Speaker 1: Welcome to the Minnesota Goodbye. A little after the show podcast.
Speaker 1: Maybe your first time listener. We basically read emails and
Speaker 1: talk about things that we don't always get to talk
Speaker 1: about on the radio and things that we can talk
Speaker 1: about a little bit longer. So I'm going to save
Speaker 1: the Pike's Peak talk for the end of the podcast
Speaker 1: because there's some people that don't care. Yeah, and you
Speaker 1: were quick to agree with that. Bailey, you were very
Speaker 1: quick to agree with there's some people that don't care.
Speaker 1: I just support you. There are people who have asked
Speaker 1: about the Pike's Peak hike, but I'll save that toward
Speaker 1: the end. So if you don't care, then you can skip.
Speaker 1: You can stop when I get to that part. So
Speaker 1: let's read some emails, because that's usually what did you
Speaker 1: guys do last week? Anything interesting developments or topics on
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Goodbye.
Speaker 2: Well, vom was on it, so I had told people
Speaker 2: to email in with any specific questions for Vaunt and
Speaker 2: Bailey and myself. So we got like a few here
Speaker 2: and there, but I don't really think we had like
Speaker 2: a running topic.
Speaker 1: Okay, well, here's an interesting one. They say, you can
Speaker 1: say my name Tyler is their name, Good Morning Show,
Speaker 1: Good Morning, Morning Show. Gang. I've been meaning to write
Speaker 1: this email for a while, but it kind of relates
Speaker 1: back to the Minnesota Goodbye from several weeks or months ago,
Speaker 1: when Dave referenced that David koresh tragedy in Waco, Texas
Speaker 1: that sparked a memory from college that I thought contained
Speaker 1: an amount of spice sufficient for the show with the
Speaker 1: classic Waco compound segue. I will now get right into
Speaker 1: the story. I went to college in the South and
Speaker 1: one of my professors was from Waco. In April of
Speaker 1: twenty thirteen, a fertilizer plant in Waco exploded. My professor
Speaker 1: walked into class that day in tears. She informed the
Speaker 1: class she just received a call from her sister in
Speaker 1: law informing her that her brother was at the plant
Speaker 1: at the time of the explosion. So one of the
Speaker 1: words sister in law calls. Turns out this woman's husband
Speaker 1: was at the plant at the time of the explosion.
Speaker 1: Now they say class was canceled for the rest of
Speaker 1: the week, so oh, the professor could grieve the loss
Speaker 1: of her brother. I guess a brother. Okay. On Monday
Speaker 1: we returned, our professor was noticeably not sad at all.
Speaker 1: She opened the class by telling us, yes, my brother
Speaker 1: is still alive, despite the fact that her brother had
Speaker 1: called his wife just seconds before the explosion to tell
Speaker 1: her he was about to eat lunch in the cafeteria
Speaker 1: at the plant. But he was actually not at the plant.
Speaker 1: He was at a hotel with his mistress, who, like Jesus,
Speaker 1: her brother waited three days before he came home to
Speaker 1: let his family know that he's not dead. Oh, I see,
Speaker 1: like Jesus. So they thought he was dead for three days. Sure,
Speaker 1: then he came home to let his family know he's
Speaker 1: not dead. It was like an extreme version of war
Speaker 1: The Roses Best asked Jonathan Foegil about that one. Wow.
Speaker 1: So while he could have died if he wasn't off
Speaker 1: banging the mistress down at the red roof.
Speaker 3: Inn ah wow wow.
Speaker 1: Unrelated note. I had to take a treadmill out of
Speaker 1: my house this weekend. This unrelated. It turns out the
Speaker 1: most effective workout ever got was that out of that
Speaker 1: machine was disassembling reassembling that fucking thing. I had to
Speaker 1: take a couple of doors off the hinges just to
Speaker 1: get him out. Love the new expanded Morning Show squad.
Speaker 1: Thanks for all y'all do all right? That's from Tyler Jenny.
Speaker 1: Are you liking the I got you? I sold you
Speaker 1: a walking treadmill that Susan bought six months ago. She
Speaker 1: used one time. It is not a running treadmill, it's
Speaker 1: a walking treadmill. Sold it to you for seventy five bucks.
Speaker 1: Do you like it?
Speaker 3: I do.
Speaker 4: I've been using it.
Speaker 2: I bought an adjustable standing desk as well, so I've
Speaker 2: been just working on my computer standing up and walking
Speaker 2: at the same time. It is kind of hard to
Speaker 2: do work when you're trying to read things. True, yes,
Speaker 2: and walk on the treadmill.
