Speaker 1: Black Friday is it's still a thing now. Do you
Speaker 1: remember when you were younger, or when you were a kid,
Speaker 1: your mom would drag you out to wait in line
Speaker 1: for a tickle me Elmo. I don't know that there
Speaker 1: are Black Friday lines like there used to be. I
Speaker 1: remember people used to wait in line, Like stores would
Speaker 1: open midnight or five am or whatever, and they'd give
Speaker 1: you Black Friday. But then somebody realized I don't know
Speaker 1: it was Walmart or who realized, well, why don't we
Speaker 1: just start on Thursday? Yeah, Thursday Black Friday doorbusters at
Speaker 1: two pm? Do they do that? I thought a lot
Speaker 1: of places closed early Thanksgiving?
Speaker 2: No, they well they started to open early now like
Speaker 2: they stay closed in the morning, and then they opened
Speaker 2: in the afternoon.
Speaker 1: Right. But then I don't even know that they do
Speaker 1: that anymore because people shop online so much, and people
Speaker 1: are like, well, we want if I'm Target, I want
Speaker 1: you to buy my TV, which is on Black Friday
Speaker 1: specials before Walmart's by Big Screen TV. So I'm going
Speaker 1: to make my Black Friday starting Monday at noon, Black
Speaker 1: Friday Specials Monday at noon. So I don't know that
Speaker 1: there is a solid Black Friday hard opening anymore. I remember, though,
Speaker 1: like waiting in line at Best Buy with Steve years ago,
Speaker 1: the one up in the shops at Arbor Lake, I think,
Speaker 1: I think, and waiting in line and buying Carson a
Speaker 1: robot that he never played with, and then waiting in
Speaker 1: line one time, Susan waiting in line a KB Toy
Speaker 1: hobby at Mall of America for a furbie. I remember
Speaker 1: one time we were so lame we waited at Office
Speaker 1: Max for a computer. That's lame. Did you guys wait
Speaker 1: in line for any black and is it still a
Speaker 1: thing if you work in retail? Are you doing a
Speaker 1: Black Friday at Mall of America? Is there any Black
Speaker 1: Friday specials or are they all online?
Speaker 3: Now?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 4: I did. My sister, my older sister and I and
Speaker 4: my mom we would.
Speaker 2: Wait outside usually we would did we did jay Z Pennies.
Speaker 2: I think we maybe did like Target our Best Buy
Speaker 2: once or twice, but it was always Pennies because I
Speaker 2: think you got like a snow globe for the first
Speaker 2: hundred people and then we just run in. And I
Speaker 2: remember one time being a little brat and I did
Speaker 2: push someone to the side because they were pushing me
Speaker 2: and I was.
Speaker 4: Like, get out of my way.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 1: I didn't wait in line for anything.
Speaker 5: But I used to go yeah at midnight with my
Speaker 5: my Metalle squad with my dad and my step mom
Speaker 5: and cousin. But we just would go for vibes, not
Speaker 5: even because we really wanted a TV or a coat
Speaker 5: or anything. We'd just be like, Oh, it's cool to
Speaker 5: be out at the in the mall at midnight.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's true. It is fun.
Speaker 2: It is a fun energy on Black Friday. I think
Speaker 2: I think Billy because Billy is one of the only
Speaker 2: ones that's worked in like retail, retail of all of us,
Speaker 2: and she said that she did like working I think
Speaker 2: on Black Friday because it was just like fun.
Speaker 5: I also remember like going on Black Friday just to see,
Speaker 5: like last.
Speaker 1: Year, I went to it.
Speaker 5: What's the Win in Minatonka Ridgetail Center, like going to it. Yeah,
Speaker 5: I went there, and I just remember seeing how packed
Speaker 5: it was and just the vibe and the like energy
Speaker 5: of oh my god, there's so many people trying to
Speaker 5: get all these deals. I just I don't know, it's
Speaker 5: a rush and it's corny, but it's so cool.
Speaker 1: No, you nailed it. Vonn because that is part of
Speaker 1: the reasons why Black Friday was fun, or like shot
Speaker 1: hopping on Black Friday, even if you're not there at
Speaker 1: five o'clock in the morning, it's just a vibe. And
Speaker 1: then you stop and you get a Cariboo pepper MINTI
Speaker 1: something or other drink and you get a cookie, and
Speaker 1: then you do something, Oh we got to get this.
Speaker 1: Oh we gotta get a candle for Grandma. I love that.
