Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello, and thank you for listening to the Minnesota Goodbye
(00:02):
with Jenny Ann Bailey. Hello, Vont just like hates us.
He doesn't want to be on it apparently, No, I'm
just kidding. On Fridays, he has a ton of work
to do. If you don't know this about Vont, he
is on a lot of different weekend shows across the
country on different radio stations. So he's kind of just
trying to get caught up on that because right after
the show today we have to jet out of here
and get to the Mall of America to do an event.
(00:24):
So Bont's like, hey, I don't think I'm going to
make it on today, so we'll jump right to the emails.
We don't have a ton so if you've been dying
to send us an email, now's your opportunity, because we're
definitely not going to miss it and we'll definitely read it.
So first off, this one comes from someone who says,
don't say my name if you want to take this
to the radio. But I have a dilemma today and
(00:44):
I thought it'd be interesting to hear the squad's feedback
to get right to it. I'm in sales in twenty
percent of my monthly commission or monthly pay is commission
based on a monthly quota. I received my commission check
from February this week and I noticed it was much
more than I expected. I looked at my pay STOB
and it was nearly one thousand dollars more than I
should have been paid as if I had maxed out
(01:06):
my commission from the month prior, which I did not.
I work for a large company and the likelihood of
anyone noticing this is very low. I decided to contact
my colleague that submits the commission payments to our payroll team.
I have worked closely with her for eight plus years
and I knew she would guide me in the right direction.
She reviewed it with me and confirmed that what she
sent to payroll was correct and that the error error
(01:28):
was not made by her. She said she didn't have
the time or capacity to deal with this and said
she would let me decide what to do with it
from there and wouldn't say anything if it came up.
I feel like I did my part in reaching out
to the direct contact on my team. Now, as it stands,
should I reach out to my boss slash payroll to
correct this or do I let it ride. This wasn't
my error, So I don't know if I need to
(01:50):
be the one to shed light on this or not.
I'm not too concerned about repercussions that they do an
audit down the road and need to take it back.
But do I ride out this unexpected and delightful bonus
it was an error made by a corporate's payroll team,
or do I reach out to my boss slash payroll
listen person who says to not say your name. You
(02:11):
just let it ride?
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
In my opinion, I'm honestly like, good for you for
saying anything to your direct contact in the first place,
because I would have been like, oh, sweet, I guess
I did really good this month. But also I'm just dumb,
so it wouldn't occur to me that, oh I wasn't
meant to get this money. I would have just convinced
myself that I was meant to get this money.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
So you going out and doing like actually talking to
someone and being like, I think there's a mistake here.
You did your part, you did your due diligence, your
moral duty, and I think it's your money now.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
I think your only thing to be concerned about, which
you said that you're not concerned about it. If they
were to realize their mistake and they need to take
the money back, because I'm gonna be honest, iHeart has
done that to me before, where they've screwed something up
and they're like sorry, or like I ended up covering
something for Fallon and they paid Foulon and said to me,
so then they were like sorry, Fallon, Like we got
to take this money back in your next pay check.
(03:05):
So as long as you're not concerned that, like you
need that thousand dollars down the road, if they were
to take it back, then I think you're totally fine.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
I do have an.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Example of something that I was in a very similar
situation when I was younger. So as you all probably
know by now, I used to work at Bubba Gump
and I was a host when I started, And when
we started, we used to just automatically get a percentage
of the servers tips, Like it was just automatically taken
out of their tip amount. Versus a lot of restaurants
(03:34):
the servers will like choose how much they want to
tip the hosts, So it used to just automatically be
taken out of the servers and put into our paychecks.
And one paycheck I got and it was like four
hundred dollars more in tips than I had ever had,
And as a host, you really don't make a ton
of tips.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
So I was like, WHOA.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Like I got this paycheck, I was like, no, this
isn't right. And but I sat and looked at it,
and I was like, well, I don't know what I
could done wrong, Like I know that I'm not in
the wrong here, but I was concerned about them, being like,
we need that money.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
Here's the thing.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
I was literally leaving to go on my twenty first
birthday trip to Vegas, like in a week after I
got that paycheck, and I was like, I'm not saying shit.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
No, they screwed up, and I am like, this is
my money.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
If they did screw up or for some reason, maybe
the servers had just this phenomenal week of tips. So
I ended up getting more in tips. Yeah, but I
never said shit.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
And it never came back and hit me in the bud.
