Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, let's dive into today's Minnesota Goodbye. This says
from Sid, who was a big contributor to the show.
We love the regulars, we love newbies, so thank you Sid.
Random questions, here we go, Jenny, can you clarify what's
happening regarding Tina used to work here? Her regular Instagram
posts about her wedding and in her wedding dress with
(00:21):
her husband, but on I'm still fun you and fall
and talk about how you're still preparing to attend Tina's wedding.
I'm confused and appreciate your clarification. Not that I have
to know, but as a fan, I am curious.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Tina got legally married back in September. I think it
was at the courthouse, but their actual wedding that they're
having to celebrate is going to be at a tropical
destination in at the end of January, so that is
the wedding that we're talking about, which I honestly didn't
know if she was doing the courthouse wedding so early.
But yeah, she is legally married already, but her actual
(00:53):
wedding wedding with friends and family is happening.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Any idea why she got married so subtly early.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
No, I think they just had to get in to
get it done, and so I'm sure timing just worked
out the best time to do it at the time
they did, okay, because they still celebrated and did like
something with their very close family for that, so it
still was like a coordination where they did like a
dinner and stuff like that, because she still got dressed
up in a wedding and dress and stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Far Okay, Bailey, did you figure out if you could
strategically place ads in the podcast? I agree they're annoying
excessively long for a less than twenty minute podcast, But
the bigger complaint is the sound levels. I have that
knob turned up to hear the Minnesota Goodbye, then bam,
somebody is saying athlete wrong and screaming and waking the dead.
I fully acknowledge the benefits of ads, and I'm way
(01:42):
too cheap to ever pay for a service without ads,
but the sound levels could be improved. Also, just a
feedback note, while Nita's rant on Wednesday was barely audible,
maybe just an issue for me, No, that was my
fault because since people have brought that up, I have
gone back and boosted her level, and I simply forgot. Okay,
so that was my bad.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
Yeah, the ads have I figured it out for so
the Minnesota goodbye, and then like our Christmas wish, when
I like upload that, I know exactly where I can
place the ad and so I can play it, hear it,
pick the best spot for the ad, throw it in volume.
I have absolutely no control over any volume whatsoever.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Can you adjust the volume? Oh no, that's what the commercial?
Never mind never mind?
Speaker 4 (02:24):
Yeah, because the commercial, I have no idea.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
I don't even I just know that I placed them,
and that's all I know how to do at all.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Number three, Dave, I don't want you to feel left out,
so I'll ask, how dare you? Well? I didn't really
see the consequences of my actions before I took the.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
Leap, before you dared, I didn't.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Have any idea that there would be a number one
of fire, number two slingshot injuries, and a number three bankruptcy.
I really had no idea.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
But if you don't dare to dream, how can you
ever achieve your goals? Truly?
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Yes, it's true. Love staff writer Sidney, Thank you, Sydney.
Always a fun one here is one from Nate. My
name is Nathan, but I'm also referred to as my
buddy Nate by Dave on the radio, and I'm brought
up for my daily wordal connections in strand score sharing.
But I am also a teacher and Apple genius. Now,
Nate does present a problem that I pre read, and
(03:17):
I'm not going to go through it because Nate, I'm
going to be really frank with you. It doesn't translate
as well on the radio. It'd be kind of more
fun to do in person. But I'll read what he describes.
I'm helping a student with a math problem today. It
reminded me of an old segment Morning Show does math,
so I thought, when I came across the question got
a chuckle out of it, I'd send it your way
to see if you'd be able to get it. Here
it is jan Nita's boss told her that once she
(03:38):
has worked with the company for ten years, her salary
will be increased to three times what she makes now
plus two thousand dollars if s represents her original salary,
which expression represents what her salary will be after ten
years at the company. Now I can try this and
see what happens one thirds plus two thousand, start fraction
(04:01):
three over and see, Nate, I'm sorry, it just doesn't
translate because unless you're listening with a pencil and paper,
I don't know, but you would you, Jenny, you're pretty
good at mass.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
Would you get over there?
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Would you be able to write out a fraction that
represents what her salary will be? If S represents her
original salary, so.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
After ten years, she'll make three times her original salary
plus two thousand, So.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
That would the answer number? See that, Nate gets it,
and you've got it exactly correct. Yes, so three S
plus two thousand?
Speaker 4 (04:35):
Wow?
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Yeah, yeah, so instead of a multiple choice, I think
it'd be just easier. And that's what I would have
come up to with two three S three salary plus
two thousand, right, yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
I mean I wasn't sure if it was more complicated
than that, so that's why I was like, I don't know, but.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Well I think that. Yeah, So Nate, thank you for
that one. In case you weren't sure. The answer is ce.
But what kind of place is one need to work?
And act? She gets at three hundred percent rate in
ten years, that's an average of thirty percent raise each
year in this economy, if she started making fifty thousand
a year and ten years she'd be making one hundred
and fifty thousand, and she gets a two thousand dollars bonus.
(05:11):
Like a lot of teachers' unions were in the middle
of negotiating contracts, we came to the bargaining table with
a proposal like this, we'd be laughed out of the building.
I know it's all made up, but giving kids this
kind of problem that's supposed to be representative of a
real life situation should be at the very least plausible.
As Juanita herself would say, that shit pisses me the
fuck off. Anyway, that's my rant for the day. I
hope you have a great day. Thank you for making
(05:33):
each day brighter with your witty, banter and relatable stories.
Love y'all From Nate Thanking Nate. I, yeah, it's kind
of funny. I'm gonna tell you a quick salary story.
