Well, let's find out how weird we are. Okay, guys, I
0:02
think we've already answered that. People are like, y'all lost me. I'd
0:07
grease my throat. Every Monday, we do a little thing called is it
0:12
weird? Where you know, we all have those things we do in our
0:14
private time and we kind of think to ourselves, plaice, it's weird.
0:17
It might be the only one who does this, so we like to open
0:19
up about it and really just find out. So, Amanda, you have
0:23
something you're going to throw your in laws under the bus. Yeah, it
0:26
was not me that was weird. Over the long holiday weekend, we drove
0:30
to Iowa, rolled up to my in law's house, so this would have
0:32
been Tuesday, late night, and we really hit the in law lottery.
0:36
Sure did. When I went met my wife or dad lives in Florida.
0:39
How exciting. Yeah, you got in laws in Iowa's Oh yeah, no,
0:42
it's awes middle of Iowa beautiful. Yeah, just any excuse to be
0:46
able to vacation there and totally yep, exactly. No if you're listening from
0:51
Iowa anyway, roll up and we're unloading the car, and I just happened
0:59
to glance because they were like, oh, we'll have dinner for you whatever,
1:00
And look over and there's just like a huge thing of mashed potatoes sitting
1:04
on the counter. So keeping this is Tuesday night, a couple of days
1:08
before the big meal. Yeah, so I'm like, I get it.
1:11
There's twenty five people. Uh, Mama Lou was just mashing up potatoes,
1:15
getting them all ready hand mashing. I'm not sure because they were already mashed,
1:19
so I don't know the process. I did always insisted on hand mashing.
1:23
Yeah, listen, nobody's trying to cut calories on Thanksgiving Day. Be
1:30
generous with the butter and milk, okay for God's So speaking of that,
1:34
that's usually how you make mashed potatoes, right, butter, milk. Some
1:37
people add a little sour cream. Oh yeah, I'll love those dairy products.
1:41
Not us. It was like basically you took a whole raw potato and
1:44
like kind of cut in half a couple of times. See. Now I
1:47
wouldn't be as concerned if it was just the raw potato. But again,
1:51
this is Tuesday night and there's this big, huge pot of potatoes just sitting
1:56
out mashed up. Tuesday night. Yeah, went to bed. Yeah,
2:00
woke up on Wednesday, still sitting on the Oh, come on, sitting
2:06
there? Yeah, not sure, gone into the fridge and come back out
2:09
for some more preparation. No, no, no, I don't think they
2:12
were touched. Wednesday goes by and I'm just kind of like okay, and
2:15
then they're working on the stuffing and that's just kind of like sitting there,
2:17
which is fine, like whatever, there's it's a process. Thanksgiving is a
2:22
process. Wednesday night comes around, stop it. Those staters still just sitting
2:30
around, just for the world to see, right on the counter. At
2:35
this point, I text my sister in law and just say, hey,
2:38
we might be short of potatoes if you want some extra because I'm not eating
2:44
these potatoes. They've been sitting there. No, just wait, Thursday is
2:50
Thanksgiving and they're still just sitting there. And I think they heated them up
2:53
at some point, like just tossed him in, but they were just sitting
2:58
out. My brother in law did mention and like, ooh, they were
3:00
had a little weird flavor, and I'm thinking, yeah, that's something ill
3:04
on my friend sitting there for days now, I am putting away all the
3:09
food like we're putting things in tupperware. We still have. Believe it or
3:14
not, the mash potatoes hadn't really been touched, so they were in this
3:16
big bowl. So I thought they were just going out to either the dogs
3:21
were gonna eat it or because they've got labs or something. This thing of
3:24
mashed potatoes sat on the counter. We did not leave until yesterday. Saturday
3:29
night. We're watching the Iowa State game and I pop in get a little
3:32
extra wine in my glass, and I see my father in law get in
3:36
this bowl and he's eating the mashed potatoes. Come on that we're out on
3:40
Tuesday. What am I missing? Even if they're instant mashed potatoes, which
3:45
they weren't, you can't survive. I don't think it's a bit. I'm
3:49
not worried about the potatoes. I'm worried about the dairying. There is your
3:54
father in law still with us? I mean, I haven't heard from him
3:57
since last night. But I mean it's weird. I see my stepdad's kind
4:00
of the same way. We talk about this, like the leftover thing,
4:03
leaving the food out. Maybe they just have rock guts, you know what.
4:08
I don't know what it is. And did you eat the rest of
4:10
the meal, because now I'm like questioning everything I did with the things.
4:14
Yes, this reminds me of like, did you you know I love sequels?
