Minnesota, Goodbye for Friday. Jenny's
wearing Fusha. That is apparently your color,

2
00:00:05.120 --> 00:00:08.880
because I think that is probably the
best color. That You're an attractive

3
00:00:08.880 --> 00:00:11.119
person, So you're one of those
people that you can pull off anything.

4
00:00:11.400 --> 00:00:15.480
You can wear mauv tan blue,
light blue, navy blue, but that

5
00:00:15.679 --> 00:00:18.280
is a good color on you.
I definitely can't pull off anything because I

6
00:00:18.320 --> 00:00:22.079
have more of that, like fair
skin, pinkish tone to my skin,

7
00:00:22.280 --> 00:00:26.960
so like mav not my color,
those like lighter colors like that. But

8
00:00:27.440 --> 00:00:29.679
I do love this one. I
saw it at Target like a year ago,

9
00:00:29.719 --> 00:00:31.440
and I was like, that is
for me. I must buy it,

10
00:00:31.480 --> 00:00:34.439
and I did. I like it. You know, it's funny because

11
00:00:34.840 --> 00:00:38.600
you ever go to the sunglasses store
sunglass Hut and you try and sunglasses and

12
00:00:38.640 --> 00:00:41.280
some of them you look stupid in
yep, and your friend will be honest

13
00:00:41.280 --> 00:00:45.520
and go nope, not nope.
Oh okay, there's one. I dated

14
00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:48.600
a girl briefly who was way out
of my league when I was twenty one

15
00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:52.119
years old. She was a flight
attendant and she was way out of my

16
00:00:52.240 --> 00:00:56.880
league, and she we went to
the like I don't know, some sunglasses

17
00:00:56.920 --> 00:01:02.079
store, the sunglasses rack in the
mall or whatever, and everyone she tried

18
00:01:02.119 --> 00:01:04.280
on she looked great because she was
beautiful. Yeah, and it was like,

19
00:01:04.319 --> 00:01:10.000
beautiful people can pull off anything.
But I think I might disagree with

20
00:01:10.040 --> 00:01:12.280
that. I think some people do
look silly in certain sunglasses because I think

21
00:01:12.319 --> 00:01:15.879
it has to do with your face
shape. Yeah, probably, so I

22
00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:19.719
look awful in like kind of smaller, skinnier ones, which has been like

23
00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:22.560
coming back in the last couple of
years, and that's just not my thing.

24
00:01:22.599 --> 00:01:25.680
I can't do that. All right, Well, let's move on to

25
00:01:25.719 --> 00:01:29.959
get away from fashion and move on
to the actual content of the podcast.

26
00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:34.079
I did send out about fifteen staff
writer stickers last night while I sat and

27
00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:38.120
watched the news, and there's just
a satisfaction of like going through and sending

28
00:01:38.159 --> 00:01:42.840
all of those out. So if
you've asked for one, it is on

29
00:01:42.959 --> 00:01:47.959
its way. And look for my
chicken scratch handwriting on the envelope hand address

30
00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:52.159
by me in my kitchen or my
living room. And by the way,

31
00:01:52.239 --> 00:01:55.760
oh, I got to give a
shout out to two people who contributed money

32
00:01:56.239 --> 00:01:59.959
for more staff writer stickers, and
they venmowed me money. Remember yesterday somebody

33
00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:01.560
said, I'll venmo you money.
Yeah, because they said they want to

34
00:02:01.560 --> 00:02:05.120
go to the drive through or go
to the grocery store and buy the order

35
00:02:05.159 --> 00:02:07.240
of the person behind them, but
they don't always know that that's, you

36
00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:12.039
know, like going to be appreciated
or whatever. So they said, Patrick

37
00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:15.439
Olson venmoed me. And I'm not
going to say the amount because it was

38
00:02:15.639 --> 00:02:17.120
very generous, but I don't want
people to think, oh, that's the

39
00:02:17.159 --> 00:02:22.800
amount we're expecting. You do not
need to venmo me anything for staff writer

40
00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:27.879
sticker. So it was this is
this is on me. But also Lynn,

41
00:02:27.960 --> 00:02:31.120
who listens in, I want to
say, o maha. She also

42
00:02:31.319 --> 00:02:36.960
venmoted me for more staff writer stickers. Not necessary, but I love that

43
00:02:37.039 --> 00:02:38.560
you did that. I mean they
do add up. They're expensive to make.

44
00:02:38.879 --> 00:02:44.120
There's the envelopes and then postage stamps
are about sixty cents apiece. So

45
00:02:44.159 --> 00:02:46.400
if I mail out ten that's six
dollars. If I mail out one hundred,

46
00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:50.319
that's sixty dollars. It's not going
to kill me, and I love

47
00:02:50.439 --> 00:02:53.280
doing it. I just love that
you actually want to write a sticker.

48
00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:57.840
I want to get a sticker.
For example, this person Rachel says so

49
00:02:58.080 --> 00:03:00.199
many topics I wanted to email in
the last couple of weeks. But I've

50
00:03:00.199 --> 00:03:05.280
got nothing more than two sentences to
say, so I never actually do.

51
00:03:05.319 --> 00:03:07.479
But I'm not sure if anybody else
who listens feels the same way. You

52
00:03:07.479 --> 00:03:10.000
know what, if you want to
write in with something and we don't use

53
00:03:10.039 --> 00:03:13.840
it, then that's okay. But
go ahead and write in why not?

