Speaker 1 (00:00):
I want to start off with the Minnesota goodbye with
something that I noticed that we all know is true,
but I saw my own evidence last night, so I was,
here's the thing we have to post. I don't go
on X normally I don't, but we have to post
a promo for the show every day on X and
on Facebook and on Instagram. So I'm on X last
(00:21):
night and Taylor Swift is at the top of my feed.
And it was really interesting because it was like, Taylor
Swift is a phony, Taylor Swift is a bad person,
Taylor Swift is not talented, Taylor Swift is washed up.
Taylor Swift negative negative negative negative. And I'm scrolling through this,
and I think this is an important thing to really
think about. If you are only on that platform reading that,
(00:45):
you would think that everybody in the world hates Taylor
Swift because you are hearing from people who are getting
in their algorithm things that they like or dislike or whatever.
So if you are on any kind of a discussion
group or whatever and it's only people of your opinion,
you really believe that everybody in the world, Oh, they
(01:08):
also think the.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Way I do.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
M M.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
But if you looked around. You'd find people who love
Taylor Swift, people who don't mind Taylor Swift. And I
think that's an important thing to do, is because we
will sit there and read and think that everybody in
the world has our same opinion about whatever it is,
whether it's political, whether it's entertainment, whether it's arts, whether
(01:32):
it's science, whatever. And I think that again, we know this,
but I think that it can be a little bit dangerous,
and I closed it up, but I didn't keep reading
because it was like, yeah, Taylor Swift is evil.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
It's the echo chamber thing.
Speaker 5 (01:46):
So I always try and like read the comments on
posts two because I feel like the comments has more
of a variety of people in it. So it's not
just reading the posts, because then the algorithm's going to
track like, oh, you agree with this, here's a post,
here's a post, here's a post. And then usually the
comments like because I've gotten a lot of like Taylor
Swift stuff in my like TikTok algorithm. But then you
(02:08):
read the comments and you have tons of people who
are like defending defending her, yeah, or saying you know,
on both sides, like saying good things, bad things, whatever
about her.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
So I always read comments.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
If I was new to the planet and I didn't
know how everything worked, and I opened up the X
last night, I'd be like, oh, well, the whole world
hates Taylor Swift. So I think it's just a good
reminder of something we already know that if you are
reading comments of like minded people, you're going to think
that that is absolutely the right and only opinion. One
other thing about Taylor Swift. Somebody did have a good point.
They said, how can she be normal being the most
(02:41):
famous person? It is crippling fame. And I thought that
was a really interesting term, crippling fame because she is
so famous. How could it not affect her mentally, not
necessarily mental health wise, like it make her depressed or
anxious or what ever. I mean, who knows, Maybe it could.
(03:01):
But when you're that famous, I mean, we have a
little teeny tiny dose of fame when we walk into
cub and somebody's like, Bailey, you know, it's a little
teeny tiny, but it's not by any means. It's it's
fun and interesting. But imagine that you really can't do
anything without somebody noticing you. Yeah, well, well, not even criticism, adoration, yeah.
(03:27):
I mean, let's say she wanted to go to the
grand open attention. Let's say she loves Disney and wants
to go to the grand opening of like a new
attraction at Disney. Well, she really can't go. I mean,
how awful would that be. Let's say she wants to
go to Orange Julius. She can't go to Orange Julius.
She has to send somebody to Orange Julius. Crippling fame.
How could that not fuck with your head? They say,
(03:50):
that's what happened to Elvis. He became a prisoner of
his own fame because he couldn't go anywhere, couldn't do anything,
couldn't go down, couldn't go down to the local Honda
dealership and buy a new Honda.
Speaker 6 (04:02):
No, I would pass on that experience, And I.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Think that's one thing that we stressful.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Well, okay, but I think that's you know, Let's say
maybe he wanted to go to Orange Julius. Elvis couldn't,
and so that's why Elvis went a little bit crazy.
They say the Beatles didn't go as crazy because they
had three other people that knew exactly what they were
going through. Three other people in the world that were
just as famous and visible as they were, so they
(04:28):
never went crazy. Michael Jackson went crazy. Why did Michael
Jackson go crazy? Because he was probably the most famous
human in the world at one time. How could that
not make you go whacky cuckoo?