Speaker 1: We asked people on Facebook, what did you do for
Speaker 1: Black Friday? What do you remember? Logan writes in I
Speaker 1: got a TV fifty five inch TV for five hundred dollars,
Speaker 1: stood in line at Walmart from ten at night until
Speaker 1: five in the morning, grabbed all the Fast and Furious
Speaker 1: DVDs they had paid part cash Park gift card, part
Speaker 1: shop kick app credit, part credit card. The cash here
Speaker 1: hated me. I think that's funny, Carrie says. I went
Speaker 1: shopping in Eden Prairie Mall when they did staggering staggered
Speaker 1: openings to the stores and there were prizes you could win.
Speaker 1: It was a fun memory. I think it was the
Speaker 1: year of guitar hero here's one. Katie Gulicksen, great Minnesota
Speaker 1: name says one year, we waited in line for a
Speaker 1: log splitter. Well, that's no fun of your kid, but
Speaker 1: dad wants a log splitter. Jessica writes in two years
Speaker 1: in a row, a group of a set out best
Speaker 1: side of Best Buy for ten hours. I got a
Speaker 1: computer the first year. It was so cheap and totally
Speaker 1: worth it. Next year I got a pink iPod I
Speaker 1: needed by music. These are great. And there were people
Speaker 1: who would set up tents. Remember did you ever see
Speaker 1: on the news some Yahoo would set up a tent
Speaker 1: outside of best Buy, like the Monday before and Best
Speaker 1: Buy loved it because then Channel four would come by
Speaker 1: and cover this Yahoo Who's got their tent set up?
Speaker 1: Like now you know, I want to be the first
Speaker 1: one in line, so like, yeah, you beat them by
Speaker 1: about four days, buddy.
Speaker 5: It used to be just as crazy as it was
Speaker 5: when the Krispy Kreme o been in Fridley. Like that
Speaker 5: line was just through the parking lot of whatever that
Speaker 5: shopping center is. That's how chaotic it used to be,
Speaker 5: but in a good way because everybody was there for
Speaker 5: I mean not say it a good way because sometimes
Speaker 5: as soon as they open them doors, people would be
Speaker 5: busting down Grandma's to get to the new air fry
Speaker 5: or whatever.
Speaker 1: They're like, I want to know why I want it.
Speaker 5: I just I think part of it died down, and
Speaker 5: then I think all of it died down after COVID,
Speaker 5: But I think even before COVID, it was the part
Speaker 5: of it there was like, uh, maybe we're not going
Speaker 5: to do this, and then that just ended it completely.
Speaker 1: Like twenty four seven walmarts, Why don't they bring those back?
Speaker 1: They walmarts aren't open twenty four to seven. I don't
Speaker 1: think so, not Anymore's.
Speaker 2: Probably some, but I don't think. I don't think anybody
Speaker 2: needs to be a Walmart at two am.
Speaker 4: No, sorry, scary at ten am right a couple.
Speaker 1: Of I'm looking at text messages to see if anybody's
Speaker 1: like doing a Black Friday thing. If you work in
Speaker 1: retail and you're doing a Black Friday doorbuster at five
Speaker 1: am or seven am or whatever, let me know. I
Speaker 1: don't think that they are a thing anymore. Where a
Speaker 1: generation ago that was part of the fun thing that
Speaker 1: you did on Black Friday, Oh Black Friday shopping. We
Speaker 1: did have some audio from the Dave Ryan Vault. Intern
Speaker 1: John was on our show until like about twenty ten
Speaker 1: or twelve, and one day we sent intern John out
Speaker 1: to a Best Buy to cut in line to see
Speaker 1: what people would say and do. Here's a clip from
Speaker 1: the vault of intern John cutting in a black Friday line.
Speaker 5: All right, so the line here, there's probably like three
Speaker 5: hundred people on line right now.
Speaker 1: Everybody's looking at me. So I'm gonna try to walk
Speaker 1: to the front of front of somebody. Who happens This
Speaker 1: is not gonna go Well are you walking?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Okay, they're gonna start hitting stuff out.
Speaker 1: So yeah, we were in line first.
Speaker 4: No you weren't, so get back, get back right now?
Speaker 3: Sure we were.
Speaker 1: Listen, what do you mean, I have my ticket ready?
Speaker 5: Listen?
Speaker 1: Listen, listen, I was here.
Speaker 3: Listen.
Speaker 1: Listen to me, look into my eyes. If you were
Speaker 1: not in the first place, go back here. Okay, I'm
Speaker 1: already here though. Okay, you stay here though, No, listen,
Speaker 1: be here for twenty four hours, I mean for twenty
Speaker 1: six Listen. You gotta go back.
Speaker 4: I was here.
Speaker 1: Listen, listen, you gotta go back or not.
Speaker 4: Believe John, It just like I'm just just staying here.
Speaker 4: Can't I just stay here?
Speaker 3: Now?
