  Speaker 3: Hey, I like that.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: It might not quite be the Backstreet Boys, but Angie
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: is back in the studio today.
• 0:13
  Speaker 3: Thank you.
• 0:14
  Speaker 4: How are you feeling, girl?
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: I feel like I still have a lingering cough. Isn't
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: that the final thing always? Always. Like you get back
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: to feeling as good as you can, but then it's
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: this little cough that tries to show up.
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: But other than that, I'm good.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: And I had to take, I mean, I was gone
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: like four days last week.
• 0:32
  Speaker 4: I know.
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: Honestly, I haven't seen anybody since last Monday.
• 0:36
  Speaker 4: Does it feel so good to see real people again?
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: Yes, because it was just me and the couch and
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: electrolytes trying to make it through.
• 0:45
  Speaker 4: Well, we're glad you're alive.
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: Thank you.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: I remember talking to you on Thursday and I'm not
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: trying to be rude. But you sounded like garbage.
• 0:55
  Speaker 4: Oh, I know.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: I talked to you a little bit on FaceTime, and
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: we had a conversation as well as you were being
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: very respectful of obviously trying to get yourself better. Well, yeah,
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: but also you.
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: Have a baby.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: I do have a kid, yeah.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so I didn't want to get Kaylee sick. If
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: you didn't have a kid, I would get you sick
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: all day.
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: I don't care.
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: Wouldn't matter.
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: Wouldn't matter.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: And it sounds like it's something that might be going
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: around because you did post something on Facebook while you
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: were away from work for being sick here. And Catherine said,
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: I think we have all had it get well soon.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: And Becky also added feel better. Hit our house to
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: yay germs.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think everybody going back to school and like
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: Mikey's a teacher. So he's got that set of germs
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: coming home.
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: And then my kids are at school.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: And then none of them got sick. It was just me.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: So that was great.
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: Here you go, honey.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: Take all of this.
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: And then your boy's like, here, mom, you take it.
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: You be sick. So you had like double whammy.
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: I really did.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: But I'd rather myself be sick than the kids or
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: than Mikey because I don't feel like taking care of
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: him if he's sick.
• 1:58
  Speaker 5: Because when a guy gets sick, it's the worst.
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: The end of the world. Seriously is. You guys are
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: kind of annoying. Gabe, yeah, you know. You don't know,
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: but we know.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: When I'm sick, the entire universe is going to know
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: I'm sick because I will let you know how bad
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: it is. I can't move. I can't get out of bed.
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: It's like one little sniffle. Poor me.
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: Such a man thing.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: I will say thank you, Megan, for stepping in because
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: I know Gabe was having some lonely days there and
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: it's just not as fun to do a show solo.
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: It's not. And he looked like a lonely puppy. Those
• 2:32
  Speaker 5: little puppy dog eyes like I'm just so lonely.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: It is interesting when you're in the studio and this
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: is for anybody, but it is interesting if you are
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: in the studio or at your place of work. And,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: you know, you have your work bestie and they're gone.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: And immediately you want to send them the middle finger emoji. Yeah.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: But hey, thanks. But when you're in here, you know,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: you're sort of just like talking to four walls. And
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Megan was nice enough on Friday to step in and go, hey,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: you know what? I'm here. I'm going to hang out
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: with you and keep you company. So I didn't feel
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: like such a loner.
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: You and you did. You were so lonely. But yeah,
• 3:06
  Speaker 5: you need that.
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: Conversing. It helps sometimes.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: And we enjoyed having Megan in the studio so much
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: on Friday that we were like, hey, you want to
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: just come back on Monday and hang out longer with us?
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: So thank you once again, Megan, for being here today.
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: Stay with us forever. Together we outnumber Gabe.
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: This is the best.
• 3:25
  Speaker 5: As somebody who grew up with three brothers, like It's
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: nice to have another girl on my side.
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: Okay, see, payback time.
