So a little behind the scenes, we are recording the Minnesota Goodbye, but
we're short on time because Drake was playing a game with us that was a
giant fail and he blesses little p Pick and Heart. He tried for probably
ten minutes to make this game work and so it did not work. So
now what is the circumstance. We're going to read the Minnesota goodbuye emails without
prereading them. So let's see what happens here we go morning. David Jenny
is a P one listener for many years. I have to say that the
BF bit is annoying and love to have it stop. I have to believe
I'm not the only one with this opinion. It makes me think I'm talking
to my young girl cousins who I'm cannot stand to listen to half the time.
What happened that I just get old? Oof dah hah. Please take
this lightly, but also for real, love you all cheers because people write
and say, hey, it's BF Carol, or it's BF Mike or BF
Brianne or whatever, and we that was back when we were trying to kem
up with an name for listeners. Yea, I always like loons but loons.
Nobody ever liked it but me. So BFF or bestie was kind of
what listeners want to call themselves. And we don't actually use that unless someone
writes it in their email themselves or maybe they sign their text message with it,
but we don't use it. We ruled it out. We said,
no, it doesn't work Dart liquors. What about Dart liquors. I like
that. I think it might be a little inappropriate for the younger demographic,
right, Okay, scratch that idea, Yeah, okay, next one.
Oh damn, I'm so frustrated with this cough, but I don't know what's
causing it. So I brought in some cough drops, so I've got that
all right. Here would go Dave and Jenny and Drake if he's not busy
listening to the Oli and Lena jokes, which I agree we're terrible. I
would tell this in the Marine Corps when the others wanted to know about Minnesota.
So I'm gonna read this joke and I have not read it before.
Okay, here we go, audience. Finn were laid off from their jobs
and needed to go to the unemployment office to get their monthly checks. They
both talked to the same agent, we're giving a check and sent on their
way. It's Ole and s Fenn. So in the car, Oli looked
over to see how much money Spen had on his check and noticed it was
much more than his. Well. Oly stormed into the unemployment office and demanded
to talk to the lady who wrote out their checks and why Spenn was so
much more than his She explained that Spenn put down that he is a diesel
fitter, which is highly technical compared to his job of sewing the elastic band
into women's underwear. With this, only looked over at the woman and said,
yeah, I do sow the elastic band into women's underwear. And he
says, yup, diesel fitter, and this is you know what, Jenny.
That's kind of a polite response. It's not funny, but it's also
a perfect Olyan lean A joke because most of the time they're not very funny,
but they're appropriate for all ages. Yeah, thank Jim, we appreciate
that. Thanks for your service back in the Marine Corps. I hope you
got is it in the Marine Corps when they took a bar of soap and
they wrapped that up in their towel. Then they strapped the soldier to the
bunk and they went around. It was in that movie A Few Good Men
Code Red, you got Code read? I hope that when you told that
joke, Jim, that you got the code red with a bar soap and
your towel and got beat in your bunk. I don't know what I'm talking
about. I don't I haven't seen that movie. But are they just whipping
him with the soap and the towel is out? There's a soldier they don't
like. So in the middle of the night, they're in their barracks and
there's a soldier in his bunk. They take his blanket, they stretch it
over him and have people hold it so he can't move, okay, and
then they wrap their heavy bar of soap in their towel and they walk by
and they beat him with it, and they all take turns beating him,
and then he's like crying and screaming, and then I think he ends up
dying. So then Jack Nicholson is on the stand and they're going Tom Cruise
is saying, who ordered that Code red? And it's like, listen to
me, I eat breakfas five hundred yards from people who were train to kill
me. And then Tom Cruise goes, did you order that code read?
And then Jack Nicholson says you can't handle the truth? Does that ring a
bell at all? Okay? I mean that part? Does I want the
truth? You can't handle the truth? Got a good Jack Nicholson impression?
No, I mean thank you. I'm very kind. I think you're being
generous. I'm serious. I knew exactly what you were talking about, is
you were doing that impression? Okay, well, thank you? All Right,
here we go, Hello morning Shoe. I could write a novel about
how much I love you guys, but I skip right to my topic.
I really appreciate that. Thank you. My husband and I recently moved to
Richfield, and although I've always lived in neighboring towns Bloomington, Minneapolis, St.
Paul's, Saint Louis Park, I'm just realizing I never knew much about
rich Field. I've been wondering what the typical rich Field stereotypes are. We
all know the reputations of Dana Coon, Rapids, etc. What are rich
Fieldians perceived as. There's nothing I love more than a good roast, so
make sure to include the good but mostly the bad. And while on the
topic, I would love any recommendations on good restaurants and attractions in rich Field.
I truly have no idea. Rich Field to me is one of those
cities that you drive through to get somewhere else. I don't really right,
I don't really stop in rich Field, but I know I've driven through it
many times. But I don't know what is in rich Field, and I
certainly don't know what the stereotypes are, so we could make some up.
