WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:03.960 I guess we can start the Minnesota Goodbye this way that we have something coming 2 00:00:04.040 --> 00:00:06.799 up Monday morning at seven twenty that you're gonna want to be here for. 3 00:00:07.200 --> 00:00:11.759 Yeah, and if you listen live, then be here at seven twenty. 4 00:00:12.240 --> 00:00:14.919 And if you don't listen live, you listen to the podcast later, then 5 00:00:15.160 --> 00:00:17.760 listen for the seven twenty segment, because you're gonna want to hear this. 6 00:00:17.760 --> 00:00:25.239 This is a big deal, and it involves Katie WB as a radio station 7 00:00:26.039 --> 00:00:29.800 and some people that are on Katie w B. So I'm not supposed to 8 00:00:29.800 --> 00:00:35.079 say anything more than that, but Jenny knows what I'm talking about. I 9 00:00:35.119 --> 00:00:37.039 know. I was going to pretend like I don't know, and I'd be 10 00:00:37.039 --> 00:00:39.759 like, oh, tell me, but no, I do know. Yeah, 11 00:00:39.799 --> 00:00:42.600 So, but I can only tell you that it is coming up Monday 12 00:00:42.600 --> 00:00:45.079 morning at seven twenty. You know, radio stations love seven twenty. I 13 00:00:45.119 --> 00:00:46.960 don't know what it is about seven twenties, like, Hey, we're gonna 14 00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:49.079 do a big thing, let's do it at seven twenty. But I guess 15 00:00:49.079 --> 00:00:52.240 that's when a lot of people are listening. I think there's such a there's 16 00:00:52.280 --> 00:00:55.039 a theory that a lot of people get out at least by seven, you 17 00:00:55.079 --> 00:00:57.920 know, so they're awake, they turn their radio on by that point, 18 00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:00.560 gave them some time to brush their teeth, get their cars for going and 19 00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:03.599 stuff. So maybe seven twenties that magic number for people. Maybe, But 20 00:01:03.719 --> 00:01:07.799 be here at seven twenty Monday morning. And you know if you miss it 21 00:01:07.799 --> 00:01:10.200 by any chance, and I hope you don't, but if you do, 22 00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:15.359 don't worry. You will hear about it. I promise. Here's our first 23 00:01:15.400 --> 00:01:19.560 email. Don't say my name. Thanks for putting that up front. Good 24 00:01:19.560 --> 00:01:23.000 morning. I was wondering if the furry craze and rumors going around Minnesota high 25 00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:26.599 schools actually exist. I have a family member in high school, and their 26 00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:32.760 parents seem to wholly believe that kids are dressing in full furrey costumes, demanding 27 00:01:32.760 --> 00:01:37.000 that litter boxes be placed in schools. From what I've heard at furry conventions, 28 00:01:37.040 --> 00:01:40.599 there are no litter boxes. The real furies no, and understand the 29 00:01:40.640 --> 00:01:45.120 costume. It's just for fun and it's a health violation. My opinion is 30 00:01:45.159 --> 00:01:48.560 litterbox comment was set as a joke and taken literally to the point of spiraling 31 00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:51.959 out of control. I'm wondering if you've heard anything or have any listeners with 32 00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:55.879 experience. Thanks, you all are the best. It's a rumor I haven't 33 00:01:55.920 --> 00:01:59.439 heard. I've heard the same thing from people who are like, oh my 34 00:01:59.519 --> 00:02:01.840 god. You know, it's like they want to identify as a cat, 35 00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:05.519 so they put they had to put a litter box in the classroom or in 36 00:02:05.519 --> 00:02:09.479 the bathroom for them to pee. Can you imagine