Here we go lost cover on the Minnesota Goodbye, welcome back fallon. Let's
see what we got with emails. And yesterday we had an interesting conversation about
whether scratching your butt and then rubbing your eye causes pink eye. And I
learned that from you because you talked about You've brought it up many times over
the years. You've got pink eye. You must have been scratching your rubbing
your eye the eye, Rochelle writes in First off, pink eye is not
caused by picking your butt. Both of my young kids have had it and
have given it to me. Is most often caused by a virus, which
means the antibiotic drops they give you are useless if it is not bacterial pink
eye. But daycares and preschools historically won't let you back in unless you're on
drops, at least according to my pediatrician, so they prescribe those. The
main sucky part about pink eyes it spreads so slowly through the house that it
keeps popping up in new people every time you think you are done. Sounds
like your kids being their butt. Okay, I think she just said it's
not about it in your butt. Also regarding Prior Lake, we talked about
this morning. Somebody said a friend of mine said their realtor said that Prior
Lake is the Coon Rapids of lakes, which I kind of laughed about,
but I'm like, I want to know whether it's true. So this message
said friend the same woman regarding Prior Lake. I don't have any personal experience
with that lake to know if there are rundown spots, but there are several
boogey spots that I know of. We just build a house not in Prior
Lake, with a builder that does one to two million dollar construction routinely on
the lake. I think that you used to feel light wears away before the
one sixty nine bridge, another expansion south of the river. Now it's pretty
easy to live there and work closer to Minneapolis, so it's not a bad
choice. So interesting how we really have got people talking about Prior Lake.
Probably not done with that right now. It's the popular spot. Apparently here
we go. Hear'd you talking about Tuesday show podcast about Prior Lake being like
Coon Rapids. This is not the case. I live in the area about
fifteen minutes from Prior Lake. I would consider Prior Lake and surrounding areas such
as Credit River, Lakeville, and even most of Scott County to be similar
to the DNA of the South Metro. These areas are growing, becoming more
upscale and highly desirable for families looking to get out of the cities. Prior
Lake itself is a super busy lake, almost like Lake Minnetonka of the South
Metro. Who knew as a resident of the area for the past nine years,
I would highly recommend the area as it has been a much sought after
area for many years. You have any questions about it, feel free to
shoot me an email. Love you guys from Christie, love you back.
That's good to know. I mean, if you're ever Dave, you've been
looking for a lake home, you know, maybe Prior Lake should be on
your radar. You know, it was not not on our radar. It's
just that there are no houses right now. Yeah, there are no houses
that are popping up right now, and the ones that are are way out
of our price range or feel like a cabin and yeah, I don't want
to live in a cabin. I don't. And we've looked at several that
they have a cabiny vibe and I don't want to live in a cabin.
I got jays. All right, we're talking about somebody wrote yesterday and said
I'm going to the UK, give me some suggestions, and we said,
oh no, can I suggest it wasn't here For that, I would follow
Madison in Minneapolis and make sure it's still her name. She lived here and
she was a foodie and she I loved her page so much and then she
moved. Yeah, it's Madison in MPLS. But she's been living in London
for the past year. So if you're going to that area, then she
just posted like her favorite year in review blog. Okay, so it's just
Madison Madison in m p LS. It's her Instagram in Okay, Okay,
got it. Okay. This is from Becca and she says, I've only
been to London in the UK, but here's some recommendations. Now, this
will only appeal to a few people, so I'm not going to spend a
lot of time on this one, but I will definitely include it because I
asked for it. Restaurants Churchill's Arms, an old English pub decorated with flowers
all over. It's amazing, Golden Union, very good traditional fish and Chips
restaurant, fun atmosphere and so yummy fun. Neighborhoods, the Theater District and
the Soho District. Things to do. Borough Market one of the oldest open
air markets in the world. Lots to see and good foodstalls. That's Borough
Market. Liberty London Department Store probably the most famous brand in London. This
department store is beautiful to see. The building itself is stunning and in a
fun neighborhood. Churchill war Rooms Now, this is a museum of the bunker
Churchill directed his army from during World War Two, completely preserved because they closed
it up when the war ended and didn't want and it didn't resurface until they
made the museum. I would love that a lot of people would be like,
who's Winston Churchill? I don't care. Yeah, it's not that I
don't know who Winston Churchill is. That's all the things you in London that
is probably not going to make the top of my list. That would be
the top of my list. Hampton Court outside of London, Henry the eighth
Amazing summer Getaway is the most incredible huge castle. That would be cool.
