WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:04.120 It's the Minnesota Goodbye, good morning, and it's Jenny and Drake today. 2 00:00:05.160 --> 00:00:09.759 Drake was gone in Wisconsin this past week, well a little more than like 3 00:00:09.839 --> 00:00:11.880 just the weekend. You were there for a few extra days. Yeah. 4 00:00:12.039 --> 00:00:15.519 Yeah, I went back on Wednesday just kind of like visit some family, 5 00:00:15.839 --> 00:00:20.359 and we had set it up where there was this like city close to Green 6 00:00:20.399 --> 00:00:24.519 Bay. It's called New London, and every year they kind of like rebranded 7 00:00:24.719 --> 00:00:28.800 Saint Patti's thing. They renamed the city New Dublin and it's just like all 8 00:00:28.839 --> 00:00:32.679 Saint Patrick themed. Really fun, did all that and it was a good 9 00:00:32.679 --> 00:00:37.520 time, but I wanted to bring up something. I fumbled the bag two 10 00:00:37.560 --> 00:00:41.920 times, Jenny, like with a guy. Okay, I just want to 11 00:00:41.960 --> 00:00:44.280 make sure I understand what you're talking about, because you and your gen z 12 00:00:44.479 --> 00:00:47.159 terms. I'm like, what are you fumbling? Fumbling the bag like your 13 00:00:47.159 --> 00:00:49.399 double bag at the gym, Like what do you mean? I'm just gonna 14 00:00:49.640 --> 00:00:52.119 understand what it means. But okay, what happened the first and this is 15 00:00:52.159 --> 00:00:54.840 gonna get messy. You might make fun of me. But there was a 16 00:00:55.200 --> 00:00:59.479 strike guy that I had a crush on in high school and I had saw 17 00:00:59.520 --> 00:01:02.719 him at the because I honestly I had like a mini reunion with a bunch 18 00:01:02.759 --> 00:01:04.519 of people I went to school with on Saturday night because we were not bar 19 00:01:04.560 --> 00:01:08.719 hopping and whatnot. And there was the guy here that I had a massive 20 00:01:10.079 --> 00:01:15.560 crush on, and I was like trying to like hint at wanting to like 21 00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:19.319 hook up with him. He wasn't getting like any of the hints. He 22 00:01:19.439 --> 00:01:22.640 is definitely straight, but I always kind of got the vibe that he was 23 00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:25.319 in the closet a little bit, so like maybe if I could, you 24 00:01:25.319 --> 00:01:29.359 know, be nonchalant about it and not be like super expressive, maybe he 25 00:01:29.359 --> 00:01:32.680 would get the hint. He didn't get the hints, and then like I 26 00:01:32.760 --> 00:01:34.480 could have been a little bit more aggressive with it, but I didn't, 27 00:01:34.959 --> 00:01:38.640 so I one hundred percent fumbled the bag there. I kind of embarrassed myself 28 00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:42.760 because I like I cracked a joke about I don't even know what I said, 29 00:01:42.760 --> 00:01:46.920 but I said something about wanting to hook up in like kind of like 30 00:01:46.959 --> 00:01:49.400 a joky way, and he didn't laugh, and then we was just like 31 00:01:49.719 --> 00:01:52.000 kind of awkward. After that, I was like, oh, no, 32 00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:57.439 I so screwed. I screwed it up so bad. So there was that 33 00:01:57.719 --> 00:02:00.959 okay. And then on the way home yesterday, I was driving back from 34 00:02:00.959 --> 00:02:04.879 Green Bay and I had stopped at this like I don't even know what town 35 00:02:04.959 --> 00:02:07.639 it was. It was middle of nowhere, Wisconsin, and I was pumping 36 00:02:07.719 --> 00:02:13.000 gas, and out of like the corner of my eye, there was this 37 00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:21.840 foin such a foint gentleman in a military uniform, and he walked into the 38 00:02:21.840 --> 00:02:27.080 gas station and I literally I canceled the payment on the pump because I'd paid 39 00:02:27.080 --> 00:02:30.639 with a card so I