Speaker 4 (03:11):
You get those texts too from your self company that hey,
this new phone's out, Trevor wants to swing in. We
can get you one steal of a deal, but you
got the probably one thousand dollars tires. Isn't it a
fun feeling to drive on new tires?

had a major mishap at her homecoming show in Houston
Saturday night. She was in a convertible car that gets
raised and transported around the stadium on cables. Well the
car began tilting, and she quickly stopped the song. Later,
(04:47):
she thanked the audience.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Stuck sun, Oh, what's happening?
Speaker 5 (05:01):
She's not the concert? This is not normal?
Speaker 3 (05:05):
How what is that you all?
Speaker 4 (05:16):
I'm pretty sure the beehive would catch Beyonce and not
let her plummet to the ground. I would think if
I was watching a show like that, But the theatrics
we see today that was part of the show, Beyonce
getting stuck dangling above her concerts.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
The audience in a car.
Speaker 4 (05:34):

I know they're devoted Beyonce fans, but I would be
able to catch the car Excel ninety three.

Speaker 3 (06:33):
Okay, be listening next Monday, So the seventh at eight
thirty five.
Speaker 5 (06:38):
I think thirty five sounds good.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
So my question of the day, I think I deserve
a gold star because I planted flowers zone by myself,
even though the bunny started eating them basically as soon
as I turned away. But what do you think you
should get a gold star sticker for as far as
adulting goes?
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Oh, that's a tough one.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
I would say.
Speaker 5 (07:03):
If does it matter the gender male or female? No?
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Why do you deserve a gold star for being an adult?
Speaker 5 (07:10):
Well?
Speaker 3 (07:11):
I think if you get up every day and go
to work and do life, I think you deserve a
gold star because there are.
Speaker 5 (07:17):
Some people who don't do that.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
You're right, and life's not a happy, go lucky sitcom.
Speaker 5 (07:24):
Oring my phone cut out? What was that?
Speaker 4 (07:26):
Life's not just a happy go lucky sitcom. It's a
roller coaster. There's some days that get challenged.
Speaker 5 (07:33):
It is very true, especially if you have kids, then
your life is a major roller coaster.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
I can be exhausted without kids, with getting everything done
and still not getting everything done. I wanted to get done,
so I bound down to people like you, amazing parents
who can pull it off on the daily.
Speaker 5 (07:52):
Oh yeah, that is the daily routine of my life.
That's my kids, getting them here and there to all
their practices and everything they need to keep up.

lunch the night before. I do that all the time too.
I tried to get as much stuff ready the night before.
You guys, see how I dress.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
It looks.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
Looks like I blindfolded myself and just picked stuff out
of the closet anyway, and I picked this stuff up
the night before. I make lunch mistakes too. I don't
have any extra minutes to make a sandwich in the morning.
Mc cartman going on to say, make myself launch the

deserve one of those gold star stickers. I will give

Good job I'm doing the night before thing. I recommend
that to anybody. I also recommend planning. I know it's
a little tangent planning a meal list for the week,

doing after an exhausting day of going a million miles

an hour to work, to school, at the kids' activities,
you don't need one more thing to decide. What am
I going to make? What are we going to have

I still like Leanne's buying new tires instead of a
new phone.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
Good for you. I don't want to talk about it.
Speaker 4 (10:10):
I don't want to say out loud my current phone
is about four years old now because when I check yet,
after I turn the microphone off, it's sudden they won't
be working again. So I'm not going to say that
out loud. But buying the responsible stuff with your money.

rabbits started to eating them immediately. I don't know I
know I didn't put the sound up of my garden
saying rabbits please stay out, So that's my fault.
Speaker 1 (11:20):

maybe pictures.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
Okay, Well, there's something I need to do different next year.
I'll work on that.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
But nonetheless, I thought I deserved a gold sticker for adulting.
What do you think you should get a gold star
sticker for? As far as adulting.
Speaker 5 (11:37):
Goes, making supper every night and choosing what to have
for supper every time?
Speaker 4 (11:46):
Do you try to do a meal plan on the weekends?
You kind of know when the week gets busy what
you're going to do. So is it spin the wheel
when you get home and see what happens?
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Yep, it's kind of a free for all and hope
for the best.
Speaker 4 (11:59):
But it's all on you right s up. But you
pull it off. You knock it out of the ballpark
every day. And there's your adult gold Star sticker.

