WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.480 --> 00:00:04.519 Let's get started with the Minnesota Goodbye. Thank you for being here and welcome. 2 00:00:05.160 --> 00:00:07.679 I'm gonna guess you've listened a few times, but if you's you're a 3 00:00:07.719 --> 00:00:10.640 first time listener. Thanks for finding us. A lot of people don't know 4 00:00:10.640 --> 00:00:14.759 that we do it after the show podcast that is kind of much looser and 5 00:00:15.039 --> 00:00:20.359 chatty and kind of all over the place. Yeah, Rochelle writes in don't 6 00:00:20.480 --> 00:00:25.839 use my name. So Rochelle writes, I love you all as well in 7 00:00:25.920 --> 00:00:29.679 the world. Thank you so much for doing your show every day. Have 8 00:00:29.760 --> 00:00:33.799 a great day. And that's I made that up to protect the innocent. 9 00:00:33.840 --> 00:00:38.439 Here, let's move on to another one here, let's go to this one 10 00:00:38.479 --> 00:00:41.840 also says, don't say my name be a good topic for the Minnesota Goodbye. 11 00:00:41.840 --> 00:00:46.600 Don't say maybe even the show. Good friend of mine just told me 12 00:00:46.679 --> 00:00:50.479 that he and his wife filed for bankruptcy a few months ago. I was 13 00:00:50.560 --> 00:00:54.520 shocked because they seemed to be doing fine. He had lost his job a 14 00:00:54.520 --> 00:00:57.520 few years ago and found a new one shortly after, but was making way 15 00:00:57.600 --> 00:01:00.960 less than before. They had to dip into savings to get by. Pretty 16 00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:04.439 soon, credit cards are being maxed out. A few thousand medical bills were 17 00:01:04.439 --> 00:01:10.680 going to collections. Major and necessary repairs to their house that costs thousands of 18 00:01:10.719 --> 00:01:14.280 dollars left them in major debt. He's making better money now, but they 19 00:01:14.319 --> 00:01:18.439 still could not make all the minimum payments. They live in an average house, 20 00:01:18.519 --> 00:01:22.560 drive average vehicles, and don't buy flashy stuff. He was so embarrassed 21 00:01:22.560 --> 00:01:25.439 about getting it to this point, and he hid it from everybody. It 22 00:01:25.480 --> 00:01:29.280 really opened my eyes to people that file bankruptcy. I always thought it was 23 00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:33.000 people that lived way above their means and didn't care about racking up credit cards. 24 00:01:33.799 --> 00:01:37.079 His car took a shit right after filing, and since their savings was 25 00:01:37.120 --> 00:01:41.719 pretty much done, they had to take out a car loan, which their 26 00:01:41.799 --> 00:01:46.920 lawyer said was a good idea to do to start building credit back. I 27 00:01:47.079 --> 00:01:51.079 had no idea you could even get a loan after filing bankruptcy. There's a 28 00:01:51.079 --> 00:01:52.920 lot more. He told me that I won't get into it. I thought 29 00:01:52.920 --> 00:01:55.840 of Jonathan Fogil come on on the show to talk about divorce. Maybe have 30 00:01:55.920 --> 00:01:59.480 a bankruptcy attorney come on to answer questions about bankruptcy. Since a lot of 31 00:01:59.519 --> 00:02:05.000 people look at bankruptcy like I did, thinking it was sketchy and you know, 32 00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:07.039 that type of thing he is, so he said, he's so happy 33 00:02:07.080 --> 00:02:12.560 they made the choice to file. What do you want to say, Jenny. 34 00:02:12.840 --> 00:02:15.800 I also was in a situation where I found out that someone I grew 35 00:02:15.879 --> 00:02:22.120 up with that their family filed bankruptcy twice throughout like when we were growing up, 36 00:02:22.319 --> 00:02:24.919 and I had no idea. I took them as people who were very 37 00:02:24.919 --> 00:02:30.039 financially responsible. They had a decent house, they built a pool, like, 38 00:02:30.479 --> 00:02:34.639 lived in a really like right by this lake. And I was shocked 39 00:02:34.680 --> 00:02:38.599 when I heard that. But I also never understood bankruptcy that well until I 40 00:02:38.639 --> 00:02:43.800 found out that this family had filed for it. Yeah, but I I 41 00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:46.919 will say, I have my thoughts on what that family did, and I 42 00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:50.319 think that they like two times around, it's kind of like, all right, 43 00:02:50.479 --> 00:02:53.240 you know that you were doing something wrong at some point, let's make 44 00:02:53.240 --> 00:02:59.360 a note to get somebody on who's like an expert on you know, not 45 00:02:59.560 --> 00:03:02.159 bias to not trying to sell us to do bankruptcy, but maybe somebody who 46 00:03:02.199 --> 00:03:07.000 does. I mean, consolidations loans used to be a big thing, maybe 47 00:03:07.039 --> 00:03:08.000 twenty or thirty years ago, and I don't know if they still are, 48 00:03:08.199 --> 00:03:12.159 but they would say, okay, if you have this credit card, this 49 00:03:12.199 --> 00:03:15.719 credit card, this credit card. We will consolidate those into one lower, 50 00:03:15.759 --> 00:03:21.039 affordable monthly payment. And I heard that