Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here we go with a Minnesota goodbye. Let's start off
with a rant from our friend Juanita. You guys, ready, yeah, right,
let me find her and I get to puh a
couple of buttons. I should push these buttons in advance,
because every week when I play her rent, I always say,
let me go push some buttons. But I think we're ready,
And here we go with Juanita chicken. Wait, hold on, wait,
(00:21):
got to back it up, back it up. Here we go.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Hey, hey, y'all, So this week's rent is about chickens.
So since when has chickens become the Beyonce Barnyard. I mean,
back in the day, I did not pay the same
price for a pack of chicken wings that I did
for a fucking chicken breast.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
I mean, this is getting ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
It's like suddenly a six piece nugget is worth more
than a bitcoin. But the other issue that I'm having
with chickens is where the hell are we getting all
these fucking chickens from. So I looked it up and
they said that during the Super Bowl last year, America's
consumed over one point four to seven billion chicken wings.
(01:03):
I mean, seriously, and that's just for one day. Where
the fuck are we getting all these chickens? For that
amount of chickens that means that you usually will be
able to open your door and there's just chickens walking
up and down the street.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
What's up?
Speaker 2 (01:15):
What's up with two? It's like, damn, where the hell
are we getting all these fucking chickens? Well, that's my
rant for this week.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
I love you guys, by I have wondered the same thing,
because there are think about it. There is chick fil A.
They're selling canes, KFC chicken, Caesar salad, Buffalo Wild Wings,
chicken is everywhere you go into cub, you go into
Buyerley's Rotisserie, chickens are stacked up by the registers. Yeah,
there are is. And it's like, these chickens are coming
(01:44):
from somewhere, and I think, where do they? I mean,
obviously they're being raised somewhere, probably some little town like
I don't know, Wilma or man Cato or something like that. Yeah,
and then you think about the byproduct of a dead chicken, feathers, feathers, guts, legs, beaks,
and heads. Where does all this go? It's the same
with cows.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Well, feathers. Can't you use those for pillows?
Speaker 1 (02:06):
No, that's gooseh chicken feathers. Let me tell you, grown
up on chicken farm, they are not soft feathers. I
guess in a real pinch they would work. But yeah,
I think that people don't realize that the food supply
chain is massively demanding and chicken's gotta eat and drink
water too.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (02:22):
Well, I mean I can understand the reason there's so
many chickens because that's like a universal.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Meat that everybody likes.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Everybody loves it.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Yeah, everyone likes chicken. Huh, I love chicken.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Well, there's so many though, So I thought Juanita. I
think Juanita and I, in another lifetime we would be
happily married until one day she got tired of me
and woke up and killed me with a skillet. It
was a skillet, I.
Speaker 5 (02:47):
Mean, just like one whack across the head. You think
she Wania seems like a strong woman. She could do
one song whack by Dave.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
The brand of the skillet is engraved on your face.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Yeah, all right, I love this email. I preread it.
It's so interesting and I just love it. Don't say
my name close friends know this story, and I truly
hold no shame, But you never know how listeners might
feel about this one. It's an embarrassing coming of age story.
At what point does this story become funny not traumatic?
(03:22):
It is said that tragedy becomes comedy with the application
of time. I experienced that firsthand. I'm going through puberty,
so you got to figure twelve or thirteen. I'm full
of the brooding frustration that came with the rejection of boys.
I was a plain girl and I discovered Google Images.
Not only did I discover Google Images, I discovered what
porn was at the age of twelve. Only I thought
(03:45):
it was spelled po rm, like mechanic porm. So with
this horrible new information, I ran home from school and
quickly googled porm. Google said, did you mean porn? Well, well, sure, sure,
I suppose I did mean that carefully on my own
account that the family shared the computer, I with a
safe search that I didn't know how was applied. I
(04:06):
saw all sorts of adults in various levels of undress, kissing,
embracing in other ways I had no business of viewing.
