00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:07.360
It's the Minnesota Goodbye, the Jenny
and Drake edition. Hello. All right,

2
00:00:07.440 --> 00:00:10.759
Dave's off for the next two days, so you're stuck with Drake and

3
00:00:10.759 --> 00:00:14.880
I for the Minnesota Goodbye today and
tomorrow. We will jump right into emails.

4
00:00:15.240 --> 00:00:17.320
This one says, Hey, guys, I'm cooking dinner listening to the

5
00:00:17.320 --> 00:00:20.320
Minnesota Goodbye, and I heard the
story about the person that took a run

6
00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:25.399
and took a shit by someone's backyard. I also listened to a podcast called

7
00:00:25.519 --> 00:00:28.640
I've Had It. I don't remember
the episode, but it was within the

8
00:00:28.719 --> 00:00:31.839
last month or two, and a
lady had emailed them telling them about a

9
00:00:31.839 --> 00:00:35.719
person taking a shit in their backyard
while on a run. They saw it

10
00:00:35.759 --> 00:00:40.560
happen and saw them wipe. Person
that emailed you said they had tissue in

11
00:00:40.640 --> 00:00:44.960
their pocket. The person on the
other podcast thought it was a premeditated shit

12
00:00:45.159 --> 00:00:48.719
because they had something to wipe with. Not sure if they are the same

13
00:00:48.759 --> 00:00:52.840
people, but how fucking crazy would
that be if they are. That's all.

14
00:00:52.920 --> 00:00:56.240
I have a great day, Shay. We've had a lot of like

15
00:00:56.359 --> 00:01:00.159
emergency Pooh stories lately, which Dave
put a cap off, I think because

16
00:01:00.240 --> 00:01:03.200
he brought it up. There was
one story that got brought up about it.

17
00:01:03.680 --> 00:01:07.159
I don't know the beginning of last
week, and he goes, if

18
00:01:07.159 --> 00:01:08.840
you have a story, email us. Well, then of course all these

19
00:01:08.879 --> 00:01:11.239
stories start coming in. He goes, all right, that's it. I'm

20
00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:14.519
capping it off. You need to
email it in the next week, and

21
00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:17.599
then we're not doing them anymore,
because I knew what he got himself into

22
00:01:17.640 --> 00:01:21.840
when he said, email us your
emergency Pooh stories. So anyway, Shay,

23
00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:26.519
that would be quite the funny coincidence
if it was the same person.

24
00:01:26.200 --> 00:01:30.480
All right, moving on, this
says, hello, my favorite morning show.

25
00:01:30.519 --> 00:01:34.760
This is Charise. I'm writing to
see if other listeners just knew when

26
00:01:34.799 --> 00:01:38.239
they met there happily ever After.
I think I've found my Oh you know,

27
00:01:38.319 --> 00:01:46.719
I think we've read this one,
Scharis before, but maybe I'm not

28
00:01:46.760 --> 00:01:49.359
rereading one. This came in yesterday. Did she send it in twice?

29
00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:53.920
Maybe, Charis, we've definitely talked
about this before on other Minnesota Goodbye,

30
00:01:55.000 --> 00:02:00.079
So i'd go say, within the
last few weeks, definitely go back and

31
00:02:00.239 --> 00:02:04.079
check out some episodes because we've talked
about meeting there happily ever after, and

32
00:02:04.120 --> 00:02:07.799
if you found them, if you
found that person once you've already been with

33
00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:13.159
someone else, So yeah, go
check those ones out. Sorry to not

34
00:02:13.319 --> 00:02:15.120
trying to like brush over your email, but we've talked about this quite a

35
00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:21.759
bit in like past episodes, So
I'm going to move on to another one.

