1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,760 Speaker 1: Welcome to another episode of I Tell You What. So, dude, 2 00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:09,639 Speaker 1: let's go there. The Minnesota Goodbye. So I saw this yesterday. 3 00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:12,680 Speaker 2: I was scrolling through social media and I was just 4 00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:15,360 Speaker 2: looking up stuff, and I saw the New York Post. 5 00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:20,760 Speaker 2: They wrote this whole big article about how gen Z's 6 00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:24,000 Speaker 2: doing this thing called the Midwest Goodbye. And I go, 7 00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:28,080 Speaker 2: the Midwest Goodbye? What do you It's the Minnesota goodbye 8 00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:32,720 Speaker 2: one hundred percent. There's no Midwest goodbye. There's no Wisconsin goodbye. 9 00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:35,600 Speaker 2: There's no Illinois goodbye, there's no Iowa goodbye. Now, you 10 00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:36,599 Speaker 2: grew up in Illinois. 11 00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:37,199 Speaker 1: You never had this. 12 00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:39,479 Speaker 2: You never heard of this in my life when I 13 00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:40,040 Speaker 2: lived here. 14 00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:41,840 Speaker 1: When you said goodbye. And we want to talk back 15 00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:43,479 Speaker 1: on this too, by the way, because we can't, we 16 00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:45,760 Speaker 1: really can't do this without your opinion, because you guys 17 00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:49,280 Speaker 1: are Minnesota and northwestern Wisconsin. I mean, you're welcome to 18 00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:51,680 Speaker 1: chime in too. I think it's definitely bleeded over the river. 19 00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:55,640 Speaker 1: What is the deal with the Minnesota goodbye? How long 20 00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:59,160 Speaker 1: is your Minnesota goodbye? And why is your Minnesota goodbye 21 00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:02,800 Speaker 1: so long? Seriously, we are truly curious, because I even 22 00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:05,080 Speaker 1: think people that have been doing the Minnesota goodbye forever 23 00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:05,880 Speaker 1: here in Minnesota. 24 00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:06,399 Speaker 2: Yeah. 25 00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:09,280 Speaker 1: Really can't answer those questions except maybe how long it is. 26 00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:10,880 Speaker 1: And a lot of people that have been doing it 27 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:12,600 Speaker 1: for years can't even answer how long it is because 28 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:14,800 Speaker 1: they don't even know they're doing it. They just it's 29 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:16,800 Speaker 1: just part of it. It's just a good the way 30 00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:17,880 Speaker 1: we say goodbye up here. 31 00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, ours is like, well, I shouldn't say ours, I 32 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,960 Speaker 2: should say my wife Lauren. Hers is like twenty twenty 33 00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:26,280 Speaker 2: five minutes, like we'll already be ready to go, I'll 34 00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:28,479 Speaker 2: slap in the and go, well, all right, that's late. 35 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:29,400 Speaker 1: And she's from here. 36 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:30,560 Speaker 2: Yes, she's from here. 37 00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:32,440 Speaker 1: She grew up with it. Her parents do it. 38 00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:34,880 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, everything family does it. Everybody. 39 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,160 Speaker 1: Now, are you longer with the Minnesota goodbye when you're 40 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,280 Speaker 1: at somebody else's house with Lauren and Lena you're a kid? 41 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:40,679 Speaker 2: Yeah? 42 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 1: Or are you longer? Is it longer at your house 43 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,199 Speaker 1: when people are trying to leave your home? Which one's 44 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,760 Speaker 1: when we're at somebody's house, So you guys are then. 45 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 1: I don't know why, but I feel like I always 46 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 1: say this my wife. I think she has like fomo, 47 00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 1: so she always wants to be the last one there, 48 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 1: and I'm like, we. 49 00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,240 Speaker 2: Could be the first one out. We're not gonna miss anything. 50 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,880 Speaker 2: It's like that for your cousins. I've never left, it 51 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:06,240 Speaker 2: just never left. They would always stay right, stay right 52 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,360 Speaker 2: to the end. It's like it was always that group 53 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 2: of cousins, first to get there, last to leave. Oh 54 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,560 Speaker 2: I'm first in, first out, and I don't mind that 55 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,040 Speaker 2: so much. But now you know, I mean, we just 56 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 2: we kind of do it. It's with Steph's family. It's 57 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:23,240 Speaker 2: not quick to the nth degree, but we do do it. 58 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 2: And I chat gptat it. But I'd really like you 59 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,200 Speaker 2: guys and to chime in here up before God and 60 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,440 Speaker 2: all of your honesty, pop on the iHeartRadio app and 61 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 2: let her rip. Just hit the little red microphone. How 62 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,360 Speaker 2: long is your Minnesota goodbye? And just as important, maybe 63 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 2: why is it so long? So here's what chat Cheatpie says. 64 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,720 Speaker 1: This is why I love chat GPT is because it 65 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 1: just it just cuts right to it. In Minnesota culture, 66 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 1: it's less about the clock and more about the ritual. 