Speaker 1 (00:00):
So I'm reading something this morning about the Midwest goobye.
The Midwest goodbye is a goodbye that takes a while.
You basically say goodbye to everybody if you're at an
event or a party. Yeah, they call it the Midwest goabye.
You're hugging everybody's The Midwest goobye.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Basically could take an hour. Yeah, it could.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
I learned from my buddy Brett years ago. This asked
me twenty five years ago. We were out, we were
doing stuff, and he was gone, and I'm like, what happened?
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Where'd you go? He goes, I did the French dip.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
Now people call it the Irish goodbye, yeah, but he
called it the French dip. And I just I like
that even better, just because you are dipping out. And
so the French dip is like the Irish goodbye, you
leave without saying goodbye. Yeah, And I thought initially it
was a little rude, but I've adopted it, and now
(00:55):
many people that I know have adopted it. The Midwest
goabye is the complete opposite, and it's kind.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Of what Lulu does. Yes, you have to say goodbye
to everybody?
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Yeah, well, yeah, I mean if I don't get all
the way around, but to the if I'm at a party,
the host, or if I'm hanging with people all night,
I'm going to make sure I say goodbye, and it
does make my goodbye way much longer.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
You got to start an hour before you really want
to leave. That's ridiculous. I know it is, as long
as you acknowledge the host, as long as you get
around to see everybody.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Why do you feel the need to say goodbye? I
wish I.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Didn't, but I do, and the host I want to
thank right, thank you so much, And then then other
people it just turns into a whole big thing.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
You got to start an hour before you really want
to go.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Have you heard this phrase the Midwest? Gobye?
Speaker 4 (01:45):
No, I didn't know what it's called that well, I mean.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
I don't know if that's what everybody calls it, but
I'm reading a story about the Midwest.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Gobye?
Speaker 5 (01:52):
Yeah, I never heard Midwest.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Cabye can take over an hour, It's true, that's ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
I know the Irish goodbye or what I pray for
calling the French dip is the way.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
To roll sounds like it. But I don't know if
I can ever adopt.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
That you and I have been in places and I've
done the French dip.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
He's already gone.
Speaker 5 (02:11):
You can't stay here, Like, why did you leave? I'm
like an hour after you?
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Do you do this? Or do you do the Midwest goodbye?
Like Lulu?
Speaker 1 (02:20):
At some point you're ready to go, and if you
try to say goodbye you could be a problem. Now
Lulu doesn't like that technique, and you don't like it either,
Is that right, ma'am?
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Hi, what's going on? What are you thinking?
Speaker 6 (02:33):
I think it's kind of rude. They wouldn't want you
there if they didn't invide you, so just to quick, hey,
I just want to say goodbye, I'm leaving and have
a good time.
Speaker 5 (02:43):
Yes, a good time, and thank you.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
I will tell you this.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
I almost feel like the text the next day is
more personal and better because when they're hosting the event
and you say goodbye, there's all this other commotion going around.
And my experience is it's okay to do the French tip,
not say goodbye, and then send a very nice message
to try.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
To justify it. I'm not justified, Okay.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
I'm letting all my people know that I struggle with this,
that it's okay.
Speaker 6 (03:13):
Well, you know, if it works for you. I guess
I've always just said, hey, I just want to say bye.
I'm leaving. I had a really good time thing for
inviting me, and they give me a hug and away.
Speaker 5 (03:23):
I go, Well, listen, I'm with you. I like to
be polite and say goodbye and thank you. And I
also have.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
Enough restraint if people are trying to get me to
do another shot to say I can't, I'm driving.
Speaker 6 (03:41):
And I got to drive all the way to my uncle.
Speaker 5 (03:43):
So they get that exactly.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
So that's what you have to say, Maverick, No I
can't I'm driving. That'll get shout the door, or you
don't say anything like I said, and you just leave.
Speaker 6 (03:57):
Thank god.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
May I love you have a great day. Yeah, all right?
