Speaker 4 (01:08):
Last week when it was hot, we were creeping up
on one hundred degrees a few days last week. Doesn't
that feel like it was six weeks away?

Speaker 5 (01:15):

Speaker 4 (01:15):

a feel good ee time. Monday today our here is
what you missed highlights.

Speaker 1 (02:19):
How about you read.

Speaker 2 (02:22):
TV, the entertainment world and whatever. Here's what you missed
on Excel ninety three.

Speaker 1 (02:29):
Well, this could have been a lot worse.

Speaker 4 (02:30):
An investigation underway on what caused a Mexican Navy ship
to veer off course and have its lighted masks strike
the Brooklyn Bridge Saturday night. The accident killed two sailors
ninjured more than a dozen others on board. Here are
witnesses to the crash and NYPD Chief of Special Operations
Wilson Ambulus.

Speaker 6 (02:52):
Right.

Speaker 5 (02:52):
We saw clearly that the mass was too high and
we saw people, unfortunately dangling. There are people on the
masks like there are people like all standing on the masks.
They're like holding lights. Obviously when the mask got hit,
there are people dangling, and I think at least one
or two people we saw it like fall down.

Speaker 7 (03:06):
The captain that was maneuvering the ship lost I guess
power of the ship and the current mechanical function caused
the ship to go right into the pillar of the bridge,
hitting the mass of the ship where there was a
couple of sailors on top of it. These sailors were
injured as a result of the mask striking the bridge.

Speaker 4 (03:30):
Mexican Navy ship masks hitting the sound of the Brooklyn
Bridge happening Saturday nights, once again killing two sailors injuring
more than a dozen others on board.

Speaker 1 (03:40):
But it could have been a lot worse.

Shouldn't be too difficult.

Speaker 1 (08:00):
Days a win. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (08:03):
Threads of the trivity in xcelmty three Facebook pages will
take a little.

Speaker 1 (08:06):
Look see if some of those rolling in here.

Speaker 4 (08:07):
Shortly, stranger smiles that you're on the street, what would
you do? Return the smile? Hopefully, hopefully you're not going
to punch that smirk right off their face. Not in
these parts. It's not the North Dakota Minnesota way. A
pole found the average person smiles that a stranger five
times a week, and being on the receiving end of

(08:28):
a random smile lifts their spirits for an average of
thirteen minutes.

Speaker 1 (08:32):
But it's not true for everybody.

Speaker 4 (08:35):
One in six people say they rarely are never return
a smile from a stranger, often because they're skeptical about
that person's motives, like, is this jerk with a grin
about to stab me? I guess I wouldn't think that'd
be the thing in North Dakota, Minnesota, but who knows.
Other reasons for not returning a smile include you're afraid
it'll be weird, you're in a rush, you're too embarrassed,

(08:58):
and you just weren't paying attention so the moment passed.

Speaker 1 (09:01):
Get do it too late. But whether it's a stranger
of friends.

Speaker 4 (09:04):
Seeing someone else smile made the list of the top
things they can immediately make you smile. See if This
is a checklist for you being on vacation, hopefully waking
up to a sunny day. Do we appreciate nice weather
around here?

Speaker 1 (09:18):
Or do we appreciate it?

Speaker 4 (09:21):
It still blows my mind people complain about the heat
around here. We have about three hundred and fifty days
that aren't hot in the Red River Valley. Things that
immediately make a smile, receiving a kind gesture on the list,
someone else smiling at you as we talked about hearing
good news about a loved one. You got to be
happy for other people, making someone else laugh or grim,

(09:44):
getting a surprise gift, winning money? How can that not
make you smile, as we prove every single day. I
think money does by happiness. Receiving a thank you, Those
unexpected thank yous are so nice, and spending time outside
in the sun doing whatever you're doing. Isn't it more
pleasant to do yard work than, say, deal with snow
in the winter. That seems like the biggest wasted time

(10:06):
of the course of the year, shoveling snow, moving snow
the weather's not very comfortable, and just making piles of snow,
not to mention wasting valuable minutes mowing the lawn not
a bad task comparison to shoveling the snow.

Speaker 2 (10:21):
And I'm much trending testag trending on Excel ninety three.

Speaker 4 (10:29):
Let me get all up in your kitchen today, in
particular your microwave. You're eating something up, don't think twice
of it.

