Speaker 1 (00:00):
And now time for the Minnesota goodbye. Jenny is not
here today. She's gonna be back tomorrow. And I really
have enjoyed watching her pictures and videos of her camper
van trip. I really admire her and what a great
vacation for her. She's got a little camper van and
(00:20):
it's just very compact. It's got kind of a mattress
and maybe a cook stove in there, and just enough
to survive in the camper van. And she does wild
camping where she finds a website or an app that's like, well,
you can park here for the night, or you can
park here for the night or on like you know,
federal land or whatever, and they don't kick you off,
but they also don't promote it as camping, right.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Yeah, so well just you just can get away with
being there parking there.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Would you ever do anything like that?
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Yes, I would, And earlier you said that I wouldn't,
and I'm offended. No, I'm not offended, but I would
totally do that. I would prefer not do it by myself.
It would be nice to have.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
Like a friend. Yeah, yeah, I would.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Okay, next one or first one, it says is email.
Basically the whole Minnesota. Goodbye is built on emails. It
is from Rebecca. She says, you can use my name now,
thanks for the shout out. I won an ultra marathon
and set the course female record. Remember we talked about
her last week. Yeah, and I forget what she wrote
(01:21):
in about but she was training for an ultra marathon.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Yeah, and that we had to google ultra marathon and
it's just like anything that's more than a marathon, ultra marathon.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
She said. I was third overall, behind two guys. Storm
the Day is an ultra marathon held in Winona, Minnesota.
It was sunrise to sunset, eleven hours and twelve minutes.
Of how many miles can you cover? I spent about
forty minutes of the day resting and covered. Go ahead
and take a guest Bailey in twelve hours, eleven hours,
twelve minutes. How many miles did she run eleven hours.
(01:55):
I'm gonna say for fifty eight and a half. That's
a amazing That would be about a ten forty eight
mile walking included. Now, even at my fastest, I averaged
about a ten minute mile. I'm not I got stubby
little legs. They're short. I don't have long, lengky athletic legs,
(02:17):
so mine was about ten minutes. So you're very fast
for that long of a time. I ended up only
two miles behind the two men, and I had a
ton of energy left. So I guarantee if I would
have known that in the last few hours, I would
have ran more. You're like me. I always run with
very conservatively, so I'm not exhausted at the end because
I'm not competitive. You know, I run to finish.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
I don't need to lightning fast go past people, and
I wouldn't because I don't run.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
This was a brain child about twelve weeks ago. Never
forget you can do hard things. So Rebecca, that is
so cool, and I will throw out that she is
a calf and heifer nutrition specialist with HAG Partners. Huh,
I love that. I was going to say that word niche. Yes,
that is so cool, But you got to think about
how important that is because of all the beef that
(03:07):
we eat, there's got to be somebody who's got to
be a scientist that knows how to feed them.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
A specialist, it's.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Amazing, who also runs ultra marathons.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Character in a.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Book, right, and she runs marathons. Okay, the next one
is from Marie. I have not pre read it. I
wanted to share that Bailey inspired me to step outside
of my comfort zone and attend a local improv event.
I just moved away from home for my first real
job after grad school. Hello from Grand Rapids, Michigan, and
I did not know anybody here before I moved. This
(03:39):
has been a challenge in itself, and that's a different conversation.
But I want But what I want to get in
is my thirty before the thirty bucket list. Okay, I
turned thirty in February. I have a list of thirty
things I want to do before then. Because of Bailey's
advocacy and passion for improv and theater, I decided to
add c prov to my list, which I'd never done before.
(04:02):
Theater and improv are not really my thing. I come
from a very sports oriented family and upbringing. But I
have to say I really enjoyed it.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
Oh yay.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
I went just last night saw a comedy improv group
called Pop Scholars, and it might have been the first
time I laughed since moving here. I invited a girl
that I met off Bumble BFF and I'm really glad
I stepped outside my comfort zone to attend this, so
thank you, Bailey. Some of the things on my list
that I have done are donate blood, attend a concert
(04:30):
by my favorite artist, get a permanent bracelet, hike at
a national park, try a lobster roll, and go golfing
for the first time. A few of the things that
I've yet to do include making homemade pasta, do ten
pull ups I'm at four, seeing karaoke, and take a
class of some sort. I listen to the show every
day on iHeart, which makes me feel like I have
(04:52):
a little bit of home here with me. Have a
wonderful week, Marie, Marie, I love that, I really love.
We did something on the show earlier, like what are
you working on, and it was like, I'm working on
getting out and doing something with a friend more often,
Like I'm gonna go see my buddy Matt, who's a magician,
on Wednesday. We're gonna hang out for a couple of hours. Yeah, Saturday,
(05:13):
I played dominoes with my friend Melanie. And then when
I'm in Colorado next week, I don't always see my
friend Mike, but I'm going to go out to get
a beer with her.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
You're making an effort to go see people more.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Yeah. Yeah, So we were talking about what you're doing
to improve your life, whether it's like trying to eat
better or trying to learn Spanish or what are you
you know, being a better mom or better daughter or whatever.
