Speaker 1 (00:00):
So one of the things that follows that comes up
in my algorithm on Facebook, mostly Facebook, is anything with
the moon and the moon landings, because I just find
that fascinating. And then every time there's somebody about the
moon landings, there's somebody who's like, yeah, we never went
to the moon. It was all fake. It was filmed
on a sound stage. We never got to the moon.
So I always comment with, here come the chronic masturbaters,
(00:24):
bald and pudgy guys that are living in mom's basement,
putting down the Cheetos for a few seconds so they
can tell us how the moon landing was fake. Because
that's one of the things that really bugs me, is
that the moon landing was not fake. But there are
people who really want to show you how smart they were,
even though they probably graduated from fifth grade, but they
want to tell you how smart they were that the
(00:45):
moon landing never took place. So not really getting to
get into that. Is there anything on social media that
you see that annoys you? I mean, I hope there is,
because that's what social media is so good at, is
annoying us and also pleasing us at the same time. Well,
I mean it does there's certain things on social media
that annoy us. Is there anything that annoys you on
(01:05):
social media?
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Honestly know?
Speaker 3 (01:06):
Because I think I've curated my algorithm to really be
what I care about seeing. It's all about like hiking
and outdoor stuff and traveling, or like funny dog memes
or something like that. I really don't think my algorithm
feeds me anything I don't want to see.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Well, see, I think that my thing is that I
want to see the moon stuff, but I don't want
to see the annoying conspiracy theorists. Yeah, so anything with you, baiby.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
I mean I talked about it earlier on the show
today that the only thing is when super like gorgeous
influencers are wearing like either skimpy underwear or little bikinis
and they put their like thumbs through the sides and
then pull it up a little bit and then push
it down and pull it up and push it down, like,
oh look, I'm adjusting my bikini.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
What does that do?
Speaker 5 (01:52):
What is just it brings your eyeballs to their crotch.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
That's Is that what it's meant to do?
Speaker 4 (01:56):
I don't know, but okay, Jenny said it was like
the ducklips.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
Of it is if you're going to be in a bikini,
it's kind of like something to pose your body in
a certain way. And like I mean, most of these
girls are already super gorgeous. They don't need to like
angle their body in a way to make it look better.
But that's kind of what it helped do to an extent.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Yeah, Okay, can I go back for a second. I'm
kind of all over the place. The reason I brought
up the moon landing is I got a press release
from the State Fair. There is going to be an
Apollo fifteen moon rock at the Minnesota State Fair this
year at the big NASA exhibit. So that's kind of cool.
It was brought back in August first of nineteen seventy
one from the Moon.
Speaker 5 (02:36):
Where's the NASA exhibit?
Speaker 1 (02:39):
We will be at the North End Events Center, Murphy
north of Murphy Avenue at the north end of the
fairgrounds for just a few days Thursday through Sunday of
this week. We would love to come by to talk,
love to come talk to you, or have you stop
by our exhibit when we're in town. So they got
some cool stuff.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
Okay, Well, it's North End event center. I don't even
know if I've heard of it. It must be like
only open. Oh it's by the hangar. It is way
on the north side.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Oh, I know where the hangar is. Yeah, it's kind
of like an airplane themed bar, right.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
Yeah, so it's like across from the pet pavilion by
the hangar. But I've never I didn't even know that
was a thing. I mean, it must be empty most
of the time, Okay.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Cool.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
One of the things that annoys me and you guys
got to be annoyed by this fake videos of like
somebody staging a fight on an airplane and you can
tell that it's all like their friends and they rented
an airplane cabin set or somebody who does something and
it's just fake. And I always comment, because you know,
I'm a troll that way, always comment fake. Do you
(03:43):
guys ever see the fake videos online? Like somebody who Okay,
there was one. There was one a few years ago,
and it was a guy who pulls up in a
maserati and he goes up to a girl and he's like, hey,
do you want to go for a ride, and she's like,
oh my god, yeah, you're so cute. And it was
like just so fake with bad acting. Nobody else notices they.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Don't have that algorithm, Dave. I think they haven't curated
to what we like.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
The only thing that I see that I know is
fake but it doesn't necessarily bother me, is that this guy.
Speaker 5 (04:14):
In like New York.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
He walks up to strangers and he says, hey, what
do you do for a living, And then they tell them,
and then he says, cool, where do you live? How
much do you pay in rent or whatever? And they're like, oh,
I live right around the corner. Hey, can I check
it out? Yeah, for sure, you can come on check
it out. And so clearly he asks these people in advance,
like hey, I'm going to come up to you, or
(04:35):
they're his friends or something or other.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Well, a lot of times it's like very famous, very
wealthy people in New York, so you like to get
it or something. But he also does things where literally
the people live in a shoe box.
Speaker 5 (04:46):
Yeah, but then they show it off.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Yeah, And it's honestly I love that guy. Yeah, I
think it's Yes, it's very stage.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
I'm at the beginning.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
It wasn't when he's becoming big, but now that he's big,
he's able to reach out to people who are like
willing to show their places off, and.
Speaker 5 (05:00):
Those are so those are staged. I don't necessarily think
they're like fake.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Okay, that makes sense, Yeah, but.
Speaker 5 (05:06):
Like fake stuff, I mean on TikTok.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
Right now, what's really big is having animals like AI animals.
It's from like a camera viewpoint from like a nighttime
camera of a trampoline in a backyard, and all of
these animals are jumping on the trampoline.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
No funny.
