WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.400 --> 00:00:02.720 It's so funny when we start to Minnesota Goodbye. This 2 00:00:02.759 --> 00:00:05.160 is not a knock on Jenny. She's always got to 3 00:00:05.160 --> 00:00:07.440 go to the bathroom, so she always runs out and 4 00:00:07.480 --> 00:00:08.960 she's like, I got to go to the bathroom. You 5 00:00:09.000 --> 00:00:13.560 and Bailey get started, So let's get started. Remember yesterday 6 00:00:13.560 --> 00:00:16.399 we had some technical problems with our equipment and it's 7 00:00:16.440 --> 00:00:18.960 a digital recorder and it just ran out a room, 8 00:00:19.079 --> 00:00:20.839 or it just stopped on its own, and then we 9 00:00:21.120 --> 00:00:23.600 started up again, and then it stopped on its own again. 10 00:00:23.679 --> 00:00:24.640 Are you looking at away for them? 11 00:00:25.120 --> 00:00:27.199 Let me look at the waveform and yeah, there is 12 00:00:27.199 --> 00:00:30.440 a wave form right now. It's a good sign. Morning 13 00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:32.840 Show Squad, don't say my name. I wanted to add 14 00:00:32.880 --> 00:00:37.679 another listeners, insightful thoughts, Oh to the other listeners, insightful 15 00:00:37.719 --> 00:00:42.000 thoughts on our greatest purpose as humans, discovery and legacy. 16 00:00:42.399 --> 00:00:46.320 He defined legacy as procreation and discovery is exploration, growing 17 00:00:46.359 --> 00:00:50.280 ourselves and creating joy. Like Jenny, I'm in my thirties, 18 00:00:50.359 --> 00:00:52.880 I've been on the fence about having kids. While my 19 00:00:53.039 --> 00:00:56.399 upbringing suggested having kids is the default route, I spent 20 00:00:56.439 --> 00:00:58.600 a lot of my twenties envisioning what life could be 21 00:00:58.679 --> 00:01:02.320 without kids. And but I had imagined wasn't that bad? However, 22 00:01:03.039 --> 00:01:06.400 all of that change when my niece was born. As 23 00:01:06.439 --> 00:01:08.799 the other listener noted, one of the greatest joys in 24 00:01:08.840 --> 00:01:11.719 life is discovery. But what happens when you're thirty. Your 25 00:01:11.799 --> 00:01:14.079 back hurts, your hangovers last a lifetime, and you don't 26 00:01:14.079 --> 00:01:16.840 even drink. You just had pizza hut, and your years 27 00:01:16.879 --> 00:01:20.280 of discovering earth have been made less inquisitive, less imaginative, 28 00:01:20.599 --> 00:01:23.480 and less excited about the simple things. Remember when Halloween 29 00:01:23.599 --> 00:01:26.480 was fun? What about Christmas or New Year's? Remember when 30 00:01:26.480 --> 00:01:29.760 your first thought was seeing a big snowfall, was sledding 31 00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:32.519 or a snowball fight? And now it's dreadful? How it's 32 00:01:32.519 --> 00:01:35.560 going to make your commute to the office. My wife 33 00:01:35.599 --> 00:01:37.560 and I are now expecting our first child, but it 34 00:01:37.599 --> 00:01:41.519 isn't the legacy that I'm most excited about. It's discovery, Well, 35 00:01:41.719 --> 00:01:45.359 discovery for the kid and a rediscovery for me as 36 00:01:45.400 --> 00:01:47.519 I get to watch my child experience the world for 37 00:01:47.560 --> 00:01:51.120 the first time and bring that childish excitement and imagination 38 00:01:51.359 --> 00:01:57.159 back to things like Halloween, Christmas, New Year's, amusement parks, 39 00:01:57.239 --> 00:02:02.079 the zoo, bowling, etc. Seriously, what grown ass person likes 40 00:02:02.120 --> 00:02:06.719 to bowl anymore hashtag make Bowling fun Again. I love 41 00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:10.680 your email, and I think that's true. I think that 42 00:02:10.840 --> 00:02:12.599 you say you're in your thirties now, to me, that's 43 00:02:12.680 --> 00:02:17.159 awfully young to be being burnout on things because I 44 00:02:17.199 --> 00:02:20.319 think I've kept my I fucking love Christmas. And when 45 00:02:20.319 --> 00:02:24.080 my birthday is getting closer and Christmas is getting closer, yeah, 46 00:02:24.120 --> 00:02:27.800 I'm excited, right, yeah, because everything about it. I like 47 00:02:27.879 --> 00:02:31.800 Christmas in season. I don't like Christmas like shops in July. 48 00:02:32.439 --> 00:02:34.319 I don't like go to a mall and go to 49 00:02:34.360 --> 00:02:37.800 the Christmas in July store. But when it's December and 50 00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:41.199 you got the tree up and there's like rudolph Is 51 00:02:41.240 --> 00:02:43.000 on TV and I get to go to the mall 52 00:02:43.039 --> 00:02:45.719 and go shopping. I love Christmas. I love my birthday. 