WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.360 --> 00:00:04.839 Here we go with today's Minnesota Goodbye. Today is Wednesday, 2 00:00:05.360 --> 00:00:09.480 June fourth, twenty twenty five. This is I think my 3 00:00:09.560 --> 00:00:13.560 thirtieth anniversary, thirty second anniversary at KTWB, And I'm not 4 00:00:13.599 --> 00:00:15.400 exactly sure, and it's weird that I don't remember, but 5 00:00:15.439 --> 00:00:18.160 I think when you're starting something, it's kind of like, 6 00:00:18.280 --> 00:00:20.480 I don't know, you maybe have a baby and forget 7 00:00:20.559 --> 00:00:22.320 to like, you know, write down their first word, and 8 00:00:22.320 --> 00:00:24.760 then years later you don't remember their first word right, 9 00:00:25.079 --> 00:00:27.079 or you know, the first place you ever went with 10 00:00:27.120 --> 00:00:30.839 your husband for dinner, maybe you don't remember. So I 11 00:00:30.839 --> 00:00:33.000 don't remember my first day, but I think it was 12 00:00:33.600 --> 00:00:36.719 June fourth, okay, because I got here on a Tuesday night, 13 00:00:37.479 --> 00:00:39.960 and I came into the station the next day and 14 00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:43.640 I watched Steve Cochran had been fired, so it was 15 00:00:43.719 --> 00:00:46.520 Lee Olswick and then Michael Knight, the late night guy 16 00:00:46.600 --> 00:00:49.640 filling in. I remember him, Niyah, yeah, And so I 17 00:00:49.679 --> 00:00:52.359 think I watched them for maybe a day or two, 18 00:00:53.240 --> 00:00:55.840 no longer than that, I don't think. So my anniversary 19 00:00:55.920 --> 00:00:58.679 is either the third the fourth seems right, but it 20 00:00:58.719 --> 00:01:02.560 also could have been the seventh, June seventh, Monday, Okay. 21 00:01:02.280 --> 00:01:04.400 So are we going to celebrate on the seventh as well. 22 00:01:04.640 --> 00:01:04.719 No. 23 00:01:04.959 --> 00:01:07.640 I mean, the funny thing is I don't I do care, 24 00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:09.920 don't get me wrong, but I'm not a big celebrate 25 00:01:09.959 --> 00:01:13.439 myself kind of a person. The twenty fifth I said 26 00:01:13.480 --> 00:01:15.480 that this was the story in the twenty fifth. Stephen 27 00:01:15.519 --> 00:01:17.200 Fallon worked here, and I think Jenny you were here too, 28 00:01:17.480 --> 00:01:20.760 here yah, And I said, you know what they're gonna do. 29 00:01:20.799 --> 00:01:22.599 And I told Fallon, I said, you know what they're 30 00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:24.719 gonna do.

And I said, if they think 33 00:01:29.239 --> 00:01:31.120 that's the way they're going to celebrate my twenty fifth 34 00:01:31.120 --> 00:01:33.760 anniversary of being on KTWB, I'm going to burn that 35 00:01:33.799 --> 00:01:38.319 fucking place down, I said so.

Yeah? Oh oh. 47 00:02:08.479 --> 00:02:11.919 And what was cool is like nearly everyone whoever used 48 00:02:11.960 --> 00:02:19.639 to work on the show was there. Yep, Lena, Angie, Extreme, Jamie, Miranda, 49 00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:23.520 Intern John was there. 50 00:02:23.400 --> 00:02:24.759 Came out here for that. That's cool. 51 00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:28.719 Lee Volsvick was there. And it was very It was 52 00:02:28.759 --> 00:02:31.560 so very sweet. And I looked around and I was like, Wow, 53 00:02:31.560 --> 00:02:33.240 I'm really proud of all the people that I've worked 54 00:02:33.240 --> 00:02:33.599 with here. 55 00:02:34.240 --> 00:02:35.840 I have a story from that night that I don't 56 00:02:35.840 --> 00:02:40.800 think I've ever shared. Oh so, so intern John was there, 57 00:02:40.840 --> 00:02:42.960 and John and I are really good friends, and so 58 00:02:43.560 --> 00:02:46.360 we went out. So he was staying in a hotel downtown. 