Speaker 5 (05:20):
So they'll be like, oh, here are all.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
These bunnies who are jumping on this trampoline, or here's
a bear.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
But it's clearly fake. Well it's meant to be entertaining.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
Yeah, well I think it's clearly AI, but people believe it,
and so now it's now it's kind of turned into
a bit. Well, they'll have like a trampoline is jumping
on a trampoline. Okay, car comes up to jump on
the trampoline. So they're like, look, it's so clearly fake.
But when it was just like the bunnies and the bear,
people thought it was real.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
All right, let me run more one more by you, Okay.
It'll say something like the it'll be Facebook and it'll
say something like we Love Friends the TV show and
it'll show a picture of Monica, but the caption will
say Jennifer and as Rachel.
Speaker 5 (06:01):
No, that's rage bait.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
That's kind of what it's like, rage bait. But it
also makes you engage because you feel like that's not
that's not Rachel, that's Monica, and you feel like you
must engage it. So this morning, I'm sitting there and
having my coffee, I'm playing wordle and I take a
little break, and there was one and it was from
an old TV show from the seventies, and they had
the wrong character names, and they said, don't respond to this.
(06:25):
They're just trying to get you to respond because the
more engagement they get, the more money they make. Yeah,
I'm like, oh, that totally makes sense. They're not just
trying to be trolls. They're trying to get you to engage.
Therefore they can get more monetary whatever from their Facebook.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
Like a weird way to make money to me, But
I'm a different kind of person. But every time you
comment with fake you're just giving them money.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Am I really?
Speaker 5 (06:48):
Yes, buddy, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Well thanks good to know. Oh, all right, thank you
for the moon Rock email. Next one, I wonder if
you can help me. Let's see what they say here.
Last year, you may have noticed I did not come
to the booth and do my famous Drake impression. Now
this is from a woman named Mary Anne, and she
has come by the booth. I think the first year
Drake was on the show. She came by and she's like, Hi,
(07:12):
my name is Drake, and she's so funny. Here's why
I didn't come by. Is at the fair with my kids,
nephew and his wife, all grown ups in their twenties
and thirties, were at the grand stand going upstairs at
the second level. Some of my family is already way
up in the second flight, and I'm on the landing
with my son and daughter. We're getting ready to go up.
A man fell down the stairs, hitting his head on
(07:35):
the way down, and landed about a foot away from
where we were standing. He did not move. I said,
oh my god, this is bad, and I called nine
one one right away. I was told to stay there
until the EMTs got there so they could locate us.
By the time they got there, the guy had opened
his eyes, but he still wasn't moving. The scene was chaotic,
and I felt so horrible for the family. We stayed
(07:57):
for a little while longer, but we were all so
shook we just left the fair. My family and I
have talked about this a million times since it happened,
and we all have thought about that man and his family.
Someone out there knows this man, or knows the family
or something. Please let us know how he is.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Yeah, we should maybe read that on the show. I'm
going to forward that to you, Jenny, because you know,
the viewership or the listenership on the show is bigger
than the Minnesota Goodbye. So I'm going to forward this
over to Jenny and we can read this tomorrow. Yeah.
But if yeah, I mean, if you know anything about that,
maybe you were like an EMT or you were there.
You're the guy himself or his kid, Lann, let us know.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
I hope he's okay.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
My hope so too. What a disturbing thing to see
that rattled them to the point that they had to
leave the fair.
Speaker 5 (08:43):
I've witnessed.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
I mean, I wasn't not the fair, but I was
definitely like walking to a class once with a friend
and we watched a guy like come out of an
apartment building that was like a walk up like on
a kind of porch sort of thing, and he like
took one step off the porch and then fell down
like the rest of the like five concrete stairs, and
we had to call nine one one and wait with
him too.
Speaker 5 (09:04):
It was so awkward. It's kind of the same exact situation,
but then we felt so weird.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
Like leaving, we were just like, Okay, well, the EMTs
are here, do.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
You know this man?
Speaker 4 (09:13):
We're like no. We were literally just walking by as
he walked out of this house and he fell down
the stairs. Yeah, and he was he was bleeding. He
was like delirious. It was so weird.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
That's disturbing. Yeah, it's terrifying if you saw. I bet
there's somebody who listens to the Minnesota Goodbye who witnessed
a serous traffic accident right in front of them.
Speaker 5 (09:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
I was over by what's right across from the Excel
it's near the Excel Energy Center. It's it's a restaurant,
and a car came through the intersection and hit another
car head on, flipped up on its side, and skidded
down the street. And I was so shocked that I
did not know what to do. Now you would think that,
oh my god, you're a former boy scout and you're
(09:58):
a good person, so you're gonna run over there and
you're going to help out. And no, that's not what
I did at all. I stood there waiting for somebody
else to run over and help out.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Really I did it froze. I kind of froze response it.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Was, And I think back on it now, it's like,
why didn't I run over? Because I remember, maybe twenty
five years ago or so, we were in chan Hassen
and we heard a er long tire screech, followed by
a boom but boom but boom boom boom boom boom,
and it kept going and it was a car that
(10:36):
had like run off the road. The guy was drunk.
He died and he ran off the road and then tumbled, tumbled, tumbled, tumbled,
was ejected from the car. Wear your seat belt, and
he died. His passenger lived. She was wearing her seat belt.
My neighbor across the street, he sprnted it wow, sprinted
(10:56):
across all the lawns down to the accident. He was
one of the first one's there. And I stood there
like huh. And then I saw him running and I thought, oh,
I'm going to run down there too, And that was
really shocking. That was one of the that was the
worst thing I've ever like not witnessed, but came upon
right after. And I was in the car. The guy
was like kind of was still alive and he was
(11:18):
kind of trying to sit up, but he died and
before the fire department probably even got there. But the
woman was in the car that was an suv, but
it was so flattened you wouldn't even know it was
an suv and there was broken glass everywhere. And I
was trying. I was like, I think I was leaning
in the car window, trying to keep her calm and
that type of thing. And and she said like, how
(11:40):
is he? How is he? And I said I don't
know because I truly didn't know. And then the fire
department came in. It's like everybody back away. But that was, yeah,
something really weird and shocking. That kind of stayed with
me all right. Next one, Abby says, I love your show.
