Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, here we go Minnesota Goodbye. We'd asked yesterday,
we said, hey, what do you think we did? Like
a live Minnesota Goodbye? And we like charged the admission to
get into for Christmas Wish and maybe twenty five bucks.
And so we got some good responses and I think
we'll probably do it, but we're kind of feeling our
way blindly through it. We don't know how to reserve spots,
and we don't just want to open up the doors.
(00:20):
What if we had too many people show up? Or
what if not enough people showed up? You know, if
six people showed up, we'd still do it. I don't care.
So Jackie writes in from South Saint Paul. I think
it'd be really fun to do a live session for
the Minnesota Goodbye is a fundraiser for Christmas Wish, especially
if offered after regular work hours. Count me in. I'd
pay twenty five bucks and I donate something beyond that too,
(00:42):
if that's an option. Of course, I love the show
and I love the pod just as much. What a
fun idea and a way to engage with your fan
base of the podcast, especially if Wannita and Secretary bre
you make an appearance. Hell yeah, and in person rant yes,
speaking of a ramp back jan Nita got pissed the
fuck off, that's what her phrase is by the dinging
(01:04):
in her car when items are in the back seat
while she was exiting her car. Of course that would
piss me the fuck off too. But I'll bet it's
a safety feature for parents to not leave their kid
in the back seat accidentally. Oh so if you leave
like a heavy bag of groceries in the back seat, yeah,
it'll ding and say, oh, there's a kid in.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
The there's something back here.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
I see. I'll bet why need His kids are older,
so it isn't really on a radar forgetting a little
kiddo in the back seat.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
I feel like you should be able to shut that
off because mine would ding constantly. I have so much
crap in my back seat.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Yeah, I ever have a lot of crap in your
back seat.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
It's just that it's like an extra house on wheels
to me, and so I just storage fine.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Love the show. I've written in a handful of times
over the past few years, and even had one of
my email topics brought to the radio Mother's Day hot take.
My kids thought I was pretty cool for being on
the radio. Could I please have a staff writer sticker
address below? Thanks for doing all you do bringing laughs
enjoyed from Jackie. Jackie staff writer sticker is on its way.
(02:05):
Next one, Hey, don't say my name. I have some
questions for Dave about writing your books. Number one, how
long did it take you to write each book? It
took I think for the first one a few years
because I gave up. And then a friend of mine
who's a life coach, inspired me by saying something like,
how will you feel when it's done? And I'm like, oh,
(02:27):
that kind of what got me moving on it, and
so I would write when I could. I had a
tiny little iPad mini with a tiny little miniature pain
in the ass keyboard, and I wrote a lot of
it on that. Wow, how did you find a publisher?
It is self published. If you're trying to find a publisher,
good luck. I mean, I don't know how an unknown
author gets published. But self publishing costs a few thousand
(02:48):
dollars depending on the options number of books you want printed.
But the place that I go to is whyse ink
I nk Wyse Inc. Make sure you tell him I
sent you. Is it a long process or expensive? Yes,
any advice. My boyfriend is wanting to get his book published,
but it isn't sure where to start. Well, I would
only say, and I keep this brief. Why does he
(03:10):
want it published? Does he want to make a living
out of it? Is he planning on being a well
known author and going on tour and doing signings at
Barnes and Noble, or does he just want to hold
a book in his hand that he says I wrote?
How many copies do you want? Will anybody buy your book?
A good friend of mine wrote a book about being single,
and she really thought it was going to be her
new career. She wrote this book, she got it published,
(03:32):
and she really thought that she would be a book
tour author, selling books, doing speeches for a career. Did
not happen that way.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Hmm.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Mine sold a lot because I have a platform to
talk about it. And if you don't have a platform
to talk about it, figure out why you want to
write one. If you're writing one, I think. I know.
There's a friend of mine in California and she's like,
I'm writing a book about my life. My life has
been so interesting and so messed up. I'm going to
write a book, and I'm like, write your book, write
it for you, though nobody's going to want to buy
(04:04):
your book, And that's kind of a harsh thing to say. Yeah,
but nobody wants to buy your book.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
You do kind of have to have some kind of
platform or name to get like an instant buy in.
But I also think it's not just writing the book
and having it be like well written necessarily, but also
part of it is the hustle. So like you also
have to market your book and like bring your book
to publishers or like to I don't know whatever, I
(04:33):
don't know that whole world. But like you can't just say, hey,
I have a book, and here who wants to read it.
