WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:03.399 I want to mention though, I do have a bunch of Minnesota Goodbye staff 2 00:00:03.399 --> 00:00:06.400 writer stickers that just came in, So if you want one, let me 3 00:00:06.519 --> 00:00:09.160 know. And remember, all you gotta do is have your email read, 4 00:00:09.320 --> 00:00:12.640 and I'm pretty generous. Even if you don't get your email read, I'd 5 00:00:12.679 --> 00:00:15.800 still like to give you a sticker because you know, sometimes there's an email 6 00:00:15.839 --> 00:00:19.160 that we just it doesn't fit with the show, or we've read the same 7 00:00:19.199 --> 00:00:22.839 thing. But send those into Ryan Show at katieweb dot com. Melissa in 8 00:00:23.000 --> 00:00:28.000 Massachusetts gets one, and let me tell you what she wrote about. Melissa 9 00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:31.320 here from Lynn, Massachusetts, found you on iHeart about twelve years ago and 10 00:00:31.320 --> 00:00:35.799 I've been obsessed ever since. Melissa, Please write me back and tell me 11 00:00:36.560 --> 00:00:40.880 what it is that makes us better than your local radio station. Yeah. 12 00:00:41.000 --> 00:00:45.719 I've always found that fascinating. She's probably within the range of Boston and can 13 00:00:45.759 --> 00:00:52.880 hear some great radio shows. I'm so proud that our show is better to 14 00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:58.039 her than a Boston radio showy, or a New York radio show or a 15 00:00:58.119 --> 00:01:03.520 Tamper whatever it is. It's like that that's so fascinating to me. Contributing 16 00:01:03.520 --> 00:01:06.239 with a random topic and hopes to getting a staff rider sticker. I got 17 00:01:06.239 --> 00:01:08.680 pretty awful. OCD not debilitating, but I take a picture on my stove 18 00:01:08.719 --> 00:01:15.159 and my door before I leave for work in the morning. Anyway, I'm 19 00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:18.000 also a crazy cat lady. Okay, so let's go back. She takes 20 00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:21.640 a picture of her stove and door so she can show herself that I turned 21 00:01:21.640 --> 00:01:23.680 it off. Oh yeah, okay, leave. Wolsviick used to iron her 22 00:01:23.719 --> 00:01:29.920 shirt before she came into work, and she would sometimes turn around and go 23 00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:34.920 back home because she wanted to make sure the iron was turned off. And 24 00:01:34.959 --> 00:01:38.040 she used to turn it off and unplug it and yell the word off so 25 00:01:38.120 --> 00:01:42.840 she would remember that she turned it off and if she didn't, she'd go 26 00:01:42.959 --> 00:01:46.480 back home. Yeah, I'm also a crazy cat lady. Recently, I 27 00:01:46.519 --> 00:01:49.200 discovered that when I leave the house, I am calling for my cat to 28 00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:52.680 come out. She does not respond to her name or me saying goodbye, 29 00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:57.560 not even the treat bag opening. Okay, reason discovery. Unfortunately, in 30 00:01:57.599 --> 00:02:00.439 my journey with OCD, I've actually conditioned my cat to know I'm leaving the 31 00:02:00.480 --> 00:02:05.920 house by checking the stove and saying out loud the stove is off, and 32 00:02:05.959 --> 00:02:08.719 then checking every knob, and she comes flying out every time. While I 33 00:02:08.759 --> 00:02:13.360 know I sound absolutely insane, I thought it was funny and it reminded me 34 00:02:13.400 --> 00:02:16.800 of the episode of the Office was the white expecting gum every time he hears 35 00:02:16.879 --> 00:02:21.759 his computer turned on. I don't remember that anyway. Thanks for reading, 36 00:02:21.840 --> 00:02:23.479 Hope, I've earned a sticker, of course, Melissa. Thank you. 37 00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:29.840 Write me back Melissa and let me know why us over your local station. 