We can do a dinner in a movie option. I've
got a gift card to a Palm Beach ten for you.
A couple fridays at the race is left to go,
So winning on the way. Letting you plan a concert,
a big concert for the area coming up. We'll get
into it, but first things first, let's catch up TV,
(03:04):
the entertainment world and whatever.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Here's what you missed on EXCEL ninety three.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Using the term highlights, I used that very loosely. But
the NBC affiliate in Philadelphia interviewed Dave felt Well and
his son Lincoln. You may have caught this on the news,
getting the home run ball then having to give it
to the woman. Now dubbed Philly's Karen.
Speaker 5 (03:32):
As soon as it cracked off the bat, it was
starting to head our way a little bit. It fell
and kind of bubbled between the two armrests, and I
picked it up, and I just walked away and held
the ball up high and put it in Lincoln's glove.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
And then she showed up.
Speaker 5 (03:44):
As she reached from my arm she just yelled in
my ear, that's my ball, like super loud.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
I jumped out of my skin. Then she's like, those
are from our seats. I said, there was nobody in
that seat. I pretty much just wanted her to go
away and be dad and.
Speaker 5 (03:58):
Show him how to de escalate uit situation.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
So let's where I went.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
I wasn't very happy that let's give it to her,
but we can't win.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
She was gonna get it anyways, thought she was going
to The ball landed in some vacant seats. The usual
group tried to get it, but a man nabbed it,
walked back to a seat, gave it to his son.
While he was hugging his son, a lady came over
and screamed in his face, that's my ball. I'm not
going to do the screen. But Dan took it from
(04:26):
the boy and handed it to the irate woman. There
are sports centers Nicole Briscow and Michael Evans going off
on the lady. The man grabs the ball. He's walking
it over to his son. Oh, she went after him.
What she made it?
Speaker 6 (04:39):
She is big, met like he went into her space
to get it. She goes on and on not and
the dad immediately is like, well, okay, if it means
that much to you, He takes the ball from his
kid's love and goes here, you can have it.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Really, lady, he needs to call her a Karen.
Speaker 6 (04:57):
The Marlins they went out to the cake. They gave
him like all of the goodies to release it.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Awesome, make her feel terrible.
Speaker 6 (05:06):
Yes, please make her feel terrible because here's the thing.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
You took it from a kid. And then wait, this
is the best part.
Speaker 5 (05:12):
Harrison Vader.
Speaker 6 (05:13):
Yes, gave him up and assigned Paul and they met afterwards.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
That is how you treat kids. Yep. Phillies outfielder Harrison
Bader made it a point to go meet with a
kid and his family to gift him the autograph. Bath
and Marlins ended up giving a family a cool prize
pack full of goodies too. So I like to think
our take from this story is for one awful person
like this lady, there are more good people that can
make it better and make up for it.
Speaker 7 (05:40):
All.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Right, here's what you missed highlight from the last Well, really,
that story developing going into and over the weight CAATs
more better people than bad people. That's my take. Let's
get into our question of the day today. I'm lending
you planned concerts. You've got the power. You can bring
anyone to town, no matter how a list they are,
or we're bring them back, bring them back to life.
(06:04):
I don't care. You can bring any concert to town.
Who's the headliner, who's the opener? We're gonna do some
choose you own adventure winning next, Foletia says, imagine bringing
Queen back with Freddy leading the vocals right here, opening
act Panic at the disco because Brendon Ury's got those
high notes on lock. That would be amazing. It'd be
a glam rock paradise in our own backyard. I literally
(06:26):
grow a mustache just on a Freddy for the night.
Get your first hot dog or drink half off if
you'd come in with a mustache, wouldn't that be amazing.
I know we could bring Queen here with Adam Lambert
as lead vocalist. But imagine if you could bring Freddie
Mercury back good Starts. You could do any concent You
(06:49):
can book any concert. Who are we booking? Choose your
own adventure winning including Cole Swindell and lead price concert
tickets going out next. Marina says disturbed or God's Man.
You can pick them both. You're allowed to pick two here.
Some roles from my little game were playing do you
have your own rock fest? And they could be from
(07:10):
totally complete different genres. Feel free to elaborate to like
something you would never see. I know people like the new,
the old, the rock, the R and B, the rap,
the light rock. You can make fun little combo here today.
This is tough. This is tougher night. I thought it
was going to be when I thought of this question
of the day today. You can bring any concert to town.
(07:33):
Who's the headliner? Who opens? Excel ntty three? Hello, well,
hey radio station, this would be Trevor excel NTTY three.
What can I do for you?
Speaker 7 (07:48):
I was calling because someone on the radio told me
I could call in and maybe win something.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
It was me. Ohyay, I was the one who had
the audacity. What's your name? I guess I'm Lisa. Lisa.
Let me ask you my question of the day. You've
got the power. Money's not an issue here. You can
bring any concert to town. Who's the headliner, who's opening
the show? Okay? Anyone general alive even we're all bets off.
Speaker 7 (08:18):
Okay, hold on, ash. I want to say something for
my daughter, but I know that sounds.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
Cheesy, but my daughter I picked.
Speaker 7 (08:25):
I picked that Descendants concert that's only in Texas right now,
to be here for my daughter and me and for
me maybe somebody more hardcore like Marilyn Manson or something.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Interesting. Maybe, I mean, what was the first one? There's
a Descendants tour. It's a kid thing, gotcha? Well, maybe
it's like a Together tour that's first, and then Marilyn
Manson's next. Yeah, that would be cool. Never been done
and it's one of a kind things coming to grant
(08:59):
for well done, Lisa. Let me get your Rambus Guys
gift card and choice two. I can get your passes
to a movie at River Cinema or a couple fridays
to go at River City Speedway.
Speaker 7 (09:10):
If you want to go to the races, well, I
will do the cinema ticket.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
I'm going to send you off the old theater. Oh wonderful,
Thank you, Lisa. What Station's proud to be a Rambus
and River cinema connection. As we roll ninety three minutes
commercial Free Excel ninety three, Zo Excel ninety three. I
want you have the power to bring anybody to the
area for a concert. Budget not an issue. It doesn't
(09:37):
matter how big or small they are. We're bring people
back to life if you want. Let's be creative here today.
You've got the power. Jijona Adventure winning including Cole Swindel,
the Bryce concert tickets your chance to win coming up
two minute warning right now. Brandy says, I'd orchestrate to
come back of the Beatles with a holographic Lenon and
(09:58):
Harrison opening for them, Tammy and Paula, because, let's face it,
Kevin Parker is the spiritual descendant of the psychedelic Phase.
I'd be a mind melting blend of the past and present.
You need to wear a tie die just to get in.
There should be more dress code fun little things like
(10:20):
that for concerts. Props to Sabrina Carpenter. I know this
is a little bit of a tangent, but she's made
an example of locking up her cell phone going to shows,
and it has worked where there are less people holding
up their phones and looking at the phones the whole
darn concert instead of enjoying the show. Sure, I mean,
in the moment, you might want to take a pick
(10:41):
or two, or a quick however many second clip of
something so you remember it. But there's concert footage of
every single concert that's ever existed in the atube. Put
your phones away, says Sabrina Carpenter. I agree with you, Sabrina.
