00:00:00.400 --> 00:00:03.879
Now Here's why we don't get to
pre read anything on the Minnesota Goodbye today

2
00:00:03.879 --> 00:00:11.160
because I have a dermatology appointment and
I got into doctor Terene for two things.

3
00:00:11.240 --> 00:00:14.000
Nice. Number one, I need
to do a body scan for you

4
00:00:14.039 --> 00:00:17.719
know, moles and things like that. And I've got two spots on my

5
00:00:17.839 --> 00:00:20.480
leg that are a little bit darker, a little bit on, more unusual

6
00:00:20.480 --> 00:00:23.839
than I would expect, and I
don't remember them being there last week.

7
00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:27.559
So I'm like, okay, maybe
I should ever checked out. You ever

8
00:00:27.600 --> 00:00:31.320
had like a suspicious anything like a
skin thing looked at or taken off,

9
00:00:31.399 --> 00:00:33.359
Well, I told you about it. In the last year. I had

10
00:00:33.399 --> 00:00:37.000
gotten the spot on my face and
we had had your friend Wendy, Nurse

11
00:00:37.039 --> 00:00:40.320
Wendy on to talk about it,
and I mean it turned out to just

12
00:00:40.399 --> 00:00:45.000
be some sun damage that was starting
to come in already from like my years

13
00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:50.600
of tanning beds and sitting out and
not using sunscreen. So that's the only

14
00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:53.759
thing I've ever had problems with.
But I do have to be careful because

15
00:00:53.759 --> 00:00:58.159
my dad has like bouts of skin
cancer quite often, and my younger sisters

16
00:00:58.200 --> 00:01:02.960
had to have moles removed and things
removed, so my family is like pretty

17
00:01:02.960 --> 00:01:07.079
aware of stuff like that. Yeah, we you know, we're very fair

18
00:01:07.120 --> 00:01:11.680
skinned like you guys are. So
my family has had that too. Susan

19
00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:14.719
Tan's Alison Carson do not tan,
Chase, I don't think so. In

20
00:01:14.760 --> 00:01:18.439
Beth definitely doesn't tan. When Beth
was a little girl, she used to

21
00:01:18.439 --> 00:01:22.719
come visit me in the summer and
whenever she'd come, her nose would be

22
00:01:22.840 --> 00:01:26.239
bright red and peeling from being out
in the sun. She grew up in

23
00:01:26.280 --> 00:01:30.319
Florida and she would not wear sunscreen
and it was always bright red and peeling.

24
00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:33.599
And I'm like, Beth, you've
got to wear sunscreen. Well,

25
00:01:33.959 --> 00:01:38.120
try to talk you know, her
mom was irresponsible and to try to talk

26
00:01:38.239 --> 00:01:41.519
Beth in, you know, a
nine year old, ten year old and

27
00:01:41.640 --> 00:01:49.480
wearing sunscreen just never gonna happen.
So checking emails, it is Naughty Tuesday,

28
00:01:49.400 --> 00:01:53.040
but I'm not sure if we have
any Naughty Tuesday emails. Let's see

29
00:01:53.079 --> 00:01:57.920
what we have, Okay. I
like this one a lot. This one

30
00:01:57.959 --> 00:02:02.000
is really interesting. I work for
a national tech company and most employees work

31
00:02:02.120 --> 00:02:07.560
from home. The culture is very
much about being employee focused. Benefits are

32
00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:12.479
awesome, and work life balance is
good. They send out frequent anonymous surveys

33
00:02:12.599 --> 00:02:15.080
to gauge how employees feel about the
company, bosses, corporate et cetera.