38 00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:35.439 I'm so curious about that, Tina writes in I'm almost sixty years young, 39 00:02:35.520 --> 00:02:39.240 listening to KATWB since elementary school A long time ago. Oh a long time. 40 00:02:39.759 --> 00:02:44.680 I've never wrote a letter, emailed, called, or texted KATWB to 41 00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:49.039 let KATWB know that someone's a great addition to the show. I'm doing it 42 00:02:49.039 --> 00:02:52.520 today. Vont is a great addition to the show. I think Rich should 43 00:02:52.520 --> 00:02:55.240 offer Vont the job if Vont wants it. Welcome to the Twin Cities, 44 00:02:55.319 --> 00:03:00.719 Vont, have a great day, Tina. I don't. I think that 45 00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:04.199 Vaunt is awesome, and I think that he's always got something to say, 46 00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:07.680 and he's interesting and he doesn't care what you think of his opinion. I 47 00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:12.400 mean we all do to a degree. Yeah, like his girlfriend yesterday when 48 00:03:12.439 --> 00:03:15.800 we said one word to describe him, and she said straightforward. And that's 49 00:03:15.919 --> 00:03:19.560 so true about him. He is pretty straightforward. I really just can't help 50 00:03:19.560 --> 00:03:24.840 it. Okay, hold on, I'm writing this email from Caitlin as I'm 51 00:03:24.879 --> 00:03:30.360 trying to fall asleep and I can't stop thinking about my foot in mouth moment 52 00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:35.360 from earlier. This evening, we attended a celebration of life for my husband's 53 00:03:35.479 --> 00:03:38.919 uncle who recently passed, and as we approach his wife to give our condolences, 54 00:03:38.960 --> 00:03:46.199 I very enthusiastically say to her thanks for coming. What. Oh No, 55 00:03:46.319 --> 00:03:50.360 I had no idea where it came from. Thankfully my husband jumped in 56 00:03:50.439 --> 00:03:54.159 to speak next, and neither my husband nor the wife acknowledged my awkward choice 57 00:03:54.199 --> 00:03:59.719 of words. Yikes. Hopefully someone can get a chuckle out of my brain. 58 00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:03.319 As an additional note, the event took place at the American Legion in 59 00:04:03.400 --> 00:04:08.400 New Hoom with complimentary pictures of Shell's beer. What a kick ass way to 60 00:04:08.439 --> 00:04:12.919 celebrate a life in my opinion, your fellow Viagles kaiserhof lover, Caitlin, 61 00:04:13.360 --> 00:04:15.360 that's the second time Vigles Kaiserps come up on the show. It's for sale. 62 00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:19.399 Apparently, I was at my uncle Keith's funeral in two thousand and six, 63 00:04:20.199 --> 00:04:25.600 and his wife, Shirley was there, and so I walk in. 64 00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:28.639 Shirley was, you know, she's the widow. She's so sad, she's 65 00:04:28.680 --> 00:04:31.759 been married for sixty years or whatever. She's wearing a black dress. I'll 66 00:04:31.759 --> 00:04:38.959 never forget it. And I said, how you doing, which was the 67 00:04:39.040 --> 00:04:42.199 dumbest thing ever, and she said, I mean she handled it gracefully. 68 00:04:42.319 --> 00:04:46.399 She said, I'm okay. So, you know, always hard. So 69 00:04:46.920 --> 00:04:50.360 Andrew and I had a wedding for one of my good college friends and our 70 00:04:50.439 --> 00:04:55.000 other college friend. Her mom had unfortunately just passed away from cancer or like 71 00:04:55.240 --> 00:04:58.120 probably a week prior, but she was still going to be there. But 72 00:04:58.160 --> 00:05:00.639 I gave Andrew the warning ahead of time. I'm like, hey, just 73 00:05:00.680 --> 00:05:03.120 remember so and So's mom just passed away from cancer. Just be careful with 74 00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:05.839 some of your words tonight whatever. And the first thing he says to you 75 00:05:05.920 --> 00:05:12.199 is like, hey, Holly, how's life ben? Oh no, no, 76 00:05:10.600 --> 00:05:15.920 no, man, how you doing. She is the type of person 77 00:05:15.959 --> 00:05:18.560 she's like, well, you know, I mean, like not so great 78 00:05:18.639 --> 00:05:26.000 lately. Yeah, let me immediately try to like backtrack and yeah, we've 79 00:05:26.040 --> 00:05:30.360 all had our foot in the mouth moment. I talked about mine with the 80 00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:32.680 the people from