WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.440 --> 00:00:09.240
All, all right, here we
go with the Minnesota exact. Hey,

2
00:00:09.279 --> 00:00:12.080
guys, Dave, I heard you
talking about the safe choice. It totally

3
00:00:12.119 --> 00:00:16.839
hit home for me. Well,
let's talk about what we brought up.

4
00:00:16.879 --> 00:00:20.839
I think yesterday that we gravitate toward
the safe choice in life. We'll date

5
00:00:20.879 --> 00:00:23.359
somebody who's a lot of fun,
but they might have a little bit of

6
00:00:23.399 --> 00:00:25.760
a baggage thing, or they might
have a I don't know, maybe they're

7
00:00:25.760 --> 00:00:29.239
not good with money, or maybe
there I don't know, whatever it is.

8
00:00:29.280 --> 00:00:32.679
So we gravitate toward the safe choice. Then a lot of the time

9
00:00:32.719 --> 00:00:37.240
we get bored with that safe choice
and we go, wow, I wish

10
00:00:37.320 --> 00:00:41.679
that I'd chosen somebody. They say, choose the one that you don't choose

11
00:00:41.679 --> 00:00:45.320
the one you can live with,
Choose the one you can't live without.

12
00:00:45.320 --> 00:00:48.399
Have you heard that before? Yeah, I think you've said it. Yeah,

13
00:00:48.520 --> 00:00:51.359
I really like that. Don't choose
the one that I can live with

14
00:00:51.439 --> 00:00:55.520
them, choose the one that you
can't live without. Very wise, but

15
00:00:55.600 --> 00:00:58.679
I said that we gravitate toward the
safe choice, and a lot of the

16
00:00:58.679 --> 00:01:04.400
time we spend the the rest of
our life kind of ruminating about God,

17
00:01:04.480 --> 00:01:11.959
I should have been with Brad or
Marlee or who Marlee? Where the fuck

18
00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:15.680
did I get that as a dog
because I'm bored with the person that I'm

19
00:01:15.719 --> 00:01:19.760
with, and I think that we
find so anyway, She says. In

20
00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:23.280
my very early twenties, I met
a guy. We were never officially together,

21
00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:25.439
but we were together all the time, if that makes sense, And

22
00:01:25.480 --> 00:01:29.359
oh my gosh, the passion and
the sex was so good. It wasn't

23
00:01:29.359 --> 00:01:33.239
the healthiest relationship, but I can
say we both loved each other. I

24
00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:36.239
ended up getting pregnant and chose to
have an abortion. After that, we

25
00:01:36.280 --> 00:01:40.239
definitely fell apart. After we ended
things, I met another guy. We

26
00:01:40.280 --> 00:01:44.400
will call him a safe choice come
polete opposite a guy number one. About

27
00:01:44.400 --> 00:01:47.480
a year After about a year,
we broke up and I ended up calling

28
00:01:47.480 --> 00:01:51.480
Guy number one. We started hooking
up again. The passion was still there,

29
00:01:52.120 --> 00:01:55.439
but my family didn't care for him. After everything else, I led

30
00:01:55.519 --> 00:01:59.640
him to go back to my safe
choice. He had a better job fit

31
00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:02.239
and better with my family. I'm
married Safe choice and we have kids and

32
00:02:02.319 --> 00:02:06.359
live in the suburbs. Life is
good, but I think about the other

33
00:02:06.400 --> 00:02:09.560
guy a lot, and I always
wonder what my life would be like had

34
00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:14.520
I not gone back to my safe
choice? Who is now my husband?

35
00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:17.199
Thanks for bringing this up. I
hope I hear more stories of people with

36
00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:22.280
similar choices. I often feel guilty
for thinking this way. Have a great

37
00:02:22.360 --> 00:02:24.639
day, not going to say my
name. I really like that. And

38
00:02:24.680 --> 00:02:30.319
I'm not looking for people who are
miserable with their safe choice. I'm looking

39
00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:35.360
for a confirmation that we gravitate.
And if you did gravitate to your safe

40
00:02:35.439 --> 00:02:38.159
choice and you're happy, then you
know what. Sometimes you got to think.

