Moving right along to the Minnesota Goodbye, So looks good started. I was just reading the story that I know nothing about because you had just talked about it on Dave's Dirt a minute ago. And this is the Colleen Ballinger who was also known as Miranda Sings, And I don't know anything about her,
but I heard your story. Basically, the story is she's a YouTuber singer and now she has these kids that they were kids and now they're kind of adults, and they're like, she had highly inappropriate relationships with us, and people are accusing her of grooming. And I don't know, I guess the full definition of grooming, so I'm not the expert. It didn't for me,
like it didn't feel like grooming. It felt like highly inappropriate relationships with children where she was treating them as adults and it was so inappropriate, Like she shouldn't be calling thirteen year olds, She shouldn't be telling a thirteen year old talking about thirteen year old till three am about chaos going on in her life, you know what I mean. Well, I just again, I don't know anything about it, but I just find it interesting that somebody who
is like a thirty six year old. That she's born in night and eighty six, so she'd be about thirty six. Yeah, and she is a woman. She's attractive, it doesn't really matter. But she has been sexting and texting underage boys. I think it's mostly boys. She's sex then that's very If there's more two of the story than I've read, then I don't want to say it's not grooming. I guess from the initial thing I read. It depends on what Again, Like you said, what is grooming?
I mean, grooming is when you're preparing them to basically making them feel safe. And we went through this with boy scout training because with with boy scouts, there used to be a day back in the day when one leader could go out with ten boys on an overnight camp out and very very rarely,
but apparently it did happen. It never happened to anything when I was a boy scout, but leaders would groom a boy like, oh, oh, you know what, you need to sleep in my tent or you know, if you're scared of the dark, it's okay if you sleep in my tent. And if you're cold, you know what we can I don't even want to say what they would do. I think that's grooming, or like we saw a video demo because you go through this training and you have to say like, okay, if you see this, you can't allow it. You
can't be alone with a boy. And one of them was a video of a hockey coach who had a favorite hockey player and you'd come over and you'd be like, okay, I bought you an Xbox and you know, would sound really good as a BackRub, and it was like, oh, now that's grooming. But she did ask a fifteen year old boy what his favorite sexual position is. Now, that's not necessarily grooming. It's just disgusting. So I just wonder why somebody would do something like that, you know what
I mean. I'm gonna guess she's emotionally immature, maybe has like a little bit of a mindset of a child still herself. For whatever reason, I'm gonna guess these are people that are like, oh, really promoting her, overly defending her, because who has the time to run fandoms? Usually young people who don't have full time jobs, right, So it's usually kids that
are like the main swifties or the main BTS army or whatever. So then she gets really close to the top fans, creates a group chat with them, and they're just so supportive of her. Yeah, I think it must have gotten blurry and it's so weird. It's the same reason you go, how could a teacher hook up with a student? That's it's so messed up you don't even want to think about it. I don't even like talking about
it. It's so disturbing. Yeah, especially now that I have kids, and like it becomes more of like something I have to be overly aware of. You kind of got to be aware of it. There's a Rolling Stone article that says fans built her an internet empire. Now they're tearing it down. So I don't know. I just thought it was interesting. It's kind of like, didn't we talk the other day about school teachers that hook up with thirteen year old boys? Because yeah, yeah, Mary Kay Laturno was
that her name? Like that? Yeah, let's move a lot of more pleasant things here and let's see what we got Minnesota. Goodbye. Don't use my name because I know they listen to your show. Me and my wife are getting married in two weeks, and we feel like my wife's aunt is hijacking our wedding. We wanted a small backyard wedding and have a small budget
of four thousand dollars. We were using her aunt's background to host our wedding, so my wife thought it'd be good to include the aunt into the decorating and planning. At first, I thought it was a good idea too. Why not? Now we are two thousand dollars over budget because of her aunt keeps adding stuff that we didn't want to begin with every time we suggest something
or say something like, I understand, but this way is better. We tried to tell her, hey, we're over budget, but she kept telling a six thousand dollars as nothing is to the point where my wife just wants to cancel the wedding and get a court marriage. How do I politely tell my wife to be I guess that we us want to stick to our original plan without sounding like an asshole because we are using her backyard. So I think, in other words, they want to tell the aunt, we want
to stick to our original plan. Thanks for letting us use your backyard, we can't afford it. I think you tell her exactly that. I know that she probably is really well intended but I can't imagine somebody saying, yeah, I know you can't afford it's not in the budget, but go ahead
and do it anyway, because you're gonna be glad you did. Also, for someone to tell you that six thousand dollars isn't a lot of money, I mean, that's for me. I'd be like if, like, for instance, like if let's say David and I were talking, Dave said six thousand dollars isn't a lot of money, I would be like, Okay, well maybe it isn't for you, but it is for me, you know
what I mean. Like you, I feel like you can say that to her, be like, I get that that's not a lot for you, and we hope to be in that at that point one day in life, but we're not there right now, so that is a lot of money for us. Yeah, I think you are have every right to politely say we can't. We're going to pull back on this one. The wedding's two weeks away, and I'm going to guess that the aunt is going to probably throw in a few more things. So you have every right to politely, respectfully
say, you know what, we can't love you. I know you mean well, but we just can't. Good luck with that. Let us know how it turns out. Next one. Hello. First off, my name is Rachel, and being a Rachel, I think it's hilarious every time somebody named Rachel calls or tanks or emails named Rachel. Because Falon commented racily recently, wow, we got a lot of Rachels who listen to our shows. Second, I want to share some of my favorite phrases you guys say,
some of which I've adopted into my everyday life. Okay, here, this should be good. Anytime you describe something as delightful, I find myself using this all the time. Oh, those pumpkin seeds were delightful. Those cupcakes were delightful. When Falon yells David, I'm waiting for you to do it, David, yes, because at Drake I say one, one, one hundred percent all the time. When Dave says something ridiculous and Falin responds with, what how does that go? I don't know, say something ridiculous?