wouldn't have to go inside. Literally canceled it and 40 00:02:30.759 --> 00:02:32.960 redid it so that they would have to go inside and pay it. And 41 00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:37.599 I saw him and we locked eyes for a second. I was like, 42 00:02:37.599 --> 00:02:40.360 oh, this is it, this is it. But I puss it out. 43 00:02:40.599 --> 00:02:44.199 I literally I didn't. I didn't go out. I didn't ask for 44 00:02:44.280 --> 00:02:47.639 like a Snapchat or an Instagram. But he was so fine, and I'm 45 00:02:47.759 --> 00:02:53.479 so mad that I didn't like go and just ask. Oh my gosh, 46 00:02:53.560 --> 00:02:54.639 I was so mad at myself. I left. I was like, I 47 00:02:54.680 --> 00:02:59.120 cannot believe I did not go talk to him, Okay, the guy at 48 00:02:59.120 --> 00:03:01.639 the gas station, And I feel like, you don't have a good shot 49 00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:07.080 of that. I don't work it out. But hometown, I know there's 50 00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:10.240 still opportunity there maybe, But I'm so upset with myself. I was so 51 00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:14.960 mad because he was and he was so hot. He was like everything I 52 00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:20.039 wanted in a man. It's just he was so hot. I just don't 53 00:03:21.039 --> 00:03:24.199 I if I ever found myself to be single again, I do not foresee 54 00:03:24.199 --> 00:03:28.639 that happening. I don't know how I would handle being out in public and 55 00:03:28.680 --> 00:03:30.599 trying to hit on anyone, Like I don't think I have that in me 56 00:03:30.680 --> 00:03:34.240 anymore. Like I would not be able to see a hot person at the 57 00:03:34.240 --> 00:03:37.439 gas station and be like, oh, I'm gonna go like open cup, 58 00:03:37.800 --> 00:03:42.080 open a cup, open a conversation with that. Like it's just it's so 59 00:03:42.680 --> 00:03:46.000 such a foreign concept to me. So I have literally no advice, no 60 00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:49.400 tips, no nothing other than like, just get in there and do it 61 00:03:49.439 --> 00:03:53.439 next time. Just go. Well, the scary thing about doing that is 62 00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:57.159 there is this is the math that I have on It is, especially in 63 00:03:57.199 --> 00:04:00.719 a small town like that, chances are they're stray. Okay, they're probably 64 00:04:00.719 --> 00:04:04.199 not gay. It is like night when you go up to somebody you don't 65 00:04:04.199 --> 00:04:08.479 know, it is about a ninety percent chance that they are straight. Ten 66 00:04:08.520 --> 00:04:13.080 percent chance that they are into you know, they're they're playing the same team 67 00:04:13.080 --> 00:04:15.240 as you. You know, So that was going on in my head as 68 00:04:15.279 --> 00:04:18.759 well as like I don't want to go up there and try and make a 69 00:04:18.839 --> 00:04:23.079 move and have them just like punch me in the face or something, you 70 00:04:23.160 --> 00:04:26.720 know what I'm saying, or get like hate crimed because like a and I 71 00:04:26.800 --> 00:04:29.519 hate that that's even like a thought that has to come across your mind. 72 00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:33.120 But I understand where you're coming from with that. So that was my little 73 00:04:33.160 --> 00:04:38.319 misadventures, my fumble of the bags this weekend. So I didn't get any 74 00:04:38.360 --> 00:04:42.240 action, unfortunately. I'm sorry. It's okay, there's always next weekend. 