t Rex Cookies, where I met somebody named Ryan and then 81 00:05:32.680 --> 00:05:36.959 immediately discussed how I chose a boring last name for my radio name Ryan, 82 00:05:38.439 --> 00:05:42.120 and I felt so stupid and small and he played it off pretty well, 83 00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:46.319 but it was it was awkward. Hello morning Shoe from Sandy. She is 84 00:05:46.360 --> 00:05:50.480 a continuing staff writer. She's got a sticker already, Dave. My husband 85 00:05:50.519 --> 00:05:54.600 has climbed many fourteen ers and he goes out to Stillwater to hike the steep 86 00:05:54.600 --> 00:05:58.279 stairs and recommends you add this to your training. Tell me where are the 87 00:05:58.279 --> 00:06:00.000 steep stairs and still Water? Are they the ones on the cliff? Yeah, 88 00:06:00.279 --> 00:06:03.439 well it's right off the main street, right when you're coming in sucking 89 00:06:03.480 --> 00:06:06.639 Patriot. Yeah, it's right where you would like park for booty crews. 90 00:06:06.680 --> 00:06:12.360 Pretty much, She says. I tried hiking Quandary Peak with him once and 91 00:06:12.399 --> 00:06:16.519 it was immediately awful. Past the tree line she means timberline, where you're 92 00:06:16.600 --> 00:06:21.839 above the part of the you know, the atmosphere is too thin with oxygen 93 00:06:23.160 --> 00:06:26.279 for life to grow, for trees to grow. For the record, I 94 00:06:26.319 --> 00:06:30.120 did zero training and I have asthma. Couldn't make the last two hundred feet 95 00:06:30.120 --> 00:06:33.680 to the summit. He has a top ten fourteen er list with a couple 96 00:06:33.759 --> 00:06:36.519 left. He has a couple of funny stories about trying to hikeer near. 97 00:06:38.000 --> 00:06:40.920 If you're interested and I'm happy to write back in, please do. It 98 00:06:41.040 --> 00:06:43.560 might not know Yeah, it might make it on the Minnesota goodbyer. It 99 00:06:43.639 --> 00:06:45.800 might not, but if you want to write me about that, please do. 100 00:06:46.519 --> 00:06:51.079 Have a dart licking good day. Right from Sandy, I have a 101 00:06:51.199 --> 00:06:54.839 question because obviously you go to Colorado every once in a while with your house 102 00:06:54.879 --> 00:06:59.319 there, so it's like you probably are a little more acclimated to the oxygen 103 00:06:59.439 --> 00:07:02.360 levels. Yeah, but are you doing anything special to train for pike speak 104 00:07:02.439 --> 00:07:06.360 in terms of like it's higher there in your oxygen it's harder to breathe, 105 00:07:06.560 --> 00:07:11.839 like you could crush doing a normal hike like that in Minnesota, but in 106 00:07:11.879 --> 00:07:15.839 Colorado it's just different. No, honestly, Well that's there's a big answer 107 00:07:15.839 --> 00:07:20.000 in a small answer. No is the small answer, but a bigger answer 108 00:07:20.160 --> 00:07:26.040 is I'm trying to get my vo two max rate up higher, and that 109 00:07:26.160 --> 00:07:30.079 is how much oxygen your blood is able to carry to your body, and 110 00:07:30.120 --> 00:07:32.319 it's been going up. It measures it on my Apple Watch, and it's 111 00:07:32.360 --> 00:07:34.439 been going up. It's like Wow, it used to be at a twenty 112 00:07:34.480 --> 00:07:38.879 seven and now it's like a thirty three. So it's really good. And 113 00:07:38.920 --> 00:07:42.879 I've been running harder, doing more conditioning training, Like last night, I 114 00:07:43.000 --> 00:07:46.680 ran faster than I normally do for three miles on the treadmill to get that 115 00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:51.160 conditioning up. There is a device, and I've heard it's maloney that it 116 00:07:51.319 --> 00:07:55.920 restricts how much air you can suck in, so you're supposed to is like 117 00:07:55.959 --> 00:08:01.519 a mouthpiece and you're supposed to practice breathing with it to get less oxygen. 