  Speaker 1: In a world of rules in gray areas, one radio
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: station dares to ask the hard question, is it legal to.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: Ride in the bed of a pickup truck?
• 0:16
  Speaker 3: You know, in some states, riding in the bed of
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: a pickup truck will get you pulled over faster than
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: you can say tailgate.
• 0:23
  Speaker 4: But here in North Dakota, totally legal. All right, yup?
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: You can hop right in the back, feel that prairie wind,
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: smack you across the face, wave to your fellow North
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: dakotain's as you ride by. Riding in the bed of
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: a pickup truck is generally legal here in North Dakota
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: under state law, with no specific ban statewide for adults
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: or miners. That's been enacted of as the last the
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: latest updates here.
• 0:53
  Speaker 4: Nice.
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: Now, there are some caveats, so I'm not suggesting anyone
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: go do this, but persons under eighteen likely need to
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: be properly restrained. If there are no restraints available aka
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: some type of seat belt, it could be a legal issue.
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: Keyword there is could Local laws might prohibit it in
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: certain places. Right maybe if you you know and wap
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: it in, it might be different than it is here
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: in Fargo.
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: Okay, all right. Even without a law, it's.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: Always important to remember riding in a bed is risky
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: and may lead to citations under unsafe manner or failure
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: to use restraint laws, depending on these circumstances. So is
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: it legal technically it could be, but just to remember
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: no seat belts, no airbags, and definitely no cup holders.
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: All right, maybe leave your soup and sense of balance
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: at home North Dakota, where freedom still rides in the
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: bed of the truck.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Well, don't keep me waiting, Gabe, tell me what's your
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: little victory.
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: Well, you know me right, I'm a big arts and
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: crafts guy, Yes, question mark.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: Yesterday I participated in some arts and crafts at the
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: glitten House. Oh okay, and I think I'll need another
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: coat of paint here. But I painted a Jack Frost
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: skeleton pumpkin yesterday at the Glittenhouse with Corey, and it
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: actually turned out pretty good. I found like an idea
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: on the internet. Yeah, and sort of, you know, well
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: not sort of. I copied it basically, but I didn't
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: have like I had to free hand it. I didn't
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: have like a console, so and it turned out pretty solid.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: I gotta put another coat of white paint over this pumpkin.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: But it turned out pretty good. Corey and I painted
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: pumpkins yesterday for Halloween while watching the new Monster season
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: three series on Netflix.
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: You might be familiar with the Monster.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: They did this story of Jeffrey Dahmer and then they
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: did the story of the Menendez brothers. Now it's season
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: three starring Charlie Hunham, who you might know from.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: Oh from Sons of Anarchy's.
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: The Manarchy, Thank You, and he is now playing ed
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: Gean in season three of Monster. So we painted pumpkins
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: while watching that in our kitchen yesterday.
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: And I addimate spooky. I had a great time doing it.
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: And I am not in arts and crafts let me
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: paint the pumpkin kind of guy, but it was fun.
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: It was very halloweeny at our household.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Are you guys gonna set those out on the porch?
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Like can I roll by and see them?
• 3:36
  Speaker 5: Oh?
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well, definitely set them out.
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: We got the thing is, we got to figure out
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: this paint because what we have is this glow in
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: the dark paint.
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: Uh huh.
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: And so I don't know how many coats I have
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: to do because obviously the paint needs to sit out
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: in the sun and kind of charge up. Oh okay,
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: it's gonna sit outside today and then we'll see how
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: much more of this paint I have to do next year.
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: I'm not doing that paint though, all right.
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: I'm marching my little booty to Low's or home d
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: or wherever, and I'm getting me some glitten paint.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: Okay, Oh that's right. Wait, are you air to.
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: The wouldn't that be right? Yeah, I'll tell you right now.
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: I wouldn't be right here.
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: But so I had a good time doing some arts
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: and crafts, which I normally do not like doing.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: What a great little victory mine is very vain but
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: exciting to me. So right now I'm wearing a pair
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: of jeans, Gabe, that I have not been able to
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: wear since March of this year because my mom shrunk
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: them in the dryer and I was like, Mom, I
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: can't afford for these to shrinky. Girl is not a
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: slender lady. But I've been, you know, working hard on
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: eating right and whatever, and so I've lost a few pounds.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: And so today I pulled up these jeans and I
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: buttoned them nicely, and I got them zipped up, and
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: I am wearing a pair of jeans I couldn't wear.
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: For a lot.
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: That's an odd that's an awesome victory. I wouldn't even
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: call that a little victory. That's just a good victory,
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: a good, wholesome victory.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: I appreciate that game. I'm walking around here feeling myself.
