1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:06,360 Speaker 1: All right, let's dive into today's Minnesota Goodbye. This says 2 00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:08,560 Speaker 1: from Sid, who was a big contributor to the show. 3 00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:12,320 Speaker 1: We love the regulars, we love newbies, so thank you Sid. 4 00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:16,000 Speaker 1: Random questions, here we go, Jenny, can you clarify what's 5 00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:19,760 Speaker 1: happening regarding Tina used to work here? Her regular Instagram 6 00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:21,919 Speaker 1: posts about her wedding and in her wedding dress with 7 00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:25,079 Speaker 1: her husband, But on I'm still fun you and fall 8 00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:27,640 Speaker 1: and talk about how you're still preparing to attend Tina's wedding. 9 00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:31,120 Speaker 1: I'm confused and appreciate your clarification. Not that I have 10 00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:32,840 Speaker 1: to know, but as a fan, I am curious. 11 00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:36,000 Speaker 2: Tina got legally married back in September. I think it 12 00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:38,480 Speaker 2: was at the courthouse, but their actual wedding that they're 13 00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:41,960 Speaker 2: having to celebrate is going to be at a tropical 14 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:45,000 Speaker 2: destination in at the end of January, so that is 15 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,520 Speaker 2: the wedding that we're talking about, which I honestly didn't 16 00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:50,639 Speaker 2: know she was doing the courthouse wedding so early. But yeah, 17 00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:54,640 Speaker 2: she is legally married already, but her actual wedding wedding 18 00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:56,080 Speaker 2: with friends and family is happening. 19 00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:59,360 Speaker 1: Any idea why she got married so subtly early. 20 00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,600 Speaker 2: No, I think they just had to get in to 21 00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:06,480 Speaker 2: get it done, and so I'm sure timing just worked 22 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:08,120 Speaker 2: out the best time to do it at the time 23 00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:11,800 Speaker 2: they did, okay, because they still celebrated and did like 24 00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,600 Speaker 2: something with their very close family for that, so it 25 00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:16,720 Speaker 2: still was like a coordination where they did like a 26 00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,280 Speaker 2: dinner and stuff like that, because she still got dressed 27 00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:20,880 Speaker 2: up in a wedding and dress and stuff like that. 28 00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:24,800 Speaker 1: Okay, Bailey, did you figure out if you could strategically 29 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,840 Speaker 1: place ads in the podcast? I agree they're annoying excessively 30 00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,320 Speaker 1: long for a less than twenty minute podcast, But the 31 00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,160 Speaker 1: bigger complaint is the sound levels. I have that knob 32 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:36,399 Speaker 1: turned up to hear the Minnesota Goodbye, then bam, somebody 33 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,640 Speaker 1: is saying athlete wrong and screaming and waking the dead. 34 00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,119 Speaker 1: I fully acknowledge the benefits of ads, and I'm way 35 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,040 Speaker 1: too cheap to ever pay for a service without ads, 36 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 1: but the sound levels could be improved. Also, just a 37 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:50,160 Speaker 1: feedback note, while Nita's rant on Wednesday was barely audible, 38 00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 1: maybe just an issue for me, No, that was my 39 00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 1: fault because since people have brought that up, I have 40 00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 1: gone back and boosted her level and I simply forgot. Okay, 41 00:01:58,480 --> 00:01:59,240 Speaker 1: so that was my bad. 42 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, the ads have I figured it out for so 43 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,440 Speaker 3: the Minnesota goodbye, and then like our Christmas wish, when 44 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,040 Speaker 3: I like upload that, I know exactly where I can 45 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:10,520 Speaker 3: place the ad and so I can play it, hear it, 46 00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,600 Speaker 3: pick the best spot for the ad, throw it in volume. 47 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:18,800 Speaker 3: I have absolutely no control over any volume whatsoever. 48 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:23,959 Speaker 2: Can you adjust the volume? Oh no, that's what the commercial? 49 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:24,399 Speaker 2: Never mind? 50 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,080 Speaker 3: Never mind, Yeah, for the commercial. I have no idea. 51 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,000 Speaker 3: I don't even I just know that I placed them, 52 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,519 Speaker 3: and that's all I know how to do at all. 53 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 1: Number three, Dave, I don't want you to feel left out, 54 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 1: so I'll ask, how dare you? Well? I didn't really 55 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:40,360 Speaker 1: see the consequences of my actions before I took the leap, 56 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 1: before you dared, I didn't have any idea that there 57 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 1: would be a number one of fire, number two slingshot injuries, 58 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 1: and a number three bankruptcy. I really had no idea. 59 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 3: But if you don't dare to dream, how can you 60 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 3: ever achieve your goals? Truly? 