Pike Explains to a Stranger Why He Didn't Hold the Door For Him · Podcast - Big 98.7

I'm remember we are alive on our big ninety points have on Facebook page,
0:04
of course, because it's time for the little thing we do call it is
0:07
it weird? Where we talk about things we do in our personal time and
0:10
determine if they're weird or not. A man he said, you had one
0:13
that was quote hot off the press, real fresh bike as of last night.
0:19
Is it weird that I have never heard of the movie Bad News Bears?
0:23
Yes, yes, I would say, even having not seen it,
0:27
I've never even seen it. Right, wait, we all get the reference,
0:30
right, this is what I honestly had never heard of this in my
0:35
life. We're going to bed last night, it's on, and my husband
0:38
is just I mean, mind blowing, like the look that he gave me.
0:41
I don't want to throw around the word like divorce, but he seriously
0:45
looks at me, He's like, you've got to be kidding me. Just
0:47
hauled by that. I would say, that's worth breaking your family up over.
0:50
The One thing that was really nice is I think he had earned some
0:53
dad stripes because right away Sidney goes, is this like anti Griffith, which
0:58
this is hilarious like that she would bring that up and then Briggsy went,
1:00
is this the Sandlot, which would make a lot of sense a movie.
1:04
Yeah, we watched The Sandlot. I'm very well aware of Wendy Peppercorn and
1:10
all of that, but I had never heard of this. Even you've never
1:14
heard someone say like, oh, it's a total Bad News Bears situation.
1:18
Of course I have, but I really I've never you have. Okay,
1:21
like I've heard of like, oh, bad news. I think I probably
1:23
say that to my kids or like make a reference, but never understood it.
1:26
Maybe you haven't played enough organized sports because I remember, like our softball
1:33
team even you know, there's a lot of Bad News Bears references. I
1:36
was a softball coach, remember, so you never said when the team was
1:38
no, you know, missing ground balls and throwing the ball all around.
1:42
With me as a coach, that wasn't happening. Yeah, who's in that
1:46
film? Because they did the original one and then there was the remake,
1:49
which was it Rob Schneider. Okay, so somebody just said, are you
1:52
talking about the remake which was in two thousand and five, I'm like,
1:55
I didn't know there was a remake. But the original had Walter Matthew.
2:00
So from Grumfield men. Oh okay, so Sydney was onto something with the
2:06
old Andy Griffith reference. Oh really, No, I don't know. I'm
2:08
just saying it's super old, okay, from a long time ago. I
2:12
don't think Andy Griffith was in it person. No, I would say that's
2:15
weird. You gotta really And that's coming from somebody who really hasn't seen a
2:19
lot of movies. See, that's why I had brought it up to you,
2:21
and I had just posted it on Facebook and my people were just appalled
2:24
by me. It is offensive. So I apologize in it together all right,
2:29
A man? Is it weird? And I'm just gonna explain exactly what
2:31
happened because my wife thought it was weird of me to do and I don't
2:35
think. So, okay, is it weird that yesterday we walked out,
2:38
got a little coffee, went for a little walk outside of the apartment,
2:42
and as we're coming back into the apartment, it was a situation where I
2:45
held the door for my wife because of course, and then I look out
2:49
and there was somebody I had just seen them park got out of their vehicle
2:52
and it's a guy, you know, like a similar age guy. Looked
2:54
like a construction worker, maybe just get off work. And so he's coming
2:59
toward the door and I'm holding the door, and I just made that decision
3:01
that he's too far away, especially he's an able bodied man, like I
3:07
don't need to hold the door for so how far are we talking? Like
3:08
did you make eye contact? Like hey, yeah, it looks like I'm
3:12
about to hold the door for you. And then he did the kind of
3:14
like scurry like you started shuffling a little bit. You had already given that
3:19
all the signs that you were the door for him, and then I let
3:22
it drop. And I immediately thought, oh, man, because now it's
3:27
a double door. So now we got to get the key out to open
3:29
the next door. And in that amount of time, of course, now
3:31
he's right on our tail. So now I hold that door open for him.
3:35
And what do you know, we go to get on the elevator.