Speaker 1 (10:39):
You heat it up.

Speaker 4 (10:39):
Doesn't taste as good as it as it did the
first time around. That's leftovers. Well, there are some things
that you never go in.

Speaker 1 (10:47):
The microwave, and I'm here to help you out with those.
Some of these you probably were aware of.

Speaker 4 (10:53):
Did you know microwaves can cook food unevenly, leading two
cold spots.

Speaker 1 (10:58):
According to Michigan State University.

Speaker 4 (10:59):
These cold spots allow harmful bacteria to survive during the
reheating process. So gross. Yes, maybe it's the time saves.
Not worth it after all, But if you're going to
new things anyway, here are five foods experts say never
put these in the microwave, and they start with hard
boiled eggs build steam within the egg and can lead

(11:22):
to an eruption whenever the egg is cut into, or
even worse, when you butt into all egg explosion could happen.
Don't reheat hard boiled eggs. Foods rich in vitamin C
like broccoli, bel peppers, berries, leafy greens. I don't know
why you eat put berries in the microwave. What exposed
to heat though the vitamin C is destroyed. It's recommended

(11:43):
to eat these raw whenever possible. You always here too.
Cooked vegetables aren't as good for you as raw vegetables
these ones. Maybe you're aware of chicken foods safety wise,
reheating chicken is safe, but it won't be tasty. All
the moisture of bapp rays, leaving the chicken with a
weird taste and textures. It's rubbery, right, seafood, don't be
that guy or girl who puts seafood in the microwave.

(12:06):
It works, your office smells like your lunch for the
next three days, and it's guaranteed to dry it out.
It's from the sea, so high heat is not ideal.
Unless you like rubbery fish, then go for it. And finally, steak,
don't microwave steak. If you microwave steak, it causes on
an even uneven reheat. It'll dry out in certain spots
while other parts remain cool. Foods that should never be

(12:27):
reheated in the microwave. All right, I'll leave your kitchen
right now. Those are up at excelntty three dot com
trivity page. That is hashtag trending. Bet you didn't know.

Speaker 2 (12:38):
Random facts coming at you now, that's xl ntty three.

Speaker 1 (12:43):
Run to you mind the Blue Moose Barn drill.

Speaker 4 (12:45):
Take five dollars off your favorite burger every Monday, starting
at five. That's the Blue Moose. Seas Grand Forks as
we jump into bed. You didn't know today? Random facts
like South Korea. If you're a BTS fan, you probably
know they have compulsory military service. Every male aged eighteen
to thirty five has to serve for two years, and

(13:08):
there are very few ways to get out of it.
But one of them is winning an Olympic matter. Betch
didn't know.

Speaker 1 (13:18):
The first.

Speaker 4 (13:21):
Adults movie Haber hardcore adult movie is from nineteen fifteen.

Speaker 1 (13:26):
It's called a Free Ride.

Speaker 4 (13:28):
A guy driving down rural road picks up two women
who need a ride and will standard adult activity action
ensues nineteen fifteen though nineteen fifteen. All right, I feel
like to get your mental sweat on. Maybe a fold
the dictionary to read from time to time. The last
word in the Oxford English Dictionary is zzbach zyzzyva is

(13:53):
how one spells it. It's a type of tropical weavil
in South America that zebak. I think it's complicated now
switching clocks back and forth. Now there's the North Dakota
debate of just living out on standard time that got
shot down. It used to be, really that wouldn't be

(14:14):
very confusing having a different time in East Grand Forks compared.

Speaker 1 (14:17):
To the south of the River.

Speaker 4 (14:18):
The US, though, used to have more time zones than
we do now, a lot more. In the early eighteen hundred,
cities concept their own time based on the sun, and
there were one hundred and forty four separate time zones.
We got down to four in the continent to US
by eighteen eighty three, and.

Speaker 1 (14:37):
Finally bench didn't know.

Speaker 4 (14:38):
As of twenty twenty two, the four minute mile mark
has been broken by at least one seven hundred and
fifty five athletes since it was first achieved in nineteen
fifty four by Roger Banister. That translates to an average
speed of fifteen miles an hour, but no woman has
yet to run a four minute mile. The women's world
record is currently four minutes, seven points four seconds, set

(15:01):
by Faith Kapee again of Kenya in July of twenty
twenty three four minute mile. I think I struggled to
drive that sometimes random facts, now you know excel not
eighty three?

