Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, starting with the Minnesota Goodbye, right now? You
all ready? Yeah? Okay, all right, here we go. This
is from Sid, who is a regular contributor to the
show Hello Fam, which I think she's trying to run like,
piss me off, because I don't like when radio people
call their listener's fam, Hey fam. It sounds insincere. I
(00:24):
know it's a cliche, kind of a trendish thing, right now,
Hey Fam, I get that, but it radio people have
been doing it for I don't know, ten years or so,
Hey fam, Hey Fam. And it's like, no, you know what,
I love you, but in a way, yes, I love
You're like family because you know, we share a lot
of things, but you've got your own family, you know
what I mean. So I think it's very insincere when
(00:46):
I hear a radio DJ from like the Cookie in
the Morning Zoo over in Cincinnati and they're like, hey fam,
it just sounds insincere.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Oh so, but I don't think Sid is insincere though.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
We think loves us and I love Sid. Yeah all right,
she says, I literally tell Minnesota Goodbye to play the
Minnesota Tell Alexa to play the Minnesota Goodbye on radio
on fuck. Can I start over?
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (01:10):
I literally tell Alexa to play the Minnesota Goodbye on
iHeartRadio all the time, and it works for me. Oh,
that'saw that yours doesn't work. I do believe I've learned.
I have to say, hey, Alexa, play the latest episode
of Dave Ryan's Minnesota Goodbye on iHeartRadio. Now, Alexa's going
off here in the background. Let's see if she responds nothing.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Playing the latest episode of Dave Ryan's Minnesota Goodbye, look
at my right hand on iHeartRadio.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
I was not here for the Minnesota Goodbye Colorado. Here's
it was interesting. I didn't want to listen to the
show because that was yesterday, rights, I didn't want Okay,
thank you know how to do it? So without giving
her the prompt, it says, play the latest episode of
Dave Ryan's Minnesota Goodbye on iHeartRadio. Wow. So I didn't
say the A word first, but interesting, okay, confirming it
(02:03):
works for me, So maybe try again either way those
extra words okay, anyway, Happy Birthday, Dave. Extra shout out
to Jenny as I'm truly impressed with how well you
crush hosting the show while Dave is out. I've been
listening for years, and I previously cringed when Dave is
out because it made me realize how truly gifted Dave
(02:24):
is at making a great show. Well, thank you, but
I now realize Jenny also has this gift. Keep up
the great work. Cheers from Sydney. So good job, thank you.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
I learned from the best. I seriously like study Dave,
who I try?
Speaker 2 (02:39):
And Bailey?
Speaker 3 (02:40):
I study both of you.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Yes, she was in the middle of a compliment.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
What do you study the best?
Speaker 1 (02:46):
I said, who, I get so few compliments? Keep going,
keep going?
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Come on, No, I do.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
I like watch how Dave handles things, and well.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
I taught Jenny a really interesting trick with the button,
like what the caller is. This is really is an
inside radio tip, but it's really true. If we're talking,
we do all of our phone calls live. We rarely
record anything. We record War of the Roses just for
time and swearing and that type of thing. But if
we have a caller on and they're kind of droning
on and on and on, instead of letting them go,
(03:14):
I'll wait until they take a breath, and I'll turn
them off as if they stop speaking, and then I'll
be like, oh yeah, Janelle, that's really an interesting story,
thanks for calling in. And you learn that trick from me,
because you know, some you know, you get nervous on
the radio or you're not the best storyteller, and you'll
be telling a long story and you'll be you know, like,
well I was wearing green shoes. Well wait, they weren't
(03:36):
entirely green. Some they had red heels on them.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Wait, maybe they were a different shoe, right, yeah, And
so I'll be like, Okay, well great, Janelle, and I'll
push the button off.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
So it's just one of the things to kind of
keep I think I've always been good at keeping things
moving forward. You know, you kind of get a feel for,
like when it's time to move on. Like Bailey's droning
on and on about her favorite Disney attraction and I'm like, okay,
well great, that's Allen.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
I love of the Haunted Mansion when you go in
and died.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Somebody died at Frontier Land.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Two people died this past week at Disney. So somebody
died at like one of the gosh, Frontier something resorts
a resort, okay, Frontier one of the well, there's Frontier Land.
But there's a resort that someone died at Fort Wilderness, Yes,
Fort Wilderness, and then someone died at the Contemporary, But
(04:25):
the Fort Wilderness one it was just like a guy
who died in his sleep something.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
He was at the campground and he died year Tuesday,
second guest death there in a week.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Yeah. And the other one was at the Contemporary and
someone jumped from the A frame because it's an a frame.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
They jump inside, yeah, I think because the A frame
slants obviously to the inside.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Yes, so they jumped, which is really sad.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Really, that's a shitty thing to do. I'm sorry, you
know what, to expose everybody else to that experience, including
little kids. I'm sorry. It's terrible that you were at
a place in your life where you wanted to kill
your but that is a shitty, selfish thing to do.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
It's wild to me that it's that both of these
deaths though, are like out because usually Disney is so
good at covering up any deaths that happen at the
park because they'll like pay a bunch of money to
get people to like not talk about it or not,
like I don't know, but because people die on like
the monorail all the time, and they just don't all
the time.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
We again, wait, what do you mean because it's dangerous.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
No, it's not like people like get onto the track
and then jump off of it or they get hit
by a monoail or something. And sometimes you could have.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
A dumb ass you got to be to get hit
by the monoail.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
That's the people who don't follow the safety rules, which
is why, like, so Disney has this thing called the
four Keys of Excellence, and it's safety, courtesy, efficiency, and show.
