WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.280 --> 00:00:03.120 You know, we all have a song with our partner. What is you 2 00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:04.919 and Andrew song? You have a song off the top of your head. 3 00:00:04.960 --> 00:00:07.160 Jenny's eyes got real wide, like, fuck, No, I do not 4 00:00:07.280 --> 00:00:10.199 have a song with Andrew. That's okay, hey, Susan and I don't 5 00:00:10.199 --> 00:00:13.160 really have a song either. Yeah, so yeah, no, yeah, 6 00:00:13.240 --> 00:00:16.199 okay. Well is that how we were supposed to start it? No? 7 00:00:16.280 --> 00:00:18.199 I mean it's fine, because I was going to say, some people have 8 00:00:18.199 --> 00:00:21.399 a song with their partner, but I have a song with my daughter Alison. 9 00:00:21.879 --> 00:00:25.039 And Genny knows about this because this morning, when I walked into the 10 00:00:25.039 --> 00:00:29.280 building in the downstairs lobby, it was playing on the overhead speakers, and 11 00:00:29.320 --> 00:00:32.000 so I got my phone out and I recorded it to send it to my 12 00:00:32.079 --> 00:00:36.799 daughter Alison, who's now thirty two, to say, Alison, I heard 13 00:00:36.799 --> 00:00:39.880 this song this morning and thought of you, and it's I love you always 14 00:00:39.920 --> 00:00:44.200 Forever. Nie ran far always together. Because when she was little, that 15 00:00:44.320 --> 00:00:46.679 song used to come on the radio and I'd say, that's our song, 16 00:00:46.719 --> 00:00:49.399 and so she'd hear it. Then she'd go, that's our song, Daddy, 17 00:00:49.920 --> 00:00:52.079 and she would sing it and get the words wrong, and it was 18 00:00:52.119 --> 00:00:56.560 so cute. So sometimes you get a song with your partner, sometimes you 19 00:00:56.600 --> 00:01:03.079 got a song with your kid. I don't think I would say that love 20 00:01:06.159 --> 00:01:12.079 and who's that? Do not? She's a singer God the Lights, she 21 00:01:12.159 --> 00:01:17.599 did Lights Ellie Golden. Yeah, that is. There's a song that reminds 22 00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:19.879 me of Carson. And then of course with Chase, it's Hamster Dance, 23 00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:26.079 dannc danything. Because when he was a little boy, I'd go pick him 24 00:01:26.159 --> 00:01:29.840 up and go see him in Phoenix and in the rental car we would listen 25 00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:32.439 to Radio Disney when he was like five or six or seven years old, 26 00:01:33.079 --> 00:01:36.439 and he loved hamster dance. So whenever I hear hamster dance, which the 27 00:01:36.439 --> 00:01:38.920 only time I hear it is when I purposely play it, it doesn't come 28 00:01:38.959 --> 00:01:42.040 on the radio anymore than I think of Chase. I don't think I have 29 00:01:42.120 --> 00:01:46.599 one with Beth. But anyway, songs with that remind you of your kids. 30 00:01:46.959 --> 00:01:49.760 All right, here we go, really interesting email, Hello, my 31 00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:55.000 favorite radio personalities. I need some advice. Check this out. Fourth of 32 00:01:55.079 --> 00:01:57.159 July. My boyfriend and I ended up spending the night at my parents' house. 33 00:01:57.239 --> 00:02:01.480 The next day. Anyway, she lost ring. It's not an engagement 34 00:02:01.519 --> 00:02:04.719 ring, just a ring I got when I was twelve. I'll be twenty 35 00:02:04.799 --> 00:02:07.439 nine on Saturday. The ring has no monetary value, but a lot of 36 00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:13.360 sentimental value to me. I spent the next week tearing apart my house, 37 00:02:13.560 --> 00:02:16.599 car, workplace, et cetera looking for this ring, with no luck. 38 00:02:17.400 --> 00:02:21.039 Fast forward to the end of July. So a couple of weeks later, 39 00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:23.719 my parents hosted a pool party at their house for the entire extended family. 