Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to the Minnesota. Goodbye, fifteen to twenty minutes of
free wheeling, free wheeling and fun. Ooh, anything you want
to bring up in particular.

Speaker 2 (00:10):
I went to go see Cabaret last night.

Speaker 3 (00:12):
If you listen to this and you would live in Minnesota,
go see Cabaret at the guth three. It was so
so good and I went with my friend Tim, and
Tim listens to the show. I don't know if Tim
listens to Minnesotadbye, but if he does, Hi, Tim, that's it, okay.

Speaker 1 (00:24):
Very nice, Okay. And Tim is not a romantic inte
where he's an old guy that you are friends with.

Speaker 3 (00:28):
Yes, he followed me when I first started subbing, and
we would just chat about theater. And now in the
last few months we've gone to see two shows together.
He's just like my theater friend who listens to the radio.
What's weird? And I know that you probably feel this
way about a lot of people too, is that they
know you but you don't know them me personally?

Speaker 1 (00:47):
Yeah right right right, yeah yeah, yeah, So.

Speaker 3 (00:49):
Like Tim knows me, but I don't necessarily know Tim. Okay,
So I'm trying to like get to know Tim. But
I've only seen him in person twice.

Speaker 1 (00:56):
That's very nice that you are, because he's like an
older guy and he's like, you know, facing some chatallenges
in life, and he's trying to go out and do
a lot of fun things.

Speaker 3 (01:02):
Indeed, he has a bucket list, and one of them
was to go to the Guthrie and I got to
go with him.

Speaker 2 (01:06):
We had Hella good seats. We were in row five, like.

Speaker 1 (01:08):
This, wow row. Yeah, I'll just swing that.

Speaker 3 (01:11):
He knows somebody theater and yeah, they gave us their seats,
so we had some really dope seats.

Speaker 2 (01:18):
You could see the sweat coming off of people's faces.

Speaker 1 (01:20):
Very nice. That's cool. Let's dig into the emails, which
is mostly what we do on the Minnesota Goodbye. Let's
do one from Amanda. She says, just a cute little
comment for the Minnesota Goodbye. On June twenty fourth, I
am a vet tech and my dogs come to work
with me every day, and we listened to the Minnesota
Goodbye on our drive home. Dave did an impression of
his dog Bernie barking, and both of my dogs did

(01:41):
the classic head tilt, ears up whining. I thought it
was cute as a prompt, maybe each of you should
do your best dog impression. I feel Bailey would hit
the mark for this one, and see who's got the
best one. Well, Jenny is out today, Vaunt is busily
working in the other studio. So it's just gonna be
me and you. So let's do you go ahead and
go first.

Speaker 2 (01:59):
Well, I'm gonna be like a yippie dog, so.

Speaker 1 (02:01):
Like, that's pretty good. I will do a bigger like
a I don't know, a sheep dog is kind of
a husky does Oh my god, that was the worst.

(02:21):
If you got them howling, they howl keep going and
keep going. So my dad would try and rile him up,
and my mom would be so pissed. When I was
a kid, we used to have a little poodle. His
name was cream Puff, and he was like a farm dog,
but he was a poodle, so he was shaggy, and
he was kind of dirty, and he was covered with
you know, whatever muddy rolled in. But he was a
poodle and I used to get a kick out of
making him howl. I'd be like and he would howl along,

(02:46):
and it was like the cutest thing. All right, Thank you, Amanda.
That was a lot of fun. Next email is from Ashley.
I wanted to say I love listening to you guys.
Like others before me, You've really been one of the
best crew in my many years of listening. I've listened
in the morning show since the mid two thousands. I've
been a faithful listener to the Minnesota Goodbye since its debut.

(03:07):
You guys rock. I can't tell you how much I
appreciate that, Ashley, because that is very sweet. And I
really like this crew too. I was talking to Rich yesterday.
I said, I think this crew. I don't call this
a crew, but I think this crew, the four of
us have really gelled. And it may have taken a while,
but I think that we just really kind of gel.
And I like everybody on the show, and nobody on

(03:30):
the show is a pain in the ass. And let
me tell you, I've had people on this show who
before and I'm never gonna name names that were a
genuine pain in the ass and they were disruptive in
their own way, and I'll bet you're really curious who
they were. And we always had a good show. And
sometimes even the people who are pain in the ass
can do a really good show. They're just a pain

(03:52):
in the ass? Yeah, am I a pain in the ass?