You want to hear it? Yeah, true story, And I
might have told this before, but it's just kind of
the shit that managers do. So there was a guy
(05:55):
that I worked with and I'm not gonna say where
because I don't want to incriminate anybody. But this guy
was a great guy. He had worked here successfully for
a few years, and he went in to ask for
a raise. So they go, okay, well, here's what we
can give you. And now let's throats and numbers. Just
to make it fun. Let's say he was making fifty
thousand dollars a year. And let's say he goes in
and he says, you know what, I want to sign
(06:15):
a new contract. Can I make seventy five thousand dollars
a year? The boss says, no, I don't have that
kind of money. And the guy says, well, you can't
pay me seventy five I've worked here for you know,
three years. I've done a great job. Can you give
me seventy five thousand dollars a year. He's like, I
don't have it. Let me prove it to you. So
he calls the bookkeeping department and he says, hey, hey,
(06:39):
it's the boss. I'm just curious how much do we
have to pay this guy? And she didn't know that
the guy was there in the room. Okay, and she says, oh, well,
fifty five thousand. He's like, okay, thank you. So he
hangs up and he says, see, that's all we've got
is fifty five thousand. So the guy accepted fifty five thousand.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
A few weeks later, at the station party, the bookkeeper
comes over to this guy and says, that was a setup.
He told me he was going to call, and he
told me to lie and say that fifty five thousand
was all we could afford to pay.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
You.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
What a shitty, fucking shit thing to do, because that
makes the employee feel that they don't have any negotiating power,
you know what I mean. And the guy definitely did
have negotiating power. And I'll give you one more story.
When Lena worked here, Lena started off making little money,
like and this was years ago, so thirty thousand dollars
(07:34):
went probably a lot farther than it goes now. So
let's say Lena made thirty thousand, and Lena was a
big hit on the show. Everybody loved Lena. Lena was
a delight, and she's like, I've proven myself. I want
a more livable wage. And so she went in and
asked for a very reasonable figure and they said no
(07:57):
because they knew that if she was either going to
take it or leave it. So let's say they offered
her thirty eight thousand. She really deserved a lot more
than thirty eight thousand, but she went ahead and took
thirty eight thousand because they said no. And it was
like you motherfuckers, you cheap motherfuckers, and that I wouldn't
(08:19):
say that's the reason she left, but it certainly didn't help.
So people can be really shitty.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
Yeah, well this is helpful.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
And you got to negotiate from a position of strength,
and that is like I mean, sometimes you have strength,
and sometimes you have more power than you think. Yeah,
and I'm going to tell you this. The last thing
they want to do is they don't want to have
you leave because if you leave, they've got to find
somebody who is even close to as good as you
and they and cheaper, and they don't want to do
(08:50):
that job search. They don't want to do that employee search.
So if you are working at like, I don't know, Cargill,
and you're making fifty four thousand dollars a year and
you're like, I want to make you know, seventy two
thousand dollars a year, you have more power than you think.
Because they don't want to do a candidate search and
start all over again.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
Yeah, that work.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
I don't know how it works. Over to Cargill. Maybe
they have a bunch of people that they can move
up right away. But you have more power than you think.
And the other thing, the only thing I know about
negotiating is never throw out the first number. So let's
say you and I. Let's say I'm going to sell
you a motorcycle. Okay, what are you gonna pay me
for the motorcycle?
Speaker 4 (09:28):
Five thousand dollars? Baily? Oh, two thousand dollars, one hundred dollars.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
No, let her do this.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
I don't know how it works.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Just throw out a number.
Speaker 4 (09:36):
One hundred dollars.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
One hundred dollars. Yeah, oh god, not even close.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
Try it again, two hundred dollars.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Let's throw out a realistic number.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
It's about thousand, five hundred dollars.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Now, let's say I want to sell that motorcycle for
one thousand dollars. Okay, you threw out the first number.
Speaker 4 (09:57):
Of one five hundred dollars.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
My reaction would be to go, yes, I'll take it right.
But the better reaction would be like, oh man, oh,
now you think you've underbid and now you might go
seventeen hundred, or you might go I paid fifteen hundred
and I got a great deal. He didn't want to
take it, but he took it. So in other words,
(10:22):
you throw out a number, and no matter what number
you say, I say, oh, oh, oh man.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Let's say you're looking for a job. Okay, ask me
how much it pays.
Speaker 4 (10:32):
I am looking for a job. How much does it pay?
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Thirty four thousand dollars?
Speaker 4 (10:35):
Sounds great?
Speaker 1 (10:36):
No no no no no no no no no no
no sorry. I try it again.
Speaker 4 (10:39):
Okay, Hi, I'm looking for a job. How much does
it pay?
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Pays thirty four thousand dollars?
Speaker 4 (10:43):
Ooh yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Now instantly in my head I'm thinking I lowball this woman.
She knows I'm lowballing her. I'm not going to get
away with it. So I might say take it or
leave it. Or you might now say I was hoping
for more like forty six.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
I was hoping for more like forty six.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
And now it's my turn to go, oh, this is exhaustile.
I hate that, but it's it's important to have an inkling.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
On how in my brain I know I'm probably just
gonna take it anyway kind of thing. You know, you're
like me where you're like's, yeah, what did.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
You want to add, Jenny, I don't have much to add.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
I think you nailed it. I think you got it
all correct. I think most companies, though, you cannot negotiate
a wage right now, so I would say that that
is not plausible in most industries. Most industries are laying
people off and they will find employees who will work
for less because everyone needs a job.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
So yeah, okay, but don't forget they need good people.
They don't need just people who will fit fit in
their seat.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Do that. Maybe they don't care that much about that then,
because I know companies that don't give people good people raises,
and well.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
I think a lot of companies are struggling. Like I'll
be honest with you, the radio business is not struggling.
But it's also not a fool fourishing, you could say,
because we have so much competition now and radio is
still doing really well. It's something like more people listen
to the radio every week than go on social media
all platforms combined. That's a fact. More people listen to radio,
(12:16):
either on the iHeart app or on the radio, then
then go on all social media combined. And I find
that hard to believe, but that's what they say is true,
all right, next one, here we go. Listen to Minnesota,
Goodbye Tuesday. Heard Joe from California coming to Albert Lee.
