1 00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:04,280 Speaker 1: All right, here we go Minnesota Goodbye. We'd asked yesterday, 2 00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:05,680 Speaker 1: we said, hey, what do you think we did? Like 3 00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:09,239 Speaker 1: a live Minnesota Goodbye? And we like charged the admission to 4 00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:12,479 Speaker 1: get into for Christmas Wish and maybe twenty five bucks. 5 00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:15,440 Speaker 1: And so we got some good responses and I think 6 00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:17,000 Speaker 1: we'll probably do it, but we're kind of feeling our 7 00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:19,360 Speaker 1: way blindly through it. We don't know how to reserve spots, 8 00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:20,680 Speaker 1: and we don't just want to open up the doors. 9 00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:22,680 Speaker 1: What if we had too many people show up? Or 10 00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:24,480 Speaker 1: what if not enough people showed up? You know, if 11 00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:27,200 Speaker 1: six people showed up, we'd still do it. I don't care. 12 00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:31,000 Speaker 1: So Jackie writes in from South Saint Paul. I think 13 00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:32,680 Speaker 1: it'd be really fun to do a live session for 14 00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:36,320 Speaker 1: the Minnesota Goodbye is a fundraiser for Christmas Wish, especially 15 00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:39,199 Speaker 1: if offered after regular work hours. Count me in. I'd 16 00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:42,519 Speaker 1: pay twenty five bucks and I donate something beyond that too, 17 00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:44,760 Speaker 1: if that's an option. Of course, I love the show 18 00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:46,559 Speaker 1: and I love the pod just as much. What a 19 00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,080 Speaker 1: fun idea and a way to engage with your fan 20 00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:52,320 Speaker 1: base of the podcast, especially if Wannita and Secretary bre 21 00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:56,760 Speaker 1: you make an appearance. Hell yeah, and in person rant yes, 22 00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:01,240 Speaker 1: speaking of a ramp back jan Nita got pissed the 23 00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:03,960 Speaker 1: fuck off, that's what her phrase is by the dinging 24 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,000 Speaker 1: in her car when items are in the back seat 25 00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:08,640 Speaker 1: while she was exiting her car. Of course that would 26 00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:10,600 Speaker 1: piss me the fuck off too. But I'll bet it's 27 00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,000 Speaker 1: a safety feature for parents to not leave their kid 28 00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:16,600 Speaker 1: in the back seat accidentally. Oh so if you leave 29 00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:19,759 Speaker 1: like a heavy bag of groceries in the back seat, yeah, 30 00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:21,679 Speaker 1: it'll ding and say, oh, there's a kid in. 31 00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:22,840 Speaker 2: The there's something back here. 32 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:26,199 Speaker 1: I see. I'll bet why need His kids are older, 33 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:29,360 Speaker 1: so it isn't really on a radar forgetting a little 34 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:30,440 Speaker 1: kiddo in the back seat. 35 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:31,880 Speaker 3: I feel like you should be able to shut that 36 00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,520 Speaker 3: off because mine would ding constantly. I have so much 37 00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 3: crap in my back seat. 38 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, I ever have a lot of crap in your 39 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:38,039 Speaker 1: back seat. 40 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:41,000 Speaker 3: It's just that it's like an extra house on wheels 41 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,040 Speaker 3: to me, and so I just storage fine. 42 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:46,720 Speaker 1: Love the show. I've written in a handful of times 43 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:48,440 Speaker 1: over the past few years, and even had one of 44 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 1: my email topics brought to the radio Mother's Day hot take. 45 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 1: My kids thought I was pretty cool for being on 46 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,240 Speaker 1: the radio. Could I please have a staff writer sticker 47 00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,520 Speaker 1: address below? Thanks for doing all you do bringing laughs 48 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 1: enjoyed from Jackie. Jackie staff writer sticker is on its way. 49 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:09,320 Speaker 1: Next one, Hey, don't say my name. I have some 50 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 1: questions for Dave about writing your books. Number one, how 51 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:16,400 Speaker 1: long did it take you to write each book? It 52 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:20,640 Speaker 1: took I think for the first one a few years 53 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 1: because I gave up. And then a friend of mine 54 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,960 Speaker 1: who's a life coach, inspired me by saying something like, 55 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 1: how will you feel when it's done? And I'm like, oh, 56 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:29,640 Speaker 1: that kind of what got me moving on it, and 57 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:31,120 Speaker 1: so I would write when I could. I had a 58 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 1: tiny little iPad mini with a tiny little miniature pain 59 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:36,000 Speaker 1: in the ass keyboard, and I wrote a lot of 60 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:38,520 Speaker 1: it on that. Wow, how did you find a publisher? 61 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 1: It is self published. If you're trying to find a publisher, 62 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 1: good luck. I mean, I don't know how an unknown 63 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:48,639 Speaker 1: author gets published. But self publishing costs a few thousand 64 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:52,360 Speaker 1: dollars depending on the options number of books you want printed. 