WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:05.759 And here we go with today's Minnesota Goodbye. Yesterday, we made the mistake 2 00:00:05.799 --> 00:00:08.919 of asking for a certain kind of email, and we've got one already. 3 00:00:08.919 --> 00:00:12.160 It is the emergency Pooh story, So here we go. Nicole writes, 4 00:00:12.160 --> 00:00:14.800 saying, hello, my favorite podcast. Thank you. That is very much, 5 00:00:14.919 --> 00:00:19.600 very flattering you asked for emergency Pooh stories. I was in college and 6 00:00:19.640 --> 00:00:24.000 I went out to Big Island on the fourth of July Classic with my friends, 7 00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:26.839 and I slept on my friend's boat that night. The boat was docked 8 00:00:26.879 --> 00:00:30.239 at their marina. The next morning, I woke up very early around five 9 00:00:30.239 --> 00:00:32.679 a into some rumbling. I knew I had to act fast. For those 10 00:00:32.719 --> 00:00:37.359 that don't know much about cabin sleeper boats, one huge rule is you do 11 00:00:37.439 --> 00:00:42.679 not pooh on the boat, and I think that is whenever I talk to 12 00:00:42.719 --> 00:00:46.159 bands that travel by bus, they have a rule that you don't pooh on 13 00:00:46.280 --> 00:00:50.960 the tour bus. I knew there were some public porta potties about a half 14 00:00:51.039 --> 00:00:53.640 mile away, so I began my track. Well, basically, I got 15 00:00:53.640 --> 00:00:58.000 off the boat, started walking down the dock and things were really starting to 16 00:00:58.039 --> 00:01:00.880 move. I had to make the quick decision on where to do the deed. 17 00:01:00.920 --> 00:01:04.920 I ended up squatting in a corner of the marina, right out in 18 00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:07.959 the open for everyone to see. To my knowledge, nobody saw me. 19 00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:14.840 But every time I go that by marina, I'm reminded of this shitty memory. 20 00:01:15.719 --> 00:01:19.359 Love you, guys. I would love a staff writer sticker from a 21 00:01:19.359 --> 00:01:22.840 beer fridge. Ha ha ha. If you still have some, I am 22 00:01:22.920 --> 00:01:26.640 running out. I'm getting down to the last few, so I get a 23 00:01:26.680 --> 00:01:29.040 mail some more out. I haven't done any in a couple of weeks, 24 00:01:29.640 --> 00:01:32.280 but yeah, you will get it. Thank you, Nicole. That's why 25 00:01:32.319 --> 00:01:37.159 we call you a staff writer, because you wrote content for the show next 26 00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:41.280 one day for the first time ever since playing wordle. I'm about to google 27 00:01:41.319 --> 00:01:44.400 today's answer. I can't figure it out. For the life of me. 28 00:01:44.480 --> 00:01:49.519 I'm on the last line and I can't even get that wrong. Oh I 29 00:01:49.519 --> 00:01:52.920 can't wait. Okay, the shame anyway, have you ever googled the answer? 30 00:01:52.959 --> 00:01:56.319 I mean, you are a MENSA member, so I imagine not Love 31 00:01:56.319 --> 00:01:59.599 you, David Jenny, Thanks for all you do. Dart licking from Stacy. 32 00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:02.879 I did play wordle today and it took me five guesses, so let 33 00:02:02.879 --> 00:02:06.079 me just look again. Here, hold on, I got to write myself 34 00:02:06.079 --> 00:02:08.120 a note. Yeah, hold on, Steve Lettarte gave me an idea, 35 00:02:08.800 --> 00:02:14.199 and hold on, I will tell you about that in a second. So 36 00:02:14.319 --> 00:02:16.759 I did play wordle today, and I know you're not that fascinated with what 37 00:02:16.879 --> 00:02:23.400 my wordal score was. But I got wordle today in five and it's not 38 00:02:23.520 --> 00:02:28.960 the six tries get six tries. And I'm not going to give you any 39 00:02:28.960 --> 00:02:32.719 clues because I've noticed that I'm not going to get too deep into wordle that 40 00:02:32.919 --> 00:02:37.599 if you even make a comment like, oh, it's a really easy word, 41 00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:40.639 that's a little bit too much of a clue. Or if you go, 42 00:02:40.719 --> 00:02:44.840 oh, I guess to D and that wasn't in there, then well 43 00:02:44.960 --> 00:02:49.479 that is too much of a clue. And if you say something like oh, 44 00:02:49.560 --> 00:02:52.199 it was a really hard word, you're gonna hate it, well that's 45 00:02:52.240 --> 00:02:54.199 too So I don't give clues, but it's a very I will say this 46 00:02:54.240 --> 00:03:00.919 one. It is a standard