Speaker 1 (00:00):
And here we go with the Minnesota goodbye. We're gonna
dive right into one of the what was the thing
we before? We did though? We talked about earlier go
into a swingers party. Yeah, because Jenny said something about
wouldn't that be weird to go to a swingers party?

Speaker 2 (00:12):
Yeah? I did.

Speaker 3 (00:12):
I was like, I just feel like, how can you
engage in certain activities? But also like what if you
get stuck with the one FuG in the group?

Speaker 2 (00:21):
You know what I mean? And like, are you gonna
still wanna get Well, I think.

Speaker 1 (00:25):
You have it. I don't know, but I think you
have a choice. You don't have to get stuck with anybody.
And the videos that I've seen on porn hub are
usually equally attractive.

Speaker 4 (00:36):
Yeah, but that's on porn hub because Jenny says, what
if you get stuck with the one thug? And I think, like,
what if you get lucked out with the one good
looking guy that's there, because there's gonna be one.

Speaker 1 (00:46):
Nice with the one then he's with the one really
hot exactly there.

Speaker 4 (00:49):
Yeah, so you're you're bound to be with someone who's
not that cute.

Speaker 1 (00:53):
Well I would, I would think, And I don't know
I've known two swingers in my life, both women, and
they were both probably mid forties or so, and they
called it the lifestyle, and they said, it's a very
social thing. It's not all just about the sex. And
I'm like, yeah, I've been to a lot of parties
that were a very social thing. I can't imagine working
sex into there. To me, it's a very odd thing.

(01:13):
But a friend of mine who listens to the show
I won't say who, she went to a swinger's party.
Unbeknownst to her. Her boyfriend said, Hey, we're going to
go to a house party. And they went in and
they walked past all the bedrooms and there were people
in there hooking up, and they didn't do anything. It
was a little uncomfortable, so they left. But I'm going
to guess that you just kind of like wander into

(01:34):
a bedroom and then you maybe watch a little bit,
and then maybe you kind of decide to participate. But
I think, like I have any idea what I'm talking about.
The protocol is if you don't want to be around somebody,
then you don't have to be around.

Speaker 3 (01:50):
Them, right of course, And I feel like that's probably
common knowledge. But I also feel like you've got to
be just like pretty horny of a person who does
have like any insecurities because to go into a room
and like, I know, we had one girl on who
said that like people will watch and whatever, and it's
like I'm already thinking about things that are happening.

Speaker 1 (02:11):
In my line.

Speaker 3 (02:12):
Now I have a crowd watching me get it on,
Like I'm not going to be turned on in that moment.

Speaker 1 (02:18):
Well, but some people I think would.

Speaker 2 (02:19):
That's what I'm.

Speaker 3 (02:20):
Saying is like I think like there's a lot of people.
I think a lot of swingers probably aren't the type
of people who are just so sexual and don't think
as much during sex they're able to completely get out
of their heads.

Speaker 2 (02:32):
Maybe I'm wrong. I don't know if any swingers are listening.

Speaker 3 (02:34):
I would love to hear your perspective, but I just
feel like I couldn't do it, probably because I don't
want to, but also because like I would just get
what stage fright, That's what I'd get?

Speaker 2 (02:46):
Where's the lube?

Speaker 1 (02:50):
I think that they're I mean, if you're going to
go to a swingers party, you've got to have a
certain sexual desire to watch and to be watched and
to swap out with somebody else. I don't know how
they work, but it's always been fascinating to me the
different degrees of sexual comfort that people have. Some people
are very, very sexual creatures, and some people are like that,

(03:13):
I'm gonna had sex in fifteen years and I don't
even miss it. And I'm like wow, because most people
would be very not uncomfortable, but very unhappy with that.

Speaker 4 (03:23):
Sure, you think most people, but maybe you think you
or most people, but maybe most people don't care.

Speaker 5 (03:29):
I don't know who's the most people. We can never.

