WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.840 --> 00:00:04.799 All right, here we go with the Minnesota Goodbye, and we have not 2 00:00:04.879 --> 00:00:07.960 pre read the emails, so we're gonna make sure that well, we'll see 3 00:00:08.000 --> 00:00:12.519 what happens. Safest bed is click on one that says Minnesota Goodbye. That's 4 00:00:12.560 --> 00:00:15.320 a good start. Yeah, please don't say my name. I'm listening to 5 00:00:15.359 --> 00:00:19.359 the old Minnesota goodbyes. And I stumbled across Jenny's last Christmas parody song. 6 00:00:20.239 --> 00:00:24.879 It was hilarious. Which one was it? Jenny? It was about when 7 00:00:24.920 --> 00:00:28.120 I was single and I talked about like swiping left and right on Tinder and 8 00:00:28.199 --> 00:00:31.760 how like last Christmas I hooked up with someone because of Tinder and now this 9 00:00:31.879 --> 00:00:35.240 Christmas I'm lonely. Kind of based on like the premise of the actual song, 10 00:00:35.520 --> 00:00:38.759 but it was very inappropriate. It was about like getting it in and 11 00:00:39.320 --> 00:00:43.479 yeah, I could only play it on the Minnesota Goodbye. So I played 12 00:00:43.479 --> 00:00:47.240 it for you two and that's the only time. It's a well they said, 13 00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:49.200 I know him late to the party, but I've never heard so many 14 00:00:49.280 --> 00:00:52.960 bleeps in a song before good thing. I was working from home because I 15 00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:57.079 was busting out laughing. Any who. I was watching the documentary about the 16 00:00:57.119 --> 00:01:00.399 Malaysia Airlines flight that disappeared about ten years ago. It made me wonder, 17 00:01:00.799 --> 00:01:03.200 how could a big ours plane disappear off the face of the earth. Dave, 18 00:01:03.280 --> 00:01:06.799 I was wondering, since you're a pilot, what do you think could 19 00:01:06.799 --> 00:01:12.319 have happened? I think that they turned off the basically anything that let radar 20 00:01:12.439 --> 00:01:17.480 follow them. I think the pilots deliberately turned that off. And I think 21 00:01:17.519 --> 00:01:22.319 they deliberately flew somewhere where people didn't expect them to go, and they ran 22 00:01:22.359 --> 00:01:26.480 out of fuel and crashed into the middle of the vast probably Indian Ocean. 23 00:01:26.040 --> 00:01:32.719 And they looked in the wrong place for weeks, and when they finally looked 24 00:01:32.719 --> 00:01:36.480 somewhere else, all the wreckage had sank. Wow, there was a piece 25 00:01:36.519 --> 00:01:40.799 of wreckage that washed up on the shore somewhere. But people now are so 26 00:01:41.760 --> 00:01:44.599 mixed up in what the truth and lies are that people think the piece of 27 00:01:44.599 --> 00:01:48.680 wreckage was planted. What's a conspiracy theory and not? Because that something like 28 00:01:48.760 --> 00:01:52.799 that creates so many conspiracy theories. Well, and there have been pilots, 29 00:01:52.840 --> 00:01:57.439 absolutely that have purposely crashed their own planes. It has happened more than once. 30 00:01:57.719 --> 00:02:00.719 I'll give you a famous example. There was an airliner called German Wings 31 00:02:00.319 --> 00:02:07.959 five or ten years ago, where the co pilot waited until the pilot walked 32 00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:09.879 out to go to the bathroom. Then he locked the door, wouldn't let 33 00:02:09.919 --> 00:02:13.560 them in, and he crashed the plane full of people into the mountains. 34 00:02:14.159 --> 00:02:19.759 So there definitely are times when when the pilots will crash their own plane. 35 00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:23.319 Thankfully, it is not very often. Yeah, I get a sneeze. 