• 1:04
  Speaker 2: like the leaves have kind of gotten a little bit
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: dry and same thing. They're usually built up on the
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: side of the street or the side of the curb
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: and you just walk right on top of them.
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: I love you have not lived until you have crunched
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: the dry leaves in fall. That was one thing when
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: I was living in Washington. It was only so doing
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: rainy that the leaves were never dry. It was misery.

  Speaker 3: Kids, I also needed to win that day.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: And you know what, we have to give a big
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: shout out to Alison this morning, or Ali, she said,
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: I normally wake up at about five thirty and I
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: doom scroll on my phone for an hour. But today
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: I got up, got out of bed by five forty five.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: I have Big ninety eight point seven on, and I'm
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: cleaning up all of the ish as how I'll say
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: it in the kitchen. So congratulations to Ali.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: Hey, there you go.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: Sometimes just getting up out of bed ten fifteen to
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: twenty minutes earlier can really make a massive impact on
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: your day. It gives you an extra couple of minutes
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: to get something done that you don't have to get
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: done later. Yeah, So way to go, Alli, h Angie.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: Do you have a little victory for me today?
• 4:45
  Speaker 5: Oh?
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: My gosh, I do it's two little home projects that
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: are completed. So the first is a dresser. We ordered
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: a dresser. Only half of it came in on Friday,
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: and then the rest of it arrived a couple days ago.
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: So after no help for me, obviously, I didn't put
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: this thing together. But Mikey, my dear sweet boyfriend, man friend.
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: I think it's weird that we're so old and he's boyfriend. Anyway,
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: I digress. He put together the dresser. It's fully assembled,
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: and now all I have to do is put all
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: of my clothes in it.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: So that's great.
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: And the other one was a two tier fruit bowl.
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: We've been buying a lot of fruit and it just
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: kind of rolls around all over the counter. And I
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: realized I don't have a fruit bowl because I'm not
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: a real adult. So ordered a two tiered one so
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: that it could be apples on the bottom, the little
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: hanging thing for the bananas, and then other fruits at
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: the top. And Aiden, my fifteen year old, he's the
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: one who put that one together because I, again, I
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: don't build things. That's just not my forte. And so
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: now those things are finished, I can enjoy fruit properly
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: stored and clothing properly stored.
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: Why are you laughing at me, Gabe. That's not building things,
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: not my fourth thing.
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: No, no, you don't want to see me with a
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: pile of legos. It's depressing.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: The next time I come over, I'm gonna bring a hammer,
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: a drill and we're gonna build some even if it's
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: just out of two by four.
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: Okay, Bob the builder, I don't mean that.
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: What is your little victory.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: My little victory is it's hard to explain, but all
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: of the preemptive stuff for Babyg's room is done except
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: putting together the cribs. So we've got we had to
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: rearrange some beds. I had to take a couch to
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: the Fargo landfill. Yeh, there's been a lot that's gone
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: on to this. We had to move a bed to
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: a different room, so dresser for baby ready to go.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: The whole room basically empty, cleaned up, and so all
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: of the preemptive work before the real work is done.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: We're gonna put together the crib and then ever slowly
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: but surely, just keep throwing junk in there.
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: Be ready to go.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: But it's it's nice to know that it's all cleaned up,
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: and we can sort of, I don't know, not start
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: from scratch because there's already so little in that other room.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: But we can really just start from a clean slate.
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: If you need any help putting the crib together, don't
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: call me.
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: Don't throw a texture. I remember that one.
• 7:20
  Speaker 6: You know, the thing that you're thinking about, but you're
• 7:23
  Speaker 6: too polite to say we got you?
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: Are you calling a Cody queen.
• 7:30
  Speaker 6: Dying on the hill of controversial opinion? So you don't
• 7:33
  Speaker 6: have toy? This is sorry, not sorry. On Big ninety
• 7:40
  Speaker 6: eight point seven.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: It is story time for you this morning here on
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: Big ninety eight point seven. And I will say this
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: is one of the most annoyed I've ever been. You
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: have heard me talk before about Hey, if you go
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: into the gas station and you get some scratch offs
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: and you peek over your little shoulder and there's someone
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: behind you in line, move okay, yes, move four feet,
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: get your little quarter out, and scratch away till your
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: heart's desire. I couldn't care less, but I had ran
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: into a situation like this, uh the other day, and
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: what this part is kind of sad.
