00:00:00.400 --> 00:00:03.560
A lot of action on the Minnesota
Goodbye and let's get starting. If you

2
00:00:03.640 --> 00:00:08.359
have a shout out to Sarah.
Sarah wrote a very very long email that

3
00:00:08.400 --> 00:00:11.519
I'm going to respond to in person, but basically it was all about current

4
00:00:11.560 --> 00:00:17.800
thoughts and theories on every person on
KATIEWB. And she didn't ask. She

5
00:00:18.280 --> 00:00:21.559
says, here is what I think
is going to happen on the morning show.

6
00:00:21.960 --> 00:00:24.679
Here is what I think happened with
Drake, Here is what I think

7
00:00:24.719 --> 00:00:28.199
happened with this, Here is what
I think happened with the afternoon show.

8
00:00:28.640 --> 00:00:35.880
And it's really interesting that there's Taylor
Swift commentaries and theories and conspiracies, but

9
00:00:36.159 --> 00:00:39.079
then there's a bunch about us.
And I will tell you this one,

10
00:00:39.119 --> 00:00:41.920
Sarah. You got a lot of
it right, but you got some of

11
00:00:41.960 --> 00:00:46.560
it completely wrong. And I think
the interesting thing is you were very,

12
00:00:46.719 --> 00:00:49.799
very observant, and that's really flattering. It's kind of like really being into

13
00:00:49.799 --> 00:00:54.960
the Twins and knowing everybody's you know
er and knowing everybody's like whatever and average,

14
00:00:54.960 --> 00:00:58.320
and and I think that's really flattering. But I will say, at

15
00:00:58.359 --> 00:01:03.399
the same time, I can never
verify some of what you're asking. Yeah,

16
00:01:03.439 --> 00:01:06.480
but thank you for making a big
deep dive Sarah that we're gonna move

17
00:01:06.519 --> 00:01:11.959
on to other things, Let's start
off with this one. Hey, guys,

18
00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:15.560
Melissa here, thanks for reading my
email yesterday. We talked about how

19
00:01:15.599 --> 00:01:18.760
she listens in Boston, and I'm
like, Melissa, write me back and

20
00:01:18.840 --> 00:01:22.400
let me know why it is you
listen to our show when there are so

21
00:01:22.439 --> 00:01:26.359
many big market radio shows in Boston
and New York and Baltimore. You asked

22
00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:33.079
why your show instead of any Boston
shows around here? And honestly, I

23
00:01:33.120 --> 00:01:37.480
think because it's not over the top. You guys talk about your lives and

24
00:01:37.560 --> 00:01:42.280
the show is funny but not obnoxious. Not to throw shade at any other

25
00:01:42.359 --> 00:01:46.280
radio stations. But when I found
iHeartRadio twelve years ago, I listened to

26
00:01:46.599 --> 00:01:49.400
a couple of shows that I won't
name, she names them. They're big,

27
00:01:49.480 --> 00:01:53.480
huge shows, and I just found
it tacky. Your bits and segments

28
00:01:53.519 --> 00:01:57.319
have a nice flow, It's easy
to listen to, and you just keep

29
00:01:57.359 --> 00:02:00.879
it light. Most importantly, you
make it feel like a family or old

30
00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:07.079
friends. I think that's true.
Well, and I think that's what we

31
00:02:07.200 --> 00:02:09.319
kind of aim for, right Like
we don't very deliberately. Yeah, I

32
00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:13.879
mean sometimes crazy shit happens in our
lives. So we might be over the

33
00:02:13.919 --> 00:02:16.319
top about something and exaggerate things,
but for the most part, like we're

34
00:02:16.400 --> 00:02:20.199
very real about the stuff that goes
on. And then I mean, we

35
00:02:20.280 --> 00:02:23.199
never know what might happen with someone
who emails us in about a crazy story

36
00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:24.439
that happened to them, Like that
could be over the top of it,

37
00:02:24.520 --> 00:02:29.479
but it's not. It's like their
real life. Yeah, So I really,

38
00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:31.159
I really appreciate that, and I
think it is deliberate and I think

39
00:02:31.159 --> 00:02:36.759
that I've like helped realize what you
know, our show used to be silly

40
00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:38.560
and obnoxious. We do a lot
of silly, obnoxious things and whatever,

41
00:02:38.759 --> 00:02:43.000
and now it's more about real life. But we try to make the a

42
00:02:43.039 --> 00:02:46.680
real life story is not always entertaining. The thing about real life is a

43
00:02:46.719 --> 00:02:50.080
lot of the time it's mundane,
boring, groundhog day. You get up,

44
00:02:50.120 --> 00:02:52.240
you go to work, you come
home, you have dinner, you

45
00:02:52.280 --> 00:02:54.240
take your kid down to the park, you come home, you watch TV,

46
00:02:54.319 --> 00:03:00.080
and you start all over again the
next day. But I think we

47
00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:06.360
work in the stuff, for example, Jenny's skintag, which is not uncommon,

48
00:03:06.439 --> 00:03:09.599
but it's just like real side note, I can name about as many

49
00:03:09.680 --> 00:03:14.120
Minnesota towns as I can name Massachusetts, which is a weird flex, but

50
00:03:14.199 --> 00:03:15.840
I love it. Okay, my
brother and I are hopefully going to be

51
00:03:15.879 --> 00:03:19.840
planning a trip to the State Fair
this year, and I'm way too excited.