And safety is the number one key because if you're
doing something that's unsafe, then like you get fired for
anything that you do that's unsafe. So they have huge
safety precautions and then it's the people who go beyond
(05:57):
the safety precaution that die. But and they usually covered
up really good.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Yeah, Okay, I wonder if there's more difficult to do
now with like cell phones and things like that.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
So that's why I'm saying that two different deaths in
a week are both being publicized, which is wild to
me because usually they're so good at covering that stuff up.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Very interesting anyway, all right, next one, here we go.
It's Jen and Cam again. They've written in before. And
we have a few more questions for you guys. How
do you decide when the title? What the title is
for each episode of the Minnesota Goodbye, and who is
in charge for creating the title?
Speaker 2 (06:30):
It is me, Bailey. I am the one who picks
the title. Usually, if it's somebody says something funny, I
will track that. If nobody says something funny, I try
to find like something. So yesterday Dave was talking about
doing magic tricks and that kids are always like looking
at the wrong hand. So he's going like, look at
my right hand, which is why I wrote it, or I.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Titled my right hand, Oh clever? Okay.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
So it's usually if somebody says something funny, like today
already I wrote down, hey, fam might be the title.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Of the that's a good one episodes.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
So I just try and listen for.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
I think that it compels people to listen if they
see an interesting title, like we titled this one boner World,
right yeah. I mean it doesn't have anything to do
with what we're talking about except that I just uttered
the words boner World.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Right yeah. And I think, yeah, it would attract people
to listen. And I do the same thing for the
show podcast like the six Am Hours called Depression Orange,
because I thought.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
That was I appreciate that you do that. That's that's
a little bit of like creativity that we're we don't see, Yeah,
but it's there.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
So thank you're my best guys.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Next one for Jenny Vonton Bailey. What are your future
career goals? Do y'all want to stay in the radio
industry long term?
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Jenny, Yeah, that's a great question.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
I don't have an answer outside of I like where
I'm at now and it's great, but radio has changed
a lot, so I don't know that radio is my
forever future.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Oh you just got laid off, Jenny, so you're going
to grab your shit.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
We'll see if I make it another year the way
that unfortunately radio has been going, not because I'm leaving
or anything, but because I don't know if it's unstable.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
I think the thing is that if you do well,
you're a little bit more insulated than people who are disposable.
And that's certainly not to say that everybody who's gotten
laid off from KWB didn't do well, but it is
helpful if you do well, so people don't look at
you and go, well, they're kind of a pain in
the ass, or they don't really like working here, or
(08:19):
they gossip a lot or whatever. And I think that
some of those people have been gone, but there's also
been some wonderful people like Tina. I love Tina, and
she was laid off not because she didn't do well,
but because they were just looking to cut costs. Yeah,
what's a company that's hiring people? You know what I mean?
What's a company that's like, fuck, we are swimming in
at Google or Apple? Like they got a break room
(08:41):
full of free food and they get a gym and
a chef that comes in and makes omelets on Friday mornings.
What company? If you work at a company that's just
thriving and you have like free candy in the break
room and you got a chef to make an omelet
on Friday, and you got a clown that comes in
on like Wednesday for the kids, it's whatever. What's the
company that is there a company that's thriving to that point?
Speaker 3 (09:03):
I know that my sister's company, she works for, Chobanni.
They are doing what's again it's yogurt yogurt, but they've
also accumulated other things, like they now own the like
cold Brew Coffee La Columbe however you say that, Yeah,
but man, they treat their employees so well. My sister
like has it pretty good with them, and she loves
(09:24):
working for them, Like she is constantly talking about how
much she loves the CEO, and like she was just
at this bougie food conference in Chicago the other week,
and like the way that they're treated there. I mean
they get to expense like a fucking steak in lobster dinner,
you know, like at everything they do. So Chobanni is
doing great according to everyone.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
I mean, that's great. And you know, you go somewhere
like I don't know, if maybe you're in Las Vegas
and you see the Sherwin Williams Paint Convention and it's
a bunch of men and women who sell paint and
manage the whatever, and they're out there fucking living it
up and going to a show and walking around drunk
with a yard of beer in their hand on the
strip and it's like, Okay, that's cool. Or something like
(10:06):
maybe the Johnson Wax Company flies all their people up
to you know, like a big cabin. I don't know why,
I picked Johnson Wax or whatever. But it's like, we
don't really get that in radio. But I think that
the people up at the top of radio, they still
have the iHeart yacht yeah, and the iHeart you know
whatever this and dinner and whatever. But I don't know,
(10:27):
we just we don't. I'm not complaining. Yeah, you did
get free Jonas Brothers tickets.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
I did.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
I got to go to the iHeartRadio Music Festival, So
you know, we do get things here and there.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Yeah. I mean my whole life before this I worked
in nonprofits, so like we got jack shit and nothing.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
So having anybody like get cool free stuff or you know,
jetaway to something as a perk man, that sounds cool.
