WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.520 --> 00:00:09.720
We had a very busy show on
the morning show today and it was fun

2
00:00:10.919 --> 00:00:16.879
but busy, and we never really
quite caught up to ourselves today because we

3
00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:22.079
were Hannah Flood from Channel nine was
in and she was doing her live shot

4
00:00:22.399 --> 00:00:25.399
and we were having so much fun
talking to her and then being on TV

5
00:00:25.839 --> 00:00:30.440
that we didn't really pay as much
attention as we should have to the show.

6
00:00:31.239 --> 00:00:33.280
My fault. One of the things
that we were going to do,

7
00:00:33.320 --> 00:00:36.119
we had a really funny April Fool's
idea. We're like, we're gonna play

8
00:00:36.159 --> 00:00:40.320
bowling alley sound effects in the background
and then have people go why is there

9
00:00:40.359 --> 00:00:43.640
bowling alley sounds? And we would
do an April Fool's joke and say,

10
00:00:43.920 --> 00:00:47.880
well, they put a bowling alley
on the floor below us, and I

11
00:00:47.880 --> 00:00:52.240
can't believe it, but we kept
forgetting to make the bowling alley sound long

12
00:00:52.359 --> 00:00:55.600
enough so it would run out,
and then I kept forgetting to play it,

13
00:00:55.880 --> 00:00:59.439
and finally we just said, ah, fuck it. So have you

14
00:00:59.479 --> 00:01:00.920
heard the show and you're like,
what the hell was that? There's your

15
00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:07.799
explanation. You know. A friend
of mine was talking about this was back

16
00:01:07.840 --> 00:01:11.480
when radio was different, and you'll
hear how dated it is. When I

17
00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:15.560
tell you the April fools joke.
A friend of mine did an April Fool's

18
00:01:15.640 --> 00:01:21.840
joke in Phoenix in about nineteen ninety
or so, and he said, sad

19
00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:29.560
news out of Hollywood. Bart Simpson
died in a skateboard accident. And everybody

20
00:01:29.640 --> 00:01:33.599
knew that it was an April Fool's
joke, but people would call in and

21
00:01:33.640 --> 00:01:36.280
play along and they'd be like,
yeah, it's so sad, you know,

22
00:01:36.439 --> 00:01:40.439
I watch him on TV all the
time. And they had a politician

23
00:01:40.480 --> 00:01:42.840
call in, John McCain, because
he was an Arizona politician, and this

24
00:01:42.879 --> 00:01:47.000
took place in Arizona, and John
McCain said, yeah, we're going to

25
00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:52.480
have him buried in Arlington National Cemetery
and his you know, he's going to

26
00:01:52.519 --> 00:01:55.959
have a headstone shaped like a skateboard. And everybody played along with it,

27
00:01:56.000 --> 00:02:01.959
and it was so clever and so
not a goofy, wacky April Fool's joke.

28
00:02:02.159 --> 00:02:05.400
Yeah, that I really like that
one. So that's a good one.

29
00:02:06.120 --> 00:02:08.039
Hours today was you know, we
didn't try that hard, No,

30
00:02:08.360 --> 00:02:12.879
Yeah, kind of got shoehorned in
with a million other things, a million

31
00:02:12.919 --> 00:02:15.319
other things stuff on the show.
We have a show sheet every day that

32
00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:19.520
talks about what we're going to do, and I'm looking at it, and

33
00:02:19.919 --> 00:02:23.400
a lot of it we did not
even get to. Yeah, there's probably

34
00:02:23.400 --> 00:02:25.560
like four or five bits we had
scheduled. There's segments that we did.

35
00:02:25.599 --> 00:02:29.759
And here's the interesting thing. Jenny
had a skin tag and had a big

36
00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:32.560
update on the skin tag today.
Yeah it's gone. It fell off.

37
00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:38.240
What's there now just a hole.
So it's a very very tiny hole.

38
00:02:38.280 --> 00:02:43.199
But there's kind of just like the
circular skin that's inflated right now and then

39
00:02:43.240 --> 00:02:46.479
there's like a hole right in the
middle of it. So now I feel

40
00:02:46.479 --> 00:02:50.479
like I'm just going to have that
on my arm now instead of a skin

41
00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:53.319
tag. Okay, because it's going
to have a scar, because I have

42
00:02:53.319 --> 00:02:55.439
a scar from when I pierced my
belly button and then that like got messed

43
00:02:55.479 --> 00:02:58.560
up and stuff, so I have
a scar over there. So I think

44
00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:00.039
I'm just gonna have sort of a
scar. I mean, I'll take what

45
00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:05.240
I have now over the skin tag
because the skin tag was really gross looking

46
00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:07.039
to me. Yeah, I mean
I never really saw your skin tag.

