00:00:02.120 --> 00:00:07.320
And here we go with the Minnesota
Goodbye. Let's start off with this one

2
00:00:07.519 --> 00:00:11.839
from Chow. Who is you know
what I'm gonna start naming regular contributing writers

3
00:00:11.880 --> 00:00:15.640
of the Dave Ryan in the Morning
Show Minnesota Goodbye, because we're gonna call

4
00:00:15.679 --> 00:00:20.719
you contributing writers contributing it by because
you send an email in your contributing to

5
00:00:20.760 --> 00:00:24.480
the show, and we really need
that because that is what this entire podcast

6
00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:28.719
is based on, is your thoughts
and your questions and the random stuff that

7
00:00:28.760 --> 00:00:31.760
you come up with. Are they
going to start demanding we pay them though?

8
00:00:33.399 --> 00:00:37.399
Luck what kind of title we give
them? Yeah? Sorry about that,

9
00:00:39.840 --> 00:00:44.039
Hey, guys from Chow. We
always turn on our front and back

10
00:00:44.119 --> 00:00:46.960
door lights at nighttime. We live
at the end of the street where there's

11
00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:49.719
no neighbors in front of us,
only trees, et cetera. So at

12
00:00:49.799 --> 00:00:52.359
night you can get pretty dark.
There's only street lights at the corner houses,

13
00:00:52.359 --> 00:00:56.039
so after you turn the corner it
is almost complete darkness. Plus,

14
00:00:56.079 --> 00:00:58.960
I remember one time there was a
guy who was running from the cops.

15
00:00:59.240 --> 00:01:03.320
He was hiding in our backyard when
at the time we didn't leave the backyard

16
00:01:03.399 --> 00:01:06.840
light on. Good thing the police
were able to find him and capture him.

17
00:01:06.840 --> 00:01:08.359
Now this is a little bit out
of context, but I think we

18
00:01:08.359 --> 00:01:12.599
were talking about leaving your yard lights
on or porch lights on. What was

19
00:01:12.640 --> 00:01:15.359
this last week? I think you
brought it up on air saying that you

20
00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:18.840
should leave your lights on at night, and I was like, I never

21
00:01:18.920 --> 00:01:21.319
leave my lights on. And people
think that you're sketchy if you like,

22
00:01:21.359 --> 00:01:23.840
don't leave your lights on in the
neighborhood. But I was like, I

23
00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:26.239
don't leave my lights on. And
then someone brought up last week, I

24
00:01:26.239 --> 00:01:30.920
think it's bad for birds, right, they're migration. Yep, that's what

25
00:01:30.959 --> 00:01:34.000
they say, to have lights on
or something. But the funny thing is

26
00:01:34.040 --> 00:01:37.400
with you know, one house in
the whole neighborhood is not going to be

27
00:01:37.439 --> 00:01:40.920
bad for the birds. We had
like a park ranger or somebody right in.

28
00:01:41.400 --> 00:01:45.200
I have I leave my front door
light on all the time, and

29
00:01:45.280 --> 00:01:49.000
the lights in front of my house
that light up the driveway and they're just

30
00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:51.959
lights, they're not spot lights,
are very bright, but I just have

31
00:01:52.040 --> 00:01:53.439
it out there because I figure if
I wake up in the middle of the

32
00:01:53.519 --> 00:01:57.879
night to somebody at my door when
I look out, I want to be

33
00:01:57.879 --> 00:02:00.959
able to see who's out there.
If I get something in the middle of

34
00:02:00.959 --> 00:02:01.959
the night on my ring cam,
I want to be able to look out

35
00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:06.680
and see who's out there. But
I do have a big floodlight in my

36
00:02:06.680 --> 00:02:09.039
backyard. There's two of them.
There's one that points this way and so

37
00:02:09.080 --> 00:02:14.120
it lights up the entire backyard.
I don't leave that on at night because

