Fecal Transplants

Jenny's going to talk about her butt. So let's get no, well, let's get started, because Jenny, it's funny because everybody, nobody wants to admit that they poop. Nobody who wants to admit that they you know, they're belly rumbles. Nobody admits that they have gas. Nobody wants to admit. And that's great because that's certain things we don't want to talk about. But sometimes here on the Minnesota Goodbye, you know, Jenny's got some belly

issues. I've got belly issues. Maybe you've got belly issues. And if you don't, then thank you lucky stars, because it does kind of suck. So you talked about fecal transplants. Yeah, I listened to this podcast yesterday with this doctor on there, and apparently this is a thing where they study people and they find people who have healthy poop. And now a fecal transplant is a new thing to put into someone else's body. And this is

just the beginning stages. This is not a very frequent thing right now. This is not like you just go out and you get a fecal transplant, but it's to help other people who have really bad gut health issues. Or it was all about gut microbes too, because that's like a whole thing that affects to your gut health and honestly just so many other parts of your system

as well. But I did I never heard of fecal transplants before, and that it can literally come from like a healthier person and be put into a not so healthy person and should be able to help that. It goes up like a colonoscopy, So they take other people's poop or some part of their poop, Yeah, and they like put it in the same way that the I've never had a colonoscopy before, so I don't know exactly how that works.

But he described it kind of similar to that you kind of insert it in that way, and he said it sounds much more disgusting than it is, but it's like, you know, it's not like a big piece of shit shoved up your butt. Okay, that sounds kind of kinky. Yeah. I don't know if Koultle bit, but it was just an interesting thing. And like the host. So, the host his name is Stephen Bartlett.

He hosts The Diary of a CEO. It's a great podcast. You should listen to it very educational and he was joking how like in fifty years, the new rich is going to be having healthy poop because everyone's going to desire to have health just because like over the years, obviously we have become unhealthier as a not as a human species, because there's other countries in the

world that remain healthy. But like all the process shit we eat in America and stuff, you can go to like more of a I don't want to say third world country, but a country that eats like beans and rice and just like your whole grains and that's all they eat, ye, And there's so much healthier over there. And so he joked that like the new healthy or the new rich is going to be like having this healthy gut in fifty years because everyone else is like unhealthy, and that's what you desire is to

be healthier. That is probably true, because I know people always comment on this, They say, if they've never been to America before they get here and they can't believe how fat we are, and you just you know, I've not done a lot of world travel, but I did notice that in a couple of times that I've been to Europe. I went to Paris, I did all the cliche stuff. I went to Paris, I went to Munich, I went to Rome, and most people there are thin and Susan

and I says, because they walk everywhere and they smoke. Well, I think also just their diet. But I think over here, for whatever reason, we we just eat worse. And I've heard that we were supposed to eat beans. Beans should be a huge part of a diet. And you may say beans, and people like, oh beans, beans of magical fruit, blah blah blah. But I guess it's got all the like the fibers and the nutrients and all the good things that we don't get enough of.

I think another huge thing he touched on is that in America, women are getting on average eighteen grams of fiber when we should be getting twenty five. And I think men it was around thirty that they average, but they should be getting like thirty eight grams of fiber, okay, And so that's super important. And then it's just this domino effect that if you're not getting enough fiber, then you're not pooping healthy, and then that affects your gut.

And I don't know, I'm just like very interested in stuff like that because we all know I've had gut issues for a very long time and I'm a decently healthy person, so it's very frustrating to me for sure. Yeah, did your mom or dad have gut issues? I know my mom did, and I think she passed on to me. Yeah, I don't. I don't really think so. I mean, I think my mom has health issues that I feel like she doesn't really deal with because she doesn't sleep at night

and hasn't for years, like probably for like fifteen years. She just rolls around so much. So I probably inherited that from her somehow. But I feel like a lot of it does come down to like gut health issues because I know, like a night where I roll around more, it's like my stomach is not feeling good that night or something. And so I'm just really trying to focus a little bit more on what I can do to help myself

out. And a big thing I learned is just like obviously you can have a healthy diet, but you also have to have like a variety in your diet of like eating plants and fruits, so like, don't just always My big thing is like I always eat spinach and blueberries and maybe like arugula for salad or something and broccoli, Like I stick to the same kind of fruits

