WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.280 --> 00:00:03.080 And here we go with a Minnesota good bye. Let's 2 00:00:03.080 --> 00:00:05.040 see if anybody else has got a story about pooping 3 00:00:05.040 --> 00:00:08.519 their pants, we will you know, I think everybody does, 4 00:00:08.599 --> 00:00:10.560 but most people don't want to share it. You know, 5 00:00:10.599 --> 00:00:12.400 when I had an idea, you should write this town. Yeah, 6 00:00:12.560 --> 00:00:14.320 I had an idea when I was walking or riding 7 00:00:14.320 --> 00:00:16.879 the bike yesterday. On a scale of one to ten, 8 00:00:17.039 --> 00:00:22.079 how happy are you? And it could be anonymous because 9 00:00:22.079 --> 00:00:24.000 you would text in we don't know your name, we 10 00:00:24.039 --> 00:00:26.280 don't know anything about you when you text. So maybe 11 00:00:26.320 --> 00:00:29.960 we should do that tomorrow on a scale of one 12 00:00:29.960 --> 00:00:32.640 to ten, how happy are you? Because I'm curious how 13 00:00:32.640 --> 00:00:35.200 happy people are? And it made me think, like, you know, 14 00:00:35.240 --> 00:00:38.520 you're walking along the you know, riding along the trail yesterday, 15 00:00:38.960 --> 00:00:41.079 and there was it was pretty busy. It was right 16 00:00:41.119 --> 00:00:43.560 after work, four to five ish or so, and it 17 00:00:43.640 --> 00:00:45.719 was pretty busy, so you weave around a lot of people, 18 00:00:45.719 --> 00:00:48.280 and people would weave around you, and I thought, you know, 19 00:00:48.439 --> 00:00:51.960 you see somebody out there walking along. Are they happy? 20 00:00:52.520 --> 00:00:56.159 Are they out walking because they're so grief stricken that they, 21 00:00:56.359 --> 00:00:57.880 you know, just need to get out of the house. 22 00:00:58.320 --> 00:01:01.280 Or are they depressed or anxious or maybe they're depressed, 23 00:01:01.280 --> 00:01:03.479 but they're still happy. I don't know if that's possible. Yeah, 24 00:01:03.520 --> 00:01:06.640 but I would say I'm pretty happy. I have my 25 00:01:06.680 --> 00:01:09.879 peaks and valleys. I'm generally a happy person because I've 26 00:01:09.959 --> 00:01:12.079 got it pretty good. Yeah, I don't have a lot 27 00:01:12.159 --> 00:01:16.719 to be unhappy about. Yeah, but I would say I'm 28 00:01:16.719 --> 00:01:19.719 probably a seven. I average a seven. 29 00:01:20.319 --> 00:01:20.760 Yeah. 30 00:01:20.920 --> 00:01:25.280 I think it's really subjective because if I, like, if 31 00:01:25.319 --> 00:01:27.959 I analyze how happy I am, like in a moment, 32 00:01:28.480 --> 00:01:31.799 I feel like I could always be happier. But if 33 00:01:31.799 --> 00:01:33.959 I look at like my life as a whole, I 34 00:01:33.959 --> 00:01:37.760 think I'm pretty happy. Like I might be lonely sometimes, 35 00:01:37.840 --> 00:01:39.480 but I like my life and I think it's really 36 00:01:39.560 --> 00:01:43.799 fun and interesting and I like living every single day. 37 00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:48.560 So I would say that that equates happiness. But if 38 00:01:48.599 --> 00:01:50.680 I was saying, like, Bailey, are you happy right now? 39 00:01:51.400 --> 00:01:53.799 It would be hard to determine that unless I was 40 00:01:53.840 --> 00:01:56.959 like walking down the middle of Main Street, USA, Okay 41 00:01:57.239 --> 00:01:58.000 in Disney World. 42 00:02:00.319 --> 00:02:02.599 Yeah, I mean I have my moments. I'm like everybody else, 43 00:02:02.599 --> 00:02:06.120 but I think that people. You know, I've said this before. 44 00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:09.400 I'm just a generally happy person. I don't have a 45 00:02:09.400 --> 00:02:11.719 whole lot I can pick out things to complain about, 46 00:02:11.759 --> 00:02:15.879 and I do, but they're usually dumb things like good, Bailey, 47 00:02:16.120 --> 00:02:20.680 the Caribou coffee today is really inconsistent and bad good. 48 00:02:22.039 --> 00:02:24.360 But I don't sit there and go, God, my kids 49 00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:26.599 are rotten and my job is rotten. 