WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:03.000 I can start out with a joke and see if you get this joke. 2 00:00:03.040 --> 00:00:07.160 This joke comes courtesy of staff writer Tracy. Okay, here we go. 3 00:00:07.799 --> 00:00:13.000 What is the best time of the day? I have no idea six thirty 4 00:00:13.119 --> 00:00:16.359 hands down? Do you get it? I get it? Yeah, I 5 00:00:16.359 --> 00:00:19.239 didn't get it. Are you reading o'clock? I didn't get that at all. 6 00:00:19.399 --> 00:00:23.839 I was like what. Tracy goes on to say, My eleven year 7 00:00:23.879 --> 00:00:26.199 old son told me that. When I thought it was hilarious. I told 8 00:00:26.199 --> 00:00:29.879 my thirty five year old brother and he didn't get it. It's amazing how 9 00:00:29.920 --> 00:00:34.159 we forget to tell the old fashioned time the old fashioned way now that everything 10 00:00:34.240 --> 00:00:36.799 is digital. So I didn't get that joke. I've never heard that six 11 00:00:37.000 --> 00:00:40.679 thirty hands down because the hands are both pointing to I didn't get that. 12 00:00:41.280 --> 00:00:44.280 I did. I mean, definitely not a joke I've ever heard before. 13 00:00:44.320 --> 00:00:46.759 But I did understand it. But I think I probably was already trying to 14 00:00:46.759 --> 00:00:49.399 think hard because you said that, are you going to get the best job? 15 00:00:50.520 --> 00:00:53.039 Thank you, Tracy. She goes on to say, on to the 16 00:00:53.159 --> 00:00:57.039 question, I wanted to ask in our current society, what is an appropriate 17 00:00:57.079 --> 00:01:00.640 time frame to meet new neighbors. I'm sitting on my deck typing this is 18 00:01:00.679 --> 00:01:03.560 I listened to my husband talk to our new neighbor for the first time, 19 00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:07.480 and the neighbor commented on our Halloween decorations from last fall. Then it hit 20 00:01:07.519 --> 00:01:11.400 me. They moved in mid September last year, and we haven't met them 21 00:01:11.480 --> 00:01:15.040 until today. If you're bad with math, that is eight month. I 22 00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:17.840 feel bad that it took so long, but I really don't even know most 23 00:01:17.840 --> 00:01:19.840 of our neighbors. Just the one to the right and now this one immediately 24 00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:23.519 to our left. Is that typical. I feel like we're pretty social people, 25 00:01:23.519 --> 00:01:26.840 but our circle of friends are outside of our neighborhood. Curious on how 26 00:01:26.879 --> 00:01:32.079 it is for you as well. Keep up the great work. I literally 27 00:01:32.200 --> 00:01:34.159 listened to every day and I have since fifth grade. You keep me entertained, 28 00:01:34.239 --> 00:01:38.359 laughing and inspired. Have you tried the lasagna? It's my favorite. 29 00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:46.280 Tracy, you made me laugh. I think that is so interesting. I 30 00:01:46.359 --> 00:01:49.159 know somebody I don't want to embarrass them, but they have not met any 31 00:01:49.159 --> 00:01:52.680 of their neighbors. I met their neighbor because I was at their house, 32 00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:57.120 went across the street where their girls were doing some sort of an art project. 33 00:01:57.159 --> 00:01:59.640 In the driveway and I went over and I said, hey, can 34 00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:01.159 I ask what you're doing? And she's like, oh, yeah, sure 35 00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:05.000 and blah blah blah blah blah, and I said, oh, that's really 36 00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:07.239 cool. So I went and said, hey, I met your neighbors. 37 00:02:07.239 --> 00:02:12.240 She's like, you did. I'm like yeah. She's like, how do 38 00:02:12.319 --> 00:02:15.120 you meet neighbors? You see him at the mailbox, when you see him 39 00:02:15.159 --> 00:02:20.800 in their yard, you go say him, you introduce yourself. I know 40 00:02:20.919 --> 00:02:25.680 all my neighbors all around me. I'm very close with a couple of them. 41 00:02:25.919 --> 00:02:29.680 There's one diagonally from me that I got to tell you. I don't 42 00:02:29.680 --> 00:02:34.039 even know his name, but we're friendly to each other. What about you? 43 00:02:34.199 --> 00:02:36.039 Do you remember when you met them? Though, because you've lived at 44 00:02:36.039 --> 00:02:38.319 that house for quite a while, Do I remember when I met who? 45 00:02:38.479 --> 00:02:39.879 When you met your neighbors for the first time? Oh, okay, I'm 46 00:02:39.879 --> 00:02:43.719 pretty much right away? Okay, yeah, within a couple of days. 47 00:02:43.879 --> 00:02:46.240 I don't remember. It's been a long time, but within a couple of 48 00:02:46.280 --> 00:02:47.400 days you see him at the mailbox, You're like, oh, you must 49 00:02:47.400 --> 00:02:51.199 be the new neighbor. Oh, I'm Dave, I'm this is Susan whatever. 