52
00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:23.759
Feel free to share the best places
to stay for lower costs. Dart

53
00:03:23.800 --> 00:03:27.639
Lick, dart Lick. Melissa,
who I don't think has ever been in

54
00:03:27.680 --> 00:03:30.680
Minnesota. I fucking love that.
That is so cool. You're not the

55
00:03:30.759 --> 00:03:37.159
first person. There's Jennifer in Texas. There was one Jill in New Jersey

56
00:03:37.159 --> 00:03:39.240
who had never been here. About
twelve years ago. She came out here

57
00:03:39.680 --> 00:03:44.680
and she listened to our show over
all the shows in New Jersey and New

58
00:03:44.759 --> 00:03:47.120
York, and she preferred our show. She came out. We took her

59
00:03:47.120 --> 00:03:51.919
on Booty Cruise, We took her
to get a juicy Lucy. We took

60
00:03:51.960 --> 00:03:55.240
her to Nick Universe. And then
there's David and his wife Lisa. They

61
00:03:55.280 --> 00:04:00.879
live in Detroit. Yeah, they
came here just to say and meet us

62
00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:03.159
and go to the State Fair.
And there's been other ones too. Catherine,

63
00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:06.879
I want to say, she lives
in Atlanta. She remember everyone's names.

64
00:04:06.919 --> 00:04:10.759
There was one woman then maybe you
already named her. Maybe that was

65
00:04:10.800 --> 00:04:13.039
her. She came to Star Party, she came to start. Okay,

66
00:04:13.199 --> 00:04:15.639
that was gonna say, because I
remember a woman from Atlanta coming to Star

67
00:04:15.680 --> 00:04:17.680
Party, but I couldn't remember her
name versus she was so nice and I

68
00:04:17.720 --> 00:04:20.360
just loved it. So yeah,
come out, Melissa, bring your husband

69
00:04:20.800 --> 00:04:26.160
and or your brother. I'm sorry, and I don't really have any recommendation

70
00:04:26.319 --> 00:04:29.160
dations on. Just stay at a
chain hotel. You know what. Yeah,

71
00:04:29.160 --> 00:04:31.720
there's stay a chain hotel. There's
great bus systems to the State Fair,

72
00:04:31.839 --> 00:04:34.759
So don't find the need to stay
right by the state Fair. That's

73
00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:39.120
actually probably like the worst idea to
do during State Fair time because that would

74
00:04:39.160 --> 00:04:43.519
just get annoying. Just find somewhere
that like is probably close to a bus

75
00:04:43.560 --> 00:04:46.439
system and then take yeah, because
they have shuttle buses from all the suburbs

76
00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:51.720
that come into Yeah, that'd be
cool. Absolutely when you get here,

77
00:04:51.920 --> 00:04:55.720
one hundred percent come up and say, Hi, that is super cool.

78
00:04:57.839 --> 00:05:02.639
That is Sarah's So I'm gonna skip
past that one. Let's try this one.

79
00:05:02.720 --> 00:05:08.720
I never understood, says Hannah.
Why on TV shows they wake up,

80
00:05:08.759 --> 00:05:12.079
brush their teeth and then eat breakfast. I've always brushed my teeth right

81
00:05:12.120 --> 00:05:15.279
before leaving the house because then it's
fresh. Why would you leave with breakfast

82
00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:17.399
on your teeth when you don't have
to. I do the same with my

83
00:05:17.519 --> 00:05:24.360
kids. Also, all these party
emails have me terrified about throwing my kids

84
00:05:24.720 --> 00:05:29.720
a friend birthday party. Ever,
we've been talking about people not showing up

85
00:05:29.759 --> 00:05:33.360
for birthday parties or whatever. We
live in a town where there's a bunch

86
00:05:33.399 --> 00:05:38.639
of called workers, private school teachers, private college school professors, and all

87
00:05:38.680 --> 00:05:41.439
of those teachers have gone to the
same college. A lot of them know

88
00:05:41.519 --> 00:05:44.120
each other. Also, a lot
of people don't move and have lived here

89
00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:46.519
their whole lives and have kids the
same age and their life long besties.

90
00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:50.759
So we have people who all went
to college together or work together and lifelong

91
00:05:50.800 --> 00:05:56.480
friends. And then me, newbie
in town. I got a couple of

92
00:05:56.480 --> 00:05:59.800
friends in town, but not many. What if no one comes to my

93
00:05:59.839 --> 00:06:03.959
baby's birthday parties because they don't know
me? Well? New fear unlocked.