Speaker 2 (13:02):
Council connection at three, I'm much trending testag trending on
Excelled Lady three.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
Summer is trending in July and August. If you're listening,
don't behaveling June. Sure, we had a lot of nice days,
but slow down, June.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
I'm looking at you. You better do a better job
being slower next year.
Speaker 5 (13:28):
Leave.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
It's Twudent thirty.
Speaker 5 (13:31):
One.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
The old Parents are behind this trend, but some say
it's not realistic anymore.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
What do you think have you seen the new trend?
It's nineties kids summer.
Speaker 4 (13:41):
The idea is to give your kids the kind of
summer you had back when everything was a lot simpler.
It means things like running through sprinklers, drinking hose water,
and riding bikes all day. I'm lucky to live on
a street where there are kids who live on the
street that play outside all the time. It's fantastic to
see they're all on the street. It's not like I
(14:02):
can remember living in the big city of Winnipeg jumping
on bikes and.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
We drive through downtown.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
You wouldn't think about doing that today. Minimal supervision too,
with all these activities. Basically, just get outside, don't come
back till it's dark.
Speaker 5 (14:15):
All right, kids, three reasons to come inside.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
If you're bleeding, you're injured, you start storming.
Speaker 5 (14:23):
If you don't have those two reasons and stay outside.
And if you're thirsty, hold your own apartment.
Speaker 4 (14:29):
Bleeding, injured or starts storming, that's it. Come in when
the street lights come on. Nineties Nostalich is big, so
that's one of the reasons that's trending. Plus there's a
general feeling kids don't get to be kids anymore. But
is a nineties kids summer actually doable in twenty twenty five?
Experts say might be a great idea for some families,
but not others, So don't force it. It's harder to do.
(14:51):
I feel of in a city or a not so
safe area both parents were. There's also a chance your
child that's incapable of having a nineties kids summer if
you force them outside, they may not know what to
do out there.
Speaker 3 (15:04):
It's sad but true.
Speaker 4 (15:05):
An expert at Michigan State explained, like this quote, you
can't just have this overscheduled, technology saturated life for nine
months of the year and then switch to this absolute freedom.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
We haven't prepared our children for that, she says.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
If you forced them to act like a nineties kid,
they might just end up stressed out and more anxious
than they already were.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
But I'm liking at least where we're going here. Nineties
a new old trend.
Speaker 4 (15:28):
Nineties kids summer, get them outside, kids, get outside, enjoy it.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
Who is that word? A phrase?
Speaker 4 (15:36):
I came up with a game of throne stole winter
is coming. I know it's June thirtieth, trending everything I
shared with you on a nineties kids summer Excel nety
three dot com, the charity page.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Bet you didn't know.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Random facts coming at you now that's up answer Excel nightty.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
Three and another fact. That's all brought to us by
the Blue Moose Bar and Grille.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
Take five dollars off your favorite burger every Monday starting
in five I'm Blue moves CS Grand Forks Bench didn't know.
The first time snowflake was used in its current form
to describe someone's sensitive, fragile, and needing to be coddled
was in the cinematic classic Fine club had been used
(16:18):
as a slang term before, but not in this way.
All right, excuse me, well I whipped this down again
my geography minor from the University of North Dakota.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
Of course, Rhode Island. Bet you didn't know. Maybe you
didn't know.
Speaker 4 (16:32):
It's the smallest state, but it's technically the one with
a longer name than you'd think. Its official name is
the State of Rhode Island. So State of Rhode Island
is the official name. That's eighteen letters, but the longest
pull state name is the Commonwealth of Massachusetts for twenty
seven shortest name by the way, three way time. Give
(16:54):
you a second to think on that. Four letters we
have Ohio, Oh, I heard Iowa out there and Utah. Yeah,
that's right, guys. You guys are good Ohio, Iowa, and Utah.
How do you feel about Guinness beer fire? One down
Saint Patrick's Day because you think you're supposed to and
that's it. Betch did know Guinness officially says their beer
(17:17):
is not black, though it's quote dark ruby red, dark
ruby red.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
En have to look closer. Next, I got Saint Patrick's Day.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
Betch didn't know the only known animal that lays eggs
and produces milk the platypus, which I guess means it
could make its own crem brulet.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
It's interesting how my mind works.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
Planopus the only known animal that lays eggs and produces milk.
And finally, bench did know horses cannot breathe through their mouth,
only through their nose. Interesting, but now you know the
Animal Kingdom? Yeah, Animal Planet didn't teach you that today.
Appreciate you listening.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Let me put it this way, You're Monday morning. More
on a war has more on my Excel ninety three.
Speaker 4 (18:15):
Well, summer heat waves or peak season for ice cream
trucks such a pleasant sound to hear, to hear on
a sunny, humid day, if in a pretty good week,
except for this guy trying to ruin ice cream trucks
for the rest of us. An ice cream truck driver
in College Station, Texas, was in the middle of a
(18:37):
busy day last Tuesday when a random guy attacked him.
The attacker forty two year old Michael Valadez, and he
told the cops he saw the driver quote acting suspiciously
around some of the kids. Specifically, he saw him asking
for their phones and punching numbers in well instead of walking.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
Over like a normal and asking questions.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
Michael assumed the driver was automatically some sort of perves,
so he punched him multiple times, threatened to shoot him,
and took his phone. But it turned out the driver
was not a PERV. It's just twenty twenty five and
he accepts Apple pay. The kids were using their phones
to pay him. He also accepts cash app. I don't
(19:21):
know if it's going to go back to cash only now,
but police determined he wasn't doing anything illegal or inappropriate.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
It's twenty twenty five.
Speaker 4 (19:30):
Michael's facing charges for robbery and unlawful possession of a firearm.
Guy in Texas beat up an ice cream truck driver
after he saw some kids hand him their phones and
thought he was a PERV, but it turned out just
a truck accepting Apple pay.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
Michael Valadez flying off.
Speaker 4 (19:48):
The handle again could have clearred that up in about
a five second conversation, but instead we are going to
send this clown trying to ruin ice cream trucks for
the rest of us. These shining Monday Morning. More on
a Ward That's nour fifth trip to Texas in twenty
twenty five, grabbing sole position of third place for More

