Speaker 1: Let's get into the Minnesota Goodbye. I did a deep
Speaker 1: dive clean deep clean is what I mean of the
Speaker 1: mailbox last night. I sat there probably for an hour
Speaker 1: and answered emails wow, and apologized to people for not
Speaker 1: getting back to them. And it's just it's not hard
Speaker 1: to keep track of it's just that, you know, it's
Speaker 1: I do a shitty job of it, that's all. So
Speaker 1: let's get into the Minnesota Goodbye. This one goes back
Speaker 1: a couple of months, but I thought it was really interesting.
Speaker 1: I want to share some really cool facts about my
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty year old New Olm home. And
Speaker 1: this is what it came up. A couple of months ago.
Speaker 1: We were talking about New Olm and old houses and
Speaker 1: I'm so fascinated by that. So, in case you don't know,
Speaker 1: there was an Sioux uprising in eighteen sixty two where
Speaker 1: the Sioux were like, fuck you, you're not feeding us
Speaker 1: and we're supposed to get government rations, and you won't
Speaker 1: let us hunt, and you won't let us do this,
Speaker 1: so we're going to go attack settlers. So the settlers
Speaker 1: all fled to either Fort Ridgely or New Olm. The
Speaker 1: Indians chased them into New Olm and here's what happened.
Speaker 1: Our house was super close to where the Indians were
Speaker 1: pushed off to the people who built our home felt
Speaker 1: bad for them and would give them food often, and
Speaker 1: we're friendly with them. The Indians completely left our property
Speaker 1: alone during the uprising, didn't burn the barns, and apparently
Speaker 1: used this land as a hospital. They also completely left
Speaker 1: Shells Brewery alone because they were very kind to the Indians. Also,
Speaker 1: the first ever registered doctor in Minnesota was born on
Speaker 1: our land, and the Indians had never seen a white baby,
Speaker 1: so they all came down to see him. We live
Speaker 1: about five four so miles down the road from Fort Ridgeley.
Speaker 1: Lots of history in our home and inter we're seeing
Speaker 1: things like the fact that the one bathroom we have
Speaker 1: is tiny and in a dumb spot because they added
Speaker 1: it later since they didn't have any indoor plumbing when
Speaker 1: it was built, so when they did, they just put
Speaker 1: in the bathroom in like a random spot, like in
Speaker 1: the middle of the living room or whatever. And anyway,
Speaker 1: I love our old home besides the snakes, mice and bugs.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Hannah.
Speaker 2: I went to the New Alm Historical Society Museum because
Speaker 2: I was there a couple of years ago. Yeah, that
Speaker 2: museum is really interesting because it's very clearly like curated
Speaker 2: over time, so like each floor definitely has like a
Speaker 2: different author in a different decade, because it kind of
Speaker 2: goes back and forth between saying like it was the
Speaker 2: Native American's faults, it was the settler's fault, and just
Speaker 2: kind of like tug of war. But it's actually quite
Speaker 2: fascinating to see both points of view like happening congruently.
Speaker 1: You know. It's it's interesting because, I mean history has
Speaker 1: kind of shown that it was you know, the natives.
Speaker 1: They were vicious because they were their their lifestyle was
Speaker 1: being taken away. Any of us would have been vicious
Speaker 1: and viciously defended, and the Natives tried to in a
Speaker 1: lot of time, they tried to get along with us,
Speaker 1: but we were horrible, yeah, cract and and just horrible
Speaker 1: crappy people. So the Natives were just doing what any
Speaker 1: civilization with society would do, and that is like, Okay,
Speaker 1: we try to be nice to you, now fuck you.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So I think that there's my short course on Native
Speaker 1: history in pretty much the entire country. There were a
Speaker 1: lot of It's really interesting to me and I actually
Speaker 1: know a lot more about it than you would think
Speaker 1: that I do. But a lot of the tribes were
Speaker 1: very welcoming, yeah, and some of them weren't.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we shanked all of them. We really kind of well.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you talk about a race that has really been fucked. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and that is the Natives in the United States.
