WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.560 --> 00:00:06.799 It is for ride Day Minnesota Goodbye time you guys ready, yay, let's 2 00:00:06.879 --> 00:00:11.160 get going here we go on the Minnesota Goodbye. Let's start off with this 3 00:00:11.199 --> 00:00:17.480 one. Imagine my surprise listening to the Minnesota Goodbye doing my summer chemistry research 4 00:00:17.559 --> 00:00:21.719 project for the University of Wisconsin River Falls, and I hear Bailey name drop 5 00:00:21.800 --> 00:00:26.760 the school I attend. I must say that while his graduation's rate is not 6 00:00:26.839 --> 00:00:31.000 particularly grade fifty eight percent, there are other University Wisconsin schools that are a 7 00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:36.280 little more questionable than us. You w Plattsville and Oshkosh with rates of fifty 8 00:00:36.280 --> 00:00:41.159 two and fifty five percent, respectively. That's really interesting to me. I 9 00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:44.119 never thought about graduation rates out of college. I thought, if you're going 10 00:00:44.159 --> 00:00:48.439 to go to college, you have determined that you want to go, and 11 00:00:48.439 --> 00:00:52.759 of course you want to graduate. Half the people at these schools don't graduate. 12 00:00:52.880 --> 00:00:55.679 Hey, I looked it up yesterday for Saint Cloud and it's a ninety 13 00:00:55.679 --> 00:01:00.200 five percent percent acceptance rate and a forty five percent graduation rate. Forty five 14 00:01:00.479 --> 00:01:03.079 five. But it's like it's wild because people I would say, oh, 15 00:01:03.079 --> 00:01:06.879 I'm going to Saint Clown, they go like, oh, party school and 16 00:01:06.920 --> 00:01:10.400 I'd be like, no, because I went to school the entire time and 17 00:01:10.439 --> 00:01:14.920 I graduated with a degree. I learned everything that I needed to learn for 18 00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:18.959 my degree, and so like, yeah, okay, I threw River Falls 19 00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:22.319 under the bus, but that's because that's what I it's my defense mechanism. 20 00:01:22.359 --> 00:01:23.959 When people make fun of Saint Cloud, I would be like, yeah, 21 00:01:23.959 --> 00:01:29.359 well River Falls and but hey, well that kind of makes sense that they 22 00:01:29.400 --> 00:01:34.879 accept everybody, and so therefore they're going to lose a lot more people over 23 00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:38.640 the next couple of years. Kind of like if we hired everybody that applied, 24 00:01:40.400 --> 00:01:42.480 half of them would not work out, probably more than half. So 25 00:01:44.319 --> 00:01:48.519 they say fun of River. What she's saying Platteville and Oshkosh because okay, 26 00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:51.239 because fifty two and fifty five, got it. I think you said University 27 00:01:51.239 --> 00:01:53.439 of Wisconsin Plattevil in Oshkosh and I was like, platfel Is its own city, 28 00:01:53.560 --> 00:01:59.200 like southeast or West Wisconsin. Was confused. She goes on to say, 29 00:01:59.239 --> 00:02:01.680 I also wouldn't call at a party school only because it's considered a suitcase 30 00:02:01.760 --> 00:02:06.120 college. If you don't know, that is where the majority of students leave 31 00:02:06.400 --> 00:02:13.199 almost every weekend. Also, no extraculurricular event activities happen Friday afternoon through Sunday. 32 00:02:13.439 --> 00:02:15.520 If I'm being honest, it's a little sad and has been like that 33 00:02:15.560 --> 00:02:20.479 since my mom graduated there in ninety seven. Can't party if you don't have 34 00:02:20.520 --> 00:02:23.039 any else to party with? Loll. All in all, we're still a 35 00:02:23.039 --> 00:02:27.199 great school, ranked high in agriculture, teaching, and stem fields. My 36 00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:31.120 friends and I really enjoy it there. I'll leave you guys with the conversation 37 00:02:31.360 --> 00:02:36.759 I overheard a year ago. Is River Falls a party school or a school 38 00:02:36.759 --> 00:02:42.039 school? Oh? Please? Every school in Wisconsin is a party school? 