Speaker 1: I debated whether to read this email because it's a
Speaker 1: little bit dicey and it's like Kenny puts a lot
Speaker 1: of pressure on me. But I'm gonna go ahead and
Speaker 1: read it anyway, because this is kind of what we
Speaker 1: do on the Minnesota Goodbye Hello Fabulous crew, says Sarah Davy.
Speaker 1: She calls me that because today on War of the
Speaker 1: Roses we made fun of adult men who I put
Speaker 1: a why at the end of their name, like Tommy, Scottie, Mikey.
Speaker 1: That type of thing. Totally up to you if you
Speaker 1: want to read this on the pod. But I was
Speaker 1: listening to Wednesday's Minnesota Goodbye and heard how you were
Speaker 1: bothered by a friend asking if everything's okay. Honestly, I've
Speaker 1: been wondering the same thing for a while. I know
Speaker 1: marriage isn't sunshine and rainbows, but I was wondering how
Speaker 1: Susan is. That's my wife? Does she or your kids
Speaker 1: get upset about how you talk about her being lame,
Speaker 1: acting like an old lady and having no hobbies. No,
Speaker 1: she really doesn't listen. I mean once in a while
Speaker 1: she will, but I think kind of, you know, it's
Speaker 1: kind of like you ask about your partner's work and
Speaker 1: how things are going, but you don't watch them work.
Speaker 1: Maybe I don't know. It's like we've been known each
Speaker 1: other for so long that she doesn't listen, and I
Speaker 1: don't mind. The novelty's kind of worn off for her
Speaker 1: and she'll tune in once in a while. But I
Speaker 1: think she's doing other things in the morning. But does
Speaker 1: she mind if I say anything about it? As a
Speaker 1: P one listener. I love your and the crew's candidness,
Speaker 1: but that doesn't mean it doesn't come at a cost
Speaker 1: of potentially hurt feelings that might create more distance. I
Speaker 1: can also understand your perspective of wanting a partner to
Speaker 1: be up for more adventures too. I'll also say to
Speaker 1: a parent of kids that are quickly growing up and
Speaker 1: becoming more and more independent, I can relate to Susan
Speaker 1: in terms of finding myself and needing a hobby, so
Speaker 1: many phases of life that we can all eventually relate
Speaker 1: to keep up the great and relatable work. Well, no,
Speaker 1: it's not like we're having problems. It's just that I
Speaker 1: get frustrated because, like you know, I want because I've
Speaker 1: realized that so much of my life. Yes, I've had
Speaker 1: adventure and I learned to fly, and I've done a
Speaker 1: lot of boy scout stuff and I ride a motorcycle.
Speaker 1: But I want to have adventure and Susan doesn't like adventure.
Speaker 1: We were going to go flying last Sunday and because
Speaker 1: I needed some video because I was taking video whatever,
Speaker 1: and I needed some video. So I'm like, okay, well
Speaker 1: go flying with me. And last time we went flying
Speaker 1: was up to Duluth, and she didn't enjoy it. The
Speaker 1: entire time there she was like, are we there yet?
Speaker 1: How much farther, how much longer? And it was I
Speaker 1: could tell she wasn't having a good time. So I said, hey,
Speaker 1: well you go flying with me, so take some pictures
Speaker 1: of me flying so I can post it on social media.
Speaker 1: And she's like yeah, sure. Well on the way to
Speaker 1: the airport, she's like, yeah, I'm not going to go up,
Speaker 1: and I said, well why, I just don't want to.
Speaker 1: I'll stay on the ground. I'll get video of you
Speaker 1: from the ground. And I was, I was I don't
Speaker 1: know if annoyed is the right word, but I disappointed
Speaker 1: is a better word, because it's safer I wouldn't do it,
Speaker 1: and she didn't want to go and she wants to
Speaker 1: spend a lot of She's crocheting now, which I'm glad
Speaker 1: she's doing something because she hasn't had a hobby. And
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to pick on her. She hasn't had
Speaker 1: a hobby since she took karate twenty years ago. Sure,
Speaker 1: And I think everybody should have a hobby or a passion,
Speaker 1: and I've got a million of them. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: Jenny plays pickleball and does the unicycle, and you go
Speaker 1: bike riding and you go hiking, and Bailey goes to
Speaker 1: you know, fringe festival and improv and things like that.