36
00:02:22.199 --> 00:02:24.159
Let's see this one says, Hey, guys, I got my staff

37
00:02:24.240 --> 00:02:28.680
right or stick or yesterday. I
will send you a picture once I figure

38
00:02:28.719 --> 00:02:30.520
out where to stick it. I
just also wanted to say thank you for

39
00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:34.599
all your hard work and dedication to
the show and the podcasts. I do

40
00:02:34.680 --> 00:02:37.919
have a question or topic for you
too, though. What encourage you to

41
00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:42.240
go to get into radio? What's
your favorite thing about the job? So

42
00:02:42.280 --> 00:02:46.000
we'll start with that first. Sorry
we don't have Dave here today. Andrew,

43
00:02:46.039 --> 00:02:49.599
this is Andrew in Ohio. But
what encourage you to get into radio

44
00:02:49.599 --> 00:02:53.520
and what's your favorite thing about the
job. So for me, I was

45
00:02:53.560 --> 00:02:55.520
in college trying to figure out what
to do with my life, and I

46
00:02:55.639 --> 00:02:58.560
was like, well, I want
to do something with music, and I

47
00:02:58.599 --> 00:03:01.479
always thought I wanted to be in
like pr or be like a publicist for

48
00:03:01.560 --> 00:03:06.719
bands or something like that, which
now is probably the equivalent of like a

49
00:03:06.759 --> 00:03:10.840
social media person for bands. Publicist
is like a very outdated term almost,

50
00:03:10.879 --> 00:03:14.439
I feel like, but that was
my goal. And then I saw an

51
00:03:14.439 --> 00:03:19.759
internship for Dave's show open up,
and I applied, and I got into

52
00:03:19.840 --> 00:03:23.840
radio because of that, and then
I fell in love with it, and

53
00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:27.560
I got really lucky that I saw
that internship because I have no idea where

54
00:03:27.599 --> 00:03:30.520
I would be today had I not
seen it, because radio wasn't my go

55
00:03:30.599 --> 00:03:37.680
to, like I was really doing
all not necessarily like not I honestly probably

56
00:03:37.719 --> 00:03:39.360
not. No, I really wanted
to do something with music. I was

57
00:03:39.479 --> 00:03:46.000
in such a track of like public
relations in college that I foresaw myself probably

58
00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:50.520
just going to work for like a
fun agency in town. And I mean

59
00:03:50.719 --> 00:03:53.199
radio doesn't pay very well. But
also when you start out at ad or

60
00:03:53.240 --> 00:03:59.800
pr agencies, that also is a
very hard income stream when you first start

61
00:03:59.840 --> 00:04:02.080
off. So yeah, I don't
think it was. And then my favorite

62
00:04:02.120 --> 00:04:08.759
thing about being in radio is without
a doubt, being able to connect with

63
00:04:08.840 --> 00:04:14.159
you listening. It is like I
don't like, it's hard to explain,

64
00:04:14.199 --> 00:04:15.839
but like when I go out in
public and someone comes up to me and

65
00:04:15.879 --> 00:04:19.480
says something like, oh my gosh, I've never related more about when you

66
00:04:19.519 --> 00:04:25.800
talked about anxiety on the radio.
That is like something that I wish everyone

67
00:04:25.879 --> 00:04:29.759
had, is like I love to
connect with people. I love that radio

68
00:04:29.879 --> 00:04:32.160
is a form of connection, even
though we might not actually physically connect in

69
00:04:32.199 --> 00:04:36.519
person. Someday if something I said
can help you somehow in your life.

70
00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:41.319
That is my favorite thing about radio. But Drake, what encourage you to

71
00:04:41.360 --> 00:04:44.120
get into radio and what's your favorite
thing. Honestly, I think I was

72
00:04:44.160 --> 00:04:48.319
just really trying to get a head
start on anything. I started radio when

73
00:04:48.439 --> 00:04:54.079
I was thirteen years old. I
remember it was a radio station that I

74
00:04:54.079 --> 00:04:56.680
always listened to as a kid,
so I think there was a little bit

75
00:04:56.680 --> 00:05:00.600
of like a nostalgic aspect to it
too, of like I really wanted to

76
00:05:00.759 --> 00:05:04.879
work here because I listened to it
growing up. And I remember just sitting

77
00:05:04.959 --> 00:05:14.879
and writing the little job resume g's
thank you yes words with my parents.

78
00:05:14.879 --> 00:05:17.160
I was like, I have nothing
I could put on this, so they're

79
00:05:17.199 --> 00:05:20.839
probably not even gonna like look at
it. Yeah, But I sent it

80
00:05:20.879 --> 00:05:25.079
in and got word back like a
few weeks later, and they wanted me

81
00:05:25.120 --> 00:05:27.279
to come in and check it out
and meet me. And then I started

82
00:05:27.279 --> 00:05:30.319
interning and learning things, and then
it was all from there, But I

83
00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:33.040
think mostly I just wanted to get
a head start in something and I really

84
00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:35.519
liked music and I want to I
knew I want to work in the music

85
00:05:35.560 --> 00:05:40.000
industry, and that's kind of where
it all started. And for me,

86
00:05:40.120 --> 00:05:42.720
what was the other question? Then? What's your favorite thing about radio?