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Do you do they all day at work?
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Do you do the Midwest gobye?
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Or do you do the Irish goobbye slash French dip?
At a party? Are you like Lulu and our friend
there on the phone? Do you have to say goodbye
to a lot of people or when you're done you
just fade away?
Speaker 2 (04:26):
So must have left.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Yeah, I'm curious what your philosophy is in this do
you do the Midwest goodbye or do you do like
the Irish goodbye French dip thing?
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Sir, Hey, I'm calling about the party thing. Yeah, so
what's your policy?
Speaker 1 (04:39):
I think it is absolutely okay to leave a party
without saying goodbye, especially.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
If I'm the one having the party. Just get out.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
I love it.
Speaker 5 (04:59):
It doesn't sound you like to host a party.
Speaker 6 (05:02):
I do like to host a party.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
I just don't want all to sticky.
Speaker 7 (05:05):
Oh thank you so much that man drink.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
You're just getting your car. Go see Louie. You're here
to directly from a host. You don't need the big.
Speaker 5 (05:17):
Goodbye, just need to be a big one.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Hey bye.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
Thanks.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
I didn't host a party to say goodbye. I host
a party to say hello. That might be the best
thing I've ever heard.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
You say goodbye and it takes a while you're hey, goodbye.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
It never works out.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Okay, what do you think, my friend group? You basically
just disappear.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
I can't do it. I don't think I've ever done that.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
That's my move.
Speaker 5 (05:54):
I know it is, like where.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Do you go?
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Okay? So I'm curious what you think now, Wanda? What
was on your mind on this now?
Speaker 7 (06:05):
Well, I'm weighing in on the leaving the party early.
Thank the host first. When you get there, Oh, thank
you so much for having us. Absolutely, then you speak
out the bathroom window or the back door.
Speaker 5 (06:16):
Or whatever bathroom window.
Speaker 7 (06:21):
That's always been my phrase.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
I've never actually done that.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
But I think Maverick as Wanda, it sounds like you
have friends like my friends, that really don't want you
to leave or want you to have another exactly.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Yep.
Speaker 5 (06:35):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
I've always found my way of getting out, you know,
I say thanks and keep moving.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
But what Wanda's saying is if you thank them when
you get there, Yeah, there's no obligation to thank them
again when you leave. If you want the next day
you can follow up. That's right.
Speaker 5 (06:51):
I like to do it when I get there and
when I.
Speaker 7 (06:53):
Leave you're too politely lose.
Speaker 5 (06:56):
Well, maybe there's that.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
I just think it's smart.
Speaker 5 (07:00):
Either way, whatever works for you. I think that it's
a nice thing to do to say thank you.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
I'm gonna go now.
Speaker 7 (07:05):
Well, it's nice if it's the church party or something,
but if there's drinking involved and you gotta get on
the road before somebody naps you, then duck out.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
I agree, Wanda.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
If it's a church party, I will say goodbye right,
love you, Wanda, have a great day.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Thanks, h bye?
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Do is a Wanda and I are doing the French dip,
the Irish goodbye. Yeah, Lulu does what they call the
Midwest goabye and she'll take an hour, hour and a
half to say goodbye.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
What are you doing? Sir? You had a comment on this,
Oh calling on the question sure, who's this Scott? Scott?
Where you're calling from? What do we think? By one
hundred percent?
Speaker 4 (07:53):
It's okay.
Speaker 6 (07:54):
My friends actually like it too.
Speaker 5 (07:58):
Does your wife like to without saying goodbye?
Speaker 1 (08:01):
No?
Speaker 5 (08:04):
So it's a guy thing.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
It is the guy thing. See, I think it's a
woman thing.
Speaker 5 (08:08):
It can be.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
Everyone's different, that's true.
Speaker 5 (08:11):
I think that more men do in my life.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
They did, so, Scott, why did you start doing this because.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Of what you said? You know, you think of the
five more minutes, another hour goes by, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
That's exactly, and then you've had another shot or another
drink and you didn't want to.
