So the funny thing is, Bailey j Hess and I recorded eight minutes of
the podcast earlier, and what happened, Bailey, It wasn't recording. It
wasn't recording. So that was gold. It was all just pure gold.
So yeah, so we got to go back. We got to do it
again, which happens. That one was actually my fault. I didn't have
one of the buttons in that feeds the right thing. Look at it now?
Is it in? It is? And I can look at the wave
form and see it is a red wave form, and there it is.
So let's go back and see if we can do this right here. So
we're gonna go back and reread some of these. The good news is I
know what the gist of the email is, so I can say it a
little bit more quickly. So Charresa writes in and she says, we're talking
about safe choices and how we tend in life. I think to gravitate away
from the fascinating, sexy, wonderful choices and gravitate to someone who is a
safe choice and a partner. Then years later we go, well, this
is kind of boring, and I know several people that are in that situation.
Right now. I wanted to throw my two cents in, say there's
always the third choice. It's not the safe choice or the wrong choice,
it's the right choice. She says. I recently learned I left my safe
choice and met my right choice. I've never been happier with my decision.
I could have stayed with the safe one, but it was not the right
situation. Didn't want to waste his time or mine. Just wanted to share
this. Love you guys, thank you Charis, or shareus Sharius. Every
time I read into her, she's like, you always say my name wrong,
so I don't even really it's kind of an inside joke. Yeah,
yeah, yeah yeah. Next one, Monte says, yesterday, you're wondering
if Waka flocka Flame got part of his name from Fozzy Bear, because Fazzy
Bear the Muppet says waka waka waka. He did. He even has an
iced out Fazzy Bear chain, So that is really good information, and I
think that's cool to admit that he was a fan of Fozzy Bear Waka waka
waca waka. I'm also a big fan. Uh. Next one is a
little bit longer, but basically they talk a lot about we've been talking about
drinking and your friends drinking and your relatives drinking. And they start off with
I love the show and podcast. I listen to both every day. This
is from Alison, who is a staff writer. Thanks for all the joy,
laughs and realness that you bring to our lives. They go on to
talk about what is a hard thing you're going through and what is helping you
get through that. Currently, my husband is going through in patient treatment for
the second time in less than four months for alcoholism. Wow, which means
I'm home alone with our son who is less than a year old, and
I'm the sole provider for our family right now. It has not been easy.
Prayer and my faith have definitely helped the most. But alan On is
also another one and they talk about the benefits of alan On and basically,
you go meet with other people who are suffering from somebody else's drinking problem.
You get to talk to people who know your pain, which is good to
have. Yeah. When you hear people go yeah to me too, exactly.
Alcoholism is an awful, awful disease. I want to encourage anyone who
is affected by someone in their life who struggles with alcohol that there is hope
and there are resources out there that can help you through this. On a
similar note, yesterday's showed Dave you talked about having a friend that would text
you and then try to start arguments when she's drinking. With what we've been
through, I've been learning a lot about that the past few months, about
ways to handle this, and she goes on to say, basically, you
got to set boundaries, which is what I did. I said, when
you're drinking and I can tell you're drinking, I'm not going to text you
back. I'm not going to engage when you say something like I can't believe
that you were so rude I texted you didn't text me back. So now
I just don't text her back at all. And then a couple of days
later when I hear from her again, she doesn't remember it. And I
don't always bring it up, but sometimes I do. I'll say, you
know what, when you were texting drunk the other day, I could tell
you were drunk because you picked a fight, Yeah, for no reason.
It seems like sometimes when you call people out on that, they're like,
no, I wasn't, Like, are you do you think I'm stupid?
I know when you're drunk exactly. Yeah, and uh so we I definitely
figured out a way to deal with that. Let's see. No, I'm
not gonna do that one. Okay, So now let's go back to emails
that we have not yet read. Are you ready? I'm ready. Okay,
let's go um what okay, here's one. What word do you say
do people say wrong that bugs you? This one says it's in my center
council, which it's not a council, it's a console. I don't understand
why everybody says counsel. My other one is b insupposably. No, no,
no, it's not supposably, it's supposedly. I heard Drake say it
with a bee way too many times. I yell at my radio every time
dries me crazy. Drake also says the phrase and what not all the time.
I counted like fifteen times in one show. Just funny the things that
I noticed. So then she goes on to say Darteth liqueth in a British
accent. So it's polite, miss Darteth liketh very much, say, does
Ronda know what dart lick means? Your mom listens to the show. I
don't think she listens to the Minnesota Goodbye. Okay, so no, she
probably doesn't know, and also, uh, that'd be fine. It's fine
if she does, probably better that way. Yeah, we explain once every
month or so what dart lick means, but we're not going to this time
because we don't. You already know what it means. If you don't,
it's it's it's it's a good mystery that we'll solve for you somewhere down the
road, Dave and Jenny. Jenny's not here. She is at a bachelorette
party in Savannah for the next few days. I heard on yesterday's pod about
somebody asking for the best baby girl names. As a pediatric sleep consultant,
I come across hundreds of baby names every year. So here are some of
my favorites from recent months that are not super that are not super common.
