Speaker 1 (00:00):
What is a tourist trap that is absolutely worth it?
I would say Waldrug. I love Waldrug. A lot of
people love different with me on that, but I think
when you go across South Dakota, it's like it's such
a rolling hills expanse of nothing and cattle that you
look forward to a sign of civilization. Oh here's a town,
(00:20):
let's stop and get a pepsi. Oh here's a town.
Let's stop and get some corn nuts. Yeah, guess what
wal drug. And you see the signs all the way there,
and you get there and it's a little bit off
the road. It's not right there, it's a half a
mile off the road. And then you get there and
it's like, this is the oasis that I've been reading
about and hearing about all the way across South Dakota.
I love Waldrug. You get back on the freeway and
(00:42):
once again you're in the middle of an expanse of
fucking nothing. But I love Waldrug. It's probab favorite tourist trap.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
I have never been there, so I would have no idea.
I'm sure I would love it because Jenny was there
a handful of months ago and she said she even
like texted me when she was in there. She's like,
you would love it here at Waldrog and I'm like, oh,
bang it. I wish I always stop at like historical
like any not historical markers because those are sometimes boring,
(01:10):
but like kind of a fleshed out historical marker.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
There's one south.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
I don't know where it is south, but like it's
like a silhouette of different like cowboys.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
And Americans or something in Minnesota.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Yeah, okay, so and I stopped there and that was cool.
And like the Jolly Green Giant that's down south somewhere
on the.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Way to the sewer.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Yeah, I've stopped at the Jolly Green Giant. There's like,
I don't know that kind of stuff.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
I stopped at the Mayo Brother's house thirty years ago
when I first moved here. We were coming back from
man Cato. It's like, oh, the Mayo Brother's house before
they became you know, famous and successful. It's like, oh,
it's an old house. Yeah, so that was kind of disappointing,
but that's not really kind of what I'm talking about. Yeah,
I think that, like I don't know the Paul Bunyan statue.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
I have met there, okay, and there and that is
and I've been up there during like wintertime too. And honestly,
right where the Paul Bunyan statue is in Bamidgi, that
whole area is all like decked out in Christmas lights. Okay,
And I always stop because I'm like, this is so cute.
What a wonderful world we live in, La la la.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Mount Rushmore is a good one. A lot of people
are disappointed in Mount Rushmore. The Murdo Car Museum in
South Dakota is a good one. I'm trying to think
about the roadside. Devil's Tower was really cool, but I'm
trying to put it like a pin on what like
a definition of what is a tourist trap.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
I know, if you go up north and you're going
like towards Duluth, I always stop at Toby's for their
like giant sinmon rolls and giants.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
That's delicious.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
And then further up like past Duluth, I think towards
like two Harbors, there's a candy store that has like
cute little cutouts outside and they have tons of taffy.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
I had a salted grape taffy there. Okay, delicious.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
I will stop there, I still open. Will you Google
really take Betty's Pies?
Speaker 3 (03:01):
And I think Betty's Pies is still open okay, But.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
If you are going up in that direction, there's a
different pie place called The Rustic in that has better
pies period.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
It's just that they don't have the word pie in there.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
Can I ask you a question?
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Yeah? Sure.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
So this weekend I have literally nothing going on, so
I was talking to my friend Sarah about like planning
a little day trip and potentially either going to like Rochester,
Red Wing, New Olm, going somewhere just for the day.
What are your thoughts, feelings, recommendations.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Okay, New Olm is good for a half a day.
The drive down there is part of the experience in
New Olme. It's just a pretty drive. Yeah, you know,
there's you know, beagles, kaiser hop, there's a little bit
of shopping to be one transparent. The main street in
New Olm is it's okay, Okay, it's okay.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
And I've been there before, so that's where I'm like,
it was fun, but.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
They're trying for a still water vibe. Yeah, and with
shops and candy stores and little T shirt shops and
it's just not really making it's it's a cute little stop,
but it's not as still Water where you can spend
an afternoon wandering still Water. Yeah, I would say red
Wing is a better choice because you can go to
barn Bluff. There's a winery down there, there's the Saint
(04:20):
James Hotel, eat up on the roof. There's a great
restaurant up on the roof. If you don't want to
sit outside, you can sit inside and you're next to
the river. You can watch the boats and the barges
come by, and it's just pretty. There's like a museum
and there's good shopping. Their main street is not nearly
as good as still Water, but there's the red Wing
shoe store and that's kind of cool.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
Yeah, red Wing.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
I would go red Wing New Olm. I wish they
did better, but their main street is a little I
hate to say it because I think it's such a
cute town and I go there once a year. It's
a little bit dried up on the main street.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Sure.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
And it was, yeah, either red Wing, Rochester or New Elm.