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: I was going to get our cat's ashes, our.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: Cat that recently died, right, they were the ashes were
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: ready and what have you. So I take my little
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: booty to the vet. I walk in and there's a
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: man standing in there talking to you know, someone behind
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: the counter, right, yeah, and I'm standing there, you know. Yeah,
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: I'll wait my turn, obviously, I'll wait my turn in whatever.
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: Whatever.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: This man, I kid you, I am not kidding, you
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: goes on an eight minute story about whatever. Now, maybe
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: he's going through something too and just needed a friend
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: that in that moment. Okay, can you take that eight
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: minutes and cut it down to five? All right, just
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: shorten this a tiny bit, and to make this even better.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: As I'm sitting there trying to be polite and wait
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: my turn and what have you, this man in the
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: middle of his story I am not kidding, looks over
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: his shoulder, looks at me, acknowledges that I'm standing there,
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: and continues to go back to telling this story. I mean,
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: this dude is reading the Iliad to this lady behind
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: the counter.
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: Okay, not the eye contact, yeah right.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: And then he finishes this story and I stand there
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: another three minutes after he knows I'm behind and I
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: feel terrible for the girl behind the counter, because I
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: think she's kind of she's trying to wrap it up
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: in the stands that I'm there or whatever. She doesn't
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: know what I'm there for, so me being the petty
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: little monster that I am.
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: Right, this guy finally.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: Finishes up reading the dictionary to this woman, and I
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: walk up and very loudly because he's still kind of
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: lingering around, yeah, And I very loudly say, hey, yeah,
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: I'm just here to pick up my dead cat's ashes.
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: And this guy looked at me again.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: And then you know, me being up there four seconds
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: like everything was paid for. They literally handed me the thing,
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: handed me the instructions, and then we just glared at
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: each other as I walked out of this vet, And
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: I am sorry that dead cat ashes Trump's whatever story
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: you were telling, But bro, I am not sorry.
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: Move.
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: I hope he felt so much.
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: Shame, one hundred percent, heal the bell shame.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: And if, yeah, if he would have wanted to tell
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: a story and just like get out of the way,
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: because while the entire eight minutes that I was standing there,
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: he didn't get anything paid for anything.
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: This dude was just chit chatting.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, brother, can I please just get these
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: ashes and get out of here. So I am not
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: sorry that I said that very loudly at the vet
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: the other day.
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: This is am I the problem? It's me, Hi the problem.
• 10:55
  Speaker 6: It's me.
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: We'll hear one side of the story and with your help.
• 11:00
  Speaker 6: You decide if it's right or if maybe you're the problem.
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: That's right, I am the problem.
• 11:06
  Speaker 6: On Big ninety eight point seven.
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: LEXI wrote into us. Hi gave an angie. I don't
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: know if this is exactly an am I the problem?
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: But I do want your take on this.
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: My girlfriend's pointed out to me that I only date
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: guys with obvious scars, and I guess they're right if
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: I look at all my ex'es lol.
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: But is that weird?
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: They keep giving me ish about it and saying I
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: should set my Tinder radius.
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: To include hospital.
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: I like this, But scars are hot, right, that's it.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: That's okay, No, you're not the problem. Here's what I
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: do think is this is dating a dude with a scar.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: And you know I've never dated a dude with a scar,
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: so I might need help here. Okay, is dating a
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: dude with a scar? Is that like a safe way
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: to maybe like test out the bad boy waters. Okay, yeah,
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: are you trying to maybe just dip your little pinky
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: toe into the bad boy creek?
• 12:05
  Speaker 5: What do you think?
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: Seven on one two, eight on one nine eight seven.
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: Our Scar's hot. Here's the thing. When I was a child,
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: I watched a movie called The Lion King, and in
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: it there was Mufasa, who was the upstanding king of
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: the Pridelands, and then his brother was evil named Scar
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: literally because he had also rooted to name your kid's
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: scar just because.
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: They have a scar.
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: But fine, and he had that scar above his eye.
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: And I don't know if it's because Jeremy Irons voiced him.
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: I don't know, but Scar the hotter lion, which I asked.
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: The more I talk, the more ridiculous this sounds. But
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: for me, that's.
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: Where my obsession with scars began. And I think that
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: a guy with a scar is hot. I think it's hot.
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: I think it means.
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: You've gone through some stuff. Yeah, you gone through some
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: trials and tribulations.
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah, in the words of Gabe, you face some adversity.
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you gotta face some adversity. Yeah, and you got
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: through it.
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: And there's a scar to show it and so I'm
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: with you, Lexi. I think scars are hot, so there's
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: nothing wrong if you're into them.
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: Does it depend how you you get the scar?
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: Okay?