41
00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:42.240
There's an old Twilight Zone. Can
I tell you about this? Yeah,

42
00:02:42.240 --> 00:02:44.400
okay, you know the show Twilight
Zone. I do. So there's

43
00:02:44.400 --> 00:02:47.039
a woman and it takes place like
back in the eighteen fifties or something,

44
00:02:47.639 --> 00:02:51.599
and it's a half an hour's show
and I can't remember what it's called.

45
00:02:51.800 --> 00:02:54.080
No spur of the Moment. If
you ever get a chance, watch Spur

46
00:02:54.159 --> 00:03:00.240
of the Moment, half an hour
Twilight Zone. Woman twenty twenty two years

47
00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:05.680
old. She's getting married to a
boring ass guy that's very stable and her

48
00:03:05.719 --> 00:03:10.919
family loves him. The night before
her wedding, the guy that she's crazy

49
00:03:10.960 --> 00:03:15.800
about sneaks up to the house and
he whistles and she comes out and he

50
00:03:15.960 --> 00:03:19.280
goes, go away with me,
come away with me. Let's go,

51
00:03:19.400 --> 00:03:23.479
let's go, let's go. And
so she does, and she leaves the

52
00:03:23.520 --> 00:03:30.719
wonderful Safe Choice standing there and they
don't get married. Flash forward, it's

53
00:03:30.719 --> 00:03:36.599
twenty years later. Thirty years later, they're broke. He's a drunk,

54
00:03:37.879 --> 00:03:40.400
her life is miserable. I think
she's a drunk now too. She looks

55
00:03:40.479 --> 00:03:46.039
like shit. He's an asshole,
he's abusive. So mister fun fun Times

56
00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:52.439
turned out to be a disaster,
and who knows what would have happen with

57
00:03:52.439 --> 00:03:53.800
the safe Choice. And I think
sometimes you got to keep that in mind,

58
00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:58.080
because yes, you were with guy
number one and there was the passion

59
00:03:58.120 --> 00:04:01.960
in the saxon all that, But
how long would that have lasted? Would

60
00:04:02.039 --> 00:04:05.680
mister safe Choice have been eventually been
a cheater, abusive, a drunk,

61
00:04:05.719 --> 00:04:10.680
a gambler, whatever. So I
think sometimes you can console yourself by saying,

62
00:04:11.199 --> 00:04:14.080
what if I would have been with
mister Excitement and would have been a

63
00:04:14.080 --> 00:04:17.240
disaster. Yeah, So I totally
agree. There's one person I could think

64
00:04:17.279 --> 00:04:19.959
of that I had seen for a
little bit when I was single. We

65
00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:25.399
never officially dated, but I definitely
wanted to date him and now I see

66
00:04:25.399 --> 00:04:30.040
where he's at in his life,
and I'm be honest, I definitely dodge

67
00:04:30.040 --> 00:04:34.480
a bull it with that one.
Like a he's heavily like drinks parties all

68
00:04:34.519 --> 00:04:38.839
the time. It's like constant,
and I'm like, what are you going

69
00:04:38.920 --> 00:04:42.920
to grow up? Like that?
Like that is unattractive enough to me to

70
00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:46.160
not think that that person's exciting anymore. I think that that person doesn't have

71
00:04:46.199 --> 00:04:48.759
their life together and they're going down
a path that doesn't align with me.