94
00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:09.199
I don't think I could handle seeing
my kids hurting like that. I'd have

95
00:06:09.240 --> 00:06:12.240
no advice for you. I think
it's a genuine concern. But I also

96
00:06:12.319 --> 00:06:16.360
think I used to tell Alison,
don't live your life based on the fearful

97
00:06:16.399 --> 00:06:21.079
thing that might happen. Alison when
she was younger. I can't remember specifics,

98
00:06:21.120 --> 00:06:24.839
but it'd be like, dad,
what if we go to y Elliston

99
00:06:24.959 --> 00:06:28.040
Park and we get eaten by a
bear or a dad? What if we

100
00:06:28.040 --> 00:06:30.879
go to the mall and our carget
stolen? And I remember I told Alison,

101
00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:32.839
I said, you can't lay in
bed all day wearing a helmet.

102
00:06:32.920 --> 00:06:35.600
There's no life if you lay in
bed all day wearing a helmet. So

103
00:06:35.639 --> 00:06:39.759
Hannah, I would say, fuck
it. You throw that motherfucking party,

104
00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:43.040
and you tell people that they should
come, and you get RSVPs and you

105
00:06:43.079 --> 00:06:45.360
say, you know what, I
want to make sure you're coming because this

106
00:06:45.480 --> 00:06:48.000
is important to me. And if
you get you know, I mean a

107
00:06:48.040 --> 00:06:50.879
half a dozen kids to come to
the party, that's a win. You

108
00:06:50.879 --> 00:06:55.040
get four kids. I think the
average for me was about three kids that

109
00:06:55.160 --> 00:06:57.720
came to my birthday parties, and
that was a win that looked good.

110
00:06:57.879 --> 00:07:00.720
I don't remember ever having big birthday
parties, to be honest. I just

111
00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:04.199
think we did sleepovers so and it
was like fine if two people came or

112
00:07:04.240 --> 00:07:08.920
like eight people came, because I
think just sleepovers are a lot in general,

113
00:07:08.959 --> 00:07:10.839
and we had a small house so
we didn't have a ton of room

114
00:07:10.879 --> 00:07:14.399
anyways. Yeah, but so I
guess I just like don't remember the amount

115
00:07:14.439 --> 00:07:16.000
of people that would come. But
I would say I feel like as a

116
00:07:16.079 --> 00:07:18.800
parent, and maybe I don't know
this because I'm not a parent. Aren't

117
00:07:18.800 --> 00:07:23.519
you able to gauge like the friendships
you have with people and know if people

118
00:07:23.560 --> 00:07:26.639
are going to show up if your
kid's too young where you don't really rely

119
00:07:26.720 --> 00:07:30.639
on the kids being reliable to come. It's like the parent because I just

120
00:07:30.680 --> 00:07:33.120
feel like we read an email recently
where someone was throwing a birthday party for

121
00:07:33.160 --> 00:07:36.680
a two year old, and at
that point, the kids aren't showing up

122
00:07:36.720 --> 00:07:40.680
for the two year old. It's
the parent's responsibilities to show up for that

123
00:07:40.759 --> 00:07:44.759
kid's birthday in my opinion, But
then nobody showed up, So like I

124
00:07:44.879 --> 00:07:48.519
was wondering what would what was the
disconnect there and not having anyone show up.

125
00:07:48.639 --> 00:07:51.199
I'm going to guess it was probably
like, Okay, if I said,

126
00:07:51.199 --> 00:07:57.560
Okay, Jenny, it's Susan's birthday. She's gonna be celebrating next Sunday

127
00:07:57.560 --> 00:08:00.680
afternoon. Come by, We're going
to barbecue out of the deck and you're

128
00:08:00.720 --> 00:08:05.279
a good friend, but you might
have something that you can't come for,

129
00:08:05.920 --> 00:08:07.120
or you might have something come up
last minute. It's like, Okay,

130
00:08:07.199 --> 00:08:11.879
Jenny says she's gonna come, Fallon
says she's gonna comes. Fallon's birthday tomorrow.

131
00:08:11.920 --> 00:08:15.040
By the way, I think she's
forty tomorrow. She is forty tomorrow.

132
00:08:16.439 --> 00:08:20.040
And you know, like Colt's gonna
come, and Rich is gonna come.

133
00:08:20.399 --> 00:08:22.839
And so I've got all these people
that are friends and I know that

134
00:08:22.839 --> 00:08:24.360
they would come if they could.
But then I might get a phone call

135
00:08:24.560 --> 00:08:30.399
that afternoon that says, oh,
we are watching a dog and the dog

136
00:08:30.480 --> 00:08:33.159
got you know, like got loose, and now we got to go find

137
00:08:33.159 --> 00:08:35.919
the dog. Or Rich might say, yeah, Mandy doesn't feel good.

138
00:08:35.960 --> 00:08:39.799
She's got a sinus infection. And
so we might go from eight people coming

139
00:08:39.840 --> 00:08:41.399
down to two people, right,
And that happened one time I had a

140
00:08:41.399 --> 00:08:46.879
party at my house and I remember
somebody who worked on the show. They

141
00:08:46.919 --> 00:08:50.799
they texted me like an hour before
the party started said they weren't coming,

142
00:08:50.360 --> 00:08:54.440
and it was like, I know, I know they made an excuse.

