WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.560 --> 00:00:06.240 Friday weekend version of the Minnesoda Goodbye. We're going to go back to one 2 00:00:06.240 --> 00:00:08.320 that came in a couple of days ago that I did not get a chance 3 00:00:08.359 --> 00:00:11.279 to read from a milio. What do you look for to get on the 4 00:00:11.359 --> 00:00:15.640 radio if you actually have the talent? That is such a really interesting question, 5 00:00:15.720 --> 00:00:17.960 Jenny. Let's dive into this one a little bit. What do you 6 00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:20.600 look for to get on the radio if you actually have the talent? So 7 00:00:20.800 --> 00:00:23.280 I think Amelia is saying, Hey, I'd love to be on the radio. 8 00:00:23.800 --> 00:00:26.120 How do I get on the radio? Or what do you look for? 9 00:00:28.079 --> 00:00:31.559 A big personality? I think that's the main thing, is a big 10 00:00:31.600 --> 00:00:36.399 personality. Quiet doesn't work. Yeah, Carson would never He's a wonderful, 11 00:00:36.439 --> 00:00:40.200 lovely person, but he would never be good on the radio. But I 12 00:00:40.240 --> 00:00:45.560 would say a big personality and a willingness to put yourself out there. And 13 00:00:45.920 --> 00:00:48.280 I'm going to tell you just really quick. I was at my gym the 14 00:00:48.320 --> 00:00:53.399 other day and I heard one of the trainers talking to some clients and I 15 00:00:53.439 --> 00:00:57.719 said, she would be a potential good radio person because she's got a big 16 00:00:57.799 --> 00:01:00.399 personality and she doesn't talk like that. Because there's some people that get on 17 00:01:00.439 --> 00:01:04.519 the radio, and it's like, Okay, that might work for podcasting maybe, 18 00:01:04.760 --> 00:01:07.239 but on the radio you have to bring a certain amount of energy, 19 00:01:07.359 --> 00:01:11.359 right, So what else you need to bring to the radio? Jenny, 20 00:01:11.359 --> 00:01:15.239 Well, I think you pretty much covered the main things because I think you 21 00:01:15.319 --> 00:01:18.920 could have a big personality, but you're not necessarily okay with public speaking, 22 00:01:18.920 --> 00:01:23.040 because that's my boyfriend. He is very nervous when it comes to public speaking. 23 00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:25.519 So you kind of just got to know if you have that quality or 24 00:01:25.560 --> 00:01:27.959 not. I always loved getting in front of the classroom and like presenting a 25 00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:32.319 project or something that was very comfortable for me. But yeah, you could 26 00:01:32.400 --> 00:01:34.959 have a big personality, but you might not necessarily love being in front of 27 00:01:36.040 --> 00:01:40.319 a microphone, So you have to like distinguish if you have that or not. 28 00:01:41.640 --> 00:01:46.319 But I would say, also, ugh, I'm trying to think that's 29 00:01:46.359 --> 00:01:49.319 like the main thing because everything else is more like technical behind the scenes of 30 00:01:49.359 --> 00:01:52.040 like what else you need which is easy to learn? Ye, Honestly, 31 00:01:52.079 --> 00:01:56.239 there's nothing that we do technically that's difficult to learn. I would say, 32 00:01:56.280 --> 00:01:59.159 also, be willing to put yourself out there, and by that I mean, 33 00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:04.439 you know how a dancer, they're so fucking good. Like you watch 34 00:02:04.480 --> 00:02:07.120 the Timberwolves dancers, or a high school dance team or a college dance team. 35 00:02:07.520 --> 00:02:10.520 They're not shy about it. They put themselves out there, they want 36 00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:15.599 you to watch. They take a chance. Whereas if I had to dance 37 00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:19.319 in front of a crowd, I'd feel so stupid. Yeah that's not me. 38 00:02:19.960 --> 00:02:23.080 But on the radio, I put myself out there. I take chances. 