for his character and for the series to let this
this girl die in front of his eyes and he
could have saved her. So, you know, yeah, very very
(23:29):
exciting that this role in that show continues to find
a life and continues to be the hit that it is.
Speaker 4 (23:37):
I would just like you to confirm that you are
one real person, though not a zombie, because I did
see you dye in Breaking Bad.
Speaker 5 (23:45):
That was just that was just television, okay, good and
good actress playing a role that was okay, Yeah, I'm
just a regular girl over here.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
You've done some fantastical stuff and we can touch on
all the shows. I want to ask you about your book,
brand new book, Retreat. What inspired you to write Retreat?
How'd the idea for the story first come to you?
Speaker 5 (24:09):
Yeah, so Retreat is my new novel, and it's a
psychological character study and a murder mystery thriller, fun ride,
something that I've been working on for twelve or thirteen years.
I shouldn't probably just do the mask. Oh wow, yeah,
the original idea. Okay, So I was on a trip
by myself. My girlfriend did end up meeting me after,
(24:30):
but I was on this retreat. My sitcom to Me
in Apartment twenty three had just been canceled, and I
was just kind of looking for inspiration. I found myself
in a place in my life where I was like, Okay,
let's really like focus in what's next, what I want
to do. I'm writing, and you know, just like in
that place where I just wanted I just was like,
(24:51):
let's see what's next. And then I was out front
of my hotel and there was a guy who came
by and said that his girlfriend had rented a bike
at this hotel earlier that morning, but she was missing
and no one can find her. And the sun is setting.
He didn't seem that upset about it. So my brain
is like, oh my god, what if he's planning an alibi?
What if he murders his girlfriend and he's just and
(25:12):
I'm going to get caught up in this crazy murder
in Mexico by myself. And then obviously she was fine.
She showed up later.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
Oh good good.
Speaker 5 (25:21):
Where the idea came from? Like, what if somebody is
like at a place in their life where they're looking
for a little bit of a change or a little
bit of like identity stuff and gets caught up in
this crazy mousetrap mastermind thing and gets in way over
her head. So that was the original idea for the book.
And then I kind of later years later, I read
(25:41):
an article about a grifter in Brooklyn who was like
low level conning dates and I was like, oh, what
did that look like? So I just started finding inspiration
over the years, and now it is what it is.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
So I can't believe it was over a dozen years.
Speaker 4 (25:56):
I always wondered did people pop these books out in
six weeks or some people do?
Speaker 5 (26:01):
I mean some authors, you know, like Freedom of Sadden
has a new book every few months and I'm like,
how does she do it? And some people's you know,
some authors' brains just work like that. For me, the
idea sits a long time. I work on it. There's
different drafts, you figure out what it is, you hone
in on the content story you want to tell. So
this has been something. This is a passion project. Not
all of them need to take twelve or thirteen years,
(26:23):
but this is like, this is something. This has been
like a big process for me.
Speaker 4 (26:28):
But with the light bulb going off when you were
in Mexico, is I mean you can write off the
whole Mexican trip, vacation off tax right off because it
was a work study, work deal.
Speaker 5 (26:37):
That's a probably, I guess. I actually I didn't think.
I didn't think about that, you know, I didn't try
to do that. But that's a great idea. I don't
know how that worked.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
Retreat.
Speaker 4 (26:51):
It explores themes like survival, identity, deception. What do you
hope readers take away from these elements? Why should this
be my this summer sit around a backyard pool book
of the year, because I unfortunately don't get to a
lot of books over the course of the year.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
But this is really trigguing.
Speaker 5 (27:08):
This book is definitely it's definitely like something you could
pick up and enjoy on a weekend. It's it's got
a lot of twists and turns. A lot of people
have been saying they can't put it down. I think
there's escapism and wish fulfillment, and it's very sexy and
grown up, and there's a lot of identity questions. I
would love for readers to even ask themselves what they
would do in a situation whether they were mistaken for
(27:30):
somebody else and you could pretend to be somebody else
for a few days and maybe it wouldn't hurt anybody.
Speaker 3 (27:36):
I would love to pretend to be somebody else exactly.
Speaker 5 (27:39):
So I think that I think that this would be
right up your alley.
Speaker 4 (27:42):
Can I quickly ask you what's next? What's what are
we going to see? TV movies? What are we working on,
Kristin rid or right now?
Speaker 5 (27:50):
Well, we're in we're in early talks for the TV
version of Retreat, so that's in. I think, Yeah, this
is a big week for us where I'm very excited
over here. I'm currently filming also at the same time,
Dexter Resurrection, and that's been delicious and.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
Delicious, and I think that's all. That's it.
Speaker 5 (28:14):
I don't have a third book.
Speaker 4 (28:16):
You know, a couple in a moment Thanks during Breaking
Bad are the most heart thumping series I think I've
watched and streamed ever.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
So you do amazing work.
Speaker 4 (28:24):
Not to mention Marvel's Jessica Jones, Don't Trust the Bee
was a great show.
Speaker 6 (28:29):
To me.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
It seemed like that was five years ago. I know
it was way longer than that. I wish you needed it.
Nothing but more. Success doesn't ever year seem like it's
ten days long.
Speaker 5 (28:37):
Especially I have a five year old now, and time
is like, what is happening? Very surreal.
Speaker 3 (28:43):
I'm Jarring Kristin Ritter, author of Retreat. Pick up the book.