65 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:54,880 Speaker 1: But the place that I go to is whyse ink 66 00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:58,400 Speaker 1: I nk Wyse Inc. Make sure you tell him I 67 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,680 Speaker 1: sent you. Is it a long process or expensive? Yes, 68 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,960 Speaker 1: any advice. My boyfriend is wanting to get his book published, 69 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:06,960 Speaker 1: but it isn't sure where to start. Well, I would 70 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:10,120 Speaker 1: only say, and I keep this brief. Why does he 71 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,520 Speaker 1: want it published? Does he want to make a living 72 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 1: out of it? Is he planning on being a well 73 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,840 Speaker 1: known author and going on tour and doing signings at 74 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 1: Barnes and Noble, or does he just want to hold 75 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 1: a book in his hand that he says I wrote? 76 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 1: How many copies do you want? Will anybody buy your book? 77 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 1: A good friend of mine wrote a book about being single, 78 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:29,920 Speaker 1: and she really thought it was going to be her 79 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,679 Speaker 1: new career. She wrote this book, she got it published, 80 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 1: and she really thought that she would be a book 81 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:40,360 Speaker 1: tour author, selling books, doing speeches for a career. Did 82 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 1: not happen that way. 83 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 2: Hmm. 84 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 1: Mine sold a lot because I have a platform to 85 00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 1: talk about it. And if you don't have a platform 86 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 1: to talk about it, figure out why you want to 87 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 1: write one. If you're writing one, I think. I know. 88 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 1: There's a friend of mine in California and she's like, 89 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 1: I'm writing a book about my life. My life has 90 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 1: been so interesting and so messed up. I'm going to 91 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 1: write a book, and I'm like, write your book, write 92 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 1: it for you, though nobody's going to want to buy 93 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,680 Speaker 1: your book, And that's kind of a harsh thing to say. Yeah, 94 00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 1: but nobody wants to buy your book. 95 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 3: You do kind of have to have some kind of 96 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 3: platform or name to get like an instant buy in. 97 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:18,920 Speaker 3: But I also think it's not just writing the book 98 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:22,599 Speaker 3: and having it be like well written necessarily, but also 99 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 3: part of it is the hustle. So like you also 100 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 3: have to market your book and like bring your book 101 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:33,000 Speaker 3: to publishers or like to I don't know whatever, I 102 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:36,800 Speaker 3: don't know that whole world. But like you can't just say, hey, 103 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,599 Speaker 3: I have a book, and here who wants to read it. 104 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 3: It's like, hey, I have a book, and now I 105 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 3: have to go to all these different places to try 106 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 3: and get people to read it. Or yeah, put it 107 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 3: in a bunch of little libraries and hope someone grabs it, 108 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:47,920 Speaker 3: and bring it to book clubs and all of that 109 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:48,600 Speaker 3: kind of stuff. I think. 110 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:50,320 Speaker 1: So, there's so many ways to market your book, and 111 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:52,360 Speaker 1: a lot of the time, the good news is marketing 112 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,680 Speaker 1: can be free on social media. Well, the problem is, 113 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:59,160 Speaker 1: let's say you put up Bailey's book At Bailey's Book 114 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:03,719 Speaker 1: on Instagram, you get sixteen followers right exactly, and again 115 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 1: it's it's hard to stand out. It's like a podcast. 116 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 1: Anybody with electricity and a computer and internet can do 117 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 1: a podcast. Well, most people do one or two realize 118 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:16,560 Speaker 1: they had fourteen. A friend of mine asked me the 119 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:18,760 Speaker 1: other day. They said, Hey, me and my buddy do 120 00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 1: a podcast. Will you be on my podcast? And I 121 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:23,680 Speaker 1: mean to answer him, and I probably will because he's 122 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,400 Speaker 1: kind of a friend from a long time ago. I 123 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 1: don't want to be on his podcast. I looked at 124 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 1: his views on YouTube. He's had forty three viewers. It's 125 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 1: not worth it. Yeah, you know, it's more like a favor. 126 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:36,600 Speaker 1: But I don't want to be on his podcast. 127 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 3: Why not? 128 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:38,600 Speaker 2: Why don't you want to be on his podcast? He's 129 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 2: your friend, he's your best friend. 130 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:43,039 Speaker 1: He's not my best friend, he's a guy. I'm tired 131 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 1: of people asking me for fucking favors. To be honest 132 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 1: with you, yeah, I'm really fucking tired of people asking 133 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,479 Speaker 1: me for favors, and sometimes in the public. You know 134 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 1: what we do. Dave, can I get concert tickets?

