1
00:00:00.440 --> 00:00:03.439
<v Speaker 1>Scams are so funny because some of them are really

2
00:00:03.720 --> 00:00:06.400
<v Speaker 1>obvious scams and some are like a little bit more clever.

3
00:00:06.799 --> 00:00:08.240
<v Speaker 1>And the reason I bring it up is because this

4
00:00:08.279 --> 00:00:10.519
<v Speaker 1>has been going around for a year, maybe close to

5
00:00:10.599 --> 00:00:13.720
<v Speaker 1>two years, And basically it's a Facebook scam that says

6
00:00:13.800 --> 00:00:18.559
<v Speaker 1>you have won one thousand dollars and people will click

7
00:00:18.600 --> 00:00:21.320
<v Speaker 1>on this and it says you will then need to

8
00:00:21.399 --> 00:00:24.320
<v Speaker 1>enter your credit card and you will then get a

9
00:00:24.399 --> 00:00:26.879
<v Speaker 1>thousand dollars and it's all from the Dave Ryan Show.

10
00:00:27.120 --> 00:00:28.879
<v Speaker 1>And we got another one of these. Somebody wrote this

11
00:00:28.920 --> 00:00:32.359
<v Speaker 1>morning and said, hey, is this a scam? And they

12
00:00:32.399 --> 00:00:34.719
<v Speaker 1>were smart enough to realize it was a scam, but

13
00:00:34.840 --> 00:00:39.159
<v Speaker 1>it just is so badly written. First of all, it

14
00:00:39.159 --> 00:00:41.640
<v Speaker 1>has a picture of the Dave Ryan Show and it's

15
00:00:41.799 --> 00:00:44.799
<v Speaker 1>the wrong it's me laughing into the microphone. It's not

16
00:00:44.920 --> 00:00:49.320
<v Speaker 1>the right one. And then it has a link that

17
00:00:49.520 --> 00:00:54.439
<v Speaker 1>says congratulations to the chosen winner. Dave Ryan Show give

18
00:00:54.479 --> 00:00:59.200
<v Speaker 1>away one thousand dollars, exclusive only for thirty people. After

19
00:00:59.240 --> 00:01:03.880
<v Speaker 1>a successful registration, please immediately send proof of registration a screenshot.

20
00:01:04.159 --> 00:01:07.079
<v Speaker 1>Do not miss this opportunity comma. If there is no

21
00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:10.159
<v Speaker 1>response in registration, we will cancel you as the winner,

22
00:01:10.599 --> 00:01:14.239
<v Speaker 1>which is written by somebody who almost knows how to

23
00:01:14.280 --> 00:01:18.000
<v Speaker 1>write perfect English. Yeah, but not quite, because you would

24
00:01:18.040 --> 00:01:20.760
<v Speaker 1>never say, I mean, we would never say, for example,

25
00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:25.400
<v Speaker 1>congratulations to the chosen winner. That's not what we would say.

26
00:01:25.640 --> 00:01:27.439
<v Speaker 2>Sounds kind of that's a robot.

27
00:01:27.319 --> 00:01:30.159
<v Speaker 1>Well robotic or maybe somebody who speaks I don't know, Russian,

28
00:01:30.280 --> 00:01:34.799
<v Speaker 1>sure or Polish that they're very close. Yeah, but we

29
00:01:34.840 --> 00:01:37.439
<v Speaker 1>would never say congratulations the chosen winner. And we would

30
00:01:37.480 --> 00:01:40.640
<v Speaker 1>never say, do not miss this opportunity, comma. If there

31
00:01:40.680 --> 00:01:43.840
<v Speaker 1>is no response, comma, we would say, do not miss

32
00:01:43.840 --> 00:01:45.920
<v Speaker 1>this opportunity exclamation point.

33
00:01:46.040 --> 00:01:49.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so that we don't have thirty thousand dollars to

34
00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:49.959
<v Speaker 2>hand out to.

35
00:01:49.879 --> 00:01:52.959
<v Speaker 1>Me, No, we do not, and it just goes on

36
00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:56.799
<v Speaker 1>some more. Just like register now, you will be directed

37

38
00:02:00.719 --> 00:02:03.040
<v Speaker 1>Each winner must go through the verification stage and the

39
00:02:03.040 --> 00:02:05.120
<v Speaker 1>car details serve to make sure you are the person

40
00:02:05.159 --> 00:02:09.680
<v Speaker 1>we chose and are truly valid. So again, it's I'm

41
00:02:09.680 --> 00:02:13.879
<v Speaker 1>glad that people are onto these things. Yeah. Is it

42
00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:17.800
<v Speaker 1>true that sometimes you answer your phone, your cell phone,

43
00:02:18.360 --> 00:02:22.280
<v Speaker 1>and you go hello, and somebody goes is this Bailey

44
00:02:22.319 --> 00:02:26.719
<v Speaker 1>hass And you go yes, and then the rumor is

45
00:02:26.759 --> 00:02:29.639
<v Speaker 1>they record you saying yes yea, so they can use

46
00:02:29.680 --> 00:02:33.840
<v Speaker 1>your voice to get your credit card company to believe

47
00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:34.919
<v Speaker 1>it's you or something like that.