wordle word difficult but not crazy. And I've 47 00:03:00.960 --> 00:03:05.199 never googled the answer. I just keep guessing bad. Can I tell you 48 00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:07.439 what I do know? This is a confession. You ready, Yeah, 49 00:03:07.479 --> 00:03:09.879 I'm a little bit embarrassed about it. Okay, here we go. Only 50 00:03:09.879 --> 00:03:14.919 a few people know this. You get six chances on wordle to guess a 51 00:03:14.960 --> 00:03:17.879 five letter word. If I get frustrated, I'll guess pussy, pussy, 52 00:03:17.960 --> 00:03:23.319 pussy, I do, and they'll tell you what the word actually is. 53 00:03:24.319 --> 00:03:29.439 But I will guess pussy, pussy, pussy, pussy or whatever just until 54 00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:31.439 it because I'm frustrated. I'm like, fuck it, I don't care, 55 00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:35.319 and I think it's funny. And then I'll send it to my friend Nate 56 00:03:36.080 --> 00:03:39.199 and another friend of mine and they're like, oh, you gave up and 57 00:03:39.199 --> 00:03:43.199 you guess pussy. I'm like, yeah, that's because it's funny. You're 58 00:03:43.240 --> 00:03:46.960 funny, Okay, thank you. What do you call in this episode? 59 00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:50.599 Pussy? I don't know that I can do that because then it'd have to 60 00:03:50.680 --> 00:03:53.599 be like pee with five stars after it, So I could, I mean, 61 00:03:53.639 --> 00:04:01.120 that'll probably drawn, you know, or four stars puss. Why that's 62 00:04:01.120 --> 00:04:03.599 four stars? I had to think for a second how many stars it actually 63 00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:05.680 would be? Yeah, no, whatever you want to do. Or you 64 00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:13.319 could do P star star star y or p star ss y. That would 65 00:04:13.319 --> 00:04:17.519 probably get you. Yeah, I know, next one. I love y'all 66 00:04:17.560 --> 00:04:20.800 forever. Listening to The Dave Ryan Show pre Dave even in the eighties. 67 00:04:20.839 --> 00:04:27.000 I want a lovely neon splatter painted sweatshirt. Emblaze it with the station logo. 68 00:04:27.720 --> 00:04:31.720 One of my biggest regrets is letting that prize go. I was also 69 00:04:31.759 --> 00:04:36.199 a guest on Dave's Take a Shower podcast about drinking too much wine. I 70 00:04:36.240 --> 00:04:40.759 think I remember you, spoiler. I still drink too much wine, and 71 00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:45.000 I have written to the Minnesota Goodbye Pod a few times. I'm just gonna 72 00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:46.839 stop there for a second and say, Jamie, I don't remember your specific 73 00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:50.759 story by your name, but I kind of do. I will tell you 74 00:04:50.800 --> 00:04:54.519 this one. I have not had a drink since eleven forty five New Year's 75 00:04:54.519 --> 00:05:01.160 Eve, and I sometimes want one, but my sleep is is one hundred 76 00:05:01.240 --> 00:05:05.519 times better than it was. I don't have troublego when you drink before you 77 00:05:05.560 --> 00:05:08.120 go to bed. This is what I would usually do. I'd have a 78 00:05:08.199 --> 00:05:10.759 drink before I went to bed, and it was like ooh, a nighty 79 00:05:10.879 --> 00:05:14.240 night, warmy, warmy, cozy, cozy. And then I'd wake up 80 00:05:14.279 --> 00:05:16.360 three hours later and I'd have to pee, yeah, and I wouldn't feel 81 00:05:16.360 --> 00:05:18.839 warm and cozy, and I couldn't get back to sleep. So I don't 82 00:05:18.839 --> 00:05:24.120 do that anymore. I still wake up sometimes, but I usually get pretty 83 00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:29.120 much right back to sleep. And sleep is a natural deep sleep, not 84 00:05:29.240 --> 00:05:31.759 an alcohol and do sleep. So if you want a reason to stop drinking, 85 00:05:33.079 --> 00:05:36.519 sleep, Yeah. I believe that. I talked to one of our 86 00:05:36.519 --> 00:05:41.720 sales guys at our holiday party, and I think like a lot of people 87 00:05:41.800 --> 00:05:45.399 have a little bit of a misconception about who I actually am outside of work 88 00:05:45.439 --> 00:05:47.759 because we talk about how much of a party are right right, and realistically, 89 00:05:47.800 --> 00:05:50.680 I actually, like do not drink punch at all anymore. And I've 90 00:05:50.680 --> 00:05:54.639 never been like a just have a glass of wine at night type of person. 