When's 9 00:00:21.920 --> 00:00:24.000 the letter? Have you ever had a pen pal? I 10 00:00:24.079 --> 00:00:26.800 used to write to my cousin Brian on a letter. 11 00:00:26.879 --> 00:00:29.199 I'd be like, dear Brian, what are you doing? I 12 00:00:29.320 --> 00:00:31.879 have had fun at school? When's the last time you 13 00:00:31.920 --> 00:00:32.960 wrote a letter? Bailey? 14 00:00:33.240 --> 00:00:36.359 I think I wrote one to be like for Novelty 15 00:00:36.600 --> 00:00:39.280 to one of my former coworkers at the Kelly Farm, 16 00:00:39.439 --> 00:00:41.359 and he would write letters back and forth, and I 17 00:00:41.439 --> 00:00:43.560 always think I should write her again, I should write 18 00:00:43.560 --> 00:00:44.640 her again, and I just never do. 19 00:00:44.840 --> 00:00:46.560 Yeah, I get it, Jenny, was the last time you 20 00:00:46.600 --> 00:00:47.039 wrote a letter? 21 00:00:47.159 --> 00:00:49.320 I don't think I could tell you. I have no idea. 22 00:00:49.439 --> 00:00:52.240 Probably when I was forced to an elementary school or something. 23 00:00:53.719 --> 00:00:56.359 So she goes on to say, or starts to say. 24 00:00:56.560 --> 00:00:59.079 During thing Fast this morning, Dave talked about bobbing for 25 00:00:59.119 --> 00:01:01.280 apples and how how gross it is, and then made 26 00:01:01.320 --> 00:01:03.840 the joke that that's how COVID started. I was talking 27 00:01:03.880 --> 00:01:05.319 about how I went to an apple pow or an 28 00:01:05.319 --> 00:01:08.200 apple party, a Halloween party. We had bobbing for apples 29 00:01:08.239 --> 00:01:11.879 Moni Sloan's house in Black Forest, and we were probably 30 00:01:11.959 --> 00:01:14.200 eight or ten years old, and they had bobbing for apples, 31 00:01:14.439 --> 00:01:16.159 and I remember the kids would do it and they 32 00:01:16.159 --> 00:01:19.239 would first of all, who wants an apple? Second, when 33 00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:21.920 you bob you would get spit floating in the tub, 34 00:01:22.200 --> 00:01:24.760 and I remember looking at it, going that's gross, that's 35 00:01:24.799 --> 00:01:28.319 really gross. Anyway, Dave made the joke that's how COVID started, 36 00:01:28.359 --> 00:01:30.400 and that the whole conversation made me think of how 37 00:01:30.480 --> 00:01:33.439 during COVID I had young children. I realized all of 38 00:01:33.480 --> 00:01:35.959 a sudden that we have little kids spit all over 39 00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:39.519 the cake under the guys of blowing out their birthday candles, 40 00:01:39.599 --> 00:01:43.599 and then everybody eats it. It's so gross. So since 41 00:01:43.640 --> 00:01:45.719 twenty twenty, we have not done a birthday cake. We 42 00:01:45.760 --> 00:01:49.159 do cupcakes and my kid gets candles on their individual 43 00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:52.239 cupcake and then nobody else has to eat their spit. Oh, 44 00:01:52.319 --> 00:01:54.480 that's a gross way to put it, Yes, do you 45 00:01:54.519 --> 00:01:56.920 all have things that were super normal pre COVID you 46 00:01:56.920 --> 00:02:00.480 suddenly realize they're actually really gross and you know longer? 47 00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:04.519 Do not? Really, do you guys have anything that you 48 00:02:04.519 --> 00:02:05.359 did pre COVID? 49 00:02:05.519 --> 00:02:05.599 No? 50 00:02:05.719 --> 00:02:08.479 I mean I've heard the cake thing before that people 51 00:02:08.479 --> 00:02:10.479 are like, how are we letting people just blow out 52 00:02:10.520 --> 00:02:13.240 the candles all the time? I don't think so, I 53 00:02:13.639 --> 00:02:15.479 don't know. I mean, I still know people who wear 54 00:02:15.560 --> 00:02:18.919 masks into places and stuff, but I definitely don't. 55 00:02:18.680 --> 00:02:19.919 Why are people still wearing masks? 