00:00:00.400 --> 00:00:05.000
It's the Minnesota Goodbye with Jenny and
Drake. Hi, Hi, Drake,

2
00:00:05.160 --> 00:00:09.160
how are you? I'm good?
Are you sleepy today? Like me?

3
00:00:09.480 --> 00:00:13.199
A little bit? Yeah? This
Monday? You know, no, it's

4
00:00:13.240 --> 00:00:17.839
it is Monday. I also Monday. I'm getting it. I drink a

5
00:00:17.839 --> 00:00:20.280
lot yesterday too, and I think
that has a little bit to do with

6
00:00:20.320 --> 00:00:25.280
it. What were you consuming?
I was doing some beer and then I

7
00:00:25.359 --> 00:00:29.359
was drinking a lot of champagne.
Champagne. Yeah, champagne and beer.

8
00:00:30.199 --> 00:00:33.799
Quite a combo. Yeah, champagne
bait. I am you have champagne taste?

9
00:00:33.920 --> 00:00:37.520
I do, all right. We'll
dive into a couple of emails.

10
00:00:38.280 --> 00:00:41.640
We might skip some just because some
of them are addressed to Dave, so

11
00:00:42.479 --> 00:00:45.520
we'll try to get to ones that
are just to nobody in particular. It

12
00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:48.399
says, Hi, Dave and Gang. I love your show and listen all

13
00:00:48.399 --> 00:00:51.600
the way from in Nashville, Tennessee. I was listening to the Minnesota Goodbye

14
00:00:51.600 --> 00:00:55.520
when you discuss throwing stuff away.
My dad passed away on January fifth this

15
00:00:55.600 --> 00:00:59.039
year. I'm sorry for your loss. His office was a testament to all

16
00:00:59.079 --> 00:01:03.520
his kids and great grandkids. One
of the things that everyone was happy and

17
00:01:03.560 --> 00:01:06.760
surprised to see was the random stuff
he saved. For example, my now

18
00:01:06.799 --> 00:01:10.599
thirty year old son gave my dad
a painted ceramic airplane when he was six.

19
00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:14.040
My dad still had that on display. There are no words as I

20
00:01:14.079 --> 00:01:17.159
scoop that up and now have it
proudly on display with a picture of my

21
00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:21.519
dad opening that very same gift.
What made this more remarkable is my dad

22
00:01:21.560 --> 00:01:23.480
had moved to a new state and
a couple of homes since then. This

23
00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:26.799
was not just something he did not
throw away, but something he decided to

24
00:01:26.840 --> 00:01:30.439
save. So save some of that
random stuff. We really have no idea

25
00:01:30.439 --> 00:01:36.560
the impact it will have someday.
My dad had graduation announcements, birth announcements,

26
00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:41.040
saying cards not everyone, but not
everything, but everyone was represented.

27
00:01:41.599 --> 00:01:44.879
Losing my dad was incredibly hard,
But that airplane brings me a smile.

28
00:01:44.959 --> 00:01:47.400
Keep up the great work. If
you have a staff writer, Sticker would

29
00:01:47.439 --> 00:01:49.120
love it all. Love all the
way from Nashville, Tennessee. That comes

30
00:01:49.159 --> 00:01:55.200
from Bernice. That is so sweet. I know that Dave is like going

31
00:01:55.239 --> 00:01:57.680
through this phase of life of trying
to get rid of a ton of stuff,

32
00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:00.319
and it's hard because he's got so
many of the kids stuff I don't

33
00:02:00.359 --> 00:02:04.319
know what to talk, It's like
whatever, But I think my parents are

34
00:02:04.400 --> 00:02:07.519
kind of in that phase too.
Did your parents hold on to a lot

35
00:02:07.519 --> 00:02:09.840
of your stuff? Yeah, They've
got like a like just a big old

36
00:02:09.879 --> 00:02:15.240
bucket full of like all my elementary
school projects that I would bring home.

37
00:02:15.400 --> 00:02:17.560
There's some like Christmas tree ornaments that
they even still put up on, like

38
00:02:17.560 --> 00:02:22.159
the Christmas tree every year that I
made when I was younger. So yeah,

39
00:02:22.159 --> 00:02:23.960
they definitely do still hang on to
some of that some of that stuff

40
00:02:23.960 --> 00:02:29.840
for sure. Yeah. I am
like the biggest proponent of getting rid of

41
00:02:29.879 --> 00:02:32.080
things that do not serve a purpose
a lot of times. So I have

42
00:02:32.159 --> 00:02:35.479
not hung up hung on to a
lot of things in life, but I

43
00:02:35.520 --> 00:02:38.680
do know that it probably will be
hard if I ever have kids to throw

44
00:02:38.759 --> 00:02:42.599
things out. I will call my
sister out. Or I'm not calling her

