WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.400 --> 00:00:05.639 Jenny, Look what I got in with the jail. Those the stickers, 2 00:00:05.679 --> 00:00:08.320 right, yeah, those are the Minnesota good Bye that first. Yeah, 3 00:00:09.039 --> 00:00:12.720 they look like coasters or hockey pucks, but they are stacks of round stickers. 4 00:00:13.480 --> 00:00:17.039 You can see them on my Instagram, Dave Ryan katib They came in 5 00:00:17.120 --> 00:00:20.960 yesterday in a box from China, and I'm like, wow, apparently they 6 00:00:20.960 --> 00:00:27.239 make these in China. Minnesota Goodbye, katiewb official staff writer the Dave Ryan 7 00:00:27.320 --> 00:00:31.839 Show. So basically it says Minnesota Goodbye, official staff writer, and I 8 00:00:31.879 --> 00:00:38.960 will send these out to people who Here is the rule you have to write 9 00:00:38.960 --> 00:00:41.359 in. It can't be one from the past. You have to write a 10 00:00:41.399 --> 00:00:44.600 new email in, okay, and it's got to include your address. So 11 00:00:45.320 --> 00:00:49.159 I'm not going to be able to remind you. So in other words, 12 00:00:49.159 --> 00:00:52.000 if you send an email in and say, hey, I want a sticker. 13 00:00:52.079 --> 00:00:55.439 Here's a story about my dog and read it on the Minnesota Goodbye and 14 00:00:55.479 --> 00:00:57.799 you don't include your address, I'm not going to be able to write back 15 00:00:57.799 --> 00:01:02.320 to everybody who forgets. So just remember to can Flujarid dress that way because 16 00:01:02.399 --> 00:01:10.079 we are short staffed as fuck and we just don't We'll screw it. Up. 17 00:01:10.280 --> 00:01:11.159 Yeah, So we need to make it as simple as we can for 18 00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:15.879 me because I'm going to be the male boy on this one. And so 19 00:01:15.879 --> 00:01:19.560 anyway, send those emails in with your address and I see them a good 20 00:01:19.599 --> 00:01:23.159 close looking I'm sure, Yeah, these are nice. I mean they're okay. 21 00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:25.400 I need to find something. Do you have something that you put all 22 00:01:25.400 --> 00:01:27.560 your stickers that you collect from, like your National Park stickers or like stuff 23 00:01:27.560 --> 00:01:30.879 like that. I have a computer at home. Heay, I see I 24 00:01:30.879 --> 00:01:33.359 don't have that. So I have all of these things that I feel like 25 00:01:33.400 --> 00:01:36.840 you've given me stickers, pounds giving me stickers from things I bought stickers, 26 00:01:37.079 --> 00:01:40.599 and they're just sitting in this bowl. I have of random stuff in my 27 00:01:40.840 --> 00:01:44.560 guest bedroom and I don't know what to put them on because the computer I 28 00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:49.000 have is a work computer. I don't really I guess I do kind of 29 00:01:49.079 --> 00:01:52.560 use a mug I could put them on, but I don't really have anything 30 00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:56.599 to put them on. Do you have a yetti bottle or a Stanley Thermis 31 00:01:56.599 --> 00:01:59.400 bottle. I don't have either of those. I just have my hydroflask, 32 00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:02.480 the hydropass that I used to drink water out of. That goes with me. 33 00:02:02.599 --> 00:02:06.640 Everywhere I walk around in my house, so I could do that one 34 00:02:06.799 --> 00:02:08.639 I saiw Okay, yeah, I mean mine are on the back of a 35 00:02:08.680 --> 00:02:13.360 computer. A Carson when he was in high school. I saw that he 36 00:02:13.520 --> 00:02:15.680 had stickers all over his computer, and I'm like, oh, I guess 37 00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:17.840 