Speaker 1: Who is excited because this is the next to the
Speaker 1: last Minnesota Goodbye for the year. Who's excited. We're almost
Speaker 1: on vacation. We have two more shows and then we're
Speaker 1: done for the year.
Speaker 2: But you can still listen to our show on the
Speaker 2: radio during the break.
Speaker 1: Well it's like a best of. Yeah, it's all the
Speaker 1: best of stuff. So if you turn on the radio,
Speaker 1: your schedule is going to be different, will be off,
Speaker 1: but you can listen to some of the best bits
Speaker 1: from the last year.
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, and you should.
Speaker 1: Should you?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Okay? Good? I like the best of because I never
Speaker 1: go I never ever ever go back and listen to
Speaker 1: the show. I just never do. I don't know why
Speaker 1: I don't. I used to when I did a morning show,
Speaker 1: like when I was younger, I'd like take the tape home.
Speaker 1: It was a cassette tape and listen to it and like,
Speaker 1: you know, critique it, and that was probably a good thing.
Speaker 1: I just don't anymore.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I don't think you need too.
Speaker 1: Okay, good, all right, thanks, Yeah, all right, here we go.
Speaker 1: This is from Linda. She says, I want to know
Speaker 1: who's right here. It's an odd story. My son came
Speaker 1: home and talk to me about this situation. And I thought,
Speaker 1: all right, do I say something to the teacher? Do
Speaker 1: I say something to the school? Is it normal for
Speaker 1: teachers to be on the phone like this? Here's the story.
Speaker 1: Mister Bob, that's not his real name, but let's say.
Speaker 1: My daughter had mister Bob's her teacher a couple of
Speaker 1: years ago in fourth grade. She had shared that the
Speaker 1: teacher would always be on the phone, and then she
Speaker 1: saw him swiping sideways where it had an axe or
Speaker 1: a check mark with a girl's face and name on
Speaker 1: the screen. Now, I've never been on these dating apps
Speaker 1: but for movies. I was thinking this is a dating app.
Speaker 1: This year, my son has mister Bob. Today, my son
Speaker 1: told me he saw mister Bob on his phone pulling
Speaker 1: down a screen that had a heart on it, and
Speaker 1: maybe mister Bob is still looking for somebody. Both kids
Speaker 1: have shared that mister Bob is quote always on his phone. Now, yes,
Speaker 1: people can do whatever they want on their phone. I
Speaker 1: don't care, But during school, my question, isn't normal for
Speaker 1: teachers to be on their phones this much?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 1: Right? Because kids are pointing out that the teachers are
Speaker 1: looking for someone. Do I need to say anything. Well,
Speaker 1: I don't know. It sounds like a dating app. I've
Speaker 1: never really been on a dating app. Yeah, But is
Speaker 1: it okay for mister Bob to be on his phone
Speaker 1: during class? I would say probably no, But I mean,
Speaker 1: if the kids are doing a test or a reading assignment,
Speaker 1: they're supposed to reading silently. I think it's okay for
Speaker 1: the teacher to be on their phone up.
Speaker 3: Front, right, because it's I want to know, like, is
Speaker 3: he on his phone as he's actively teaching, because then
Speaker 3: obviously no, he shouldn't be on his phone, but all
Speaker 3: the kids are on their dang phones, I'm sure. So
Speaker 3: I feel like him not being able to use his
Speaker 3: phone during class, especially if it's during like a test
Speaker 3: or like a you know, a group brainstorming time or whatever. Like,
Speaker 3: I don't think that's wrong.
Speaker 1: I don't think that there should ever be a time
Speaker 1: when a kid should see what's on your phone, unless
Speaker 1: you are showing the kid what's on your phone.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So in other words, the kids are somehow able to
Speaker 1: see what mister Bob is doing on his phone, right,
Speaker 1: which is weird, and I don't think that's good. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because if you want to show oh, here's a picture
Speaker 1: of a salamander. Let me pull one up for you
Speaker 1: really quick, little Gracie right and show you what a
Speaker 1: salamander looks like. That's one thing. But if she walks
Speaker 1: by and has a question and he's swiping left and
Speaker 1: right on whatever, Yeah, I don't think that's right.