143
00:08:54.480 --> 00:08:56.480
I know it was because their boyfriend
was, you know, kind of a

144
00:08:56.519 --> 00:09:01.039
dickhead and he didn't want to come, so they didn't go. So but

145
00:09:01.159 --> 00:09:03.320
I say, go ahead and do
it, and yeah, try to gauge

146
00:09:03.320 --> 00:09:07.279
it. Another one on Brianna just
got married back in October, and on

147
00:09:07.320 --> 00:09:11.600
this one I agree with Dave and
Vaunt. So we had a discussion yesterday.

148
00:09:11.639 --> 00:09:13.799
Somebody wrote in and we read it
on the air. They said,

149
00:09:13.840 --> 00:09:16.720
I went to a wedding. I
just got a very generic note that said

150
00:09:16.759 --> 00:09:22.000
thanks for the gift, thanks for
coming, signed bride and groom, and

151
00:09:22.080 --> 00:09:26.919
it was like very generic, no
like thanks for the blanket set, thanks

152
00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:31.600
for the air fryer. It was
very generic, like they rushed it.

153
00:09:31.240 --> 00:09:35.879
I said, I think that's rude. Vont agreed, so it's not necessarily

154
00:09:35.879 --> 00:09:39.559
an old thing. And I'm surprised
at Jenny, who's one of the nicest

155
00:09:39.559 --> 00:09:43.600
people in the world and very considerate, said fuck thank you notes. And

156
00:09:43.639 --> 00:09:46.480
I think that's a quote you did. You said, fuck fuck appreciation,

157
00:09:46.559 --> 00:09:50.120
Jenny, I said, fuck handwritten
thank you not. I said, f

158
00:09:50.240 --> 00:09:54.240
that you have other things to worry
about in life. I think and thank

159
00:09:54.279 --> 00:09:58.639
you note is all that is necessary
after a wedding. If it's handwritten or

160
00:09:58.679 --> 00:10:01.360
typed out, cool who cares.
That's my thought on it. Okay,

161
00:10:01.480 --> 00:10:07.799
they said we got generic thank you
cards and hand wrote personalized messages in the

162
00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:11.240
cards, then we stamped and address
the cards. We actually did the same

163
00:10:11.279 --> 00:10:13.200
thing with our Christmas cards. We
also went to a wedding two weeks after

164
00:10:13.240 --> 00:10:18.320
ours, and we did not get
a thank you card. Also, on

165
00:10:18.360 --> 00:10:20.960
the topic of wedding gifts, we
have specifically for money to plan a honeymoon,

166
00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:24.399
not gifts. We're planning a trip
for Germany for our first anniversary.

167
00:10:24.639 --> 00:10:28.840
We did not want more stuff.
We're in our thirties, we don't need

168
00:10:28.919 --> 00:10:35.480
more gifts. Is it tacky to
ask for money for your wedding gift?

169
00:10:35.720 --> 00:10:43.039
There's a subject no judging, but
I thought it was tacky. I thought

170
00:10:43.080 --> 00:10:46.759
I heard etiquette wise, that's tacky. See, and I've heard both ways

171
00:10:46.879 --> 00:10:50.440
lately, because I also have heard
like how do you ask that? And

172
00:10:50.480 --> 00:10:54.000
so I think I saw it on
a meme recently and it was people commenting

173
00:10:54.080 --> 00:10:58.279
how you should phrase it on the
wedding invite of not asking for gifts but

174
00:10:58.320 --> 00:11:00.759
asking for money, and it was
like, you don't have to bring me

175
00:11:00.799 --> 00:11:05.799
a gift, no worries, but
if you feel so obliged to give me

176
00:11:05.879 --> 00:11:09.639
something. You can donate to a
honeymoon trip in the future or something.

177
00:11:09.639 --> 00:11:11.120
But it was like you're saying at
the beginning, like you don't have to

178
00:11:11.120 --> 00:11:13.679
give me a gift, but if
you do, choose to just give us

179
00:11:13.759 --> 00:11:16.480
money. So that was like one
way to go about it. But I

180
00:11:16.480 --> 00:11:18.840
don't know. I don't think it's
tacky either, because I'm also in my

181
00:11:18.879 --> 00:11:22.240
thirties now, and if Andrew and
I got married, I don't need a

182
00:11:22.240 --> 00:11:24.679
bunch of shit. I just will
thinks or an air frier. Yeah,

183
00:11:24.720 --> 00:11:28.799
I would just rather have some cash
for like what they're doing, the trip

184
00:11:28.840 --> 00:11:31.840
to Germany or whatever they said.
Let's talk about that next week on the

185
00:11:31.840 --> 00:11:33.039
show. Maybe Monday, we can
bring that up on the actual show.

186
00:11:33.120 --> 00:11:37.960
Yeah, about whether it's okay to
bring it to ask for money. Side

187
00:11:37.000 --> 00:11:41.240
note around weddings, but circling to
people not coming back to birthday parties.