91 00:05:54.800 --> 00:05:57.120 You really It's like, if I have something fun going on, I'm 92 00:05:57.120 --> 00:06:00.240 probably drinking. But like I'm getting older and I don't do as many things. 93 00:06:00.279 --> 00:06:03.240 So he was like, you know, I'm gonna we were talking about 94 00:06:03.279 --> 00:06:05.439 getting good sleep. He goes, I'm gonna tell you something You're probably not 95 00:06:05.480 --> 00:06:09.040 gonna like it. And I go, well, tell me, and he 96 00:06:09.079 --> 00:06:12.879 goes, well, I cut out alcohol like six months ago, and like, 97 00:06:12.920 --> 00:06:14.519 you know, I was having a drink a day and I go, 98 00:06:14.720 --> 00:06:17.120 I just want to clear something up. I am not drinking every day, 99 00:06:17.360 --> 00:06:20.480 I am. I've never been that person. I rarely. I drink maybe 100 00:06:20.600 --> 00:06:25.240 once twice a month now, like total, at something that I have going 101 00:06:25.279 --> 00:06:28.839 on that's a social event. And and he was like, oh, well, 102 00:06:28.879 --> 00:06:30.240 I just you know, I thought maybe that would help you. And 103 00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:33.199 I go, no, I'm not the person who's having a glass of wine 104 00:06:33.199 --> 00:06:35.879 and going to bed and then waking up because of the alcohol and stuff. 105 00:06:35.879 --> 00:06:40.639 That's not who I am. Yeah, And it is kind of a misconception. 106 00:06:40.720 --> 00:06:42.879 It's kind of like, you know, we make fun of Jenny being 107 00:06:42.879 --> 00:06:46.360 a drunk, and I used to be. I'm not saying that that never 108 00:06:46.560 --> 00:06:50.199 was dry. I wasn't a dry, but I definitely partied a lot. 109 00:06:50.360 --> 00:06:54.240 Well, here's the funny thing. A lot of kids when they were little, 110 00:06:54.279 --> 00:07:00.639 they played duck duck goose. Jenny played duck duck, gray goose. 111 00:07:00.040 --> 00:07:05.120 And I made up that joke yesterday just for you. So there's duck duck, 112 00:07:05.439 --> 00:07:09.519 duck duck, what is it dunk duck, duck goose or duck duck, 113 00:07:09.639 --> 00:07:12.720 great gray duck, duckduck goose. Yeah. I came from Wisconsin, 114 00:07:12.759 --> 00:07:15.560 where it's duck duck goose, and when I heard it was gray duck in 115 00:07:15.600 --> 00:07:17.439 Minnesota, I was like, you all are a bunch of weird I was 116 00:07:17.480 --> 00:07:20.519 over here. He was duck duck goose when I was growing up in Colorado. 117 00:07:20.759 --> 00:07:23.879 But I was pretty proud of myself because I came up with a joke. 118 00:07:24.040 --> 00:07:28.360 Jenny, when she was a kid played duck duck gray duck gray goose. 119 00:07:28.399 --> 00:07:30.439 Fucked never mind, fucked up my own joke. Shut up, fuck 120 00:07:30.519 --> 00:07:34.680 up, Dave go retire. Okay, next one. And today, she 121 00:07:34.800 --> 00:07:39.399 continues, Jamie, I would like to weigh in on the happily ever after 122 00:07:39.519 --> 00:07:43.079 subject that's come up a few times in the recent past. I'm forty seven. 123 00:07:43.560 --> 00:07:46.199 I first met my husband when we were twenty. At that point, 124 00:07:46.439 --> 00:07:48.560 I was with my son's father, who had recently become friends with this new 125 00:07:48.600 --> 00:07:53.160 guy who I couldn't stand. He was cocky and rude and always had to 126 00:07:53.199 --> 00:07:57.079 be right. I was super annoyed whenever he came around until I wasn't. 127 00:07:57.160 --> 00:08:00.000 All of a sudden he was charming and thoughtful and even kind of intelligent. 128 00:08:00.759 --> 00:08:05.199 We became friends. Now, Remember she's married. Fast forward, No, 129 00:08:05.279 --> 00:08:07.720 she wasn't. She was not married. She was It was her son's father, 130 00:08:07.839 --> 00:08:09.759 So in other words, they weren't married. They just had a baby 131 00:08:09.759 --> 00:08:13.959 together. Fast forward about a year, we started dating, really digging each 132 00:08:15.000 --> 00:08:18.279 other. But we were young, so young, on again, off again, 133 00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:20.759 rinse, repeat. But at twenty four we were married. At twenty 134 00:08:20.759 --> 00:08:24.399 six, we had a baby. Over the next decade we would endure physical 135 00:08:24.439 --> 00:08:28.240 illnesses in one child, emotional trauma, behavior problems in the other, and 136 00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:33.600 a betrayal problem between each other. But we eventually overcame it all against