Speaker 3: He needs one of those those screens that you can't
Speaker 3: see from the side, like Vont's screen has.
Speaker 2: Like, yeah, I hate the screen. We try to do
Speaker 2: things on the show, and Vont has some screen protector
Speaker 2: thing that basically you can only see what's on the
Speaker 2: screen if you're directly above it. Yeah, so when we're
Speaker 2: all trying to like look and like oh we should
Speaker 2: do this TikTok, and we're looking at Van's phone, we
Speaker 2: can't see half the screen.
Speaker 3: Whatever that is that like protective screen. He needs one
Speaker 3: of those, I think.
Speaker 1: Okay, or I would say this, I'm going to go
Speaker 1: ahead and say that as we we love teachers as
Speaker 1: a whole, but I'm going to say there are some
Speaker 1: bad teachers. There are some teachers that probably should not
Speaker 1: be teaching. And I'm going to guess if you're a teacher,
Speaker 1: you probably know some teachers that should not be teaching.
Speaker 1: And it's possible that mister Bob, maybe he is not
Speaker 1: the best teacher in the world, just like not all
Speaker 1: of any group are all wonderful. Yea, and maybe he
Speaker 1: is not. Maybe. Here's here's an idea. Call out bad
Speaker 1: teachers in your school. If you're a teacher, send me
Speaker 1: an email and say, yeah, miss Jacobsen down the hall
Speaker 1: gets high in her car before she comes in to work.
Speaker 2: You you little possible.
Speaker 3: I mean, if you think about all the teachers you've
Speaker 3: ever had, not every single one of your teachers was
Speaker 3: a good teacher.
Speaker 2: My first grade teacher sucked.
Speaker 3: Who my first grade teacher?
Speaker 1: Why did they suck?
Speaker 3: She was so mean. She was mean to like absolutely everybody.
Speaker 3: And she was like super strict too. And I just
Speaker 3: remember hating going to school in first grade.
Speaker 1: In first grade, that's hard because first grade is like
Speaker 1: you got to give the kids a lot of leeway
Speaker 1: because they're still pretty much babies.
Speaker 3: It was weird. She felt like a dictator. I don't know,
Speaker 3: it was awful.
Speaker 2: We literally didn't learn anything in second or not second,
Speaker 2: sixth grade. I'm not kidding you. I feel like I
Speaker 2: skipped fifth to go to seventh because my teacher in
Speaker 2: sixth grade. He taught us how to play chess, and
Speaker 2: we played chess at all times. Wow we did I
Speaker 2: get really good at it? Yes?
Speaker 1: I did.
Speaker 2: Did I win a trophy at one point because we
Speaker 2: had tournaments all the time? I sure did. But did
Speaker 2: I learn anything in that class? No, I didn't. I
Speaker 2: only learned when we switched classes and I got science
Speaker 2: with a different teacher. That was like the only time
Speaker 2: I learned.
Speaker 1: That's really interesting. I had some bad teachers over the years,
Speaker 1: Miss Thomas or my second grade teacher. For whatever reason,
Speaker 1: she just did not like kids, and she didn't like me.