Speaker 3 (04:43):
How old were all of those people like Elvis and
Michael Jackson and stuff? When you think it started affecting
him in a negative.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Way, Michael Jackson was normal up until about the Thriller
album because you look at the cover of the Thriller album,
He's a handsome young man. And then by the end
of the eighties he was almost unrecognizable with the plastic
surgery and all the different things. So I would say,
how old was he? Yeah, thirty ish, thirty.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Five ish, Because I feel like that's why I like
to argue in even though I'm not a huge swifty
I love Taylor. I do like Taylor Swift, but I'm
not a swiftye. I don't think by definition, but I
feel like she has remained one of the most grounded
famous people you've ever met. In turns like, sure, does
she make a ton of money and do a million
things to make more money and stuff? Yeah, that's maybe
(05:25):
not being grounded, but in terms of like I get that, yeah,
having the fame like ruin her or like make her
be I don't know. I mean it's not that she's relatable,
but she also isn't like walking around like a Kardashian either,
Like I don't know, I just feel like totally get
that sort of normal for the amount of fame she has.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
When I heard her on the podcast the Travis Brothers
whatever Kelsey Brothers podcast, she was like charming, friendly, smart, funny.
But you look at somebody like Madonna, and I'm just
trying to not trying to pick somebody from old, from
the past, but somebody who was absolutely affected in an
negative way by their massive, massive, crippling thame.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Madonna.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
We all know she's kind of a weirdo. Mariah Carey
kind of a weirdo. Then justin Timberlake seemed to turn
out pretty okay.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
Yeah, but not recently.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Yeah, true, Oprah still seems. I don't pay much attention
to Oprah lately. Her show hasn't been on the TV
on TV in ten or fifteen years. But Oprah always
seemed like somebody you can go to like waffle house
with and like hang out with and have some eggs
and chat about the world.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
You know.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
So I don't know, and I could be wrong. Oprah
could be the biggest diva.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Of all time.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
I think I've heard there was like one movie she
was like producer on or something recently that not recently,
but in the last few years that I had heard that.
There was like some drama because people didn't really like
Oprah and it was like pretty big actresses I were
in the movie. But that's the only time I think
I've ever heard anything bad about her.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
Justin Bieber, he was in our studio one time, sitting
right where Jenny is with his cute little ball cut
hair ball haircut, and he was charming his polite, respectful,
modest and now crippling fame. I mean, the kid can't
even We've all seen the video of the girls that
are waiting outside his house. And he walks up and
(07:19):
somebody's recording this and he's like, man, and they're like.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Hi, hi, Hi, can I can I I have a hug?
Can I have a hug?
Speaker 5 (07:26):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (07:26):
My God?
Speaker 1 (07:27):
And he's like, look, this is my home. This is
not for you to come to my home. This is
where I go. This is where I live and they're listening,
but they're not hearing, and and and so he finished,
He's like, Okay, can you stay away? And the girl goes,
can I have a hug? And was like, fuck, leave
me alone, Leave me alone. And I think that's affected
justin Bieber mentally too. All Right, we've covered that subject.
(07:51):
Let's move on. This is from here we go. Kristen
writes in once in a while with a random question.
He calls herself random question. Kristen, here, we appreciate these.
I like this, When are you going to be sponsored
by a company? Who would you choose for me? I
play hockey, I'm a goalie. I would definitely want to
be sponsored by my favorite goalie company, Brian's. I don't
(08:14):
even know what a goalie company is. Maybe all the
goalie gear and the mask and things like that. They
are such good quality. Thanks guys, all right. Didn't take
me long to say Buffalo Wild Wings would be my
sponsor because I love Buffalo wild Wings and I would
love to be the face of Buffalo wild Wings. They
wouldn't hire me because I'm not attractive, but I do
love me some Buffalo wild Wings.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
They'd want like regular people in their ads, do they Yeah, Okay,
you could get hired by them.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Okay, Bailey, who would you want to sponsor you? Oh?
Speaker 4 (08:42):
Gosh, I gosh.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
If you don't have it yet, Jenny, do you have
anything yet?
Speaker 5 (08:47):
Yes?
Speaker 6 (08:47):
I do.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
I would go Lululemon because I love their workout apparel. However,
it is great quality, it's just too expensive, so like
I just can't really afford it. But there is something
to be said when you have like nice new workout clothes.
It makes working out that much more enjoyable, which sounds stupid,
but it really does.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
No, I get that.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Yeah, it's like you can inspire yourself to work out
by buying some workout clothing.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
And mine would probably be close too.