3:37
Well he gets in the elevator too, so we're standing in the elevator awkward
3:39
silence, of course, and then I just say, hey, man,
3:44
listen, I just decided that you were a little too far away to hold
3:46
that door for you. Back there, you did not, so you I
3:51
bet your wife was, Oh, this is a cringe level that you just
3:54
because you're just bringing it up, like, let's talk about it, and
3:59
he goes, oh, dude, I totally get it. He's like yeah,
4:00
it's just that awkward kind of in between. I'm like, yeah,
4:02
you get it, okay, and I say it gets it. Nobody ever
4:05
talks about it thought, and then there was like another awkward ten seconds of
4:09
silence, and then I just said I just wanted to let you know kind
4:12
of what was going through my head there, and he goes, yeah,
4:15
okay. Then we get elevator talks and we get off, and we get
4:18
off and he goes, all right, I have a good I go have
4:20
a good one. Man. You go you too. Well, then we'd
4:24
both turn right. We both start walking down the long hallway. We're right
4:28
on his heels and this goes on for another one hundred feet. Did you
4:31
say, don't worry still here? No, it was pure silence the rest
4:38
of the way. And it turns out he lives in the apartment, like,
4:41
you know, two doors down from us. I'm like, oh,
4:43
that's that guy. Okay, that was awkward. So it was that weird
4:46
to bring that up? Or would you have just let it ride. You
4:50
know, A part of me feels like you do that you would. I
4:53
don't think that's super weird. I think i'd be like, I wasn't sure
4:57
did he say thank you when you held the second door? There was so
5:00
much going on. I just kind of blacked that part out. It's hard
5:03
to say, you weren't. I thought about it after. I'm like,
5:08
what could he have taken that like the wrong way? You know? Men't
5:13
think so, I don't know. So what was your wife's stance on it?
5:15
Just like hated it. She hated every second of it. It was
5:17
painful. It was supposed to be just us coming home and enjoying a Sunday.
5:21
Instead, it was just the most horrible social experiment she's ever been a
5:26
part of. Involuntarily, Oh good, good a minute in the morning,
5:30
big nutty eight point seven. You know what they're doing with axe body spray?
5:33
Remember acts, Oh, how can you forget it? Some of my
5:35
clothes, like it still just feels like it's burned in there. From the
5:39
junior high in high school locker room, just guys thinking that you could just
5:43
forgo showering if you bathed yourself in axe body spray. No. I remember
5:47
there was a time it smelled good and then it was like somebody, some
5:50
girl was like, hmmm, this smells good, and then every guy designed
5:55
it too far. All you need is a little baby sprits, maybe just
5:59
a little like or what I would do is I'd spray a little cloud and
6:02
then you walk through. I was gonna say, you could have just walked
6:04
into the locker room and walked back out and you'd be fine. Honestly,
6:09
Well, they found a new use for it, thank god. Instead of
6:11
just infecting young boys, it is now being used as ram repellent animal the
6:18
animal rams. Over in England, they have these these sheep farms and the
6:23
rams. The men apparently have some anger issues and they keep getting into it
6:27
with each other, so they decided to just try spraying axe body spray on
6:30
them. It feels like that's toxic for animals. Doesn't mean great, It
6:33
doesn't seem great, but it's England, so whatever, and so apparently it
6:36
masks the hormones that gets them so fired up and wants to fight with each
6:40
other. So it's doing some good out there, the axe body spray.
6:44
But it's a weird smell and it's not one that I enjoy. But is
6:46
there a weird smell that you do actually enjoy? I do like the smell
6:49
of a bonfire, but I don't like it in my hair, you know
6:51
what I'm saying. Like it's one of those that you like it but you
6:55
don't. Yeah, there are certain smells that like, yeah, they're good,
6:57
but then they're bad. Like for example, I know this is gonna
7:00
be crazy, but I love the smell of gasoline right same here. Sometimes
7:03
I like try to it sounds weird, like try to get a little on
7:06
my finger, like accidentally, but it's just a dab on your finger,
7:12
No weird, But it's like it smells good, but it's like the second
7:15
it goes from just in the air to now on you and now it smells
7:18
now it smells disgusting. Well, you get a little at the gas pump,
7:21
you get a little on your shoe or something coming back from that.
