WE HAD LORI OUT BY SWEET MARTHA'S COOKIES BECAUSE AS YOU LEARNED ON THIS HOUR A COUPLE DAYS AGO, LORI'S CHEAP TRICK IS TO NOT BUY YOUR OWN SWEET MARTHA'S. BUT WHAT, LORI? STEAL THEM FROM OTHER PEOPLE, RIGHT? YOU ASK? CAN I HELP YOU SO YOU DON'T SPILL A BUNCH OF COOKIES? I'LL TAKE THE TOP TWO OR TOP ONE, YOU KNOW, AND AS YOU FOUND, PEOPLE ARE GENEROUS PEOPLE.

NOW REMEMBER, WE'RE A FAMILY SHOW, SO DESCRIBE IT AS BEST YOU CAN. YEAH.

A TEENAGER WILL NOT APPEAR ON THE NEW SEASON AFTER TELLING HIS MOM THE SHOW IS TOO NEGATIVE FOR HIM. IF YOU DON'T REMEMBER OR YOU DON'T WATCH THE SHOW, THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED. 14 YEAR OLD JAX BECAME THE TARGET OF ONLINE TROLLS A COUPLE YEARS AGO, WHEN HOUSEWIFE ERIKA JAYNE CURSED AT HIM DURING THIS THIS PARTY SCENE. NOW LOOK, SHE APOLOGIZED. BUT MANY SO-CALLED FANS TARGETED THE TEENAGER ON SOCIAL MEDIA. GROWN ADULTS TARGETED THIS TEENAGER. GARCELLE BASHED THE TROLLS, SAYING HER KIDS DID NOT SIGN UP FOR THE HATE.

YEP EVERY QUESTION IS A GOOD QUESTION. NO. OKAY. YOU'RE BEING VERY YOU'RE BEING VERY NICE. BUT I WAS TALKING TO ANOTHER FFA REPRESENTATIVE WHO SAID SOMEBODY CAME UP AND SAID, WHAT'S MANURE?

THEY CAN GO ON THAT $40 A PIECE, TOO. AND I'M NOT JOKING. A JASON SHOW VIEWER PAID FOR BJORN AND JEFF TO GO ON THAT RIDE. WE WERE GONNA PAY FOR IT AND EXPENSE IT ANYWAY. COMING UP IN A LITTLE BIT, WE'RE GOING TO GO BACK ON STAGE AND HAVE SOME FUN WITH THIS AUDIENCE. THE WIN SOMETHING AND OH. IF YOU'RE ANYBODY WATCHING THE BACHELORETTE, WE HAVE ONE OF THE STARS OF THE BACHELORETTE LIVE ON OUR STAGE. WHEN THE JASON SHOW CONTINUES LIVE FROM THE MINNESOTA STATE FAIR. BACK AND WE'RE BACK. DAY SEVEN OF THE MINNESOTA STATE FAIR. OUR SPECIAL SECOND HOUR OF THE SHOW. WELL, YOU KNOW, OUR NEXT GUEST IS THE BACHELORETTE FROM MINNESOTA. MICHELLE YOUNG IS NOW USING HER PLATFORM FOR GOOD, BY BUILDING A BETTER FUTURES FOR OUR KIDS STATE FAIR AUDIENCE. GIVE IT UP FOR MICHELLE YOUNG. EVERYBODY GOOD TO SEE YOU. NICE TO SEE YOU. YOU WERE IN OUR STUDIO A COUPLE MONTHS AGO. YEAH. OH. GO, ROYAL. HAHAHA! GO, ROYALS, ARE YOU A STATE FAIR LOVER IN GENERAL, I AM OKAY. I ALWAYS SAY THAT I'M GOING TO EAT MORE FOOD THAN I ACTUALLY EAT THOUGH, BECAUSE I GET FULL. SO QUICK. WELL, DO YOU HAVE A. I KNOW THIS IS A TYPICAL QUESTION, BUT EVERYONE DOES. DO YOU HAVE A FAVORITE FAIR FOOD OR SOMETHING YOU HAVE TO TRY TO GET WHEN YOU'RE HERE? I ALWAYS HAVE TO GO FOR THE PRONTO PUP. I FEEL LIKE THAT'S VERY COMMON. YEAH, BUT I WILL SAY I HATE OLIVES AND THE FRIED OLIVES HAVE HANDS DOWN BEEN MY FAVORITE. REALLY? YES. THE FRIED. YEAH, THE FRIED. I'VE HAD THEM. AND I DO NOT WEAR. WE'RE CHEERING FOR OLIVES TOO. YEAH. ROW