WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.480 --> 00:00:05.599
<v Speaker 1>And here we are at the Friday Minnesota Goodbye with me,

2
00:00:05.799 --> 00:00:10.800
<v Speaker 1>Dave and Jenny and Bailey. Let's get started with the

3
00:00:10.839 --> 00:00:14.240
<v Speaker 1>emails and thanks for sending the emails. Here is one

4
00:00:14.279 --> 00:00:19.399
<v Speaker 1>from Jessica. She says, we recently hired a girl born

5
00:00:19.399 --> 00:00:21.839
<v Speaker 1>and raised in Canada. During the interview, I said, well,

6
00:00:21.879 --> 00:00:23.920
<v Speaker 1>I just got back from maternity leave, and she said, well,

7
00:00:23.920 --> 00:00:25.600
<v Speaker 1>how old my baby was? I said, well, he's a

8
00:00:25.600 --> 00:00:28.719
<v Speaker 1>little over twelve weeks old. Her jaw dropped in disbelief.

9
00:00:29.399 --> 00:00:31.399
<v Speaker 1>She could not believe that I was already back to

10
00:00:31.440 --> 00:00:34.600
<v Speaker 1>work full force after having a baby only twelve weeks prior,

11
00:00:35.039 --> 00:00:37.759
<v Speaker 1>and on top of it a c section berth. I

12
00:00:37.799 --> 00:00:40.960
<v Speaker 1>think three months is kind of the standard in America.

13
00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:43.200
<v Speaker 1>It got me thinking, how brainwashed. I'm not sure if

14
00:00:43.240 --> 00:00:45.240
<v Speaker 1>that's the right word for it. Our society is when

15
00:00:45.240 --> 00:00:47.640
<v Speaker 1>it comes to women having babies and going back to

16
00:00:47.679 --> 00:00:50.240
<v Speaker 1>work in such a short period of time. In Canada,

17
00:00:50.359 --> 00:00:52.880
<v Speaker 1>new moms are allowed up to a year or more

18
00:00:53.240 --> 00:00:56.679
<v Speaker 1>of maternity leave, while here in the United States we

19
00:00:56.759 --> 00:01:01.920
<v Speaker 1>only get twelve weeks and more than likely unpaid paid leave. Okay,

20
00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:03.560
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know. Is it unpaid when you go on

21
00:01:03.600 --> 00:01:04.359
<v Speaker 1>maternity leave?

22
00:01:04.879 --> 00:01:06.799
<v Speaker 2>Well, it depends on the company. I know that.

23
00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:10.200
<v Speaker 3>I think iHeart maybe has changed. But Fallon had to

24
00:01:10.280 --> 00:01:13.040
<v Speaker 3>use her sick days when she went on my materially

25
00:01:13.120 --> 00:01:15.799
<v Speaker 3>to get paid, and then after that when she used

26
00:01:15.799 --> 00:01:17.640
<v Speaker 3>all those up, she didn't get paid after that.

27
00:01:17.879 --> 00:01:20.920
<v Speaker 4>So yeah, some people use like long term disability when

28
00:01:20.959 --> 00:01:21.719
<v Speaker 4>they're pregnant too.

29
00:01:22.599 --> 00:01:24.719
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. I don't know how it works, but I wonder

30
00:01:25.400 --> 00:01:27.879
<v Speaker 1>if it has something to do with like the government.

31
00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:30.519
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if the government helps kick in, because

32
00:01:30.599 --> 00:01:34.480
<v Speaker 1>if you go on maternity leave for a year then

33
00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:39.599
<v Speaker 1>and if they keep paying you, then that money's got

34
00:01:39.599 --> 00:01:42.879
<v Speaker 1>to come from somewhere. Maybe they tax different in Canada.

35
00:01:42.959 --> 00:01:45.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I don't know. Somebody explained to me

36
00:01:45.159 --> 00:01:48.280
<v Speaker 1>how it works. I really truly don't know if maternity

37
00:01:48.359 --> 00:01:51.280
<v Speaker 1>leave is paid or unpaid or partially paid. And maybe

38
00:01:51.280 --> 00:01:53.159
<v Speaker 1>it does depend on the company. Yeah, I don't know.

39
00:01:53.319 --> 00:01:55.519
<v Speaker 2>In America it definitely does. Yeah.

40
00:01:55.560 --> 00:01:58.959
<v Speaker 1>I know that Chase got paternity leave, and that was

41
00:01:58.959 --> 00:02:01.319
<v Speaker 1>something that I never got. He got like five weeks

42
00:02:01.319 --> 00:02:05.120
<v Speaker 1>of paternity five maybe eight, I don't know, crap, and

43
00:02:05.159 --> 00:02:06.719
<v Speaker 1>that was not a thing when my kids were born.

44
00:02:06.840 --> 00:02:08.680
<v Speaker 4>I wonder if he had to negotiate for that or

45
00:02:08.719 --> 00:02:09.719
<v Speaker 4>if that was just a given.

46
00:02:10.039 --> 00:02:12.560
<v Speaker 1>I truly don't know. Let us know. Send us your

47
00:02:12.599 --> 00:02:15.680
<v Speaker 1>experience with maternity leave. Thinking about this all also made

48
00:02:15.719 --> 00:02:18.360
<v Speaker 1>me realize that returning to work is no easy or

49
00:02:18.400 --> 00:02:21.520
<v Speaker 1>slow is no easy or slow moving process. I felt

50
00:02:21.520 --> 00:02:24.599
<v Speaker 1>my work pairs peers kind of overlooked the huge life

51
00:02:24.599 --> 00:02:27.240
<v Speaker 1>experience change that I had endured and kind of brushed

52
00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:29.520
<v Speaker 1>it off, expecting me to pick up where I left off,

53
00:02:29.800 --> 00:02:32.240
<v Speaker 1>same workload and expectations as before. I mean, I just

54
00:02:32.280 --> 00:02:34.919
<v Speaker 1>had to drop my baby off with daycare to take

55
00:02:34.960 --> 00:02:37.639
<v Speaker 1>care of them while also being postpartument struggling to heal

56
00:02:37.719 --> 00:02:41.039
<v Speaker 1>both physically and mentally. I feel like our society has

57
00:02:41.080 --> 00:02:44.599
<v Speaker 1>such huge expectations for moms with no real understanding of

58
00:02:44.639 --> 00:02:46.759
<v Speaker 1>just how much we are going through after birthing a human.

