00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:03.919
I think at every point in our
lives, there's always this song going through

2
00:00:03.919 --> 00:00:09.400
our minds. A friend of mine
last night, Melissa Extreme Jamie's ex wife,

3
00:00:09.439 --> 00:00:13.000
her and I are friends. She
texted me and she said, thank

4
00:00:13.039 --> 00:00:17.679
you forgetting Shaboozy going through my mind
all day. And I'm like, well,

5
00:00:17.719 --> 00:00:21.640
because I did introduce the world to
the Shaboozy song. You were here,

6
00:00:21.800 --> 00:00:23.559
you witnessed this. I said,
it's going to be the song of

7
00:00:23.600 --> 00:00:27.120
summer. It's gonna be a big, huge hit. I discovered Shaboozi and

8
00:00:27.160 --> 00:00:29.399
it actually did be. Don't shake
your head at me, young woman.

9
00:00:29.519 --> 00:00:35.560
Then in Discover Head discovered Chaboozi.
You know what? This is what happens

10
00:00:35.600 --> 00:00:38.159
my entire life, Dailey, your
whole life, My whole life. I

11
00:00:38.240 --> 00:00:42.320
discover something like, for example,
radium. I discovered radium, Radium,

12
00:00:42.320 --> 00:00:46.960
the element radium. Curious exactly,
God damn it. She gets credited.

13
00:00:47.799 --> 00:00:53.679
She gets credited all the fucking time. I discover radium. This old bag.

14
00:00:54.399 --> 00:00:58.079
I discovered radium, And I'm like, you old bag. Anyway,

15
00:00:59.079 --> 00:01:02.679
you're such a big Shoozy fan.
Are you going to his show that's coming

16
00:01:02.759 --> 00:01:07.439
to the Twin Cities. I should, I probably will your mom's house.

17
00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:11.760
Oh really, so it's in Wisconsin
the so uh but seriously he's gonna be

18
00:01:11.799 --> 00:01:14.719
at first have and and sold out? Oh is it really? Yeah?

19
00:01:14.760 --> 00:01:17.000
Okay, yeah, Well he gave
me a shout out on the radio.

20
00:01:17.120 --> 00:01:19.799
He's like, thanks Dave, Ryan. Do you remember that? Yes,

21
00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:25.159
you do, don't pretend you don't. That was something that Rich was like,

22
00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:26.719
Hey, can you say this name
real quick? He goes, sorry,

23
00:01:26.719 --> 00:01:32.599
how do I pronounce it? And
so shabboozy was going through Melissa's mind

24
00:01:32.680 --> 00:01:38.599
last night. Right now, go
through my mind? Is havanaha halfa?

25
00:01:38.959 --> 00:01:42.959
Did you hear it? Or you
just don't know? I don't know.

26
00:01:44.680 --> 00:01:48.760
At any one point you'll have a
song going through your mind. But right

27
00:01:48.799 --> 00:01:51.359
now, let's get some other things
going through your mind. On the Minnesota

28
00:01:51.400 --> 00:01:55.760
goodbye. Let's start off with this
one. And my computer is acting a

29
00:01:55.760 --> 00:01:57.120
little bit slow as a matter of
fact. Okay, here we go,

30
00:01:57.200 --> 00:02:01.719
maybe this will work now morning,
just catching up on some episodes, and

31
00:02:01.760 --> 00:02:05.599
of course I have to get your
thoughts on something to do with flying.

32
00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:10.240
What's with all the planes dropping with
crazy turbulence? Three recently that were pretty

33
00:02:10.280 --> 00:02:15.240
intense, dropping thousands of feet.
One was four hundred feet above the water,

34
00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:19.520
another overseas, and the last one
I can't remember if it dropped or

35
00:02:19.520 --> 00:02:23.039
had a failure whatever. I thought
they had equipment that it detects turbulence,

36
00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:28.840
so they know to avoid the massive
pockets. What is actually causing these really

37
00:02:28.919 --> 00:02:32.280
crazy situations? Okay, they're asking
me because I'm a pilot. That's christy,

38
00:02:34.360 --> 00:02:38.680
and it's just this time of the
year. There's a lot of hot

39
00:02:38.719 --> 00:02:43.080
air that gets heated and it rises
because it's hot, and then it gets

40
00:02:43.159 --> 00:02:46.960
up in the cold atmosphere, and
then it suddenly falls because hot rises cold

41
00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:52.159
falls. So you fly through this
rise fall, rise fall, but there's

42
00:02:52.159 --> 00:02:55.360
no equipment that detects turbulence necessary.
It's reported by other pilots. So if

43
00:02:55.400 --> 00:02:58.319
you're flying out of Denver and they
go, it's going to be kind of

