WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.480 --> 00:00:03.080 We got some ground to cover here on the Minnesota Goodbye, 2 00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:05.480 So let's get started. I met somebody at the fair 3 00:00:05.679 --> 00:00:09.560 yesterday and her name is Jessica, and you guys met 4 00:00:09.560 --> 00:00:10.880 her too, but I don't know if you remember. It's 5 00:00:10.880 --> 00:00:13.880 hard to remember everybody and their name. Yeah, but she 6 00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:16.960 came up early and she talked for a while and 7 00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:20.199 she very friendly. We met so many cool people, including 8 00:00:20.239 --> 00:00:23.519 an officer at the fair, like a police officer who 9 00:00:23.559 --> 00:00:26.440 came up with a stack of old Dave Ryan Best 10 00:00:26.480 --> 00:00:29.519 Of CDs and I had not seen those in a 11 00:00:29.719 --> 00:00:31.719 very long time. And he's like, yeah, I had him 12 00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:33.439 in my basement. Thought i'd come out and show him 13 00:00:33.479 --> 00:00:35.679 to you, and sure enough, there they were. So that 14 00:00:35.799 --> 00:00:37.759 was fun. We met so many people. There was a 15 00:00:37.759 --> 00:00:43.200 couple that came in from like Arkansas just to see us. Yeah, 16 00:00:43.240 --> 00:00:44.479 I mean, isn't that crazy. 17 00:00:44.560 --> 00:00:46.479 I know some people. Are they the ones who said 18 00:00:46.479 --> 00:00:48.159 that they'd just gotten off the planet? They had to 19 00:00:48.159 --> 00:00:49.759 be lined it there because there was. And then there 20 00:00:49.799 --> 00:00:52.960 was another group. It was two parents and their little 21 00:00:53.039 --> 00:00:55.079 daughter and they like also had just gotten to the 22 00:00:55.119 --> 00:00:57.759 fair and they parked way over on the side where 23 00:00:58.039 --> 00:00:59.560 like the dogs are or whatever or whatever. 24 00:00:59.640 --> 00:00:59.799 Side. 25 00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:01.960 Yeah, and so they got nervous because it was like 26 00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:03.960 twelve thirty and they knew we were only there to one, 27 00:01:04.040 --> 00:01:05.799 so they were like booking it across the fair to 28 00:01:05.840 --> 00:01:06.400 come see us. 29 00:01:06.640 --> 00:01:09.480 That is so flattering. It is just thank you for 30 00:01:09.640 --> 00:01:12.000 if you've met us at the fair, and even if 31 00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:14.280 you didn't, thank you for being here on the Minnesota Goodbye. 32 00:01:14.359 --> 00:01:19.560 So Jessica comes up and she said that she told 33 00:01:19.599 --> 00:01:24.079 me this story, and I said she had sent in 34 00:01:24.120 --> 00:01:27.040 an email that I missed. So she said, did you 35 00:01:27.079 --> 00:01:29.480 read my email about Pike's Peak? And I said I 36 00:01:29.519 --> 00:01:32.840 don't think so, because sometimes we missed them. Yeah, and 37 00:01:32.920 --> 00:01:35.280 so she said I'll resend it. So here she is 38 00:01:35.400 --> 00:01:39.400 sending it again. Huge fan here, you can say my name, Jessica. 39 00:01:40.159 --> 00:01:42.680 Please make sure Dave reads this one. I've been listening 40 00:01:42.719 --> 00:01:44.840 forever and love you guys. Still getting used to fallon 41 00:01:44.920 --> 00:01:46.920 being gone for the show, but I remember when she 42 00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:49.280 first started and I was so mad that Lena was gone. 43 00:01:49.319 --> 00:01:50.920 And I'm sure I'll get over it, and I love 44 00:01:50.920 --> 00:01:53.120 you all. I listened back in the Cory Foly days. 45 00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:57.120 La absolutely love you all. Anyway. She talks about her 46 00:01:57.200 --> 00:02:00.040 listening to the podcast and she loves the Minnesota goodbye 47 00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:02.319 and that's her guilty pleasure, and she listens while she's 48 00:02:02.359 --> 00:02:05.680 doing laundry, et cetera, et cetera. I have been saving 49 00:02:05.719 --> 00:02:08.159 so many Minnesota goodbyes for so long. I started listening 50 00:02:08.159 --> 00:02:11.319 to the oldest ones, and I listened to the Minnesota 51 00:02:11.319 --> 00:02:17.759 Goodbye of twelve twelve, twenty twenty two. It's called bad etiquette. 