00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.040
I gotta start off with an email
that is kind of interesting, a little

2
00:00:03.040 --> 00:00:06.480
behind the curtain here. Paul writes
in says, but listen to KATWB for

3
00:00:06.519 --> 00:00:10.960
over twenty five or over fifteen years, and you've always referred to your building

4
00:00:11.080 --> 00:00:15.199
as the Space Needle Studio. How
did that start? Was it an inside

5
00:00:15.279 --> 00:00:17.760
joke at first? Love you guys. That's from Paul, Paul, Thank

6
00:00:17.800 --> 00:00:23.039
you very much. We do we
call the Space Needle Studio because in all

7
00:00:23.079 --> 00:00:27.160
reality we're in an office building on
the fifth floor. But I always thought

8
00:00:27.399 --> 00:00:33.840
when I was a kid that radio
stations looked like just amazing kind of dark

9
00:00:33.880 --> 00:00:39.679
inside with all kinds of glowing lights
and cool lights on the ceiling and just

10
00:00:39.920 --> 00:00:45.359
really just high tech. And it's
really not it's pretty ordinary. You would

11
00:00:45.359 --> 00:00:48.960
not be impressed if you walked in
here. We have very old technology.

12
00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:52.679
I mean literally, this technology we
have for the most part is a thirty

13
00:00:52.799 --> 00:00:57.560
year old control board. And I
look at some other radio stations and they're

14
00:00:57.600 --> 00:01:00.759
like, it really is like wow. But years ago, I think because

15
00:01:00.799 --> 00:01:06.319
I used to picture radio stations looking
like the inside of some super modern thing

16
00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:12.159
and a really cool building, that
I kind of envisioned the space needle as

17
00:01:12.200 --> 00:01:18.120
a studio with the studio at the
very top, and it revolves and it's

18
00:01:18.159 --> 00:01:22.040
got a flashing, blinking red light
on the top. Let me tell you,

19
00:01:22.159 --> 00:01:25.480
it looks nothing like that. But
when I say Space Legal Studio,

20
00:01:25.519 --> 00:01:29.480
it kind of conjures up a way
cooler image than saying, yeah, we're

21
00:01:29.519 --> 00:01:33.879
on the fifth floor of the Kemp's
building. So what is the name of

22
00:01:33.920 --> 00:01:36.799
our building anyway, Jenny? It
used to be the money Gram building,

23
00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:40.879
but it's not anymore, right,
I honestly have no idea. I don't

24
00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:44.319
know. I yeah, I don't
think they have money Gram on the top

25
00:01:44.359 --> 00:01:46.680
of it anymore. I think now
it's like Lifetime Work or something. But

26
00:01:46.879 --> 00:01:49.359
I will say we do have a
really good view of downtown. We do

27
00:01:49.480 --> 00:01:52.680
yet other stations in the building and
have a view of like a parking ram.

28
00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:55.560
So we are kind of lucky with
what our view is. Yeah,

29
00:01:55.560 --> 00:01:59.159
we face directly to the east,
so we see downtown. We got a

30
00:01:59.239 --> 00:02:00.959
decent view. Yeah, and we're
on the fifth floor. I worked at

31
00:02:00.959 --> 00:02:07.000
one radio station in Phoenix that was
an old TV studio and there was no

32
00:02:07.080 --> 00:02:12.240
windows that looked outside. There was
a window that looked into the old studio

33
00:02:12.360 --> 00:02:15.360
so it was like the control room
that had a glass window that looked into

34
00:02:15.400 --> 00:02:20.680
the old TV studio, which the
lights were always off. Anyway, when

35
00:02:20.719 --> 00:02:23.719
we were in Butler Square, and
we were there from about ninety six to

36
00:02:23.759 --> 00:02:30.439
two thousand and three, it was
a cool building, really modern equipment and

37
00:02:30.479 --> 00:02:35.000
everything. Yeah, but you didn't
have a view outside. You looked into

38
00:02:35.039 --> 00:02:39.039
the atrium. So next one,
Hello, my favorite morning show crew.

