1
00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:04.960
Minnesota goodbye, and let's get started
with an email from Chris in Northfield.

2
00:00:05.440 --> 00:00:10.480
Chris says, hello, fellow Dart
liquors, listen every day from six point

3
00:00:10.480 --> 00:00:13.519
thirty to ten religiously, and then
go to the Minnesota goodbye right after.

4
00:00:13.560 --> 00:00:16.920
And I was thinking, is there
someone in the building twenty four to seven

5
00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:20.559
running the board or is there a
preset show for the night hours? Does

6
00:00:20.559 --> 00:00:24.719
someone have to be live working at
three am? Would love a staff writer

7
00:00:24.839 --> 00:00:29.399
sticker to add my garge. Oh
I thought it said garbage garage fridge.

8
00:00:29.440 --> 00:00:32.880
If I make the cut, Chris, you got it. PS keep Naughty

9
00:00:32.920 --> 00:00:38.920
Tuesday going, even after the disgusting
Naughty Tuesday that we had earlier this week.

10
00:00:39.920 --> 00:00:41.920
Jenny, do you want to answer
that one? Yeah. So we

11
00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:46.280
did use to have somebody called a
boardop who kind of just monitored all the

12
00:00:46.359 --> 00:00:52.759
radio stations. But we have such
good technology now that it's very unlikely that

13
00:00:52.799 --> 00:00:55.920
anything is going to happen that it
won't just automatically run on its own.

14
00:00:56.039 --> 00:00:59.719
Every once in a while, something
weird goes wrong and dead air happens,

15
00:00:59.719 --> 00:01:03.479
and it'll just start going on its
own somehow. But we do not have

16
00:01:03.520 --> 00:01:07.400
anyone overnight anymore. But we used
to. Isn't there somebody in the building

17
00:01:07.480 --> 00:01:11.760
though, if something crashes that somebody
know? No, really, I mean

18
00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:15.840
it's so I didn't know that.
To be fair, like Vaunt his show

19
00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:21.040
goes to eleven PM. A lot
of morning show people like ky fans are

20
00:01:21.040 --> 00:01:23.799
as much earlier than we do,
and so they're in a little bit earlier.

21
00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:26.719
So there's probably only a few hours
of time that are unaccounted for of

22
00:01:26.760 --> 00:01:30.640
nobody in the building. But no, we used to have board ops that

23
00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:33.920
were here probably from like midnight to
five am every day, and we don't

24
00:01:33.920 --> 00:01:37.079
have those people anymore. So board
op is short for board operator. Yes,

25
00:01:37.159 --> 00:01:40.400
okay, so the board is what
we call our console, but it's

26
00:01:40.760 --> 00:01:44.079
called the board. But I used
to I until right now, I thought

27
00:01:44.159 --> 00:01:47.920
there was somebody, one person in
the building all the time in case one

28
00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:51.560
studio crashes, they can run in
and fix it. No, No,

29
00:01:51.680 --> 00:01:55.599
when did that change? I want
to say it was probably during COVID when

30
00:01:55.719 --> 00:01:59.680
no, shit, are you serious? Lots of layoffs happened, and so

31
00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:02.920
it's just one more thing. That's
why when we have when we want to

32
00:02:02.959 --> 00:02:07.120
like do something fun where we maybe
want to be on location for somewhere.

33
00:02:07.400 --> 00:02:10.000
We don't have these people called board
ops anymore to help us back at the

34
00:02:10.120 --> 00:02:14.000
radio station so that all three of
us can be on location. We just

35
00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:17.240
don't really have those people anymore in
the building. Okay, well, I'll

36
00:02:17.240 --> 00:02:20.759
take you back even further. So
the reason, you know, the all

37
00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:23.319
night show they figured out years ago
with computers, and computers made it easy

38
00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:28.159
to broadcast all night without it without
a live DJ. And they do a

39
00:02:28.159 --> 00:02:31.479
thing called voice tracking where Drake it
seems like Drake is on live at the

40
00:02:31.479 --> 00:02:34.560
middle in the middle of the night. He's not. He records it the

41
00:02:34.639 --> 00:02:38.280
day before, but it sounds close
enough to a live DJ that you know,

42
00:02:38.280 --> 00:02:39.840
people are satisfied and they don't know, and some people they know and

43
00:02:39.879 --> 00:02:44.599
they don't even care. Like I
listen sometimes to Sirius X him and I

44
00:02:44.680 --> 00:02:46.800
know they're not live. They record
that stuff two or three days in advance.