Speaker 2: M m m.
Speaker 1: All right, let's move on to our next email. I'm
Speaker 1: going back in time a little bit. This one goes
Speaker 1: to earlier this summer. A couple of Mondays ago. You
Speaker 1: shared a great Monday motivation about appreciate our parents and
Speaker 1: if our parents are still alive, to call them and
Speaker 1: got me thinking about something I've been struggling with. And
Speaker 1: I'm wondering if I could do a group therapy or
Speaker 1: ask am I the jerk? So we're gonna do this
Speaker 1: one here on the podcast. I am an only child
Speaker 1: the wonderful and loving parents. They have been nothing but supportive,
Speaker 1: and I'm so grateful I have them both in my life.
Speaker 1: We have a great relationship. I'm grown, married, kids my own.
Speaker 1: The only problem I'm dealing with is my mom text
Speaker 1: me all the time, morning, noon, and night. There's not
Speaker 1: a day that goes by that she doesn't check in
Speaker 1: multiple times a day, and it's only gotten worse. And
Speaker 1: she's retired. She's got to know every detail about what's
Speaker 1: going on for the day, plans for the evening, asks
Speaker 1: a bazilion questions about myself, husband and kids. I notice
Speaker 1: it's even worse when I'm out of town or doing
Speaker 1: something specific with other people. It's suffocating that I constantly
Speaker 1: reply back and check in about every detail? Does that
Speaker 1: make me a jerk? She just loves me and she cares.
Speaker 1: I know it's successive, But how do I tell her
Speaker 1: to ease up? It would crush her and I often
Speaker 1: think how much I'll miss the check ins daily, so
Speaker 1: I try to be patient. I know I'm lucky to
Speaker 1: have my mom, but I'm wondering if it's normal or
Speaker 1: am I a horrible person for even feeling this way?
Speaker 1: Love to know what you think. That's a really good question.
Speaker 1: We try to go easy on Carson because Carson makes
Speaker 1: it very clear that he doesn't want to be bothered
Speaker 1: all the time. Every five days, I'll send him a
Speaker 1: text message. Every five days, I'll do a FaceTime or
Speaker 1: a phone call. Yeah, but you know he doesn't want
Speaker 1: to be pestered, he's got his own life.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I try to. I mean I try to talk
Speaker 2: to my mom if it's like texting. I tried to
Speaker 2: talk to her like once a day potentially, because sometimes
Speaker 2: I feel the same way as this person emailing in.
Speaker 2: She'll text me about random stuff and I'll be like
Speaker 2: what are you talking about? Or like why are you
Speaker 2: telling me this? But I'm trying so hard not to
Speaker 2: like be irked by it, because like this emailer said,
Speaker 2: like once she's gone, I'm going to miss it, even
Speaker 2: if it's weird in the moment, be like, I don't
Speaker 2: know why you're telling me this, I'll still miss it
Speaker 2: when she's gone. So I try and text my mom
Speaker 2: every single day and then call her every four or
Speaker 2: five days potentially.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, your mama.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean, I'm really not someone to come to
Speaker 3: to help this person out because I don't talk to
Speaker 3: my family very often at all. I haven't talked to
Speaker 3: my my dad doesn't even know we bought a camera van.
Speaker 3: My mom and I maybe have spoke on the phone
Speaker 3: once in the last like month or so.
Speaker 4: We don't really text.
Speaker 3: Like my mom and I catch up in short increments
Speaker 3: and it's like a good amount of time my dad.
Speaker 3: I just have to prepare for conversations with him because
Speaker 3: it's two hours of him talking about himself, and so
Speaker 3: I have to men time.
Speaker 1: And Dad's got to do better because Fallon's dad and
Speaker 1: Corey's dad did the same thing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so it's it's I don't I don't have any
Speaker 3: solution for you because I don't deal with.
Speaker 2: That at all.
Speaker 1: Do you think that your dad and I'm just going
Speaker 1: to try to put this, not try to put it
Speaker 1: on you, but do you think that your dad does
Speaker 1: all the talking when you call him or he calls
Speaker 1: because you don't have much to say, No.