It has been a pleasure to have you on the show,
and I hope we can visit again.
Speaker 5 (28:50):
So nice to meet you. Thank you for your time.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
You and I have talked many times. They're predisposed not
to like what you're going to say. These are people
they care about, people who are on your side.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
Treber D in the Morning Show on Excel ninety three.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
One more thing on the way. What is your fourth
or July summer grill out?
Speaker 4 (29:07):
Going?
Speaker 3 (29:07):
To cost you this year?
Speaker 4 (29:10):
Would you believe me if I said something's actually going
down in price? Stand by, we'll get all up in
your grill coming up. Excel ninety three called out some
names just a few minutes ago.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
Hello, well, hey, hey, hey, who is this Brittany?
Speaker 3 (29:36):
Brittany? What's your last name?
Speaker 5 (29:38):
Hi?
Speaker 3 (29:38):
Who Brittany? I hughes. Why are you calling me at
this hour?
Speaker 4 (29:43):
Because I was on the list from the trip to
the Dora and.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
I did have the audacity, didn't I? I called your name?
Speaker 5 (29:51):
You did?
Speaker 1 (29:53):
My husband texting me about thirty times. I was listening
on Hearheart but it was lagging.
Speaker 3 (29:58):
See that's why we do it like this. I put
things on hold.
Speaker 4 (30:01):
We take a deep breath, do some deep knee bends,
and wait for the app to catch up.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
So it's fair for people like Britney to claim her
Medora trip amazing winner. Are you sound amazed?
Speaker 1 (30:15):
I'm super excited.
Speaker 3 (30:16):
Last time you've been? What's that last time you were
at Medora?
Speaker 1 (30:21):
We haven't been?
Speaker 3 (30:23):
Dare I drop on? Got the heck out of here?
Speaker 5 (30:27):
Never?
Speaker 2 (30:28):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (30:28):
No, I'm curious.
Speaker 3 (30:29):
We've been trying to go but just haven't made it. Well,
this should save you some money.
Speaker 4 (30:33):
I've got a nod of accommodations at the Badlands Motel
passes the Pitchford found due the Medora Musical and the
daytime Old town Hall show. If you need to get
one more activity, amazing Britney Went Station is proud to
be your Medora connection. But like you're super excited in
one a Medora trip, give me an Excel lady three.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
Three todd for one more thing on Excel ninety three.
Speaker 3 (31:04):
One more term, one more, one more.
Speaker 5 (31:08):
So.
Speaker 4 (31:09):
The American Farms euro Federation release that's annuel report on
the cost of an average fourth through July cookout, and
believe it.
Speaker 3 (31:15):
Or not, it's actually down not to have from last year.
Speaker 4 (31:19):
Not really enough to move the needle, but we're gonna
take anything that's down in price. The average backyard barbecue
for ten people will cost seventy dollars ninety two cents
this year, down thirty cents from twenty twenty four.
Speaker 3 (31:33):
To me, that sounds really cheap.
Speaker 4 (31:36):
Barbecue for ten I would say two hundred bucks even
without the booze, but that's just over seven dollars of person.
They say inflation in lower availability for some stuff has
kept prices stubbornly high. Now, if you're just doing burgers
and dogs, it may cost even less. I think burgers
and dogs get a bad rap. I enjoy, thoroughly enjoy.
It might be my two favorite things off a grill,
(32:00):
A smoky a broad a polish too. Don't get me wrong,
I do love some ribs a steak. But people think, oh,
we're having a grill out, we better step the game
up the quality of the meat. We're really just like
a hotcog. All right, off my Wiener podium here. If
you're doing just burgers and dogs and make cost, you
lost the twelve items they factor in ground beef, chicken,
(32:23):
pork chops, buns, cheese, potato, salad, pork and beans, potato chips, cookies,
ice cream, strawberries, and lemonade. You're thinking back to seventy dollars.
You're having a grill out around here. That's about your
average beer budget. That can get you three thirty packs
a bush line. But they're just factoring in the food
(32:44):
like people, byob they should anyway if they're your friends.
American Farm Bureau saying the average fourth of July cookouts
seventy dollars ninety two cents this year, down thirty cents
from twenty twenty four. But a win is a win
as a win, well, how about what one thousand dollars
today and win all of your Fourth of July backyard
(33:06):
barbecue food nine times a day top of the hour.
Of a keyword to drop on you, you just enter
that the little pop up box when you open up
the iHeartRadio app on the Xcelmty three page. Go to
xcelmenty three dot com. You can do it that way too,
nine times a day, top of the hour, right through
five o'clock. You might as well stick around. In fact,
we're going to begin by going ninety three minutes commercial
free next Fourth of July. Safety tip dajour today. Count
(33:31):
up your fingers right now. I want you to have
the same amount when we reconvene next Monday.
Speaker 6 (33:40):
Uh oh, there goes another bottle rocket and two of
your fingers. So much for a fun Fourth of July.
After all, you can't drink beer if you can't hold beer,
right wrong, introducing knob Light, the only beer with a
built in straw, so you can still enjoy an ice
cold brew even after you blow off your finger.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
Don't take our word for it. Just listen to one
of our satisfied customers.
Speaker 3 (34:04):
I give nub Light two thumbs up, make it one
and a half.
Speaker 6 (34:10):
No matter what goes down this fourth of July, nub
Light is a beer you can count on, unlike your hand. Oh,
I'm sending you on an extremely controversial mission.
Speaker 5 (34:23):
I'm not a devil, torture and all that stuff.
Speaker 3 (34:25):
Human rights, sir, so yesterday here I don't.
Speaker 1 (34:28):
Fit anywhere else except front in the spot. The two
DJs came in and interview me.
Speaker 3 (34:32):
I would enjoy that very much.