72
00:04:48.959 --> 00:04:54.439
So yeah, absolutely, all right. Next one, he says, good

73
00:04:54.480 --> 00:04:57.680
morning friends, I'm excited to be
a staff writer contributor. That's where we

74
00:04:57.720 --> 00:05:00.000
get the meat of our If you're
new to this podcast, first of all,

75
00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:04.519
thank you, But this where we
get the meat of our content is

76
00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:08.800
from you. We come up with
stuff on our own, but we love

77
00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:12.560
your ideas and that's why we call
you a staff writer and we send you

78
00:05:12.600 --> 00:05:15.480
a sticker if we use your email
on the show. I want to share

79
00:05:15.480 --> 00:05:19.399
that Jenny's song choice from Wednesday,
if You're Not the one by David Bettingfield

80
00:05:19.439 --> 00:05:26.480
brought back all the feels from my
college breakup. Oh oof, that hit

81
00:05:26.560 --> 00:05:29.560
hard. I don't think i've thought
about that song since two thousand and four.

82
00:05:29.560 --> 00:05:31.879
I'm glad those days were over.
I'm happily married now. So I'm

83
00:05:32.000 --> 00:05:35.879
wondering, do you guys have a
particular song that instantly sparks feelings good or

84
00:05:35.920 --> 00:05:42.959
bad? Hope this topic wasn't already
covered. Do you jenny off the top

85
00:05:42.959 --> 00:05:46.199
of your head? A song that
brings you back to yes, that relationship

86
00:05:46.360 --> 00:05:51.839
or a relationship, yes the first
time. Well, okay, so Andrew

87
00:05:51.839 --> 00:05:56.680
and I dated previously, and when
we broke up, there was a song.

88
00:05:57.199 --> 00:05:59.920
Oh god, no, I'm not
going to even remember what it's called,

89
00:06:00.399 --> 00:06:03.199
but it's like, it's the lyrics
in it are all about how you

90
00:06:03.240 --> 00:06:06.160
guys dated when you were younger.
You want your separate ways, and you're

91
00:06:06.199 --> 00:06:10.800
wondering how their life was, and
like, how did it turn out?

92
00:06:10.839 --> 00:06:13.839
And I hope you got I hope
you did everything that you dreamed about doing.

93
00:06:14.240 --> 00:06:16.360
And even though Andrew and I had
a tough breakup, like lots of

94
00:06:16.399 --> 00:06:20.959
heartbreak was involved, I still wanted
nothing but the best for him, and

95
00:06:21.000 --> 00:06:25.800
I think he felt the same way
for me. I mean I would think

96
00:06:25.800 --> 00:06:28.399
that he felt the same way.
We're together now, so we like,

97
00:06:28.560 --> 00:06:31.240
you know, So, there was
one song and i'd have to look up

98
00:06:31.279 --> 00:06:34.079
on like a playlist where I have
it because I can't think of the name

99
00:06:34.120 --> 00:06:38.079
of it. But that always reminds
me of that time in my life.

100
00:06:38.360 --> 00:06:42.720
There's an old song from the seventies
that's by a guy named Peter Frampton and

101
00:06:42.759 --> 00:06:49.279
it goes, I don't care where
I go when I'm with you. And

102
00:06:49.319 --> 00:06:54.040
I didn't have a girlfriend back then. That mes I was like a kid,

103
00:06:54.680 --> 00:06:59.439
But that became a song for somebody
since then, and it was very

104
00:06:59.759 --> 00:07:02.600
true true because we didn't care where
we went. We always said. We

105
00:07:02.639 --> 00:07:05.560
used to joke we could go to
a landfill and we would have a good

106
00:07:05.600 --> 00:07:10.839
time. Everything we did was fun. I don't care where I go when

107
00:07:10.839 --> 00:07:14.279
I'm with you. And I don't
hear that song often anymore, thank god.

