Speaker 1: Scams are so funny because some of them are really
Speaker 1: obvious scams and some are like a little bit more clever.
Speaker 1: And the reason I bring it up is because this
Speaker 1: has been going around for a year, maybe close to
Speaker 1: two years, And basically it's a Facebook scam that says
Speaker 1: you have won one thousand dollars and people will click
Speaker 1: on this and it says you will then need to
Speaker 1: enter your credit card and you will then get a
Speaker 1: thousand dollars and it's all from the Dave Ryan Show.
Speaker 1: And we got another one of these. Somebody wrote this
Speaker 1: morning and said, hey, is this a scam? And they
Speaker 1: were smart enough to realize it was a scam, but
Speaker 1: it just is so badly written. First of all, it
Speaker 1: has a picture of the Dave Ryan Show and it's
Speaker 1: the wrong it's me laughing into the microphone. It's not
Speaker 1: the right one. And then it has a link that
Speaker 1: says congratulations to the chosen winner. Dave Ryan Show give
Speaker 1: away one thousand dollars, exclusive only for thirty people. After
Speaker 1: a successful registration, please immediately send proof of registration a screenshot.
Speaker 1: Do not miss this opportunity comma. If there is no
Speaker 1: response in registration, we will cancel you as the winner,
Speaker 1: which is written by somebody who almost knows how to
Speaker 1: write perfect English. Yeah, but not quite, because you would
Speaker 1: never say, I mean, we would never say, for example,
Speaker 1: congratulations to the chosen winner. That's not what we would say.
Speaker 2: Sounds kind of that's a robot.
Speaker 1: Well robotic or maybe somebody who speaks I don't know, Russian,
Speaker 1: sure or Polish that they're very close. Yeah, but we
Speaker 1: would never say congratulations the chosen winner. And we would
Speaker 1: never say, do not miss this opportunity, comma. If there
Speaker 1: is no response, comma, we would say, do not miss
Speaker 1: this opportunity exclamation point.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so that we don't have thirty thousand dollars to
Speaker 2: hand out to.
Speaker 1: Me, No, we do not, and it just goes on
Speaker 1: some more. Just like register now, you will be directed
Speaker 1: to our sponsor's page. Please continue to register to avoid
Speaker 1: Each winner must go through the verification stage and the
Speaker 1: car details serve to make sure you are the person
Speaker 1: we chose and are truly valid. So again, it's I'm
Speaker 1: glad that people are onto these things. Yeah. Is it
Speaker 1: true that sometimes you answer your phone, your cell phone,
Speaker 1: and you go hello, and somebody goes is this Bailey
Speaker 1: hass And you go yes, and then the rumor is
Speaker 1: they record you saying yes yea, so they can use
Speaker 1: your voice to get your credit card company to believe
Speaker 1: it's you or something like that.
Speaker 2: Just why I just never answer a phone number from
Speaker 2: something I don't recognize. Yeah, never ever, if they need me,
Speaker 2: they'll leave a message, right. Yeah.
Speaker 3: There's also no way that the credit card company can
Speaker 3: just like give approval for information based off of someone.
Speaker 1: Saying yes though probably true.
Speaker 3: Yeah, way too many other things you have to confirm
Speaker 3: than just an automated yes yes. It's not like they're like,
Speaker 3: all right, so your last four of your social is one, two, three,
Speaker 3: four barely says yes yes.
Speaker 1: Now that's not how it works, you know, right. That's
Speaker 1: from Katie. Thank you, Katie. Oh would knock over James?
Speaker 3: I don't know. I got my big standa boots on
Speaker 3: today and all I did was like move my foot
Speaker 3: and I hit a bunch of shit off this shelf.
Speaker 1: There's a we clean that shelf off about two years ago,
Speaker 1: and I threw so many board games into the trash outside,
Speaker 1: but it's refilled.
Speaker 3: It is.
Speaker 1: It's really as yeah, next one and here we go.
Speaker 1: It is from Santana Maho. They say, Hey, Gang, random topic.
Speaker 1: I just noticed I never have a phone in my dreams,
Speaker 1: nor any electronics, and I have dreams almost every night.
Speaker 1: I'm in my thirties. Of that makes a difference. Do
Speaker 1: any of you ever have any phones in your dreams? Yes?
Speaker 1: I have a dream moderately frequently every month or so
Speaker 1: where I have to call a phone number and I
Speaker 1: keep screwing up the number. Then I get to start
Speaker 1: over again, then I still screw it up, and it's
Speaker 1: on my cell phone. So yeah, I do have technology
Speaker 1: in my dreams sometimes, Bailey.