Speaker 5 (05:01):
She's not the concert? This is not normal?
Speaker 3 (05:05):
How what is that you all?
Speaker 4 (05:16):
I'm pretty sure the beehive would catch Beyonce and not
let her plummet to the ground. I would think if
I was watching a show like that, But the theatrics
we see today that was part of the show, Beyonce
getting stuck dangling above her concerts.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
The audience in a car.
Speaker 4 (05:34):

So my question of the day, I think I deserve
a gold star because I planted flowers zone by myself,
even though the bunny started eating them basically as soon
as I turned away. But what do you think you
should get a gold star sticker for as far as
adulting goes?
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Oh, that's a tough one.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
I would say.
Speaker 5 (07:03):
If does it matter the gender male or female? No?
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Why do you deserve a gold star for being an adult?
Speaker 5 (07:10):
Well?
Speaker 3 (07:11):
I think if you get up every day and go
to work and do life, I think you deserve a
gold star because there are.
Speaker 5 (07:17):
Some people who don't do that.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
You're right, and life's not a happy, go lucky sitcom.
Speaker 5 (07:24):
Oring my phone cut out? What was that?
Speaker 4 (07:26):
Life's not just a happy go lucky sitcom. It's a
roller coaster. There's some days that get challenged.
Speaker 5 (07:33):
It is very true, especially if you have kids, then
your life is a major roller coaster.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
I can be exhausted without kids, with getting everything done
and still not getting everything done. I wanted to get done,
so I bound down to people like you, amazing parents
who can pull it off on the daily.
Speaker 5 (07:52):
Oh yeah, that is the daily routine of my life.
That's my kids, getting them here and there to all
their practices and everything they need to keep up.

I tried to get as much stuff ready the night before.
You guys, see how I dress.
Speaker 3 (08:44):

Speaker 4 (08:46):

have any extra minutes to make a sandwich in the morning.
Mc cartman going on to say, make myself launch the

I going to make? What are we going to have

Good for you. I don't want to talk about it.
Speaker 4 (10:10):
I don't want to say out loud my current phone
is about four years old now because when I check yet,
after I turn the microphone off, it's sudden they won't
be working again. So I'm not going to say that
out loud. But buying the responsible stuff with your money.

rabbits started to eating them immediately. I don't know I
know I didn't put the sound up of my garden
saying rabbits please stay out, So that's my fault.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
That's on me, right, I don't think they can read
maybe pictures.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
Okay, Well, there's something I need to do different next year.
I'll work on that.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
But nonetheless, I thought I deserved a gold sticker for adulting.
What do you think you should get a gold star
sticker for? As far as adulting.
Speaker 5 (11:37):
Goes, making supper every night and choosing what to have
for supper every time?
Speaker 4 (11:46):
Do you try to do a meal plan on the weekends?
You kind of know when the week gets busy what
you're going to do. So is it spin the wheel
when you get home and see what happens?
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Yep, it's kind of a free for all and hope
for the best.
Speaker 4 (11:59):

Council connection at three, I'm much trending testag trending on
Excelled Lady three.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
Summer is trending in July and August. If you're listening,
don't behaveling June. Sure, we had a lot of nice days,
but slow down, June.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
I'm looking at you. You better do a better job
being slower next year.
Speaker 5 (13:28):
Leave.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
It's Twudent thirty.
Speaker 5 (13:31):
One.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
The old Parents are behind this trend, but some say
it's not realistic anymore.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
What do you think have you seen the new trend?
It's nineties kids summer.
Speaker 4 (13:41):
The idea is to give your kids the kind of
summer you had back when everything was a lot simpler.
It means things like running through sprinklers, drinking hose water,
and riding bikes all day. I'm lucky to live on
a street where there are kids who live on the
street that play outside all the time. It's fantastic to
see they're all on the street. It's not like I
(14:02):
can remember living in the big city of Winnipeg jumping
on bikes and.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
We drive through downtown.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
You wouldn't think about doing that today. Minimal supervision too,
with all these activities. Basically, just get outside, don't come
back till it's dark.
Speaker 5 (14:15):
All right, kids, three reasons to come inside.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
If you're bleeding, you're injured, you start storming.
Speaker 5 (14:23):
If you don't have those two reasons and stay outside.
And if you're thirsty, hold your own apartment.
Speaker 4 (14:29):
Bleeding, injured or starts storming, that's it. Come in when
the street lights come on. Nineties Nostalich is big, so
that's one of the reasons that's trending. Plus there's a
general feeling kids don't get to be kids anymore. But
is a nineties kids summer actually doable in twenty twenty five?
Experts say might be a great idea for some families,
but not others, So don't force it. It's harder to do.
(14:51):
I feel of in a city or a not so
safe area both parents were. There's also a chance your
child that's incapable of having a nineties kids summer if
you force them outside, they may not know what to
do out there.
Speaker 3 (15:04):
It's sad but true.
Speaker 4 (15:05):
An expert at Michigan State explained, like this quote, you
can't just have this overscheduled, technology saturated life for nine
months of the year and then switch to this absolute freedom.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
We haven't prepared our children for that, she says.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
If you forced them to act like a nineties kid,
they might just end up stressed out and more anxious
than they already were.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
But I'm liking at least where we're going here. Nineties
a new old trend.
Speaker 4 (15:28):
Nineties kids summer, get them outside, kids, get outside, enjoy it.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
Who is that word? A phrase?
Speaker 4 (15:36):
I came up with a game of throne stole winter