39 00:02:42.759 --> 00:02:49.159 Dart Lick from Cassie. Interesting, I you know, I guess it would 40 00:02:49.159 --> 00:02:52.560 be. I never thought about going to a school that doesn't have like Saturday 41 00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:54.680 afternoon football, you know what I mean. Yeah, that's strange that there's 42 00:02:54.759 --> 00:03:00.240 no extracurriculars on the weekend. But if you go to the MEU river Fall, 43 00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:04.199 that is the University Wisconsin. So the main school is in what Madison? 44 00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:07.879 Well, I mean there's a lot of UW's, So Madison in Milwaukee 45 00:03:07.960 --> 00:03:10.360 are like the two big ones, but Madison's definitely the main big ones, 46 00:03:10.439 --> 00:03:14.080 Okay, because like there's you know, u of M, Like, you 47 00:03:14.120 --> 00:03:17.800 know, I don't know Morrisville or Montevideo or whatever, but the main one 48 00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:23.080 where they play football is here in Minneapolis, right. I mean deLuce has 49 00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:25.879 hockey though, so that's what they sing up there. So they have their 50 00:03:25.879 --> 00:03:29.479 own hockey team, yes, And I mean the U of M obviously has 51 00:03:29.520 --> 00:03:32.759 all those sports too, but yeah, UW's have. There's quite a few 52 00:03:32.800 --> 00:03:37.000 UW's. I was kind of shocked because Mankato is a state university in Sant 53 00:03:37.039 --> 00:03:42.000 Clouds too, but there's like a UW in practically every bigish city in Wisconsin. 54 00:03:43.319 --> 00:03:47.319 Next one, please don't same a name. P one freak listener here. 55 00:03:47.520 --> 00:03:52.520 P one is an industry term for somebody who listens all the time. 56 00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:54.759 It is an industry term that people have kind of got the word out. 57 00:03:54.800 --> 00:03:58.599 I don't like using it because it's a buzzword. It's kind of like, 58 00:03:58.680 --> 00:04:01.560 you know, using like I don't know, medical term that we don't know. 59 00:04:01.639 --> 00:04:04.240 But P one people understand what it is. P one is a big 60 00:04:04.280 --> 00:04:10.560 listener. I absolutely love you guys and listen every single day. I'm pathetic, 61 00:04:11.439 --> 00:04:15.279 No, we love you any who. I need to chime in on 62 00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:19.759 stealing. I've always believed that stealing is wrong, no matter the circumstances. 63 00:04:19.800 --> 00:04:25.600 With that being said, my heart genuinely aches for those who struggle, and 64 00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:30.399 I have felt so strongly about this that I made a career change into outreach. 65 00:04:30.959 --> 00:04:33.360 I felt called to serve some of the most vulnerable, especially those living 66 00:04:33.360 --> 00:04:38.240 in poverty. Through this work, I've gained a deeper understanding and want to 67 00:04:38.240 --> 00:04:44.000 offer my perspective. I am angered by the mentality of, well, you 68 00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:48.720 don't know their situation, or maybe they really need to steal. There are 69 00:04:48.800 --> 00:04:54.079 several ways people like you and me who do not live in poverty already serve 70 00:04:54.160 --> 00:04:58.160 these people. Number One, we pay for our stuff. Yes, it's 71 00:04:58.160 --> 00:05:00.879 that simple. We buy what we want we need we keep businesses running. 72 00:05:01.360 --> 00:05:06.800 Two taxes. Our taxes fund government programs that provide financial assistance for those in 73 00:05:06.920 --> 00:05:13.199 need, whether we like it or not. Three extra giving to charities. 