Speaker 1 (00:00):
Oh, welcome to the Minnesota Goodbye. And if you're a
first time listener, Basically we do a lot of emails
and we call it the Minnesota Goodbye because it's based
on the fact that when you leave in Minnesota, you
takes a half an hour to say goodbye. So you know,
if like somebody's leaving your party, you will follow them
out to their car and then you'll stand by the
(00:21):
car for ten minutes and then they get into the car,
they roll the window down. You talk for another ten minutes.
And that is why it's called the Minnesota Goodbye, because
we should say goodbye after the show, but we just don't.
I went to a party last night. I went to
my friend Kelly. She is a cop up in Coon Rapids.
She used to be in my band when I had
that brass band, and she is hysterical.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
I met her at.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
The Dog made up we did up in that vicinity. Yeah,
she swung by at the end, so I got to
meet her.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Yeah, she is one of the funniest people that I know.
Neither of us are really fat, but we call each
other fat fuck large, Marge, fat ass, fatty all the time,
and it's one of those things where like when I
call you a like a what I called you an old,
fat old bitch.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
You started with fat old bitch and then this week
it changed to you big fat bitch, and I was like, no,
we can't have big fat bitch.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
I'll take fat old bitch.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Battle bitch. And so it's definitely like a term of endearment.
So on her birthday card, they're had a slice of
cake on the front and I said, don't eat this,
you fat bitch. It's paper, and then inside I signed it,
you know, Dave and AKA fat fuck so and it
was She's just a delight and she's very funny. And
(01:34):
I got to the party last night and there was
like a bunch of seven year old boys playing, well
two seven year old boys playing football in the front yard,
and so me, because I'm good with kids, I'm like,
give you that ball, give me that ball. So I'm like, okay,
go long, go along. So I throw them the ball.
Pretty soon we're playing football with me and the seven
year olds in the front yard. And I said, okay,
here's a pattern I'm going to teach you. Run a
button hook. Do you know what a button hook is?
Speaker 2 (01:55):
No?
Speaker 4 (01:55):
I do not.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
It's a simple basic football pattern that they don't even
use anymore, where the receiver runs out, turns around to
make a hook, and runs back toward the quarterback. Okay,
I said, okay, let's call the button hook. They're like
a butt hook. A butt hook. I said, no, it's
a button hook. They're like it's a butt hook. So
(02:16):
we played for probably, I don't know, fifteen twenty minutes
or so, and it was just fun. And then I
realized I don't want to be the person at a
party who is only hanging out with the dog or
the kids, So then I went in and hung out
with other people too.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
That makes sense you went to that party by yourself.
I'm assuming I think you didn't know like anyone going
into it besides probably Kelly.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Kelly and like one or two of her friends.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Okay, because I feel like I also was in a
situation like that last night, because I went to a
run club and I know of I kind of know
the people who started the run club. But then my
friend has kind of taken over the social media aspect
of it, so he's been like telling me to come whatever.
But as I'm rolling up, I don't see him anywhere,
and I was like, God, who do I talk to?
As I like again, you know? And I didn't realize
(03:00):
it because he had he has he's only forty, but
his hair is like all gray and he died it blonde.
So I didn't recognize him because where are you? So
I rolled in and luckily right away shout out, Fay
if she listens to this. She came up to me
and she listens to the show and she's like, Hi, Jenny,
I like love the show, and so her and I
became friends right away.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Gotcha.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
And then I ended up kind of just like running
by myself for the first like half mile, and then
I kind of was at a good pace with a
few people. So I ended up running with like three
other people the whole time and talking to them. And
then I did run into someone else who was doing
the run club later that I had met before. So
but it was one of those nerve wrecking situations where
you walk in and like, my friend knows everyone. He
(03:40):
goes to this run club every week. He's almost like
the leader of it to an extent, and I'm like,
he's not gonna have time to talk to me.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
He's gonna be entertaining.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Every else, Yeah, because we like sit around and have
drinks afterwards, which I didn't drink because I don't know,
I don't need a drink on a weeknight anymore. But
but yeah, I felt like a little bit of nerve
walking up when normally I'm like, decently confident, but when
you don't know like anyone and you don't know how
it works, you're like.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Acts right, And I didn't want to, Like I was
the same way. I didn't want to cling on Kelly
the whole time because she's got other people to entertain
and she was, you know, hosting whatever. So the thing
I've noticed about parties like that is people are very
welcoming to people who don't know anybody. Is like, you
know what if here comes somebody and there's kind of
standing by themselves and you might walk up to them,
or they might walk up to you, and then you know,
(04:28):
you will gracefully great not maybe not gracefully, but graciously
start or engage them in a conversation. Yeah, even if
it's like an awkward conversations like we and I didn't
have any awkward conversations. But one person is like, oh
I met Kelly in my band, Oh I was in
band in school. Yeah, I knew Kelly and band in school.