All right, excuse me, well I whipped this down again
my geography minor from the University of North Dakota.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
Of course, Rhode Island. Bet you didn't know. Maybe you
didn't know.
Speaker 4 (16:32):
It's the smallest state, but it's technically the one with
a longer name than you'd think. Its official name is
the State of Rhode Island. So State of Rhode Island
is the official name. That's eighteen letters, but the longest
pull state name is the Commonwealth of Massachusetts for twenty
seven shortest name by the way, three way time. Give
(16:54):
you a second to think on that. Four letters we

Speaker 4 (18:15):
Well, summer heat waves or peak season for ice cream
trucks such a pleasant sound to hear, to hear on
a sunny, humid day, if in a pretty good week,
except for this guy trying to ruin ice cream trucks
for the rest of us. An ice cream truck driver
in College Station, Texas, was in the middle of a
(18:37):
busy day last Tuesday when a random guy attacked him.
The attacker forty two year old Michael Valadez, and he
told the cops he saw the driver quote acting suspiciously
around some of the kids. Specifically, he saw him asking
for their phones and punching numbers in well instead of walking.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
Over like a normal and asking questions.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
Michael assumed the driver was automatically some sort of perves,
so he punched him multiple times, threatened to shoot him,
and took his phone. But it turned out the driver
was not a PERV. It's just twenty twenty five and
he accepts Apple pay. The kids were using their phones
to pay him. He also accepts cash app. I don't
(19:21):
know if it's going to go back to cash only now,
but police determined he wasn't doing anything illegal or inappropriate.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
It's twenty twenty five.
Speaker 4 (19:30):
Michael's facing charges for robbery and unlawful possession of a firearm.
Guy in Texas beat up an ice cream truck driver
after he saw some kids hand him their phones and
thought he was a PERV, but it turned out just
a truck accepting Apple pay.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
Michael Valadez flying off.
Speaker 4 (19:48):
The handle again could have clearred that up in about
a five second conversation, but instead we are going to
send this clown trying to ruin ice cream trucks for
the rest of us. These shining Monday Morning. More on

of eating out for sure, parenting. It's amazing how much
money is safe? Remember the five dollars foot long days. Yeah,
you can't get one sub for well, it's about ten
dollars now.
Speaker 3 (21:24):
I think delicious.
Speaker 4 (21:26):
But hey, you can make a sub sandwich at home
for a lot less money, and I think it goes
for everything. That's just the first thing that popped into
my head, going to work to make money. Good job, Hannah,

summers nineties kids, summers are trending, going outside and enjoying it.

