WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.480 --> 00:00:05.559 All right, Jenny, here we go with the final Minnesota goodbye of the 2 00:00:05.960 --> 00:00:09.679 year. I'm going to start off with this email, because that's what the 3 00:00:09.679 --> 00:00:13.160 show is really all about. His emails. This one says is from Ali. 4 00:00:13.279 --> 00:00:16.960 She lives all the way in Berkeley, California, and she said, 5 00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:20.000 I wrote the Freaky Friday email the other day and Dave was wondering how I 6 00:00:20.039 --> 00:00:23.800 found out about y'all since I live in Berkeley, California. Now, well, 7 00:00:23.839 --> 00:00:27.320 i moved to California from Minnesota, but I'm originally from Wisconsin. When 8 00:00:27.320 --> 00:00:30.399 I first moved to Minnesota, I listened to you on the way home from 9 00:00:30.519 --> 00:00:33.960 night shift that I've been hooked ever since. Thank you. But it got 10 00:00:33.960 --> 00:00:38.479 me thinking about my hometown in Wisconsin. Have you ever urban dictionaried your hometown. 11 00:00:38.640 --> 00:00:44.520 I'm from West Alice aka Dirty Stallus, and this is what Urban Dictionary 12 00:00:44.520 --> 00:00:49.039 had to say about my hometown. Composed of a dead industrial center, the 13 00:00:49.079 --> 00:00:53.560 city's economy now runs on strip malls and fast food. The most common employment 14 00:00:53.600 --> 00:00:59.399 is one fast food worker, two hopeful firefighter, cop three mechanic. This 15 00:00:59.560 --> 00:01:03.200 leads to chronic drinking depression and eventually cruising or just hanging out by the railroad 16 00:01:03.280 --> 00:01:10.079 tracks ge is and here is a quote from a like a typical West Alice, 17 00:01:10.159 --> 00:01:12.920 Wisconsin resident man, I seen a guy waiting outside a liquor store at 18 00:01:12.959 --> 00:01:18.040 eight fifty five with a ponytail and a porn stash on a Tuesday only in 19 00:01:18.079 --> 00:01:22.319 West Alice. I wonder what Coon Rapids would say. Please send me a 20 00:01:22.319 --> 00:01:25.400 staff rider sticker all the way to California. I sat down last night did 21 00:01:25.400 --> 00:01:27.400 about twenty staff rider sticker, so I think it is probably on its way. 22 00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:33.680 But let's go ahead and Urban dictionary Coon Rapids, Minnesota. Yeah, 23 00:01:33.719 --> 00:01:38.319 and you know Urban Dictionary is like a very irreverent, funny, sometimes dirty 24 00:01:40.400 --> 00:01:45.159 website, So let's check it out here. Coon Rapids, a city in 25 00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:49.040 the northern suburbs of Minneapolis, has the Hyatt mullet per capital ratio of any 26 00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:53.640 city in Minnesota. If you go to Minard's in Coon Rapids, you're sure 27 00:01:53.640 --> 00:01:59.200 to see at least five mullets and at least fifteen NASCAR T shirts. Here 28 00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:05.719 is another one, also known as Crapids, a northern suburb of Minneapolis. 29 00:02:05.760 --> 00:02:10.599 Inhabitants are mocked for being rednecks or hicks. A typical sentence from a Coon 30 00:02:10.680 --> 00:02:15.960 Rapids citizen Mike's mullett got caught in the doors he reached to grab his paps 31 00:02:15.960 --> 00:02:19.719 from the pickup after the Coon Rapids Hockey Hockey tournament. Okay, that's kind 32 00:02:19.719 --> 00:02:23.800 of funny. Coon Rapids is a northern suburb of Minneapolis. It has really 33 00:02:23.800 --> 00:02:29.400 bad schools, full of racist teachers, and it is full of a bunch 34 00:02:29.479 --> 00:02:31.759 of black kids and a bunch of weird white kids. Their sports suck. 35 00:02:32.919 --> 00:02:38.840 They have really cute girls. It's like, Okay, then it gets not. 36 00:02:38.199 --> 00:02:44.639 It sounds like a Wikipedia site that anyone can contribute to. I know 37 00:02:44.680 --> 00:02:46.159 that it is, but I was like, all right, settle down there. 