00:00:00.480 --> 00:00:08.759
Jury Duty, Jenny is Bad,
Hey a song for me? Hey?

2
00:00:08.759 --> 00:00:13.839
Hey? Anything else? Some like
Cartman, Jerry d d Jenny is back,

3
00:00:15.320 --> 00:00:20.000
Jenny Hi. We talked a lot
about your jury duty on the beginning

4
00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:25.120
of the show this morning. But
is there anything that you that stands out

5
00:00:25.160 --> 00:00:28.280
for the podcast that that you want
to share? And Jenny doesn't really want

6
00:00:28.280 --> 00:00:31.160
to talk about the case at exactly
what the charge was and the guilty verdict

7
00:00:31.239 --> 00:00:35.280
or the not guilty verdict or whatever
it was, but is there anything that

8
00:00:35.280 --> 00:00:38.240
you want to share? I would
just say that I think I had like

9
00:00:38.280 --> 00:00:42.799
a little bit more unique of anexperience
than what the actual process is because of

10
00:00:42.880 --> 00:00:47.520
having issues with like the ac and
technical difficulties and stuff like that, Because

11
00:00:47.799 --> 00:00:49.840
honestly, a lot of people were
like, well, it's a lot of

12
00:00:49.880 --> 00:00:53.320
waiting around. Well, it is
if you're not being picked for a jury,

13
00:00:53.439 --> 00:00:55.840
But like for me, it was
like I got in, I was

14
00:00:55.960 --> 00:00:59.320
already like we did a quick orientation
and they literally called almost everyone in the

15
00:00:59.399 --> 00:01:02.399
room, like twenty four of us
to sit through a jurors election, and

16
00:01:02.439 --> 00:01:04.719
that portion of it I'll get into
a little bit. So the judge goes

17
00:01:04.719 --> 00:01:07.879
around and asks all kinds of questions, and it's like, have you or

18
00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:11.000
someone you've been related to, like
ever been a victim of a crime,

19
00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:15.680
And so every single person who's been
a victim of even like a kind of

20
00:01:15.719 --> 00:01:19.159
like tiny robbery or something has to
go around and talk about it. Okay.

21
00:01:19.159 --> 00:01:23.120
So that took so long, and
I just honestly had kind of anxiety

22
00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:26.640
during that point because it was like, is she gonna ask a question that

23
00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:29.599
I'm gonna have to answer that I
feel uncomfortable answering in front of all these

24
00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:33.400
random strangers. And there was one
woman in there who I think went through

25
00:01:33.400 --> 00:01:37.640
some unfortunate stuff with her husband.
And you can request privacy, so if

26
00:01:37.640 --> 00:01:40.719
you have to answer a question,
you can request privacy and just talk to

27
00:01:40.760 --> 00:01:44.000
them specifically about it, so like
go in another private little area or whatever.

28
00:01:44.040 --> 00:01:47.760
Okay, But I mean one of
these women, like she was crying,

29
00:01:48.159 --> 00:01:51.079
and one of the jurors was crying
having to answer some of the questions

30
00:01:51.120 --> 00:01:55.359
and talk about her past and stuff, and it like that part was pretty

31
00:01:55.400 --> 00:01:59.680
like anxiety written for me. I
didn't feel very uncomfortable or very comfortable during

32
00:01:59.719 --> 00:02:07.439
that. And then the defense lawyer
was a bit comical himself. He even

33
00:02:07.479 --> 00:02:13.120
admitted in it that he's been told
he was glib before, and so he's

34
00:02:13.159 --> 00:02:15.439
like, I don't want you guys
to think this is lighthearted or anything.

35
00:02:15.479 --> 00:02:16.919
I just like, I know this
is kind of stressful for people, so

36
00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:21.879
I just try to make it a
little bit lighthearted more and whatever. But

37
00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:25.319
the man is like the person in
the meeting who asks a million questions,

38
00:02:25.319 --> 00:02:29.000
and it's like, you don't need
all this, and I understand he's picking

39
00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:32.840
a very specific jury, so hopefully
his client is found not guilty. But

40
00:02:34.439 --> 00:02:39.560
he said he's like, does anyone
ever work in like a group setting?