if you're a whatever gender 37 00:02:09.560 --> 00:02:12.280 you are, to be like, you know, it sounds good, I 38 00:02:12.319 --> 00:02:14.639 want to pee in a litter box. I think maybe you'd do it one 39 00:02:14.719 --> 00:02:17.080 time and then go no, no thanks, don't really enjoy that. I 40 00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:21.240 think I'd rather use the potty. Yeah. We've definitely talked about this on 41 00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:24.680 the radio show even before, and there's been multiple teachers who have emailed in 42 00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:29.120 after that and been like, no, this is a rumor, this isn't 43 00:02:29.159 --> 00:02:32.039 true. I feel like I always heard it address as like people dress up 44 00:02:32.039 --> 00:02:36.120 as cats, not furries. Oh right, yea yea yeah, can't dress 45 00:02:36.199 --> 00:02:38.360 up as cats? Yeah right. But either way, a lot of people 46 00:02:38.599 --> 00:02:43.479 have debunked it. But maybe it is a thing in a couple high schools 47 00:02:43.560 --> 00:02:46.719 classrooms somewhere. I don't know. I don't think that's I think it's one 48 00:02:46.719 --> 00:02:50.680 of those things that it becomes like, oh god, next thing, you 49 00:02:50.719 --> 00:02:53.280 know, they're going to want to put a litter box in the classroom or 50 00:02:53.319 --> 00:02:55.199 in the bathroom. And then somebody will say, did you hear that at 51 00:02:55.240 --> 00:03:00.080 Blank High School or Blank Middle School? That people are identifying cats or whatever? 52 00:03:00.520 --> 00:03:05.960 It's from everything I've heard. It is a rumor that people love to 53 00:03:05.960 --> 00:03:08.719 spread because it's really compelling. It's like a lot of those different like urban 54 00:03:08.840 --> 00:03:12.639 legend kind of things. Yeah, it's just crazy. It's like, well, 55 00:03:12.840 --> 00:03:15.599 not at my school, but I've heard another school. And then you 56 00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:17.280 asked the other school and they go, no, not at my school, 57 00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:22.360 but I've heard about it too, So thank you for that one. And 58 00:03:23.039 --> 00:03:24.159 next one, I put little word flags on him here, Jenny, so 59 00:03:24.159 --> 00:03:30.960 I can know which ones to go to. This one says, hold on 60 00:03:30.960 --> 00:03:36.000 one second, Dave, I heard you mentioned the creepy places that you went 61 00:03:36.199 --> 00:03:39.879 in Dallas. If you didn't hear it. When I was in Texas last 62 00:03:39.879 --> 00:03:45.439 week, we went to the clock tower where in nineteen sixty six, some 63 00:03:45.719 --> 00:03:50.400 guy who was meant obviously mentally ill, he was a former marine sniper, 64 00:03:50.520 --> 00:03:54.759 climbed to the top of a like a thirty story clock tower and randomly killed 65 00:03:55.360 --> 00:04:00.199 anybody that he could randomly like. He was obviously a marine sniper, so 66 00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:04.240 he was a great shot. And he killed people from like up to five 67 00:04:04.319 --> 00:04:08.319 hundred yards away. That's five football fields way, if you can imagine, 68 00:04:09.240 --> 00:04:14.319 killed fifteen people injured, like you know, thirty more. And then some 69 00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:17.480 cops finally climbed up the top clock tower and they crept around the four corners 70 00:04:17.519 --> 00:04:23.040 and they killed him. But the clock tower is still there. It looks 71 00:04:23.240 --> 00:04:27.839 exactly like it did in nineteen sixty six, and so I wanted to see 72 00:04:27.839 --> 00:04:31.720 it. So we drove there and it was you know, I was asking 73 00:04:31.759 --> 00:04:34.800 Ginny. I said, am I creepy for going there? And then I 74 00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:39.240 said, I also went to a day plaza where JFK was shot and killed 75 00:04:39.240 --> 00:04:43.439 in nineteen sixty three, And I said, is it creepy that I go 76 00:04:43.519 --> 00:04:46.199 to these places? And then people called in and said no, for the 77 00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:54.879 most part, it's kind of like going to the Twin Towers site. Or 78 00:04:55.720 --> 00:04:59.000 there was somebody who said I went on a Jack the Ripper tour in England. 