50 00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:29.360 We're both optimists, I think, And do you think so? 51 00:02:29.639 --> 00:02:30.439 Yeah, okay, good. 52 00:02:30.479 --> 00:02:31.560 I don't think you're a pessimist. 53 00:02:31.719 --> 00:02:36.280 I don't really think I can be pessimistic sometimes. I 54 00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:39.199 have a friend who's sometimes very difficult because she is 55 00:02:39.240 --> 00:02:41.840 the ultimate glass is half empty kind of a person. 56 00:02:42.479 --> 00:02:46.240 And if you're listening, you know I love you and 57 00:02:46.280 --> 00:02:49.479 I've told you this. I said, you need to not 58 00:02:50.680 --> 00:02:53.080 make the worst case scenario happen in your head every 59 00:02:53.080 --> 00:02:55.560 time a new story came out a couple of Saturdays 60 00:02:55.560 --> 00:02:57.919 that there was a data breach on Facebook and a 61 00:02:58.000 --> 00:03:01.439 data breach on Google or Yahoo or whatever it was. 62 00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:03.879 And she's like, oh my god, I've spent the morning 63 00:03:03.960 --> 00:03:05.879 changing all of my past codes and now I'm worried 64 00:03:05.919 --> 00:03:09.240 somebody's gonna steal my identity. And I'm like, You've got 65 00:03:09.280 --> 00:03:13.479 to stop going to the darkest place possible. Yeah, And 66 00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:17.479 I think that just some people are naturally that. 67 00:03:17.479 --> 00:03:20.520 Way, yeah, or your mind jumps to the worst case scenario, 68 00:03:20.680 --> 00:03:23.159 and mine always like I always try and see the 69 00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:26.319 bright side of anything, Like even if I got into 70 00:03:26.319 --> 00:03:29.719 a car accident, I'd be like, well, at least I'm alive, 71 00:03:29.919 --> 00:03:33.000 and at least I have decent insurance. You bet. 72 00:03:33.319 --> 00:03:36.400 Yeah, yeah, good. That's a good mindset to have. All right. 73 00:03:36.479 --> 00:03:40.520 So a couple of emails, it says Minnesota, Goodbye. Brushes 74 00:03:40.520 --> 00:03:44.400 with fame, Donna writes in and sayers, I've had a 75 00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:47.680 couple of brushes with fame, most recently Dave Grohl in Nashville, 76 00:03:47.840 --> 00:03:49.400 who was super cool and fun to hang out with 77 00:03:49.599 --> 00:03:53.360 a couple of hours. And way back when Fergie from 78 00:03:53.400 --> 00:03:56.400 Toto used to play for years as a member of 79 00:03:56.439 --> 00:03:59.199 our country club in Rochester, he was cool and interesting 80 00:03:59.240 --> 00:04:01.439 to talk to. And also Matt Damon played in a 81 00:04:01.479 --> 00:04:04.680 charity tournament and hung out at the bar for hours afterwards. 82 00:04:04.759 --> 00:04:08.639 Oh that's some pretty big celebrities. So all my experiences 83 00:04:08.639 --> 00:04:11.360 have been super positive. Curious to see who else has 84 00:04:11.400 --> 00:04:15.039 had these brushes with fame. Love y'all. You brighten my days. 85 00:04:15.080 --> 00:04:17.920 Thank you, Donna. I don't think I've had a organic 86 00:04:18.040 --> 00:04:20.759 celebrity encounter. Every one of my celebrity encounters has been 87 00:04:20.800 --> 00:04:22.079 because of what we do. 88 00:04:22.319 --> 00:04:27.560 Yeah, I that, Yeah, I don't meet celebrities period like ever. 89 00:04:28.639 --> 00:04:31.399 I mean I saw I always tell a story about 90 00:04:31.399 --> 00:04:34.720 seeing Post Malone at Disney World. I saw him, made 91 00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:36.959 eye contact him three times. We did not speak. I 92 00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:40.680 also saw Zach Braff at Disney World and squeezed a 93 00:04:40.720 --> 00:04:43.000 whoope cushion when I said hello. So it was hello 94 00:04:44.199 --> 00:04:46.319 and he I don't even think he looked at me. 95 00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:50.720 So I don't meet many celebrities unless it's like a 96 00:04:50.879 --> 00:04:54.399 meet and greet, because then I'll like then it's but 97 00:04:54.560 --> 00:04:56.879 that doesn't feel organic like you were saying, yeah, so 98 00:04:57.240 --> 00:04:58.120 my people. 