34
00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:22.719
Are these actually anonymous? I love
my job, but there are issues that

35
00:02:22.759 --> 00:02:25.400
I have with my smaller division that
have been ignored in the past that I

36
00:02:25.400 --> 00:02:28.639
would like to bring up in these
surveys, but I don't want them trace

37
00:02:28.719 --> 00:02:30.280
back to me, since I like
to keep my head down at work and

38
00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:32.919
fly under the radar. Is it
better to just suck it up and ignore

39
00:02:32.960 --> 00:02:38.439
the bs or should I bring these
issues and risk not being anonymous. I'm

40
00:02:38.479 --> 00:02:44.159
not going to say their name because
they requested that. I don't I one

41
00:02:44.280 --> 00:02:47.199
hundred percent understand what you're saying,
because I think the same thing. We

42
00:02:47.240 --> 00:02:52.680
get these once in a while,
and it's like a satisfaction survey. Do

43
00:02:52.719 --> 00:02:55.280
you think that your boss does a
good job doing this? Or do this

44
00:02:55.439 --> 00:03:00.479
or this? Do you think that
management is good? Blah blah blah and

45
00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:02.599
and sometimes and I can't think of
anything that I would have answered a different

46
00:03:02.599 --> 00:03:05.919
way. But there are times when
I'm like, no, I'm not going

47
00:03:05.960 --> 00:03:09.520
to be honest because I don't want
them to be like oh, so,

48
00:03:09.759 --> 00:03:15.080
Dave Ryan says that they don't get
paid enough, or Dave Ryan says the

49
00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:20.400
benefits here suck, or Dave Ryan
says that there's you know, the culture

50
00:03:20.439 --> 00:03:23.879
is poisoned or whatever. So I, like you, like to fly under

51
00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:28.560
the radar. It's not going to
change if I said something like, yeah,

52
00:03:28.719 --> 00:03:31.840
the benefits here at iHeart are terrible, it's not going to change,

53
00:03:32.159 --> 00:03:37.319
yea, even if I said they're
terrible. So I'm going to fly under

54
00:03:37.360 --> 00:03:40.120
the radar just like you. Yeah, I mean, I think we've openly

55
00:03:40.120 --> 00:03:44.919
talked about on the radio. We
honestly we make fun of the company for

56
00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:46.599
a lot of things, just openly
on the radio, And like, I'm

57
00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:51.639
surprised we don't get in trouble more
for stuff like that, because I will.

58
00:03:52.039 --> 00:03:54.599
I will admit that the benefits here
do actually suck at iHeart. They

59
00:03:54.599 --> 00:03:58.199
aren't great, and I'm not afraid
to admit that. And I'm sure that

60
00:03:58.240 --> 00:04:00.599
they're very well aware of that.
So I don't think that this is news

61
00:04:00.599 --> 00:04:03.759
to anyone if they do hear this. But I am like nervous to take

62
00:04:03.800 --> 00:04:08.560
those surveys too. I think I
took one recently, ranking the company on

63
00:04:08.599 --> 00:04:12.479
all kinds of different things, and
I was pretty honest on it. But

64
00:04:12.560 --> 00:04:15.919
I think there was a point where
you're supposed to put like if you were

65
00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:17.959
male or female or what age you
were? Right, right, And I

66
00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:21.839
think I lied about that information so
that they couldn't track it back exactly to

67
00:04:21.959 --> 00:04:26.240
who I was, Like I put
a different category of like what age I

68
00:04:26.360 --> 00:04:28.519
was in or something. Oh really
did you something be like, well,

69
00:04:28.519 --> 00:04:30.639
it can't be Jenny because she says
she's like forty four to fifty five.

70
00:04:30.759 --> 00:04:33.560
Okay, you know, we do
make fun of iHeart here sometimes, but

71
00:04:33.600 --> 00:04:39.360
I will tell you iHeart is not
perfect. But there are a lot of

72
00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:43.399
other radio companies that are a lot
worse than iHeart. And I'm not going

73
00:04:43.480 --> 00:04:46.600
to name any because you know,
I might end up applying for a job

74
00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:48.639
at one of them someday. But
you know, we make fun of iHeart

75
00:04:48.680 --> 00:04:51.759
and now like they you know,
like there's a Dave's Dirt intro that says

76
00:04:51.759 --> 00:04:58.319
something like, let's do Dave's Dirt
before they before iHeart cuts it out of

77
00:04:58.319 --> 00:05:00.879
the budget, and we joke about
it that because we're like a lot of

78
00:05:01.160 --> 00:05:06.360
corporations, there are budgets that are
more and more and more restrictive. I

79
00:05:06.399 --> 00:05:12.959
don't know of a lot of companies
that don't have more and more restrictive budgets.