39
00:02:39.039 --> 00:02:42.599
My name is Charras. Oh it's
Charace again. Here she is. We

40
00:02:42.680 --> 00:02:45.360
love her. I've written in before
thank you for the sticker. By the

41
00:02:45.400 --> 00:02:46.560
way, I guess it's probably more
of a question for day, but I'll

42
00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:51.439
appreciate any feedback from Jenny as well. I have a thirteen year old daughter

43
00:02:51.479 --> 00:02:54.319
and she recently asked if she can
have a boyfriend. My mom was super

44
00:02:54.360 --> 00:02:58.520
strict and I wasn't allowed to talk
to boys on the phone, and I

45
00:02:58.520 --> 00:03:01.960
had my first boyfriend at no.
Nineteen. I don't want to be that

46
00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:06.400
strict because I think that in some
ways it made me very naive. But

47
00:03:06.479 --> 00:03:09.360
I also don't want her dating at
an early age. I was thinking sixteen,

48
00:03:09.680 --> 00:03:12.919
how old was your daughter when she
was allowed to have a boyfriend?

49
00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:16.199
Dave, any advice is appreciated.
Alison was a very good girl. I

50
00:03:16.199 --> 00:03:19.879
didn't have to worry about that.
I think she had a date with a

51
00:03:19.879 --> 00:03:24.919
boy when she was probably twelve thirteen. Go back to Freaky Friday, however,

52
00:03:25.039 --> 00:03:30.479
old Freaky Friday was when that came
out. Subtract those years from Alison,

53
00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:35.080
and she was probably twelve or thirteen. It was a date to Eden

54
00:03:35.120 --> 00:03:38.639
Prairie Center to see Freaky Friday with
a boy that she really thought was cute.

55
00:03:39.280 --> 00:03:43.439
And afterward I picked her up and
I said, how was the movie?

56
00:03:43.439 --> 00:03:46.000
How was the movie good? What
did you guys talk about? While

57
00:03:46.039 --> 00:03:50.039
I asked him if he liked the
movie? So it was one of those

58
00:03:50.120 --> 00:03:53.759
kid dates where they had nothing to
say. They were both so nervous.

59
00:03:54.520 --> 00:03:59.719
But I think her first boyfriend,
it wasn't that, it wasn't allowed,

60
00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:04.159
didn't happen. I would say high
school. Beth dated some shady characters when

61
00:04:04.159 --> 00:04:08.120
she lived down in Orlando, and
that's one of the reasons why I was

62
00:04:08.120 --> 00:04:11.639
happy that she moved up here to
get away from some of the shady people

63
00:04:11.639 --> 00:04:14.199
that I didn't know them, but
I heard about them from her mother.

64
00:04:14.840 --> 00:04:18.240
So she moved up here and then
met good people. What about you,

65
00:04:18.360 --> 00:04:23.040
Jenny, when was your Were you
allowed to date? I don't know that

66
00:04:23.079 --> 00:04:26.120
I really had that. I don't
think there was a conversation between my parents

67
00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:30.519
and I. But I definitely had
my first quote unquote boyfriend when I was

68
00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:33.639
probably probably thirteen, and we dated
for like a month. I don't know,

69
00:04:33.800 --> 00:04:36.800
Like he was a wrestler. My
girlfriend was dating and his friend that

70
00:04:36.879 --> 00:04:40.480
was a wrestler. We went to
one of their tournaments, like an hour

71
00:04:40.519 --> 00:04:46.000
away one time. That was almost
the extent of the relationship. And I

72
00:04:46.079 --> 00:04:47.720
don't know. At that age,
we weren't like doing much, you know,

73
00:04:47.759 --> 00:04:51.439
we weren't seeing each other very often, we weren't going on dates,

74
00:04:51.439 --> 00:04:56.800
so it was very innocent. Yeah. Yeah. And then I really only

75
00:04:56.839 --> 00:04:59.720
had one of their boyfriend in high
school my freshman year, also for only

76
00:04:59.759 --> 00:05:01.680
about a month, and that was
it for me. Like I just I

77
00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:05.279
don't know, I just didn't really
date when I was young. I didn't

78
00:05:05.279 --> 00:05:08.639
either. I was terrified of girls. So you can't use me as a

79
00:05:08.680 --> 00:05:11.720
reference point. A couple of quick
stories. I'll give you a piece of

80
00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:14.120
advice. If you're a parent and
charies, I'll give you the same advice.

81
00:05:14.879 --> 00:05:20.279
Don't go oh so you like Adam. Oh what is Adam like?