I live in Spamtown, USA, ak Austin. Reaching out to
give them a few more suggestions, and here we go.
(12:37):
Maybe head up east and hit up Lanesborough for some
bike riding or tubing down the Root River. While you're there,
you can check out towns like Harmony and they're Amish shops.
They even offer Amish tours in the summer, probably in
a buggy. If you continue to go east, you'll hit
towns like Lacrosse, hiking, restaurant, shopping, views of the bluffs
and the Mississippi. There's even a paddle boat on the Mississippi
(12:58):
called the Lacrosse Queen that takes you on a short
cruise up and down the river. Along the way, you'll
find dive bars with cheese courage, Bloody Mary's and beer
chasers and some of the best burgers you'll ever have.
Thanks for being in my year every day while I
walk my two goldens, lou and URSA picture attached and
there they are. They've been swimming. That's adorable. Now off
(13:20):
the couch rot as I finished up the week before
Christmas is a third grade teacher who's been overstimulated since
Monday morning at nine. Shout out to my college drew
me Anna from Savage, who will hear this in seven
to ten business days when she finally gets caught up
on the podcast. Merry Christmas to all Olivia, Thanks Olivia,
Thank you. Olivia and Joe. If you're listening, send me
(13:40):
an email. I can't find your email address, but send
it to me. Send me an email and I will
forward these two you so you'll have them. Next one
we have time.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Oh we've got like a minute and a half.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
You let me find a short one here. I had
to chime in with a strip club story, because what
was our strip club story yesterday?
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Talking about going to strip clubs and and how the
one stripper asked you to tipper because you didn't want
to tipper and.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
She slapped the mind. She said money, motherfucker.
Speaker 4 (14:09):
Yeah, oh yeah, she didn't say please.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Amanda is from Livingston, Montana, and she writes in I
had to chime in with a strip club story. I
live in the Bozeman area, and we used to have
a local strip called called the Buffalo Jump that would
shuttle you in for free on a short bus to
the club and back. Well, we made a habit out
of throwing house parties and we would always end up
calling the strip club and they'd come by and shuttle
us to the strip club. The first year we managed
(14:33):
to get kicked out, it was a mixture of somebody
persistently trying to order me a bottle of champagne they
didn't have champagne, and some other guests trying to get
on stage. That got us eighty six. It always makes
for a good story when comparing notes of places you've
been kicked out of with friends. Write that down, Jenny,
where have you been kicked out of? That's funny. All
(14:53):
I can say is support your local dive strip club. PS.
Can I have a staff writer sticker? That would be
amazing and I will. I'll send one to you, Amanda.
Here's one from Jacqueline. She came to the Minnesota Goodbye
Live show and I remember her very very clearly. First
of all, I want to say what a great time
I had at the live show. A couple of weeks ago.
(15:14):
Being there was so many people who listened to the show,
and the Minnesota Goodbye felt like being a member of
a cool club with a bunch of inside jokes. Being
in the presence of such positivity had me in a
good mood the rest of the day, and that rarely happens.
I enjoyed meeting all of you, but I'm sorry I
didn't get to speak to each one of you individually.
But Dave, it meant the world to me that you
(15:34):
took five minutes to have a conversation with me. I
was shaking from nerves the whole time. I hope you
didn't notice. I did not notice. You really seem like
he cared about this stranger in front of you, and
as someone who has viewed you as sort of a
father figure, it was kind of a healing experience, if
that makes sense. In case you don't remember me, I
was the girl who told you I was in recovery
from drugs and alcohol, and I truly don't think I
(15:57):
would be sober had I not been such an avid
fan of your show. In my addiction, I lost almost
everyone in my life, the most traumatic loss being the
death of both of my parents before I was twenty three.
I can recall many dark, isolating moments when I didn't
think anybody would even care if I just disappeared. What
really saved me was knowing that I could open the
(16:21):
iHeart app and be in the presence of people I
consider friends. That means so much to me. That is amazing.
I think it's one of the powers of radio. Today.
I am almost three years sober, and I've just completed
all of my coursework and internships to become an addiction counselor.
Even though you weren't aware of it, you all help
me do that. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
(16:43):
I don't want this email to be too long, but
this is probably more of a question for Bailey since
she's around high schoolers more for speech. Since wearing coach
has been a topic of discussion lately, do kids not
wear letter jackets anymore?
Speaker 4 (16:55):
No.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
I graduated high school in two thousand and seven, and
my letter jacket was my pride and joy. I was
a marching band kid. I played the trumpet and I
had bars all down one sleeve, then all down the
back of the sleeve a bunch of medals. I pinned
the letter I for Irondale. I think there are the nights,
aren't they?
Speaker 4 (17:12):
They are there, aren't Like sister school.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
The thing weighed probably twenty pounds, but almost everybody at
my school had one if they lettered in something. I
still have minded this very day in the back of
a closet somewhere. No darting or licking for me as
a chronically single thirty six year old Jacqueline talk about
letter jackets.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
Yeah, the kids don't care about lettering anymore. Not one
kid has a letter jacket. I've not seen one in years,
and I've coached speech for twelve years. When I first
started coaching, kids did care about lettering, so we had like,
here's how you letter in speech xyz.
Speaker 4 (17:47):
Blah blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
And then it got to the point where I would
explain here's how you letter, and I would have kids say,
what is that?
Speaker 4 (17:55):
What does that mean? What is lettering?
Speaker 3 (17:58):
So even though technically I submit every year, like to
the powers that be, here are the kids that lettered
in debate, Here are the kids that lettered in speech.
They get their like actually the big huge letter, which
is an M for Mounts View, and then they have
to like go and pick up the bars from wherever.
But no one wears letter jackets and no one cares
about lettering, so I don't even talk about it anymore
(18:20):
unless someone asks.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
It's so bizarre because I can still picture the football
jocks on my school bus wearing letter jackets and they
were very proud. But this was, I mean, a couple
of generations ago.
