Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to the final Minnesota Goodbye of twenty twenty five,
and we're going to wrap it up with We're going
to try to get to as many emails as we can.
I'm gonna be honest with you. Summer a little bit longer,
and I may get to them or I may not.
I think one of the things about about Minnesota Goodbye
emails is it may be tempting to make them long.
(00:23):
But a lot of the time we will edit one
out because it is too long. Yeah, and that's simply
because it can take this one. I've got it in
front of me, and it's a wonderful email. It would
probably take me six or seven minutes to read this
entire email, please, and that is a lot lot. So
we're gonna skip to this one, which but I appreciate
all of them. But I would think, just as a guideline,
if you can kind of like encapsulate'll do the condensed
(00:46):
version that'll give your email, because I know you want
to hear your email on the radio, I mean on
the Minnesota I would it's like, oh, they're doing my emails.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Me.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Here's one that's really easy. Don't say my name. Now
that the year is ending some questions to wrap up
the year for y'all. Number one, what was your song
of the year. I would say, uh, it was probably
blended into last year, but I would say Espresso, but
also ordinary and but also I had in my mind
last night that De Fate of a feelybe so catchy, Jenny,
(01:25):
your favorite song of the year.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
I liked a lot of Sabrina Carpenter's album, specifically House
Tour and Nobody's Son are some of my favorites. But
then I also really liked Somber a lot. Yeah, it
kind of came out of nowhere.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
Okay, Okay, I don't know, y'all, because honestly, I mostly
just listened to show tunes, so you don't play any
of those on air.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Okay. What was your favorite movie that you watched this year?
Off the top of my head, I would say One
Battle after Another because I really liked it. But if
I went over a list of movies I saw this year,
I'd probably find one that i'd like better, Jenny.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
Top of mind for me is The Housemaid because I
just want to see it in the movie theater like
a week ago, and.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
It was really good.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
The Housemaid. Yeah, Housemaid Carson wants to see that tonight.
What's it about.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
So it's about this like rich family and they hire
this woman to like live in the house with them.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
And then it goes dark.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
There's a lot of manipulation and craziness and twists and
turns and stuff. I'm assuming you and Carson are past
the point where like sex scenes wouldn't make you uncomfortable.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
No, once we saw Straight out of Compton, Yeah then, yeah,
then we did.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
It was like just a warning on that because you
definitely see Sidney Sweeney's boobies.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Nice.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Yeah, I really liked uh Superman.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
That was this summer, and that one's new, but once
that's not not new but new to me. I saw
Past Lives this year. I cried so much. That's probably
one of my new favorite movies I've ever seen. It
was so good and romantic and beautiful.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
I love it all right. Next one, what celebrity news
was the most shocking or newsworthy for you? Rob Ryner?
I would say that was shocked one percent shocking. But
I have to go back through the year to see
if there was anything more newsworthy to me, But I
don't think anything tops the shocking list.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
Bailing not necessarily shocking, but shocking to me. Run Robert
Redford died, I was really sad. I love Robert Redford.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
He's been my favorite actor since I was literally like
fifteen years old.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
So, okay, Jenny Michelle Trottenberg, I think that's what you
seen your last name. But she was on Gossip Girl
and like a bunch of other things, so she was
kind of my era growing up as a millennial, and
she died very young. I think she had a sickness,
but that was like kind of out of nowhere.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Yes, I agree.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
What was your most or one of your most memorable
moments from this past year. I would say taking the
new RV two Yellowstone and back with Carson and Susan.
It was just an epic trip. We loved it. And
I would say either buying the RV or that trip.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Jenny, That's tough, because I did get to go on
like some really wool trips this year. But I think
i'd probably put just like the overall experience of doing
a camera van around the country of Iceland with my sister,
Oh yeah, oh so much.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
Yeah, And I was going to my god, Graceland, going
to Graceland with my mom.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
That's very cool. Yeah, all right, thank you for that one.
Hope you have a fantastic end of your year. Thanks
for all that you do and keeping me entertained while
I am at work. You are soe welcome. All right,
another comment about the ads during the podcast. Even though
you know we're powerless to do anything, it still annoys
me that somebody who is supposed to be good at
(04:34):
what they do doesn't know how to do their job. Well.
I've been a huge fan, longtime listener. I feel the
need to write in and tell you the ads making
the podcast are making the podcast almost unbearable. There are
more than several minutes of ads, and they ruin the
flow of the podcast. I want to give iHeart the
opportunity to fix this issue. So I felt the need
to let you know I'm afraid I will stop listening
(04:55):
soon because of the overwhelming ads.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
I don't know who to contact.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
I don't know. It doesn't matter because we've complained about
it before, and I'll send it to Rich, and Rich
will send it to whoever, and then nothing gets done.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
The most I can do, maybe I'll try this today,
is put all of the ads at the end.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
I can try to do that.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Do that, Yeah, put them all at the end, because
then we're done technically.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
It says I have to have a mid role at
to say.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
It's not like Bailey is like purposely trying to put
it in the middle.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
I try to, like she does, put it in a
spot where we're about to change subjects.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
So that's where I'm trying to do. But I don't
have a say over a y'lsar. Sorry.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Kevin from Woodbury also writes in the same thing, he says,
and it goes on about the ads and that is
just like you know, it's annoying, and some are louder
than the rest of the show. But he says, anyway,
as Christopher said yesterday, despite the annoyance, I still love
you guys, and I won't be deterred from listening. Thanks
for all you do, and I hope all four of
(05:51):
you and your families have a merry Christmas and happy
New Year and take some time to rest. Dark dart
lick lick. Oh what a relief it is? Do you
get that joke?
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Yeah? Pop pop fizz fizz, Oh, what a relief it is?
Speaker 4 (06:05):
Yeah, Yeah, that's uh oh seltzer Alka Seltzer.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Alka Seltzer very good.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Okay, I didn't know that. I'm so bad with jingles. Uh.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Okay. Next one, Oh that's a that's a not for
the Minnesota goodbye. Uh no to that one. Let's try
this one, Jenny Bailey. If you guys read the Housemaid
book and went and saw the movie, what did you
guys think? Well, you just kind of talked about that.