67 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:55,919 Speaker 1: This is recording to AI. It's basically fifteen to forty 68 00:02:55,960 --> 00:03:02,160 Speaker 1: five minutes is the Minnesota goodbye. Here's chat GPT does 69 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:07,080 Speaker 1: like a mocked interaction AI and it says, welp, we 70 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 1: should get going yep, that's dead on, yeah, which triggers 71 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 1: a ten to twenty minute conversation. Then you go stand 72 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 1: by the door accorded to chat GPT, for five to 73 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:22,120 Speaker 1: fifteen more minutes. Then you go outside by the car. 74 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:24,840 Speaker 1: Probably depends on the time of year, but another five 75 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 1: to ten minutes. And then the optional ending of the 76 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:31,320 Speaker 1: Minnesota goodbye is that one last wave chat through the 77 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 1: car window window could roll down for another goodbye, which 78 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 1: lasts anywhere from like, you know, zero to sixty seconds 79 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 1: something like that. So you break it all down and 80 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 1: it really goes to about forty five minutes or so. 81 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 1: And then chat GPT asked me if it wanted me 82 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 1: to break this down, like how this, how would why 83 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 1: this happens culturally? I did that and I didn't even understand. 84 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 1: It was just too much. 85 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 2: I've never experienced the where you get in the car 86 00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 2: and they're still talking to you. I think out the door, 87 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 2: we're done. No, we have that with Steph's family always, 88 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:05,840 Speaker 2: the walkout to the car. 89 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 1: It's weird. It's like, so I'm wondering what drives it. 90 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 1: Do we think here in Minnesota, like do we think 91 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,840 Speaker 1: we're gonna die? And like that's like the Is it 92 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,280 Speaker 1: like a final goodbye every time? Is there some kind 93 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 1: of inherent thing? 94 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 3: Is it? 95 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 1: And does it stem from maybe the roads being nasty 96 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,320 Speaker 1: half the ear up here and maybe that's why it 97 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,240 Speaker 1: turns into such a long I mean, I'm really trying 98 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 1: to analyze whine. I don't know, and I'd love for 99 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 1: for you guys to jump on talk back and let 100 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,839 Speaker 1: a rip. Why do we do the long goodbye? Because 101 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 1: all of us do? We all talk about it, and 102 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:39,880 Speaker 1: I don't know a lot of people that really love it. 103 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 1: I mean, they just they kind of do it. I mean, 104 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:44,520 Speaker 1: you're getting home with your kid, if you've got a 105 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,039 Speaker 1: little kid, forty five to an hour minutes after you 106 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,279 Speaker 1: really really want to be there, right, so it's late, 107 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,240 Speaker 1: You're getting the kid to bed late, everything else, You're 108 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:54,040 Speaker 1: getting to bed late. You got to get up to 109 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 1: work the next morning. You know, if you're one of 110 00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,479 Speaker 1: those long good buyers. So what's the what's the answer 111 00:04:58,480 --> 00:04:58,560 Speaker 1: to that? 112 00:04:58,600 --> 00:04:58,920 Speaker 3: I don't know. 113 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:02,840 Speaker 2: I feel like start getting conversation trapped, because then there's 114 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 2: another conversation starting.

And then we want to compare it to others, 143 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 1: And then we would also like to find out what 144 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 1: consists of your Minnesota goodbye, Like are you walking to 145 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 1: the doors and all those things? Are you grabbing something 146 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 1: else to eat? Some people do that too. It's like, oh, 147 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 1: before you go, let me go get some something to 148 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:39,279 Speaker 1: eat for you. Let me go get some leftovers, because 149 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:41,120 Speaker 1: it's usually after like you know, Easter's coming up this 150 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,600 Speaker 1: weekend and there's gonna be some of that. And then 151 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 1: there's sometimes whether it's real or not, there's the oh, 152 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 1: I think I forgot something thing and then let me 153 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,320 Speaker 1: go get this for you, or I forgot to tell 154 00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 1: you blah blah blah. So we just have a hard 155 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 1: time letting go. 156 00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:58,720 Speaker 2: I think, do you think that there's a Minnesota good 157 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,880 Speaker 2: buyer between spouses? One of them is the more that 158 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:05,360 Speaker 2: wants to stay and chat. And the reason why is 159 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:07,720 Speaker 2: this twofold. To be honest with you, I think sometimes 160 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 2: it's just it's like tag team. They both just do it. 161 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 1: You know. I think it'd be cool if you could 162 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:17,000 Speaker 1: pay somebody to be the Minnesota goodbyer. Just have them 163 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,240 Speaker 1: come over to your house, you know what I mean, 164 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 1: and just they do all the parting. Okay, Dove says goodbye, 165 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,000 Speaker 1: Laura says goodbye, by goodbye. Okay, everybody out. Boom, we 166 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 1: got to clean the house. Boom, come in.