75 00:04:43.160 --> 00:04:46.600 True true that I have some faith in you for next Okay, we don't 76 00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:49.319 have too many emails, but we'll get to the ones that we have so 77 00:04:49.480 --> 00:04:53.040 far. This person says, Hey, guys, I was just hoping to 78 00:04:53.079 --> 00:04:55.240 find out if there was going to be a podcast for the show. The 79 00:04:55.279 --> 00:04:58.439 day after Girls' Night Out. I'm currently listening to the Minnesota Goodbye, but 80 00:04:58.480 --> 00:05:00.680 the show isn't up any who. I hope you are all having a wonderful 81 00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:03.439 week. Love you guys. So we didn't do one that day, because 82 00:05:03.439 --> 00:05:08.279 we actually did Girl Group Friday that day where we played girl group songs all 83 00:05:08.319 --> 00:05:12.519 day, and we can't do a podcast of music, so that is why 84 00:05:12.560 --> 00:05:15.560 there is not one. Even if we could chop up a little bit of 85 00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:18.519 it, it wouldn't have been much. Did you we did post like something, 86 00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:21.920 I posted a couple of different like there was like two dave of dirts 87 00:05:21.959 --> 00:05:25.560 and like you can't make a stuff I got posted. But yeah, other 88 00:05:25.639 --> 00:05:29.199 than that, did you label them like six am hour just did a no. 89 00:05:29.920 --> 00:05:32.160 Yeah, we agreed on just doing like just one. We posted like 90 00:05:32.240 --> 00:05:35.759 two best ofs from that week, and then there was one that was just 91 00:05:35.759 --> 00:05:38.839 like I don't even know what I tiled it it. I think it was 92 00:05:38.879 --> 00:05:42.360 literally Girl Group Friday. Yeah, and that's all it was. Okay, 93 00:05:42.439 --> 00:05:46.160 so that's your explanation there, So sorry about that. But we just we 94 00:05:46.199 --> 00:05:48.160 did a very different kind of show that day where we couldn't even come up 95 00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:51.040 with any content to put together in a podcast. So Drake didn't put up 96 00:05:51.079 --> 00:05:56.399 like a normal podcast because we didn't have that to put up. Moving on 97 00:05:56.519 --> 00:05:59.399 it, says David Jenny, Please don't say my name. I lived in 98 00:05:59.560 --> 00:06:01.959 Columbus someone day was here as a DJ and I moved to Minnesota and was 99 00:06:02.000 --> 00:06:05.120 there for more than twenty years. I've been a loyal listener and love you 100 00:06:05.160 --> 00:06:08.680 guys. I moved back to Columbus a few years ago, and I am 101 00:06:08.720 --> 00:06:11.920 so happy that you do the Minnesota goodbye. I feel like it allows me 102 00:06:12.000 --> 00:06:15.519 to keep the Minnesota connection. I am in my mid fifties and find that 103 00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:19.160 I get weepy when I watch some movies like Shawshank Redemption. No idea why 104 00:06:19.199 --> 00:06:23.639 I am so sensitive to this now? When I did? When? When 105 00:06:23.639 --> 00:06:27.360 did I turn into such a p word? They say, has this happened 106 00:06:27.360 --> 00:06:30.079 to you guys or other listeners? Thanks again for all that you do. 107 00:06:30.399 --> 00:06:34.199 And my address is a below for a staff writer sticker, and then it's 108 00:06:34.199 --> 00:06:36.839 to send me your Venmo name and I'll throw a few dollars in the pot. 109 00:06:38.000 --> 00:06:44.160 They say, Lick Dart, Lick Dart, Minnesotan at Hearts. I 110 00:06:44.199 --> 00:06:46.079 will send this along to Dave so he can get you a staff writer sticker. 111 00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:51.800 I mean, I have my days where I get very emotional about things. 