Want to let you know that if you're a person
who is validated confrontation but don't want to sound too
(12:01):
harsh or upset about the situation, you should send the
person a rap. Okay, here's an example. My friend who
is probably not my friend anymore. It's so upset with
me about not going to her wedding, even though we've
hung out once since we graduated three years ago. She's
talking with others behind my back and claims I'm not
(12:22):
the support system she needs as a guest to her wedding.
My response is a rap. This is the weirdest email
that we've gotten in a while. Let me try it here. Yeah, yo,
I'm sorry that you feel in this way. Never meant
to hurt you or push you away. Life hit me
hard with responsibilities, obligation, states, and other priorities. It wasn't you, naw,
(12:43):
it wasn't our tie. I hate that you're thinking I
didn't even try. Don't know what you feel. I ain't
speaking the truth. I thought my absence didn't need a
whole proof. There's more. Wow, didn't think i'd owe a
story apology. Deep. Sometimes your life's heavy and the cost
ain't cheap. But it hurts that you pulled friend's name
into the scene. Now I'm worried that she's thinking what
it might mean, I care about you. That'll never break
(13:06):
even if the path were on, got Ben's and mistakes,
friendship don't vanish. It takes a new shape. I value
what we got. Real bonds don't escape boom confrontation done
mean not necessarily entertaining. Absolutely Okay, I love it.
Speaker 4 (13:23):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
So do you email it over and say, hey, wrap
this in your head? Or do you send a music
bed for her to wrap it to herself?
Speaker 2 (13:31):
I don't know. It's interesting. It's a lot of effort
for confrontation, but not confrontation. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
I get it. I think it was kind of like
a variety of a poem that she wrote to say
she's sorry for her friend to her friend. I don't know.
Do you do you write it and send it over?
Do you wrap it? Do you put it on a
cassette tape?
Speaker 5 (13:52):
You put it on a cassette and you send the cassette.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
That's what I would do. She never gets played. She
don't have a cassette recorder. Ox. I was on a
road trip this past weekend and it reminded me of
something I always wanted to write in about See if
whatenody else notice it is the same thing about public restrooms.
You ever knowice how rare it is that public restrooms
have an entirely automatic system, meaning auto flush, toilet, auto sensor, sinc,
(14:18):
Auto soap dispenser, automatic paper towel machine, bonus if the
door has a foot pedal so you don't have to
touch it having a small bladder. I feel qualified as
a public restroom connoisseur to raise this concern to the public.
I just feel like we as a society in twenty
twenty five, shouldn't have to touch a gross toilet handle anymore.
I'm looking at you gas station restrooms. For some reason.
(14:40):
You got a toilet you put in a home, but
you wouldn't where you have to touch the little flusher. Oh,
I see what they're saying. It's a little game I
play when traveling, checking to see if the bathroom has
all four automatic amenities toilet, sink, soap, and paper towels.
If you're laying like me, you can play along too.
I started this about ten years ago and still to
this day have only found a few. Anyway, that's my
(15:01):
rant for today. Love you guys, Lucille. This is another
just a great different email. I will only tell you
that probably half the time the automatic soaf dispensers are
empty or don't work. Yeah, So you put your hand
under one and goes nothing comes out. So you put
your hand over here, nothing comes out. You get to
(15:22):
go two down this way to find one that's working
the ones.
Speaker 4 (15:25):
I don't necessarily like automated bathrooms in general, specifically toilet flushing,
because you could just be like leaning over to like
scratch your ankle and it's gonna flush, and then it's
on your butt and you're like, oh gosh, dang it.
Or you get up after like wiping in everything and
you stand to the side and it doesn't flush, and
there's no like optional button to flush, like.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
There's always the optional button next.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
Sometimes there's not, I swear, like like you can find it,
like sometimes there's a tiny little knob or whatever, and
sometimes there's nothing, it seems and it's just the the
sensor and so I just walk out and I hope
it'll flush.
Speaker 5 (16:01):
But no guarantees. I would just rather touch the crank
on the side.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Personally, I usually do it with my foot on my monocole,
call the handle the handle. If it's a sturdy like
here at the KTWB space needle studio. The men's toilet
flushes with a large button the size of a breadstick
on the side. You know what I'm talking about. And
I don't push it with my hand. I kick it.
(16:29):
I reach my leg up.
Speaker 5 (16:32):
Foot on it. When other people do probably use their hands.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
That's their problem if it's a flusher.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Wait, you guys don't have a sensor on your bathroom
in the men's bathroom.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
I think we do. I think we do. I don't remember,
I don't know. You're unsure, all right. So we've given
you a lot to write in about things, shocking things
that you witness, maybe an accident right in front of you,
toilet things. And now this is another weird, very interesting email,
(17:01):
and I love this. A few weeks ago, as chatting
with my father in law about one of his ex girlfriends.
He was wondering whatever happened to her, So I googled
her and I found that obituary. She passed away in
twenty twenty two. There is an online guest book where
people can sign and send their condolences. The very first
one said this I am, and they took out their
(17:26):
name A strange daughter, So I am the deceased, as
strange daughter. She's been dead a year and I do
not miss her. She was a terrible human and treated
her daughters terribly. She was abusive and twisted. She died
with her two older daughters refusing to attend her service.