Kensington Place in this city where Princess did lived. It's gorgeous in the gardens
are amazing, so thank you for that. I would throw in there,
you know, just like from my trip. I really look. They have
such great theater there. If you like theater, they have great plays.
I feel like you have to do like an afternoon tea if you can do
it. A really popular place is called Sketch and Tina and I went to
it and we loved it. You don't even have to like love tea.
Just get all the little stacks of pastries and sandwiches stuff and it's just like
a fun experience. I don't know myself, but my friend Wendy's over there
now. She's a traveling nurse that does demos, and so she was just
in Liverpool. And Wendy is a very down to earth person, just as
chill as you can be. And she is going to high Tea. She
is going to high Tea to be just for the experience. Exactly same kind
of a thing. Next one, Dave, I heard about your sty and
I have found that this complex work so much better than a warm wash claw.
You warm it in the microway for ten seconds and it stays warm for
ten to fifteen minutes. It helped mine go away faster, A loyal listener
in Milwaukee from Stacy. Stacy, I actually ordered it off of Amazon,
thank you very much. I was just in the kitchen a minute ago and
holding the warm, wet cloth up to my eye, and somebody came in,
who's here for an interview? And they said, you get a sty
don't you know? I said, yeah. He's like, man, I
get them all the time, and so everybody has their recommendations. But I
appreciate that definitely very much. Okay, next one. I can't believe I'm
writing this. This is a good one for you, fal and you're ready.
I can't believe I'm writing this, but I'm going on a mini trip
with a new boyfriend of one month. This is very important to remember this
and I can't believe my luck. Tm I but sometimes I have a very
small hemorrhoid, barely noticeable. But for some reason, things have escalated and
definitely can't be ignored. I've done the treatments for five days and still not
good. Things will definitely be getting hot and heavy, and now I think
you need I need to tell him because he won't be in that exact area,
but definitely planned on being very nearby. I even have a wax planned.
Ugh, how do I approach this? I am stressing, which doesn't
help. I love you guys and just had to ask for advice. Thank
you for not using my name. And they do have a very unique name,
so I'm glad I didn't read that. I think one thing that's important.
Have you been together with him physically before? But even so if you
have, it's still new, and you don't want to say I got a
hamorrhoid. You want to be careful down there. Yeah, I mean if
you've tried everything, you're drinking all of your water, getting your fiber,
you know. I think if you are comfortable enough to go on a weekend
get away, then you can have the awkward conversation. But you I would
just do it like in a way that you kind of did, like say,
hey, I'm really embarrassed. This isn't going to affect anything, but
I just am insecure about this. This isn't a permanent thing. It'll go
away, but this is I have this. It's not going to affect us.
Still want to hook up. I hope it doesn't affect you. I
think that they're grows out by it, then that's a good look at that
kind of person, like, get over it. Well, true, but
I think if you've never seen one before, and it depends how old you
are. If you're twenty two, maybe he's never seen one before. Ye
if he's forty two, then he's probably seen one before, has one himself,
and it is a little surprising. The first time I saw one was
like, whoa, what's that? I didn't know what it was. I
just thought it was a weird growth or something. Cling to the darkness.
You know, just only do it in the dark. I guess you can
do that too. Yes, good luck. Let us know how it goes
next one. Please don't use my name. Thanks for saying that upfront.
We hosted a client appreciation event this weekend, and why I ask people multiple
times please RSVP so I could have a proper headcount for food. Forty eight
hours before the event, I had seventy s so I shopped and planned accordingly.
In the twenty four hours before the event, twenty eight more people RSVP.
That's twenty eight My husband said, Well, they didn't run RSVP U
till the last minute. They can come, but no food, I said,
we can't do that because it'd be weird and rude. And he said,
well them not RSVPN is weird and rude. I had to agree with
them. I've hosted a baby in bridal shower in the last year, and
both of those I had a hard time getting people to actually RSVP. They
all still showed up to the actual event, but did an RSVP. Whenever
I'm invited to something, I literally email or text my RSVP within five minutes
of receiving it and added to my calendar. So are people just not wanting
to commit to something, or are they lazy and they can't take sixty seconds
to RSVP? Or what is it? I don't know. Combination. I
would guess combination. Everyone that's ever been married has dealt with this. It
is so frustrated. That's why when I got e Whites you know, wedding
rsup, I immediately RSVP because I'm like, they don't want to deal with
that, you know what I mean? Let them know either way. I
don't know what people are like that, but people always will be apparently.