they were kind of a scam. 51 00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:27.759 And I also heard that debt for some people can be like a diet. 52 00:03:28.240 --> 00:03:30.879 What do I mean by that? Some people lose their weight on a diet, 53 00:03:30.960 --> 00:03:35.360 get to their goal weight, and then they start eating and gain back 54 00:03:35.400 --> 00:03:39.280 what they lost. People who get out of debt will get out of debt 55 00:03:39.319 --> 00:03:46.680 and immediately start racking back up again with an expensive dinner here, and maybe 56 00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:52.120 a boat over here, and a trip to the Bahamas over here. And 57 00:03:52.199 --> 00:03:54.479 so people get out of debt and then get back in. I will say 58 00:03:54.520 --> 00:04:00.080 I dated a woman many years ago who had gotten a divorce, and she 59 00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:02.639 wanted out of the marriage so bad that she didn't want any support. She 60 00:04:02.680 --> 00:04:05.680 didn't want the furniture, she didn't want the fridge. She wanted to get 61 00:04:05.719 --> 00:04:09.879 the fuck out of the marriage, not because it was dangerous, but just 62 00:04:09.879 --> 00:04:14.000 because they didn't get along. And so she got nothing, no furniture, 63 00:04:14.080 --> 00:04:16.519 nothing, had to buy everything, and then she couldn't afford it, so 64 00:04:16.560 --> 00:04:20.920 she went into bankruptcy. Not because she was bad with spending, but because 65 00:04:20.959 --> 00:04:28.079 she left a marriage and now couldn't afford to have the basic essentials. So 66 00:04:28.120 --> 00:04:32.279 good people can go absolutely go bankrupt. But I think the cliche is somebody 67 00:04:32.279 --> 00:04:36.160 who's like, you know, they got a brand new Mercedes and they just 68 00:04:36.240 --> 00:04:42.199 got back from Veil and now they're going on an Alaska cruise. And I 69 00:04:42.360 --> 00:04:46.680 know somebody like that right now. Not even going to drop a clue as 70 00:04:46.680 --> 00:04:50.120 to who it is. But they're both wonderful people, but they both have 71 00:04:51.480 --> 00:04:56.560 a spending problem. Where one of them said to me not too long ago, 72 00:04:56.959 --> 00:04:58.920 it's like, yeah, we got a big trip coming up, and 73 00:04:58.959 --> 00:05:00.480 we need ten thousand dollars. And I don't know where that's coming from. 74 00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:05.240 And I'm like, are you fucking kidding me? You're saying you need to 75 00:05:05.319 --> 00:05:09.040 take a trip that you don't have any money for, but you're gonna come 76 00:05:09.079 --> 00:05:12.680 up with ten thousand dollars for it. I I was gonna say. I 77 00:05:12.720 --> 00:05:14.720 was like, you don't take a trip, then you don't get you try 78 00:05:14.759 --> 00:05:16.639 to take a trip, absolutely right. But I think there's some people who 79 00:05:16.759 --> 00:05:21.759 say, and it's an interesting philosophy, you could die tomorrow, you could 80 00:05:21.800 --> 00:05:26.800 get hit by a bus tomorrow. So I think in life you've got a 81 00:05:26.839 --> 00:05:30.240 plan from like I could get cancer and be gone in a year, or 82 00:05:31.319 --> 00:05:34.560 I need to save in case I live to be ninety four years old. 83 00:05:35.079 --> 00:05:39.800 So it's just a big conundrum in life, especially you know, you get 84 00:05:39.839 --> 00:05:44.600 older, You're like, do I have ten good years left? Do I 85 00:05:44.680 --> 00:05:46.839 have twenty five good years left? Or do I have three good years left? 86 00:05:46.879 --> 00:05:49.079 You know what I mean? And a lot of people start spending money 87 00:05:49.079 --> 00:05:53.680 when they're like fifty eight because they're like, my dad died when he was 88 00:05:53.720 --> 00:05:58.560 fifty six. I don't want to retire with seventeen hundred or seventeen I don't 89 00:05:58.600 --> 00:06:00.839 know, let's say a million dollars in the bank and never get a chance 90 00:06:00.839 --> 00:06:06.240 to spend it. Yeah, Okay, I was listening to you guys talk 91 00:06:06.279 --> 00:06:11.879 about fashion being non inclusive, and I totally agree. I talked about this 92 00:06:11.959 --> 00:06:15.240 yesterday, I said, the Academy Awards, or maybe I talked about on 93 00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:19.800 Monday. All these people that love fashion and they're wearing a seven hundred dollars 94 00:06:19.800 --> 00:06:24.199 Prada sweater and they got a coach bag and they just had their hair done 95 00:06:24.480 --> 00:06:27.879 for you know, fourteen hundred dollars, and they got like, you know, 96 00:06:29.240 --> 00:06:32.000 seven thousand dollars, shoes on whatever. Are the same people who say 97 00:06:32.040 --> 00:06:35.600 we want to be inclusive. We want to be inclusive. Yet that's kind 98 00:06:35.600 --> 00:06:41.439 of like making a jacket out of one hundred dollar bills and wearing it around 99 00:06:42.199 --> 00:06:46.639 where poorer people can see you, and you are sending a message, even 100 00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:49.680 if it's unintentional. You're not like me, you can't afford. So I 101 00:06:50.279 --> 00:06:58.279 philosophically don't like fashion, because yes it looks nice, and yes you look 102 00:06:58.360 --> 00:07:01.199 cool. But also so if you're going to be a hypocrite and say I 103 00:07:01.199 --> 00:07:09.279 want to be inclusive and include everybody, you are deliberately being non inclusive. 