79 00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:01.800 So she says, I heard you mentioned the creepy places. I unintentionally 80 00:05:01.879 --> 00:05:06.319 went to see Columbine. My friend's brother had a Cairo office nearby. We 81 00:05:06.360 --> 00:05:10.000 went for a walk and it just hit me that I had seen that school 82 00:05:10.040 --> 00:05:14.000 in the distance before. Super weird feeling. I'd also driven by an office 83 00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:17.199 building Minneapolis that a disgruntled employee that was going to be fired had come in 84 00:05:17.240 --> 00:05:20.279 and shot some people several years back, so I kind of get it. 85 00:05:20.800 --> 00:05:24.439 I never did see the stuff from the riots in Minneapolis, as I didn't 86 00:05:24.439 --> 00:05:28.000 want to go alone and my hubby wanted nothing to do with being there. 87 00:05:28.920 --> 00:05:32.000 Anyway. The reason I'm sending this I know you seem to need new things 88 00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:34.240 to watch and tend to be a bit behind on things, so maybe you 89 00:05:34.279 --> 00:05:38.639 haven't seen these yet. Okay, let's find out Dark Tourists on Netflix. 90 00:05:39.040 --> 00:05:42.639 It's eight episodes, but they didn't do more due to COVID. It's been 91 00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:45.279 a few years since I saw this, but I remember them going on tours 92 00:05:45.279 --> 00:05:47.920 to an island that was one of Pablo Escobars, went to Chernobyl and I 93 00:05:47.959 --> 00:05:50.839 think there was a Charles Manson episode and maybe Jack the Ripper. Oh that 94 00:05:50.920 --> 00:05:55.759 sounds interesting. Dark Tourists, Yeah, so you go to these like murderous 95 00:05:55.759 --> 00:06:00.360 websites, murderous places or places where tragedies took place next one. Sure, 96 00:06:00.439 --> 00:06:04.000 noble HBO Max, I think you said you had this, hoping you do. 97 00:06:06.319 --> 00:06:11.519 I don't. HBO Max is one that I know we have, but 98 00:06:11.560 --> 00:06:15.800 we have trouble logging into it, so hope, well really because you were 99 00:06:15.800 --> 00:06:18.800 watching the last of us on it and that's not too far okay, So 100 00:06:18.839 --> 00:06:21.879 you've just not gotten back in somethings. Yeah, we can't log into it. 101 00:06:21.920 --> 00:06:24.800 We log in and we can get on the phone. We have so 102 00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:28.959 many problems with logins. And then if you if I go to Colorado, 103 00:06:29.000 --> 00:06:30.240 when I log in there, then it's like, oh, you've changed your 104 00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:34.319 location and you can only change your location a couple of times, and blah 105 00:06:34.399 --> 00:06:39.199 blah blah. Hope one of them at least can entertain you for a few 106 00:06:39.279 --> 00:06:41.800 nights both or just one season and maybe last you a week off. You 107 00:06:41.879 --> 00:06:46.279 wen't have a great day. By the way, my husband hero that is 108 00:06:46.959 --> 00:06:50.920 I FR that's an airplane instrument flight rules written exam last month and hoping to 109 00:06:50.959 --> 00:06:55.600 do the oral and flights this month. So when you get your there's different 110 00:06:55.639 --> 00:06:59.399 