WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:02.240
We are a little light on emails
today's, but we're gonna get to some

2
00:00:02.319 --> 00:00:05.839
of a second. I found an
article that was really interesting because so many

3
00:00:05.879 --> 00:00:08.919
people It's coming up on wedding season, and there's so many people who are,

4
00:00:09.320 --> 00:00:14.320
you know, wrestling with everything from
guest lists to prices to finding a

5
00:00:14.359 --> 00:00:18.199
good venue an outdoor indoor and should
we do this and should we say no

6
00:00:18.359 --> 00:00:22.320
kids, no gifts or whatever.
So I found an article from the Atlantic.

7
00:00:22.760 --> 00:00:27.079
It's called the Wedding Trend that couples
love and guests hate, Okay,

8
00:00:27.239 --> 00:00:31.440
and I was like, oh,
that sounds really good. The headline is,

9
00:00:31.480 --> 00:00:37.359
why do newlyweds seem to think that
people want custom wedding merch taking up

10
00:00:37.359 --> 00:00:41.880
space in cabinets and drawers for years
to come? And the article goes on

11
00:00:42.799 --> 00:00:45.359
to talk about, you know,
like, okay, you go to a

12
00:00:45.399 --> 00:00:50.320
wedding and you get a jake and
fallon set of golf balls, or you

13
00:00:50.359 --> 00:00:55.240
get a jake and fallon deck of
playing cards, or you get a little

14
00:00:56.359 --> 00:01:00.520
a pair of shot glasses or a
wine glass that says jake and Fallon September

15
00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:04.040
third, twenty seventeen, I will
be honest, I don't see that stuff

16
00:01:04.079 --> 00:01:08.200
as often as I used to for
a while, probably like I don't know,

17
00:01:08.359 --> 00:01:12.079
seven or ten years ago, it
was cankouzies yea that they had.

18
00:01:12.319 --> 00:01:15.959
But I really don't see that many
because I think that it's the top spot

19
00:01:17.000 --> 00:01:22.719
couples have been cutting for their budget. I will tell you one thing that

20
00:01:22.760 --> 00:01:25.319
we did that gave everyone a souvenir
that they would actually baby. What is

21
00:01:25.319 --> 00:01:29.560
We had a caricature artist and it's
silly and funny. But then like everyone,

22
00:01:29.599 --> 00:01:30.359
we had something they could take home. It was just of them,

23
00:01:30.439 --> 00:01:34.560
you know. Yeah. They say
that basically, during peak wedding season,

24
00:01:34.599 --> 00:01:38.680
the junk drawer of somebody with a
large family or wide circle of friends might

25
00:01:38.799 --> 00:01:44.719
look like the inside of a swag
bag from a newly wed themed business conference.

26
00:01:44.760 --> 00:01:49.920
Sunglasses, coozies, matchbooks, bottle
openers, deck playing cards, anything

27
00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:55.400
that says like little slogan like two
of a kind or This is a woman

28
00:01:55.519 --> 00:01:59.599
named Jane Hendel. She's a wedding
planner in New York. She said the

29
00:01:59.599 --> 00:02:06.680
spoiler alert is no, guests do
not want them. This the author says,

30
00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:08.199
I asked her, I said,
I'm the only one that didn't want

31
00:02:08.439 --> 00:02:14.360
a single piece of glassware emblazon with
somebody else's wedding date. She says,

32
00:02:14.759 --> 00:02:17.599
instead of giving somebody a golf ballan
a golf ball you would actually use,

33
00:02:17.639 --> 00:02:20.680
and if you lose a big deal, it's not going to sit a junk

34
00:02:20.719 --> 00:02:23.479
drawer. But then again, not
everybody plays golf. But a deck of

35
00:02:23.520 --> 00:02:25.280
cards. You know what if I
get a deck of cards that says Fallon

36
00:02:25.319 --> 00:02:29.520
and Jake on it, I already
got seventeen deck of cards. It's going

37
00:02:29.560 --> 00:02:32.120
to go into my junk drawer,
and then one day in five years,

38
00:02:32.120 --> 00:02:35.360
when i'm cleaning it out, I'm
gonna throw it away. So they said,