Speaker 1 (03:32):
Tell, you know. And that's the thing is, you never
can tell when you walk through your office. You never
can tell what people there are into. You never know.
All Right, We're gonna move on to the next one.
Happy twenty twenty five to my favorite morning crew. Random
question for you. Take your age divide by two. What
is a piece of advice that you now have for
you at that age? Jenny, you're thirty four, let's go

(03:54):
back to seventeen years old. What piece of advice would
you have for that person?

Speaker 3 (03:58):
Stop fucking car about what everyone thinks about you, Just
be yourself. I feel like I was such a I
wanted to I wanted everyone to like me. In high school,
I wanted to be friends with everyone. I was also
very insecure about my financial situation in my family because
we were very poor compared to most of my friends
because I hung out with like the rich jocks and stuff.

(04:20):
And I also was so insecure about that. And I've
come to a point in my life where I don't
give a shit if I have a mansion or a
house that like, I can just live in. What matters
is be happy, like But I was so insecure about
money and stuff.

Speaker 1 (04:33):
Okay, Bailey, I.

Speaker 4 (04:34):
Would probably say, you don't need a boyfriend. They're not
worth it, so quit wasting your brain space on wanting
a boyfriend.

Speaker 5 (04:41):
And also, don't drop out of choir. Keep doing choir.

Speaker 1 (04:44):
Okay, yeah, out.

Speaker 4 (04:46):
I dropped out before high school. So but I wish
I hadn't. But whatever, I mean, if I hadn't, then
maybe I could be somewhere else. I could be a
better singer and know how to do it. And I
don't know any tech I could be on probably not.

Speaker 1 (05:00):
It's a pop part up rightway, you know? You could
be on Broadway dressed as Minnie Mouse and having tours
take a picture with you, Yeah, I have one thing.

Speaker 2 (05:07):
No, you have to ruin everything, and that's.

Speaker 1 (05:09):
What I'm here for.

Speaker 5 (05:09):
One email.

Speaker 4 (05:10):
What would you tell yourself half your age, buddy, get.

Speaker 1 (05:14):
It, get it, get it, get it Gerald, No, I
wouldn't be fifteen. I'd be about thirty. No, I would
say seriously, I would say, don't let don't wait for
other people to promote your career. You go promote your
own career. Because there's been a lot of stumbling blocks
that I've waited for other people to, for example, syndicate

(05:36):
the show. And I really believe we have one of
the best shows in the country, but it wasn't up
to me. I left it to other people who didn't
want to do that. So I would say, don't let
other people dictate. And I've told this to Foul and
I said, don't sit around here. This is a great place,
but do not sit around here and wait for iHeart

(06:00):
Radio to decide, Oh, we're going to take Fallon. We're
going to send her to Cincinnati, Cleveland, Knoxville, and Tallahassee.
You know what I mean, right, don't sit around waiting
because they and I told the same thing to Raven.
I said, don't sit around waiting for this company. There's
nothing wrong with this company, just like any other company.
Any company does not go, Wow, what can we do

(06:21):
to improve Bailey's career? Yeah, they do not. They go
what can we do to ring all of the productivity
out of Bailey? Dave, Jenny vont Fallon Colt everybody, what
can we do to ring all the productivity out of
them that we possibly can. Your company is never going
to sit around and go, wow, Suzanne's been working here
for four years, it's time to you know, she needs

(06:44):
to do better, right.

Speaker 4 (06:45):
They just don't do that for yourself, even if it's
within the same company, Because like I've been in companies
where I'm just like, you know what, I'm working really hard.
I'm going to ask and see if I can get
a promotion or a raise or something. And then but
if I hadn't done that, I wouldn't have gotten because yeah,
you have to kind of be your own advocate.

Speaker 1 (07:03):
And if they don't in that company, then I really
think you got to look somewhere else.

Speaker 5 (07:06):
Yeah, spop out of there.

