Speaker 1: Here we go with the Minnesota Goodbye. Our first email
Speaker 1: is going to reference something that we talked about on
Speaker 1: the show just this morning. And we love whatever it
Speaker 1: is you bring up, whatever it is you want to
Speaker 1: bring up on the Minnesota Goodbye. We love doing it
Speaker 1: because you write the show. You write this And if
Speaker 1: you write a letter or an email, write a letter,
Speaker 1: when's the last time you mail a letter? Like? When's
Speaker 1: the letter? Have you ever had a pen pal? I
Speaker 1: used to write to my cousin Brian on a letter.
Speaker 1: I'd be like, dear Brian, what are you doing? I
Speaker 1: have had fun at school? When's the last time you
Speaker 1: wrote a letter? Bailey?
Speaker 2: I think I wrote one to be like for Novelty
Speaker 2: to one of my former coworkers at the Kelly Farm,
Speaker 2: and he would write letters back and forth, and I
Speaker 2: always think I should write her again, I should write
Speaker 2: her again, and I just never do.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I get it, Jenny, was the last time you
Speaker 1: wrote a letter?
Speaker 3: I don't think I could tell you. I have no idea.
Speaker 3: Probably when I was forced to an elementary school or something.
Speaker 1: So she goes on to say, or starts to say.
Speaker 1: During thing Fast this morning, Dave talked about bobbing for
Speaker 1: apples and how how gross it is, and then made
Speaker 1: the joke that that's how COVID started. I was talking
Speaker 1: about how I went to an apple pow or an
Speaker 1: apple party, a Halloween party. We had bobbing for apples
Speaker 1: Moni Sloan's house in Black Forest, and we were probably
Speaker 1: eight or ten years old, and they had bobbing for apples,
Speaker 1: and I remember the kids would do it and they
Speaker 1: would first of all, who wants an apple? Second, when
Speaker 1: you bob you would get spit floating in the tub,
Speaker 1: and I remember looking at it, going that's gross, that's
Speaker 1: really gross. Anyway, Dave made the joke that's how COVID started,
Speaker 1: and that the whole conversation made me think of how
Speaker 1: during COVID I had young children. I realized all of
Speaker 1: a sudden that we have little kids spit all over
Speaker 1: the cake under the guys of blowing out their birthday candles,
Speaker 1: and then everybody eats it. It's so gross. So since
Speaker 1: twenty twenty, we have not done a birthday cake. We
Speaker 1: do cupcakes and my kid gets candles on their individual
Speaker 1: cupcake and then nobody else has to eat their spit. Oh,
Speaker 1: that's a gross way to put it, Yes, do you
Speaker 1: all have things that were super normal pre COVID you
Speaker 1: suddenly realize they're actually really gross and you know longer?
Speaker 1: Do not? Really, do you guys have anything that you
Speaker 1: did pre COVID?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 3: I mean I've heard the cake thing before that people
Speaker 3: are like, how are we letting people just blow out
Speaker 3: the candles all the time? I don't think so, I
Speaker 3: don't know. I mean, I still know people who wear
Speaker 3: masks into places and stuff, but I definitely don't.
Speaker 1: Why are people still wearing masks?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 1: They do? Not know they literally afraid of COVID?
Speaker 2: No, I think I mean, I think they're just being
Speaker 2: like mindful of like people who have autoimmune diseases and whatnot. So,
Speaker 2: I mean, I have a friend who's definitely in that
Speaker 2: kind of community, so she wears a mask constantly. I
Speaker 2: don't know if I've really seen her face without a
Speaker 2: mask on in years.
Speaker 1: Do you remember when they said the handshake was going
Speaker 1: to go away during COVID? They said it's such a
Speaker 1: weird custom, and they said that after COVID goes away,
Speaker 1: the handshake will probably go away as well, And it
Speaker 1: did not. People still want to shake hands.
Speaker 2: I shake people's hands less now though than I did before.
Speaker 2: And like same with like sharing food or sharing drinks.
Speaker 2: I do that way less now than I did before.
Speaker 3: I do it doesn't seem like it.
Speaker 4: I'm saying, I do it less.
Speaker 2: Like if I was in like the club and someone
Speaker 2: had a drink in their hand and I want to
Speaker 2: be like, oh is that good, and they offered it
Speaker 2: to me, I wouldn't taste it.
