Speaker 1 (00:01):
This place sometimes this place. Sometimes she's a smoke show
from Glenco. It's little be Devon's along with us as well.

Speaker 2 (00:07):
HIV Hello.

Speaker 3 (00:10):
I think like one of the first times I met Devin.
I think this was you, right, Devan during the State Fair.
I came in. You know you got to I have
to like count the money every day, the dozens of
dollars we.

Speaker 2 (00:20):
Make every year.

Speaker 3 (00:22):
So I was just here on a Saturday morning, no makeup,
side ponytail because I'm not gonna see anybody listening to
something on the radio. Not sure what it was, dead air,
So I waited a little bit hideous and I was like,
all right, I'll wait, let's see if it comes back on.
Nothing's happening. Nothing's happening. I was like, all right, well,

(00:43):
I don't know how to fix it, but let me
go down there.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
I come in.

Speaker 3 (00:46):
It's like Devon's first day, and this poor kid, I'm
just like, how are we doing? Are you talking to them?
Have you called this person? And he's just like going
back and forth trying to get it figured out, And
I was like, I'm bored by the way.

Speaker 1 (00:59):
High poor Devon, thanks for opening that trauma again. Oh
I didn't hear about this. It was your first day
on the job, now.

Speaker 3 (01:06):
I was like, first week maybe, I don't know. And
was it what broadcast was supposed to be on? I
think it was it was high level programming. It was
I think worst case scenario, I believe.

Speaker 2 (01:20):
So oh the devastation of on that one. Oh no,
not that.

Speaker 3 (01:26):
And Brett was really cool. He went down the line like, hey,
just do this, and he was like, where is you started.

Speaker 1 (01:30):
Trying to figure out how to do Like, yeah, I
don't know if they call my SDN lines anymore, brick
links or whatever you call him, but that's what you're
trying to figure out.

Speaker 3 (01:35):
Correct pretty much. I was like, well, just just hit this,
just fired this, and he was like where is that?

Speaker 2 (01:40):
And it was oh, poor poor.

Speaker 1 (01:42):
Devin in radio came back Devon. I had a similar
experience my first day, so you are not alone. I
still remember my first time on the job was Thanksgiving
and I had to put like, you know, Detroit Lions, whoever,
let's watch Chicago Bears football game on. I had to
get in the air and eleven o'clock pops up and

(02:03):
I have no.

Speaker 2 (02:04):
Idea what I'm supposed to be doing. Just dead.

Speaker 1 (02:06):
Air program director calls me, walks me through it. But
there is just something about that position over there that
you never get the training you're supposed to get, and
you kind of just you get thrown into the fire.
And that's how you learn that you learn by just
absolutely bombing.

Speaker 3 (02:23):
Which I think is what I said, and I go.
The good news is this will never happen again, like
you'll know exactly what to do. So we'll just get
through this.

Speaker 2 (02:30):
It'll happen again.

Speaker 3 (02:31):
It'll happen again, but you'll.

Speaker 2 (02:33):
Swear on the microphone and you'll be fine.

Speaker 3 (02:35):
Fine, But but we made it through, and Devon's back.

Speaker 2 (02:40):
He's back.

Speaker 3 (02:41):
He's back. Didn't scare me off. Okay, great, what do
you got over there? We have three things loaded, I've reloaded.
Do you have stuff too? I have stuff that we'll
get to.

Speaker 1 (02:51):
I would say, it's great, Okay, I mean yes, keep
listening to the commercial break, it's gonna be great.

Speaker 3 (02:55):
Okay, let me give you three talkers and then okay,
maybe you and Devin can pick.

Speaker 2 (02:59):
Okay, here we.

Speaker 3 (03:00):
Oh, what is something ladies wish their partner would do?
Without asking?

Speaker 4 (03:06):
Could it be?

Speaker 2 (03:08):
We cannot read your minds? Guys?

Speaker 3 (03:10):
Which of these basic tasks can you actually do? Oh, boy,
unwanted hugs. You love the unwanted hugs topic. I think
because I know you. Let's move on to the unwanted
hugs topic. Let me tell you a little story about
what happened this week. Oh okay, the holetown knows. I

(03:32):
don't need to be hugged all the time. I hug
my fis. I hug my kids every day. Okay, but
that's my kids. And then when it comes to the workplace,
when I'm here, I always say to everybody, I hug
for weddings and babies, like those are celebratory things. I
gave you a hug on your wedding day. I hugged
sauce when you had a baby. That's fine, that's a

(03:53):
celebratory thing. Otherwise, I'm good. We see each other all
the time, if we go to lunch or a happy hour,
we don't need to hug when we're leaving.

Speaker 1 (04:04):
I'll see you tomorrow. Okay, what about side hug. No,
it's like kind of one arm around the shoulder.

Speaker 3 (04:11):
For what I'm good. I don't need it.

Speaker 1 (04:15):
Are you and I not friends outside of the word
have We're not bonded in the past at clubs.

Speaker 2 (04:19):
Yeah we have, we were younger. If if you saw
me here in.