I'm listening on the iHeartRadio app today. You bring any
concert to town? Who do you pay cash? You're going
(11:02):
jelly Roll, Baby, let's struggle. Jennings open for him. Jelly
Roll's been to the area, but not two Grand Forks
to my knowledge, right, he's been to Fargo, min not
know to go to state fairs. Have we fest? I
like this one from Julie jelly Roll opens for Shinedown.
I don't care who opens for who. I would love
to see Shine Down live. They're great, love their songs
(11:26):
and who doesn't love mister Rowle. I'll admit I was
late to the party on Shinedown, Jessica just says Kevin Gates.
Bring Kevin Gates here, Okay, Terry going, Morgan Wallen, Priscilla
Block for the opener? Who are we bringing to town?
You can do whatever you'll want right now. My easy
(11:49):
answer is going to be Taylor swift ed Sharon. That
actually happened. Fargano was I wasn't at that show. Taylor
was kind of a big deal. Edge Sharon was just
up and coming, so he opened for Taylor at the time.
Missed that shell. Excel Nutty three. Trending coming up next,
So weird the term clock botching just nobody agrees what
(12:11):
it means, and it's it's very different. But we'll talk
about clock botching because it's trending. Next. Excel Nuty three.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
You guys got to wait at the corner.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
Well, hey, hey, who's this, Oh James, James. You can
bring any concert to town. Who's your headliner? Who's your opener? Well,
I gotta go super mainstream. Of course. You gotta bring
Drake to grand Forth never been to North Dakota and
then uh Milato, Drake and Lotto. That's interesting. You didn't
(12:44):
say you said Drake, not Dre, right after Drake and Lotto. Yeah,
that's that's my odd combo. Maybe we do it Drey
and Taylor Swift show you have a good beat. I'd
like to do just kind of a weird combo that
you'd never see unless it's something amazing like the iHeartRadio
Music Festival where you've got all the genres represented. But
(13:05):
if you can only pick two, Drizzy Drake, I will
appreciate your Canadian contents. Pick just for you, James, what
do you want to do here? I can get you
to Cole Swindell at the eleven Center of September twenty seventh,
Lee Bryce Shields Arena the same night, River Cinema with
a gift card to a Little Bangkok or River City Speedway.
(13:28):
You can pick that option too, or gift card to
Palm Beach ten Talk to me, We're a little cold.
Sound fantastic? You sound fired up for missy Cole Swindell. Yeah,
the daughter would love it. Well, let's please your daughter.
Cole Swindell coming here for Trevor's birth day. Very nice
one to pick the date you and or maybe you
(13:49):
just send your daughter and somebody to go with I
don't know if you know your family, Dave's what station's
proud of you, your counsel connection.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
Occasion, and I'm not trending testag trending on excell Leddy three.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Go through the story and thought, yeah, it kind of
makes sense, and then it didn't. We really need more
terms like this first things first, just like people can't
even agree on what this new one means. Have you
heard of the term. It's called clock batching clock watching now.
A writer in the UK coined it last month, and
(14:28):
it means one of two things, or maybe both. Borbes
describes it as when you look busy but aren't actually
producing meaningful results, so you're stretching small tasks into entire afternoons.
Makes sense. Clock watching, I'm okay with that at this point.
Makes it sound intentional and you're just trying to run
(14:48):
up the clock each day and not getting much done,
so then you don't get a sign more works. But
we've already got terms for that, like task masking and boductivity,
a faux boductivity. Now, the original definition of clockwatching is different.
The writer who coin clockwatching said it's when workers end
up doing more hours than they're paid for not out
(15:10):
of ambition, but because they can't get through their workload
in time. I'm sure you guys know what that's like.
Justice as clockfochers are usually the first one in the
office and the last one to leave, so that makes
it sound not intentional. There's just so much on their
plate that they're not very organized, or they're not very organized.
Maybe it's combination. I mean that one sounds like you're
(15:32):
a harder worker clockbotcher than one making it look like
you're busy and just stretching doing your puzzles at work.
You know. A writer for ink dot com IMC dot
com confused things even more though by saying it's an
aggressive form of clock watching when you're counting the minutes
before you leave work. Perhaps it's all the above, but
(15:53):
whatever it means, they all agree it's a serious problem
in twenty twenty five, caused by burnout and people feeling
less engaged overall. Perhaps just an idea here, all these
writers are just flubbing facts while sprinting to get clicks.
Maybe perhaps, in fact, how about we coin the new
term clickbatching clockbotching, though nobody agrees what it means right
(16:15):
in The UK coined it last month, said it's when
you work more hours than you should because you can't
get through all your work. Writer Forbes defined it's when
you're stretching small tasks into entire afternoons just to fill
your day and avoid working. Maybe you've done both in
the past. It's trending. I know it's confusing. It's clock botching.
Try to make sense of it if you will. At
axcelnety three dot com the Trivity page, bet.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
You didn't know random facts coming at you now, that's
Excel ntty.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
Three Our gamers ven you didn't know. Twenty nine percent
of male gamers prefer playing as female characters, particularly older
male players. Overall, forty eight percent of guys prefer playing
as males, and twenty two percent of no preference. I
don't game, I don't play a lot, but I always
(17:05):
just kind of went for the character looked the most
ridiculous man, woman, Monster. If I could pick Monster, I'd
pick Monster every time. Nine percent of female players prefer
playing its male characters, so then there's no real difference
based on age. Overall, seventy six percent of women prefer
playing as females and eleven percent. No reference gamer fact today.
(17:29):
All right, let's talk about lobsters. Betch to know out
of every two million lobsters, one is blue. One out
of every two million lobsters blue, One in thirty million
is a yellow orange color, and one in fifty million
is dual colored split down the middle, and one in
one hundred million is white or translucent. I blow your mind.
(17:50):
If you got an invisible lobster on your plate, stole
there translucent? I can see through it. Betch didn't know,
I pull lovers. If you wanted to buy the parts
in an iPhone back in nineteen ninety one, it would
have costed approximately twelve point six six million dollars. And
that's not even including the camera of the screen. You
(18:12):
think you're the I think they're expensive now it could
be worse. How does this sound for a miserable flight?
Bets didn't know? The world record for most people on
a commercial flight is one thousand and eighty eight people.
That number also included two babies born on the flight
take about forty two hours just to board that section
(18:34):
nineteen y're next. L Al Airlines helped evacuate Ethiopian Jews
in nineteen ninety one. And flew them to Israel, and
they fit that many people by removing all the seats,
so don't even get a seat one thousand eighty eight people.
I'm glad that's not like a normal airline flight. Though.
Finally the bench did know it takes twenty seven thousand
(18:57):
trees to make all the toilet paper in the world
that we go through in one day. Twenty seven thousand trees.
If you expend that out, it's nine point eight million
trees per year for toilet paper. Now you know I
want to plant a few more trees, especially next time
there's a toilet paper shortage. Let me put it this way.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
You're Monday morning, more on a war has or on
an Excel ninety three.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Well, nothing works up an appetite for some deliciousness. Then
a little bit of larceny. Two women from Connecticut, Lacey, massachusets.