And I've don't know Rochester Rochester. I wanted to go
there only because they have like three different and breweries
that sound pretty dope.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
So it's cool that you are. You're a beer drinking girl,
and I appreciate that because most women that I don't know,
and this is just my personal experience, they're not crazy
about beer.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
I love it. I had to teach myself how to
like it.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Though.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Blue Moon is a gateway beer. If you're looking to
get into beers.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
You put an orange in your Blue Moon.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Ah yeah, of initially, and honestly, I always go with
Blue Moon if there's nothing else to drink at the bar.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Same if I'm like, you know, pressure to order, like
what can I get you? And I'm like, ah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
yea ya, yah yeah yah, blue Moon with an orange.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Yes, delicious. Gateway Okay to craft beer.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
I'm going to give you a little place that is
it's a drive it's a two ish or so drive
away maybe too yeah, okay. It's Pipestone, Minnesota, and it's
a neglected, forgotten, very historic, very beautiful little The town
is okay. Again, they try for a touristy strip and
(05:52):
it never really came out. But they used to have
the Calumet Hotel, which is like an eighteen eighty hotel.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Cool.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
It looks like a castle. It's beautiful, but I think
it's closed. However, the Pipestone National Monument is in the
same condition it was all through history, and there are
carvings on the rocks of an expedition like Father Hennepen
that came through there in like eighteen oh four carved
his name on a rock and it's still there.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Now.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
I'm not exactly sure that it's Father Hennepin, but it's somebody, yeah,
And his name is still carved there on a rock.
And you walk through and there's beautiful waterfalls and its wilderness.
And the cool thing about pipestone is pipestone is an
actual rock. That's where the Indians would come. The Natives
would come from miles around to quarry the pipestone and
they would make pipes out of this Redish carvable stone.
(06:44):
And the natives still have the rights to do it.
The white people, Europeans, nobody else cannot quarry the pipestone,
but they quarry it still, and they carve right in
front of you, and you can buy the little things
that they sell.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
Cool.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
And I just fucking lovepestone, Okay, I wrote it down
it's a little bit of an ignored and there's not
really much else to do there. Yeah, there's a pizza ranch.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Okay, well it could potentially see other things along the way.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
On the way is Walnut Grove.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Yeah, oh my gosh, Okay, great, great, Okay, I'm writing
all these things down because I have literally three days
of nothing.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Okay, do you have anybody to do these things with?
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Yeah, my friend Sarah, I said, I would like to
do something with her. I said, if you want to
take a day trip somewhere. She'd be like, cool, we
can figure it out.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Sweet.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
What's up with Sarah? Is she single? Is she a single?
Speaker 3 (07:31):
My friend Sarah, she's from college.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
What do you think she's doing wrong that she's single?
Speaker 3 (07:36):
Probably not giving a shit as much as.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Like about her appearance or about her body.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Odor she's she's a beautiful woman. She just is like,
I don't need to find the love of my life.
So she's just kind of like she's on apps. She's
just like, yeah, gonna wanna just if if I want
a bit of ass for the night, I'm gonna find
a bit of ass.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
For the night.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Are you serious?
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Yeah, something like that. She wants to say a bit
of ass for the night.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
But she's just like, Yeah, I just kind of want
to what was it with you a couple of days ago,
you setting it to go down to Chicago and find
me some d Oh? Yeah, Now she did say this.
This is a quote from Bailey. I'm not trying to
put words in.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Her say that I did say that I have.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
It's I call him a long con because he's on
a back burner all the time. He is not anyone
who is actually someone I would probably date because he
lives in Chicago. But he lives in Chicago. We talk
usually every day just over Instagram.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Oh every day.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Yeah, but like.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
None of it's suggestive. Anytime I try to be suggestive,
it is not reciprocated at all.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
Were about himself. I'm pretty sure he just doesn't have
a lot of people to talk to.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Is that the worst when you flirt with somebody and
and they don't reciprocate back, and honestly.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Little things like well that's hot, or like, don't threaten
me with a good time crickets. Wow, I'll just like
move on talk about something else.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
But so, no D in Chicago, No.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
D in Chicago.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
He's not He's going out of town, and I literally
was like, so, what's there to do in Chicago over
Fourth of July weekend? Eyeballs? Eyeballs, eyeballs, And of course
I want him to be like, well, you could do
this D and he did not say that.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
He was like, wow, if he offered up the D
you would be down there.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Would have gone to Chicago this weekend. Yeah, because again
I have nothing going on.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Is he gay?