59
00:02:47.240 --> 00:02:48.840
<v Speaker 1>My son will be one year old at the end

60
00:02:48.879 --> 00:02:50.759
<v Speaker 1>of the month, and just looking back on that time

61
00:02:50.800 --> 00:02:53.360
<v Speaker 1>of my life is really eye opening. I really feel

62
00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:55.919
<v Speaker 1>like America needs to reevaluate how we see birth for

63
00:02:56.000 --> 00:02:58.719
<v Speaker 1>new moms, dads, and families, as well as maternity leave

64
00:02:59.039 --> 00:03:01.039
<v Speaker 1>and most of all, return to work. Not sure what

65
00:03:01.120 --> 00:03:03.560
<v Speaker 1>I want to get out of this email, but it's

66
00:03:03.800 --> 00:03:07.319
<v Speaker 1>kind of been on my mind and I want to

67
00:03:07.319 --> 00:03:09.039
<v Speaker 1>talk about it. Thanks so much for your time, Love

68
00:03:09.080 --> 00:03:11.800
<v Speaker 1>you guys. From Jessica. I wish we had a mom

69
00:03:11.840 --> 00:03:14.599
<v Speaker 1>on the show to talk about this, but we don't.

70
00:03:14.680 --> 00:03:17.039
<v Speaker 2>So don't have the experience, so I'm sorry.

71
00:03:17.199 --> 00:03:19.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, if you know anything about it, let me know.

72
00:03:19.439 --> 00:03:21.919
<v Speaker 1>All right, here comes I'm going to set up the

73
00:03:21.960 --> 00:03:24.080
<v Speaker 1>equipment here so we can hear this. This is our

74
00:03:24.479 --> 00:03:29.000
<v Speaker 1>random rant from you Guessed It, jan Needa. Let me

75
00:03:29.080 --> 00:03:31.039
<v Speaker 1>set everything up so we'll get to push that button,

76
00:03:31.080 --> 00:03:35.039
<v Speaker 1>this button, this button, turn that knob up, and fire

77
00:03:35.199 --> 00:03:40.080
<v Speaker 1>this up and kickstart this over here. We are now ready.

78
00:03:40.159 --> 00:03:41.719
<v Speaker 1>Here comes Wannita's rant.

79
00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:44.479
<v Speaker 5>So my daughter just recently passed our driver's test, so

80
00:03:44.479 --> 00:03:47.319
<v Speaker 5>now she has her license. So instead of buying a

81
00:03:47.319 --> 00:03:51.360
<v Speaker 5>fifth vehicle, we decided to give her my car, which

82
00:03:51.400 --> 00:03:55.159
<v Speaker 5>is a BMW five thirty five I forty two thousand

83
00:03:55.159 --> 00:03:58.840
<v Speaker 5>miles paid off, not a scratch on it, perfect vehicle.

84
00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:03.080
<v Speaker 5>We told her she can have that car so she

85
00:04:03.080 --> 00:04:05.479
<v Speaker 5>can get go to school and to work. She looked

86
00:04:05.479 --> 00:04:08.759
<v Speaker 5>at us and she says, I don't want that. So

87
00:04:08.840 --> 00:04:11.039
<v Speaker 5>my husband instantly put his hand over my mouth because

88
00:04:11.039 --> 00:04:13.639
<v Speaker 5>he knew I was gonna say something, because what I

89
00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:17.399
<v Speaker 5>started to say was bitch, are you crazy? But instead

90
00:04:17.439 --> 00:04:20.240
<v Speaker 5>I said, what the fuck is wrong with you? Who

91
00:04:20.279 --> 00:04:23.399
<v Speaker 5>turns down a free BMW? I swear to God, these

92
00:04:23.480 --> 00:04:26.399
<v Speaker 5>kids have lost their brain cells by walking around in

93
00:04:26.399 --> 00:04:27.959
<v Speaker 5>the summer time when it was one hundred and seventeen

94
00:04:27.959 --> 00:04:31.439
<v Speaker 5>degrees outside with their hoods on, shan has baked their

95
00:04:31.480 --> 00:04:35.759
<v Speaker 5>brain cells. Who turns down a BMW? So my husband

96
00:04:35.800 --> 00:04:38.399
<v Speaker 5>asked her what does she want? She said she wants

97
00:04:38.439 --> 00:04:41.680
<v Speaker 5>a rubicon. So, after we sat down and tatted it

98
00:04:41.720 --> 00:04:43.839
<v Speaker 5>up how much it was gonna cost her to own

99
00:04:43.879 --> 00:04:47.319
<v Speaker 5>her own rubicon and pay her own insurance, she says

100
00:04:47.439 --> 00:04:52.199
<v Speaker 5>under her breath, I'll just take the BMW. Fucking teenagers

101
00:04:52.199 --> 00:04:54.839
<v Speaker 5>pissed me off? What the hell is wrong with them?

102
00:04:55.040 --> 00:04:57.720
<v Speaker 5>Well that's my rant for the week, and I wanted

103
00:04:57.759 --> 00:05:00.639
<v Speaker 5>to ask the question, do you remember remember what your

104
00:05:00.680 --> 00:05:03.079
<v Speaker 5>first car was? Because I know mine was a ragged

105
00:05:03.160 --> 00:05:07.079
<v Speaker 5>ass old mobile Cutlass Sierra. The damn sure wasn't a BMW.