ONE'S REALLY LOVING YOU. SHE'S AGREEING WITH EVERYTHING. NO, THE OLIVE BOOTH IS BACK THERE. YOU KNOW I DO NOT LIKE OLIVES. I DON'T MIND THEM, THOUGH. FRIED. BUT I LIKE ANYTHING FRIED. I MEAN, FRY UP ANYTHING, BUT. SO HOW ARE THINGS? WILL YOU TELL THE FOLKS WHEN YOU WERE HERE LAST TIME YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT YOUR FOUNDATION? REMIND THE FOLKS OR TELL THE FOLKS WHAT THE FOUNDATION, WHAT THE GOAL IS. I RECENTLY LAUNCHED A FOUNDATION, THE MICHELLE YOUNG FOUNDATION, AND WE HAVE A PROGRAM CURRENTLY GOING RIGHT NOW CALLED HOMEWORK AND HOOPS. AND WITH THAT PROGRAM, IT'S AFTER SCHOOL TUTORING FOR UNDERSERVED STUDENTS. SO THEY GET TUTORING WITH LITERACY AND MATH, AND THEN THEY GET TO PLAY AN ORGANIZED SPORT, WHICH A LOT OF STUDENTS WHO ARE IN THE UNDERSERVED COMMUNITY DON'T ACTUALLY GET THE OPPORTUNITY TO PLAY AN ACCESSIBLE SPORT OR AN ORGANIZED SPORT. SO WE GET TO PLAY BASKETBALL AND WE HAVE OUR BASKETBALL COACHES THERE TO TRAIN THEM. AND YOU FOR PEOPLE THAT DON'T KNOW YOU, I'M GOING TO USE PRESENT TENSE. YOU ARE AN EDUCATOR. YOU ARE A TEACHER. I, I KNOW, AND WE'VE SAID THIS WHEN YOU WERE ON BEFORE. I KNOW THE VALUE, WHETHER IT'S SPORTS OR AN EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITY, THE VALUE OF THAT IN A KID'S LIFE. YOU BELIEVE THAT AS WELL. THAT IT'S MORE THAN JUST THE CLASSROOM. IT'S THESE CLUBS AND ACTIVITIES THAT REALLY HELP TO FORM THE FOUNDATION OF THESE YOUNG PEOPLE. YEAH. WHEN YOU REALLY THINK ABOUT HOW A CHILD ACTUALLY FORMS, A LOT OF TIMES IT'S THE EXPERIENCES OUTSIDE OF SCHOOL. SO YOU HEAR ABOUT LIKE THE OPPORTUNITY GAP. YES. AND ACCESSIBILITY. WE DON'T CALL IT THE ACHIEVEMENT GAP ANYWHERE ANYMORE. IT REALLY IS THOSE OPPORTUNITIES OUTSIDE OF SCHOOL, YOU KNOW, LEARNING TO OVERCOME ADVERSITY. ALL THOSE SOCIAL SKILLS, THOSE THINGS THAT ACTUALLY TEACH YOU TO OVERCOME ADVERSITY AND WORK THROUGH LIFE AS A HUMAN. AND THAT'S WHAT WE DO. WE PROVIDE THOSE OPPORTUNITIES. I ALWAYS TALK ABOUT, YOU KNOW, MY OUR FRIENDSHIP GROUPS. MY FRIENDSHIP GROUPS DIDN'T COME FROM CLASSROOM INTERACTION. THEY CAME FROM THE CLUBS THAT I BELONGED IN. AND THOSE PEOPLE SHAPED MY LIFE EXACTLY. YEAH. TALK ABOUT THE BACKPACK CAMPAIGN WE'RE CURRENTLY RUNNING A BACKPACK CAMPAIGN RIGHT NOW. IT'S A BACK TO SCHOOL PROJECT. BACKPACK AND IT'S $40 FOR A BACKPACK. BASICALLY WHAT WE'LL DO IS WE'LL PACK THESE BACKPACKS WITH A BUNCH OF MATERIALS. SO YOU HAVE YOUR NOTEBOOKS, YOU HAVE YOUR PENCILS, YOU HAVE ALL THE ESSENTIALS. AND THAT BACKPACK IS GOING TO GO TO A STUDENT IN NEED. AND SO WE'LL DROP THEM OFF AT THE SCHOOL. AND WHAT'S GREAT ABOUT THAT TOO, IS ALSO SUPPORTS TEACHERS, BECAUSE WHEN I WAS IN THE CLASSROOM, I