I went and saw this weekend. I have mixed feelings.
(06:35):
I think they missed some important events in the book,
but overall, I was happy with the movie. What does
your guys think? Love, y'all, Merry Christmas, Halle anything that
you want to tack onto your comments?
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Jenny or Bailey, I unfortunately haven't read the book.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
I plan on it, and then I end up seeing
the movie first, so I don't really I can't really
say what was good and bad about it compared to
the book.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
And my I literally just accepted the whole, like the
hold expired on my book yesterday and I just sporrowed
it for my library so I can listen to the audiobook.
So I've not listened to it or read it or
seen the movie or anything yet.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
I'm completely in.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
The dark, Wannita writes in she says, yes, now I'm
pissed the fuck off because I left out the beautiful,
wonderful Secretary Bri. I didn't mean to forget you, Breebrie.
Merry Christmas to you and happy New Year. I knew
you forgot. Just like one day when I win the
Nobel Peace Prize, I'm gonna get up and I'm gonna
forget to thank moy I don't know, Susan or something
(07:29):
like that. Of course, it reminds me of the time.
This is one of my stupid mistakes. The Radio Award,
the Marconi is radio's edition of the Grammys or the Oscars.
So I'm sitting at the table during the awards ceremony
in twenty eleven, big formal banquet they have it in
New York, and you fly out and you put on
a suit and you have dinner. In the whole time
you're nervous about who's gonna win and that type thing.
(07:51):
So I'm sitting there next to a guy named Art,
and Art is like just a friend of radio, and
he does a bunch of videos and he's everybody in
radio loves Art, and so Art is on my left,
Susan's on my right, like okay, and now the nominees
and blah blah blah, and the winner is Dave Ryan
(08:11):
ktie WB. I was so shocked that I stood up,
turned away from Susan, who held her arms open, and
I hugged Art art, and Art hugged me back in
a big pat on the back. And I didn't even
hug or acknowledge. Susan left her standing there like Jesus
(08:32):
Christ hanging on across.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Oh no.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
And then later Susan's like she got it. She was
very understanding. Because I was so in shock. I sat
in the back of the room on purpose because I
was certain I wasn't gonna win.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
But you were nominated, so don't you have to at
least think maybe you could win.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
I showed up. Okay, Yeah, I showed up next one.
Nate writes in Good Morning and All Merry Almost Christmas,
Bailey did a Daily Bailey asking about family drama. I
want to give you some of my own. Oh hell yeah.
When I was younger, we go to my grandparents, my
dad's parents for Christmas every October because they were snowbirds,
(09:15):
and they left for Arizona mid November. Have fond memories of
playing with my cousins, opening gifts in the basement and Wyndham, Minnesota.
Now my dad is a strained from his family, which
is a longer story than I have time to write,
but I still stayed in touch with my cousins and
my dad's siblings and spouses. Grandma passed away during COVID
and we had a memorial service the following September when
(09:37):
things opened up. So I was invited along with my
family to memorial service in Wyndam, Minnesota. Okay, so now
bring us up to the present day here or current anyway,
The actual service went smoothly, all the cousins there flying
in from across the country except for the ones in rehab.
There was a hotel they were all staying at, but
since I had two young kids, we decided to head
(09:58):
home after the luncheon in the church basement instead of
joining them all. As it turns out, it's a good
thing we did. Apparently, one of my uncles started drinking
in the lobby of the hotel, started spouting off to
his son about all his grievances against his kids, his mom,
and it culminated in them getting in a shoving match,
a shoving match and having to be separated. Underlying all
this was the fact that my uncle had tried to
(10:20):
sell my grandma's house and then pocket the money without
telling anybody what. They bought a new vehicle with their
inheritance and as well as some other debts. But my
aunt caught them in their lives and it blew up
in their faces. Oh shit. Needless to say, we don't
get together with them for any holidays anymore and only
(10:40):
keep in contact with our cousins through Facebook and the
Christmas cards. Sorry for the long email, but I hope
you enjoyed a small glimpse in my family's drama involving
the holidays. Merry Christmas, and thank you as always for
making each day better for so many. Thank you, sincerely, Nate.
I will tell you, Nate and anybody listening, money is
going to make you fight with your family, probably more
(11:02):
than anything else. I never saw fighting in my family
and never really saw bad behavior in my family except
over money and when Dad died. I don't want to
give any details because I don't know who listens, but
there was money shit going on, and I fortunately am
(11:22):
not in a position where I desperately needed money. I
was entitled to money, and I wanted money, But I
wasn't like, oh man, we're going to lose the house
if I don't get this inheritance. But there were some
people in the family who and it wasn't even terrible.
It was just a little shady. But I'm going to
tell you, when somebody important in your family dies and
(11:44):
they have anything worth anything, keep an eye on shit,
because people will go into mom's house and take all
of the valuable shit and all of the valuable jewelry
and all of the family heirlooms and keep it for themselves.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
To me, And wouldn't occurred to me.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
No, they do, yeah, and not every family, but there
was some of that in my family. Some of the
heirlooms disappeared. Well where'd they go? Whoa, we know where
they went. So when great Grandma Eloise finally kicks the bucket,
either get into her house and secure things, or get
(12:22):
everybody into the house and divvy it up, because Yolanda's
going to get in there and take all the good shit.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Yolanda, She's just like that too.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
No, it's true. Gosh, all right, thank you, Nate.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
I love a family drama moment.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Uh, next one, here we go. I hope you've had
a Oh, hope you had. You've had a good holiday
season so far. Wanted to write in and say thanks
Jenny for the movie your recommendation. Oh what fun. It
was a great movie. We love the message and new
Christmas classic. What about this movie.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
It's about a mom who just like kind of does
everything for her kids. And her kids have kids, or
one of the kids has kids now, and basically she
got them all ticket this is something. And then they
kind of like forgot her behind in the rush of
getting in the car and getting to it, and so
she just like left the family and one did her
own thing because she is the one who like creates
magic for them every single year, and she was just
(13:13):
over it at that point, forgotten about it.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Is it in theaters now or is it all it's.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Done Amazon Prime?