106
00:05:07.639 --> 00:05:10.439
<v Speaker 5>Well thanks for your listening to my rants, Love you guys. Bye.

107
00:05:11.120 --> 00:05:15.279
<v Speaker 1>Uh think about Anita. That is funny that a BMW.

108
00:05:16.199 --> 00:05:18.160
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how old it is, but if it's

109
00:05:18.160 --> 00:05:20.439
<v Speaker 1>only got forty two thousand miles on it. That's not

110
00:05:20.879 --> 00:05:23.600
<v Speaker 1>a whole lot. That's not an old old car.

111
00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:27.360
<v Speaker 4>No BMW two, that's a fancy car.

112
00:05:27.839 --> 00:05:28.000
<v Speaker 1>Man.

113
00:05:28.040 --> 00:05:30.319
<v Speaker 3>I I didn't get a car until I was twenty

114
00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:33.120
<v Speaker 3>one years old. I would have taken any fucking beater

115
00:05:33.360 --> 00:05:35.879
<v Speaker 3>of a sort that anything my parents would have given

116
00:05:35.879 --> 00:05:37.560
<v Speaker 3>to me. I didn't have a car for so long.

117
00:05:37.720 --> 00:05:39.519
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I didn't have a car until I was in college.

118
00:05:39.560 --> 00:05:42.519
<v Speaker 4>And it was my grandma's old car, like she couldn't

119
00:05:42.600 --> 00:05:45.240
<v Speaker 4>drive it anymore because she was like a billion years old. Yeah,

120
00:05:45.319 --> 00:05:47.160
<v Speaker 4>and so I got her car. It was a nineteen

121
00:05:47.279 --> 00:05:49.519
<v Speaker 4>ninety four Toyota Corolla.

122
00:05:50.639 --> 00:05:57.600
<v Speaker 1>Into the ground nice. My first car was. It was

123
00:05:57.600 --> 00:06:01.600
<v Speaker 1>a Volkswagen Bug. It was was not a new one

124
00:06:01.639 --> 00:06:03.720
<v Speaker 1>when my mom bought it. That was her car for

125
00:06:03.759 --> 00:06:06.480
<v Speaker 1>a few years. Then she handed it off to my brother,

126
00:06:07.160 --> 00:06:10.360
<v Speaker 1>and then he gooped it all up by trying to

127
00:06:10.360 --> 00:06:14.120
<v Speaker 1>modify it himself. He put exhaust on it, he put

128
00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:19.959
<v Speaker 1>a hurst shifter, it doesn't matter, it's a shifter that

129
00:06:20.120 --> 00:06:23.839
<v Speaker 1>looked cool. And then he put a stereo in it

130
00:06:23.920 --> 00:06:25.959
<v Speaker 1>and that caught on fire a couple of times.

131
00:06:26.079 --> 00:06:27.040
<v Speaker 2>Oh my gosh.

132
00:06:27.079 --> 00:06:29.879
<v Speaker 1>Well he wired it himself. And so it was an

133
00:06:29.879 --> 00:06:33.160
<v Speaker 1>old Volkswagen Bug and it would break down quite frequently

134
00:06:33.199 --> 00:06:36.040
<v Speaker 1>and burn oil like crazy. So that was my first car.

135
00:06:36.800 --> 00:06:38.240
<v Speaker 1>It was a pale yellow.

136
00:06:38.399 --> 00:06:40.759
<v Speaker 3>Okay, I'm just like thinking of all the bugs I saw,

137
00:06:40.800 --> 00:06:43.439
<v Speaker 3>because you know, I don't see many Volkswing and bugs

138
00:06:43.439 --> 00:06:45.879
<v Speaker 3>out there anymore. But like I used to when I

139
00:06:45.959 --> 00:06:47.720
<v Speaker 3>was in high school and there was maybe one kid

140
00:06:47.720 --> 00:06:49.000
<v Speaker 3>who had one, and we were like, oh, they have

141
00:06:49.079 --> 00:06:49.920
<v Speaker 3>the coolest car.

142
00:06:50.160 --> 00:06:52.279
<v Speaker 4>I always wanted one so bad. I was like, this

143
00:06:52.360 --> 00:06:55.240
<v Speaker 4>is this is the top of the line car. A

144
00:06:55.360 --> 00:06:57.759
<v Speaker 4>Volkswagen Bug that's yellow and you put one of those

145
00:06:57.759 --> 00:07:00.959
<v Speaker 4>little flowers that soaks up the sun and then it

146
00:07:01.079 --> 00:07:02.120
<v Speaker 4>like shifts.

147
00:07:01.720 --> 00:07:05.480
<v Speaker 1>Back and forth. I want you to Google search nineteen

148
00:07:05.639 --> 00:07:09.920
<v Speaker 1>seventies traffic picture. Nearly every picture that you see in

149
00:07:09.959 --> 00:07:13.240
<v Speaker 1>the nineteen seventies will have several Volkswagen Bugs in it.

150
00:07:13.279 --> 00:07:16.199
<v Speaker 1>They were the most common car ever. I googled. Then

151
00:07:16.319 --> 00:07:18.959
<v Speaker 1>the first picture that popped up, there's a Volkswagen bus

152
00:07:19.040 --> 00:07:21.040
<v Speaker 1>right in the front. I'm going to count. That is

153
00:07:21.079 --> 00:07:23.399
<v Speaker 1>a traffic jam, and I'm going to count the Volkswagen Bugs.

154
00:07:23.439 --> 00:07:25.480
<v Speaker 1>I see four right away.

