1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.600
I gonna start off the Minnesota Goodbye
with a complaint, it says bff's and

2
00:00:03.680 --> 00:00:05.719
usually not a complainer, but I
get a bone to pick with you,

3
00:00:05.919 --> 00:00:10.439
Dave. I've sent a couple of
emails to the Minnesota Goodbye that we're read

4
00:00:10.439 --> 00:00:13.599
on the podcast and requested as staff
rider sticker, but never got one.

5
00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:18.280
Four weeks I've been excitedly going to
the mailbox only to find some stupid fucking

6
00:00:18.359 --> 00:00:22.000
Christmas cards with pictures of families that
I don't want. That shit goes right

7
00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:25.239
in the trash. I love you
already right about now. I'd be happy

8
00:00:25.239 --> 00:00:30.839
to get Ralphie's fucking little orphanani bullshit
to coder ring Ah got then, just

9
00:00:30.879 --> 00:00:33.600
to add insult to injury, I'm
listening the other day and some lucky girl

10
00:00:33.640 --> 00:00:36.960
got too. What even, Dave? What have I done? And then

11
00:00:37.000 --> 00:00:40.759
she puts the laugh emoji and the
heart emoji, so I know she's kidding.

12
00:00:40.759 --> 00:00:43.520
She says, I love you guys
so much, brighten my day every

13
00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:46.119
day, you make my workday better. Thank you. Can I please get

14
00:00:46.119 --> 00:00:49.960
a staff writer sticker? I promise
I'll slap that bitch right on my laptop.

15
00:00:50.079 --> 00:00:54.439
That is Mary Anne in Blaine,
Mary Anne. Absolutely, it is

16
00:00:55.000 --> 00:00:57.759
totally possible that I did not send
you one. I don't know how it

17
00:00:57.799 --> 00:01:00.759
slipped through the crack. I thought
it was doing very good at that But

18
00:01:00.799 --> 00:01:03.519
if you sent too and I never
sent you a sticker, my bad.

19
00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:07.840
It'll be a couple of days because
I'm in Colorado. But watch for it

20
00:01:08.439 --> 00:01:15.280
and I will get you a staff
writer sticker. Another one says I added

21
00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:19.840
this Joslin, I added my stickers
to our new garage fridge. Thanks so

22
00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:25.239
much for sending it seems to be
a popular place for our stickers. She

23
00:01:25.319 --> 00:01:30.920
put the Dave Ryan Show sticker and
the staff writer sticker on her garage freezer

24
00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:36.000
door. Nice, So thank you, Joslyn. Appreciate that one. That

25
00:01:36.159 --> 00:01:41.120
is spam. That is junk.
That is junk. This one says they

26
00:01:41.159 --> 00:01:44.200
are our local book author and they
look for a shout out. So I'm

27
00:01:44.200 --> 00:01:48.359
going to read that one a little
bit later on. This one says,

28
00:01:48.480 --> 00:01:49.519
you know, I'm trying to find
one with content. There's a lot of

29
00:01:49.519 --> 00:01:52.439
ones that are saying, hey,
can I get a staff writer sticker?

30
00:01:52.480 --> 00:01:57.359
I never got one, so there
it goes that one. Next one Jenny

31
00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:02.079
as I started whatever happened to your
poop clips that you used to make?

32
00:02:02.120 --> 00:02:07.640
Where can I find one interesting story? Now? We can talk about them

33
00:02:07.640 --> 00:02:12.039
on the Minnesota Goodbye because it is
not regulated by the Federal Communications Commission.

