I got a lots cover here on the Minnesota Goodbye, so looks good. Started something brand new. This one says, my name is Haley, you can say my name. We usually do emails on the Minnesota Goodbye because it's just really interesting to find out what's on your mind and make it your podcast and find out what people want to say. This will be the shortest Minnesota Goodbye letter I've ever written. I got a very controversial, hard hitting relationship
question. When you and your partners start a show together and you're both into it, but then your partner stops watching as often as you'd like to, you may suggest, hey, do you want to watch another episode tonight? They say not tonight. How many times do you give asking? Do you ask? Giving them the chance before you leave them behind? My husband's horrible with this, and he's been left in the dust many a time. My cap is about three asks and then you out son. These are important things
we have to know thoughts and opinions. My wife is not into watching Jury Duty, and she would not mind if I went on to watch it, but we've only got two episodes to go, and am I come on watch with me? It's more fun. We watch one called Alice in Something Land. It's not Wonderland, Alison Something. It was a Japanese game show is kind of a and she would not care. We watched a couple It was very much like squid Game. Yeah, and she wouldn't care if I went
on to watch that album. Probably do two asks. But usually Jake and I know the kind of show we would actually really want to watch together. And he knows the show, like I know that he's not going to care about Firefly Lane, so I'm gonna watch it without it. He knows I'm not going to care about certain shows, so he watches them by himself. But like, there's one I'm watching right now. It's a new one on HBO. It's like a true crime movie or show. And I guess Jessica
Bield did one on HU. I didn't watch though, Candy whatever. But I started without Jake and I was like, oh, I bet this is a show he'd like. And he's like, just you can go on without me, and I was like, thank you. And sometimes that's the way it is. It's like you and that's nice when they admit that they don't really want to do it. That one is more of a video thing. So I'll come back to this one. Trigger warning. This is disturbing and
interesting and important. I love your showing podcast, Dave. I've listened to us, and she came to Minneapolis and listened with my kids every day on the way to school. I've been lucky enough to be someone whose Christmas wish nomination was fulfilled. I've won multiple tickets and events from your station, and laugh or cry with you every morning. Serious but important safety topic I want
to bring up for the good of the podcast. Trigger warning. And I'm gonna say trigger warning if you've ever been the victim of sexual abuse or anything like that. Last spring, I was in a neighborhood park with my two kids, ages six and three and a half. Park is quiet, just the three of us, A tween age boy, a father and his daughter, and a mom and her daughter kids are standing by me having a drink. When my husband called, I answered the phone. My kids went off
to play again. One minute and forty eight seconds into the phone call, my daughter came over to me crying and said a boy had put his hands in her pants and touched her vagina. I saw the tween boy get on his bike and start right in a way. I grabbed my kids, got into the car and followed him. We stopped him and confronted him. He
said he didn't touch her. My daughter called him a liar. We called the police and had him questioned as well as had my daughter examined and question Fast forward eight months, DNA found in my daughter's underwear matched the DNA from this boy. We frequented this park in the past, but did not know this boy. The reason that I think it's so important to share on a platform like your podcast is to alert parents just how quickly something like this could
happen. It also shows how closely a predator can watch a parent or caregiver for the slightest distraction. I see so many parents on their phone scrolling, texting, talking at the park nowadays. It makes me nervous that something similar could happen to their kids. I urge parents to be more aware at parks and learned from my story. Thanks BFF, but really a Dave Rhino at heart. That is from Debbie. Thank you, Debbie. I am so sorry. Debbie. Well, I think that you never think it's going to
happen to you, so you're not on the alert for it. You're at your neighborhood park, you're with your kids, You've been there, she says, she frequented this park. You don't think you're it's ever going to happen to you, in the same way that you don't think you're going to get cancer or you don't think that you're going to get into a car wreck. It's not going to happen to you. But I think that you brought up
an excellent point. It can happen. I'm I feel like opposite of that thought, I would agree at the park, I would not be thinking that's going to happen to my daughter over the course of one minute and forty seconds. But I actually stress about this so much having a young daughter because this is that is something I never even heard of, really, but like maybe once because of one creepy neighbor. Growing up, it was not something on
my radar. I don't feel like it was talked about as often. I know it was happening, but for some reason, people weren't talking about it like they are now. I am fearful of something like that happening to my daughter all the time, Like I overthink about it. It stresses me out for her to have sleepovers at friends houses. Even though I know that you can't keep your kids from doing kid things, it stresses me out. I'm very aware that they say the likelihood of it being someone you actually know in
your family is higher than a stranger. All of these things are terrifying to me, and it really weighs on my mind a lot, having a little girl, and I hate that. I hate that that's something that's even in my mind. It wasn't that long ago that Alison was a little girl. I mean, she's thirty one now, but we never really worried about that. But I will also say we were very careful about what she was exposed to, and I think that kind of assuaged our worries a little bit.