Speaker 1: So it's just kind of like, I don't know. It's
Speaker 1: not like we talked about a lot. If your spouse
Speaker 1: got gained a lot of weight, Okay, well that's one thing.
Speaker 1: What if your spouse decided that they didn't want to
Speaker 1: do anything anymore. Sure, And it's been a challenge. I'll
Speaker 1: be honest with you. It's been a challenge because I
Speaker 1: want to go do fun shit, right, I want to
Speaker 1: go not I don't want to do anything dangerous. I
Speaker 1: don't want to go wingsuit flying, No, but I want
Speaker 1: to have some adventure before I'm too old to go
Speaker 1: have adventure. And that's why I climbed Pike's Peak a
Speaker 1: few weeks ago, three weeks ago today, because I want
Speaker 1: to have some adventure.
Speaker 2: I feel like you might have mentioned this already. Does she?
Speaker 3: And this is asking a big question. Do you know
Speaker 3: if she has like any form of depression or anything
Speaker 3: about the contributing factor of like not wanting to do
Speaker 3: anything anymore?
Speaker 2: But you said she hasn't had a hobby in twenty years.
Speaker 1: No, she's never wanted to. She goes up with her
Speaker 1: girlfriends here and there. Sure, I wish she would go more,
Speaker 1: and I just I don't know. I just want her
Speaker 1: to have a happy life for her too. Sure, And
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean I could dig a lot
Speaker 1: deeper and go, Am I the one that's making her bored?
Speaker 1: Am I the one that's making her sit on the couch?
Speaker 1: Am I the one who's not? But I don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean, we went on vacation in Hawaii. We had
Speaker 1: a great time, but her idea of fun on vacation
Speaker 1: was to sit by the pool and play on her
Speaker 1: phone all day. And I'm like, well, let's go do this.
Speaker 1: Let's rent a canoe, let's rent ATVs. No, I'm pretty
Speaker 1: happy here. You can go do it by yourself. I'm like, well,
Speaker 1: I'm not going to go rent an ATV by myself.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but I wouldn't. If Andrew didn't want to do something,
Speaker 4: I'd go do it by myself. And you are like that, Yeah,
Speaker 4: I would absolutely I would not. I do not waste
Speaker 4: my time on vacation, on vacation, okay, No, Like in general,
Speaker 4: if the reason I wanted to do around here too,
Speaker 4: I would go do it by myself.
Speaker 3: Because you just mentioned that you went to like a
Speaker 3: movie by yourself for the first time, like recently, right.
Speaker 4: Because I don't like movies. Okay, it's not because I
Speaker 4: was unsure sure by myself. I just am not a
Speaker 4: movie person.
Speaker 2: That's why.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know, Sarah. That's a really good question.
Speaker 1: And it's not like we fight in bicker all the time.
Speaker 1: But I think sometimes you go, God, you're only I
Speaker 1: think Susan is fifty six, and I think sometimes she
Speaker 1: wants to graduate to sit in a rocker and crochet
Speaker 1: with a cat on her lap stage, and I'm like,
Speaker 1: those days will fucking come. Yeah, those days will come.
Speaker 1: They say when you get older, they're the go go years,
Speaker 1: the slogo years, and the no go years. So go Go, Go,
Speaker 1: Go Go is where you buy an RV and you
Speaker 1: travel to all the national parks, and then the slogo
Speaker 1: years are where you don't really have that kind of energy,
Speaker 1: so you maybe go on a cruise, right, or you
Speaker 1: go on a road trip or whatever. And then the
Speaker 1: no go years are where you don't have a lot
Speaker 1: of choice. You are in a fucking rocker or a
Speaker 1: Rascal scooter and you are looking forward to bingo tonight
Speaker 1: at five o'clock.
Speaker 2: So you're in Go Go and she's in Slowgo slash,
Speaker 2: no Go.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, yeah, and I think I you know, I mean,
Speaker 1: I love her, but I'd still that is frustrated to
Speaker 1: me because I wanted to go do things. Yeah, do
Speaker 1: you want to go do something? Bailey?