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: Watch out.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: You know, it is crazy when you think about the
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: amount of ladies I hang out with and am forced
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: to hang out with on a daily basis. Forced. You two, wife, daughter,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: I have a girl dog, I have a bunch of
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: girl cats. You're welcome.
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: Sounds like you're the luckiest guy in the world right now.
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: That part.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Celebrating life's little victories. Victory. Every morning we practice gratitude
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: on Big 98.7. If I could, I would keep this
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: feeling in a plastic jar. Bust it out whenever someone's
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: acting hard. I just really needed to win, you know.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: Share your little victories with us at 701-280-1987. All right, Megan,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: I'll let you kick it off here this morning. Do
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: you have a little victory today?
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: Talk about pressure right away. Actually, I mean, besides the
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: Vikings actually winning yesterday.
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: So I just moved into this new house of mine
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: and I have been slowly trying to unpack.
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: And you know how. when you like oh you have
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: a few things here I.
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: Have not decorated I haven't really like unpacked those boxes
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: until this weekend and now it actually starts to feel
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: like home like it feels cozy in there now right
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: like those decorations like you don't realize how much they
• 4:47
  Speaker 5: mean to you until they start going up in your
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: house yeah.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: Because those first you know for some of us months,
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: when you move in somewhere and you haven't unpacked anything,
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: it still just feels like, am I in a warehouse?
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: What is this?
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: It's echoing and all that. Yeah, no, I got all that.
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: That's all personalized.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: It is. There is a sigh of relief that I
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: feel like anyone has when they move into somewhere. It's,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: you know, whether it's weeks, months, sometimes maybe even a
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: year where you just like, oh, it's home.
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: I mean, don't get me wrong.
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: There's still a lot of boxes in the garage, but
• 5:17
  Speaker 5: at least it's starting to feel like home.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: Oh, good.
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: I love that.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: Angie, do you have a little victory today?
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: I do not like carving pumpkins of all the, I
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: live for Halloween crafts, but carving pumpkins is not it.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: And my kids also don't like it. So yesterday we
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: decided instead that we would paint skulls.
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: Oh, that's brilliant.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: So I got these little like skull figurine things and
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: we took the time and we painted the skulls. I,
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: the boys though.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Not what you wanted?
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: They, And they are artistic children, but they also just
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: kind of do that thing where like, let me just
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: get this done. So a few of the skulls just
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: look like they were dipped in dog crap.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Just some graffiti or whatever.
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: Like it's not good.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah. But at least we did a Halloween craft.
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: And that's important to me because it's.
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: About to be October.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: It's spooky season. We got to be doing all the
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: crafts now.
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: And we need those pictures. We need to see them.
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: Oh, gosh.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: Fine. Yeah.
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: I'll post. I'll post.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Well, coming up here at 641, Kaylee had a big weekend.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: And so I'll have more of this story a little
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: bit later. But just a quick, short little victory for me.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: And I never thought I would feel like this. But
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: I was with a bunch of friends and family this weekend.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: And I was with some buddies, you know, Passing Kaylee around,
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: everyone taking a turn to hold her. And she was
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: getting kind of fussy with some of my buddies. Yeah.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: And when she went back to dad, instantly not fussy,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: which made me feel pretty good.
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: She likes you.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: You recognize dad? That was one of those feelings I
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: didn't expect to have, and then I did. Yeah, right.
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: My daughter knows me.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: Drop it, drop it.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: Big 98.7. Baby, baby, baby.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: Oh, like baby, baby. If you're just tuning in this
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: morning and do not know this, I have a two-month-old daughter.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: Her name is Kaylee. Kaylee had her first big, giant
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: road trip this weekend.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: Oh, boy.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: She has never been in the car for more than
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: whatever the longest car ride is in the FM area.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: So 20 minutes?
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: 20 minutes, yes.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: She hopped in the car and did a three-and-a-half-hour drive
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: to go to Grandma and Grandpa's house for the first time.