112 00:06:51.920 --> 00:06:55.160 And I was just watching a show over the weekend and I don't want 113 00:06:55.199 --> 00:06:59.439 to say what it is because someone it's a newer show on Netflix, and 114 00:06:59.439 --> 00:07:01.759 someone kind of ruined it for me because they told me I was going to 115 00:07:01.800 --> 00:07:04.279 get emotional at the end, so I was like, great, someone dies. 116 00:07:04.639 --> 00:07:08.199 Like I knew that that's what was going to happen. So I'm not 117 00:07:08.199 --> 00:07:12.839 going to say what show it was, but I was bawling like a baby 118 00:07:12.879 --> 00:07:14.639 watching it. I was so sad, and I was like, oh my 119 00:07:14.680 --> 00:07:16.920 gosh, he is a character, like they died. It's a character on 120 00:07:16.920 --> 00:07:21.079 a TV show, you know. So I think that for me it probably 121 00:07:21.120 --> 00:07:25.920 has gotten a little bit worse as I've gotten older, But I'll never forget 122 00:07:25.959 --> 00:07:30.600 as a child going to the movie theater and watching Leelo and Stitch and bawling 123 00:07:30.800 --> 00:07:32.800 when I thought that they were going to like take Stitch away from everyone, 124 00:07:33.319 --> 00:07:36.079 and oh my gosh, I was crying so bad and I was trying to 125 00:07:36.160 --> 00:07:39.040 hide it from my mom. She was sitting right next to me. I 126 00:07:39.040 --> 00:07:42.000 was like, I'm so embarrassed right now, but I cried so hard during 127 00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:44.920 that movie. So maybe I've I've always been an emotional person. I think, 128 00:07:46.639 --> 00:07:49.920 yeah, talk about one of the most heart wrenching movies. Oh my 129 00:07:49.959 --> 00:07:55.160 gosh, I was. I actually did cry a little bit this past weekend. 130 00:07:55.439 --> 00:07:58.160 There's a show on Netflix called Young Royals. It's like kind of like 131 00:07:58.279 --> 00:08:03.680 it's an LGBTQ show. It's Swedish, but it basically follows like these two 132 00:08:05.279 --> 00:08:07.920 guys that are like going to like I think it's like a college school in 133 00:08:07.959 --> 00:08:11.920 Sweden, and they fall in love and one of them is like in like 134 00:08:11.000 --> 00:08:15.959 the royal family, and it turns into like this whole like since he's in 135 00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:18.560 the royal family, he can't like date a guy. And it's good. 136 00:08:18.600 --> 00:08:22.680 But yeah, I was watching it because there was a new season, bawling 137 00:08:22.680 --> 00:08:26.680 my eyes out at one point this weekend, So yeah, I get it 138 00:08:26.879 --> 00:08:31.439 all right. Let me just make sure I keep this email to send off 139 00:08:31.480 --> 00:08:37.399 to Dave and then up next it this comes from Nikki. It says, 140 00:08:37.399 --> 00:08:39.879 Wow, I wanted to call in so bad on Friday about this email, 141 00:08:39.879 --> 00:08:43.200 but I live out of state. So we had an email about kids in 142 00:08:43.240 --> 00:08:48.240 sports and how it's gotten out of control, like with the amount of tournaments 143 00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:52.120 and the practices and the expenses and stuff like that. So it says, 144 00:08:52.159 --> 00:08:54.759 I am so happy to hear someone actually brought this up. Kudos to the 145 00:08:54.799 --> 00:08:58.559 emailer. The reason why she had to give a fake name is because the 146 00:08:58.600 --> 00:09:01.559 other family would use that again. I can't tell you how many times I 147 00:09:01.639 --> 00:09:05.960 complained with my kids when my kids played sports and it seemed as if I 148 00:09:07.000 --> 00:09:09.000 was always alone. Either they really did love it. Some of these parents 149 00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:13.519 are crazy or they would not admit they were miserable like me, for fear 150 00:09:13.559 --> 00:09:18.759 it would affect playtime. I live in Arizona and we play baseball all year 151 00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:22.759 round. My ex put my kids in club ball and it basically took over 152 00:09:22.840 --> 00:09:28.240 their whole childhood. Financially, he went bankrupt as I could not afford to 153 00:09:28.279 --> 00:09:31.879 help with it all. I could never take them on a vacation on my 154 00:09:31.919 --> 00:09:35.759 own as every holiday, weekend, etc. Was filled with baseball. Both 155 00:09:35.759 --> 00:09:39.360 my boys were burnt out and what did it get them nothing. My oldest 156 00:09:39.360 --> 00:09:41.480 stopped when he went to college, and my youngest plays in college while he's 157 00:09:41.519 --> 00:09:45.960 on the team at least, but did not get a scholarship for baseball. 