I'm in Connecticut, thirty eight year old Dominique Marion a
twenty four year old Daniel Williams accused of stealing more
than two thousand dollars worth of clothes from a TJ Max.
(19:46):
Now what happened in Massachusetts? They're from Connecticut. A few
weeks back and the police didn't have trouble tracking them
down either. They were spotted a few minutes later in
a Wendy's drive thru across the street. Didn't even get
out of the parking lot. I know square Hamburgers are delicious.
(20:07):
The local police department said the officer who found them
was no stranger to the Wendy's drive through, and when
they were caught, the women traded in their Cowbo meals
for a pair of hancuffs. The stolen clothes were in
the car, and the comps also uncovered a large amount
of additional items believed to have been stolen from the
other areas stores. Both women, charge with larceny and conspiracy
(20:29):
should be banned from well, Wendy's for Life, I don't
know stores, TJ Max for life stores in general. Two
MMO from Massachusetts stolen more than two grand worth of
cloths from TJ Max. They would have gotten away with it,
but we're counting and Wendy's drive through next door charged
with larceny and conspiracy. Thirty eight year old Dominique Marion
(20:49):
and twenty four year old Tanya Williams will end up
with the Monday Morning More On Award First time we've
taken a little trip to the state of Connecticut. Question
of the day we're putting the concert together. You can
pick anybody. Budget not an issue here. Who do you pick?
Who are we bringing to town? Really liking some of
(21:10):
these answers, Brittany is saying Opener's day Seeker not super familiar.
But I love the headliner falling in Reverse in shine Down.
That would be a great show. I think I mentioned
already today. I love shine Down all my life. Falling
in Reverse is a great song too. Good work, guys,
You guys are doing well. We're in this Minneapolis Monday
winning and maybe some Cole Swindell or Lee Bryce concert
(21:33):
winning eight thirty five will play What in the world
are there more of coming up? Get three out of
five writes eight thirty five, and I will make you
a winner. Kai Backstrand, winner of American Ninja Warrior twenty
twenty five. Good day, my friend, Good morning. I need
(21:54):
to instantly make a connection here so we're friends. Because
someone as awesome as as you, I need to attach
myself to somebody as awesome as you. That's what I'm
trying to say right now. Congratulations on the big win.
Thank you American Ninja Warrior. Can we go back in
time a little bets, I know you're the ripe old age?
(22:16):
What eighteen right now? Nineteen nineteen? Yeah, nineteen, let's go
back just a little bit here. Doo doo, do do
do do do do? How old were you when you
decided this is pretty cool, this is something I would
like to try, I would like to do.
Speaker 4 (22:31):
Yeah, so it was back when I was seven or
eight years old. Is kind of when my family really
got into watching the show.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
It's kind of the coolest thing that's on TV all
summer line. Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (22:46):
So kind of from that point on is when I
really decided that I wanted to pursue this, at least
in competition, and I knew that competing on the show
was a realistic possibility. I just had to wait till
I was eligible. I was old enough to compete, and
lucky enough for me, they kept bumping that age bracket
down to when I was able to compete at just
(23:08):
fifteen years old.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
So when you were a kid, how would you like
practice and train for this? I don't know, if you
go to the local playground and put on a show
in front of everyone else.
Speaker 4 (23:19):
Yeah, So I feel like the biggest thing with ninja
is it's kind of hard to train for if you
don't have the right equipment. And so when I started,
there wasn't a whole lot of ninja gyms around. It
just wasn't a big thing at that time. And so
my dad actually built us a Ninja Warrior course in
(23:40):
our backyard. So we had a pretty pretty sizeable ninja
course set up in our backyard that my dad was
also training on to the point where he applied in
season seven and eight to compete on American Ninja Warrior,
and he was able to compete, making it to the
semi finals both those years, and from that point on.
After his his season eight run, we came back and
(24:03):
kind of expanded upon that course in our backyard until
it was taken up our entire backyard.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
I thought nothing could be cooler to have in your
backyard than a swimming pool, but I guess you guys
proved me wrong there.
Speaker 4 (24:18):
Yeah, so we have our whole backyard was enveloped in
our ninja course and training on it was a great experience.
But we have since opened up two Ninja gyms, two
locations here in Saint George, Utah, and we have also
tore down our backyard course and put in a pool,
(24:39):
so we kind of had the best of both worlds
as well as now having the ninja gyms to train
in which our air conditioned, which makes a huge difference.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
Now you don't even need to be a certified ninja
to have with just boatloads of friends, with a ninja
course and a pool.
Speaker 4 (24:55):
Yeah, yeah, definitely helped.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
So when you got the call we want you to
come to the show, how long went by before you
got the phone call till we sign you on TV.
Speaker 4 (25:13):
Just for this last season?
Speaker 1 (25:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (25:16):
Yeah, So I got the call to compete on season seventeen,
and then it was probably about a month and a
half maybe two months before they started filming for this season.
And then after filming, they filmed this back in September
of twenty four, so September to October, and now they're
(25:38):
just now hearing it, so almost a year since they
filmed it until it was actually televised.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
So anything you did on the show, I'm visiting right
now with the winner of American Ninja Warrior twenty twenty
five tied backstrat anything you do on the show or
anything you did on the show that really really hurt.
Speaker 4 (26:01):
Anything that hurts I think physically would just be the
amount of time spent on the courses. It's definitely taxing
on the body and the joints, especially my knees and shoulders.
So I feel like as far as competing on the show,
that's really the only thing that's ever hurt me physically
but mentally, was probably back on my first and second
(26:28):
season of American Ninja Warrior, where I had made it
to stage two my first year, and I went out
on obstacle one of stage two, so will heartbreaking, especially
coming off my rookie year doing as well as I had.
To go out as early as I did on that
course was a little bittersweet. So coming back in season fifteen,
(26:50):
I kind of wanted to go a little bit farther,
push it a little bit harder, and I knew I
could go all the way, and unfortunately took it a
little bit too quick and went out on the jumping
spider on stage one, so I ended up in the
water earlier than I had expected. And then coming back
on season sixteen, I definitely had a chip on my
shoulder coming into it and was able to make it
(27:13):
all the way to the top of Mountmadora on on
the top of that stage, four eighty foot rope climb.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
Chip on my shoulders watching the show, and it's like
a lace potato chip on my shoulder. And I think
I got hurt more watching the show than you do
in the show. I slipped off the couch. I was
on the edge of the couch, slipped tailbone right to
the floor. I still feel it talking about it. Things
hurt a lot more when you get older. Just remember that.
(27:40):
Oh I can imagine, did you have an inspiration like
an action hero on TV, maybe a movie figure that
inspired you to want to be an American Ninja Warrior.
Speaker 7 (27:54):
I think the.
Speaker 4 (27:55):
Biggest inspiration for me was just my dad competing on
the show that I look up to and you just
kind of mad into every aspect of life. And to
see him compete, especially where we were able to travel
to the set and watch him live competing, was just
super super great experience and kind of from that point on,
(28:19):
I knew that I wanted to be in that same
position as well.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
Kai Bankstrand, winner of Season seventeen America is American Ninja
Warrior on NBC. I guess your Dad's kind of like
living with Bruce Wallis. You've got that at home already.
