It's the Minnesota Goodbye with Jenny and Drake. Hi, Hi, Drake,
how are you? I'm good? Are you sleepy today? Like me?
A little bit? Yeah? This Monday? You know, no, it's
it is Monday. I also Monday. I'm getting it. I drink a
lot yesterday too, and I think that has a little bit to do with
it. What were you consuming? I was doing some beer and then I
was drinking a lot of champagne. Champagne. Yeah, champagne and beer.
Quite a combo. Yeah, champagne bait. I am you have champagne taste?
I do, all right. We'll dive into a couple of emails.
We might skip some just because some of them are addressed to Dave, so
we'll try to get to ones that are just to nobody in particular. It
says, Hi, Dave and Gang. I love your show and listen all
the way from in Nashville, Tennessee. I was listening to the Minnesota Goodbye
when you discuss throwing stuff away. My dad passed away on January fifth this
year. I'm sorry for your loss. His office was a testament to all
his kids and great grandkids. One of the things that everyone was happy and
surprised to see was the random stuff he saved. For example, my now
thirty year old son gave my dad a painted ceramic airplane when he was six.
My dad still had that on display. There are no words as I
scoop that up and now have it proudly on display with a picture of my
dad opening that very same gift. What made this more remarkable is my dad
had moved to a new state and a couple of homes since then. This
was not just something he did not throw away, but something he decided to
save. So save some of that random stuff. We really have no idea
the impact it will have someday. My dad had graduation announcements, birth announcements,
saying cards not everyone, but not everything, but everyone was represented.
Losing my dad was incredibly hard, But that airplane brings me a smile.
Keep up the great work. If you have a staff writer, Sticker would
love it all. Love all the way from Nashville, Tennessee. That comes
from Bernice. That is so sweet. I know that Dave is like going
through this phase of life of trying to get rid of a ton of stuff,
and it's hard because he's got so many of the kids stuff I don't
know what to talk, It's like whatever, But I think my parents are
kind of in that phase too. Did your parents hold on to a lot
of your stuff? Yeah, They've got like a like just a big old
bucket full of like all my elementary school projects that I would bring home.
There's some like Christmas tree ornaments that they even still put up on, like
the Christmas tree every year that I made when I was younger. So yeah,
they definitely do still hang on to some of that some of that stuff
for sure. Yeah. I am like the biggest proponent of getting rid of
things that do not serve a purpose a lot of times. So I have
not hung up hung on to a lot of things in life, but I
do know that it probably will be hard if I ever have kids to throw
things out. I will call my sister out. Or I'm not calling her
out because I know a lot of parents do this. But my sister sent
a video the other day of my niece literally going through the garbage because sister
had just thrown on a bunch of random things she had brought home from school,
and she was like, no, I want to keep this. I
think you should keep and she was like she found it, and like my
sister thought she didn't, and I think she went in there to throw something
out, and my niece was like pulling all this stuff on and was upset,
or she wasn't upset, but he's like, Mom, why are you
doing this? She's only she's gonna be five in April. So it's so
cute. Anyways, all right, let's move on to our next email.
Hey, Morning Show, was just listening to the podcast from Friday about the
girl that emailed in wondering if she should reach out to a former excess family
member to see how the ex is doing because her ex has her blocked on
social media? Dave, you, can you explain this to me? Was
this during the main show or on Minnesota Goodbye? So wait, she's talking
about that ex. It says, was just listening to the podcast from Friday
about the girl that emailed in wondering if she should reach out to a former
excess family member to see how the ex is doing because her ex has her
blocked on social media. That must be that doesn't ring about so that must
have been just on the Minnesota by Okay, so it says Dave, you
and Bailey both said yes, the emailer should reach out to the relative.
What no, no, no, no, no, no no. They
have you blocked for a reason because they don't want you to know how they're
doing. It would be one thing to message if they weren't blocked, but
if you're still blocked ten years later, Nope. I blocked my ex when
we divorced and it's been ten plus years and I still don't want him to
know how I am. And please, for the love of God, don't
reach out to their family. If your X wanted you to know about their
life, they could easily unblock you, and yet ten years later they have
chosen not to. Just my two cents on this subject, hope you all
have a lovely week. That comes from Jillian. Obviously, Drake and I
were not here for this email. I'd be curious to know what their argument
was for that. From the cliff notes of it of sounding like if the
person should reach out to their ex but they've been blocked, Yeah, I
would be on the side of Gillian, who just emailed then two, No,
you don't reach out. You don't reach out to that person exactly.
Yeah, I know, I want to know what David. I guess it's
just that they both said, yes, they should reach out to a relative.