50 00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:53.639 Type of thing. We only know pretty much the people who are who 51 00:02:53.680 --> 00:02:57.560 are left and right, and then the people who are behind us in the 52 00:02:57.599 --> 00:03:02.000 alley because we don't really go out to the front much, but the alley 53 00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:05.919 is like where everyone usually like drives in in parks, so we see those 54 00:03:05.960 --> 00:03:08.120 people a lot. There's a young couple though, that also moved in the 55 00:03:08.159 --> 00:03:12.319 same day that we did, and they're right behind us in the alley too, 56 00:03:12.360 --> 00:03:15.120 and we've never spoken to them because we never see them. And I 57 00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:19.919 just we just really don't see our neighbors. I think that's part of it. 58 00:03:19.960 --> 00:03:22.319 Though. If you don't see them, then how are you going to 59 00:03:22.360 --> 00:03:24.199 meet them. You don't really want to go knock on the door to meet 60 00:03:24.240 --> 00:03:29.280 them. You just see them out in the yard or pushing their stroller or 61 00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:35.560 whatever, or walking their dog, and you know, you encounter them they're 62 00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:38.479 way And I think a lot of it does depend on whether people come outside 63 00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:44.280 or not. We've had neighbors that they just never come outside. I mean 64 00:03:44.319 --> 00:03:49.199 literally, they're normal looking people with normal looking kids, and they never come 65 00:03:49.240 --> 00:03:53.240 outside, so you never really get to know them that well. Right, 66 00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:57.719 But I tell you the advantage of having a neighbor is you know you might 67 00:03:57.960 --> 00:04:00.719 need them. Yeah, Like, for example, let's say you were trying 68 00:04:00.719 --> 00:04:03.080 to get a hold of Andrew and you couldn't get a hold of him, 69 00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:05.319 and it's like, man, I've been calling him all morning, and that's 70 00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:09.240 really weird. He's not answering his phone. He always answers his phone. 71 00:04:09.960 --> 00:04:13.560 You can send the neighbor over to knock on the door and see if they're 72 00:04:13.599 --> 00:04:15.680 okay. Yeah, if you are going to be out of town for the 73 00:04:15.680 --> 00:04:18.839 weekend and you want somebody to pick up your mail, neighbor can pick up 74 00:04:18.879 --> 00:04:24.079 your mail or like Amazon packages, our neighbor Bennett always takes care of our 75 00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:26.800 packages if we go out of town, which normally we don't have a ton 76 00:04:26.800 --> 00:04:29.480 of packages, but every once in a while we'll forget that we ordered something 77 00:04:29.480 --> 00:04:30.680 and did that just the other day. The neighbor's like, hey, we're 78 00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:33.240 at our cabin, there's a package on our porch. Well, you pick 79 00:04:33.240 --> 00:04:36.160 it up and put it on a garage and so we know their garage code. 80 00:04:36.199 --> 00:04:40.160 We pick up the package, we stick it in their garage, and 81 00:04:40.839 --> 00:04:43.680 you know, it's just kind of nice. There's another neighbor down the street 82 00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:47.040 that we know from boy Scouts that they watch the pets when we are out 83 00:04:47.040 --> 00:04:49.959 of town. So yeah, it's definitely worth it to get you to know 84 00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:53.839 your neighbors, and most of the time they want to know you too. 85 00:04:54.319 --> 00:04:57.240 But I think there's just something in our you know, when I grew up, 86 00:04:57.639 --> 00:04:59.720 we grew up, you know, out in the country, so the 87 00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:03.160 neighbors were hundreds of yards away, sometimes close to a mile away. But 88 