99 00:04:58.319 --> 00:05:00.360 My only organic that I can think of is Shaq 100 00:05:00.439 --> 00:05:02.160 was in town for the super Bowl and he flew 101 00:05:02.199 --> 00:05:05.319 into the Flying Cloud Airport instead of the Big one 102 00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:08.120 because the Big one was too crowded because everybody was 103 00:05:08.120 --> 00:05:12.600 flying in. So Shaq was there in the lobby and 104 00:05:13.040 --> 00:05:15.120 I was on the phone with Steve and Fallon and 105 00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:17.480 I said, Shack's in the lobby. He's right over there, 106 00:05:17.959 --> 00:05:20.319 and they said, don't be a whimp, go over and 107 00:05:20.319 --> 00:05:23.319 say hi to him. I'm like, the challenge accepted. So 108 00:05:23.879 --> 00:05:27.319 I went over and I said I'm a local DJ. 109 00:05:27.839 --> 00:05:29.920 And he was very fun and he said, I'm a 110 00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:31.639 DJ too. He goes, I go to the clubs, I 111 00:05:31.639 --> 00:05:34.959 play white Boy Rock. I said, oh, what's white boy rock? 112 00:05:35.000 --> 00:05:38.519 He said, Rick Springfield. White people love Rick Springfield. And 113 00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:40.879 he was just charming and funny and he didn't have 114 00:05:41.000 --> 00:05:43.079 to be Yeah, he could have said nice to meet you, 115 00:05:43.399 --> 00:05:46.120 right and then look back at his phone. Was tall, 116 00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:47.480 he was sitting down. 117 00:05:47.600 --> 00:05:48.439 Oh, thank goodness. 118 00:05:48.519 --> 00:05:55.040 Yes, but that was my only real non station celebrity 119 00:05:55.160 --> 00:05:55.639 in County. 120 00:05:55.720 --> 00:05:55.920 Yeah. 121 00:05:55.920 --> 00:05:57.920 Anytime I see one, I just think, oh, that person 122 00:05:58.000 --> 00:06:00.519 looks a lot like so and so. Even if it 123 00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:02.560 is that person, I'll just be like, Wow, what a doppelganger? 124 00:06:02.600 --> 00:06:04.199 Did I ever tell you the story? I read this? 125 00:06:04.519 --> 00:06:07.000 You know? The Beatles. George Harrison was the guitar player 126 00:06:07.040 --> 00:06:10.519 for the Beatles, and in the seventies he was extremely famous. 127 00:06:10.519 --> 00:06:12.639 Couldn't go anywhere without people going, oh, my god, you're 128 00:06:12.639 --> 00:06:17.720 George Harrison. So he bought a really shitty car and 129 00:06:17.759 --> 00:06:20.959 when he would drive around LA and Hollywood, he knew 130 00:06:20.959 --> 00:06:22.560 that people would look at him and go, God, that 131 00:06:22.600 --> 00:06:25.480 guy looks like George Harrison, but it wouldn't be George Harrison, 132 00:06:25.480 --> 00:06:27.759 because George Harrison would be in a Mercedes or something. 133 00:06:27.800 --> 00:06:30.759 He wouldn't be driving that shitty about right. Yeah, he 134 00:06:31.040 --> 00:06:31.800 gets that all the time. 135 00:06:32.399 --> 00:06:32.519 Uh. 136 00:06:32.920 --> 00:06:35.680 Here we go with a poop story, and Jennifer writes in, 137 00:06:35.839 --> 00:06:37.560 I heard your story about pooping in the bushes. I 138 00:06:37.600 --> 00:06:39.680 had to share this. A couple of weeks ago, I 139 00:06:39.759 --> 00:06:42.360 pulled into work after running some afternoon errands. I'm walking 140 00:06:42.399 --> 00:06:45.120 past the building. I catch a glimpse of a mushy 141 00:06:45.240 --> 00:06:49.160 substance out of the corner of my eye. I immediately 142 00:06:49.160 --> 00:06:51.519 know it's a bodily function gone wrong. Mind you, this 143 00:06:51.639 --> 00:06:54.839 is literally right outside the front door of work. I 144 00:06:54.839 --> 00:06:57.160 cannot bring myself to investigate further. I go in and 145 00:06:57.199 --> 00:06:59.800 share that somebody had an accident in some kind. Wasn't 146 00:06:59.800 --> 00:07:02.279 sure it was puke or poop, So we did what 147 00:07:02.319 --> 00:07:04.800 any office coals would do. We pulled up the cameras. 