Am I the only one that always has a problem with cell phone chargers? The cords stop working after a while? Why is it? And I think this happens it's a universal problem. You buy a cell phone charger, it works for a few weeks, for a few months, or maybe even a year, then all of a sudden, it just stops working and you plug it in. It doesn't work. So you turn it over right right, You turn it over, plug it in the other way, You wiggle it, you put it back and forth couple of times. Then it works for

a second and then it stops. You have this problem too, I don't think I do all really, I think mine normally work until they just stop working kind of and they usually last quite a while. Well that's bullshit. I'm sorry. That is amazing. Is not working over there right now? It does, but I had to turn it upside down and wiggle it, and if I touch my phone it stops charging. So anyway, let's get to the emails here on the Minnesota Goodbye, let's start in. Megan writes

in good afternoon, Dave, Jenny Vaughn. I want to start this email off on a good note by saying I love listening to you all so much, not only in the morning getting ready and during my commute, but also on my way home from work with the podcast Thank You. That being said, I'm not sure when it happened, but Dave, you started saying a right as a transition, averaging three or more times per episode. It's almost

comical, but it's also like nails on a chalkboard. Still love you, regardless, Love always, Megan, do you want to explain where the all right came from? Yes, there is a viral video of a gentleman who worked at Old Country Buffet. He was like a chef something there with the buffet area, and they ask him, is it do you want more meat loaf? Or what it? Not? Me? Love? They said something

like can you carve it really thin for me? Or something like that, I don't know, something like that, and then that's how he responds with all right, And so we had him on the show one day and then ever since then, it's kind of been just this running joke of saying it on the show. So that's how people sign off sometimes because the usual offline is dart lick, and a lot of people don't like to say that,

so they say all right. But it's if you go google Old Country Buffet training video and it was made in the nineties and it's very cheesy, and it's a guy he's a chef at Old Country Buffet and he actually worked there, and they're talking about how, you know, make sure your customers feel appreciated by asking them about their day. So he's like, have you tried

the lasagna? It's my favorite. Then there's one where he's talking to a little girl and he's like, so, how old are you anyway, and it's like, okay, creepy, but it's meant to be cute and it's just cheesy. But at the end of one of the conversations he goes, all right, yeah, and so that's where that comes from. So Megan, thanks for asking, because I'm sure there's a lot of people that go, what the fuck is that all about? Next one, Bethany writes in

good Morning, favorite morning show. I don't know if it's a good question for your listeners, but I thought I would share what happened with me last night to see if it'd be a good subject for the show or the Minnesota Goodbye. My question is have you ever had a loved one or important person that has passed away come to you in your dreams in support of what you're going through, could be good or bad. I am going through an incredibly difficult time in my life. I wish so badly that my mom could be

here to support me. She passed away four years ago, which was also incredibly difficult, and I would give anything to hear her voice and feel her hug during this time. Last night, she came to me in my dream. We were running around planning things for an event, and then all of a sudden, she made me get calm. She looked in my eyes, stopped me from doing everything, and just held my hand. I woke up bawling. I continued to cry once I woke up, but then all of

a sudden, calm came over me and I stopped. It was so real and I really felt her support. I was curious if any listeners have had similar experience. Just thought i'd share. Thanks for all you do to be uplifting. That's from Bethany PS. Today's Monday motivation really spoke to me. Soon, when all is going well, you're going to look back on your life and be glad you never gave up. That was the Monday motivation. Soon, when all is well, you're going to look back on your life

and be glad you never gave up. I assume this is true, but boy, when you're in the trenches, it is hard to see and anticipate that, Yeah, let's go back. I have dreams about my dad quite a bit and my mom a little bit less. Even though it's funny, I was much closer to my mom than it was to my dad, and I have dreams where they don't necessarily comfort me, but they're comforting. So in other words, Dad doesn't look at me and say, you know,

hey, it's okay, it's going to be better. Mom doesn't like say it's going to be good, but it's just comforting. Yeah. So do you have anything like that to share. I haven't lost anyone super closely. Said. It's probably my grandma on my mom's side, and so I've definitely had a couple dreams of out with her every once in a while. But I don't know that it was in moments of like I needed the comfort. I think it was just like a random dream that my grandma was in.

So I just I don't think i've really experienced that. If you have had a random dream like that. Let us know, or maybe it's not so random. The girls were over yesterday. They spent the night on Saturday night, and they wake up at six thirty in the morning. Ava comes in. We normally sleep until about eight thirty on Saturday and Sunday mornings. Ava comes in the bedroom at six thirty like clockwork. Every time we kept her up until nine thirty, and she still got up at six thirty. The

sun's up. Ava's up, She's up. She comes in. She's like Grammy, grammy, and then Susan got up with her because that was our agreement. It's like, okay, you get up with him this time, I'll get up with them next time. So I'm dreaming. I go back to sleep. I'm dreaming that one of them falls and hits their head at that moment downstairs. I don't know if the dream was caused by the noise.