00:05:03.240 --> 00:05:09.079 we knew everybody around us because back then it was just a different culture and 89 00:05:09.160 --> 00:05:12.680 some you got along with really well, and sometimes you just said hi to 90 00:05:12.759 --> 00:05:15.160 him at the mailbox, and other ones would come over for dinner, you 91 00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:18.240 know, so you don't have to make friends with everybody. But I think 92 00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:20.680 it's a good idea to get to know your neighbors, for sure. But 93 00:05:20.800 --> 00:05:25.560 I get it. Thank you, Tracy really enjoyed that one. Let us 94 00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:28.879 know about you and whether you know your neighbors. I'm going to go back 95 00:05:28.879 --> 00:05:31.480 to an email from Dan. Dan is ourb buddy who lives in Apple Valley. 96 00:05:31.560 --> 00:05:34.560 We love Dan because he's a smart ass. He's the guy who is 97 00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:39.360 on no phone, screen or Friday once in a while, and he's got 98 00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:42.560 a bit of a speech difficulty. I don't know what the word is that 99 00:05:42.600 --> 00:05:48.160 you use now. But Dan hit a tree head on a four wheeler and 100 00:05:48.279 --> 00:05:51.560 wrapped the tires around the tree, so the front two tires of the four 101 00:05:51.600 --> 00:05:56.279 wheeler actually touched. And he's got some you know, he's had some like 102 00:05:56.360 --> 00:06:00.759 brain damage or whatever. He says, Wishing Jenny a happy twenty first birthday. 103 00:06:00.399 --> 00:06:04.000 I wish I uh okay, let me read you again. Wishing Jenny 104 00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:08.720 a happy twenty first birthday. Wish. I don't remember how many years of 105 00:06:08.759 --> 00:06:13.519 experienced. Sincerely, Dan from Apple Valley. All right, keep on dart 106 00:06:13.560 --> 00:06:17.360 licking, Dave you do you? Thank you Dan. It is Jenny's birthday 107 00:06:17.360 --> 00:06:20.160 today. We can do it for your birthday. That's what we're going up 108 00:06:20.199 --> 00:06:24.680 to luten Is. We're just going up to get away for the weekend. 109 00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:27.519 Andrew's grandpa has a cabin up there and we haven't been in a couple of 110 00:06:27.600 --> 00:06:30.160 years, so we're gonna head up and get away and just be one with 111 00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:33.360 nature. We're going to do with some hiking and stuff like that. I 112 00:06:33.439 --> 00:06:39.000 love that. I love that you both love to go hiking, that you 113 00:06:39.079 --> 00:06:41.839 both want to just get away and go to Lutten. When you feel when 114 00:06:41.839 --> 00:06:45.000 you're in Lutzen. You feel like you're a million miles from anything, right. 115 00:06:45.160 --> 00:06:46.319 It really is just isolated. But at the same time, there's a 116 00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:53.560 holiday station and Carl's Junior down the block. You really need something good for 117 00:06:53.639 --> 00:06:56.199 you. That is super cool. What a great birthday trip, And thank 118 00:06:56.240 --> 00:07:00.759 you Dan for the birthday wish. Yeah, thanks Dan. Dave Jay came 119 00:07:00.800 --> 00:07:03.879 back from vacation in Puerto Rico a week ago. I'm finally catching up on 120 00:07:04.120 --> 00:07:09.279 the podcast. I was too busy laying on a beach to listen to My 121 00:07:09.360 --> 00:07:12.959 apologies if you're getting tired of this subject, but I wanted to commend Jenny 122 00:07:12.959 --> 00:07:17.000 for talking about our anxiety so publicly and bluntly. I can identify my anxiety 123 00:07:17.040 --> 00:07:21.560 is made worse by an unrelated medical condition that has taken away my peripheral and 124 00:07:21.680 --> 00:07:27.399 night visions. So going back to going to dark and crowded public spaces is 125 00:07:27.519 --> 00:07:30.040 really difficult for me, and I probably missed out on a lot of fun 126 00:07:30.040 --> 00:07:32.920 events, which is really frustrating. But I started taking medication and it's been 127 00:07:32.959 --> 00:07:36.839 helping. I have also had depression for years, but I didn't recognize or 128 00:07:36.920 --> 00:07:41.560 want to acknowledge it until it got really bad last year. And I asked 129 00:07:41.560 --> 00:07:46.160 for help. What Dave mentioned about physically feeling the effects of the drug happened 130 00:07:46.160 --> 00:07:49.720 to me too, and it was weird but comforting. Now I'm just more 131 00:07:49.839 --> 00:07:56.519 level. When I took klonopin twenty minutes or half an hour, fifteen minutes 132 00:07:56.519 --> 00:08:01.079 after I took it, whatever, I could feel it change my brain. 