Speaker 4: But I've been able to.
Speaker 2: Like yesterday morning, I was typing out all kinds of
Speaker 2: things for the show, and I was able to do
Speaker 2: it the whole time while I walked.
Speaker 4: So I like it a lot.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 1: I used to I had a stand up desk. You
Speaker 1: have a stand up desk or a treadmill? Yeah, it's great.
Speaker 1: During the pandemic, we were in the other room, all
Speaker 1: isolated from each other, so I didn't have a desk,
Speaker 1: so I rolled in a stand up desk and I do.
Speaker 1: This story is not even a good story. Shot up.
Speaker 4: And you like standing up.
Speaker 1: I like standing up, and I had a stand up desk.
Speaker 1: That's my story. It is the dumbest fucking story ever.
Speaker 2: Yeah, can you tell me more? Do you feel like
Speaker 2: you burn more calories because of it?
Speaker 1: Had wheels? And now now you're just trying to make
Speaker 1: me feel stupid.
Speaker 2: No, I don't even have to try. I want to
Speaker 2: add more details to the story.
Speaker 1: I still have it. You want to buy it. You
Speaker 1: want to buy a stand up desk?
Speaker 2: No, I already got one. I just bought one I had.
Speaker 2: This is something you missed last week. The strangest interaction
Speaker 2: on Facebook marketplace trying to buy this desk. This person
Speaker 2: was like to summarize it. It was a lot of
Speaker 2: back and forth, and finally I was like, hey, can
Speaker 2: you send me your address? Thirty minutes later, are you
Speaker 2: on your way? I go, No, I need your address.
Speaker 2: That's weird, seriously. And I was like, lady, what it's
Speaker 2: weird about me asking for your address? What did you
Speaker 2: need their address for to get to their house to
Speaker 2: pick it up off Facebook?
Speaker 1: Marketing?
Speaker 5: It?
Speaker 1: Okay?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 2: And then she was like, yeah, I asked you if
Speaker 2: you had a truck and someone to help you with
Speaker 2: it and I go. You also asked me if I
Speaker 2: was on my way, so I said, I need your address,
Speaker 2: So it was just a cluster.
Speaker 4: Back of an interaction.
Speaker 2: I did end up like asking for less money because
Speaker 2: she threw me through the ringer trying to like get
Speaker 2: to her place, so she did chop off like thirty bucks.
Speaker 4: So I ended up buying it.
Speaker 2: But it was interesting, and I did bring Andrew because
Speaker 2: I was scared I was gonna get murdered at that point.
Speaker 1: So good call. Yeah, you are my hero, Jenny when
Speaker 1: it comes to Facebook Marketplace, because I don't understand how
Speaker 1: it works. And you said if somebody says is this
Speaker 1: still available, to delete them, to ignore them? Why, because
Speaker 1: that seems like a legitimate question. If I'm selling, like
Speaker 1: a pair of roller blades, I might say, is this
Speaker 1: still available? Why is that a bad thing?
Speaker 2: Because if it's still up, it's still available, Like why
Speaker 2: are you asking if it's still available? Okay's And I
Speaker 2: put that in every Facebook Marketplace post that I'm trying
Speaker 2: to sell. I literally put if it's up, it's still available,
Speaker 2: do not ask me if it's available?
Speaker 1: Okay?
Speaker 5: That and like that's the default question that like Facebook
Speaker 5: Messenger popular. I see, yeah, so then you'll know like, oh,
Speaker 5: they're just clicking a button that says is this still available?
Speaker 1: I see?
Speaker 3: So I just try and gidge it up a little bit.
Speaker 1: Gigit up a little bit up, Like what do you mean?
Speaker 5: You go like, Hi, I'm super interested in this couch?
Speaker 5: Is this still available? Or is someone waiting for it
Speaker 5: right now?
Speaker 1: But isn't that just the same thing.
Speaker 4: But because it's like.
Speaker 2: More of a real interaction versus doing the automated one
Speaker 2: of like send this message so and then you can
Speaker 2: respond back to that person with an automated one like yeah,
Speaker 2: so you still interested? Is like an automated response you
Speaker 2: can give.
Speaker 1: How long do you give something on Facebook marketplace to
Speaker 1: you say it's not going to sell. Let's say my
Speaker 1: rollerblades amen up there for three days? Do I just
Speaker 1: leave them there? Do I eventually take them down?