148 00:07:05.160 --> 00:07:09.680 What we witnessed was something we can never unsee. Poor 149 00:07:09.720 --> 00:07:13.199 woman on video visibly struggling with some tummy troubles, pacing, 150 00:07:13.279 --> 00:07:15.560 shaking hands. You could almost see the sweat on her brow. 151 00:07:16.040 --> 00:07:18.199 Shoot it out of options and had to make a decision. 152 00:07:18.199 --> 00:07:20.279 That pole decision was to pull her pants down in 153 00:07:20.319 --> 00:07:22.800 a very public place and have an explosive shit in 154 00:07:22.839 --> 00:07:26.639 the rocks. Then she pulled out some sort of small 155 00:07:26.680 --> 00:07:28.639 tissue out of her purse and gave a very half 156 00:07:28.680 --> 00:07:32.600 assed wipe and threw it on the sidewalk, proceeded to 157 00:07:32.600 --> 00:07:34.040 pull up her pants and go on with her life. 158 00:07:34.079 --> 00:07:36.000 After a good laugh, we discussed what we would do 159 00:07:36.040 --> 00:07:38.800 in that situation. It was unanimous we would poop our 160 00:07:38.839 --> 00:07:45.399 pants and head home to clean up. What would you do? Okay, Well, 161 00:07:46.240 --> 00:07:49.000 I think that there's got to be somewhere better than 162 00:07:49.120 --> 00:07:51.800 on the sidewalk in front of work, in a public 163 00:07:52.439 --> 00:07:54.240 around the corner, because you know what, even if you 164 00:07:54.399 --> 00:07:57.199 have to go suddenly, you have at least a few 165 00:07:57.240 --> 00:08:02.959 minutes of warning, yeah, and probably maybe thirty seconds of 166 00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:06.199 like there ain't no going back exactly. So you duck 167 00:08:06.240 --> 00:08:10.199 behind a dumpster, or you'd get the trash can out, 168 00:08:10.720 --> 00:08:12.800 or you get behind a bush or something. But to 169 00:08:12.839 --> 00:08:18.720 go right on the sidewalk is like, that's just raw, bro. 170 00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:20.680 Just find a bush. There's got to be a bush, 171 00:08:21.000 --> 00:08:24.879 smart thing, Yeah, somewhere that is so. I love how 172 00:08:26.199 --> 00:08:29.360 stories because they're so funny. I like that. I've never 173 00:08:29.439 --> 00:08:32.919 had a poop in my pants situation, but that means 174 00:08:32.919 --> 00:08:34.039 I'm probably overdue. 175 00:08:34.360 --> 00:08:36.600 Right down, Where did you take an emergency poop? 176 00:08:36.840 --> 00:08:37.720 Emergency poop? 177 00:08:37.759 --> 00:08:40.000 Because we've done that a couple of times on the show. 178 00:08:40.399 --> 00:08:43.080 And I remember a friend of mine. She was in 179 00:08:43.120 --> 00:08:46.759 the laundry room, I think at her apartment, and she's like, 180 00:08:46.840 --> 00:08:48.440 I ain't gonna make it upstairs. I'm not going to 181 00:08:48.480 --> 00:08:51.639 make it, So she pooped in the laundry room trash can. 182 00:08:51.759 --> 00:08:53.559 Oh my gosh, Well at least it's a trash can. 183 00:08:53.720 --> 00:08:57.679 Right, Yeah, Happy day my favorite crew once again, Christia 184 00:08:57.720 --> 00:09:01.799 with another rando question, What is the most sentimental valuable 185 00:09:01.879 --> 00:09:04.679 thing that you own, so not money wise, besides pets, 186 00:09:04.679 --> 00:09:06.559 because we all know our babies mean the world to us. 187 00:09:06.960 --> 00:09:09.639 Mine would definitely be the velveteen rabbit I got when 188 00:09:09.639 --> 00:09:12.039 I was one year old. He still sleeps in my 189 00:09:12.080 --> 00:09:14.720 bed thirty five years later. Or my dog plush that 190 00:09:14.759 --> 00:09:17.159 I got to replace my baby dog Tilly who we 191 00:09:17.240 --> 00:09:20.000 lost enough fire. Oh but it actually has her caller 192 00:09:20.080 --> 00:09:21.799 on it too. Sorry it might be a little sappy, 193 00:09:21.799 --> 00:09:25.840 but hey, love you guys, all right. From Kristen, I 194 00:09:25.879 --> 00:09:28.519 hadn't thought about that. I actually have a few things 195 00:09:29.200 --> 00:09:33.480 from my mom and dad that are sentimental. I would 196 00:09:33.480 --> 00:09:38.120 say my dad got the Distinguished Flying Cross in World 197 00:09:38.120 --> 00:09:40.879 War Two, which is I think one of the highest 198 00:09:40.919 --> 00:09:44.600 honors you can get, and I still have it. You 199 00:09:44.679 --> 00:09:46.960 had to be a pilot or an airman, that's what 200 00:09:47.000 --> 00:09:50.919 they called him back then, airman, and you had to 201 00:09:50.960 --> 00:09:54.639 fly in battle and combat, and so he has the 202 00:09:54.679 --> 00:10:00.279 Distinguished Flying Cross. So I would say probably that, but 203 00:10:00.879 --> 00:10:02.919 I could think about other things too. 204 00:10:03.120 --> 00:10:08.000 Yeah, my family is not really for sentimental things. 