118 00:08:01.079 --> 00:08:07.800 I've heard experts say it's not an authentic replication of what it's like above altitude 119 00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:13.000 because the oxygen you're bringing in the air you're bringing in has the same amount 120 00:08:13.000 --> 00:08:15.560 of oxygen. You're just not able to pull in as much. So I 121 00:08:15.600 --> 00:08:22.079 haven't tried it. I've heard it's like not an effective representation. But I 122 00:08:22.079 --> 00:08:24.120 am going to try the stairs out of still water. That's a really good 123 00:08:24.160 --> 00:08:30.240 idea. Next one. I'm a little bit behind, says Carissa. Listen 124 00:08:30.240 --> 00:08:33.679 to the podcast from March nineteenth titled Keep Your Cat in Your Yard and it 125 00:08:33.720 --> 00:08:39.159 reminded me of a story a couple of years ago. My cat, at 126 00:08:39.200 --> 00:08:41.960 the time one and a half year old son was in our backyard playing in 127 00:08:43.000 --> 00:08:46.279 the sandbox. Sandbox is glorious for kids. It keeps them busy for at 128 00:08:46.360 --> 00:08:50.799 least ten minutes so I can get some other shit done. As I was 129 00:08:50.799 --> 00:08:52.000 doing some gardening, I checked back to see what he was up to. 130 00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:58.759 I noticed he was chewing on something. I walked over. I said, 131 00:08:58.799 --> 00:09:01.399 what's in your mouth? As he opened his mouth, a piece of cat 132 00:09:01.399 --> 00:09:03.679 shit covered in sand came falling out. At the moment, I shouted, 133 00:09:03.759 --> 00:09:07.120 oh, my god, grows and I took him over to the outside hose 134 00:09:07.159 --> 00:09:11.320 and rinsed out his mouth. It was known I was known to see outdoor 135 00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:13.799 cats roaming on occasion, but I never think one of them would use our 136 00:09:13.879 --> 00:09:18.320 sandbox as their litter box. So my question is are there funny, gross 137 00:09:18.320 --> 00:09:22.000 stories you have about your kids eating something disgusting? I have a daughter and 138 00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:26.159 a son, and let me tell you, boy, sure do some questionable 139 00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:28.600 things. Thanks for the laughs every day from Carissa. When I was a 140 00:09:28.600 --> 00:09:31.000 little boy, I don't remember it, but I used to eat moths, 141 00:09:31.639 --> 00:09:33.720 the moths that are like the size of your thumb, you know what I 142 00:09:33.720 --> 00:09:39.080 mean with the wings and whatever. I used to eat moths and we called 143 00:09:39.120 --> 00:09:41.720 them millers. And I don't know why, but we called the millers. 144 00:09:41.080 --> 00:09:43.440 And my sister Vivian said, yeah, when you were little, used to 145 00:09:43.440 --> 00:09:46.159 eat millers. I'm like I did, and my mom said I did, 146 00:09:46.320 --> 00:09:50.240 So anything from you, I don't. I don't know. I think I 147 00:09:50.440 --> 00:09:54.120 ate dirt and stuff like that as a kid because I played outside all the 148 00:09:54.159 --> 00:09:58.639 time. I never wanted to come inside. But I don't know nothing. 149 00:09:58.799 --> 00:10:01.919 No insects for me, no cat poop in a sandbox for me. Okay, 150 00:10:01.960 --> 00:10:05.639 good, Well, not that you remember, but you know we probably 151 00:10:05.639 --> 00:10:09.320 all did something. Next one. Hello, Dave and Crewe love the show. 152 00:10:09.480 --> 00:10:13.679 I love the longer podcast. David mentioned wanting to get new podcasts. 153 00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:18.120 What about I'm still fun lol, But here are some suggestions. I listen 154 00:10:18.159 --> 00:10:22.559 to a lot of true crime ones. Morbid Crime, Junkie and my favorite 155 00:10:22.600 --> 00:10:26.720 Murder are my favorites. SmartLess is a good comedy one you might like. 156 00:10:26.759 --> 00:10:31.120 I rotate around those four and just a classic like a twenty twenty yr date 157 00:10:31.159 --> 00:10:35.679 line since you know you are old and like and like forty eight hours yes, 158 00:10:35.720 --> 00:10:37.840 I do. Got a question regarding prizes you give away on the radio 159 00:10:37.840 --> 00:10:43.600 station. What if somebody wins one and a relatively better valued one and they 160 00:10:43.639 --> 00:10:45.960 never show up to get it, what do you do with it? I'm 161 00:10:46.000 --> 00:10:48.960 imagining those last minute tickets like Twins open or recently given away, if somebody 162 00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:52.879 wins and then never comes to get it. Some people just try to win 163 