that's a thing. Yeah, so you buy stickers. Nobody puts stickers in 38 00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:23.000 their car really anymore because people they just they value their car more than putting 39 00:02:23.080 --> 00:02:28.319 a wall drug sticker on the back of their car like they did a generation 40 00:02:28.400 --> 00:02:34.080 ago. Radio stations don't give out bumper stickers anymore, but they did. 41 00:02:34.120 --> 00:02:37.319 It was a big thing when I first got into radio. You would slap 42 00:02:37.360 --> 00:02:39.800 your favorite radio stations bumper sticker on the back of your car to show off 43 00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:44.639 what you listened to. And we used to do a really cool thing when 44 00:02:44.639 --> 00:02:49.439 I was seventeen eighteen years old first in radio. We would go out and 45 00:02:49.520 --> 00:02:53.280 go on sticker patrol, where we would try to find somebody who had our 46 00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:57.439 sticker on the back. If we did, we'd get on a very primitive 47 00:02:57.479 --> 00:03:00.159 version of a car phone and we'd go live on the radio and say, 48 00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:06.439 Hey, I'm on Academy Boulevard right now, I'm behind a yellow Toyota license 49 00:03:06.439 --> 00:03:08.919 plate one two three four five, And if they pull over, I'm gonna 50 00:03:08.960 --> 00:03:13.159 give them a six pack of coke and I'm gonna give them a whatever. 51 00:03:13.199 --> 00:03:17.639 It was his shirt, and it was so cool because everybody in town knew 52 00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:23.080 the radio station van, so they would okay, So they would probably pull 53 00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:25.199 over almost if they they'd hear it on the radio. They hear it on 54 00:03:25.240 --> 00:03:28.719 the radio. If they were listening, they would hear it live on the 55 00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:30.879 radio. Hey, Stave Ryan, I'm out here at a academy boulevard. 56 00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:34.439 If they pull over, they're in front of me, yellow Toyota. They'd 57 00:03:34.439 --> 00:03:37.639 look in the mirror and go, holy shit, I'm getting pulled over by 58 00:03:37.639 --> 00:03:43.759 the Kissing Kysn get it, Kissing Kysn Love Machine, which was the name 59 00:03:43.800 --> 00:03:49.039 of our van. And it was like a badass VET nineteen seventies era van. 60 00:03:49.719 --> 00:03:52.919 And everybody would be like, is there what a bed in the back? 61 00:03:53.240 --> 00:03:57.560 Yeah? No, there was like junken boxes in the back anyway, 62 00:03:58.319 --> 00:04:03.800 So send your emails in for the Minnesota Goodbye and become an official staff writer. 63 00:04:04.439 --> 00:04:10.000 All right, here we go. Here is the first one that I'm 64 00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:14.759 going to send any Send this to her name is Anna. Like everybody else, 65 00:04:14.800 --> 00:04:16.680 I think you've done a great job through the last couple of years and 66 00:04:16.800 --> 00:04:20.360 all the transitions between people on the show. It's been equally as entertaining for 67 00:04:20.399 --> 00:04:27.600 your nearly seven listeners as ever before. I really appreciate that I emailed before 68 00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:32.240 about the Haunting of Hillhouse and the subsequent shows after Dave and I agreed Hillhouse 69 00:04:32.319 --> 00:04:36.600 was excellent, Blind Manner was a hot pile of garbage, and Midnight Club 70 00:04:36.680 --> 00:04:40.360 was not as good as I had hoped. I am hoping for the new 71 