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Oh what fun? Yeah? Two other classics. I love Little
airhorn Boy. This gets me every year. I'm so thankful
I got to hear it twice this week. Was this
created by KTBDB a while ago or was it from
another radio station? No, that was a Dave Ryan original.
I wrote it. I did the voice of the narrator.
A guy named Tim Carey used to be a DJ
(13:40):
here on KATWB. I love Tim. He did the voice
of the little airhorn Boy. And Corey Foley did the
voice of Mary. So that's how long ago that was.
Corey hasn't been here since two thousand and seven, Yeah,
so that's how long ago that was. And a guy
named David, who was the production director, was the voice
of one of the wise men. He's like, did you
bring a gift for the baby Jesus young man? And
(14:02):
that was David and the crowd murmuring the background, which
is people that I had come in and murmur into
the microphone. But I'm glad that people love that one.
The second KDWB classic is the Old Fashioned Christmas aka
Daddy's Home. No matter how many times I hear this song,
it still rocks me to my core. When the radio
(14:24):
alert comes on, the craziest part of the whole song
the dad rings the doorbell, yeah, as if he's a
policeman notifying the family of his passing. Two questions for
you all, have you ever considered making a new parody
with this new morning show crew? The Airhorn Boy song
reminded me of the Hollister song, and I know you
all could create something just as amazing. Yeah, I haven't
(14:47):
bothered to. I don't know why. I just haven't bothered to.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
Technically, both, I feel like both and I have written
parody songs, but when we try to get them like
produced there we have to jump through hoops that end
up just kind of hoops, just fall on the mean.
Like when I wanted to do the Benny Hanna Cocomo song,
I asked Rich and he's like, oh, I have to
find out if well. First I asked the guy who
like would produce it, and he said, I don't know,
(15:11):
you have to ask Rich.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Then I asked Rich, and Rich said, I don't know.
There might be some kind of issue with like the licensing,
blah blah blah. I'll get back to you to use.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
There's no that I don't know that there's no.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
To be fair, we usually produce our own parody, so
I don't know who you're talking to to help produce
the parody. But normally, like we've done it in house, yeah,
the guy down the hallway. No, but no, not even
we would not even use Diego, so I wouldn't put
that on his plate. Anyways, you just have to go
in and get a karaoke bed and sing over. It
is basically what it is.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
That here's what I would go by. We have the
right to use any music on the show, absolutely, Okay.
What was the other issue that you had? You remember?
Speaker 2 (15:59):
Well, the other one was because he had one as well,
but I don't know some I don't know what his
deal was. That's his deal.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
Put together something a Roses song, a War the Roses song,
but it was too long, is what we were told.
After he had gotten it all put together, we played
it a little bit and then we were told no more.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Okay, well all right, next one. If we wanted to
send you some caribou delivery next week, they wrote this
last week. Is there a day that works best? And
I'm sorry I didn't see this until now, but thank
you for the offer, Sarah and Cole from Hudson. We
appreciate that. We would have loved that, but you know
that's fine. Were We just appreciate the thought.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
I've got my water here, it's okay, yep.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Thanks so much, Ringing Joying energy to the air waves.
Thanks for doing the extra work behind the scenes for
Christmas wish. It truly touches the lives of so many,
both the recipients and the listeners. Mary Chrysler, Mary Chrysler,
I love that and happy holiday. Jenny PS. I also
had ringworm. It's no fun. I hope yours resolves quickly
(17:06):
and that cream works. Jenny update.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
I think it's slowly going away. I did take a
picture and showed it to Folin yesterday.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
I want to see.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
You haven't seen the original one, so I feel like
I can't compare to the two. And it's literally right
on my right butt cheeks.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
But I want to see.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
But I think it's going away, and if it doesn't
in the next few days, I will yeah, go to
an actual doctor. But Creme nice Nice, cram.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
Do a couple of more here because we got plenty
of time and I want to get some of these
done and recognize before we leave. H just got home
from work wondering why people driving the snow or crummy
weather with their flashers on. Flashers are for emergency purposes,
not while driving with the flow of traffic. What are
you doing. We're all in this together. No one needs
(17:55):
you to have your flashing lights on to warn me
that you're going slow. We're all going slow, wondering what
your thoughts are on that. No, I agree. I don't
know of an occasion that I would drive with my
flashers on unless I was rushing Bailey to the hospital
because of an arterial bleed, and then I would put
my flashers on to let people know, hey, this is
an emergency. But other than that, I can't think of
(18:18):
a reason.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
Honestly, I have driven with my flashers on in.
Speaker 4 (18:21):
Like a terrible snowstorm where like you couldn't or like
a terrible rainstorm or whatever, if you can't see anything.
Then I honestly like it because I would turn on mine,
other people would have theirs on so we could see
each other better. And that's only happened to me like
twice during a really terrible snowstorm and a really terrible
rainstorm where you can't see anything.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
So I'm guilty I've done it.
Speaker 4 (18:45):
But I wouldn't do that if there was like a
lot of traffic out and okay, we were all fine.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Uh. Why don't you read Christmas letters? This is from
initial k is because it's boring. I don't read Christmas
letters because I don't know. I don't care. It's hard
for me, and I care about the people who send it,
but I just find it, like, not particularly entertaining to
(19:13):
read about how, oh, your daughter Shelley finally got into
the U of M and she's gonna take veterinary medic
don't I don't care. I mean that's great.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
I like you too, and I don't mean to be rude.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
And it sounds terribly rude because I have some lovely
people that send me Christmas letters, but I don't care
to read them, and I just don't. That's me being
a dick.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
So Aunt she's retired now, and she retired a little
bit earlier than planned just because of like the way
her company was working. But she used to be the
editor of the newspaper in my hometown, so she's a
very good writer. But she wrote it in the perspective
of one of her dogs, and it was really funny
and really cute, and so I texted her and I
was like, let cod to know I really love the
(19:54):
letter that he sent out to love.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
That's so funny, there, Dave. Next year, I can write
your career Smith's card as Bernie. Yeah, and you just
tell me about your life and I'll be like, yeah,
did and mom did this and they did climb Pikes
Peak and I got to go long.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
My trainer said yesterday, he's like, what is your goal
in twenty twenty six? And he's like, you've climb pikes
Peaked twice? You know you can do that again. Great,
what is your goal? What do you want to do?
