All right, it's the Minnesota goodbye. And the reason I'm starting with some
anger in my voice is because I kind of just pulled the Dave Ryan.
I didn't have Drake's microphone on, so there's that speak for me, boy
working sure is okay. We only got about three and a half minutes in
before I realized it, so thank goodness. But now I got to go
back to this email I just deleted that we already read, so hold,
please, hold please? Where is she? Did I even there? It
goes okay, it's a wisdom tooth email, and I asked Rake if he's
okay listening to it, and he said he is, all right, good
morning, Dave Ryan Crew. I just listened to the part on the podcast
the other day when Drake was talking about needing his wisdom teeth out. I
kept hearing everyone say, don't worry, you won't remember it. While I
was fully conscious during my procedure, I was numbed. But they didn't even
mention anything on anything to me about laughing gas. I knew what they were
doing. I felt a lot of pressure, but that was it. I'm
guessing they didn't even think about it because I have my tongue split in two.
So maybe they thought I could just handle it anyway. It's not that
bad break, and it's totally worth it. You're gonna be fine, says
Kristen. So God. Yeah. So she wasn't. She wasn't down under
anything like that. No, she was numbed, but she was aware of
what was going on, and she said she could feel some pressure. I
kind of I wouldn't be able to do that. I would have to be
knocked out. If I've got people like digging in my mouth, digging in
my gums and I can open my eyes and see them doing that, I
would probably freak out. Yeah. I don't think I'd be able to do
that at all. I think most people get put under. I was.
I was, even though I claimed I wasn't, Like, I feel like
I was probably having like lucid dreams about it or something, because when I
was fully like come to, I was like, oh, I was awake
the whole time. They're like, no, you weren't. Your eyes were
shut, you were like non communicative, like you were passed out. I'm
like, okay, whatever, what's it like? Get like going under?
Do you just like just black out? They count down and it's like,
all right, countdown from ten and then you buy seven, you're knocked out.
You. I mean, when I got my wrist surgery done, I
was like, man, I do not feel like I'm about to be knocked
out at all. And I was like feeling. I was asking them what
I was supposed to be feeling, because they it was like a whole nerve
block thing that they had to do for my rest surgery, and I'm just
like, They're like, they did a couple different things. They're like,
well, you should be feeling this and this and that, and I'm like,
I don't feel any of that. And I was like, what should
I be feeling. They're like, well, you should be feeling kind of
drunk almost right now, and I go no. I was like, is
this my years of alcohol intake that it's making my tolerance to high? And
so we so they had done all that in one room and then they're rolling
me on a little cart okay, not a cart, but a bed to
the surgery room and I'm still like, well, I wasn't supposed to be
passed so quite yet, but I was supposed to be feeling a little like
loosey goosey and I get in there, and then I was like, I
don't feel what you guys are telling me. I'm supposed to be feeling,
just a heads up, and they're like, okay, okay, and so
then I think they had to give me more anesthesia. And then I was,
no, I'm gonna refrain from saying this because I don't want to scare
anyone. It wasn't scary, but I don't want to say anything that would
like get in people's heads. But I had more anesthesia than the next thing
I know, I was waking up and the surgery was done. Like I
was like just I don't remember counting down. I just remember them pumping some
more in a sson to me and that was done of it. So just
like it was like you close your eyes and you just woke up literally,
and I mean the surgery was like a couple hours, well probably like an
hour and a half or two hour surgery. So that's what I wanted to
be. I wanted to be just like like literally I blink and then I
wake up and I'm out, yeah, that's what it'll be. Trust me,
You're gonna be fine. Kristen was awake for hers and she was perfectly
fine. So all right, let's get into some more emails here. This
one says, good morning, Jenny in the morning zoo. Not sure if
the person who was looking for an airbnb in the Minneapolis area found one,
but I just want to say I do have an airbnb right outside the city
and Fridley. It's called the Mpls Marvel on Airbnb. Is so search Mpls
Marvel on Airbnb or kind of look at the friendly area and you should be
able to find it. And they said that it's located in a quiet neighborhood
close to six ninety four and ninety four can get you downtown super quick on
ubers. You could take University Avenue all the way into the city. And
also the house is walking distance to the light rail, which also gets you
downtown for very cheap. And they say they're five star rated, four bed,
two bath, superhosts, so if you're if they're not booked, definitely
check them out. This comes from Colt. I can't really share the link
because it's kind of a random link, so just look on Airbnb for that
one. I had. So my friends that came here on New Year's came
here and they stayed in a five bedroom Airbnb. I think it was in
I don't know, somewhere in North Minneapolis somewhere, but it was a five
bedroom. Okay. I didn't have a lot of pictures, which they said
was kind of a red flag, but like from the pictures that they did
have, it just looked good. Anyways, Okay, they got there.