39 00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:24.639 I say things to kind of poke the bear once in a while, 40 00:02:25.159 --> 00:02:29.840 and you know, stir things up, or I'll talk to the story, 41 00:02:29.879 --> 00:02:32.159 you know, the nerf ball story, or how I had the dream the 42 00:02:32.159 --> 00:02:37.280 other night that I was cheating on Susan. And most people would not want 43 00:02:37.319 --> 00:02:38.759 to put out. And that's one thing that holds a lot of people back 44 00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:42.879 in this business is we've brought people in and they're like, yeah, well 45 00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:45.960 I can't talk about my boyfriend. Well you can't talk about your boyfriend. 46 00:02:46.039 --> 00:02:49.599 Well that's one of the biggest things we talk about is our relationships, right, 47 00:02:49.960 --> 00:02:53.960 So, but there is a level of like privacy we keep. There 48 00:02:53.080 --> 00:02:57.319 is a level you do not have to tell everything, but you have to 49 00:02:57.319 --> 00:03:00.039 be willing to talk about quite a bit more than you Probably I would feel 50 00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:04.479 comfortable with a normal coworker or something so true. There have been several things 51 00:03:04.479 --> 00:03:07.199 in my life in the past ten or fifteen years that I would never want 52 00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:09.319 to talk about, and I don't just like you know what. You might 53 00:03:09.319 --> 00:03:13.639 share things with your partner that you would never share with your friend, or 54 00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:15.639 you might share things with your friend that you would never share with your partner. 55 00:03:16.120 --> 00:03:20.879 And I will also say this, and it is not to take a 56 00:03:20.919 --> 00:03:23.199 dig at anybody who thinks that they're ready to be on the radio, but 57 00:03:23.400 --> 00:03:28.159 I have learned over the years that many people think that they can do what 58 00:03:28.280 --> 00:03:31.680 we do because we make it sound easy. Yeah, and I'm not trying 59 00:03:31.680 --> 00:03:36.240 to pat us on the back, but we make it sound easy. To 60 00:03:37.520 --> 00:03:39.719 know when to shut up and let Jenny talk, and Jenny to react to 61 00:03:39.800 --> 00:03:46.000 what I'm saying, and to listen to each other and know when something's dying 62 00:03:46.039 --> 00:03:49.159 off to let it go, and when something's not happening, like Jenny, 63 00:03:49.199 --> 00:03:52.240 what you do this weekend and there's really nothing there, You don't sit there 64 00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:55.240 and go, oh yeah, keep going, Oh that sounds really fun. 65 00:03:55.240 --> 00:04:00.599 You're gonna get brunch with your girlfriend that you've seen. That's the end of 66 00:04:00.639 --> 00:04:03.479 the story. Like you don't go. There was a an intern on the 67 00:04:03.479 --> 00:04:08.680 show and she was she's a wonderful person. And Fallon and I used to 68 00:04:08.759 --> 00:04:11.360 joke about it because we said, hey, you'd be really great on the 69 00:04:11.439 --> 00:04:14.520 radio. You get a big personality. Come in on Monday with some really 70 00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:16.439 cool stories. Let us know what you did over the weekend. And we 71 00:04:16.480 --> 00:04:19.839 thought, oh, she'd have something about a bad blind date or you know, 72 00:04:20.399 --> 00:04:25.319 something that she got into a fight at a bar or something. Whatever 73 00:04:25.560 --> 00:04:28.000 she comes in, she's I got such a great