Speaker 1 (15:14):
Hi, you have a call it Wonner?

Speaker 6 (15:16):
Well?

Speaker 1 (15:16):

Guy?

Speaker 3 (15:32):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (15:33):
Oh, James, no, dar, I almost say no.

Speaker 4 (15:39):
I guess if you wake up to radio alarm, I
can understand completely why you keep snoozing me.

Speaker 1 (15:44):
That makes sense. Sorry, it's not it's not you, it's me.
I'm I'm okay with that too, James. What do we
want to do here? I can get you a gift card.

Okay, So finally someone who gets up earlier than Trevor does.
It's about three forty for me today. Well, now that
our day is half over, what station's p out of

Speaker 1 (17:02):
Let me put it this way.

Speaker 2 (17:03):
Her Monday morning more on a war has on a
Excel ninety three.

Speaker 1 (17:09):
So if you think there's nothing.

Speaker 4 (17:10):
Worse than leaving a kid in a car alone for hours,
these women found a few ways to up the ante at.
Police in Arizona just released the bodycam footage of a
very chaotic scene after they responded to a call about
a small child running around a parking lot alone about
eleven pm. Now this happened back in March. Witnesses say,
they didn't see any parents around, and when they asked

(17:32):
the girl where they were, she didn't know. But she
did lead them to a car where there were three
more kids, two that were strapped into car seats. Now,
when the cops showed up, they found all four kids,
the oldest being around four and the youngest being an infant,
and a large bag of weed in the car.

Speaker 1 (17:50):
Here's bodycam footage found her going up and down. Here
she took um to the car. Yeah, one sleeping on
the right and the other one. Oh, there is serious.
Your kids have been here four or eight hours? Hours hours?
Where have you been?

Speaker 8 (18:08):
I went on, goes to the background, really because we
got to call it out forty five minutes ago from
people walk around and said, it's all your daughter running
around in the parking lot, no parents around them.

Speaker 1 (18:16):
Well, when I was looking through the car to find
like any idea in the glove box, popped it open
with a bag of weed in the glovebox. Yeah, so
those kids have been in the car for how long?
With weed just they could have easily accessed that as well.

Speaker 4 (18:28):
Please say both women smelled my calcohol and adds third speech.
Both the rest and the children were taken to a
nearby hospital by the fire department. It's unclear what will
happen to the children, but one of the women said, quote,
please don't take my kids away from me. I know
this is super super bad. Two women leaving their kids
in a car with a bag of weed for hours
when they went to a bar met my friends. Is

(18:49):
how you end up with a shiny Monday morning. More

Do Short days ago, myself and RJ had a chance
to visit with EJ. Snyder of Naked and Afraid. Good morning, Hello,
Oh this is EJ.

Speaker 1 (19:43):
Snyder.

Speaker 3 (19:44):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (19:44):
I was hoping, so.

Speaker 4 (19:45):
That's why we had a pig Sure, I answered, The
phone didn't break and I was hoping normally.

Speaker 1 (19:51):
I'm sure I got the hear sure your connection call right.

Speaker 9 (19:54):
We didn't expect a direct call.

Speaker 4 (19:56):
AJ Snyder, Naked and Afraid, author of emergency home Preparedness.
It is great to have you on today, my friend.
Can we instantly be friends?

Speaker 6 (20:06):
Absolutely? I appreciate you having me, Thank you for your
time and look forward to chat with you about my
book and anything else you like, Naked Afraid or whatever.

Speaker 1 (20:16):
How long has Naked and Afraid been a thing?

Speaker 4 (20:19):
And I can only imagine someone pitching this to TV
exacts took off turned out to be a good, great idea.

Speaker 6 (20:27):
Discovery recruited, recruited me. I was the first one to
do it. They called me the godfather Naked Afraid. I
did it actually twelve years ago, filmed the first pilot
episode in Tanzany, Africa. Nobody knew what the hell we
were doing, and we got through it twenty one days.
Me and a woman I had never met before and
two items. And you know, when I signed up, I

(20:48):
was like, what am I getting myself into? And all
the free stuff. You know, you're getting bashed. Oh you're naked,
it's porn, it's this, it's that. But then once they
saw there was a good like a trailer that commercially
did and it got people's attention, and then now it's
a hit TV series, been going for like seventeen eighteen season.