I heard a thump, and and I'm like, yep, I don't know if my dream predicted it. Yeah, but I dreamed exactly what happened. One of them fell off her chair and hit her head, not hard, She's fine. It's so weird when you do have dreams like that where you're like, wait, can I predict the future now? Because I had a dream this weekend and one of the dogs that we watched wasn't it And

we've only watched him once and it was almost a year ago. And then literally woke up the next morning and I had a request to watch that dog again. Oh really? Did I just like predict that we were going to watch a little hockey again. Isn't that fun? It was his name Hockey, little Hockey. His name's Huckleberry. We call him hawk. Oh I love it. I told Susan, I said I want a new dog because I read somewhere for Josie. Yeah. Well, I read somewhere that old

dogs do well with a puppy and I love my Josie. Have you seen the video where I'm doing the hands? No, I didn't see it. You said you'd post it, but I didn't. I must not have been on Instagram. There's a viral thing going around, a trending thing going around on Instagram where you and your partner put your hand on top of each other and then see whether your dog puts their paw on top of your hand. Yeah. And I saw one dog do it, and people are like,

oh my god, that's amazing. He did. I can't believe it. So he did it with Josie. Josie had no interest at all, and putting her paw on top of our hands. She looks like she's sniffing around for a tree. She was like, I'm sorry, like where's the tree? Because when we were down on the floor with her, she's like, oh, that must mean to get a treat, so she's looking around for a treat. She is my girl. I just love her so much. But I thought, you know, she's fifteen. One day she'll be gone.

And somebody I read somewhere that older dogs do good with puppies. I don't know that she would, but I will say she does really good with the babies. She is so good. She doesn't get jealous, she doesn't get in the middle of them. She just walks right by them, and they'll scratch her and you know, play with her ears or whatever, and she's just very chill. So I don't know. Maybe I'll get a puppy.

I don't know. I would love that for you, because I think that I had someone recently, a friend who her dog was like eighteen nineteen. I think maybe even older, and they had gotten a puppy, And I feel like that did help the other dog, the older dog for a little bit live longer. Yeah, let us know whether that's a good idea to get a puppy for Josie. I don't know. Next email, all the way from Altoona, Wisconsin, Kyle writes a Crayola marker, a Paradise

razor blade, batteries, and two feet of twine. I'm wondering what's in your junk drawer? And I thought this topic would fit in well to the podcast. How do these drawers become a part of every house? Do you specify one upon buying a new home? Why do they spark so much curiosity? Is it a true junk drawer if you go through it and clean it out or organize it. I'm sure you can take that topic and run with it. Can you please send a sticker? Yes, I will send you

a sticker. Let me get a picture. By the way, Just to an update, I have not sent out staff rider stickers in a long time because I have been so busy and overwhelmed. I've had to move it way down my priority list. There's just no time. I'm getting ready for this high school speech, and I've got a lot of stuff going on. We had vacations, so staff rider stickers have moved way down the priority list,

but I will get them out probably this week. Sometimes I think people will understand considering you are using your own money to mail them and buy these stickers and send them itt for free. Talk about your junk drawer, Jenny.

I've got two junk drawers yep, side by side in the kitchen. They're both full of everything from sharpies, decks of cards, fingernail clippers, a mini screwdriver set, a big screwdriver, pliers, one of those things that you roll on your clothes to take the lint off, just your usual junk,

some abandoned little puzzles and things like that. What about you? So I have one also in the kitchen, and I'm going to be honest, I did organize it recently, so all the pens are in a topperware container, all contained, and I have little the little twist ties you get in the produce section to like hut the bag, a bunch of those in there, duct tape scissors. That one's like more organized. I have other drawers though, that just have such random shit. In it. I couldn't even

tell you. It's like house documents stapler. I think I have an Alexa in it or something like that too, like that we just don't use. Don't use your Alexa. I don't know why, but all the time, I don't know why we've never I should really get it out, because it's been I've had it for five years, and I think I used it once or twice, like back at my old apartment, and then when we moved

into the house, I just ended up not using it ever. And I don't like I don't like clutter on countertops, and so I was like, we're never using this, and so I put it in a drawer like two years ago and kind of have forgotten about it. I love my Alexa. We've got one here in the studio. I would talk to her right now, but it's not plugged in. I use mine all the time when I make something like Alexa, set of timer for fifteen minutes, or Alexa,

what's the capital of Delaware? You know? Yeah? Or Alexa what is eighty four times sixteen or whatever? I use mine a lot, or for music or listening to KTWGB or the podcast or whatever. Yeah, you know, be like Alexa play Lady Gaga. Yeah, so it's pretty cool. I think that is interesting. What is in your junk drawer? And how did that drawer happen to become the junk drawer? I think we had one when I was a kid too. It was part tools and part junk.