And I said, you know, I just seriously enjoy being
fit and working on myself, you know what I mean.
(20:37):
I don't really have a goal except maybe to keep
my weight down. It's not like I'm training for a
marathon or anything like that. But I thought it was, yeah,
Pike's Peak. I probably will do it again. I'm going
to try to do it, probably every year until I
cannot do it anymore.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
So you don't want to try a different mountain?
Speaker 2 (20:56):
Are there other mountains? We're unaware?
Speaker 1 (21:00):
You know, that's a really great question, Jenny, I really
as I really should.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
Is because I'm pretty sure and if you got rid
of it, I do not care because I know you
have too much stuff at your house. But last year
I think I gave you a book that was like
so many you did, and I thought of that just
because I knew you had done Pike's Peak, so I
was like, oh, maybe this will give him inspiration to
find a different one to hike. And I mean, don't
get me wrong, Pike's Peak is beautiful. I've been there before,
and I think it's like totally admirable that you do that.
(21:26):
I just also have done so many other different hikes
that like every single one amazes me, Like I have
yet to climb a mountain and not be like, holy shit,
this is crazy.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
That's a really good point. I think that I choose
Pike's Peek because I'm familiar. I know I can do it.
It's kind of like go into the same restaurant, Well,
where do you guys want to go to eat? Well,
let's go back to Ikes. Well we go to Ikes
all the time. Yeah, but we know it's good and
we know the people there. I think it's kind of
a form of like laziness into looking something else and
(21:57):
the mystery of the unknown, Like what if I chose
Mount Albert, which is another mountain in Colorado, and it
was really tough or really crowded or there's bears.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
Yeah, you know, your comfort mountain kind of is.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
But it's still really fucking challenging. Yeah, so I'm going
to read this one and this will be the last one.
This was a little bit longer, but I'm gonna go
ahead and read it anyway. My mom and I went
to the Live Minnesota Goodbye. I was the one who
creepily went up to Bailey before the show and tried
to articulate my genuine praise for her. Bailey, you come
(22:32):
across as so genuine and sincere. Who you are as
a person is so incredibly clear to anyone who listens
for more than five minutes. Anytime I message you on Instagram,
You've always replied, no matter the content. I just think
you're really amazing and appreciate the time and after you
put forth in talking with listeners you've never met, you
also helped me narrow down what question to ask, and
it didn't feel like a huge hit, considering none of
(22:53):
you had any saucy stories to share. I spent the
entire night before coming up with questions that I knew
none of you could realistically answer, but I appreciated guidance.
Dave was talking to somebody after the show when I
came up for a picture and I got to ask
Jenny one of my questions on my list, and the
way she answered got me curious. I won't expand on
that because I don't want to say something Jenny told
(23:15):
me in confidences, but it definitely made me respect Jenny
even more.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
Yeah. I remember she had a whole list of things
that she wanted to ask us, and I do know
what you're talking about, so and I appreciate you probably
not putting it out there, okay.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Uh brings me to say that I really admire the
vulnerability that Jenny has shown over the past year, the openness,
the growth, the way she is absolutely prospered. It is
truly inspiring and fun to watch. Ps. Jenny spoke about
my question on the show briefly, and I felt like
a celebrity. I let's see amazing party. I overstayed my
(23:53):
welcome and help with the chairs and got the chance
to speak to Dave. I kind of blacked out, but
I remember saying I'll regret saying I remember saying I'll
regret saying all of it. I spoke about how you
guys have been there for me in the middle of
the night or when I felt alone and down. A
friendly voice has made all the difference, and what you
(24:13):
guys do means a lot. I get to talk to
some Minnesota Goodbye celebrities when everybody cleared out. It was
super fun. Felt like I found my people, even if
it was only for that moment. Anyway, what you guys
do is bigger than you could ever think. You are
the friends people need in their highest, lowest, and most
boring moments. Whether you're keeping people company in the morning,
(24:35):
in the car or when they're cleaning, it matters. So
thank you for the time, the effort, the comfort, and
the friendship. Overall. It was so incredibly fun, even for
my mom, who doesn't listen to the podcast. I hope
there are more to come for other amazing causes from Megan.
By the way, ps, talking to Mike Affert was so fun.
He's so nice and told me that no more anonymous
(24:55):
texting emails. So I'm listening saying my name. So thank you, Mike,
So thank you Megan, Thanks Megan.
Speaker 3 (25:03):
Yeah, we all remember you from the Minnesota Goodbye.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
Thanks mego and that is going to do it for
the Minnesota Goodbye this year.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
The snow's coming downwn are you?
Speaker 1 (25:16):
Why are you singing?
Speaker 4 (25:16):
That's Christmas I'm watching it Fustmas.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
You're singing choir at the churches.
Speaker 4 (25:25):
Maybe please come mos thing and deck the ho.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
It's not like Christmas. I'll get here. Dave had a
last year Christmas. Then lights on the train. She always
has to go just a little too.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
I'm too far.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
Hey, it's first time.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
Bailey and I have a new joke, and we're gonna
round out this with the new joke. You're going to
hear a lot in twenty twenty six.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
Hey, tell me what you think think about my new
sweater or your new sweater?
Speaker 1 (26:02):
Yeah, oh okay, Well I'll be honest with you. It's
got a few too many Christmas kitschy patches on it.
But other than that, I hate it. So that's our
new Christmas joke. You're try it on me, Try it
on me, Jibailey, I'm wearing my new Christmas Santa shirt.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
What do you think I see it? I mean, it
is really red. It's like a super red shirt, which
I don't love. But I mean, other than that, I
hate it.
Speaker 4 (26:28):
Happy New Year, Happy New Year.