all 137 00:08:33.600 --> 00:08:37.240 odds. We fought and we won. We reclaimed our friendship, We invented 138 00:08:37.240 --> 00:08:41.679 our we reinvented our love. And today I couldn't imagine my life with anyone 139 00:08:41.679 --> 00:08:46.559 else. My point, nothing worth it is ever going to be easy. 140 00:08:46.039 --> 00:08:48.679 You never get to stop working at it. But I promise that if you 141 00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:52.399 do, if you do, it can be the best thing you ever did. 142 00:08:54.000 --> 00:08:58.480 Next to dart Lick, dart Lick, I love that you are funny, 143 00:08:58.559 --> 00:09:01.240 So hang in their lovers forever, Jamie, and she gives me her 144 00:09:01.279 --> 00:09:07.159 address for a staff writer sticker click took a picture. Thank you, Jamie. 145 00:09:07.200 --> 00:09:11.240 I love that, Charie says my favorite morning show crew. This is 146 00:09:11.279 --> 00:09:15.279 Charisse, one of your biggest fans. I always say your name wrong, 147 00:09:15.279 --> 00:09:16.600 and I always will even if I knew how to say it. Right, 148 00:09:16.639 --> 00:09:20.240 I'd probably say it wrong just to piss her off. And I feel like 149 00:09:20.279 --> 00:09:22.960 she she came up to us at the stay fair, right and so and 150 00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:24.840 I and I was like, called, we're gonna remember, We're gonna remember. 151 00:09:24.919 --> 00:09:28.720 But now, because you go back and forth of the proper way to 152 00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:31.039 say it, now, I can't remember what she told us. That's fair. 153 00:09:31.159 --> 00:09:35.440 I don't either, wondering if anybody has ever met or believed they met 154 00:09:35.480 --> 00:09:39.720 their soulmate while they were already in a relationship, and what happened if they 155 00:09:39.720 --> 00:09:43.840 decided to leave their relationship and start a new one. I saw it on 156 00:09:43.120 --> 00:09:46.960 readit by the way, and thought it would be an interesting discussion. I 157 00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:52.639 think it happens all the time. I think that your d I think a 158 00:09:52.679 --> 00:09:56.879 lot of people, especially maybe younger people that aren't really experienced in love. 159 00:09:58.759 --> 00:10:03.000 Didn't we talk about last sometimes you know you're in love in the same way 160 00:10:03.759 --> 00:10:05.799 you know you had an orgasm. Didn't we make that analogy last week? 161 00:10:07.679 --> 00:10:11.200 Man? We talked about a lot last week, So probably and I'm blanking 162 00:10:11.200 --> 00:10:13.759 on what the conversation was, But because I think I remember saying, sometimes 163 00:10:13.759 --> 00:10:16.919 you think you're in love, Like the first girlfriend I had I was eighteen 164 00:10:18.000 --> 00:10:20.039 or nineteen years old that we would say I love you. We weren't in 165 00:10:20.120 --> 00:10:24.080 love. We were just kind of smitten and we had a good time and 166 00:10:24.120 --> 00:10:28.799 it was all new and whatever. But then when you're really in love, 167 00:10:30.039 --> 00:10:31.480 you kind of know. It's like, oh, I thought I was in 168 00:10:31.519 --> 00:10:35.639 love before. Maybe we use the good the analogy good sex. It's like, 169 00:10:35.679 --> 00:10:39.639 I thought I had good sex before. Did we use that analogy we 170 00:10:39.720 --> 00:10:41.519 use that? We said that it was mostly just like, yeah, you 171 00:10:41.600 --> 00:10:46.080 knew when you were actually having an orgasm because you thought you were, but 172 00:10:46.159 --> 00:10:48.759 then you definitely know when you actually have it. Yeah, And I think 173 00:10:48.799 --> 00:10:54.039 that's kind of what And so I'll go back to your email, Scharise that 174 00:10:54.159 --> 00:11:01.639 you absolutely can meet your soulmate while you already in a relationship, and what 175 00:11:01.679 --> 00:11:05.559 happened if they decided to leave their relationship and start a new one. Yeah, 176 00:11:05.720 --> 00:11:11.320 I think that you they say this, and I think it's true. 177 00:11:11.399 --> 00:11:16.799 Don't be with the one that you can live with, be with the one 178 00:11:16.919 --> 00:11:22.080 you can't live without. And I really that echoes in my mind because it's 179 00:11:22.120 --> 00:11:24.080 like, don't be the one that you can live don't be with the one 180 00:11:24.080 --> 00:11:26.080 that you can live with. Like, oh, yeah, he's okay. 181 00:11:26.399 --> 00:11:30.080 Oh she's okay, Yeah she's