40 00:02:24.159 --> 00:02:28.360 Chatting with my cousin when her ten year old daughter ran up all excited and 41 00:02:28.400 --> 00:02:30.639 said, look what I found at the bottom of the pool. Yep, 42 00:02:31.360 --> 00:02:36.360 my ring. I blurted out, that's my ring. I've been looking for 43 00:02:36.439 --> 00:02:39.360 it, and her face immediately fell. She looked at my cousin, who 44 00:02:39.360 --> 00:02:43.800 told her to give it back to me. She tearfully handed it over. 45 00:02:43.919 --> 00:02:46.159 Being the bigger person, I said, you can go ahead and keep it 46 00:02:46.479 --> 00:02:52.120 again, it has no monetary value. She was so excited. Well here 47 00:02:52.159 --> 00:02:54.120 we are seven months later, and I have not stopped thinking about that ring 48 00:02:54.159 --> 00:02:59.759 that I've been wearing for sixteen years. My boyfriend says, the ten year 49 00:02:59.759 --> 00:03:02.240 old probably forgotten about it by now. I should reach out to my cousin 50 00:03:02.439 --> 00:03:07.479 her mom and ask for it back. I really do want it back, 51 00:03:07.520 --> 00:03:09.639 but I think it'd be tacky. And it's very likely my cousin doesn't even 52 00:03:09.719 --> 00:03:14.479 know where the ring is and it has to ask her daughter for it, 53 00:03:14.479 --> 00:03:16.400 which would bring it back to relevance and seem cruel for me to take it 54 00:03:16.439 --> 00:03:22.639 away from her. What should I do? Jenny, Sure, ask your 55 00:03:22.639 --> 00:03:25.080 cousin, because regardless of what your relationship is with your cousin, I'm sure 56 00:03:25.080 --> 00:03:29.800 it might be uncomfortable if you're not super close with them. You are still 57 00:03:29.840 --> 00:03:32.280 thinking about it this many months later, and you had it for what sixteen 58 00:03:32.319 --> 00:03:36.400 years? You said, yeah, yeah, you have every right to ask 59 00:03:36.439 --> 00:03:38.240 for that back at this point, that ten year old probably does not care. 60 00:03:38.319 --> 00:03:40.879 I mean unless it happened to be the one thing that the ten year 61 00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:44.800 old clinged on too, because we all had something like when we were at 62 00:03:44.840 --> 00:03:46.680 certain points in our life that we clung onto. But I say, asked 63 00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:52.159 your cousin. I one hundred ten percent. I agree with you, Jenny. 64 00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:55.039 That's your ring and you've been I mean, the the answer is in 65 00:03:55.080 --> 00:04:00.960 the fact that you've been thinking about it for seven months and it doesn't matter 66 00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:03.199 if it has no monetary value. I mean, my mom gave me things. 67 00:04:03.199 --> 00:04:06.840 My dad gave me things that really don't have any monetary vault value, 68 00:04:08.319 --> 00:04:12.759 but they're special because they're for mom and dad. Yep. So yeah, 69 00:04:12.919 --> 00:04:16.600 absolutely ask for it back, as a matter of fact, insist on taking 70 00:04:16.639 --> 00:04:19.920 it back. And it was very nice of you. But I will tell 71 00:04:19.959 --> 00:04:24.160 you that would have been a good opportunity for that little ten year old at 72 00:04:24.160 --> 00:04:28.199 that time to learn that's not yours. You don't get to keep it. 73 00:04:28.199 --> 00:04:30.040 So in other words, when she came up to you with the pool and 74 00:04:30.079 --> 00:04:32.439 she was crying because she didn't want to give it back, that's tough shit. 75 00:04:32.600 --> 00:04:36.079 I mean, I'm sorry she would have instantly forgotten about it and went 76 00:04:36.160 --> 00:04:40.519 and played in the pool and not. So you're a good hearted person, 77 00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:44.199 but you want that ring back, don't ask for it back, insist on 78 00:04:44.240 --> 00:04:46.959 it back. Yeah, so, because you need to tell your cousin it 79 00:04:47.079 --> 00:04:51.439 means the world to me. That ring is so special to me. Doesn't 80 00:04:51.480 --> 00:04:55.120 matter that it's not worth a time. Love you guys. Listen to the 81 00:04:55.120 --> 00:04:59.160 podcast on iHeart every day and catch up on the Minnesota Goodbye every few days. 82 00:04:59.399 --> 00:05:03.160 I like to bay inge. Sincerely, Anti dart Lick, stay away 83 00:05:03.160 --> 00:05:06.680 from my bumhole. So remember, if you don't want to sign your email 84 00:05:06.680 --> 00:05:12.439 with dart Lick, you can sign it with right, which is the carving 85 00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:15.279 guy from old or you just sign your name. I don't care. I'm 86 00:05:15.319 --> 00:05:20.720 just glad that you wrote in. Then we have one from Molly. Molly 87 