Here we go lost cover on the Minnesota Goodbye, welcome back fallon. Let's see what we got with emails. And yesterday we had an interesting conversation about whether scratching your butt and then rubbing your eye causes pink eye. And I learned that from you because you talked about You've brought it up many times over the years. You've got pink eye. You must have been scratching your rubbing your eye the eye, Rochelle writes in First off, pink eye is not
caused by picking your butt. Both of my young kids have had it and have given it to me. Is most often caused by a virus, which means the antibiotic drops they give you are useless if it is not bacterial pink eye. But daycares and preschools historically won't let you back in unless you're on drops, at least according to my pediatrician, so they prescribe those. The main sucky part about pink eyes it spreads so slowly through the house that it
keeps popping up in new people every time you think you are done. Sounds like your kids being their butt. Okay, I think she just said it's not about it in your butt. Also regarding Prior Lake, we talked about this morning. Somebody said a friend of mine said their realtor said that Prior Lake is the Coon Rapids of lakes, which I kind of laughed about, but I'm like, I want to know whether it's true. So this message
said friend the same woman regarding Prior Lake. I don't have any personal experience with that lake to know if there are rundown spots, but there are several boogey spots that I know of. We just build a house not in Prior Lake, with a builder that does one to two million dollar construction routinely on the lake. I think that you used to feel light wears away before the
one sixty nine bridge, another expansion south of the river. Now it's pretty easy to live there and work closer to Minneapolis, so it's not a bad choice. So interesting how we really have got people talking about Prior Lake. Probably not done with that right now. It's the popular spot. Apparently here we go. Hear'd you talking about Tuesday show podcast about Prior Lake being like Coon Rapids. This is not the case. I live in the area about
fifteen minutes from Prior Lake. I would consider Prior Lake and surrounding areas such as Credit River, Lakeville, and even most of Scott County to be similar to the DNA of the South Metro. These areas are growing, becoming more upscale and highly desirable for families looking to get out of the cities. Prior Lake itself is a super busy lake, almost like Lake Minnetonka of the South
Metro. Who knew as a resident of the area for the past nine years, I would highly recommend the area as it has been a much sought after area for many years. You have any questions about it, feel free to shoot me an email. Love you guys from Christie, love you back. That's good to know. I mean, if you're ever Dave, you've been looking for a lake home, you know, maybe Prior Lake should be on your radar. You know, it was not not on our radar. It's
just that there are no houses right now. Yeah, there are no houses that are popping up right now, and the ones that are are way out of our price range or feel like a cabin and yeah, I don't want to live in a cabin. I don't. And we've looked at several that they have a cabiny vibe and I don't want to live in a cabin.
I got jays. All right, we're talking about somebody wrote yesterday and said I'm going to the UK, give me some suggestions, and we said, oh no, can I suggest it wasn't here For that, I would follow Madison in Minneapolis and make sure it's still her name. She lived here and she was a foodie and she I loved her page so much and then she moved. Yeah, it's Madison in MPLS. But she's been living in London for the past year. So if you're going to that area, then she
just posted like her favorite year in review blog. Okay, so it's just Madison Madison in m p LS. It's her Instagram in Okay, Okay, got it. Okay. This is from Becca and she says, I've only been to London in the UK, but here's some recommendations. Now, this will only appeal to a few people, so I'm not going to spend a lot of time on this one, but I will definitely include it because I asked for it. Restaurants Churchill's Arms, an old English pub decorated with flowers
all over. It's amazing, Golden Union, very good traditional fish and Chips restaurant, fun atmosphere and so yummy fun. Neighborhoods, the Theater District and the Soho District. Things to do. Borough Market one of the oldest open air markets in the world. Lots to see and good foodstalls. That's Borough Market. Liberty London Department Store probably the most famous brand in London. This department store is beautiful to see. The building itself is stunning and in a
fun neighborhood. Churchill war Rooms Now, this is a museum of the bunker Churchill directed his army from during World War Two, completely preserved because they closed it up when the war ended and didn't want and it didn't resurface until they made the museum. I would love that a lot of people would be like, who's Winston Churchill? I don't care. Yeah, it's not that I don't know who Winston Churchill is. That's all the things you in London that
is probably not going to make the top of my list. That would be the top of my list. Hampton Court outside of London, Henry the eighth Amazing summer Getaway is the most incredible huge castle. That would be cool. Kensington Place in this city where Princess did lived. It's gorgeous in the gardens are amazing, so thank you for that. I would throw in there, you know, just like from my trip. I really look. They have such great theater there. If you like theater, they have great plays.