104 00:07:09.360 --> 00:07:12.920 So they go on to say, I totally agree. My book club just 105 00:07:12.959 --> 00:07:15.600 read a memoir by a disabled young woman who talks about this stuff on social 106 00:07:15.639 --> 00:07:21.439 media. She points out that the inclusive campaigns usually just means someone who is 107 00:07:21.519 --> 00:07:28.839 slightly less thin or slightly less white. I started seeing it everywhere after I 108 00:07:28.879 --> 00:07:31.680 read that book. Well, think about this. You go into I'm not 109 00:07:31.680 --> 00:07:35.639 gonna pick on anybody, go into a retailer. The mannequins maybe are no 110 00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:41.560 longer a size zero. They're still there, but now they're a size like 111 00:07:41.560 --> 00:07:45.519 they're a little bit bigger, but they're not big mannequins, you know. 112 00:07:45.879 --> 00:07:49.720 Yeah, I think I've seen a couple places that have some bigger mannequins. 113 00:07:49.800 --> 00:07:53.639 But then how big can you go. Let's say there are four hundred people, 114 00:07:53.879 --> 00:07:58.279 four hundred pound people in the world. Do you have a mannequin modeled 115 00:07:58.319 --> 00:08:01.439 after a four hundred pound body? Well? No, But I will say 116 00:08:03.040 --> 00:08:07.199 that in Target they do a lot better job of being more inclusive. I 117 00:08:07.240 --> 00:08:11.639 see probably more people of color on their posters than I see white people. 118 00:08:11.920 --> 00:08:16.600 I can walk through the clothing aisle, it's a black guy holding a black 119 00:08:16.680 --> 00:08:22.360 kid, and they're dressed so cute and fashionable. But I think that there's 120 00:08:22.399 --> 00:08:26.399 still probably a lot of slightly less white examples. I think that that speaks 121 00:08:26.399 --> 00:08:30.160 a lot of truth. Because I saw Ben Leber, who's like a friend 122 00:08:30.240 --> 00:08:33.320 of the radio station. He goes on a kfeanalot. He just posted something 123 00:08:33.360 --> 00:08:35.159 about being at a store and there was a mannequin who had It was a 124 00:08:35.200 --> 00:08:39.360 guy, and he had a beer belly, and it was a very realistic 125 00:08:39.799 --> 00:08:41.600 version of a guy. Yeah, And I was shocked by that because I 126 00:08:41.639 --> 00:08:45.399 was like, I really haven't seen anything like that, So that shows how 127 00:08:45.799 --> 00:08:50.159 few mannequins I have seen that aren't your stereotypical size zero. I like it. 128 00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:52.399 I think that it's good because I think that I don't know, we 129 00:08:52.399 --> 00:08:56.440 can get into the whole body positivity thing. And I'm not a big champion 130 00:08:56.480 --> 00:09:01.840 for body positivity. I'm a champion for health, and I think that, 131 00:09:01.120 --> 00:09:05.639 you know, it does kind of get ridiculous when somebody who is morbidly obese 132 00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:09.639 will say that this is a healthy model. It's not. And we know 133 00:09:09.759 --> 00:09:13.840 that, I mean, being obese is. We don't need to get into 134 00:09:13.879 --> 00:09:16.000 that. Let's go on to say I was a size four to six growing 135 00:09:16.080 --> 00:09:20.519 up, then a size eight into my twenties. Now, after c sections, 136 00:09:20.600 --> 00:09:24.200 children in a pandemic, I'm a size ten to twelve, and I 137 00:09:24.200 --> 00:09:26.639 feel pretty good about myself. I'm five eight, about one hundred and seventy 138 00:09:26.639 --> 00:09:31.960 pounds. I don't think I'm particularly heavier fat, and statistically, probably half 139 00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:35.000 the women in America are larger than me. However, when I go shopping 140 00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:39.679 in a store like made Well or Loft, I'm often grabbing the largest size 141 00:09:39.799 --> 00:09:43.279 they got out of the bottom of the pile. Sometimes they don't even have 142 00:09:43.279 --> 00:09:46.120 a thirty or thirty one sitting out for pants, I find myself quote frustrated 143 00:09:46.120 --> 00:09:50.519 with my body in the industry. How is it possible that I'm the largest 144 00:09:50.519 --> 00:09:54.159 person they supply clothes to in the store? Why do all the larger size 145 00:09:54.200 --> 00:09:58.159 people what do they do to fine clothes? What do they do in a 146 00:09:58.200 --> 00:10:01.360 world filled with size twenty five to twenty eight people, which translates to being 147 00:10:01.440 --> 00:10:05.320 quite thin if you're tall. When I explain this to my husband, he 148 00:10:05.399 --> 00:10:09.000 is shocked because he's very fit and also thinks I look good. After years 149 00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:13.320 of pointing out to him that those outfits are in