Happy Pie Day from the Minnesota Goodbye. PI Day is three point one four
and March fourteenth, so we gave away pizzas today from Carboni's. That was
kind of fun. I got an email. One of the first ones on
the Minnesota Goodbye, Jenny is about hold on and make sure we got volume
here on the Minnesota Goodbye, because I had that volume turned down. Well,
I think we had volume. Let me just check something here. Interesting,
Hello, check, hello, and interesting. If I turn those mikes
down, they still work. Okay, Well good, I'm glad we're recording
and we should be good to go. So here's our first email on the
Minnesota Goodbye. It says, thanks so much for the free pizza today from
Christy. My grandpa's a retired math professor, and he was so proud of
me. I wish I knew more than three point one four, But I'm
no mensumember. She brings that up because you know, I don't want to
brag because I'm in the high IQ club. Mensa. You have to keep
that for a long time, Like, is that for a lifetime time?
Well? Yeah, when I think when you're in, you are in for
life. You don't have to retest but you can also purchase a lifetime membership,
which you can still. I don't know, but I bought the lifetime
membership and I was so proud of it because I didn't get a college four
year degree, and a lot of people would say, well, you don't
know what you're talking about. I went to college. You didn't go to
college. So I'm like, fuck you, bitch. I'm in mensa.
Yeah, so I don't bust it out as often as I used to,
but you know, here and there she goes out to say, it was
curious how far Dave knows pie without cheating three point one four one five nine
two six five four. And I only remember that because I had a calculator
that went to that many digits. So if you push the pie button three
point one four one five nine two six five four. Finally, this won't
translate well in your podcast, but attached to photo of one of my daughter's
favorite shirts featuring a pizza pie. Let's scroll down, and it is a
pie or pizza pie dripping cheese in the shape of the figure a pie.
Okay, do you know what the figure a pie looks like? Um?
I don't. It looks like a table with two legs. Oh yeah,
that one having a tea with two stems and it's got pizza thought is very
clever. Thank you, Christy, Minnesota. Goodbye. Next one, Rebecca
says, I'm listening to the nine am hour, the March twelfth Morning Show
podcast on Apple Podcast. Just want to tell you that, even though we're
not talking about ads breaking in anymore, when you were doing jingles, Dave
says, here's one every American knows, and then immediately commercial begins Lucky Land
Casino, asking people what's the weirdest place you've gotten lucky. I haven't recorded,
but I'm not sure the best way to share the ten second video clip.
It's a little too large to email. Had to laugh. Maybe it
was placed there on purpose. Thanks for the daily fun, Rebecca. I
recognize you from your profession. She is a caff and hefer nutrition specialist and
she's written in before. I'm not surprised it was totally random. Yeah,
I don't know why you would think on doesn't Apple podcast usually do a better
job of filtering at unnecessary ads? I don't know what which ones are the
most problematic that people listen to. Okay, uh, next one? Hey,
Besti's I was catching up on the podcast. Dave said, you need
some emails or politics. It is no Dave. If I get enough of
that at home, let me give you a subject. Boogers. Oh I
can't wait, Dana says, I was at work. I work in them
out a medical field during doing home care and travel eighty to one hundred and
forty miles a day seeing patients. Naturally, you get a piece throughout the
day. And let me tell you, if there ain't a quick trip close
by, I'm usually screwed. Ninety five percent of the time. There's fucking
boggers all over the stalls. What the fuck is wrong with people? The
toilet paper is right fucking there. I try not to look going. I
just hurry up and pee and get out. Don't look, don't look shit,
I looked ew. Why don't these nasty bitches pick their nose in traffic
in their car like normal people. Sorry for the nasty subject, but better
than politics. Ah right, She signs off, have a great weekend from
Dana. I didn't know that women did this too. As a man,
I always assume that women are much more clean in the bathroom than men are.
I've walked into the men's room here at least once and seen a big
booger wiped on the wall right in front of the right by the urinal,
and I'm like, who does this? What? Adult male picks his nose
and wipes it there, not for strangers to see, but for his coworkers
to see. It's strange to me. The women's restroom here is, for
the most part, very clean, minus some things that might remain in the
toilet. Yeah, but outside of that, I have never seen anything that's
not it's a very clean bathroom. I would tell you a story about and
a booger encounter, but it's so disgusting that I don't want to tell you.
