(05:00):
I realized, hey, we're only going to have today to
address our inner dork. What do you do that might
be considered dorky? Own it? Own it? I think it
was Big Bang Theory that made kind of being a
dork cool again. You know what I mean by that? Right,
it can be funny. You can end up with a

(05:22):
very attractive significant other. It happened on Big Bang Theory,
and TV sitcoms have yet to line to me, embrace
that inner dork. We'll see some of your answers rolling
in here shortly. What is the dorkiest thing you do?
I don't want to have to sit here and give
you my top one hundred. Do you watch the Weather
Channel way too often? Maybe you were really into radio

(05:46):
as a kid. Maybe you still are. To make sure
you get up at seven o'clock in the morning for
American Top forty and jot down all the songs on

be a dork day. What's the dorkiest thing you do?
Excel money?

Speaker 5 (06:06):
Three?

Speaker 1 (06:06):
Hi? Well, hey, who is this James? Question? Is your today?
What's the dorkiest thing you do? Embrace your inner dork day?

Speaker 5 (06:20):
It's either a bag of caame, aplitaire, or a cube.

Speaker 1 (06:25):
Have you ever solved the rubikscube without taking the stickers off?

Speaker 5 (06:28):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (06:29):
No, I'm not.

Speaker 1 (06:30):
I don't think that's cheating. I don't think it says
in the rule book of Rubik's Cube, do not remove
and replace the stickers.

Speaker 5 (06:37):
Oh I am.

Speaker 1 (06:39):
So if you can make things easier, make me easier. Yes,
if you're not taking the stickers off, I think that's
almost cheating. And if you're cheating, you're only cheating yourself.
So take the stickers off, James, What do you want
to do here? I can get you tickets to Blackhawk
Friday Nights at Forest River and Forest River or Ramas

what is the dorkiest thing you Dolicia says the darkest
thing I do? Oh, hands down, it's narrating my cats
lives and song. Picture this two fluffy felines living out
their dramatic sagas, all set to my off key of

(08:12):
Broadway tunes. My neighbors definitely think I'm rehearsing for cats,
the unofficial housecat addition, that's embracing crazy cat lady. I
love that. That's fantastic, excellent stuff. There. See what else
do I have? Alexis slash Lexi says, every morning I

(08:33):
greet my plants in Elvish. Yes, Elvish. I've convinced myself
it's their preferred language, and honestly, I think they've been
thriving more because of it. Either I've unlocked this secret
to botanical bliss or I've just watched The Lord of
the Rings way too many times. Oh man, good, that's

(08:54):
the kind of stuff I'm looking for. What is the
dorkiest thing you do today? Bond and we'll instantly get
you qualified from a Dora on the Trivity or Excel
ninety three Facebook pages. Let's see one more. Gray says
I have a spreadsheet for tracking different types of cheese.

(09:15):
I've tried. It's got columns for texture, taste, funkiness level,
and what wine it pairs with. My friends tease me
about it, but who's laughing when we need a perfect
cheese board. That's right, this cheese dork right here, that
is excellent something. Maybe you're way too into like cheese.

(09:40):
I picture you being very very organized, grace, thank you
for sharing. Or maybe everything else is a disaster, but
you've got your focus where it needs to be for
that perfect wine and cheese night. Keep sharing today. What
is the dorkiest thing you do? And imm testag trendy

(10:01):
on excel netty three on Google post to the top five?
Is it rude questions? We've been googling and one of
us to do with another trending search. Gen z stare
videos are all over TikTok right now. Now. The claim
is gen z ers is so bad in real life interactions.
They can't even make small talk. They can't even you

(10:24):
ask a simple question or say hi, and it's just
dear in the headlights. There's an example. I do have
one posted axcelnetty three dot com trivity page under trending
gen z stare videos staring made Google's list of the
top five is at rude questions, but in a more
general sense, here they are. These are Google's top five