4:16
Did you ever see the Scary movie sequel? No? Scary movie?
4:19
Too scary movie. It's an incredible franchise. But the second one, there's
4:25
the guy preparing the meal and he's got kind of this hook hand and he
4:29
serves these potatoes and he's stirring it with this with this deformed hand. And
4:33
that's sort of the vibe I'm getting from your in laws. No, I
4:38
I just in facts think that this is weird, so I thought i'd bring
4:41
it up. I don't I think that is weird? All right, Well
4:44
I can't hardly beat that, But I mean, is it weird that I,
4:49
uh, that I sit in the front seat of ubers by myself.
4:54
Yeah, they let you in the front seat. Oh, if you kind
4:57
of force the issue, they will. What do you mean force the issue?
5:00
What they have to like? They like? For example, they have
5:02
to have it available because if you have an uber X and you got four
5:05
people, you don't go four deep in the back. You gotta have somebody
5:09
sit up front. Did you have another Uber incident an incident. First of
5:14
all, no, I have a still I still maintain a four point nine
5:16
star rating as an Uber ride. We know what happened to the There was
5:19
one incident earlier this summer where I got into it with the guy who rudely
5:24
woke me up after I had fallen asleep in the five minute ride home,
5:28
screaming at me like you had just seen a ghost. But now, why
5:32
would you why would you want to sit next because I like, are you
5:34
playing with their radio having a little chit chat? You get in the back
5:38
seat. Well, Saturday night, we went out and met some friends in
5:41
Moorehead, had a lovely time, and responsibly got an Uber home. And
5:44
I knew that I hadn't really eaten. I was feeling a little woozy,
5:46
and you know, me and my car stuff very car sick, and so
5:49
I knew that if I was in the back seat, we might have an
5:53
issue, got it? So I saddled up in the front. And you
5:55
can tell you it's kind of weird about it. I'm gonna have a tummy
5:58
issue if I don't sit in the front. You don't get a four point
6:00
nine star rating by getting in the car and telling them you're about to throw
6:02
up, right, No, that's out of curiosity. You keep that to
6:05
yourself. But no, no, we had a nice level you ride.
6:09
I couldn't tell you what the person looked like. You don't remember the ride
6:12
whatsoever, But I don't worry. But you were in the front seat.
6:15
I can just see you programming Big ninety eight point seven on all of the
6:19
pre sets, like Amanda in the morning, Big ninety eight point seven,
6:24
you're ready, ready, that's he is piping hot today. Now Amanda stills
6:30
the sea. Let's see brought to buy a Valley Service mechanical. Well,
6:35
yesterday Taylor Swift wrapped up her heiress to her in Brazil and the family of
6:42
the girl who had passed away a couple of weeks ago from cardiac arrest.
6:45
They were under the VIP tent. They were all wearing shirts of the twenty
6:48
three year old's face on it. And you can only imagine that was just
6:51
one gesture that Taylor Swift probably did. You know what I mean, She's
6:55
not going to be the one to share everything because she does this stuff a
6:58
lot, very nice things that you know, it's not for the publicity.
7:00
She's just able to. You know, she's in a position to do good,
7:02
and she does good, yes, and something just so horrific, and
7:06
she probably feels to blame, even though you can't point fingers at her.
7:11
It's just the fact that that fan was there to see her. I mean,
7:14
that would be so hard. She's very protective of her fans, so
7:15
she probably feels some sort of responsibility for them when they're at her show,
7:18
which is just a horrible Obviously, you know she had no control over it,
7:24
Yeah, exactly. And so now she's going to be on a break
7:27
until her Tokyo show, which is going to be Super Bowl weekend, she
7:30
gets out of here. So is she going to be at all the Chiefs
7:32
games? Now that's kind of the question people are wondering. And if she
7:35
is, is it finally going to be like, Okay, Taylor's just at
7:39
the games? I hope. So what more can we say? I mean,
7:42
haven't they milked it dry already? Amana? When't you say they've milked
7:44
it dry already? I think it's a it's something there. What Chiefs play
7:49
Sunday Night? Sunday Night, it historic lambeau Field where they'll be playing the
7:55
Red Hot Green Bay Packers. So I mean, is she going to go
7:58
to a game knowing full well that going to lose. Oh stop, it'll
8:01
look like a bozo privius Kelsey probably won't even have a catch. Oh whatever,
8:05
he will have a catch, and I have a feeling she might go,
8:09
I don't know, we'll see, oh he's got a catch, all
8:11
right, Well yeah right, we'll I'll be waiting to find out. But
8:13
she has her birthday coming up on December thirteenth. No pressure at all,
8:18
Travis Kelce. But what do you get Taylor Swift for her birthday? Probably?