158 00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:48.440 The entire time I would argue with my ex about the time and money suck 159 00:09:48.519 --> 00:09:52.759 it was, he would tell me I don't support them, that's what they 160 00:09:52.799 --> 00:09:56.240 want and this would help lead to scholarships. It his defense, that is 161 00:09:56.279 --> 00:10:00.919 how they sell it, and unfortunately, since everyone does. If you don't, 162 00:10:01.279 --> 00:10:03.919 you won't make the high school team. I have no problem with Little 163 00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:05.679 League in school ball, but the club stuff is too much. Again, 164 00:10:05.720 --> 00:10:09.440 I always felt so alone, like I was selfish for hitting my life having 165 00:10:09.440 --> 00:10:13.879 to revolve around baseball. So thank you as Morelda or I think it was 166 00:10:15.159 --> 00:10:18.279 she used the fake name of Esperanza or something like that. She used a 167 00:10:18.320 --> 00:10:22.600 very unique name, and that comes from NICKI, yeah, it's I mean, 168 00:10:22.639 --> 00:10:26.039 I am not a parent with kids in sports, and I did participate 169 00:10:26.080 --> 00:10:33.120 in sports myself growing up, but my parents were very restricted of what they 170 00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:37.240 could afford to have me do, to the point that I cried because I 171 00:10:37.279 --> 00:10:41.120 was on this traveling soccer team and we had a tournament up in the Twin 172 00:10:41.159 --> 00:10:43.799 Cities, and it was our only out of state tournament, so we would 173 00:10:43.799 --> 00:10:48.200 have had to spend the weekend up here, and my mom couldn't afford it. 174 00:10:48.559 --> 00:10:52.000 So I was really sad and I cried, and I was like I 175 00:10:52.080 --> 00:10:56.679 felt like a shame truthfully, that I was like the poor kid on the 176 00:10:56.720 --> 00:10:58.879 team who couldn't afford to go to this tournament when everyone else was going. 177 00:11:00.559 --> 00:11:03.279 Like it was really hard on me as a kid because I wanted to go 178 00:11:03.399 --> 00:11:07.279 so bad that my really good friend on the team her family worked it out 179 00:11:07.320 --> 00:11:11.000 so that I could come with them and stay in their hotel room, and 180 00:11:11.039 --> 00:11:13.240 like then my mom didn't have to come up buy a hotel room all that, 181 00:11:13.320 --> 00:11:16.919 and I think my mom gave them a little bit of money to help, 182 00:11:16.360 --> 00:11:20.039 but like that was only one tournament and my mom could not afford it. 183 00:11:20.120 --> 00:11:24.480 I can't imagine living this life of constantly going all the time to different, 184 00:11:24.759 --> 00:11:28.440 like different places. And I know, like not every tournament is like 185 00:11:28.480 --> 00:11:31.559 a situation where you have to stay overnight, but yeah, it's so expensive 186 00:11:31.600 --> 00:11:37.559 to have your children involved in activities like this. So I hear where you're 187 00:11:37.559 --> 00:11:41.480 coming from, Nikki. I mean it sounds like your ex just didn't have 188 00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:46.879 a good grasp on like reality of finances versus like the kids being in a 189 00:11:46.960 --> 00:11:52.919 sport. I don't know, so anyways, thanks for your email, Nikki. 190 00:11:52.279 --> 00:11:56.000 I forget. Did you play sports? No? I did, Like 191 00:11:56.279 --> 00:12:01.159 I did football, I did flag football, entry schools, some like baseball, 192 00:12:01.679 --> 00:12:05.480 and then the last one I did was like actual tackle football in sixth 193 00:12:05.559 --> 00:12:11.080 grade. But I was just I never really liked sports. I'll be honest, 194 00:12:11.120 --> 00:12:13.919 it just wasn't wasn't me. Yeah, I think it definitely was more 195 00:12:13.960 --> 00:12:18.000 of like a music artsy, fartsy type of kid when I was in school. 