It is the Friday Minnesota Goodbyeman in a really good mood because it's Friday, it's beautiful, it's Mother'sday weekend. I don't fish myself, but it's fishing opener, and it's supposed to be gorgeous, like all three days, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. I mean, like eighties on Sunday. Are you serious? You're heading a nicer weather. I'm going to LA and it's gonna be probably seventy five or so. Carson lives in LA. And it's kind of funny because we when he moved out there a year and a half ago,
we said, oh, we'll be back every couple of months. We're gonna come see you. We never once went to see him in LA, because he came to see us, and you meet us here, meet us in Colorado or whatever. He met us in Phoenix a couple of times to see Chase. He was just out to see He was just out to see Chase the other day, and he was going to Phoenix to meet his buddies there because one friend lives there and the rest we're all flying in for like
a boy's weekend in Phoenix. And so he stopped by to see Chase, and Carson is so quiet it that he he has a million friends, so I know he's not quiet all the time because people his friends love him. Yeah, but they I got video of Chase handing Carson the baby, baby Gwyn, who's about a month and a half old, and Carson takes the baby. Let's act like I'm giving you the baby. Okay, all right, I'm going to hand you here. Oh, here you go, Jenny,
Oh so cute. Oh my goodness, this is a baby. Carson didn't say a fucking word, not a fucking word, and he just looked at the baby. And Carson loves babies, and I know he loved that moment. But I was like, Carson, say something, Say Andy, say something. And that's just the way he is. He is, just if I think Carson is one of those people and I used to be this way too, that you think of what to say and then you realize that it might sounds stupid or it might sound like for Carson to go, oh,
she's so cute. Cancel that might sound stupid, that might sound silly. Cancel it. Don't say anything. Oh look at her smile Cancel. No. So I think that some people like Carson, and he's such a sweet person. He edits himself in his head so much that he ends up not saying anything. And it's like, Carson, fucking say something. Yeah, you know. And Carson, I don't think you listen to the podcast, but if you do, I really hope that at one point in your
life you'll realize it's okay to say something. Sometimes it's better to say something a little bit stupid than to say nothing. Well, I don't know about that. Oh, I think. I think sometimes because because there was an awkward silence and then Chase had to break the silence by saying something, and
then Mattie said something and Carson just sit and stare at the baby. And I'm not critiquing my own son, but it's like, say something, Yeah, it would be I understand like the awkwardness of that situation, because then I retched Chase and Mattie are like, oh God, does he think our baby's ugly or something? That isn't what cat the baby's ugly? I can't say that, all right? Well, start off with an email from Nicole. Yesterday we were talking about company parties. She says, Dave, Jenny
Vant, good morning and happy Friday. I have a reason why company party should not offer an open bar at a holiday party. The reason is me, Oh boy. Years ago, I attended my husband's holiday party, which was held at a hotel. There was an open bar for a happy hours, so I decided I probably should take advantage of the situation. Bad idea. I drank my fair share of white Russians on an empty stomach. I wanted to get into our room, but since it was my only my husband's
name on the room, they would not give me a card. I didn't have shoes, I couldn't find him anywhere, so I ended up in the pool area having a great conversation with a very elderly man in a speedo. Nice. Needless to say, my husband was not impressed with me, and it took many years before we attended another company party, and I had to promise to be on my best behavior. I will not end this with a dark lick, because that is not my thing. I would be afraid of
finding Okay, now you're getting gross. I would be afraid of finding a dingleberry lurking around, and that would make me gag. Oh right, Nicole, thank you very much. Honest, you know I'm not going to get too into that, but you know, maintain your butthole. You know what I mean. Man, I'm marry a day baby. Maintain your buttthole. Well, don't. Don't walk around with your butthole not maintained. And that's very important your beehole. Maintain your beehole. I like it. I'm going
to tell you this. If you are an eight year old or ten year old child and you take off your underpants and there's a brown streak, you're a kid. It's fine. If you're over the age of fifteen and you take off your underpants and there's a brown streak, consistently, maintain your butthole. If you are a thirty four year old man, and I'm going to guess right now there is a woman listening who's married to a thirty four year old or forty eight year old or twenty five year old man, and he's
always got a brown streak in his underpants. That guy needs to grow up and learn to maintain his butthole. Am I right? You are completely right. I don't really understand. Like for me, I'll use an entire toilet paper roll if that's what it takes. Kid, you gotta maintain your butthole.
