Speaker 1: Minnesota. Goodbye, let's get started. Don't say a name. This
Speaker 1: one goes to Jenny Ready, Jenny, Yes, I'm getting my
Speaker 1: very first PAP smear today, Wednesday, February twelfth, and I'm
Speaker 1: scared as all living hell. I remember you talking on
Speaker 1: the show with mister know it All on Tavius Leek,
Speaker 1: who thinks that all girls are totally okay changing in
Speaker 1: front of people or being naked. But I am not,
Speaker 1: nor have I ever been one of those girls. I
Speaker 1: would never even take my shirt off in front of
Speaker 1: my best friend or even go to the bathroom with
Speaker 1: her in the same room. I just figure, since you're
Speaker 1: pretty open with gross stuff on the show in the
Speaker 1: Minnesota Goodbye, I thought you might be able to help me, Jenny.
Speaker 1: If you end up reading this email, lmao. Anyway, the
Speaker 1: thought of having a total stranger anywhere near my badge
Speaker 1: is horrifying to me. So can you please please tell
Speaker 1: me what to expect and how to survive this gross
Speaker 1: milestone moment, Any tips, words of wisdom, a holy blessing,
Speaker 1: maybe maybe just take my place? Thanks, pray for me.
Speaker 1: Don't say my name.
Speaker 2: You're going to be totally fine. So you get to
Speaker 2: change without anyone in the room. So you'll probably put
Speaker 2: on a robe or something that like covers you halfway.
Speaker 2: And I think most girls do their best to keep
Speaker 2: yourself covered because it'll like tie in the back or something. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so you get up on the table, you lay there,
Speaker 2: you wait awkwardly for fifteen minutes for the guy to
Speaker 2: collogists to come in, and then they have you put
Speaker 2: your feet up and spread them apart on these little
Speaker 2: holders I forget what they're.
Speaker 3: Called stirrups yep.
Speaker 2: And then they go in and they do what they
Speaker 2: have to do super quick. It really doesn't take long
Speaker 2: at all. And then you put your legs down and
Speaker 2: that's like the end of it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's not comfortable, though, I will say that it's
Speaker 4: like not uncomfortable, but it is just weird.
Speaker 2: Every woman's vagina is built differently, so I think it
Speaker 2: actually like I don't know, like the way you angle
Speaker 2: and stuff, it is different for every single woman. I
Speaker 2: would say that, yes, it is uncomfortable, but it goes
Speaker 2: very very quick.
Speaker 3: Yes, then you're.
Speaker 1: Done because it's a swab on the end of a
Speaker 1: cotton a stick. Right, they have to use this like
Speaker 1: metal like the speculum. Yeah, speculum.
Speaker 2: I'm trying to do my best to not use words
Speaker 2: like metal hitch for this woman.
Speaker 1: Who is it's I mean, it's a it's like a
Speaker 1: little spreader. It's like a little thing that goes in
Speaker 1: and you like, I mean, I've seen one before. I
Speaker 1: think somebody brought one into the radio station as a
Speaker 1: joke one time, and it's like, you know, it's loubed
Speaker 1: and it's comfortable. You're right, I don't know that it's
Speaker 1: comfort definitely.
Speaker 4: It's looped, so it goes in fine. But then I
Speaker 4: mean when I say the heavy open, yeah.
Speaker 1: It's rough, let it all out.
Speaker 2: I've had so many pasmears and I feel like, uh,
Speaker 2: I still clench down there as it's happening, you know,
Speaker 2: like it's just your natural response to something being inside.
Speaker 3: Of you like that.
Speaker 2: But it's not super different than putting in a tampon
Speaker 2: and then kind of having it spread open a little bit.
Speaker 2: It's not spreading you out to like pop a baby
Speaker 2: out or anything like that. I'm not trying to put
Speaker 2: that kind of fear into you. It just has to
Speaker 2: be spread a tiny bit for the doctor to be
Speaker 2: able to go in with a swab and get like
Speaker 2: a a sample.
