WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.560 --> 00:00:03.560 Jenny and I were just talking about things that we want to do on the 2 00:00:03.560 --> 00:00:06.280 show that we haven't gotten to. And I remember that this is a true 3 00:00:06.320 --> 00:00:12.640 story that last night I had a dream where I said, Jenny, I 4 00:00:12.679 --> 00:00:15.640 want to bring up ABC and bring it up on the show, and you 5 00:00:15.919 --> 00:00:19.600 laughed at me and you said, do not remember we did that yesterday? 6 00:00:20.079 --> 00:00:23.239 And I sat there in my dream and I tried to remember, and I 7 00:00:23.239 --> 00:00:26.199 couldn't remember. I think the thing is we come up with so many ideas 8 00:00:26.239 --> 00:00:31.399 for the show that we we have a plethora a Shmorgas board of an ideas 9 00:00:31.800 --> 00:00:36.439 that we sometimes we don't get to and there'll be one. There's a woman, 10 00:00:36.479 --> 00:00:39.479 for example, and she was a guy who wrote in and I'm going 11 00:00:39.520 --> 00:00:42.479 to try to get a hold of him because it happened a couple of days 12 00:00:42.479 --> 00:00:44.000 ago, and I thought, oh, we need to get him on the 13 00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:47.119 show. And he was saying that he went on a date with a girl, 14 00:00:47.240 --> 00:00:51.119 met her on tender. I think, yeah, And he got, 15 00:00:51.200 --> 00:00:54.280 you know, dressed up nice, not gorgeous, but you know, he 16 00:00:54.359 --> 00:00:58.479 dressed up nice and they went to a nice Mexican restaurant and he got a 17 00:00:58.520 --> 00:01:00.880 table that overlooked they don't live here. So it overlooked a lake or a 18 00:01:00.920 --> 00:01:04.840 mountain or something, and it was a beautiful view. And she showed up 19 00:01:04.840 --> 00:01:07.760 in a ball cap, and he was like, I was a little bit 20 00:01:07.840 --> 00:01:14.560 hurt because I went to the trouble of a nice restaurant and I dressed up, 21 00:01:14.719 --> 00:01:15.640 you know, a little bit. He probably wasn't wearing a tie or 22 00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:19.319 anything, and then she showed up in a ball cap. And so that's 23 00:01:19.319 --> 00:01:22.640 one of those things where, Jenny, we got to remember to call that 24 00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:25.959 guy soon, or it's going to be so old that he won't want to 25 00:01:25.959 --> 00:01:27.879 talk about it anymore. For sure. I love that in your dream, 26 00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:30.719 your subconscious still has me being like, Dave, come on, like we 27 00:01:30.760 --> 00:01:34.799 already did. You laughed at me, Jenny, you laughed at me. 28 00:01:34.840 --> 00:01:37.400 By the way, here's another little fun fact before we get to the heart 29 00:01:37.439 --> 00:01:41.680 of the show, and that is your Minnesota goodbye emails. This morning, 30 00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:47.079 Jenny and I pulled in the parking garage about the same time. And I 31 00:01:47.319 --> 00:01:49.040 sometimes when that happens, I'll sneak up on Jenny with my phone and try 32 00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:55.879 to get a video of her as I scare her. Now, Jenny was 33 00:01:55.959 --> 00:01:59.000 laughing. She said, I flashed you because I got out of the car. 34 00:01:59.480 --> 00:02:01.400 She had her legs open, and she said she flashed me, and 35 00:02:01.400 --> 00:02:04.799 I went dress by the way, Yes, right exactly. It wasn't like 36 00:02:04.840 --> 00:02:07.640 she would Yeah, so I looked at it. I did the thing where 37 00:02:07.760 --> 00:02:13.000 I didn't hit record. I'm showing Jenny the video right now. I didn't 38 00:02:13.039 --> 00:02:19.080 hit record until I thought I stopped the recording. So I'm showing Jenny the 39 00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:21.520 video right now, and I'll just play it for you down the phone. 40 00:02:21.599 --> 00:02:28.280 Nice beautiful parking ramp. Yeah, here it is. So that was the 41 00:02:28.360 --> 00:02:30.599 video. So I did not get the video, h you flashing? So 42 00:02:31.319 --> 00:02:37.479 all right, let's get on with the emails for the Minnesota goodbye, and 43 00:02:37.639 --> 00:02:43.560 let's get started. We're to start off with Elizabeth as she says, Hello, 44 00:02:43.800 --> 00:02:46.400 David, I have a question for you. I don't remember hearing them 45 00:02:46.439 --> 00:02:50.240 my eighteen years of listening to Katie WB. How did you become a pilot? 46 00:02:50.280 --> 00:02:53.759 I know you went to the Air Academy high school and your dad was 47 00:02:53.759 --> 00:02:58.759 an aeronautic engineer something like that. Once you say it, I'll kick myself, 48 00:02:58.759 --> 00:03:00.599 assuming my answer is wrong that I I forgot it. Anyway, did 49 00:03:00.599 --> 00:03:04.639 your dad teach you did you learn for a radio bit? Did you learn 50 00:03:04.680 --> 00:03:08.039 to get the ladies back in your hey day? As I type that out 51 00:03:08.039 --> 00:03:14.080 grammatically corrected, grammarly corrected my typing. Am I the only one who is 52 00:03:14.120 --> 00:03:17.240 today years old when they learned that heyday isn't spelled like hay as in the 53 00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:23.319 crop, but is in hey as in high heyday is spelled h e y 54 00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:28.039 day. I didn't know that, but I don't know why it's spelled that 55 00:03:28.120 --> 00:03:31.960 way or like where it stems from. I don't either. And wow, 56 00:03:32.039 --> 00:03:39.080 it's fourteen. I can cross something off. Oh she wrote this at midnight 57 00:03:39.159 --> 00:03:43.879 this morning? I can cross something and I learned something you new off today's 58 00:03:43.879 --> 00:03:46.719 list. Anyway, would love to know the story how you became a pilot. 