41
00:02:40.159 --> 00:02:44.240
And it was like, okay,
cool, and so finally, like I

42
00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:47.080
just started taking the microphone to answer
questions because nobody wanted to answer these questions

43
00:02:47.120 --> 00:02:51.680
and we weren't moving along, ye, and so but I'm telling you it

44
00:02:51.800 --> 00:02:54.360
was like very worthy questions. People
kept being like, I don't understand what

45
00:02:54.400 --> 00:02:59.639
your question is because he just was
like picking people at points to answer questions

46
00:02:59.639 --> 00:03:01.319
even though nobody had answers. And
I know he was trying to get to

47
00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:05.960
a point of what he was looking
for in the jury, but his questions

48
00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:09.680
lasted like two hours on top of
already two and a half hours from the

49
00:03:09.800 --> 00:03:15.520
judge and the prosecutor ten minutes for
her. It took ten minutes for her

50
00:03:15.520 --> 00:03:19.439
to ask her questions of the jury. That guy took like two hours.

51
00:03:19.479 --> 00:03:22.400
I wonder if that is his strategy, because I've been watching a lot of

52
00:03:22.439 --> 00:03:25.599
suits. Yeah, Jenny, and
everything is a strategy, Like you're doing

53
00:03:25.639 --> 00:03:30.199
something because not because you really care
what the answers are, but because you

54
00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:35.120
want to fuck with somebody or you
want to manipulate something. So I'm going

55
00:03:35.159 --> 00:03:38.719
to guess if that's like a legal
defense strategy. I know you don't have

56
00:03:38.719 --> 00:03:42.560
any idea, but yeah, guess. But would you guess that he was

57
00:03:42.599 --> 00:03:45.639
a court appointed attorney or do you
think that he was a paid, high

58
00:03:45.719 --> 00:03:49.039
powered or not even high powered,
but like paid attorney. Eh, hard

59
00:03:49.039 --> 00:03:51.080
to say, don't know, it's
hard to say. I don't want to

60
00:03:51.080 --> 00:03:54.120
make that judgment based off of only
doing that with him, but I just,

61
00:03:54.360 --> 00:03:58.560
yeah, I'm sure that there are
plenty of times where it takes even

62
00:03:58.560 --> 00:04:01.159
longer to find a jury and the
defense layer asked even more questions, But

63
00:04:01.199 --> 00:04:06.879
in this particular case, it seemed
very drawn out, and you could tell

64
00:04:06.919 --> 00:04:11.599
that all of us were getting frustrated. And one woman next to me who

65
00:04:11.719 --> 00:04:15.960
was not selected. She started getting
snippy, and like there was there's people

66
00:04:15.960 --> 00:04:17.480
who, of course, like try
to purposely get out of it, like

67
00:04:17.560 --> 00:04:21.399
they answer the questions to know that
they're biased whatever. But the thing is,

68
00:04:23.160 --> 00:04:26.680
the judge told us ahead of time, this case should not last more

69
00:04:26.720 --> 00:04:30.199
than a few days, and if
you don't get selected for this case,

70
00:04:30.199 --> 00:04:34.319
because it's a pretty simple yes,
guilty or not guilty. It wasn't like

71
00:04:34.360 --> 00:04:39.000
a murder trial where we were going
to be hearing evidence in cases and witnesses

72
00:04:39.000 --> 00:04:42.720
for days. So it was going
to pretty much like maybe last the day,

73
00:04:42.879 --> 00:04:46.240
depending on like a day or two, depending on how long deliberations were

74
00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:47.879
going to take. So she kind
of said it in our head ahead of

75
00:04:47.920 --> 00:04:53.040
time that like, don't answer the
questions to be biased one way or another,