59 00:02:46.680 --> 00:02:48.840 We went to the hotel for drinks afterwards with me 60 00:02:48.879 --> 00:02:51.240 and him, Tina, I think his brother, maybe a couple 61 00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:54.879 other people, and then we went to Deja Vu, the 62 00:02:54.919 --> 00:02:58.240 strip club. Okay, nobody was there because what it was 63 00:02:58.240 --> 00:03:00.479 a Thursday night or something and whatever. 64 00:03:00.520 --> 00:03:02.879 It was like ten pm. It wasn't super late or anything. 65 00:03:03.439 --> 00:03:04.439 We went to the strip club. 66 00:03:04.520 --> 00:03:06.960 I think John threw a bunch of money at the 67 00:03:06.960 --> 00:03:08.840 strippers to like dance in front of me and Tina 68 00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:12.199 and whatever. Well, I had had like a decent amount 69 00:03:12.280 --> 00:03:16.000 to drink at that point, so I shouldn't drive whatever. 70 00:03:16.039 --> 00:03:18.000 And John's like, you can just stay in my hotel room, 71 00:03:18.080 --> 00:03:21.719 and I was like, I don't know, like maybe I 72 00:03:21.759 --> 00:03:24.240 could just uber home. He's like, just it's fine. So 73 00:03:24.840 --> 00:03:27.199 I did end up sleeping in John's hotel room. However, 74 00:03:27.719 --> 00:03:32.479 he had a pull out couch, so obviously whatever. But 75 00:03:32.560 --> 00:03:34.680 we both said that we would never tell that story 76 00:03:34.719 --> 00:03:37.199 because we didn't want anyone to think anything of it. 77 00:03:37.240 --> 00:03:38.159 Like we were both single. 78 00:03:38.199 --> 00:03:40.520 It wouldn't have mattered one way or another in terms of, like, 79 00:03:40.680 --> 00:03:43.840 you know, we weren't disrespecting a relationship, but we didn't 80 00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:48.319 want the radio people to gossip, like, oh shit, and 81 00:03:48.400 --> 00:03:48.680 let me. 82 00:03:48.639 --> 00:03:49.120 Tell you something. 83 00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:52.000 Love John as a human If he ever listens to this, 84 00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:56.960 what up? But fuck no, would I ever do anything 85 00:03:57.000 --> 00:04:00.479 with John. I love him, but he drives me. I 86 00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:02.960 would never I'm not sexually attracted to him. I would 87 00:04:03.039 --> 00:04:06.719 never like him in a romantic way. But he's my buddy, Okay, 88 00:04:06.960 --> 00:04:07.520 fair enough. 89 00:04:07.680 --> 00:04:09.360 I wouldn't think that you would need to explain that. 90 00:04:09.400 --> 00:04:11.319 I'd be like, oh, I totally get it. I mean, 91 00:04:11.560 --> 00:04:15.840 you know, I think there was something like that not 92 00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:19.319 too long ago. And I'm trying to remember the circumstances. 93 00:04:19.399 --> 00:04:25.199 It was somebody who was drunk or something. Oh yeah, 94 00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:27.519 it was a coworker and it was at Star Party. 