36 00:02:23.639 --> 00:02:25.759 That's okay. Do you want me to throw a little pepper in your Yeah? 37 00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:30.840 I thought no, no, no, okay, next one, Minnesota, 38 00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:32.759 Goodbye, here we go. I'm an English teacher, love reading, 39 00:02:32.800 --> 00:02:37.960 I believe passionately and keeping books on shelves for kids to read. This stems 40 00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:40.680 off of yesterday when we talked about the book that was at a sixth grade 41 00:02:42.159 --> 00:02:46.680 librarior class that had the F word, asshole, dick, dickhead, shit 42 00:02:46.840 --> 00:02:50.360 some other words in there, which, by the way, the original emailer 43 00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:53.280 did email back and she did clarify the two things I asked. It is 44 00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:58.759 not required reading and it is available in like the school's library. Okay, 45 00:02:58.800 --> 00:03:00.319 so that you'll see that email coming up, And that's all she clarified. 46 00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:04.759 Basically, she goes on to say, this teacher goes on to say parents 47 00:03:04.800 --> 00:03:07.120 have every right to have a say and what their children ord. However, 48 00:03:07.520 --> 00:03:12.680 they should not get to determine what every child reads. Also, these same 49 00:03:12.759 --> 00:03:15.719 arguments could be and have been made about a plethora of classic novels. Nearly 50 00:03:15.719 --> 00:03:19.560 everything you read in school or your kids will read the been banned or challenged 51 00:03:19.599 --> 00:03:23.000 at some point in history for language or content, and they're very highly respected 52 00:03:23.039 --> 00:03:27.800 books, Shakespeare to the Great Gadsby. If we took all these away, 53 00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:31.840 kids would miss out on so many excellent and timeless stories. Finally, I 54 00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:36.240 think the school board in the case mentioned is a pretty as pretty astute to 55 00:03:36.280 --> 00:03:39.199 note that kids are hearing this type of language often from their peers. It's 56 00:03:39.240 --> 00:03:43.039 not great to know, but the reality is that your kids are being exposed 57 00:03:43.039 --> 00:03:46.240 to a lot more inappropriate language and mature ideas through their peers, their devices 58 00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:51.879 and social media, and even their parents, much more likely, much more 59 00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:55.840 so than from books. Probably you think about what he'd see their phones. 60 00:03:58.319 --> 00:04:00.680 M Ultimately, I think you need have conversation with your kids about what they're 61 00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:04.280 reading and use your own discretion to make those personal decisions for your family, 62 00:04:04.319 --> 00:04:09.159 but not for others. Sorry for the long email. I get very passionate 63 00:04:09.159 --> 00:04:13.240 about the removal of books from libraries. Thanks for what you guys do every 64 00:04:13.319 --> 00:04:18.240 day. I would only challenge you English teacher to say, is there a 65 00:04:18.279 --> 00:04:24.480 line? I mean, what about pornography? What about Should seventh grade kids 66 00:04:24.519 --> 00:04:31.199 read pornography? Should they write there's like like written erotica? Should they be 67 00:04:31.199 --> 00:04:33.879 able to write that? I mean, they're exploring their bodies and they're learning 68 00:04:33.879 --> 00:04:40.439 about sexuality. Should they be able to read erotica? I guess my point 69 00:04:40.519 --> 00:04:44.360 is I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm saying is there a line? Yeah? 70 00:04:44.439 --> 00:04:47.079 And also, if your kids want to read erotica, they can read 71 00:04:47.079 --> 00:04:49.959 it, but it shouldn't be available to the library. I don't care what 72 00:04:50.040 --> 00:04:55.240 your kids read, but I don't think that that should be available at the 73 00:04:55.279 --> 00:04:59.879 middle school library. So is there a border line? That's my challenge. 