Speaker 1: And I remember we had a Christmas project one time
Speaker 1: where we had it's hard to explain, but everybody else's
Speaker 1: project was going great and I didn't get it. I
Speaker 1: didn't know, and I remember crying and being frustrated, and
Speaker 1: she made fun of my project in front of the
Speaker 1: entire class. Gosh, just not a good person. But then
Speaker 1: I had some great teachers as well. But if you
Speaker 1: are a teacher or a parent, call out this could
Speaker 1: be fun gossipy. Don't tell me who they are where
Speaker 1: they work, but just you know, give them a fake
Speaker 1: name and say yeah, there's a teacher at my school
Speaker 1: that they ex yz. I would love to hear about
Speaker 1: that one. So the little topic for discussion next one
Speaker 1: from LEXI. I think smoking weed would definitely help you
Speaker 1: guys with coming up with ideas for the show. However,
Speaker 1: it's none of you smoke weed. I will do it
Speaker 1: for you. Here I am, and I've come up with
Speaker 1: a segment idea. Here we go. My idea is called
Speaker 1: did you know this is actually made for that? This
Speaker 1: came to me listening to Today's podcast Wednesday and an
Speaker 1: email brought up people with the baby on board stickers
Speaker 1: and how they drive slowly. Here is where this segment
Speaker 1: comes in. Did you know those baby on board signs
Speaker 1: are actually made to alert emergency personnel in the event
Speaker 1: of some sort of accident. People think the signs are
Speaker 1: so people drive carefully around them, but that is not
Speaker 1: the case. I'm going to go ahead and I'm going
Speaker 1: to say I don't agree. I don't believe that because
Speaker 1: I have been around long enough since the invention of
Speaker 1: the baby on board signs. They used to be a
Speaker 1: little yellow hangy thing that would hang in your back window.
Speaker 1: And I can't imagine if there is an accident that
Speaker 1: the paramedics or the cops would not go, Well, let's
Speaker 1: look and see if there's anybody else inside.
Speaker 3: Sure, yeah, Or do they have a sign on their
Speaker 3: window that says to be on board?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah for that first.
Speaker 1: Oh wait a second, the car's on fire. There's a
Speaker 1: baby on board side. So I don't know that that's true.
Speaker 1: I think I remember people buying them because they wanted
Speaker 1: people to drive carefully around them. But you know what,
Speaker 1: maybe what's your source? I want to see your source as.
Speaker 2: I'm looking it up right now, Alexi, you are incorrect.
Speaker 3: It said.
Speaker 2: The purpose is to alert other drivers that a baby
Speaker 2: is in the car, and to potentially encourage them to
Speaker 2: slow down or be more cautious. The idea came from
Speaker 2: some real estate investor who was driving his nephew home
Speaker 2: for the first time and felt the stress of other
Speaker 2: drivers cutting him off in tailgates. Oh so then he
Speaker 2: created that says while the signs are intended to alert
Speaker 2: other drivers, they are not intended to be a warning
Speaker 2: to emergency personnel.
Speaker 1: Oh so it's specifically So here's kind of an urban legend,
Speaker 1: LEXI that you bought into and don't worry about it.
Speaker 1: You gave us a great thing to talk about, and
Speaker 1: we've all fallen for urban legends. There was one when
Speaker 1: I was a kid, and it terrified me. There was
Speaker 1: a story that is a Citadel Mall in Colorado Springs,
Speaker 1: the big shopping mall, when I was a kid, that
Speaker 1: this little boy I went into the bathroom like eight
Speaker 1: years old, and two adults held him down and cut
Speaker 1: his penis off.
Speaker 3: Oh my god.
Speaker 1: And it was Yeah, it was horrible. It was horrible.
Speaker 1: And so me and my friend were about ten years
Speaker 1: old and we were terrified of that happening to us. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And I remember I went to the movie there one
Speaker 1: time and I had to pee in the middle of
Speaker 1: the movie, and I went to the bathroom really quick,
Speaker 1: and I peed and I ran out because I was
Speaker 1: worried that two guys would be lurking there, ready to
Speaker 1: hold me down and cut my penis off.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, nothing like that ever happened. There's no record of
Speaker 1: it ever happening in Colorado Springs or probably anywhere else.
Speaker 1: But I looked it up on like an urban legends website,
Speaker 1: and that was definitely an urban legend, in one of
Speaker 1: those that you know as a kid, I totally believed.
Speaker 3: They always said that when if you stuck your head
Speaker 3: out the bus window, there was an urban legend of
Speaker 3: a kid doing that and his head came off or something.
Speaker 3: So that's how they got you to never put your
Speaker 3: head out the bus window.
Speaker 1: There. Yeah, there was actually a story here in the
Speaker 1: early nineties of a kid on a party bus and
Speaker 1: he stuck his head up through the air conditioning vent
Speaker 1: whatever and it decapitated him when he went under a bridge.
Speaker 3: And that's real.
Speaker 1: That is real.