I'm guessing that the dating life is easier with being
a certified I mean ninja and warrior.
Speaker 4 (28:45):
Now, oh yeah, I mean I'm currently engaged, so I'm
not gooding for you enough. So but yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
It's amazing. I mean when I was nineteen, I in fact,
I look down right now, I have slip on shoes.
My life still not together. It sounds like you're a
lot more life together than I am at the age
of nineteen.
Speaker 4 (29:07):
Well, I try, I try my best.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
All right, Ninja question for all the other potential ninjas
out there, what is the certified ninja weapon of choice?
If you had to pick.
Speaker 4 (29:17):
One, I think the weapon of choice has got to
be a kaitana.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
I thought it would be a good old fashioned throwing star.
But that's why you're you interesting choice.
Speaker 4 (29:31):
Yeah, I mean that would make a lot more sense.
You can kind of attack from.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
A distance, but that's exactly what the enemy would think
you've got though you're surprising them the other way.
Speaker 4 (29:41):
Yeah, yep, kind of get a close on them, probably
not expecting that kind of has some close range combat.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
One more ninja related question. Now that you have won,
how many how many more days will it be till
you get to meet Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello and Raphael, the
greatest ninjas that I've ever known, the Ninja Turtles.
Speaker 4 (30:04):
Hopefully not too long, honestly.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
Thank you guys. Do you still eat pizza? I'm sure
you do. You're a nineteen year old dude. Yeah, Guy Bagstram,
Congratulations American Ninja Warrior twenty twenty five Champs, Season seventeen

salt from creating FM radio. I understand you're pretty funny
as a DJ.

The Trever d in the Morning Show six to ten
weekday mornings. Excel nuety three, Excel nightty.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
Three, Good morning. Well Hey, who is this Diane? Question
of the day today? You can bring any concert to town.
Who's your headliner? Who's your opener? Oh? My god, doesn't
have to even make sense. They don't even need to
be alive. Alviusy oh wow, We're going way back and
(31:10):
share and share the share has been here. That would
be interesting. Very well, Diane, are you interested in playing
my game today? What in the world are there more of? Yes?
Speaker 4 (31:23):
I am.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
Are we playing four tickets to Cole Swindell September twenty seventh,
Leveris Center, Lee Bryce September twenty seventh, Shields Arena, Passes,
the Nickelodeon, universal'st Mountain Aventure Golf, and Crale experience in
all of America, Minneapolis and all of America. Excellent, three
out of five. Right, you're a winner. What in the
(31:45):
world are there more of? Here we go Netflix subscribers
versus Disney plus Netflix over two hundred and sixty million
versus Disney's one hundred and fifty million. You are correct,
that's a good start. Bananas or apples consumed yearly? Apple?
(32:08):
I would go apples too, but the answer is bananas.
Over one hundred billion bananas and eighty six billion apples.
I think I read something that bananas are Walmart's number
one most sold anything. Okay, okay, that's okay, you need
two more, right, we have three more chances? Light bulbs
or electrical outlets in your house? What are there more of?
Speaker 7 (32:33):
Electrical outlets?
Speaker 1 (32:36):
Outlets? Especially with tech everywhere, is the right answer, Let's
say twenty years ago, It's probably the other way around,
all right, Diane, you need one more right? Email addresses
or social media accounts? What are there more of? Say
(32:57):
that again? Email addresses are social media accounts? Social media
account that would have been my guest. But it's email
addresses most people have several. Forget about that. Yeah, okay,
we need the last one. Passwords or people? What are
there more of passwords? That is correct? Because we've all
(33:21):
got about five, ten, fifteen. Don't you wish it was
up to us to change the password? I do, and
then you can't use one you used in the past.
And passwords has got you to Minneapolis? Diane? Who passes
the Nickelodeon Universe most Mountain Adventure, golf Creole Experience, a
fun family adventure? What station has the most passwords? And
(33:45):
free stuff to give away? In Minneapolis? Monday guaranteed Excel.
Speaker 2 (33:49):

one more time, one more more.

Well.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
The twenty twenty five MTV Video Music Awards kicked out
of the bang last night thanks to the sexophonic stylings
of Kenny g G, of course stands for Kenny Gorgeous.
It's the Ladies column. Kenny G was the first performer
to hit the VMA stage in twenty twenty five, but
(34:20):
only because he was part of Doja Cat's performance. Another
highlight was the I know maybe they were doing dinner
music people weren't done eating yet. Another highlights was the
tribute Dazzy Osbourne featuring Young Blood guitarist Nuno Bettencourt and
Stephen Tyler and Joe Perry from Arrowsmith. Other performers included
(34:41):
screen To Carpenter, j Balvin, Alex Warren, Buster Rhymes, Conan Gray,
Post Malone with Jelly Roll and video Van Guard Award
recipient Mariah Carey and her acceptance speech, Maria asked MTV quote,
what in the Sam Hill took you so long? Since
this was her first moon Man, but it was technically
(35:03):
or second because earlier in the night she won Best
R and B Video for Type Dangerous Lady Guy Guy's
performance of Average Daber and Dead Dance was pre tape
because she had a show across town at Madison Square Garden,
but she did attend the VMA's long enough to accept
the trophy for Artists of the Year. Ariana Grande had
a good Night, winning Video of the Year in Best
Pop Video for Brighter Days Ahead, Sprainded Carpenter, Best Pop
(35:26):
Artists and Best Album for Short in Sweets. All the
new music, I mean, yes, you've heard it here. I've
heard it here once or twice. All of these songs,
all the new music, though I don't think I've seen
any of the videos. Very cool what MTV did though, well,
First of all, Kenny g had opened the awards, but
about ten days prior to the show, flipping all their
(35:48):
channels to one pretty cool video stream of iconic videos
from eighties, nineties and artists giving their favorite videos of
all time. Comment, now you've got They're back to normal,
except for the classic MTV Classic Station, which I do
encourage you do tune in. It's a great background noise
(36:10):
at home, I feel. And there's these songs that I've
heard a thousand times. I've never seen the video for us.
Very interesting dangents on a Monday. But the Kenny g
are kicking out the VMAs last night, performing with Doja
cant Ariana Grande's Brighter Days Ahead, Best for the Own
Lady Go got Best artist. I'm a smart woman, I
just make bad choices. When it comes to men.
Speaker 3 (36:31):
You need the jerk alert, the handheld device that lets
you know the guy hitting on you is a jerk
you should not date. When the potential jerk approaches, activate
the jerk alert two seconds after he opens his mouth.
Speaker 1 (36:42):
The jerk alert will let you know, nice, he's a jerk.
Speaker 4 (36:46):
Throwing back.
Speaker 1 (36:46):
Try again and MBA you get lost.
Speaker 3 (36:51):
Wow, this is great, And if you ever do meet
a decent person, it'll let you know that too.
Speaker 1 (36:56):
Hellue, I'm a cardiologist looking for a stimulating equal to
be my lifeguard. Oh, thank you, jerk alert. The jerk alert.
Speaker 3 (37:05):
Just because he's a jerk doesn't mean you should be too.
Speaker 1 (37:08):
Oh hello, Universe now boarding first class, small children and
fat guys.

