All right, let's get started with the latest Minnesota goodbye and dive into the
emails and see what we got here. Here we go. First, one
from Marie says, hey, since it's impossible to get through on no phone
screen or Friday, here's what she wants to say now that it's getting nice
out and people are out walking. Friendly reminder of people. When you're walking
on a street with no sidewalks, the rule is you walk against traffic on
the right, on the left side of the road. I keep getting weird
looks, and I'm thinking, I'm right, bitch, you're wrong. Yeah,
you do. I learned that when I was a kid in boy Scouts
safety. They don't get like nailed from behind by a car. The funny
thing is you ride your bicycle on the right side of the road and you
walk against traffic. Yeah, and I don't know, I mean, yeah,
okay, yeah. I think in your neighborhood you can kind of do
whatever you want to. But for the most part, yeah, because people
should be going slowly enough through your neighborhood. Always. Well, I've yelled
at a couple of people, usually as kids, honestly as kids, and
I got yelled at by a neighbor one time because I was apparently going through
too fast. She was standing in her yard and she said slow down,
and she was right, Yeah, I was going way too fast. I
was probably going I don't know, ten over the same maybe something like that.
Just a reminder. Okay, good reminder, Thank you. Next one.
This is so weird that I'm not I would. I was going to
bring this up on the radio, but it's so weird that I don't want
to bring it up on the radio. It's just gross. Oh so,
Dave and team, I'm hoping you guys can clear something up that left me
absolutely dumbfounded. This week, my husband and I were grocery shopping and,
like clockwork, somewhere between the produce and the meat section, my husband gives
me the look and said, I need to go. Then he proceeds to
run out to the bathroom. He eventually meets my daughter and I and the
pickle aisle, and the first thing out of his mouth is, I feel
sorry for the guy who's going to find that I left an iceberg in there.
I brushed it off, thinking it was a joke, but later that
night I asked him if he really didn't flush the toilet. It's then that
I found out this is a thing. Apparently, if guys have an impressive
poop, they leave it in the toilet for the next guy to witness.
He told me this happens frequently, where he will walk into a stall and
find someone else's trophy turd that they left for all others to see. I
figured there was no one better than Jenny and Fallon and the listeners of Katie
would be to help me figure out if this is a legit thing or this
is just more proof that my husband is weird. I will jump in first
as a guy and say, I've never heard of that. It's disgusting,
it's rude, it's impolite, it's immature. It's immature to the point where
it makes me a little concerned that your husband would be like so thrilled with
his poop. That's disgusting and rude. And I'm sorry, I don't think
it's the least bit funny. I don't because I am I've never heard of
this before in my life. I mean, of course, you've gone into
a where someone either didn't flush or it didn't go all the way. But
I am not a guy, so I guess I know I would state,
as a woman in same as you who messaged us, that there's no way
that that is something we do. So I will say any guy I have
dated, they've never mentioned it. Jake has never mentioned that. I've never
heard of that. I'm sure, like anything, maybe it is a thing
we just don't know about, maybe there's a subwritit about it. But it
sounds so gross to me, and I'm so happy that's not even a rumored
thing that women do. No. I know that some people like send pictures
to the like Corey Folia used to send pictures of her poop to her sister,
and I thought that was gross. I would never do that. That's
just gross. I don't think there's anything funny about that. And I'm like,
I'm sorry that I'm not laughing along with you, but I think that
your husband is like, like, if you're so enamored with your size of
your poop that you got to leave it there, that's I'm sorry, that's
just that's not right. I would wonder what other areas your husband is immature
in or rude in, because I think that's rude and no guy is going
to walk into the bathroom and go Damn, they're gonna go, what fucking
idiot didn't flush the toilet? I think they're right. Okay, then onto
the next email. Here, by the way, sending your thoughts on that
one, because Jessica, I don't mean to hurt your feelings, and I
hope it doesn't hurt your feelings. But that is the way I see it.
They only send them if you know that this is a thing. If
not, I don't know that. We want to extend the conversation on it
too far. Yeah, we'll do one day, one day, it replies,
and see what happens. The next one is a poop email too,
So I'm going to skip that one for now. Maybe come back to it
later. Um, this one is about it says Minnesota goodbye. Inappropriate kid
comment. Okay, they I'm trying to remember to put it in context.
Here. We were talking about a woman who wrote in and she said,
I'll be out with my daughter and I'm pregnant and somebody will yell downtown the
wolf whistle or the say you look good or want to hit that or want
to put a baby in you or whatever, and they don't know what to
say. And we said we had a big discussion about this on the radio
Friday, because she doesn't want to flip someone off in front of her children.
You know what I mean, Like, she can't do this standard.
She wants to insult them without doing something bad in front of her kids.