59 00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:49.400 Do you have to keep your pilot's license up by flying x amount of 60 00:03:49.400 --> 00:03:51.719 time? Or once you get the license you have it for life? Thanks? 61 00:03:51.719 --> 00:03:53.840 Happy Friday. If you read this on the podcast, please send the 62 00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:58.439 sticker to and So. I'm going to take a picture of that screen and 63 00:03:58.520 --> 00:04:02.960 answer that. Yeah, it's interesting because there was no connection to Air Academy 64 00:04:03.000 --> 00:04:10.199 High school my dad and me flying. I went to a high school located 65 00:04:10.240 --> 00:04:15.560 on the Air Force Academy because when they built that high school back in the 66 00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:21.199 fifties or sixties, there was a big population of military families on the academy, 67 00:04:21.600 --> 00:04:26.439 but it was so remote from Colorado Springs that they needed a high school 68 00:04:26.519 --> 00:04:30.720 on the Air Force Academy. It is the only public high school on a 69 00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:35.000 military installation in the country, and it has nothing to do with the military. 70 00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:38.600 It's just odd that were there. But back then they needed it for 71 00:04:38.639 --> 00:04:43.120 the military family kids. Now a lot of there's not I don't want to 72 00:04:43.120 --> 00:04:45.199 get too deep into the weeds, but no, my dad was not an 73 00:04:45.240 --> 00:04:49.000 aeronautic engineer. He was a pilot, and then later he got out of 74 00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:53.879 the military, and then he was a lab technician at a big lab at 75 00:04:53.879 --> 00:04:56.240 the Air Force Academy. But he was not the one who taught me how 76 00:04:56.240 --> 00:04:58.879 to fly. I always wanted to learn how to fly. I live by 77 00:04:58.920 --> 00:05:00.759 a little airport. When I was a I always looked up when planes went 78 00:05:00.759 --> 00:05:04.720 by. And for Father's Day when I was thirty ish years old, Susan 79 00:05:04.720 --> 00:05:09.439 got me a gift card for an introductory flight lesson and I went down and 80 00:05:09.480 --> 00:05:12.959 took the flight lesson and I was hooked, and I absolutely had to do 81 00:05:13.040 --> 00:05:17.199 it. I did it for me, not for a radio bit. Did 82 00:05:17.199 --> 00:05:23.560 I get ladies back in the heyday? No? Not with that. And 83 00:05:23.920 --> 00:05:28.600 do you have to keep it up by flying x amount of time? Yeah? 84 00:05:29.000 --> 00:05:33.959 Kind of. When I rent, they make sure that you've flown enough 85 00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:38.519 in the last six months to be current and safe. And if you run 86 00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:40.920 out of what they call currency, you have to go up with a pilot 87 00:05:40.959 --> 00:05:44.000 to have them check you out. And then once every two years you get 88 00:05:44.040 --> 00:05:47.120 a biennial flight exam from an instructor to make sure you're still safe and know 89 00:05:47.160 --> 00:05:50.600 what you're doing. But once you get the license, you have it for 90 00:05:50.639 --> 00:05:54.600 life. So once you get the license, you have it for life. 91 00:05:54.639 --> 00:05:58.639 They can never take it away unless you do something stupid, but you have 92 00:05:58.680 --> 00:06:01.279 to kind of get it renew. Knew. Yeah, so that's the way 93 00:06:01.279 --> 00:06:04.439 that works. Did you think that Susan getting you that present was going to 94 00:06:04.480 --> 00:06:09.439 spark such a long term hobby like or were you like kind of like oh 95 00:06:09.439 --> 00:06:11.759 cool and you didn't think much of it at the time, and the nay, 96 00:06:11.839 --> 00:06:14.680 did it? I knew Jenny, I knew that when she got that 97 00:06:14.759 --> 00:06:18.519 for me. I knew that I was going to get my pilot's life. 98 00:06:18.600 --> 00:06:21.319 Yeah, I just knew it so and it was the best thing I've ever 99 00:06:21.319 --> 00:06:28.399 done for myself. That's awesome. I'm taking our night DJ Vaunt flying later 100 00:06:28.439 --> 00:06:31.399 on today and I'm pretty excited about it, so that'll be cool. I 101 00:06:31.439 --> 00:06:35.000 wish I liked flying, because it is one thing that I wish I could 102 00:06:35.040 --> 00:06:39.319 do with you. But I just it's like I'm at a point in my 103 00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:42.839 life where I try not to put myself in positions that are going to invoke 104 00:06:42.920 --> 00:06:46.639 such anxiety that I could feel sick. And that is what going up in 105 00:06:46.680 --> 00:06:49.160 a plane with you would do because I not like it. It's not for 106 00:06:49.240 --> 00:06:53.759 everybody. I mean, I took Fallon up. She did not really like 107 00:06:53.800 --> 00:06:56.720 it. Steve was never I don't think his wife wanted him to go up. 108 00:06:58.079 --> 00:07:01.279 And it's funny because people ask me often to go up flying. And 109 00:07:01.560 --> 00:07:04.319 somebody asked me just a boobasge the other day, said man, I know 110 00:07:04.360 --> 00:07:08.680 you're a pilot. Can you take me up flying sometime? And I think 111 00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:11.040 I might have been I probably came off as kind of a dick, and 112 00:07:11.079 --> 00:07:13.279 I said, man, I really would love to. But if I took 113 00:07:13.360 --> 00:07:16.399 everybody up that asked me to go flying, I would be taking somebody up 114 00:07:16.439 --> 00:07:20.399 every single day, so but I get it, and I do occasionally. 