USED SO MUCH OF MY OWN PAYCHECK, WHICH WAS NOT A LOT TO PURCHASE THESE MATERIALS. AND SO WE'RE ALSO PROVIDING MATERIALS TO THE CLASSROOM AS WELL, SO THAT TEACHERS ARE NOT USING THEIR OWN PAYCHECK. I ANYONE THAT WATCHES THE SHOW KNOWS I LOVE TEACHERS. MY THIRD GRADE TEACHER WAS ON THE SHOW. LET ME READ THIS STAT HERE. THIS SURPRISED ME AND MADE ME SAD. 90% OF TEACHERS SPEND THEIR OWN MONEY ON SCHOOL SUPPLIES. 90%? YES, WELL HOW? I MEAN, I DON'T MEAN TO PUT YOU ON THE SPOT WITH AN AVERAGE LIKE AN AVERAGE MONTH. HOW MUCH MONEY DO YOU THINK YOU WOULD SPEND WHEN YOU WERE IN THE CLASSROOM? THERE'S SO MUCH THERE'S NOT A LOT OF FUNDING IN EDUCATION. AND SO I THINK THAT'S THE PIECE OF IT TOO, IS THAT DEPENDING ON WHAT SCHOOL OR WHAT SCHOOL DISTRICT YOU'RE IN, SUPPLIES RUN OUT KLEENEX, FLU SEASON, HAND SANITIZER. YOU GO THROUGH COVID, YOU HAVE HAND WIPES, ALL THESE DIFFERENT THINGS YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR THAT IF YOU RUN OUT. AND SO I USED A LOT OF MONEY PROBABLY THROUGHOUT THE SCHOOL YEAR, MORE SO LIKE 600 TO 2 GRAND. I WOULD SAY OUT OF MY OWN MONEY. OKAY. SPEECHLESS ON THAT ONE. HOMEWORK AND HOOPS. TELL ME ABOUT THAT. HOMEWORK AND HOOPS. AND SO WE'RE DOING A TUTORING PROGRAM FOR OUR STUDENTS. IT'S A SMALL GROUP LEARNING PROGRAM. AND SO THEY'RE GETTING THAT TARGETED INSTRUCTION. THEY'RE ABLE TO GET THAT ONE ON ONE INDIVIDUAL HELP. WE'RE ABLE TO KIND OF CATCH THEM UP BECAUSE A LOT OF OUR UNDERSERVED STUDENTS AFTER COVID, THEY'RE EVEN FURTHER BEHIND. SO WE'RE SHOWING THE AVERAGE STUDENT HAS KIND OF CAUGHT UP. NOW, OUR UNDERSERVED STUDENTS ARE NOW EVEN FURTHER BEHIND. SO REALLY KIND OF TARGETING INSTRUCTION SO THAT THEY CAN GET THAT HELP. I SAID THIS TO YOU WHEN YOU WERE ON THE SHOW IN OUR STUDIO, THAT I LOVE WHAT YOU HAVE DONE AND THAT IS YOU'VE USED SOMETHING GOOFY, TRULY, LIKE, I MEAN, WHAT WE'RE DOING IS GOOFY, BUT YOU USE THE GOOFY CELEBRITY THAT COMES FROM BEING ON THE BACHELORETTE FOR GOOD. AND I MEAN THAT IT SOUNDS CHEESY, BUT I COMPLIMENT YOU FOR TAKING THAT OPPORTUNITY AND NOT JUST LETTING IT DIE ON THE VINE, USING IT, USING WHAT YOU GOT FROM THE BACHELORETTE TO SHINE A LIGHT ON THESE THINGS. WAS THAT INTENTIONAL ON YOUR PART? I WAS KIND OF THRUSTED INTO THE SOCIAL MEDIA WORLD. LIKE I'VE SAID, I THINK WE TALKED ABOUT THIS BEFORE. I HAD SOCIAL MEDIA, WHEN I GOT THE BACHELORETTE, SO I SO I REALLY DIDN'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO POST LIKE AN INSTAGRAM STORY. I DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO WORK ANYTHING. THEY HAD TO SHOW ME THE ROPES. AND I KIND OF REALIZED HOW TOXIC SOCIAL MEDIA IS. THERE'S SO MUCH HATE. THERE'S SO MANY MENTAL HEALTH PRESSURES