It was one master bedroom mm hmmm, in four kid bedroom, so meaning
they had I mean red legs about the pictures. First off, yes,
yeah, but okay, keep going. So but it said five bedrooms,
so they were assuming five. I mean they can like probably get money back
for that. Then I don't know what they did, but yeah, they
got there. There was like a really small bunk bed. Yeah, that
would been like a five year old. All the other bedrooms had like really
really small beds where their legs were hanging over the edge. Right. It
was so bad. Yeah, yeah they were. They were little Airbnb horror
story. Oh my god, could you imagine? I No, I can't.
But I also am such an extreme planner that if I wouldn't have seen
the pictures, I would have been emailing and been like, hey, I
don't see pictures about these other rooms, Like can I do you have other
pictures you can share, because that's who I am. Like when I plan
group trips, I planted according to how many couples, how many singles are
in the group, and I plan according to how many beds are because I'm
at an age like your age, I could have slept on a floor on
a cement basement. Okay, maybe not at your age, but when I
was twenty, that's what I was doing. Like I will never forget being
at a party near my hometown and the only option was like somebody's basement.
After we like had had our DD, get us back to someone's home,
and I slept on a cement floor. So I used to not care,
but at this age, I'm like, I want everyone to be comfortable.
We all are gonna have back problems if we don't have a comfy bed to
sleep in. You know what I'm saying, Like, I'm not trying to
sleep on a couch all week. So I planned group trips according to,
like what would be comfortable for sharing beds if people have to share beds,
if there's like single beds stuff, And most of the group trips are like
ski trips I plan. So that's why like I had the experience with that
kind of stuff. But man, I hope your friends like complain because they
can't. That's like illegal to put on Airbnb that you're a five bedroom.
If it was one bedroom and a bunch of bunk beds, that's not okay.
I'm sure they did something. Yeah, it's super illegal in real estate
terms also to do that. Just heads up, if you show if you
show up at a house that's listed on whatever website you're looking Zilow, a
Diner, Realty, whatever, and it says it's like three bedrooms, two
bath or something, and you come in and one bedroom is like in the
basement and doesn't have an egress window. But they're like, oh, it's
a three bedroom. That's technically not a three bedroom there, So you can,
like, I don't know if it's illegal, but you can follow a
complaint against the real estate agent who like wasn't honest with you. Lots of
random crap like that I know from obviously dating a realtor. Cool. Okay,
let's see what do we got next. Hi, David, Jenny and
Drake. Please don't say my name. First off, you guys are awesome.
The Minnesota Goodbye is my favorite podcast. I never miss the day and
I'm always listening to the show podcast from the morning. We appreciate you for
doing that. Thank you so much for listening. Because I have a question
specifically for Jenny. I've recently wanted to take a trip, either road trip
or fly not sure yet, but I wanted to know if you had any
tips or how you go about planning your trips. How do you make your
itinerary, figure out your lodging, transportation, et cetera. I'm so jealous
of your recent trip to Tahiti, and I think it's time start taking trips
like that as well. Okay, so a lot of my planning it's aggressive.
I will say I have an aggressive, aggressive way of planning each trip.
But usually obviously I start off with booking flights, monitoring flights for a
while, hoping that they'll get cheaper. Most of the time, when you
first start looking, that's the cheapest they'll ever be. So I would with
travel nowadays, I would say book your flights as fast as you can because
it's probably the cheapest that it'll ever be. But outside of that, what
I'm my biggest tips is if you are searching for an Airbnb, a vrbo
or anything, and it says that it's hosted by Skyrun. By Skyrun,
So that is a business name that is not a person that is not Bob
down the street who owns a local Airbnb. Okay, that's a business name.
And what you can do is you can try to search that name into
just Google search skyrun. It'll probably pop up as vacation rentals. Book through
the vacation rent site. It will be cheaper than Airbnb, not that much.
But the two places I just booked for a ski trip Andrew and I
are doing at the end of March, I booked them both through the vacation
rental site, but I found them on Airbnb first, and I think I
sold that I saved us a total of probably like three hundred to four hundred
dollars by booking through those sites. So that's a fun little tip for you.
Also, one of the main things that I think is important about a
trip, and you did ask about road trips, so this is a little
bit different, but I think like researching where is the best place to stay
is very important because that could save you so much money between ubers getting places
or renting a car, if you book in the perfect spot, you're going
to save a lot of money. And I know you didn't really necessarily ask
about saving money tips, but these are just things that helped me. So,
Like in Tahiti, one of the islands we stayed on was right in
front of the main excursion, the sting ray and Shark excursion, and they
had kayaks. So instead of us having to book an excursion pay an extra
one hundred and fifty dollars a person, we literally took the kayaks out and
did our own little excursion ourselves. Now that might scare some people to do
a sting ray and shark excursion on their own without a guide with them.
It was really sketchy to us at first, and once we got in the
road or we were like whatever, stingrays are like puppies, They're not really
that scary. So there's a lot that goes into it. But I will
say, if you want to follow me on Instagram at Johnny KATWB, I'll
be like announcing something in the next month or two that might help you with
some of this stuff. So I'm not gonna get ahead of myself, but
if you want to follow me Johnny katw Bey on Instagram. Yeah, you
can look out for that if you want to ask any other more specific questions.