38 00:02:47.240 --> 00:02:50.960 Here's another one. And again I haven't preread these, so they're probably 39 00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:55.800 offensive. Coon Rapids Middle School a ratchet ass school where everyone thinks they are 40 00:02:57.840 --> 00:03:00.680 I don't want to say that one. All of the girls there are single 41 00:03:00.719 --> 00:03:07.199 and desperate. Once they be taking off their weave. They okay, so 42 00:03:07.319 --> 00:03:09.560 that's offensive. Can I read you a funny one from you, please? 43 00:03:09.560 --> 00:03:13.240 From my hometown? Please? Yeah. So I'm not going to read what 44 00:03:13.319 --> 00:03:15.800 Fonolac, Wisconsin is on ourban dictionary because it's actually just facts about it and 45 00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:20.199 it's like four paragraphs long. But there's one that is titled Fondalact girl. 46 00:03:20.520 --> 00:03:23.080 Okay, and it says, so a girl from Finalac, Wisconsin. You 47 00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:25.360 can spot a Fanalact girl by her bad hair, bad clothes, and bad 48 00:03:25.400 --> 00:03:29.680 makeup. She looks ten to fifteen years older than what she really is due 49 00:03:29.759 --> 00:03:32.639 to cigarettes and alcohol. Her idea of a good time is going to Dillinger's 50 00:03:32.719 --> 00:03:37.400 on Main Street and dancing to severely outdated music, all while thinking she is 51 00:03:37.439 --> 00:03:40.039 hot. Shit. Condillact girls like to date men with mullets, no fear 52 00:03:40.120 --> 00:03:45.879 gear, and every now and then members only jackets considered to be the most 53 00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:49.680 the utmost insult. So that is what a font Ofalact girl is. That's 54 00:03:49.719 --> 00:03:52.479 me, baby, that I look ten to fifteen years older than what I 55 00:03:52.520 --> 00:03:55.360 am. Yeah you do, Yeah, I know it for drinking in my 56 00:03:55.479 --> 00:04:00.439 twenties. Yeah. Here's chan Hassen, a small ish town in the metro 57 00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:03.479 area of Minneapolis, referred to by locals as Chan It is much cooler than 58 00:04:03.520 --> 00:04:08.439 Schaska. Here's a conversation sample, Bob, Hey, guys, let's go 59 00:04:08.479 --> 00:04:12.680 hang out at Perkins john which one Bob chan Hassen of course. Okay. 60 00:04:12.680 --> 00:04:15.599 Now that was entered on December twenty third, two thousand and seven, so 61 00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:18.199 there's not been an update on this for a while. They're still there. 62 00:04:18.879 --> 00:04:21.079 What's that? Is there still a p oh? The Perkins is now the 63 00:04:21.160 --> 00:04:28.560 chan Hassen Brewery Brewing Company. Another one. Chan Hassen a modern suburb with 64 00:04:28.639 --> 00:04:34.319 twice peaceful surrounded, quite peaceful sounding name as compared to savage, Oh and 65 00:04:34.600 --> 00:04:39.920 shock A piece sounds violent as well. Chaska is savage and shocking, not 66 00:04:40.079 --> 00:04:43.800 peaceful. Victoria might be a little bit too peaceful. I mean their houses 67 00:04:43.879 --> 00:04:46.160 are fucking huge, yet their town hall is about as big as our lifetime 68 00:04:46.600 --> 00:04:53.079 fitness parking lot. Eden Prairie definitely not close to a peaceful name. There's 69 