56 00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:20.120 Right? 57 00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:22.439 They do? Not know they literally afraid of COVID? 58 00:02:22.639 --> 00:02:24.400 No, I think I mean, I think they're just being 59 00:02:24.439 --> 00:02:29.120 like mindful of like people who have autoimmune diseases and whatnot. So, 60 00:02:29.479 --> 00:02:31.879 I mean, I have a friend who's definitely in that 61 00:02:32.039 --> 00:02:35.719 kind of community, so she wears a mask constantly. I 62 00:02:35.719 --> 00:02:38.039 don't know if I've really seen her face without a 63 00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:39.000 mask on in years. 64 00:02:39.199 --> 00:02:41.479 Do you remember when they said the handshake was going 65 00:02:41.560 --> 00:02:43.719 to go away during COVID? They said it's such a 66 00:02:43.759 --> 00:02:48.599 weird custom, and they said that after COVID goes away, 67 00:02:48.639 --> 00:02:51.199 the handshake will probably go away as well, And it 68 00:02:51.240 --> 00:02:52.960 did not. People still want to shake hands. 69 00:02:52.919 --> 00:02:56.479 I shake people's hands less now though than I did before. 70 00:02:56.840 --> 00:02:59.960 And like same with like sharing food or sharing drinks. 71 00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:03.159 I do that way less now than I did before. 72 00:03:04.120 --> 00:03:06.439 I do it doesn't seem like it. 73 00:03:07.759 --> 00:03:08.960 I'm saying, I do it less. 74 00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:11.280 Like if I was in like the club and someone 75 00:03:11.319 --> 00:03:12.639 had a drink in their hand and I want to 76 00:03:12.639 --> 00:03:14.319 be like, oh is that good, and they offered it 77 00:03:14.360 --> 00:03:15.680 to me, I wouldn't taste it. 78 00:03:16.680 --> 00:03:18.560 We make fun of Bailey because I'll have, like, you know, 79 00:03:18.639 --> 00:03:21.800 a like a glad ware thing of salmon and rice, 80 00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:23.840 and Bailey be like, hey, can I have some?

No need for a sticker. 88 00:03:35.800 --> 00:03:37.639 I already have one, although my eight year old did 89 00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:40.159 steal it from me since he was on the show 90 00:03:40.199 --> 00:03:43.919 and he said he deserves it more Aaron, thank you. 91 00:03:44.240 --> 00:03:46.759 I'm going to hit delete on that one and that one, 92 00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:50.599 and here's one. This is one need to remember one 93 00:03:50.639 --> 00:03:55.159 need is a very colorful writer. Hey y'all, Hey, hey Jannita. Here, 94 00:03:55.199 --> 00:03:56.840 there's been a couple of days writing in. But the 95 00:03:56.879 --> 00:04:00.599 assholes at my job called bosses seem to think that 96 00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:03.439 I come into work to actually do shit. Lol. Well 97 00:04:03.439 --> 00:04:05.599 here's another random rant about some shit that got on 98 00:04:05.639 --> 00:04:08.599 my nerves. Here we go, catching up on the podcast 99 00:04:08.599 --> 00:04:10.439 of the show. I heard you guys talking about head lice, 100 00:04:10.439 --> 00:04:13.280 which made me think of a situation with my daughter 101 00:04:13.360 --> 00:04:16.319 at school. I am African American, I am an African 102 00:04:16.360 --> 00:04:19.560 American woman, and I live in Andover. My daughter was 103 00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:21.560 in elementary school at the time, and she was the 104 00:04:21.560 --> 00:04:24.480 only back black kid in the class. One day, one 105 00:04:24.519 --> 00:04:26.800 of the other kids came in had head lice was 106 00:04:26.879 --> 00:04:31.399 in turn