00:05:20.759 --> 00:05:26.040 says, hello morning show friends. On yesterday's show, you touched on folks 88 00:05:26.040 --> 00:05:28.600 that asked for money on the side of the roads. For me, I 89 00:05:28.639 --> 00:05:30.639 do give because you never know what somebody's story is, and if they're not 90 00:05:30.759 --> 00:05:33.560 in need, then that's for them to live with. But I get to 91 00:05:33.560 --> 00:05:36.720 know I may have helped someone who actually needs it, just my perspective on 92 00:05:36.800 --> 00:05:42.319 it. I also work with long term homeless single adults who are housed through 93 00:05:42.360 --> 00:05:46.600 a government program known as Housing Support. This covers their gate daily living expenses 94 00:05:46.959 --> 00:05:50.319 and leaves them with one hundred and twenty one dollars for the month. This 95 00:05:50.480 --> 00:05:54.800 is for any kind of living expenses that they may have, not including food. 96 00:05:55.120 --> 00:05:58.399 If they do not want to work, they're required to pay in forty 97 00:05:58.600 --> 00:06:01.079 oh if they do want to work, they're required to pay in forty percent 98 00:06:01.120 --> 00:06:03.920 of their income to the program. So in turn, they really can never 99 00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:09.839 get ahead. So most choose not to work and instead stand on the corner 100 00:06:09.879 --> 00:06:13.600 with a sign. I know you might not agree with that with what I 101 00:06:13.639 --> 00:06:16.040 wrote yesterday, however, I just want to say that maybe there are more 102 00:06:16.079 --> 00:06:20.160 ways to look at the station situation than black and white. There maybe are 103 00:06:20.240 --> 00:06:24.920 lots of gray. I love y'all and listen every day and then they write, 104 00:06:26.439 --> 00:06:30.360 right, dartleg love that, so both of Molly, thank you. 105 00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:33.040 And I think that's a great thing about making a decision. Whether you want 106 00:06:33.120 --> 00:06:35.759 to pay somebody, you do what you want to do, and if you 107 00:06:35.759 --> 00:06:41.000 want to pay somebody at the corner, you can do it. I don't 108 00:06:41.040 --> 00:06:45.439 do it because to me, too many of those people are able bodied, 109 00:06:45.480 --> 00:06:48.879 twenty six year old guys who know that they can get tax free on the 110 00:06:48.959 --> 00:06:54.600 side of the road a few hundred dollars a day that they could go out 111 00:06:54.639 --> 00:07:00.000 and work, just like Jenny, Molly, drake me and you all day, 112 00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:04.959 okay, right? And the next one Dave Jenny love you guys. 113 00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:08.240 A couple of topics for the Minnesota Goodbye. If you need them, we 114 00:07:08.360 --> 00:07:13.160 always do. I saw a Facebook post where people were talking about how they 115 00:07:13.199 --> 00:07:16.040 wear a fresh pair of PJS every night to bed. My mind is blown? 116 00:07:16.120 --> 00:07:18.959 Is this a thing? I've always worn the same pair of pjs until 117 00:07:19.000 --> 00:07:23.439 I change my sheets, which is about every two weeks. What about you, 118 00:07:23.480 --> 00:07:26.439 guys? Am I the odd one out here. I don't use pjs. 119 00:07:26.480 --> 00:07:30.879 I don't like the constriction of like the friction against the sheets when I 120 00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:33.680 move. I just wear. Nobody cares what I wear to bed. I 121 00:07:33.680 --> 00:07:35.600 don't wear pjs. Jenny, well, what do you wear? Do you 122 00:07:35.639 --> 00:07:39.759 wear like sports athletic clothes? I just wear like boxers, box reefs. 123 00:07:39.800 --> 00:07:43.879 Yeah. Yeah, I have like pajama bottoms, like pajama shorts I wear 124 00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:46.240 year round, and then I wear like a sports t shirt to bed, 125 00:07:46.279 --> 00:07:50.240 and then in the summer usually like a sports tank top. But I go 126 00:07:50.759 --> 00:07:54.959 about a week until I switch mine out. It depends if I've had like 127 00:07:55.000 --> 00:07:58.000 some nights of like sweating, because every once in a while I'll wake up 128 00:07:58.040 --> 00:08:01.480 profusely sweating and stuff. Then I usually switch it out at that point I 129 00:08:01.560 --> 00:08:05.600 was sweating through my