Speaker 4: Not at all.
Speaker 3: I have so much to say. He doesn't know anything
Speaker 3: about my life. Most of the time he didn't. I mean,
Speaker 3: you know, obviously there's been lots of changes on the
Speaker 3: morning show in the last year. My dad like never
Speaker 3: even knew about most of them until like half like
Speaker 3: months after they happened. Because when we talk, it's the
Speaker 3: same conversation. The most recent conversation has been about the
Speaker 3: fact that he is in some golf tournament with old
Speaker 3: high school friends, and it's every time I've talked to
Speaker 3: him for four months, he talked about that golf tournament
Speaker 3: that was coming up for about twenty minutes. I time
Speaker 3: the moment he finally asked me a question about myself,
Speaker 3: and I send it to my sister's zone.
Speaker 1: Oh no, you time it. Oh my god, so like
Speaker 1: thirty minutes into it before he asked you about yourself.
Speaker 4: Trust me, it's not just me. He does it with
Speaker 4: my sisters too.
Speaker 3: I was just on the phone with my older sister
Speaker 3: last night and she said that he called her and
Speaker 3: was talking her ear off about some guy who's running
Speaker 3: for senate or something in Wisconsin, was at this pizza
Speaker 3: place he was at, and just like talked to her
Speaker 3: about it for like twenty minutes, asked her one question
Speaker 3: and like let her answer, and then went back to
Speaker 3: talking about whatever he wanted to for another However.
Speaker 1: That is the worst, and I think any of us
Speaker 1: could learn, like let the other person talk, but also
Speaker 1: ask that person a fucking question.
Speaker 2: I would say, like, yeah, it would be nice obviously
Speaker 2: if they ask you questions. That goes more back and forth.
Speaker 2: But for people like that that just talk and talk
Speaker 2: and talk and talk, in my brain, I just think
Speaker 2: they probably don't have a lot of people to talk to.
Speaker 4: They don't, and that's why I let my dad do it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he doesn't have but like, I also can't feel
Speaker 3: bad because he's built his life to be like that, right, Yeah,
Speaker 3: like I can't take full responsibility for him not having
Speaker 3: a big social life of other people to talk to,
Speaker 3: So of course I let him talk. I'm not upset
Speaker 3: about it. I just have to mentally prepare for my conversations. Yeah,
Speaker 3: for sure.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was kind of like that person. Remember about
Speaker 1: two weeks ago, I said that I was at lunch
Speaker 1: with somebody or we'd gone to dinner, and they wouldn't
Speaker 1: stop talking, and I finally said, you need to let
Speaker 1: me talk. I want to talk. And they were so hurt,
Speaker 1: but it was like fucking a you never stop talking.
Speaker 1: Whenever I start to talk, you let me get one
Speaker 1: sentence and then it's back to you. You never asked
Speaker 1: me about myself, and we honestly we haven't spoken since. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's right, and it is sad. All right. This is
Speaker 1: an interesting one. It says, hello, my favorite morning crew.
Speaker 1: You always hear about body count, but I heard a
Speaker 1: better way to think about it. I feel that this
Speaker 1: is more for women, but there are exceptions for everything.
Speaker 1: So your body count should be the actually number of
Speaker 1: the people who actually got you to finish, not the
Speaker 1: body count of the people who you hooked up with.
Speaker 2: Okay, God, So the.
Speaker 1: Body count then goes way down. So hypothetically a body
Speaker 1: count is twenty six, but the number of people who
Speaker 1: actually crossed the finish line with you, that number goes
Speaker 1: down to three for me, just three. Sorry, super random
Speaker 1: and it always made me laugh. Love you guys, right,
Speaker 1: that's from Kristin.
Speaker 3: God, I love you, Chris. I think that's awesome, brilliant,
Speaker 3: that's brilliant. I have pretty much had sex with nobody,
Speaker 3: I kidd Is it that bad?
Speaker 2: Ye? That's a lot bad.