AND ISSUES THAT GO ON THERE. AND I'M LIKE, WHY DO PEOPLE STAY IN THIS BUSINESS? I HAVE TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO MAKE MY PLATFORM AND MAKE IT FULFILLING. AND FOR ME, IT'S GIVING BACK. IT'S USING IT FOR GOOD. IT'S USING IT FOR POSITIVITY TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE AND NOT FOR, YOU KNOW, THE OTHER STUFF. CAN I ASK YOU ON THAT TOPIC? WE HAD OUR FRIEND LESLIE FEMA. THE MINNESOTA AUDIENCE WILL KNOW HER. SHE WAS FROM THE GOLDEN BACHELORETTE, A FRIEND OF OURS. YEAH, LESLIE WAS GREAT. LESLIE IS GREAT. IT IT I KNEW THIS. I SHOULDN'T HAVE ASKED SURPRISED, BUT IT BROKE MY HEART. TOWARD THE END OF HER INTERVIEW, SHE TALKED ABOUT THAT. HOW WONDERFUL THE BACHELOR NATION IS. BUT THERE IS A RIVER OF NEGATIVITY. YOU KNOW WHAT I'M GOING TO SAY? LESLIE WAS REALLY HURT. THERE WAS A RECENT SOMETHING WHEN SHE WAS ON THE SHOW, SOMETHING HAD JUST HAPPENED AND SHE GOT A WAVE OF TOXIC FEEDBACK ON ON SOCIAL MEDIA. I'M BRINGING THAT UP BECAUSE BRINGING IT TO YOU, HOW DID YOU FILTER THAT OUT DURING YOUR TIME ON THE BACHELOR? DID YOU JUST WHAT WAS YOUR STRATEGY? NOT LOOKING AT SOCIAL MEDIA, HAVING A FRIEND DO IT? HOW DID YOU PROTECT YOURSELF? I THINK I REALLY MADE SURE THAT I REMINDED MYSELF, AND I HAD FRIENDS AND FAMILY TO REMIND MYSELF THAT I WAS A PART OF THE EXPERIENCE. I WENT THROUGH THE EXPERIENCE. I KNEW THE FULL STORY, BUT NOT EVERYBODY SEES THE FULL STORY. YOU SEE A SNIPPET. AND SO THERE'S TIMES WHERE IT IS A REFLECTION AND YOU HAVE TO REFLECT ON YOURSELF, AND THERE'S TIMES ALSO WHERE YOU'RE LOOKING AT IT AND YOU HAVE TO REMIND YOURSELF OF NOT EVERYONE KNOWS THE FULL STORY. THEY JUMPED TO CONCLUSIONS. AND THAT'S REALLY HARD TO DO. EASIER SAID THAN DONE. AND IF YOU'RE HAVING A HARD DAY, STAY OFF SOCIAL MEDIA. STAY OUT OF THE COMMENTS BECAUSE YOU CAN GET SEVEN GREAT COMPLIMENTS, COMMENTS ON SOCIAL MEDIA. THE ONE NEGATIVE ONE YOU WILL. IT'LL RUIN YOUR DAY. IT'LL. YES, I'VE HAD A LOT OF WEDNESDAYS RUINED BY THAT. ANYWAY, GIVE IT UP FOR MICHELLE YOUNG. EVERYBODY FOR INFORMATION ON EVERYTHING WE TALKED ABOUT, HEAD TO THE MICHELLE YOUNG FOUNDATION.COM TO LEARN HOW YOU CAN HELP OR.ORG RIGHT THERE. DON'T LISTEN TO ME. READ THE SCREEN. I'VE BEEN HERE SINCE 4 A.M. JUST READ THE SCREEN. WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK. BACK IN A MOMENT. EVERYBODY WELCOME BACK. WELL, WHO DOESN'T LOVE ICE CREAM ON A HOT DAY OR, WELL, COLD ONE FOR THAT MATTER. THE MINNESOTA DAIRY LAB IS THE HOME TO SOME OF THE MOST CREATIVE AND DELICIOUS ICE CREAM FLAVORS YOU EVER DID SEE, AND SOME ARE BEING USED IN DISHES RIGHT HERE AT THE STATE FAIR. AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, WHEN