Speaker 1: We make fun of Bailey because I'll have, like, you know,
Speaker 1: a like a glad ware thing of salmon and rice,
Speaker 1: and Bailey be like, hey, can I have some? And
Speaker 1: so I will use my same plastic fork and Bailey
Speaker 1: will take a big bite, but you scrape it off
Speaker 1: with your teeth.
Speaker 4: You do it with my teeth so I don't get
Speaker 4: my spit all over it.
Speaker 1: I do appreciate that she goes on to say love
Speaker 1: you guys, love the show. No need for a sticker.
Speaker 1: I already have one, although my eight year old did
Speaker 1: steal it from me since he was on the show
Speaker 1: and he said he deserves it more Aaron, thank you.
Speaker 1: I'm going to hit delete on that one and that one,
Speaker 1: and here's one. This is one need to remember one
Speaker 1: need is a very colorful writer. Hey y'all, Hey, hey Jannita. Here,
Speaker 1: there's been a couple of days writing in. But the
Speaker 1: assholes at my job called bosses seem to think that
Speaker 1: I come into work to actually do shit. Lol. Well
Speaker 1: here's another random rant about some shit that got on
Speaker 1: my nerves. Here we go, catching up on the podcast
Speaker 1: of the show. I heard you guys talking about head lice,
Speaker 1: which made me think of a situation with my daughter
Speaker 1: at school. I am African American, I am an African
Speaker 1: American woman, and I live in Andover. My daughter was
Speaker 1: in elementary school at the time, and she was the
Speaker 1: only back black kid in the class. One day, one
Speaker 1: of the other kids came in had head lice was
Speaker 1: in turn infected all nineteen kids in the class. Wow,
Speaker 1: except for guess which one mine. My daughter said she
Speaker 1: was the only one in the class it didn't have
Speaker 1: head lice. Here's the part that pissed me off. So
Speaker 1: the other kids got to go home, But because my
Speaker 1: daughter didn't have lice, she was the only one left behind,
Speaker 1: like the last little raisin in the box. Why not
Speaker 1: just send her home instead of having her in a
Speaker 1: whole classroom by herself? Hug my. Mom said, lice can't
Speaker 1: live in our hair. That's why she didn't get it.
Speaker 1: She was being funny, but it turned out okay. She
Speaker 1: had to play game as watch movies, so she had fun.
Speaker 1: Thanks for being the number one radio station and keeping
Speaker 1: me entertained at this shit show they call a job.
Speaker 1: Talk to you soon.
Speaker 2: That sounds like the best day of school. Everyone's gone
Speaker 2: because they have lights and you just get to play
Speaker 2: games and watch movies all day.
Speaker 1: That would be kind of cool. You're the only kid
Speaker 1: in school. I feel like that happened to me at
Speaker 1: one point. I don't know if it was a bad
Speaker 1: snow day and maybe it was kindergarten and no other
Speaker 1: kids showed up, so I think it was the only
Speaker 1: one in class. Good dang, and we just like colored
Speaker 1: and did fingerpaint or something all day.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, one of those my senior year.
Speaker 2: It was a snow day that was or it was
Speaker 2: like so cold it was like polar ice vortex or something,
Speaker 2: and they said school was not mandatory, it was optional,
Speaker 2: and so of course everyone's like, well, I'm making an
Speaker 2: option to not come to school today, and I.
Speaker 4: Was like, well, I gotta go to school, So I.
Speaker 2: Wore like three pairs of pants because it was so
Speaker 2: freaking cold. And I went to school and I was
Speaker 2: like one of I don't know a handful of kids
Speaker 2: at school.
Speaker 4: It was great.
Speaker 1: I think probably in minnesot To most people have a
Speaker 1: story about like some sort of extreme weather from the
Speaker 1: Halloween blizzard or something. I remember in Colorado one time,
Speaker 1: I was in about third grade, they called off school early.
Speaker 1: It was Halloween. They sent everybody home, and the governor
Speaker 1: canceled trick or treating. They said, no, trick or treating
Speaker 1: is too dangerous. I'm like, fuck that, I'm going trick
Speaker 1: or treating. So I had snow up to my waist
Speaker 1: at least, and I crossed the street to trick or
Speaker 1: treat and the neighbors scolded me and they said, trick
Speaker 1: or treating's been canceled. And I think back, my mom
Speaker 1: and dad must have let me get out of the
Speaker 1: house in three feet of snow to go trick or treating.
