We're going to jump into the Minnesota Goodbye with an unusual topic that I don't
think it's ever been brought up before. Do you guys believe in reincarnation?
I never did until my now nine year old was four. I was pregnant
with number two, and my son would say he knew the baby was a
boy. We didn't find out the sex, and he was hoping it was
his best friend, John Mark. We don't have anybody else close to us
named John or Mark. He would say him and John were best friends until
he picked me and my husband to be his mom and dad. John Mark
was so sad when he left to come to this world. Okay, that's
a little bit crazy, but I wish I would have pushed for more details,
but that's all I got out of him. Now he doesn't remember anything
about it. A few nights ago, my second who is now four,
said, he said, before he came here, he was an adult and
had kids, and there was a fire that started at the bottom of the
building and went all the way to the top. Obviously they could be dreaming
or using their imagination, but my first one with John Mark was adamant about
it. I actually believed him I've read that four is kind of the prime
age for them to remember things from their past lives, so it'll be interesting
to see if my now two year old remembers anything in a few years.
Oh wow, I now love looking up stories or reading about reincarnation. Maybe
a bit for the show. People can write in with their stories. It's
so interesting to me. Better yet, Drake should get hypnotized by a past
life hypnotist or all of you. But I feel like that you guys could
use them as a guinea pig. I've seriously been considering going in to see
One Happy hump Day that is from Shay Falon. You watch Working Moms on
Netflix, Yes, Okay, and the new season's out, so I have
to like actually watch it. But it is good and ridiculous, and there
are some like episodes or season parts I'm not into, but overall, it's
such a good show. I recommend to people. It's funny. I don't
believe in reincarnation because I've never seen any evidence myself, but I've read some
good stories about it. But it's one of those things I like to have
an open mind about it. But I don't know about an entire show about
reincarnation because it would kind of be like, it's polarizing. There are people
who would be like, nah, no, thanks, you know, they're
religious beliefs that a lot of people don't believe in reincarnation. Say that again
due to religious beliefs, specific religions that there are lots of beliefs, like
religious groups that absolutely do not believe in that. I'm not like super religious,
so I would say, I don't know. I'm curious about it.
I think I could believe in it, but I'm like Dave, where I've
never experienced it other than reading a story like yours, I've never even known
anyone to talk about it. Yeah, but I bet a lot of people
don't talk about it because they're afraid that people will think they're crazy. It's
like us, you have a UFO, you don't want to talk about it.
Next one, my brother is getting married. Told us a month ago.
The wedding was in September, and it's far away, a twenty six
hour drive. My husband works construction and I stay home with our three kids
four and under. That is too soon for a five person, one income
family to make that work. We talked about it, decided that me and
my oldest can go. He is in it and the god Child, but
no one else. My husband doesn't get PTO, so on top of the
trip expenses, he wouldn't be getting paid. People are trying to tell me
to take longer than I'm comfortable with being away from my twins. I want
one or two nights. Other people are trying to convince me of three to
four nights, and I don't want to. It is her brother getting married.
Just as a reminder. I'm also freaking out flying out flying. I'm
freaking out about flying with just one of my kids for some reason. If
it was all the kids or none of the kids, I'd feel better.
But for some reason, flying with one gives me so much anxiety. I
am afraid something will happen in me and my child will die one because I
think about that kind of fun stuff when it comes to my kids. I'm
in my thirties of life and I've flown three times, all pre children.
Any tips on anxiety about flying with kids, besides therapy for issues like this,
which I'm working on getting better because it's an issue. Whaling a backup
too. I read something on the show of the Day before yesterday or yesterday.
You don't have to go to any excuse is good to not go to
a wedding. And I'm going to say, even if it's your brothers,
you know you can say we can't afford it. It's too far away.
I've got kids. If you think you can get away with it, and
your brother is kind, he'll understand. I think so you don't have to
go. You disagree, I can tell by the look on your face.
Yeah, go ahead. I think she's doing the right thing. I think
I absolutely respect your husband can't get PTO. You don't want to bring the
two youngest. I think your decision you've made is absolutely the best decision because
you're I think there's no way. If my sister told me she was getting
married and she gave me this many months notice, it's not like it's next
week, it's September. I cannot imagine being like, sorry, we can't
afford it, because then your sister, in this case, your brother would
be like, oh, but you were able to afford that little beach vacation
for your family, and that sucks because you're like, I should be able
to take a beach vacation, but I don't know how many brothers you have.