48
00:02:35.039 --> 00:02:37.599
<v Speaker 2>Just why I just never answer a phone number from

49
00:02:37.759 --> 00:02:40.960
<v Speaker 2>something I don't recognize. Yeah, never ever, if they need me,

50
00:02:41.000 --> 00:02:42.759
<v Speaker 2>they'll leave a message, right. Yeah.

51
00:02:42.800 --> 00:02:45.039
<v Speaker 3>There's also no way that the credit card company can

52
00:02:45.159 --> 00:02:48.479
<v Speaker 3>just like give approval for information based off of someone.

53
00:02:48.280 --> 00:02:49.639
<v Speaker 1>Saying yes though probably true.

54
00:02:49.680 --> 00:02:51.680
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, way too many other things you have to confirm

55
00:02:51.800 --> 00:02:54.719
<v Speaker 3>than just an automated yes yes. It's not like they're like,

56
00:02:54.840 --> 00:02:58.000
<v Speaker 3>all right, so your last four of your social is one, two, three,

57
00:02:58.080 --> 00:02:59.879
<v Speaker 3>four barely says yes yes.

58
00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:02.719
<v Speaker 1>Now that's not how it works, you know, right. That's

59
00:03:02.759 --> 00:03:05.319
<v Speaker 1>from Katie. Thank you, Katie. Oh would knock over James?

60
00:03:05.400 --> 00:03:06.840
<v Speaker 3>I don't know. I got my big standa boots on

61
00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:08.560
<v Speaker 3>today and all I did was like move my foot

62
00:03:08.560 --> 00:03:10.479
<v Speaker 3>and I hit a bunch of shit off this shelf.

63
00:03:10.759 --> 00:03:13.800
<v Speaker 1>There's a we clean that shelf off about two years ago,

64
00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:18.840
<v Speaker 1>and I threw so many board games into the trash outside,

65
00:03:19.240 --> 00:03:20.360
<v Speaker 1>but it's refilled.

66
00:03:20.919 --> 00:03:21.240
<v Speaker 3>It is.

67
00:03:21.560 --> 00:03:26.039
<v Speaker 1>It's really as yeah, next one and here we go.

68
00:03:26.319 --> 00:03:29.520
<v Speaker 1>It is from Santana Maho. They say, Hey, Gang, random topic.

69
00:03:30.039 --> 00:03:32.520
<v Speaker 1>I just noticed I never have a phone in my dreams,

70
00:03:32.560 --> 00:03:35.319
<v Speaker 1>nor any electronics, and I have dreams almost every night.

71
00:03:35.560 --> 00:03:37.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm in my thirties. Of that makes a difference. Do

72
00:03:37.439 --> 00:03:40.960
<v Speaker 1>any of you ever have any phones in your dreams? Yes?

73
00:03:41.479 --> 00:03:45.960
<v Speaker 1>I have a dream moderately frequently every month or so

74
00:03:46.319 --> 00:03:48.520
<v Speaker 1>where I have to call a phone number and I

75
00:03:48.599 --> 00:03:50.879
<v Speaker 1>keep screwing up the number. Then I get to start

76
00:03:50.919 --> 00:03:53.560
<v Speaker 1>over again, then I still screw it up, and it's

77
00:03:53.599 --> 00:03:56.439
<v Speaker 1>on my cell phone. So yeah, I do have technology

78
00:03:56.439 --> 00:03:58.159
<v Speaker 1>in my dreams sometimes, Bailey.

79
00:03:57.919 --> 00:04:01.240
<v Speaker 2>I don't, but it just makes me think of like

80
00:04:01.360 --> 00:04:04.439
<v Speaker 2>Netflix shows nowadays all have phones that they like show

81
00:04:04.479 --> 00:04:07.560
<v Speaker 2>you the text messages popping up, and but then like

82
00:04:07.599 --> 00:04:09.639
<v Speaker 2>a TV show that doesn't have phones in it at all,

83
00:04:09.719 --> 00:04:11.639
<v Speaker 2>it never occurs to me that they don't have a phone.

84
00:04:11.800 --> 00:04:13.439
<v Speaker 2>I never think about it because it was just like

85
00:04:13.479 --> 00:04:16.199
<v Speaker 2>an extension of your self at this point.

86
00:04:17.079 --> 00:04:19.839
<v Speaker 1>Okay. They also go on to say, I wanted to

87
00:04:19.920 --> 00:04:23.240
<v Speaker 1>agree with Allison in the last episode, the drunk slow

88
00:04:23.279 --> 00:04:26.839
<v Speaker 1>most bit we're entertaining. I've attached slowed down audio from

89
00:04:26.839 --> 00:04:29.000
<v Speaker 1>the Minnesota Goodbye from August fifth. I thought it was

90
00:04:29.000 --> 00:04:31.839
<v Speaker 1>funny when you were all talking about painful stories. Take

91
00:04:31.879 --> 00:04:35.480
<v Speaker 1>care and happy holidays from Audrey. I love your name, Audrey.

92
00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:38.319
<v Speaker 1>Let's see if I can get this to function correctly

93
00:04:38.439 --> 00:04:42.160
<v Speaker 1>here and it might take a minute for me to

94
00:04:42.199 --> 00:04:47.279
<v Speaker 1>pull up proper audio channels. So let's see if this works. Okay,

95
00:04:47.399 --> 00:04:48.279
<v Speaker 1>you ready, here we go.