108
00:07:14.560 --> 00:07:15.480
But the last time I heard it, I had to turn it off

109
00:07:15.519 --> 00:07:19.639
because I just could not go back
to thinking about that. Yeah. So

110
00:07:20.120 --> 00:07:24.439
yeah. Sometimes if you're curious what
my songs called, it's called Follow Your

111
00:07:24.560 --> 00:07:28.040
Fire by a band called cod Aline
or Code Line. I don't even know

112
00:07:28.079 --> 00:07:30.519
how to pres it. I don't
know how I found it. I don't

113
00:07:30.560 --> 00:07:32.040
listen to that band. I just
heard it one day and it was like

114
00:07:32.199 --> 00:07:35.720
fate of hearing it. No,
I get that. She goes on to

115
00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:39.160
say, I attached a picture of
my first time meeting day with my two

116
00:07:39.240 --> 00:07:42.720
kids about fourteen years ago. I
had one tickets for breakfast at the Zoo

117
00:07:43.040 --> 00:07:46.240
promoting the new Colobus monkey exhibit.
Thanks for taking the time to read this.

118
00:07:46.279 --> 00:07:49.279
I appreciate all the time you guys
dedicate to providing such a great and

119
00:07:49.360 --> 00:07:54.560
enjoyable show. Thank you very much, Elizabeth. And she sends a picture

120
00:07:55.160 --> 00:08:01.480
of a fourteen year younger me and
I remember that shirt, and I remember

121
00:08:01.519 --> 00:08:05.399
the watch, and she's holding I'm
holding her little redheaded boy who would now

122
00:08:05.399 --> 00:08:07.680
be about fifteen years old, and
she is holding her adorable daughter, who

123
00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:11.519
would now be about seventeen years old. That is cool, Libby, Thank

124
00:08:11.639 --> 00:08:20.399
you so much. Next one,
let's see, can't we go to this

125
00:08:20.439 --> 00:08:22.079
one because it's oh boy, it's
a law ooh. I'm going to come

126
00:08:22.079 --> 00:08:26.920
back to that one because it is
probably the longest email that I saw on

127
00:08:26.920 --> 00:08:31.639
the Minnesota Goodbye in a long time, so I'll probably come back to that

128
00:08:31.680 --> 00:08:35.039
one. This one says, hey, gang, emailed you guys this morning

129
00:08:35.039 --> 00:08:37.440
about the company that I'm working for. Just laid off a bunch of people.

130
00:08:37.879 --> 00:08:41.320
It's General Dynamics to whoever asked back
for my text messages. Luckily that

131
00:08:41.440 --> 00:08:46.559
wasn't the first I wasn't the first
two wave that got laid off, but

132
00:08:46.639 --> 00:08:50.039
I feel very sad for the ones
that did. It was very heartbreaking seeing

133
00:08:50.080 --> 00:08:54.639
people get walked out, especially the
more elderly people who have worked here for

134
00:08:54.679 --> 00:08:58.960
thirty or forty years. General Dynamics, I believe they make electronics and engines

135
00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:07.960
and aircraft components. I think companies
that does this only lose faith and trust

136
00:09:07.960 --> 00:09:11.159
from their employees, and people wonder
why younger folks don't want to dedicate themselves

137
00:09:11.159 --> 00:09:16.960
to working hard and pushing over time
for these companies. You know that is

138
00:09:18.039 --> 00:09:20.600
had that there's so many layoffs,
and there's layoffs in our company here and

139
00:09:20.639 --> 00:09:26.039
there, and you know, we
none of us are safe. We think

140
00:09:26.080 --> 00:09:31.039
we all know that some of us
are safer than others. I think a

141
00:09:31.080 --> 00:09:33.840
lot of I think one thing that's
happened in our business is a lot of

142
00:09:33.840 --> 00:09:37.120
the people who didn't do a lot
of work. And there are several in

143
00:09:37.159 --> 00:09:39.279
this building that are no longer here
because people couldn't figure out what they did

144
00:09:39.720 --> 00:09:41.879
and then finally they said, okay, let them go. But yeah,

145
00:09:41.919 --> 00:09:46.200
it's got to be very sad.
And I get your point about not wanting

146
00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:50.240
to dedicate yourself to working and pushing
over time for these companies. Think about

147
00:09:50.240 --> 00:09:54.399
it this way. You're doing it
not for them, but for you.

