WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.759 All right, here we go with today's Minnesota Goodbye. We're gonna start off 2 00:00:02.759 --> 00:00:07.559 with this one says, Okay, long time listener, first time email or 3 00:00:07.639 --> 00:00:12.279 first I absolutely love all of you. Thank you. So does my little 4 00:00:13.119 --> 00:00:17.879 thirty year old nephew, Blake Blakey. I feel looks like we always text 5 00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:21.600 each other when war the rose is over and it's super dicey, and we 6 00:00:21.640 --> 00:00:25.239 talked about that second. This is the real reason for the email. So 7 00:00:26.120 --> 00:00:29.559 there was a story about a guy who had been with this company's customer or 8 00:00:29.600 --> 00:00:32.840 something. They went on a really small plane and he had to relieve himself 9 00:00:32.920 --> 00:00:37.320 in flight after drinking the night before and coffee the morning after. While on 10 00:00:37.399 --> 00:00:41.719 the small business plane, the toilet was in the worst spot. So the 11 00:00:41.759 --> 00:00:46.079 guy wrote the fucking funniest thing I've ever heard. Please find it and read 12 00:00:46.119 --> 00:00:51.560 it again. XO XO. M A love hearing you guys, swear. 13 00:00:51.840 --> 00:00:55.119 So I found it and are you ready? I'm ready? All right, 14 00:00:55.159 --> 00:00:56.759 here we go. You might have heard of Jenny. I'm not sure. 15 00:00:59.119 --> 00:01:03.240 I'm not sure if there's a name for the combination cringe and sympathy and disgust, 16 00:01:03.040 --> 00:01:06.680 but I'm pretty sure anybody who has a functioning set of bowels and the 17 00:01:06.680 --> 00:01:10.640 ability to feel shame, will feel that reading this man's story, a story 18 00:01:10.680 --> 00:01:15.680 of a private plane. And here we go, just over halfway through the 19 00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:19.000 flight. Now this is the person writing this who experienced this. There's no 20 00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:23.040 prelude about, you know, like we're on a plane to Georgia or whatever. 21 00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:26.079 It just starts this way, just over halfway through the flight. All 22 00:01:26.120 --> 00:01:29.200 the coffee in my stomach feels like it's percolating. It's way down to my 23 00:01:29.239 --> 00:01:33.079 lower intestine. I hunker down and try to focus on other things. Now 24 00:01:33.519 --> 00:01:37.319 in context, I think they were on a flight with business associates, and 25 00:01:37.319 --> 00:01:41.079 they're on like on a gulf Stream jet and so it's fancy, and they're 26 00:01:41.120 --> 00:01:46.040 you know, flying off smaller right, and there's probably eight or so people 27 00:01:46.120 --> 00:01:49.599 on the airplane. And I'm picturing like not like passenger seats, but little 28 00:01:49.599 --> 00:01:53.599 tables over here with a chair on both sides. And they're flying some high 29 00:01:53.599 --> 00:01:59.560 powered clients and whatever. So what feels like an hour probably isn't more than 30 00:01:59.599 --> 00:02:01.959 twenty minut It passes. We then enter what turns out to be pretty violent 31 00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:05.959 turbulence. With each bounce, I have to fight my body try not to 32 00:02:05.959 --> 00:02:10.080 ship my pants thirty minutes to landing, maybe forty five, I try to 33 00:02:10.120 --> 00:02:14.360 tell myself. Each jostle is a gamble I can't afford to lose. I 34 00:02:14.439 --> 00:02:17.680 signal to the flight attendant. Then she heads toward me. Excuse me, 35 00:02:19.439 --> 00:02:22.599 is there a bathroom? I don't see a door, I asked, while 36 00:02:22.639 --> 00:02:25.360 still devoting considerably and considerable energy to fight an off which starts to feel like 37 00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:29.719 somebody shook a Seltzer bottle and shoved it at my ass. She looked at 38 00:02:29.759 --> 00:02:31.199 me, be mused and says, well, we don't really have a toilet 39 00:02:31.240 --> 00:02:37.800 per se. Technically we have one, but it's really just for emergencies. 40 00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:42.599 Don't worry. We're landing shortly anyway. Now. I'm pretty sure this qualifies 41 00:02:42.639 --> 00:02:46.560 as an emergency, I said, I muttered through my grimace. I can 42 00:02:46.599 --> 00:02:49.800 see the fear in her face as she points nervously to the vac seat. 43 00:02:50.680 --> 00:02:53.560 The turbulence outside is matched only by the cyclone that is ravaging my bowels. 