WE WANTED TO DO A PROFILE OF THIS, THERE'S ONLY ONE PERSON TO SEND, AND THAT'S OUR FOODIE QUEEN. THE HOST OF TASTE BUDS. YOU CAN FIND THAT ON FOX LOCAL, THE ONE AND ONLY STEPHANIE HANSEN, WITH FLAVORS LIKE SWEET CORN AND KETTLE CHIPS OR SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE, HERE'S A LOOK AT THE DAIRY LAB. TAKE A LOOK. YOU WANT THAT ICE CREAM? THE MINNESOTA DAIRY LAB ICE CREAM. WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE KIND OF ICE CREAM? SPRINKLERS ON, SPRINKLERS ON IT. I LIKE SPRINKLERS ON MY VANILLA ICE CREAM, TOO. SHOULD WE BOTH TAKE A BITE? OKAY, LET'S DO IT. THOSE ARE GOOD SPRINKLERS. ALL RIGHT, SO I'M HERE WITH PHIL FARZIN AGAIN, AND I KNOW I'M FROZEN AGAIN. FROZEN AGAIN FOR THE SECOND TIME. PERFECT AGAIN. WE ARE AT YOUR UNOFFICIAL SECRET SCOOP SHOP AT THE PAINTED TURTLE AT LAKE NOKOMIS. YEAH. SO THE SCOOP SHOP HERE IS A SECRET SCOOP SHOP, BECAUSE YOU'RE REALLY DOING PRIMARILY WHOLESALE AND WORKING WITH RESTAURATEURS. YEAH. SO WE ARE IN 25, 30 RESTAURANTS AND RETAILERS, RIGHT NOW, PAINTED TURTLE IS OUR ONLY YOU KNOW, KIND OF LARGER FORMAT SCOOP SHOP OPERATION. SO THEY'VE GOT NINE FLAVORS HERE, A ROTATING SORBET FROM MAY TO OCTOBER. YOU CAN GET THE BIGGEST SELECTION OF OUR STUFF ANYWHERE. WHAT DID YOU SAY? I SAID I'M ADDICTED TO THE OOPS ALL CHOCOLATE AND I'M MAD AT PHIL. YOU'RE IN TROUBLE. PHIL I KNOW, I KNOW, I KNOW, IT'S EVERY SUMMER I LOSE WEIGHT RUNNING THIS PLACE. THIS IS THE FIRST SUMMER THAT I'VE STAYED THE SAME. OH, NO. IT'S ALL BECAUSE OF. OOPS. ALL CHOCOLATE. TELL ME A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT MINNESOTA DAIRY LAB IS DOING AND HOW YOU GOT INTO THE STATE FAIR. FINALLY. YEAH SO THE FAIR. I GOT A PHONE CALL AND, HEY, THESE GUYS FROM THE FAIR ARE LOOKING FOR A NEW ICE CREAM. AND THIS IS EARLY ON. THIS IS A COUPLE YEARS AGO. WE HAD REALLY JUST STARTED BECAUSE PEOPLE DON'T, I THINK, GET THAT IT TAKES A WHILE TO GET THE NEW FAIR FOODS TOGETHER. LIKE PEOPLE ARE DOING RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT ALL THE TIME. OH YEAH, WE'RE ALREADY TALKING ABOUT NEXT YEAR. THESE GUYS REACHED OUT WAY IN ADVANCE. THEY AT FIRST THEY WERE JUST REALLY INTERESTED IN ME MAKING THEIR SWEET CORN, WHICH IS THEIR PARTICULAR RECIPE, THAT THEY'VE BEEN DOING THE SAME WAY FOR, GOSH, AT LEAST 15 YEARS. AND THEY WANTED THEIR RECIPE, BUT JUST MADE IN A LITTLE BIT HIGHER END WAY CREAM. I MADE THEM LIKE 30 DIFFERENT VARIATIONS. YOU KNOW, I WAS ROASTING THE CORN, I WAS TOASTING THE HUSKS. I WAS INFUSING THIS, MAKING A SWEET CORN CARAMEL AND DOING ALL THAT. AND AT THE END OF IT, WE KIND OF JUST CAME BACK TO THEIR ORIGINAL RECIPE WITH OUR SWEET CREAM BASE. IT WAS A