53 00:02:46.199 --> 00:02:47.560 What are you going to get for me? What are 54 00:02:47.560 --> 00:02:49.479 we going to have for dinner on my birthday? 55 00:02:50.240 --> 00:02:53.639 I feel like it's the magic of those holidays and 56 00:02:53.719 --> 00:02:56.080 kind of what this listener is saying that, like they 57 00:02:56.319 --> 00:02:59.240 don't have that same joy of discovery that children do. 58 00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:01.719 I think it's hard, but you can kind. 59 00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:06.159 Of push yourself to see magic in regular situations, like 60 00:03:06.520 --> 00:03:10.159 I mean Christmas isn't necessarily regular, but like I try 61 00:03:10.319 --> 00:03:14.360 and push myself to find magic in everyday delights, like 62 00:03:14.439 --> 00:03:16.719 riding the giant slide for the first time at the fair, 63 00:03:16.879 --> 00:03:19.199 Like that's something that you could be like, well, kids 64 00:03:19.240 --> 00:03:21.240 would do it now, but I'm an adult, so I 65 00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:22.599 can't have fun anymore. 66 00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:24.439 You can know you can. 67 00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:26.639 I will say I get it to a degree. It's like, 68 00:03:26.680 --> 00:03:29.919 you know what, it's not new anymore, but I still 69 00:03:29.919 --> 00:03:31.520 think you got to go find. And I think that's 70 00:03:31.520 --> 00:03:33.560 one of the things that I've kind of like reflected 71 00:03:33.599 --> 00:03:37.080 back on previous episodes. I still want to go find 72 00:03:37.080 --> 00:03:41.240 and try to do new things, and Susan sometimes does 73 00:03:41.400 --> 00:03:44.520 really not want to do new things. And somebody said 74 00:03:44.520 --> 00:03:47.360 that I can justify that because Susan spent her twenties 75 00:03:47.400 --> 00:03:51.360 and thirties and forties taking care of the kids, making 76 00:03:51.400 --> 00:03:53.719 doctor's appointments, so now she wants to relax. And I 77 00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:57.280 never really thought about framing it that way. Yeah, but 78 00:03:57.319 --> 00:03:59.800 I'm going to only tell you if you are thirty 79 00:03:59.879 --> 00:04:02.639 or thirty five and think you're old as balls, you 80 00:04:02.800 --> 00:04:06.560 don't know how young you are. And I know that 81 00:04:06.639 --> 00:04:09.120 sounds really hard to believe, but coming from somebody I 82 00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:11.280 remember sitting at the Timberwolves game one time. I was 83 00:04:11.319 --> 00:04:14.520 about thirty five years old, and I was looking around, going, yeah, 84 00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:17.319 those women look old. God they're my age. And I 85 00:04:17.360 --> 00:04:18.839 was like thirty five and I was looking at some 86 00:04:18.920 --> 00:04:21.279 women and some guys and going, yeah, they look old, 87 00:04:21.319 --> 00:04:23.959 God they're my age. Do I look that like that? 88 00:04:24.720 --> 00:04:26.399 And now I look at a thirty five year old 89 00:04:26.519 --> 00:04:30.079 is like not barely out of high school, but you're 90 00:04:30.360 --> 00:04:33.720 so young and you don't know it. So do not 91 00:04:33.920 --> 00:04:37.920 allow yourself, at thirty five years old to settle into 92 00:04:38.839 --> 00:04:42.279 a life of well, I'm old. I might as well 93 00:04:42.360 --> 00:04:45.199 not try to learn new things, or go new places 94 00:04:45.319 --> 00:04:51.319 or try new things because you are so young. I 95 00:04:51.360 --> 00:04:53.399 still think of myself at my age is like definitely 96 00:04:53.439 --> 00:04:57.160 young enough to go do things. Like I told Jenny earlier, 97 00:04:57.160 --> 00:04:58.680 I said, what do I want to do this weekend? 