all right. Be with the one that you 182 00:11:30.159 --> 00:11:35.080 can't live without. Yeah, that's all I got to say about that one. 183 00:11:35.320 --> 00:11:39.559 Okay, more emails. By the way, I'm curious. I wonder 184 00:11:39.600 --> 00:11:41.320 how many people don't make it to the end of the Minnesota Goodbye. So 185 00:11:41.320 --> 00:11:46.519 I'm just curious. We're not done yet. But I gotta believe that there 186 00:11:46.519 --> 00:11:50.320 are people who absolutely listen through the entire thing every day, and then there 187 00:11:50.360 --> 00:11:54.080 are people who listen and go, ah, I've heard enough. I mean 188 00:11:54.120 --> 00:11:56.879 I do that once in a while. There's an airplane crash podcast. I 189 00:11:56.919 --> 00:12:00.720 love it. There's these two women, Stephanie and Shelley, and they're so 190 00:12:00.960 --> 00:12:03.159 I've gotten to know them. I almost feel like they're friends. And if 191 00:12:03.159 --> 00:12:05.120 I ever met them, I'd be like, I feel like you two are 192 00:12:05.120 --> 00:12:09.679 friends because they start the podcast with ten minutes of personal stories, then they 193 00:12:09.720 --> 00:12:15.279 get into this serious plane crash stuff. Then they ended up with ten more 194 00:12:15.320 --> 00:12:20.240 minutes of personal stories. And sometimes I stop after the plane crash content. 195 00:12:20.840 --> 00:12:26.320 But I just wonder, do you listen to the very end? Do you 196 00:12:26.360 --> 00:12:28.799 listen till you get bored? Do you listen till you go. I don't 197 00:12:28.799 --> 00:12:33.039 care about that email anyway. Curious next one, I missed my missed calling 198 00:12:33.039 --> 00:12:35.120 her texting my two best songs in the past twenty years, so I figured 199 00:12:35.159 --> 00:12:39.480 I would email the podcast instead. Earlier on Wednesday morning, Jenny brought up 200 00:12:39.480 --> 00:12:43.279 that the two best songs of the last twenty years are Cycloned by Baby Bash 201 00:12:43.320 --> 00:12:48.360 and Photograph by Nickelback, which we thought was kind of funny. So Casey 202 00:12:48.399 --> 00:12:52.240 writes in I'm gonna go with Somebody that I used to know by Gotia and 203 00:12:54.000 --> 00:13:00.720 Can't Stop the Feeling by Justin Timberlakekay, I kind of forgot about, honestly, 204 00:13:00.759 --> 00:13:03.720 both of those. But good songs, you know for sure, and 205 00:13:03.720 --> 00:13:07.720 you know now that you mentioned it, I would say Mirrors by Justin Timberlake, 206 00:13:07.279 --> 00:13:11.879 Well, that's not better than Cants Out the Feeling. I remember when 207 00:13:11.960 --> 00:13:15.039 Cants Out the Feeling came out. I was still working on City's ninety seventh 208 00:13:15.120 --> 00:13:18.279 morning show, and I thought it was such a good song. And I 209 00:13:18.399 --> 00:13:20.559 was seeing some guy at the time who was totally a douche bag, and 210 00:13:20.600 --> 00:13:24.519 I don't know why I was wasting my time with him, but I remember 211 00:13:24.639 --> 00:13:26.200 being like, how's your day going? He's like, not great, and 212 00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:28.639 I was like, oh, could it not be great? When this great 213 00:13:28.679 --> 00:13:33.039 song by Justin Timberlake just came out and I sent him the link to it 214 00:13:33.360 --> 00:13:37.080 across such a dead I was such a nerd. Oh my gosh, yeah, 215 00:13:37.159 --> 00:13:39.960 because I was chasing something I shouldn't have been chasing. And it only 216 00:13:39.080 --> 00:13:43.039 lasted about three weeks till I realized I wasn't going to chase that anymore. 217 00:13:43.120 --> 00:13:46.840 Yeah, that's funny. I do love that song, all right. So 218 00:13:46.120 --> 00:13:48.039 just a little challenge for you. You don't have to write him in if 219 00:13:48.039 --> 00:13:50.720 you don't want to, but just kind of fun What are the two best 220 00:13:50.720 --> 00:13:54.399 songs in the last twenty years? And the funny thing is, if you 221 00:13:54.440 --> 00:13:58.000 haven't played this little challenge yet, you can change your mind because as soon 222 00:13:58.039 --> 00:14:01.159 as you come up with two, you'll go, oh, well that one, 223 00:14:01.720 --> 00:14:05.279 all right, Here we go emergency Pooh story and here we go it, 224 00:14:05.360 --> 00:14:09.879 says Dave Jenny Drake. I always make sure I do number two before 225 00:14:09.960 --> 00:14:13.200 going on a run, says Nicole. There was old There was one early 226 00:14:13.279 --> 00:14:16.840 summer morning where I didn't. I began a