52 00:02:18.240 --> 00:02:21.800 So almost two years ago, Dave said on that podcast 53 00:02:21.840 --> 00:02:23.879 he always wanted to hike Pike's Peak, but he thinks 54 00:02:23.919 --> 00:02:25.960 he needs to give up on it because he will 55 00:02:26.039 --> 00:02:29.639 never do it. And then she said, on today, July 56 00:02:29.759 --> 00:02:32.120 thirty first, when she originally wrote it was the day 57 00:02:32.120 --> 00:02:33.919 he plans to do it. He's been off this week. 58 00:02:33.960 --> 00:02:35.719 I just think it's awesome that he's been working so 59 00:02:35.840 --> 00:02:38.800 hard and should be reaching that goal this week, and 60 00:02:39.719 --> 00:02:43.000 so thank you, Jessica. I guess I don't remember it, 61 00:02:43.039 --> 00:02:45.039 but two years ago I was talking about hiking Pike's 62 00:02:45.039 --> 00:02:46.560 Peak and I said I got to give up on 63 00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:48.439 it because I'll never do it, And then I went 64 00:02:48.479 --> 00:02:48.800 and did it. 65 00:02:48.840 --> 00:02:50.199 I was going to say, why do you think that 66 00:02:50.280 --> 00:02:51.360 you were saying that back. 67 00:02:51.199 --> 00:02:54.280 Then, because it is a very daunting task and I 68 00:02:54.319 --> 00:02:56.199 really thought that I was like too old to do 69 00:02:56.240 --> 00:02:58.599 it and it is just so difficult. But I think 70 00:02:58.639 --> 00:03:00.199 I want to do it again next summer. And I 71 00:03:00.199 --> 00:03:01.439 wanted to go up with Carson. 72 00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:03.479 Oh I should talk to him about that. 73 00:03:03.560 --> 00:03:05.800 I did. I said, do you want to hike up Pikes? Yeah? Right? 74 00:03:06.199 --> 00:03:07.719 I said, you want to hike up Pike's Peak with 75 00:03:07.759 --> 00:03:10.039 me next summer? And he's like, you know, he's very 76 00:03:10.719 --> 00:03:15.159 unexcited about everything. Ye yeah, Like yeah, sure, I'm like, okay, well, 77 00:03:15.199 --> 00:03:16.560 then I think we should do it. 78 00:03:16.599 --> 00:03:18.759 Carson seems like one of those kids who like he 79 00:03:18.800 --> 00:03:21.000 probably doesn't work out, but he can just go do things. 80 00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:23.599 I know who he is, because that's how Andrew is too. 81 00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:27.960 Like it's like, oh, I'm I take staremaster classes. Who 82 00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:30.039 you so you think I'd be great at hiking up 83 00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:32.439 mountains but I'm dying. And Andrew doesn't even know what 84 00:03:32.479 --> 00:03:35.120 a StairMaster pretty much is, and he can like crush 85 00:03:35.159 --> 00:03:36.120 the hiking up a mountain. 86 00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:38.960 Yeah. We did a five k on Saint Patrick's Day 87 00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:41.319 in Colorado Springs and I'd been running for a while, 88 00:03:41.520 --> 00:03:44.199 and you know, I think a lot of it is youth. Yes, 89 00:03:44.240 --> 00:03:46.520 And Carson ran with me for a mile or so. 90 00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:48.520 Then I said, go ahead and run at your own pace, 91 00:03:48.560 --> 00:03:50.159 and he pulled that way in front of me. So 92 00:03:51.919 --> 00:03:54.599 uh well, I Needa writes in she says, hey y'all, hey, 93 00:03:55.039 --> 00:03:56.919 w I need to hear. Don't worry, this isn't a rant. 94 00:03:56.960 --> 00:03:58.800 I'm going to save those for the weekly video you 95 00:03:58.840 --> 00:04:02.879 asked for. Her husband