47
00:03:07.080 --> 00:03:12.039
I think you showed it to me
one time. But let me ask you

48
00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:15.840
this one. You and women who
have done this. I know so many

49
00:03:15.879 --> 00:03:21.599
women who had a belly button ring
back when they were probably more popular,

50
00:03:21.639 --> 00:03:27.840
maybe ten fifteen ish years ago,
and I don't know them personally, But

51
00:03:28.439 --> 00:03:30.479
now that I think about it,
I don't know that many, but I

52
00:03:30.520 --> 00:03:35.520
know women who've got a belly button
piercing ring scar. Yep, do you

53
00:03:35.599 --> 00:03:39.240
regret because it leaves a sizeable scar? Do you regret it or do you

54
00:03:39.280 --> 00:03:42.599
not care? I don't care.
I don't care. I'm not in a

55
00:03:42.680 --> 00:03:46.719
bikini enough to care about that.
And if I do wear my high waisted

56
00:03:46.759 --> 00:03:50.719
crop top situation, usually that covers
my belly button, so I'm never showing

57
00:03:50.759 --> 00:03:54.120
it off for the most part.
So the few times a year somebody gets

58
00:03:54.159 --> 00:04:00.719
to enjoy my presence in a bikini. Yeah, well, you know,

59
00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:02.560
I mean, Jenny, I'm not
going to make any comments on what you

60
00:04:02.639 --> 00:04:06.000
might look like in a bikini,
but I will say I'm going to have

61
00:04:06.039 --> 00:04:10.120
everybody around the show start dressing a
little bit more sexy. Yeah. So,

62
00:04:10.319 --> 00:04:12.800
yeah, like a begin Monday,
what are you going to be wearing?

63
00:04:13.240 --> 00:04:17.759
Probably booty shorts. Oh I like
that booty shorts and like just like

64
00:04:17.800 --> 00:04:21.120
a halter toop of some short,
we're going to need to get a sponsor

65
00:04:21.160 --> 00:04:25.800
by like a spray tan company or
something. Yeah, no shit, we

66
00:04:25.920 --> 00:04:30.079
are me and you not Vond obviously
are the tailest people in this building.

67
00:04:30.360 --> 00:04:34.120
Very pale. I got a snail
mail card. And the reason I wanted

68
00:04:34.120 --> 00:04:41.879
to acknowledge this is because Mandy Montagne
in Lonsdale, Minnesota. I hope I

69
00:04:41.920 --> 00:04:44.480
said her name right. She sent
me a bunch of stamps, a bunch

70
00:04:44.480 --> 00:04:47.720
of postage stamps for the Minnesota Goodbye. She sent me forty postage stamps.

71
00:04:47.720 --> 00:04:50.639
Oh nice. And I've had her
card sitting over here in the corner of

72
00:04:50.680 --> 00:04:54.199
the studio for a couple of weeks, and I don't want her to think

73
00:04:54.199 --> 00:04:57.279
that I blew it off or didn't
appreciate it. So I'm going to read

74
00:04:57.360 --> 00:05:00.560
part of what she wrote. She
sends a card and it says, Dave

75
00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:04.519
Ryan show here. I am finally
putting a paper and sending some number one

76
00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:11.319
fan Mailaw. I'm a longtime listener, like since elementary school and now I'm

77
00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:15.360
early forties old the good old fashioned
way, I might add. You see,

78
00:05:15.399 --> 00:05:17.480
I'm a mail carrier, so I
got to keep those letters going.

79
00:05:17.639 --> 00:05:21.680
My peeps keep sending those Christmas cards, Dave. I also worked part time

80
00:05:21.720 --> 00:05:25.879
at a restaurant. Been in the
industry since I was fourteen. Jenny and

81
00:05:25.879 --> 00:05:30.560
I could exchange stories for days.
I'm sure like nicknames for the regulars,

82
00:05:30.600 --> 00:05:34.800
whether we like them or dislike them. Here's some in our place, drunk

83
00:05:34.839 --> 00:05:41.279
mom, what's on tap? Guy, Strawberry, no teeth lady, and

84
00:05:41.360 --> 00:05:44.680
fish lips. So did you have
regulars that you would give nicknames to?

85
00:05:44.959 --> 00:05:46.720
We did have some regulars, and
when I worked at the Straight Og in

86
00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:50.279
Northeast, but I didn't work there
frequent enough to probably have a nickname for

87
00:05:50.360 --> 00:05:54.600
them. Bubba Gumps was a tourist
spot, so we didn't really have regulars.

88
00:05:54.639 --> 00:05:57.680
Right, Oh that makes sense.
Yeah, anyway, she says,

89
00:05:57.680 --> 00:06:00.199
I've enclosed some stamps to assist your
sticker mailing. No, I don't get

90
00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:03.000
a discount, but I'm happy to
help. I do not currently have any

91
00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:08.000
stickers on my water bottle, but
I'm hoping someday to get some, Dave,

92
00:06:08.079 --> 00:06:12.279
If you didn't know, the Roadhouse
in Henderson is opening back up this

93
00:06:12.399 --> 00:06:16.680
spring as a brewery and revamp bar
and grill. That's good news. I

94
00:06:16.720 --> 00:06:19.480
hear you say. You come through
on your bike sometime. Hope to run

95
00:06:19.519 --> 00:06:26.160
into you. All right, sincerely, your newest staff writer, Mandy.