I remember one time we all got to go when Alison was about four years old. We got to go to LA to broadcast live and watch the Tonight Show. Well, Alice and couldn't go to the Tonight Show, and we didn't know anybody in Los Angeles, so we had to get in the phone book it was the phone book back then, and hire a babysitter. And it was a woman probably twenty two, twenty four, twenty six. I
don't remember. And even though it was a woman, and although she was in the phone book and worked for an agency, we still were a little bit nervous because you just never know. But we were very cautious. Next one, I love you in the show listening to your talkbacks about legalizing marijuana in Minnesota. I'm all for it. However, two things concerning me.
You SA marijuana while driving. You SA marijuana by students in school. I have a friend who is a teacher in California, where marijuana is legal, and she says she's seen a massive increase in the number of students who were high throughout each school day since legalization. I'm wondering if you can consider having teachers call in to share their thoughts about impacts legalizing marijuana might have on our
students in schools. No worries if not have a great day. I will instead invite people to if you're a teacher, will do a couple of days on this one. Let us know what you think. Cell phones are a big enough struggle. I know that when Carson was in school, but he knew people that would get high in the parking lot between classes or during lunch hours. Because when you're in high school, you get the freedom to go to your car, drive to McDonald's or Culver's for lunch, or sit in
your car and get high. Yeah, I mean I would be worried about that. I mean, it's scientifically proven that marijuana affects brain development and still developing brains, so we know scientifically that is the truth. And when they're in high school, their brains are still developing, so that is concerning for sure. And yeah, it's just like one more distraction for kids. I'm going to say something kind of bold, and this is not what I wish would happen. Well, it is kind of in a way. I'm a
gun owner. I wouldn't mind if all guns were abolished. I've got a Smith and Wesson five hundred. It is the most powerful handgun in the world. I got several rifles and get a shotgun, and get a bunch of guns. I'm getting make into a pointment, so you'll see what I'm saying. I wouldn't mind if they effectively a banished all guns. It'll never happen,
so I don't support that. Same with weed. I wouldn't mind if everybody in the world gave up their desire for weed and just said, you know what, don't really like it anymore because it does affect lives, and not always in the best way. Some people really love it because it helps them sleep or relax or whatever, but also there's a negative side to it, the stunted brain growth and not paying attention in class, distracted driving.
You know that people are going to get killed on the roads because somebody's gonna be getting baked in their car and they're not going to be you know, and it could be you or me, or could be somebody in our family. So I'm not saying I wish they would illegalize or keep weed illegal. I'm not saying that because it wouldn't do any good because people will be there.
It's already people are already doing it when it's technically illegal. But I wish that there were no guns and no drugs, Yeah, because the world would be a better place with no guns and no drugs. But people love their guns and people love their drugs. World be up at her place, keep going, I don't know the word. Well, you didn't get very far in a little offbeat too. I think it's a slower vive. I don't think you had a beat on that one. I'm not really sure,
so let me know what your thoughts on that one. Next one, we're talking about the show Jury Duty, so we're gonna save that one for the radio. This one is from Christie. Now you may remember Christie last week. She is a truck driver and she says she wants to ride in a little airplane. And I have not gotten back to her. I am so far behind on my emails. I can't even I can't even get my arms around my emails. There's so many phone calls, emails, appointments, things
that I need that I cannot get my arms around. And one of them is Christie's email. She wrote last week she said her dad was a pilot, but we would never take her flying because he didn't want to like injure her in a crash. And she went on to say she's a truck driver, and she said in morning, just listen to the Minnesota Goodbye where you read my email and learn something new about you, Dave. Out of all the years I listened, I never knew you once thought about being a truck
driver. Let a note loan wanting to drive a ken Worth or Peterbilt. With that being said, I would like to take you note only on a cruise, but give you the opportunity to drive as well, obviously a closed course where you couldn't hit anybund or anything. My husband is also a truck driver and he drives a Peter Belt, so you can have your choice of a truck or drive both if I can get his schedule to lineup. I don't want to drive your truck. That would be horrifyingly intimidating to me.