Speaker 1 (07:07):
I think that's really true because yeah, because your company
just is not going to be worried about your career advancement. Yeah,
so good question, Kristen. She says, keep on dart licking
in the new year. Ah right, thank you very much.
I'm gonna click delete on that and that. And there's
some junk emails coming in. Here's one from Sarah. Dave

(07:31):
wondered aloud what it's like when your email is read,
and I had to answer for me an introvert. It
was a kin to stage fright. My heart rate went up,
and I felt that in my tummy as well. I
badly wanted the group to respond positively to whatever I
had written. So apparently Sarah's written in before. Funnily enough,
I was outside with my dogs. I listened to Minnesota Goodbye,

(07:51):
and Jenny said, even though we don't want to go outside,
we'll feel much better if we do. I can confirm
that's true. It was ten degrees. I wasn't out for long,
but it felt invigorating. It was comfortable in two pair
of pants and three shirts. But I was worried about
my short haired dog. Dave, I think of you and
Josie every time I run with my eleven year old pooch.
When you talk about your girl, I think of my girl,

(08:13):
and I get so sad. That she won't always be there. Ah.
I have a little sweater that I put on Josie. Yeah,
she goes outside and her no boots. No, sometimes I
think she needs them, but you know she doesn't complain.

Speaker 2 (08:28):
Damn boots do not stay on.

Speaker 1 (08:30):
They don't stay on.

Speaker 5 (08:31):
That.

Speaker 3 (08:31):
When I first started doing dog watching, I would do
a lot of dog walking to and in the winter,
the lots of owners would want those boots on. I
would lose those damn boots and then I'd have to
go retrace my stack steps and find that they never
stay on.

Speaker 1 (08:45):
Yeah. I think we got boots for re Rexar Collie
years ago, and the first thing you did is pick
them up and try to shake them off. Yeah, so well, yeah, yeah,
get outside. I take Josie for a walk all most
every night, even if it's really cold. I put on
one of those like insulated face masks that they're nice. Yeah,
because that way I don't have to worry about the

(09:07):
wind blowing in my face, and I really enjoy it.

Speaker 2 (09:09):
Do you do it when it's dart I do.

Speaker 1 (09:11):
Sometimes I put on my head lamp and I walk
through the woods.

Speaker 3 (09:13):
I think it's good to get outside no matter what.
But also like getting outside. It's important to see the
sun too. Yeah, it's like direct Like even if you
have a ton of windows in your house or wherever
you work, that's not the same as being directly in
the sun.

Speaker 1 (09:25):
I would agree. Also, I recently watched Presumed Innocent, and
it was the most average, not bad, but not good
show I've ever watched. I think Dave spoke about it
a few months ago. I truly don't remember, but I
don't remember if you like it or not. I think
the best show I've watched lately is Shrinking. You guys
heard of Shrinking.

Speaker 4 (09:43):
It's on Apple TV. It's got Jason Sagall or Jason
Jason Siegell in it. I think it's about a therapist,
isn't it. I think Jason Siegell and Harrison Ford maybe,
isn't it?

Speaker 1 (09:55):
Okay?

Speaker 5 (09:55):
Yeah, and it's about therapy.

Speaker 1 (09:58):
I also love Nobody asked for this or whatever that
Adam Brody show is called. What are all of your favorites?
Thanks for making me smile so often. I'm glad you
had a long break, but I miss you like crazy, Sarah.
Thank you, Sarah. The latest show that I binged on
I started to watch the Jared subway guy. Oh yeah,
and it was so depressing and disturbing.

Speaker 5 (10:18):
My mom knew that guy, and she said he's an asshole.

Speaker 1 (10:21):
Really yeah, Jared.

Speaker 4 (10:23):
She used to work in like food, like for the
food service industries. So she worked for Pillsbury and General Mills,
and so they like would work with him as like
kind of a rep sort of endorsement sort of thing.

Speaker 5 (10:33):
Yeah, she said he was a jerk, huge jerk.