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, rollerblades. Yeah, I'd leave them up for
Speaker 4: a while. Okay, you're selling your rollerblades?
Speaker 1: No, I'm no, you.
Speaker 3: Just got the.
Speaker 1: All right? Next email, it's says Kristen writes in Hello,
Speaker 1: my favorite morning show. On Friday, Jenny was talking about
Speaker 1: the next splon next birth control and how last time
Speaker 1: she got it switched out it was excruciating. Is that
Speaker 1: the little things they put in your arm? Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: I have an IUD and I get it switched out
Speaker 1: last year. The most painful thing experienced in my life.
Speaker 1: And I've also got my tongue split, broken multiple bones,
Speaker 1: and gotten my naples pierced. So that's saying something. What
Speaker 1: would be an example of the most physically painful experience
Speaker 1: you've had? Thanks? Love you guys, all right? From Kristen Jenny.
Speaker 2: Voluntarily or on accident? I mean in general, I would
Speaker 2: say on accident. It was when I broke my wrist snowboarding.
Speaker 4: It was awful.
Speaker 2: It was broken in multiple multiple places, and we were
Speaker 2: out at troll Hagen. It was late night, so it
Speaker 2: was dark and my friend that was with me, she
Speaker 2: had been drinking and so I had to drive us
Speaker 2: back to the Twins.
Speaker 1: With a broken wrist.
Speaker 2: And I also, because I was very very broke back then,
Speaker 2: I was like, it's probably just like a spring And
Speaker 2: I didn't go do anything about it for like two
Speaker 2: days because I didn't want to pay for it, because
Speaker 2: it was a weekend and I didn't want to go
Speaker 2: to the er, and I don't think I had insurance
Speaker 2: at the time either. And finally, like that next night,
Speaker 2: I was hanging out with friends and I had just
Speaker 2: like wrapped it up in some like you know, like
Speaker 2: when you box, you have like the wraps.
Speaker 4: For me, that's all I had wrapped it up.
Speaker 2: And then there was a nurse there when I was
Speaker 2: hanging out with these people, They're like, Jenny, that is
Speaker 2: really broken. You need to go see a doctor immediately.
Speaker 2: So that definitely was the worst pain because I also
Speaker 2: and then also when they put the cast on it,
Speaker 2: because they had to remold the bones, that was absolutely awful.
Speaker 2: I have never sweat on my ass more in my
Speaker 2: entire life because they did not warn me what they
Speaker 2: were about to do when they were putting the cast
Speaker 2: on and that they had to like shift and like
Speaker 2: remold it.
Speaker 4: Oh, that was awful.
Speaker 3: None of that's ever happened to me. I've never broken
Speaker 3: a bone.
Speaker 1: I don't think i've broken when either. I might have
Speaker 1: broken a toe when I was a kid because I
Speaker 1: did something shitty to my brother and he chased me
Speaker 1: into my room and I tripped over a stool and
Speaker 1: I remember it hurts so bad. That's probably the worst
Speaker 1: pain I've been in, but I've never really been in,
Speaker 1: you know, like an excruciating amount of like you know,
Speaker 1: child birth, third degree burned pain.
Speaker 3: You tripped over a stool and that was the worst
Speaker 3: pain you've ever had?
Speaker 1: Hurt my toe really bad?
Speaker 3: Wow?
Speaker 5: Yeah, Wow, I'm gonna say probably mine is when I
Speaker 5: had a blood clot in my leg.
Speaker 3: That was really painful for a week I had that.
Speaker 5: It felt like a Charlie horse on the first day,
Speaker 5: and then it just got to be the worst Charlie
Speaker 5: Horse I've ever had, where I would get out of
Speaker 5: bed and literally put my feet on the floor and
Speaker 5: fall on the ground because my leg hurts so bad.
Speaker 1: Ouch.
Speaker 5: So that was super fun. But yes, I have gotten
Speaker 5: an iud in and that hurts like a bitch.
Speaker 1: A what a bitch? No? No, no, you got.
Speaker 3: Oh sorry an iud.
Speaker 1: An iud Oh yeah an ivy okay.
Speaker 5: An id And it hurts like a bitch. It hurts
Speaker 5: really bad. It's like they're giving you a cramp from
Speaker 5: the inside, so you can feel them like pulling at
Speaker 5: your insides as they're in there doing it. Oh wow,
Speaker 5: it's like they're pulling your intestines. It hurts so bad.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've heard nightmare stories about iud's I am I
Speaker 2: will stick with my next one on versus getting that done?