44 00:02:53.680 --> 00:02:58.039 She points to the back of the plane and says, there the toilet is 45 00:02:58.080 --> 00:03:02.120 there. For a brief instant, relief passes over my face. She continues, 46 00:03:02.639 --> 00:03:06.840 if you pull away the leather cushion from that seat. It's under there. 47 00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:08.919 There's a small privacy screen that pulls up around it, but that's it. 48 00:03:09.800 --> 00:03:13.520 At this point, I was committed. She had just lit the dynamite 49 00:03:13.520 --> 00:03:16.680 and the mind shaft was set to blow. I turned to look where she's 50 00:03:16.719 --> 00:03:19.919 pointing, and I get the urge to cry. I do cry, but 51 00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:23.400 my face is so tightly clenched it makes no difference. The toilet seat is 52 00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:31.159 occupied by the CFO. Ie our client, our fucking female client. Up 53 00:03:31.199 --> 00:03:35.759 to this point, nobody has observed my struggle or my exchange with the flight 54 00:03:35.800 --> 00:03:38.120 attendant. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. That's all I can say 55 00:03:38.120 --> 00:03:43.800 as I limped toward her, like Quasimoto, impersonated a penguin and begin my 56 00:03:43.879 --> 00:03:49.000 explanation. As soon as my competitors see me talking to the CFO, they 57 00:03:49.039 --> 00:03:52.919 all perk up to find out what the hell I'm doing. Given my normal 58 00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:55.879 jovial nature and fun living attitude thus far on the road show, almost everybody 59 00:03:55.879 --> 00:04:00.400 thinks I'm joking. She, however, knows right away that I am anything 60 00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:03.960 but joking, and she jumps up, moves quickly to where I'd been sitting, 61 00:04:04.520 --> 00:04:08.759 And now I have to remove the seat top, no easy task when 62 00:04:08.800 --> 00:04:12.479 you can barely stand up right at her getting tossed around like a hood rat 63 00:04:12.520 --> 00:04:16.639 at a block party. We're fighting against gastro intestinal mount vesuvius while they have 64 00:04:16.639 --> 00:04:20.560 a way with words. I managed to peel back the leather seat top to 65 00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:26.240 find a rather luxurious looking commode with a nice cherry or walnut frame. It 66 00:04:26.240 --> 00:04:30.319 had obviously never been used. Ever. Why this moment of clarity came to 67 00:04:30.360 --> 00:04:31.839 me, I don't know. Perhaps it was the realization that I was going 68 00:04:31.920 --> 00:04:36.639 to take this toilet's virginity with a fury and savagery that was an abomination to 69 00:04:36.680 --> 00:04:43.439 its delicate craftsmanship and quality. I imagine some poor Italian carpenter weeping over the 70 00:04:43.519 --> 00:04:46.720 violently sold remains of his once beautiful creation. The lament asking it lasted only 71 00:04:46.759 --> 00:04:50.519 a second as I was quickly moved back to concentrated on the tiny muscle that 72 00:04:50.560 --> 00:04:55.519 stood between me and hot molten lava. Oh my god, I reached down 73 00:04:55.519 --> 00:04:59.199 and pull up the privacy screen with only seconds despair before I erupt. It's 74 00:04:59.240 --> 00:05:01.560 an alka Seltzer bomb. Nothing but air and liquid sprained out in all directions. 75 00:05:02.120 --> 00:05:04.319 The pressure is now reversed. I feel like I'm going to have a 76 00:05:04.319 --> 00:05:10.399 stroke. I push so hard to end the relief, the tormented, sublime 77 00:05:10.480 --> 00:05:14.720 relief. I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry. My apologies 78 00:05:14.759 --> 00:05:17.879 do nothing to drown out the heinous noises that seem to carry on and reverberate 79 00:05:17.920 --> 00:05:21.000 through the small cabin. And definitely, if that's not bad enough, I 80 00:05:21.040 --> 00:05:26.199 have one more major problem. The privacy screen stops right around shoulder levels. 