Speaker 4 (02:48):
TV?

Speaker 2 (02:49):
The Entertainment World and whatever. Here's what you've missed on
Excel ninety three.

Speaker 3 (02:55):
Like the story will transition nicely into our question of
the day today. A woman in Canada says she is
at her wits end because squirrels keep wrecking her vehicles.
They keep wrecking her cars. She's now on to her
second car that's being destroyed by the animals. Here's Laura
Edwards talking about her problem.

Speaker 5 (03:17):
The electrical was off, so we got into the driveway
safely opened it. Sure enough, the squirrels had been in.
It was ongoing with that car until it got to
the point where the mechanics said get rid of it.
They make a disastrous mess. They chew the wires, they
put in leaves, branches, you name it.

Speaker 3 (03:37):
Maybe it's as simple as a bumper sticker. Squirrels keep out.
I would try that. I would try that. Squirrels keep
destroying a woman's car or her cars. It's the second
car they've almost wrecked already. As the saga continues, So
this can transition nicely into my question of the day today.

(03:58):
We're putting curses on people today. You can put a
curse on an enemy, on your enemy, but it can
only be a minor inconvenience. What would this minor inconvenience be.
That's our question of the day today. You can put
a curse on your enemy, but it can only be
a minor inconvenience. First thing that came to mind for

(04:20):
me would be getting stopped by a train every time
you go anywhere. I don't know why. It's that frustrating
where it. It could be having a great day and
suddenly train at forty seconds street comes to mind. Seems
there's always one. I've even been stopped by two trains
at the same time, one going in one direction, one

(04:42):
the other direction. Right, I swear the guys just stopped.
The engineers stopped just so they could visit with each
other and frustrate us. Us motorists. But every time you
drive somewhere, there could be a lot of every time
you drive somewhere curses. Every time you drive somewhere, your
gas tank's always on e or how about worse. This
has been financially heard too. Every time you go somewhere

(05:04):
you get pulled over for some sort of violation, just
not a major violation like Kevin ran over anybody. Maybe
your brake lights now one time. Next time you didn't
pay attention you were going thirty two and thirty, you
get the tickets. There's a lot of driving answers here.
Let's put curses on people. My curse Monday. Let's declare

(05:27):
it my curse Monday today. You can put a curse
on an enemy, but it can only be a minor inconvenience.
Share that curse. Let's see, let's from rolling in here
on friends on the Trevity and the excel matby three
Facebook pages. Now Laura going with chronic diarrhea. Oh, with
the price of toilet paper these days, that would indeed

(05:49):
be a curse. You're waiting for me to say crappy curse,
But I'm not going to say that people are eating
breakfast today a curse on an enemy, it can only
be a minor inconvenience. Let's see what else do we
have here? Bete says constantly itchy bankside a constant itch anywhere.

(06:13):
But when you're scratching your butt, that's just worse. Just
as everywhere you go you're scratching the gitch doesn't go anywhere.
Excel not e three. Well, Hey, good day, Who is this, Dusty.

(06:34):
You can put a curse on an enemy, but it
can only be a minor inconvenience. What would your curse be? Oh,
I don't know, quatre every time they drive someone driving
topics have been kind of the number one answer today.
Every time you go anywhere, you've got to change a tire.
That's a good maniacal op. People have had some good
laughs today too. Hey, Dusty, do you need some adult

(06:57):
trying circus tickets? Maybe the Rhumut guys give guard can
go with some movie passes the River Cinema. You want
to know their air Action Park gift card. Talk to me,

make that graduation party action a large batimi Northland Community

(08:02):

balloons by Misty for some fine decor Buffalo Wild Wings.
Let's make that graduation party extra large. Question of the
day today. First things first, you can put a curse
in your enemy, but it can only be a minor inconvenience.
If we can get your dinner and a movie option here,

(08:23):
get your Northern Air Action Park, send you to the
Shrine circus with some adult tickets. That's this weekend at
the Round. Sean says, infinite toe stubbing. That is the worst,
kind of well, I think kind of I can completely
pull the cap muscle. I'm not sure how I did
it either. When you get older, you're just not sure

(08:43):
how things get hurt in the first place. But I
haven't been lifting my right legs as high as I
should when I walk just because of that, and as
a result, I will now stub my toe about ten
times a day. Toe hits down on the ground before
my foot does. Infinite toast stubbing. Infinite toast stubbing, good answer.

