WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.480 --> 00:00:02.879
<v Speaker 1>Well, let's do the Minnesota Goodbye. It smells like smoking

2
00:00:02.919 --> 00:00:06.519
<v Speaker 1>the studio right now because I'm smoking. Who says does

3
00:00:06.519 --> 00:00:09.480
<v Speaker 1>at work? I'm smoking a turkey breast in the hallway?

4
00:00:09.439 --> 00:00:12.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah baby, but I am smoking on It's a little

5
00:00:12.359 --> 00:00:15.199
<v Speaker 1>crockpot looking thing that's a smoker and it smokes it

6
00:00:15.240 --> 00:00:16.519
<v Speaker 1>for an hour and a half and it cooks it

7
00:00:16.559 --> 00:00:19.120
<v Speaker 1>for an hour or something like that. And I made

8
00:00:19.120 --> 00:00:20.359
<v Speaker 1>it a couple of weeks ago and it was like, oh,

9
00:00:20.480 --> 00:00:21.879
<v Speaker 1>this is really good. So the other day I said,

10
00:00:21.920 --> 00:00:23.320
<v Speaker 1>you want me to come in and smoke a turkey

11
00:00:23.320 --> 00:00:27.559
<v Speaker 1>on Monday? And the girl who's always hungry on the show,

12
00:00:27.839 --> 00:00:31.239
<v Speaker 1>Heck Bailey Jay said yes. Jenny's like, well, I'm trying

13
00:00:31.239 --> 00:00:33.200
<v Speaker 1>to get a little healthier, but I'm in and vont

14
00:00:33.320 --> 00:00:35.280
<v Speaker 1>was in too, So right now there is a turkey

15
00:00:35.359 --> 00:00:38.200
<v Speaker 1>smoking fifteen feet away in the hallway.

16
00:00:38.560 --> 00:00:39.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah baby, I'm so excited.

17
00:00:39.920 --> 00:00:41.840
<v Speaker 3>Honestly, it smells. I mean, it smells really good. I

18
00:00:41.840 --> 00:00:45.240
<v Speaker 3>don't usually like smoked foods in general, but I want

19
00:00:45.240 --> 00:00:47.359
<v Speaker 3>to try it because I like food period.

20
00:00:47.920 --> 00:00:50.399
<v Speaker 1>I also made not to turn it into Dave's cooking corner,

21
00:00:50.679 --> 00:00:53.560
<v Speaker 1>but I made lobster mac and cheese yesterday. So I

22
00:00:53.560 --> 00:00:55.280
<v Speaker 1>went down to the grocery store and I had to

23
00:00:55.280 --> 00:01:00.759
<v Speaker 1>buy frozen lobster tails. And guess how much a frozen

24
00:01:00.799 --> 00:01:01.759
<v Speaker 1>lobster tail is?

25
00:01:02.280 --> 00:01:04.400
<v Speaker 2>Well, usually they do it by pound, don't they?

26
00:01:04.599 --> 00:01:07.920
<v Speaker 1>Or no, it was the size of cut your forearm

27
00:01:07.959 --> 00:01:09.319
<v Speaker 1>in half, and that's how big your look.

28
00:01:09.640 --> 00:01:11.519
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna say it was probably thirty five bucks.

29
00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:14.879
<v Speaker 1>Twenty bucks, wow, twenty bucks for a frozen lobster tail.

30
00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:18.120
<v Speaker 1>And I had to buy two of them because it

31
00:01:18.159 --> 00:01:20.840
<v Speaker 1>needs a cup. So this was forty dollars worth of

32
00:01:20.879 --> 00:01:25.159
<v Speaker 1>lobster just for me. Yeah, and then three different kinds

33
00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:29.439
<v Speaker 1>of cheeses. We had the cheddar Gouda and pomp up

34
00:01:28.560 --> 00:01:34.680
<v Speaker 1>pH not parmesan. God, I can't remember. Yeah, it doesn't

35
00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:39.200
<v Speaker 1>matter anyway. It was really, really really good, maybe the

36
00:01:39.280 --> 00:01:40.799
<v Speaker 1>best thing I've ever made in the crock pipe.

37
00:01:40.840 --> 00:01:43.319
<v Speaker 2>Wow, so it looks good. I saw what you post

38
00:01:43.359 --> 00:01:44.359
<v Speaker 2>it on your story.

39
00:01:44.120 --> 00:01:46.560
<v Speaker 1>Or it was on my story again I saw and.

40
00:01:46.519 --> 00:01:48.920
<v Speaker 2>I was like, oh, ye meh.

41
00:01:49.400 --> 00:01:52.280
<v Speaker 1>So So to get away from Dave's cooking corner, let's

42
00:01:52.319 --> 00:01:56.480
<v Speaker 1>move on. Good morning, says Jenny. Listen to Friday's Minnesota Goodbye.

43
00:01:56.480 --> 00:02:00.439
<v Speaker 1>You had some questions about maternity leave. Each date. An

44
00:02:00.439 --> 00:02:03.480
<v Speaker 1>employer operates differently with maternity leave, but most of the

45
00:02:03.480 --> 00:02:07.200
<v Speaker 1>time maternity leave is unpaid unless you have sick time

46
00:02:07.319 --> 00:02:09.280
<v Speaker 1>or PTO saved up to cover it. The only way

47
00:02:09.400 --> 00:02:13.280
<v Speaker 1>is to typically paid is if either your employee offers

48
00:02:13.319 --> 00:02:17.479
<v Speaker 1>paid maternity leave or offers short term disability. I didn't

49
00:02:17.479 --> 00:02:21.000
<v Speaker 1>know that. I honestly thought all this time maternity leave

50
00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:23.080
<v Speaker 1>was paid. I really did.