74 00:05:13.199 --> 00:05:16.639 Many people donate money or volunteer their time to non governmental organizations that help the 75 00:05:16.720 --> 00:05:20.560 less fortunate. Then, after all that, we get punched in the gut 76 00:05:20.560 --> 00:05:28.000 if someone steals Uugh, despite all this support, it's infuriating when somebody steals 77 00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:32.000 because it ultimately causes prices to rise for everyone. There is no excuse for 78 00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:35.519 stealing. There, I said it. There is a wealth of resources available 79 00:05:35.519 --> 00:05:40.399 for those who need help. Several places, just in the Twin Cities have 80 00:05:40.480 --> 00:05:46.639 food resources where there are no questions asked. Absolutely anyone can get food without 81 00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:49.839 any sort of proof of need, et cetera. There are also many options 82 00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:55.600 to help with rent, assistance, abuse, job help, whatever to get 83 00:05:55.600 --> 00:05:59.920 them got them in their current situation, all free, all paid by you 84 00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:03.040 and me. Dave, you are not a dick, except when you call 85 00:06:03.079 --> 00:06:08.120 my girl Mary Joe Copeland old bag. That's the ones I'm married, Joe 86 00:06:08.199 --> 00:06:14.519 Copeland. I'm here with sharing and caring hand. I'm here on your TV 87 00:06:14.720 --> 00:06:18.199 every Christmas, and I'm dancing with young people on this video that makes me 88 00:06:18.279 --> 00:06:24.519 look so cute. Mary? Is that you God? She does good work? 89 00:06:24.560 --> 00:06:28.040 But whatever, anyway, we should all feel this way. We should 90 00:06:28.040 --> 00:06:32.480 be contributing to society in any way that we can. Those facing hardship have 91 00:06:32.639 --> 00:06:35.360 so many options to get the help they need and can be met by some 92 00:06:35.399 --> 00:06:40.360 of the most amazing kind people. Trust me, these agencies care about people 93 00:06:40.720 --> 00:06:44.319 and are trying their very best to give them any of the help they need. 94 00:06:44.639 --> 00:06:48.560 I've seen it I live it every day. Rant over all. Right, 95 00:06:48.959 --> 00:06:54.800 that's interesting because she was so Yeah, she was so passionate about helping 96 00:06:54.800 --> 00:06:58.399 people that live in poverty that that's what she does now. But she says, 97 00:06:58.399 --> 00:07:00.759 fuck, you don't steal. It's like she really does. And it's 98 00:07:00.800 --> 00:07:03.720 like I totally agree, so and there, and I think that's true. 99 00:07:03.759 --> 00:07:08.319 And I don't claim to know that much about it. I know that there 100 00:07:08.360 --> 00:07:13.079 are many many agencies. So I will go ahead and be a make a 101 00:07:14.199 --> 00:07:20.920 guess an observation that if you are a food poor, then you're not using 102 00:07:20.920 --> 00:07:25.639 the resources that are around you unless you don't have the resources around you, 103 00:07:25.680 --> 00:07:29.399 because you might be in like a food desert, like where the food that 104 00:07:29.439 --> 00:07:33.319 you need are the especially like the accessible food like shelves and stuff that you 105 00:07:33.360 --> 00:07:36.160 need aren't near you. Like where where would that be? I'm well, 106 00:07:36.199 --> 00:07:40.240 I'm just like, what if you're in a rural area and you don't have 107 00:07:40.279 --> 00:07:44.319 a way of transporporting yourself to a food shelf, so you can't get there, 108 00:07:44.360 --> 00:07:46.920 so you're that's that's like a food desert, is that you just don't 109 00:07:46.920 --> 00:07:53.480 have like the availability of cheap or free food near you. I guess I 110 00:07:53.519 --> 00:07:56.519 think about the show made on Netflix. When I hear certain things like this, 111 00:07:56.639 --> 00:07:58.879 and I know you watched it too, Dave, because we had someone 112 00:07:58.920 --> 00:08:01.839 on to talk after. I was about a woman who was in a domestic 113 00:08:01.879 --> 00:08:05.720 abuse situation. She had, I mean, she's basically brainwashed to like stay 114 00:08:05.720 --> 00:08:09.120 home with their kid and stuff, so she didn't have a job. She 115 00:08:09.160 --> 00:08:11.399 had like no ability to get a job because she had like no resume whatever. 