54
00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:16.360
Yesterday you were talking about recurring dreams, and I have one that I cannot

55
00:03:16.400 --> 00:03:21.120
figure out why it keeps happening.
I'm always at some sort of event and

56
00:03:21.159 --> 00:03:23.719
I'm wearing really high heels and i
can't stand up fully your walk and it's

57
00:03:23.719 --> 00:03:28.319
so frustrating. I can't seem to
figure out the deeper meaning. And I

58
00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:32.280
also literally never wear heels, so
it's a very unlikely situation in the first

59
00:03:32.280 --> 00:03:36.639
place. I don't know, but
it would interpret that off the top of

60
00:03:36.639 --> 00:03:38.639
my head, I would say you
were probably going through something that makes you

61
00:03:38.800 --> 00:03:43.960
uncomfortable or makes you feel like you
don't fit in. Yeah, when I

62
00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:46.039
google what does it mean when you
can barely like stand up or walk in

63
00:03:46.039 --> 00:03:50.120
a dream, and says that it's
a sign you feel like you're not in

64
00:03:50.159 --> 00:03:53.719
control of some aspect of your life. Okay, it's always so vague,

65
00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:57.560
you know, but it could be
helpful if you think about it, like,

66
00:03:57.680 --> 00:03:59.919
is there something you feel like you're
not in control of right now?

67
00:04:00.599 --> 00:04:02.360
And that could be She's got another
one, she says. I also just

68
00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:05.840
had a dream the other night that
was so random. I have to share.

69
00:04:05.960 --> 00:04:10.080
My husband and I are huge Survivor
fans, and in my dream,

70
00:04:10.080 --> 00:04:13.000
we're on some sort of bus tour. The first stop on the tour is

71
00:04:13.039 --> 00:04:16.560
a replica of the fire Making Challenge. Survivor fans know the hype, Oh

72
00:04:16.639 --> 00:04:19.000
I know it, do you?
Oh yeah, and we were all so

73
00:04:19.120 --> 00:04:23.360
excited to try it for ourselves.
Well, once I stepped foot off the

74
00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:27.199
bus, I slipped on the grass
that was also somehow a pit of muddy

75
00:04:27.199 --> 00:04:30.600
water, and I slipped away to
a different location. I went into a

76
00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:33.079
new dream situation, but was still
consciously thinking, how the f do I

77
00:04:33.120 --> 00:04:39.480
get back to the fire making ha
ha. I don't have an interpretation for

78
00:04:39.519 --> 00:04:41.959
that one, But then that could
be again. Maybe you feel like there's

79
00:04:41.959 --> 00:04:45.399
a part of your life that is
it's frustrating because you're not in control of

80
00:04:45.439 --> 00:04:49.519
it. Maybe maybe your work situation, maybe a family situation. Something I

81
00:04:49.560 --> 00:04:53.000
know, you're running low on staff
rider stickers. I'd love one if you

82
00:04:53.040 --> 00:04:55.240
have some left. I do,
I do, and we won't run out,

83
00:04:55.279 --> 00:04:58.120
trust me. I finally got a
Yetti cup for Christmas. I'm so

84
00:04:58.199 --> 00:05:00.800
excited to fill it with stickers.
Right now, my only sticker is one

85
00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:04.879
of a pig with the phrase hogs
and kisses under it. Okay, that

86
00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:09.720
is adorable. Happy Friday, have
a great weekend. That is Rachel and

87
00:05:09.839 --> 00:05:12.360
Riverfalls. Thank you, Rachel,
your sticker will be on its way.

88
00:05:12.439 --> 00:05:16.360
I like that Rachel doesn't like need
her Stanley to be so fancy and not

89
00:05:16.439 --> 00:05:18.959
filled with stickers. I like that
she's going to be putting stickers on it

90
00:05:19.000 --> 00:05:23.439
because you don't see many people walking
around. Would like because we all we

91
00:05:23.519 --> 00:05:26.839
all have like a mug, Andrew
and I have like or like a thermos

92
00:05:26.920 --> 00:05:29.399
that we have our stickers on and
stuff. And it's some old thing,

93
00:05:29.480 --> 00:05:31.360
you know, like not anything you
care that much about, but a Stanley

94
00:05:31.600 --> 00:05:36.680
that's pristine there. It's kind of
putting, like like putting stickers on your

95
00:05:36.680 --> 00:05:41.680
brand new Mercedes or something. And
it's funny because if you're old enough,

96
00:05:41.720 --> 00:05:44.920
you remember when bumper stickers were a
thing. Radio stations used to give away

97
00:05:44.920 --> 00:05:49.319
bumper stickers. Well, cars don't
really have bumpers like they used to,

98
00:05:50.319 --> 00:05:54.319
and so the bumpers are kind of
built into the body of the car.

99
00:05:54.439 --> 00:05:59.079
They used to be like a chrome
bumper back in the seventies and eighties,

100
00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:00.560
and now they're built in the color
of the car, so they're much more

101
00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:04.480
conspicuous. And we haven't given out
bumper stickers on this radio station, I

102
00:06:04.560 --> 00:06:08.879
don't think since I've been here.
Yeah, we've given away stickers. And

103
00:06:08.920 --> 00:06:13.040
we give away these stickers, but
people put them on their computer top or

104
00:06:13.079 --> 00:06:17.120
on their yetti bottle and that's mine
a on my computer. Got a funny

105
00:06:17.120 --> 00:06:21.120
poop story for you? Your favorite? I know I'm not going to get

106
00:06:21.160 --> 00:06:25.639
into a trend of poop stories here, Okay, I don't what I did.

107
00:06:25.800 --> 00:06:28.720
I did, and now I'm gonna
say I'm gonna limit the number.

108
00:06:29.160 --> 00:06:31.000
If you got a poop story,
I'll give you one week to get it

109
00:06:31.040 --> 00:06:33.480
in. After that, no more
poop story. Can I do like Naughty

110
00:06:33.519 --> 00:06:39.560
Tuesday would do poop Friday? No? No, that's funny idea. Though.

