It is the Minnesota Goodbye the After the Show podcast. If you're a first time or new Ish listener, it just basically it's emails and discussion of random things that might not make the cut of the morning show because you know, our standards are so high for the morning show, so these are a little bit different. Sometimes it's mostly emails and sometimes it's just rants about other things. Let's see what we got in the email today. Let's start off with
Hello from Colorado. Thought you would enjoy this. The twenty drunkest cities in America. Let's go through some of the ones that we would care about. Janesville, Beloit, Wisconsin. We're seeing Wisconsin, Grand Forks, North Dakota, Missoula, Montana, Wasaw, Wisconsin, Mankato North Mankato, Minnesota. I don't know what the criteria is, whether it's a number of liquor stores or consumption per capita either, but it's a man Cato like their college known
to partists, so maybe that's part of it. I'll be honest with you. I think every college has the party reputation, you know, except like like John's or maybe Saint Thomas keep it on the down low. Yeah, but everybody's like, no, man, you went to Saint Cloud's Day, that's the party school. And then you go, oh u w River Falls, Oh, that's the party school. So I really don't know. Oh Claire is number nine, Ames, Iowa's number eight, Fondilac is number seven,
Lacrosse on Alaska. I don't know if that's how you say it is Wisconsin that is six, Fargo, North Dakota is five, Madison is four. The rest of the top four are all in Wisconsin, Green Bay, Oshkosh. And the number one drunkest city in America is Appleton, Wisconsin. Again, I don't know what the criteria is. That is from Kayton, and Kayton has she's a realtor and she's in Colorado. And it's so interesting because realtors are the only profession and we talked about this before where you're required
by law apparently to put your picture on your business card. Yeah, and realtors are usually a track active. There is one and maybe you've seen this at the corner of by the Holiday Station and the Culver's in I guess it's mound right there on North Shore Drive. I know you're talking about. I
have no idea what Emmage you'll be talking about. As you go north toward Fletchers, there are two gorgeous women realtors on a sign on the right hand side, and so gorgeous to the point that even Susan mentioned it the other day my wife. We're driving north on I don't know what road it is, but as you cross and there's a holiday and a Culver's on your right, and there's a I think a Buyerley's lens on your left, there's a sign with two gorgeous realtors. And it's like, do you have to be
gorgeous to be a realtor? Yeah? I don't know. I mean, is that Navarre? Now I'm like, like, is Navar or an o Navar? Yeah, you're right, that's exactly what it is. And by the way, anyway, so Cayton, you are gorgeous and that is why you are a good realtor. Now that is not why you're a good realtor, but it is a prerequisite for being a realtor. Apparently either have to be a good looking guy or a good looking girl. I mean, my world or Jen is beautiful, so that's probably true. That's why I could
never be a realtor's the I could be a scarecrow. I would if this job ever doesn't work out, and get a job working at a good where would you like to be stationed? Like what sivers sivers cornin? So you want to be a popular scarecrow, high standard, You've got to work years to be in that level. Yeah. So I'm not ugly enough to be a scarecrow, but not attractive enough to be a real turn Next email, it says we're gonna say that one for the show. Basically, well,
I'm gonna ahead to read because it is kind of funny. It's not a Minnesota good Buy email. But I've had a sty on my eye for a week and it's painful. It is getting better, and of course you know the cure is time and put a warm compress on it. But it's been a pain in the ass because I don't have time to stand by the kitchen sink and repeatedly wet a washcloth and hold it up to my eye. It
does feel good when I do it. But Ali writes in and said I had to sty in high school and my teacher told me to put a nickel on it. Clean it first. Of course, the nickel somehow gets rid of the sky. I tape one on my eye overnight and it disappeared. Who knows it could have been a coincidence that it makes Susan take a photo of you with a nickel on my eye? Do it? Yeah? You
know, I appreciate it. But who's written in and text it in about what to do for a sty And I really appreciate it because they're just they're just awful and they're gross and your eye gets goopy and I haven't been able to wear my contact. Somebody said I looked like Al Franken. Now look at me. I'm gonna show you a picture of Al Franken. Okay, okay, okay, you don't know what I look like. I look like something like Al Franken. Apparently. Let me show you this picture that somebody
sent to me and then you tell me. God, I get a scroll down a little bit. Here we go. Okay, take a look at Al Franken. Okay, do I look like Al Franken? Not really, But I mean you have the same glasses as him right now, so that's probably why someone said it. In that photo he looks like I'll be honest, I don't know a lot about Al Franken. I know he's like big here he looks like a funeral home director in that picture kind of does.
