Speaker 1 (00:00):
So here is the latest moving giving away packing Facebook
Markets Place update. When Carson was a little boy two
years old, my dad, who was eighty eight at the time,
came to visit and I said, Dad, when you come
to visit, I want to build a train table for Carson.
So we built a train table and we you know,
he helped design it because he was really good at

(00:21):
that kind of thing. And I think I did this sawing,
and we went down. We bought boards at home Depot
or Benards or whatever, and we spent the weekend in
the basement building this train table. And then there's the
base of it that you buy over at you know,
whatever toy store that has you know, the Thomas the train,
you know, graphics on it or whatever. And so Carson,
you know, it's sad, he never really got into his

(00:44):
train table. It just wasn't his thing. But we kept
that train table all these years later. And now that
was twenty two years ago. And that was and then
my dad went home. He got sick. Short like the
night he got home, he got sick, went to the
hospital and never came out of the hospital.

Speaker 2 (00:58):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (00:59):
So it was the last thing that my dad and
I really did together. Was build this train table. So
we've kept it in the basement all these years and
it's a nice train table, but we have no use
for it. So I made the hard decision to give
it away on Facebook Marketplace. And it's one of those
things where I can't keep it just because it's sentimental.

(01:19):
It's huge, it's a train table. Yeah, but it was
kind of hard to give it away. We gave it
away to somebody who's got a little four year old
boy who's really into trains and Thomas the Train and whatever.
But it was probably one of the harder things to
give away. And I thought when we built it, I thought,
this is just an heirloom. We'll keep this forever. Carson

(01:39):
will give it to his kid, or Alison will give
it to her kid or whatever. So that is the
latest throwing things and giving things away that are sentimental.

Speaker 3 (01:47):
One is a tough one though, because it is like,
oh man, the sentiment behind it. But it's also like,
I don't know, I'm so about getting rid of things,
so like, especially something that takes up a lot of space.

Speaker 4 (01:58):
So I would do the same thing you.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
Did, send an email and let me know if there
was something that you had to give away, or that
your mom gave you that you lost, or you know,
I don't know something because everybody's got Is there something
that you want, Bailey from your mom or your dad
when they're gone, there's like that DIBs on that one, Madison,
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (02:17):
Well.

Speaker 5 (02:17):
So, my my uncle died like three years ago, and
he lived in like the house that also belonged to
my grandparents, and like my dad grew up in it, okay,
And so when when he died and my dad had
to like go in and like clean out everything, me
and my sister were like like fighting each other to
try and like get in there and grab whatever we

(02:39):
wanted to like remember that house.

Speaker 2 (02:41):
Because the house isn't there anymore. They like tore it down.
The house.

Speaker 5 (02:43):
Oh really, I mean it was like on dinky town property.
So they were like, ooh sweet, we can put you know,
apartments in here. So so yeah, I mean I have
a bunch of stuff that's like sentimental that way, and
I'm sure that when my parents die, well sad, when
my parents die, I want something that's in their house,
but not everything in their house.

Speaker 2 (03:05):
Like, my dad is a knickknack guy. He has so
many knickknacks.

Speaker 5 (03:08):
Ye, but I would want to like take the knickknacks
that he specifically had, like for the longest time that
I like recall is in like, oh, when I go
to my dad's house, that's the thing I want that.

Speaker 2 (03:19):
Yeah, so I would want that kind of stuff I
got you.

Speaker 5 (03:22):
Yeah, but like I don't know, nothing really in my
mom's house is is like that necessarily, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
Her house is just kind of a house Jenny anything.

Speaker 3 (03:31):
No, my dad is getting even worse with his hoarding ways,
to the point that like I physically didn't want to
be in his duplex when I was home for Christmas.
Like that, I think there's we got to talk to
my dad about that. It's getting bad how much shit
he has. Yeah, so there's really definitely nothing I want
from him. I'm sure there's stuff like.

Speaker 4 (03:52):
With my mom I'll want, but I'm more of.

Speaker 3 (03:54):
Just like I don't like things that take up space,
but like something like pictures, I will want all the
pictures stuff like that. Oh, sure, definitely want stuff like that.
Like the only thing I really keep around my house
that's like nostalgic or sentimental is I have one little
like Ottoman box, thing that I throw in my like,
for instance, all of the passes we've gotten for jingle

(04:14):
Ball and Star Party, like those lanyards, I've thrown.

Speaker 4 (04:16):
All those in.

Speaker 1 (04:17):
You've thrown them away, throw them.

Speaker 4 (04:19):
I keep them in a box.

Speaker 3 (04:20):
I get that I keep cards, birthday cards, thank you cards,
well not usually thank you cars, but always birthday cards.
And then like in Morocco, any kind of like receipt
I got for something.

Speaker 2 (04:31):
That I did that was kind of rough.

Speaker 3 (04:32):
Yeah, So like that's like the stuff that I keep
that doesn't take up a lot of space because it's
usually just like paper, and I can throw it in
this one Ottoman.