155
00:07:25.759 --> 00:07:27.319
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I see the way we're talking about too.

156
00:07:27.399 --> 00:07:31.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, there's I mean, Volkswagen Bugs were so common

157
00:07:31.240 --> 00:07:32.079
<v Speaker 1>in the seventies.

158
00:07:32.480 --> 00:07:33.319
<v Speaker 2>They're so cute.

159
00:07:33.600 --> 00:07:36.160
<v Speaker 1>They really were a cute little car. They were affordable.

160
00:07:37.480 --> 00:07:39.319
<v Speaker 1>They could take the engine out and put a new

161
00:07:39.319 --> 00:07:43.560
<v Speaker 1>engine in in like fifteen minutes. And they were they

162
00:07:43.600 --> 00:07:46.160
<v Speaker 1>were you know, I mean, they were practical and cheap

163
00:07:46.240 --> 00:07:50.680
<v Speaker 1>and people loved them. And then they went away, probably

164
00:07:50.720 --> 00:07:53.040
<v Speaker 1>in the eighties. I think. Then they brought them back

165
00:07:53.040 --> 00:07:56.160
<v Speaker 1>in the nineties and they were very cute. But those

166
00:07:56.199 --> 00:07:59.920
<v Speaker 1>were an interesting little fun fact. Original Volkswagen Bugs were

167
00:08:00.040 --> 00:08:03.480
<v Speaker 1>rear engine car. When they remade them in the nineties

168
00:08:03.480 --> 00:08:04.680
<v Speaker 1>they were a front engine car.

169
00:08:05.040 --> 00:08:07.120
<v Speaker 3>Okay, I know you don't know what that matter. I

170
00:08:07.439 --> 00:08:09.600
<v Speaker 3>just don't know how that matters. Yeah, or another it's.

171
00:08:09.519 --> 00:08:10.120
<v Speaker 1>A fun fact.

172
00:08:10.279 --> 00:08:12.519
<v Speaker 2>Oh I see, ha ha ha ha.

173
00:08:13.079 --> 00:08:20.639
<v Speaker 1>Okay, next one. Let's see what I've got here. Okay,

174
00:08:20.639 --> 00:08:24.079
<v Speaker 1>here we go, Dave, Jenny vont Bailey. I my name

175
00:08:24.120 --> 00:08:27.160
<v Speaker 1>is Bree. I'm a long time listener and a huge

176
00:08:27.199 --> 00:08:31.279
<v Speaker 1>fan of your show. I keep meaning to write in

177
00:08:31.319 --> 00:08:33.600
<v Speaker 1>to ask Dave if he's seen the documentary on Max

178
00:08:33.639 --> 00:08:38.039
<v Speaker 1>called Six Schizophrenic Brothers. It follows the Galvin family from

179
00:08:38.120 --> 00:08:40.720
<v Speaker 1>Colorado Springs, who I first heard about from Dave. I

180
00:08:40.799 --> 00:08:43.120
<v Speaker 1>read the book Hidden Valley Road after Dave mentioned it

181
00:08:43.159 --> 00:08:45.600
<v Speaker 1>and the connection to his hometown in Colorado. It is

182
00:08:45.639 --> 00:08:48.080
<v Speaker 1>a fascinating watch. If you haven't seen it, you should

183
00:08:48.120 --> 00:08:49.679
<v Speaker 1>check it out. I hope to hear this on the

184
00:08:49.679 --> 00:08:51.639
<v Speaker 1>Minnesota Goodbye. It is the first thing I put on

185
00:08:51.679 --> 00:08:54.000
<v Speaker 1>in my car after work. Love you all, Dart lick

186
00:08:54.080 --> 00:08:58.440
<v Speaker 1>p One. Can I get a staff writer sticker? Please?

187
00:08:58.519 --> 00:09:01.120
<v Speaker 1>I will write me back. You forget to include your address,

188
00:09:01.559 --> 00:09:04.039
<v Speaker 1>which is funny because people ask for a staff writer

189
00:09:04.120 --> 00:09:07.279
<v Speaker 1>sticker and half of them forget their address because you

190
00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:09.000
<v Speaker 1>just don't think about it. But of course I'll send

191
00:09:09.039 --> 00:09:11.080
<v Speaker 1>you one. Yeah. I read the book. It's called The

192
00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:14.240
<v Speaker 1>Hidden Valley Road. I heard about it from Oprah and

193
00:09:14.960 --> 00:09:18.639
<v Speaker 1>it is. It's this family. They're an air Force family

194
00:09:18.840 --> 00:09:21.039
<v Speaker 1>and they are you know, they lived right near the

195
00:09:21.120 --> 00:09:24.440
<v Speaker 1>Air Force Academy and the dad was a very prestigious

196
00:09:25.159 --> 00:09:28.000
<v Speaker 1>Air Force instructor and the mom was, you know, your

197
00:09:28.039 --> 00:09:31.440
<v Speaker 1>typical nineteen seventies mom, sixties seventies mom that stayed home.

198
00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:35.000
<v Speaker 1>And I think they had I want to say, fourteen kids.

199
00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:41.879
<v Speaker 1>It is ridiculous, and the kids, more than half of

200
00:09:41.919 --> 00:09:47.200
<v Speaker 1>them developed schizophrenia and were violent and dangerous and awful

201
00:09:47.240 --> 00:09:50.639
<v Speaker 1>and horrible, and then half of them were pretty normal.