the magazine only work if 150 00:10:13.320 --> 00:10:16.799 you have no boobs and therefore no need for a bra or anti bounced support, 151 00:10:18.159 --> 00:10:20.360 then he gets it. Anyway, those are my thoughts about it. 152 00:10:20.399 --> 00:10:24.159 Have a good day, Jenny. I need your thoughts. I mean, 153 00:10:24.200 --> 00:10:26.000 I'm right there with you, girl. I am also digging to the bottom 154 00:10:26.039 --> 00:10:28.759 of the gene pile to find something that fits me, because you know, 155 00:10:28.799 --> 00:10:31.320 he got a big kaboos. But it's not just that I have like I 156 00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:35.559 have thick thighs, and I'm okay admitting that. As a younger girl, 157 00:10:35.639 --> 00:10:37.919 I didn't love that, but I do. And I just love the fact 158 00:10:37.919 --> 00:10:41.200 that you let me get away with saying you got a bigkboze. But it's 159 00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:43.759 not getting away with it. It's just a fact at this point in my 160 00:10:43.799 --> 00:10:48.279 life, Like I have been told since I was in second grade that I 161 00:10:48.320 --> 00:10:50.360 had a bubble butt, which made me cry back then and then and then 162 00:10:50.480 --> 00:10:56.360 luckily, I like having a curacious body was a thing that people strive for 163 00:10:56.559 --> 00:11:01.240 now and so now I love my body. But yeah, I'm right there 164 00:11:01.279 --> 00:11:05.720 with you that it is kind of wild that I also am in pretty good 165 00:11:05.759 --> 00:11:11.039 shape and I like am healthy, and yet I am digging to the bottom 166 00:11:11.080 --> 00:11:13.320 of the pile of jeans at these stores that she's talking about too to get 167 00:11:13.360 --> 00:11:16.360 them. Oh, I know what you mean by digging to the bottom of 168 00:11:16.360 --> 00:11:18.399 the pile, because when I was at my heaviest a couple of years ago, 169 00:11:20.360 --> 00:11:26.039 i'd graduated from thirty fours to thirty six is to thirty eights, and 170 00:11:26.759 --> 00:11:30.240 you know they have thirty eights in waiyte size. But yeah, I know 171 00:11:30.279 --> 00:11:33.480 what you mean by digging to the mine. I would go past the larges 172 00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:37.320 and the mediums in the shirt section and go right for those xls, And 173 00:11:37.360 --> 00:11:39.279 I think I'm probably wearing an XCEL right now, so comfy. See how 174 00:11:39.360 --> 00:11:41.799 roomy room? I was gonna say, look at all the room on that 175 00:11:41.879 --> 00:11:46.639 bad boy, how much room? Joe writes in yesterday we were talking about 176 00:11:46.720 --> 00:11:50.919 ketchup hoarding and how Jenny will go to like I don't know your Burger King 177 00:11:50.960 --> 00:11:54.240 and McDonald's and get extra ketchup packets. I'm going to defend you on your 178 00:11:54.320 --> 00:11:58.360 ketchup hoorting, says Joe. Whenever I door dash, I always add in 179 00:11:58.440 --> 00:12:03.320 any kind of it's in plastic where they offer. I can't tell you how 180 00:12:03.320 --> 00:12:07.519 many times I needed a condiment or spoon and my everything drawer save the day. 181 00:12:07.879 --> 00:12:11.240 Or my wife needed parmesan for a sauce one time and luckily, guess 182 00:12:11.240 --> 00:12:15.840 what I had it saved. My best story is one time a door dasher 183 00:12:15.879 --> 00:12:20.080 texted me have a nice day, and I responded thanks. Then they replied 184 00:12:20.080 --> 00:12:24.200 again, but I was confused as why you needed a straw since you didn't 185 00:12:24.279 --> 00:12:28.480 order a drink, and I said, because it's free. They responded with 186 00:12:28.559 --> 00:12:31.720 an l ol. That is Joe, who's all the way out in Turlock, 187 00:12:31.919 --> 00:12:33.399 California. I was kind of confused. I thought that they were saying 188 00:12:33.440 --> 00:12:37.759 that they're a door Dasher like they do DoorDash At first, so I was 189 00:12:37.799 --> 00:12:39.679 confused. I was like, is he stealing all of their condiments out of 190 00:12:39.679 --> 00:12:43.720 their food when he's delivering their food? But now I get it. Moving 191 00:12:43.720 --> 00:12:48.679 on to the next one. This one I'm going to preread just a little 192 00:12:48.679 --> 00:12:52.919 bit. There In Nashville, I was listening to the show podcast and during 193 00:12:52.960 --> 00:12:56.759 group therapy, I wanted to scream, what is it with parents not thinking 194 00:12:56.799 --> 00:13:01.440 about their child's name past them being a toddler. This came up on group 195 00:13:01.480 --> 00:13:05.960 therapy when somebody said, my wife wants to name our new baby boy Elmer, 196 00:13:05.559 --> 00:13:09.720 and I said no, because Elmer, you're gonna think of Elmer Fudd 197 00:13:11.360 --> 00:13:13.919 and I don't want our kid to be called Elmer Fudd. Mom said, 198 00:13:13.960 --> 00:13:16.639 well, nobody knows who Elmer Fudd is unless they're an adult, so he's 199 00:13:16.679 --> 00:13:20.080 not going to get made fun of. So and I think it is. 200 00:13:20.159 --> 00:13:24.519 Really it's one of those things where a teacher called in and said, Elmer 201 00:13:24.600 --> 00:13:28.039 