00:04:40.399 --> 00:04:43.920 stories that are coming out on Netflix now called The Fall of the House of 72 00:04:44.040 --> 00:04:46.560 Usher Fingers Crossed. They get back to the roots of Hillhouse before that, 73 00:04:47.040 --> 00:04:53.360 because that shit was fire. Additionally, my husband and I started another horror 74 00:04:53.399 --> 00:04:58.079 show on Apple TV called The Servant, creepy, disgusting, wonderful October show. 75 00:04:58.079 --> 00:05:01.040 It is would recommend. God, I wish I could remember all of 76 00:05:01.079 --> 00:05:04.480 these shows that people recommend, because here's what happens. Susan and I will 77 00:05:04.519 --> 00:05:08.759 be like, well, we're watching Suits right now, but sometimes we go 78 00:05:09.079 --> 00:05:14.319 I don't really want to watch Suits again. What is a show that Jenny 79 00:05:14.439 --> 00:05:17.439 or Fallen or somebody who listens recommended, and I can never remember what they 80 00:05:17.439 --> 00:05:21.000 were. They're usually so Shit's Creak was like one of the top ones where 81 00:05:21.040 --> 00:05:26.519 like you started watching it later and I was. I was guilty of it 82 00:05:26.560 --> 00:05:30.839 too, though, because Fallen found it so early on and I think she 83 00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:33.639 talked about it on a podcast or something, and then I started watching it. 84 00:05:33.639 --> 00:05:34.959 I was like, oh my god, this is so funny, and 85 00:05:34.959 --> 00:05:39.079 she was like, yeah, I mean I mentioned that. And another one 86 00:05:39.240 --> 00:05:43.720 is have you started watching Oh my gosh, now, oh the Bear. 87 00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:46.879 It's the I have not know. You told me about that one, and 88 00:05:46.920 --> 00:05:49.240 I have not. Okay, so that is what I highly recommend to anyone. 89 00:05:49.399 --> 00:05:53.600 But I was raving about it, and I had started watching once the 90 00:05:53.639 --> 00:05:57.199 second season came out this past summer, and then I found out once again 91 00:05:57.759 --> 00:06:00.000 Fallen had watched the first season and had talked about it like a year prior. 92 00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:03.040 And I was like, man, I just don't remember like her ever 93 00:06:03.160 --> 00:06:06.160 talking about it, because you forget, there's so many shows out there you 94 00:06:06.240 --> 00:06:09.920 forget. No, you totally do. And she would talk about Shit's Creek 95 00:06:09.959 --> 00:06:14.040 and she would say I think she even went to a seminar for lack of 96 00:06:14.079 --> 00:06:15.720 a better word, whether they were all the cast members were at the State 97 00:06:15.800 --> 00:06:20.680 Theater or somewhere, and you got to ask David and Alexis and Moira and 98 00:06:20.720 --> 00:06:26.439 the dad's name John Johnny asked them questions and hear them talk about stories from 99 00:06:26.480 --> 00:06:28.680 the show. And she came in one day going, yeah, I went 100 00:06:28.720 --> 00:06:30.839 to that it was so cool, and I'm like, who cares because I 101 00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:33.360 didn't know the show. But then I thought, oh man, that would 102 00:06:33.360 --> 00:06:38.240 have been really cool. Yep. I wish the show Suits would have done, 103 00:06:38.279 --> 00:06:40.279 would do something like that. I know it's been off the air for 104 00:06:40.319 --> 00:06:43.079 a while, but I thought I saw something in the past week or two 105 00:06:43.160 --> 00:06:46.680 that they were maybe coming back when new seasons. I swear I think I 106 00:06:46.680 --> 00:06:49.199 saw it. I saw the offices coming. No, I saw it about 107 00:06:49.199 --> 00:06:53.199 Suits and it was like, I