202
00:09:51.159 --> 00:09:52.960
<v Speaker 1>But the normal ones had to put up with everything

203
00:09:53.039 --> 00:09:57.320
<v Speaker 1>from sexual abuse to violence from the sick ones, and

204
00:09:57.360 --> 00:10:01.080
<v Speaker 1>the mom and dad they wanted to keep their standing

205
00:10:01.200 --> 00:10:04.000
<v Speaker 1>of being such the perfect Air Force family that they

206
00:10:04.080 --> 00:10:07.159
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't do anything about it. They would just basically try

207
00:10:07.200 --> 00:10:10.080
<v Speaker 1>to control these kids themselves. Even if your kids are

208
00:10:10.960 --> 00:10:14.399
<v Speaker 1>I guess you could say normal and healthy, Having fourteen

209
00:10:14.480 --> 00:10:16.559
<v Speaker 1>kids is of fuck. You can't even imagine.

210
00:10:16.639 --> 00:10:18.600
<v Speaker 4>No, I would not want that many kids.

211
00:10:18.879 --> 00:10:22.120
<v Speaker 1>It's called six schizophrenic brothers, and it really is good.

212
00:10:22.240 --> 00:10:26.000
<v Speaker 1>Thanks for bringing it up, bree Neil writes in he says,

213
00:10:26.440 --> 00:10:28.600
<v Speaker 1>a couple of weeks ago, you were talking about Skyline

214
00:10:28.759 --> 00:10:33.120
<v Speaker 1>Chili trying to break a Guinness record for uploading so

215
00:10:33.159 --> 00:10:35.559
<v Speaker 1>many photos to Instagram in an hour or something. I

216
00:10:35.600 --> 00:10:37.600
<v Speaker 1>think it was on you can't make this stuff up anyway.

217
00:10:37.879 --> 00:10:39.600
<v Speaker 1>It was a non news story, but it made me

218
00:10:39.679 --> 00:10:42.919
<v Speaker 1>remember that I was part of a world record. It

219
00:10:43.039 --> 00:10:44.879
<v Speaker 1>might sound lame, but hear me out. I was part

220
00:10:44.919 --> 00:10:47.639
<v Speaker 1>of one one hundred and forty five people carrying water

221
00:10:47.759 --> 00:10:52.039
<v Speaker 1>jugs on their head at the same time fourteen. You're

222
00:10:52.039 --> 00:10:55.240
<v Speaker 1>probably saying that's just dumb. Loll was for a good cause.

223
00:10:55.360 --> 00:10:57.919
<v Speaker 1>The school I taught at had a program where they

224
00:10:58.039 --> 00:11:00.639
<v Speaker 1>raise money to build clean water wells and seau Sudan.

225
00:11:00.759 --> 00:11:03.399
<v Speaker 1>Over the years, they were raised over fifty two thousand

226
00:11:03.440 --> 00:11:05.440
<v Speaker 1>dollars for this cause. Walking with a jug of water

227
00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:07.720
<v Speaker 1>on my head was simple, but the hard work was

228
00:11:07.759 --> 00:11:10.720
<v Speaker 1>done by a teacher who arranged all of it. So

229
00:11:10.799 --> 00:11:13.159
<v Speaker 1>my question is, do any of you have a world record?

230
00:11:13.159 --> 00:11:15.720
<v Speaker 1>Over the years you talk about walking upstairs with skyscrapers,

231
00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:18.480
<v Speaker 1>sitting in every seat in an arena, maybe you four

232
00:11:18.480 --> 00:11:20.480
<v Speaker 1>should break some sort of record. Love the show and

233
00:11:20.559 --> 00:11:25.000
<v Speaker 1>podcasts always dart Lick licked Dart Neil in Atlanta, Georgia.

234
00:11:26.159 --> 00:11:30.200
<v Speaker 1>I think that I knew a radio DJ many years

235
00:11:30.200 --> 00:11:32.399
<v Speaker 1>ago who stayed on the radio for like at the

236
00:11:32.440 --> 00:11:35.679
<v Speaker 1>record time was then ninety six hours, and I don't

237
00:11:35.679 --> 00:11:39.120
<v Speaker 1>think he slept the entire time, and just awful. You

238
00:11:39.120 --> 00:11:42.879
<v Speaker 1>can't imagine that is like four days of no sleep.

239
00:11:43.879 --> 00:11:47.480
<v Speaker 1>I really don't think I've sat in every seat at

240
00:11:47.519 --> 00:11:50.559
<v Speaker 1>several arenas. I sat in every seat at the Exil

241
00:11:50.679 --> 00:11:53.320
<v Speaker 1>Energy Center when it first opened. I sat in every

242
00:11:53.360 --> 00:11:59.039
<v Speaker 1>seat at an Arena in Phoenix One in Ohio, Ohio

243
00:11:59.120 --> 00:12:01.519
<v Speaker 1>Stadium where the Buckeye play. I sat in every single seat.

244
00:12:01.559 --> 00:12:03.879
<v Speaker 1>That took a week to do, but it's not a

245
00:12:03.879 --> 00:12:05.919
<v Speaker 1>world record. And then I sat in Thomas and Max

246
00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:08.320
<v Speaker 1>Center in Las Vegas. I sat in every single seat

247
00:12:08.919 --> 00:12:10.960
<v Speaker 1>and I would never do it again. I'm too old

248
00:12:10.960 --> 00:12:11.440
<v Speaker 1>to do it now.

249
00:12:11.559 --> 00:12:11.799
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

250
00:12:11.840 --> 00:12:14.360
<v Speaker 4>Well, because you're going up down, up down, up down, updown.

251
00:12:14.720 --> 00:12:16.919
<v Speaker 1>You're sitting standing, sitting standing.