Speaker 4 (18:31):
And I graduated in nine and people wore a letter jacket.
They did then, yes, okay, but not anymore.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
What about class rings? Nope, that's not I.
Speaker 4 (18:39):
Feel like class rings are even more dated.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
Than interesting letter jacket.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
We didn't have No one wore a class ring. When
I was in school.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
I had a class ring and it was I was
so proud of it. I couldn't wait for it to
come and I still have my class ring. I think
I probably wore it for five years after high school.
Speaker 4 (18:57):
Oh wow.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
I was just very proud of it.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
I didn't have a jacket, but because I was quirky
and different, I bought myself a sweater and had a
letter sweater so I could be like Danny Zuko from Grease.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Oh my god end and my gain.
Speaker 4 (19:12):
I wore it like once.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
This just happened to me, and I feel pretty sad
about it. I'd like your advice or thoughts. Today, I
had a sandwich in the office fridge that I plated
and left on the counter because other people were using
the microwaves. I stepped away, came back a few minutes later,
seeing a coworker take half for herself. I felt so
awkward I turned around left the break room. She didn't
(19:34):
realize it was mine since I didn't have my initials
on the sandwich bag. But what the hell? How do
you not make this awkward? Is it my fault I
didn't label the sandwich. Usually in my office, when something
is free for all to consume, there's a note that says,
please help yourself. I'm sad because I didn't say anything,
and office confrontations are so uncomfortable. I don't think I'm
going to mention anything to this sandwich burglar, But what
(19:56):
if it happens again? Advice please, and thank you. Let's
go to handelist. Jenny Luttenberger.
Speaker 4 (20:02):
I don't know why you.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Don't say something. I would say something immediately. I know
not everyone's confrontational, but that's your food. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (20:10):
I don't that's mine.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
I would go up and be like, hey, you probably
didn't realize this, but.
Speaker 4 (20:15):
That was mine.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Like one time Dave came in I'll never forget. He
comes into the studio after getting his snatch from the
kitchen and he's got this whole container at blueberries and
I look at him and I go, are those my blueberries?
Speaker 4 (20:26):
He goes, you know what they might be? I thought
I brought.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
Blueberries in today, but I don't think I did. And so,
and on top of it, instead of just going and
putting it back, he puts a bunch on his plate.
Speaker 4 (20:37):
And then puts on back.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
You bet I did.
Speaker 4 (20:42):
So I called Dave out in that moment.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
But I would, Yeah, I would have to say something,
but like in a way of like you probably didn't
realize that was my sandwich, you know, like in a
nice way, but.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
Like how would you not realize that that's that's such
like a weird thing, Like, oh, here's one singular sandwich sitting.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
Out, I'm gonna take half of it. Yeah, it's not
like there was a platter sitting out.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
I would definitely my reaction would be like, oh, well,
that's not mine, that is somebody's. If there was a platter.
Speaker 4 (21:08):
Then then it's like, Okay, the heck.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Can I tell you what I'm nervous about confronting somebody about,
and I know it's gonna happen. I like to cross
country ski and the trails, a lot of them are open,
and I've been trying to get it into people's heads.
Don't walk on cross country ski trails. And I see
it all the time and it's just somebody, you know,
usually out with their dog and they're walking along in
the groom cross country ski trail. I've never said anything
(21:32):
to anybody because I'm trying to picture how that would
look and how to address it the best way. Hey,
you know what. I know you don't know this, and
I'm not trying to be a jerk, but but please
don't walk on these trails. They're groomed for cross country
skiing and when you walk on them, it kind of
ruins the grooming. Can you see how they're groomed. Yeah,
but I'm worried the reaction will be like, yeah, fuck
you you fuck whoa. I mean, That's what I'm worried.
(21:55):
But I don't because I think that people who and
a lot they're marked at the trail head, but they're
not marked all over the trail.
Speaker 4 (22:02):
Right exactly because that would be annoying too, and a.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Lot of people don't know. But you're not supposed to
walk in them. So I know that I'm going to
confront somebody and I'm a pussy just like everybody else,
and I don't want to say anything. But at the
same time, it's like, I feel like I need to
edumicate you and let me know, don't walk on these trails.
Speaker 4 (22:19):
No, I agree.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
I think everyone needs to be educated as adults, because
once you hit a certain age, no one scolds you
for anything anymore, and we should be scolded more for
doing the wrong thing.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Okay, I joke about walking on those trails. I don't
ever do that. However, I didn't know that that was
a thing.
Speaker 4 (22:36):
I truly didn't.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
And I went to Fort Snelling once in the winter
and I was walking on these trails and I was like,
these are weird trails. And then later I realized because
they were the cross country trails. But not a soul
was around yeah to tell me anything. And I swear
there weren't signs anywhere besides probably at the beginning of
the trail which I totally missed.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
Now, I would be fine if they were like, oh,
I'm sorry, I didn't know, Thanks for letting me know.
But I worry that's not going to be the reaction
that I gets. That is going to turn into something
that makes me feel bad and angry the rest of
the day. Don't tell me what to fucking do. Don't
judge me.
Speaker 4 (23:07):
Maybe if you say it is don't judge me. Hey,
those are for cross country. You don't want to walk
on those.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
Instead of don't do it, it's you turn it to
be positive and say like, hey, make sure you're you're.
Speaker 4 (23:18):
Walking over here because those are for cross country.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
Like ha, and you and I and you listening, and
Jenny would all go, oh shoot, I didn't know. Okay,
but you know how people are. Oh fucking judge me,
tell me what to fucking do, And then I would
feel angry and the rest of the day would be
like I should have said, I should have said.
Speaker 4 (23:37):
Fuck dumb as well, double dumbass on.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
You all right? Send your emails in for the next
Minnesota Goodbye to Ryan's show at KDWB dot com.