98 00:04:58.720 --> 00:05:01.879 It's a holiday weekend, long weekend. I don't want to 99 00:05:01.959 --> 00:05:03.560 just sit. I don't want to go to the fair 100 00:05:03.639 --> 00:05:05.839 all three days. I said, I'm going to join a 101 00:05:05.839 --> 00:05:09.600 swingers club. And then Jenny started to critique my idea. 102 00:05:10.160 --> 00:05:12.839 Well, I said, okay, maybe Bailey asked that Susan would 103 00:05:12.839 --> 00:05:14.879 be into it. You said, probably not nice. So I 104 00:05:14.959 --> 00:05:18.399 also mentioned, you know, I'm sure a lot of clubs 105 00:05:18.439 --> 00:05:21.439 have age caps where you know, you have to be 106 00:05:21.519 --> 00:05:25.120 a certain age to be into the swingers club. But 107 00:05:25.319 --> 00:05:29.040 I'm sure there's also like older swingers clubs you could 108 00:05:29.079 --> 00:05:29.319 go to. 109 00:05:29.399 --> 00:05:30.319 You know, let me know if you know of an 110 00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:33.040 older swingers club. And I'll never be able to talk 111 00:05:33.079 --> 00:05:36.639 Susan into going, but she'd be very popular at the 112 00:05:36.639 --> 00:05:38.439 swingers club because she's still attracted. 113 00:05:38.600 --> 00:05:40.480 Sure, but you're semi cute. 114 00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:43.519 Ah, that's the nicest thing you've ever said to me. 115 00:05:43.920 --> 00:05:45.040 I'm semi cute. 116 00:05:45.199 --> 00:05:47.759 I mean you're not ugly. Okay, you just have to 117 00:05:47.759 --> 00:05:49.480 make sure your hair is did before you go. 118 00:05:49.639 --> 00:05:50.279 My hairs did. 119 00:05:50.360 --> 00:05:51.759 Yeah, you got to get your head. You've got to 120 00:05:51.759 --> 00:05:52.639 get to go to Great. 121 00:05:52.480 --> 00:05:54.839 Clips later today. Perfect, that's where I wore a hat 122 00:05:54.839 --> 00:05:56.079 today because my hair looks like this. 123 00:05:56.199 --> 00:05:56.920 Yeah, it looks rough. 124 00:05:57.000 --> 00:05:57.639 Yeah. 125 00:05:57.879 --> 00:05:59.839 I want to know if this is what you're doing 126 00:05:59.839 --> 00:06:02.800 on your long weekend. This whole swinger thing is there? 127 00:06:02.959 --> 00:06:05.120 Do they have events every day all day every day? 128 00:06:05.160 --> 00:06:05.759 Because you got to. 129 00:06:05.720 --> 00:06:08.079 Fill up your time otherwise, Okay, jas gonna swing. 130 00:06:08.160 --> 00:06:10.680 Tired after ten minutes, so I don't think you need 131 00:06:10.720 --> 00:06:12.519 to worry about every day. You're gonna have to find 132 00:06:12.519 --> 00:06:13.319 some other activities. 133 00:06:13.560 --> 00:06:16.399 Last weekend walks upstairs, walks back downstairs. 134 00:06:16.439 --> 00:06:19.000 It's like I got a run. I'm so tired. 135 00:06:19.279 --> 00:06:21.360 I'm tired. I'm laying on the couch in the front 136 00:06:21.399 --> 00:06:24.480 in the living room. Everybody else is upstairs, still banging away. 137 00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:26.319 You hear a bunch of noises and you're like, can 138 00:06:26.319 --> 00:06:27.959 you keep it down. I'm trying to take a nap. 139 00:06:28.120 --> 00:06:31.519 Stop it, h okay. Next one, don't say a name. 140 00:06:32.720 --> 00:06:36.439 I'm for just for the I don't know context. It 141 00:06:36.519 --> 00:06:40.000 is from a woman. This time. I'm writing in regards 142 00:06:40.040 --> 00:06:44.439 to the changes in spouse activity level, which is going 143 00:06:44.439 --> 00:06:46.639 with the theme we just talked about. I'm living this currently. 