205 00:10:08.759 --> 00:10:11.039 I do have. My mom got me this. 206 00:10:12.559 --> 00:10:16.559 Kind of like it's a framed sort of print of 207 00:10:16.840 --> 00:10:21.080 something my grandpa who is now gone, and I really 208 00:10:21.080 --> 00:10:24.320 loved him, we were pretty close. But he wrote down 209 00:10:24.720 --> 00:10:29.399 the lyrics to You'll Never Walk Alone because he read 210 00:10:29.440 --> 00:10:33.679 it at church the week before he died, and he 211 00:10:33.720 --> 00:10:35.679 had to write it on a big on a piece 212 00:10:35.720 --> 00:10:38.399 of paper so he could read it. And my grandma 213 00:10:38.559 --> 00:10:42.559 gave me that piece of paper and my mom had 214 00:10:42.559 --> 00:10:45.120 it like printed on this like really pretty piece of 215 00:10:45.159 --> 00:10:47.559 like wood, and I have that and it's just in 216 00:10:47.600 --> 00:10:51.759 my grandpa's handwriting, and it's nice and big and it 217 00:10:51.799 --> 00:10:55.360 makes me think of him. So I think that's pretty sentimental. 218 00:10:55.440 --> 00:10:57.519 We don't really like. Yeah, we don't really hold on 219 00:10:57.639 --> 00:10:59.799 to sentimental like things. 220 00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:03.159 Okay, Okay, some people don't. Yeah, And I think sometimes 221 00:11:03.200 --> 00:11:04.879 as you get a bit older, you get a little 222 00:11:04.879 --> 00:11:05.799 bit more sentimental. 223 00:11:05.960 --> 00:11:08.159 I do have a dress that belonged to my mother 224 00:11:08.320 --> 00:11:11.240 that I wear occasionally, that she would wear at like 225 00:11:11.559 --> 00:11:15.279 work events like work a not an award ceremonies, but 226 00:11:15.360 --> 00:11:17.200 just she would wear them at work. And I always 227 00:11:17.200 --> 00:11:18.519 thought my mom was so cool when I was a 228 00:11:18.600 --> 00:11:20.600 kid because she was like a career woman. So now 229 00:11:20.600 --> 00:11:23.679 I own her dress and it's got sunflowers on it. 230 00:11:23.639 --> 00:11:25.559 So ah, so cute. 231 00:11:25.720 --> 00:11:26.279 That's very sure. 232 00:11:26.399 --> 00:11:26.679 Yeah. 233 00:11:26.720 --> 00:11:28.320 I found the lyrics too. You'll Never Walk Alone. 234 00:11:28.320 --> 00:11:29.039 Oh, I love it. 235 00:11:29.039 --> 00:11:33.320 It's from the show. It's from some show Rogers and Hammerstein. 236 00:11:33.440 --> 00:11:34.440 I think it's Carousel. 237 00:11:34.720 --> 00:11:37.840 Okay, sounds right. So let me read this to you. 238 00:11:37.840 --> 00:11:40.600 You'll never walk alone. When you walk through a storm, 239 00:11:40.679 --> 00:11:42.600 keep your chin up high, and don't be afraid of 240 00:11:42.639 --> 00:11:44.600 the dark. At the end of the storm is a 241 00:11:44.639 --> 00:11:47.360 golden sky and the sweet silver song of a lark. 242 00:11:48.159 --> 00:11:50.440 Walk on through the wind, walk on through the rain, 243 00:11:50.840 --> 00:11:53.919 though your dreams may be tossed and blown, walk on, 244 00:11:54.159 --> 00:11:56.759 walk on with hope In your heart and you'll never 245 00:11:56.840 --> 00:12:00.039 walk alone. You'll never walk alone. Oh that's pretty and 246 00:12:00.320 --> 00:12:00.679 very pretty. 247 00:12:00.720 --> 00:12:03.279 Is my Grandpa's favorite song is You'll Never Walk Along. 