If you ever want to know and you see me in person, I'll
tell you, But I don't want to tell you right now. Okay,
Dave and Jennay. After listening to the Emo three mo yesterday, I had
to share my exciting plans and maybe give Dave a reason to use some of
those vacation days. Simple plan is playing at Epcot for four days in May.
I'm going specifically to see him. They play three times each night,
and I might watch all three if my eight year old allows it. My
mom got his free flights for through her work. So it's slightly less insane
than it sounds. Love you, guys. I already have a staff writer
sticker proudly displayed on my car. That's cool. I don't know that i'd
be able to make it, but I'm already okay. I was at the
Chan Dinner Theater the other night watching Aaron do improf and I grew up back
in the seventies. Gordon Lightfoot, the guy who did the Wreck of the
Edmund Fitzgerald and a bunch of other songs. You might not know he's dead
now, but there's a tribute act coming to the Chan Dinner Theater. So
I'm going to go see that. It's a tribute to Gordon Lightfoot. But
I also really want to go see Simple Plan and Avril Levine at the Armory.
I thought you got tickets already. Did you not buy yet? No?
Not yet. Well, we probably have some tickets at the station you
could get show, really, I would think, so I'll have to ask
about that one. I mean, we still play Avril Levine every once in
a while on KATIEWB. Definitely not a Simple Plan that only comes up when
we do like an email remost situation. But at the same time, I
don't know if that concert would be sold out or not, because those are
both pretty big acts. Still, they're retro acts. I guess you can
tell it nowadays, but yeah, I don't know. I mean I would,
I can ask I Candance for sure. Uh, we're going to delete
and we're gonna hit the lead on that one, and I'm gonna save that
one for the radio. Here we go, my favorite Dart liquors. I
know we talked a lot about airplane etiquette. However, I needed to mention
something I thinking about while on a plane. So apparently they're writing this on
a plane. So I'm sitting in a window seat that I picked to sit
in. There's a man in the middle seat who is larger than average,
So he is sitting with his broad shoulders spreading way into my seat and into
the aisle seat. On a full flight, obviously, there is no place
for him to go besides the seat he's in. Here's where people are gonna
rip me apart. It ain't my problem that he doesn't fit in his own
seat. He has made some kind of poor decisions in his life that cause
him to be large. Sure, he could have a disability. Blah blah
blah. But seriously, if a carry on bag doesn't fit in the overhead
bin properly, it's got to be checked. No if sands or butts.
Why can't the humans be much too large for their designated space he doesn't fit
in his bin, so to speak? Or why can humans beuch too large
to fit in their seats? Should he have to buy two seats or pay
for first clas or at a minimum, choose a seat that he's not in
the freaking middle. If somebody doesn't fit in an amusement park ride, they
can't ride the ride. It sucks. I get it. Maybe airlines need
similar rules. I'd rather be dart licking, Courtney. So she's on the
airplane as she writes this, and she says, I'd rather be dart licking,
which means she either loves doing that or she doesn't like it, but
she'd rather be doing it. I think it's the latter, probably right.
We flew back from Hawaii a couple of weeks ago, and on the return
flight we were in first class and a giant man, I mean probably four
hundred and fifty pounds sat across the aisle from me, and I thought he
had to buy a first class ticket because there's no way he can sit in
a regular airline seat. I do think because we're bigger than we've ever been,
and more accepting a fat than we've ever been, that they probably should
have a couple of seats on an airliner that are biger In other words,
they take out the arm rest and they put in one arm rest and two
seats to accommodate bigger people, maybe in a couple of rows. What do
you think I mean, I think that that would definitely be helpful. That's
a lot of work to do on every single plane that exists, though,
so I don't know if that's I feel though, like the money might be
worth it to invest in something like that versus the complaint emails that the companies
probably get when they do have someone stuck in that situation and they're upset and
they're demanding a refund or whatever. I think I've never had a refund.