61 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,800 Speaker 1: Yes, it's true. Love staff writer Sidney, Thank you, Sydney. 62 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:02,080 Speaker 1: Always a fun one. Here is one from Nate. My 63 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 1: name is Nathan, but I'm also referred to as my 64 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,440 Speaker 1: buddy Nate by Dave on the radio, and I'm brought 65 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,080 Speaker 1: up for my daily wordal connections in strand score sharing. 66 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 1: But I am also a teacher and Apple genius. Now, 67 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 1: Nate does present a problem that I pre read, and 68 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:18,800 Speaker 1: I'm not going to go through it because Nate, I'm 69 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,960 Speaker 1: going to be really frank with you. It doesn't translate 70 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 1: as well on the radio. It'd be kind of more 71 00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 1: fun to do in person. But I'll read what he describes. 72 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 1: I'm helping a student with a math problem today. It 73 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:29,840 Speaker 1: reminded me of an old segment Morning Show does math, 74 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 1: So I thought, when I came across a question got 75 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:33,359 Speaker 1: a chuckle out of it, i'd send it your way 76 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:35,040 Speaker 1: to see if you'd be able to get it. Here 77 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:38,160 Speaker 1: it is jan Nita's boss told her that once she 78 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 1: has worked with the company for ten years, her salary 79 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 1: will be increased to three times what she makes now 80 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 1: plus two thousand dollars if s represents her original salary, 81 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 1: which expression represents what her salary will be after ten 82 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 1: years at the company. Now I can try this and 83 00:03:55,440 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 1: see what happens. One thirds plus two thousand, start fraction 84 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 1: three over and see, Nate, I'm sorry, it just doesn't 85 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 1: translate because unless you're listening with a pencil and paper, 86 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 1: I don't know, but you would you, Jenny, you're pretty 87 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 1: good at mass. 88 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 3: Would you get there? 89 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,040 Speaker 1: Would you be able to write out a fraction that 90 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 1: represents what her salary will be? If S represents her 91 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 1: original salary. 92 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:27,040 Speaker 2: So after ten years, she'll make three times her original 93 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:28,840 Speaker 2: salary plus two thousand, So that. 94 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:30,800 Speaker 1: Would the answer number? See that, Nate gets it and 95 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 1: you got it exactly correct? Yes, so three S plus 96 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:34,600 Speaker 1: two thousand? 97 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:35,800 Speaker 3: Wow? 98 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, so instead of a multiple choice, I think 99 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 1: it'd be just easier. And that's what I would have 100 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:44,800 Speaker 1: come up to with two three S three salary plus 101 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 1: two thousand, right, yeah. 102 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,120 Speaker 2: I mean I wasn't sure if it was more complicated 103 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,160 Speaker 2: than that, so that's why I was like, I don't. 104 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:54,280 Speaker 1: Know, but well I think that. Yeah. So Nate, thank 105 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:55,680 Speaker 1: you for that one. In case you weren't sure. The 106 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,000 Speaker 1: answer is ce. But what kind of place is one 107 00:04:58,080 --> 00:04:59,720 Speaker 1: need to work and actually gets at three hundred percent 108 00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 1: rate in ten years? That's an average of thirty percent 109 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,479 Speaker 1: raise each year in this economy. If she started making 110 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 1: fifty thousand a year and ten years she'd be making 111 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:09,800 Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty thousand, and she gets a two 112 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 1: thousand dollars bonus. Like a lot of teachers' unions were 113 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 1: in the middle of negotiating contracts, we came to the 114 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 1: bargaining table with a proposal like this, we'd be laughed 115 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 1: out of the building. I know it's all made up, 116 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 