82
00:05:20.399 --> 00:05:24.920
Don't do that because we did that
with Carson and it pissed him off and

83
00:05:24.959 --> 00:05:28.639
made him not want to talk to
us about girls that he was seeing or

84
00:05:28.680 --> 00:05:32.279
interested in because we thought that was
cute and we weren't trying to be jerks.

85
00:05:32.560 --> 00:05:38.879
It was embarrassing to him if we're
like, oh, you like Stephanie.

86
00:05:39.120 --> 00:05:42.519
Oh is Stephanie key? Oh?
Does she? Did you kiss her?

87
00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:46.279
And that pissed him off. Yeah, And later I would he'd be

88
00:05:46.360 --> 00:05:48.600
like, I hate when you guys
do that, so he really kept his

89
00:05:48.759 --> 00:05:54.160
dating and girl interest thing to himself. Yeah, that's one. And a

90
00:05:54.160 --> 00:05:57.480
cute story when Allison was probably fifteen
or so, she had a guy that

91
00:05:57.720 --> 00:06:00.000
liked her and I thought it was
so adorable. He wanted to buy her

92
00:06:00.199 --> 00:06:04.399
a present for Birthday or Christmas or
whatever, and he bought her a little

93
00:06:04.600 --> 00:06:09.560
clock, like a little decorative clock. And it was so cute to me

94
00:06:10.160 --> 00:06:15.040
because I could just picture this boy
out somewhere at the mall trying to find

95
00:06:15.079 --> 00:06:18.040
the perfect present for Alison and he
came up with his clock, and she

96
00:06:18.120 --> 00:06:21.800
didn't really like him that much,
and I thought, what a sweet little

97
00:06:21.839 --> 00:06:26.800
story that he liked Allison and wanted
to impress her, and at fifteen years

98
00:06:26.800 --> 00:06:29.319
old, the best thing that he
could come up with was a clock,

99
00:06:30.040 --> 00:06:32.199
and I just thought it was very
sweet and very cute. All Right,

100
00:06:32.279 --> 00:06:36.519
thank you very much. Next one, don't say a name. Okay.

101
00:06:36.600 --> 00:06:40.120
I have a couple of things say
about tipping culture. We talked about this

102
00:06:40.199 --> 00:06:43.680
at length yesterday. I work at
a popular restaurant here in the Cities.

103
00:06:43.720 --> 00:06:46.639
This past Sunday, I served a
young couple, probably sixteen or seventeen.

104
00:06:46.879 --> 00:06:50.040
They ordered two pops each, had
multiple refills, two appetizers, and entrees.

105
00:06:50.079 --> 00:06:54.560
When it came time to pay,
it took at least ten minutes for

106
00:06:54.680 --> 00:06:58.560
them to sort out how they were
going to pay with their fifty ish bill.

107
00:06:58.600 --> 00:07:01.000
Fifty dollars bill was the tap.
They paid a bit in cash and

108
00:07:01.040 --> 00:07:04.120
the rest on a card. When
I opened the book, I saw that

109
00:07:04.160 --> 00:07:10.199
they had written a zero on the
tip line and scribbled a sorry off to

110
00:07:10.240 --> 00:07:13.839
the side, so they knew it
was wrong not to tip me. Perhaps

111
00:07:13.839 --> 00:07:17.040
two appetizers weren't necessary if that left
them unable to take care of someone who

112
00:07:17.079 --> 00:07:21.199
worked hard to give them good service. Lastly, I went to a Gopher

113
00:07:21.240 --> 00:07:25.079
basketball game tonight and bought a bottle
of water that I had to grab for

114
00:07:25.120 --> 00:07:29.360
myself out of a stand up cooler, and I was prompted to tip.

115
00:07:29.879 --> 00:07:32.079
That got an eye roll from me. I would love a staff writer sticker

116
00:07:32.199 --> 00:07:36.000
if my email is read, and
it was read, and thank you very

117
00:07:36.079 --> 00:07:39.879
much, and I will. I
sent out eighteen staff writer stickers last night.

118
00:07:40.959 --> 00:07:45.839
That's a lot of addressing letters.
I don't mind. It's very gratifying

119
00:07:45.879 --> 00:07:47.839
to send those out. It does
get a little bit pricey because each stamp

120
00:07:47.920 --> 00:07:51.639
is what sixty cents a box of
one hundred envelopes, and then the stickers.