74 00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:01.720 You know what's interesting? I thought about this. So we had a book 75 00:05:01.920 --> 00:05:08.079 band we were in the middle of reading it in seventh, sixth or seventh 76 00:05:08.079 --> 00:05:11.759 grade, called The Giver. It's a very popular book, and it was 77 00:05:11.879 --> 00:05:17.519 banned because by one friend's mom. She was she is an avid reader, 78 00:05:17.759 --> 00:05:21.040 so she was the kind of mom that read every book we were going to 79 00:05:21.079 --> 00:05:25.959 read like along with us or whatever, and she hated that book because she 80 00:05:26.040 --> 00:05:28.759 was a stay at home mom. And if you remember the giver, the 81 00:05:28.800 --> 00:05:31.680 person kind of tells you what your profession is going to be, and the 82 00:05:31.759 --> 00:05:36.399 professions are lined up from like, you know, respected to the lowliest. 83 00:05:36.480 --> 00:05:42.639 The lowest level profession was like this day at home mom, caregiver, and 84 00:05:42.680 --> 00:05:47.279 that, for obvious reasons, really upset her and so she fought the school 85 00:05:47.279 --> 00:05:49.399 on it, and we didn't get to finish reading the book. We had 86 00:05:49.439 --> 00:05:55.279 read like half of it. And I remember kind of being annoyed as a 87 00:05:55.360 --> 00:05:59.120 student because I'm like, just let us finish the book. Like, it 88 00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:01.959 doesn't make this book was weird. It doesn't didn't make me think any less 89 00:06:01.959 --> 00:06:04.399 of a stay at home mom. But I understood where she's like, I 90 00:06:04.399 --> 00:06:08.360 don't want my kids reading that. I'm like the lowliest level. So, 91 00:06:08.800 --> 00:06:12.240 um, that's the only time I've had a personal experience with something like that. 92 00:06:12.480 --> 00:06:17.399 Well, it reminds me when Carson was in third grade, they did 93 00:06:17.519 --> 00:06:23.160 a career day and every kid got up and said, you know what their 94 00:06:23.240 --> 00:06:25.839 mom or their dad did. And the kids would stand up and say, 95 00:06:25.879 --> 00:06:29.199 yeah, my mom is a you know a sergeant in the Air Force, 96 00:06:29.399 --> 00:06:31.879 or my dad is an architect, or my mom is, you know, 97 00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:42.839 a dentist or whatever. And I guess Carson was embarrassed for what I did, 98 00:06:42.920 --> 00:06:46.279 and he didn't want to say I was a DJ, so he stood 99 00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:48.720 up and they said, what does your dad do? And and Carson said, 100 00:06:48.759 --> 00:06:53.160 he plays piano in a horhouse. Okay, because he was embarrassed, 101 00:06:53.279 --> 00:06:55.319 yea, that I was a DJ. It was an upgrade. Then you 102 00:06:55.560 --> 00:07:00.079 understand it was better better? Yeah, playing piano in a Horrseuse, I 103 00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:05.040 wish I could play piano. Imagine, Okay, next one, I'm write 104 00:07:05.040 --> 00:07:10.199 in response to yesterday's discussion of the Minnesota Goodbye. I'm not familiar with the 105 00:07:10.240 --> 00:07:14.240 book. However, I would venture a guest that neither is she except for 106 00:07:14.279 --> 00:07:17.040 the handful of selected words she took issue with. Unfortunately, I feel like 107 00:07:17.079 --> 00:07:21.399 it's not a