00:10:52.879 --> 00:10:56.679 a prize just to win it. You're right, yeah, Jenny, Okay, 164 00:10:56.759 --> 00:10:58.960 let's stop on that one, because then they have a question for you. 165 00:11:00.200 --> 00:11:03.360 It is not often that that happens, but it's happened. We've I 166 00:11:03.360 --> 00:11:07.360 mean, I've worked in radio for forty something years. There's always unclaimed prizes, 167 00:11:07.679 --> 00:11:11.480 whether it was a CD or whether it was a microwave, there's always 168 00:11:11.600 --> 00:11:16.559 unclaimed prizes. I think we just wait a respectable amount of time and then 169 00:11:16.720 --> 00:11:20.240 we give them away again. And for something like the Twins tickets, usually 170 00:11:20.240 --> 00:11:24.360 those are transferred mobilely or through email. Now so a lot of tickets are 171 00:11:24.399 --> 00:11:26.399 transferred through email, so nobody has to come to the radio station to get 172 00:11:26.399 --> 00:11:31.000 them. But like a physical thing like the Taylor Swift albums were given away 173 00:11:31.039 --> 00:11:33.639 with the qualifiers for the Paris trip, those are something that they're going to 174 00:11:33.679 --> 00:11:37.759 have to come to the radio station and pick up. And I think most 175 00:11:37.799 --> 00:11:41.159 people are going to come pick those up because swifties love Oh totally, yeah, 176 00:11:41.200 --> 00:11:43.759 yeah, there have. I mean there's always people just like you said, 177 00:11:43.799 --> 00:11:48.000 who call to win just for the win. And that's why when we 178 00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:52.279 give away something that's a little bit smaller in fan appeal, like tickets to 179 00:11:52.320 --> 00:11:58.759 see Knox in the KDWB Skyroom, there'll be people who will call just to 180 00:11:58.840 --> 00:12:01.960 win because they love to same way some people love to shop. Yep, 181 00:12:01.039 --> 00:12:05.679 they don't really want what they bought, No, they just love to shop. 182 00:12:05.799 --> 00:12:07.720 So we always try to say, hey, we're gonna look for a 183 00:12:07.759 --> 00:12:11.879 fan because we want people to show up. Next one, Jenny, how 184 00:12:11.960 --> 00:12:16.679 is the O KRTAR series going? What is that a Katar? That's the 185 00:12:16.799 --> 00:12:20.519 Court of Thorns and Roses, and that's the fairy porn books I've told you 186 00:12:20.600 --> 00:12:22.639 about. Oh yeah, yeah, So I'm on the third book right now. 187 00:12:22.679 --> 00:12:26.960 I've been a little slow on this one in the last couple of weeks, 188 00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:28.919 but I've been loving them and so I don't know if they're asking if 189 00:12:28.919 --> 00:12:33.120 I want to recommend them, or if they're saying that they love them too, 190 00:12:33.159 --> 00:12:35.600 but I would recommend them if that's what you're asking for. Okay, 191 00:12:35.639 --> 00:12:39.639 good to know, Dave. Jenny vant I received my staff writer sticker in 192 00:12:39.679 --> 00:12:43.240 the mail yesterday, says Alice, and I want to say thank you. 193 00:12:43.320 --> 00:12:46.759 I really like the stamp with a Peanuts character and plan on keeping the envelope 194 00:12:46.759 --> 00:12:48.759 two. I love the sticker and I put it on my cup that I 195 00:12:48.879 --> 00:12:54.679 use every day at work. Here's a topic. How do you feel about 196 00:12:54.720 --> 00:13:00.600 people posting videos of them being laid off. I remember seeing one online where 197 00:13:00.600 --> 00:13:03.519 the guy refused to be laid off and was telling them all the stuff he 198 00:13:03.559 --> 00:13:07.200 has done to make the company better. It was weird. I know when 199 00:13:07.200 --> 00:13:09.080 I was laid off twice, I took it like a champ and moved on. 200 00:13:09.200 --> 00:13:13.759 I didn't think it was worth arguing since I know they'd already made up 201 00:13:13.759 --> 00:13:16.759 their mind anyway. It's kind of like arguing with a judge or a cop. 202 00:13:16.799 --> 00:13:18.799 The cop is never going to say, you know what, you're right, 203 00:13:18.600 --> 00:13:24.559 you should just be let go. Those drugs really aren't yours. So 204 00:13:24.000 --> 00:13:28.120 I think that's the taking the high road. Y'all. Have a good day, 205 00:13:28.120 --> 