38
00:02:14.960 --> 00:02:16.599
I don't want to bother in the
neighbors. You know, it's not even

39
00:02:16.639 --> 00:02:20.319
an electricity thing or a bird thing. I just don't want to bother in

40
00:02:20.360 --> 00:02:25.400
the neighbors. So for sure,
thank you Chow for that one. Moving

41
00:02:25.439 --> 00:02:30.759
on to the next one, she
says, don't say my name. I

42
00:02:30.759 --> 00:02:32.159
don't think my friends listen to the
podcast, but if they do, I'd

43
00:02:32.240 --> 00:02:36.840
rather them not know it's me.
First of all, I love you guys

44
00:02:36.840 --> 00:02:38.800
so much. I've listened to y'all
since I've been in the moom as.

45
00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:42.800
My mom always listens on her commute, and now I listen on the iHeartRadio

46
00:02:42.840 --> 00:02:46.400
app while I'm getting ready in the
morning at college. That is awesome.

47
00:02:46.199 --> 00:02:49.960
Here we go, I want an
outside opinion. This summer, two of

48
00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:53.400
my friends separate friends and occasions,
invited me in a couple of others to

49
00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:57.479
hang out at houses they were house
sitting at overnight, to look at the

50
00:02:57.520 --> 00:03:00.599
dog, to look after the dogs. We're all college students, so the

51
00:03:00.639 --> 00:03:04.400
first friend did that did this.
She's a friend from high school. It

52
00:03:04.439 --> 00:03:07.719
was later at night she offered the
house that she was house sitting for us

53
00:03:07.759 --> 00:03:10.879
to talk through plans for an upcoming
trip we were doing. There were three

54
00:03:10.919 --> 00:03:15.639
of us plus her. Now remember, she's house sitting and you're probably not

55
00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:17.280
supposed to have people over. But
at the same time, you know,

56
00:03:17.360 --> 00:03:22.159
big deal. We even ordered pizza
and ate at their house. We cleaned

57
00:03:22.199 --> 00:03:25.199
up after ourselves, of course.
The second friend was one of my college

58
00:03:25.199 --> 00:03:30.879
friends. We were planning a group
activity for the upcoming school year. She's

59
00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:32.159
house sitting. We all come over. We dipped our feet in the pool

60
00:03:32.199 --> 00:03:36.319
and then went inside a chat.
There were a total of eight of us

61
00:03:36.360 --> 00:03:42.560
hanging out. I just find it
weird hanging out in a house that is

62
00:03:42.639 --> 00:03:46.080
not one of our own when the
owner of the house isn't there, and

63
00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:49.599
I'm pretty sure in neither case were
they notified that we went or over.

64
00:03:50.199 --> 00:03:53.240
I'm aware that they probably are both
close to the families of their house sitting

65
00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:55.400
for but when I look at it
from my perspective, I would not appreciate

66
00:03:55.639 --> 00:04:00.759
random people hanging out of my house
when I'm not home. However, my

67
00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:04.479
parents have always been particular about having
even my closest friends over and usually want

68
00:04:04.479 --> 00:04:09.479
at least a couple of days notice. Additionally, they've always been super particular

69
00:04:09.520 --> 00:04:13.039
about how my brother and I treat
our house. Even if we accidentally slam

70
00:04:13.039 --> 00:04:15.879
a door, we'd get a glare. Is it just how I was raised

71
00:04:15.920 --> 00:04:19.519
that I find this weird or is
it actually weird? Thanks and keep up

72
00:04:19.560 --> 00:04:23.240
the good work with the podcast.
And I won't say your name, but

73
00:04:23.399 --> 00:04:28.639
I would say no to me,
it's not weird. I guess I'm pretty

74
00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:30.839
open and welcoming if I had.
For example, we've had somebody who's been

75
00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:34.920
watching Josie when we go out of
town. You know, if they're an

76
00:04:34.920 --> 00:04:38.079
adult, they want to have a
couple of friends over and sit in the