So you are working on your bucket list of trying
different kinds of things. I love that.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
I'm proud of you. Also, like, I totally agree. Improv
is the most I've ever laughed ever in my life.
And I was sad that I didn't know what it
was until I was like, I don't know, twenty seven,
But yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
You should keep going.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
And some of the beauty of it is that sometimes
it's really bad and sometimes it's the funniest thing you've
ever seen. And that's kind of the exciting part because
maybe you'll end up seeing bad improv, which sometimes is
even more memorable.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Bailey and I talk about that sometimes because you know,
Bailey's way into that. And I've seen a handful of
improv shows and some are very funny and some are
very cringey. Yes, And what I noticed the last time
I saw improv was one woman of the troop of
probably five or six people carried everything. Yes, and there
was maybe one other woman who was quite funny, but
(06:28):
the other three or four were cringey. Yes, yes, yes,
And I think that improv is I think that comedy
is so subjective. It's kind of like singing, not subjective.
But I think that some people won't admit they can't sing. Yes,
and some people won't admit that they are not funny.
And it's not that they won't admit it, they don't
(06:50):
know that they're not funny.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Yeah, they're like, oh, my friends in high school told
me I was funny, so now I'm going to do improv,
or now I'm going to do stand up. Like just
because your friends told you you were funny doesn't mean
you're funny.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
But well, it's like your friends that told you you
can sing, because we all think we can sing. I
think I can sing pretty well, and I think I
sing average. But I'd never have anybody be like, dang,
Dave's a really good singer.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
Lying to you.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, next one. Hello, morning crew. I've been
listening since my late twenties. I'll be fifty three this month.
I used to love Hirom on the Show and the
Prank calls. He did the Cameltoe bit in particular. I
still own the CDs of those bits. Anyway, you and
Bailey were discussing cars, VW's and bumperstickers. I am a
car gal. I have a two thousand and three Volkswagon
(07:38):
convertible bug pick attached. It's adorable, and my dream vehicle
is a sixty seventies VW bus. My bugs brings bug
brings so many smiles to people, which makes me so happy.
My dad also gifted me as nineteen seventy mock one
Super Cobra Jet Fastback Mustang Wow Wow a lot of words,
and my husband and I got it running again five
(08:00):
years ago. It's been so fun to see my dad
enjoy it again. He has taken it back to our
hometown to show it off and to some local car shows.
I made a side by side picture of him in
the driver's seat at the age of nineteen and another
at the age of sixty five. He has told us
many stories about the trouble he created with his car
back in the day. If you don't know what that
(08:21):
car is, a super Cobra Jet Fast Black fast Back
Mustang Mock one nineteen seven. It's a muscle car. Oh
and picture like black with a white racing stripe down
the hood.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
It.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
It really is a badass car. And I'm not a
car guy. My questions are, what is something sentimental that
you inherited from a family member? And two, what memory?
What is a favorite memory of mom, dad, and grandparents
when they got absolutely giddy over something. My grandparents have passed,
but I'm fortunate to still have my parents around. Thanks
and love you guys. Andrea. Okay, the thing that I inherited,
(08:57):
and this is the first thing that comes to mind,
is probably not my best story, but it was an old,
one hundred year old now roll top wooden desk. My
dad used to work at a bank downtown Colorado Springs
and in the basement and this bank building was probably
it was probably built in like nineteen twenty. It's still there.
He worked like a custodian and in the basement he
(09:18):
found an old, dirty roll top desk and you know
what a rolltop is, And he said, can I have it?
They said, yeah, if you want to haul at home,
take it home. So he took it home. He used
it as his desk, and I used it for homework
when I was a kid, and I was fascinated because
it has all kinds of little nooks and crannies and
(09:41):
compartments and little drawers and a door and little things
that open up. And it was to me as a
little kid. I probably was four or five years old,
and I told myself, I want this desk one day.
I didn't even know that that happens when your parents die,
that you get their things. I I told myself I
want this desk one day. Yeah, and I spilled ink
(10:04):
on it because like back in the day you would write,
you know, with a quill, with not a quill but
a fountain pen where you would dip it. Yeah, And
I spilled my dad's inc on it. And that ink
stain is still there. And I've got it in my basement.
But none of the kids want it. Do you want it?
I don't want it anymore.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
I have space for that. I live in a one bedroom.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
If you want the rolltop desk, let me know, because
I might. I'd probably sell it because it is beautiful. Yeah,
and it's probably worth I mean, it depends on what
a collector would pay for it. But I got to
get rid of it.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
You'd have to get like somebody who restores furniture to
like want to buy it from me?
Speaker 1 (10:36):
It's kind of already restored. Oh yeah, it's in really
good shape. The roll top rolls on it. Well, yeah,
but it adds the character.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
Okay, yeah, you're right.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
What about you? What did you inherit it?
Speaker 2 (10:45):
I don't really inherit much because my whole family's kind
of poor. So I do have like a handful of
dresses that belong to my grandmother that I will never
get rid of, even though they do not fit me anymore.