Speaker 2: Yeah, we can go do stuff.
Speaker 1: What do you want to go do?
Speaker 2: You asked me to go flying one time and then
Speaker 2: you never asked me again unless vont was available.
Speaker 1: You were I'll take any time you.
Speaker 3: Too, Can you come? And Font was like no, and
Speaker 3: then you're like, oh well that's a bummer.
Speaker 1: Take your fight anytime you want to go?
Speaker 2: Yeah, do you want to go flying. Yes, I do,
Speaker 2: but only when the leaves starts changed. So give me
Speaker 2: a hot minute.
Speaker 1: Well okay, good, okay, yeah, pick pick any thoughts on that.
Speaker 1: Let me know. Maybe there's somebody else who's listening, and
Speaker 1: that's kind of like, yeah, you know what. It's not
Speaker 1: like I'm ready to call Jonathan Fogel, but at the
Speaker 1: same time, I just want more. Yeah you know, yeah, Okay,
Speaker 1: that's all I want to say about that. Thanks for asking,
Speaker 1: Sarah Nosy, all right, next one, Dave Jenny Bailey, don't
Speaker 1: say my name. I appreciate Dave and Jenny clarifying their
Speaker 1: points about weight gain in a relationship. I thought Bailey's
Speaker 1: point was important about looking at the behaviors versus just
Speaker 1: focusing on the weight gain. Currently, I'm in my late twenties.
Speaker 1: Following high school, I went into the Marine Corps. I
Speaker 1: was medically discharged four years later because of health issues
Speaker 1: that developed. It's been a struggle since then with my
Speaker 1: mental health, trying to find the right meds, and I
Speaker 1: developed eating disorders one hundred pound weight gain. Since twenty twenty,
Speaker 1: I've had various unresolved health problems which I've been fighting
Speaker 1: to get figured out this year, I was finally diagnosed
Speaker 1: with several auto immune and hormone disorders. In July, they
Speaker 1: detected an early stage of aggressive rare uterine cancer during
Speaker 1: a scheduled surgery. The treatment is complex, so I'm scared
Speaker 1: about what will happen with that and if I'll get
Speaker 1: to have children. Now I'm properly medicated, continued diet, exercise, dietitian, etc.
Speaker 1: I've lost forty pounds. Thanks you guys for putting on
Speaker 1: a great show and being vulnerable on the radio. You
Speaker 1: brought me joy and comfort during these hard times in
Speaker 1: my life, especially this year. You guys are awesome. Sincerely,
Speaker 1: P one listener P one is a term for like
Speaker 1: people who listen the most like P one, P two three,
Speaker 1: P three, So P one means you listen to KWB
Speaker 1: is the first station of choice. I think one of
Speaker 1: the things that I like about this is we're not
Speaker 1: afraid to like. You know, we say vonsters the pot
Speaker 1: and he'll be like, sushi sucks. Ye, Well, I don't
Speaker 1: think that. I think one of the things that we
Speaker 1: should be able to do on the podcast is give
Speaker 1: a bold opinion and then look for people who have
Speaker 1: different in opinions, and I think that's important to be
Speaker 1: able to do because I think a lot of radio
Speaker 1: shows they're so vanilla they don't want to I don't know,
Speaker 1: rock the boat, so they'll just stick to say things like, oh,
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift is so delightful, and my gosh, I love
Speaker 1: the Minnesota State Fair where I don't mind telling you
Speaker 1: the cherry in the spoon is a piece of shit.
Speaker 1: It is a piece of shit and should be sold
Speaker 1: for scrap metal.
Speaker 4: WHOA Have you ever gone to see it at night?
Speaker 1: Why would it's ugly during the day? Why wouldn't want
Speaker 1: to go see it at night?
Speaker 4: I think it has a different buye at night because
Speaker 4: it's lit up and stuff. I just think that it's
Speaker 4: I think at night it's top tier.
Speaker 2: During the day it's me, you know what.
Speaker 1: And the funny thing is with the cherry and the spoon,
Speaker 1: I don't care. I don't like it. I think it's stupid.
Speaker 1: And I've gone over this a million times and people
Speaker 1: will send me memes and they'll send me funny things
Speaker 1: about the cherry and the spoon. I don't care deeply.