188
00:11:41.919 --> 00:11:46.200
I did not have a shower or
bachelorette party in fear of people not showing

189
00:11:46.279 --> 00:11:48.759
up. I did not want gifts, but smaller events with friends and family

190
00:11:48.799 --> 00:11:52.399
would have been nice. I also
agree with Jenny, it's parenting that allows

191
00:11:52.480 --> 00:11:56.039
kids to not show up to parties. My dad enforced that if you say

192
00:11:56.039 --> 00:11:58.600
you're gonna go do something, you
gotta do it. I even had to

193
00:11:58.600 --> 00:12:03.559
miss a fit family member's wedding because
I r s vp'd to a birthday party

194
00:12:03.639 --> 00:12:09.440
before I knew about the wedding.
Oh wow. But on Christmas cards,

195
00:12:09.440 --> 00:12:11.720
I'm with Jenny and fallon just the
Merry Christmas with photos. See. I

196
00:12:11.879 --> 00:12:18.240
don't like that. I think it's
impersonal. I think it's like it's basically

197
00:12:18.240 --> 00:12:20.399
saying you're not really worth the time
for me to spend a lot of time

198
00:12:20.440 --> 00:12:26.720
on your Christmas card. But I
write, you know, like Merry Christmas,

199
00:12:26.799 --> 00:12:28.600
love David, Susan or hope to
see you this summer or something like

200
00:12:28.600 --> 00:12:31.200
that. It was weird in my
card this year said Merry Christmas, Jenny

201
00:12:31.240 --> 00:12:33.879
and Adam, and I was like, who's that Adam, Adam, I'm

202
00:12:33.879 --> 00:12:37.159
just kidding. You wrote you wrote
answer in it? Yes, I was

203
00:12:37.720 --> 00:12:43.159
just messing. I was like,
seriously, No. Also, while I'm

204
00:12:43.159 --> 00:12:46.840
here, how long till we find
out when vant or Bailey are permanent fixtures

205
00:12:46.840 --> 00:12:50.480
of the show. I don't know. Thank you love list of the podcast

206
00:12:50.519 --> 00:12:54.120
each day. I have no plans
to ever stop listening, even through the

207
00:12:54.240 --> 00:12:58.600
change. The change can be jarring
sometimes. Ps Fallon is doing amazing on

208
00:12:58.639 --> 00:13:01.480
her show. I miss her in
the mornings, but Colt and her also

209
00:13:01.720 --> 00:13:07.279
do great. That's the thing.
Hopefully the change is like going through a

210
00:13:07.279 --> 00:13:11.480
storm. Jenny is kind of like
going through a storm. The storm kind

211
00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:13.320
of comes out of nowhere, and
it sucks, and the waves are rough

212
00:13:13.320 --> 00:13:18.840
and the wind is blowing and there's
hail. Yeah, but then you don't

213
00:13:18.039 --> 00:13:22.960
storm right and then on the other
side of the storm things are better and

214
00:13:24.080 --> 00:13:28.080
hopefully the storm stops. So you
know, I've weathered a lot of storms,

215
00:13:28.080 --> 00:13:31.600
and I've always been confident in myself
that you know what, I know

216
00:13:31.679 --> 00:13:33.840
what to do. It might take
longer than I want, but I know

217
00:13:33.919 --> 00:13:39.440
what to do. So I think
that's just I was telling Susan last night.

218
00:13:39.720 --> 00:13:41.879
I said, I forget even how
it came up. But when I

219
00:13:41.919 --> 00:13:46.759
was twenty one years old, I
was talking about vont and I said,

220
00:13:46.840 --> 00:13:50.559
Vaunt is so sharp. He's twenty
two years old. He's got you know,

221
00:13:50.720 --> 00:13:54.480
the world is his oyster because he's
so sharp and he's so ambitious.

222
00:13:54.519 --> 00:13:58.279
And I said, when I was
twenty one, I got hired to do

223
00:13:58.320 --> 00:14:01.799
a morning show in Las Vegas.
I had never done mornings before. It

224
00:14:01.840 --> 00:14:05.639
was a big radio station KL you
see, in a decent sized market,

225
00:14:05.440 --> 00:14:09.360
and they hired me. And I
said, I look back on that twenty

226
00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:11.559
one year old kid me, I
don't know how I did it. I

227
00:14:11.600 --> 00:14:16.200
should not have been able to be
successful because I had never done it.

228
00:14:16.600 --> 00:14:18.840
I didn't know what I was doing. But I didn't know. I didn't

229
00:14:18.879 --> 00:14:22.320
know what I was doing, so
I just did a lot of stuff and

230
00:14:22.399 --> 00:14:28.600
it worked and I was no or
voted Las Vegas's most popular DJ after being

231
00:14:28.639 --> 00:14:31.799
there less than a year. Then
I moved away, and even after I

232
00:14:31.840 --> 00:14:35.080
moved away, I won Las Vegas's
most popular DJ. I'm not saying it

233
00:14:35.080 --> 00:14:39.440
to brag, maybe a little bit, but like, I don't know if

234
00:14:39.519 --> 00:14:41.720
I could do that today. I
don't know how I did it. And

235
00:14:41.759 --> 00:14:45.960
I think one of the reasons is
I didn't know that I shouldn't have been

236
00:14:45.960 --> 00:14:48.799
successful, you know what I mean. That's I was going to say that

237
00:14:48.960 --> 00:14:50.720
was like a good thing to be
like naive about, because I think a

238
00:14:50.720 --> 00:14:54.639
lot of people put so much pressure
on perfection when they're trying something new and

239
00:14:54.679 --> 00:14:58.039
then that it causes them to not
to do what not to do whatever that

240
00:14:58.120 --> 00:15:01.320
new thing is because they want perfection, and you just went into it like

241
00:15:01.399 --> 00:15:07.159
head first and did what you did
and clearly did well. I did everything.