Speaker 3: Yeah, fun, got to touch it, Dave, What that's what
Speaker 3: you missed out on? Not the her IUD, not my ID.
Speaker 5: Fun, that's next one on.
Speaker 1: That's what I thought? What'd you take your IUD out
Speaker 1: and throw it on the counter and past up here?
Speaker 3: Touch this and then put it back in and.
Speaker 1: Then put it back in. I'm glad I missed last week.
Speaker 3: Yeah no, he touched Jenny's next plan on Yeah.
Speaker 1: Through your arm, right, Yeah you can feel it. It feels
Speaker 1: like little match sticks or something.
Speaker 4: Yeah, kind of it was smaller than a match Okay.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, all right, next one, Hello, Morning Show All Stars.
Speaker 1: I've had three partners since moving to Minneapolis in twenty twelve,
Speaker 1: two and a half years, five years and two and
Speaker 1: a half years. Sometimes I can't remember which experiences I've
Speaker 1: done with the guy, like places we've gone, or movies
Speaker 1: or shows we've watched. I feel so bad when we're
Speaker 1: looking for a movie and I say did you watch this?
Speaker 1: Or we already watched this? Right? Or when I tell stories,
Speaker 1: I always say, did I tell you this already? Oftentimes yes,
Speaker 1: he knows I've had past relationships, and he understands my
Speaker 1: memory issues and head injuries. I've had two concussions and
Speaker 1: a skull fracture, but I feel like my memory is
Speaker 1: getting worse. I just realized I don't remember my feelings
Speaker 1: from my ex from twenty twelve. He recently reached out
Speaker 1: to me, and I know he's a great guy. We
Speaker 1: had amazing times even lived together, but I can't remember
Speaker 1: how much we were in love or even picture us
Speaker 1: together back then. He never hurt me or cheated on me.
Speaker 1: I care about him still, and I do have dreams
Speaker 1: about him sometimes. And now it's starting to happen with
Speaker 1: my ex husband too. His memories are slipping away and
Speaker 1: I don't want them to. I'm wondering if this has
Speaker 1: happened to anybody else. I keep asking myself if this
Speaker 1: is just my mind blocking out my exes to focus
Speaker 1: on my new love, or it's due to my head injuries.
Speaker 1: That's from Adriana ps. I love Bailey's silly laugh and
Speaker 1: quirky NERD references. A great edition you make, Young.
Speaker 3: David. It's Star Wars God.
Speaker 1: It says, you got to say it in a Yoda voice.
Speaker 3: A great edition you make, great edition you make young Padawan.
Speaker 1: You got a terrible Yoda voice. Mine's way better.
Speaker 3: Your sounds like a sad muppet.
Speaker 1: A great edition you make younga.
Speaker 3: No, that's bad.
Speaker 1: Ye me hear yours?
Speaker 3: Oh great edition you make you?
Speaker 1: No, it's terrible.
Speaker 4: Either.
Speaker 1: Mine's better Yoda.
Speaker 4: I was gonna be honest, I think it might be day.
Speaker 3: Dave sounds like Yoda when he died and then he
Speaker 3: turned into nothing.
Speaker 4: He's got that little gurgly sound. Though, young.
Speaker 2: You will be.
Speaker 3: That's one of the things that he said that My sister.
Speaker 1: Said, Jenny's like your nerds.
Speaker 2: If you're not interested in the Pike's Peak talk, just like,
Speaker 2: don't worry.
Speaker 4: I'll do that at the end.
Speaker 2: I think I zoned out just now, but I'll be
Speaker 2: back to uned in when you start talking about Pike's Peak.
Speaker 4: So just let me know.
Speaker 1: Okay, Okay. Here's another one says Minnesota goodbye.
Speaker 3: Wait were we going to respond to her?
Speaker 1: Huh?
Speaker 3: Were we going to say anything about her memory?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, thank you for that. But I think
Speaker 1: it's sometimes I look back to like years ago that
Speaker 1: I love somebody like I remember how much I loved Julie,
Speaker 1: and I remember I remember how much I loved her.
Speaker 1: But I've dated other people where I don't really remember
Speaker 1: why or how much I loved them.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, so I feel that I don't think
Speaker 5: it's your head injury necessarily, because I've had boyfriends as well,
Speaker 5: and I only remember the good stuff. And then like
Speaker 5: sometimes I've come across like an old diary entry where
Speaker 5: I'm complaining about something that happened when I was in
Speaker 5: an argument with them or something, and I'm like, oh,
Speaker 5: I totally forgot about that, because you only really remember
Speaker 5: the good stuff, you.
