Ignorance is Bliss

Jenny's back on the Minnesota Goodbye Yesterday. Was no fun to do the Minnesota Goodbye without another person here, and I talked about how, you know what, we want to make it longer, but it wasn't as much fun to do it by myself. So thanks for listening to Minnesota Goodbye yesterday and we got Jenny back. Yay. Jenny's byees Mac. Let's get started with some

emails. This one starts off with Jenny in the Morning Zoo. Now, I will say I have not pre read these, so if I get into one that is redundant about the changes on the show or tipping or whatever, I probably will just like you know, fast forward through it. Jenny in the Morning Zoo. I'm sure you're sick of talking about the current changes happening with your show, but this is a different perspective. My eight year old child listens in the mornings with me and talks about you all often. He

likes to ask who my favorite is. The other day he said, what are you going to do when Dave leaves? Now I'm a parent, so I didn't react like I wanted to. I composed myself and told him how this show has been a routine in my life. It's part of me, and I really don't know what I'll look forward to in the morning without it. What I wanted to say was scream, we don't want to hear it. Kid, ignorance is bliss. Don't ever leave us haha. Whitney aka

Alicia's bestie aka staff writer, thank you for everything. So I'm going to take a picture of this one. I send out staff writer stickers the other day, but I might have missed a few. So if you ever send in a letter, we read it and you don't get your sticker after a month, let me know. Okay. Next one is from our buddy Mike. Good morning radio friends. Yes, I consider you all friends, even though we haven't met Vaughan in person. Maybe fellow staff writers could email responses

on this one. I'm not judging. I want to learn and grow baby daddy bingo. What is it about these guys that makes a woman want to have sex with them? Then when they do? How is protection not used? Help me learn? Thank you? I've been listening since the beginning. I'm over fifty five. I qualified for the senior discount staff writer in BFF

MIC. I asked the same thing to Jenny. This morning, we did baby Daddy bingo where women called and said, yeah, my baby daddy wasn't there during delivery because he was either drunk or on drugs with another woman, or incarcerated or whatever. And there was a woman who called in she said, the first baby daddy was drunk, then the same guy was incarcerated when she had her next baby. And I looked at Jenny off the air afterward, and I said, why would somebody have sex with choose to be with

a guy that's such a piece of shit? And Jenny had an answer. I just think that a lot of people look for validation from others, and unfortunately, there's a lot of women who look for validation in men, and when they're only getting it from this one person who happens to also be a piece of shit, like this guy we were just talking about, who was drunk then in jail. I think that that's what keeps them going back to them, because for some reason they feel listening for validation, and whether that

comes from some kind of childhood trauma or whatever it might be. I was just thinking like a similar question over the weekend, because I was with someone whose sister ended up meeting up with us, and I she drove me insane because she talked about this like toxic X of hers and how she kept going back to him and this and this and that, and I just sat there and I'm like, why what are you doing? Just leave this douchebag? Like I couldn't comprehend it. And so I was thinking the same question,

like why do these women go back? And I think it's because and it's not just women. I know men probably do it to like toxic women as well, or maybe you're in a homosexual relationship, it doesn't matter. But I just think that sometimes you need this validation and if you can only get it from a piece of shit human, you'll keep going back to them.

Would it be fair to say that if you have very low self esteem, either for something that happened in your child childhood, or maybe you are I don't want to put it out there, but there might be somebody who thinks I'm not attractive enough to get somebody who is a good guy. I've never had a date, I've never had anybody want to have sex with me, So I might pick the first motherfucker that comes along that wants to give me

the dick, I'm trying to be funny and gravitate towards this guy. So is it possible that somebody might have such low self esteem that they will go out with a guy who's a convict, abuse er, drunk, gambling addict, whatever, and say this is the best I can get. I better take it. Yes, I do believe that is, But then why are they doing it. It's for some kind of validation, I think, is

what it comes down to. Okay, that's what But I agree that I think it does have to do with low self esteem because I think when you are more confident in yourself, you don't need someone else around to make you feel better about yourself. True, And I think whether it's your attractive or you've had like parents who raised you to think that you're pretty fucking cool, or whether you had parents that I feel bad for people with bad parents.

