All right, Jenny, here we go with a Minnesota goodbye. This one
says, I'm going to tag on the last email you read on the Minnesota
goodbye that was on Tuesday about commercials just showing up randomly, and it drives
me nuts as well. I'm listening to the six am hour of the show
today. It's six twenty seven into the first podcast and a thug in commercial
shows up mid story, for example. It's annoying, but I just hit
the skip thirty seconds until it goes away because I won't remember what the story
is after two minutes. I know this is out of your hands, but
I wanted to give the example so you don't need to search for it.
I'm on the iHeart app because there's different ways you can listen. I think
you can listen to the Apple podcast app too. I don't know there's a
way to stop them. When it's the end of the podcast it goes to
commercial anyway, She says. I appreciate the podcast that are there, and
I will continue to skip when I can. I want to let you know,
Liz, thank you. I know you're a regular listener and participant in
the podcast. I forwarded your note to the powers that be, and sometimes
that stuff is out of our hands. But we've kind of gone around in
circles about this where it should be an easy experience when you listen to the
podcast, but for some reason, somebody down the food chain somewhere does not
quite get it. And I'm going to guess they're probably an it person that
doesn't think of listeners as anything but numbers, and I think of listeners as
important people. We wouldn't have a show without listeners, So we're still working
on it. We'll never ever stop trying to improve that one. Next one
listening to the Minnesota Goodbye yesterday, and somebody grew up in Richfield, and
they said, well, what is Richfield? Like? What do I need
to know about rich Field? What's the cliche? I grew up there and
my parents grew up there, so I know a lot about the city.
Here's some info on the city. It is a tiny, little, diverse
town plunk down in the middle of the cities. It takes ten minutes to
drive from one end down the middle of town sixty sixth Street, and a
lot of people don't ever leave Richfield hates see dyeing, okay, but no
clue IFI Dina even pays attention to rich Field l rich Field math is a
very common thing we joke about when we can't add or do simple math.
As far as we're to eat in rich Field, what to do? Sorry,
not much luck there? Maybe pizza luche or tacaria tacaria? Is it
taqu quera? I don't know. Luckily, rich Fields in a great location
to get other places because there really isn't much to do. Best part about
rich Field is it's close to other places. Best to luck there. Hope
this helps love the show. Keep it up from Sarah, Sarah, thank
you for your dissertation on rich Field. I would have had no idea.
Let's see that one's more for the show. This one says Minnesota Goodbye,
and this person lives in Birmingham, Alabama. They said, regarding the person
complaining about ad placement on the main show in the Minnesota Goodbye, I agree
with you one hundred percent. It's hard to imagine that an actual person is
doing this job. Full volume ads in the middle of a conversation or common
My favorite is when there's thirty seconds left in the Minnesota Goodbye and Dave is
wrapping up an interesting story. And then a casino ad is inserted, and
that's how the show ends. Though it's so bad it's laughable. I know
ads or how radio and podcasts make money, but it would be great if
a little more thought went into the process. Thanks for listening to me complain
Clark in Birmingham, Alabama with a seven year stint in Minnesota. No,
Clark, thank you. Yeah, I don't. I don't get it.
I don't know. The only thing that I know when I was told when
we switched many years ago to different podcasting platforms, is that we had to
start putting in these holders for ads, so we would put them in obviously
in spaces that wouldn't like break up a conversation. But the problem is is
when a podcast is twenty one minutes long, I can't it happens every twenty
minutes is usually? Is that what it is? Okay? So our Minnesota,
goodbye. Usually we kape it around fifteen, but sometimes we go to
like twenty five. Okay, So when it hits like twenty minutes and there's
a minute left, that by default just gets an AD placed in there.
That's what I was told about it, and there's nothing I can really do
about cutting up the audio with the system that we use, it's just a
matter of like we try to do it with other with our morning show podcasts
because we have different segments and there's never a segment that typically goes twenty minutes
long. That actually makes sense because you just wonder. I know that it's
a computer that's inserting the ads. Yep, there's not some guy named Philip
who's in Lexington, Kentucky with iHeart that is inserting the ads, because nobody
would be that bad. But it's still it's not a perfect system. But
that does clear it up. So maybe we work on not having the podcast
go over twenty minutes, right, Okay, next one, Hello Dave and
the most beautiful Jenny. First of all, I celebrate my golden thirtieth birthday
this year. Been listening to KTWB since I was about five years old.