39
00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:38.199
don't nobody needs another water bottle.
You don't need a Fallon and Jake

40
00:02:38.240 --> 00:02:44.759
water bottle. But she said something
consumable, So let's read on and find

41
00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:47.319
out what she means by something consumable. And of course it is one of

42
00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:53.360
those paywalls, so I'm not really
sure what that means. Maybe like Eminem's,

43
00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:54.719
like you know how that people about
Aaron initial about Eminem's there, like

44
00:02:54.879 --> 00:02:59.560
a little truffle, candies, cookies, maybe stuff like that. It's probably

45
00:02:59.560 --> 00:03:02.439
what they're talking of. It's if
it's consumable. Okay, I don't know

46
00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:06.960
yeah, so, um, whatever
that means. But I think it's good

47
00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:08.599
news or good advice for anybody who's
getting married this summer and they're like,

48
00:03:08.680 --> 00:03:13.439
oh, well, where can we
cut corners? We don't need a candle

49
00:03:13.560 --> 00:03:17.680
that says Gretchen and Roberts on it, because you know, I mean,

50
00:03:19.439 --> 00:03:22.120
maybe give it to the people that
are your closest to, Like your mom

51
00:03:22.199 --> 00:03:27.039
would love a little wine glass that
says Alison and Justin on it, one

52
00:03:27.080 --> 00:03:29.080
that had our names on it,
Like I love my sister very much,

53
00:03:29.080 --> 00:03:30.400
but she got Jake and I like
wine glasses with our names. I don't.

54
00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:32.960
I'm like, I don't. I
never pull those out. I just

55
00:03:34.039 --> 00:03:37.800
pull the regular wine glasses out.
Yeah. I thought it was interesting.

56
00:03:37.879 --> 00:03:40.879
So, um, just because it's
wedding season, love to hear your thoughts

57
00:03:40.919 --> 00:03:45.960
on that. Maybe you're wrong and
maybe you really would love a wine glass

58
00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:51.120
that says Jake and fallon on it. You can have mine, hey U.

59
00:03:52.280 --> 00:03:54.319
My brother in law and they were
just all in Mexico for a destination

60
00:03:54.400 --> 00:03:58.240
wedding. It was one of those
destination weddings were actually like everyone goes,

61
00:03:58.639 --> 00:04:01.240
so it was like a hundred something
people and I was like that always seemed

62
00:04:01.280 --> 00:04:05.319
like kind of cool and kind of
just so much more exhausting. What a

63
00:04:05.439 --> 00:04:08.919
destination wedding because you do it.
I think a lot of people do it

64
00:04:08.960 --> 00:04:11.520
because they don't want to deal with
all the stress of a regular wedding,

65
00:04:12.319 --> 00:04:15.719
and also they know a ton of
people won't go because it's expensive. But

66
00:04:15.840 --> 00:04:17.759
then I think that the people I
do go, you almost have to entertain

67
00:04:17.800 --> 00:04:20.600
them for like a full week,
and that sounds exhausting too. Well,

68
00:04:20.639 --> 00:04:24.000
I think it is. I've never
been to a destination wedding, although I've

69
00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:26.199
been invited to one before, but
it was like, yeah, I don't

70
00:04:26.240 --> 00:04:29.040
know you that well. I mean, and I think that their line was,

71
00:04:29.120 --> 00:04:30.639
you know what, you go to
the wedding, You're on your own

72
00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:31.680
the rest of the week to do
whatever. And it's like, well,

73
00:04:31.959 --> 00:04:35.959
I mean, thanks for choosing my
vacation destination for me. I appreciate that

74
00:04:38.120 --> 00:04:40.839
we do have on like a little
call or tomorrow. I'm not going to

75
00:04:40.879 --> 00:04:42.600
be here tomorrow, but I think
we're gonna talk and I'll give you a

76
00:04:42.680 --> 00:04:48.439
preview about Memorial Day and three day
week end weddings. And I haven't read

77
00:04:48.480 --> 00:04:51.439
it because I didn't want to,
you know, whatever, I've read through

78
00:04:51.480 --> 00:04:54.160
it a little bit, and then
Folan said, we're gonna read it on

79
00:04:54.160 --> 00:04:57.560
the radio tomorrow. But it was
something along the lines of it is on

80
00:04:57.639 --> 00:05:01.160
a three day weekend that happens to
be my son's first birthday. I want

81
00:05:01.199 --> 00:05:03.319
to go to the wedding because it's
my friend and I love her and I

82
00:05:03.399 --> 00:05:06.839
want to be there for her,
but I don't want on a three day

83
00:05:06.879 --> 00:05:11.959
weekend when normally we could go to
you name it for my son's birthday.