81 00:05:26.240 --> 00:05:29.399 So I'm sitting there, a disembodied head in the back of the plane on 82 00:05:29.480 --> 00:05:32.040 a bucking bronco for a toilet, all while looking at my colleagues, competitors, 83 00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:36.079 and clients directly in the eyes. I literally could reach out with my 84 00:05:36.160 --> 00:05:39.720 left hand and rest it on the shoulder of the person adjacent to me. 85 00:05:39.759 --> 00:05:43.920 It was virtually impossible for him or any of the others, and by others, 86 00:05:43.959 --> 00:05:46.639 I mean high profile business partners and clients to avert their eyes. They 87 00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:49.439 scream and try not to look inclined, to do their best to carry on, 88 00:05:49.560 --> 00:05:54.519 pretend like nothing is happening, that they weren't sharing a stall with some 89 00:05:54.519 --> 00:05:59.399 guy crapping his intestines out, releasing smelly, sweaty shame at one hundred feet 90 00:05:59.399 --> 00:06:02.439 per second. I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry. It's all the ashamed, 91 00:06:02.480 --> 00:06:06.600 disembodied head can say over and over again, not that it mattered. 92 00:06:08.279 --> 00:06:13.800 Oh my god, My big takeaway from all this the person who designed a 93 00:06:13.839 --> 00:06:17.439 privacy screen on a toilet, tiny airplane toilet that leisure whole head exposed should 94 00:06:17.480 --> 00:06:23.920 be shot with poop bullets. Seriously, whose idea was that? Did they 95 00:06:23.920 --> 00:06:29.120 contracted out to an alien who'd only read a pamphlet about human evacuation and even 96 00:06:29.160 --> 00:06:35.000 then just skimmed it. So that is the story that's so wild. When 97 00:06:35.040 --> 00:06:40.279 I've read this probably five or six times on the show, and this is 98 00:06:40.279 --> 00:06:42.680 the first time that I've read it and thought, I wonder if this is 99 00:06:42.720 --> 00:06:48.399 made up? My thought was kind of immediately that only because a plane that 100 00:06:48.560 --> 00:06:54.959 is carrying clients and CFOs and things like that, there's no way they did 101 00:06:55.000 --> 00:06:58.759 not have a toilet. Yeah, that was enclosed on that airplane. I 102 00:06:58.759 --> 00:07:02.439 could see it in like, you know, you're flying in a different country 103 00:07:02.519 --> 00:07:06.920 and you're on a small plane between like cities that don't have big airports or 104 00:07:06.959 --> 00:07:12.399 something like that. But in this situation, it seems a little unique that 105 00:07:12.439 --> 00:07:15.399 they would not have a toilet. In a bathroom with a door, And 106 00:07:15.439 --> 00:07:21.839 if they did design a toilet, why bother to make one that's so demeaning, 107 00:07:23.480 --> 00:07:28.199 embarrassing with a privacy screen where you can still see your head. I 108 00:07:28.279 --> 00:07:30.480 don't know whether that airplane exists or not, but it's the first time I've 109 00:07:30.480 --> 00:07:32.800 read that story and said, I don't know if I believe this or not, 110 00:07:32.839 --> 00:07:34.920 but it is it does make a great story. Great story. I 111 00:07:35.000 --> 00:07:39.920 have a story not similar to that, but I was in a fearful moment 112 00:07:39.959 --> 00:07:44.759 for myself. So I went to Thailand one time and we were taking a 113 00:07:44.800 --> 00:07:48.000 bus ride to a city like three hours north, and the night before was 114 00:07:48.040 --> 00:07:51.600 the night where the food finally was not sitting well. I was there for 115 00:07:51.639 --> 00:07:55.519 a few days and I was not feeling well. And it wasn't like a 116 00:07:55.560 --> 00:07:58.720 situation like this guy needed to use the bathroom. I just felt so sick, 117 00:07:58.759 --> 00:08:03.199 like my stomach hurts. And we're getting on this bus and I go 118 00:08:03.360 --> 00:08:07.759 try to talk to someone. Of course, nobody speaks English pretty much anywhere, 119 00:08:07.879 --> 00:08:09.720 like it's the bare minimum of English. So I'm like, do you 120 00:08:09.759 --> 00:08:13.519 have a bathroom on this bus? And they're like yeah, yeah, yeah, 121 00:08:13.519 --> 00:08:16.680 like bathroom, Like we have one and so I took that as like, 122 00:08:16.759 --> 00:08:18.879 yes, they have one, but because I tried to go use it 123 00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:22.839 in the bus station, you had to pay to use it, which whatever 124 00:08:22.839 --> 00:08:24.920 it would have cost me, like a dollar, I should have just paid. 125 00:08:24.480 --> 00:08:26.800 But we get on the bus, I'm looking around and I'm like, 126 00:08:26.959 --> 00:08:31.439 there is not a bathroom because you can see it's a big block wall in 127 00:08:31.480 --> 00:08:33.600 the back. Yeah, And I was thinking, like I used to take 128 00:08:33.600 --> 00:08:35.960 the megabus all the time when I was in college, so I was thinking 129 00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:39.600 I was getting like megabus vibes where there were definitely bathrooms on those buses. 