96
00:06:26.240 --> 00:06:30.399
Thank you, Mandy. I so
appreciate that. Yea, there is another

97
00:06:30.439 --> 00:06:36.079
email that came in and I want
to find it here, just if you

98
00:06:36.079 --> 00:06:39.879
can give me a second. Here
we go, Okay, here we go.

99
00:06:40.600 --> 00:06:43.920
I have two rants about two topics
this morning. First, the chump

100
00:06:43.959 --> 00:06:48.879
of casino ads are annoying as fuck, but maybe the Lady Land Lucky Land

101
00:06:48.920 --> 00:06:53.879
casino ones are just as bad.
Oh, this is when we read last

102
00:06:53.920 --> 00:06:57.959
week, I think because they said
why do we still hear Fallons Valentine to

103
00:06:58.000 --> 00:07:01.240
add for Lundson byer Lees before the
minute so to goodbye. She wrote that

104
00:07:01.319 --> 00:07:05.360
on March twenty six, and it's
annoying af I think Bailey's doing a great

105
00:07:05.439 --> 00:07:10.480
job filling in, as is Vaunt
and so yeah, I think we did

106
00:07:10.519 --> 00:07:13.560
read this last week. We did, didn't we? That's Annie in Roseville.

107
00:07:13.879 --> 00:07:15.680
Okay, So I'm gonna hit delete, and that's why I try to

108
00:07:15.720 --> 00:07:18.040
remember to hit delete on these so
I don't go back and read them again.

109
00:07:18.079 --> 00:07:21.439
But obviously I did not. All
Right, here we go from Katie.

110
00:07:23.240 --> 00:07:27.079
She lives in Virginia. She says, I don't know if that's Virginia,

111
00:07:27.199 --> 00:07:31.399
Minnesota or Virginia the state. I'm
currently sitting at sky Zone and something's

112
00:07:31.439 --> 00:07:35.480
really getting on my nerves, probably
more than it should thanks to raging pregnancy

113
00:07:35.519 --> 00:07:40.759
hormones. So please tell me if
I'm overreacting. There are two kids running

114
00:07:40.759 --> 00:07:44.680
around in an area that has closed
off due to no staff supervision. My

115
00:07:44.759 --> 00:07:48.920
first thought is whatever, But as
I walk further, their mom is close

116
00:07:49.000 --> 00:07:54.199
by, not only watching them break
the rules, but videoing them having a

117
00:07:54.199 --> 00:07:58.879
grand old time. I just can't
with how some aware, how unaware some

118
00:07:58.959 --> 00:08:01.879
parents are. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a perfect parent, probably

119
00:08:01.879 --> 00:08:05.759
on my phone too much or allow
a little bit too much TV. But

120
00:08:05.879 --> 00:08:09.959
in public, I always know where
my kid is and make him aware of

121
00:08:09.000 --> 00:08:16.199
what's appropriate and what's not. Dart
Lick always diddling the bean Kate from Virginia,

122
00:08:16.600 --> 00:08:20.240
Kate, I love that so much. I do think that if you

123
00:08:20.360 --> 00:08:28.279
have little asshole kids, you become
so numb to them being little assholes that

124
00:08:28.360 --> 00:08:31.360
after a while it's just part of
your day. Except for she said that

125
00:08:31.399 --> 00:08:37.120
the mom was recording them, so
she was basically encouraging them to be little

126
00:08:37.159 --> 00:08:41.320
assholes and go in the area that
was closed off. Yeah, I know,

127
00:08:41.679 --> 00:08:43.919
I don't know. There's some it's
kind of the same people that don't

128
00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:48.279
clean up after their dog or let
their dog poop in your yard. Why

129
00:08:48.440 --> 00:08:52.000
how can you think that's okay?
But some people just do and will never

130
00:08:52.039 --> 00:08:56.519
figure it out? Yeah? Why
do some people never mow their lawn?

131
00:08:56.960 --> 00:09:01.159
I don't know. Why do some
people litter? Yeah, there's just I

132
00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:05.120
don't know. I don't get it. That would have definitely burned me up

133
00:09:05.120 --> 00:09:07.639
too, but I wouldn't have said
anything. You know, what can you

134
00:09:07.639 --> 00:09:09.519
do? Yeah, she didn't say
anything, did you. I don't think

135
00:09:09.559 --> 00:09:16.559
so. Yeah. All right,
next one, I well, I'm gonna

136
00:09:16.559 --> 00:09:18.440
come back to that one, because
that is maybe not something for the Minnesota

137
00:09:18.440 --> 00:09:26.639
Goodbye. Let's try this one.
I'll jump right in and get straight to

138
00:09:26.679 --> 00:09:30.600
the point, says Sydney. I
watched a movie on Netflix this weekend called

139
00:09:30.759 --> 00:09:35.840
On the Line. Spoiler free in
case you have not, but the movie's

140
00:09:35.840 --> 00:09:41.840
about a nighttime radio host veteran played
by Mel Gibson named Elvis. A craze