Speaker 3 (03:54):
Well, you know, if you know what they say, if
you don't think anyone else is a pain in the ass,
it means you are the pain in the ass.

Speaker 1 (04:01):
You know is what No, no, no, they say. If
you think every if you ever everybody else.

Speaker 3 (04:06):
He's a pain in the ass, you are THEO.

Speaker 1 (04:09):
So you're saying I'm a pain in the ass. I
was hoping you'd be like, no, You're delightful and charming, and.

Speaker 2 (04:17):
I don't think you're a pain in the ass or
pain and the grunion I don't know.

Speaker 1 (04:23):
Another listener same email was wondering where to get the
best season sour cream. I recommend the Tavern Grill. They
have several locations in the Metro area. Okay, cool, Dave.
I know a lot of people give you advice about Bernie.
I want to throw out another tidpit, start feeding meals,
to associate his kennel with good things. Well, the problem
we're having is we do not trust him all night

(04:44):
to wander around the house. We just don't know him
or trust him. We do leave him alone here and there,
like when I leave in the morning, I let him
out of his kennel, and I give him a little
tree and I scratch him, and I let him outside
the pee and what do his thing? But I but
then I leave him out because Susan wakes up an
hour later, so he's only out for an hour or so. Yeah,

(05:06):
so we put him in the kennel last night. Immediately
he barks in twos for about fifteen minutes. And we
we really don't know what to do, but they say,
but Ashley says, put him in there with food. You
might even try shutting the door, walking away and let
him eat by himself, depending on how comfortable he is
from the start. You can also introduce him to the

(05:27):
kennel during the day for short amounts of time while
you do things around the house shower, et cetera. Give
him a treat every now and then to a word
good behavior. If you read this, I would love a sticker.
My address is below. Dart Lick, dart lick from Ashley.

Speaker 2 (05:41):
You gave him a treat at night when you put
him in the kennel, don't you.

Speaker 1 (05:45):
I do. Yeah. I give him a little sedative, kind
of a calming little treat, and then I give him
another treat.

Speaker 2 (05:51):
I'm a sedative.

Speaker 1 (05:53):
Sedative is probably the wrong word for it.

Speaker 2 (05:55):
You give him a horse tranquilizer before I put him
in Taya.

Speaker 1 (05:59):
But he's getting better, but he is still he gets
in a little bit because he loves us so much.
He will literally follow me around the house, which is
just the cutest thing. I am absolutely his person. And
if I get up and walk into the office, he'll
walk into the office with me, and he'll sit there
for a minute and I can't scratch him constantly because
I got work to do. Then he'll just lay down

(06:20):
by my feet until I'm ready to go. But he
last night, I thought, okay, he's been with his for
about two weeks now, two weeks today. So I take
him out in the front yard and I'm kind of
like playing with him. Yeah, and I'm kind of like
I throw his ball. He's a little tennis ball, so
I throw it back and forth, and I'm between the
house and the streets, so I'm thinking I can block

(06:40):
him if he tries to run. No, that motherfucker ran
ran like a gallop like a horse down the street. No,
doesn't know what a street is. Ran out in the
middle of the street, runs away, will not come back.
To me. Two houses down. I start to lose sight
of him, and I'm like, oh my god, I'm going
to have to go back to the house, get Susan,

(07:01):
get the car. I'm gonna lose him. And I would
have lost him except he had to poop. So he
stops to poop, Oh, thank god, in the neighbor's house
yard two doors down. And so I caught him by
the collar and he would not let me drag him
by the collar, and I didn't want to drag him.
So I picked the boy up, yeah, forty pounds of him,

(07:23):
and carried him back to the house.

Speaker 2 (07:24):
Oh my god.