coincidence that this book she's taken issue with is an LGBTQ novel 108 00:07:21.439 --> 00:07:26.240 for teens, as Fallon said when she googled the premise. The focus on 109 00:07:26.560 --> 00:07:31.560 inappropriate language, specifically LGBTQ premise books, is often used for a scapegoat for 110 00:07:31.600 --> 00:07:34.360 parents to disapprove As a parent, I believe the kids need to be exposed 111 00:07:34.360 --> 00:07:38.920 to different kinds of viewpoints, language, imaginative writing. That's the whole point 112 00:07:38.920 --> 00:07:42.680 of books and education. Obviously, there are boundaries for certain ages, which 113 00:07:42.759 --> 00:07:45.879 is more of an issue to debate. If you ask me, I feel 114 00:07:45.920 --> 00:07:48.439 this parent is naive to the exposure their children or teen has the real world. 115 00:07:48.879 --> 00:07:53.360 Come on, you're telling me there's no other books in the library that 116 00:07:53.399 --> 00:07:57.519 you swear words if they chose to. Parents can monitor what books their kids 117 00:07:57.519 --> 00:08:01.319 are reading and use that as an opportunity to us share wisdom, educate, 118 00:08:01.759 --> 00:08:05.639 same with access to television shows, internet, video games, etc. Simply 119 00:08:05.720 --> 00:08:09.000 wanting to remove access to a book from a library and a whole community kids 120 00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:11.680 because a parent doesn't agree seems a bit wrong to me. I'm sure there 121 00:08:11.759 --> 00:08:16.040 is more value to this book than the handful of inappropriate words that she highlighted. 122 00:08:16.079 --> 00:08:20.800 Thanks for giving their listeners an opportunity to participate and interact with each other 123 00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:26.319 like this love listening to you all. Thank you. I will give the 124 00:08:26.480 --> 00:08:30.959 other amen the benefit of the doubt and say that I would hope that it 125 00:08:31.000 --> 00:08:33.000 has nothing to do with it being that kind of book and that hell you 126 00:08:33.039 --> 00:08:37.559 know it does. Oh, I think it does because it's LGBTQ. Oh 127 00:08:37.799 --> 00:08:41.639 well, not with that listener in particular, but I think with some parents, 128 00:08:41.679 --> 00:08:43.440 Oh, with some for sure. The one that wrote us, Do 129 00:08:43.480 --> 00:08:46.480 I think that she's read the book? No, But I mean maybe I'm 130 00:08:46.519 --> 00:08:50.360 wrong what the initial person who wrote, but it was they the number of 131 00:08:50.600 --> 00:08:54.639 honestly, Fox and Dicks, it was a lot. But I also, 132 00:08:54.519 --> 00:08:58.600 I guess I see both sides because I know for a fact, even without 133 00:08:58.679 --> 00:09:03.600 the Internet, I was using the F word in middle school for sure with 134 00:09:03.600 --> 00:09:07.320 my friends, so that wasn't unique to me. And my mom didn't use 135 00:09:07.320 --> 00:09:09.559 the ffford in front of me. I think my dad did, but my 136 00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:15.679 mom never used the F word and she never used GD. But I also 137 00:09:15.759 --> 00:09:18.639 understand that doesn't mean that we need to offer it two kids in libraries. 138 00:09:18.720 --> 00:09:22.879 So I guess I see both sides. But I do think it is naive 139 00:09:22.919 --> 00:09:26.240 to think your kids haven't seen or heard this from their friends or on videos 140 00:09:26.320 --> 00:09:31.879 online. So it's so interesting. Oh, absolutely, next one? Oh 141 00:09:31.919 --> 00:09:33.960 boy, do I have feelings about this book? Fan? Oh, it's 142 00:09:33.000 --> 00:09:35.440 triggered everyone. Well, now, remember we have a rule, it's the 143 00:09:35.480 --> 00:09:37.879 two day rule. Yea, So today and tomorrow, today and tomorrow. 