121
00:07:51.680 --> 00:07:55.199
I don't mind it because if you
want a sticker, I'm flattered that

122
00:07:55.199 --> 00:07:58.560
you even want a sticker. Let's
go back to the scribbling. Sorry,

123
00:07:59.439 --> 00:08:03.560
I'm going to be real, flat
out honest with you. I thought you

124
00:08:03.600 --> 00:08:09.079
were gonna say I understood and it
was okay because they didn't have much money,

125
00:08:09.160 --> 00:08:13.720
they were kids and they did what
they could. What do you think,

126
00:08:13.800 --> 00:08:16.160
Jenny, Oh no, I'm not
on the side of that, because

127
00:08:16.160 --> 00:08:18.199
I was a server. There is
just like, there's just nothing worse than

128
00:08:18.279 --> 00:08:22.680
like working and serving someone for an
hour an hour and a half and then

129
00:08:22.759 --> 00:08:26.399
getting a zero dollar tip, like
it really makes you feel like crap.

130
00:08:26.439 --> 00:08:31.360
And if you know enough that it
was wrong that you wrote sorry, then

131
00:08:31.399 --> 00:08:35.440
you knew enough that you didn't have
the money to tip them and you should

132
00:08:35.480 --> 00:08:39.600
have maybe yes, had one less
appetizer. So but it's nice to hear

133
00:08:39.639 --> 00:08:43.559
a server take the side of like
she's frustrated about getting stiffed, but then

134
00:08:43.600 --> 00:08:46.759
also she's not gonna go tip someone
for pulling a water out of a bin

135
00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:52.360
and whatever. Because I always feel
like I feel stingy sometimes when I don't

136
00:08:52.399 --> 00:08:56.799
tip at certain things now because like
everything's tipping, and I was a server,

137
00:08:56.960 --> 00:09:00.440
so I feel like I should be
obligated to tip as I was a

138
00:09:00.480 --> 00:09:03.799
server before. But she clearly doesn't
feel obligated for situations like that. I

139
00:09:03.799 --> 00:09:07.559
wouldn't either, you know what,
I will. I will tell you this,

140
00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:13.080
and I'm not against your opinion.
I'm only saying they're kids, they

141
00:09:13.120 --> 00:09:18.399
don't know how important it is to
tip, and they were broke and they

142
00:09:18.600 --> 00:09:22.600
scrambled to pay, and I just
thought that was very sweet. I'm not

143
00:09:22.639 --> 00:09:28.320
a server. I have a little
forgiveness in my heart for them, because

144
00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:31.039
I guess I just kind of understand
it. You know they were just there.

145
00:09:31.279 --> 00:09:33.679
I don't know. Maybe they didn't
realize that a tip is not really

146
00:09:33.799 --> 00:09:39.320
optional, it's more mandatory. So
all right, next one, Dave and

147
00:09:39.399 --> 00:09:41.320
Crewe. I heard your bit on
the radio about the new State seal and

148
00:09:41.360 --> 00:09:45.320
why there is a French phrase in
it. Well, the reason it's on

149
00:09:45.399 --> 00:09:48.000
there is because it's our state motto, the only one in the nation in

150
00:09:48.120 --> 00:09:52.720
French. Lots are in Latin.
It was adopted in eighteen sixty one.

151
00:09:52.759 --> 00:09:56.879
So I think it looks pretty slick
on the seal and on my arm photo

152
00:09:56.919 --> 00:10:01.639
attached to my Minnesota tattoo that is
from Kelly and Kelly just for reference,

153
00:10:01.879 --> 00:10:07.320
is I think Kelly is a guy
because that is one big ass arm.

154
00:10:07.399 --> 00:10:11.440
And when I say big, I
mean a big bicep. I'm gonna show

155
00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:15.279
you Jay and I think that could
be a woman's arm, but I'm gonna

156
00:10:15.320 --> 00:10:18.080
think it's a guy's arm. Is
that a guy's arm or a woman's arm.

157
00:10:18.879 --> 00:10:20.799
It's it's a very muscular bicep,
is what I can say. I

158
00:10:20.840 --> 00:10:24.639
can't a hair, though I know
it could be a woman's arm. Could

159
00:10:24.679 --> 00:10:30.960
be either way. You got really
nice biceps, and I like your tattoo.

