Speaker 1: Let's get into the Minnesota Goodbye. We would definitely welcome
Speaker 1: your emails to Ryan's show at katiew beat on comments
Speaker 1: so funny because sometimes we get like twenty emails and
Speaker 1: sometimes we get maybe one. So today is you know,
Speaker 1: we got a couple, and we got our weekly feature
Speaker 1: from Juanita, who basically does a little stand up, a
Speaker 1: little life commentary. So let's see what she has to
Speaker 1: say today on the Minnesota Goodbye and to push the
Speaker 1: right tabs here and see if I can get this
Speaker 1: to work. And you know, so far right now, really
Speaker 1: no luck, but let me try this one. Okay, here
Speaker 1: we go. Here comes Jannita.
Speaker 2: So this rant is has to do with my kids teacher.
Speaker 2: So back when I went to school, eight so on
Speaker 2: and so forth. Simple nowadays, the way that they're doing
Speaker 2: math is you got two dogs going down one sixty
Speaker 2: nine at fifty five miles an hour, how many cookies
Speaker 2: do you get? Makes no fucking sense. So my son
Speaker 2: comes home with some math homework. He wanted me to
Speaker 2: help him with it. So I didn't understand the way
Speaker 2: that they were doing this shit. So I did it
Speaker 2: my own way, the old way, the way that I
Speaker 2: learned it. He got the right answer, He showed his work,
Speaker 2: he took it to school. The teacher turns around and
Speaker 2: sends me an email and says, you can't show him
Speaker 2: the way that you learn math.
Speaker 3: You have to do it our way.
Speaker 2: Are you kidding me? I don't even know what the
Speaker 2: fuck that is. I don't understand it. If you want,
Speaker 2: you could bring me to school so you could teach
Speaker 2: me how this shit works. Why did they have to
Speaker 2: change the math? What was wrong with it the way
Speaker 2: that it was? I don't understand what's going on? And
Speaker 2: what difference does it make how he does it as
Speaker 2: long as the answer is right, he shows his work.
Speaker 2: Just another thing that pisses me off. Love you guys. Bye.
Speaker 3: Well that is some bullshit, is what that is?
Speaker 4: I mean I feel the same way. How am I
Speaker 4: supposed to know how they learn it? Now?
Speaker 3: Well? Is there?
Speaker 1: I mean they you here once in a while they
Speaker 1: drop in the word new math? Is there? Is there
Speaker 1: literally a new math? I mean, if I were to
Speaker 1: help you know, like I don't know, a fifth grader, yeah,
Speaker 1: or seventh grader with their homework? Is there a new
Speaker 1: way to do algebra?
Speaker 5: I have no idea.
Speaker 4: I think there's I think there's like apparently like a
Speaker 4: new way to do like simple math kind of things,
Speaker 4: like you know, edition, subtraction, multiplication, division that's easier or
Speaker 4: different or something. But I feel like calculus and whatever
Speaker 4: is never going to change. But I don't know.
Speaker 5: There is a new way. It's called chat chept.
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, good, all right, I'll just put.
Speaker 5: Your problem into that and you get a solution.
Speaker 3: That you know.
Speaker 1: It's so funny because I saw a meme or something
Speaker 1: a couple of months ago that said, remember when you
Speaker 1: were in school and your teacher said, you've got to
Speaker 1: learn how to do math problems on paper because you're
Speaker 1: not going to carry a calculator around with you when
Speaker 1: you're an adult. Yes, and sure as shit, we carry
Speaker 1: a calculator with us everywhere we go.
Speaker 4: I only use a little bit of math, and that's
Speaker 4: to calculate tip. That's it.
Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, I don't usually don't. I don't ever find
Speaker 1: a need to do math. I mean once in a
Speaker 1: while when I'm cooking and it's like, okay, you know,
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know, like, you know, maybe all
Speaker 1: my cups are in the dishwasher, so I get to
Speaker 1: figure out how many quarter cups make you know, two
Speaker 1: and a half cups or something.
Speaker 3: Like it, something stupid like that. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Easy, but I mean simple math I can do in
Speaker 1: my head. As far as tips. Somebody once said, look
Speaker 1: at the tax and double the tax. Now I think
Speaker 1: that gives you a lower tip.
Speaker 3: So in other words, round up, get.
Speaker 5: The total, and double the total and then.
Speaker 3: Double the total.
Speaker 6: No, well you double the total and then you take
Speaker 6: away two decimal points.