Thank you, though, I can even bring a trailer along so you can get the full experience. The other day, you guys were talking about how far away you would travel to go on a date. Well, my husband and I at one point lives six hours apart, but being truck drivers, that's a Sunday drive to us. Have a great day from Christy. Christy, thanks for your patients. I do want to get back to you instead up the airplane ride in the truck ride, because that would be very cool.
But seriously, you ever get to that point where I wake up in the morning and I'm like, I've got to call Beth, I haven't got to call Chase. I'm supposed to take Jonathan Fogel flying and I've not set up the flight. I've got a guy in texts or in Atlanta who wants to share some radio ideas and he has called me and I've not called him back because I don't have time. Yeah. Then a friend of mine called me to texting me today. She said, my daughter's moving to Colorado.
Can I call you after the show today and talk about what she should know about Colorado? And I said, not today. Yeah, we have a meeting coming up at ten thirty. We have an event tonight. We're busy. I'm going to Taco John's headquarters across the street for like a Taco John's thing at noon today. Want to go, but I don't know if I'm gonna have time for that. Even it's it's just like I said, thanks for stacking up, so Christie, I will get a hold of you.
Thank you very much. I'll tell you this. They did tell us that Taco Johns is bringing in food on Wednesday next week, and it's the day after Star Party. Perfect. There could not be a better day to shovel our fat faces with Taco john than the day after like a long night of working where we're all tired. You just want to eat wrap food. Oh I can't wait. Oh my god, I know what helped it hit. Since they're run across the street, they should still be crispy. I don't
want you know, I understand. I'm gonna call this thoggy Ola. I'm gonna save this email for next time because it is about something we've not brought up before reincarnation, so we will talk about that one. This is also another one that would be better for the show, and this one says Minnesota, goodbye, here we go Jenny in the morning Zoo. I have a question about listening to kd WB on iHeart. You guys have any control over
the songs that played during the morning show. While listening on iHeart, they are old and very repetitive, like to the point where it's the same songs every morning. If I have to hear can't stop the feeling by justin Timberlake one more time, I might chuck my phone at the wall. I don't blame you, how would too? Just wondering if you guys are able to fix the re repetitiveness at all. This really pisses me off. And this Anna in Savage because we again, we talked about this six months ago.
We've talked about it with our boss. We even brought it up this specific because obviously we brought up the casino, but we brought this specific issue. Somebody is not doing their job, and it really pisses me off because the company, rightfully so they got a gold mine with iHeartRadio. It's innovative, it's cool, it works great, but they won't fix the fact that when we're in commercials that can't play over the podcast, over the streaming because the
advertisers haven't paid for that. So in other words, like Coca Cola pays to advertise on the broadcast signal, but not on the podcast. So we play a song filler songs and it's not the smoothest transition. But it pisses me off that somebody somewhere is saying plug iHeartRadio, Plug iHeart Radio, plug iHeart Radio, and it's a genius app, but they can't figure out how. And I think this is the thing Reford that to rich, you know,
I will gets a heart to keep trying. But I think going on, one of the things that makes our show better than a lot of shows is we are experienced radio listeners. Fallon and I grew up listening to the radio of the radio, and so I know what it's like to listen to the radio. I know what it's like to sit there doing your homework and listen to the radio, or to go for a walk or you know, because back in the day, you'd go for a walk with your little transistor
radio in an earbut or your headphones or your sony walkman or whatever. And I know what that's like. And there's some person who's pissing me off, who is sitting in corporate somewhere, who doesn't understand when you turn on iHeartRadio, you don't want to hear justin Timberlake every fucking time. And it pisses me off that somebody has that position that doesn't appreciate what it's like to listen
to the radio. Also, like it affects us overall because we realistically, I mean, you can't talk about this too much, but like there are ratings, you know what I mean. So you want people to listen. You don't want to give anyone a reason to turn off the radio or or app And I know this from personal experience. I listened to a lot of podcasts if they're even if it's my favorite podcast. If they have a shit
audio episode, I can't take it. There was one where the girl where the girl I follow, she was doing her a podcast at a hotel and I don't know what the difference was, but her ss were doing that thing where they're like louder and more whistling than normal. And I don't know why it was like that. Maybe she didn't bring her screen protector over her microphone. But I was like, I can't listen to this, So I just didn't listen to the episode. Because audio is so important. You bet your
ass. If I have to hear justin Timberlake every day, I probably would throw my phone. I don't blame you, Okay, next one again, somebody's caught onto Hi Jenny in the morning Zoo. I listened to Monday's Minnesota Goodbye, where y'all talked about how men leave a trophy turd in the toilet in public places. Oh yeah, we haven't had any response to that yet,
which is surprised. Man, here we go. I asked my husband about that this, wondering if that's specifically a male rest room thing, and he wholeheartedly agreed he's never done it, but he's unfortunately come across several of those instances in public restrooms. I was shocked and dumbfounded. One thing he pointed out was that many times there's never toilet paper in the toilet, so
that means they pooped and didn't wipe. What yikes A Distionally, my husband had a roommate in college who didn't flush after going number two when nobody was home. My husband figured out it was doing it. It was a random roommate he had for a semester who was quite strange and odd, but he never confronted the roommate about not flushing. I unfortunately walked into his college bathroom witnessing it for myself when I was visiting him, and it was quite gross.