80
00:05:12.959 --> 00:05:16.399
I'm going to go ahead and throw
out Medtronic. Medtronic a billion dollar,

81
00:05:16.959 --> 00:05:23.639
multi multi multi billion dollar worldwide company, but they have had again,

82
00:05:23.720 --> 00:05:26.920
I don't want to get it wrong, but I think they've had some struggles

83
00:05:27.399 --> 00:05:30.399
and not making as much as they
had so they had to lay some people

84
00:05:30.439 --> 00:05:32.160
off. So a lot of people
got let go of Medtronic in the last

85
00:05:32.240 --> 00:05:35.720
year or so. But you know, you think about a company. I

86
00:05:35.720 --> 00:05:39.959
look out the window and there's a
Kemps building right across the street. I

87
00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:45.360
know nothing about Kemps, but I'm
gonna guess that Kemps faces the same struggles

88
00:05:45.920 --> 00:05:48.399
that a lot of companies do.
They want to drive the shareholder price up.

89
00:05:48.399 --> 00:05:53.000
They want to impress the shareholders,
so they figure out how to make

90
00:05:54.000 --> 00:05:59.040
ice cream a little more efficiently,
or how to make the carton, you

91
00:05:59.079 --> 00:06:04.160
know, two cents to make rather
than five cents to make. I read

92
00:06:04.240 --> 00:06:10.120
somewhere like a Dorito's bag, those
little foilly kind of Dorito's bags. They

93
00:06:10.199 --> 00:06:13.600
figure out they have like a whole
team of people that figures out how to

94
00:06:13.680 --> 00:06:18.639
save one one hundredth of a penny
in making a Dorito's bag, because that

95
00:06:18.759 --> 00:06:24.000
all adds up to millions of dollars
over the course of a year or whatever.

96
00:06:24.199 --> 00:06:26.959
Right, because everybody's trying to cut
budgets and try to figure out how

97
00:06:27.000 --> 00:06:30.680
to matt That's why bars of soap
are now shaped like an hourglass or concave,

98
00:06:31.279 --> 00:06:34.720
because they don't make big fat bars
of soap. Have you noticed that,

99
00:06:34.959 --> 00:06:40.519
I've never considered that I was good
the Dove soap so that's never had

100
00:06:40.600 --> 00:06:43.079
that shaped. It's more of the
oval shape. Oh, but are you

101
00:06:43.160 --> 00:06:46.519
talking about how it kind of like
like goes up with the oval. You're

102
00:06:46.959 --> 00:06:49.000
the ones that just the hour glass. I don't If I looked at a

103
00:06:49.040 --> 00:06:54.560
bar of Doves soap from today and
versus one from twenty years ago, I

104
00:06:54.639 --> 00:06:58.360
guarantee it smaller. Yeah, And
there's a name for it, and it's

105
00:06:58.519 --> 00:07:00.560
I can't remember what it is.
I can look at up really quick.

106
00:07:00.560 --> 00:07:02.120
Here' stall for me for you know, what's the biggest ripoff is a bag

107
00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:06.000
of sun chips. That's the biggest
ripoff. Not only are there bags smaller

108
00:07:06.040 --> 00:07:11.480
than most potato chip bags, but
there's so much damn air in them that

109
00:07:11.560 --> 00:07:15.560
it's like you need like three bags
to get what should be in one bag.

110
00:07:15.600 --> 00:07:17.560
I feel like for sonships. So
true, shrink flation is what they

111
00:07:17.600 --> 00:07:21.199
call it. Yeah, shrink flation
is the term, and that is where

112
00:07:21.279 --> 00:07:25.079
if you buy sun chips, and
there used to be it was like full

113
00:07:25.279 --> 00:07:29.319
to the brim packed with sun chips, and now there's a lot less.