kinds of pilot licenses. I am a visual flight rules guy, which means 111 00:06:59.480 --> 00:07:02.680 I can fly, but it has to be clear enough for me to see 112 00:07:02.800 --> 00:07:10.360 the ground and see the horizon, so I can navigate without instruments. Instrument 113 00:07:10.360 --> 00:07:13.519 flight rules means you can be in the soup and the clouds. You can 114 00:07:13.560 --> 00:07:16.000 be above the cloud deck flying above the clouds, can't see the ground at 115 00:07:16.000 --> 00:07:18.360 all, but you still know where you're going. I can't do that, 116 00:07:18.399 --> 00:07:23.639 so anyway. It is a rigorous kind of a thing. It's kind of 117 00:07:23.680 --> 00:07:27.240 like studying for the bar, but not that intense. But good luck. 118 00:07:27.600 --> 00:07:30.560 Those check rides are booked up far in advance. You should think about getting 119 00:07:30.600 --> 00:07:32.600 it. I hear it's the hardest thing you will do, though, Liz. 120 00:07:32.759 --> 00:07:40.319 I know Liz, I know her husband and they both I see him 121 00:07:40.319 --> 00:07:42.480 at you know, we talk about flying and things like that. So good 122 00:07:42.560 --> 00:07:50.439 luck on your Instrument flight rules exam. Next one, let's see I. 123 00:07:50.680 --> 00:07:54.000 My name is Tiffany, and I've been a listener since I can remember. 124 00:07:54.040 --> 00:07:57.120 I have so many members of memories of me and my grandma listening to the 125 00:07:57.160 --> 00:08:01.959 Dave Ryan Show on our rides to school. I want to say thank you 126 00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:05.720 for everything you in the show do. I still love listening to you all 127 00:08:05.720 --> 00:08:07.399 the morning and willing to work. I'm not a morning person, but you 128 00:08:07.439 --> 00:08:11.040 guys always make my morning's brighter. It's been a few months, but I 129 00:08:11.079 --> 00:08:15.040 remember one day on my way to work, day brought up a topic about 130 00:08:15.040 --> 00:08:20.000 mental health and going to a therapist. I've always been a huge believer in 131 00:08:20.040 --> 00:08:22.839 mental health and listening to your body, and I've been going to a therapist 132 00:08:22.839 --> 00:08:26.160 for several months now, but I don't feel like I'm getting the full benefits. 133 00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:28.199 So I'm starting my search for a person I was hoping for some guidance. 134 00:08:28.759 --> 00:08:33.320 I remember from the conversation that everyone on the team prefers when the therapist 135 00:08:33.480 --> 00:08:37.399 leads the session and ask questions. I want to find somebody like that. 136 00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:41.840 Current sessions, it's a lot of awkward silence with a few questions. I've 137 00:08:41.879 --> 00:08:46.360 attempted talking to my therapist about this and nothing's changed, so it's time to 138 00:08:46.399 --> 00:08:52.919 start my search. Do you have any advice on how you found your therapist, 139 00:08:52.000 --> 00:08:56.399 what questions do you ask, and how you start your search. I 140 00:08:56.440 --> 00:08:58.679 know it's personal and fully understand if you prefer not to talk about it, 141 00:09:00.200 --> 00:09:03.519 would you mind sharing information, the name of the clinic, et cetera. 