Speaker 1: They either didn't know or they didn't care. I could
Speaker 1: have died out there.
Speaker 3: You could have died yourself.
Speaker 4: Third grade, Oh yeah, we used to get ourselves in
Speaker 4: third grade.
Speaker 1: Eight well, we lived in a safe neighborhood.
Speaker 3: I know, but I don't know. I feel like my
Speaker 3: parents went with me trick or treating everywhere until you
Speaker 3: were just too old to trick or treat.
Speaker 1: Oh really yeah?
Speaker 4: Oh.
Speaker 1: I remember the first time Carson went trigger treating by himself,
Speaker 1: he was probably in about third grade. He went with
Speaker 1: his friend Tyson, and up until that point I always
Speaker 1: went with him. It was a whole lot of fun.
Speaker 1: And so him and Tyson go out by themselves and
Speaker 1: they don't come back, and they don't come back, and
Speaker 1: now it's like they should have been back. And it
Speaker 1: was the point where even the high school kids were
Speaker 1: done trigger treating, and so we're like panicking. We're like,
Speaker 1: oh my god. So Sue, I get in the car.
Speaker 1: I'm driving around. All the trigger treaters are home, no
Speaker 1: sign of Carson or Tyson, and I thought, this is
Speaker 1: oh my god, it's terrible. It's terrible. And I would
Speaker 1: call the house. Did they show up, No, have you
Speaker 1: found him yet?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 1: And we finally found them coming up. They went down
Speaker 1: one long street and then came up the other side
Speaker 1: of the street, just having the time of their lives
Speaker 1: with a pillowcase full of candy and boy, you talk
Speaker 1: about panic because you think they could have been abducted
Speaker 1: a couple of eight year olds out trick or treating.
Speaker 1: But it goes back to what I've always told parents.
Speaker 1: You will lose track of your kid several times during
Speaker 1: their childhood. I promise you you'll find them. You'll lose
Speaker 1: them at the fair, you'll lose them at the apple farm,
Speaker 1: you'll lose them at them all. You will find them.
Speaker 1: The time from when you realize they're loss so you
Speaker 1: find them will be the longest eight minutes of your life,
Speaker 1: and you will think of every bad possible thing, but
Speaker 1: rest assured you will find them.
Speaker 2: And they weren't even thinking about being lost. They were
Speaker 2: just like, we're having a great I'm a power.
Speaker 1: Ranger, right, don't say a name. I couldn't decide if
Speaker 1: I wanted to write him, and I'm laying in bed
Speaker 1: decided I felt like I should, even though I'm sure
Speaker 1: you have tons of responses or many people like me
Speaker 1: who are debating, and some of these people decided not to, Well,
Speaker 1: what are they talking about? Of course, everybody is entitled
Speaker 1: to their own opinion on what is attractive. I do
Speaker 1: think it's okay to worry about a partner, want them
Speaker 1: to be healthy so they can live a long lifetime
Speaker 1: and you can spend quality years together. But Bailey had
Speaker 1: a great point. Many body types and shapes are healthy.
Speaker 1: It can be hard to look at somebody overweight and
Speaker 1: think they're healthy. A lot of times they might not be,
Speaker 1: but they can have a clean bill of health, while
Speaker 1: a person who is not considered overweight could have worse health.
Speaker 1: For example, maybe they have high blood pressure, cancer, bad cholesterol,
Speaker 1: et cetera. I appreciated Bailey's point of view because I
Speaker 1: do think love shouldn't be based on appearance, and I
Speaker 1: think that's really shallow if it does. Yes, I understand
Speaker 1: weight can affect physical health not always, and can affect
Speaker 1: activity level. But again, I do not want to pretend
Speaker 1: like I know all of your backstories with weight loss,
Speaker 1: but let me share some of mine. By the way,
Speaker 1: a pet peeve of mine or weight loss coaches who
Speaker 1: say I am a pro at helping you lose tons
Speaker 1: of weight and they've never had to lose substantial amount
Speaker 1: of weights themselves, They've always been skinny. I think that's
Speaker 1: a funny thing about Instagram influencers who are like, here's
Speaker 1: how I got shredded.
Speaker 4: Mmmm.
Speaker 1: They were genetically.
Speaker 4: Gifted that way to be shredded.
