WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:04.120 Here is today's Minnesota Goodbye, good morning, good afternoon, good evening, 2 00:00:04.120 --> 00:00:06.280 good middle of the night, happy weekend. Whenever you listen. The great 3 00:00:06.320 --> 00:00:10.599 thing about the Minnesota Goodbye is you can listen in the time, Jenny, 4 00:00:11.119 --> 00:00:14.599 I want to run something by you. Things that are not easy to open 5 00:00:14.640 --> 00:00:18.079 that say they are. For example, I think probably one of the worst 6 00:00:18.120 --> 00:00:21.839 offenders is Kraft Mac and Cheese in the box because it's like it's got the 7 00:00:21.839 --> 00:00:25.239 easy open tab on the side and then you're supposed to push your thumb in 8 00:00:25.280 --> 00:00:29.760 and then pull the top back. I never used that tab. How do 9 00:00:29.800 --> 00:00:32.479 you open up a craft box of mac and cheese. Let's just go through 10 00:00:32.479 --> 00:00:35.679 the top one with that the whole top layer where it's like one on top 11 00:00:35.719 --> 00:00:40.399 of another. Yeah you pull that open and yeah yeah. I mean they 12 00:00:40.439 --> 00:00:42.439 want to have a way for you to open it, but it doesn't work. 13 00:00:42.479 --> 00:00:46.600 I think a lot of cereals you kind of mangle the lid of the 14 00:00:46.600 --> 00:00:49.719 box when you open it. I don't know, but my favorite one is 15 00:00:49.719 --> 00:00:53.280 one right now that I put on my Instagram on a reel is the Lando 16 00:00:53.399 --> 00:00:58.320 Lakes Half and Half, because it is the classic box that says easy to 17 00:00:58.399 --> 00:01:03.399 open and then it says open this tab, put your thumb under here, 18 00:01:03.600 --> 00:01:07.239 lift this ease, and I've done it probably half a dozen times. I 19 00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:11.200 buy that item fairly frequently, and you cannot. You cannot. I would 20 00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:17.120 love to see the engineer who designed this and watch them try to open this 21 00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:21.359 themselves and prove it doesn't work. If you want to see it, it's 22 00:01:21.359 --> 00:01:25.319 on my Instagram, Dave Ryan and katwd I've actually seen that package before. 23 00:01:25.359 --> 00:01:27.280 I'm looking at it right now. But yeah, you don't buy a lot 24 00:01:27.319 --> 00:01:32.000 of coffee creamers then no. I usually do like the whole bottle jug ones 25 00:01:32.040 --> 00:01:34.480 that you can get if I have creamers. So but yeah, it does 26 00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:38.120 look as I'm watching it, it looks like it should be easy to open. 27 00:01:38.480 --> 00:01:41.319 It doesn't open. I mean I've tried it, and I've made a 28 00:01:41.400 --> 00:01:46.079 sincere effort to open this according to the instructions, and you're using logic and 29 00:01:46.159 --> 00:01:51.000 it just it just doesn't. So Land of Lakes love you, love your 30 00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:55.040 product, but whoever designed that box, you need to cancel the contract with 31 00:01:55.079 --> 00:01:59.560 that motherfucker and seriously find somebody else who's bet called down to the U of 32 00:01:59.719 --> 00:02:05.439 M and find an engineering student who can design a better box on the Lando 33 00:02:05.519 --> 00:02:08.719 Lakes half and half? Moving on? You ready to move on? Let's 34 00:02:08.800 --> 00:02:15.360 go all right? Fine? This one is from Laura and does she We 35 00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:17.400 were talking about this a few weeks ago. Is it better to brush your 36 00:02:17.439 --> 00:02:24.080 teeth before you eat breakfast or after you eat breakfast? I brush my teeth 37 00:02:24.120 --> 00:02:27.520 before I eat breakfast. I brush one of the first things in the morning. 38 00:02:28.479 --> 00:02:30.879 But what about you, Jenny Windy brush your te right away when I 39 00:02:30.960 --> 00:02:34.000 get out. But I also don't eat for the first time every day, 40 00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:37.639 at least during the week till like ten am ten thirty. So you and 41 00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:38.840 I don't. We get stuff to do, we don't eat. Jenny gets 42 00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:44.039 her yogurt and then I get whatever's left over from the night before, and 43 00:02:44.560 --> 00:02:46.919 that's when we eat around ten o'clock. So she goes on to say, 44 00:02:49.439 --> 00:02:53.599 this is actual information I learned later in life. And I'm not sure if 45 00:02:53.639 --> 00:02:57.039 that's because the direction has changed or if I wasn't asking the right people. 46 00:02:57.039 --> 00:03:00.800 But Google says it better than I could. Basically, there are two main 47 00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:07.560 reasons why you should brush before you eat versus after breakfast. Number one, 48 00:03:07.639 --> 00:03:10.639 when you sleep, your mouth grows bacteria, and you want to get that 49 00:03:10.680 --> 00:03:15.240 stuff off, so the food doesn't feed it in, the feed in the 50 00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:17.199 bacteria more so, you want to get rid of the bacteria in your mouth, 51 00:03:17.520 --> 00:03:23.520 then eat breakfast. Okay. Also, when you eat sugar acidic stuff 52 00:03:23.560 --> 00:03:28.080 coffee, your enamel is weak and that is the worst time to brush because 53 00:03:28.120 --> 00:03:31.479 then you scratch it up more easily and that damage