116 00:08:11.839 --> 00:08:16.160 And when she left that situation, like the resources for her to get 117 00:08:16.160 --> 00:08:20.279 a job were very minimal. And I know she went to like food shelves 118 00:08:20.279 --> 00:08:22.040 and stuff, and she got into a shelter at some point, But it 119 00:08:22.120 --> 00:08:26.360 was really like an eye opener for me to see how difficult it is to 120 00:08:26.439 --> 00:08:30.160 leave like such a bad situation and how hard it was still for her to 121 00:08:30.199 --> 00:08:33.519 get herself into a right situation when she was going to these women's shelters and 122 00:08:33.519 --> 00:08:37.519 stuff like, it was still very hard. So I don't think that stealing's 123 00:08:37.559 --> 00:08:41.919 great and everything. I totally understand that, but I do feel like, 124 00:08:41.519 --> 00:08:45.399 I mean, I shouldn't speak because this person who emailed then literally works in 125 00:08:45.399 --> 00:08:48.159 the system. But watching that show, and granted it is entertainment, so 126 00:08:48.200 --> 00:08:52.200 I don't know how much is exaggerated. Did open my eyes a little bit 127 00:08:52.240 --> 00:08:54.080 to how hard it is to get what you need. I'm going to guess 128 00:08:54.120 --> 00:09:01.200 that there are probably a few people who justify their steam and maybe they think 129 00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:05.039 that it is justified. She does not think it's justified. But I'm gonna 130 00:09:05.039 --> 00:09:09.279 guess that just like most people that you see begging for money on a street 131 00:09:09.279 --> 00:09:13.879 corner could go get a job if they wanted to, but then they would 132 00:09:13.960 --> 00:09:18.799 have to work a schedule, be responsible, and pay taxes, and maybe 133 00:09:18.840 --> 00:09:20.840 not make as much as they do begging on a street corner. I think 134 00:09:20.879 --> 00:09:26.360 the same thing is probably most of the people that are stealing are doing it 135 00:09:26.399 --> 00:09:30.559 because they don't want to go to the other sources, right, And I 136 00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:33.879 totally agree with you. I think that there's really shitty human beings out there 137 00:09:33.919 --> 00:09:37.000 who probably do not need money on the street corner, and that's just what 138 00:09:37.039 --> 00:09:39.080 they do. I totally agree with you. I do not give people money 139 00:09:39.080 --> 00:09:41.480 on the street corner. I am like, I don't either, Yeah, 140 00:09:41.519 --> 00:09:45.080 I just give them. I don't I don't make eye contact. Yeah. 141 00:09:45.120 --> 00:09:48.000 I was on the motorcycle the other day and this is one that I just 142 00:09:48.320 --> 00:09:50.480 fucking hate to see it. Was a family. They had set up a 143 00:09:50.519 --> 00:09:56.120 little umbrella ish tent to sit under the tent, and mom and a couple 144 00:09:56.200 --> 00:09:58.440 of three dirty babies are sitting under the They weren't dirty. I didn't look, 145 00:09:58.480 --> 00:10:01.519 but they were none of the umbrella tent. And Dad's got a sign 146 00:10:01.919 --> 00:10:05.759 and I didn't read it, and he waved at me, and I didn't 147 00:10:05.759 --> 00:10:07.679 wait back, because it's like, man, is this the best you can 148 00:10:07.720 --> 00:10:11.759 do for your family? I mean, there's got to be something. Go 149 00:10:11.879 --> 00:10:15.720 to some agency that will help you. There's got to be And if I'm 150 00:10:15.759 --> 00:10:18.679 wrong, let me know if there's nowhere for these people to turn right. 