possible apocalyptic event. We are preparing to orbit the planet.

A couple fridays at the race is left to go,
So winning on the way. Letting you plan a concert,
a big concert for the area coming up. We'll get
into it, but first things first, let's catch up TV,
(03:04):
the entertainment world and whatever.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Here's what you missed on EXCEL ninety three.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Using the term highlights, I used that very loosely. But
the NBC affiliate in Philadelphia interviewed Dave felt Well and
his son Lincoln. You may have caught this on the news,
getting the home run ball then having to give it
to the woman. Now dubbed Philly's Karen.
Speaker 5 (03:32):
As soon as it cracked off the bat, it was
starting to head our way a little bit. It fell
and kind of bubbled between the two armrests, and I
picked it up, and I just walked away and held
the ball up high and put it in Lincoln's glove.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
And then she showed up.
Speaker 5 (03:44):
As she reached from my arm she just yelled in
my ear, that's my ball, like super loud.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
I jumped out of my skin. Then she's like, those
are from our seats. I said, there was nobody in
that seat. I pretty much just wanted her to go
away and be dad and.
Speaker 5 (03:58):
Show him how to de escalate uit situation.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
So let's where I went.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
I wasn't very happy that let's give it to her,
but we can't win.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
She was gonna get it anyways, thought she was going
to The ball landed in some vacant seats. The usual
group tried to get it, but a man nabbed it,
walked back to a seat, gave it to his son.
While he was hugging his son, a lady came over
and screamed in his face, that's my ball. I'm not
going to do the screen. But Dan took it from
(04:26):
the boy and handed it to the irate woman. There
are sports centers Nicole Briscow and Michael Evans going off
on the lady. The man grabs the ball. He's walking
it over to his son. Oh, she went after him.
What she made it?
Speaker 6 (04:39):
She is big, met like he went into her space
to get it. She goes on and on not and
the dad immediately is like, well, okay, if it means
that much to you, He takes the ball from his
kid's love and goes here, you can have it.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Really, lady, he needs to call her a Karen.
Speaker 6 (04:57):
The Marlins they went out to the cake. They gave
him like all of the goodies to release it.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Awesome, make her feel terrible.
Speaker 6 (05:06):
Yes, please make her feel terrible because here's the thing.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
You took it from a kid. And then wait, this
is the best part.
Speaker 5 (05:12):
Harrison Vader.
Speaker 6 (05:13):
Yes, gave him up and assigned Paul and they met afterwards.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
That is how you treat kids. Yep. Phillies outfielder Harrison
Bader made it a point to go meet with a
kid and his family to gift him the autograph. Bath
and Marlins ended up giving a family a cool prize
pack full of goodies too. So I like to think
our take from this story is for one awful person
like this lady, there are more good people that can
make it better and make up for it.
Speaker 7 (05:40):
All.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Right, here's what you missed highlight from the last Well, really,
that story developing going into and over the weight CAATs
more better people than bad people. That's my take. Let's
get into our question of the day today. I'm lending
you planned concerts. You've got the power. You can bring
anyone to town, no matter how a list they are,
or we're bring them back, bring them back to life.
(06:04):
I don't care. You can bring any concert to town.
Who's the headliner, who's the opener? We're gonna do some
choose you own adventure winning next, Foletia says, imagine bringing
Queen back with Freddy leading the vocals right here, opening
act Panic at the disco because Brendon Ury's got those
high notes on lock. That would be amazing. It'd be
a glam rock paradise in our own backyard. I literally
(06:26):
grow a mustache just on a Freddy for the night.
Get your first hot dog or drink half off if
you'd come in with a mustache, wouldn't that be amazing.
I know we could bring Queen here with Adam Lambert
as lead vocalist. But imagine if you could bring Freddie
Mercury back good Starts. You could do any concent You
(06:49):
can book any concert. Who are we booking? Choose your
own adventure winning including Cole Swindell and lead price concert
tickets going out next. Marina says disturbed or God's Man.
You can pick them both. You're allowed to pick two here.
Some roles from my little game were playing do you
have your own rock fest? And they could be from
(07:10):
totally complete different genres. Feel free to elaborate to like
something you would never see. I know people like the new,
the old, the rock, the R and B, the rap,
the light rock. You can make fun little combo here today.
This is tough. This is tougher night. I thought it
was going to be when I thought of this question
of the day today. You can bring any concert to town.
(07:33):
Who's the headliner? Who opens? Excel ntty three? Hello, well,
hey radio station, this would be Trevor excel NTTY three.
What can I do for you?
Speaker 7 (07:48):
I was calling because someone on the radio told me
I could call in and maybe win something.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
It was me. Ohyay, I was the one who had
the audacity. What's your name? I guess I'm Lisa. Lisa.
Let me ask you my question of the day. You've
got the power. Money's not an issue here. You can
bring any concert to town. Who's the headliner, who's opening
the show? Okay? Anyone general alive even we're all bets off.
Speaker 7 (08:18):
Okay, hold on, ash. I want to say something for
my daughter, but I know that sounds.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
Cheesy, but my daughter I picked.
Speaker 7 (08:25):
I picked that Descendants concert that's only in Texas right now,
to be here for my daughter and me and for
me maybe somebody more hardcore like Marilyn Manson or something.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Interesting. Maybe, I mean, what was the first one? There's
a Descendants tour. It's a kid thing, gotcha? Well, maybe
it's like a Together tour that's first, and then Marilyn
Manson's next. Yeah, that would be cool. Never been done
and it's one of a kind things coming to grant
(08:59):
for well done, Lisa. Let me get your Rambus Guys
gift card and choice two. I can get your passes
to a movie at River Cinema or a couple fridays
to go at River City Speedway.
Speaker 7 (09:10):
If you want to go to the races, well, I
will do the cinema ticket.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
I'm going to send you off the old theater. Oh wonderful,
Thank you, Lisa. What Station's proud to be a Rambus
and River cinema connection. As we roll ninety three minutes
commercial Free Excel ninety three, Zo Excel ninety three. I
want you have the power to bring anybody to the
area for a concert. Budget not an issue. It doesn't
(09:37):
matter how big or small they are. We're bring people
back to life if you want. Let's be creative here today.
You've got the power. Jijona Adventure winning including Cole Swindel,
the Bryce concert tickets your chance to win coming up
two minute warning right now. Brandy says, I'd orchestrate to
come back of the Beatles with a holographic Lenon and
(09:58):
Harrison opening for them, Tammy and Paula, because, let's face it,
Kevin Parker is the spiritual descendant of the psychedelic Phase.
I'd be a mind melting blend of the past and present.
You need to wear a tie die just to get in.
There should be more dress code fun little things like
(10:20):
that for concerts. Props to Sabrina Carpenter. I know this
is a little bit of a tangent, but she's made
an example of locking up her cell phone going to shows,
and it has worked where there are less people holding
up their phones and looking at the phones the whole
darn concert instead of enjoying the show. Sure, I mean,
in the moment, you might want to take a pick
(10:41):
or two, or a quick however many second clip of
something so you remember it. But there's concert footage of
every single concert that's ever existed in the atube. Put
your phones away, says Sabrina Carpenter. I agree with you, Sabrina.