I feel like you have to do like an afternoon tea if you can do it. A really popular place is called Sketch and Tina and I went to it and we loved it. You don't even have to like love tea. Just get all the little stacks of pastries and sandwiches stuff and it's just like a fun experience. I don't know myself, but my friend Wendy's over there now. She's a traveling nurse that does demos, and so she was just in Liverpool. And Wendy is a very down to earth person, just as
chill as you can be. And she is going to high Tea. She is going to high Tea to be just for the experience. Exactly same kind of a thing. Next one, Dave, I heard about your sty and I have found that this complex work so much better than a warm wash claw. You warm it in the microway for ten seconds and it stays warm for ten to fifteen minutes. It helped mine go away faster, A loyal listener in Milwaukee from Stacy. Stacy, I actually ordered it off of Amazon,
thank you very much. I was just in the kitchen a minute ago and holding the warm, wet cloth up to my eye, and somebody came in, who's here for an interview? And they said, you get a sty don't you know? I said, yeah. He's like, man, I get them all the time, and so everybody has their recommendations. But I appreciate that definitely very much. Okay, next one. I can't believe I'm writing this. This is a good one for you, fal and you're ready.
I can't believe I'm writing this, but I'm going on a mini trip with a new boyfriend of one month. This is very important to remember this and I can't believe my luck. Tm I but sometimes I have a very small hemorrhoid, barely noticeable. But for some reason, things have escalated and definitely can't be ignored. I've done the treatments for five days and still not
good. Things will definitely be getting hot and heavy, and now I think you need I need to tell him because he won't be in that exact area, but definitely planned on being very nearby. I even have a wax planned. Ugh, how do I approach this? I am stressing, which doesn't help. I love you guys and just had to ask for advice. Thank you for not using my name. And they do have a very unique name, so I'm glad I didn't read that. I think one thing that's important.
Have you been together with him physically before? But even so if you have, it's still new, and you don't want to say I got a hamorrhoid. You want to be careful down there. Yeah, I mean if you've tried everything, you're drinking all of your water, getting your fiber, you know. I think if you are comfortable enough to go on a weekend get away, then you can have the awkward conversation. But you I would just do it like in a way that you kind of did, like say,
hey, I'm really embarrassed. This isn't going to affect anything, but I just am insecure about this. This isn't a permanent thing. It'll go away, but this is I have this. It's not going to affect us. Still want to hook up. I hope it doesn't affect you. I think that they're grows out by it, then that's a good look at that kind of person, like, get over it. Well, true, but I think if you've never seen one before, and it depends how old you
are. If you're twenty two, maybe he's never seen one before. Ye if he's forty two, then he's probably seen one before, has one himself, and it is a little surprising. The first time I saw one was like, whoa, what's that? I didn't know what it was. I just thought it was a weird growth or something. Cling to the darkness. You know, just only do it in the dark. I guess you can do that too. Yes, good luck. Let us know how it goes next one. Please don't use my name. Thanks for saying that upfront.
We hosted a client appreciation event this weekend, and why I ask people multiple times please RSVP so I could have a proper headcount for food. Forty eight hours before the event, I had seventy s so I shopped and planned accordingly. In the twenty four hours before the event, twenty eight more people RSVP. That's twenty eight My husband said, Well, they didn't run RSVP U till the last minute. They can come, but no food, I said, we can't do that because it'd be weird and rude. And he said,
well them not RSVPN is weird and rude. I had to agree with them. I've hosted a baby in bridal shower in the last year, and both of those I had a hard time getting people to actually RSVP. They all still showed up to the actual event, but did an RSVP. Whenever I'm invited to something, I literally email or text my RSVP within five minutes of receiving it and added to my calendar. So are people just not wanting to commit to something, or are they lazy and they can't take sixty seconds
to RSVP? Or what is it? I don't know. Combination. I would guess combination. Everyone that's ever been married has dealt with this. It is so frustrated. That's why when I got e Whites you know, wedding rsup, I immediately RSVP because I'm like, they don't want to deal with that, you know what I mean? Let them know either way. I don't know what people are like that, but people always will be apparently.