think it said it was given would get 108 00:06:53.279 --> 00:06:57.240 rid of some of the characters. But what's the Markle Megan Markle, the 109 00:06:57.279 --> 00:06:59.279 one that's on it. Yeah, well she obviously will not be on it. 110 00:06:59.360 --> 00:07:01.879 Yeah, No, it said that she wasn't she would Maybe I didn't 111 00:07:01.920 --> 00:07:05.839 read this article very No, I swear I actually saw this in the last 112 00:07:05.839 --> 00:07:13.600 week or two. The most gorgeous woman on TV right now is Donna from 113 00:07:13.959 --> 00:07:18.879 Suits because Number one, she's a redhead. I love redheads. She's tall, 114 00:07:19.920 --> 00:07:23.480 she is a bad ass. She says, I'm a bad ass. 115 00:07:23.560 --> 00:07:28.920 Are they all lawyers? She's a pairalegal, but she's super smart. And 116 00:07:28.959 --> 00:07:32.560 then Megan Markle is a pairalegal and she's also super smart. But I just 117 00:07:32.600 --> 00:07:36.439 don't you know, I mean whatever, She's very attractive, duh. But 118 00:07:36.560 --> 00:07:42.079 Donna is the most attractive woman on TV right now. Well, I mean 119 00:07:42.199 --> 00:07:45.800 but previously, because it's not currently. Yeah, that's true. On a 120 00:07:45.800 --> 00:07:47.360 different note, I'm finishing up my maternity to leave with my first child, 121 00:07:47.439 --> 00:07:51.279 and I'm so sad. The only saving grace is that I have an early 122 00:07:51.319 --> 00:07:55.879 morning prep at school and I can listen to the Dave Ryan Show each morning. 123 00:07:55.920 --> 00:07:59.040 Thanks for all the laps and positivity. I'm going to need to get 124 00:07:59.079 --> 00:08:03.040 through this staff writer, Anna, and Anna, I'm going to take a 125 00:08:03.040 --> 00:08:09.360 picture of your screen and I'm going to send you the first staff writer sticker, 126 00:08:09.959 --> 00:08:18.040 So congratulations Anna. Next one, let me see I have not pre 127 00:08:18.040 --> 00:08:22.120 read these, okay, so I'm not going to That's actually not a good 128 00:08:22.120 --> 00:08:24.360 one for the radio, So I'm going to move on to another one. 129 00:08:24.240 --> 00:08:28.720 Good morning, says Ashley, I'm surprised you continued droop therapy yesterday after the 130 00:08:28.759 --> 00:08:33.039 woman who obviously drove home drunk. If she made the poor decision to cheat 131 00:08:33.039 --> 00:08:37.200 on her boyfriend and then got a hickey in her car without remembering it, 132 00:08:37.480 --> 00:08:41.480 she should have not driven home. That woman was a clown. I don't 133 00:08:41.519 --> 00:08:43.600 think she was drunk, because we asked her if she'd had been drinking, 134 00:08:43.639 --> 00:08:46.879 but she did not say that she was drunk. No, and she also 135 00:08:46.919 --> 00:08:50.000 didn't say that she didn't remember it. At least from my recollection, it 136 00:08:50.080 --> 00:08:54.039 was that she didn't realize it was happening when it was happening. That's what 137 00:08:54.120 --> 00:08:56.039 it was. I will question, though, Ashley, you're right in that 138 00:08:56.600 --> 00:09:00.799 how would you not know somebody's given you a freaking hickey on your neck. 139 00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:03.799 I don't think she was drunk, but you're right. I am so against 140 00:09:03.840 --> 00:09:05.799 drunk driving that if that would have been part of the story, I would 141 00:09:05.799 --> 00:09:09.519 have been like, no, sorry, it's like, oh yeah, you 142 00:09:09.519 --> 00:09:11.440 were drunk driving. Oh that's funny, Glad you got away, Glad you 143 00:09:11.480 --> 00:09:16.039 didn't kill anybody. I don't think that's funny. When people go, well, 144 00:09:16.080 --> 00:09:16.879 god, I hope you get home Okay, it's like, no, 145 