I'm listening on the iHeartRadio app today. You bring any
concert to town? Who do you pay cash? You're going
(11:02):
jelly Roll, Baby, let's struggle. Jennings open for him. Jelly
Roll's been to the area, but not two Grand Forks
to my knowledge, right, he's been to Fargo, min not
know to go to state fairs. Have we fest? I
like this one from Julie jelly Roll opens for Shinedown.
I don't care who opens for who. I would love
to see Shine Down live. They're great, love their songs
(11:26):
and who doesn't love mister Rowle. I'll admit I was
late to the party on Shinedown, Jessica just says Kevin Gates.
Bring Kevin Gates here, Okay, Terry going, Morgan Wallen, Priscilla
Block for the opener? Who are we bringing to town?
You can do whatever you'll want right now. My easy
(11:49):
answer is going to be Taylor swift ed Sharon. That
actually happened. Fargano was I wasn't at that show. Taylor
was kind of a big deal. Edge Sharon was just
up and coming, so he opened for Taylor at the time.
Missed that shell. Excel Nutty three. Trending coming up next,
So weird the term clock botching just nobody agrees what
(12:11):
it means, and it's it's very different. But we'll talk
about clock botching because it's trending. Next. Excel Nuty three.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
You guys got to wait at the corner.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
Well, hey, hey, who's this, Oh James, James. You can
bring any concert to town. Who's your headliner? Who's your opener? Well,
I gotta go super mainstream. Of course. You gotta bring
Drake to grand Forth never been to North Dakota and
then uh Milato, Drake and Lotto. That's interesting. You didn't
(12:44):
say you said Drake, not Dre, right after Drake and Lotto. Yeah,
that's that's my odd combo. Maybe we do it Drey
and Taylor Swift show you have a good beat. I'd
like to do just kind of a weird combo that
you'd never see unless it's something amazing like the iHeartRadio
Music Festival where you've got all the genres represented. But
(13:05):
if you can only pick two, Drizzy Drake, I will
appreciate your Canadian contents. Pick just for you, James, what
do you want to do here? I can get you
to Cole Swindell at the eleven Center of September twenty seventh,
Lee Bryce Shields Arena the same night, River Cinema with
a gift card to a Little Bangkok or River City Speedway.
(13:28):
You can pick that option too, or gift card to
Palm Beach ten Talk to me, We're a little cold.
Sound fantastic? You sound fired up for missy Cole Swindell. Yeah,
the daughter would love it. Well, let's please your daughter.
Cole Swindell coming here for Trevor's birth day. Very nice
one to pick the date you and or maybe you
(13:49):
just send your daughter and somebody to go with I
don't know if you know your family, Dave's what station's
proud of you, your counsel connection.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
Occasion, and I'm not trending testag trending on excell Leddy three.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Go through the story and thought, yeah, it kind of
makes sense, and then it didn't. We really need more
terms like this first things first, just like people can't
even agree on what this new one means. Have you
heard of the term. It's called clock batching clock watching now.
A writer in the UK coined it last month, and
(14:28):
it means one of two things, or maybe both. Borbes
describes it as when you look busy but aren't actually
producing meaningful results, so you're stretching small tasks into entire afternoons.
Makes sense. Clock watching, I'm okay with that at this point.
Makes it sound intentional and you're just trying to run
(14:48):
up the clock each day and not getting much done,
so then you don't get a sign more works. But
we've already got terms for that, like task masking and boductivity,
a faux boductivity. Now, the original definition of clockwatching is different.
The writer who coin clockwatching said it's when workers end
up doing more hours than they're paid for not out
(15:10):
of ambition, but because they can't get through their workload
in time. I'm sure you guys know what that's like.
Justice as clockfochers are usually the first one in the
office and the last one to leave, so that makes
it sound not intentional. There's just so much on their
plate that they're not very organized, or they're not very organized.
Maybe it's combination. I mean that one sounds like you're
(15:32):
a harder worker clockbotcher than one making it look like
you're busy and just stretching doing your puzzles at work.
You know. A writer for ink dot com IMC dot
com confused things even more though by saying it's an
aggressive form of clock watching when you're counting the minutes
before you leave work. Perhaps it's all the above, but
(15:53):
whatever it means, they all agree it's a serious problem
in twenty twenty five, caused by burnout and people feeling
less engaged overall. Perhaps just an idea here, all these
writers are just flubbing facts while sprinting to get clicks.
Maybe perhaps, in fact, how about we coin the new
term clickbatching clockbotching, though nobody agrees what it means right
(16:15):
in The UK coined it last month, said it's when
you work more hours than you should because you can't
get through all your work. Writer Forbes defined it's when
you're stretching small tasks into entire afternoons just to fill
your day and avoid working. Maybe you've done both in
the past. It's trending. I know it's confusing. It's clock botching.
Try to make sense of it if you will. At
axcelnety three dot com the Trivity page, bet.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
You didn't know random facts coming at you now, that's
Excel ntty.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
Three Our gamers ven you didn't know. Twenty nine percent
of male gamers prefer playing as female characters, particularly older
male players. Overall, forty eight percent of guys prefer playing
as males, and twenty two percent of no preference. I
don't game, I don't play a lot, but I always
(17:05):
just kind of went for the character looked the most
ridiculous man, woman, Monster. If I could pick Monster, I'd
pick Monster every time. Nine percent of female players prefer
playing its male characters, so then there's no real difference
based on age. Overall, seventy six percent of women prefer
playing as females and eleven percent. No reference gamer fact today.
(17:29):
All right, let's talk about lobsters. Betch to know out
of every two million lobsters, one is blue. One out
of every two million lobsters blue, One in thirty million
is a yellow orange color, and one in fifty million
is dual colored split down the middle, and one in
one hundred million is white or translucent. I blow your mind.
(17:50):
If you got an invisible lobster on your plate, stole
there translucent? I can see through it. Betch didn't know,
I pull lovers. If you wanted to buy the parts
in an iPhone back in nineteen ninety one, it would
have costed approximately twelve point six six million dollars. And
that's not even including the camera of the screen. You
(18:12):
think you're the I think they're expensive now it could
be worse. How does this sound for a miserable flight?
Bets didn't know? The world record for most people on
a commercial flight is one thousand and eighty eight people.
That number also included two babies born on the flight
take about forty two hours just to board that section
(18:34):
nineteen y're next. L Al Airlines helped evacuate Ethiopian Jews
in nineteen ninety one. And flew them to Israel, and
they fit that many people by removing all the seats,
so don't even get a seat one thousand eighty eight people.
I'm glad that's not like a normal airline flight. Though.
Finally the bench did know it takes twenty seven thousand
(18:57):
trees to make all the toilet paper in the world
that we go through in one day. Twenty seven thousand trees.
If you expend that out, it's nine point eight million
trees per year for toilet paper. Now you know I
want to plant a few more trees, especially next time
there's a toilet paper shortage. Let me put it this way.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
You're Monday morning, more on a war has or on
an Excel ninety three.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Well, nothing works up an appetite for some deliciousness. Then
a little bit of larceny. Two women from Connecticut, Lacey, massachusets.