And I've known so many people with bad parents, and I had such good parents. They were not always great, but for the most part they were pretty good. They were loving and instructive and guiding and supportive and all that. But I think that if you had bad parents that raise you telling you you're worthless, you're stupid, you're fat, you're ugly. Then by the time you're eighteen, you're convinced that you're all of those things and you go

up with a guy who's a convict or he's an alcoholic or whatever. So we're going to talk about that more on the show because I think it's really interesting. Yeah, thank you, Mike. Next one is an ad about entrepreneurialship because we still get spam just like you. Is it anything worth letting us know about that? I already deleted it, Jenny, I already deleted it. Hello Morning Show crew, Dave, Bailey, Jenny, and Vaunt. She calls them Vaughn, but it's VNT, so we'll have to clarify

that if he gets the job on the show. I'm a few days late, but I always mentally email you guys. I think forty thirty to forty five minutes of the Minnesota Goodbye is wonderful. I don't want to overwork you, but I thoroughly enjoy the Minnesota Goodbye. I think it's really interesting why people enjoy the Minnesota Goodbye so much, because it's basically just you and me chatting and reading emails, and I think that's I really enjoy The Minnesota Goodbye.

Sometimes I enjoy it more than the Morning Show because on the Morning Show, I know what's going to happen. Yeah. Sometimes I mean, if a woman calls up and says, you wouldn't believe what happened, I don't know what's going to happen. Yeah, But on the Minnesota Goodbye, it's such a mixed bag of emails that are all about different stuff. Yeah. So it's just as fun for us and we don't have to prepare anything. That's the best part that is true. Mostly it is one of my favorite

podcasts. And she goes on to say just what we said because it's all you all, and it's unedited. You swear you're your real self and you're not worried about being on time. I love the Minnesota Goodbye. Thank You. I really appreciate it, and that makes sense. PS. I was not the radio this morning for the first time ever voting for Jenny. Thank you all for doing what you do and always making my day. They said I called for the first time ever this morning and voted for me. Maybe

on winning Song Thursday or something. Yep, they said, I bet they were trying to say I was on the radio. Oh gotcha pps no boo bash this year? Hashtag Bailey's birthday bash. The girl deserves one hell of a party, Brittany, do you know what I'm talking about? Bailey has never in her life had a birthday party. When she was a little girl

turned eight years old, six years old. They didn't go to sky Zone, they didn't go play mini golf, they didn't go to Moose Mountain Golf, they didn't go to Camp Snooping nick Universe Valley never had a birthday party. On her thirtieth birthday party, it was a little bit postpost pandemic, but she invited fifteen people to a brewery. Bailey likes breweries. Four people showed up, including her sister and her sister's friend who didn't even know Bailey.

So Bailey had two friends and her sisters show up and a stranger. And I kind of my heart broke for Bailey because it's like, oh, we didn't have any money when I was a kid, but we would go to a place called the Soda Straw where they had hamburgers and ice cream and arcade games and ski ball, or we'd go get a pizza, or I'd have my friends come over and my mom would make a homemade cake. Did you have birthday parties? Yeah, it was usually like a big sleepover with

girlfriends is what we did growing up. So I'd have like six to ten girlfriends or something over for a sleepover. We never my mom never rented out of space. We didn't have money to do stuff like that. But she'd have us over and she'd cook us dinner and we'd have cake and stuff like that. So yeah, but I never had like a big one. But I did have a couple surprise parties planned for me in high school as well, which I hated with all of my heart. I hate surprises. I

need to be in troll at all times days. She's kind of a control freak. Yeah, no, it's not that I hate surprises. It just was weird. It was high school. It was a bunch of it was my friend inviting people I'm barely even friends with because she wanted them there for

herself. That was like one of them. And the other one was I was dating a guy at the time that I didn't actually really like, and then I was kind of for I was in a forest, let me rephrase that, but he like took me into a room to make out with me. And I didn't really like him anyway, so I didn't really want to make out with him. I get it. You weren't forced, but he led you. No, it was more my friends putting the pressure, like it's your birthday, you should go make out with your boyfriend. So it