I dated a woman one time, and I remember after we did the thing and I got up to go to the bathroom or whatever, I came back or underpants or by the bed, and there were white like probably you know, like regular underpants yep, with a big brown streak in him. And I was like, God, seriously, you're an adult. Clean that thing up. Maintain your butthole. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I agree. Okay, if you have any comments on that, please send me an
email. Well, maybe your husband or your eighteen year old son or maybe your twenty year old daughter, you do their laundry and you still got a brown streak in the underpants that needs to stop. How would you approach that with Carson if you saw that, I just wouldn't. I would not at this age. It's like, no, you know what, you got to learn it on your own. H I don't think I've had brown streaks in my underpants since I was probably eight or ten. Yeah, you know what
I mean. That's good. It was a few years ago for me. Yeah, you know. And sometimes you have a little slippage and then you have to throw it in the laundry. But that should never be a common thing. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah all right. Next one is mostly for Jenny. They show a picture of an adorable dog with a purple bandana and this is like a cute little poodaly losso opso looking little dog. You can use my name, Nate, I get a question for
Jenny. I was catching up on old episodes. Listen to one where Jenny talked about tips on Rover that's the app, and how sometimes she can tell right away when people will or won't tip. My question is what is an appropriate tip for somebody watching my dog through Rover? Is it fifteen to twenty percent like you do in a restaurant? More less does it make a difference percentage wise if it's somebody doing doggy daycare for a few hours or versus boarding
my dog at their house for a few days. Here is my puppy for reference, mostly to show you how cute she is. She is adorable. Thank you, and don't forget that dart licking is right? Okay, that was clever. Nate. First of all, explain the Rover app. Rover is just an app. You can find dog watchers, walkers, whatever in your area or wherever you want. It doesn't matter. You can set your distance wide like you do like Facebook, Marketplace or something, and then you
hire them. And then for me, we only do dog sitting at our house. I used to do some dog walking, but honestly that was like a little two time consuming for me for like maybe making like seven bucks, you know, wasn't like a payday to go walk a dog or whatever. So yeah, I would say for tipping, if people tip, it's usually ten to twenty percent, okay, And then I usually, like I mean, I do I not to pat myself on the back, but I do
take dogs for walk a lot. I take them to dog parks, Like I'm pretty active with the dogs that we watch, So I think that people really appreciate that. And then it reflects in the tip a lot of times. So it's really up to you. But like I said, some people don't tip, and I'm not mad about that if they don't. But also
this is like just a little side thing for me. I don't want to speak for people who like this is a job for them, because for them, I'm sure they're a lot more reliant on tips, but I also expect them to be really good dog watchers and walkers and stuff. Too than if they are reliant on tips. I I was talking to somebody the other day about you and your dog walking and dog sitting, and they were like, I don't know who to live my dog with, and kennel's are so expensive
and blah blah blah. And I think it was it might have been Susan, because Josie is fifteen. She is a handful. She just peas at will whenever she wants. She'll squat on the carpet right in front of me and pee. She'll leave a giant puddle the size of a open newspaper on the floor because she'll just pee. Yeah, And I said, you know, Jenny watches dogs. I said, kennel's are so expensive because they have the camera and the bed and they have the treats and the outdoor time whatever.
I said, we could get Jenny to watch, but wouldn't. I would not put Josie on you. She's really We got her in a kennel this weekend. Yeah, you know, I love Josie, but I would say no to Josie because she's too difficult. It's not I mean, she is such a sweet dog. But if I'm constantly having it clean up after a dog like that's like a one and done situation, because there are some dogs I've watched before where I don't say yes anymore when they've reached out because
they've peed all over my house. And it's just I don't get paid that much to watch these dogs. Like whateverything's said and done, It's really not like a ton of extra money, so I'm kind of like it's not really worth the stress of having to constantly clean up. I had a friend that watched Josie and I overpaid her, deliberately played her like three times what I should have paid her, and I still got the idea that she doesn't want
Josie back. Yeah, because Joe, we put diapers on Josie. It doesn't do any good because she'll fill the diaper and then walk around the house with her diaper leaking. And she's just such a sweet girl and I just love her so much, but you know, she is not an easy dog to watch. Yeah, next one, don't say my name. Thanks for putting that up front. An instant cringe worthy memory comes to mind talking about
getting drunk at a work function. I love this. I was twenty six, I had just started a new job maybe a month, and we had some reps fly into town. There was an afterwork happy hour on a super cute downtown Saint Paul patio for a meet and great type of situation. All was going really well. I'd only planned on slowly sipping one Core's light in front of me when one of the reps ordered another round, then another, and another round, until my new boss had to drive me home because I'd
become a liability. He was super annoyed. The ride home was silent, aside from me giving him directions to my house. Of course, this happened on a Tuesday, so I had the rest of the week to deal with my shame and embarrassment. In my defense, I'd had my first baby six months prior, and I had only stopped nursing when I started that job.
