(03:09):
today. By the way, tomorrowwe're gonna start working on the four packs
of Nelson's Pumpkin Patch passes and backto back Nickelback winning to an earrow from
Nickelback is going to warrant people Nickelbacktickets for the October fifth show at Fargo
Down. But here's the deal,my deal. I've got lots of deals.
I went to pick up Peter Pinjust I mean, I remember they

(03:31):
were closing, but I didn't puttwo and two together that day and was
disappointed that it was once again gone. In Grand Forks, they made delicious
euros. By the way, I'veredeemed the euro. I guess void there's
a nice euro kit. You canbuy it Sam's Club if you're also if
you enjoy delicious euro and you can'tget your euro from Peter Pin anymore.

(03:53):
But my question of the day today, what's your weight that's gone? Moments?
So many things closing. It seemsalmost every day you read about something
closing, but you went there andit can almost blew your mind for a
second. Then it was gone westSide from Mike, give me more information
on west Side. I'm not sureexactly where west Side. I guess it

(04:16):
was in the western part of thelistening area, somewhere Beth going with Famous
Daves. Famous Daves is open forlike three days, I think right Strip
Mall on Columbia putting the Famous Davesin, people got excited. I'm fine
with Famous Daves, but there's somepeople who are really fired up about it,
and I think they were struggling forhelp like most places, and all

(04:41):
of a sudden, yes, thetumble weeds were blown by the front of
Famous Daves. And I think whentumble weeds blow by your place, you
have to close Excel ninety three,the forks in music station. It's a
weight that's gone Wednesday. I'm declaringit today. Like my recent trip to
Peter Pitt, so many things closedin I mean there's stuff opening up too.

(05:05):
It's not the Great Depression of twentytwenty three by any means, but
it's just said, when some ofyour favorite places, this could be a
topic for a different day too,when they get replaced by something that's not
near as exciting. I mean nooffense to all the tire stores in town,
but anyone else missed the Pizza Hutbuffet right now. It was a

(05:29):
good, cheap and delicious pizza pizzabuffet pre pandemic. I want to say
they opened again after the pandemic.Buffets were slowly being faced back in but
I don't know if I'll ever getto have a pizza hot buffet again in
my lifetime. Pizza Fet was theone that was closed, though all I

(05:50):
wanted was pick up some euros.When is your weight that's gone? Moment,
choose your own adventure. Winning Atseven thirty five this morning, Robin
going to Firehouse some that was thedevastating half of southtown Square closing when the
roof was collapsing due to a heavyI think it was heavy what snowfall number
seventy five of the last winter season. And I think Firehouse Subs is not

(06:14):
going to be returning anytime soon.Grand Junction, Savannah, that's another good
one on forty second behind the EleverCenter, across from the Elever Center.
Although there's a domino was going inon the Strip mall now I didn't know
about. But Grand Junction was delicioustoo. Had to stop into. I
think it was right spot over there. It was looking for Doseki's beer that

(06:35):
I couldn't find, and oh well, Grand Junctions closed. Didn't know about
that. Corey going with Joe's Dinerand Jessica's devastated that she went to who
Hunt and it was closed. Idon't think I ever ate at Joe's Dinner
or who Hunt. But Grand Junction, yes, Firehouse Subs. It had
been a very long time. What'syour weight that's gone moment? See most

(06:59):
of our topics of topics of discussion, we can end with that phrase.
Myself An RJ I think came upwith about ten years ago that we're all
in this together. We all havethese little I mean, I wouldn't say
it's a gut punch, but maybeit's a it's a risk lamp. Does
that makes sense? Am I?Trending? Testag trending on Excel ninety three

twenty twenty three top how two questionsthat are trending. They are all up
xcel ninety three dot com, TheTrevor d Page, No need to Google,
No time for a pitch ninety three. Yeare unbelievable. Let's change your
background music today. Bench didn't knowthe guitar riff and Sweet Child of Mine

thought it sounded like a circus melodyrocking circus for sure. Betch didn't know
Rosa Parks hired Johnny Conkering to sueOutcast over their nineteen ninety eight tracks Rosa