Speaker 5 (09:12):
I get a lot of my clothes from a website
called Unique Vintage, and that'd be cool to be like
the like you open up their website, it's like me
in like a really cute dress. That would be kind
of fun that or you know any of those meal
prep services where they send you food in a box
and then I'd never have to cook.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Hello Fresh is that one?
Speaker 4 (09:31):
Something like that?
Speaker 5 (09:32):
Well, you have to cook it, but I don't have
to like figure out like portions and go out and
get the ingredients and it's all just sitting there and
just does it essentially for me.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Okay, that'd be great, very nice. Came moving on to
the next one. This is remember last week we were
talking about it was one of the Jewish holidays and
I can't remember Kapur, and so we were talking about
how little we knew about the Jewish faith. But I
think I got a couple of things right. But I said,
I don't think that Jewish people believe in the afterlife. Well,
Tracy writes in she says, hi, friends, you're Jewish listener
(10:03):
here again, Dave, to answer your question about the afterlife. Yes,
Jews do believe in the afterlife. We believe in heaven.
The differences. Jews don't believe in hell, but rather a
period of purgatory that can last up to a year
based on the life that you live. So basically, the
more you sin, the longer you stay. Your loved ones,
mainly your children, can do acts of good during that
(10:23):
year following your death and your honor to help you
get to heaven faster. But eventually we all get to heaven.
It's all very fascinating, Bailey. Unfortunately, you would not be
able to go to a synagogue as a fly on
the wall without being talked to for two reasons. One,
based on today's current political climate, most places of worship
have increased their security, which is just sad.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Two.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
Jewish people love to chat, and if you're new, they're
gonna want you to feel welcomed. A huge part of
Judaism is welcoming in the stranger and treating them as
a neighbor or loved one. Fascinating.
Speaker 4 (10:55):
I love that though too.
Speaker 5 (10:56):
I just want to be able to look at it
from the outside and then I could come back and
be talked to. But I don't know. I just want
somebody to show up with me and hold my hand
and be like Okay, we're gonna sit here, and I'd
be like, okay, sounds good.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
She says.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
This brings me to an idea. I'm by no means
a rabbi or expert. I think it might be cool
to take a week where each day you have on
the regular show a different religions clergy. In today's world
of hate and lack of understanding for each other, I
think taking a moment to use the space to educate
others about our differences will actually help people find more
commonalities than we all realize. Anyway, thanks for letting me
(11:33):
help educate. Thank you, Tracy. I'm going to tell you
what is a good idea but would not be received
well because in today's climate, there are people who hate Christians,
there are people who don't like other religions. There are
people who would disparage any religion we had on and
then they would accuse us of trying to be persuasive
(11:55):
or preach or whatever, and that's just not really our thing.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
You know.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
I think I would love to hear from different faiths
and like, Okay, well why do Catholics believe this? And
tell me what your principal tenants are of Christianity or
whatever or you know, whatever Islam or whatever. But I
but I just know that it wouldn't go over well.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Yeah, and we also would like miss a million religions
if we only did like a week. There's so there
are a lot of different religions out there, so then
it looked like we were picking and choosing our favorites
or something.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
You guys missed out on this one.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Yeah, So no, it's a really interesting idea, Tracy. If
we anything else you want to add, please let us know.
Let's see if this is okay. I haven't pre read
this one, and we don't have a lot of time,
so I'm going to probably kind of skip through that
one and go up to here to this one. Hey, gang,
(12:54):
why is it on Mondays the traffic is way better
than other days, especially after work traffic. I've noticed this
was thinking maybe because a lot of people have the Mondays,
have the case of the Mondays and call out sick.
I don't drive in rush hour unless I can, unless
I absolutely have to. Yeah, we come in at five
(13:14):
five thirty, we leave at noon twelve thirty. There's no
rush hour when I have to drive. Like later today,
I have to drive the RV up to Fridley from Shakapy.
That is about as far as you can drive and
still be in the Twin Cities the entire time. Yeah,
I'm going to be driving during rush hour. I'm gonna
(13:35):
fucking hate it because I don't I'm not used to
rush hour.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Yes, I think that the reason is because most people
work from home on Mondays and Fridays if they are
given the option.
Speaker 6 (13:44):
Oh so, I think that that is why.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
I also notice that if I ever have to drive
on a Monday or a Friday. Those are definitely the
highest days that people are not going into an office.
Speaker 5 (13:54):
Yeah, and I so when I work at the high
school that I coach at, I our meetings are at
like three fifteen, So driving there easyps Driving home absolute trash.
