This Is My Deal Here, Wade

Speaker 1 I'm sure a lot of you out there are plain Coca-Cola people, and that's respectable. Trust me, I'm one.
Yes, I am. You've many times seen me just, I like to order just a regular Coca-Cola.
I really do.

Speaker 1 I really do. But if you haven't tried a Coca-Cola from Sonic, now is your chance, because right now it's completely free with any purchase.

Speaker 1 Now, if you're a regular Joe, you're thinking to yourself, I can get a Coca-Cola from anywhere, Conan. Why would I go to Sonic? Well, I'm going to tell you.

Speaker 1 Sonic has all the flavors and add-ins to make the perfect Coca-Cola for you. I'm talking strawberry, cherries, coconuts, sweet cream, jalapeños.

Speaker 1 Second of all, let me say this again. It's free.
But I like an add-in. I like to have a little flavor.
And you know what? Coconut in your Coca-Cola is delicious. It really is.

Speaker 1 So create a Coke Your Way, any size, any flavor, free with any purchase in the Sonic app for a limited time. Live free.
Eat Sonic.

Speaker 1 When you're saving up for the things you really want, you gotta make smart choices.

Speaker 1 You know, the other night I cooked dinner and sort of ordering takeout for the sixth time in a week, and there were a lot of choices involved. Do I have paprika? Do I have enough onions?

Speaker 1 You know, is caramel going to go in this? Oh, God. The State Farm Personal Price Plan is another smart choice you can make.

Speaker 1 It can help you create an affordable price when you choose to bundle home and auto insurance. Says JFK, it's made for you, by you.

Speaker 1 Talk to a state farm agent today to learn how you can choose to bundle and save with the personal price plan. Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there.

Speaker 1 Prices are based on ratings plans that vary by state. Coverage options are selected by the customer.
Availability, amounts of discounts and savings, and eligibility vary by state.

Speaker 2 Conan O'Brien needs a fan. Want to talk to Conan? Visit teamcoco.com slash call Conan.
Okay, let's get started.

Speaker 3 Hey, Max, welcome to Conan O'Brien Needs a Fan.

Speaker 1 Hey, David. Hey, Max.
How are you?

Speaker 3 I'm trying to stay warm.

Speaker 1 Oh,

Speaker 1 okay.

Speaker 1 Well, you're indoors.

Speaker 1 Do you not have heating? What's going on?

Speaker 3 I guess that hasn't made its way to my part of the country yet.

Speaker 1 Where are you, sir? Where are you right now?

Speaker 3 I'm in Fargo, North Dakota.

Speaker 1 Ah, Fargo. Yeah.
Okay, that's my favorite movie, by the way.

Speaker 1 It really is one of my favorite movies.

Speaker 1 I love Fargo.

Speaker 1 I wish you talked like that in the movie.

Speaker 1 It's my deal here, G. Hey, Wade.

Speaker 1 Hey, Wed. No, this is my deal here, C.
No, no. We're talking about

Speaker 3 some incentive for me to talk like Margie.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's okay. I, well, no, we're not going to get into some sort of sex game.
That's not going to happen.

Speaker 4 Do you want money?

Speaker 1 Well, then you can Venmo him. No, no, no, I'm not giving him any money for this.
I think it's just an excuse for me to see. It's my deal here, Wade.
No, no. I mean, I'm sorry.

Speaker 1 What accent is that? it

Speaker 1 it's fargo it's fargo are you sure i'm sure hey you know i'm sorry you don't sound at all like anyone from the movie fargo

Speaker 3 i don't know if i agree with your police work 100 there lou hey yay

Speaker 1 yay max

Speaker 1 i see what i was doing was a trick to get you to do that

Speaker 1 and my bad fargo accent brought out your good one and so i win this round i love that I love that.

Speaker 3 You don't owe me any money.

Speaker 1 So, Max, what do you do? What's your, what's besides

Speaker 1 living in an apartment that has no central heating, what do you do with yourself, my friend?

Speaker 3 I'm a meteorologist.