248 00:12:03.360 --> 00:12:05.759 I don't know how it goes, but I've definitely yeah, 249 00:12:05.799 --> 00:12:10.519 that's really that's beautiful walk No, no, no, Now you're 250 00:12:10.600 --> 00:12:16.200 ruining it. Now you're ruining it. Okay, we skipped it. 251 00:12:16.639 --> 00:12:19.039 We talked yesterday about banned baby names, and there was 252 00:12:19.080 --> 00:12:21.840 an article that said in the United States, there's certain 253 00:12:21.879 --> 00:12:24.039 names you're not allowed to name your baby, and one 254 00:12:24.200 --> 00:12:26.600 was king, and one was Queen, and one was Majesty 255 00:12:26.679 --> 00:12:30.120 and then there's Adolf Hitler and Santa Claus. And we said, 256 00:12:30.120 --> 00:12:32.440 I don't think that's true. And then some people debated 257 00:12:32.480 --> 00:12:35.120 and said, yeah, it is true in some country or 258 00:12:35.159 --> 00:12:40.240 some states or whatever. But they say this from Naomi says, 259 00:12:40.279 --> 00:12:43.320 I believe it's Australia where they are illegal, so they 260 00:12:43.320 --> 00:12:47.600 have banned baby names in Australia. I'm trying to blow 261 00:12:47.679 --> 00:12:50.240 up her text and I'm having a little difficulty. But 262 00:12:50.360 --> 00:12:55.600 for example, King, Queen, and Pope, as well as offensive terms, 263 00:12:55.679 --> 00:13:00.799 brand names, and names associated with religious figures, mythical injuries. 264 00:13:00.840 --> 00:13:07.559 For example, Baron Duke Princess admiral are not allowed in Australia. 265 00:13:07.720 --> 00:13:11.639 I know a princess, so that's hmm okay, okay. I 266 00:13:11.679 --> 00:13:13.639 mean we all said we knew like either somebody who's 267 00:13:13.679 --> 00:13:16.200 named King or Kingston or King something or other. 268 00:13:16.639 --> 00:13:19.120 Yeah, that's pretty common, all. 269 00:13:19.080 --> 00:13:22.279 Right, next one, please don't say my name. You were 270 00:13:22.279 --> 00:13:24.519 talking about something that somebody said that's stuck with you. 271 00:13:25.480 --> 00:13:27.759 Back in college, I started weight watchers. I lost a 272 00:13:27.759 --> 00:13:30.480 bunch of weight. I was close to graduating. My dad said, 273 00:13:31.159 --> 00:13:33.000 it's good you lost the weight. It's easier to get 274 00:13:33.000 --> 00:13:36.039 a job. Oh oush. My weight has gone up and 275 00:13:36.080 --> 00:13:37.960 down over the decades, and I still think about this 276 00:13:38.039 --> 00:13:40.000 comment when I go in for an interview on a 277 00:13:40.039 --> 00:13:43.360 bigger size. That's it. I hope you have a wonderful day, 278 00:13:43.559 --> 00:13:46.240 I think as a parent. I started thinking about this yesterday. 279 00:13:46.360 --> 00:13:49.960 I read her email last night at home, and I thought, God, 280 00:13:50.000 --> 00:13:52.879 is there anything I've ever said to Alison or Carson 281 00:13:53.799 --> 00:13:57.639 that is stuck with them? Probably I said something to 282 00:13:57.679 --> 00:13:59.519 Carson one time because he was so shy. He was 283 00:13:59.559 --> 00:14:04.559 about six great and it was annoyingly shy. It's like, Carson, 284 00:14:05.480 --> 00:14:08.519 make an effort. And I said something like shy people 285 00:14:08.600 --> 00:14:12.639 are losers. And he said, so you're saying I'm a loser. 286 00:14:13.679 --> 00:14:16.440 And I said, it's not what I meant. And it 287 00:14:16.559 --> 00:14:18.480 wasn't what I meant, but I was like I was 288 00:14:18.519 --> 00:14:21.279 trying to I don't know what I was trying to do, 289 00:14:21.320 --> 00:14:23.200 but I said, shy people are losers. And I hope 290 00:14:23.200 --> 00:14:26.320 it didn't stick with him. I don't want to know. 291 00:14:27.840 --> 00:14:33.399 He is still so painfully quiet, and it's funny because 292 00:14:33.399 --> 00:14:36.000 he deals with other people all through his day with 293 00:14:36.080 --> 00:14:39.799 his tour manager biz, at his job, and he's got 294 00:14:39.840 --> 00:14:41.679 a ton of friends. He lives with three guys, he's 295 00:14:41.720 --> 00:14:43.759 got tons of friends. Whenever he comes home, he's gone 296 00:14:43.799 --> 00:14:47.600 all the time with his buddies. So he's not boring. 297 00:14:48.639 --> 00:14:51.200 But like when you have a conversation with Carson, you 298 00:14:51.279 --> 00:14:52.879 got to do all the you got to bring up 299 00:14:52.879 --> 00:14:56.679 every subject. And I've really tried to train him, like 300 00:14:57.639 --> 00:15:01.200 ask how somebody's day was, what'd you do this weekend? Yeah? 301 00:15:01.240 --> 00:15:02.720 What do you like to do when you're not working? 