Speaker 4: I would be so uncomfortable. You could never have sent
Speaker 4: me out to do stunts like that.
Speaker 3: I just didn't do.
Speaker 1: Wow. Are they called my folders the Dodger? Good Bye Budgers? Yeah? God,
Speaker 1: Budger Budger.
Speaker 4: Wow, look me in the eyes, Look me in the eyes.
Speaker 1: That's so funny. But you know what, think about it.
Speaker 1: If some Yahoo walks in front of you and you've
Speaker 1: been in line for twelve hours or whatever, Yeah, you're
Speaker 1: gonna be pissed. I had not heard that audio since
Speaker 1: that happened, and that was probably like two thousand and
Speaker 1: nine or something like that. Wow, that's good stuff. Thank you, intern, John.
Speaker 1: We'll be back in a second on Katie WB. What
Speaker 1: do we got coming up on the show? Anything good, Jane?
Speaker 4: Yeah, We're gonna play a little game that we do

Speaker 1: But we'll do it anyway, And it's coming up next
Speaker 1: on KATWB. We were talking about Black Friday a little
Speaker 1: while ago and whether people still do Black Fridays, and
Speaker 1: we didn't get a lot of text messages that people do,
Speaker 1: but somebody said, I work at the Walmart and Cambridge
Speaker 1: we are opening at six aarm on a ton of
Speaker 1: cash is or scheduled to start at five point forty five,
Speaker 1: including me. This one says, I work at jay Hill,
Speaker 1: that's women's clothing. We started our Black Friday today, So
Speaker 1: I think they do. They beat everybody to the punch,
Speaker 1: and I think that's kind of fun. Just totally a different,
Speaker 1: like societal shift where it used to be like, Okay,

Speaker 1: is doing Black Friday. They open at five am and
Speaker 1: they're giving away a snow globe. Now I'm amazed. I'm

Speaker 1: between your knuckles. Good job, guys, it's KTBB. Let's get
Speaker 1: right into Dave's dirt and wrap things up. Here we
Speaker 1: go Dave's Dirt on kt WB.
Speaker 2: Hot topics and breaking news every hour on Dave's Dirt on.
Speaker 1: Katie WB aka don't skip Breakfast. A lot of people
Speaker 1: think that tomorrow morning, the best way to prepare for
Speaker 1: the Thanksgiving feast is not eating at all on Thursday morning.
Speaker 1: Now that you think it's a winning strategy for being
Speaker 1: able to gobble up as much as humanly possible during
Speaker 1: the meal, but dietitians say the plan is gonna set
Speaker 1: you up for failure. Skipping meals could make you so
Speaker 1: hungry that you eat too much and too quickly, and
Speaker 1: then you feel lousy afterward. Elizabeth Shaw, who is a
Speaker 1: registered dietitian, says, your body's gonna appreciate being fed at
Speaker 1: regular times. Setting you up for success is you enter
Speaker 1: the eating occasions later in the day.
Speaker 5: Yeah, typically your mom doesn't let you in in the kitchen.
Speaker 5: I on my own, well at least with my girlfriend,
Speaker 5: but I'd probably still for the effect of Oh, I've
Speaker 5: been waiting for this food all day.
Speaker 1: Probably won't eat breakfast. I'm with you, bon I really
Speaker 1: don't eat it either. It's like, oh, we're gonna get you.
Speaker 1: What time we're gonna eat, Well, probably around three, and
Speaker 1: I'll be like, oh, it's take so much better. Totally true. Yep.
Speaker 2: Something to take the edge off at Thanksgiving dinner when
Speaker 2: your uncle Earl starts bringing up politics as marijuana, because
Speaker 2: apparently today is known as green Ones and as a millennial,
Speaker 2: I know it as blackout Wednesday because everyone goes to
Speaker 2: the bars and gets drunk.
Speaker 4: But this is the new thing.
Speaker 2: It's called green Wednesday because cannabis sales are the second
Speaker 2: highest today outside of on four twenty, which is known
Speaker 2: as the national holiday for marijuana. So you might see
Speaker 2: a couple of relatives a little bit high today or
Speaker 2: not today at Thanksgiving tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Oh that's temper. Are you going out to the bars
Speaker 1: or anything like that tonight? I mean it is anybody
Speaker 1: like you know, Thanksgiving night Eve is such a big
Speaker 1: bar night. And we're out in Colorado when we live
Speaker 1: about a mile away from a dumpy bar that's been
Speaker 1: there since before World War Two. It's in the same footprint,
Speaker 1: it looks the same as it always did. There's even
Speaker 1: carvings on the bar that's like, you know, hire Bob
Speaker 1: Jones nineteen forty one or whatever, and it's like, Wow,
Speaker 1: So we're going out to this dumpy neighborhood bar to
Speaker 1: have a couple of drinks and maybe play cards or whatever.