It's like, hey, I have a book, and now I
have to go to all these different places to try
and get people to read it. Or yeah, put it
in a bunch of little libraries and hope someone grabs it,
and bring it to book clubs and all of that
kind of stuff. I think.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
So, there's so many ways to market your book, and
a lot of the time, the good news is marketing
can be free on social media. Well, the problem is,
let's say you put up Bailey's book At Bailey's Book
on Instagram, you get sixteen followers right exactly, and again
it's it's hard to stand out. It's like a podcast.
Anybody with electricity and a computer and internet can do
(05:11):
a podcast. Well, most people do one or two realize
they had fourteen. A friend of mine asked me the
other day. They said, Hey, me and my buddy do
a podcast. Will you be on my podcast? And I
mean to answer him, and I probably will because he's
kind of a friend from a long time ago. I
don't want to be on his podcast. I looked at
his views on YouTube. He's had forty three viewers. It's
(05:31):
not worth it. Yeah, you know, it's more like a favor.
But I don't want to be on his podcast.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
Why not?
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Why don't you want to be on his podcast? He's
your friend, he's your best friend.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
He's not my best friend, he's a guy. I'm tired
of people asking me for fucking favors. To be honest
with you, yeah, I'm really fucking tired of people asking
me for favors, and sometimes in the public. You know
what we do. Dave, can I get concert tickets? Dave,
can I get this Dave, will you MC my this, Dave,
will you host this?
Speaker 3 (05:56):
Right?
Speaker 1 (05:56):
And I'm really right now, I'm favored out.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Yeah, you're right, capacity yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
And I like the nice things, but but sometimes I
feel like some people like the girl who wanted to
borrow or not borrow, but demanded that I give her
dog three hundred dollars, yeah, for her sick dog. What
have you done for me lately? To quote Janet Jackson,
it's like, I don't expect you to reciprocate, but it's like,
(06:21):
what the fuck do something nice for me once in
a while.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Yeah, you know, Bill you?
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Yeah? All right? Next one, How bitter does that make
me sound? What a fucking bitter old queen? All right?
Page writes in as listen Monday's podcast, Oh Here it Is,
Dave shared a story about a friend who scolded him
for not donating to her go fund me. It really
made me think about the expectation to donate anytime there's
a GoFundMe. Is this something that's expected now? Is it
(06:49):
because we have access to everyone in their woes? Twenty
four to seven? What happened before gofund me? Was there
some other platform, maybe email chains? When did this expectation
of having people cover your expenses become the norm. Maybe
because I was a child, I don't recall other parents
ever talking about donating money to people in a go
fundme fashion. I'm not directing these questions necessarily to all
(07:11):
of the Go fundme requests. Emergencies happened. Support is needed
at times, But how did people in the early two
thousands get by when there was an emergency? Not trying
to make it seem like I don't knownate, donate or
support people's causes, it just seems like there is a
Go fundme for everything. Spaghetti dinners, that's why they did
a church basement spaghetti dinners, Spaghetti dinners at the local
(07:34):
chili a chili cookoff. That's the kind of shit people
did back in nineteen eighty eight. If somebody was sick,
they would have the VFW sponsor at chili supper or
a spaghetti dinner or whatever. And the problem with those
was unless you just had an enormous circle of friends
or support, you'd make about one hundred and fifty dollars. Yeah,
(07:54):
so I think GoFundMe is great. And remember you're never
required to donate.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Unless work for the people who set up the GoF
on me.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
They're like, well, I could either make spaghetti for everybody,
invite people who don't show up, or I can just
post a page online and then repost it.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Right, Naomi writes in she says, so an answer to
the Minnesota goodbye on a Friday night, Yes, but six
would be better at four she wakes up early for work,
but yeah, she I don't know if she means six pm.
But anyway, she says, I work Saturdays. Can't do Saturdays
because I work at the airport. Thanksgiving veggie dish. Our
(08:31):
family makes a bomb broccoli corn casserole, So dang good
email back if you want the recipe. Yes, I can
email her back right now.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
I've ben I get these emails sent to my in box.