Like the coolest thing I did was I got to
go to Washington, d C. But I was working the
whole time, but I was in DC. So you get
to take the things that I guess, I mean, you've
got to make the most of it.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Yeah, true good attitude.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Okay. The next email that we've got here is from Thurston.
It's more for vaunt or I think it's an involving vond,
but it's for all of us. I heard Vaster the
pod about first jobs and not giving people training straight
from school. I wonder the same thing or who decided
the two to three years as entry level. Was this
a discussion on Monday or Tuesday. I don't misery about
with me, but let's let's keep reading. The vast majority
(11:27):
of people are not in a place or able to
do unpaid work during or after school. My first job
was slinging newspapers at two am to about seven am.
Not only wasn't easy, it was hard on your sleep
schedule in your car too. I did about sixty stops
each morning. Worse, I got scolded for doing that job.
After the economic breakdown fifty years ago, I sometimes see
(11:48):
people wrapping up in the morning early worse with little
ones in tow so they'd oh, they'd have to like
take their little ones. Never got how people swung that
than a job during the day. When I left after
a year, I found out that all the routes were
full and people on the list waiting for someone to leave.
So wow, yeah, I'm not sure how. I wish I
(12:09):
knew exactly what he was talking about, but I will.
It reminds me that we don't have interns on the
show anymore. And I there's a different theory about interns.
Some people are like, pay your interns, Well, we never
did pay interns, and I think traditionally that's kind of
what an intern was. And Jenny was an intern. You
(12:29):
worked for free, and that was your foot, your foot
in the door for radio. It was Yeah, yeah, was
it worth it to work for free?
Speaker 3 (12:36):
I mean I think it was. Did I have my
sanity in college? No? I had extreme anxiety because I
was an intern here, I had a pr internship, I
had a part time job, and I went to school.
So there is something to be said that, yeah, like
not have it, Like, I don't know, I have thoughts
on it. I just think that a lot of rich
people have rich parents who have connections, so they get
(13:01):
like good internships easily because they have these connections already
and they don't necessarily need the money. But then other
people like me, who had to pay for every single
thing in my life. I had to do a million
extra things. So yeah, it would have been nice to
be paid and maybe not have to work quite as
much as I did, and like have more of my
sanity in college.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
I think there's definitely like a privilege to being able
to do an unpaid internship, because if it was me
and I had the choice of an unpaid internship or
like working a job so I could pay my rent,
I wouldn't be able to do the internship like period,
because I needed to pay rent. So if you have
the money, great, and yeah, sometimes you know it's your
(13:42):
parents' money, so that's great too.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Would you today, if you were in college in twenty
twenty five, would you take an unpaid internship in a
career that you're passionate about and want to be it?
Speaker 2 (13:54):
I couldn't afford it.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
No, I couldn't afford it.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
No, I couldn't afford it. I would find something to
tell me.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
And I'm not trying to be like, you know, provocketive,
but what do you mean you can't afford it?
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Like I couldn't afford to work for free, and because
if that's taking up all of my.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Time, it's it's only two hours for three days a week.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Well, yeah, if I could do it for two hours,
because then I would think like, yeah, I could have
another job on top of it, okay and be able
to pay rent. And if that's just two hours, because
I could do I mean, I could do an unpaid internship.
Now if it's only two hours every day, but if
I am expected to work like a job, like a
full time job, and not sure, yeah, which I think
some internships are like really heavy, like hours and it
(14:34):
does require a privilege of not having to worry about
fair enough.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
Now, my internship I had when it was required to
have an internship at a TV station, and I worked
at the local CBS affiliate in Colorado Springs, and I
think I worked maybe four hours on Saturday morning, four
hours on Sunday morning, something like that, and that was it,
And you know, I didn't want to get into TV,
(15:00):
but it was kind of a cool experience. I sat
there in the newsroom and listened to the police scanners
and if there was ever in a call, I'd send
a reporter out to the fire or the car wreck
or the train derailment or whatever. And only one time
in my entire internship did I get a phone call
or did I get oh, there's a trained e railment
in Fountain. So I radioed one of the reporters. He's like, yeah,
(15:23):
I already heard it him on my way.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Well, gool, you got a lot of sitting time. And
then at least you get good rest.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
Yeah, so internships. Okay, next one, Let's see if I
got another one here really quick, hoping you can give
my son Sam a birthday shout out on Friday. I'll
try to remember to do that. So the they send
a picture of me and Sam together at Benny Hannah.