Speaker 3 (04:22):
Like total distress, bad day, I was melting down and crying,
which I try every day stop, which I try not
to do at work. I don't try to sob cry
at work. Yeah, and you saw, like, Okay, I would
accept the hug really, but that's about it.

Speaker 2 (04:35):
Okay, like just general hugs when we're coming going.

Speaker 3 (04:40):
I don't need it. I don't even do it with
my close friends. They know that two new salespeople started
this week. Yeah, one of them. I was in her
interview and she did a great job. Really glad we
brought her on. So it says nothing to do with her, Okay,
I'm just.

Speaker 2 (04:58):
Like a pros like we already have a person rivalry.
But she did.

Speaker 3 (05:02):
She was a great interview. I did a set of three.
She was the best one out of the three. It
was awesome. A new sales guy hadn't met him before,
wasn't in the interview, so I don't know anything about him. Whatever. Yeah,
Monday morning, I come in, which everybody here knows. I
haven't had my second cup of coffee. I don't need
to do a lot of chatting. Fucking cup, I'm i

(05:24):
first one doesn't get you alert.

Speaker 2 (05:25):
No, I'm coming into the breakroom.

Speaker 3 (05:28):
I'm going to drop off my items in the fridge,
and then I'm going to go to my office and
see what kind of.

Speaker 2 (05:33):
Disasters I'm going to have today.

Speaker 3 (05:36):
So there's a group of hens sitting at the table
in the breakroom. New Gal is one of them. So
I walk up, I stick my hand out, Oh my gosh, welcome.
She goes right.

Speaker 2 (05:48):
Past my hands and comes in for the.

Speaker 3 (05:53):
She's so excited and said I just was like, oh god,
and all the other hens start laughing because they know
I want zero part of this.

Speaker 1 (06:02):
But a part of you almost has to like turn
down the hug to set the precedent that you don't
want future hugs.

Speaker 3 (06:07):
But I'm trying to It's her first day, and I
don't want to scare off, but I just I just
was like okay, and I kind of just lightly tapped.
All the sales gals are.

Speaker 2 (06:15):
Laughing and she's like, what what what? What am I missing?

Speaker 3 (06:18):
And they're like, she is the last person you should
be hugging right now. So then the next day, when
she saw me at the elevator. She came toward me
and she's like, do you want to hug again? And
she's all excited, Funny, we just won't be doing that.

Speaker 2 (06:30):
Not gonna work.

Speaker 3 (06:31):
It's just not gonna work for me. So she learned
that lesson. I was like, I'm really a friendly person,
but we don't need to hug. Huh.

Speaker 2 (06:39):
So, well, lots of people are huggers.

Speaker 3 (06:44):
They are, but that's part of my point, and this
is the story I have. Okay, just because that's a response. Sorry,
I'm just a hugger.

Speaker 1 (06:51):
So I will say day one, whether you're a hugger
or not. Correct, She doesn't know you well enough to
be out hugging at.

Speaker 2 (06:59):
Well, put the put the hands back.

Speaker 1 (07:01):
You and I are twenty five years into this thing, yep,
and we should be able to hug occasion.

Speaker 3 (07:05):
And you won't hug me, and I will if it's
totally necessary.

Speaker 2 (07:10):
She's if I get fired and then have to, will
you give me a hug?

Speaker 3 (07:13):
Yeah, okay, thank you, so I'll feel bad. She was
here for thirty minutes and then she did the I'm
a hugger. So then we talked about this later, like
that's a level hugging yes, So here's the story I
kind of have. We'll go a heuad.

Speaker 2 (07:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (07:27):
A woman took to Reddit to vent about an uncomfortable
situation she's having at work. The woman says one of
her coworkers greets her with full body hugs multiple times
a day. She says, the woman hugs her every single
time she sees me, whether it's in the hallway, the breakroom,
or even just passing by. At first, I tried doing
subtle things like avoiding contact, holding a coffee mug or

(07:49):
a folder, trying to avoid her path, but the hugs
kept coming. So finally the woman came up to her
arms all you know, wide out, and the woman said, hey,
can you not hug me all the time? I'm really
not comfortable with it. She's said it calmly, like wasn't
being rude about it, just just wanted to be kind

(08:13):
of straightforward. Ladies response, Oh sorry, I'm just a hugger, which, again,
that's your thing, that's not the other person's thing.

Speaker 2 (08:20):
It takes two to ten ago on the hug.

Speaker 3 (08:22):
So she just said, okay, but I'd prefer you didn't.
But now what's happening at work is the woman's avoiding her.
She's telling people she's uptight all of the things. So
she goes on the whole Reddit thread to be like,
am I in the wrong here?

Speaker 2 (08:38):
Or is hugger Helen? Hugger Helen? I side with the
non hugger. Shocking if you're one. I applaud that she.

Speaker 3 (08:50):
Actually had the cojones to say, Hey, I'm just not
a hugger? Can we not? I probably wouldn't do that,
even though I don't like it. It's like, Okay, I'll
give you your first hug and then let's not do
this again. But then she said I'm a hugger, as though,
well it should be okay because I'm a hugger, and
it's not.