Speaker 1: I think that her part from reading her email, I
Speaker 1: think a lot of her fear is being naked and
Speaker 1: vulnerable in front of somebody. Remember this is the girl
Speaker 1: who couldn't take off her shirt I feel in front
Speaker 1: of like a friend when she was a kid. I
Speaker 1: don't like being naked in front of my doctor when
Speaker 1: it's like time for a hernia check. Guys have to
Speaker 1: pull their pants down and the doctor grabs their doo
Speaker 1: dads and you know, you cough and whatever. I don't
Speaker 1: like it.
Speaker 5: I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't like it.
Speaker 6: No, I don't think anyone would like it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, and I still feel uncomfortable, even though
Speaker 1: the doctor, you got to figure they gave they could
Speaker 1: give a crap. They just it's to them. It's like
Speaker 1: they do it fifteen times a day. They don't care.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you really are covered most of the time.
Speaker 2: So if you're fearful of like having to be naked
Speaker 2: in front of the doctor, you're really not. It's just
Speaker 2: like you have to do the PAP, like the actual
Speaker 2: sample part. So yeah, they're looking at your vagina at
Speaker 2: that point, but it goes quick and then they'll do
Speaker 2: a breast exam.
Speaker 3: You barely like are naked for that point.
Speaker 4: They don't even I feel like every time I've gotten one,
Speaker 4: they go underneath the little robe that you're wearing, and
Speaker 4: then when they got the pap smear itself, they gave
Speaker 4: me like a blanket to put over my legs as
Speaker 4: I was laid back in the stirrups. I do say, though,
Speaker 4: like my piece of advice, if you're really worried about it.
Speaker 6: Is to request a female gynecologist.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, most of them are now, yeah.
Speaker 6: I remember my first one.
Speaker 4: I did have a man come in and I said
Speaker 4: I would not get examined by a man, and then
Speaker 4: they were like, okay, fine, and then they sent it
Speaker 4: a woman and it was totally fine. They're like cool
Speaker 4: with that. So if you're really worried about it, just
Speaker 4: ask for a woman.
Speaker 2: But you might already have that like set because a
Speaker 2: lot of people, when you make your doctor's appointment, you
Speaker 2: know who you're going to be seen.
Speaker 3: But guess I have always gone to a woman as well.
Speaker 2: I would not go to a man, but I purposely
Speaker 2: like made sure to make an appointment with a woman.
Speaker 1: I don't think that men normally become gynecologists anymore, h anymore,
Speaker 1: because I think that there's such a I don't want
Speaker 1: to use the word discrimination, but a preference for female guynecologists.
Speaker 1: But I will say a lot of doctors delivering babies
Speaker 1: I think are still men. But I also met on
Speaker 1: Booty cruise. I almost said, a boatload, a handful like
Speaker 1: six female guyos who all listened to katiewb And there
Speaker 1: they were on Booty Cruise. The amazing thing about is
Speaker 1: they were all youngish, none of them were over thirty five.
Speaker 1: And this was Tennis years ago, and it was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: we're all guyos and I'm like, wow, you guys delivered
Speaker 1: be Yeah, we listened to you guys in the delivery
Speaker 1: room and I'm like, wow, okay, that's kind of cool.
Speaker 6: Well, good luck with your paps, mirror, you got it.
Speaker 2: You've got it to go quicker than you think. The
Speaker 2: worst part is waiting for the doctor to come in
Speaker 2: as you're sitting there, like in the awkward hospital gown thing.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and then you're like that.
Speaker 1: Is the worst. I mean, I think for any procedure.
Speaker 1: I remember when I had, god what I had a
Speaker 1: colonosca be done a year or so ago and they
Speaker 1: were running behind no pun intended, so you got your
Speaker 1: robe on your bare ass. Under the robe, they get
Speaker 1: an IV in use so they can shoot you up
Speaker 1: with whatever when they need to. And I remember Fox
Speaker 1: nine was plane silently and I didn't have the volume control.