All funeral home directors are old white guys in suits, you know what I mean, Like everyone I've ever been to, they're never young. It's like you can tell their family business. They're older white guys in suits. And I get they have to wear the suits, that's part of it. But that's like every single one I've ever been too much, and even here in Minnesota, well, there's a certain uniform for it. I mean, you
can't imagine. We're like a tank top that says def Leopard. You know, you walk in and there's like a guy flowers off the casket and their tank tops. Oh god, next one, it says, Dave. I hear you've been house hunting. There's a house for sale near us, located in gray Cloud Island on Moor's Lake. Depends on what kind of lake life you're looking forward, since it's a lake with private access only, so it's
not one of those lake with a bunch of people constantly out. We have a small fishing boat and some kayaks that we like taking out, and it's perfect for us. We actually have someone who frequently practices airplane landings and taking off of the lake on their floatplane is pretty cool to watch. Makes me curious if you've ever flown a floatplane. No, I have not, and
if that's what they're called, yes they are. If so, there is a big difference of the experience of landing of taking off on water versus a runway, absolutely, because you have to have a floatplane license or endorsement. So the main reason is it's a big different experience in controlling the airplane.
You've got the heavy, heavy floats on the plane that looked like canoes, and once you land on it, you don't necessarily have the same directional control because you're on water and the wind can blow you around and you really got to know how to navigate that. So unsure what size house you're looking for, We're probably not in your ideal location, but here is the listing in
case you're curious. You should know the house has seven garage spaces. They say they have a heated garage and shop, and we all know you have about one point two million hobbies, so this might be perfect for you. I'm going to save that. Megan and I'm going to look at it later. I don't know anything about it, but I'll check it out now. Was it you yesterday that said found that you don't like Chicago. You went Chicago and you're not impressed. I said, I've been multiple times, so
I'm not just doing a one time I said, unpopular opinion. I don't get Chicago. It is just of the big cities I've been to. It's so like, I don't get it. So I was waiting, is this someone turning on me? I was waiting for some of the turn on me. Not at all. No, I have thoughts about Chicago. I'm twenty five, lived in Minnesota my whole life. Moved to Chicago a few months ago to try something new, bigger city, Minnesota's drivable, has office here
friends. While I do have positives about Chicago, and I'm happy I came, it's probably more interesting to hear the negatives that my biggest negative is how expensive it is here. Here we go, Dinners out are a minimum fifty dollars a person, usually more like seventy dollars, a minimum with a tip that doesn't count the seven dollars an hour parking or the ubers. I now get excited when a drink costs less than fifteen dollars typical drink prizes or fifteen
to nineteen dollars. That's one of the things I love about small town Minnesota. If you go to Green Island, Minnesota and go to the Gray Wolf Bar, you get a rum and coke, it's like a dollar fifty. I mean, don't quote me on that, but you know what I mean. You know, you get a rum and coke at a like, I don't know, a fancy bar downtown Minneapolis. It's going to be twelve ninety
nine. Yeah. Rent prices are a nightmare. My new five hundred square foot studio apartment is twenty one fifty a month, not including utilities or the three hundred dollars a month parking, and that price is with one month free rent. For comparison, my pretty amazing seven hundred fair square foot one bedroom North Loop apartment seventeen hundred dollars a month with one hundred and twenty five dollars parking. I probably could have saved a little by living further away from downtown,
but then I would spend more money on ubers and public transportation. It's cetera. Horrifying. This is lower average price compared to others of the downtown area. I could go for a whole rant about how they look for excuses to ticket you poorly marked parking spaces, requiring a paid stick to utilize public street parking, but we'd be here all day. I promise, I'm not
stupid and I don't follow directions. This is a common consensus. I now hate driving my car anywhere, so it just sits in it's stupidly expensive parking spot. At least you get moneys worth of the spot. I will tell you I don't know much about Chicago politics, but I've heard Chicago politics as some of the dirtiest, most corrupt. And I don't want to say the police are corrupt, but I'm going to guess if politics are corrupt, the
Chicago police probably have some issues of corruption and unfairness as well. So I would never want to live in Chicago. To me, it's a place to visit, only no interest in liveing in Chicago. Overall, anything you buy in Minneapolis had fifteen percent of that. That's the Chicago price. Fitness classes, groceries, event tickets, insurance, etc. Oh, and that doesn't include sales tax. Seeing what my Amazon's orders cost before and after tax is
heartbreaking. All right, negative, Rand done. I could also list positive about Chicago, but I don't want to make this email any longer. I will quickly say I listen to you guys every day, and it is genuine Lee made the movie easier. I can't say thank you enough. Sincerely, your most devout Chicago listeners. Side note, if you're wondering how I afford this, I have a decently paying salary job and two part time jobs. Wow. I've always had multiple jobs for some extra cash and perks, but
now it's to afford living and doing anything fun. I'm also extremely fortunate not to have student loans. My salary is good but not great for my industry, so I genuinely don't understand how so many people can afford to live here. I know plenty of people out there and make less than me, can't work multiple jobs and also have to worry about student loans. Four kids yeah, wow, yep, next one? Is there any way The volume can
be turned up when recording the Minnesota Goodbye. It is noticeably quieter than your regular show and also seems to be only in the right channel when listening in headphones. Just wondering if anybody else has noticed this loyal listener from sellers Burg, Indiana, just down the road from where Fallon grew up. Than love you, guys. That is from Devin. Thank you, Devin. I feel your pain on that one. I did not know it was quieter. You're the first person to bring it up. You could probably, I think
you can amplify it, probably before you export it to me. Maybe. I don't know how that works, but I can try it. I bet it's just under when the setting is kind of like how we can stretch things
and short it. I bet you can. I can try that. But I can feel your frustration because I was listening to a podcast about weird history or something like that, and it was really interesting, but the volume was so low in my earbuds and I was running, and as you're running, you're like kind of huffing and puffin and it's a little harder to hear. And I turned that bitch all the way up and I still couldn't hear it.