Yeah, I would say if you if your kid goes to school in Richfield,
then they don't smell like cigarette smoke. They send them home, So
I would say there's that. I don't know whether it's a trashy suburb or
a nice suburb, but if it's nice, then it's not as funny as
if they're trashy. Field is the suburb where people got all up in arms
when they started doing roundabouts, and they still haven't quite figured it out.
So when you get to those intersections, it's just a complete traffic jam.
Okay, I don't know, don't know. I like that, so rich
Mold people are kind of stupid. So I would say maybe something old old
fashioned. Yeah, they're pretty excited they get some new technology in Richfield.
The fax machine has just been has just arrived in Richfield. So maybe they're
a little bit behind the times. What else would be a rich fielding?
And I don't know. A good side of things is that you do have
a delightful target, Okay, in your city. It's right off of seventy
seven. I used to go there after I get done working at the Mall
of America, And so you have that going for you. Well, here
here's one that I could make this into a joke. It's like, yeah,
they got a new target in rich Field. It's a beautiful target,
but nobody can get there because they can't figure out how to drive around about.
I mean because there is a roundabout right by that target. Okay,
so I've done my best, Molly. I don't know if somebody else listening
who lives in Richfield might be able to write something or send us an email
about the stereotype rich Field. I don't I've lived here thirty years. I
don't really think about rich Field because I don't think it has something that stands
out like he Dinah is rich coon Rapids is trash. I think Owatana is
meth Woodberry is rich, and McMansions I don't know. Okay, next one,
even though I live out of state, Please don't say my name.
Thanks for putting that up front. I am one year and three months into
a new career, fresh out of law school. Okay, we read this
one the other day. Yeah, we read it the other day, and
then she wrote it again last night. So I will say, go back
and listen to the minute. We did answer it right, I don't see
now. I'm questioning though, because it's on the one where we deleted it.
No, there was one that we got through like ten emails practically,
and I don't know if that was the one. I'm I'm gonna read it
again, so because I think if it won't hurt to read it again.
I'm a year and three months into a new career, fresh out of law
school. My place of employment has its perks and potential to be very lucrative,
but demands are constant, extremely stressful. The job can feel soul sucking
at times. I have been offered a job at a very small company,
less of a commute, same pay way, more work life balance that sounds
like a silly thing to say, but it is very much less fancy schmancy
than my current job. It seems like a no brainer, right, but
I truly just can't pull the trigger. How do I choose? Is it
worth dedicating to my job, my life to a job that is borderline toxic
for the prestige? Or do I just chill the fuck out and live a
slower life? Will I be okay if I slow down. I'm in my
mid thirties, not old, but also not young. Life is confusing.
Help ps. I've listened to Dave Ryan Show since middle school. Has been
a source of comfort and companionship during minute phases of my life, and I
think that's very special. Thank you. I really appreciate that you live out
of state and you still listen to the show. Jenny, what do you
think? Yeah? My answer is that I know she's not very far into
this position with the company she's currently with, but I think that the other
company sounds much better for your mental health and for your work life balance.
And I just think that up until like the last few years, the hustle
culture was such a big part of your career, and it's not as big
of a part of your career anymore, because what we realize was that it
took such a toll on your mental health. So I am more on the
side of go for the other job. Maybe give this one a little bit
more time and see if it's worth it. But would I would jump ship.
I would absolutely jump ship to the other one. I almost agree with
you. I would say stick with this one to see if it gets better.
You're a year and a half out of law school. It's got the
prestige, you got the salary. I'm gonna say that what sucks about life
and work is that to be successful, to get the prestige, you really
have to work harder and give up more of your personal life than you wish
you did. In a perfect world, we would work our eight hours a
day and never have to check email and never get a phone call from the
boss after hours, and never have to go in on a weekend. That
would be a perfect world. But it doesn't really work that way. And
for the more prestigious. Okay, I watched the show's Suits and you're a
lawyer, so maybe you watch this. The main character, or to the
main characters, Harvey is the lead like partner in the law firm, and
Harvey doesn't really have a life. He comes in early and he works late,
and he makes fun of people who leave early, and he makes fun
of people who are like, it's nine o'clock at night. It's like,
oh, you're gonna go home. It's only nine o'clock at night, And
that sucks. And that's the extreme, but it's kind of like, if
you want that's prestige, that's kind of what it has to be like.
So I would stick it out for a while and see whether it gets better.
But it's great that you have this option. Maybe there's a time limit
on the other option. Maybe it's being offered to you when you don't have
a lot of time to figure it out. Yeah, I don't know.