141
00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:46.639
listener calls in and says he's got
his wife and family kidnapped and the building

142
00:09:46.720 --> 00:09:52.759
is rigged with explosives, then makes
him participate in some horrible games. Won't

143
00:09:52.840 --> 00:09:54.799
say much more so I won't give
away the ending, but the last ten

144
00:09:54.840 --> 00:09:58.360
minutes or so really took me for
a twist. If any of you have

145
00:09:58.440 --> 00:10:01.000
seen it, a to know what
you thought. If you haven't, I'd

146
00:10:01.000 --> 00:10:05.600
recommend it wasn't the best movie I've
ever seen, but one of the better

147
00:10:05.639 --> 00:10:09.559
Netflix movies I've watched in a while. Also, Dave, hope your son

148
00:10:09.600 --> 00:10:11.559
is adjusting well to the new Bundle
of Joy. That's it for now,

149
00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:16.679
Sydney. Somebody brought this up that
sounds like an old mel Gibson movie.

150
00:10:16.679 --> 00:10:18.399
Is that a new one? I
don't know, because it did start showing

151
00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:22.639
up on my Netflix too, But
I think Netflix starts to push ones that

152
00:10:22.159 --> 00:10:24.960
just came out, but they're not
necessarily new. Because I just watched a

153
00:10:26.000 --> 00:10:28.120
movie from like a year and a
half ago, Okay, that was like

154
00:10:28.279 --> 00:10:33.399
not new new, but it was
getting pushed. Okay, there was a

155
00:10:33.440 --> 00:10:43.679
mel Gibson movie about thirty darn it
about thirty years ago where mel Gibson was

156
00:10:43.840 --> 00:10:50.279
like a TV star or something and
somebody kidnapped his family and mel Gibson said,

157
00:10:50.360 --> 00:10:52.360
I'm going to turn the tables on
you kidnappers. I'm not going to

158
00:10:52.399 --> 00:10:56.960
give the ransom to you. I'm
going to put a price on your head.

159
00:10:58.080 --> 00:11:01.679
So if people come and kill you, I will give them the million

160
00:11:01.720 --> 00:11:03.600
dollars. And he's like, bring
me back my family was one of the

161
00:11:03.600 --> 00:11:07.000
taglines. Does that ring a bell
at all? It doesn't. No talk

162
00:11:07.000 --> 00:11:09.200
for a second, Jenny, because
I get some water. I just looked

163
00:11:09.200 --> 00:11:13.679
at the on the line. It
did come out in twenty twenty two,

164
00:11:13.759 --> 00:11:18.159
so that's like almost two years old
at this point. But it's still new

165
00:11:18.200 --> 00:11:20.039
to Netflix, I think, And
so that's probably why it's been getting pushed

166
00:11:20.039 --> 00:11:26.120
because I saw it on my recommended
or pot list or whatever top movies right

167
00:11:26.159 --> 00:11:31.399
now. I saw that this weekend
on Netflix. Okay, God, Okay,

168
00:11:31.440 --> 00:11:33.399
I'm going to stop and get some
water and I'll be right back and

169
00:11:33.440 --> 00:11:37.039
you won't even notice I'm gone.
Okay, just went to the kitchen,

170
00:11:37.120 --> 00:11:41.000
got some water. We'll see how
this goes. There is a Mel Gibson

171
00:11:41.039 --> 00:11:48.399
movie nineteen ninety six called Ransom Okay, and basically it says his son is

172
00:11:48.519 --> 00:11:52.120
kidnapped. Initially, he agrees to
pay the ransom, but then decides to

173
00:11:52.200 --> 00:11:58.000
use the ransom money as bounty instead. It is an intense action crime thriller

174
00:11:58.039 --> 00:12:03.240
that keeps you on the edge of
your seat. I saw this movie.

175
00:12:03.279 --> 00:12:05.919
It was a dog Oh yeah,
because the whole plot. It was one

176
00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:11.120
of those movies where the whole plot
was given away in the trailer. Oh,

177
00:12:11.559 --> 00:12:18.919
there was nothing more that was interesting
except they kidnap his son. He

178
00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:20.600
agrees to pay the million dollar ransom. Then he's like, fuck it,

179
00:12:20.960 --> 00:12:24.720
I'm going to turn this into a
bounty on the kidnappers. So they're coming

180
00:12:24.759 --> 00:12:28.799
after you now, so then the
kidnappers. It sounds like a thrilling idea,

181
00:12:28.840 --> 00:12:31.600
but it just kind of fell flat
after that. And the best part

182
00:12:31.639 --> 00:12:33.080
of the movie was in the trailer. I was just going to say you

183
00:12:33.159 --> 00:12:37.200
even saying that, of what the
trailer was, I feel like I understood

184
00:12:37.200 --> 00:12:39.519
what was going to happen in the
movie and I haven't seen it. Yeah,

185
00:12:39.600 --> 00:12:45.159
it was just so it's interesting that
twenty five years later there's a movie

186
00:12:45.159 --> 00:12:50.679
called On the Line where mel Gibson
is playing a DJ. It's so funny

187
00:12:50.720 --> 00:12:58.480
because mel Gibson playing a DJ.
Mel Gibson's prob bubbly seventy two years old.

