WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:05.160 It's the Minnesota Good Bae with Jenny and Drake. That was aggressive. Jenny 2 00:00:05.200 --> 00:00:08.839 started off Monday, I'm excited because it's about to be like so warm. 3 00:00:09.240 --> 00:00:11.960 No, I'm going to have to do some things outside. I think I'm 4 00:00:11.960 --> 00:00:14.880 going to go for like a really long walk after we end today, I 5 00:00:14.919 --> 00:00:18.120 think is what I'm going to do. I think I have like my whole 6 00:00:18.160 --> 00:00:20.719 schedule because I'm a weirdo and I have my day planned already, but it 7 00:00:20.800 --> 00:00:25.120 evolves and involves going to the gym and then I'm going to come back to 8 00:00:25.160 --> 00:00:28.359 the station to record the podcast with Found because we record on Mondays. That 9 00:00:28.800 --> 00:00:32.759 I'm so fun that fallon and I do, and then I have some work 10 00:00:32.799 --> 00:00:34.880 I have to do on something, and then I'm going to go for a 11 00:00:34.920 --> 00:00:38.240 walk around the lakes in Uptown with Andrew later, as long as his schedule 12 00:00:38.280 --> 00:00:41.159 didn't get busy, because his schedule is always all over the place, right, 13 00:00:41.240 --> 00:00:45.679 But my whole day is basically mapped out, including a walk. All 14 00:00:45.759 --> 00:00:49.399 right, let's jump into the email. This one says, hello everyone, 15 00:00:49.640 --> 00:00:52.679 my name is Sarah. I finally had to write in and say how much 16 00:00:52.679 --> 00:00:55.640 I appreciate listening to you all. I am thirty years old and I've been 17 00:00:55.640 --> 00:00:59.039 listening to the Morning show on and off since fourth grade. I remember in 18 00:00:59.119 --> 00:01:02.759 fifth grade my clock radio was my alarm clock. It was set to Katiewb's 19 00:01:02.799 --> 00:01:04.799 Morning show to go off. As the alarm, I would hear Dave's voice 20 00:01:04.840 --> 00:01:08.519 in my dream and not wake up. Haha. I am currently on maternity 21 00:01:08.599 --> 00:01:11.280 leave and listen to the morning show and podcast most days. I am writing 22 00:01:11.319 --> 00:01:15.400 because I have two girls, an almost three year old named Betty and an 23 00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:19.000 eight week old name Ruth. I absolutely love their names. There was a 24 00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:22.120 lot of thought put into the names, as I am a former teacher and 25 00:01:22.200 --> 00:01:26.840 never met a Xander or Xander with a zee or Xander with an x that 26 00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:30.719 wasn't a little stinker. Can totally relate to the name struggle. Thanks again 27 00:01:30.719 --> 00:01:34.040 for making me smile every day. Someone had wrote in one's asking what was 28 00:01:34.120 --> 00:01:37.719 the worst name for a baby girl. I mean, we had just read 29 00:01:37.760 --> 00:01:42.480 the email, and I on the spot said Ruth because I know a Ruth 30 00:01:42.519 --> 00:01:45.040 that I worked with, and whatever, it wasn't pleasant. And then I 31 00:01:45.079 --> 00:01:49.040 felt bad because it hurt people's feelings. And I don't I actually think it's 32 00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:52.920 an awful name. I just was like I wouldn't name my child Ruth because 33 00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:57.560 I have a story. So thank you Sarah for writing in, and I 34 00:01:57.599 --> 00:02:01.799 hope you're having a wonderful maternity leave right now. I think, off the 35 00:02:01.799 --> 00:02:05.959 top of my head, I think like Beatrice would be. That was my 36 00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:08.759 grandma's name? Was that your grandma tres yep oh Man? But everyone called 37 00:02:08.759 --> 00:02:15.240 her b b Love that all right? This one comes from a COLEMs. 38 00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:20.319 This one colms what just happened to my voice? This one super weird is 39 00:02:20.360 --> 00:02:23.280 about a topic that we talked about, I believe, on the show with 40 00:02:23.319 --> 00:02:27.360 tipping culture. It says I had to write in with my perspective on the 41 00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:30.159 tipping culture. I agree with you all that it has gotten out of control. 