can be irreversible. Some 54 00:03:31.520 --> 00:03:35.599 they say this applies no matter what food you eat, but the wait time 55 00:03:35.680 --> 00:03:38.120 is shorter or longer based on the food. So basically, thank you, 56 00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:43.439 Laura, brush your teeth before you eat breakfast. Yes, okay, all 57 00:03:43.520 --> 00:03:46.719 right, that's fine. Thank you Laura for doing the research on that one. 58 00:03:46.159 --> 00:03:51.439 The next one is from This is kind of Funny. She is her 59 00:03:51.520 --> 00:03:55.560 name is Ashley, and she writes in not about people leaving dog poop, 60 00:03:55.599 --> 00:04:00.039 but about leaving something else. She says, Dave, I know, I 61 00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:02.159 know that people not cleaning up after their dog is a big, big pet 62 00:04:02.199 --> 00:04:04.960 peeve of yours. So I wanted to get your take on cleaning up after 63 00:04:05.400 --> 00:04:10.400 horses. After a long day at work, I decided, instead of cooking, 64 00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:13.319 I'm gonna stop at q Doba to pick up dinner. As I pull 65 00:04:13.319 --> 00:04:15.240 into the parking lot, I see two horses tied to a tree with two 66 00:04:15.279 --> 00:04:19.000 teens putting their take out into the saddle bags. I thought, well, 67 00:04:19.079 --> 00:04:23.519 that's interesting. They wanted to ride their horses into town, but to each 68 00:04:23.600 --> 00:04:26.360 their own. By the time I was walking out of que Dob but the 69 00:04:26.399 --> 00:04:30.600 horses were gone. But right on the handicap accessible section of the sidewalk a 70 00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:35.759 pile of horseshit. How rude. I've attached picture for proof. I think 71 00:04:35.800 --> 00:04:39.920 it's a sign. You need to design an XXL clip a doo for horses. 72 00:04:40.079 --> 00:04:44.600 All right, says Ashley, there is a picture. I'm gonna click 73 00:04:44.639 --> 00:04:47.120 it and zoom in on it as you live in Montana or something. Well, 74 00:04:47.160 --> 00:04:50.160 that's what I wanted to do. She you know it. It is 75 00:04:50.199 --> 00:04:55.879 in a city, And yeah, there's a pile of horseshit about the size 76 00:04:55.879 --> 00:05:00.680 of a shoe box or so right there, kind of on the sidewalk where 77 00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:03.319 you would roll up the ramp, you know, from the parking lot whatever. 78 00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:08.759 But it is clearly horseshit. Obviously, out in the country you don't 79 00:05:08.759 --> 00:05:11.319 have to clean that up. But if they clean it up in a parade, 80 00:05:11.560 --> 00:05:14.720 you need to clean it up from the street. I don't think they 81 00:05:14.759 --> 00:05:17.800 probably had a method to clean it up. I think that horseshit is different 82 00:05:17.800 --> 00:05:21.319 from dog shit, but at the same time, it's still shit and it 83 00:05:21.360 --> 00:05:26.600 still needs to be cleaned up. So it's interesting that they rode their horses 84 00:05:26.639 --> 00:05:30.920 into the city. Maybe they live on the very edge of town. Jenny, 85 00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:32.319 your thoughts on cleaning up horseshit. I mean I would say, yeah, 86 00:05:32.360 --> 00:05:34.519 you got to clean that up if it's in the middle of the parking 87 00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:38.240 lot and in the middle of a city. I just feel like that's a 88 00:05:38.360 --> 00:05:42.000 proper way to do it. I mean, like, oh right, I 89 00:05:42.079 --> 00:05:45.560 guess I don't know how. You got to be a bit oh my gosh, 90 00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:48.319 bring them pigle the like, I don't know, grocery store bag instead 91 00:05:48.360 --> 00:05:50.759 of here a little pool bags. You would think so, but I mean, 92 00:05:50.759 --> 00:05:54.000 like like a shovel. I mean, if if you've got a horse, 93 00:05:54.680 --> 00:05:58.439 you do have the same responsibility. If you're riding into the city and 94 00:05:58.480 --> 00:06:00.399 you're gonna leave it on a sidewalk, yeah, then you got to bring 95 00:06:00.399 --> 00:06:03.959 a little bag, just like a dog poop bag with a little shovel and 96 00:06:04.040 --> 00:06:09.879 scrape it up. I'm gonna bet that somebody right now who rides a horse 97 00:06:10.600 --> 00:06:14.399 owns horses would have an answer for us. Most of the time you do 98 00:06:14.480 --> 00:06:19.720 not see a horse outside of ke Dooba and so it doesn't happen very often. 99 00:06:19.759 --> 00:06:24.600 But if you own horses or ride horses, let us know, do 100 00:06:24.720 --> 00:06:30.079 you carry a poop bag and a little scooper inside your saddle bags? Next 101 00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:34.120 one, Dave and Jenny responding to a couple of topics that came up over 102 00:06:34.160 --> 00:06:38.279 the last couple of weeks. Let's see what we've got. I think it 103 00:06:38.319 --> 00:06:42.079 was last week Dave mentioned the show American Pickers and he heard it was staged. 