(10:28):
Parks. The two sides finally settledlawsuit in two thousand and five, six
months before Rosa passib aged ninety two, and two weeks after Johnny passed at

has it ever happened, and noother kicker has ever been named empty mostly
now a big executive of five guysrandom interesting and speaking of places with burgers
transitioning here, Bench didn't No mediumrare hamburgers are illegal in Canada. That's

(11:15):
right. Restaurant restaurants have to cooktheir meat to one hundred and sixty degrees
fahrenheit or more, and to makea burger medium rare, you can't go
over one hundred and forty five degrees. Although I think they should be illegal
everywhere. Just you don't need tospend more time in the bathroom than you
already do. I'll just say batsburger should be cooked, so there's no

(11:35):
red meats. I don't know whyI'm making bold statements today, Please don't
impeach me. Finally, Bench didn'tknow. For the most of this past
decade, the fastest growing city inAmerica was the Villages in Florida. And

the Royal Fork. I don't wantI know it's been closed for a while,

(12:45):
but I don't know if that wasa suddenly one of those stories where
there was a note on the door, thanks for your years as service,
go find somewhere else to eat.I think it is normally about how they
write those notes or if they gaveus. You know, they sometimes give
you a we're closed in one monthwarning type thing. Yeah, I'm sure

Let's go to Texas. It hasbeen the hottest summer ever globally, so
it's hard to argue this message wasn'taccurate. Someone in Houston gained access to

(14:37):
an electric electronic construction. Try thatagain. Someone in Houston gained access to
an electronic construction sign on Mundane,change the message displayed on it now.
Instead of relaying helpful information about roadworkcup ahead, it said quote do the
weather go f yourself. All Themessage stood up for several hours before it

(14:58):
got taken down down. A cityemployee said, the controls where you type
the message are in a locked boxand signed the signs of whoever did it
probably have access or knew how tobreak into it. No word yet who
was behind it or what kind ofcharges they could face. See what I

(15:18):
mean going into the last commercial breakthough the We've got those terrible people like
a mom who left her kids inthe ninety one degree heat while she went
to Walmart and we're screaming at thecops when she was in the back of
the cop. Card and turn theacon for her. Those people we want
to push down. This is someonewe want to laugh at, and they
can proudly display their shiny more OnAward trophy when we track them down.

(15:39):
Someone in Houston game access to anelectronic construction sign on Monday and change the
message so it said do to weather, go f yourself. We will get
them. Fifth trip to Texas.Fifth trip to Texas in twenty twenty three

discovered in flow? Sorry, Iguess it reminded me that, oh,

(16:02):
yeah, that's closed. I can'thave a euro today. What's your Wait?
That's gone? Moments, wait,that's gone. Wednesday John's with Taco
John's on seventeenth. I like theGateway location. They do good work,
delicious food, and it's on theway home for me, so it's a
good location. But we used tohave three in Grand Forts Fozzi's Barbecue and

(16:23):

I going with Grand Junction, theKelly in from Nicole. I think that's
the one off the main street.I twenty nine exits in Fargo, right,
I didn't know it was closed.This might be a moment for me

(17:07):
right now. I mean the hotelwas kind of if I'm thinking of the
right location, it could have usedan updated It's kind of like townhouse here
in Grand Forks that is now goingto be apartment buildings. But they did
have a good barn, some goodhappy hour specials too. If that's what
you're talking about, that's a wait, what that's closed moment for me suddenly.
Thank you for sharing Jewish in adventure. Winning your a college student free

(17:30):
Bumus wings for a year from BuffaloWild Wings could be yours at eight thirty
five. This is nice to knowwe've collectively wasted billions on this stuff.
An advisory panel for the FDA announcedyesterday the most popular decongestant in America doesn't
actually work now. It's called vanolaframe pH E N y L E pH

(17:53):
r I n E is how yousmell it. It's a ton of coal.
It's in a ton of cold medicines, including day qual musin x vix
sign X, nasal spray, timeLinol, cold and flu Benadryl allergy pills,
Certain types of robutasin and pseudo fadape. A lot of those do
have other ingredients that help with symptoms. By the way, but all sixteen