All my life keep sharing Today we'll give away him
Ador Trip eight thirty five and called some names. And
the last way you can become an INSTA finalist go
to the threads on the Instagram Trevity orax on the
dy three Instagram pages or our Facebook. What do you
think you should get a gold star sticker for? As
far as the Builton goes well. The star of Marvel's
(22:25):
Jessica Jones. She played j Jesse Pinkman's girlfriend on Breaking Bad.
Kristin Ridder, good day, good morning, Well, good day. Kristin
Ridder so excited to have you on the show. Well
known for starring roles in the award winning Netflix original
series Marvel's Jessica Jones co favorite Don't Trust to Be
(22:46):
an Apartment twenty three and pivotal role on AMC's Breaking Bad.
I just have to throw out this question first, just
before we get into this. I was a big Breaking
Bad fan dated Jesse Pinkman. Walter White killed you correct
and during the show.
Speaker 5 (23:02):
Well did you watch the show?
Speaker 4 (23:05):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (23:05):
Absolutely absolutely?
Speaker 5 (23:06):
Okay, So yeah, so I'm you know, obviously that's like
the best show ever and I'm so lucky that I
get to be a part of it. But Walter White
lets Jane die. It was you know, a huge moment
for his character and for the series to let this
this girl die in front of his eyes and he
could have saved her. So, you know, yeah, very very
(23:29):
exciting that this role in that show continues to find
a life and continues to be the hit that it is.
Speaker 4 (23:37):
I would just like you to confirm that you are
one real person, though not a zombie, because I did
see you dye in Breaking Bad.
Speaker 5 (23:45):
That was just that was just television, okay, good and
good actress playing a role that was okay, Yeah, I'm
just a regular girl over here.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
You've done some fantastical stuff and we can touch on
all the shows. I want to ask you about your book,
brand new book, Retreat. What inspired you to write Retreat?
How'd the idea for the story first come to you?
Speaker 5 (24:09):
Yeah, so Retreat is my new novel, and it's a
psychological character study and a murder mystery thriller, fun ride,
something that I've been working on for twelve or thirteen years.
I shouldn't probably just do the mask. Oh wow, yeah,
the original idea. Okay, So I was on a trip
by myself. My girlfriend did end up meeting me after,
(24:30):
but I was on this retreat. My sitcom to Me
in Apartment twenty three had just been canceled, and I
was just kind of looking for inspiration. I found myself
in a place in my life where I was like, Okay,
let's really like focus in what's next, what I want
to do. I'm writing, and you know, just like in
that place where I just wanted I just was like,
(24:51):
let's see what's next. And then I was out front
of my hotel and there was a guy who came
by and said that his girlfriend had rented a bike
at this hotel earlier that morning, but she was missing
and no one can find her. And the sun is setting.
He didn't seem that upset about it. So my brain
is like, oh my god, what if he's planning an alibi?
What if he murders his girlfriend and he's just and
(25:12):
I'm going to get caught up in this crazy murder
in Mexico by myself. And then obviously she was fine.
She showed up later.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
Oh good good.
Speaker 5 (25:21):
Where the idea came from? Like, what if somebody is
like at a place in their life where they're looking
for a little bit of a change or a little
bit of like identity stuff and gets caught up in
this crazy mousetrap mastermind thing and gets in way over
her head. So that was the original idea for the book.
And then I kind of later years later, I read
(25:41):
an article about a grifter in Brooklyn who was like
low level conning dates and I was like, oh, what
did that look like? So I just started finding inspiration
over the years, and now it is what it is.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
So I can't believe it was over a dozen years.
Speaker 4 (25:56):
I always wondered did people pop these books out in
six weeks or some people do?
Speaker 5 (26:01):
I mean some authors, you know, like Freedom of Sadden
has a new book every few months and I'm like,
how does she do it? And some people's you know,
some authors' brains just work like that. For me, the
idea sits a long time. I work on it. There's
different drafts, you figure out what it is, you hone
in on the content story you want to tell. So
this has been something. This is a passion project. Not
all of them need to take twelve or thirteen years,
(26:23):
but this is like, this is something. This has been
like a big process for me.
Speaker 4 (26:28):
But with the light bulb going off when you were
in Mexico, is I mean you can write off the
whole Mexican trip, vacation off tax right off because it
was a work study, work deal.
Speaker 5 (26:37):
That's a probably, I guess. I actually I didn't think.
I didn't think about that, you know, I didn't try
to do that. But that's a great idea. I don't
know how that worked.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
Retreat.
Speaker 4 (26:51):
It explores themes like survival, identity, deception. What do you
hope readers take away from these elements? Why should this
be my this summer sit around a backyard pool book
of the year, because I unfortunately don't get to a
lot of books over the course of the year.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
But this is really trigguing.
Speaker 5 (27:08):
This book is definitely it's definitely like something you could
pick up and enjoy on a weekend. It's it's got
a lot of twists and turns. A lot of people
have been saying they can't put it down. I think
there's escapism and wish fulfillment, and it's very sexy and
grown up, and there's a lot of identity questions. I
would love for readers to even ask themselves what they
would do in a situation whether they were mistaken for
(27:30):
somebody else and you could pretend to be somebody else
for a few days and maybe it wouldn't hurt anybody.
Speaker 3 (27:36):
I would love to pretend to be somebody else exactly.
Speaker 5 (27:39):
So I think that I think that this would be
right up your alley.
Speaker 4 (27:42):
Can I quickly ask you what's next? What's what are
we going to see? TV movies? What are we working on,
Kristin rid or right now?
Speaker 5 (27:50):
Well, we're in we're in early talks for the TV
version of Retreat, so that's in. I think, Yeah, this
is a big week for us where I'm very excited
over here. I'm currently filming also at the same time,
Dexter Resurrection, and that's been delicious and.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
Delicious, and I think that's all. That's it.
Speaker 5 (28:14):
I don't have a third book.
Speaker 4 (28:16):
You know, a couple in a moment Thanks during Breaking
Bad are the most heart thumping series I think I've
watched and streamed ever.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
So you do amazing work.
Speaker 4 (28:24):
Not to mention Marvel's Jessica Jones, Don't Trust the Bee
was a great show.
Speaker 6 (28:29):
To me.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
It seemed like that was five years ago. I know
it was way longer than that. I wish you needed it.
Nothing but more. Success doesn't ever year seem like it's
ten days long.
Speaker 5 (28:37):
Especially I have a five year old now, and time
is like, what is happening? Very surreal.
Speaker 3 (28:43):
I'm Jarring Kristin Ritter, author of Retreat. Pick up the book.
It has been a pleasure to have you on the show,
and I hope we can visit again.
Speaker 5 (28:50):
So nice to meet you. Thank you for your time.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
You and I have talked many times. They're predisposed not
to like what you're going to say. These are people
they care about, people who are on your side.