But I she used to wear them when she was
a young woman, and I'm a young woman, so I
won't get rid of them.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
Okay. In terms of like special.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Memories of my grandparents, I when my my grandpa was younger,
he was like an award winning trap shooter, and so
one like summer that we were there, I was maybe fifteen,
and he was like, do you want to like shoot
targets in the backyard? And I was like, okay, cool,
and I liked it. And you could tell I was
never close with my grandpa until we started shooting in
(11:28):
the backyard.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Oh that's cool.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
You could tell he was so proud and he would
like teach me everything about like here's what this gun does,
and here's this this that, here's how you load blah
blah blah blah blah. And he was always very stern
and very like everything he said was purposeful.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
It was he was not like a jokester at all.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
So and then after that I would just like go
and seek him out, Like if I was bored, I'd
be like, Grandpa, what are you doing. He's like, I'm
fixing this lamp. Do you want to help me? And
then I would help him so that.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
I'm that stat remember really quick watching. The hardest I
ever saw my dad laugh was he was reading a
book called Kids Say the Darnedest Things, and it was
a book that was out probably in the fifties or whatever,
and he was at my grandma's house and he was
reading it and he was laughing so hard he was
(12:18):
crying and he could not stop. And he never never, ever,
ever laughed like that ever, But I remember, and I
can still picture in him just trying to stop, and
he had tears running down his face, and that was
really cool. Continuing on here with another email, Let's see
if I can dig one up. By the way, I
love the pictures. Thank you very much, Andrea. This says
(12:43):
Friday's first hour of the Minnesota Goodbye. Okay, Friday's first
hour sounded more like the Minnesota Goodbye with the funny
shower washing topic. Oh, I know what it was, because
it's totally random. On the show Friday Morning, Yeah, we were.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
Talking about loofahs and washclaus and all that.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
And whether you watch with just a barisp or whatever. Yeah.
This text goes on to say I used to be
a bar of soap guy and did exactly how Dave
describes how he does now. I just use a big
jug of Panteene shampoo my wife has in the shower
because no company can tell me shampoo is not body wash.
Also probably right, I use my hand and credit card
(13:19):
in my cheeks, okay and all that, just like Dave
swipes and wipes. Dave did write a book about showering daily.
Vaughn says, using your hand as a red flag. But
hands come clean, and it's soap you're in the shower. True.
The worst was recently I moved into the Chaska Chan
area and thought I would never come clean. After a
stop while getting all my oil changed, I had my
(13:41):
dog so I took him for a walk around some
taller grass and weeds, and lo and behold, I slid
into some giant pile of poop. Some yokel must have
shit out. This is the weirdest email ever. I was
wearing flip flops too, which made it all the worse.
I contemplated bleach. Actually, okay, that's from Ellie Elliott. That
was an interesting email.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
So he had he got oil.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
On his hands and he couldn't get it out, so
he considered using bleach.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
To get it out.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Poop.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Oh, yeah, he got a poop on his hands. Yeah, okay,
well you know, okay, it happens to the best of it.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
Thank you Elliott. Appreciate that, all right. Next one, Tyler says,
I'm watching the Ed Geen Netflix show, and I couldn't
help but think of how of you when ed was
babysitting the kids and did magic tricks for them, turning
a fingerbone into a real finger. Why can't you do
that magic trick? Dave good bit. Yeah, there's a freaky
(14:34):
scene where he is he's watching little kids like five
and eight years old, and he gets him in the car,
takes him back to his house where he's got body parts,
and he's like, I'm going to show you a magic trick.
And these kids are terrified. They're like, what the fuck?
And so he pulls out a finger bone. He's like, look,
it's a fingerbone. That's not real. Yes it is. It's
(14:54):
a real fingerbone. And then he turns it into a
real human finger because the sick motherfucker is going real
human fingers around the house.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
Ye.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Also, Ed is played by the main character of Sons
of Anarchy. If you didn't know, I didn't know that,
but I never saw Sons of My Anarchy, So thank you.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
It's like something you would watch.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Oh, I was gonna say, I keep bringing it up
because every time you're finished with something, you're like, I
need to watch something new, and I bring it up.
I don't know twice a year that you have to
watch eleven twenty two sixty three.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
I think that's why.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Yeah, I know it is. Yeah, I read the book.
You have to watch he goes back in time.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Yeah, because it's a Stephen King book and it's James
franco Is in it, and this guy goes back in
time to the day that John F. Kennedy was assassinated
and so then like the whole thing, like he goes
back I don't know, a week before and so he's
like meeting all of the people who are involved, and
he meets the god, well who's the guy that kills him?
(15:49):
That guy Lee Harvey Oswald and everything, and it's it's terrifying,
but like I could handle it, So you could watch it.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
I don't know why I never watched it. That is
a good one. I do know that Susan would never
watch it with me. That would be a solo watch.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
Do you watch Monster?