Speaker 1 (07:25):
Then I went and got the poop bags and cleaned
up from the neighbor's yard.

Speaker 2 (07:28):
So wow, that's terrifying.

Speaker 3 (07:30):
Why did I feel like that's you should have led
with that?

Speaker 2 (07:33):
That my dog got out and ran down the road.

Speaker 1 (07:35):
Well he did. And it's the second time he did that,
and the first time I you know, he did it
the first night night number one, he ran away three
or four houses down. So I got down on my
knees and I like burnie burning, and he came right
to me this time, did not He thought we were playing,
so he would run away he doesn't know boundaries, yards,

(07:55):
he doesn't know, but it was a little terrifying.

Speaker 2 (07:57):
Oh my gosh.

Speaker 1 (07:58):
And so there you go. Oh Ashley, I'm going to
send you a secretary breeze going to take care of
you for a staff rider sticker. Dave, this morning's from Michael.
You made a reference to smoking crack and compared that
to the person who had their feet on the dash
something that feels good but is dangerous. So in other words,
we had a big conversation. Woman wrote in or called

(08:21):
in yesterday about how she was saying, when you go
on a road trip or anywhere you're driving, do not
put your feet on the dashboard if you're the passenger.
She did, her husband rear into a pickup truck. The
airbags pop and it pulled her hip joints out of
her pelvis socket. Yeah, pulled them right out, showed us
the X ray, and broke her femur, the thickest bone

(08:42):
in your body. Broke it in two many surgeries and
she's still recovering. So she said, don't do it. And
I said, it's one of those things that it feels
really good when you do it, but the consequences are dire.
Like smoking crack. I'm sure it feels really good. Yeah,
but I don't want to be a crackhead.

Speaker 2 (08:58):
And have you smoked before day?

Speaker 3 (09:00):
No?

Speaker 1 (09:01):
I never No, I've never smoked cracked. No, not not cracked. Anyway,
you sound like Dave. You sound like I had a
lot of fun during your younger years. Did you experiment
when put drugs or drinking during that time? You got
a baby mama named Cricket, So I figured you dabbled
in some wild stuff. That is a funny. That's a
funny email. That's a good one. Uh No. The only
drug that I ever did was weed. I hated it.

(09:22):
It always made me paranoid. I never liked weed. And
one time at a big station party, we were all
at the morning guy's apartment and we all got in
the hot tub, including the hot thirty year old woman
general manager. It was her going away party and in
you know, in business. She was very buttoned up, very serious,
but very beautiful. There she is topless in the morning

(09:44):
man's jacuzzie. I had a naked saleswoman on my lap
who wanted to make out, but I was like, I
thought she was kidding. And that night the morning guy
took me to his bathroom and I did one line
of cocaine. Oh my god, David, did you never know that? No,
And I don't remember whether I it had no effect
on me. Yeah, I don't know, because i'd been drinking

(10:06):
or what. But that was the only time I've never
felt the desire to do any drugs.

Speaker 2 (10:09):
Oh my god.

Speaker 1 (10:10):
I figure life is already challenging enough without drugging your mind. Yeah,
so why make it more challenging.

Speaker 3 (10:17):
And I even hate drinking like beers before going to
see a show because I think, well then I won't
remember it as well or I will get to enjoy
it as much.

Speaker 2 (10:25):
But I can't believe you, okay, that one time.

Speaker 1 (10:28):
Well it was only one time. Here's one from Jesh.
She's talking about Bunker Beach. I was listening to the
Minnesota Goodbye and you were talking about Bunker Beach. Sadly,
most every day they've been hitting capacity early in the
day and they can't let more people in. If you
want to go at all in the day, you have
to show up super early. And I do think Egan

(10:49):
has a water park as well. I think Bunker Beach
came up because it just did. I think we said
something like, well, if you want to advertise, maybe you're
Bunker Beach. You want more people in there. Mm, well,
if you your business is at capacity, you don't want
to advertise anymore. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (11:03):
Yeah, that place is hopping and happening.