story. I got, 74 00:04:28.040 --> 00:04:30.720 oh good, we got such a great story. And her story was my 75 00:04:30.800 --> 00:04:34.000 mom and I made the most delicious cookies. Fucking shut up? Are you 76 00:04:34.120 --> 00:04:38.720 serious? And it was like, that's that's so. I think a lot 77 00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:44.319 of people think that they can be on the radio, but I don't tell 78 00:04:44.319 --> 00:04:46.800 myself that I can do your job for In other words, if you are 79 00:04:46.839 --> 00:04:53.000 a salesperson for Medtronic, you make it look easy, but I could never 80 00:04:53.160 --> 00:04:57.160 do what you do. Yeah, you crunch numbers all day, or you're 81 00:04:57.199 --> 00:05:00.399 a trainer, or you sell cosmetics. You make it look easy, but 82 00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:04.000 I could never do what you do because you're good at it. Yep, 83 00:05:04.240 --> 00:05:09.040 I agree, all right, So there you go, Amelio. As far 84 00:05:09.040 --> 00:05:11.199 as getting on the radio, I don't even know how to tell people how 85 00:05:11.199 --> 00:05:14.839 to get a job in radio anymore. And it's true, I don't. 86 00:05:15.240 --> 00:05:18.720 Yeah, it's very different nowadays, and truthfully, there's not as many jobs 87 00:05:18.720 --> 00:05:24.600 out there period. It's very true. Okay. I did send out a 88 00:05:24.720 --> 00:05:29.360 bunch of maybe twenty staff writers stickers last night, including one to Brianna in 89 00:05:29.519 --> 00:05:31.920 Thief River Falls, and they wrote something interesting, they said. Listening to 90 00:05:31.959 --> 00:05:35.000 the podcast, Bailey is back helping fill in, and it got me thinking, 91 00:05:35.319 --> 00:05:39.639 would it ever be possible to have a game day with Bailey and Benjamin? 92 00:05:39.680 --> 00:05:42.399 Possibly? Oh yeah, they're both very entertaining. I think it would 93 00:05:42.439 --> 00:05:45.560 make a fun show to listen to. I also think Vaunt should get promoted 94 00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:48.480 to be on the show full time with Fallon and Zach. I don't know 95 00:05:48.519 --> 00:05:51.759 that that would be a promotion, honestly, because he's got his own show 96 00:05:51.959 --> 00:05:57.600 now. Yeah, and Fallon plays more music in the afternoon, yep, 97 00:05:57.839 --> 00:06:00.800 so there'd be a lot of standing around. I don't think. You know, 98 00:06:00.879 --> 00:06:02.199 Vonn's on the show, and he's really good when he's on the show, 99 00:06:02.560 --> 00:06:05.560 but I think a lot of the time it's just Fallin and zachause they're 100 00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:10.240 limited more. They play more music, right, and so I think if 101 00:06:10.439 --> 00:06:12.879 we're on the afternoon show full time, he's doing a lot of standing around 102 00:06:12.920 --> 00:06:15.439 with his hands in his pockets. Yeah, but he's got his own show. 103 00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:17.439 Yeah, he does, which is big for him, especially because he's 104 00:06:17.680 --> 00:06:21.040 super young. He's like fresh out of college. Yes, it's very true. 105 00:06:23.279 --> 00:06:27.879 All right, here we go from Liz. Liz is a regular contributor 106 00:06:28.040 --> 00:06:30.879 and a staff writer. Dave, not sure if you did get this message 107 00:06:30.920 --> 00:06:34.040 before. I think I sent it after you left for your Magic convention. 