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: And?
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: And.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: Thank all that is holy. She basically slept the entire time.
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: Oh, my gosh. What a dream.
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: I was just thinking that. Like, thank you, Lord.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we got to about, like, 30 minutes, 28 minutes.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: And I could hear, like, wake up and kind of
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: ruffling behind me. And I'm going, oh, God, no. We're
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: so close. Can you please just shut your eyes again?
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: And she did. And then at about 15 minutes, she
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: did start to get a bit fussy. But at that point,
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: it's like, well, what's the speed limit? Because I'm going
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: about seven over it.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: Wait, so she went to a different state, like they're
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: in Minneapolis, right?
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: That's right, yeah.
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: She already crossed state lines?
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, Corey and I were joking about that
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: in the car. There are some grown adult, like humans,
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: who don't go to a new state for like 30, 40,
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: if not 50 years.
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: But here she is, already two-stater girl at two months. Oh,
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: you need a third state by three months, I think.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: I think we should make that happen.
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: A tri-state baby.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right. She got to go to her first
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: Twins game, which she will never remember. What am I
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: good at?
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: As long as you have pictures to prove that it happened.
• 8:41
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: One of my good buddies had these club level tickets,
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: you know, humble brag.
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: Oh, so she's already living the good life at two
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: months is what you're saying.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: She wasn't, you know, up in the nosebleeds and sitting
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: in the rain. So it was very nice that we
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: if he didn't have those, she probably wouldn't have got
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: to go. just because it was raining. There was a
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: two hour delay. It was kind of a nightmare unless
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: we had that club level area to hang out in.
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: So did you stay the entire game with her?
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: We got to about the sixth inning. So but at
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: that point, we had been there for like five hours
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: or four hours or something like that.
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: And she lasted that long. It's impressive.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: She did. She napped as we were walking in, which
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: was great.
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: Club style.
• 9:25
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: And then she napped from like the third inning to
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: the fifth inning or something like that. And then she
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: woke up and we everyone in the group.
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: Sixth inning stretch.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Everyone in the group was like, yeah, it's I
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: think it's probably time to go because I had buddies
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: who had kids and they were getting pretty fussy. I mean,
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: that's a long time for young kids to sort of
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: sit around and be entertained, you know.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: The thing I'm gathering from this is that, Megan, you
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: and I are living a way worse life than a
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: two-month-old baby.
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: I'm so jealous.
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: I gathered that same thing where I'm like, you know what?
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: I unpacked at my house this weekend.
• 9:59
  Speaker 5: I was not up in club seats at a Twins game,
• 10:03
  Speaker 5: mind you.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: It'll be very cool when she's older and can kind
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: of realize stuff and be able to... Tell her, hey,
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: you've been to a Twins game. Do you even know that? Obviously,
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: she's not going to remember it, but it was a
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: very cool family moment, so I don't mean to get
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: all family on you this early in the morning, but
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: it was pretty adorable.
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: Can you be our dad, Gabe? I know, I'm jealous.
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: Take us to the game, please.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: Drop it, drop it. Big 98.7. This is Am I
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: the Problem?
• 10:28
  Speaker 5: It's me.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: We'll hear one side of the story and with your help,
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: Am I the problem? decide if it's right or if
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: maybe you're the problem. I'm hardly the problem.
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: On Big 98.7.
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: Hi, Big 98.7. My name is Leanne.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: Want to get your opinion on my decision to not
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: attend my cousin's wedding. No one can bring a plus
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: one unless you're married to the person. She wants to
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: keep the guest list down to keep the wedding small.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: But I've been with my boyfriend for a year and
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: we live together now and she won't make an exception
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: for him. She said if he proposes, I can bring
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: him as a plus one. I told her I won't
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: be attending her wedding then. She seemed fine with it,
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: but probably because it keeps.
