Speaker 1: Hello, and thank you for listening to the Minnesota Goodbye
Speaker 1: with Jenny Ann Bailey. Hello, Vont just like hates us.
Speaker 1: He doesn't want to be on it apparently, No, I'm
Speaker 1: just kidding. On Fridays, he has a ton of work
Speaker 1: to do. If you don't know this about Vont, he
Speaker 1: is on a lot of different weekend shows across the
Speaker 1: country on different radio stations. So he's kind of just
Speaker 1: trying to get caught up on that because right after
Speaker 1: the show today we have to jet out of here
Speaker 1: and get to the Mall of America to do an event.
Speaker 1: So Bont's like, hey, I don't think I'm going to
Speaker 1: make it on today, so we'll jump right to the emails.
Speaker 1: We don't have a ton so if you've been dying
Speaker 1: to send us an email, now's your opportunity, because we're
Speaker 1: definitely not going to miss it and we'll definitely read it.
Speaker 1: So first off, this one comes from someone who says,
Speaker 1: don't say my name if you want to take this
Speaker 1: to the radio. But I have a dilemma today and
Speaker 1: I thought it'd be interesting to hear the squad's feedback
Speaker 1: to get right to it. I'm in sales in twenty
Speaker 1: percent of my monthly commission or monthly pay is commission
Speaker 1: based on a monthly quota. I received my commission check
Speaker 1: from February this week and I noticed it was much
Speaker 1: more than I expected. I looked at my pay STOB
Speaker 1: and it was nearly one thousand dollars more than I
Speaker 1: should have been paid as if I had maxed out
Speaker 1: my commission from the month prior, which I did not.
Speaker 1: I work for a large company and the likelihood of
Speaker 1: anyone noticing this is very low. I decided to contact
Speaker 1: my colleague that submits the commission payments to our payroll team.
Speaker 1: I have worked closely with her for eight plus years
Speaker 1: and I knew she would guide me in the right direction.
Speaker 1: She reviewed it with me and confirmed that what she
Speaker 1: sent to payroll was correct and that the error error
Speaker 1: was not made by her. She said she didn't have
Speaker 1: the time or capacity to deal with this and said
Speaker 1: she would let me decide what to do with it
Speaker 1: from there and wouldn't say anything if it came up.
Speaker 1: I feel like I did my part in reaching out
Speaker 1: to the direct contact on my team. Now, as it stands,
Speaker 1: should I reach out to my boss slash payroll to
Speaker 1: correct this or do I let it ride. This wasn't
Speaker 1: my error, So I don't know if I need to
Speaker 1: be the one to shed light on this or not.
Speaker 1: I'm not too concerned about repercussions that they do an
Speaker 1: audit down the road and need to take it back.
Speaker 1: But do I ride out this unexpected and delightful bonus
Speaker 1: it was an error made by a corporate's payroll team,
Speaker 1: or do I reach out to my boss slash payroll
Speaker 1: listen person who says to not say your name. You
Speaker 1: just let it ride?
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: In my opinion, I'm honestly like, good for you for
Speaker 3: saying anything to your direct contact in the first place,
Speaker 3: because I would have been like, oh, sweet, I guess
Speaker 3: I did really good this month. But also I'm just dumb,
Speaker 3: so it wouldn't occur to me that, oh I wasn't
Speaker 3: meant to get this money. I would have just convinced
Speaker 3: myself that I was meant to get this money.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So you going out and doing like actually talking to
Speaker 3: someone and being like, I think there's a mistake here.
Speaker 3: You did your part, you did your due diligence, your
Speaker 3: moral duty, and I think it's your money now.
Speaker 1: I think your only thing to be concerned about, which
Speaker 1: you said that you're not concerned about it. If they
Speaker 1: were to realize their mistake and they need to take
Speaker 1: the money back, because I'm gonna be honest, iHeart has
Speaker 1: done that to me before, where they've screwed something up
Speaker 1: and they're like sorry, or like I ended up covering
Speaker 1: something for Fallon and they paid Foulon and said to me,
Speaker 1: so then they were like sorry, Fallon, Like we got
Speaker 1: to take this money back in your next pay check.
Speaker 1: So as long as you're not concerned that, like you
Speaker 1: need that thousand dollars down the road, if they were
Speaker 1: to take it back, then I think you're totally fine.
Speaker 4: I do have an.
Speaker 1: Example of something that I was in a very similar
Speaker 1: situation when I was younger. So as you all probably
Speaker 1: know by now, I used to work at Bubba Gump
Speaker 1: and I was a host when I started, And when
Speaker 1: we started, we used to just automatically get a percentage
Speaker 1: of the servers tips, Like it was just automatically taken
Speaker 1: out of their tip amount. Versus a lot of restaurants
Speaker 1: the servers will like choose how much they want to
Speaker 1: tip the hosts, So it used to just automatically be
Speaker 1: taken out of the servers and put into our paychecks.