Speaker 1: So I sat there for probably an hour and a
Speaker 1: half waiting with an IV in my arm, naked under
Speaker 1: the robe, watching Fox nine with no audio. Just the worst.
Speaker 1: Next one, here we go, Lucas question for pilot Dave. Dave,
Speaker 1: what causes an airplane to have more or less smoke emission?
Speaker 1: Or does it depend on the weather? I only asked
Speaker 1: because I looked out my back window and saw this
Speaker 1: in the sky, and I didn't know if it's like
Speaker 1: a car, where usually more smoke is being admitted the
Speaker 1: oil is bad in the engine. How come this usually
Speaker 1: occurs or seen in smaller planes. So basically what he's
Speaker 1: showing is a vapor trail or a contrail. And this
Speaker 1: is what this is kind of funny because you see
Speaker 1: him in the sky all the time. If you look
Speaker 1: up on a clear blue you're going to see a white, long,
Speaker 1: mostly straight cloud coming out of the back of an airplanel.
Speaker 1: It's not smoke. It is a condensation in the same
Speaker 1: way if you take a cup of hot coffee outside,
Speaker 1: it will steam. It's really cold at altitude. At altitude
Speaker 1: right now, I could look up on a weather app
Speaker 1: right now, just look it up for fun.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Are you saying, those aren't chemicals in the sky
Speaker 4: that are noisoning all of us?
Speaker 1: Sorry, No, they are not chemicals. They are not chem trails.
Speaker 1: Let me see if I can find the weather at altitude,
Speaker 1: and I don't know if I know where to look anymore. No, okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: here we go. Okay, right now, in Minnesota it is
Speaker 1: minus eighteen degrees celsius, and that's about zero degrees I think.
Speaker 1: But if you go up to what does an aircraft
Speaker 1: fly at about thirty six thousand feet, it's minus fifty
Speaker 1: four degrees celsius. Wow, So type in what is minus
Speaker 1: fifty four degrees celsius in fahrenheit and you'll see how
Speaker 1: freaking cold it is. And the reason I bring it
Speaker 1: up is because it's so cold up there that if
Speaker 1: you if the hot engine and the exhaust of the
Speaker 1: engine turns to steam right away.
Speaker 4: Yeah, negative sixty five point two, yes, fahrenheit.
Speaker 1: So that's how cold. It is up at like airplane's altitude. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so when it flies over, that's not chemicals or smoke.
Speaker 1: That's basically just the hot air, the same way that
Speaker 1: when you breathe outside on a cold bank nice. So
Speaker 1: you know exactly right. Brandon Wright Sin says, my husband
Speaker 1: did this and basically found out he almost dies all
Speaker 1: night long, spending more time not breathing than breathing. I
Speaker 1: already told him this. He stopped breathing. It says O
Speaker 1: V times an hour. I think that's a TYPEO. We
Speaker 1: were talking about getting a c PAP, yes, and he says,
Speaker 1: get a sleep study, yes, because I can't sleep on
Speaker 1: my back and I want to be able to sleep
Speaker 1: on my back, but I snore and I can't wake up.
Speaker 1: I can't can't get to sleep. The sleep study was
Speaker 1: so easy. He went picked up the kit and wore
Speaker 1: it overnight. It's a chest strap and a recording device,
Speaker 1: a finger clip for oxygen and pulse and air tubes
Speaker 1: that rest in your nostrils. You wear it overnight and
Speaker 1: bring it back the next day. The actual machine when
Speaker 1: you get diagnosed is so quiet, and it changed both
Speaker 1: of our lives. Worst case, you do the test and
Speaker 1: you find out you just snore a bit dine in
Speaker 1: the middle of the night because of it would be
Speaker 1: a super lame way to go. The results of his
Speaker 1: see sleep quality and his Apple Watch are a night
Speaker 1: and day difference. Now, so if you're snoring or have
Speaker 1: sleep happening, a lot of people don't even know it,
Speaker 1: but they're tired. They're so tired, Yeah, because they wake
Speaker 1: up like, you know, twenty times an hour or one
Speaker 1: hundred times an hour, because their throat closes and they
Speaker 1: you know, like kind of snap back away.