133 00:08:01.279 --> 00:08:07.079 I could feel it just like things that it just slipped away. It was 134 00:08:07.279 --> 00:08:11.079 just And I don't like drugs. People are like, oh man, You're 135 00:08:11.120 --> 00:08:13.800 like this high is so good or this whatever is so good. I'm like, 136 00:08:13.319 --> 00:08:18.199 I like to feel real, like in reality. But when I was 137 00:08:18.240 --> 00:08:22.759 on the klonopin, I needed it because I was so I could not stop. 138 00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:24.639 I said, it was like a bonfire in my head. So how 139 00:08:24.680 --> 00:08:28.240 are you doing? Give me an update with your if you want to no, 140 00:08:28.279 --> 00:08:30.480 PRESI sure I don't. Yeah, no, I'm totally fine with it. 141 00:08:30.680 --> 00:08:33.480 I just met with my psychiatrists. We did like a month's check in 142 00:08:33.519 --> 00:08:37.279 this week, and we're going to I'm on like the lowest dose you can 143 00:08:37.360 --> 00:08:39.919 with mine of medicine, and we just checked in about how it's been going. 144 00:08:41.000 --> 00:08:45.000 So we're upping it like a tiny bit. Because she just says that 145 00:08:45.039 --> 00:08:46.960 she thinks that'll be a little bit more helpful for me, and so I'm 146 00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:50.399 going to give that a try and just see how that goes. I'm not 147 00:08:50.440 --> 00:08:52.039 starting that for like a week, but it's been good. I mean there 148 00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:56.000 have been days where it's been a little bit harder, but I will say 149 00:08:56.039 --> 00:09:00.919 that the medicine has definitely put me back into a more normal headspace. And 150 00:09:01.559 --> 00:09:03.759 I guess it's just the thing with anxiety is it creeps up out of nowhere 151 00:09:03.799 --> 00:09:07.120 and you just like never know how your day is going to be sometimes. 152 00:09:07.159 --> 00:09:11.879 And honestly, I had like a rough day I think either Tuesday or Wednesday 153 00:09:11.919 --> 00:09:13.519 this week, and I think it was Wednesday, and it was such a 154 00:09:13.519 --> 00:09:18.279 bummer because like, I can't enjoy certain things right now because it only heightens 155 00:09:18.320 --> 00:09:22.399 my anxiety. So I stopped drinking over a month ago, and that's fine. 156 00:09:22.399 --> 00:09:24.759 I don't really care about that, but coffee. I can't even really 157 00:09:24.759 --> 00:09:28.200 consume coffee right now. Because I asked my doctor about it, I was 158 00:09:28.200 --> 00:09:31.039 like, I don't get it, and she's like, well, your body 159 00:09:31.120 --> 00:09:33.799 is in like fight or flight right now. That's what's happening with you because 160 00:09:33.840 --> 00:09:39.840 your anxiety is so heightened when you add caffeine to it, it basically doesn't 161 00:09:39.879 --> 00:09:43.360 register that it's just caffeine. It's just registering that something is happening to your 162 00:09:43.360 --> 00:09:48.200 body that's accelerating your heart rate and you get into an even worse fighter flight 163 00:09:48.279 --> 00:09:52.919 mode. So it's kind of like some things in life that I really enjoy 164 00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:58.120 I can't do at the moment. But it hasn't been like it's been good 165 00:09:58.200 --> 00:10:03.320 for the most part. Uh. It goes back to you know, I'm 166 00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:05.600 looking at you now as you tell the story, and I'm like, you 167 00:10:05.639 --> 00:10:09.000 know, Jenny just seems chill, not chill, just seems normal Jenny. 168 00:10:09.519 --> 00:10:13.360 And I think that's the thing that I learned about this one and we all 169 00:10:13.399 --> 00:10:16.399 know, is that you look at somebody and they might seem like they're fine, 170 00:10:16.559 --> 00:10:18.879 what's your problem? You don't have any problems. And you look at 171 00:10:18.919 --> 00:10:24.200 Jenny and you can go she lives a charmed life, she's young, successful, 172 00:10:24.360 --> 00:10:28.159 in a happy relationship, got her own house, all these things. 