108 00:06:35.720 --> 00:06:41.079 I just heard you mentioned mocktails on yesterday's show and hoping you saw that they 109 00:06:41.199 --> 00:06:45.560 aren't sold out. Bootleg I mentioned is a citrusy, minty kind of drink, 110 00:06:45.560 --> 00:06:48.240 and Paloma is greate fruity. So we were talking about dry January and 111 00:06:48.319 --> 00:06:54.680 different cocktails. I've been doing dry January. I've not had a drink since 112 00:06:54.879 --> 00:06:58.959 eleven forty five on New Year's Eve, and I feel great and I sleep 113 00:06:59.040 --> 00:07:02.040 better, and I think of all all the calories that I haven't consumed and 114 00:07:02.079 --> 00:07:05.879 all the damage that I haven't done to my body. Because if you drink 115 00:07:05.920 --> 00:07:10.800 too much, it'll damage your body. Anyway, we all know that most 116 00:07:10.839 --> 00:07:13.480 people don't drink too much and don't have to worry about it. I did 117 00:07:13.519 --> 00:07:17.800 find out that the mocktail that I've been drinking is kind of like a Manhattan 118 00:07:17.879 --> 00:07:21.240 bourbon Y kind of a thing. I looked on the can last night and 119 00:07:21.279 --> 00:07:29.040 it does have alcohol less than zero point five percent alcoholka, which in a 120 00:07:29.079 --> 00:07:32.199 twelve ounce can is probably about a t spoon of alcohol. And I didn't 121 00:07:32.279 --> 00:07:35.720 like that. I mean, that's almost nothing, but I didn't like that. 122 00:07:35.879 --> 00:07:40.040 Is that how na beers are? Do they have a tiny percentage? 123 00:07:40.240 --> 00:07:44.079 Some of them do. Look at the label, like Heineken zero point zero 124 00:07:44.199 --> 00:07:49.639 has no alcohol, okay, whereas like the Coures one or whatever might have 125 00:07:49.759 --> 00:07:55.800 a lial bit like a minute amount of alcohol. But I was kind of 126 00:07:55.839 --> 00:07:59.160 disappointed because I'm still going to say that I haven't had an alcoholic drink all 127 00:07:59.199 --> 00:08:03.680 through January, because one tea spoon of alcohol and I'll have two of those 128 00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:09.160 a night, does not make a drink to me. You drink Nike Will 129 00:08:09.319 --> 00:08:11.879 Nike Will's got more alcohol in it than that, and I wouldn't count that 130 00:08:11.920 --> 00:08:16.680 as drinking alcohol either. But I became aware and I'm probably not going to 131 00:08:16.720 --> 00:08:20.120 buy those again because I don't want any alcohol. Okay, good for you, 132 00:08:20.399 --> 00:08:24.879 damn it, Jenny, next one. Hello, first time writer, 133 00:08:26.519 --> 00:08:31.799 but everyday listener. An fyi regarding the call of Guard colon cancer test that 134 00:08:31.879 --> 00:08:35.879 was mentioned earlier this week, don't do it. If anything shows up positive, 135 00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:43.360 insurance will not pay for your colonoscopy as it changes from preventative to diagnostic. 136 00:08:43.919 --> 00:08:48.240 This procedure is quite expensive, so suck it up, do the prep. 137 00:08:48.320 --> 00:08:50.679 Take a nice little nap as your bum is being inspected. Thanks for 138 00:08:50.720 --> 00:08:54.080 all the laughs and cuss words. Fuck yeah, I said that, not 139 00:08:54.159 --> 00:08:58.960 her mixed my day. Thank you from Ginger so interesting. So in other 140 00:08:58.000 --> 00:09:03.080 words, I'll tell you this one. Don't be afraid of a colonoscopy. 141 00:09:01.960 --> 00:09:07.639 They're nothing. The worst part is getting the needle in your vein for the 142 00:09:07.679 --> 00:09:11.679 anesthetic. You don't remember something going up your ass. You don't feel it 143 00:09:11.720 --> 00:09:13.759 going up your ass. It's small. It's the size of a pencil. 144 00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:20.080 It's not like some big giant porn dildo that's going up your ass, although 145 00:09:20.159 --> 00:09:24.559 I yeah, I know, because I would like, seriously, I would 146 00:09:24.600 --> 00:09:28.440 like one of those big giant porn dildos where you go no way is she 147 00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:33.159 gonna do. Oh wow, oh look at Susan. Get in here. 148 00:09:33.200 --> 00:09:37.519 Look at this girl. Wow, you got a pumpkin upper. Asses. 