Speaker 2: I don't, but it just makes me think of like
Speaker 2: Netflix shows nowadays all have phones that they like show
Speaker 2: you the text messages popping up, and but then like
Speaker 2: a TV show that doesn't have phones in it at all,
Speaker 2: it never occurs to me that they don't have a phone.
Speaker 2: I never think about it because it was just like
Speaker 2: an extension of your self at this point.
Speaker 1: Okay. They also go on to say, I wanted to
Speaker 1: agree with Allison in the last episode, the drunk slow
Speaker 1: most bit we're entertaining. I've attached slowed down audio from
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Goodbye from August fifth. I thought it was
Speaker 1: funny when you were all talking about painful stories. Take
Speaker 1: care and happy holidays from Audrey. I love your name, Audrey.
Speaker 1: Let's see if I can get this to function correctly
Speaker 1: here and it might take a minute for me to
Speaker 1: pull up proper audio channels. So let's see if this works. Okay,
Speaker 1: you ready, here we go.
Speaker 2: Oh yes, I have gotten an IUDN and that hurts
Speaker 2: like a bit? What a bit? No?
Speaker 1: No, no, you gu sorry? And I U D A
Speaker 1: I U D yeah ivy okay.
Speaker 2: Now I D And it hurts like a bit? What
Speaker 2: it hurts like?
Speaker 1: So slowing down audio makes you sound drunk, and it
Speaker 1: makes it sound funny. You write that down for next week,
Speaker 1: Jenny wish that's kind of funny. I think it's Santana,
Speaker 1: or actually your name is Audrey, but I wanna let
Speaker 1: you know, Santana. Somebody is hacked into your email and
Speaker 1: is using it and her name is Audrey. Oh gosh,
Speaker 1: all right, delete on that one. And let's see. Here's
Speaker 1: one trying to think of a Christmas gift for my daughter,
Speaker 1: and this is addressed to weather girl Jenny in the
Speaker 1: morning zoo okay, uh, my daughter and her boyfriend who
Speaker 1: love the outdoors, hiking and exploring new breweries. I get
Speaker 1: these Instagram ads from Rio. Do you know anything about them?
Speaker 1: They are scratch off Adventures and they both have Minnesota
Speaker 1: and Twin Cities decks of scratch offs. Now I've seen this,
Speaker 1: it does pop into my Instagram. It'll say something like
Speaker 1: I've lived in Minnesota my whole life and I never
Speaker 1: knew about this, And it'll show like the Apostle Islands
Speaker 1: and you scratch them off and you go on this
Speaker 1: you know, Minnesota adventure or you go to the headwaters
Speaker 1: of the Mississippi or whatever it is. And I've seen
Speaker 1: this deck of cards. I don't I haven't bought them
Speaker 1: because Susan is not an adventurer and I'm certainly not
Speaker 1: going to go by myself. So do you know anything
Speaker 1: about these? Jenny?
Speaker 3: I actually have never heard of those before. I feel
Speaker 3: like those kind of things, if it's specific to like
Speaker 3: having to travel somewhere, you have to plan more for that,
Speaker 3: Whereas like I've seen, like the date Night books, where
Speaker 3: you scratch something off and you do something in that
Speaker 3: moment that's a little bit easier to do. I feel
Speaker 3: like travel would be kind of harder, But I can't.
Speaker 3: I've never done it, so I can't speak for it.
Speaker 3: It could be a super cool gift.
Speaker 1: It looks kind of cool. It's if you go to
Speaker 1: reach Internationaloutfitters dot com. I think that's where you can
Speaker 1: find it there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's called the Minnesota Adventure bucket List. Okay, it
Speaker 2: seems I mean, it seems cool, but it's sixty five dollars,
Speaker 2: So just keep that in mind. Where I feel like
Speaker 2: I could just google places to go in Minnesota for free.
Speaker 1: Right. My second option is to buy them a Minnesota
Speaker 1: park pass, but I honestly don't know what that means, Jenny,
Speaker 1: do you know if it's parking or camping or what.
Speaker 3: Yes, it's just access into the pass or into the park,
Speaker 3: So you have to pay a fee to go into
Speaker 3: any state park. So that'll give you access for a
Speaker 3: year round. I think that that's a great gift. Now,
Speaker 3: actually got all of us on the Morning Show that
Speaker 3: one year. Yeah, and I'm sure, I'm pretty sure me
Speaker 3: and you are probably the only ones who used it,
Speaker 3: because I think she got it for Drake too. But
Speaker 3: I loved it because then we don't have to pay
Speaker 3: the feed to get in every year and it's I
Speaker 3: think that's a good one for people who go hike
Speaker 3: and do things outdoors.