Speaker 1 (09:06):
Again, No, that's not how that works. It's just not
how that we need to people to hug you. Are
you need consent? Consent on the hugging now, new sales gal.
If she's listening, still like, you got no beef with you.
I just thought it was hilarious that.

Speaker 3 (09:19):
I read the story today and that happened to me
Monday in the breakroom.

Speaker 2 (09:23):
And I will be a hugger.

Speaker 1 (09:25):
But I don't know her well enough to be on
the I mean, we're not on the hugging level, right, Like,
as someone who does password every week on Fridays, We'll
get a variety of guests that'll come in that you've
seen a handful of times. I'm not like necessarily best
friends with them. I'm not calling them asking them how
their kids are doing, right, Like, we're not on that level.
But it's more than just the surface coworker level, right right.

(09:49):
So like even like Marnie, Like I think Marnie would
take a hug if I gave her a hug.

Speaker 3 (09:54):
Marnie wants to hup.

Speaker 2 (09:55):
I don't know where we are on our hugging level,
you know what I mean?

Speaker 3 (09:59):
Yes, So that.

Speaker 1 (10:00):
Happens quite a bit with me, it does, and I don't.

Speaker 2 (10:02):
Want to be rude.

Speaker 3 (10:02):
So like every time Amelia comes in, she always wants
a big hug. I always hug her because I don't
get to see her that much.

Speaker 2 (10:10):
That's fine.

Speaker 1 (10:13):
But I'll take a hug from Frank.

Speaker 3 (10:18):
He leaks like a good hugger. He'd grip you for
a long time.

Speaker 1 (10:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (10:21):
Yeah, But.

Speaker 3 (10:24):
If you're seeing somebody every day in the workplace, you
just don't need to hug.

Speaker 1 (10:30):
But I think that's why there's a little gray area
here because for me co workers, it's like this is
a professional environment, yes, right, like even though we're all
seeing each other all the time, like we're not necessarily
all best friends, but there is let's face it, like
relationships come out of coworkers. Some of your best friends
come out of co workers. So there does come a

(10:50):
point because you're seeing you're around these people so often
that that coworker relationship then can bleed into friendship or.

Speaker 2 (11:00):
Relationship.

Speaker 1 (11:01):
Yeah yeah, baby, right, So then there is this to
feel like in the office place, there is a little
bit of gray area sometimes as too, well, what line
are we crossing here in terms of friendship or am
I just there's obviously plenty of coworkers here that I
would be like Andrew Metzen, we're not hugging.

Speaker 3 (11:16):
We're not hugging. Sorry, Devin, I see you are. I
would not hug out keeing your pants right now because
the station's off the air. I'm not gonna hug you
and comfort you. But I will stand here and wait
and see if you need anything to help you. But
I'm not going to hug you.

Speaker 2 (11:28):
My goal is you got to hug out at you
at abbit one day Okay, did he not hug you
at your wedding? I don't remember. I don't recall. We
gotta go to break.

Speaker 3 (11:38):
Well, let's do it.

Speaker 1 (11:39):
You and I are gonna hug during the commercial break
when we come back. I kind of want to do
a little blind rink with you. Yeah again, we'll do
blind Rank. So, Devin, you got a keyword over there?

We'll be with me, Tennant B and the ten of Fitzgerald.
Devon's with us as well. Are you ready?

Speaker 3 (12:56):
I'm ready. It's time for blind.

Speaker 4 (13:01):
Rank.

Speaker 2 (13:05):
Might have to lower that a little bit. They're Devin's
coming in hot.

Speaker 1 (13:07):
There we go, just a total banger. We know how
blind rank works by now right. Yes, I'm going to
give you a topic with ten different items. You need
to rank them one through ten, one being the best,
ten being the worst. But the part of the game
that you don't know is you are blind as to
what the next next ones they're going to be after you? Okap, Yes,
I have a feeling you and I have something in common.

(13:29):
We both love job rule Murder. Yeah, I could do
job real blind rank. I feel like you like reality
television shows, you know, like bad reality television.

Speaker 2 (13:42):
Hello Housewives? All right, so we are going to rank.

Speaker 1 (13:47):
They're not necessarily the ten best because I think it's
all subjective, but I want you to rank the best
reality television shows of all time? Okay, are you ready?
One through ten? First one keeping up with the Kardashians.

Speaker 3 (14:02):
Two.

Speaker 2 (14:03):
Really you like them that much? Why is that?

Speaker 3 (14:07):
I don't know that I necessarily like it because, to
be honest, I don't even watch it anymore. I'll just
catch up like clips on Instagram. But that kind of
I don't want to say started it, because I think
the Osbourne started it. The Jessica Simpson and Nicholas Shay
kind of started the whole reality thing. But what it
has been wrong? But I'll tell you later.

Speaker 2 (14:25):
Okay, real World.

Speaker 3 (14:28):
Oh wait, now I might want to change my answer.

Speaker 1 (14:31):
No, I'm gonna say you just said you don't watch them,
and you just put them at number two weeks.