Speaker 1: I just don't spend a lot of time thinking about
Speaker 1: the Cherry in the Spoon.
Speaker 3: I said one time that I didn't like hocus Pocus,
Speaker 3: and now people are like, I'm watching your favorite movie,
Speaker 3: hocus Pocus, and I'm like, uh huh, I'm never gonna
Speaker 3: say I don't like anything ever again.
Speaker 1: I don't want to watch hocus Pocus because Bette Midler's
Speaker 1: teeth and lips in the poster, yeah, are so disturbing.
Speaker 1: I don't want to watch.
Speaker 2: Have you ever seen it?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 2: Oh, it's actually a decent movie.
Speaker 3: I just don't care for it, really, But anyway, that's
Speaker 3: fair enough to know it's same.
Speaker 2: It's my cherry in the spoon.
Speaker 1: Yes, like, yeah, I don't like it. So this is
Speaker 1: a little bit long, but I'm gonna see how much
Speaker 1: we can get through. Hello Minnesota, goodbye, crew. Please keep
Speaker 1: this anonymous. It's extremely controversial subject and honestly, even if
Speaker 1: you don't read this, that's perfectly fine by me. Laugh emoji.
Speaker 1: Listening to the episode you had people we were talking
Speaker 1: about people still wearing masks. Now, assuming you asking good faith,
Speaker 1: I thought I would give you some possible reasons. As
Speaker 1: someone who is part of the COVID aware community in Minnesota.
Speaker 1: While there is no one size fits all answer, and
Speaker 1: many people have more than one reason. The most common
Speaker 1: are they are immune, compromised, or disabled in some way.
Speaker 1: Their spouse or other family member that they have direct
Speaker 1: contact is they were disabled by COVID specifically and had
Speaker 1: someone close to them pass from the disease. They didn't
Speaker 1: get sick while wearing masks, so they continue to do so.
Speaker 1: Much of the COVID cautious community are people who like
Speaker 1: to keep up to date on research articles specifically, and
Speaker 1: then they go on to a big article that says
Speaker 1: COVID is still dangerous. And while some people think who
Speaker 1: masks also alter their behaviors because of more risks, many
Speaker 1: of us go out just with the mask to help
Speaker 1: lower the risk of infection. I still go to most
Speaker 1: of my events that I did pre COVID, dancing, museum, shopping,
Speaker 1: working in person. I just choose to wear a mask
Speaker 1: so I don't end up being bed bound again from
Speaker 1: another COVID infection. I don't mean to sound preach you're
Speaker 1: route no, not at all, because at the end of
Speaker 1: the day, you can do whatever you want to do,
Speaker 1: but just because, but I want to share some of
Speaker 1: the valid reasons that people choose to mask in public.
Speaker 1: Love your show, and I hope that it leads to
Speaker 1: help you understand our reasoning.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think the immuno compromise is the word I
Speaker 3: was trying to come up with yesterday. I couldn't come
Speaker 3: up with that, But that's I have friends who are
Speaker 3: not necessarily themselves are immuno compromised, but like they have
Speaker 3: a direct family member that they see often who is.
Speaker 3: And so those are my friends who continue to wear
Speaker 3: a mask, or they'll do it when they're at like,
Speaker 3: you know, an event or something where there's a lot
Speaker 3: of people that could you know, breathe and sneeze on
Speaker 3: them and whatnot?
Speaker 2: For sure?
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, I don't. You know, I absolutely religiously wore
Speaker 1: a mask. I got the vaccine. You may know me
Speaker 1: as a man of science. And so I think the
Speaker 1: thing is, like, I think if we look back at
Speaker 1: COVID four years plus later, we we realize we may
Speaker 1: have overreacted a little bit. Maybe.
Speaker 3: Well I think we were. We were panicked because we
Speaker 3: didn't know so much exactly.