148
00:09:54.399 --> 00:09:58.240
You're doing it to retain your value. And I think sometimes you don't work

149
00:09:58.240 --> 00:10:03.159
for General Dynamics, you work for
you. So if you work for everything

150
00:10:03.320 --> 00:10:09.399
from oh, I don't know,
kemps to Best Buy, you don't work

151
00:10:09.440 --> 00:10:11.600
for them. You work for you. So if you work harder and you're

152
00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:16.759
reliable, you're not on the chopping
block. So when when layoffs come up

153
00:10:16.759 --> 00:10:18.519
around here. I'm not in charge
of that, but there have been people

154
00:10:18.519 --> 00:10:24.159
who have been let go because they
can't be counted on. Yeah, so

155
00:10:24.240 --> 00:10:26.240
work for yourself, not for them, And that's the way to think about

156
00:10:26.279 --> 00:10:31.039
it. Next one, Hello,
my favorite morning show, peeps. I

157
00:10:31.159 --> 00:10:35.919
can attest to those synchronicities that happened
to me all the time with your show.

158
00:10:35.960 --> 00:10:39.159
We talked about this the other day. I remember what they got most

159
00:10:39.200 --> 00:10:41.639
recently Monday morning during the football game
on Sunday, after a couple of cocktails

160
00:10:41.639 --> 00:10:45.679
and endless panning back and forth between
the two coaches. Out of the blue,

161
00:10:46.039 --> 00:10:48.240
I blurted out to the between the
bub to my boyfriend that between the

162
00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:52.840
two, i'd get after the Lions
coach versus the forty nine Ers coach,

163
00:10:52.919 --> 00:10:56.480
because sometimes you just want to be
picked up and thrown around, get a

164
00:10:56.519 --> 00:11:01.240
little roadhouse action. Okay, that's
funny, and I think that sometimes we

165
00:11:01.279 --> 00:11:05.200
talk about Travis Kelcey. He's dating
Taylor Swift, who's five foot eleven,

166
00:11:05.679 --> 00:11:07.240
and he's big enough that he can
pick her up and roadhouse or and maybe

167
00:11:07.279 --> 00:11:13.720
she likes that one. He was
shocked it was the bloody Mary talking and

168
00:11:13.840 --> 00:11:16.399
no, he didn't quite get the
hint. It turned into a discussion that

169
00:11:16.600 --> 00:11:20.159
sometimes it's nice to feel smaller than
your partner, and it's one of those

170
00:11:20.240 --> 00:11:24.320
things I love and appreciate about him. YadA, YadA, YadA. Any

171
00:11:24.399 --> 00:11:28.000
who. Later down the line,
during the same game, a Carnival cruise

172
00:11:28.039 --> 00:11:31.320
commercial came on, and we're talking
about cruise lines. We both agree that

173
00:11:31.440 --> 00:11:35.159
even though neither of us are Disney
people, a Disney cruise seemed like would

174
00:11:35.200 --> 00:11:39.200
be the most legit. Fast forward
to Monday morning, you were talking about

175
00:11:39.200 --> 00:11:41.240
the Chiefs game Travis and Taylor came
up, and here it is. You

176
00:11:41.279 --> 00:11:45.639
talked about how Taylor's five foot eleven. She probably loves that she's smaller than

177
00:11:45.679 --> 00:11:48.279
Travis. And then Jenny chimed in
with sometimes a girl just wants to be

178
00:11:48.480 --> 00:11:52.840
road housed, you know, preach
girl. Then the keyword for winning the

179
00:11:52.919 --> 00:11:56.399
thousand dollars came up, and I
believe it was Dave that mentioned using it

180
00:11:56.440 --> 00:11:58.879
to pay for a Disney cruise.
Dead Yeah, you said, like a