160
00:10:31.320 --> 00:10:33.399
I just you know, Okay,
thanks for clearing that up. I

161
00:10:33.480 --> 00:10:35.960
was not sure why we but it's
means Star of the North is what it

162
00:10:37.000 --> 00:10:41.480
means. So I thought that was
kind of cool. And next one I

163
00:10:41.559 --> 00:10:45.559
am emailing, hold on one's saying, oh oh, this one is actually

164
00:10:45.600 --> 00:10:48.840
applying for a job. Let's read
it. Should we read it? Why

165
00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:50.960
not? Okay, my name is
Haley. I'm emailing to become a member

166
00:10:50.960 --> 00:10:54.039
of the Dave Ryan Show, or
at the very least be a friend of

167
00:10:54.159 --> 00:11:00.080
I'm thinking Benjamin Bailey, Tony,
etc. What radio experience do? If

168
00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:03.639
I have well done? What qualifies
me be in the radio? In radio?

169
00:11:03.480 --> 00:11:07.960
In my opinion, my hilarious personality
and my can do attitude. You

170
00:11:07.960 --> 00:11:09.600
need somebody to help Jenny with show
production. I'm your girl. You need

171
00:11:09.639 --> 00:11:13.240
somebody to say yes to Dave while
we wait for Drake to get a caller.

172
00:11:13.879 --> 00:11:16.960
Count me in, oh yes,
and not just yes, but yes

173
00:11:18.039 --> 00:11:22.279
and yeah. Very important. Now. I don't actually think I'm going to

174
00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:24.159
get this job on the show.
However, I am hoping the fact that

175
00:11:24.200 --> 00:11:28.960
you hired Lena with no radio experience
radio experience plays in my favor. I'm

176
00:11:28.960 --> 00:11:33.000
impressed that you know that fun fact
from twelve or thirteen or fourteen years ago.

177
00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:35.440
I really mainly just want to say, if you ever need to fill

178
00:11:35.440 --> 00:11:37.360
in, give me a call.
I'm twenty nine years old, married,

179
00:11:37.360 --> 00:11:41.399
I'm a mom. I can tell
stories with great and funny detail, and

180
00:11:41.440 --> 00:11:45.159
I know I could be an excellent
addition to your team. I do consider

181
00:11:45.159 --> 00:11:48.279
myself a Dave Ryan Show expert,
considering I've been listening religiously for ten years.

182
00:11:50.039 --> 00:11:54.759
The chances of this being read may
be slim, but if it is,

183
00:11:54.879 --> 00:11:56.279
I hope it brings a smile to
your face at the very least.

184
00:11:56.559 --> 00:12:00.159
Thanks for all the joy you bring
to my life. That is from Haley.

185
00:12:00.200 --> 00:12:03.720
Haley. I would not count it
out as crazy as that seems,

186
00:12:03.480 --> 00:12:07.759
but I don't know that you're funny. And I'm going to just say from

187
00:12:07.759 --> 00:12:11.279
my experience, Hailey, you probably
are funny. But I've had so many

188
00:12:11.279 --> 00:12:16.279
people swear that they're funny, and
then we'll put them on the radio and

189
00:12:16.360 --> 00:12:22.120
they're kind of not. And I've
learned over the years, and again,

190
00:12:22.159 --> 00:12:28.879
Haley, you probably are funny,
But everybody thinks they're funny because their audience

191
00:12:28.960 --> 00:12:33.360
is their friends, and their friends
love them. So when you go out

192
00:12:33.360 --> 00:12:39.360
to happy hour and you're entertaining your
friends with your latest story of constipation or

193
00:12:39.399 --> 00:12:43.519
a guy that you dated, or
how you peede your pants lap whatever.

194
00:12:43.600 --> 00:12:48.480
You're funny. But there's a different
environment in here. And the reason that

195
00:12:50.840 --> 00:12:58.200
Benjamin and Bailey and Tony and Lena
worked is because they're performers, not just

196
00:12:58.440 --> 00:13:03.639
funny. Bailee is a performer.
She's done improv and theater. She's got

197
00:13:03.639 --> 00:13:07.120
a theater degree. Same with Lina, she had a theater degree. Steve

198
00:13:07.240 --> 00:13:13.159
used to call it a degree in
poverty. And Tony's naturally an entertainer,

199
00:13:13.200 --> 00:13:18.720
and so is Benjamin. So I
want to see if you are serious,

200
00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:20.679
Hailey, and I'm gonna send you
an email. I don't know that you

201
00:13:20.759 --> 00:13:24.200
listen to the Minnesota Goodbvibe, and
I'm gonna send you an email back,

202
00:13:24.919 --> 00:13:28.759
and I'm gonna say, make a
YouTube video of you talking about yourself telling

203
00:13:28.799 --> 00:13:33.240
some funny stories, because you never
know, I mean, you never know.