Speaker 1: I'm in my late twent In college, I gained some
Speaker 1: weight the freshman fifteen no more like the freshman thirty.
Speaker 1: By the time I graduated college, I was probably one
Speaker 1: hundred pounds over weight. Stress was a huge factor. I
Speaker 1: didn't realize it at the time, and I was very active.
Speaker 1: I played recreational sports three times a week. I worked out.
Speaker 1: My first year out of college twenty nineteen, my partner
Speaker 1: and I had been together for a year and a
Speaker 1: half of this point, decided to make some changes. We
Speaker 1: lost fifty pounds each WOW in about seven months and
Speaker 1: kept it off until the pandemic hit. Then we probably
Speaker 1: gained it all back then double Now. It's easy to
Speaker 1: talk about binge eating, or being a couch potato or
Speaker 1: not taking care of yourself. But I was close to
Speaker 1: tears listening to your show yesterday. And I don't say
Speaker 1: that to make you feel bad, but I think Jenny
Speaker 1: and Dave were harsh in their quick opinions about weight
Speaker 1: gain and attractiveness. Maybe it wasn't your intentions, but it
Speaker 1: came off badly, And maybe it was your intentions too.
Speaker 1: I wanted to tell you that sometimes things like weight
Speaker 1: gain and obesity is more than just people letting themselves
Speaker 1: get fat. Trust me, no one wants to get fat.
Speaker 1: My personal struggles were mental health related, some depression, mostly anxiety.
Speaker 1: I don't just sit on the couch either. Yes, food
Speaker 1: was an anxiety coping mechanism, but I was still very active.
Speaker 1: Actually lived in Colorado, did a bunch of difficult trails.
Speaker 1: They were harder at the higher weight, but I did them.
Speaker 1: I even hiked fourteen miles in Glacier National Park that
Speaker 1: year and one day trip out and back. It's taking
Speaker 1: a lot of therapy, hard work, and I don't know
Speaker 1: what else. I'm still in a journey, but I've lost
Speaker 1: about seventy five pounds in the last ten months. I
Speaker 1: don't want to congratulations because I got a long way
Speaker 1: to go and this journey is lifelong, especially when my
Speaker 1: mental health is so integral to my physical health. But
Speaker 1: I hope you take that into consideration. I love you all,
Speaker 1: but honestly, Bailey was the only reason I didn't turn
Speaker 1: off your podcast today. I've never been upset or offended
Speaker 1: by anything you've ever said on the radio, but I
Speaker 1: felt like it was hard to hear and I'm not
Speaker 1: sure how this email will be perceived, but I had
Speaker 1: to share it. Your perception is I mean, that is perfect.
Speaker 1: That is what you get to do. Is you get
Speaker 1: to give us your input on the Minnesota Goodbye. Yeah,
Speaker 1: for sure, and that is your story. And I appreciate
Speaker 1: you taking time to write the longest goddamn email we've
Speaker 1: ever read on the Minnesota Goodbye, but I wanted to
Speaker 1: be fair and read the entire thing. Next one, let
Speaker 1: me preread it first. I'm gonna skip that one because
Speaker 1: they are a frequent staff writer, and honestly, I don't
Speaker 1: It wasn't like the most meaningful email, so I'm gonna
Speaker 1: skip that one. Hello. The other day I found a
Speaker 1: site that showed up that you had to a zume
Speaker 1: ukulele group. Are you still doing that? I belong to
Speaker 1: the Twin Cities Ukulele Club. I would love to join another,
Speaker 1: so I'll write them back off the air. I should
Speaker 1: have pre read that.
Speaker 4: Why are ukulele club?
Speaker 1: Next one? They said? I feel I must put the
Speaker 1: foundation out there that yes, there are a lot of
Speaker 1: us that love only ketch up on a hot dog.
Speaker 1: I hate mustard, relish, pickles, horse readdish, and all the
Speaker 1: other weird things people put on hot dogs and brats
Speaker 1: because I said nobody, but nobody puts ketchup on a
Speaker 1: hot dog, And you two amateurs are like, I love
Speaker 1: ketchup on a hot dog? Did you say that?
Speaker 4: Throw me under the we like ketchup?
Speaker 1: What do you like on hot dog?
Speaker 4: I like mustard, sauer kraut onions.