95 00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:30.879 I remember this clearly. It was a few years ago. 96 00:04:30.920 --> 00:04:32.519 And I'm not gonna say the coworker's name. They don't 97 00:04:32.519 --> 00:04:34.839 work here anymore. But you know her Jenny, and she's 98 00:04:34.959 --> 00:04:37.519 very charming and she's around my age, and she got 99 00:04:37.639 --> 00:04:41.319 kind of drunk at Star Party and she got a 100 00:04:41.360 --> 00:04:44.120 little bit flirty and she was, you know, we were 101 00:04:44.160 --> 00:04:47.079 at the Myth and I usually don't go home after 102 00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:49.399 Star Party because it's like, you know, midnight, and I 103 00:04:49.439 --> 00:04:50.920 got to work the next morning, so I just stayed 104 00:04:50.920 --> 00:04:53.360 there at a hotel, a dumpy hotel called the Emerald 105 00:04:53.399 --> 00:04:58.360 Inn over Instam Maplewood. Maplewood. Yeah, And I said, listen, 106 00:04:58.399 --> 00:05:01.120 you're drunk. You should not be driving. You can come 107 00:05:01.160 --> 00:05:04.720 and stay at my hotel room with me. And I said, 108 00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:09.120 I truly, seriously, I'm sincere about this. When you should 109 00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:11.920 not be driving, I'll drive you two blocks to the 110 00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:15.120 dumpy Emerald In and I'll sleep on the couch and 111 00:05:15.319 --> 00:05:19.000 you'll be fine. And she's like no, And I don't 112 00:05:19.040 --> 00:05:20.600 know how she got home, but I know she got 113 00:05:20.600 --> 00:05:24.480 home safely. But there was nothing weird about it. And 114 00:05:24.519 --> 00:05:26.800 I probably would have told Susan, even though that would 115 00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:28.399 have been a weird thing to say. Yeah, so so 116 00:05:28.480 --> 00:05:30.560 and so at work slept in my room at the 117 00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:31.120 Emerald Inn. 118 00:05:31.240 --> 00:05:32.079 Yeah, I see. 119 00:05:32.160 --> 00:05:34.839 I don't think it's weird either, because I've said, like, 120 00:05:34.879 --> 00:05:37.040 to save money, oh, we should share a hotel room 121 00:05:37.519 --> 00:05:40.160 with like friends of mine who are married men, and 122 00:05:40.160 --> 00:05:42.079 they're like, no, that's weird because I'm a married man. 123 00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:44.879 I'm like, oh, I just trying to save money. I 124 00:05:44.959 --> 00:05:46.319 wasn't trying to do anything. Yeah. 125 00:05:46.360 --> 00:05:47.920 I think sometimes it can be totally innocent like that. 126 00:05:48.040 --> 00:05:49.879 So you fucked in turn, John, Yeah. 127 00:05:49.839 --> 00:05:50.600 So I wasn't. 128 00:05:50.800 --> 00:05:54.319 Yeah, absolutely not. Absolutely. I'm going to get back to 129 00:05:54.399 --> 00:05:56.120 him too, because he will message me. 130 00:05:56.079 --> 00:05:59.519 Every titled this episode Jenny fucked into the job. Please 131 00:05:59.600 --> 00:06:01.079 do not do not. 132 00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:03.560 He always hears when we talk about him on the show, 133 00:06:03.560 --> 00:06:05.079 because he'll text me He's like, heard you guys talked 134 00:06:05.079 --> 00:06:05.639 about me today. 135 00:06:05.639 --> 00:06:08.399 When did it happen. He loves to go back and listen. 136 00:06:08.439 --> 00:06:10.240 But there was one day, though, I think Dave, you 137 00:06:10.240 --> 00:06:12.079 had said some really nice things about him, so he 138 00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:14.680 was curious what you had said.