Speaker 2 (14:34):
It's too but because look at.

Speaker 3 (14:36):
What it has, what it has done over the what
has it been like twenty years? Yeah, and it's an
empire what they've shown. I mean there's there's stuff. They
let them, they let them record it gets they're not
hiding stuff. And now that is an empire. It is
so just based on that. That doesn't mean it's good.

(14:56):
That's it's good. Yeah too.

Speaker 2 (14:59):
All right, you've got keeping up with the Kardashians at
number two.

Speaker 3 (15:02):
Ye.

Speaker 1 (15:02):
Survivor kind of more of a game show reality. Yeah, no,
you don't like Survivor not really. In the beginning I
got into I love the first one, Yeah, and then
I kind of say, faded away from it.

Speaker 3 (15:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (15:14):
Yeah, nine nine for Survivor. By the way, favorite Kardashian
before we move.

Speaker 3 (15:21):
On, it's evolved. I think Chloe is the most normal,
isn't she? Because Chloe is a totally different person, and
I don't know. I think I've talked about it on
the show before. Whatever you think about Kim Kardashian, watch
her interview with David Letterman on his Netflix series It's
called My Next Guest Needs No Introduction. It's an amazing series,

(15:42):
but he interviews her. Yeah, it will make you think
about her completely different way. I don't think she's I
just have a little more respect for her. And then
when she.

Speaker 2 (15:55):
She's playing more of a character on her show, Yep,
she's very real.

Speaker 3 (15:58):
And then she goes very depth about what happened to
her when she got robbed in Paris, and I was
just like tears rolling down my face. It's really good.
I highly recommend watching that interview.

Speaker 1 (16:09):
Are keeping up with the Kardashian's at two? Survivor at nine?
A little bit newer show? I get, not that new,
but a little more recent. Love is Blind?

Speaker 3 (16:18):
Haven't watched it, but I know it's a long age.
I know you've never watched Love is Blind? No, I haven't.

Speaker 1 (16:22):
They just they were just here in Minneapolis. I'm the
last one I know. That's probably one of the worst ones.
Six six Do you think if you hadn't met mister
B do you think you could ever go on a
reality show in which you are dating people behind a wall,
You're not seeing them, You're just having conversations behind a wall,
and then you are getting proposed to before ever seeing them.

(16:44):
Before that concept, do you think you could be a
part of it.

Speaker 3 (16:46):
If I was twenty two to twenty five, sure you would. Yeah, sure,
why not?

Speaker 2 (16:49):
You would?

Speaker 1 (16:49):
You wouldn't propose you would be engaged without ever seeing them?

Speaker 3 (16:52):
Yeah, why not try anything?

Speaker 4 (16:55):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (16:55):
Next one is Naked and Afraid. By the way, you two,
six and nine. So far have you seen naked in
an I've seen a couple.

Speaker 3 (17:06):
Eight.

Speaker 1 (17:06):
Yeah, I didn't get past it. A couple episodes of
Once you've seen one, you've seen them all.

Speaker 3 (17:10):
It's not that great.

Speaker 2 (17:11):
I have the same thing, is it alone?

Speaker 1 (17:15):
Where like they have to just basically stay alive for
as long as they can with very limited supplies and
dangerous areas, And like I started watching the first season
and after a WHI, I'm like, all right, I'm kind
of watching the same thing all over again. Yeah, and
they did are just being tortured the amazing race, Oh
my god?

Speaker 3 (17:32):
Ten?

Speaker 2 (17:33):
Ten?

Speaker 3 (17:34):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (17:36):
Is that one still on? It's got to be so on.

Speaker 1 (17:38):
I feel like every time I'm watching football there's still
promotions for that one.

Speaker 3 (17:41):
Pretty sure?

Speaker 1 (17:42):
Is The Real World, which was the first reality show
that ever happened. It changed the game. I'll have it
happen on a music station. I'll go three, you go three,
for Real World. Real World was really good. It turned
into you know, they added road Rules after that, and
then it turned into the road Rules Challenge. Now it's

(18:03):
the Challenge. The Challenge to this day is my favorite
television show of any type. I've watched every Challenge episode
that's ever occurred.

Speaker 3 (18:11):
The Challenge has been having a moment over the last
couple of years. It's been every year, I think it
kind of forever, but it kind of bounced back up
in popularity a little bit, to the point where like
even the young ones that work out here on the
floor that didn't watch The Real World watch it. Yeah,
and they don't have any history of it. They don't know.

Speaker 1 (18:29):
Where it can Well now they're just drawing people from
reality shows, so they're not going just from real Obviously
Real World and Road Rules don't even exist anymore. Yeah,
all right, so you've done two, three, six, eight, nine, tens.
You got one, four, five and seven to go. Okay,
The Real Housewives Number one, baby?

Speaker 2 (18:44):
Really?

Speaker 3 (18:44):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (18:45):
Is there a specific Real Housewives that's number one for you?
And a specific Housewife.

Speaker 3 (18:52):
People?