I've definitely had somebody who was very large and spilled over, and they tried
really hard to lean away from me. I think they might have been in
the I don't remember, but they tried very hard to keep their body to
themselves, and I appreciate that, but it's still, you know, it's
kind of annoying. But at the same time, I felt bad for the
guy. You know, I've got fat friends. I don't go I'm not
going to be your friend just because you're fat. That's not it at all.
But it is annoying when a stranger is big and spilling over because it's
just it's intrusive and it's not fair. All right. Next one, somebody
by the way just said they saw Olivia Rodrigo's tour bus at the Courtyard in
Bloomington. Do you think that's possible that she'd be here this early? Well,
the Mall of America is doing a promotion with her tour bus there.
Oh, tell me about this. I didn't know this. I'm going to
have to look it up because I don't know the exact detailed. It's not
Olivia in it. Oh really, but I think there's something going on.
I'd have to do some research though to tell you that information. All right,
Well, I was all excited for a minute. Okay. Next one,
it is Alexus and she says, you guys are all such beautiful people
inside it out, I appreciate all that you guys do, and appreciate you
all for being your true selves. I'm a home healthcare worker, so I'm
driving quite a bit through the day. Oh this is our second one.
Today I listened to the morning show, The Minnesota Goodbye, and I've still
I've recently started listening to I'm Still Fun with Fallon and Jenny. Love it
all. Try to keep it short and sweet. Just know you guys so
touch so many people's lives, and I've enjoyed every second listening to you guys
during my day. I so appreciate that my main topic of conversation. My
partner and I recently got accepted for a house. We have an inspection set
up for this Friday, and everything seems to be promising. We officially close
in April. That's exciting. I'm so happy for you. I would like
some suggestions, opinions, and tips for being first time homeowners. It's all
very exciting but also nerve wracking. I'm sure many have stories and oh shit
moments from their first homes. I would love to hear from them. Do
offer some insight, so please let us know what would you tell her.
I'm the first to say is meet your neighbors. Go down the street,
meet your neighbors, say hi, Because I know some people who have moved
into a neighborhood they've never bothered to meet their neighbors. And it's just great
if you are out of town and you need somebody to feed your cat or
get your mail, or for example, maybe if you're I mean, I'm
trying to think of another circumstance, like Susan's not answering her phone and I'm
really worried about her, Tracy, can you run across the street, knock
on the door and make sure Susan's okay? And I've done that before,
and it takes a good neighbor to do that. Meet your meet. A
few of them go to the neighborhood events. I know sometimes you're like me,
you'd rather stay home, but go to your neighborhood events. We never
have any fame that. Yeah, we don't have neighborhood events when they do
the National Night Out or whatever it is. And I think August our block
doesn't do anything, and so we're thinking about popping down to the blocks that
do do it, like a couple roads down because we're like, we want
to meet some people. But I would also say, don't be the neighbors
that don't maintain your house signyard and sidewalks and stuff, because I go for
walks pretty frequently, even in the winter, and it's man, it's so
frustrating walking down the street three doors down and there's snow packed on and it's
icy sidewalks and stuff, and I'm walking like cautiously the entire time. So
don't be the neighbors who don't shovel. That's a really good tip. I
really, I think that's a really good one. Don't be the neighbors who
ignore your lawn. You also do not have to have the nicest lawn.