The year is 175 00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:49.000 two thousand. I'm a freshman working at McDonald's. One day, 176 00:07:49.000 --> 00:07:51.319 my friend called to say their dad had four tickets 177 00:07:51.360 --> 00:07:53.240 to the King of the Game concert tour with Lincoln 178 00:07:53.240 --> 00:07:57.439 Park and pod. The show was that night and something 179 00:07:57.480 --> 00:07:59.199 had come up and he couldn't go, so he says, 180 00:07:59.199 --> 00:08:02.000 you can have the tickets, and so the first issue. 181 00:08:02.000 --> 00:08:03.480 I was supposed to work that night. I was young 182 00:08:03.519 --> 00:08:05.000 and dumb. I did all the thing where you fake 183 00:08:05.079 --> 00:08:07.959 puke and pour water in the toilet. My poor boss. 184 00:08:08.319 --> 00:08:10.000 They had to know I was lying, but I had 185 00:08:10.040 --> 00:08:12.319 successfully called out of work, so they called in and 186 00:08:12.399 --> 00:08:14.920 I've never heard that one pour water in the toilet. 187 00:08:15.519 --> 00:08:18.439 We invited two other friends and then had started talking 188 00:08:18.480 --> 00:08:21.000 to all of our parents to get permission. We lived 189 00:08:21.040 --> 00:08:23.240 in Rice Lake, Wisconsin at the time. My parents didn't 190 00:08:23.240 --> 00:08:25.040 want us to drive to the cities alone, and they 191 00:08:25.079 --> 00:08:27.000 didn't want to drive on such short notice. It was 192 00:08:27.000 --> 00:08:29.720 a weeknight, so we lied. We told our parents the 193 00:08:29.759 --> 00:08:32.679 other set of parents were driving, and away we went. 194 00:08:33.600 --> 00:08:36.200 Reminder is the year two thousand. We printed directions from 195 00:08:36.320 --> 00:08:38.559 map quest and drove two hours in the dark to 196 00:08:38.600 --> 00:08:42.440 the big city from small town, Wisconsin. Our parents never 197 00:08:42.440 --> 00:08:44.320 found out till we told them as adults. Our bosson 198 00:08:44.360 --> 00:08:46.639 McDonald's totally knew. But she was awesome and funny, and 199 00:08:46.679 --> 00:08:49.240 I still talked to her this day. Twenty five years later. 200 00:08:50.039 --> 00:08:53.559 Fast forward, Matt and I have been married eighteen years 201 00:08:53.559 --> 00:08:55.639 with three boys, and we're talking to our oldest taken 202 00:08:55.679 --> 00:08:58.600 our oldest to see Lincoln Park at Target Center in August. 203 00:08:59.000 --> 00:09:03.159 So that's a cool full time circle story. Yeah, that 204 00:09:03.240 --> 00:09:04.879 was a fun memory to share. Have a great day. 205 00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:06.960 Dart lick, Sarah, I'm going. 206 00:09:06.960 --> 00:09:09.519 To use that a throwing water in the toilet thing. 207 00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:10.720 I've never heard of that one before. 208 00:09:10.840 --> 00:09:13.679 I haven't either, Actually, Nah. 209 00:09:13.000 --> 00:09:15.440 I don't think I've ever called in fake sick in 210 00:09:15.480 --> 00:09:16.000 my life. 211 00:09:16.120 --> 00:09:17.320 Oh, I've never called in fake sick. 212 00:09:17.399 --> 00:09:19.159 Now. Yeah, have you called in fake sick, Jenny? 213 00:09:19.320 --> 00:09:22.039 Yes to the worst job I ever had, which was 214 00:09:22.039 --> 00:09:24.200 a bus girl when I was fifteen years old, and 215 00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:26.919 I had to work at like seven every single Saturday 216 00:09:26.960 --> 00:09:28.840 and Sunday morning, and I was in I was like 217 00:09:28.879 --> 00:09:31.600 a freshman in high school. Yeah, like that's early, but 218 00:09:31.639 --> 00:09:34.080 it was. Honestly, it was a really hard job. I 219 00:09:34.159 --> 00:09:37.720 was constantly carrying huge bins of dishes. I didn't work 220 00:09:37.759 --> 00:09:40.039 out back then, like in a way where I was strong, 221 00:09:40.720 --> 00:09:43.039 so I hated that job. I had to wear the 222 00:09:43.159 --> 00:09:46.759 diner dress with nylons. My dad worked at that restaurant 223 00:09:46.799 --> 00:09:49.000 for years, so that's why I worked there. But yeah, 224 00:09:49.039 --> 00:09:51.600 I definitely called in sick. I think once or twice 225 00:09:51.639 --> 00:09:54.320 to that job, and my parents knew like I was lying. 