Best for girls Top ten, no particular order. Ruby, Loretta, Quinn,
Bertie, b Y, r d I, Camden, Piper, Rory,
Indy, Daphney, and Millie not short for anything, just Millie.
I like Millie. What's your favorite in that list? Ruby Loretta, Quinn,
Bertie, Camden, Piper, Rory, Indie, Daphney, Millie,
I probably like Milli, but I do like Bertie. I call my sister
a bird. That's her nickname, so I like Bertie as well because I
have a personal connection to that. But I like all those names. Daphne's
cute. I like Milly a lot. Millie's really cute. I think Piper
is my favorite one out of that one. Yeah, Piper's cute, and
I would say Daphne is next. Best names for boys bo Micah Parker,
Rex, Elliott, Carson, Sawyer, Grayson Cooper, and Bennett Grayson out
of that whole list, I like Grayson a lot. Name in that list,
Carson. Who would name their kid Carson? You know it's funny because
I think that I named Carson. I've told this story before. I read
a Martha Stewart article about name your baby something that means something to you,
and she said, for example, a friend of mine lives in a castle
in Scotland and she named her baby after one wing of the cast. I
don't know what it was. Something like that, and talk to you,
Martha Stewart. I don't live in I don't know an that's stupid. So
I started to think about what name would mean something to me. I grew
up in Black Forest, Colorado, so I thought of Forest, and then
Susan said no because people will say run Forest, run true. True.
And then I thought of Pike because I grew up by Pike's Peak, and
I thought, that's it. That's the perfect name. But our last name
is Kibbler, so Pike Kibbler wouldn't go well out of Yeah. So if
you said it fast, it sounded like pie Kibbler. Yeah. So we
didn't go with that one. I grew up watching Johnny Carson and he was
a huge influence on me, so I think that's where I got it.
That's cute, though, it's like, oh yeah, because then he could
say, well, where did you get your name from? Oh, from
Johnny Carson. I'm just Bailey, and they're like, where'd you get your
name from? Originally from my mom liked it, it sounded good, my
dad agreed on it, Bailey, and sometimes that works and you are a
perfect Bailey. Yeah. Thanks. No other name would work for you,
No other one, though. I do get called Rachel a lot just by
accident. People be like hey, Rachel, and I'm like, it's Bailey,
but I guess I look like a Rachel. I mean, you could
pass for a Rachel, but you're definitely a baby. We named Alison,
We're gonna name her Heather when she was in the womb, and then when
we met her, it was like, well Heather was somebody else. This
is a real baby. Sure, So she didn't have a name for a
couple of days. And then finally I was laying in Alice in Susan's room
at the hospital because she had a C section. She's there for a couple
of days after and I'm laying there about to take a nap, and I'm
in the chair, and all of a sudden, the name Alison trickled into
my mind, and I said, that's it. It was planted there.
It just it just appeared, and I had no doubt that was the name.
So cute. Thank you, Steph from man Cato. Appreciate that one.
Next one, I am sitting in my car laughing about the caller that
yelled, I love Wyoming. Made me think of that lady that one concert
tickets and Dave asked if she could make it to the concert, and she
asked what time it was. Radio Gold The funniest, funniest Moment's Day would
be fun to listen to. Oh that would be a good idea. Love
you guys all so much. That is from Emily. Thank you Emily.
The story on that one was we're giving away why don't we tickets? Oh?
Yeah, And we always say because it's funny that people tend to call
the radio station to win, even if they don't know what they're winning.
So the contest was, if you want to win tickets to the band,
why don't we? We would take caller number ten and you had to answer.
We'd say hello, Katie w B. You had to say, I
love why don't we? So we explained all morning when you call us,
respond I love why don't we? Well, she had never heard of why
don't we, and she didn't know that we were saying. So she said,
I love Wyoming. I feel like I remember this because that was hilarious.
I love Wyoming. It was just so funny and perfect, and it
just made such an example of the fact that people really don't know what they're
calling to win sometimes I love Wyoming just in general, great state ten out
of ten And continuing with our next email, I got to hit delete because
I sometimes forget to hit delete, and then I'll start reading it the next
day, and then I realize I've read or reread it. Okay, Jamie
writes in I don't mind if you use my name. No scandalous stories for
today, more of a heartwarming, nostalgic email for you. How boring.