42 00:02:30.199 --> 00:02:34.759 I find myself spending a larger portion of our budget on tipping every month, 43 00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:37.759 every morning. That's at least a dollar to my barista, than a 44 00:02:37.759 --> 00:02:39.479 few dollars to the person that brings out my grocery order, then a few 45 00:02:39.520 --> 00:02:43.199 more to the guys and gal at the car wash. You get the idea. 46 00:02:43.479 --> 00:02:46.400 The part that is crazy to me is tipping a counter service where I'm 47 00:02:46.439 --> 00:02:49.879 simply purchasing something Deli style and the iPad asked if I want a tip twenty 48 00:02:49.879 --> 00:02:52.840 percent or more. This is where it gets tricky. As a former server 49 00:02:52.919 --> 00:02:55.400 and bartender, I understand the importance of tipping in our culture. The wages 50 00:02:55.439 --> 00:03:00.639 for those industries are set up to need tips to survive. Do the deli 51 00:03:00.639 --> 00:03:04.319 employees make a decent wage? I don't know. Another huge factor is whether 52 00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:08.439 or not they are considered tipped employees. Tipped employees are taxed on percentages of 53 00:03:08.479 --> 00:03:13.919 their sales, So if the IRS considers them a tipped employee, then I 54 00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:17.199 feel obligated to tip because they will be taxed as though they made a tip 55 00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:21.919 off my purchase. This topic fires me up. If you can't tell, 56 00:03:21.960 --> 00:03:23.719 I would love a staff writer sticker if they're still available. All right, 57 00:03:24.199 --> 00:03:29.199 All, all right, I was going to say it wrong. So Dave 58 00:03:29.319 --> 00:03:31.280 was saying you could sign off with that if you don't feel comfortable signing off 59 00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:34.800 with Dartleck, or you don't have to sign off with anything as well. 60 00:03:35.120 --> 00:03:39.039 So now people are like, all right, And that comes from Emily. 61 00:03:39.199 --> 00:03:42.639 I think is your name? I'm not sure if I'm pronouncing it correct. 62 00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:46.280 Yes, I will send this over today to get you a staff writer sticker. 63 00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:49.680 She does bring up a very good point because I was a server for 64 00:03:49.719 --> 00:03:52.520 a very long time, so people always said like, oh, you don't 65 00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:54.159 have to claim your cash tips, like how is the I R S going 66 00:03:54.240 --> 00:03:58.520 to know? And by people, I don't mean myself. I claim my 67 00:03:58.599 --> 00:04:02.680 cash tips, but they always said you had to claim at least ten percent 68 00:04:02.879 --> 00:04:09.919 of your sales, so that would cover your cash tips, because how are 69 00:04:09.919 --> 00:04:13.560 they going to prove that you got a cash tip. It's kind of how 70 00:04:13.560 --> 00:04:15.840 it comes down to you. So what she's bringing up is a really good 71 00:04:15.840 --> 00:04:19.920 point. Are these people who are asking for tips at counter service are they 72 00:04:19.959 --> 00:04:25.439 being taxed based on the amount of sales that are being sold, because then 73 00:04:26.040 --> 00:04:29.199 you do feel an obligation to tip, because that's so unfair if they're getting 74 00:04:29.199 --> 00:04:32.439 taxed on that, or are they simply working their hourly wage and getting tax 75 00:04:32.480 --> 00:04:36.839 like they would normally anyone who works an hourly wage and not looking at sales 76 00:04:36.879 --> 00:04:41.079 at all. So there is a very big difference, and I'm so happy 77 00:04:41.079 --> 00:04:45.480 you brought that up because I've never thought about that before, Like I don't 78 00:04:45.480 --> 00:04:49.160 even know if baristas get tax then based on their sales, because it's like, 79 00:04:49.199 --> 00:04:53.480 as a server, you have your tables, you have Basically, this 80 00:04:53.600 --> 00:04:56.600 print off at the end of your shift just shows everything you've sold for that 81 00:04:56.680 --> 00:05:00.000 shift, So it shows specifically how many sales you did. A barista is 82 00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:04.000 working with four other people sometimes, so how are you dividing that up? 83 00:05:04.120 --> 