1: but giving kids this kind of problem that's supposed to 117 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 1: be representative of a real life situation should be at 118 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:28,360 Speaker 1: the very least plausible. As Juanita herself would say, that 119 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,240 Speaker 1: shit pisses me the fuck off. Anyway, that's my rant 120 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 1: for the day. I hope you have a great day. 121 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:34,440 Speaker 1: Thank you for making each day brighter with your witty, 122 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:44,360 Speaker 1: banter and relatable stories. Love y'all. From Nate Thanking Nate. I, yeah, 123 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:46,599 Speaker 1: it's kind of funny. I'm gonna tell you a quick 124 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,560 Speaker 1: salary story. You want to hear it? Yeah, true story. 125 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 1: And I might have told this before, but it's just 126 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 1: kind of the shit that managers do. So there was 127 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 1: a guy that I worked with and I'm not gonna 128 00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:58,680 Speaker 1: say where because I don't want to incriminate anybody. But 129 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 1: this guy was a great guy. He had worked here 130 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 1: successfully for a few years, and he went in to 131 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,559 Speaker 1: ask for a raise. So they go, okay, well here's 132 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:08,480 Speaker 1: what we can give you. And now let's throats and numbers. 133 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:10,679 Speaker 1: Just to make it fun. Let's say he was making 134 00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,640 Speaker 1: fifty thousand dollars a year. And let's say he goes 135 00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 1: in and he says, you know what, I want to 136 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 1: sign a new contract. Can I make seventy five thousand 137 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 1: dollars a year? The boss says, no, I don't have 138 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,599 Speaker 1: that kind of money. And the guy says, well, you 139 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 1: can't pay me seventy five I've worked here for you know, 140 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 1: three years. I've done a great job. Can you give 141 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:31,840 Speaker 1: me seventy five thousand dollars a year? He's like, I 142 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,200 Speaker 1: don't have it. Let me prove it to you. So 143 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:39,000 Speaker 1: he calls the bookkeeping department and he says, hey, hey, 144 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,680 Speaker 1: it's the boss. I'm just curious how much do we 145 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 1: have to pay this guy? And she didn't know that 146 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 1: the guy was there in the room. Okay, and she says, oh, 147 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 1: well fifty five thousand. He's like, okay, thank you. So 148 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:52,840 Speaker 1: he hangs up and he says, see, that's all we've 149 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:57,040 Speaker 1: got is fifty five thousand. So the guy accepted fifty 150 00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:57,640 Speaker 1: five thousand. 151 00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:58,520 Speaker 3: Yeah. 152 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,800 Speaker 1: A few weeks later, at the station party, the bookkeeper 153 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:05,160 Speaker 1: comes over to this guy and says, that was a setup. 154 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:08,080 Speaker 1: He told me he was going to call, and he 155 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:10,800 Speaker 1: told me to lie and say that fifty five thousand 156 00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:11,960 Speaker 1: was all we could afford to pay. 157 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:12,120 Speaker 3: You. 158 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 1: What a shitty, fucking shit thing to do, because that 159 00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:21,960 Speaker 1: makes the employee feel that they don't have any negotiating power, 160 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,679 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And the guy definitely did 161 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 1: have negotiating power. And I'll give you one more story. 162 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:31,960 Speaker 1: When Lena worked here, Lena started off making little money, 163 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,400 Speaker 1: like and this was years ago, so thirty thousand dollars 164 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 1: went probably a lot farther than it goes now. So 165 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:39,680 Speaker 1: let's say Lena made thirty thousand, and Lena was a 166 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 1: big hit on the show. Everybody loved Lena. Lena was 167 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:47,080 Speaker 1: a delight, and she's like, I've proven myself. I want 168 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 1: a more livable wage. And so she went in and 169 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 1: asked for a very reasonable figure and they said no 170 00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:00,640 Speaker 1: because they knew that if she was either going to 171 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,480 Speaker 1: take it or leave it, So let's say they offered 172 00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 1: her thirty eight thousand. She really deserved a lot more 173 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 1: than thirty eight thousand, but she went ahead and took 174 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,840 Speaker 1: thirty eight thousand because they said no. And it was 175 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:19,160 Speaker 1: like you motherfuckers, you cheap motherfuckers, and that I wouldn't 176 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,880 Speaker 1: say that's the reason she left, but it certainly didn't help. 177 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:24,679 Speaker 1: So people can be really shitty. 