181
00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:03.399
cruise, and then you want specifically
with Disney. At one point. This

182
00:12:03.519 --> 00:12:05.879
happens at least once a week.
It always makes me laugh and shake my

183
00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:11.919
head in disbelief. I think that
means that we're on target with relating to

184
00:12:11.320 --> 00:12:16.600
people who listened to the show.
I knew a DJ one time who worked

185
00:12:16.600 --> 00:12:20.200
on a station like ours, and
he talked a lot about phishing, and

186
00:12:20.279 --> 00:12:26.480
I'm like, Nahn, does it
really hit home with the audience. So

187
00:12:26.799 --> 00:12:28.639
I think that we're kind of tuned
in with that in a lot of ways.

188
00:12:30.440 --> 00:12:33.440
Since I've written in twice this week, I'm the one who's ex hit

189
00:12:33.759 --> 00:12:37.279
all the financial fun I'm working up
the nerve to ask for a staff writer

190
00:12:37.399 --> 00:12:41.759
sticker, please may I have one. You'd make my day even more than

191
00:12:41.840 --> 00:12:45.120
usual. And yes, absolutely,
I'm going to send this to you.

192
00:12:45.240 --> 00:12:50.600
I'm taking a picture of your mail
email right now. Okay, next one,

193
00:12:52.240 --> 00:12:54.159
No, that's the long one.
Let's try. I got to try

194
00:12:54.200 --> 00:12:58.480
to find a shorter one. Okay, Hello, fam. My husband and

195
00:12:58.519 --> 00:13:03.480
I are driving in Florida Onction,
listening to old episodes, and I when

196
00:13:03.519 --> 00:13:07.039
I've written in and you read my
emails, makes the time go by with

197
00:13:07.159 --> 00:13:13.799
a good laugh. Something we thought
of is when people incorrectly say I could

198
00:13:13.879 --> 00:13:18.120
care less. As an example,
everybody keeps talking about the weather, and

199
00:13:18.159 --> 00:13:20.600
I could care less. So you're
saying you could care less than you do

200
00:13:20.799 --> 00:13:24.600
care You want to articulate that the
topic doesn't matter to you, but you're

201
00:13:24.639 --> 00:13:28.320
saying it wrong. You're supposed to
say I couldn't care less. I get

202
00:13:28.360 --> 00:13:31.039
that one. Confused. I do
say I could not care less, but

203
00:13:31.120 --> 00:13:35.200
I get confused. Now Sometimes no, I get and I don't really have

204
00:13:35.320 --> 00:13:41.000
one except people say especially yeah,
and that bugs me. I don't hear

205
00:13:41.080 --> 00:13:43.919
it that often. But okay.
Something I don't want to interrupt real quick

206
00:13:43.960 --> 00:13:46.679
with something I saw that my friend
posted the other day is when somebody's first

207
00:13:46.840 --> 00:13:50.759
name has an S at the end
of it, and you're like, oh,

208
00:13:50.799 --> 00:13:52.279
I'm going to go to so and
so's house. So, for instance,

209
00:13:52.320 --> 00:13:56.519
in Miles, do you say I'm
going to Miles house or am I

210
00:13:56.639 --> 00:13:58.720
going to Miles's house? Miles's house? Yeah, that's what I thought too,

211
00:13:58.799 --> 00:14:03.080
But then I guess, like the
answer is it works either way.