87
00:05:43.759 --> 00:05:47.079
Very similar to yours. I really
like having a positive impact on somebody's life,

88
00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:50.360
Like if I can put a smile
on somebody's face, that to me

89
00:05:51.439 --> 00:05:57.199
is like that makes me happy?
Would I make other people happy? It

90
00:05:57.199 --> 00:06:00.160
makes me super happy. So that's
what it is worth it for me?

91
00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:03.879
Got it? Yeah? And then
Andrew continues on He's got a couple more

92
00:06:03.959 --> 00:06:08.360
questions. He says, what was
the worst job you ever had and what

93
00:06:08.600 --> 00:06:14.639
encouraged you to leave it when you
did? So, it's so you basically

94
00:06:14.639 --> 00:06:17.480
have worked in radio your whole life. I've had three jobs, all of

95
00:06:17.519 --> 00:06:20.759
them. I didn't really necessarily I
left, but I left on good terms

96
00:06:21.120 --> 00:06:26.680
because there was a new opportunity that
opened up. I've done. I've worked

97
00:06:26.680 --> 00:06:30.120
for a DJ company doing weddings,
which I kind of like unofficially quit.

98
00:06:30.120 --> 00:06:30.959
I don't know, I just kind
of like tapered off. It wasn't like

99
00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:35.680
an official official job, but I
worked at had a lot of fun,

100
00:06:35.800 --> 00:06:39.879
learned so many things from that,
and then obviously working in radio and Green

101
00:06:39.920 --> 00:06:43.279
Bay, I just left that when
this opportunity came up. So that's pretty

102
00:06:43.360 --> 00:06:48.399
much been my resume. Got it
Okay, So the job itself wasn't exactly

103
00:06:48.439 --> 00:06:51.040
like the worst job ever. If
I have to go back to the worst

104
00:06:51.079 --> 00:06:54.839
job I've ever worked, it was
definitely when I was a bus girl when

105
00:06:54.839 --> 00:06:57.800
I was fifteen years old, and
I had to wear one of those old

106
00:06:57.879 --> 00:07:00.279
diner dresses. I worked out like
it was this old school restaurant. My

107
00:07:00.399 --> 00:07:05.160
dad literally worked there for forty five
years I think literally from the ag was

108
00:07:05.199 --> 00:07:12.240
eighteen till he was sixty something,
and so I had my first like real

109
00:07:12.360 --> 00:07:15.040
job there, and it was just
like it was early hours I was in

110
00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:18.319
high school. I had to be
there at like seven am on a Saturday

111
00:07:18.360 --> 00:07:23.079
and Sunday, like almost every Saturday
and Sunday. Worked. So all of

112
00:07:23.079 --> 00:07:25.879
my weekends, like right away in
high school, I didn't like have weekends

113
00:07:25.879 --> 00:07:29.480
to go like have all these sleepovers
with friends and stuff. I was always

114
00:07:29.480 --> 00:07:32.279
working. But if I want to
talk about like an actual, like career

115
00:07:32.560 --> 00:07:36.199
job, more so outside of the
first jobs you have that usually aren't the

116
00:07:36.240 --> 00:07:41.439
greatest, I would have to say, and this has no shade against them,

117
00:07:41.480 --> 00:07:44.800
because I absolutely love Canterbury Park.
But when I worked in marketing at

118
00:07:44.800 --> 00:07:50.160
Canterbury Park, because of the schedule, I was so miserable. I was

119
00:07:50.240 --> 00:07:55.519
like twenty five years old, had
just gotten out of like a relationship,

120
00:07:55.959 --> 00:08:01.319
and my schedule was Wednesday through Sunday
during race season. So I was working

121
00:08:01.839 --> 00:08:05.399
Wednesday in normal like nine to five, Thursday and Friday nights because those were

122
00:08:05.480 --> 00:08:09.759
races, and then Saturday and Sunday
days because they raced Thursday through Sunday,

123
00:08:11.040 --> 00:08:13.120
so it was night racing Thursday and
Friday, Saturday and Sunday day racing.