Speaker 1 (04:39):
Okay, I get that. I have found receipts for all
kinds of things over the years too, like tickets to
a show or or receipts to you know, the Grand
Canyon Railroad train or whatever. And I find these, you know,
twenty years later, and I've never looked at them, and
it's like, oh, throw those away. All right, let's move
on from that too. But your content for the Minnesota Goodbye,

(05:03):
Let's start off with this one. Hello Gang. A while back,
somebody wrote in saying Jenny should not have long hair
because she is too old. That's a terrible suggestion. See
the group of fifteen Pinterest photos of women over fifty below.
Most of them have long hair, and they all look
great as long as it makes her happy. It's perfectly okay.
Long hair has no age limit. And I scrolled down,

(05:27):
but for some reason, my oh, the content is blocked.
But let me just see. Oh yeah, there's a bunch
of hot babes with long hair. Jenny. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (05:36):
I mean, I uh disagreed with that person that said that,
And I will not be cutting my hair anytime soon. However,
I think there will be a point in life where
I'm just gonna become so lazy that I'll be like,
fuck it, give me the mom like bob cut or something.

Speaker 4 (05:49):
Like my mom bob. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (05:50):
Like, I just won't want to deal with it because
my hair is a lot of work because it's thick
and long.

Speaker 1 (05:55):
Well, don't worry, it'll thin as you get older.

Speaker 4 (05:56):
I know.

Speaker 3 (05:57):
I feel like it is kind of starting to do
that in the front ish areas of my hair.

Speaker 1 (06:03):
Most of the women that I know are around my age,
and it's just like guy's hair. Guy's hair thins as
it gets they get older and women's hair can thin also. However,
I know a few like Extreme Jamie's ex wife Melissa.
Her and I are good friends. She's got hair like
a horse's tail. It is so thick. It's just like wow,
yeah yeah, they say. By the way, the commercials on

(06:25):
the podcast are more plentiful and louder. It's too loud
on my headphone, so every time the commercials blast when
I'm walking the dog outside, I get to take off
my gloves in the cold and readjust the volume when
the commercial starts and when it ends. It makes me
not want to listen to your podcast as it's a
pain in the ass. I know it's not your fault.
Just tell iHeart what listeners are saying. Please, thanks, and

(06:47):
have a great day.

Speaker 2 (06:48):
We don't have that kind of control over it, unfortunately.

Speaker 1 (06:51):
No, And we have tried over and over and over
and it just falls on deaf hairs. So, by the way,
can I tell you, Bailey today, you look like Amy
Hawkert from Fox nine News. And that's a compliment. Yeah,
look her up. Amy Hawker's a good friend of mine.

Speaker 2 (07:07):
Just straightened my hair today. I took out the straightener. No,
and that's probably what it is.

Speaker 1 (07:10):
Because look up Amy Hawkert from Fox nine News h
O C K E R T.

Speaker 5 (07:15):
Oh.

Speaker 2 (07:16):
Oh she's a white woman with brown hair.

Speaker 1 (07:17):
Yeah. No, no, well there's more than that. You've got
the same There's more to it than.

Speaker 2 (07:21):
That you have straight hair.

Speaker 1 (07:23):
Yeah, you look like Amy Hawker. Yeah, and she's very try.
She was on our show one time twenty years ago
and Gary Spivey was on. And Gary Spivey art psychic,
looked at Amy's like, you're gonna meet it. You're gonna
meet a man down in Florida. You're gonna get married.

Speaker 2 (07:36):
I remember this story.

Speaker 1 (07:37):
Yeah, And Amy was like, you know, skeptical that Gary
said you're gonna meet a man in Florida, you're gonna
get married. Sure enough, Amy met a man in Florida,
got married, happy, couple of kids.

Speaker 4 (07:48):
Diggity dog.

Speaker 2 (07:49):
So wow, it's gonna happen for me.

Speaker 3 (07:50):
Did you ask Gary something about your love life recently
when he.

Speaker 5 (07:54):
Was in Honestly, the last time he was in it
was when or before like this passed Halloween. The one
before that is when I was just starting to date Trip. Yeah,
and he was like, yeah, this is the one. And
obviously that wasn't it, And so anytime I predicted anything.

Speaker 4 (08:11):
Now now dating regular guy pretty much.

Speaker 5 (08:13):
When he starts to talk about my love life, because
Dave always asks him about my love life, I tune out.

Speaker 4 (08:18):
But then doesn't He didn't he call you out last time,
So you got to believe.

Speaker 5 (08:21):
He's like, you got to believe in it, Bailey, and
I was like, Okay, if you believe it, you can
achieve it.

Speaker 4 (08:27):
I know, I know.

Speaker 1 (08:29):
Next one, Rebecca says, And these are emails to Ryan
Show at katiewbat on com if you want to get
on the next Minnesota Goodbye Ryan Show at kadiwbat dot com.
Rebecca says. This weekend and I, my husband and I
tried a sauna for the very first time. We found
a woman who sets up a wood fired sauna in
a local park during the winter months, and we booked
a private hour long session. About five minutes in, I

(08:53):
told my husband I can't do this in anymore. It
was so hot. It was one hundred and eighty degrees
to be exact, geez. But then ten minutes she has
you step outside, run through the snow, and stand in
the freezing cold before heading back into the sauna. By
the end of the hour, I felt calm and loose
and relaxed.

