you any favors. If you're the
27:03
one that's constantly talking about how swamped you are and how tired and how busy,
27:07
you just don't have time for any that they did a whole study over
27:10
at the renowned University of Georgia Terry, Oh my gosh, what was a
27:17
tech or something which no, no mar but never heard of it, like
27:19
a guy named Terry. Anyway, they're conduct to the study. You are
27:23
right, and it turns out people who do this busy bragging were less likely
27:29
to receive help from coworkers when they were legitimately overloaded, So you're not doing
27:33
yourself any papers there, and they were just overall less liked by their coworkers.
27:37
I can see that. Yeah, yeah, I mean it's tempting,
27:41
but uh, just don't do that. Don't do that. The person always
27:44
running around hustling, going, it's just like it's just always go mode,
27:48
and they're busier than everybody else, and they're taking everybody else's the consideration of
27:53
what everybody else is doing, because usually you you think that they're not doing
27:56
anything. Maybe, but it's like, hey, we're doing stuff. We're
27:59
just not telling everybody about every move we're making exactly. But then sometimes you
28:03
got to play the game a little bit. You gotta at least, you
28:07
know, be tactical about letting people know that you are doing something right.
28:10
You don't need to be like overboard, Oh my god, it's so busy,
28:12
but you know, dropping in little things here and there about what you've
28:15
been doing or doing the George Costanza and I know you're not a Seinfeld fan,
28:18
which you should be doing it thrown in prison for, but Basically,
28:22
as you're sitting at your desk or at your work, if you just look
28:25
annoyed, it sends the message to people they're like, God, this guy
28:27
has got a lot going on, you know what I mean, Look at
28:30
me right now. I know you can't see me because you're probably listening on
28:33
the radio, but it's just like, just like just stressed, got it,
28:37
a lot of hands on your forehead, you know, do the thinking
28:41
about constantly thinking? People walk by like, oh God, I don't want
28:45
to bother him. What's he got a big report do by noon? Or
28:48
if you just probably shut your office door, it's like, oh, that
28:52
is intense, even though in the morning, Big naty eight point seven,
29:00
Piking a man in the morning, a big ninety eight point seven, Today's
29:03

30:30

30:36
room for the actual experience itself because you know for sure whatever it was is
30:40

30:42
VIP is even better. That's right, the low standards experience. Kelsey,
30:47