This person says, when I was young, I used to yell out to
people, whether in a car or at the state fair, if they were
smoking, and I would say you're gonna die soon. I was probably like
four years old. I thought I was doing them a favor because they didn't
realize it was bad for them. Clearly, not the best thing to yell
to people. Oh that's for probably a different topic. Okay, it sounds
like that was when we talked about embarrassing things that your kid has said.
Oh ye gotcha. Next one Hiday fallon Jenny in the morning, Zoo.
First, I want to thank you for being such a big part of my
life for the past fifteen years. This past year in particular has been unexpectedly
hard, but having you all to listen to every day has made the tough
times a little brighter and it truly means so much. Thank you. I'm
sorry it's been a rough year for you. That's awful. Any who,
I was walking in downtown still Water a few weeks ago went into a new
store they have on Main Street. I can't remember the name. Cool vintage
store that sold mostly old concert ts. Now, I'm not one to buy
used or vintage clothing, but my husband is a big concert t fanattic and
it was very impressed with the selection. Sounds like a cool store. While
I was waiting for him to finish his browsing, I was peeking around the
women's tops and came across an old KDWB jingle Ball shirt s attached. I've
never been to a jingle Ball, not for lack of trying, so I'm
not sure what year this shirt was from, but the top acts were Ed
Sheer and Train and Ellie Golding. Wow, what a lineup. The biggest
surprise to me is they were selling this T shirt for eighteen dollars. My
question for you guys, what are your thoughts on this price for an old
jingle Ball T? And would you buy an old and very used concert T
from a concert you never went to for inter rate between fifteen and fifty dollars.
I'm used to buying use shirts and garage sales for a quarter for reference.
I'm only twenty seven. Maybe it is an unpopular opinion to not want
to spend money on these, but who knows. I would love to hear
your thoughts from your bff Rachel and in Hugo and yes, Fallin lots of
Rachel's listened to the show, and yes, Dave, you're huge, and
Hugo love you all lots and keep the laughs coming. That is from Rachel.
I have to open the image of its twenty twelve. I believe it
was my first jingle ball because I remember train Ed Cheron and Ellie Golding and
that was before Ellie Golding and and Ed Sheeron had their weird dating breakup cheating
on situation because he said stood side stage and watched her perform. I believe
you're right because Si was there and Sid did Gungam style and that was he
did the same song twice. Also, I'll tell you why I remember I
think it was your first or second jingle ball because One Republic was there and
you did Fallon's Hot Dish where you fed one Republic your hot dish that you
made. They must have been at two then, because I didn't start in
that until my third year there, I think. So the first year was
that one. Twenty thirteen I think was the Miley Cyrus Robin Thick year,
and I think the next year after would have been my Hot Dish Backstreet Boys
Nick Jonas one Republic year. Just figured out it was December twenty twelve because
it was Tuesday, No Tuesday, December fourth, and if I look at
December twenty twelve, the fourth was on a Tuesday, so that is exactly
when it was. I don't know. I think if you want to buy
shirts like that, I think it's kind of cool. I don't know that
I would personally buy an old concert tea that I never went to, but
I still treasure some of my old concerts. I would if it was cool
and unique, like a really cool design, or like a really funny vintage
one, like a hand A Montana concert one. But I would I feel
bad, but I wouldn't buy like a radio station jingle ball kind of vintage
tea, especially not for seventeen dollars. I bet you can find those a
good Will for three. Okay. Next one is not necessarily a Minnesota Goodbye,
So I'm going to skip it and maybe we'll come back to it.
It is about buying books with swear words in them. Four kids. But
let's go to this one. I'm thirty three, recently bought my first home,
moved in a few weeks ago. This comes as a huge life event
after years of saving. I've been officially moved in for about a week.
It's just me and the two kitties, and I take a lot of pride
in them, in being the breadwinner of our family. You should. Here's
the thing I've been noticing. It's been tough to settle in. Of course,
when a new home comes a new routine, new sounds, etc.
But I kind of had it in my head that I'd be so stoked and
finally moved in that I'd be filled with joy. It got me thinking this
may be more common than I realize. After all, the human brain does
not does have a natural aversion to change. So two things. Wondering if
you have any suggestions for new home rituals or ways to settle in feel grounded,
calm the mind, etc. So let's start with that one. I
don't quite relate to that one. I think unpacking and settling in and moving
everything in. But she's been there a few weeks I'm gonna guess she's already
done that one. I would say one of the things that makes a house
feel like a home is cooking. When I go to Colorado, I really
enjoy cooking in the house in Colorado because it sits empty ninety percent of the
year, and I really enjoy filling it with smells and sounds of cooking and
bacon frying. So I would say, make sure you're cooking and maybe do
something like make popcorn a couple of times a week so it'll smell like something
delicious in your home cookies. Maybe I always say, you know, they
always say it's what makes a home or the people in it or whatever.