00:09:16.960 --> 00:09:22.320 I hope you don't kill anybody on your way home. Ah nixt we I 146 00:09:22.320 --> 00:09:26.840 am not a Disney fanatic, but my advice on how to prepare for Disney 147 00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:33.039 here we go. I am very analytical and find the science and making the 148 00:09:33.080 --> 00:09:39.440 trip more efficient with less waiting in lines a worthy endeavor. I highly recommend 149 00:09:39.480 --> 00:09:43.480 that you use a Disney travel agent. We talked about this a couple of 150 00:09:43.519 --> 00:09:46.559 days ago. I know you talked about travel agents and don't generally use them, 151 00:09:46.600 --> 00:09:50.679 but for navigating Disney, they are a godsend. On top of using 152 00:09:50.679 --> 00:09:54.960 a travel agent to help book restaurants, hotels and create itiners, I also 153 00:09:54.000 --> 00:10:00.440 plead with anyone to pay for and understand the Lightning Past system. Yes, 154 00:10:00.519 --> 00:10:03.159 it is more money on top of an already outrageous amount, but given what 155 00:10:03.200 --> 00:10:07.360 you're already spending there, the Lightning Pass can double the rides you can go 156 00:10:07.440 --> 00:10:11.159 on and is more than worth it to maximize the fun. If you do 157 00:10:11.200 --> 00:10:15.039 it right and understand how to bend the system of your advantage, it can 158 00:10:15.039 --> 00:10:18.759 make a world of difference for enjoyment, especially for the kids. There's also 159 00:10:18.799 --> 00:10:24.840 a great video on YouTube called Disney's Fast Pass, a complicated history that gives 160 00:10:24.919 --> 00:10:31.440 fascinating insight into Disney's progression on this system. As always, thank you for 161 00:10:31.519 --> 00:10:37.279 both for being great at what you do. Staff writer Paul. The Lightning 162 00:10:37.320 --> 00:10:39.720 Pass thing is confusing, but if you figure it out, you got to 163 00:10:39.759 --> 00:10:43.399 watch like a twenty minute video to even understand how Lightning Pass work. Yeah, 164 00:10:43.440 --> 00:10:46.960 I haven't been to Disney since I think they infiltrated all that stuff in 165 00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:50.519 there. I think there was something where you could kind of budge the line 166 00:10:50.559 --> 00:10:54.080 a little bit, but that has changed so drastically since the last time I 167 00:10:54.240 --> 00:10:58.000 was at Disney. It is and that's the thing about Disney is the lines 168 00:11:00.159 --> 00:11:03.879 us and the Lightning Pass. I think you reserve in advance, like, 169 00:11:03.879 --> 00:11:07.759 oh, okay, I want to go on Peter Pan's flight today between noon 170 00:11:07.919 --> 00:11:11.639 and twelve forty five. So you reserve your spot and you show up in 171 00:11:11.679 --> 00:11:16.679 the Lightning Pass line and only people with a reservation can get in the Lightning 172 00:11:16.720 --> 00:11:20.440 Pass line. Okay, And it shows up on your Disney Watch and I 173 00:11:20.440 --> 00:11:24.039 mean little wristband, and so it's worth it. But it is. It's 174 00:11:24.080 --> 00:11:30.080 funny, Paul, that going to Disney World has become so complicated to get 175 00:11:30.120 --> 00:11:31.600 on a ride, you have to watch a twenty minute video on how to 176 00:11:31.679 --> 00:11:35.320 use lightning pass, so thank you for that one. I feel like as 177 00:11:35.360 --> 00:11:37.919 an adult now, since I haven't gone since I was nine years old, 178 00:11:37.960 --> 00:11:41.960 I would really like Disney. But my problem is one of my least favorite 179 00:11:41.000 --> 00:11:43.759 things in the world is waiting in line. So I don't know that I 180 00:11:43.840 --> 00:11:48.039 really would like I just I know so many people