Speaker 1 (10:36):
I've heard that he was very cocky.

Speaker 5 (10:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (10:38):
We had him come to a promotion that we did
twenty ish years ago when he was very popular. Right
after my big fat Greek wedding. We did my big
fat Fat wedding and Jared came in and made an appearance.
We did it at a subway and we looked for
the fattest couple that wanted to get married. We wouldn't
do that.

Speaker 5 (10:56):
Wow, that's wild that that evens.

Speaker 1 (10:59):
Yeah, we wouldn't do it. Now, we found a couple.
They were both fat, they were both overweight, and Jery
came in and did an appearance and he was kind
you know, he was in and out. It wasn't a
big deal. Another show we kind of binged on was
It's called Missing You, and it's about a woman who
is a detective. It's a London, English, British kind of
a show and she's a detective and her dad was

(11:20):
murdered and they're trying to figure out who did it
and why. And it's a limited series. It's five episodes.
We're about we're on episode number five. Just finished four,
so that was really good. And then the show that
I watched was The Substance, which I really liked. Just
over the weekend. Any shows you guys want to recommend.

Speaker 2 (11:37):
I got nothing right now.

Speaker 4 (11:39):
Yeah, I'm not necessarily watching anything right now. I usually
watch or try to rewatch all of the Marvelous Missus Maisel,
like once a year. That's my favorite show that's ever
been created. Also, Flea Bag is always good.

Speaker 1 (11:52):
For Flea Bag is really good too.

Speaker 4 (11:53):
Yeah good, But those are the ones I usually watch.
I always have Seinfeld on is like a back burner.
So if I am not active watching something and I
just want to sit and like zone out, all put
on Seinfeld.

Speaker 5 (12:04):
But I'm only like halfway through it.

Speaker 1 (12:06):
I'm impressed that you like Seinfeld because you strike me
as the kind of person who would not like Seinfeld. Now,
I don't mean that in a negative way. But a
lot of people like Seinfeld Strup, but I don't get it.

Speaker 4 (12:15):
I don't like Frasier. I think that is kind of cocky.
But I like Seinfeld because I really like George Costanza.
He just seems like the people's people, even though he's
really problematic in general.

Speaker 5 (12:25):
I just like it. It's a good vibe.

Speaker 4 (12:26):
Their outfits are cute, their problems aren't real problems.

Speaker 5 (12:30):
I love it.

Speaker 1 (12:31):
It is a good show. Did you like the Office? Oh?
I love the Office? Good Obsessed Shannon says, welcome back friends.
Good to hear you again. It's your friendly flight attendant.
After a crazy holiday of flying, I was thinking of
the strangest things passengers say. I will list some below,
But what are some commonly weird questions or sayings you
get related to your job? Here we go with things

(12:52):
she heard from passengers. They've got me seated in the
back of the bus. Please stop saying this. This microaggression
is completely unrests necessari. Okay, stop saying that they put
me in back with the help. Stop Is this the
men's bathroom? While pointing at the lab lab. I guess
that there are weird things that people say weird. We say, oh,

(13:15):
we're back in steerage. So because they use that term
on Titanic. Oh like, oh, well, the filth you are
Irish people go back with the steerage or with the steerage.
So Susan and I are like on a plane and
we're way back in row forty two. We're like, oh,
we're back in steerage. Weird things that people say to us.

(13:37):
The radio, Yeah, yeah, we get that all the time.
I don't listen to the radio. Okay, well, I don't
shop at your Walmart.

Speaker 5 (13:43):
Something like that. But why do you keep out asking
me about it?

Speaker 4 (13:45):
That's me because I'm I'm new, so people I know
knew me before this, and they'll be like, so.

Speaker 5 (13:50):
How's how's the show? How's this? How's that? Oh? I
don't listen to the radio. I'm like, then, why do
you keep asking me about it? Geeesh?

Speaker 1 (13:58):
I get that once in a while too. It's like
Dave like, yeah, what do you say?