149 00:09:37.919 --> 00:09:41.279 God, Okay, Jenny's turning red. No, I'm not. I'm trying 150 00:09:41.279 --> 00:09:43.960 to figure out if I can name this big giant p d or something like 151 00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:54.480 that big giant pumpkin dildo. Oh that's funny. All right, here we 152 00:09:54.559 --> 00:09:58.799 go from Nicole. Here's some random thoughts you guys had talked about across my 153 00:09:58.879 --> 00:10:01.360 mind. I should be working, but I am burnt out. First, 154 00:10:01.519 --> 00:10:05.159 Jenny, while I don't give a dart lick about you using the term Friday 155 00:10:05.240 --> 00:10:09.720 junior, it is my belief that Thursday is in fact not the junior to 156 00:10:09.799 --> 00:10:15.840 Friday Junior comes after the senior. So clearly Saturday is Friday Junior. Your 157 00:10:15.879 --> 00:10:20.399 thoughts, Okay, I see your point. I don't know where I started 158 00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:24.960 hearing Friday junior from. I heard and actually someone I think I started hearing 159 00:10:26.000 --> 00:10:28.679 it that it was junior Friday. I was calling a junior Friday and then 160 00:10:28.720 --> 00:10:30.759 someone was like, no, it would be Friday junior. So I did 161 00:10:30.799 --> 00:10:35.360 change that. So I mean, maybe I have removed using that for the 162 00:10:35.440 --> 00:10:37.159 last couple of Wather reports on my Thursday, I notice that. Yeah, 163 00:10:37.279 --> 00:10:41.080 yeah, because I know that some people were annoyed. But I also now 164 00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:45.320 get sent so many messages from people saying like It's like I got a real 165 00:10:45.399 --> 00:10:48.320 yesterday of someone being like, happy Friday, Junior, and I was like, 166 00:10:48.360 --> 00:10:50.399 all right, it's still something that a lot of people like, so 167 00:10:50.440 --> 00:10:54.559 I'll probably still use it. I like it because it is a signal. 168 00:10:54.600 --> 00:10:58.600 It's a positive signal that hey, it's almost Friday. Yeah, and let's 169 00:10:58.600 --> 00:11:03.320 see, I open the wrong tab, so give me one second to open 170 00:11:03.320 --> 00:11:07.480 the correct tab, and here we go. She goes on to say I 171 00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:11.000 recently came across the Amazon Music platform and found out they have far less commercial 172 00:11:11.039 --> 00:11:16.240 interruptions than the other platforms. Also, it's although it is a bit more 173 00:11:16.240 --> 00:11:20.200 clunky and not very user friendly. So if you have problems with commercials on 174 00:11:20.240 --> 00:11:24.080 the iHeart platform, that's their problem. I would love to listen. Have 175 00:11:24.159 --> 00:11:26.399 you listen on the iHeart platform, because we get credit for that, and 176 00:11:26.440 --> 00:11:31.240 we don't get credit on the Amazon platform. I believe no, we get 177 00:11:31.399 --> 00:11:33.039 credit for all streaming we do. Okay, listen wherever you want to. 178 00:11:33.080 --> 00:11:37.240 When iHeart gets it right, then go back to iHeart. I do love 179 00:11:37.279 --> 00:11:41.600 the iHeart platform because it's got radio shows on it. Amazon does not, 180 00:11:41.960 --> 00:11:45.519 so you can listen to his live on the iHeart platform. Thanksgiving think Fast 181 00:11:45.559 --> 00:11:48.440 in January had me giggling hard. So it was Wednesday on the show, 182 00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:52.919 I play the theme Da da da d Okay, it's time for think Fast. 183 00:11:54.000 --> 00:11:56.399 Jenny's hosting. Jenny's like, no, you're hosting. I'm like, 184 00:11:56.480 --> 00:12:01.320 I am. I missed it in our show notes, so I didn't have 185 00:12:01.320 --> 00:12:05.559 one written because we write those