7:25
No, but I do want to get it away just that smell or this
7:28
is the exhaust smell like I'm at, you know, the snowmobile getting fired
7:31
up when you're it's a good one, oh yeah, or just but again,
7:34
it's in small doses where You're like, oh, it takes you back
7:38
to a place. Mothballs are a terrible smell, but it reminds me of
7:43
my grandma's house. So you like it really? Yeah, in a weird
7:45
way. I'm like, oh, this reminds me of a Grammy is.
7:47
Yeah, you know this is crazy too. But just fresh cut grass in
7:51
the summer. I know I'm a weirdo, but that is I mean,
7:58
oh, it's almost that time. Are people mowing the lawns? Yet yesterday
8:01
Nick was thatching the lawn thatching, doing the little thatcher borrowed. Somebody's uh,
8:07
now what is thatching? Thatching? Me like getting all of the dried
8:11
grass up through the season. And then now we have to beg it today.
8:16
Bag it, beg the grass, clipping bag it? Yeah, bag
8:20
it nice? You want to come over and beg some grass today? Pike
8:24
like the way you bag it up or whatever? Black Street said, Oh
8:28
yeah, I forgot talk about nostalts, that's it? What was it a
8:31
jam? I like the way you work. It's no diggity. I like
8:37
to bag it up. Is there are they talking about thatching in that song?
8:39
They must be Maybe it'll crank it up today. Well, we're bagging
8:43
it out though those tortured poet lyrics were good, but nothing on black Streets
8:46
taking a man in the morning seven. You know, Amanda, being nineties
8:52
kids, you and I and a lot of people listening. You grew up
8:54
in the nineties, where you lived during the nineties. There's a lot of
8:56
things, like nostalgia. We'll remember about the decade, like the music and
9:00
the clothes and the TV shows. But there's a lot of things that people
9:03
don't remember, especially if you're young and you weren't actually around or you were
9:05
just too young to remember about the nineties. So, for example, Amanda,
9:09
you know, a lot of people don't realize most people didn't own computers
9:13
in the nineties. Remember that. I mean, these are things like nostalgia
9:16
just is not quite getting right. So so what year was like ICQ,
9:20
chat and AOL? So we would have because I remember getting a computer and
9:24
like having to dial all of that. We were dialing up. I think
9:28
even in high school I was still dialing up. Oh totally. I remember
9:31
the late nineties. My dad was just started to date who's now my stepmom,
9:35
and I remember she had a computer and like going to her house,
9:39
it was like getting a time machine. The fact that like you could email
9:43
or google things, and that Google was new, I mean ask g.
9:46
That was like the and then it turned to aj dot com. Yeah,
9:50
oh man, and so some of those like early internet game websites some of
9:54
the best times, oh man. So yeah, it was. It was
9:56
kind of a status thing. It's interesting. And then sharing it if you
10:01
had siblings, and then your parents had to make a phone call. My
10:03
god. Also smoking was frowned upon but still very common, kind of like
10:07
today, but even more so, you know, oh totally. I remember
10:11
we'd go to the uptown restaurant that I think it was Bruski's at the time,
10:15
and it was Taco Tuesday, oh Bruceki, and it would be Taco
10:20
Tuesday, and you go in there, and when we would get home,
10:24
and it was weird because you didn't like the smell of smoke. To me,
10:28
now is so nauseating. It's just weird how life has just changed.
10:31
But you would have to like strip down before you'd get in the house,
10:35
or you'd have to like wash your hair because the smell of it was just
10:39
so bad. But that's just the way it was. Oh yeah, I
10:41
remember when the tide started to turn. In the nineties. You saw a
10:45
lot of commercials for like h like Anti, like Philip Morris, whatever the
10:48
heck that was. Then a cigarette guy, the big big tobacco guy,
10:54
and then a lot of like secondhand smoke commercials where it would it would show
10:56
like a server, yes, and I talk about the second n smoke that
11:00
people serving at restaurants had to go through, which I mean, honestly,
11:03
it wasn't until I say, this was a few years ago, but fourteen
11:07
years ago, I guess when I moved back here from Colorado. It was
11:09
that was just when basically you couldn't smoke places and go through. I'm like,
11:15
it's crazy. There's a few places still that you can. Well,
11:18
I remember going to like the frying pan on a Sunday growing up, and
11:22
so I'm young and all I'm seeing are all these commercials about how bad smoking
11:26
was. Well, my mom smoked, so of course I hated it.