142 00:09:03.279 --> 00:09:07.519 Thank you so much for taking the time to read this. I want everybody 143 00:09:07.519 --> 00:09:11.960 on the show, like on the show like our like family to me, 144 00:09:13.399 --> 00:09:16.000 and I truly appreciate you guys in the show. I'm not going to say 145 00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:18.440 her name, I know what you mean. I've gone to a couple of 146 00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:24.960 therapists and it was awkward because they're like, so, what's going on? 147 00:09:26.080 --> 00:09:28.639 And you talk and then they go uh huh, and then they say, 148 00:09:28.679 --> 00:09:33.120 what else is going on? Uh huh? What do you think about that? 149 00:09:33.399 --> 00:09:37.440 Uh huh? And I'm like, to me, that's that's a certain 150 00:09:37.519 --> 00:09:43.519 kind of therapy, and I would rather have a therapist who gives me directions, 151 00:09:43.559 --> 00:09:46.960 you know what I mean, gives me kind of like action to take 152 00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:50.039 based on what you're dealing with or what you want to overcome or something. 153 00:09:50.480 --> 00:09:56.279 I think there are different kinds of therapy. There's I don't know, cognitive 154 00:09:56.360 --> 00:10:01.480 behavioral therapy, reflective therapy, and the one that I think that you had 155 00:10:01.519 --> 00:10:05.759 experienced and I had experienced is the one where they ask you, so, 156 00:10:05.879 --> 00:10:09.960 what happened with your husband? Well blah blah blah blah blah, Well how 157 00:10:09.960 --> 00:10:11.679 does that make you feel? Well? I feel this way, And then 158 00:10:11.799 --> 00:10:16.279 how do you think that you'll you know, proceed from here and that's not 159 00:10:16.879 --> 00:10:20.759 what I wanted. You're going to therapy, Jenny, personal question, No, 160 00:10:20.879 --> 00:10:24.080 I have not. I've thought about I've definitely thought about it recently just 161 00:10:24.159 --> 00:10:28.080 because, like I've learned how to handle a lot of things in life. 162 00:10:28.120 --> 00:10:31.159 But one thing that I've still never gotten a grasp on is when i get 163 00:10:31.240 --> 00:10:37.320 like random bouts of anxiety or when I'm feeling really overwhelmed and stressed and stuff, 164 00:10:37.360 --> 00:10:41.000 because it like physically affects me. It's not just a mental thing at 165 00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:45.120 that point, Like when I'm feeling like physical effects from anxiety, like my 166 00:10:45.200 --> 00:10:48.960 chest is like feels like super heavy, or I have a stress headache or 167 00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:54.399 something like that. So, like, I definitely want to look into getting 168 00:10:54.440 --> 00:10:56.639 a therapist. My hold off and I know a lot of people tell me 169 00:10:56.679 --> 00:11:01.799 it's worth the money. Is that honest? My insurance isn't great here at 170 00:11:01.840 --> 00:11:07.679 Ihearts, and they only cover they do cover some therapy appointments for free, 171 00:11:07.759 --> 00:11:11.080 but I think it's only like up to five or something, which is great, 172 00:11:11.120 --> 00:11:15.360 a great start, but like this person says, sometimes it takes a 173 00:11:15.360 --> 00:11:16.919 while to even find a good therapist. So then am I going to like 174 00:11:18.120 --> 00:11:20.440 waste half of those appointments? Even looking for someone, and then I finally 175 00:11:20.440 --> 00:11:22.759 get one, and then I have to start paying out a pocket and stuff. 176 00:11:22.799 --> 00:11:26.080 And I have just a lot of medical debt from last year, from 177 00:11:26.080 --> 00:11:28.879 a lot of stuff that I had last year. So I've kind of been 178 00:11:28.879 --> 00:11:35.960 putting off the therapy appointments, and that sucks because you know, I will 179 00:11:35.960 --> 00:11:39.480 tell you this, Jenny, from all outward appearances, a lot of people 180 00:11:39.480 --> 00:11:41.679 to go to therapy or want to go to therapy appear to the rest of 181 00:11:41.759 --> 00:11:46.120 us is very normal, very happy. You seem normal, happy, you're 182 00:11:46.120 --> 00:11:50.799 busy, you're stressed, whatever. But you know, like Fallon seems you 183 00:11:50.840 --> 00:11:56.080 know, mostly normal, mostly got it together. Same with me, same 184 00:11:56.120 --> 00:12:00.080 with rape. But I think a lot of people still need therapy because we 185 00:12:00.120 --> 00:12:03.679 put on a nice face for everybody, but we still could benefit from therapy. 