242
00:15:07.200 --> 00:15:11.799
I tried everything, and it stuck
and it worked. And then after

243
00:15:11.840 --> 00:15:13.200
I was there for fifteen months,
the company said, oh, well,

244
00:15:13.240 --> 00:15:16.480
let's get you out of Las Vegas
and movie you to glamorous Columbus, so

245
00:15:16.639 --> 00:15:20.919
high, beautiful, and it worked
really well there too. I mean,

246
00:15:20.919 --> 00:15:22.759
it's always worked. I've gotten fired
twice too. Radio stations I worked at

247
00:15:22.799 --> 00:15:26.279
in Phoenix it did not work,
and that was where I first realized,

248
00:15:26.320 --> 00:15:31.679
oh, it's not always guaranteed that
this will work. So I don't even

249
00:15:31.720 --> 00:15:33.840
know how we got onto that,
honestly, not sure how that came out

250
00:15:35.200 --> 00:15:39.480
here anymore. Let's see. Chow
writes in regular contributor, Hey Gang,

251
00:15:39.879 --> 00:15:43.679
I liked the podcast be about twenty
five minutes. That's just enough time for

252
00:15:43.679 --> 00:15:46.080
me to drive into work, Jenny. For cell phone, especially some newer

253
00:15:46.120 --> 00:15:50.519
phones that still might need bugs worked
out, I find that doing a factory

254
00:15:50.679 --> 00:15:54.000
reset helps. That works for my
phone and my wife's phone. But if

255
00:15:54.000 --> 00:15:56.840
with a factory reset, then you're
taking off all the data that's on your

256
00:15:56.840 --> 00:16:00.240
phone as that's what your factory reset, taking off everything. There are certain

257
00:16:00.279 --> 00:16:03.840
things, and I've actually completely deleted
the Instagram app, which like deletes all

258
00:16:03.840 --> 00:16:07.799
your drafts if you have drafts,
like reels drafts or something like that.

259
00:16:07.080 --> 00:16:11.399
So I've deleted the app itself before
and then re downloaded it, and that

260
00:16:11.440 --> 00:16:14.919
didn't help either, So you know, I just deal with it. I'm

261
00:16:15.000 --> 00:16:18.360
used to like technology not always working
in my favor, so it is always

262
00:16:18.759 --> 00:16:22.159
I think we all are. It's
kind of like techno, Well it doesn't

263
00:16:22.200 --> 00:16:26.639
work. Why doesn't it work?
Because it's technology, Kara writes in and

264
00:16:26.720 --> 00:16:30.039
she says, I know Dave and
Jenny care for dogs and love care for

265
00:16:30.120 --> 00:16:33.320
dogs. I thought of you after
something happened to me today. I wanted

266
00:16:33.320 --> 00:16:36.840
to get your thoughts on walking my
dog home from the park on a street

267
00:16:36.840 --> 00:16:41.159
with no sidewalks that I don't normally
go on, because ironically I saw a

268
00:16:41.399 --> 00:16:45.320
loose dog wandering in the street on
our normal route. As I passed a

269
00:16:45.360 --> 00:16:49.120
house, two big dogs starting barking
at us from inside, which scared me,

270
00:16:49.159 --> 00:16:52.600
to be honest, thinking it could
be a loose dog, but we

271
00:16:52.679 --> 00:16:56.759
kept walking by just past the house. The lady there called out to me.

272
00:16:56.799 --> 00:17:00.600
I didn't hear her because, so
she shouted back, can you keep

273
00:17:00.600 --> 00:17:07.400
your dog off people's lawns please?
I was completely taken aback and meekly said

274
00:17:07.559 --> 00:17:11.359
okay, and I just kept walking. My dog was extra curious because it

275
00:17:11.359 --> 00:17:15.960
was a new street and I was
distracted by the barking dogs. But I'm

276
00:17:15.079 --> 00:17:18.240
certain she was in the grass no
more than a few feet into her yard.

277
00:17:18.839 --> 00:17:22.559
My dog does have a thirteen foot
retractable leash, but I don't let

278
00:17:22.559 --> 00:17:27.400
her wander that far into yards.
Is it normal to expect dogs not to

279
00:17:27.480 --> 00:17:32.000
cross the plane of the curb into
your yard. I would never be offended

280
00:17:32.039 --> 00:17:33.279
by that, unless the dog was
pooping and they didn't pick it up.

281
00:17:33.599 --> 00:17:37.559
I'm a very sensitive person, also
currently pregnant and hormonal, so I felt

282
00:17:37.559 --> 00:17:41.880
so bad. I cried all the
way home anyway, wondering if what she

283
00:17:41.920 --> 00:17:47.440
said was normal or reasonable. I
will say, Kara, no, no,

284
00:17:47.960 --> 00:17:52.319
you are welcome to walk your dog
across my lawn. I don't care.