Yeah, But for the most part, I go about 130 00:08:05.600 --> 00:08:07.639 a week wearing mine. That is, I've heard that before too, people 131 00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:11.480 changing their pajamas every night, and I'm like, wait, what, So 132 00:08:11.480 --> 00:08:13.079 how long do you wear your clothes for well, I guess if you're wearing 133 00:08:13.319 --> 00:08:16.120 box or briefs, might the same ones every I mean different, different every 134 00:08:16.160 --> 00:08:20.199 day. But I haven't changed my sheets in a couple of weeks. I've 135 00:08:20.199 --> 00:08:24.399 told Jenny and you the story before about when I was when I when I 136 00:08:24.399 --> 00:08:28.360 lived at home, my mom washed my sheets, she just did. And 137 00:08:28.639 --> 00:08:31.560 when I moved in my own apartment, I didn't wash my sheets until I 138 00:08:31.600 --> 00:08:35.799 noticed a smell of velveta cheese in the bedrooms and I'm like, why does 139 00:08:35.840 --> 00:08:37.480 it smell like velveta? Oh? Well, And then a couple of days 140 00:08:37.519 --> 00:08:41.000 later, or a week later or whatever, I realized it's the sheets. 141 00:08:41.480 --> 00:08:45.759 Yeah, it's stark. Were the ladies feeling about that or did anyone bring 142 00:08:45.799 --> 00:08:48.960 it up in those moments? You No, I did have the ladies come 143 00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:52.399 over to the apartment, but I don't know they either didn't bring it up, 144 00:08:52.480 --> 00:08:56.879 or the timing was different or whatever. Care my towels When when I 145 00:08:58.000 --> 00:09:01.399 was a kid, I used a different towel every time I took a bathroom 146 00:09:01.480 --> 00:09:05.120 shower, and then I throw it in the laundry. And now I use 147 00:09:05.159 --> 00:09:09.360 the same towel every day for a week until it's laundry day. What about 148 00:09:09.399 --> 00:09:11.080 you. Oh, I'm pretty bad at changing my towels on. I probably 149 00:09:11.080 --> 00:09:13.679 go like two to three weeks. I'm not gonna lie, Okay, Yeah, 150 00:09:13.759 --> 00:09:18.559 Andrew's much better at that. He changes his towel every like five days, 151 00:09:18.600 --> 00:09:22.320 maybe a week. But I am not as good at that. I 152 00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:26.559 you know, you think about what you're wiping off with your wet skin. 153 00:09:26.600 --> 00:09:31.039 You're wiping off little skin particles and little I don't know. Yeah, it's 154 00:09:31.159 --> 00:09:37.080 just I don't know so, but it's my skin particles and my hair whatever. 155 00:09:37.120 --> 00:09:39.120 So it doesn't bother me. So yeah, once a week or so, 156 00:09:39.879 --> 00:09:43.080 I'm gonna give you a little a little tip here. Towel warmers are 157 00:09:43.200 --> 00:09:48.559 glorious. I know that nobody wants to buy a towel warmer. We've had 158 00:09:48.559 --> 00:09:50.919 a towel warmer for probably five years. It looks like a trash can with 159 00:09:50.960 --> 00:09:54.120 a lid on it. You turn it on, put your towel in there 160 00:09:54.120 --> 00:09:56.960 when you get in the shower. When you get out, you got a 161 00:09:56.000 --> 00:10:03.519 warm, amazing feeling towel rather and a room temperature towel. And I asked 162 00:10:03.559 --> 00:10:05.759 on the air a couple or on Facebook, a couple of weeks ago, 163 00:10:05.799 --> 00:10:07.320 I said, what have you heard on our show that made you want to 164 00:10:07.399 --> 00:10:11.440 buy? Do see or try something you've heard on our show? And somebody 165 00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:13.720 wrote in and said, a few years ago, Dave, you talked about 166 00:10:13.720 --> 00:10:18.480 a towel warmer. I love my towel warmer. Thanks for influencing me. 167 00:10:18.919 --> 00:10:22.639 And I get one for bridal showers and baby get with not baby gifts of 168 00:10:22.679 --> 00:10:26.919 whatever. And people always go a towel warmer and I say, try it 169 00:10:26.960 --> 00:10:31.799 and people love it, so highly recommend a towel warmer. Nice next one, 170 00:10:31.120 --> 00:10:33.720 mainly for Dave. Any advice for me to pass along to my four 171 00:10:33.759 --> 00:10:39.320 year old fourteen year old son who will be hiking in Filmont for twelve days 172 00:10:39.320 --> 00:10:43.480 in June with the Scouts. I would say the main thing is Jenny is 173 00:10:45.000 --> 00:10:48.120 