104 00:06:43.000 --> 00:06:46.720 Well, American Pickers came to our tiny Wisconsin town last summer and visited 105 00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:50.199 the railroad roads museum we have here. The owner said it took three years 106 00:06:50.279 --> 00:06:53.600 to get the show to come. I don't believe any part of it was 107 00:06:53.639 --> 00:06:56.639 staged from what I've heard from the owners. The episode came out a few 108 00:06:56.639 --> 00:07:00.319 weeks ago, and I believe you can stream it on Hulu. Also, 109 00:07:00.480 --> 00:07:02.040 my kids and I got to meet Mike from American Pickers and he was so 110 00:07:02.120 --> 00:07:06.600 nice. It was a very cool experience for our small town. Also, 111 00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:13.560 Jenny, this is for you the situation where your mom would not let you 112 00:07:13.720 --> 00:07:17.079 get a dog. I've come to side with Jenny's mom here. I'm a 113 00:07:17.120 --> 00:07:21.639 working mom with three young kids, and we have dogs from before we had 114 00:07:21.720 --> 00:07:26.800 kids. Sadly, my time and energy and patience is all taken up by 115 00:07:26.800 --> 00:07:30.319 my kids, and the dogs just add to the exhaustion when you think about 116 00:07:30.360 --> 00:07:34.160 all the things parents already have to juggle. Adding in extra duties like duties 117 00:07:34.160 --> 00:07:38.399 like cleaning up dog hair, buying pet food every month, cleaning up dog 118 00:07:38.439 --> 00:07:42.120 poop and vomit, and remembering pet vet visits, It's just so hard. 119 00:07:42.199 --> 00:07:45.920 My oldest child can now let the dogs outside and give them water, but 120 00:07:45.959 --> 00:07:50.439 the rest still falls on me and my spouse. So I sympathize with your 121 00:07:50.439 --> 00:07:54.199 mom, Jenny. And when our current pups pass away, we won't be 122 00:07:54.279 --> 00:07:58.800 getting another one either. I'm glad she's enjoying being a dog grandma now, 123 00:07:58.839 --> 00:08:01.360 though I've been told by me many people that being a grandparent in general is 124 00:08:01.399 --> 00:08:05.720 often more enjoyable than being the actual parent, due to less responsibility and more 125 00:08:05.800 --> 00:08:11.800 room to just have fun. Have a great weekend from Allie. Any response 126 00:08:11.920 --> 00:08:13.439 Jenny, Yeah, I mean I see where she's coming from, for sure, 127 00:08:13.480 --> 00:08:16.160 but that doesn't mean I wasn't still sad every Christmas morning thinking that there 128 00:08:16.199 --> 00:08:18.279 was gonna be a puppy under the tree, and I was like excited, 129 00:08:18.279 --> 00:08:20.759 like maybe this will be the year, even though I knew it never would 130 00:08:20.759 --> 00:08:24.600 be. But I mean, I of course I get where she's coming from. 131 00:08:24.720 --> 00:08:28.000 Yes, we were three young kids. We're all I think the age 132 00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:31.000 range is like six years between the three of us, so we weren't like 133 00:08:31.000 --> 00:08:35.240 too far apart in age, and so I get it it would have been 134 00:08:35.279 --> 00:08:39.000 even more responsibility. But I really think that my mom just like didn't think 135 00:08:39.039 --> 00:08:41.480 she was a dog person back then, more so than it was the responsibility 136 00:08:41.519 --> 00:08:45.919 factor. She just like always said she didn't really like dogs that much, 137 00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:48.799 and now she loves them. So I feel like something changed a little bit 138 00:08:48.799 --> 00:08:50.759 in her. But I'm sure it had to do with the responsibility aspect as 139 00:08:50.799 --> 00:08:54.600 well. Oh no, absolutely, because you know, let's face it, 140 00:08:54.639 --> 00:08:56.799 you buy a kid a dog, and who is going to do the majority 141 00:08:56.840 --> 00:09:01.600 of you know, taken into that, the kid will say i'm gonna help, 142 00:09:01.639 --> 00:09:03.919 I'm gonna help, but a lot of the time they don't help, 143 00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:07.000 and they're busy doing homework or something. So mom or dad is like, 144 00:09:07.000 --> 00:09:09.039 oh, Okay, fine, I'll clean up the dog poop. It's like 145 00:09:09.080 --> 00:09:11.320 buying a kid a hamster. I just think I was talking to yesterday on 146 00:09:11.320 --> 00:09:16.080 the show about Alison wanted a hamster or a gerbil or a white rat or 147 00:09:16.120 --> 00:09:18.519 something when she was a kid, and I said no because I knew I'd 148 00:09:18.519 --> 00:09:22.080 do be the one taking care of it. I wish I had gotten it 149 00:09:22.120 --> 00:09:24.559 for because she never had a little pet like that. She had a cat, 150 00:09:24.919 --> 00:09:28.919 and we had Josie, and we had Rex and Gracie, but she 151 00:09:28.960 --> 00:09:31.919 never had her own little pet. Huh. We did have a hamsters, 152 00:09:33.159 --> 00:09:35.879 and I've told the story before and it was a nightmare because we got to 153 00:09:37.679 --> 00:09:39.720 it was a male and a female. They started pro creating. Yeah, 154 00:09:39.799 --> 00:09:43.480 eventually we had like fifty hamsters and we had to take them to the pet 155 00:09:43.480 --> 00:09:48.000 store because the parents wouldn't even let us like get into the what it's it 156 00:09:48.039 --> 00:09:52.120 called, not turanium? What do they stay in? Just like a cage. 157 00:09:52.519 --> 00:09:54.240 They wouldn't let us in there to do anything because the parents were like 158 00:09:54.279 --> 00:09:58.720 protecting the kids, they and all that stuff. So gotcha, Wow, 159 00:09:58.720 --> 00:10:01.720 So you had to give all your hamsters? Yeah, every one of them. 160 00:10:01.799 --> 00:10:03.279 Yeah, we gave them all away to the pet store. They like. 161 00:10:03.399 --> 00:10:07.480 Oh, and then they made a profit off of them, so good 162 00:10:07.519 --> 00:10:09.519 for them. But yeah, good, you know what they found the little 163 00:10:09.519 --> 00:10:13.080 hamster homes. Yeah, I had white mice when