111
00:06:40.360 --> 00:06:42.600
I was in the car with my
six year old and three year old

112
00:06:42.600 --> 00:06:45.319
this summer, driving home. We
turned down a country road to get home

113
00:06:45.720 --> 00:06:47.439
and there's a truck on the side
of the road. As we pass,

114
00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:50.480
we see an older man with his
pants all the way down, bent over

115
00:06:51.040 --> 00:06:55.759
and his wife next to him with
a wipe. My kids started screaming,

116
00:06:56.120 --> 00:07:00.480
his butt, Mommy, his butt? Why is he naked? It was

117
00:07:00.560 --> 00:07:03.240
clear he had to go right then
and there and there, but it was

118
00:07:03.560 --> 00:07:08.360
extra fun trying to explain to my
two young kids why they had the pleasure

119
00:07:08.399 --> 00:07:12.160
of seeing this guy's bare ass.
To top it off, as we drove

120
00:07:12.199 --> 00:07:15.399
by, the wife and husband just
stared at us ass out and all.

121
00:07:15.800 --> 00:07:17.600
Hope you guys got a little chuckle
out of my experience. Thanks for all

122
00:07:17.639 --> 00:07:21.720
you do to keep us entertained.
All absolutely, yeah, thank you Bree

123
00:07:21.720 --> 00:07:26.360
from Ellsworth. We appreciate you.
What's Elsworth known for cheese? Is that

124
00:07:26.439 --> 00:07:29.480
what their nose is? Yeah,
they've got a big I don't know if

125
00:07:29.519 --> 00:07:32.199
it's a cheese plant or something,
but a big creamrie of sorts there.

126
00:07:32.639 --> 00:07:35.920
What's your favorite cheese? You're gonna
snack on cheese minus sharp cheddar? What

127
00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:40.720
is yours? Yeah? If I'm
just having a little snacky, I definitely

128
00:07:40.720 --> 00:07:43.879
go sharp cheddar. If I'm doing
like a charcuterie, board. I want

129
00:07:43.879 --> 00:07:46.720
something soft that's spreadable, Okay.
I like a good goat cheese also,

130
00:07:47.120 --> 00:07:51.839
So just depends on the mood in
the situation. Yeah, you know what.

131
00:07:51.920 --> 00:07:55.399
I get that when you get charcuterie
board, yeah you want to spread

132
00:07:55.439 --> 00:07:58.680
it on the crackers. But if
I'm just doing like a little summer sausage

133
00:07:58.720 --> 00:08:01.439
and cheese, I'll go for sharp
cheddar. Do you ever do any like

134
00:08:01.480 --> 00:08:07.279
hobannaro cheddar? Try anything? Oh? Yeah, there's some good. There's

135
00:08:07.319 --> 00:08:11.360
like a big block of hobin Narow
cheese you can get at Costco that Andrew

136
00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:15.879
and I get sometimes I want some. I made a charcuterie board for Susan

137
00:08:15.920 --> 00:08:18.800
for Valentine's Day or her birthday,
they're two days apart, about two years

138
00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:20.959
ago. And I worked really hard
on it. And I went down to

139
00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:26.079
the Buyerly's cheese section and got a
bunch of different kinds of cheeses and some

140
00:08:26.120 --> 00:08:28.399
meats and crackers, and I worked
really hard. It wasn't artistic, because

141
00:08:28.399 --> 00:08:33.519
I'm not able to be artistic,
and I'll be honest with you, it

142
00:08:33.600 --> 00:08:37.559
didn't go over that well. She's
just not a charcuterie board, fatty,

143
00:08:37.679 --> 00:08:41.000
cheesy, meaty kind of a person. Yeah, so it didn't go over

144
00:08:41.039 --> 00:08:43.279
that well. I would not do
it again. But you know, she

145
00:08:43.919 --> 00:08:46.759
there was a video that I put
up on Instagram probably when I made it,

146
00:08:46.840 --> 00:08:50.000
and she came in and she's like, oh, that's nice, and

147
00:08:50.080 --> 00:08:56.960
I was like not the reaction of
it. So next one, in answer

148
00:08:58.080 --> 00:09:01.440
to a couple of questions posed on
the minute, oda Goodbye. I met

149
00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:05.440
my soulmate while I was married to
someone else. And I think we came

150
00:09:05.519 --> 00:09:11.759
up with this question the other day. Are you with your happily ever after?

151
00:09:13.639 --> 00:09:16.559
Because I know some people that are
with their happily ever after. They

152
00:09:16.600 --> 00:09:20.480
don't look anywhere, they do not
cheat, they do not maybe they flirt,

153
00:09:20.919 --> 00:09:24.320
but they're with their happily ever after. And I know an equal amount

154
00:09:24.360 --> 00:09:30.639
of people who are not with their
happily ever after and they're either planning on

155
00:09:30.759 --> 00:09:33.679
getting out or they're just not happy. Yeah, So would you say that

156
00:09:33.720 --> 00:09:39.120
it's half and half happily ever after
in half and half people who are married

157
00:09:41.159 --> 00:09:46.639
or in a long term relationship living
with somebody that they're not particularly happy with.