Well, I, first of all, I don't think that there should be any bicycles allowed on streets because they are a danger to themselves and others. What, Yeah, that must be a yeah, okay, good By the way, I'm kidding about that. I admire bicycles, so don't get on me. Also, the feet pick you put on Instagram literally made me laugh out loud. Thank you for being a ray of sunshine every morning on my way to work. Sincerely, bestie Rachel. Here for the foot discussion.
So I had the delight that you had of watching the video and being highly surprised by the last photo. Yeah, we were all putting pictures. I'm like, okay, we need ideas. Let's okay, Drake, we got any ideas, And he's like, well, people want me to model my feet on only fans. Okay, well, let's make a bit out of that. And then we said, let's all put our feet up and we'll
make Jenny's feet the ugliest. And so I googled ugly feet and I found some genuinely ugly old lady disease feet that did not look good, and we said, oh, that's kind of funny. But then I found one that looked like Fred Flintstone's feet with hair and weird toes, and Jenny laughed or ass off of that one. I said, that is the one right there. Next part this is for Dave. Okay, I've been terrified to ask this, but I was the host of think Fast in January the Scuba Diver
if you recall, I do, and you guys were so wonderful. I've always admired that you're a pilot, as my brother flies for Delta and my fiance drives a motorcycle, so I feel like there's so many ways I can somewhat relate to you. Also, my dog of only ten years ago ten years passed away unexpectedly, so every time you promote pause for pause that warms my heart. You really made me feel like a friend, and I've made sure to tell all my friends that you are as wonderful in person as you
are on the radio. My fiance and I are getting married on August thirteenth, and I keep meaning to ask if there's any chance you would be willing to officiate our wedding. Our ceremony is small, it's at the Arboretum. I know you said you don't do that much anymore, but I would regret if I didn't at least ask. I totally understand if you say no, and I'm little embarrassed even asking, but with how personable and friendly you were, I had to shoot my shot. Either way, I appreciate the time
I had to meet you all, and thank you. That is from Rachel. Rachel. I actually looked in my phone to see what I'm doing on August thirteenth, and I am going to be on vacation that weekend, so that is the previous week is the Morning Show convention in Dallas, and we don't even get home until the thirteenth. So but I am flattered that you would ask. Yeah, And I really don't anymore because even though I hate the word ordained, it sounds so religious, but I am legal to marry
people, and I've married probably twenty couples or more. Well, I did the mass wedding at the Treasure Island, so I've married probably fifty couples or more. But I really don't do them anymore. And the reason is I thought I would do them every weekend, and then I thought, well, to marry somebody, you have to make it respectful. So you have to meet with the couple first, and you have to say, well, how
did you meet? So I can tell some funny stories. So when I get up there, I go, this is Joyce and Bob and Joyce and Bob met at the water park one time they were both lifeguards. Blah blah blah. And to make it a respectful wedding, I have to meet with you and we have to do a rehearsal and they have to actually write it. Yea. So I really don't do them because it takes away, you know. Look, we get a day and a half off every week and so, but thank you so much for asking me. I really do appreciate
that, and happy wedding. Next one, I heard your podcast yesterday. You made a comment about being let down because you have been eating right working out, but you gained three pounds. That was me. Don't worry too much, says Jessica. As you continue to work out, you will increase muscle mess hence you will gain a little weight. But that's the good weight to gain all muscle. Bruh. So keep up the great work on dad
ass. Thank you, Jessica. I appreciate that. One. Yeah, I lost like six pounds in a month working out, and I lost like twenty on Lithia, but six more working out. But then I gained two and a half pounds of muscle. The other day I got a scale, and I'd gained three pounds in two days, and I came in crying to foul, and I had my head on her shoulder, right, and I was probably just bloated, because later that day I had lost two pounds. And I think, honestly, that might be it for the Minnesota Goodbye.
Let me see if there's any leftovers. There is one that goes back a little bit here. Nope, that was one we'd read yesterday. So that is pretty much gonna do it for the Minnesota Goodbye. Your emails really do make the podcast possible, or we'll talk about something totally random. I will say Powerball is worth seven hundred and fifty million dollars tonight, so depending on when you listen to this one, check that out. And that is it anything to add? I don't think so. Okay, we'll see you next
time on the Minnesota Goodbye. Our email address is always Ryan Show at KDWB dot com