151 00:10:20.039 --> 00:10:24.480 Yeah, I think if I was a parent in that situation, I would 152 00:10:24.840 --> 00:10:30.279 try to do something better for my family then sit under an umbrella tent holding 153 00:10:30.279 --> 00:10:33.080 the cardboard sign. Yeah, I mean I agree. I saw a family, 154 00:10:33.240 --> 00:10:35.759 like just a couple weeks ago, sitting on a corner and I like, 155 00:10:35.879 --> 00:10:39.360 immediately my heart hurt because had a baby that was probably under one years 156 00:10:39.360 --> 00:10:41.840 old, and it was mom and dad, and I was like that poor 157 00:10:41.879 --> 00:10:43.120 baby. It was hot out. And Andrew's in the car with me and 158 00:10:43.159 --> 00:10:48.240 he goes John like, look at them, they look very clean. They 159 00:10:48.279 --> 00:10:52.559 don't really look like they've been living under a bridge somewhere. They probably live 160 00:10:52.559 --> 00:10:56.559 in that apartment across the street. And Andrew is he does give money to 161 00:10:56.559 --> 00:11:00.679 people and stuff like he's very I don't know giving in that way, but 162 00:11:00.759 --> 00:11:03.039 he was like, ah, I feel like they probably live across the street, 163 00:11:03.159 --> 00:11:05.799 Like look how clean they are. Whatever. Well, I think we've 164 00:11:05.840 --> 00:11:09.000 all been burned. I told you this story a couple of months ago. 165 00:11:09.039 --> 00:11:13.039 I'm in Colorado in a big major grocery store, their version of cub and 166 00:11:13.399 --> 00:11:16.240 I'm back by the frozen foods, dairy whatever, and a woman who's not 167 00:11:16.320 --> 00:11:20.639 from America originally by her accent, she said, excuse me, sir, 168 00:11:20.759 --> 00:11:24.799 can you help me pay for some groceries? And I firmly said no. 169 00:11:26.240 --> 00:11:28.840 And then about fifteen seconds later, I thought, man, I've heard about 170 00:11:28.840 --> 00:11:35.679 people like this who they don't have any money for food and they've got a 171 00:11:35.759 --> 00:11:37.080 kid. And I thought, man, I've got an abundance. I am 172 00:11:37.080 --> 00:11:41.679 fortunate enough that I have an abundance of money. I'm not rich, but 173 00:11:41.720 --> 00:11:43.000 I've got money that I could afford to give her. So I had one 174 00:11:43.080 --> 00:11:46.799 hundred dollars bill in my pocket. I pulled it out. I gave it 175 00:11:46.840 --> 00:11:52.480 to her, and one of the things that I noticed that she didn't look 176 00:11:52.559 --> 00:11:56.879 at it. And I gave her a hundred, and I thought that she 177 00:11:56.960 --> 00:12:00.720 would be like, Wow, this paid for my whole carter close to it 178 00:12:00.960 --> 00:12:03.639 and this is great, And I thought she didn't even look at it. 179 00:12:03.720 --> 00:12:09.279 She seemed very grateful. Two things I heard when I got back that this 180 00:12:09.399 --> 00:12:11.159 is a common scam. They do it in grocery stores, they get kicked 181 00:12:11.159 --> 00:12:13.559 out. It's a very common scam. So I felt like a dumbass, 182 00:12:13.559 --> 00:12:18.360 and it was angry also, And then I thought there are people who will 183 00:12:18.440 --> 00:12:22.720 force people like that to go to the grocery store, not to collect money 184 00:12:22.759 --> 00:12:28.240 for themselves, but to collect money for whatever bad group of people there are. 185 00:12:28.559 --> 00:12:31.679 So she didn't care that I was giving her a hundred because it wasn't 186 00:12:31.720 --> 00:12:33.600 going to her anyway. Sure, I feel like there's a lot of bad 187 00:12:33.639 --> 00:12:37.360 actors where like they'll ruin it for the rest of the people. Well that's 188 00:12:37.399 --> 00:12:41.600 the way life is, yes, And that's why we have, you know, 189 00:12:41.480 --> 00:12:46.039 safety caps on medicine bottles because you and I would never poison a bottle 190 00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:50.039 of medicine or a bottle of contact solution. But one person and a million 191 00:12:50.159 --> 00:12:54.639 would do it, and that it's like TSA. We are never going to 192 00:12:54.720 --> 00:13:00.399 try to do something at TSA that we shouldn't do, but one motherfucker is 193 00:13:00.440 --> 00:13:03.480 going to try to do it. That's why we all have to go through 194 00:13:03.600 --> 00:13:07.919 TSA bad actors. Yeah, yeah, but though I will say I disagree 195 00:13:07.919 --> 00:13:11.480 with like not making eye contact with the people on the on the street because 196 00:13:13.039 --> 00:13:16.679 they're still people and I don't I don't want to treat anyone like they're below 197 00:13:16.759 --> 00:13:20.200 me, because I mean, we're all just like kind of like that. 198 00:13:20.200 --> 00:13:24.639 That's why you don't make eye contact. You don't make eye contact because you 199 00:13:24.639 --> 00:13:26.799 feel bad in a way that you're not giving them money. That's why I 200 00:13:26.799 --> 00:13:30.600 don't make eye contact, Like I understood that is, you don't make eye 201 00:13:30.639 --> 00:13:33.159 contact because these are why are these people asking for money on the side of 202 00:13:33.159 --> 00:13:37.320 the street. No, I don't want to form any kind of like connection. 