I googled everything boys kissing, girls kissing, any juvenile thing
I could think of. Carefully and with a judgmental eye
of a shrewd expert, I slowly put together a wonderful
collage on Microsoft words of the images I thought were
(04:28):
most compelling. I then admired my artful collage and printed
it off on the home computer using family toner. I
quickly hit it away in my room and told no
one of my lacivious creation. Then my mother found my
art while I was away at summer camp. Subsequently, I
dealt with the horrible humiliation of my mother finding my collage.
(04:50):
It wrecked me at the time, but now, looking back,
I think the entire story is hilariously funny. I realized
that every one of us has our own story of discovery,
and the early teen years are truly a whirlwind experience
for all of us. Anyway, hopefully it makes you laugh
and look back with some forgiveness on our past selves,
take care and lots of love. And she signs her
(05:10):
initial J. I think that's adorable. I think that the
first time that we discover porn is kind of shocking.
Playboy was like the go to when I was a
kid and my friend's dad had old Playboy magazines and
we would look them up and it was like wow.
(05:32):
I mean we were like fourth or fifth grade and
we didn't get aroused. I don't think more just like cure,
there's a naked woman, there's your boobies.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
Whoa.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Yeah, So anybody have a similar story to share. If not,
that's okay.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
I mean, I think it's hilarious that she made a
collage because I used to do that all the time
with like you know, the Harry Potter actors and whatever.
But I don't think I ever like discovered porn.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
I read the book Catcher.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
In the Rock and it explained like in detail masturbation.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
That was the first time I ever heard of that.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Oh really, I read that in seventh grade. I don't
remember that part.
Speaker 6 (06:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
I think it was Catcher and the Rye.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
It was some kind of like you know Indie Emo
book that like everybody said you should read, and I
think I was in ninth grade and I read it
and I was like, tho foo, it was wild.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Okay, interesting, But that was kind of it for me.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
I think that is a very funny story, and it is.
It's like at the time, you can imagine if you're
twelve or thirteen and your mom finds your porn collage,
your collage there on pain Yeah, and then you're mortified.
But looking back, it's totally normal and totally adorable and funny.
Maybe not adorable, but totally understandable. Next one says, listen
(06:45):
to the Thursday's Minnesota Goodbye podcast. You mentioned on a
scale of one to ten how happy you are, and
it got me thinking. I sit at a five most
of the time, neither super happy nor super sad. So
my question is, how do you make yourself feel happier.
I was talking with partner this week about how I
feel stuck in a rut. I work from home most days.
The office is close by, but I choose to stay home,
(07:06):
so it feels like I'm really just moving around my
house to different rooms, or I'm in the car driving
my kid all around the Metro for their sports practices.
I consider myself an introvert, but I'm feeling more and
more cooped up these days. I have a handful of hobbies.
I enjoy them, but a lot of them are hobbies
that don't involve others, like reading, crafting, walking, etc. I
(07:26):
have one close friend outside of my partner and a
few others that go through ebbs and flows of friendship.
What do you suggest to make my life feel not
so monotonous. That's a good story. I'm going to send
that to you, Jenny, because I think that's a good
story for the radio too. Jenny, there we go, So
we'll maybe use that next week. What do you think
what would you give her?
Speaker 4 (07:44):
Oh Man, I feel like if you're looking to meet people,
I always tell others to take a class, take a workshop,
like something that you're interested in learning. How to do
that is something.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Like creative that you have to like enroll.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
In something and start showing up every week to go
and do it, like improv classes or dance classes or
whatever you want to go do. Because I met pretty
much everybody I know through some kind of class or.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
Community event like a play or something.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Okay, now she does say, now it's interesting that you
went to meeting people. She doesn't say she wants to
meet people, although that could add to her happiness. That
adds to your happiness. She wants to be happy, but
she's not sure what will make her happy.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
So star, well, if it's not, If you don't want
a monotonous life, I think that's the learning something. The
learning aspect is what makes my life not monotonous if
I'm constantly learning, So going to classes, yeah I get
to meet people, but I'm also learning something at the
same time, and I think that makes it makes my
life not monotonous.