00:13:30.919 Happy Friday. Eve. Sorry Jenny had to throw that one in. 206 00:13:30.960 --> 00:13:33.600 Thanks for making me laugh. That's from Alice. How do we feel about 207 00:13:33.639 --> 00:13:37.720 people posting? I haven't seen one, have you. I've seen the videos 208 00:13:37.720 --> 00:13:41.240 of people they have a zoom meeting and because they work from home, and 209 00:13:41.279 --> 00:13:45.519 then they set up their camera to just record themselves basically getting let go. 210 00:13:46.039 --> 00:13:48.360 So I've seen a couple of those before, and I saw one that honestly 211 00:13:48.399 --> 00:13:52.159 made me a little bit sad because the girl was like, I've literally done 212 00:13:52.200 --> 00:13:54.519 all of these things, how are you gonna let me go? This is 213 00:13:54.559 --> 00:13:58.519 insane? And so she got upset in it, and that made me sad. 214 00:13:58.559 --> 00:14:01.720 But it is. It's range to me to see some of them, 215 00:14:01.759 --> 00:14:05.960 because I think a lot of people are just doing it because they're so angry, 216 00:14:07.480 --> 00:14:13.120 and I don't think that posting something out of anger emotion is the best 217 00:14:13.320 --> 00:14:18.519 route to go true and I think that emotion right because you're angry, you're 218 00:14:18.679 --> 00:14:22.600 sad, you're hurt, you're shocked, And that's like they say, when 219 00:14:22.600 --> 00:14:26.639 you're angry and sad and hurting shocked, don't write a letter and send it, 220 00:14:26.679 --> 00:14:30.320 don't write an email. You can write it, but then sit back 221 00:14:30.399 --> 00:14:35.200 and wait a while until you hit sin I've been guilty of that, Like 222 00:14:35.279 --> 00:14:37.200 something has really pissed me off here at the radio station, and I'll write 223 00:14:37.200 --> 00:14:41.639 to Rich and I'll be like, this is some bullshit. This should not 224 00:14:41.759 --> 00:14:45.759 be happening. And I've sent it, and then other times I've not sent 225 00:14:45.799 --> 00:14:46.759 it. Then I'll ask Susan, like should I send this? Should be 226 00:14:46.840 --> 00:14:50.600 like no, no it Sometimes it just feels good to do it, write 227 00:14:50.600 --> 00:14:54.559 it out and get it out of your system, but not actually hit send. 228 00:14:54.679 --> 00:14:56.960 Okay. Then a day later you'll be like, you're right, it's 229 00:14:56.960 --> 00:15:01.440 not I'm not that upset anymore. It's very true, Dave. Don't us 230 00:15:01.519 --> 00:15:03.399 leave us hanging. How to the meeting with the Big boss go on Tuesday? 231 00:15:03.399 --> 00:15:05.879 Because I was on the podcast and I said, we got to stop 232 00:15:05.919 --> 00:15:09.720 because I got a meeting with a big boss. Love to hear about the 233 00:15:09.759 --> 00:15:13.320 office t as a staff writer working from home for the Minnesota Goodbye podcast. 234 00:15:13.399 --> 00:15:16.960 Yes, you are a staff writer working from home for the Minnesota Goodbye podcast. 235 00:15:18.120 --> 00:15:22.159 Thank you, Sidney. We appreciate whatever you can share. Cheers. 236 00:15:22.399 --> 00:15:26.720 The big boss guy named Tony flew into town last week or last Tuesday, 237 00:15:28.200 --> 00:15:31.720 and I had a meeting with him at eleven o'clock. I go back to 238 00:15:31.519 --> 00:15:35.440 the meeting room at eleven o'clock. He's not there. His uber was on 239 00:15:35.519 --> 00:15:37.799 its way. He showed up at about eleven fifteen. We go into a 240 00:15:37.799 --> 00:15:43.320 little meeting room and Tony is a very casual conversation, not a formal kind 241 00:15:43.360 --> 00:15:46.480 of thing, almost a meeting where you can almost put your feet on the 242 00:15:46.519 --> 00:15:52.600 table, almost but not quite. But I respect Tony. I think he's 243 00:15:52.639 --> 00:15:56.639 a really good person and he's a good boss. I don't know him that 244 00:15:56.679 --> 00:16:00.399 well, but he's given me some tips. There was nothing. He did 245 00:16:00.480 --> 00:16:07.600 say that we measure a lot of listening by the iHeart radio app. Yes, 246 00:16:07.679 --> 00:16:10.279 so in other words, more and more people are listening on the iHeart 247 00:16:10.320 --> 00:16:12.879 Radio app. But he also says, you got to work on video live 248 00:16:14.000 --> 00:16:18.639 streaming so people can watch