Treber D in the Morning Show on Excel ninety three.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
One more thing on the way. What is your fourth
or July summer grill out?
Speaker 4 (29:07):
Going?
Speaker 3 (29:07):
To cost you this year?
Speaker 4 (29:10):
Would you believe me if I said something's actually going
down in price? Stand by, we'll get all up in
your grill coming up. Excel ninety three called out some
names just a few minutes ago.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
Hello, well, hey, hey, hey, who is this Brittany?
Speaker 3 (29:36):
Brittany? What's your last name?
Speaker 5 (29:38):
Hi?
Speaker 3 (29:38):
Who Brittany? I hughes. Why are you calling me at
this hour?
Speaker 4 (29:43):
Because I was on the list from the trip to
the Dora and.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
I did have the audacity, didn't I? I called your name?
Speaker 5 (29:51):
You did?
Speaker 1 (29:53):
My husband texting me about thirty times. I was listening
on Hearheart but it was lagging.
Speaker 3 (29:58):
See that's why we do it like this. I put
things on hold.
Speaker 4 (30:01):
We take a deep breath, do some deep knee bends,
and wait for the app to catch up.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
So it's fair for people like Britney to claim her
Medora trip amazing winner. Are you sound amazed?
Speaker 1 (30:15):
I'm super excited.
Speaker 3 (30:16):
Last time you've been? What's that last time you were
at Medora?
Speaker 1 (30:21):
We haven't been?
Speaker 3 (30:23):
Dare I drop on? Got the heck out of here?
Speaker 5 (30:27):
Never?
Speaker 2 (30:28):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (30:28):
No, I'm curious.
Speaker 3 (30:29):
We've been trying to go but just haven't made it. Well,
this should save you some money.
Speaker 4 (30:33):
I've got a nod of accommodations at the Badlands Motel
passes the Pitchford found due the Medora Musical and the
daytime Old town Hall show. If you need to get
one more activity, amazing Britney Went Station is proud to
be your Medora connection. But like you're super excited in
one a Medora trip, give me an Excel lady three.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
Three todd for one more thing on Excel ninety three.
Speaker 3 (31:04):
One more term, one more, one more.
Speaker 5 (31:08):
So.
Speaker 4 (31:09):
The American Farms euro Federation release that's annuel report on
the cost of an average fourth through July cookout, and
believe it.
Speaker 3 (31:15):
Or not, it's actually down not to have from last year.
Speaker 4 (31:19):
Not really enough to move the needle, but we're gonna
take anything that's down in price. The average backyard barbecue
for ten people will cost seventy dollars ninety two cents
this year, down thirty cents from twenty twenty four.
Speaker 3 (31:33):
To me, that sounds really cheap.
Speaker 4 (31:36):
Barbecue for ten I would say two hundred bucks even
without the booze, but that's just over seven dollars of person.
They say inflation in lower availability for some stuff has
kept prices stubbornly high. Now, if you're just doing burgers
and dogs, it may cost even less. I think burgers
and dogs get a bad rap. I enjoy, thoroughly enjoy.
It might be my two favorite things off a grill,
(32:00):
A smoky a broad a polish too. Don't get me wrong,
I do love some ribs a steak. But people think, oh,
we're having a grill out, we better step the game
up the quality of the meat. We're really just like
a hotcog. All right, off my Wiener podium here. If
you're doing just burgers and dogs and make cost, you
lost the twelve items they factor in ground beef, chicken,
(32:23):
pork chops, buns, cheese, potato, salad, pork and beans, potato chips, cookies,
ice cream, strawberries, and lemonade. You're thinking back to seventy dollars.
You're having a grill out around here. That's about your
average beer budget. That can get you three thirty packs
a bush line. But they're just factoring in the food
(32:44):
like people, byob they should anyway if they're your friends.
American Farm Bureau saying the average fourth of July cookouts
seventy dollars ninety two cents this year, down thirty cents
from twenty twenty four. But a win is a win
as a win, well, how about what one thousand dollars
today and win all of your Fourth of July backyard
(33:06):
barbecue food nine times a day top of the hour.
Of a keyword to drop on you, you just enter
that the little pop up box when you open up
the iHeartRadio app on the Xcelmty three page. Go to
xcelmenty three dot com. You can do it that way too,
nine times a day, top of the hour, right through
five o'clock. You might as well stick around. In fact,
we're going to begin by going ninety three minutes commercial
free next Fourth of July. Safety tip dajour today. Count
(33:31):
up your fingers right now. I want you to have
the same amount when we reconvene next Monday.
Speaker 6 (33:40):
Uh oh, there goes another bottle rocket and two of
your fingers. So much for a fun Fourth of July.
After all, you can't drink beer if you can't hold beer,
right wrong, introducing knob Light, the only beer with a
built in straw, so you can still enjoy an ice
cold brew even after you blow off your finger.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
Don't take our word for it. Just listen to one
of our satisfied customers.
Speaker 3 (34:04):
I give nub Light two thumbs up, make it one
and a half.
Speaker 6 (34:10):
No matter what goes down this fourth of July, nub
Light is a beer you can count on, unlike your hand. Oh,
I'm sending you on an extremely controversial mission.
Speaker 5 (34:23):
I'm not a devil, torture and all that stuff.
Speaker 3 (34:25):
Human rights, sir, so yesterday here I don't.
Speaker 1 (34:28):
Fit anywhere else except front in the spot. The two
DJs came in and interview me.
Speaker 3 (34:32):
I would enjoy that very much.