Speaker 2 (18:53):
Is it Orange County that's the popular one?

Speaker 3 (18:54):
Orange County is good. Beverly Hills is the best one,
but Beverly Hills.

Speaker 2 (18:59):
Yes, that's what I think.

Speaker 1 (19:00):
Salt Lake City, one gallon, Beverly Hills. Bothers me a lot.
I don't remember her name.

Speaker 3 (19:03):
Which one the least attractive one, the least attractive?

Speaker 2 (19:08):
Yeah, what's their name? I don't know her name. I
would need to.

Speaker 3 (19:10):
I don't know which one's on their soton.

Speaker 2 (19:12):
I don't know, I would, I might even know. I
might have the wrong location at this moment.

Speaker 3 (19:16):
But don't sleep on Salt Lake City, Salt Lake City.
It's very interesting with the Mormon culture background. Literally one
out of the six r Mormon half of them have
been like excommunicated from the church because of things that
have happened in the watch Sister wives never did what?

(19:36):
Never did?

Speaker 2 (19:37):
My gut watched that for in a long time. Awful.

Speaker 1 (19:43):
I tell her, I have a hard enough time with
one wife. I don't think I can name four or
five of them.

Speaker 2 (19:47):
I don't.

Speaker 1 (19:49):
American idol, So you got four or five and seven
remaining here?

Speaker 3 (19:56):
American idol in the very beginning ground first year, ground breaking.
Now yeah, now, no, what are we doing here? Right?

Speaker 1 (20:07):
So? How should the same thing with me? For the voice,
I watched the voice religiously for a long time, and
now I'm I'm bored of it?

Speaker 3 (20:15):
What do I have left? Four?

Speaker 2 (20:16):
Five, four five and seven.

Speaker 3 (20:22):
Five?

Speaker 2 (20:22):
Five?

Speaker 1 (20:23):
All right, we have two to go. You have four
and seven? Jersey Shore. Did you watch that one?

Speaker 2 (20:30):
I did?

Speaker 1 (20:30):
Yeah? That was really good. I feel like the age
difference for me and you is like appropriate for like
your group would have watched that more than my group put.

Speaker 3 (20:39):
Yeah, I just didn't do it far you were to
put it because I'm trying to decide which one you
have left.

Speaker 1 (20:46):
Well, I mean, there's infinite options here, and there's so
many you want to need though we could have done
like blind ring to one hundred and three.

Speaker 2 (20:54):
You're going for it with Jersey Shore, let's do it.

Speaker 1 (20:56):
That means at number seven you will pick the Bachelor.
Oh yeah, the Bachelor at number seven. That's actually the
perfect spot.

Speaker 3 (21:04):
That's with that. Yeah?

Speaker 2 (21:06):
Would you have ever gone on the Bachelor? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (21:08):
Why not?

Speaker 2 (21:08):
You would have?

Speaker 3 (21:09):
Yeah, they're all famous after they all get like, oh,
that's all you're doing it for now, just to be
famous and not to find love. No, mommy's got to
make some money support myself, all.

Speaker 1 (21:16):
Right, So you picked the Real Housewives one Keeping Up
with the Kardashians two, Real World three, Jersey Shore four.
I'm starting to get a sense of your taste in
reality shows American Idol five, Love Is Blind six, The Bachelor, seven,
Naked and Afraid eight, Survivor nine, Amazing Race ten.

Speaker 2 (21:30):
You think that's all pretty accurate. That's pretty accurate.

Speaker 3 (21:33):
Yeah. You didn't say the Osbourne's and you didn't say
Newly Woods with Nick and Jessica.

Speaker 1 (21:38):
Oh gosh, come on, oh come on? Did you what
about the Hills? Oh god, the hills so good? Laguna Beach,
Laguna Beach. I avoid those those types of shows. Jersey
Shore not for me.

Speaker 3 (21:50):
I'm not going to win.

Speaker 1 (21:52):
You grew up on a farm, right, yeah, the whole time, Devin.
You're a farmer, correct, Is that right?

Speaker 4 (21:56):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (21:57):
It's time to find out how much you two know
about farming.

Speaker 1 (21:59):
Oh dear, we're gonna do some farming trivia on the
other side of the break. We'll be on the ten. Fitzgerald.

(22:27):
Oh boy, you grew up on a farm.

Speaker 3 (22:29):
I did.

Speaker 2 (22:32):
Would you consider yourself a farmer?

Speaker 3 (22:34):
Not anymore? No, my dad, it's been a long time.

Speaker 2 (22:38):
Devin. You've still farm, do you not? You're still helping
out on the farm.

Speaker 5 (22:41):
Ye, what are you Mankato area area?

Speaker 3 (22:46):
What do you farm? Corn? So ibeans same seas.

Speaker 2 (22:50):
Got any livestock?

Speaker 3 (22:52):
No, we did about five years ago, but got rid
of it not making any money. No heard that.

Speaker 1 (22:57):
I feel like most of this conversation, I'm not gonna
have a clue what's going on? Same, I'm just a
suburban boy that has no idea what farm life is like.
Are you guys ready for a farming tribune?