Speaker 3 (09:12):
I don't think so.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Okay. If you say you don't think so, then.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Then I mean, I know he has dated women in
the past, Okay, but I know gay people who have
done that too.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
That is true. Well, have fun this weekend on the
fourth of July. It's now supposed to be pretty darn
nice this weekend with the chance of rain, which I
can deal with. Last year was a total washout. I'm
gonna call Bingo at the chan fourth of July Bingo tent.
I think that's actually on the fourth of July at
eleven o'clock in the morning.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
If I have nothing going on, I'll show up.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
Come by and then the parade is you know, it's
your local parade with like the fire Department, the cub Scouts,
the girl scouts, clowns on bicycles, clowns, and marching bands.
So it's it's it's really cool. And so it's just
your typical small town parade. And then they have a
lot of events and blah blah blah, and they have
a big carnival beer garden in the Shanhassan City Center
lawn and it's just cool.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
I love a beer.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Yeah, So if you want.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
To come by, if I got none else going on,
I'll be.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
There Saturday and Sunday. I don't think we have any plans,
so looking forward to the three day weekend for sure.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
Sure.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
All right, let's get into the emails here. We have
just a couple little dry spell on the emails, but
I'm going to read this one from Alyssa. Hello, morning
show friends. It's an interesting concept to call you all
my friends when it's entirely one sided. But that's how
I think of you all. I love that, and people
actually say words to that effect all the time. You
don't know anything about me, but I know everything about you,
(10:35):
and I think of you guys as friends. I love that.
I graduated in two thousand and eight. I'd make her
about thirty five, so I can relate to a lot
what Ben, Jenny and Bailey say and Dave. I live
in Chaska and run Errand's in chan and I've seen
Susan out a few times. Love you all. I wanted
to share my recent zero res experience. I use them
(10:55):
a lot, probably a dozen times over the years. Always
had a great experience. The last time was no different.
But I had to laugh at what one of the
techs said to me. I've recently gotten more relaxed in
my skin about not always needed to be presentable, i e.
Hair and makeup done. I felt fine not being made
up to have a cleaning day at home. The tech
is making small talk and proceeded to ask if the
(11:17):
large family on the wall was a stock photo. Now
that's my family.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
He then corrected himself when he recognized my daughter. Oh,
she was there in the house of the time, and
he made no mention to me in the photo. I
couldn't stop laughing after he left. Photos attached to my
family picture and my look that day left me very humbled. Anyway,
it's your daily reminder two that it's okay to laugh
at yourself and not take life too seriously. So she
shows a picture of herself looking very I mean no makeup,
(11:46):
hair pulled back, a sweatshirt, very ordinary. But her family
photo is gorgeous. It is her and her family holding
hands in a field of wheat with hills in the background.
And it looks like when you buy a photo frame,
when you buy a photo frame at Target, that's the
paper photo that's in there, and it's a beautiful photo.
(12:07):
And he's like, oh, is that a stock photo? And
then it's like, oh, well, I recognize a little girl
and that's you wearing like beautiful clothing and your husband
is wearing like a very Minnesota kind of a Flannelly
shirt to.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Be worst of the tech was like, that's you. That's right, worse.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
So that is a cool story, Lissa, thank you for that.
Next one, let's see here we go. I have it
here somewhere here. It is Hello morning crew. Effective immediately.
Dave must stop saying touch and tickle On the air.
We were talking about morning sex yesterday and vont said
morning sex is the worst. It's overrated. Nobody likes morning sex.
(12:46):
And I said, no, you know, you roll over, you
wake up and there they are, and you know, you
give them a little touch and tiggle and a little
fondle and a little a little loving, and then it's
just kind of fun. That used to be my favorite time.
A little touch, a little tickle. I am listening to
the podcast. I cannot stop twitching every time he says it. EWW,
(13:09):
thank you for your attention to this matter, Signed a
concerned listener, So thank you for that. A little touch
and a little tickle. Another one started the pot topic.
I think everybody is deserving of the car of their dreams.
I find it weird when I see men drive convertibles,
(13:31):
and vont I totally agree morning sex is overrated, kind
of gross. Yeah, don't want none of it. So I'm
not sure why she brought up the car of their dreams.
But oh, I find it weird when I see men
drive convertibles. I'd never thought about that. I think convertibles
are awesome, and I think, here's the thing I see.