I can't answer that for you, but personally, stay with the one that's
got a little bit more prestige. But that's a total you decision, so
good luck. I gotta talk on this housing market thing. It's a lot
worse than people realize. We were talking about why it's so hard to buy
a house and why somebody will buy a house, not live in it,
but then turn it into an airbnb. So now you've got a millionaire who
owns three or four Airbnbs, and you and I can't afford a house that
we want because they're being snapped up by rich people. I will make this
short, but there's some really shady things going on, and I want to
share the information. The Airbnb crisis is becoming just that a crisis, and
these investors are not just rich people. Banks are now giving out loans to
individuals called debt service coverage ratio. These loans are made generally for large commercial
real estate buildings like hotels and skyscrapers, but they're being given out to regular
people to invest in Airbnb's. Here's where it gets worse. They don't look
at your individual income, only the future the properties expected to make based on
the bank's analysis of probable cash flow. You need at least twenty percent down
in a credit score of six twenty or higher. But such is an unconventional
loan. The interest rates are much higher than conventional loans, and you can't
consistently rent out the property. You have to pay. If you cannot consistently
rent it out, you have to pay out a pocket and as we're seeing
right now, people are having trouble finding renters. So if you get a
five hundred thousand dollars loan and have a forty thousand dollars income. That's a
problem. Sound familiar. Not only that, adjusted rate mortgages become much more
popular last few years, so people can actually afford a home. I'm gonna
be honest. If you got lost during that paragraph, I did too.
But I think what they're saying is, yes, there are causes for the
housing and airbnb crisis. If anybody has not seen it yet, please go
watch The Big Short on Netflix. It doesn't talk about these loans, but
it's unbelievably informative about finances, the OA Ashwall Street and the patterns I've been
seen from then and now. Sorry if this is long, but I really
hope you'll read this as I'm furious these type of loans still exists. Thank
you so much for explaining it. If you're really interested, go back and
listen to it again. It kind of lost me a little bit, but
I know it's because she was trying to be brief and not too long winded
in her explanation. Yeah, I'll be honest, I've never heard of that
kind of a loan, and I feel like I've heard a lot of different
things that I am dating a real estate agent, but I've never heard of
that type. Okay, yeah I haven't either, So very interesting though.
Okay, good morning, Hope everything's been going somewhat smoothly with transitions email and
regarding am I the asshole? And the lady with her dog at the park.
A couple of days ago, a woman wrote in took her kids of
the park. Somebody was there with an off leash dog and the dog was
big, and her kids and her don't like dogs, and the dog was
on the playground equipment. She said, hey, will you please keep your
kid your dog off the playground equipment. The woman got snippy and then left
with her dog and her kids, and she said, am I the asshole?
My backyard is essentially a park, and whenever my son and I go,
we bring the dog. He knows that if there are other kids on
the playground, I'm not going to be able to play with him because I
don't want to go because I won't go on the playground area with my dog,
in which I have always leashed my dog and he is very friendly.
I do not think being out of playground where kids play with the dog is
appropriate. The same thing happened with my son. When we were at the
park. A lady had her dog on the actual equipment and I grabbed my
son and said, we're going to go play over here. I don't want
you around the dog. The lady said, oh, the dog is friendly,
she won't hurt him. What people don't understand is if a kid is
running or falls and trips and scares a dog, you don't know what the
dog's reaction is going to be, and if it's not fair for the kid.
It gets a little bit confusing. But basically they say, just because
your dog is friendly and you like dogs, doesn't mean everybody does. Any
who, I know it's getting long, have a great day, Love you
all. Love hearing more of Drake, especially when Drake uses his squeaky Drake
voice to make fun of him. L O L. I know. For
an example, even friendly dogs can get startled and bite. And I'm gonna
tell you why we had a colleague named It was either Gracie or Rex.
When this happened, Carson was a little kid, probably eight or ten years
old. Carson was sitting on the front sidewalk with a pogo stick and jumping
up and down on the pogo stick. Rex comes by the Collie. It's
scared Rex that Carson was on a pogo stick, so he bit Carson.
Rex was the gentlest, sweetest old man of a dog, but it scared
him with the squeak and the noise and the jumping in the movement. He
didn't know what was going on, so he bit Carson on the leg.
It didn't break the skin, but still that can startle the dog kids running.
Carson used to run, and Gracie used to chase Nip at his heels
because she was a colleague. She was a hurting dog. So you got
a good point. Everybody knows put your dog on a goddamn leash and don't
walk around without your dog on a leash, no matter where you are.
Everybody knows this, but people. I asked people last week. I said,
send me an email and justify why it's okay to not have your dog
on a leash. Nobody has emailed and justified it because nobody can justify it.
Yeah, okay, next one, how are we doing for time?
Jenny? We only have like a less than a minute. Okay, let's
see what we got here? Ay, here we go? Not sure what
the change was. But ads used to play at a normal time on your
podcast, like when the show would go into a song or commercial. Now
the ads are in the middle of someone talking and last thirty seconds to a
minute. It almost scares me because they're always louder than the show audio.
What is this all about, Jenny? This is probably not the podcast here,
but the show podcast. This is the first I've ever heard of that.
We did switch the platforms that we load our podcast through out, but
we still use our old platform to edit it, and we had to put
in these filler spots where the ads were supposed to go. So I don't
know if it's because those filler spots are basically just like zero and length.
It doesn't actually have a length. It all registers once it gets fed through
the iHeart channel, so I'll have to talk to someone. This is the
first I've ever heard of that, though I think I've heard people bring it
up that it looks like in the interrupt in the middle of our talking and
then play a commercial that is definitely not how it's supposed to be. We
gotta wrap up, send your emails, justify your dog being off a leash,
anything else you want to talk about. Send that to Ryan show At
at KWB dot com.