(09:11):
Tom says they would always want to pee after they
settle in bed at nights. That's the worst. Too nice
and comfortable and time to go to the bathroom. And
also sharing. Tom's got a couple for me. They always
get a hair in their food when they take a bite. Yeah,
that's that's not good either. Just minor inconveniences. You can

(09:36):
put a curse on an enemy, but it can only
be a minor inconvenience. Share that curse this morning threads
on the Trevity and the XL Netty three Facebook pages.
Next chance to win about seven forty this morning on
XCEL naty three.

Speaker 2 (09:50):
Am not trending the testagg trending on XCEL nightty three.

Speaker 3 (09:57):
Some of you notice nicknames aren't as common anymore. A
writer for the Wall Street Journal claims they're going extinct.
So he has five kids, aged six through eighteen, and
none of them none of them have been given nicknames
by their friends. He says none of their friends seem
to have one either. Now. He claims all types of

(10:17):
nicknames are in decline, everything from junior to calling your
buddy from Dallas text. And he thinks it's sad because
nicknames are almost always a positive thing or a sign
of affection, as long as they're not mean nicknames. I
agree with that. He says even initials like AJ or

(10:37):
JD seem less common, probably because parents take the kids'
names more seriously than they used to. His youngest kid.
It's a few friends named William, and none of them
zero go by Billy. Obviously, nicknames will never fully go extinct.
Plenty of athletes that radio hosts still go by nicknames.

(10:58):
I don't know if you know. My last name isn't
just one big letter D. There's eighty two other letters
after that, it's just easier to say DS. That's why
it's been Matt. But D thinks this is back to
this guy here thinks silly ones among friends are less
common because we're more worried about offending people. Years ago,
you might have called your heavy set friend tiny as

(11:20):
a joke, but you might be more worried about calling
attention to their weight Now. Same goes for calling someone
red because they're a ginger. To me, these just seem fumless,
and the tiny one is maybe a little worse than
calling someone with red hair red. Our affectionate nicknames for

(11:41):
friends going extinct. Maybe we're just not doing a good
job anymore thinking of them. I'll blame partial society, partial
us for being lazy. Bring them back. Nicknames trending everything
I've shared with you, Axelmady three dot com trivity page.

Speaker 1 (12:00):
No random facts coming at you now.

Speaker 2 (12:02):
That's the excel Letty three brought.

Speaker 3 (12:06):
To you mind. The Blue Moose, bar and grilled take
five dollars off your favorite burger every Monday. He's starting
in five. That's the Blue Moose. He's ran fourth.

Speaker 5 (12:17):
Bench.

Speaker 3 (12:17):
Didn't know the first ever comic book convention was in
New York in nineteen sixty four, and the very first
person to buy a ticket was sixteen year old George R. R. Martin. Yes,
the author of the Game of Thrones books. It's a
random fact for ever person to buy a ticket to

(12:39):
the first ever comic book convention. George R. R. Martin
The Game of Thrones. Dude, mercats, Vetch did know. Mercats
are more likely to kill each other than any other mammal.
Almost twenty percent of meerkats are killed by members the
same species. So now there's something worse than us people
out there. Guys. Merracats still carry change with you have

(13:06):
change in your pockets, your purses, your penny packs. Bench
didn't know more nichols were made in nineteen sixty four
than any other year. People were hoarding them because they
mistakenly thought they were made with silver. Sold the US
Man to increased production. Well three billion nickels wound up
being made. That's funny, all right, Nervous flyers. First of all,

(13:33):
kind of a bonus. Betch didn't know you're more likely
to get killed on the way to the airport. Plimo guy.
One time, I think is where I learned that from.
But if you're a nervous flyer, this is not going
to help the Savannah. Hilton had the international airport in
Georgia as two graves embedded in the runway. Two other
graves are next to it. See the land was previously

(13:56):
a private family cemetery. I know that's creepy. It's Hilton
hat slash Sabama and finally, congratulations share the record for
the longest amount of time between her first and last
number one hits. I got you Babe number one August
of nineteen sixty five and believed hit number one thirty
three and a half years later in April of nineteen

(14:18):
ninety nine. Now you know t excel not e three
hill Ray, Good morning, Good day.

Speaker 4 (14:27):
Who is this?

Speaker 3 (14:28):
That's just Sam? Hey Sam. You can put a curse
in an enemy, but it can only be a minor inconvenience.
Share that curse. I would make it because they would
have to stop at every red light. Oh that's as
bad as trains, I think exactly. And if we know
how long it's it's part Kirk. Even in the morning.

(14:49):
It's most people's middle of the night. I drive to
work at like four or four in the morning. I
zip down Gateway and a lot of times they can
get all the green lights, but today I had to
stop at two red lights, and it threw off my
whole day. Like there's borderline sixty maybe even ninety seconds.
I'm never getting back exactly every red light all the time.