34
00:02:12.479 --> 00:02:17.199
So I can plug Clip a Doo's
on the Minnesota Goodbye because we can't plug

35
00:02:17.240 --> 00:02:22.360
them on the radio because the radio
waves are protected by the Federal Communications Commission,

36
00:02:22.599 --> 00:02:25.960
where I am not allowed to apparently
try to sell something that I'm not

37
00:02:27.039 --> 00:02:30.960
that I have an interest in that, you know what I mean and business

38
00:02:31.080 --> 00:02:35.080
jargon, you know. Yeah,
But on the podcast, I can mention

39
00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:37.080
it, but I'm not going to
overdo it because I don't want to,

40
00:02:37.120 --> 00:02:39.360
you know, step in any grey
territory. But yeah, I make clip

41
00:02:39.439 --> 00:02:45.639
a do's and they are amazing.
I invented it, but it's it's not

42
00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:50.759
incredibly unique. It's a clip that
goes on your dog's leash and then there's

43
00:02:50.800 --> 00:02:53.039
a clip on the end that easily
clips onto their poop pag. There are

44
00:02:53.080 --> 00:02:57.520
other products like that that are out
there, but I really like mine the

45
00:02:57.560 --> 00:03:00.840
best because it's simple and it's expensive. I think it's nine to ninety nine

46
00:03:00.919 --> 00:03:04.759
for one of them. They make
a great stocking stuffer and you can get

47
00:03:04.800 --> 00:03:09.199
them on Etsy just search clip a
do Ce, l Ipado or Dave Ryan

48
00:03:09.520 --> 00:03:12.919
Dave. Finally think, oh,
I was gonna say, Dave gave me

49
00:03:12.960 --> 00:03:15.680
one the other day. Finally,
And I'm so pumped because there's one dog

50
00:03:15.719 --> 00:03:19.400
I watch who literally like it's her
goal to not poop in the yard,

51
00:03:19.439 --> 00:03:22.560
but the instant you take her on
a walk within like a block, she

52
00:03:22.639 --> 00:03:25.639
poops every single time. And I
am so sick of carrying the poop until

53
00:03:25.639 --> 00:03:29.879
we get to the high school that's
near my house and get to a garbage

54
00:03:29.879 --> 00:03:31.919
like a public garbage can that I
can throw it in. But so I'm

55
00:03:31.960 --> 00:03:35.960
pumped and finally have one. No, they're great. I mean seriously,

56
00:03:36.120 --> 00:03:38.840
I used to before I invented the
clip a do seven or eight or nine

57
00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:43.719
years ago. I remember I used
to take the Josie's poop and I would

58
00:03:43.759 --> 00:03:46.840
tie it to her collar because I
was like, it's your poop, You're

59
00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:49.639
going to carry it, and so
you know, she didn't like it,

60
00:03:49.680 --> 00:03:52.400
but she didn't really have a choice. And then I said, oh,

61
00:03:52.439 --> 00:03:53.680
well, what if I clip it
to the leash? And then I got

62
00:03:53.680 --> 00:03:58.879
an idea and then I clipped one
into the leash and the other one was

63
00:03:58.919 --> 00:04:01.599
the one it looks like pe and
you slide down like when you clip a

64
00:04:01.639 --> 00:04:05.520
dog's leash to their collar. And
then that was a little bit cumbersome.

65
00:04:05.599 --> 00:04:10.479
So I just used tube clips two
alligator clips to hold the poop on there.

66
00:04:10.520 --> 00:04:15.319
So if you want one, let
me know. Next question, why

67
00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:17.439
is the app sound sped up?
When Drake laughs, he sounds like a

68
00:04:17.519 --> 00:04:23.920
chipmunk. Is it just my phone? And yeah, it is your phone

69
00:04:23.959 --> 00:04:27.319
because when you listen to a podcast, you can listen to it at one

70
00:04:27.360 --> 00:04:30.920
point oh speed, which is the
normal speed one point twenty five one point

71
00:04:30.959 --> 00:04:33.920
five, and then two point oh
you can even listen to half speed.

72
00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:38.720
So I'm gonna guess look at your
phone and tap on it, and then

73
00:04:38.879 --> 00:04:42.759
you'll see that it's probably sped up
to one point five. Yeah. I've

74
00:04:42.759 --> 00:04:45.279
caught myself a couple times being like
this sounds weird, and then I look

75
00:04:45.360 --> 00:04:46.240
down and I was like, oh, it's on one point high speed.

76
00:04:47.000 --> 00:04:49.879
Yeah. I listened to most podcasts
on one point five. I listened to

77
00:04:49.920 --> 00:04:54.800
that air disaster crash with those two
women that do the air disaster podcast.