suggested, instead of naming it Juanita's Corner, 96 00:04:03.400 --> 00:04:07.360 call it the Naggy Nelly Hour. Haha. He's hilarious, fucking 97 00:04:07.479 --> 00:04:10.360 not anyway. I just want to say how much I 98 00:04:10.439 --> 00:04:15.680 enjoyed you guys. First trap pictures, Bailey, you look so adorable, Jenny, 99 00:04:15.759 --> 00:04:18.759 way to show off those hoots. Vaunce. I must say 100 00:04:18.759 --> 00:04:21.000 you look like a sexy teenage boy, and I felt 101 00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:25.360 like a pedophile looking at your picture. Still look nice, though, Dave. 102 00:04:25.399 --> 00:04:26.959 I swear I looked at your picture and the first 103 00:04:26.959 --> 00:04:28.839 thing that came to mind was wet like the rain. 104 00:04:29.639 --> 00:04:31.439 I hope you guys had a safe, have a safe, 105 00:04:31.439 --> 00:04:34.439 fun weekend. I'll talk to you next week. Love y'all. Bye. 106 00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:36.959 If you didn't haven't heard of Juanita. She had been 107 00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:39.399 writing in some funny rants, and I said, make a 108 00:04:39.439 --> 00:04:41.319 video and she did, and it was like listening to 109 00:04:41.319 --> 00:04:43.959 a stand up routine. That's funny, and that was probably 110 00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:46.920 on Monday or Tuesday's podcast, if you want to go 111 00:04:46.959 --> 00:04:52.439 back and listen to Juanita's stand up routine. Laurel writes 112 00:04:52.480 --> 00:04:55.519 in and she lives in Phoenix, and I think we 113 00:04:55.560 --> 00:04:58.079 read her email on the Minnesota goodbye and I'm always 114 00:04:58.160 --> 00:05:01.720 curious how you found our show or why you listen 115 00:05:01.759 --> 00:05:04.040 in another state, And she says, you asked me to 116 00:05:04.040 --> 00:05:06.120 write in about how I found your show while I 117 00:05:06.199 --> 00:05:08.800 live in Phoenix. I'm born and raised Minnesotan, lived for 118 00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:11.240 twenty six years in the Western suburbs, and I was 119 00:05:11.319 --> 00:05:13.240 sick and tired of the winters. My boyfriend at the 120 00:05:13.279 --> 00:05:15.920 time had the opportunity to transfer to Phoenix for his job, 121 00:05:16.480 --> 00:05:18.639 so I felt it was the perfect opportunity for us 122 00:05:18.639 --> 00:05:21.040 to move across the country on a new adventure. It 123 00:05:21.240 --> 00:05:24.079 was one of the best decisions I ever made, despite 124 00:05:24.079 --> 00:05:27.439 my mother's constant comments about wanting me to move back. 125 00:05:27.920 --> 00:05:30.600 I've seen Chase your Son on TV a few times. 126 00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:33.959 It's a weird small world. I've been in Arizona five 127 00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:36.439 and a half years now, trying to move to La 128 00:05:36.519 --> 00:05:38.399 as soon as I find a new job, I want 129 00:05:38.439 --> 00:05:41.959 to be closer to the entertainment world year round outdoor 130 00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:44.959 activities and get out of the Phoenix summer heat. Maybe 131 00:05:45.000 --> 00:05:48.000 I'll run into Carson because that's where he lives now, 132 00:05:49.279 --> 00:05:53.240 thank you, Laurel. Yeah, Phoenix is deathly hot in the summer, 133 00:05:53.360 --> 00:05:54.519 just like one hundred and twelve degrees. 134 00:05:54.639 --> 00:05:57.160 Holy crap. But it's a dry heat, you. 135 00:05:57.199 --> 00:05:59.720 Know, people say that it is still. I lived in 136 00:05:59.759 --> 00:06:03.040 Phoenix for about three or so years, and the thing 137 00:06:03.040 --> 00:06:06.279 about Phoenix is in the summer you have to put 138 00:06:06.279 --> 00:06:09.000 a sunshade in the windshield of your car or your 139 00:06:09.079 --> 00:06:13.720 dashboard will crack and your steering will will crack. Really, yes, 140 00:06:16.079 --> 00:06:18.639 you construction workers go out to work at like five 141 00:06:18.680 --> 00:06:21.439 in the morning because it's too hot by noon to 142 00:06:21.480 --> 00:06:24.560 work outside. Nobody plays tennis or golf in the summer 143 00:06:24.839 --> 00:06:27.199 because it's too hot. They play it more in the 144 00:06:27.199 --> 00:06:27.680 winter time. 145 00:06:27.759 --> 00:06:28.360 Oh, why do. 146 00:06:28.399 --> 00:06:29.560 People retire there? 