130 00:08:39.080 --> 00:08:41.919 And so I'm looking around and I don't see a bus. And I was 131 00:08:43.080 --> 00:08:46.919 so scared for this bus ride, just because my stomach was so bad, 132 00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:50.000 and I also would have not a great bladder anymore. I have to pee 133 00:08:50.039 --> 00:08:54.879 pretty often too. And so we did take a break at some random gas 134 00:08:54.879 --> 00:08:56.360 station like an hour and a half in where I was able to go to 135 00:08:56.399 --> 00:09:01.200 the bathroom there. But I was so stressed once we started moving that I 136 00:09:01.240 --> 00:09:03.799 was going to have to be the person to tell the bus driver to stop 137 00:09:03.799 --> 00:09:05.759 in like the countryside and like, let me off to go pop a squad 138 00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:09.879 and field and you I mean I guess you could have done that. I 139 00:09:09.919 --> 00:09:13.039 think I've heard of that before. I could that's your last resort. I 140 00:09:13.120 --> 00:09:18.000 was fine, but it was it was a lesson I learned, luckily, 141 00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:20.960 not so much in the hard way, but I learned it to be a 142 00:09:20.960 --> 00:09:22.399 little more clear. When I'm asking for a bathroom, I think, and 143 00:09:22.399 --> 00:09:26.919 I don't speak the language, it can be I mean, it can be 144 00:09:28.039 --> 00:09:33.600 a critical situation. Because this thing comes to mind. There's a YouTube video 145 00:09:33.639 --> 00:09:37.120 that's probably fifteen or twenty years old, and it's a television reporter and I 146 00:09:37.120 --> 00:09:41.120 think she's French, and she is doing a stand up report. So she's 147 00:09:41.120 --> 00:09:43.519 looking at the camera and she's talking, and then she starts to go oh 148 00:09:45.080 --> 00:09:48.639 oh oh, and then she turns around and runs into the building behind her, 149 00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:52.120 and she had shit her pants. She's wearing white pants and she had 150 00:09:52.120 --> 00:09:56.879 shit her pants. And it's just one of those things where she's probably trying 151 00:09:56.879 --> 00:10:01.240 to do a live report. She just could not hold it in more and 152 00:10:01.360 --> 00:10:05.399 she yeah, so, okay, well you requested the airplane shit story. 153 00:10:05.480 --> 00:10:11.039 And there you go. All right, here we go, Amanda. I 154 00:10:11.080 --> 00:10:13.519 think I know you, Amanda. I think you used to be friends with 155 00:10:13.559 --> 00:10:18.159 Allison because I tell you, you sure have a unique last name, So 156 00:10:18.320 --> 00:10:22.960 Amanda shout out to you. Hello to my favorite morning show crew. It 157 00:10:22.120 --> 00:10:26.320 is twelve o three AM and I can't sleep, so I decided to finally 158 00:10:26.360 --> 00:10:31.559 email in some random questions I've had recently, and here we go. What 159 00:10:31.840 --> 00:10:35.080 happened to all the old morning show episodes? Most weeks, when I'm caught 160 00:10:35.120 --> 00:10:39.120 up on the Daily Show, I would go back and listen to old episodes, 161 00:10:39.200 --> 00:10:41.519 which would feel like new episodes as it had been so long since I'd 162 00:10:41.519 --> 00:10:45.759 heard them. The Dave Ryan Show used to have episodes dating back to September 163 00:10:45.759 --> 00:10:48.759 of twenty seventeen. Now when he goes back to October of twenty twenty two, 164 00:10:50.360 --> 00:10:52.399 does it have to do with a new uploading platform mentioned recently? I'm 165 00:10:52.399 --> 00:10:58.600 so bummed. I actually was surprising here only October twenty twenty two. No, 166 00:10:58.879 --> 00:11:01.960 we did do a couple things recently in the last few months that we 167 00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:03.799 use a different system. We still sort of use one of the same systems, 168 00:11:03.840 --> 00:11:09.000 but also use another. But I thought that it still went back to 169 00:11:09.039 --> 00:11:11.159 when we started using this current system, which should have gone back to like 170 00:11:11.919 --> 00:11:16.960 twenty twenty. I believe twenty two seems weird that it only goes back that 171 00:11:18.080 --> 00:11:20.039 far. Yeah, it kind of sucks that they are archives, and I 172 00:11:20.080 --> 00:11:24.919 can definitely ask and try to find out we have so it is very hard 173 00:11:24.960 --> 00:11:30.000 to track down someone who, unfortunately, like