Speaker 2: I thought that was a real story, real story.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, well yeah they told that story.
Speaker 1: I believe that I do it on a school bus.
Speaker 1: Well that's a good idea, don't put your head out
Speaker 1: the window in the school bus.
Speaker 2: But then we were all like terrified.
Speaker 3: Even if we were like forehead was near the window,
Speaker 3: would be like get your head away for the oh god.
Speaker 1: Another one that Lexi says, did you know the left
Speaker 1: lane is actually made for faster traffic? Yeah? I did
Speaker 1: know that, Lexi.
Speaker 2: Are you super high when you sent us this? If so,
Speaker 2: I love it. I don't know.
Speaker 1: So. Lexi's idea is basically, people call in about an
Speaker 1: object that is commonly misused and explain the actual purpose
Speaker 1: for the object. I hope that makes sense. If it doesn't,
Speaker 1: then just pretend I never brought it up. Laugh emoji,
Speaker 1: have a merry Christmas and relaxing time off, y'all. LEXI,
Speaker 1: thank you very much. That was a lot of fun.
Speaker 2: LEXI sounds a lot like Andrew my boyfriend around like
Speaker 2: nine pm at night, where all kinds of things start
Speaker 2: coming out of his mouth, like where is your source?
Speaker 1: Yeah, next one, don't say my name? All right? Want
Speaker 1: to reach out and ask how often you guys do
Speaker 1: sound effect theater on the show. I think it's so great,
Speaker 1: So if you do that again soon, that would be
Speaker 1: fan fucking tastic. Okay, sure, here's a random question since
Speaker 1: I'm already emailing. I remember a while back, y'all talking
Speaker 1: about initiating the lovin' and Dave said something about how
Speaker 1: it's most often always the guys initiating things. That's my experience.
Speaker 1: It depends on your partner at the time, because I've
Speaker 1: actually definitely been with people who will initiate the lovin'.
Speaker 1: But Susan does not. She does not, never has, never will.
Speaker 1: It's just and I don't know if she's got some
Speaker 1: deep seated fear of rejection. You know what I mean,
Speaker 1: because it would be really painful to like go up
Speaker 1: to your partner and be like, hey, you know what
Speaker 1: I'd like to do. I'd like to go upstairs and
Speaker 1: whatever do it, and then have the other person go,
Speaker 1: oh god, not now. I mean think about how how
Speaker 1: hurtful that would be. Sure, So maybe Susan has something
Speaker 1: in her that makes her think that I would reject that. Sure,
Speaker 1: I don't know. Anyway, she says, I was wondering what
Speaker 1: Dave and the Gang suggests for a woman who want
Speaker 1: to initiate something with their partner. Sometimes I feel like
Speaker 1: it's because we don't know how. Also as wondering if
Speaker 1: anybody had any awkward or funny stories about someone trying
Speaker 1: to initiate the lovin' or even just hit on them.
Speaker 1: I'll come back to that in a second. I think
Speaker 1: that just trying just walking up to your guy or
Speaker 1: your partner and just doing like the hey, you know,
Speaker 1: like I don't know, like you want to you want
Speaker 1: to go upstairs and bang?
Speaker 3: You would say you would walk up to somebody just
Speaker 3: say that.
Speaker 1: A woman could come up to maybe what do you
Speaker 1: say to any Hell?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've said that to Andrew before, because your relationship
Speaker 2: changes over time, like at the beginning, it's like you're
Speaker 2: all over each other, so sex just naturally happens, and
Speaker 2: eventually it's like you legitimately just say, hey, do you
Speaker 2: want to have sex right now? Because that's just like timing.
Speaker 2: You're not all over each other like you used to
Speaker 2: be and stuff. So it's yeah, I definitely have done
Speaker 2: that with Andrew.