51
00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:26.039
<v Speaker 2>Really isn't no. My sister works for Chobanni and she

52
00:02:26.039 --> 00:02:28.840
<v Speaker 2>always had her maternity leave paid. But like it depends,

53
00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:30.800
<v Speaker 2>like that person said on the company.

54
00:02:31.120 --> 00:02:33.400
<v Speaker 1>It says beginning in twenty six or twenty twenty six,

55
00:02:33.479 --> 00:02:36.840
<v Speaker 1>Minnesota will have paid leave available for all residents that

56
00:02:36.919 --> 00:02:40.479
<v Speaker 1>live and work in Minnesota. This will be another tax

57
00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:42.879
<v Speaker 1>added to all of our paychecks, as that is how

58
00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:46.000
<v Speaker 1>the program will be funded. You will need to complete

59
00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:48.479
<v Speaker 1>an application with the state and your payment will be

60
00:02:48.479 --> 00:02:51.479
<v Speaker 1>made to you by the state, so it is essentially

61
00:02:51.520 --> 00:02:54.599
<v Speaker 1>paid FMLA. There is still a lot of unknown with

62
00:02:54.639 --> 00:02:57.199
<v Speaker 1>this new program beginning, but I'm sure more will unfold

63
00:02:57.319 --> 00:03:01.199
<v Speaker 1>next year. Hopefully this fund tidbit helps everybody in Minnesota

64
00:03:02.520 --> 00:03:04.919
<v Speaker 1>that there is hope to eventually have a paid maternity

65
00:03:05.039 --> 00:03:07.400
<v Speaker 1>leave well, I'm going to guess that the resistance to

66
00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:11.280
<v Speaker 1>paid maternity leave is people don't want to pay more taxes. So,

67
00:03:11.360 --> 00:03:14.199
<v Speaker 1>in other words, if I am not going to have kids,

68
00:03:14.680 --> 00:03:17.199
<v Speaker 1>and I've already had my kids, I'm probably not going

69
00:03:17.240 --> 00:03:19.919
<v Speaker 1>to vote for paid maternity leave. Doesn't sound like it's

70
00:03:19.960 --> 00:03:21.759
<v Speaker 1>up for a vote anymore. Sure, but it's the same

71
00:03:21.800 --> 00:03:24.960
<v Speaker 1>reason old people don't pass school board issues or school

72
00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:27.520
<v Speaker 1>bond issues because they don't have kids in school anymore.

73
00:03:27.560 --> 00:03:29.159
<v Speaker 3>But that's the future, That's what I.

74
00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:31.639
<v Speaker 1>Think it is. But people are struggle. I think the

75
00:03:31.680 --> 00:03:34.680
<v Speaker 1>thing is, especially old people might be struggling and then

76
00:03:34.719 --> 00:03:37.159
<v Speaker 1>to have to pay a bond issue because the school

77
00:03:37.159 --> 00:03:39.919
<v Speaker 1>needs a new gymnasium or you know, they need to

78
00:03:39.919 --> 00:03:41.800
<v Speaker 1>build a new school. A lot of old people. I'm

79
00:03:41.800 --> 00:03:43.800
<v Speaker 1>just trying to show both sides that there are people

80
00:03:43.800 --> 00:03:46.080
<v Speaker 1>who go I don't want to pay any more taxes.

81
00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:48.280
<v Speaker 1>I already can't afford to fill up my car. I

82
00:03:48.280 --> 00:03:52.000
<v Speaker 1>saw somebody Venmo the other day. They were stuck. They

83
00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:54.759
<v Speaker 1>were I think an Uber driver or a Lyft driver

84
00:03:54.919 --> 00:03:58.439
<v Speaker 1>or something, and they were stuck. They needed five dollars.

85
00:03:58.439 --> 00:04:01.560
<v Speaker 1>They needed somebody to Venmo than five dollars to get gas.

86
00:04:02.280 --> 00:04:06.599
<v Speaker 1>And the first thing I thought was, well, do gas

87
00:04:06.599 --> 00:04:09.360
<v Speaker 1>stations take Venmo? Do they know?

88
00:04:09.520 --> 00:04:09.639
<v Speaker 3>Well?

89
00:04:09.719 --> 00:04:11.639
<v Speaker 2>No, you could put it into your account and use

90
00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:13.919
<v Speaker 2>Apple pay and like stuff like that. You can do

91
00:04:13.960 --> 00:04:16.120
<v Speaker 2>that all on your phone. But then there's like transaction

92
00:04:16.240 --> 00:04:18.560
<v Speaker 2>fees to get it, like directly in and out of

93
00:04:18.560 --> 00:04:21.720
<v Speaker 2>aroun So five dollars it's probably now like four to

94
00:04:21.800 --> 00:04:22.399
<v Speaker 2>twenty five.

95
00:04:23.920 --> 00:04:25.199
<v Speaker 1>What do you think about that? I mean, I know

96
00:04:25.279 --> 00:04:28.639
<v Speaker 1>that I think that that paid maternity to leave sounds

97
00:04:28.680 --> 00:04:31.720
<v Speaker 1>like a really good thing. But do you want to

98
00:04:31.800 --> 00:04:34.720
<v Speaker 1>pay for it if you don't have kids?