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: The wedding's small.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: Saving 20 bucks on a plate there. Exactly.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: But my parents are mad at me now. They said
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: it's a small family wedding and I should go and
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: that my boyfriend shouldn't be offended. My boyfriend isn't offended.
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: I am and I feel like I'm perfectly justified in
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: not going.
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: What do you think?
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: Is Leanne justified in skipping her cousin's wedding or are
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: her parents right in saying, hey, you should just bite
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: the bullet and go?
• 11:52
  Speaker 5: OK, as somebody who has lived with boyfriends before, I
• 11:58
  Speaker 5: think it's OK.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: I agree.
• 12:01
  Speaker 5: I would not skip it personally because family is family,
• 12:04
  Speaker 5: especially if it's a first cousin. It's one thing if
• 12:05
  Speaker 5: it's like a third or fourth cousin, you're not that close,
• 12:07
  Speaker 5: like whatever, do that. But it sounds like it's a
• 12:10
  Speaker 5: close family member. I can see both sides, but I
• 12:14
  Speaker 5: think that you would regret it if you don't go.
• 12:17
  Speaker 5: You might not think that now, but future you will.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah. In 10 years, you'll probably go. I really should
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: have just went to the wedding. I'm not even dating
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: this guy anymore. I should probably go. I actually kind
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: of like when people sort of put their foot down
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: and stick to it. So I'm sort of a fan
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: of her being like, all right, I'm out. I'm not going.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: There is something about standing 10 toes down and holding
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: to that. I wish we had more information about how
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: close her and this cousin were. Are they like good friends?
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: Did they grow up hanging out a lot?
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: Missing some info.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, did they? Is it like a cousin who lived
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: three hours away and you kind of saw him around
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: the holidays every year? So I am a fan of
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: when people say I'm not going to do something and
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: then don't do it. So I don't know if that
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: is me picking a side or not. I would say
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: if you don't want to go, you want to support
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: your boyfriend. Don't go.
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: What are your thoughts? 701-280-1987.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: We also have this up on the big 98.7 Facebook page.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: Is Leanne justified in skipping her cousin's wedding because she
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: won't allow the plus one?
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: What would you say?
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: Gosh, I think just leave your boyfriend at home and
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: go to the wedding.
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: I think it's. Oh, silly hill to die on.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: And as much as I live to die on a
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: silly hill, I feel like this one.
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: Just go.
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: Your parents are mad at you.
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: I can't stand my mom being mad at me. So
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: I would just go.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. I've also never not had fun at a wedding.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: So you're going to go there and you're going to
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: have fun. I mean, maybe just leave. Leave boy toy
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: at home for one weekend and you'll be fine.
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: It's a vacation from the boyfriend.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: It's okay.
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: 701-280-1987.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: Where do you stand on today's Am I the Problem?
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: Let us know this morning. Big 98.7.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: Leanne's cousin is getting married, but the rule is you
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: don't get a plus one unless you're married. Leanne has
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: a boyfriend of a year, and she thinks she should
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: be able to go. Her cousin's like, no, we're keeping
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: the wedding small. And so Leanne has decided, fine, I'm
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: not going to.
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: The wedding then. And her cousin was like, all right.
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: But now Leanne's parents are mad at her, saying it's family.
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: You should go even if you can't bring your boyfriend
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: with you. So what do you do in this situation?
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, 701-280-1987. Let us know what you think this morning.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: Call us. Give us a text. Megan and I are
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: kind of on different sides of the table, sort of.
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: Sort of is right.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 14:47
  Speaker 5: Well, I honestly think that she's going to re-read it
• 14:50
  Speaker 5: down the way because it's family.
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: And one day you're going to look at it and
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: be like, I should have went. All my family was there.
• 14:56
  Speaker 5: I think especially if you're closer, like your first cousin
• 14:59
  Speaker 5: or something like that.