115 00:07:20.920 --> 00:07:25.600 Next one, Dave Jenny Drake wanted to ran about something quick. There is 116 00:07:25.639 --> 00:07:29.360 a guy in my apartment a few doors down who either lives with or is 117 00:07:29.360 --> 00:07:33.560 in a relationship with a woman who has a crippling fear of dogs. I 118 00:07:33.600 --> 00:07:38.279 don't know the full story, but I've heard some details and it sounds like 119 00:07:38.319 --> 00:07:42.040 it's rooted in a traumatic incident from her childhood. Now as an adult, 120 00:07:42.439 --> 00:07:46.680 she will refuse to be in the elevator with a dog to where if I 121 00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:48.079 want to come in and she's already inside, she asked me to wait for 122 00:07:48.120 --> 00:07:53.399 the next one and won't even walk down the hallway if I'm coming the other 123 00:07:53.439 --> 00:07:57.560 way with my dog. She almost always asks me, and I'm assuming another 124 00:07:57.600 --> 00:08:03.160 dog owners to accommodate her and these situations. I want to respect her trauma, 125 00:08:03.279 --> 00:08:05.519 obviously, but the entire building is dog friendly, Lots of the tenants 126 00:08:05.519 --> 00:08:09.759 have dogs, and at least four other dogs live in our hallway. Is 127 00:08:09.800 --> 00:08:15.319 it rude of me to think that she should adapt to us rather than the 128 00:08:15.439 --> 00:08:18.199 other way around, As somebody's been in the building for a while now, 129 00:08:18.560 --> 00:08:20.240 I know none of these dogs would actually hurt her, and I kind of 130 00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:24.560 feel like she should get over this fear of hers if it's something that happens 131 00:08:24.600 --> 00:08:26.199 so long ago. But again, maybe I'm being rude. Would love to 132 00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:30.519 hear your thoughts. PS. Listening to you all has been extra comforting these 133 00:08:30.600 --> 00:08:33.840 days, as I recently got laid off for my job for the first time 134 00:08:33.879 --> 00:08:37.559 and I'm going through all the stressful life stuff that goes with that. Love 135 00:08:37.639 --> 00:08:43.519 y'all. Can't wait to get my sticker. That is from Jared in Minneapolis. 136 00:08:43.679 --> 00:08:46.440 Jenny, what do you think? I mean? I do have some 137 00:08:46.600 --> 00:08:50.120 friends who didn't like dogs growing up, and I always, like, when 138 00:08:50.159 --> 00:08:52.399 I was younger, thought that they were weird and I was like, who 139 00:08:52.480 --> 00:08:54.600 are you? Everyone loves dogs, but like some of them had actual legit 140 00:08:54.639 --> 00:08:58.120 fears, and I gotta be honest, I don't think I would ever tell 141 00:08:58.159 --> 00:09:01.840 them to get over their fear because whatever triggered that is something that, like 142 00:09:03.120 --> 00:09:07.039 potentially, if they're reacting every time that way to a dog, is something 143 00:09:07.039 --> 00:09:09.720 that they haven't gone to therapy for. You can't tell someone to go to 144 00:09:09.759 --> 00:09:11.320 therapy for a fear, and that's probably what that person needs to do to 145 00:09:11.320 --> 00:09:16.480 get over it if they're like reacting so drastically to dogs. So I would 146 00:09:16.519 --> 00:09:20.000 say, just ignore that person and do your best to keep your dog as 147 00:09:20.039 --> 00:09:22.279 close to you as possible when you pass that person in the hall, and 148 00:09:22.559 --> 00:09:26.480 that's all you can do. And don't take it personally that that person's reacting 149 00:09:26.480 --> 00:09:28.639 that way. I got nothing to add to that, really. I mean 150 00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:33.440 that she is being kind of a pain in the ass. Yeah, but 151 00:09:33.399 --> 00:09:37.799 she's not going to change. You can't confront her, so, like Jenny 152 00:09:37.799 --> 00:09:43.600 said, just keep accommodating her. I know it sucks. Next one, 153 00:09:43.399 --> 00:09:46.919 by the way, should we ever do a topic of my friend needs to 154 00:09:48.039 --> 00:09:52.679 get over? What? Would it all be a boyfriend relationship thing? Like 155 00:09:52.840 --> 00:09:56.840 I'm trying to think of which ones which friends need to get over things, 156 00:09:56.240 --> 00:10:00.399 and I would say most of them have to do I mean, we would 157 00:10:00.399 --> 00:10:03.440 have to do with specific things in relationships, not necessarily like get over a 158 00:10:03.440 --> 00:10:07.799 boyfriend. In general. It'd probably be like get over that your boyfriend doesn't 159 00:10:07.879 --> 00:10:09.919 clean the dishes. That's a bad example. That's probably a bad but Yeah, 160 00:10:09.919 --> 00:10:13.200 but it's like, get over it. I'm tired of hearing you bitch 161 00:10:13.200 --> 00:10:18.639 about it. Yeah, I've got a wonderful friend who cannot get over her 162 00:10:18.759 --> 00:10:24.600 marriage ending years ago. And she is she I love her and she's wonderful. 