What 144 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 1: have you done for me lately? To quote Janet Jackson, 145 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:21,720 Speaker 1: it's like, I don't expect you to reciprocate, but it's like, 146 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 1: what the fuck do something nice for me once in 147 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:24,919 Speaker 1: a while. 148 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:26,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, Bill you? 149 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:26,279 Speaker 3: Yeah? 150 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,240 Speaker 1: Yeah? All right? Next one, How bitter does that make 151 00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:33,200 Speaker 1: me sound? What a fucking bitter old queen? All right? 152 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:36,360 Speaker 1: Page writes in as listen Monday's podcast, Oh Here it Is, 153 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,160 Speaker 1: Dave shared a story about a friend who scolded him 154 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:43,119 Speaker 1: for not donating to her go fund me. It really 155 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 1: made me think about the expectation to donate anytime there's 156 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:49,359 Speaker 1: a GoFundMe. Is this something that's expected now? Is it 157 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 1: because we have access to everyone in their woes? Twenty 158 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 1: four to seven? What happened before gofund me? Was there 159 00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 1: some other platform, maybe email chains? When did this expectation 160 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:01,919 Speaker 1: of having people cover your expenses become the norm. Maybe 161 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,520 Speaker 1: because I was a child, I don't recall other parents 162 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:06,920 Speaker 1: ever talking about donating money to people in a go 163 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 1: fundme fashion. I'm not directing these questions necessarily to all 164 00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,840 Speaker 1: of the Go fundme requests. Emergencies happened. Support is needed 165 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 1: at times, But how did people in the early two 166 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,600 Speaker 1: thousands get by when there was an emergency? Not trying 167 00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 1: to make it seem like I don't knownate, donate or 168 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,520 Speaker 1: support people's causes, it just seems like there is a 169 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:29,240 Speaker 1: Go fundme for everything.

Next one. Don't say 218 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:48,840 Speaker 1: my name. Dave. Your story about your friend asking for 219 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,640 Speaker 1: money and reminded me of when a friend I had 220 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 1: not seen in ten years reached out to me for money. 221 00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:57,480 Speaker 1: I'm going to leave details out in case she listens. 222 00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:59,600 Speaker 1: I saw her at a local hobby store that sells 223 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:03,880 Speaker 1: product that people spend disposable income on We said hi, 224 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,400 Speaker 1: and that was it. The next day I got a 225 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:10,160 Speaker 1: Facebook message from her asking for gas money. Since she 226 00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:13,160 Speaker 1: works far away and limited her work hours due to 227 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,720 Speaker 1: health problems. I'm more than willing to help, but I 228 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:18,600 Speaker 1: was puzzled because I saw her at the hobby store. 229 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:22,200 Speaker 1: Surely you don't need the money if you're shopping at 230 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:26,040 Speaker 1: a hobby store, right Anyway, I sent her fifty bucks 231 00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:28,720 Speaker 1: and she was very thankful. Less than a year later, 232 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:30,840 Speaker 1: she posted pictures on Facebook of her and her husband 233 00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:33,440 Speaker 1: getting married at a very nice venue with over one 234 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:35,760 Speaker 1: hundred friends and family members its guests. But I was 235 00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:39,040 Speaker 1: not invited. I wouldn't have gone anyway. But if she 236 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:42,040 Speaker 1: was thankful for my donation, why wasn't I invited? If 237 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,319 Speaker 1: she's got so many close friends and family at her wedding, 238 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:46,640 Speaker 1: why didn't she ask them first? Could it be that 239 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,360 Speaker 1: she was too embarrassed as spend but asked me because 240 00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:51,760 Speaker 1: I wasn't a close friend. How could she afford a 241 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,680 Speaker 1: nice wedding? But eight months prior asked me for gas money. 242 00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 1: I gave without expecting anything. Returns only fifty bucks. But 243 00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:01,000 Speaker 1: that's something that baffles me to this day. What is 244 00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,400 Speaker 1: your perspective on this love the show. Thanks for reading. 245 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:05,079 Speaker 1: I'm going to guess that she is one of those 246 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:09,320 Speaker 1: people that is always short of money and her friends 247 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:13,480 Speaker 1: are tired of her asking. Yeah, somehow for her wedding, 248 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:17,440 Speaker 1: she scraped it together. Maybe her dad pitched in or 249 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:20,120 Speaker 1: his mom pitched in or something, so they had a 250 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:22,000 Speaker 1: you know, one hundred people is a good number of 251 00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:24,280 Speaker 1: people at a wedding, Yeah, but it's not a three 252 00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:28,320 Speaker 1: hundred person wedding at the country club, you know.