All right, let's dive into today's Minnesota Goodbye. This says
from Sid, who was a big contributor to the show.
We love the regulars, we love newbies, so thank you Sid.
Random questions, here we go, Jenny, can you clarify what's
happening regarding Tina used to work here? Her regular Instagram
posts about her wedding and in her wedding dress with
(00:21):
her husband, but on I'm still fun you and fall
and talk about how you're still preparing to attend Tina's wedding.
I'm confused and appreciate your clarification. Not that I have
to know, but as a fan, I am curious.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Tina got legally married back in September. I think it
was at the courthouse, but their actual wedding that they're
having to celebrate is going to be at a tropical
destination in at the end of January, so that is
the wedding that we're talking about, which I honestly didn't
know if she was doing the courthouse wedding so early.
But yeah, she is legally married already, but her actual
(00:53):
wedding wedding with friends and family is happening.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Any idea why she got married so subtly early.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
No, I think they just had to get in to
get it done, and so I'm sure timing just worked
out the best time to do it at the time
they did, okay, because they still celebrated and did like
something with their very close family for that, so it
still was like a coordination where they did like a
dinner and stuff like that, because she still got dressed
up in a wedding and dress and stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Far Okay, Bailey, did you figure out if you could
strategically place ads in the podcast? I agree they're annoying
excessively long for a less than twenty minute podcast, But
the bigger complaint is the sound levels. I have that
knob turned up to hear the Minnesota Goodbye, then bam,
somebody is saying athlete wrong and screaming and waking the dead.
I fully acknowledge the benefits of ads, and I'm way
(01:42):
too cheap to ever pay for a service without ads,
but the sound levels could be improved. Also, just a
feedback note, while Nita's rant on Wednesday was barely audible,
maybe just an issue for me, No, that was my
fault because since people have brought that up, I have
gone back and boosted her level, and I simply forgot. Okay,
so that was my bad.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
Yeah, the ads have I figured it out for so
the Minnesota goodbye, and then like our Christmas wish, when
I like upload that, I know exactly where I can
place the ad and so I can play it, hear it,
pick the best spot for the ad, throw it in volume.
I have absolutely no control over any volume whatsoever.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Can you adjust the volume? Oh no, that's what the commercial?
Never mind never mind?
Speaker 4 (02:24):
Yeah, because the commercial, I have no idea.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
I don't even I just know that I placed them,
and that's all I know how to do at all.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Number three, Dave, I don't want you to feel left out,
so I'll ask, how dare you? Well? I didn't really
see the consequences of my actions before I took the.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
Leap, before you dared, I didn't.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Have any idea that there would be a number one
of fire, number two slingshot injuries, and a number three bankruptcy.
I really had no idea.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
But if you don't dare to dream, how can you
ever achieve your goals? Truly?
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Yes, it's true. Love staff writer Sidney, Thank you, Sydney.
Always a fun one here is one from Nate. My
name is Nathan, but I'm also referred to as my
buddy Nate by Dave on the radio, and I'm brought
up for my daily wordal connections in strand score sharing.
But I am also a teacher and Apple genius. Now,
Nate does present a problem that I pre read, and
(03:17):
I'm not going to go through it because Nate, I'm
going to be really frank with you. It doesn't translate
as well on the radio. It'd be kind of more
fun to do in person. But I'll read what he describes.
I'm helping a student with a math problem today. It
reminded me of an old segment Morning Show does math,
so I thought, when I came across the question got
a chuckle out of it, I'd send it your way
to see if you'd be able to get it. Here
it is jan Nita's boss told her that once she
(03:38):
has worked with the company for ten years, her salary
will be increased to three times what she makes now
plus two thousand dollars if s represents her original salary,
which expression represents what her salary will be after ten
years at the company. Now I can try this and
see what happens one thirds plus two thousand, start fraction
(04:01):
three over and see, Nate, I'm sorry, it just doesn't
translate because unless you're listening with a pencil and paper,
I don't know, but you would you, Jenny, you're pretty
good at mass.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
Would you get over there?
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Would you be able to write out a fraction that
represents what her salary will be? If S represents her
original salary, so.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
After ten years, she'll make three times her original salary
plus two thousand, So.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
That would the answer number? See that, Nate gets it,
and you've got it exactly correct. Yes, so three S
plus two thousand?
Speaker 4 (04:35):
Wow?
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Yeah, yeah, so instead of a multiple choice, I think
it'd be just easier. And that's what I would have
come up to with two three S three salary plus
two thousand, right, yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
I mean I wasn't sure if it was more complicated
than that, so that's why I was like, I don't know, but.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Well I think that. Yeah, So Nate, thank you for
that one. In case you weren't sure. The answer is ce.
But what kind of place is one need to work?
And act? She gets at three hundred percent rate in
ten years, that's an average of thirty percent raise each
year in this economy, if she started making fifty thousand
a year and ten years she'd be making one hundred
and fifty thousand, and she gets a two thousand dollars bonus.
(05:11):
Like a lot of teachers' unions were in the middle
of negotiating contracts, we came to the bargaining table with
a proposal like this, we'd be laughed out of the building.
I know it's all made up, but giving kids this
kind of problem that's supposed to be representative of a
real life situation should be at the very least plausible.
As Juanita herself would say, that shit pisses me the
fuck off. Anyway, that's my rant for the day. I
hope you have a great day. Thank you for making
(05:33):
each day brighter with your witty, banter and relatable stories.
Love y'all From Nate Thanking Nate. I, yeah, it's kind
of funny. I'm gonna tell you a quick salary story.