204
00:13:33.320 --> 00:13:35.519
And we're still kind of looking for
that fourth person on the show.

205
00:13:37.799 --> 00:13:41.039
But we also want to find somebody
who's good at social media, who's really

206
00:13:41.080 --> 00:13:43.200
good at like posting this and doing
videos, and that can run the cameras

207
00:13:43.200 --> 00:13:48.360
and that type of thing. So
not just somebody who wants to be on

208
00:13:48.399 --> 00:13:52.879
the radio. Yeah, I do
like her can do attitude though, I

209
00:13:52.200 --> 00:13:56.120
seriously do. Yeah. I mean, and like I said, Haley,

210
00:13:56.480 --> 00:14:00.559
you never know. I mean,
when I first heard that Lena wanted a

211
00:14:00.639 --> 00:14:03.080
job here, I'm like, I'm
not going to hire somebody with no radio

212
00:14:03.200 --> 00:14:07.799
experience. And she was great.
Yeah, she was wonderful. So I'm

213
00:14:07.840 --> 00:14:11.159
going to save that email and I'm
going to write her back. Okay,

214
00:14:11.600 --> 00:14:18.679
next one, this is no This
is from the Bob Slett Bobblehead Hall of

215
00:14:18.720 --> 00:14:24.879
Fame and Museum. Okay, it's
a press release. Yeah, it's a

216
00:14:24.919 --> 00:14:28.519
press release. I wanted to give
you a heads up. We'll be unveiling

217
00:14:28.559 --> 00:14:35.840
a pair of officially licensed, limited
edition bobbleheads featuring Goldie and Saint Thomas's mascot,

218
00:14:35.879 --> 00:14:39.120
Tommy the Tomcat. Blah blah blah. So we get a lot of

219
00:14:39.120 --> 00:14:43.440
press releases and maybe one in one
hundred we're interested in. Yeah. So

220
00:14:45.840 --> 00:14:48.559
next one, Hello, Dave and
Jenny, don't say my name. I'm

221
00:14:48.600 --> 00:14:52.159
looking for some advice, and since
y'all talk and interact with people for a

222
00:14:52.159 --> 00:14:54.200
living, maybe you can help out. I am an introvert, but through

223
00:14:54.240 --> 00:14:58.440
my life, I've learned how to
make conversation to be social in situations where

224
00:14:58.440 --> 00:15:01.519
I need to be. Here's my
question, how do you talk to someone

225
00:15:01.519 --> 00:15:05.720
who makes you work so hard to
move the conversation forward, the type of

226
00:15:05.720 --> 00:15:11.399
people who really have no opinion or
interest and answer with one word. My

227
00:15:11.519 --> 00:15:13.279
mother in law is going to be
visiting soon to see our kids for Christmas,

228
00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:16.759
and she is very much that type
of person. My husband knows this

229
00:15:16.879 --> 00:15:20.799
and he's used to it. He
really doesn't have any advice for me.

230
00:15:20.840 --> 00:15:22.960
She typically stays with us, which
I don't love, but I accept it,

231
00:15:24.320 --> 00:15:28.200
and it feels so uncomfortable. This
is one situation I just cannot seem

232
00:15:28.240 --> 00:15:31.679
to figure out. Despite knowing her
for years, she still feels like a

233
00:15:31.679 --> 00:15:33.679
stranger, And who wants a stranger
in your house for an entire week?

234
00:15:35.519 --> 00:15:39.159
Any tips or advice or tricks that
you picked up along the way can be

235
00:15:39.279 --> 00:15:43.320
very helpful. Thank you. I
don't know, Jenny. I am,

236
00:15:43.519 --> 00:15:48.320
I think naturally an introvert, but
I enjoy company. Yeah, so I

237
00:15:48.360 --> 00:15:52.080
will tell you this. When I
would go to Susan's mom and dad's house,

238
00:15:52.120 --> 00:15:54.600
we'd go for a week. Every
Christmas and we'd take the kids and

239
00:15:54.639 --> 00:15:58.159
Susan would sit at the kitchen table
with her mom and dad and talk a

240
00:15:58.279 --> 00:16:02.320
talk, a talk, taka taka. And I would for a little bit,

241
00:16:02.360 --> 00:16:03.960
but then I'd get bored and I'd
go read my book. And it

242
00:16:04.000 --> 00:16:07.120
came up one day her mom said
something like, you know what, you

243
00:16:07.200 --> 00:16:10.919
do whatever you want while you're here. You don't have to talk to us.