So I feel like your cats are your thing for me. The two houses
i've I've purchased, I moved into them with someone, so I think maybe
that made it a little bit easier for me for it to feel like home.
But maybe having like a little housewarming would be nice. And if it's
your first home you purchased, you should be proud of that. Tell people
don't bring me a gift, I don't need anything, and then just maybe
have some like light desserts or apps and drinks and like be there with your
friends and maybe that'll like break in some new memories in that home and that
would be like a good way to start. Yeah, I think the housewarming
party sounds like a good idea. I think that people do make a home
and memories, memories create a home, and I think that memories are That's
still early in the game, but I'm sorry that you're feeling that way,
because I would really hope that when you moved in, you would get this
feeling like I'm home. I'm a hoolemowner now, So it'll come. I
think it'll come if there a scent there reminds you of someone you love,
like your mom or your grandma. Get it like a candle like that and
light it. I don't know, like things, are there other life events
that you anticipated for months or years and when you got there you had a
different reaction than you envisioned. No, I don't think so. No,
I can't think of anything like that. Yes and no, but like for
different reasons like I and obviously having kid was a very I envisioned all these
things, but I didn't envision for me. When I first had all of
was like how much peace and calm I felt because I'm not that way.
I'm not like a calm, peaceful person, So it was actually strange to
me to feel that way. I remember when I got married the first time,
when it was over, I felt like sad. Not because of the
marriage. I was sad because I loved planning the wedding and like doing this
stuff together with like my partner. And then there was almost like there wasn't
something to look forward to anymore. I wonder how and that sounds, and
I don't want that to sound bad. I understand that it was the marriage,
but it was like you planned this fun event, you had so much
fun with your friends. It was almost like a hangover, like a life
hangover. So it wasn't sadness that I was like, now I'm just with
the person I love. It was just like, oh, I want to
have another big fun party like that sometime and then I'll be honest. For
the second one, I didn't feel like that, but we didn't, like
I think, because I'd play and so much for my first one. The
second one, I was like, yeah, you know what I mean.
We were like, let's just have some people and have fun. Well,
can I make a comparison. I think it's like Christmas. I mean,
if you're really into Christmas and you do the tree, and you do your
yard and you put a big inflatable Rudolph in your yard and you put lights
up, and then Christmas is like parties and you'll have the family over,
and then Christmas Eve and you do the all matching pj's, and then Christmas
Day at five o'clock in the afternoon, you go, fuck yeah. I
think it's probably kind of the same thing. I don't know, but I
don't have never really had an event in my life where I said, ah,
that wasn't as cool as I thought it was going to be. It
could be. It's only where it's better than it was, though it kind
of like what it was, you didn't expect to feel how you felt.
Let's move to this one. This is probably perfect for the Minnesota Goodbye because
it's a little bit too political to put on the radio. So let's just
see what happens here. I got a topic has been heavy on my heart
and mind because I simply don't understand, So what better place to get it
off? By chest a sixth grader brought home a fiction book from our public
school and showed his parents. The language in it. The word fuck appears
ten times, the word fucking appears eight times again sixth grader, the word
dick three times, dick, hads two times, shiit two times, and
ask once. Two meetings were held with the school, one which was with
the school board, and they all voted the book should remain in circulation.
I am not a book banner, but how can the school district use taxpayer
money to purchase this? I am attaching a picture of the school boards rationale.
Their body language, including that of the superintendent and tendent, also speaks
volumes from a common sense approach, I would have thought they would have knowledged
this is not appropriate, pull it from the shelves and move on. The
school board also received four new members. So disappointed that nobody had the guts
or sense to disagree, I'll stop there for a second. A lot of
the time, it is very hard to disagree when you're in the minority.
It just is because you don't want to argue. You might not be a
good argue, and you don't want to stand out or insult the other people,
and you don't want to lose an argument either. I think a lot
of time people are hesitant to bring up an argument because they don't want somebody
to on the other side be a better argue and make you look stupid.
Yeah, but I do think that you absolutely can disagree with this. You
have a right to disagree with anything I think. I think, so,
okay, except for well, I mean, yeah, I have a right
to desert with anything. Yeah. I'll conclude by saying that the F word
is my go to swear word. I'm not a proud I just believe it's
inappropriate for the school to purchase and knowingly keep this book in our school if
folks are interested. Here's the name of the book, Heartstopper, Volume one.