Speaker 1 Oh, cool. That's cool.
And

Speaker 1 you're a meteorologist. Are you on the radio? Are you on television? Where do you do your meteorology?

Speaker 3 I am on television. I'm on the Fox-affiliated TV station in Fargo.

Speaker 1 Oh, very cool.

Speaker 1 And because it's Fox, do they encourage you to put like a political slant on like, oh, there's a there's a bad storm coming from

Speaker 1 the left wing.

Speaker 1 Oh, the left wing. From the left wing.
From the left wing. Yeah, the left wing of the state.
There's a bad kooky storm, but don't worry. Now it's becoming Irish.

Speaker 1 It's my deal here. Hey, no, no, wait.
We talked about it. It's my deal here.
If I stick to my deal here, I think I got the extra.

Speaker 4 Just repeat that over and over again.

Speaker 3 Yeah, I think so.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 Like you're from the Midwest. Oh, wait, you are.
Are you from

Speaker 1 southern Illinois?

Speaker 1 Yeah, it's true.

Speaker 1 Max, I'm sorry. You're a meteorologist, and I'm going to try to bring some sanity.
I think you've upended this conversation with your nonsense.

Speaker 3 Well, I think that's a load of bullshit.

Speaker 1 Okay. Hey.

Speaker 1 Wow, Jesus. All right.
You just take it easy.

Speaker 1 You're a meteorologist. How much TV?

Speaker 3 I don't have to take this.

Speaker 1 Okay. You're right.
I have the highest respect for you, Max. I think you've lost control.
You've lost the feeling in your extremities from the severe cold.

Speaker 1 So you are in the studio. You are doing the weather.
Is the weather usually the same in Fargo? Does it get boring?

Speaker 1 You know, there's that old joke about it's really boring to be a weatherman in Los Angeles because it's always 72 degrees and fairly pleasant. What about in Fargo?

Speaker 3 We do have the periods where it'll get a little bit boring, but those are fairly few and far between. Right now, it's, you know, we've got almost 60 mile an hour wind gusts and blizzard warnings.

Speaker 3 So it's,

Speaker 3 you know, it's a good weather day to be a meteorologist, but not a good day for pretty much anyone else who wants to do anything around town because

Speaker 1 it's not great. Well, bad luck for other people is good luck for you because you get to say.
Pretty much.

Speaker 1 A big storm coming there, Wade.

Speaker 1 I'm going to keep going at it. I'm going to keep going at it.
There's no way to stop me.

Speaker 1 So,

Speaker 1 okay. What kind of,

Speaker 1 do you get outside the studio much? I mean, are you mostly there in front of the green screen pointing to things like low pressure system, high-pressure system, snowflakes, that kind of thing?

Speaker 3 Yeah, each individual snowflake that comes down, I'm typically outside the studio pointing. Here's one.

Speaker 1 Here's two. Okay, listen to me, you son of a bitch.

Speaker 1 I'm going to climb through this microphone and come and get you. You understand me? Don't you sass me, young man.
All right? I'm 98 years old.

Speaker 1 I've served this country bravely in World War II, and you're going to treat me with respect. None of your sass now.
This is my deal here, Wade. Oh, no.
Oh, my Lord.

Speaker 3 I'm in front of the green screen most of the time.

Speaker 1 Right. And do you have to add lib a lot?

Speaker 1 Is that because sometimes I would think you're there and I don't mean to put down your anchor because I don't know who your anchor is, but what if your anchor just is trying to be funny and you got to kind of have to play off your anchor, who I'm just assuming is, you know, he's, come on, you're a funny guy, Max.

Speaker 1 You're calling in. You're clearly a fan.
You've already had some good quips. You've put me in my place.
What if your anchor is like,

Speaker 1 and you have to deal with that? What do you do?

Speaker 3 Fortunately, that hasn't happened too frequently, but when you're on air, it's always professional. And I have no experience.

Speaker 1 One thing.

Speaker 1 I don't know what you're talking about, Max.

Speaker 3 Stick with me, baby. You're going to learn some things.