158
00:09:46.879 --> 00:09:48.200
It's so hard for me to say
because I'm still in that age where

159
00:09:48.240 --> 00:09:50.519
like a lot of my friends are
just getting married, and I just don't

160
00:09:50.519 --> 00:09:54.279
really know. I think I think
what a lot of people are learning is

161
00:09:54.279 --> 00:09:58.360
that like once you are in a
longer relationship, you don't really know certain

162
00:09:58.399 --> 00:10:03.080
things about people until you're in it
for a long haul. Like even if

163
00:10:03.120 --> 00:10:05.639
you dated a couple years before you
got married, you find out things as

164
00:10:05.679 --> 00:10:09.879
you're married, and especially with kids, you find out how someone parents and

165
00:10:09.919 --> 00:10:13.879
that doesn't always like equate to what
you believe in, and then like the

166
00:10:13.960 --> 00:10:18.600
love starts to fall from that.
So I think it's a lot of like

167
00:10:18.799 --> 00:10:24.120
life situations happen where I think people
are thinking they're in there happily ever after,

168
00:10:24.399 --> 00:10:28.279
and then life happens and you realize, just kidding, this isn't exactly

169
00:10:28.279 --> 00:10:31.440
what I wanted. I know somebody
who I went to high school with,

170
00:10:31.519 --> 00:10:35.720
and she commented on a post of
mine the other day, and so I

171
00:10:35.759 --> 00:10:39.799
clicked on her name because I used
to have a crush on her back in

172
00:10:39.960 --> 00:10:43.519
high school and she kind of had
a crush on me. Never went anywhere,

173
00:10:43.559 --> 00:10:46.679
we never even went on a date, but I clicked on her and

174
00:10:46.720 --> 00:10:50.559
I went to because I was stalking, and I went to her about you

175
00:10:50.559 --> 00:10:52.600
know what I mean? On Facebook? I went to her about and it

176
00:10:52.679 --> 00:10:56.240
said divorced, and I'm not going
to give the date because it's it's recently

177
00:10:56.279 --> 00:11:00.360
divorced and she's my age. Uh
huh. And I'm like, man,

178
00:11:00.399 --> 00:11:03.200
when you get divorced at my age, you must have been really unhappy,

179
00:11:03.240 --> 00:11:05.840
because starting over when you're older is
not very appealing. Yeah, but sometimes

180
00:11:05.840 --> 00:11:09.159
it's like, there's just no way
that I want to continue this, So

181
00:11:11.360 --> 00:11:16.200
I that's That's really all I was
going to say is that some people.

182
00:11:16.240 --> 00:11:20.440
She it's it's hard when you're my
age and you realize you're not with your

183
00:11:20.440 --> 00:11:24.559
happily ever after and you're like so
desperately wanting to get away and start with

184
00:11:24.639 --> 00:11:28.159
somebody new that you're going to leave
somebody at this age. Yeah, I

185
00:11:28.240 --> 00:11:31.639
mean, for sure, I don't
know a lot of people who have gotten

186
00:11:31.679 --> 00:11:33.639
divorced like that late in life.
But I ought a great divorce. Oh

187
00:11:33.639 --> 00:11:37.080
okay, I feel like I don't
know. Andrew recently helped someone buy a

188
00:11:37.120 --> 00:11:41.559
condo, a guy who was going
through a divorce who is probably around the

189
00:11:41.600 --> 00:11:45.240
same age, and him and his
wife are just like, we're good,

190
00:11:45.639 --> 00:11:48.159
we're friends. This wasn't it anymore
for us, And they just kind of

191
00:11:48.159 --> 00:11:50.559
called it, you know. So
I think that some people just get to

192
00:11:50.600 --> 00:11:54.559
a point in life where they're like, eh, we don't need to be

193
00:11:54.559 --> 00:11:58.360
married anymore, but we can remain
friends, right, And I think that's

194
00:11:58.799 --> 00:12:01.480
there's there's something they and I think
that, you know, you look at

195
00:12:01.480 --> 00:12:03.759
somebody that is older and you go, oh, they must be so terribly

196
00:12:03.799 --> 00:12:09.559
happy. I know a couple and
they I don't know him, but I

197
00:12:09.600 --> 00:12:15.279
know her quite well. And they
both came from broken marriages, like they

198
00:12:15.360 --> 00:12:18.360
both got cheated on, and so
they got together. They bonded. They're

199
00:12:18.360 --> 00:12:24.399
both funny, and they're both They
keep their finances separate, completely separate,

200
00:12:24.440 --> 00:12:30.879
which I found interesting their early forties, both successful, not wealthy, but

201
00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:37.440
wealthier than most people. They do
really well. And they both agreed they're

202
00:12:37.480 --> 00:12:41.279
never going to cheat because they would
never do to their partner what was done

203
00:12:41.360 --> 00:12:46.639
to them. They said, if
you're not happy, then just let's break

204
00:12:46.759 --> 00:12:48.919
up. And they said, we
kind of check in like every six months

205
00:12:48.960 --> 00:12:52.440
and go, you're still happy?
You still want to keep doing this?

206
00:12:52.519 --> 00:12:54.559
Yeah? And she said are we
one hundred percent happy? Absolutely not,

207
00:12:54.879 --> 00:12:58.799
but are we happy enough to renew
the contract for another six months? Or

208
00:13:00.120 --> 00:13:01.879
ye? Yeah, so let's go
on with her story. We got off

209
00:13:01.919 --> 00:13:05.320
track. I met my soulmate when
I was married to somebody else. My

210
00:13:05.360 --> 00:13:11.039
soulmate was actually an acquaintance of my
husband, and we met through somebody mutually,

211
00:13:11.240 --> 00:13:13.440
and the marriage was not My marriage
was not at all happy, but

212
00:13:13.480 --> 00:13:16.320
at least it was somewhat stable,
at least financially. And I've never been

213
00:13:16.320 --> 00:13:20.080
one to make big moves or encourage
big change, so I figured I was

214
00:13:20.159 --> 00:13:24.279
just destined to remain in my marriage
situation. But apparently meeting my person did

215
00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:28.600
something me because I did end up
leaving my marriage to be with him.