44
00:02:58.319 --> 00:03:01.520
a bumpy ride on the way back. They only know that because other pilots

45
00:03:01.520 --> 00:03:06.840
on that route have reported it.
It's called the pie REP, which stands

46
00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:10.840
for Pilot Report pi REP. So
now you know, could have gone without

47
00:03:10.879 --> 00:03:15.039
having to hear any of that information. Considering I already don't like flying,

48
00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:19.120
and I leave on Wednesday to go
to Seattle, so I hate hearing stuff

49
00:03:19.159 --> 00:03:23.400
about planes, especially right before I'm
to fly. Well, speaking of you,

50
00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:24.879
say you're flying to Seattle. Yeah, it's one of the bumpiest routes

51
00:03:24.879 --> 00:03:28.199
in America. No, what is? And I've done it before. I

52
00:03:28.240 --> 00:03:31.199
will say those Seattle's routes. To
Bend was the or Bend to Seattle was

53
00:03:31.240 --> 00:03:35.840
the scariest flight of my entire fucking
life. It was like, it's only

54
00:03:35.919 --> 00:03:39.199
like forty five minutes and the flight
attendants had to be strapped in the entire

55
00:03:39.199 --> 00:03:43.960
time. It was NonStop turbulence.
I had a panic attack in the Seattle

56
00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:46.520
airport and I almost did not get
on the plane back to MSP because I

57
00:03:46.599 --> 00:03:51.000
was so scared. Well, it's
interesting because this kind of segues into the

58
00:03:51.039 --> 00:03:53.919
next part of Christie's email. Also
wanted to give Jinny a round of applause

59
00:03:53.919 --> 00:03:59.719
about her vulnerability about her anxiety.
I myself have struggled this year, but

60
00:03:59.759 --> 00:04:02.840
it's gotten better. Most hide it
until it's crippling them. I happy find

61
00:04:02.840 --> 00:04:06.400
I'm happy you found help. It's
not easy, but it does it,

62
00:04:06.719 --> 00:04:11.360
but it does get better. Sending
you an air hug, peace out homies

63
00:04:11.360 --> 00:04:15.360
for keeping it real from Christy.
Thanks Christine. Yeah, thank you very

64
00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:19.319
much. Let's go up to this
one, and I have not pre read

65
00:04:19.360 --> 00:04:24.319
it, but let's see where it
goes. Hillary Here, Hi friends,

66
00:04:24.360 --> 00:04:28.319
I was listening to one of your
podcasts today from twenty twenty. Okay,

67
00:04:29.079 --> 00:04:30.560
you all were talking about irrational fear, so I thought i'd chime in.

68
00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:33.879
Dave, you said, you have
an irrational fear of an airplane flying into

69
00:04:33.920 --> 00:04:40.240
your house. I mean, if
you think about it, you could be

70
00:04:40.639 --> 00:04:43.800
you think you're safe and warm and
home when you're on the couch or you're

71
00:04:43.839 --> 00:04:47.480
in bed, and it doesn't matter
where you are. A giant airliner could

72
00:04:47.560 --> 00:04:54.759
fly into Minneapolis, lose an engine, plummet nose first into your kitchen,

73
00:04:54.839 --> 00:04:59.319
and kill everybody. Now you might
think that this is very improbable, but

74
00:04:59.480 --> 00:05:02.279
there was a light probably back in
the late fifties or early sixties, that

75
00:05:02.439 --> 00:05:06.959
was trying to land coming from Cottage
Grove. It was a giant airliner back

76
00:05:06.959 --> 00:05:13.360
in the day propeller airliners coming from
the Cottage Grove area flying northwest. So

77
00:05:13.399 --> 00:05:18.079
if you think of Cottage Grove toward
Maple Grove landing and it was snowy and

78
00:05:18.279 --> 00:05:21.879
rainy or something, and they couldn't
see the runway so they kept trying to

79
00:05:21.959 --> 00:05:26.560
land, kept getting lower, they
missed the airport, and they crashed into

80
00:05:26.600 --> 00:05:31.000
a house right by Mini Haha Creek, killed two kids that were upstairs in

81
00:05:31.040 --> 00:05:34.639
bed. And so here's these kids
upstairs in bed, little kids six or

82
00:05:34.680 --> 00:05:38.279
eight years old, and it crashed
into their house and killed them. What

83
00:05:38.399 --> 00:05:41.759
kind of plane was it? Like
a big a passenger plane, like a

84
00:05:41.800 --> 00:05:46.199
regular passenger plane, probably TWA or
Northwest or something like that. And if

85
00:05:46.199 --> 00:05:47.639
you look it up, I mean, it probably wouldn't be too hard to

86
00:05:47.639 --> 00:05:53.600
find. But there's a monument next
to the house on Mini Haha Creek about

87
00:05:53.639 --> 00:05:57.000
the plane crash back in the fifties
or sixties, and it was bad weather.