203 00:13:37.600 --> 00:13:39.080 Yeah, that's for me, Like I just don't want them to come 204 00:13:39.120 --> 00:13:43.279 up and start talking to me and then me having to be like, sorry, 205 00:13:43.399 --> 00:13:46.679 I'm not giving you any money. That's why I don't have a nice 206 00:13:46.879 --> 00:13:50.039 day and I don't know enjoy the weather. I don't know I always I 207 00:13:50.039 --> 00:13:52.679 always say something to them. I rarely give them anything unless I have food 208 00:13:52.679 --> 00:13:56.679 in my car, and then I'll give them food. But like I mean, 209 00:13:56.840 --> 00:14:01.279 sometimes I feel like for some of those people, that might be the 210 00:14:01.320 --> 00:14:05.879 option for them, even if like there are other options around. Like I 211 00:14:05.919 --> 00:14:07.120 mean, we all grow up seeing those people on the side of the road 212 00:14:07.159 --> 00:14:09.440 with a sign, So like if that's what you see in that you're like, 213 00:14:09.480 --> 00:14:13.279 Okay, that's how I can get some money, then you're gonna copy 214 00:14:13.320 --> 00:14:18.360 it, even if like it's not the best necessarily way to do it. 215 00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:22.039 Like you said, Jenny, like the system is really hard to get into 216 00:14:22.159 --> 00:14:26.840 and to like benefit from, I believe, and maybe this email put the 217 00:14:26.840 --> 00:14:30.840 person who emailed can like verify, but I think it's like harder to get 218 00:14:30.879 --> 00:14:33.480 yourself out of it than we know. I think it's true. And I 219 00:14:33.480 --> 00:14:37.559 think that one of the things that I have And this maybe sounds like you're 220 00:14:37.679 --> 00:14:43.120 privileged, old white guy. Don't get into a situation that you are going 221 00:14:43.200 --> 00:14:46.320 to regret later. In other words, if you see a red flag from 222 00:14:46.399 --> 00:14:50.159 this guy that you've been dating, get out before you get in your ear 223 00:14:50.200 --> 00:14:52.600 said than done either well, and I think that's true. If you think 224 00:14:52.600 --> 00:14:56.720 that. I mean the I just read an article from a woman who has 225 00:14:56.879 --> 00:15:01.360 tracked abuse and serial killers here in entire career. She said, you have 226 00:15:01.480 --> 00:15:05.840 a gift, and you've heard of this book too, the Gift of fear. 227 00:15:05.600 --> 00:15:11.000 It's your gut will tell you something's not right, something's not right. 228 00:15:11.039 --> 00:15:15.480 And if you get that vibe from a guy, then get out before it 229 00:15:15.519 --> 00:15:20.039 becomes dangerous. Also, don't find yourself, you know, don't spend your 230 00:15:20.039 --> 00:15:22.799 twenties drinking and partying, because then all of a sudden, you're going to 231 00:15:22.840 --> 00:15:24.879 be thirty and you're not going to have an education and you're not going to 232 00:15:24.919 --> 00:15:28.039 be able to and if you have a couple of kids, then you're really 233 00:15:28.039 --> 00:15:31.320 going to be screwed. Now, this comes from somebody who came from nothing. 234 00:15:31.360 --> 00:15:33.600 We had no money, I didn't know anybody in the business. I 235 00:15:33.679 --> 00:15:37.519 worked hard to get where I am. But at the same time, I 236 00:15:37.559 --> 00:15:41.600 am a white guy in a white culture who definitely did have an advantage. 