Transcript

It's the Minnesota goodbye. You know how you're always like there's a ghost in the room when I do my weird thing? Have you taken the other ghost? You ever taken over my ghost role? Yes? It was pretty good. It was a little light. It was a little too light, a little I think tete sounding from what I've watched from movies. It takes a lot of energy for a ghost to show itself, so I don't think their voices as boisterous as you might think. All right, what do you have

for emails? I'm straight god, Okay, this is funny for Jenny. Hey, favorite morning show crew. I have a real quick question for Fallon and Jenny. While Davis out, Jenny often refers to her friends as her girlfriends. The only other person who I know that does this is by grandma, who lives in western Minnesota. Is this a Minnesota phrase? Do others who are talking about their friends who are girls call them girlfriend for reference?

I live in Arizona. I love listening to Jenny because her northern accent reminds me of my Minnesota family. Thanks for all you do, Sierra. I'd never noticed that, but when she said it, I'm like, Jenny does say my girlfriend Una. Yeah, yeah, my girlfriend Luna. We did this. Yeah, I'm a Minnesota thing or will your Wisconsin, but still close enough. I guess I've never realized that. I don't know if I

feel like I want to specify the gender when I'm talking about someone. So I say my friend, so I'll be like all my girlfriends and I went and got brunch. Yeah, I don't know. I know why I do that, because I know I use friends also, but I do use girlfriend all the time. It's mostly girlfriends for you, and I don't because I'm like thinking about it, and I'll say my friend Harry or my friend, or I'll say my college roommates Heidi and Abby. I don't say my girlfriends.

And another one that you do, Jenny, that is funny. That is not funny. But I did not know your sister's names for like five years because Jenny would never say, like my sister Rachel. She would say my big sister or my little sister. And I did it today too, talking about my older sister. And at one point I realize, I'm like, and I still don't know. Drake said it's so bad. He's told me multiple times it's because he doesn't talk about him enough, I don't think.

But like for me, I'll just say my sister Kara or Lane. But that's I never noticed the girlfriend thing. Maybe, I guess maybe because you're the youngest, it's a little different because I feel like I'm always trying to like clarify because they're they have very different lives. So like when I'm talking about one or the other, I feel like I'm like very much clarifying

their age. I don't know more so than any possible but yeah, I know I forever You told me that if we ever did like some trivia on the show and I was like, what are my sister's names, you'd screw it. It's like big sister or a little sister. Don't I love it? Okay, it's the same with it. People give me so much shit because I say inkpen. But people in Indiana do not claim me. They say that, they do not say ink pin that I am a freaking weirdo.

You do say when I go to the grocery inside the grocery store, is I think Indiana thing? Yeah? And then vehicle yeah, And that's a regional thing for sure. Absolutely, because Dave will it like that's on the vehicle. One is Davis brought it up for years, and now I'm pretty good at saying it right, but it bothered me for so long because when you, like, I'd never been told that was wrong. Yeah, well it's not wrong, it's just different than how we say it in the

middle. Would bother me so much when he would point it out, and I'm like, anyway, But then I started noticing if I listened to a podcast with someone from like my region, or I talked to a friend, they absolutely say it. I think the first time we ever like kind of

started pointing that out with you. I had just started listening to a podcast and she is originally from Indiana, and so she had said it, and so I text you how to go It must be such an Indiana thing because she had said it, And then she got so many dms on Instagram that she brought it to everyone's attention. She goes, I get it that I She's like, I've never known that. I say vehicle, Now I don't know which way to say it. Vehicle is kind of how you would say

to a vehicle. And so she brought it to everyone's knowledge that she didn't know that it was any different than the way other people say it. But she got called up by so many people like I'm sorry, how do you pronounce that word? One of the top ones from my region that I had to work on in Indiana while on radio was how we say eel words. We pronounced them like I LLL. So if I'm like, oh, that's made of steel instead of that's made of steel, oh, I would say,

oh, my car's wheels instead of my car wheels. Okay, that is a very big one where I'm from, and I never would have known that I was saying it weird. And I had a program doctor who was from like Kansas. She's like, dude, that's not how you say it. You got to fix that for on the air. I'm like, oh good, no, okay. So that one and she even brought she was actually visited randomly a month or so ago. She was in town. She's like, me and my husband are driving through. Can we stop and see

you? I was like sure. She's like, I want something Minnesota. So I took her to get Juicy Lucy's and we were just talking about like old radio stuff. She's like, remember when you had to fix those words. I'm like, yes, I'll ever forget. Next email, first time emailer, a longtime listener. I remember getting ready for school in middle school and listening to Dave and Corey Foley. So two say, Okay, I hope these aren't for Dave. Then if they are, I'll save them for