163 00:10:24.600 --> 00:10:28.480 But if I tell her anything along the lines of you need to get 164 00:10:28.519 --> 00:10:33.320 over it. It's been ten years, she gets pissed because they still have 165 00:10:33.480 --> 00:10:37.639 kids, and even though the kids are adults, you know, it's still 166 00:10:37.519 --> 00:10:41.279 And I listen to her and I try to be sympathetic, but it's like, 167 00:10:41.399 --> 00:10:46.720 damn, it has been ten years. Yeah, you need to just 168 00:10:46.759 --> 00:10:52.639 put it behind you and move on. Next one from Tammy. She's over 169 00:10:52.679 --> 00:10:56.039 in Saint Paul Park. She says, Hello, friends, thought i'd send 170 00:10:56.039 --> 00:10:58.440 you some questions it might be fun to answer and discuss when you need to 171 00:10:58.440 --> 00:11:01.879 fill some time. Find a game, but instead a genie, sorry, 172 00:11:01.919 --> 00:11:03.639 you find a genie, but instead of three wishes, you get answers to 173 00:11:03.720 --> 00:11:07.960 three questions of your choice. These could be any kind of questions from an 174 00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:11.759 old mystery that was never solved that's driven you nuts, to questions about the 175 00:11:11.799 --> 00:11:16.399 future, questions about a loved one that passed that you never got to ask, 176 00:11:16.440 --> 00:11:20.200 to situations in your life that you never got an explanation for or a 177 00:11:20.240 --> 00:11:24.080 resolution to. What three questions do you ask holy crap, Wow, those 178 00:11:24.120 --> 00:11:28.120 are really good. This is my first dumb one, and then I'd have 179 00:11:28.120 --> 00:11:31.000 to think harder. I used to have a stamp collection from fifth grade all 180 00:11:31.039 --> 00:11:37.039 the way through high school, and I had thousands of stamps, not valuable, 181 00:11:37.399 --> 00:11:39.000 but they might be valuable now. And one day I went to look 182 00:11:39.000 --> 00:11:43.759 for this stamp album that my grandma bought for me and I collected myself for 183 00:11:43.879 --> 00:11:46.559 many many years. I went to look for it and I could not find 184 00:11:46.600 --> 00:11:48.840 it. I have not seen that stamp album since I was probably twenty five 185 00:11:48.919 --> 00:11:52.960 years old. I would love to know what the hell happened to it. 186 00:11:52.960 --> 00:11:58.919 It was a spiral binder and it was probably it was thick, like like 187 00:11:58.960 --> 00:12:01.879 a college notebook. Okay, no idea where it is. Then, of 188 00:12:01.879 --> 00:12:05.639 course there's other things like, you know, I asked my mom and dad 189 00:12:05.639 --> 00:12:09.759 do they know how much I love them? That type of thing? What 190 00:12:09.799 --> 00:12:11.039 about you, Jenny, what would you ask the genie? You know, 191 00:12:11.120 --> 00:12:16.200 that's really hard because there's like moments in my life I probably want clarity from, 192 00:12:16.200 --> 00:12:20.080 but I moved on from it. So I feel like I honestly don't 193 00:12:20.080 --> 00:12:22.919 have anything like super intense and I can't think of like a lost item either, 194 00:12:24.360 --> 00:12:28.080 Like I think if I had someone close to me pass away early, 195 00:12:28.399 --> 00:12:31.200 I'm sure there's some questions I would ask my grandma because my grandma on my 196 00:12:31.240 --> 00:12:33.519 mom's side, she we were all very close with her, So maybe some 197 00:12:33.639 --> 00:12:39.879 questions would that okay? But you know, like yeah, I just I 198 00:12:39.919 --> 00:12:43.200 don't know. Like if I have had had knock on wood a parent pass 199 00:12:43.240 --> 00:12:46.000 away, I'm sure I would have a ton of questions. But other than 200 00:12:46.039 --> 00:12:48.720 that, I don't know. I guess maybe what the future looks like. 201 00:12:48.759 --> 00:12:52.759 Can you ask like future questions anything? Yeah, anything you want? Maybe 202 00:12:54.000 --> 00:12:56.159 so can I ask the winny and lottery numbers? Or just kidding? I 203 00:12:56.159 --> 00:13:01.759 mean apparently you can ask anything you want that is really good. Tammy, 204 00:13:01.799 --> 00:13:07.200 you send a bunch of these, I'm gonna pick one more because there's a 205 00:13:07.279 --> 00:13:09.480 lot of them in here, and I might save your email for days when 206 00:13:09.480 --> 00:13:13.840 it's a little bit of a slow day. If you became rich, what 207 00:13:13.879 --> 00:13:16.600 do you think would be the craziest, weirdest thing you would do with the 208 00:13:16.639 --> 00:13:20.919 money? Depends on how rich. Yeah, I would probably buy Off the 209 00:13:20.919 --> 00:13:24.519 top of my head, I would buy a private jet so I can fly 210 00:13:24.639 --> 00:13:28.720 anywhere I want to. I would hire a captain and she could fly my 211 00:13:28.799 --> 00:13:33.159 ass around the country anytime I want to. I'd call her up and I'd 212 00:13:33.200 --> 00:13:35.679 go, hello, Carol Ane, Hi, it's Dave. I'd like to 213 00:13:35.679 --> 00:13:39.639 go to the Bahamas right now, pronto, meet me at the airport. 