is an adorable name while they're a toddler, but when he is in fifth 202 00:13:28.039 --> 00:13:33.840 grade, that's when it won't be normal or adorable and he'll start using his 203 00:13:33.879 --> 00:13:37.279 middle name. They go on to say, parents seem to forget that these 204 00:13:37.320 --> 00:13:39.039 people are one day going to be twenty and thirty and looking for a job. 205 00:13:39.159 --> 00:13:41.840 Kids are brutal, for sure when it comes to making fun of names, 206 00:13:43.080 --> 00:13:46.039 but adults are just as bad, even if you like to think they 207 00:13:46.080 --> 00:13:50.360 are not. Besides, not everyone wants to go by a nickname or their 208 00:13:50.399 --> 00:13:52.840 middle name for the rest of their life just because a parent decided something was 209 00:13:54.039 --> 00:13:58.399 cute when they were a toddler. You're not naming a toddler, You're naming 210 00:13:58.440 --> 00:14:03.559 a person. That's a good point. I don't have any kids, but 211 00:14:03.759 --> 00:14:07.320 I have faced many issues with having an uncommon name. I love my name 212 00:14:07.360 --> 00:14:11.159 a lot. I've been made fun of and mispronounced my entire life, even 213 00:14:11.200 --> 00:14:15.240 at twenty eight years old, just my two cents. Also, I got 214 00:14:15.240 --> 00:14:18.279 a Minnesota Goodbye sticker, but never a Dave Ryan sticker. Could I have 215 00:14:18.279 --> 00:14:20.000 one? Please? Yes? And of course you're wondering what her name is. 216 00:14:20.080 --> 00:14:24.639 Yes, I am Sesna. Okay, she's written to the show before. 217 00:14:24.759 --> 00:14:28.039 Yeah, it's spelled almost like the airplane, except with an S instead 218 00:14:28.039 --> 00:14:33.399 of a C. But I'm sure people have said Ceesna or I don't know 219 00:14:33.639 --> 00:14:37.759 what else you would say, but you know, I think most kids would 220 00:14:37.799 --> 00:14:41.639 be like, oh, like the airplane, you know what a sesna is. 221 00:14:41.799 --> 00:14:46.600 I don't. I would have put that together. Yeah, Andrew writes 222 00:14:46.639 --> 00:14:54.480 in and he says, wanted to comment on two things from yesterday's podcast, 223 00:14:54.519 --> 00:14:56.679 and by the way, he says, hey, my favorite radio morning show 224 00:14:56.720 --> 00:15:01.519 family. The first being skinned effects. I actually for two solid years, 225 00:15:01.519 --> 00:15:05.840 my junior and senior year of high school, I had on the tip of 226 00:15:05.879 --> 00:15:09.279 my nose a pimple or cyst or some sort of skin de fact that would 227 00:15:09.279 --> 00:15:13.840 not go away. Tried everything, cleanser, washes, I tried to basically 228 00:15:13.879 --> 00:15:16.440 burn it off with hot water when I showered, to no avail. Finally, 229 00:15:16.440 --> 00:15:20.840 I'm not sure the exact date, but after graduation it was just gone 230 00:15:20.120 --> 00:15:24.240 and it's never come back. I never saw a dermatologist, just dealt with 231 00:15:24.279 --> 00:15:28.399 it, and after some of the assholes I went to school with commenting about 232 00:15:28.399 --> 00:15:33.960 it while attempting the treatments above the shrink flation topic, I wanted to actually 233 00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:37.200 mention that I went to McDonald's a couple of days ago get in breakfast use 234 00:15:37.279 --> 00:15:41.559 their app, so I got a discount from a sandwich. But I noticed 235 00:15:41.559 --> 00:15:45.200 at the drive through that a single hash brown was two twenty nine. They 236 00:15:45.240 --> 00:15:48.720 used to cost a dollars. I know that I won't personally pay that much 237 00:15:48.759 --> 00:15:52.840 for one hash brown if you got multi potatoes like you do with fries, 238 00:15:52.919 --> 00:15:58.200 maybe, but two twenty nine for a single potato seemed outrageous, especially considering 239 00:15:58.240 --> 00:16:02.480 they used to be one of the cheapest items on the menu for breakfast. 240 00:16:02.919 --> 00:16:07.519 All right, Dart Liquors, I want that bitch wet, official staff writer. 241 00:16:07.679 --> 00:16:10.639 That is our buddy Andrew in Ohio. If you don't get to make 242 00:16:10.679 --> 00:16:14.600 that bitch wet reference, Jenny explain that reference. Uh. Drake had asked 243 00:16:14.679 --> 00:16:17.960 us if we like our burger's wet or dry, and I said, I 244 00:16:17.960 --> 00:16:21.960 want that bitch dripping. And then Dave said the I think you said I 245 00:16:22.000 --> 00:16:25.159 want that bitch wet. I don't remember. I thought I want that bitch 246 00:16:25.240 --> 00:16:27.000 dripping. Yeah, so I think you were the one who said the wet, 247 00:16:27.320 --> 00:16:32.559 which just brings to mind pictures of just things and it's like just not 248 00:16:32.960 --> 00:16:37.879 it's a burger. A wet burger to me sounds like you dunked it in 249 00:16:37.000 --> 00:16:41.480 the sink, you know what I mean. And it's like I get wet 250 00:16:41.519 --> 00:16:45.279 and sloppy. I like that in many things in life. But let's move 251 00:16:45.320 --> 00:16:51.559 on. Okay, let's see that one not so much. Here we go. 252 00:16:52.440 --> 00:16:56.360 I have a random thought or topic that it would be on maybe no 253 00:16:56.480 --> 00:17:00.120 phone screen or Friday, but I was thinking I would email you instead. 