78
00:04:54.879 --> 00:04:58.319
It's called Take to the Sky,
the Air Disaster Podcast, and I listened

79
00:04:58.319 --> 00:05:01.600
to it yesterday, and I always
listened to it at at one and a

80
00:05:01.600 --> 00:05:04.079
half speed. Let me ask you
a question, Jenny. When you listen

81
00:05:04.120 --> 00:05:10.639
to a podcast and you're listening to
like these two people that host this podcast,

82
00:05:10.680 --> 00:05:14.199
they're great, and I've listened to
it for years, but they always

83
00:05:14.199 --> 00:05:17.480
do about ten minutes of fluff and
personal stories before they get into it,

84
00:05:17.639 --> 00:05:21.480
yep. And it'll be anything about
their dog or about their trip, or

85
00:05:21.560 --> 00:05:27.399
their husband or school, or their
mom or health or whatever. And it's

86
00:05:27.439 --> 00:05:30.800
to me, it's like, I
don't care. It's interesting that they have

87
00:05:30.920 --> 00:05:34.560
personalities and whatever, But do you
listen to any podcasts where it takes them

88
00:05:34.759 --> 00:05:40.040
minutes to get to the content?
There is the fluff. Yeah, there's

89
00:05:40.199 --> 00:05:43.079
one girl, her and I share. Her podcast is called be There in

90
00:05:43.160 --> 00:05:46.519
five, and she kind of does
that and I usually skip ahead to like

91
00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:50.160
once she starts getting into the content
of her podcast. And it's not that

92
00:05:50.199 --> 00:05:54.920
I don't care, but like I
guess, I haven't like grown to like

93
00:05:55.079 --> 00:05:58.920
her to care about her personal life
as much as she was as much as

94
00:05:58.959 --> 00:06:00.319
I like to hear about the time
topics that she talks about. But then

95
00:06:00.360 --> 00:06:04.040
I also listen to podcasts where it's
like all about their personal life. Like

96
00:06:04.120 --> 00:06:08.639
there's one podcast it's very filthy.
It's called the Guys We Fucked Podcasts,

97
00:06:08.800 --> 00:06:12.000
and it's easy. You serious.
It's these two comedians out of New York.

98
00:06:12.079 --> 00:06:15.199
They're super they're super funny, and
they started it based off of talking

99
00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:17.959
about guys that they had slept with, and now it's transformed because they've been

100
00:06:17.959 --> 00:06:20.759
doing it for like eight years.
So eventually you run out of stories.

101
00:06:21.199 --> 00:06:26.360
But I like to hear their stories
and like how they have a comedy show

102
00:06:26.360 --> 00:06:28.199
even though I'm never going to go
to it because it's in New York.

103
00:06:28.240 --> 00:06:30.319
I like to hear their stuff because
that's more of the kind of podcast it

104
00:06:30.399 --> 00:06:33.360
is where I care about their life. Okay, I think that's interesting.

105
00:06:33.360 --> 00:06:36.600
If people are good storytellers or their
comedians, then you want to hear their

106
00:06:36.639 --> 00:06:41.720
stories. And these two women,
they're great storytellers. I just don't always

107
00:06:41.720 --> 00:06:45.639
care. It depends, honestly,
if I'm going out for an hour long

108
00:06:45.759 --> 00:06:48.720
walk, I'll listen to it.
If I'm like, I got thirty minutes

109
00:06:48.759 --> 00:06:51.639
I get to be to work,
then I will not listen to it.

110
00:06:51.800 --> 00:06:57.879
Yeah, yeah, I think that's
I think that's all I had to say

111
00:06:57.879 --> 00:07:01.240
about that one except to say there
are some really bad podcasters out there because

112
00:07:01.240 --> 00:07:05.600
there's no training, there's no licensing, there's no standard to do a podcast,

113
00:07:06.079 --> 00:07:10.360
and sometimes you listen to a podcast
and it's like, God, you're

114
00:07:10.399 --> 00:07:14.800
a terrible storyteller. Get to the
point. So I will say one thing

115
00:07:14.839 --> 00:07:17.079
real quick about podcasts, because I
think I think a lot of people were