8:22
I mean the girl who can get anything she wants. I mean,
8:26
I feel like you just gotta go super casual, like just send her flowers,
8:30
do something not over the top. But it's like we're just together and
8:33
celebrating. What would be something he could get her that would ruin the ViBe's
8:37
like renree or something. I don't know. But her focus right now is
8:41
on her fans on her birthday. So if you did not see her eras
8:43
concert to her, the film is going to be available to watch it at
8:46
home, and she added three different songs on it, so you'll be able
8:50
to get your hands on that you guessed it on her birthday. Oh so
8:54
December, isn't that your birthday? Also? I no, mine's three days
8:56
later, so you have plenty of time to celebrate Taylor's birthday. And then
9:01
my birthday. It's on a Saturday, so you'll be fine. I gotta
9:03
think of something. I won't be here. Oh yeah, And not only
9:07
do you not get me gifts for my birthday, you actually throw alternative parties
9:11
and invite the people that were supposed to come to my party one time for
9:13
what you're not twenty It was my twenty first birthday. Nobody came because Amanda
9:18
invited everybody else to my house to her house for a house party. She
9:22
was like twenty five or somebody. But you showed up and I fed you
9:24
blueberries. I was sitting at the Cadillac Ranch by myself on my twenty first
9:28
birthday, so of course I had no other honors. I lived in Frontier
9:31
at the time. Do you know what a hike that was to get to
9:35
the Cadillac Ranch on a Friday night. It's eleven minutes. Just get it
9:39
right on twenty nine. Now it does, but before it was it was
9:41
far anyway. Bradley Cooper. He is sitting down for a bunch of interviews
9:48
and one one guy asked him, Hey, why why is he doing a
9:50
bunch of interviews. He's promoting in a film. He's in a film.
9:54
Yes, I cannot think of the name of it. But he was asked
9:56
if he'd want to do a Hangover another one, and I said, yeah,
10:00
I'd love to do Hangover five, and then he kind of back darts,
10:01
He's like, oh, we should probably do Hangover four first. Well,
10:05
if you want to do two things in order, I suppose, But
10:07
I also went, huh, I miss Hangover three. Hangover three they ended
10:11
up back in Vegas for some reason not remember. It was definitely the most
10:15
forgettable one. The first one is an all time classic, absolute classic.
10:18
The second one was pretty good. Whether they're in Bangkok, Thailand as we
10:22
were just talking, did you see that somebody is talking about doing an ELF
10:26
remake? Like? Why remake some of these that are just classics? I
10:30
know, the Hangover I get if you're doing a sequel with the same guy
10:33
of that, that makes sense to me. Even if one of the guys
10:35
dips out, you can still make that a classic. But Elf, yeah,
10:37
I don't see the need for that, even a Barbie, did you
10:41
see Margo? Robbie said that Barbie will probably not be getting a sequel,
10:43
which not that she was in charge, but she is Barbie. Yeah,
10:46
and you don't need to It was just a good classic movie. Does it
10:50
need to be done again? I mean not all sequels are good, but
10:54
some were home runs, such as Home Loan two, American Pie two,
11:00
Scary movie too, I mean Angerman two. You lost me at Angerman Actually,
11:05
scary movie is hilarious. Really yeah, well one didn't get me.
11:09
He did say he loves the guys he'd love to do and he said,
11:11
however, he doesn't think it's gonna happen, because I think it's Todd Phillips
11:15
does not of all the actress it again, I think that's Doug do Doug,
11:20
Yeah, the guy that's in the first five minutes of the film.
11:22
Then they find any excuse to cut out for the very rest of it until
11:26
the last scene that guy, so you meaning Doug. Maybe Doug passes and
11:30
then they go and celebrate his life and just move on. Oh guess yeah,
11:31
you Doug, you don't want to do the movie, Todd, Guess
11:33
what Doug's dead, and we know she's a wild card of the family.
11:41
Northwest, she uh is just a razin the met Gala looks and on the
11:46
Kardashians the other night, and she was talking about some of them, one
11:50
of them being what could have been her stepdadd hat it you're going to the
11:56
met gallape station. Oh doesn't he still have a tattoo of Northwest name on
12:05
its well? Yeah, which first of all was just an insane thing to
12:09
do. And now she's no. And I don't know if you remember the
12:13
look, but Kim Kardashian had all these pearls just hanging on her, kind
12:16
of like a belly situation. Yeah, North was not a fan. I
12:20
like the pearls. I just don't like that it looks like from the dollar
12:24
store. You give me a real live set of pearls and a dollar store
12:28
set of pearls. You can you can tell me you can be able to
12:31
tell the difference, especially as a nine year old. Come on, now,
12:33
yes, we know the difference between what's a real pearl necklace and not.