226 00:09:54.399 --> 00:09:56.320 Okay, you see, I've never I wouldn't know how to 227 00:09:56.320 --> 00:09:58.799 put on the sick voice, like, yeah, I'm not feeling 228 00:09:58.960 --> 00:10:02.759 very good. Is when I all in sick, I'm deathbed sick, 229 00:10:02.799 --> 00:10:04.399 and I don't need to fake my voice. 230 00:10:04.440 --> 00:10:08.000 I'm like, anytime I do call in sick, I always 231 00:10:08.080 --> 00:10:10.399 think they think I'm lying. They're gonna think I'm lying, 232 00:10:10.519 --> 00:10:13.200 even if I'm actually ill, Like I almost came in 233 00:10:13.200 --> 00:10:15.159 to work with a freaking kidney infection, but I was like, 234 00:10:15.200 --> 00:10:16.320 they're gonna think I'm lying. 235 00:10:16.519 --> 00:10:18.840 She was like texting me and the day before and 236 00:10:18.879 --> 00:10:20.600 I literally was like, barely stay home. 237 00:10:20.960 --> 00:10:23.720 No, I'll fine, you don't need to come in tomorrow. 238 00:10:23.759 --> 00:10:24.360 We'll be fine. 239 00:10:24.720 --> 00:10:26.360 The great thing about everybody on the show is you're 240 00:10:26.440 --> 00:10:30.440 all reliable and you never show up late. And I 241 00:10:30.559 --> 00:10:32.960 always say, everybody shows up late once in a while. 242 00:10:33.399 --> 00:10:37.240 Everybody misses their alarm or everybody you know forgets to 243 00:10:37.320 --> 00:10:39.440 set it or gets a flat tire. 244 00:10:39.360 --> 00:10:40.399 Or car out of the snow. 245 00:10:40.519 --> 00:10:43.960 Dig your car. Everybody's late once in a while. Never 246 00:10:44.039 --> 00:10:46.200 have any problems. However, there have been certain people on 247 00:10:46.240 --> 00:10:48.279 the show. Jenny and I could name at least one 248 00:10:48.720 --> 00:10:53.039 that were consistently late. And but we're not gonna say 249 00:10:53.039 --> 00:10:55.960 any names. Fallon, Oh kidding, Fallen was never late. 250 00:10:56.039 --> 00:10:59.600 Yeah, she actually was like the lat later part of 251 00:10:59.600 --> 00:11:01.399 her being on the show. She was always in before 252 00:11:01.399 --> 00:11:02.399 me and you, Dave, I. 253 00:11:02.320 --> 00:11:06.320 Think so yeah, yeah. Ranger Jessica writes in we love 254 00:11:06.360 --> 00:11:09.720 her new Star of the Minnesota Goodbye. What a happy 255 00:11:09.799 --> 00:11:12.279 ranger heart. I have to hear such a fun discussion 256 00:11:12.320 --> 00:11:15.600 on trees yesterday. To answer Dave's question, the huge cotton 257 00:11:15.639 --> 00:11:18.759 woods you see around the metro are relatively not that old. 258 00:11:19.600 --> 00:11:22.000 The species here usually live to be one hundred and 259 00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:24.639 fifty to two hundred years old, so pretty life short 260 00:11:24.679 --> 00:11:28.080 lifespan for a tree, Bailey is correct. They grow fast. 261 00:11:28.559 --> 00:11:30.919 Compared to a burr oak of the same size, the 262 00:11:30.960 --> 00:11:33.399 oak would probably be closer to three hundred years old. 263 00:11:33.440 --> 00:11:36.320 Oh and now she gives us some