I'm in Connecticut, thirty eight year old Dominique Marion a
twenty four year old Daniel Williams accused of stealing more
than two thousand dollars worth of clothes from a TJ Max.
(19:46):
Now what happened in Massachusetts? They're from Connecticut. A few
weeks back and the police didn't have trouble tracking them
down either. They were spotted a few minutes later in
a Wendy's drive thru across the street. Didn't even get
out of the parking lot. I know square Hamburgers are delicious.
(20:07):
The local police department said the officer who found them
was no stranger to the Wendy's drive through, and when
they were caught, the women traded in their Cowbo meals
for a pair of hancuffs. The stolen clothes were in
the car, and the comps also uncovered a large amount
of additional items believed to have been stolen from the
other areas stores. Both women, charge with larceny and conspiracy
(20:29):
should be banned from well, Wendy's for Life, I don't
know stores, TJ Max for life stores in general. Two
MMO from Massachusetts stolen more than two grand worth of
cloths from TJ Max. They would have gotten away with it,
but we're counting and Wendy's drive through next door charged
with larceny and conspiracy. Thirty eight year old Dominique Marion
(20:49):
and twenty four year old Tanya Williams will end up
with the Monday Morning More On Award First time we've
taken a little trip to the state of Connecticut. Question
of the day we're putting the concert together. You can
pick anybody. Budget not an issue here. Who do you pick?
Who are we bringing to town? Really liking some of
(21:10):
these answers, Brittany is saying Opener's day Seeker not super familiar.
But I love the headliner falling in Reverse in shine Down.
That would be a great show. I think I mentioned
already today. I love shine Down all my life. Falling
in Reverse is a great song too. Good work, guys,
You guys are doing well. We're in this Minneapolis Monday
winning and maybe some Cole Swindell or Lee Bryce concert
(21:33):
winning eight thirty five will play What in the world
are there more of coming up? Get three out of
five writes eight thirty five, and I will make you
a winner. Kai Backstrand, winner of American Ninja Warrior twenty
twenty five. Good day, my friend, Good morning. I need
(21:54):
to instantly make a connection here so we're friends. Because
someone as awesome as as you, I need to attach
myself to somebody as awesome as you. That's what I'm
trying to say right now. Congratulations on the big win.
Thank you American Ninja Warrior. Can we go back in
time a little bets, I know you're the ripe old age?
(22:16):
What eighteen right now? Nineteen nineteen? Yeah, nineteen, let's go
back just a little bit here. Doo doo, do do
do do do do? How old were you when you
decided this is pretty cool, this is something I would
like to try, I would like to do.
Speaker 4 (22:31):
Yeah, so it was back when I was seven or
eight years old. Is kind of when my family really
got into watching the show.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
It's kind of the coolest thing that's on TV all
summer line. Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (22:46):
So kind of from that point on is when I
really decided that I wanted to pursue this, at least
in competition, and I knew that competing on the show
was a realistic possibility. I just had to wait till
I was eligible. I was old enough to compete, and
lucky enough for me, they kept bumping that age bracket
down to when I was able to compete at just
(23:08):
fifteen years old.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
So when you were a kid, how would you like
practice and train for this? I don't know, if you
go to the local playground and put on a show
in front of everyone else.
Speaker 4 (23:19):
Yeah, So I feel like the biggest thing with ninja
is it's kind of hard to train for if you
don't have the right equipment. And so when I started,
there wasn't a whole lot of ninja gyms around. It
just wasn't a big thing at that time. And so
my dad actually built us a Ninja Warrior course in
(23:40):
our backyard. So we had a pretty pretty sizeable ninja
course set up in our backyard that my dad was
also training on to the point where he applied in
season seven and eight to compete on American Ninja Warrior,
and he was able to compete, making it to the
semi finals both those years, and from that point on.
After his his season eight run, we came back and
(24:03):
kind of expanded upon that course in our backyard until
it was taken up our entire backyard.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
I thought nothing could be cooler to have in your
backyard than a swimming pool, but I guess you guys
proved me wrong there.
Speaker 4 (24:18):
Yeah, so we have our whole backyard was enveloped in
our ninja course and training on it was a great experience.
But we have since opened up two Ninja gyms, two
locations here in Saint George, Utah, and we have also
tore down our backyard course and put in a pool,
(24:39):
so we kind of had the best of both worlds
as well as now having the ninja gyms to train
in which our air conditioned, which makes a huge difference.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
Now you don't even need to be a certified ninja
to have with just boatloads of friends, with a ninja
course and a pool.
Speaker 4 (24:55):
Yeah, yeah, definitely helped.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
So when you got the call we want you to
come to the show, how long went by before you
got the phone call till we sign you on TV.
Speaker 4 (25:13):
Just for this last season?
Speaker 1 (25:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (25:16):
Yeah, So I got the call to compete on season seventeen,
and then it was probably about a month and a
half maybe two months before they started filming for this season.
And then after filming, they filmed this back in September
of twenty four, so September to October, and now they're
(25:38):
just now hearing it, so almost a year since they
filmed it until it was actually televised.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
So anything you did on the show, I'm visiting right
now with the winner of American Ninja Warrior twenty twenty
five tied backstrat anything you do on the show or
anything you did on the show that really really hurt.
Speaker 4 (26:01):
Anything that hurts I think physically would just be the
amount of time spent on the courses. It's definitely taxing
on the body and the joints, especially my knees and shoulders.
So I feel like as far as competing on the show,
that's really the only thing that's ever hurt me physically
but mentally, was probably back on my first and second
(26:28):
season of American Ninja Warrior, where I had made it
to stage two my first year, and I went out
on obstacle one of stage two, so will heartbreaking, especially
coming off my rookie year doing as well as I had.
To go out as early as I did on that
course was a little bittersweet. So coming back in season fifteen,
(26:50):
I kind of wanted to go a little bit farther,
push it a little bit harder, and I knew I
could go all the way, and unfortunately took it a
little bit too quick and went out on the jumping
spider on stage one, so I ended up in the
water earlier than I had expected. And then coming back
on season sixteen, I definitely had a chip on my
shoulder coming into it and was able to make it
(27:13):
all the way to the top of Mountmadora on on
the top of that stage, four eighty foot rope climb.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
Chip on my shoulders watching the show, and it's like
a lace potato chip on my shoulder. And I think
I got hurt more watching the show than you do
in the show. I slipped off the couch. I was
on the edge of the couch, slipped tailbone right to
the floor. I still feel it talking about it. Things
hurt a lot more when you get older. Just remember that.
(27:40):
Oh I can imagine, did you have an inspiration like
an action hero on TV, maybe a movie figure that
inspired you to want to be an American Ninja Warrior.
Speaker 7 (27:54):
I think the.
Speaker 4 (27:55):
Biggest inspiration for me was just my dad competing on
the show that I look up to and you just
kind of mad into every aspect of life. And to
see him compete, especially where we were able to travel
to the set and watch him live competing, was just
super super great experience and kind of from that point on,
(28:19):
I knew that I wanted to be in that same
position as well.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
Kai Bankstrand, winner of Season seventeen America is American Ninja
Warrior on NBC. I guess your Dad's kind of like
living with Bruce Wallis. You've got that at home already.