84
00:05:12.680 --> 00:05:16.040
I've pretty much got to stay in
town for the wedding. I think I

85
00:05:16.120 --> 00:05:18.279
think it was more than that.
I think she had to travel out of

86
00:05:18.319 --> 00:05:21.199
town for the wedding, so it
was an extra expense on top of like

87
00:05:21.879 --> 00:05:26.040
not being there that weekend and all
these It was a bunch of stuff out

88
00:05:26.079 --> 00:05:29.319
it on. Yeah, we'll cover
that tomorrow. Like I said, I'm

89
00:05:29.360 --> 00:05:31.399
not here, but you can listen
to that tomorrow on the actual show.

90
00:05:32.600 --> 00:05:38.319
I know we've touched on it before, but I'm at an age where,

91
00:05:39.199 --> 00:05:42.240
you know, my friends aren't getting
married, and if they do get remarried,

92
00:05:42.319 --> 00:05:45.279
they usually go to Las Vegas,
or they haven't done like in their

93
00:05:45.319 --> 00:05:49.160
backyard or something like that. But
I still think that it is rude to

94
00:05:49.399 --> 00:05:54.240
have it's little selfish and inconsiderate to
have your wedding on a three day weekend,

95
00:05:54.639 --> 00:05:58.199
and especially if there's travel involved,
because now there we don't have a

96
00:05:58.279 --> 00:06:02.360
lot of summer weekends in Minnesota.
We've only got three three day summer weekends

97
00:06:02.399 --> 00:06:05.800
in Minnesota, and usually it rains
on Memorial Day. It almost like clockwork,

98
00:06:05.959 --> 00:06:10.720
rains on Memorial Day. So if
you were going to have a wedding

99
00:06:11.040 --> 00:06:13.680
on one of the rare to three
day weekends in the summer in Minnesota,

100
00:06:14.040 --> 00:06:17.120
you're taking away people's opportunity to go
do something they want to do because they

101
00:06:17.240 --> 00:06:19.240
want to be at your wedding.
They do, but they don't want to

102
00:06:19.240 --> 00:06:23.000
do it on a three day weekend. But people will say, you know

103
00:06:23.079 --> 00:06:26.199
what, node because now it becomes
your vacation. You can come to treat

104
00:06:26.199 --> 00:06:28.519
yourself. We're gonna go get married
and but Midgee is going to be great

105
00:06:28.519 --> 00:06:30.839
to get a little hotel room and
go fishing. And it's like, nah,

106
00:06:31.240 --> 00:06:33.319
like I said, not a big
problem to me. I don't get

107
00:06:33.360 --> 00:06:39.160
invited to a lot of weddings anymore. But I think that there are people

108
00:06:39.160 --> 00:06:43.160
who will defend it and people will
think it's rude. The one holiday wedding

109
00:06:43.319 --> 00:06:47.199
I always support is a New Year's
Eve wedding because I think that's so fun.

110
00:06:47.720 --> 00:06:50.079
It actually gives you a reason to
do something on New Year's Eve,

111
00:06:50.079 --> 00:06:53.240
because if you're like me, you
spend a lot of them on your couch

112
00:06:53.560 --> 00:06:56.439
and you don't want to go to
a busy club or bar and wait in

113
00:06:56.480 --> 00:06:59.079
line for drinks. So it's like
gives you a reason to dress up.