Speaker 2: You could get them that and then get them I
Speaker 2: don't know, some kind of hiking gear or some kind
Speaker 2: of thing, so it's not just like here's a piece
Speaker 2: of paper, but like here's a piece of paper, but
Speaker 2: also here is a nice little jacket to wear hiking
Speaker 2: or something like that.
Speaker 3: They do do the National Park passes as well, which
Speaker 3: is it's not that expensive for the fact that you
Speaker 3: get into national park for a year. I think it's
Speaker 3: like eighty five bucks. It's called America the Beautiful Pass. Okay,
Speaker 3: So that gets you into any National park anytime for
Speaker 3: a year straight as well. If you want to do
Speaker 3: something more than just state parks.
Speaker 1: And I ask you a question that's kind of on topic,
Speaker 1: but little off. You're a big hiker, Yeah, do you
Speaker 1: use hiking poles?
Speaker 3: I brought them when we went out to Seattle this
Speaker 3: summer and did a bunch of hikes like in the
Speaker 3: I don't know whatever mountain range. I think cascades, and honestly,
Speaker 3: they were more inconvenient than helpful. The only time that
Speaker 3: it was ever helpful was when we did a hike
Speaker 3: that was pretty steep, and on the way down my
Speaker 3: knee was hurting, so I used one pole to kind
Speaker 3: of help me on the way down. But I don't know,
Speaker 3: I find them not very beneficial.
Speaker 1: I'm the same way. I took them. We hiked one
Speaker 1: hundred miles with the boy Scouts in twenty seventeen through
Speaker 1: the mountains of New Mexico, and I took them and
Speaker 1: I never used them once. I kept them strapped to
Speaker 1: the back of my backpack because I thought I might
Speaker 1: need them, but I never needed them. But I see
Speaker 1: people out it's kind of funny. I will see people
Speaker 1: out walking on a flat sidewalk with hiking poles, and
Speaker 1: it's like, I don't think you need them at all.
Speaker 1: And I do see people hiking in Colorado with them,
Speaker 1: But I think for the most part, you really kind
Speaker 1: of don't need them.
Speaker 3: I think it really depends on the terrain, the steepness
Speaker 3: your knees, because like I think, if you.
Speaker 1: Have been healthy, you probably don't need them yet.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I mean I'm healthy and I have a
Speaker 3: bad knee, So like, I agree that for the most part,
Speaker 3: I don't use them. But I think that there are
Speaker 3: certain hikes that I probably would find them beneficial, like
Speaker 3: if it was some snow or ice or something like that.
Speaker 1: Okay, I hiked Downpike's Peak about I don't know, seven
Speaker 1: or eight years ago, ten years ago, and I use
Speaker 1: them going down because what you're doing when you're going
Speaker 1: down is thump, thump, thump on your feet and your knees,
Speaker 1: and it would take some of the pressure off. And
Speaker 1: they definitely did help. Good luck with that, oh, she says.
Speaker 1: My third option is to buy them a pub pass
Speaker 1: for twenty five bucks and they get a free beer
Speaker 1: at twenty five local breweries and bars in the Twin
Speaker 1: Cities until next year. That sounds kind of cool. For
Speaker 1: twenty five bucks you get a free beer before.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've gotten that. And to be honest, I would
Speaker 2: do the State Park one over the Beer one because
Speaker 2: the Beer one, it's they're all so spread out there
Speaker 2: and they don't cover like every brewery that is, you know,
Speaker 2: in the state. So you'll be like, oh, here's one
Speaker 2: brewery in Waconia, and then here's another in Woodberry, and
Speaker 2: then like one in Minneapolis and then another one in
Speaker 2: Coon Rapids, and you just don't end up going to them.
Speaker 2: So my dad gets them for himself and then never
Speaker 2: uses them. So then he hands them to me in
Speaker 2: the last few months of every year, and then I
Speaker 2: have two months to try and use it as much
Speaker 2: as possible. You just don't end up going to all
Speaker 2: of them.