96
00:04:48.360 --> 00:04:52.720
<v Speaker 2>Oh yes, I have gotten an IUDN and that hurts

97
00:04:52.920 --> 00:04:57.879
<v Speaker 2>like a bit? What a bit? No?

98
00:04:57.879 --> 00:05:02.000
<v Speaker 1>No, no, you gu sorry? And I U D A

99
00:05:02.360 --> 00:05:05.920
<v Speaker 1>I U D yeah ivy okay.

100
00:05:05.720 --> 00:05:11.839
<v Speaker 2>Now I D And it hurts like a bit? What

101
00:05:11.959 --> 00:05:12.519
<v Speaker 2>it hurts like?

102
00:05:14.040 --> 00:05:16.839
<v Speaker 1>So slowing down audio makes you sound drunk, and it

103
00:05:16.879 --> 00:05:18.639
<v Speaker 1>makes it sound funny. You write that down for next week,

104
00:05:18.720 --> 00:05:22.279
<v Speaker 1>Jenny wish that's kind of funny. I think it's Santana,

105
00:05:22.399 --> 00:05:24.560
<v Speaker 1>or actually your name is Audrey, but I wanna let

106
00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:27.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, Santana. Somebody is hacked into your email and

107
00:05:27.240 --> 00:05:29.600
<v Speaker 1>is using it and her name is Audrey. Oh gosh,

108
00:05:29.920 --> 00:05:34.160
<v Speaker 1>all right, delete on that one. And let's see. Here's

109
00:05:34.240 --> 00:05:37.959
<v Speaker 1>one trying to think of a Christmas gift for my daughter,

110
00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:39.800
<v Speaker 1>and this is addressed to weather girl Jenny in the

111
00:05:39.800 --> 00:05:43.319
<v Speaker 1>morning zoo okay, uh, my daughter and her boyfriend who

112
00:05:43.360 --> 00:05:46.439
<v Speaker 1>love the outdoors, hiking and exploring new breweries. I get

113
00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:49.600
<v Speaker 1>these Instagram ads from Rio. Do you know anything about them?

114
00:05:49.600 --> 00:05:52.480
<v Speaker 1>They are scratch off Adventures and they both have Minnesota

115
00:05:52.480 --> 00:05:55.439
<v Speaker 1>and Twin Cities decks of scratch offs. Now I've seen this,

116
00:05:55.519 --> 00:05:57.759
<v Speaker 1>it does pop into my Instagram. It'll say something like

117
00:05:58.079 --> 00:06:00.279
<v Speaker 1>I've lived in Minnesota my whole life and I never

118
00:06:00.360 --> 00:06:03.519
<v Speaker 1>knew about this, And it'll show like the Apostle Islands

119
00:06:03.759 --> 00:06:06.360
<v Speaker 1>and you scratch them off and you go on this

120
00:06:06.480 --> 00:06:09.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, Minnesota adventure or you go to the headwaters

121
00:06:09.279 --> 00:06:12.439
<v Speaker 1>of the Mississippi or whatever it is. And I've seen

122
00:06:12.480 --> 00:06:17.680
<v Speaker 1>this deck of cards. I don't I haven't bought them

123
00:06:17.720 --> 00:06:21.040
<v Speaker 1>because Susan is not an adventurer and I'm certainly not

124
00:06:21.079 --> 00:06:22.959
<v Speaker 1>going to go by myself. So do you know anything

125
00:06:23.000 --> 00:06:23.720
<v Speaker 1>about these? Jenny?

126
00:06:23.800 --> 00:06:26.560
<v Speaker 3>I actually have never heard of those before. I feel

127
00:06:26.560 --> 00:06:29.120
<v Speaker 3>like those kind of things, if it's specific to like

128
00:06:29.199 --> 00:06:32.079
<v Speaker 3>having to travel somewhere, you have to plan more for that,

129
00:06:32.120 --> 00:06:34.519
<v Speaker 3>Whereas like I've seen, like the date Night books, where

130
00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:36.519
<v Speaker 3>you scratch something off and you do something in that

131
00:06:36.600 --> 00:06:39.360
<v Speaker 3>moment that's a little bit easier to do. I feel

132
00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:41.639
<v Speaker 3>like travel would be kind of harder, But I can't.

133
00:06:41.680 --> 00:06:43.560
<v Speaker 3>I've never done it, so I can't speak for it.

134
00:06:43.560 --> 00:06:45.319
<v Speaker 3>It could be a super cool gift.

135
00:06:45.560 --> 00:06:47.360
<v Speaker 1>It looks kind of cool. It's if you go to

136
00:06:47.600 --> 00:06:52.240
<v Speaker 1>reach Internationaloutfitters dot com. I think that's where you can

137
00:06:52.279 --> 00:06:53.399
<v Speaker 1>find it there.

138
00:06:53.480 --> 00:06:56.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's called the Minnesota Adventure bucket List. Okay, it

139
00:06:56.639 --> 00:06:59.279
<v Speaker 2>seems I mean, it seems cool, but it's sixty five dollars,

140
00:06:59.319 --> 00:07:01.480
<v Speaker 2>So just keep that in mind. Where I feel like

141
00:07:01.519 --> 00:07:04.600
<v Speaker 2>I could just google places to go in Minnesota for free.