88
00:05:57.040 --> 00:05:59.879
They couldn't see the runway, and
so when a pilot can't see the

89
00:06:00.040 --> 00:06:02.759
runway back then they'd keep getting a
little bit lower and a little bit lower

90
00:06:02.879 --> 00:06:08.560
till they could maybe see it while
they flew over it and over shot that

91
00:06:08.680 --> 00:06:12.560
for sure. So yeah, at
one time in nineteen fifty year, like

92
00:06:12.600 --> 00:06:15.399
it could happen to me, It
could happen. Well, listen to this,

93
00:06:15.399 --> 00:06:18.079
This almost happened to me. I
currently live in Minneapolis, but I

94
00:06:18.079 --> 00:06:23.480
grew up in New Richmond, Wisconsin. When I was seventeen. My mother

95
00:06:23.639 --> 00:06:28.480
and I were in our kitchen when
suddenly we heard a very loud sound over

96
00:06:28.519 --> 00:06:31.199
the roof of our house, followed
by an incredible explosion that shook our home.

97
00:06:31.879 --> 00:06:36.000
A single engineer plane had crashed into
the house two doors down from me.

98
00:06:36.879 --> 00:06:40.560
My mother and I ran outside,
thinking of it a big car crash,

99
00:06:40.680 --> 00:06:45.160
only to see a plane and the
house engulfed in flames. No one

100
00:06:45.199 --> 00:06:47.959
could get close to the plane as
the flames were so hot. Mothers were

101
00:06:47.959 --> 00:06:51.920
screaming for their children who'd been outside
plane at the time. Unfortunately, both

102
00:06:51.959 --> 00:06:57.160
the pilot and the training on board
passed. It was a terrifying experience,

103
00:06:57.199 --> 00:07:00.240
one that I will never forget.
I guess my point is too that I

104
00:07:00.279 --> 00:07:03.639
have that fear. I also have
a concert recurring nightmare that I myself am

105
00:07:03.680 --> 00:07:08.319
involved in a plane crash. AnyWho
just want to let you know you're not

106
00:07:08.439 --> 00:07:13.759
alone in this fear, you have
some legitimate reason, Yeah, wow,

107
00:07:14.360 --> 00:07:17.360
to be afraid of that. I
really do not. Side note, I

108
00:07:17.560 --> 00:07:21.720
also have an irrational fear of taking
new medication. I have a medical background

109
00:07:21.720 --> 00:07:28.439
and witnessed anaphylaxis many times. I've
actually avoided taking new meds ones that I've

110
00:07:28.439 --> 00:07:31.160
not been exposed to, even when
I've been really sick and needed the meds.

111
00:07:31.480 --> 00:07:38.480
Fears suck. Love you all from
Hillary. Anybody else have any irrational

112
00:07:38.519 --> 00:07:43.879
fear? I mean, I check. I checked the toilet every single time

113
00:07:43.879 --> 00:07:46.519
before I go to the bathroom in
the morning, because the one spot in

114
00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:50.720
our house that always has centipedes or
spiders is our bathroom, and I'm so

115
00:07:50.839 --> 00:07:54.759
scared of there being one in the
toilet and crawling up a bee hole.

116
00:07:55.079 --> 00:07:59.639
Uh huh, So that's one of
mine. But I have a lot of

117
00:07:59.680 --> 00:08:03.600
Your fear is just like flying and
dying. Yeah, I have a fear

118
00:08:03.720 --> 00:08:11.560
of, like irrationally scared of very
specific brand of bald man. Like it

119
00:08:11.639 --> 00:08:18.560
has to be a skinny white man
who's completely bald, no beard or anything,

120
00:08:18.639 --> 00:08:24.399
who has kind of like creepy eyes. So clean, No, not

121
00:08:24.480 --> 00:08:28.399
mister Clean, because mister Clean has
a nice face. He has a pleasant

122
00:08:28.439 --> 00:08:30.680
face. He's a pleasant face,
and he's kind of like beefy. But

123
00:08:30.759 --> 00:08:33.840
if it's like a skinny I'm thinking
of like Billy Corgan from The Smashing Pumpkins.

124
00:08:35.240 --> 00:08:37.360
Truly, my greatest fear of all
time. If I saw that man

125
00:08:37.600 --> 00:08:43.600
anywhere, I would feel like this
guy instantly uncomfortable and start to cry.

126
00:08:43.679 --> 00:08:46.440
I saw a guy at the State
Fair. I was probably like twelve,

127
00:08:46.879 --> 00:08:50.039
and this guy was leaning up against
a tree talking on his cell phone.