12:37
Yeah, okay, gee, I've seen a real pearl necklace and it
12:41
doesn't look like that, or it does it does it does. It does
12:45
look like that, Amanda in the morning on Big Well, now, I
12:50
hope you all have soliday, made some more memories, some holiday memories with
12:54
the family. With the long Thanksgiving weekend, I know we both had a
12:56
great time. Amanda made the long road trip to premiere destination absolutely the middle
13:03
of Iowa. Yeah, no, it it was good. We left on
13:05
Tuesday. We like to go a day early just because of the travel.
13:09
It's about eight and a half hours and then to kind of regroup. It's
13:13
just a lot. When you get there, it's Thanksgiving bam, and then
13:16
you're gone. I don't think it's a because you got a four and a
13:18
three year old. Yeah, how on earth did they do that? Okay,
13:20
so the way there was a real struggle. Buss picked them up from
13:24
daycare and I thought, oh, for sure, they'll want to take a
13:26
quick nap. So my husband said something along the lines of, hey,
13:31
we'll be there if you take a good nap, you know what I mean,
13:35
Like it makes the time go by. So I think they decided,
13:37
let's take a short nap and then we'll just be there. That's how that
13:41
works. Each slept for maybe twenty minutes. We were jamming out to some
13:45
old school music. We were playing the game where there were actually a lot
13:48
of hills in Iowa where we were at, so every time we'd go up
13:50
the hill, the kids acted like they were on a roller coaster. I
13:54
mean, I pulled out all the mom stops. Really did you? Lauren
13:58
and I we drove to Duluth, you know, and we were quizzing each
14:01
other on the state capitols. Did you guys do that? U? No,
14:03
we were. We went around said what we were thankful for, We
14:07
did the you know, Santa Christmas List? What else do we do?
14:11
Played a game like I found this game where you have to ask your kids
14:13
a bunch of questions about yourself thirty minutes else, what did you do for
14:16
the rest of the eight hours? At one point, though, after we
14:20
lost Big ninety eight point seven, we were cranking up some old jams throwbacks
14:24
and uh, Booty Booty, Booty Booty rocket everywhere. Miss New Booty came
14:28
on and I am just dancing right and Sydney's kind of like interseat, kind
14:33
of concerned, like what's mommy doing anyway? I look at my husband,
14:37
I go that was one of my ring tones back oh and your daughters.
14:43
What that is? What is that? Mom? What's a ring tone?
14:46
Anyway? Just good old fashion did you man? Ring tones? And that's
14:50
why now we still weren't even halfway there. By the time we wound god
14:54
well, four and a half hours. Did Luth was plenty for me driving
14:56
across the state of Minnesota two lane highway. You know, every h every
15:00
grand parent on the way to their family's Thanksgiving going. We had a lovely
15:05
time. It was good. I mean, d Luth, Minnesota truly a
15:07
gem. I mean like, I'm thankful that my in laws are from there
15:09
because it's so fun. So yes, and we always want to go.
15:13
I saw, did you go to Bentleyville? We did Friday night. We
15:16
went to Bentleyville, which is like their massive light display. I posted some
15:20
of the videos, but it's like, man, if you weren't in the
15:22
holiday spirit, yeah, go to Bentleyville. It's insane. They literally it's
15:24
like a million dollars a year they spend to build this giant walk through light
15:28
display. Santa Claus is there. They got all these fire pits where you
15:33
can make you know, s'mores hot chocolate. I feel like my kids might
15:35
be still a little too little for that trek, because you would go on
15:39
a Friday and be back on a Sunday. I feel like that needs to
15:41
be where they aren't stopping every few minutes. No, of course, yeah,
15:45
but no, it was an overall lovely time of the in laws.