Speaker 5 (08:46):
I think also Facebook groups are huge right now to
like either make friends like Bailey a suggesting or maybe
just learn things yourself. And I think that that's less
intimidating than what Bailey probably did to go out and
do new things and meet people, because you don't have
to go do anything I'm a part of like a
camper van Facebook group, a hiking Facebook group, like all
(09:08):
these things that are like interests of mine, and I
usually just go to them to learn things or see
what people are posting. But I don't really do a
whole ton, but it helps me with things that are
hobbies to me. So I think Facebook groups can be helpful.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
I would say try something new and maybe that it
does involve a group like I don't know, yoga or
something new, because reading, crafting, walking, that's great. You sound
like a very I don't know, like they're very sedate hobbies. Yeah,
maybe you need something that's a little more active. You
(09:42):
do walk. Yeah, So I would say, maybe try something new,
Maybe try learning an instrument. Maybe go down and buy
a guitar and learn to play guitar. They're not that
hard to learn the basics on a guitar. I did
the ukulele and I love it.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
So or joined like a book club if you like reading,
that's a good idea too. Then you're having conversation about
the book and you're going to a thing. I know,
like the going places isn't for everybody, and like you know,
facebook groups you could join like an.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Online book club. But I always I like going places.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
Because it holds me accountable to actually do the thing,
versus holding myself accountable to do the things like on
my own, Like okay, I have to rely on myself
to do this versus oh well I have it. Six
o'clock on Wednesdays is book club, so I have to show.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
Up, you know.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (10:28):
I would argue though that like if it's intimidating and
you go to the thing a couple times and you
don't like it, don't force yourself. Because there's like something
that I've done recently where I've kind of just started
to bail on it because.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
It was yeah.
Speaker 6 (10:41):
I mean it's the softball league I joined.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Okay, it wasn't your thing.
Speaker 5 (10:44):
Truthfully, I'm still going to show up to the games
that are coming up, but I've bailed on one week
and it's been rained out every other week, and then
this past week I was at that retreat so I
couldn't go. So I've literally only been to the first
games of five weeks of games.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Speaking of rained out, are we doing a lake patrol
this summer? Have we heard anything about lake patrol?
Speaker 6 (11:01):
Have not turned any?
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Okay, because we live in Minnesota. About fifteen years ago,
I came up with the idea, yes, I'll take credit
for it, of lake patrol. We live in the land
of ten thousand lakes. Let's go out on a boat
and give away prizes. Okay, brilliant. We did it every year,
we maybe missed one for years, ten or fifteen years,
and we'd go out on Lake Minatanka or Prior Lake
(11:23):
or whatever, and we had a great time. But we
had heard anything about doing it this summer, so I
hope we do. Last summer. I think every appearance that
I did on Lake Patrol, I had three of them.
It was rained out every time.
Speaker 5 (11:34):
And I say, I don't think you the last like
two summers. I think you and Fallan both like never
had to do your life patrols because of rain. Yeah,
and Bailey and I had ours.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
We had one and it was rained out, like we
drove all the way there and then they were like
it's rained out. They're like, well, I guess we're gonna
just turn around and go back home.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
I know.
Speaker 5 (11:51):
And I can't remember if because usually we do two
a summer, and I can't remember if I got out
for one other one.
Speaker 6 (11:56):
I feel like I did last summer.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Yeah, they were a lot of fun because we get
a boat. We go to lake to talk on the
north side of Big Island. They call it cruisers Cove,
and we would pull up and get a bullhorn, and
and I just tell you a little bit of what
a bitch I am, but also what a perfectionist I am,
because you know it's it's like my idea and I
want to do it the right way. We always needed
a bullhorn. You need a bullhorn when you pull up
(12:19):
so you can go he everybody goes katieb And if
you want some prizes, yell and scream and we'll bring
some prizes over to you, and fifty percent of the
time the interns would either forget the bullhorn or they
wouldn't test it out and the batteries would be dead.
And I would get so frustrated because how do you
let people know you're there on lake patrol without a
(12:41):
bullhorn yelling? Go so and you try to yell, but
people can't really hear you. But if you got the bullhorn, man,
people would come out of the fucking would work to
get a like a key ring that said katiewb on it,
or a can of PEPSI like it was liquid gold.