can get answers to like podcasting 174 00:11:30.039 --> 00:11:33.320 issues lately, because it used to be all in house and now it's through 175 00:11:33.320 --> 00:11:37.759 like a corporate company, and it's just a little bit hard to get those 176 00:11:37.759 --> 00:11:41.320 answers. But I can definitely see if I can get older episodes further back 177 00:11:41.600 --> 00:11:43.879 back up there. Okay, I mean I get it. That would be 178 00:11:43.919 --> 00:11:46.960 great, and I'm flatter demanded that you want to go back and listen to 179 00:11:46.039 --> 00:11:50.480 those. Jenny, how is your sister? I apologize if you have given 180 00:11:50.519 --> 00:11:52.480 an update in recent weeks, but I missed it. I hope she's doing 181 00:11:52.519 --> 00:11:56.039 well. Thank you for asking. She is doing better. She had a 182 00:11:56.039 --> 00:11:58.399 stroke a couple of months ago. He had a stroke back in June, 183 00:12:00.159 --> 00:12:03.360 only twenty eight for reference, so it was very unexpected for all of us, 184 00:12:03.360 --> 00:12:07.879 and it was pretty bad. She just she couldn't speak, she couldn't 185 00:12:07.080 --> 00:12:11.000 like focus, she was very confused. We didn't understand what was going on. 186 00:12:11.080 --> 00:12:13.759 But yeah, she had a stroke and she I think it's forever going 187 00:12:13.799 --> 00:12:16.759 to be on blood thinners now, that's gonna be just something that's gonna be 188 00:12:16.759 --> 00:12:20.200 part of her life. And she's been going to speech therapy ever since this 189 00:12:20.279 --> 00:12:22.960 happened a couple of months ago. She hasn't been able to drive for three 190 00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:26.360 months. She's still not able to drive, so like she's having a hard 191 00:12:26.440 --> 00:12:31.360 time because she's living at home with my mom right now and she's just struggling 192 00:12:31.600 --> 00:12:35.320 to have a normal life. I guess you could say because when you're limited 193 00:12:35.360 --> 00:12:39.519 to drive, and she lives in my small hometown, it's not like a 194 00:12:39.519 --> 00:12:41.720 walkable city that has a bunch of things you can walk to and stuff. 195 00:12:41.759 --> 00:12:45.399 It's like, you know, there's your hole in the wall bars and your 196 00:12:45.399 --> 00:12:48.679 bowling alley. There's not a whole lot to offer when you can't drive. 197 00:12:48.279 --> 00:12:52.720 So she's working hard at her speech therapy and she's getting back to normal, 198 00:12:52.759 --> 00:12:56.799 and she luckily has already been able to go back to work like very very 199 00:12:56.919 --> 00:13:01.039 part time. But I think it's probably going to be at least like a 200 00:13:01.200 --> 00:13:07.960 year until she's fully back to normal with like her speech and a routine and 201 00:13:07.039 --> 00:13:11.159 stuff like that. So but she is world of a difference than when I 202 00:13:11.200 --> 00:13:16.320 saw her like days after her stroke. It's so scary to think somebody's so 203 00:13:16.360 --> 00:13:20.080 young could have a stroke. Yeah, and no real signals or health problems 204 00:13:20.120 --> 00:13:22.000 before that, No, not at all. She had some neck pain which 205 00:13:22.039 --> 00:13:26.440 is what caused well not what caused the stroke, but she had neck pain 206 00:13:26.559 --> 00:13:28.080 leading up to it. And then we had found she had these block arteries 207 00:13:28.120 --> 00:13:33.039 in her neck, which caused the blood clot in her brain. So there 208 00:13:33.200 --> 00:13:35.960 was like weird signs that you would just think, Oh, I slept funny, 209 00:13:37.159 --> 00:13:39.320 you know, my neck hurts. That was like the sign that we 210 00:13:39.519 --> 00:13:43.600 didn't think meant anything. Yeah, right, you wouldn't. You would think 211 00:13:43.639 --> 00:13:48.360 it's just like a crick in your neck or whatever. I'm a in agreement 212 00:13:48.399 --> 00:13:50.759 with the woman. This is the same person, Amanda. I am in 213 00:13:50.799 --> 00:13:52.000 agreement with the woman who wrote it. In about the sound issues on the 214 00:13:52.000 --> 00:13:56.039 podcast, I can barely hear Jenny on the Minnesota Goodbye. I thought it 215 00:13:56.080 --> 00:13:58.840 was just me. And again, I'm looking at the wave form as we 216 00:13:58.879 --> 00:14:01.480 record this, and we potted up a little bit. It looks like which 217 00:14:01.519 --> 00:14:05.480 is good, but it's still so weak. I mean, you're at about 218 00:14:05.559 --> 00:14:11.639 fifteen percent and I'm at about fifty to sixty percent. And it's not a 