and veggies. And this guy was talking about how we should have like thirty different things that help with our mind, and I mean he touched on kimchi and making homemade what was it, sauer kraut and cabbage and all of this stuff, and I was like, I mean, that's doing too much. It is, And I think and I think that's the thing, is that it is a matter of we're so busy. I think it's not just an isolated thing happening in a vacuum, Like we don't just have a wonderful life

and everything's balanced, but we eat like shit. I think it's because we're busy. We're chasing success, we're chasing social media likes, we're chasing comparing ourselves, we're chasing trying to find the perfect balance. And therefore we don't have time to make all of the healthy things. So what do we do. We run through culvers and we get a delicious butterburger and cheese curds,

and that's great, but you can't have that very often. And I think that's one of the things, is we have fast food that's not healthy but delicious more often than we should. My trainer said, try to eat the rainbow and like fruits and vegetables. So eat some orangee melon, eat some oranges, eat some yellow squash, eat some green peas, eat some green beans, eat some blueberries, eat some red radishes and peppers, and try to eat the rainbow instead of just like green broccoli, green broccoli, green

broccoli. And that's so interesting because it's like I've worked with some nutrition and like with my trainer and someone else in the past few years to like get my health on track, and I just was like told, like eat greens a lot with veggies, and then I kind of for a while was told that fruit wasn't so good for you because it has a lot of sugar. Sugar, Yeah, but it's good sugar, right, and it's a good

sugar. But like obviously in moderation, you can't just like consistently eat a ton and ton of fruit, like there is a limit you have to hit because it is sugar. But it was just interesting to learn that, like I should be eating a little bit more variety, but I will just plug it in case you're interested in listening it yourself. Like I said, it's from the Diary of a CEO with Steven Bartlett. Is the podcast and the specific episode it's been out in the last couple of weeks. It's called The

Oo Scientist. If your pooh looks like this, go to a doctor. Your gut health causes belly fat anxiety, and alcohol is destroying your gut microbiome. And I actually haven't heard all of it. I'm only like an hour and a half in and it's two hours long. But yeah, it was interesting, I'll be honest. Science wasn't my strong subject, so certain parts were a little bit hard to follow when you started talking about fatty acids and this and this and that with your intestine, and I was like, ah,

I think I get this, but I don't know. But it's a great episode, very educational about guts. Well, it's interesting to talk about because, like I said, it's something we all can relate to. I've decided to go as long in January without drinking. I haven't had a drink

since New Year's Eve. I had my last drink at about eleven forty five on New Year's Eve, and then I think I told you I had bought a gin and tonic, but I didn't drink it because I would have had to drink it after midnight, and I thought, I don't want to start off twenty twenty four with the first day I drank, So I haven't drank since then. I'm gonna go as long as I can. So yeah,

I haven't drink either. I mean I probably had a couple systems of a drink that I still had in my hand from before midnight on New Year's Eve, so if that counts in, that counts. But I mean I left that concert by like twelve thirty am, so if I had a drink, it was within the first fifteen minutes of the New Year. Well, let's dive into the emails here and get started, and if you have any comments on that, please send an email to Ryan Show at KATWBT dot com today

or yesterday. And wore of the Roses. There was somebody he was apparently cheating with, somebody named Joyce, and so the first comment that his girlfriend had when she caught him was Joyce is she's seventy five years old. So we got an email from Joyce. This is a different Joyce, and Joyce says, hello, my favorite morning show. I just heard Wore the Roses yesterday from where he was cheating with A Joyce. There were so many comments

about her being a seventy five year old woman. Even Jonathan Fogel agreed that Joyce is an old name. Anyway, I've written in a couple of times. I always signed my emails as Joyce, not an old lady, and I'm twenty seven years old, seven year old Joyce. When I introduced to somebody, to myself, to somebody new, they almost always say that's my grandma's name, or that's my great aunt's name. I love having a unique older name. My siblings also have older names, and we were named after

family members. Listen to these names, Margaret, Willard and Edwin. I love that. That's super cool. That is a cool family tradition. I just had to come here to say it was fun to hear my name on the radio and find out there are other joyce is listening to the show around my age. Love you all, signed Joyce, not an old lady. Joyce loved your email. It's funny because older names are coming back. Eva was a name from back in the thirties or forties, and that is my