who do Disney as adults, 181 00:11:48.080 --> 00:11:50.279 like couples that go that are my age, like, they don't have 182 00:11:50.360 --> 00:11:54.080 kids, they just go on their own, And to me, the thought 183 00:11:54.120 --> 00:11:56.519 of just waiting in line for rides all day is not fun. No, 184 00:11:56.679 --> 00:12:01.120 And that is that is the agony of going to is the lines, and 185 00:12:01.159 --> 00:12:03.320 you get up to the line and it usually gives an estimate like ninety five 186 00:12:03.360 --> 00:12:07.919 minute waight or fifteen minute wait, and of course the ones that you really 187 00:12:07.919 --> 00:12:11.840 want to go on have the one hundred and thirty minute wait or whatever it 188 00:12:11.919 --> 00:12:18.120 is. And we went five eight years ago to go on Avatar, which 189 00:12:18.200 --> 00:12:22.679 was supposed to be this amazing ride, so we got up early, went 190 00:12:22.759 --> 00:12:26.279 to the other park. It was not in the park that we were staying 191 00:12:26.279 --> 00:12:28.240 in, so I think it was an animal Kingdom. So we get to 192 00:12:28.320 --> 00:12:33.840 Animal Kingdom and the line was already four hours long before the park even opened. 193 00:12:35.360 --> 00:12:39.519 We've waited in it for about two hours and we finally said we've waited 194 00:12:39.559 --> 00:12:43.120 for two hours. It's another two hours. This is no ride is worth 195 00:12:43.159 --> 00:12:46.799 a four hour wait? Yeah, so we got out. We went on 196 00:12:46.919 --> 00:12:52.759 Jungle Cruise. I think I don't remember for sure, but yeah, the 197 00:12:52.799 --> 00:12:56.480 lines are are awful, no question. Good morning, David, Jenny. 198 00:12:56.679 --> 00:13:00.559 It's five thirty am and I just finished feeding my six month old back to 199 00:13:00.600 --> 00:13:03.559 sleep. Want to send a shout out to single parents out there. My 200 00:13:03.639 --> 00:13:07.240 husband recently gone for a week for work for a week, and although his 201 00:13:07.360 --> 00:13:11.120 help is minimal, it's still definitely better than nothing. Being a single parent 202 00:13:11.159 --> 00:13:16.320 for the week was exhausting and raise my anxiety greatly. I want to give 203 00:13:16.360 --> 00:13:20.200 a shout out and praise the single parents that do this every day. You 204 00:13:20.399 --> 00:13:24.480 rock, keep it up. Being a parent is already a thankless job, 205 00:13:24.879 --> 00:13:28.679 so I know it cannot be easy. But your kid deserves everything you've done 206 00:13:28.679 --> 00:13:33.399 for them, and they will appreciate it and recognize it one day, maybe 207 00:13:33.440 --> 00:13:35.080 in the distant future, but they will also Jenny, if you do end 208 00:13:35.159 --> 00:13:41.440 up getting pregnant for radio content. I encourage you to ensure either your or 209 00:13:41.519 --> 00:13:46.559 Andrew's parents are near because I cannot imagine how people have kids without their parents 210 00:13:46.600 --> 00:13:50.639 nearby to help watch the kid. We had two weddings to attend since our 211 00:13:50.679 --> 00:13:54.799 son was born, and this early, I can't imagine leaving him with anyone 212 00:13:54.799 --> 00:13:58.639 other than my family. But praise to the parents who can or just have 213 00:13:58.799 --> 00:14:05.000 to. I'm sure it's not easy. Oh and she does put her sticker 214 00:14:05.080 --> 00:14:07.399 her address for the staff writer a sticker, So I'm going to take a 215 00:14:07.480 --> 00:14:11.600 picture of this and I will mail these out later today. Okay, yeah, 216 00:14:11.639 --> 00:14:15.440 if I had a child right now, I do live four and a 217 00:14:15.480 --> 00:14:18.240 half hours away from my parents, but Andrew's parents do live in Saint Paul, 218 00:14:18.679 --> 00:14:22.320 