KNOCKOUT, YOU KNOW, IT WENT REALLY, REALLY WELL. AND THEN THIS YEAR, JEFF FROM RECTANGLE PIZZA AND I AND HIS FRIEND FRANK RUSH, OWNER OF WEST END CREAMERY, SAID, HEY, WE'D LOVE TO DO SOMETHING WITH BOTH OF YOU GUYS. THAT'S HOW THE PATATA FRITA FOCACCIA WAS BORN. SO IT'S RECTANGLE PIZZA, HONEY, YOU SAY IT ONE MORE TIME. IT'S PATATA PATATA FRITTA FOCACCIA, WHICH FOCACCIA? WHICH FOCACCIA? IT'S A FOCACCIA THAT WAS NOT THE ORIGINAL NAME. THAT WAS THE STATE FAIR. REJECTED OUR ORIGINAL NAME AND SAID, ACTUALLY, WE WANT IT TO BE LONGER. AND SO THEY WANTED WE HAD A VERY FUNNY, KIND OF SHORT, QUIPPY NAME AND THEY SAID, WELL, WHY DON'T WE DO THIS REALLY LONG MOUTHFUL THING? SO PATATA FRITTATA, FOCACCIA, WHICH PATATA FRITA FOCACCIA WHICH FRIDA NOT FRIDA FRIDA. OKAY. FRIDA I KNOW I'M GOING TO SAY THIS FRIDA CAR ON AIR. YEAH PATATA. FRIDA. FOCACCIA. WISH YEAH. OKAY. FINALLY I HAD TO, LIKE, THINK SO HARD. I KNOW I'M GOING TO SCREW IT UP. OH, YEAH. OH, YEAH, IT'S A MOUTHFUL. I MEAN, IT BOTH LITERALLY. AND YOU KNOW HOW YOU PRONOUNCE IT. IT'S WHAT'S IN IT. IT'S A RECTANGLE. PIZZA, HONEY BUTTER FOCACCIA, WHICH IS DELICIOUS, WHICH IS, WE ALL KNOW IS VERY, VERY GOOD. AND IT'S OUR KETTLE CHIP ICE CREAM. SO AGAIN, THIS WAS A CUSTOM FLAVOR THAT WE TON OF BACK AND FORTH. A TON OF R&D WENT INTO THIS. WE USE, YOU KNOW, OLD DUTCH KETTLE CHIPS. THEY GET PASTEURIZED IN WITH OUR BASE. WE ADD A LITTLE BIT OF EXTRA SALT JUST TO KIND OF REALLY DRY OUT THAT POTATO CHIP FLAVOR. THEY GET STRAINED OUT, YOU KNOW. SO IT'S A SMOOTH FINISH AND THAT IT'S OKAY. SO IT ISN'T LIKE IT'S CRUNCHY ON THE INSIDE. ALTHOUGH IT IS FINISHED WITH DRY HERB TOASTED KETTLE CHIPS. YOU GET THE SWEET, YOU GET THE SALTY, YOU GET THE SAVORY, YOU GET THE CRUNCH FROM THE CHIPS. WE REALLY, REALLY WERE GOING FOR RECREATING THE EXPERIENCE OF DIPPING A FRENCH FRY IN A MILKSHAKE. AND IT IS 100% THAT I CANNOT WAIT TO TRY THIS NEW FLAVOR. THE FEEDBACK HAS BEEN HUGE. YOU CAN TRY THAT AT THE WEST END CREAMERY AT THE WEST END MARKET. THE SWEET CREAM ICE CREAM IS USED IN THE ICE CREAM FLOAT, BY THE WAY, AT BLUE MOON DINE-IN THEATER. WHAT ARE YOU DOING OVER THERE? WHAT ARE YOU DOING? DO THAT ONE MORE TIM. I TOLD HER SHE'S GONNA. I SAID WHEN I RETIRE, SHE CAN HAVE THE SHOW. I WISH I COULD. YEAH, YOU COULD, YOU CAN HAVE YOU CAN HAVE THE SHOW WHEN I'M DONE. I'M GETTING. I HAVE A NEW SET. YOU CAN HAVE A NEW SET. OKAY. TIME IN MY LIFE, I DO. I DREAM. OKAY, I'LL MAKE YOUR DREAM COME TRUE. I'LL RETIRE SOON. YOU CAN HAVE IT. OKAY. ONE MORE THING. MY BIRTHDAY. ALMOST HALFWAY HERE. ALMOST EARLIER I LOVE YOU. WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A BREAK. WE'LL BE BACK LIVE FROM THE FAIR RIGHT AFTER THIS