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: I just that's what I think.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I like when people say they're going to do
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: something and then actually stick to it. So if you're
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: not good, if you say I'm not going to go
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: and then you go. For the rest of the life
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: you have with your family, you're the girl who threatened
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: to not go to a wedding and then, you know,
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: chickened out and showed up. So stand ten feet or
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: ten toes down and you stay home and support that
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: man of yours.
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: We also have this up on Facebook and it looks
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: like everybody is split decision like with themselves.
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: They're like, I see both sides.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: OK, thanks for going out on a limb.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: So I think for me, I would go with Megan
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: on this one. I would go just leave the boyfriend
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: at home, whatever. But if your cousin seemed fine with it,
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: because Leanne said her cousin was like, all right. then
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: I think the real question is, can you handle your
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: parents being mad at you? And I personally cannot. I'm
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: very terrified of my mother. And so if she was
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: going to be mad at me, I would do anything
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: for her to not be mad. So I think, Leanne,
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: that's kind of you got to decide. Is it worth
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: it to you to, you know? Stand 10 toes down,
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: as Gabe would say, but have your parents be mad?
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: Or do you just, like, bite the bullet and go?
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: Me and Megan are going to the wedding for you.
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: If you want.
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: We can.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: Please.
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: Plus, we're not plus ones. We're now family.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: We also just got a text from Jenna who said
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: she's another split decision. I get both sides. The cousin
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: has every right to keep her guest list small. And
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: Leanne has every right to say no. But the parents
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: are the one I'd be mad at. Leanne, she said,
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: if your boyfriend truly doesn't care, maybe just go and
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: have fun. If it still bothers you, don't just don't
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: let it turn into a family feud. I think that's
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: probably the most sound advice we've seen so far.
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: The biggest one.
• 16:51
  Speaker 5: Don says, I personally think it is ridiculous that you
• 16:54
  Speaker 5: can't bring a plus one, but it is her wedding,
• 16:56
  Speaker 5: her rules.
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: And since you're both fine with it, everyone else just
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: needs to move on. Mom and dad need to move on.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: Leanne, he just told your parents to shut up.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: I think weddings, you know, you hear all the time,
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: like it's the bride and groom's day. They can make
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: and set whatever rule or expectation they want, which is true.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: The one decision they don't get is if you go
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: or not. So you don't, you don't have to feel
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: any pressure to be there. You know what I'm saying?
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: Like if you don't like what a groom or a
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: bride has going on at a wedding, you.
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: Can stay home.
• 17:26
  Speaker 5: I mean, and her cousin Leanne already says she's fine
• 17:29
  Speaker 5: with her not coming again.
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: How old are your cousins? Like they're trying to save money.
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: So I guess. You know, not having you there is
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: what she's okay with.
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: I mean, per plate can be expensive.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: We did just also get a text from Kayla who said,
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: Leanne is not the problem. A year together and living
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: together is a serious relationship. If my cousin invited me
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: but told me my partner wasn't welcome, I'd stay home too.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: Her cousin can plan a small wedding, but Leanne doesn't
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: have to attend. Also, parents need to back off. Kayla
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: coming in hot from West Fargo this morning.
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: Oh, my gosh.
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: I do not.
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: This going against the parents is making me sweat.
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: I don't like it.
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: I couldn't do it. But your mom might get mad.
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: Mine would just be disappointed. And that's worse.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: Not mad. I'm just disappointed. Now, speaking of the rain,
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: we received this voice memo from over the weekend. And
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: for some reason, I kind of feel like this was
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: directed at Megan a little bit. Also, if you're just
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: tuning in this morning, Megan hung out with me a
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: little bit last week and we just had so much fun.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: We decided to bring her on into the big 98.7
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: studio with Angie and myself. Angie is also back, so
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: big round of applause for that.
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: No longer sick, but we're keeping Megan forever.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: That's right, and I've got this voicemail, and Megan, you
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: are a dog mama. You have two beautiful, what are they, Aussie?
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: They're mini Aussies, yes.