15:48
We even got out. We went to on Thanksgiving night. You know,
15:50
I know, like Mix does it locally where they open on Thanksgiving evening for
15:52
us degenerate who want to get out of the house and have a couple of
15:56
cocktails. So we went to a local dive bar and you know, it's
15:58
fun. Get is like Lauren going back to her hometown where everybody kind of
16:03
gets together. Or does she still have friends there? Yeah, a little
16:04
bit. So there was a few friends of hers and her siblings who are
16:07
out, and you know, one of them was interesting Amanda. She had
16:11
an interesting proposition for Lauren and I the sister No, no, no,
16:15
a friend's is just a friend. Yeah it was. I had not found
16:19
myself in this particular predicament before. But she wanted to go to your in
16:25
laws for she wanted to go, and because she wanted to take the party
16:30
and just kind of narrow it down to just the three of us in any
16:33
ways, Thanksgiving night that went into luth You know, I didn't know how
16:38
to handle Yeah, I was just I'm gonna ask her you handled that situation.
16:42
More importantly, how did Lauren handle that situation? Did you just go
16:45
I don't know. I think please I tell you. I sent her a
16:48
text. I'm like, you know what's going on here? Right? I
16:51
know we never this is new for us, So what is protocol? You
16:55
know, It's like when you have a house fire, you gotta have a
16:56
plan. Did you gotta have a plan? Were you yelling banana banana?
17:02
Look? Do you guys have a safe work? Might have been sending the
17:07
wrong message if I started yelling banana banana like a Manda in the morning on
17:14
Big Nutty eight points. Well, I know Amanda wants to debate the fact
17:18
that it is, in fact the season of love. What you know,
17:23
those Hallmark movies, that's what it's all about. No, that is true.
17:26
I apologize. That was really a ridiculous statement I had made. I
17:30
just Valentine's Day one day, okay, Santa, and then it goes into
17:34
melentin's' it's Santa and love. Okay. There's a lot going on here in
17:38
December. And if you're looking to make a woman fall in love with you,
17:42
I got a few tricks for you. Not that you want to trick
17:45
a woman into loving you. That's not the best way to go about it.
17:48
But if you did want to, it's like a trap. You fallen
17:52
in love with the man before. Tell me if these things would work.
17:56
One know what her favorite outfit is with you in it? So her favorite
18:02
outfit that you wear? Oh god, I thought you were being dirty for
18:06
a second, like your favorite outfit that you're in. No, we don't.
18:11
Don't put on her clothes, although that might work too. You know,
18:14
I knew back in the day. You know what Lauren would really would
18:17
go wild for Amanda? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, we'll throw a backwards
18:22
ball cap on and a black v see. No, you I get this.
18:26
My husband, especially when we're going out on a date. The outfit
18:30
he wore when we went on our first date. Oh really, he'll throw
18:33
on that. It's like a cream like shirt or whatever, like cream jacket
18:37
he wears all the time. Cream jacket. Your husband has a cream jacket,
18:41
does he not? No, you're getting him confused. Somebody else wore
18:45
a cream jacket off, and we used to laugh at because it was very
18:48
overeaxcized. That's right, you know, it's just in general rule of thumb
18:52
wear a big cream jacket or every once in a while if he's wearing salmon
18:57
like a coral color, always like, hey, mama, it does look
19:02
good with his eyes, doesn't it. Love It another way to trick a
19:04
woman into falling in love with you. Talk about special times you've spent together.
19:10
Oh, totally, remember those special moments you shared. We'll bring them
19:12
up, talk about him. That's always fun, right, were reminiscent just
19:15
to take you back? Yeah, we were. When we were traveling through
19:18
the holidays, it was like, gosh, remember our first Thanksgiving which was
19:22
only six years ago, and how different life is, but how fun it's
19:26
still. Oh yeah, it's just kind of cool to reminisce as you're going
19:30
through the holiday season. Holidays are great for reminiscy because we all have special
19:33
memories. We went up to Duluth, first time i'd been there, I
19:36
think literally since we got married there four years ago. Really, so yeah,
19:40
a lot of reminiscent there. A man. Another way to make a
19:41
woman fall in love with you, put your dirty laundry in the hamper.
19:45
Nothing a woman loves more than when a man is clean and neat. So
19:49
true. Yeah, it's funny though, because sometimes those socks they just can't
19:53
quite get in there. Everything goes like right by it, but you just
19:56
can't quite put it in that camp. It's bizarre to me that men just
20:02
and every time I mention it, it's like, I don't want to mess
20:04
up your system. Here we out of system, Okay, don't want to
20:07
mess up yours. Don't mind all my clean clothes sitting on top of the
20:11
dryer currently, because well, I gotta be honest, man, I don't
20:14
even have a hammer. Yeah those boys, I do have a sack.
20:18
You still have the old college set. Yeah, the old college sack.
20:22
It's still in the mix, okay, And so I just don't use it.