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: That's right, okay, okay, which is normally how her angie's
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: day goes. But we got a little extra pep in
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: the pep step here.
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: Now, Selena Gomez and her mother and a bit of
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: a tizzy. Her mother was not thrilled that Selena Gomez
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: shows to have her grandfather walk her down the aisle
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: at her wedding.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: Oh, yes, I recall this.
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: And now you know traditionally it's usually you know, dad
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: who does it right. Yeah, and sometimes dad and mom.
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: You know I've seen that as well.
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that was.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: When Mikey's daughter got married in November. It was dad
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: and mom.
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and so my wife when she walked down, it
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: was actually our two nephews.
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: She had an older sister.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: Sadly she's that sister is no longer, so that sister
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: had two kids or whatever. Yeah, and those two walked
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: Corey down the aisle three, so very not traditionally what
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: you would see, right, And so this morning I was
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: kind of wondering, Hey, Selena Gomez, she had her grandpa
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: walker down the aisle side of her mom, and I believe.
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: It's her stepdad.
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And did you have anything at your wedding that
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: was maybe, you know, slightly unusual Maybe that's not the word,
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: but just different than maybe the traditional standard kind of
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: thing seven oh one two eight zero one nine eight seven.
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: Now I am fascinated every time I hear a story
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: about Angie's wedding, because finding Angie, to me was like
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: finding a unicorn. I mean, it was like finding one
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: of those golden tickets in Willie Wonka and the chocolate factory.
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: I have been trying to track down an individual who
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: had a Las Vegas Elvis Chapel wedding my entire life,
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: and here I have you, and we have heard that story.
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: But was there anything else with your web Angie that
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: was maybe a bit unusual other than the fact you
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: had a hunk of burn in love doing the the
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: US You can't wait.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: Let me first of all, officiating, not bro I'm not dead.
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: Oh sorry, that was Dolly pardon I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: No, let me be clear. There was an Elvis statue. Oh,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: not an impersonator, but there was the Elvis presence.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: And yeah, it was a small wedding. I wore a black.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: Dress, very not very not traditional, a black dress from
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: the Sophia Vegata collection whence she had clothes at kmart.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: It was a nice dress and six inch leopard print heels. So,
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: like my wedding was very non traditional, but it also
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: ended a friendship.
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: Really.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: Yes, one of my closest friends. I did not invite
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: her to the wedding, but it was because it was
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: super small the wedding, it was like very few people.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: It was me and my husband obviously. So then on
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: my side, I had one of my closest friends, Brandy,
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: who paid for the wedding.
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: Because it was a cheapy Vegas wedding. For sixty bucks,
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: you get the automatic invice.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so she paid for the wedding. And also I'm
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: really close with her. And then my mom and Aiden,
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: who was like a year old at the time because
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: I had him out of wedlock anyway, So that was
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: on my side. And then on my ex's side, it
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: was his best friend and his grandparents because he wasn't
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: talking to his parents at the time, So.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: That was it super small.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: Sounds like a toxic, dysfunctional situation, but it.
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: Turned out to be exactly that.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: Yes, but oh yeah, we are not together anymore.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: But because of this small wedding where I did not
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: invite this other friend of mine, she was very offended
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: and we stopped being friends. Like she just ghosted me
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: and I tried to reach out after and she was
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: really offended and it took seven years for us us
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: to ever talk again.
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: Wow, Hey, Jack, can you top that? We decided to
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: not have anyone make a speech at the wedding.
• 9:08
  Speaker 5: Every wedding we've ever been to, the speech is always
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: the thing that.
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: Brings a party to a crashing hole.
• 9:13
  Speaker 5: So we got rid of them. And it did not
• 9:16
  Speaker 5: go over very well.
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: With my parents. Jack, I kind of liked that. I'm
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: sorry it didn't go over well with your parents, but
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: you are right. If you have even one like ten
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: seconds of one of the billions of speeches that stink, yeah,
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: the vibe is killed.
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah that's true. All right, what about you, Tricia.
• 9:35
  Speaker 5: My husband's side doesn't drink, so we decided to have
• 9:38
  Speaker 5: a dry wedding, and my family acted like I told
• 9:41
  Speaker 5: him there would be no oxygen. My uncle even brought
• 9:44
  Speaker 5: a flask and got caught during the toast.
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: I would just I would have been the uncle. I
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: would have too.