45
00:02:47.120 --> 00:02:50.439
And I'll listen to like, you
know, the eighties channel or whatever,

46
00:02:50.479 --> 00:02:52.759
the nineties channel, and it's like, I know they're not live,

47
00:02:52.759 --> 00:02:55.199
but it's still comforting to hear another
human voice. Yeah, but I really

48
00:02:57.360 --> 00:03:00.719
miss the joy or the feeling of
like I'd come in in the morning and

49
00:03:00.759 --> 00:03:07.360
there would be kind of a sleepy
overnight DJ that had been working since midnight

50
00:03:07.439 --> 00:03:10.479
or two in the morning that I
would take over for. But with computers

51
00:03:10.520 --> 00:03:15.400
starting ten ish years ago, there's
no need for me. Yeah, there

52
00:03:15.439 --> 00:03:22.039
isn't so but we are still live. We absolutely We never record anything on

53
00:03:22.080 --> 00:03:23.919
our show unless it's a best of
bit. So if we do something really

54
00:03:23.960 --> 00:03:28.039
funny and we go, oh,
let's replay that, then it won't be

55
00:03:28.120 --> 00:03:30.479
live. But then I think people
kind of expect that that's okay. Next

56
00:03:30.520 --> 00:03:35.199
one, we were talking about Jacqueline. So Jacqueline continues to be a theme

57
00:03:35.240 --> 00:03:37.840
of the show, and it really
hit a lot of people in their heart

58
00:03:37.960 --> 00:03:40.199
because yesterday, in the day before, we talked to Jacqueline, who's thirty

59
00:03:40.199 --> 00:03:44.000
four and lonely on the holidays,
want to know what she should do.

60
00:03:44.520 --> 00:03:46.400
I talked to a co worker yesterday. She said, Jacqueline is just like

61
00:03:46.439 --> 00:03:51.479
me. I'm not married, I've
got no kids, i don't get along

62
00:03:51.479 --> 00:03:54.360
with my siblings. I'm going to
spend Thanksgiving alone and I don't really like

63
00:03:54.439 --> 00:03:58.800
it. And she's like that really
hit me in the heart yesterday hearing that

64
00:03:58.879 --> 00:04:01.240
story. Emily says, I wanted
to write in and say that. I

65
00:04:01.319 --> 00:04:05.560
suggest Jacqueline to remove social media from
her phone for the week before the holidays

66
00:04:05.599 --> 00:04:11.479
and maybe the week after. There's
plenty of days she probably spends alone,

67
00:04:11.639 --> 00:04:15.319
myself included. I'm thirty years old, single, no kids, But I

68
00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:18.800
think what could be part of the
angst of the day is not actually spending

69
00:04:18.839 --> 00:04:24.839
time with herself, but seeing post
from everybody's happy gatherings. It could be

70
00:04:24.920 --> 00:04:29.040
detrimental and add to the FOMO.
Just an idea, remove social media for

71
00:04:29.120 --> 00:04:30.800
days before and after the holidays,
protect your peace of mind. Okay,

72
00:04:30.959 --> 00:04:35.199
not a bad suggestion. I personally
took up a retail job on weekends and

73
00:04:35.240 --> 00:04:39.800
holidays. Although I don't need the
extra money to survive, it's become my

74
00:04:39.879 --> 00:04:43.920
social life and the extra money doesn't
hurt either. Plus, when I work

75
00:04:43.920 --> 00:04:46.680
on holidays like Thanksgiving, I get
time and a half, so I get

76
00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:48.519
it. That's your social life.
It's kind of like this is my social

77
00:04:48.519 --> 00:04:53.360
life here at the radio station.
Jenny and Drake and the few other people

78
00:04:53.399 --> 00:04:56.279
that I see. You're kind of
a lot of my social life. Yeah.