It's kind of a cliche. You see a corvettees like
(13:53):
the coolest American sports car there is. It looks like
a Ferrari if you don't know, very sleek and low,
and they're fucking loud, and they're very cool. Ninety nine
percent of the time it's an old, gray haired guy
driving it. It's kind of a cliche, and as I've
gotten older, I give them a pass. I used to
be like, who do you think you are trying to
be young in a corvette. I figure that here's a
(14:15):
guy who probably has wanted a Corvette his entire life,
couldn't afford one, and now he's sixty five and he
wants a Corvette before he dies. Right, exactly, go buy
your fucking corvette.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
Yeah, if you just.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Come into your money now, or like, if you've just
like now, I have the means. My kids are out
of the house, they're all supporting themselves.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
I have the means.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
I want to spend my money on a corvette or
a convertible or whatever.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
Then spend your money. Maybe I'm all for it.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
I love seeing little little old guys in their little
red convertibles that are from like nineteen sixty two and
they're just so happy.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Love that.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
I love seeing that too. You see like a nineteen
fifty seven Chevy or whatever, and it's like, you know,
it's a very nobody your age or even my age
wants that.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Now, Okay, those are my favorite cars. I would never
drive one, but they're gorgeous. I would love to get
married and like drive up to the ceremony in one
of those.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
Uh beautiful.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
That's kind of cool. I wonder like in another thirty years,
when all the people who own fifty seven corvettes are gone,
what will become of those where they'll still be collectors
for you know, your great grandpa's fifty seven Chevy.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
I think they.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Get rented a lot for like special occasions like weddings
and things. I like, I've looked into it because obviously,
you know, I'm a woman, so I've planned my wedding
even though I have zero prospects. But you can like
rent old classic cars from just random people, like oh,
I want to really go out to Wisconsin and rent
this fifty Yeah, driving.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Around next one and my first time writing in I'm
not good at storytelling, but I'll do my best. What
I saw at Costco disappointed me as putting my groceries
in my car. I saw mom pushing a cart and
pulling another cart behind her, walking next to her. Two
sons did nothing to help. I was thinking, why are
her kids not helping? They're old enough to push car.
Why is she doing everything and they're just walking and
(16:03):
skipping in La la land, not seeing that mom could
use their help with the carts full of groceries and items.
Growing up, my siblings and I always helped our parents.
We were the ones to push the cart in and
around the store. I was really upsetting and disappointing to
see this mom had no help. I am now a mom.
I would be disappointed in myself if I did not
raise a considerate helpful son. Okay, good point. Another thing
(16:26):
about Costco? Why are people so rude and entering through
the exit while others are trying to exit to the store,
the store, to their car. One time, it got so
crowded it took forever from my son and I to
get out. We'd walk a few steps forward, stop for
people coming in through the exit because they'd walk right
in front of us, walk a few more steps, stop
(16:47):
and go and stop, and finally we made it outside.
Once I shouted this is the exit, and I heard
a lady say, oh, well, the reaction was lame. I
didn't care. I needed to leave. I liked that Sam's
Club exit and entrance doors are separated. Thanks for reading.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
Yeah, I mean I go to Costco a lot.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
I feel the same way about Like, I just think
in terms of people at Costco, your bubble does not
exist anymore, and like any kind of consideration for others
does not exist anymore. You walk into Costco, you're fighting
for yourself, and everyone's like walking in front of you
because they're only thinking about themselves.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
So it's like a war zone in Costco.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
I've been in Costco about five times and it's just
fascinating that everything is sold in bulk. Yeah, you can't
buy a Gatorade six pack. You buy a twelve pack
of Gatorade six.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
Pack, twenty four pack?
Speaker 1 (17:39):
Yeah? Why not Sam's Club? Uh?
Speaker 3 (17:43):
Why don't I go to Samswoi.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
General in general? Because Costco is Costco Sam's Club. From
what I understand, it is the same thing.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
Yeah, it is the same thing.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
I just go to Costco because that's what was in
andover when I grew up, and it's what's closest to
my house now, it's right there.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
If there was a Sam's Club closer, would you go
to Sam's Club?
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (18:01):
If I had a membership. My mom got me the
membership to Costco. Okay, me and my sister share one.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Yeah, I'm going to start going to Costco more often
because I'm Sam's Club more often because to me, it's
less of a zoo. But it's the same thing. It's
a warehouse shopping experience. Yeah, but it's Sam's Club, not Costco.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Jenny and I said, we are going to start going
together because we're single ladies who live alone. So we
should buy the stuff and split it and split it
out in the parking lot.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
Oh so maybe we might interesting. What do you think
of costco versus Sam's Club and any other things you
want to talk about. We would love to hear from you.
We always love reading your emails. And that is it.
What are you doing on the fourth of July? Is
there something that we should mention? What is a cool
little tourist y town or what is a tourist spot
that is absolutely worth the hype? Send an email Ryans
(18:52):

What is a tourist trap that is absolutely worth it?