186 00:12:05.039 --> 00:12:07.360 I would say, keep looking. It's kind of like having a partner, 187 00:12:07.519 --> 00:12:11.039 Like if you are dating somebody and it's like, yeah, it's awkward, 188 00:12:11.440 --> 00:12:16.279 guess what It's time to move on to somebody who you just vibe with, 189 00:12:16.759 --> 00:12:20.360 you know, So I would say, keep looking. Yeah, I 190 00:12:20.440 --> 00:12:22.120 read something last night and I don't have it in front of me. I'm 191 00:12:22.120 --> 00:12:24.399 going to paraphrase a little bit, but it was written I think in The 192 00:12:24.440 --> 00:12:28.200 Atlantic or something. I saw it on Apple News last night, and basically 193 00:12:28.200 --> 00:12:35.200 it's saying that we have got to be careful about trigger words. In other 194 00:12:35.240 --> 00:12:39.559 words, she was a feminist writer and a mental health professional, if I 195 00:12:39.600 --> 00:12:41.960 remember right, and she said, starting in about twenty twelve or so, 196 00:12:43.000 --> 00:12:46.519 we started to become really aware of trigger words. So if you said sexual 197 00:12:46.559 --> 00:12:50.440 assault, well you have to say, well, that's going to trigger some 198 00:12:50.519 --> 00:12:54.600 people who went through something like that, and it's not good for people to 199 00:12:54.639 --> 00:12:58.120 hear trigger words. This therapist has said, I'm starting to change my mind 200 00:12:58.720 --> 00:13:05.320 because there are too many triggers in the world for us to avoid number one 201 00:13:05.639 --> 00:13:09.000 and to be so sensitive to number two. So in other words, let's 202 00:13:09.039 --> 00:13:13.480 say, let's say your trigger word was lottery, because you spend all your 203 00:13:13.480 --> 00:13:16.679 money, Jenny, on the lottery, and you've lost fourteen thousand dollars, 204 00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:20.440 so lottery is a trigger word for you. This therapist, who has gone 205 00:13:20.440 --> 00:13:24.440 with this the entire time, has basically started to change their mind and said, 206 00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:31.120 I'm starting to rethink our sensitivity to trigger words. So in other words, 207 00:13:31.120 --> 00:13:35.200 you need to learn to hear the word lottery without going oh, my 208 00:13:35.240 --> 00:13:37.679 god, I'm going to panic. I'm going to go into a fit of 209 00:13:37.679 --> 00:13:43.799 anxiety or depression because you cannot avoid all the words in the world that would 210 00:13:43.840 --> 00:13:48.320 upset you, right, Yeah, And I really think there is something to 211 00:13:48.519 --> 00:13:52.960 that, and you know, there's certain things that would trigger me. But 212 00:13:52.360 --> 00:13:56.240 I don't really have anything where I'd say I don't really want to hear that 213 00:13:56.279 --> 00:13:58.919 word. That's a trigger word to me. Yeah, So I know I 214 00:14:00.080 --> 00:14:03.799 don't really have anything either. But that's something that TikTok has been very strict 215 00:14:03.840 --> 00:14:07.120 with with trigger words. So like sexual assault is never really allowed to be 216 00:14:07.159 --> 00:14:11.519 said. It has to be like essay if someone's really not right, Okay, 217 00:14:11.600 --> 00:14:13.279 Yeah, a lot of things get flagged on TikTok if you have certain 218 00:14:13.320 --> 00:14:18.360 words in it. Obviously, like really inappropriate stuff gets flagged. But there's 219 00:14:18.360 --> 00:14:22.120 a lot of trigger words I think that are out there that people say a 220 00:14:22.120 --> 00:14:24.720 different way like essay instead. I didn't know that that makes sense, though, 221 00:14:26.320 --> 00:14:28.960 