77
00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:42.920
backyard and you know, have drinks
or whatever, order pizza. I don't

78
00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:46.439
care, you know, be respectful
like you would. And I would expect

79
00:04:46.439 --> 00:04:49.199
the person who is house sitting to
be kind of the you know, the

80
00:04:49.279 --> 00:04:53.360
supervisor, and be like, hey, make sure you clean up. Let's

81
00:04:53.839 --> 00:04:56.680
clean up the dishes and stuff before
we leave. I think that you should

82
00:04:56.720 --> 00:04:59.800
definitely ask ahead of time. In
my opinion, I think I'd be kind

83
00:04:59.800 --> 00:05:01.639
of an anoyed if I found out
that somebody that was house sitting for me

84
00:05:01.759 --> 00:05:05.319
had like a bunch of people over. I wouldn't care if they asked me

85
00:05:05.319 --> 00:05:09.199
ahead of time. If I found
out later, I probably would get a

86
00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:13.000
little annoyed. But I do remember
one time, like this is probably six

87
00:05:13.079 --> 00:05:17.600
seven years ago now, Tina was
house sitting or watching Steve Lettard's dogs,

88
00:05:17.839 --> 00:05:20.920
okay and or dog. He might
have only had one dog at the time,

89
00:05:21.360 --> 00:05:25.600
and so she had to go up
to Rogers and her and I were

90
00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:29.240
working on it was somebody's birthday,
and we were working on something for the

91
00:05:29.279 --> 00:05:32.040
morning show, like a project to
put together for the birthday, And so

92
00:05:32.120 --> 00:05:36.319
I went up to Steve's house because
we were using his glue gun or something

93
00:05:36.360 --> 00:05:41.000
like that. Okay, So,
but I felt like a little bit weird

94
00:05:41.040 --> 00:05:44.120
that I was there when like,
I wasn't the one that was supposed to

95
00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:46.879
be there house sitting. It was
Tina, and I knew Steve, I

96
00:05:46.920 --> 00:05:49.040
worked with Steve. I wouldn't have
cared one way or another but I also

97
00:05:49.079 --> 00:05:51.519
don't think we like let him know
ahead of time we were going to do

98
00:05:51.560 --> 00:05:57.079
that project like at his house,
And so it felt a little bit strange

99
00:05:57.120 --> 00:06:00.240
to me, but in the end
it didn't matter. He didn't hair.

100
00:06:00.519 --> 00:06:01.920
No, you wouldn't cared. No, I don't think we asked ahead of

101
00:06:01.959 --> 00:06:05.759
time. If you minded that we
were hanging out at his house doing that,

102
00:06:06.160 --> 00:06:10.839
I would not expect, like,
like, let's say the Tina was

103
00:06:10.879 --> 00:06:14.759
watching Josie and Tina wanted to have
like you and like a couple of other

104
00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:17.720
friends over to watch movies and eat
popcorn. I don't care. I mean,

105
00:06:17.800 --> 00:06:21.040
I wouldn't even care if she asked
me first. I would be pleased

106
00:06:21.079 --> 00:06:25.160
if she did, and I would
probably say, oh, you don't have

107
00:06:25.199 --> 00:06:30.040
to ask, just go ahead.
Babysitters are a different story. Think about

108
00:06:30.040 --> 00:06:33.600
this. When Alison was about six
or seven, we had a babysitter and

109
00:06:33.639 --> 00:06:38.759
we came home, and the babysitter
had friends over, and the babysitter was

110
00:06:38.800 --> 00:06:44.639
probably fifteen or sixteen, and the
we were pretty sure that kids were sneaking

111
00:06:44.639 --> 00:06:46.319
out the back door when they heard
us come home, because we heard the

112
00:06:46.360 --> 00:06:49.399
sliding glass door open and close,
and the babysitter seemed a little bit like

113
00:06:49.519 --> 00:06:54.560
wah hi hey, and so Alison
of course narked and said, yeah,

114
00:06:54.600 --> 00:07:00.480
she had friends over. And I
didn't like that because when your babysit my

115
00:07:00.639 --> 00:07:03.240
kid, you have a responsibility.
Yeah, you're supposed to be watching my

116
00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:09.600
kid. And if you have friends
over, sure you're probably doing nothing.