He says, Sam shares a birthday with Dave October twenty fourth,
(15:53):
and was excited to meet David Benni Hanna on their
birthday in twenty seventeen. Sam is now turning eighteen. In
this picture taken soon eight years ago, he would have
been ten years old. And there's a little picture of
Sam and his little sister. So and there we are
at Bennie Hannah.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Yeah, Texas tomorrow at five three nine, two to one,
and then we'll more likely see it when it's right.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
In front of my or Jenny, you want to remember,
or I'll just forward this to you, Jenny, because I
hate the idea of like little Sam listened to the
radio and then waiting and it's like, oh, we never now,
because he's eighteen.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
He's not little no more. He's big.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
He's a big boy. I think there was maybe one
more and okay, Yeah, here's the last one. Hello Morning Show.
You were doing a segment on what we thought you
looked like before we saw you. We did this couple
of days ago. Yesterday, well we.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
Did it like a week ago, but then we brought
an email yesterday about it.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
I was in middle school and I with my mom
went to pick up my brother from karate. You were
there with Carson. I don't remember what you looked like
because it's age. Anybody over twenty was just old. How
long did Carson do karate? How did you end up
at karate? Did you ever join love y'all? From Taylor Taylor,
(17:11):
that's a really interesting email. Carson took karate from about
age five to maybe about age nine. He did get
his black belt. Once you get his black belt, he
did what everybody does. They take a break and they
never go back. Yep. Would Carson be able to kick
anybody's ass back then? No. Karate at that age is
kind of like a dance. It's remembering the moves and
(17:34):
there's a name for the moves and I can't remember,
but it's like, Okay, you start with your hands in
this position, yeah, and then you jerk your hands back
to this position. And then you go to the side
and you do it again and you go yeah, ha ha,
and it's a dance and it's coordinated, and there's no
they didn't really do any what do they call it sparring? Sure?
Speaker 2 (17:53):
Yeah, they didn't actually like fight.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
No, I don't think so.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Would you say it was more like instead of learning karate,
you were learning so discipline or something.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
I'd say that's very much what it was. Yeah, And
it was cute. And the little kids were adorable little outfits. Yeah,
they had the little outfits, and we bought the every
fucking belt. We had to buy another belt. The belts
were like fourteen dollars. And then of course we had
to have the rack to hang on his bedroom wall
with all of the belts that he had progressed through.
That rack is leaning against the wall in the guest
room closet, right it is so. But I will tell you,
(18:25):
if I was younger, I would be interested in taking like,
you know, karate or tai chi or kung fu or
something like that.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
I took dance when I was that age, like from
age you know, three to eight or something like that,
and same thing. I wanted to take one year off
and my mom let me and I just never went
back to it, and I kind of wish that she
just said no, like you have to keep doing it,
because then I couldn't dance and I can't.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Yeah, it's like anything, Well you did dance in Vaughn's video, Well, yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
That was that dancing? Or was that falling with style? Yeah,
that's the real thing.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
I think it's anything where you like, I'm going to
take a break and then you never go back, whether
it's guitar lessons or going to the gym. You're like,
I've been working out with a trainer and I'm going
to take a break for a couple of months. I'll
be back and then I think your chances of not
going back.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
Are really good.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
And a friend of mine who used to recruit for
Brown College and they're one of their sales pitches was
to kids who just got out of high school who
want to take what do they call it a gap year? Yeah,
and he said, because and this was a statistic, and
I don't know how true it is now, it was
a while ago. He said, you know, like eighty percent
of kids who say they're going to take a gap
year never go to college. Really something like that, and
(19:40):
that was one of his sales pitches is like, yeah,
you know what, I'm going to take a gap year.
I'm not going to go to Brown. Well, all the
chances are if you never go into college now are
twenty percent.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
That bums me out because I feel like, at least
if you go to like grad school, you should definitely
take time after undergraduate because I was when I went
to grad school, I had all this wonderful, full like
life experience that I could pull from, and then I
was like, gosh, wish I wish I had taken a
gap year before my undergrad so I could have like
lived life and then had something to you know, like
(20:10):
write about. But knowing that, you know, I get it though,
if you were in school for thirteen years and then
you take a year off, like why go back? So
I get it going into undergrad like just keep going
on that train. But grad school I would not go.
If it was me and somebody asked me for advice,
I would say, wait to go to grad school, So
don't go right away after undergrad because that's all you've
(20:33):
known is school your whole life.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
That's a good point, So I really, yeah, that's a
very good point. Tell me your experience. Did you plan
on going to college but you took a gap year
and you never went? Or did you take a gap
year and then you went yeah? Or did you after
you got your undergrad went right for your What is
next after that master's grad?
Speaker 2 (20:49):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Masters, masters is next, So tell me your experience with
that one. And also, do you know karate?
Speaker 2 (20:56):
Do you know karate?
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Do you? Is that a movie line? I don't know? Okay,
thank you. If you anything you want to comment on,
maybe something struck a nerve, send me an email. Ryan
Show at KTWB dot com. What are you gonna call
this episode?
Speaker 3 (21:11):
Well?
Speaker 2 (21:11):
I was gonna say hey, hey, fan, but then you
said bone or something.
