it kind of stays steady. Today's Grand Fork says I

above a blustering north winds gusting two thirty miles an hour.
One to three inches of snow possible. Dare I say probable.

Good day for a candy cane stick that in your coffee.

(02:27):
have gift cards to supplymestatic professionals and shields going out.
It's also Northern Air Action Park Chance to win coming
up shortly. But first things first, let's catch you up.
I think we can all use a little good news today.
And here's what you missed.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
TV, the entertainment world and whatever. Here's what you missed
on Excel ninety three.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
I need some good news, some good news. Your goldfishing
sounds this good news. A difference between good and great.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Okay, good news, that's good news.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
This is good news. Good let's hear good news. Trifect.
A woman in Ohio loves Fireball Whiskey just turned one
hundred and six years old. Her name is Florence Hackman,
but people are calling her Fireball Flow.
Speaker 5 (03:16):
I'm so happy to stall lay here and see all
you wonderful people.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
And that's a good.
Speaker 5 (03:25):
Time well out there, say, my family always had a
lot of fun. We always we always had a lot
of fun. And I never got over.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
That fire Ball Flow. She was also in the news
last year when Fireball sent her a bunch of swag
for a one hundred fifth birthday. That was her birthday speech.
She should meet up with a one hundred and ten
year old lady in Pennsylvania loves you in length. I
bought her the other day. Maybe they can have some
boilermakers together. Bury the hatchet dogs are smart, but not
(04:07):
that's smart, and other good news. Firefighters in Connecticut saved
a dog on Tuesday after he had gone away from
its owners. Jumped in the ocean and started swimming out
to sea. Thankfully, they got to the pup up pretty quickly.
And have you've seen the video of United Airlines pilot
hugging one of his passengers. It happened on a flight
from Houston to Newark, and he explained why to the
(04:30):
other passengers. The woman saved his life eight years ago
by donating her bone marrow, fireball shots, What dogs and
grateful pilots are good news? Try effecta on this snowy
later on today becoming a blowy morning question of the
day Today, Holiday movies. What Christmas movie have you seen
(04:53):
the most? And what Christmas movie do you declare is
completely overrated? Maybe we'll start with some twelve days of
groceries winning coming right up. But I found this interesting
article from the New York Post. Yes, That's what I do.
I go into my library, pull out my pipe that
shoots out bubbles, and I read the New York Post
in the afternoons when I get home. Which movie should
(05:15):
you watch? Based on your sign and a short explanation.
If you're Arees, they say a Christmas story. It checks
the boxes for ares with a storyline that leverages triple
dog dares, obsession, poor impulse control, and tacky lamps. If
you're a Taurus, the classic nineteen forty seven version of
Miracle on thirty Fourth Street. Taurus folks make for natural skeptics.
(05:39):
Bulls will approve of this movie. Mediation on capitalism, the
burden of proof, and the beauty of believing. Gemini is
your movie is the Santa Clauses. The premise is one
close to the extremely indecisive heart of every Gemini. As
a retirement age Santamus grapple with life balance and the
(06:01):
consequence of his bad choices, especially a TV series in
Disney Plus. But it's a continuation of Big to Malan
Santa Claus movie series, all Right Cancers the Lindsay Lowan
Netflix movie Falling for Christmas. The trailer reminds us sometimes
forgetting who you are means discovering who you are, which
(06:22):
sounds like a waters sign justifying their alcohol blackout or
poor choice and romantic partners. Leo. These are the Christmas
movies you should watch based on your zodiac sign, Leo,
Freddi Prince Junior, Netflix movie Christmas with You, dance routines, dilfs,
grand gestures, all catnip to Leo, I'll do one more
(06:43):
for now, Virgo. Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. Virgo thrives
him being underestimated and a no story encapsulates the spirit
of the underdog or under deer like Rudolph. Christmas movies
you should watch based on your zodiac sign. But my
end of the day, what Christmas movie have you seen
the most? And what do you declare is overrated? Let's
(07:04):
look at the Excelmty three facebook page here, uh Toijo
going with seeing the Most, how the Grinch Stole Christmas
and overrated It is a Christmas story all subjective answers
of course, Twila seeing the most Christmas with the Cranks
and most overrated another vote for Christmas story. Although Brandy
going with the Christmas story that's the one she's seen
(07:25):
the most. Was a t T or TBS that used
to do the twenty four hour marathon. I don't know
if they still do that. I think there was a
Black Friday thing Christmas story. However, I do use the
line you'll shoot your eye own kid, whatever the opportunity arises.
I'm guessing she's answering the overrated question there and Cassie
going the most watch would be any of the Santa Clauses.
Grew up on those and now my daughter loves them too.
(07:48):
Overrated Christmas with the Cranks? Good morning?
Speaker 6 (07:52):
Hey, Hey, how's it going?
Speaker 1 (07:54):
I am good yourself?
Speaker 6 (07:56):
Why not too?
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Dad? Who am I visiting with? Josh? Josh? What Christmas
movie have you seen the most? And what Christmas movie
do you Declaire's completely overrated? I've probably seen the most bad. Interesting,
no one said that yet. I don't think I've seen
that from start to finish? How bad is he? He's
(08:21):
he's pretty funny, pretty good? How about overrated? Overrated? Don't
get a Christmas story? That's but the number one answer today. Interesting,
I didn't realize so many people were tired of it,
but you didn't get tired of those ones who love
it the most. You've got to watch and that goes
(08:43):
for anyway. Josh, what are we doing here? Trevor's favorite things?
You want a gift card to Northern Air Action Park
or Sublime Aesthetic Professionals. Let's Sublime. That make a good
red gift. You'll pretend you're thoughtful and didn't win it
on the radio. Right, fifty bucks to Sublime Aesthetic Professionals. Buddy,
(09:08):
we're going ninety three minutes commercial free. How about I
just ask you what station provides you with the most
Christmas gifts guaranteed? Excel ninety three the folks at music
station Christmas movies based on your zodiac sign. That's what
we're talking about today. What is the best suit for you?
(09:29):
We'll get into the question of the day. We'll do
some winning here coming up in just a couple of minutes.
I've declared it a bonus day of the Hugos twelve
days of groceries. New York Post articles spitting these out
These aren't according to Trevor. Are you a Libra like me?
They say? The answer for us is elf. We are
inclined to have a difficult relationships with the fathers. Never
(09:51):
has that dramatic dynamic been more delightfully dramatized than in
the ballot of Buddy the Alf and his Dan. I
like El, I don't really think I've had a difficult
relationship with my father. Scorpio going with spirited the Christmas
Carol adaptations during Ryan Reynolds and Will Ferrell. No one
(10:12):
loves a bad guy goes good story arc more than
a Scorpio. If you're Sagittarius, the Netflix movie A Boy
Called Christmas It is pure cinematic bait for the average
Sagittarius who loves nothing more than an unexpected journey and
optimis aeron Capricorn, the classic national influence Christmas Vacation. Capricorn
(10:36):
represents the archetype of the father, and there has never
been a better unhinged holiday Daddy than Chevy Chase's Clark Chriswold.
I wonder if Capricorn's have the best holiday light displays
then too. If you're Aquarius, your movie is Home Alone.
Most lone wolf water bearers would welcome the chance to
spend the holidays alone in a fancy house, eating ice
(10:56):
cream and out starting bad guys. And finally, I sees
is there more of a classic than it's a wonderful
life ruled by dream a planet Neptune. Pisces is associated
with film fantasy and barklong romance, so just suit you, guys.
Of course, everybody all twelve agree. The New York Post
said die Hard is perfect for all of us. So
(11:18):
if they just didn't include that on their list of
the twelve they gave out, but it's interesting some new
and old Christmas classics. My question of the day today,
I'm looking for those holiday movies, the one you've seen
the most, and then one you just declarre is overrated.
Just look at a charity page here for a moment
Bill going with the most die Hard and die Hard
(11:40):
too Christmas classics for sure. Can't argue that. I think
I might be in your same boat, Buddy and overrated
Alpha Home Alone, Shannon's saying most Christmas vacation or home
alone and overrated. Probably a Christmas story that seems to
be getting the most fotes for overrated, Stephanie, Most Christmas
Vacation overrated as story, but love actually for operrated. Maybe
(12:04):
if you're a dude, it's just overrated. I don't think
i'd seen it in its entirety until last year, and
just thought I guess I really didn't miss out. I don't.
We'll throwing daggers around today, but keep in mind all
subjective excel Nutty three on the way, how much time
(12:25):
do we waste? How much have you wasted this year
searching for something to watch? Perhaps it's mind blowing because
it's trending. It's next excel Nutty three. Hello, Well, hey,
who how are you? Who am I visiting with? And
two folded Christmas question movie question today? The holiday movie
(12:49):
you think you've seen the most, and the one the
one you declare is overrated? I send I hide the
most good for you and Christmas story that seems to
be getting the most votes for overrated today.