Oh what did you play? That type of thing? And
then we talked about like how we switched. She switched
(04:50):
from clarinet to base clarinet because there were too many
clarinets and it was too competitive for first chair. And
I said, I did the same thing. I played trumpet
and it was too competitive. I didn't practice and I sucked.
So I switched to baritone, which has nobody cares, has
the same fingerings. It's a treble cleft instrument, and at
least my version was. And so you talk about dumb
things like that, yeah, yeah you do.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
But whatever, you just find the common interest and you
figure something else so you're not just awkwardly standing in
the corner by yourself.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Yeah, And like I said, people are very welcoming to
you know, if they know people and you walk up
to a circle of people, they'll usually welcome you into
the circle, unless they're total dicks or a click or whatever.
So shout out Kelly, happy birthday, you big fat fuck.
Let's get into a rant from Juanita and see what
(05:38):
is in Juanita's mind. And here we go.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
Hey, y'all, So I'm watching the Monster episodes on Netflix,
the ed Geenes story, and his voice is so fucking irritating.
I can literally take him and lay him on top
of the Jill from you and roll them both over
with my that's how irritating they both were.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
True.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
Well, here's my rant for this week. So my husband
has always told me. He says he doesn't know why
I ride down the street with my windows down because
I don't smoke. But he said, if I'm warm, why
don't I just turn my air on? Well, see, I
don't like the ride with the air on. I like
to roll my windows down because I like the fresh air.
(06:23):
But he always tells me, but if something flies in
your truck, then is you're gonna have an accident, because
then you're gonna be all afraid. I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah, whatever.
So I should have listened to him. So I'm rolling
down Hanson Boulevard and I'm sitting at the light. Now
I've got both windows down. Now I'm sitting there, and
through the passenger window, I don't know what the fuck
(06:45):
that was, but it looked like an oversized grasshopper flew
in through the passenger window and landed under.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
My fucking dashboard.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
I immediately slapped my truck in the park and I
jumped out right in the middle of traffic because we
were sitting at the light. I jumped out and I
ran over to the media and I just stood there.
I think it was one of them ghetto bugs, because
it looked back at me like, bitch, get your.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Ass back in the truck, ghetto bug.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
But this guy came and he helped me, and he
was like, what's the problem, what's the problem. He literally
went in my truck because the bug was still sitting there.
He picked it up with his hand and he threw
it away. I'm like, ill, But yeah, I should not
have been riding around with my windows down because my
husband already warned me about that. Oh well, I should
have listened. Well, that's been my rent for this week.
(07:31):
I'll see you guys at Buo Bash. Talk to you later.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
I love you back. She's a circlet. We should have
her in Live sometime to be on a Minnesota Goodbye.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
I think we've talked her about it, but like with
her work schedule, I'm pretty sure she works like overnights
and so sometimes. But Wanita, you let us know because
we absolutely would have you in the studio sometimes. And
also I always drive with my windows down. I'm way
less of an acy person I have.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Yeah, yeah, I put my a Yeah. I never drive
with my windows down. The other day, we were driving
Carson somewhere, he was in town, and a moth flew
into the back seat or like you know, it was
on the ground and it started flying around. That kid
hates bugs. Ha ha oh god, oh god, ha ha
ha what And we're like, what what happened because we
(08:17):
didn't know if like he was you know, like like
somebody's pointing a gun at him or or or or what.