I don't know if it's his first wedding. Let's say you have one
brother and his first wedding. Sounds like you're sons, their daughters the god
child. Yeah, I kind of feel like you have to go to that
one. I will address the flying. There are no plane crashes anymore.
There really aren't. The only plane crashes happen in other countries where they are
not regulated, where they are not inspected, they cut corners. We've learned
so much about plane crashes, and there will be more plane crashes, but
they just don't happen. Like back in the fifties, planes crashed every week.
Sixties, planes crashed every week, seventies planes crashed every month. In
the eighties it was like maybe four times a year. In the nineties maybe
twice a year. Now planes in the last twenty years, there has not
been a serious plane crash in the United States knock on wood in a couple
of decades. They're just happened. As soon as I bring that up,
somebody be like, bah, you forgot about the one. Okay, But
plane travel is so safe now. I know it is anxiety inducing, but
they just don't crash anymore. So as a pilot and somebody who follows all
that really just don't crash in the United States anymore. So I would say,
also, you said you're nervous to be away from your twins. I
don't know if that means you've never been away from them, but I would
say, as someone who doesn't have twins or kids, I think this sounds
like a good opportunity for you to get some maybe much needed time away from
your twins and to have one on one time with your other child. So
maybe look at it like that, like this is such a good opportunity for
such a bonding moment with this child. I think it's good for all of
us as adults to have time away from our children. And it's hard,
I get it, but I think that this will actually be a good thing
for you. All right. Next one, I just want to say that
the the ads that run in the podcasts are so much better. There's variety,
they aren't scream talking. I listen no matter what, but it makes
listening better. Whatever you guys did, thank you, Thank you. That
is from Rose. So I think they're talking about the Cassine And here's the
thing, you know, we appreciate any sponsor that sponsor us. But I
think that somebody back in corporate was like not aware of the thing that I
addressed yesterday that because I experienced radio as a listener, I have an appreciation
for what that experience should sound like. And I think that there are people
back in corporate that they don't. They're not fans of radio. They would
just as soon work at a publishing company, or they would do like HR
for a building company. They don't have a passion for radio, so I
don't think that they understand it, but so we will fight for that to
be better all the time. We did find out one thing after that.
I did think it was important to pass along on the podcast. Our boss
explained that the listening experience on the app is different for every single person.
So if someone says they keep hearing one song over and over again, a
lot of other people are not. So it's hard to fix that because it's
different depending I guess on what and where you are. Yeah, it's weird,
so it's hard to change that. And I don't know the answer to
that, but I thought it was interesting to pass along. Hello a long
time listener, first time caller. Ha ha, I'm almost thirty seven.
My earliest memory of listening to you was when Carson was born, so that
was a while ago. You were fifteen, so it wasn't like your first
memory, but it was a long time ago. This email is about Jared
Sebasta. Oh wow, I forgot about him. Back in twenty thirteen,
he narrative a parody song from Lord's Royals. My friend and I worked a
few cubicles apart, we absolutely thought the song was the best. I got
married in twenty fourteen and my best friend was my personal attendant. She was
able to get the DJ to play this song, so we danced at this
at my wedding reception. I don't know if she means the song Royals or
the Jared Sebasta. The Jared Sebasto song is what she's saying. Pretty sure,
not many people knew what was going on, but it was the best,
most thoughtful wedding present ever. I've even attached the short YouTube video if
you wanted to check it out. Somehow many years ago, I shared this
story with Jared and he thought it was pretty great. I think he made
a post about weather about the weather and said blame Jared, so I shared
it with him here. I think this song should have been back this winter
or spring. I blame Jared and they attached Stephanie. They attached the YouTube
blank and I'm gonna watch that later because if you had a dance to a
song that I did at your wedding, that means the world to me.
That is really hear it was great. He played along. So while he
hasn't been on as a meteorologist in years now, I'm still Facebook friends with
him actually, and I think he and his family moved to kind of a
smaller Minnesota town and I don't know what he does now, but I don't
think he does any TV now. Next one, I was listening to the
Minnesota to Monday's show and Dave said he took one of the grandkids to the
park and they cried when it was time to leave. Just want to give
you a tip I was given. I use all the time when I want
to leave, I tell my daughter it's getting close to time to go home.
So do you want to play for three more minutes or five more minutes?