Speaker 3: It is pretty close to like the math that Kristin
Speaker 3: just did of twenty six to three. I mean I
Speaker 3: have a higher number than that, and I don't care,
Speaker 3: I'll admit that, but it's pretty close in terms of
Speaker 3: like percentage.
Speaker 1: I think there's as a guy, I'm going to try
Speaker 1: to give you the guy's perspective. Okay, sometimes we don't
Speaker 1: know what especially when we're in experience, we don't know
Speaker 1: what it takes to get you there, so we think
Speaker 1: you're not going to get there and so then we
Speaker 1: go ahead and finish. So we're working, work and work,
Speaker 1: and we're trying all these things that we know that
Speaker 1: we think work, and nothing seems to work. And that's
Speaker 1: probably from anexperience and also inexperience with that particular partner.
Speaker 1: So if you're with a partner and you know what
Speaker 1: they love, then you go do what they love. But
Speaker 1: sometimes what that person love is not something the other
Speaker 1: person loves.
Speaker 3: Right, And I will take blame for a lot of
Speaker 3: my lack of I guess body count if that's how
Speaker 3: we're putting it, Because when I was young, I just pretended.
Speaker 3: I pretended like I was liking something because that's what
Speaker 3: I thought I was supposed to do. And so it's
Speaker 3: unfair to that person, the partner I always like was
Speaker 3: engaging in activities with. But I also think that there
Speaker 3: are just a lot of selfish people out there who
Speaker 3: won't even try to learn.
Speaker 1: And I hear it all the time. I was talking
Speaker 1: with a friend of mine yesterday, and it's weird that
Speaker 1: you know, you're like, why would you? Susan gets annoyed
Speaker 1: with me because they're like, yeah, I talked to this
Speaker 1: friend and they were telling me about their husband. So
Speaker 1: I was talking to this friend and they were telling
Speaker 1: me about their husband. Now they do they have sex
Speaker 1: once every six months and he climbs on, finishes and
Speaker 1: then slides off. And she's like, and I got to
Speaker 1: pretend that that's normal. And I'm like, well, you know
Speaker 1: it's not normal. But I think that there are a
Speaker 1: lot of guys who for whatever reason slide on, do
Speaker 1: their thing and slide off.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 1: Going through some other older emails and like I said,
Speaker 1: cleaned out the email box last night, and I'm going
Speaker 1: to hit the lead on that one so I will
Speaker 1: know not to read it again. Let's see, I am
Speaker 1: a special ed teacher and every day I searched through
Speaker 1: the National Today dates to create a question to the
Speaker 1: day of the students. This morning has stumbled upon the
Speaker 1: dead fact that it is National Radio Day. This was
Speaker 1: last Friday. So happy day to you all. You're my
Speaker 1: favorite and make each day something to look forward to.
Speaker 1: I've listened through all the stages of my life, and
Speaker 1: like many others, it's fun to think back to the
Speaker 1: days when we would beg our bus driver to put
Speaker 1: on Katie WB. Oh, put on.
Speaker 2: Katie wb that's cute.
Speaker 1: A quick topic for the Minnesota Goodbye is Halloween is
Speaker 1: rapidly approaching. Were you a household that did store bought
Speaker 1: or homemade Halloween costumes? Either way, what's your most memorable
Speaker 1: childhood costume? Thanks for listening. If this constitute is staff
Speaker 1: writer sticker, here is my address and absolutely I will
Speaker 1: send you a staff writer to sticker Jenny. Were you
Speaker 1: homemade or store bought and give me your most memorable costume?
Speaker 3: We were homemade because we were Paul and my mom
Speaker 3: knows how to sew. So my most memorable was the
Speaker 3: fact that my older sister and I were toothpaste. I
Speaker 3: was Crested and she was Colgate one year, so we
Speaker 3: were tubes of toothpaste and that is huge one of
Speaker 3: my favorite that's cute, one of my absolute favorite Halloween costumes, Bailey.