188
00:13:00.000 --> 00:13:01.919
Think so how old is Mel Gibson. Well, I like can lunk

189
00:13:01.919 --> 00:13:09.200
real quick, but I guess I
didn't know he is sixty eight years old.

190
00:13:09.320 --> 00:13:11.440
Okay, Yeah, he's not as
old as I thought he was.

191
00:13:11.879 --> 00:13:16.600
Mel Gibson was such a hunk back
in the day. Go back and look

192
00:13:16.600 --> 00:13:22.440
at mel Gibson. Like nineteen seventy
nine, he was in a movie called

193
00:13:22.480 --> 00:13:26.840
The Road Warrior, which is one
of my favorite movies of all time,

194
00:13:26.200 --> 00:13:33.080
The Road Warrior. He was so
hot. But what's funny is his Australian

195
00:13:33.120 --> 00:13:37.840
accent was so thick in the original
Road Warrior in nineteen seventy nine or so,

196
00:13:37.200 --> 00:13:41.480
they had to overdub it with another
actor because mel Gibson's accent was so

197
00:13:41.679 --> 00:13:46.720
thick. Oh yeah, I'm liking
these pictures I'm seeing of him in like

198
00:13:46.879 --> 00:13:50.720
all leather. Mm hmmmm. I
still think he's actually quite attractive for sixty

199
00:13:50.759 --> 00:13:54.559
eight years old. Yeah, he's
not particularly well thought of because he had

200
00:13:54.600 --> 00:14:00.159
some like racial and sexist outbursts recently, so he's not really looked at with

201
00:14:00.240 --> 00:14:03.840
the same reverence that he was.
Yeah back in the day. Let's see

202
00:14:03.879 --> 00:14:09.360
here. This is from Amber.
She says, I've been catching up on

203
00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:13.679
the Minnesota Goodbye. One of my
favorite episodes had a listener sin in the

204
00:14:13.720 --> 00:14:18.559
phrase I don't give a dart's lick. I'm not sure I could work that

205
00:14:18.639 --> 00:14:22.039
into one normal conversation, but it
made me laugh. We recently had a

206
00:14:22.080 --> 00:14:28.120
handyman finishing odd jobs around the house. He usually deals with my husband,

207
00:14:28.399 --> 00:14:31.080
but one night he came by my
husband was at work to pick up a

208
00:14:31.159 --> 00:14:33.320
check and finish up something. My
four year old son, who is currently

209
00:14:33.360 --> 00:14:39.480
obsessed with superheroes, put on his
superhero gear and sat at the top of

210
00:14:39.519 --> 00:14:41.840
the stairs to keep an eye on
him while he worked. Later that night,

211
00:14:41.919 --> 00:14:45.440
I was reading to my son before
bed, and my husband came home

212
00:14:45.440 --> 00:14:48.879
from work and came into his room
to finish reading with us. I told

213
00:14:48.879 --> 00:14:52.519
my husband our son is being a
hero and protecting me and his baby brother.

214
00:14:52.559 --> 00:14:56.799
While the handyman worked in perfect dead
pan voice, my son said,

215
00:14:56.240 --> 00:15:01.759
yeah, I was watching him.
He was fucking weird. What My husband

216
00:15:01.759 --> 00:15:05.120
and I were in shock and had
to correct him while not bursting into hysterical

217
00:15:05.200 --> 00:15:11.320
laughter. What is something surprising or
crazy? Your kids said as a child,

218
00:15:11.600 --> 00:15:13.399
I would love a staff writer sticker. My address is below. I

219
00:15:13.440 --> 00:15:18.240
don't give a dart's lick while diddling
the bean. That is Amber in Imburgrove

220
00:15:18.279 --> 00:15:26.559
Heights. Picture taken Alison. We
went to Bear Country, USA. She's

221
00:15:26.600 --> 00:15:30.120
five years old. The bear squaded
in front of our car and Alison said,

222
00:15:30.159 --> 00:15:35.320
he's shitty and we laughed because it
was, like Alis said, but

223
00:15:35.360 --> 00:15:37.679
it was so unexpected. Yeah,
and her little five year old, innocent

224
00:15:37.759 --> 00:15:43.879
mind, that's what came to mind. Yeah. So Tim Burger writes in

225
00:15:43.639 --> 00:15:48.399
listening to Friday's Minnesota Goodbye about birthdays
and the person whose birthday is close to

226
00:15:48.440 --> 00:15:52.200
Thanksgiving. Not sure if it works
the same for adults, but this is

227
00:15:52.240 --> 00:15:56.279
what we do with my five year
old's birthday, November twenty eighth, which

228
00:15:56.320 --> 00:16:00.919
is either on or right around Thanksgiving. After two years of not a lot

229
00:16:00.919 --> 00:16:03.120
of people being able to make it
to his party, we started doing a

230
00:16:03.159 --> 00:16:07.879
half birthday party, so around the
middle of May, when it starts getting

231
00:16:07.919 --> 00:16:11.080
nice outside, we throw his party. Thin. This also works in the

232
00:16:11.120 --> 00:16:14.960
sense that, as somebody whose birthday
is also in November and could never have

233
00:16:15.000 --> 00:16:18.840
any type of party outside, you're
not relegated to doing something just indoors.