I was a kid, 164 00:10:13.240 --> 00:10:18.159 and my dad built a big custom cage and it had a wheel in it. 165 00:10:18.240 --> 00:10:22.159 That the wheel, he built a little device. My dad was so 166 00:10:22.240 --> 00:10:26.559 brilliant that way. He built a little device out of an old analog gas 167 00:10:26.639 --> 00:10:30.840 meter that would show how many times and how many miles the mouse ran in 168 00:10:30.960 --> 00:10:33.679 this wheel. Wow, that's intense. I mean seriously, the wheel was 169 00:10:33.720 --> 00:10:37.799 attached to this old gas meter, and he figured out how many revolutions made 170 00:10:37.840 --> 00:10:41.840 a mile. And it was like I never figured out because you had to 171 00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:46.120 do a computation on you know whatever. But this fucking mice, they would 172 00:10:46.200 --> 00:10:50.879 run in the wheel all night because they're more nocturnal. So here's this mouse 173 00:10:50.039 --> 00:10:56.759 in my bedroom while I'm trying to sleep. Oh, just having a good 174 00:10:56.759 --> 00:11:01.840 old time running in that fucking wheel. Jenny, and I remember I'd wake 175 00:11:01.960 --> 00:11:05.200 up and I'd pound on the cage and he would stop for a couple of 176 00:11:05.200 --> 00:11:09.080 minutes. And I think finally I disabled the wheel by taking one of the 177 00:11:09.120 --> 00:11:13.600 axles and pulling it out of its little hole and laying it down because yeah, 178 00:11:15.080 --> 00:11:18.639 you're like, I need to sleep. Was your dad upset that you 179 00:11:18.759 --> 00:11:20.279 messed with his contraption? You know, I don't. I don't think so. 180 00:11:22.720 --> 00:11:24.559 I don't think so. I think there was a part of my dad 181 00:11:24.559 --> 00:11:26.519 that gave up on me in a lot of way, not gave up on 182 00:11:26.600 --> 00:11:31.039 me. Yeah, my dad was a great dad, and I think was 183 00:11:31.039 --> 00:11:35.519 thinking yesterday he had so much to do with my work ethic. But I 184 00:11:35.519 --> 00:11:41.200 think my dad was just so frustrated with trying to control me from being a 185 00:11:41.200 --> 00:11:45.360 little asshole that I think he gave up on trying to control all of my 186 00:11:45.480 --> 00:11:50.000 little asshole moves. You know, It's like you pick your battles, dad, 187 00:11:50.039 --> 00:11:52.759 so he picked the battles whatever. But yeah, we were talking yesterday 188 00:11:54.360 --> 00:11:58.320 about work ethic, and you and I both know certain people that did not 189 00:11:58.480 --> 00:12:01.399 have a work ethic. And then you and I, Jenny, we have 190 00:12:01.480 --> 00:12:05.799 a very strong work ethic. And I think you know, Jenny had a 191 00:12:05.799 --> 00:12:09.480 paper route when she was like eight years old. I grew up on a 192 00:12:09.559 --> 00:12:13.559 chicken farm. There was always always work to do, and so when I 193 00:12:13.600 --> 00:12:18.360 got into radio, I was used to working hard, but this was fun 194 00:12:18.440 --> 00:12:20.960 work. So you and I never had a work ethic problem. But you 195 00:12:22.000 --> 00:12:26.240 and I have known some people that really they didn't like to work. Yeah, 196 00:12:26.279 --> 00:12:28.679 they definitely didn't. We could not get work out of them. So, 197 00:12:30.039 --> 00:12:33.679 yeah, one of my very best friends from home, she just like 198 00:12:33.840 --> 00:12:37.159 didn't have a work ethic at all. She went to so many different colleges 199 00:12:37.200 --> 00:12:39.120 trying to find the right thing, and school work wasn't her thing, and 200 00:12:39.159 --> 00:12:43.080 then she like tried to get jobs and then like jobs weren't working out. 201 00:12:43.120 --> 00:12:45.720 So now she kind of works like lots of just like little part time jobs 202 00:12:45.720 --> 00:12:48.919 and it works for her now. But like she was really trying to like 203 00:12:48.960 --> 00:12:50.960 fit this mold of society and it just didn't work for her. And she 204 00:12:52.039 --> 00:12:52.879 finally was like, you know what, I'm going to be a server part 205 00:12:52.919 --> 00:12:56.679 time and I'm going to do this part time and that's like how it works 206 00:12:56.679 --> 00:12:58.360 for me. And she figured it out eventually. But yeah, I was 207 00:12:58.399 --> 00:13:01.000 a struggle for her for a while. And you think a lot of it 208 00:13:01.039 --> 00:13:05.039 just had to do with a lack of work ethic and maybe she didn't have 209 00:13:05.039 --> 00:13:07.519 to work when she was a kid. Yeah, she'd I'm trying to remember, 210 00:13:07.600 --> 00:13:09.879 Yeah, she didn't have to work as a kid, but I yeah, 211 00:13:09.879 --> 00:13:13.639 she didn't have the work ethic at all. That's so funny. I 212 00:13:13.679 --> 00:13:18.480 mean I totally get that. You know, Allison's got a very strong work 213 00:13:18.519 --> 00:13:22.559 ethic that was self imposed, and she would come home, have a snack 214 00:13:22.559 --> 00:13:26.960 and do her homework until it was done. Carson was a little lax and 215 00:13:28.039 --> 00:13:33.120 he would forget to turn into assignments and he was in charge of boy scout, 216 00:13:33.240 --> 00:13:35.120 you know, different things, and he was the senior patrol leader and 217 00:13:35.200 --> 00:13:39.960 he just didn't really work that hard. And I really worried about Carson, 218 00:13:41.080 --> 00:13:43.919 Like, you know, when you get into the real world, you got 219 00:13:43.960 --> 00:13:46.799 to get up on time, and you got to do what your boss says 220 00:13:46.519 --> 00:13:48.639 now. And if you can't do it now, you've got to tell your 221 00:13:48.639 --> 00:13:52.600 boss I can't do it now, but I'll do it at three o'clock or 222 00:13:52.600 --> 00:13:56.399 whatever. But he is shaped up. He works so hard, I think 223 00:13:56.440 --> 00:14:00.360 because he realizes that if he wants to have the life that he once in 224 00:14:00.399 --> 00:14:05.000 the music industry, he's got to be a hard worker. So yeah, 225 00:14:05.039 --> 00:14:09.440 next one from Hannah on Minnesota. Goodbye. Hey guys, do you know 226 00:14:09.480 --> 00:14:11.840 if flight attendants can help carry bags? Me? And my five year old 227 00:14:11.840 --> 00:14:15.399 were on our way back from Oregon for my brother's wedding. I had two 228 00:14:15.440 --> 00:14:18.399 bags and he had two bags that he was a champ at carrying through the 229 00:14:18.440 --> 00:14:24.960 airport way there flawless. On the way back, we got one flight just 230 00:14:24.039 --> 00:14:28.200 about to board our connecting flight home, but they canceled it because that plane 231 00:14:28.200 --> 00:14:31.320 had been struck by lightning. Our only flight home was two more flights, 232 00:14:31.360 --> 00:14:35.919 one at nine thirty PM to Vegas and then one from Vegas to Minnesota at 233 00:14:35.960 --> 00:14:39.279 twelve thirty or so in the morning. My son slept the whole time on 234 00:14:39.320 --> 00:14:43.159 the flight and in the airport waiting to get on our red high. He 235 00:14:43.279 --> 00:14:46.679 was sleeping when we were boarding, so I was trying to carry him and 236 00:14:46.720 --> 00:14:52.120 our four bags by myself. The flight attendants just looked at me and smiled 237 00:14:52.159 --> 00:14:56.480 while I struggled, and no one offered to help. My husband said later, 238 00:14:56.679 --> 00:14:58.600 like you would have let somebody else carry our kid. No, I 239 00:14:58.639 --> 00:15:01.639 would have hand handed my child to a rando. Oh. No, I 240 00:15:01.679 --> 00:15:05.320 would not have handed my child to a rando. Just wondering if that's the 241 00:15:05.360 --> 00:15:09.320 standard that they can't help. I had to wake my son and make him 242 00:15:09.360 --> 00:15:13.759 walk groggly wait to our seat anyway, I basically never want to fly again. 243 00:15:13.840 --> 00:15:16.759 But my son thought it was the coolest thing to sleep all night on 244 00:15:16.799 --> 00:15:22.240 an airplane. Laugh Emoji memories were made and Mama was traumatized. Hannah, 245 00:15:22.240 --> 00:15:24.720 I don't think that they are allowed to help, don't you think, Jenny. 246 00:15:24.840 --> 00:15:28.159 I kind of think that too. I've seen them like adjust things every 247 00:15:28.159 --> 00:15:31.600 once in a while when someone else is like struggling a ton, but never 248 00:15:31.759 --> 00:15:35.879 like help pick up. And I do think that that's just like not part 249 00:15:35.879 --> 00:15:39.399 of their job. I think it's part of an insurance regulation, like if 250 00:15:39.399 --> 00:15:43.879 you hurt yourself lifting a passenger's bag, we do not compensate you for that. 251 00:15:45.000 --> 00:15:48.039 We don't cover that. So I think that they are told you cannot 252 00:15:48.039 --> 00:15:52.039 help, because remember about three or four months ago, I injured my arm 253 00:15:52.360 --> 00:15:56.480 trying to climb the rope, remember that, yep, And I injured my 254 00:15:56.559 --> 00:15:58.919 right arm so badly I couldn't even lift it up to brush my teeth, 255 00:16:00.480 --> 00:16:03.879 and so I couldn't lift my suitcase into the overhead bin. And I said 256 00:16:03.879 --> 00:16:06.919 can you help me with this to one of the flight attendants, and they 257 00:16:06.919 --> 00:16:10.159 said, no, I really can't help you. But I can help adjust 258 00:16:10.200 --> 00:16:11.840 it. And I'm like, oh shit, So they did not, and 259 00:16:11.879 --> 00:16:17.399 I get it. It's like they are told not to. What about all 260 00:16:17.399 --> 00:16:19.200 the other people on the plane, Like she said, nobody offered a help. 261 00:16:19.279 --> 00:16:22.399 Oh my god. I would have been offering to help immediately if I 262 00:16:22.440 --> 00:16:25.679 saw someone in that situation. And that's what I thought too, unless people 263 00:16:25.720 --> 00:16:27.120 were just like, well, it looks like somebody needs to help her, 264 00:16:27.399 --> 00:16:32.360 but nobody stepped in. One of my favorite stories at the airport was a 265 00:16:32.480 --> 00:16:36.720 woman who was struggling with like a stroller and a baby in a suitcase and 266 00:16:36.759 --> 00:16:41.200 a carry on and she was going through TSA and she had her hands full, 267 00:16:41.639 --> 00:16:44.679 literally had her hands full, and she's like, oh, she's looking 268 00:16:44.720 --> 00:16:45.919 around like what do I do? And she said, will you hold my 269 00:16:47.000 --> 00:16:49.639 baby for a minute? And I'm like, you bet, and I said, 270 00:16:51.240 --> 00:16:53.360 you know. And she was a young black woman, and I'm glad 271 00:16:53.399 --> 00:16:57.000 that she looked at an older white guy as somebody to help her out. 272 00:16:57.159 --> 00:17:00.679 Yeah, you know, I just thought that was very, very sweet, 273 00:17:00.159 --> 00:17:03.640 and I'm glad that she recognized me as somebody who was helpful. And I 274 00:17:03.680 --> 00:17:07.960 said, I got four kids on my own, I'm great with babies and 275 00:17:08.000 --> 00:17:11.839 the baby just looked at me and just like total is just like, you 276 00:17:11.839 --> 00:17:15.079 know, totally chill. And I was so happy to be able to help 277 00:17:15.119 --> 00:17:21.039 her out, but she needed help. What she gonna do Put the baby 278 00:17:21.079 --> 