Speaker 1: So then you put your he puts his phone down,
Speaker 1: you go upstairs, you brush your teeth, you meet in
Speaker 1: the bed, something kind of like that, right, Yeah, But
Speaker 1: I think that you can just go up and ask
Speaker 1: and say, or like hey, after we walk the dog,
Speaker 1: do you want to go upstairs and bang? Or you
Speaker 1: could be like, you know, kind of like seductive and
Speaker 1: like put on something sexy or nothing at all and
Speaker 1: then curl up next to him on the couch and
Speaker 1: you know, start initiating things. There's different ways to do it,
Speaker 1: but I think that guys definitely would appreciate that as if.
Speaker 3: Is he sitting on the couch, If so, go and
Speaker 3: sit on his lap. Done.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was gonna say you can just you don't
Speaker 2: have to say do you want to have sex. You
Speaker 2: could probably just like roll up on him and you'll
Speaker 2: know it's all like Donkey Kong, just on his lap.
Speaker 1: Have you ever had somebody try to she ate the
Speaker 1: love and her hit on you, and it was like,
Speaker 1: wait what?
Speaker 3: I had a list of people who try to hit
Speaker 3: on me, and I'm like, go, I leave me alone.
Speaker 1: So seriously, all the time, I think as a guy,
Speaker 1: I probably have, but I don't remember it, like, oh,
Speaker 1: I do remember this. This was kind of weird. I
Speaker 1: went to a friend's house back when I was twenty
Speaker 1: one or twenty two, and we were going to watch
Speaker 1: a movie and I fell asleep on the couch and
Speaker 1: I woke up and she was sitting on the couch
Speaker 1: wearing lingerie, and clearly she wanted to have sex. And
Speaker 1: I did not want to have sex with her. I
Speaker 1: was not attracted to her. Believe it or not, I
Speaker 1: did have standards, and I was like, oh, it's getting
Speaker 1: real late, I better go. And I remember the look
Speaker 1: on her face, just like kind of embarrassment and surprise
Speaker 1: and a little bit of humiliation. But I didn't want
Speaker 1: to have sex. Obviously she did, sure, and I didn't
Speaker 1: want to. And then there was one other, and I'll
Speaker 1: just this is kind of funny. There was a girl
Speaker 1: at my house I always had a crush on and
Speaker 1: it was my apartment, my first apartment, and we ended
Speaker 1: up on my waterbed and I had a waterbed. Of
Speaker 1: course I did come on he did, Yeah, of course
Speaker 1: I did. And she was beautiful and she was like
Speaker 1: I always had a crush on her, and she's naked
Speaker 1: on my waterbed and she said I want you, and
Speaker 1: I didn't know what that meant. I thought she meant
Speaker 1: I want you, I want you for my boyfriend. Oh,
Speaker 1: and I respected her too much to have sex with
Speaker 1: her because to me, she was a goddess, so I
Speaker 1: didn't try to have sex with her. There she was
Speaker 1: writhing on my waterbed, going I want you, and I
Speaker 1: thought she meant I want to be your boyfriend your girlfriend.
Speaker 1: So I'm like, I think I probably said I want
Speaker 1: you to and nothing happened. So we got dressed and
Speaker 1: that was it, and I missed my chance. Any other
Speaker 1: stories anybody else?
Speaker 2: I mean, I have some funny stories, probably not about
Speaker 2: initiating sex and denying it, but like I remember being
Speaker 2: out one time at the Loop and this guy was
Speaker 2: chatting with me at the bar and then he was
Speaker 2: like starting to hit on me. But I think Andrew
Speaker 2: and I had been dating at the time, and so
Speaker 2: we were dating, and so I was like, yeah, I
Speaker 2: got a boyfriend. And then he realized who I was,
Speaker 2: and he told me that his baby mama told him
Speaker 2: he should try to get with me, and so like,
Speaker 2: like she knew me from the morning show, okay, and
Speaker 2: then he was like, man, he's like, I'm bummed you
Speaker 2: have a boyfriend now, because literally my baby mom was like,
Speaker 2: I think you and Jenny from the Dave Rideshow would
Speaker 2: really hit it off.
Speaker 1: And I love that.
Speaker 2: You and your baby mama have that kind of ships
Speaker 2: that I thought that that was a funny one.
Speaker 1: That is an unusual one, for sure. I will only
Speaker 1: go back to say that guys will love it if
Speaker 1: you try to initiate sex.