00:05:06.839 Is it? I don't know if anyone else has more insight on that. 84 00:05:08.000 --> 00:05:12.360 Or maybe you work at subway and you have your tip chart. There are 85 00:05:12.399 --> 00:05:16.040 you getting taxed on the sales that are happening, because then, yeah, 86 00:05:16.079 --> 00:05:20.079 the tips do feel fair in a way for sure. Yeah, maybe that's 87 00:05:20.079 --> 00:05:25.279 a little complicated. I understand understand that as a server, but as a 88 00:05:25.319 --> 00:05:28.839 previous server. But that is a very good point that she brings up. 89 00:05:28.879 --> 00:05:31.199 Can I just say it is still relatively new and a lot of people might 90 00:05:31.199 --> 00:05:35.920 not know this. There's so many people that don't know that. You know, 91 00:05:36.079 --> 00:05:41.600 waiters, waitresses, they get paid differently, like they don't make like 92 00:05:41.639 --> 00:05:46.439 an actual it is different in Minnesota. Minnesota pays a little bit of a 93 00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:48.639 higher minimum. I think they make minimum wage now in Minnesota, if not 94 00:05:48.759 --> 00:05:53.319 more a normal minimum wage. Yes, And but in Wisconsin you get paid 95 00:05:53.319 --> 00:05:56.199 like three dollars an hour. Yeah, so I didn't know that. Yeah, 96 00:05:56.240 --> 00:05:59.560 the longest time, like that is still relatively a new thing that I 97 00:05:59.639 --> 00:06:03.079 learned, and that actually blew my mind and it does change the way I 98 00:06:03.120 --> 00:06:06.519 think about, you know, tipping and whatnot in such a different fashion. 99 00:06:06.519 --> 00:06:12.079 But there's so many people that think that they make a regular wage on top 100 00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:14.879 of like a good wage on top of the tips. Yeah, and that's 101 00:06:14.920 --> 00:06:17.040 just not that's just not how that works at all. So good, I'm 102 00:06:17.040 --> 00:06:21.079 Minnesota for doing that. Everybody should do that. I feel like, well, 103 00:06:21.319 --> 00:06:26.399 there's a back and forth with that because when that came into play where 104 00:06:26.680 --> 00:06:29.800 servers were making more the minimum wage went up or whatever it was. I 105 00:06:29.839 --> 00:06:32.319 was still a server at the time, and some people were kind of frustrated 106 00:06:32.360 --> 00:06:36.720 because they felt like then people were tipping less because they were like, well, 107 00:06:36.720 --> 00:06:42.079 now you make a better wage where they could have made more just getting 108 00:06:42.199 --> 00:06:46.240 tips versus getting paid that hourly. And then also that takes a hit on 109 00:06:46.360 --> 00:06:51.959 the owners of a restaurant or whatever corporate place owns it. There's a lot 110 00:06:51.959 --> 00:06:56.000 that can go into it. I'm trying to look to see how much servers 111 00:06:56.040 --> 00:06:59.920 in Wisconsin make now because I just I don't know, I just wish that 112 00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:02.360 these like, you know, these big corporate people, I just wish tipping 113 00:07:02.839 --> 00:07:05.160 honestly, and this might be a hot take, I just wish, and 114 00:07:05.279 --> 00:07:09.439 don't flame on me for saying this, but I wish tipping was never a 115 00:07:09.480 --> 00:07:14.639 thing. I just wish that we paid everybody a good, fair, livable 116 00:07:14.680 --> 00:07:17.160 wage, that these companies would just pay them so that we didn't have to 117 00:07:17.160 --> 00:07:21.399 worry about tipping at all, because it's so complicated. Just pay people a 118 00:07:21.399 --> 00:07:25.759 good amount of money so that we don't have to do the tipping. Like, 119 00:07:25.879 --> 00:07:28.600 is that is that a hot take or is that? Like? I 120 00:07:28.639 --> 00:07:30.920 don't know. I just think that there's a lot more that goes into it 121 00:07:30.959 --> 00:07:34.759 than just saying that because you are providing a service. But then everyone else 122 00:07:34.839 --> 00:07:38.000 is going to argue that, like, well, nurses provide a service, 123 00:07:38.040 --> 00:07:41.839 teachers provide a service. I don't know, Honestly, I'm kind of over 124 00:07:41.879 --> 00:07:45.120 this topic. We talk about tipping culture all the time, and so like, 125 00:07:45.199 --> 00:07:47.279 I appreciate the emails about it, and I appreciate the conversations when