Speaker 1 (16:05):
Yeah, then she'll watch this. Oh okay, all right, I'll
try it out because I read the book when it
was out ten fifteen years ago, and I really I've
always been fascinated with the Kennedy assassination. We're not going
to get into that, but it's always been so so
interesting to me. Did you know at one time that
I used to own Lee Harvey Oswald's toe tag? Yes,
(16:25):
not making this up. It is one hundred percent true.
Lee Harvey Oswald, the guy who shot JFK. When he died,
he was shot two days later, and he had a
toe tag and it had a piece of his hair
tied into the string. I guess for some reason, when
(16:46):
he died and they took the toe tag off of him,
they gave it to his brother. His brother had it laminated.
So the toe tag, you could tell, was an old
yellow toe tag with a piece of lee Harvey Oswald's hair,
just a little lock about maybe an inch or so long,
tied in the string, and it had the date of
the date of death, and the nurse and the doctor
(17:06):
in the hospital and whatever on one side, and something
else on the other side. And his brother, who owned it,
needed the money. So in nineteen ninety four he sold it. Yeah,
and I bought it. And I asked the guy who
was doing the auction. I said, how much should I
bid for it? He goes, well, bid as much as
(17:28):
you think you should, so you wouldn't regret if you
almost got it.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
No.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
In other words, so for example, if you bid five
thousand dollars and you heard somebody got it for six,
would you kick yourself, going, well, shit, I would have
paid six. So he said, what's the most you would
pay and be happy with it? Bid that? So I
bid eight thousand dollars and I got it, and I
couldn't believe it, and made national news and they talked
(17:54):
about it on the Jay Leno Show or whatever, and
it was in USA Today or whatever, I believe in
People magazine. And I had it for years and it
was about the size of the palm of your hand. Yeah,
And after a couple of years, I don't know why
I sold it. I wish to God that i'd kept it,
because it would be just such a cool fucking thing
(18:15):
to say I own Lee Harvey Oswalld's to tag.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
But the more I thought about it, the more I thought,
this is weird and gross.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
Yeah, why do I have this?
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Why do I have it? It's a piece of history,
but also not really a piece of history, but it is.
So I sold it to Ripley's, believe it or not,
and last I heard it was on display in their
museum in Dallas, Texas.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
Cool. How much did you sell it for? Do you remember?
Speaker 1 (18:37):
About eight hundred eight No, eight eight hundred dollars?
Speaker 3 (18:41):
Okay, so you made a little bit.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Just a little bit.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
Yeah, but still you should see that show. You would
like it.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
You're right, yes, I should. Yes, So we were got
off topic.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
I'll text you about it.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Last email is from Secretary Bree. She says Hey, Hey,
I'm sitting at session seven of seven of eight of
hockey tryouts and trying to kill time since we are
not allowed to. I'm listening and have some follow up.
I have to say, I can never ever leave my
car when it's filling with gas. When I was sixteen,
I did and the lever got stuck, and when I
(19:10):
took the nozzle out, gas sprayed everywhere. It broke my trust,
and I have never taken my hand off the handle
while filling up again. I sit out there and freeze miserably,
even when it's thirty below zero. We talked about that
last week. It's actually forbidden by law in Minnesota to
get in your car leave when you're pumping gas. I
also never get car washes, but I vacuum the inside
(19:32):
of my car on a weekly basis. The vacuums in
our town at a local car wash are free, so
I go weekly to get rid of dog hair and
kid crumbs left behind, and it makes me feel so
much better. Having a clean car feels so nice. Okay,
that's all for now, Love you by thanks Bree. I
never get my car vacuumed because I've had the opposite
experience the car wash vacuums don't suck powerfully enough. Do
(19:57):
you ever vacuum your car?
Speaker 2 (19:58):
I did it one time when I was going to
like drive someone to the airport, and I wanted to
make a good impression.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
But that is it. It was only that one time.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
I want to go to one of those really fancy
car wash places that have all of the like vacuums
in a row outside with like the giant arm.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Yes, I know what's talking about their new.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Yeah, And I've never been to one, but I always
see them and they intimidate me because I need to
like go with someone and then have them show me.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
What to do. I got you, yeah, just like you know,
going in myself.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
Yeah, no, I know what you mean. They're kind of
popping up. There's one in Eden Prairie where the Burger
King used to sit, and they've got colorful pipes and
neon and things like that. There's also one in the
corner of one oh one and seven in Minnetonka. And
again i've mister, mister, yeah, this is it what it is?
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Because I know there's one in Coon Rapids because's where
I used to live by there. So yeah, I've never been,
but they're everywhere now, they're everywhere.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
Give me your yelp review. If you've been to a
mister mister car wash, give me your yelp review and
anything that you want to say about it.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
Yeah, help us out because I want to go to one,
but I'm skeared.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
I get it, Bailey, You'll be all, You'll be okay.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
Yeah, thank you.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
That'll do it for the Minnesota. Goodbye. Send us an email.
We would love to hear from you no matter what
you want to bring up. Uh so send that into
Ryan's show at KDWB dot com. Thank you for being here.