(10:44):
is in rude questions? Trying to talk about these together
here right now? Is it rude to go into a
restaurant now before close. I'd say it depends. If you're
doing full course meal, you're bringing in seven people with you,
then yes. If you're going in for a drink, maybe
a quick appetizer hour before fine, half hour before, I
just do the drink. This is it rude to stare

(11:04):
at someone? It's weird. I don't know if rude's the answer.
It's weird your parents. As a kid, if you're staring
at somebody, wou'd say, stop being rude. It's definitely weird.
No matter what's your age. Tell your kids stop being weird.
Is it rude to invite someone to a bronal shadower
and not the wedding? I am a full believer. The

(11:25):
wedding party and the people getting married get to this
side everything, and the rest of us have to deal
with it. There's too much to stress about in life
and worry about if you're invited to something or not.
I should go for everything. Is it rude to wear
sunglasses indoors? I do it because I have prescription sunglasses.
I'll run for a like, into a store, pick up
a couple of things with my sunglasses. I don't have well,

(11:46):
I mean I could switch to the other pair. But
it's just easier to run in. Don't wear sunglasses indoors.
If you're going indoors somewhere, maybe just sit down restaurant
for three hours. I don't know why I can be
at a restaurant for three hours, but situational for the sunglasses.
And finally, is it rude to refuse a gift? I
would say it is. The person got you a gift,
except the gift you choose what you want to do

(12:07):
with it. Google gen z agen z stared trending plus
the top is it rude questions we're googling? They are
all up Excelmney three dot com trivity page that, my
friends is trending.

Speaker 2 (12:19):
Bet you didn't know random facts coming at you? Now
that's the excel Letty three.

Speaker 1 (12:27):
All right, zb for our random facts today. Bet you
didn't know soda fans seven up fans. Nobody knows the
origin of the name seven up, which was first created
in nineteen twenty. Nobody has any clue. That's kind of funny.
No one googled it.

Speaker 5 (12:46):
I guess.

Speaker 1 (12:50):
Tried googling it. I know I could have done that
before we got into the brain. Oh Ai says uncertain,
no definitive explanation from the inventor. Several theories exist nounconfirmed,
so we'll just keep moving here. Betch didn't know pine

(13:13):
weevil insects place the faces next to their eggs to
keep predators away. That's a random fact, maybe a little disgusting,
though maybe a modern of curating breakfast today. Betch didn't
know the area of Wisconsin was spelled o UIs consin
from when it was discovered in the sixteen hundreds through

(13:34):
the eighteen twenties, when the US government started spelling it
wis con Sin. The official documents used to start with
it own Wisconsin. Betch didn't know the only place where
the venus flytrap grows natively is within six hundred miles
of Wilmington, North Carolina. If they're growing anywhere else, it's

(13:59):
because they've been transplanted there. But the only place penis
fly traps grow natively sixty miles. Within sixty miles of Wilmington,
North Carolina. It sounds very dangerous, dangerous place to be.
Steve and I, who grew up on the wrong side
of they call the second like to live dangerous. They
don't think I would go check that out. In the

(14:20):
Origin the history of toilet paper bench stay now. In
the nineteen thirties, a brand of toilet paper called Northern
Baptissue marketed itself with the slogan quote one hundred percent
splinter free. Because that was not always a guarantee of
toilet paper back down less than one hundred years ago.
We've got things pretty good right now. So when you're

(14:41):
using your office one ply, it could be worse now,
you know, eanks hel not e three? Good morning, ol, Hey, Hi,
good day. Who is this? This is La Kelsey with

And that's okay. Isn't they just make you feel comfortable
or they just have that very special smell mm hmm,

(15:31):
all the above, All the above, Like the most monstrous
of monsters could break in, any monster that terrorized New
York City in any disaster movie, and you'd be safe
with that baby blanket. Absolutely, that's a fact, that's science, science,

(15:54):
something strange in your neighborhood. You don't need to call anyone.
Throw on the baby blanket, Chelsea. What do we want

trying to send you everywhere in North Dakota. What station's

(16:38):
proud to be your Concert Events and Activities connection exs
ninety three.