124
00:08:13.560 --> 00:08:18.120
So my schedule was Wednesday through Sunday
all summer long. It included working on

125
00:08:18.279 --> 00:08:22.680
Labor Day, Memorial Day, and
the fourth of July. There were no

126
00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:28.319
holidays off. It was really hard
on me mentally. I just didn't get

127
00:08:28.360 --> 00:08:33.080
to do much with friends. And
I also went from being a server that

128
00:08:33.360 --> 00:08:35.919
was interacting with people and working with
friends all the time to working in a

129
00:08:37.159 --> 00:08:41.000
very like office environment. And the
offices at Canterbury also are in the basement

130
00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:45.919
of Canterbury where there's no windows,
so that was like another thing lots of

131
00:08:45.960 --> 00:08:50.240
things I've learned in my years of
like just what helps me with my mental

132
00:08:50.279 --> 00:08:52.279
health, and I definitely never realized
at the time how bad it was that

133
00:08:52.360 --> 00:08:56.120
I was like sitting in this basement
working a bunch. But yeah, the

134
00:08:56.159 --> 00:09:01.279
schedule was really hard for me because
I was like single and my friends were

135
00:09:01.279 --> 00:09:03.559
all out doing things, and if
I wanted to do stuff, I had

136
00:09:03.559 --> 00:09:07.639
to be like going out after races
at like eleven PM to meet up with

137
00:09:07.679 --> 00:09:09.559
them, and then I had to
be up a Saturday morning and at work

138
00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:13.639
again at nine am to work a
full eight hour a day, you know.

139
00:09:13.519 --> 00:09:18.080
So the job itself wasn't bad.
I really loved everyone I worked with

140
00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:22.919
at Canterbury Park. Honestly some of
the greatest professional people I've ever worked with.

141
00:09:22.960 --> 00:09:26.360
I worked with amazing servers before in
my life, but like professionally,

142
00:09:26.799 --> 00:09:30.879
that was probably one of my favorite
places I've worked with of people who were

143
00:09:30.919 --> 00:09:35.240
just really good at their jobs.
But the schedule just did not vibe for

144
00:09:35.320 --> 00:09:37.559
me. So what encouraged me to
leave was the fact that, like I

145
00:09:37.600 --> 00:09:41.480
had already worked in radio on Dave's
show, I was an intern, and

146
00:09:41.559 --> 00:09:43.159
I really did love radio and that's
what I wanted to do, but there

147
00:09:43.200 --> 00:09:46.080
was nothing for me when I was
interning. I had to leave eventually,

148
00:09:46.639 --> 00:09:52.399
and so what encouraged me to get
back was like just like honestly wanting to

149
00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:56.480
be in radio so bad, and
how miserable I felt from doing like one

150
00:09:56.600 --> 00:10:00.240
race season at Canterbury Park, because
then once race season was done, my

151
00:10:00.240 --> 00:10:05.159
schedule went back to Monday through Friday, but your entire summer was consumed with

152
00:10:05.240 --> 00:10:09.320
that. So it really helped me
push me to get back into radio.

153
00:10:09.919 --> 00:10:13.639
And then I took a big demotion
to get back in. I went from

154
00:10:13.679 --> 00:10:18.480
a full time marketing position to part
time assistant producer on City's ninety sevens morning

155
00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:20.879
show. But I still had side
serving jobs, so I was able to

156
00:10:20.919 --> 00:10:24.840
just like pick up more shifts back
then to like equate for the loss of

157
00:10:24.879 --> 00:10:30.039
income. So yeah, that's a
long winded answer, Andrew. Sorry that

158
00:10:30.120 --> 00:10:33.519
was a lot, but that you
answered yours right, Yeah, okay,

159
00:10:35.080 --> 00:10:37.120
all right, thank you for that
one. Andrew in Ohio. Can't wait

160
00:10:37.120 --> 00:10:41.720
to see where you put your sticker. Okay, this comes from Lauren.