30:48
Wonderful. Thank you. You're probably wondering to yourself, how can I win?
30:52
Can I win? Next? Tomorrow? Morning? Man? I think
30:55
we do it again, lucky ducks. Probably a few more chances. That's
31:00
right. Clock is ticking. I get a Manda in the morning. Seven.
31:04
The Olympics are once again going to great lengths to prevent athletes from having
31:11
relations. I remember hearing about this and is it Does it have anything to
31:17
do with the cots. Yeah, so they have what they're calling anti anti
31:22
the S word. Can. I don't even know what I can do.
31:25
I should read the man, you, I should read the employee handbook.
31:27
These beds that are designed to not have intimacy take place on them for just
31:33
one person. But you gotta think these athletes, I mean, they've managed
31:38
to get to the top of their sport. I think it get created.
31:41
I gotta think they can find a way, because lord knows, we all
31:45
had at some point, you know, I mean, listen, think of
31:48
some of the creative No, I'm good, would you going to share any
31:52
of what's the most creative you've ever been? I'm just kidding, Do not
31:53
answer that. So basically, they in twenty twenty, you remember they had
31:57
to ban it all together just because of the pandemic and everything. Yeah,
32:01
right, But now I guess I don't know what they're what their problem is.
32:06
I think they just want people to be locked in on the games versus
32:09
the uh, you know, the the little side hustle could be going on
32:14
that could be a big distraction. Well, they it's the firmness of the
32:17
beds that apparently are the what preventing them, so they're making them like super
32:22
basically uncom Okay, the floor is also okay, you can figure it out.
32:30
I mean, there gets a point, I mean gets a point in
32:34
a pinge, right, listen, I know you got I mean, listen,
32:38
you gotta if you're when you're in love, and this is what happens
32:42
when when two adults are in love, sometimes they're going to get some scabs
32:45
on their knees. I'm just saying. I'm just saying I'm giving the talk.
32:50
Anybody who hasn't received it yet, thank you, thank you, appreciate
32:52
that. But I just think that when you're going to the Games, the
32:57
Olympics and you're doing all that, I don't know, but I guess there
33:00
is a lot of downtime too, I know, especially if you're like a
33:02
sprinter. I mean you're basically busy for nine seconds. Well, you just
33:07
wonder what it's like, because what are they still call it, like Olympic
33:09
village where they're at. Yeah, where do some of these bigger athletes,
33:15
like Simone Biles, does she go have to stay in some of these places
33:17
or do they get like five star hotels? I got That's what I'm wondering,
33:22
because there's so many Olympians that you don't know. Of course we know
33:27
like a few, there's hundreds of them. So like the javelin guys,
33:30
like, where are they going to be? You know, Well, we
33:31
had and I am totally spacing his name in the last Olympics. He was
33:36
out here, remember the shot putting he was doing that, yes, oh
33:39
yeah, And he came and we were like throwing watermelons, having fun with
33:45
him and he was kind of talking about we checked in with him while he
33:46
was out there, and it was very like, yeah, ok, because
33:51
I think it was during COVID, Like it was just a very different experience.
33:54
Yeah, I'm sure. I mean, imagine showing up and again,
33:57
you've trained your whole life for this moment, gonna give you an uncomfortable mattress
34:01
because they don't want you fooling around. But that shouldn't even be the reason.
34:04
It's like, don't you want if I'm if I'm a from the team
34:07
of USA, I want to sleep good. I need a good night to
34:10
rest if you want me to, yeah, do so keep morale high now,
34:15
I mean, of course it's Olympics, so I don't want any intermingling
34:16
between nations. Okay, we can't have anything. Oh what if that?
34:21
Maybe there's something there, like what if they fall in love or whatever?
34:27
And then it's or they're trying to sabotage us. Yeah, like, hey,
34:30
what are you doing at two am? Exactly? So keeping them up
34:35
too late? I get you. So maybe that's more event right, So
34:37
thanks a little on our swim team swimming around with the Russians. Okay,
34:40
none of that going in a minute in the morning ninety point seven. You
34:45
want suspect to thing when you hear that telephone room by Express, what's lucky
34:52
number? This lesson by Expred Sunny want arrest Frank? Yeah, what a
35:00
good song. Anyway, It's always interesting to hear what intel I get from
35:06
the people who reach out and want me to print call a loved one.
35:08
And today the intel I got, Amanda was that this lady is an avid
35:13
pickleballer. Much like the rest of the world. He's been taking by storm
35:15
by this silly little game with the racket. It is fun, That's what
35:20
I hear. Well, let's have some fun speaking of the devil. All
35:22
right? Why hello, Hi? Is this Brittany. Brittany Hello, stan
35:37
Van Morrison, director of the West Fargo Parks Pickleball Division. How are you
35:42
doing this morning? Yeah, I'm fine. What can I do for you?
35:46
Well, I'm going through what I call my annual pickleball Talent audit,
35:52
where I assess the skill levels of the players who are playing pickleball in the
35:55
West Fargo area and I try to reassign the to a court you know that's
36:00
sort of best suited for their skill level and now, Brittany, you've been
36:06
playing pickleball over at Russtad it looks like correct. Uh, yeah, that's
36:12
where I usually play. Wait where did you get this information from? Oh?
36:15
Honey, I know everything when it comes to pickleball. I'm stan Van
36:21
Morrison. Okay, sir, I'm okay for work. So is there anything
36:29
else we needed to talk about here? Well, I'll cut right to it.
36:31
Brittany, you were assessed in the audit as a B level pickleball player,
36:37
and unfortunately the courts you've been playing on are designated for players at a
36:42
C level or better. How high can the letters go? Well, we
36:47
use the entire alphabet, so it h so it goes up to Z Z.
36:53
Are you are you kidding me? So? Like B pretty bad?
36:57
Yes? B is pretty bad? Correct? Okay, you can't possibly tell
37:01
me we're allowed to play pickleball. I mean that's ridiculous. Well I can't,
37:06
actually, given my status as the pickleball director here in West Fargo.
37:09
So, Brittany, I'm sorry, but we're just gonna have to have you
37:13
start playing exclusively at elementary schools with the other B players who we generally find
37:19
are grade schoolers. Are you kidding me? Okay, you know what you
37:29
I don't know what to tell you. Listen, I'm just going to keep
37:30
playing pickleball wherever the hell I want to play pickleball. And I don't really
37:36
see how there's anything that you can say about that. Ye know, you
37:39
would be able to do it that, Brady, if you weren't just such
37:42
a stinker at pickleball, you see who This is like the rudest phone call
37:47
I've ever had, Like you can take your pickleball and you can just shove
37:51
it. Well, Brittany, now hang on a second. I got to
37:54
tell you something before we do anything with any pickleballs. This is a prank
37:59
call. Yeah, it's a prank call. It's a prank call, Brittany,
38:01
Brittany, call what you're like? Twelve? No, not twelve?
38:07
Oh, Brittany, are you there? Brittany, don't stop it? Oh
38:10
god, darn it. Oh God, Now I feel bad here. You
38:13
know, I'm sure she's not that bad. All right, Well, what
38:15
can you do? That's a that's Pike's prank, big f