Speaker 3 And one thing, you know, the news anchors, when they're reading the news, they're reading off of script. They're reading off a prompter.
When I'm doing the weather, it's all free form.

Speaker 1 It's all just wait, exactly.

Speaker 1 You're going commando. Right.
There's well.

Speaker 1 No, no, seriously.

Speaker 1 You're letting the old pendulum swing, if you know what I mean. Those guys are locked in.
They're just locked in.

Speaker 1 Now the weather. You know, and they'll read it.
Do you know what I mean?

Speaker 1 That's what it is. It's like the movie Anchorman.
You know, you just put it on the prompter and they'll read it.

Speaker 1 Do you get outside the studio much? Do you ever get a chance to get outside and have some excitement?

Speaker 1 Well, every once in a while for work, I'll

Speaker 3 do the weather from outside. But when I'm not working.

Speaker 3 Especially when it's warm out, spring, summer, something I really, really like to do and I've been doing for a while is I go storm chasing. I go driving around looking for tornadoes.

Speaker 1 Oh, really? That's cool. I've never talked to someone who really does that.
Of course, there are the famous iconic movies about storm chasing. How inaccurate are those movies?

Speaker 1 I'm guessing they are fairly inaccurate.

Speaker 3 Well, the original Twister,

Speaker 3 they take a lot of liberties with it. The newest one is a little bit more accurate, but it's definitely not just jam-packed balls to the wall action 24-7.

Speaker 3 It's more so.

Speaker 3 You know,

Speaker 3 you're spending a lot of time in a car just driving around, or if you're just hanging out in a field playing catch with a baseball, waiting for storms to go up.

Speaker 3 But then it's that 1% when the storms are actually going up that is just the sheer adrenaline rush of storm chasing.

Speaker 1 Okay, Max, paint the picture for me. You hear there's a tornado, or the conditions are right for a tornado, and then it comes in over the radio.

Speaker 1 The tornado is setting down over near Cobbler's Grove, and

Speaker 1 you say, Let's go, gang, and you all hit the gas and you head towards the tornado. Is that correct?

Speaker 1 Yeah. Whoa, look at that.
that.

Speaker 1 Is that something you just got off online? Or

Speaker 1 no, believe it or not, I took this. So you took that photo and you got that close to a tornado.
Now,

Speaker 1 what if that thing had suddenly started heading? You know, the way

Speaker 1 when a bear attacks you, if it's a black bear, you're supposed to do this. If it's a brown bear, you're supposed to do that.
What do you do if you think a tornado is headed your way?

Speaker 1 Is there something I should know that might save my life in the future?

Speaker 3 The biggest thing is if you're not sure if the tornado is heading your way or not,

Speaker 3 is to find a stationary object and just have the tornado in relation to that stationary object, line it up. And if the tornado is moving to the right of that object, it's going to pass to your right.

Speaker 3 If it's moving to the left of that object, it's going to pass to your left. But if it just appears to be getting bigger, it's coming straight at you.
Right. And that's not good news.
No.

Speaker 3 That means you, you just got to book it.

Speaker 1 Okay, let me ask you a question.

Speaker 1 Because this, this is something that I've thought about, and I think about a lot of things. I'm a thoughtful man, and

Speaker 1 so I've heard.

Speaker 1 You know, when there's a big wave coming towards you, you can try to run away from it, but sometimes that's the worst thing you can do. Sometimes you should turn and you should dive into the wave.

Speaker 1 Would it ever be a good idea?

Speaker 1 Let me finish. You don't know where I'm going with this.
To dive into the tornado.

Speaker 1 Well, no, and just go with it and like ascend, ascend, ascend. And there's cows swirling around you, moo, moo.
And there's other people from Fargo. It's my

Speaker 1 deal here, Wade.

Speaker 1 No, Wade, it's my, hey, no, Wade. I talk to these guys.
They mean business. It's my deal here, Wade.
And moo, moo. And you just ascend through them.
Is that a possibility?

Speaker 3 I'm surprised you left out Dorothy and Toto in that analogy as well.