so they're decently closed. But like they both work full time and they 219 00:14:22.360 --> 00:14:26.519 are probably more social than we are. Honestly, those two have so many 220 00:14:26.519 --> 00:14:31.120 activities on the weekends, like they were just in New Orleans. They're always 221 00:14:31.159 --> 00:14:35.759 doing all the fun festivals around here. So I feel like I watch my 222 00:14:35.879 --> 00:14:39.799 sister drop the kids off at my mom's constantly because it's like a four minute 223 00:14:39.840 --> 00:14:41.840 drive like fonn lax. Small enough she can drop them off. It's very 224 00:14:41.840 --> 00:14:45.600 simple, Okay, I think it'd be a little bit more complicated to get 225 00:14:45.639 --> 00:14:48.759 as much help with Andrew's parents. They would do it, but I think 226 00:14:48.799 --> 00:14:52.679 that they also have a life of their own, so I do know, 227 00:14:52.759 --> 00:14:58.200 I hear that that you want to be around somebody's parents if you're having kids, 228 00:14:58.200 --> 00:15:01.559 for that extra help. We you know, it's fun because we raised 229 00:15:01.559 --> 00:15:05.559 Alison without family around. We raised her in Arizona for two years or so 230 00:15:05.960 --> 00:15:11.639 and then here for the rest of her childhood, and we didn't have family, 231 00:15:11.759 --> 00:15:13.240 but she was just one and there were two of us, so it 232 00:15:13.320 --> 00:15:16.639 was not difficult. And you know, we'd have a babysitter once in a 233 00:15:16.639 --> 00:15:20.120 while when she got older. When Carson was around. Beth, my older 234 00:15:20.200 --> 00:15:24.639 daughter, lived here and went to the U, and so she was around 235 00:15:24.639 --> 00:15:26.080 to help out. She'd live with us for a lot of the time in 236 00:15:26.120 --> 00:15:30.039 the seven, most of the time in summer, always vacations and weekends. 237 00:15:30.960 --> 00:15:35.360 But she helped out a lot too. But I don't know what Alison and 238 00:15:35.600 --> 00:15:39.120 Justin, my daughter and her husband, would do with their two little girls 239 00:15:39.159 --> 00:15:43.639 three and one without grandparents around. And they've got both sets of grandparents here. 240 00:15:43.960 --> 00:15:48.000 To help out. So because man, let me tell you, Jenny, 241 00:15:48.559 --> 00:15:52.600 when those girls come over, I hear you tell me it's exhausted. 242 00:15:52.720 --> 00:15:56.000 It is exacting me something. Then you finally get that person set and then 243 00:15:56.039 --> 00:15:58.480 the other one needs something, and it's just a constant like back and forth. 244 00:15:58.600 --> 00:16:03.159 It is very either one needs attention or one wants attention. So Ava 245 00:16:03.279 --> 00:16:07.559 loves Pipa, that's what she calls me, Pepa. But Sunday morning, 246 00:16:07.600 --> 00:16:10.720 I had some work to do because you know, we have a show to 247 00:16:10.759 --> 00:16:12.080 get ready for the week to get ready for. So I'm sitting at the 248 00:16:12.120 --> 00:16:18.360 table on my computer and she's trying to get my attention and she literally picture 249 00:16:18.399 --> 00:16:21.879 this in your mind. She crawls up on the chair next to me, 250 00:16:22.799 --> 00:16:26.320 leans into my face an inch from my face, and goes e, big 251 00:16:26.320 --> 00:16:32.159 smile, like have not gotten your attention any other way, Pepa. So 252 00:16:32.240 --> 00:16:37.080 I'm gonna do my best as a three year old to get your attention by 253 00:16:37.159 --> 00:16:40.519 getting up next to you, leaning on you, just sitting in your face 254 00:16:40.559 --> 00:16:44.919 and biggest smile ever and going e. And I couldn't resist it, as 255 00:16:45.039 --> 00:16:48.039 like, okay, that was adorable because it was a desperate, last