You want to hear it? Yeah, true story, And I
might have told this before, but it's just kind of
the shit that managers do. So there was a guy
(05:55):
that I worked with and I'm not gonna say where
because I don't want to incriminate anybody. But this guy
was a great guy. He had worked here successfully for
a few years, and he went in to ask for
a raise. So they go, okay, well, here's what we
can give you. And now let's throats and numbers. Just
to make it fun. Let's say he was making fifty
thousand dollars a year. And let's say he goes in
and he says, you know what, I want to sign
(06:15):
a new contract. Can I make seventy five thousand dollars
a year? The boss says, no, I don't have that
kind of money. And the guy says, well, you can't
pay me seventy five I've worked here for you know,
three years. I've done a great job. Can you give
me seventy five thousand dollars a year. He's like, I
don't have it. Let me prove it to you. So
he calls the bookkeeping department and he says, hey, hey,
(06:39):
it's the boss. I'm just curious how much do we
have to pay this guy? And she didn't know that
the guy was there in the room. Okay, and she says, oh, well,
fifty five thousand. He's like, okay, thank you. So he
hangs up and he says, see, that's all we've got
is fifty five thousand. So the guy accepted fifty five thousand.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
A few weeks later, at the station party, the bookkeeper
comes over to this guy and says, that was a setup.
He told me he was going to call, and he
told me to lie and say that fifty five thousand
was all we could afford to pay.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
You.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
What a shitty, fucking shit thing to do, because that
makes the employee feel that they don't have any negotiating power,
you know what I mean. And the guy definitely did
have negotiating power. And I'll give you one more story.
When Lena worked here, Lena started off making little money,
like and this was years ago, so thirty thousand dollars
(07:34):
went probably a lot farther than it goes now. So
let's say Lena made thirty thousand, and Lena was a
big hit on the show. Everybody loved Lena. Lena was
a delight, and she's like, I've proven myself. I want
a more livable wage. And so she went in and
asked for a very reasonable figure and they said no
(07:57):
because they knew that if she was either going to
take it or leave it. So let's say they offered
her thirty eight thousand. She really deserved a lot more
than thirty eight thousand, but she went ahead and took
thirty eight thousand because they said no. And it was
like you motherfuckers, you cheap motherfuckers, and that I wouldn't
(08:19):
say that's the reason she left, but it certainly didn't help.
So people can be really shitty.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
Yeah, well this is helpful.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
And you got to negotiate from a position of strength,
and that is like I mean, sometimes you have strength,
and sometimes you have more power than you think. Yeah,
and I'm going to tell you this. The last thing
they want to do is they don't want to have
you leave because if you leave, they've got to find
somebody who is even close to as good as you
and they and cheaper, and they don't want to do
(08:50):
that job search. They don't want to do that employee search.
So if you are working at like, I don't know, Cargill,
and you're making fifty four thousand dollars a year and
you're like, I want to make you know, seventy two
thousand dollars a year, you have more power than you think.
Because they don't want to do a candidate search and
start all over again.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
Yeah, that work.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
I don't know how it works. Over to Cargill. Maybe
they have a bunch of people that they can move
up right away. But you have more power than you think.
And the other thing, the only thing I know about
negotiating is never throw out the first number. So let's
say you and I. Let's say I'm going to sell
you a motorcycle. Okay, what are you gonna pay me
for the motorcycle?
Speaker 4 (09:28):
Five thousand dollars? Baily? Oh, two thousand dollars, one hundred dollars.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
No, let her do this.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
I don't know how it works.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Just throw out a number.
Speaker 4 (09:36):
One hundred dollars.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
One hundred dollars. Yeah, oh god, not even close.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
Try it again, two hundred dollars.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Let's throw out a realistic number.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
It's about thousand, five hundred dollars.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Now, let's say I want to sell that motorcycle for
one thousand dollars. Okay, you threw out the first number.
Speaker 4 (09:57):
Of one five hundred dollars.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
My reaction would be to go, yes, I'll take it right.
But the better reaction would be like, oh man, oh,
now you think you've underbid and now you might go
seventeen hundred, or you might go I paid fifteen hundred
and I got a great deal. He didn't want to
take it, but he took it. So in other words,
(10:22):
you throw out a number, and no matter what number
you say, I say, oh, oh, oh man.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Let's say you're looking for a job. Okay, ask me
how much it pays.
Speaker 4 (10:32):
I am looking for a job. How much does it pay?
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Thirty four thousand dollars?
Speaker 4 (10:35):
Sounds great?
Speaker 1 (10:36):
No no no no no no no no no no
no sorry. I try it again.
Speaker 4 (10:39):
Okay, Hi, I'm looking for a job. How much does
it pay?
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Pays thirty four thousand dollars?
Speaker 4 (10:43):
Ooh yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Now instantly in my head I'm thinking I lowball this woman.
She knows I'm lowballing her. I'm not going to get
away with it. So I might say take it or
leave it. Or you might now say I was hoping
for more like forty six.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
I was hoping for more like forty six.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
And now it's my turn to go, oh, this is exhaustile.
I hate that, but it's it's important to have an inkling.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
On how in my brain I know I'm probably just
gonna take it anyway kind of thing. You know, you're
like me where you're like's, yeah, what did.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
You want to add, Jenny, I don't have much to add.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
I think you nailed it. I think you got it
all correct. I think most companies, though, you cannot negotiate
a wage right now, so I would say that that
is not plausible in most industries. Most industries are laying
people off and they will find employees who will work
for less because everyone needs a job.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
So yeah, okay, but don't forget they need good people.
They don't need just people who will fit fit in
their seat.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Do that. Maybe they don't care that much about that then,
because I know companies that don't give people good people raises,
and well.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
I think a lot of companies are struggling. Like I'll
be honest with you, the radio business is not struggling.
But it's also not a fool fourishing, you could say,
because we have so much competition now and radio is
still doing really well. It's something like more people listen
to the radio every week than go on social media
all platforms combined. That's a fact. More people listen to radio,
(12:16):
either on the iHeart app or on the radio, then
then go on all social media combined. And I find
that hard to believe, but that's what they say is true,
all right, next one, here we go. Listen to Minnesota,
Goodbye Tuesday. Heard Joe from California coming to Albert Lee.