(21:11):
I've been a big part of it. I've done six challenges,
two hundred and six days never tapped, and one write
spirit testicle.

Speaker 4 (21:20):
I didn't think we'd be talking about that today, but
that's amazing, two decades worth. I guess being on a
shield like this, if you're in you're traveling places you
can pack lately, Yes, that's for sure.

Speaker 6 (21:35):
They give you a choice of bring in just a
few items and you go out there and you wind
up with a necklace, a bag and a couple of items,
and you've got to make everything else on your own.
And you want to eat, you better hunted fish it
something like that, traffic, or if you want water, you
better go better go down the water, pick up a pot,
boil it and get drinking.

Speaker 4 (21:56):
I think myself. No, I know myself an RJ. Here
would both last.

Speaker 1 (22:01):
We might be kicked off the show after the opening credits.
That's how bad we would do with this.

Speaker 9 (22:05):
Yeah, I'm not even sure I'd make the trip over.

Speaker 1 (22:07):
Honestly, he's scared of airport.

Speaker 4 (22:11):
Wow, let's talk about Let's talk about your book, Emergency
Home Preparedness. What's it all about and what as just
average Americans do we not worry about near enough that
we should?

Speaker 6 (22:22):
Okay, well, that's the big reason why we developed the book.
It actually started out as a video on my Websiteastarted
dot com, and we wanted to have a video to
prepare people to be ready because after the pandemic, we
learned that ninety percent of America just stayed home. Ten
percent they bugged out. Half of them just bugged out
somewhere else to go bug in. And there was the

(22:43):
other half that were like me that could sit in
the woods forever. And people kept asking us, Hey, is
this in literature form? Do you have a book or manual?
And I was like, man, we need to get this
in writing. Let's get it out there to help as
many every day jos or Joe as we can. And
so the guy goes through all the steps are prepared
in your home for the next pandemic, civil unrest, the

(23:03):
natural disaster or whatever, and it gets the step by
step of you know, what food should you be preparing for,
what kind of tools should you have on hand? Power, communications,
all that stuff. And that's why we put the book together,
so it's it's a really good guide and it will
help folks just get themselves ready to give them some

(23:25):
confidence because any survival situation, natural disaster is a lot
of uncertainty, as we've seen with Hurricane Helene, the wildfires
in La all those things.

Speaker 4 (23:38):
Do you even have a chapter? I know you're ultimately
prepared for. What's the general rule, which told be prepared
at all times for at least three days of being
stuck in our homes.

Speaker 6 (23:49):
Three days is a bit short in my opinion. I agree,
you know, for a short term event at least three weeks,
but for long term I tell people it's overwhelming. Make
a list of the time things you need, you know, food, water,
things that sustainability, and shelter, whether it's blankets or whatever,
and start out it. Get thirty days prepared first. Don't

(24:09):
work you with to ninety days and then six months yep.
And then with those rations, you can even if you're
prepared for six months and you had to go down
to one meal a day, you could stretch that out
obviously to eighteen months. So it's just all everything's about
planning and being ready for whatever comes your way.

Speaker 1 (24:29):
So I'm not a hoarder.

Speaker 4 (24:30):
Then if I have like six cases of water in
my basement right now, you're not a hoarder.

Speaker 1 (24:35):
I'm not a hoarder.

Speaker 8 (24:36):
Trevor was worried about being a hoarder since he had
six cases of water. But you know, before the pandemic,
that was one of those things, like Trevor, you said earlier,
what are we not worried about?

Speaker 9 (24:45):
And EJ RJ Here I worry about everything, trust me?

Speaker 8 (24:49):
Does I always prepared, always prepared. Now here's the deal.
Before the COVID pandemic, everybody thought that will never happen.
Then it did, and the supply chain disruptions cause you
how to be able.

Speaker 9 (25:01):
To find anything. Nothing was available.

Speaker 8 (25:03):
And after that, I think I would hope more people
are preparing themselves, but I still think everybody's gotten complacent again.

Speaker 9 (25:09):
They're already like it'll never happen again, that's not a.