I will also say keep your pets in your yard they're barking, and try
to bring them inside. Yep. I've had neighbors that do not keep their
pets in their yard, and it's like, Okay, I don't care if
your dog wanders into my yard, but when your dog takes up dump in
my yard, I mean, come on. Other than that, nothing,
Really, I think that you'll find some things in the house that you don't
like, like the old curtains or the old carpet. Sometimes you don't like
their old toilet or whatever. But you'll figure that out. I'm really happy
for you. I think that's great. Also a little suggestion for you,
Dave. I know you're training to climb Pike's Peak. Have you done the
Manitou Incline in Manitou Springs. It's not far out from Colorado Springs. I
did it last year and it kicked my ass, but it is such an
amazing feeling accomplishing it and one hell of a workout. Yes, I've done
it twice. The Manitou Incline is a very, very steep incline railway bed
that was there for one hundred years and then a mud slide washed it out
back in the eighties. But it's straight up. It's no curves. It
goes straight up the side of an air They turned it into stairs. Yeah,
so it used to be just a washed out railroad bed, but so
many people were climbing up it that they decided to the city put stairs in,
but not stairs like you think. Railroad eyes every few feet, so
it's like stairs, so you're not climbing and scrambling. But it is a
bitch. I've done it twice and I am not going up that way I'm
going up the more gentle Switchback trail. Oh. I didn't know that that
was part of Pike's Peak. Manitou Oh, Okay, Manique Springs is right
now Mount Manituc leans against Pike's Pope. Okay. So it's yeah, it's
it's it's so beautiful. And I was actually on an app called All Trails
yesterday previewing my hike, looking at the most steep parts and what are the
challenges and that type of thing. One of the hard parts I've heard is
that there's no water on the way up Pike's Peak, so you get to
carry all your own water if you have a camelback. I do have a
camelback, but talking to some people who've done it before, they're like,
a camelback is not enough. You're gonna need to take a canteen on your
belt or a water bottle on your belt and drink a lot of water because
what are you doing? You're Yeah, and the alligation in Colorado, which
I know you go to Colorado, So do you feel like you're more acclimated
to the elevation in Colorado? I do. Yeah. It hits me like
a brick wall when I go there. And we're going on a trip next
week to vail and stuff. And I've gotten elevation sickness multiple times before,
very common. A friend of mine and her cousin went stayed at my house
in Colorado. I actually married her and her husband, so her and her
husband have gone to stay at my house in Colorado. She went with her
cousin a couple of weeks ago, and all day for one day she had
altitude sicknass and was thrown up and headache and miserable. I'm going to go
stay in Leadville, Colorado, which is one of the highest cities in the
United States. I'm going to stay there for a week before I do my
climb. It's ten thousand feet, so that would get me acclimated. Anyway,
We're going to send you a staff writer sticker. Thank you, Alexis.
I'm going to hit the lead on that one. This one is a
little bit long, but I read through the whole thing and I'm going to
give some advice. Basically, they work in financial planning, and we were
talking about bankruptcy and consolidating debt. They are a previous banker, and they
said, I want to share some knowledge of what I've gained. I'm still
in finance, just a different kind. Consolidation loans are absolutely still around.
Most loans that cover consolidating debt are either personal loans and they can be used
for anything. And then they get into quite a few details, which gets
a little bit like deeper than we want to get. But I really like
the first their last paragraph. I want to warn clients, and I do
that it takes a lot of financial discipline to keep the spending from getting out
of control. Consolidating is not for everyone. If you're looking to get a
better handle at your finances, do a breakdown of all your monthly expenses rent,
utilities, gas, netflix, food, loans, insurance, and split
those into necessities and luxuries. If your monthly net income cannot cover those expenses,
make cuts. Challenge yourself by putting say five percent of your income into
a savings account if you can manage, or a certificate a deposit. Using
direct deposits a great way to make sure all your necessities recovered. My husband
and I have a rent account, loan account, and fund money account.
I don't touch the rent or loan accounts other than making sure they are not
overdrafted. Times are tough, though, and pockets are tight, so do
what you need to do to survive and get your bills paid. Bottom line,
don't buy what you can't pay back. If it's not in your bank
account, you can't afford it. I think that's really good advice. I've
always been like, even when I didn't make any money, I never spent
more than I earned. I just has never spend it that way. I
man, it's such a slippery slope when you get credit cards, though,
because then you think that you just have this money. But I've never I
did not get a credit card until two years ago. Your thirty, Yeah,
because I just thought it. I don't know. I didn't understand the
perks of credit cards. And I'm good with money, so it wasn't that
I was fearful of having a credit card. I just didn't really understand the
purpose. I was like, it's easy. Everything just gets taken out on
my debit card. I can see everything versus now I got to check multiple
accounts and whatever. But I have one now. They are They're a great
convenience if you need them or in an emergency. I remember when I was
a kid, my dad would not get a credit card and our car broke
down in the middle of nowhere and we had to get We somehow got into
town and we were at the airport and they would not take a personal check
to rent a car while our car was getting fixed. Dad had to convince
them to take a personal check to rent a car. Other than that,
we would have been stranded in Billings, Montana because he didn't have credit card.