Speaker 1: Do you ever, guy, Do you ever get like the
Speaker 1: girls hockey team from the local high school or the
Speaker 1: boys soccer team. They come by and they they sell
Speaker 1: you a sheet of coupons that are like, you know,
Speaker 1: two dollars off at Von Hansen Meats, or four cents
Speaker 1: off a gallon at Holiday or save twenty five dollars
Speaker 1: at you know, Furniture World or whatever, and you go, wow,
Speaker 1: that looks pretty cool. I always buy them because I
Speaker 1: all my kid went and my kids sold shit door
Speaker 1: to door for scouts and volleyball and whatever, so I
Speaker 1: always try to give back. Those are the only solicitors
Speaker 1: that I will welcome at my house. I have the
Speaker 1: sign out front that says something like, don't knock, don't
Speaker 1: make it weird, no soliciting. But I will buy stuff
Speaker 1: from kids, but you never use them. That's my point
Speaker 1: is you save these and then a year later you
Speaker 1: find them in your junk drawer. Oh and they're expired.
Speaker 2: Yeah, even like a pizza coupon. I forget I have
Speaker 2: a pizza coupon. I'll buy pizza up the wazoo and
Speaker 2: then I'll be like, oh oops, so I just eh,
Speaker 2: but the state park pass, I think that's valid. I
Speaker 2: like that one.
Speaker 1: Okay, cool. Now I'm not going to read the whole thing,
Speaker 1: but I will give you a little background on this
Speaker 1: email and tell you why I'm not going to read
Speaker 1: the whole thing. Our friend Patty who listens to the
Speaker 1: show and always helps out with highway cleanup, and she's
Speaker 1: in the Ukulele Club and she's wonderful. Her and her
Speaker 1: husband Scott have been listening forever now. We saw her
Speaker 1: at Ukulele Club the other night and she said, I
Speaker 1: wrote you, guys an email about a horrible wedding speech,
Speaker 1: and you don't have to read it because it's really long.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna read the whole thing because you weren't kidding.
Speaker 1: It's really long, but I'm gonna read part of it.
Speaker 1: So here we go.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 1: One of my favorite things to listen to is Worst Date. Wednesday,
Speaker 1: I was at a wedding and it made me wish
Speaker 1: you had a bit called Worst Wedding Wednesday because this
Speaker 1: event was worthy of a similar recap happened in another state,
Speaker 1: so nobody will hear it. Here we go. The groom
Speaker 1: was the son of good friends of mine. Bride works
Speaker 1: for a company that manages social media influencers, so she
Speaker 1: clearly wanted an instagram worthy event of her own. The
Speaker 1: tone was set early when I found out that the groom,
Speaker 1: a sweet and humble guy, had only one request that
Speaker 1: his two sisters be included in the wedding party. The
Speaker 1: bride said no, and they were not included.
Speaker 3: WHOA, yikes, that's not nice.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, okay. The day before the wedding, my friend,
Speaker 1: the mom of the groom asked the mother of the
Speaker 1: bride what time should we be there and if there
Speaker 1: were specific instructions for us to line up for the ceremony.
Speaker 1: The mother of the bride said, you got the invitation right,
Speaker 1: it's all in there, So she basically treated the mother
Speaker 1: of the groom like another wedding guest with no further
Speaker 1: information provided. Ooh, I got pissed already. Yeah, okay. The
Speaker 1: dress code was formal, and the invitation specified that all
Speaker 1: wedding guests were to wear black, no exceptions, presumably so
Speaker 1: the bride would stand out in her white dress. The
Speaker 1: result was an event that looked more like a funeral
Speaker 1: than a wedding. They asked the guests to wear black people,
Speaker 1: no exceptions.
Speaker 3: Black and white weddings. Yeah, but it's I'm pretty sure
Speaker 3: it's like you have to wear black then, because you
Speaker 3: can't wear white woods.
Speaker 1: Okay. The wedding venue was at an all inclusive events center,
Speaker 1: with a chapel building and a separate reception hall next door.
Speaker 1: The floors in the chapel were polished gray cement, the
Speaker 1: walls were white, and the ceilings were super high, so
Speaker 1: the effect was a big, open room with an echo.
Speaker 1: There were only about one hundred and fifty guests, so
Speaker 1: we didn't fill even half the room. A few flower
Speaker 1: bouquets were placed on the cement floor in the center
Speaker 1: aisle at the end of some rows, and a large
Speaker 1: floral wreath hung at the front of the chapel, but
Speaker 1: that was it. No other decorations. The flowers were all white.
