All right, here we go with the Minnesota Goodbye. Let's dive right in with an email from Damante. He says, this is Damante. I suppose I'll let y'all know why you're Alexis still promoting the Barbie movie because we play Alexa password and when we say something like, let me try it right now, Alexa, good morning, good morning for me and Barbie going it's the best day ever. It is the best day ever. Alexa. Stop Alexa.
So he goes on to say, Alexa stop. Although I've been getting a chuckle out of seemingly to be the only person that remembers what's going on. When the movie was coming out, y'all were doing one of your games that involves Alexa. Alexis said there was a Barbie mode. Would you like to activate it? Fallon yelled yes, Alexa activate. I don't have Alexa devices. I'm not sure how you can turn it off. You're welcome, all right, Demante, We're gonna try this right now. Alexa. Hey,
Alexa, deactivate Barbie Mode. Okay, I've disabled it. Now let's try it again. Okay, I did not remember that. How long would that have stayed on? So let me try it again, Alexa. Good morning, Alexa, good morning, good morning. On this day in nineteen thirty, Bobby Jones became the first and only golfer ever to win all four major tournaments in the same year, which is known as the Grand Slam, and afterwards he received a full tick or tape parade in New York, which
is kind of like the Grand Slam of golf. Claps. Okay, thanks Alexa. By the way, shout out to my friend Shannon. She is a friend of the show. I met her when she was in the Katib Running Club a few years ago. And Shannon is a teacher. I think she teaches third or fourth graders and she has learned things on our show that she plays with her students. Alexa Password is one of them, and she sent me a video. Let me see if I can find it. It
might be worth sharing with you. Hold on one second, okay, listen, here they are. These are the kids in her classroom playing Alexa Password. Here we go, what's something white? And it looks and it's dead and it's not Halloween? Can you this money? Answer your question? The cotton ghost is Asia. So the word was ghost and a little kid got Alexa to say ghost, and I am just so tickled at Jenny that what
we do on our show made a classroom somewhere. Maybe we should do a version where I play Alexa and you try to get me to say a word like Drake gives you a word. Okay, you try to get me to It's pretty much like catchphrase. Never mind it's catchphrase. Oh yeah, Okay, that sounds good. I like it. Okay. And then also Shannon, shout out to you, Shannon. But she said they also do roses,
buds and thorns, which we did for a little while. We'd come back on a Monday morning from the weekend and we'd be like, okay, roses, buds and thorns, which is something I learned in Scout camp. At the end of the day, the Scout leader would say, okay, roses, buds and thorns. What was good about the day? Oh well, we had a great spot for lunch. What was bad about the day? Those are the thorns? Oh well, I got bit by a rattlesnake. And then buds are like what are you? What is buds? What
you're looking forward is what it is? What are you looking forward to? Okay? So anyway, Shannon, thanks for sharing that. I really appreciate that one and shout out to all teachers, and I would try maybe playing Alexa Platt password in your class because it is kind of cool. All right, thank you Demante for helping us figure out how to disable that. That was really annoying. Moving out of the next one, This is from Sandy.
We were talking about airplane seats. Remember the other day on Monday, a woman paid for a seat on the aisle and was asked by an elderly woman in the middle to switch with her so she could sit with her by her husband who was on the opposite aisle, And she didn't want to, but she did anyway, And people have had different opinions like you were a good person to do it, or you're a bad person for even thinking that you shouldn't do it. Blah blah blah, Sandy says, airplane seat.
The girl should have said no, but I'll trade aisle seats with your husband because I paid extra to have the aisle. Okay, didn't even think about that. Yeah, I mean she totally could have. She should have said no, I'm not going to trade and take the middle, but I'll gladly trade with your husband. Now he'll have the aisle and I'll have the aisle.
I will say that she did say in her original email, though, that the lady because she offered up, like can you ask the person in the middle seat and the other row that your husband is in, can you switch with them? Yeah, because then it's a middle seat for a middle seat, And the lady goes, no, I don't really, I don't like the middle seat. So I'm pretty sure that that woman might have just wanted to have the aisle, but that would have been an option obviously.
I probably would have asked that too, like, oh no, I'll switch with him though, That's probably what I would have right, Yeah, thank you Sandy, but I never thought of that one. Next one question, where is the best place to retire? Okay? Interesting, Not a lot of people that listen to the Minnesota Goodbye are at retirement age, I'm going to guess, but there are a few, and hopefully you all will get
to retire somewhere you want to go someday. Sandy goes on to say, we'd like to go out west, but too many wildfires and water shortages. South is too humid, New Hampshire is north and no income taxes. Our fear is all the drought and water shortages, so we feel like we should stay near Lake Superior. Did you know that it's emptied? All of North America and South America would be under one foot of water, that is wild, your fellow dart liquor Sandy smoker, Lake Superior was emptied. It was
emptied. All of North America and South America would be under one foot of water. That is wild. It must be one deep fucking lake. Jenny
told you. I did like a deep dive of Lake Superior over Labor Day weekend when we were staying at an airbn beyond like a very tiny lake, because I was looking at how deep that lake was that we were on, because we were canoeing in it and like kayaking and stuff, and Lake Superior terrifies me, Like I know that the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald at the bottom of it, multiple other shipwrecks, so many dead bodies are probably at the bottom of it. I just it is a scary lake to me because
of the deepness, the aggressiveness of it. The waves get super scary when they're storms or even like in the winter, the ice shards that come up on the shore. It's just a creepy lake to me. I never thought of it as a creepy lake, but I can kind of see that. I do know. I've been up there a couple of times when the waves coming off a lake Superior