114
00:07:29.959 --> 00:07:32.199
We noticed it a few years ago
when Lena was here, So now we're

115
00:07:32.240 --> 00:07:36.720
talking ten, twelve, fifteen years
ago. We were talking about tuna because

116
00:07:36.959 --> 00:07:41.480
you know, I remember a long
time ago, you open a can of

117
00:07:41.560 --> 00:07:45.839
tuna, there was a little bit
of water and a lot of tuna.

118
00:07:46.160 --> 00:07:49.720
Now you open a can of tuna
and you squeeze out the water because you're

119
00:07:49.759 --> 00:07:53.639
not going to put that in your
sandwich, and you squeeze it out and

120
00:07:53.680 --> 00:07:57.720
it's literally one third of a can. So Lena and I, who used

121
00:07:57.720 --> 00:08:00.720
to work on the show, we
filled out a form for a class action

122
00:08:00.879 --> 00:08:03.480
lawsuit and Starkist or Chicken of the
Sea or somebody had to send me like

123
00:08:03.600 --> 00:08:09.639
five dollars worth of free tuna coupons
because of shrink flation. And that's what

124
00:08:09.680 --> 00:08:15.480
they do with soap. They do
that with bags of chips, and you

125
00:08:15.560 --> 00:08:20.879
are paying the same amount, but
you're not getting as much. Yeah,

126
00:08:20.920 --> 00:08:24.279
there's one other thing that I wanted
to bring up, and this came to

127
00:08:24.319 --> 00:08:31.279
me last night because I was watching
a show called The Signal, and The

128
00:08:31.319 --> 00:08:35.840
Signal is about a couple and the
woman is an astronaut and she goes to

129
00:08:35.879 --> 00:08:41.919
space. Something happens in space,
and on the flight home from her landing,

130
00:08:43.519 --> 00:08:46.759
she disappears, and it's like,
what did she see in space that

131
00:08:46.799 --> 00:08:52.000
the government wanted her to disappear?
And it's really good. It's called The

132
00:08:52.120 --> 00:08:58.519
Signal, But they made some political
jokes in there, and I hate when

133
00:08:58.559 --> 00:09:03.519
I watch whether you're or liberal or
whether you're conservative, we respect you no

134
00:09:03.600 --> 00:09:09.720
matter what. We might not agree
with you, but we respect you because

135
00:09:09.759 --> 00:09:13.039
we're not gonna like say, wow, I'm gonna make everything about what you

136
00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:18.120
are politically. But I was watching
this show and they made a couple of

137
00:09:18.200 --> 00:09:22.159
political digs, and I was like, can't they just do a fucking show

138
00:09:22.679 --> 00:09:26.279
without making a political dig. We
never make political digs on this show.

139
00:09:26.799 --> 00:09:31.559
We might say something sarcastic, you
know, like about how I don't know,

140
00:09:31.759 --> 00:09:35.600
like Biden forgot whatever, or we
try to be pretty equal though,

141
00:09:35.639 --> 00:09:37.879
like when we make fun of one
side. We try to make fun of

142
00:09:37.919 --> 00:09:41.159
the other two, you know what
I mean. Yeah, but you'll never

143
00:09:41.200 --> 00:09:43.799
really notice. We don't call Trump
the Orange Man, and we don't say

144
00:09:43.879 --> 00:09:48.080
that, you know, Biden ignores
the crisis at the border. We don't

145
00:09:48.320 --> 00:09:50.879
do that. If you want to
hear that, trust me. There are

146
00:09:50.960 --> 00:09:52.960
plenty of other platforms, and you
don't come here for that. Yeah.

147
00:09:54.039 --> 00:09:56.399
But I did think of something last
night and I think I wrote it down.

148
00:09:56.480 --> 00:09:58.720
Let me see if I can and
see if you agree with this one.