you on the webcams. And I'm like, we'll 249 00:16:18.639 --> 00:16:21.639 get Vaunt on that right away. So we got Vaunt on that right away, 250 00:16:21.799 --> 00:16:25.320 and we worked on the video live streaming, and we did live stream 251 00:16:25.360 --> 00:16:27.639 this morning, which is something we really wanted to do. And that's kind 252 00:16:27.639 --> 00:16:30.840 of like the wave of the future with you know, like radio stations, 253 00:16:30.879 --> 00:16:36.960 so so you get to see us all bright eye Bushy tail at seven am 254 00:16:37.000 --> 00:16:41.320 live streaming. Now, you know it's funny because yeah, we you know, 255 00:16:42.279 --> 00:16:45.720 Jenny and I dress up a little bit. I mean it's casual. 256 00:16:45.840 --> 00:16:48.399 Yeah. At the same time, there are radio people who just look like 257 00:16:48.519 --> 00:16:51.000 garbage and they don't care. And it's like, no, you know, 258 00:16:51.200 --> 00:16:53.200 dress up a little bit. I mean, Jenny's wearing a hoodie today. 259 00:16:53.559 --> 00:16:56.639 That's totally fine, but there are jeans and stuff. It's not like I'm 260 00:16:56.639 --> 00:17:00.799 wearing like sweatpants with my hoodie. You know, we have an intern that 261 00:17:00.840 --> 00:17:06.920 came in wearing pajama pants and she was a very interesting person because she was 262 00:17:07.200 --> 00:17:12.000 very hot and she knew it, and I think that gave her a little 263 00:17:12.039 --> 00:17:17.480 extra feeling of privilege, like I can do whatever I want, but because 264 00:17:17.519 --> 00:17:21.680 I'm gorgeous, people will let me get away with it. So ah, 265 00:17:21.799 --> 00:17:25.200 next one, Hello friends, you can say my name. I don't think 266 00:17:25.200 --> 00:17:27.160 we read this one. Just putting in an idea for Sarah who's trying to 267 00:17:27.160 --> 00:17:30.240 come up with her ideas for her husband's birthday. Remember this one. He's 268 00:17:30.279 --> 00:17:33.759 turning, I believe fifty. If he happens to like golf, or even 269 00:17:33.799 --> 00:17:37.880 if he does it. My family just went to top golf in Brooklyn Center 270 00:17:37.200 --> 00:17:40.599 for my dad's birthday about a month ago. We had a great time. 271 00:17:41.039 --> 00:17:44.799 They had great food and great drinks and you don't have to have ever played 272 00:17:44.920 --> 00:17:48.319 golf before to play. That surprises me. It was more fun than I 273 00:17:48.400 --> 00:17:52.880 thought, and I'd never tried golf before in my life. Hope this helps 274 00:17:52.880 --> 00:17:57.240 with an idea. All right, Jenna from Lincoln, Nebraska, thanks for 275 00:17:57.279 --> 00:18:03.480 reading my email earlier this week about my party where nobody showed up. I 276 00:18:03.519 --> 00:18:10.480 appreciate the support. Next one is from Daisy and I love that name. 277 00:18:11.440 --> 00:18:14.599 I was watching Sesame Street with my four year old toddler and there was an 278 00:18:14.640 --> 00:18:18.319 episode about morning routine. There's even a song written about it, and here 279 00:18:18.319 --> 00:18:21.960 it goes, wake up, potty time, eat and brush. I don't 280 00:18:21.960 --> 00:18:25.720 know the melody, but I'm guessing. Here's my question, who the fuck 281 00:18:25.799 --> 00:18:30.359 eats before they brush? Are the monsters in Sesame Street savages? All my 282 00:18:30.440 --> 00:18:34.319 life it's been wake up, potty time, brush, then eat and so 283 00:18:34.440 --> 00:18:38.240 I thought that was the norm. Is it not? This has shook my 284 00:18:38.319 --> 00:18:41.480 world, to be honest. Lol. What about you do you eat before 285 00:18:41.519 --> 00:18:45.599 you brush your teeth in the morning? Thanks for reading my email. Love 286 00:18:45.799 --> 00:18:49.759 listening to you don't forget. A wise man once said, I'm taking your 287 00:18:49.839 --> 00:18:55.480 kids to school, best regards from Daisy. Okay, so the sesame street 288 00:18:55.519 --> 00:19:00.799 says, wake up, potty, eat and brush. I wake up, 289 00:19:02.359 --> 00:19:06.960 potty, brush, and then I don't eat for a few hours. Same. 290 00:19:07.359 --> 00:19:10.519 I'm exactly the same as the Yeah, but what about on the weekend, 291 00:19:11.079 --> 00:19:14.480 because I still brush my teeth? Oh, are you gonna tell me 292 00:19:14.480 --> 00:19:17.079 