Speaker 6 (25:12):
Good ideas, and that's the point big time. Something everyone
really fails to do is have enough prescription medicine on
hand or when something like this happens, or extra you know,
if you wear glasses, you know, a couple of backup eyeglasses.
I always say, have a backup, to the backup, to
the backup. And at the real situation where the world flips,
you know, the city centers are going to be the

(25:33):
first ones to just destroy themselves and chew themselves up.
Food's going to come up the shelves very quickly. When
mom can't get milk to feed the baby, she's going
to do very drastic things. It's going to get very dangerous.
And so your best defense is your castle, which is
your home, and to prepare that for those things.

Speaker 8 (25:54):
You think we're better off living in rural North Dakota
right off the bat, Yeah.

Speaker 6 (25:59):
You're probably most most in a better situation. I prefer
to live in the country or you know, I'm working
on getting a property in the mountains to develop a
whole off Greek compound up there for two purposes, one
for that reason, but two to bring veterans out and

(26:20):
help them with PTSDs and stuff like that.

Speaker 4 (26:23):
So it does sound like, though we've got another person
to not go to all the big cities and tour
the East coast with us A. J. Snyder taking afraid
exactly avoid them like the plague. Can you worry too
much about every and anything? Do we need to even
focus on not if, but when the zombie apocalypse happens,
what you do well?

Speaker 6 (26:44):
I always tell people, you know, when you prepare for
the zombie apocalypse, you're preparing for survival. It doesn't matter
what context you use, whether it's a zombie apocalypse of
title label, whatever, the thing is that you're either situation.
You're going to put the basics down first and get
those all set up, and then when you're talking about
things like let's say a hurricane's coming or tornado, then

(27:07):
you start adjusting your survival situation to your environment. Like
if you were living in Kansas, you know, hey, tornadoes
are a thing, so you're probably gonna want to have
a tornado barker, so you know, you start getting very
specific towards certain things. So there nobody thought a flood
was going to happen up in the mountains of North Carolina. Yeah,
and look what happened.

Speaker 9 (27:28):
So there go, Trevor.

Speaker 8 (27:29):
You can plan for like the zombie apocalypse, but if
a Mad Max situation happens, you're covered.

Speaker 4 (27:35):
We get eighty two feet of snow, we're stuck inside
for three months.

Speaker 1 (27:39):
Your cover works. It makes sense.

Speaker 8 (27:41):
One other thing that I found interesting, and here's something
that most people don't think about, is building your community network,
right because a lot of times you're like, well, I'm
just going to stock up on this and lock the
house in, YadA YadA.

Speaker 9 (27:53):
But isn't it more important. It's not what you know,
but who you know?

Speaker 6 (27:56):
Right ej Absolutely, I'm glad you brought that point up.
A lot of people sit there in a cul de sac.
They don't even know who their neighbors are one door,
two doors down. They don't know that two doors down
they've got a doctor in their neighborhood. So I tell
both all the time, and especially if you're in an
urban environment, which I've lived in those many years. I
grew up in New Jersey outside of New York City

(28:16):
when I was in the military. A lot of places
whe're at, we're living in a small city, So learn
who's in your cul de sac as I say, learn
who's in your You know, people have all these hoa groups.
We why don't you make them very useful as opposed
to writing you a ticket for not having your grass cut.
Why don't you have meetings where you talk about who
has certain skills. If you have, let's say, a seamstress

(28:39):
in the neighborhood or even a mechanic, have them run
small classes to help people better their own skills within
the community. And so that's very critical. It's very important
that communities and disaster situations come out and help each
other and take care of each other. And a lot
of times that does. As things happened, you find that

(29:01):
is forced on people. But it's better if you're not forced.
It's better if you prepare ahead of time. And we
I am otto at Survival Mastery. Uh, don't be don't
be scared, be prepared. And that's a very good model
to remember.

Speaker 9 (29:15):
Beautiful.

Speaker 1 (29:16):
So I'm I'm super glad. We just made a new
friend here each J Snyder of Naked and Afraid, right.

Speaker 8 (29:21):
Because nobody's coming to didn't know who's going to go. Hey,
I got to learn who the DJ is in my neighborhood.
He's really good.

Speaker 1 (29:26):
He's gonna play us music right, author of Emergency.

Speaker 6 (29:31):
Home and if you have one, you'll be in a
better shape for sure.