79
00:04:56.319 --> 00:04:59.519
Sadly to say, if I was
Jacqueline, I'd find a craft to

80
00:04:59.519 --> 00:05:01.680
do. Like I'm a Dodger paint
by number, pick a recipe to bake

81
00:05:01.720 --> 00:05:04.879
and maybe bring your cookies to a
neighbor and cook yourself a simple meal,

82
00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:08.720
take a bath, clean your house, go for a walk at a state

83
00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:12.439
park, enjoy the day to yourself, and don't think about what everyone else

84
00:05:12.519 --> 00:05:15.439
is doing. Emily some good advice. Yeah, it is all right.

85
00:05:15.959 --> 00:05:20.120
Next email about circumcision. I was
born in the late seventies. A doctor

86
00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:24.360
did a circumcision on me without my
parents can sit. I am the only

87
00:05:24.399 --> 00:05:27.360
boy in my family who has it
done. My parents were against it and

88
00:05:27.399 --> 00:05:30.040
it was hard for them to deal
with as they never took care of a

89
00:05:30.079 --> 00:05:32.439
baby boy who was circumcised. When
I had my son, I chose not

90
00:05:32.519 --> 00:05:35.319
to get him circumcised as I didn't
want other people in the family to have

91
00:05:35.319 --> 00:05:39.279
to deal with it as they have
no experience on how to take care of

92
00:05:39.279 --> 00:05:42.399
it, etc. If they ended
up watching them. I have another son

93
00:05:42.480 --> 00:05:46.720
and I would not choose to do
it. Also, well, I think

94
00:05:46.879 --> 00:05:49.680
when you get a baby circumcised,
there is a after care kind of a

95
00:05:49.800 --> 00:05:55.920
ritual where it's like probably cleaning and
putting on neosporin or whatever. But I

96
00:05:55.959 --> 00:06:01.000
think there's more care for an uncircumcised
penis with cleaning, and I don't know

97
00:06:01.079 --> 00:06:03.360
all the things that you get to
do. Yeah, I think you gotta,

98
00:06:03.439 --> 00:06:05.439
like, you know, take a
toothbrush to it once in a while,

99
00:06:05.920 --> 00:06:11.439
you do. I made that up. Can you imagine definitely something I

100
00:06:11.439 --> 00:06:15.480
have zero, absolutely knowledgius, so
I have no idea. I understand.

101
00:06:16.720 --> 00:06:21.680
Okay, Next one as always,
thank you for what you do. You

102
00:06:21.800 --> 00:06:25.639
really do bring joy to the folks
who listen to your show. Thank you,

103
00:06:25.639 --> 00:06:29.439
you bring us joy too. Seriously, random thought number one, and

104
00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:31.920
Bailey does great filling in. I
remember when Fallon went on maternity leave,

105
00:06:32.439 --> 00:06:36.399
everybody was worried the show wouldn't be
any good until she came back. Dave

106
00:06:36.439 --> 00:06:40.040
made a comment along the lines of, this is my show. I've been

107
00:06:40.040 --> 00:06:43.439
doing it for a long time.
The show will be fine. I've always

108
00:06:43.480 --> 00:06:46.839
got a plan. He did have
a plan. Lena was back and was

109
00:06:46.920 --> 00:06:50.319
awesome, just like Bailey covering for
a few days where Jenny. It's awesome.

110
00:06:50.519 --> 00:06:54.879
Although I really wouldn't mind David Drake
being two bros on the radio without

111
00:06:54.879 --> 00:06:58.000
a female voice. You're both very
talented. Of course, I missed Jenny

112
00:06:58.040 --> 00:07:02.600
when she's out. I don't all
always succeed, but I always have a

113
00:07:02.639 --> 00:07:08.120
plan. I never walk in here
going, well, let's see what happens.