It takes me like forty minutes to get home when
it normally would take me like twenty twenty five.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
And I hate it so much.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Agot.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Our boss Rich used to live in Seattle for a
short time, and I've been to Seattle like a tourist.
I've been to the port on the cruise and then
we went to the Space Needle and then we went
to the fish market or whatever that you go. But
he said rush hour in Seattle was so bad. That's
one of the reasons he didn't like living there really, Yeah,
because he I can't remember exactly, but he had like
(14:33):
maybe a mile from his office to get onto the
interstate to drive home. Wow, And he said it would
take sometimes an hour to go a mile one.
Speaker 6 (14:42):
Mile limited roads in and out of the city. That's why.
That's why it's like.
Speaker 4 (14:47):
Part close to the highway and walk that mile.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
That's what I would do they've been in rush hour
and think I could walk faster than this, truly, and
that is going to do it for the Minnesota Goodbye,
love to hear anything that comes to your mind, model
yourself after random Chris Chris, random question, Kristen, and come
up with an anything that you might be curious about,
serious not serious. You want to fill us in on
(15:11):
anything that we missed about Judaism or Mormonism or anything
like that. You know what, maybe this is the venue
to do it. Maybe on the Minnesota Goodbye where we're
able to talk about things that you know, like don't
piss people off. Yeah, because you kind of know what
you're getting into. Ryan Show at KTWB dot com
I want to start off with the Minnesota goodbye with
something that I noticed that we all know is true,
but I saw my own evidence last night, so I was,
here's the thing we have to post. I don't go

He calls herself random question. Kristen, here, we appreciate these.
I like this, When are you going to be sponsored
by a company? Who would you choose for me? I
play hockey, I'm a goalie. I would definitely want to
be sponsored by my favorite goalie company, Brian's. I don't
(08:14):
even know what a goalie company is. Maybe all the
goalie gear and the mask and things like that. They
are such good quality. Thanks guys, all right. Didn't take
me long to say Buffalo Wild Wings would be my
sponsor because I love Buffalo wild Wings and I would
love to be the face of Buffalo wild Wings. They
wouldn't hire me because I'm not attractive, but I do
love me some Buffalo wild Wings.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
They'd want like regular people in their ads, do they Yeah, Okay,
you could get hired by them.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Okay, Bailey, who would you want to sponsor you? Oh?
Speaker 4 (08:42):
Gosh, I gosh.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
If you don't have it yet, Jenny, do you have
anything yet?
Speaker 5 (08:47):
Yes?
Speaker 6 (08:47):
I do.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
I would go Lululemon because I love their workout apparel. However,
it is great quality, it's just too expensive, so like
I just can't really afford it. But there is something
to be said when you have like nice new workout clothes.
It makes working out that much more enjoyable, which sounds stupid,
but it really does.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
No, I get that.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Yeah, it's like you can inspire yourself to work out
by buying some workout clothing.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
And mine would probably be close too.
Speaker 5 (09:12):
I get a lot of my clothes from a website
called Unique Vintage, and that'd be cool to be like
the like you open up their website, it's like me
in like a really cute dress. That would be kind
of fun that or you know any of those meal
prep services where they send you food in a box
and then I'd never have to cook.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Hello Fresh is that one?
Speaker 4 (09:31):
Something like that?
Speaker 5 (09:32):
Well, you have to cook it, but I don't have
to like figure out like portions and go out and
get the ingredients and it's all just sitting there and
just does it essentially for me.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Okay, that'd be great, very nice. Came moving on to
the next one. This is remember last week we were
talking about it was one of the Jewish holidays and
I can't remember Kapur, and so we were talking about
how little we knew about the Jewish faith. But I
think I got a couple of things right. But I said,
I don't think that Jewish people believe in the afterlife. Well,
Tracy writes in she says, hi, friends, you're Jewish listener
(10:03):
here again, Dave, to answer your question about the afterlife. Yes,
Jews do believe in the afterlife. We believe in heaven.
The differences. Jews don't believe in hell, but rather a
period of purgatory that can last up to a year
based on the life that you live. So basically, the
more you sin, the longer you stay. Your loved ones,
mainly your children, can do acts of good during that
(10:23):
year following your death and your honor to help you
get to heaven faster. But eventually we all get to heaven.