149
00:09:58.200 --> 00:10:01.120
Okay, hold on, Yeah,
I'm gonna need a second to digest

150
00:10:01.159 --> 00:10:03.960
one Upkase. So I'm looking,
I'm looking, I'm looking, looking,

151
00:10:05.039 --> 00:10:11.360
looking. Okay, here we go. I would ask, either liberals or

152
00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:18.440
conservatives, do you want everyone in
the country to be happy and live a

153
00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:22.879
good life or just people who think
like you. Now, this is a

154
00:10:24.120 --> 00:10:28.600
philosophy that it occurs to me.
If you are a good person, no

155
00:10:28.639 --> 00:10:33.840
matter what somebody thinks, you want
them to have a good life and be

156
00:10:33.960 --> 00:10:39.080
happy. So you and I might
disagree on something politically, but I still

157
00:10:39.120 --> 00:10:43.720
want you to live a good life
and be happy. But I do think

158
00:10:43.960 --> 00:10:48.759
that there are people who if you
don't think like them. They want you

159
00:10:48.919 --> 00:10:52.679
canceled, they want you to be
fired, they want you to be shamed,

160
00:10:52.879 --> 00:10:56.039
they want to put you on Instagram
and talk about what an asshole you

161
00:10:56.120 --> 00:11:03.519
are. So tell me whether I'm
onto anything. If you are a good

162
00:11:03.559 --> 00:11:07.039
person, no matter what somebody's political
affiliation is, you want them to be

163
00:11:07.279 --> 00:11:11.600
happy and have a good life.
And I'm not here to pat myself on

164
00:11:11.600 --> 00:11:16.159
the back, but I look at
anybody and I want them to be happy

165
00:11:16.679 --> 00:11:20.440
and have a good life, unless
they're just a terrible person or a murderer

166
00:11:20.639 --> 00:11:24.240
or a sexual predator or whatever.
What do you think? I mean,

167
00:11:24.279 --> 00:11:28.480
I agree with that completely. I
mean this isn't political, but when I've

168
00:11:28.519 --> 00:11:33.960
had like friendship breakups because they were
just not great people, I've never wished

169
00:11:35.039 --> 00:11:37.840
anything ill upon them, like I
always still want it. I always hope

170
00:11:37.840 --> 00:11:41.639
that they're very happy in their life. I thought that friendship just wasn't for

171
00:11:41.679 --> 00:11:43.879
me anymore. So, like,
I definitely feel that way. Politically,

172
00:11:43.919 --> 00:11:48.080
I don't. I highly doubt that. Even Andrew and I like won't agree

173
00:11:48.559 --> 00:11:52.200
on everything all the time, But
we don't like get upset with each other

174
00:11:52.279 --> 00:11:56.480
because we don't always agree on everything. You know, No, I think

175
00:11:56.480 --> 00:11:58.039
it's totally true. But I think
that, you know, I think that

176
00:11:58.039 --> 00:12:03.360
that's a good mesa of why do
we bicker and bitch and finger point and

177
00:12:03.519 --> 00:12:09.519
accuse and slander and cancel anybody who? Okay, I'll give you an example.

178
00:12:09.519 --> 00:12:13.000
And I'm not we don't want to
get political. But during the speech

179
00:12:15.240 --> 00:12:20.360
the woman who got killed by somebody
who was in the country illegally, somebody

180
00:12:20.399 --> 00:12:24.879
brought it up during the State of
the Union speech the other night and they

181
00:12:24.960 --> 00:12:28.080
said, say her name, and
so he had a button. President Biden

182
00:12:28.120 --> 00:12:33.159
had a button and he said her
name wrong. Her name is Lake and

183
00:12:33.200 --> 00:12:39.600
I believe, and he called her
Lincoln and then he called the murderer an

184
00:12:39.679 --> 00:12:45.440
illegal. Yeah, she was killed
by any illegal? Holy ballsack? Did

185
00:12:45.639 --> 00:12:50.080
both sides just use that as the
worst ammunition ever? And it was like

186
00:12:50.919 --> 00:12:56.919
fock And it really made me think, do you really want the other side

187
00:12:56.919 --> 00:13:01.440
to ever be happy? Or do
you only want people like yourself to be

188
00:13:01.519 --> 00:13:03.600
happy? So is that I don't
I'm not going to answer the question for

189
00:13:03.639 --> 00:13:07.360
you, but I'm going to guess
that you probably want everybody to be happy,

190
00:13:07.440 --> 00:13:11.960
but we never act like that.
So we're a little short on emails.