Speaker 2 (16:44):
Let me put it this way, You're Tuesday morning moron
a warning, Yes, Laura my excel ninety three.

Speaker 1 (16:50):
Well you may be able to get away with stealing
ice cream from Walmart, but it can't get away with
stealing ice cream and sex toys. Forty year old man
in Florida named Jeremy LaForge was arrested last Friday after
stealing a long list of adult toys from Walmart. He
stole from the store on two separate occasions, and not

(17:11):
going to list off everything that he took, but there's
a lot of stuff. And he took one recess peanut
butter ice cream valued at three dollars in ninety eight cents.
Worked up a sweat. I guess while he was doing
his adult toy stealing made it's ice cream. Now, the
cost of the merch was under one thousand dollars total,

(17:33):
but Jeffrey's charges were enhanced to felonies because he has
a prior theft conviction. He has multiple convictions. He's now
being held on ten thousand dollars bond. Should we be
surprised Walmart carries him quite the impressive inventory of naughty toys.
There's a list of about eight things here. I had

(17:55):
no idea, I promise I'm not just saying that. Either.
I did a brave Google search and they've had them
since at least twenty eighteen. Forty year old man from
Florida rest last Friday after stealing a long list of
adult toys from a Walmart and I'm resist peanut butter
ice cream value of three dollars and ninety eight cents.

(18:16):
Forty year old Jeffrey LaForge will end up with the
Tuesday Morning Moron awarded and that it is now our
thirty third trip to Florida in twenty twenty five. I
know it's mid July. Florida's almost got her clinched for
the year. KKXL Excel ninety three. Grand Forks. Talk to

(18:37):
the Mayor Tuesday.

Speaker 2 (18:38):
Hit us up with your questions for Grand Forks, Mayor
Brendan Botenski, and you.

Speaker 1 (18:43):
Do it by the books. You got it. The Mayor
is my ass. I've done him there every other Tuesday
eight in Excel nightty three. Oh, it is time once
again to welcome the greatest Mayor and all the land.
You know him, you love them, and thankfully today you
get some more of them Grand Forks. They are Brandon Butchansky,
Good morning, good and Marna, and thanks for Brandon.

Speaker 5 (19:04):
My morning is always Tremorde.

Speaker 1 (19:07):
I'm your biggest hype hype fan, hype girl. Let's are
middle of July. Can we discuss do you have any
polls the city council meetings? Do you guys discuss how
you can? Like Amazon got to make Prime Day four
days long. However, they're such a big deal. They did that,
but they made the mistake of just not making one

(19:29):
day ninety six hours long. They stretched it out over
four actual days. Can we stretch out some days that
make them ninety six hours long in July? Because I
was scolding July not to behave like June did, and
suddenly it's July fifteenth already.

Speaker 5 (19:47):
Yeah, I once you get through the fourth it goes
pretty quick. But we do you know, they're not going
to be ninety six hour days. But I sat out
and watched the sunset and until it goes pretty close
at ten o'clock last night. So enjoy the days as
much as you can. It's been We've been doing pretty
good weatherwise. We've had some some good heat without out
here and there some storms, but we need that rain too,

(20:07):
so I think it's been pretty good.

Speaker 1 (20:10):
I agree, good summer so far. Keep up the good work.
It's dry, we could do some rain during nighttime hours.
I mowed yesterday. The lawn was rock hard. But the
mosquitos are down, so that's good. City hasn't sprayed yet,
have they.

Speaker 5 (20:25):
There was some spry earlier in the spring, where there
hasn't done much recently, so giving some money on that front.

Speaker 1 (20:30):
All right, Well, knock out my fake wooden here. Let's
start with city council aftermath. Grand Forts needs to know about.

Speaker 5 (20:38):
What the biggest thing was on the Greenway and in
downtown just south of the Soily Bridge. We got a
federal grant to do some enhancements to that area. So
really what you're going to see if you go on
the other side of the dyke from town Square, there's
going to be a big destination sort of park play area.