114
00:07:08.120 --> 00:07:12.240
I mean, we joke about that. But anytime, like when Fallon

115
00:07:12.279 --> 00:07:15.720
went on maternity leave, I knew
what to do. I remember when Steve

116
00:07:15.800 --> 00:07:17.600
left the show. He didn't leave
by choice. He got laid off about

117
00:07:17.600 --> 00:07:20.920
two ish years ago, and it
came out of the blue because the company

118
00:07:20.920 --> 00:07:24.639
did layoffs and they had to find
salaries to cut. They said, well

119
00:07:25.040 --> 00:07:30.000
Steve by and people freaked out,
and I said, I know what to

120
00:07:30.040 --> 00:07:33.360
do. You keep going. You
don't throw your hands up and go,

121
00:07:33.480 --> 00:07:38.279
oh my god, it's never going
to be the same. You keep going.

122
00:07:39.000 --> 00:07:41.079
You know, when Fallon left the
show, it's a good thing,

123
00:07:41.199 --> 00:07:43.639
but we didn't throw our hands up
and go, oh my god, what

124
00:07:43.720 --> 00:07:46.360
do we do? And I'll be
honest with you, it's different. But

125
00:07:46.480 --> 00:07:49.240
I don't feel like we've missed a
beat. We still have a lot of

126
00:07:49.279 --> 00:07:55.839
fun. We still get people calling
and texting and showing up at Boo Bash

127
00:07:55.959 --> 00:07:59.120
and showing up for the coat drive. And sure there are going to be

128
00:07:59.120 --> 00:08:01.759
a few people who say I don't
like it without Fallin, but that's been

129
00:08:01.920 --> 00:08:07.120
very minimal to be honest. So
you know, we all I always know

130
00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:09.879
what to do. And that's not
patting myself on the back. It's like

131
00:08:09.800 --> 00:08:13.240
I believe in myself, you know
what I mean, There's one thing that

132
00:08:13.279 --> 00:08:16.160
I know how to do well.
I can't dance, I can't sing,

133
00:08:16.480 --> 00:08:18.439
I can't build furniture. I can't
do any of that shit. If you

134
00:08:18.439 --> 00:08:22.399
had me to build a bird house, the birds would never move into it,

135
00:08:22.439 --> 00:08:24.720
Jenny, because I can't build shit. But this is the one thing

136
00:08:24.720 --> 00:08:28.079
that I know how to do well. So and I mean, I have

137
00:08:28.199 --> 00:08:33.759
been one of the very few lucky
radio people who started radio here and am

138
00:08:33.799 --> 00:08:35.320
still here. A lot of radio
people move around a lot, so I

139
00:08:35.320 --> 00:08:39.720
don't have a lot of experience working
with like the bad side of radio where

140
00:08:39.720 --> 00:08:43.120
there's lazy people or whatever. So
I don't have anything to compare you to.

141
00:08:43.759 --> 00:08:48.039
But I do know that, like
Dave works so hard on this show

142
00:08:48.120 --> 00:08:52.320
every single day, Like there is
never a day Like there's days where we

143
00:08:52.519 --> 00:08:56.720
are trying to plan something and we
just can't come up with anything, but

144
00:08:56.759 --> 00:08:58.120
we don't give up in that moment. We're just like, all right,

145
00:08:58.159 --> 00:09:01.480
we got to keep thinking, Like
this idea wasn't good enough. So like

146
00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:05.919
Dave will never just sit and be
like, Okay, I don't know,

147
00:09:05.960 --> 00:09:09.600
I'm kind of done for the day, good enough. It's never ever like

148
00:09:09.679 --> 00:09:13.440
that. He's just constantly coming up
with new ideas. We don't understand how

149
00:09:13.480 --> 00:09:18.080
his brain works because the creativity inside
of it is just out of this world.

150
00:09:18.519 --> 00:09:22.240
Fallon said, it looks like the
inside of a toilet, like you've

151
00:09:22.320 --> 00:09:24.080
like flushed a toilet and you swirl
it's also and she's like, you know,

152
00:09:24.159 --> 00:09:26.960
it was spray shit. Spray shit, That's what it was. Yes,

153
00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:30.000
She's like, if you lift it
up the top of your head and

154
00:09:30.039 --> 00:09:31.639
looked in your brain, it looked
like somebody spray shit in a toilet.