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: I broke my wrists once, so I have a scar
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: on my left wrist from that right and the scar.
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: I don't know if it's cool. It's just like a
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: surgery scar.
• 13:25
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: I also have a scar, like a pretty good one
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: on my right hand, okay, and I got it from
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: my cat that scratched me. I don't know if that's
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: like screaming sex sapple. No, I think that's where you
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: lie about how you got seven one two eight zero
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: one eight seven?
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: Are you into dudes with scars?
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: Lexi wanted to know because her friends have been trolling her.
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: Is she a weird enough for being so attracted to
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: dudes with scars? I think guys of scars tend to
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: be hotter than guys with no scars.
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm I'm on the edge of I think she's
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: just trying to tip her dip her little toe into
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: the bad boy waters and not fully commit to a
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: bad boy. And we asked, and a lot of people responded.
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: Here we have Samantha who said not weird at all.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: Scars mean they've lived a life. That's character. Baby, Yeah, yeah,
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: I like I love that ingrid, she said, green flag.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: If he's got a scar, he's got a story. I'm listening.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: Very good point. Hey, how'd you get that scar?
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: Now?
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: What a conversation started?
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: Unless he sounds like the Joker in a dark Night rises,
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: you're probably gonna be okay. Now, there are some people
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: who there it's not like, oh, this is a red flag,
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: I'll do it.
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: But there are some people who do.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: Add a little to this that I kind of love here,
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: Samantha said, Or sorry, no, I already said, Samantha, this
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: is Angela.
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: She said.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: It's not weird unless you're subconsciously trying to fix broken men.
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: And there's like there's a little snap right there, Like okay,
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: that is something to think about.
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: Okay, I like that.
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: You know what. Julia hit us up on the Facebook
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: page because we have this up, and she said, everyone
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: has preferences and things they find attractive. Don't see a
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: problem with this. But your friends are also hilarious. They
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: told her to set her tender radius to include hospital.
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: Right, you know what's funny? Julia said that right, yeah,
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: all right. Well Chelsea added something about this as well.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: She said, set your tender radius to the er is wild.
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: Your friends are hilarious and they might be slightly correct.
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: I want to give a big shout out to the
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: team of teachers and specialists and staff at my son
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: Liam's elementary school for just being such a big support
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: to my little guy as we work through some of
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: his delays regarding math.
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: So my worst subject. Okay, so by a mile.
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: Liam is a really bright kid, excellent reader, great comprehension,
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: a fascinating little writer. But he struggles in the area
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: of math.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: And so if you don't know who Liam is, that's
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: Angie's eight year old. Yes, about to be nine.
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: He's gonna be nine. Oh my gosh, where's the time go?
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: But I literally had a meeting yesterday. Mikey and I
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: went to have this meeting so we could discuss, like,
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: what are the options, what are we going to do
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: to try to make it so Liam can progress on
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: this math journey because we don't want to fall behind. Yeah,
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: and one thing that we noticed, and so I wanted
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: to ask, has anybody experienced this with their child? What
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: route did you take? Are you a tea yourself and
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: maybe you have some insight. This interesting thing with Liam
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: is that for him when it comes to math still,
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: he's always reversing the numbers the way he writes them,
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: the way he reads numbers, they're they're always backwards always.
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: But this doesn't happen with like language because we have yeah,
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: with reading, because we were initially concerned, like is there
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: a dyslexia situation going on? But this doesn't happen to
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: him with like written words. It's specific to math. And
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: so even you know, the teachers and the specialists were like,
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: it's so interesting because we don't ever see this with
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: just math. So I did some googling, which isn't always
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: you know, the most helpful because who knows what's what?
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: And that's why, you know, maybe someone in the fm
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: ARIA knows this, but there's something that is considered maybe
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: like a math dyslexia with reversing the numbers and sequences
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: and stuff, and how he can process that in his brain.
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: And I'm just so fascinated by this because I have
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: no idea. I have no idea how to help Lee.
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: I'm thankfully the team is on it. They're going to
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: start going through assessments and you know, pulling him out
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: of class in spirts to see what they can do.
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: But like I just I want to be able to
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: help him at home too, and I just have no
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: idea what I'm doing. So if there's anybody out there
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: who has, you know, experience with this or maybe their
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: kid went through a similar thing, because I don't know
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: any other kids who only switch around numbers. And this
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: has been like since he started school because he's in
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: third grade now. It's never been an issue with reading
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: or writing. It's just numbers, just the numbers.
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, well, yeah, if you have gone through something
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: like this, maybe with your child or your kiddo, and
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: there was something you tried or found or r resources.