Speaker 1: Really kind of do. Yeah, yeah, Jenny.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, Andrew's the only real real relationship I've had,
Speaker 2: so I don't really look back at too.
Speaker 3: Many I didn't know that.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 2: No, I mean I dated other people, but I and
Speaker 2: I wasn't in love with anyone else, and I didn't
Speaker 2: date more than probably a few months anyone else.
Speaker 1: Wow. Yeah, nothing wrong with that. That's not uncommon.
Speaker 5: And I think it's totally fine to do the same
Speaker 5: things with the different people because that's still something about you,
Speaker 5: Like if you like watching movies and commenting on this
Speaker 5: thing in the movie or whatever, and you make that
Speaker 5: into a bit with your new partner, and you did
Speaker 5: it with your old partner.
Speaker 3: That's not bad.
Speaker 1: Can I disagree with you on that one, sir? Okay?
Speaker 1: Because Julie and I used to go to a restaurant
Speaker 1: in Phoenix called Steamers, which was a very upscale seafood restaurant,
Speaker 1: and then we broke up, and then I took Susan there,
Speaker 1: and then we got back together and I took Julie
Speaker 1: back to our place, Steamers, and I mentioned, yeah, Susan
Speaker 1: and I came here a couple of weeks ago. She's like,
Speaker 1: you came to our place, and she was really pissed.
Speaker 4: Sure.
Speaker 1: There's also I dated a girl that we played cribbage
Speaker 1: a lot, and I won't play cribbage with anybody else,
Speaker 1: Susan especially, Yeah, because it reminds me of this other person.
Speaker 1: So I think that they're like, you know, there's certain
Speaker 1: shows or pizza places or whatever where I don't. Is
Speaker 1: it okay? That's a good question. Is it okay to
Speaker 1: go to the same places that were your place with
Speaker 1: someone else?
Speaker 3: I feel like people.
Speaker 5: Write a lot of songs about this all the time,
Speaker 5: and I feel like the answers usually know. But then
Speaker 5: I'm going to be the one different person and say yeah,
Speaker 5: because it's something that you like to do and you
Speaker 5: just happen to do it with one person, doesn't mean
Speaker 5: you can't do it with someone else.
Speaker 3: Why not?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can, I think because it's a little bit
Speaker 1: disrespectful to them if you don't like that person anymore. Sure,
Speaker 1: Like I would if Steamers was still there, I would
Speaker 1: not take Susan to Steamers because that's part of like,
Speaker 1: you know, my sweet memories with the past and whatever
Speaker 1: type of thing, and I don't want to. I don't know,
Speaker 1: it's just kind of a weird thing to me. Jenny,
Speaker 1: what do you think weigh on in this?
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I'm looking at a time right now. I
Speaker 2: think it's okay as long as you don't bring up
Speaker 2: the past relationship. I think that like you don't say, like, oh,
Speaker 2: I love I used to come here with so and tell, like,
Speaker 2: if you still like that place, still go there, but
Speaker 2: don't bring out that you used to bring so and
Speaker 2: so there.
Speaker 1: What's your favorite movie with like with Andrew?
Speaker 4: Oh, I don't know, we don't watch.
Speaker 6: All Okay, but let's say that your favorite movie is Survivor,
Speaker 6: Like you watch Survivor, new boyfriend, Like, if you didn't
Speaker 6: have Andrew anymore, if you guys broke up, you got
Speaker 6: a new boyfriend, and your new boyfriend's like, let's watch Survivor.
Speaker 3: Would you?
Speaker 4: Yes?
Speaker 1: You would? Interesting?
Speaker 5: Okay, it's something that she likes and doesn't matter who
Speaker 5: she's doing a way I feel, yeah, yeah, Anywaykay.
Speaker 1: No, I'm trying to think there's any other examples of, like,
Speaker 1: you know, like an activity that you liked, like motorcycle
Speaker 1: riding or flying or golf or something like that.
Speaker 5: I also, like, I called my old boyfriend Boo, and
Speaker 5: I called my new boyfriend Boo.
Speaker 1: Just no, that's wrong. Are you serious? That is wrong?
Speaker 3: And then yeah, I don't know that's their nickname.