216
00:13:28.120 --> 00:13:31.120
Now he and I have been together
almost ten years and married almost six,

217
00:13:31.159 --> 00:13:35.960
and I could not be happier.
I love that story for you, And

218
00:13:37.120 --> 00:13:39.639
answer another question, I listened to
the Minnesota Goodbye all the way through every

219
00:13:39.679 --> 00:13:45.600
time up until the ending Chumba Casino
ad starts anyway, Yeah, and every

220
00:13:45.600 --> 00:13:48.039
morning show podcasts. There are definitely
big highlights of my day, and I

221
00:13:48.039 --> 00:13:50.720
haven't missed any in years. I
don't know if you want me to say

222
00:13:50.720 --> 00:13:52.200
your name is, so I'm gona
leave your name out, but you know

223
00:13:52.240 --> 00:13:54.639
who you are, and thank you
so much for that. That is a

224
00:13:54.639 --> 00:14:01.799
great email. Uh day I and
this person is from Texas. I've got

225
00:14:01.799 --> 00:14:05.440
two children. I'm an Oma German
for Grandma since I was born in Germany

226
00:14:05.600 --> 00:14:11.559
to three grandchildren and they give their
names. They're two, one and three

227
00:14:11.559 --> 00:14:13.840
months. All my grandchildren have been
born in the month of October. I

228
00:14:13.840 --> 00:14:18.159
would love to hear more about your
children's book and when it might be available

229
00:14:18.159 --> 00:14:20.480
for purchase. Thanks so much,
love your show. Would love a staff

230
00:14:20.480 --> 00:14:26.000
writers sticker, please dunka And her
name is Alexandra and she's in Texas.

231
00:14:26.000 --> 00:14:31.360
So Alexandra love that you listen.
Don't know how you found us children's book.

232
00:14:31.559 --> 00:14:35.879
It is at the printer, yes, and it is. We've we've

233
00:14:35.919 --> 00:14:39.440
done all of that. When you
when you write a book, there is

234
00:14:39.519 --> 00:14:43.279
so much you've got to do.
You can't just write a book and then

235
00:14:43.679 --> 00:14:46.320
send it to the printer and then
go, well, I've got a bunch

236
00:14:46.320 --> 00:14:48.480
of books. Now you've got to
figure out how to sell them. You

237
00:14:48.559 --> 00:14:52.960
got to get it on Amazon.
And do you want it on this feature

238
00:14:52.960 --> 00:14:56.600
on Amazon? Do you want it
to you wanted to ship yourself out of

239
00:14:56.639 --> 00:14:58.159
your garage? Do you want Amazon
to do all the shipping? Do you

240
00:14:58.200 --> 00:15:01.159
want it in bookstore if you wanted
in bookstores, there's other things you're gonna

241
00:15:01.200 --> 00:15:05.360
do. So there's a lot of
work that we've hired a company to do

242
00:15:05.399 --> 00:15:07.000
all the work for us. We
just have to make the decisions and pay

243
00:15:07.000 --> 00:15:11.759
the bills. Yeah, but it
should be in the next couple of months,

244
00:15:11.399 --> 00:15:16.519
which is great. But it's not
in time for any special day Valentine's

245
00:15:16.559 --> 00:15:22.120
Day, Christmas, it's not it's
not in time for any I would love

246
00:15:22.159 --> 00:15:24.519
to have had it in time for
Christmas, and I'm proud of it.

247
00:15:26.440 --> 00:15:31.159
But the best part of the book
is the artwork. Yeah, the artwork

248
00:15:31.519 --> 00:15:35.039
makes the book, it really does. The artist is somebody that we found

249
00:15:35.080 --> 00:15:39.639
online. And it's kind of like
going through Tender. You go through all

250
00:15:39.720 --> 00:15:43.279
of these artists samples and you go, oh, hers is good, but

251
00:15:43.399 --> 00:15:46.919
it looks a little childlike her.
Hers is good, but it looks a

252
00:15:46.919 --> 00:15:50.600
little surreal. Did you find a
few people and get like samples of what

253
00:15:50.639 --> 00:15:54.759
you wanted and then went from there, Yeah, exactly. We found a

254
00:15:54.799 --> 00:15:58.240
few people and we narrowed it down
to like six, and we narrowed it

255
00:15:58.240 --> 00:16:00.720
down to a couple and then we
had the one that we chose. Draw

256
00:16:00.840 --> 00:16:04.919
some samples and say, hey,
what would the main character look like?

257
00:16:06.000 --> 00:16:11.360
And so she envisioned what the main
character looked like, and then envisioned what

258
00:16:11.159 --> 00:16:17.799
his family would look like. And
she was brilliant. I mean, her

259
00:16:18.080 --> 00:16:22.759
artwork is funny and it's warm,
and it's cute and sweet, and you

260
00:16:22.799 --> 00:16:26.960
know, I'm proud of my writing
and I'm proud of the story, but

261
00:16:26.080 --> 00:16:30.960
her artwork makes the entire book.
And when it's available, I will let

262
00:16:32.200 --> 00:16:37.399
you know for sure. Next one, Minnesota, Goodbye, Here we go.