(15:10):
That's great. Oh good moniaca left too, Sam? What can
I do for you here? Some adults trine circus tickets?
Maybe you want to go see a movie at River
Cinema with a Chicago Burritos gift card, maybe a gift
card a Northern Air Action Park. You tell me it's

(15:30):
been a while since I.

Speaker 4 (15:31):
Gone to the ditas.

station is proud to be your dinner in theater? Connection
exline three.

Speaker 2 (16:13):
Let me put it this way, You're Monday morning more
on a wars on a Excel ninety three.

Speaker 3 (16:20):
Imagine now frustrating it would be to have your property
destroyed because of someone reckless who couldn't control their fire.
And then imagine taking it to the next level if
this was the situation. A man in New York admitted
a starting three alarm fire last week which damaged three
homes and several cars after setting fire to some quote

(16:43):
intimacy items with a lighter. That's right, thirty seven year
old arsonist is a guy named Harry Torres. He told
the investigators quote I started the fire. I was in
the backyard of my house and I let to sex
choice on fire. Nobody said why, Nobody said why he
set the fire to the toys. Thankfully, nobody was injured,

(17:05):
but an eighty seven year old woman was forced to
flee or home. The damage to the three properties extensive toys.
Has been charged with arson in reckless endangerment. Man admitting
admitting to starting a three alarm fire last week, damaging
three homes after intentionally setting fire to a couple of
sex toys. I'm sure more information to come it's unclear

(17:25):
how or why he set the fire. He's been charged
with arson can believe that's our first trip to New
York in twenty twenty five Marcher's Young Adventure Winning on
the Way too. You can put a curse in an enemy,
but it can only be a minor inconvenience. You guys
are getting this, Katrina says. Shoelaces untied when they get
out of the vehicle every single time, or if they

(17:49):
slip on shoes, then what good? Though it's a minor inconvenience,
and that is very annoying. Keep your responses coming. We'll
do more. Choose you on Adventures on the Show too,
Tuesday morning, Tomorrow morning. Talk to Mayor Tuesday, twenty four
hours from now, we'll visitically Grand Fork's mayor, Brandon Bachansky.
Shoot me a message via social media, or you just

(18:11):
that Talk Bad Potton on the iHeartRadio app Welcoming to
the show, Kristin Ridder, author of the new novel Retreat.
You remember Kristin from Breaking Bad Marvel Universe. Good morning,
good morning, well, good day. Kristin Ridder, so excited to
have you on the show. Well known for starring roles

(18:34):
in the award winning Netflix original series, Marvel's Jessica Jones
co favorite Don't Trust to Be 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 during the show?

Speaker 4 (18:55):
Well did you watch the show?

Speaker 5 (18:58):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (18:58):
Absolutely absolutely?

Speaker 4 (18:59):
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

(19:22):
exciting that this role in that show continues to find
a life and continues to be the hit that it is.

Speaker 3 (19:30):
I would just like you to confirm that you are
one real person, though not a zombie, because I did
see you dying Breaking Bad.

Speaker 4 (19:38):
That was 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 3 (19:49):
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 4 (20:01):
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 should 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,

(20:22):
but I was on this retreat. My sitcom to be
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,

(20:44):
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,
but 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

(21:04):
just and 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, good good. Where the
idea came from, Like, what if somebody is like 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

(21:25):
mastermind thing and gets in way over her head. So
that was the original idea for the book. And then
I kind of late years later, I read an article
about a grifter in Brooklyn who was like low level
conning date and I was like, oh, what does that
look like? So I just started finding inspiration over the years,
and now it is what it is.

Speaker 3 (21:46):
So I can't believe it was over a dozen years.
I always wondered did people pop these books out in
six weeks or some people do?

Speaker 4 (21:54):
I mean some authors, you know, like Freedom Sadden has
a new book every few months and I'm like, how
did she do it? Some people's you know, some author's
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

(22:14):
them need to take twel over thirteen years, but this
is like, this is something. This has been like a
big process for me.

Speaker 3 (22:21):
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 4 (22:29):
That's a probably, I guess. I actually I didn't think.
I didn't think about that. No, I didn't try to
do that. But that's a great idea. I don't know
how that worked.

Speaker 3 (22:43):
Retreat. 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.
But this is really trigging this.

Speaker 4 (23:01):
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 where they were mistaken for somebody else

(23:23):
and you could pretend to be somebody else for a
few days and maybe it wouldn't hurt anybody.

Speaker 3 (23:28):
I would love to pretend to be somebody else exactly.

Speaker 4 (23:31):
So I think that this would be right up your alley.