214 00:13:41.240 --> 00:13:45.159 That would be dope. Yeah. I think for me, I have like 215 00:13:45.200 --> 00:13:46.919 a bucket list of things I want to accomplish, one of them being climb 216 00:13:46.960 --> 00:13:52.799 something bigger than just like your Colorado mountains. So if I could hire someone 217 00:13:52.840 --> 00:13:56.320 to help me hike Mount Kilimanjero, so where like you have to camp along 218 00:13:56.320 --> 00:13:58.440 the way, But I want to do it bougie, Okay, I don't 219 00:13:58.480 --> 00:14:01.200 want to deal with like I would hire someone to come with me to carry 220 00:14:01.240 --> 00:14:05.519 like extra things for me to shower with and be clean and stuff. So 221 00:14:05.559 --> 00:14:09.960 I want like a bougie Mount kiliman Generoike, Jenny, your Adventuresome, you 222 00:14:11.120 --> 00:14:15.799 should go hike Mount kilim and Jaro. Susan and I thought about it, 223 00:14:15.840 --> 00:14:20.919 and somewhere deep in my email is a brochure about climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. It 224 00:14:22.000 --> 00:14:24.159 is not a hard climb. It's a long close. It's a long one. 225 00:14:24.159 --> 00:14:26.200 I know, I've looked into it. It's like you got to have 226 00:14:26.320 --> 00:14:30.120 like a lot of time to do it, and right now, like we 227 00:14:30.159 --> 00:14:31.840 don't get to take that much time off of work. So it doesn't really 228 00:14:31.840 --> 00:14:35.600 work right now at this current phase of my life. But someday, and 229 00:14:35.799 --> 00:14:37.960 yeah, if I had all the money in the world, I would make 230 00:14:39.000 --> 00:14:41.279 it a little bit fancier than you're just run of the mill hike up the 231 00:14:41.399 --> 00:14:48.600 mountain. Susan and I briefly discussed looking into climbing Mount Everest about fifteen years 232 00:14:48.639 --> 00:14:52.000 ago. Yeah, because climbing Mount Everest is it is. There's a couple 233 00:14:52.039 --> 00:14:58.240 of things about it. It is not a particularly difficult climb. It's the 234 00:14:58.399 --> 00:15:01.399 highest and in the world, so that's why everybody wants to climb it. 235 00:15:03.799 --> 00:15:07.559 But you have to spend about eighty to one hundred thousand dollars to get trained 236 00:15:07.600 --> 00:15:13.840 and get basically and they call it short roping, where basically it's an ugly, 237 00:15:13.960 --> 00:15:16.840 cheating way to get pulled up Mount Everest. Do you get a shirpa 238 00:15:16.159 --> 00:15:20.759 who's really good, a great climber, and they will tie a rope to 239 00:15:20.799 --> 00:15:24.039 you and basically pull they call it short roping, pull your ass up Mount 240 00:15:24.039 --> 00:15:26.000 Everest. A lot of rich people do it, and we, like I 241 00:15:26.000 --> 00:15:30.399 said, we briefly talked about it and then we said no, just I 242 00:15:30.440 --> 00:15:31.480 mean, I mean it was one of those things should we that would be 243 00:15:31.559 --> 00:15:35.759 kind of nah? Okay. I have a friend who's from Nepal and he's 244 00:15:35.799 --> 00:15:39.120 been doing He's done like two different trips of seeing his family. But then 245 00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:41.279 I'll still doing like the base camp portion of Mount Everest. And I saw 246 00:15:41.320 --> 00:15:43.559 him recently and I said, Oh, are you ever going to like actually 247 00:15:43.600 --> 00:15:46.919 climb the mountain? And he's like, nah, I think I've like done 248 00:15:46.919 --> 00:15:50.480 what I want to do with it. He kind of just wasn't about it. 249 00:15:50.679 --> 00:15:56.279 And also, like I read online that you pass bodies that have passed 250 00:15:56.320 --> 00:16:00.360 away on that trail up and I just I don't think I could do that. 251 00:16:00.360 --> 00:16:03.879 That would just make me so sad. That is so true. There 252 00:16:03.919 --> 00:16:07.200 are pictures if you want to look online, dead bodies on Mount Everest, 253 00:16:07.279 --> 00:16:12.960 because people die on Mount Everest at a pretty regular rate. Because it is 254 00:16:14.559 --> 00:16:15.799 it might not be you know, like I think the hardest mountain in the 255 00:16:15.799 --> 00:16:18.919 world to climb is K two, and there are some other ones that are 256 00:16:18.919 --> 00:16:22.639 hard also, but Everest is not the hardest. But at the same time, 257 00:16:22.679 --> 00:16:26.559 people do die up there. There's a great book, probably one of 258 00:16:26.559 --> 00:16:30.639 my favorite books of all time, called Into Thin Air, and it was 259 00:16:30.679 --> 00:16:37.200 about the nineteen ninety six Mount Everest expedition. What's I mean about eight people 260 00:16:37.279 --> 00:16:41.840 died because a storm came in and they didn't turn around, and they died 261 00:16:41.840 --> 00:16:45.320 there on the mountain. Their bodies are still there, And if you're climbing 262 00:16:45.320 --> 00:16:48.840 Mount Everest, you will find sea bodies over here, fully clothed. Over 263 00:16:48.879 --> 00:16:52.360 here. You see the bootsticking out over here, you see the vest of 264 00:16:51.879 --> 00:16:56.000 the jacket whatever. They can't go get them because it's so difficult to even 265 00:16:56.080 --> 00:16:59.840 bring yourself up and down the mountain. Yeah, there's no way to retrieve 266 00:16:59.879 --> 00:17:07.000 them. Here's a little fun fact. Our CEO Bob Pittman was at the 267 00:17:07.039 --> 00:17:11.720 time married to Sandy Hill Pittman, who was on the nineteen ninety six Mount 268 00:17:11.759 --> 00:17:18.599 Everest expedition. She survived, oh wow. But