Speaker 6: Yeah, for even a moment, which is why they probably
Speaker 6: don't realize.
Speaker 1: It right exactly. Okay, thank you Brandon for that one.
Speaker 1: Let's go to Wanita. You guys ready for Oneita?
Speaker 2: Yes, Billy and I got to thank She sent us
Speaker 2: a little gift in the mail and it was a
Speaker 2: bunch of like kind of protect herself like spray defense
Speaker 2: kind of.
Speaker 6: That doesn't mean her flashlight.
Speaker 1: It's a night little bag.
Speaker 5: For you.
Speaker 1: And then if you'l like an alarm, alarm or something.
Speaker 6: All these kind of personal defense do dads.
Speaker 3: Okay, So thank you.
Speaker 1: Cam sitting the board up to record one Needa to
Speaker 1: make sure it works. Correctly, and here we go unscreened.
Speaker 1: Here is one Nita's rent for the day.
Speaker 7: Hey, one need to hear. So this week's rent is
Speaker 7: about launder shoots. So back when I was growing up,
Speaker 7: our house had a launder shoot. So whenever you have
Speaker 7: all your dirty clothes, just take your dirty clothes and
Speaker 7: throw them down a launder shoot into the laundery room,
Speaker 7: and then you can go downstairs to the laundry room
Speaker 7: and wash your clothes. When we first moved here to Minnesota,
Speaker 7: in the first house we bought in Coon Rapids had
Speaker 7: a launder chute. Therefore, you just throw your clothes down
Speaker 7: the laundry chute, you go downstairs and you wash. You
Speaker 7: don't have to come. You don't have to go running
Speaker 7: down the stairs with big baskets of dirty clothes. So
Speaker 7: nowadays I don't see them anymore, Dave. We don't have
Speaker 7: the big mansion that you have out there in chan happening,
Speaker 7: but we do have a four.
Speaker 1: Level home out here in Andover.
Speaker 7: So all the bedrooms are on the first floor, the
Speaker 7: three bedrooms on the first floor, and guess where the
Speaker 7: fucking laundry room is, all the way down on the
Speaker 7: fourth level in the basement. So when you have a
Speaker 7: because a full of dirty clothes, you have to take
Speaker 7: the baskets all the way from the first floor all
Speaker 7: the way down to the four fourth floor.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 7: So now you might think, well, why don't you just
Speaker 7: have your kids do the laundry. Well, my son, whenever
Speaker 7: he washes, he washes one shirt, one pair of pants,
Speaker 7: three tide pods. He doesn't realize that he almost fucking
Speaker 7: lost his life when I found that out, So he's
Speaker 7: not allowed to wash. My husband, when he washes clothes,
Speaker 7: he'll put in four different colors, but when he comes out,
Speaker 7: when it comes out the machine, everything is the same
Speaker 7: fucking collar. So he's not allowed to wash anymore either.
Speaker 7: So it's just me and my daughter that washes. But
Speaker 7: it would make it so fucking convenient if there was
Speaker 7: a laundry shoot that way, then we have to take
Speaker 7: the baskets all the way downstairs at the laundering roome.
Speaker 7: Fucking pisses me off. On Jenny Bailey, I hope you
Speaker 7: all got your gifts. I hope you like it. It
Speaker 7: keeps you safe. But that's my rant for this week.
Speaker 7: Love you guys, bye.
Speaker 1: B uh, thank you, and Nita. Yeah, laundry shoots, I
Speaker 1: think became a thing maybe last century, but a lot
Speaker 1: of newer homes it's the laundry is on the bedroom floor. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so if you live, you know, like on the second level,
Speaker 1: your laundry is right up there by your closet.
Speaker 6: Because God has a laundry shoot.