(21:00):
It's going to incorporate you know, nature, different activities for kids.
Pretty phenomenal that you know. Our team uh in a
lot of Works department put together a great grant application
that they want. So that'll be a finished getting designed
throughout this year and then bid out probably over the
winter for construction to start next year. So one more
one more amenity for the Greenway and something worth staying

(21:23):
outside and enjoying on nice warm days like we've been getting.

Speaker 1 (21:27):
Near downtown area just seems to be getting better by
the year, you know.

Speaker 5 (21:31):
It really has. It's become sort of the you know that,
I don't know what you want to call it, the
ruby of the town as sort of that life blood,
and it's you know, it's been good. I think a
lot of investments taking place down there, and it's increased
the quality life. So it's it's good to see.

Speaker 1 (21:47):
Well, speaking of construction, do you have any updates for
us as far as South Washington and Columbia go, Well.

Speaker 5 (21:54):
South weston the lane it's splipped again, So if you're
heading northbound on the left lane is closed now or sorry,
the right lane is closed now. It was the left.
They're wrapping that up hopefully here come the end of
July or the start August, the Washington South Washington to
North Washington underneath the railroad bridge will be done and

(22:16):
then you know, next spring, if all goals well, the
construction should begin on If that it's been probably closer
to midsummer. But on the forty second Street underpass, we
don't have to deal with that train anymore. We'll be
able to go right under it and it won't cause
backups like it has right there by un D's western edge,
So that is good. Work still continues on the Columbia Overpass,

(22:39):
so you know, north to South should open up here
in a year or two and will be not have
to deal with those requests time.

Speaker 1 (22:46):
I wonder how the train people, I know they have
secret meetings, and how they're going to get us when
that's no longer an issue for US vehicle drivers to
cross forty second train free. They're having a devious plan.
They put on they're hooded, pullover sweatshirts. How they're going
to get us. I have no idea where what they're going.

Speaker 5 (23:04):
To do, but I hope it's not some sort of spill,
you know, soap still that soaps it up in bubbles
so we can't go through, you know. That's like my friend, Yeah,
well we shall see. I really do hope that once
you get that done, that'll let her relieve a lot

(23:25):
of tension.

Speaker 1 (23:27):
We're going to win this battle. We're gonna win the war.
Never mind the battle, I think we win both. Talk
to them Mayor Tuesday every other Tuesday, Grand Forks Mayor
Brandon Batchanski when the Interstate goes to eighty in August.
Will there be a speed tramp slow down zone through
grand forks like Fargo and Bismarck. Do you have any

(23:49):
knowledge about that?

Speaker 5 (23:51):
Yes, I believe we're going to see a reduction, so
I can't remember if it's down to sixty five or seventy.
But that helps in two ways. For Stubviously, it's just
a little bit slower, a little safer when you have
people coming on and off. But also the lower speed
limit you don't need as long as an entrance or
exit ramps on the freeway, So as forty seventh Avenue

(24:11):
self gets built out, you can eliminate, you know, one
hundred and hundred feet of that ramp by having the
speed limit a little bit slower, so that that can
save some money, and you know, maybe being slower people
will stop here and shop and participate in the local
economy a little bit more. So I think it's got
some benefits. And you know, with us living here, generally speaking,
we're not blowing through town. We're stopping here. Maybe we're

(24:34):
using the Interstate B traverse, but I think it should
be it should be beneficial that we're going to be
going a little bit slower here with on city limits.

Speaker 1 (24:41):
Maybe to get people to stop, we bring the speed
limit all the way down to ten so you have
to pull off to go a little faster, and ultimately
you're going to stop somewhere going.

Speaker 5 (24:50):
Yeah that right, that right backfire and people would avoid
driving bias completely.

Speaker 1 (24:55):
So I don't pretend to have good ideas. I just
pretend to have ideas.