20:25
It's just such a hamper for the holidays. There you go. Put
20:27
the toilet seat down, another little trick that I've actually been embracing more years
20:32
into our marriage. I'm just now thinking, you know what, I can
20:36
just leave the seat down. And honestly, the older you get, the
20:38
more you appreciate a good sit down. Number one as a man. Yeah,
20:42
I mean it keeps everything cleaner. Te. I mean, it's much
20:45
more comfortable. I appreciate that. Yeah, I love my son who he's
20:51
just just barely tall enough for it. It's like sometimes, wait to go,
20:56
brigsy, boy, you did it eighty percent of the time. Come
21:00
on, buddy, you gotta get a little bit tuller. Or he'll just
21:03
jump on and ride it dirty. It's like great, now, no,
21:06
no, tell me more about riding it dirty. Where his face is towards
21:10
the back end of the toilet like a slater stuff. Thank you. He
21:14
just like jumps on. It's like, I mean, and honestly, why
21:17
wouldn't you. It seems like the right way. Occasionally you can kind of
21:21
lean on the toilet tank if you're really tired. Take a little nappy.
21:25
Absolutely, I took a bathroom napp yesterday. Another way to make a woman
21:27
fall in love with you put the top back on the toothpaste tube. And
21:33
that goes for ladies two k it does. I will admit, Nick cannot
21:37
stand my toothpaste skills because I push it in the wrong direction, like I
21:42
just grab it and push. He's there's no system. What are you talking
21:45
about? No, no, no, you have to push from the bottom,
21:48
roll it up when you get to the end. No, like,
21:52
in general, he does not like any of He has a weird we should
21:56
each have our own tube of toothpaste at this point in our marriage. I
22:00
mean, that's not a bad that's not a bad system either. But I
22:03
will say toothpaste it's sort of a great metaphor for life because you really just
22:07
take it for granted when it's full, you know, when it's easy.
22:11
You don't have to roll the bottom up or rub a deodoran stick against it
22:15
to try to push any little bit out of it. You really have to
22:18
appreciate life while your toothpaste tube is full. Take a second to think about
22:22
that. This is deep. Yeah, we got one with charcoal in it.
22:26
I don't know what that's. No, it's supposed to like really keep
22:29
your teeth white, man. Could they could? They could say just about
22:30
anything on that toothpaste package. I'd be like, oh, okay, wait
22:33
a minute. All you're getting all the terms out with this one. Charcoal
22:37
carbon dioxide. Sign me up. And also the final thing, a man,
22:41
if you want to make a woman love you wear well fitting clothes.
22:45
That's key for a man. Good thing my husband doesn't have that oversized cream
22:49
coat like it a minute in the morning. On tipping has gotten lit out
22:57
of control. That is the well known, especially at certain you know,
23:00
establishments that would generally be categorized as fast food. And this is why it's
23:06
an issue, because you got things happening like this where a woman in Atlanta
23:10
went to a subway get herself a little subsanduis. She wanted the Italian sub
23:14
Now, Amanda, you know, five dollars foot lungs are a thing of
23:18
the distant past. So she got herself a six inch for what she knew
23:22
was a total of seven fifty four. Now, this lady, because you
23:26
can just save your order. Now, I went into a subway recently.
23:29
I'm like, it's all on there and you can save it, log it.
23:32
It's crazy, Okay, chill. This isn't a subway commercial, no
23:34
I know, but I this was like new, how much are they paying
23:37
you? Na? So this lady vera anyway, she got her total,
23:41
and you know, if you've been to a subway recently, they're asking for
23:45
a tip, like a lot of people, and so she thought she had
23:48
left a small tip. But when she had noticed her credit card statement later
23:52
she had been charged not seven fifty four, but seven thousand, one hundred
23:56
and twelve dollars and ninety eight cents. Oh my gosh, how does something
24:02
like that happen? And who has a credit limit that you're like, you
24:04
didn't notice that? What imagine being able to use a credit card with a
24:11
charge like that and max her credit score must be just a gazillion? I
24:17
guess, well, but how do you get it back? I mean,
24:18
there's I have a lot of questions here. Amanda la Vera. She first,
24:22
of course, had the reaction needed. She said, oh my god,
24:25
how did this happen? And then she realized that the tip in the
24:27
tip line looks familiar. She had put her phone number, or at least
24:33
part of it, in the tip line, hence the seven thousand dollars tip.
24:37
Oh gosh, it doesn't know. Obviously, you're gonna get that money
24:41
back, but it's like, what if? That's my question. It's because
24:45
it was a tip, and if you're getting it on your credit card statement,
24:49
that could have been a month out right that money go. We're gonna
24:52
give it to you without taking it from the workers, because you know,
24:56
it's a season of give, and what person working in some way isn't gonna
25:03
go, uh ma'am what they might not have noticed, you know, because
25:07
you're gonna notice if you get an extra seven thousand dollars tip for the day.