Speaker 1: It's great, very cool.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I don't know why they originally when when they put
Speaker 1: in like washer dryers in homes, they were always in
Speaker 1: the basement, like mine is on the ground floor. But
Speaker 1: it doesn't really make any sense because our clothing our
Speaker 1: closets and we get dressed on the top floor. But
Speaker 1: when I was a kid in my house in Colorado,
Speaker 1: the washer dryer was in the basement, And the first
Speaker 1: few homes that I bought, the washer dryers were in
Speaker 1: the basement.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I wonder if it's because it was such a novel,
Speaker 1: you know, like a indoor washing machine might have been
Speaker 1: new enough it's like, oh, well, we'll put it in
Speaker 1: the basement. But now it's like put it next to
Speaker 1: your closet.
Speaker 2: Did people have room to put that? I mean maybe yeah,
Speaker 2: next to your closet. But if you would think of
Speaker 2: the way that houses were built back in the day,
Speaker 2: there wasn't necessarily a ton of room for a washer
Speaker 2: and dryer on like main floor area.
Speaker 1: But now they build a specific room for it. Right,
Speaker 1: Like pretty much every new house that we've looked at,
Speaker 1: there's this specific room just for laundry, the mudroom, or they.
Speaker 4: Have a specific closet for it, Like I have friends
Speaker 4: who live in apartments who have a specific like extra
Speaker 4: deep closet for their washer, drive.
Speaker 1: Like a smaller one.
Speaker 4: Right, No, they're like full, They're stacked on top of
Speaker 4: each other.
Speaker 1: One thing that we've noticed is that, you know, the
Speaker 1: if you get a home that was built before twenty
Speaker 1: ten or so, it's going to have two things that
Speaker 1: nobody wants anymore. Number one, a formal dining room. Number two,
Speaker 1: a formal living room out front. So you walk in,
Speaker 1: you walk usually into a formal living room, and right
Speaker 1: over there is the dining room. Nobody wants those anymore,
Speaker 1: so around twenty ten they stop building homes with a
Speaker 1: formal dining room in a formal living room. So like
Speaker 1: in Allison's house, built like five years ago, she you
Speaker 1: walk in, you walk past the stairs of the mudroom
Speaker 1: and right into the big open living room, kitchen combination
Speaker 1: dining room. There is no dining.
Speaker 4: Room, yeah, because I don't think I have a don't
Speaker 4: my dad has dining room. But also yeah, his house
Speaker 4: was built, I don't know, nineteen sixty four.
Speaker 1: Yeah, when a dining room was like, oh, this is
Speaker 1: a nice thing, like, oh, you fix dinner in the
Speaker 1: kitchen and you bring it out to the dining room.
Speaker 3: I'm trying to think.
Speaker 2: When I was house hunting, honestly, I was looking at
Speaker 2: Saint Louis Park houses and they were all built during
Speaker 2: like the war, the same exact like format, and so
Speaker 2: everything was very condensed and right next to each other.
Speaker 2: There was only one house that was like a little
Speaker 2: bit more modern and spacious, but that didn't have a
Speaker 2: formal dining room. It just had a big island in
Speaker 2: the kitchen and then god, I don't even know if
Speaker 2: there was room for a table or for the island.
Speaker 2: Was the table then okay, because it opened like the
Speaker 2: living room was right there too, So it was just
Speaker 2: like a big room of like the kitchen in the
Speaker 2: living room, probably similar to like Alison's.
Speaker 1: Or yeah, and that's kind of what people want now.
Speaker 1: They want one big room where you hang out. You know.
Speaker 1: I guess it used to be back in the day,
Speaker 1: if you had people over, you would serve them coffee
Speaker 1: or tea and refreshments in your formal living room. Nobody
Speaker 1: does that. Now we have somebody over, you come right
Speaker 1: to the bar in the kitchen, you sit down to
Speaker 1: the kitchen island, and you hang out of the kitchen island.
Speaker 6: Fancy you a bar in the kitchen with a well,
Speaker 6: not a.