302 00:15:03.320 --> 00:15:05.000 And he's just not so. 303 00:15:04.840 --> 00:15:07.799 He does take like practice though, because I once had 304 00:15:07.840 --> 00:15:10.360 a friend of mine tell me that I was a 305 00:15:10.399 --> 00:15:13.600 bad friend because I never asked him many questions. Yeah, 306 00:15:13.600 --> 00:15:16.759 but I thought like, oh, we're just having a conversation, 307 00:15:16.840 --> 00:15:18.960 Like if you want to say something, then you should 308 00:15:19.000 --> 00:15:22.200 say it. But now I'm trying to be better in general. 309 00:15:22.600 --> 00:15:24.559 I mean that was like fifteen years ago. But like, 310 00:15:25.039 --> 00:15:27.279 if I'm having a conversation with somebody and I realize 311 00:15:27.320 --> 00:15:29.840 that I'm talking a lot because they keep asking me questions, 312 00:15:29.879 --> 00:15:31.919 I'd be like barely ask them a question. Yeah, in 313 00:15:31.960 --> 00:15:34.759 my brain, So it definitely is like I don't think 314 00:15:34.759 --> 00:15:36.000 it's something you just like pick up. 315 00:15:36.039 --> 00:15:37.519 You have to like constantly work at it. 316 00:15:37.559 --> 00:15:39.279 I think so. Yeah, and some people are better, Like 317 00:15:39.279 --> 00:15:41.720 my friend Curtis is the best. You almost feel like 318 00:15:41.759 --> 00:15:45.960 we go to lunch. It feels like a job interview sometimes. Yeah, 319 00:15:46.039 --> 00:15:48.159 So tell me how is Alison doing it? And how 320 00:15:48.240 --> 00:15:50.039 far along is she with her new baby? Yeah? Does 321 00:15:50.080 --> 00:15:51.639 she have any new baby names picked out? How do 322 00:15:51.720 --> 00:15:54.320 the other girls feel about becoming big sisters? And it's 323 00:15:54.360 --> 00:15:57.559 like I'll answer all these questions and then I'd like, well, 324 00:15:57.639 --> 00:16:00.399 tell me what's going on with your work? Oh, it's fine, anyway, 325 00:16:00.440 --> 00:16:04.960 more about Alison. So some people are just really good 326 00:16:05.000 --> 00:16:07.440 at that. I think he really enjoys that, all right, 327 00:16:07.519 --> 00:16:12.840 Next one tap that elite. Here we go. Hello, It's Jess, 328 00:16:13.080 --> 00:16:17.519 longtime listener, first time emailer, and random texter. When we 329 00:16:17.600 --> 00:16:20.120 text in questions, does it have a running list of 330 00:16:20.159 --> 00:16:23.320 all the messages we have sent or do people usually 331 00:16:23.360 --> 00:16:25.440 sign their name? I've always been curious. I keep meaning 332 00:16:25.440 --> 00:16:27.639 to send this message when I'm listening, and I keep forgetting, 333 00:16:28.080 --> 00:16:30.000 but I decided to send it while I binge me 334 00:16:30.080 --> 00:16:32.840 some Minnesota Goodbye? Can I get a sticker that is 335 00:16:33.320 --> 00:16:36.440 Jess up in Coon Rapids? How would you answer that question? 336 00:16:36.480 --> 00:16:40.120 Yeah, so when you text in, your number is attached 337 00:16:40.159 --> 00:16:43.000 to it, so we can click the phone number and 338 00:16:43.080 --> 00:16:46.320 see your like bank of all the text messages that 339 00:16:46.360 --> 00:16:51.320 you've sent in since we started the service. But we 340 00:16:51.399 --> 00:16:54.799 don't like no, it's it just seems anonymous as it's 341 00:16:54.840 --> 00:16:57.200 like popping up unless you like sign your name. So 342 00:16:57.240 --> 00:16:59.279 we do have a handful of people who sign their name, 343 00:16:59.360 --> 00:17:02.320 and so then we can see like, Okay, so and 344 00:17:02.320 --> 00:17:05.440 So is texting us again, like Rowan's texting us, Michelle 345 00:17:05.519 --> 00:17:09.160 is texting us. And that's I honestly like it when 346 00:17:09.160 --> 00:17:11.599 people sign their name, especially if they're a frequent texter, 347 00:17:12.000 --> 00:17:15.519 because sometimes I just like memorize the last four digits 348 00:17:15.519 --> 00:17:16.920 of the phone number, and I'm like, oh, this is 349 00:17:16.960 --> 00:17:19.640 the person who texts in frequently. And then I check 350 00:17:19.720 --> 00:17:21.680 by clicking the number to go back and see, like, 351 00:17:21.880 --> 00:17:23.839 is this the person I was thinking of? So yeah, 352 00:17:23.839 --> 00:17:24.599 we can see like. 353 00:17:25.000 --> 00:17:27.559 Your history, your history, but we don't know your name. No, 354 00:17:27.599 --> 00:17:28.599 by default, we don't. 355 00:17:28.440 --> 00:17:28.880 Know your name. 356 00:17:28.880 --> 00:17:31.759 We don't know like who you are unless we click 357 00:17:31.799 --> 00:17:35.880 on the number and find out using context clues. 