ditch 256 00:16:48.039 --> 00:16:53.759 attempt to get attention. Last one for now, and by the way, 257 00:16:53.799 --> 00:16:59.879 one other rule on the Minnesota Goodbye. What is it called staff right, 258 00:17:00.720 --> 00:17:04.000 We need to read your email for you to get the sticker, so you 259 00:17:04.119 --> 00:17:07.319 can't just and people will send in something like hey, I want to be 260 00:17:07.319 --> 00:17:11.319 a staff writer to get my sticker. Well, we got to read your 261 00:17:11.359 --> 00:17:12.759 email for you to get a sticker, so if we don't read it, 262 00:17:14.160 --> 00:17:17.319 then it could be that it was maybe a little bit too long, or 263 00:17:17.359 --> 00:17:19.000 maybe we talked about that subject already. But I want you to get your 264 00:17:19.000 --> 00:17:23.440 sticker because that's pretty cool to put it on your yetty bottle or your laptop. 265 00:17:25.079 --> 00:17:29.039 Jessica says, listening to the Minnesota Goodbye, I heard you talk about 266 00:17:29.039 --> 00:17:32.519 buy nothing groups. I did not understand them at first and wanted to share 267 00:17:32.559 --> 00:17:36.839 that I've come to find out they are awesome, much better than bringing items 268 00:17:36.880 --> 00:17:40.319 to goodwill because you know somebody will actually use it. I've given away old 269 00:17:40.319 --> 00:17:44.319 sandals, close workout equipment, petiems, etc. It's nice to know somebody 270 00:17:44.359 --> 00:17:47.559 will actually give it a second life. A great way to declutter. I 271 00:17:47.680 --> 00:17:51.160 do think these groups need to draw the line somewhere, though I personally don't 272 00:17:51.160 --> 00:17:55.359 ever take open items. But I see people pick up half you shampoo, 273 00:17:55.480 --> 00:17:59.480 lotion, makeup. Weirds me out. But I'm also glad it doesn't go 274 00:17:59.519 --> 00:18:02.519 to waste. Yeah, there is like stuff like that are half open, 275 00:18:02.559 --> 00:18:04.839 like food items, but that kind of it's fine that it stays. But 276 00:18:04.920 --> 00:18:08.720 yeah, there are some weird, weirder things on there. Sometimes she goes 277 00:18:08.720 --> 00:18:11.920 on to say, and wrap it up the email, I'm going to open 278 00:18:11.039 --> 00:18:15.519 up that window again. However, some things just belong in the trash. 279 00:18:15.960 --> 00:18:21.079 I once saw someone giving away the sprite from a two liter bottle because they 280 00:18:21.079 --> 00:18:25.799 needed the bottle for their kids' science experiment, but didn't want the sprite to 281 00:18:25.960 --> 00:18:29.920 go to waste, so they said somebody could come by pour the sprite in 282 00:18:29.960 --> 00:18:33.519 their own container. Well, update, the next day they had to pour 283 00:18:33.559 --> 00:18:37.440 the sprite into another container because the kid really needed the bottle. So somebody 284 00:18:37.440 --> 00:18:40.400 could come get the sprite with their own container. To pick up this sprite 285 00:18:40.480 --> 00:18:41.839 that has now been open and put in a random container. And guess what 286 00:18:41.960 --> 00:18:45.039 somebody did. They picked it up the next day. I am all for 287 00:18:45.200 --> 00:18:49.200 sustainability, but my gosh, fifty cents worth of flat sprite can just go 288 00:18:49.240 --> 00:18:56.359 down the drain somebody came by and picked up sprite. That is astounding and 289 00:18:56.519 --> 00:19:00.839 impressive at the same time. Thanks for listening to my buye nothing story. 290 00:19:00.960 --> 00:19:04.359 Join one today, Jessica. Thank you Jessica for being on the Minnesota Goodbye. 291 00:19:04.839 --> 00:19:10.480 So I'm clicking buttons here to make sure that I don't read the same 292 00:19:10.559 --> 00:19:17.039 email again.