Speaker 7 (13:05):
All right, I don't know, but works three.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
I don't know why either. No one has picked my
popular Love Actually movie for the overrated Yes, but maybe
that's just because I'm a dude and all I only
do is manpoint related stuff. That's why I wholeheartedly agree
with your diehard you will be right on Love Actually.
(13:31):
I've only seen it once and let's just some twelve
days of groceries winning three stockings. You know the drow
select stocking one two or three will dump rout we'll
see what's inside. Let's teop one. All right, let's grab
it off the wall.
Speaker 5 (13:48):
Congratulations you on twenty dollars and groceries from Hugoes Larry Christmas.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Now I've got twenty bucks to Hugos for you. Am well,
thank you, Bonus. Hey, we're just getting rolling here. Here
goes twelve days of groceries. Keep them for yourselves, Maybe
slip it in someone's stocking. You can really use it.
What station is the most groceries to give away this
time of year? Guaranteed?
Speaker 4 (14:11):
Three am much trending teshtag trending on Excel nighty three.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Below average and happy about it. That's why I only
watch reruns of the Office, A much more efficient. No
need to waste time choosing what I'm going to watch. Actually,
we're watching How I Met Your Mother. That's on Netflix
right now. You know stuff everyone else watched fifteen years ago.
(14:41):
Both found the average American, though, wasted one hundred and
ten hours this year just searching for stuff to watch.
I would guess maybe an hour a month. In reality,
you most likely double that because all those previews pop pump.
But here's the deal for rank. If I will it
just seems it's be spending a lot less time choosing
(15:03):
what to watch right now than even a few three, four,
five years ago, because Netflix and all the other services
have here's the top ten movies, here's the top ten
TV shows. This is what you should watch based on
what else you've watched, So they really kind of narrow
it down, but it works out here. One hundred and
ten hours searching for stuff to watch four and a
half hours a day worth of time, or roughly one
(15:25):
percent of your year. Four and a half days worth
of time, not every single day, four and a half hour,
four and a half hour days worth of time, roughly
one percent of your year you'll never get back. One
of five people think it's harder to find something to
watch today than it was ten years ago, even though
there's way more content. Most common complaints streaming services loaded
with too much old stuff they have to sift through.
(15:46):
One and four. I also think there's too much original
content being produced, but it saves the money to make
the original content. They don't have to pay the outrageous
show fees to get the classic shows that we love
and know and want to watch again. That's why they
do that. I used to be hard against the original content.
I'm a little softer on it now. But the average
(16:06):
American one hundred and ten hours just searching for stuff
to watch in twenty twenty four. So hallelujah, I'm below
average again. That's trending everything I shared with you, excelnety
three dot com, the charity page. Bet you didn't know.
Random facts coming at you now, that's excel nutty three.
(16:26):
Time for some randomness today. Bench didn't know. So there's
a tale that a runner from Oregon named for Smithson
won the one hundred ten meter hurdles at the nineteen
oh eight Olympics, well, carrying a Bible in his hand.
Have you heard that from your pastor while Sunday service? Well,
there aren't any official reports they confirm it, and he
(16:48):
may have just posed for the Bible in his hand
after the race. You think someone would have posted on
TikTok or something match did know. Every British king or
queen is a second birthday assigned to them. The real
birthday isn't in the summer. That's nice, that's pleasant, so
there's good weather for the birthday parade. For example, Queen
Lizzie Deuce, Queen Elizabeth the Second's actual birthday was April
(17:09):
twenty first, but her official birthday was held on a
Saturday in June. Saying with King Chuck. King Charles his
real birthdays November fourteenth, but his official one was held
June fifteenth. One of grand folks, Mayor Brandon mcchenski, is
big enough deal. We get a second birthday and it
was real birthdays in April. Well off ass next time around.
(17:30):
Betch did know pez candies got their name from the
German word beeffermins p f e f f e r
m I n z. We'll pronounce the peppermint's. It's there
for a reason. It means peppermint, since that was the
original flavor. Is fun with words? How about oxy moron?
(17:51):
Betch didn't know the word oxy Moron's actually an oxymoron.
It's the combination of two Greek words oxy meaning sharpened
keen and moron meaning nolan stupid. I don't blown minds today.
Some schools off canceled delay today, and we're just learning
like nobody's business around these parts, like you learn when
(18:14):
you're watching Sesame Street. Betch didn't know Mississippi Bend Sesame
Street in nineteen seventy for having a racially integrated cast.
Mississippi Public Television thought the portrayal of multi racial harmony
on city streets in a kid's show is unacceptable. Parents
successfully petitioned to state to bring the state to bring
it back and get this. Jim Henson was born in Mississippi. Ouch.
(18:37):
Now you know, well our snowy, winter, stormy day is
not going to stop us visiting with one of my
favorite people of the amazing Heather Novak, executive director of
the United Way of Grand Fork, saying East Grand Borgs,
Good morning, Heather, Good morning, how you I'm happy to
(18:58):
be at work yourself.
Speaker 6 (19:01):
I'm looking out the window seeing all the snow.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
We have out here.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
See, I thought you decided you were going to California
and you were just going to hang out there till
the winter was over, which would have been a logical decision.
I quit of respected that too.
Speaker 6 (19:16):
You know, I'm not going to lie. When I got
off the airplane in Ground Fork, I kind of was
second guessing why I was back.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
And now it looks like we're going to have a
white Christmas after all. How lucky are we? I know
it is beautiful.
Speaker 6 (19:30):
I'm not going to lie. I'm out. I live out
in Larmer area, and it's we've got quite a bit
of snow already out here.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
What was nice when I was shoveling snow at three
twenty seven this morning, and I'm not exaggerating, was the
snow for once was easy to move. It's going to
be an issue on the winds pick up later today.
But it was light, fluffy stuff, I think the first
time all year. No I entered to it.
Speaker 6 (19:54):
No, no, it looks it looks pretty light out there. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
Well, there's your forecast, there's your latest one, your storm update.
Let's talk to you. Not a way update. I know
everyone's easing into the holidays, but it's business as usual,
full throttle down view, not in way. We need some help.
The community going to come through again.
Speaker 6 (20:14):
Right, absolutely, So. This whole week we have been working
on our winter wish list. We have had multiple families
come into the Ground Forks office and be able to
pick out their own gifts for their families. We have
also delivered out in the Laromoer area to families out
(20:38):
there for gifts also, and then we are also doing
those holiday food baskets and so the larymoer ones.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
Most of them were delivered.
Speaker 6 (20:49):
Yesterday and the Groundworks ones are going out to be
delivered yesterday and then possibly some tomorrow for whatever didn't
get done yesterday, and so we're really excited to get
the families set up. I appreciate everybody who has helped
out in the community because seriously, we have done lots
(21:09):
of call to actions lately for different things for our shelter,
for Winter wish lists, and it has been absolutely amazing.
We had a shout out for Christmas trees for our
shelter families and we were able to get enough donations
of Christmas tree so all of our families have moved
(21:30):
into our new family shelter in Grounds Works and they
were all able to get Christmas trees gifts through our
Winter wish Lists's gifts. And that's all because of the community.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
So we weren't an that point when we visited last week,
weren't we No.
Speaker 6 (21:45):
We weren't. We weren't. Nope, we finally got everybody moved in,
you know, that was truly a goal of ours. We
have five homeless families right now that we're working with
and they were in the hotel and we wanted to
make sure that they were able to spend their Christmas
in the shelter in those apartments that we purchase.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
It's not even a doulf clap. I'm going to do
a loud clap for you guys in the United Way
and the great community in North Dakota, Minnesota. Nice helping
out again, but we can still help right absolutely.
Speaker 6 (22:21):
You know these everything is done year round. You know,
we have different different events throughout the year, whether like
I said, Winter wish list or different projects, whether it's
the kids closet and our quanfit those type of things.
There's always something going on and so especially with year
(22:42):
end coming, Christmas coming, any monetary donations are so appreciated.
If you want to donate any in kind items. We
are still looking for items for our families first shelter,
so microwaves and vacuums, cleaning supplies. It took us a
(23:03):
lot of time to sit down and figure out what
are all of those items that need to come into
this apartment because when we walk into those apartments, there's
absolutely nothing in there, and we need to make sure
that they're fully ready for our homeless families that are
coming in.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
Give GFGF dot org slash give the way to help
out here GFEGF dot org slash give help support families
in our community have their no back from the United Way.
I really do appreciate what you guys do for the
community all year long and especially this time of year,
and I'm really proud of everybody for helping accomplish some goals.