Speaker 1 (11:06):
U Joe from Turlock says, I'm back in Turlock. Had
amazing trip to Minnesota. I won't bory with the details,
but Amanda did love the cherry and the spoon and
called it the Prima Ballerina of Minnesota. But I didn't
get a chance that our neighbors and friends from California,
they literally lived fifty feet away. They were in Minnesota

(11:28):
during the same time for work stuff. What are the odds?
So we definitely took him in Matt's Bar and got
ourselves a second Juicy Lucy and he spelled juicy correctly. Wow,
there's no eye in juicy.

Speaker 2 (11:38):
Not in that one.

Speaker 1 (11:40):
Uh. And we had breakfast at the Good Day Cafe
Bad Day Bar. Yes, that's right across the street.

Speaker 2 (11:46):
Yeah, that's really close. Yeah, I've never been there. I
wonder if it's good.

Speaker 1 (11:50):
I went there once in the line was it was
like a Sunday morning. The wait was so long that
we said no over mind. Yeah, have you had an
experience where you ran into somebody you knew an unexpected place?
Joe from Turlock, California. Yes, I mean I was walking
through Excelsior and I was walking by Lagos Tacos. I

(12:10):
look in the window and there's my ex fiance having
lunch with a friend, and I'd like waved and she waved,
and it was like, kind of weird. We're on very
good terms. But I think the weirdest was I was
and I didn't know them, but was taking the tour
of Omaha Beach and Normandy in France where they did
the invasions during World War Two. And I'm on the

(12:31):
tour bus and we'd taken a tour from Paris. We
drove and it took a couple of hours to get there,
and a couple turns around is like, are you Dave
Ryan from KTWB. And I'm like here, I am in Normandy, France.
And I didn't know them, but I think everybody does
once in a while. It's just a giant coincidence that
you will. I was at Treasure Island a few years

(12:54):
ago on New Year's Eve. Treasure Island on New Year's Eve,
expect to see anybody, you know, Yeah, and all of
a sudden, boom, there is a very good friend of mine.
So it's just you know, what about you?

Speaker 2 (13:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (13:07):
I was once in Universal Studios in Florida in line
for the Harry Potter ride, and like four people behind
me was my Spanish teacher from high school, and that
was kind of I feel like that was the one
singular time where I saw somebody that I can remember that.
I was like, how on earth of all the places,

(13:28):
I mean, it's not as cool as normandy, but like
we could have been in the same park at the
same time, but we happen to be in the same
park at the same time, in the same line, five
people away from each other, Me and my former Spanish teacher.

Speaker 1 (13:41):
So it's just it's just weird. I mean, I guess,
you know, if you it's it's a big coincidence, but
it just happens. I think if you live long enough,
you're gonna rento these weird coincidences. Yeah, so all right,
don't say a name and listen for a while. Heard
Dave and Bailey talk about people from their past that
they really cared about them. So I took that as

(14:02):
a reason to event here too. I had a really
good friend and roommate I've known for years. We had
a lot of heart to heart, deep conversations. I also
had a boyfriend that I dated for several years, one
that even told my mom that he was the I
told my mom he was the one. Well, one day

(14:23):
she moved out spontaneously, zero heads up, and he broke
up with me, only to find out they are now
together best friend and soulmate. Wow, dumper move in together.

Speaker 2 (14:37):
That's awful.

Speaker 1 (14:38):
I've tried reaching out to both people, asking for clarity
or to catch up or anything. I've received crickets. It's
been over a year now and I haven't spoken to
either since. That is heartbreaking, awful.

Speaker 2 (14:49):
That sounds like a movie. That doesn't sound real.

Speaker 1 (14:51):
Wow, it does. It's been one of the hardest things
to go through, but life moves on. Sometimes I wonder
if it's something I did or something I said to
not even want me in their lives anymore. You guys
are amazing. I listened daily. I hope everyone has a
fantastic day. That is. I don't think that you did anything.
I think that they probably were just drawn to each other,

(15:14):
probably one night they started hooking up. Yeah, and I'm
going to guess that it won't work out with them,
And I think the reason is because they were probably
lustily physically attracted to each other and thought that was
a relationship where you really had a deep relationship with
both of them. Yeah, and I'll bet they both probably

(15:34):
regret it, and I'm gonna guess it won't last.