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, if you want to do a dry wedding, I
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: think that's great, that's awesome, that's dope for you. Yeah. I, however,
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: am not going to do that right sneaking off to
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: the parking lot.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Mikey discovered, well not discovered, but he finally brought
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: up something to me that I do that he consider, Yes,
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: that he considers.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: A beige flag.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: So you hear about red flags, right, stuff that people
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: do in relationships where it's like, no, that's horrible, it's
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: a red flag. You got to get out of there.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: And then green flags, which is that's a sweet, wonderful thing.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: They're great, hooray green flag.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: And then there's the beige flag, which essentially is neutral.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: It's not bad or good, it's just kind of like
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: a quirky Yes. So he noticed and brought up to
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: me that at any given time in the house, he
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: will hear this sound.
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: And that is the.
• 10:58
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: But that's my alarm because I set timers for everything.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: So like when I go to bed, instead of setting
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: necessarily an alarm that's like wake me up at three
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: thirty am, I just set a timer for X amount
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: of hours, which is insane, by the way.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: Well it's how I do it.
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: I'll set it for eight hours.
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: But you sit there and like do the math.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: I just I go to bed and I say I
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: want eight hours of sleep, and so I set the timers.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: So then if I'm like tossing and turning whatever, and
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: I look over to my phone, it'll show me, girl,
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: you better get to sleep because you only have six
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: hours left or whatever.
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: We what if eight hours is you'll like oversleep your
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: doctor's appointment.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: I mean, well, I check it.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: I check it to make sure that I'm setting it
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: at the right thing. But it's not just that. It's
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: not just when we go to sleep. I'll set a
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: timer for how long I want to watch TV. So
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: I'll set it for like an hour and a half,
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: and then when the timer goes off, I move on
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: to something else. When I'm getting ready for work, I
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: set a timer so I give myself twenty minutes. Like
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: I set timers for every task. Throughout the day, so
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: at any moment, you'll just be hearing this.
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: Your house perpetually sounds like this.
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I would go insane if everywhere I went I
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: had to hear this.
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: Okay, well I do that. No, no, no, that is
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: flirting with red flag.
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: I think you think it's a red flag that.
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: Is flirting with red flag.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: I'm just trying to keep myself this on the schedule. Listen.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: I'm Latina, so in my blood is being late. Okay.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: These timers are to offset.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: That, and I feel like that's responsible. In fact, I
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: think it should move from a beige flag to a
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: green flag. I don't like your silence.
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: It's a bit of a stretch here. We did ask
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: this question on Facebook, Kayla. She said, I loadedwasher and
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: he unloads. We've been in this house for five years
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: and he still puts things away in the wrong spot.
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: Occasionally I roll my eyes, but it's kind of funny
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: that I then have to hunt things down when I
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: need them, or open cupboards and drawers to find something
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: that doesn't belong there. She also added, he knows it
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: makes me chuckle, So I don't know if he does
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: it on purpose or if he's just honestly clueless. But
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: that is a big flag, you know, a base flag.
• 13:25
  Speaker 5: I have.
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: This flirts with a red flag. Oh gosh, on Corey's
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: being mean to me.
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: You know what I'll do. I'll go grab like the
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: salsa or the pickle jar. Yeah, and I will tighten
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: that bad boy down as hard as I can so
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: that she has to ask for help to get it open.
• 13:43
  Speaker 5: Ye.
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: Right, You're gonna be nice to me now, aren't you.
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: That's a red flag, my guy, Corey, run.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: For the hell?
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: It flirts with red? Yeah, I'd like to call it
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: more of a magenta.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: Oh gosh, well, a little crazy train.
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: What do you know about that, Angie? Huh?
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: I know that I like it when Little John is
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: on the The reason why you're hearing crazy train right
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: now is I have a family activity coming up towards
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: the end of October.
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: This has been booked for months and I'm actually kind
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: of looking forward to it.
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: I think it's gonna be a lot of fun.
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: My mother, my sister, myself, Corey, I think, my dad,
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: and I think my brother. I actually don't know if
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: they're gone, doesn't matter. We are doing this like train
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: ride along the north Shore, just kind of north of Duluth, Minnesota.
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: Oh, a literal train, your team.
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: Literally hopping on a train. It's almost like a tour
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: kind of thing. And I think it's gonna be a
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: lot of fun. And normally, you know, you hear you
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: might hear a family activity and you're like, Okay, let
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: me get through this for two hours and enjoy you know,
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: my family.

• 15:08
  Speaker 3: from Chicago all the way to Seattle and back, just
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: to do it.
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: So I think this will be, you know, a close second. Yeah.
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: Have you ever been on a train?