219 00:14:11.639 --> 00:14:15.879 matter of you speaking up because loud. I'm just kidding. Even when you 220 00:14:15.919 --> 00:14:18.279 do that, it doesn't go up as loud as mine does. Do me 221 00:14:18.320 --> 00:14:22.159 a favor, Yeah, pop over to Foulon's microphone, just to see if 222 00:14:22.159 --> 00:14:24.639 there's a difference. And I'm going to turn that one on and see whether 223 00:14:24.639 --> 00:14:26.799 there's a difference from email. Then though last week that my voice was louder 224 00:14:26.799 --> 00:14:30.360 and Foulans was quieter, and I was on your mic last week, So 225 00:14:30.480 --> 00:14:33.320 what is it now? It's still quiet, it's it's a little hotter. 226 00:14:33.799 --> 00:14:35.320 Try the one next to you, because there's four microphones in here. We 227 00:14:35.320 --> 00:14:39.039 thought, okay, let's try this well, Mike's okay. Hello, my 228 00:14:39.120 --> 00:14:43.720 name is Jenny. I like kickball and cheese. It's a whole lot better 229 00:14:43.799 --> 00:14:46.679 Jenny on this one. It's seriously, is almost up with mine. Mine's 230 00:14:46.679 --> 00:14:52.159 like fifty percent. Interesting, You're at probably thirty to forty percent, So 231 00:14:52.159 --> 00:14:54.960 so I gotta start using mic number three. Maybe stay on that one, 232 00:14:56.120 --> 00:15:01.399 Okay, all right, then let's continue with the email from A and please 233 00:15:01.480 --> 00:15:03.919 never get rid of Game Day. I love that Wednesday of each month. 234 00:15:03.919 --> 00:15:07.159 We're doing it on Friday this month because we thought it'd be funny to have 235 00:15:07.200 --> 00:15:11.960 some people who listen to the show come in and play games. And here's 236 00:15:11.960 --> 00:15:15.159 an odd topic and I love it. I love the randomness in here we 237 00:15:15.279 --> 00:15:20.320 go. Why must the door to door pest control ass hats who ride on 238 00:15:20.360 --> 00:15:24.679 the electric Mini seguays be so fucking annoying and persistent? They always come at 239 00:15:24.679 --> 00:15:28.960 the worst fucking times. Tonight, I was trying to put our two year 240 00:15:28.960 --> 00:15:31.279 old to bed when after an hour of battling, he was finally sleeping, 241 00:15:31.320 --> 00:15:35.759 and suddenly ding dong past control. Pete is here to ruin your night. 242 00:15:37.039 --> 00:15:39.399 Our dogs go ballistic because who the fuck is ringing a doorbell at eight o'clock 243 00:15:39.440 --> 00:15:43.360 on a twesday? Good point, We don't answer. He stands there a 244 00:15:43.399 --> 00:15:48.000 minute later and it's bang, bang bang knocking on the door. Our son 245 00:15:48.080 --> 00:15:50.360 is awake. At this point, I'm so frustrated to open the window into 246 00:15:50.360 --> 00:15:52.159 my son's room, which faces the front, and I yelled, go away, 247 00:15:52.840 --> 00:15:56.799 I prefer bugs. He looks around, stood there for another minute, 248 00:15:56.840 --> 00:16:00.840 then zipped away to save somebody else's house from ants. God, you're funny, 249 00:16:00.840 --> 00:16:06.039 Amanda. We do not currently have a no soliciting sign, and I 250 00:16:06.120 --> 00:16:08.480 want to get one, but I don't want to discourage the local Scouts, 251 00:16:08.519 --> 00:16:14.600 elementary kids, young athletes, etc. From knocking because I was once all 252 00:16:14.639 --> 00:16:17.159 of those things that went door to door to fund raise. How do I 253 00:16:17.200 --> 00:16:21.200 put a nose and lessening unless you're a young child sign out without sounding like 254 00:16:21.240 --> 00:16:26.000 a weirdo like I get an Amanda, Hey, no soliciting unless you're a 255 00:16:26.120 --> 00:16:29.240 child, that is weird. We got one. I got no shame in 256 00:16:29.279 --> 00:16:32.399 it. We got a nose listening sign on our door and I got no 257 00:16:32.480 --> 00:16:34.799 shame in it. And once in a while I'll see somebody on the ring 258 00:16:34.840 --> 00:16:40.159 cam walk up about to ring the doorbell, then they walk away. Once 259 00:16:40.200 --> 00:16:44.679 in a while they ring the doorbell anyway, and I politely say, you 260 00:16:44.759 --> 00:16:48.080 see the sign there, and they go oh. One time, a couple 261 00:16:48.120 --> 00:16:51.879 of months ago, somebody said I'm not trying to sell anything, and I 262 00:16:51.919 --> 00:16:56.399 said, I really am not interested whatever it is you're doing. I'm really 263 00:16:56.399 --> 00:17:00.120 not interested. Unless I invited you buy, I'm not interested. They were 264 00:17:00.159 --> 00:17:03.519 polite and they left. Any who, thank you for reading