Speaker 5 (25:02):
Oh you're not even pretending you've got ideas, they're just
bad ones.

Speaker 1 (25:07):
Oh thanks for beating around the bush about it. I
appreciate it. So then Natalie a bunch of stuff coming
in through social media the last couple of weeks here,
and I encourage you guys keep doing that. Why can't
the city fix the terrible bump on Columbia Road, an
the many other roads in town that are in rough shape?
Where does one report the I don't even know where

(25:27):
this terrible bump is, but I don't want to bump
into it.

Speaker 5 (25:29):
I guess, yeah, right, kind of in front of Panda Buffet.
That's one that's been oh yeah, habitual problem. Okay, you know,
they go and try to fix it every year and
it ends up kind of you know, in the situation
that's in now, so I think going in the next thure,
there'll be a little bit more of a permanent fix.
But until that road gets reconstructed, which is going to

(25:50):
be a massive undertaking, there's always going to be at least,
you know, some level of a dipper a bump there.
I think it's probably an ancient creek curse, slew or
something that went through there and it just never quite
settles right no matter what you do to prepare the
surface above it and the rest of the city. I mean,
we certainly have a record amount of construction happening. It's

(26:11):
a short window, and I'm putting a record amount of dollars,
both nominally and real dollars in the end of the road.
So I think they're in better shape than other cities.
But we're not going to stop. We're to continue working
to improve them. The rear.

Speaker 1 (26:24):
I'm not one to throw out conspiracy theories here, but
that same bump, if you go east to west draw
line they fixed on forty seconds Street a number of
years ago as well as South Washington. Could that possibly
be a vault line where one day it opens up
and there's a big lava pit.

Speaker 5 (26:42):
Well, we need to jump ten. That's for sure, that's
the case, because that's the bump now and it becomes
a pit. At the minimum, we're gonna have to construct
some of ramps if people can jump it. But we'll
figure out out when the time comes.

Speaker 1 (26:56):
Okay, well, you're telling me there's a chance. Don't flush
your conspiracy theories on the toilet trever.

Speaker 5 (27:01):
There's always a chance.

Speaker 1 (27:04):
Grand Forts Mayor Brandon Pachanski talked to the mayor Tuesday.
Finn One from Kimberland random fluffy question today, if you
had a cat, what would you name your cat?

Speaker 5 (27:16):
Well, I would name I had a cat when I
was a kid, and I probably would revive that name.
My cat's name is Wally Smith, so I think Wally
Smith would come back. And he was quite the hunter.
We got a lot of rodents for us and brought
them back to the doorsteps so we could eat them too.
We never took them up on that. But he was
known for waking you know. I was like a sweaty kid,

(27:38):
still sweat a little bit, so he uh, he would
wake me up at like four in the morning just
licking my face with the roughest tongue ever. So that's
uh you know, you'd be hiding under the pillow and
Wally Smith would be baton at you.

Speaker 1 (27:51):
Wally Smith. Deuce.

Speaker 5 (27:53):
Yep, there you go.

Speaker 1 (27:56):
Thank you Kimberland for your question today. I have one
more question then I'll hit you with our question of
the day here today. Do you know if Slapshot Fan
of Alberts is closed for good? Do we need to
start to gofund me? Because I really enjoy the pizza.

Speaker 5 (28:10):
I think they are close for good. A lot of
people enjoyed the pizza, the subs that they had there.
You know, obviously, you never like to see a business
shut down and stop operating. We've you know, we've had
a number of open up. We had a number that
I've closed, and you always want to see more opening
than than closing. But that is one that that will
be missed greatly. I have no doubt about that.

Speaker 1 (28:32):
That's sad news. I'm gonna pour. I know it's radio,
so I probably don't have to do this, but poured
a little water out of my cup onto the floor
for Fan Alberts slap Shot. I also will greatly miss
that one. Let's end on a happier note. It's embrace
your inner door. Day today. What's the dorkiest thing you do?
Grand Fork's mayor Brandon Batchanski.