114
00:06:59.560 --> 00:07:01.759
You have like easy access to a
bar. My friend Kimberly got married Unto

115
00:07:01.800 --> 00:07:04.600
Year's Eve and I loved it.
Now, granted you don't want to spend

116
00:07:04.639 --> 00:07:08.319
your it's just like a destination wedding. You could be like, I'm not

117
00:07:08.399 --> 00:07:10.680
that close that I want to spend
New Year's Eve with these people and their

118
00:07:10.720 --> 00:07:13.240
family. But you make that decision, you know. But I think that's

119
00:07:13.279 --> 00:07:16.560
like the one holiday one that I
support and get behind. I can see

120
00:07:16.639 --> 00:07:19.120
that, Yeah, it is fun
to because you know, you get to

121
00:07:19.160 --> 00:07:21.519
a certain point in your life and
you're either going to go out. And

122
00:07:21.680 --> 00:07:27.800
we used to do the New Year's
Eve at International Market Square back when I

123
00:07:27.879 --> 00:07:30.040
first started here. It was so
much fun and you'd go have dinner first

124
00:07:30.120 --> 00:07:33.279
with a group of people. Then
you go to International Market Square and it

125
00:07:33.439 --> 00:07:36.920
was just fun and there was bands
and costume contests or I don't know,

126
00:07:38.040 --> 00:07:40.279
maybe not costume, maybe that was
Halloween. It was something else. But

127
00:07:40.360 --> 00:07:42.040
it was a lot of fun.
But then you get a little bit older

128
00:07:42.040 --> 00:07:46.399
and you're like, ah, you
know, I stay home and watch Ryan

129
00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:49.959
Seacrest. And we did go out
a few years ago on New Year's even

130
00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:53.480
really enjoyed it. We went to
Inky Brewing and they had a comedy night,

131
00:07:54.079 --> 00:07:59.199
so they had a buffet and they
had comedians, and the comedian that

132
00:07:59.319 --> 00:08:01.639
they flew in was really good.
Because you know, you go to a

133
00:08:01.720 --> 00:08:07.800
place that doesn't normally host comedy nights, you're kind of gambling a little bit.

134
00:08:07.879 --> 00:08:11.759
But they hired somebody who was really
good. The food was good and

135
00:08:11.839 --> 00:08:16.399
food was great, so it was
a fun night and at midnight we did

136
00:08:16.439 --> 00:08:22.560
our toast and like sea failed.
Yeah. Absolutely. Next email says Hi,

137
00:08:22.759 --> 00:08:24.040
I work at a Minnesota state park. I've been listening for the last

138
00:08:24.120 --> 00:08:28.199
thirteen and fourteen years. I love
you all. Today five ten, that's

139
00:08:28.279 --> 00:08:33.279
yesterday, Wednesday. At the park
I work at. We were doing a

140
00:08:33.360 --> 00:08:37.000
prescribed burn, says Sonja. We
had a call over the radio from an

141
00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:43.039
inexperienced firefighter asking if a plane flying
over our burn area was a concern.

142
00:08:43.480 --> 00:08:48.399
Our burn boss said no, unless
it was coming down fast. Well,

143
00:08:48.519 --> 00:08:50.960
we saw it dip down to about
two hundred feet right through our burn cloud.

144
00:08:52.519 --> 00:08:56.240
We all held our breath. This
was low. We were about to

145
00:08:56.360 --> 00:08:58.879
end our burn and the plane almost
plane almost started Another one, soda.

146
00:09:00.320 --> 00:09:03.519
You're a pilot, how do you
handle burning season in recreational flying? And

147
00:09:03.639 --> 00:09:07.960
also do you ever fly with the
Saint Croix River? I'll answer the second

148
00:09:07.039 --> 00:09:09.720
question first. Yeah, I fly
with the Saint Croix River a lot,

149
00:09:11.919 --> 00:09:16.360
because it's beautiful, and you know, it's more beautiful on the Wisconsin side

150
00:09:16.799 --> 00:09:20.639
of my airport than it is on
the Minnesota side. I fly out a

151
00:09:20.679 --> 00:09:24.039
flying cloud. If I fly west, it's farm fields. If I fly

152
00:09:24.240 --> 00:09:30.240
east over Wisconsin, it's the Saint
Croix River and it's that beautiful Newish river

153
00:09:30.399 --> 00:09:33.840
bridge. And so yeah, I
do a lot. Actually, so yes,

154
00:09:33.919 --> 00:09:37.679
I do. The other one,
how do you handle burning season in

155
00:09:37.759 --> 00:09:39.639
recreational flying? I don't go anywhere
near a burn cloud. I don't.