128
00:08:50.080 --> 00:08:52.960
He was wearing black pants and a
blue shirt, and he was bald,

129
00:08:54.159 --> 00:08:58.080
and he had the creepiest eyes and
he was on his phone and I locked

130
00:08:58.120 --> 00:09:01.200
eyes with him, and then he
hung up his phone like smirked at me

131
00:09:01.559 --> 00:09:05.200
and walked away, and I bald
my eyes out the entire way home.

132
00:09:05.279 --> 00:09:09.039
How old were you? Like twelve? Oh? Okay, maybe like twelve,

133
00:09:09.039 --> 00:09:11.159
thirteen, fourteen or something like that. But like, ever since that

134
00:09:11.279 --> 00:09:16.679
guy, I any bald man who
has scary eyes freaks me out, freaks

135
00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:22.240
me out so bad. Okay,
you know I think that I think that

136
00:09:22.840 --> 00:09:24.679
I get it. Yeah, they
don't with me personally. I will agree

137
00:09:24.679 --> 00:09:28.679
that Billy Corgan is kind of an
odd looking guy. But you know,

138
00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:31.080
I look at somebody like that and
I think it's not his fault. You

139
00:09:31.120 --> 00:09:33.120
know. Billy Corgan is just he's
you know, he's a very talented,

140
00:09:33.519 --> 00:09:37.120
like, you know, musical songwriter. Whatever. Come on. He wrote

141
00:09:37.159 --> 00:09:45.080
nineteen seventy nine, shake Down nineteen
seven nine, love that song one Am

142
00:09:45.080 --> 00:09:50.480
I My Face, one of my
favorite songs ever. But yeah, I

143
00:09:50.480 --> 00:09:52.000
don't know, but I think you
must have had some trauma with a bald

144
00:09:52.039 --> 00:09:56.960
guy or maybe a bald movie character. Yeah. Well that guy at the

145
00:09:56.960 --> 00:09:58.440
stay Fair that was the one that
started it looked at me like he was

146
00:09:58.480 --> 00:10:03.960
going to kill me and then eat
me something like that, so dramatic.

147
00:10:03.120 --> 00:10:07.720
He was probably super friendly and just
a little bit odd. He was wearing

148
00:10:07.759 --> 00:10:11.159
corduroy black pants and a blue shimmery
button up shirt. I remember it like

149
00:10:11.240 --> 00:10:13.360
it was yesterday. Can I tell
you that when I'm in public as an

150
00:10:13.360 --> 00:10:18.320
older guy, I try to never
make contact with young girls, especially because

151
00:10:18.360 --> 00:10:22.360
I don't ever want ever them to
have like some trauma where like some old

152
00:10:22.399 --> 00:10:26.840
guy was staring at me. So
I very because I've got daughters, sure,

153
00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:31.759
and I don't want to be a
horrible memory of Like let's say that

154
00:10:31.799 --> 00:10:35.440
I'm in line at you I don't
know target, And let's say that there's

155
00:10:35.440 --> 00:10:39.399
a girl in the shopping cart in
front of me, and I could look

156
00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:43.679
at her and it might creep around. And I don't ever want a girl

157
00:10:43.720 --> 00:10:48.559
to grow up remembering the creepy motherfucker
that stared at her, so I don't

158
00:10:48.559 --> 00:10:50.039
look well. I wish that bald
guy would have had that same kind of

159
00:10:50.440 --> 00:10:54.000
ideal ideology as you. Yeah,
he was probably trying to smile and be

160
00:10:54.080 --> 00:10:56.240
pleasant, and you thought it was
an evil smirk. He was. It

161
00:10:56.240 --> 00:11:01.159
was an evil smirk. He went, Okay, all right. Next One

162
00:11:01.279 --> 00:11:05.360
Morning show, crew, my name
is Ben, go ahead and say my

163
00:11:05.480 --> 00:11:09.919
name. On Thursday's Minnesota Goodbye,
Dave was talking about his experience with facial

164
00:11:09.960 --> 00:11:13.679
blindness and how he hadn't discovered it
until a little bit later in life.

165
00:11:13.240 --> 00:11:18.679
I don't personally have facial blindness,
but listening to Dave's story inspired me to

166
00:11:18.679 --> 00:11:22.120
write in about a similar experience I
had a year or so ago, just

167
00:11:22.159 --> 00:11:26.120
to recap incation missed it. I
don't always recognize faces, especially out of

168
00:11:26.120 --> 00:11:30.440
context. And I realized this ten
fifteen years ago when Carson came to a

169
00:11:30.480 --> 00:11:33.320
broadcast at Caribou Coffee and he was
about ten years old, and he stood

170
00:11:33.320 --> 00:11:37.159
in front of the table, and
I didn't recognize my own son because it

171
00:11:37.240 --> 00:11:41.399
was unexpected and out of context.
Yeah, just for a second, And

172
00:11:41.399 --> 00:11:43.320
then I did a few minutes later. But I mean, i'd like,

173
00:11:43.519 --> 00:11:46.919
literally for ten seconds. I looked
at this little boy and I thought,

174
00:11:46.960 --> 00:11:48.240
Oh, that's cute. He came
here with his mother to see the show.