11:28
I'm like, Mom, what the are you seeing these commercials? Like You're
11:31
gonna die? And so we'd go to like a frying pan, they'd be
11:33
like, oh, smoking or non smoking, and I would just give my
11:37
mom the look like, oh that is like, is there really non smoking
11:41
even like hotel rooms any of that. Yeah, we're gonna put you on
11:43
this side ten feet from a guy smoking, but don't worry, you're in
11:46
the non smoking section. Yeah. Also, the crazy thing about the nineties,
11:50
everybody pretty much watched the same TV shows. I mean we just talked
11:54
about this. I mean I remember that was like right when American Idol was
12:00
really starting on. Do you remember that? And we would just sit down.
12:03
I mean we would be calling, texting, trying to get our votes
12:07
in Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? Those were just like you'd sit down
12:11
around the couch and we were all locked down. Yeah, you could go
12:13
to school, you could go to work, and everybody had something to say
12:16
about it because everybody was watching it the same sitcoms. I mean it was
12:18
like what Fox NBC had Seinfeld and Friends. So like everybody week to week
12:24
we went what was going on? From like Simpsons into the X Files on
12:26
Sunday nights. Yes, man, Not to mention, people didn't really have
12:31
a huge VHS collections. They had to rent a lot of movies. You
12:35
think about it, I mean everybody knew somebody did have a ton of them,
12:39
but we had like one row the most and it was the most random
12:43
assortment of movies. I had Scream Titanic Double Sid remember the two films.
12:50
Yeah, I know exactly when that movie you have to switch right when they
12:54
hit the iceberg and the captains in the oh yeah, at the ship like
12:58
the just kind of realizing what's happening, and then you got to change the
13:01
tape. It's a great, great point in the film. What was your
13:05
first movie? Well, I remember we had Like the reason I like Home
13:07
Alone two so much is because we had the VHS was Home Alone two lost
13:11
in New York, So we watched that one over and over. I wasn't
13:13
really obsessed with VHS's as much as I was. I was a part of
13:16
BMG and Columbia House during that time. So getting like the box set or
13:22
if you think they were gonna be free. But then if you ever got
13:24
a bill, which was random, but if you ever did, it was
13:26
like a hundred bucks for your eight yeah, eight CDs. But that was
13:31
my jam. I loved getting in CDs. Yeah, did you like CDs?
13:35
Loved CD It was your favorite CD? You remember, So I had
13:37
my first three. I had Boys to Men TLC, Crazy, Sexy Cool
13:41
and Hoody and the Blowfish. Those were my three CDs that I Oh my
13:46
god, it was quite a set. So the first CD you had,
13:48
what you remember that because I feel like that those were the three Those were
13:50
the three guys. Yeah, I remember we had we had two too.
13:54
The first ones I ever remember having were the Backstreet Boys that first album which
13:58
just iconic. Yes, the Savage Garden album but truly madly, deeply,
14:01
Oh my god. And then we had the Aqua album after Barbie Girl brew
14:05
blew Up. See, that's part of my singles collection. I had so
14:09
many singles you were If you only have the single of Barbie Girl, you're
14:13
doing yourself a disservice. Cause I've said this many times. But that album
14:16
Aquarium, it's called top to Bottom. It's one of the great prop dance
14:20
albums of our time. Who would have I mean, give it a listen
14:24
if you can, if you got time. Amanda in the morning on Big
14:30
seven Trending, Now here's what you need to know. Clean Clean They annual
14:37
cleanup weeks and Fargo, Moorhead, West Fargo and Dilworth are coming up,
14:41
so save the dates between May sixth and the tenth and May thirteenth through the
14:45
seventeenth, depending on where you're at. If you want to refresher of the
14:48
cleanup rules, you can get them listed on each of the city's websites.
14:52
But it's always just fun to see what people are putting on the curb,
14:54
even just like we have a neighborhood group, so sometimes people just put something
14:58
out like hey, it's just for free. Otherwise I'm gonna go donate it
15:01
or do it's just one person's junk as another person. You never know.
15:05
It's amazing how a year after years sometimes it seems like the same people.
15:07
It's like, where, how are you accumulating all this junk? You know?