Speaker 2: Just sit on his lap.
Speaker 1: I mean, you can try that straddle lap, straddle his lap,
Speaker 1: but if he's playing Call of Duty Modern Warfare and
Speaker 1: you're straddling his lap, it probably ain't gonna work. It'd
Speaker 1: be like, bitch, yeah, I'm playing Call of Duty Modern Warfare.
Speaker 3: And with my bros right now.
Speaker 1: One Needter writes in and This is a rant that
Speaker 1: is written, not recorded. I went out and bought a
Speaker 1: box of black Lake text gloves, and I got one
Speaker 1: size smaller to make sure there was a tight fit.
Speaker 1: I am preparing to slap the shit out of every
Speaker 1: person at worked. That ends the conversation soon or next
Speaker 1: week with see you next year? Fuck? When will people
Speaker 1: get over saying that? The first couple of thousand times
Speaker 1: people said it, it was okay, Hahi, I get it.
Speaker 1: It's old. Now stop saying it. Okay, I'm done, love y'all,
Speaker 1: Merry Christmas. I missed the point of your what the glove?
Speaker 1: The lakes glove?
Speaker 3: Maybe she got the glove so she could slap the people?
Speaker 1: Is that what it is? Okay? Now it makes sense. Okay,
Speaker 1: I think it's funny when you say see you next year.
Speaker 3: You would think it's funny when I.
Speaker 1: Leave here tomorrow and I won't see you guys until
Speaker 1: January second. You bet your fat ass. I'm gonna say
Speaker 1: see you next year. Of course I will.
Speaker 2: My bit, I kind of like saying it too sometimes.
Speaker 1: Good bit. Let's see if I have another one? Not
Speaker 1: really all right? This is one that I will go
Speaker 1: ahead and put on here. It says, we were talking
Speaker 1: about wedding speeches and reminded me of a story. Rewind
Speaker 1: to about two thousand and eight. A group of about
Speaker 1: twelve of friends would get together once a month for
Speaker 1: dinner at a restaurant new to us. Tried a lot
Speaker 1: of cool new places, and with a group of twelve
Speaker 1: for more. The service was sometimes not always the best,
Speaker 1: but we understood we've been in the industry before, so
Speaker 1: we get it well. One meet up, the server comes
Speaker 1: up to our table, props a leg up on one
Speaker 1: of the barstools, pulls out an iPhone from his apron,
Speaker 1: and starts typing away. He barely looked up from his
Speaker 1: phone to greet our party. We were all appalled the
Speaker 1: restaurants we were worked at didn't even allow phones on
Speaker 1: the floor, let alone while greeting a table rude. None
Speaker 1: of us mentioned it out loud, but we all mentioned
Speaker 1: plenty of exchange, plenty of dirty, judgmental looks to each other.
Speaker 1: We carry on, ordering a slew of craft beers from
Speaker 1: the server while he continues to text away and go
Speaker 1: so uh huh uh huh. Then the quote really super rude.
Speaker 1: Server turns the iPhone around and shows us all of
Speaker 1: our drinks orders nicely organized for each stool around our
Speaker 1: bar top table. Oh my gosh, egg on our face.
Speaker 1: The guy wasn't being rude. He was doing his job.
Speaker 2: But I was just going to say. I was like,
Speaker 2: he must have been like taking orders on his phone.
Speaker 2: But on his phone, that's weird. They have a little
Speaker 2: machine thing.
Speaker 1: Maybe he looked at the big table and thought I
Speaker 1: got to write these down because some servers. We've done
Speaker 1: contests like this where servers will come up and say,
Speaker 1: what can I take your order with no pad, no
Speaker 1: order thing, and it's like they're amazing at doing it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean we've done the contest before, and I
Speaker 2: don't know. I've worked in the industry many, many years,
Speaker 2: and I just feel like there's certain people who can
Speaker 2: do it and certain who try to do it, and
Speaker 2: they should never do it.
Speaker 1: Yep, which one were you?