Her third daughter, she helped her into an early grave
(17:47):
by enabling her alcoholism. The only good thing she did
was to die. No one misses her. We are all
relieved she cannot hurt anyone ever again. God, So reading that,
I'm wondering, do you think she's being courageous or cruel
or both? Is it disrespectful to speak ill of the dead,
(18:08):
even if it's true? There is my heavy topic for
the day from Becky. I'm gonna afforard this to you, Jenny,
because I also think it is show worthy. Yeah, because
that's really interesting that somebody was so despised that that's
how they were thought of on their online condolence online
(18:29):
guest book.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
And if she had so.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
Much bad relationships with her daughters, who even put together
the online condolences thing?
Speaker 2 (18:37):
Like she had a funeral home may reationship with some
I don't think.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
The funeral home would do that unless someone like I
think that's like something like setting up a GoFundMe for
someone who's been in an accident. It's like, you set
up this nice condolences online for your sister that passed
away or something. So I would say that someone must
have loved her to set that up.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
At least I remember there was a We may have
talked about this before because I've always found it really
interesting Facebook. Maybe ten or fifteen years ago, there was
a girl in my high school class, and I knew
her all the way from like third grade on, and
she was not the nicest, but she had heart problems
(19:16):
and she would miss a few days of school every
year for heart surgery. So shortly after high school she
passed away, So probably nineteen or so years old she
passed away, and on Facebook a few years after that, no,
not after that, but a few years, like maybe fifteen
years ago, people that knew her were talking about her
(19:38):
and they're like, oh, we miss her, Oh she would
And so this other woman said, I'm not gonna lie.
She was not nice. She was a bully, she was selfish,
she was a backstabber, she was a gossiper. I'm not
going to sit here and talk about how wonderful she
was because she made my life miserable. And I found
that very interesting because it's like, did you have to
(19:59):
say that? No, are you entitled to say that because
that's your truth? Kind of like this person this was
her daughter though with this obituary that was her daughter.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
That's a different situation, Yeah, a very different situation. Like
that person sounds like someone that just doesn't seem to
be able to get over things.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
To be honest with you, The second woman was also
not the nicest person. I remember that woman in fourth grade.
Remember in school, you had to give everybody of Valentine. Yeah,
everybody in your class. You had to give them boys
and girls of Valentine. Yeah, And she had to give
me a Valentine, and she wrote on it, this is
not true. In other words, it's something like, be my Valentine.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
Yidd this is not true because she wanted me to
know she didn't like me.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
So, now that I think about it, she was kind
of unlikable person too. All Right. So yesterday I was
talking about how I had a meeting with the executive
vice president of iHeartRadio, nice guy Jeane, and he's like,
you know, one of the big wigs. He oversees like
hundreds of radio stations, and so we sat down and
talked and talked about how he's from Pittsburgh and I
(21:06):
knew from radio people in Pittsburgh that he knew and
old let catch up and blah blah blah. So what
did we talk about. He talked about my contract is
up here at KTWB at the end of May of
next year, and he's like, do you still love it?
And I said, yeah, I still do. And he's like,
(21:26):
do you you know, like, do you want to still
work here? And I'm like, yeah, I definitely want to
talk about it. So that's kind of what it was
all about. And then we talked about money, but not
exact figures, but you know, I mean, honestly, at this
point in my life it's not even about money. It's
about you know, quality of life and that type of thing.
(21:49):
So you know, money is important, but that not is
not my number one priority. And so then we just
talked about, you know, moving forward, so it was all
about It was all good stuff and yeah, so that's it.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
Okay, Yeah, I mean, of course I would ask questions,
but it's prime questions.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
What do you want to ask?
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Like, so, did they offer you a long contract.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
They didn't offer anything yet. It's just the very very
start of a discussion.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Got it.
Speaker 5 (22:18):
Would you give up any of the money for you know, everybody.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Else for you? No, just everything for everybody else? I
mean I don't. I think if they took money away
from me, they would keep it rather than give it
to somebody else.
Speaker 5 (22:32):
So that the stipulation is that it needs to be
distributed to everybody.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
I can consider that.
Speaker 5 (22:36):
Okay, can give me a week more of vacation, and
then everyone else can.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Have my money, and Bailey gets another one hundred dollars.
Speaker 5 (22:43):
I mean, I'd love another one hundred dollars a month.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
I'll ask about it.
Speaker 5 (22:46):
Well, we can distribute the wealth. I mean I was
last in first out? Is that what they say?
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Last and first last in first out?
Speaker 4 (22:53):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (22:53):
All right, So anyway, it was really not much, but
it was good news. So except Jenny is like, god,
I was hoping to be Jenny in the morning, zoo
ad damn it. Jenny's like, well, now I really do
got a murder him.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Okay, shut up. Well, a big wigs coming into town
to talk to you specifically. At this point, obviously I
knew what it would be about.
Speaker 5 (23:16):
It would be art woman.
Speaker 3 (23:17):
Sure of the show which involves you, so I figure
that's what it was all about. But you know, I
try to be respectful of your privacy and I didn't
go in there. I did almost bargain though, just to
say hello because I was wearing my bikini shirt and
I want to be like hygiene.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
I'm Jenny, I'm in a bikini shirt. Look boobies. All right.
That is it for the Minnesota Goodbye. Love to hear
from you about something that you witnessed, or your experiences
in bathrooms or anything else you want to bring up.