him. Two separate subjects. First, I know someone emailed about pelvic floor physical therapy and I wanted away, and I did pelvic floor physical therapy after my first and second baby. It is life changing. I can now sneeze or cough and be confident that I'm not going to leak. It's not simply just key goals like many think. Your therapist will evaluate your strength and how well you can relax. That was my issue. So it was so worth

it, and I even got my sister to get started. It's one of those things I've said forever I need to do, and I haven't done it yet, and I really need to. Second, what are some random intrusive thoughts you have, whole girl? For example, my intrusive thought is when I'm drinking wine with a nice wine glass, I have a thought to bite that glass. Obviously, I have never done it. My coworkers in trusive is wondering what it's like to punt a bird like a pigeon. Oh my

goodness, listen to you all. Thanks for reading my email, Jenny, what are you your intrusive that I my main one is because of my fear of heights. I think about like just like jumping off the side of a bridge or something like. There's like this weird fear and it has a name to it. That specific fear has like this like intruessive thought has a name to it. But when I first started to ever feel that way, your girl thought she was a little crazy. I was like, what's wrong with

me? And then I realized it's like an actual thing a lot of people have. But that's like an intrusive thought. I don't know. I think recently, when I've been like kind of stressed, I've thought about I wanted to check my phone across the room, But it was specifically my phone that was making me angry, So that's not really an intrusive thought. That was like taking it out on something that's making me angry because my phone was being a little bitch. But I don't know. If I can't think of I

will Nope, I'm not gonna say this one. There are some weird ones, yeah that I would not here too. I will say that my intrusive thoughts have gotten stronger since having a kid. Yeah, and it's weird. It'll be like I'm driving with her drive into like an oncoming car kind of thing. It's so weird to talk about it because it's not and intrusive thought does not signify like something that actually want to do and something you want to

do where you're down or something. It's like it'll crush im, like almost like oh my god, what if that happened. There have been moments on the radio where I thought like what if I just swear right now? Yeah, they're having moments like that that I've had, and obviously I never would and I am. But then I sit and I think like why did that even come to my brain? Just like why did why did that come to

my brain? I have no idea. It's very odd. I'll have intrusive thoughts about Jake, but that's almost like a playout of scenario almost like what if I found out he was living a double life? Yeah, I don't know, it's like a weird thing. I don't know if that's actually considered intrusive thought. I always think of like reckless things, like when you drive over a bridge. What if I just drove off. Yep, that's an

intrusive thought. So that's a good question. Laura, Deep and Dark also send me email me your pelvic floor person if they live on the western side. I'm not going to drive out in the middle of nowhere, probably because I'm too lazy, and by middle of nowhere, I live in the middle of nowhere. I'm saying the opposite side of the middle of nowhere, Okay. I'm reaching out in hopes that listeners can help. My twenty three year old daughter just took a teaching job in Austin, Texas. She has to

be there by September fifth. I am hoping, let's see how this goes. I'm hoping there may be someone who listens and knows the Austin area and can recommend places to live that are safe and affordable. I know those often don't go hand in hand, but we know nothing about Austin and really would take any advice people can give. I also know this is so specific, so if someone writes in, please feel free to just forward me the email. To forward the email to me rather than read it on error even pass

along my email to them. Whatever makes it easy for you, thinks so much. I enjoy you all so much and felt this would be a great place to add as Molly. If we get these in the next day or two, well, I'll mention him on the podcast of mind next one. Hey, ladies, wanted to say you two and Drake are rocking it with Dave gone. It's always a little weird listening when any of you are gone, but the show's so great. Fallon. You gave me the push to

book a one night in Vegas trip after you and Jake went. I've been thinking about it, but who wants to fly twice in two days? But then you went and I thought, what the hell? So tomorrow I'm surprising my ten year old with a one night trip to Vegas to see his favorite band, Maroon five. I also have a four and three year old, so the ten year old doesn't get as much from our mom and dad time because the other two require more attention from us, so this will be a

nice break for him. They gave me chills. That's so fun, and his brothers that are constantly annoying him as weird as it may sound. Thank you have a great rest of the week. Shay, Shay, you are at ten years old, you are making such a memory that is first of all, so cool that you can afford to do and to see one of

his favorite bands. And I'm guessing if Maroon five's in Vegas, I'm guessing they're at one of the casinos, and all of the casino venues are smaller, and so every seat in that venue is good, and so it'll feel kind of intimate. And also I bet as a ten year old, seeing all of the like shiny, sparkly lit up things like will be cool. And then all the casinos have pools, you'll have enough time to get some

fun food, go to the pool. I don't go to the arcade in a pool, because I'm are at the casino or something with them, and it'll be so fun. Good for you. I'm glad that that inspired you. Okay, this one next text, it says Drake needs to learn to zippermerge David, don't even make everyone snap lol. That's from Naomi. Wanted to get that in there. Says please read this before and that's what the topic is. So I'm curious what this is maybe they don't want this on.