cottonwood facts. Sweet 264 00:11:37.039 --> 00:11:39.360 cottonwoods are very hollow on the inside. They can hold 265 00:11:39.399 --> 00:11:41.639 up to five hundred gallons of water at any time. 266 00:11:42.120 --> 00:11:44.039 The hollowness is one of the reasons they were used 267 00:11:44.039 --> 00:11:47.120 by Native Americans to carve canoes out of I think 268 00:11:47.159 --> 00:11:50.240 of what a fucking sure. The natives had to carve 269 00:11:50.279 --> 00:11:55.360 a canoe because back before they had iron axes, they 270 00:11:55.480 --> 00:11:58.200 chisel them out with like a bone or something, you know, 271 00:11:59.200 --> 00:12:00.759 or a rock or some. 272 00:12:00.960 --> 00:12:03.320 Probably rocks, because then they can't you just make a 273 00:12:03.559 --> 00:12:05.879 you can turn a rock into like an axe, like 274 00:12:05.960 --> 00:12:08.159 by you know, chinking away at it. 275 00:12:08.200 --> 00:12:09.879 I don't know that that's exactly. 276 00:12:10.200 --> 00:12:11.919 I mean, that's how they made arrowheads. They'd use a 277 00:12:11.919 --> 00:12:14.279 harder rock. Yeah, yeah, to chink away. And that might 278 00:12:14.279 --> 00:12:18.200 even be the right term to check away at, you know. Okay, 279 00:12:18.320 --> 00:12:19.840 I was gonna talk about arrowheads for a minute, but 280 00:12:19.840 --> 00:12:22.960 we're not going there. The bark of the cottonwood tree 281 00:12:23.000 --> 00:12:27.080 was used by natives for medicinal purposes like toothaches, and 282 00:12:27.120 --> 00:12:29.200 it was later found the bark has the same chemical 283 00:12:29.240 --> 00:12:33.919 punk compound that is used in aspirin. Wow, trees are fun. 284 00:12:34.519 --> 00:12:38.679 Tree you all later, Ranger Jessica. Is there anything that 285 00:12:38.759 --> 00:12:41.200 you want to hear about from Ranger Jessica? Is there 286 00:12:41.200 --> 00:12:45.120 any request you'd like to make about like nature, nature animals? 287 00:12:45.399 --> 00:12:47.360 We all said this on a podcast that didn't end 288 00:12:47.440 --> 00:12:49.519 up getting posted because there was like audio fed in 289 00:12:49.519 --> 00:12:51.279 the background, And now I can't remember because we all 290 00:12:51.320 --> 00:12:53.759 did have a request and I can't remember. 291 00:12:53.799 --> 00:12:56.600 I mean, I like learning about birds in general. I 292 00:12:56.600 --> 00:12:58.519 saw a loon once. It was so cool, and I 293 00:12:58.559 --> 00:12:59.679 want to see more loons. 294 00:12:59.720 --> 00:13:04.000 I think I think mine was How like, how were 295 00:13:04.120 --> 00:13:06.039 mushrooms discovered to be what they are? 296 00:13:06.159 --> 00:13:06.240 Oh? 297 00:13:06.360 --> 00:13:08.080 Yeah, Like I think we talked about this, Like people 298 00:13:08.120 --> 00:13:10.720 probably just ate them and experimented and either died or 299 00:13:11.039 --> 00:13:12.279 got high or whatever. 300 00:13:12.600 --> 00:13:14.600 But that's a curious thing for me. 301 00:13:14.840 --> 00:13:18.080 Well, you think about anything, like anything that we can 302 00:13:18.120 --> 00:13:21.799 eat or can't eat. At one time somewhere in back 303 00:13:21.840 --> 00:13:24.639 in the day, Yeah, somebody said, you know what those 304 00:13:24.639 --> 00:13:28.360 things bananas? They look kind of tasty. Should we I'm 305 00:13:28.360 --> 00:13:31.000 not going to try it? Yeah, well you tomatoes. I 306 00:13:31.000 --> 00:13:33.200 think we didn't eat tomatoes until about one hundred and 307 00:13:33.200 --> 00:13:35.399 fifty years ago. And I'm not making this up because 308 00:13:35.440 --> 00:13:37.759 we thought they