254 00:17:00.159 --> 00:17:03.240 Disclaimer. I mean no disrespect to those who do this. I just want 255 00:17:03.279 --> 00:17:07.160 some insights. So. I grew up in a small town in southwest Minnesota. 256 00:17:07.400 --> 00:17:11.720 Moved to Shakape two years ago. Since I moved here, I cannot 257 00:17:11.720 --> 00:17:15.160 get over how eighty percent of the cars in front of me pump their breaks 258 00:17:15.599 --> 00:17:18.240 each and every time they're going to stop. I get it if you're on 259 00:17:18.240 --> 00:17:22.240 the freeway in traffic slowing down or coming to a stop and you want to 260 00:17:22.279 --> 00:17:25.079 warn the cars behind you, I get that, But why do they have 261 00:17:25.160 --> 00:17:27.240 to pump their breaks when there's an obvious stop sign, stop light, et 262 00:17:27.319 --> 00:17:30.839 cetera. On the intown streets and roads. You rarely see this done in 263 00:17:30.839 --> 00:17:33.720 small towns, so I think it really sticks out to me. I don't 264 00:17:33.720 --> 00:17:37.400 know, I just don't get it. I've done a little research that says 265 00:17:37.440 --> 00:17:41.680 some breaks are now factory made to blink when applying pressure on the brakes. 266 00:17:41.720 --> 00:17:45.160 That's true, but I know for certain older makes and models do not have 267 00:17:45.279 --> 00:17:48.640 that. There got that rant off my mind. Thought i'd share, and 268 00:17:48.680 --> 00:17:52.160 also looking for some insight into this, maybe so it won't ski, it 269 00:17:52.400 --> 00:17:55.319 won't bug this shit out of me. Have a great day. Thanks for 270 00:17:55.359 --> 00:17:59.079 all the laps and upbeat content you guys give the listeners daily. Thank you, 271 00:17:59.279 --> 00:18:02.480 Kelly. I don't know what you're talking about. I never see that. 272 00:18:02.640 --> 00:18:06.960 No disrespect to you, Kelly, but I never see that. I 273 00:18:06.960 --> 00:18:11.799 will only say you remind me that when I drive with my wife, we 274 00:18:11.920 --> 00:18:15.400 take turns driving. If we're in her car, it doesn't matter. We 275 00:18:15.440 --> 00:18:19.039 take turns. She stops so fucking far behind the car in front of us. 276 00:18:19.200 --> 00:18:25.240 I can't stand it. And it's like, You'll be fifty yards behind 277 00:18:25.279 --> 00:18:26.799 the car and in front of us at the stoplight and she'll stop. I'm 278 00:18:26.799 --> 00:18:30.359 like, pull up, and she's like maybe she'll pull up a foot. 279 00:18:30.880 --> 00:18:34.559 Why are you so far back here? Okay? I was going to ask, 280 00:18:34.640 --> 00:18:37.759 if you know what the rule is of how close you're supposed to be 281 00:18:37.759 --> 00:18:41.200 to it right on your ass right? Well, the rule, at least 282 00:18:41.319 --> 00:18:44.720 what Wisconsin school taught me was that you have to be able to see the 283 00:18:44.759 --> 00:18:48.000 back of their tires. Oh really yeah, so like the full back of 284 00:18:48.000 --> 00:18:52.000 their tires and that's a good enough distance. Okay, fair enough. What 285 00:18:52.039 --> 00:18:56.200 do you know about pumping brakes in a bigger town? No disrespect. I 286 00:18:56.279 --> 00:18:59.720 don't know that I've ever noticed that. I really don't think I have either. 287 00:18:59.839 --> 00:19:02.359 I'm right there with you. I but maybe I just don't pay enough 288 00:19:02.400 --> 00:19:06.000 attention because I'm always zooming past everyone anyway. Right, Yeah, Jenny tries 289 00:19:06.200 --> 00:19:10.119 way too fast all the time. Next one starts off with, please don't 290 00:19:10.119 --> 00:19:11.720 say my name, And I really appreciate that when you say that, because 291 00:19:12.200 --> 00:19:15.720 I definitely want your email on the air and I don't want to slip up. 292 00:19:17.279 --> 00:19:22.759 I listen to Tusday's podcast where you all discussed whether the thumbs up emoji 293 00:19:22.920 --> 00:19:26.480 is rude. For a little backstory, there was a woman on TikTok who 294 00:19:26.519 --> 00:19:30.720 was probably twenty to twenty five years old, and she said, Hey, 295 00:19:30.839 --> 00:19:33.160 everybody over forty, stop using the thumbs up emoji. To my generation, 296 00:19:33.240 --> 00:19:37.799 it's like saying fuck you. And we asked Drake, and Drake said, 297 00:19:37.880 --> 00:19:40.559 yeah, kind of is I said, why, he said, because it's 298 00:19:40.640 --> 00:19:45.240 just such a half asked effort to acknowledge what I showed you. For example, 299 00:19:45.279 --> 00:19:47.400 if I got a new puppy, Hey, I got a new puppy, 300 00:19:47.680 --> 00:19:49.519 thumbs up, it's kind of like fuck you. And I said, 301 00:19:49.799 --> 00:19:55.720 that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. It's just an easy, gracious way 302 00:19:55.720 --> 00:20:00.240 to say I acknowledge you. Uh huh. So oh, she said, 303 00:20:00.240 --> 00:20:03.759 I'm pushing forty, but interact with a lot of twenty somethings through my job. 304 00:20:04.160 --> 00:20:07.920 But I've heard the same thing, which shocked me. Since I used 305 00:20:07.920 --> 00:20:11.759 that emoji and reaction all the time, I