Speaker 6 (23:39):
We have an amazing community, not only Ground Forks, but
all the surrounding communities to get where. People really care
so much, and you know, they want to be a
part of these things and they want to help their
local neighbor. And for me, it's even better because I
get to see it every day. I absolutely truly love
(23:59):
my job and I love what we do, and I
wouldn't We wouldn't be able to do those things without
the community. So we do appreciate everybody else there.
Speaker 7 (24:06):
Well.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
I wish you the merriest of Christmas is happiest of
the merriest of New Year's too, And I want to
get you in my question on the day before we
part ways. All right, Heather, think about this. What Christmas
movie have you seen the most? And then what Christmas
movie would you declare as completely overrated.
Speaker 6 (24:24):
I have seen else the most respectable.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
You now know where the world's best cup of coffee is?
Speaker 6 (24:36):
Yes, and overrated?
Speaker 1 (24:41):
Hmm, you know, I don't know if I have one,
And that's okay, that's okay. You're just that good of
a person where you're not even going to declare it's overrated.
Speaker 6 (24:55):
Well. The nice thing is, you know, when it comes
to Christmas movies, you really only watch them once a year,
can you do? So?
Speaker 1 (25:03):
I have two boxes at dvs at home. They get
pulled out when the tree comes out and they get
put away. If I had my way, would be like February.
But my wife would say January second and midnight.
Speaker 6 (25:15):
Right. Yes, So nope, I don't have one that is overrated.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
Merry Christmas, Merry New Year to you, Heather, your family
at both work and at home. Heather no Backer, executive
director of the United Way of Grand Forks and East
Grand Forks. I look forward to our future visits in
twenty twenty five.
Speaker 6 (25:32):
I do to Merry Christmas to you and everybody at
the studio and the community.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
Thank you, Heathers.
Speaker 4 (25:40):
Let me put it this way your Thursday morning. More
on award, Yes, more on my nexcel ninety three and a.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
Very special guest in studio right now as we get
into our Moro on Award, Eric Schmidder, You and the
football coach, brand new coach. Welcome back to GF my friend. Yeah,
good to be home. Appreciate you having me on this morning, Trevor.
We're going to get down to business on what's coming
up in the big season, in the off season and
our big welcoming back to Grand Forks. All that good
stuff more on a board today makes me feel a
(26:06):
little more seen about my life, a little more grounded,
if you will. That's kind of why we do this, Santa.
What can't this guy do? There's no quicker way to
be added to the Natty List than stealing a car
and having Santa catch you. In the act, we meet
an eighteen year old from Alabama, Darien King, and another
person apparently took a Nissan Altima on Sunday and drove off. Now,
(26:28):
someone called the police and they spotted the car pulling
into a church. The cops stopped the vehicle and Darien's
passenger surrendered, but Darien made a run for it and
headed into a waded area behind the church. Now, for
some reason, some reason Santa was hanging out in those woods.
Not the real guy, kids, not the real actual Santo
was one of the retired deputies in a Santa Suit convenience.
(26:50):
He was volunteering for an event at the church. The
deputy Santa san Darien trying to sneak back towards the
church and blend in with the crowd. However, he was
able to catch up to him and team him until
the cops arrived. Yeah, it was kind of hard. I
mean the guy he was young.
Speaker 8 (27:06):
I'm old, I'm sixty one, but Dan state caked in.
I just did what I did, you know. I tay him,
I grabbed him, We took him to the ground and
thankful my cousin was right there to help, and we
put his hands behind his back and I also got
on top of him in handcuffed.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
Men Dari in charge with receiving property and attempting to
allude a police officer. And the passenger was released, but
Garthieve got by Santa. Nothing that man can do. Fourth
trip to Alabama in twenty twenty four, Your Thursday Morning,
more on a ward, Eric, I it was a big
test today. We haven't really had winter weather. We've just
kind of had some sprinkles and snow showers and our
(27:44):
first storm today to see if you're going to make
it to our studios to pass the Grand Forks winter
weather test. But this isn't your first rodeo.
Speaker 9 (27:51):

foot in front of the other man. We made it
in so so Yeah, old old Grand Forks. We'll get
to you some days. But wasn't bad, No, it was.
It's good to good to be here and good do
uh good to us talk a little und football.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
We're talking off here. We're all whirlwind. I'm sure it's
been for you not to mention the busiest time of
the year from all of the sudden, this new position
opening and quickly being filled. How did this play out
for you? Yeah, I mean it was. It was a
quick process.
Speaker 9 (28:23):
They always are, especially I think, you know, with the
with the timing of everything that was going on here,
you know, just to be able.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
To uh to get to the interview process off of it.
Speaker 9 (28:34):
And and I really think the guys in the interview,
you know, Bill Chaves, Eric Martinson, in the entire committee.
I've said it before, like just the uh how well
run you know, the asking the right questions. Uh, you know,
doing it in a timely manner. You know, they definitely
had some some deadlines that that they understood too as well,
just with the current roster and the transfer portal, you know,
I mean opening up just to be able to to
(28:56):
be able to give those guys some clarity and and
uh and give them some direct action as far as
where the program was going.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
So I really commend them.
Speaker 9 (29:04):
And it was awesome, you know, to be able to
just sit down and listen to to you know, the
the changes that have been made here since I had
been gone, and and the investments and just the you know,
I mean, the the willingness to say, hey man, whatever
we have to do here, let's do it, and and
let's take this program forward. So I'm excited, you know,
just to be able to humble, to be able to
be back here and and uh and to be able
(29:25):
to have an opportunity to to lead this team and
the young guys and uh, and to be able to
you know, like sending out higher staff, get those guys
in here, and get this thing off the ground here
in January.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
We are so excited. There's just been a rejuvenation the
football program. Even though this past season is not done yet,
there's no time off anymore. With you mentioned the transfer portal,
you can't get to the end of the season kick
your feet up till the spring game comes around.
Speaker 9 (29:49):
Yeah, no, I think that's probably uh, you know, the
one thing that that we've really tried to put an
emphasis on here early on is just the recruiting side
of things.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
And you've got a great opportunity.
Speaker 9 (30:00):
Here with uh, with the transfer portal and also with
the with the the high school guys that are coming
here to be able to improve your roster. And I
think that, uh, we understand that it's at the it's
at the top of our list right now. But besides,
you know, having conversations with with some of the.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
Coaches and uh, you know what I mean, and and and.
Speaker 9 (30:16):
Getting your staff filled out, it's hey, like, where are
the where are the spots that we feel like, hey,
we need to improve, whether that's the top of our
roster and improve some of the depth of our roster.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
And and this place is close.
Speaker 9 (30:27):
You know, we we've talked to a lot of guys
and and and just you know, guys that that have
researched our program, that are coming in here that are interested. Like,
you know, there was a time late in the season
where you know, you're sitting five and two and uh
you know, I think top seven in the country, you know,
things like that. So uh so you know, one bad
month is really what it was. So I'm excited that,
you know, guys like, hey, this is a place, Like
(30:48):
there's some good pieces to the puzzle in place here.
There's some some good coaches here too as well. So
so definitely, you know, it's it's to build off of
that now and be able to, uh to be able
to take those you know, whatever those missing pieces are
and add those to a roster and then do some things,
you know, just with our our program, the year round,
the year round training calendar off of it and making
(31:09):
that as precise as we can with our guys and
adding adding some things there to be able to say, hey, guys,
like the works to work, man, you got to be
able to put it in day in and day out
off of it and and really inch by inch by
inch get better. But at the end of the day, man,
if you look at the track record of what we're
doing and the success that we've had and turning some
programs around here in a short amount of time. Like
(31:30):
the work works. You just got to follow the protocols.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
It's so good motivational speak. I want to try. Unfortunately,
I can't play because I already have a degree at
un D So that's the only reason I couldn't play
on the team, even as the backup to the backup punch.
But I really wouldn't fill that position. Looking forward to
the new season next year.
Speaker 9 (31:49):
Yeah, no, we are too. Like I said, we got
a lot of things right now that we've got to
get in order. Like I said, I keep using the
term get the get the get it off the ground.
But sure excited, you know, I mean there's a lot
of excitement around the guy has had an opportunity to
sit down and have a private, one on one meeting
with all the guys that are returning, and there's definitely
there's a there's a good culture.
Speaker 6 (32:08):
You know.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
I mean, there's a buzz. Those guys are.
Speaker 9 (32:10):
Excited, and that's really what it's about, Like it's about
pouring into those guys every single day. You do this
because of the players, you know, and you want to
give those guys the most incredible experience that they've had
in their life up to this point.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
Like we talked to them like, hey, you're.