Speaker 1: When I first dated Susan, she would call me love
Speaker 1: Bunny or something like that. And I don't remember it
Speaker 1: because she doesn't call me that anymore. But this is
Speaker 1: a long time ago. And and I thought, i'll love Bunny.
Speaker 1: That's cute. And then I saw a card that was
Speaker 1: left in her apartment that she had given to her
Speaker 1: old boyfriend Alan, and she also called him love Bunny.
Speaker 1: And I was like, I don't want his nickname.
Speaker 3: You know I don't want so She's cament.
Speaker 1: Well, no, but you love Bunny is like, you know, specific,
Speaker 1: pretty specific. So she came up with asshole. Oh and
Speaker 1: that is stuff that's stuck ever since. Thank you, Jenny.
Speaker 1: All right, Oh all right, here's our next email. Huge fan.
Speaker 1: Here you can say my name, Jessica. Please make sure
Speaker 1: Dave reads. This one came in the middle of last
Speaker 1: week and I read it. I was going to say,
Speaker 1: you didn't read it. Yeah, I've been listening forever and
Speaker 1: you guys, and I love you guys. Still getting used
Speaker 1: to fall and gone for the show. But remember when
Speaker 1: she first started out, I was so mad that Lena
Speaker 1: was gone. So I'm sure I'll get over it and
Speaker 1: love you all. I also listened to back in the
Speaker 1: Cory days. I absolutely love you all anyway. My usual
Speaker 1: routine is listening to you live on iHeart when I
Speaker 1: get to work about seven thirty to ten, then listening
Speaker 1: to that Day podcast for anything I miss, and then
Speaker 1: catching up on anything I haven't heard all the way
Speaker 1: through Minnesota. Goodbye is my absolute favorite, and I keep
Speaker 1: that as my dirty pleasure and listen usually when I'm
Speaker 1: doing laundry or cleaning at home on the days I
Speaker 1: need to pick me up. Well, I've been saving so
Speaker 1: many Minnesota goodbyes for so long that i started listening
Speaker 1: to the oldest ones to get to the current ones,
Speaker 1: and I was back in the twenty twenty episodes. So
Speaker 1: I've been listening to Minnesota goodbyes for the past week
Speaker 1: to a few weeks to catch up. I had to
Speaker 1: laugh an email in today because I was listening to
Speaker 1: an episode called Bad Etiquette question Mark on twelve twelve
Speaker 1: twenty two today, and Dave said on there that he
Speaker 1: always wanted to hike Pike's Peak, but he thinks he
Speaker 1: needs to give up on it because he'd never be
Speaker 1: able to do it, and today seven thirty one, twenty
Speaker 1: four was the day he plans to do it. As
Speaker 1: he's been off this week. I just think it's awesome
Speaker 1: that he's been working so hard and should be reaching
Speaker 1: that goal this week that has been so important to him.
Speaker 1: And then I've heard him talk about it so much.
Speaker 1: I think you should go back and listen to that
Speaker 1: episode about hiking to be so proud of himself. I
Speaker 1: didn't hear if he went today, as I know, he
Speaker 1: had some weather days picked out if he needed this
Speaker 1: week also, but I hope he did and feels great
Speaker 1: about his accomplishments. Thank you from Jessica p One listener.
Speaker 1: I would say dart lick, but I don't do that.
Speaker 1: You know, I don't remember talking about it. Yeah, well
Speaker 1: back then.
Speaker 4: But that's again that she said. You first said I'm
Speaker 4: not sure if I'd be able to do.
Speaker 1: It twelve twelve, twenty two, so I don't.
Speaker 4: I would never have part of it.
Speaker 2: I don't know if I would have been a part
Speaker 2: of it because I wasn't really on the midst of
Speaker 2: bye for a while.
Speaker 1: And I actually did the hike on not seven thirty one,
Speaker 1: but on August first, with the rain date of the second.
Speaker 1: So you know, I'm going to spend a little bit
Speaker 1: of time talking about Pike's Peak. Yes, I hear it,
Speaker 1: But the first thing that I'll say is I'm so
Speaker 1: happy that I did it. It was really tough, but
Speaker 1: I'll be perfectly honest with you, not as hard as
Speaker 1: I had anticipated. I really thought that it was going
Speaker 1: to be just a constant, bitter, awful struggle, and it
Speaker 1: really wasn't. And I think I kind of psyched myself out,
Speaker 1: knowing that you're going to climb seventy seven hundred vertical
Speaker 1: feet in thirteen miles, and I'd hiked halfway up before.