Speaker 4: Well we do it all differently.
Speaker 1: Okay, Well let's see how that would work. So let's
Speaker 1: say the total is one hundred, you double it now
Speaker 1: it's two hundred, and you take away two decimal points.
Speaker 1: You're at twenty dollars. Yes, and that's a twenty percent tip.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Oh, I just always try to figure twenty percent.
Speaker 4: I just moved the decimal over and then.
Speaker 5: Double that, which works too.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: It's just kind of the same thing.
Speaker 6: Yeaing comput it easy, like I would take one hundred
Speaker 6: and see and take it like, just take one zero
Speaker 6: away from it in times by two.
Speaker 3: Okay, you know.
Speaker 1: What, at least you're tipping generously. It's kind of funny
Speaker 1: because I think tips a twenty percent tip. I think
Speaker 1: now is pretty standard, whereas maybe a generation to go
Speaker 1: it was a very generous tip. And when I was
Speaker 1: probably growing up, a ten percent tip was just fine. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, ten percent now would be like, it's kind
Speaker 1: of a cheap tip. You know, it's still a tip.
Speaker 4: It's better than nothing, and that's I love it for servers.
Speaker 6: Okay, it's not better than nothing. Ten percent is very cheap.
Speaker 1: Well, it's better than nothing technically, Jenny, because nothing.
Speaker 5: Is zero standards.
Speaker 6: I'm going to speak up for servers because I was
Speaker 6: one for way too many.
Speaker 1: Laziest bunch of people I have ever met, per servers, laziest
Speaker 1: bunch of slow walk and slackers.
Speaker 6: I had a fit bit back when I was a
Speaker 6: server because I'm so curious I worked so many twelve
Speaker 6: fourteen hour doubles, how many steps I used to take
Speaker 6: on those shifts because that was my life for like
Speaker 6: six years.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I'm sure. By the way, I'm kidding about
Speaker 1: slackers and servers. I was trying to get a rise
Speaker 1: out of you, and these two are so used to
Speaker 1: my bullshit they just ignored me, just ignored me. If
Speaker 1: you would have had a fit bit and counted your
Speaker 1: steps and calories back then, you would have probably gotten
Speaker 1: twenty thousand steps a day. Oh absolutely, yeah. The standard
Speaker 1: that I think most people shoot for is twenty thousands.
Speaker 3: Do you have a fit.
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Tenous.
Speaker 4: I don't have a fitbit, but my phone tracks how
Speaker 4: many steps I get. So that's my fipbit.
Speaker 5: But only on your walks, right, okay?
Speaker 4: So not like fully through Oh no, like if I'm
Speaker 4: carrying my phone at tracks my steps.
Speaker 1: Okay, So well, let's look right now, how many steps
Speaker 1: have we all got?
Speaker 3: I will look on my phone.
Speaker 1: My steps right now are nine hundred and fourteen steps.
Speaker 5: Wow, that's not good. Twenty that's the same.
Speaker 4: I'm at five hundred steps. I haven't walked nearly as
Speaker 4: much as all wamp wamp.
Speaker 1: All right, move on to the next one. Let's see
Speaker 1: what we got here. This might come off as weird,
Speaker 1: but I wanted to let Bailey know I'm very happy
Speaker 1: that she has joined the show weird at all. Listening
Speaker 1: every day, I feel like she's one of my best friends.
Speaker 1: I'm also nerdy, tattooed, and goofy. I'm also a festie,
Speaker 1: but I'm always there on Saturday, not Sunday, so I
Speaker 1: haven't been able to come meet you and give you
Speaker 1: a hug. We do have some mutual friends though, so
Speaker 1: because I won't see you before the run is over,
Speaker 1: I just want to give you a virtual hug and
Speaker 1: let you know that you really are amazing. Sorry if
Speaker 1: I sound like a crazed fan, but I just want
Speaker 1: to let you know you're welcomed to the morning show, Kristin.
Speaker 4: Thanks, Kristen. Well, I want to know who our mutual
Speaker 4: friends are.
Speaker 1: She's a picture of herself. Oh dang, Okay, now I'm
Speaker 1: going to describe this picture.
Speaker 4: Look at her.
Speaker 1: Well, I honestly thought that I don't have any idea
Speaker 1: what she looked like. But she is dressed in a
Speaker 1: I don't want to sound like, you know, like a
Speaker 1: hor horn dog, but she is dressed in a revealing
Speaker 1: belly bearing bikini ish princessy kind of thing.