175
00:11:48.320 --> 00:11:54.799
Oh god, that's Carson. Last
year, scrolling through social media,

176
00:11:54.919 --> 00:11:58.759
I came across a post where someone
was describing their inability to picture things in

177
00:11:58.799 --> 00:12:03.679
my I'm in their mind. By
the time I finished reading the post in

178
00:12:03.720 --> 00:12:07.440
some of the comments, my mind
was blown because I realized that I cannot

179
00:12:07.720 --> 00:12:13.960
see or imagine images in my mind
either. Well, let's try something for

180
00:12:13.000 --> 00:12:16.600
a second. Imagine right now.
In apple pie, Yeah, describe your

181
00:12:16.600 --> 00:12:22.840
apple pie. H it is a
big, round, large dinner plate size,

182
00:12:22.960 --> 00:12:26.879
it's got a crumble crust on top, and it's got those little like

183
00:12:26.320 --> 00:12:30.679
scent lines coming up from Yeah.
Okay, but it's pretty vivid, right,

184
00:12:31.000 --> 00:12:33.080
Okay, Jenny, describe your apple. I would say, just yeah,

185
00:12:33.120 --> 00:12:35.759
the light brown. I was going
regular crust, not crumble. You

186
00:12:35.799 --> 00:12:39.399
know, the edges are overflowing with
the bottom crust over the little tray and

187
00:12:39.440 --> 00:12:45.159
then yeah, the little X in
the middle to be able to breathe.

188
00:12:45.879 --> 00:12:48.120
And I can see that in my
brain, so I know exactly what that

189
00:12:48.120 --> 00:12:50.480
person's talking about. I've read about
that, oh four two that some people

190
00:12:50.519 --> 00:12:54.240
cannot visualize something in their head.
Well, this person goes on. Ben

191
00:12:54.320 --> 00:12:58.279
goes on to say, upon further
research, I found out this inability to

192
00:12:58.399 --> 00:13:05.919
visualize mental images is called aff and
affantasia. Like most things involving the brain,

193
00:13:05.000 --> 00:13:09.440
there are varying levels at which people
can be affected by afantasia. But

194
00:13:09.559 --> 00:13:13.200
for me, if I try and
visualize an image, all I see is

195
00:13:13.360 --> 00:13:18.000
darkness. Wow. Wow, that's
kind of scary it is, and it's

196
00:13:18.080 --> 00:13:20.279
you know, like you said,
varying levels. The best way I found

197
00:13:20.279 --> 00:13:24.639
to demonstrate this is for people is
simply have them close their eyes and visualize

198
00:13:24.639 --> 00:13:28.240
something like an apple. That's where
I got the idea for apple pie.

199
00:13:28.879 --> 00:13:31.200
If you can see an image of
an apple in your mind, then you

200
00:13:31.240 --> 00:13:35.559
are likely a majority of the population. If you cannot see the apple,

201
00:13:35.679 --> 00:13:37.600
or you only see the outline,
or maybe a black and white version of

202
00:13:37.600 --> 00:13:41.639
the apple, then you have afantasia. So let's just imagine an apple,

203
00:13:41.879 --> 00:13:46.120
oh, clearly, vividly. I
got a green little I gotta shine on

204
00:13:46.159 --> 00:13:48.120
the corner of it, I got
little black specks on it. I've got

205
00:13:48.120 --> 00:13:52.320
a green little sprout coming off the
side. You got an apple, Bailey,

206
00:13:52.519 --> 00:13:56.240
Mine's red and round and has like
a little bit of yellow in it.