I don't want to take up, you know, twenty minutes on the
podcast talking about trip planning because I could if not like longer, keeping us
on the edge of our see. Yeah, I want to get to do
baby, yeah sol is, but nothing showing upsolutely. Yeah, I know.
I asked Drake yesterday. So we check in every night on something called
Chatter and just talk about like what we did for the day whatever. It's
a thirty or something, And I see Drake, He's like, yeah,
not much for me today. I just streamed. He's like, I haven't
even started packing for my trip tomorrow. Drake leaves immediately after the show,
Okay, Like there's no breathing room, Like he needs to be his ask
needs to be sprinting out of here immediately to catch his plane. So I'm
like, Drake, God, even I'm still not even like one hundred percent
finished. Oh my god. I mean you're going to a wedding and you're
going to Florida. Yeah, and you're not like me, who wants like
the perfect outfit for everything. At least I assume I don't know. Maybe
you are well, but really I take a long time to pack because I
do want to make sure I have like the exact outfits I want for everywhere
I'm going, and then a little bit of extra if I have the extra
packing space. So I take quite the quite the time to pack. I
never check a bag, so anything I can fit inside, like a carry
on, that's what I bringk What do you flying today? I'm doing Spirit
today to Atlanta, but I'm flying back. Look, I'm just like,
we love Spirit Honestly, I usually honestly, I really don't like doing it.
I usually do sun Country, but Sun Country doesn't go to Atlanta.
Weird. That's super weird. I know it's interesting because obviously MP or MSP
is a pretty big hub, but like it is, it's frustrating. I
mean, I'm going to Savannah a couple of weeks for a bachelor party and
I'm super bummed because it's not a direct flight, and that is just like,
it's so frustrating to fly within the country and not have a direct flight.
I have to go to Detroit today, soroit to Oh it's connecting.
I know, it's so annoying. Well, you'll be fine. I mean,
are you doing a carry on? Yeah, bringing, but you have
to pay for that on Spirit. I know, yeah, it was only
whatever what I used to fly, Like, I fly a lot random airlines.
Whatever is cheapest usually, but I do have a Delta American Express card
now, so I do try to fly Delta, And honestly, that's like
another travel tip is like sometimes it's still cheaper to fly airlines like Delta versus
Spirit because you pay the baggage fee, you pay the seat fees. And
also there are certain airlines and I don't know which ones they are, but
you can buy pass having to pick a seat and pay the extra seven dollars.
And I didn't know that because I think it's Sun Country where like my
friends were like, oh, I didn't pay that extra money and I was
like, there's not an option. They're like, yeah, there is.
Like I learned that a couple of years ago, that you can bypass picking
a seat and paying the money. They just then you know you're probably getting
the middle seat because that's where you're getting put. But if you want to
save the fifteen bucks, then whatever, Spirit is a scam, yeah,
because I'm flying Delta back because I'm flying back from Tampa, right, so
then you get a carry on for free. The flight in general though,
was like the way cheaper than Spirit to that because Spirit you have to pay
for the seat and you get to pay for the carry on. And for
some reason the flight was more expensive, probably because it's a connecting flight.
And I was like, dude, it's like one hundred dollars cheaper to fly
on Delta coming back. Yeah, flying to Spirit to Atlanta. I'm like,
how does it make it make sense? I mean, it's also because
MSP is a huge Delta hub, so there's a lot more options with Delta.
A lot of times from certain destinations, Delta flight from MSP to Atlanta
was like four hundred dollars. I'm like, what are you talking about?
And that was one way, one way. Yeah, I'm like what Yeah,
I mean, you know, Drake, you gotta do what you gotta
do sometimes because I have been there, and trust me, I think the
last time I flew Spirit, my flight was oh, I don't want to
bring the bad juju into the room. But it was delayed for like two
and a half hours. It's not going to be there's no weather, like,
I don't I don't know why it was delayed back then because er out
there. Yeah, it was like October, so it's not like it was
snowing. Well, it could have been snowing in October, but it wasn't.
But I mean, I literally used to fly Spirit all the time.
Like I said, it's just helpful now because I do get points with my
Delta card, and a lot of times when you do the math and the
end, you might be paying a little bit extra for Delta versus some of
the other airlines. But I don't know. I value like I value the
fact that I can get points from it, and then it makes other future
flights cheaper. So that's another travel tip. I never used to be a
credit card person because I just didn't like the thought of having credit cards,
and then I realized how much I was missing out on things like travel points.
So definitely consider some travel credit cards. I think Andrew has I think
Chase Sapphire, I want to say, and that works good. He doesn't
have a really fancy one. So if that's a fancy one, that's not
it. But it's maybe it's not Sapphire. Maybe it's like I don't know,
if Freedom Unlimited, Yeah, something like that. But all right,
well that's the podcast for today. Feel free to send some emails I have
someone. Some of these are saved because it's specifically asked for some advice from
day. Ever want to say things to Dave, So if we haven't gotten
to yours in the last couple of days, Dave should try to get to
them on Monday or Tuesday next week. So thank you so much for listening,