Then they show a picture of the school board and there is a screen
behind the school board members during the meeting, and I'm going to read it
to you, okay. The headline on the screen is it like a PowerPoint
show. It says, why do we buy books with that language? Here
are the bullet point answers. The ultimate goal is to get kids reading.
Kids want to read authentic books, usually about kids around their age. The
reality is that some kids here see and use that kind of language, whether
it be with friends, online or internally. We do not promote or allow
that kind of language at school, but we recognize that language kids use with
friends is different than language they use with adults or teachers, just like the
language that adults use with co workers or the boss is different than the language
they use with their friend group. I think that's a good explanation. Well,
where do you draw the line, though, do you draw do you
go well, sixth graders yes, fifth graders no? Or do you say
well, I got a second grader and she says fuck all the time.
So do you then sell it to second let second graders check it out?
Well, obviously the answer is no. I googled it, by the way,
because I would like to know what the book is about. Okay,
So it says Heartstopper is an ongoing young adult LGBTQ plus graphic novel and webcomics
series. It says Heartstopper is about friendship, loyalty, and mental illness.
So to me, it sounds like it is actually a progressive book, and
it makes sense to me. Their explanation that kids are more likely to read
something that doesn't seem so quote unquote Pollyanna right like so like not relatable,
out of touch, so old school by going into what you're saying, Dave,
and what she's probably saying, what is the appropriate age? I don't
know the answer to that. I think we all agree anything before, at
least before middle schools, definitely know, But then you have to make the
decision of when then middle school, high school ever, Well, I think
the question is then it becomes why does the school board get to make that
decision that parents should have a part in, right, And I think that's
part of the problem. If if a school was like, you know what,
We're going to go ahead and put nasty sex novels fifty Shades of Gray
into the high school library, there are probably some parents that are like,
Yeah, that's that's super cool. Kids love that stuff. Well, of
course they would, but I don't think it has a place in the high
school library. So I think the problem is that I don't like about it
is that parents don't get a vote. But then again, if only five
out of a hundred parents had a problem with it, do those five get
their way and not have it in the library? New question, yea that
I would have. It seems to me like it is not required reading.
It is just a book that is available in the library, so it's not
required reading. So I wonder if if there is like a they could look
at the history of that book. How often is that book being checked out?
Is it being checked out non stop? So that shows the school this
is something that kids want and they're desiring, or is it like it's being
made a big deal out of nothing, Like no one's checking this book out
anyway. I don't know. I don't know. Yeah, Okay, that's
a good point. If it's not required reading, then I would have a
little bit less of a problem. They didn't say anything about it is a
fiction book from the library. Then the public school, well, they didn't
even say it was a library, to be honest with you. They say
it's a fiction book brought home. And I don't think it says anywhere that
it's in the library. But I also can't imagine that it's required reading because
that would really cross the line with me. It's like, I don't want
my kids to read that. Maybe I'm very religious or very strict and I
don't want my kids to read that. So I'll leave it open to you.
This is a good one to respond to on the Minnesota Goodbye And here's
what I think we should do. We should make a deadline of two days.
So we'll read about this tomorrow and then Wednesday, and then we'll be
done. Because what happens is people will hear us talk about this on Wednesday
and go, oh, I want to I'm riled up. I want to
write in. But then we kind of keep reading about the same subject.
So we'll do Tomorrow and Wednesday and then we'll move on perfect. Okay,
last one. Yes, it is the last one, and it's the one
with poops. So basically they said single ply toilet paper should be illegal.
They are taken better care of their body with gut health and more water.
I am not constipated now and I poop the more often, but single ply
toilet papers should be illegal. I would gladly have my salary cut five thousand
dollars to supply all the office staff with something that won't lead be feeling like
I put my butthole on a straight razor. Just bring your own toilet paper
and then so you don't have to provide a five thousand dollars of your paycheck
to people. I didn't give an f when it was something that only occurs
once so often, but now twice a day f this crappy toilet paper I'm
suffering? Is this why some people refuse to pull at work? Because now
I get it? Should I bring my own from home? Or would that
be off the rails? Psycho? You don't have to put it in a
bag because I think he'd be embarrassed carrying that to the bathroom. So you
have to have some kind of like tote you take with you. You're gonna
give you a better solution. Wipes you can get Continelle wipes that you can
fit little portable ones in your pocket, or if you're a woman, you
can take it in your purse in there, but don't flush them. I
don't think you're supposed to flush them, but I think it does anyway.
Don't flush that. That's true. But you know what, if that might
be a solution for you, then you might want to try that too.
And that is going to be it for the Minnesota goodbye. If you got
any emails thoughts on books in schools or two toilet paper, or especially I
want to know about whether guys leave a trophy poop for other men to look
at? Ty tur Dave, Okay, then send that to Ryan Show at
KDWB dot com,