granddaughter's name. Yeah, Evelyn is definitely a name from way back in the day, and if you would have named you would have never grown up with a girl named Evelyn. But that's my other granddaughter's name. I love both those names. I guess when I hear those names, maybe it's because they be they kind of have made a resurgence that I don't think of either of those names as like an older name from the what'd you say the thirties kind

of I'm guessing twenties, thirties, forty something like that. Yeah. Next one, this is from Rachel in Saint Paul. Hello, my favorite morning show. A few months ago, you had a game day where you brought in listeners each hour to play games. I was so excited to be one. However, when I was playing Think Fast, my favorite game, I blurted out the absolute wrong answer that left me mortified, and I replay that moment in my head all the time. I was wondering if you ever said

something dumb, mortifying on accident that you still think about in embarrassment. I wish that you would remind me, Rachel, of what it was that you said, because I think it's with what we do on think Fast. Yeah, you know, we come up with things like who is the one? Yesterday you were trying to get Drake to say Pamela Anderson. I think Pamela Anderson or it was think fast or no, I don't even know, and he said Pamela Harris. Yeah, I was a mind the gap, I

think question like a trivia question, and he said Pamela Harris. Yeah. I absolutely have blurted out something on accident, and I and like, you know, without thinking about it and left me embarrassed. But I really try, as I've gotten older, to try to think a little bit before I make that joke, and I just think about it a little bit harder because I have and I can't think of anything right now, I know. I just say, I don't have anything that I've like blurted out that I can

think of. But I will never forget the time that you guys called me out for the way that I pronounced dockson because I said dashinged Yah, yeah, docs is dockson. Yeah, you guys did not let me love that one down for a few minutes so embarrassed because truthfully, I did not know, like I knew how you spelled it. I knew that doxon was a word to call aween or dog two, did not know they were the same thing. When I looked at the spelling of it, it spelled weird.

Yeah, it a dash hound, but it's doxon, I guess. Also, I got a photo I made of the notebook for Jenny. When Dave said, write it down Jenny if she would like it, she took a photo of the write it down Jenny notebook. Do you still have the write it down Jenny notebook? Well, I have one from Angela, this consultant we worked with, so I do have that one, but I'm not sure what notebook she's talking. Wow, that's the one. Yes, she knows to taking a picture of it anyway, just need to know where to mail

it or when to drop it off. She's attached a photo of the notebook. So oh that she made Oh she made it. Oh oh oh oh okay, Rachel, I will email you back and give you the address to mail it to us. So let me hit her back right now, Jenny. So you stall for a minute and talk about poop or something. Okay, email, We'll say that the write it down notebook that I got from

our front Angela that we worked with before. I actually am at like the end of it, and it's making me kind of sad because I do all of my like to do listen it or show notes in it or whatever, and so I'm kind of sad that I'm coming to the end of it. Now. I got to invest in a new notebook. And also I decided

because I think, like three months into the new year. Yeah, last year, I was going to become this planner girl where I was going to write everything down in a planner and like always reference that and it was going to give me some peace of mind. I did it for maybe two weeks once I got the planner three months late, and then never looked at it again. So I decided twenty twenty four, I'm not going to purchase a planner this year. Really, yeah, because I was like, I didn't

even use it. I thought it was going to be some great organizational thing for me. I use my phone for like calendar stuff, Like I don't always carry around this planner like it was such a I mean, it was discounted because I bought it like three months in. But I'm like, don't do things just because you see everyone else, like doing their little fun planners and like color coordinating things like that's not you do it efficiently in your phone.

I put I put things in my phone. I just like if I have to, like if I remind like okay, I got to remind Jenny too, whatever, I'll put it in my phone, like in my calendar and then I'll see it. I'm like, oh, I'm gonna have Jenny do this one. Yeah, naxt one doesn't want me to say her name. Hello, Dave. Jenny Drake been a long time listener. I was a child when I first started listening to your show. Moved to Illinois, Michigan, Indian now back to Minneapolis about six years ago. You're my favorite

part of waking up in the morning. You are my friends I never knew I needed. And my brother met you at the State Fair and got a signed wine cup and I've never been more jealous. Okay, that's funny. I was once on the Thursday Throwback Show a few years ago, the girl that loves dancing on couches, tables and chairs and love the Dave Matthews band like Steve O. Anyway, I'm so proud of everybody doing dry January. It sounds like a cool time to get ready for spring breaks. Binge.