99
00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:37.639
<v Speaker 3>See? I get your reasoning where like why people would

100
00:04:37.639 --> 00:04:40.240
<v Speaker 3>not want to. But I feel like if it's like

101
00:04:40.319 --> 00:04:42.639
<v Speaker 3>a community thing that I'm going to be helping out

102
00:04:42.639 --> 00:04:44.920
<v Speaker 3>somebody else, I'll pay a tax for it. But that's

103
00:04:45.040 --> 00:04:45.560
<v Speaker 3>just me.

104
00:04:47.439 --> 00:04:52.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I don't mind, but I do try to be

105
00:04:52.199 --> 00:04:55.600
<v Speaker 1>sympathetic to people who don't have enough money already and

106
00:04:55.639 --> 00:04:58.120
<v Speaker 1>now here comes another ten dollars or whatever out of

107
00:04:58.160 --> 00:05:00.600
<v Speaker 1>your paycheck, and that that could be a I mean

108
00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:03.000
<v Speaker 1>a big fatty. You could roll up a big fatty with.

109
00:05:02.959 --> 00:05:06.319
<v Speaker 2>That m that would be better for them, right.

110
00:05:06.319 --> 00:05:09.199
<v Speaker 1>Well, absolutely, get take your mind not for misery the

111
00:05:09.240 --> 00:05:14.480
<v Speaker 1>future yeah, okay. Next one, Sharis writes in I wanted

112
00:05:14.480 --> 00:05:17.040
<v Speaker 1>to comment on my experience with maternity leave. I had

113
00:05:17.040 --> 00:05:19.759
<v Speaker 1>both my girls in Las Vegas. I worked at the Blaggio.

114
00:05:20.519 --> 00:05:23.120
<v Speaker 1>The insurance I had allowed six weeks of paid leave

115
00:05:23.720 --> 00:05:26.560
<v Speaker 1>eight weeks if you had a c section anything. Anytime

116
00:05:26.600 --> 00:05:28.920
<v Speaker 1>you took after that, you had to use your vacation

117
00:05:29.079 --> 00:05:32.399
<v Speaker 1>days or long term disability for both pregnancies. I had

118
00:05:32.399 --> 00:05:34.680
<v Speaker 1>a c section, so I took the eight weeks and

119
00:05:34.680 --> 00:05:37.360
<v Speaker 1>then an additional four weeks using my long term disability.

120
00:05:37.600 --> 00:05:40.079
<v Speaker 1>I think it varies by whatever company you work for.

121
00:05:40.160 --> 00:05:43.000
<v Speaker 1>I hope this helps, all right.

122
00:05:43.639 --> 00:05:46.079
<v Speaker 3>Sherees is fascinating the fact that she's, oh, I worked

123
00:05:46.079 --> 00:05:48.279
<v Speaker 3>at the Bolaggio, Like, yeah, no, big deal, that is

124
00:05:48.360 --> 00:05:48.879
<v Speaker 3>so cool.

125
00:05:50.040 --> 00:05:51.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well, I wonder what she did at the Bolaggio.

126
00:05:52.000 --> 00:05:54.279
<v Speaker 1>Were you a dealer? Did you work in finance? Were

127
00:05:54.319 --> 00:05:56.160
<v Speaker 1>you I don't know? And accounting?

128
00:05:56.720 --> 00:05:59.240
<v Speaker 2>I'm almost positive she told us one time, but I'm blank.

129
00:05:59.279 --> 00:06:01.120
<v Speaker 2>You know, I forgot what it is she did there.

130
00:06:03.439 --> 00:06:06.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to guess that if they Cherise was probably

131
00:06:06.480 --> 00:06:08.959
<v Speaker 1>the person that they caught you counting cards. She took

132
00:06:09.000 --> 00:06:11.439
<v Speaker 1>you back outside and broke your fingers, like with a

133
00:06:11.600 --> 00:06:12.360
<v Speaker 1>bat or something.

134
00:06:12.759 --> 00:06:16.319
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Thereesa is the least intimidating person you'll ever meet.

135
00:06:16.439 --> 00:06:18.519
<v Speaker 2>So I feel like that might not be it, but

136
00:06:19.079 --> 00:06:19.560
<v Speaker 2>I think it's a.

137
00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:21.560
<v Speaker 3>Good So maybe that's that's why they used her.

138
00:06:21.600 --> 00:06:23.439
<v Speaker 1>I think that if you ever saw the movie Casino,

139
00:06:24.319 --> 00:06:26.839
<v Speaker 1>it was it took pace Blazed back in the seventies,

140
00:06:26.879 --> 00:06:28.360
<v Speaker 1>and there was a couple of people who would come

141
00:06:28.399 --> 00:06:31.160
<v Speaker 1>in and they would count cards, and so they would

142
00:06:31.160 --> 00:06:32.680
<v Speaker 1>be like, hey, can you follow me, sir, And they'd

143
00:06:32.680 --> 00:06:34.519
<v Speaker 1>take them to the back room and they would break

144
00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:36.959
<v Speaker 1>their fingers with a bat, and I was like, shit,

145
00:06:37.079 --> 00:06:39.439
<v Speaker 1>that sounds terrify. The funny thing is, I'll bet they

146
00:06:39.560 --> 00:06:42.839
<v Speaker 1>really did. Really, I'll bet they did back in the seventies.