I would say Waldrug. I love Waldrug. A lot of
people love different with me on that, but I think
when you go across South Dakota, it's like it's such
a rolling hills expanse of nothing and cattle that you
look forward to a sign of civilization. Oh here's a town,
(00:20):
let's stop and get a pepsi. Oh here's a town.
Let's stop and get some corn nuts. Yeah, guess what
wal drug. And you see the signs all the way there,
and you get there and it's a little bit off
the road. It's not right there, it's a half a
mile off the road. And then you get there and
it's like, this is the oasis that I've been reading
about and hearing about all the way across South Dakota.
I love Waldrug. You get back on the freeway and
(00:42):
once again you're in the middle of an expanse of
fucking nothing. But I love Waldrug. It's probab favorite tourist trap.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
I have never been there, so I would have no idea.
I'm sure I would love it because Jenny was there
a handful of months ago and she said she even
like texted me when she was in there. She's like,
you would love it here at Waldrog and I'm like, oh,
bang it. I wish I always stop at like historical
like any not historical markers because those are sometimes boring,
(01:10):
but like kind of a fleshed out historical marker.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
There's one south.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
I don't know where it is south, but like it's
like a silhouette of different like cowboys.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
And Americans or something in Minnesota.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Yeah, okay, so and I stopped there and that was cool.
And like the Jolly Green Giant that's down south somewhere
on the.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Way to the sewer.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Yeah, I've stopped at the Jolly Green Giant. There's like,
I don't know that kind of stuff.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
I stopped at the Mayo Brother's house thirty years ago
when I first moved here. We were coming back from
man Cato. It's like, oh, the Mayo Brother's house before
they became you know, famous and successful. It's like, oh,
it's an old house. Yeah, so that was kind of disappointing,
but that's not really kind of what I'm talking about. Yeah,
I think that, like I don't know the Paul Bunyan statue.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
I have met there, okay, and there and that is
and I've been up there during like wintertime too. And honestly,
right where the Paul Bunyan statue is in Bamidgi, that
whole area is all like decked out in Christmas lights. Okay,
And I always stop because I'm like, this is so cute.
What a wonderful world we live in, La la la.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Mount Rushmore is a good one. A lot of people
are disappointed in Mount Rushmore. The Murdo Car Museum in
South Dakota is a good one. I'm trying to think
about the roadside. Devil's Tower was really cool, but I'm
trying to put it like a pin on what like
a definition of what is a tourist trap.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
I know, if you go up north and you're going
like towards Duluth, I always stop at Toby's for their
like giant sinmon rolls and giants.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
That's delicious.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
And then further up like past Duluth, I think towards
like two Harbors, there's a candy store that has like
cute little cutouts outside and they have tons of taffy.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
I had a salted grape taffy there. Okay, delicious.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
I will stop there, I still open. Will you Google
really take Betty's Pies?
Speaker 3 (03:01):
And I think Betty's Pies is still open okay, But.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
If you are going up in that direction, there's a
different pie place called The Rustic in that has better
pies period.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
It's just that they don't have the word pie in there.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
Can I ask you a question?
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Yeah? Sure.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
So this weekend I have literally nothing going on, so
I was talking to my friend Sarah about like planning
a little day trip and potentially either going to like Rochester,
Red Wing, New Olm, going somewhere just for the day.
What are your thoughts, feelings, recommendations.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Okay, New Olm is good for a half a day.
The drive down there is part of the experience in
New Olme. It's just a pretty drive. Yeah, you know,
there's you know, beagles, kaiser hop, there's a little bit
of shopping to be one transparent. The main street in
New Olm is it's okay, Okay, it's okay.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
And I've been there before, so that's where I'm like,
it was fun, but.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
They're trying for a still water vibe. Yeah, and with
shops and candy stores and little T shirt shops and
it's just not really making it's it's a cute little stop,
but it's not as still Water where you can spend
an afternoon wandering still Water. Yeah, I would say red
Wing is a better choice because you can go to
barn Bluff. There's a winery down there, there's the Saint
(04:20):
James Hotel, eat up on the roof. There's a great
restaurant up on the roof. If you don't want to
sit outside, you can sit inside and you're next to
the river. You can watch the boats and the barges
come by, and it's just pretty. There's like a museum
and there's good shopping. Their main street is not nearly
as good as still Water, but there's the red Wing
shoe store and that's kind of cool.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
Yeah, red Wing.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
I would go red Wing New Olm. I wish they
did better, but their main street is a little I
hate to say it because I think it's such a
cute town and I go there once a year. It's
a little bit dried up on the main street.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Sure.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
And it was, yeah, either red Wing, Rochester or New Elm.