144 00:06:46.680 --> 00:06:49.800 My husband has always been a quiet, not very outgoing person, 145 00:06:49.839 --> 00:06:51.920 but we used to go to the movies and dinners out, 146 00:06:51.959 --> 00:06:56.079 and COVID unfortunately change that drastically for him. Not that 147 00:06:56.120 --> 00:06:58.560 he's worried about COVID, but the many months where we 148 00:06:58.600 --> 00:07:01.040 stayed at home is giving him reason to stay home more. 149 00:07:01.399 --> 00:07:05.480 There are months where we don't go do anything as 150 00:07:05.680 --> 00:07:07.480 just us, or even just go out for supper. We 151 00:07:07.560 --> 00:07:09.959 have days where we go shopping out of town and eat. 152 00:07:10.480 --> 00:07:12.680 But it's different to me than planning a date night out. 153 00:07:12.720 --> 00:07:15.040 I have activities I want to go to, some are 154 00:07:15.079 --> 00:07:18.680 specifically for couples, and he will not do them. His 155 00:07:18.839 --> 00:07:22.600 response is always, you can go alone. Part of the 156 00:07:22.639 --> 00:07:24.319 reason you get married is because you like to spend 157 00:07:24.319 --> 00:07:26.920 time together. So for me to go alone, I see 158 00:07:26.959 --> 00:07:29.839 how it could cause us to grow apart. I don't 159 00:07:29.879 --> 00:07:32.399 want to go alone. I find myself signed of my 160 00:07:32.480 --> 00:07:34.600 kids up for sports activities. It'll keep us busy on 161 00:07:34.639 --> 00:07:37.000 the summer or weekends, just so I have stuff to 162 00:07:37.000 --> 00:07:38.560 do or something to get me out of the house. 163 00:07:38.839 --> 00:07:40.639 There's not really any point of this, just kind of 164 00:07:40.639 --> 00:07:43.920 a commiseration in my frustration you have with Susan. I 165 00:07:44.040 --> 00:07:46.519 express my frustration, but I'm not sure of how to 166 00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:49.279 fix this, as it needs to come from him and 167 00:07:49.399 --> 00:07:53.439 him changing love everyone and the show in general. Thank you, 168 00:07:53.600 --> 00:07:58.360 don't say my name? Yeah, And I wonder I've known 169 00:07:58.399 --> 00:08:01.360 a lot of women who say that about their husbands. 170 00:08:01.600 --> 00:08:04.040 They just don't want to go do anything. They want 171 00:08:04.079 --> 00:08:06.959 to stay home and watch World War II documentaries, and 172 00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:09.439 they want to stay home and work on their whatever 173 00:08:09.480 --> 00:08:12.399 in the garage. And I like to stay home, I 174 00:08:12.480 --> 00:08:15.879 really do, but this weekend I don't want to stay home. 175 00:08:16.480 --> 00:08:18.319 I can stay home anytime, but I get a three 176 00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:20.199 day weekend. What are you doing this weekend, Jenny. 177 00:08:20.639 --> 00:08:23.240 I'm going to head up to Crosby to just like 178 00:08:23.319 --> 00:08:26.199 hang out on a lake and chill out a cabin 179 00:08:26.319 --> 00:08:28.199 and that's it. But I do have to be back 180 00:08:28.199 --> 00:08:29.800 because I got to work at the State Fair on Monday. 181 00:08:29.839 --> 00:08:32.279 Oh do you Okay, Bailey? What are you doing this weekend? 182 00:08:32.360 --> 00:08:34.840 Well, I'll be working at the Renaissance Festival on Saturday 183 00:08:34.879 --> 00:08:37.480 and working at the Fair on Sunday and Monday. So 184 00:08:37.639 --> 00:08:40.080 that's what I'm doing this well, Ken, working but firing 185 00:08:40.200 --> 00:08:44.720 outside of the work. So I'm excited for it. Come 186 00:08:44.759 --> 00:08:46.600 to the fair and come see me, Dave, come see 187 00:08:46.639 --> 00:08:47.559 me on Sunday or Monday. 188 00:08:47.679 --> 00:08:50.080 I mean, that's that's not a bad idea because we 189 00:08:50.080 --> 00:08:52.240 do love the Renaissance Festival or that too. 190 00:08:52.279 --> 00:08:53.879 You could come to that too. You could come to both. 191 00:08:53.960 --> 00:08:56.080 I mean I could. I think I've kind of tapped 192 00:08:56.080 --> 00:09:00.440 out of the fair because we went on Saturday. We 193 00:09:00.480 --> 00:09:04.080 went again on Sunday. I'll be there tomorrow Wednesday with 194 00:09:04.159 --> 00:09:06.639 Treasure Island noon to one and with the station on 195 00:09:06.720 --> 00:09:09.679 Thursday from eleven till one. Yeah, I'll hang out afterward 196 00:09:09.720 --> 00:09:11.840 because I'm not going to go just and then leave, right, 197 00:09:12.200 --> 00:09:14.080 But I do have to slow down with the eating. 