Speaker 2: I was in the in between. If it was a
Speaker 2: party of five or less, I could do it. If
Speaker 2: it was a party of six or more, I couldn't.
Speaker 2: And it depended on the day. Like I got you
Speaker 2: super busy. I wasn't fucking around trying to memorize stuff.
Speaker 2: I was writing shit down because I didn't have time
Speaker 2: to screw up in order, you know, so usually I
Speaker 2: wrote everything down.
Speaker 1: She concludes with, So now I have to ask, do
Speaker 1: we think electronic devices are taking away from our service
Speaker 1: industry nowadays? Have a great day from Tammy. Not that
Speaker 1: I've noticed. No, I will tell you this again. This
Speaker 1: sounds like I'm doing an ad for Top Golf. We
Speaker 1: were at Top Golf last night and we had the
Speaker 1: best server. She was like. First of all, she like
Speaker 1: walked us out to our little tea box. She told
Speaker 1: us what games are recommended, and what you know, blah
Speaker 1: blah blah, if you need anything whatever, And she checked
Speaker 1: back a couple of times before we were ready, and
Speaker 1: she was prompt with the food, and she was great
Speaker 1: and friendly. And I tipped her. I think it was
Speaker 1: one hundred dollars bill and I had a gift card,
Speaker 1: so now it's fifty dollars. But I tipped her twenty
Speaker 1: five dollars on the one hundred dollar bill. Yeah, because
Speaker 1: she deserved it, because she was great.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, But I.
Speaker 1: Don't know what my point isn't saying that but just
Speaker 1: shout out to great.
Speaker 3: I feel like the only time I think like tech
Speaker 3: is taking over and kind of like ruining the experience
Speaker 3: is when you go to places and you only order
Speaker 3: off of like a tablet at your table and you
Speaker 3: don't talk to anybody.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's I kind of agree with that. I think
Speaker 2: that that takes away from the service stuff. I will
Speaker 2: say that maybe I saw this, they're taking away the
Speaker 2: wellness charges that they put it's no longer allowed.
Speaker 1: Oh, tell me about that. I don't know about it.
Speaker 1: What about it?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean just it's a law in Minnesota that's
Speaker 2: going to be put in place in twenty twenty six
Speaker 2: because ever since COVID there's all these like random charges
Speaker 2: and stuff. People will still be allowed to add the
Speaker 2: tip to the bill, but in twenty twenty or not
Speaker 2: twenty twenty six, I think next year twenty five. Yeah,
Speaker 2: they aren't allowed to do wellness charges anymore, which was
Speaker 2: basically to help people get health insurance and stuff. I
Speaker 2: don't know. I think that there's a lot of speculation
Speaker 2: as to how much money of that is going to
Speaker 2: servers to help them with that.
Speaker 3: Yea.
Speaker 2: I think there's a lot of people that are like,
Speaker 2: who's actually seeing this money.
Speaker 1: That's a good point. Yeah, And I don't think that that.
Speaker 1: I mean, if you want to just pay your cut
Speaker 1: to pay them more or charge more for food, then
Speaker 1: I guess that's a way to do it. But you know,
Speaker 1: charging is kind of like, hey, pay my employees insurance
Speaker 1: was a little bit weird and apparently illegal or they're
Speaker 1: making it illegal.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not entirely sure of the reasoning behind it,
Speaker 2: but I will say as a former server, I'm kind
Speaker 2: of excited to see that because, like, I don't know,
Speaker 2: we all got by when I was as a.
Speaker 1: Server without that, but well, now you're becoming an old
Speaker 1: lady going back.
Speaker 2: But I have to imagine that that stuff affected server's
Speaker 2: tips in a negative way.
Speaker 3: Oh.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, So that's why it's like, as a server, you
Speaker 2: have to pick and choose your battles. Do you want
Speaker 2: a good tip or do you want to risk pissing
Speaker 2: people off because there's an extra charge on your bill?
Speaker 1: And that is it for the Minnesota Goodbye one more
Speaker 1: before Christmas, and if you want to be on that one,
Speaker 1: send an email to Ryan's show at kadiwb dot com.
Speaker 1: Thanks for listening.