Speaker 1: And one paycheck I got and it was like four
Speaker 1: hundred dollars more in tips than I had ever had,
Speaker 1: And as a host, you really don't make a ton
Speaker 1: of tips.
Speaker 4: So I was like, WHOA.
Speaker 1: Like I got this paycheck, I was like, no, this
Speaker 1: isn't right. And but I sat and looked at it,
Speaker 1: and I was like, well, I don't know what I
Speaker 1: could done wrong, Like I know that I'm not in
Speaker 1: the wrong here, but I was concerned about them, being like,
Speaker 1: we need that money.
Speaker 4: Here's the thing.
Speaker 1: I was literally leaving to go on my twenty first
Speaker 1: birthday trip to Vegas, like in a week after I
Speaker 1: got that paycheck, and I was like, I'm not saying shit.
Speaker 4: No, they screwed up, and I am like, this is
Speaker 4: my money.
Speaker 1: If they did screw up or for some reason, maybe
Speaker 1: the servers had just this phenomenal week of tips. So
Speaker 1: I ended up getting more in tips. Yeah, but I
Speaker 1: never said shit.
Speaker 4: And it never came back and hit me in the bud.
Speaker 4: So there we go.
Speaker 2: Yeah, don't say anything.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think you're good.
Speaker 1: Okay, next email on Wednesday, you guys talked about the
Speaker 1: mom who wouldn't let one of her children go on
Speaker 1: vacation with the other side of the child's family. It
Speaker 1: got me thinking of something I experienced and I want
Speaker 1: to know your thoughts. My child had a birthday party
Speaker 1: at a water park hotel. He was turning ten. We
Speaker 1: invited two friends his same age and four children from
Speaker 1: our family. Of the four children, one was from one family,
Speaker 1: a twelve year old boo, and then the other three
Speaker 1: were another family member's.
Speaker 4: Kids aged ten, eight, and five.
Speaker 1: We invited everyone to come and swim, eat pizza, and
Speaker 1: qu hang out. We then also invited the friends of
Speaker 1: the of her son, and then two family member kids
Speaker 1: who were twelve and ten to stay the night.
Speaker 4: So to reiterate, there was like a twelve year old boy.
Speaker 1: From the family and then a ten, eight and five
Speaker 1: year old from a different family that they're all related to.
Speaker 1: So the family with multiple kids, the ten, eight and
Speaker 1: five year old would not allow the ten year old
Speaker 1: to stay overnight if we wouldn't also allow the eight
Speaker 1: year old.
Speaker 4: To stay two.
Speaker 1: I asked if both of the adults had to do
Speaker 1: everything with their siblings growing up, and they said no,
Speaker 1: So I said, your kids don't either. Everyone is welcome
Speaker 1: to come play, but the invite for the sleepover is
Speaker 1: just for the ten year old. They chose for none
Speaker 1: of their kids to stay overnight.
Speaker 2: Boo.
Speaker 1: I wanted to know which you have allowed one kid
Speaker 1: to stay and not the others?
Speaker 4: All right? That comes from page Oh my god, what
Speaker 4: is up with people?
Speaker 2: That makes me mad?
Speaker 3: Because like you just like took away a fun experience
Speaker 3: for your ten year old because you wanted to also
Speaker 3: unhand your eight year old as well, right, and like ten,
Speaker 3: I mean especially if the birthday boy is like.
Speaker 1: Twelve, you know, he was trying ten, so same age
Speaker 1: as a ten year old.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but like still if everybody's ten and twelve years
Speaker 3: old and then you have an eight year old, like, yeah,
Speaker 3: it's only two years, but eight and ten are two
Speaker 3: very different ages.
Speaker 1: Right, And also it looks like, you know, in total,
Speaker 1: they were going to have four people sleeping over then,
Speaker 1: and plus the birthday boy in the family and whatever.
Speaker 1: You got to think in terms also of like how
Speaker 1: many beds are there available, like how much space do
Speaker 1: they actually have for all of the kids and stuff.
Speaker 1: So no, I don't think you were in the wrong
Speaker 1: for I think I think that the parents should have
Speaker 1: let the ten year old sleep over without the eight
Speaker 1: year old. Yeah, I think that that's a little strange.
Speaker 1: If you have a different opinion, you're more than welcome
Speaker 1: to email us and let us know. But yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: not really I just understanding of that.
Speaker 2: This is like the.
Speaker 3: Because the Disneyland person and then this email. This is
Speaker 3: like the first time I've heard about like, well, all
Speaker 3: of my kids need to be involved or none of
Speaker 3: my kids can be involved. It just seems like such
Speaker 3: a strange like hill to die on for me when like,
Speaker 3: I mean, I have one sister, but the only thing
Speaker 3: we did together was like her eighth birthday party, and
Speaker 3: I was kind of like forced to not forced to
Speaker 3: be there, but she had no choice because like what
Speaker 3: else was I gonna do?