it 126 00:07:47.279 --> 00:07:50.920 comes up with something specific like what you just brought up, Emily, but 127 00:07:51.360 --> 00:07:57.639 truthfully, it gets exhausted. It is exhausted. I think we all Yes, 128 00:07:57.639 --> 00:08:00.319 if you don't have the money to tip, it is frustrating to then 129 00:08:00.839 --> 00:08:05.079 feel like shit because you didn't tip on the iPad and the person standing behind 130 00:08:05.079 --> 00:08:09.240 the counter knows. But it's also like, if you have the money, 131 00:08:09.079 --> 00:08:13.319 then tip. But like I'm saying that as someone who doesn't tip at most 132 00:08:13.360 --> 00:08:16.600 places, like I don't have the money to constantly be tipping, So I 133 00:08:16.639 --> 00:08:18.639 tip at the places that I feel are appropriate, and I tip the appropriate 134 00:08:18.639 --> 00:08:22.279 amount of money, if not a little bit more as a former server, 135 00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:26.560 because I don't know. If you've ever worked in a place where you get 136 00:08:26.600 --> 00:08:31.600 tips, you're most likely a really good tipper. But let's move on to 137 00:08:31.680 --> 00:08:33.960 another one. And you might need a second to think about this, because 138 00:08:33.000 --> 00:08:35.039 I'm trying to think of about it as I read it. But it says, 139 00:08:35.080 --> 00:08:39.080 hello, morning crew, question for you, what did you learn the 140 00:08:39.120 --> 00:08:43.159 hard way? So that's this person's question, And I'm going to read a 141 00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:46.879 story first, so think about that, and then we'll each take a turn 142 00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:50.480 saying what ours is. So it says I learned that you can't just slap 143 00:08:50.519 --> 00:08:54.080 anything on your nipples and call it a day. I'm sure at this point 144 00:08:54.159 --> 00:08:58.559 you're desperate for some context. I'll provide an embarrassing story as my example, 145 00:09:00.000 --> 00:09:05.000 wedding in summer wedding season, summer strapless dress that does not work with any 146 00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:07.799 sort of bra that I owned. The plight of a stylish woman. I 147 00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:11.759 had forgotten to pack my quote pedals, which are basically there. If you 148 00:09:11.759 --> 00:09:15.960 don't know what those are, they're basically to cover up your nipples and they 149 00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:20.159 just stick to you basically so you're not piercing through, or if it's a 150 00:09:20.159 --> 00:09:24.480 little sheer fabric, you got some coverage over the girls. So she forgot 151 00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:28.720 to pack her pedals and was desperate to find something to cover up the blinkers. 152 00:09:30.000 --> 00:09:33.120 God, I love your wording on this. To cover up the blinkers 153 00:09:33.519 --> 00:09:37.919 in case there is air conditioning in the church venue. So my husband and 154 00:09:37.960 --> 00:09:41.720 I take a pit stop at a local Walgreens. Unable to find anything designated 155 00:09:41.759 --> 00:09:45.960 for the purpose of covering up nips, I find some moleskin. I think 156 00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:50.080 my problems are solved nude color, and they solved my problem perfectly. But 157 00:09:50.159 --> 00:09:56.200 my problems were just beginning. I did not know that moleskin is supposed to 158 00:09:56.279 --> 00:09:58.720 be soaked off with water. But my husband and I were troopers. My 159 00:09:58.759 --> 00:10:03.519 whole family was renting a large house Airbnb and the two of us were going 160 00:10:03.639 --> 00:10:07.240 through it in the bedroom after the wedding. He was trying to remove the 161 00:10:07.320 --> 00:10:13.039 moleskin. I was desperately trying to stay quiet. I was literally biting down 162 00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:16.480 on a makeup pencil like I was a wounded Civil War soldier and my husband 163 00:10:16.519 --> 00:10:20.200 was a field doctor putting a musket ball, pulling a musket ball out of 164 00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:26.440 my body. Eventually we completed the task. I was free, but I 165 00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:31.600 learned a very valuable lesson that day. Take care, don't put random adhesives 166 00:10:31.639 --> 00:10:35.639 on your nipples. Oh my god, that was such a good story. 