147 00:06:29.639 --> 00:06:30.480 That sounds awful. 148 00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:32.319 No, snow is old. 149 00:06:32.839 --> 00:06:34.560 I feel like I would walk outside and be like, 150 00:06:34.720 --> 00:06:35.720 this is so weird. 151 00:06:35.959 --> 00:06:38.439 You know when you're baking and you open up the oven, yeah, 152 00:06:38.480 --> 00:06:40.800 to get your pie or cookies out. Yeah, and that 153 00:06:40.920 --> 00:06:43.319 blast of heat comes up in your face. Yeah, that's 154 00:06:43.319 --> 00:06:44.839 what it feels like in Phoenix all. 155 00:06:44.759 --> 00:06:47.519 The time, all the time, and it really is stifling. 156 00:06:47.759 --> 00:06:49.759 But some people love it. I mean, Julie lived there 157 00:06:49.800 --> 00:06:54.879 her entire life and she loved it. Next one, this 158 00:06:55.079 --> 00:06:57.839 is sid in New York City. I'm currently listening to 159 00:06:57.879 --> 00:06:59.600 the podcast on a subway right out to. 160 00:06:59.680 --> 00:07:01.560 Queen Oh, I know, said shout out. 161 00:07:02.040 --> 00:07:03.839 Is that our Sydney or No, it's. 162 00:07:03.680 --> 00:07:05.720 A difference at NYME, But I just know her. She 163 00:07:06.120 --> 00:07:08.800 works for the same company as my sister, and she's 164 00:07:08.839 --> 00:07:10.439 to live in the Twin Cities in her an IDM 165 00:07:10.439 --> 00:07:10.720 a lot. 166 00:07:10.759 --> 00:07:13.319 So okay, Yeah, she's going up to Queen's for the 167 00:07:13.360 --> 00:07:15.920 US Open tennis tournament. I'm listening to talk about tuition 168 00:07:16.000 --> 00:07:18.759 at schools in Minnesota. I don't know how much college 169 00:07:18.800 --> 00:07:21.160 was when I went to the U in twenty fourteen 170 00:07:21.199 --> 00:07:23.319 to twenty eighteen, but Jenny made a comment about the 171 00:07:23.360 --> 00:07:28.680 price for her. Did reciprocity not exist when you started college? 172 00:07:29.199 --> 00:07:33.360 Minnesota and Wisconsin residents get end state tuition at respective schools. 173 00:07:33.480 --> 00:07:35.920 I lived in Hudson, and I'm pretty sure I had 174 00:07:35.959 --> 00:07:39.839 in state tuition. I transparently had a scholarship, so I 175 00:07:39.839 --> 00:07:42.240 really didn't pay attention to the numbers, but either way, 176 00:07:42.360 --> 00:07:43.040 it existed. 177 00:07:43.240 --> 00:07:45.839 No, it did, I think I wasn't, I think because 178 00:07:45.879 --> 00:07:48.480 we weren't including room and board. So I was thinking 179 00:07:48.480 --> 00:07:51.560 how much I remember paying for like my first semester, 180 00:07:51.600 --> 00:07:53.279 because I had saved so much money that I was 181 00:07:53.319 --> 00:07:55.800 able to pay for my first semester on my own, 182 00:07:56.279 --> 00:07:58.639 and so I think like with the room and board included. 183 00:07:58.680 --> 00:08:00.920 That's why I was like, I don't remember being that. 184 00:08:01.040 --> 00:08:04.120 Yeah, I was just reading just tuition like to take classes. 185 00:08:04.160 --> 00:08:06.639 So if you were living at home and taking classes, 186 00:08:06.680 --> 00:08:07.240 that's someone who. 187 00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:10.040 Would be okay, not room and board. Yay. A question 188 00:08:10.120 --> 00:08:11.680 for the group, if you go back in time and 189 00:08:11.720 --> 00:08:16.560 study abroad in college or do a similar hypothetical adult experience, Now, 190 00:08:17.079 --> 00:08:20.040 where would you want to go for your semester of 191 00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:23.240 four months? Okay, good question. Allison went to Australia for 192 00:08:23.360 --> 00:08:27.040 jay term. I don't know that Chase went anywhere. Did 193 00:08:27.040 --> 00:08:29.079 you go anywhere for a no abroad? 