couple of miles run out on 227 00:14:16.879 --> 00:14:20.960 a trail. About halfway through I felt the gurgling gut. I thought I'd 228 00:14:22.080 --> 00:14:24.759 keep going, but it got worse. I turned around to go back home, 229 00:14:24.840 --> 00:14:28.559 hoping i could make it, but soon I realized I'm too far away. 230 00:14:28.320 --> 00:14:31.399 It was coming now. I went off the trail into the trees near 231 00:14:31.440 --> 00:14:35.600 a park in someone's backyard. Thankfully I was able to keep it in long 232 00:14:35.720 --> 00:14:39.480 enough to pull down my shorts and underwear. The pooh exited quickly, and 233 00:14:39.559 --> 00:14:41.919 I thank god I had a Kleenex in my pouch. The saving grace was 234 00:14:41.919 --> 00:14:46.559 the early hour and the having the trees to hide in the sun hadn't come 235 00:14:46.600 --> 00:14:50.559 up yet and not many people were out more pooh situations. Anybody's served in 236 00:14:50.600 --> 00:14:54.399 the military surely has had to go in weird places at weird times. I 237 00:14:54.519 --> 00:15:00.440 was overseas in Iraq on a long convoy. We would take bathroom on the 238 00:15:00.480 --> 00:15:03.480 side of the road. Usually most of the time it's number one because we 239 00:15:03.519 --> 00:15:05.480 had to drink so much water and stay hydrated while they're in the desert. 240 00:15:05.519 --> 00:15:09.080 In Iraq, I had a few number two's on the side of the highway 241 00:15:09.120 --> 00:15:13.320 next to the truck with traffic driving right by. I don't know if anybody 242 00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:16.480 saw my bare bottom of that point, you don't care, you just gotta 243 00:15:16.519 --> 00:15:22.919 go. That reminds me that I remember when I would do marathons, women 244 00:15:24.039 --> 00:15:28.960 and men would trot into the woods just off the road to pee. Yep. 245 00:15:30.080 --> 00:15:33.919 And I remember in the start of Grandma's marathon, maybe three or four 246 00:15:33.960 --> 00:15:37.679 miles in, your bladder starts to act up and you go, oh, 247 00:15:37.720 --> 00:15:39.799 I got a pee. I got a pee right now. So people would 248 00:15:39.879 --> 00:15:43.240 see somebody run into the woods and be like going in to run the woods 249 00:15:43.240 --> 00:15:46.759 too. I remember a woman ran into the woods no farther away from me 250 00:15:46.039 --> 00:15:50.360 than you are right now, about six feet away, and I was facing 251 00:15:50.399 --> 00:15:54.600 this way, and she squatted kind of like out of my peripheral vision, 252 00:15:54.039 --> 00:15:56.639 and I might have glanced just to like, you know, like because you 253 00:15:56.679 --> 00:16:00.159 can't help it. But let me tell you, there is nothing attractive about 254 00:16:00.200 --> 00:16:04.919 watching somebody pee unless you're into that. No. So, but it was 255 00:16:06.000 --> 00:16:12.279 like, I think you can easily safely do it without feeling like stared at 256 00:16:12.480 --> 00:16:18.240 or oogled or whatever, because nobody cares you're there to pee just like they 257 00:16:18.279 --> 00:16:22.639 are. Yeah, that makes sense, it totally does. But I man, 258 00:16:22.759 --> 00:16:25.840 I can't imagine having to have done stuff like that in I mean, 259 00:16:25.840 --> 00:16:27.440 if you're in the military and serving and stuff, and I know that it's 260 00:16:27.440 --> 00:16:30.399 just like those are the situations you're put in. I would have such stage 261 00:16:30.399 --> 00:16:33.840 fright always. I think I would just like constantly, like it would sit 262 00:16:33.919 --> 00:16:37.000 in my system and I wouldn't be able to get it out if I was 263 00:16:37.039 --> 00:16:40.840 having to do it on the side of the road like that. Yeah, 264 00:16:40.879 --> 00:16:44.080 thank you for keeping me entertained and informed at work, Nicole, Thank you 265 00:16:45.000 --> 00:16:48.159 very much. Next one is from sid in New York City. I'm out 266 00:16:48.159 --> 00:16:51.840 in Colorado with my family this week. I've saved up a ton of show 267 00:16:51.879 --> 00:16:56.240 podcasts Minnesota Goodbye, and I'm still fun to listen to while I'm here. 268 00:16:56.279 --> 00:17:00.840 Which is your podcast with fallI Yeah, I, like many people have been 269 00:17:00.879 --> 00:17:03.879 listening for almost a decade. I didn't know Dave's kid details. Question for 270 00:17:03.000 --> 00:17:08.799 Dave, can you share how you and Susan ended up back together? You 271 00:17:08.799 --> 00:17:14.519 know, I guess I could, But I really it makes somebody else not 272 00:17:14.640 --> 00:17:18.759 look so good. I'll be honest, it makes Julie not look so good. 273 00:17:18.279 --> 00:17:22.480 I'm and she's dead and I'm not going to make Julie not look so 274 00:17:22.599 --> 00:17:26.279 good. So but yeah, I don't mind you asking I hope you don't 275 00:17:26.279 --> 00:17:30.480 mind me not answering question for everyone, what place would be the best fit 276 00:17:30.559 --> 00:17:33.640 for you to live in? Not necessarily that you want to live there right 277 00:17:33.680 --> 00:17:36.799 now, but what place would fit your lifestyle vibe where you could be happiest 278 00:17:37.160 --> 00:17:41.680 in the US and the entire world. Not talking family vacation into consideration, 279 00:17:42.119 --> 00:17:47.519 we can assume they all live close oh family location. Yeah, So in 280 00:17:47.559 --> 00:17:51.079 other words, I wouldn't want to move away because Alison lives here. But 281 00:17:51.720 --> 00:17:56.759 I don't know. I would say, I don't know, maybe Montana or 282 00:17:56.799 --> 00:18:00.880 Wyoming. Yeah, what about you Oregon? Okay? I went there last 283 00:18:00.960 --> 00:18:06.079 year for a snowboarding trip, and it has the perfect mixture of activities. 284 00:18:06.200 --> 00:18:08.599 You're right in between. It's kind of like Denver, where you've got mountains 285 00:18:08.640 --> 00:18:14.160 on one side desert on the other, and then it's also decently close to 286 00:18:14.200 --> 00:18:18.279 the ocean. So when we went there, I think our bartender told us 287 00:18:18.359 --> 00:18:21.920 that he doesn't really travel to go on vacations because the vacation is just like 288 00:18:22.039 --> 00:18:25.680 six hours away driving distance, because he could drive to like Napa Valley in 289 00:18:25.880 --> 00:18:30.000 California from there, And so I think, yeah, Bend was just such 290 00:18:30.000 --> 00:18:33.200 a cool city. That had so many things that Andrew and I like to 291 00:18:33.240 --> 00:18:37.559 do activities wise, so totally, Ben I get that because that's a part 292 00:18:37.599 --> 00:18:41.240 of the country that I've always wanted to visit and I've just never been out 293 00:18:41.279 --> 00:18:44.599 that way. So that was one of my goals is to go out there 294 00:18:44.880 --> 00:18:48.359 and ride the motorcycle around the Cascade Mountains. I think it'd be really awesome. 295 00:18:48.440 --> 00:18:51.119 Did she answer for herself where she would? She did not know, 296 00:18:51.319 --> 00:18:59.200 Actually she did not. There's one thing you haven't covered, Oh, she 297 00:18:59.400 --> 00:19:02.640 It was somebody else asking the same question when you got together the final time 298 00:19:02.680 --> 00:19:06.160 and when you got married, what was it that brought together? And again, 299 00:19:06.319 --> 00:19:10.000 So like I said, I don't mind you asking if you don't mind 300 00:19:10.039 --> 00:19:15.640 me not answering. Dave Jenny Drake, longtime listener, first time email or 301 00:19:15.359 --> 00:19:18.599 when people were calling to talk about things they've seen on zoom calls. Last 302 00:19:18.599 --> 00:19:23.039 Friday, you had a side discussion about beeping smoke detectors. I wanted to 303 00:19:23.039 --> 00:19:29.799 give in your listeners a friendly PSA. Smoke detectors should be replaced every seven 304 00:19:29.799 --> 00:19:33.880 to ten years. If your smoke detector starts beeping after you change the battery, 305 00:19:33.720 --> 00:19:37.279 usually beeping once every five minutes or so versus the old sixties thirty to 306 00:19:37.319 --> 00:19:41.880 sixty seconds. It is likely reached the end of its life and should be 307 00:19:41.960 --> 00:19:44.720 replaced. Thanks for making me smile every day. Keep up the good work, 308 00:19:45.039 --> 00:19:48.920 dart lick lick lick, dart lick. Ooh, that sounds delicious, 309 00:19:51.160 --> 00:19:53.519 Laura, or you wanted to use delicious. Yeah, that sounds delicious. 