Speaker 2 (23:07):
Let's just do it?

Speaker 3 (23:09):
Oh my god, my dad's listening in the combine right now.

Speaker 1 (23:11):
Everything's multiple choice. At least that's helpful. We're gonna see
how much you guys know about farming.

Speaker 2 (23:17):
Now.

Speaker 1 (23:18):
I know zero about farming. So these questions might be
extremely easy. You can tone that down a little bit.
They're death and anything, or they might be challenging. I
don't know, Okay, all right? What crop produces the most
cash for American farmers? Is it a potatoes, b corn,
sea wheat, or d apples? Blank stares over here? Corn

(23:44):
Devon's going corn. They'll be what are you doing?

Speaker 3 (23:48):
I'm gonna say potatoes?

Speaker 1 (23:51):
Correct answer is corn? Devin is correct. Corn represents around
forty six annual sales for US farmers.

Speaker 2 (24:01):
According to the USDA.

Speaker 1 (24:04):
Question number two, which type of livestock produces the most
money for US farmers? Is it a cattle? P or
B pigs, c chickens, d goats?

Speaker 3 (24:18):
Cattle?

Speaker 1 (24:20):
Well, be's going cattle, Devin, let's go pigs. As a
non farmer, my guest would have been chickens here, Oh no,
what everyone needs chicken it's everywhere. Correct answer is cattle. Yeah, obviously,
because they're much bigger. I'm assuming.

Speaker 2 (24:37):
Yeah, just marda.

Speaker 1 (24:39):
Yeah, you guys can add on to the farming conversation.

Speaker 2 (24:43):
I can't.

Speaker 3 (24:43):
I'll tell you is so we we used to have
cattle and pigs. Got rid of the pigs when I
was eighteen because the prices were just so bad. Okay,
we never had cows. So having cows is different than
having steers. Do you know what the difference is? Tenna,
I will not give you multiple ti, don't ask me
the difference. What's the difference between a cow and a steer?

(25:04):
Just you have to guess something.

Speaker 2 (25:07):
I guess it's either male or female or it's been.

Speaker 3 (25:13):
Here we go.

Speaker 2 (25:15):
Has castrated the right word?

Speaker 3 (25:16):
Yep, So okay, well it can be true, so one
has hoots and one doesn't. Okay, but having cows is
an entirely different smell than having pigs or steers. Hideous.

Speaker 2 (25:28):
Really can't get rid of it.

Speaker 1 (25:29):
So if it's so expensive and we're like, who's who's
actually having all these cows?

Speaker 3 (25:33):
Then I mean people, I mean there's people still have
them here, but like Montana, the Dakotas.

Speaker 2 (25:40):
But you do know a lot about farming. I was
expecting Devin to know more.

Speaker 3 (25:44):
Than you, and this, well, I think Devin's scared to talk,
and that's okay. Don't be scared to talk, Devin. Yeah, Devin,
come on, I don't know anything.

Speaker 1 (25:49):
Being willing to embarrass yourself as half of being on
this show. I'm clearly going to be embarrassing myself time
about farms, all right.

Speaker 2 (25:57):
I don't even know what this means.

Speaker 1 (25:58):
Okay, what does a wise armor do with a supply
of dent corn A throw it away, B eat it
for dinner, C burn it, d feed it to livestock.
D that's quick answer.

Speaker 2 (26:14):
Can you give me the choices one more time?

Speaker 1 (26:15):
Throw it away, eat it for dinner, burn it, feed
it to livestock. Livestock, feed it to livestock is correct,
believe it or not. Only around one percent of all
us corn is sweet corn, the kind you can eat.

Speaker 2 (26:26):
That blew my mind.

Speaker 3 (26:27):
Yeah, so commoners like you who don't know anything about farming. Yes,
when you hear that people have corn and soybeans, you
you're probably automatically thinking it's sweet corn. Not even close.
Never sweet corn. No, never sweet corn, sealing corn. I like, right, yeah,
but the corn that we have is in hundreds and
hundreds thousands of food all across the country and whatever,

(26:48):
so it's it's hard. It doesn't grow like sweet corn.
The difference is the tassels. What the tassels, not those
we're talking about corn? Yeah, okay, corn tassels on sweet corn?
Like what grows on the top sure looks like a star,
like an asterisk kind of huh. And corn that Devin
and I are familiar with does not look like that

(27:09):
when it grows.

Speaker 2 (27:10):
You're welcome, very interesting. I don't even know what this means.

Speaker 1 (27:15):
Which of these pH ranges is ideal for most crops?
Is it A two point oh to three point zero,
B four point oh to five point zero see six
point oh to seven point zero or D.

Speaker 2 (27:25):
Nine point ohut to ten point zero. What does pH
range mean?

Speaker 3 (27:32):
Sounds scientific and I'm bad at science.

Speaker 1 (27:35):
It's some sort of like water chemical mixture. You're going
to see six point oh to seven point zero. I
don't feel good about it, but I don't feel good
about any of this. I'll say D Devon's pretty good.
It is six point oh to seven point oh. He
got it exactly correct. How long does a chicken egg
have to incubate before it will hatch? A three days,

(27:57):
B ten days, C twenty one days or D ninety days?