Speaker 1: Bar, but you know what I mean, like the center
Speaker 1: is or the kitchen table. I don't know.
Speaker 6: Here's the floor stone.
Speaker 1: Here's another couple of trends that I've noticed is and
Speaker 1: we talked about this one. Apparently it's illegal in Minnesota
Speaker 1: or maybe everywhere to put an outlet on the end
Speaker 1: of your kitchen island. Did you know this because there's
Speaker 1: a story about a little three year old. There was
Speaker 1: a hot pot, a crockpot of like stew or chili
Speaker 1: or something. Three year old comes along, it's plugged into
Speaker 1: the center island. They pulled the cord and it comes
Speaker 1: down all over them and scalding, scalding burns on a
Speaker 1: little kid.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So a builder could tell us, or a realtor could
Speaker 1: tell us. But I think it's illegal to build a
Speaker 1: home with a plug in the center island. If they're
Speaker 1: there their grandfathered in.
Speaker 3: Do you want me to ask Andrew? Yeah, yeah, if
Speaker 3: you know.
Speaker 1: Okay, And while you're doing that, I will tell you that. Also,
Speaker 1: we've noticed that homes are getting away from a built
Speaker 1: in sink garbage disposal.
Speaker 2: Hi, we have a quick question. We're recording the Minnesota Goodbye.
Speaker 2: Is it illegal to build an outlet on an island
Speaker 2: in a home now because of the danger of it?
Speaker 5: No, it's code.
Speaker 6: It's cool.
Speaker 5: We have to have an outlet on an island.
Speaker 3: So you do have to have an outlet on okay,
Speaker 3: but not on the end.
Speaker 5: I'm I'm pretty sure code know that you have to
Speaker 5: have an outlet on an island.
Speaker 2: But it would be on top would it be on
Speaker 2: the side side of the island?
Speaker 5: I think it can be either, as long as a GFCI,
Speaker 5: but it has to be a specific outlet. Because I
Speaker 5: had a client buying a new build and they wanted
Speaker 5: to builder to switch out the outlet and they're like
Speaker 5: a USB outlet, and if he couldn't get the code
Speaker 5: and they would have to do it after they moved in.
Speaker 5: So they put it in a regular outlet, or I might
Speaker 5: be getting my wires crownd and maybe they wanted an
Speaker 5: outlet out on the island. And now what I'm thinking
Speaker 5: about it, and get used to have an outlet out
Speaker 5: an island.
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, well that's all we needed.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Andrew.
Speaker 3: Bye.
Speaker 6: He's confused.
Speaker 1: But you know, I don't know. I mean, I'll take
Speaker 1: Andrew's word for it. And maybe I'm wrong about that,
Speaker 1: maybe my realtorp is wrong, but I was going to
Speaker 1: finish up with this and that. Garbage disposals are also
Speaker 1: kind of going away because you're basically just putting more
Speaker 1: slop into the sewer system. So you throw your old
Speaker 1: chili or your old sandwich down the garbage disposal, you're
Speaker 1: putting more slop into the sewer system. But then again,
Speaker 1: there's poop in the sewer system. What's the sandwich going
Speaker 1: to What difference is the sandwich going to make extra.
Speaker 6: Stuff that doesn't have to be down there? Poop has
Speaker 6: to be down there.
Speaker 1: You know that's a good point. Yeah, But but Susan,
Speaker 1: she doesn't care. I say, well, let's not throw as
Speaker 1: much food in the garbageposal. Let's throw it in the
Speaker 1: trash can. So we have left over you chicken, soup
Speaker 1: or chili, I'll scoop it into the trash can and
Speaker 1: she'll stuff everything in the garbage disposals.
Speaker 6: So you need a compost bin instead.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know anything about this, then hey, there's something
Speaker 1: for you to write in. Baby. You're like, aha, finally
Speaker 1: something that I know about. Send me an email on
Speaker 1: anything in the Minnesota. Goodbye to Ryan Show at katiwb