234
00:16:18.919 --> 00:16:22.480
Anyway. I know birthdays have been
overly mentioned, but I wanted to share

235
00:16:22.519 --> 00:16:26.320
that quickly. Thank you, Tim. That's one thing about having a birthday

236
00:16:26.360 --> 00:16:32.759
in Minnesota anytime between probably middle of
October, middle of May. You don't

237
00:16:32.759 --> 00:16:34.600
know what kind of weather you're gonna
get. Yeah, I'm May seventeenth.

238
00:16:34.639 --> 00:16:38.279
So like, I've had birthdays where
it's been gorgeous, and I've had birthdays

239
00:16:38.279 --> 00:16:44.279
where it's been just downpour rain the
whole time. I planned a huge party

240
00:16:44.320 --> 00:16:47.919
one year and it was supposed to
be mostly like outside, and I had

241
00:16:47.919 --> 00:16:51.679
to shove everyone into my small,
two bedroom apartment and we had like forty

242
00:16:51.679 --> 00:16:55.559
people there. So that was fine. Forty people, Yeah, and mostly

243
00:16:55.600 --> 00:17:02.000
like kickball friends. Okay, I
Yeah. Alison's birthday, who's always been

244
00:17:02.000 --> 00:17:06.559
indoors, used to be at kid
Quest. I used to remember all of

245
00:17:06.599 --> 00:17:11.799
Allison's birthday parties, and I don't
anymore. McDonald's kids Quest, my mom

246
00:17:11.799 --> 00:17:15.079
and Dad's house. She turned four, but they've all been indoors. Carson's

247
00:17:15.079 --> 00:17:19.079
birthday is April first. He used
to go to Skyzone. They had a

248
00:17:19.160 --> 00:17:26.559
karate birthday party at his karate studio
one time. I don't really remember.

249
00:17:26.839 --> 00:17:32.880
Yeah, Okay, next one,
Sonya writes in Movie Theater Etiquette, Dave

250
00:17:32.920 --> 00:17:36.079
Ryan Crewe wanted away in on the
movie theater etiquette issue that came up on

251
00:17:36.200 --> 00:17:41.240
yesterday's pod. I'm also a frequent
moviegoer and experience issues with other patrons.

252
00:17:41.839 --> 00:17:45.640
I think teenagers are often given a
bad rap, but I experienced problems with

253
00:17:45.720 --> 00:17:52.759
the fifty five plus cruise just as
often as teenagers. They talk with a

254
00:17:52.839 --> 00:17:56.240
band in to their neighbors during the
movie at full volume. They pull out

255
00:17:56.279 --> 00:17:59.640
their phones on full brightness to read
text or look at Facebook. The actual

256
00:17:59.839 --> 00:18:03.119
turn on the flashlight on their phones
to find the change they drop on the

257
00:18:03.160 --> 00:18:07.480
floor. So often it's a fifty
five plus person or group that I find

258
00:18:07.480 --> 00:18:11.440
sitting in maya assigned seats. I
then politely and quietly explain that they are

259
00:18:11.480 --> 00:18:15.039
assigned seats and they need to move
to their own seats. They will respond

260
00:18:15.079 --> 00:18:19.319
rudely and loudly, making excuses,
and often not go before arguing for a

261
00:18:19.359 --> 00:18:23.680
while. That's just my two cents. If teenagers get demonized for their behavior,

262
00:18:23.960 --> 00:18:26.799
the same should happen to fifty five
plus ers. Keep up the great

263
00:18:26.839 --> 00:18:30.599
work and bring Bailey back as often
as you can. I love that girl,

264
00:18:30.720 --> 00:18:36.160
Sonya. I think that's really interesting
because I wouldn't have expected that,

265
00:18:36.519 --> 00:18:40.839
but I can definitely see some like
I don't know, stubborn, privileged,

266
00:18:41.319 --> 00:18:47.000
cranky ish fifty five year old plus
that are annoyed and annoying at the movie.

267
00:18:47.200 --> 00:18:49.680
Yeah, I don't like I said, I don't go to movies enough

268
00:18:49.720 --> 00:18:52.680
to be able to judge any kind
of age group. Oh that's right,

269
00:18:52.759 --> 00:18:57.480
Yeah you really don't. Okay,
let's move back up to this one.

270
00:18:57.839 --> 00:19:03.599
Hold on one second. No to
that one, and no to that one.