237 00:15:43.080 --> 00:15:46.480 So I can kind of see it both ways. But what I'm going to 238 00:15:46.519 --> 00:15:48.759 do from now on? Now here we go, Yeah, what what do 239 00:15:48.799 --> 00:15:54.000 you mean? You know, set something up? And what are you going 240 00:15:54.080 --> 00:15:56.480 to do from now on? Hand now coupons. Okay, yeah, coupons 241 00:15:56.639 --> 00:16:00.519 hand to the tator coupons that we got top potato, could pot Yeah. 242 00:16:00.840 --> 00:16:03.120 So no, I'm just gonna give them a tub of top potato. Oh, 243 00:16:03.639 --> 00:16:07.200 because who doesn't love top potato just to eat it out of the container. 244 00:16:07.440 --> 00:16:11.360 Pa'm gonna buy them everything, Jenny, Well, gosh, at least 245 00:16:11.360 --> 00:16:15.480 buy them some potato chips and buying everything for these people. Just buy a 246 00:16:15.519 --> 00:16:18.200 box of granola bars. That's what I do. Buy a box of granola 247 00:16:18.200 --> 00:16:19.279 bars and be like, want a granola bar? Are you? Are you 248 00:16:19.320 --> 00:16:22.639 serious? Yeah? And they take it yeah, okay, and then I 249 00:16:22.639 --> 00:16:25.879 say, here you go, and then you gave them something. One you 250 00:16:25.879 --> 00:16:27.399 look at a person who is a person who's going through a hard time, 251 00:16:27.639 --> 00:16:30.879 probably maybe, and then they have a granola bar so they can eat. 252 00:16:32.840 --> 00:16:37.639 See you, the world needs people like you, and it needs people like 253 00:16:37.720 --> 00:16:41.320 me. It does crab asses. No, that's funny, that was funny. 254 00:16:41.399 --> 00:16:45.240 You could say that. But I think if everybody was like you, 255 00:16:45.039 --> 00:16:51.799 then everybody would take advantage of people like you. Sure, if everybody was 256 00:16:51.960 --> 00:16:56.519 like me, i'd be everybody be a crab ass, you know what I 257 00:16:56.600 --> 00:16:59.559 mean. But at least you'd be responsible for yourself. So I think that 258 00:16:59.600 --> 00:17:03.159 the world needs people like you, and it needs people like me. And 259 00:17:03.159 --> 00:17:07.079 this is what we don't realize in this country is we need every point of 260 00:17:07.160 --> 00:17:11.079 view. I mean, some are way out there and not good. I 261 00:17:11.240 --> 00:17:15.960 get that. But if everybody agreed that this should happen this way all the 262 00:17:15.000 --> 00:17:21.640 time, that is called a dictatorship, I believe. I think it's a 263 00:17:21.680 --> 00:17:25.680 dictatorship. If you are forced to believe like Adolf Hitler, and if you 264 00:17:25.759 --> 00:17:29.880 don't believe like Adolf Hitler or Stalin, that is a dictatorship and you will 265 00:17:29.920 --> 00:17:33.319 be taken out and you will be shot and killed. So we've got to 266 00:17:33.319 --> 00:17:37.400 have people that believe both ways, and if we don't, then we're in 267 00:17:37.440 --> 00:17:41.519 a really dangerous situation. Does nobody? Does anybody agree? I agree? 268 00:17:41.599 --> 00:17:48.000 I nobody. We've talked about this before, like this euphoric community world that 269 00:17:48.039 --> 00:17:52.559 people like strive to have and stuff utopian. Sorry, that's what I meant, 270 00:17:52.960 --> 00:17:56.599 and obviously that's unattainable. But yeah, I mean I agree, everyone's 271 00:17:56.640 --> 00:18:00.920 different. The world goes by well well, I mean it's harder for some 272 00:18:00.960 --> 00:18:06.759 people. But yeah, okay, next one, changing the subject completely. 273 00:18:06.799 --> 00:18:11.799 That was really interesting if you have any thoughts on that, send your email. 274 00:18:11.200 --> 00:18:15.000 Next one Brie, who is our friend, our secretary. She sends 275 00:18:15.039 --> 00:18:18.519 out staff writer sticker. She says, it's me. I'm sitting in a 276 00:18:18.599 --> 00:18:25.880 hospital bed, and she did say she had surgery. She wrote in an 277 00:18:25.920 --> 00:18:30.400 ambulance yesterday, first ever ride in an ambulance. She's thirty seven. And 278 00:18:30.680 --> 00:18:33.720 we are not asking what's wrong with Brie, but I think she's got some, 279 00:18:33.799 --> 00:18:37.319 you know, problems that are more than like they're They're different than like 280 00:18:37.319 --> 00:18:40.400 a broken leg or a back problem. I'm gonna guess there are some internal 281 00:18:40.759 --> 00:18:45.440 belly problems or something like that. I was just thinking a good question might 282 00:18:45.480 --> 00:18:48.359 be, have you any of you ever had to write an ambulance before? 