you don't brush your teeth at like five pm or something? I don't brush 293 00:19:17.079 --> 00:19:18.720 my teeth every weekend. I mean, like I don't like it. Like 294 00:19:18.799 --> 00:19:22.599 on some Saturdays and Sundays I'll brush one of the other. But I don't 295 00:19:22.599 --> 00:19:26.680 always brush my teeth on a Saturday or Sunday. I just don't. I 296 00:19:26.759 --> 00:19:30.680 just don't. Don't you start feeling grossed by that afternoon? I do, 297 00:19:30.680 --> 00:19:33.400 but I don't. When I was at Boy Scout Camp, we were in 298 00:19:33.400 --> 00:19:38.240 the mountains in New Mexico for eleven days hiking, and we took little, 299 00:19:38.319 --> 00:19:42.799 tiny, portable camping toothbrushes. And there's ones you can buy for camping that 300 00:19:42.920 --> 00:19:47.440 have a little dab of toothpaste built in, so you tear open the envelope 301 00:19:47.559 --> 00:19:52.119 and it's got a little dab of toothpaste and you can do your best or 302 00:19:52.200 --> 00:19:55.200 you can do the full on toothbrush whatever. But we tried to limit weight. 303 00:19:55.640 --> 00:19:59.839 And a guy who was a dentist that was in another crew, not 304 00:20:00.079 --> 00:20:02.759 and our crew, he said, look, I'm a dentist. He says, 305 00:20:02.759 --> 00:20:06.319 you can go for about eight or ten days without brushing your teeth and 306 00:20:06.359 --> 00:20:10.160 it's really not going to hurt anything. And I was like, shit, 307 00:20:11.039 --> 00:20:15.680 you're on doctor, so you go weekends without brushing your tea sometime not a 308 00:20:15.680 --> 00:20:21.039 real fact. I learned about day Ryan today out every time. Liz is 309 00:20:21.079 --> 00:20:23.200 a regular writer. She says, morning, Dave, Jenny and whoever else 310 00:20:23.279 --> 00:20:27.039 is joining you. Yeah, the longer podcast thing doesn't work. Yeah, 311 00:20:27.039 --> 00:20:30.759 the perfect link where the ad for Lucky Land Casino cut in mid story and 312 00:20:30.799 --> 00:20:34.599 that was the end of the podcast on today's four to two episode. That 313 00:20:34.759 --> 00:20:37.720 was why you were keeping it under twenty minutes, you guys agreed after the 314 00:20:37.759 --> 00:20:44.039 previous batch of emails last year for the same issue you lucked out on two 315 00:20:44.279 --> 00:20:47.839 that didn't have an ad during the podcast, But please stop making them longer, 316 00:20:48.240 --> 00:20:51.839 or else you need to go really long so we'll have something to listen 317 00:20:51.839 --> 00:20:55.880 to. After the commercial. That's why I advocated for the shorter twenty minute 318 00:20:55.880 --> 00:21:00.640 podcast, but clearly the people with more time on their hands won. Thumbs 319 00:21:00.680 --> 00:21:03.599 down emoji. I appreciate the opinion, Liz. It's a matter of like, 320 00:21:03.680 --> 00:21:07.880 I tried to please everybody, and if you can't, you know, 321 00:21:07.000 --> 00:21:11.680 here's the saying. You can't please everyone, so you got to please yourself. 322 00:21:11.920 --> 00:21:15.200 Yes, And I'm gonna go please myself right now. I'm going to 323 00:21:15.240 --> 00:21:17.480 go in the other room. You go do that. I'm gonna go please 324 00:21:17.559 --> 00:21:21.799 myself, stay here by myself. You go somewhere else, please, Okay, 325 00:21:21.839 --> 00:21:26.960 I will all right. Anyway, I'm one of the many emails letting 326 00:21:26.960 --> 00:21:30.119 you know that we didn't get to the end of the stories today, letting 327 00:21:30.119 --> 00:21:32.960 you know those damn casinos are cutting off the tail again. By the way, 328 00:21:33.400 --> 00:21:36.759 my husband and I are flying down to Dallas for the Cloudy Eclipse. 329 00:21:36.799 --> 00:21:40.480 When is the eclipse? It's like days away now. I's on Monday, 330 00:21:41.319 --> 00:21:42.880 hoping the sky's open up. But we reserved our room long ago, so 331 00:21:42.920 --> 00:21:48.240 we're still going and that's exciting.

Yeah. 333 00:21:52.400 --> 00:21:56.000 Yeah, have you ever been in a full on total eclipse? No? 334 00:21:56.240 --> 00:22:00.079 I haven't. Okay, Jenny's getting antsy, and I you know, 335 00:22:00.119 --> 00:22:02.920 when Jenny gets antsy, it's time to wrap up the podcast because I can't 336 00:22:02.960 --> 00:22:04.920 see the clock from here.