25:11
I always wanted to do they see on the other side of the screen
25:14
how much you tipped, of course, because it's like the most awkward thing
25:17
in the world, you know, and I feel like it's they're watching you.
25:19
I was recently somewhere and let's say it was eighty dollars, and it
25:23
automatically popped up and there's no it was twenty twenty five or custom tips,
25:32
not even ten or fifteen percent anymore. People, it just goes right up
25:34
to it. And then I couldn't find the no thanks anywhere because it didn't
25:38
feel like this was a tipping situation. And when you looked at the custom
25:42
tip or the twenty or twenty five, it was like an extra twenty bucks
25:47
or something. I'm like, I know, I'm already spending this much money.
25:51
And my problem is when it's something that's already so overpriced, like if
25:53
you're at an event or a wedding or something and you're getting drinks and you're
25:56
let's say you're getting drinks for two and it's like twenty bucks or something,
26:00
and all you have the options for are twenty twenty five thirty percent. So
26:03
now you're talking five dollars tip for two drinks? Can we not? If
26:07
anything can be held? You know, Holy it should be that it's a
26:11
dollar per drink, regardless of how much the drink is, depending on the
26:15
situation. Well, this lady vera. She said that the Subway manager repeatedly
26:19
refused to discuss the issue with her. She received a denial letter when she
26:23
disputed the charge with a credit card company. I bet because she's sinking seven
26:27
grand. Think of all the presents her kids got. Well imagine now.
26:32
Bank of America, the issuer of her credit card, said they reached out
26:34
to Subway and its corporate offices waiting to hear back. Oh so this is
26:40
still a pend. This situation, this is a this is unresolved. You
26:44
might say, that's wed good luck lady like a man in the morning.
26:52
Come, I'll get up on dig. But it is that time, of
26:56
course, now that is post Thanksgiving. Can we all three, it's time
27:00
to get into the holiday spirit. But Amanda, the Santa Claus hotline is
27:04
open. Speak of the Devil. Yes, mister Claus has agreed. You
27:08
know, we have a deal with him. We pay him annually to be
27:11
able to have a direct line to the North Pole with our Santa hotline.
27:15
And if you tried to call over the weekend it was full. Don't worry,
27:18
we got it all opened up. So the number seven oh one four
27:21
nine nine six nine zero three, this is my favorite. We get to
27:25
play these back all the way up through Christmas and it just brings so much
27:29
joy to my face because people that have kids, it's just first of all,
27:33
you can barely understand sometimes what they're saying, and then to find out
27:36
like what the hot toys and stuff are. But you know who knows is
27:38
mister Santa Claus myself. So when you call that number, this is what
27:41
you'll hear. Christmas. This is Santa Claus and you have reached my personal
27:52
hotline. We have been very busy making all of those toys to deliver on
27:57
Christmas morning. Don't be good and don't hug it. To always listen to
28:03
your parents. Would you hear the tone? Please leave me your Christmas gift
28:07
wishes and holiday chair and remember kids, I know who's been naughty and nice
28:17
very Christmas, and I'll see you soon. Well you know why it's usually
28:22
sometimes full because parents like me call continuous, like did you hear what Santa
28:27
said? Oh, he has all sorts of good, real messages for the
28:30
kidd exactly. But that's him, that is the man, Santa Claus.
28:33
So then you gave your kid the phone, they leave the voicemail and I
28:36
want to play this one because it was just hilarious. This kid obviously had
28:38
called more than once and this is what he said. Hia, I told
28:44
yesterday, but I didn't forget to mention these two things. Oh it's the
28:51
games that I've been wishing for to be separate. And I did not mention
28:57
a picture Ripped ninety five with an Oculus question too no idea sounds like video
29:03
games, and yeah, I love that this could has just been like up
29:07
all night thinking, God, you know, I asked for two games,
29:10
but it needs to know that they could be separate if they need to be,
29:12
you know what I mean, Like you can't you can't both one will
29:15
do for sure? I mean that's not both or I don't know my address,
29:21
but I do know my apartment number. It's thirteen. Thank you,
29:26
Santa. So you know you got a little to work with Santa thirteen.
29:30
You'll find him. I'm sure you know. He knows where you're at.
29:33
He sees you when you're sleeping, and he'll figure. That's the best part
29:36
about Claus. And I've seen you deliver all too many kids and it might
29:45
even it might be harder this year. So I'm wishing you good luck bye.