And now time for the Minnesota goodbye. Jenny is not
here today. She's gonna be back tomorrow. And I really
have enjoyed watching her pictures and videos of her camper
van trip. I really admire her and what a great
vacation for her. She's got a little camper van and
(00:20):
it's just very compact. It's got kind of a mattress
and maybe a cook stove in there, and just enough
to survive in the camper van. And she does wild
camping where she finds a website or an app that's like, well,
you can park here for the night, or you can
park here for the night or on like you know,
federal land or whatever, and they don't kick you off,
but they also don't promote it as camping, right.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Yeah, so well just you just can get away with
being there parking there.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Would you ever do anything like that?
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Yes, I would, And earlier you said that I wouldn't,
and I'm offended. No, I'm not offended, but I would
totally do that. I would prefer not do it by myself.
It would be nice to have.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
Like a friend. Yeah, yeah, I would.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Okay, next one or first one, it says is email.
Basically the whole Minnesota. Goodbye is built on emails. It
is from Rebecca. She says, you can use my name now,
thanks for the shout out. I won an ultra marathon
and set the course female record. Remember we talked about
her last week. Yeah, and I forget what she wrote
(01:21):
in about but she was training for an ultra marathon.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Yeah, and that we had to google ultra marathon and
it's just like anything that's more than a marathon, ultra marathon.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
She said. I was third overall, behind two guys. Storm
the Day is an ultra marathon held in Winona, Minnesota.
It was sunrise to sunset, eleven hours and twelve minutes.
Of how many miles can you cover? I spent about
forty minutes of the day resting and covered. Go ahead
and take a guest Bailey in twelve hours, eleven hours,
twelve minutes. How many miles did she run eleven hours.
(01:55):
I'm gonna say for fifty eight and a half. That's
a amazing That would be about a ten forty eight
mile walking included. Now, even at my fastest, I averaged
about a ten minute mile. I'm not I got stubby
little legs. They're short. I don't have long, lengky athletic legs,
(02:17):
so mine was about ten minutes. So you're very fast
for that long of a time. I ended up only
two miles behind the two men, and I had a
ton of energy left. So I guarantee if I would
have known that in the last few hours, I would
have ran more. You're like me. I always run with
very conservatively, so I'm not exhausted at the end because
I'm not competitive. You know, I run to finish.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
I don't need to lightning fast go past people, and
I wouldn't because I don't run.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
This was a brain child about twelve weeks ago. Never
forget you can do hard things. So Rebecca, that is
so cool, and I will throw out that she is
a calf and heifer nutrition specialist with HAG Partners. Huh,
I love that. I was going to say that word niche. Yes,
that is so cool, But you got to think about
how important that is because of all the beef that
(03:07):
we eat, there's got to be somebody who's got to
be a scientist that knows how to feed them.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
A specialist, it's.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Amazing, who also runs ultra marathons.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Character in a.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Book, right, and she runs marathons. Okay, the next one
is from Marie. I have not pre read it. I
wanted to share that Bailey inspired me to step outside
of my comfort zone and attend a local improv event.
I just moved away from home for my first real
job after grad school. Hello from Grand Rapids, Michigan, and
I did not know anybody here before I moved. This
(03:39):
has been a challenge in itself, and that's a different conversation.
But I want But what I want to get in
is my thirty before the thirty bucket list. Okay, I
turned thirty in February. I have a list of thirty
things I want to do before then. Because of Bailey's
advocacy and passion for improv and theater, I decided to
add c prov to my list, which I'd never done before.
(04:02):
Theater and improv are not really my thing. I come
from a very sports oriented family and upbringing. But I
have to say I really enjoyed it.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
Oh yay.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
I went just last night saw a comedy improv group
called Pop Scholars, and it might have been the first
time I laughed since moving here. I invited a girl
that I met off Bumble BFF and I'm really glad
I stepped outside my comfort zone to attend this, so
thank you, Bailey. Some of the things on my list
that I have done are donate blood, attend a concert
(04:30):
by my favorite artist, get a permanent bracelet, hike at
a national park, try a lobster roll, and go golfing
for the first time. A few of the things that
I've yet to do include making homemade pasta, do ten
pull ups I'm at four, seeing karaoke, and take a
class of some sort. I listen to the show every
day on iHeart, which makes me feel like I have
(04:52):
a little bit of home here with me. Have a
wonderful week, Marie, Marie, I love that, I really love.
We did something on the show earlier, like what are
you working on, and it was like, I'm working on
getting out and doing something with a friend more often,
Like I'm gonna go see my buddy Matt, who's a magician,
on Wednesday. We're gonna hang out for a couple of hours. Yeah, Saturday,
(05:13):
I played dominoes with my friend Melanie. And then when
I'm in Colorado next week, I don't always see my
friend Mike, but I'm going to go out to get
a beer with her.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
You're making an effort to go see people more.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Yeah. Yeah, So we were talking about what you're doing
to improve your life, whether it's like trying to eat
better or trying to learn Spanish or what are you
you know, being a better mom or better daughter or whatever.