I don't know. Here we go. I'm a mother of two daughters who I have raised to love everyone, and they do. Yesterday, my nineteen year old daughter made a joke in front of my brother in law that was inappropriate as a reference. He is gay, love this community, and so does my nineteen year old. I know she didn't mean any harm. She is nineteen, and we are always learning how to speak, what to say, what not to say. I immediately shut it down, and she

had no clue she'd even said something that was inappropriate. The room became quiet, and I was so frustrated with her since she is nineteen. I then became embarrassed for myself. It's okay to let her learn how she speaks her mind. She was immediately sorry, but in today's culture, I don't want her to mix her words. She is one hundred percent supportive of her uncle. My thoughts when is it appropriate? When is it appropriate and inappropriate to

let my young adult daughters learn on their own. Can I be more supportive and not jump when I hear something she actually doesn't agree with? But her mouth got the best of her, and I assure you it was in a statement that made her uncle chrais and just maybe hurt his feelings. As I try to raise strong daughters, can I let them fail at times and still stand from my beliefs, Especially on this topic, I would say yes, they are probably going to fail because you're not the only person in their life

influencing the way that they might speak about something. So they might hear something that they don't fully understand is offensive. But at nineteen, you get a pass for saying things that you don't fully mean or like believe because you don't know any better. Sometimes, but I think it is important to correct them.

And even if it is in front of other people. I think that that might embarrass that your daughter in the moment, but I think it is a really big lesson for her in that moment to learn because I mean we worked so for example, I worked on the Timberwolves action pack, and there was someone on there who at the action packs like this interactive squad, and there was someone on the squad that did a summer camp that he worked with

all these mentally challenged people and one person and use the R word to describe someone or not to describe someone. Sorry, they just use the R word in general, okay, not to describe someone that is mentally challenged. They just used it, and the person who works at that camp goes, we

don't use that word. That's inappropriate, called them out right away. The person heard understood the situation, probably was embarrassed in the moment, but I felt like it was necessary because I agreed with my friend who works at that camp. I completely agreed. So I think sometimes it's a tough lesson for people and your kids specifically that you're talking about, but I do kind of think it's necessary. I agree. I think it would be hard for Okay,

two things hard to let your kids fail really hard. Number two hard for me. I would immediately snap because would feel immediate embarrassment because I know it's wrong, right, So I would do that too, So in that situation, I probably wouldn't the exact same thing as you. And also questions should I have waited until the uncle left told my daughter, Hey, you did this, It was inappropriate, baby. You should apologize to your uncle. Better to learn it though, in front of family than in front of

strangers. So I think you probably did the right thing. When you get called out in front of people, it is embarrassing and you remember it very well. Yeah, so I think you did the best you could do. I think it is important to let your kids fail, but in the setting of your family, that's not it, probably because you're going to correct them. They're going to fail a lot in the real world and there's not a lot you can do for them in that situation. They'll figure it out.

But I think you're preparing her the best you can for the real world. Still, nineteen is still a child. I mean, I know you're technically an adult and you're still a child. Yeah. I do things. I will say things, and it's scary because I'm talking live every day and I'll get in my head and be like, oh god, how did that come across? Clearly, I think at this point you would probably know that any of us on the show, we never want to hurt someone's feelings. We

never want to offend someone through ignorance. We might times, yea through accidental missteps in our words. We might at times. So I would say, I don't know. I think you're doing everything right. And is it to answer your question, what is it appropriate and appropriate to let my young adult daughters learn on their own? I mean they're going to be away from you,

so that's when they're learning on their own. But when they're with you, you're still able to have conversations with them and talk through things with them. I think ye okay. And final email from Dan. Hi, Dan, I'm blind in my right eye, so my hearing, my friends have noticed, is better since my accident. I still have trouble hearing the TV at times, talking about kind of I think like keeping closed captions on. Were talking about that earlier on You can't make this stuff up. Thanks for

the email, Dan. We they said that of sixty percent of people use close captions on their TV now, which is a pretty high percentage, and they gave different reasons, but that is probably why Dan does. Thank you so much. We have two more days of Minnesota go by until Dave's back on Monday. Than I am out and we'd love your emails and show at KADWB dot com