Speaker 2 (09:12):
Nice.

Speaker 1 (09:13):
It turned into one of the most relaxing experiences I've
ever had. Super happy. I stuck with it. I will
definitely be doing it again. Have a great week from Rebecca.
Very random, out of the blue email about saunas. But
I really appreciate that. I've never really experienced a sauna
outside of like lifetime, right, and you go in and
it smells like cedar, and it's like steamy and whatever

(09:35):
is Wait? Is that the sauna is the one that's hot?

Speaker 4 (09:38):
What's in the steam room?

Speaker 1 (09:40):
Steam room is just a steam room, Yeah, where you.

Speaker 3 (09:42):
Can Yeah, it's just steam and hot and you're just
immediately like damn when you walk into a steam room.
They have like little kind of portable saunas now around
like Cedar Lake and Lake of the Aisles. Yeah, and
so you can I think I don't know exactly how
they work, but there's like a QR coat on the side.

Speaker 2 (10:00):
But the last time I looked it up, it's like
thirty or forty dollars.

Speaker 4 (10:03):
Oh, I.

Speaker 5 (10:06):
Wish that would be so nice. But yeah, they're and
they're kind of like clear, like see through. It's because
it's made of glass, and then I keep worrying, like
what if someone saw me in there?

Speaker 2 (10:15):
I don't want that. But yeah, you could just like kind.

Speaker 5 (10:17):
Of walk in pay like for a slot of time,
I guess, which is kind of cool.

Speaker 4 (10:22):
Man.

Speaker 3 (10:23):
My friend Rick put a sauna on his property. He
has a house and on some small lake in the suburbs,
and it has this huge circular window out of it.
It fits probably like fucking twenty people if you really wanted,
but maybe like ten. That might be an exaggeration. But
it looks out on the lake. It's the most peaceful
thing ever. So he also a jacuzzi on his deck.

(10:45):
So we'll go to the Jagazi. Yeah, we'll go on
the jacuzzi and then we'll walk through the snow. Choose
a sauna so you cool off in the in between.
You go on the sauna, then you walk out of that,
you go back into the jacuzzi.

Speaker 5 (10:56):
Again.

Speaker 4 (10:56):
It's just it's a vibe.

Speaker 1 (10:59):
Another last one we're going to have time for on
this one. Hello you wonderful Dave. Ryan show Ers head
right in to express in response to your recent Minnesota goodbye.
Regarding headphones and bike paths, please do not recommend many speakers.
They are much louder and annoying than you realize. To
your trail, enjoin neighbors. Maybe just pop in only one

(11:21):
air pod and we can all go along in peace.
That's from Lisa. I respect that, Lisa. I have a
little tiny speaker that's about the size of a box
of tic TACs that will magnet or clip to your
jacket or your collar or whatever. And that's what I use,
and I really enjoy it. But I'm very respectful. When
I see somebody coming the other way, I usually pause

(11:41):
it because I don't want to, you know. I kind
of try to think of like, Okay, if I'm listening
to music or a podcast and here comes somebody the
other way and they're blaring their music. Do I want
to hear that? Well, no, but I either keep it
turned down or I pause it. So I try to
be respectful, but I really enjoy it. I will say,
if you use a speaker, don't use a JBL blue
pill speaker.

Speaker 2 (12:02):
A boom box on my shoulder, right, don't do that.

Speaker 1 (12:06):
But I think it's okay, you know. And the path
that I walk on is not crowded. It is not
if I see one other person on the path. That's common.

Speaker 5 (12:15):
Yeah, there's this one woman who bikes around the lake
when like in the summertime and always has this blaring music.
But then in my point of view, it's just like, well, Okay,
she's coming and then she's going, and then I'll hear
it and then it'll be gone.

Speaker 4 (12:29):
Yeah, that's how I feel about it too. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (12:31):
I mean it would be one thing if I was
sitting on a beach and then somebody's like playing something
and I'm like, I can't go and I need you
to leave.

Speaker 2 (12:38):
What the heck.

Speaker 1 (12:38):
There's always a family at Lakemanwashta Regional Park at the
picnic area when we go there. We go there several
times during the summer. We take the girls and they
wait around and it's fun. There's always one family that's
playing music, and I know they think they're being respectful
because they keep it low, but when I can hear
their music, that's too loud. I don't want to hear
your music. I don't want to hear poison. I don't

(12:59):
want to hear or your you know, your def leopard.
I don't want to hear your you know, like era,
I don't want to hear it, right, and I know
that they're like, Okay, let's keep it low, but if
I can hear it, then it's not low enough, then
that's too loud.

Speaker 2 (13:11):
All right.

Speaker 1 (13:12):
That is it for the Minnesota Goodbye, comments on saving
things from your parents, Bluetooth speakers, whatever we'd love to
hear from you. Send your email for tomorrow's Minnesota Goodbye