answering my late 265 00:17:03.679 --> 00:17:07.279 night burning questions. Congratulations on your award, Dave, you suck I think 266 00:17:07.279 --> 00:17:10.960 they meant you rock, but I'm gonna go ahead and say they suck and 267 00:17:10.960 --> 00:17:15.759 that's funny. Sincerely, p One dartlike listener, Amanda, I think she 268 00:17:15.799 --> 00:17:18.039 didn't mean you suck because of the camping corner with Dave. You know what 269 00:17:18.079 --> 00:17:22.559 I mean. Write that down. We do that bit again, camping corner 270 00:17:22.599 --> 00:17:26.599 because that was funny and people like that. It was so stupid. Yeah, 271 00:17:26.039 --> 00:17:30.200 all right, so we'll do that again. Thank you, Amanda, 272 00:17:30.680 --> 00:17:33.680 and let me know whether you're the Amanda that used to play with Allison when 273 00:17:33.839 --> 00:17:38.559 you were little. Maddie says you said you need emails to tell me what's 274 00:17:38.599 --> 00:17:42.119 the deal between Dave and Tom Bernard. I vaguely recalled Dave mentioning something about 275 00:17:42.119 --> 00:17:45.279 not liking him, but I'm curious to know the specifics. Thanks for your 276 00:17:45.279 --> 00:17:48.160 time and have a fantastic dank. I am not here to pick a fight 277 00:17:48.200 --> 00:17:52.119 with Tom Bernard, but I've always admired Tom Bernard. But he got really 278 00:17:52.160 --> 00:17:56.480 mad at me one time because we were in a contest to see who would 279 00:17:56.480 --> 00:18:03.240 get the most votes for some advertiser and everything was going well, and like 280 00:18:03.279 --> 00:18:07.079 any kind of a contest, you talk a little shit and I tweeted when 281 00:18:07.119 --> 00:18:10.920 Twitter was really popular in mainstream. I said something like, hey, go 282 00:18:10.920 --> 00:18:14.519 ahead and vote for me. Now all of Tom Bernard's listeners are asleep, 283 00:18:14.640 --> 00:18:18.480 meaning his listeners were old men and they'd be asleep right now. Well, 284 00:18:18.559 --> 00:18:22.200 he got pissed and he went after me on the radio the next day, 285 00:18:22.519 --> 00:18:26.319 and I was like, wow, I just thought that was really perplexing because 286 00:18:27.119 --> 00:18:33.920 I had nothing against Tom Bernard, but he decided that that offended him, 287 00:18:33.960 --> 00:18:37.119 and it just again, I'm not going to expand on that because I don't 288 00:18:37.119 --> 00:18:41.000 want to start a battle with Tom Bernard. I got nothing against him, 289 00:18:41.039 --> 00:18:44.599 but I was perplexed as to why somebody I thought would be able to take 290 00:18:44.640 --> 00:18:48.240 some shit was not able to take shit. So we just leave it there 291 00:18:48.920 --> 00:18:55.000 and move on. Dave talking about not being able to sleep, same thing 292 00:18:55.039 --> 00:18:56.119 happened to me. I woke up this morning because I needed to pee. 293 00:18:56.160 --> 00:18:59.640 I usually just tried to hold it till it's time to get up, but 294 00:19:00.000 --> 00:19:03.480 one of our dogs was whining and needed to go outside. So after I 295 00:19:03.599 --> 00:19:07.000 let the dogs out, I could not fall back asleep. It was three 296 00:19:07.119 --> 00:19:11.079 forty five I needed to get up at six. I tried the trick that 297 00:19:11.119 --> 00:19:14.759 you said, falling into a black hole like you mentioned, and counting sheep 298 00:19:14.799 --> 00:19:17.559 like Jenny said, but it didn't work. After over an hour of just 299 00:19:17.799 --> 00:19:22.160 laying in bed with my eyes closed, I finally fell asleep. It's the 300 00:19:22.200 --> 00:19:26.200 worst, especially when you get up early and you wake up in the middle 301 00:19:26.200 --> 00:19:27.000 of the night. I slept pretty good last night. But do you wake 302 00:19:27.079 --> 00:19:32.039 up in the middle of the night and you got a pea? You got 303 00:19:32.079 --> 00:19:36.240 to because my mind turns on and says, well, now, all I 304 00:19:36.279 --> 00:19:37.519 can think about is that I got a pee, So I get up to 305 00:19:37.519 --> 00:19:41.079 pe. You turn the light on. By the time you flush the toilet 306 00:19:41.119 --> 00:19:45.319 come back, you're eighty percent awake. Sometimes you get back to sleep. 307 00:19:45.319 --> 00:19:52.160 A lot of the time you can't. Next one, hoping you might be 308 00:19:52.200 --> 00:19:56.079 able to help with some jest suggestions regarding Yellowstone, Grand Tetons, and Jackson 309 00:19:56.119 --> 00:20:00.000 Whole area. My son eleven, and I are headed to the small town 310 00:20:00.039 --> 00:20:03.839 of Ashton, Idaho, about an hour out of the three places mentioned above. 