(18:15):
committee members agreed it's not dangerous,but there's no real proof it helps when
you're stuffed up, so they thinkit should be pulled from the shelves.
Quote, we should not have productson the market that are not effect of.
I still don't get in the coldmedicine ale where we don't need one
hundred different medications. Here's the superstrength that should be good enough for all

(18:37):
and maybe one for kids. That'sit. One guy's opinion here. The
FDA said they'll take it into consideration, and if they agree, drug companies
won't have to remove it from decongestantsand reformulate their products. It first got
approved in the nineteen seventies, butdrug companies weren't using it a lot until
two thousand five of them. Adifferent decongestant got restricted. That makes math

(19:00):
or you could make meth with it. That one pseudopedron. It's in the
better type of pseudo fed that doeswork. It's just harder to get now
because people kept stealing it to makemath. The one that FDA panel ruled
on yesterday has never been proven towork. Back in twenty seven, a
different panel only said it might beeffective, But patients and doctors have been

(19:22):
saying for years it doesn't seem toomuch. The various cold medicines it's in
a generated generated almost one point abillion dollars in sales last year alone.
Throw them in the garbage. Thenumber one decongestant in America doesn't work.
It's news. It's not always agood news, but maybe we knew that

(19:45):
instead of buying the cold medication,Let's go back to some go fashion chicken
soup. I am giving you achoice right now, Friday rap of the
approaching You choose it. Would yourather hang out with animals or the concept
of other people? One more thingbefore we go ninety three minutes commercial freaks.
You tell I was doing air quotesthere. Let's get into that next.

(20:10):
Good morning, Hello, Hey,good day. Who am I wissling
with? This is Jill Jill,So you heard my tragedy story. I
went to pick up Peter Pitt andI was reminded, Yeah, it's closed.
You're not getting your euro Trevor.I want to hear your what Wait,
that's gone moment. Oh, there'sa few, but I'd probably have

(20:34):
to go with sinkies. I missedtheir wings, Sicky's wings. I never
heard the wings over there. Imust have really missed out. Yes,
or maybe it's not as bad becauseI didn't have it. Yes, see,
now you don't miss that. Idon't know what you've got till it's
gone deal for me. Right,Well, we're Sicky's wings or your number
one wings in the area that getsyour gold medal. They're buoneless wings,

(20:59):
not they're regular. I still haveissues where. I mean, I love
boneless wings, but they should becalled something else, right, chicken nuggets
chicken nuggets? Why does nugget getsuch a bad word. I don't know.
Bad rep wings have to have abone. The boneless nuggets can still
be delicious. I agree. Iwould go to a place that was called

(21:23):
that advertised the nuggets and it saidthey're not wings because they don't have bones.
But they're still delicious. I thinkyou've got my point, Jill,
I do joel a college student,not anymore at all. Well, you
still can choose from some tickets theraces that Friday at River City Speedway,

So imagine you've got free Friday nightcoming up here in two more sleeps?
Would you be more open to spendingit with somebody else or a passing

(22:33):
new ball asked people, do youprefer people or animals? Now was pretty
close. Forty four percent said animals, forty one percent said people, and
fifteen percent said they don't know,so they probably wanted to choose animals but
didn't want to say offend they're significantother. Whoever, these people are their
friends. Here's the deal. Ithink we've had enough of people by the

(22:59):
end of the for sometimes you justneed to take the foot off the gas
and hang out with that best buttwho's been at home, whether it'd be
a dog, a cat, agerbil, a hamster. Maybe you've got
a goat. If you have agoat, you probably don't get to have
an opinion here because obviously didn't wantto hang out with that goat all the
time. But forty four percent animals, forty one percent people fifteen percent don't

(23:25):
know. Women far more likely toprefer animals, and younger adults also more
likely to choose animals. Interesting.In fact, the only age group that
preferred people over animals were senior sixtyfive and old. Yes, maybe retirees
haven't had enough of people by theend of the league, so oh no,