76
00:04:53.199 --> 00:04:55.439
like just to get out of it. She didn't say that specifically,

77
00:04:55.480 --> 00:04:58.240
but I know it's what she was
meaning, because if we don't get picked

78
00:04:58.240 --> 00:05:00.199
for this jury, we'll get put
back into the pool of jurors and we

79
00:05:00.279 --> 00:05:03.600
might be on a different case that
could a couple we could last. So

80
00:05:03.720 --> 00:05:06.879
I of course, like there were
moments where I was getting frustrated and I

81
00:05:06.879 --> 00:05:10.199
wanted to do what the lady next
to me was doing where she just started

82
00:05:10.199 --> 00:05:13.279
getting snarky with the defense lawyer,
like she was just such a bits to

83
00:05:13.360 --> 00:05:15.079
them at one point. But I
didn't want to get picked for another case

84
00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:17.720
if I didn't get picked for this
one. I understand. But then of

85
00:05:17.759 --> 00:05:21.079
course in the end everyone was dismissed
who did not get picked, like they

86
00:05:21.079 --> 00:05:24.360
were done with their series. They're
all done. So you were kind of

87
00:05:24.360 --> 00:05:26.000
with it. But you know,
but you don't know, you know what.

88
00:05:26.079 --> 00:05:29.519
I will only tell you number one. I know it's been stressful.

89
00:05:29.639 --> 00:05:32.800
Yeah, it has been stressful for
a couple of weeks leading up to when

90
00:05:32.920 --> 00:05:35.800
last week you were worried about going
in and then you make the phone call

91
00:05:35.839 --> 00:05:39.199
they don't need you. Every night
you make a phone call. Afternoon you

92
00:05:39.199 --> 00:05:42.000
make a phone call they don't need
you, and you were thinking you were

93
00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:45.560
done, like they're not going to
call you. Then Tuesday night you call

94
00:05:45.639 --> 00:05:49.040
in. They said you're going in. You missed Wednesday, you miss Thursday.

95
00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:54.600
I was you know, of course
I care about you because you're a

96
00:05:54.600 --> 00:06:00.399
stress monster anyway. You you like, you're very busy, and this was

97
00:06:00.519 --> 00:06:03.759
one more big thing on your right. So I was like concerned for you.

98
00:06:04.160 --> 00:06:08.079
But at the same time, I'm
looking at the show going what are

99
00:06:08.079 --> 00:06:09.839
we gonna do on the show?
Yeah? I think the thing about the

100
00:06:09.879 --> 00:06:13.560
show is is that this show has
seen so much, and I've seen so

101
00:06:13.639 --> 00:06:15.240
much over the years. It's like, oh, it's just another little story

102
00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:17.600
of like, you know, Jenny
could be out for a couple of weeks,

103
00:06:18.160 --> 00:06:21.480
but I am so glad that you're
done and you're off the hook for

104
00:06:21.639 --> 00:06:26.839
four years. Four years me too. The next thing is is Jenny will

105
00:06:26.839 --> 00:06:30.519
probably be crossing the street get hit
by a bus, and she'll be in

106
00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:33.759
the hospital for six weeks. Yep. Yeah, I am very accident prone,

107
00:06:34.040 --> 00:06:38.920
so careful Jenny. All right,
let's get into the emails and see

108
00:06:38.959 --> 00:06:44.560
what people have to say, David
Jenny. This one says, I'm sure

109
00:06:44.600 --> 00:06:48.319
I'm not the only Disney fan writing
in after Monday's podcast. Space Mountain at

110
00:06:48.360 --> 00:06:55.160
Disney World is not closing next year
like Jason said. However, Space Mountain

111
00:06:55.199 --> 00:07:00.000
and Tokyo Disney will be closing in
twenty twenty four to be reimagined into an

112
00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:02.639
new Space Mountain. We are big
Disney World fans in my house and keep

113
00:07:02.720 --> 00:07:05.560
up with all the podcasts and news
and didn't want to freak people out that