She picks one, and I said, hey, Siri, set a
timer for whatever she chooses, and sometimes she winds, but it's pretty much
eliminated the crying and fits leaving the park. I've used this since she was
about to You know what, I'll be honest with you, I probably won't
use it because I don't regularly take her to the park. If I did
like it, as I was a dad or a mom, I would probably
use that. You know what I was talking about last night with Susan.
We were looking at the picture and I just love it so much of me
holding Evelyn when she wasn't feeling good the other day, and I was asking
Susan, I said, I don't remember doing anything with the kids like that.
I don't remember feeding them. I remember, I mean a little bit
here and there. Yeah, I don't remember I changed Carson. I can
still remember like changing Carson. And I don't remember changing Allison, but I
know I did. I don't remember feeding Carson bottles, but I know I
did. I don't remember helping. I don't remember helping. And I said,
did I help? And she said, yeah, you were a great
help. She said I did more than you, but she expected to do
more than me, but she said, no, you were great help.
Why don't I remember helping give my kids bottles? And diapers and putting decetin
on their little red butt. You don't remember those little things. You just
don't even I have already forgotten. They say, that's actually like our women
especially are designed to forget so that we have another baby. Like you forget
all the hard stuff and that's why you have another baby. And they're like,
oh, f now I remember this part I had forgotten. It's like
our body's way, of our mind's way of protecting us, so we do
it again or something. Which is kind of funny, but I think you
just forget the little those are such robotic hamster will things, the feeding,
the changing, the diaper. You just remember other things, or you remember
the one explosive diaper. I don't know. I think that that's normal.
I don't think that's abnormal for you to feel that way. I think it's
true. With like it's kind of like with marathons. Maybe we forget what's
unpleasant because when you run a marathon, you cross the finish line and you're
very likely to go I'm never going to do that again. But then a
couple of years later, there you are signed up for another marathon. All
right, thanks for that one. I'm going to hit delete on that one,
and we're kind of that was kind Oh wait, oh wait, I
found another bunch here. Okay, I's been a bunch of longer ones.
I think, yeah, let me see if I can find one. I
don't think you're going most of them are longer. They looked like they are
a little bit long. Okay, let's try this one. I do want
to let you know the chump casino ads have disappeared. There's a variety in
the ads. Now, well, that's good to hear. I would be
in favor of getting rid of War the Roses as an alternative. I love
when you have gas like Nerdy or Benjamin come on, or when you have
an expert in for asking anything, like the recycling expert on Earth Day.
So okay, I mean that is something because seriously, I know, War
the Roses is big, and I don't think we're going to get rid of
it anytime soon. But at the same time, maybe it's time to move
on to something else. Here's the problem. It'd be like getting rid of
the big mac over at McDonald's a lot, and you might say, well,
that's the bad example. If Culver's got rid of their butterburger that's what
people go to Culver's for, you know what I mean, that's our signature
bit. And people some people listen only because of War the Roses. They're
there for that fifteen minutes and then they're gone for the week. Well,
I will say this, we always did until the Path, until COVID,
we always took summers off of War the Roses. We always did. But
then with COVID, I'll be honest, ratings dropped for radio all over and
that's our biggest performing segments, so we started making sure we didn't take it
off for the summer. Okay, so, but we do love interviews too.
But but the problem is with interviews, it really depends on who it
is. Like For example, if I were to have the main guy from
Jury Duty on the show tomorrow, people who love Jury Duty would wet their
pants with happiness that the main guy from Jury Duty on, but ninety five
percent of people don't know who he is. If we were to have Kevin
Costner on, that's a different story because he's so big. If we were
to have Oprah on, that's a different story. But we don't get Kevin
Costner and Oprah. As a matter of fact, we really don't even get
here's the problem. I'm going to be real transparent with you. A lot
of artists don't do radio interviews anymore, a lot of actors whatever, because
they've got social media and they don't need radio. And so there are a
couple of big shows that still do, like Howard Stern or Rutan Seacrest.
Yeah, Elvis Duran, he gets some bobby bones. Look at the country
artists, well, country artists are also very different. Country artists seem to
still love radio. They like still respected, they still actually shout out radio
and acceptance speeches. It's very different than pop and hip hop artists. It's
a whole different culture with country radio, and country artists have always been very
they'll they'll like, hey, come on down in Nashville, come run home.
Literally yeah, oh gosh, sure, I was like, yeah.
The timing of the sad story about the girl in the park was insane.
Yesterday, two nights ago, I took my four year old son to meet
his preschool friend at the park. There was an eleven year old girl there
by herself, and she started to join the two boys playing tag. It
started off okay, but I had to draw the line when they started going
down the tube slide as a train, where we could no longer see them.