155
00:09:33.080 --> 00:09:39.080
And God, I missfallied sometimes anyway. Random thought number two. I grew

156
00:09:39.200 --> 00:09:43.679
up in a middle class home in
Minnesota. We never got anything we want.

157
00:09:43.799 --> 00:09:48.159
We never got everything we wanted,
but we never definitely never went without

158
00:09:48.200 --> 00:09:54.559
anything. I'm thirty years old.
We shared bathwater with my mom, oh

159
00:09:54.639 --> 00:09:56.960
as I did. I remember not
liking it as a kid, but we

160
00:09:58.000 --> 00:10:00.879
didn't really have a choice. My
mom would bathe, bathe, save the

161
00:10:00.919 --> 00:10:03.720
water, my sister would use the
water. Then I'd get in yuck.

162
00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:07.440
I remember always yelling to my mom
from the bathtub before I was done,

163
00:10:07.679 --> 00:10:11.840
do you want me to save the
water, and she would say not unless

164
00:10:11.840 --> 00:10:16.399
you want the dog to bathe in
it, drain it. The joke between

165
00:10:16.440 --> 00:10:18.240
my sister and I is now that
my mom would shave her legs in the

166
00:10:18.279 --> 00:10:24.600
water and we get in all the
dead skin and hair yuck. I'm surprised

167
00:10:24.720 --> 00:10:28.159
not many other people have admitted to
this. I totally thought everyone shared bathwater

168
00:10:28.240 --> 00:10:35.000
until I was probably about thirteen fourteen. I don't get what the point is.

169
00:10:35.440 --> 00:10:39.080
I think, if anything, bathwater
is warm water and it needs to

170
00:10:39.080 --> 00:10:46.799
be heated. So you're saving one
quarter of one hundredth of a cent to

171
00:10:46.039 --> 00:10:50.960
heat another tub of bathwater, even
if it costs a nickel to heat up

172
00:10:52.000 --> 00:10:54.799
another tub of bathwater. Fucking do
it. I don't know what my mom

173
00:10:54.799 --> 00:11:00.399
and dad were trying to save back
then. It must have been gas asked

174
00:11:00.399 --> 00:11:03.320
to heat the water. Yeah,
I can't imagine what else it would be.

175
00:11:03.679 --> 00:11:07.600
We didn't do that, but we
did have the rule that like,

176
00:11:07.799 --> 00:11:11.720
unless you poop, you don't need
a flush to toilet, like it's like

177
00:11:11.799 --> 00:11:15.639
the whole like if it's yellow,
lud it mellow. Yeah, yep.

178
00:11:15.759 --> 00:11:18.120
So we had that rule because that
was like supposed to save us water.

179
00:11:18.240 --> 00:11:20.799
In the end, how much water
does it save? I have no idea

180
00:11:22.519 --> 00:11:24.559
right exactly. I mean, really
is it worth it? Because when you

181
00:11:24.600 --> 00:11:28.399
think about it, when you're a
kid, you get into mom's dirty bathwater.

182
00:11:28.679 --> 00:11:31.080
You would never get into your mom's
dirty bathwater as an adult, and

183
00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:35.240
she wouldn't get into yours. That's
gross. That's my mom always went first.

184
00:11:35.320 --> 00:11:39.759
But happy Thanksgiving. She goes on
to say, dark dart lick lick.

185
00:11:39.919 --> 00:11:43.960
You got to change up the rhythm
sometimes or it gets boring. Wink

186
00:11:43.000 --> 00:11:46.120
wink, So instead of dart lick
dart lick, it's dark dart lick lick.