Speaker 1 Yeah, there's not as much fun as Fargo.

Speaker 1 You know, it's just not as much fun.

Speaker 1 You know,

Speaker 1 yeah.

Speaker 1 Amazon is known for its products, but I also really love their customer reviews. Yeah.

Speaker 1 This holiday season, Amazon is bringing the most creative and outrageous customer reviews into the spotlight as part of their Amazon five-star theater.

Speaker 1 Here's a review. for the board game Twister.

Speaker 1 Angela writes, I bought this to play with my other late 20s, early 30s friends. Our bodies were not prepared for the pain that ensued.

Speaker 1 When all of my extremities ended up on the same color, my body went into full spasm.

Speaker 1 This is harrowing. My arms turned to jelly and my spine broke in half.

Speaker 1 Finally, I fell slowly to the ground in frog pose. The torture was over.
If you're in basic shape and somewhat flexible, this is the game for you. Five stars.

Speaker 1 You know, it's very rare for someone to be doing something with a product and have their spine break in half and give it a five-star review. That is very rare.
Yeah. This person's a very good sport.

Speaker 1 Anyway, whatever you're looking for this holiday, find the perfect gift on Amazon.

Speaker 1 You know me, I love to travel. You love it.
Travel the world. I do it

Speaker 1 professionally for my travel show, but I also just like to, sometimes with my wife, go and visit a foreign land and try their different cuisines.

Speaker 1 Enjoy the world. Travel is just better with D-Mobile.
You will not believe what members get on their best plans. They get amazing travel benefits, like free in-flight Wi-Fi.

Speaker 1 I use my Wi-Fi a lot when I'm on a plane. Me too.
And that free in-flight Wi-Fi sounds good to me. A free year of AAA,

Speaker 1 data and texting in over 215 countries and so many more. I don't have time to mention it.
I just don't have the time. I didn't even know there were 215 countries.
Oh, that's just well,

Speaker 1 it's not sad. It's not even surprising.

Speaker 1 Anyway, all this just means it doesn't cost 50 bucks to tell your producer that you're lost somewhere in, I don't know, Madagascar, the Maldives, Mesopotamia, Miami.

Speaker 1 T-Mobile's benefits and perks take the stress out of travel. Let them save you from the boredom of long flights.
Plus, you can save with all the freebies and discounts.

Speaker 1 Check it out at tmobile.com/slash travel.

Speaker 1 I was up half the night last night watching a World Series game. Yeah.
It was very exciting. I have to tell you, I don't care what your sport is, tailgates or watching parties or, you know, whatever.

Speaker 1 If you're watching High Lie,

Speaker 1 it doesn't matter. It is Miller time.
Miller Light is brewed with simple ingredients like malted barley for rich flavor and golden color.

Speaker 1 It's a taste you can depend on because Miller time is always a good time. I'm I'm out there throwing the pig skin around.
I used to just throw pig skin. Really? Chunks of pig skin.
Wow.

Speaker 1 I never had a football. Where would you find the pig? Oh, I went to a farmer.
Oh, good. Yeah.
And the pig had fallen into shredders.

Speaker 1 Anyway, back to Miller Light. I like just hawking pig skin around.
I like to raise a Merrill Light in the air and celebrate a great pass,

Speaker 1 throwing chunks of pig skin around.

Speaker 1 One of those nail biters. Yeah.
Last night's game, incredible nail biter with the Dodgers. Incredible.
So anyway, Miller Light, great taste, 96 calories.

Speaker 1 Go to Merrill Light.com slash Conan to find delivery options near you, or you can pick up some Merrill Light pretty much anywhere they sell beer.

Speaker 1 And if they don't sell Merrill Light, turn to them and say, sir, you do not sell beer. It's Miller time.

Speaker 1 Celebrate responsibly, Miller Brewing Company, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 96 calories and 3.2 carbs per 12 ounces.

Speaker 1 This is an ad by BetterHelp. It's that time of year.
Holidays are upon us. I think it's a good idea to reach out to people.