but I thought that was interesting that, you know, as we all 222 00:14:28.039 --> 00:14:35.120 evolve and therapy evolves or whatever, that this woman who is very big supporter 223 00:14:35.240 --> 00:14:37.279 of avoiding trigger words is now like, hey, I mean you think about 224 00:14:37.279 --> 00:14:39.320 it, you go through your life, and you're gonna say you're gonna see 225 00:14:39.360 --> 00:14:43.200 something in a movie, or you're gonna see, like, I don't know, 226 00:14:43.240 --> 00:14:46.440 maybe your dad died of lung cancer. So you see somebody who smokes 227 00:14:46.440 --> 00:14:50.320 and it triggers you. It would be good to get to a point where 228 00:14:50.320 --> 00:14:54.480 you can see somebody smoking without being upset by it. Yeah, so I 229 00:14:54.519 --> 00:14:58.879 don't I don't know. I'm only paraphrasing what I saw. Next one, 230 00:14:58.960 --> 00:15:01.960 my name is Kelsey. I want to tell you my senior picture story. 231 00:15:01.039 --> 00:15:05.000 The other day, I think on the podcast, I said senior pictures are 232 00:15:05.039 --> 00:15:07.200 a waste of money. Did I say that? Well, you said that 233 00:15:07.240 --> 00:15:11.039 because you were like give us your bold statements. But then a photographer email 234 00:15:11.080 --> 00:15:13.799 then on top of it, is this the same person or not? I 235 00:15:13.840 --> 00:15:18.639 don't think so. No, she said. Currently, I'm thirty two years 236 00:15:18.639 --> 00:15:22.720 old and graduated from Chicago Lakes High School two thousand nine. My parents divorced 237 00:15:22.759 --> 00:15:24.799 when I was in sixth grade. We were pretty broke afterward. Fast forward 238 00:15:24.799 --> 00:15:28.519 to my senior year. I did not want to ask my parents about senior 239 00:15:28.559 --> 00:15:31.279 pictures because I knew they couldn't afford it. So I used my camera that 240 00:15:31.320 --> 00:15:35.519 I got for Christmas, and I took my own picture, which is now 241 00:15:35.600 --> 00:15:37.080 called a selfie, but we didn't have a name for it back then. 242 00:15:37.600 --> 00:15:41.759 I drove my ninety one Honda Civic to Walmart, hooked up my camera to 243 00:15:41.799 --> 00:15:45.159 the photo printing Kiosk, and paid for my wallet sized pictures to give my 244 00:15:45.279 --> 00:15:48.279 friends and family. Even though my seventeen year old self with envious of other 245 00:15:48.320 --> 00:15:52.200 kids whose parents could afford the professional pictures, I was proud of myself for 246 00:15:52.279 --> 00:15:56.279 figure out a way to do it without involving my parents. To this day, 247 00:15:56.879 --> 00:15:58.559 I have that same mentality. I put my mind to something and get 248 00:15:58.559 --> 00:16:03.279 it done. Good lesson to include in your book, Dave, winky face, 249 00:16:03.360 --> 00:16:07.799 winky face. Side note. I have three brothers. One's thirty four 250 00:16:07.879 --> 00:16:12.639 and did not He did not have a senior picture. Why because his friend 251 00:16:12.720 --> 00:16:18.399 shaved off his eyebrows when he was passed out after drinking too much. That's 252 00:16:18.440 --> 00:16:22.960 funny. One is eighteen and graduated this year with no senior pictures because he 253 00:16:22.960 --> 00:16:26.240 didn't care about him. He isn't even having a grad party because he doesn't 254 00:16:26.240 --> 00:16:27.600 want one. The last one is fifteen, so we'll see if he has 255 00:16:27.639 --> 00:16:32.759 a picture, But so so far, myselfie is the only photo representation of 256 00:16:32.799 --> 00:16:36.720 my siblings and I graduating high school. Thanks for reading my email. Hopefully 257 00:16:36.759 --> 00:16:38.000 it wasn't too long. I met you guys at the Walk for Animals Humane 258 00:16:38.039 --> 00:16:42.639 Society in twenty eighteen or so, and you met my bearded dragon named Spike. 