So it is frustrating. Yeah, So I will check into that as we finalize the audio on this one, so hopefully it'll be better and it looks like it could be the last one. Love the podcast, Keep up the good work. This emails for Dave and or the woman who emailed yesterday saying her and her husband are both airline pilots. Anyways, I was on a work trip and during the flight I watched missing MH three seventy the Malaysia airliner. The woindn't missing and still cannot be found. This was a very
famous case close to ten years ago. Flight took off on a routine flight with you know, a couple hundred passengers on board Malaysian Airlines and it was flight three seventy and it disappeared and they were able to track it, but it didn't go the way it was supposed to and it never landed anywhere, and they're not sure what happened to it. For a long time they thought, oh, well, it got hijacked and it landed on some you know,
some country on an airstrip, or it crashed somewhere. But they've looked everywhere they can't find it. So my question today and the other two pilots, what do you think really happened to this flight and how did it really disappear? And no one has found it, yet it seems very very strange and highly unlikely this could have been pulled off without any outside help. Well, I definitely have a theory on this one, and I'm a big lever
in the philosophy that the simplest explanation is usually the correct explanation. So, for example, if your front door has been kicked in, and there's a robber inside your house and he's got your jewelry, and he says, you know, I'm your long lost cousin Troy, and I thought I heard you say kicked the door in and steal your jewelry, I'm sorry, it would the most logical explanation is that he is a robber and kicked your door in. Okay, Okay, So to me, the most logical explanation is the
pilot had something to do with it and crashed the plane on purpose. It would certainly not be the first time that a pilot has crashed a plane on purpose. Look up German Wings. A few years ago, a pilot waited until the copilot went to the bathroom, locked the cabin door, and crashed the plane into a mountain. God, there were some other ones where I don't know exactly the situation. But the pilot's absolutely crashed the plane on purpose.
And we've in a case where a co pilot had to like choke out kill the pilot so that they wouldn't in a way, there was there was a Federal Express FedEx plane a few years ago and somebody had an axe, and on a FedEx plane, it's only the crew like the pass into the pilot, copilot and maybe an engineer, and somebody tried to attack the pilot with an axe and they had to like beat the shit out of him to
keep him from killing the pilot and crashing the plane. So so my theory has always been, and I think the most popular theory is the pilot or somebody crashed the plane into the ocean on purpose where it was not supposed to be. By the time they looked in that area, all the wreckage had sunk okay, And they did find some wreckage from this from this flight Malaysia Airlines like later, like a year later or whatever, that had washed up
on a shore, but people think it was planted. And then there are the people who don't want to admit that their pilots would ever do something like that. Pilot turn off the tracking. They can turn off part of the tracking. They can turn off the part that tells how or low you are, but for the most part, they can't turn off the radar. But they were out of radar coverage apparently, So I mean, you go in
the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, there's no radar coverage. They weren't in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, but they were somewhere I don't know, in Asia, and I don't think there were radar tracking, so they just it just disappeared. And I think that the pilot or somebody on board definitely crash it on purpose. Anyway, Love the podcast, love the crew,
Keep it up. That is from Lucas. Thank you Lucas for your email, and that is it was some spare time to go fallon or actually at fifteen minutes or anything you want to add to this at all, you know, I was just going to add, oh, right of time. No, I'm sorry, Oh, I'm sorry about that. I'm sure it was something just amazing too, you know it. Maybe we'll get to it tomorrow