So there we go.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Yeah, don't say anything.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
Yeah, I think you're good.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Okay, next email on Wednesday, you guys talked about the
mom who wouldn't let one of her children go on
vacation with the other side of the child's family. It
got me thinking of something I experienced and I want
to know your thoughts. My child had a birthday party
at a water park hotel. He was turning ten. We
invited two friends his same age and four children from
(04:55):
our family. Of the four children, one was from one family,
a twelve year old boo, and then the other three
were another family member's.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
Kids aged ten, eight, and five.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
We invited everyone to come and swim, eat pizza, and
qu hang out. We then also invited the friends of
the of her son, and then two family member kids
who were twelve and ten to stay the night.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
So to reiterate, there was like a twelve year old boy.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
From the family and then a ten, eight and five
year old from a different family that they're all related to.
So the family with multiple kids, the ten, eight and
five year old would not allow the ten year old
to stay overnight if we wouldn't also allow the eight
year old.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
To stay two.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
I asked if both of the adults had to do
everything with their siblings growing up, and they said no,
So I said, your kids don't either. Everyone is welcome
to come play, but the invite for the sleepover is
just for the ten year old. They chose for none
of their kids to stay overnight.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Boo.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
I wanted to know which you have allowed one kid
to stay and not the others?
Speaker 4 (05:56):
All right? That comes from page Oh my god, what
is up with people?
Speaker 2 (06:02):
That makes me mad?
Speaker 3 (06:04):
Because like you just like took away a fun experience
for your ten year old because you wanted to also
unhand your eight year old as well, right, and like ten,
I mean especially if the birthday boy is like.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Twelve, you know, he was trying ten, so same age
as a ten year old.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
Yeah, but like still if everybody's ten and twelve years
old and then you have an eight year old, like, yeah,
it's only two years, but eight and ten are two
very different ages.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Right, And also it looks like, you know, in total,
they were going to have four people sleeping over then,
and plus the birthday boy in the family and whatever.
You got to think in terms also of like how
many beds are there available, like how much space do
they actually have for all of the kids and stuff.
So no, I don't think you were in the wrong
for I think I think that the parents should have
(06:48):
let the ten year old sleep over without the eight
year old. Yeah, I think that that's a little strange.
If you have a different opinion, you're more than welcome
to email us and let us know. But yeah, I'm
not really I just understanding of that.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
This is like the.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Because the Disneyland person and then this email. This is
like the first time I've heard about like, well, all
of my kids need to be involved or none of
my kids can be involved. It just seems like such
a strange like hill to die on for me when like,
I mean, I have one sister, but the only thing
we did together was like her eighth birthday party, and
(07:21):
I was kind of like forced to not forced to
be there, but she had no choice because like what
else was I gonna do?
Speaker 2 (07:27):
I'm in the home that the party is being held at.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
But like, other than that, I didn't go do things
with my sister all the time. Yeah, because she had
her own friends. Like let your kid have his own friends.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Right, I fully agree. My older sister and I are
only a year and a half apart, so we did
do a lot together, but we very much had our
own friend groups. Like she had her birthday parties. I
wasn't even I mean, I was probably around, but I
don't think I was that involved in a lot of
her stuff.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
So yeah, okay.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Next email says, hello, morning show crew. I heard Jenny
talk about pearler beads and I had to send some
pictures of my favorite projects from the pandemic. My kids
and I spent a lot of time making pearler bead
projects during COVID. We glued magnets on the back and
display them on our magnet board. Have a great day,
so scroll show, Bailey, that is that princess speech?
Speaker 4 (08:18):
Okay, that's my thought. That's bowser bowser and nuns toad toad.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Okay, good call, because I knew it was from like
Themorrow people. But I those are cute, freaking pearler beads,
so there's no chance she'll ever hear this. But if
for some odd reason, Rachel, my sister, you are listening
right now, do not let Maddie hear this. It's my
niece's birthday party next weekend, and I did get her
a pearler bead kid because I was, like, you know,
(08:45):
that was fun to do at the age of thirty
four with my friends, and I remember doing them as
a kid, and I think that's one thing. Like my
sister is really good at doing like crafts and artsy
stuff with my niece and nephew, so I think that's
one thing they don't have, and if they do, I'm
going to be surprised. But I think that she'll really
like doing that, but my sister will probably fucking hate
it because my nephew will get into it and there
(09:06):
will be pearler beats all over.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Helly and you have claimed.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Yes, yeah, okay, so we will delete that fun And
then one more email of this comes from our good
old friend Charise says, Hey, Jenny Bailey and Vant it's Charisse.
I am ready to get a girl's opinion about something,
but if not wants to throw an opinion, that's fine too.
I usually don't care about how I look, but lately
I've decided to pay more attention to myself. I recently
(09:31):
am trying a new hair color and I'm not sure
about it, so I am attaching a picture to get
your opinions. It's I'll describe it because obviously you're listening
to a podcast and you can't hear or see what
we're saying. But it's a reddish brown color, and she
is thinking about making it more brown and wants to
know what we think. All right, love you guys from
Charise Bailey, what are your thoughts?