I think there was some 269 00:17:18.720 --> 00:17:22.119 talk that she was also one of these rich people that you know, like, 270 00:17:22.200 --> 00:17:26.839 basically, I don't want to say anything disparaging, because there are rich 271 00:17:26.880 --> 00:17:30.519 people that basically get paid to get towed up there. I don't know whether 272 00:17:30.559 --> 00:17:33.759 she was one of them or not. I really don't know, but read 273 00:17:33.759 --> 00:17:37.640 the book. It's called Into Thin Air. You won't read it, but 274 00:17:37.640 --> 00:17:41.039 if you ever need something to read, go check it out. I'm going 275 00:17:41.119 --> 00:17:45.559 to flag this when I'm going to put it at one of those little so 276 00:17:45.599 --> 00:17:48.640 it's pinned to the top so I'll find it again when we need some content. 277 00:17:48.880 --> 00:17:52.880 Okay, next one, and here we go, radio friends. Been 278 00:17:52.920 --> 00:17:56.880 listening to Minnesota Goodbye morning show for thirty years. Got to admit it is 279 00:17:56.960 --> 00:18:00.839 the most constant things I've ever had in my life. I love the morning 280 00:18:00.839 --> 00:18:03.519 show, but I cannot get enough of the Minnesota Goodbye. Thank you for 281 00:18:03.559 --> 00:18:07.279 all the hard work and always being there, even if you do not know 282 00:18:07.400 --> 00:18:10.839 it well, thank you. We can't hear that enough. I really appreciate 283 00:18:10.880 --> 00:18:14.759 that. I am not sure it's appropriate for the Minnesota Goodbye, but here 284 00:18:14.799 --> 00:18:19.319 we go. Don't say my name currently listen to your podcast and you keep 285 00:18:19.359 --> 00:18:22.559 asking for emails and I would normally never do this, but something got me 286 00:18:22.640 --> 00:18:26.240 this morning. This is personal and for email's sake, there won't be many 287 00:18:26.319 --> 00:18:30.880 details, but maybe others have advice. I'm thirty five years old, my 288 00:18:32.039 --> 00:18:36.480 significant other is thirty three, his son is fifteen. I've been mothering him 289 00:18:36.519 --> 00:18:38.720 since he was one year old. I have to include I'm very grateful and 290 00:18:38.759 --> 00:18:41.559 thankful to have both of these men in my life. But I want kids. 291 00:18:42.160 --> 00:18:45.240 I've always wanted kids. When this all started, we were a young, 292 00:18:45.279 --> 00:18:48.319 struggling couple. I did not think it was responsible to have another child 293 00:18:48.359 --> 00:18:53.200 given our circumstances. But now we are much more stable. We have good 294 00:18:53.319 --> 00:18:57.359 jobs, great home, supportive family, friends who would all welcome another little 295 00:18:57.359 --> 00:19:02.720 one with open arms. The problem is, I don't know that we want 296 00:19:02.720 --> 00:19:04.799 to start over. My son's in tenth grade. We are almost done, 297 00:19:06.319 --> 00:19:08.240 which I know is not a real thing because you're never done being a parent, 298 00:19:08.279 --> 00:19:15.920 but ug, we're almost done. My significant other really does not want 299 00:19:15.000 --> 00:19:18.799 to start over, and I have those feelings too. But now I'm watching 300 00:19:18.920 --> 00:19:23.920 all my other siblings and friends have babies, and it's so hard to go 301 00:19:25.000 --> 00:19:29.119 back. She is thirty five, the significant others thirty three. I honestly 302 00:19:29.119 --> 00:19:32.519 cannot watch people in movies have children because I cry. If I told my 303 00:19:32.599 --> 00:19:34.480 other how important it is, he would go along with the plan, but 304 00:19:34.559 --> 00:19:37.519 I am so worried he would resent me for it. As I'm writing this, 305 00:19:38.079 --> 00:19:41.920 I am starting to resent him for it. Thoughts. I am questioning 306 00:19:41.960 --> 00:19:47.359 this because I sound sad and lame, but ugg it's been driving me crazy. 307 00:19:47.720 --> 00:19:51.839 I'm honestly considering talk therapy because I'm so sad. I scare myself away 308 00:19:51.839 --> 00:19:55.759 from doing it because I'm very locked into the commitment I made so much to 309 00:19:55.839 --> 00:20:00.640 my family and the only way I see it out, which is not see 310 00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:03.079 it out, which is not an option. I'm done rambling. Thanks for 311 00:20:03.119 --> 00:20:07.079 all you do. Dart Lick, huge fan listening for thirty years. Won't 312 00:20:07.079 --> 00:20:11.799 say their name? Uh, Jenny, what do you think I say, 313 00:20:11.880 --> 00:20:15.119 talk them into habit? It is bothering you, I mean. But she 314 00:20:15.200 --> 00:20:18.079 also said at the beginning that she's also unsure that she wants to start over 315 00:20:18.160 --> 00:20:22.079 again, so she's also a teeny bit on the fence. It sounds like 316 00:20:22.400 --> 00:20:25.319 but it definitely sounds like a conversation you have to have with your partner because 317 00:20:25.359 --> 00:20:30.400 you clearly are very sad about the thought of not having the kid another kid. 318 00:20:30.920 --> 00:20:33.799 I mean, it's hard for me to comment on this because I don't 319 00:20:33.839 --> 00:20:38.079 have kids, and I also am very on the fence about having kids and 320 00:20:38.160 --> 00:20:41.680 have been most of my life. I think that they're also amazing, but 321 00:20:41.720 --> 00:20:45.000 it's tough for me to say, like, oh, if you really want 322 00:20:45.039 --> 00:20:48.720 one, go get one. But