244
00:16:10.960 --> 00:16:12.000
I mean, you don't have to
join. If you are down here

245
00:16:12.039 --> 00:16:15.000
on vacation and you want to read
your book, read your book. And

246
00:16:15.080 --> 00:16:18.840
so I could say, if mom
is naturally an introverted kind of a person,

247
00:16:21.200 --> 00:16:25.039
let her be, let her read
her book, and maybe even mentioned

248
00:16:25.039 --> 00:16:26.519
to her It's like, hey,
if you want to read or watch TV,

249
00:16:29.399 --> 00:16:32.399
you can do that. You don't
have to feel any pressure to make

250
00:16:32.440 --> 00:16:36.480
conversation. But say it in a
nice way, because I felt really nice

251
00:16:36.519 --> 00:16:41.799
when Susan's mom said that, what
do you think, Jenny, So she

252
00:16:41.080 --> 00:16:45.080
is she saying the person writing in
that she's also an introvert or just the

253
00:16:45.120 --> 00:16:48.320
mom? Yes, she said,
but remember she said she's learned how to

254
00:16:48.399 --> 00:16:52.799
make conversation and be in social situations
when she needs to be mother in law,

255
00:16:52.919 --> 00:16:56.320
answers yes or no. I mean
I think that you just like do

256
00:16:56.840 --> 00:17:02.080
the kind questions that you would do
that are based conversation starters with them,

257
00:17:02.200 --> 00:17:04.880
like how's how have you been?
What's new? How's the weather? Let

258
00:17:04.920 --> 00:17:10.400
me be mom in this one asked
me a question, Oh oh hi mom,

259
00:17:10.680 --> 00:17:14.119
you how have you been? Leley
good? Okay, have you watched

260
00:17:14.160 --> 00:17:19.839
any TV shows you like lately?
Okay? How's your cat doing? Fine?

261
00:17:19.960 --> 00:17:23.039
So no, it's frustrating, No, it is frustrating. I think

262
00:17:23.039 --> 00:17:27.839
that like you're putting too much emphasis
on needing to have constant conversation and entertaining

263
00:17:29.039 --> 00:17:32.279
and and I think a lot of
introverts minds, they're okay, we're just

264
00:17:32.279 --> 00:17:36.240
sitting there and not having conversation.
What I said, Yes, yeah,

265
00:17:36.279 --> 00:17:40.839
I would do that. Here's one
possible suggestion, and that is to do

266
00:17:41.079 --> 00:17:45.000
a board game. Yeah, and
I know that sounds corny and silly,

267
00:17:45.119 --> 00:17:51.599
but if you can do a conversational
board game, maybe Mom would like Cards

268
00:17:51.640 --> 00:17:59.599
against Humanity. That's a little bit
racy. But we do Settlers of Katan,

269
00:18:00.160 --> 00:18:03.440
which I know sounds really like Okay, that's super geeky, but it

270
00:18:03.519 --> 00:18:12.160
is a conversational social game where you
interact and maybe even something like a puzzle

271
00:18:14.079 --> 00:18:19.319
where you're interacting and talking but you
don't have to, so maybe in activity

272
00:18:21.200 --> 00:18:26.720
rather than trying to make conversation.
So just an idea, I mean,

273
00:18:26.000 --> 00:18:29.839
let me know if you got an
idea for her, because maybe you got

274
00:18:29.839 --> 00:18:33.200
a better idea and a couple more
here. Anyway, that was a really

275
00:18:33.240 --> 00:18:38.519
interesting one, but hopefully that helps
you out. Next one, morning show

276
00:18:38.559 --> 00:18:41.720
crew want to commend you for your
amazing show you put on every morning,

277
00:18:41.759 --> 00:18:45.039
each of you, Dave, Jenny
Drake crush it every morning. I can't

278
00:18:45.039 --> 00:18:49.680
tell you how much that means.
Seriously, I really appreciate that. Second,

279
00:18:51.240 --> 00:18:52.880
my husband and I were talking about
our favorite chips. He said his

280
00:18:53.039 --> 00:18:59.079
word Dorito's or Munchi's. I said
kettle chips and he started me blankly saying

281
00:18:59.119 --> 00:19:02.119
that is crazy to he was a
plain potato chip. I told them I'm

282
00:19:02.119 --> 00:19:07.240
gonna email the Morning show and find
out two questions. Are mixes like munchies

283
00:19:07.319 --> 00:19:11.920
and checks mixed chips? No,
they're a snack, So that's my opinion.