Speaker 3 (23:35):
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 4 (23:43):
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 the delicious and Delicious and I

(24:03):
think that's all. That's it. I don't have a third book.
You know, a couple in.

Speaker 3 (24:09):
A moment thanks during Breaking Bad or the most heart
thumping series I think I've watched and streamed ever so
you do amazing work. Not to mention Marvel's Jessica Jones
Don't Trust to Be was a great show. To me,
it seemed like that was five years ago. I know
it was way longer than that. I wish you nothing
but more success. Doesn't every year seem like it's ten
days long, especially I.

Speaker 4 (24:31):
Have a five year old now, and time is like,
what is happening? Very surreal.

Speaker 3 (24:36):
I'm Jarring Kristin Ridder, 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 4 (24:43):
So nice to meet you. Thank you for your time.

Speaker 3 (24:46):
I think we're about to start a radio show.

put a curse on an enemy, but it can only
be a minor inconvenience Share your curse, O, my curse,
share my shirt, just a minor inconvenience on somebody. There's

(25:21):
been a lot of good driving ones, Like every red light,
you're always stopped by a train, your gas takes always
un empty, annoyed. When someone is following the boat.

Speaker 4 (25:33):
Five fen.

Speaker 3 (25:35):
From the back of you in your rear end. Well
that's interesting. Well, yeah, you don't want to hit the
brakes from have them swam into You're right, you've always
got a tailgator. And yeah, it's called keep your disc
How about another one. There's always a police officer just
driving behind you. You know how you're on your best behavior,

(25:58):
sweat and when there's just a vehicle behind you, you've
done nothing wrong and then you throw up a kind
of feeling out. That's a good one too. Yeah, that's
with the birds, you know, the wildlife. Well, what are
we playing for here? Minneapolis Monday, the Nickelodeon Universe, Most
Mountain Adventure, golf pack. I can get you to the

Speaker 4 (26:22):
I'll do the Minneapolis I'll be going there Cony.

Speaker 3 (26:24):
Well, that might work out. This is soda soda slash
pop fact or fiction? Are these facts? Am I making
them up? Three out of five? Right of your winter?
Are you ready, Kathy? I'm ready, all right. Number one,
Doctor Pepper promoted itself as a hot drink for the
winter in the sixties. If you heat it up, it
turns thicker, almost like apples cide. Or is that a fact?

(26:48):
That's a fact. That's a fact. Good start. By the way,
I don't know if you knew Doctor Pepper just passed
Pepsi as the number two soda.

Speaker 4 (26:58):
Oh I'm doctor is my absolute favorite.

Speaker 3 (27:02):
Coca Cola numero uno. Here's question two. That's just a
bonus fact. Pouring a can of Pepsi on a car
battery removes all the corrosion. Is that a fact? Fact,
that's a fact, but disconnected battery first, just to be safe,
I would do all right. See if you can go
three for three. Some state highway patrols use Coca cola

(27:25):
to clean blood off the pavement after an accident. Is

So a chef posted a video where he shares his
favorite cooking hacks from a lifetime in the restaurant industry.
The video is thirteen million views on YouTube, so he
must be doing something right here some tips. Here's some
of his best. If you wash your produce with vinegar,
it'll last longer, he says. The best mix is three
parts water, one part vinegar. Then let them sit for

(28:36):
a couple of minutes. Interesting. I guess this little coating
on there. I assume there'd be more flavor with a vinegar.
Chef revealing his favorite cooking hacks. Before adding fresh herbs
to a dish, give him a strong squeeze beforehand. This
bruising releases twice as much flavor. Use a potato masher

(28:57):
to break up all the big chunks of your ground beef.
It works a lot better than a spoon or fork.
I've got a mash her recently to my kitchen and
it does work. Wonders Chef revealing his favorite cooking hanks.

high above. This provides an even seasoning to the largest

(29:18):
surface area of a meat. I don't know if you
need to go get a step ladder or anything, but
give it some distance. What soft cheese is like mozzarella
or a gooda in the freezer from fifteen to thirty
minutes before grading them. Voila easy cheese crumbles in China
grade mozzarella it's too soft. This makes a lot of

(29:40):
sense to me. Never would I have thought of that,
But that makes sense. If you want to make fluff
of your biscuits, use bigger chunks of butter.

Speaker 1 (29:50):
And one more.

Speaker 3 (29:50):
This is chef revealing his favorite cooking hanks. If you
make soup and it's too watery, throw some bread crumbs
in there. It'll help thicken it up. That's not a wash.

means the red white cans, the Campbell soup, add too
much water, Add some bread crumbs. Chef revealing his favorite