I live in Spamtown, USA, ak Austin. Reaching out to
give them a few more suggestions, and here we go.
(12:37):
Maybe head up east and hit up Lanesborough for some
bike riding or tubing down the Root River. While you're there,
you can check out towns like Harmony and they're Amish shops.
They even offer Amish tours in the summer, probably in
a buggy. If you continue to go east, you'll hit
towns like Lacrosse, hiking, restaurant, shopping, views of the bluffs
and the Mississippi. There's even a paddle boat on the Mississippi
(12:58):
called the Lacrosse Queen that takes you on a short
cruise up and down the river. Along the way, you'll
find dive bars with cheese courage, Bloody Mary's and beer
chasers and some of the best burgers you'll ever have.
Thanks for being in my year every day while I
walk my two goldens, lou and URSA picture attached and
there they are. They've been swimming. That's adorable. Now off
(13:20):
the couch rot as I finished up the week before
Christmas is a third grade teacher who's been overstimulated since
Monday morning at nine. Shout out to my college drew
me Anna from Savage, who will hear this in seven
to ten business days when she finally gets caught up
on the podcast. Merry Christmas to all Olivia, Thanks Olivia,
Thank you. Olivia and Joe. If you're listening, send me
(13:40):
an email. I can't find your email address, but send
it to me. Send me an email and I will
forward these two you so you'll have them. Next one
we have time.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Oh we've got like a minute and a half.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
You let me find a short one here. I had
to chime in with a strip club story, because what
was our strip club story yesterday?
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Talking about going to strip clubs and and how the
one stripper asked you to tipper because you didn't want
to tipper and.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
She slapped the mind. She said money, motherfucker.
Speaker 4 (14:09):
Yeah, oh yeah, she didn't say please.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Amanda is from Livingston, Montana, and she writes in I
had to chime in with a strip club story. I
live in the Bozeman area, and we used to have
a local strip called called the Buffalo Jump that would
shuttle you in for free on a short bus to
the club and back. Well, we made a habit out
of throwing house parties and we would always end up
calling the strip club and they'd come by and shuttle
us to the strip club. The first year we managed
(14:33):
to get kicked out, it was a mixture of somebody
persistently trying to order me a bottle of champagne they
didn't have champagne, and some other guests trying to get
on stage. That got us eighty six. It always makes
for a good story when comparing notes of places you've
been kicked out of with friends. Write that down, Jenny,
where have you been kicked out of? That's funny. All
(14:53):
I can say is support your local dive strip club. PS.
Can I have a staff writer sticker? That would be
amazing and I will. I'll send one to you, Amanda.
Here's one from Jacqueline. She came to the Minnesota Goodbye
Live show and I remember her very very clearly. First
of all, I want to say what a great time
I had at the live show. A couple of weeks ago.
(15:14):
Being there was so many people who listened to the show,
and the Minnesota Goodbye felt like being a member of
a cool club with a bunch of inside jokes. Being
in the presence of such positivity had me in a
good mood the rest of the day, and that rarely happens.
I enjoyed meeting all of you, but I'm sorry I
didn't get to speak to each one of you individually.
But Dave, it meant the world to me that you
(15:34):
took five minutes to have a conversation with me. I
was shaking from nerves the whole time. I hope you
didn't notice. I did not notice. You really seem like
he cared about this stranger in front of you, and
as someone who has viewed you as sort of a
father figure, it was kind of a healing experience, if
that makes sense. In case you don't remember me, I
was the girl who told you I was in recovery
from drugs and alcohol, and I truly don't think I
(15:57):
would be sober had I not been such an avid
fan of your show. In my addiction, I lost almost
everyone in my life, the most traumatic loss being the
death of both of my parents before I was twenty three.
I can recall many dark, isolating moments when I didn't
think anybody would even care if I just disappeared. What
really saved me was knowing that I could open the
(16:21):
iHeart app and be in the presence of people I
consider friends. That means so much to me. That is amazing.
I think it's one of the powers of radio. Today.
I am almost three years sober, and I've just completed
all of my coursework and internships to become an addiction counselor.
Even though you weren't aware of it, you all help
me do that. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
(16:43):
I don't want this email to be too long, but
this is probably more of a question for Bailey since
she's around high schoolers more for speech. Since wearing coach
has been a topic of discussion lately, do kids not
wear letter jackets anymore?
Speaker 4 (16:55):
No.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
I graduated high school in two thousand and seven, and
my letter jacket was my pride and joy. I was
a marching band kid. I played the trumpet and I
had bars all down one sleeve, then all down the
back of the sleeve a bunch of medals. I pinned
the letter I for Irondale. I think there are the nights,
aren't they?
Speaker 4 (17:12):
They are there, aren't Like sister school.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
The thing weighed probably twenty pounds, but almost everybody at
my school had one if they lettered in something. I
still have minded this very day in the back of
a closet somewhere. No darting or licking for me as
a chronically single thirty six year old Jacqueline talk about
letter jackets.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
Yeah, the kids don't care about lettering anymore. Not one
kid has a letter jacket. I've not seen one in years,
and I've coached speech for twelve years. When I first
started coaching, kids did care about lettering, so we had like,
here's how you letter in speech xyz.
Speaker 4 (17:47):
Blah blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
And then it got to the point where I would
explain here's how you letter, and I would have kids say,
what is that?
Speaker 4 (17:55):
What does that mean? What is lettering?
Speaker 3 (17:58):
So even though technically I submit every year, like to
the powers that be, here are the kids that lettered
in debate, Here are the kids that lettered in speech.
They get their like actually the big huge letter, which
is an M for Mounts View, and then they have
to like go and pick up the bars from wherever.