And I've don't know Rochester Rochester. I wanted to go
there only because they have like three different and breweries
that sound pretty dope.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
So it's cool that you are. You're a beer drinking girl,
and I appreciate that because most women that I don't know,
and this is just my personal experience, they're not crazy
about beer.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
I love it. I had to teach myself how to
like it.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Though.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Blue Moon is a gateway beer. If you're looking to
get into beers.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
You put an orange in your Blue Moon.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Ah yeah, of initially, and honestly, I always go with
Blue Moon if there's nothing else to drink at the bar.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Same if I'm like, you know, pressure to order, like
what can I get you? And I'm like, ah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
yea ya, yah yeah yah, blue Moon with an orange.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Yes, delicious. Gateway Okay to craft beer.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
I'm going to give you a little place that is
it's a drive it's a two ish or so drive
away maybe too yeah, okay. It's Pipestone, Minnesota, and it's
a neglected, forgotten, very historic, very beautiful little The town
is okay. Again, they try for a touristy strip and
(05:52):
it never really came out. But they used to have
the Calumet Hotel, which is like an eighteen eighty hotel.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Cool.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
It looks like a castle. It's beautiful, but I think
it's closed. However, the Pipestone National Monument is in the
same condition it was all through history, and there are
carvings on the rocks of an expedition like Father Hennepen
that came through there in like eighteen oh four carved
his name on a rock and it's still there.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Now.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
I'm not exactly sure that it's Father Hennepin, but it's somebody, yeah,
And his name is still carved there on a rock.
And you walk through and there's beautiful waterfalls and its wilderness.
And the cool thing about pipestone is pipestone is an
actual rock. That's where the Indians would come. The Natives
would come from miles around to quarry the pipestone and
they would make pipes out of this Redish carvable stone.
(06:44):
And the natives still have the rights to do it.
The white people, Europeans, nobody else cannot quarry the pipestone,
but they quarry it still, and they carve right in
front of you, and you can buy the little things
that they sell.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
Cool.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
And I just fucking lovepestone, Okay, I wrote it down
it's a little bit of an ignored and there's not
really much else to do there. Yeah, there's a pizza ranch.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Okay, well it could potentially see other things along the way.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
On the way is Walnut Grove.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Yeah, oh my gosh, Okay, great, great, Okay, I'm writing
all these things down because I have literally three days
of nothing.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Okay, do you have anybody to do these things with?
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Yeah, my friend Sarah, I said, I would like to
do something with her. I said, if you want to
take a day trip somewhere. She'd be like, cool, we
can figure it out.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Sweet.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
What's up with Sarah? Is she single? Is she a single?
Speaker 3 (07:31):
My friend Sarah, she's from college.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
What do you think she's doing wrong that she's single?
Speaker 3 (07:36):
Probably not giving a shit as much as.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Like about her appearance or about her body.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Odor she's she's a beautiful woman. She just is like,
I don't need to find the love of my life.
So she's just kind of like she's on apps. She's
just like, yeah, gonna wanna just if if I want
a bit of ass for the night, I'm gonna find
a bit of ass.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
For the night.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Are you serious?
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Yeah, something like that. She wants to say a bit
of ass for the night.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
But she's just like, Yeah, I just kind of want
to what was it with you a couple of days ago,
you setting it to go down to Chicago and find
me some d Oh? Yeah, Now she did say this.
This is a quote from Bailey. I'm not trying to
put words in.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Her say that I did say that I have.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
It's I call him a long con because he's on
a back burner all the time. He is not anyone
who is actually someone I would probably date because he
lives in Chicago. But he lives in Chicago. We talk
usually every day just over Instagram.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Oh every day.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Yeah, but like.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
None of it's suggestive. Anytime I try to be suggestive,
it is not reciprocated at all.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
Were about himself. I'm pretty sure he just doesn't have
a lot of people to talk to.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Is that the worst when you flirt with somebody and
and they don't reciprocate back, and honestly.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Little things like well that's hot, or like, don't threaten
me with a good time crickets. Wow, I'll just like
move on talk about something else.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
But so, no D in Chicago, No.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
D in Chicago.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
He's not He's going out of town, and I literally
was like, so, what's there to do in Chicago over
Fourth of July weekend? Eyeballs? Eyeballs, eyeballs, And of course
I want him to be like, well, you could do
this D and he did not say that.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
He was like, wow, if he offered up the D
you would be down there.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Would have gone to Chicago this weekend. Yeah, because again
I have nothing going on.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Is he gay?