00:04:53.120 --> 00:04:57.120 fucking snakes on the apple trees. Okay, here's a conversation. Hey want 70 00:04:57.120 --> 00:04:59.839 to hang out. We can go to chan Hassen, do nothing but walk 71 00:04:59.879 --> 00:05:02.839 in tamelessly in Target, buy some cough serrup a cub and play StarCraft in 72 00:05:02.879 --> 00:05:08.040 the library, or just go clubbing at Maplewood. Okay, done with these 73 00:05:08.120 --> 00:05:13.839 because this is like very amateurish comedy and not particularly funny. So anyway, 74 00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:19.399 thank you Ali all the way from Berkeley, California. We appreciate that this 75 00:05:19.560 --> 00:05:25.600 text from Rachel. She says, I want to say I hope my email 76 00:05:25.759 --> 00:05:29.959 yesterday didn't come off as weirderor pushy. When you didn't read my email, 77 00:05:30.040 --> 00:05:33.000 I was scared i'd overstepped. I'd happily send the notebook I made for Jenny 78 00:05:33.439 --> 00:05:39.600 via mail if dropping it off would be inconvenient. Does this ring a bell 79 00:05:39.639 --> 00:05:42.560 at all? No notebook? Maybe we just missed it. I don't think 80 00:05:42.600 --> 00:05:46.000 we talked about and I don't know. I honestly, if I skip an 81 00:05:46.040 --> 00:05:50.519 email, it's not because it's weird or pushy. I'd have to go back. 82 00:05:50.560 --> 00:05:55.720 It's very possible that I looked at it and thought it was too long 83 00:05:55.839 --> 00:05:57.639 or something like that, or said I'd come back to it. So I 84 00:05:57.680 --> 00:06:00.560 will look back at your email. Rachel, Thank you very much. Next 85 00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:04.800 one, David, Jenny, I would like to get your thoughts on something 86 00:06:04.879 --> 00:06:09.639 Christmas related. Since becoming a mom a few years ago, I've gotten videos 87 00:06:09.639 --> 00:06:13.680 that pop up around the holidays on Facebook or Instagram that talk about how parents 88 00:06:13.720 --> 00:06:18.240 should not have Santa bring their kids big presence because not all parents can afford 89 00:06:18.319 --> 00:06:21.639 to do so. I get that in school, the kids might compare presents, 90 00:06:21.639 --> 00:06:26.920 which might lead to difficult conversations for parents or teachers. But why should 91 00:06:26.959 --> 00:06:30.439 I have to change how I do my kid's Christmas presents just because somebody else 92 00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:32.720 might need to do theirs differently? Am I a horrible person for thinking this 93 00:06:32.759 --> 00:06:39.199 way? I'm not quite sure I understand the question, But okay, So 94 00:06:39.319 --> 00:06:44.439 if I have Let's say Carson is eight years old and he wants an Xbox 95 00:06:44.839 --> 00:06:48.959 and Santa brings him an Xbox. I think what she might be saying is 96 00:06:49.000 --> 00:06:51.720 that, well, then he's going to go to school and tell his friend 97 00:06:51.879 --> 00:06:57.199 Thomas I got an Xbox and Thomas might not have as much money, and 98 00:06:57.279 --> 00:07:00.519 Thomas got, like, I don't know, a football. Yeah, And 99 00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:02.160 then they go, well, why would Santa bring you an Xbox? It 100 00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:05.360 only brings me a football. Do you think that's kind of what she's saying. 