So you are working on your bucket list of trying
different kinds of things. I love that.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
I'm proud of you. Also, like, I totally agree. Improv
is the most I've ever laughed ever in my life.
And I was sad that I didn't know what it
was until I was like, I don't know, twenty seven,
But yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
You should keep going.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
And some of the beauty of it is that sometimes
it's really bad and sometimes it's the funniest thing you've
ever seen. And that's kind of the exciting part because
maybe you'll end up seeing bad improv, which sometimes is
even more memorable.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Bailey and I talk about that sometimes because you know,
Bailey's way into that. And I've seen a handful of
improv shows and some are very funny and some are
very cringey. Yes, And what I noticed the last time
I saw improv was one woman of the troop of
probably five or six people carried everything. Yes, and there
was maybe one other woman who was quite funny, but
(06:28):
the other three or four were cringey. Yes, yes, yes,
And I think that improv is I think that comedy
is so subjective. It's kind of like singing, not subjective.
But I think that some people won't admit they can't sing. Yes,
and some people won't admit that they are not funny.
And it's not that they won't admit it, they don't
(06:50):
know that they're not funny.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Yeah, they're like, oh, my friends in high school told
me I was funny, so now I'm going to do improv,
or now I'm going to do stand up. Like just
because your friends told you you were funny doesn't mean
you're funny.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
But well, it's like your friends that told you you
can sing, because we all think we can sing. I
think I can sing pretty well, and I think I
sing average. But I'd never have anybody be like, dang,
Dave's a really good singer.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
Lying to you.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, next one. Hello, morning crew. I've been
listening since my late twenties. I'll be fifty three this month.
I used to love Hirom on the Show and the
Prank calls. He did the Cameltoe bit in particular. I
still own the CDs of those bits. Anyway, you and
Bailey were discussing cars, VW's and bumperstickers. I am a
car gal. I have a two thousand and three Volkswagon
(07:38):
convertible bug pick attached. It's adorable, and my dream vehicle
is a sixty seventies VW bus. My bugs brings bug
brings so many smiles to people, which makes me so happy.
My dad also gifted me as nineteen seventy mock one
Super Cobra Jet Fastback Mustang Wow Wow a lot of words,
and my husband and I got it running again five
(08:00):
years ago. It's been so fun to see my dad
enjoy it again. He has taken it back to our
hometown to show it off and to some local car shows.
I made a side by side picture of him in
the driver's seat at the age of nineteen and another
at the age of sixty five. He has told us
many stories about the trouble he created with his car
back in the day. If you don't know what that
(08:21):
car is, a super Cobra Jet Fast Black fast Back
Mustang Mock one nineteen seven. It's a muscle car. Oh
and picture like black with a white racing stripe down
the hood.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
It.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
It really is a badass car. And I'm not a
car guy. My questions are, what is something sentimental that
you inherited from a family member? And two, what memory?
What is a favorite memory of mom, dad, and grandparents
when they got absolutely giddy over something. My grandparents have passed,
but I'm fortunate to still have my parents around. Thanks
and love you guys. Andrea. Okay, the thing that I inherited,
(08:57):
and this is the first thing that comes to mind,
is probably not my best story, but it was an old,
one hundred year old now roll top wooden desk. My
dad used to work at a bank downtown Colorado Springs
and in the basement and this bank building was probably
it was probably built in like nineteen twenty. It's still there.
He worked like a custodian and in the basement he
(09:18):
found an old, dirty roll top desk and you know
what a rolltop is, And he said, can I have it?
They said, yeah, if you want to haul at home,
take it home. So he took it home. He used
it as his desk, and I used it for homework
when I was a kid, and I was fascinated because
it has all kinds of little nooks and crannies and
(09:41):
compartments and little drawers and a door and little things
that open up. And it was to me as a
little kid. I probably was four or five years old,
and I told myself, I want this desk one day.
I didn't even know that that happens when your parents die,
that you get their things. I I told myself I
want this desk one day. Yeah, and I spilled ink
(10:04):
on it because like back in the day you would write,
you know, with a quill, with not a quill but
a fountain pen where you would dip it. Yeah, And
I spilled my dad's inc on it. And that ink
stain is still there. And I've got it in my basement.
But none of the kids want it. Do you want it?
I don't want it anymore.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
I have space for that. I live in a one bedroom.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
If you want the rolltop desk, let me know, because
I might. I'd probably sell it because it is beautiful. Yeah,
and it's probably worth I mean, it depends on what
a collector would pay for it. But I got to
get rid of it.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
You'd have to get like somebody who restores furniture to
like want to buy it from me?
Speaker 1 (10:36):
It's kind of already restored. Oh yeah, it's in really
good shape. The roll top rolls on it. Well, yeah,
but it adds the character.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
Okay, yeah, you're right.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
What about you? What did you inherit it?
Speaker 2 (10:45):
I don't really inherit much because my whole family's kind
of poor. So I do have like a handful of
dresses that belong to my grandmother that I will never
get rid of, even though they do not fit me anymore.