didn't really care about whether using 306 00:20:11.799 --> 00:20:15.880 it made me look old, but I definitely can't care if became off as 307 00:20:15.960 --> 00:20:18.119 rude. So I asked a young'in, I like the way they spell that 308 00:20:18.279 --> 00:20:22.920 a young'in about this, and he explained to me, like this, here 309 00:20:22.920 --> 00:20:26.559 we go. Using the thumbs up emoji as an acknowledgment is like responding to 310 00:20:26.599 --> 00:20:32.319 someone with a terse k like the letter K. Imagine you send someone a 311 00:20:32.359 --> 00:20:36.000 text like meet you at Applebee's, or I just read that book you recommend 312 00:20:36.000 --> 00:20:40.960 it and I loved it, and they respond with K. That's basically how 313 00:20:40.960 --> 00:20:45.559 these young kids interpret our thumbs up. I hope that helps, But between 314 00:20:45.640 --> 00:20:48.680 us old folks, and they said they're pushing forty, so they're old. 315 00:20:48.799 --> 00:20:53.200 Yeah, they're so old they're thirty seven or so. You guys can thumb 316 00:20:53.279 --> 00:20:56.039 up me anytime. I'd love a staff writer sticker. If you have a 317 00:20:56.079 --> 00:21:00.559 hedy left, I'll include my address. Blah blah blah, have a dart 318 00:21:00.759 --> 00:21:10.640 licking thumbs up and good time. Anonymous staff writer in Minneapolis. I sometimes 319 00:21:10.720 --> 00:21:12.759 heart emoji, Like if Jenny will send me something and go, hey, 320 00:21:14.319 --> 00:21:17.000 I'll be there in five minutes. I saw you get coffee, I'll give 321 00:21:17.039 --> 00:21:19.440 you a heart emoji. Or if my friend Nate sends me his wordle score, 322 00:21:21.640 --> 00:21:25.119 sometimes I give him a thumbs up and you know he doesn't care. 323 00:21:25.519 --> 00:21:27.960 Or sometimes I give him a heart emoji, which is a little bit over 324 00:21:29.039 --> 00:21:32.640 the top for a word score, but I kind of use him interchangeably. 325 00:21:32.960 --> 00:21:34.400 Yeah, I mean, I use the thumbs up all the time, so 326 00:21:34.799 --> 00:21:37.799 I don't I know, Apparently I am. And I almost sent you one 327 00:21:37.880 --> 00:21:41.319 yesterday because you had texted me. You texted me about your choice for winning 328 00:21:41.319 --> 00:21:44.519 song Wednesday, and I was going to send you the thumbs up, but 329 00:21:44.559 --> 00:21:47.200 then we had just talked yesterday about that, and I was like, maybe 330 00:21:47.240 --> 00:21:51.480 I shouldn't say that, and so I like actually set a conversation instead. 331 00:21:51.720 --> 00:21:56.920 But I'm never gonna be offended by the thumbs up emoji. Ye. Next 332 00:21:56.920 --> 00:22:00.440 one is one that I kind of preread and it doesn't really go with what 333 00:22:00.519 --> 00:22:04.680 we're doing here. So I might read it on the radio, but now 334 00:22:04.720 --> 00:22:07.319 that I've talked about it, let's just read it here. Love the show, 335 00:22:07.559 --> 00:22:11.240 Love it like I talk about y'all, like you are my friends. 336 00:22:11.400 --> 00:22:15.880 Thank you. However, I will not be listening to your show on iHeart 337 00:22:17.000 --> 00:22:22.200 at least until after the presidential election, if ever. Actually I've deleted the 338 00:22:22.240 --> 00:22:26.160 app on my phone so I don't have to subject myself to ads not once, 339 00:22:26.240 --> 00:22:30.920 not twice, but three times. When iHeart added its own commercials, 340 00:22:30.240 --> 00:22:36.119 which is already super frustrating, it was political and this was only in one 341 00:22:36.160 --> 00:22:38.160 and a half hours of listening. It doesn't matter what candidate or party I'm 342 00:22:38.200 --> 00:22:41.920 voting for. Those ads are way too early. I do not want to 343 00:22:41.920 --> 00:22:48.279 hear political advertisements seven months before the election. I don't blame you a bit. 344 00:22:48.519 --> 00:22:52.279 Again, it goes back to I think there are people who don't care 345 00:22:52.720 --> 00:22:57.920 about your experience with the iHeart app. We deeply care and it's frustrating to 346 00:22:59.000 --> 00:23:03.160 us because we make our living and keep our job security by whether you have 347 00:23:03.319 --> 00:23:07.599 a good experience listening and up the food chain. Somewhere is somebody going, 348 00:23:07.640 --> 00:23:10.720 well, it's a cash grab. We can make money by selling you know 349 00:23:11.920 --> 00:23:17.319 Joe Johnson political ads, So let's do it. And I get that because 350 00:23:17.319 --> 00:23:19.240 we are a business and we're in business to make money. But at the 351 00:23:19.279 --> 00:23:25.279 same time, if somebody can. Let's say you have a restaurant and a 352 00:23:25.359 --> 00:23:30.559 guy says, I want to bring a really cool fart machine into your restaurant. 