Speaker 1: Okay, good, Then you're on the right track. I know
Speaker 1: both Dave and Fallon. That's you apparently agree that the
Speaker 1: only thing that prolongs on a hot dog are broad
Speaker 1: is mustard. But you're wrong. I will only ever enjoy
Speaker 1: a hot dog or a brought with either nothing or
Speaker 1: ketchup to access the flavor. I'm sitting in South Carolina
Speaker 1: in Myrtle Beach and joining a lovely hot dog, and
Speaker 1: I heard this podcast. Say it with me. Ketchup is okay,
Speaker 1: ketchup is good. Ketchup is okay, ketchup is good. No
Speaker 1: quiz time. What booth does Bailey work at at the
Speaker 1: Renaissance Festival?
Speaker 3: Jenny um something where she sells chocolates.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's called the Royal Sweets.
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, what is Danger Committee, because her answer was.
Speaker 2: Danger Committee is who I work for. So it's the
Speaker 2: Danger Committee's Royal Sweets tent where I sell chocolate.
Speaker 1: Are you going to be there at Sunday Sunday? Yes?
Speaker 1: What time?
Speaker 2: I will be there eight to five? Well, it doesn't
Speaker 2: open until nine, so a long day.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I mean I even get off early on Sundays.
Speaker 1: So m And another question, because she's an expert on
Speaker 1: the show, what did Dave Ryan bribe Allison with to
Speaker 1: go on the log ride at Mall of America? Anybody
Speaker 1: dippin' dots?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 1: Close?
Speaker 3: I know why I should knows, but I don't know.
Speaker 1: A candy necklace and that's candy necklace. I'll got you
Speaker 1: a candy necklace. Bad IDEA. Good morning, says Neil from Atlanta.
Speaker 1: I love hearing you read all the emails and of
Speaker 1: course mind so I taught for thirteen years. We did
Speaker 1: ice breakers all the time. My question is do you
Speaker 1: have any good ice breakers? And what are the worst
Speaker 1: ones You've been part of? Here are mind for you?
Speaker 1: You just got a new phone. You get all the
Speaker 1: apps that are preloaded. You only get to pick three
Speaker 1: other apps to install. Which ones do you pick? Dart
Speaker 1: Lickety lickity lick Neil m from Atlanta, Georgia. Jenny, you
Speaker 1: go first, what three other apps do you install? Install?
Speaker 3: Okay?
Speaker 4: Is okay?
Speaker 3: Instagram?
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay.
Speaker 3: I really don't use that many apps, so I don't
Speaker 3: think this is that hard. I probably do Instagram, TikTok,
Speaker 3: and Google Maps comes with your phone, right, Yeah, it's
Speaker 3: like the only other one I like, really use a lot? Really, yeah,
Speaker 3: I don't. I don't use a lot of apps.
Speaker 1: I use Marco Polo, which is a free video messaging
Speaker 1: app that works just like text messages, but you send
Speaker 1: recorded videos and your friend can either watch them live
Speaker 1: or they can watch at their leisure. That's called Marco Polo.
Speaker 1: I love it. I use it all the time. Also,
Speaker 1: flight Radar twenty four to seven is an airplane app
Speaker 1: that lets you track any flight, private or commercial in
Speaker 1: the world. And I can't think of another one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would probably keep Instagram for sure, TikTok for sure.
Speaker 2: And then I use an app called Discord, which is
Speaker 2: kind of like a thing video game kids use, but
Speaker 2: I use it to connect with my speech and debate team,
Speaker 2: so it's like our main form of communication.
Speaker 4: It's kind of like a message board. So I discord
Speaker 4: as well. Yeah, that's what I did mine.
Speaker 3: Oh you did, Yeah, I did mine already.
Speaker 1: What day is it today?
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're doing great.
Speaker 3: But I did think of the other one because I
Speaker 3: said to only two main ones, probably Venmo. Oh yeah,
Speaker 3: but then I guess if other people are only getting
Speaker 3: three choices, maybe not everyone else is going to happen.
Speaker 1: But I think she's Venmo.
Speaker 3: I just think Venmo is like one of the best
Speaker 3: things ever.