I love the odd variety with a rap that somebody
sent into us today. That was amazing. And thank you
(23:52):
for sending in your emails to Ryan Show at KADIWB
dot com. We'll get you next time on the Minnesota
Goodbye
So one of the things that follows that comes up
in my algorithm on Facebook, mostly Facebook, is anything with
the moon and the moon landings, because I just find
that fascinating. And then every time there's somebody about the
moon landings, there's somebody who's like, yeah, we never went
to the moon. It was all fake. It was filmed
on a sound stage. We never got to the moon.
So I always comment with, here come the chronic masturbaters,
(00:24):
bald and pudgy guys that are living in mom's basement,
putting down the Cheetos for a few seconds so they
can tell us how the moon landing was fake. Because
that's one of the things that really bugs me, is
that the moon landing was not fake. But there are
people who really want to show you how smart they were,
even though they probably graduated from fifth grade, but they
want to tell you how smart they were that the
(00:45):
moon landing never took place. So not really getting to
get into that. Is there anything on social media that
you see that annoys you? I mean, I hope there is,
because that's what social media is so good at, is
annoying us and also pleasing us at the same time. Well,
I mean it does there's certain things on social media
that annoy us. Is there anything that annoys you on
(01:05):
social media?
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Honestly know?
Speaker 3 (01:06):
Because I think I've curated my algorithm to really be
what I care about seeing. It's all about like hiking
and outdoor stuff and traveling, or like funny dog memes
or something like that. I really don't think my algorithm
feeds me anything I don't want to see.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Well, see, I think that my thing is that I
want to see the moon stuff, but I don't want
to see the annoying conspiracy theorists. Yeah, so anything with you, baiby.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
I mean I talked about it earlier on the show
today that the only thing is when super like gorgeous
influencers are wearing like either skimpy underwear or little bikinis
and they put their like thumbs through the sides and
then pull it up a little bit and then push
it down and pull it up and push it down, like,
oh look, I'm adjusting my bikini.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
What does that do?
Speaker 5 (01:52):
What is just it brings your eyeballs to their crotch.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
That's Is that what it's meant to do?
Speaker 4 (01:56):
I don't know, but okay, Jenny said it was like
the ducklips.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
Of it is if you're going to be in a bikini,
it's kind of like something to pose your body in
a certain way. And like I mean, most of these
girls are already super gorgeous. They don't need to like
angle their body in a way to make it look better.
But that's kind of what it helped do to an extent.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Yeah, Okay, can I go back for a second. I'm
kind of all over the place. The reason I brought
up the moon landing is I got a press release
from the State Fair. There is going to be an
Apollo fifteen moon rock at the Minnesota State Fair this
year at the big NASA exhibit. So that's kind of cool.
It was brought back in August first of nineteen seventy
one from the Moon.
Speaker 5 (02:36):
Where's the NASA exhibit?
Speaker 1 (02:39):
We will be at the North End Events Center, Murphy
north of Murphy Avenue at the north end of the
fairgrounds for just a few days Thursday through Sunday of
this week. We would love to come by to talk,
love to come talk to you, or have you stop
by our exhibit when we're in town. So they got
some cool stuff.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
Okay, Well, it's North End event center. I don't even
know if I've heard of it. It must be like
only open. Oh it's by the hangar. It is way
on the north side.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Oh, I know where the hangar is. Yeah, it's kind
of like an airplane themed bar, right.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
Yeah, so it's like across from the pet pavilion by
the hangar. But I've never I didn't even know that
was a thing. I mean, it must be empty most
of the time, Okay.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Cool.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
One of the things that annoys me and you guys
got to be annoyed by this fake videos of like
somebody staging a fight on an airplane and you can
tell that it's all like their friends and they rented
an airplane cabin set or somebody who does something and
it's just fake. And I always comment, because you know,
I'm a troll that way, always comment fake. Do you
(03:43):
guys ever see the fake videos online? Like somebody who Okay,
there was one. There was one a few years ago,
and it was a guy who pulls up in a
maserati and he goes up to a girl and he's like, hey,
do you want to go for a ride, and she's like,
oh my god, yeah, you're so cute. And it was
like just so fake with bad acting. Nobody else notices they.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Don't have that algorithm, Dave. I think they haven't curated
to what we like.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
The only thing that I see that I know is
fake but it doesn't necessarily bother me, is that this guy.
Speaker 5 (04:14):
In like New York.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
He walks up to strangers and he says, hey, what
do you do for a living, And then they tell them,
and then he says, cool, where do you live? How
much do you pay in rent or whatever? And they're like, oh,
I live right around the corner. Hey, can I check
it out? Yeah, for sure, you can come on check
it out. And so clearly he asks these people in advance,
like hey, I'm going to come up to you, or
(04:35):
they're his friends or something or other.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Well, a lot of times it's like very famous, very
wealthy people in New York, so you like to get
it or something. But he also does things where literally
the people live in a shoe box.
Speaker 5 (04:46):
Yeah, but then they show it off.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Yeah, And it's honestly I love that guy. Yeah, I
think it's Yes, it's very stage.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
I'm at the beginning.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
It wasn't when he's becoming big, but now that he's big,
he's able to reach out to people who are like
willing to show their places off, and.
Speaker 5 (05:00):
Those are so those are staged. I don't necessarily think
they're like fake.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Okay, that makes sense, Yeah, but.
Speaker 5 (05:06):
Like fake stuff, I mean on TikTok.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
Right now, what's really big is having animals like AI animals.
It's from like a camera viewpoint from like a nighttime
camera of a trampoline in a backyard, and all of
these animals are jumping on the trampoline.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
No funny.