were poison well. 309 00:13:37.639 --> 00:13:40.240 Because I think they're in the night shade family. I 310 00:13:40.320 --> 00:13:43.840 believe tomatoes are, and so they're similar to other things 311 00:13:43.879 --> 00:13:45.600 that you can't eat that are poison Well. 312 00:13:45.440 --> 00:13:47.440 Think about the idiot who had to eat poison ivy 313 00:13:47.480 --> 00:13:50.519 for the first time. It's like, hey, Roy, try it oka, or. 314 00:13:50.480 --> 00:13:52.919 Like rhubarb, you can eat the stems. But the leaves 315 00:13:52.960 --> 00:13:54.879 are poisonous. Really, I don't know if they'll kill you, 316 00:13:54.919 --> 00:13:56.879 but they'll make you sick. Okay, but you can eat 317 00:13:56.879 --> 00:13:57.799 the stems. 318 00:13:57.600 --> 00:13:57.759 Is it? 319 00:13:57.879 --> 00:14:00.799 Thanks shout out to our ancestors who tried all of 320 00:14:00.840 --> 00:14:02.960 this stuff so we would know what was that able. 321 00:14:02.960 --> 00:14:03.559 Appreciate you. 322 00:14:04.240 --> 00:14:08.039 Here's an interesting email for the Minnesota goodbye. Hold on, 323 00:14:08.080 --> 00:14:11.440 I just lost it. Here we go. Kristin writes back 324 00:14:11.440 --> 00:14:13.919 with another Rando question. Do you have an app on 325 00:14:13.960 --> 00:14:15.960 your phone you think most other people wouldn't? For me, 326 00:14:16.039 --> 00:14:18.840 it's Find a Bird, Okay. It's an app that allows 327 00:14:18.879 --> 00:14:21.360 you to identify types of birds based on their feathers 328 00:14:21.440 --> 00:14:24.399 and various other aspects. I downloaded it because I go 329 00:14:24.440 --> 00:14:26.360 on walks all the time with my doggies and I 330 00:14:26.399 --> 00:14:29.159 pick up feathers. Sometimes I don't know what bird it 331 00:14:29.200 --> 00:14:34.559 comes from, So that's mine darting and licking at your discretion, Kristin, 332 00:14:36.159 --> 00:14:39.360 I have one called the Merlin Bird Finder I think 333 00:14:39.360 --> 00:14:42.480 it's called, and that does the same thing. It'll identify 334 00:14:42.519 --> 00:14:44.799 if you take a picture of the bird, or if 335 00:14:44.799 --> 00:14:47.600 you describe the bird and tell the color whatever where 336 00:14:47.639 --> 00:14:49.279 you found it, and it'll give you the bird that 337 00:14:49.279 --> 00:14:53.600 you're watching. But my favorite one that nobody else has 338 00:14:53.799 --> 00:14:56.240 is flight Radar twenty four to seven. 339 00:14:56.320 --> 00:14:57.279 You talk about that one a lot. 340 00:14:57.399 --> 00:14:59.240 I think it's called twenty four, So flight Radar twenty 341 00:14:59.240 --> 00:15:02.279 four maybe is called and it's basically I think it's 342 00:15:02.320 --> 00:15:05.840 a paid app, but you can buy a get a 343 00:15:05.879 --> 00:15:08.039 free version and if you look up at an airplane, 344 00:15:08.279 --> 00:15:10.759 you open up the app, it'll find your location. You'll 345 00:15:10.759 --> 00:15:13.240 see that airplane in the sky. You tap on it, 346 00:15:13.240 --> 00:15:16.639 it tells you where it's coming from, how fast, how high, 347 00:15:16.679 --> 00:15:20.759 and where it's landing, and it's just super thick and cool. 348 00:15:21.320 --> 00:15:22.799 Flight Radar twenty four to seven. 