173 00:10:28.720 --> 00:10:31.480 But then you never know what somebody is going through, even if they look 174 00:10:31.559 --> 00:10:35.000 like they have a very charmed life. Yeah, so be easy on the 175 00:10:35.039 --> 00:10:41.200 people that might that might even seem normal. I don't know, there's a 176 00:10:41.240 --> 00:10:45.159 lot of people who reach out to me, like some people who also work 177 00:10:45.159 --> 00:10:48.440 in media after I talked about it and said that they deal with the same 178 00:10:48.480 --> 00:10:52.240 thing, and just other people that I wouldn't have expected it myself from, 179 00:10:52.559 --> 00:10:56.120 and I was like kind of shocked to hear from them too, saying like 180 00:10:56.919 --> 00:11:00.159 thanks for talking about it, because I go through the exact same thing as 181 00:11:00.200 --> 00:11:03.919 you do. I think it's really important. She goes on to say, 182 00:11:03.799 --> 00:11:07.639 not sure if this has been mentioned yet, but having a healthy gut also 183 00:11:07.639 --> 00:11:11.399 improves mental health. When I eat less dairy, sugar and processed foods and 184 00:11:11.440 --> 00:11:16.600 limit alcohol, I do feel better. Love you all. I'm enjoying the 185 00:11:16.600 --> 00:11:18.679 Morning Show just as much as ever. I've been listening off and on since 186 00:11:20.200 --> 00:11:24.440 ninety eight, and that officially makes my relationship with the Morning Show the longest 187 00:11:24.440 --> 00:11:28.360 one I've ever had. Laugh emoji, laugh emoji darting off now but not 188 00:11:28.480 --> 00:11:33.440 licking. That is Annie from Roseville. Annie, Just to let you know, 189 00:11:33.600 --> 00:11:37.919 I will be in your neck of the woods tomorrow, Saturday the eighteenth, 190 00:11:37.960 --> 00:11:41.720 doing a book signing at Barnes and Noble on Snelling from noon until one. 191 00:11:41.360 --> 00:11:43.759 So if you're up that way and you've got a kid, or you 192 00:11:43.960 --> 00:11:46.840 want to buy one for your niece or nephew. It is called Little Dave's 193 00:11:46.879 --> 00:11:50.679 Amazing Day, and it's gotten good reviews and I think people really like it. 194 00:11:50.679 --> 00:11:54.720 It's full of fun pictures and the pictures tell just as much of a 195 00:11:54.759 --> 00:11:58.840 story as the story does. I think people really like it for that one. 196 00:12:00.360 --> 00:12:03.559 Uh, Okay, we're going to delete the next one because it's an 197 00:12:03.639 --> 00:12:09.000 ad. Here's one says random thought for you from Stephanie. Sometimes when I'm 198 00:12:09.039 --> 00:12:13.000 on the treadmill, there's a pit Bull song that comes up. There's a 199 00:12:13.039 --> 00:12:16.320 line in the song that says every day above ground is a good day. 200 00:12:16.559 --> 00:12:20.759 That really resonates with me and sometimes lists me up when I feel like I'm 201 00:12:20.759 --> 00:12:24.799 having a crappy day. Another lyric that always stands out from Pitbull is quite 202 00:12:24.840 --> 00:12:28.919 a different type. It's in the song Fireball, and pit Bull says, 203 00:12:28.200 --> 00:12:33.759 I came I saw I conquered, or should I say I saw I conquered? 204 00:12:35.039 --> 00:12:37.279 I came? I don't know that one? Oh God, really, 205 00:12:37.320 --> 00:12:41.120 Pitbull. Pit Bull has so many good lines, Like I'm sure some people 206 00:12:41.120 --> 00:12:46.440 think that he's just like one of those fun party kind of artists and stuff, 207 00:12:46.759 --> 00:12:48.360 but honestly, if you actually listen to his lyrics, He's got some 208 00:12:48.440 --> 00:12:52.919 really good motivational ones. He's got lines like that one I came, I 209 00:12:52.919 --> 00:12:54.000 saw or whatever. It was, like, yeah, no, I like 210 00:12:54.039 --> 00:12:56.799 that one. And you know what, there is a pit Bull song that 211 00:12:56.879 --> 00:12:58.919 I've heard. It's like, oh, I like that one too, but 212 00:13:00.039 --> 00:13:01.240 I can't remember what it was, But I think that he does. He's 213 00:13:01.480 --> 00:13:05.639 he's I think he is what he is. I met put pit Bull at 214 00:13:05.759 --> 00:13:09.679 jingle Ball a couple of years ago, and he was just chill and friendly 215 00:13:09.759 --> 00:13:13.159 and so fucking cool. And he walks in the room and you just like, 216 00:13:13.240 --> 00:13:15.639 know, pit bulls in the room. He's one of those artists. 