WELCOME BACK. EVERYBODY WE'RE SO GLAD YOU'RE HERE. A GREAT AUDIENCE FOR OUR SECOND HOUR. WELL, SPEAKING OF OUR SECOND HOUR, I SAID THIS AT THE TOP OF THE SHOW. ONE OF THE GREAT THINGS ABOUT THIS WAS THE FACT THAT WE WERE GOING TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPOTLIGHT SOME LOCAL BUSINESSES AND, SO EVERY, WELL, MOST DAYS OF THE FAIR, WE TRY TO DO A MINNESOTA BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT. AND TODAY WE'RE GOING TO SPOTLIGHT WOLF RIVER ELECTRIC BECAUSE WE WANT YOU TO BE INTRODUCED TO SOME OF THESE BUSINESSES. GIVE IT UP FOR GENERAL MANAGER JUSTIN AND CHIEF MARKETING OFFICER JASON. HI GUYS. HOW'S IT GOING? JASON? I WON'T FORGET JASON'S NAME OR JUSTIN. THERE AREN'T A LOT OF US LEFT. THERE'S NOT A LOT OF JASON'S ANYMORE. THERE SHOULD BE MORE. THERE SHOULD BE MORE. WE'RE DYING OFF LIKE VELOCIRAPTORS ANYWAY. THAT'S NOT WHY YOU'RE HERE. CONGRATULATIONS ON TEN YEARS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. BUSINESS. HOW DID THIS START, YOU GUYS, HOW DID, WOLF RIVER START? SO IT, YOU KNOW, ME AND MY TWO BEST FRIENDS STARTED IT. MY PARENTS BASEMENT WHEN WE WERE LIKE, 19. REALLY? YEAH. YEAH. AND, YOU KNOW, JUST, TRIAL AND ERROR. AND WE HAD A PASSION FOR THE PEOPLE OF MINNESOTA AND HELPING PEOPLE SAVE MONEY ANY WAY WE CAN. SO WE KIND OF BUILT OUR, OUR BUSINESS PHILOSOPHY OFF THAT. AND YEAH, HERE WE ARE TODAY. LET ME ASK YOU, BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW, I'M A GOOD CONDUIT TO THE VIEWER BECAUSE I HONESTLY AM NATURALLY CURIOUS ABOUT SOLAR, BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW A LOT ABOUT IT. WHAT IS THE BIGGEST MISCONCEPTION EITHER OF YOU CAN TAKE? THIS QUESTION ABOUT SOLAR ENERGY? WELL, I THINK THE BIGGEST MISCONCEPTION IS THAT, YOU KNOW, IT'S, YOU KNOW, THERE'S, A PUSH FOR IT OR THAT IT'S NOT PRACTICAL OR THAT IT'S EXPENSIVE OR THAT THE TECHNOLOGY IS JUST NOT THERE. AND THE CRAZY THING IS, IT'S LIKE, YOU GOTTA YOU GOTTA UNDERSTAND THAT SOLAR IS A WAY TO OWN YOUR OWN POWER. I MEAN, WE ALL, EVERYBODY WHO HAS, YOU KNOW, A HOME PAYS EVERY MONTH TO UTILITY BILL. IT'S LIKE, IMAGINE NEVER HAVING TO PAY A UTILITY BILL AGAIN. IN FACT, IN SOME SITUATIONS, YOU CAN GET PAID FROM THE UTILITY COMPANY EVERY SINGLE MONTH. AND THAT'S WHY IT'S PRACTICAL. AND NOW IN 2024, WHOEVER WANTS TO TAKE THIS GO AHEAD HAS THE PRICE COME DOWN? BECAUSE I THINK ANOTHER FOR CONSUMERS, I THINK PEOPLE HEAR SOLAR AND THEY GO, OH MY LORD, IT'S TOO EXPENSIVE, IT'S NOT IT'S NOT AS EXPENSIVE AS PEOPLE WOULD THINK. AM I RIGHT ON THAT? YOU'RE RIGHT. YEAH. AND I MEAN, IN MOST CASES, YOU KNOW, WHAT WE DO IS WE FIGURE OUT WHAT SOMEBODY'S NEED IS, RIGHT? KNOWING THE NEED, FIGURING