Welcome to the final Minnesota Goodbye of twenty twenty five,
and we're going to wrap it up with We're going
to try to get to as many emails as we can.
I'm gonna be honest with you. Summer a little bit longer,
and I may get to them or I may not.
I think one of the things about about Minnesota Goodbye
emails is it may be tempting to make them long.
(00:23):
But a lot of the time we will edit one
out because it is too long. Yeah, and that's simply
because it can take this one. I've got it in
front of me, and it's a wonderful email. It would
probably take me six or seven minutes to read this
entire email, please, and that is a lot lot. So
we're gonna skip to this one, which but I appreciate
all of them. But I would think, just as a guideline,
if you can kind of like encapsulate'll do the condensed
(00:46):
version that'll give your email, because I know you want
to hear your email on the radio, I mean on
the Minnesota I would it's like, oh, they're doing my emails.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Me.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Here's one that's really easy. Don't say my name. Now
that the year is ending some questions to wrap up
the year for y'all. Number one, what was your song
of the year. I would say, uh, it was probably
blended into last year, but I would say Espresso, but
also ordinary and but also I had in my mind
last night that De Fate of a feelybe so catchy, Jenny,
(01:25):
your favorite song of the year.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
I liked a lot of Sabrina Carpenter's album, specifically House
Tour and Nobody's Son are some of my favorites. But
then I also really liked Somber a lot. Yeah, it
kind of came out of nowhere.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
Okay, Okay, I don't know, y'all, because honestly, I mostly
just listened to show tunes, so you don't play any
of those on air.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Okay. What was your favorite movie that you watched this year?
Off the top of my head, I would say One
Battle after Another because I really liked it. But if
I went over a list of movies I saw this year,
I'd probably find one that i'd like better, Jenny.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
Top of mind for me is The Housemaid because I
just want to see it in the movie theater like
a week ago, and.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
It was really good.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
The Housemaid. Yeah, Housemaid Carson wants to see that tonight.
What's it about.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
So it's about this like rich family and they hire
this woman to like live in the house with them.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
And then it goes dark.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
There's a lot of manipulation and craziness and twists and
turns and stuff. I'm assuming you and Carson are past
the point where like sex scenes wouldn't make you uncomfortable.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
No, once we saw Straight out of Compton, Yeah then, yeah,
then we did.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
It was like just a warning on that because you
definitely see Sidney Sweeney's boobies.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Nice.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Yeah, I really liked uh Superman.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
That was this summer, and that one's new, but once
that's not not new but new to me. I saw
Past Lives this year. I cried so much. That's probably
one of my new favorite movies I've ever seen. It
was so good and romantic and beautiful.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
I love it all right. Next one, what celebrity news
was the most shocking or newsworthy for you? Rob Ryner?
I would say that was shocked one percent shocking. But
I have to go back through the year to see
if there was anything more newsworthy to me, But I
don't think anything tops the shocking list.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
Bailing not necessarily shocking, but shocking to me. Run Robert
Redford died, I was really sad. I love Robert Redford.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
He's been my favorite actor since I was literally like
fifteen years old.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
So, okay, Jenny Michelle Trottenberg, I think that's what you
seen your last name. But she was on Gossip Girl
and like a bunch of other things, so she was
kind of my era growing up as a millennial, and
she died very young. I think she had a sickness,
but that was like kind of out of nowhere.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Yes, I agree.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
What was your most or one of your most memorable
moments from this past year. I would say taking the
new RV two Yellowstone and back with Carson and Susan.
It was just an epic trip. We loved it. And
I would say either buying the RV or that trip.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Jenny, That's tough, because I did get to go on
like some really wool trips this year. But I think
i'd probably put just like the overall experience of doing
a camera van around the country of Iceland with my sister,
Oh yeah, oh so much.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
Yeah, And I was going to my god, Graceland, going
to Graceland with my mom.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
That's very cool. Yeah, all right, thank you for that one.
Hope you have a fantastic end of your year. Thanks
for all that you do and keeping me entertained while
I am at work. You are soe welcome. All right,
another comment about the ads during the podcast. Even though
you know we're powerless to do anything, it still annoys
me that somebody who is supposed to be good at
(04:34):
what they do doesn't know how to do their job. Well.
I've been a huge fan, longtime listener. I feel the
need to write in and tell you the ads making
the podcast are making the podcast almost unbearable. There are
more than several minutes of ads, and they ruin the
flow of the podcast. I want to give iHeart the
opportunity to fix this issue. So I felt the need
to let you know I'm afraid I will stop listening
(04:55):
soon because of the overwhelming ads.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
I don't know who to contact.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
I don't know. It doesn't matter because we've complained about
it before, and I'll send it to Rich, and Rich
will send it to whoever, and then nothing gets done.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
The most I can do, maybe I'll try this today,
is put all of the ads at the end.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
I can try to do that.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Do that, Yeah, put them all at the end, because
then we're done technically.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
It says I have to have a mid role at
to say.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
It's not like Bailey is like purposely trying to put
it in the middle.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
I try to, like she does, put it in a
spot where we're about to change subjects.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
So that's where I'm trying to do. But I don't
have a say over a y'lsar. Sorry.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Kevin from Woodbury also writes in the same thing, he says,
and it goes on about the ads and that is
just like you know, it's annoying, and some are louder
than the rest of the show. But he says, anyway,
as Christopher said yesterday, despite the annoyance, I still love
you guys, and I won't be deterred from listening. Thanks
for all you do, and I hope all four of
(05:51):
you and your families have a merry Christmas and happy
New Year and take some time to rest. Dark dart
lick lick. Oh what a relief it is? Do you
get that joke?
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Yeah? Pop pop fizz fizz, Oh, what a relief it is?
Speaker 4 (06:05):
Yeah, Yeah, that's uh oh seltzer Alka Seltzer.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Alka Seltzer very good.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Okay, I didn't know that. I'm so bad with jingles. Uh.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Okay. Next one, Oh that's a that's a not for
the Minnesota goodbye. Uh no to that one. Let's try
this one, Jenny Bailey. If you guys read the Housemaid
book and went and saw the movie, what did you
guys think? Well, you just kind of talked about that.