187
00:11:46.759 --> 00:11:50.799
I get it, and I'm a
supporter. I'd love a sticker if

188
00:11:50.840 --> 00:11:52.399
you got any. Also, here
is my address. Thank you, Courtney

189
00:11:52.480 --> 00:11:58.200
in Saint Cloud, Courtney, Excellent, Minnesota. Goodbye staff writer, thank

190
00:11:58.240 --> 00:12:01.639
you. Let's move down to this
one. Jenny in the morning, Zoo,

191
00:12:01.840 --> 00:12:05.039
what up? You're the best?
I want to start by saying I

192
00:12:05.120 --> 00:12:07.000
received two stickers, so I'm good. I'm the mom of three girls two

193
00:12:07.039 --> 00:12:11.320
or teens. Topic. What is
a lesson you didn't learn or understand until

194
00:12:11.360 --> 00:12:16.039
you were a parent. I spilled
my cup of milk every time we sat

195
00:12:16.080 --> 00:12:20.559
down. I always said I didn't
try to. His response was, but

196
00:12:20.679 --> 00:12:24.960
you didn't try not to. I
never understood it until I said it to

197
00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:30.799
my kiddos. Makes perfect sense now, I didn't try to spill my milk,

198
00:12:31.320 --> 00:12:35.360
but the response is, well,
you didn't try not to. I

199
00:12:35.399 --> 00:12:39.039
get what you're saying. Dart lick
and say my name that is Stacy.

200
00:12:39.120 --> 00:12:43.159
Thank you, Stacy. I have
a story for you. I'm not a

201
00:12:43.200 --> 00:12:46.840
parent yet, so I don't know
that I have anything I can bring to

202
00:12:46.879 --> 00:12:50.120
that. I don't really what's a
lesson I learned until that? I didn't

203
00:12:50.159 --> 00:12:56.440
learn until no, honestly, except
probably don't make your kids eat shit that

204
00:12:56.480 --> 00:13:00.159
they don't want to eat. My
mom and dad used to make live for

205
00:13:00.919 --> 00:13:03.320
once or twice a year, and
I was forced to eat it. It

206
00:13:03.440 --> 00:13:07.639
was miserable, it was horrible.
I did not learn anything or gain anything

207
00:13:07.679 --> 00:13:11.559
by eating liver, and there is
no point in me eating liver. I've

208
00:13:11.679 --> 00:13:15.799
never made my kids eat I've made
them I'm not made, but I've strongly

209
00:13:15.919 --> 00:13:18.480
urged them to try things. But
I'd never be like, hey, guys,

210
00:13:18.519 --> 00:13:22.519
here's the part of a cow that
strains its blood. It tastes like

211
00:13:22.679 --> 00:13:26.120
iron and it's fucking gross. Go
ahead and eat this because your dad insists.

212
00:13:26.200 --> 00:13:30.960
I would never do that. Yeah, my mom did a split piece

213
00:13:30.960 --> 00:13:33.360
soup that was the most disgusting thing
growing up that I could not eat,

214
00:13:33.440 --> 00:13:37.639
and it was Yeah, it was
a rule in our house. Whatever was

215
00:13:37.679 --> 00:13:39.159
made and on your plate, you
eat it, or in your bowl,

216
00:13:39.200 --> 00:13:43.519
whatever it is, you eat it. And I see like the other side

217
00:13:43.559 --> 00:13:48.759
of things with parents nowadays who like
just let their kids eat whatever they want,

218
00:13:48.799 --> 00:13:52.360
and then that builds really unhealthy habits
because if your kid only likes sugar

219
00:13:52.559 --> 00:13:56.399
and they have literally no vegetables in
their system, that is only going to

220
00:13:56.600 --> 00:13:58.639
affect them later in life. So
I don't think you just like, let

221
00:13:58.679 --> 00:14:01.879
your kid kids eat whatever you want, but don't force them to eat nasty

222
00:14:01.919 --> 00:14:07.480
shit like split pea soup. I
would make them try the split peace soup,

223
00:14:07.519 --> 00:14:09.879
and that actually sounds good. I
like split pea soup. It looks

224
00:14:09.919 --> 00:14:13.679
like vomit, that was what it
was, and the texture was so yeah

225
00:14:13.759 --> 00:14:16.159
to me, So like, was
the flavor really that bad? Probably not.