Speaker 3 (21:15):
When I say bone, boner, police, bon.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
Look it up? Okay? Perfect? Thanks for listening. Ryan's Show
at KDWB dot com
All right, starting with the Minnesota Goodbye, right now? You
all ready? Yeah? Okay, all right, here we go. This
is from Sid, who is a regular contributor to the
show Hello Fam, which I think she's trying to run like,
piss me off, because I don't like when radio people
call their listener's fam, Hey fam. It sounds insincere. I
(00:24):
know it's a cliche, kind of a trendish thing, right now,
Hey Fam, I get that, but it radio people have
been doing it for I don't know, ten years or so,
Hey fam, Hey Fam. And it's like, no, you know what,
I love you, but in a way, yes, I love
You're like family because you know, we share a lot
of things, but you've got your own family, you know
what I mean. So I think it's very insincere when
(00:46):
I hear a radio DJ from like the Cookie in
the Morning Zoo over in Cincinnati and they're like, hey fam,
it just sounds insincere.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Oh so, but I don't think Sid is insincere though.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
We think loves us and I love Sid. Yeah all right,
she says, I literally tell Minnesota Goodbye to play the
Minnesota Tell Alexa to play the Minnesota Goodbye on radio
on fuck. Can I start over?
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (01:10):
I literally tell Alexa to play the Minnesota Goodbye on
iHeartRadio all the time, and it works for me. Oh,
that'saw that yours doesn't work. I do believe I've learned.
I have to say, hey, Alexa, play the latest episode
of Dave Ryan's Minnesota Goodbye on iHeartRadio. Now, Alexa's going
off here in the background. Let's see if she responds nothing.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Playing the latest episode of Dave Ryan's Minnesota Goodbye, look
at my right hand on iHeartRadio.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
I was not here for the Minnesota Goodbye Colorado. Here's
it was interesting. I didn't want to listen to the
show because that was yesterday, rights, I didn't want Okay,
thank you know how to do it? So without giving
her the prompt, it says, play the latest episode of
Dave Ryan's Minnesota Goodbye on iHeartRadio. Wow. So I didn't
say the A word first, but interesting, okay, confirming it
(02:03):
works for me, So maybe try again either way those
extra words okay, anyway, Happy Birthday, Dave. Extra shout out
to Jenny as I'm truly impressed with how well you
crush hosting the show while Dave is out. I've been
listening for years, and I previously cringed when Dave is
out because it made me realize how truly gifted Dave
(02:24):
is at making a great show. Well, thank you, but
I now realize Jenny also has this gift. Keep up
the great work. Cheers from Sydney. So good job, thank you.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
I learned from the best. I seriously like study Dave,
who I try?
Speaker 2 (02:39):
And Bailey?
Speaker 3 (02:40):
I study both of you.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Yes, she was in the middle of a compliment.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
What do you study the best?
Speaker 1 (02:46):
I said, who, I get so few compliments? Keep going,
keep going?
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Come on, No, I do.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
I like watch how Dave handles things, and well.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
I taught Jenny a really interesting trick with the button,
like what the caller is. This is really is an
inside radio tip, but it's really true. If we're talking,
we do all of our phone calls live. We rarely
record anything. We record War of the Roses just for
time and swearing and that type of thing. But if
we have a caller on and they're kind of droning
on and on and on, instead of letting them go,
(03:14):
I'll wait until they take a breath, and I'll turn
them off as if they stop speaking, and then I'll
be like, oh yeah, Janelle, that's really an interesting story,
thanks for calling in. And you learn that trick from me,
because you know, some you know, you get nervous on
the radio or you're not the best storyteller, and you'll
be telling a long story and you'll be you know, like,
well I was wearing green shoes. Well wait, they weren't
(03:36):
entirely green. Some they had red heels on them.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Wait, maybe they were a different shoe, right, yeah, And
so I'll be like, Okay, well great, Janelle, and I'll
push the button off.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
So it's just one of the things to kind of
keep I think I've always been good at keeping things
moving forward. You know, you kind of get a feel for,
like when it's time to move on. Like Bailey's droning
on and on about her favorite Disney attraction and I'm like, okay,
well great, that's Allen.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
I love of the Haunted Mansion when you go in
and died.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Somebody died at Frontier Land.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Two people died this past week at Disney. So somebody
died at like one of the gosh, Frontier something resorts
a resort, okay, Frontier one of the well, there's Frontier Land.
But there's a resort that someone died at Fort Wilderness, Yes,
Fort Wilderness, and then someone died at the Contemporary, But
(04:25):
the Fort Wilderness one it was just like a guy
who died in his sleep something.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
He was at the campground and he died year Tuesday,
second guest death there in a week.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Yeah. And the other one was at the Contemporary and
someone jumped from the A frame because it's an a frame.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
They jump inside, yeah, I think because the A frame
slants obviously to the inside.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Yes, so they jumped, which is really sad.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Really, that's a shitty thing to do. I'm sorry, you
know what, to expose everybody else to that experience, including
little kids. I'm sorry. It's terrible that you were at
a place in your life where you wanted to kill
your but that is a shitty, selfish thing to do.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
It's wild to me that it's that both of these
deaths though, are like out because usually Disney is so
good at covering up any deaths that happen at the
park because they'll like pay a bunch of money to
get people to like not talk about it or not,
like I don't know, but because people die on like
the monorail all the time, and they just don't all
the time.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
We again, wait, what do you mean because it's dangerous.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
No, it's not like people like get onto the track
and then jump off of it or they get hit
by a monoail or something. And sometimes you could have.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
A dumb ass you got to be to get hit
by the monoail.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
That's the people who don't follow the safety rules, which
is why, like, so Disney has this thing called the
four Keys of Excellence, and it's safety, courtesy, efficiency, and show.