271
00:19:03.759 --> 00:19:08.559
Here's one from our friend Mike.
Okay, Minnesota, goodbye, a

272
00:19:08.759 --> 00:19:14.000
senior staff writer, BFF and buddy
of the show Mike. Here quick thoughts

273
00:19:14.079 --> 00:19:17.519
on paternity leave, because we had
somebody on the show today. Chase got

274
00:19:17.559 --> 00:19:21.400
six weeks paternity leave. Woman named
Don called at about eight o'clock this morning

275
00:19:21.799 --> 00:19:25.759
and said men should not get paternity
leave. Yeah, and basically said that

276
00:19:25.839 --> 00:19:27.799
they just go play golf, sleep
in, and they don't help at all,

277
00:19:29.079 --> 00:19:32.279
So it's kind of a waste of
time. Some quick thoughts. I

278
00:19:32.519 --> 00:19:36.160
didn't get it. Would have loved
to have had it. It's paternity leave,

279
00:19:36.319 --> 00:19:38.359
not a vacation. It should be
used to serve mom and baby,

280
00:19:40.039 --> 00:19:44.319
not sleeping in, golfing, playing
video games, etc. If permitted.

281
00:19:44.359 --> 00:19:47.920
The leave should be taking as the
mom would want, right after the baby's

282
00:19:47.960 --> 00:19:51.839
born, or when she's returning to
a routine, whatever she wants. Guys,

283
00:19:51.880 --> 00:19:55.359
if you're a slug, do better. If you're a servant leader,

284
00:19:55.519 --> 00:20:00.160
keep it up again. Thanks for
all you do and impacting so many All

285
00:20:00.279 --> 00:20:06.039
right, your buddy, Mike.
I don't understand. And Jenny and I

286
00:20:06.079 --> 00:20:08.720
were talking about this on the way
in today, bad parents, and we

287
00:20:08.799 --> 00:20:11.839
just can't. We were talking about
somebody who's got a bad dad, and

288
00:20:11.960 --> 00:20:18.279
I said, I just don't understand
why somebody it's so easy to be a

289
00:20:18.680 --> 00:20:22.119
good dad, or at least try
that. I don't know what I would

290
00:20:22.279 --> 00:20:26.759
have to do to be a bad
dad. I think one thing that I

291
00:20:26.799 --> 00:20:32.119
would give an exception for is if
you're broke, impoverished, and you're working

292
00:20:32.160 --> 00:20:37.559
all the time and you can't spend
time with your kids, then you don't

293
00:20:37.559 --> 00:20:41.359
get a pass. But it's more
understandable if you don't get to spend time

294
00:20:41.359 --> 00:20:45.039
with your kids and maybe you're like
always absent or always tired or whatever.

295
00:20:45.440 --> 00:20:48.480
But I've known so many people with
a bad mom or a dad, and

296
00:20:48.559 --> 00:20:52.359
I don't understand it because I've loved
my kids so much. It's been the

297
00:20:52.359 --> 00:20:56.279
best thing that I've experienced in my
life is being a dad, And so

298
00:20:56.359 --> 00:21:00.359
I don't know why people would want
to fuck that up. Yeah, I've

299
00:21:00.400 --> 00:21:03.799
got pretty great parents. They weren't
great together, they had a bad marriage,

300
00:21:03.839 --> 00:21:08.200
but they're great as parents. So
I've been pretty lucky in that aspect

301
00:21:08.200 --> 00:21:12.799
of things. But I do know
plenty of friends. It's wild to grow

302
00:21:12.920 --> 00:21:17.920
up and be very naive as a
child, thinking that everyone has good parents

303
00:21:17.960 --> 00:21:21.079
and they live in a great household
and stuff like that. And then you

304
00:21:21.119 --> 00:21:23.960
grow up and you realize what people
actually might have gone through or are going

305
00:21:23.960 --> 00:21:27.559
through with their relationships with their parents, and it makes me very sad for

306
00:21:27.599 --> 00:21:32.200
some people that I'm friends with that
have not great relationships with their parents.

307
00:21:32.240 --> 00:21:36.079
No, And I feel bad for
him because my mom and dad were wonderful

308
00:21:36.200 --> 00:21:40.839
and not perfect, but wonderful.
My memories of my childhood, the bad

309
00:21:40.880 --> 00:21:44.720
ones are mostly me fucking up and
getting in trouble, never my mom and

310
00:21:44.799 --> 00:21:48.920
dad, all right. Last one
from rain Hey Bestie's catching up on the

311
00:21:48.920 --> 00:21:53.440
podcast. When Bailey mentioned how nobody
came to her birthday party. As she

312
00:21:53.759 --> 00:21:57.920
said this, I was literally putting
up balloons for my son's birthday party in

313
00:21:57.960 --> 00:22:03.279
a couple of hours. This was
written on Friday. With the exception of

314
00:22:03.319 --> 00:22:10.880
my sister and sister in law,
everybody that was invited did not show up.

315
00:22:10.920 --> 00:22:15.640
They either ghosted or canceled that morning. So hearing Bailey talk about how

316
00:22:15.720 --> 00:22:19.440
sad she was made me even sadder
for my sweet little boy. He's only

317
00:22:19.480 --> 00:22:23.359
two, so he doesn't really understand, but my heart broke for him.