Let's see, it's called the Sunday Stack, and it's a
substack that like is just cooking. I don't know how
I found this girl. Her name's Katie, and she just
does all of these cooking recipe stuff and she's on
like a Thanksgiving kick right now. And Preshudo cranberry bree
(09:03):
puffs is what she just sent out today.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
And I always save all of these. Do I ever
make any of them.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
No, no, but they sound so good and she includes
pictures all the time. So that's what I'm imagining with
this cast role that you're talking about. I'm imagining fancy
photos sent to my email.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
That's why I'm planning on bringing in turkey breast to
smoke for you guys tomorrow. So I'm going to go
buy the store tonight and get all the stuff that
you the Brian I think it's called or something that
you soak it in overnight, and then I'm going to
roast or smoke a turkey with a countertop smoker in
the hallway tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
I'm so excited. I'm so jazz.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
I don't know how you need to bring. Maybe you
should bring a side. What side will you bring side?
Speaker 2 (09:40):
I'm just gonna eat a bunch of the turkey.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
That's fine' That is the meal. Next one. Don't say
my name. Dave. Your story about your friend asking for
money and reminded me of when a friend I had
not seen in ten years reached out to me for money.
I'm going to leave details out in case she listens.
I saw her at a local hobby store that sells
product that people spend disposable income on We said hi,
(10:03):
and that was it. The next day I got a
Facebook message from her asking for gas money. Since she
works far away and limited her work hours due to
health problems. I'm more than willing to help, but I
was puzzled because I saw her at the hobby store.
Surely you don't need the money if you're shopping at
a hobby store, right Anyway, I sent her fifty bucks
(10:26):
and she was very thankful. Less than a year later,
she posted pictures on Facebook of her and her husband
getting married at a very nice venue with over one
hundred friends and family members its guests. But I was
not invited. I wouldn't have gone anyway. But if she
was thankful for my donation, why wasn't I invited? If
she's got so many close friends and family at her wedding,
why didn't she ask them first? Could it be that
(10:46):
she was too embarrassed as spend but asked me because
I wasn't a close friend. How could she afford a
nice wedding? But eight months prior asked me for gas money.
I gave without expecting anything. Returns only fifty bucks. But
that's something that baffles me to this day. What is
your perspective on this love the show. Thanks for reading.
I'm going to guess that she is one of those
people that is always short of money and her friends
(11:09):
are tired of her asking. Yeah, somehow for her wedding,
she scraped it together. Maybe her dad pitched in or
his mom pitched in or something, so they had a
you know, one hundred people is a good number of
people at a wedding, Yeah, but it's not a three
hundred person wedding at the country club, you know. So
I'm going to guess that somehow she's scraped together eight
(11:31):
thousand dollars and had a nice wedding, but her friends
are tired of her asking.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
It's wild because, like, I don't have any friends that
ask for money necessarily, but I do have plenty of
friends who are like, I can't come because I'm waiting
for my check to come in from work, you know,
And it's always like, well, I can't come to that
thing because I'm waiting to get paid, all right.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Continuing on with the emails here on the Minnesota Goodbye,
just have to click click click a little bit here.
I love this one. Elliott works for Domino's Corporate here
in Minneapolis. My gosh, and he says, I would love
to give you a deep discount on pizzas for your
group if you do a live Minnesota Goodbye. Can you
(12:13):
reach out to me if you're interested. It's a man
stall for me for a second while I respond to him,
because if I don't respond, now he's going to think
I didn't.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Get say nice things about Domino's Pizza. So every time
we have a virtual debate tournament at the high school
that I work at, we ordered Domino's pizza the Mix
and Match two or more for six ninety nine each.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
You know, it's fun fact. Kids, they love cheese pizza. Folks,
they love cheese pizza.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
You think you thought that pepperoni was the number one,
You're wrong. It's cheese and that's where I always purchase
from Domino's Pizza.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Thank you very much.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Okay, good job. Yesterday Alex wrote in, or I'm sorry.
Ali wrote in, and she said, hey, I ran into
you at a restaurant called nine twenty five and she
showed me a picture and I didn't remember where it was.
She refreshed my memory. It is in the hotel landing
in Wisetta. So the fancy part of Waiseetta. There used
to be like old buildings there, warehouses or something. Ten
(13:13):
or so years ago they tore it all down. They
built a beautiful hotel that's very boutiqueish, high end but small,
not a Hilton, not a Staybridge suites, but that is
where that is. Thank you for reminding me. Also, I
would highly be in support of the live podcast idea.
Count me in, all right, if you got any idea
(13:33):
how to organize this thing, let me know, because we
are at a loss on how to We're like, we
could say, let's do it and we're going to open
it up to the first one hundred and twenty five people.