147
00:06:42.839 --> 00:06:45.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure we'll do it now honestly. Oh no, because

148
00:06:45.560 --> 00:06:48.879
<v Speaker 1>they're all owned by the Disney Corporation or by MGM.

149
00:06:49.240 --> 00:06:50.920
<v Speaker 1>They're owned by I mean. The funny thing is, I

150
00:06:51.000 --> 00:06:53.240
<v Speaker 1>used to live in Las Vegas at the end of

151
00:06:53.279 --> 00:06:56.920
<v Speaker 1>the Mob era. The Mob ran Vegas from like the

152
00:06:56.959 --> 00:07:01.920
<v Speaker 1>fifties or so through the seventies, and the Mob owned

153
00:07:01.959 --> 00:07:04.279
<v Speaker 1>all the casinos and that's how they would fund their

154
00:07:04.319 --> 00:07:08.519
<v Speaker 1>nefarious operations. But then the Mob kind of got broken up,

155
00:07:08.800 --> 00:07:11.279
<v Speaker 1>and so now they're all owned by like the Wind

156
00:07:11.399 --> 00:07:15.319
<v Speaker 1>Corporation or Disney or the Marriotte Corporation.

157
00:07:15.600 --> 00:07:16.959
<v Speaker 3>So no more breaking fingers.

158
00:07:17.680 --> 00:07:20.399
<v Speaker 1>No. I think in the movie Casino, there was one

159
00:07:20.399 --> 00:07:22.519
<v Speaker 1>guy that they was caught counting cards. They put his

160
00:07:22.519 --> 00:07:24.279
<v Speaker 1>head and advice and they squeezed it till his eyes

161
00:07:24.279 --> 00:07:24.720
<v Speaker 1>popped out.

162
00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:28.439
<v Speaker 3>Oh god, why every time you tell me something that

163
00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:30.839
<v Speaker 3>is so gross, you say it so quickly that I

164
00:07:30.879 --> 00:07:33.519
<v Speaker 3>can't tune out in time to get to my end.

165
00:07:33.680 --> 00:07:34.639
<v Speaker 2>Try to stop him?

166
00:07:34.839 --> 00:07:37.399
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, oh you I can't.

167
00:07:37.519 --> 00:07:39.319
<v Speaker 1>I've got other things you want to hear other things? No,

168
00:07:39.839 --> 00:07:43.759
<v Speaker 1>I got some. Let's move on fine. Carolyn writes in

169
00:07:43.879 --> 00:07:47.439
<v Speaker 1>need some advice on a tricky situation with my boyfriend.

170
00:07:48.639 --> 00:07:51.240
<v Speaker 1>We've been in a long distance relationship for about a

171
00:07:51.360 --> 00:07:55.959
<v Speaker 1>year and a half and things are are decently solid

172
00:07:56.000 --> 00:07:59.399
<v Speaker 1>between us, but I'm uneasy about his ongoing contact with

173
00:07:59.480 --> 00:08:05.399
<v Speaker 1>a four professor. Backstory, This professor showed romantic interest in

174
00:08:05.480 --> 00:08:07.920
<v Speaker 1>him back when he was a freshman at Montana State.

175
00:08:08.480 --> 00:08:11.600
<v Speaker 1>He was eighteen, she was twenty five. He turned her

176
00:08:11.600 --> 00:08:14.160
<v Speaker 1>down with a stayed in touch and still texting Snapchat

177
00:08:14.279 --> 00:08:15.240
<v Speaker 1>every day.

178
00:08:15.680 --> 00:08:16.000
<v Speaker 2>Wow.

179
00:08:16.600 --> 00:08:18.480
<v Speaker 1>She is now twenty seven. My boyfriend and I are

180
00:08:18.480 --> 00:08:21.600
<v Speaker 1>twenty one seniors in college, him at MSU, Me and Wisconsin.

181
00:08:21.959 --> 00:08:24.360
<v Speaker 1>She doesn't work at his school anymore to switch jobs

182
00:08:24.399 --> 00:08:27.199
<v Speaker 1>a lot in the past few years. Their chats are

183
00:08:27.399 --> 00:08:30.480
<v Speaker 1>usually casual, but a few months ago she started venting

184
00:08:30.560 --> 00:08:34.360
<v Speaker 1>to him about super intimate and detailed mental health issues

185
00:08:34.399 --> 00:08:37.879
<v Speaker 1>and insecurities about her appearance. I understand the need to

186
00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:41.120
<v Speaker 1>talk to somebody, but it felt too personal, and especially

187
00:08:41.159 --> 00:08:44.480
<v Speaker 1>considering her past romantic interest in him, it seemed like

188
00:08:44.519 --> 00:08:47.440
<v Speaker 1>she was looking for validation, and it made me more uncomfortable.

189
00:08:47.840 --> 00:08:50.039
<v Speaker 1>I brought this up. He was understanding and agreed to

190
00:08:50.120 --> 00:08:52.840
<v Speaker 1>take things light, but he doesn't really get why this

191
00:08:52.960 --> 00:08:57.200
<v Speaker 1>whole situation bothers me. Now, she's comeing to his town

192
00:08:57.960 --> 00:09:00.000
<v Speaker 1>and asked him to meet up for coffee to care.