116
00:07:17.079 --> 00:07:21.160
like bored during COVID, so they
started one, and some people absolutely took

117
00:07:21.199 --> 00:07:25.160
off and did great. Some people
probably still only get, you know,

118
00:07:25.160 --> 00:07:29.120
their mom and dad listen, and
maybe some friends. But when Andrew started

119
00:07:29.160 --> 00:07:30.759
real Estate, him and one of
his friends in his office were like,

120
00:07:30.800 --> 00:07:34.240
we're going to start a podcast.
And I hate to be the like Devil's

121
00:07:34.240 --> 00:07:36.959
Advocate Debbie Downer person all the time, but I kind of was like why,

122
00:07:38.680 --> 00:07:40.000
Like what are you going to talk
about it? He's like, well,

123
00:07:40.040 --> 00:07:43.199
real estate, And I go,
what makes you think that you're going

124
00:07:43.199 --> 00:07:46.519
to grow this listenership based like you
don't have the experience quite yet, like

125
00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:49.639
you just started, and he goes, well, I don't know, like

126
00:07:49.680 --> 00:07:53.639
we could just try. And I
like kind of explained to him how a

127
00:07:53.680 --> 00:07:57.319
lot of people start podcasts and it
becomes this extra thing that they do and

128
00:07:57.360 --> 00:08:00.160
it serves them no purpose in the
end, and it's this extra time that

129
00:08:00.199 --> 00:08:03.600
they spend doing it. And he
like finally agreed, Like I wasn't trying

130
00:08:03.600 --> 00:08:07.040
to be like not be supportive,
but I was like, I gotta be

131
00:08:07.079 --> 00:08:11.720
honest, babe, you just started
in real estate. If you're only talking

132
00:08:11.720 --> 00:08:15.319
about real estate, I don't really
think you have like the resume yet to

133
00:08:15.480 --> 00:08:18.680
be a podcaster about real estate,
even though he had like properties before that.

134
00:08:18.759 --> 00:08:22.759
But yeah, so I kind of
crushed his dreams for a second.

135
00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:24.639
But he did admit like a week
later that I was totally right in what

136
00:08:24.680 --> 00:08:28.160
I said. You know what,
you were just trying to be realistic.

137
00:08:28.240 --> 00:08:31.240
It's kind of like if your kid
wants to move to Hollywood and drop everything

138
00:08:31.279 --> 00:08:35.200
to go become, you know,
a big star, you might want to

139
00:08:35.240 --> 00:08:41.039
say, well, you really gotta
be realistic about that. Whatever. So,

140
00:08:41.200 --> 00:08:43.799
you know what, I don't think
you did anything wrong, But I

141
00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:48.200
will say I know that I've heard
somewhere that most the Great I don't about

142
00:08:48.200 --> 00:08:50.639
the Great majority, but a lot
of podcasts have one episode because they recorded

143
00:08:50.679 --> 00:08:54.080
the podcast, they saw that nobody
really responded to it. They said that

144
00:08:54.159 --> 00:08:56.480
was tough. I don't have anything
else to talk about. I think if

145
00:08:56.480 --> 00:09:01.919
you're going to start a podcast,
map out five or six or ten episodes,

146
00:09:01.159 --> 00:09:03.759
so you're like, I know,
I've got enough content. And you

147
00:09:03.799 --> 00:09:07.480
can't map out or plan five or
six or ten episodes in advance, then

148
00:09:07.519 --> 00:09:11.440
maybe it's not a strong enough topic
to do a podcast on. And then

149
00:09:11.519 --> 00:09:15.320
some podcasts run their course too.
I mean, Fallon did the Heartbroken podcast,

150
00:09:15.679 --> 00:09:18.639
which was huge yep, but after
a while it kind of ran its

151
00:09:18.639 --> 00:09:22.879
course yep. And there's nothing wrong
with that. This is She ends it

152
00:09:22.919 --> 00:09:26.879
by saying, can I please get
a staff writer sticker? But she does

153
00:09:26.919 --> 00:09:33.159
not give her address. So Nicole, send me another email with your address