Speaker 1: There was no color, warmth, or charm, just a very huge, wide, open,
Speaker 1: bare room. Okay, we're not done yet.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: The couple sent a group text to all wedding guests
Speaker 1: at noon the day of the wedding to remind us
Speaker 1: wedding starts at four pm sharp. It said you must
Speaker 1: arrive by three point fifty pm because the doors are
Speaker 1: closing at that time, so please plan accordingly. We made
Speaker 1: sure we were on time. At three fifty, came and went.
Speaker 1: The doors were open because a lot of guests came
Speaker 1: through the doors that were supposed to be already closed.
Speaker 1: The ceremony didn't start until four to ten pm. The
Speaker 1: sound system for the wedding was a couple of speakers
Speaker 1: on a large in the back of that gigantic room.
Speaker 1: The bride chose to walk down the aisle to the
Speaker 1: traditional wedding march, but the first twenty seconds of pre
Speaker 1: recorded piano music were muffled coming from those janky speakers.
Speaker 1: Somebody adjusted the sound and it got better, but by
Speaker 1: then the bride was already halfway down the aisle. All
Speaker 1: I could think of was, why didn't they do a
Speaker 1: sound check for this bride who was so specific about
Speaker 1: so many things leading up to this event. This seemed
Speaker 1: like a pretty big deal to miss. Now we're not
Speaker 1: done yet, and I'm actually enjoying this more than I
Speaker 1: thought it was. When it was tiging for the bride's
Speaker 1: brother to be doing a Bible reading, he had to
Speaker 1: get up from a seat in the front section of chairs,
Speaker 1: walk wall the way over to the far right side
Speaker 1: of the room, get a microphone stand carried to where
Speaker 1: the pastor was standing all the way on the other side.
Speaker 1: He placed the mic literally five feet in front of
Speaker 1: the chair he was sitting at. Why it wasn't there
Speaker 1: before the ceremony. Then when he finally started talking, he
Speaker 1: was so far away from the microphone that he might
Speaker 1: as well have not been using it at all. Luckily,
Speaker 1: this sound echoed so much in that cavernous room that
Speaker 1: we could hear him just fine without the mic. But again,
Speaker 1: why was there no audio crew or sound check to
Speaker 1: avoid this type of situation. That's one of my pet
Speaker 1: peeves is people who won't talk into the microphone. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I see it all the time. You got to get
Speaker 1: your fucking mouth right up on the fucking microphone for
Speaker 1: it to be fucking heard that.
Speaker 2: Or they're like, oh, I don't need a microphone. I
Speaker 2: have a loud voice, and you're like, not loud enough.
Speaker 1: Well, writer, People who go I hate microphones. I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: we'd like to hear what you're saying exactly. So you
Speaker 1: get people who are like, okay, so everybody, thanks for coming,
Speaker 1: and it's like, no, put your fucking mouth on the
Speaker 1: fucking microphone.
Speaker 3: You need to be nice because some people don't like
Speaker 3: to be on a microphone.
Speaker 1: Shit, you get your job. I don't give a fuck.
Speaker 1: That's your job. That's your job. You're a speaker, get
Speaker 1: your fucking mouth up.
Speaker 3: You like a speech at a wedding, and a lot
Speaker 3: of people are a maid of honor or the best man,
Speaker 3: and they fucking hate giving speeches. Andrew was one at
Speaker 3: his brother's wedding and he was so nervous and he
Speaker 3: did fine, but he didn't speak right on the microphone
Speaker 3: because it's not his forte no.
Speaker 1: And I get that, And I'm kind of being a
Speaker 1: dick on purpose to be funny. And I thought I
Speaker 1: was kind of funny. Good bit, good bit, But I
Speaker 1: don't know. It's just one of those things where it's like, okay,
Speaker 1: talking to the microphone. We all want to hear you. Now,
Speaker 1: she goes on longer than we have, Because I'll be
Speaker 1: honest with you, I gotta leave in five minutes to
Speaker 1: go to the gym. Now, I'm not making that up.
Speaker 1: I really do. And she's got probably another fifteen minutes
Speaker 1: of content for this Wedday. So we might continue this
Speaker 1: on Monday because it really is very interesting and Patty,
Speaker 1: thank you. I can tell you had a good time
Speaker 1: writing this. And she does talk about speeches that went
Speaker 1: on way too long, way too long. So we'll come
Speaker 1: back on Monday and finish up this email from Patty.
Speaker 1: That is it for the Minnesota Goodbye. I'm heading over
Speaker 1: to Snap Fitness. Have a great day. By the way,
Speaker 1: no money up front at Snap from January first through
Speaker 1: the fourteenth. So you want to get in shape, this
Speaker 1: is your year to lose that weight. Get in shape