252
00:12:17.000 --> 00:12:17.279
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

253
00:12:17.279 --> 00:12:18.799
<v Speaker 1>And a friend of mine is in radio and he

254
00:12:18.840 --> 00:12:21.519
<v Speaker 1>lives in Indianapolis, and he said, Dave, you know, I

255
00:12:21.559 --> 00:12:24.600
<v Speaker 1>know you've done that seating record thing. I want to

256
00:12:24.639 --> 00:12:28.120
<v Speaker 1>try it at the arena here in Indianapolis. And I said, okay,

257
00:12:28.159 --> 00:12:31.960
<v Speaker 1>before you do, before you commit to it on the radio,

258
00:12:32.120 --> 00:12:36.000
<v Speaker 1>go down to the arena and try it and gauge

259
00:12:36.080 --> 00:12:38.519
<v Speaker 1>whether you think you could do it or not. And

260
00:12:38.519 --> 00:12:41.000
<v Speaker 1>he's like, oh, okay. He goes down to the arena.

261
00:12:41.039 --> 00:12:42.720
<v Speaker 1>He calls me a few hours later and he's like,

262
00:12:42.759 --> 00:12:44.720
<v Speaker 1>oh my god, I'm so glad that you gave me

263
00:12:44.759 --> 00:12:47.440
<v Speaker 1>that advice, because there's no fucking way I would be

264
00:12:47.440 --> 00:12:47.919
<v Speaker 1>able to do it.

265
00:12:48.039 --> 00:12:48.679
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

266
00:12:48.720 --> 00:12:51.240
<v Speaker 1>Because he was a little bit older, thirty eight.

267
00:12:51.279 --> 00:12:54.240
<v Speaker 4>Right, but still thirty eight knees are different than twenty

268
00:12:54.320 --> 00:12:55.120
<v Speaker 4>two knees.

269
00:12:54.960 --> 00:12:57.639
<v Speaker 1>Right, exactly. Yeah, So I don't know, do you guys

270
00:12:57.799 --> 00:12:59.799
<v Speaker 1>ever been part of a world record or close to

271
00:12:59.840 --> 00:13:00.480
<v Speaker 1>a world record.

272
00:13:00.519 --> 00:13:02.279
<v Speaker 3>I'm trying to think we did something outside of my

273
00:13:02.320 --> 00:13:06.240
<v Speaker 3>elementary school and we all like hugged the school and

274
00:13:06.320 --> 00:13:08.120
<v Speaker 3>held hands. And I don't know if it was at

275
00:13:08.120 --> 00:13:11.600
<v Speaker 3>an attempt to break the biggest amount of people chained

276
00:13:11.600 --> 00:13:14.879
<v Speaker 3>to eat or not chain but like other holding hands.

277
00:13:15.080 --> 00:13:17.200
<v Speaker 3>But I don't know if it was an attempt at

278
00:13:17.200 --> 00:13:20.000
<v Speaker 3>a world record or if it was for something specific.

279
00:13:20.320 --> 00:13:22.480
<v Speaker 3>But that's the only thing I can think of was

280
00:13:22.559 --> 00:13:24.600
<v Speaker 3>the Dave when you guys did the flag after nine

281
00:13:24.639 --> 00:13:26.919
<v Speaker 3>to eleven. That wasn't any kind That was just to

282
00:13:27.000 --> 00:13:29.559
<v Speaker 3>support the Yeah, just support it. Yeah, we it was

283
00:13:29.600 --> 00:13:30.320
<v Speaker 3>something for.

284
00:13:30.559 --> 00:13:32.279
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it wasn't a world record. It was just like

285
00:13:32.360 --> 00:13:35.279
<v Speaker 1>we had right after nine to eleven. We it is

286
00:13:35.440 --> 00:13:38.000
<v Speaker 1>pretty genius. They printed up a bunch of red, white

287
00:13:38.039 --> 00:13:40.399
<v Speaker 1>and blue cards and figured out a way to have

288
00:13:40.519 --> 00:13:43.480
<v Speaker 1>people hold them on a football field at the National

289
00:13:43.480 --> 00:13:47.240
<v Speaker 1>Sports Center in Blaine and form a giant American flag

290
00:13:47.240 --> 00:13:49.159
<v Speaker 1>with all these red, white and blue cards. And it

291
00:13:49.240 --> 00:13:52.240
<v Speaker 1>really was very amazing to look at and I used

292
00:13:52.240 --> 00:13:55.240
<v Speaker 1>to have the picture in my office somewhere, but then

293
00:13:55.240 --> 00:13:57.440
<v Speaker 1>it got broken and I threw it away because whatever

294
00:13:57.519 --> 00:13:59.200
<v Speaker 1>I mean. You know, you can't save everything. But no,

295
00:13:59.320 --> 00:14:02.559
<v Speaker 1>not really a record. We did do at the Metrodome

296
00:14:03.080 --> 00:14:04.960
<v Speaker 1>what we thought was going to be the world's largest

297
00:14:05.039 --> 00:14:08.080
<v Speaker 1>musical chairs, and it didn't go off and we didn't

298
00:14:08.120 --> 00:14:10.039
<v Speaker 1>have enough people or something. I don't remember, but that

299
00:14:10.120 --> 00:14:10.960
<v Speaker 1>was the only one we tried.

300
00:14:11.000 --> 00:14:14.240
<v Speaker 2>Now that would have taken forever too.

301
00:14:13.559 --> 00:14:15.480
<v Speaker 1>It really would. And I think that we I think

302
00:14:15.480 --> 00:14:17.039
<v Speaker 1>we took out a bunch of chairs at a time

303
00:14:17.120 --> 00:14:19.200
<v Speaker 1>rather than eliminate one person. I think we took out

304
00:14:19.200 --> 00:14:21.879
<v Speaker 1>twenty at a time. I don't remember.

305
00:14:22.080 --> 00:14:24.320
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I've never been in a world record. I have

306
00:14:24.360 --> 00:14:27.200
<v Speaker 4>nothing to contribute to this. I've never done any world

307
00:14:27.200 --> 00:14:29.360
<v Speaker 4>record anything. My friends aren't that interesting.