And safety is the number one key because if you're
doing something that's unsafe, then like you get fired for
anything that you do that's unsafe. So they have huge
safety precautions and then it's the people who go beyond
(05:57):
the safety precaution that die. But and they usually covered
up really good.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Yeah, Okay, I wonder if there's more difficult to do
now with like cell phones and things like that.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
So that's why I'm saying that two different deaths in
a week are both being publicized, which is wild to
me because usually they're so good at covering that stuff up.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Very interesting anyway, all right, next one, here we go.
It's Jen and Cam again. They've written in before. And
we have a few more questions for you guys. How
do you decide when the title? What the title is
for each episode of the Minnesota Goodbye, and who is
in charge for creating the title?
Speaker 2 (06:30):
It is me, Bailey. I am the one who picks
the title. Usually, if it's somebody says something funny, I
will track that. If nobody says something funny, I try
to find like something. So yesterday Dave was talking about
doing magic tricks and that kids are always like looking
at the wrong hand. So he's going like, look at
my right hand, which is why I wrote it, or I.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Titled my right hand, Oh clever? Okay.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
So it's usually if somebody says something funny, like today
already I wrote down, hey, fam might be the title.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Of the that's a good one episodes.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
So I just try and listen for.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
I think that it compels people to listen if they
see an interesting title, like we titled this one boner World,
right yeah. I mean it doesn't have anything to do
with what we're talking about except that I just uttered
the words boner World.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Right yeah. And I think, yeah, it would attract people
to listen. And I do the same thing for the
show podcast like the six Am Hours called Depression Orange,
because I thought.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
That was I appreciate that you do that. That's that's
a little bit of like creativity that we're we don't see, Yeah,
but it's there.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
So thank you're my best guys.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Next one for Jenny Vonton Bailey. What are your future
career goals? Do y'all want to stay in the radio
industry long term?
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Jenny, Yeah, that's a great question.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
I don't have an answer outside of I like where
I'm at now and it's great, but radio has changed
a lot, so I don't know that radio is my
forever future.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Oh you just got laid off, Jenny, so you're going
to grab your shit.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
We'll see if I make it another year the way
that unfortunately radio has been going, not because I'm leaving
or anything, but because I don't know if it's unstable.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
I think the thing is that if you do well,
you're a little bit more insulated than people who are disposable.
And that's certainly not to say that everybody who's gotten
laid off from KWB didn't do well, but it is
helpful if you do well, so people don't look at
you and go, well, they're kind of a pain in
the ass, or they don't really like working here, or
(08:19):
they gossip a lot or whatever. And I think that
some of those people have been gone, but there's also
been some wonderful people like Tina. I love Tina, and
she was laid off not because she didn't do well,
but because they were just looking to cut costs. Yeah,
what's a company that's hiring people? You know what I mean?
What's a company that's like, fuck, we are swimming in
at Google or Apple? Like they got a break room
(08:41):
full of free food and they get a gym and
a chef that comes in and makes omelets on Friday mornings.
What company? If you work at a company that's just
thriving and you have like free candy in the break
room and you got a chef to make an omelet
on Friday, and you got a clown that comes in
on like Wednesday for the kids, it's whatever. What's the
company that is there a company that's thriving to that point?
Speaker 3 (09:03):
I know that my sister's company, she works for, Chobanni.
They are doing what's again it's yogurt yogurt, but they've
also accumulated other things, like they now own the like
cold Brew Coffee La Columbe however you say that, Yeah,
but man, they treat their employees so well. My sister
like has it pretty good with them, and she loves
(09:24):
working for them, Like she is constantly talking about how
much she loves the CEO, and like she was just
at this bougie food conference in Chicago the other week,
and like the way that they're treated there. I mean
they get to expense like a fucking steak in lobster dinner,
you know, like at everything they do. So Chobanni is
doing great according to everyone.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
I mean, that's great. And you know, you go somewhere
like I don't know, if maybe you're in Las Vegas
and you see the Sherwin Williams Paint Convention and it's
a bunch of men and women who sell paint and
manage the whatever, and they're out there fucking living it
up and going to a show and walking around drunk
with a yard of beer in their hand on the
strip and it's like, Okay, that's cool. Or something like
(10:06):
maybe the Johnson Wax Company flies all their people up
to you know, like a big cabin. I don't know why,
I picked Johnson Wax or whatever. But it's like, we
don't really get that in radio. But I think that
the people up at the top of radio, they still
have the iHeart yacht yeah, and the iHeart you know
whatever this and dinner and whatever. But I don't know,
(10:27):
we just we don't. I'm not complaining. Yeah, you did
get free Jonas Brothers tickets.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
I did.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
I got to go to the iHeartRadio Music Festival, So
you know, we do get things here and there.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Yeah. I mean my whole life before this I worked
in nonprofits, so like we got jack shit and nothing.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
So having anybody like get cool free stuff or you know,
jetaway to something as a perk man, that sounds cool.