Speaker 4: She's got Well, yeah, her middrift is showing, but she
Speaker 4: it's like a belly dancer costume, but it's like red
Speaker 4: and green. She's got like a huge headdress on, and
Speaker 4: she looks badass, looks so cool.
Speaker 3: Well that's what I was gonna say, is she's hot. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I can't say that.
Speaker 4: Maybe recognizing Kristin, but I'm not sure. I wonder who
Speaker 4: our mutual friends are.
Speaker 1: Well, maybe she'll write and tell you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, thank you Kristin.
Speaker 1: H that's say what got here, Bailey. Sorry, I mister
Speaker 1: birthday parties from Sharise. My birthday was yesterday on the
Speaker 1: twenty third, and my daughter tried to send a text
Speaker 1: to wish me happy birthday. But I know the messages
Speaker 1: weren't working. That was I think on Monday. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: because messages weren't working. I need some advice. Sadly, I
Speaker 1: was fired last week coincidentally, on the same day as
Speaker 1: you guys were doing fake fired. I still found it funny.
Speaker 1: So the advice I need now is how to explain
Speaker 1: to a prospective employer why you were fired. I wasn't
Speaker 1: let go to do to attendance or insubordination. I was
Speaker 1: let go due to me not being fully trained in
Speaker 1: a new process and I made a mistake. It wasn't
Speaker 1: anything big that caused the company any sort of loss. Anyway,
Speaker 1: I've never been fired and now I have this job
Speaker 1: on my resume, So any advice on how to spend
Speaker 1: this in a good light during an interview would be
Speaker 1: greatly appreciated. I was at my previous job three years,
Speaker 1: so I can't leave that out of my experience. Thank you.
Speaker 1: I really value your advice. I have nothing for you, Sharrace,
Speaker 1: but I'm going to say that there absolutely is a
Speaker 1: way to dance around that on your resume and during
Speaker 1: an interview. I just don't know what it is. I've
Speaker 1: read it before, but I don't know what it is.
Speaker 1: And I think if you have a string of getting fired,
Speaker 1: like a friend of mine would get fired every eighteen
Speaker 1: months they worked in radio, they would get fired every
Speaker 1: eighteen months, and then eventually people wouldn't hire them because
Speaker 1: they would look on their resume and see, oh, you've
Speaker 1: never worked anywhere more than eighteen months. But I if
Speaker 1: you're there three years and you get a good track record,
Speaker 1: there's got to be a way somebody will text in
Speaker 1: or message us or email and let us know.
Speaker 5: We have a lot of.
Speaker 6: People who work in HR. That was of the show,
Speaker 6: so maybe somebody that works in HR can help us.
Speaker 4: I would just say it was like not a good fit,
Speaker 4: all right.
Speaker 1: Continuing on, Remember a couple of weeks ago, or a
Speaker 1: week or so ago, a guy wrote in said he
Speaker 1: lost his dog like their dog had died and just
Speaker 1: wanted some advice on how to handle it. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: I said, hey, you know what, maybe people have some ideas.
Speaker 1: And this is from mary Anne. Mary Anne says, hello,
Speaker 1: what's your bestie, Marianne. This is for Steve who lost
Speaker 1: his doggie. We also lost our buddy Boo, twelve and
Speaker 1: a half year old golden doodle on August third. She
Speaker 1: died in my arms at our house. Worst motherfucking day ever.
Speaker 1: Our other dog, Smuckers, I love that name, nine and
Speaker 1: a half years old, also a golden doodle, was here
Speaker 1: to witness, and she understood what happened. Boo is buried
Speaker 1: in our backyard. Now, me and my husband cried and
Speaker 1: drank for two weeks straight.
Speaker 3: Awful.
Speaker 1: He's never been through this, but I have many times.
Speaker 1: My advice to Steve is to get a rescue, maybe
Speaker 1: a bit older, so you're not constantly going to play
Speaker 1: musical chairs, like Bailey said, what does that mean like
Speaker 1: chasing him outside or taking him outside?
Speaker 6: Or you've said that about like I thought your parents'
Speaker 6: dogs musical chairs about like getting a.
Speaker 4: Dog, Oh, getting a dog? And then yeah, so we
Speaker 4: would we have two dogs at any given time, so
Speaker 4: that one dog would die, we'd get another dog. Then
Speaker 4: the first dog would die, and then we'd get another dog.