I'm guessing that the dating life is easier with being
a certified I mean ninja and warrior.
Speaker 4 (28:45):
Now, oh yeah, I mean I'm currently engaged, so I'm
not gooding for you enough. So but yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
It's amazing. I mean when I was nineteen, I in fact,
I look down right now, I have slip on shoes.
My life still not together. It sounds like you're a
lot more life together than I am at the age
of nineteen.
Speaker 4 (29:07):
Well, I try, I try my best.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
All right, Ninja question for all the other potential ninjas
out there, what is the certified ninja weapon of choice?
If you had to pick.
Speaker 4 (29:17):
One, I think the weapon of choice has got to
be a kaitana.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
I thought it would be a good old fashioned throwing star.
But that's why you're you interesting choice.
Speaker 4 (29:31):
Yeah, I mean that would make a lot more sense.
You can kind of attack from.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
A distance, but that's exactly what the enemy would think
you've got though you're surprising them the other way.
Speaker 4 (29:41):
Yeah, yep, kind of get a close on them, probably
not expecting that kind of has some close range combat.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
One more ninja related question. Now that you have won,
how many how many more days will it be till
you get to meet Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello and Raphael, the
greatest ninjas that I've ever known, the Ninja Turtles.
Speaker 4 (30:04):
Hopefully not too long, honestly.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
Thank you guys. Do you still eat pizza? I'm sure
you do. You're a nineteen year old dude. Yeah, Guy Bagstram,
Congratulations American Ninja Warrior twenty twenty five Champs, Season seventeen

Thank you. Have a great day, you too. I discovered
salt from creating FM radio. I understand you're pretty funny
as a DJ.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
The Trever d in the Morning Show six to ten
weekday mornings. Excel nuety three, Excel nightty.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
Three, Good morning. Well Hey, who is this Diane? Question
of the day today? You can bring any concert to town.
Who's your headliner? Who's your opener? Oh? My god, doesn't
have to even make sense. They don't even need to
be alive. Alviusy oh wow, We're going way back and
(31:10):

be interesting. Very well, Diane, are you interested in playing

Leveris Center, Lee Bryce September twenty seventh, Shields Arena, Passes,
the Nickelodeon, universal'st Mountain Aventure Golf, and Crale experience in

out of five. Right, you're a winner. What in the
(31:45):
world are there more of? Here we go Netflix subscribers
versus Disney plus Netflix over two hundred and sixty million
versus Disney's one hundred and fifty million. You are correct,
that's a good start. Bananas or apples consumed yearly? Apple?
(32:08):
I would go apples too, but the answer is bananas.
Over one hundred billion bananas and eighty six billion apples.
I think I read something that bananas are Walmart's number
one most sold anything. Okay, okay, that's okay, you need
two more, right, we have three more chances? Light bulbs
or electrical outlets in your house? What are there more of?
Speaker 7 (32:33):
Electrical outlets?
Speaker 1 (32:36):
Outlets? Especially with tech everywhere, is the right answer, Let's
say twenty years ago, It's probably the other way around,
all right, Diane, you need one more right? Email addresses
or social media accounts? What are there more of? Say
(32:57):
that again? Email addresses are social media accounts? Social media
account that would have been my guest. But it's email
addresses most people have several. Forget about that. Yeah, okay,
we need the last one. Passwords or people? What are
there more of passwords? That is correct? Because we've all
(33:21):
got about five, ten, fifteen. Don't you wish it was
up to us to change the password? I do, and
then you can't use one you used in the past.
And passwords has got you to Minneapolis? Diane? Who passes
the Nickelodeon Universe most Mountain Adventure, golf Creole Experience, a
fun family adventure? What station has the most passwords? And
(33:45):
free stuff to give away? In Minneapolis? Monday guaranteed Excel.
Speaker 2 (33:49):
Ninety three to for one more thing on Excel ninety three,
one more time, one more more.
Speaker 7 (34:00):
Well.

The twenty twenty five MTV Video Music Awards kicked out
of the bang last night thanks to the sexophonic stylings
of Kenny g G, of course stands for Kenny Gorgeous.
It's the Ladies column. Kenny G was the first performer
to hit the VMA stage in twenty twenty five, but
(34:20):
only because he was part of Doja Cat's performance. Another
highlight was the I know maybe they were doing dinner
music people weren't done eating yet. Another highlights was the
tribute Dazzy Osbourne featuring Young Blood guitarist Nuno Bettencourt and
Stephen Tyler and Joe Perry from Arrowsmith. Other performers included
(34:41):
screen To Carpenter, j Balvin, Alex Warren, Buster Rhymes, Conan Gray,
Post Malone with Jelly Roll and video Van Guard Award
recipient Mariah Carey and her acceptance speech, Maria asked MTV quote,
what in the Sam Hill took you so long? Since
this was her first moon Man, but it was technically
(35:03):
or second because earlier in the night she won Best
R and B Video for Type Dangerous Lady Guy Guy's
performance of Average Daber and Dead Dance was pre tape
because she had a show across town at Madison Square Garden,
but she did attend the VMA's long enough to accept
the trophy for Artists of the Year. Ariana Grande had
a good Night, winning Video of the Year in Best
Pop Video for Brighter Days Ahead, Sprainded Carpenter, Best Pop
(35:26):
Artists and Best Album for Short in Sweets. All the
new music, I mean, yes, you've heard it here. I've
heard it here once or twice. All of these songs,
all the new music, though I don't think I've seen
any of the videos. Very cool what MTV did though, well,
First of all, Kenny g had opened the awards, but
about ten days prior to the show, flipping all their
(35:48):
channels to one pretty cool video stream of iconic videos
from eighties, nineties and artists giving their favorite videos of
all time. Comment, now you've got They're back to normal,
except for the classic MTV Classic Station, which I do
encourage you do tune in. It's a great background noise
(36:10):
at home, I feel. And there's these songs that I've
heard a thousand times. I've never seen the video for us.
Very interesting dangents on a Monday. But the Kenny g
are kicking out the VMAs last night, performing with Doja
cant Ariana Grande's Brighter Days Ahead, Best for the Own
Lady Go got Best artist. I'm a smart woman, I
just make bad choices. When it comes to men.
Speaker 3 (36:31):
You need the jerk alert, the handheld device that lets
you know the guy hitting on you is a jerk
you should not date. When the potential jerk approaches, activate
the jerk alert two seconds after he opens his mouth.
Speaker 1 (36:42):
The jerk alert will let you know, nice, he's a jerk.
Speaker 4 (36:46):
Throwing back.
Speaker 1 (36:46):
Try again and MBA you get lost.
Speaker 3 (36:51):
Wow, this is great, And if you ever do meet
a decent person, it'll let you know that too.
Speaker 1 (36:56):
Hellue, I'm a cardiologist looking for a stimulating equal to
be my lifeguard. Oh, thank you, jerk alert. The jerk alert.
Speaker 3 (37:05):
Just because he's a jerk doesn't mean you should be too.
Speaker 1 (37:08):
Oh hello, Universe now boarding first class, small children and
fat guys.
Speaker 2 (37:12):
Each of these cards contains a detailed scenario of a
possible apocalyptic event. We are preparing to orbit the planet.