226
00:14:16.320 --> 00:14:20.279
But I also hated vegetables growing up. So Timmy, it probably was

227
00:14:20.320 --> 00:14:22.279
really bad, but no, I
think it was more like the color of

228
00:14:22.279 --> 00:14:26.399
the texture, the look of it
that really got in my head. I

229
00:14:26.399 --> 00:14:30.679
can see that, yeah for sure. Uh, let's see what else we

230
00:14:30.799 --> 00:14:35.799
got here. I'm still looking Okay. Here we go super random, but

231
00:14:35.879 --> 00:14:39.879
could make for good content. Looking
through some home videos last night, noticed

232
00:14:39.879 --> 00:14:43.840
something interesting about myself. I was
inquired and show choir did all the things,

233
00:14:43.200 --> 00:14:48.320
perform solos and duets at are school's
programs. I noticed that I was

234
00:14:48.360 --> 00:14:50.480
so insure of myself and intimidated by
the crowd for so many of the early

235
00:14:50.519 --> 00:14:54.720
performances. I was concerned about making
my parents proud and scared of being criticized

236
00:14:54.799 --> 00:14:58.080
or made fun up. My hair
was pulled in front of my shoulders and

237
00:14:58.159 --> 00:15:01.639
used as sort of a sh to
hide myself. My head was face down.

238
00:15:01.720 --> 00:15:05.960
You could see the uncertainty. Then
my junior year in high school,

239
00:15:05.279 --> 00:15:09.600
you can physically see a change.
I was confident and proud. I was

240
00:15:09.679 --> 00:15:11.879
no longer worried about the thoughts of
others. I enjoyed singing and dancing on

241
00:15:11.919 --> 00:15:15.720
stage, and I owned it.
My hair was pulled back, my head

242
00:15:15.759 --> 00:15:18.559
was high, and I did it
all for me, Who cares if my

243
00:15:18.600 --> 00:15:22.840
parents were proud? Who cares if
people didn't like it? After watching these

244
00:15:22.879 --> 00:15:26.279
performances, I reflected on my adult
life and realized that so many times I've

245
00:15:26.320 --> 00:15:31.360
reverted back to the insecure young girl
that I was. But I want to

246
00:15:31.399 --> 00:15:33.639
be that brave, proud, confident
woman. I saw those last performances,

247
00:15:33.879 --> 00:15:37.360
and I'll try harder to be more
of that person. I'm curious if anybody

248
00:15:37.399 --> 00:15:45.279
else has similar stories. I would
say, not that comes to mind.

249
00:15:46.200 --> 00:15:48.960
But you got to own it.
I guess if you're going to do something,

250
00:15:48.960 --> 00:15:52.080
you got to own it. Like
I'll tell people, like I'll take

251
00:15:52.080 --> 00:15:56.080
a picture of them after I take
somebody flying. I took a guy named

252
00:15:56.080 --> 00:16:00.399
Brett flying the other day and I
said, okay, Brett, you're gonna

253
00:16:00.399 --> 00:16:03.120
picture of you with the airplane.
And I always tell people you put your

254
00:16:03.159 --> 00:16:07.480
elbow up and you lean on the
hood of that airplane like you own that

255
00:16:07.600 --> 00:16:11.519
bitch. Because you don't stand there
by the airplane and look like you know

256
00:16:11.720 --> 00:16:14.840
the airplane is all powerful and you're
lucky to be standing next to it.

257
00:16:14.960 --> 00:16:17.679
You put your elbow up on that
motherfucker like you own that son of a

258
00:16:17.720 --> 00:16:21.720
bitch. Yeah, and now you
look like you own that airplane. So

259
00:16:21.799 --> 00:16:26.039
I think of just own it because
I think confidence, even if there's not

260
00:16:26.120 --> 00:16:30.120
a lot of competence, is really
impressive, you know what I mean.

261
00:16:30.240 --> 00:16:32.519
Would you ever want to go to
a surgeon who's going to go over your

262
00:16:32.559 --> 00:16:36.159
new breast implant surgery or your appendectomy
and they're like, well, you know

263
00:16:36.200 --> 00:16:40.360
what I think? Huh not sure, but I think we'll probably numb you.