156
00:09:39.720 --> 00:09:41.440
I think I saw one yesterday.
And as a matter of fact, I

157
00:09:41.480 --> 00:09:46.600
think I might have saw your burn
cloud the other day. They're doing a

158
00:09:46.679 --> 00:09:50.639
controlled prescribe burn and there was something
going on west, like west out somewhere.

159
00:09:52.320 --> 00:09:54.919
I couldn't even tell you, Glencoe
Ish, I'm not even sure.

160
00:09:54.519 --> 00:09:58.279
I wouldn't go anywhere near it.
Number one, I'm not allowed to fly

161
00:09:58.519 --> 00:10:01.159
in any clouds. Number two,
any pilot that's dipping down to two hundred

162
00:10:01.200 --> 00:10:07.279
feet is dangerous. You're not supposed
to do that for several reasons, because

163
00:10:07.320 --> 00:10:11.399
if your engine goes out at two
hundred feet, you're going down right there.

164
00:10:11.519 --> 00:10:13.159
If your engine goes out at five
thousand feet, you've got a lot

165
00:10:13.200 --> 00:10:16.080
of choices to glide to. So
that's pilot was a dumb ass. You

166
00:10:16.120 --> 00:10:20.039
should have been in your burn cloud. They probably were just showing off for

167
00:10:20.120 --> 00:10:24.480
their dopey buddy, so intry.
We'll never have that question again. Yeah,

168
00:10:24.559 --> 00:10:28.679
probably never. We'll bring that up
again. Let's see if there's were,

169
00:10:28.759 --> 00:10:33.720
like I said, a little bit
low on Minnesota goodbye, But let's

170
00:10:33.720 --> 00:10:37.720
try this one. I've been listened
for a long time, first time emailer

171
00:10:37.720 --> 00:10:41.440
ever since I graduated college a year
ago and worked full time, I've been

172
00:10:41.440 --> 00:10:43.240
listening you guys during the day and
it passes the time so much faster.

173
00:10:45.639 --> 00:10:48.679
Keep this short. I had to
email. When you read the email about

174
00:10:48.720 --> 00:10:52.759
Deputy Alex and the c AT team
more specifically, each day is a different

175
00:10:52.919 --> 00:10:56.759
theme and it gets a little bit
into things that you Basically, it's an

176
00:10:56.759 --> 00:11:03.320
appreciation from Kevin from Woodberry Forum for
People of Law Enforcement, and he put

177
00:11:03.399 --> 00:11:07.840
some photos in there, and and
then there's a picture of me with Kevin

178
00:11:07.919 --> 00:11:11.960
when he was about fifteen ish years
old. And I can tell it's old

179
00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:16.840
because I'm wearing my Harley Davidson watch
which I got from my birthday ten years

180
00:11:16.879 --> 00:11:18.399
ago and I haven't worn that in
years. And just see that, is

181
00:11:18.440 --> 00:11:22.159
that your butt right there? But
um, I haven't warned that watching years

182
00:11:22.159 --> 00:11:24.679
because I have an Apple watch and
now I got a Harley Davidson watch that

183
00:11:24.759 --> 00:11:28.759
I don't want to give away because
it was a birthday present, but I

184
00:11:28.000 --> 00:11:33.200
never wear it anymore. You want
it, Harley Davison watch, I'll take

185
00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:37.720
anything, Okay, cool? Hey, I honestly, like I said,

186
00:11:37.759 --> 00:11:41.960
it's kind of like you can come
over and go through my garage. He'd

187
00:11:41.960 --> 00:11:45.799
be like a hog in heaven.
Can I tell you some things that I

188
00:11:45.879 --> 00:11:48.440
don't want to give away Carson's skateboard. I don't want to give away I

189
00:11:48.559 --> 00:11:52.080
keep hoping that Carson will look at
his stuff and go, oh, I

190
00:11:52.200 --> 00:11:54.679
want that, or I want that, or I want that. But I

191
00:11:54.799 --> 00:11:58.039
think that a lot of kids they
just abandoned their ship at their parents home

192
00:11:58.399 --> 00:12:01.840
and they never wanted again. I
am. I have like a ton of