207
00:13:56.440 --> 00:14:00.440
Okay, Yeah, Jenny, mine
is a honeycresp specifically, so it's

208
00:14:00.519 --> 00:14:03.879
kind of like your reddish one,
but has like the lighter color to it,

209
00:14:03.919 --> 00:14:07.919
and it's more round, like a
good round apple. Ben goes on

210
00:14:07.960 --> 00:14:11.039
to say, I spent thirty years
of my life thinking that everyone visualized things

211
00:14:11.080 --> 00:14:13.840
in their mind the way I did, and that when people talked about their

212
00:14:13.879 --> 00:14:18.600
mind's eye or visualizing something in their
head, it was more a figure of

213
00:14:18.639 --> 00:14:22.320
speech. Just goes to show you
how different and unique each of us can

214
00:14:22.399 --> 00:14:28.320
be, right, Thanks for the
sign off. That is our that is

215
00:14:28.360 --> 00:14:31.120
our alternate sign off. If you
don't like to say dart lick, that's

216
00:14:31.159 --> 00:14:37.159
fine, all right from Ben Ben. Really interesting. I think that you

217
00:14:37.200 --> 00:14:39.279
know, we all have different things
like and we talked about yesterday, how

218
00:14:39.279 --> 00:14:43.200
it's like on like the autistic scale, Like you can have like somebody who

219
00:14:43.320 --> 00:14:46.200
like, yeah, my son has
autism, and you'd be like, I

220
00:14:46.240 --> 00:14:50.679
really had no idea. I know
somebody whose son has either Asperger's, which

221
00:14:50.679 --> 00:14:52.159
I think is like a differences just
a different form of autism. Yeah,

222
00:14:52.279 --> 00:14:56.360
and you really wouldn't know except they
blink their eyes really hard. They blink

223
00:14:56.440 --> 00:15:01.679
really hard, and that's really their
only and they do struggle with some you

224
00:15:01.720 --> 00:15:05.639
know, daily challenges, but other
kids do too. You know, they

225
00:15:05.679 --> 00:15:09.000
will clean your fucking room. I
can't. I've got aspergers. That's what

226
00:15:09.039 --> 00:15:11.240
I should have done when I was
a kid. I think they say that,

227
00:15:11.279 --> 00:15:15.559
but you know, maybe they do. I can't ass I have aspergers.

228
00:15:15.600 --> 00:15:18.399
We're definitely not making jokes about people
with aspergers. We're just having fun,

229
00:15:18.519 --> 00:15:24.879
so get over it. And then
Alison says, hello, crew,

230
00:15:26.519 --> 00:15:28.000
Dave. I want to say I
totally feel your frustration when it comes to

231
00:15:28.080 --> 00:15:33.759
not recognizing faces. My problem is
names. I suck so much at names,

232
00:15:33.759 --> 00:15:35.200
but I can do great with faces. This is the kicker. I

233
00:15:35.240 --> 00:15:41.039
am an elementary art teacher, so
when I run into a student I used

234
00:15:41.080 --> 00:15:45.639
to have I know their face,
but I immediately forgot their names. It's

235
00:15:45.639 --> 00:15:48.639
the worst. I was their teacher
for years and now I feel like a

236
00:15:48.720 --> 00:15:50.759
jerk for not remembering their name.
To be fair, I do get to

237
00:15:50.759 --> 00:15:54.240
see all three hundred plus students we
have, so I got to give myself

238
00:15:54.240 --> 00:15:58.919
some slack for not remembering hundreds and
hundreds of names. Still, I feel

239
00:15:58.919 --> 00:16:00.840
like a jerk for or not for
not doing this. Oh well, love

240
00:16:00.919 --> 00:16:04.720
y'all from Alison. Alison, I
give you a total one pass. On

241
00:16:04.759 --> 00:16:08.600
that one pass, because you're expected
to know three hundred kids, they're expected

242
00:16:08.639 --> 00:16:11.399
to know one teacher you. Well, that's the thing, is the teacher

243
00:16:11.639 --> 00:16:15.279
they will know. Let's say,
little Jennifer comes up, is like,

244
00:16:15.360 --> 00:16:18.879
hello, I'll miss Allison. I
had you when I was in fifth grade,

245
00:16:19.000 --> 00:16:22.240
and now she's twenty. She talks
funny for a twenty year old.

246
00:16:22.600 --> 00:16:29.200
And then Alison might remember the face, but absolutely the name right, Like

247
00:16:30.039 --> 00:16:33.320
especially if you need to learn three
hundred names every single year, absolutely not

248
00:16:33.360 --> 00:16:37.519
give yourself a bit of a break, give yourself some grace. You're all

249
00:16:37.600 --> 00:16:45.919
right, Joe writes in and says
regarding episode Bleaky the Puppet. Did we

250
00:16:45.960 --> 00:16:49.039
title one Bleaky the Puppet? It
did because someone said that that's who Bailey

251
00:16:49.120 --> 00:16:52.600
is, so that I titled it. I would like to formally accept a

252
00:16:52.639 --> 00:16:56.519
position in the Minnesota Goodbye Top ten
staff Writers of America, And I would

253
00:16:56.559 --> 00:17:02.960
like to thank Davy Jensen, Vontell
and hey for this honor. What the

254
00:17:03.000 --> 00:17:06.799
fuck I leave you with the wise
words of my father, Get off the

255
00:17:06.880 --> 00:17:10.839
damn shed that is Joe Staff rider
since two thousand and eight. This is

256
00:17:10.880 --> 00:17:15.759
full of misinformation anything the damn shed
that. I think he's trying to say.