353 00:23:30.799 --> 00:23:33.920 Now I'm going to pay you seven thousand dollars a month, and this 354 00:23:34.039 --> 00:23:37.920 fart machine over here is going to sit in the corner and rip loud farts 355 00:23:37.960 --> 00:23:42.559 and smell up the restaurant. You're looking at seven thousand dollars and you're going, 356 00:23:42.839 --> 00:23:47.720 god, I need seven thousand dollars. But then the people who come 357 00:23:47.759 --> 00:23:52.319 in have got to deal with the experience of the fart machine. Yes, 358 00:23:52.400 --> 00:23:56.119 this is a great analogy, and the restaurant of your best analogies you've done 359 00:23:56.119 --> 00:24:00.240 in a while, thank you. And therefore, the people who are eating 360 00:24:00.319 --> 00:24:04.440 and they order a grilled cheese or a blt they got to put up with 361 00:24:04.480 --> 00:24:10.000 a fucking fart machine in the corner, and you're happy to do it because 362 00:24:10.039 --> 00:24:12.599 it doesn't affect you. You don't eat at your own restaurant. Uh, 363 00:24:14.400 --> 00:24:17.880 But they have to smell the farts from the fart machine while they're trying to 364 00:24:17.880 --> 00:24:22.240 have their BLT. That's what iHeart is doing. Holy shit. I hope 365 00:24:22.240 --> 00:24:25.799 I don't get in trouble for this one. But that's what I mean. 366 00:24:25.799 --> 00:24:29.160 And I'm exaggerating a lot, but that's what I mean. It's like I 367 00:24:29.240 --> 00:24:33.039 care about the experience, and there's some people whose job is to not care 368 00:24:33.079 --> 00:24:37.599 about the experience, but to care about the revenue. Yep. I mean, 369 00:24:37.079 --> 00:24:40.400 get yourself in deep with me, Jenny. If I'm gonna get fired, 370 00:24:40.440 --> 00:24:42.279 you're gonna get fired with me. I mean, I now, quiet 371 00:24:42.279 --> 00:24:48.279 shoe. I just know. I know that my little sister was listening to 372 00:24:48.359 --> 00:24:51.759 Mine and Folence podcast the other day and there was an advertisement for a car 373 00:24:51.799 --> 00:24:56.319 dealership near my hometown in Wisconsin on Mine and Founce podcast, which seems very 374 00:24:56.440 --> 00:25:03.000 random that they just placed a Whisky Johnson dealership on our podcast. So I 375 00:25:03.039 --> 00:25:07.880 just feel like advertisers are promised certain amounts of tag on to podcasts that do 376 00:25:08.000 --> 00:25:11.839 well in our company, and it doesn't make sense a lot of times, 377 00:25:12.160 --> 00:25:17.720 like you might think that you'd hear political ads on like a news talk station 378 00:25:18.000 --> 00:25:22.480 podcast or something not on our morning show stuff. Yeah, but I do 379 00:25:22.559 --> 00:25:26.680 think that people are just pro advertisers are promised so much exposure through our podcasting 380 00:25:26.799 --> 00:25:30.400 and they just shoot them out in the dark and they get placed somewhere. 381 00:25:30.480 --> 00:25:33.200 I think that's true. And I think that The Minnesota Goodbye is still one 382 00:25:33.240 --> 00:25:37.640 of the company's top podcasts, so that's probably why you hear some of these 383 00:25:37.640 --> 00:25:40.400 weird and I know the Morning Show is one of the company's top podcasts too. 384 00:25:40.880 --> 00:25:41.559 They go on to say, and I'll wrap this up because we're run 385 00:25:41.599 --> 00:25:45.119 a little bit long on a mail carrier already have to deal with ads that 386 00:25:45.119 --> 00:25:48.279 are sent out. I don't have the option of listening over the airwaves, 387 00:25:48.319 --> 00:25:51.640 so I must rely on iHeart not anymore. Wow, I'm sorry to hear 388 00:25:51.680 --> 00:25:53.839 you go. Yeah, I'll try to catch up on the reruns and podcasts 389 00:25:53.839 --> 00:25:56.640 if I can. I do listen to other podcasts, so we'll see if 390 00:25:56.680 --> 00:26:02.119 you make the cut. This has nothing to do with your show, obviously, 391 00:26:02.240 --> 00:26:06.119 absolutely nothing. It's the political ads on iHeart that are making me leave. 392 00:26:06.440 --> 00:26:08.440 If you can in any way make these go away, thank you, 393 00:26:08.519 --> 00:26:15.079 and I'll continue to listen. Otherwise, I guess this is goodbye. And 394 00:26:15.119 --> 00:26:22.599 she did copy the boss and Bob Pittman, Oh wow, the CEO of 395 00:26:22.680 --> 00:26:29.759 our company. And if Bob Pittman listens to this podcast and compares those to 396 00:26:29.880 --> 00:26:33.799 the fart Machine, A, it's been nice knowing you. Yeah, it's 397 00:26:33.839 --> 00:26:36.920 been nice working with you. I'm going to get the phone call that says, 398 00:26:37.000 --> 00:26:40.880 Dave, can you come in so we can fire you say the firing 399 00:26:40.960 --> 00:26:42.279 part. They just say, can you come in? But bring all your 400 00:26:42.319 --> 00:26:47.480 stuff? Yeah? And that is it for the Minnesota Goodbye. This was 401 00:26:47.519 --> 00:26:49.440 a fun one. Are you gonna call it fart Machine? I was thinking 402 00:26:49.440 --> 00:26:52.920 about that. Yeah, I'll do that. Okay, thanks for being here 403 00:26:52.920 --> 00:26:57.400 for the Minnesota Goodbye. Let us know your feedback on anything, whether it's 404 00:26:57.440 --> 00:27:03.359 fashion, the fart Machine, analogies, Bob Pittman. If you want to 405 00:27:03.359 --> 00:27:04.880 talk about Bob Pittman, No, I'm kidding, We're not going to do 406 00:27:04.920 --> 00:27:07.920 that. Bob Pittman's a genius, he really is. He invented MTV, 407 00:27:08.480 --> 00:27:17.440 so pretty impressive. Send me your emails to Ryan Show at KDWB dot com, 408 00:27:17.480 --> 00:27:18.119 have a great day.