194 00:08:29.319 --> 00:08:32.159 My biggest regret in college was I even went to 195 00:08:32.440 --> 00:08:34.919 the classes to learn about how to go abroad and stuff, 196 00:08:34.919 --> 00:08:37.080 but I thought it wasn't plausible for me because I 197 00:08:37.080 --> 00:08:39.039 didn't have any money. Yeah, I was like, there's no 198 00:08:39.120 --> 00:08:40.840 way I can add even more debt. 199 00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:43.039 Afore this I felt the same way. 200 00:08:43.080 --> 00:08:45.399 I did not go anywhere, but if I could, I 201 00:08:45.440 --> 00:08:48.279 would totally go to lake. I don't know, Scottish Highlands 202 00:08:48.320 --> 00:08:51.440 would be cool, or like Greece would be cool, or 203 00:08:52.759 --> 00:08:54.440 I don't know. I would go anywhere. 204 00:08:54.480 --> 00:08:56.879 If somebody was like, here's a ticket, go learn something, 205 00:08:56.919 --> 00:08:58.039 I'd be like, Okay. 206 00:08:57.759 --> 00:09:01.320 I've never thought about that. I think maybe I think 207 00:09:01.360 --> 00:09:05.919 you're South Korea because those are my roots, you see, 208 00:09:05.919 --> 00:09:09.120 because I'm twenty percent you and your roots. Yeah, and 209 00:09:09.159 --> 00:09:11.240 then I'm like I've got a lot of German too, 210 00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:14.799 so yeah, I don't know. I've never thought about that. 211 00:09:15.200 --> 00:09:17.960 I'm not a big desirous traveler. People are like, I 212 00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:20.480 want to travel, I want to travel. I don't want 213 00:09:20.519 --> 00:09:24.320 to go to Greece. I've been to Italy because. 214 00:09:24.039 --> 00:09:26.240 You don't like to travel, because I know you like 215 00:09:26.519 --> 00:09:29.000 to learn about like history and stuff like that. Is 216 00:09:29.039 --> 00:09:32.480 that the process of traveling? That doesn't it could be 217 00:09:32.679 --> 00:09:33.600 you or what is it? 218 00:09:33.679 --> 00:09:33.879 Yeah? 219 00:09:33.879 --> 00:09:35.960 Because I mean I don't like to I hate the 220 00:09:35.960 --> 00:09:39.159 thought of flying. Obviously, the flight to Thailand was miserable 221 00:09:39.159 --> 00:09:41.440 for me because I already like hate for you, like flying, 222 00:09:41.720 --> 00:09:44.679 but I just desire to see other cultures. 223 00:09:44.720 --> 00:09:46.399 I think is like one of the main things that 224 00:09:46.559 --> 00:09:47.039 drives me. 225 00:09:48.639 --> 00:09:52.480 Well. The thing about traveling overseas, there's foreigners everywhere, you 226 00:09:52.480 --> 00:09:55.759 know what I mean, babbling in some weird language is 227 00:09:55.840 --> 00:09:58.720 like we we And I'm like, can you speak English? 228 00:09:58.919 --> 00:10:01.759 We speak Engleing. 229 00:10:01.480 --> 00:10:04.320 Most of them do, and were the doe is you 230 00:10:04.480 --> 00:10:06.480 can't speak anything besides English? 231 00:10:06.559 --> 00:10:10.679 It is so true, Dave Jenny Bailey. Listening to the 232 00:10:10.759 --> 00:10:13.480 Thursday Minnesota Goodbye, You're talking about hockey parents and Jenny 233 00:10:13.519 --> 00:10:17.639 mentioned she doesn't want to attend her fictitious kids' sporting events, 234 00:10:17.679 --> 00:10:21.799 which actually surprised me. First, I was a hockey player, 235 00:10:22.320 --> 00:10:24.879 and my literal dream is to drive my kids to 236 00:10:24.960 --> 00:10:27.279 hockey practice while I slip on a hot mocha and 237 00:10:27.399 --> 00:10:30.120 chat with other hockey moms about how great my son 238 00:10:30.240 --> 00:10:33.360 is going to weekend tournaments and drinking with the parents 239 00:10:33.399 --> 00:10:36.039 in the hotel while the kids fun run feral in 240 00:10:36.080 --> 00:10:38.440 the hallways or in the pool area. I am so 241 00:10:38.519 --> 00:10:41.440 hopeful I get to do that experience. However, my husband 242 00:10:41.480 --> 00:10:45.679 