114
00:07:05.560 --> 00:07:09.920
have trips. Planned staff writer Aaron, thank you. I really didn't know

115
00:07:09.959 --> 00:07:17.199
that that was some misinformation that we
had not known. Let's see next one

116
00:07:17.319 --> 00:07:24.279
Minnesota goodbye, and this one says
long time and listener of the show,

117
00:07:24.360 --> 00:07:28.560
love you guys, Dealer dearly.
I've always been interested in radio and thought

118
00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:31.519
I have a personality that matches the
vibe of most As we know, not

119
00:07:31.720 --> 00:07:36.120
all show hosts are great, but
I matched the vibe of most radio people.

120
00:07:36.800 --> 00:07:41.000
I've recently been throwing around the idea
of starting a podcast, and I've

121
00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:44.680
had several people mentioned I can hear
you on the radio, which intrigued me.

122
00:07:45.720 --> 00:07:47.759
Needless to say, here we are. I applied for the part time

123
00:07:47.800 --> 00:07:53.680
morning show producer position through iHeartRadio,
and I have some questions I am hoping

124
00:07:53.759 --> 00:07:56.399
you can help me with. Now. This is not meant for the podcast,

125
00:07:56.439 --> 00:08:01.959
but it's interesting. We do have, believe it or not, a

126
00:08:01.040 --> 00:08:11.240
position open on this show. It
is a part time assistant producer, kind

127
00:08:11.319 --> 00:08:16.160
of like a Drake that will ease
a little bit of the load on Jenny

128
00:08:18.319 --> 00:08:22.519
and also let Drake do more social
media stuff. But at the same time,

129
00:08:22.560 --> 00:08:24.720
this person might be really good at
social media. Yeah, and a

130
00:08:24.720 --> 00:08:28.160
lot of radio is social media.
I mean a lot of the They say

131
00:08:28.199 --> 00:08:30.360
that they judge us on a couple
of things, and one of them is

132
00:08:30.399 --> 00:08:33.159
our social media. And god damn
it, Jenny, I'm stuck at forty

133
00:08:33.200 --> 00:08:37.279
six point one followers on Instagram.
No matter what I could do, I

134
00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:43.799
could raise the dead, I could
cure migrain headaches, oh care, and

135
00:08:43.960 --> 00:08:48.200
I would still be stuck at forty
six point one thousand. That's big.

136
00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:52.840
I'm not complaining. That's a lot
of freaking followers. I am stuck.

137
00:08:52.960 --> 00:08:56.840
So I'm not so good at social
media. I do the best I can.

138
00:08:56.240 --> 00:09:01.240
So they go on to say they've
for this job. Obviously, they

139
00:09:01.279 --> 00:09:05.759
say it's nearly impossible to show my
personality through an online application. Is there

140
00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:09.519
any advice you can offer regarding how
to get somebody on the phone to have

141
00:09:09.519 --> 00:09:13.759
a chat with me? Regarding my
credentials on paper doesn't allow or reading my

142
00:09:13.840 --> 00:09:16.320
credentials on paper doesn't allow the reader
to get the feel of who I am

143
00:09:16.600 --> 00:09:20.799
and what I can offer to the
listeners. What advice do you have for

144
00:09:20.919 --> 00:09:24.480
someone with zero experience in radio to
encompass what it means to be a radio

145
00:09:24.519 --> 00:09:30.639
personality and portray that through the interview
process. Okay, I would say do

146
00:09:30.720 --> 00:09:35.600
what nobody else will do. That
is send me Dave Ryan at KJWB a

147
00:09:35.720 --> 00:09:39.399
link of a video of you talking
about yourself and what you can bring to

148
00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:45.720
the table. Yeah, because there
are I don't want to hurt anybody's feelings,

149
00:09:46.080 --> 00:09:50.240
but everybody thinks they could do a
great job on the radio. Everybody

150
00:09:50.320 --> 00:09:54.120
thinks that they would do great on
the radio, and it is a skill

