Speaker 1: It's the Minnesota. Goodbye Bailey and Jenny here vaannt will
Speaker 1: be joining us in a little bit. This says, hi, friends,
Speaker 1: please don't say my name. I have not written to
Speaker 1: you before, so I am nervous even writing this email.
Speaker 1: I heard Bailey went on a trip to London by
Speaker 1: herself on the show this morning, and that gave me
Speaker 1: an idea. I am off of work for two weeks.
Speaker 1: My spouse cannot take time off of work, and he's
Speaker 1: on prep for a bodybuilding show, so he cannot eat
Speaker 1: anything but meal prep. My fourteen year old son would
Speaker 1: prefer to do anything except go somewhere with his mom.
Speaker 1: Then I heard Bailey and I wanted to ask for
Speaker 1: your advice, slash opinions. Please, First, is it selfish for
Speaker 1: me to go on a trip by myself and leave
Speaker 1: my husband and son home alone? And second, where would
Speaker 1: you go if you could take a few days and
Speaker 1: go somewhere by yourself?
Speaker 2: And why? Thanks for your help. Okay, this is hard.
Speaker 1: I feel like for me to answer as not being
Speaker 1: a parent, But even though I'm not a parent, I
Speaker 1: don't think it's selfish for you to go on a
Speaker 1: trip by yourself. No, I think if your husband, which
Speaker 1: I'm assuming he is very capable of taking care of
Speaker 1: your guys son on his own, and you can do
Speaker 1: that and you can have some time and you probably
Speaker 1: need some time away by yourself.
Speaker 3: Anyways, I feel like you could rebrand it and call
Speaker 3: it boys Weekend and so that they could have, you know,
Speaker 3: time together to do all, you know, the boys stuff
Speaker 3: that they want to do. And then you'll be like,
Speaker 3: you guys are going to have fun on boys Weekend
Speaker 3: and I'm gonna leave versus I'm going on a vacation
Speaker 3: alone and I'm leaving you.
Speaker 4: Both to deal with whatever.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but if you reframe it, I think you could
Speaker 3: totally get away with it. In terms of like where
Speaker 3: to go obviously, like if you only have a handful
Speaker 3: of days, it kind of depends on how much of
Speaker 3: that time do you want to be spending like driving
Speaker 3: or flying to wherever you're going, like the travel itself,
Speaker 3: So if you want to go somewhere like close by,
Speaker 3: I mean, Fallin was just in Door County and that
Speaker 3: seemed lovely, so you could go to Door County. I'm
Speaker 3: always for going to like Chicago, but I like city
Speaker 3: kind of stuff and things to do. In a city,
Speaker 3: and obviously that city's bigger than ours, so there's.
Speaker 4: Got to be way more to do there. I don't know, Jenny,
Speaker 4: where do you think?
Speaker 2: I mean?
Speaker 1: I think those are both really good options if you're
Speaker 1: willing to do like a longer drive by yourself, than yeah,
Speaker 1: you could do like Door County up by I believe
Speaker 1: it's called the Apostle Islands Metaline Island. That's kind of
Speaker 1: been the upper part of Wisconsin as well. That's another option.
Speaker 1: Chicago's great. I love getting up early when like no
Speaker 1: one's awake and exploring a city by myself and having
Speaker 1: no itinerary, like I just get out and walk. So
Speaker 1: I did that the last time I went to Chicago,
Speaker 1: and it was probably my favorite part of this trip
Speaker 1: to Chicago, even though I was there with people. Sure,
Speaker 1: and I don't know, if you're a big city person
Speaker 1: New York City, you could never go wrong with that.
Speaker 3: I've always wanted to go to This is random left
Speaker 3: field Mackinaw Island, which is in Michigan. I've never been,
Speaker 3: but I was like really into the movie Somewhere in
Speaker 3: Time when I was in high school, and it's all
Speaker 3: set in Mackinaw island and it's just like beautiful. There's
Speaker 3: no cars or anything, and you just walk around and
Speaker 3: take bikes everywhere, and it's like picturesque, kind of storybook place.