was a football player, wants to push football over hockey. Anyway, 243 00:10:45.720 --> 00:10:47.919 we'll figure it out and probably give our son, currently 244 00:10:47.960 --> 00:10:49.879 one and a half years old, the choice of whatever 245 00:10:49.919 --> 00:10:52.679 he wants to play, and you might be surprised they 246 00:10:52.759 --> 00:10:54.960 might not want to play anything. Yeah. 247 00:10:55.039 --> 00:10:57.159 Well, when she frames it that way, that does sound 248 00:10:57.200 --> 00:11:00.919 a little more exciting than me sip and mocha. Yea, yeah, 249 00:11:01.080 --> 00:11:03.600 like that sounds exciting. But the thought of like having 250 00:11:03.600 --> 00:11:06.039 to attend things constantly when all I want to do 251 00:11:06.120 --> 00:11:07.960 is like, I don't know, put the laundry away because 252 00:11:08.000 --> 00:11:10.879 I haven't in two weeks. That's where I'm like, Yeah, 253 00:11:10.919 --> 00:11:12.879 I don't want to be stuck going to all these things. 254 00:11:12.919 --> 00:11:15.799 Well then they mentioned they say, Jenny, this is from Sydney, 255 00:11:15.799 --> 00:11:18.480 who's a regular staff writer. I'm surprised Jenny said she 256 00:11:18.600 --> 00:11:20.960 wouldn't want to go to do that stuff. Given the 257 00:11:20.960 --> 00:11:24.519 fact that she's competitive and an avid kickball pickleballer. I 258 00:11:24.559 --> 00:11:26.840 would assume you'd be screaming and yelling at your kids' 259 00:11:26.840 --> 00:11:28.879 sporting events. Maybe you would, but maybe this is just 260 00:11:28.919 --> 00:11:32.039 a good reminder that the kid part is not really 261 00:11:32.039 --> 00:11:35.639 what you want. Third, I don't think I have anything else, 262 00:11:35.679 --> 00:11:37.759 but I wanted to share that literally being a mom 263 00:11:37.799 --> 00:11:40.000 that hauls my kids at their sporting events is something 264 00:11:40.080 --> 00:11:43.399 I have looked forward to for so many years, anxiously 265 00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:45.000 awaiting for my one and a half year old to 266 00:11:45.000 --> 00:11:47.840 get big enough to start joining sports teams, even the 267 00:11:47.879 --> 00:11:50.799 silly rec league, so he can perfect his skills and 268 00:11:50.960 --> 00:11:53.840 lead to a professional athlete, so I can retire early 269 00:11:53.919 --> 00:11:56.720 and visit all the places he plays. A girl can dream. 270 00:11:57.200 --> 00:11:59.159 Cheers all have a wonderful Labor Day weekend. If you 271 00:11:59.200 --> 00:12:03.159 read this before, I you know what I I never 272 00:12:03.159 --> 00:12:06.279 came from an athletic family, so we never pressured anybody 273 00:12:06.279 --> 00:12:10.320 on our in our kids to play sports. Beth did gymnastics. 274 00:12:10.399 --> 00:12:14.399 Chase played Little League. He sucked. He was not good 275 00:12:14.399 --> 00:12:16.440 at little league. I was. I was in the Little league 276 00:12:16.440 --> 00:12:18.639 and I sucked. I hated getting up to bat because 277 00:12:18.720 --> 00:12:22.600 I knew that I would strike out and yeah, I 278 00:12:22.720 --> 00:12:26.519 just and Alison played volleyball. We didn't do sports, so 279 00:12:26.639 --> 00:12:29.080 there was no pressure on any of our kids to like, 280 00:12:29.120 --> 00:12:31.960 You're going to be a great basketball player. Allison m h. 281 00:12:32.399 --> 00:12:34.159 I think I when I was in seventh grade, I 282 00:12:34.240 --> 00:12:35.879 just decided. I was like, you know, I think I'm 283 00:12:35.879 --> 00:12:38.159 going to audition for the play. And my mom was 284 00:12:38.200 --> 00:12:40.480 just like cool, go for it. And so that's the 285 00:12:40.480 --> 00:12:43.159 only activity that I went into until I was convinced 286 00:12:43.200 --> 00:12:45.000 to do the speech team. And even then it wasn't 287 00:12:45.000 --> 00:12:47.600 because my mom told me to. I did dance because 288 00:12:47.639 --> 00:12:49.600 you know, like when you're three and your mom puts 289 00:12:49.600 --> 00:12:50.440 you in dance. 290 00:12:50.240 --> 00:12:53.879 Yeah, I did dance. Is like tumbling around, yeah exactly. 