117
00:07:09.639 --> 00:07:13.399
But even if you're watching TV,
you're not doing what I paid you to

118
00:07:13.439 --> 00:07:16.439
do, and that is exclusively watch
my kid. Right, So there i'd

119
00:07:16.439 --> 00:07:19.240
have a problem. But with a
house sitter, no, yeah, I

120
00:07:19.240 --> 00:07:23.079
don't really care. Yeah what about
this? What if somebody like borrows your

121
00:07:23.079 --> 00:07:27.199
house for the weekend, like Jenny, Yeah, I'm going to stay over

122
00:07:27.240 --> 00:07:30.040
there, or you're gonna be out
of town? Is okay? If I

123
00:07:30.040 --> 00:07:31.920
stay at your house or whatever and
they have a boyfriend come over and they

124
00:07:31.920 --> 00:07:39.079
hook up in your bedroom, well
I would be such a fucking hypocrite if

125
00:07:39.079 --> 00:07:42.160
I said I was upset about that, because really, there was a time

126
00:07:42.839 --> 00:07:46.079
when I was in between places and
I was crashing at my sister's place with

127
00:07:46.120 --> 00:07:49.439
her now husband. They had a
tiny, one bedroom apartment. I was

128
00:07:49.519 --> 00:07:54.360
literally sleeping on an air mattress in
their living room, and I like had

129
00:07:54.399 --> 00:07:58.199
a month of time where I was
sleep like staying with them, and so

130
00:07:58.319 --> 00:08:01.160
in the in between, I had
another friend on who was out of town

131
00:08:01.199 --> 00:08:03.680
for the weekend, and so she's
like, you can just go crash at

132
00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:05.639
my place for the weekend so you
can have some space. And I was

133
00:08:05.639 --> 00:08:09.240
like, Oh, that'd be so
great. Well what did Jenny do.

134
00:08:09.839 --> 00:08:13.360
Jenny went out and got a little
drunk that night, and I'm looking up

135
00:08:13.560 --> 00:08:18.319
someone and bringing the guy back to
my friend's place. Oh, looked up

136
00:08:18.319 --> 00:08:22.839
with him in her bed in her
bed. Yeah, okay, that is

137
00:08:22.920 --> 00:08:26.040
fun. What would you think of
that one? Send an email with any

138
00:08:26.040 --> 00:08:28.279
thoughts on this one. I know
you get to the end of the podcast

139
00:08:28.519 --> 00:08:33.000
and you forget, so send an
email to Ryan Show at KDWB dot com.

140
00:08:33.039 --> 00:08:35.559
I once hooked up with a girlfriend
when I lived in Ohio in her

141
00:08:35.600 --> 00:08:39.279
parents' bed. I don't know why. I think of what the reason was.

142
00:08:39.799 --> 00:08:43.320
We were over at her parents house. They were gone and my girlfriend's

143
00:08:43.320 --> 00:08:46.840
bedroom was now used as a hobby
room or a workout room or something,

144
00:08:48.159 --> 00:08:50.000
so we couldn't hook up there.
So the easiest place was not going to

145
00:08:50.039 --> 00:08:54.200
be her little sister's room. Gross, So we hooked up in her parents'

146
00:08:54.240 --> 00:08:56.480
bed, which to her was like
no big deal. But to me it

147
00:08:56.519 --> 00:09:01.279
was kind of like, it's just
weird. Was I wasn't hooking up with

148
00:09:01.279 --> 00:09:03.960
people in high school. That came
later in life for me, But in

149
00:09:03.039 --> 00:09:07.200
high school, at like parties,
people were always hooking up in parents' beds