Speaker 1 You know, we've talked about this. It's good to try and just keep in touch with friends, family.
As the seasons change, shorter days don't have to weigh you down.

Speaker 1 This season, BetterHelp encourages you to reach out, check in on friends, reconnect with loved ones, and remind them that you're here. So it could help you.
It could help the person you're calling.

Speaker 1 You never know.

Speaker 1 Just like it takes just a little courage to send that text to grab coffee with someone you haven't seen in a while, reaching out for therapy can feel difficult too, but it can really be worth it.

Speaker 1 It can leave people wondering, why didn't I do this sooner? With over 30,000 therapists worldwide, BetterHelp is one of the leading online therapy platforms. BetterHelp therapists are fully qualified.

Speaker 1 BetterHelp does the initial matching work for you so you can focus on your therapy goals. And that's a huge deal.

Speaker 1 You don't have the burden of trying to figure out who's the right person. Really nice.

This month, don't wait to reach out.

Speaker 1 Whether you're checking in on a friend or reaching out to a therapist, BetterHelp makes it easier to take the first step. Our listeners get 10% off their first month at betterhelp.com slash Conan.

Speaker 1 That's better, H-E-L-P dot com slash Conan.

Speaker 3 Well, you know what, Conan? You can come out storm chasing and we'll let you dive into a tornado and we'll see how it goes.

Speaker 1 I would, first of all, I would do it because I am very

Speaker 1 good for things. And if it's for a bit and I think it'll make people happy, I'll do it.
And

Speaker 1 you'll just find a red wig later on and some bits of flesh.

Speaker 1 That's fascinating that you go chasing after the storms and you don't feel endangered when you're doing that.

Speaker 1 Even if you see a tornado, you think, oh, it's a pretty good chance it's not going to come our way.

Speaker 3 No, I've been doing it long enough where I have a pretty good handling on being able to look at what I'm seeing in front of me and know if I'm in a good position or in bad position.

Speaker 3 You know, there's been a couple times where,

Speaker 3 you know, maybe we're rolling into a town and we're getting reports that the tornado is rolling into the same town we're driving through, but we can't see as much because there's trees, there's hills, and we got to try to find somewhere to get visual of the tornado.

Speaker 3 Those moments are definitely a lot more scary just because you can't see it. You don't know where it is and you're trying to get visual on it.

Speaker 3 Those are definitely when the blood pressure kind of goes up a little bit more.

Speaker 1 Isn't there an app that will tell you where the tornado is? And there's an app for everything. And if there isn't, you you should invent one.

Speaker 1 But there should be an app that tells you there's a tornado and it's six feet that way. And there's a little arrow.

Speaker 1 Well, I don't know if

Speaker 3 it can be that precise, but there are, you know, when we're chasing, I've got the weather radar in front of me and I can see where we are in position in relation to the storm.

Speaker 3 I've got the National Weather Service chat room open so I can see what other meteorologists are saying. So that's always a big help.

Speaker 3 But until you can actually see it for yourself, because weather radar can only go so far, especially if you're far away from a radar. Gotcha.
You're not getting the best picture.

Speaker 1 You can't just rely on, and I'm guessing it's a Doppler.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah. You know the terms.
Well, whatever. I

Speaker 1 pretty much helped invent the technology.

Speaker 3 Oh, you're that Conan.

Speaker 1 Yes.

Speaker 1 Oh. Conan Orion.

Speaker 1 Oh,

Speaker 1 Conan Doppler Orion.

Speaker 3 Okay.

Speaker 1 You seem like a happy chappy, Max. Life good?

Speaker 1 Is life good for you? You enjoy your life. You're a young fellow.

Speaker 1 You're part of a proud guild of meteorologists.

Speaker 1 I don't know. I'm impressed.

Speaker 1 You know what I mean? Sometimes you think, oh, you're going to talk to a meteorologist. It's going to be some crusty 65-year-old guy who's like,

Speaker 1 I remember the tornado of 57. Like, oh, Jesus, this guy again.
But look at you. You're a very young guy, and

Speaker 1 this is pretty cool.