But if you don't have a bullhorn, it was it
was lame. And I would I would write to the
people in charge, like, can we got to have a
(13:04):
bull horn? Well we had one last week? Yeah, but
the batteries were dead. So it was just me being
a little bit.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
I mean, you got to be heard. People come out
their little boats, did you hear Katie.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
This next one is about Jenny. Jenny, I was listening
to the podcast last night, and your absence on the
show was noticeable, almost as noticeable as when Dave is gone.
To me, that's a huge compliment because it simply doesn't
feel the same without you. Don't get me wrong, the
show is still great. Everybody is wonderful, but the noticeable
lack of your presence shows how far you've come on
this show. Go Jenny. Thanks from one of the many
(13:37):
many Sarah's in their thirties that ride into the Minnesota
Goodbye that is Sarah. Thank you, Sarah, love it well.
Speaker 6 (13:45):
Thank you, Sarah. I appreciate that. I can't. I don't know.
Speaker 5 (13:48):
It's weird to compare my absence to Dave's because I
feel like when Dave's gone its constant, like Wor's Day,
wors Day. There's maybe a text one I'm gone there, he'll.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
Be back tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
I found this next email kind of funny. It is
basically for Bailey. Bailey, guys, aren't everything. Sixty four year
old Irish singer Enya has never been married, never had kids,
and lives in a castle with her nine cats. And
those shows a picture of Anya sixty four years old.
She's beautiful and her house is a castle. It's a
(14:21):
freaking castle, and she has nine cats. Now, you don't
have the money to live in a castle.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
I have any money, I can.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
See you with it with nine cats I could have
nine cats if I had a house that had like
nine rooms, because I could have a cat in every room.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
That'd be really nice.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
But yeah, I don't. I know, guys aren't everything. Sometimes
you just want somebody to squeeze a little bit, that's it.
And I don't have any money. I feel like if
I had any money, i'd be way happier. Obviously, I
have a sun like a sun porch.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
Maybe that's nice. Or yeah, you have little twinkly lights.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
There's an idea you and Jenny should move in together
because Jenny is now she's you know, got some extra
room in the house, so you should move in. Jenny's
got a sun porch.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
I think Jenny and I wouldn't or we would clash
a little bit in terms of living together because Jenny
is a minimalist and I'm a maximalist. Oh, and I
think we would combine.
Speaker 5 (15:09):
I think we probably would because I am also a
clean freak. And I mean when I did have someone
living with me, that person was decently clean, but like
not to the extent that I wanted. And I realized
once I lived alone again that like, I feel a
much more at peace in my house because of the
cleanliness that.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
I keep up with.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Okay, yeah, I get that.
Speaker 4 (15:28):
I wouldn't say I'm unclean. I just sometimes fold my
laundry and let it sit there for like a week.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Okay, yeah, before I don't do that. I don't like
to mess around the house. But when I leave the show,
this big pile of shit over here to my left
will all disappear. There are two deck levels, A deck
and B deck of my shit that is stacked over here,
and once I leave, I think it'll all be thrown away.
Speaker 6 (15:53):
Well, you're not going to take it in a box home.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
I don't want that puppet. I don't want the other puppets.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
Hey that my aunt made.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
That I do, but I don't have a place for
that in my home.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
There's a million places in your home. You have a
big mansion.
Speaker 5 (16:04):
No, no, Well, because he has too much shit already,
he's like working on getting rid of it. That's why
it's like hard to get you presents now for Christmas
or your birthday, because it's always like, I know, he
probably already has everything, and I don't want to give
him more shit.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
Gift card to Culver's always works for me.
Speaker 6 (16:20):
We do, I think we do to gift cars quite often.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
You guys, give me a Father's Day present.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
I just remembered it's in my car. I have to
go get it.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Are you serious to get a Father's Day present for me?
Speaker 3 (16:28):
Yeah, it's in my car.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
You're not joking, are you? Okay? Well let's wait, Well
Bailey go, Should.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
I go get it right now?