193
00:09:00.720 --> 00:09:02.559
<v Speaker 1>He said he wouldn't go if I don't want him to,

194
00:09:02.639 --> 00:09:04.679
<v Speaker 1>but I'm torn. I trust him, but something about this

195
00:09:04.759 --> 00:09:09.120
<v Speaker 1>feels off. Is it wrong to feel uncomfortable? Should I

196
00:09:09.200 --> 00:09:12.159
<v Speaker 1>just tell him fine, go meet her? Any advice would

197
00:09:12.200 --> 00:09:17.879
<v Speaker 1>be appreciated. Thank you. Dart lick Lick, dart lick. All right, Jenny,

198
00:09:18.120 --> 00:09:21.440
<v Speaker 1>you're a worldly woman. You've been cheated on before. What

199
00:09:21.480 --> 00:09:22.600
<v Speaker 1>do you think is going on here?

200
00:09:23.039 --> 00:09:27.120
<v Speaker 2>I would say that you feel uncomfortable, and that is

201
00:09:27.159 --> 00:09:29.279
<v Speaker 2>your answer, so you ask him not to go. I

202
00:09:29.279 --> 00:09:32.399
<v Speaker 2>think it's pretty simple. I think that that's how relationships

203
00:09:32.440 --> 00:09:36.080
<v Speaker 2>work out. You communicate your uncomfortableness, and you still feel uncomfortable,

204
00:09:36.080 --> 00:09:38.159
<v Speaker 2>and you let him know and you tell him I'm sorry,

205
00:09:38.240 --> 00:09:40.639
<v Speaker 2>I'm not trying to be controlling, but I don't like this,

206
00:09:41.120 --> 00:09:43.919
<v Speaker 2>and I think he probably, by the sounds of it,

207
00:09:43.919 --> 00:09:46.279
<v Speaker 2>would respect you saying that and wouldn't go.

208
00:09:46.639 --> 00:09:49.759
<v Speaker 1>I wholeheartedly agree. If it makes you uncomfortable, then that's

209
00:09:49.799 --> 00:09:52.440
<v Speaker 1>the answer. Yeah, And you've got to be reasonable about it.

210
00:09:52.440 --> 00:09:54.399
<v Speaker 1>It's like kind of like if okay, let's say Bailey

211
00:09:54.399 --> 00:09:56.679
<v Speaker 1>and I went to lunch and Susan was unreasonable and said,

212
00:09:56.919 --> 00:09:59.679
<v Speaker 1>I don't like you going to lunch with another woman. Well,

213
00:09:59.720 --> 00:10:03.679
<v Speaker 1>I think that's unreasonable. But if I was, like, like

214
00:10:03.960 --> 00:10:06.600
<v Speaker 1>it was an old girlfriend or somebody who used to, like,

215
00:10:06.639 --> 00:10:09.519
<v Speaker 1>you know, flirt with me or whatever, then yeah, then

216
00:10:09.559 --> 00:10:10.799
<v Speaker 1>it's reasonable.

217
00:10:10.720 --> 00:10:13.480
<v Speaker 3>Right, And you would hope that he wouldn't make that

218
00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:15.840
<v Speaker 3>choice in the first place, like he would think like, hmm,

219
00:10:16.120 --> 00:10:19.399
<v Speaker 3>you know, this seems like something that she wouldn't be

220
00:10:19.440 --> 00:10:22.200
<v Speaker 3>all that thrilled with and then choose appropriately. But it

221
00:10:22.200 --> 00:10:23.519
<v Speaker 3>doesn't seem like that's the case.

222
00:10:24.759 --> 00:10:27.039
<v Speaker 1>Okay, I think that you're right, and I think that

223
00:10:27.120 --> 00:10:29.440
<v Speaker 1>you can decide to be gracious if you want to

224
00:10:29.440 --> 00:10:31.960
<v Speaker 1>call it that, and let him go. But I definitely

225
00:10:31.960 --> 00:10:36.840
<v Speaker 1>think that there's I don't think it's right. Okay. Next

226
00:10:36.919 --> 00:10:42.080
<v Speaker 1>one says heyo after two days of discussion, I can't

227
00:10:42.120 --> 00:10:44.960
<v Speaker 1>believe nobody was brought up. Just cut the keywi in

228
00:10:45.000 --> 00:10:46.399
<v Speaker 1>half and eat it with a spoon.

229
00:10:47.279 --> 00:10:49.799
<v Speaker 2>Oh did we not talk about that? Maybe that was

230
00:10:49.840 --> 00:10:52.559
<v Speaker 2>just my head. Yeah, I always thought that you ate

231
00:10:52.639 --> 00:10:55.440
<v Speaker 2>kiwis you just cut it in having you with spoon.

232
00:10:56.360 --> 00:10:58.000
<v Speaker 1>My mom used to make this a challenge for my

233
00:10:58.039 --> 00:10:59.840
<v Speaker 1>brother and I when we were little. Cut the key

234
00:11:00.159 --> 00:11:02.679
<v Speaker 1>and half, give one half to each of us, dig

235
00:11:02.720 --> 00:11:04.759
<v Speaker 1>out the kiwi with the spoon, and eat it to

236
00:11:04.840 --> 00:11:07.039
<v Speaker 1>try to get the inside as clean as you can

237
00:11:07.120 --> 00:11:10.639
<v Speaker 1>before the other person. If you rip the skin, you lose.

238
00:11:11.519 --> 00:11:13.720
<v Speaker 1>Is it not common to eat kei we with a spoon?

239
00:11:13.879 --> 00:11:15.000
<v Speaker 1>Signed Britney.