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: Not that I can remember. I mean I'm sure I have,
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: and I just don't remember. Yeah, but you know, I've
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: been on like the subway that's sort of the same. No,
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: I mean, no, kind of is except the view.
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: Right, That's the point that like, I've taken an Amtrak.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: I went from Seattle to Portland and that was a
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: great little trip.
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly, you're gonna have a good time.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: So is this do you do family bonding things often?
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: Or this is kind of our Christmas deal? Oh okay,
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: kind of a Christmas thing. We wanted to do something
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: we would actually get to do and use and enjoy together,
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: as opposed like, oh here's a new shirt.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: Well this is you know, well this is sweet. I
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: feel like it is going to be a good bond activity.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: It's going to be a family adventure. You actually like
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: that's right?
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: Seven oh one two eight zero one nine eight seven.
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: Have you ever had like a family bonding thing that
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: you actually enjoyed?
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: It was a good time? What about you, Jack?
• 16:12
  Speaker 5: I went on vacation with my family and we all
• 16:14
  Speaker 5: decided to do an escape room, and I have to
• 16:17
  Speaker 5: admit that was the most fun I've ever had with them.
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: That could be fun.
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: I think an escape room with your family would be
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: awesome because you can like slowly insult them when they
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: do something really really dumb, and it's your family, so
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: it's fine.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, Gabe, that's exactly why I won't do
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: an escape room.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: I'm not gonna pay money to be judged for my
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: poor critical thinking.
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: Exkis all right, Cindy, what about you? A family bonding
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: thing that you actually really enjoyed?
• 16:42
  Speaker 5: Road trips? I used to dread being trapped in the
• 16:44
  Speaker 5: car with my family for hours, but you know, there's
• 16:47
  Speaker 5: just something about those late night gas station stops and
• 16:51
  Speaker 5: the dumb inside jokes and everyone fighting over the ox
• 16:55
  Speaker 5: cord that ended up being kind of perfect. There's just
• 16:59
  Speaker 5: no pressure, there's no forced smiles. It's just shared chaos
• 17:03
  Speaker 5: and bad singing.
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's okay.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: It's when it's your family and you just feel free
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: to be an absolute monster.
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: That's the best.
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: Seven oh one two eight zero one nine eight seven.
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: A family activity or a family bonding experience that you
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: really did enjoy? Big ninety eight point seven.
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: Who's this?
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: It's Lisa? How are you guys?
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: Are you good? And I have to tell you the
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: Amtrak is amazing.
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: I want to take it through Montana all the way
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: to Seattle one day.
• 17:34
  Speaker 5: So we actually go to Montana every year for skiing
• 17:38
  Speaker 5: and that's how we get there.
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: Oh, that sounds so fun.
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: Do you sit in like, what is it like the
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: lookout area where it's basically all glass?
• 17:46
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: The observer observer area area, yeah, observer area, yeah yeah.
• 17:51
  Speaker 5: And then underneath that there's like a little seven eleven.
• 17:55
  Speaker 5: You can get all the little food things, but you
• 17:58
  Speaker 5: can bring.
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: Your own little cooler.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: And I packed Jimmy Johns.
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: What else do you pack in there, Lisa? And don't
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: you lie to me?
• 18:07
  Speaker 5: Oh everything, soda, some you know, drinks there.
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: You might have seen and or heard parts of this
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: story in the news, but nearly nine hundred people who
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: were stranded by a powerful weekend blizzard on the Chinese
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: side of Mount Everest have been rescued and brought to safety.
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: According to state media and local reports, the storm struck
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: Karma Valley that area on Saturday night and trapped about
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: five hundred eighty hikers and more than three hundred guides,
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: yak herders and staff at altitudes above sixteen thousand feet.
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: Rescuers arrived with food, oxygen, and heating supplies to help
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: those suffering from hypothermia, while local villagers assisted with oxygen
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: and horses to clear routes and lead groups down the mountain.
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: By Tuesday, all stranded trekkers had reached safety, marking the
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: successful conclusion of one of the largest search and rescue
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: operations in Mount Everest history. Many of the hikers had
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: camped in deep snow and extreme cold before being guided
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: out by emergency teams. All evacuees have been transported to
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: nearby towns and are working on their return travel. So
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: this ended up being an absolute nightmare for near one
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: thousand people, and it looks like all of them will
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: be okay, or at least should be okay, which is
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: just incredible. I mean, an issue of that scale, it's
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: kind of incredible.
• 19:45
  Speaker 4: I'm glad that it's finally over.
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. They've been there for a hot minute, all right.
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: The world is full of nice people. If you can't
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: find one, you gotta be one. Have a great Thursday.