So he talked him into taking a personal check, which was against their
rules, but they did because we were stuck otherwise. And when he got
home he got his first credit card because sometimes you need one. Next one.
I'm listening to the Minnesota Goodbye Fart Machine episode. I heard Jenny mentioned
her sister and about the commercial for a car dealership in Wisconsin on the I'm
Still Fun podcast, and I know that when I was streaming in Texas,
I've heard Texas dealerships and others down there. Not once did I hear the
chumb but casino like I do in Minnesota. So it really doesn't matter where
you are and what commercials commercials they're placing in. There must be some sort
of algorithm and not a human physically doing it. I haven't listed the radio
on the iHeart app for a long time, and I brought my boombox into
my home office instead because I wanted to hear traffic reports and local info and
not random crap that they are sticking in there. No idea about the political
commercials fortunately who anyway, just wanted to add that into the convo. Right,
love you all if you don't get the all right, it is the
training video for what was it Old Country Buffet and the guy that plays the
chef goes, how big of a piece of meat would you like? A?
Right? And it's just silly. So it's true. I know when
I'm online, like I'll go to Yahoo or bing, it'll somehow find out,
like you know, the weather in Colorado Springs or the weather in Albuquerque.
It knows where you are based on your I don't know your IP address.
Maybe I don't know. I think it does, but I can't understand
all that back end stuff. So I think that when you have your iHeartRadio
app open, it knows where you are and sends you localized ads. So
if you're in Ohio, you'll get an ad for an Ohio product or company.
All right, So grab another one? A right random question thought?
I would ask my besties on the radio. We had family over to grill
and hang out. The other weekend, I asked my mother in law to
bring a green salad. She brought coldslaw. I was thinking of vegetable,
leafy green salad. My question is, is coleslaw salad or does it fit
in the salads that aren't really salads like potato salad and jello salad. Also,
you should follow that midwestern mom. She is hilarious. She makes all
kinds of salads that aren't really salads. I'll look at her, that midwestern
mom. Let me know what you think. Coleslaw is a salad. To
me, it is Jenny, Oh no, I would never I'm on this
girls side. I would never have asked someone to bring a salad and they
brought coleslide be so upset. I also hate Coleslaws, So there's that.
I love Coleslaw. I don't like it. When I go to KFC,
I get whatever chicken along with the mashed potatoes and gravy and the coleslaw.
Yeah no, it's not not your thing. Okay, I'm gonna put this.
We're gonna put this on the website or on Facebook and I'm gonna forward
it to you, Jenny, and so we'll have some content. Is coleslaw
a salad? So thank you, Sarah. I like that. That's gonna
do it for the Minnesota Goodbye. I'm off to the gym. What are
you doing today, Jenny? Well, I have my fit club later,
so James Club Crew. We do once a month a little fun jim session
at Flight in Saint Louis Park and it is full for tonight, so I'm
excited to work out with everyone. But I will say that I attempted to
do a jump rope workout yesterday, only twenty minutes, and I got through
ten of it and I had to stop because I have been sick and it
was really hard, and so I'm I'm gonna have to take it very easy
tonight. I know, I awm, which is fine. Hi, gotcha?
I did. I ran five miles yesterday with only a couple of walk
breaks, and I want to tell you shout out to Josie, my fifteen
year old labradoodle. She kept right up. She did so good. I
think one of the reasons she's lived so long and so healthy is because she's
ran thousands of miles with her dad Over the years, Yeah, Aly,
and it's really kept her young and healthy. I'm also gonna mention on the
Minnesota Goodbye. My book release party is March twenty third at the Local in
Saint Louis Park and it goes from noon until There will be appetizers and free
non alcoholic drinks. Come by, buy the book, get it signed,
we'll get a selfie. Bring your kids. My book release is March twenty
third, noon until one thirty for Little Dave's Amazing Day. And that's it.