Speaker 1: I looked at our ring camera to see what Smuckers
Speaker 1: was doing while we were at work. After Boo passed,
Speaker 1: I wish I never looked. She sat in the middle
Speaker 1: of the house and cried and howled and let out
Speaker 1: sounds that I never heard her make before. It was
Speaker 1: gut wrenching. I'd drive a truck for work, and so
Speaker 1: I got a dog car seat and she comes with
Speaker 1: me every day. Unfortunately, I am forced to share my lunch.
Speaker 1: Now that's cute. I already promised my daughter that it
Speaker 1: would take care of our dog, as she's planning on
Speaker 1: going to the end of the Air Force. Otherwise I'd
Speaker 1: already be on the hunt for another friend for Smuckers.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure how to send videos attached to the
Speaker 1: email because I'm old and I can't figure out fucking anything.
Speaker 1: But I'll send pictures of happy Smuckers and sad ring
Speaker 1: videos of Boo. They weren't attached. But oh wait, hold on, okay, yep, okay,
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna look really quick here.
Speaker 4: I'll be too sad to watch the ring camera video though.
Speaker 4: I don't want to see a dog beside.
Speaker 3: I gotcha.
Speaker 1: Let me see if I can play this here and
Speaker 1: maybe it'll come through. Oh so, literally, he is standing
Speaker 1: near the kitchen and he gets up and he just
Speaker 1: stands in one spot and he just howls. I never
Speaker 1: really realize that dogs are aware that another dog has
Speaker 1: They don't know what death is, they know what gone is,
Speaker 1: they know what absent is. I never really understood or
Speaker 1: never realized that a dog could mourn, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean.
Speaker 4: I think it depends on the dog too, because I've
Speaker 4: had dogs that like just don't give a shit at all.
Speaker 4: They're like, oh, yeah, Astro's dead, don't care. But then
Speaker 4: I have dogs that are like clearly sad, like super
Speaker 4: sad that their partner's gone.
Speaker 1: You know what's funny is that we got the cat
Speaker 1: Roger and Josie, my dog, and they don't really pay
Speaker 1: much attention to each other at all. It's funny. Once
Speaker 1: in a while, Roger will swipe at Josie, like Josie
Speaker 1: will walk by and Roger will swipe at him, and
Speaker 1: it's kind of funny. But they kind of ignore each other.
Speaker 1: But Josie sleeps in a kennel, and on top of
Speaker 1: the kennel is Roger's cat bed, And so a lot
Speaker 1: of the time I'll come home and Josie's always in
Speaker 1: her kennel when I'm gone, and Roger will be in
Speaker 1: his cat bed on top like bunk beds. And I
Speaker 1: think they kind of like to be with each other,
Speaker 1: even though they're not buddies. They don't sleep on top
Speaker 1: of each other, they don't play, but I think that
Speaker 1: somehow they do enjoy another creature.
Speaker 4: They're like comforted by each other's instin.
Speaker 5: That's cute, I think.
Speaker 1: So anyway, thank you Marianne for that email. Next one
Speaker 1: and see if there's more here. We're kind of running
Speaker 1: a little bit low.
Speaker 3: Yep. That's it. That is it.
Speaker 1: I think I've got to all of the emails, honestly,
Speaker 1: So we are going to wrap it up on the
Speaker 1: Minnesota Goodbye. If you got one, please send it to
Speaker 1: ryanshow at KDWB dot com. If you want a staff
Speaker 1: writer sticker, we'll have a secretary Brie send went out
Speaker 1: to you. Make sure you include your last name and
Speaker 1: your address. And I think that's it. There was something
Speaker 1: else I was going to say. But I'll be damned
Speaker 1: if I remember what it was, so I will see
Speaker 1: you too. Oh, I know what it was. It was
Speaker 1: that if you sent in an email and we didn't
Speaker 1: read it, and you've been listening faithfully to the podcast,
Speaker 1: you didn't hear it. It could be that I accidentally
Speaker 1: deleted it. It could be that it was something that
Speaker 1: we covered many times, like construction workers and why they
Speaker 1: stand around while like you know, like ten people are
Speaker 1: standing around and one person is driving the back home.
Speaker 1: So there's some things that we've already talked a lot about.
Speaker 1: But if you got a new idea, we would love
Speaker 1: to hear it, send it into Ryan's show KDWB dot
Speaker 1: com on the Minnesota Goodbye