I went and saw this weekend. I have mixed feelings.
(06:35):
I think they missed some important events in the book,
but overall, I was happy with the movie. What does
your guys think? Love, y'all, Merry Christmas, Halle anything that
you want to tack onto your comments?
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Jenny or Bailey, I unfortunately haven't read the book.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
I plan on it, and then I end up seeing
the movie first, so I don't really I can't really
say what was good and bad about it compared to
the book.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
And my I literally just accepted the whole, like the
hold expired on my book yesterday and I just sporrowed
it for my library so I can listen to the audiobook.
So I've not listened to it or read it or
seen the movie or anything yet.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
I'm completely in.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
The dark, Wannita writes in she says, yes, now I'm
pissed the fuck off because I left out the beautiful,
wonderful Secretary Bri. I didn't mean to forget you, Breebrie.
Merry Christmas to you and happy New Year. I knew
you forgot. Just like one day when I win the
Nobel Peace Prize, I'm gonna get up and I'm gonna
forget to thank moy I don't know, Susan or something
(07:29):
like that. Of course, it reminds me of the time.
This is one of my stupid mistakes. The Radio Award,
the Marconi is radio's edition of the Grammys or the Oscars.
So I'm sitting at the table during the awards ceremony
in twenty eleven, big formal banquet they have it in
New York, and you fly out and you put on
a suit and you have dinner. In the whole time
you're nervous about who's gonna win and that type thing.
(07:51):
So I'm sitting there next to a guy named Art,
and Art is like just a friend of radio, and
he does a bunch of videos and he's everybody in
radio loves Art, and so Art is on my left,
Susan's on my right, like okay, and now the nominees
and blah blah blah, and the winner is Dave Ryan
(08:11):
ktie WB. I was so shocked that I stood up,
turned away from Susan, who held her arms open, and
I hugged Art art, and Art hugged me back in
a big pat on the back. And I didn't even
hug or acknowledge. Susan left her standing there like Jesus
(08:32):
Christ hanging on across.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Oh no.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
And then later Susan's like she got it. She was
very understanding. Because I was so in shock. I sat
in the back of the room on purpose because I
was certain I wasn't gonna win.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
But you were nominated, so don't you have to at
least think maybe you could win.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
I showed up. Okay, Yeah, I showed up next one.
Nate writes in Good Morning and All Merry Almost Christmas,
Bailey did a Daily Bailey asking about family drama. I
want to give you some of my own. Oh hell yeah.
When I was younger, we go to my grandparents, my
dad's parents for Christmas every October because they were snowbirds,
(09:15):
and they left for Arizona mid November. Have fond memories of
playing with my cousins, opening gifts in the basement and Wyndham, Minnesota.
Now my dad is a strained from his family, which
is a longer story than I have time to write,
but I still stayed in touch with my cousins and
my dad's siblings and spouses. Grandma passed away during COVID
and we had a memorial service the following September when
(09:37):
things opened up. So I was invited along with my
family to memorial service in Wyndam, Minnesota. Okay, so now
bring us up to the present day here or current anyway,
The actual service went smoothly, all the cousins there flying
in from across the country except for the ones in rehab.
There was a hotel they were all staying at, but
since I had two young kids, we decided to head
(09:58):
home after the luncheon in the church basement instead of
joining them all. As it turns out, it's a good
thing we did. Apparently, one of my uncles started drinking
in the lobby of the hotel, started spouting off to
his son about all his grievances against his kids, his mom,
and it culminated in them getting in a shoving match,
a shoving match and having to be separated. Underlying all
this was the fact that my uncle had tried to
(10:20):
sell my grandma's house and then pocket the money without
telling anybody what. They bought a new vehicle with their
inheritance and as well as some other debts. But my
aunt caught them in their lives and it blew up
in their faces. Oh shit. Needless to say, we don't
get together with them for any holidays anymore and only
(10:40):
keep in contact with our cousins through Facebook and the
Christmas cards. Sorry for the long email, but I hope
you enjoyed a small glimpse in my family's drama involving
the holidays. Merry Christmas, and thank you as always for
making each day better for so many. Thank you, sincerely, Nate.
I will tell you, Nate and anybody listening, money is
going to make you fight with your family, probably more
(11:02):
than anything else. I never saw fighting in my family
and never really saw bad behavior in my family except
over money and when Dad died. I don't want to
give any details because I don't know who listens, but
there was money shit going on, and I fortunately am
(11:22):
not in a position where I desperately needed money. I
was entitled to money, and I wanted money, But I
wasn't like, oh man, we're going to lose the house
if I don't get this inheritance. But there were some
people in the family who and it wasn't even terrible.
It was just a little shady. But I'm going to
tell you, when somebody important in your family dies and
(11:44):
they have anything worth anything, keep an eye on shit,
because people will go into mom's house and take all
of the valuable shit and all of the valuable jewelry
and all of the family heirlooms and keep it for themselves.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
To me, And wouldn't occurred to me.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
No, they do, yeah, and not every family, but there
was some of that in my family. Some of the
heirlooms disappeared. Well where'd they go? Whoa, we know where
they went. So when great Grandma Eloise finally kicks the bucket,
either get into her house and secure things, or get
(12:22):
everybody into the house and divvy it up, because Yolanda's
going to get in there and take all the good shit.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Yolanda, She's just like that too.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
No, it's true. Gosh, all right, thank you, Nate.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
I love a family drama moment.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Uh, next one, here we go. I hope you've had
a Oh, hope you had. You've had a good holiday
season so far. Wanted to write in and say thanks
Jenny for the movie your recommendation. Oh what fun. It
was a great movie. We love the message and new
Christmas classic. What about this movie.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
It's about a mom who just like kind of does
everything for her kids. And her kids have kids, or
one of the kids has kids now, and basically she
got them all ticket this is something. And then they
kind of like forgot her behind in the rush of
getting in the car and getting to it, and so
she just like left the family and one did her
own thing because she is the one who like creates
magic for them every single year, and she was just
(13:13):
over it at that point, forgotten about it.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Is it in theaters now or is it all it's.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Done Amazon Prime?