212
00:14:03.480 --> 00:14:05.039
But I was like, I don't
think saying I know. I was like

213
00:14:05.279 --> 00:14:09.320
no, but this person literally talked
to like teachers and they said, ye,

214
00:14:09.000 --> 00:14:13.840
okay, you're right. Probably they
might be and I haven't verified her

215
00:14:13.919 --> 00:14:16.879
sources, so they might be wrong. I'm going to Less house. No,

216
00:14:16.960 --> 00:14:20.759
you're going to Less's house. Right, It just sounds weird with certain

217
00:14:20.879 --> 00:14:24.399
names, like it sounds more normal
than certain names. I'm trying to think

218
00:14:24.399 --> 00:14:28.399
of another one that like Janice,
I'm going to Janis house. No,

219
00:14:28.000 --> 00:14:31.039
Well that's a bad that's a bad
example. No, actually it's a good

220
00:14:31.039 --> 00:14:35.440
example because that's exactly what you're saying. Just because it ends in an S

221
00:14:35.600 --> 00:14:39.759
doesn't mean you get to say I'm
going to Jani's house. Yeah, it's

222
00:14:39.799 --> 00:14:43.320
the same thing as less house.
Yeah, I'm going to best Best b

223
00:14:43.399 --> 00:14:46.960
E S S. I'm going to
best his house, right. Kind of

224
00:14:48.039 --> 00:14:50.159
dumbass teachers? Did you talk to
me? It's not me that talked to

225
00:14:50.200 --> 00:14:52.879
him. It was a friend who
posted it on our Instagram story. And

226
00:14:52.960 --> 00:14:58.840
then she said that some teachers respond
in saying it works either way, so

227
00:14:58.919 --> 00:15:03.559
anyway, sorry, they're stupid.
Okay, we're just having fun. I'm

228
00:15:03.600 --> 00:15:09.039
responding it, says kellay uh to
the person that says, get a colonoscopy.

229
00:15:09.320 --> 00:15:13.039
Okay, I'm fifty and I do
my yearly checkups and the doctor put

230
00:15:13.080 --> 00:15:16.919
into prescription for call of guard.
I did it, results came back needing

231
00:15:16.960 --> 00:15:20.879
to call it ad oscoby to investigate
my positive result, which they say in

232
00:15:20.960 --> 00:15:26.320
the pamphlet that a positive negative can
result. Well, I made the appointment

233
00:15:26.360 --> 00:15:30.840
for the colonoscoby for this past Monday. The financial department of the doctor's called

234
00:15:30.960 --> 00:15:33.559
and have me prepay for my appointment, which is normal because we don't have

235
00:15:33.679 --> 00:15:39.480
health insurance. The lady said the
colonoscoby was a minimum of eight thousand dollars.

236
00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:43.360
Yes, eight thousand dollars. I
cannot believe the system can charge so

237
00:15:43.480 --> 00:15:48.320
much money for procedures that are to
be done. Same with pap smears and

238
00:15:48.320 --> 00:15:50.639
mammograms. I spend a few thousand
dollars on them just in the past few

239
00:15:50.679 --> 00:15:54.720
months. I'm fed up with the
cost of the medical system. My husband

240
00:15:54.759 --> 00:15:56.879
and I each own our own business, so paying for medical insurance would cost

241
00:15:58.000 --> 00:16:03.000
up to eighteen hundred per month.
I agree all those preventative precautions should be

242
00:16:03.039 --> 00:16:06.519
done, but why does it cost
so much since it's preventative. Well,

243
00:16:06.559 --> 00:16:12.279
there's an answer. I don't It's
just that's the way it is. But

244
00:16:12.480 --> 00:16:18.840
preventative care. It's kind of like
how health insurance companies want you to eat

245
00:16:18.960 --> 00:16:23.159
better and they want you to exercise
because they as a business want you to

246
00:16:23.200 --> 00:16:30.120
be healthy, so you don't need
them to pay up. Yep, collecting

247
00:16:30.240 --> 00:16:36.080
your month's it is preventative preventative.
I agree they should have been done,

248
00:16:36.120 --> 00:16:37.440
but why does it cost so much? Sorry for yapping on so long,

249
00:16:37.519 --> 00:16:41.120
but I am frustrated. You all
are awesome. I listen every day.