150
00:09:07.399 --> 00:09:09.840
because it was like a high school
party. And it's like, yes,

151
00:09:11.039 --> 00:09:13.720
yeah, there's like a few bedrooms
open. One of them happens to be

152
00:09:13.759 --> 00:09:16.120
the parents' bed, And if you
don't know the parents, well it's no

153
00:09:16.159 --> 00:09:18.080
big deal. But even if you
don't, you're horny, you're going to

154
00:09:18.120 --> 00:09:20.799
find a place to hook up.
Dave Jenny Drake. Just a quick thought

155
00:09:20.879 --> 00:09:26.240
on how to cook a pizza from
a professional. This is from jem Jay

156
00:09:26.399 --> 00:09:30.480
Hamilton, who is a chef.
Oh yeah, let's hear Jem. So

157
00:09:30.799 --> 00:09:33.519
last week it came up somebody had
called in on No Phone Screener Friday and

158
00:09:33.559 --> 00:09:37.039
said, I argue with my husband, which is right. He likes to

159
00:09:37.080 --> 00:09:41.600
cook the pizza on a pan.
I put it directly on the rack.

160
00:09:41.039 --> 00:09:45.639
He gets mad because the cheese drips
down into the bottom of the oven and

161
00:09:45.679 --> 00:09:48.799
then it burns on I say,
I like it on the rack because then

162
00:09:48.840 --> 00:09:52.159
it's crispier. So we had a
whole debate about that didn't but also she

163
00:09:52.200 --> 00:09:56.759
didn't want to wash the pan afterwards. Okay, that's right with having to

164
00:09:56.799 --> 00:10:00.759
wash a pan. He goes on
to say, I would say there's no

165
00:10:00.879 --> 00:10:03.320
right or wrong way to cook a
pizza, but there's pros and cons to

166
00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:07.240
each. The pizza pan is a
simple, lightweight way to cook a pizza,

167
00:10:07.279 --> 00:10:11.799
and they're often non stick and give
you a soft, lovy crust if

168
00:10:11.799 --> 00:10:16.000
that's what you want. However,
pans do not promote air circulation and tend

169
00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:20.399
to trap steam, leaving your crust
not evenly cooked and a little bit soggy.

170
00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:26.399
The pizza stone is the preferred medium. They use the word medium for

171
00:10:26.480 --> 00:10:30.919
hardcore pizza ficionados. There's a reason
they've been around since ancient grease. When

172
00:10:30.960 --> 00:10:33.120
you preheat them in an oven,
they cook your pizza evenly and faster than

173
00:10:33.440 --> 00:10:37.759
giving you a crispy, light crust
with caramelized cheese like a restaurant. They

174
00:10:37.799 --> 00:10:41.759
absorb excess moisture and you can use
it for more than pizza, like cookies

175
00:10:41.759 --> 00:10:46.039
and bread, but they tend to
be expensive and a bit harder to clean

176
00:10:46.039 --> 00:10:48.840
and care for. Also, if
you don't preheat them, they will actually

177
00:10:48.840 --> 00:10:52.000
take much longer to cook your pizza
and can be worse than a pan.

178
00:10:52.120 --> 00:10:54.399
I didn't know yet to preheat a
pizza stone. Yeah I didn't either.

179
00:10:56.799 --> 00:11:01.399
The no pan option will also give
you a crisp crust. Crisp crust due

180
00:11:01.399 --> 00:11:05.360
to air circulation, but they can
also droop over the rack of and of

181
00:11:05.440 --> 00:11:07.559
not bait quick enough to set the
crust, and this tends to dry out

182
00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:11.799
your crust, making it hard and
chewy. Also, unless you have a

183
00:11:11.840 --> 00:11:15.720
confection of it, your outer edges
cook faster than the center of your pizza

184
00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:18.200
and result in burnt spots. But
if that's your preference, it's your pizza,