Speaker 9 (32:23):
Going to go on and be a husband and a
father and there's gonna be way more important things that
you do in your life besides football. But we want
to make this up to you an eighteen to twenty
two or twenty three year old young man's life. We
want to make this experience of him playing football at
UNDE the best experience that he's had in his life.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
Go down somebody with grand fortune experience coming back here too.
So if it does just feel like you've been gone
from the area for like two weeks.
Speaker 9 (32:47):
Yeah, it hits you in a second here that you know,
it feels like I said, it's it's been fast right
now off of it, but you know, to see some
of the familiar faces. I had a chance to be
able to get to the basketball game last night in
the atmosphere and just just watching those guys fight and
the gritty effort that they had, and then being able
to see some of the same seats you know, or
(33:07):
the same people in the same seats as.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
When I left.
Speaker 9 (33:09):
It definitely brings back back some memories and that's why
you know, you come back to a place like this,
like U and D special because of the people. There's
so many people that live and die and support this place.
And you know, it's just in the fabric of not
only Grand Forks, but the Red River Valley, the entire
area and the entire state. So I'm excited and understand that.
Hey man, we it's a lot of people that have
(33:31):
a lot of pride in this place, and you know
they're going to get our very best every single day
that we get up and and you know, try to
get this place back on top.
Speaker 1 (33:39):
Eric Schmid, our brand new U and D head football coach,
I know we've got to bounce to a couple of
the other stations here. I'll hit you with two questions
I want to get. Not that I'm throwing money down,
but we need to know and we can say spoiler
alert right now, there's four teams loft. Who wins the
FCS this year. That's a great question.
Speaker 9 (33:54):
I mean, it's honestly like and I think it can
be any one of the four off of it, you know, obviously,
uh you know, the home games matter. I feel like
at this time of year, like home field advantage is big.
So uh so you got to look at at the
teams that are hosting. But it's you know, you get
off to a bad start, get getting a bad you know,
situation off of it, like everybody plays good defense of
the teams that are left here and uh, and it
(34:16):
should be a fun weekend, you know, I mean not
only in the FCS playoffs, but also in the in
the college football playoff you know, I mean taking off
this weekend too as well.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
So it'll be a fun football weekend, all right, So
don't put money down. That's what I'm taking out of
that question of the day today. Non football related, but
still hard hitting this time of year. Christmas movies the
one you've seen the most and if you can declare
one you've ben say is overrated. Oh it's Diehard a
Christmas it is, I'm gonna say die Hard man.
Speaker 9 (34:42):
The reruns of die Hard is my My wife does
not like when that comes on, you know, I mean
during the year. So and then probably home alone, right,
I got, I got, I got you know, middle aged children,
I guess now we're or uh, you know, middle schoolers
and uh and upper elementary schools, so they still home alone,
are still still a hit at the house.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
So it'd be between those two, the old the.
Speaker 9 (35:03):
Older generation, my generation. We gotta go die hard, right,
and then the younger kids will be home alone.
Speaker 1 (35:08):
That came off here your tongue right away. I think
it just became best friends. Awesome the Fortune music station
on a snowy day, Trevity and I am blessed with
the one they call Grace helping me out for a
minute here this morning.
Speaker 3 (35:21):
Good morning, Good morning to you.

Speaker 3 (35:25):
East side tough, I am, but my car isn't.

No, I'm just kidding.
Speaker 1 (35:58):
Homework.
Speaker 3 (35:58):
That would have been funny, though.
Speaker 1 (36:00):
It would be really funny if you made it through
the snow out sign then you fell in insign the hallway.
Speaker 3 (36:04):
Yeah, as soon as I get into my car.
Speaker 1 (36:06):
That's so you know, you're truly a winter person where
you can't function walking on carpet.
Speaker 3 (36:11):

Guaranteed grace, you answered the question of the day. If
you don't mind, I'm nice. You got to snap orders
at you answer my question. I would love to Christmas movies.
You've had a lot of fewer years of watching Christmas
(38:33):
movies than I have. But Christmas movie you would think
you watched the most most and then if there's one
you'd say is overrated.
Speaker 3 (38:40):

Speaker 1 (38:49):
You know to go to New York for the world's
best content.

Not my bag.
Speaker 3 (39:08):
You get up at like three in the morning, and
you're not a coffee drinker.
Speaker 1 (39:11):
Even the coffee shops aren't open when I get up.
Speaker 10 (39:14):
That's true. Most overrated home alone. That's a really like
bad answer.
Speaker 3 (39:21):
But I can't really think of another one.
Speaker 1 (39:23):
It's all subjective. Yeah, just number one, I think though.
The most voted overrated so far has been Christmas Story.
Speaker 3 (39:30):
Oh, oh my gosh, that one I.
Speaker 1 (39:33):
Changed my change your answer. It's funny we still quote
those movies.
Speaker 10 (39:38):
Yeah, that's the one you turn the TV on like cable,
and that's the one just on repeat the entire month.
Speaker 1 (39:45):
I don't know if they still do it. And it
was TBS or TNT or maybe both of them. Black
Friday put it on repeat for twenty four hours.
Speaker 3 (39:54):
Yep, that's awful.
Speaker 1 (39:55):
And you're right. If you flick channels right now, we
find it. Yeah, for sure, all right, we can still
be friends.
Speaker 3 (40:02):
Yeah, what's yours.
Speaker 1 (40:03):
We'll get to die Hard eventually. Oh, I believe you've
never seen it.
Speaker 3 (40:07):
I was going to say that.
Speaker 1 (40:08):
I was hoping we do that for a Christmas party.
There's still time.
Speaker 10 (40:12):
The new movie on Netflix, carry On. Everyone's comparing it
to die Hard. You need to watch it on Yeah,
well carry on like a carry on that you bring
on a plane. Yeah, you got to watch it. Will

Speaker 1 (40:27):
I want to watch you watch die Hard? Is that creepy?
Speaker 3 (40:32):
Just stare out?
Speaker 1 (40:33):
You're watching Bruce Willis on a big screen for rent
out a projector or something.
Speaker 10 (40:40):
Maybe that's the most overrated movie die Hard at here.
Speaker 1 (40:47):
As we say in the radio business, now don't go anywhere.
I need a friend for a minute. A new poll
asks people what they use for a when it comes
to the holiday beverage season. Do you rely on the alcohol?
Are you leaning on booze to get through the next
few weeks? Newpole found more of us ron digging the
(41:08):
holidays this year. Forty eight percent of Americans don't plan
to drink or smoke anything during the holidays.
Speaker 10 (41:13):
Almost half wow not hearing credit not in this part
of the world.
Speaker 3 (41:19):
We're in a different dimension.
Speaker 1 (41:20):
You might be four point eight percent. Well, we've got
to deal with this winter nonsense for sometimes five months exactly.
I didn't think I enough to use the snowblower. I
don't know why I thought that. This year, it's up
from forty two percent, same question asked two years ago.
Just eleven percent plan to do both drink and smoke,
down from thirteen percent. But for people who don't plan
to be sober this month, the top things were drinking.
(41:42):
People asked what will you drink the most this holiday season?
What would your answer be, as in, don't rigulated? Yep,
it's got to be on this top five list somewhere.
Speaker 3 (41:54):
Maybe like a glass of wine.
Speaker 1 (41:57):
You're very prestigious like that, even though you come from
mea side.
Speaker 3 (42:02):
Yeah, it can't be too prestigious there.
Speaker 1 (42:05):
Twenty one percent going with the wine. Eggnog nineteen percent.
Speaker 3 (42:09):
Do you like eggnog?
Speaker 1 (42:10):
It makes delicious pancakes. That's what I keep telling everybody.
I use that instead of the milk manis.
Speaker 3 (42:16):
I'll try that.
Speaker 1 (42:17):
That's baking soda. You can fluff them up nicely. I'd say,
invite me over to egg pancakes. But that's even weirder
than than I watched. The hard mixed drinks. Seventeen percent
will dabble straight liquor, ten percent not messing around at all.
Only six percent said sign or spiked seltzer, five percent
going champagne, but the number one answer hello bush lattes,
(42:39):
twenty two percent going with beer.
Speaker 3 (42:41):
Huh.
Speaker 1 (42:42):
Eggnog though third most popular holiday drink.
Speaker 3 (42:45):
Crazy. I didn't know people liked it that much.
Speaker 1 (42:49):
You just don't tell anybody because then you take heat
for it. It's like you're telling people I like fruitcake.
Speaker 3 (42:53):
It kind of tastes like bubblegum. Is that a hot
take eggnog?
Speaker 1 (42:58):
I could see that there's different flavors of too. For
the pancakes. If you can find the cinnamon or vanilla kind,
that makes it even better. Yeah, but you can add
cinnamon and vanilla. It's your pancakes. But once again, I
won't come up in your kitchen and make pancakes.