161
00:10:41.799 --> 00:10:45.960
She says, Hi, guys,
I'm a first time writer, longtime listener,

162
00:10:45.960 --> 00:10:48.799
and I couldn't help, but have
to respond to your topic the other

163
00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:52.840
day on where you've dropped your phone. So my friend recently was at the

164
00:10:52.840 --> 00:10:56.759
same Paul Christmas market helpings how they're
use the porta Patti and dropped his phone

165
00:10:56.759 --> 00:11:01.600
in the toilet. He said,
he sifted, Oh gosh, I know

166
00:11:01.679 --> 00:11:07.799
exactly where this is killing. Oh
my gosh, I'm trying to figure out

167
00:11:07.840 --> 00:11:09.879
how much I want to filter this. He doesn't filter any of it,

168
00:11:11.039 --> 00:11:15.840
no, he said, he sifted
through turds to get to it, and

169
00:11:16.240 --> 00:11:22.000
a bloody you know what that living
is? Oh man? Then he put

170
00:11:22.039 --> 00:11:26.399
the phone back in his breast pocket. What he didn't even clean it or

171
00:11:26.440 --> 00:11:31.039
anything. He went and found his
wife after with his hand all blue from

172
00:11:31.279 --> 00:11:35.840
deep diving in the biff. Worst
part he cleaned it, of course,

173
00:11:35.879 --> 00:11:39.360
in the phone case, but kept
the phone case. Those are like seven

174
00:11:39.440 --> 00:11:43.279
dollars on Amazon anyway. Now it's
a debate between the friend group, would

175
00:11:43.279 --> 00:11:46.120
you or would you not? What
would you guys do? My answer was

176
00:11:46.200 --> 00:11:50.720
I'd grab it if it was sitting
on top, But to dig through strangers

177
00:11:50.720 --> 00:11:54.360
poop now I'm out. What would
you do? Would you dig in there.

178
00:11:54.799 --> 00:11:56.639
I would what a hard for it
person, I would dig in there

179
00:11:56.639 --> 00:12:00.360
for it. I would. I
mean, so it was at the same

180
00:12:00.320 --> 00:12:03.320
pole Christmas market. There's a good
chance he was wearing gloves. Maybe she

181
00:12:03.360 --> 00:12:07.120
said that. She didn't say that, but it was winter time. I

182
00:12:07.159 --> 00:12:09.679
would have been wearing gloves, so
I would have at least had that,

183
00:12:09.759 --> 00:12:11.639
and then I would have tossed the
gloves. I would have put the glove

184
00:12:11.720 --> 00:12:16.600
on, or had the glove in
dug in, did a little like biff

185
00:12:16.679 --> 00:12:18.879
surgery, reach it in there,
pulled it out, and then I would

186
00:12:18.919 --> 00:12:22.840
have immediately like thrown it onto like
the ground, onto some snow if there

187
00:12:22.919 --> 00:12:26.480
was snow around, to like wash
it off and then dish the glove.

188
00:12:26.799 --> 00:12:30.679
Yeah, I would probably do all
that. I don't know if i'd be

189
00:12:30.720 --> 00:12:33.159
wearing gloves though, yeah, you
never wear gloves. I would never I

190
00:12:33.519 --> 00:12:37.399
have to. I'd be gloveless,
which honestly, I feel like I would

191
00:12:37.399 --> 00:12:41.120
still do it. Yea, I
would still do it. I'm not tossing

192
00:12:41.200 --> 00:12:43.600
like a nine hundred dollars phone,
especially with all your stuff on there,

193
00:12:43.840 --> 00:12:48.080
like it's not yet it's worth just
just do it, I know. Yes,

194
00:12:48.240 --> 00:12:54.799
Lauren, thank you for that somewhat
disturbing but very entertaining email. We

195
00:12:54.840 --> 00:12:56.840
appreciate that, and she says thanks
for all the morning entertainment. I listen

196
00:12:58.600 --> 00:13:03.399
every day, and that looks like
we, I think, are caught up

197
00:13:03.480 --> 00:13:07.679
on emails already. So if you
have any emails for Drake and I,

198
00:13:07.679 --> 00:13:09.960
I'm going to say, there's a
couple in here that I'm going to say

199
00:13:09.000 --> 00:13:15.879
because they're specifically directed towards Dave,
but feel free to send him in to

200
00:13:16.080 --> 00:13:22.039
Ryan's show at KADIWB dot com because
it'll be Drake and I tomorrow as well,

201
00:13:22.080 --> 00:13:24.279
and then Dave's going to be back
on Monday. So thank you so

202
00:13:24.399 --> 00:13:28.679
much for listening to the Minnesota Goodbye,