101 00:07:05.399 --> 00:07:09.480 I assume unless it has something to do with what the kids bring into 102 00:07:09.519 --> 00:07:13.000 the classroom, if they're bringing in like treats to the classroom and they have 103 00:07:13.079 --> 00:07:15.000 to like be But I don't think that that's what she's talking about, do 104 00:07:15.040 --> 00:07:17.519 you know what I mean? Like, maybe there's something where like there's an 105 00:07:17.600 --> 00:07:20.560 allergy situation, but I think she might be talking about that. But I've 106 00:07:20.600 --> 00:07:24.399 never I don't have kids, so I haven't heard that if it's like you 107 00:07:24.480 --> 00:07:28.759 need to I don't know, lessen the amount you give your kids because other 108 00:07:28.800 --> 00:07:30.759 ones don't get as much. I've never heard that. People do it different 109 00:07:30.759 --> 00:07:33.879 ways. I you know what, Bailey and anybody who's wondering about that, 110 00:07:34.160 --> 00:07:39.480 You do Christmas your way. You create your own memories, you create your 111 00:07:39.560 --> 00:07:43.360 own atmosphere, your own vibe on Christmas Day. And if you want your 112 00:07:43.439 --> 00:07:46.160 kids to get a present from Santa that's an Xbox or a new bicycle or 113 00:07:46.240 --> 00:07:51.240 something expensive, and their friend at school only got a football or you know, 114 00:07:51.600 --> 00:07:57.279 I don't know, a game of Clue or whatever for Santa, that's 115 00:07:57.399 --> 00:08:01.480 not your problem. It's unless you decide that you really want, unless you 116 00:08:01.519 --> 00:08:05.800 want to decide to make it your problem. And being on the side of 117 00:08:05.839 --> 00:08:07.279 the kid who did not get as much as her friends, I mean, 118 00:08:07.360 --> 00:08:09.839 of course, there was like a little bit of jealousy because I would see 119 00:08:09.839 --> 00:08:13.920 my friend Katie Joe get like all like a whole new wardrobe at Christmas and 120 00:08:13.959 --> 00:08:18.160 then she'd show me everything she got, and I got like a couple things, 121 00:08:18.560 --> 00:08:20.240 And yeah, there was like some jealousy, but like there wasn't. 122 00:08:20.439 --> 00:08:24.079 I don't know. I feel like it's just part of growing up. Like 123 00:08:24.360 --> 00:08:26.160 some kids get more, some kids get less, you know how it is, 124 00:08:26.439 --> 00:08:28.279 And you're right, Jenny, it's a part of growing up. Some 125 00:08:28.360 --> 00:08:31.720 kids get more, some kids get less, and it's kind of like an 126 00:08:31.720 --> 00:08:35.360 introduction to life. And that's how it is, because there's always going to 127 00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:37.879 give me somebody who got more than you, and somebody who got less than 128 00:08:37.879 --> 00:08:41.120 you, somebody who got a little bit more looks, or a little bit 129 00:08:41.120 --> 00:08:46.320 more health, or a little bit better parents or living a little bit nicer 130 00:08:46.360 --> 00:08:50.679 home. You know, we can't create a utopia where everybody it's funny because 131 00:08:50.720 --> 00:08:54.080 people still believe in a utopia and that's why we call it utopia and not 132 00:08:54.279 --> 00:09:00.840 reality where everybody has the same thing. It's never happened and it never will. 133 00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:07.039 I guess there is some sensitivity where your kids might learn that if they 134 00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:09.480 go to school and they're showing out their new wardrobe, it might make other 135 00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:13.799 kids feel bad. And maybe that's a good lesson too. Yeah, so 136 00:09:15.279 --> 00:09:18.000 you just said teach your kids want to rub it in other kid's face. 137 00:09:18.200 --> 00:09:20.279 I guess is maybe the lesson here do what you want, but just like, 138 00:09:20.440 --> 00:09:22.720 don't let your kids be brats and be like, well, look at 139 00:09:22.759 --> 00:09:26.240 all these