Speaker 5 (05:20):
So they'll be like, oh, here are all.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
These bunnies who are jumping on this trampoline, or here's
a bear.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
But it's clearly fake. Well it's meant to be entertaining.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
Yeah, well I think it's clearly AI, but people believe it,
and so now it's now it's kind of turned into
a bit. Well, they'll have like a trampoline is jumping
on a trampoline. Okay, car comes up to jump on
the trampoline. So they're like, look, it's so clearly fake.
But when it was just like the bunnies and the bear,
people thought it was real.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
All right, let me run more one more by you, Okay.
It'll say something like the it'll be Facebook and it'll
say something like we Love Friends the TV show and
it'll show a picture of Monica, but the caption will
say Jennifer and as Rachel.
Speaker 5 (06:01):
No, that's rage bait.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
That's kind of what it's like, rage bait. But it
also makes you engage because you feel like that's not
that's not Rachel, that's Monica, and you feel like you
must engage it. So this morning, I'm sitting there and
having my coffee, I'm playing wordle and I take a
little break, and there was one and it was from
an old TV show from the seventies, and they had
the wrong character names, and they said, don't respond to this.
(06:25):
They're just trying to get you to respond because the
more engagement they get, the more money they make. Yeah,
I'm like, oh, that totally makes sense. They're not just
trying to be trolls. They're trying to get you to engage.
Therefore they can get more monetary whatever from their Facebook.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
Like a weird way to make money to me, But
I'm a different kind of person. But every time you
comment with fake you're just giving them money.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Am I really?
Speaker 5 (06:48):
Yes, buddy, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Well thanks good to know. Oh, all right, thank you
for the moon Rock email. Next one, I wonder if
you can help me. Let's see what they say here.
Last year, you may have noticed I did not come
to the booth and do my famous Drake impression. Now
this is from a woman named Mary Anne, and she
has come by the booth. I think the first year
Drake was on the show. She came by and she's like, Hi,
(07:12):
my name is Drake, and she's so funny. Here's why
I didn't come by. Is at the fair with my kids,
nephew and his wife, all grown ups in their twenties
and thirties, were at the grand stand going upstairs at
the second level. Some of my family is already way
up in the second flight, and I'm on the landing
with my son and daughter. We're getting ready to go up.
A man fell down the stairs, hitting his head on
(07:35):
the way down, and landed about a foot away from
where we were standing. He did not move. I said,
oh my god, this is bad, and I called nine
one one right away. I was told to stay there
until the EMTs got there so they could locate us.
By the time they got there, the guy had opened
his eyes, but he still wasn't moving. The scene was chaotic,
and I felt so horrible for the family. We stayed
(07:57):
for a little while longer, but we were all so
shook we just left the fair. My family and I
have talked about this a million times since it happened,
and we all have thought about that man and his family.
Someone out there knows this man, or knows the family
or something. Please let us know how he is.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Yeah, we should maybe read that on the show. I'm
going to forward that to you, Jenny, because you know,
the viewership or the listenership on the show is bigger
than the Minnesota Goodbye. So I'm going to forward this
over to Jenny and we can read this tomorrow. Yeah.
But if yeah, I mean, if you know anything about that,
maybe you were like an EMT or you were there.
You're the guy himself or his kid, Lann, let us know.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
I hope he's okay.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
My hope so too. What a disturbing thing to see
that rattled them to the point that they had to
leave the fair.
Speaker 5 (08:43):
I've witnessed.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
I mean, I wasn't not the fair, but I was
definitely like walking to a class once with a friend
and we watched a guy like come out of an
apartment building that was like a walk up like on
a kind of porch sort of thing, and he like
took one step off the porch and then fell down
like the rest of the like five concrete stairs, and
we had to call nine one one and wait with
him too.
Speaker 5 (09:04):
It was so awkward. It's kind of the same exact situation,
but then we felt so weird.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
Like leaving, we were just like, Okay, well, the EMTs
are here, do.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
You know this man?
Speaker 4 (09:13):
We're like no. We were literally just walking by as
he walked out of this house and he fell down
the stairs. Yeah, and he was he was bleeding. He
was like delirious. It was so weird.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
That's disturbing. Yeah, it's terrifying if you saw. I bet
there's somebody who listens to the Minnesota Goodbye who witnessed
a serous traffic accident right in front of them.
Speaker 5 (09:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
I was over by what's right across from the Excel
it's near the Excel Energy Center. It's it's a restaurant,
and a car came through the intersection and hit another
car head on, flipped up on its side, and skidded
down the street. And I was so shocked that I
did not know what to do. Now you would think that,
oh my god, you're a former boy scout and you're
(09:58):
a good person, so you're gonna run over there and
you're going to help out. And no, that's not what
I did at all. I stood there waiting for somebody
else to run over and help out.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Really I did it froze. I kind of froze response it.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Was, And I think back on it now, it's like,
why didn't I run over? Because I remember, maybe twenty
five years ago or so, we were in chan Hassen
and we heard a er long tire screech, followed by
a boom but boom but boom boom boom boom boom,
and it kept going and it was a car that
(10:36):
had like run off the road. The guy was drunk.
He died and he ran off the road and then tumbled, tumbled, tumbled, tumbled,
was ejected from the car. Wear your seat belt, and
he died. His passenger lived. She was wearing her seat belt.
My neighbor across the street, he sprnted it wow, sprinted
(10:56):
across all the lawns down to the accident. He was
one of the first one's there. And I stood there
like huh. And then I saw him running and I thought, oh,
I'm going to run down there too, And that was
really shocking. That was one of the that was the
worst thing I've ever like not witnessed, but came upon
right after. And I was in the car. The guy
was like kind of was still alive and he was
(11:18):
kind of trying to sit up, but he died and
before the fire department probably even got there. But the
woman was in the car that was an suv, but
it was so flattened you wouldn't even know it was
an suv and there was broken glass everywhere. And I
was trying. I was like, I think I was leaning
in the car window, trying to keep her calm and
that type of thing. And and she said like, how
(11:40):
is he? How is he? And I said I don't
know because I truly didn't know. And then the fire
department came in. It's like everybody back away. But that was, yeah,
something really weird and shocking. That kind of stayed with
me all right. Next one, Abby says, I love your show.