Speaker 1 (16:34):
No, I'm kidding. Okay, So we're going to wrap up
the Minnesota goodbye with with that thought, thanks for the emails.
These are a lot of fun. I really enjoyed the
Porm story that made me giggle and smile. You got
any stories that are out of the blue, please send
him to us. Those are our favorite kind. Or respond
to anything that we talked about. And if you want
(16:54):
a staff writer sticker and you've never written before, please
send your email to Ryan Show at KJWB dot com
and if we read it on the air and put
your address in there, name and his dress, and we'll
send you a staff rider sticker.
Here we go with a Minnesota goodbye. Let's start off
with a rant from our friend Juanita. You guys, ready, yeah, right,
let me find her and I get to puh a
couple of buttons. I should push these buttons in advance,
because every week when I play her rent, I always say,
let me go push some buttons. But I think we're ready,
And here we go with Juanita chicken. Wait, hold on, wait,
(00:21):
got to back it up, back it up. Here we go.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Hey, hey, y'all, So this week's rent is about chickens.
So since when has chickens become the Beyonce Barnyard. I mean,

price for a pack of chicken wings that I did
for a fucking chicken breast.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
I mean, this is getting ridiculous.

It's like suddenly a six piece nugget is worth more
than a bitcoin. But the other issue that I'm having

they said that during the Super Bowl last year, America's

the fuck are we getting all these chickens? For that
amount of chickens that means that you usually will be
able to open your door and there's just chickens walking
up and down the street.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
What's up?
Speaker 2 (01:15):
What's up with two? It's like, damn, where the hell
are we getting all these fucking chickens? Well, that's my
rant for this week.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
I love you guys, by I have wondered the same thing,
because there are think about it. There is chick fil A.
They're selling canes, KFC chicken, Caesar salad, Buffalo Wild Wings,
chicken is everywhere you go into cub, you go into
Buyerley's Rotisserie, chickens are stacked up by the registers. Yeah,
there are is. And it's like, these chickens are coming
(01:44):
from somewhere, and I think, where do they? I mean,
obviously they're being raised somewhere, probably some little town like
I don't know, Wilma or man Cato or something like that. Yeah,
and then you think about the byproduct of a dead chicken, feathers, feathers, guts, legs, beaks,
and heads. Where does all this go? It's the same
with cows.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Well, feathers. Can't you use those for pillows?
Speaker 1 (02:06):
No, that's gooseh chicken feathers. Let me tell you, grown
up on chicken farm, they are not soft feathers. I
guess in a real pinch they would work. But yeah,
I think that people don't realize that the food supply
chain is massively demanding and chicken's gotta eat and drink
water too.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (02:22):
Well, I mean I can understand the reason there's so
many chickens because that's like a universal.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Meat that everybody likes.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Everybody loves it.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Yeah, everyone likes chicken. Huh, I love chicken.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Well, there's so many though, So I thought Juanita. I
think Juanita and I, in another lifetime we would be
happily married until one day she got tired of me
and woke up and killed me with a skillet. It
was a skillet, I.
Speaker 5 (02:47):
Mean, just like one whack across the head. You think
she Wania seems like a strong woman. She could do
one song whack by Dave.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
The brand of the skillet is engraved on your face.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Yeah, all right, I love this email. I preread it.
It's so interesting and I just love it. Don't say
my name close friends know this story, and I truly
hold no shame, But you never know how listeners might
feel about this one. It's an embarrassing coming of age story.
At what point does this story become funny not traumatic?
(03:22):
It is said that tragedy becomes comedy with the application
of time. I experienced that firsthand. I'm going through puberty,
so you got to figure twelve or thirteen. I'm full
of the brooding frustration that came with the rejection of boys.
I was a plain girl and I discovered Google Images.
Not only did I discover Google Images, I discovered what

this horrible new information, I ran home from school and
quickly googled porm. Google said, did you mean porn? Well, well, sure, sure,
I suppose I did mean that carefully on my own
account that the family shared the computer, I with a
safe search that I didn't know how was applied. I
(04:06):
saw all sorts of adults in various levels of undress, kissing,
embracing in other ways I had no business of viewing.