infected all nineteen kids in the class. Wow, 107 00:04:31.439 --> 00:04:35.600 except for guess which one mine. My daughter said she 108 00:04:35.680 --> 00:04:37.240 was the only one in the class it didn't have 109 00:04:37.319 --> 00:04:39.959 head lice. Here's the part that pissed me off. So 110 00:04:40.040 --> 00:04:41.759 the other kids got to go home, But because my 111 00:04:41.839 --> 00:04:45.040 daughter didn't have lice, she was the only one left behind, 112 00:04:45.160 --> 00:04:48.279 like the last little raisin in the box. Why not 113 00:04:48.399 --> 00:04:49.959 just send her home instead of having her in a 114 00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:53.600 whole classroom by herself? Hug my. Mom said, lice can't 115 00:04:53.639 --> 00:04:56.240 live in our hair. That's why she didn't get it. 116 00:04:56.879 --> 00:04:59.439 She was being funny, but it turned out okay. She 117 00:04:59.480 --> 00:05:01.639 had to play game as watch movies, so she had fun. 118 00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:04.079 Thanks for being the number one radio station and keeping 119 00:05:04.120 --> 00:05:07.519 me entertained at this shit show they call a job. 120 00:05:07.800 --> 00:05:09.199 Talk to you soon. 121 00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:11.959 That sounds like the best day of school. Everyone's gone 122 00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:13.959 because they have lights and you just get to play 123 00:05:14.040 --> 00:05:15.720 games and watch movies all day. 124 00:05:16.040 --> 00:05:17.600 That would be kind of cool. You're the only kid 125 00:05:17.639 --> 00:05:20.319 in school. I feel like that happened to me at 126 00:05:20.360 --> 00:05:21.839 one point. I don't know if it was a bad 127 00:05:22.000 --> 00:05:25.279 snow day and maybe it was kindergarten and no other 128 00:05:25.360 --> 00:05:27.000 kids showed up, so I think it was the only 129 00:05:27.079 --> 00:05:30.160 one in class. Good dang, and we just like colored 130 00:05:30.199 --> 00:05:32.680 and did fingerpaint or something all day. 131 00:05:32.839 --> 00:05:33.160 Yeah. 132 00:05:33.480 --> 00:05:35.040 Yeah, one of those my senior year. 133 00:05:35.079 --> 00:05:37.279 It was a snow day that was or it was 134 00:05:37.319 --> 00:05:40.040 like so cold it was like polar ice vortex or something, 135 00:05:40.079 --> 00:05:44.319 and they said school was not mandatory, it was optional, 136 00:05:44.720 --> 00:05:47.000 and so of course everyone's like, well, I'm making an 137 00:05:47.040 --> 00:05:49.279 option to not come to school today, and I. 138 00:05:49.279 --> 00:05:51.360 Was like, well, I gotta go to school, So I. 139 00:05:51.279 --> 00:05:53.120 Wore like three pairs of pants because it was so 140 00:05:53.199 --> 00:05:55.480 freaking cold. And I went to school and I was 141 00:05:55.519 --> 00:05:57.519 like one of I don't know a handful of kids 142 00:05:57.519 --> 00:05:58.040 at school. 143 00:05:58.240 --> 00:05:58.879 It was great. 144 00:05:59.000 --> 00:06:01.040 I think probably in minnesot To most people have a 145 00:06:01.079 --> 00:06:03.439 story about like some sort of extreme weather from the 146 00:06:03.480 --> 00:06:06.680 Halloween blizzard or something. I remember in Colorado one time, 147 00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:09.680 I was in about third grade, they called off school early. 148 00:06:09.720 --> 00:06:11.959 It was Halloween. They sent everybody home, and the governor 149 00:06:12.000 --> 00:06:14.560 canceled trick or treating. They said, no, trick or treating 150 00:06:14.600 --> 00:06:17.600 is too dangerous. I'm like, fuck that, I'm going trick 151 00:06:17.680 --> 00:06:20.120 or treating. So I had snow up to my waist 152 00:06:20.120 --> 00:06:23.839 at least, and I crossed the street to trick or 153 00:06:23.920 --> 00:06:27.160 treat and the neighbors scolded me and they said, trick 154 00:06:27.240 --> 00:06:31.079 or treating's been canceled. And I think back, my mom 155 00:06:31.079 --> 00:06:32.800 and dad must have let me get out of the 156 00:06:32.800 --> 00:06:35.879 house in three feet of snow to go trick or treating. 