And we're like, is a bug? I'm like, Carson, God,
damn it. You can't react that way for a bug.
And he's like, oh, it's a bug. It was a moth.
And moths are you know, totally harmless. They're gross, Yeah
they are. But I think that I finally did the
(08:38):
same thing. We might have stopped or somehow we got
the moth out. It's like, Carson, it's a moth. Relaxed.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
I get into an extent because my mom is a landscaper,
and I remember being in like high school and driving
in her car and she had had a bunch of
buckets from working outside in the car with like tools
and stuff in them, and we're riding running errands and
all of a sudden, my younger sister starts flipping her
shit in the back seat. There was like an infestation
of spiders that had like basically gotten into all the
(09:08):
buckets of stuff.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
So then all of a sudden, they're crawling all over
in the car.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
And she's screaming, and I'm kind of like laughing, but
I'm also disgusted. And then she got mad at me
for laughing, and my mom's like, both of you, shut up.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
They're just spiders.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
But your mom is probably used to spiders.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
She does. Yeah, bugs all that, none of that bothers.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
I would not like to see a spider. I don't
think I would freak out. But at the same time,
I don't like spiders, moths, bugs, dragonflies. I don't really
care that much. Let's go back to ed Geen for
a minute. There are on instagram Susan. My wife was
showing me men who there was one guy, and I've
seen others that are like talking like ed Geen to
their wife or their partner, and their wife's like, stop it,
(09:50):
So I'm gonna do a little bit of ed geen
because here's the voice that he uses. So I just
really not doing it well. I just really want to
introduce you to my mother because I think she'll really
like you. And if you just come in Mother's upstairs
and I'll wake her up and she'll be delighted to
(10:11):
meet you. And Jannita is absolutely right because the first
couple of episodes you're like, like, wow, that's a really
interesting voice. He must have been soft spoken, but by
the end of it, it's like fuck and stop. Yeah,
And the same thing with Joe on You and you
remember how he talked. You watched you, right, I did.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
I fell off the very last season. I couldn't. I
didn't watch it.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
I'm glad that it ended the way it did. There
will never be another view. And I can't remember exactly
how he talked, but at the end of it, it
was just him being introspective inside of his brain and
was like, fucking Joe. Because there was part of Joe
that you liked a little bit.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
Yeah, like he kind of was a hero in certain situations, Yeah,
because he helped like some young girl who was being
harassed by someone who was older or something, and.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
He usually ends up killing them.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Yeah, he kills them. So yeah, obviously it's pretty fucked up.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
But like there's part of you that's like, I don't know,
but like he did a nice thing there, so like
do we hate.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Him that much?
Speaker 1 (11:10):
I ended up hated him because at the end he
would justify just the worst thing. So I mean, he
would kill somebody and he'd be like, well I had
to because they couldn't exist in the same world as me.
And it was like, Joe, shut the fuck up. Yeah,
So other irritating characters. When I was a kid and
I watched Gilligan's Island, I was look at it intellectually
(11:30):
because I was like a different kind of a thinking kid.
So Gilligan, you know the premise, they're on the island,
they can't get off, but every time they're about to
get off, Gilligan focks it up. And so, for example,
there's one where they send Gilligan out to get wood
because you know, they need firewood, and so the professor
fixes the radio. Oh my gosh, now the radio is working. Hey,
(11:52):
and they contact somebody like the coast Guard. It's like, yeah,
this is the ss MENO we're stranded on an island
and blah blah blah blah blah. And the coast Guard
is like, great, we're gonna send somebody to meet you.
We just need the coordinates of your island. And they're
about to say it. Gilligan comes in with the load
of firewood in his arms. Where should I put this?
Gilligan stop? Where should I put? Where should I put
the wood skipper? I don't care. Gilligan, just put it anywhere.