Speaker 2 (15:36):
Well, hopefully because that it'll feel like justice in that sense. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (15:40):
I still think about the people who have like dumped me,
and I think the most powerful one to me was
the one who I helped and let live in my
house in Colorado for a month and then she like
totally dumped me because she thought that I was spying
on her with the security camera. Yeah, and of course
I promise on my kids, I don't, I would never
do that, and the security camera didn't work. I don't.

(16:03):
I don't. It's hanging there in the living room. I
don't know how to access it. It's fifteen years old.
It's just it is. And it's got an index card
taped over the lens because I put the index card
there because when I have friends come by and stay there,
I don't want them to think that I'm watching them.

Speaker 2 (16:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (16:21):
So and so the next day she left and I
have not heard from her since.

Speaker 2 (16:26):
Wow, that's sad.

Speaker 1 (16:28):
Yeah, it was just it was and I was I
really loved this person. And I've reached out a couple
of times since then and said, hey, some time has passed.
It's been a few years, you know, I hope you're
doing okay. Nothing. And I sent it to her email
because I'm gonna get she probably changed her phone number
or blocked me or whatever. Yeah, but nobody changes their email,
So I don't know. It's just it's hurtful. It's like

(16:49):
you do something really nice for someone and then that's
what you get. And i'd love to get I'd love
to explain. I promise I wasn't spying.

Speaker 2 (16:57):
On you exactly. It's what did I do? I don't
know what I did.

Speaker 1 (17:00):
Yeah, you do. You wonder what in the world you did?
I think I have one more one second, I gotta
tap in the right place and nope, Oh, this is Stephanie,
and she writes in she basically writes quiz questions about
the Dave Ryan in the Morning Show. And so we've
kind of saved these, but I'll give you some right now.

(17:23):
Finish this phrase that Dave's dad used to say, as
long as it's blank, I don't need it to be cold.

Speaker 2 (17:30):
As long as it's blank.

Speaker 1 (17:31):
He would refer to this when drinking water.

Speaker 2 (17:34):
As long as it's fresh.

Speaker 1 (17:35):
As long as it's wet, I don't need to be cold,
which Dave Ryan Show member can write. A unicycle Jenny,
I'm very good Bailey named her cat after whom Katie
can out. What item does Jenny and Bailey always keep
when they are gifted them?

Speaker 2 (17:55):
Oh my gosh, she says.

Speaker 1 (17:56):
Cards.

Speaker 3 (17:57):
Oh yeah, bah I do Birthday, Christmas car I do
keep all cards.

Speaker 1 (18:01):
Yes, Bailey sent me a postcard yesterday, and I thought
it was very sweet because you were at the Merry
Go Round Museum in Sandusky, Sandusky, Ohio. It's interesting that
you were in Sandusky, Ohio, home of the world's kick
ass amusement park, Cedar Point. Yeah, yet you went to
the Merry Go Round Museum.

Speaker 2 (18:20):
We did well.

Speaker 3 (18:21):
We went to Cedar Point a lot as kids, and
then we just kind of like aged out of it.

Speaker 2 (18:26):
Like we're not necessarily roller coaster people.

Speaker 1 (18:29):
H yeah, I can see that.

Speaker 2 (18:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (18:30):
So the last time I went was probably in like
twenty twenty one or something to Cedar Point and that
was like the first time in like ten years. So
my niece is only two and a half, so maybe
in the next couple of years we'll go.

Speaker 2 (18:42):
Me and my sister were talking about it.

Speaker 3 (18:43):
We thought, even when my grandmother dies, because she's ninety
four and we go to Ohio to visit her.

Speaker 2 (18:48):
So even when she is gone, we'll probably still try
and make.

Speaker 3 (18:51):
It out to Ohio every every year or something, just
to you know, relive memories.

Speaker 2 (18:56):
I got it, Yeah, okay, and then we'll go to
Cedar Point again.