178 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, well this is helpful, and you. 179 00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:30,800 Speaker 1: Got to negotiate from a position of strength, and that 180 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,840 Speaker 1: is like, I mean, sometimes you have strength, and sometimes 181 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 1: you have more power than you think. And I'm going 182 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:38,720 Speaker 1: to tell you this. The last thing they want to 183 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:42,360 Speaker 1: do is they don't want to have you leave because 184 00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:44,560 Speaker 1: if you leave, they've got to find somebody who is 185 00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:48,560 Speaker 1: even close to as good as you and they and cheaper, 186 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:51,360 Speaker 1: and they don't want to do that job search. They 187 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:53,920 Speaker 1: don't want to do that employee search. So if you 188 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 1: are working at like, I don't know, Cargill, and you're 189 00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 1: making fifty four thousand dollars a year and you're like, 190 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:01,800 Speaker 1: I want to make you know, seventy two thousand dollars 191 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:07,360 Speaker 1: a year, you have more power than you think. Because 192 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:09,880 Speaker 1: they don't want to do a candidate search and start 193 00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:10,520 Speaker 1: all over again. 194 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:11,319 Speaker 3: Yeah, that work. 195 00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:13,080 Speaker 1: I don't know how it works. Over to Cargill. Maybe 196 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 1: they have a bunch of people that they can move 197 00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,000 Speaker 1: up right away. But you have more power than you think. 198 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:18,560 Speaker 1: And the other thing, the only thing I know about 199 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 1: negotiating is never throw out the first number. So let's 200 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:25,520 Speaker 1: say you and I. Let's say I'm going to sell 201 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:27,439 Speaker 1: you a motorcycle. Okay, what are you gonna pay me 202 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:28,199 Speaker 1: for the motorcycle? 203 00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:32,800 Speaker 3: Five thousand dollars? Baily? Oh, two thousand dollars, one hundred dollars. 204 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:33,840 Speaker 1: No, let her do this. 205 00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:34,720 Speaker 3: I don't know how it works. 206 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:35,959 Speaker 1: Just throw out a number. 207 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:37,080 Speaker 3: One hundred dollars. 208 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:45,200 Speaker 1: One hundred dollars. Yeah, oh god, not even close. 209 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,400 Speaker 3: Try it again, two hundred dollars. 210 00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:49,920 Speaker 1: Let's throw out a realistic number. 211 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,000 Speaker 3: It's about thousand, five hundred dollars. 212 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 1: Now, let's say I want to sell that motorcycle for 213 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:57,439 Speaker 1: one thousand dollars. Okay, you threw out the first. 214 00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:59,439 Speaker 3: Number of one five hundred dollars. 215 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 1: My reaction would be to go, yes, I'll take it right. 216 00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:08,840 Speaker 1: But the better reaction would be like, oh man, oh, 217 00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:13,920 Speaker 1: now you think you've underbid, And now you might go 218 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:18,480 Speaker 1: seventeen hundred, or you might go I paid fifteen hundred 219 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:19,960 Speaker 1: and I got a great deal. He didn't want to 220 00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:21,920 Speaker 1: take it, but he took it. So in other words, 221 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:23,960 Speaker 1: you throw out a number, and no matter what number 222 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:28,440 Speaker 1: you say, I say, oh oh, oh man. 223 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:29,120 Speaker 3: Yeah. 224 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:31,400 Speaker 1: Let's say you're looking for a job. Okay, ask me 225 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:32,160 Speaker 1: how much it pays. 226 00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 3: I am looking for a job. How much does it pay? 227 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:35,520 Speaker 1: Thirty four thousand dollars? 228 00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:36,120 Speaker 3: Sounds great? 229 00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 1: No no no no no no no no no no 230 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:39,640 Speaker 1: no sorry. I try it again. 231 00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 3: Okay, Hi, I'm looking for a job. How much does 232 00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:41,680 Speaker 3: it pay? 233 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:43,280 Speaker 1: Pays thirty four thousand dollars? 