310 00:19:55.480 --> 00:19:59.519 That's from Laura in Eden Prairie thinking Laura, last one, I believe, 311 00:19:59.519 --> 00:20:02.599 and here we go. This is from Kua. I don't know if it's 312 00:20:02.640 --> 00:20:04.799 something you can help me with, but I remember Jenny had jury duty. 313 00:20:06.319 --> 00:20:10.240 I just got a summons, and the instructions for what I'm supposed to do 314 00:20:10.279 --> 00:20:12.960 on the day off is very confusing. I just want to know if Jenny 315 00:20:14.000 --> 00:20:17.519 can do a quick summary of the steps you're supposed to do, that would 316 00:20:17.519 --> 00:20:22.839 be appreciated. Fellow dart lick from Kua, Jenny. Yes, so they 317 00:20:22.880 --> 00:20:26.480 should have given you a website and or a phone number you call in. 318 00:20:26.960 --> 00:20:30.359 You have to check in the evening before, At least for mine, it 319 00:20:30.400 --> 00:20:32.839 was like a six pm or later. You check in to see if you 320 00:20:32.839 --> 00:20:34.759 have to report the next morning at like eight thirty or something. Like that, 321 00:20:36.200 --> 00:20:40.000 So they will say a list of numbers. If your group number was 322 00:20:40.079 --> 00:20:41.960 called, you have to go in. If your group number was not called, 323 00:20:42.000 --> 00:20:47.519 you then have to check in again around like twelve thirty PM. I 324 00:20:47.559 --> 00:20:49.839 think it is that next day. So say that's a Monday. Now you're 325 00:20:49.839 --> 00:20:53.400 calling in at tenth or twelve thirty to then see if you have to report 326 00:20:53.400 --> 00:20:57.000 for the afternoon time slot. It might be noon, like there's at least 327 00:20:57.039 --> 00:21:00.920 like an hour of time in between where you you know if you have to 328 00:21:00.920 --> 00:21:03.880 report. But that was always really frustrating to me because I would basically do 329 00:21:03.960 --> 00:21:07.519 the morning show, sit around and wait until noon to call to see if 330 00:21:07.559 --> 00:21:11.680 I then had to report for the afternoon and then you listen again to see 331 00:21:11.680 --> 00:21:14.440 if your number is called. The website, I will say, fun fact, 332 00:21:14.480 --> 00:21:18.359 was always updated sooner than the phone call was like updated, so that 333 00:21:18.480 --> 00:21:22.559 was a faster way to see. But until your number is called or until 334 00:21:22.599 --> 00:21:26.240 your two weeks are up, you do have to consistently be checking in if 335 00:21:26.240 --> 00:21:29.480 you have not been called in. If you get called in, you could 336 00:21:29.519 --> 00:21:32.799 be sitting in a waiting room forever. For me, I had a really 337 00:21:32.880 --> 00:21:37.359 quick like they called my number right away. The day I reported, and 338 00:21:37.400 --> 00:21:40.559 then I sat through a jury selection and was on a trial the next day 339 00:21:40.599 --> 00:21:45.279 already that luckily was solved that day. So it really depends on how many 340 00:21:45.319 --> 00:21:49.200 court cases they have that week, how serious the court cases are, stuff 341 00:21:49.240 --> 00:21:52.240 like that. But yeah, the main thing is just pay attention to the 342 00:21:52.279 --> 00:21:56.319 website and call in if that makes you more comfortable to call versus just looking 343 00:21:56.359 --> 00:22:00.079 at the website. God, you just gave me like a post from I 344 00:22:00.079 --> 00:22:03.160 had to express disorder because I remember all the days of wait to see whether 345 00:22:03.240 --> 00:22:07.240 Jenny was coming back in and then calling Bailey and letting Bailey know whether shinny 346 00:22:07.279 --> 00:22:11.519 to come in and work and anyway. And I one other thing is I 347 00:22:11.519 --> 00:22:15.279 will say they skipped my group number and went to a different round because they 348 00:22:15.279 --> 00:22:18.559 were just going in order of numbers and they skipped mine. And I was 349 00:22:18.599 --> 00:22:21.000 like, sweet, there's no way I'm getting called in. And then I 350 00:22:21.039 --> 00:22:22.880 got called in on my second week. And most people had told me like, 351 00:22:22.920 --> 00:22:26.000 if you don't get called in the first week, you're probably not getting 352 00:22:26.000 --> 00:22:29.160 called in. So just know that you still need to check every single day 353 00:22:29.240 --> 00:22:32.039 up until your two weeks are over. Because I think I was called in 354 00:22:32.200 --> 00:22:37.680 on a Wednesday in the second week of my call ins. You know what, 355 00:22:37.839 --> 00:22:40.640 and some people go their whole life without doing jury duty. I've never 356 00:22:40.680 --> 00:22:41.920 done jury duty and I don't mind. If I do, I wouldn't mind. 357 00:22:42.119 --> 00:22:45.880 And that is it for the Minnesota Goodbye. If that sparked any ideas 358 00:22:45.880 --> 00:22:48.960 you want to write in, get a staff writer sticker. Even if you've 359 00:22:48.960 --> 00:22:51.799 written in before. You're more than welcome and encouraged to. I mean, 360 00:22:51.799 --> 00:22:56.119 you're a staff writer, so you've got a duty to fulfill to come up 361 00:22:56.160 --> 00:23:02.160 with content for the Minnesota Goodbye.