198 00:09:14.159 --> 00:09:17.679 I have put on five pounds since the fair started. 199 00:09:17.759 --> 00:09:18.639 Yeah, but it's the fair. 200 00:09:18.919 --> 00:09:22.759 Yeah, it doesn't exist like time space doesn't exist during 201 00:09:22.799 --> 00:09:23.120 the fair. 202 00:09:23.240 --> 00:09:24.360 I agree with that, but. 203 00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:27.360 I also have to recover from that five pounds and 204 00:09:27.399 --> 00:09:29.360 I like to stay at my fight and wait, you 205 00:09:29.399 --> 00:09:29.879 know what I mean? 206 00:09:30.240 --> 00:09:32.879 Yeah, sure, because of all the fighting you're doing. Yeah, 207 00:09:32.919 --> 00:09:34.799 to make sure you don't go above that or you're 208 00:09:34.840 --> 00:09:37.840 not you're gonna lose all your fights in that weight range. 209 00:09:37.919 --> 00:09:42.960 Thank you, Jenny. Next one from Ruth they say, just 210 00:09:43.000 --> 00:09:44.639 want to say there was a caller that was wondering, 211 00:09:44.960 --> 00:09:48.559 what will you do when Dave retires? I wondered the 212 00:09:48.600 --> 00:09:50.840 same thing, but then Dave was off recently, and I 213 00:09:50.879 --> 00:09:53.480 have to say, Jenny Bailey and vont did an awesome job. 214 00:09:54.320 --> 00:09:56.559 That's from Ruth. Well, I hate to hear that. What 215 00:09:56.679 --> 00:09:59.720 I really want to hear is that you sucked and 216 00:09:59.759 --> 00:10:03.120 it was it's just a travesty of dead air, bad 217 00:10:03.240 --> 00:10:07.919 jokes that fell flat and other horrible things. Yeah, that's 218 00:10:07.960 --> 00:10:11.080 what I want to hear. But no, seriously, I am, 219 00:10:12.200 --> 00:10:14.720 and I'm not lying. I'm happy to know that you 220 00:10:14.720 --> 00:10:17.039 guys pull it off when I'm gone, because I know 221 00:10:17.120 --> 00:10:19.679 that you can. But I also would not want people 222 00:10:19.720 --> 00:10:21.879 to go aw, it's not as good. I'm not going 223 00:10:21.960 --> 00:10:24.440 to listen when Dave's not there and then go find 224 00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:27.960 another favorite radio show. I want you guys to do 225 00:10:28.039 --> 00:10:29.879 well when I'm not here, and I think that you 226 00:10:29.919 --> 00:10:30.360 probably do. 227 00:10:30.480 --> 00:10:32.200 Yeah. I mean, we leave plenty of dead air, but 228 00:10:32.240 --> 00:10:34.879 we're sparkling personalities otherwise, so they get over it. 229 00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:36.000 I guess I gotcha. 230 00:10:36.360 --> 00:10:38.039 Do you want me to turn that down? Jenny? You 231 00:10:38.080 --> 00:10:41.919 got it? Jenny is using the volume control sliders as 232 00:10:41.960 --> 00:10:45.159 we speak. Thank you, Ruth. I think that you know 233 00:10:45.200 --> 00:10:48.360 when I do retire. Somebody asked the other day on 234 00:10:48.440 --> 00:10:50.080 no Phone screen or Friday, what are you going to do? 235 00:10:50.120 --> 00:10:53.519 I said, I don't care. I know what's going to 236 00:10:53.559 --> 00:10:55.840 happen on the show. I don't care because I'll be 237 00:10:55.879 --> 00:10:57.440 gone the last thing I'm going to worry about. But 238 00:10:57.440 --> 00:10:59.639 I think that probably what they'll do is the three 239 00:10:59.639 --> 00:11:03.639 of you would probably continue the show. I don't know, or. 240 00:11:03.559 --> 00:11:06.279 They'll just blow up the radio. It won't exist anymore. 241 00:11:06.320 --> 00:11:08.039 I don't think they would do that now because I 242 00:11:08.080 --> 00:11:12.279 think what the problem is in hiring an all new shows. 243 00:11:12.320 --> 00:11:15.519 They got to start from scratch, Yeah, they really, and 244 00:11:15.679 --> 00:11:19.000 starting from scratch in this day and age in radio 245 00:11:19.759 --> 00:11:24.399 is really difficult, and because you have to cut because 246 00:11:24.399 --> 00:11:27.440 first of all, I mean, between you and me, radio 247 00:11:27.600 --> 00:11:32.600 still is thriving and doing really well, but not as 248 00:11:32.600 --> 00:11:35.200 well as it did when it was the only medium 249 00:11:35.279 --> 00:11:39.120 out there. You know, a generation ago, it was radio 250 00:11:40.240 --> 00:11:45.559 and TV and your own music, your CD collection. Yeah then, 251 00:11:45.919 --> 00:11:47.919 and now there's so much, I mean, there's so much 252 00:11:47.960 --> 00:11:51.559 that competes with radio. That radio is still thriving, but 253 00:11:51.720 --> 00:11:55.360 not necessarily growing because it's hard to get people that 254 00:11:55.519 --> 00:11:58.120 don't listen to the radio to listen to the radio. 