234 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:46,360 Speaker 3: Ooh yeah. 235 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:51,520 Speaker 1: Now instantly in my head, I'm thinking I lowball this woman. 236 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 1: She knows I'm lowballing her. I'm not going to get 237 00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:57,720 Speaker 1: away with it. So I might say take it or 238 00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:00,880 Speaker 1: leave it. Or you might now say I was hoping 239 00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:02,000 Speaker 1: for more like forty six. 240 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:03,839 Speaker 3: I was hoping for more like forty six. 241 00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:06,679 Speaker 1: And now it's my turn to go, oh, this. 242 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,199 Speaker 3: Is exhaust I hate this. 243 00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:12,360 Speaker 1: But it's it's important to have an inkling. 244 00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:13,680 Speaker 3: On hop in my brain. I know I'm probably just 245 00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:15,920 Speaker 3: gonna take it anyway. Kind of thing, you know. 246 00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:20,440 Speaker 1: You're like me like where You're like, Yeah, what did 247 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:21,880 Speaker 1: you want to add, Jenny, I. 248 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 2: Don't have much to add. I think you nailed it. 249 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,800 Speaker 2: I think you got it all correct. I think most companies, though, 250 00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:29,160 Speaker 2: you cannot negotiate a wage right now, so I would 251 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:33,280 Speaker 2: say that that is not plausible in most industries. Most 252 00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:36,439 Speaker 2: industries are laying people off and they will find employees 253 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:38,880 Speaker 2: who will work for less because everyone needs a job. 254 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:42,520 Speaker 1: So yeah, okay, but don't forget they need good people. 255 00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:44,839 Speaker 1: They don't need just people who will fit the fit 256 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 1: in their seats. 257 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:48,360 Speaker 2: Do that. Maybe they don't care that much about that then, 258 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:52,640 Speaker 2: because I know companies that don't give people good people raises, and. 259 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:54,560 Speaker 1: Well, I think a lot of companies are struggling. Like 260 00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:57,520 Speaker 1: I'll be honest with you, the radio business is not struggling. 261 00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:02,240 Speaker 1: But it's also not fool fourishing, you could say, because 262 00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,960 Speaker 1: we have so much competition now and radio is still 263 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:09,320 Speaker 1: doing really well. It's something like more people listen to 264 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:12,280 Speaker 1: the radio every week than go on social media all 265 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:16,320 Speaker 1: platforms combined. That's a fact. More people listen to radio 266 00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:18,920 Speaker 1: either on the iHeart app or on the radio, then 267 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:20,920 Speaker 1: then go on all social media combined. And I find 268 00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:23,560 Speaker 1: that hard to believe, but that's what they say is true, 269 00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:27,240 Speaker 1: all right, Next one, here we go. Listen to Minnesota, 270 00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:30,080 Speaker 1: Goodbye Tuesday.

If you continue to go east, you'll hit 278 00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:55,920 Speaker 1: towns like Lacrosse, hiking, restaurant, shopping, views of the bluffs 279 00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:58,560 Speaker 1: and Mississippi. There's even a paddle boat on the Mississippi 280 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,240 Speaker 1: called the Lacrosse Queen that takes you on a short 281 00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:03,679 Speaker 1: cruise up and down the river.

I 309 00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:19,320 Speaker 1: live in the Bozeman area and we used to have 310 00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:22,120 Speaker 1: a local strip called called the Buffalo Jump that would 311 00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:24,680 Speaker 1: shuttle you in for free on a short bus to 312 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:26,440 Speaker 1: the club and back. Well, we made a habit out 313 00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:28,880 Speaker 1: of throwing house parties and we would always end up 314 00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:30,920 Speaker 1: calling the strip club and they'd come by and shuttle 315 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,520 Speaker 1: us to the strip club. The first year we managed 316 00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:35,600 Speaker 1: to get kicked out, it was a mixture of somebody 317 00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:39,200 Speaker 1: persistently trying to order me a bottle of champagne they 318 00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:42,080 Speaker 1: didn't have champagne, and some other guests trying to get 319 00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:45,320 Speaker 1: on stage.