ourselves. So I open up the notesapp on 186 00:12:05.600 --> 00:12:07.639 my phone. I searched for think fast and it came up with a Thanksgiving 187 00:12:07.720 --> 00:12:11.440 thin Fast. So a couple of days ago we did Thanksgiving theme think Fast 188 00:12:11.440 --> 00:12:16.039 in January. I was cracking up when Jenny or Drake would say, well, 189 00:12:16.039 --> 00:12:16.960 what word did you have in mind? And Day would say, I 190 00:12:16.960 --> 00:12:20.360 don't know. I wrote it four months ago. L O l O l 191 00:12:20.399 --> 00:12:22.799 O l ol. Jenny said gravy is not a side, then tried to 192 00:12:22.879 --> 00:12:28.440 use Ranch as a side for a name. I did name aside that starts 193 00:12:28.480 --> 00:12:33.399 with R. Make it makes sense. By the way, Rolls was the 194 00:12:33.480 --> 00:12:39.600 correct dancer, not Ranch Dah. Thanks for the laughs, Happy Junior Friday 195 00:12:39.639 --> 00:12:43.000 Eve. Get it because Saturday is Friday Junior and today is the eve of 196 00:12:43.039 --> 00:12:45.879 that day. Anyway, Bye, Nicole, Nicole. If you don't have 197 00:12:45.919 --> 00:12:48.559 a staff writer sticker, you deserve one. Make sure you send me your 198 00:12:50.240 --> 00:12:56.559 name and email at our mailing address so I can do that one. Okay, 199 00:12:56.879 --> 00:12:58.559 this is one we're going to talk about. I think, uh oh, 200 00:12:58.639 --> 00:13:01.440 never mind. Okay, here we go. This is from Rnita. 201 00:13:01.519 --> 00:13:07.039 Rinita is a longtime listener, and she just said don't She said, don't 202 00:13:07.039 --> 00:13:09.720 say my name. But if you did, it's already good. I married 203 00:13:09.759 --> 00:13:13.639 my safe choice. We talked about whether we tend to gravitate toward a safe 204 00:13:13.759 --> 00:13:18.840 choice. There may be a little bit more boring. They're not as dynamite 205 00:13:18.840 --> 00:13:22.519 in the bedroom, they don't have the interesting hobbies. You don't always have 206 00:13:22.559 --> 00:13:28.639 fun wherever you go with them, but they're safe. I was very tempted 207 00:13:28.679 --> 00:13:31.720 to call off my wedding because I was so hung up on an ex boyfriend 208 00:13:31.759 --> 00:13:35.919 who would have been my not so safe choice. Fast forward twelve years and 209 00:13:37.039 --> 00:13:41.519 this guy, the not so safe choice, became a convicted pedophile. Oh 210 00:13:41.600 --> 00:13:46.360 no, WHOA. I also got divorced that year. Apparently my safe choice 211 00:13:46.399 --> 00:13:48.639 was still never the right choice. I am now married to my soulmate, 212 00:13:48.679 --> 00:13:52.600 who I would have not considered a safe choice in the beginning, but we 213 00:13:52.639 --> 00:13:56.480 are so very much in love and our careers of skyrocket over the past twelve 214 00:13:56.559 --> 00:14:01.960 years. So super safe now. That's all II from Rinita. Thanks Rinita. 215 00:14:01.120 --> 00:14:05.600 What makes a relationship feel safe? They don't have any bad habits, 216 00:14:05.600 --> 00:14:09.200 they don't drink too much. They're predictable, sometimes a little too predictable. 217 00:14:09.279 --> 00:14:11.399 Like I come home every day, I know Susan's going to be on the 218 00:14:11.399 --> 00:14:16.080 couch playing on her phone. Not every day, but a little too Like 219 00:14:16.120 --> 00:14:18.399 I went out to play cribbage last night. I came home. There she 220 00:14:18.600 --> 00:14:22.559 was on her phone on the couch. Yeah, a little bit too predictable. 