But again I get worried, what if we get more
than that. If anybody loves the show enough that they
came all the way over here and didn't get then
they got turned away, I'd feel like garbage.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
You have to have like a door list or something
to like start adding to and then it has a
cap on it something like that.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
The problem, and you're right, the problem with that is
learned in my experience in this business that one third
of anybody who says they're going to come, well they
won't come. So we've done many many contests where it's like, Okay,
we need ten people to be on the show tomorrow
to play for a brand new car, and well, a
car is a bad example because they'll show up for
(14:17):
a car, but then fully one third of people, Like
when we would do Booty Cruise or Girls' Night Out
or Boo Bash, we would have to oversell it because
fully one third of people would not show up. So well,
you know what, We'll take a chance, We'll roll the
dice and if it bombs, then you know what, then
we've learned it. We live, never do anything again. Next one,
(14:41):
I'm going to delete that when somebody sent an adorable
picture of their dog, but that's really all they did
was send in the picture of their dog. And let's see,
hold on, let me delete here for a second. There's
the pizza guy and that is going to do it.
That is it for the Minnesota Goodbye as far as
I know. And that's it. Yeah, So send in your
(15:02):
emails to Ryan's show at KDWBT dot com and we'll
see you next time on the Minnesota Goodbye.
All right, here we go Minnesota Goodbye. We'd asked yesterday,
we said, hey, what do you think we did? Like
a live Minnesota Goodbye? And we like charged the admission to
get into for Christmas Wish and maybe twenty five bucks.
And so we got some good responses and I think
we'll probably do it, but we're kind of feeling our
way blindly through it. We don't know how to reserve spots,
and we don't just want to open up the doors.
(00:20):
What if we had too many people show up? Or
what if not enough people showed up? You know, if
six people showed up, we'd still do it. I don't care.
So Jackie writes in from South Saint Paul. I think
it'd be really fun to do a live session for
the Minnesota Goodbye is a fundraiser for Christmas Wish, especially
if offered after regular work hours. Count me in. I'd
pay twenty five bucks and I donate something beyond that too,

chili a chili cookoff. That's the kind of shit people
did back in nineteen eighty eight. If somebody was sick,
they would have the VFW sponsor at chili supper or
a spaghetti dinner or whatever. And the problem with those
was unless you just had an enormous circle of friends
or support, you'd make about one hundred and fifty dollars. Yeah,
(07:54):
so I think GoFundMe is great. And remember you're never
required to donate.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Unless work for the people who set up the GoF
on me.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
They're like, well, I could either make spaghetti for everybody,
invite people who don't show up, or I can just
post a page online and then repost it.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Right, Naomi writes in she says, so an answer to
the Minnesota goodbye on a Friday night, Yes, but six
would be better at four she wakes up early for work,
but yeah, she I don't know if she means six pm.
But anyway, she says, I work Saturdays. Can't do Saturdays
because I work at the airport. Thanksgiving veggie dish. Our
(08:31):
family makes a bomb broccoli corn casserole, So dang good
email back if you want the recipe. Yes, I can
email her back right now.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
I've ben I get these emails sent to my in box.
Let's see, it's called the Sunday Stack, and it's a
substack that like is just cooking. I don't know how
I found this girl. Her name's Katie, and she just
does all of these cooking recipe stuff and she's on
like a Thanksgiving kick right now. And Preshudo cranberry bree
(09:03):
puffs is what she just sent out today.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
And I always save all of these. Do I ever
make any of them.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
No, no, but they sound so good and she includes
pictures all the time. So that's what I'm imagining with
this cast role that you're talking about. I'm imagining fancy
photos sent to my email.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
That's why I'm planning on bringing in turkey breast to
smoke for you guys tomorrow. So I'm going to go
buy the store tonight and get all the stuff that
you the Brian I think it's called or something that
you soak it in overnight, and then I'm going to
roast or smoke a turkey with a countertop smoker in
the hallway tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
I'm so excited. I'm so jazz.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
I don't know how you need to bring. Maybe you
should bring a side. What side will you bring side?
Speaker 2 (09:40):
I'm just gonna eat a bunch of the turkey.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
That's fine' That is the meal. Next one. Don't say
my name. Dave. Your story about your friend asking for
money and reminded me of when a friend I had
not seen in ten years reached out to me for money.
I'm going to leave details out in case she listens.
I saw her at a local hobby store that sells
product that people spend disposable income on We said hi,
(10:03):
and that was it. The next day I got a
Facebook message from her asking for gas money. Since she
works far away and limited her work hours due to
health problems. I'm more than willing to help, but I
was puzzled because I saw her at the hobby store.