I also think it's a little strange when you have to reach out to
someone else to find out information about someone. Yeah, because I had friend
once who reached out to this guy who she had like she'd become pretty obsessed
with him, and then the guy did her dirty and she reached out to
his friend asking for information. And she told me all this and she asked
my opinion about it, and I go, I think you have your answer
because you're reaching out to his friend, and I don't think you should have
had to do that. I think you shouldn't have done it. I don't
think you should have had to do that. This person is clearly a jerk,
and when you're going jumping through hoops to find out some information about like
your relationship, I think that's like a step too far for sure. If
Drake and I are getting it wrong because we were not here and we didn't
hear the original email, you are more than welcome to email us back and
let us know. But I am on the side of yours, Jillian,
And so this is Drake I think about No, probably don't reach out to
the person's relative who has you blocked. Okay, let's see this. One
says I heard Jenny read a bunch of random facts on the radio the other
day. Here's mine, Dave, you'll like it too well. I'll tell
him when he gets back on Wednesday. Carol's Spinney or Spiny was the man
who voiced and puppeteered Big Big since the beginning of Sesame Street in the nineteen
sixties. Oh, it's Big Bird. But they put Big Big and I
was like, who's Big Big on Sesame Street. I don't know who they're
talking about. Okay, anyways, they voiced big Birds since the beginning of
Sesame Street in the nineteen sixties. In the early nineteen eighties, when NASA
was falling out of the public favor, they approached Carol to take Big Bird
to space on the nineteen eighty four Challenger mission to reignite the interest in NASA
with children. He went through the weeks and months of astronaut training, and
in his last weeks they had him put on the Big Bird suit to actually
get into the shuttle, and the costume wouldn't fit. They could not get
it in the doors of the shuttle, so then they had to scrape the
idea scrap the idea of taking Big Bird to space. This is when they
thought of the idea to do a national contest to take a teacher to space.
We all know this ends with the who horrible explosion of the Challenge Shuttle
in nineteen eighty four, carrying seven astronauts and a teacher, Christa mc mcalliliff.
Sorry, I actually should know how to say that, and I'm totally
but cheering her name who had won the contest. So this teacher won the
contest and unfortunately she passed away in that explosion. Had it not been for
the Big Bird being unable to physically fit in the rocket, Big Bird would
have been in that fatal explosion. I learned this from a great documentary called
I Am Big Bird, highlighting the life and career of Carol Spinny Spiny.
However you say it, it was fantastic. Get it out for a nerdy
documentary. Sometime you'll make my day every day. Thank you for all you
do. That comes from Jens. Dude. That's so crazy, Like I
got like really weird goosebumps just thinking about that. You ever want to go
to space? Kinda yeah, I do. I kind of want to Andrew
and I've been watching for All Mankind, and I know I've talked about it
a million times. And it's not a new show. There's four seasons out
of it already, but it's all about space travel and going to the Moon
and Mars and all this stuff. I was like, listen, I'm good
here on planet Earth. Planet Earth has everything I need. It has oxygen,
it has gravity, it allows me to breathe without having a space suit
on. I am good living here. So I think I'm going to pass
if like space travel becomes like a thing in our lifetime. I don't think
there's ever going to be a desire for me to go up there. If
we have to, what if you have to go to we have to go
to Mars. I don't think that there's ever going to be a point where
living on Mars or the Moon, if that's even a possibility, is going
to be better than living on Earth. I know, global warming and blah
blah blah, but I'm just kidding. I do believe. For the record,
I do believe in global warming, warning warming, but I don't know
what could happen, Like, are we going to get hit by an asteroid
and we all need to like jet off to a different planet or something.
Maybe I don't know. I mean there's possibility. I also know nothing about
science, so I have no idea what an actual possibility is. The okay
this one says Hiologeny. You mentioned A Court of Thorns and Roses yesterday and
I have been wondering if it's worth reading. The synopsis on the back didn't
hook me. Can you give me a more detailed explanation of what it's like?
I love reading Game of Thrones? Is it similar to that? Fantasy?
Wise? My new Year's resolution is to read more, and a new
series would help me achieve that. Shout out to the Goodreads app download it
if you want to read more to got my staff writer Sticker and I am
so excited. Thanks Jessica. So, A Court of Thorns and Roses is
a series that involves fairies and humans. So there's like a mortal realm and
then there's like the fairylands and something happens where a mortal has to go live
with a fairy And I don't want to spoil too much of it because I
know like a lot on the book, like the backs of the books,
it is very vague and it's hard because I had no idea what I was
going into reading it, because the back of the books don't give a good
description. But just know that there's like a lot of deceit, there is
magic. I don't know that fantasy wise, I wouldn't necessarily come prot to
Game of Thrones. I mean, there's a lot of weird things that happen
in it. I'm only on the second book, and I think there's four
or five, but there is a lot of sexual stuff in it, lot
of it. And I'm only on page thirty in the second book, and
there was already a very spicy scene. And I was reading it on the
airplane yesterday and I felt like I shouldn't have been, Like I felt like
I was watching porn on my phone reading that like a couple pages of that
sex scene, Like I felt like I shouldn't have been doing it, but
I couldn't help myself. So anyways, it I'm not doing a good job
describing it, Jessica, because I feel like I'm going to spoiler. I'll
spoil too much of it, but I will say it's worth it from what
I've read so far. And I also heard that like the first book is
more like you pay your dues and then everything else is a little bit more
exciting, a little bit spicier. But yeah, it's about a lot of
like human and fairy relationships and stuff like that. So anyways, there's that.
You know, we don't have a lot of emails for the Minnesota Goodbye
today, so if you have an email, it's just Drake and myself.
So if you want something specifically, you want our opinion on something, you
want to tell us we suck. I'm just kidding, please please ownt email