Speaker 2: I'm in the home that the party is being held at.
Speaker 3: But like, other than that, I didn't go do things
Speaker 3: with my sister all the time. Yeah, because she had
Speaker 3: her own friends. Like let your kid have his own friends.
Speaker 1: Right, I fully agree. My older sister and I are
Speaker 1: only a year and a half apart, so we did
Speaker 1: do a lot together, but we very much had our
Speaker 1: own friend groups. Like she had her birthday parties. I
Speaker 1: wasn't even I mean, I was probably around, but I
Speaker 1: don't think I was that involved in a lot of
Speaker 1: her stuff.
Speaker 4: So yeah, okay.
Speaker 1: Next email says, hello, morning show crew. I heard Jenny
Speaker 1: talk about pearler beads and I had to send some
Speaker 1: pictures of my favorite projects from the pandemic. My kids
Speaker 1: and I spent a lot of time making pearler bead
Speaker 1: projects during COVID. We glued magnets on the back and
Speaker 1: display them on our magnet board. Have a great day,
Speaker 1: so scroll show, Bailey, that is that princess speech?
Speaker 4: Okay, that's my thought. That's bowser bowser and nuns toad toad.
Speaker 1: Okay, good call, because I knew it was from like
Speaker 1: Themorrow people. But I those are cute, freaking pearler beads,
Speaker 1: so there's no chance she'll ever hear this. But if
Speaker 1: for some odd reason, Rachel, my sister, you are listening
Speaker 1: right now, do not let Maddie hear this. It's my
Speaker 1: niece's birthday party next weekend, and I did get her
Speaker 1: a pearler bead kid because I was, like, you know,
Speaker 1: that was fun to do at the age of thirty
Speaker 1: four with my friends, and I remember doing them as
Speaker 1: a kid, and I think that's one thing. Like my
Speaker 1: sister is really good at doing like crafts and artsy
Speaker 1: stuff with my niece and nephew, so I think that's
Speaker 1: one thing they don't have, and if they do, I'm
Speaker 1: going to be surprised. But I think that she'll really
Speaker 1: like doing that, but my sister will probably fucking hate
Speaker 1: it because my nephew will get into it and there
Speaker 1: will be pearler beats all over.
Speaker 2: Helly and you have claimed.
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, okay, so we will delete that fun And
Speaker 1: then one more email of this comes from our good
Speaker 1: old friend Charise says, Hey, Jenny Bailey and Vant it's Charisse.
Speaker 1: I am ready to get a girl's opinion about something,
Speaker 1: but if not wants to throw an opinion, that's fine too.
Speaker 1: I usually don't care about how I look, but lately
Speaker 1: I've decided to pay more attention to myself. I recently
Speaker 1: am trying a new hair color and I'm not sure
Speaker 1: about it, so I am attaching a picture to get
Speaker 1: your opinions. It's I'll describe it because obviously you're listening
Speaker 1: to a podcast and you can't hear or see what
Speaker 1: we're saying. But it's a reddish brown color, and she
Speaker 1: is thinking about making it more brown and wants to
Speaker 1: know what we think. All right, love you guys from
Speaker 1: Charise Bailey, what are your thoughts?
Speaker 3: I mean, I love a brown I think because brown.
Speaker 3: Because okay, Cherise. For the listeners who do not know,
Speaker 3: Teresa has truly the most beautiful eyes in the history
Speaker 3: of eyeballs. And so, Teresa, if you're thinking about going
Speaker 3: more brown, see if you can get like a similar
Speaker 3: color to your eyes so that they pop.
Speaker 2: Even more, like a kind of a golden brown.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that would be really cool and honestly kind of
Speaker 3: would like contrast very well, I think, so I'm all
Speaker 3: for it.
Speaker 2: I mean, I am.
Speaker 3: Somebody who changes their hair constantly and is never happy
Speaker 3: with it. So hey, if you're ever thinking should I
Speaker 3: change my hair, the answer is yes, always do it.
Speaker 3: Follow your heart, follow your bliss, and change it for sure.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, but however, she did ask if we
Speaker 1: like it, and I will say that yes, I do
Speaker 1: like the color that it is right now. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: if you want to change it to brown, I think
Speaker 1: that that'll work as well. But we'll move on from that.
Speaker 1: Since you are listening to a podcast, and you cannot
Speaker 1: see this picture right now. That's actually it. We're all
Speaker 1: caught up on emails. If there's something that we've missed
Speaker 1: that listen love Dave. He's not the most organized, so
Speaker 1: there's a chance an email has gotten deleted accidentally or
Speaker 1: we've dismissed it were the week. So if there's something
Speaker 1: that you haven't heard yet of your email, send it
Speaker 1: to Ryan Show at.