157 00:06:36.240 --> 00:06:40.879 They either didn't know or they didn't care. I could 158 00:06:40.920 --> 00:06:41.839 have died out there. 159 00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:43.639 You could have died yourself. 160 00:06:45.000 --> 00:06:48.279 Third grade, Oh yeah, we used to get ourselves in 161 00:06:48.399 --> 00:06:49.279 third grade. 162 00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:52.199 Eight well, we lived in a safe neighborhood. 163 00:06:52.279 --> 00:06:54.000 I know, but I don't know. I feel like my 164 00:06:54.079 --> 00:06:57.040 parents went with me trick or treating everywhere until you 165 00:06:57.040 --> 00:06:58.240 were just too old to trick or treat. 166 00:06:58.319 --> 00:06:59.160 Oh really yeah? 167 00:06:59.319 --> 00:06:59.439 Oh. 168 00:06:59.839 --> 00:07:02.560 I remember the first time Carson went trigger treating by himself, 169 00:07:02.560 --> 00:07:04.360 he was probably in about third grade. He went with 170 00:07:04.360 --> 00:07:07.079 his friend Tyson, and up until that point I always 171 00:07:07.120 --> 00:07:08.839 went with him. It was a whole lot of fun. 172 00:07:09.360 --> 00:07:12.879 And so him and Tyson go out by themselves and 173 00:07:13.439 --> 00:07:17.040 they don't come back, and they don't come back, and 174 00:07:17.120 --> 00:07:20.360 now it's like they should have been back. And it 175 00:07:20.439 --> 00:07:23.399 was the point where even the high school kids were 176 00:07:23.560 --> 00:07:27.120 done trigger treating, and so we're like panicking. We're like, 177 00:07:27.120 --> 00:07:29.879 oh my god. So Sue, I get in the car. 178 00:07:30.240 --> 00:07:34.199 I'm driving around. All the trigger treaters are home, no 179 00:07:34.319 --> 00:07:37.199 sign of Carson or Tyson, and I thought, this is 180 00:07:37.240 --> 00:07:39.680 oh my god, it's terrible. It's terrible. And I would 181 00:07:39.720 --> 00:07:42.160 call the house. Did they show up, No, have you 182 00:07:42.240 --> 00:07:42.920 found him yet? 183 00:07:43.040 --> 00:07:43.120 No? 184 00:07:44.279 --> 00:07:47.839 And we finally found them coming up. They went down 185 00:07:48.040 --> 00:07:51.199 one long street and then came up the other side 186 00:07:51.240 --> 00:07:53.839 of the street, just having the time of their lives 187 00:07:53.959 --> 00:07:58.839 with a pillowcase full of candy and boy, you talk 188 00:07:58.839 --> 00:08:01.079 about panic because you think they could have been abducted 189 00:08:01.560 --> 00:08:03.319 a couple of eight year olds out trick or treating. 190 00:08:03.560 --> 00:08:05.720 But it goes back to what I've always told parents. 191 00:08:06.079 --> 00:08:10.680 You will lose track of your kid several times during 192 00:08:10.680 --> 00:08:14.399 their childhood. I promise you you'll find them. You'll lose 193 00:08:14.439 --> 00:08:17.079 them at the fair, you'll lose them at the apple farm, 194 00:08:17.360 --> 00:08:20.399 you'll lose them at them all. You will find them. 195 00:08:21.199 --> 00:08:23.079 The time from when you realize they're loss so you 196 00:08:23.120 --> 00:08:25.720 find them will be the longest eight minutes of your life, 197 00:08:25.839 --> 00:08:29.360 and you will think of every bad possible thing, but 198 00:08:29.639 --> 00:08:31.120 rest assured you will find them. 199 00:08:31.199 --> 00:08:33.240 And they weren't even thinking about being lost. They were 200 00:08:33.279 --> 00:08:35.879 just like, we're having a great I'm a power. 