I don't do dry any month. I like wine. No shame to people who do dry any month or take a leave of alcohol altogether. That's awesome. Here's my thing. I had an eating disorder for seven years of my life. How weird would it be like? Instead of those who say they are ten years sober, I could be like, I haven't been scared of food for ten years. That is a huge accomplishment. Everybody loves a sober

person. I love a person who has found food a healthy option. Again, So when she says eating disorder, I'm gonna guess she was not one who ate too much but didn't eat enough. Yeah. Then she goes on to say, I love the Barbie movie quote that you played. When I saw that movie, I ugly cried. Anyway, random thought. While everybody's getting sober for a month, I've been eating for ten years, not afraid of my stomach getting fat, my arm's looking large, my legs having cellulite.

I just had hip surgery last Friday, and I was training for a marathon prior. I went from running to netflix and scared of weight gain because I cannot be active for the next few months on crutches. I'm okay, it's part of my journey. I had leftover massed potatoes and meatballs my mom made me before my surgery, and I'm okay, Sorry, it's random. Yes, it's random, but I love it. Long and stupid, she says, it's not long and stupid, but thank you for listening. I

listen, Thanks for reading. Thanks, we're talking about eating disorders. I think that that's still kind of a little bit. I think like with this newer generation, luckily, like we've gotten more body positive, so I'm hoping that the like gen Z and youngers don't deal with like the eating disorders that millennials do. And I'm kind of taking it as she might be a millennial.

But thanks for talking about it, because I don't feel like a lot of people talk about eating disorders anymore or no. And I've known a couple of people who have had eating disorders. There was one girl that worked here and I thought it was interesting because she was very thin and fit, and she was kind of in the fitness industry on the side, and I noticed her breath was always really bad, like really bad, and which was unusual for a young, seemingly healthy woman, and I found out later that she

had is it bolimia where you make yourself throw up? Yeah? And I think she's gotten better. I haven't seen her in many years, but it is one of those things where, I mean people can die from that. Oh yeah, you can have so yeah, I mean there have been I think celebrities and people, I mean obviously lots of people who have died from that. So yeah, it definitely should be something that people should talk about. Uh. She what we got here? Birthday shout out for the Minnesota

Goodbye says you are welcome to say my name. My name is Rose. I am a longtime listener. I could be considered a p one. That is what the industry calls like people who choose us a radio station first. If you are if you choose a radio station first over every other one, you are a pe one to that radio station. I don't know what the

pee or what the one stands for. I don't know. Righting you, because my little sister Andrea Andy, turning six on twenty six on January sixth, I'd love to give her a shout out on the Minnesota Goodbye Well shout out Andrea turn in twenty six. She's my best friend. I hope this shout out makes it to her on her three hour drive to Dork County for her birthday weekend. Ah. That is cool. Because Andy and I share a Spotify account. She started listening to some of my podcasts, one of

them being The Minnesota Goodbye. Her listening to that snowball into her listening to your entire show. It also got The Minnesota Goodbye to be the most listened to podcast on my Spotify. I wrapped because every episode is listened to at least twice, once by her, once by her sister. We live four hours apart now, but when we get together, we bring up the different gossip games and stories you tell on your show, and I look forward to

hearing what she thinks about the different topics and points of view. I love that when people talk about the show with somebody else. I love it when somebody says, yeah. Every day after War of the Roses, I call my sister and we talk about War of the Roses. Or when I heard Jenny do this, I had to call my sister and say, oh my god, did you hear that. I love that. On the topic of birthdays, says Rose. Is there anyone birthday or birthday weekend that sticks out

the most to you? And why I'll start. One of my most memorable birthdays was when the majority of my siblings, six, my boyfriend, and I rented a cabin in the Dells for two nights. The hotel that it was part of had a fancy restaurant and even asauna. We went to a winery and naturally bar hop Saturday into Saturday night. By the end of the night, my boyfriend worked hard to hurt all of us, all drunkie poos back together. Everybody made it home safe and we all had a blast.