• 19:05
  Speaker 5: Also can be terrifying because they're scared of everything.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: Well, I heard this voice memo and I went, I
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: think this is kind of directed at Megan. So take
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: a listen to what Sarah sent us over the weekend.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: My dog loves walking in the rain. The sunshine, he's
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: okay with, but the rain, he wants to be out
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: there all day and night. Is anyone else's dog like this? Megan,
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: do you have any dogs that prefer walking in the
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: rain than 70 and Sunny?
• 19:32
  Speaker 5: You know, my dogs don't mind going out in the rain,
• 19:34
  Speaker 5: but they come in pretty quickly because Mama says I
• 19:37
  Speaker 5: don't need wet-smelling dogs the whole time.
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: And I don't want to be walking out in the
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: rain the entire time either. That sounds miserable.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: So, like, you know, between one and four today when
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: we probably see a little rain in the FM area,
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to see out there with boots and
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: the rain jacket and the hat.
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: Oh, I mean, I will put those on. Now go potty.
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: Now inside.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: Let's go fast. It is incredible the things we would
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: do for our pets. Like I have a dog and
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: I've taken her for walks in blizzards. I've taken her
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: for walks.
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: Absolutely.
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: 10 degrees outside. And now Angie, I know you don't
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: have a pet, but you have expressed at some point
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: wanting like a pig in your life.
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: Oh, that's right. Yes, I did. I used to have
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: a pig back in the day.
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: R.I.P.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: Willie.
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: And I would like a pig again in this life.
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: But pigs are really low maintenance.
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: And I feel like.
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: With dogs, like you really do.
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: You have to really love having a dog.
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: You do.
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: To actually like have one and be a good pet
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: parent to them. Because that's what I don't get about.
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: How do you two do it in the weather that
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: we have here in Fargo? Like.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: What?
• 20:47
  Speaker 5: Especially like come like 30 below winter, like wind chill,
• 20:51
  Speaker 5: all that.
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: I bundle up like you wouldn't believe.
• 20:55
  Speaker 5: And you basically see the squint of my eyes because
• 20:58
  Speaker 5: I actually I wear ski goggles.
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: Who am I lying?
• 21:00
  Speaker 5: I literally have the warmest coat that hangs down to
• 21:03
  Speaker 5: my knees that I could find.
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: Plus the boots with the fur that come up all
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: basically to my knee.
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: Well, Rhino would be proud.
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: Thank you.
• 21:10
  Speaker 5: Thank you.
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: Thank you. Because my dogs love the snow. Absolutely love it.
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: Oh, my gosh. So you're not doing rain, but the
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: snow you'll endure?
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: I will.
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: You really love them.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: I do. Yeah, at that time of the year, that's
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: when I get, like, the bib overalls that are lined
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: and the boots, the whole nine yards. My dog, Winona,
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: she has a jacket that has a harness, like, connected
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: to it. We've gone about as far as you can
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: go to make her as comfortable as possible walking around
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: in the winter. You know, she's got the boots and
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: all that, the whole nine yards. Oh, yeah.
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: Megan, do your dogs have... like winter clothes.
• 21:45
  Speaker 5: Ride that once upon a time when I first got Mozzie,
• 21:48
  Speaker 5: which is my older one. And he walked funny and
• 21:51
  Speaker 5: he literally bit them off his feet, like yanked him
• 21:54
  Speaker 5: off as fast as he could. And now, now because they're,
• 21:57
  Speaker 5: they've got a longer fur. All he wants to do
• 22:00
  Speaker 5: is roll around. And if you are not throwing snowballs,
• 22:04
  Speaker 5: he will.
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: Be so mad at you. Oh my gosh, he's like
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: a kid. He loves it.
• 22:08
  Speaker 5: Like he will look at the snow so hard and
• 22:10
  Speaker 5: then at you like, why are you not throwing that
• 22:12
  Speaker 5: at me right now?
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, give me something to chase that it explodes when
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: it hits the ground.