Let's go excellent. Thank you initiate conversation. You have some
very very bad HAPPI so these people in my office
building are a drain on resources. It's a kind of
dieting boot camp. It's the next two hours telling you
gave me various numbers. This is humiliating.

Great, it's show business, baby, you gotta start somewhere.

Some we are so weather dependent people down south.

Speaker 1 (30:53):
I don't know why.

Speaker 4 (30:54):
There's like home depots and lows s California where it's
always nice weather. Your yard should always be nice. You
fix it up once. It's good for life.

Speaker 6 (31:04):
Though.

Speaker 1 (31:06):
No, they don't have the snow to wreck it, right, Darren,
what do we want to do here? I can get
you your choice of gift cards.

digs pizza, ninety three dollars to balloons, my misty. I
can get you in Mission Mission Impossible eight, the Oat

the Minneapolis Monday Winning Here.

Speaker 6 (31:28):

Speaker 4 (31:29):
Okay, well, let's get you fifty bucks to Hugos. That
sounds good to me. All right, let's just put a
smile on your face. What station has more free groceries
and spring cleaning gift cards to give away?

Speaker 2 (31:41):
Guaranteed ninety three Love time for one More Thing on
XCEL ninety three, One More Time, One More.

Speaker 4 (31:51):
My favorite movie activity to me, it doesn't translate into
real life. It seems like any time there's a there's
a fight, someone can smack someone onto the head, or
someone's creeping into a house that doesn't belying there and
someone can hit them on the head from behind and
that person's boom instantly knocked out. What's something that happens

(32:12):
often in movies? One percent unrealistic? And you've seen this happen.
There's an explosion, someone flies through the air in slow motion,
they're totally fine after, or even their hair is somehow perfect.

Speaker 1 (32:26):
Probably not gonna happen. People on social media.

Speaker 4 (32:31):
Listing things that happen all the time in movies one
hundred percent unrealistic. Someone falls and catches the edge of
something hanging out by just their fingers. I wouldn't recommend
trying that at all. Spotless air docks or air docks
that can support the weight of maybe a two pound
man moving through them, not full of screws, and absorb

(32:55):
the sounds of the man moving around. Are you thinking
die hard one? In Bruce Willis's case, he can do it,
but that's a moment character moving four feet from the
other characters and having a full volume side conversation where
nobody else can hear a thing seems like that's a
classic soap opera move. I think a hero being assaulted

(33:17):
by a dozen henchmen using fizz feet and metal bars,
only to end up with a small butterfly advantage on
their cheek. Oh, everyone attacks one at a time too.
Something that happens often in movies on unrealistic, the general
lack of tiredness. Nobody gets tired, unemployment, unemployed bachelor's with
spacious penthouse apartments and desirable locations.

Speaker 1 (33:40):
Think about that.

Speaker 4 (33:41):
Where some of these people live a lot of times,
have no jobs, waking up looking fresh and stout and
mostly in a very good mood. Hackers saying hmmm, typing
three hundred words a minute, and then five seconds later
saying I'm in. Everyone's computer always works so quickly and easily.
No one's entrying passwords or anything. Something that happens often

(34:02):
in movies. One hundred percent unrealistic. Ordering a meal, eating
just one bite and then chucking the whole thing because
you have to go somewhere, Or going to bar, ordering
a beer, having one sip and getting up and leaving.

Speaker 1 (34:16):
Nobody ever looks for parking.

Speaker 4 (34:17):
Parking is just there with something that happens often in
movies one hundred percent unrealistic. Stopping to buy and have
breakfast at a friend's apartment before work. I know who
does that on a Tuesday. No one buys sellering bag
attes every time you go to the grocery store. But
they sure look like groceries when you see them sticking
out of the bag. That's a sitcom thing. Someone comes

(34:38):
home with a bag and groceries. The classic zoom in
enhance the image, isolate that section enhanced more. And someone
Elso said, brushing teeth without toothpaste, think about it unless
it's a comedic scene. No one is as messy and
kind of gross as the actual process of brushing and flossing.
Nothing is as messy and gross but something that happens

(35:00):
z often in movies. That's one hundred percent unrealistic. Yippi kaye,

just be to buy more beer. You could watch YouTube

things are better when you're drunk.

Speaker 1 (35:58):
Anyway.

Speaker 3 (35:59):
Oh, how about hangout with your nana now? Now it
helps to be drunk when you're around her too. I