It genuinely did not occur to me that after a year and a half of not drinking, my alcohol tolerance would simply not It would not simply pick up where I left off, Dummy. Many life lessons learned from that one happy hour never again, over and out dart lickety split. I love that you know, I don't I know what you mean when you have a drink and you're fine. Yeah, Then you have another drink and then you don't even
realize that you're not fine anymore. You're just drinking. Yep. And sometimes if you're quiet and nervous, you drink more because you want to have something to do besides sit. So yeah, you know, it's something that comes with experience, yes, And definitely if you're sitting down and drinking, that
will take a toll on you too, because I'll never forget. In college, one time I was drinking tequila and we were just playing games around a table, and after like an hour and a half of taking like shot after shot after shot, I stood up and everything went downhill. I passed out in front of the door to my apartment complex. The guy who works at the apartment had to help me into the complex and everything was good. But I definitely did not touch tequila for a very long time and learned to never
just sit and booze for like an hour and a half straight. Right, Yeah, I totally get you know, you learn that when you're younger. I drank a lot in high school, and I learned a lot of drinking less since in high school, and I know that when my face is getting numb, it tingles, and that's when I'm getting drunk. And that's when I need to slow down, because I learned that when I was probably fifteen years old. God. Next one. If you're just joining us for the
first time in the Minnesota, goodbye. It's ninety percent emails and then commentary, and it's really just it's a lot of fun to find out what you want to talk about and what you want to respond with to something we say on the show. And that's why we call the people who listen staff writers, and people will send in an email and they'll give me their address and
I'll mail them an official staff writer sticker that will go on. It's about the sides of a flatten baseball and it goes on your yetti or your computer or whatever, and you are the writers of the show. Here we go, Hey, their morning show crew. A while back, he asked if anybody had moved due to heartbreak and said it would be a bit too much. I actually move states three times due to breakups and heartbreak. First time, I had just turned nineteen after a three year relationship. I had to
leave a very toxic and manipulative relationship. I moved from South Dakota to Wisconsin with my mom. Second time, I was twenty two, just got done with a two year relationship. The breakup was my idea, personality differences, but I was heartbroken. My mom had since moved to Minnesota, so I did two. Third time, I was twenty five. Three year relationship breakup is my idea, personality differences, but I was very heartbroken, so I
moved back to Wisconsin. Now that's interesting that moving that a heartbreak would make you move. Why Why do you think is it because you don't want to run into them, or you see the same things, or you just need a new start. I was gonna say, I think it's more like a new start situation, because I mean, if you're living in the Twin Cities area, there's a good chance you could like avoid them. You know, it's not small town Wisconsin of five hundred people. I would say that.
I mean, I just I was out to dinner with a girlfriend a couple of weeks ago, and our server had just moved a year ago from Dori County, Wisconsin because he had gone through a breakup, and he was like, you know, I just needed a new start, and so I moved here and but loving it ever since. So she does explain. She says moving helped me with a fresh perspective, eliminated the chance of running into my
ex and memories. That's exactly what we said. But it's easier if you don't have any close friends or family that you would miss being around and having a flexible job. By the way, I'm in a new relationship over two years now. Guess you can say that I'm in love with love. You got heartbroken three times in six years, so I hope this one works out. And I won't say their name. I don't think they don't say say
my name, but I won't say it. Next one. This is from somebody named Bailey, not our Bailey, but it was kind of interesting, even though it is about flying. I got a question for day of regarding the FAA. I saw video that talked about pilots and pilots in training and therapy. In the video, they talked about how some pilots and pilots in training are now ignoring their mental health issues due to the fact that the FAA may ban them from flying for even seeing a therapist and deem them unfit to
fly. I would love to hear your thoughts and opinions on this and if you personally experienced anything like this yourself or with fellow pilots. Thank you for reading. I would love a staff writer sticker if you have any available. I do dart lick from Bailey in Minnetaka. Years ago, when I was going through some really hard, hard stuff, the doctor put me on a prescription for I think it was anxiety depression. It was a daily dose, not like you know, klonopin was like as needed. This was a daily
dose. And when you go to get your flight physical, you have to report or maybe the doctor has report to the FAA, Hey Dave is on this, you know whatever, And they said, oh the doctor said, oh yeah, we got to suspend your license. You can't fly while you're on this. Oh shit. So it wasn't working for me anyway, because my anxiety depression was situational. In other words, it was caused by something. It wasn't just out of the blue, like your anxiety is kind of