Speaker 3 (43:10):
Leave me alone.
Speaker 1 (43:12):
I am gonna be I have to stay within fifty
feet of you. In twenty twenty five, we keep talking

If you're Arees, they say a Christmas story. It checks
the boxes for ares with a storyline that leverages triple
dog dares, obsession, poor impulse control, and tacky lamps. If
you're a Taurus, the classic nineteen forty seven version of
Miracle on thirty Fourth Street. Taurus folks make for natural skeptics.
(05:39):
Bulls will approve of this movie. Mediation on capitalism, the
burden of proof, and the beauty of believing. Gemini is
your movie is the Santa Clauses. The premise is one
close to the extremely indecisive heart of every Gemini. As
a retirement age Santamus grapple with life balance and the
(06:01):
consequence of his bad choices, especially a TV series in
Disney Plus. But it's a continuation of Big to Malan
Santa Claus movie series, all Right Cancers the Lindsay Lowan
Netflix movie Falling for Christmas. The trailer reminds us sometimes
forgetting who you are means discovering who you are, which
(06:22):
sounds like a waters sign justifying their alcohol blackout or
poor choice and romantic partners. Leo. These are the Christmas
movies you should watch based on your zodiac sign, Leo,
Freddi Prince Junior, Netflix movie Christmas with You, dance routines, dilfs,
grand gestures, all catnip to Leo, I'll do one more
(06:43):
for now, Virgo. Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. Virgo thrives
him being underestimated and a no story encapsulates the spirit
of the underdog or under deer like Rudolph. Christmas movies
you should watch based on your zodiac sign. But my
end of the day, what Christmas movie have you seen
the most? And what do you declare is overrated? Let's
(07:04):
look at the Excelmty three facebook page here, uh Toijo
going with seeing the Most, how the Grinch Stole Christmas
and overrated It is a Christmas story all subjective answers
of course, Twila seeing the most Christmas with the Cranks
and most overrated another vote for Christmas story. Although Brandy
going with the Christmas story that's the one she's seen
(07:25):
the most. Was a t T or TBS that used
to do the twenty four hour marathon. I don't know
if they still do that. I think there was a
Black Friday thing Christmas story. However, I do use the
line you'll shoot your eye own kid, whatever the opportunity arises.
I'm guessing she's answering the overrated question there and Cassie
going the most watch would be any of the Santa Clauses.
Grew up on those and now my daughter loves them too.
(07:48):
Overrated Christmas with the Cranks? Good morning?
Speaker 6 (07:52):
Hey, Hey, how's it going?
Speaker 1 (07:54):
I am good yourself?
Speaker 6 (07:56):
Why not too?
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Dad? Who am I visiting with? Josh? Josh? What Christmas
movie have you seen the most? And what Christmas movie
do you Declaire's completely overrated? I've probably seen the most bad. Interesting,
no one said that yet. I don't think I've seen
that from start to finish? How bad is he? He's
(08:21):
he's pretty funny, pretty good? How about overrated? Overrated? Don't
get a Christmas story? That's but the number one answer today. Interesting,
I didn't realize so many people were tired of it,
but you didn't get tired of those ones who love
it the most. You've got to watch and that goes
(08:43):
for anyway. Josh, what are we doing here? Trevor's favorite things?
You want a gift card to Northern Air Action Park
or Sublime Aesthetic Professionals. Let's Sublime. That make a good
red gift. You'll pretend you're thoughtful and didn't win it
on the radio. Right, fifty bucks to Sublime Aesthetic Professionals. Buddy,
(09:08):
we're going ninety three minutes commercial free. How about I
just ask you what station provides you with the most
Christmas gifts guaranteed? Excel ninety three the folks at music
station Christmas movies based on your zodiac sign. That's what
we're talking about today. What is the best suit for you?
(09:29):
We'll get into the question of the day. We'll do
some winning here coming up in just a couple of minutes.
I've declared it a bonus day of the Hugos twelve
days of groceries. New York Post articles spitting these out
These aren't according to Trevor. Are you a Libra like me?
They say? The answer for us is elf. We are
inclined to have a difficult relationships with the fathers. Never
(09:51):
has that dramatic dynamic been more delightfully dramatized than in
the ballot of Buddy the Alf and his Dan. I
like El, I don't really think I've had a difficult
relationship with my father. Scorpio going with spirited the Christmas
Carol adaptations during Ryan Reynolds and Will Ferrell. No one
(10:12):
loves a bad guy goes good story arc more than
a Scorpio. If you're Sagittarius, the Netflix movie A Boy
Called Christmas It is pure cinematic bait for the average
Sagittarius who loves nothing more than an unexpected journey and
optimis aeron Capricorn, the classic national influence Christmas Vacation. Capricorn
(10:36):
represents the archetype of the father, and there has never
been a better unhinged holiday Daddy than Chevy Chase's Clark Chriswold.
I wonder if Capricorn's have the best holiday light displays
then too. If you're Aquarius, your movie is Home Alone.
Most lone wolf water bearers would welcome the chance to
spend the holidays alone in a fancy house, eating ice
(10:56):
cream and out starting bad guys. And finally, I sees
is there more of a classic than it's a wonderful
life ruled by dream a planet Neptune. Pisces is associated
with film fantasy and barklong romance, so just suit you, guys.
Of course, everybody all twelve agree. The New York Post
said die Hard is perfect for all of us. So
(11:18):
if they just didn't include that on their list of
the twelve they gave out, but it's interesting some new
and old Christmas classics. My question of the day today,
I'm looking for those holiday movies, the one you've seen
the most, and then one you just declarre is overrated.
Just look at a charity page here for a moment
Bill going with the most die Hard and die Hard
(11:40):
too Christmas classics for sure. Can't argue that. I think
I might be in your same boat, Buddy and overrated
Alpha Home Alone, Shannon's saying most Christmas vacation or home
alone and overrated. Probably a Christmas story that seems to
be getting the most fotes for overrated, Stephanie, Most Christmas
Vacation overrated as story, but love actually for operrated. Maybe
(12:04):
if you're a dude, it's just overrated. I don't think
i'd seen it in its entirety until last year, and
just thought I guess I really didn't miss out. I don't.
We'll throwing daggers around today, but keep in mind all
subjective excel Nutty three on the way, how much time
(12:25):
do we waste? How much have you wasted this year
searching for something to watch? Perhaps it's mind blowing because
it's trending. It's next excel Nutty three. Hello, Well, hey,
who how are you? Who am I visiting with? And
two folded Christmas question movie question today? The holiday movie
(12:49):
you think you've seen the most, and the one the
one you declare is overrated? I send I hide the
most good for you and Christmas story that seems to
be getting the most votes for overrated today.
Speaker 7 (13:05):
All right, I don't know, but works three.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
I don't know why either. No one has picked my
popular Love Actually movie for the overrated Yes, but maybe
that's just because I'm a dude and all I only
do is manpoint related stuff. That's why I wholeheartedly agree
with your diehard you will be right on Love Actually.
(13:31):
I've only seen it once and let's just some twelve
days of groceries winning three stockings. You know the drow
select stocking one two or three will dump rout we'll
see what's inside. Let's teop one. All right, let's grab
it off the wall.
Speaker 5 (13:48):
Congratulations you on twenty dollars and groceries from Hugoes Larry Christmas.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Now I've got twenty bucks to Hugos for you. Am well,
thank you, Bonus. Hey, we're just getting rolling here. Here
goes twelve days of groceries. Keep them for yourselves, Maybe
slip it in someone's stocking. You can really use it.
What station is the most groceries to give away this
time of year? Guaranteed?
Speaker 4 (14:11):
Three am much trending teshtag trending on Excel nighty three.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Below average and happy about it. That's why I only
watch reruns of the Office, A much more efficient. No
need to waste time choosing what I'm going to watch. Actually,
we're watching How I Met Your Mother. That's on Netflix
right now. You know stuff everyone else watched fifteen years ago.
(14:41):
Both found the average American, though, wasted one hundred and
ten hours this year just searching for stuff to watch.
I would guess maybe an hour a month. In reality,
you most likely double that because all those previews pop pump.
But here's the deal for rank. If I will it
just seems it's be spending a lot less time choosing
(15:03):
what to watch right now than even a few three, four,
five years ago, because Netflix and all the other services
have here's the top ten movies, here's the top ten
TV shows. This is what you should watch based on
what else you've watched, So they really kind of narrow
it down, but it works out here. One hundred and
ten hours searching for stuff to watch four and a
half hours a day worth of time, or roughly one
(15:25):
percent of your year. Four and a half days worth
of time, not every single day, four and a half hour,
four and a half hour days worth of time, roughly
one percent of your year you'll never get back. One
of five people think it's harder to find something to
watch today than it was ten years ago, even though
there's way more content. Most common complaints streaming services loaded
with too much old stuff they have to sift through.