193
00:12:01.879 --> 00:12:03.960
stuff like my dad's that I honestly
will probably never get. Like, what

194
00:12:05.120 --> 00:12:07.600
do you have any idea? Yes, all Star Wars collectible still in the

195
00:12:07.639 --> 00:12:09.600
packaging. What they could be Star
Wars collectible still in the packaging. They

196
00:12:09.600 --> 00:12:13.240
could be worth a ton of money
for all I know, all prom stuff,

197
00:12:13.480 --> 00:12:16.360
it all stinks now, like cigarette
smoke and everything. He hasn't smoked

198
00:12:16.480 --> 00:12:18.799
ears, He hasn't smoked in ears, but it'll still smell like that,

199
00:12:18.879 --> 00:12:22.320
and like his gross basement. But
it's honestly probably flooded down there for all

200
00:12:22.320 --> 00:12:24.320
I know and ruined everything. But
let's hope so then you can throw it

201
00:12:24.320 --> 00:12:28.519
away easily, don't have to worry
about it. Alison left her closet,

202
00:12:28.600 --> 00:12:31.879
She had a walk in closet,
left a lot of stuff, like I

203
00:12:33.000 --> 00:12:37.879
don't know, her piggy bank and
some of her music boxes when she was

204
00:12:37.879 --> 00:12:41.840
a little girl that you don't want
to throw away, her graduation cap and

205
00:12:41.960 --> 00:12:48.679
gown from college. I think some
other things in there. Her rock collection.

206
00:12:48.879 --> 00:12:52.679
She used to collect rocks when she
was little, just some other things.

207
00:12:52.759 --> 00:12:54.559
It's like, I hope she comes
and gets them, because I don't

208
00:12:54.559 --> 00:12:58.480
want to throw out her rock collection. But I don't want her rock collection

209
00:12:58.519 --> 00:13:00.600
either. Now. I mean,
you can't keep everything thing that your kids

210
00:13:01.840 --> 00:13:03.240
to toss it or key but that's
what my mom does you want this?

211
00:13:03.440 --> 00:13:07.679
Nope to Well, Well, little
Ava, who was two and a half

212
00:13:07.759 --> 00:13:11.039
years old, was over a couple
of weeks ago, and we've been Alison

213
00:13:11.120 --> 00:13:15.799
has a shelf in her old bedroom, a bookshelf full of little chotchkey nick

214
00:13:15.879 --> 00:13:20.279
knaki kind of things like, um, what was the ones? It was?

215
00:13:20.399 --> 00:13:22.360
The birthday train? Precious precious moments? Is that what it is?

216
00:13:22.399 --> 00:13:26.159
Precious moments? I think like little
ceramic like little babies and things like that.

217
00:13:26.679 --> 00:13:31.639
And she has little music boxes and
she used to love collecting those Russian

218
00:13:31.759 --> 00:13:35.840
nesting dolls where you open one and
it's got another doll inside, and you

219
00:13:35.960 --> 00:13:39.360
open it up and it's got like
five dolls inside. Whatever and she loved

220
00:13:39.440 --> 00:13:41.600
those. And we've been saying,
Alison, you got to take some of

221
00:13:41.639 --> 00:13:43.960
this home. You gotta take some
of this home. So I took Ava

222
00:13:43.720 --> 00:13:50.480
up in her room the other day
and Ava was fascinated by the little Russian

223
00:13:50.559 --> 00:13:52.639
nesting dolls. I said, great, we're gonna put them in a zip

224
00:13:52.720 --> 00:13:56.919
lock and you're gonna take them home. Yep. Ava opened them all up

225
00:13:56.960 --> 00:14:00.519
and got them all mixed up,
so I couldn't feel, You're out which

226
00:14:00.519 --> 00:14:03.480
ones. It was like putting together
a puzzle, figuring out which ones.

227
00:14:03.759 --> 00:14:07.759
Anyway, if any of what we
talked about on the show today gave you

228
00:14:07.840 --> 00:14:11.639
an id in inspiration to write in
for the Minnesota Goodbye, we'd love to

229
00:14:11.679 --> 00:14:16.840
hear from you. The address is
Ryan Show at KDWB dot com. And

230
00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:18.679