15:11
Yeah, it's easy. I just hate junk. I know. Well,
15:15
you you're just good about getting rid of I just I could live out
15:18
of a backpack, you know. Yeah. Every time I'm like, oh,
15:20
well I got rid of this, and then all of a sudden,
15:22
it's like, how is there more of this? Yeah? Or whatever it
15:26
may be. We've been talking about doing like a garage sale, and my
15:28
husband keeps making fun of me. He's like, are you really going to
15:31
do this? It's like, just go donate, do whatever. I'm like,
15:33
well, I got some good stuff, like making funny. I know,
15:39
nobody ever shows up. I feel bad when people get all excited and
15:41
gung ho, they hang up their clothes and it's like nobody goes. Oh.
15:45
So on Saturday we were we had to drive through because the bridge on
15:48
fifty second is closed still because they're doing that huge construction project. Oh that
15:52
one, and so we have to go detour back around the Deer Creek neighborhood
15:56
out there. So they must have had a community garage all going on.
16:00
I have never seen more traffic in my life that makes sense. Wouldn't believe
16:03
it. The whole community's aware of it. You're not relying on the single,
16:07
you know, little piece of cardboard that somebody wrote on a Markeralea,
16:12
Yeah, exactly, good, fine, all right, Taylor Swift. The
16:18
Tortured Boats Department sold one point four million copies on its first day of release.
16:22
I mean, it's breaking records already left and righting records. Nobody's ever
16:26
listened to an album more in a day or something like that. It's crazy
16:29
how many people listen to all thirty one songs and just went through and dissected
16:33
it and hey, thank you, because I did not I got to get
16:37
a lot of the highlights. But the people who were pointing out the lyrics
16:41
to this and who the songs were about. It's almost kind of like a
16:44
homework project for Taylor Swift fans to go through and just try to figure it
16:48
all out. Well, I mean, it's always a good exercise to breakdown
16:51
lyrics. Didn't you ever do that in school, like an English class?
16:53
Did they give you like songs and you had to dissect the lyrics? I
16:56
don't remember that. Oh, it was one of my favorite project. Really,
17:00
it was a real they tricked you into caring. You know, here's
17:03
a pick a song you like and then we'll talk about the lyrics. But
17:06
yeah, it was definitely smart. Interesting. No, I like that.
17:10
I like that angle for sure. I remember it was under the Bridge by
17:15
the Right Out Chili Peppers. You know that song? How does it go
17:18
under the Bitch down Town? You're maybe not doing adjusted okay from the top
17:23
sometimes I feel, of course I know that. Of course it's one of
17:29
the biggest Yeah, yeah, no, absolutely Diddy, And now I understand
17:33
it completely Thanks to Sean Severson's eleventh grade English class Way to go all right,
17:40
Kaitlyn Clark sold more Fever jerseys in one day than the entire Cowboys roster
17:44
last season. That is unbelievable to me. That's crazy, that's great.
17:48
I saw who were was it Tim McGraw on stage wearing the I mean just
17:52
a painted on Caitlyn Clark jersey. That guy just he talked about somebody getting
17:56
better in time? Man is he though? Is it? I think?
18:00
And kind of gross? No, So he got really skinny for a while,
18:03
but I think he's starting to amp it up. I looked I was
18:07
like looking good in them and jeans and that jersey sit on jeans and jersey.
18:11
He's got his Caitlin Clark at and T Jersey salesforce, salesforce on the
18:17
front, AT and T on the back. Hey, I will tell you
18:19
those two companies though, gotta be happy that they put their trademark on that,
18:25
or their marketing whatever. I guess it wouldn't be their trademark, their
18:29
logo, their logo. Yes, we are going to get a little sunshine.