Speaker 1: So I have been looking at doing a trip there
Speaker 1: in the last couple of years. It is a kind
Speaker 1: of tedious sort of trip if you're going by yourself,
Speaker 1: because you it's you can fly, but usually you have
Speaker 1: to like connect or the flight oh curly expensive. So
Speaker 1: to drive from the Twin Cities, I'm pretty sure it's
Speaker 1: like an eight hour drive and then you have to
Speaker 1: leave your car you get on a ferry to get
Speaker 1: over to the island. So it just depends on like
Speaker 1: if you're willing to do a drive like shit by
Speaker 1: yourself or not. But yes, I've thought about that too,
Speaker 1: and also if it's coming up soon, summertime I think
Speaker 1: is very busy for them. So I don't know what
Speaker 1: kind of maybe I know. I only say that because
Speaker 1: I like, all last summer there were like me and
Speaker 1: some girlfriends were trying to plan some stuff, and I'm
Speaker 1: like the planner, So I kept looking at going there
Speaker 1: and figuring out how to do it. And we only
Speaker 1: had a couple of days and with like the driving
Speaker 1: there and back. It was just like not a lot
Speaker 1: of work.
Speaker 3: I'm not sure about other like weekend kind of stuff.
Speaker 3: Like me and my mom always said that we want
Speaker 3: to go like on a weekend trip to like Graceland
Speaker 3: because we're really into Elvis, and so I feel like
Speaker 3: anywhere in Tennessee, like a major city in Tennessee would
Speaker 3: be a nice like weekend kind of trip would be
Speaker 3: a fun kind of vibe. I'm just trying to think
Speaker 3: like places that you could get a lot of stuff
Speaker 3: done in like a couple of days.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love San Diego too, and I almost did
Speaker 1: a trip there by myself for my birthday one year,
Speaker 1: but my girlfriend ended up coming last minute. But I
Speaker 1: was going to go just by myself and explore, and
Speaker 1: once again, I didn't really have like any kind of
Speaker 1: itinerary for it. So yeah, that's kind of what we
Speaker 1: did in the end.
Speaker 3: Have something planned for like the night, yeah, and then
Speaker 3: like have the day be like whatever you want. You like,
Speaker 3: walk by a museum, great, go into the museum. You
Speaker 3: walk by a park, great, go into the park, and
Speaker 3: then have plans at nighttime.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, let's get on.
Speaker 1: We have quite a few emails, so I want to
Speaker 1: get to a bunch of these, so this one's that's
Speaker 1: good morning. I was listening to the segment of Monsters
Speaker 1: the Pot about the amount of money that people spend
Speaker 1: on their kids' birthday parties. I have two young children myself,
Speaker 1: and I used to think similarly, and I agree if
Speaker 1: your goal is for photos on social media, you are
Speaker 1: doing it for the wrong reason. However, I don't think
Speaker 1: there is anything wrong with making the day actra spec
Speaker 1: for your children, because, even though they won't remember it,
Speaker 1: all those little moments when their brain is developing a
Speaker 1: feeling extra love, extra attention, and your engagement with the
Speaker 1: child is so crucial for brain development and for them
Speaker 1: to understand love.
Speaker 2: So while you may not need to hire.
Speaker 1: A full Disney princess cast, it's okay to have people
Speaker 1: over and have some extra decorations and get people really
Speaker 1: excited with some additional things along those lines. Now that
Speaker 1: my children are older and have friends, it's also okay
Speaker 1: not to go overboard and expect to pay for ten
Speaker 1: kids to go to a trampoline park or mini golf.
Speaker 1: In we had our son's kindergarten class over for his birthday.
Speaker 1: I ordered a couple pizzas, and I played music and
Speaker 1: gave the kids all glow sticks for a dance party.
Speaker 1: The whole thing costs less than one hundred dollars and
Speaker 1: he had a blast nice job on the show this
Speaker 1: week without daddy bear yag. They say, and that comes
Speaker 1: from Rebecca Vant. What do you feel about that?