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: That you can think of, please let me know. I
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: just am so interested in this, And obviously we want
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: Liam to grow up and not fall behind. And you know,
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: master math, but I mean, Gabe, you are not a
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: math genius and you're doing well.
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: I've done all right, I've made it this far in life. Yeah,
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: all right, good, Liam and I could take that times
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: test at the same time and we'd probably finish it
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: at the same time. And I'm thirty five years old,
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: all right, seven oh one two eight zero one nine
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: eight seven. If this is something you've ever gone through
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: with your kid, yeah, maybe you have just an idea,
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: a suggestion or whatever to help out Angie, who then,
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: of course would obviously help out Liam. She would love
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: to hear it this morning here on the Big ninety
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: eight point seven morning show.
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: Morning. Who's this? This is heighty?
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: How old is Liam?
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: Liam is eight? About to be nine in April.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: Okay, So my kids are in kindergarten when this happened,
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: and it was one of them, and their numbers were
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: turned around. Their letters were fine, maybe the D and B,
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: but that's like almost every kid knows that. But anyways,
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: it's cool. The kindergarten teacher worried about it, where like
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: they're always.
• 20:01
  Speaker 6: Getting their four wrong.
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: They're always getting this wrong. It's always backwards. And the
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: kindergarten teacher took one of the little chairs and turned
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: it on its side, turned it upside down and.
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: Said, first she said, what is this object?
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: And we were like a chair and she turned it
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: upside down, put it on the floor. What is this object?
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: It's a chair? So exactly the number four is the
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: number four to your kids. The kid gets the number four,
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: gets the shape of the number four. It's just turned
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: on its side. The chairs turned on its side, it's
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: still a chair, and the number four is still a
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: four even though it's turned on its side.
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: That's such an interesting way to think about it.
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: If we see a four, are it doesn't matter how
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: you see it or which direction.
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: That's actually super interesting.
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: I thought it was awesome.
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: I've never heard that from any other teacher, and I've
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: never heard that from anybody else. But it was just
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: like a little nice revelation and just to say, your
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: kid's okay. The chairs a chair, the four is a four.
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: Thank you, nighty you guys have an awesome day.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: Good luckilyam You'll do awesome.
• 20:53
  Speaker 6: Good mom starting off the day with something good. This
• 21:02
  Speaker 6: is Gabe's good news on Big ninety eight point seven.
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: A twenty eight year old father of three from rural
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: war in Minnesota is back on his feet after a
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: debilitating disc related back painish incident left him walking with
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: a cane and sadly unable to play with his kids.
• 21:23
  Speaker 5: Three boys at home. And you know, a lot of
• 21:25
  Speaker 5: the time it was tough for me to play board
• 21:27
  Speaker 5: games with them or throw the football, play basketball at
• 21:30
  Speaker 5: things of that nature. So we really wanted something that
• 21:33
  Speaker 5: would let me keep my mobility and eliminate the pain
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: the best that we could.
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: Now, after a couple of these failed injections, Sanford Health
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: neurosurgeon doctor Alexander Drofa he performed a lumbar arthrow plasty,
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: which is a procedure that replaces a damaged disc with
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: a titanium implant instead of fusing the spine, and the
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: implant preserves motion and funk. Oh wow, Well, little do
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: we know that this man was the first patient to
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: undergo this procedure at Sanford, and now he is pain
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: free and walking normally, and he has really been excited
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: to return to work and enjoying life with his family again.
• 22:17
  Speaker 5: Like a million bucks worth every enter of the smile
• 22:20
  Speaker 5: on my boy's face.
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: So how awesome is that? I tell you what?
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: Doctors there, it just a they're just geniuses. Yeah, they're
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: just so smart. But the things they can do to
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: give people little things back. You know, we do little
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: victories here every day on Big ninety eight point seven
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: to start the show. It's amazing that there are people
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: walking amongst us who just give these things back to
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: people on a regular basis. And it's just so cool
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: to me that someone out there could do this for
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: this guy.
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: I mean, I can't.
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you love to see it because Gabe and I
• 22:49
  Speaker 4: aren't fixing anybody's spine ever.
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: We're probably the hope is maybe we caused some damage
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: because we made you laugh so hard, but that's about
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: all we're giving you.
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: So this is incredible for this father and also great
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: job doctor.
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: It brings me so much joy to know that there
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: are people out there who can do this and are
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: smart enough, bright enough, creative enough to be able to
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: give people a lot of things back. It's just wonderful
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: to see the world is full of nice people. If
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: you can't find one, you gotta be one.