240
00:11:15.480 --> 00:11:17.639
<v Speaker 2>How brilliant your mom wants to get you guys to

241
00:11:17.879 --> 00:11:20.879
<v Speaker 2>eat healthy. She made a little competition out of it,

242
00:11:21.440 --> 00:11:23.000
<v Speaker 2>you know what I mean? Yeah, she was like eat

243
00:11:23.000 --> 00:11:24.480
<v Speaker 2>the key, we don't break the.

244
00:11:24.440 --> 00:11:26.960
<v Speaker 1>Skin, instead of just like eat your kiwi, which would

245
00:11:26.960 --> 00:11:29.559
<v Speaker 1>be like, no, I don't want to. You know what's

246
00:11:29.559 --> 00:11:33.320
<v Speaker 1>funny is I am always hungry and nobody ever tells me,

247
00:11:33.440 --> 00:11:35.240
<v Speaker 1>like Dave, you need to eat, you need to eat.

248
00:11:35.679 --> 00:11:38.600
<v Speaker 1>What's funny though, is I took the girls to McDonald's

249
00:11:38.600 --> 00:11:44.320
<v Speaker 1>on Friday. Kids never eat that much. They just don't.

250
00:11:44.799 --> 00:11:47.679
<v Speaker 1>I got a McNuggets and fries and they had apple slices.

251
00:11:48.200 --> 00:11:51.159
<v Speaker 1>Surprisingly enough, their favorite of the meal was the apple slices.

252
00:11:51.279 --> 00:11:54.279
<v Speaker 1>Oh the nuggets were you know, they're cute. They'd give

253
00:11:54.320 --> 00:11:57.480
<v Speaker 1>them four McNuggets in a box. They each ate about

254
00:11:57.519 --> 00:12:00.679
<v Speaker 1>a nugget and a half and about four French fries.

255
00:12:01.559 --> 00:12:06.720
<v Speaker 1>Fuck that noise if it had been me on your

256
00:12:06.759 --> 00:12:08.000
<v Speaker 1>fries car more.

257
00:12:08.120 --> 00:12:10.159
<v Speaker 3>No. My niece is like that too, where she'll eat

258
00:12:10.159 --> 00:12:12.559
<v Speaker 3>like a bite of something and then we have to

259
00:12:12.600 --> 00:12:16.440
<v Speaker 3>like convince her to continue eating it. You just did

260
00:12:16.480 --> 00:12:20.519
<v Speaker 3>not eat anything. How are you like sustained nutritionally right?

261
00:12:21.080 --> 00:12:22.799
<v Speaker 1>And I would say, okay, you can go on the

262
00:12:22.799 --> 00:12:25.440
<v Speaker 1>play place if you finish your let you know, finish

263
00:12:25.519 --> 00:12:27.679
<v Speaker 1>the nugget you have in your hand. And there's also

264
00:12:27.759 --> 00:12:30.039
<v Speaker 1>and I want to do a reel for Instagram about this.

265
00:12:30.799 --> 00:12:33.360
<v Speaker 1>The way two year old z eat is the funniest

266
00:12:33.360 --> 00:12:36.480
<v Speaker 1>thing ever. They don't have them find motor skills to

267
00:12:36.600 --> 00:12:39.720
<v Speaker 1>pick up a nugget and bite off a piece. So

268
00:12:39.759 --> 00:12:45.120
<v Speaker 1>they will pick up a nugget and all five fingers

269
00:12:45.159 --> 00:12:48.759
<v Speaker 1>in their mouth and then chew on it. Same with pancakes.

270
00:12:48.759 --> 00:12:51.440
<v Speaker 1>I made them pancakes on Saturday. They wouldn't eat hardly

271
00:12:51.480 --> 00:12:54.240
<v Speaker 1>any but they would pick I forgot to give them.

272
00:12:54.639 --> 00:12:56.200
<v Speaker 1>I give them forks, but I forgot to cut up

273
00:12:56.240 --> 00:12:58.399
<v Speaker 1>their pancakes, so they didn't use the fork. They use

274
00:12:58.480 --> 00:13:00.919
<v Speaker 1>their fingers. They pick it up and they put their

275
00:13:01.080 --> 00:13:03.159
<v Speaker 1>entire hand and her mouth.

276
00:13:03.279 --> 00:13:03.720
<v Speaker 3>Gross.

277
00:13:03.960 --> 00:13:05.320
<v Speaker 1>And that's how they eat pancakes.

278
00:13:05.399 --> 00:13:05.559
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

279
00:13:05.600 --> 00:13:07.799
<v Speaker 3>My niece says that with fries she puts she dips

280
00:13:07.799 --> 00:13:10.200
<v Speaker 3>them in ketchup and then just throws the entire hand

281
00:13:10.279 --> 00:13:12.679
<v Speaker 3>into her mouth and then licks the ketchup off and

282
00:13:12.720 --> 00:13:13.720
<v Speaker 3>pulls the fries out.

283
00:13:14.080 --> 00:13:18.000
<v Speaker 2>My nephew was doing this past weekend. I watched him

284
00:13:18.039 --> 00:13:19.399
<v Speaker 2>do it, and I was like, oh my gosh, just

285
00:13:19.440 --> 00:13:23.559
<v Speaker 2>eating essential just a spoon at this point. Gross.

286
00:13:24.159 --> 00:13:26.440
<v Speaker 1>Another one about maternity leaver, Chelle writes in with some

287
00:13:26.519 --> 00:13:29.320
<v Speaker 1>movie recommendations, and I'm gonna get right to She says,

288
00:13:29.360 --> 00:13:34.200
<v Speaker 1>I totally agree with Jessica, who wrote in about maternity leave.