00:17:23.440 down on the conveyor belt, slide the baby through the X ray machine and 279 00:17:23.480 --> 00:17:27.160 get it to a TSA agent who they also probably cannot help with stuff like 280 00:17:27.160 --> 00:17:30.559 that. But see, you and I would have, like, I mean, 281 00:17:30.640 --> 00:17:33.000 you know, because we're perfect and we're wonderful, exactly, you and 282 00:17:33.039 --> 00:17:34.279 I would have said, let me help you carry something, let me give 283 00:17:34.319 --> 00:17:37.920 me that baby, yep. And they would have probably said, how about 284 00:17:37.920 --> 00:17:41.799 you take the little suitcase instead and not the baby? So I think I 285 00:17:41.839 --> 00:17:44.039 think your aunt sat Hannah is no, they can't. How are we doing 286 00:17:44.119 --> 00:17:47.000 for time? Jenny? Uh? We got we got some time still? 287 00:17:47.559 --> 00:17:52.759 Okay? Good, Let's go to Rinita, a regular staff writer. Rinita 288 00:17:52.839 --> 00:17:57.359 says, heard y'all talking about underwear versus panties, But where do you fall 289 00:17:57.400 --> 00:18:03.880 on knickers? I use that word instead, and I like to use other 290 00:18:03.079 --> 00:18:10.039 old fashioned words like stellar, dapper, ufta, et cetera. I don't 291 00:18:10.119 --> 00:18:15.839 use nickers because I just don't use I use underpants because panties is a gross 292 00:18:15.880 --> 00:18:18.559 word. Underwear just I think underpants is funny. So I'll be like, 293 00:18:18.640 --> 00:18:23.559 yeah, you know, Jenny left her underpants on the nightstand at the hotel 294 00:18:23.599 --> 00:18:26.480 and Andrew found, you know, something like that, So why are you 295 00:18:26.559 --> 00:18:30.720 out in my hotel room? None of your business. I miss parodies. 296 00:18:30.759 --> 00:18:34.039 When can we get some more. One of the things I've always loved about 297 00:18:34.079 --> 00:18:37.240 radio was the parodies the DJs would put together. In fact, I have 298 00:18:37.279 --> 00:18:41.880 an old school CD of the K one O two morning shows parodies from where 299 00:18:41.079 --> 00:18:45.640 Forever Ago, and I still laugh when I listened to the songs. We 300 00:18:45.720 --> 00:18:49.279 used to do a ton of parodies on the show. And I'm going to 301 00:18:49.359 --> 00:18:55.400 tell you the truth about a parody that I almost wrote last summer and or 302 00:18:55.519 --> 00:19:00.160 last fall about Jenny, and we never and I wrote the words out out 303 00:19:00.200 --> 00:19:03.759 and I never recorded it. I was like, going to record it, 304 00:19:03.799 --> 00:19:08.440 but Diego, the guy who assists sometimes in recording stuff, he wasn't available 305 00:19:08.519 --> 00:19:11.480 at that moment, and then the next day I wasn't available, and then 306 00:19:11.519 --> 00:19:17.839 the moment passed. It was to you a little boo Thing, and it 307 00:19:17.880 --> 00:19:21.039 was a song about Jenny called you a little poo thing, and it was 308 00:19:21.079 --> 00:19:25.400 all about how Jenny has to shit all the time because Jenny has bowel problems. 309 00:19:25.440 --> 00:19:29.599 And right now Jenny is probably you know, like clenching or butt cheeks 310 00:19:30.000 --> 00:19:32.519 squirming in my chair because I even go to the bathroom. Yeah. Yeah, 311 00:19:32.599 --> 00:19:34.200 So so I wrote the song You'm a Little Pooh Thing, and we 312 00:19:34.279 --> 00:19:38.440 never recorded it. And but the biggest parody we ever did, I think 313 00:19:38.559 --> 00:19:41.799 was the Hollister song. Really, no question was a Hollister song. And 314 00:19:42.079 --> 00:19:45.880 I missed doing those. But I guess I don't know. I just have 315 00:19:45.200 --> 00:19:51.279 not been inspired to write a parody song. You know what, Nita, 316 00:19:52.039 --> 00:19:55.240 maybe I'll work on one. As I say, I think the last one 317 00:19:55.279 --> 00:19:59.960 I did was Late Night's uh Snacking instead of Late Night Talking by Harry Style, 318 00:20:00.279 --> 00:20:03.400 since I'm a little late night midnight snacker. I think that's the last 319 00:20:03.400 --> 00:20:06.519 one. And that was probably a year and a half ago, yeah, 320 00:20:06.559 --> 00:20:10.359 almost two years ago actually, And then you also did the cheese song, 321 00:20:10.440 --> 00:20:11.960 right, Oh, yeah, I did the cheese song. I did a 322 00:20:12.000 --> 00:20:18.519 really inappropriate song to Wham's Last Christmas that can't be played on the air. 323 00:20:18.079 --> 00:20:22.160 Are the lyrics, Jenny. It was basically I don't remember, but it 324 00:20:22.200 --> 00:20:26.200 was basically that I was swiping on Tinder and that we banged one Christmas and 325 00:20:26.200 --> 00:20:30.160 then the next day he was gone and we haven't and so that was my 326 00:20:30.240 --> 00:20:33.880 last Christmas. That sounds lovely, Yeah, it's like as a beautiful Christmas 327 00:20:33.880 --> 00:20:37.640 song. Going back to couples arguing about the show, because we said, 328 00:20:37.759 --> 00:20:41.839 you know, people will argue about whether they like Taylor Swift. Like somebody 329 00:20:41.960 --> 00:20:45.079 will go, you like Taylor Swift? Yes, I like Taylor Swift. 