things that I ask, Oh, right, exactly. And I 140 00:09:26.279 --> 00:09:28.000 think that kids will learn that as they get a little bit older, they'll 141 00:09:28.039 --> 00:09:31.399 be like God. I remember I was in third grade and I bragged about 142 00:09:31.399 --> 00:09:33.919 how I got a new bicycle to my best friend Claire, and Claire only 143 00:09:33.919 --> 00:09:37.320 got a new sweater, and Claire felt bad, and then you kind of 144 00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:45.759 learn like, oh, I shouldn't do that. I remember I got enough 145 00:09:45.799 --> 00:09:50.720 for Christmas when I was a kid. I'd get about eight modestly modest expensive 146 00:09:52.039 --> 00:09:54.799 presence. Yeah, I got a sled one year, I got a hot 147 00:09:54.799 --> 00:09:58.600 wheels track one year, and then you know, you get your socks. 148 00:09:58.639 --> 00:10:01.639 My dad would always buy something to like, very practical, like a flashlight 149 00:10:01.759 --> 00:10:05.879 or an alarm clock. I remember one year he got me and Donna and 150 00:10:05.919 --> 00:10:09.039 Carl all alarm clocks, and that was practical. It was very much Dad. 151 00:10:09.039 --> 00:10:11.399 And you know what, I used the fuck out of that alarm clock. 152 00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:16.120 And I didn't appreciate it, but I definitely used it. Dave. 153 00:10:16.399 --> 00:10:18.360 She goes on to say, it's Bailey in East Bethel. Thank you for 154 00:10:18.360 --> 00:10:22.600 the multiple reminders of enjoying every moment with your kids, and that they grow 155 00:10:22.679 --> 00:10:24.600 up so fast. My oldest is only two and a half, but I'm 156 00:10:24.639 --> 00:10:30.159 already constantly saying when did he get so old? Parenthood is crazy in that 157 00:10:30.399 --> 00:10:33.600 in the best way. Wishing you both moments of calm during the craziness of 158 00:10:33.720 --> 00:10:39.480 the holidays, Bailey, Thank you, Bailey. It has been kind of 159 00:10:39.519 --> 00:10:43.639 busy. Carson has been home since Monday, and I've only seen him a 160 00:10:43.639 --> 00:10:46.720 little bit. We saw we went to see a movie the other day, 161 00:10:46.120 --> 00:10:50.639 and we sat on the couch last night and watched jingle Ball, and then 162 00:10:50.679 --> 00:10:54.080 we took out some you know, we got a new big flat screen TV 163 00:10:54.240 --> 00:10:58.519 downstairs, so we cleaned up all the styrofoam of the boxes. We did 164 00:10:58.559 --> 00:11:03.480 that together. And so oh but I've got lunch with a friend today. 165 00:11:03.480 --> 00:11:07.480 Allison's girls are coming to spend the night tonight, so that'll be nice. 166 00:11:07.879 --> 00:11:11.159 Then tomorrow we're probably gonna take them to downtown excels here or to the mall 167 00:11:11.240 --> 00:11:15.000 tonight to get them a t Rex cookie or something. And then tomorrow nothing. 168 00:11:15.159 --> 00:11:18.600 Sunday's the Vikings game. Monday is Christmas. I get a doctor appointment 169 00:11:18.600 --> 00:11:20.799 on Tuesday, so it is kind of crazy. Yeah, we'll get a 170 00:11:20.840 --> 00:11:24.559 couple of moments to call them here and there. Yeah, we we have 171 00:11:24.600 --> 00:11:26.879 a Christmas dinner tonight and then also a fon Do party that we're running off 172 00:11:26.879 --> 00:11:30.919 to right after that. And then tomorrow we're up in the air of if 173 00:11:30.919 --> 00:11:33.600 we're going to head back to Wisconsin like later tomorrow, if we're just gonna 174 00:11:33.639 --> 00:11:37.960 leave early on Christmas Eve, but then we'll spend Christmas even day until the 175 00:11:37.960 --> 00:11:41.639 twenty six in Wisconsin. Then I come back and then I got to