289
00:13:34.600 --> 00:13:37.840
<v Speaker 1>I had see sections. It's insane that mothers are expected

290
00:13:37.840 --> 00:13:41.240
<v Speaker 1>to go back to work so soon. When crafting legislation

291
00:13:41.360 --> 00:13:44.320
<v Speaker 1>to give state employees some weeks of paid but paternity leave,

292
00:13:44.759 --> 00:13:47.360
<v Speaker 1>the men in charge first suggested four weeks. A mom

293
00:13:47.360 --> 00:13:49.279
<v Speaker 1>in the room pointed out that daycare won't even take

294
00:13:49.320 --> 00:13:52.559
<v Speaker 1>babies under six weeks, so they changed the legislation to

295
00:13:52.679 --> 00:13:56.039
<v Speaker 1>six weeks. I love this example of why representation matters

296
00:13:56.080 --> 00:13:58.720
<v Speaker 1>and getting voices at the table matters. I would say

297
00:13:58.759 --> 00:14:02.360
<v Speaker 1>across the board as a gross generalization that parental leave

298
00:14:02.399 --> 00:14:05.519
<v Speaker 1>is unpaid. If you get paid leave, then you are

299
00:14:05.600 --> 00:14:09.000
<v Speaker 1>the exception, and you are probably in a salary position

300
00:14:09.039 --> 00:14:12.320
<v Speaker 1>at a large company. Short term disability doesn't count, because

301
00:14:12.360 --> 00:14:16.000
<v Speaker 1>that is insurance you pay for, not income. About forty

302
00:14:16.000 --> 00:14:18.320
<v Speaker 1>percent of women working jobs that don't even qualify for

303
00:14:18.399 --> 00:14:22.519
<v Speaker 1>them for FMLA or short term disability. Imagine your household

304
00:14:22.600 --> 00:14:25.279
<v Speaker 1>not getting four to six paychecks in a row. It's

305
00:14:25.440 --> 00:14:32.519
<v Speaker 1>a real problem. Yeah, okay, Jessica says, Hello, Dave Ryan Show,

306
00:14:33.120 --> 00:14:35.559
<v Speaker 1>here's my rant. I work from home and with a

307
00:14:35.600 --> 00:14:37.559
<v Speaker 1>nice weather, been trying to work outside as much as

308
00:14:37.600 --> 00:14:41.519
<v Speaker 1>possible to enjoy the sunshine. Why do all my neighbors

309
00:14:41.600 --> 00:14:44.480
<v Speaker 1>leaf blow their yards in the middle of the day.

310
00:14:45.279 --> 00:14:48.240
<v Speaker 1>Don't they have jobs? It's so loud and obnoxious when

311
00:14:48.279 --> 00:14:52.039
<v Speaker 1>I'm working, and once one is finished, another one starts.

312
00:14:52.360 --> 00:14:56.120
<v Speaker 1>It's like they're working together to annoy me. Arg she says,

313
00:14:56.679 --> 00:14:58.799
<v Speaker 1>why do you need to blow them around anyway? Such

314
00:14:58.799 --> 00:15:01.320
<v Speaker 1>a stupid waste of time. They will biout a grade.

315
00:15:01.360 --> 00:15:05.600
<v Speaker 1>You numb nuts rant over. Love you guys, Jessica, garden

316
00:15:05.639 --> 00:15:08.159
<v Speaker 1>lover and park ranger who can officially tell you no

317
00:15:08.320 --> 00:15:10.519
<v Speaker 1>amount of leaves in your yard will kill your grass.

318
00:15:10.519 --> 00:15:13.279
<v Speaker 1>So retire the leaf blowers and enjoy the sounds of fall,

319
00:15:13.799 --> 00:15:17.320
<v Speaker 1>like birds and wind. Jessica, I love this. There is

320
00:15:17.360 --> 00:15:21.799
<v Speaker 1>no worse sound than a leaf blower and or a

321
00:15:21.840 --> 00:15:23.480
<v Speaker 1>trimmer or a mower.

322
00:15:23.440 --> 00:15:25.519
<v Speaker 3>Especially if they can't like just get it done.

323
00:15:25.320 --> 00:15:32.000
<v Speaker 1>Where they go. Well, you and I nap during the

324
00:15:32.080 --> 00:15:35.639
<v Speaker 1>early afternoon in the summer, it's the mowers and the

325
00:15:35.639 --> 00:15:40.480
<v Speaker 1>weed whackers right underneath my window. And I wake up

326
00:15:40.519 --> 00:15:43.159
<v Speaker 1>and I'm like, well, fuck that, there goes that. This

327
00:15:43.200 --> 00:15:45.399
<v Speaker 1>time of the year, it is the leaf blowing crowd,

328
00:15:46.159 --> 00:15:50.919
<v Speaker 1>and it'll never go away. We've talked about how leafs

329
00:15:50.960 --> 00:15:54.799
<v Speaker 1>on your lawn are good for nature and bugs and

330
00:15:54.840 --> 00:15:57.759
<v Speaker 1>things like that, but people still want to have a

331
00:15:57.879 --> 00:15:59.759
<v Speaker 1>clean lawn. Do you think that in forever, in the

332
00:15:59.799 --> 00:16:02.840
<v Speaker 1>fewtre like in fifty years, we'll even still have lawns.