259 00:16:42.919 --> 00:16:47.720 I remember Spike, who sadly passed away in twenty twenty. Thanks for 260 00:16:47.759 --> 00:16:49.480 all you do and making my drive to work more entertaining. I attached my 261 00:16:49.559 --> 00:16:52.320 senior pictures so you can see how overture it is. Can see quick. 262 00:16:52.559 --> 00:16:55.840 I know that. Yeah, I know this is a podcast and nobody else 263 00:16:55.879 --> 00:16:57.279 can. But oh, I mean that's not bad for take it just a 264 00:16:57.360 --> 00:17:00.840 selfie. Back on my selfie is we're very obnoxious because I did. I 265 00:17:00.879 --> 00:17:04.359 took them on like disposable cameras. I was taken selfies back in high school. 266 00:17:04.799 --> 00:17:10.519 That is a really nice senior picture, Kelsey. And it's like, 267 00:17:10.559 --> 00:17:12.640 you know, your face is in focus and it's well lit, and then 268 00:17:12.720 --> 00:17:15.279 behind you everything's like, you know, a little like your shoulder is a 269 00:17:15.279 --> 00:17:18.200 little out of focus. So it's you did a really good job. I'm 270 00:17:18.240 --> 00:17:22.079 sure it took you thirty or forty attempts to get that one, but I 271 00:17:22.119 --> 00:17:25.799 really admire you for doing that one. And to listen, go get your 272 00:17:25.799 --> 00:17:30.200 senior pictures taken. There a tradition, but I bring it up and say 273 00:17:30.200 --> 00:17:33.759 it's a waste of money because Alison senior pictures. She went out and got 274 00:17:33.759 --> 00:17:37.599 different wardrobes and changed and had to pro take pictures. And we have a 275 00:17:37.640 --> 00:17:41.680 frame with like eight pictures of her. It's a cardboard frame. It's leaning 276 00:17:41.720 --> 00:17:45.880 against the wall in the guest room. Carson had a bunch of senior pictures 277 00:17:45.920 --> 00:17:52.480 taken down by Saint Anthony Falls and there's one of them hanging somewhere in the 278 00:17:52.480 --> 00:17:55.480 house. I think. Yeah, so senior pictures are a big deal, 279 00:17:56.240 --> 00:18:00.200 but they're quickly forgotten because as soon as your senior year is done, you've 280 00:18:00.240 --> 00:18:04.400 got a lot more important things in your life to worry about. Yeah, 281 00:18:04.480 --> 00:18:07.920 so if you want to look listen. I love photographers. I hope you 282 00:18:07.960 --> 00:18:11.839 make a lot of money as a photographer, but I will tell you if 283 00:18:11.839 --> 00:18:17.799 you're trying to save money, senior pictures are not the best investment. Maybe 284 00:18:17.880 --> 00:18:22.279 have some taken, but not eight hundred dollars worth. Yeah. I think 285 00:18:22.359 --> 00:18:25.759 we got a little bit of a discount on mine because I was actually the 286 00:18:25.799 --> 00:18:27.960 only time in my entire life was I asked to be a model for something. 287 00:18:29.160 --> 00:18:32.519 It was for our Senior and Pictures, the company that did it. 288 00:18:32.519 --> 00:18:34.359 There were like two big photography companies in my hometown, and one of them 289 00:18:34.759 --> 00:18:37.319 was like, can we feature you on like our big pamphlet. We sent 290 00:18:37.640 --> 00:18:42.680 set out to everyone to like the model. I was the girl on the 291 00:18:42.680 --> 00:18:47.319 front of the pamphlet. And then in the mall there was the stands with 292 00:18:47.359 --> 00:18:48.880 a bunch of the pictures on it, so I was on that as well. 293 00:18:49.079 --> 00:18:52.079 Oh that's cool. I'd never knew that. You never told me you 294 00:18:52.119 --> 00:18:56.759 were a model. And that's it for the Minnesota goodbye. Remember listening Monday 295 00:18:56.759 --> 00:19:00.599 morning, seven twenty or go back and listen to it on the podcast. 296 00:19:00.640 --> 00:19:03.880 And whenever you hear this and there's something pretty big that is a brewin here 297 00:19:03.920 --> 00:19:08.519 at KDWB, have a great weekend, don't forget about us.