Speaker 1: Next email says, don't same a name, so let's not okay,
Speaker 1: says I was totally disappointed and disgusted by the weight
Speaker 1: talk on the Minnesota Goodbye. What if there's a medical
Speaker 1: condition causing weight gain, Let's look at Sunny Lee. She
Speaker 1: gained forty pounds due to medical conditions and was able
Speaker 1: to come back and go to the Olympics. How flipping
Speaker 1: disappointing to say I wouldn't love my partner if they
Speaker 1: gained weight. You are assuming it is dude is sitting
Speaker 1: on the couch eating poorly. It could be due to health,
Speaker 1: physical or mental. The only person who made sense was Bailey,
Speaker 1: and you totally brushed her off. Sorry, guys, but not
Speaker 1: everybody is the Barbie body type you were making the ideal.
Speaker 1: Maybe don't talk about this anymore if you aren't willing
Speaker 1: to listen and hear other viewpoints. Still love the show. Okay, Well,
Speaker 1: I think there's a difference between a health weight gain
Speaker 1: and other weight gain. But here's what It's too divisive.
Speaker 1: So we're going to drop this topic unless I get
Speaker 1: emails that degree with me. Fair enough, If I get
Speaker 1: emails that agree with me, Dave, then I will read them.
Speaker 3: Well what well I was to say the two emails
Speaker 3: that we've had today on this podcast alone, I'm not
Speaker 3: gonna sit and say that, like I might be a
Speaker 3: little blinded by things, but like I did used to
Speaker 3: be a little bit more overweight, and I've gotten in shape,
Speaker 3: and probably not to the extent of having to lose
Speaker 3: one hundred pounds, but I've been through different phases of
Speaker 3: my life. But I did have that conversation with Andrew
Speaker 3: yesterday asking him how he felt, like what if I
Speaker 3: gained one hundred pounds, and he was kind of on
Speaker 3: the same side as me, but he did bring up
Speaker 3: the fact that health reasons could cause that, just like
Speaker 3: this person who just emailed then, so like I understand,
Speaker 3: Like yesterday, I feel like we were very narrowly talking
Speaker 3: about someone gaining weight from being lazy. I think and
Speaker 3: even that like happens to people. I'm just saying. I
Speaker 3: think I was just trying to say that that's just
Speaker 3: like not who I like started dating as someone who
Speaker 3: gained like would gain weight because they got lazy. That's
Speaker 3: where it would be weird to me to see Andrew
Speaker 3: gain one hundred pounds because I just don't think he
Speaker 3: would do that unless he became lazy, And that's like
Speaker 3: not the person who I fell in love with.
Speaker 1: I totally, I totally understand. I think that people want
Speaker 1: to hear certain things sometimes that we are not saying.
Speaker 1: But I will say that if Susan decided that she
Speaker 1: was no longer going to is she was going to
Speaker 1: Culver's twice a day, and she put on one hundred pounds,
Speaker 1: I'd be like, goddamn it, it's because you're going to
Speaker 1: Culvers twice a day. Now she got a kidney and
Speaker 1: and she put one hundred pounds of water weight, I
Speaker 1: wouldn't be like, how dare you get a kidney infection? Well,
Speaker 1: that's going to be a different deal. And it's just
Speaker 1: like me when I put on weight, I know it's
Speaker 1: because I've been to culvers twice a day or i
Speaker 1: had rib tips delicious by the way, So yeah, there's
Speaker 1: a difference between get weight gain of one kind and
Speaker 1: there's you know, I feel bad for people that have
Speaker 1: been like there's some people in my family that they
Speaker 1: are young and they're heavy. When I say young, I
Speaker 1: don't want to say how young and be specific, but
Speaker 1: they're young and heavy and they're always going to battle
Speaker 1: with that.
Speaker 3: I think that's true, right, And I'm very well aware that,
Speaker 3: like everybody is different and some people are more naturally
Speaker 3: skinny and stuff. And I like me saying that, like
Speaker 3: maybe I wouldn't be interested in Andrew if he gained
Speaker 3: one hundred pounds doesn't mean that I'm saying I don't
Speaker 3: like you if you're overweight. I think that, like on
Speaker 3: Bailey's terms, there are a lot of people I know
Speaker 3: that are in shape and they are what I guess
Speaker 3: medically a doctor would say is overweight, you know, but
Speaker 3: they're still in shape. And I think that that the
Speaker 3: most important thing is being healthy in the end is
Speaker 3: if you are healthy, then good.
Speaker 1: Next one that says, don't say my name. I love
Speaker 1: Bailey so much.
Speaker 3: Huh.