go 176 00:11:41.679 --> 00:11:45.240 pick up some dogs that I'm gonna be watching because there's like a couple that 177 00:11:45.360 --> 00:11:48.320 loves me and they're from Germany and they're gone for like three weeks and they 178 00:11:48.360 --> 00:11:50.960 don't watch dogs for three weeks. No, so they asked me to watch 179 00:11:50.960 --> 00:11:52.919 them for a pretty long time. But I was like, well, I'm 180 00:11:52.919 --> 00:11:54.559 going to be in Wisconsin for some of those dates, like I really can, 181 00:11:54.759 --> 00:11:58.200 so someone else is watching them. And then I offered to go pick 182 00:11:58.240 --> 00:12:01.320 them up and take care of them the rest of the time while while they're 183 00:12:01.360 --> 00:12:05.039 in Germany. So then I'll just have dogs then. But you love watching 184 00:12:05.080 --> 00:12:07.279 the dogs? Yeah, that is really cool and it pays a little bit. 185 00:12:07.320 --> 00:12:11.000 In case anybody wants to pick up a little extra income and loves dogs, 186 00:12:11.000 --> 00:12:13.840 what's the app that you used to babysit dogs. You can do WEAG 187 00:12:13.960 --> 00:12:18.080 or Rover, but I would suggest Rover because Wegg takes forty percent of what 188 00:12:18.440 --> 00:12:22.799 you earn and Rover only takes twenty percent. Okay, So I would recommend, 189 00:12:22.840 --> 00:12:26.240 but some people do both. It's easier to kind of start off. 190 00:12:26.559 --> 00:12:31.120 I honestly think it's easier to start off on Rover than Wegg was. But 191 00:12:31.440 --> 00:12:33.000 I don't know if you're trying to do it like full time and you want 192 00:12:33.000 --> 00:12:35.879 to like walk dogs all the time, I would do both apps, but 193 00:12:35.919 --> 00:12:39.279 I would say give our business basically. Yeah, all right. Next one 194 00:12:39.360 --> 00:12:43.639 from Melissa, she says, hey, best friends, you might be done 195 00:12:43.679 --> 00:12:46.240 reading. But I had to laugh when you asked about Jello and the Grand 196 00:12:46.279 --> 00:12:52.399 Canyon. If you missed it really quickly. We had a big honcho from 197 00:12:52.440 --> 00:12:56.960 corporate coming the other day and she said, picture Jello in the Grand Canyon. 198 00:12:56.000 --> 00:13:00.480 What do you picture? And the idea was, when you hear something, 199 00:13:00.679 --> 00:13:03.600 your everybody's mind forms something different. So what do you picture when you 200 00:13:03.639 --> 00:13:07.080 picture Jello and the Grand Canyon. Back in my prime, I had the 201 00:13:07.120 --> 00:13:11.759 opportunity to be in two different pools of jello. All right, let's find 202 00:13:11.759 --> 00:13:15.360 out what this is all about. When I was seven, I was an 203 00:13:15.360 --> 00:13:18.559 event at Boom Island. There was a pool, blue pool of jello. 204 00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:24.799 Me and another person slide down a slide into trying to find a key change 205 00:13:24.840 --> 00:13:28.480 for a special prize. Okay, I did not find the oh key chain, 206 00:13:28.679 --> 00:13:31.759 key chain. I did not find the key chain. But I will 207 00:13:31.799 --> 00:13:37.360 say being in a huge pool of jello is an indescribable experience. It was 208 00:13:37.399 --> 00:13:41.840 a very helpful experience. When I was in college and we did jello wrestling, 209 00:13:41.559 --> 00:13:45.639 less jello, smaller pool, bigger bodies, less clothing, and no 210 00:13:45.960 --> 00:13:50.720 winnable prizes. I cannot decide which experience is more fun. But I saw 211 00:13:50.799 --> 00:13:52.480 both events in the Grand Canyon. When you asked, Not only did I 212 00:13:52.480 --> 00:13:56.320 have a huge smile on my face, I called some old friends to laugh 213 00:13:56.360 --> 00:14:00.519 about our stupid college selves. Also, the jello is red, and both 214 00:14:00.559 --> 00:14:03.080 images have a merry Christmas. Thank you all for being you From Alyssa. 