Speaker 1: But the hardest part is above timberline, where there's not
Speaker 1: much air, and that was the part that I was
Speaker 1: very intimidated by. I got a little bit past halfway
Speaker 1: and every I was so tired. I don't know why
Speaker 1: I was so tired. I would walk fifty yards and
Speaker 1: I would stop and I'd go, fuck, like what's wrong?
Speaker 1: And I'd walk another fifty yards. I get so tired
Speaker 1: I'd have and I'd say, fuck, I'm not going to
Speaker 1: make this. And I thought, well, what does turning around
Speaker 1: look like? What does giving up look like? Well, you
Speaker 1: don't give You can't catch a bus, you can't call
Speaker 1: an uber, there's no rowdes, So giving up means you
Speaker 1: either go back down or you sit in the middle
Speaker 1: of the trail and cry.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, I didn't want to go back down because you're
Speaker 1: still hiking, so I thought, well, the close the easiest
Speaker 1: way to get out of this is to keep going.
Speaker 4: At what point were you at at this about.
Speaker 1: Seven or eight miles? Yeah, with about four or five
Speaker 1: miles to go, Okay, yeah, maybe five or six miles.
Speaker 3: It makes sense that you're tired if the air is
Speaker 3: like slim.
Speaker 1: I think it was because I wasn't eating enough. I
Speaker 1: had a bunch of jerky for lunch, which is not
Speaker 1: a like high calorie necessarily maybe high fat. But but
Speaker 1: that was when I thought. I never ever came close
Speaker 1: to giving up. I was just more like, fuck, what
Speaker 1: would happen if I get and I'm not going to
Speaker 1: be able to do this? The hard part's not even
Speaker 1: here yet. You brought no I bought some cliff bars.
Speaker 1: I had about five or six cliff bars.
Speaker 4: Okay, I would have brought like a sandwich.
Speaker 1: I feel like I should have brought some real food,
Speaker 1: yeah to.
Speaker 2: Say, because like that's cliff bars and stuff. Obviously that's
Speaker 2: all super great, but you need like actual meals when
Speaker 2: you're putting in that much time on a hike.
Speaker 4: I feel like I.
Speaker 1: Was worried that it would take up too much weight.
Speaker 1: But you know what, one thing I brought that took
Speaker 1: up a decent amount of weight that I never used
Speaker 1: once was a selfie stick slash tripod. Yeah, never used it.
Speaker 1: Susan's like look, I got this for you, and it
Speaker 1: was very nice for her to get it for me.
Speaker 1: But I put it in my backpack, never touched the
Speaker 1: tripod selfie stick, and it probably weighed half a pound,
Speaker 1: which adds up.
Speaker 4: Yeah it does. Oh and you have I don't remember
Speaker 4: what kind.
Speaker 2: Of backpack you have, but you have a camelback. Okay,
Speaker 2: so it's like a nice hiking backpack.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay. Yeah. And then somebody asked about the altitude,
Speaker 1: and the altitude really didn't bother me, and that kind
Speaker 1: of psykes you out. As a matter of fact, there
Speaker 1: was a at halfway up there was a pole and
Speaker 1: it said, which is the most intimidating thing about Pike's Peak,
Speaker 1: bears lightning or outitude? And I voted altitude. For sure.
Speaker 1: We did see a bear. I forgot to mention this one. Yeah.
Speaker 1: We were about, I don't know, maybe a mile from
Speaker 1: the top, and I kept passing this guy and his
Speaker 1: kid who was twelve years old, and I'd passed them,
Speaker 1: and they'd passed me, and I'd passed them and they'd
Speaker 1: passed me. And so they go, Dave, look, and I'm
Speaker 1: like what. They point way over on the slope and
Speaker 1: I'm like what they go, it's a bear, And sure
Speaker 1: as shit, there's a black bear on the side of
Speaker 1: Pike's peak.
Speaker 4: Wow, did you have bears? Fray?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 3: Okay, big as a black bear?
Speaker 1: Like the size of.
Speaker 3: A house?
Speaker 1: No a black bear?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 1: How big is a black bear? Size of a bean
Speaker 1: bag chair?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, okay, bean bag chair with legs? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Okay, all right?
Speaker 1: Is that a good visual?
Speaker 3: Yeah, because I know exactly what a bean bag chair
Speaker 3: looks like. So black bear's not that big.
Speaker 1: He's got legs, he's not that big. Well, they come
Speaker 1: in different sizes.
Speaker 3: Too, Oh okay, yeah, just like people.