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Oh what fun? Yeah? Two other classics. I love Little
airhorn Boy. This gets me every year. I'm so thankful
I got to hear it twice this week. Was this
created by KTBDB a while ago or was it from
another radio station? No, that was a Dave Ryan original.
I wrote it. I did the voice of the narrator.
A guy named Tim Carey used to be a DJ
(13:40):
here on KATWB. I love Tim. He did the voice
of the little airhorn Boy. And Corey Foley did the
voice of Mary. So that's how long ago that was.
Corey hasn't been here since two thousand and seven, Yeah,
so that's how long ago that was. And a guy
named David, who was the production director, was the voice
of one of the wise men. He's like, did you
bring a gift for the baby Jesus young man? And
(14:02):
that was David and the crowd murmuring the background, which
is people that I had come in and murmur into
the microphone. But I'm glad that people love that one.
The second KDWB classic is the Old Fashioned Christmas aka
Daddy's Home. No matter how many times I hear this song,
it still rocks me to my core. When the radio
(14:24):
alert comes on, the craziest part of the whole song
the dad rings the doorbell, yeah, as if he's a
policeman notifying the family of his passing. Two questions for
you all, have you ever considered making a new parody
with this new morning show crew? The Airhorn Boy song
reminded me of the Hollister song, and I know you
all could create something just as amazing. Yeah, I haven't
(14:47):
bothered to. I don't know why. I just haven't bothered to.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
Technically, both, I feel like both and I have written
parody songs, but when we try to get them like
produced there we have to jump through hoops that end
up just kind of hoops, just fall on the mean.
Like when I wanted to do the Benny Hanna Cocomo song,
I asked Rich and he's like, oh, I have to
find out if well. First I asked the guy who
like would produce it, and he said, I don't know,
(15:11):
you have to ask Rich.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Then I asked Rich, and Rich said, I don't know.
There might be some kind of issue with like the licensing,
blah blah blah. I'll get back to you to use.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
There's no that I don't know that there's no.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
To be fair, we usually produce our own parody, so
I don't know who you're talking to to help produce
the parody. But normally, like we've done it in house, yeah,
the guy down the hallway. No, but no, not even
we would not even use Diego, so I wouldn't put
that on his plate. Anyways, you just have to go
in and get a karaoke bed and sing over. It
is basically what it is.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
That here's what I would go by. We have the
right to use any music on the show, absolutely, Okay.
What was the other issue that you had? You remember?
Speaker 2 (15:59):
Well, the other one was because he had one as well,
but I don't know some I don't know what his
deal was. That's his deal.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
Put together something a Roses song, a War the Roses song,
but it was too long, is what we were told.
After he had gotten it all put together, we played
it a little bit and then we were told no more.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Okay, well all right, next one. If we wanted to
send you some caribou delivery next week, they wrote this
last week. Is there a day that works best? And
I'm sorry I didn't see this until now, but thank
you for the offer, Sarah and Cole from Hudson. We
appreciate that. We would have loved that, but you know
that's fine. Were We just appreciate the thought.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
I've got my water here, it's okay, yep.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Thanks so much, Ringing Joying energy to the air waves.
Thanks for doing the extra work behind the scenes for
Christmas wish. It truly touches the lives of so many,
both the recipients and the listeners. Mary Chrysler, Mary Chrysler,
I love that and happy holiday. Jenny PS. I also
had ringworm. It's no fun. I hope yours resolves quickly
(17:06):
and that cream works. Jenny update.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
I think it's slowly going away. I did take a
picture and showed it to Folin yesterday.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
I want to see.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
You haven't seen the original one, so I feel like
I can't compare to the two. And it's literally right
on my right butt cheeks.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
But I want to see.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
But I think it's going away, and if it doesn't
in the next few days, I will yeah, go to
an actual doctor. But Creme nice Nice, cram.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
Do a couple of more here because we got plenty
of time and I want to get some of these
done and recognize before we leave. H just got home
from work wondering why people driving the snow or crummy
weather with their flashers on. Flashers are for emergency purposes,
not while driving with the flow of traffic. What are
you doing. We're all in this together. No one needs
(17:55):
you to have your flashing lights on to warn me
that you're going slow. We're all going slow, wondering what
your thoughts are on that. No, I agree. I don't
know of an occasion that I would drive with my
flashers on unless I was rushing Bailey to the hospital
because of an arterial bleed, and then I would put
my flashers on to let people know, hey, this is
an emergency. But other than that, I can't think of
(18:18):
a reason.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
Honestly, I have driven with my flashers on in.
Speaker 4 (18:21):
Like a terrible snowstorm where like you couldn't or like
a terrible rainstorm or whatever, if you can't see anything.
Then I honestly like it because I would turn on mine,
other people would have theirs on so we could see
each other better. And that's only happened to me like
twice during a really terrible snowstorm and a really terrible
rainstorm where you can't see anything.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
So I'm guilty I've done it.
Speaker 4 (18:45):
But I wouldn't do that if there was like a
lot of traffic out and okay, we were all fine.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Uh. Why don't you read Christmas letters? This is from
initial k is because it's boring. I don't read Christmas
letters because I don't know. I don't care. It's hard
for me, and I care about the people who send it,
but I just find it, like, not particularly entertaining to
(19:13):
read about how, oh, your daughter Shelley finally got into
the U of M and she's gonna take veterinary medic
don't I don't care. I mean that's great.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
I like you too, and I don't mean to be rude.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
And it sounds terribly rude because I have some lovely
people that send me Christmas letters, but I don't care
to read them, and I just don't. That's me being
a dick.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
So Aunt she's retired now, and she retired a little
bit earlier than planned just because of like the way
her company was working. But she used to be the
editor of the newspaper in my hometown, so she's a
very good writer. But she wrote it in the perspective
of one of her dogs, and it was really funny
and really cute, and so I texted her and I
was like, let cod to know I really love the
(19:54):
letter that he sent out to love.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
That's so funny, there, Dave. Next year, I can write
your career Smith's card as Bernie. Yeah, and you just
tell me about your life and I'll be like, yeah,
did and mom did this and they did climb Pikes
Peak and I got to go long.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
My trainer said yesterday, he's like, what is your goal
in twenty twenty six? And he's like, you've climb pikes
Peaked twice? You know you can do that again. Great,
what is your goal? What do you want to do?