Being 333 00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:25,440 Speaker 1: in the presence of such positivity had me in a 334 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:28,120 Speaker 1: good mood the rest of the day, and that rarely happens. 335 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:30,960 Speaker 1: I enjoyed meeting all of you, but I'm sorry I 336 00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:33,160 Speaker 1: didn't get to speak to each one of you individually. 337 00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:34,840 Speaker 1: But Dave, it meant the world to me that you 338 00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:37,640 Speaker 1: took five minutes to have a conversation with me. I 339 00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:39,920 Speaker 1: was shaking from nerves the whole time. I hope you 340 00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:42,640 Speaker 1: didn't notice. I did not notice. You really seem like 341 00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:44,920 Speaker 1: he cared about this stranger in front of you, and 342 00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:46,600 Speaker 1: as someone who has viewed you as sort of a 343 00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:49,760 Speaker 1: father figure, it was kind of a healing experience, if 344 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,000 Speaker 1: that makes sense. In case you don't remember me, I 345 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:53,920 Speaker 1: was the girl who told you I was in recovery 346 00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:57,000 Speaker 1: from drugs and alcohol, and I truly don't think I 347 00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:59,760 Speaker 1: would be sober had I not been such an avid 348 00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:03,520 Speaker 1: fan of your show. In my addiction, I lost almost 349 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:06,680 Speaker 1: everyone in my life, the most traumatic loss being the 350 00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:08,880 Speaker 1: death of both of my parents before I was twenty three. 351 00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:13,400 Speaker 1: I can recall many dark, isolating moments when I didn't 352 00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:16,600 Speaker 1: think anybody would even care if I just disappeared. What 353 00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:21,320 Speaker 1: really saved me was knowing that I could open the 354 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:23,520 Speaker 1: iHeart app and be in the presence of people I 355 00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:27,680 Speaker 1: consider friends. That means so much to me. That is amazing. 356 00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:30,840 Speaker 1: I think it's one of the powers of radio. Today. 357 00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:33,280 Speaker 1: I am almost three years sober, and I've just completed 358 00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:36,360 Speaker 1: all of my coursework and internships to become an addiction counselor. 359 00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:39,800 Speaker 1: Even though you weren't aware of it, you all help 360 00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:42,680 Speaker 1: me do that. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. 361 00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:45,440 Speaker 1: I don't want this email to be too long, but 362 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:48,280 Speaker 1: this is probably more of a question for Bailey since 363 00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:51,000 Speaker 1: she's around high schoolers more for speech, since wearing coach 364 00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,680 Speaker 1: has been a topic of discussion lately, do kids not 365 00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:55,240 Speaker 1: wear letter jackets anymore? 366 00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:55,600 Speaker 3: No. 367 00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:58,920 Speaker 1: I graduated high school in two thousand and seven, and 368 00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:01,800 Speaker 1: my letter jacket was my pride and joy. I was 369 00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:04,199 Speaker 1: a marching band kid. I played the trumpet and I 370 00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:06,560 Speaker 1: had bars all down one sleeve, then all down the 371 00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:09,000 Speaker 1: back of the sleeve a bunch of medals. I pinned 372 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,800 Speaker 1: the letter I for Irondale. I think there are the 373 00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:12,640 Speaker 1: nights aren't. 374 00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:14,200 Speaker 3: They They are there aren't Like sister school. 375 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:19,239 Speaker 1: The thing weighed probably twenty pounds, but almost everybody at 376 00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:21,119 Speaker 1: my school had one if they lettered in something. I 377 00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:23,240 Speaker 1: still have minded this very day in the back of 378 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:27,000 Speaker 1: a closet somewhere. No darting or licking for me as 379 00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:31,400 Speaker 1: a chronically single thirty six year old Jacqueline talk about 380 00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:32,080 Speaker 1: letter jackets. 381 00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:35,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, the kids don't care about lettering anymore. Not one 382 00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:38,679 Speaker 3: kid has a letter jacket. I've not seen one in years, 383 00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,240 Speaker 3: and I've coached speech for twelve years. When I first 384 00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:45,439 Speaker 3: started coaching, kids did care about lettering, so we had like, 385 00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:48,440 Speaker 3: here's how you letter in speech xyz blah blah blah 386 00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:51,120 Speaker 3: blah blah. And then it got to the point where 387 00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:53,600 Speaker 3: I would explain here's how you letter, and I would 388 00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,360 Speaker 3: have kids say, what is that? What