Speaker 1: What are you guys going to do?
Speaker 2: I mean from age nineteen, because you are allowed to
Speaker 2: drink with your parents at like age in Wisconsin.
Speaker 4: So from about nineteen.
Speaker 2: To twenty nine ish, I was at the bar, yes,
Speaker 2: every single Wednesday before Thanksgiving.
Speaker 4: But I passed that.
Speaker 2: I'm past that era of my life. Tonight, I'm gonna
Speaker 2: be at home, maybe have a glass of wine and
Speaker 2: get up early so I can watch the Macy's Things
Speaker 2: Giving Day, prey, that's my plan.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's cool, you know what, that's great fun. Yeah.
Speaker 5: I don't smoke weed, but I might pop a little
Speaker 5: edibuller too, so that like just vibe while we're sitting
Speaker 5: get ready to cook Thanksgiving dinner.
Speaker 4: So no bar for you, no body.
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe tomorrow we'll see you are.
Speaker 2: Your friends because you're young, you're in the era of
Speaker 2: where friends would like all get together in your hometown
Speaker 2: and go to the bar.
Speaker 4: Is that a thing in Jersey or not so much?
Speaker 1: I think it is. I didn't.
Speaker 5: We used to just do a bunch of friends givings
Speaker 5: and then we kind of get drunk there, yeah, or
Speaker 5: not even drunk, but just have a couple of SIPs.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So that's exciting. So I'm excited about this.
Speaker 5: It's a show called Star Search, which you're very familiar
Speaker 5: with if you were born in like the if you
Speaker 5: move around in the eighties or nineties.
Speaker 1: Netflix is bringing it back. Is a little clip.
Speaker 3: The Greatest Stars of Our Time is back live only
Speaker 3: on Netflix. The brand new Star Search. The next great
Speaker 3: star will be discovered.
Speaker 5: And I had this list earlier of stars that were
Speaker 5: discovered on the original run Martin Lawrence Ussher, Atlantis, Morris Said,
Speaker 5: Adam Sandler, Christina Aguilera, Beyonce, Justin Timberlake, Kevin James.
Speaker 1: There are so many, and I feel like for that purpose,
Speaker 1: it's cool for nostalgia.
Speaker 5: But it's just so easy to get popular these days
Speaker 5: because of the Internet, because of social media, and.
Speaker 1: We'll do it so differently now. It's like back then
Speaker 1: there was like a couple of avenues to get famous,
Speaker 1: and if you were on TV, back when there were
Speaker 1: only three networks, Star Search launched a lot of people
Speaker 1: because it was the only ticket in town.
Speaker 5: Really, yeah, would people go on and just like audition
Speaker 5: with whatever, like if it was stand up or singing?
Speaker 1: Exactly? Yeah, okay, exactly.
Speaker 2: And now there's just so many reality shows where you
Speaker 2: could potentially get famous, on top of the fact that
Speaker 2: you can get famous off of social media. So I
Speaker 2: just feel like nobody actually gets famous from these shows anymore.
Speaker 1: But I think nostalgia purposes.
Speaker 5: If you what if you liked the original Star Surge
Speaker 5: or just like reality shows period, this just might be
Speaker 5: something good for you to get into on Netflix.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Something else you guys should get into if you
Speaker 2: need some energy over the holiday season is go to
Speaker 2: holiday station stores and get some Celsius Strengths because I've
Speaker 2: got a sweet deal where you can get two for
Speaker 2: five dollars.
Speaker 1: Right now, WHOA are you serious?
Speaker 4: Exactly serious?
Speaker 1: All right, listen, happy Thanksgiving. We could give you a
Speaker 1: big corny speech about how thankful for you we are
Speaker 1: that you are here, that you listen, and I hope
Speaker 1: we express that gratitude all the time, because we really
Speaker 1: do love the fact that my favorite four hours of
Speaker 1: the day are usually right here on KWB, and even
Speaker 1: though you and I maybe never met before, I feel
Speaker 1: like some of the closest people are the people who
Speaker 1: listen to this show. And of course I love you guys,
Speaker 1: I love the people who work here. But I'm just
Speaker 1: I want to express a little thankfulness for the fact
Speaker 1: that you're here, whether you've listened for a day or
Speaker 1: whether you've listened for many years. Thank you. We really
Speaker 1: appreciate you, and hopefully that comes through. Christmas Wish starts
Speaker 1: on Monday when we come back. Be safe, drive safe,
Speaker 1: and have a great Thanksgiving. From KDWB