285
00:17:52.480 --> 00:17:55.920
You're more than welcome. Dogs can
walk onto my lawn for three feet.

286
00:17:55.920 --> 00:17:59.640
I wouldn't like your dog to like
wander on my lawn, and certainly,

287
00:17:59.680 --> 00:18:02.759
if you're poops on my lawn.
You gotta pick it up. But

288
00:18:02.799 --> 00:18:06.000
my dog has walked along. I've
walked on roads with no sidewalks. Josie

289
00:18:06.039 --> 00:18:07.680
will poop on the lawn. Well, you pick it up, and if

290
00:18:07.680 --> 00:18:11.440
they get mad, you go,
I'm sorry, it's a dog. There's

291
00:18:11.480 --> 00:18:15.079
no sidewalks. What am I supposed
to do? Walk in just the street?

292
00:18:15.160 --> 00:18:17.519
I mean, I guess I could, But I'm gonna say Kara my

293
00:18:17.640 --> 00:18:21.680
opinion, she was a bitchy.
You did nothing wrong. I agree completely.

294
00:18:21.680 --> 00:18:25.079
And also, even when there are
sidewalks, dogs poop in people's yards

295
00:18:25.160 --> 00:18:26.240
and you clean it up, So
I don't think that that's that big of

296
00:18:26.240 --> 00:18:29.480
a deal. But no, that
person's in the wrong. We don't have

297
00:18:29.599 --> 00:18:33.279
many there's a lot of places that
don't have sidewalks in Saint Louis Park.

298
00:18:33.359 --> 00:18:36.839
So we're doing what she said quite
often when we walk dogs. Okay,

299
00:18:36.880 --> 00:18:38.599
more email from the Minnesota Goodbye.
We're gonna wrap things up here in a

300
00:18:38.680 --> 00:18:41.880
second. We're about eighteen minutes right
now, and we'll just kind of see

301
00:18:41.880 --> 00:18:47.559
what happens here we go. Good
Morning Morning show, says Molly. I

302
00:18:47.599 --> 00:18:49.200
get a story from a recent flight. I'm in the middle seat and in

303
00:18:49.240 --> 00:18:52.759
the row in front of me was
a man, and being that I was

304
00:18:52.799 --> 00:18:56.400
in the middle seat, I could
see him texting over his phone, so

305
00:18:56.759 --> 00:19:04.079
I was nozy and started reading his
text and became very sexual, talking about

306
00:19:04.079 --> 00:19:08.519
female anatomy and having sex in a
car. I'll spare you the details,

307
00:19:08.559 --> 00:19:15.039
but that wasn't the crazy part.
The crazy part was at the top where

308
00:19:15.079 --> 00:19:21.880
the contact shows it was listed as
Fred as a male's name, so he

309
00:19:21.920 --> 00:19:25.559
immediately deleted the text just as we're
about to take off. So I'm pretty

310
00:19:25.559 --> 00:19:30.200
sure he was texting his side piece
on the plane that he saves in his

311
00:19:30.240 --> 00:19:34.880
phone as Fred. Mollie, you
are a gossipy, nosy person and I

312
00:19:34.920 --> 00:19:37.960
love you for it. I'm impressed
with your vision. I would not be

313
00:19:37.960 --> 00:19:41.359
able to see that far in front
of me, and I would be a

314
00:19:41.440 --> 00:19:44.920
little bit dumb. I don't know. I've stumped as far as to like

315
00:19:45.000 --> 00:19:47.920
lean one side to the left or
to the right to actually be able to

316
00:19:47.920 --> 00:19:51.200
see that. But that is pretty
impressive. Maybe she was fine spirit where

317
00:19:51.240 --> 00:19:53.400
you're basically sitting on each other's laps
because it's so close, it might have

318
00:19:53.440 --> 00:19:56.440
been so thank you, Mollie,
appreciate that. Hey, Dave, Jenny

319
00:19:56.440 --> 00:20:00.519
and Crewe. First time emailer,
but I've been listening for over ten years.

320
00:20:00.559 --> 00:20:03.880
I know I joined the club late. I'm a transplant from southern Minnesota

321
00:20:03.000 --> 00:20:07.359
and where KDWB doesn't come in.
I still have to put you on iHeart

322
00:20:07.400 --> 00:20:10.880
when I go home to get my
morning show fixed. Thank you. I

323
00:20:10.920 --> 00:20:14.400
remember a couple of times, probably
a couple of years ago, you guys

324
00:20:14.400 --> 00:20:18.359
did weird jobs. I work for
a cemetery and we're in one of our

325
00:20:18.400 --> 00:20:22.039
two big pre planning months, offering
seminars to help people understand how important pre

326
00:20:22.039 --> 00:20:26.400
planning is and how to plan for
that season of life. We get mostly

327
00:20:26.440 --> 00:20:30.119
grandmas and grandpa's, but I want
people to understand that isn't your just your