45
00:02:42.599 --> 00:02:45.400
out because I know a lot of
parents do this. But my sister sent

46
00:02:45.400 --> 00:02:49.879
a video the other day of my
niece literally going through the garbage because sister

47
00:02:49.960 --> 00:02:52.919
had just thrown on a bunch of
random things she had brought home from school,

48
00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:55.280
and she was like, no,
I want to keep this. I

49
00:02:55.280 --> 00:02:59.039
think you should keep and she was
like she found it, and like my

50
00:02:59.120 --> 00:03:00.680
sister thought she didn't, and I
think she went in there to throw something

51
00:03:00.680 --> 00:03:05.159
out, and my niece was like
pulling all this stuff on and was upset,

52
00:03:05.400 --> 00:03:07.639
or she wasn't upset, but he's
like, Mom, why are you

53
00:03:07.719 --> 00:03:10.639
doing this? She's only she's gonna
be five in April. So it's so

54
00:03:10.719 --> 00:03:15.080
cute. Anyways, all right,
let's move on to our next email.

55
00:03:15.520 --> 00:03:19.919
Hey, Morning Show, was just
listening to the podcast from Friday about the

56
00:03:19.960 --> 00:03:23.439
girl that emailed in wondering if she
should reach out to a former excess family

57
00:03:23.479 --> 00:03:27.039
member to see how the ex is
doing because her ex has her blocked on

58
00:03:27.080 --> 00:03:30.840
social media? Dave, you,
can you explain this to me? Was

59
00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:32.719
this during the main show or on
Minnesota Goodbye? So wait, she's talking

60
00:03:32.759 --> 00:03:36.800
about that ex. It says,
was just listening to the podcast from Friday

61
00:03:36.840 --> 00:03:39.400
about the girl that emailed in wondering
if she should reach out to a former

62
00:03:39.439 --> 00:03:43.639
excess family member to see how the
ex is doing because her ex has her

63
00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:46.080
blocked on social media. That must
be that doesn't ring about so that must

64
00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:50.439
have been just on the Minnesota by
Okay, so it says Dave, you

65
00:03:50.520 --> 00:03:53.039
and Bailey both said yes, the
emailer should reach out to the relative.

66
00:03:54.319 --> 00:03:58.280
What no, no, no,
no, no, no no. They

67
00:03:58.319 --> 00:04:00.719
have you blocked for a reason because
they don't want you to know how they're

68
00:04:00.719 --> 00:04:04.360
doing. It would be one thing
to message if they weren't blocked, but

69
00:04:04.439 --> 00:04:08.400
if you're still blocked ten years later, Nope. I blocked my ex when

70
00:04:08.400 --> 00:04:11.439
we divorced and it's been ten plus
years and I still don't want him to

71
00:04:11.479 --> 00:04:13.919
know how I am. And please, for the love of God, don't

72
00:04:13.960 --> 00:04:15.439
reach out to their family. If
your X wanted you to know about their

73
00:04:15.480 --> 00:04:19.079
life, they could easily unblock you, and yet ten years later they have

74
00:04:19.160 --> 00:04:23.079
chosen not to. Just my two
cents on this subject, hope you all

75
00:04:23.120 --> 00:04:27.079
have a lovely week. That comes
from Jillian. Obviously, Drake and I

76
00:04:27.160 --> 00:04:30.360
were not here for this email.
I'd be curious to know what their argument

77
00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:33.360
was for that. From the cliff
notes of it of sounding like if the

78
00:04:33.439 --> 00:04:36.199
person should reach out to their ex
but they've been blocked, Yeah, I

79
00:04:36.240 --> 00:04:40.120
would be on the side of Gillian, who just emailed then two, No,

80
00:04:40.199 --> 00:04:42.920
you don't reach out. You don't
reach out to that person exactly.

81
00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:46.600
Yeah, I know, I want
to know what David. I guess it's

82
00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:49.759
just that they both said, yes, they should reach out to a relative.

83
00:04:50.439 --> 00:04:56.000
I also think it's a little strange
when you have to reach out to

84
00:04:56.040 --> 00:05:00.240
someone else to find out information about
someone. Yeah, because I had friend

85
00:05:00.279 --> 00:05:04.680
once who reached out to this guy
who she had like she'd become pretty obsessed

86
00:05:04.720 --> 00:05:10.279
with him, and then the guy
did her dirty and she reached out to

87
00:05:10.319 --> 00:05:15.319
his friend asking for information. And
she told me all this and she asked

88
00:05:15.319 --> 00:05:18.040
my opinion about it, and I
go, I think you have your answer

89
00:05:18.160 --> 00:05:21.439
because you're reaching out to his friend, and I don't think you should have

90
00:05:21.480 --> 00:05:25.319
had to do that. I think
you shouldn't have done it. I don't

91
00:05:25.319 --> 00:05:28.279
think you should have had to do
that. This person is clearly a jerk,