you have some reservations as well, So 323 00:20:48.359 --> 00:20:52.960 yeah, talk to your partner about it. And the least like the worst 324 00:20:52.960 --> 00:20:56.720 you could say is no, I don't want to, and then you got 325 00:20:56.720 --> 00:20:59.400 to just like dive into that a little bit more. At that point, 326 00:20:59.519 --> 00:21:02.519 I say, go do it. I mean seriously, because you are thirty 327 00:21:02.559 --> 00:21:07.160 five. We all know that the age thing will become a factor in another 328 00:21:07.200 --> 00:21:08.799 ten years. It might not be an option, and I know somebody will 329 00:21:08.799 --> 00:21:11.079 write in and say no, there's in vitro and you col blah blah blah 330 00:21:11.079 --> 00:21:14.720 blah blah blah. But if you can naturally get pregnant, now do it. 331 00:21:15.319 --> 00:21:18.480 Do it. Do it. You will never regret having a child. 332 00:21:18.079 --> 00:21:21.880 There will be times when you go, I wish I fucking hadn't done this, 333 00:21:22.160 --> 00:21:26.319 but you will love that child. I say do it. I say, 334 00:21:26.359 --> 00:21:30.000 talk to your partner. And it's to the point where you are writing 335 00:21:30.039 --> 00:21:36.400 to the radio station considering therapy because you really want that child. I had 336 00:21:36.519 --> 00:21:41.559 Carson when I was thirty eight thirty eight and half. At no time did 337 00:21:41.599 --> 00:21:48.640 I ever say God, I wish I mean, I love that kid. 338 00:21:48.680 --> 00:21:52.240 And I've loved every moment with him. All of my kids have been easy. 339 00:21:52.319 --> 00:21:55.440 None of them have given me a hard time, none of them. 340 00:21:55.559 --> 00:21:57.839 So I've had it easy. I say, go do it, because if 341 00:21:57.880 --> 00:22:00.839 you don't do it, another year will go by. If you don't do 342 00:22:00.880 --> 00:22:03.440 it, another two years will go by, and then your options are going 343 00:22:03.519 --> 00:22:08.079 to become smaller and smaller. Yeah, next one, Hello, my dart 344 00:22:08.119 --> 00:22:15.559 licking friends, this is Brianna. I wanted to reach out long time listeners 345 00:22:15.559 --> 00:22:18.720 since the Corey Foley days and begin with a thank you. Thank you for 346 00:22:18.759 --> 00:22:21.640 being a constant in my day. I can always rely on you to make 347 00:22:21.640 --> 00:22:23.559 me laugh, smile, feel good. Dave, you especially bring joy and 348 00:22:23.599 --> 00:22:26.880 feelings to my life that I don't even get from my own father. Okay, 349 00:22:26.920 --> 00:22:33.079 I'm going to tear up. I hear that more often than I would 350 00:22:33.160 --> 00:22:37.920 expect to. I am sad and surprised by the number of women who listen 351 00:22:37.960 --> 00:22:42.599 to the show, and some guys too, that don't have a good father. 352 00:22:44.400 --> 00:22:48.200 And it just breaks my heart because fathers should love their kids so much 353 00:22:48.440 --> 00:22:56.559 that it shouldn't even be an issue. But I am honored that I give 354 00:22:56.599 --> 00:23:00.880 you a little bit of things that you don't get from your father. You 355 00:23:00.920 --> 00:23:03.960 are, in a way like a father figure to me, always there giving 356 00:23:03.960 --> 00:23:07.319 steadfast advice and providing unwavering support in difficult times. Okay, I'm gonna go 357 00:23:07.359 --> 00:23:11.319 cry. I'm out and see you later. David's tearing up. Hold on, 358 00:23:11.440 --> 00:23:15.519 let me take you. That being said, I had the amazing pleasure 359 00:23:15.559 --> 00:23:18.960 of bringing my seven year old to the Queen Adam Lambert concert on Saturday just 360 00:23:18.039 --> 00:23:22.319 last weekend. Y got to watch my son experience the most fun. At 361 00:23:22.319 --> 00:23:25.000 one point, he turned and looked at me and said, Mom, this 362 00:23:25.200 --> 00:23:30.279 is the best day of my life. Getting to watch him with the expression 363 00:23:30.279 --> 00:23:33.720 of pure joy on his face was one of the best experiences of my life. 364 00:23:33.160 --> 00:23:37.160 I included a ten second clip of him having the time of his life. 365 00:23:37.160 --> 00:23:38.720 I will watch that. So my question is, as a parent, 366 00:23:38.759 --> 00:23:41.880 what's your favorite memory with your kids and your kids? You're with your kids 367 00:23:42.119 --> 00:23:45.160 and kids, kid or kids and Jenny, since you don't have kids, 368 00:23:45.200 --> 00:23:51.960 what's your favorite fun memory with your parents? Jenny Gosh, I have to 369 00:23:52.039 --> 00:23:56.200 think about that. With my mom, it was growing up. I was 370 00:23:56.240 --> 00:24:00.160 always the one who would sit at night and play games with her. We 371 00:24:00.200 --> 00:24:04.640 would play Mancola. That's how you pronounce it? I forget and she never 372 00:24:04.720 --> 00:24:07.359 let me win. I was actually pretty good and I would beat her sometimes. 