330 00:20:45.079 --> 00:20:47.440 Do you not It's like, no, I think she's overrated. Oh my 331 00:20:47.440 --> 00:20:48.759 god, Well we can't be friends. So that type of thing. So 332 00:20:48.799 --> 00:20:52.319 we said, to people argue about our show, my husband and I are 333 00:20:52.359 --> 00:20:57.279 that couple. He says, the show panders and he hates it. Okay, 334 00:20:57.359 --> 00:21:00.720 I'm not sure what that means, but I will say that we do 335 00:21:02.640 --> 00:21:07.400 focus on a certain demographic and it's usually, you know, truth be told. 336 00:21:07.440 --> 00:21:10.720 We get a lot of men that listen to the show, and I 337 00:21:10.799 --> 00:21:15.359 love that, but the audience we target our show too is usually women that 338 00:21:15.400 --> 00:21:19.240 are about thirty four years old. That's our bulls eye. That's our bulls 339 00:21:19.240 --> 00:21:22.480 eye. If we hit the bulls eye, that's what we aim for. 340 00:21:22.839 --> 00:21:26.160 But it's a shotgun approach. Just because we're hitting the bullseye of a thirty 341 00:21:26.200 --> 00:21:30.200 four year old woman, We'll get a lot of forty two year old women 342 00:21:30.279 --> 00:21:32.519 and a lot of eighteen year old women, and a lot of twenty five 343 00:21:32.599 --> 00:21:34.160 year old men and a lot of fifty four year old men. Because I 344 00:21:34.160 --> 00:21:37.880 think there's something on our show for everybody, and I am not a thirty 345 00:21:37.920 --> 00:21:41.119 four year old woman. Jenny is almost right smack dab in the middle of 346 00:21:41.160 --> 00:21:44.920 that bulls eye, So I think we're really good at and Vont's way out 347 00:21:44.920 --> 00:21:48.559 of that bulls eye. So I think we do a good job of hitting 348 00:21:48.599 --> 00:21:49.839 a lot of people. So I don't know what they mean by pander, 349 00:21:49.880 --> 00:21:56.839 but you know, okay, he criticizes the ummms, which we probably do 350 00:21:56.920 --> 00:22:02.680 a lot of what you come and try to do radio and not say aman 351 00:22:02.880 --> 00:22:04.799 like every once in a while. Yeah, it does happen. I'm not 352 00:22:04.880 --> 00:22:07.920 saying. I mean, I know we all do it, and it's like 353 00:22:07.960 --> 00:22:11.079 something we all have to work on constantly. But yeah, I love the 354 00:22:11.119 --> 00:22:14.079 show, and I tell him he can suck it. Love y'all from Rinita. 355 00:22:14.599 --> 00:22:18.559 Thank you Rinita for sticking up for the show. Next one, this 356 00:22:18.720 --> 00:22:21.799 is Nick. He says, short email in response to the holiday email. 357 00:22:22.119 --> 00:22:25.400 Our school is a small public school and the Rocks and Cows part in the 358 00:22:25.480 --> 00:22:29.519 Rocks and Cows part of Minnesota. Our school does religious release where one day 359 00:22:29.559 --> 00:22:30.920 a week for an hour and a half, if the kids are signed up, 360 00:22:32.240 --> 00:22:36.000 they leave the school to either go to the Lutheran church or bust to 361 00:22:36.039 --> 00:22:40.279 the Catholic church and have religious studies. If not signed up, the kids 362 00:22:40.319 --> 00:22:42.480 get an extra study hall and the regular classes are reduced in link for that 363 00:22:42.599 --> 00:22:45.279 day. They do it every week, but it's a small school with an 364 00:22:45.279 --> 00:22:51.000 average grade size of thirty kids per grade. Just thought i'd share. I 365 00:22:51.200 --> 00:22:55.319 like that, you know, I there will be people who would just scream 366 00:22:55.359 --> 00:22:59.000 and yell if that was happening here in Minneapolis. But you know, in 367 00:22:59.039 --> 00:23:02.880 an outlying air are you somewhere up north, let's say, I don't know, 368 00:23:03.240 --> 00:23:06.960 Cloquet or something like that. I feel like people wouldn't really screaming yell 369 00:23:06.960 --> 00:23:11.400 about that. That's very like inclusive without having to be like forcing it upon 370 00:23:11.480 --> 00:23:14.839 everyone. Like everyone gets to leave and go do their own thing, or 371 00:23:14.880 --> 00:23:18.319 you just stay. You know, like I would be surprised if people found 372 00:23:18.400 --> 00:23:22.119 that to be like offensive, you know, what's funny is you're probably right, 373 00:23:22.799 --> 00:23:26.519 but people look, I mean, it's such a cliche to say this. 374 00:23:26.599 --> 00:23:30.839 People want to be offended. There are these righteous do gooders that expect 375 00:23:32.079 --> 00:23:37.480 they think the world should be a perfect, non offensive place. I was 376 00:23:37.599 --> 00:23:45.519 watching a very short video on Instagram and somebody said they were at a college 377 00:23:45.559 --> 00:23:48.960 campus and they did not like the speaker being there, and they said, 378 00:23:48.079 --> 00:23:52.200 I am offended. I am personally, I feel victimized that you are here 379 00:23:52.240 --> 00:23:56.119 speaking on my campus. And the woman speaking said, then put on a 380 00:23:56.160 --> 00:24:00.960 helmet and gross and balls or something like that, because because I don't have 381 00:24:00.000 --> 00:24:03.000 time for this, I'm too pregnant. And I thought it was funny because 382 00:24:03.079 --> 00:24:10.559 I think that some people are actually taught to believe they should never be offended, 383 00:24:10.799 --> 00:24:15.480 like they have a right to not be offended. For example, let's 384 00:24:15.519 --> 00:24:21.160 say that I'm walking downtown and there's a band plane and they're playing I don't 385 00:24:21.200 --> 00:24:23.400 know, I can hear like a sidewalk bar, and they're playing TikTok by 386 00:24:23.440 --> 00:24:27.079 Kesha, and I let's say I don't but let's say I hate TikTok and 387 00:24:27.119 --> 00:24:30.960 I hate Kesha. God damn it, I'm gonna go into that bar and 388 00:24:30.960 --> 00:24:33.960 I'm gonna complain to that manager. I do not want to hear Kesha. 