Speaker 5 (08:26):
We don't have to. Oh did someone twist your arm?
Speaker 3 (08:29):
Average?
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Right, Scott?
Speaker 7 (08:34):
Hey, hey, we're all we're all week.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
We go for that extra shot really love you. Have
a great day, man, have a great day.
Speaker 5 (08:50):
Goodbye?
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Do you do the Midwest goabye like Lulu? And literally
you have to say, like you're on a game show,
goodbye to everybody? Or do you do like the Irish
goodbye or the friend dip at a party.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Or an event. You had a comment on this whole thing, ma'am.
Speaker 6 (09:04):
Hey, I'm dippy on that. Sometimes find the host and
how I but sometimes I'll just leave because i gotta
way off the country. And when I'm tired, I'm tired.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Well that's the thing.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Like this past weekend, it was starting to get a
little crazy, and I was like, though, there is no
way I'm letting anybody know I leave, and I had
already participated in some of the festivities.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
I bet.
Speaker 5 (09:32):
I can only imagine. I have a good idea what
went down. I surprise you're here today.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
But here's the thing. You think it's rude that I
don't say goodbye exactly.
Speaker 6 (09:45):
And I'm like you, They're like, hey, let's do one
more shot for goodbye, And I'm like, ah, exactly.
Speaker 5 (09:51):
You can wave them off.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Gotta go, really yeah, wave them off, wave them off.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
I could have flames that I'm waving, and they would
come through the flames to feed me another shot.
Speaker 7 (10:07):
Like okay, when we're shot.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Let me just tell you this. I think about this
the more I.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Know Lulu's off base, because when Lulu's around.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Some of my friends, she doesn't say goodbye.
Speaker 5 (10:21):
No, I can't. That's the only time I gotta go.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
You don't say goodbye.
Speaker 5 (10:29):
I can't where.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
Lou logo, I know better and do better.
Speaker 5 (10:39):
I want to stay alive.
Speaker 6 (10:44):
I knew you were telling the st Here's the thing.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Lulu's story is different in Lulu's world. When Lulu steps
into my world.
Speaker 4 (10:53):
Oh yes, it's a different ballgame, different everything.
Speaker 5 (10:56):
I do admit that.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
Dogs right, Oh I can't do it.
Speaker 5 (11:07):
Yeah, I lean that to him.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Oh good, Hey, thank you for calling.
Speaker 5 (11:12):
Sweet, thank you.
Speaker 6 (11:13):
I have a great name.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
You buy so you do do the French dip when
you're in my circle.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
You f so you won't make it out.
Speaker 5 (11:24):
I had my sister picked me up once.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (11:28):
I never told you that.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Oh yeah, but you get your car realized.
Speaker 5 (11:33):
Yeah, that's why. After that one time, that's the only
time I French dip. I learned my lesson the hard way.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
So it's okay. For me to French dip. You're calling
it rude. Now you do it only if you want
to lift. You gotta fuck.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
I've got friends dad. They don't want you to go.
And one you're on the line and you're feeling me
on this.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
You get it, I feel you. It gets that way.
You can't, Lulu, you just can't. Why can't you just go?
Speaker 5 (12:03):
I can't. I'm driving.
Speaker 6 (12:05):
They don't care, they don't, They really don't care.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Somebody said that the other day, Lulu, and they said,
I'll get you an uber hang for another hour, they'll
pay for.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
You know, it just happened one time. Somebody literally a
guy showed up.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
And he's like, I'm your Uber driver and he's like
I'm fine.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
He's like, no, you had a couple more drinks. They
ordered him a driver and he showed up.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
So then say I have to do a sat to
go to the bathroom and then you leave.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Oh, but then goes back to the scenario you're being
really nope, Oh, you hang out with me in one
and you'll become rude. We'll train you right