255 00:11:58.679 --> 00:12:00.679 So in other words, if they got of everybody on 256 00:12:00.720 --> 00:12:03.480 this morning show and brought in you know, Zippy and 257 00:12:03.480 --> 00:12:06.759 Peanut in the Morning, they're really funny, I made that 258 00:12:06.799 --> 00:12:09.399 show up, then Zippy and Peanut in the Morning would 259 00:12:09.399 --> 00:12:11.279 have to start from scratch, right, And they don't want 260 00:12:11.279 --> 00:12:11.639 to do that. 261 00:12:11.679 --> 00:12:14.360 And I've listened to shows where they like have either 262 00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:18.360 completely changed their format, like podcasting where they're like, Okay, 263 00:12:18.360 --> 00:12:20.360 we're done talking about that one thing that you have 264 00:12:20.759 --> 00:12:22.600 grown accustomed to, and now we're going to start talking 265 00:12:22.639 --> 00:12:23.799 about this completely different thing. 266 00:12:24.200 --> 00:12:24.879 And that's hard. 267 00:12:24.960 --> 00:12:26.919 But like, I've also listened to shows where they have 268 00:12:27.080 --> 00:12:30.320 completely different hosts one day and then the next day 269 00:12:30.519 --> 00:12:32.480 is brand new people. And you're like, well, I don't 270 00:12:32.519 --> 00:12:33.080 like these people. 271 00:12:33.159 --> 00:12:34.720 Tell me what you mean. I'm not sure what you mean. 272 00:12:34.799 --> 00:12:36.759 Well, I mean I don't want to like name the station, 273 00:12:36.879 --> 00:12:39.720 but they had hosts that left here in town. Here 274 00:12:39.720 --> 00:12:42.159 in town, okay, host that left, and then we're replaced 275 00:12:42.200 --> 00:12:43.519 by two brand new hosts. 276 00:12:43.600 --> 00:12:44.440 I know what you're talking about. 277 00:12:44.519 --> 00:12:46.559 And I was like, Okay, i didn't love the host 278 00:12:46.679 --> 00:12:49.080 that left, so I'm going to like this new show. 279 00:12:49.240 --> 00:12:50.159 And then I don't. 280 00:12:50.440 --> 00:12:51.039 Oh killies. 281 00:12:51.159 --> 00:12:54.200 I don't know either of them, and I don't know. 282 00:12:54.279 --> 00:12:56.120 It seems like, like you said, you have to start 283 00:12:56.159 --> 00:12:59.039 from scratch, so you have to learn to become friends 284 00:12:59.039 --> 00:13:02.879 with these people. Yeah, and I think that takes a 285 00:13:02.879 --> 00:13:06.720 lot of work. So, like people have established they are 286 00:13:06.759 --> 00:13:09.120 friends with you, even if it's a parasocial relationship, they 287 00:13:09.120 --> 00:13:10.679 are friends with you. You are their friend, you are 288 00:13:10.720 --> 00:13:13.639 their dad. And so like if you left, and then 289 00:13:13.679 --> 00:13:15.600 everybody left it was brand new people. They'd be like, 290 00:13:15.679 --> 00:13:16.519 that's not my dad. 291 00:13:16.840 --> 00:13:18.799 I don't like him any no, And that is an 292 00:13:18.840 --> 00:13:22.240 absolutely true phenomenon in radio. But I think it also 293 00:13:22.320 --> 00:13:25.200 goes to a circle of friends. So let's say you 294 00:13:25.240 --> 00:13:28.000 and I and Jenny and Vaughnt and whatever, and we're 295 00:13:28.039 --> 00:13:30.960 all like, you know, and maybe Rich and Fallon and whatever. 296 00:13:30.960 --> 00:13:33.039 We're all in a circle of friends. Well, here comes 297 00:13:33.080 --> 00:13:37.279 this new guy, Brent. Brent comes in and we're a 298 00:13:37.320 --> 00:13:40.519 little bit like, we're observing, we're watching. We don't like 299 00:13:40.600 --> 00:13:42.759 Brent yet. Yeah, but after we meet Brent a few 300 00:13:42.759 --> 00:13:45.519 times and realize that he's pretty funny and he's really 301 00:13:45.600 --> 00:13:48.200 generous and he loves to listen to your store, now 302 00:13:48.240 --> 00:13:51.679 you start to like Brent. But at first we're cautious. 