Yeah, I think that. I think I RSVP to E White's wedding,
and I don't know for sure that I'm going to go now because it's in
Duluth. And you guys said you're having trouble finding hotel rooms that are close
by. Didn't you say that you're driving up and coming back right in the
same day. No. Yeah, they're expensive. The hotels, they are
really expensive. Number one. And the one that I found that had an
opening, you have to do a two night minimum. I'm not staying there
for two nights. Ye got it. So I just got an airbnb in
Superior because Duluth has such limited airbnb's they only allow so many permits. Next
one day. First of all, love your show. I was listening to
the podcast to day. I heard you say that Prior Lake is this Coon
Rapids of lakes. It might have been ten or fifteen years ago, and
I'll bet that's what it is been this real turn said that is the Coon
Rapids of Lakes. But a lot has changed during the last five to ten
years. Been a lot of teardowns and new houses being built. We have
lived on the lake for about five years now and we absolutely love it.
I can't say enough good things about our neighborhood, and we love the small
town feel of Prior Lake, even though it's not small. I think you
guys would love it anyway. My husband and I are both airline pilots and
love hearing your flying stories and comments. Keep up the great work. We
love your show and listen every morning. That is so cool that you and
your husband are both airline pilots. I would that would my god, I
would love to be married to an airline pilot. Don't get me wrong,
I love Susan blah blah blah, but that would be so cool to be
married to somebody was such an interesting career and the fact that you're both airline
pilots, that question is so cool. Do you get to see each other
very often? Because my friend's husband, who is a high level airline pilot
for Delta, I think he misses a lot because, especially with the shortage
of pilots right now, he is like always on call, it seems like,
and has to travel. So with both of you, do you get
to see each other very often? That's a very very good question, So
let us know do you could see each other? And how cool is that
when you're talking about like the voars and the Dames and things like that,
that people know what you're talking about. I think that's awesome. Next one,
this is from Chow. Chow writes in about once a week, and
we really appreciate that. One. Chow says last Friday, I was listening
to the podcast from that morning getting my second tattoo. Problem is, I
was only able to remember about five percent of what you guys mentioned on the
show as I was in pain for four plus hours, so I had to
listen to the podcast over again. Attached It's a picture of my new tattoo.
It's a shield with a food dog on my chest. The food dog
represents guardian and protection. I wish I could show it to you, but
it is a very intricate, beautiful tattoo and it is large. It has
taken up most of his chest. Yeah, so that is a good artist
right there. That is super cool because the shading is I don't know anything
about art or tattoo, but that is really beautiful. So good for you
couple. Actually, last one, here we go, second time writer to
the Minnesota Goodbye the first email. You titled the episode based off my email.
How cool. I love the bit this morning about I don't want to
go because I think it's very relatable. You should try the opposite, what
are you looking forward to? Kind of heartwarming and it's fun to hear about
fun things that people are planning and saving for, etc. Okay, so
I think I'm a decently funny human, maybe slightly awkward until you get to
know me. So last night I took her four month old puppy Bear,
who's a bernardoodle, to his first puppy class. They were taking attendance called
out by dog name, and instead of responding present or here, I said
woof and silence, no laughs. Funny or not funny? I thought it
was a good one. Yeah, and then I quickly followed it up with
sorry, bears a little shy l ol. I think it is funny.
It is. I think people we're probably nervous and probably like a little bit
self conscious being around new people. Lastly, I appreciate that Fallen did the
deep Dive on Tracy Chapman's song, and also that the original still plays.
I've never heard of that song before, not even knowing it was a remake,
but after hearing the deep Dive and Tracy's version, I was in tears.
This song just hits differently. I know Fallen was debated on do it
because of the Big boss Man. Might have been happy, might not have
been happy to hear an old song in the radio, but I'm so glad.
Happy hump Day y'all from Jackie. First of all, Jackie, I'm
glad you liked the bit today about I don't want to go. I don't
remember what inspired that yesterday, but there's a I think I said to Jenny,
there's something I don't want to go. I don't want to go.