Surely you don't need the money if you're shopping at
a hobby store, right Anyway, I sent her fifty bucks
(10:26):
and she was very thankful. Less than a year later,
she posted pictures on Facebook of her and her husband
getting married at a very nice venue with over one
hundred friends and family members its guests. But I was
not invited. I wouldn't have gone anyway. But if she
was thankful for my donation, why wasn't I invited? If
she's got so many close friends and family at her wedding,
why didn't she ask them first? Could it be that
(10:46):
she was too embarrassed as spend but asked me because
I wasn't a close friend. How could she afford a
nice wedding? But eight months prior asked me for gas money.
I gave without expecting anything. Returns only fifty bucks. But
that's something that baffles me to this day. What is
your perspective on this love the show. Thanks for reading.
I'm going to guess that she is one of those
people that is always short of money and her friends
(11:09):
are tired of her asking. Yeah, somehow for her wedding,
she scraped it together. Maybe her dad pitched in or
his mom pitched in or something, so they had a
you know, one hundred people is a good number of
people at a wedding, Yeah, but it's not a three
hundred person wedding at the country club, you know. So
I'm going to guess that somehow she's scraped together eight
(11:31):
thousand dollars and had a nice wedding, but her friends
are tired of her asking.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
It's wild because, like, I don't have any friends that
ask for money necessarily, but I do have plenty of
friends who are like, I can't come because I'm waiting
for my check to come in from work, you know,
And it's always like, well, I can't come to that
thing because I'm waiting to get paid, all right.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Continuing on with the emails here on the Minnesota Goodbye,
just have to click click click a little bit here.
I love this one. Elliott works for Domino's Corporate here
in Minneapolis. My gosh, and he says, I would love
to give you a deep discount on pizzas for your
group if you do a live Minnesota Goodbye. Can you
(12:13):
reach out to me if you're interested. It's a man
stall for me for a second while I respond to him,
because if I don't respond, now he's going to think
I didn't.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Get say nice things about Domino's Pizza. So every time
we have a virtual debate tournament at the high school
that I work at, we ordered Domino's pizza the Mix
and Match two or more for six ninety nine each.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
You know, it's fun fact. Kids, they love cheese pizza. Folks,
they love cheese pizza.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
You think you thought that pepperoni was the number one,
You're wrong. It's cheese and that's where I always purchase
from Domino's Pizza.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Thank you very much.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Okay, good job. Yesterday Alex wrote in, or I'm sorry.
Ali wrote in, and she said, hey, I ran into
you at a restaurant called nine twenty five and she
showed me a picture and I didn't remember where it was.
She refreshed my memory. It is in the hotel landing
in Wisetta. So the fancy part of Waiseetta. There used
to be like old buildings there, warehouses or something. Ten
(13:13):
or so years ago they tore it all down. They
built a beautiful hotel that's very boutiqueish, high end but small,
not a Hilton, not a Staybridge suites, but that is
where that is. Thank you for reminding me. Also, I
would highly be in support of the live podcast idea.
Count me in, all right, if you got any idea
(13:33):
how to organize this thing, let me know, because we
are at a loss on how to We're like, we
could say, let's do it and we're going to open
it up to the first one hundred and twenty five people.
But again I get worried, what if we get more
than that. If anybody loves the show enough that they
came all the way over here and didn't get then
they got turned away, I'd feel like garbage.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
You have to have like a door list or something
to like start adding to and then it has a
cap on it something like that.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
The problem, and you're right, the problem with that is
learned in my experience in this business that one third
of anybody who says they're going to come, well they
won't come. So we've done many many contests where it's like, Okay,
we need ten people to be on the show tomorrow
to play for a brand new car, and well, a
car is a bad example because they'll show up for
(14:17):
a car, but then fully one third of people, Like
when we would do Booty Cruise or Girls' Night Out
or Boo Bash, we would have to oversell it because
fully one third of people would not show up. So well,
you know what, We'll take a chance, We'll roll the
dice and if it bombs, then you know what, then
we've learned it. We live, never do anything again. Next one,
(14:41):
I'm going to delete that when somebody sent an adorable
picture of their dog, but that's really all they did
was send in the picture of their dog. And let's see,
hold on, let me delete here for a second. There's
the pizza guy and that is going to do it.
That is it for the Minnesota Goodbye as far as
I know. And that's it. Yeah, So send in your
(15:02):
emails to Ryan's show at KDWBT dot com and we'll
see you next time on the Minnesota Goodbye.