Speaker 5 (28:54):
Probably the dorkiest thing. I'm just a real like. My
lawn is is my baby. So I'm out there constantly
trying to get rid of every weed, trying to trim, cut,
sculpt the lawn. I don't know if it's dorky or not,
but that's probably what the dorkiest thing I do is

(29:15):
hours in the yardage states it's sort of my my
garden so to speak, or too.

Speaker 1 (29:21):
Yeah, do you have a sprinkler system or do you
have to pop out in the yard for six hours
over the course of a day and keep moving sprinklers.

Speaker 5 (29:29):
No, I've got a sprinkler system and I watched that
pretty close because I don't want to use it, you know,
any more water than I need to. So, like, we
got rain coming, so I've got to shut off for
this week and then if I need to spot run it,
they will, So we manage that tightly, just like everything
else at lawn.

Speaker 1 (29:42):
I have two tractors. I'm going to try to outdoor
c you on this one here. I have two tractors,
those little yellow tractors that run along the hose and
I've actually attached little blop like I think I've got
a a Charlie Brown guy on one of them and
a snoopy on the other one to drive the tractors.
Oh there's there's a part, Simpson. Those are the characters
who are driving the tractors, because you need a tractor

(30:03):
rider to dry the tractors. Absolutely, I think if we're
not already best friends, we completely just became best friends.

Speaker 5 (30:12):
This is every day. It's like a Stipe from the
movie Step Brothers.

Speaker 1 (30:16):
You know.

Speaker 5 (30:17):
I just want to say John stamos with you and

They play some good stuff sometimes, Yeah, they do. They
wouldn't play it if they didn't want us to sing
loud for all to hear, exactly, And I don't care
about looks. Either there should be like a happy hour
where for two hours or something they turn the music louder,

(32:32):
like do weird on Wednesdays at the grocery store something
like that, so you and I can go shopping and
nobody's going to give us looks. Yeah, I agreed. Well, Dana,

Okay?

Speaker 1 (33:04):
All right? I need three out of five right paper
clips made annually versus toothpicks? What are there more of?

Speaker 5 (33:11):
I'd say toothpicks.

Speaker 1 (33:13):
Toothpicks is correct, over one hundred billion made annually. You
don't see toothpicks very often anymore. I don't know if
it's the whole COVID thing or but we're still making
a billion toothpicks of one hundred billion toothpicks. That's crazy,
all right, Dana. What are the more of traffic lights

(33:33):
or stop signs?

Speaker 5 (33:36):
Fat?

Speaker 1 (33:37):
Fine? Correct again, Around two million traffic lights versus over
ten million stop signs, so it's not even close. All right?
Cats versus dogs? Now this one go three for three
and you're going to Hosier cab. The answer is dogs.

(33:57):
About ninety million dogs sixty million cats. That's I would
have guessed cats too, because crazy cat ladies each have
nine of them. All right, that's okay, two more chances here,
you need to get one right. Starbucks locations versus McDonald's
where they're more of This one's close. McDonald's. Yep, there

Vegas card sharks, it's reference to gambling on hardcore games
like poker, but some people are also really sneaky good

(35:09):
at Uno. The Palms Casino Resort just open the first
ever UNO's Social clumb in Las Vegas. Now it sounds
like it's a temporary thing for select groups of UNO enthusiasts,
featuring tons of UNO gaming, food and drinks, as well
as game inspired to core bowling, pool and other awesomeness.

(35:33):
According to Mattel, which owns Uno, More of these temporary
suites are expected to open across the United States later
this year. Now, it sounds like it's mostly a stunt
made for social media hype, so they're not bringing full
on UNO gaming tables to actual casino floors, at least
not yet. But if you get a secret joint of

(35:55):
making chains of skips for versus wilds and drop fours,
it could be something to keep on your radar. Palm's

Single Disney fans getting their own hook up app.

started looking for an actual Disney character. So I logged