Oh, it was probably the gym, because I've going to the gym yesterday
and I don't want to go to the gym. But every time I go
to the gym, I'm really glad that I did. I said, Jenny,
let's do a bit tomorrow. Call I don't want to go, and
I'll bet a lot of people will call in. And we had a ton
of people calling in. I don't want to go, and I think it's
good to be able to admit I don't want to go to my sister's wedding
shower, baby shower. Don't want to go the Tracy Chapman song. I
was talking about this earlier. I think it's so tragic yet hopeful that she's
got a bum of a boyfriend, and she thinks if they try to get
ahead, she'll try to get ahead, he'll do the same, and they'll
get out of the shelter and live in the suburbs. But he is still
a shitthead and he doesn't do anything, and he parties and drinks and she
does all the work, but she's still hopeful. It makes me sad because
you know, she talks about like growing up in Ohio or whatever, and
it's like everyone's kind of the same. That's how I feel, like,
not always, but like a lot of the time where I'm from, and
it's like a lower income, kind of poverty ish level. I mean,
they're definitely people that do really well, but they do you see, the
people they want to get out, they want to break the cycle, and
then they end up start they date someone that ends up being just like their
dad, and they never break the cycle, and it continues to the next
generation and the next generation. And so also a very relatable song for where
I grew up as well. Yeah, I thought that was interesting. I
just remember when that song came out. It was about nineteen eighty nine or
so, and she came out of nowhere. She only had the one hit
and it was just a really powerful song. So I'm glad you did the
deep dive and that was awesome. And that is it for the Minnesota goodbye.
If you want to comment, I think we're done commenting on Prior Lake.
So you sent me straight. You sent me straight on Prior Lake,
and I do appreciate that one because Prior Lake is no longer considered like a
gross suburb. But not that it ever was. But if you want to
comment on anything from dating with hemorrhoids that yeah, oh my god, it
reminded me. I forget where I read this years ago. But people who
have herpies, they'll set up like a vacation to go on, Like let's
say you're gonna go to Chicago for the weekend or whatever, and if you
have herpies sometimes it will be brought on by stress. So people will say,
yep, sure enough, I got a week along get away or a
weekend get away with my boyfriend. First time we're going to hook up.
We're going Chicago, and I've got her piece. It's like, I don't
know what you do? What do you what do you do? Yeah?
I mean you don't really want to have sex while you have herpes. So
let's entitle this episode Herpies. What's gonna call it Prior Lake. Let's call
it priyor Lake. That's probably a whole lot better, really quick unpopular opinion.
Yeah, I've decided I don't like Chicago. Oh tell me why I
don't get it. I've been there now a handful of times, and I
think I'm missing what is so cool about Chicago. I've done the architectural boat
tour, I've seen the bean, I've had pizza. What else is there
to do in Chicago? I've been the Navy Pier. I feel like you
are there. I mean, I've been in the museum. Are there more
than five things to do there? I'm not in this that one. That
statement is just a triggering thing. But if I was picking a big city,
I would not pick Chicago. Pick New York because like I think of
like New York. It's like there are great Broadway shows and like Central Park,
and like, I don't know, I don't I don't get Chicago.
I don't disagree with you. I've been Chicago does and times or so half
a dozen times, but every time I've been it's been for an event.
I went there for the Rolling Stones concert, and you have a few hours
to spare, so you go down the Miracle Mile and go shopping and then
you get your picture by the bean. And that's actually kind of like dirty.
The Miracle Mile is like not. It didn't used to be I think,
I think it used to be nice, but now it's like a lot
of the cities are dirty. Alison and I went there to go see Oklahoma
when she was about twelve, so about twenty years ago, and we went
to get dinner and we went down the Miracle Mile, and but we had
the show to go to. We went to Oklahoma, so we had an
event to go to. I was there a year ago for Morning the Morning
Show convention and we went to Navy Pier. Navy Pier is unremarkable to me.
There's nothing remarkable about Navy Pier. There's a giant ferris wheel. Okay,
that's cool. It's a giant ferris wheel. But we didn't go on
the lake boat tour. We didn't go in the architecture tour. I think
we hopped on one of those buses that drives around and says that's where Missus
O'Leary's cow kicked over the lantern started the fire. But no, I don't
disagree. I will only say that maybe I just haven't been pointed in the
right direction. Yeah, maybe I'm like, obviously, I'm not going to
go to the party scene, and I don't care about baseball, so I
don't need to go to like Wrigley Field or whatever. But I think that's
it. I think that's it you. I think you go to Chicago,
you have to have an event and everything else. There is kind of a
cool backdrop. Yeah, I guess. No, I don't know. Maybe
somebody's gonna call it a popular opinion though. Yeah, no, that's fine.
Let me know if we're wrong about that. Send emails to Ryan Show
at KDWB dot com and we'll see you next time.