Speaker 2 (28:02):
Read it one more time for me?

Speaker 1 (28:04):
How long does a chicken egg have to incubate before
it will hatch? Three days, ten days, twenty one days,
and ninety days.

Speaker 3 (28:11):
Ten days twenty one lot be on the bar.

Speaker 2 (28:15):
Twenty one days is correct? Turkey egg requires twenty eight days?

Speaker 3 (28:20):
Is that right?

Speaker 2 (28:20):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (28:23):
Which of these is an agricultural term related to the
practice of breeding and caring for livestock A ecology, B
agro forestry, see husbandry, or D hydroponics.

Speaker 3 (28:39):
One more time.

Speaker 1 (28:40):
It's funny someone like me who knows nothing about these terms,
But I feel like I'm good at doing multiple choice
and figuring it out. I was dead wrong on this
chic ecology, agro forestry, husbandry or hydroponics the first one. Yeah, ecology,
that's wrong. I would have guessed hydroponics. That's wrong. I
thought husbandry was a joke, but apparently it's husbandry.

Speaker 3 (29:04):
I think I've heard that somewhere. I have never heard.

Speaker 1 (29:06):
The practice involves determining the best ways to breed, raise,
and care for livestock with like cattle and goats.

Speaker 2 (29:11):
Many farmers are experts.

Speaker 1 (29:12):
In this field, either through experience or through extensive schooling.

Speaker 2 (29:17):
All right, to do one more sure?

Speaker 1 (29:19):
Many crops are planted in rows for efficiency, but not
all crops are row crops. What characteristic defines a true
roe cop row crop? A harvested by hand, B grows
on a tree, C harvested mechanically, or d annuals Only.

Speaker 2 (29:41):
You guys are embarrassing.

Speaker 1 (29:41):
I think it's the farmers are going C harvested mechanically.

Speaker 3 (29:45):
That's what I was going to say.

Speaker 1 (29:47):
That is correct, correct answer, harvest. Great job, guys, you
that was fun. You guys are aren't too bad at
the Did you have a great time researching those? Do
you feel like I just doid it from a website
I learned I learned something today, which means we should play.

Speaker 2 (30:04):
The more you know, we'll be if.

Speaker 1 (30:10):
There was a an artist, well, I can't remembly be
an artist, and I have to be like a band
or group. I guess band or group that you'd like
to see a reunion tour out of right right now?
Oasis got to be back together doing a reunion tour.
What's on the top of your mind as a reunion tour.

Speaker 3 (30:25):
I would have said Oasis. Actually, I wish I could
see one of those shows.

Speaker 1 (30:29):
I feel like Oasis is like three songs I like,
and then all right, what are we doing here with
the rest of the concert?

Speaker 2 (30:36):
I mean, wonder Wall is a banger.

Speaker 3 (30:37):
Oh god, it's so good.

Speaker 2 (30:38):
Don't look back at Anger is extremely good.

Speaker 3 (30:40):
Champagne Supernova, that's right.

Speaker 2 (30:43):
I don't know what they're talking about, but I.

Speaker 3 (30:45):
Mean, the only one that everybody keeps talking about is
in sync because they haven't.

Speaker 1 (30:50):
But I likes Timberlake kind of fallen off a little
bit now where maybe he could lower himself.

Speaker 2 (30:54):
Back to that level.

Speaker 3 (30:55):
Yes, he might need a little to get him back
in people's good grows races. I think like physically or no,
like he needs some good press.

Speaker 2 (31:05):
Is he had some bad press?

Speaker 4 (31:05):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (31:06):
Or just no press? He had bad press?

Speaker 3 (31:09):
Has he been after he got cut holding hands with
that woman that he was like doing it shooting a
movie with.

Speaker 2 (31:14):
What was that? That was a few years ago.

Speaker 1 (31:17):
It was because he's married to Jessic Biele, correct, and
he was holding under the.

Speaker 3 (31:22):
Table, yes, and someone doing that. They have kids, they
have two kids, yep. So that was a few years
ago when he was shooting a movie. Then he them
she's still with him.

Speaker 2 (31:36):
Then he had the.

Speaker 3 (31:38):
The dewey that turned out not to be a dub.
He had, like he said, a martini he was in
the Hampton's got pulled over and then they they ended
up saying it wasn't that his blood alcohol wasn't high enough.
Tour didn't sell well, that just came through, canceled multiple dates.
He was sick. I've been doing this at a high life.

Speaker 1 (32:00):
You said the quote things with their fingers. By the way,
for the people listening on the radio that couldn't see
you do that.

Speaker 3 (32:04):
Well, I paused so that people could just assume that
that's what I was doing. I've been doing this a
long time.

Speaker 2 (32:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (32:09):
Do you know how many people I've seen get sick
sure before their concert. Yeah, look at their ticket sales
before they get sick and see if.