I want to let you know how much I appreciate you all your show,
your personalities, and the way you make us listeners feel like you are all
our best friends. I loved that. I had quite the interesting situation happened
last week. An old friend reached out after years of not seeing her talking
to one another. Life just got busy, we both got into long term
relationships, had kids, started building our adult lives, and this friend simply
reached out to reconnect again. But one of the biggest things she told me
was that her and her boyfriend of five years broke up. Now, I
always felt like she had feelings for me, So we met up yesterday and
after about almost six years side note, we were good friends. We never
physically made a move on each other. However, when we met up yesterday,
she got out of her car, jumped into my arms, wrapped her
legs around me, and wouldn't let go. From for not kidding you a
solid minute that felt more like ten. Wow, that's weird. Yeah.
The whole conversation consisted of her being proud of me and where I am in
life, and how she couldn't believe how good I looked. She did things
like she kept stroking my face, kissing my cheek, making me feel like
I was Magic Mike meeting a fan. So I guess what I'm trying to
ask is do I pursue the friendship again or is she trying to find a
quick rebound to get over her boyfriend who is also the father of her two
kids. I enjoy your company very much. I love her as a person
personally. I'm not ready for any type of relationship at all right now,
but I don't know how to approach the situation. Help me, please,
Besties, you didn't say whether you're still married, because you did say we
both got into long term relationships, had kids, and started building our adult
lives. You didn't say you got a divorce. You didn't say that you're
single, So that's the first thing. If you are married, then no,
you need to draw the line in the sand right now. But also
he didn't. I don't think he ever said at any point that he had
feelings for her, right He said that it was always just like a platonic
friendship. So I don't know to be it doesn't sound like it's the best
thing to pursue. But if you have feelings for her and you both are
older now, you're at different phases in life, so maybe you click a
little bit better. But it does sound a little reboundy. It does sound
like Okay. One of the things that I thought of is she's looking for
a father for her kids. If he's got a good job and making good
money and he's doing well in life. Maybe she really wants that in her
life. I would say what Jenny said. I mean, number one,
if you don't have feelings for, then you've got nothing to worry about.
If you've got feelings for, then then do your thing. But it definitely
sounds like she is trying way too hard to make something happen. Yeah,
I mean, come on, you've never even been physical before, and now
she's say for her to jump and hold on to him for like a minute.
That's that's a pretty intense interaction, like right off the bat. Oh
yeah, I would have approach with caution. But if you're not interested,
you're not interested, all right. Next one, I'm on the treadmill at
the gym looking out into the parking lot. I noticed a mom putting her
baby in the car, but then just hanging out, not leaving. A
man shows up and the two get very cuddly and flirty, grabbing butts hugs.
They were playing with the baby together as well. He was in scrubs
and clearly on some sort of work break, and boy, this person's really
nosy. They noticed he had a ring on, she did not. They
hung out for a good fifteen minutes and then went their separate ways. As
I'm on the tread mill, I'm imagining all the different scenarios about this couple.
Is this his side piece? Are they married and just obnoxiously in love
with each other? Is this his baby? Secretly? Oh my, the
potential scandals anyway, thought i'd share. I'm gonna go ahead and play along
with your fantasy scenario here, and I put it. I'm gonna make it
scandalous and ugly. Yeah, they fucking they definitely fucking they are meeting.
That is probably very possibly his baby, but she's she's with somebody. He's
married. I mean, he's got a ring on. Maybe they had a
baby together and she's not married to him, but they he sees the baby
once in a while and his wife doesn't know about it, but he can
afford it because he is in the medical field and he's probably a surgeon.