(12:15):
So Gilligan drops the firewood on the radio, and so
now they can't get rescued.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
And I'm like, so Gilligan's who you hated.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
I hated Gilligan my even as a kid. I was like,
they need to kill Gilligan because he fucks up every
time they're about to get rescued. And I didn't. I mean,
I got that it was a comedy, but when you're seven,
at least when I was seven, I looked at it
more like, practically, yeah, kill Gilligan, get him out of
the fucking waist and get off the island. What character
(12:47):
comes to mind was irritating for you?
Speaker 2 (12:49):
So Gossip Girl.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
There was a character named Jenny in it, and ah,
she she was like this sweet younger girl and then
she starts to like be rebellious, and in those moments
it probably was like an extent of who I was
in high school. But I'd get so mad at her
because she was like ruining opportunities of like where she was,
Like I think things that could have happened for her
to like get into good schools and stuff, because she
(13:12):
was just like drinking or doing whatever, And I'd get
so mad and want to shake her and be like
be a better person, like don't fuck up your life,
even though like I'm pretty sure I was in high
school when I watched it, and she was doing things
similar to what I was doing. Okay, so I think
it kind of her character for a bit, not like
the entire eight seasons, but there was a good portion
(13:35):
where I couldn't stand her.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
I'm going to bring up I just googled annoying TV
characters and there's number one is Ross from Friends. Okay, Yeah,
I always thought I never understood why such a I
don't know what the word that I'm going to come
with with such a whimp like Ross, how he would
have ever been friends with like, you know, funny people
(13:58):
and like you know, like dumb jock, people like Joey.
He wouldn't have been friends with Joey and Ross was
just annoying.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Wasn't it? Because they were all just like neighbors And.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
It's a fictional show.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
Say, I became really good friends with my neighbors in Uptown,
and I don't think like on any other given day,
I probably would have become friends with them, just like
out in the Wild.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Okay, a couple of other ones here. I'm going to
name shows that I've actually heard of. Jeoffrey from Game
of Thrones.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
Oh, he's like one of the most evil characters come across.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Yeah, okay, Kimmy Gibbler from Full House. Oh yeah, Dwight Shrewd. Now,
Dwight was annoying for sure, but that was he was
a necessary character because he was such an annoying, weird jerk.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
I thought he was one of the favorites. I'm not
as big of an office fan as no people.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Love Dwight, but he was, you know, but he was
necessary to the show because he would suck up to
Michael Scott and then he also would fight with Jim,
and Jim put his stapler in jello one time, and
Dwight had no sense of humor, and he took everything
way too seriously. Other ones, let's see Will from Glee,
(15:09):
Carrie from Sex and the City. I didn't find her annoying.
I found Samantha annoying.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Oh, I love Samantha.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
Did like Samantha.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
She was my favorite. She's what I wanted to be when.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
I grew up. Now that's not a good goal for you,
I care.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
I should be more specific. I wanted her job.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
I saw public relations as this glamorous job that Samantha
from Sex and the City did, and so I went
into PR thinking I was going to be like a Samantha,
But like, that's not what PR is.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
For the most part, the reason.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
I didn't like Samantha was because, you know, and I
know I wasn't their target demo. But I did watch
quite a lot of Sex in the City and she
was always like, well, I met a boy last night,
and I will tell you this boy was quite well
in down and I'm like, nobody talks like that, and
none of the people in your friend group would like
you if you talk like that. Yeah, Okay. A couple
(16:01):
of other quick ones Laurie from The Walking Dead, Ted
from How I Met your Mother, Piper from Orange Is
the New Black, Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory, Izzy
from Grey's Anatomy, and there's a bunch more if you
want to google it. I just googled annoying TV characters,
(16:23):
so and that is really going to do it. We
were short on emails today, so we kind of had
to find some other things to talk about, and I
think we did good. Hope you enjoyed it. Minnesota Goodbye
is here every day Monday through Friday, and it's based
mostly on your email. So clearly we are in need
of emails. And if you have anything you want to
bring up, maybe annoying TV characters or maybe annoying people
(16:46):
on the Dave Ryan Show. Who would that be? Let
us know. I don't know. Send me an email to
ryanshow at katiewb dot com and we'll see you next
Monday