Speaker 3 (09:53):
I mean, I love a brown I think because brown.
Because okay, Cherise. For the listeners who do not know,
Teresa has truly the most beautiful eyes in the history
of eyeballs. And so, Teresa, if you're thinking about going
more brown, see if you can get like a similar
color to your eyes so that they pop.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Even more, like a kind of a golden brown.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
Yeah, that would be really cool and honestly kind of
would like contrast very well, I think, so I'm all
for it.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
I mean, I am.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Somebody who changes their hair constantly and is never happy
with it. So hey, if you're ever thinking should I
change my hair, the answer is yes, always do it.
Follow your heart, follow your bliss, and change it for sure.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Yeah. I mean, but however, she did ask if we
like it, and I will say that yes, I do
like the color that it is right now. Yeah, but
if you want to change it to brown, I think
that that'll work as well. But we'll move on from that.
Since you are listening to a podcast, and you cannot
see this picture right now. That's actually it. We're all
caught up on emails. If there's something that we've missed
that listen love Dave. He's not the most organized, so
(10:56):
there's a chance an email has gotten deleted accidentally or
we've dismissed it were the week. So if there's something
that you haven't heard yet of your email, send it
to Ryan Show at.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
Katiewb dot com.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
And Bailey was going to talk about somebody that she
saw at a playlast night.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
I'm yes, I was at a play last night. I'm
having a cougar moment. So I was at a play
last night.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
It was called Secret Warriors at the History Theater. Overall,
really great show. It was about like.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
Japanese army men or that were like American Japanese American
that were helping during the World War Two.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Anyway, you can look it up. It's called Secret Warriors
at History Theater. Anyway, one of.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
The main two characters was the second he came out,
I was like.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Oh ooh, because he's.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
Real cute and he was such a good actor. It
didn't even feel like he was acting. It just felt
like the character was on the stage, just existing in
his life, and so during intermission, you know, your girl
looked up this man. Of course, usually when this happens,
if I say like, oh, this guy's hot in this show,
I'm going to look him up, they're always gay. This
(12:03):
man was not gay. He is dating a woman, but whatever,
that's okay. I don't think I was going to approach
this man regardless. And then on his Instagram it says
graduated UFM twenty twenty three, and I.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Was like, oh, oh god, so like literally less than
two years ago he graduated college.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
And I was flabbergasted, shivered my timbers there, and I
felt creepy because I was like, oh, this man's like
eleven years younger than me.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
That's wild.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
But then I of course continued to creep because at once,
like once you're opened on the Instagram page, like I
can't stop myself from scrolling and trying to like suss
out information from captions. So he is actually nine years
younger than me. So he's twenty five, okay, and still
fine as hell. I don't want to objectify men, but
(12:57):
I did in that moment and throughout the entire show
because he was so cute. But is I like, I
don't think I would ever seek out someone who is twenty.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
Five years old.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
Yeah, but my sister always said that she thought, because
we always like joke in my family that I'm like
a spinster lady, and I'll be like the kooky ant
that like comes home with like at a hot new
bow every so often, and they'll be like, well, who's
this one today? And so then I was thinking, Okay,
well maybe I should get on that now, in that
era of my life of cougar lady and start bringing
(13:30):
home twenty five year olds.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
I think that you should do whatever your heart desires,
as long as I mean, there's one there's a difference
between like a hot young twenty five year old and
also like people are still hot at your age too,
people are hot at every age what I hear. Indeed,
but I think there's quite a difference between the emotional
intelligence of a twenty five year old and a thirty
four year old. Yes, that is my only objection to
(13:53):
that situation, thank you. Yeah, but I will I will
chime in with one quick story. I was girling on
Instagram yesterday and saw this message or this video of
Steve Irwin's kid.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
Yes, the one of the pictures of him with the
snake around his neck.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Is his name.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Stever is the no wait, god, name is Steve. Yeah,
so Steverwin's son. And I was like, damn, he's hot.
And then I looked him up and he's twenty one.
And then I saw twenty one, and then I felt
really bad, and I was like, nope, we're going to
move on from that, and that'll be the end of this.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
Yes, Robert Irwin is his name. And okay, if you
want to look one.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
First of First of all, if you're attracted to men,
look up Robert Irwin, your life will be forever changed.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Yes, he's twenty one.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
And you do feel weird objectifying this, you young man.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
It's a little too young. I definitely thought he was
like at least twenty five or older. So then when
I saw that, I was like, okay, we're moving on.
Speaker 4 (14:44):
So there, we're.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
Really one of the finest, finest specimens in the history
of the freaking world.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
All right, that's going to do it for the Minnesota Goodbye.