And I said, you know, I just seriously enjoy being
fit and working on myself, you know what I mean.
(20:37):
I don't really have a goal except maybe to keep
my weight down. It's not like I'm training for a
marathon or anything like that. But I thought it was, yeah,
Pike's Peak. I probably will do it again. I'm going
to try to do it, probably every year until I
cannot do it anymore.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
So you don't want to try a different mountain?
Speaker 2 (20:56):
Are there other mountains? We're unaware?
Speaker 1 (21:00):
You know, that's a really great question, Jenny, I really
as I really should.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
Is because I'm pretty sure and if you got rid
of it, I do not care because I know you
have too much stuff at your house. But last year
I think I gave you a book that was like
so many you did, and I thought of that just
because I knew you had done Pike's Peak, so I
was like, oh, maybe this will give him inspiration to
find a different one to hike. And I mean, don't
get me wrong, Pike's Peak is beautiful. I've been there before,
and I think it's like totally admirable that you do that.
(21:26):
I just also have done so many other different hikes
that like every single one amazes me, Like I have
yet to climb a mountain and not be like, holy shit,
this is crazy.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
That's a really good point. I think that I choose
Pike's Peek because I'm familiar. I know I can do it.
It's kind of like go into the same restaurant, Well,
where do you guys want to go to eat? Well,
let's go back to Ikes. Well we go to Ikes
all the time. Yeah, but we know it's good and
we know the people there. I think it's kind of
a form of like laziness into looking something else and
(21:57):
the mystery of the unknown, Like what if I chose
Mount Albert, which is another mountain in Colorado, and it
was really tough or really crowded or there's bears.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
Yeah, you know, your comfort mountain kind of is.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
But it's still really fucking challenging. Yeah, so I'm going
to read this one and this will be the last one.
This was a little bit longer, but I'm gonna go
ahead and read it anyway. My mom and I went
to the Live Minnesota Goodbye. I was the one who
creepily went up to Bailey before the show and tried
to articulate my genuine praise for her. Bailey, you come
(22:32):
across as so genuine and sincere. Who you are as
a person is so incredibly clear to anyone who listens
for more than five minutes. Anytime I message you on Instagram,
You've always replied, no matter the content. I just think
you're really amazing and appreciate the time and after you
put forth in talking with listeners you've never met, you
also helped me narrow down what question to ask, and
it didn't feel like a huge hit, considering none of
(22:53):
you had any saucy stories to share. I spent the
entire night before coming up with questions that I knew
none of you could realistically answer, but I appreciated guidance.
Dave was talking to somebody after the show when I
came up for a picture and I got to ask
Jenny one of my questions on my list, and the
way she answered got me curious. I won't expand on
that because I don't want to say something Jenny told
(23:15):
me in confidences, but it definitely made me respect Jenny
even more.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
Yeah. I remember she had a whole list of things
that she wanted to ask us, and I do know
what you're talking about, so and I appreciate you probably
not putting it out there, okay.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Uh brings me to say that I really admire the
vulnerability that Jenny has shown over the past year, the openness,
the growth, the way she is absolutely prospered. It is
truly inspiring and fun to watch. Ps. Jenny spoke about
my question on the show briefly, and I felt like
a celebrity. I let's see amazing party. I overstayed my
(23:53):
welcome and help with the chairs and got the chance
to speak to Dave. I kind of blacked out, but
I remember saying I'll regret saying I remember saying I'll
regret saying all of it. I spoke about how you
guys have been there for me in the middle of
the night or when I felt alone and down. A
friendly voice has made all the difference, and what you
(24:13):
guys do means a lot. I get to talk to
some Minnesota Goodbye celebrities when everybody cleared out. It was
super fun. Felt like I found my people, even if
it was only for that moment. Anyway, what you guys
do is bigger than you could ever think. You are
the friends people need in their highest, lowest, and most
boring moments. Whether you're keeping people company in the morning,
(24:35):
in the car or when they're cleaning, it matters. So
thank you for the time, the effort, the comfort, and
the friendship. Overall. It was so incredibly fun, even for
my mom, who doesn't listen to the podcast. I hope
there are more to come for other amazing causes from Megan.
By the way, ps, talking to Mike Affert was so fun.
He's so nice and told me that no more anonymous
(24:55):
texting emails. So I'm listening saying my name. So thank you, Mike,
So thank you Megan, Thanks Megan.
Speaker 3 (25:03):
Yeah, we all remember you from the Minnesota Goodbye.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
Thanks mego and that is going to do it for
the Minnesota Goodbye this year.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
The snow's coming downwn are you?
Speaker 1 (25:16):
Why are you singing?
Speaker 4 (25:16):
That's Christmas I'm watching it Fustmas.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
You're singing choir at the churches.
Speaker 4 (25:25):
Maybe please come mos thing and deck the ho.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
It's not like Christmas. I'll get here. Dave had a
last year Christmas. Then lights on the train. She always
has to go just a little too.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
I'm too far.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
Hey, it's first time.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
Bailey and I have a new joke, and we're gonna
round out this with the new joke. You're going to
hear a lot in twenty twenty six.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
Hey, tell me what you think think about my new
sweater or your new sweater?
Speaker 1 (26:02):
Yeah, oh okay, Well I'll be honest with you. It's
got a few too many Christmas kitschy patches on it.
But other than that, I hate it. So that's our
new Christmas joke. You're try it on me, Try it
on me, Jibailey, I'm wearing my new Christmas Santa shirt.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
What do you think I see it? I mean, it
is really red. It's like a super red shirt, which
I don't love. But I mean, other than that, I
hate it.
Speaker 4 (26:28):
Happy New Year, Happy New Year.

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