I googled everything boys kissing, girls kissing, any juvenile thing
I could think of. Carefully and with a judgmental eye
of a shrewd expert, I slowly put together a wonderful
collage on Microsoft words of the images I thought were
(04:28):
most compelling. I then admired my artful collage and printed
it off on the home computer using family toner. I
quickly hit it away in my room and told no
one of my lacivious creation. Then my mother found my

initial J. I think that's adorable. I think that the
first time that we discover porn is kind of shocking.
Playboy was like the go to when I was a
kid and my friend's dad had old Playboy magazines and
we would look them up and it was like wow.
(05:32):
I mean we were like fourth or fifth grade and
we didn't get aroused. I don't think more just like cure,
there's a naked woman, there's your boobies.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
Whoa.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Yeah, So anybody have a similar story to share. If not,
that's okay.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
I mean, I think it's hilarious that she made a
collage because I used to do that all the time
with like you know, the Harry Potter actors and whatever.
But I don't think I ever like discovered porn.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
I read the book Catcher.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
In the Rock and it explained like in detail masturbation.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
That was the first time I ever heard of that.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Oh really, I read that in seventh grade. I don't
remember that part.
Speaker 6 (06:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
I think it was Catcher and the Rye.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
It was some kind of like you know Indie Emo
book that like everybody said you should read, and I
think I was in ninth grade and I read it
and I was like, tho foo, it was wild.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Okay, interesting, But that was kind of it for me.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
I think that is a very funny story, and it is.
It's like at the time, you can imagine if you're
twelve or thirteen and your mom finds your porn collage,
your collage there on pain Yeah, and then you're mortified.
But looking back, it's totally normal and totally adorable and funny.
Maybe not adorable, but totally understandable. Next one says, listen
(06:45):
to the Thursday's Minnesota Goodbye podcast. You mentioned on a
scale of one to ten how happy you are, and
it got me thinking. I sit at a five most
of the time, neither super happy nor super sad. So
my question is, how do you make yourself feel happier.
I was talking with partner this week about how I
feel stuck in a rut. I work from home most days.
The office is close by, but I choose to stay home,
(07:06):
so it feels like I'm really just moving around my
house to different rooms, or I'm in the car driving
my kid all around the Metro for their sports practices.
I consider myself an introvert, but I'm feeling more and
more cooped up these days. I have a handful of hobbies.
I enjoy them, but a lot of them are hobbies
that don't involve others, like reading, crafting, walking, etc. I
(07:26):
have one close friend outside of my partner and a
few others that go through ebbs and flows of friendship.
What do you suggest to make my life feel not
so monotonous. That's a good story. I'm going to send
that to you, Jenny, because I think that's a good
story for the radio too. Jenny, there we go, So
we'll maybe use that next week. What do you think
what would you give her?
Speaker 4 (07:44):
Oh Man, I feel like if you're looking to meet people,
I always tell others to take a class, take a workshop,
like something that you're interested in learning. How to do
that is something.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Like creative that you have to like enroll.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
In something and start showing up every week to go
and do it, like improv classes or dance classes or
whatever you want to go do. Because I met pretty
much everybody I know through some kind of class or.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
Community event like a play or something.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Okay, now she does say, now it's interesting that you
went to meeting people. She doesn't say she wants to
meet people, although that could add to her happiness. That
adds to your happiness. She wants to be happy, but
she's not sure what will make her happy.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
So star, well, if it's not, If you don't want
a monotonous life, I think that's the learning something. The
learning aspect is what makes my life not monotonous if
I'm constantly learning, So going to classes, yeah I get
to meet people, but I'm also learning something at the
same time, and I think that makes it makes my
life not monotonous.