Speaker 5: I have two things to ask one, don't you and
Speaker 5: I'm just playing Devil's advocate. Wouldn't you want to spend
Speaker 5: that money when you're child is old enough to remember
Speaker 5: those things? That was I think the point. I think
Speaker 5: I made that original point when I said it. Yeah,
Speaker 5: like I think that a kid who's one or two
Speaker 5: or three won't remember, Like, sure, they're developing feelings, but
Speaker 5: they could experience those feelings of love without you having
Speaker 5: to spend an arm and a leg. I feel like,
Speaker 5: you know, as a let's just say, what nine or
Speaker 5: ten year old who gets this grandiose birthday party where
Speaker 5: all the Disney princesses are there in bouncy houses and
Speaker 5: funnel cake machines and stuff, I think that's a little
Speaker 5: bit more memorable. Yeah, I mean, well, it is more
Speaker 5: memorable to feel like love, especially that's like a not
Speaker 5: an age where you're developing feelings, but it's a tender age.
Speaker 5: Second point, and I showed Bailey I found some screenshots
Speaker 5: of that birthday party. There was what did I show you?
Speaker 5: It was a whole ice cream truck. Yeah, and then
Speaker 5: there was like a two tiered cake.
Speaker 4: Not even two, it was like four tiered cake. And
Speaker 4: that's why I just think it's nuts.
Speaker 5: Jenny.
Speaker 4: I'll show it to you.
Speaker 5: But that's just why I think it's like to do
Speaker 5: all of this for a kid that's not even gonna
Speaker 5: remember any of this.
Speaker 2: That's pretty extra.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's pretty exteresting.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, Rebecca, you make some good points. I
Speaker 1: don't think that you're changing Vaughnt's mind, So we'll move
Speaker 1: on to the next one. Let's see this says, hey,
Speaker 1: don't say my name. First off, love hearing vont on
Speaker 1: the pod, and Jenny, I promise I'm not obsessed with you. Okay,
Speaker 1: maybe a little, but I feel like sometimes we are
Speaker 1: the same person. Wisconsin turned Minnesota Girly is similar anxiety journeys, love, traveling,
Speaker 1: national park, et cetera. But also, I will tell you
Speaker 1: that you are such a great radio personality.
Speaker 2: Sorry, this I feel so self serving as I'm reading this.
Speaker 2: This is the first time I'm reading that's not loud.
Speaker 1: Sure, you are such a great radio personality, and although
Speaker 1: I love Dave, it's great to hear your voice more
Speaker 1: when he's gone.
Speaker 2: Sorry Dave.
Speaker 1: Also, Jenny, I thought it was very cool, for lack
Speaker 1: of a better word, for you to share that you
Speaker 1: don't drink that much anymore, as I also have found
Speaker 1: myself to be selectively sober, as I call it. I
Speaker 1: used to also drink a lot in college as Ahm
Speaker 1: Bailey UWRF student, and then of course I would with
Speaker 1: friends after a hard day at work, weekends, et cetera.
Speaker 1: Over the last year, I I only have had maybe
Speaker 1: less than five drinks at very special occasions like a
Speaker 1: best friend's wedding or something. I have found myself feeling
Speaker 1: so much better too, and I love that you talked
Speaker 1: about it on the podcast. I think it was on
Speaker 1: I'm Still Fun. But also, can we both agree that
Speaker 1: Spotted Cow is the best? Yes, Spotted Cow super good.
Speaker 4: It's a beer, it's so good.
Speaker 1: It's a Wisconsin beer that like, it's literally illegal for
Speaker 1: them to distribute it in Minnesota, so you can't get
Speaker 1: into Minnesota, but have I bought beer and Hudson and
Speaker 1: brought it on slap It's super good. A lot of
Speaker 1: people think it's overrated. I disagree. I think it's a
Speaker 1: very good beer.
Speaker 4: One of my top five fears.
Speaker 2: She goes on today.