303 00:13:52.159 --> 00:13:55.240 And I know that happens whenever ever, ever we bring 304 00:13:55.279 --> 00:13:58.639 somebody new on the show, people don't like them. And 305 00:13:58.679 --> 00:14:01.000 I always tell new people in the show, people are 306 00:14:01.039 --> 00:14:03.879 going to hate you at first, and people grow to 307 00:14:04.120 --> 00:14:07.600 like you. And I know this too. When people leave Minnesota, 308 00:14:08.000 --> 00:14:10.480 they'll move to Sacramento, or they'll move to Dallas, and 309 00:14:10.519 --> 00:14:13.200 they'll be like all the radio stations here suck, so 310 00:14:13.320 --> 00:14:16.600 I listen to you guys, Well, it's because you're familiar 311 00:14:17.320 --> 00:14:22.080 with us, and so familiarity and I think that's probably 312 00:14:22.480 --> 00:14:25.000 It's funny that you didn't like the two original hosts 313 00:14:25.000 --> 00:14:27.679 of the show even though you knew them. Well, yes, 314 00:14:27.720 --> 00:14:32.159 were they somewhat like they had very high opinions of themselves. 315 00:14:33.200 --> 00:14:36.360 Maybe I think they just I don't know. I didn't 316 00:14:36.480 --> 00:14:39.360 enjoy their banter, and the new people, I don't enjoy 317 00:14:39.360 --> 00:14:41.799 their banter either because I don't know them and they 318 00:14:41.840 --> 00:14:42.360 know each other. 319 00:14:42.519 --> 00:14:43.519 So it's just weird. 320 00:14:43.840 --> 00:14:46.480 And I think sometimes that's what radio people are bad at, 321 00:14:46.639 --> 00:14:50.600 is they will banter between themselves and forget that there 322 00:14:50.679 --> 00:14:53.759 are people listening. When Fallon and Steve would fill in 323 00:14:53.840 --> 00:14:57.000 when I was gone, I was concerned because they were 324 00:14:57.039 --> 00:14:59.679 both newish on the show and I would listen, I'd 325 00:14:59.720 --> 00:15:02.000 be like, the guys are talking only to each other. 326 00:15:02.440 --> 00:15:05.600 You're forgetting that there are people listening. You've got to 327 00:15:05.639 --> 00:15:08.879 remember is this interesting to the people that are listening? 328 00:15:09.399 --> 00:15:11.639 Rather than when I would coach radio shows because I 329 00:15:11.879 --> 00:15:14.200 don't anymore because a lot of them don't appreciate it, 330 00:15:14.440 --> 00:15:17.519 and it gets really frustrating when I work, really hard 331 00:15:17.559 --> 00:15:20.360 to spend three hours working on a morning show and 332 00:15:20.440 --> 00:15:23.120 I coach them and the next week they're doing the 333 00:15:23.159 --> 00:15:25.039 exact goddamn same things wrong. 334 00:15:25.200 --> 00:15:27.679 You're like, God, day did I try? 335 00:15:27.360 --> 00:15:30.279 So I don't really do that much anymore, but I 336 00:15:30.279 --> 00:15:33.000 would remind people when you're talking, you've got to make 337 00:15:33.000 --> 00:15:36.440 sure that you realize there are people listening. So you 338 00:15:36.600 --> 00:15:38.120 either got to say once in a while like well 339 00:15:38.159 --> 00:15:40.240 what do you think? Or send me an email, or 340 00:15:40.320 --> 00:15:43.960 this show is about you and it's got to be something. 341 00:15:44.000 --> 00:15:45.879 So Bailey and I sat and just talked about how 342 00:15:45.960 --> 00:15:49.480 much we'd love the Twilight Zone. Hm, it'd be interesting 343 00:15:49.519 --> 00:15:52.919 for thirty seconds the tops And if you don't like 344 00:15:52.960 --> 00:15:55.720 Twilight Zone, then you'd be like, they're not including me 345 00:15:55.759 --> 00:15:58.720 in this conversation. So we talk about things that everybody 346 00:15:59.639 --> 00:16:01.799 wants to talk about, like the State Fair. Yeah, because 347 00:16:01.840 --> 00:16:03.559 nearly everybody wants talk about the State Fair. 348 00:16:03.960 --> 00:16:06.519 Yeah, and especially in the last like well a few 349 00:16:06.559 --> 00:16:08.919 days since it's been around. But people are hyped about 350 00:16:09.000 --> 00:16:13.679 telling you how the storm was delayed opening all that is, 351 00:16:14.559 --> 00:16:17.519 and I wanted to know that information myself too. I 352 00:16:17.639 --> 00:16:18.159 was curious. 