Speaker 5 (14:03):
I say, he's fine, he's nice.

Speaker 1 (14:05):
Good. I'll take that seriously. I'll take that.

Speaker 4 (14:08):
It depends on if they're actually interested. If they're actually interested,
i'll go into detail. But if they're just asking to
make conversation. Then I'll just be like, yeah, he's fine.

Speaker 1 (14:15):
Okay, yeah, what kind of detail you go into?

Speaker 5 (14:17):
No, I'm just like, oh, well, well, usually they say
like how did you get that job?

Speaker 4 (14:20):
Because they're jealous, So then I go into that, and
then I say like, yeah, he's a nice guy, he's kind.
I've had mean bosses and he's not a mean boss.
Oh well good, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (14:31):
I'll take that seriously. Then she goes on to say,
all right, happy twenty twenty five from Shannon, Thank you Shannon.
Next one is not a Minnesota goodbye. So let's try
this one. Here we go from Kristen. Been wanting to
write in for a while, but I never have anything

(14:52):
good enough to actually be a discussion, that is until now.
You know what's really pissing me off lately using age
as an excuse to be a fucking My husband and
I are currently going through some issues with both of
our families, and the excuse is always the same, Well,
you know, so and so is old and that's just
how they are, and that's such bullshit. Don't use being

(15:13):
sixty plus as a crutch to you just being a
mean person. In my opinion, grow up and be an adult.
Why do you have to be a crotchety old bag
and think being horrible to others is a good justification
to that Due to this generalization, BS, I've cut off
all elders in my personal family due to my own piece,
because I've grown to realize when you get older, you
choose who you want to be around and you are

(15:35):
no longer forced to spend time with people that you
don't want, and this includes family. Anyway, Thanks for listening
to my rant. What are your thoughts on this? Am
I crazy thinking this is socially unacceptable behavior? Am I
becoming the crotchety old bag? Just kidding? I'm thirty years
old and I just know better. If I don't have
anything nice to say, I just don't. That's a crazy concept, apparently.
I hope you guys have a great day. Thanks for

(15:57):
always making me giggle during work. Selfishly, I'm glad you
guys back from your time off because listen to reruns
really made me miss you. Guys, Love always, Kristin Julie's mom.
Many years ago, my ex Julie her mom once said,
when you get older, you either mellow out or you
become crankier, and so I really think that's true. My

(16:22):
dad actually became much more mellow and peaceful. He was
a very quietly intense person when he was younger. But
I think that's true. I think that, you know, I'm
older like your relatives are, and I do find myself
being cranky and judgmental, and Susan will call me on
it sometimes she'll be like, God, stop being so negative.

(16:42):
I'm like, you're right, Yeah I am, because I don't
want to become well well for the moment. Yeah, And
I think I have good days and bad days. But
I don't think that it's necessarily an age thing. I
think it's a personality thing. I know plenty of older
people in their sixties, seventies and eighties who are wonderful,
warm and kind. Yeah, like our old general manager Mark.

(17:06):
He's the one who hired me and I run into
him once a year or so, and he's got to
be seventy five, close to eighty, and he's wonderfully warm
and kind. Mama Ronda seems to be wonderfully warm and kind.

Speaker 4 (17:18):
She's pretty crotchety, is she croschedy? I mean, both my
parents have kind of have gotten crotchety in their older age,
where they'll complain a lot and then they will justify
their complaints. Like the emailer has said, I.

Speaker 1 (17:30):
Wonder if it's because, I mean, there might be a correlation.
When we are not feeling good, we get cranky, we
get short with people. Sure, and when you're older, shit
hurts on you. Your back hurts, your hip hurts, your
bunyan's hurt all time. I wonder if there's a correlation
between not feeling good and being cranky.

Speaker 4 (17:48):
I'm in pain, therefore I'm going to complain about my
neighbors or whatever. Yeah, yeah, x y Z okay, any
other thoughts on that January Your people crotchety?