Speaker 1: Also, I've been playing pickaball for the last five years,
Speaker 1: and I've played in a tournament and a few fun
Speaker 1: leagues as well as drop in rec play and oh
Speaker 1: the men, Sorry men, not to generalize, but I've had
Speaker 1: to tell a few of them. I appreciate the tips,
Speaker 1: but I'm here to have fun right now and a
Speaker 1: lot of times know what I did wrong. I'll let
Speaker 1: you know when I want advice.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: It sounds maybe rude, but that's because I'm a people ploser.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I talked to about it on
Speaker 1: here or if it was on I'm still fun. But
Speaker 1: there was just someone who was kind of helping Andrew
Speaker 1: and I learn some stuff the other day and.
Speaker 2: Then it's it just, well, you didn't get weird.
Speaker 1: It just turned into like almost a full on lesson
Speaker 1: and then critiquing everything I did, and then it kind
Speaker 1: of stopped being so much fun, and like I appreciated
Speaker 1: the tips, but I yeah, okay. Lastly, you talked about
Speaker 1: what is considered hooking up. Here's a story that made
Speaker 1: me literally lool. This is from a few years ago
Speaker 1: teaching eighth graders. At the end of the school day.
Speaker 1: They're walking outside and I was walking with a group
Speaker 1: of them to help carry a student's things anyway, and
Speaker 1: behind two eighth grade boys, and at that age there
Speaker 1: is a huge range in maturity.
Speaker 2: While I hear.
Speaker 1: Boy A say to boy B, dude, did you hook
Speaker 1: up with her? Boy B responds, bro, you know it?
Speaker 1: Boy A, OMG tell me everything. Boy B, Well, first
Speaker 1: she let me hold her hand, and then I got
Speaker 1: to kiss her on the cheek and I literally died laughing,
Speaker 1: and then realized kids were looking at me and was like,
Speaker 1: oh sorry, I was thinking about something funny that happened
Speaker 1: earlier that day. Because we also had a boy in
Speaker 1: eighth grade who was a father, So of course I
Speaker 1: was like, OHMG, what is he about to say when
Speaker 1: he says how they hooked up? Oh my gosh, in
Speaker 1: eighth grade he was a father.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I know people like that.
Speaker 2: What Okay?
Speaker 1: Anyways, thanks all three of you for doing a great
Speaker 1: job and Bailey, I truly believe on being yourself and
Speaker 1: love the nerd references, but the Star Wars one made
Speaker 1: me cringe.
Speaker 2: But she does like your.
Speaker 1: Nerd references, so keep I would say, keep doing them. Thanks,
Speaker 1: and we are not saying this person's name, so thank
Speaker 1: you so much.
Speaker 2: For your email.
Speaker 1: Hello peeps, another one, Please don't say my name? Can
Speaker 1: we talk about the annoyances in life?
Speaker 2: First? Is multi factor authentication?
Speaker 4: First?
Speaker 2: Is multi factor and authentication? I say, yes, I know
Speaker 2: it's for security. Blah blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 1: My gosh, I already have a complex password that I
Speaker 1: have to switch every ninety days. Then on top of that,
Speaker 1: you're adding in the freaking multi factor authentication. It sucks period.
Speaker 1: We all agree. I agree?
Speaker 2: And also mine changed recently.
Speaker 1: I don't know how your guys has worked with Outlook,
Speaker 1: but I used to get a code texted to me
Speaker 1: for the second one. Now I have to do put
Speaker 1: a code is sent to me where I'm trying to
Speaker 1: send it log in. Then I have to put it
Speaker 1: in my phone and it has to do a face recognation.
Speaker 4: Right, yeah, like I have to put in my past always.
Speaker 1: Yes, see, mine just changed probably six months ago for that,
Speaker 1: or maybe even longer.
Speaker 2: But like Fallin and Dave don't have that.
Speaker 4: Oh it's a no.
Speaker 3: I hate to factor authentication, but I keep it like
Speaker 3: activated obviously for safety, but like I literally just got
Speaker 3: a new phone yesterday and had to reinstall all of
Speaker 3: my apps and re log in and doing that is exhausting,
Speaker 3: truly exhausting. Happened to, like remember all your passwords and
Speaker 3: do two factor authentication. My mom keeps texting me. She's like,
Speaker 3: I can't get into anything. I hate this right, Oh,
Speaker 3: Mam Mornda two yeah, Mam Rana got a new phone too,
Speaker 3: I know where.