Speaker 2: We were kind of homemade, like we would get all
Speaker 2: of our costumes at Goodwill and then put them together ourselves,
Speaker 2: and me and my sister trigger treated like forever too long,
Speaker 2: And I think literally the first thing I thought of
Speaker 2: was one year, my sister was Karnak from you know
Speaker 2: who Johnny Carson, Yeah, Johnny Carson Show.
Speaker 1: She was Karnak with turbine and Oh my God, and
Speaker 1: then funny.
Speaker 2: I was zombie Donald Trump when he was on the Apprentice.
Speaker 2: So I walked around in a suit and I had
Speaker 2: a little briefcase and a combover.
Speaker 1: That's funny, you know, it's funny. I don't remember. We
Speaker 1: were a little bit of both. We had very cheap
Speaker 1: store bought costumes, usually hand me down from my brother
Speaker 1: from when he was younger. I had Casper the Friendly Ghost,
Speaker 1: and it was one of those plastic masks with a
Speaker 1: cheap rubber band around the back that always broke. And
Speaker 1: I think I was at Donald Duck one time, and
Speaker 1: all the other years, I truly do not remember what
Speaker 1: I was except when I was. The last year I
Speaker 1: went trigger treating was probably in six or seventh grade.
Speaker 1: I made a robot costume out of a cardboard box
Speaker 1: and I painted it up and I put lights and
Speaker 1: dials on it, and I put a head on the
Speaker 1: top and I painted it silver, but I ran out
Speaker 1: of silver paint, so half of the box was still.
Speaker 1: It said, like, you know, I don't know, potatoes or
Speaker 1: something on the side. And I remember trick or treating
Speaker 1: and realizing I was too old real. So that was
Speaker 1: the last time I trigger or treated. Sixth or seventh
Speaker 1: or eighth grade.
Speaker 2: I tricker treated into high school because my sister loved candy. Okay,
Speaker 2: let's get more.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think whatever. Kids in high school, it's like
Speaker 1: in a couple of years are going to be a
Speaker 1: college and being adults. People like I don't like high
Speaker 1: school kids trick or treating. Let them trigger treating as you're.
Speaker 2: Wearing a costume. You could show up and she'll give
Speaker 2: you candy.
Speaker 1: I don't even care if they're not wearing a costume,
Speaker 1: you know, if that brings them joy of me giving
Speaker 1: them a fucking almond joy in some dots, I don't care.
Speaker 1: Come to my house. You're more than welcome to take
Speaker 1: my almond joy in dots.
Speaker 2: Come and take it. Please it in there anymore.
Speaker 3: Did you guys ever go up to the house and
Speaker 3: be like, retreat And then the person at the door
Speaker 3: was like, I choose trick. Now they expected you to
Speaker 3: do a trick some Oh my gosh, there was someone
Speaker 3: in my aunt's neighborhood who did that every time we
Speaker 3: want and then they'd give you candy eventually.
Speaker 4: But I was always like, oh, here, we go what
Speaker 4: kind of trick do I have today?
Speaker 2: One guy like gave out riddles because he chose tricks,
Speaker 2: So he would give you this like little baggy that
Speaker 2: had all these riddles in it. It was kind of cool, actually,
Speaker 2: I liked that one.
Speaker 1: Uh, this is an email that is I think is
Speaker 1: probably better on the air. So we're gonna kind of
Speaker 1: save that on the air because they're wondering whether downtown
Speaker 1: Minneapolis is safe or not. They said they live in
Speaker 1: the suburbs. They will work as a server in downtown Minneapolis.
Speaker 1: They're gonna have to park four blocks away, and they
Speaker 1: won't get out of work until after midnight. And they're
Speaker 1: worried about walking through downtown Minneapolis alone a woman four
Speaker 1: blocks after midnight. I would worry about that too. I
Speaker 1: worry about Alison walking to the Target corporation and she's
Speaker 1: right there in the parking garage because and it would
Speaker 1: be whether that was in Denver or Cleveland or Cincinnati
Speaker 1: or Spokane, any city. But yeah, I absolutely would worry
Speaker 1: about that, and I would do some checking before you
Speaker 1: you know, she's trying to decide where to take the job. Yeah,
Speaker 1: does anybody know more about this than me?