OUT THE PARAMETERS AROUND THEIR HOUSE AND HOW THE ROOF IS DESIGNED AND WHICH, YOU KNOW, DIRECTION IT FACES. AND THEN WE TRY TO COME UP WITH A WAY FOR IT TO BE, YOU KNOW, RIGHT AROUND WHAT THEY'RE PAYING. RIGHT NOW FOR POWER. SO SOMETIMES IT MIGHT BE $50 MORE, $100 MORE, IT MIGHT BE $50 LESS. BUT THAT'S WHY WE COME UP WITH A SPECIFIC SOLUTION. SO YOU CAN TRANSFER THE PAYMENT THAT YOU'RE MAKING RIGHT NOW TO THE UTILITY OVER TO OWNING YOUR OWN POWER. WHEN AND I KNOW THIS IS A GENERALITY, BUT I ALSO THINK PEOPLE ARE THINKING RIGHT NOW, OKAY, THIS IS GREAT. THERE'S AN INITIAL INVESTMENT LIKE THERE IS WITH A LOT OF THINGS. WHEN WILL THAT START TO PAY OFF? GENERALLY SPEAKING, WHEN DOES IT START BENEFITING? OH MONTH? ONE MONTH? I MEAN REALLY I THINK THAT'S CRAZY. WELL, YOU HAVE A HOME, RIGHT? WHAT DO YOU PAY EVERY MONTH? TOO MUCH. NO I, NO, I HAVE A CONDO, SO I'M A LITTLE. BUT MY BUT MY, MY MOTHER IN LAW HAS IT. MY MOM HAS, PROBABLY LIKE, $100 A MONTH, $120 A MONTH. SURE. SO IMAGINE IF YOUR MOTHER IN LAW, INSTEAD OF PAYING 120, $120 TO THE UTILITY, PAID IT TOWARDS, A PAYMENT OF, YOU KNOW, WHATEVER RIGHT AROUND THERE TO PAY OFF A SOLAR SYSTEM. IT'S LIKE RENTING VERSUS OWNING YOUR HOME RIGHT? RENTING. YOU GET NOTHING BACK, YOU GET NO EQUITY. BUT WHEN YOU'RE PAYING OFF A SOLAR SYSTEM, YOU'RE MAKING THE SAME PAYMENT RIGHT AROUND THERE. AND IT'S EQUITY. YOU GET TO KEEP THAT MONEY AND IT RAISES THE VALUE OF THE HOME. ANYBODY WATCHING IS ALMOST ANY HOUSE A GOOD CANDIDATE OR WHAT IS THE OPTIMAL CANDIDATE? HOUSEWIVES. YEAH. SO YOU KNOW SOLAR IS FOR EVERYBODY. BUT SOLAR IS NOT FOR EVERY HOME. RIGHT. AND THAT'S WHY YOU WANT TO PARTNER WITH US. SO WE CAN COME IN AND TAKE A LOOK AT EXACTLY WHAT THE NEEDS OF THE HOME IS. AND IT MIGHT NOT WORK OUT IF THERE'S TOO MUCH SHADING, IF IT'S IN A CERTAIN AREA WITH A CERTAIN UTILITY. BUT THAT'S WHY YOU WANT TO TAKE A LOOK AND PARTNER WITH, YOU KNOW, A GROUP LIKE WOLF RIVER, YOU KNOW, AND ALSO YOU GUYS CAN JUMP RIGHT ONLINE. WOLF RIVER ELECTRIC COMM. THERE'S A 3D MODEL YOU CAN ACTUALLY PUNCH YOUR ADDRESS IN, PUT IN YOUR UTILITY BILL, PUT IN HOW MUCH IT IS. IT WILL LITERALLY MAP SOLAR RIGHT ONTO YOUR ROOF. LET'S YOU DO A 3D WALK AROUND OF YOUR HOUSE AND SEE EXACTLY WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE. AND IF YOU WANT MORE INFORMATION, CLICK THE BUTTON AND SOMEBODY CONTACTS YOU RIGHT AWAY. DOES THE WOLF COME OVER AND INSTALL IT FOR YOU OR IS IT ABSOLUTELY FOR YOU? OH, THANK YOU. THE WOLF WOULD HELP OUT. OKAY, WELL, LET ME TELL YOU ALL THE WAYS TO GET AHOLD OF THESE GUYS, BECAUSE YOU SHOULD. WOLF RIVER ELECTRIC, GO TO WOLF RIVER. RIVER. WE'LL PUT IT RIGHT THERE. RIGHT THERE. SEE RIGHT THERE.