18:32
We're supposed to get some showers this afternoon. There's a chance of that,
18:34
and then a lot of wind coming our way this afternoon through the overnight
18:37
high at sixty seven today and Amanda in the morning on sage seven. At
18:44
the risk of sounding like, you know, the gift of the old man
18:47
yelling at a cloud, yeah, I'm gonna sound like that here. But
18:49
we just talk about the prices and how much it'd gone up. And I
18:52
get prices are going up everywhere. Inflation's horrific the last few years, but
18:56
specifically fast food restaurants, what are we doing, you know what I mean,
19:00
they're just trying to keep up, I like everybody else, I know,
19:03
but like it's at a rate that's unlike any other industry. Because obviously
19:08
the dollar menu thing that it's been gone for a long time, right,
19:11
but this is the value MENI I mean those are still now. We're talking
19:15
three four bucks for the value menu. But a combo, like the only
19:19
way I'll eat fast food now is like using a deal on the app,
19:22
which thankfully a lot of these places still have really good deals. But if
19:26
you're just gonna like go in raw just no cubeon, no app, nothing,
19:30
and just get a combo with that crazy burger, fries and a drink,
19:33
it' is like over ten dollars and you can go to like you can
19:37
go to actual restaurants, maybe not super nice ones, but like chain restaurants
19:41
you get a really nice meal for fourteen bucks. Well, we're over at
19:44
the local seven to one on Thursdays and they have like a ten buck lunch
19:48
going right now, so it's like, pop on in there. You get
19:51
a full meal. You know what I mean? You're getting Yeah, like
19:53
full meals of quality food, quality food, way more of it and way
19:59
cheaper. It's crazy, and you don't have to eat in your car,
20:02
but I will probably get it to go if you wanted to. But I
20:03
do enjoy eating my car. Are you fall See? It drives me nuts.
20:08
I actually can't stand it because no matter what, I always get a
20:12
little lettuce down in the little crevice and it's like you're not gonna go down
20:15
and pick it up. It's hard to get or if you're eating for some
20:18
reason. I like, if I ever do drive there, it's usually for
20:22
tacos. It's been a long time. Those are hard. Those are one
20:23
of the harder foods to eat, I know. And then the cheese,
20:26
the lettuce, all of that just kind of you go out of subway in
20:29
my car. You could basically if you went under my ultimate seats, you
20:33
could pretty much like do you think you could whip up? You could make
20:36
an entire sub out of what's under that little Italian BMT straight from the ultimate.
20:41
Oh yeah, I got some banana PEPs under there. You know it's
20:44
so gross, but it's just crazy. You know, it's just one of
20:45
those things. And they're never gonna come back down. That's a scary thing,
20:48
Like, what what are we gonna do? You don't think they'll come
20:51
back down. I guess it's not how it works. I don't know the
20:53
projections here. You only hear about inflation. I don't hear much about deflation.
20:59
That was really good, man. This is zero reaction. You're just
21:03
you're just not on. We're not We're not on today. I mean,
21:04
I've had a cover a couple of dangers out of the park and her face
21:10
is like she's just ready to say the next thing. Doesn't care. No.
21:11
I was like, my mind was somewhere else. I apologie, do
21:15
you want to say it one more time? Okay, I'll say it and
21:19
then we'll laugh and then we'll be done. I'm gonna let it hit this
21:22
time. That's not how it works. Amanda. I hear a lot about
21:26
inflation, don't hear much about deflation. Maybe good one after second thought,
21:36
not good. Sorry, I get Amanda in the morning. Come on,
21:38
get up on. I know you've been waiting for these results of the best
21:45
Boyfriends from romance novels and movies, because all romance novels turn into movies.
21:52
I really need to get into reading more books. My husband and I talk
21:55
about this. He threw a little dagger at me when he was like,
21:57
I haven't really read since I met you. Oh, you were a big
22:00
reader before. He's like, it's yeah, I know, Oh gosh.
22:03
No. Reading is one of those things where not everyone does it, but
22:07
when you do do it, you love it. Like it's just objectively a
22:10
nice thing to get into a book. Somebody had given me a book the
22:11
other day and it was a great read and I started reading it got halfway
22:15
through. Still need to finish it, but it was like those moments where
22:18
you're like, oh my gosh, this is like you can't wait, challenging
22:22
me, but it's nice to well what it does do. And I'm in
22:25
the middle of a book myself. And by the way, Fargo Public Library,
22:27
if you're listening. I didn't lose the book. I do plan to
22:30
return it if you could just hold off on that fee. How long is
22:34
it overdue, Pike? What's a month? Two months? Yea, it's
22:37
been a long time. Okay, they are they charging you by the week?
22:41
By no, just send like we assume it's lost at this point.