144 00:09:37.879 --> 00:09:41.679 Then we dropped the book thing or any topic that seems to generate more and 145 00:09:41.720 --> 00:09:46.480 more emails. I'm a sixth rate English teacher. Our middle school has six 146 00:09:46.519 --> 00:09:48.960 seventh and eighth graders. Here's the deal, kids, worlds are smaller than 147 00:09:50.039 --> 00:09:52.039 they've ever been. In ninety five of my parents didn't swear, and I 148 00:09:52.080 --> 00:09:56.440 didn't read a book of swear words. I wouldn't hear swear words. These 149 00:09:56.519 --> 00:10:03.480 days, they have absolutely everything at their fingertips from their phone. They don't 150 00:10:03.480 --> 00:10:07.399 even have to search to find new information, and they are curious. I 151 00:10:07.440 --> 00:10:09.679 think that they misspoke. They said kids, worlds are smaller than they've ever 152 00:10:09.720 --> 00:10:15.080 been. I think what they might mean is our worlds were smaller back then. 153 00:10:16.279 --> 00:10:18.879 But maybe you mean something that I don't understand. Heart Stopper is one 154 00:10:18.919 --> 00:10:22.440 of the most popular series in our school. It swears, but it's not 155 00:10:22.519 --> 00:10:26.600 authentic to middle school kids. Even if you think your child would never say 156 00:10:26.759 --> 00:10:33.399 fuck, it's probably their favorite word at school and age appropriately makes kids feel 157 00:10:33.480 --> 00:10:39.080 seen, especially queer kids. At our school, we always tell students this. 158 00:10:39.279 --> 00:10:41.559 Libraries for eleven to fourteen year olds, you pick up a book and 159 00:10:41.559 --> 00:10:45.200 are uncomfortable with what you read, get another book. And if you're wondering 160 00:10:45.240 --> 00:10:48.200 if it's okay tat to your adults at home. Words in subject matter that 161 00:10:48.200 --> 00:10:52.440 a family deems questionable in a book are opportunities for growth and communication, not 162 00:10:52.720 --> 00:10:56.240 outright banning and then getting mad at the school board and to beyond his most 163 00:10:56.240 --> 00:11:00.600 school board members are only in school buildings once in a bloom in anyway. 164 00:11:01.000 --> 00:11:03.759 Sad fact is that I've taught queer kids who feel their lifeline as these books, 165 00:11:03.960 --> 00:11:07.600 and they're scared to take it home and get yelled at. I, 166 00:11:07.799 --> 00:11:11.159 for one, will always be a safe adult who encourages them to feel to 167 00:11:11.279 --> 00:11:15.799 read what feels comfortable for them. And I think it's sad when adults let 168 00:11:15.840 --> 00:11:18.240 their fear of a swear word get in the way of them seeing the value 169 00:11:18.240 --> 00:11:20.679 of a book that kids cherish. I could literally go on forever, but 170 00:11:20.720 --> 00:11:26.840 these are my initial ramblings. Love you guys from K, Thank you K 171 00:11:26.559 --> 00:11:31.639 initial K. By the way, in case you're wondering, Oh David, 172 00:11:31.720 --> 00:11:35.840 your Instagram post had me in tears. The old woman talking about I'll be 173 00:11:35.879 --> 00:11:41.120 glad when this or that don't postpone joy. Find your joy in what's happening 174 00:11:41.120 --> 00:11:45.159 today? Just for fun, I'm going to pull this up and see if 175 00:11:45.200 --> 00:11:48.000 I can play it, because I think I think I can. And I 176 00:11:48.080 --> 00:11:50.720 just found these things on Instagram and I just recently realized that you can post 177 00:11:50.720 --> 00:11:54.440 to your own story. Yeah, so I'm going to see if I can 178 00:11:54.480 --> 00:11:58.200 find it, and hold on. When you turn my volume up, hold 179 00:11:58.240 --> 00:12:05.200 on a minute story you know, you know, and it might have disappeared. 