Want to let you know that if you're a person
who is validated confrontation but don't want to sound too
(12:01):
harsh or upset about the situation, you should send the
person a rap. Okay, here's an example. My friend who
is probably not my friend anymore. It's so upset with
me about not going to her wedding, even though we've
hung out once since we graduated three years ago. She's
talking with others behind my back and claims I'm not
(12:22):
the support system she needs as a guest to her wedding.
My response is a rap. This is the weirdest email
that we've gotten in a while. Let me try it here. Yeah, yo,
I'm sorry that you feel in this way. Never meant
to hurt you or push you away. Life hit me
hard with responsibilities, obligation, states, and other priorities. It wasn't you, naw,
(12:43):
it wasn't our tie. I hate that you're thinking I
didn't even try. Don't know what you feel. I ain't
speaking the truth. I thought my absence didn't need a
whole proof. There's more. Wow, didn't think i'd owe a
story apology. Deep. Sometimes your life's heavy and the cost
ain't cheap. But it hurts that you pulled friend's name
into the scene. Now I'm worried that she's thinking what
it might mean, I care about you. That'll never break
(13:06):
even if the path were on, got Ben's and mistakes,
friendship don't vanish. It takes a new shape. I value
what we got. Real bonds don't escape boom confrontation done
mean not necessarily entertaining. Absolutely Okay, I love it.
Speaker 4 (13:23):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
So do you email it over and say, hey, wrap
this in your head? Or do you send a music
bed for her to wrap it to herself?
Speaker 2 (13:31):
I don't know. It's interesting. It's a lot of effort
for confrontation, but not confrontation. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
I get it. I think it was kind of like
a variety of a poem that she wrote to say
she's sorry for her friend to her friend. I don't know.
Do you do you write it and send it over?
Do you wrap it? Do you put it on a
cassette tape?
Speaker 5 (13:52):
You put it on a cassette and you send the cassette.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
That's what I would do. She never gets played. She
don't have a cassette recorder. Ox. I was on a
road trip this past weekend and it reminded me of
something I always wanted to write in about See if
whatenody else notice it is the same thing about public restrooms.
You ever knowice how rare it is that public restrooms
have an entirely automatic system, meaning auto flush, toilet, auto sensor, sinc,
(14:18):
Auto soap dispenser, automatic paper towel machine, bonus if the
door has a foot pedal so you don't have to
touch it having a small bladder. I feel qualified as
a public restroom connoisseur to raise this concern to the public.
I just feel like we as a society in twenty
twenty five, shouldn't have to touch a gross toilet handle anymore.
I'm looking at you gas station restrooms. For some reason.
(14:40):
You got a toilet you put in a home, but
you wouldn't where you have to touch the little flusher. Oh,
I see what they're saying. It's a little game I
play when traveling, checking to see if the bathroom has
all four automatic amenities toilet, sink, soap, and paper towels.
If you're laying like me, you can play along too.
I started this about ten years ago and still to
this day have only found a few. Anyway, that's my
(15:01):
rant for today. Love you guys, Lucille. This is another
just a great different email. I will only tell you
that probably half the time the automatic soaf dispensers are
empty or don't work. Yeah, So you put your hand
under one and goes nothing comes out. So you put
your hand over here, nothing comes out. You get to
(15:22):
go two down this way to find one that's working
the ones.
Speaker 4 (15:25):
I don't necessarily like automated bathrooms in general, specifically toilet flushing,
because you could just be like leaning over to like
scratch your ankle and it's gonna flush, and then it's
on your butt and you're like, oh gosh, dang it.
Or you get up after like wiping in everything and
you stand to the side and it doesn't flush, and
there's no like optional button to flush, like.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
There's always the optional button next.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
Sometimes there's not, I swear, like like you can find it,
like sometimes there's a tiny little knob or whatever, and
sometimes there's nothing, it seems and it's just the the
sensor and so I just walk out and I hope
it'll flush.
Speaker 5 (16:01):
But no guarantees. I would just rather touch the crank
on the side.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Personally, I usually do it with my foot on my monocole,
call the handle the handle. If it's a sturdy like
here at the KTWB space needle studio. The men's toilet
flushes with a large button the size of a breadstick
on the side. You know what I'm talking about. And
I don't push it with my hand. I kick it.
(16:29):
I reach my leg up.
Speaker 5 (16:32):
Foot on it. When other people do probably use their hands.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
That's their problem if it's a flusher.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Wait, you guys don't have a sensor on your bathroom
in the men's bathroom.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
I think we do. I think we do. I don't remember,
I don't know. You're unsure, all right. So we've given
you a lot to write in about things, shocking things
that you witness, maybe an accident right in front of you,
toilet things. And now this is another weird, very interesting email,
(17:01):
and I love this. A few weeks ago, as chatting
with my father in law about one of his ex girlfriends.
He was wondering whatever happened to her, So I googled
her and I found that obituary. She passed away in
twenty twenty two. There is an online guest book where
people can sign and send their condolences. The very first
one said this I am, and they took out their
(17:26):
name A strange daughter, So I am the deceased, as
strange daughter. She's been dead a year and I do
not miss her. She was a terrible human and treated
her daughters terribly. She was abusive and twisted. She died
with her two older daughters refusing to attend her service.