373 00:24:07.359 --> 00:24:11.559 It was like a fifty to fifty because I was super young, and 374 00:24:11.599 --> 00:24:12.880 we would just play a lot of games, and that was like my mom 375 00:24:12.880 --> 00:24:17.759 and I was time, Like we just loved doing that together. And it 376 00:24:17.799 --> 00:24:21.640 probably only lasted a year or two, but I was probably like thirteen, 377 00:24:22.000 --> 00:24:25.599 Like I was approaching teenage years, so it was like I was approaching the 378 00:24:25.599 --> 00:24:30.559 braddy age, you know with my dad. Oh gosh, I would say, 379 00:24:33.200 --> 00:24:36.319 probably my sisters and I. When we got older, we started doing 380 00:24:36.319 --> 00:24:41.519 more experiences with my parents, and my dad had such a great time when 381 00:24:41.559 --> 00:24:47.359 we took him to go see Anastasia, a Broadway play in which sounds really 382 00:24:47.359 --> 00:24:51.200 weird cool. We grew up watching that movie with him, and so we 383 00:24:51.240 --> 00:24:55.160 got tickets for Christmas one year with him, and we went to dinner ahead 384 00:24:55.200 --> 00:24:57.799 of times and we had drinks and we went to the play and I just 385 00:24:57.920 --> 00:25:02.440 got Now, I'm gonna tear thinking about this. It's hard because like we 386 00:25:02.480 --> 00:25:07.119 don't spend as much time with my dad as my mom, and he just 387 00:25:07.160 --> 00:25:11.079 like really takes in those moments, like now, at this point in life, 388 00:25:11.119 --> 00:25:14.799 and he'll always say how happy it makes him when we like go out 389 00:25:14.839 --> 00:25:18.279 of our way and do things like that with him. You know, it 390 00:25:18.359 --> 00:25:22.200 is those little precious moments that do get us kind of emotional. So I 391 00:25:22.359 --> 00:25:26.720 totally get it. Mine, You know, you gave me a minute to 392 00:25:26.720 --> 00:25:30.279 think about mine, and mine were probably the trips, camping trips with the 393 00:25:30.359 --> 00:25:33.000 kids. We used to have one of those pop up trailers, and we 394 00:25:33.039 --> 00:25:37.319 would take Alison and Beth camping in the Black Hills. And my kids grew 395 00:25:37.400 --> 00:25:42.160 up so far apart in ages that we never really were all together. But 396 00:25:42.319 --> 00:25:47.319 I would say camp some of our camping trips, and Beth and Carson and 397 00:25:48.759 --> 00:25:52.559 Chase and I and Alison all went camping in the pop up at one time 398 00:25:52.640 --> 00:25:57.000 or another. And those are some of my favorite memories. Let me find 399 00:25:57.000 --> 00:26:00.240 that email again. She goes on to say, totally separate topic, why 400 00:26:00.279 --> 00:26:03.079 can't I listen to Too Lane for Radio? I looked it up on different 401 00:26:03.119 --> 00:26:07.079 podcasting platforms and either I can't find it or I can find it but won't 402 00:26:07.079 --> 00:26:11.559 play. What's up with that? Is it just like expired? It is? 403 00:26:11.480 --> 00:26:15.200 Honestly, you're the first person who's brought it up. We changed podcasting 404 00:26:15.279 --> 00:26:18.839 systems a while ago, and the system that we used to use they kind 405 00:26:18.839 --> 00:26:22.400 of got rid of all. Like there's a lot of the channels that were 406 00:26:22.400 --> 00:26:26.039 on it, and too Lamee was one of them. We hadn't done it 407 00:26:26.039 --> 00:26:27.440 for a couple of years at that point when we switched over, so it 408 00:26:27.559 --> 00:26:33.119 wasn't carried over. I'm sure I could probably bug the iHeart people about it, 409 00:26:33.160 --> 00:26:36.680 but I don't know anymore, and I don't know that they would take 410 00:26:36.720 --> 00:26:40.279 their time to do it because Tina no longer works here at this point, 411 00:26:40.440 --> 00:26:45.079 so I apologize for that. I used to do a podcast too called take 412 00:26:45.079 --> 00:26:47.200 a Shower, show up on time and don't Steal Anything, and I haven't 413 00:26:47.240 --> 00:26:48.920 done it in over a year, and I don't know if that's available anymore 414 00:26:48.960 --> 00:26:52.000 either, So I think it's just we're on a different platform. It's kind 415 00:26:52.000 --> 00:26:56.440 of like that store is closed up, so you might be able to look 416 00:26:56.440 --> 00:26:59.799 in through the window, but it won't it's not open up. Last email 417 00:27:00.160 --> 00:27:02.319 and we got some really good ones today, so think you, thank you, 418 00:27:02.400 --> 00:27:04.519 Thank you. Dave. Can you please clarify for me and the rest 419 00:27:04.559 --> 00:27:07.880 of the staff writers so we won't have to call HR that you didn't whip 420 00:27:07.920 --> 00:27:11.079 out your junk and show Jenny a cake size sprinkle on your junk. We 421 00:27:11.079 --> 00:27:17.839 were talking about how there are little things, and I forget how they came 422 00:27:17.920 --> 00:27:22.000 up. Oh, somebody said they the boyfriend had some stuff around his junk 423 00:27:22.039 --> 00:27:25.519 area. Yeah, and so there's a name for him. They're little, 424 00:27:25.559 --> 00:27:30.039 tiny red blood blisters that are harmless. And I've got a couple. And 425 00:27:30.079 --> 00:27:33.559 I said they're about the size of a cake sprinkle or a sesame seed. 426 00:27:33.559 --> 00:27:36.720 And I showed Jenny I've got one on my chest, so I pulled my 427 00:27:36.759 --> 00:27:38.359 shirt down a little bit. No, I did not. I know I 428 00:27:38.400 --> 00:27:41.480 have a horrible mind. But you didn't clarify what body part it was. 429 00:27:41.519 --> 00:27:45.480 You're right, and we were already talking about that guy's junk. You might 430 00:27:45.519 --> 00:27:48.119 just want to clarify it was your arm or something. It was my chest. 431 00:27:48.160 --> 00:27:52.400 It just sounded funny. Cauz, You're like, I have them too. 432 00:27:52.599 --> 00:27:56.480 You want to see That is from Todd. Thank you, Todd appreciate 433 00:27:56.519 --> 00:28:00.319 that. And that wraps it up for today's Minnesota good Bye.