154
00:09:33.200 --> 00:09:35.840
and your name, and I will
send you a staff writer sticker. She

155
00:09:35.879 --> 00:09:39.240
does say dart lick dark. No, she says dark dark, dart lick

156
00:09:39.320 --> 00:09:45.919
lick Ooh. Changing it up a
little bit. You can't always do the

157
00:09:45.960 --> 00:09:48.240
same thing, Dave, what's that? I said? You can't always do

158
00:09:48.279 --> 00:09:52.720
the same thing. No, you
gotta change it up. There was a

159
00:09:52.840 --> 00:09:54.879
comedian and I'm gonna tell you a
disgusting story, but it's kind of funny.

160
00:09:56.600 --> 00:09:58.840
And he said, when you are
performing oral sex on a woman.

161
00:10:00.240 --> 00:10:03.320
You don't just like up down,
up down, up down. You know

162
00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:07.279
what you do, but you lick
the alphabet. Okay, I've heard this.

163
00:10:07.759 --> 00:10:09.320
Have you heard this before? I've
heard I think it's been in like

164
00:10:09.480 --> 00:10:13.200
rap songs or something. Yeah,
like you do the ABC's with your tongue.

165
00:10:15.120 --> 00:10:18.159
Really, yeah, Okay, I'd
never heard of that before. I

166
00:10:18.320 --> 00:10:20.960
don't really, I don't. Nobody
wants to hear about anything I want to

167
00:10:20.960 --> 00:10:24.200
say about that, so I'm gonna
move on. Don't use my name.

168
00:10:24.799 --> 00:10:31.159
I'm responding to the gluten free question
from today. There was a woman who

169
00:10:31.200 --> 00:10:35.759
wrote in yesterday. She said,
we're doing an office cookie exchange, and

170
00:10:35.039 --> 00:10:39.279
everybody in the office is doing gluten
free because one person can't have gluten.

171
00:10:39.720 --> 00:10:43.679
And she said, amine asshole for
saying, screw it. I'm not going

172
00:10:43.720 --> 00:10:46.879
to buy a bunch of gluten free
ingredients that I'll never use again. I'm

173
00:10:46.879 --> 00:10:48.919
going to go ahead and make gluten
cookie, you know, non gluten free

174
00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:52.519
cookies, and if she doesn't like
it, then she doesn't have to eat

175
00:10:52.559 --> 00:10:54.279
them. And I said, no, you're not a jerk at all.

176
00:10:54.639 --> 00:10:56.159
I said, do you have every
right to do that? And I said

177
00:10:56.720 --> 00:11:01.639
from what I understand, a lot
of people think that gluten free is a

178
00:11:01.679 --> 00:11:05.519
good dietary choice, kind of like
fat free or sugar free, where most

179
00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:07.879
of us don't need to eat gluten
free, but some people do. So

180
00:11:07.960 --> 00:11:11.639
Let's see what she says. My
spouse has siliac disease, which means we

181
00:11:11.720 --> 00:11:16.919
eating one hundred percent gluten free for
the rest of his life. The superb

182
00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:20.120
basic sum up is that gluten causes
erosion to the small intestine, so you

183
00:11:20.159 --> 00:11:26.440
cannot absorb nutrients. People have died
historically from malnutrition before doctors figure out what

184
00:11:26.480 --> 00:11:31.720
was happening, and it dates as
far back as the Egyptians. You can

185
00:11:31.840 --> 00:11:37.360
range from violent immediate reactions to basically
no noticeable symptoms even though the hidden damage

186
00:11:37.360 --> 00:11:41.639
is still happening. Siliac people have
to watch out for cross contamination, meaning

187
00:11:41.759 --> 00:11:46.120
you can't cut regular bread and then
use the same cutting border knife to cut

188
00:11:46.159 --> 00:11:50.039
something for someone with siliac. Even
flour in the air at a pizza shop

189
00:11:50.080 --> 00:11:54.519
can be enough to make someone sick. It's a big pain that makes eating

190
00:11:54.519 --> 00:11:58.600
out nearly impossible. Some people are
gluten sensitive or gluten intolerant, which is

191
00:11:58.600 --> 00:12:05.279
not the same as celiac and usually
not worried about cross contamination. All to

192
00:12:05.440 --> 00:12:09.960
say that even though those well meaning
co workers who are making gluten free food

193
00:12:09.000 --> 00:12:13.960
are likely making contaminated food, so
it depends on who they are planning servit

194
00:12:13.960 --> 00:12:16.279
to. My spouse has learned not
to accept homemade food from anyone, even

195
00:12:16.320 --> 00:12:20.799
if they describe all the methods they
do to avoid they did to avoid contamination.