291 00:12:53.759 --> 00:12:56.080 Just like, yeah, I'm just going to shuffle step around. 292 00:12:56.480 --> 00:12:58.080 And I did that for like five years. 293 00:12:58.120 --> 00:13:01.639 But I think, like deaf, I've always thought this that 294 00:13:01.679 --> 00:13:04.240 if you want your kid to do something like, you 295 00:13:04.279 --> 00:13:06.759 have to be really into that thing and then don't 296 00:13:06.759 --> 00:13:08.759 give them the option to drop out of it until 297 00:13:08.799 --> 00:13:10.039 they're like in high school. 298 00:13:11.159 --> 00:13:14.519 I think there is definitely a huge pattern of Mom 299 00:13:14.600 --> 00:13:17.639 was athletics, so kid is athletic. Dad was in hockey, 300 00:13:17.720 --> 00:13:19.799 so kid is in hockey. And I think it's because 301 00:13:19.840 --> 00:13:21.960 you introduced them. It's kind of like I was in 302 00:13:22.039 --> 00:13:26.720 boy Scouts, so Carson was deeply involved in boy Scouts. 303 00:13:27.879 --> 00:13:30.879 Susan was in band, and so I think that helped. 304 00:13:30.919 --> 00:13:32.679 And I was in band too, but she was really good, 305 00:13:32.840 --> 00:13:35.200 so I think that helped. With like musicianships, So maybe 306 00:13:35.240 --> 00:13:39.279 if you're a great musician, your kids will grow up musically inclined. 307 00:13:39.360 --> 00:13:41.000 That was the one thing my mom could not get 308 00:13:41.000 --> 00:13:43.440 my sisters and I to be into because she learned 309 00:13:43.440 --> 00:13:46.360 piano and played clarinet and I am. It is one 310 00:13:46.399 --> 00:13:47.840 of those things where I look back and I wish 311 00:13:47.840 --> 00:13:50.000 she would have pushed me to stay in piano long right, Yeah, 312 00:13:50.000 --> 00:13:50.759 but clarinet. 313 00:13:50.799 --> 00:13:51.360 I hated it. 314 00:13:51.440 --> 00:13:53.720 I do not care that I eventually quit. And I 315 00:13:53.799 --> 00:13:56.000 like fought her every year when she'd sign me up 316 00:13:56.000 --> 00:13:58.080 for band because I played from like fourth grade to 317 00:13:58.399 --> 00:14:02.039 seventh or eighth grade, and I like literally remember I 318 00:14:02.080 --> 00:14:04.759 got a bee on an assignment because I didn't turn 319 00:14:04.799 --> 00:14:07.240 my band sheet in or like on time, which was 320 00:14:07.279 --> 00:14:07.639 never me. 321 00:14:07.720 --> 00:14:09.000 I was like a straight A student. 322 00:14:09.159 --> 00:14:11.679 Yeah, and I got a B because I was trying 323 00:14:11.679 --> 00:14:12.720 to fight her so much. 324 00:14:12.840 --> 00:14:15.720 It'll be like I don't want to do band, but. 325 00:14:16.080 --> 00:14:18.240 Yeah, she was. My mom was a band nerd. 326 00:14:18.039 --> 00:14:21.320 For sure, and sometimes that's you know, they go different 327 00:14:21.320 --> 00:14:23.759 directions anyway, Sidney, I hope your kids do exactly what 328 00:14:23.799 --> 00:14:27.240 you hope they what you want them to do, Yellow 329 00:14:27.799 --> 00:14:30.720 says Hillary Yellow. I'm catching up on old episodes and 330 00:14:30.720 --> 00:14:33.000 listen to the one where Dave talked about face blindness 331 00:14:33.000 --> 00:14:35.559 where you don't recognize faces. A friend of mine from 332 00:14:35.559 --> 00:14:38.480 my band came up to the fair yesterday, Gina, and 333 00:14:38.519 --> 00:14:40.200 she walks up, and it took me a good three 334 00:14:40.279 --> 00:14:42.840 seconds to realize who she was. And I've seen her 335 00:14:42.840 --> 00:14:46.879 face a million times, but I just wasn't expecting her 336 00:14:46.879 --> 00:14:48.919 to come up. And so she walks up, and here's 337 00:14:48.960 --> 00:14:53.000 this attractive woman who's probably fifty years old, and I'm like, okay, 338 00:14:53.240 --> 00:14:56.440 oh it's Gina. So it takes a minute. I have 339 00:14:56.519 --> 00:14:58.759 the opposite. I have a photographic memory, so I could 340 00:14:58.759 --> 00:15:01.559 remember more people than the average person. I don't always 341 00:15:01.600 --> 00:15:03.960 remember their name, but I