But yeah, they fucking What do you think, Jenny, I think they're
definitely hooking up. If you notice the ring situation. I feel weird that
the baby was in the car and it wouldn't be his baby, So it
does feel like that probably is his baby. He's very much married, with
a whole nother family and she got pregnant with him, and now they're seeing
each other on his lunch break and that's the relationship they got. They fucking
yeah, can you call this episode day fucking? I would love to know.
I don't think you should. I really, I don't know. I
don't never know. Sometimes Rich would not Rich would. Rich got mad at
me about three or four months ago because I had taken a picture of selfie
or somebody took one and I looked good for once in the picture and Fallon
said you look fuckable? And I said, should I caption my Twitter My
Twitter profile should read fuckable? And Fallon said, idaia, and I said
I'm going to do it. So I for about five minutes, I captioned
my Twitter picture profile pick fuckable. And Rich wrote to me, that's our
boss, and he said, I do not like your caption on your Twitter
pick and so I said, you're right. It was not something that like
a dad of four who's married should put up. I took it down.
Sometimes I make bad decisions. I mean it's hard, though, because we
all have this grimy sense of humor sometimes so like to us, we just
find it hilarious and then we think, well, not everyone understands our sense
of humor, and not everyone has the same of humor. They're not going
to like I don't know, people will read into it and yeah, well,
I'm going to give you an example. Angie Taylor, who used to
work on our show. She shares the same grimy sense of humor. She
texted me this morning at five forty five in the morning. She said,
Hey, shit Pants, how does your lyric game work? I was thinking
about doing one on my show, but I don't know how I want to
do it. Blah blah blah, and she said, I said, shit
pants, llol. That made me smile. And then I called her fart
box. She said, of a great show. I said, you two
fart box and she said llol. Called Drake a fartbox on the air.
And then she was talking about how a celebrity that we both know. She
said, he's an arrogant asshole, interviewed him a couple of times, rude
as hell. He also looks like Gonzo the chicken fucker from the Muppets.
So this is Angie Taylor sense of humor. This is one of the reasons
I love her because she's got a grimy sense of humor. And called me
shit pants and all this celebrity Gonzo the chicken fucker. Yeah, see,
that's what that's that's what we're comfortable with, you know. But we all
know people that you really can't go to that level because if you say something
really I mean, some of the humor that we've shared in the studio is
not dark but really bad, Like, oh my god, can't believe you
said that. I'm going to check the time here to make sure we're not
going over twenty minutes, and we are about twelve, so I got time
for one more and he would go, what am I a Karen? A
few weeks ago, we had some new neighbors that moved in. They live
about two houses away from us. They always parked their vehicles facing the opposite
direction when they park on the street. I was going to report it,
but the wife said, stop being a Karen. I haven't seen them do
it for about a week now. Maybe somebody reported it. That's really weird
because when you you park your car on the right side of the street with
your passenger door on the curb side, Yep, you would not park your
car on either side of the street with your driver door facing the curb side,
you wouldn't. I mean unless it was temporary or picking somebody up.
People do that in Uptown a lot, do they. Yeah, it's a
it's also like a different city thing you can't I don't know if it's like
Seattle or where I've seen an app but people will park however they feel like
on a street, like a neighborhood street. I wouldn't think that you're a
Karen, but I would find it really annoying. I'm glad you didn't have
to report it. Yeah, see with us. I don't know if I
would report it to the association or do you call the city? Who do
you report that too? I guess I don't know. I don't know anyway.
Glad that it worked out and my cough is better. By the way,
it sounds better. It sounds like a little baby now. But I'm
glad you didn't have to report it because that would have sucked. Okay,
thank you for the variety of questions for the Minnesota Goodbye. There are a
couple we didn't get to, and I got one from Azy and you wrote
a longer email and I will try to get to that one tomorrow. I
know they're a big fan because they signed their email Dartlick, so we appreciate
that one. We're gonna get to those tomorrow on the Minnesota Goodbye. But
in the meantime, if you have something you want to talk about or something
you want to comment on, or go, yeah, I wish you guys
would bring this up, or I want to talk about this, or I
don't want you guys to do this. At whatever it is you want to