But no one wears letter jackets and no one cares
about lettering, so I don't even talk about it anymore
(18:20):
unless someone asks.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
It's so bizarre because I can still picture the football
jocks on my school bus wearing letter jackets and they
were very proud. But this was, I mean, a couple
of generations ago.
Speaker 4 (18:31):
And I graduated in nine and people wore a letter jacket.
They did then, yes, okay, but not anymore.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
What about class rings? Nope, that's not I.
Speaker 4 (18:39):
Feel like class rings are even more dated.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
Than interesting letter jacket.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
We didn't have No one wore a class ring. When
I was in school.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
I had a class ring and it was I was
so proud of it. I couldn't wait for it to
come and I still have my class ring. I think
I probably wore it for five years after high school.
Speaker 4 (18:57):
Oh wow.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
I was just very proud of it.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
I didn't have a jacket, but because I was quirky
and different, I bought myself a sweater and had a
letter sweater so I could be like Danny Zuko from Grease.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Oh my god end and my gain.
Speaker 4 (19:12):
I wore it like once.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
This just happened to me, and I feel pretty sad
about it. I'd like your advice or thoughts. Today, I
had a sandwich in the office fridge that I plated
and left on the counter because other people were using
the microwaves. I stepped away, came back a few minutes later,
seeing a coworker take half for herself. I felt so
awkward I turned around left the break room. She didn't
(19:34):
realize it was mine since I didn't have my initials
on the sandwich bag. But what the hell? How do
you not make this awkward? Is it my fault I
didn't label the sandwich. Usually in my office, when something
is free for all to consume, there's a note that says,
please help yourself. I'm sad because I didn't say anything,
and office confrontations are so uncomfortable. I don't think I'm
going to mention anything to this sandwich burglar, But what
(19:56):
if it happens again? Advice please, and thank you. Let's
go to handelist. Jenny Luttenberger.
Speaker 4 (20:02):
I don't know why you.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Don't say something. I would say something immediately. I know
not everyone's confrontational, but that's your food. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (20:10):
I don't that's mine.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
I would go up and be like, hey, you probably
didn't realize this, but.
Speaker 4 (20:15):
That was mine.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Like one time Dave came in I'll never forget. He
comes into the studio after getting his snatch from the
kitchen and he's got this whole container at blueberries and
I look at him and I go, are those my blueberries?
Speaker 4 (20:26):
He goes, you know what they might be? I thought
I brought.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
Blueberries in today, but I don't think I did. And so,
and on top of it, instead of just going and
putting it back, he puts a bunch on his plate.
Speaker 4 (20:37):
And then puts on back.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
You bet I did.
Speaker 4 (20:42):
So I called Dave out in that moment.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
But I would, Yeah, I would have to say something,
but like in a way of like you probably didn't
realize that was my sandwich, you know, like in a
nice way, but.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
Like how would you not realize that that's that's such
like a weird thing, Like, oh, here's one singular sandwich sitting.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
Out, I'm gonna take half of it. Yeah, it's not
like there was a platter sitting out.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
I would definitely my reaction would be like, oh, well,
that's not mine, that is somebody's. If there was a platter.
Speaker 4 (21:08):
Then then it's like, Okay, the heck.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Can I tell you what I'm nervous about confronting somebody about,
and I know it's gonna happen. I like to cross
country ski and the trails, a lot of them are open,
and I've been trying to get it into people's heads.
Don't walk on cross country ski trails. And I see
it all the time and it's just somebody, you know,
usually out with their dog and they're walking along in
the groom cross country ski trail. I've never said anything
(21:32):
to anybody because I'm trying to picture how that would
look and how to address it the best way. Hey,
you know what. I know you don't know this, and
I'm not trying to be a jerk, but but please
don't walk on these trails. They're groomed for cross country
skiing and when you walk on them, it kind of
ruins the grooming. Can you see how they're groomed. Yeah,
but I'm worried the reaction will be like, yeah, fuck
you you fuck whoa. I mean, That's what I'm worried.
(21:55):
But I don't because I think that people who and
a lot they're marked at the trail head, but they're
not marked all over the trail.
Speaker 4 (22:02):
Right exactly because that would be annoying too, and a.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Lot of people don't know. But you're not supposed to
walk in them. So I know that I'm going to
confront somebody and I'm a pussy just like everybody else,
and I don't want to say anything. But at the
same time, it's like, I feel like I need to
edumicate you and let me know, don't walk on these trails.
Speaker 4 (22:19):
No, I agree.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
I think everyone needs to be educated as adults, because
once you hit a certain age, no one scolds you
for anything anymore, and we should be scolded more for
doing the wrong thing.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Okay, I joke about walking on those trails. I don't
ever do that. However, I didn't know that that was
a thing.
Speaker 4 (22:36):
I truly didn't.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
And I went to Fort Snelling once in the winter
and I was walking on these trails and I was like,
these are weird trails. And then later I realized because
they were the cross country trails. But not a soul
was around yeah to tell me anything. And I swear
there weren't signs anywhere besides probably at the beginning of
the trail which I totally missed.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
Now, I would be fine if they were like, oh,
I'm sorry, I didn't know, Thanks for letting me know.
But I worry that's not going to be the reaction
that I gets. That is going to turn into something
that makes me feel bad and angry the rest of
the day. Don't tell me what to fucking do. Don't
judge me.
Speaker 4 (23:07):
Maybe if you say it is don't judge me. Hey,
those are for cross country. You don't want to walk
on those.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
Instead of don't do it, it's you turn it to
be positive and say like, hey, make sure you're you're.
Speaker 4 (23:18):
Walking over here because those are for cross country.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
Like ha, and you and I and you listening, and
Jenny would all go, oh shoot, I didn't know. Okay,
but you know how people are. Oh fucking judge me,
tell me what to fucking do, And then I would
feel angry and the rest of the day would be
like I should have said, I should have said.
Speaker 4 (23:37):
Fuck dumb as well, double dumbass on.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
You all right? Send your emails in for the next

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