142
00:07:05.079 --> 00:07:08.120
<v Speaker 1>Right. My second option is to buy them a Minnesota

143
00:07:08.319 --> 00:07:10.759
<v Speaker 1>park pass, but I honestly don't know what that means, Jenny,

144
00:07:10.759 --> 00:07:12.319
<v Speaker 1>do you know if it's parking or camping or what.

145
00:07:12.839 --> 00:07:17.920
<v Speaker 3>Yes, it's just access into the pass or into the park,

146
00:07:18.040 --> 00:07:20.120
<v Speaker 3>So you have to pay a fee to go into

147
00:07:20.160 --> 00:07:22.519
<v Speaker 3>any state park. So that'll give you access for a

148
00:07:22.600 --> 00:07:25.879
<v Speaker 3>year round. I think that that's a great gift. Now,

149
00:07:26.079 --> 00:07:27.680
<v Speaker 3>actually got all of us on the Morning Show that

150
00:07:27.720 --> 00:07:29.879
<v Speaker 3>one year. Yeah, and I'm sure, I'm pretty sure me

151
00:07:29.920 --> 00:07:31.279
<v Speaker 3>and you are probably the only ones who used it,

152
00:07:31.279 --> 00:07:33.399
<v Speaker 3>because I think she got it for Drake too. But

153
00:07:33.519 --> 00:07:35.639
<v Speaker 3>I loved it because then we don't have to pay

154
00:07:35.639 --> 00:07:38.120
<v Speaker 3>the feed to get in every year and it's I

155
00:07:38.120 --> 00:07:40.279
<v Speaker 3>think that's a good one for people who go hike

156
00:07:40.360 --> 00:07:41.319
<v Speaker 3>and do things outdoors.

157
00:07:41.399 --> 00:07:42.879
<v Speaker 2>You could get them that and then get them I

158
00:07:42.920 --> 00:07:45.560
<v Speaker 2>don't know, some kind of hiking gear or some kind

159
00:07:45.560 --> 00:07:47.639
<v Speaker 2>of thing, so it's not just like here's a piece

160
00:07:47.639 --> 00:07:49.959
<v Speaker 2>of paper, but like here's a piece of paper, but

161
00:07:50.240 --> 00:07:53.279
<v Speaker 2>also here is a nice little jacket to wear hiking

162
00:07:53.399 --> 00:07:54.120
<v Speaker 2>or something like that.

163
00:07:54.319 --> 00:07:56.720
<v Speaker 3>They do do the National Park passes as well, which

164
00:07:56.759 --> 00:07:59.040
<v Speaker 3>is it's not that expensive for the fact that you

165
00:07:59.120 --> 00:08:00.839
<v Speaker 3>get into national park for a year. I think it's

166
00:08:00.879 --> 00:08:03.600
<v Speaker 3>like eighty five bucks. It's called America the Beautiful Pass. Okay,

167
00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:06.279
<v Speaker 3>So that gets you into any National park anytime for

168
00:08:06.319 --> 00:08:08.040
<v Speaker 3>a year straight as well. If you want to do

169
00:08:08.120 --> 00:08:09.639
<v Speaker 3>something more than just state parks.

170
00:08:09.879 --> 00:08:11.800
<v Speaker 1>And I ask you a question that's kind of on topic,

171
00:08:11.800 --> 00:08:13.920
<v Speaker 1>but little off. You're a big hiker, Yeah, do you

172
00:08:14.040 --> 00:08:15.079
<v Speaker 1>use hiking poles?

173
00:08:15.959 --> 00:08:17.680
<v Speaker 3>I brought them when we went out to Seattle this

174
00:08:17.720 --> 00:08:20.120
<v Speaker 3>summer and did a bunch of hikes like in the

175
00:08:20.439 --> 00:08:24.600
<v Speaker 3>I don't know whatever mountain range. I think cascades, and honestly,

176
00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:27.839
<v Speaker 3>they were more inconvenient than helpful. The only time that

177
00:08:27.959 --> 00:08:29.759
<v Speaker 3>it was ever helpful was when we did a hike

178
00:08:29.800 --> 00:08:31.639
<v Speaker 3>that was pretty steep, and on the way down my

179
00:08:31.720 --> 00:08:34.559
<v Speaker 3>knee was hurting, so I used one pole to kind

180
00:08:34.559 --> 00:08:37.960
<v Speaker 3>of help me on the way down. But I don't know,

181
00:08:38.080 --> 00:08:39.960
<v Speaker 3>I find them not very beneficial.

182
00:08:40.279 --> 00:08:42.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm the same way. I took them. We hiked one

183
00:08:42.240 --> 00:08:44.960
<v Speaker 1>hundred miles with the boy Scouts in twenty seventeen through

184
00:08:44.960 --> 00:08:47.559
<v Speaker 1>the mountains of New Mexico, and I took them and

185
00:08:47.600 --> 00:08:49.559
<v Speaker 1>I never used them once. I kept them strapped to

186
00:08:49.600 --> 00:08:51.799
<v Speaker 1>the back of my backpack because I thought I might

187
00:08:51.879 --> 00:08:53.759
<v Speaker 1>need them, but I never needed them. But I see

188
00:08:53.759 --> 00:08:55.759
<v Speaker 1>people out it's kind of funny. I will see people

189
00:08:56.200 --> 00:09:00.200
<v Speaker 1>out walking on a flat sidewalk with hiking poles, and

190
00:09:00.200 --> 00:09:03.320
<v Speaker 1>it's like, I don't think you need them at all.