Speaker 1: But I mostly agree with Dave here. If you are
Speaker 1: clearly obese, respectfully, I really do think you are probably
Speaker 1: not so healthy on the inside. I'm certainly not obese,
Speaker 1: But when I track calories and movement really closely, it's
Speaker 1: no wonder I can't lose weight. I've tracked what I
Speaker 1: normally eat for a week, and I was unknowingly consuming
Speaker 1: so many extra calories, an influx of sugar and salt,
Speaker 1: bad fats, etc. I could lose weight. Walking with fifteen
Speaker 1: extra pounds was becoming taxing for me, feeling groggy all day.
Speaker 1: All that to say, it's really not hard to gain
Speaker 1: It's hard not to gain weight in the US well,
Speaker 1: all this shit they pump into our food. But awareness
Speaker 1: really is key. A lot of people don't know how
Speaker 1: deeply a consistent influx of calorie, sugar and saturated facts
Speaker 1: impact what happens inside your body and the long term
Speaker 1: effects it can have. With that, it's important to love
Speaker 1: your body at all stages, but love your body enough
Speaker 1: to take care of it. When it comes to partner
Speaker 1: weight gain. In marriages and long term partnerships, you agree
Speaker 1: to keep your partner's best interest top of mind, especially
Speaker 1: when they can't. If I gain one hundred pounds relatively quickly,
Speaker 1: I'm clearly not in the right state of mind or
Speaker 1: physical health, and would hope my husband would step in
Speaker 1: and make decisions on my behalf and push me a
Speaker 1: bit harder, because I clearly can't help myself right now,
Speaker 1: even if it's hard to hear. Same thing for mental health,
Speaker 1: if I can't get out of a deep depression, I
Speaker 1: would hope my husband would step in and get me
Speaker 1: the help I need, even if I don't want it.
Speaker 1: Love you all so much, the new crew is fantastic.
Speaker 1: Hope to see you at the fair this year. I
Speaker 1: think that's true. It's kind of like, let's make it
Speaker 1: not about food or mental health, but let's make it
Speaker 1: about drinking. Let's say that your partner is drinking four
Speaker 1: glasses of wine, maybe two bottles of wine a night. Well,
Speaker 1: of course, then you hope that you would step in
Speaker 1: and say you can't drink that much wine. You've got
Speaker 1: to get help, because for you to sit by and go, well,
Speaker 1: that's their decision. I would jump in and say you
Speaker 1: can't drink that much wine. And if I was drinking
Speaker 1: that much wine, I would expect somebody to say something
Speaker 1: to me too, can you remember? And seriously, if I
Speaker 1: came in like hungover every day and you guys are like,
Speaker 1: Dave smells like booze, he's been you know whatever, I
Speaker 1: would kind of hope maybe that one of you would
Speaker 1: pull me aside and say, Dave, we've noticed this spell
Speaker 1: like booze.
Speaker 3: What's going on? I would say, like, what's going on?
Speaker 1: Like what's going on?
Speaker 3: Like are you okay? Because like that would be so
Speaker 3: out of characteristics for you that like it'd be a
Speaker 3: weird thing. And I just feel like something would be
Speaker 3: going on with you if you were coming in like that.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Can I bring up something that's kind of a
Speaker 1: sidebar to this one. I know we're supposed to check
Speaker 1: on our friends' mental health, and I think I brought
Speaker 1: this up. I have a friend and I don't think
Speaker 1: they listen to the Minnesota Goodbye and I think we're safe.
Speaker 1: They ask me, how are you doing a little bit
Speaker 1: too much like everything okay with you, like once a
Speaker 1: week or so, and it's like, do I give off
Speaker 1: a vibe that something's wrong? And it kind of pisses
Speaker 1: me off a little bit because I appreciate being checked
Speaker 1: up on, But it's like, do I give off a
Speaker 1: vibe that something's wrong?
Speaker 4: Aly not just making conversation, No, because.
Speaker 1: They make fine conversation about other things, okay, And it's
Speaker 1: just nobody else asked me, hey are you doing okay?
Speaker 1: Like if I were to say to you Bailey via text,
Speaker 1: hey are you doing okay?
Speaker 2: Well, then I would consider the conversations that we'd had
Speaker 2: had had in the past and use that to contribute
Speaker 2: to me asking the question in the first place. So
Speaker 2: maybe this friend of yours is going off of things
Speaker 2: that you've said to them before, likely, and so then
Speaker 2: they're concerned about that, and they instead of asking you
Speaker 2: directly about that thing that you already talked about, they're
Speaker 2: gonna say, how are you?