196
00:12:22.240 --> 00:12:24.240
It's nice to feel included, but
I don't think the person who wrote

197
00:12:24.240 --> 00:12:28.000
in needs to feel pressure to make
anything gluten free. Simply mentioning that you

198
00:12:28.120 --> 00:12:33.360
didn't want to accidentally gluten the person
should be sufficient to anybody who makes a

199
00:12:33.519 --> 00:12:37.440
fuss. I'm glad that she put
it that way, because you know,

200
00:12:37.639 --> 00:12:43.759
there's some people who are so I
don't know, crazy about passionate. You

201
00:12:43.759 --> 00:12:48.480
could say about that that she didn't
go down the road of like you are

202
00:12:48.519 --> 00:12:50.799
a terrible person that you don't want
to So I'm glad that she was able

203
00:12:50.799 --> 00:12:54.480
to see both sides. And that's
interesting. I did not know that there

204
00:12:54.480 --> 00:12:58.720
were people who are that sensitive to
gluten. So thanks for educating us.

205
00:12:58.799 --> 00:13:03.600
H a little bit. Appreciate that
one looking at the next one to see

206
00:13:03.600 --> 00:13:07.120
if it's you know, it's more
spammy email y kind of stuff. Joe

207
00:13:07.120 --> 00:13:11.159
from Turlock, California, regular supporter
of the podcast. Correct me if I'm

208
00:13:11.159 --> 00:13:15.759
wrong, but I feel like door
Dash, grub hub, uber kind of

209
00:13:15.799 --> 00:13:18.399
thing took off right before the pandemic
because people were getting laid off and this

210
00:13:18.519 --> 00:13:22.639
was an alternative to unemployment. Like, this wasn't supposed to be a career.

211
00:13:24.120 --> 00:13:26.960
It was meant for people to raise
a few bucks while looking for another

212
00:13:26.080 --> 00:13:31.000
job, similar to fast food,
where fast food was meant for entry level

213
00:13:31.039 --> 00:13:33.799
employment to gain work experience. But
then people tried to make it a career

214
00:13:35.080 --> 00:13:37.480
and are now demanding twenty dollars an
hour. I've got nothing to add to

215
00:13:37.519 --> 00:13:41.840
that, Joe. I think you
summed up my opinion on that exactly.

216
00:13:43.000 --> 00:13:46.840
I don't think that every job should
pay a minimum should pay a livable wage.

217
00:13:46.159 --> 00:13:48.759
And I know that people go,
well, the president of so and

218
00:13:48.840 --> 00:13:54.320
so she makes or the CEO she
makes twenty four million dollars a year.

219
00:13:54.360 --> 00:13:56.519
They should be able to pay there, you know, but that's what she

220
00:13:56.879 --> 00:14:01.759
earns, that's what her the mark
could place pays. And I think if

221
00:14:01.799 --> 00:14:05.200
you work at like you know,
my wife Susan, she doesn't even make

222
00:14:05.200 --> 00:14:11.039
a livable wage herself at her shop, much less be able to pay somebody

223
00:14:11.399 --> 00:14:16.519
a livable wage. Yeah, some
jobs just don't pay a livable wage,

224
00:14:16.720 --> 00:14:20.759
but there certainly are some people who
will bitch and moan and say that it

225
00:14:20.799 --> 00:14:22.960
should. I don't think that certain
job. When I was in you know,

226
00:14:22.960 --> 00:14:26.639
when I first started working, I
worked at a radio station. Probably

227
00:14:26.679 --> 00:14:31.679
was in radio for three years before
I made a livable wage. Yeah.