Like the coolest thing I did was I got to
go to Washington, d C. But I was working the
whole time, but I was in DC. So you get
to take the things that I guess, I mean, you've
got to make the most of it.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Yeah, true good attitude.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Okay. The next email that we've got here is from Thurston.
It's more for vaunt or I think it's an involving vond,
but it's for all of us. I heard Vaster the
pod about first jobs and not giving people training straight
from school. I wonder the same thing or who decided
the two to three years as entry level. Was this
a discussion on Monday or Tuesday. I don't misery about
with me, but let's let's keep reading. The vast majority
(11:27):
of people are not in a place or able to
do unpaid work during or after school. My first job
was slinging newspapers at two am to about seven am.
Not only wasn't easy, it was hard on your sleep
schedule in your car too. I did about sixty stops
each morning. Worse, I got scolded for doing that job.
After the economic breakdown fifty years ago, I sometimes see
(11:48):
people wrapping up in the morning early worse with little
ones in tow so they'd oh, they'd have to like
take their little ones. Never got how people swung that
than a job during the day. When I left after
a year, I found out that all the routes were
full and people on the list waiting for someone to leave.
So wow, yeah, I'm not sure how. I wish I
(12:09):
knew exactly what he was talking about, but I will.
It reminds me that we don't have interns on the
show anymore. And I there's a different theory about interns.
Some people are like, pay your interns, Well, we never
did pay interns, and I think traditionally that's kind of
what an intern was. And Jenny was an intern. You
(12:29):
worked for free, and that was your foot, your foot
in the door for radio. It was Yeah, yeah, was
it worth it to work for free?
Speaker 3 (12:36):
I mean I think it was. Did I have my
sanity in college? No? I had extreme anxiety because I
was an intern here, I had a pr internship, I
had a part time job, and I went to school.
So there is something to be said that, yeah, like
not have it, Like, I don't know, I have thoughts
on it. I just think that a lot of rich
people have rich parents who have connections, so they get
(13:01):
like good internships easily because they have these connections already
and they don't necessarily need the money. But then other
people like me, who had to pay for every single
thing in my life. I had to do a million
extra things. So yeah, it would have been nice to
be paid and maybe not have to work quite as
much as I did, and like have more of my
sanity in college.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
I think there's definitely like a privilege to being able
to do an unpaid internship, because if it was me
and I had the choice of an unpaid internship or
like working a job so I could pay my rent,
I wouldn't be able to do the internship like period,
because I needed to pay rent. So if you have
the money, great, and yeah, sometimes you know it's your
(13:42):
parents' money, so that's great too.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Would you today, if you were in college in twenty
twenty five, would you take an unpaid internship in a
career that you're passionate about and want to be it?
Speaker 2 (13:54):
I couldn't afford it.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
No, I couldn't afford it.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
No, I couldn't afford it. I would find something to
tell me.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
And I'm not trying to be like, you know, provocketive,
but what do you mean you can't afford it?
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Like I couldn't afford to work for free, and because
if that's taking up all of my.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Time, it's it's only two hours for three days a week.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Well, yeah, if I could do it for two hours,
because then I would think like, yeah, I could have
another job on top of it, okay and be able
to pay rent. And if that's just two hours, because
I could do I mean, I could do an unpaid internship.
Now if it's only two hours every day, but if
I am expected to work like a job, like a
full time job, and not sure, yeah, which I think
some internships are like really heavy, like hours and it
(14:34):
does require a privilege of not having to worry about
fair enough.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
Now, my internship I had when it was required to
have an internship at a TV station, and I worked
at the local CBS affiliate in Colorado Springs, and I
think I worked maybe four hours on Saturday morning, four
hours on Sunday morning, something like that, and that was it,
And you know, I didn't want to get into TV,
(15:00):
but it was kind of a cool experience. I sat
there in the newsroom and listened to the police scanners
and if there was ever in a call, I'd send
a reporter out to the fire or the car wreck
or the train derailment or whatever. And only one time
in my entire internship did I get a phone call
or did I get oh, there's a trained e railment
in Fountain. So I radioed one of the reporters. He's like, yeah,
(15:23):
I already heard it him on my way.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Well, gool, you got a lot of sitting time. And
then at least you get good rest.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
Yeah, so internships. Okay, next one, Let's see if I
got another one here really quick, hoping you can give
my son Sam a birthday shout out on Friday. I'll
try to remember to do that. So the they send
a picture of me and Sam together at Benny Hannah.