Speaker 4: I think it's kind but.
Speaker 1: It's just a it's a little bit much. I don't know.
Speaker 1: Maybe it's just me. I don't know. Is it a
Speaker 1: texting conversation texting conversation?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel we've I don't know if it's the
Speaker 3: same person, but we talked about this happening recently with
Speaker 3: you and somebody. Yeah, Like I think you guys had
Speaker 3: gotten dinner or something, and they like straight up said
Speaker 3: like you seem not as happy or something and it
Speaker 3: did make you feel great, which, like in person, I
Speaker 3: think is different. I think texts. I just think text
Speaker 3: messages can be read so differently to different people. So
Speaker 3: I think it's hard to like determine what a text means.
Speaker 2: Okay, maybe they're asking you because they want you to
Speaker 2: ask them, and they're a but I do.
Speaker 1: You know what? And I say, I, but this this
Speaker 1: person has had the best year. They found a great boyfriend,
Speaker 1: they've got a job they love, and everything is clicking
Speaker 1: for this person. And I text him as say god
Speaker 1: that she'll say something like this this this, I'll be like, God,
Speaker 1: you your life is going so great right now. So
Speaker 1: oh and she's doing fine. Okay, yeah, all right, moving
Speaker 1: on the next one. Don't use my name. Thanks for
Speaker 1: saying that upfront, because a lot of the time I
Speaker 1: don't catch that until later. Catching up on some minigos,
Speaker 1: soda goodbyes, and currently the one from August ninth where
Speaker 1: somebody wrote in about you ready about a masturbaitor on
Speaker 1: a ringcan footage and ask if you guys have ever
Speaker 1: caught anything and I had to write in this should
Speaker 1: be good earlier this summer. Over one weekend, my husband
Speaker 1: and I were guardenan at two am while watching TV.
Speaker 1: Now gardening is put in quotation marks.
Speaker 3: It means they're smoking weed.
Speaker 1: Oh is that what it is?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Oh, look at you, you pothead.
Speaker 3: We talked about this on the show before. I remember
Speaker 3: it was back when Drake was on the show, and
Speaker 3: we were trying to talk about it in a way
Speaker 3: that you could understand what it meant. You had to
Speaker 3: try to guess what it meant.
Speaker 1: So yeah, we hear our doorbell ring at two am.
Speaker 1: We went into a panic and froze. After a few
Speaker 1: minutes went by, we opened up our ring app to
Speaker 1: find the attached video in horror and I haven't watched it.
Speaker 1: We called the cops immediately and we were showed them
Speaker 1: the video. They recognized the guy who had apparently been
Speaker 1: all over Eden, Prairie and even Chaska doing this to
Speaker 1: multiple people. We never found out who or what he
Speaker 1: was up to, but heard from someone on the next
Speaker 1: door app that he was eventually caught and thought to
Speaker 1: be harmless, just to wacko. All our friends and family
Speaker 1: still joke about it. Regularly. We still can't get over
Speaker 1: it or help. But wonder what the hell he was doing.
Speaker 1: Now I'm gonna play the video and I will describe
Speaker 1: it to you. Are you okay with that?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Okay, let's see here's blood guts. Then no, hey, we
Speaker 1: have ring video. It comes up. He's wearing a hoodie
Speaker 1: and panties. You know he's wearing he's wearing he's wearing stockings,
Speaker 1: nylon stockings. He is a larger gentleman. He has got
Speaker 1: what looks like a backpack on and he is wearing.
Speaker 1: You this is clearly just a female undergarment, and he's
Speaker 1: and he runs off. Wow, he clearly had his junks
Speaker 1: tucked back too.
Speaker 3: Oh so so it was just nylons and no nothing
Speaker 3: else on top, something on it.
Speaker 1: Like a hoodie, kind of definitely almost naked. Oh and
Speaker 1: how violating at two o'clock in the morning.
Speaker 4: Yeah, how weird.
Speaker 1: Wow, what a weird thing.
Speaker 4: It just walks up to the door just like do.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that is some problems. Thanks for sharing that one.
Speaker 1: And with that, we're going to end the Minnesota goodbye
Speaker 1: right now, and we will get you get your email
Speaker 1: on tomorrow. We didn't get to it send him into
