Transcript

Well, here's a special occasion on the Minnesota Goodbye. We have several guests here on the Minnesota Goodbye. Welcome Jenny Weather or Jenny Hello. And also here is Amazing Bailey. So what'd you say? What up? What a fool? I don't know? Okay, I think you said foo though, which is what you like? I don't know. It's from movies? What uf foo? What's it from? It sounds like a character from the seventies called mister T. Yeah, that sounds right. I pitied early two thousands

people would like talk weird like that. How do you know? I pity the fool because that's mister T from the A Team in like nineteen eighty one. Did he say that? I know? Did he say that in Rocky though? Because I used to watch? Oh, likely he did. He was in high school. His character was named clubber Lang, Yes, Clubber Lang in Rocky two three? Or was the Russian guy dollar Gren? I want to say, wait, that's also that's also mister T. I'll kill you to death? No, no, no, I could, I don't

know. I don't know. Gosh, let's on Rocky Talk. Thanks for coming to Let's talk, all right? Who was the first opponent in Rocky number one? Who was his first opponent? Anybody? How do you know that shit? I love? I used to wake up early in high school to watch Rocky before school, so I'd wake up at like five am to watch Rocky. You had priority. You should have been doing homework, I know, but I was watching Rocky. Wow. All right, let's dive

in. Today is a naughty Tuesday. We will probably get into the naughty Tuesday business here in a little bit, but in the meantime, let me scroll down and find some stuff. Dave, Jenny, Drake, and Bailey. You're not included, but in spirit you are. Please don't say my name. I wanted to write and say thank you for everything you do. I've recently been dealing with random spouts of pretty severe anxiety that makes my day

to day tasks delibabilitating. I try to do all the things to combat it, exercise, folding, laundry, random chores, basically anything to get my mind into a calmer place. But the only thing that I consistently used to put my mind at ease is listening to you guys, your podcast in the Minnesota Goodbye Wow. Yeah, that's really touching. I mean that that is. I mean, if you're struggling so much that the other things aren't working, but we do that, thank you, That makes our whole thing worthwhile

to make somebody's life a little bit better. They say it doesn't cure the anxiety, but it's the only thing I found that always at least helps. What you do means more than you probably already or ever know. I don't know what I would do without you all. Thank you all so much, love me, thanks for sharing that. You know, it's interesting to me that the other things don't work for you, And I think that you know, taking your mind off of anything is a great powerful thing to do.

If you find yourself going, I my heart's broken, my heart's broken, or I'm so anxious or whatever, and then you can spend half an hour not thinking about that, and then you look back and go, oh, I haven't thought about my heartbreak in half an hour. Yeah that, And I'm sure it's a comfort to like go back to something that you're used to, and if you've been listening for a while, then you just go back, and you know, it's nice to you know, take your mind off

of it. But it can be comforting too, which is I agree with for sure. Well, they say that this might not ring true as much now, but I read or saw something a long time ago that when Jay Leno hosted The Tonight Show, and it probably applies now, whether it's Seth Myers or whoever. If you watch it at home and then you're on a business trip in I don't know, Jacksonville, Florida, you go to your

room and you watch that show. It's comforting because it reminds you of laying in your bed at home, and wherever you are in the country, you can watch Seth Yeah, and feel that comfort because you're watching that show just like you do in your bedroom, reminded of your routine. Routine is comforting, Yes, all right. Next one, Oh my god, listening to

the Minnesota Goodbye, you're talking about the husband not telling the wife. This was yesterday about the tax debt, and asked to hear from anybody who's listening who might have been in a similar situation. Buckle up. Here are just a few of the financial items my very much ex husband hid from me. He grossly abused student loans to the tune of two hundred and five thousand yep. Basically a second house worth of debt. I learned this from my attorney

after our first day in front of a judge. I knew it was high, but I had no idea it was vacation home high. He kept it all under a separate account I had no access to, and insisted it was to keep his student loan intuition reimbursement money from getting tangled in our day to day finances. Woof. He took out two joint credit cards without my knowledge. We had two four emergencies that I was aware of, and it assumed were being kept in a nightstand drawer, but somewhere along the way he moved

them to his wallet. By the time he had to disclose all of our finances to my attorney, suddenly there were not two, but four total credit cards, all maxed out to the tune of sixteen thousand YEA for golf and name brands, BOO for new tires and emergency vet bills. I digress. Finally, taxes. I asked repeatedly to have our taxiles handed by a professional. He said, no, do it myself. He's a business major with a minor in accounting. After all, whelp, you guessed it. He