wasn't him at all. And I likes kissed him for half a second and that was the end of it, and I was like, Okay, let's go back to the party. That's funny. I Bailey said that she'd never had a birthday party, and I said, when's your birthday? She like, September twenty third. I said, if you are still here, we're still friends, We're gonna have a fucking huge Bailey's birthday party. Yeah, And I think that's kind of a funny idea. So, you know what,

we'll see what the future holds. I could be dead by then, Jenny's okay, if I were bad, Jenny, if I were to die, do you think the station would like, you know, like you know, have like a minute of silence for me, or they'd have like a Dave Bryan that air is not good, That air is not good for the

company, so I would say, maybe not a minute of silence. I think that they would definitely throw you what would be like the biggest funeral you've ever seen, because they would get so many clients that sponsor it that they make money off of it. So I'd say, white Bear Mitsubishi on the side of my coffin exactly, and like you would think, obviously you're dead, so you don't understand this is happening, but you would think, like, oh my god, the company really cares because they threw it together,

this huge funeral. But really it's because they they brought in a lot of money from it. So if the station could make money off my funeral, they would do it. Yeah, yeah, next email, All right, here we go this one. I don't think we've read it, but let's see. We've gotten a lot of emails from people sitting on airplanes lately, and I think because we are a big airplane podcast target. In other words, you're on an airplane, you download our podcast, and then you can

listen to it on the airplane. Did you know. I like, downloads are really kind of not even a thing anymore because you stream. In other words, you get on the airplane, you buy the Wi Fi and you stream. Oh, I okay for WiFi? Are you kidding? I download the podcast before I go on. Yeah, I still do that, so does Andrew. Uh. I think you're right about that. One airplane wi

Fi sucks. It does balls. It's the worst. How can they get away when you go I'll pick on whatever airline, Delta Southwest, probably United Frontier. I don't give a shit. Every airline's Wi Fi sucks, dick. It just sucks, dick. Because you get on it's like, okay. A lot of the time it'll say no Wi Fi is available. It just doesn't work that flight. Sometimes it'll be available but you can't quite connect to it. That's probably one quarter of the time. Another quarter of the

time. The next quarter of the time is you connect to it, but it's slow as shit and you can't get your Facebook to refresh. Yeah. And then or you have to like reconnect twenty minutes later because it stopped working. Yeah, and it's like nine ninety nine for the flight, and you don't bother to get a refund because it's nine ninety nine. It's not worth the truck. Right. One quarter of the time it works and you're like, oh shit, I'm streaming, I'm playing my games, I'm looking at

Facebook, I'm looking at Instagram, I'm watching reels. So one quarter of the time it's broken, broken down, one quarter of the time you can't get on it, one quarter of the time it's shit, and one quarter of the time it works. Yeah. I've only paid for Wi Fi one time, and it was because the Game of Thrones series finale happened while I was on a trip and I wanted to know what happened on that airplane ride back to Minneapolis, and I paid for Wi Fi. I think it was

twenty five bucks. Ever fucking worked. It never worked, and all I want sit on the plane the three and a half hour trip back to the MSB watched the series finale and it did not work. And you're right, you're not gonna go and deal with like the complaint of like give me my twenty five dollars back, Like that's gonna be so much more effort effort than

the money is worse. And I think they know that. I wish somebody would file a class action lawsuit that if you something like you get everybody gets back, you know, thirty eight dollars or whatever against United against frontier or whoever because it sucks, or at the end of the flight, they can say, how is your WiFi experience? And if you can, if you say it's no good, then you get it for free. I bet everybody would lie. Okay, we're gonna do one, and then we're probably we're

gonna have to take a break in a second. Jenny, Yes, okay, So we're gonna take a break here that you won't even know. It'll be seamless because I will stop the recording and then I'll start it again. It'd be kind of like if you got put to sleep for surgery. You might be out for fifteen minutes or an hour, but you only feel like it lasted a second. So here comes the break right now that you won't even notice. All right, look at that. See it's like you were

out and you don't even notice that we took a break in there. So let me open up the email again and we'll continue. So I'm on a flight, figured i'd send some content to discuss from Kirsten. Is it just me or has movie theater etiquette been out of control lately? I go to the movies a lot, like six times a month, and starting in twenty