He says, Sam shares a birthday with Dave October twenty fourth,
(15:53):
and was excited to meet David Benni Hanna on their
birthday in twenty seventeen. Sam is now turning eighteen. In
this picture taken soon eight years ago, he would have
been ten years old. And there's a little picture of
Sam and his little sister. So and there we are
at Bennie Hannah.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Yeah, Texas tomorrow at five three nine, two to one,
and then we'll more likely see it when it's right.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
In front of my or Jenny, you want to remember,
or I'll just forward this to you, Jenny, because I
hate the idea of like little Sam listened to the
radio and then waiting and it's like, oh, we never now,
because he's eighteen.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
He's not little no more. He's big.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
He's a big boy. I think there was maybe one
more and okay, Yeah, here's the last one. Hello Morning Show.
You were doing a segment on what we thought you
looked like before we saw you. We did this couple
of days ago. Yesterday, well we.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
Did it like a week ago, but then we brought
an email yesterday about it.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
I was in middle school and I with my mom
went to pick up my brother from karate. You were
there with Carson. I don't remember what you looked like
because it's age. Anybody over twenty was just old. How
long did Carson do karate? How did you end up
at karate? Did you ever join love y'all? From Taylor Taylor,
(17:11):
that's a really interesting email. Carson took karate from about
age five to maybe about age nine. He did get
his black belt. Once you get his black belt, he
did what everybody does. They take a break and they
never go back. Yep. Would Carson be able to kick
anybody's ass back then? No. Karate at that age is
kind of like a dance. It's remembering the moves and
(17:34):
there's a name for the moves and I can't remember,
but it's like, Okay, you start with your hands in
this position, yeah, and then you jerk your hands back
to this position. And then you go to the side
and you do it again and you go yeah, ha ha,
and it's a dance and it's coordinated, and there's no
they didn't really do any what do they call it sparring? Sure?
Speaker 2 (17:53):
Yeah, they didn't actually like fight.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
No, I don't think so.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Would you say it was more like instead of learning karate,
you were learning so discipline or something.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
I'd say that's very much what it was. Yeah, And
it was cute. And the little kids were adorable little outfits. Yeah,
they had the little outfits, and we bought the every
fucking belt. We had to buy another belt. The belts
were like fourteen dollars. And then of course we had
to have the rack to hang on his bedroom wall
with all of the belts that he had progressed through.
That rack is leaning against the wall in the guest
room closet, right it is so. But I will tell you,
(18:25):
if I was younger, I would be interested in taking like,
you know, karate or tai chi or kung fu or
something like that.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
I took dance when I was that age, like from
age you know, three to eight or something like that,
and same thing. I wanted to take one year off
and my mom let me and I just never went
back to it, and I kind of wish that she
just said no, like you have to keep doing it,
because then I couldn't dance and I can't.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Yeah, it's like anything, Well you did dance in Vaughn's video, Well, yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
That was that dancing? Or was that falling with style? Yeah,
that's the real thing.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
I think it's anything where you like, I'm going to
take a break and then you never go back, whether
it's guitar lessons or going to the gym. You're like,
I've been working out with a trainer and I'm going
to take a break for a couple of months. I'll
be back and then I think your chances of not
going back.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
Are really good.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
And a friend of mine who used to recruit for
Brown College and they're one of their sales pitches was
to kids who just got out of high school who
want to take what do they call it a gap year? Yeah,
and he said, because and this was a statistic, and
I don't know how true it is now, it was
a while ago. He said, you know, like eighty percent
of kids who say they're going to take a gap
year never go to college. Really something like that, and
(19:40):
that was one of his sales pitches is like, yeah,
you know what, I'm going to take a gap year.
I'm not going to go to Brown. Well, all the
chances are if you never go into college now are
twenty percent.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
That bums me out because I feel like, at least
if you go to like grad school, you should definitely
take time after undergraduate because I was when I went
to grad school, I had all this wonderful, full like
life experience that I could pull from, and then I
was like, gosh, wish I wish I had taken a
gap year before my undergrad so I could have like
lived life and then had something to you know, like
(20:10):
write about. But knowing that, you know, I get it though,
if you were in school for thirteen years and then
you take a year off, like why go back? So
I get it going into undergrad like just keep going
on that train. But grad school I would not go.
If it was me and somebody asked me for advice,
I would say, wait to go to grad school, So
don't go right away after undergrad because that's all you've
(20:33):
known is school your whole life.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
That's a good point, So I really, yeah, that's a
very good point. Tell me your experience. Did you plan
on going to college but you took a gap year
and you never went? Or did you take a gap
year and then you went yeah? Or did you after
you got your undergrad went right for your What is
next after that master's grad?
Speaker 2 (20:49):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Masters, masters is next, So tell me your experience with
that one. And also, do you know karate?
Speaker 2 (20:56):
Do you know karate?
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Do you? Is that a movie line? I don't know? Okay,
thank you. If you anything you want to comment on,
maybe something struck a nerve, send me an email. Ryan

this episode?
Speaker 3 (21:11):
Well?
Speaker 2 (21:11):
I was gonna say hey, hey, fan, but then you