does that mean? 389 00:17:56,600 --> 00:18:01,840 Speaker 3: What is lettering? So even though technically I submit every year, 390 00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:04,040 Speaker 3: like to the powers that be, here are the kids 391 00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:05,879 Speaker 3: that lettered in debate, Here are the kids that lettered 392 00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:08,640 Speaker 3: in speech. They get their like actually the big huge 393 00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:12,600 Speaker 3: letter which is an M for mounts View, and then 394 00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:14,480 Speaker 3: they have to like go and pick up the bars 395 00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:17,840 Speaker 3: from wherever. But no one wears letter jackets and no 396 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:20,520 Speaker 3: one cares about lettering, so I don't even talk about 397 00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:21,760 Speaker 3: it anymore unless someone asks. 398 00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:24,879 Speaker 1: It's so bizarre because I can still picture the football 399 00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:28,639 Speaker 1: jocks on my school bus wearing letter jackets and they 400 00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:30,600 Speaker 1: were very proud. But this was I mean, a couple 401 00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:31,880 Speaker 1: of generations ago. 402 00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:34,080 Speaker 3: And I graduated in nine and people. 403 00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:34,640 Speaker 1: Wore a letter jacket. 404 00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:37,120 Speaker 3: They did then, yes, okay, but not anymore. 405 00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:39,360 Speaker 1: What about class rings? Nope, that's not. 406 00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:41,439 Speaker 3: I feel like class rings are even more dated than 407 00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:44,280 Speaker 3: interesting letter jacket. We didn't have. No one wore a 408 00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:45,520 Speaker 3: class ring. When I was in school. 409 00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:49,960 Speaker 1: I had a class ring and it was I was 410 00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:51,639 Speaker 1: so proud of it. I couldn't wait for it to 411 00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:54,720 Speaker 1: come and I still have my class ring. I think 412 00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:57,040 Speaker 1: I probably wore it for five years after high school. 413 00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:57,440 Speaker 3: Oh wow. 414 00:18:57,560 --> 00:18:58,560 Speaker 1: I was just very proud of it. 415 00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:01,320 Speaker 3: I didn't have a jacket, but because I was quirky 416 00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:03,800 Speaker 3: and different, I bought myself a sweater and had a 417 00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:07,199 Speaker 3: letter sweater so I could be like Danny Zooko from Grease. 418 00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:11,480 Speaker 1: Oh my god end and my gain. 419 00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:12,960 Speaker 3: I wore it like once. 420 00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:15,960 Speaker 1: This just happened to me, and I feel pretty sad. 421 00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:19,840 Speaker 1: About it. I'd like your advice or thoughts. Today, I 422 00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:22,720 Speaker 1: had a sandwich in the office fridge that I plated 423 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,200 Speaker 1: and left on the counter because other people were using 424 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:28,040 Speaker 1: the microwaves. I stepped away, came back a few minutes 425 00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:32,639 Speaker 1: later seeing a coworker take half for herself. I felt 426 00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:34,600 Speaker 1: so awkward I turned around left the break room. She 427 00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:36,840 Speaker 1: didn't realize it was mine since I didn't have my 428 00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:40,760 Speaker 1: initials on the sandwich bag. But what the hell? How 429 00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:42,920 Speaker 1: do you not make this awkward? Is it my fault? 430 00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:45,120 Speaker 1: I didn't label the sandwich. Usually in my office, when 431 00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:47,640 Speaker 1: something is free for all to consume, there's a note 432 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:50,200 Speaker 1: that says, please help yourself. I'm sad because I didn't 433 00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:53,800 Speaker 1: say anything, and office confrontations are so uncomfortable. I don't 434 00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:56,320 Speaker 1: think I'm going to mention anything to this sandwich burglar, 435 00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:59,239 Speaker 1: But what if it happens again? Advice please, and thank you. 436 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:01,720 Speaker 1: Let's go to handlist. Jenny Luttenberger. 