Speaker 5 (08:46):
I think also Facebook groups are huge right now to
like either make friends like Bailey a suggesting or maybe
just learn things yourself. And I think that that's less
intimidating than what Bailey probably did to go out and
do new things and meet people, because you don't have
to go do anything I'm a part of like a
camper van Facebook group, a hiking Facebook group, like all
(09:08):
these things that are like interests of mine, and I
usually just go to them to learn things or see
what people are posting. But I don't really do a
whole ton, but it helps me with things that are
hobbies to me. So I think Facebook groups can be helpful.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
I would say try something new and maybe that it
does involve a group like I don't know, yoga or
something new, because reading, crafting, walking, that's great. You sound
like a very I don't know, like they're very sedate hobbies. Yeah,
maybe you need something that's a little more active. You
(09:42):
do walk. Yeah, So I would say, maybe try something new,
Maybe try learning an instrument. Maybe go down and buy
a guitar and learn to play guitar. They're not that
hard to learn the basics on a guitar. I did
the ukulele and I love it.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
So or joined like a book club if you like reading,
that's a good idea too. Then you're having conversation about
the book and you're going to a thing. I know,
like the going places isn't for everybody, and like you know,
facebook groups you could join like an.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Online book club. But I always I like going places.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
Because it holds me accountable to actually do the thing,
versus holding myself accountable to do the things like on
my own, Like okay, I have to rely on myself
to do this versus oh well I have it. Six
o'clock on Wednesdays is book club, so I have to show.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
Up, you know.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (10:28):
I would argue though that like if it's intimidating and
you go to the thing a couple times and you
don't like it, don't force yourself. Because there's like something
that I've done recently where I've kind of just started
to bail on it because.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
It was yeah.
Speaker 6 (10:41):
I mean it's the softball league I joined.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Okay, it wasn't your thing.
Speaker 5 (10:44):
Truthfully, I'm still going to show up to the games
that are coming up, but I've bailed on one week
and it's been rained out every other week, and then
this past week I was at that retreat so I
couldn't go. So I've literally only been to the first
games of five weeks of games.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Speaking of rained out, are we doing a lake patrol
this summer? Have we heard anything about lake patrol?
Speaker 6 (11:01):
Have not turned any?
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Okay, because we live in Minnesota. About fifteen years ago,
I came up with the idea, yes, I'll take credit
for it, of lake patrol. We live in the land
of ten thousand lakes. Let's go out on a boat
and give away prizes. Okay, brilliant. We did it every year,
we maybe missed one for years, ten or fifteen years,
and we'd go out on Lake Minatanka or Prior Lake
(11:23):
or whatever, and we had a great time. But we
had heard anything about doing it this summer, so I
hope we do. Last summer. I think every appearance that
I did on Lake Patrol, I had three of them.
It was rained out every time.
Speaker 5 (11:34):
And I say, I don't think you the last like
two summers. I think you and Fallan both like never
had to do your life patrols because of rain. Yeah,
and Bailey and I had ours.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
We had one and it was rained out, like we
drove all the way there and then they were like
it's rained out. They're like, well, I guess we're gonna
just turn around and go back home.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
I know.
Speaker 5 (11:51):
And I can't remember if because usually we do two
a summer, and I can't remember if I got out
for one other one.
Speaker 6 (11:56):
I feel like I did last summer.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Yeah, they were a lot of fun because we get
a boat. We go to lake to talk on the
north side of Big Island. They call it cruisers Cove,
and we would pull up and get a bullhorn, and
and I just tell you a little bit of what
a bitch I am, but also what a perfectionist I am,
because you know it's it's like my idea and I
want to do it the right way. We always needed
a bullhorn. You need a bullhorn when you pull up
(12:19):
so you can go he everybody goes katieb And if
you want some prizes, yell and scream and we'll bring
some prizes over to you, and fifty percent of the
time the interns would either forget the bullhorn or they
wouldn't test it out and the batteries would be dead.
And I would get so frustrated because how do you
let people know you're there on lake patrol without a
(12:41):
bullhorn yelling? Go so and you try to yell, but
people can't really hear you. But if you got the bullhorn, man,
people would come out of the fucking would work to
get a like a key ring that said katiewb on it,
or a can of PEPSI like it was liquid gold.