389 00:24:33.000 --> 00:24:37.839 Her lyrics are disgusting and she's a disgusting human. Tough shit, bro, 390 00:24:38.640 --> 00:24:44.359 you've I mean, seriously, there are people think that they should not be 391 00:24:44.480 --> 00:24:49.759 offended. Good luck going through life not being offended. Yeah, I was 392 00:24:49.799 --> 00:24:53.279 gonna say, I just you just got to move on with things, and 393 00:24:53.359 --> 00:24:59.160 that's like not living if you're offended by everything. I think that, yeah, 394 00:24:59.160 --> 00:25:00.319 and that's part of life, is like, you know, it's funny 395 00:25:00.359 --> 00:25:03.759 because once in a while people will get mad at us because we didn't give 396 00:25:03.759 --> 00:25:10.079 a trigger warning. And I still I totally get trigger warnings. I had 397 00:25:10.079 --> 00:25:14.079 something very traumatic happened in my life a few years ago, and if anybody 398 00:25:14.079 --> 00:25:18.720 brings up a similar situation, it kind of makes me shudder a little bit. 399 00:25:18.400 --> 00:25:22.200 But I would never say and I kind of avoid that topic, but 400 00:25:22.240 --> 00:25:25.400 I would never get mad at anybody for bringing it up because they didn't mean. 401 00:25:26.440 --> 00:25:27.880 At the same time, if I'm going to talk about like sexual assault 402 00:25:29.000 --> 00:25:32.799 or something like that, you know, probably a trigger warning is appropriate. 403 00:25:33.079 --> 00:25:34.720 But if I'm going to talk about a tornado, yeah there's a tornado warning. 404 00:25:34.759 --> 00:25:37.799 I guess there was a tornado in Missouri this weekend, and somebody's like, 405 00:25:37.839 --> 00:25:41.839 oh, you should have given me a trigger warning, because you know, 406 00:25:41.960 --> 00:25:45.240 a tornado scare me really bad. Because I remember there was a tornado 407 00:25:45.240 --> 00:25:48.200 in my neighborhood and it did, you know, like blew apart my neighbor's 408 00:25:48.200 --> 00:25:49.920 house or something like that. I need a trigger warning. I can only 409 00:25:49.920 --> 00:25:55.279 say to you, grow up and put on a helmet, because am I 410 00:25:55.319 --> 00:25:59.640 gonna get Should I be aware of every trigger warning? You know? I 411 00:25:59.640 --> 00:26:02.279 think it's really hard to be aware. I don't think that like you would 412 00:26:02.279 --> 00:26:06.799 ever talk about something obviously in a way that's like malicious to like hurt someone 413 00:26:06.960 --> 00:26:11.200 and like bring back awful traumatic memories. But it's hard to be aware of 414 00:26:11.240 --> 00:26:15.400 what could be the potential of bringing back a traumatic situation for someone like I 415 00:26:15.440 --> 00:26:18.000 would have never have said trigger warning before talking about it a tornado. But 416 00:26:18.000 --> 00:26:21.880 I'm sure there are people who might hear the word tornado and it does like 417 00:26:21.880 --> 00:26:25.680 trigger some kind of anxiety because they were in a tornaico blame, then who's 418 00:26:25.720 --> 00:26:30.839 to blame? Are you to blame for not being sensitive enough to maybe think 419 00:26:30.880 --> 00:26:34.000 that a tornado could trigger somebody? Or are they to blame for bringing it 420 00:26:34.079 --> 00:26:38.599 up. I understand they're upset, Sure they are traumatized and whatever by the 421 00:26:38.640 --> 00:26:42.720 tornado, but they are they and the wrong to bring it up to embarrass 422 00:26:42.880 --> 00:26:48.799 you or should they just say, you know what, that sucks, I 423 00:26:48.799 --> 00:26:51.240 don't want to talk about a tornado, but not go you know what? 424 00:26:51.279 --> 00:26:52.359 You need to give me a trigger warning, because we get that once in 425 00:26:52.400 --> 00:26:56.319 a while. Yeah, if I say something like coffee, somebody will be 426 00:26:56.359 --> 00:26:59.160 like, I got scalded by coffee when I was a baby, and I 427 00:26:59.200 --> 00:27:03.279 cannot talk about coffee without remembering that horrible event when I got scalded when I 428 00:27:03.319 --> 00:27:06.599 was a baby, So please give a trigger warning before you bring up coffee. 429 00:27:06.799 --> 00:27:10.200 And I'll be like, are you serious? And we don't get that 430 00:27:10.359 --> 00:27:15.319 often because I think that people that people do that they're literally looking for something 431 00:27:15.359 --> 00:27:18.680 to be a victim for. Yeah, I would say that the person is 432 00:27:18.720 --> 00:27:22.200 probably that's complaining about you bringing up coffee. They're a little bit in the 433 00:27:22.240 --> 00:27:26.119 wrong. They could maybe approach it in a different way, obviously, like 434 00:27:26.160 --> 00:27:29.599 on the radio. It's a little different if it was like a conversation with 435 00:27:29.640 --> 00:27:32.400 a friend in person and they were like, hey, you know, can 436 00:27:32.480 --> 00:27:34.319 you just like maybe not talk about this. That's like a different situation where 437 00:27:34.319 --> 00:27:37.240 I think that they're in the right to like maybe bring that up. But 438 00:27:37.319 --> 00:27:41.880 on the radio, it's like, we can't be aware of every single thing 439 00:27:41.920 --> 00:27:45.880 that might set someone off. We're aware of obvious things like what you brought 440 00:27:45.960 --> 00:27:48.160 up earlier, sexual assault. Obviously we're aware of stuff like that. But 441 00:27:49.039 --> 00:27:52.000 you know, Jenny and I and Vought, we're talking about this in the 442 00:27:52.119 --> 00:27:53.720 year. We got to wrap up Hyaht's wrap up. Then we'll continue. 443 00:27:53.759 --> 00:27:57.960 We'll continue on Monday on the Minnesota Goodbye. Send your emails in to Ryan's 444 00:27:57.960 --> 00:28:03.200 show at a d w B dot com. Love to hear from you, 445 00:28:03.400 --> 00:28:03.759 and we'll see you next week.