I wondered if I was overreacting, but after hearing that story, I'm
glad I stopped them. I hate the idea that the girl was all alone
and just wanting to make friends, but I also got to be careful of
potentially harmful situations for my son. Does anybody else have experience with kids at
a park and knowing where to draw the line. I want my son to
be friendly, but also careful. Girls can be guilty of that behavior too.
One of my good friends is about my age, and her older cousin
was like fourteen and this girl was eight, and they kissed in the pool,
and the fourteen year old wanted to kiss the eight year old, and
the eight year old didn't know, didn't get it. And I said,
did she do anything else? She said, I really don't remember, but
I definitely knew, like growing up later, it was wrong. And the
girl was fourteen, so she obviously knew. Yeah, you don't make out
with an eight year old girl or boy. Yeah, the you know,
it's weird, it's interesting. She says that when we took all of to
that now nothing. I didn't have any concern with anything, anything being weird
happening, but like, you know, we took off to that like this
little it was I'm not gonna say what it was. It was an event
where there are tons of kids, and for some reason, little kids that
are older than Olive are drawn to Olive. They always are. They always
want to go pick her up and hold her and play with her. I
think it's because all of it is like so outgoing and like so anyway.
And I was just like, I don't know who this little kid is that
keeps picking up Olive and being all about her. And I finally was like,
it's not that I thought little kid was doing something wrong. I was
just like, this is no, I don't know. I felt the same
way. I felt weird because I'm like, they're just trying to have fun,
but no, I bought all of here for us, I don't know.
So I went and took her away from the little girl and held her,
and I was like I had the same weird feeling of like, and
this was probably a couple of months ago, like am I doing something?
Am I being overprotective and weird? But I was like I don't care next
one. DearS, Dave, Fallon, Jenny and Drake. First of all,
I love you so very much. I'm a listener from California who found
you on iHeart back in twenty ten. You've been in my ears in my
car every day since then. Thank you for being some of the best virtual
friends I've ever had. That being said, I mean this with love.
Fuck you, guys. I'm traveling for six weeks through Europe with my husband
and friends and currently sitting on the Glacier Express having just left Zermatt, Switzerland
and the Madder Horn. Imagine my surprise and the synchronicity of it all.
On Wednesday's Minnesota Goodbye, Dave finished up the show talking about the Madder Horn.
Oh no, I forget how it came up. They'll explain it.
That's even worse, they'll explain it, except the content it was brought up
in was not the most savory. Oh now I remember, okay, I
believe Dave reference is seen on the Netflix show Jury Duty, in which a
giant turd was shown sticking out of a toilet, and he said it reminded
him of the Matter Horn at Disneyland, having literally just seen the actual matter
horn. Guess what I can't get out of my mind. Yep, that
looks like a giant pile of snow covered shit rising out of a toilet.
Wonderful. Lol. Hey, thank you so much, very much for that
lasting visual. I think it's just funny. I'm not reading right now.
I think it's funny that of all the freaking places in the world that you
were listening when we brought up the matter Horn. I think we have more
people listening to this show than I thought, because if people, what are
the chances that we bring up the matter Horn and somebody listening to the podcast
within a few hours is at the matter Horn. I know, small world.
I did write the back. I said, if you're there for a
while, I said, send me some tips on Switzerland. I want to
know about Switzerland. That's the word I leave off I it will make going
through editing my photos all the more entertaining. Thanks y'all so much for bringing
a small smile to my face and making me laugh every day. You guys
are truly the best. Sending love from Switzerland, all my best from Robert
and he sends a picture of the matter Horn, which is, I mean,
a very striking severely angled arrowhead, sharp peak, and there he is
with his friends, sipping wine at the foot of the matter Horn in front
of a big glacier. And that is just freaking cool, No coach.
It looks like it's like a couple of flannel shirts and a scarf. That
wow, you know what, I admire you. What a freaking cool trip
that is? That is really cool. That is Robert right there he is.
I'm gonna guess he's probably thirty thirty two wish. It's hard to say.
I'm going in three weeks? You want to come? Are you going
to Switzerland in three weeks? Foulon? If you need pointer for Switzerland,
shoot me an email and hook you up with some suggestions. Cheers. Are
you taking Olive with you to Switzerland? I'm not. No, she's staying
with my mom. Um. Okay, I think that is it. We've
gone pretty long here on the Minnesota goodbye, So that will wrap it up.