took liberties with the deductions and write offs, and we were audited. We owed twelve thousand dollars to the IRS. But wait, there's more. Apparently the IRS and Minnesota are best. He's in the tax world, so the state caught wind and audited us as well. Another twelve thousand out the door

ode in back taxes. My favorite part of the tax story. During the first audit, he had an in person appointment of the IRS offices to discuss our case, came home and was gloating that he got our amount reduced by half. How by flirting with the IRS woman, he said, he turned on the old charm and since she was cougar age, that did the trick. Yep, he's that guy puke. Anyway, a second person had to review and sign off on her assessment, so, needless to say, the

amount ode went right back up to twelve thousand. Gone. I'm getting angry just reading this one, so I know it's getting long. I'd like to say, in my defense, I was nineteen when we met, super young, super trusting, super naive. He was hot. I happily let him handle the finances while I handled all the kid family stuff. I totally take responsibility for not pressing harder to be involved in our finances. But now seeing him without the rose colored glasses on, he would have just lied anyway.

Report that his new wife thankfully and very wisely got a prenup goes without saying. But I'm a talker here, so here goes love y'all the smither Rings can't imagine my mornings without you. Congratulations on thirty years, Dave, but we're gonna need you to stick around for at least another thirty k thanks by wow, that's horrible. And she trusted him because he was in finance, yeah, and a business major. But he was hot. Yeah, we

do forgive a lot of things for being hot. And ILL feel like there's such a stigma against getting a prenup because it makes you feel like, oh, that person doesn't love you enough to trust you. But man, I have seen some nasty things happen when you thought that you were going to be civil and now someone's lost like thousands and thousands of dollars because there was no

prenup involved. Like truly, I think if Andrew and I got married, I would be okay if he asked me for one, or if I put out the idea because once you become married, like my property is his, his property is mine. And he worked really hard to own investment properties himself, and I worked hard to own my house. And I just think that, like, you never know what might happen. If something goes bad, then like by the state of Minnesota, everything's split or whatever. So I

just think prenups are important. Like I obviously would hope nothing bad ever happens in a relationship, but I think it also protects you. I think that, Yeah, I mean it's the old thing. I don't want to get a prenup because I want to work out. I want to make to work out. I don't want to, like you know, set myself up for failure. But I mean, anything can go wrong. You might be invested in the relationship for life, but they might change their mind, and you

never know until you're like in it. So I would never trust anyone that much to not get a prenup. Just do it. Might as well. Susan and I when we got together, we were you know, I made more than her, but she made a lot of money. But we didn't ever consider we're pretty much the same financially. Susan did kind of f me over. I think one time, I don't know that. I told you you don't know this, Bailey, you probably heard it. Yeah, when I sold my dad's house when he died, we sold his house and I

got one hundred seventy thousand dollars. It wasn't a lot, you know. One hundred and seventy thousand dollars for a house now is not a lot of house. But this was twenty years ago. But I got one hundred and seventy thousand. We had to reinvest it in real estate or pay taxes.

So we looked at a cab and we didn't want a cab. And we looked at a house in Richfield and it was a dump, and so we Susan found an office building in Florida that she sunk the money into, and the guy that sold her on it said, yeah, well, you invest this one hundred and seventy thousand dollars, you will not only see it grow, but you're going to get a check for nine hundred dollars or one thousand dollars every month just for being Wow. Wow, that's cool. Sounds nice.

Nine hundred dollars free and clear every month. Nice. A couple of months, we get the nine hundred dollars check. Then the nine hundred dollars check stops coming. Well, they're struggling a little bit. It's not at full capacity, so it's struggling a little bit. And then pretty soon the value starts going down. And the other investors sued this company because they looked at the building. The building was a dump. It was half empty.

And we lost all one hundred seventy thousand dollars, all of it, every penny. Yeah, And I had told Susan, I said, let's not trust this guy. If it's such a good investment, he wouldn't be selling it, he'd be buying it himself, right, And she's like, no, no, no, And so it wasn't a devious move on her part. It just was something we didn't agree on. I guess she was, Yeah, she was a little bit too trusting of the s random stranger guy.

And she's expecting the best out of people when she probably should have expected the worst. Expect the worst out of people. You expect the worst. And maybe that's how I've gotten into bad friendships or relationships or something, But I do always expect the best out of people. It's just like you want to believe that someone is truthful, so that's our default. I read a book about that. I might have been called Blink. I'm not sure.