It's all very fascinating, Bailey. Unfortunately, you would not be
able to go to a synagogue as a fly on
the wall without being talked to for two reasons. One,
based on today's current political climate, most places of worship
have increased their security, which is just sad.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Two.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
Jewish people love to chat, and if you're new, they're
gonna want you to feel welcomed. A huge part of
Judaism is welcoming in the stranger and treating them as
a neighbor or loved one. Fascinating.
Speaker 4 (10:55):
I love that though too.
Speaker 5 (10:56):
I just want to be able to look at it
from the outside and then I could come back and
be talked to. But I don't know. I just want
somebody to show up with me and hold my hand
and be like Okay, we're gonna sit here, and I'd
be like, okay, sounds good.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
She says.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
This brings me to an idea. I'm by no means
a rabbi or expert. I think it might be cool
to take a week where each day you have on
the regular show a different religions clergy. In today's world
of hate and lack of understanding for each other, I
think taking a moment to use the space to educate
others about our differences will actually help people find more
commonalities than we all realize. Anyway, thanks for letting me
(11:33):
help educate. Thank you, Tracy. I'm going to tell you
what is a good idea but would not be received
well because in today's climate, there are people who hate Christians,
there are people who don't like other religions. There are
people who would disparage any religion we had on and
then they would accuse us of trying to be persuasive
(11:55):
or preach or whatever, and that's just not really our thing.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
You know.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
I think I would love to hear from different faiths
and like, Okay, well why do Catholics believe this? And
tell me what your principal tenants are of Christianity or
whatever or you know, whatever Islam or whatever. But I
but I just know that it wouldn't go over well.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Yeah, and we also would like miss a million religions
if we only did like a week. There's so there
are a lot of different religions out there, so then
it looked like we were picking and choosing our favorites
or something.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
You guys missed out on this one.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Yeah, So no, it's a really interesting idea, Tracy. If
we anything else you want to add, please let us know.
Let's see if this is okay. I haven't pre read
this one, and we don't have a lot of time,
so I'm going to probably kind of skip through that
one and go up to here to this one. Hey, gang,
(12:54):
why is it on Mondays the traffic is way better
than other days, especially after work traffic. I've noticed this
was thinking maybe because a lot of people have the Mondays,
have the case of the Mondays and call out sick.
I don't drive in rush hour unless I can, unless
I absolutely have to. Yeah, we come in at five
(13:14):
five thirty, we leave at noon twelve thirty. There's no
rush hour when I have to drive. Like later today,
I have to drive the RV up to Fridley from Shakapy.
That is about as far as you can drive and
still be in the Twin Cities the entire time. Yeah,
I'm going to be driving during rush hour. I'm gonna
(13:35):
fucking hate it because I don't I'm not used to
rush hour.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Yes, I think that the reason is because most people
work from home on Mondays and Fridays if they are
given the option.
Speaker 6 (13:44):
Oh so, I think that that is why.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
I also notice that if I ever have to drive
on a Monday or a Friday. Those are definitely the
highest days that people are not going into an office.
Speaker 5 (13:54):
Yeah, and I so when I work at the high
school that I coach at, I our meetings are at
like three fifteen, So driving there easyps Driving home absolute trash.
It takes me like forty minutes to get home when
it normally would take me like twenty twenty five.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
And I hate it so much.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Agot.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Our boss Rich used to live in Seattle for a
short time, and I've been to Seattle like a tourist.
I've been to the port on the cruise and then
we went to the Space Needle and then we went
to the fish market or whatever that you go. But
he said rush hour in Seattle was so bad. That's
one of the reasons he didn't like living there really, Yeah,
because he I can't remember exactly, but he had like
(14:33):
maybe a mile from his office to get onto the
interstate to drive home. Wow, And he said it would
take sometimes an hour to go a mile one.
Speaker 6 (14:42):
Mile limited roads in and out of the city. That's why.
That's why it's like.
Speaker 4 (14:47):
Part close to the highway and walk that mile.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
That's what I would do they've been in rush hour
and think I could walk faster than this, truly, and
that is going to do it for the Minnesota Goodbye,
love to hear anything that comes to your mind, model
yourself after random Chris Chris, random question, Kristen, and come
up with an anything that you might be curious about,
serious not serious. You want to fill us in on
(15:11):
anything that we missed about Judaism or Mormonism or anything
like that. You know what, maybe this is the venue
to do it. Maybe on the Minnesota Goodbye where we're
able to talk about things that you know, like don't
piss people off. Yeah, because you kind of know what
you're getting into. Ryan Show at KTWB dot com