make sure they're trained. Make sure that they are trained, trained, trained, 174 00:10:50.120 --> 00:10:54.840 and ready to go. We were overtrained for Filmont and it was easy 175 00:10:54.879 --> 00:10:56.960 for us. There is a place in New Mexico. Yeah, that's the 176 00:10:56.039 --> 00:11:00.840 Boy Scout Camp camp. Yeah, and it's vast. It's probably the size 177 00:11:00.879 --> 00:11:05.039 of Rhode Island. I mean it's wow. Okay, it's vast, and 178 00:11:05.240 --> 00:11:09.039 it's called Filmont because it was owned by phil Lips Petroleum, the owner of 179 00:11:09.039 --> 00:11:13.879 Phillips Petroleum one hundred years ago, and he donated it to the Boy Scouts 180 00:11:13.879 --> 00:11:18.440 and it's a vast stretch of huge wilderness and it's amazing. And make sure 181 00:11:18.480 --> 00:11:20.919 that his troop is trained and goes on lots of training, kind of training 182 00:11:20.919 --> 00:11:26.120 and we're talking about like how to eat in okay and hiking okay, yeah, 183 00:11:26.200 --> 00:11:30.240 hiking for sure. Also make sure that they stick to the dish washing 184 00:11:30.320 --> 00:11:35.039 routine because they give you a specific way to wash the dishes so you won't 185 00:11:35.039 --> 00:11:39.600 get diarrhea or cholera or whatever the hell you would get because boys are disgusting 186 00:11:39.840 --> 00:11:43.279 and girls go there too, and I'm going to guess fourteen year old girls 187 00:11:43.360 --> 00:11:48.440 were disgusting too. And they'll take their dirty plate and they'll wipe it off 188 00:11:48.440 --> 00:11:52.080 and they'll dip it in the boiling water with all kinds of crap food floating 189 00:11:52.120 --> 00:11:56.120 on top of the boiling water. And nobody got sick in our troop. 190 00:11:56.480 --> 00:12:01.480 Knock on wood, fortunately. But make sure they do practice dishwashing thing before 191 00:12:01.519 --> 00:12:05.039 they get there, so they've got it down. And he's doing twelve days, 192 00:12:05.039 --> 00:12:11.200 which is a long one. Other than that, I did that. 193 00:12:11.240 --> 00:12:16.120 I did a twelve day hike. Two. I would say this, we 194 00:12:16.159 --> 00:12:20.000 did a very difficult trek. In other words, there are thirty five tracks. 195 00:12:20.080 --> 00:12:24.919 Number one is the easiest, number thirty five is the most difficult. 196 00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:28.799 We did number thirty one or thirty two, and I was like, what 197 00:12:28.840 --> 00:12:31.440 the fuck, boy, you want to do this one? This difficult? 198 00:12:31.519 --> 00:12:35.399 But like I said, we trained and trained and it was not a problem. 199 00:12:35.440 --> 00:12:39.360 The only thing we had problems with was blisters on our feet. But 200 00:12:39.399 --> 00:12:43.480 if you've got the blister mole skin, you got the blister pads, you're 201 00:12:43.480 --> 00:12:48.960 in good shape. You should be fine. Other than that, I would 202 00:12:48.039 --> 00:12:56.559 say, learn the domino hiking climbing a hill thing, because I'm not going 203 00:12:56.639 --> 00:12:58.080 to try to explain it now, but it's a way to hike up a 204 00:12:58.159 --> 00:13:03.879 hill, keep moving without resting, but everybody gets her rest a short rest. 205 00:13:03.919 --> 00:13:09.480 So look up the domino hiking effect or domino procedure and have your troop 206 00:13:09.600 --> 00:13:16.120 learn that, because it is a really important thing to learn when you're hiking. 207 00:13:16.519 --> 00:13:18.679 Jenny, I got your number or I got your email for your sticker, 208 00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:24.519 so I will get that to you. Mike says, he got his 209 00:13:24.559 --> 00:13:31.440 sticker, and so thank you your question from Mike. When your partner's away, 210 00:13:31.519 --> 00:13:33.080 what do you do during that time? For me, I may take 211 00:13:33.120 --> 00:13:37.039 on a project that I can finish before they come back. Or I just 212 00:13:37.080 --> 00:13:39.879 do whatever I want around the house and not have to deal with the evil 213 00:13:41.039 --> 00:13:43.519 eye, the look that says, instead of just sitting around here, you 214 00:13:43.559 --> 00:13:46.399 could be doing X, Y Z. So when your partner's away, what 215 00:13:46.440 --> 00:13:48.440 do you do during that time? It depends. Because Susan is away so 216 00:13:48.519 --> 00:13:52.519 much of the time with her work, it