Speaker 1: And then her second annoyance is when there is a
Speaker 1: cop behind you on the highway.
Speaker 2: Two times.
Speaker 1: That happened to me on a Friday, and I had
Speaker 1: to drive speed limit home.
Speaker 2: Not fun at all.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not flying home, but I'm just going
Speaker 1: a little bit faster than the speed limit. I swear
Speaker 1: it took me an extra ten minutes to get home.
Speaker 1: Unnamed person, you might be going a little bit over
Speaker 1: a few on the speed limit if it took you
Speaker 1: ten minutes longer to get home all the time, but thank.
Speaker 2: You for your email.
Speaker 1: Let's see This one comes from Mikayla. As I was
Speaker 1: listening to What Like the Rain, a question came to mind.
Speaker 1: When Dave retires, are you slash can you play the
Speaker 1: songs Dave did? That's all all right, Mikayla. Yes, we
Speaker 1: will definitely be able to still play those songs. Dave
Speaker 1: will probably not retire before the three of us do, though,
Speaker 1: so I don't think we'll have to worry about that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so it'll be fine.
Speaker 3: I'm looking at retirement already like I'm really playing.
Speaker 4: Benefits.
Speaker 1: Next email says, good morning, Jenny, Von and Bailey. The
Speaker 1: other day, when you guys were talking about how Vont
Speaker 1: sounds different when he talks to a black person, well,
Speaker 1: my dad also did this, but he is a white guy.
Speaker 1: For example, if he is talking with one of his
Speaker 1: neighbors that is black, he will start saying, shoot, man,
Speaker 1: what the hell have you been up to?
Speaker 2: Man?
Speaker 1: Have you seen that mother effer's rabbit in my garden?
Speaker 1: And if he talks with one of his white neighbors,
Speaker 1: he'll say something like, hi, Phil, how are you today?
Speaker 1: Have you seen the rabbit that was getting in my garden?
Speaker 1: And every time he did this we called him out
Speaker 1: on it. He was the most talking, talkative person you
Speaker 1: would have met, just his I don't know what they
Speaker 1: were trying to say. He was the most talking person
Speaker 1: you would have met, just his language changes between the two.
Speaker 4: It's called code switch switching. That's what it's called.
Speaker 5: And it's funny because we off air, we joked about
Speaker 5: the Key and Peel skit where where fake Obama is
Speaker 5: like dapping people. He's shaking like the white people in
Speaker 5: the skits hands and DAPs up the black people. And
Speaker 5: then you said, this was it actually happened, Jenny, Yeah,
Speaker 5: like actual Obama.
Speaker 4: There's a video of it with.
Speaker 1: Like basketball players or something, and so he is like
Speaker 1: dabbing up the black people and then the white people.
Speaker 2: He's like, huh, good dame, good game, good game.
Speaker 3: For you.
Speaker 1: Love that that comes from Nicole. All right, up next,
Speaker 1: huge fan here, you can say my name. Okay, hold
Speaker 1: on this says please make sure Dave reads this one.
Speaker 1: So I'm going to hold off on that one for
Speaker 1: right now. Okay, let's see. Hey guys, First, I love
Speaker 1: this team, Bailey. I wanted you on the show since
Speaker 1: you were filling in. I love you, vont OMG. I
Speaker 1: love you so much. He is such a she's reading
Speaker 1: writing it differently.
Speaker 2: He is such a.
Speaker 1: Baby and I love his insights to the show. Love you,
Speaker 1: vaunt O g Jenny, Thank you for being you, Dave
Speaker 1: and Team. I love this show so much. It's my
Speaker 1: motivation in the morning. Just wanted to thank you for
Speaker 1: being the first thing I put on in the morning
Speaker 1: and what brings me so much comfort to start my day.
Speaker 2: Love you.
Speaker 1: I definitely would love a sticker PS. The new Tesla
Speaker 1: monster truck is douchebag seeking attention.
Speaker 2: Ah, there's un parked down my street. I live in
Speaker 2: a condo. Hoa.
Speaker 1: This guy has a bright purple Tesla douchemobile. I am
Speaker 1: actually embarrassed for him and for me being his neighbor.