191
00:09:03.840 --> 00:09:06.000
<v Speaker 1>And I do see people hiking in Colorado with them,

192
00:09:06.039 --> 00:09:08.799
<v Speaker 1>But I think for the most part, you really kind

193
00:09:08.799 --> 00:09:10.240
<v Speaker 1>of don't need them.

194
00:09:10.399 --> 00:09:13.320
<v Speaker 3>I think it really depends on the terrain, the steepness

195
00:09:13.480 --> 00:09:15.679
<v Speaker 3>your knees, because like I think, if you.

196
00:09:15.639 --> 00:09:17.480
<v Speaker 1>Have been healthy, you probably don't need them yet.

197
00:09:17.559 --> 00:09:19.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but I mean I'm healthy and I have a

198
00:09:19.120 --> 00:09:22.879
<v Speaker 3>bad knee, So like, I agree that for the most part,

199
00:09:22.919 --> 00:09:24.360
<v Speaker 3>I don't use them. But I think that there are

200
00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:27.279
<v Speaker 3>certain hikes that I probably would find them beneficial, like

201
00:09:27.360 --> 00:09:30.200
<v Speaker 3>if it was some snow or ice or something like that.

202
00:09:30.399 --> 00:09:33.080
<v Speaker 1>Okay, I hiked Downpike's Peak about I don't know, seven

203
00:09:33.159 --> 00:09:35.360
<v Speaker 1>or eight years ago, ten years ago, and I use

204
00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:38.159
<v Speaker 1>them going down because what you're doing when you're going

205
00:09:38.200 --> 00:09:40.919
<v Speaker 1>down is thump, thump, thump on your feet and your knees,

206
00:09:40.919 --> 00:09:42.200
<v Speaker 1>and it would take some of the pressure off. And

207
00:09:42.240 --> 00:09:45.639
<v Speaker 1>they definitely did help. Good luck with that, oh, she says.

208
00:09:45.679 --> 00:09:47.840
<v Speaker 1>My third option is to buy them a pub pass

209
00:09:47.879 --> 00:09:50.399
<v Speaker 1>for twenty five bucks and they get a free beer

210
00:09:50.559 --> 00:09:54.639
<v Speaker 1>at twenty five local breweries and bars in the Twin

211
00:09:54.720 --> 00:09:57.679
<v Speaker 1>Cities until next year. That sounds kind of cool. For

212
00:09:57.759 --> 00:10:00.639
<v Speaker 1>twenty five bucks you get a free beer before.

213
00:10:00.720 --> 00:10:03.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I've gotten that. And to be honest, I would

214
00:10:03.519 --> 00:10:06.240
<v Speaker 2>do the State Park one over the Beer one because

215
00:10:06.279 --> 00:10:09.480
<v Speaker 2>the Beer one, it's they're all so spread out there

216
00:10:09.519 --> 00:10:13.279
<v Speaker 2>and they don't cover like every brewery that is, you know,

217
00:10:13.399 --> 00:10:16.120
<v Speaker 2>in the state. So you'll be like, oh, here's one

218
00:10:16.240 --> 00:10:20.000
<v Speaker 2>brewery in Waconia, and then here's another in Woodberry, and

219
00:10:20.039 --> 00:10:23.080
<v Speaker 2>then like one in Minneapolis and then another one in

220
00:10:23.159 --> 00:10:26.480
<v Speaker 2>Coon Rapids, and you just don't end up going to them.

221
00:10:26.919 --> 00:10:29.960
<v Speaker 2>So my dad gets them for himself and then never

222
00:10:30.039 --> 00:10:31.759
<v Speaker 2>uses them. So then he hands them to me in

223
00:10:31.799 --> 00:10:34.080
<v Speaker 2>the last few months of every year, and then I

224
00:10:34.120 --> 00:10:36.519
<v Speaker 2>have two months to try and use it as much

225
00:10:36.559 --> 00:10:38.799
<v Speaker 2>as possible. You just don't end up going to all

226
00:10:38.840 --> 00:10:39.159
<v Speaker 2>of them.

227
00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:41.279
<v Speaker 1>Do you ever, guy, Do you ever get like the

228
00:10:41.320 --> 00:10:43.600
<v Speaker 1>girls hockey team from the local high school or the

229
00:10:43.600 --> 00:10:45.879
<v Speaker 1>boys soccer team. They come by and they they sell

230
00:10:45.919 --> 00:10:49.519
<v Speaker 1>you a sheet of coupons that are like, you know,

231
00:10:49.919 --> 00:10:52.519
<v Speaker 1>two dollars off at Von Hansen Meats, or four cents

232
00:10:52.519 --> 00:10:55.840
<v Speaker 1>off a gallon at Holiday or save twenty five dollars

233
00:10:55.879 --> 00:10:59.080
<v Speaker 1>at you know, Furniture World or whatever, and you go, wow,

234
00:10:59.120 --> 00:11:01.240
<v Speaker 1>that looks pretty cool. I always buy them because I

235
00:11:01.279 --> 00:11:03.960
<v Speaker 1>all my kid went and my kids sold shit door