333
00:16:02.960 --> 00:16:05.279
<v Speaker 3>No, I think they're gonna all turn into like wild

334
00:16:05.879 --> 00:16:08.399
<v Speaker 3>flower reserves.

335
00:16:08.440 --> 00:16:09.799
<v Speaker 1>Or maybe gravel or river.

336
00:16:09.759 --> 00:16:11.240
<v Speaker 2>Rock or Yeah, that'd be cool too.

337
00:16:11.320 --> 00:16:14.519
<v Speaker 1>I think that lawns are such a fuck and they

338
00:16:14.600 --> 00:16:22.480
<v Speaker 1>look nice, yeah, but they take everything water, water effort, herbicides, fertilizers,

339
00:16:22.480 --> 00:16:24.559
<v Speaker 1>the waste of time, the waste of time, and then

340
00:16:24.559 --> 00:16:27.000
<v Speaker 1>the waste of gas for mowing your lawn. I mean

341
00:16:27.039 --> 00:16:30.639
<v Speaker 1>they really are. They're beautiful, yeah, I mean they are,

342
00:16:31.279 --> 00:16:33.759
<v Speaker 1>but they are so wasteful. Yeah.

343
00:16:33.799 --> 00:16:36.840
<v Speaker 3>I feel like we could make wild grass look beautiful too.

344
00:16:36.960 --> 00:16:39.240
<v Speaker 3>We just have to convince ourselves that it's also beautiful

345
00:16:39.279 --> 00:16:40.360
<v Speaker 3>so we don't have to mow ever.

346
00:16:40.480 --> 00:16:42.440
<v Speaker 2>Again, do you guys not have any white noise that

347
00:16:42.440 --> 00:16:43.639
<v Speaker 2>you put on when you try to sleep?

348
00:16:43.879 --> 00:16:46.600
<v Speaker 3>No, I actually sleep pretty deep. I can fall asleep

349
00:16:46.600 --> 00:16:49.480
<v Speaker 3>to absolutely the thing, though, unless you're like my upstairs

350
00:16:49.480 --> 00:16:51.519
<v Speaker 3>neighbor who walks around at like five thirty in the

351
00:16:51.519 --> 00:16:53.120
<v Speaker 3>morning and wakes me up in the morning.

352
00:16:53.120 --> 00:16:54.919
<v Speaker 2>That sucks. I hate that because we always have a

353
00:16:54.919 --> 00:16:56.600
<v Speaker 2>fan on in our room. So like if I take

354
00:16:56.600 --> 00:16:58.159
<v Speaker 2>a nap in the middle of the afternoon and I

355
00:16:58.200 --> 00:17:00.480
<v Speaker 2>hear a leaf blower, I usually can round it out

356
00:17:00.519 --> 00:17:03.279
<v Speaker 2>by like the fans fan. So I'm pretty used to

357
00:17:03.320 --> 00:17:05.200
<v Speaker 2>that now. I pretty much can only sleep with a

358
00:17:05.240 --> 00:17:06.680
<v Speaker 2>fan on. Now I can't fall a sleep if I

359
00:17:06.680 --> 00:17:09.319
<v Speaker 2>don't have white noise. And I did that to me.

360
00:17:09.799 --> 00:17:11.480
<v Speaker 2>You always had a sleep with a fan, and now

361
00:17:11.599 --> 00:17:12.519
<v Speaker 2>it's how I am too.

362
00:17:12.720 --> 00:17:16.680
<v Speaker 1>I feel that though I don't need to sleep with

363
00:17:16.720 --> 00:17:20.039
<v Speaker 1>white noise. I can, but I don't need to. When

364
00:17:20.039 --> 00:17:21.880
<v Speaker 1>I dated Cricket, she had to have the TV or

365
00:17:21.880 --> 00:17:22.680
<v Speaker 1>the radio on to shaw.

366
00:17:22.680 --> 00:17:23.440
<v Speaker 2>Oh that sounds awful.

367
00:17:23.559 --> 00:17:24.039
<v Speaker 1>It was awful.

368
00:17:24.079 --> 00:17:26.160
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I got you're listening to that and then

369
00:17:26.200 --> 00:17:28.160
<v Speaker 3>you're like listening to what they're saying and following what

370
00:17:28.200 --> 00:17:28.799
<v Speaker 3>they're saying.

371
00:17:29.039 --> 00:17:30.839
<v Speaker 1>It worked for her, not for me, But I know

372
00:17:30.880 --> 00:17:32.319
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people who have to have a fan

373
00:17:32.400 --> 00:17:34.680
<v Speaker 1>on or white noise of some kind. All right, that

374
00:17:34.759 --> 00:17:37.319
<v Speaker 1>is it for the Minnesota goodbye and any comments on anything.

375
00:17:37.359 --> 00:17:39.400
<v Speaker 1>I think we kind of cover the maternity thing unless

376
00:17:39.400 --> 00:17:41.319
<v Speaker 1>we miss something. Unless you want to comment on whether

377
00:17:41.400 --> 00:17:43.839
<v Speaker 1>you would be happy to pay more taxes, I would

378
00:17:43.839 --> 00:17:46.279
<v Speaker 1>love to hear your opinion on that one. Maybe you're like, absolutely,

379
00:17:46.279 --> 00:17:48.920
<v Speaker 1>it would, but maybe you're like, no, I can't afford anymore.

380
00:17:49.240 --> 00:17:51.359
<v Speaker 1>Send an email on whatever you want to talk about

381
00:17:51.400 --> 00:17:54.880