353 00:16:18.679 --> 00:16:21.519 Okay, we got time for one more on the Minnesota goodbye, 354 00:16:21.559 --> 00:16:26.120 and this is from Amanda, so she says we can 355 00:16:26.159 --> 00:16:30.519 talk about that. On the I'm Still Fun podcast, Jenny 356 00:16:30.639 --> 00:16:34.240 was daydreaming about moving to Seattle. I lived in Portland 357 00:16:34.320 --> 00:16:36.559 for two years and several other states since then. I'm 358 00:16:36.559 --> 00:16:41.279 considering moving back. What qualities of Minnesota keep you all there? 359 00:16:41.600 --> 00:16:43.519 I I feel like we might have read this one, 360 00:16:43.879 --> 00:16:44.679 but I'm not sure. 361 00:16:44.840 --> 00:16:45.559 I don't remember it. 362 00:16:45.639 --> 00:16:48.159 All we know this, we all know the summers are great? 363 00:16:48.600 --> 00:16:50.840 What else? What keeps you there? If you have an 364 00:16:50.840 --> 00:16:53.200 awesome job in a different state, would you move away 365 00:16:53.320 --> 00:16:56.399 from your family and friends? Have so much fun at 366 00:16:56.399 --> 00:16:58.879 the fair. It is a hug, and when it pulls away, 367 00:16:58.919 --> 00:17:03.200 you're handed to Pronto. That was really good, Bailey, So 368 00:17:03.759 --> 00:17:06.720 what keeps you here? I'm gonna be honest with you. 369 00:17:07.079 --> 00:17:11.319 I love Minnesota, but the winters are getting harder and harder. 370 00:17:11.359 --> 00:17:15.519 I love being outdoors. I love summer activities. I love summer, 371 00:17:15.559 --> 00:17:18.720 spring and fall activities. I love hiking, I love motorcycle riding. 372 00:17:19.079 --> 00:17:23.440 So the winters are long, cold and dark, and as 373 00:17:23.480 --> 00:17:26.720 I realize I want to live my life the way 374 00:17:26.759 --> 00:17:31.519 I want, Minnesota is not always that accommodating, not at all, Jenny, 375 00:17:31.519 --> 00:17:32.359 what do you think. 376 00:17:32.640 --> 00:17:34.519 The only thing that keeps me here is Andrew for 377 00:17:34.559 --> 00:17:39.000 the most part, and then this job, because if I 378 00:17:39.039 --> 00:17:41.680 could pick up and have a job in a different city, 379 00:17:41.680 --> 00:17:45.319 I would. I don't love the Twin Cities very much anymore. 380 00:17:45.400 --> 00:17:48.559 I did love it, but I've been here long enough 381 00:17:48.599 --> 00:17:51.720 and I like change sometimes, and so personally, I would 382 00:17:51.799 --> 00:17:55.000 love to just like be somewhere where there's mountains. That's 383 00:17:55.000 --> 00:17:57.160 no secret that I like to hike and snowboard, and 384 00:17:57.200 --> 00:18:00.799 I just like hate not having easy access to certain 385 00:18:00.839 --> 00:18:03.920 things like that year round. It only happens a couple 386 00:18:03.960 --> 00:18:06.119 times a year when I make it out on a vacation. 387 00:18:06.799 --> 00:18:09.240 So what keeps you here? Bailey? 388 00:18:09.799 --> 00:18:12.200 I actually left and then came back because I like 389 00:18:12.240 --> 00:18:16.799 it so much here. I like the arts. There's so 390 00:18:16.920 --> 00:18:20.559 much arts and culture here. It's super diverse. I love 391 00:18:20.680 --> 00:18:24.559 the people. I love living in Minneapolis and the Twin 392 00:18:24.599 --> 00:18:27.720 Cities in general. Obviously, my family is here. I coach 393 00:18:27.960 --> 00:18:30.640 speech and debate and my speech team is here. Yes, 394 00:18:30.720 --> 00:18:33.359 I could like get up and go to a different place, 395 00:18:33.440 --> 00:18:35.920 but I would miss it here so much because I just. 396 00:18:35.880 --> 00:18:40.359 Love being a citizen of the Twin Cities. It just 397 00:18:40.559 --> 00:18:41.759 fills me up. I love it. 398 00:18:41.880 --> 00:18:44.039 Yeah, I get that it is. There's a lot here. 399 00:18:44.079 --> 00:18:48.319 It is a really big city, vibrant with a vibrant 400 00:18:48.319 --> 00:18:50.720 without a lot of the big city issues. Yeah, this 401 00:18:50.799 --> 00:18:53.079