167 00:10:35.679 --> 00:10:37.120 And I can't say their name, but you know who you are, and 168 00:10:37.200 --> 00:10:41.200 I am I. Yeah, I don't know if I probably would have maybe 169 00:10:41.240 --> 00:10:43.559 done something similar to you, because what are you supposed to do? Go 170 00:10:45.159 --> 00:10:48.440 find a bra and pay sixty bucks for a bra? But also you can't 171 00:10:48.600 --> 00:10:52.360 because you said you had a dress that didn't work with bras Basically, so 172 00:10:52.320 --> 00:10:56.120 oh man, okay, do you have one off the time you're at Okay, 173 00:10:56.159 --> 00:11:00.799 you go first son. So when I first got into DJ, I 174 00:11:00.919 --> 00:11:05.360 was doing a lot of weddings and they're one of my first weddings I have 175 00:11:05.440 --> 00:11:09.440 ever I ever did I was like about thirteen years old, and I've never 176 00:11:09.879 --> 00:11:13.159 I've gone to a wedding, but I never had to like really dress up 177 00:11:13.159 --> 00:11:16.639 for one because I was I was a kid, you know. So I 178 00:11:16.720 --> 00:11:22.320 went to this wedding that was about two hours away. Okay, I brought 179 00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:28.320 a backpack with me, and I wore regular clothes and what I brought to 180 00:11:28.320 --> 00:11:31.399 this wedding was shorts and like a dress up T shirt. And that's that's 181 00:11:31.440 --> 00:11:35.679 what I that's what I brought. Big mistake. I learned that you have 182 00:11:35.759 --> 00:11:41.440 to like actually wear pants, like dress pants and whatnot going to this wedding. 183 00:11:41.879 --> 00:11:43.879 But in the back of my mind, I was like, I'm working 184 00:11:43.919 --> 00:11:46.559 the wedding. I'm not like a part of the wedding at all, So 185 00:11:46.559 --> 00:11:48.840 why would I need a dress up? Yeah, So I just brought like 186 00:11:48.840 --> 00:11:52.279 a nice shirt and some shorts because it was summertime, right, Yeah. 187 00:11:52.279 --> 00:11:56.799 And I basically had to go buy like at like a like a store. 188 00:11:56.799 --> 00:11:58.960 I had to go buy pants that didn't match anything, but I had to 189 00:12:00.120 --> 00:12:01.720 get some sort of pants. And that's what I learned is you need to 190 00:12:01.720 --> 00:12:05.960 have you need to wear pants at weddings. So I was super stupid, 191 00:12:07.519 --> 00:12:15.600 You're funny. You're so funny. Okay. My story, I've told this 192 00:12:15.679 --> 00:12:20.519 sort of on the air before is to never pierce your own body part because 193 00:12:20.639 --> 00:12:24.240 I pierced my belly button with a cow needle that was bought from fleet Farm, 194 00:12:24.039 --> 00:12:28.399 not once, twice because the first time I got messed up and I 195 00:12:28.440 --> 00:12:31.639 was like, I could just do it again, no big deal. I 196 00:12:31.679 --> 00:12:35.120 was sixteen, I think at the time, and everyone had like the dangling 197 00:12:35.200 --> 00:12:37.399 belly buttoned piercings. All my girlfriends did. Most of us did own behind 198 00:12:37.399 --> 00:12:41.080 our parents' backs. Some of them had cool parents who took them to get 199 00:12:41.120 --> 00:12:43.960 it pierced themselves. Ye, and it, you know, got in. 200 00:12:43.279 --> 00:12:46.039 It didn't get infected, but it got messed up. And now I have 201 00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:50.720 a scar above my belly button that will live there for forever that I see. 202 00:12:50.759 --> 00:12:54.919 It's like a hard tissue scar thing. And I learned my lesson, 203 00:12:54.960 --> 00:12:58.240 don't do your own piercings. Some people might disagree, because I'm sure a 204 00:12:58.279 --> 00:13:03.039 lot of people have pierce things on their own. There's probably certain ones you 205 00:13:03.080 --> 00:13:09.120 can do on your own, truthfully, but I would definitely suggest something like 206 00:13:09.159 --> 00:13:11.279 a belly button, getting that done by a professor. Sure. Yeah, 207 00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:16.120 So all right, So that's going to be it for the Minnesota Goodbye. 208 00:13:16.159 --> 00:13:18.120 We're a little bit low on emails, so if you want to send us 209 00:13:18.120 --> 00:13:20.720 an email.