like you just it's not for a particular reason necessarily. Yeah, I mean it's a mixture of both. Like certain things, yeah can cause me anxiety, higher things, but are like higher stress things, but also it can come out of nowhere, out of nowhere, So I had to get off the medication, and then I had to have my doctor, my personal doctor, write a letter saying, yeah, Dave is fine, and he displays no whatever evidence blah blah blah, and so it was fine and I'm flying
again, and you know, it wasn't a long suspension. But I don't think that it is just because you go to therapy. Therapy can be for anything. Therapy can be for marriage or grief or whatever. So I don't think it's just because you go to therapy. I would hope not, because I think that like you could be like doing so so well in life, not having like barely any mental health issues, but you certainly had someone to talk to that's not your friends or family. So I would hope that wouldn't
stop pilots from being able to fly just because they're going to therapy. But I do think that there are probably pilots who don't take their medication or don't get on medication because they would have to suspend their flying. Hopefully they're not airline pilots, but I think they're pretty rigorous with airline pilots do you ever hear the story you want to hear a horrible story. I don't know, I guess. So this happened about tennis years ago as an airline in Germany
called German Wings I think. And the pilot, the pilot of the co pilot, they're in the cockpit, and the pilot leaves to go to the bathroom. And you know, with doors today since nine to eleven, they're secure. You can't you couldn't blow them open with his stick of dynamite. Yep. So that keeps people from breaking into the cockpit, which is a good thing. That's kind of what caused nine to eleven people broke into the cockpit and crash the planes. So now the pilot leaves to go to the
bathroom. The co pilot locks the door and then decides to he's going to crash the plane. So the pilot and the flight attendant are outside screaming and yelling, let us in, let us in, let us in, and the co pilot, who had some sort of horrible mental suicidal disorder, he crashed the airplane into a mountain and killed everybody on board. That's how important it is to have a mentally healthy pilot. That's not suicidal. So I don't want to put any fear into you, but it's just you know,
they get it. They're just very rigorous about, you know, the pilot's mental health. Right, let's do something happier. Okay, okay, okay, So this is It's from Tammy. I listened to the Morning Show and I now listen to the podcast. Thank you. I'm glad you listened. I'm interested to hear more about Jenny's dog sitting. I'd love to find out
how I can hire her. I don't know that you can. You got to be why guess, you know, meet the requirements or whatever, But how would somebody hire you Jenny for dog sitting or any person for dog sitting.
So I go through the Rover app like we discussed earlier, and you just kind of have to search your area if you're looking for a dog sitter for me specifically, if you're looking to reach out to me, honestly, you'll probably just have to like DM me on Instagram so I can send you my link, because I don't think you can just like search like Jenny and the Rover app and find me. It's kind of hard because I've had people message me before and be like I tried to find you, like I can't
find you anywhere. So if you feel like dming me on Instagram, it's just at Jenny KATWB and then I can just send you the director. I think I would love to be a dog sitter. I love dogs, and I'm not you know. I hope Josie is around for another twenty years. She's fifteen, and you gotta you get a little bit guilty because you start thinking about will I get another dog in the future, And of course I will because I love dogs so much. They're just dog is God spelled backwards.
And I know that's only in English, in Greek, it's not in French, it's not. But it's almost like, you know, God is showing you, Hey, here's a little gift for you. Yeah, I mean, is the best pet in the world. Some people prefer pet cats, but yeah, they're the best. They're just the best. And she does say she wraps up her email with something that I like. She says, I'm a long ass time listener back to the Lee and Pat days, And that is from Tammy Lee and Pat Days go back twenty twenty four years
or so long a time ago. And that is going to pretty much do it for the Minnesota Goodbye. Somebody did find a cool retro KDWB hat. I don't know where they found it, but apparently it's something we used to sell at the KDW or the State Fair booth. And it's a KWB baseball cap and it's old because it's way out of style, but thank you down for sending that one in. I've got a KTWB hat that we used to
sell at the State Fair and I wear it once in a while. It's twenty years old, but I don't like to wear it because I don't want anybody to think, oh, there's Dave Ryan and he's showing off by letting everybody know that he's a KTWB hat once, So I don't wear it, you know what I mean? I'll wear it to like the State Fair, Do you get what you mean? Because I have like a winter hat that
sometimes I'm like, I don't really want to like wear this. It says KATIEWB on it and whatever, but I still wear my a lot of like T shirts and sweatshirts and stuff from here. Yeah, I really I don't. Honestly, I'll wear him if we're going to do a station event or you know whatever. But I don't like to call attention to myself, and I don't like to look like I call it like I'm calling attention to myself. So thanks for showing me the hat. I think that's super cool.
I can't imagine how old it is. And that's going to do it for the Minnesota Goodbye. Thanks for sending in your emails. You got one that you want to talk about. You're the star of the show. You're the staff writer. You are like the writers on Grey's Anatomy. If it wasn't for you, there would be no show. So send your emails into Ryan's show at KDWB dot com.