• 22:17
  Speaker 4: Oh, he tries to catch him in the air. It's
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: his favorite thing in the world. When it snows, I will.
• 22:21
  Speaker 5: Take video because he's the happiest dog in the world
• 22:25
  Speaker 5: when it happens.
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: And speaking of all the things we do that are
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: probably a bit ridiculous for our dogs or our pets,
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: you have the chance to vote to get a like
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: a mayor with your your dog or cat.
• 22:38
  Speaker 5: Yeah, this is actually people in Fargo, West Fargo, Moorhead
• 22:41
  Speaker 5: and Horace can put their own pets on the ballot
• 22:43
  Speaker 5: to be have their either dog or cat be the
• 22:46
  Speaker 5: mayor of the Red River Valley. Like there's nominations going
• 22:50
  Speaker 5: through October 2nd and then the voting. They will pick
• 22:53
  Speaker 5: a candidate. who's ever got the most votes from each town.
• 22:57
  Speaker 5: And then on, I believe on the 16th is when
• 23:00
  Speaker 5: the voting's done. And the inauguration happens at Rover Days
• 23:04
  Speaker 5: at the Red River Market.
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: How cute is that?
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: That's what Megan's been doing for the past two and
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: a half hours, just voting for this.
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: Just voting for Dawkins. Okay, well, send me the link.
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: This is adorable.
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: They are cute because they even have slogans. I'm just saying.
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: Stop. Give me one of the slogans.
• 23:19
  Speaker 5: Well, one of the cats is nine lives and nine terms.
• 23:23
  Speaker 5: But I think my favorite.
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: I like that.
• 23:27
  Speaker 5: Is Oliver from Fargo says belly rubs will be free.
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: This is non-negotiable.
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: That's fair.
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: Vote them in right now.
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: I'm sold. Get to voting. What's the website people can
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: vote at, Megan?
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: It is pets.buildwithnovel.com.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: Drop it. Drop it.
• 23:41
  Speaker 5: Big 98.7.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: I need some good. Starting off the day with something good.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: This is Gabe's Good News on Big 98.7. When I
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: learned this this morning, I instantly started thinking of dad. Because.
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: After the hottest summer on record, a lot of lawns
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: in the FM area looking crispy, looking yellow, looking burnt.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: We have that in common. Experts are saying that brown
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: doesn't mean dead. So if you're sitting there going, oh, man,
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: my lawn's dead. Well, it's not. That's right. It's just dormant.
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: It's kind of like hibernating. And with cooler fall temperatures
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: and a recent... inch of rain probably going to add
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: to that at some point today lawns are starting to
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: bounce back look closely for tiny lagreen shoots especially in
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: those shady spots keep your mower set high around three
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: and a half to four inches and if your grass
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: is growing fertilize it by the end of september i
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: can just feel my dad going sigh of relief my
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: front lawn isn't completely shattered.
• 24:46
  Speaker 5: Same as my dad, but also thank you for all
• 24:48
  Speaker 5: the tips this morning because I was literally talking yesterday
• 24:51
  Speaker 5: about how I.
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: Need to mow the lawn now because it became green
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: and it grew. Like what just happened?
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah. What about you, Angie? How's your lawn holding up?
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: I thankfully rent and landscaping is part of that.
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: Heck yeah.
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: And I just look out the window and feel joy
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: because I didn't have to do that.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there was a point in time with my backyard
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: where the lawn, I mean, it just, and there's not
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: a ton you can really do. You know, it was
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: the hottest summer on record. We do have a sprinkler
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: system back there, but it's pretty tough to keep up
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: with the hottest summer ever.
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: Not to mention in some places they ask you not
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: to water your lawn.
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yep. So if your lawn is looking dusty, crusty,
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: and like it belongs in Vegas, I have good news
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: for you. It is or will bounce back. And you
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: know my favorite quote. We end the show every single
• 25:36