I know. I'm wondering if you guys have watched Saint of Second Chances on
Netflix. If you haven't, please do. I won't spoil all the details,
but it's about the son of a great baseball personality and once owner of
the White Sox, Bill Vick. Vick as in oh, I guess maybe
okay, reck, Okay Veck Bill Beck. His son Michael was in charge
of the infamous disco demolition night that caused a riot of rock and roll disco
despisers at Comiskey Park. I'll give you a little background on that one.
There was a DJ, Steve Dall back in about seventy eight or so,
and there was a double header at a baseball game in Chicago. A double
header is where they play one game, they take a break, they do
the second game. Yes, so Steve Doll during the height of disco,
people that loved rock and roll hated disco, and they didn't really because disco
was really fucking catchy, yes, but it wasn't as manly as rock and
roll was. So we used to say disco sucks. Disco sucks. In
the meantime, we'd go listen to our beg's record because we actually loved disco.
So Steve Dall was an all powerful everybody knew Steve Dall. In Chicago,
he hosted a disco demolition night where they blew up a bunch of records,
disco records in center field between the double header games. What the crowds
stormed the field and it was chaos and it was just a wreck. They
had to cancel the second game of the double header. Oh my god.
So and the Mike Veck was all but exiled from professional baseball because he was
the owner of the Chicago White Sox. So down and out, he was
offered a job in the burgeoning Independent League. He was offered a gritty,
small town team that was sick of living in his brother's professional shadow, the
Saint Paul Saints. Go watch it if you love baseball. Summer memories of
living in Saint Paul or just an all around sap for second chances. Highly
recommend it. Take care guys. Sorry for the long email, Jamie,
and here is my address if you have any more of those lovely staff writer
stickers. If my email was too long and didn't qualify her for a sticker,
I understand. No, Jamie, your email was not too long.
You ought to see some of the emails we get that are a novel.
But I get it because once you start writing, I think I do the
same thing. I start writing and then I start to go, oh,
that was maybe a little bit too long, but I wanted to get my
feelings out. You're like, oops, I wrote an essay format, but
I want I want to express myself. Let's see, I'm looking at the
next one and that one we already did, and pictures of this disco demolition
nice or are you looking at it? It's just there are so many people
on this field and this guy is like talking into a microphone. It looks
interesting. I'm excited that I know what this is now, because now I
want to learn more about this fantastic turning point in history. It was.
It was funny because it really was such a cultural thing where you know,
Saturday night Fever was the movie with John Travolta. Yeah, it was all
about disco, and disco was so big on the radio. And and but
if you liked rock and roll and you were into kiss and you were into
like Tenues whatever, you're like, disco sucks. Disco sucks, and that
was just that, that's just what you did in the same way that today's
say people say Nickelback sucks. Sure, well, Nickelback doesn't really suck.
It's just hip say they suck. So Steve Dahl did this whole blow up
thing and it was it was huge. It made back then the papers.
It made the papers all over the country. People have big signs disco sucks.
Interesting. I kind of want to watch this TV show there. I
kind of do too. That. Thanks for that. I really appreciate that.
One. Next one, please don't say my name? And she writes
in three different subjects. So I'm going to pick a round. Would you
like one, two or three from Lisa? Two? Two? I'm going
to a favorite things party on Friday with a bunch of friends. If you're
unfamiliar, how we are doing it is we set a dollar amount where each
person brings one of their favorite things or several that add up to that dollar
amount. So in other words, you set the dollar amount of maybe thirty
bucks, sure, and you bring one of your favorite things or several things
that add up to that dollar amount, but buy three total, and each
person gets to pick out one of somebody else's favorite things. And we do
that for a three round. And I got to take a break because our
time is running out. I'll be back, okay. So we had to
stop and start and stop and start a couple of times. But you wouldn't
know if we didn't tell you. Probably anything, Bailey, you want to
add to this at all? Anything I want to add to Minnesota? Goodbye?
I mean everybody, you know, keep learning, keep growing, go
out and learn something new today. That's what I want to add. Okay,
And I think that's I think that's good. Sure. And if you
didn't hear it early on the show, what did you learn last night?
Last night? I learned about lap dancing. I took a lap dance class
and it was fun and different and I just decided I was like, Yolo,
I should do this, And yeah, I feel like more people should
be like Yolo. I'm going to take a class because they have people teaching
you things left and right. There was like an ad in this hallway for
fencing. You want to learn how to fence? Okay, that sounds kind
of cool. Well exactly, so go out and find that thing. I
did that with pickleball. That's how I got I don't play that much anymore.
That's how I got started with five k is. I was sitting in
the lobby of the Chan Rec Center twenty five years ago and I was waiting
for Allison to be done with gymnastics or something, and there was a little
flyer and it said couch to five couch Yeah. Yeah, yeah, And
that's how I got started running. So yeah, go learn something new,
something new, guys. Yeah, yeah, have a great day. Thanks