217 00:13:16.120 --> 00:13:22.039 Yeah, and he I just I'm I'm not the biggest pit Bull fan of 218 00:13:22.039 --> 00:13:26.320 his music, but I like him. Mister four oh five is that what 219 00:13:26.399 --> 00:13:28.480 it is? Four oh five? Yep? Three h five? No, 220 00:13:28.559 --> 00:13:35.120 yeah, five five five is mister worldwide, Mister three five five. He's 221 00:13:35.159 --> 00:13:39.879 got so many nicknames. I think, thank you, Stephanie loved that one. 222 00:13:39.279 --> 00:13:41.720 Next one is a delete because it's an ad. We get a lot 223 00:13:41.720 --> 00:13:48.519 of ads that I have to kind of pluck through because we people write to 224 00:13:48.600 --> 00:13:50.480 us and they want us to do interviews with somebody who's from the like I 225 00:13:50.480 --> 00:13:56.559 don't know, some dairy Farmer's association or whatever, and it's like, well, 226 00:13:56.960 --> 00:14:01.600 we don't do interviews like that. But there's companies that are PR companies 227 00:14:01.639 --> 00:14:05.960 that they send out press releases like Jennifer Smith is going to be in town 228 00:14:05.000 --> 00:14:09.159 and she is the expert on dairy cattle. If you'd like to talk to 229 00:14:09.200 --> 00:14:11.960 an expert on dairy cattle, Jennifer Hudson's available all next week. And I'm 230 00:14:13.000 --> 00:14:16.480 like, why did how are we on your list? I always I wonder 231 00:14:16.519 --> 00:14:18.039 that too, But I did work for a PR agency. I worked for 232 00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:22.679 Minneapolis or I interned for them, and so I was the person who was 233 00:14:22.679 --> 00:14:26.000 like updating our media list constantly and doing all this stuff. And I never 234 00:14:26.120 --> 00:14:28.799 understood like how much we were probably spamming so many people with press releases. 235 00:14:30.080 --> 00:14:31.559 Yeah. No, And it's true. And I feel bad because I always 236 00:14:31.600 --> 00:14:39.279 picture some twenty five year old, poor little not intern but a newly employed, 237 00:14:39.480 --> 00:14:43.320 recent college grad who's got their first job, and they have to write 238 00:14:43.360 --> 00:14:46.759 up these press releases on Jennifer Smith coming to town with the Cattle Association and 239 00:14:46.799 --> 00:14:52.639 they just mass email it kind of like any kind of a spam where if 240 00:14:52.639 --> 00:14:56.360 you send out a thousand spam emails and you get two returns, then it's 241 00:14:56.519 --> 00:15:00.480 worth it. And we get a lot of those, and I hit block 242 00:15:01.480 --> 00:15:05.080 on usually when we get things like that, and it'll say block sender, 243 00:15:05.120 --> 00:15:07.279 so I'll never get an email from them again. But they are plentiful, 244 00:15:07.360 --> 00:15:11.559 Jenny. They're like mosquitos. You can swat a hundred mosquitos and it's not 245 00:15:11.600 --> 00:15:13.639 going to make a difference in your backyard. Yeah, they're still coming, 246 00:15:15.200 --> 00:15:18.759 all right. Next one, I got a story of drinking at a work 247 00:15:18.799 --> 00:15:20.799 type of event. Because we talked about somebody getting drunk at the work type 248 00:15:20.840 --> 00:15:24.159 of event. My boyfriend at the time was invited to a happy hour with 249 00:15:24.200 --> 00:15:28.240 old coworkers and I his girlfriend at the time, was invited as well. 250 00:15:28.279 --> 00:15:33.639 We had a great time. We were at a brewery lo and behold, 251 00:15:33.679 --> 00:15:39.879 a female previous co worker got hammered and professed her love to my boyfriend right 252 00:15:39.039 --> 00:15:43.639 in front of me. Wh okay. It was so weird and uncomfortable for 253 00:15:43.679 --> 00:15:46.840 everyone. He's now my husband and father to my beautiful little girl. I'm 254 00:15:46.840 --> 00:15:50.720 honestly so surprised at how many women over the years have had crushes on him 255 00:15:52.279 --> 00:15:54.279 and he has never known about it. At the time. I'm actually his 256 00:15:54.639 --> 00:16:00.759 first girlfriend. Moral of the story, please don't get drunk events you may 257 00:16:00.799 --> 00:16:06.480 proclaim your love to an unavailable man in public. Wow, all of that 258 00:16:06.679 --> 00:16:11.639 woman, That is a little bit crazy. That it's weird that people let 259 00:16:11.679 --> 00:16:15.799 themselves get so drunk. And I think it's a matter of, like being 260 00:16:15.840 --> 00:16:18.279 an experienced drinker. I was going to say, I think there's a maturity 261 00:16:18.399 --> 00:16:22.600 level too. I think that when I was younger, you know, we 262 00:16:22.639 --> 00:16:25.320 talked about last week or earlier this week, I don't know when it was 263 00:16:25.399 --> 00:16:30.480 last week, getting drunk at work events, and the only one that I 264 00:16:30.519 --> 00:16:34.840 thought about that I really I was probably twenty three and we were doing a 265 00:16:34.879 --> 00:16:38.320 big work party and I was doing the morning show in Columbus, Ohio. 266 00:16:40.000 --> 00:16:44.000 I was twenty three years old, so I was pretty immature and I had 267 00:16:44.000 --> 