437 00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:05,680 Speaker 2: I don't know why you don't say something. I would 438 00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:09,000 Speaker 2: say something immediately. I know not everyone's confrontational, but that's 439 00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:09,520 Speaker 2: your food. 440 00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:11,560 Speaker 3: I don't know, I don't that's mine. 441 00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:14,159 Speaker 2: I would go up and be like, hey, you probably 442 00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:16,080 Speaker 2: didn't realize this, but that was mine. Like one time 443 00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:19,240 Speaker 2: Dave came in, I'll never forget. He comes into the 444 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:21,840 Speaker 2: studio after getting his snatch from the kitchen and he's 445 00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:24,119 Speaker 2: got this whole container at blueberries and I look at 446 00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:26,360 Speaker 2: him and I go, are those my blueberries? He goes, 447 00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:30,200 Speaker 2: you know what they might be? I thought I brought 448 00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:32,439 Speaker 2: blueberries in today, but I don't think I did. And 449 00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:34,720 Speaker 2: so and on top of it, instead of just going 450 00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:36,960 Speaker 2: and putting it back, he puts a bunch on his 451 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:37,960 Speaker 2: plate and. 452 00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:43,800 Speaker 3: Then puts on back. You so I called Dave out 453 00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:44,920 Speaker 3: in that moment. 454 00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:46,879 Speaker 2: But I would, yeah, I would have to say something, 455 00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:48,680 Speaker 2: but like in a way of like you probably didn't 456 00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:50,960 Speaker 2: realize that was my sandwich, you know, like in a. 457 00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:53,600 Speaker 3: Nice way, but like how would you not realize that 458 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:55,879 Speaker 3: that's that's such like a weird thing, Like, oh, here's 459 00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:59,040 Speaker 3: one singular sandwich sitting out, I'm gonna take half of it. Yeah, 460 00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:01,160 Speaker 3: it's not like there was a platter sitting out. 461 00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:04,400 Speaker 1: I would definitely my reaction would be like, oh, well, 462 00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:07,280 Speaker 1: that's not mine, that is somebody's. If there was a platter, 463 00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:12,120 Speaker 1: then then it's like okay, the heck can I tell 464 00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:14,119 Speaker 1: you what, I'm nervous about confronting somebody about and I 465 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:16,600 Speaker 1: know it's gonna happen. I like to cross country ski 466 00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:19,360 Speaker 1: and the trails a lot of them are open, and 467 00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:22,080 Speaker 1: I've been trying to get it into people's heads. Don't 468 00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:25,119 Speaker 1: walk on cross country ski trails. And I see it 469 00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:27,000 Speaker 1: all the time, and it's just somebody, you know, usually 470 00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:28,919 Speaker 1: out with their dog and they're walking along in the 471 00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:32,800 Speaker 1: groom cross country ski trail. I've never said anything to 472 00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:36,040 Speaker 1: anybody because I'm trying to picture how that would look 473 00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:38,439 Speaker 1: and how to address it the best way. Hey, you 474 00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:40,000 Speaker 1: know what. I know you don't know this, and I'm 475 00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,800 Speaker 1: not trying to be a jerk, but but please don't 476 00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:45,879 Speaker 1: walk on these trails. They're groomed for cross country skiing 477 00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:47,520 Speaker 1: and when you walk on them, it kind of ruins 478 00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:49,600 Speaker 1: the grooming. Can you see how they're groomed. Yeah, but 479 00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:51,840 Speaker 1: I'm worried the reaction will be like, yeah, fuck you 480 00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:55,199 Speaker 1: you fuck whoa. I mean, That's what I'm worried. But 481 00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:57,720 Speaker 1: I don't because I think that people who and a 482 00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:01,200 Speaker 1: lot they're they're marked at the trail head, but they're 483 00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:02,920 Speaker 1: not marked all over the trail. 484 00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:04,280 Speaker 3: Right exactly because that would be. 485 00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:06,320 Speaker 1: Annoying to and a lot of people don't know, but 486 00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:07,919 Speaker 1: you're not supposed to walk in them. So I know 487 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,800 Speaker 1: that I'm going to confront somebody and I'm a pussy 488 00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:13,960 Speaker 1: just like everybody else, and I don't want to say anything. 489 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:15,760 Speaker 1: But at the same time, it's like, I feel like 490 00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:17,880 Speaker 1: I need to edumicate you and let me know, don't 491 00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:18,960 Speaker 1: walk on these trails. 492 00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:21,560 Speaker 3: No, I agree. I think everyone needs to be educated 493 00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:24,879 Speaker 3: as adults, because once you hit a certain age, no 494 00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:27,080 Speaker 3: one scolds you for anything anymore, and we should be 495 00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:29,120 Speaker 3: scolded more for doing the wrong thing. 496 00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:32,760 Speaker 2: Okay, I joke about walking on those trails. I don't 497 00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:36,320 Speaker 2: ever do that. However, I didn't know that that was 498 00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:38,320 Speaker 2: a thing. I truly didn't.