It's by Malcolm Gladwell. And we default too good, so when somebody I don't know, it's kind of like a little kid when somebody says, yeah, your mom told me to come and pick you up from school. Well, you default too good. You don't default too bad. That's our nature, is default too good. So you can't be too hard on yourself when you do next one longtime listener, big fan of the show. I don't

know where to turn, so I'm reaching out in hopes of answers. My husband and I've been married for almost twenty years, three beautiful kids, problem last six months, trouble with the love life. Let's just say when we do it it would be great, and then in the middle, before I am done or him, he won't be able to be erect and would stop. This has made me feel insecure and a bit sad. I'm five to one, one hundred and twenty pounds, so maybe I'm a little bit heavy.

That's not heavy, seriously, even at five foot one, and that might have some effects on him. He told me several occasions it's not me, it's him, but that doesn't reassure me. I have no one to turn to and had to do some research on my own regarding the symptoms that he shared with the stress, alcohol, etc. And when I did a search on the internet, it came up as I irrectiled this function. Please

help, Please do not use my name. Okay, first of all, if you've been married for twenty years, I'm gonna guess you're probably forty ish or older. If he's not healthy, if he is drinking and stressed, it is very, very possible that he has the desire to be there, but it just ain't happening. So he could be like, yeah, let's

do this, let's go, and it's not happening. It sounds like you're having a hard time bringing this up with him because he doesn't want to talk about it, because it's hard for a guy to talk about not being able to do that. Yeah, So I would say the best thing as you can talk to him and say, hey, it's not doesn't make you less of a man, less of a lover, but if you've got a problem, then maybe you should see a doctor. Get the little blue pill.

Well, and also especially in that situation, like look at she's thinking that she's the issue, He's probably thinking he's the issue, and in reality they just have to look for a solution. Yeah, you know, it's so it's so unfortunate because they probably both are so in their heads about it. And honestly, there are times when Susan and I will be like you want to no, no, just not really He's like, no, you want to no? We know sometimes it just as the way it is, all

right, naughty Tuesday, and here we go. Oh, by the way, let's go back. One more about the taxes and the finances. Very short one from Rachel. I'm listening to today's Minnesota Goodbye and heard the email regarding a wife having to pay her husband's back taxes. I'm an enrolled agent public account and want to let her know she can fight fight this by filing for injured spouse relief even if she filed married filing jointly, her tax prepares

should be able to help with this. Please share this with her, as that's a lot of money that she might not have to pay. Love you guys from Rachel. Thank you Rachel. You're ready for Naughty Tuesday. Do it okay, Please don't say my name. This story takes place when I was seventeen, maybe even sixteen. I was with my boyfriend at the time for a few years and would go on trips with his family. They had

a big RV we'd go camping. This one particular trip, it was me, him, his mom, and little sister in the RV and we were meeting everybody else at the campsite. Pretty big RV with the bedroom in the very back with the door that shut. His mom was driving, sister sitting in the living area of the RV, and him and I were in the back room watching a movie. We were not watching a movie. Thinking back on it now, I can't believe how we did that and have no fear

of getting busted. His poor mom driving this RV, having no idea what was going on in the back. His sister could have walked back there anytime, and we just didn't give a shit. Signed young and dumb. Okay, that's a cute Naughty Tuesday story. I thought it was going to get a lot dirtier. You got you find you find places when you're young to do things that you would never like. You look back and you're like,

wow, how was I not scared of being calm? But it was because there your hormones were raging and you had you don't You weren't by yourself often when you were a child, so even a teenager. So it's like you did it when you could where you could. Yeah, we've all been there.

I think the most The most risky place I ever did was on my mom and dad's living room floor while they were down the hall sleeping, and Dad could have woke up anytime, walked around the corner, and there I would have been on top of Candy, the one who burned down the daycare. Oh yes, And I think about that later, and I wonder sometimes did my dad actually hear us get up, walk around the corner see us and not know what to do? How awkward that would have been for Dad

to be like, hey, get off of her right now. So I don't know with the newspaper, get off all right? Anything else that we forgot anything anybody wants to add on the Minnesota Goodbye? No, we got to wrap up anyways. Let's wrap up perfect timing. Send your emails to ryanshow at KDIWB dot com. I got a bunch of staff staff writers stickers, so we're good. If you need one, send that in ask for a staff writer sticker and include your address, Ryan Show at kadiwb dot com