29:49
I mean, listen, he was up all night just it's gonna be
29:52
tough. He already knew it snowed a little. He's like, ye could
29:56
be some does he know about some farmer's alman Act conditions we don't know about?
30:00
He must he's off all that, probably got a little phone Google and
30:03
how many kids are in the world, And he's thinking, my god,
30:06
how is Santa gonna find my apartment when he's got a billion kids? But
30:08
you don't thank you. He finds a way. So the Santa Claus hotline
30:11
is open if you want your kids to leave a message for the man himself,
30:15
and the number is seven oh one four nine nine six nine zero three.
30:19
Wipe and Amanda in the morning on Big seven trending. Now here's what
30:26
you need to know. Well, Pike, another reason I'm happy to be
30:29
a Galaxy girl. I don't have to worry about this iPhone issue that law
30:33
enforcement agency is. We're spreading come on all over the country. I saw
30:37
people sharing this over the weekend. This recent iOS seventeen update has a set
30:41
feature called the name Drugs Drop, so after you do the update, it
30:45
automatically goes to on after completing the update, and a lot of people do
30:49
want that off. They're saying for their privacy and other reasons. Now you
30:52
can talk and speak more to this because you have an iPhone. Basically,
30:56
to put in layman's terms, this was a feature designed by kidnappers for kidnappers,
31:03
and you need to immediately throw your phone in the garbage to light down
31:07
fire. Why would law enforcement agencies be so concerned? I was so I
31:11
was so annoyed over the way, like the panic. The panic people just
31:15
think like, oh, we got one, here we go, I get
31:19
it, downplay it. But you're downplaying it. You're basically saying that your
31:25
child could get kidnapped if you don't shut this off. Correct. Yeah,
31:27
Now, basically before if you want to like Let's say I meet a guy
31:30
named Jimbo at the bar and I want to exchange my information because I think
31:33
it's a cool guy, and I want to go, go, oh hey,
31:34
Pike, let's meet up on the course this summer. I can like
31:37
share my contact I get to have him just write my phone number down.
31:41
Now you can put your phone on top of each other like they were mating,
31:45
and an option will pop up on your phone to transfer the contact data
31:49
to your phone. The Galaxy. We've been able to do that for years,
31:52
see exactly. Yeah, how many children have gone missing in that show?
31:56
Yeah, I don't ever use ninety five percent of the features on my
32:00
phone, so I was unaware of that. I thought this was more of
32:01
like a location situation. So basically, you're gonna have to accept it,
32:06
right Like you're gonna have to be a willing participant. God, it's not
32:08
like if your kids walking through West Acres that people I was wondering their content.
32:13
Everybody's just suddenly gonna have everybody's contact information. It's not gonna be like
32:16
that. So let's, of course always be careful, especially when it comes
32:21
to kids and their technology. So please turn it off if it concerns you.
32:24
But I'm just saying it wasn't quite the You're making it sound like maybe
32:29
it was blown out of proportion a bit. Well, people just like to
32:31
get all worked up about stuff like this. That is a lot of people
32:36
blown up the internet over the weekend because in Forum they do their best of
32:39
the Red River Valley and they were released all of the winners through the weekend
32:43
and their special edition. And I had a good chuckle about it too when
32:46
people are like, oh my gosh, the best Italian restaurant in Fargo is
32:52
Olive Garden. Wow. But then I started thinking about it because Grazzi's isn't
32:55
here, Toscan is not here? What Johnny Karnos that for a long time,
33:00
that was my favorite. And I get like, yeah, geddy,
33:01
Western is new and I heard it's amazing. I have yet to go there,
33:07
But that wasn't even yet. I don't think a thing win this exactly.
33:09
I mean, you got al Tony's in Morehead or Tilworth or whatever,
33:13
en so, but that's not Fargoe, right. There's a couple of options,
33:16
but honestly, like, there wasn't a lot, you know, And
33:19
I am not too good for the oligard. And the quite frankly bottom line
33:22
is that when you're there, your family and so I get well deserved.
33:27
And you know, that's probably why we got nominated, because when you're here,
33:31
you're family and you're putting up with us. And we were nominated for
33:35
the best Local Radio I mean it's not just nominated victorious. We took on
33:38
best Local Radio show. So really the olive garden of the airwaves, that's
33:43
what that's what they're calling us. All you can't eat, sup and salad?
33:47
What here? We got a breadstick for you? Oh my gosh,
33:53
just tell me, you just say, when can you tell we've been on
33:59

34:30