263
00:16:37.480 --> 00:16:40.240
My name is My name was Chelsea. I listened to the show my

264
00:16:40.440 --> 00:16:41.840
entire life. I had a memory
to share with Dave today, as well

265
00:16:41.879 --> 00:16:47.960
as two emergency poop stories. I
hope you enjoy ps. My husband won

266
00:16:48.039 --> 00:16:52.159
second place in the costume contest this
past year at the Boo Bash. Thank

267
00:16:52.200 --> 00:16:55.039
you. We had the best time. He was the invisible man. Oh

268
00:16:55.120 --> 00:17:00.399
yes, Oh, I can't forget
him. Poop number one, Here we

269
00:17:00.440 --> 00:17:03.039
go. I'm the one who asked
for it. When I was in high

270
00:17:03.120 --> 00:17:04.599
school, I had a best friend
that lived up north. We'd go visit

271
00:17:04.640 --> 00:17:07.880
her every summer. I'm gonna check
the wave for him, just to make

272
00:17:07.880 --> 00:17:12.000
sure it's still recording, and it
is okay, good news. Okay.

273
00:17:12.200 --> 00:17:15.200
We go visit every summer. One
day, we're at the lake, just

274
00:17:15.240 --> 00:17:19.079
swimming around. We both had to
poop. Mind you, we were off

275
00:17:19.079 --> 00:17:22.799
of someone's dock, so it wasn't
in front of a bunch of people,

276
00:17:23.039 --> 00:17:26.200
but it was right off a busy
street. My friends decided to just poop

277
00:17:26.279 --> 00:17:30.640
right there in the water, next
to the dock. I was about to,

278
00:17:30.720 --> 00:17:33.119
but I couldn't bring myself to do
it. I ended up sprinting across

279
00:17:33.119 --> 00:17:36.440
the busy road, looking left and
right as I went, with clenched cheeks,

280
00:17:36.480 --> 00:17:38.319
holding my ass with one hand as
that that would stop, as if

281
00:17:38.319 --> 00:17:41.720
that would stop something from happening.
But I made it to the public restrooms

282
00:17:41.759 --> 00:17:47.319
on either side. Don't poop in
the lake because people get in the lake

283
00:17:47.359 --> 00:17:51.839
and swim and kids get in there
and the fish don't like it. Poop

284
00:17:51.920 --> 00:17:53.839
number two. A couple of years
ago, my husband and I were at

285
00:17:53.839 --> 00:17:57.440
Willow River and I had to poop
bad. I don't know where. Willow

286
00:17:57.519 --> 00:18:00.920
River is, right across the border, a little bit past Hudson. It's

287
00:18:00.960 --> 00:18:04.920
beautiful. It has gorgeous waterfalls.
We were the only ones in the area

288
00:18:04.960 --> 00:18:07.200
that I could see, and he
told me go in the bushes, but

289
00:18:07.240 --> 00:18:11.319
the rocks were so fucking hot because
of the sun. I decided I had

290
00:18:11.319 --> 00:18:15.279
to use the river. The only
problem is I was facing downstream when I

291
00:18:15.319 --> 00:18:18.519
pooped, so the turd popped right
up in front of me and we both

292
00:18:18.559 --> 00:18:21.720
watched it float downstream. I hope
you don't think I'm horrible after these I'm

293
00:18:21.799 --> 00:18:26.400
laughing typing it out. Don't poop
in the water. I know it sounds

294
00:18:26.440 --> 00:18:30.680
like a safe alternative, but don't. I'm not judging you a little bit,

295
00:18:30.720 --> 00:18:36.000
but don't poop in the water because
imagine the horror of somebody encountering that

296
00:18:36.119 --> 00:18:38.920
turd. Yeah, that is just
an awful experience. So I got it

297
00:18:40.039 --> 00:18:42.720
a little built in bidet situation.
It sounds like because I would not think

298
00:18:42.799 --> 00:18:47.079
if I was in a state park
that had water to go in the water,

299
00:18:47.160 --> 00:18:49.599
I would just go in the woods. I would think I would think

300
00:18:51.960 --> 00:18:56.920
wash off in the water. So
anyway, just imagine me on a tube,

301
00:18:56.359 --> 00:19:00.559
drinking a bud light and all of
a sudden, your big poopats by.

302
00:19:00.880 --> 00:19:06.480
Well, luckily it's not one of
those drinking tubein rivers that willower memory.

303
00:19:06.519 --> 00:19:08.440
Eleven years ago, we went with
some friends to a haunted hay ride

304
00:19:08.480 --> 00:19:12.039
eleven years ago, to a haunted
hay ride type of thing for Halloween.

305
00:19:12.079 --> 00:19:15.000
To my pleasant surprise. Day was
there handing out T shirts to people that

306
00:19:15.079 --> 00:19:18.799
knew what scary movie he was describing. I knew the first one ride away

307
00:19:18.799 --> 00:19:22.759
and I got a shirt. Then
no one was answering the next question.

308
00:19:22.799 --> 00:19:26.400
And since I know scary movies,
well, I told my three friends each

309
00:19:26.480 --> 00:19:30.000
answer and we all ended up getting
free shirts. It was a blast.

310
00:19:30.279 --> 00:19:36.039
I remember that night. Oh my
god, I'm going to tell you something

311
00:19:36.039 --> 00:19:38.319
that I remember about that night.
I was going through some hard, hard

312
00:19:38.440 --> 00:19:45.519
shit in my life that night,
really hard shit, and I remember I

313
00:19:45.559 --> 00:19:48.799
had such a good time that night
that when I got in the car,

314
00:19:48.880 --> 00:19:53.200
I thought to myself, I didn't
think about anything bad for the two or

315
00:19:53.279 --> 00:19:56.599
three hours that I was there,
And that was one of the first times

316
00:19:56.720 --> 00:20:00.960
during that part of my life that
I was able to not think of something

317
00:20:02.839 --> 00:20:06.839
awful. I didn't give any thought
to it, right, So, in

318
00:20:06.920 --> 00:20:10.200
other words, I was distracted.
I think so many people have been in