264
00:16:40.559 --> 00:16:42.320
Uh yeah, we'll give you a
general Nah, We're gonna give you

265
00:16:42.360 --> 00:16:45.919
a local. And you're like,
what the fuck? He No, you

266
00:16:45.960 --> 00:16:48.840
want a surgeon who's gonna be like
yeah, So here's what we're gonna do.

267
00:16:48.879 --> 00:16:49.879
You're gonna get here on time,
get here about twenty minutes early because

268
00:16:49.879 --> 00:16:52.960
you're gona got bla blah blah blah
blah. And we're gonna do this in

269
00:16:52.039 --> 00:16:55.480
general anesthesia. You'd be out for
about fifteen or twenty minutes. You'll have

270
00:16:55.519 --> 00:16:56.919
some pain at the NSTHESI blah blah
blah blah. That's what you want.

271
00:16:57.039 --> 00:17:00.960
Yeah, absolutely, Oh yeah,
thank you, Ranita. And I'm going

272
00:17:02.000 --> 00:17:06.519
to take a picture of your address
to send you a sticker. Let's see

273
00:17:06.559 --> 00:17:07.359
what time. How are we doing
for time, Joe, we just got

274
00:17:07.400 --> 00:17:11.559
a few minutes here. Okay,
I'm hitting the lead on that one.

275
00:17:11.400 --> 00:17:15.960
Let's see. Uh Okay, I
like this one a lot. This is

276
00:17:15.000 --> 00:17:19.839
from Teresa in Rogers, Minnesota.
She says, love the show. I'm

277
00:17:19.960 --> 00:17:22.799
thrilled to tell you the story.
My son's in college came home for the

278
00:17:22.839 --> 00:17:26.279
weekend recently. He had plans with
his high school buddies on Saturday night.

279
00:17:26.359 --> 00:17:30.680
The plan was to play a drinking
game. One of the games was going

280
00:17:30.759 --> 00:17:33.200
to be a joke game where everybody
was supposed to come prepared with jokes.

281
00:17:33.640 --> 00:17:36.920
When it was your turn, you
tell a joke, and the others were

282
00:17:37.440 --> 00:17:40.039
would try not to laugh. If
you laughed out loud, you had to

283
00:17:40.119 --> 00:17:42.319
drink. Sounds fun to me.
We had taken my son out to dinner

284
00:17:42.680 --> 00:17:47.880
before he was heading downtown for the
night, and we were googling jokes together

285
00:17:48.039 --> 00:17:49.319
and coming up with all sorts of
good ones and having a great time.

286
00:17:49.640 --> 00:17:53.319
Most were highly inappropriate, which we
thought would get the most laughs in this

287
00:17:53.480 --> 00:17:59.240
college dude setting. I told him
to keep the Wail joke in mind.

288
00:18:00.039 --> 00:18:03.200
Course, rolls his eyes and moves
on. After dinner, he went on

289
00:18:03.279 --> 00:18:04.759
his way with his friends. He
came home the next morning, I asked

290
00:18:04.839 --> 00:18:08.359
him how joke night went. He
couldn't stop laughing. He explained to me

291
00:18:08.519 --> 00:18:14.640
that all the jokes he researched and
delivered got zero response. He was getting

292
00:18:14.680 --> 00:18:18.920
desperate, so he moved on to
the whale joke. And guess what everyone

293
00:18:18.000 --> 00:18:22.720
else had to drink because everyone laughed. Lol. That made my day.

294
00:18:22.799 --> 00:18:25.519
Had to share it with you.
I love that stupid joke. Staff writer

295
00:18:25.720 --> 00:18:29.640
Teresa in Rogers. I love that, and I love that I got it

296
00:18:29.720 --> 00:18:33.359
from a boy Scout camp. Yeah, and it's so family friendly and it's

297
00:18:33.440 --> 00:18:37.920
so stupid and memorable. I've heard
a million jokes in my life and I

298
00:18:38.000 --> 00:18:44.000
can't remember any of them, but