284
00:19:11.440 --> 00:19:15.400
What do you think, Jenny,
Yeah, chock smokes for sugar munchies.

285
00:19:15.440 --> 00:19:17.759
Though I'm kind of on the edge
of because it does involve a lot

286
00:19:17.799 --> 00:19:21.240
of chips, but I would say
no, okay, not chips. They

287
00:19:21.240 --> 00:19:26.680
are snacks too. Is it crazy
to prefer plane chips? Absolutely not?

288
00:19:26.319 --> 00:19:30.720
No, absolutely not, Jenny,
I would say no, but I think

289
00:19:30.839 --> 00:19:33.920
you're in the minority. I would
say that's true. Yeah, yeah,

290
00:19:34.000 --> 00:19:37.119
But just like if people if you
like mushrooms or pineapple on your pizza,

291
00:19:38.079 --> 00:19:41.960
is it crazy? No, but
you're in the minority. So if you

292
00:19:42.039 --> 00:19:45.839
prefer plain kettle chips, they are
pretty dope. Yep. I think you're

293
00:19:45.839 --> 00:19:51.200
okay, love y'all. I received
my staff writer sticker and I love it.

294
00:19:51.359 --> 00:19:53.640
That is from Taylor. Thank you, Taylor. I appreciate you writing

295
00:19:53.680 --> 00:20:00.160
in. Okay, Joe writes in
and Joe says, remember when Drake first

296
00:20:00.160 --> 00:20:04.039
started and he said he could sing? Remember that and then he tried?

297
00:20:06.000 --> 00:20:08.599
Okay, I don't actually did Drake
sing on the show. I think he

298
00:20:08.640 --> 00:20:11.599
did say that he thought he could
sing, yes, and I think he

299
00:20:11.680 --> 00:20:15.400
has. I don't know that we
ever did a segment of him just singing,

300
00:20:15.480 --> 00:20:21.319
but maybe I'm wrong. Okay,
sorry reading for the next email here,

301
00:20:22.160 --> 00:20:29.200
Let's try this one. No,
not that one, okay, Dave.

302
00:20:29.279 --> 00:20:32.200
I'm wondering if you sent out a
sticker to me. I'm still hoping

303
00:20:32.200 --> 00:20:34.640
to put it on my garbage fridge. That's what I thought, that's what

304
00:20:34.720 --> 00:20:37.440
Oh okay, yes, I thought
he said garbage fridge. It actually said

305
00:20:37.480 --> 00:20:41.720
garage fridge. I know you're in
Colorado. Yes, Chris, I absolutely

306
00:20:41.759 --> 00:20:45.240
did send your sticker out yesterday because
you live in a unique name of a

307
00:20:45.319 --> 00:20:49.960
street, and I remember absolutely I
sent it out. It is on its

308
00:20:51.079 --> 00:20:56.400
way. Next next one. Your
news about McCaulay culkin on the show yesterday

309
00:20:56.400 --> 00:21:02.160
made me think to suggest that everybody
watched the Jeff gaff Show on Paramount Plus.

310
00:21:03.680 --> 00:21:07.920
Not only is he hilarious, but
McCauley makes several cameo appearances and if

311
00:21:07.920 --> 00:21:10.799
you're a McCauley fan, you'll probably
love it. Keep up the great work

312
00:21:11.079 --> 00:21:14.279
from your staff writer, Katie.
Thank you, Katie. Sticker is on

313
00:21:14.359 --> 00:21:17.039
its way, and I think I
have one more to have time for one

314
00:21:17.079 --> 00:21:26.240
more gent okay, and hit delete
on that one. Hold on okay that

315
00:21:26.279 --> 00:21:30.440
one. I'm not okay this one. I think that was it? Actually

316
00:21:30.160 --> 00:21:33.400
that was it. Yeah, that's
all. That's it for the Minnesota Goodbye.

317