201 00:08:35.799 --> 00:08:39.519 Ranger, right, don't say a name. I couldn't decide if 202 00:08:39.559 --> 00:08:40.960 I wanted to write him, and I'm laying in bed 203 00:08:41.000 --> 00:08:43.080 decided I felt like I should, even though I'm sure 204 00:08:43.120 --> 00:08:45.480 you have tons of responses or many people like me 205 00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:48.639 who are debating, and some of these people decided not to, Well, 206 00:08:48.639 --> 00:08:51.000 what are they talking about? Of course, everybody is entitled 207 00:08:51.039 --> 00:08:54.440 to their own opinion on what is attractive. I do 208 00:08:54.480 --> 00:08:56.639 think it's okay to worry about a partner, want them 209 00:08:56.639 --> 00:08:58.919 to be healthy so they can live a long lifetime 210 00:08:59.240 --> 00:09:01.519 and you can spend quality years together. But Bailey had 211 00:09:01.519 --> 00:09:04.360 a great point. Many body types and shapes are healthy. 212 00:09:04.399 --> 00:09:06.320 It can be hard to look at somebody overweight and 213 00:09:06.399 --> 00:09:08.720 think they're healthy. A lot of times they might not be, 214 00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:10.720 but they can have a clean bill of health, while 215 00:09:10.720 --> 00:09:14.399 a person who is not considered overweight could have worse health. 216 00:09:14.720 --> 00:09:17.840 For example, maybe they have high blood pressure, cancer, bad cholesterol, 217 00:09:17.840 --> 00:09:20.960 et cetera. I appreciated Bailey's point of view because I 218 00:09:20.960 --> 00:09:24.399 do think love shouldn't be based on appearance, and I 219 00:09:24.440 --> 00:09:27.759 think that's really shallow if it does. Yes, I understand 220 00:09:27.840 --> 00:09:30.720 weight can affect physical health not always, and can affect 221 00:09:30.759 --> 00:09:32.960 activity level. But again, I do not want to pretend 222 00:09:33.000 --> 00:09:35.399 like I know all of your backstories with weight loss, 223 00:09:35.679 --> 00:09:39.000 but let me share some of mine. By the way, 224 00:09:39.159 --> 00:09:41.240 a pet peeve of mine or weight loss coaches who 225 00:09:41.240 --> 00:09:43.399 say I am a pro at helping you lose tons 226 00:09:43.399 --> 00:09:46.039 of weight and they've never had to lose substantial amount 227 00:09:46.039 --> 00:09:48.919 of weights themselves, They've always been skinny. I think that's 228 00:09:48.919 --> 00:09:51.559 a funny thing about Instagram influencers who are like, here's 229 00:09:51.600 --> 00:09:52.840 how I got shredded. 230 00:09:52.919 --> 00:09:53.279 Mmmm. 231 00:09:54.519 --> 00:09:55.960 They were genetically. 232 00:09:55.639 --> 00:09:57.919 Gifted that way to be shredded. 233 00:09:59.120 --> 00:10:01.080 I'm in my late twent In college, I gained some 234 00:10:01.159 --> 00:10:05.320 weight the freshman fifteen no more like the freshman thirty. 235 00:10:06.200 --> 00:10:09.120 By the time I graduated college, I was probably one 236 00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:13.039 hundred pounds over weight. Stress was a huge factor. I 237 00:10:13.039 --> 00:10:15.320 didn't realize it at the time, and I was very active. 238 00:10:15.320 --> 00:10:18.159 I played recreational sports three times a week. I worked out. 239 00:10:18.559 --> 00:10:20.960 My first year out of college twenty nineteen, my partner 240 00:10:20.960 --> 00:10:22.279 and I had been together for a year and a 241 00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:24.639 half of this point, decided to make some changes. We 242 00:10:24.759 --> 00:10:28.840 lost fifty pounds each WOW in about seven months and 243 00:10:28.919 --> 00:10:31.360 kept it off until the pandemic hit. Then we probably 244 00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:35.120 gained it all