00:16:47.600 too much to drink at a staff party. So I got up in front 268 00:16:47.639 --> 00:16:51.159 of the room and I think they said something like Dave's beech speech speech, 269 00:16:52.519 --> 00:16:56.639 and I'd been drinking, and I remember I got up and I said, 270 00:16:56.159 --> 00:17:03.839 we're going to kick ass. We're gonna kick fucking ass. And I remember 271 00:17:03.920 --> 00:17:07.839 looking at one of the sales guys named Eric, and I'll never forget the 272 00:17:07.880 --> 00:17:11.880 look on his face. He was standing there. He had like curly hair, 273 00:17:11.960 --> 00:17:14.880 like an afro, and he had a drink in his hand. He 274 00:17:14.920 --> 00:17:18.119 had glasses, and he was kind of looking over the top of his glasses 275 00:17:18.119 --> 00:17:22.799 at me, like what the fuck, But he was kind of smiling, 276 00:17:22.079 --> 00:17:29.119 like I'm trying to play along with Dave, but he's being so fucking weird 277 00:17:29.200 --> 00:17:38.160 and drunk. And I remember right away realizing I should not have said we're 278 00:17:38.200 --> 00:17:45.119 gonna kick fucking ass in front of all of my coworkers. And we did 279 00:17:45.240 --> 00:17:48.200 kick fucking ass. We did, so I was right, So that was 280 00:17:48.319 --> 00:17:52.240 validated had you not been drunk, though, that wouldn't be too far off 281 00:17:52.480 --> 00:17:56.319 from something that might be said in a meeting in radio. Honestly, we're 282 00:17:56.599 --> 00:18:00.359 like, we're not so button up to here, we're not corporate. We 283 00:18:00.359 --> 00:18:03.200 can say let's kick some fucking ass. We can say that to like, 284 00:18:03.799 --> 00:18:07.319 well, maybe that's a little aggressive, but it's just like, I don't 285 00:18:07.319 --> 00:18:07.960 know, had you not been drunk, I don't think it would have been 286 00:18:07.960 --> 00:18:11.720 as bad. You know, probably, I think if I hadn't been drunk, 287 00:18:11.759 --> 00:18:14.279 I wouldn't have said fucking ass. I would have said, we're gonna 288 00:18:14.319 --> 00:18:18.079 kick some ass. Yeah, but you know, I had no idea how 289 00:18:18.079 --> 00:18:19.880 to get up in front of a room and make some sort of a speech 290 00:18:19.960 --> 00:18:22.359 or anything. So I just said the first thing that came to mind. 291 00:18:23.000 --> 00:18:27.559 And it still embarrasses me a little bit because I was in front of like, 292 00:18:27.640 --> 00:18:33.119 you know, the the spouses and the general manager and his wife and 293 00:18:33.160 --> 00:18:36.200 that type of thing, and nobody gave me any shit for it. I 294 00:18:36.240 --> 00:18:38.480 mean, if the thing is, if you're successful, people will forgive you 295 00:18:38.559 --> 00:18:44.079 for a lot. Remember what I just said, If you're successful at work, 296 00:18:44.119 --> 00:18:48.599 people will forgive you for a lot. In other words, if Mark 297 00:18:48.680 --> 00:18:53.279 down the hallway in sales is the number one salesperson and sells the shit out 298 00:18:53.279 --> 00:18:57.240 of your product or your service, Mark can get away with a lot of 299 00:18:57.240 --> 00:19:02.359 shit. Mark can come in late. Mark can be an asshole. Mark 300 00:19:02.400 --> 00:19:04.400 can be a little bit rude. Mark can bang the you know, the 301 00:19:04.480 --> 00:19:07.920 receptionist or whatever. Well, that might be crossing the line a little bit 302 00:19:08.000 --> 00:19:11.440 if there are some rules. But yeah, I mean, I but I 303 00:19:11.599 --> 00:19:15.000 but I've seen it happen in radio too, where if somebody is successful, 304 00:19:15.440 --> 00:19:21.599 they can treat other people like shit. I will not name names, but 305 00:19:21.640 --> 00:19:23.720 I've experienced it here a couple of times. We had somebody who was a 306 00:19:23.759 --> 00:19:29.839 big figure at the radio station and they were successful. They treated everybody literally 307 00:19:29.960 --> 00:19:34.079 like abusive, just literally like abusive. But they let them get away with 308 00:19:34.119 --> 00:19:38.240 it. Number one, because they were successful. Number two because it was 309 00:19:38.279 --> 00:19:42.079 a little bit different of a time. But they were almost frightening sometimes because 310 00:19:42.119 --> 00:19:45.559 they would like turn red and like get in your face and scream at you, 311 00:19:47.319 --> 00:19:51.920 and it was it was not pleasant, yeah, but they got away 312 00:19:51.960 --> 00:19:57.480 with it. I mean somebody, let's let's say Carol Anne is like the 313 00:19:57.720 --> 00:20:03.599 she organized the company. It's her company, and here's an interesting development. 