can usually recall that I 342 00:15:04.080 --> 00:15:07.320 know them and where I know them from. For example, 343 00:15:08.039 --> 00:15:10.039 I was at a birthday party for a kid in 344 00:15:10.080 --> 00:15:13.320 my daughter's class a few weeks ago. I saw another 345 00:15:13.320 --> 00:15:16.399 mom I knew, and I realized when I asked where 346 00:15:16.440 --> 00:15:19.320 she went to high school, Yep, she graduated a year 347 00:15:19.360 --> 00:15:21.600 behind me. Sometimes I wonder if people take it as 348 00:15:21.600 --> 00:15:24.039 a compliment that I remember them, or think that I'm 349 00:15:24.080 --> 00:15:26.759 a nerd because I remember them. You know what, that's 350 00:15:26.759 --> 00:15:29.240 a that's a weird talent. But I think I would 351 00:15:29.279 --> 00:15:32.440 remember a lot of faces from high school I don't know. 352 00:15:33.440 --> 00:15:34.279 Maybe I don't know. 353 00:15:34.879 --> 00:15:36.919 I feel like, yeah, I don't know. 354 00:15:36.960 --> 00:15:39.600 I feel like I'm starting to develop the face blindness 355 00:15:39.600 --> 00:15:41.919 thing that you have, because it's like been a struggle 356 00:15:41.960 --> 00:15:43.120 for me now lately. 357 00:15:43.200 --> 00:15:45.120 Maybe because you all just know so many people, so 358 00:15:45.120 --> 00:15:46.639 they'll blend together after a while. 359 00:15:46.679 --> 00:15:47.799 You meet so many people. 360 00:15:47.919 --> 00:15:49.639 I do think that we meet a lot of people, 361 00:15:49.639 --> 00:15:52.720 and that plays a huge factor in that happening to us. 362 00:15:52.840 --> 00:15:54.919 I think we meet a lot of strangers. Yeah, right, 363 00:15:55.039 --> 00:15:58.720 And I think that's what it is because most of 364 00:15:58.759 --> 00:16:00.320 the people that come up to me to sit in 365 00:16:00.320 --> 00:16:03.240 an event or the fair, we don't know their face. 366 00:16:04.120 --> 00:16:08.919 So my mind, I think defaults too. You are somebody 367 00:16:08.919 --> 00:16:12.480 who listens to the show, not somebody who's face I recognize, 368 00:16:12.519 --> 00:16:16.080 So my mind will default to this is a stranger 369 00:16:17.200 --> 00:16:18.480 that I'm about to get to know. 370 00:16:19.120 --> 00:16:21.840 Yes, that's exactly what happened to me recently because I 371 00:16:21.919 --> 00:16:24.360 was hanging out before a concert with a friend and 372 00:16:24.399 --> 00:16:26.120 someone came up to me at the bar and. 373 00:16:26.120 --> 00:16:27.399 Was like, Hey, do you remember me? 374 00:16:28.039 --> 00:16:30.240 And so I assumed it was like maybe someone I'd 375 00:16:30.240 --> 00:16:33.879 met at an event, and so I was like, uh no, 376 00:16:35.039 --> 00:16:37.519 it just remind me and They're like, it's Aspen, Like 377 00:16:37.559 --> 00:16:39.960 we worked together at Bubba Gumps, and I was like oh, 378 00:16:40.039 --> 00:16:42.000 and then it was like yeah, clicked. But I was 379 00:16:42.039 --> 00:16:44.279 just expecting it to be someone who I maybe met 380 00:16:44.360 --> 00:16:46.960 for two seconds. But I worked with this girl for 381 00:16:47.000 --> 00:16:49.000 like three years at Bubba Gumps. So I was like, 382 00:16:49.080 --> 00:16:51.039 I'm sorry, Aspen, you just caught me off guard. 383 00:16:51.039 --> 00:16:51.600 Of course I. 384 00:16:51.480 --> 00:16:53.159 Remember I'm embarrassing. 385 00:16:53.240 --> 00:16:55.159 Yeah, yeah, but in the moment, it's like you'd think 386 00:16:55.200 --> 00:16:57.840 you'd recognize this person's face that you worked with for 387 00:16:57.879 --> 00:16:58.639 three years. 388 00:16:58.759 --> 00:16:59.000 You know. 389 00:16:59.440 --> 00:17:02.320 I worked with Angie Taylor for like many years, and 390 00:17:02.360 --> 00:17:04.039 she came up to me at a radio conference and 391 00:17:04.039 --> 00:17:07.559 grabbed my ass and I turned around because that's very Angie. 392 00:17:07.599 --> 00:17:11.519 She's so inappropriate and that's why I love her. And 393 00:17:11.680 --> 00:17:14.440 I turn around and I'm like hey, and she's like, Dave, 394 00:17:14.480 --> 00:17:18.640 it's Angie.