Yeah, just like I was to say, I think it was the same growing up for me, kind of the same as the one that I have in my kitchen. Next one, Jason sends a picture of a tree that looks like it's sucking a penis, so I wish it, says. Yeah, he says, keep up the great work and thanks for keeping me entertained for so many years. Jason in New Ulm, and it is a tree with a It looks like it's got an open mouth and another tree branch is growing into its mouth, so it looks vulgar and I love it and ippreciate

it. Thank you, Katie writes in I had to literally laugh out loud on Friday's Minnesota Goodbye podcast when you were talking about getting bombarded with promotional emails and referred to one about a dairy expert. I am a dairy expert. Ha ha ha I'm a fourth generation dairy farmer also work for the Department of AG as a milk inspector. It is safe to say that I live, eat, sleep, and breathe all things dairy. So if you need some titillating get it facts about dairy, I will hitch up with one of my

favorites I like to share with people. Oh, this should be good. Are you ready? Did you know that cows do not have any top front teeth. They have what is called a dental pad that they use to help chew their cud that is similar in texture to hard tissue. Hope you have a wonderful week. Lick dart, lick lick, Katie. No, I did not know that. That's kind of funny. Is it true that cows have like eight stomachs? And is it also true that cows are a big

source of methane gas and cows are a problem. What cows are a problem? Why because they have methane gas? Oh? They fart all day? Oh that's what I've heard. Wow, I will say. The reason we brought that up on the show was because we talked about how we get a bunch of junk spammy email that we don't really care about. And I used an example of like, hey, you can do an interview with somebody from the Dairy Association or a cow expert, and it's just so off brand for

us. But we get these all the time. Somebody will write in and go, hey, do you know that Spain is the number one tourist definite destination for college and it's like, do an interview about Spain and tourism. No, we don't care. This person does a podcast and they're an expert in this. You should have them on your show. It's you know, and Jenny used to do this for the Timberwolves. You send out massive email like press releases. No. I worked for meet Minneapolis, which is like

for the visitors in convention Bureau for Minneapolis. So yeah, we would send out press releases about conventions happening at the convention center. And yeah, we had a whole media list that we just sent it out to. And I had to work through the media lists, take names off when they'd block us, put names on when I found new people, we I block them most

of the time. And it's like, you know, I just feel bad for somebody who is you know, like that's their job, and I usually picture some twenty three year old fresh college graduate who's responsible for finding all the radio station, newspaper and TV station, you know, email addresses and sending out as many as they possibly could. And honestly, that is going to be kind of it for the Minnesota Goodbye because we're a little bit short on

emails today. Is there anything that, Genny, you want to bring up on the Minnesota Goodbye? Let me see, is there anything exciting? The only thing I'll say is that because we haven't been up to the north Shore in a while, we did a lot of new hikes we haven't done. And I just have to say this hike Mount Josephine. I've already talked about it. It was so fucking beautiful, Like I've never seen anything like that

in Minnesota before. How far of a hike is Mount Josephine from the parking lot to the summit, It's two point five miles distance, so only about a mile, so it's like, however long to get to a part It is a lot of elevation over the course of just a mile, so it's

kind of steep. But I don't know. Andrew and I are weird and we just like love to be tired, so we don't stop during those hikes, but you can easily stop and it's not strenduous at all, you know, like we just like ghost right through and just go as quick as we can. So I definitely was sweating, and don't get me wrong, I was sweating by the sum I got to the top of it. I know

what you being. I'm impressed that you don't stop and take breaks, because we hiked up the Hollywood Hills a week or so ago with Carson and it was steep. It was kind of some of it was like almost like climbing stairs. I'm going to give you. I'm gonna leave the with this note. There's an app and you sure heard it, but I'm sure it's called All Trails. All Trails use it all the time. Do you have the

paid version? No? I don't pay for it, but I'm at a point where I probably should because it probably would have saved me many many wrong turns by now. It's called All Trails, and I'm not really familiar with the unpaid app, but it's probably like under one hundred dollars a year, and no matter where you are in the US and probably outside the US, you can say, Okay, I'm looking for a trail near me, and you can filter it. Do you want it to be easy, moderate,

or difficult? Do you want it to be a loop trail? Do you want it to be an in and out trail? What distance are you looking for? And it'll find trails around you within ten miles or fifty miles that meet your criteria and it's really cool. And then when you get there, it'll show you the exact trail. It'll have reviews from other people who use the trail, like Okay, yeah, it's really busy in lots of crowds, or you know, it's steeper than you think it is or whatever,

or there's no water on the trail. What it is. But it's called all trails, And if you like to hike, or maybe you want to take up hiking, you know, invest one hundred dollars to see whether it's something that you like. And you can still see most of that stuff without

the paid version. It's mostly just that, like you can't download like the maps offline and stuff like that without the paid version, but you can see all the comments, you can see the recent pictures, so you can kind of see the trail conditions and stuff, because that's kind of how I helped like figure out what we should do up north this weekend, was looking at pictures in recent comments to see the conditions and stuff. Yeah, check it out. It's a very cool app. And that is it for the Minnesota

goodbye. What do you want to talk about? Do you want to talk about dreams that loved ones appeared in? Do you want to talk about your junk drawer and app that you love? A complaint and observation? Why we say dart lick or all right? I'm glad we got to explain that one, because that would be a weird thing to just hear like us go all right and not really understand it. But now you know, and that is it. Send your emails in please to Ryan Show at KDWB dot Common. Thank you for being here.