22:44
So it's twenty six dollars. But I haven't seen the charge yet. In
22:45
fact, I don't think I gave him my card, so gep. But
22:51
anyway, no, I've been reading. It's here and there. One thing
22:52
is nice though, it's because when you're reading, you're not on your phone,
22:55
you're not looking at a screen, so it's like good for your brain,
22:59
I feel like totally. Because if you're watching the TV, it's easy
23:02
to just grab your you can hear. It's just easier. Yeah, So
23:04
what I'll do I've been doing is just put up a YouTube video on the
23:07
big TV and like, you know, throwing like a beach or some just
23:11
like the book. Yep, exactly. It's just to hear the waves crashing.
23:15
It's like you might as well be in a rubat. I mean,
23:18
it's quite nice really taking me to a place, all right, any romance
23:22
novel. Well, the best boyfriend from the romance novel. If you had
23:26
to guess, who would it be? Who's the top dog, the top
23:29
gun? I gotta go the Notebook. It's gotta be Noah ding Ding Noah
23:33
from the Notebook ground top book boyfriend. Only behind him would be Edward from
23:38
the Twilight series. I never actually read those. And then our guy Kristin
23:42
Gray. Oh I read those? Yeah you did? Really went through that
23:45
series quick? Yeah, what a time that was, like very really captured
23:49
the hearts and yeah, other things, women of women, women everywhere.
23:53
Yeah, did you get kicked out of the movie theater watching that movie?
23:56
I no, that was magic Mike with some co workers. It's not miney,
24:02
It's not any better. You really tied one on before the movie,
24:06
didn't you. No, it was just we were just laughing. No,
24:10
No, that wasn't the time, the long time ago. The top Book
24:15
girlfriends include Bella from Twilight, the Girl from fifty Shade to Great and Station.
24:22
Yeah, and then number one. This is a throwback. I don't
24:25
know if you've read this book or not. Juliette from Romeo and Juliet.
24:30
Where are the Number one spot? Is any in a book. Isn't that
24:34
a play or what? How do you categorize Shakespeare plumps? But there's I
24:38
mean, there's got to be son it. There's gotta be another one besides
24:45
Juliet Girl. That's what I can think of. I haven't read many romance
24:48
books. But we just watched the Romeo and Juliet Leonardo DiCaprio. One.
24:53
Did you see that in the nineties? It was like a young young Leo.
24:56
Was it called Shakespeare in Love or no, that's what Gwyneth Paltrow.
25:00
It's called Romeo and Juliet. I don't think I have, and I have
25:06
watched a lot of I don't usually read the books. I'll watch the movie.
25:08
But everybody says the movies are always or the books are other than it's
25:11
called Romeo and Juliet. So it's like this modern take on Shakespeare where they're
25:15
in these gangs. They're like street gangs. Really good stuff from out our
25:19
guy, Leo DiCaprio, nothing will beat the Titanic. I don't know,
25:22
man, he's really good in Romeo and Juliet. I get Amanda in the
25:26
morning. Now Amanda stills. Let's see, let's see David Beckham has sued
25:33
Mark Wahlberg's company over a fitness deal. So David Beckham says that in this
25:36
lawsuit, Wahlberg's company F forty five duped him into signing an F forty five
25:41
training contract. Well, Wahlberg owns about thirty six percent of this. He
25:45
got a membership there, David Beckham working out at his local F forty five.
25:55
They no, they tricked him. They tricked him. They were like,
25:57
oh, you gotta do this. No, So he's also the company's
26:00
chief brand officer. So Beckham, I guess, became really close with Mark
26:04
Wahlberg when he moved to Cali to play for the La Galaxy. So basically
26:08
he said, you can be a global ambassador. He was gonna get paid
26:11
ten million dollars and they used him for his social media following well after the
26:15
company is stock tanked at forty five. Asked the judge to eighty six of
26:19
the lawsuit, calling it fraudulent. But he's still saying, no, you
26:22
owe me ten million dollars because he did all these posts and everything, and
26:26
he's not the only one. Durell Owens also filed the lawsuit back in twenty
26:30
seventeen. Saying that they stiffed him out at seven hundred thousand dollars. Interesting,
26:34
So I wonder how much Wallbrig has to do with it, because you
26:37
feel like if it was him in charge, he'd be like, yeah,
26:38
do I'll get you the money. You would think so. But he's a
26:41
company's chief brand officers and he's just like the face of it. Basically he's
26:47
invested in this. He also, yeah, has like thirty six percent interest,
26:51
is what they say. So we'll see how it all plays out.