Yeah, I think that. I think I RSVP to E White's wedding, and I don't know for sure that I'm going to go now because it's in Duluth. And you guys said you're having trouble finding hotel rooms that are close by. Didn't you say that you're driving up and coming back right in the same day. No. Yeah, they're expensive. The hotels, they are really expensive. Number one. And the one that I found that had an opening, you have to do a two night minimum. I'm not staying there
for two nights. Ye got it. So I just got an airbnb in Superior because Duluth has such limited airbnb's they only allow so many permits. Next one day. First of all, love your show. I was listening to the podcast to day. I heard you say that Prior Lake is this Coon Rapids of lakes. It might have been ten or fifteen years ago, and I'll bet that's what it is been this real turn said that is the Coon Rapids of Lakes. But a lot has changed during the last five to ten
years. Been a lot of teardowns and new houses being built. We have lived on the lake for about five years now and we absolutely love it. I can't say enough good things about our neighborhood, and we love the small town feel of Prior Lake, even though it's not small. I think you guys would love it anyway. My husband and I are both airline pilots and love hearing your flying stories and comments. Keep up the great work. We love your show and listen every morning. That is so cool that you and
your husband are both airline pilots. I would that would my god, I would love to be married to an airline pilot. Don't get me wrong, I love Susan blah blah blah, but that would be so cool to be married to somebody was such an interesting career and the fact that you're both airline pilots, that question is so cool. Do you get to see each other
very often? Because my friend's husband, who is a high level airline pilot for Delta, I think he misses a lot because, especially with the shortage of pilots right now, he is like always on call, it seems like, and has to travel. So with both of you, do you get to see each other very often? That's a very very good question, So let us know do you could see each other? And how cool is that when you're talking about like the voars and the Dames and things like that,
that people know what you're talking about. I think that's awesome. Next one, this is from Chow. Chow writes in about once a week, and we really appreciate that. One. Chow says last Friday, I was listening to the podcast from that morning getting my second tattoo. Problem is, I was only able to remember about five percent of what you guys mentioned on the show as I was in pain for four plus hours, so I had to listen to the podcast over again. Attached It's a picture of my new tattoo.
It's a shield with a food dog on my chest. The food dog represents guardian and protection. I wish I could show it to you, but it is a very intricate, beautiful tattoo and it is large. It has taken up most of his chest. Yeah, so that is a good artist right there. That is super cool because the shading is I don't know anything about art or tattoo, but that is really beautiful. So good for you couple. Actually, last one, here we go, second time writer to
the Minnesota Goodbye the first email. You titled the episode based off my email. How cool. I love the bit this morning about I don't want to go because I think it's very relatable. You should try the opposite, what are you looking forward to? Kind of heartwarming and it's fun to hear about fun things that people are planning and saving for, etc. Okay, so I think I'm a decently funny human, maybe slightly awkward until you get to know me. So last night I took her four month old puppy Bear,
who's a bernardoodle, to his first puppy class. They were taking attendance called out by dog name, and instead of responding present or here, I said woof and silence, no laughs. Funny or not funny? I thought it was a good one. Yeah, and then I quickly followed it up with sorry, bears a little shy l ol. I think it is funny. It is. I think people we're probably nervous and probably like a little bit
self conscious being around new people. Lastly, I appreciate that Fallen did the deep Dive on Tracy Chapman's song, and also that the original still plays. I've never heard of that song before, not even knowing it was a remake, but after hearing the deep Dive and Tracy's version, I was in tears. This song just hits differently. I know Fallen was debated on do it because of the Big boss Man. Might have been happy, might not have been happy to hear an old song in the radio, but I'm so glad.