318
00:22:25.000 --> 00:22:27.200
I had gone all out for his
party. It was themed to look like

319
00:22:27.279 --> 00:22:32.880
Blues Clues. Threw up in my
house and stayed up until six thirty in

320
00:22:32.880 --> 00:22:37.079
the morning, making his birthday cake
to serve twenty four people, only to

321
00:22:37.160 --> 00:22:41.440
send most of it home with my
sister in law. And she put pictures

322
00:22:41.480 --> 00:22:45.839
of her adorable little boy, Oh
my God, and a little table that

323
00:22:45.920 --> 00:22:52.720
she set up with Blues Clues decorations
and cupcakes and cups and plates and napkins

324
00:22:52.119 --> 00:23:00.359
and a beautiful Blues Clues birthday cake. And he's two, so he doesn't

325
00:23:00.440 --> 00:23:03.799
understand it. I feel my heart
breaks more for mom. I'm going to

326
00:23:03.839 --> 00:23:08.880
get emotional because she expected a big
crowd of people to be there. Two

327
00:23:10.160 --> 00:23:14.960
people showed up. I was super
annoyed. I put so much effort at

328
00:23:15.000 --> 00:23:18.319
this party and made me want to
never go all out like that again.

329
00:23:18.799 --> 00:23:22.200
But watching my baby boy's eyes light
up, seeing his decorations, balloons,

330
00:23:22.200 --> 00:23:26.839
cake and presence just reminded me that
I will always go the extra mile and

331
00:23:26.920 --> 00:23:30.519
be on for my kids, even
if nobody else shows up. His mama

332
00:23:30.880 --> 00:23:36.240
will always be there. Photo a
party included, because I'm pretty impressed with

333
00:23:36.240 --> 00:23:41.480
it. All right, she signs
off, Rain, I'm going to spin

334
00:23:41.559 --> 00:23:45.319
the screen around the picture. I'm
going to spin the screen around. It's

335
00:23:45.400 --> 00:23:47.880
a little bit of a tight squeeze
to spin, and I usually end up

336
00:23:47.920 --> 00:23:52.200
unplugging the computer when I do it. Car, But the cake, I

337
00:23:52.200 --> 00:23:56.400
can see why it took you amazing. Oh well, he looks very cute

338
00:23:56.759 --> 00:24:00.799
and you did a great job.
But look at the table. This is

339
00:24:00.799 --> 00:24:03.920
what breaks my heart. The table
that she puts so much effort into,

340
00:24:03.279 --> 00:24:07.319
with all the decorations and the Blues
Clues flag and the banner and everything.

341
00:24:07.440 --> 00:24:11.839
Yeah, and you know what I'm
gonna do. I'm gonna come over there.

342
00:24:11.880 --> 00:24:14.079
I'm gonna get the list of all
the people who didn't come, and

343
00:24:14.079 --> 00:24:17.359
I'm gonna fuck them up. Now, I'm gonna find them and I'm gonna

344
00:24:17.359 --> 00:24:19.079
fuck them up. Now, most
of these might be the other two year

345
00:24:19.119 --> 00:24:22.720
olds. Oh, fuck them right
up, Jenny. Now I do that

346
00:24:22.839 --> 00:24:25.359
to make you laugh. Rain.
So when I say going to fuck up

347
00:24:25.359 --> 00:24:27.240
your guests that didn't show up,
I hope it made you laugh. But

348
00:24:27.319 --> 00:24:30.119
I do feel bad for you,
you know. I think one of the

349
00:24:30.160 --> 00:24:34.079
things is sometimes when we feel bad
for somebody like Rain, they don't feel

350
00:24:34.079 --> 00:24:37.720
that bad for themselves. Rain is
not sitting over there going oh poor me.

351
00:24:41.200 --> 00:24:45.480
But I feel bad for Okay,
enough and that is it for the

352
00:24:45.480 --> 00:24:48.039
Minnesota goodbye. Let's see how long
we went today, Jenny. We're gonna

353
00:24:48.039 --> 00:24:49.240
play how long did we go?
Lottery? How long did we go?

354
00:24:49.440 --> 00:24:55.960
Twenty four minutes? I have no
idea because the the reporter it stopped and

355
00:24:56.000 --> 00:24:59.359
then started again. But I'm gonna
guess probably close to twenty minutes or so.

356
00:24:59.359 --> 00:25:00.440
But I think at the end of
every podcast, I'm going to ask

357
00:25:00.480 --> 00:25:04.039
you how long you think we went? Ok So, Jenny says, twenty

358
00:25:04.039 --> 00:25:07.480
four minutes. I don't know because
our timer is off. That's it.

359
00:25:07.599 --> 00:25:14.240
Have a great day. Respond with
movie theater stories, birthday stories. Respond

360
00:25:14.279 --> 00:25:19.000
with something new you want to bring
up. Respond with what was the other

361
00:25:19.000 --> 00:25:26.079
one? Birthday parties and kids being
assholes, movie theaters, whatever you want

362
00:25:26.119 --> 00:25:30.200