Speaker 2: I feel like sometimes they have like escort service where
Speaker 2: you can get escorted to your car by somebody. And
Speaker 2: I mean, I live in Minneapolis, and I'm in Minneapolis
Speaker 2: a lot after hours, like late into the hours. I
Speaker 2: think as long as you're walking briskly to your car
Speaker 2: and you're paying attention, you're like, you know, staying alert,
Speaker 2: then you should be fine. Because I don't agree when
Speaker 2: people are like Minneapolis is a lawless city, Like, well,
Speaker 2: are you standing around and talking to strangers? Just walk, walk, walk,
Speaker 2: go fast and be purposeful in your walking.
Speaker 1: All right? Next one, Hello, fam, longtime listen. It's for Dave. Dave,
Speaker 1: did you just hear about this plane that made a
Speaker 1: landing on a highway in northern Minnesota? And they put
Speaker 1: a picture of a plane that's pretty much intact and
Speaker 1: it is a one engine propeller plane, looks like it
Speaker 1: holds about six people. My question to you is, since
Speaker 1: you're a pilot, do airplanes you fly have emergency parachutes
Speaker 1: of any kind if you can't land? Or is that
Speaker 1: only in military planes? Well let me know if I
Speaker 1: get boring, because this I could talk about this for
Speaker 1: a long time. No, most of the planes that you'll
Speaker 1: see that are like that are my size planes. They
Speaker 1: do not have an emergency parachute. But there is one
Speaker 1: brand that does. It's called the Cirrus and they're made
Speaker 1: in Duluth and they're beautiful, very expensive, very high quality
Speaker 1: sports cars of airplanes, and they have an emergency parachute.
Speaker 1: Problem with Cirrus is that they crash and kill people
Speaker 1: at a disproportionate rate because people will take that plane
Speaker 1: up in bad weather when they're not qualified, because that
Speaker 1: is their literal safety net, and then they will get
Speaker 1: in trouble and they will kill themselves because they feel like, well,
Speaker 1: I'm safe, I've got a parachute. So there are some
Speaker 1: that have a parachute, but in my opinion and my reading,
Speaker 1: they are also you still got to be very careful.
Speaker 1: Military planes do not have parachutes. They have ejection seats. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so if the pilot is in trouble and the plane's
Speaker 1: going to crash, you pull the handle and it'll shoot
Speaker 1: you out of the top of the plane like in
Speaker 1: top gun. Sure, and that is an ejection seat, then
Speaker 1: you will parachute down. Also, I'm sure it depends on speed,
Speaker 1: but if the engines go out and you're just gliding.
Speaker 1: How far can you actually glide before you have to land?
Speaker 1: That's a good question. It depends on how high you are,
Speaker 1: because the higher you are you can actually glide a
Speaker 1: long way if you go. If you lose an engine
Speaker 1: on an airplane, you've got a great glider. And we're
Speaker 1: actually taught that if your engine goes out, you do
Speaker 1: like an emergency engine out drill, and there's several things
Speaker 1: that you go through. You try to restart the engine,
Speaker 1: and then you set up for what we called best
Speaker 1: glide speed, which is the speed that you can glide
Speaker 1: the farthest at. So yes, you can glide for miles,
Speaker 1: depending on how high you are are. And that is
Speaker 1: about going to do it for the Minnesota. Goodbye for today.
Speaker 1: Anything that anybody wants to add.
Speaker 4: I think I do not have anything to add.
Speaker 1: Oh, okay, let us know about everything. From any advice
Speaker 1: from somebody, or whether your body count should include only
Speaker 1: people who got you to the finish line, or whatever
Speaker 1: you want to comment on. We love new topics. If
Speaker 1: there's something you've always wanted to bring up but you
Speaker 1: never have, go ahead and send it. We would love
Speaker 1: to see that, and we will see you tomorrow here
Speaker 1: on the Minnesota Goodbye and email Ryan Show at kadiwb