92
00:05:28.920 --> 00:05:32.199
and when you're going jumping through hoops
to find out some information about like

93
00:05:32.240 --> 00:05:36.120
your relationship, I think that's like
a step too far for sure. If

94
00:05:36.199 --> 00:05:39.560
Drake and I are getting it wrong
because we were not here and we didn't

95
00:05:39.920 --> 00:05:43.000
hear the original email, you are
more than welcome to email us back and

96
00:05:43.040 --> 00:05:45.399
let us know. But I am
on the side of yours, Jillian,

97
00:05:45.480 --> 00:05:47.399
And so this is Drake I think
about No, probably don't reach out to

98
00:05:47.439 --> 00:05:53.279
the person's relative who has you blocked. Okay, let's see this. One

99
00:05:53.319 --> 00:05:56.079
says I heard Jenny read a bunch
of random facts on the radio the other

100
00:05:56.160 --> 00:05:59.399
day. Here's mine, Dave,
you'll like it too well. I'll tell

101
00:05:59.480 --> 00:06:03.279
him when he gets back on Wednesday. Carol's Spinney or Spiny was the man

102
00:06:03.399 --> 00:06:10.560
who voiced and puppeteered Big Big since
the beginning of Sesame Street in the nineteen

103
00:06:10.759 --> 00:06:14.000
sixties. Oh, it's Big Bird. But they put Big Big and I

104
00:06:14.079 --> 00:06:17.399
was like, who's Big Big on
Sesame Street. I don't know who they're

105
00:06:17.439 --> 00:06:21.680
talking about. Okay, anyways,
they voiced big Birds since the beginning of

106
00:06:21.720 --> 00:06:27.000
Sesame Street in the nineteen sixties.
In the early nineteen eighties, when NASA

107
00:06:27.079 --> 00:06:30.879
was falling out of the public favor, they approached Carol to take Big Bird

108
00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:34.120
to space on the nineteen eighty four
Challenger mission to reignite the interest in NASA

109
00:06:34.160 --> 00:06:38.600
with children. He went through the
weeks and months of astronaut training, and

110
00:06:38.680 --> 00:06:42.480
in his last weeks they had him
put on the Big Bird suit to actually

111
00:06:42.480 --> 00:06:46.800
get into the shuttle, and the
costume wouldn't fit. They could not get

112
00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:48.800
it in the doors of the shuttle, so then they had to scrape the

113
00:06:48.879 --> 00:06:53.920
idea scrap the idea of taking Big
Bird to space. This is when they

114
00:06:53.959 --> 00:06:57.519
thought of the idea to do a
national contest to take a teacher to space.

115
00:06:58.079 --> 00:07:00.879
We all know this ends with the
who horrible explosion of the Challenge Shuttle

116
00:07:01.120 --> 00:07:08.680
in nineteen eighty four, carrying seven
astronauts and a teacher, Christa mc mcalliliff.

117
00:07:09.000 --> 00:07:11.839
Sorry, I actually should know how
to say that, and I'm totally

118
00:07:11.839 --> 00:07:15.759
but cheering her name who had won
the contest. So this teacher won the

119
00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:19.000
contest and unfortunately she passed away in
that explosion. Had it not been for

120
00:07:19.040 --> 00:07:23.759
the Big Bird being unable to physically
fit in the rocket, Big Bird would

121
00:07:23.759 --> 00:07:27.000
have been in that fatal explosion.
I learned this from a great documentary called

122
00:07:27.079 --> 00:07:30.319
I Am Big Bird, highlighting the
life and career of Carol Spinny Spiny.

123
00:07:30.319 --> 00:07:33.120
However you say it, it was
fantastic. Get it out for a nerdy

124
00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:36.000
documentary. Sometime you'll make my day
every day. Thank you for all you

125
00:07:36.079 --> 00:07:41.800
do. That comes from Jens.
Dude. That's so crazy, Like I

126
00:07:41.839 --> 00:07:45.560
got like really weird goosebumps just thinking
about that. You ever want to go

127
00:07:45.560 --> 00:07:48.800
to space? Kinda yeah, I
do. I kind of want to Andrew

128
00:07:48.800 --> 00:07:51.120
and I've been watching for All Mankind, and I know I've talked about it

129
00:07:51.120 --> 00:07:54.600
a million times. And it's not
a new show. There's four seasons out

130
00:07:54.600 --> 00:07:58.040
of it already, but it's all
about space travel and going to the Moon

131
00:07:58.079 --> 00:08:01.759
and Mars and all this stuff.
I was like, listen, I'm good

132
00:08:01.759 --> 00:08:03.959
here on planet Earth. Planet Earth
has everything I need. It has oxygen,

133
00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:07.879
it has gravity, it allows me
to breathe without having a space suit

134
00:08:07.959 --> 00:08:11.680
on. I am good living here. So I think I'm going to pass