308
00:14:29.440 --> 00:14:31.159
<v Speaker 1>Well, I think then people look up world records in

309
00:14:31.159 --> 00:14:32.720
<v Speaker 1>the Guinness Book and they go, well, let's find one

310
00:14:32.720 --> 00:14:36.559
<v Speaker 1>we can do. It's like, we'll dribble a basketball, okay, Well,

311
00:14:36.600 --> 00:14:39.000
<v Speaker 1>what's the world record six days?

312
00:14:39.360 --> 00:14:41.759
<v Speaker 4>I'm like, fronco, I'll pass. Like I don't need to

313
00:14:41.759 --> 00:14:42.679
<v Speaker 4>make a record out of.

314
00:14:42.600 --> 00:14:46.320
<v Speaker 1>Anything, all right. That is really, honestly kind of it.

315
00:14:46.399 --> 00:14:47.840
<v Speaker 1>Is there anything else you guys want to bring up

316
00:14:47.840 --> 00:14:48.799
<v Speaker 1>on the Minnesota Goodbye?

317
00:14:50.080 --> 00:14:51.440
<v Speaker 2>My mom's mad at me right now?

318
00:14:51.519 --> 00:14:52.440
<v Speaker 1>Why is your mom mad at you?

319
00:14:52.519 --> 00:14:52.639
<v Speaker 5>So?

320
00:14:52.720 --> 00:14:54.639
<v Speaker 3>Andrew and I are going back to Wisconsin this weekend

321
00:14:54.720 --> 00:14:57.120
<v Speaker 3>and we're bringing the camper van back because my family

322
00:14:57.159 --> 00:14:59.879
<v Speaker 3>hasn't seen it. And we also when we go back

323
00:14:59.879 --> 00:15:03.799
<v Speaker 3>to Wisconsin, we sleep in my mom's uncomfortable bed and

324
00:15:04.440 --> 00:15:06.960
<v Speaker 3>she sleeps in like this really shitty bed she has

325
00:15:07.000 --> 00:15:09.559
<v Speaker 3>in like the one open guest bedroom now, and so

326
00:15:10.000 --> 00:15:11.639
<v Speaker 3>we're like, well, we'll just sleep in the van because

327
00:15:11.679 --> 00:15:14.519
<v Speaker 3>we really like our bed in our van. It's very comfortable.

328
00:15:14.799 --> 00:15:16.639
<v Speaker 3>And I told her that last night on the phone

329
00:15:17.000 --> 00:15:20.240
<v Speaker 3>and she's like, Jenny, why would you do that? And

330
00:15:20.320 --> 00:15:23.039
<v Speaker 3>I'm not exaggerating, that's how she responds to things a

331
00:15:23.039 --> 00:15:23.720
<v Speaker 3>lot of times.

332
00:15:23.960 --> 00:15:26.320
<v Speaker 2>And she's like, that's just ridiculous, like you have a

333
00:15:26.320 --> 00:15:27.559
<v Speaker 2>bed and blah blah blah blah.

334
00:15:27.559 --> 00:15:28.919
<v Speaker 3>And I was like, yeah, but we like love our

335
00:15:28.919 --> 00:15:31.120
<v Speaker 3>bed and honestly, your bed is not very comfortable. And

336
00:15:31.159 --> 00:15:34.399
<v Speaker 3>we're literally just going to be like outside your house

337
00:15:34.679 --> 00:15:36.720
<v Speaker 3>versus like down the hall, like why is it that

338
00:15:36.759 --> 00:15:38.960
<v Speaker 3>big of a deal, And she just gets so up

339
00:15:39.000 --> 00:15:41.639
<v Speaker 3>in arms about things. And I know I'm not a parent,

340
00:15:41.840 --> 00:15:43.480
<v Speaker 3>and I know that I don't see my family very

341
00:15:43.519 --> 00:15:45.919
<v Speaker 3>often because honestly, I haven't been home for like eight months.

342
00:15:46.159 --> 00:15:48.080
<v Speaker 3>It's been a long time. So I get it that

343
00:15:48.120 --> 00:15:52.440
<v Speaker 3>she just wants to spend as much time. Yeah, but

344
00:15:52.480 --> 00:15:55.919
<v Speaker 3>my mom just like if things don't go exactly how

345
00:15:55.919 --> 00:15:58.679
<v Speaker 3>she wants someone we're home, she gets upset. And I

346
00:15:58.720 --> 00:16:01.320
<v Speaker 3>told her, like my younger sister, she lives with my

347
00:16:01.360 --> 00:16:03.639
<v Speaker 3>mom right now, and she's going down to Chicago on Saturday.

348
00:16:04.120 --> 00:16:05.679
<v Speaker 3>So I was like, well, I'll sleep in Katie's bed

349
00:16:05.720 --> 00:16:07.759
<v Speaker 3>probably Saturday night, but I'm telling you, Andrew's going to

350
00:16:07.799 --> 00:16:09.840
<v Speaker 3>sleep in that all weekend. Andrew sleeps in that van

351
00:16:09.879 --> 00:16:12.320
<v Speaker 3>when we bring it to like his grandpa's cabin. That's

352
00:16:12.360 --> 00:16:15.000
<v Speaker 3>beautiful up in loots and sometimes like he'll sleep in

353
00:16:15.039 --> 00:16:17.879
<v Speaker 3>the van, that's how much he loves it. So anyway,

354
00:16:17.960 --> 00:16:20.159
<v Speaker 3>she's upset with me, and I'm just like, I get it,

355
00:16:20.200 --> 00:16:22.840
<v Speaker 3>I'm not a parent, but also I'm still there, like

356
00:16:22.840 --> 00:16:23.440
<v Speaker 3>we're there.