236
00:11:04.000 --> 00:11:07.440
<v Speaker 1>to door for scouts and volleyball and whatever, so I

237
00:11:07.440 --> 00:11:10.000
<v Speaker 1>always try to give back. Those are the only solicitors

238
00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:12.120
<v Speaker 1>that I will welcome at my house. I have the

239
00:11:12.159 --> 00:11:15.519
<v Speaker 1>sign out front that says something like, don't knock, don't

240
00:11:15.559 --> 00:11:20.720
<v Speaker 1>make it weird, no soliciting. But I will buy stuff

241
00:11:20.720 --> 00:11:22.559
<v Speaker 1>from kids, but you never use them. That's my point

242
00:11:22.679 --> 00:11:25.039
<v Speaker 1>is you save these and then a year later you

243
00:11:25.120 --> 00:11:27.559
<v Speaker 1>find them in your junk drawer. Oh and they're expired.

244
00:11:27.679 --> 00:11:30.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, even like a pizza coupon. I forget I have

245
00:11:30.399 --> 00:11:32.759
<v Speaker 2>a pizza coupon. I'll buy pizza up the wazoo and

246
00:11:32.759 --> 00:11:36.200
<v Speaker 2>then I'll be like, oh oops, so I just eh,

247
00:11:36.519 --> 00:11:38.600
<v Speaker 2>but the state park pass, I think that's valid. I

248
00:11:38.679 --> 00:11:39.080
<v Speaker 2>like that one.

249
00:11:39.120 --> 00:11:41.759
<v Speaker 1>Okay, cool. Now I'm not going to read the whole thing,

250
00:11:41.759 --> 00:11:43.200
<v Speaker 1>but I will give you a little background on this

251
00:11:43.240 --> 00:11:44.639
<v Speaker 1>email and tell you why I'm not going to read

252
00:11:44.679 --> 00:11:47.399
<v Speaker 1>the whole thing. Our friend Patty who listens to the

253
00:11:47.440 --> 00:11:50.080
<v Speaker 1>show and always helps out with highway cleanup, and she's

254
00:11:50.120 --> 00:11:53.120
<v Speaker 1>in the Ukulele Club and she's wonderful. Her and her

255
00:11:53.159 --> 00:11:55.799
<v Speaker 1>husband Scott have been listening forever now. We saw her

256
00:11:55.799 --> 00:11:58.000
<v Speaker 1>at Ukulele Club the other night and she said, I

257
00:11:58.080 --> 00:12:01.600
<v Speaker 1>wrote you, guys an email about a horrible wedding speech,

258
00:12:01.960 --> 00:12:04.919
<v Speaker 1>and you don't have to read it because it's really long.

259
00:12:05.360 --> 00:12:08.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm not gonna read the whole thing because you weren't kidding.

260
00:12:08.360 --> 00:12:11.600
<v Speaker 1>It's really long, but I'm gonna read part of it.

261
00:12:11.799 --> 00:12:12.440
<v Speaker 1>So here we go.

262
00:12:13.840 --> 00:12:14.360
<v Speaker 3>Uh.

263
00:12:14.399 --> 00:12:16.960
<v Speaker 1>One of my favorite things to listen to is Worst Date. Wednesday,

264
00:12:17.480 --> 00:12:19.080
<v Speaker 1>I was at a wedding and it made me wish

265
00:12:19.120 --> 00:12:22.279
<v Speaker 1>you had a bit called Worst Wedding Wednesday because this

266
00:12:22.360 --> 00:12:25.879
<v Speaker 1>event was worthy of a similar recap happened in another state,

267
00:12:26.039 --> 00:12:29.039
<v Speaker 1>so nobody will hear it. Here we go. The groom

268
00:12:29.200 --> 00:12:31.960
<v Speaker 1>was the son of good friends of mine. Bride works

269
00:12:31.960 --> 00:12:34.919
<v Speaker 1>for a company that manages social media influencers, so she

270
00:12:35.120 --> 00:12:39.519
<v Speaker 1>clearly wanted an instagram worthy event of her own. The

271
00:12:39.600 --> 00:12:41.960
<v Speaker 1>tone was set early when I found out that the groom,

272
00:12:41.960 --> 00:12:44.720
<v Speaker 1>a sweet and humble guy, had only one request that

273
00:12:44.840 --> 00:12:47.320
<v Speaker 1>his two sisters be included in the wedding party. The

274
00:12:47.399 --> 00:12:50.799
<v Speaker 1>bride said no, and they were not included.

275
00:12:50.919 --> 00:12:53.720
<v Speaker 3>WHOA, yikes, that's not nice.

276
00:12:53.960 --> 00:12:58.600
<v Speaker 1>Oh wow, okay. The day before the wedding, my friend,

277
00:12:58.639 --> 00:13:01.000
<v Speaker 1>the mom of the groom asked the mother of the

278
00:13:01.039 --> 00:13:03.519
<v Speaker 1>bride what time should we be there and if there

279
00:13:03.559 --> 00:13:06.159
<v Speaker 1>were specific instructions for us to line up for the ceremony.