Speaker 1: Right, That's what I was gonna say. We didn't know, right,
Speaker 1: And I really thought that a lot of us were
Speaker 1: going to die. I thought there are going to be
Speaker 1: several people in this building that die of COVID, And
Speaker 1: I really thought this was one of the biggest and
Speaker 1: it is one of the biggest events in human history
Speaker 1: in the United States or in the world, because it
Speaker 1: affected the entire world. And as it turned out that
Speaker 1: it was not like Bailey's going to drop dead and
Speaker 1: rich is going to drop dead whatever. But I really
Speaker 1: thought we didn't know. And I think we'd also seen
Speaker 1: Contagion with fabulous Gwyneth Paltrow where you got it and
Speaker 1: you died, And I really think there was something to
Speaker 1: that where people thought this could be the one that
Speaker 1: kills half of the year's population.
Speaker 3: I mean, it killed a lot of people, so I
Speaker 3: think it was a valid fear, and like I knew
Speaker 3: people who died, so like I totally get still wearing
Speaker 3: a mask, but like, obviously now vaccines have given us
Speaker 3: like a peace of mind where.
Speaker 2: We don't feel that was our way out.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, but like, if I'm sick, I'll still wear
Speaker 3: a mask because and I think I probably will for
Speaker 3: a long time that if I'm sick, I'll wear a
Speaker 3: mask to benefit the people who are around me.
Speaker 2: If I like go out to a place and have, like,
Speaker 2: you know, a really bad cold.
Speaker 1: So if you had a cold, you would wear a mask. Yeah, okay.
Speaker 1: Next email Dave, long time listener, first time writer. I
Speaker 1: still laugh when I think of midnight masks. So I
Speaker 1: think they're talking about the high Room call years ago
Speaker 1: where Hiram would call the Catholic church and say, Hi,
Speaker 1: what time is midnight Mass tonight? And they'd say, oh,
Speaker 1: it was eleven o'clock and He's like, wait a second,
Speaker 1: Midnight Mass starts at eleven o'clock. And then there was
Speaker 1: a whole bit with Hiram and it was very funny,
Speaker 1: and that was a long time ago. Thanks for remembering
Speaker 1: that one Trevor from Wisconsin. While you were away for
Speaker 1: your Pike's Peak climb, there was a discussion about hand
Speaker 1: washing and that you were disgusting because you don't wash
Speaker 1: your hands after you use the restroom. I'm on your side, true.
Speaker 1: Here's how I've looked at it. Did you guys talk
Speaker 1: about me behind my back?
Speaker 4: I don't know why I got brought up, but something
Speaker 4: got brought up. So of course I dropped your name
Speaker 4: in there. Of the person who doesn't watch it.
Speaker 1: You've been a real bitch today. Jim, you said earlier
Speaker 1: that I walked like Kermit the Frog. You said I
Speaker 1: walk like Kermit the Frog, which hurts my heart.
Speaker 4: I think it's the pumpkin spice latte. It's making me
Speaker 4: a little fiery today.
Speaker 1: Okay, uh, here's the Trevor's thoughts. If you take a dump,
Speaker 1: wash your fucking hands. If you take a leak and
Speaker 1: don't piss on yourself, why the fuck did you get
Speaker 1: What the fuck did you actually get dirty? You need
Speaker 1: to washing it. In a lot of cases, I wash
Speaker 1: my hands before I take a piss. My dick has
Speaker 1: been cleaned in the shower and in my clean underwear
Speaker 1: all day. On the other hand, my hand's been touching
Speaker 1: all kinds of gross shit. Think of being at a
Speaker 1: casino with all the buttons and money you touch. No way,
Speaker 1: my hands are cleaner than my shalong.
Speaker 2: But don't this is an honest question. Doesn't your pen
Speaker 2: get like sweaty during the day?
Speaker 3: Umm?
Speaker 1: Not particularly? No, No, not really.
Speaker 2: Because I would be washing my hands to get like
Speaker 2: the pean off of my hands.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know, I just.
Speaker 2: Or just the pino the penis odor.
Speaker 1: Well, I think some guys don't maintain the ball and
Speaker 1: the dick area very well. And I think of a
Speaker 1: guy is like sweaty and he you know, he's wearing
Speaker 1: the same underwear four days in a row, using the
Speaker 1: same dirty towel for two weeks, sleeping in the same
Speaker 1: dirty sheets. Yeah, he's got a dirty dick.