151
00:09:54.159 --> 00:09:58.159
set. It is definitely something that
Yeah, you can tell wacky stories that

152
00:09:58.200 --> 00:10:01.200
you're barbecue and you can tell fun
stories and be the life of the party

153
00:10:01.240 --> 00:10:07.559
at the bridle the bachelorette party.
But it doesn't always translate to radio because

154
00:10:07.600 --> 00:10:11.799
you have to know when to tell
your story. And that's one of the

155
00:10:11.799 --> 00:10:16.919
things that people learn is because we'll
have people in and God love them,

156
00:10:16.960 --> 00:10:20.519
and I love people who listen to
the show, and I love people that

157
00:10:20.559 --> 00:10:22.200
want to be on the radio.
So we've had some people in for like

158
00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:26.120
fallin for a day or we did
lean it for a day and they're like,

159
00:10:26.279 --> 00:10:30.039
I'm so fucking funny and I crack
my friends up and you're gonna love

160
00:10:30.080 --> 00:10:33.799
me, and they will. They'll
come in and they don't know how to

161
00:10:33.879 --> 00:10:39.200
banter on a radio station. So
I'll be like, yeah, so tell

162
00:10:39.240 --> 00:10:41.240
me that story about how you found
a cat that didn't belong to you and

163
00:10:41.279 --> 00:10:43.759
you cat whatever, and they'll be
like, yeah, so I found a

164
00:10:43.799 --> 00:10:50.440
cat. And I'm like, fuck, you're doing a terrible job. And

165
00:10:50.480 --> 00:10:54.519
it's because it's kind of a learned
skill. Yeah, and some people have

166
00:10:54.639 --> 00:10:58.759
it very naturally and some people don't. So anyway, I would say the

167
00:10:58.799 --> 00:11:03.720
best thing that you can do make
a YouTube video. Send me the link,

168
00:11:03.879 --> 00:11:07.120
load it up. Don't send me
the video because I'll have trouble downloading

169
00:11:07.159 --> 00:11:09.919
it. But make a YouTube video, put it on YouTube, send me

170
00:11:09.960 --> 00:11:13.159
the link to it that talks all
about you and why you're funny and why

171
00:11:13.159 --> 00:11:15.639
you want the job or whatever.
Because we are going to hire somebody,

172
00:11:15.639 --> 00:11:18.519
but I don't know whether we're going
to hire somebody who's a lot on the

173
00:11:18.559 --> 00:11:22.399
air or a little bit behind the
scenes, or more like Steve or more

174
00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:26.440
like Tina, you know what I
mean. Right, So last question,

175
00:11:26.480 --> 00:11:28.879
I know I'm going to out on
a limb even applying because I have no

176
00:11:28.919 --> 00:11:31.720
experience, but the passion is there
to be a positive influence that you and

177
00:11:31.799 --> 00:11:35.399
the Morning Show have been in my
life for others. What advice would you

178
00:11:35.399 --> 00:11:37.720
give someone who is looking to potentially
make a career change into radio in their

179
00:11:37.759 --> 00:11:45.559
early thirties. Thanks for everything you
do. That is from Danielle and Danielle,

180
00:11:45.600 --> 00:11:48.600
you know what I'm going to tell
you this, that you even took

181
00:11:48.799 --> 00:11:52.879
this step to go the extra mile
is a really good sign because a lot

182
00:11:52.879 --> 00:11:56.120
of people will not. Yeah,
but the fact that you took this step

183
00:11:56.120 --> 00:12:01.039
to go the extra mile is very
telling. Anything to add to that,

184
00:12:01.120 --> 00:12:07.159
Jenny, I mean, I also
think that it's important to kind of have

185
00:12:07.200 --> 00:12:11.919
a social media presence of some sort
already. So if you aren't posting on

186
00:12:11.960 --> 00:12:18.440
social media at all, start posting, because it's just very much as much

187
00:12:18.480 --> 00:12:22.360
as we talk on the radio,
social media is almost just as important now