257
00:17:17.160 --> 00:17:18.759
I can't get anything right, not
me, but him. And it's

258
00:17:18.759 --> 00:17:22.880
funny because he calls me Davy,
you, Jensen, Vontel, and then

259
00:17:22.000 --> 00:17:26.680
Hayley instead of Bailey. I like
Jenson. I want to start calling Jenny

260
00:17:26.759 --> 00:17:30.640
Jensen. I'll take it. I
don't mind that, Jensen. So thank

261
00:17:30.680 --> 00:17:33.519
you Joe in Turlock, California.
I appreciate that one. Uh, this

262
00:17:33.559 --> 00:17:38.200
is one from Kim and it's not
really a Minnesota goodbye, but I'm just

263
00:17:38.240 --> 00:17:41.000
gonna say that her. She goes
on to say, my nine year old

264
00:17:41.039 --> 00:17:45.079
son Kellen is a huge KDWB fan. When I tell you he's a huge

265
00:17:45.119 --> 00:17:48.599
KDBB fan, I'm not kidding.
Next month he's turning ten and he has

266
00:17:48.680 --> 00:17:56.200
requested a KDWB themed birthday. Boo
Kay listens every single day he wakes up,

267
00:17:56.240 --> 00:18:00.720
turns on his weather radio, or
puts on iHeartRadio on Alex. He

268
00:18:00.799 --> 00:18:03.680
listens almost all day if he can, falls asleep to it at night.

269
00:18:03.720 --> 00:18:07.720
Now that he's out of school,
he listens in the afternoon. He's been

270
00:18:07.720 --> 00:18:10.119
doing this for so long. We
go to events where you guys have been

271
00:18:10.160 --> 00:18:12.119
so he could meet you. With
big changes over the past year, we

272
00:18:12.160 --> 00:18:17.720
have some new members of the show
we have not met yet, but the

273
00:18:17.759 --> 00:18:21.480
love is there nonetheless. He talks
about his birthday where Dave's saying him Happy

274
00:18:21.480 --> 00:18:25.000
Birthday and played the ukulele on the
radio. I am sure you heard his

275
00:18:25.039 --> 00:18:27.799
screens from her house all the way
in Moundsview. He now has his own

276
00:18:27.880 --> 00:18:32.079
yuke that I am slowly trying to
teach him how to play. He knows

277
00:18:32.119 --> 00:18:36.359
all the theme songs for the games
and everybody plays, and is always telling

278
00:18:36.359 --> 00:18:40.400
me the facts that he learned listening
all day, the best of the giggles

279
00:18:40.400 --> 00:18:42.440
coming from in the afternoon when he's
listening to Fallon and Cult. I could

280
00:18:42.440 --> 00:18:45.240
tell you a million and one stories
about how Katie WB is now part of

281
00:18:45.240 --> 00:18:48.960
our lives in ways I didn't realize. You are special and your voices on

282
00:18:48.960 --> 00:18:53.799
the radio are special to my goofy
little dude. I think that's so sweet.

283
00:18:55.680 --> 00:18:57.519
She finishes up by saying, this
is where I have a simple ask

284
00:18:57.599 --> 00:19:02.680
from you guys, hoping to get
some of your favorite but easy and kid

285
00:19:02.680 --> 00:19:06.160
friendly party foods and snacks. I
would also love it. If you could

286
00:19:06.160 --> 00:19:07.799
get a photo of you guys or
shots to print out for the food,

287
00:19:08.079 --> 00:19:12.319
I can always steal them from social
media if that's easier. I want a

288
00:19:12.319 --> 00:19:15.720
logo, she does say. I
want she said, if you have one?

289
00:19:15.119 --> 00:19:18.079
Blah blah blah. She says,
is their copyright problems? No,

290
00:19:18.279 --> 00:19:21.640
steal the logo. We don't care. Yeah, I don't. We don't

291
00:19:21.680 --> 00:19:23.240
have that issue. I want to
print it out for decor. And Kellen

292
00:19:23.319 --> 00:19:26.400
is really pushing my creative boundaries with
his party. I would have loved to

293
00:19:26.400 --> 00:19:30.240
make it extra fun for him since
he's going to be double digits. That

294
00:19:30.400 --> 00:19:34.079
is the sweetest email of the week. Yes, that is so cool.