280
00:13:06.399 --> 00:13:09.879
<v Speaker 1>The mother of the bride said, you got the invitation right,

281
00:13:09.960 --> 00:13:13.840
<v Speaker 1>it's all in there, So she basically treated the mother

282
00:13:13.919 --> 00:13:16.279
<v Speaker 1>of the groom like another wedding guest with no further

283
00:13:16.399 --> 00:13:22.039
<v Speaker 1>information provided. Ooh, I got pissed already. Yeah, okay. The

284
00:13:22.159 --> 00:13:25.600
<v Speaker 1>dress code was formal, and the invitation specified that all

285
00:13:25.639 --> 00:13:29.919
<v Speaker 1>wedding guests were to wear black, no exceptions, presumably so

286
00:13:30.039 --> 00:13:32.360
<v Speaker 1>the bride would stand out in her white dress. The

287
00:13:32.440 --> 00:13:35.600
<v Speaker 1>result was an event that looked more like a funeral

288
00:13:35.639 --> 00:13:39.720
<v Speaker 1>than a wedding. They asked the guests to wear black people,

289
00:13:39.840 --> 00:13:41.519
<v Speaker 1>no exceptions.

290
00:13:40.919 --> 00:13:43.679
<v Speaker 3>Black and white weddings. Yeah, but it's I'm pretty sure

291
00:13:43.679 --> 00:13:45.919
<v Speaker 3>it's like you have to wear black then, because you

292
00:13:45.960 --> 00:13:47.039
<v Speaker 3>can't wear white woods.

293
00:13:47.519 --> 00:13:51.440
<v Speaker 1>Okay. The wedding venue was at an all inclusive events center,

294
00:13:51.480 --> 00:13:54.120
<v Speaker 1>with a chapel building and a separate reception hall next door.

295
00:13:54.559 --> 00:13:57.279
<v Speaker 1>The floors in the chapel were polished gray cement, the

296
00:13:57.320 --> 00:13:59.840
<v Speaker 1>walls were white, and the ceilings were super high, so

297
00:14:00.159 --> 00:14:02.960
<v Speaker 1>the effect was a big, open room with an echo.

298
00:14:03.519 --> 00:14:05.200
<v Speaker 1>There were only about one hundred and fifty guests, so

299
00:14:05.240 --> 00:14:08.600
<v Speaker 1>we didn't fill even half the room. A few flower

300
00:14:08.639 --> 00:14:10.639
<v Speaker 1>bouquets were placed on the cement floor in the center

301
00:14:10.720 --> 00:14:13.159
<v Speaker 1>aisle at the end of some rows, and a large

302
00:14:13.200 --> 00:14:15.519
<v Speaker 1>floral wreath hung at the front of the chapel, but

303
00:14:15.600 --> 00:14:18.919
<v Speaker 1>that was it. No other decorations. The flowers were all white.

304
00:14:19.120 --> 00:14:23.840
<v Speaker 1>There was no color, warmth, or charm, just a very huge, wide, open,

305
00:14:24.000 --> 00:14:27.200
<v Speaker 1>bare room. Okay, we're not done yet.

306
00:14:27.320 --> 00:14:28.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

307
00:14:28.720 --> 00:14:31.559
<v Speaker 1>The couple sent a group text to all wedding guests

308
00:14:31.559 --> 00:14:33.759
<v Speaker 1>at noon the day of the wedding to remind us

309
00:14:34.440 --> 00:14:38.240
<v Speaker 1>wedding starts at four pm sharp. It said you must

310
00:14:38.320 --> 00:14:41.559
<v Speaker 1>arrive by three point fifty pm because the doors are

311
00:14:41.639 --> 00:14:46.159
<v Speaker 1>closing at that time, so please plan accordingly. We made

312
00:14:46.159 --> 00:14:48.120
<v Speaker 1>sure we were on time. At three fifty, came and went.

313
00:14:48.200 --> 00:14:50.240
<v Speaker 1>The doors were open because a lot of guests came

314
00:14:50.279 --> 00:14:52.200
<v Speaker 1>through the doors that were supposed to be already closed.

315
00:14:52.519 --> 00:14:56.559
<v Speaker 1>The ceremony didn't start until four to ten pm. The

316
00:14:56.759 --> 00:14:59.320
<v Speaker 1>sound system for the wedding was a couple of speakers

317
00:14:59.360 --> 00:15:01.919
<v Speaker 1>on a large in the back of that gigantic room.

318
00:15:02.480 --> 00:15:04.200
<v Speaker 1>The bride chose to walk down the aisle to the

319
00:15:04.240 --> 00:15:07.759
<v Speaker 1>traditional wedding march, but the first twenty seconds of pre

320
00:15:07.759 --> 00:15:11.240
<v Speaker 1>recorded piano music were muffled coming from those janky speakers.