250
00:16:41.200 --> 00:16:47.039
My day is not complete without you
all. From Kelly. Kelly, I

251
00:16:47.120 --> 00:16:48.799
wish you would get insurance, but
I guess I mean it depends on how

252
00:16:48.840 --> 00:16:55.120
well your business is doing. A
month is a lot for insurance. That's

253
00:16:55.320 --> 00:16:56.799
a lot of money. Can it
pay for itself. I mean, what

254
00:16:56.960 --> 00:17:04.000
is eighteen hey ser or hey Alexa? What is eighteen hundred times twelve?

255
00:17:04.920 --> 00:17:10.119
Good morning, David? One?
Eight hundred times twelve is twenty one thousand,

256
00:17:10.200 --> 00:17:14.119
six hundred. So you'd pay twenty
one thousand dollars a year for insurance.

257
00:17:14.240 --> 00:17:17.240
That is a lot of money.
It's a lot of money. So

258
00:17:17.359 --> 00:17:19.359
I get why you wouldn't pay for
it, But man, I would encourage

259
00:17:19.359 --> 00:17:22.759
you. Kelly, Somewhere down the
road, you've got to get insurance,

260
00:17:22.880 --> 00:17:29.920
especially you're fifty and you're going to
run into fifties and when shit starts to

261
00:17:30.000 --> 00:17:33.079
go wrong in your body. Yeah, you don't know this, Jenny.

262
00:17:33.119 --> 00:17:34.440
You're young and you're healthy, and
when you're in your twenties and thirties,

263
00:17:34.759 --> 00:17:37.240
you're like, I'm healthy, I
don't need any of this shit. But

264
00:17:37.359 --> 00:17:42.279
when you're in your fifties, you
start to get like your joints hurt and

265
00:17:42.359 --> 00:17:47.680
you've got to go in for an
MRI on your shoulder, or you I

266
00:17:47.720 --> 00:17:49.519
don't know, you have some sort
of pain in your belly and you've got

267
00:17:49.599 --> 00:17:53.960
to go in for a colonoscopy or
an endoscopy. Kelly. I hope that

268
00:17:55.079 --> 00:17:56.839
somewhere down the road you get insurance. I don't know if there's a way

269
00:17:56.880 --> 00:18:00.839
to get it that's more affordable or
what. But wow. But at the

270
00:18:00.839 --> 00:18:04.400
same time, I admire you for
having your own business. Where are we

271
00:18:04.480 --> 00:18:07.319
doing for time? Jay? You
got to wrap up in about sixty seconds

272
00:18:07.359 --> 00:18:11.279
here? Okay, well then we
timed it perfectly. Thank you so much.

273
00:18:11.319 --> 00:18:12.599
And I'm going to get to this
really long one. It is written

274
00:18:12.680 --> 00:18:18.119
by where's her name Katie and it's
really long, but I'm going to give

275
00:18:18.160 --> 00:18:26.119
it the respect it deserves and probably
read that tomorrow on the Minnesota Goodbye and

276
00:18:26.240 --> 00:18:30.920
I think that is it. Send
your emails. I want to hear more

277
00:18:30.039 --> 00:18:36.319
about your safe choice, whether you
went with the safe one or whether you

278
00:18:36.400 --> 00:18:38.720
went with the one that you really
love, whether you're happy, and if

279
00:18:38.720 --> 00:18:42.160
you get a chance, watch Spur
of the Moment if you watch it on

280
00:18:42.400 --> 00:18:45.319
probably it's on YouTube. I know
it's on Netflix. Spur of the Moment,

281
00:18:45.400 --> 00:18:51.240
old Twilight Zone episode because it really
is powerful and it makes you realize,

282
00:18:51.319 --> 00:18:53.960
Hey, maybe the wonderful one wouldn't
be so wonderful in the end.

283
00:18:55.240 --> 00:19:00.039
Yeah, that's it. Ryanshow at
katiwb dot com and we'll get just a

284
00:19:00.119 --> 00:19:00.440
writer sticker if we use your email