295
00:19:34.240 --> 00:19:38.359
I love that. I love the
hyperfixation. I'm just like loving KDWB of

296
00:19:38.400 --> 00:19:41.799
all things. I love it,
you know. And the funny thing is,

297
00:19:41.960 --> 00:19:45.799
like all kids that have a fixation
or just a passion at that age,

298
00:19:45.880 --> 00:19:52.160
he'll outgrow it one day, kind
of like Carson used to love WWE

299
00:19:52.279 --> 00:19:55.960
wrestling. He had all the figures. He had a little wrestling ring,

300
00:19:56.039 --> 00:20:00.799
a little toy wrestling ring about the
size of I don't know, an airport

301
00:20:02.000 --> 00:20:06.279
and airliner tray that folds down in
front of you, and he would watch

302
00:20:06.400 --> 00:20:11.680
WWE wrestling and he would grab this
wrestler and this wrestler and play along and

303
00:20:11.839 --> 00:20:15.960
act out the match while he watched
it. And that went on until he

304
00:20:15.079 --> 00:20:19.880
was probably ten or so, and
then his passion just you know went away.

305
00:20:19.960 --> 00:20:22.960
Yeah, something else, because you
have a passion when you're a little

306
00:20:23.039 --> 00:20:27.640
kid. So one day Kellen will
kind of move on. It's kind of

307
00:20:27.720 --> 00:20:33.759
like Puff the Magic Dragon. You
know the story, Puff the Magic Dragon.

308
00:20:33.920 --> 00:20:36.119
He lives the sea. Well not
only that, but he used to

309
00:20:36.119 --> 00:20:40.200
play the little Jackie Paper love that
rascal Puff, and he would come and

310
00:20:40.200 --> 00:20:42.160
play with Puff the Magic Dragon.
Yep, don't smirk at me. You

311
00:20:42.279 --> 00:20:47.119
lit be word waiting for you to
tell the rest of the story. Yeah,

312
00:20:47.319 --> 00:20:48.839
do you not know the story of
Puff the Magic Dragon? And tell

313
00:20:48.880 --> 00:20:53.319
me I don't remember it. I'll
go I remember the song that Love the

314
00:20:53.440 --> 00:20:57.079
Magic Drag. While you're looking that
up. We should give recommendations for what

315
00:20:57.160 --> 00:21:00.920
she asked. She asked for foods
that we think would be kid centric.

316
00:21:02.079 --> 00:21:04.160
And I would say that my top
one is puppy Chow, which I still

317
00:21:04.200 --> 00:21:08.039
make for so many different things,
but I think it's perfect for kids at

318
00:21:08.039 --> 00:21:11.799
a birthday party, Jenny should make
me some puppy chow. Let's be honest,

319
00:21:12.480 --> 00:21:17.319
okay. So Puff the Magic Dragon
lived by the sea. Little Jackie

320
00:21:17.359 --> 00:21:21.599
Paper loved that rascal Puff and brought
him strings and sealing wax and other fancy

321
00:21:21.599 --> 00:21:25.640
stuff so they would have the fun
together, and they would play together.

322
00:21:26.279 --> 00:21:29.720
And then it gets sad. A
dragon lives forever, but not so little

323
00:21:29.720 --> 00:21:33.680
boys. Painted wings and giant rings
make way for other toys. One gray

324
00:21:33.839 --> 00:21:37.759
night it happened. Jackie Paper came
no more. I'm gonna get sad,

325
00:21:38.759 --> 00:21:42.640
and Puff that mighty dragon. He
seized his fearless roar. His head was

326
00:21:42.680 --> 00:21:48.440
bent in sorrow. Green scales fell
like rain. Puff no longer went to

327
00:21:48.480 --> 00:21:52.240
play along the cherry Lane without his
lifelong friend. I'm gonna get sad.

328
00:21:52.559 --> 00:21:56.559
Puff could not be brave. So
Puff the Mighty Dragon sadly slipped into his

329
00:21:56.640 --> 00:22:00.200
cave. I'm getting emotional because we
would sing this in second grade and the

330
00:22:00.200 --> 00:22:04.200
girls would cry. Yeah, because
it's about a little kid growing up and

331
00:22:04.240 --> 00:22:08.240
he doesn't play with his dragon friend
anymore. Isn't that sad? But it's

332
00:22:08.279 --> 00:22:12.599
like that the toy story In Toy
Story two, when she loved me Yes

333
00:22:12.680 --> 00:22:15.960
and little Jesse. Yeah, was
now ignored and put on a show.

334
00:22:17.319 --> 00:22:19.079
Yeah, how can that not make
you emotional? I thought it was about

335
00:22:19.119 --> 00:22:22.480
smoking weed. God damn you,
Jenny. Everything has got to be about

336
00:22:22.480 --> 00:22:26.000
weed with you. Okay. So