321
00:15:11.879 --> 00:15:14.080
<v Speaker 1>Somebody adjusted the sound and it got better, but by

322
00:15:14.080 --> 00:15:17.159
<v Speaker 1>then the bride was already halfway down the aisle. All

323
00:15:17.159 --> 00:15:18.759
<v Speaker 1>I could think of was, why didn't they do a

324
00:15:18.759 --> 00:15:22.320
<v Speaker 1>sound check for this bride who was so specific about

325
00:15:22.320 --> 00:15:24.240
<v Speaker 1>so many things leading up to this event. This seemed

326
00:15:24.240 --> 00:15:25.840
<v Speaker 1>like a pretty big deal to miss. Now we're not

327
00:15:25.879 --> 00:15:28.000
<v Speaker 1>done yet, and I'm actually enjoying this more than I

328
00:15:28.039 --> 00:15:32.360
<v Speaker 1>thought it was. When it was tiging for the bride's

329
00:15:32.519 --> 00:15:35.639
<v Speaker 1>brother to be doing a Bible reading, he had to

330
00:15:35.639 --> 00:15:37.720
<v Speaker 1>get up from a seat in the front section of chairs,

331
00:15:37.759 --> 00:15:39.840
<v Speaker 1>walk wall the way over to the far right side

332
00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:42.399
<v Speaker 1>of the room, get a microphone stand carried to where

333
00:15:42.399 --> 00:15:44.320
<v Speaker 1>the pastor was standing all the way on the other side.

334
00:15:44.360 --> 00:15:46.320
<v Speaker 1>He placed the mic literally five feet in front of

335
00:15:46.360 --> 00:15:49.639
<v Speaker 1>the chair he was sitting at. Why it wasn't there

336
00:15:49.679 --> 00:15:54.120
<v Speaker 1>before the ceremony. Then when he finally started talking, he

337
00:15:54.240 --> 00:15:57.159
<v Speaker 1>was so far away from the microphone that he might

338
00:15:57.200 --> 00:15:59.840
<v Speaker 1>as well have not been using it at all. Luckily,

339
00:15:59.840 --> 00:16:02.440
<v Speaker 1>this sound echoed so much in that cavernous room that

340
00:16:02.480 --> 00:16:04.759
<v Speaker 1>we could hear him just fine without the mic. But again,

341
00:16:04.879 --> 00:16:08.200
<v Speaker 1>why was there no audio crew or sound check to

342
00:16:08.279 --> 00:16:10.919
<v Speaker 1>avoid this type of situation. That's one of my pet

343
00:16:10.960 --> 00:16:13.320
<v Speaker 1>peeves is people who won't talk into the microphone. Yeah,

344
00:16:13.360 --> 00:16:15.399
<v Speaker 1>I see it all the time. You got to get

345
00:16:15.440 --> 00:16:18.440
<v Speaker 1>your fucking mouth right up on the fucking microphone for

346
00:16:18.519 --> 00:16:20.000
<v Speaker 1>it to be fucking heard that.

347
00:16:20.200 --> 00:16:22.120
<v Speaker 2>Or they're like, oh, I don't need a microphone. I

348
00:16:22.159 --> 00:16:24.080
<v Speaker 2>have a loud voice, and you're like, not loud enough.

349
00:16:24.120 --> 00:16:27.159
<v Speaker 1>Well, writer, People who go I hate microphones. I'm sorry,

350
00:16:27.200 --> 00:16:29.679
<v Speaker 1>we'd like to hear what you're saying exactly. So you

351
00:16:29.679 --> 00:16:33.759
<v Speaker 1>get people who are like, okay, so everybody, thanks for coming,

352
00:16:34.159 --> 00:16:37.000
<v Speaker 1>and it's like, no, put your fucking mouth on the

353
00:16:37.120 --> 00:16:38.399
<v Speaker 1>fucking microphone.

354
00:16:38.519 --> 00:16:40.320
<v Speaker 3>You need to be nice because some people don't like

355
00:16:40.399 --> 00:16:41.399
<v Speaker 3>to be on a microphone.

356
00:16:41.600 --> 00:16:43.679
<v Speaker 1>Shit, you get your job. I don't give a fuck.

357
00:16:44.039 --> 00:16:47.000
<v Speaker 1>That's your job. That's your job. You're a speaker, get

358
00:16:47.039 --> 00:16:48.120
<v Speaker 1>your fucking mouth up.

359
00:16:48.679 --> 00:16:51.240
<v Speaker 3>You like a speech at a wedding, and a lot

360
00:16:51.240 --> 00:16:54.159
<v Speaker 3>of people are a maid of honor or the best man,

361
00:16:54.200 --> 00:16:57.600
<v Speaker 3>and they fucking hate giving speeches. Andrew was one at

362
00:16:57.639 --> 00:17:00.120
<v Speaker 3>his brother's wedding and he was so nervous and he

363
00:17:00.159 --> 00:17:03.039
<v Speaker 3>did fine, but he didn't speak right on the microphone

364
00:17:03.039 --> 00:17:04.680
<v Speaker 3>because it's not his forte no.

365
00:17:04.839 --> 00:17:06.240
<v Speaker 1>And I get that, And I'm kind of being a

366
00:17:06.319 --> 00:17:08.720
<v Speaker 1>dick on purpose to be funny. And I thought I

367
00:17:08.799 --> 00:17:11.599
<v Speaker 1>was kind of funny. Good bit, good bit, But I

368
00:17:11.599 --> 00:17:13.720
<v Speaker 1>don't know. It's just one of those things where it's like, okay,

369
00:17:13.839 --> 00:17:16.319
<v Speaker 1>talking to the microphone. We all want to hear you. Now,

370
00:17:16.319 --> 00:17:18.039
<v Speaker 1>she goes on longer than we have, Because I'll be

371
00:17:18.079 --> 00:17:19.680
<v Speaker 1>honest with you, I gotta leave in five minutes to

372
00:17:19.680 --> 00:17:21.720