221 00:14:22.600 --> 00:14:26.679 Sometimes I'm scared I'm a safe choice for Andrew then, because I'm the 222 00:14:26.679 --> 00:14:30.320 one who's You're not though you do a lot of stuff, Yeah, I 223 00:14:30.320 --> 00:14:35.039 guess. But during the week I am not as social as I used to 224 00:14:35.039 --> 00:14:37.039 be. I mean mostly in the winter. In the summertime, I definitely 225 00:14:37.120 --> 00:14:41.159 get outside a little bit more, like play kickball and stuff. But I 226 00:14:41.200 --> 00:14:45.519 do think about the fact that Andrew always knows my schedule during the week. 227 00:14:45.600 --> 00:14:48.360 I never know what he's up to because his schedule's all over the place half 228 00:14:48.399 --> 00:14:50.159 the time. But it's like he knew I would be sitting on the couch 229 00:14:50.200 --> 00:14:52.840 when he got home last night, because what else was I going to be 230 00:14:52.840 --> 00:14:58.279 doing. But you are an interesting person. You do a lot of fitness 231 00:14:58.279 --> 00:15:03.879 stuff. Yeah, go snowboard, you go out socially, You're an interesting 232 00:15:05.039 --> 00:15:09.440 person. And I think that Susan and I are both boring to each other 233 00:15:09.519 --> 00:15:11.320 a little bit too frequently, Like this weekend, we have no plans. 234 00:15:11.480 --> 00:15:15.399 Yeah, and I get tired of having no plans. So I'm gonna go 235 00:15:15.399 --> 00:15:18.960 play cribbage with my friend Melanie tomorrow. And I went played cribbage with my 236 00:15:18.960 --> 00:15:20.480 friend Wendy last night. And people go, why do you have all women 237 00:15:20.519 --> 00:15:22.919 friends? I'm like, I don't. I've got Curtis and I've got Nate, 238 00:15:24.639 --> 00:15:28.240 but I do probably have more women friends. And I don't know, 239 00:15:28.279 --> 00:15:31.720 Maybe I just get along here with women. Yeah, I don't know. 240 00:15:31.960 --> 00:15:35.000 Some people are like that. I'm like the girl at your office that has 241 00:15:35.080 --> 00:15:39.320 more guy friends. Oh, we all hate her. I'm just kidd anything. 242 00:15:39.320 --> 00:15:41.879 But she's not banging them, She's just hang She's one of the dude, 243 00:15:41.879 --> 00:15:45.000 maybe I'm one of the girls. I'm kidding, because when I was 244 00:15:45.120 --> 00:15:48.440 single, I had I still have really good guy friends. But it's like, 245 00:15:48.879 --> 00:15:52.399 I just don't hang out with as many people like now that I'm in 246 00:15:52.440 --> 00:15:54.200 a relationship. But when I was single, I had so many, like 247 00:15:54.240 --> 00:15:56.639 guy friends. I'd just go grab a drink with every once in a while 248 00:15:56.679 --> 00:16:00.000 and whatever. And it was very much platonic regards of what people think, 249 00:16:00.320 --> 00:16:03.120 whether like you think, yeah, whether they can think that you can have 250 00:16:03.159 --> 00:16:07.960 a platonic relationship of someone you could be attracted to. But no, I 251 00:16:07.039 --> 00:16:11.600 have a lot of guy friends too. Next one from Kelly Jenny, was 252 00:16:11.639 --> 00:16:17.639 Andrew your previous relationship, that your heart broken? That that was your heart 253 00:16:17.639 --> 00:16:21.600 broken that you would mention sometimes before you reconnected. Was he your heartbroken? 254 00:16:21.639 --> 00:16:26.120 One way? Yes? Next one, I couldn't care less. Why do 255 00:16:26.200 --> 00:16:29.840 they call it a near miss when it should be a near hit? That's 256 00:16:30.120 --> 00:16:34.480 true. This phrase is often used when referring to almost getting in some sort 257 00:16:34.519 --> 00:16:38.200 of an accident. It was a near miss, it should be called the 258 00:16:38.320 --> 00:16:42.200 near hit. I've never thought about that. Oh you're right, Kelly. 