215 00:14:03.200 --> 00:14:07.120 Alyssa, thanks for telling us what you see when you see jello in the 216 00:14:07.159 --> 00:14:09.639 Grand Canyon. That's funny because we also had a party one time where there 217 00:14:09.639 --> 00:14:15.360 was jello wrestling and like kiddie pools and stuff, and I that didn't even 218 00:14:15.440 --> 00:14:18.480 cross my mind when you brought up jello in the Grand Canyon, But I 219 00:14:18.519 --> 00:14:22.159 have been to a party where there's been jello wrestling we did. That is 220 00:14:22.200 --> 00:14:26.159 amazing that you had a jello wrestling. I'm gonna guess it was only girls 221 00:14:26.159 --> 00:14:28.759 in the jello I think it was, well some guys. It would be 222 00:14:28.799 --> 00:14:31.440 guy against guy and girl, Butkun's girl. But yes, it was mostly 223 00:14:31.480 --> 00:14:35.240 girls. But it was like legit wrestling. It wasn't for like sexual purposes. 224 00:14:35.279 --> 00:14:39.440 It was like people actually like taking each other down. Really Okay, 225 00:14:39.120 --> 00:14:43.879 that sounds fun. I didn't think about it either. But back when I 226 00:14:43.960 --> 00:14:50.679 worked in Colorado, we gave away a car and we called it the ninety 227 00:14:50.720 --> 00:14:54.799 six Rock Jello Jump, and we did it at least twice that I remember. 228 00:14:56.320 --> 00:15:00.559 Where you would call in to qualify for a key. There were forty 229 00:15:00.639 --> 00:15:01.879 keys, and if you heard your name on the radio, you would call 230 00:15:01.919 --> 00:15:05.360 in and be like, yeah, this is Sam Johnson. Okay, Sam, 231 00:15:05.399 --> 00:15:09.000 you called in, you got a key. We'll see you with a 232 00:15:09.080 --> 00:15:13.480 jello jump coming up. On June third. So we went to a parking 233 00:15:13.559 --> 00:15:18.720 lot or a park and we had literally a hot tub filled with jello. 234 00:15:20.200 --> 00:15:24.679 And the way we did it is we made jello in big barrels. Okay, 235 00:15:24.799 --> 00:15:28.240 So in other words, we use somebody's walk in free refridge at the 236 00:15:28.279 --> 00:15:31.600 refrigerator at their restaurant. We made jello. We started it up, We 237 00:15:31.639 --> 00:15:35.120 took it in the fridge till it formed into jello. We took forty keys, 238 00:15:35.200 --> 00:15:39.440 threw them in the hot tub and then poured the jello in and then 239 00:15:39.519 --> 00:15:43.600 mixed it all up. And then people had to get in find a key. 240 00:15:45.279 --> 00:15:46.679 This is back when there was no key fobs. It was a literal 241 00:15:46.879 --> 00:15:52.679 key, and then you would have a key, then you would start your 242 00:15:52.720 --> 00:15:56.000 car and if it started the car, you won, and if it didn't, 243 00:15:56.039 --> 00:15:58.159 then you didn't win. So you can't go back and look for a 244 00:15:58.159 --> 00:16:00.679 different key. No, if other people are still searching, you just you're 245 00:16:00.679 --> 00:16:03.440 stuck with the one. You guess you're stuck with one. Everybody goes through 246 00:16:03.480 --> 00:16:07.320 gets a key. When all forty people have a key, then they all 247 00:16:07.399 --> 00:16:10.799 try their car the key out in order got it. The funny thing is 248 00:16:11.799 --> 00:16:12.879 it worked out fine, and it was. I don't remember much about it 249 00:16:12.879 --> 00:16:17.639 besides that, except it worked out fine. Fallon did something similar where you 250 00:16:17.679 --> 00:16:19.840 reach into a big I don't