Speaker 3 How did you know a tornado went through Fargo in 1957?

Speaker 1 I know a lot about tornadoes. And I know a lot about Fargo.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah.
And Fargo.

Speaker 3 Except how to do an accent.

Speaker 1 Oh, I think my accent is so good, it scares the shit out of you. And I'll be honest with you.
I can tell you, just I can see the color drain from you every time I go, that's right.

Speaker 1 Hey, it's my dear wave.

Speaker 1 There's the color.

Speaker 3 I just live in Fargo, so I'm very, very white.

Speaker 1 Do you have

Speaker 1 family? What's going on in your life, your social life?

Speaker 3 So I grew up in the Twin Cities. It's

Speaker 3 pretty close by a couple hour drive into Minnesota. So most of my family is in the Twin Cities.
So get home when I can, basically. It's not always easy to get home and see my family.

Speaker 3 But otherwise, it's when I'm around town here in Fargo.

Speaker 3 really big into photography. So I'm taking pictures.
And that's, you know, obviously you saw the photo that I took. I'm taking pictures of the storms.

Speaker 3 And, uh, and then this past summer, I got really big into starting to take film photography as well.

Speaker 1 Oh, okay. I'm just curious, do you ever get together with the other meteorologists? I mean, and is there a rivalry? There must be other meteorologists in town from other stations.
And

Speaker 1 is there rivalry between you guys?

Speaker 3 Yeah, well, you've seen Fight Club, right?

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Sure. I love this already.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 3 Well, the first two rules is I can't talk about it. So

Speaker 1 but I'll let yourself kind of wrong. Hey, Wade, first rule of fight club is you don't talk about fight club way.

Speaker 1 I'm sorry, I just wanted to put a little Fargo spin on it.

Speaker 3 We punch each other and then say sorry.

Speaker 1 Yeah, sorry.

Speaker 1 All right, so

Speaker 1 sounds like life is good. Do you have a question for me? Is there a way I can help you? I'd like to help you, Max, in any way that I can.
I'd like to use what skills I have. I'm a humble man,

Speaker 1 as you can tell.

Speaker 1 All humble men.

Speaker 1 Yep.

Speaker 3 That's a sign of a humble man when they tell you.

Speaker 1 Yep.

Speaker 3 Well, I'm going to

Speaker 3 maybe break the rules a little bit. I'm going to ask two questions because I think you're probably not going to have a great answer for the first one that I'm probably not going to use.

Speaker 1 Do you have any

Speaker 1 advice?

Speaker 1 Go ahead.

Speaker 3 Any advice to kind of spice up maybe my on-air weather forecasting?

Speaker 1 Oh,

Speaker 1 well,

Speaker 1 first of all, what are you wearing when you do the weather forecasting? Clothes. No, but come on.
What are you wearing? How are you dressed?

Speaker 1 You wear a suit? Do you have to wear a suit? I mean, you're a young guy

Speaker 1 and times are changing fast. And you're working on a local station and you might want to make a splash.
You might want to jazz it up a little bit.

Speaker 1 Maybe you want to go with something, I don't know, a little more encouraged. You know what I'm saying? Maybe you want to dress more like you would out on the street or out if you're going to a club.

Speaker 1 There must be a cool club near you, he said, not sure at all that there was.

Speaker 3 You might like a shiny shirt, something that,

Speaker 1 you know, a hoodie or whatever.

Speaker 1 I mean, you've got to, what you have to do is separate yourself from all the other people in suits that are saying that there's some, an ice storm moving in and it's going to be cold tomorrow.

Speaker 1 You've got to pop. And if that means you get some fashion forward glasses, a la Jeff Goldblum, whatever you've got to do, you should do that, in my opinion.

Speaker 1 And you said my first answer was going to blow, but it didn't. It's exactly what you should do.

Speaker 1 Not that you're not rocking the world right now in your black t-shirt, but let me tell you something, buddy boy. If you want to make it, you've got to shake things up a little bit.

Speaker 3 I'm surprised.