Speaker 3 (09:12):
I don't think so.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Okay. If you say you don't think so, then.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Then I mean, I know he has dated women in
the past, Okay, but I know gay people who have
done that too.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
That is true. Well, have fun this weekend on the
fourth of July. It's now supposed to be pretty darn
nice this weekend with the chance of rain, which I
can deal with. Last year was a total washout. I'm
gonna call Bingo at the chan fourth of July Bingo tent.
I think that's actually on the fourth of July at
eleven o'clock in the morning.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
If I have nothing going on, I'll show up.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
Come by and then the parade is you know, it's
your local parade with like the fire Department, the cub Scouts,
the girl scouts, clowns on bicycles, clowns, and marching bands.
So it's it's it's really cool. And so it's just
your typical small town parade. And then they have a
lot of events and blah blah blah, and they have
a big carnival beer garden in the Shanhassan City Center
lawn and it's just cool.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
I love a beer.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Yeah, So if you want.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
To come by, if I got none else going on,
I'll be.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
There Saturday and Sunday. I don't think we have any plans,
so looking forward to the three day weekend for sure.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
Sure.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
All right, let's get into the emails here. We have
just a couple little dry spell on the emails, but
I'm going to read this one from Alyssa. Hello, morning
show friends. It's an interesting concept to call you all
my friends when it's entirely one sided. But that's how
I think of you all. I love that, and people
actually say words to that effect all the time. You
don't know anything about me, but I know everything about you,
(10:35):
and I think of you guys as friends. I love that.
I graduated in two thousand and eight. I'd make her
about thirty five, so I can relate to a lot
what Ben, Jenny and Bailey say and Dave. I live
in Chaska and run Errand's in chan and I've seen
Susan out a few times. Love you all. I wanted
to share my recent zero res experience. I use them
(10:55):
a lot, probably a dozen times over the years. Always
had a great experience. The last time was no different.
But I had to laugh at what one of the
techs said to me. I've recently gotten more relaxed in
my skin about not always needed to be presentable, i e.
Hair and makeup done. I felt fine not being made
up to have a cleaning day at home. The tech
is making small talk and proceeded to ask if the
(11:17):
large family on the wall was a stock photo. Now
that's my family.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
He then corrected himself when he recognized my daughter. Oh,
she was there in the house of the time, and
he made no mention to me in the photo. I
couldn't stop laughing after he left. Photos attached to my
family picture and my look that day left me very humbled. Anyway,
it's your daily reminder two that it's okay to laugh
at yourself and not take life too seriously. So she
shows a picture of herself looking very I mean no makeup,
(11:46):
hair pulled back, a sweatshirt, very ordinary. But her family
photo is gorgeous. It is her and her family holding
hands in a field of wheat with hills in the background.
And it looks like when you buy a photo frame,
when you buy a photo frame at Target, that's the
paper photo that's in there, and it's a beautiful photo.
(12:07):
And he's like, oh, is that a stock photo? And
then it's like, oh, well, I recognize a little girl
and that's you wearing like beautiful clothing and your husband
is wearing like a very Minnesota kind of a Flannelly
shirt to.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Be worst of the tech was like, that's you. That's right, worse.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
So that is a cool story, Lissa, thank you for that.
Next one, let's see here we go. I have it
here somewhere here. It is Hello morning crew. Effective immediately.
Dave must stop saying touch and tickle On the air.
We were talking about morning sex yesterday and vont said
morning sex is the worst. It's overrated. Nobody likes morning sex.
(12:46):
And I said, no, you know, you roll over, you
wake up and there they are, and you know, you
give them a little touch and tiggle and a little
fondle and a little a little loving, and then it's
just kind of fun. That used to be my favorite time.
A little touch, a little tickle. I am listening to
the podcast. I cannot stop twitching every time he says it. EWW,
(13:09):
thank you for your attention to this matter, Signed a
concerned listener, So thank you for that. A little touch
and a little tickle. Another one started the pot topic.
I think everybody is deserving of the car of their dreams.
I find it weird when I see men drive convertibles,
(13:31):
and vont I totally agree morning sex is overrated, kind
of gross. Yeah, don't want none of it. So I'm
not sure why she brought up the car of their dreams.
But oh, I find it weird when I see men
drive convertibles. I'd never thought about that. I think convertibles
are awesome, and I think, here's the thing I see.