196 00:12:18.039 --> 00:12:20.039 So no, I never really never really got into it, but I 197 00:12:20.080 --> 00:12:22.799 had friends, like a lot of my friends were in sports, and it 198 00:12:22.919 --> 00:12:28.519 was like it got really annoying sometimes because they just every weekend they wouldn't be 199 00:12:28.559 --> 00:12:31.960 able to do anything because they were off going to go do a game somewhere 200 00:12:31.320 --> 00:12:35.080 or they I don't know, it was always something, so it was super 201 00:12:35.080 --> 00:12:39.039 annoying and I just like couldn't believe how busy they were. Yeah, yeah, 202 00:12:39.200 --> 00:12:43.159 it's wild. Okay, And then I think we just have one more 203 00:12:43.200 --> 00:12:46.519 email for today, so feel free to send us some emails please. This 204 00:12:46.559 --> 00:12:48.720 says, Hello, Dave Ryan Show crew, Please don't say my name. 205 00:12:48.759 --> 00:12:52.799 I wanted to give you the rundown on the Uber slash Lift situation. So 206 00:12:52.840 --> 00:12:56.960 we touched on this briefly on Friday morning. So this person says, basically, 207 00:12:56.960 --> 00:13:01.200 the Minneapolis City Council wanted to put an ordinance into place that raises wages 208 00:13:01.200 --> 00:13:05.399 for Uber and Lyft drivers. Cool, totally fair. Who wouldn't want that. 209 00:13:05.480 --> 00:13:09.600 However, the state legislature was in the process of doing an analysis report 210 00:13:09.639 --> 00:13:13.759 for what the wages should be statewide. A couple council members wanted to push 211 00:13:13.840 --> 00:13:16.720 the vote back a cycle to report to read the report since it was coming 212 00:13:16.759 --> 00:13:20.639 out the next day, but that got voted down, so the mayor vetoed 213 00:13:20.639 --> 00:13:24.960 it in the hopes that they could get could then use the report to make 214 00:13:24.000 --> 00:13:30.120 a more reasonable proposal in the ordinance. The wages that the ordinance proposes are 215 00:13:30.159 --> 00:13:35.480 significantly higher than the recommended wage increase in the state report. The mayor proposed 216 00:13:35.480 --> 00:13:39.679 a change to the ordinance that would bring the wages of these drivers up significantly, 217 00:13:39.759 --> 00:13:43.720 but would also keep Uber and Lyft in the city. The council decided 218 00:13:43.759 --> 00:13:46.840 to not listen to the report and move forward with their proposed ordinance, hence 219 00:13:46.879 --> 00:13:50.440 making it more likely that Uber and Lyft could actually pull out of driving in 220 00:13:50.480 --> 00:13:54.039 the city come May first. Hopefully that provides some context to the situation. 221 00:13:54.120 --> 00:13:58.360 Sincerely, a regular listener. I yeah, and what I'm hearing is they 222 00:13:58.399 --> 00:14:03.000 are pulling out, like they're pulling out of I mean, it's a Minneapolis 223 00:14:03.000 --> 00:14:05.879 thing, but I heard that they're not going to be servicing like the airport 224 00:14:05.000 --> 00:14:09.840 area either. Like I don't know if it's like, Okay, then maybe 225 00:14:09.879 --> 00:14:11.639 they'll work in Saint Paul's still like, I don't fully understand it, but 226 00:14:11.679 --> 00:14:16.759 I'm pretty positive that they decided they'll pull out, and I'll be honest, 227 00:14:16.799 --> 00:14:20.200 I don't follow this. This is like much more clarification on the situation from 228 00:14:20.200 --> 00:14:22.600 this person, but I haven't followed it enough to fully understand. I did 229 00:14:22.759 --> 00:14:26.679 know that the mayor had vetoed it, and then the city council like they 230 00:14:26.759 --> 00:14:33.200 voted that they overdid the veto whatever the wording is. But it's going to 231 00:14:33.279 --> 00:14:35.679 suck to not have uber and lifts. That's what I was going to say. 232 00:14:35.919 --> 00:14:39.879 What are we going to do? Yeah, just regular taxis or what 233 00:14:39.039 --> 00:14:43.120 I think we're going to have to. I don't know that there's another option. 