228
00:14:33.320 --> 00:14:37.919
I also think that livable wage is
very much your own perspective. So some

229
00:14:39.000 --> 00:14:43.639
people might think a livable wage includes
being able to buy an niced coffee every

230
00:14:43.679 --> 00:14:46.360
single day, and at that I
say, no, that is not what

231
00:14:46.399 --> 00:14:50.840
you get to get out of doing
like bare minimum work in my opinion.

232
00:14:50.120 --> 00:14:54.039
But I think livable wage is also
something that's kind of like up in the

233
00:14:54.080 --> 00:14:58.960
air of what you consider a livable
wage, because for me, I was

234
00:14:58.399 --> 00:15:03.320
barely enough to get by for like
most of my twenties because I just had

235
00:15:03.519 --> 00:15:07.399
very entry level positions and stuff.
But like, I wasn't going out and

236
00:15:07.519 --> 00:15:11.240
I was making a livable wage,
but I wasn't going out and doing the

237
00:15:11.240 --> 00:15:15.120
extra things that some people might find
like going out to eat and stuff.

238
00:15:15.159 --> 00:15:18.480
And that was fine. With me
because but some people would argue that that's

239
00:15:18.480 --> 00:15:20.080
not okay. I should be able, I should have been able to like

240
00:15:20.200 --> 00:15:24.039
go out to eat and whatever.
You know, a good point. I

241
00:15:24.080 --> 00:15:26.000
mean, really it depends on what
you consider is a livable wage. If

242
00:15:26.039 --> 00:15:28.960
you can't afford to go out to
eat, if you can't afford a vacation,

243
00:15:30.519 --> 00:15:31.840
that is a good thing, I
mean, the good thing to talk

244
00:15:31.879 --> 00:15:37.039
about because it means different things to
different people. Right next one and says

245
00:15:37.120 --> 00:15:39.320
you can say my name. My
main reason for emailing is to ask for

246
00:15:39.360 --> 00:15:43.120
the link to the light that Susan
opened on the show this morning. I

247
00:15:43.159 --> 00:15:46.720
recently learned how to crochet, and
man, is it a struggle to see

248
00:15:46.720 --> 00:15:50.399
what's going on? Sometimes she wears
a neck light. You know what,

249
00:15:50.440 --> 00:15:52.480
I'll try to get it for you, and I don't have it off the

250
00:15:52.519 --> 00:15:54.639
top of my head. While I'm
here, I want to say how much

251
00:15:54.639 --> 00:15:58.960
I appreciate what you do for Christmas
wish this year. It's really given me

252
00:15:58.039 --> 00:16:03.120
some perspective on my life. I've
struggled with depression and anxiety for a long

253
00:16:03.120 --> 00:16:07.159
time, and the last year has
been especially rough. As a result,

254
00:16:07.159 --> 00:16:11.720
I find myself getting impatient with my
kids and husband faster. Hearing the stories

255
00:16:11.759 --> 00:16:15.679
on Christmas Wish has really made me
realize how lucky I am to have all

256
00:16:15.720 --> 00:16:19.519
that I do and inspired me to
start taking steps to better myself for my

257
00:16:19.639 --> 00:16:23.799
family. Good. Honestly, even
writing this email is huge for me since

258
00:16:23.840 --> 00:16:29.480
one of my problems is reaching out
to others, and I think that's great.

259
00:16:29.759 --> 00:16:32.600
That's one of the things that I
think Christmas Wish does is it makes

260
00:16:32.600 --> 00:16:41.200
you feel grateful about how lucky you
are. And I think that we absolutely

261
00:16:41.320 --> 00:16:47.720
can appreciate what we have and improve
ourselves for the people that are around us.

262
00:16:47.759 --> 00:16:52.120
Whatever that is, whether it stops
smoking or to get healthier or to

263
00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:55.320
whatever it is, I don't know
for sure. We got to wrap up,

264
00:16:55.399 --> 00:16:56.960
Dave. Sorry, I don't want
to cut you off, but we're

265
00:16:56.960 --> 00:17:02.639
getting close on time here. Thank
you for sending your emails to Ryan Show