It's kind of a cliche. You see a corvettees like
(13:53):
the coolest American sports car there is. It looks like
a Ferrari if you don't know, very sleek and low,
and they're fucking loud, and they're very cool. Ninety nine
percent of the time it's an old, gray haired guy
driving it. It's kind of a cliche, and as I've
gotten older, I give them a pass. I used to
be like, who do you think you are trying to
be young in a corvette. I figure that here's a
(14:15):
guy who probably has wanted a Corvette his entire life,
couldn't afford one, and now he's sixty five and he
wants a Corvette before he dies. Right, exactly, go buy
your fucking corvette.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
Yeah, if you just.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Come into your money now, or like, if you've just
like now, I have the means. My kids are out
of the house, they're all supporting themselves.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
I have the means.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
I want to spend my money on a corvette or
a convertible or whatever.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
Then spend your money. Maybe I'm all for it.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
I love seeing little little old guys in their little
red convertibles that are from like nineteen sixty two and
they're just so happy.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Love that.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
I love seeing that too. You see like a nineteen
fifty seven Chevy or whatever, and it's like, you know,
it's a very nobody your age or even my age
wants that.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Now, Okay, those are my favorite cars. I would never
drive one, but they're gorgeous. I would love to get
married and like drive up to the ceremony in one
of those.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
Uh beautiful.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
That's kind of cool. I wonder like in another thirty years,
when all the people who own fifty seven corvettes are gone,
what will become of those where they'll still be collectors
for you know, your great grandpa's fifty seven Chevy.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
I think they.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Get rented a lot for like special occasions like weddings
and things. I like, I've looked into it because obviously,
you know, I'm a woman, so I've planned my wedding
even though I have zero prospects. But you can like
rent old classic cars from just random people, like oh,
I want to really go out to Wisconsin and rent
this fifty Yeah, driving.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Around next one and my first time writing in I'm
not good at storytelling, but I'll do my best. What
I saw at Costco disappointed me as putting my groceries
in my car. I saw mom pushing a cart and
pulling another cart behind her, walking next to her. Two
sons did nothing to help. I was thinking, why are
her kids not helping? They're old enough to push car.
Why is she doing everything and they're just walking and
(16:03):
skipping in La la land, not seeing that mom could
use their help with the carts full of groceries and items.
Growing up, my siblings and I always helped our parents.
We were the ones to push the cart in and
around the store. I was really upsetting and disappointing to
see this mom had no help. I am now a mom.
I would be disappointed in myself if I did not
raise a considerate helpful son. Okay, good point. Another thing
(16:26):
about Costco? Why are people so rude and entering through
the exit while others are trying to exit to the store,
the store, to their car. One time, it got so
crowded it took forever from my son and I to
get out. We'd walk a few steps forward, stop for
people coming in through the exit because they'd walk right
in front of us, walk a few more steps, stop
(16:47):
and go and stop, and finally we made it outside.
Once I shouted this is the exit, and I heard
a lady say, oh, well, the reaction was lame. I
didn't care. I needed to leave. I liked that Sam's
Club exit and entrance doors are separated. Thanks for reading.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
Yeah, I mean I go to Costco a lot.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
I feel the same way about Like, I just think
in terms of people at Costco, your bubble does not
exist anymore, and like any kind of consideration for others
does not exist anymore. You walk into Costco, you're fighting
for yourself, and everyone's like walking in front of you
because they're only thinking about themselves.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
So it's like a war zone in Costco.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
I've been in Costco about five times and it's just
fascinating that everything is sold in bulk. Yeah, you can't
buy a Gatorade six pack. You buy a twelve pack
of Gatorade six.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
Pack, twenty four pack?
Speaker 1 (17:39):
Yeah? Why not Sam's Club? Uh?
Speaker 3 (17:43):
Why don't I go to Samswoi.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
General in general? Because Costco is Costco Sam's Club. From
what I understand, it is the same thing.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
Yeah, it is the same thing.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
I just go to Costco because that's what was in
andover when I grew up, and it's what's closest to
my house now, it's right there.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
If there was a Sam's Club closer, would you go
to Sam's Club?
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (18:01):
If I had a membership. My mom got me the
membership to Costco. Okay, me and my sister share one.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Yeah, I'm going to start going to Costco more often
because I'm Sam's Club more often because to me, it's
less of a zoo. But it's the same thing. It's
a warehouse shopping experience. Yeah, but it's Sam's Club, not Costco.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Jenny and I said, we are going to start going
together because we're single ladies who live alone. So we
should buy the stuff and split it and split it
out in the parking lot.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
Oh so maybe we might interesting. What do you think
of costco versus Sam's Club and any other things you
want to talk about. We would love to hear from you.
We always love reading your emails. And that is it.
What are you doing on the fourth of July? Is
there something that we should mention? What is a cool
little tourist y town or what is a tourist spot
that is absolutely worth the hype? Send an email Ryans