319
00:20:10.200 --> 00:20:12.519
situations like that where your brain just
can't get off of something that's going on

320
00:20:12.720 --> 00:20:17.480
in your life, and so the
moment you realize you did something where you

321
00:20:17.559 --> 00:20:21.240
finally weren't focused on that. That
is like a beautiful moment. It really

322
00:20:21.279 --> 00:20:25.400
was, and it was a transformative
moment because I realized that I could put

323
00:20:25.440 --> 00:20:27.839
that out of my mind for two
hours, and I remember getting to the

324
00:20:27.880 --> 00:20:30.279
car and driving away. I can
still picture in front of me looking out

325
00:20:30.279 --> 00:20:34.119
my window in my car thinking I
didn't think about it for two or three

326
00:20:34.160 --> 00:20:40.400
hours. So I remember that night
way better than I should, or all

327
00:20:40.480 --> 00:20:44.359
the wrong but also right reasons.
Hope you enjoyed my stories. Sorry for

328
00:20:44.400 --> 00:20:45.920
the long email. Love listening to
you three. Every morning I drive to

329
00:20:45.960 --> 00:20:48.640
work and I listened to the Minnesota
Goodbye on my way home, or as

330
00:20:48.680 --> 00:20:52.640
soon as I can. I would
love a rat staff writer sticker if you

331
00:20:52.680 --> 00:20:55.799
still got them. Love you guys
so much. Thanks for always making my

332
00:20:55.880 --> 00:20:57.640
laugh. That's Chelsea up in Saint
Cloud. So I'm going to take a

333
00:20:57.680 --> 00:21:00.079
picture of your name there, Chelsea. Oh, there's your last name.

334
00:21:00.160 --> 00:21:03.960
Gotta get your last name in there
too. Okay, done, sticker on

335
00:21:04.079 --> 00:21:08.480
its way. Another one, please
don't say my name. Oh. We

336
00:21:08.519 --> 00:21:11.400
talked about this one yesterday, so
we're now kind of back to emails that

337
00:21:11.480 --> 00:21:15.839
we This was the sex quiz.
When do we talk about this on the

338
00:21:15.839 --> 00:21:18.200
podcast? About it? I think
you saw it after the show, so

339
00:21:18.240 --> 00:21:22.480
we didn't talk about it on the
podcast. Okay, yeah, so this

340
00:21:22.559 --> 00:21:26.960
one, Jenny says, they mentioned
on her and Falence podcast about a quiz

341
00:21:27.000 --> 00:21:32.799
with your significant other about sex topics. At the end, it shows you

342
00:21:32.839 --> 00:21:37.279
both mutually said what you might be
into. Well, I look this up

343
00:21:37.720 --> 00:21:40.680
and made my husband do it,
and my, oh my, has the

344
00:21:40.839 --> 00:21:44.880
sex been good. We are about
fifteen years into having been together, and

345
00:21:44.920 --> 00:21:48.839
while I wouldn't say the spice in
the bedroom had been lacking, this sure

346
00:21:48.960 --> 00:21:52.400
opened up some new doors. Definitely
recommend it. I did the I'm gonna

347
00:21:52.400 --> 00:21:56.119
give you the quiz she gave,
although it might not be the same one

348
00:21:56.160 --> 00:21:57.480
now, but I can give the
one I have too. I'll give both.

349
00:21:57.559 --> 00:22:03.599
Okay, sure, here's the one
that we're for her quiv dot r

350
00:22:03.680 --> 00:22:10.319
e quiv dot r and it's a
sex quiz. And then she says,

351
00:22:10.880 --> 00:22:14.319
my husband is thankful as well.
Jenny, thanks for the recommendation. No

352
00:22:14.640 --> 00:22:18.799
dart licking after this quiz or gasmically
yours and we won't say her name.

353
00:22:18.839 --> 00:22:22.880
What's the quiz? You found?
The one I did. It's the website

354
00:22:22.079 --> 00:22:27.279
Mojo upgrade dot com. So Mojo
m ojo upgrade dot com. I don't

355
00:22:27.319 --> 00:22:30.279
know how Andrew found it. He
just found it one day over Christmas break

356
00:22:30.279 --> 00:22:33.519
and we took it. And I
very much agree you'd be surprised that,

357
00:22:33.640 --> 00:22:37.160
Like, if you've been with your
partner for a long time, you might

358
00:22:37.200 --> 00:22:40.119
think that you know exactly what each
other wants in the bendroom, but then

359
00:22:40.160 --> 00:22:42.279
you actually open up a line of
communication with something like this, and it's

360
00:22:42.279 --> 00:22:45.000
like, oh, I didn't know
you would be into that. Okay.

361
00:22:47.079 --> 00:22:49.680
So interesting. It's like if you're
with somebody for a long time, you

362
00:22:49.720 --> 00:22:53.559
think you know what they're into.
But I think sometimes people are afraid to

363
00:22:53.960 --> 00:22:59.559
ask for something because they don't want
the other person to go, you fucking

364
00:22:59.680 --> 00:23:04.319
kid me, you're fucking gross,
or I was embarrassed to ask for it.