depends. I mean, if 217 00:13:52.519 --> 00:13:56.519 she's just away for the night, I don't do anything different. I watch 218 00:13:56.600 --> 00:14:01.159 TV, I'll play my ukulele, I'll work on a magic tricker read. 219 00:14:01.240 --> 00:14:05.360 If she's away for a long time, then I'll make plans to go play 220 00:14:05.399 --> 00:14:09.799 cribbage or whatever with a friend so I'm not stuck in the house. What 221 00:14:09.919 --> 00:14:15.639 about you, I just become a very productive human. Andrew and I have 222 00:14:15.679 --> 00:14:20.200 had this conversation since moving in together. We if we see each other like 223 00:14:20.240 --> 00:14:22.120 hanging out around the house, we aren't as productive. I feel like, 224 00:14:22.440 --> 00:14:26.200 well, he says he'll he would play more video games if I wasn't home, 225 00:14:26.240 --> 00:14:28.519 But if he's not home, I just like don't feel the need to 226 00:14:28.559 --> 00:14:31.120 go sit next to him in the sun room and just chill, like I 227 00:14:31.200 --> 00:14:35.639 actually do something on my to do list because there's no one around to hang 228 00:14:35.679 --> 00:14:39.039 out with. So that's me. I have painted a living room once when 229 00:14:39.039 --> 00:14:43.919 he was on vacation on like a ski trip, and then I don't know, 230 00:14:43.000 --> 00:14:46.000 I think, I just the house is spotless when he's gone. And 231 00:14:46.039 --> 00:14:50.519 it's not that Andrew's not clean, it's just I'm very, very clean, 232 00:14:50.799 --> 00:14:56.639 so it's like completely spotless when he's not around. That is funny because Susan 233 00:14:56.639 --> 00:15:01.320 and I, honestly we are not the best cleaners. Yeah in the world. 234 00:15:03.279 --> 00:15:07.399 We we're not. I'll find like stuff on the floor, like she'll 235 00:15:07.399 --> 00:15:13.879 make something and drop onion skins on the floor, not giant ones that are 236 00:15:13.919 --> 00:15:16.240 like the size of the palm of your hand, but like at the size 237 00:15:16.279 --> 00:15:18.840 of your thumbnail. I get what you mean. And she'll drop it on 238 00:15:18.879 --> 00:15:22.960 the floor and she won't pick it up, and then I'll walk by it 239 00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:26.480 several times and then I'll finally pick it up and let there's like, you 240 00:15:26.519 --> 00:15:30.240 know, stuff on the countertop where she kind of half ass washes the countertop 241 00:15:30.440 --> 00:15:33.679 and it's not gross. You would not walk into the house and go gross 242 00:15:33.720 --> 00:15:37.039 and the sink's not full of dirty dishes. But we're just not the best 243 00:15:37.080 --> 00:15:39.840 spotless cleaners like that. Yeah, that's like one of the things that's almost 244 00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:45.039 never clean Ifranches around is our countertops. I try to clean them, but 245 00:15:45.559 --> 00:15:48.600 I am guilty of being less of a clean person when he's around, because, 246 00:15:48.720 --> 00:15:54.200 like I guess I probably take on his qualities then, but I hate 247 00:15:54.240 --> 00:15:56.720 when the countertops are dirty, so I'm always like wiping the countertops down. 248 00:15:56.799 --> 00:16:00.639 He is constantly cooking different meal and stuff, where is like I usually meal 249 00:16:00.679 --> 00:16:04.240 prep and do a lot at once, so I'm not constantly cooking, So 250 00:16:04.279 --> 00:16:07.759 then I clean up after myself where it's every meal he's making a new, 251 00:16:08.399 --> 00:16:12.919 something new, and then the counters get dirty. What about you? Are 252 00:16:14.000 --> 00:16:18.960 you more like me or you more like Jenny? Because you know, I 253 00:16:18.960 --> 00:16:22.320 mean, we're not sloppy and gross. But I will say this, when 254 00:16:22.360 --> 00:16:26.399 when I first met Susan, I went to her apartment and she had an 255 00:16:26.519 --> 00:16:30.840 old glass of milk on her nightstand that had kind of dried up and like 256 00:16:30.919 --> 00:16:34.039 it was kind of curdled and yellow and the glass had like you know what, 257 00:16:34.080 --> 00:16:37.159 it was gross, And I thought this is not a good first impression 258 00:16:37.159 --> 00:16:41.600 of this woman, because Susan is like very great with her appearance, and 259 00:16:41.639 --> 00:16:47.200 she is great in every other well almost every other way. But I was 260 00:16:47.600 --> 00:16:51.000 definitely got a yick impression, but the worst yick impression I ever got. 261 00:16:51.080 --> 00:16:53.559 I've told the story before. I was dating a girl back when I was 262 00:16:53.840 --> 00:16:57.600 twenty, went to her house. Her entire she lived in the basement. 