Speaker 1 (19:00):
I went to see her Point once when I lived
in Columbus, Ohio, and it was awesome. And then I
went with my friend Brentley about fifteen years ago. We
were at because he lived in Toledo, So we drove
to Sandusky, an hour or so away, and it was
it was a day like this. It was kind of rainy, whatever,
but we thought, well, it's going to be open whatever.
There was no website, internet, social media to see whether

(19:24):
they were open, so we just drove and took our chances.
We walked in and yes, you could pay for your
admission into the park, but most of the big rides.

Speaker 2 (19:31):
Were closed, dang it because it was wet.

Speaker 1 (19:32):
Because it was wet and there was a risk of
lightning or whatever, so we said no thanks, and that
was the main purpose of our trip to Ohio.

Speaker 2 (19:40):
What a bomber.

Speaker 1 (19:41):
Yeah, it really kind of was.

Speaker 2 (19:42):
It is fun.

Speaker 1 (19:43):
I'll give you a couple of more because these are
pretty funny. What was the amount of the check that
was written to the Hawk to a girl and posted
on social media because we offered her a job at
Katie WB and we wrote a check. How much was
it four?

Speaker 2 (19:56):
Wasn't it like fifmackers?

Speaker 1 (20:00):
Smackers? Yes?

Speaker 3 (20:02):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (20:03):
What did Dave do to bribe Allison to get her
to go on the log ride at Camp Snoopy? What
did I buy her? Oh?

Speaker 2 (20:12):
She was little and she like had a fit. Oh
my gosh, I don't remember.

Speaker 1 (20:16):
Candy Nicholas.

Speaker 3 (20:17):
Candy Nicholas, Yes exactly, yes, yes, yes, yes, see.

Speaker 1 (20:20):
I need And let's see what holiday was Jenny celebrating
when she cut her foot so badly she needed to
go to the hospital.

Speaker 2 (20:29):
Fourth of July?

Speaker 1 (20:29):
Yes, that is correct. Yeah, what are you doing for
the fourth of July?

Speaker 3 (20:32):
I don't know, Okay, I was gonna try and go
on like a weekend trip. Because it's the fourth of
July is on a Friday, we get the day off.
So I thought, Okay, I'm going to go out to Chicago.
I know a handful of people in Chicago, Like most
of those people will not be there, So now I'm
not going to go to Chicago. Oh, but I still
want to do something. I truly have zero things written

(20:53):
in my planner for next weekend, which is so very
unlike me.

Speaker 2 (20:58):
But I'll probably just do jack shit nothing. What are
you doing?

Speaker 3 (21:02):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (21:02):
Okay, Well, we love the Fourth of July, and Chan
hasn't puts on just a great Fourth of July thing
in City Center Park. They bring in a carnival, so
there's rides and booths to throw a ball at the clown,
and there's all kinds of different food, everything from your
hot dog to your Vietnamese egg rolls to the big
thing that kind of looks like hot dish but it's spanning.

(21:25):
It's just great. There's a big beer garden and they
have bands and it's just so fun.

Speaker 2 (21:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (21:31):
And then on I think July fourth morning, I'm calling Bingo.
I think that starts at eleven o'clock nice and that's
a lot. And then there's the parade.

Speaker 2 (21:40):
A parade, yeah, and who does a love a parade?

Speaker 1 (21:42):
Yeah, it's funny. The only thing I don't like in
parades are politicians because it's like, you know what, politics
are so dicey.

Speaker 2 (21:50):
Now.

Speaker 1 (21:51):
It used to be like, if anybody from either party
came by and they're sitting on the back deck of
a convertible Mustang, you'd be like, Okay, wave Adam and
they're gonna throw candy whatever. That's cool. Yeah, but now
there's just so much division that there's like silence. Sometimes
you get like silence when they drive by.

Speaker 2 (22:07):
I'm just so much handy thrown out. That's all I want.

Speaker 1 (22:10):
That's going to wrap it up for the Minnesota Goodbye.
Send in your emails. We'd love to read your email
in the next Minnesota Goodbye. The address is, as always,