Speaker 1: And just like just like people. And then so the
Speaker 1: altitude bother me. If you want any tips about it,
Speaker 1: if you're going to go yourself, then send me an
Speaker 1: email and I will help you out. Send it to
Speaker 1: Ryan Show at ktwbat dot com. And then so my
Speaker 1: problem is, and this is something that is kind of
Speaker 1: interesting to anybody, what's next on your bucket list? And
Speaker 1: we're going to do that tomorrow on talk Back Tuesday.
Speaker 1: What's on your bucket list?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: So I don't know what to do next. I'm supposed
Speaker 1: to go to the gym later today, but I don't
Speaker 1: really have anything specific to train for now, Jenny says,
Speaker 1: we'll just train to be in shape. Okay, but isn't
Speaker 1: it good? It really helped me to like have something
Speaker 1: to look forward to.
Speaker 2: I think some people have to have that, because I
Speaker 2: mean I really needed something like that a couple of
Speaker 2: different times, which is why I've done like a couple
Speaker 2: triathlon and stuff. I needed something because I was so
Speaker 2: sick of just working out. Yeah, there was no like
Speaker 2: I was like, great, I feel good, but like I
Speaker 2: want to be like aiming at a goal.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so that you're training for to get stronger for.
Speaker 1: I don't want to do any more running. It's too
Speaker 1: hard on your body. Yeah, so no to running. I
Speaker 1: don't want to swim because I can't swim. I cannot
Speaker 1: swim a straight line. I'll never be a good swimmer.
Speaker 1: I thought about biking because they did the tour to
Speaker 1: Tanka this past weekend. Maybe biking would be a good
Speaker 1: one because you would like it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I can see you in one of those recumbent
Speaker 5: bikes where you lay down and you have like a
Speaker 5: little flag on the bike. Yes, that seems like a
Speaker 5: you kind of bike.
Speaker 1: Why am I not on a regular like.
Speaker 5: Because you're because you're on a recumbent bike. Okay, good
Speaker 5: workout though, Yeah, and then you look like a little
Speaker 5: cool dude, like on your little laydown bike with.
Speaker 1: An old man.
Speaker 3: I only ever see old men on recumbent bikes.
Speaker 1: I'll look into it. Please do run down to Eric's
Speaker 1: and see what kind of deal.
Speaker 5: Like, my dad's always wanted one, and my dad is
Speaker 5: just is a little bit older than you, and so
Speaker 5: I feel like, you know, what, if you guys want
Speaker 5: recumbent bikes, get one.
Speaker 1: What's on your bucket list? Bailey, what do you want
Speaker 1: to do?
Speaker 3: I would love to own a house some Okay, that's.
Speaker 1: A good answer, it really is.
Speaker 2: Jenny, Well, that hike I was going to do when
Speaker 2: I went to out to Seattle. Andrew and I are
Speaker 2: still considering going back out there in the fall to
Speaker 2: do it because we were really hyped for it and
Speaker 2: it didn't work out for us to do it this
Speaker 2: last time, so we're thinking about doing that.
Speaker 1: I think you should because if that's something that you
Speaker 1: wanted to do, then go do it. Yeah, yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean wisdom.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they either mat.
Speaker 2: Or There's a hike called Trolltunga in Norway that I
Speaker 2: also really really.
Speaker 1: Want to do Norway.
Speaker 3: I got the trolls on it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I'm assuming it does because it stands for
Speaker 2: I might misspeak, but I think it stands for troll's thumb.
Speaker 2: So it's just like this peak that like overlooks all
Speaker 2: this these like fjords and stuff.
Speaker 4: But it's a really long hike today.
Speaker 1: How long do you know?
Speaker 2: I think it's still you could do it in day's worth.
Speaker 2: It probably is close to like somewhere probably twelve to
Speaker 2: fifteen is.
Speaker 3: While I looked it up. Oh my god, it's gorgeous.
Speaker 2: Yes, So that's like a hike. I don't know. I've
Speaker 2: been wanting to go to Norway. That's like the next
Speaker 2: country on my life.
Speaker 1: That sounds cool, doesn't it cool? Yeah? I have no
Speaker 1: answers in going to Iceland really because I feel like
Speaker 1: I don't need to see Iceland because I've seen everybody's
Speaker 1: pictures of Iceland, so I don't really feel like I
Speaker 1: need to go.
Speaker 4: But there's no difference from going and seeing pictures.
Speaker 1: No, no, there's no question. Yeah, I just like Norway