But I she used to wear them when she was
a young woman, and I'm a young woman, so I
won't get rid of them.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
Okay. In terms of like special.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Memories of my grandparents, I when my my grandpa was younger,
he was like an award winning trap shooter, and so
one like summer that we were there, I was maybe fifteen,
and he was like, do you want to like shoot
targets in the backyard? And I was like, okay, cool,
and I liked it. And you could tell I was
never close with my grandpa until we started shooting in
(11:28):
the backyard.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Oh that's cool.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
You could tell he was so proud and he would
like teach me everything about like here's what this gun does,
and here's this this that, here's how you load blah
blah blah blah blah. And he was always very stern
and very like everything he said was purposeful.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
It was he was not like a jokester at all.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
So and then after that I would just like go
and seek him out, Like if I was bored, I'd
be like, Grandpa, what are you doing. He's like, I'm
fixing this lamp. Do you want to help me? And
then I would help him so that.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
I'm that stat remember really quick watching. The hardest I
ever saw my dad laugh was he was reading a
book called Kids Say the Darnedest Things, and it was
a book that was out probably in the fifties or whatever,
and he was at my grandma's house and he was
reading it and he was laughing so hard he was
(12:18):
crying and he could not stop. And he never never, ever,
ever laughed like that ever, But I remember, and I
can still picture in him just trying to stop, and
he had tears running down his face, and that was
really cool. Continuing on here with another email, Let's see
if I can dig one up. By the way, I
love the pictures. Thank you very much, Andrea. This says
(12:43):
Friday's first hour of the Minnesota Goodbye. Okay, Friday's first
hour sounded more like the Minnesota Goodbye with the funny
shower washing topic. Oh, I know what it was, because
it's totally random. On the show Friday Morning, Yeah, we were.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
Talking about loofahs and washclaus and all that.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
And whether you watch with just a barisp or whatever. Yeah.
This text goes on to say I used to be
a bar of soap guy and did exactly how Dave
describes how he does now. I just use a big
jug of Panteene shampoo my wife has in the shower
because no company can tell me shampoo is not body wash.
Also probably right, I use my hand and credit card
(13:19):
in my cheeks, okay and all that, just like Dave
swipes and wipes. Dave did write a book about showering daily.
Vaughn says, using your hand as a red flag. But
hands come clean, and it's soap you're in the shower. True.
The worst was recently I moved into the Chaska Chan
area and thought I would never come clean. After a
stop while getting all my oil changed, I had my
(13:41):
dog so I took him for a walk around some
taller grass and weeds, and lo and behold, I slid
into some giant pile of poop. Some yokel must have
shit out. This is the weirdest email ever. I was
wearing flip flops too, which made it all the worse.
I contemplated bleach. Actually, okay, that's from Ellie Elliott. That
was an interesting email.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
So he had he got oil.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
On his hands and he couldn't get it out, so
he considered using bleach.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
To get it out.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Poop.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Oh, yeah, he got a poop on his hands. Yeah, okay,
well you know, okay, it happens to the best of it.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
Thank you Elliott. Appreciate that, all right. Next one, Tyler says,
I'm watching the Ed Geen Netflix show, and I couldn't
help but think of how of you when ed was
babysitting the kids and did magic tricks for them, turning
a fingerbone into a real finger. Why can't you do
that magic trick? Dave good bit. Yeah, there's a freaky
(14:34):
scene where he is he's watching little kids like five
and eight years old, and he gets him in the car,
takes him back to his house where he's got body parts,
and he's like, I'm going to show you a magic trick.
And these kids are terrified. They're like, what the fuck?
And so he pulls out a finger bone. He's like, look,
it's a fingerbone. That's not real. Yes it is. It's
(14:54):
a real fingerbone. And then he turns it into a
real human finger because the sick motherfucker is going real
human fingers around the house.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
Ye.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Also, Ed is played by the main character of Sons
of Anarchy. If you didn't know, I didn't know that,
but I never saw Sons of My Anarchy, So thank you.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
It's like something you would watch.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Oh, I was gonna say, I keep bringing it up
because every time you're finished with something, you're like, I
need to watch something new, and I bring it up.
I don't know twice a year that you have to
watch eleven twenty two sixty three.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
I think that's why.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Yeah, I know it is. Yeah, I read the book.
You have to watch he goes back in time.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Yeah, because it's a Stephen King book and it's James
franco Is in it, and this guy goes back in
time to the day that John F. Kennedy was assassinated
and so then like the whole thing, like he goes
back I don't know, a week before and so he's
like meeting all of the people who are involved, and
he meets the god, well who's the guy that kills him?
(15:49):
That guy Lee Harvey Oswald and everything, and it's it's terrifying,
but like I could handle it, So you could watch it.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
I don't know why I never watched it. That is
a good one. I do know that Susan would never
watch it with me. That would be a solo watch.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
Do you watch Monster?