(15:46):
One and four. I also think there's too much original
content being produced, but it saves the money to make
the original content. They don't have to pay the outrageous
show fees to get the classic shows that we love
and know and want to watch again. That's why they
do that. I used to be hard against the original content.
I'm a little softer on it now. But the average
(16:06):
American one hundred and ten hours just searching for stuff
to watch in twenty twenty four. So hallelujah, I'm below
average again. That's trending everything I shared with you, excelnety
three dot com, the charity page. Bet you didn't know.
Random facts coming at you now, that's excel nutty three.
(16:26):
Time for some randomness today. Bench didn't know. So there's
a tale that a runner from Oregon named for Smithson
won the one hundred ten meter hurdles at the nineteen
oh eight Olympics, well, carrying a Bible in his hand.
Have you heard that from your pastor while Sunday service? Well,
there aren't any official reports they confirm it, and he
(16:48):
may have just posed for the Bible in his hand
after the race. You think someone would have posted on
TikTok or something match did know. Every British king or
queen is a second birthday assigned to them. The real
birthday isn't in the summer. That's nice, that's pleasant, so
there's good weather for the birthday parade. For example, Queen
Lizzie Deuce, Queen Elizabeth the Second's actual birthday was April
(17:09):
twenty first, but her official birthday was held on a
Saturday in June. Saying with King Chuck. King Charles his
real birthdays November fourteenth, but his official one was held
June fifteenth. One of grand folks, Mayor Brandon mcchenski, is
big enough deal. We get a second birthday and it
was real birthdays in April. Well off ass next time around.
(17:30):
Betch did know pez candies got their name from the
German word beeffermins p f e f f e r
m I n z. We'll pronounce the peppermint's. It's there
for a reason. It means peppermint, since that was the
original flavor. Is fun with words? How about oxy moron?
(17:51):
Betch didn't know the word oxy Moron's actually an oxymoron.
It's the combination of two Greek words oxy meaning sharpened
keen and moron meaning nolan stupid. I don't blown minds today.
Some schools off canceled delay today, and we're just learning
like nobody's business around these parts, like you learn when
(18:14):
you're watching Sesame Street. Betch didn't know Mississippi Bend Sesame
Street in nineteen seventy for having a racially integrated cast.
Mississippi Public Television thought the portrayal of multi racial harmony
on city streets in a kid's show is unacceptable. Parents
successfully petitioned to state to bring the state to bring
it back and get this. Jim Henson was born in Mississippi. Ouch.
(18:37):
Now you know, well our snowy, winter, stormy day is
not going to stop us visiting with one of my
favorite people of the amazing Heather Novak, executive director of
the United Way of Grand Fork, saying East Grand Borgs,
Good morning, Heather, Good morning, how you I'm happy to
(18:58):
be at work yourself.
Speaker 6 (19:01):
I'm looking out the window seeing all the snow.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
We have out here.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
See, I thought you decided you were going to California
and you were just going to hang out there till
the winter was over, which would have been a logical decision.
I quit of respected that too.
Speaker 6 (19:16):
You know, I'm not going to lie. When I got
off the airplane in Ground Fork, I kind of was
second guessing why I was back.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
And now it looks like we're going to have a
white Christmas after all. How lucky are we? I know
it is beautiful.
Speaker 6 (19:30):
I'm not going to lie. I'm out. I live out
in Larmer area, and it's we've got quite a bit
of snow already out here.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
What was nice when I was shoveling snow at three
twenty seven this morning, and I'm not exaggerating, was the
snow for once was easy to move. It's going to
be an issue on the winds pick up later today.
But it was light, fluffy stuff, I think the first
time all year. No I entered to it.
Speaker 6 (19:54):
No, no, it looks it looks pretty light out there. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
Well, there's your forecast, there's your latest one, your storm update.
Let's talk to you. Not a way update. I know
everyone's easing into the holidays, but it's business as usual,
full throttle down view, not in way. We need some help.
The community going to come through again.
Speaker 6 (20:14):
Right, absolutely, So. This whole week we have been working
on our winter wish list. We have had multiple families
come into the Ground Forks office and be able to
pick out their own gifts for their families. We have
also delivered out in the Laromoer area to families out
(20:38):
there for gifts also, and then we are also doing
those holiday food baskets and so the larymoer ones.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
Most of them were delivered.
Speaker 6 (20:49):
Yesterday and the Groundworks ones are going out to be
delivered yesterday and then possibly some tomorrow for whatever didn't
get done yesterday, and so we're really excited to get
the families set up. I appreciate everybody who has helped
out in the community because seriously, we have done lots
(21:09):
of call to actions lately for different things for our shelter,
for Winter wish lists, and it has been absolutely amazing.
We had a shout out for Christmas trees for our
shelter families and we were able to get enough donations
of Christmas tree so all of our families have moved
(21:30):
into our new family shelter in Grounds Works and they
were all able to get Christmas trees gifts through our
Winter wish Lists's gifts. And that's all because of the community.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
So we weren't an that point when we visited last week,
weren't we No.
Speaker 6 (21:45):
We weren't. We weren't. Nope, we finally got everybody moved in,
you know, that was truly a goal of ours. We
have five homeless families right now that we're working with
and they were in the hotel and we wanted to
make sure that they were able to spend their Christmas
in the shelter in those apartments that we purchase.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
It's not even a doulf clap. I'm going to do
a loud clap for you guys in the United Way
and the great community in North Dakota, Minnesota. Nice helping
out again, but we can still help right absolutely.
Speaker 6 (22:21):
You know these everything is done year round. You know,
we have different different events throughout the year, whether like
I said, Winter wish list or different projects, whether it's
the kids closet and our quanfit those type of things.
There's always something going on and so especially with year
(22:42):
end coming, Christmas coming, any monetary donations are so appreciated.
If you want to donate any in kind items. We
are still looking for items for our families first shelter,
so microwaves and vacuums, cleaning supplies. It took us a
(23:03):
lot of time to sit down and figure out what
are all of those items that need to come into
this apartment because when we walk into those apartments, there's
absolutely nothing in there, and we need to make sure
that they're fully ready for our homeless families that are
coming in.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
Give GFGF dot org slash give the way to help
out here GFEGF dot org slash give help support families
in our community have their no back from the United Way.
I really do appreciate what you guys do for the
community all year long and especially this time of year,
and I'm really proud of everybody for helping accomplish some goals.
Speaker 6 (23:39):
We have an amazing community, not only Ground Forks, but
all the surrounding communities to get where. People really care
so much, and you know, they want to be a
part of these things and they want to help their
local neighbor. And for me, it's even better because I
get to see it every day. I absolutely truly love
(23:59):
my job and I love what we do, and I
wouldn't We wouldn't be able to do those things without
the community. So we do appreciate everybody else there.
Speaker 7 (24:06):
Well.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
I wish you the merriest of Christmas is happiest of
the merriest of New Year's too, And I want to
get you in my question on the day before we
part ways. All right, Heather, think about this. What Christmas
movie have you seen the most? And then what Christmas
movie would you declare as completely overrated.
Speaker 6 (24:24):
I have seen else the most respectable.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
You now know where the world's best cup of coffee is?
Speaker 6 (24:36):
Yes, and overrated?
Speaker 1 (24:41):
Hmm, you know, I don't know if I have one,
And that's okay, that's okay. You're just that good of
a person where you're not even going to declare it's overrated.
Speaker 6 (24:55):
Well. The nice thing is, you know, when it comes
to Christmas movies, you really only watch them once a year,
can you do? So?
Speaker 1 (25:03):
I have two boxes at dvs at home. They get
pulled out when the tree comes out and they get
put away. If I had my way, would be like February.
But my wife would say January second and midnight.
Speaker 6 (25:15):
Right. Yes, So nope, I don't have one that is overrated.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
Merry Christmas, Merry New Year to you, Heather, your family
at both work and at home. Heather no Backer, executive
director of the United Way of Grand Forks and East
Grand Forks. I look forward to our future visits in
twenty twenty five.
Speaker 6 (25:32):
I do to Merry Christmas to you and everybody at
the studio and the community.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
Thank you, Heathers.
Speaker 4 (25:40):
Let me put it this way your Thursday morning. More
on award, Yes, more on my nexcel ninety three and a.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
Very special guest in studio right now as we get
into our Moro on Award, Eric Schmidder, You and the
football coach, brand new coach. Welcome back to GF my friend. Yeah,
good to be home. Appreciate you having me on this morning, Trevor.