357
00:16:23.240 --> 00:16:25.720
<v Speaker 1>Still there, I was in the van. As a parent,

358
00:16:25.759 --> 00:16:27.399
<v Speaker 1>I would be fine with that. I'd be happy that

359
00:16:27.399 --> 00:16:29.480
<v Speaker 1>you're coming. I'm just impressed that the bed in your

360
00:16:29.480 --> 00:16:32.519
<v Speaker 1>camper van is comfortable enough that you want to sleep

361
00:16:32.519 --> 00:16:32.840
<v Speaker 1>in there?

362
00:16:32.919 --> 00:16:33.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

363
00:16:33.159 --> 00:16:35.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, because most camper beds, I would imagine are not

364
00:16:35.679 --> 00:16:38.360
<v Speaker 1>that comfortable. I will tell you this one. Does Cindy

365
00:16:38.399 --> 00:16:40.279
<v Speaker 1>want you and Andrew to sleep in her bed?

366
00:16:40.840 --> 00:16:41.080
<v Speaker 4>Yeah?

367
00:16:41.159 --> 00:16:42.159
<v Speaker 1>So were her bed.

368
00:16:42.240 --> 00:16:43.080
<v Speaker 2>We would sleep in her.

369
00:16:43.279 --> 00:16:46.440
<v Speaker 1>Now that's weird because my relatives used to come and

370
00:16:46.519 --> 00:16:48.480
<v Speaker 1>my mom and dad would give them their bed to

371
00:16:48.519 --> 00:16:50.679
<v Speaker 1>sleep in, And even as a little kid, I thought,

372
00:16:50.759 --> 00:16:55.120
<v Speaker 1>that's freaking weird. I don't want to sleep in your bed.

373
00:16:55.200 --> 00:16:57.200
<v Speaker 1>I want to sleep in the guest room.

374
00:16:57.360 --> 00:16:59.159
<v Speaker 3>The way it works is it's only a full bed

375
00:16:59.159 --> 00:17:02.320
<v Speaker 3>in the guest room. The other room is what was

376
00:17:02.399 --> 00:17:04.559
<v Speaker 3>my old room. But now my younger sister moved in

377
00:17:04.640 --> 00:17:06.599
<v Speaker 3>with my mom after a breakup, and so that was

378
00:17:06.640 --> 00:17:08.200
<v Speaker 3>a queen bed and we used to sleep in that

379
00:17:08.200 --> 00:17:11.000
<v Speaker 3>one and then ever since then now she has that bed.

380
00:17:11.079 --> 00:17:13.559
<v Speaker 3>And so it was either a really uncomfortable full bed

381
00:17:13.599 --> 00:17:17.480
<v Speaker 3>that's small or my mom's like queen bed. And so

382
00:17:17.640 --> 00:17:19.680
<v Speaker 3>my mom just like said, you guys can have the

383
00:17:19.720 --> 00:17:22.119
<v Speaker 3>queen bed, like that's fair. I'll sleep in the smaller

384
00:17:22.160 --> 00:17:24.359
<v Speaker 3>bed while you guys don't care. So that's why it is,

385
00:17:24.440 --> 00:17:26.240
<v Speaker 3>just because we're two people versus one.

386
00:17:26.319 --> 00:17:27.960
<v Speaker 4>Well, I'll just be like, Mom, now you can stay

387
00:17:28.039 --> 00:17:29.160
<v Speaker 4>in your own bed.

388
00:17:29.440 --> 00:17:30.960
<v Speaker 2>I know, I don't I don't know.

389
00:17:31.039 --> 00:17:34.000
<v Speaker 3>I don't get it, but whatever, It's one of those

390
00:17:34.000 --> 00:17:36.119
<v Speaker 3>little things that I just like let her get angry about,

391
00:17:36.119 --> 00:17:37.480
<v Speaker 3>but in the end, we're still going to sleep in

392
00:17:37.480 --> 00:17:38.240
<v Speaker 3>the camper vans.

393
00:17:38.279 --> 00:17:38.519
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

394
00:17:38.559 --> 00:17:40.519
<v Speaker 1>When I was around your age, i'd go visit my

395
00:17:40.559 --> 00:17:42.960
<v Speaker 1>mom and dad, and a lot of the time I

396
00:17:42.960 --> 00:17:46.160
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't stay at their house. I would stay at a hotel, like,

397
00:17:46.279 --> 00:17:48.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, ten fifteen minutes away. And I'm looking back,

398
00:17:48.759 --> 00:17:52.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't remember why. I don't remember, because they had

399
00:17:52.480 --> 00:17:54.440
<v Speaker 1>plenty of room, and I had my old bedroom and

400
00:17:54.480 --> 00:17:56.200
<v Speaker 1>it wasn't a whole lot different than it was when

401
00:17:56.240 --> 00:17:58.559
<v Speaker 1>I lived in that room. I don't remember, But I

402
00:17:58.599 --> 00:18:00.920
<v Speaker 1>think I just liked the privacy. I don't remember.

403
00:18:01.119 --> 00:18:02.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think it is.

404
00:18:02.240 --> 00:18:03.680
<v Speaker 3>Though. You get to a point where you get to

405
00:18:03.680 --> 00:18:05.319
<v Speaker 3>an age where you're like, I don't really want to

406
00:18:05.319 --> 00:18:07.319
<v Speaker 3>stay at my parents because I said that to my

407
00:18:07.359 --> 00:18:09.240
<v Speaker 3>mom that we might be getting into airbnb when we

408
00:18:09.240 --> 00:18:11.160
<v Speaker 3>come home for holidays now, And that was a whole

409
00:18:11.519 --> 00:18:12.359
<v Speaker 3>whole fucking thing.

410
00:18:13.039 --> 00:18:17.079
<v Speaker 1>So that is not happening, all right, any comments on anything,

411
00:18:17.160 --> 00:18:20.799