314 00:20:03.799 --> 00:20:11.599 So we recorded the Minnesota Goodbye, and I looked at the waveform and we 315 00:20:11.720 --> 00:20:15.319 have trouble with this sometimes, and it stopped. And it stopped when we 316 00:20:15.319 --> 00:20:21.119 were mid sentence about Carol Anne and being the boss and whatever, and so 317 00:20:21.440 --> 00:20:25.599 we kept talking for a few minutes after that. Then I looked at the 318 00:20:25.599 --> 00:20:32.480 waveforhim and realized it wasn't recording. So it cut off at a really shitty 319 00:20:32.519 --> 00:20:37.400 part that we don't know where to pick up on it because we don't know 320 00:20:37.480 --> 00:20:40.960 exactly what we did not say anyway, I want to thank you for being 321 00:20:41.000 --> 00:20:42.920 here for the Minnesota goodbye. It was kind of an abrupt ending. Jenny 322 00:20:44.000 --> 00:20:45.160 is. This is a few minutes later, like five minutes later, and 323 00:20:45.279 --> 00:20:48.759 Jenny is down the hall recording Weather because she's weather girl. Jenny, but 324 00:20:49.279 --> 00:20:52.279 I think one thing that I just want to wrap up with, Like, 325 00:20:52.119 --> 00:20:55.000 you know, we we did talk about it, and I don't think we 326 00:20:55.119 --> 00:20:59.599 got to it on the podcast, but maybe we did. We were talking 327 00:20:59.640 --> 00:21:06.920 about Jenny or somebody said something shitty about Jenny, and then we talked about 328 00:21:06.920 --> 00:21:10.680 how Keanu Reeves said, and Jenny brought this up. Keanu Reeves said, 329 00:21:10.799 --> 00:21:15.240 if you've got a problem with me, call me. If you don't have 330 00:21:15.319 --> 00:21:18.160 my phone number. I don't want to hear it. In other words, 331 00:21:18.440 --> 00:21:21.759 and I'm paraphrasing, but it's like, hey, listen, if you don't 332 00:21:21.759 --> 00:21:25.319 know me well enough to have my phone number, I can't let it bother 333 00:21:25.480 --> 00:21:27.200 you me what you think. And I think it's good for any of us, 334 00:21:27.240 --> 00:21:30.720 because you know, we all have people that like are jealous of us 335 00:21:30.319 --> 00:21:37.240 or dislike us or whatever. And Jenny and I agreed that if somebody doesn't 336 00:21:37.400 --> 00:21:41.720 like me or Jenny because we're good people, and I'm pretty proud of the 337 00:21:41.720 --> 00:21:45.000 fact that I'm a good person. And I can sleep at night because I 338 00:21:45.000 --> 00:21:48.519 don't backstab or manipulate. And I've known a lot of people in radio who 339 00:21:48.599 --> 00:21:55.960 that's what they do. And I can sleep at night because I've never screwed. 340 00:21:56.000 --> 00:22:00.119 I've never screwed anybody over in radio ever, and I never will and 341 00:22:00.319 --> 00:22:03.400 I don't have to. And I've gotten this far by not having to screw 342 00:22:03.440 --> 00:22:08.079 anybody over. So Jenny and I agree that if somebody doesn't like us, 343 00:22:08.119 --> 00:22:14.400 they either don't know us or they're jealous. And I would say the same 344 00:22:14.440 --> 00:22:18.200 thing for you. If somebody doesn't like you, they either don't know the 345 00:22:18.359 --> 00:22:26.000 real you, or they're jealous because you have a better relationship, income, 346 00:22:26.279 --> 00:22:32.680 house, kids, partner, hairstyle, whatever it is. So if somebody's 347 00:22:32.880 --> 00:22:36.079 if somebody doesn't like you, unless you're an asshole, I'm going to give 348 00:22:36.119 --> 00:22:38.920 you a benefit of the doubt that you're a wonderful person. Then it's because 349 00:22:38.960 --> 00:22:42.200 they're either jealous or they don't know you. So anyway, that is it 350 00:22:42.240 --> 00:22:47.559 for the Minnesota Goodbye kind of an odd ending, I know, and that 351 00:22:47.680 --> 00:22:49.920 is what we deal with with some of the equipment that date back dates back 352 00:22:49.960 --> 00:22:55.119 to the Carter administration, and that is going to do it for the Minnesota 353 00:22:55.160 --> 00:22:57.480 Goodbye. So as we say at the end of every Minnesota Goodbye, thank 354 00:22:57.519 --> 00:23:02.200 you for listening, and send any emails with anything that struck a chord. 355 00:23:02.240 --> 00:23:03.680 Maybe you met us and you say, Dave, you really are an asshole. 356 00:23:04.759 --> 00:23:07.799 Or maybe you met Jenny and said, you know what, she was 357 00:23:07.839 --> 00:23:10.799 not the nicest person ever. If you caught her on a bad day, 358 00:23:11.279 --> 00:23:14.519 you never know, all right, send your emails to Ryan's show at KDWB 359 00:23:15.000 --> 00:23:18.279 dot com. Thank you for listening.