349 00:15:22.960 --> 00:15:23.720 I feel like. 350 00:15:23.759 --> 00:15:26.519 All of mine are pretty useful and not like weird 351 00:15:26.559 --> 00:15:29.279 at all. I do have one. When I joined the 352 00:15:29.360 --> 00:15:33.120 church choir, I cannot read music, period and we would 353 00:15:33.159 --> 00:15:35.960 never like go through all of our parts very much, 354 00:15:36.240 --> 00:15:38.279 so you'd kind of be on your own, and I'm 355 00:15:38.279 --> 00:15:41.600 an alto, so it'd be rough. So I downloaded one 356 00:15:41.639 --> 00:15:43.679 called Music Scanner, and I actually think I had to 357 00:15:43.720 --> 00:15:46.360 pay like five dollars for it. Okay, but you take 358 00:15:46.399 --> 00:15:49.799 a picture of the sheet music and you say which 359 00:15:49.840 --> 00:15:52.200 part you are, and it will just play the part 360 00:15:52.240 --> 00:15:54.679 that you sing no kidding, which is actually. 361 00:15:54.600 --> 00:15:57.440 Really helpful when you don't know how to read music. Okay, 362 00:15:57.480 --> 00:15:58.200 that's kind of nice. 363 00:15:58.200 --> 00:15:59.000 That's cool, Jenny. 364 00:15:59.080 --> 00:16:01.480 Well, the question is there an app on our phone 365 00:16:01.480 --> 00:16:02.440 that we don't really use? 366 00:16:02.519 --> 00:16:05.240 Is no, you don't think anybody else will. 367 00:16:05.279 --> 00:16:07.159 I mean, mine's probably not like that unique. 368 00:16:07.200 --> 00:16:09.960 But there's something called ski tracks and it just records 369 00:16:10.120 --> 00:16:13.320 what you've done when you're out skiing or snowboarding. And 370 00:16:13.399 --> 00:16:15.120 I love it because it tells you how many runs 371 00:16:15.159 --> 00:16:19.159 you've done, your average speed, your altitude, your vertical and 372 00:16:19.320 --> 00:16:21.679 my favorite is the fact that it shows your max speed. 373 00:16:21.679 --> 00:16:23.159 And I just went to it to see what my 374 00:16:23.159 --> 00:16:25.919 max speed was. Ever, guess how fast I went. 375 00:16:26.919 --> 00:16:30.919 On snowboard on a snowboarding. 376 00:16:29.600 --> 00:16:31.440 To say, forty miles an hour? 377 00:16:31.639 --> 00:16:35.799 Oh, you like nailed it really, forty two point six. Wow. Yeah. 378 00:16:35.879 --> 00:16:37.840 I didn't think I had gotten that fast. I thought 379 00:16:37.840 --> 00:16:38.399 I was pretty fair. 380 00:16:38.399 --> 00:16:41.799 I thought it was like thirties at the quickest. But yeah, 381 00:16:41.840 --> 00:16:44.159 So I use that every single time I go, whether 382 00:16:44.159 --> 00:16:47.360 it's at Apton or if it's in the Rockies in Colorado. 383 00:16:47.440 --> 00:16:47.960 I use that. 384 00:16:48.080 --> 00:16:50.159 On my old phone, I had one called walk to 385 00:16:50.200 --> 00:16:52.840 More Door where it would track how many miles you 386 00:16:52.879 --> 00:16:55.480 would walk, and then it would liken it to Sam 387 00:16:55.600 --> 00:16:58.360 and Frodo's journey in or the Rings. 388 00:16:58.159 --> 00:17:03.159 It's going to beat you up right now, Bailey. 389 00:17:04.200 --> 00:17:05.440 Over halfway to Mortar. 390 00:17:05.559 --> 00:17:07.279 And then I got a new phone and it canceled 391 00:17:07.319 --> 00:17:09.119 out all of my stuff. So I was like, fuck it, 392 00:17:09.119 --> 00:17:10.119 I'm not going to try again. 393 00:17:10.160 --> 00:17:14.000 I'm not going to start over re sign into your account. One. No, 394 00:17:14.119 --> 00:17:16.559 it was like attached to my phone. Stupid. 395 00:17:17.119 --> 00:17:21.759 Anyway, I got probably cried that day. 396 00:17:21.880 --> 00:17:22.279 I did. 397 00:17:22.359 --> 00:17:25.880 I probably did because I raised so much. They like 398 00:17:26.000 --> 00:17:29.400 walked thousands of miles and I was over halfway. 399 00:17:29.880 --> 00:17:33.480 Enough of you know what, Mordor is next one, that's 400 00:17:33.519 --> 00:17:38.200 your friendly airline employee. We were talking about bringing weed 401 00:17:38.359 --> 00:17:42.519