311 00:20:03.839 --> 00:20:07.000 We're gonna stay with my grandparents and it'll be there Monday through Monday. 312 00:20:07.039 --> 00:20:11.160 I was thinking one day in each place, and we would like to know 313 00:20:11.240 --> 00:20:15.480 your suggestions of the coolest places for him to see as I've been to them 314 00:20:15.519 --> 00:20:18.920 all. Thanks Paige Page. I don't know what to tell you. Jenny's 315 00:20:18.960 --> 00:20:22.599 most recently been there. I have, so I would say in Yellowstone, 316 00:20:23.839 --> 00:20:26.400 I'm gonna be honest, I'm just not a touristy type of person, so 317 00:20:26.480 --> 00:20:30.319 like the Grand Prismatic is not really my thing, but I really like the 318 00:20:30.400 --> 00:20:33.559 natural Stone Bridge that's in Yellowstone and you can hike up to the top, 319 00:20:33.640 --> 00:20:37.000 take a picture on top. It looks much scarier than it is. And 320 00:20:37.000 --> 00:20:40.359 I would say the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone was also my other favorite thing, 321 00:20:40.400 --> 00:20:44.200 and those two are decently close to each other because obviously Yellowstone's super big. 322 00:20:44.720 --> 00:20:48.480 And then in the t tons, I mean I mostly did hikes, but 323 00:20:48.559 --> 00:20:53.720 if you want an easier hike, the Bradley Lake and Taggart Lake hikes are 324 00:20:53.759 --> 00:20:57.240 not too hard. Otherwise, there's a very simpler one that you can do 325 00:20:57.319 --> 00:21:03.079 around Jenny Lake and shut up what it is called it. And then if 326 00:21:03.079 --> 00:21:07.359 you want a very difficult one, there is one where you have to go 327 00:21:07.519 --> 00:21:11.039 off the hiking trail to Delta Lake and it's not you're not going to find 328 00:21:11.079 --> 00:21:14.000 it on your all trails. You have to do some research to find that 329 00:21:14.000 --> 00:21:18.200 one, because you go through a boulder really like a boulder hill, and 330 00:21:18.279 --> 00:21:22.599 that one's definitely more of your like higher expert level kind of hike. It's 331 00:21:22.640 --> 00:21:26.240 not an easy one. But Delta Lake is beautiful. It's just like the 332 00:21:26.279 --> 00:21:30.720 t towns are surrounded and then it's this beautiful blue lake in the middle of 333 00:21:30.759 --> 00:21:33.880 the tea towns, like five thousand feet up. That is so cool. 334 00:21:34.079 --> 00:21:37.200 I have not done anything like that in a long time. We went to 335 00:21:37.279 --> 00:21:40.559 Yellowstone, you know, several times like everybody else, and we love the 336 00:21:40.599 --> 00:21:44.680 touristy stuff. We loved Mammoth Hot Springs. We thought that was really cool. 337 00:21:45.319 --> 00:21:49.119 We loved Old Faithful, We love the Old Faithful Lodge. And I 338 00:21:49.200 --> 00:21:52.599 don't remember, honestly, a whole lot more. There used to be a 339 00:21:52.599 --> 00:21:56.880 waterfall called Tower Falls. And when I was a little kid, I went 340 00:21:56.920 --> 00:22:00.839 there and there was a giant boulder like if you may, if you like, 341 00:22:00.960 --> 00:22:03.640 made a big hugging motion with your arms. It was about that big, 342 00:22:03.640 --> 00:22:07.400 a huge boulder at the top of Tower Falls. And I saw a 343 00:22:07.440 --> 00:22:08.799 picture of it not too long ago, and look at it really quick here 344 00:22:10.119 --> 00:22:15.799 and make sure it's the same one. Tower Falls, yellow Stone and the 345 00:22:15.799 --> 00:22:18.559 boulder is gone now. And it's really interesting because when I was a kid, 346 00:22:19.200 --> 00:22:22.480 they people used to ask park rangers all the time, when will the 347 00:22:22.519 --> 00:22:27.400 boulder at Tower Falls fall? And they said it could be ten thousand years. 348 00:22:27.640 --> 00:22:33.200 Yeah, But one morning they woke up and the park rangers looked up 349 00:22:33.200 --> 00:22:37.680 and the boulder had fallen from Tower Falls. And I just thought that was 350 00:22:37.720 --> 00:22:41.480 amazing that it sat there for you know, hundreds or thousands of years and 351 00:22:41.519 --> 00:22:45.880 it had fallen away. So I like the touristy stuff. Jenny is not 352 00:22:45.960 --> 00:22:48.279 so much. But other than that, we don't have a whole life for 353 00:22:48.319 --> 00:22:52.759 you, and we've gone way over our time, but we had funs. 354 00:22:52.880 --> 00:22:57.400 So send your emails to Ryan Show at KTWB dot com and we will see 355 00:22:57.440 --> 00:23:00.279 you tomorrow on the Minnesota. Good Bye.