Speaker 1 (32:18):
They're actually sure. It's the old you know, when a
golfer goes out and shoots a seven over day one,
professional golfer, and then day two they're already off to
like three straight bogies.

Speaker 2 (32:30):
They know they're not making the cut.

Speaker 1 (32:33):
Oh my back's acting up, Bomby, I'm not gonna be
able to finish this tournament.

Speaker 3 (32:37):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (32:37):
That's basically what that is.

Speaker 3 (32:38):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (32:38):
His Man of the Woods Tour not great.

Speaker 3 (32:40):
It kind of started, That's what kind of started it,
and then these little things kept happening and happening and happening.

Speaker 2 (32:45):
M he was a pretty big deal for a while.

Speaker 1 (32:48):
He was on time, and he did like some acting
sub He was great. Bleep in a Box is a great,
one of the best skits of all time. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (32:55):
His super Bowl performance was awesome.

Speaker 3 (32:58):
But he made some dumb choices.

Speaker 1 (33:00):
Okay, well I have a group of throw out for you. Then, okay,
how about spice girls? Are you not a spice girl?

Speaker 2 (33:10):
I didn't get into it, really no.

Speaker 1 (33:12):
I would have bet a million dollars a year. It
seems like right your wheelhouse.

Speaker 3 (33:16):
It totally was listen to the songs on the radio,
thought they were great. Never purchased an album or like
when you could buy Member just the singles on a CD.

Speaker 2 (33:24):
Ever did that? No, do you like when two become one?

Speaker 3 (33:29):
It's just okay for me.

Speaker 2 (33:32):
I get we want to Be is a good song.

Speaker 3 (33:33):
Yeah, they're all of they're great songs. I don't know
what they're talking about, but yeah, that tour would do
very well. So I don't care. Like I've seen. I
would love new kids on the block. They've done it.
Backstreet Boys, they've done it. Boys to Men still touring,
also down one of the boys. Yes, so it wouldn't
be the same. Victoria Beckham joined the Radio Andy.

Speaker 2 (33:54):
Show and.

Speaker 1 (33:58):
The idea of a Spice Girls union was discussed with her. First,
she says to Andy Cohen, she's fifty one, by the way. Now,
Before I was in the Spice Girls, I was so
self conscious and they made me feel that I was
good enough. But being on stage I realized, as fun
as it is, you know, it's not ultimately what I
want to do anymore. When coz John Hill wondered aloud
about a Spice Girl's reunion just like Oasis. Recently, she

(34:20):
said it's tempting, it would be tempting, But could I
take on a world tour?

Speaker 2 (34:24):
I can't. I have a job.

Speaker 1 (34:26):
She also added, oh my god, the Sphere is amazing.
How good would the Spice Girls be at the Sphere.
She noted that she loves the idea of another round
of Spice Girl concerts, but said quote, I mean I
don't know if I could even still sing wow. I
mean I was never that great self aware props to her,
because her role on the Spice Girls was not to
be the singer correct. She also has a docu series,

(34:48):
Apparently Yet, where she revealed that her husband David Beckham
guilted her into doing the Spice Girls reunion tour in
two thousand and eight. David was like, it was really
good for the kids to see you do this. She
said that he mum guilted me. She said, I hadn't
been posh Spice for such a long time. It was
good to be back with them talking about that tour.

(35:08):
So it doesn't sound like she's about it, doesn't. She
created an empire as well.

Speaker 3 (35:16):
She did. She's got tons of brands, clothing, fragrance, all
this stuff.

Speaker 2 (35:21):
She's good.

Speaker 3 (35:23):
Melby is good because they've done they've gone on to
do other.

Speaker 2 (35:26):
Shs like reality show hosting, right.

Speaker 3 (35:28):
Yeah, and it wasn't and maybe she still is. She
might be on the voice. But she did one of
those shows that she hit, the one with the America's
Got Talent maybe three, Yeah, maybe it's that one. So
I think those two are like, we don't really need
to we have now the other ones sporty spice. What's
she doing? Probably nothing? Could use a tour. They would crush.
They would make money, of course they would. They were

(35:50):
the Sphere, they would crush. It would be My wife.

Speaker 1 (35:52):
Would buy tickets now, it would be sold out going
to Vegas for the Sphere.

Speaker 3 (35:56):
She did it for Yeah, So I think some probably
would love to do it more than others because they
want that straight cash homie.

Speaker 2 (36:05):
Sure, all right, well thank you for joining. This is
fine for an entire hour. I appreciate it. You're better
at farm trivia than I anticipated. What do you mean?
And maybe we'll have a program pass. We're back next Friday.

Speaker 1 (36:15):
Love it when the Common Band returns sounds good bye
by We're we have two guests in the next hour
at two thirty, Justin Guards going to join us, a
previous Gophers Nebraska. He'll be live from hunting to Bank Stadium,
but we're going out to the east coast of the
nation's capital to speak with Joe O'Donnell, play by play
voice for the Wild that radio network Wild against the
Capital sinnight at six.

Speaker 2 (36:35):
We'll talk with Joe next