Speaker 3 (18:00):
My parents are pretty decently upbeat. My dad was crotchety
for a while when he had a job that he
worked for forty years that he hated, and I called
him on that like a handful of years ago, and
then he kind of stopped bitching about that. Yeah, but
for the most part, they are decently positive. Luckily, I
don't really think I have too many crotchety people that are.

Speaker 5 (18:18):
It's harder.

Speaker 4 (18:19):
It's hard to like call out the people who are
crotchety when it's when they should be called out on.
Like if my mom's complaining hard, She'll complain and complain
and complain, and I'll be like, I don't know what
you want me to say, and then she'll get mad
at me because I'm not like feeding into her complaint.
So it's hard to like call them out and have
them change.

Speaker 1 (18:37):
Okay, you know, do you think honestly, I'm just gonna
go ahead and say it because it's on my mind.
I know somebody who is always crankying down and very negative,
but now she's got a boyfriend. Sure, and now she
feels loved and she feels appreciated and desired, and so
she's been much happier lately. Do you think that it
has anything to do with your mom not having that
partner that she can go play bingo with, go to

(19:00):
church with, or whatever.

Speaker 4 (19:01):
I mean, maybe it could be. I mean, my mom's
been like single for my whole life, really your whole life,
my whole life. Wow, And she lives alone. She doesn't
go out and do stuff. She's like a regular at
a couple bars, so she has some like friends there,
but like, other than that, she's not an active woman.

Speaker 3 (19:16):
You're so outlet, though I am so still I complain to.

Speaker 4 (19:21):
Right and I'll listen to her, but sometimes she complains
about suff where I'm just like, this isn't the thing
that be complaining about?

Speaker 5 (19:26):
Why are you doing that?

Speaker 1 (19:28):
And last email on the Minnesota goodbye. We have a
bunch of these, so thank you. I always love open
to the mailbox. It's kind of like going to the
tree on Christmas morning. There's a ton of presents instead
of just like one, and it's a sweater that doesn't fit.
So thank you for all these appreciated Hello all, says Nathan.
Last week I heard a replay of the Nick the
Stoner War the Roses for probably the thirtieth time, and

(19:49):
I still laugh every time. This is a bit you've
replayed probably hundreds of times. Has anybody ever called in
or texted in to say they know Nick and now
he owns his own bus company, is a CEO, or
has spent the last five years in prison? Or did
it come out that they were indeed just punking you.
Any additional information surrounding your most famous bit would be
a greatly appreciated thank you, Nate. Nate, No, we never

(20:13):
heard back, which makes me think that they might have
been punking us the entire time because it was just
so stupid. But I don't know. I will never know.
That bit was fifteen ish years ago, back when.

Speaker 5 (20:29):
We at Night keeps you up at night.

Speaker 1 (20:31):
Yeah, yes, Lena was here, so that would have been
before two thy twelve or eleven, and so we're going
back at least thirteen, fourteen, fifteen years, so we will
never know. But thanks for asking. Glad you still enjoy it.
And that's it for the Minnesota Goodbye. Send you your
emails to Ryan Show at katiewb dot com. We'd love

(20:53):
to get you on tomorrow

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.

I’m Jay Shetty host of On Purpose the worlds #1 Mental Health podcast and I’m so grateful you found us. I started this podcast 5 years ago to invite you into conversations and workshops that are designed to help make you happier, healthier and more healed. I believe that when you (yes you) feel seen, heard and understood you’re able to deal with relationship struggles, work challenges and life’s ups and downs with more ease and grace. I interview experts, celebrities, thought leaders and athletes so that we can grow our mindset, build better habits and uncover a side of them we’ve never seen before. New episodes every Monday and Friday. Your support means the world to me and I don’t take it for granted — click the follow button and leave a review to help us spread the love with On Purpose. I can’t wait for you to listen to your first or 500th episode!