263 00:16:59.399 --> 00:17:03.759 Her entire basement was covered with cat shit and it stunk, and I was 264 00:17:03.880 --> 00:17:07.000 like, no litterbox or the cat just wasn't trained. If there was, 265 00:17:07.119 --> 00:17:11.039 it was full and the cat wouldn't use it. And I will tell you, 266 00:17:11.160 --> 00:17:17.680 Jenny, she was a normal looking, normal acting woman. But I 267 00:17:17.759 --> 00:17:22.720 remember I don't remember much about her at all except going down in the basement 268 00:17:22.880 --> 00:17:26.519 rounding the corner and there were piles of cat shit and a smell that could 269 00:17:26.559 --> 00:17:33.079 knock you over. And I remember thinking, wow, gross number one, 270 00:17:33.160 --> 00:17:37.200 but number two that she didn't even consider I should not have a guy or 271 00:17:37.279 --> 00:17:41.839 anybody come to my house. That's full of cat shit. God, I 272 00:17:41.920 --> 00:17:45.960 was gonna say, but if she grew up with that, that must have 273 00:17:45.039 --> 00:17:48.279 been normal to her, I guess, But I mean, I think I 274 00:17:48.319 --> 00:17:52.039 grew up in a decently clean house, and I remember like if I was 275 00:17:52.039 --> 00:17:56.920 ever dating people, I always made sure the house, specifically the toilet was 276 00:17:56.960 --> 00:18:00.680 cleaned, Like I never wanted a guy to come over and see, like, 277 00:18:02.400 --> 00:18:04.680 you know, the toilet bowl not as clean as it should be. 278 00:18:04.720 --> 00:18:07.319 You know what I'm trying to not give details. Yeah, but we all 279 00:18:07.319 --> 00:18:11.640 know exactly what you're talk't. But as a female, you don't lift the 280 00:18:11.680 --> 00:18:15.359 toilet set up so like the toilet bowl could look clean, and then underneath 281 00:18:15.359 --> 00:18:18.079 the toilet seat you don't know what it looks like as a female. So 282 00:18:18.160 --> 00:18:21.039 I always made sure I was looking underneath the toilet seat if I knew a 283 00:18:21.039 --> 00:18:22.720 guy was coming over, because I was like, I don't know what's on 284 00:18:22.720 --> 00:18:25.119 a good point. Yes, I get it, it's a very good point, 285 00:18:25.200 --> 00:18:27.279 and people forget that. Yeah, and sometimes you lift up that toilet 286 00:18:27.319 --> 00:18:33.640 seat and it's like, oh boy, all right. One last email from 287 00:18:33.720 --> 00:18:36.880 Kevin. This is interesting. We were talking the other day about getting seasick 288 00:18:36.920 --> 00:18:40.440 on cruise ships, so we'll spend a minute on this one. Want to 289 00:18:40.440 --> 00:18:44.559 touch base on your discussion about motion sickness on how cruise ships fare in rough 290 00:18:44.599 --> 00:18:48.960 seas, because we were talking about doing the Drake Passage and Drake Passage around 291 00:18:48.119 --> 00:18:52.279 is around the tip of South America, some of the roughest seas in the 292 00:18:52.319 --> 00:18:56.359 world. And I read a book Kevin you might really enjoy. It's called 293 00:18:56.799 --> 00:19:02.319 The Wager, and it's about a British from one hundred to zero three hundred 294 00:19:02.400 --> 00:19:06.599 years ago, two hundred and fifty years ago that was on its way to 295 00:19:06.680 --> 00:19:11.119 overtake a Spanish ship and get their treasure and blah blah blah, and they 296 00:19:11.240 --> 00:19:17.359 rounded the end of South America and that's when they shipwrecked. And it's a 297 00:19:17.640 --> 00:19:21.279 fascinating story about being shipwrecked and how they got off the island, and it's 298 00:19:21.359 --> 00:19:25.759 just so interesting. It's called The Wager. And so they went around Drake 299 00:19:25.799 --> 00:19:27.799 Passage, which again is one of the roughest areas in the world. As 300 00:19:27.839 --> 00:19:32.240 a frequent cruiser, I have a lot of experience on ships and some rough 301 00:19:32.279 --> 00:19:34.680 seas. However, usually the bigger the ship, the less you feel it. 302 00:19:34.720 --> 00:19:38.599 I cruised with Royal Caribbean, which is known for building big ships. 