twenty four. Almost all my movie going experiences have been terrible. I mean people talking loudly during the movie, using cell phones, throwing popcorn around, not cleaning up after themselves, and most egregiously, I had to get somebody who worked at the theater because they were two separate groups of teenagers that were being awful. One group of teenagers were filming tiktoks with a ring light, scrolling through their tiktoks on full volume, flashing their flashlights around the theater,

and talking like they were at home. The other two teenagers eventually started hooking up all the way in the theater, which is why I ended up getting a theater employee. The employee chastise them and then the couple stopped, but the other group was mad that I ratted them out, so they doubled down on being annoying. This was seven pm on a Sunday, not that any time would be acceptable anyway. Am I just seeing this behavior because I go to the movies so much? Or is it really gotten out of control?

Love y'all, and I'll be listening to you on my vacation in Brussels right from kJ. I've not experienced that, but I will tell you ten years ago, twelve years ago, when Chrisco worked on the show, He's like, Dude, I can't go to the movies anymore because everybody's an asshole and they're loud, and I'm like, what shit part of town do you go to? Like if you go to the movies in a shit part of town, and I'm gonna just like, for example, say glen Coe, people

there don't have the best home life, the best parents. Is Is it possible they've never learned or they talking about somebody who goes to Eden Prairie or e Dinah Southdale where the kids are so spoiled that they think they can do whatever they want in the movie theater. Personally, I've not had any consistent bad behavior ever in a movie theater. Isolated here and there, but never consistently. I'm not a good person to ask because I rarely go to the

movies. I go to like premieres of ones that I really really want to see. But I just said no to one that FOUND invited me to the other day because I'm just not a movie theater person. Yeah, it's just not my thing. But I when I have gone, it's been nothing but respectful people. Maybe someone kind of talking during a moment in the movie that they didn't understand and that's kind of annoying, where they're like, hey, what just happened or something you overhear that, But outside of that, nothing

like that person described. I you know what I want to know, Tell me whether you're experiencing this, because this could be a good topic to build on a little bit. So thank you, Kirsten. Let us know if there's something that you notice, whether you when you go to the movies, the behavior the kid with a ring light making a TikTok. Yeah, I'd be pissed too, and I would have a hard time not saying anything.

But if I was out numbered, I'd be a little bit worried, like, oh, they're gonna make the movie miserable for me, and I'm curious. She obviously doesn't say this. Was it during the actual movie or was like before where they're like, let's make a TikTok and do whatever? But still like, who carries a ring light in with them to the movie theater. That's a really good point. I don't like it when people are like during the trailers and the previews, if they're being, but if they shut

up during the actual movie, I don't care. I remember ten years ago, and I tell you something that I still feel bad about to this day, even though it was about ten years ago. Carson and I would go to Colorado every summer. We go whitewater rafting, play mini golf, go to the arcade, go hiking, and we'd go see a movie. So we'd go see whatever Disney movie or whatever that you want to go see.

Sitting there waiting for the movie to start, and you're doing the trailer and they're playing the preview, and there was a couple behind us, one row and to my left, and they were a young couple, probably twenty years old. And I'm talking, you know about like this loud or whatever during the trailers, and I was just steaming. I was like getting more and more mad. And I turned around. I said, are you two going to talk through the entire movie? And the guy paused and he sheepishly said

no, And I said good. And I know it embarrassed Carson, But what I felt really bad about is they weren't doing anything wrong. They were just talking during the trailer, and I probably embarrassed both of them. They probably the rest of the movie felt stupid, and I felt stupid, So I don't know. It's just always kind of stuck with me. And I thought, here's a cute little couple. What if they were on their first date and some mean old fuck in front of them embarrassed both of them by

calling them out for talking during the prayer the trailer. I bet you that they got married and you were brought up in their wedding speech, like our first date. We were out to the movies and this man just yell at us, and then they bonded over it because they talked shit about you, and then they got love. So maybe maybe look at it this way. You sparked a romance that maybe wouldn't have happened had you not said something to that A Jenny go, I love it all right, thank you. Let's

try this one. Hello. I want to send a picture of where I got my staff rider sticker. I put it on my phone case with that back still on so I can move it around. I just want to say, these stories of no one showing up to parties literally made me cry. I just can't imagine. I always wanted somebody to throw me a surprise party.