We're going to get down to business on what's coming
up in the big season, in the off season and
our big welcoming back to Grand Forks. All that good
stuff more on a board today makes me feel a
(26:06):
little more seen about my life, a little more grounded,
if you will. That's kind of why we do this, Santa.
What can't this guy do? There's no quicker way to
be added to the Natty List than stealing a car
and having Santa catch you. In the act, we meet
an eighteen year old from Alabama, Darien King, and another
person apparently took a Nissan Altima on Sunday and drove off. Now,
(26:28):
someone called the police and they spotted the car pulling
into a church. The cops stopped the vehicle and Darien's
passenger surrendered, but Darien made a run for it and
headed into a waded area behind the church. Now, for
some reason, some reason Santa was hanging out in those woods.
Not the real guy, kids, not the real actual Santo
was one of the retired deputies in a Santa Suit convenience.
(26:50):
He was volunteering for an event at the church. The
deputy Santa san Darien trying to sneak back towards the
church and blend in with the crowd. However, he was
able to catch up to him and team him until
the cops arrived. Yeah, it was kind of hard. I
mean the guy he was young.
Speaker 8 (27:06):
I'm old, I'm sixty one, but Dan state caked in.
I just did what I did, you know. I tay him,
I grabbed him, We took him to the ground and
thankful my cousin was right there to help, and we
put his hands behind his back and I also got
on top of him in handcuffed.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
Men Dari in charge with receiving property and attempting to
allude a police officer. And the passenger was released, but
Garthieve got by Santa. Nothing that man can do. Fourth
trip to Alabama in twenty twenty four, Your Thursday Morning,
more on a ward, Eric, I it was a big
test today. We haven't really had winter weather. We've just
kind of had some sprinkles and snow showers and our
(27:44):
first storm today to see if you're going to make
it to our studios to pass the Grand Forks winter
weather test. But this isn't your first rodeo.
Speaker 9 (27:51):
Yeah no, just put your head down, keep putting one
foot in front of the other man. We made it
in so so Yeah, old old Grand Forks. We'll get
to you some days. But wasn't bad, No, it was.
It's good to good to be here and good do
uh good to us talk a little und football.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
We're talking off here. We're all whirlwind. I'm sure it's
been for you not to mention the busiest time of
the year from all of the sudden, this new position
opening and quickly being filled. How did this play out
for you? Yeah, I mean it was. It was a
quick process.
Speaker 9 (28:23):
They always are, especially I think, you know, with the
with the timing of everything that was going on here,
you know, just to be able.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
To uh to get to the interview process off of it.
Speaker 9 (28:34):
And and I really think the guys in the interview,
you know, Bill Chaves, Eric Martinson, in the entire committee.
I've said it before, like just the uh how well
run you know, the asking the right questions. Uh, you know,
doing it in a timely manner. You know, they definitely
had some some deadlines that that they understood too as well,
just with the current roster and the transfer portal, you know,
I mean opening up just to be able to to
(28:56):
be able to give those guys some clarity and and
uh and give them some direct action as far as
where the program was going.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
So I really commend them.
Speaker 9 (29:04):
And it was awesome, you know, to be able to
just sit down and listen to to you know, the
the changes that have been made here since I had
been gone, and and the investments and just the you know,
I mean, the the willingness to say, hey man, whatever
we have to do here, let's do it, and and
let's take this program forward. So I'm excited, you know,
just to be able to humble, to be able to
be back here and and uh and to be able
(29:25):
to have an opportunity to to lead this team and
the young guys and uh, and to be able to
you know, like sending out higher staff, get those guys
in here, and get this thing off the ground here
in January.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
We are so excited. There's just been a rejuvenation the
football program. Even though this past season is not done yet,
there's no time off anymore. With you mentioned the transfer portal,
you can't get to the end of the season kick
your feet up till the spring game comes around.
Speaker 9 (29:49):
Yeah, no, I think that's probably uh, you know, the
one thing that that we've really tried to put an
emphasis on here early on is just the recruiting side
of things.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
And you've got a great opportunity.
Speaker 9 (30:00):
Here with uh, with the transfer portal and also with
the with the the high school guys that are coming
here to be able to improve your roster. And I
think that, uh, we understand that it's at the it's
at the top of our list right now. But besides,
you know, having conversations with with some of the.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
Coaches and uh, you know what I mean, and and and.
Speaker 9 (30:16):
Getting your staff filled out, it's hey, like, where are
the where are the spots that we feel like, hey,
we need to improve, whether that's the top of our
roster and improve some of the depth of our roster.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
And and this place is close.
Speaker 9 (30:27):
You know, we we've talked to a lot of guys
and and and just you know, guys that that have
researched our program, that are coming in here that are interested. Like,
you know, there was a time late in the season
where you know, you're sitting five and two and uh
you know, I think top seven in the country, you know,
things like that. So uh so you know, one bad
month is really what it was. So I'm excited that,
you know, guys like, hey, this is a place, Like
(30:48):
there's some good pieces to the puzzle in place here.
There's some some good coaches here too as well. So
so definitely, you know, it's it's to build off of
that now and be able to, uh to be able
to take those you know, whatever those missing pieces are
and add those to a roster and then do some things,
you know, just with our our program, the year round,
the year round training calendar off of it and making
(31:09):
that as precise as we can with our guys and
adding adding some things there to be able to say, hey, guys,
like the works to work, man, you got to be
able to put it in day in and day out
off of it and and really inch by inch by
inch get better. But at the end of the day, man,
if you look at the track record of what we're
doing and the success that we've had and turning some
programs around here in a short amount of time. Like
(31:30):
the work works. You just got to follow the protocols.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
It's so good motivational speak. I want to try. Unfortunately,
I can't play because I already have a degree at
un D So that's the only reason I couldn't play
on the team, even as the backup to the backup punch.
But I really wouldn't fill that position. Looking forward to
the new season next year.
Speaker 9 (31:49):
Yeah, no, we are too. Like I said, we got
a lot of things right now that we've got to
get in order. Like I said, I keep using the
term get the get the get it off the ground.
But sure excited, you know, I mean there's a lot
of excitement around the guy has had an opportunity to
sit down and have a private, one on one meeting
with all the guys that are returning, and there's definitely
there's a there's a good culture.
Speaker 6 (32:08):
You know.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
I mean, there's a buzz. Those guys are.
Speaker 9 (32:10):
Excited, and that's really what it's about, Like it's about
pouring into those guys every single day. You do this
because of the players, you know, and you want to
give those guys the most incredible experience that they've had
in their life up to this point.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
Like we talked to them like, hey, you're.
Speaker 9 (32:23):
Going to go on and be a husband and a
father and there's gonna be way more important things that
you do in your life besides football. But we want
to make this up to you an eighteen to twenty
two or twenty three year old young man's life. We
want to make this experience of him playing football at
UNDE the best experience that he's had in his life.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
Go down somebody with grand fortune experience coming back here too.
So if it does just feel like you've been gone
from the area for like two weeks.
Speaker 9 (32:47):
Yeah, it hits you in a second here that you know,
it feels like I said, it's it's been fast right
now off of it, but you know, to see some
of the familiar faces. I had a chance to be
able to get to the basketball game last night in
the atmosphere and just just watching those guys fight and
the gritty effort that they had, and then being able
to see some of the same seats you know, or
(33:07):
the same people in the same seats as.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
When I left.
Speaker 9 (33:09):
It definitely brings back back some memories and that's why
you know, you come back to a place like this,
like U and D special because of the people. There's
so many people that live and die and support this place.
And you know, it's just in the fabric of not
only Grand Forks, but the Red River Valley, the entire
area and the entire state. So I'm excited and understand that.
Hey man, we it's a lot of people that have
(33:31):
a lot of pride in this place, and you know
they're going to get our very best every single day
that we get up and and you know, try to
get this place back on top.
Speaker 1 (33:39):
Eric Schmid, our brand new U and D head football coach,
I know we've got to bounce to a couple of
the other stations here. I'll hit you with two questions
I want to get. Not that I'm throwing money down,
but we need to know and we can say spoiler
alert right now, there's four teams loft. Who wins the
FCS this year. That's a great question.
Speaker 9 (33:54):
I mean, it's honestly like and I think it can
be any one of the four off of it, you know, obviously,
uh you know, the home games matter. I feel like
at this time of year, like home field advantage is big.