26:52
But I read that headline, I'm like, oh boy, his boys,
26:55
he can't. Speaking of the Beckums, the Spice Girl reunited over the weekend,
27:00
Victoria Beckham celebrated her fiftieth birthday and they did an imp impromptu performance.
27:07
Everything about this is glorious of and they're dancing. They got the choreography down,
27:15
like I'm gonna guess, And I know, Amanda, you were dancers.
27:17
You'll know. It just comes right back to you. Hear this song
27:19
and you're just like, bam, bam, here we go. Yeah,
27:23
my wife, we hear songs that her high school team dance to and just
27:26
remembers everything. You know. Now, they didn't do it on stage,
27:29
which would be cool. But well, David Beckham shared it and said,
27:32
I mean come on, and then mel B she put it in her stories
27:36
on Instagram and said about last night and included the hashtag to her dates coming
27:40
soon. Oh yes, I guess be a joke. Well, she said
27:44
back in January that they were working on getting back together. So, but
27:48
it's always without Victoria. That's the whole thing, right. I feel like
27:52
they're gonna bring her back. It seems like unless it's in her living room,
27:56
she won't be reuniting. And when Taylor Swift says, yeah, gotta
28:02
keep it a secret, Yeah, gotta keep it a secret. Josh Charles
28:04
surprise fans with the cameo and Taylor's Fortnite music video along with Ethan Hawk,
28:10
and they had shared it on Friday, saying they all had so much fun.
28:14
But he's admitting it was really hard to keep it a secret. He
28:18
didn't even tell his kids until the other day. Now, Josh Charles,
28:19
I don't even know that name, but you know damn yeah. But do
28:23
you know why they were in it? No? See, this was incredible.
28:26
We were watching the video Friday night it came out, and so we
28:30
put it on the TV, and I see this Ethan Hawk and this guy.
28:33
I'm like, wait a minute. They were in Dead Poets Society,
28:37
the Robin Williams movie, which you which You've been giving me a hard time
28:41
because I keep calling the Tortured Poet's Department Dead Poets Society, And obviously I'm
28:45
not the only one. Are you kidding? She's like kind of having fun
28:49
with it too, So she got the guys from the Dead Poets Society.
28:52
I'm like, that's incredible. I couldn't believe it, couldn't believe. I
28:56
was in awe. You know, I was just reading an article in Rolling
28:59
ste and you have a lot of friends who are swifty fans and stuff.
29:03
It's all over the board, like I think people are. It's not a
29:06
love it or hated. It's a whoa, You're just getting a raw,
29:08
authentic tailor and maybe a couple of the songs are gonna hit for you.
29:11
But I don't think she cares. It's it's a very odd situation, if
29:18
that makes sense. Like, and then she's showing her like YouTube shorts over
29:21
the weekend, pictures of her and trave in the kitchen. Oh yeah,
29:25
ed uh not ed yeah, Ed Kelsey, Travis's dad. Yeah, there's
29:29
a song and a little nod to him in there. I'm like, she's
29:32
just toying with everybody in a way, but yet just doing her thing,
29:36
like doing more what she wants. You know, she's not worried about putting
29:38
hits out. They're filling dance floors out that And I think there's a few
29:41
lyrics in there that are questionable and people are going, whoa, whoa,
29:44
whoa, what's this about. It's like, hey, she's just she's an
29:47
artist. She's saying things that rhyme maybe not exactly true. But also,
29:51
did you see you're talking about like Travis being a gamer? I know of
29:55
some of her stuff. I'm like, this is just funny, Like it's
29:56
just dammer like video video game. It was like, how uh what is
30:00
that one? Where the is it Grand Theft Auto? Oh? You know
30:04
what, You're right, I did see that something about touching me while your
30:07
boys play Grand Theft Otto, not everything about it. I'm like, wait
30:11
a minute, So there's some there's some questionable things going on there, and
30:17
it makes you wonder. But I'm like, Okay, is it for the
30:18
song or is that what's going on and not. Everything is a lyric,
30:22
you know. It wasn't her finest work that there