365
00:23:04.400 --> 00:23:11.160
So interesting, Okay, last one. I'm writing in because I'm hoping

366
00:23:11.240 --> 00:23:15.799
for a few suggestions and we'll probably
need your help. At the end of

367
00:23:15.799 --> 00:23:18.839
February, my best friend and I
are taking a weekend trip to Minneapolis for

368
00:23:18.920 --> 00:23:22.319
some nice dinners and cocktails and airbnb. We want to eat at Fogo to

369
00:23:22.400 --> 00:23:26.319
Shao and we want to be relatively
close, but we want to stay somewhere

370
00:23:26.480 --> 00:23:30.319
comfy. After dinner, we're hoping
to get some cocktails before headed back to

371
00:23:30.359 --> 00:23:34.119
the airbnb. Here's my problem.
I want to stay somewhere that is safe,

372
00:23:34.599 --> 00:23:40.079
has a few stops for drinks,
but isn't in the city. Maybe

373
00:23:40.119 --> 00:23:45.039
on the outskirts, in a suburb
that isn't too far that is relatively cheaper

374
00:23:45.160 --> 00:23:48.519
drinks die bar type, or from
a small town in Wisconsin. So,

375
00:23:48.680 --> 00:23:51.240
Jenny, I think you know the
vibe we're looking for. If you have

376
00:23:51.400 --> 00:23:55.799
any suggestions, I would appreciate it. Maybe I'm being too specific. Also,

377
00:23:55.799 --> 00:23:59.799
we plan to brunch it and mimosa
it all day Sunday. If you

378
00:23:59.839 --> 00:24:03.240
got any tips, that would be
great. Brook in Wisconsin, I don't

379
00:24:03.279 --> 00:24:07.640
really have. I mean, Minneapolis
downtown is safer than you think, but

380
00:24:07.720 --> 00:24:11.880
if you're from small town Wisconsin and
it's intimidating, it might not be for

381
00:24:11.920 --> 00:24:15.680
you. Plus, drinks are fucking
expensive in downtown Minneapolis. They are.

382
00:24:17.720 --> 00:24:21.319
I don't know a ton about like
exactly what you're trying to look for.

383
00:24:21.400 --> 00:24:25.160
I will just plug probably Saint Louis
Park, where I live. There's definitely

384
00:24:25.200 --> 00:24:27.279
airbnbs in the area. I don't
know if you book someone one already,

385
00:24:27.279 --> 00:24:32.599
but Saint Louis Park would be good
because you've got Bunnies bar and grill,

386
00:24:32.759 --> 00:24:37.200
and then also Park Tavern. Park
Tavern's like a bowling alley sports bar that's

387
00:24:37.279 --> 00:24:38.799
really good, stars and stuff like
that. So it's not your like hole

388
00:24:38.839 --> 00:24:41.680
in the wall small town bar.
You're not going to get a lot of

389
00:24:41.720 --> 00:24:47.519
those kind of bars in like the
inner ring of suburbs of the Twin Cities.

390
00:24:48.240 --> 00:24:51.440
I mean, there's the Classic Couzies
that's in the North Loop downtown that

391
00:24:51.599 --> 00:24:53.559
is like they've got the dollars all
over the walls and stuff like that,

392
00:24:53.599 --> 00:24:57.119
but that's in the heart of downtown
and the North Loop, so I would

393
00:24:57.119 --> 00:25:00.480
plug Saint Louis Park would be good. It's it's just that you're probably not

394
00:25:00.519 --> 00:25:06.240
going to find too many inner city
suburbs that you could like walk to the

395
00:25:06.000 --> 00:25:10.440
un bars. Yeah, the inner
ring suburbs, sorry, but Saint Louis

396
00:25:10.440 --> 00:25:12.160
Park has a couple of good options. And then the West End area of

397
00:25:12.200 --> 00:25:15.440
Saint Louis Park has some really good
brunch options too. Because I know she

398
00:25:15.440 --> 00:25:18.319
said she wants to do like mimosas
on Sunday. So the shops at West

399
00:25:18.400 --> 00:25:22.200
End in Saint Louis Park, which
is where we're located. They've got Hope

400
00:25:22.200 --> 00:25:25.319
Breakfast bar. You do have to
get reservations in there. But then also

401
00:25:25.920 --> 00:25:27.880
the Block is in Saint Louis Park. That's kind of a little bit of

402
00:25:27.880 --> 00:25:32.920
a newer restaurant. I think that
they do like some brunch like Mimosa specials.

403
00:25:32.920 --> 00:25:37.000
I'm heading there on Sunday actually with
Andrew's family for it's called the Block,

404
00:25:37.160 --> 00:25:40.839
Okay, And yeah, so I
think like that's a good option.

405
00:25:41.000 --> 00:25:45.079
But I'm just not well versed because
there's so many cities around Minneapolis. I

406
00:25:45.079 --> 00:25:48.759
don't know what to offer. I
mean, I know chan Hassen, but

407
00:25:48.799 --> 00:25:51.680
I'm not going to send you all
the way to chan Hasson. When I

408
00:25:51.759 --> 00:25:56.799
heard of like brunch mimosas, I
thought of Maynards on Lake Minnetonka. But

409
00:25:56.920 --> 00:26:03.720
they're moderately expensive and they're certainly not
close to the inner loop of cities.

410
00:26:03.799 --> 00:26:07.279
There is Lush in the northeast.
They are a gay bar and they're super

411
00:26:07.319 --> 00:26:10.920
fun too that you could do like
a bron chat. If you had any

412
00:26:10.920 --> 00:26:12.680
ideas for Brook from Wisconsin, let
us know you might be like, Oh,

413
00:26:12.720 --> 00:26:15.799
I know exactly what she wants and
here's exactly the place for it,

414
00:26:15.880 --> 00:26:18.640
so let me know. Send me
an email. You got one week to

415
00:26:18.640 --> 00:26:22.480
get the poop stories in, then
we're cutting them off, even though they're

416
00:26:22.480 --> 00:26:26.279
funny. Thanks for the emails,
Thanks for listening to We really really appreciate

417
00:26:26.279 --> 00:26:30.359
it. I'm so glad you enjoyed
the Minnesota goodbye, and thanks for listening.