We called him the poop bandit flushing his mandatory people. Ha ha. Thanks for letting me write in Mags. Thank you. You know what, I'm glad we're not going to spend a lot of time with guys in trophy turge because to me, that is so disgusting and immature and selfish. That woman's point, though, the fact that we haven't received really any emails tells me it's not as popular as her husband claimed it is. I've never in my life heard of that ever, I didn't ask Jake. Should I ask
Jake? I think you can, but I think Jake would be like, gross, No, I can't even imagine. Well, while you're texting, I will. I don't know if he's gonna answer right away, but we can maybe find out. On the TV show Jury Duty, there is one part where spoiler alert, spoiler alert, spoiler alert, but it doesn't spoil anything because the show is like, there's really no spoilers on Jury Duty, not really. But James Martin is Marsden is in the hotel room working on
a movie script with one of the other characters. James Marsden is like, I got to use your bathroom. I'll begin here for a while, Okay, I'm reading magazine. Yeah, take your time. I'll be in here for a while. And he's like, oh man, I plugged up your toilet and they showed it and it was a giant shit sticking out of the water and it had to been fake because there's nothing that's I've never seen any thing that looked like that. It was sticking up like the Madder Horn in
Disneyland. It was sticking straight out of the water. It was ridiculous, and James Marsden was like, oh, man, don't flush it. It's going to clog up the toilet make a mess. So they had to call a plumber to come by and clean it all up. And I do that to Stall for you. Did you hear anything? Now? What is the matter This is really diffracting? What is the matter Horn in Disneyland. Oh, it's the big giant like Swiss Alps Bob sled ride. Google it really
quick. You'll recognize it in Disneyland or Disneyland. Yeah, Disneyland. When I was in fifth grade, we went to Disneyland with my aunt Donna, my mom, and my brother Carl, and as we're driving through wherever in California, my aunt says, oh, look out the window, there's the matter Horn. And when you're in fifth grade and see the Madder Horn for
the first time, it's otherworldly. It's no magical. So yeah, I tell you why that triggered me. So I've been doing research on Switzerland and I'd heard of the Matterhorn before, but out of context, I didn't I don't know, I didn't realize it was there. And then I saw, Oh, that's I think that's what the tobler Own candy Bar is based on I think so. Yeah, it's some one of the Swiss Alps. Yeah, I think so. And um, anyway, I just started connecting all
these things. So I've and I've never been to Disneyland. I've only been in Disney World. I've been to Universal in California, but not to Disneyland, so I'd never seen that in person before, and it's kind of it's it. Why did they choose the matter Horn of all the I don't know if it's good it's but it's got a roller coaster built into it and um, and it's really cool. They used to have a skyway, like the State Fair Skyway. It went through it, and I don't think they do
anymore. But the Matterhorn is a pretty dope ass ride. Disneyland is great because it's small and compact, but it's so it's Disneyland. It's so cool. Um. Just to leave off on the podcast, Chase and I went to Disneyland when he was sixteen years old. We stayed at a really cool hotel on Sunset Boulevard and we went to Universal, which did not impress Chase at all. He did not care about Universal Studios. And it's sixteen years old. He should have really liked it, but he just didn't really you
know, didn't really care, but he loved Disneyland. So anyway, that is it for the Minnesota. Goodbye. Thank you for listening. If we didn't get to your email, we'll try to get to it tomorrow. And if you want to follow up on we got one more day of poop stories poop trophies and we are all done with banning books that we should be done with poop stories because that was two days ago. All right, that's it for the Minnesota. Goodbye, thank you for listening.