259 00:16:42.279 --> 00:16:45.879 You to serve a staff writer. Sticker send me your mailing address. Last 260 00:16:45.919 --> 00:16:48.919 one from Kelly. It says medical insurance and cost to the staff writer that 261 00:16:48.960 --> 00:16:53.240 wrote in a high medical costs Amen's sister, I see medical insurance, especially 262 00:16:53.279 --> 00:16:59.039 state insurance, get abused daily birth control. People get an IUD and want 263 00:16:59.080 --> 00:17:02.360 something different after am month when it's good for five to ten years. Now 264 00:17:02.399 --> 00:17:06.839 they want an explanation instead of or vice versa. Oh no, next plan. 265 00:17:07.160 --> 00:17:08.799 What explan on is the what is that? I don't know what that 266 00:17:08.880 --> 00:17:11.440 is? That's what I have. Nextllent on is the implant in your arm? 267 00:17:11.640 --> 00:17:15.200 Okay, Now a couple of weeks weeks later, they decide they do 268 00:17:15.359 --> 00:17:18.119 like an IUD better, so let's put another one of those in and take 269 00:17:18.160 --> 00:17:22.799 out this implant. It's expensive, but they don't have to pay for it 270 00:17:22.839 --> 00:17:25.920 because insurance covers it. All. Well, somebody is paying for it. 271 00:17:26.079 --> 00:17:30.799 Same with prescriptions for over the counter medicine. Can I get a prescription so 272 00:17:30.839 --> 00:17:33.960 I don't have to pay for it? Hashtag me too. I'm not sure 273 00:17:33.960 --> 00:17:37.039 why she put the me too in there, but okay, I'm confused. 274 00:17:37.160 --> 00:17:41.119 She's saying that people are using the system, the healthcare system. Yep, 275 00:17:41.160 --> 00:17:42.720 oh absolutely, yeah, people have figured out a way to work it. 276 00:17:44.119 --> 00:17:45.839 God, yeah, I would love someone to tell me how to because I 277 00:17:45.920 --> 00:17:48.920 have so much medical debts. Well I believe it. Well, I'm going 278 00:17:48.960 --> 00:17:52.119 to tell you somebody that I knew, And it really pissed me off because 279 00:17:52.160 --> 00:17:57.160 they were always crowing about what a wonderful, good person they were, and 280 00:17:57.200 --> 00:18:03.400 they were talking about how rich people should pay more taxes and how they're so 281 00:18:03.000 --> 00:18:07.880 virtuous and it's blah blah blah, and they they always do the right thing. 282 00:18:08.920 --> 00:18:15.079 Then they got their girlfriend pregnant and they weren't married, and the pregnancy 283 00:18:15.440 --> 00:18:22.279 wasn't covered. Somehow they lied and they pulled strings and they got her on 284 00:18:22.359 --> 00:18:29.559 the insurance by lying so they wouldn't have to pay this cheap motherfucker. It 285 00:18:29.720 --> 00:18:33.319 really pissed me off. They lied and cheated to get her on the insurance 286 00:18:33.319 --> 00:18:37.880 so it was covered. Yeah, because it was an uncovered pregnancy. They 287 00:18:37.880 --> 00:18:41.160 would have had to pay out of pocket just because they weren't married. Because 288 00:18:41.240 --> 00:18:45.960 I know a couple that's not married and she's on her boyfriend's insurance, like 289 00:18:47.000 --> 00:18:49.119 she was able to get on his insurance because she owns her own business, 290 00:18:49.119 --> 00:18:55.519 so she doesn't have healthcare through her business or whatever reason, she was not 291 00:18:55.640 --> 00:18:56.920 on his insurance and they were younger, so they were like, what do 292 00:18:56.960 --> 00:19:00.759 we need insurance for? Yeah, they did have the money for the pregnancy, 293 00:19:00.799 --> 00:19:04.200 but they spent it on their wedding instead, and I was just pissed. 294 00:19:04.240 --> 00:19:07.440 I was like, you sit and tell me how virtuous you are, 295 00:19:07.839 --> 00:19:11.559 yet you do shit like this, So what do you think? Okay, 296 00:19:11.599 --> 00:19:12.880 are we out of time? Yeah, we got a minute left. That 297 00:19:14.000 --> 00:19:18.000 sucks because we have so many more emails to get to. So we I 298 00:19:18.039 --> 00:19:21.680 mean, seriously, We've got another half a dozen emails to get to and 299 00:19:21.720 --> 00:19:25.400 I'm really bummed. But we'll get to him next week. So thanks to 300 00:19:26.079 --> 00:19:30.680 Emily and Andrew and Nikki and Alyssa and Becky and Jody. Will try to 301 00:19:30.680 --> 00:19:36.160 get your emails next week.