back then double Now. It's easy to 245 00:10:35.159 --> 00:10:37.840 talk about binge eating, or being a couch potato or 246 00:10:37.919 --> 00:10:40.480 not taking care of yourself. But I was close to 247 00:10:40.559 --> 00:10:44.279 tears listening to your show yesterday. And I don't say 248 00:10:44.320 --> 00:10:46.240 that to make you feel bad, but I think Jenny 249 00:10:46.240 --> 00:10:48.759 and Dave were harsh in their quick opinions about weight 250 00:10:48.799 --> 00:10:52.120 gain and attractiveness. Maybe it wasn't your intentions, but it 251 00:10:52.159 --> 00:10:55.120 came off badly, And maybe it was your intentions too. 252 00:10:55.279 --> 00:10:57.559 I wanted to tell you that sometimes things like weight 253 00:10:57.600 --> 00:11:00.720 gain and obesity is more than just people letting themselves 254 00:11:00.799 --> 00:11:03.440 get fat. Trust me, no one wants to get fat. 255 00:11:04.080 --> 00:11:07.840 My personal struggles were mental health related, some depression, mostly anxiety. 256 00:11:08.240 --> 00:11:11.200 I don't just sit on the couch either. Yes, food 257 00:11:11.240 --> 00:11:14.559 was an anxiety coping mechanism, but I was still very active. 258 00:11:14.919 --> 00:11:18.200 Actually lived in Colorado, did a bunch of difficult trails. 259 00:11:18.200 --> 00:11:20.279 They were harder at the higher weight, but I did them. 260 00:11:20.720 --> 00:11:24.360 I even hiked fourteen miles in Glacier National Park that 261 00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:27.840 year and one day trip out and back. It's taking 262 00:11:27.879 --> 00:11:29.759 a lot of therapy, hard work, and I don't know 263 00:11:29.799 --> 00:11:31.600 what else. I'm still in a journey, but I've lost 264 00:11:31.639 --> 00:11:34.200 about seventy five pounds in the last ten months. I 265 00:11:34.240 --> 00:11:36.440 don't want to congratulations because I got a long way 266 00:11:36.480 --> 00:11:39.279 to go and this journey is lifelong, especially when my 267 00:11:39.320 --> 00:11:42.200 mental health is so integral to my physical health. But 268 00:11:42.279 --> 00:11:44.559 I hope you take that into consideration. I love you all, 269 00:11:44.600 --> 00:11:47.559 but honestly, Bailey was the only reason I didn't turn 270 00:11:47.600 --> 00:11:51.360 off your podcast today. I've never been upset or offended 271 00:11:51.360 --> 00:11:53.039 by anything you've ever said on the radio, but I 272 00:11:53.080 --> 00:11:54.919 felt like it was hard to hear and I'm not 273 00:11:54.960 --> 00:11:57.440 sure how this email will be perceived, but I had 274 00:11:57.440 --> 00:12:01.600 to share it. Your perception is I mean, that is perfect. 275 00:12:01.759 --> 00:12:03.840 That is what you get to do. Is you get 276 00:12:03.840 --> 00:12:06.559 to give us your input on the Minnesota Goodbye. Yeah, 277 00:12:06.600 --> 00:12:11.799 for sure, and that is your story. And I appreciate 278 00:12:11.840 --> 00:12:15.279 you taking time to write the longest goddamn email we've 279 00:12:15.279 --> 00:12:17.919 ever read on the Minnesota Goodbye, but I wanted to 280 00:12:17.919 --> 00:12:24.960 be fair and read the entire thing. Next one, let 281 00:12:25.039 --> 00:12:28.120 me preread it first. I'm gonna skip that one because 282 00:12:28.120 --> 00:12:30.639 they are a frequent staff writer, and honestly, I don't 283 00:12:30.720 --> 00:12:33.159 It wasn't like the most meaningful email, so I'm gonna 284 00:12:33.159 --> 00:12:36.960 skip that one. Hello. The other day I found a 285 00:12:37.000 --> 00:12:38.799 site that showed up that you had to a zume 286 00:12:38.919 --> 00:12:41.639 ukulele group. Are you still doing that?

I will only ever enjoy 306 00:13:30.080 --> 00:13:33.399 a hot dog or a brought with either nothing or 307 00:13:33.559 --> 00:13:38.879 ketchup to access the flavor.