Happy hump Day y'all from Jackie. First of all, Jackie, I'm glad you liked the bit today about I don't want to go. I don't remember what inspired that yesterday, but there's a I think I said to Jenny, there's something I don't want to go. I don't want to go. Oh, it was probably the gym, because I've going to the gym yesterday and I don't want to go to the gym. But every time I go to the gym, I'm really glad that I did. I said, Jenny, let's do a bit tomorrow. Call I don't want to go, and
I'll bet a lot of people will call in. And we had a ton of people calling in. I don't want to go, and I think it's good to be able to admit I don't want to go to my sister's wedding shower, baby shower. Don't want to go the Tracy Chapman song. I was talking about this earlier. I think it's so tragic yet hopeful that she's got a bum of a boyfriend, and she thinks if they try to get ahead, she'll try to get ahead, he'll do the same, and they'll
get out of the shelter and live in the suburbs. But he is still a shitthead and he doesn't do anything, and he parties and drinks and she does all the work, but she's still hopeful. It makes me sad because you know, she talks about like growing up in Ohio or whatever, and it's like everyone's kind of the same. That's how I feel, like, not always, but like a lot of the time where I'm from, and
it's like a lower income, kind of poverty ish level. I mean, they're definitely people that do really well, but they do you see, the people they want to get out, they want to break the cycle, and then they end up start they date someone that ends up being just like their dad, and they never break the cycle, and it continues to the next generation and the next generation. And so also a very relatable song for where I grew up as well. Yeah, I thought that was interesting. I
just remember when that song came out. It was about nineteen eighty nine or so, and she came out of nowhere. She only had the one hit and it was just a really powerful song. So I'm glad you did the deep dive and that was awesome. And that is it for the Minnesota goodbye. If you want to comment, I think we're done commenting on Prior Lake. So you sent me straight. You sent me straight on Prior Lake, and I do appreciate that one because Prior Lake is no longer considered like a
gross suburb. But not that it ever was. But if you want to comment on anything from dating with hemorrhoids that yeah, oh my god, it reminded me. I forget where I read this years ago. But people who have herpies, they'll set up like a vacation to go on, Like let's say you're gonna go to Chicago for the weekend or whatever, and if you have herpies sometimes it will be brought on by stress. So people will say, yep, sure enough, I got a week along get away or a
weekend get away with my boyfriend. First time we're going to hook up. We're going Chicago, and I've got her piece. It's like, I don't know what you do? What do you what do you do? Yeah? I mean you don't really want to have sex while you have herpes. So let's entitle this episode Herpies. What's gonna call it Prior Lake. Let's call it priyor Lake. That's probably a whole lot better, really quick unpopular opinion. Yeah, I've decided I don't like Chicago. Oh tell me why I
don't get it. I've been there now a handful of times, and I think I'm missing what is so cool about Chicago. I've done the architectural boat tour, I've seen the bean, I've had pizza. What else is there to do in Chicago? I've been the Navy Pier. I feel like you are there. I mean, I've been in the museum. Are there more than five things to do there? I'm not in this that one. That statement is just a triggering thing. But if I was picking a big city,
I would not pick Chicago. Pick New York because like I think of like New York. It's like there are great Broadway shows and like Central Park, and like, I don't know, I don't I don't get Chicago. I don't disagree with you. I've been Chicago does and times or so half a dozen times, but every time I've been it's been for an event. I went there for the Rolling Stones concert, and you have a few hours to spare, so you go down the Miracle Mile and go shopping and then
you get your picture by the bean. And that's actually kind of like dirty. The Miracle Mile is like not. It didn't used to be I think, I think it used to be nice, but now it's like a lot of the cities are dirty. Alison and I went there to go see Oklahoma when she was about twelve, so about twenty years ago, and we went to get dinner and we went down the Miracle Mile, and but we had the show to go to. We went to Oklahoma, so we had an event to go to. I was there a year ago for Morning the Morning
Show convention and we went to Navy Pier. Navy Pier is unremarkable to me. There's nothing remarkable about Navy Pier. There's a giant ferris wheel. Okay, that's cool. It's a giant ferris wheel. But we didn't go on the lake boat tour. We didn't go in the architecture tour. I think we hopped on one of those buses that drives around and says that's where Missus O'Leary's cow kicked over the lantern started the fire. But no, I don't
disagree. I will only say that maybe I just haven't been pointed in the right direction. Yeah, maybe I'm like, obviously, I'm not going to go to the party scene, and I don't care about baseball, so I don't need to go to like Wrigley Field or whatever. But I think that's it. I think that's it you. I think you go to Chicago, you have to have an event and everything else. There is kind of a cool backdrop. Yeah, I guess. No, I don't know. Maybe
somebody's gonna call it a popular opinion though. Yeah, no, that's fine. Let me know if we're wrong about that. Send emails to Ryan Show at KDWB dot com and we'll see you next time.