283 00:18:48.799 --> 00:18:51.599 And if so, why, if you're comfortable sharing, My hope is none 284 00:18:51.640 --> 00:18:55.319 of you, but for content's sake, maybe not Secretary Bri. I'll go 285 00:18:55.440 --> 00:19:00.599 first. I was in Dayton, Ohio five ish years ago, and I'm 286 00:19:00.680 --> 00:19:06.319 sitting at the bar. I'm down there by myself to see the big airplane 287 00:19:06.400 --> 00:19:10.680 museum. They have a huge airplane museum. It's fucking cool and I love 288 00:19:10.720 --> 00:19:14.160 airplanes. And so I was down there for two days and I'm sitting at 289 00:19:14.160 --> 00:19:15.519 the bar at the hotel, and I'm like, you know, probably drinking, 290 00:19:15.720 --> 00:19:18.079 and like, you know, not there just to drink, but having 291 00:19:18.119 --> 00:19:22.519 dinner and sitting at the bar, and my Apple Watch says your pulse rate 292 00:19:22.599 --> 00:19:27.359 is really high and you're not doing anything. And then it said it again, 293 00:19:27.400 --> 00:19:30.759 your pulse rate is really high and you're not doing anything. So I 294 00:19:30.799 --> 00:19:34.279 called my friend Wendy, and I started to feel like a little nervous about 295 00:19:34.319 --> 00:19:37.960 this one. Yeah, She's like, have some gator raid and go lay 296 00:19:37.960 --> 00:19:42.119 down. Didn't do anything. So I drove myself to the minute clinic or 297 00:19:42.119 --> 00:19:45.680 the urgent care or whatever, and they were very concerned. They're like, 298 00:19:45.839 --> 00:19:51.079 yeah, this should not be happening. We've already called the squad. And 299 00:19:51.119 --> 00:19:53.119 when she said she didn't say ambulance, she said squad. I'll never forget 300 00:19:53.119 --> 00:19:56.599 it. So I rode to the hospital. They checked up on everything. 301 00:19:56.839 --> 00:20:00.799 It was an anomaly. Nobody knows why it happened. I spent like five 302 00:20:00.839 --> 00:20:06.319 hours in the hospital in Dayton, Ohio. And then another time I just 303 00:20:06.359 --> 00:20:08.240 felt this is a couple of years ago, about two or three years ago, 304 00:20:08.400 --> 00:20:11.440 I just felt really dizzy, woozy, and I felt like it was 305 00:20:11.440 --> 00:20:14.519 going to pass out, and I was really worried that I couldn't even walk, 306 00:20:15.119 --> 00:20:17.839 so I called no, I said, Susan helped me out. What 307 00:20:17.839 --> 00:20:19.480 if I do? She called nine one one because she wasn't around, and 308 00:20:19.519 --> 00:20:23.720 the ambulance came by and took me down to the hospital over here. And 309 00:20:25.400 --> 00:20:29.160 here's a little thing that you don't know. When you get to the hospital 310 00:20:29.160 --> 00:20:32.000 in an ambulance, they don't treat you right away. They put you in 311 00:20:32.000 --> 00:20:36.039 the waiting room. You wait eleven hours like everybody else. They should have 312 00:20:36.039 --> 00:20:38.920 just driven in anyway. Any ambulance stories, Bailey at all, I do 313 00:20:40.039 --> 00:20:41.960 not. I rode in a fast car with my friends on the way to 314 00:20:41.960 --> 00:20:45.839 a hospital when I had a blood clot. Oh yikes, that was it. 315 00:20:45.039 --> 00:20:48.599 That's essentially you had a blood clot. I had it in college in 316 00:20:48.640 --> 00:20:52.039 my leg and you're okay, I'm fine, didn't die. I didn't die, 317 00:20:52.200 --> 00:20:55.160 but I had a bad Charlie horse for a week and then I thought, 318 00:20:55.240 --> 00:20:57.400 this doesn't seem right. It was nikes, yeah, Jenny, nothing 319 00:20:57.400 --> 00:21:00.559 for me. Just my little sister. When we were in York County, 320 00:21:00.680 --> 00:21:03.200 she hit her head on a tree so on a trail when we were biking 321 00:21:03.240 --> 00:21:07.039 to a beach. Oh my god. So she had to ride in one 322 00:21:07.119 --> 00:21:10.200 with my mom, and then my dad took me and my other sister in 323 00:21:10.240 --> 00:21:11.880 the car. So that's the only experience I kind of have with it. 324 00:21:12.160 --> 00:21:15.240 That's going to wrap it up for the Minnesota Goodbye.