Speaker 1: Help that comes from jazz hilarious.
Speaker 5: People like they turn us on before they turn on
Speaker 5: a light.
Speaker 4: Yeah, if it's nuts. This show used to be my
Speaker 4: alarm clock.
Speaker 3: Really yeah, and then my alarm clock stopped working, so
Speaker 3: it doesn't go to radio anymore.
Speaker 4: It's just the my phone.
Speaker 5: Do that with Alexos. Alexis could be like, hey, hey, Alexa,
Speaker 5: wake me up with KATIEWB.
Speaker 4: Yeah what ever time? Yeah, that's nuts. Literally, my entire childhood.
Speaker 4: I woke up to katiewb.
Speaker 1: I love that. Okay, I'm sorry, I'm just like trying
Speaker 1: to read ahead to some of these emails because we
Speaker 1: have so many. You're doing great, Okay, we probably just
Speaker 1: have time for one more and we'll get to the
Speaker 1: rest tomorrow. Hey, besties, don't say my name. I was
Speaker 1: catching up on some old Minnesota Goodbye episodes that Found
Speaker 1: and Jenny were on when Dave was on vacation again. Anyway,
Speaker 1: Found said she hated her phrase that Jake says to
Speaker 1: her quite frequently when she's going to be home alone,
Speaker 1: flicking your bean. Jenny said, Andrew says this too, and
Speaker 1: you're not a fan of the phrase either.
Speaker 2: This gave me great joy to know.
Speaker 1: That I am not alone in a world where my
Speaker 1: partner thinks that the second I am alone in the house,
Speaker 1: I am flicking the bean all over the place. I
Speaker 1: am accused pretty much daily because I like to take
Speaker 1: a long shower.
Speaker 2: I am just taking a shower. Promise you.
Speaker 1: I don't think that is showering and something that you
Speaker 1: hurry up doing. I take my sweet ass time. I
Speaker 1: always say to him, pop in any time, just showering.
Speaker 1: It's so annoying. Also, in my defense, if I was
Speaker 1: diddling the bean, it's done in ten seconds. There's no
Speaker 1: long shot out process seconds.
Speaker 2: That's it. Well, girls know how to get.
Speaker 4: I mean, not ten seconds, but.
Speaker 1: I mean sometimes you probably can. Honestly, if it's been
Speaker 1: a long enough time, I probably could do it in
Speaker 1: ten seconds, but you typically, no, not quite that quick.
Speaker 1: Let's see, Bailey, have you unfortunately been accused of this rubbish?
Speaker 4: Ever?
Speaker 3: Asks No, I don't really have anyone to accuse me
Speaker 3: of it, so no, no one's ever Like Malee, what
Speaker 3: are you doing when you're home by yourself? The answer
Speaker 3: is probably snuggling my cat, Yeah, petting my cat, listening
Speaker 3: to music that I want to listen to.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: And she also asked, moot, do you do this to Alyssa?
Speaker 5: No, but I feel like, literally the past week my
Speaker 5: family has been here. I we've been late to whatever
Speaker 5: function we're going to every day, Alyssa and I, and
Speaker 5: I'm worried that my family thinks that we're late because
Speaker 5: we're fucking and we're not. Alyssa just tries on thirteen
Speaker 5: outfits before she finds one piece of one that she
Speaker 5: wants to wear.
Speaker 2: Ah to be young and fucking all the time. Wait
Speaker 2: till you guys have lived together long enough you remember that.
Speaker 2: Well we're not.
Speaker 4: That's saying. It's not even that. She's just changing it.
Speaker 2: No I know, but yeah.
Speaker 1: And she finishes her email saying, thank you Jenny and
Speaker 1: Found for sharing your stories with us. I am not alone.
Speaker 1: Have an amazing day. Sorry, this should have been for
Speaker 1: Naughty Tuesday all.
Speaker 4: The time.
Speaker 2: Oh all right, and that's how we're riding a podcast today.
Speaker 2: Thank you for all your emails.
Speaker 1: Feel free to send us more at Ryan's show at