Speaker 4: Katiewb dot com.
Speaker 1: And Bailey was going to talk about somebody that she
Speaker 1: saw at a playlast night.
Speaker 3: I'm yes, I was at a play last night. I'm
Speaker 3: having a cougar moment. So I was at a play
Speaker 3: last night.
Speaker 2: It was called Secret Warriors at the History Theater. Overall,
Speaker 2: really great show. It was about like.
Speaker 3: Japanese army men or that were like American Japanese American
Speaker 3: that were helping during the World War Two.
Speaker 2: Anyway, you can look it up. It's called Secret Warriors
Speaker 2: at History Theater. Anyway, one of.
Speaker 3: The main two characters was the second he came out,
Speaker 3: I was like.
Speaker 2: Oh ooh, because he's.
Speaker 3: Real cute and he was such a good actor. It
Speaker 3: didn't even feel like he was acting. It just felt
Speaker 3: like the character was on the stage, just existing in
Speaker 3: his life, and so during intermission, you know, your girl
Speaker 3: looked up this man. Of course, usually when this happens,
Speaker 3: if I say like, oh, this guy's hot in this show,
Speaker 3: I'm going to look him up, they're always gay. This
Speaker 3: man was not gay. He is dating a woman, but whatever,
Speaker 3: that's okay. I don't think I was going to approach
Speaker 3: this man regardless. And then on his Instagram it says
Speaker 3: graduated UFM twenty twenty three, and I.
Speaker 1: Was like, oh, oh god, so like literally less than
Speaker 1: two years ago he graduated college.
Speaker 3: And I was flabbergasted, shivered my timbers there, and I
Speaker 3: felt creepy because I was like, oh, this man's like
Speaker 3: eleven years younger than me.
Speaker 2: That's wild.
Speaker 3: But then I of course continued to creep because at once,
Speaker 3: like once you're opened on the Instagram page, like I
Speaker 3: can't stop myself from scrolling and trying to like suss
Speaker 3: out information from captions. So he is actually nine years
Speaker 3: younger than me. So he's twenty five, okay, and still
Speaker 3: fine as hell. I don't want to objectify men, but
Speaker 3: I did in that moment and throughout the entire show
Speaker 3: because he was so cute. But is I like, I
Speaker 3: don't think I would ever seek out someone who is twenty.
Speaker 4: Five years old.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but my sister always said that she thought, because
Speaker 3: we always like joke in my family that I'm like
Speaker 3: a spinster lady, and I'll be like the kooky ant
Speaker 3: that like comes home with like at a hot new
Speaker 3: bow every so often, and they'll be like, well, who's
Speaker 3: this one today? And so then I was thinking, Okay,
Speaker 3: well maybe I should get on that now, in that
Speaker 3: era of my life of cougar lady and start bringing
Speaker 3: home twenty five year olds.
Speaker 1: I think that you should do whatever your heart desires,
Speaker 1: as long as I mean, there's one there's a difference
Speaker 1: between like a hot young twenty five year old and
Speaker 1: also like people are still hot at your age too,
Speaker 1: people are hot at every age what I hear. Indeed,
Speaker 1: but I think there's quite a difference between the emotional
Speaker 1: intelligence of a twenty five year old and a thirty
Speaker 1: four year old. Yes, that is my only objection to
Speaker 1: that situation, thank you. Yeah, but I will I will
Speaker 1: chime in with one quick story. I was girling on
Speaker 1: Instagram yesterday and saw this message or this video of
Speaker 1: Steve Irwin's kid.
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh.
Speaker 3: Yes, the one of the pictures of him with the
Speaker 3: snake around his neck.
Speaker 2: Is his name.
Speaker 1: Stever is the no wait, god, name is Steve. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so Steverwin's son. And I was like, damn, he's hot.
Speaker 1: And then I looked him up and he's twenty one.
Speaker 1: And then I saw twenty one, and then I felt
Speaker 1: really bad, and I was like, nope, we're going to
Speaker 1: move on from that, and that'll be the end of this.
Speaker 2: Yes, Robert Irwin is his name. And okay, if you
Speaker 2: want to look one.
Speaker 3: First of First of all, if you're attracted to men,
Speaker 3: look up Robert Irwin, your life will be forever changed.
Speaker 2: Yes, he's twenty one.
Speaker 3: And you do feel weird objectifying this, you young man.
Speaker 1: It's a little too young. I definitely thought he was
Speaker 1: like at least twenty five or older. So then when
Speaker 1: I saw that, I was like, okay, we're moving on.
Speaker 4: So there, we're.
Speaker 3: Really one of the finest, finest specimens in the history
Speaker 3: of the freaking world.
Speaker 1: All right, that's going to do it for the Minnesota Goodbye.