180 00:12:05.600 --> 00:12:07.720 Oh darn, hold on, let me try one more time, because 181 00:12:07.720 --> 00:12:11.159 I think it's worth trying one more time. Yeah, here we go. 182 00:12:11.320 --> 00:12:18.080 As just realized I've reached the last years of my I'll be so glad, 183 00:12:18.200 --> 00:12:22.000 queen, I wasted so much time on that. I'll be so glad when 184 00:12:22.000 --> 00:12:26.039 they're out of DIP or so be so glad when they starts. Okay, 185 00:12:26.080 --> 00:12:28.399 guys, I just well, if you click on the video you shared, 186 00:12:28.440 --> 00:12:30.960 it'll play the full thing. If I put on what if you click on 187 00:12:31.000 --> 00:12:33.000 the video you shared, it'll take you to the full video. Okay, 188 00:12:33.720 --> 00:12:37.519 I get the jets yet. It though, And basically she's probably a seventy 189 00:12:37.519 --> 00:12:39.600 five eighty year old woman and she's going. I missed out on so much 190 00:12:39.600 --> 00:12:43.919 going. I'll be so glad when the kids graduate. I'll so be glad, 191 00:12:43.000 --> 00:12:46.080 so glad when we retire. Basically, her message is what we all 192 00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:52.720 know, you're gonna find your happiness now, because we all say when this 193 00:12:52.840 --> 00:12:56.399 happens, I'll be happy. When this happens, I'll be you know, 194 00:12:56.440 --> 00:12:58.440 whatever you feel like that do you do you have that? I've been guilty 195 00:12:58.440 --> 00:13:01.159 of that. Yeah, I've been guilty of that. Sure, Yeah, 196 00:13:01.159 --> 00:13:03.679 I'll be happy when the weekend rolls around. Ye, I will say that 197 00:13:03.720 --> 00:13:07.440 I've been a whole lot happier during the week once I realized if you're miserable 198 00:13:07.480 --> 00:13:11.360 five days out of the week, that's too much. You can't just spend 199 00:13:11.399 --> 00:13:13.840 two days of your life being happy. You've got to figure out a way 200 00:13:13.879 --> 00:13:16.720 to be happy during the week. And if your job makes you that unhappy, 201 00:13:16.039 --> 00:13:22.039 you're in the wrong job. You know. I'm finding more and more 202 00:13:22.159 --> 00:13:24.759 my stupid phone is getting in the way of my joy, especially with my 203 00:13:24.799 --> 00:13:28.120 two young kids. I'll be on my phone dealing with the work issue or 204 00:13:28.159 --> 00:13:33.080 just scrolling and missing the joy happening right in front of my face. So 205 00:13:33.159 --> 00:13:37.200 tonight I asked chat GPT to write me a voicemail explaining that I will not 206 00:13:37.320 --> 00:13:41.399 be answering my phone between the hours of four thirty and seven thirty so I 207 00:13:41.399 --> 00:13:45.000 can focus on my family. I love that, I love what it came 208 00:13:45.080 --> 00:13:46.960 up with, and I really hope I can stick to this plan. Switching 209 00:13:48.039 --> 00:13:52.440 gears. I love no phone screen or Friday. It's funny, cringe, 210 00:13:52.559 --> 00:13:58.799 informative, and I love it. Please keep doing it. When Jenny and 211 00:14:00.000 --> 00:14:01.879 are actually screening the calls rest week, what percentage of the time do they 212 00:14:01.960 --> 00:14:07.919 not let a call through have a good one? I would say it's hard 213 00:14:07.960 --> 00:14:13.279 to say, but it depends. I mean, there are some people who 214 00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:16.559 are not good at storytelling, and we ask for their story and if they 215 00:14:16.559 --> 00:14:20.159 really can't get it out within a brief amount of time, and sometimes they're 216 00:14:20.200 --> 00:14:24.000 nervous and we try to be patient. But the number one consideration we have 217 00:14:24.200 --> 00:14:28.480 is for listeners who are listening to the show, so we have to keep 218 00:14:28.519 --> 00:14:33.519 them in mind, not the one person on the phone who's excited to call 219 00:14:33.559 --> 00:14:37.399 and tell us about their new puppy. While that story is very important to 220 