185
00:11:18.240 --> 00:11:22.600
not mine. However, you cook
your pizza as long as you like

186
00:11:22.679 --> 00:11:26.440
it, you're doing it right.
But I personally prefer a pizza stone lightly

187
00:11:26.559 --> 00:11:31.120
dusted with cornmeal. Thanks for reading
my email. That is from Jim Jay

188
00:11:31.360 --> 00:11:37.120
Hamilton, another regular contributor and official
writer of The Dave Ryan Show. So

189
00:11:37.320 --> 00:11:41.480
thank you, Jim. Here is
one about airplane etiquette etiquette. Here we

190
00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:48.159
go, Hello, favorite morning show. I have an airplane etiquette etiquette quandary.

191
00:11:50.200 --> 00:11:52.639
I'd love to run past you.
Now I'm going to try to explain

192
00:11:52.639 --> 00:11:54.960
this because I had to read it
a couple of times for it to make

193
00:11:54.000 --> 00:11:58.720
sense to me. But here we
go. I'm recently on a long flight

194
00:11:58.240 --> 00:12:03.279
two Huston for Minneapolis. When I
go on flights longer than two and a

195
00:12:03.320 --> 00:12:07.480
half hours, this one was three
hours. I all always sit on the

196
00:12:07.559 --> 00:12:11.120
aisle because I need to pee every
two and a half hours, like clockwork,

197
00:12:11.240 --> 00:12:15.960
and I want more space. Well, I bored the flight, and

198
00:12:15.960 --> 00:12:18.639
there's a woman sitting next to me
in the middle, and she said,

199
00:12:18.639 --> 00:12:22.840
will you switch spots with me?
Because her husband was on the aisle on

200
00:12:22.879 --> 00:12:26.840
the other side. So, in
other words, the writer is on the

201
00:12:26.840 --> 00:12:31.440
aisle across from her as the woman's
husband. The woman wants to swap seats,

202
00:12:31.559 --> 00:12:33.840
so they're the woman and her husband
are sitting next to each other on

203
00:12:33.840 --> 00:12:37.919
the aisle. She was about seventy
five years old. For context, I

204
00:12:39.000 --> 00:12:45.159
really didn't want to say yes because
I paid for this flight, and she

205
00:12:45.320 --> 00:12:48.840
clearly did not pay to pick her
seat, and she took a random assignment,

206
00:12:48.879 --> 00:12:52.639
so in other words, it was
kind of her problem, and the

207
00:12:54.039 --> 00:12:58.919
person had paid specifically not to sit
in the middle or on the window.

208
00:13:01.240 --> 00:13:07.200
I politely asked if she could switch
with the man who was in the middle

209
00:13:07.279 --> 00:13:11.120
seat sitting next to her husband,
So, in other words, she basically

210
00:13:11.159 --> 00:13:13.639
said no. She said, but
maybe you can switch with the guys sitting

211
00:13:13.639 --> 00:13:16.960
next to your husband, swap middle
seats now that you'll be next to her

212
00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:20.799
husband. And she said no,
I'd prefer the aisle. I was in

213
00:13:20.919 --> 00:13:24.399
shock, so I just said sure, I'd switch with her. When reality,

214
00:13:24.799 --> 00:13:28.960
I felt it was so rude.
Am I being dramatic by thinking she

215
00:13:30.080 --> 00:13:33.759
is being rude? Or is she
in the wrong. If she really wanted

216
00:13:33.759 --> 00:13:35.639
an aisle seat and also next to
her husband, she should have paid for

217
00:13:35.679 --> 00:13:41.200
it so they could be together.
By the way, the couple was not

218
00:13:41.360 --> 00:13:45.519
elder If they had not been elderly, I probably would not have switched.

219
00:13:45.559 --> 00:13:50.960
Thank you. I'm gonna say she
was not rude, but a little bit

220
00:13:50.960 --> 00:13:56.919
clueless. She didn't know that you
had paid for your seat on the aisle.