188
00:12:22.399 --> 00:12:26.320
at this point. So if we
can see that you know how to do

189
00:12:26.360 --> 00:12:30.879
it, you might be a little
funny on social media, or we can

190
00:12:31.159 --> 00:12:33.600
I don't know, I hate to
call it like someone's brand, but we

191
00:12:33.639 --> 00:12:37.120
can kind of understand who you are
by seeing like what you have on social

192
00:12:37.159 --> 00:12:39.679
media. I think that that's like
very helpful. If you have no social

193
00:12:39.759 --> 00:12:43.200
media presence. I think that that's
going to be a little bit of a

194
00:12:43.279 --> 00:12:48.559
turnoff almost because we feel like maybe
you don't have as much experience in that

195
00:12:48.720 --> 00:12:52.919
area, and that is something that's
pretty important now in radio, you know,

196
00:12:54.000 --> 00:12:58.879
I will say this though, we
as much as I say that you

197
00:12:58.960 --> 00:13:01.799
need radio experience or it's very helpful
to know when to banter and when to

198
00:13:01.799 --> 00:13:07.200
stop and when to start and whatever, and when to you know, yes,

199
00:13:07.279 --> 00:13:09.879
and like when you say something like, Okay, yeah, I kidnaped

200
00:13:09.879 --> 00:13:13.399
my neighbor's cat, can you believe
that, you don't go uh huh,

201
00:13:13.440 --> 00:13:18.799
You go yes, And now you
got a cat that's gonna you're gonna need

202
00:13:18.799 --> 00:13:20.919
to get a litter box and you
need to get shots, and you know,

203
00:13:20.039 --> 00:13:22.240
you had a yes and that type
of thing, so you got to

204
00:13:22.279 --> 00:13:26.679
learn that. But also I will
say that when Lena got this job,

205
00:13:26.759 --> 00:13:31.080
she had no radio experience. She
had never been taught how to banter,

206
00:13:31.240 --> 00:13:35.799
but she did take improv and that
really helped her learn to support other people

207
00:13:37.200 --> 00:13:43.879
when they tell a story and not
just go uh huh. So it's it's

208
00:13:43.919 --> 00:13:46.279
not impossible. I think it's really
interesting Danielle that you're interested and I think

209
00:13:46.360 --> 00:13:50.360
Jenny, we should read this story
on the radio, because I really would

210
00:13:50.399 --> 00:13:54.279
like to get out to people that
there is a job opening on the Dave

211
00:13:54.360 --> 00:13:58.759
Ryan Show. At the same time, there's going to be a lot of

212
00:13:58.759 --> 00:14:01.759
people that apply that just they're not
going to be in the ballpark, to

213
00:14:01.759 --> 00:14:05.840
be honest, because it's kind of
like a place. It's like going to

214
00:14:05.840 --> 00:14:09.000
an open audition to be in a
Campbell's soup commercial. There's a lot of

215
00:14:09.000 --> 00:14:11.360
people to go. I can be
an actor, but it's a little bit

216
00:14:11.360 --> 00:14:16.200
trickier than just standing up there and
pretending you know what I mean. Anyway,

217
00:14:16.200 --> 00:14:18.320
Thank you, Danielle, good luck. Send me to Dave Ryan at

218
00:14:18.399 --> 00:14:22.639
KWB a YouTube video, not a
video itself, but a YouTube video link,

219
00:14:22.679 --> 00:14:26.279
so I can go watch you and
see what you are all about.

220
00:14:26.080 --> 00:14:33.039
A couple of other wess Okay,
I'm poking around here a little bit and

221
00:14:33.039 --> 00:14:41.120
I'm gonna find some Here is one
for you. My husband, Ron has

222
00:14:41.120 --> 00:14:46.919
worked at the same place for almost
twenty six years. A coworker, Justin,

223
00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:50.200
is getting married. He's been there
twenty three years, so they've known

224
00:14:50.240 --> 00:14:54.799
each other for a long time.
Justin invited many people from work to the

225
00:14:54.799 --> 00:14:58.039
wedding. A while ago. The
wedding is one month away. We were

226
00:14:58.120 --> 00:15:05.519
not in to the wedding at that
time. Ron, my husband, came

227
00:15:05.519 --> 00:15:09.960
home from work today and let me
know that we were invited to the wedding.