00:14:37.440 --> 00:14:41.559 them, we sometimes have to say I'm sorry, can you try another time, 221 00:14:43.000 --> 00:14:46.879 Or we don't have time for your call right now, or a good 222 00:14:46.960 --> 00:14:48.519 lie is Okay, great, I'll tell the guys about that. Thanks for 223 00:14:48.559 --> 00:14:52.840 calling. But we try because it's important and I always I am a big 224 00:14:52.840 --> 00:14:54.960 believer. And if you're a big enough fan of the show that you know 225 00:14:56.039 --> 00:15:01.039 our phone number and you're caring enough to call in, then you deserve to 226 00:15:01.159 --> 00:15:05.840 be treated with courtesy and respect. Yes, And I have to balance that 227 00:15:07.080 --> 00:15:09.200 with the entertainment aspect of the radio station. Yeah, And I would say 228 00:15:09.240 --> 00:15:11.519 Jenny and Drake do such a good job with doing that because there are all 229 00:15:11.559 --> 00:15:16.320 the people that are going off on them and yelling at them and disagreeing with 230 00:15:16.360 --> 00:15:18.200 something we do, and they both have like are the kind of people that 231 00:15:18.240 --> 00:15:22.320 remain calm and like just listen to their complaint or whatever it is, and 232 00:15:22.399 --> 00:15:24.840 don't like just hang up on them or something. So yeah, we try 233 00:15:24.840 --> 00:15:30.200 to be really courteous to everyone that messages are called the show. Kane. 234 00:15:30.320 --> 00:15:33.279 Next one, I have a two comments regarding the Monday episode to the woman 235 00:15:33.320 --> 00:15:37.240 who doesn't feel at home yet in her new house. I get it. 236 00:15:37.440 --> 00:15:41.559 I just moved into my dream home and I was so annoyed and frustrated the 237 00:15:41.600 --> 00:15:43.639 first week I moved in because nothing was where it was supposed to be, 238 00:15:45.159 --> 00:15:48.080 and I felt annoyed the kitchen wasn't the same as my old kitchen, even 239 00:15:48.080 --> 00:15:52.320 though it was a million times better. Get some three hangers and put art 240 00:15:52.320 --> 00:15:54.960 on the wall, and try to really live in the place instead of trying 241 00:15:54.960 --> 00:15:58.320 to treat it like a museum. Go to home depot, pick out some 242 00:15:58.360 --> 00:16:02.360 plants for the yard, get some newer use pieces of furniture. Don't overanalyze 243 00:16:02.399 --> 00:16:04.320 the design. You can change it down the road. Start to feel more 244 00:16:04.360 --> 00:16:08.159 at home, and make the place yours. My second thought is about the 245 00:16:08.200 --> 00:16:12.360 selection of books at schools. I'm going to skip through this a little bit 246 00:16:12.639 --> 00:16:18.799 because again it's getting a little bit redundant, and I think that they basically 247 00:16:18.840 --> 00:16:23.159 agree with you know, whatever it is. The last few people were saying, 248 00:16:23.879 --> 00:16:29.600 all right, last one subject line weather. Okay, first, thank 249 00:16:29.639 --> 00:16:30.559 you for always being a bright spot on my day. I'd love to say 250 00:16:30.600 --> 00:16:33.320 something more creative than that, but it's midnight and I'm only up to nurse 251 00:16:33.399 --> 00:16:36.840 my baby, and well, my brain is tired. Yes it is. 252 00:16:37.200 --> 00:16:40.399 So. It's no secret that this spring has brought less than awesome weather, 253 00:16:40.679 --> 00:16:44.159 no doubt, But I try to remember that in January I would have given 254 00:16:44.200 --> 00:16:48.240 my right foot for this weather. It is true also, if we're waiting 255 00:16:48.240 --> 00:16:52.080 for perfect weather to go outside, we won't ever get outside. There's a 256 00:16:52.080 --> 00:16:56.159 phrase that goes something like, if you can't find joy in the snow, 257 00:16:57.120 --> 00:17:02.080 all you'll have is a lot less joy and the same amount of snow. 258 00:17:02.840 --> 00:17:06.000 That's a good one. Yeah. I try to remember that you can substitute 259 00:17:06.039 --> 00:17:08.319 snow for wind, rain, or whatever scone else is going on. But 260 00:17:08.400 --> 00:17:11.519 remember to try to find joy in whatever mother nature gives us, even if 261 00:17:11.519 --> 00:17:17.400 she's been a real bitch. I hope you can find some more joy and 262 00:17:17.480 --> 00:17:21.799 whatever weather we are given, because even on the so called shitty weather days, 263 00:17:21.839 --> 00:17:26.880 it's still good to get outside. Life isn't lived indoors. Nobody remembers 264 00:17:26.920 --> 00:17:30.559 their best day of watching their screen. Your bestie Anna ps dart lick dart 265 00:17:30.599 --> 00:17:36.039 lick, someone like you, you won't remember your best days watching her screen. 266 00:17:36.079 --> 00:17:37.880 It's so true. I the other day I thought about because I love 267 00:17:37.960 --> 00:17:42.880 watching TV, I've I've always loved TV, and I had a friend asked 268 00:17:42.960 --> 00:17:48.440 me to recommend a couple of shows. I couldn't think of one show to 269 00:17:48.440 --> 00:17:51.359 recommend because the one she said she just finished is the one that was top 270 00:17:51.400 --> 00:17:56.559 of my mind. We go through so many good quality shows now because of 271 00:17:56.680 --> 00:18:00.839 streaming, none of it's memorable to me. I'm sure like in a month, 272 00:18:00.839 --> 00:18:03.880 I won't even remember Jerry Duty, because that's top of mind right now. 273 00:18:03.279 --> 00:18:07.480 I won't even remember it. And it's just so interesting how I give 274 00:18:07.519 --> 00:18:12.680 a lot of time to things like that that really have no impact or relevance 275 00:18:14.000 --> 00:18:17.279 in my life. It's just interesting. The same one go with phone and 276 00:18:17.279 --> 00:18:19.359 scrolling and screen. I think that's true. I think I said years ago, 277 00:18:19.400 --> 00:18:25.960 I realized that when you're sitting there watching a show or watching I think 278 00:18:25.960 --> 00:18:29.880 I picked on reality shows. I said, you're really watching other people live 279 00:18:30.279 --> 00:18:37.599 their interesting lives or their fictional lives while you are literally sitting motionless on the 280 00:18:37.680 --> 00:18:42.960 couch. So at least I try to when I watch TV almost every night, 281 00:18:42.960 --> 00:18:47.160 I do thirty second thirty seconds, yeah, thirty minutes. I'm my 282 00:18:47.279 --> 00:18:51.960 stair stepper, so I can at least like be entertained and feel like I'm 283 00:18:52.039 --> 00:18:55.400 getting exercise, which I need anyway. But yeah, your life. You 284 00:18:55.440 --> 00:19:00.960 can't live your life watching other people act out fictional zed comedy or drama. 285 00:19:02.240 --> 00:19:04.480 You really got to go out and do something. And if it's too cold 286 00:19:04.519 --> 00:19:07.720 to go outside. Then get on the floor and make a puzzle with your 287 00:19:07.799 --> 00:19:12.160 kids, or color with your kids, or buy some sort of like I 288 00:19:12.200 --> 00:19:15.720 don't know, some art set and do art. I read this, I'm 289 00:19:15.720 --> 00:19:18.480 never not going to get it right. But an artist an author talking about 290 00:19:18.480 --> 00:19:22.000 how it's so important to do creative things, even if you suck at art, 291 00:19:22.039 --> 00:19:25.599 to still do a little bit of art or drawing or sketching or singing 292 00:19:25.680 --> 00:19:27.240 or whatever it is. Because it write a poem that sucks, and don't 293 00:19:27.240 --> 00:19:30.799 read it to anyone, because it's so important for you to do things like 294 00:19:30.839 --> 00:19:33.440 that. No, absolutely, Okay, that's gonna wrap it up for the 295 00:19:33.440 --> 00:19:37.200 Minnesota good Bye, thank you, and emails to Ryan Show at KDWB dot com.