303 00:19:40.240 --> 00:19:42.640 For example, the ship I'm boarding next weekend, the Wonder of the Seas, 304 00:19:42.759 --> 00:19:48.119 is currently the second biggest in the world, topped only by their brand 305 00:19:48.119 --> 00:19:49.880 new ship by a mere ten feet. My last ship, the Harmony, 306 00:19:51.240 --> 00:19:55.039 is the fourth biggest by a matter of inches. I have friends and family 307 00:19:55.039 --> 00:19:56.759 who said they were scared because of getting seasick, and I can tell you 308 00:19:56.799 --> 00:20:02.759 on these ships you hardly feel it. Thinks to stabilization fins that push out 309 00:20:02.839 --> 00:20:06.960 under the waterline like airplane wings to keep the ship upright, which I find 310 00:20:07.000 --> 00:20:11.920 interesting. We still pack the dramamine and the Pacific Ostin stretch from Seattle sailing 311 00:20:11.920 --> 00:20:15.920 north toward Alaska is very rough, but the Caribbean is gentle, as was 312 00:20:15.960 --> 00:20:18.319 the remainder of that Alaska trip two summers ago. Granted, a ship is 313 00:20:18.359 --> 00:20:22.640 still tiny compared to the vast ocean, so it's not to say you won't 314 00:20:22.680 --> 00:20:26.039 feel some rocking and storms, but it's manageable. That said, you won't 315 00:20:26.079 --> 00:20:29.920 ever catch me in the drake passage, as I know I get sick. 316 00:20:30.680 --> 00:20:33.240 But to each their own. Just want to share this tidbit of knowledge. 317 00:20:33.400 --> 00:20:36.519 No need to send a sticker, as I already have one. Thanks for 318 00:20:36.599 --> 00:20:40.079 keeping me entertained, and I will do my best to keep on the podcast 319 00:20:40.119 --> 00:20:45.279 while I'm at sea for two weeks. Dart Lick from Kevin There was something 320 00:20:45.319 --> 00:20:49.839 he said that I was going to comment on the stabilization. Oh, I 321 00:20:49.880 --> 00:20:55.519 know what it was. Yeah, that's super cool that they can do that. 322 00:20:56.240 --> 00:20:59.920 I also went from Seattle up to Alaska one time twenty five years ago, 323 00:21:00.599 --> 00:21:06.319 and I woke up the first morning and the ship's bow would raise and 324 00:21:06.359 --> 00:21:10.839 it would slap back down, and the ship's bow would raise and slap back 325 00:21:10.839 --> 00:21:15.880 down, and I got sicker than a dog. It was misorable. And 326 00:21:15.039 --> 00:21:19.359 after a while I got better and I was fine, but I definitely remember 327 00:21:19.359 --> 00:21:22.319 getting seasick then. But I think it'd be really cool. And I've been 328 00:21:22.359 --> 00:21:26.279 on some stormy seas a little bit, and I'm the kind of guy who 329 00:21:26.319 --> 00:21:29.880 goes outside on the deck and watches the big waves, I mean, not 330 00:21:30.119 --> 00:21:33.079 monster waves, like you know whatever. But I kind of like that as 331 00:21:33.119 --> 00:21:36.680 long as I'm not getting sick. I think that's kind of adventuresome. Yeah, 332 00:21:36.960 --> 00:21:37.880 I kind of feel the same way. But at the same time, 333 00:21:37.920 --> 00:21:41.240 I have no desire to be on a cruise ship. It doesn't sound my 334 00:21:41.480 --> 00:21:44.519 like you know what you want. This is I admire that about you, 335 00:21:44.599 --> 00:21:45.720 Jenny. You know what you want and you don't want to go on a 336 00:21:45.720 --> 00:21:48.799 cruise ship. So I think that's admirable that you don't want to go and 337 00:21:48.839 --> 00:21:52.079 you're not going to go. That is it. I would love to hear 338 00:21:52.079 --> 00:21:56.039 your emails, whether it's about towels, bed sheets, pajamas, cruise ships, 339 00:21:56.960 --> 00:22:02.119 rings at the bottom of pools, or anything else you want to bring 340 00:22:02.240 --> 00:22:06.839 up. This show is all about your content, your ideas. That's why 341 00:22:06.839 --> 00:22:10.839 we send you a staff writer sticker when we use your email. Thank you 342 00:22:10.960 --> 00:22:12.559 very much for that one. I'm gone all next week, so it'll be 343 00:22:12.599 --> 00:22:17.119 you and Drake doing the Minnesota goodbye. Yeah, so we'll hold off if 344 00:22:17.160 --> 00:22:19.160 you have specific ones for Dave and we'll probably just say those for one Dave's 345 00:22:19.160 --> 00:22:22.319 here. But if you have anyone that you want to send to just Drake 346 00:22:22.359 --> 00:22:23.839 and I, you're more than welcome to do that. Okay, It's Ryan 347 00:22:23.920 --> 00:22:26.680 Show at KDWB dot com. Thanks for listening.