I probably do Instagram, TikTok, 349 00:15:17.320 --> 00:15:22.519 and Google Maps comes with your phone, right, Yeah, it's 350 00:15:22.559 --> 00:15:25.759 like the only other one I like, really use a lot? Really, yeah, 351 00:15:25.799 --> 00:15:27.639 I don't. I don't use a lot of apps. 352 00:15:28.720 --> 00:15:33.720 I use Marco Polo, which is a free video messaging 353 00:15:33.799 --> 00:15:36.240 app that works just like text messages, but you send 354 00:15:37.159 --> 00:15:39.960 recorded videos and your friend can either watch them live 355 00:15:40.080 --> 00:15:42.840 or they can watch at their leisure. That's called Marco Polo. 356 00:15:42.879 --> 00:15:45.159 I love it. I use it all the time. Also, 357 00:15:45.320 --> 00:15:47.759 flight Radar twenty four to seven is an airplane app 358 00:15:47.759 --> 00:15:51.080 that lets you track any flight, private or commercial in 359 00:15:51.200 --> 00:15:54.679 the world. And I can't think of another one. 360 00:15:54.759 --> 00:15:59.879 Yeah, I would probably keep Instagram for sure, TikTok for sure. 361 00:16:00.519 --> 00:16:02.559 And then I use an app called Discord, which is 362 00:16:02.639 --> 00:16:05.399 kind of like a thing video game kids use, but 363 00:16:05.480 --> 00:16:08.399 I use it to connect with my speech and debate team, 364 00:16:08.480 --> 00:16:10.399 so it's like our main form of communication. 365 00:16:10.440 --> 00:16:12.879 It's kind of like a message board. So I discord 366 00:16:13.000 --> 00:16:15.840 as well. Yeah, that's what I did mine. 367 00:16:15.960 --> 00:16:17.639 Oh you did, Yeah, I did mine already. 368 00:16:17.759 --> 00:16:18.799 What day is it today? 369 00:16:19.039 --> 00:16:20.000 Yeah, you're doing great. 370 00:16:20.039 --> 00:16:21.600 But I did think of the other one because I 371 00:16:21.639 --> 00:16:24.440 said to only two main ones, probably Venmo. Oh yeah, 372 00:16:24.480 --> 00:16:26.159 but then I guess if other people are only getting 373 00:16:26.159 --> 00:16:28.159 three choices, maybe not everyone else is going to happen. 374 00:16:28.200 --> 00:16:29.360 But I think she's Venmo. 375 00:16:29.480 --> 00:16:31.480 I just think Venmo is like one of the best 376 00:16:31.519 --> 00:16:32.080 things ever. 377 00:16:32.960 --> 00:16:38.559 Next email says, don't same a name, so let's not okay, 378 00:16:39.559 --> 00:16:42.480 says I was totally disappointed and disgusted by the weight 379 00:16:42.600 --> 00:16:45.799 talk on the Minnesota Goodbye. What if there's a medical 380 00:16:45.799 --> 00:16:49.159 condition causing weight gain, Let's look at Sunny Lee. She 381 00:16:49.240 --> 00:16:52.159 gained forty pounds due to medical conditions and was able 382 00:16:52.200 --> 00:16:53.960 to come back and go to the Olympics. How flipping 383 00:16:54.000 --> 00:16:56.480 disappointing to say I wouldn't love my partner if they 384 00:16:56.600 --> 00:16:59.840 gained weight. You are assuming it is dude is sitting 385 00:16:59.840 --> 00:17:02.759 on the couch eating poorly. It could be due to health, 386 00:17:02.840 --> 00:17:06.920 physical or mental. The only person who made sense was Bailey, 387 00:17:07.000 --> 00:17:09.000 and you totally brushed her off. Sorry, guys, but not 388 00:17:09.079 --> 00:17:11.480 everybody is the Barbie body type you were making the ideal. 389 00:17:11.880 --> 00:17:13.880 Maybe don't talk about this anymore if you aren't willing 390 00:17:13.880 --> 00:17:18.839 to listen and hear other viewpoints. Still love the show. Okay, Well, 391 00:17:18.920 --> 00:17:21.759 I think there's a difference between a health weight gain 392 00:17:22.359 --> 00:17:25.480 and other weight gain. But here's what It's too divisive. 393 00:17:25.799 --> 00:17:30.240 So we're going to drop this topic unless I get 394 00:17:30.279 --> 00:17:33.960 emails that degree with me. Fair enough, If I get 395 00:17:33.960 --> 00:17:36.240 emails that agree with me, Dave, then I will read them. 396 00:17:36.359 --> 00:17:39.039 Well what well I was to say the two emails 397 00:17:39.039 --> 00:17:41.920 that we've had today on this podcast alone, I'm not 398 00:17:42.279 --> 00:17:44.160 gonna sit and say that, like I might be a 399 00:17:44.200 --> 00:17:46.640 little blinded by things, but like I did used to 400 00:17:46.720 --> 00:17:49.119 be a little bit more overweight, and I've gotten in shape, 401 00:17:49.160 --> 00:17:50.839