Her third daughter, she helped her into an early grave
(17:47):
by enabling her alcoholism. The only good thing she did
was to die. No one misses her. We are all
relieved she cannot hurt anyone ever again. God, So reading that,
I'm wondering, do you think she's being courageous or cruel
or both? Is it disrespectful to speak ill of the dead,
(18:08):
even if it's true? There is my heavy topic for
the day from Becky. I'm gonna afforard this to you, Jenny,
because I also think it is show worthy. Yeah, because
that's really interesting that somebody was so despised that that's
how they were thought of on their online condolence online
(18:29):
guest book.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
And if she had so.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
Much bad relationships with her daughters, who even put together
the online condolences thing?
Speaker 2 (18:37):
Like she had a funeral home may reationship with some
I don't think.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
The funeral home would do that unless someone like I
think that's like something like setting up a GoFundMe for
someone who's been in an accident. It's like, you set
up this nice condolences online for your sister that passed
away or something. So I would say that someone must
have loved her to set that up.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
At least I remember there was a We may have
talked about this before because I've always found it really
interesting Facebook. Maybe ten or fifteen years ago, there was
a girl in my high school class, and I knew
her all the way from like third grade on, and
she was not the nicest, but she had heart problems
(19:16):
and she would miss a few days of school every
year for heart surgery. So shortly after high school she
passed away, So probably nineteen or so years old she
passed away, and on Facebook a few years after that, no,
not after that, but a few years, like maybe fifteen
years ago, people that knew her were talking about her
(19:38):
and they're like, oh, we miss her, Oh she would
And so this other woman said, I'm not gonna lie.
She was not nice. She was a bully, she was selfish,
she was a backstabber, she was a gossiper. I'm not
going to sit here and talk about how wonderful she
was because she made my life miserable. And I found
that very interesting because it's like, did you have to
(19:59):
say that? No, are you entitled to say that because
that's your truth? Kind of like this person this was
her daughter though with this obituary that was her daughter.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
That's a different situation, Yeah, a very different situation. Like
that person sounds like someone that just doesn't seem to
be able to get over things.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
To be honest with you, The second woman was also
not the nicest person. I remember that woman in fourth grade.
Remember in school, you had to give everybody of Valentine. Yeah,
everybody in your class. You had to give them boys
and girls of Valentine. Yeah, And she had to give
me a Valentine, and she wrote on it, this is
not true. In other words, it's something like, be my Valentine.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
Yidd this is not true because she wanted me to
know she didn't like me.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
So, now that I think about it, she was kind
of unlikable person too. All Right. So yesterday I was
talking about how I had a meeting with the executive
vice president of iHeartRadio, nice guy Jeane, and he's like,
you know, one of the big wigs. He oversees like
hundreds of radio stations, and so we sat down and
talked and talked about how he's from Pittsburgh and I
(21:06):
knew from radio people in Pittsburgh that he knew and
old let catch up and blah blah blah. So what
did we talk about. He talked about my contract is
up here at KTWB at the end of May of
next year, and he's like, do you still love it?
And I said, yeah, I still do. And he's like,
(21:26):
do you you know, like, do you want to still
work here? And I'm like, yeah, I definitely want to
talk about it. So that's kind of what it was
all about. And then we talked about money, but not
exact figures, but you know, I mean, honestly, at this
point in my life it's not even about money. It's
about you know, quality of life and that type of thing.
(21:49):
So you know, money is important, but that not is
not my number one priority. And so then we just
talked about, you know, moving forward, so it was all
about It was all good stuff and yeah, so that's it.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
Okay, Yeah, I mean, of course I would ask questions,
but it's prime questions.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
What do you want to ask?
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Like, so, did they offer you a long contract.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
They didn't offer anything yet. It's just the very very
start of a discussion.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Got it.
Speaker 5 (22:18):
Would you give up any of the money for you know, everybody.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Else for you? No, just everything for everybody else? I
mean I don't. I think if they took money away
from me, they would keep it rather than give it
to somebody else.
Speaker 5 (22:32):
So that the stipulation is that it needs to be
distributed to everybody.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
I can consider that.
Speaker 5 (22:36):
Okay, can give me a week more of vacation, and
then everyone else can.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Have my money, and Bailey gets another one hundred dollars.
Speaker 5 (22:43):
I mean, I'd love another one hundred dollars a month.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
I'll ask about it.
Speaker 5 (22:46):
Well, we can distribute the wealth. I mean I was
last in first out? Is that what they say?
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Last and first last in first out?
Speaker 4 (22:53):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (22:53):
All right, So anyway, it was really not much, but
it was good news. So except Jenny is like, god,
I was hoping to be Jenny in the morning, zoo
ad damn it. Jenny's like, well, now I really do
got a murder him.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Okay, shut up. Well, a big wigs coming into town
to talk to you specifically. At this point, obviously I
knew what it would be about.
Speaker 5 (23:16):
It would be art woman.
Speaker 3 (23:17):
Sure of the show which involves you, so I figure
that's what it was all about. But you know, I
try to be respectful of your privacy and I didn't
go in there. I did almost bargain though, just to
say hello because I was wearing my bikini shirt and
I want to be like hygiene.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
I'm Jenny, I'm in a bikini shirt. Look boobies. All right.
That is it for the Minnesota Goodbye. Love to hear
from you about something that you witnessed, or your experiences
in bathrooms or anything else you want to bring up.
I love the odd variety with a rap that somebody
sent into us today. That was amazing. And thank you
(23:52):
for sending in your emails to Ryan Show at KADIWB
dot com. We'll get you next time on the Minnesota
Goodbye