know, a box or whatever and pull out 251 00:16:19.840 --> 00:16:23.799 a key and then so forty or fifty people have a key in Falon's contest 252 00:16:23.840 --> 00:16:30.600 back in Indiana, and they all went through and none of the keys started 253 00:16:30.679 --> 00:16:34.039 the car. Well you can imagine when the last person gets in the car 254 00:16:34.159 --> 00:16:37.480 going, holy shit, this is mine. I got it and it didn't 255 00:16:37.519 --> 00:16:44.279 start the car. How disappointed and frustrated they would have been. Oh, 256 00:16:44.320 --> 00:16:45.799 I don't remember how they resolved that. If you ever run into fall and 257 00:16:45.840 --> 00:16:48.120 ask her how they resolved it, but I think they had to go back 258 00:16:48.120 --> 00:16:53.200 through and try it again. Yeah, I don't know. Oh my gosh. 259 00:16:53.240 --> 00:16:57.120 Anyway, Lissa, thank you very much. Let's try the next one. 260 00:16:57.879 --> 00:17:03.360 This is Neil the no washer. He said, you guys were talking 261 00:17:03.399 --> 00:17:04.960 about the Amazon scam. Tell me about the new Amazon scam that you heard 262 00:17:06.000 --> 00:17:08.440 about. Just people are dressing up as Amazon delivery drivers and going up and 263 00:17:08.440 --> 00:17:11.720 stealing your packages off your porch. So then other people aren't like on the 264 00:17:11.759 --> 00:17:15.000 lookout, you know, it's like, oh, that looks like an Amazon 265 00:17:15.079 --> 00:17:18.200 driver. That makes sense that they're like at your porch and they have packages 266 00:17:18.240 --> 00:17:22.079 and stuff. He goes on to say sometimes he's an Amazon delivery driver, 267 00:17:22.160 --> 00:17:27.079 and he says, we have the opportunity or the choice to do Amazon Flex, 268 00:17:27.200 --> 00:17:32.279 so in other words, we use our own vehicles and deliver packages. 269 00:17:32.400 --> 00:17:37.240 Sometimes that gets confusing when you see somebody pull up with a pickup truck with 270 00:17:37.359 --> 00:17:41.359 ladders on it and you walk up with their package. They're like, oh, 271 00:17:41.440 --> 00:17:45.240 it's a porch pirate. No, they said, the Flex driver, 272 00:17:45.319 --> 00:17:48.319 the Amazon Flex should be turning their hazards on when delivering packages, which is 273 00:17:48.359 --> 00:17:52.759 kind of like bringing attention to them. But it's the same for the drivers 274 00:17:52.759 --> 00:17:56.319 that are hired by Amazon. Granted it's not like the Amazon tracks the vests 275 00:17:56.319 --> 00:18:02.079 and somebody whatever, and so basically that is something he just says, be 276 00:18:02.200 --> 00:18:06.960 careful if you're anticipating in a package showing up, select a different delivery location 277 00:18:07.119 --> 00:18:10.839 so that when it pops up on your ring camera or whatever, it shows 278 00:18:10.880 --> 00:18:14.599 the person is going into your backyard and this or that, and we'll take 279 00:18:14.640 --> 00:18:17.200 away some of the looks of a package being on your front porch. So 280 00:18:17.319 --> 00:18:19.920 anyway, thank you, Neil, I'm going to take a picture of your 281 00:18:19.960 --> 00:18:23.440 address and send you a staff writer sticker. And that is kind of kind 282 00:18:23.440 --> 00:18:27.720 of do it for the Minnesota Goodbye. We'd love to have your emails for 283 00:18:27.759 --> 00:18:30.319 next year, So if you think about it this weekend or next week, 284 00:18:30.559 --> 00:18:33.359 send me an email for the Minnesota Goodbye and we will get you on And 285 00:18:33.400 --> 00:18:37.799 if we read your letter your email, of course I will save your address 286 00:18:37.839 --> 00:18:45.799 and send you a staff writer sticker. Happy holidays from katiewb.