I'm forty. I don't think it'll ever happen, right from Stacy if you're confused about the al right, that comes from the old Country buffet training video made in the nineties where the chef is carving meat and he's hitting. Then somebody's I want mine a little bit thicker, and he goes, oh, right, stupid. I know it is sad. Bailey told the story that you didn't hear. I don't think. When Bailey was about sixth grade, she went to a girl's birthday party and the mom and dad and the

girl had treats and snacks and activities and games. Bailey was the only one that showed up. Can you imagine a little sixth grade girl, Bailey shows up and they tried to have fun, but Bailey got sick and needed to call her mom to come pick her up. Yeah, so the little girl was going to have a sleepover birthday party with fifteen people and nobody was there. Oh it's fucking sad. I just picture all the treats and the pizza and the doughnuts and mom bought breakfast for the next morning, and oh,

it's just heartbreaking. Bailey still knows this girl and her name is Mollie. Oh, I want to get Molly on the show. Hold on one second, note to yourself. Yeah, good Molly on the show. That's so sad because I think about like when we would plan birthday parties, usually you knew who was in attendance before the party happened. True, So did people also like say they were going to come and then they didn't show? Well, if they did, that's terrible, terrible. Uh okay, let's see.

They say, don't read this on the podcast, just giving us some feedback, but I'm going to read it anyway. Why not. The subject line is Bailey is great. I know you've been getting a lot of niggat negativity thrown your way with all the changes from the Morning Show, So I just wanted to send some positivity. We have been getting some and I don't think that people realize, like some of it's out of our control, some of it needed to happen. When change happens, it's either out of our

control or it needed to happen. First off, I can absolutely understand the change with Drake, and they talk a little bit about that. Bailey truly shines in this regard. She reminds me of a mix between Fallon and Lena, and I also want to say I love Jenny. She is undoubtedly talented, especially as a producer, but the additional stress post Fallon's departure is obvious. Looking forward to seeing how y'all roll with the changes, because you always

do. That's our plan, roll with the changes, but Jenny is more stressed. And I think one of the reasons that Jenny was stressed is she didn't have a good support system. And one of the things we want is to get Jenny more support because I'm not going to help you. Yeah, I'm not going to do anything you want me to do anything. Fuck you, Jenny? Oh jeez, what, No, I'm kidding, fuck you Jenny, Right, Okay, it's just fun to say it because it's so

out of context that there's no reason for it. Dave and the Gang. For the life of me, I cannot think of something to do for my husband's fiftieth birthday in May. I refuse to do a surprise party or have anything at our house for various reasons, and we can't travel right now. His dad passed away in January, so I want this to be extra special. I was thinking of taking him out to a really nice restaurant just the

two of us. But I need help with suggestions, plus any suggestions for a friend gathering as well his interest for cars, music, food, cooking, and sports. Thanks for the help, Sarah, I'm not gonna be much help. I don't have much for you. I mean, it's his fiftieth birthday and he doesn't want a surprise or anything at the house friend gathering. I really have no idea. I don't know whether he would want to go out to a concert or a bar that's got a band, or take

a cooking class. I really have nothing. I don't have much in that regard. If you want some restaurant recommendations for nicer places, A handful that I like. Our Macanda in Wyzetta, There's Mister Paul Supper Club in a Dinah, Kalita, Martina are all in that same area as well. One of my favorite restaurants is San Jusan in Minneapolis. But outside of that, I don't have any help with activities. I guess yeah. I was going to say like a little vacation in Vegas or something. They said they can't

travel right now and Vegas isn't for everyone. So here's another ask. Sarah. I wish we could help you more, but I will say if you got any ideas for Sarah and her husband turning fifty in May. No surprise party, nothing at their house. They like cars, music, food, cooking, and sports. It is going to be in May. So you know what may be very expensive tickets to the Twins game where you go up in the Twins' Legends club and then you get the free food and that's fun.

We've done that a couple of times. So maybe that's something that you can do, the Twins Legends club. Because he likes sports. I've got nothing else. What have you got? If you've got any ideas, send him into Ryan Show at ca ADWB dot com. That's the podcast let us know about movie theater etiquette and ideas for the birthday. Ryan Show at KDWB dot com