Speaker 2: Gross.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you got to watch that thing anyway. I
Speaker 1: hope you agree. Bring back Corey foleyl just kidding. Vont
Speaker 1: Jenny Bailey are amazing. PSU are one hundred percent right
Speaker 1: that cauliflower sucks. New staff writer would love a sticker.
Speaker 1: So I say her name is Secretary Brie, and Brie
Speaker 1: will take care of you. Yesterday, I'm going to bring
Speaker 1: this up again because I thought it was so fun
Speaker 1: and interesting. I think I saw this. I get a
Speaker 1: weird I get a feed that's called weird history or
Speaker 1: something on my Facebook, and it was like the best
Speaker 1: movie openings of movies that sucked, and one of them
Speaker 1: was the number one answer was ghost Ship.
Speaker 2: Can you not describe it again?
Speaker 3: Though?
Speaker 1: No, I absolutely will describe it again entertainment. I don't
Speaker 1: want it so for in entertainment purposes. The opening to
Speaker 1: ghost Ship is a very elegant cruise ship and very elegant.
Speaker 1: People are dressed in gowns and tuxedos, and then they're
Speaker 1: dancing on the dance floor and having cocktails and they're
Speaker 1: very elegant and beautiful. And then you see a gloved
Speaker 1: hand reach into the frame and pull a switch. The
Speaker 1: switch trips a wire that rapidly at the high rate
Speaker 1: of speed, sweeps across the dance floor in one's fluid
Speaker 1: motion and cuts everyone in half. And it doesn't they
Speaker 1: don't topple right away, and it's unrealistic because they don't
Speaker 1: die right away. It takes them a moment to realize
Speaker 1: they've been cut in half, and then they top half
Speaker 1: of their body topples over. And it's called ghost Ship
Speaker 1: and it really is. I mean it is like if
Speaker 1: you like horror movies like I do. We're done now, Bailey, Bailey,
Speaker 1: We're done now.
Speaker 2: Thank you.
Speaker 1: Then you find it like, really wow, that was crazy,
Speaker 1: But then they say the rest of the movie sucks.
Speaker 1: This person Chad writes on to say, I was eleven
Speaker 1: years old that movie came out. I thought the trailer
Speaker 1: looked super cool. I had my stepdad take me to
Speaker 1: see it in the theaters. Still crazy. I was only eleven,
Speaker 1: and I thought it was a really cool movie with
Speaker 1: a twist that I never saw coming. It's not really
Speaker 1: that bad. But also, I'm the guy whose favorite movies
Speaker 1: are all the Saw movies. I saw all ten of them.
Speaker 1: Love you guys. Currently live in Colorado and driving back. Now,
Speaker 1: what's funny is our machine failed at that point. Now,
Speaker 1: we went on for a couple of more minutes on
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Goodbye, and one of the things we did
Speaker 1: was ten ways to know that that person is the one,
Speaker 1: and it all got cut off because I looked up
Speaker 1: and the recorder decided to just fucking stop who And
Speaker 1: so we missed Because we have the best music, the
Speaker 1: best content, but the worst equipment. Yes, so the computer
Speaker 1: decided to stop. So we don't even know where it's stopped.
Speaker 1: And we're not going to go back and do that again,
Speaker 1: So we'll just do that tomorrow. So do I sound frustrated?
Speaker 2: You do sound frustrated.
Speaker 3: I think that's okay, though I don't know if this
Speaker 3: got in, But in Whichita you can get a house
Speaker 3: for two hundred and forty thousand dollars.
Speaker 1: No, see that's amazing, because you know, I don't think
Speaker 1: we got to that part yet, because yeah, that was Yeah,
Speaker 1: we talked about a woman who sold her house and made.
Speaker 3: Four thousand profit in four and a half years.
Speaker 1: She sold the house in Montana and made three hundred
Speaker 1: thousand dollars profit. I'm like, that's a house by itself.
Speaker 2: Wild And I looked up Gaylord, Minnesota too.
Speaker 3: You can also get a house for like two hundred
Speaker 3: thousand dollars their full blown house.
Speaker 1: Is that crazy?
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, I'm moving.
Speaker 1: We will continue with that. Just remind me tomorrow because
Speaker 1: I'll forget all about it on the Minnesota goodbye. We'll
Speaker 1: see you tomorrow. Send your emails to Ryan Show at