234 00:14:43.279 --> 00:14:48.080 I think that once this happens, the city is going to realize what 235 00:14:48.159 --> 00:14:50.919 they did. But then it's like, how do they take it back? 236 00:14:50.360 --> 00:14:54.799 You know what I'm saying, because I'm pretty sure at the city council meeting 237 00:14:54.879 --> 00:14:58.440 whatever they had, there were drivers there that were like on the side of 238 00:14:58.440 --> 00:15:03.200 obviously with the city council proposed. But now it's like if Uber and Lyft 239 00:15:03.200 --> 00:15:07.519 are completely taking themselves out of the twin cities. Then those people don't have 240 00:15:07.600 --> 00:15:13.600 jobs. So what they just got like the go ahead on which was a 241 00:15:13.679 --> 00:15:18.320 higher wage, now they just don't even have a wage. So it's backfired, 242 00:15:18.399 --> 00:15:20.080 I think. And there's so many people like that's all they do. 243 00:15:20.360 --> 00:15:24.120 Yes, we have a lot of Uber and Lyft drivers that listen to the 244 00:15:24.120 --> 00:15:26.320 show and they'll call us in a lot like we've done so many like Uber 245 00:15:26.679 --> 00:15:31.519 Lyft driver horror stories and stuff like that. So I don't know. I 246 00:15:31.559 --> 00:15:35.960 feel like there's got to be something that's going to change. And this won't 247 00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:39.279 fully happen, but maybe it will happen at first, and then maybe they'll 248 00:15:39.279 --> 00:15:43.440 have to take something back or Uber left. He'll figure out something, but 249 00:15:43.399 --> 00:15:48.159 who knows. I mean, a business is set up to run based off 250 00:15:48.200 --> 00:15:54.200 of obviously finances and how much they pay people and stuff. And if Uber 251 00:15:54.240 --> 00:15:58.200 and Lyft are like, well, this goes against our business, like this 252 00:15:58.240 --> 00:16:00.919 is not how we function as a business, than like what are they supposed 253 00:16:00.919 --> 00:16:02.759 to do? They do have to pull out of the area. I do 254 00:16:02.840 --> 00:16:07.200 think Uber and Lyft are Honestly, I don't think they're the greatest in terms 255 00:16:07.279 --> 00:16:12.480 of, you know, treating people who work for them good, because what 256 00:16:12.519 --> 00:16:15.879 I've heard from Uber drivers is like, you know, they've been raising the 257 00:16:15.919 --> 00:16:21.480 prices the last couple of years, and like it's oh my gosh, we 258 00:16:21.559 --> 00:16:23.960 paid so much for ubers now compared to pre covid. I'd paid ten dollars 259 00:16:25.000 --> 00:16:27.879 for most of my Ubers around the Twins or around Minneapolis. Now it's at 260 00:16:27.960 --> 00:16:32.679 least like twenty plus for one Uber. Those drivers though, that have been 261 00:16:32.720 --> 00:16:34.759 doing it for years say they have not seen any of that extra Mondy Well, 262 00:16:34.799 --> 00:16:37.519 and that's what I think I've heard. I was like, well, 263 00:16:37.559 --> 00:16:41.320 where's all this money going to going to the company? Right? Yeah, 264 00:16:41.399 --> 00:16:45.559 I don't know. I mean it. I like hope for the best for 265 00:16:45.720 --> 00:16:51.240 both the Uber and Lyft drivers and everything, and for everyone using Uber and 266 00:16:51.320 --> 00:16:53.840 Lyft. I'm sure everything will hopefully get figured out, but it crossed. 267 00:16:55.320 --> 00:16:57.080 I guess we're gonna see. All right, Well, that's gonna be it 268 00:16:57.120 --> 00:17:00.679 for the Minnesota goodbye. Dave is just on vacation today and he's back the 269 00:17:00.720 --> 00:17:03.840 rest of the week.