My boyfriend also wanted me to add that my older sister threw a bag of orange juice at his head. Okay, I thought I mentioned that. Put the cherry on top of our fun weekend. I'm glad there was no tragedy or missteps in there, because I was waiting for it to get dark or

bad. It just sounds like a great weekend. Yeah. I'm not sure if this would count to receive a staff Wrider sticker, but I will send, and maybe even one for Andy. I'll send a couple, no problem, but I figure The worst thing is you can say is no, thanks for all you do. I have you guys as part of my morning commute and work routine, and your random topics help get me through the day. We are really fucking random sometimes, ros because we talked about everything from Jenny's

scarves to how you arrange your tupperware. Earlier this week because I had an epiphany and we stopped putting our tupperware on the under the cabinet where you have to get down and kneel to find the lid for this one, and we put it at eye level and it's a game changer. So now we open up the cabinet and there's the tupperware right there at eye level. Random. Absolutely. Do you have any birthday or birthday weekend that sticks out the most

to you? I would say that my burning Man birthday party sticks out a lot. That was just a couple of years ago from my thirtieth Yep, just a big party that we threw. It was more exhausting than honestly fun when I think about it, because we put a lot of work into it, and you don't really want to do that on your birthday. So after that party, I decided no more big like hurrahs, I'm good I did

it. But I would also say I think my freshman year of high school, I was dating someone and I didn't honestly really like him very much. I was like basically dating in because all my friends were dating his friends.

And they threw me a surprise party, and of course they like threw me into like one of the bedrooms and was like, oh, here's your time so you can make up with your boyfriend, and I was like, I don't want to really though, Like I was like a freshman, and I just I don't like surprises, and I had Okay, I know this sounds like ridiculous because I should be happy that my friends care about me this much,

but I had three surprise birthday parties in a row. I think, like my freshman, sophomore, and junior year in high school, my friends threw me a surprise party every year, and I don't like surprises. I like to know what's going on. I feel like that sounds so like you, and I know I have to have control. I'm trying to be better at that. So I would say those surprise parties always like they stick in

my mind still to this day. I would say, you know what, I'll be honest with you, there's not one particular birthday that was like just incredible, but little birthday moments. For example, when I was probably I don't know, Alison was little and she was probably four or five, and Susan got me a big garbage bag fold of something and it was stuff with

Stuyrisfolm popcorn, but there was something in it. And Susan was very excited to give me this mystery present, which was a garbage bag full of popcorn with something in it. I sit down on the couch to open it, and Allison says, we got you a phone. So she got a mobile phone and it blew the surprise. But Alison was so stink and cute she

could not hold her excitement and she told me what it was. And we're like, Allison, but as far as I had a surprise birthday for my fortieth birthday and it was great, it was I totally totally got suckered into it. Did not see it coming at all, and I look back and I'm like, how stupid. It was really cool to open up the door of this bar down in Chaska and open up the door to this back room and look at all these people and go, why are you here? Why are you? Why are you here? Why are you on? Then I

realized it was a surprise party for me. Yeah, and that was pretty cool. Hey, good stuff. Here's one more from Alex. Now. Alex wrote yesterday, and Alex wrote that today's podcast, meaning yesterday's podcast, was cut off at around ten minutes. I saw the description of the podcast. There was ideas for starting a business, and I was interested in hearing

about and blah blah blah. So I started to listen to it and it cut off after ten minutes, and so we went back and we fixed it, and so they wrote back today, I see the podcast was reloaded. Thank you so much for taking the time to do that. Really appreciate that. No, thank you Alex for letting us know what was the problem with the podcast yesterday. Honestly, I think what had happened is it's behind the same stuff. You hadn't exported it. So I came in and exported it

myself, and then I went into another studio and uploaded it. And I don't think it was done exporting on your computer yet when I uploaded it in a different studio. So I think I had only gotten to like the ten minute mark when I like went in and uploaded it right away, So I think that's what happened. So yeah, yeah, technical boring stuff. Anyway, if there is a problem with the podcast, or if there is,

please let me know. And I will tell you this that sometimes we get one email or a text or whatever that says, hey, the podcast isn't working or it's not uploaded, and usually that just means you got to close the app and open it up again again. But if we get more than one, then we're like, oh, we screwed up something. So let us know. Because seriously, we love that you listen to the podcast. I've said accountless times we want you to have a good experience to listen to

the podcast. And thank you for contributing, thank you for emailing, and thank you mostly for listening to the Minnesota Goodbye. If you want to be on next week for anything, Naughty Tuesday is coming up next week. If you want to be on Naughty Tuesday you got a salacious, disgusting story to tell, Naughty Tuesday is next week, but anything you want to write about. You are the heart of this podcast with your emails and that's why we

send you this staff writer stickers. If you get your email read on the podcast, have a great weekend. We'll see you next week.