Speaker 3 That was surprisingly better than what I thought I was going to get. I thought it was going to be, you know, don't wear pants and underwear, something like that.

Speaker 1 No, what am I? I'm not some perv, you know? Well, you're the guy chasing.

Speaker 1 You're the guy chasing storms around. They probably have a restraining order out against you.

Speaker 3 The storms have a restraining order?

Speaker 1 Yeah. It's a tornado that's like.
They're like talk. They're like,

Speaker 1 it's a creep as

Speaker 1 well. I'm just trying to do my.

Speaker 1 I'm just trying to fly some cows around.

Speaker 1 It's that creep again.

Speaker 1 It is Van taking a picture of me.

Speaker 1 Storm chaser.

Speaker 1 Storm perv, more like it.

Speaker 1 All right, Max, you get one more question.

Speaker 3 All right, Conan, when are you coming out going storm chasing with me?

Speaker 1 Well, not that you don't make it very enticing

Speaker 1 because

Speaker 1 you pretty much explained to me that nothing happens 99% of the time, and most of your quips have been insults.

Speaker 1 So I'm coming out right away.

Speaker 4 Maybe he has like good snacks in the car while you sit in the back.

Speaker 1 I mean, that's the problem: I would go storm chasing with you, but I have a feeling that how are we going to time this?

Speaker 1 When is good tornado season? Is it the spring? Summer?

Speaker 3 Yeah, April, May, June.

Speaker 1 Okay, I'm going to lock off those three months.

Speaker 1 I'm going to get a best western in downtown Fargo. I'm going to walk around going, it's my deal, you're weed.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 then we'll wait for something to happen and then we'll jump in the, you and I can jump in the van together. I haven't said that in a while.

Speaker 1 Oh, sorry. And fire up the old Doppler.
Is it a 1780? What kind of Doppler is it? What do you you got there?

Speaker 3 I got the 1800 model.

Speaker 1 Those are fantastic. Those are great.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Just make sure. Well, you probably have already looked into it.

Speaker 1 You got to use the correct megahertz.

Speaker 1 Max, I'm going to sign off now. It was very nice talking to you.
And I like the cut of your jib. You seem like a fine lad.

Speaker 1 Really think seriously about what I said about changing it up a little bit, dressing.

Speaker 1 a little fashion forward. Separate yourself from the herd is what I'm going to say.
Because the rest of people in that station are going down, going down hard. You want to survive, okay?

Speaker 1 You're young and accentuate your youth. That's what I say to you.
I'm a survivor. You're a survivor.
Exactly. All right.
I think we're good here. Okay.

Speaker 1 I'm going to ask you to go and look into some indoor heating, if that's possible. We'll see.
And then maybe about that.

Speaker 3 Some people like a cold.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 3 I'm not one of them.

Speaker 1 Nope. Not at all.
Not at all. I think it's good to have, especially in Fargo, probably some kind of heating

Speaker 1 because the alternative is death.

Speaker 1 Max, I hope you survive the winter, and I sincerely doubt you will. Yeah.

Speaker 1 But if not, I'll come by when we'll chop you up into slices and

Speaker 1 use chunks of your flesh to cool our drinks.

Speaker 3 Max, tell my family I love them.

Speaker 1 Well, I don't know them, and I'm not sure you do.

Oh, my God.

Speaker 1 The LL Bean flannel has been part of the holiday for over a century. Cozy, reliable, and made to last.

Speaker 1 It's the shirt you wear when you pick out your tree and when you're home relaxing with a warm cup of cocoa.

Speaker 1 And it's the one you wear in the family photo where somehow everyone's matching without even trying.

Speaker 1 These shirts, these flannels from LL Bean have been around for a long time. Yeah, they have.
They've been around from the olden days. I'm going to go churn some butter, but first, my LL Bean flannel.

Speaker 1 Oh no, President McKinley has been wounded.

Speaker 1 Anyway, these have been around a long time. They're great for the holidays.
You got to get them. Go check out LL Bean Flannel.
Invited to the holidays since 1912.