Speaker 1 (16:05):
Yeah, then she'll watch this. Oh okay, all right, I'll
try it out because I read the book when it
was out ten fifteen years ago, and I really I've
always been fascinated with the Kennedy assassination. We're not going
to get into that, but it's always been so so
interesting to me. Did you know at one time that
I used to own Lee Harvey Oswald's toe tag? Yes,
(16:25):
not making this up. It is one hundred percent true.
Lee Harvey Oswald, the guy who shot JFK. When he died,
he was shot two days later, and he had a
toe tag and it had a piece of his hair
tied into the string. I guess for some reason, when
(16:46):
he died and they took the toe tag off of him,
they gave it to his brother. His brother had it laminated.
So the toe tag, you could tell, was an old
yellow toe tag with a piece of lee Harvey Oswald's hair,
just a little lock about maybe an inch or so long,
tied in the string, and it had the date of
the date of death, and the nurse and the doctor
(17:06):
in the hospital and whatever on one side, and something
else on the other side. And his brother, who owned it,
needed the money. So in nineteen ninety four he sold it. Yeah,
and I bought it. And I asked the guy who
was doing the auction. I said, how much should I
bid for it? He goes, well, bid as much as
(17:28):
you think you should, so you wouldn't regret if you
almost got it.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
No.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
In other words, so for example, if you bid five
thousand dollars and you heard somebody got it for six,
would you kick yourself, going, well, shit, I would have
paid six. So he said, what's the most you would
pay and be happy with it? Bid that? So I
bid eight thousand dollars and I got it, and I
couldn't believe it, and made national news and they talked
(17:54):
about it on the Jay Leno Show or whatever, and
it was in USA Today or whatever, I believe in
People magazine. And I had it for years and it
was about the size of the palm of your hand. Yeah,
And after a couple of years, I don't know why
I sold it. I wish to God that i'd kept it,
because it would be just such a cool fucking thing
(18:15):
to say I own Lee Harvey Oswalld's to tag.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
But the more I thought about it, the more I thought,
this is weird and gross.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
Yeah, why do I have this?
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Why do I have it? It's a piece of history,
but also not really a piece of history, but it is.
So I sold it to Ripley's, believe it or not,
and last I heard it was on display in their
museum in Dallas, Texas.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
Cool. How much did you sell it for? Do you remember?
Speaker 1 (18:37):
About eight hundred eight No, eight eight hundred dollars?
Speaker 3 (18:41):
Okay, so you made a little bit.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Just a little bit.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
Yeah, but still you should see that show. You would
like it.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
You're right, yes, I should. Yes, So we were got
off topic.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
I'll text you about it.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Last email is from Secretary Bree. She says Hey, Hey,
I'm sitting at session seven of seven of eight of
hockey tryouts and trying to kill time since we are
not allowed to. I'm listening and have some follow up.
I have to say, I can never ever leave my
car when it's filling with gas. When I was sixteen,
I did and the lever got stuck, and when I
(19:10):
took the nozzle out, gas sprayed everywhere. It broke my trust,
and I have never taken my hand off the handle
while filling up again. I sit out there and freeze miserably,
even when it's thirty below zero. We talked about that
last week. It's actually forbidden by law in Minnesota to
get in your car leave when you're pumping gas. I
also never get car washes, but I vacuum the inside
(19:32):
of my car on a weekly basis. The vacuums in
our town at a local car wash are free, so
I go weekly to get rid of dog hair and
kid crumbs left behind, and it makes me feel so
much better. Having a clean car feels so nice. Okay,
that's all for now, Love you by thanks Bree. I
never get my car vacuumed because I've had the opposite
experience the car wash vacuums don't suck powerfully enough. Do
(19:57):
you ever vacuum your car?
Speaker 2 (19:58):
I did it one time when I was going to
like drive someone to the airport, and I wanted to
make a good impression.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
But that is it. It was only that one time.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
I want to go to one of those really fancy
car wash places that have all of the like vacuums
in a row outside with like the giant arm.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Yes, I know what's talking about their new.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Yeah, And I've never been to one, but I always
see them and they intimidate me because I need to
like go with someone and then have them show me.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
What to do. I got you, yeah, just like you know,
going in myself.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
Yeah, no, I know what you mean. They're kind of
popping up. There's one in Eden Prairie where the Burger
King used to sit, and they've got colorful pipes and
neon and things like that. There's also one in the
corner of one oh one and seven in Minnetonka. And
again i've mister, mister, yeah, this is it what it is?
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Because I know there's one in Coon Rapids because's where
I used to live by there. So yeah, I've never been,
but they're everywhere now, they're everywhere.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
Give me your yelp review. If you've been to a
mister mister car wash, give me your yelp review and
anything that you want to say about it.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
Yeah, help us out because I want to go to one,
but I'm skeared.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
I get it, Bailey, You'll be all, You'll be okay.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
Yeah, thank you.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
That'll do it for the Minnesota. Goodbye. Send us an email.
We would love to hear from you no matter what
you want to bring up. Uh so send that into
Ryan's show at KDWB dot com. Thank you for being here.