But if you don't have a bullhorn, it was it
was lame. And I would I would write to the
people in charge, like, can we got to have a
(13:04):
bull horn? Well we had one last week? Yeah, but
the batteries were dead. So it was just me being
a little bit.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
I mean, you got to be heard. People come out
their little boats, did you hear Katie.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
This next one is about Jenny. Jenny, I was listening
to the podcast last night, and your absence on the
show was noticeable, almost as noticeable as when Dave is gone.
To me, that's a huge compliment because it simply doesn't
feel the same without you. Don't get me wrong, the
show is still great. Everybody is wonderful, but the noticeable
lack of your presence shows how far you've come on
this show. Go Jenny. Thanks from one of the many
(13:37):
many Sarah's in their thirties that ride into the Minnesota
Goodbye that is Sarah. Thank you, Sarah, love it well.
Speaker 6 (13:45):
Thank you, Sarah. I appreciate that. I can't. I don't know.
Speaker 5 (13:48):
It's weird to compare my absence to Dave's because I
feel like when Dave's gone its constant, like Wor's Day,
wors Day. There's maybe a text one I'm gone there, he'll.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
Be back tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
I found this next email kind of funny. It is
basically for Bailey. Bailey, guys, aren't everything. Sixty four year
old Irish singer Enya has never been married, never had kids,
and lives in a castle with her nine cats. And
those shows a picture of Anya sixty four years old.
She's beautiful and her house is a castle. It's a
(14:21):
freaking castle, and she has nine cats. Now, you don't
have the money to live in a castle.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
I have any money, I can.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
See you with it with nine cats I could have
nine cats if I had a house that had like
nine rooms, because I could have a cat in every room.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
That'd be really nice.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
But yeah, I don't. I know, guys aren't everything. Sometimes
you just want somebody to squeeze a little bit, that's it.
And I don't have any money. I feel like if
I had any money, i'd be way happier. Obviously, I
have a sun like a sun porch.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
Maybe that's nice. Or yeah, you have little twinkly lights.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
There's an idea you and Jenny should move in together
because Jenny is now she's you know, got some extra
room in the house, so you should move in. Jenny's
got a sun porch.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
I think Jenny and I wouldn't or we would clash
a little bit in terms of living together because Jenny
is a minimalist and I'm a maximalist. Oh, and I
think we would combine.
Speaker 5 (15:09):
I think we probably would because I am also a
clean freak. And I mean when I did have someone
living with me, that person was decently clean, but like
not to the extent that I wanted. And I realized
once I lived alone again that like, I feel a
much more at peace in my house because of the
cleanliness that.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
I keep up with.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Okay, yeah, I get that.
Speaker 4 (15:28):
I wouldn't say I'm unclean. I just sometimes fold my
laundry and let it sit there for like a week.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Okay, yeah, before I don't do that. I don't like
to mess around the house. But when I leave the show,
this big pile of shit over here to my left
will all disappear. There are two deck levels, A deck
and B deck of my shit that is stacked over here,
and once I leave, I think it'll all be thrown away.
Speaker 6 (15:53):
Well, you're not going to take it in a box home.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
I don't want that puppet. I don't want the other puppets.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
Hey that my aunt made.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
That I do, but I don't have a place for
that in my home.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
There's a million places in your home. You have a
big mansion.
Speaker 5 (16:04):
No, no, Well, because he has too much shit already,
he's like working on getting rid of it. That's why
it's like hard to get you presents now for Christmas
or your birthday, because it's always like, I know, he
probably already has everything, and I don't want to give
him more shit.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
Gift card to Culver's always works for me.
Speaker 6 (16:20):
We do, I think we do to gift cars quite often.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
You guys, give me a Father's Day present.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
I just remembered it's in my car. I have to
go get it.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Are you serious to get a Father's Day present for me?
Speaker 3 (16:28):
Yeah, it's in my car.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
You're not joking, are you? Okay? Well let's wait, Well
Bailey go, Should.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
I go get it right now?
Speaker 1 (16:34):
No, I'm kidding. Okay, So we're going to wrap up
the Minnesota goodbye with with that thought, thanks for the emails.
These are a lot of fun. I really enjoyed the
Porm story that made me giggle and smile. You got