135
00:08:11.680 --> 00:08:16.800
if like space travel becomes like a
thing in our lifetime. I don't think

136
00:08:16.800 --> 00:08:18.199
there's ever going to be a desire
for me to go up there. If

137
00:08:18.279 --> 00:08:20.480
we have to, what if you
have to go to we have to go

138
00:08:20.519 --> 00:08:24.439
to Mars. I don't think that
there's ever going to be a point where

139
00:08:26.040 --> 00:08:30.879
living on Mars or the Moon,
if that's even a possibility, is going

140
00:08:30.920 --> 00:08:35.200
to be better than living on Earth. I know, global warming and blah

141
00:08:35.279 --> 00:08:39.320
blah blah, but I'm just kidding. I do believe. For the record,

142
00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:43.879
I do believe in global warming,
warning warming, but I don't know

143
00:08:43.960 --> 00:08:46.440
what could happen, Like, are
we going to get hit by an asteroid

144
00:08:46.440 --> 00:08:48.799
and we all need to like jet
off to a different planet or something.

145
00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:52.320
Maybe I don't know. I mean
there's possibility. I also know nothing about

146
00:08:52.360 --> 00:08:58.840
science, so I have no idea
what an actual possibility is. The okay

147
00:08:58.879 --> 00:09:01.600
this one says Hiologeny. You mentioned
A Court of Thorns and Roses yesterday and

148
00:09:01.679 --> 00:09:05.399
I have been wondering if it's worth
reading. The synopsis on the back didn't

149
00:09:05.440 --> 00:09:07.840
hook me. Can you give me
a more detailed explanation of what it's like?

150
00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:11.039
I love reading Game of Thrones?
Is it similar to that? Fantasy?

151
00:09:11.080 --> 00:09:13.799
Wise? My new Year's resolution is
to read more, and a new

152
00:09:13.799 --> 00:09:16.639
series would help me achieve that.
Shout out to the Goodreads app download it

153
00:09:16.679 --> 00:09:20.240
if you want to read more to
got my staff writer Sticker and I am

154
00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:24.200
so excited. Thanks Jessica. So, A Court of Thorns and Roses is

155
00:09:24.200 --> 00:09:31.080
a series that involves fairies and humans. So there's like a mortal realm and

156
00:09:31.159 --> 00:09:35.200
then there's like the fairylands and something
happens where a mortal has to go live

157
00:09:35.240 --> 00:09:39.159
with a fairy And I don't want
to spoil too much of it because I

158
00:09:39.240 --> 00:09:41.919
know like a lot on the book, like the backs of the books,

159
00:09:43.440 --> 00:09:46.559
it is very vague and it's hard
because I had no idea what I was

160
00:09:46.600 --> 00:09:50.200
going into reading it, because the
back of the books don't give a good

161
00:09:50.240 --> 00:09:54.879
description. But just know that there's
like a lot of deceit, there is

162
00:09:54.000 --> 00:10:00.519
magic. I don't know that fantasy
wise, I wouldn't necessarily come prot to

163
00:10:00.600 --> 00:10:03.320
Game of Thrones. I mean,
there's a lot of weird things that happen

164
00:10:03.399 --> 00:10:05.159
in it. I'm only on the
second book, and I think there's four

165
00:10:05.240 --> 00:10:09.679
or five, but there is a
lot of sexual stuff in it, lot

166
00:10:09.720 --> 00:10:13.840
of it. And I'm only on
page thirty in the second book, and

167
00:10:13.879 --> 00:10:16.279
there was already a very spicy scene. And I was reading it on the

168
00:10:16.320 --> 00:10:20.120
airplane yesterday and I felt like I
shouldn't have been, Like I felt like

169
00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:24.000
I was watching porn on my phone
reading that like a couple pages of that

170
00:10:24.120 --> 00:10:26.720
sex scene, Like I felt like
I shouldn't have been doing it, but

171
00:10:26.799 --> 00:10:33.639
I couldn't help myself. So anyways, it I'm not doing a good job

172
00:10:33.720 --> 00:10:37.840
describing it, Jessica, because I
feel like I'm going to spoiler. I'll

173
00:10:37.879 --> 00:10:41.879
spoil too much of it, but
I will say it's worth it from what

174
00:10:43.000 --> 00:10:46.080
I've read so far. And I
also heard that like the first book is

175
00:10:46.120 --> 00:10:48.200
more like you pay your dues and
then everything else is a little bit more

176
00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:52.960
exciting, a little bit spicier.
But yeah, it's about a lot of

177
00:10:52.000 --> 00:10:58.240
like human and fairy relationships and stuff
like that. So anyways, there's that.

178
00:10:58.360 --> 00:11:01.919
You know, we don't have a
lot of emails for the Minnesota Goodbye

179
00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:05.600