So uh so you got to look at at the
teams that are hosting. But it's you know, you get
off to a bad start, get getting a bad you know,
situation off of it, like everybody plays good defense of
the teams that are left here and uh, and it
(34:16):
should be a fun weekend, you know, I mean not
only in the FCS playoffs, but also in the in
the college football playoff you know, I mean taking off
this weekend too as well.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
So it'll be a fun football weekend, all right, So
don't put money down. That's what I'm taking out of
that question of the day today. Non football related, but
still hard hitting this time of year. Christmas movies the
one you've seen the most and if you can declare
one you've ben say is overrated. Oh it's Diehard a
Christmas it is, I'm gonna say die Hard man.
Speaker 9 (34:42):
The reruns of die Hard is my My wife does
not like when that comes on, you know, I mean
during the year. So and then probably home alone, right,
I got, I got, I got you know, middle aged children,
I guess now we're or uh, you know, middle schoolers
and uh and upper elementary schools, so they still home alone,
are still still a hit at the house.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
So it'd be between those two, the old the.
Speaker 9 (35:03):
Older generation, my generation. We gotta go die hard, right,
and then the younger kids will be home alone.
Speaker 1 (35:08):
That came off here your tongue right away. I think
it just became best friends. Awesome the Fortune music station
on a snowy day, Trevity and I am blessed with
the one they call Grace helping me out for a
minute here this morning.
Speaker 3 (35:21):
Good morning, Good morning to you.
Speaker 1 (35:24):
I'm making it through your.
Speaker 3 (35:25):
East side tough, I am, but my car isn't.
Speaker 10 (35:28):
It's a little too small, so I almost got stuck
multiple times this morning. I was kind of hoping I
would though, then I wouldn't have to come in.
Speaker 3 (35:37):
Just kidding. I love being here.
Speaker 1 (35:40):
Could it get more exciting than coming to work? I
don't know.
Speaker 3 (35:42):
No, No, you're making my day too.
Speaker 1 (35:48):
I opened the door. Great.
Speaker 3 (35:54):
Yeah, did you see me fall out there this morning?
Speaker 1 (35:56):
No? I didn't.
Speaker 3 (35:57):
No, I'm just kidding.
Speaker 1 (35:58):
Homework.
Speaker 3 (35:58):
That would have been funny, though.
Speaker 1 (36:00):
It would be really funny if you made it through
the snow out sign then you fell in insign the hallway.
Speaker 3 (36:04):
Yeah, as soon as I get into my car.
Speaker 1 (36:06):
That's so you know, you're truly a winter person where
you can't function walking on carpet.
Speaker 3 (36:11):
Yeah, that's true. You need the snow underneath you.
Speaker 1 (36:15):
Think about this for a minute, the drink you will
be consuming the most during this holiday season. Think about
your answer. Here, we're going to get into the story.
One more thing. We're going to go ninety three minutes

Speaker 1 (38:12):
What station has the most groceries to either give to
people like you or feel free to give them to
somebody who could really use them this time of year?
Guaranteed grace, you answered the question of the day. If
you don't mind, I'm nice. You got to snap orders
at you answer my question. I would love to Christmas movies.
You've had a lot of fewer years of watching Christmas
(38:33):
movies than I have. But Christmas movie you would think
you watched the most most and then if there's one
you'd say is overrated.
Speaker 3 (38:40):
Watch the most. I would have to say, elf easily
got your number one. Yeah, respectable, Yeah, that's a good one.
Speaker 1 (38:49):
You know to go to New York for the world's
best content.
Speaker 10 (38:52):
Yeah, that's true. I've never been. I would love seeing
the vine. And then most overrated.
Speaker 1 (39:00):
Gosh, maybe going to New York would finally make me
a coffee drinker if I tried the world's best.
Speaker 3 (39:04):
You're not.
Speaker 1 (39:06):
Not my bag.
Speaker 3 (39:08):
You get up at like three in the morning, and
you're not a coffee drinker.
Speaker 1 (39:11):
Even the coffee shops aren't open when I get up.
Speaker 10 (39:14):
That's true. Most overrated home alone. That's a really like
bad answer.
Speaker 3 (39:21):
But I can't really think of another one.
Speaker 1 (39:23):
It's all subjective. Yeah, just number one, I think though.
The most voted overrated so far has been Christmas Story.
Speaker 3 (39:30):
Oh, oh my gosh, that one I.
Speaker 1 (39:33):
Changed my change your answer. It's funny we still quote
those movies.
Speaker 10 (39:38):
Yeah, that's the one you turn the TV on like cable,
and that's the one just on repeat the entire month.
Speaker 1 (39:45):
I don't know if they still do it. And it
was TBS or TNT or maybe both of them. Black
Friday put it on repeat for twenty four hours.
Speaker 3 (39:54):
Yep, that's awful.
Speaker 1 (39:55):
And you're right. If you flick channels right now, we
find it. Yeah, for sure, all right, we can still
be friends.
Speaker 3 (40:02):
Yeah, what's yours.
Speaker 1 (40:03):
We'll get to die Hard eventually. Oh, I believe you've
never seen it.
Speaker 3 (40:07):
I was going to say that.
Speaker 1 (40:08):
I was hoping we do that for a Christmas party.
There's still time.
Speaker 10 (40:12):
The new movie on Netflix, carry On. Everyone's comparing it
to die Hard. You need to watch it on Yeah,
well carry on like a carry on that you bring
on a plane. Yeah, you got to watch it. Will
I'll watch die Harden.
Speaker 3 (40:26):
You watch carry On?
Speaker 1 (40:27):
I want to watch you watch die Hard? Is that creepy?
Speaker 3 (40:32):
Just stare out?
Speaker 1 (40:33):
You're watching Bruce Willis on a big screen for rent
out a projector or something.
Speaker 10 (40:40):
Maybe that's the most overrated movie die Hard at here.
Speaker 1 (40:47):
As we say in the radio business, now don't go anywhere.
I need a friend for a minute. A new poll
asks people what they use for a when it comes
to the holiday beverage season. Do you rely on the alcohol?
Are you leaning on booze to get through the next
few weeks? Newpole found more of us ron digging the
(41:08):
holidays this year. Forty eight percent of Americans don't plan
to drink or smoke anything during the holidays.
Speaker 10 (41:13):
Almost half wow not hearing credit not in this part
of the world.
Speaker 3 (41:19):
We're in a different dimension.
Speaker 1 (41:20):
You might be four point eight percent. Well, we've got
to deal with this winter nonsense for sometimes five months exactly.
I didn't think I enough to use the snowblower. I
don't know why I thought that. This year, it's up
from forty two percent, same question asked two years ago.
Just eleven percent plan to do both drink and smoke,
down from thirteen percent. But for people who don't plan
to be sober this month, the top things were drinking.
(41:42):
People asked what will you drink the most this holiday season?
What would your answer be, as in, don't rigulated? Yep,
it's got to be on this top five list somewhere.
Speaker 3 (41:54):
Maybe like a glass of wine.
Speaker 1 (41:57):
You're very prestigious like that, even though you come from
mea side.
Speaker 3 (42:02):
Yeah, it can't be too prestigious there.
Speaker 1 (42:05):
Twenty one percent going with the wine. Eggnog nineteen percent.
Speaker 3 (42:09):
Do you like eggnog?
Speaker 1 (42:10):
It makes delicious pancakes. That's what I keep telling everybody.
I use that instead of the milk manis.
Speaker 3 (42:16):
I'll try that.
Speaker 1 (42:17):
That's baking soda. You can fluff them up nicely. I'd say,
invite me over to egg pancakes. But that's even weirder
than than I watched. The hard mixed drinks. Seventeen percent
will dabble straight liquor, ten percent not messing around at all.
Only six percent said sign or spiked seltzer, five percent
going champagne, but the number one answer hello bush lattes,
(42:39):
twenty two percent going with beer.
Speaker 3 (42:41):
Huh.
Speaker 1 (42:42):
Eggnog though third most popular holiday drink.
Speaker 3 (42:45):
Crazy. I didn't know people liked it that much.
Speaker 1 (42:49):
You just don't tell anybody because then you take heat
for it. It's like you're telling people I like fruitcake.
Speaker 3 (42:53):
It kind of tastes like bubblegum. Is that a hot
take eggnog?
Speaker 1 (42:58):
I could see that there's different flavors of too. For
the pancakes. If you can find the cinnamon or vanilla kind,
that makes it even better. Yeah, but you can add
cinnamon and vanilla. It's your pancakes. But once again, I
won't come up in your kitchen and make pancakes.
Speaker 3 (43:10):
Leave me alone.
Speaker 1 (43:12):
I am gonna be I have to stay within fifty
feet of you. In twenty twenty five, we keep talking
like this, HR hopefully not listening on the iHeartRadio apps today. Well, Grace,
I know you have adult things to do. You've got
radio to sell today, so thanks for spending some minutes.
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Merry.
Speaker 3 (43:29):
New Year, Mary New Year.

and I don't hear no one saying anything about that.