228
00:15:09.000 --> 00:15:13.440
Today Justin told Ron that many of
the two hundred people invited to let

229
00:15:13.519 --> 00:15:16.080
him know that they are not coming. So now there is room to invite

230
00:15:16.159 --> 00:15:20.480
us. Ooh ouch, I don't
like this. Is this a thing?

231
00:15:20.519 --> 00:15:24.960
So now the original people can't or
invited can't or don't want to come.

232
00:15:26.519 --> 00:15:28.919
I guess Ron and his wife can
be invited now. I've never heard of

233
00:15:28.960 --> 00:15:33.600
a second tier of people be invited
to a wedding last minute and others say

234
00:15:33.600 --> 00:15:37.879
they won't be coming. Would you
go? I'll let my husband decide since

235
00:15:37.919 --> 00:15:39.519
this is his coworker. But I
think it's laughable and lame as hell.

236
00:15:41.440 --> 00:15:46.799
Thanks for your input. That is
from Kelly. I think that's really rude,

237
00:15:46.960 --> 00:15:48.799
and it's like, Okay, a
lot of people said they don't want

238
00:15:48.799 --> 00:15:52.559
to go, they can't go,
so now there's room. I got to

239
00:15:52.559 --> 00:15:58.120
figure, you've known this guy for
twenty three years and it doesn't say they're

240
00:15:58.120 --> 00:16:02.320
friends. It just says they worked
together. Yeah, it is possible that

241
00:16:02.559 --> 00:16:04.960
they just said, oh, well, we don't have room for Ron and

242
00:16:06.000 --> 00:16:07.360
his wife, but now we do. What would you do? Would you

243
00:16:07.360 --> 00:16:11.000
go to the wedding? No,
I've been in this situation before. Yeah.

244
00:16:11.039 --> 00:16:15.080
So one of my high school best
friends. We were very very close

245
00:16:15.080 --> 00:16:18.440
in high school and middle school,
but then after like college, we just

246
00:16:18.519 --> 00:16:21.120
kind of parted ways. We went
on different paths and we didn't really stay

247
00:16:21.200 --> 00:16:23.919
very close. And she got married
fairly young, so we still kind of

248
00:16:23.960 --> 00:16:26.840
talked here and there, but it
wasn't like we were texting each other.

249
00:16:26.879 --> 00:16:30.519
It wasn't that kind of relationship.
So she was getting married about a month

250
00:16:30.559 --> 00:16:33.919
before her wedding, she reached out
and she's like, I'd love to have

251
00:16:33.960 --> 00:16:37.080
you. I don't even know if
I was only invited to the reception.

252
00:16:37.440 --> 00:16:41.120
Okay, No, I think I
was invited to the dinner and the reception.

253
00:16:41.759 --> 00:16:44.840
And it was only a month before
I was living in the Twin Cities.

254
00:16:44.919 --> 00:16:47.720
It was back in my hometown,
and I was like, you know,

255
00:16:47.759 --> 00:16:49.759
I appreciate the invite, but I'm
unable to attend, and so I

256
00:16:49.799 --> 00:16:53.799
think it definitely is a thing.
In my situation. I wasn't offended because

257
00:16:53.840 --> 00:16:57.159
we weren't very close anymore. I
think it was like, Okay, well

258
00:16:57.159 --> 00:17:00.879
I do have some openings. Maybe
I will reach out to some friends who

259
00:17:00.919 --> 00:17:03.319
I think would have maybe come,
And so like, I wasn't offended because

260
00:17:03.319 --> 00:17:07.920
we weren't very close and I barely
ever saw her. I probably hadn't seen

261
00:17:07.920 --> 00:17:11.200
her in like a couple of years. But I said no because I was

262
00:17:11.240 --> 00:17:14.400
like, nah, this is definitely
a last minute invite to phil seats.