358 00:17:36.920 --> 00:17:40.720 Yeah, yeah, okay, next one, please don't say my name. 359 00:17:41.559 --> 00:17:43.400 I have something been going through wondered if any of 360 00:17:43.480 --> 00:17:46.680 you have had experience with it. I worked in sales 361 00:17:46.680 --> 00:17:48.759 for a tech company for the past six years in 362 00:17:48.799 --> 00:17:51.599 the building right next to your space Needle studio. The 363 00:17:51.640 --> 00:17:55.200 first few years were great, great people, great benefits, great 364 00:17:55.240 --> 00:17:59.359 work life balance. However, last couple of years, the best 365 00:17:59.359 --> 00:18:01.559 people of the come have left. It's a high school 366 00:18:01.599 --> 00:18:03.960 click and directors are promoted based on how well they 367 00:18:04.000 --> 00:18:07.160 suck the VP's ass. It has nothing to do with merit. 368 00:18:07.240 --> 00:18:09.680 I have felt pushed out and gasoling into thinking I 369 00:18:09.720 --> 00:18:14.119 am the problem. You're too negative. Smile more, stay positive 370 00:18:14.160 --> 00:18:16.599 and manifest the big deal, and big deals will come 371 00:18:16.640 --> 00:18:19.880 your way. This is truly the advice they give. Do 372 00:18:20.079 --> 00:18:23.640 you all or anyone listening have experience with being pushed 373 00:18:23.640 --> 00:18:25.960 out of a job. The vibe I'm getting is the 374 00:18:26.039 --> 00:18:28.400 new hires are two naive to know any different. So 375 00:18:28.440 --> 00:18:30.279 senior leadership is trying to get rid of the most 376 00:18:30.319 --> 00:18:33.440 tenured grips that have an opinion so they can keep 377 00:18:33.440 --> 00:18:36.799 the smiling new people. Any advice or insight would be 378 00:18:36.799 --> 00:18:41.119 greatly appreciated. Thanks for doing what you do. I don't 379 00:18:41.400 --> 00:18:44.039 the only thing, and I don't want to turn this 380 00:18:44.160 --> 00:18:47.039 back on you, but I would just take a second 381 00:18:47.039 --> 00:18:50.680 to self reflect and say, am I negative? Do I 382 00:18:50.759 --> 00:18:54.319 seem grumpy or cranky around the office? And I'm going 383 00:18:54.400 --> 00:18:57.440 to guess that the answer is no, I'm fine. I 384 00:18:57.519 --> 00:18:59.200 might be a little bit pissy because of the way 385 00:18:59.200 --> 00:19:02.119 I'm treated, but I would self reflect. It's kind of 386 00:19:02.200 --> 00:19:04.559 like they say, if everybody around you is a jerk, 387 00:19:05.480 --> 00:19:07.240 you're the jerk. You ever heard that before? 388 00:19:07.519 --> 00:19:07.799 Huh? 389 00:19:07.839 --> 00:19:10.759 I heard that on a book on tape back when 390 00:19:10.759 --> 00:19:12.960 they were cassettes, and I was sitting at the airport 391 00:19:13.039 --> 00:19:15.200 somewhere waiting for a flight, and it said, and we'll 392 00:19:15.279 --> 00:19:17.759 round it up, wrap it up with this. If everybody 393 00:19:17.799 --> 00:19:21.559 around you is a jerk. You're the jerk, and I 394 00:19:21.599 --> 00:19:24.160 started to think, well, everybody around me is kind of 395 00:19:24.200 --> 00:19:27.519 a jerk, maybe I And I think I was because 396 00:19:27.519 --> 00:19:31.119 I was immature. Yeah, and I was a big man 397 00:19:31.160 --> 00:19:33.039 on the radio at twenty four years old, and I 398 00:19:33.039 --> 00:19:35.119 thought I was in the shit. So I think I 399 00:19:35.200 --> 00:19:36.920 kind of was the jerk. No, anyway, so let's go 400 00:19:36.960 --> 00:19:39.599 back to you probably are not, but it's least take 401 00:19:39.839 --> 00:19:41.279