221
00:13:58.320 --> 00:14:00.799
She didn't know that you had picked
it. She probably just thought you

222
00:14:00.799 --> 00:14:05.240
were randomly assigned there where. She
was rude. Nobody wants the freaking middle

223
00:14:05.240 --> 00:14:09.559
seat, yep. Asking to swap
somebody an aisle seat or a window for

224
00:14:09.559 --> 00:14:15.000
the middle seat is no, it's
just clueless. You just don't. It's

225
00:14:15.039 --> 00:14:18.039
kind of like, hey, would
you mind having the smaller piece of pizza

226
00:14:18.159 --> 00:14:20.519
so I can have the bigger one? Well, no, I want to

227
00:14:20.519 --> 00:14:24.240
have the bigger one. So what
do you think, jen Oh, I

228
00:14:24.279 --> 00:14:26.600
think that that. I know that
she said that they were a little bit

229
00:14:26.600 --> 00:14:30.559
older, so you give kind of
some more grace to that. But I

230
00:14:30.639 --> 00:14:33.480
just think that it is so rude
to ever ask anyone to switch. If

231
00:14:33.480 --> 00:14:37.360
you have a middle seat, nobody
wants are switching, either for a window

232
00:14:37.440 --> 00:14:41.720
or an aisle. It is so
rude. Yeah, I don't want to

233
00:14:41.759 --> 00:14:45.200
sit in the middle. Then you're
dealing with two people wrestling for the arm

234
00:14:45.279 --> 00:14:48.639
rusts like I don't. I am
shocked that she switched. Honestly, I

235
00:14:48.679 --> 00:14:52.080
would have said. I would have
said, listen, I paid for this

236
00:14:52.159 --> 00:14:56.080
seat, and also I have to
go to the bathroom pretty often, so

237
00:14:56.200 --> 00:14:58.720
like, I'm gonna still sit here. I'm sorry. I think it's one

238
00:14:58.720 --> 00:15:01.879
of those things you think later about
what you should have said, because that's

239
00:15:01.919 --> 00:15:03.240
what she should have said. I
got to go to the bathroom a lot,

240
00:15:03.279 --> 00:15:07.120
and I paid for this seat,
so no, I'm sorry. But

241
00:15:07.279 --> 00:15:11.159
in like the kind of like surprise
of her asking, you don't really know

242
00:15:11.200 --> 00:15:15.720
what to do, and you also
probably are wondering like, is it going

243
00:15:15.799 --> 00:15:18.919
to be the worst plane ride of
my life? Then? Is this woman

244
00:15:18.960 --> 00:15:20.360
going to make me feel miserable?
Then if she still has to sit in

245
00:15:20.360 --> 00:15:24.080
the middle seat, because I get
to deal with the awkwardness of that once

246
00:15:24.120 --> 00:15:26.639
you say no. I had a
woman on a flight. Susan and I

247
00:15:26.679 --> 00:15:31.279
were flying somewhere and it was kind
of a similar situation. I don't remember

248
00:15:31.320 --> 00:15:33.480
exactly, but I said, hey, would you mind switching and so I

249
00:15:33.480 --> 00:15:37.799
can sit next to my wife?
And she literally said no, I prefer

250
00:15:37.840 --> 00:15:39.559
to sit right here. And I
was like, God, what a dicky.

251
00:15:39.799 --> 00:15:43.080
But then I thought, you know
what, good for her she wanted

252
00:15:43.120 --> 00:15:46.360
to sit there. If that's what
she reserved, and we didn't book our

253
00:15:46.399 --> 00:15:50.240
seats together, that's not her problem. So I was a little bit annoyed

254
00:15:50.559 --> 00:15:52.879
and I probably texted Susan like,
yeah, this B word over here,

255
00:15:52.960 --> 00:15:56.200
won't switch would a B word?
But you know what, that was her

256
00:15:56.279 --> 00:16:00.639
right to do. That is the