263
00:17:14.519 --> 00:17:17.960
Okay, but that's interesting. You
said you weren't offended, but you didn't

264
00:17:18.000 --> 00:17:21.759
go because I wasn't close with her
anymore. Okay, we were very close.

265
00:17:21.799 --> 00:17:22.799
So that's why I was like,
I'm not going to go all the

266
00:17:22.839 --> 00:17:26.000
way out of my way back home
to my hometown. Had it been local,

267
00:17:26.079 --> 00:17:30.160
I probably would have gone. But
no, I wasn't going to drive

268
00:17:30.160 --> 00:17:32.880
all the way back to my hometown
for a weekend to go to a wedding,

269
00:17:32.880 --> 00:17:34.759
and that I was last minute invited
to who with a friend that I'm

270
00:17:34.799 --> 00:17:41.240
just not close with anymore. Weddings
are tough for people that you don't know.

271
00:17:41.559 --> 00:17:45.160
Well, if it's your friend or
your sister or your cousin Bobby,

272
00:17:45.279 --> 00:17:51.000
then you probably want to go.
But I've been invited to weddings where I

273
00:17:51.039 --> 00:17:53.480
really appreciate going, but it's like, man, it's a night. It's

274
00:17:53.920 --> 00:17:57.640
what you know some people. Isn't
it true that you get invited sometimes to

275
00:17:57.680 --> 00:18:02.240
the wedding and the reception, sometimes
just the reception. Am I right about

276
00:18:02.240 --> 00:18:03.880
this? Which I've been I've done
that before where I've only been to the

277
00:18:04.000 --> 00:18:07.759
dance portion of it, Okay,
and that's a little less of a time

278
00:18:07.759 --> 00:18:10.799
commitment. But when you don't know
somebody, well, the problem is I

279
00:18:10.799 --> 00:18:11.839
don't even know. I don't even
know. It was a friend of my

280
00:18:11.880 --> 00:18:15.160
ex fiance. It was a day
long thing. We drove to still Water

281
00:18:15.240 --> 00:18:18.880
at like ten o'clock in the morning
and there was like the pre reception,

282
00:18:19.039 --> 00:18:22.200
then there was like the web blah
blah blah blah, then the wedding.

283
00:18:22.440 --> 00:18:25.559
Then there was several hours where we
sat on the dock at the deck at

284
00:18:25.559 --> 00:18:29.480
the freight house waiting for the reception
to start. And it was a day

285
00:18:29.599 --> 00:18:32.200
long thing and I didn't even know
her. But you know, whatever,

286
00:18:32.319 --> 00:18:36.000
it is, what it is.
What do you think would you go to

287
00:18:36.039 --> 00:18:37.839
the wedding where you were like,
oh, yeah, well some people didn't

288
00:18:38.240 --> 00:18:42.440
RSVP, So you're now invited to
the wedding. Would you go or would

289
00:18:42.480 --> 00:18:45.720
you be? Like, I'm not
going to be your second choice. I'm

290
00:18:45.839 --> 00:18:51.440
like saying, hey, yeah,
Brooke, Sandy wouldn't go out with me

291
00:18:51.519 --> 00:18:55.039
tonight so she couldn't make it,
So will you go? And then Brook's

292
00:18:55.039 --> 00:18:56.799
gonna go like, fuck you,
I don't want to go. Yeah,

293
00:18:56.839 --> 00:18:57.799
yeah, I'm not gonna be your
second choice. All right, let us

294
00:18:57.839 --> 00:19:00.559
know what you want to talk about. Send me email to Ryan's show at

295

Jenny, Thank you for listening to the

296
00:19:06.680 --> 00:19:07.079
Minnesota Goodbye,