328
00:20:30.160 --> 00:20:33.279
mom, your dad, or your
grandma norma. Young people pass away every

329
00:20:33.359 --> 00:20:37.720
day, and these are typically the
people that never even thought about what they

330
00:20:37.799 --> 00:20:41.799
wanted themselves. Well, of course
not, that's totally understandable. I made

331
00:20:41.799 --> 00:20:45.279
a career change away from a corporate
job with Caterpillar because I wasn't feeling like

332
00:20:45.319 --> 00:20:48.680
I was getting putting good into the
world, and I realized that was a

333
00:20:48.720 --> 00:20:52.559
core value of mine. My twenty
six year old husband passed away in twenty

334
00:20:52.599 --> 00:20:57.000
seventeen, so sad, leaving behind
a whole family, including his four year

335
00:20:57.039 --> 00:21:00.519
old son. I work with families
because I know how important our funeral director

336
00:21:00.559 --> 00:21:06.000
in churches were in our journey through
hell. That's where I felt called.

337
00:21:06.039 --> 00:21:08.640
My husband had done some important financial
planning that really saved us, but he

338
00:21:08.680 --> 00:21:12.440
didn't really have any plans for what
we should do for him in case the

339
00:21:12.440 --> 00:21:17.319
worst happen. I work with families
now because I get it. I know

340
00:21:17.400 --> 00:21:21.000
how impossible and hard all of this
is, and having somebody who gets it

341
00:21:21.039 --> 00:21:23.599
is so comforting when you are going
through it. If a job was ever

342
00:21:23.680 --> 00:21:27.680
home to me, this is it. I was just wondering if you might

343
00:21:29.279 --> 00:21:33.200
want to do another weird job segment
for cemetery work and pre planning. I

344
00:21:33.319 --> 00:21:36.759
get it, loving this job is
weird. But isn't that kind of the

345
00:21:36.839 --> 00:21:41.640
person you want helping you through these
weird conversations? This is Elizabeth, And

346
00:21:41.759 --> 00:21:45.240
I gotta tell you, Elizabeth,
I admire you because that's exactly what I

347
00:21:45.240 --> 00:21:49.559
think anybody would want, is somebody
who is truly empathetic when that happens.

348
00:21:49.759 --> 00:21:55.079
And I'm going to guess most funeral
directors or people who work with Cemeteries have

349
00:21:55.279 --> 00:22:00.359
lost someone and they're probably very professional
and empathetic, but you are doing this

350
00:22:00.400 --> 00:22:03.599
because you've been through it yourself.
I really admire that. It's kind of

351
00:22:03.599 --> 00:22:06.960
like somebody like you hear about kids
who like they're ten years old and they

352
00:22:07.119 --> 00:22:11.119
survive cancer and they want to grow
up and help kids that have cancer.

353
00:22:11.799 --> 00:22:15.799
Yeah. I like that. Also. We are called the Catholic Cemeteries,

354
00:22:15.799 --> 00:22:18.000
and we operate under the umbrella of
the Catholic Church, but we are no

355
00:22:18.079 --> 00:22:22.119
means exclusively Catholic. One of my
favorite things about this job is learning about

356
00:22:22.119 --> 00:22:26.359
all the different cultures in their various
traditions. We've buried recently in African traditions,

357
00:22:26.440 --> 00:22:30.960
Jewish, and some Asian. We
believe everybody should have a beautiful,

358
00:22:30.000 --> 00:22:36.160
well kept resting place. We don't
impose the Catholic faith onto any of our

359
00:22:36.160 --> 00:22:38.759
families. We meet you exactly where
you are at that moment in time and

360
00:22:38.759 --> 00:22:42.079
do our best to honor these traditions
to the best of our abilities. Wow,

361
00:22:42.119 --> 00:22:45.359
Elizabeth, I'm really impressed, and
I'm going to give you a plug

362
00:22:45.400 --> 00:22:48.920
called Catholic Cemeteries because it sounds like
you, guys, your heart's really in

363
00:22:48.960 --> 00:22:52.559
the right place. I'm not going
to name any names, but I knew

364
00:22:52.599 --> 00:22:59.079
somebody who worked at a cemetery.
They don't anymore, and they would with

365
00:22:59.160 --> 00:23:02.400
certain The cemetery I don't think had
much to do with it, but the

366
00:23:02.440 --> 00:23:11.599
funeral directors in certain situations, I'll
say, would pump this family full of

367
00:23:11.640 --> 00:23:15.799
bullshit like, oh, well,
you don't want this cheap casket, you

368
00:23:15.839 --> 00:23:18.839
want this one, and you also
want this, and you also want this,

369
00:23:18.920 --> 00:23:22.039
and you want the service with this, because they were all about making

370
00:23:22.839 --> 00:23:29.240
money. And when a family's grieving, you know you want to do the

371
00:23:29.240 --> 00:23:30.720
best for them. You don't want
to go, well, give me the

372
00:23:30.759 --> 00:23:32.480
cheap one, give me the cheap
one. You want to give them the

373
00:23:32.480 --> 00:23:33.759
best one. So that is it. We got to cut it short.

374
