Speaker 1 (00:00):
I looked at the email, and the first thing I
saw was a long, long dialogue of chat GPT, and
I'm like, oh, I couldn't figure out why, but somebody
said that if you can, don't want to do therapy,
And I don't want to do therapy because I'm worried
that my therapist would be a big listener of the
show and she would find out that I'm a plushy.
Is it a plushy that I hurry a free Yeah?

(00:21):
And so I'd be embarrassed that I'm I'm a furry
I get turned on by, you know, stuffed animal costumes.
And then she would go home and tell her partner, Yeah,
I therapized Dave Ryan today. You know what he's into
stuffed animal costumes. They'd all laugh and they'd get on like,
you know, I don't know Instagram and say guess what day.
So I'm worried.

Speaker 2 (00:39):
If the therapist did that, So can't do that.

Speaker 1 (00:42):
Okay, here's here's another to be a little bit more serious,
even if she was kept it to herself. Let's say
I told Jenny something really embarrassing and personal. I know
you wouldn't tell anybody, but I'd still be embarrassed to
tell you because I know you. You know what I mean.

Speaker 3 (00:58):
So that's why you don't tell me. You tell someone
who you don't know, like a therapist.

Speaker 1 (01:02):
Well, what if she listens to the show?

Speaker 2 (01:04):
I mean, there is at risk or I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:07):
I mean I've been to therapy and I've had two
different therapists and one of them was not local, and
I did talk about how I broke up with my
other one because I didn't like that she knew who
I was from the show.

Speaker 1 (01:16):
Yeah, I think that's important. Yeah, maybe that would be
My first question is like, do you listen to Katie?
Would be because if you do, I do not want
to come to you.

Speaker 2 (01:23):
Yeah. I think a lot of therapists listen to NPR.

Speaker 3 (01:26):
So okay, I know like one in town that someone
went to and they're like, don't worry, I don't listen
to anything besides NPR.

Speaker 1 (01:35):
All right, let's go to the next one. Anna's an
email is accompanied by a photo of a giant pickup truck,
so let's dive in. Yesterday, you guys talked about what
kind of car you might like and how you didn't
have a need for a big truck. Well, I drive
a giant truck and I love it. It's my dream
truck and f two fifty diesel crew cab, biggest back

(01:57):
seat with a long box eight foot long. She's a beast.
My girl is absolutely miserable to park anywhere because of
her giant but dunka donk. But I wouldn't trade her
for anything. Although I take up at least two parking
spots wherever I go, sometimes we take up four so
there's room to get kids in and out of their
car seats without risking dinging the cars next to us.
That being said, I do haul my horses weekly and

(02:19):
I need every bit of power she's got available. You
got a truck, you better be using it as a
truck and not a toy. Okay, have a great day,
and don't park right beside giant trucks if you can
help it. Attached is a picture of me squeezing into
a single spot with no more than six inches on
either side before we cross the white line. That is
a beautiful truck. I am not a car truck person,
but that is a beautiful looking truck. And I'm glad

(02:41):
Anna that you love your truck, and I'm glad that
you use it for hauling shit, because I think if
you're like a single person, you have like a big
truck like that that gets about twelve miles of the gallon.
It's just not a good idea, just bad for the environment. Okay.
Next one from chap Oh Chow writes once in a

(03:01):
while says, hey, gang, you ever had a job you
didn't care for and just there to make money so
you go through doing the bare minimum. It's not that
I don't want to give my all. It's just that
the company ways and culture doesn't fit with me. Micromanaging
and don't give your employees. And he's saying, what their goat,
what's going on, et cetera. I've never had a job
where I did just the bare minimum. I just don't.

(03:23):
I think that I've been fortunate enough to like pretty
much every job that I've ever had, even when I
worked at Sambo's. Ooh. I was at Sambo's, which is
like at Denny's, and I was a dishwasher and it
was work. I mean when you were watching dishes, there
were toilets to clean, there were grease traps to dump,
there was everything to do. And I never slacked. Yeah,

(03:45):
always did my best, because that's kind of how I
was raised. Yeah, and then every radio job I've loved,
so I always did way more than the minimum.

Speaker 4 (03:52):
I can only imagine, not like necessarily doing the minimum.
But when I was in college, I was an RA
for a few years, and then I was security my
senior year, where you work like the six am to
or twelve am to six am shift, and you have
to do like rounds of the building. And there were
some night security people that were kind of just like

(04:12):
on a weird power trip and they would catch like
everyone possible, and they would write people up left and right,
and they'd be like.

Speaker 2 (04:20):
Oh, I can't believe you were drinking in your room.

Speaker 4 (04:21):
And I would be the night security person that would
walk by, hear a bottle clink, stand outside for thirty
more seconds, and if I didn't hear a bottle clink again,
I would say, well, what if I had walked by
thirty seconds later? And I would just keep going because
if they're being quiet in their room, and then.

Speaker 2 (04:37):
Just occasionally you'd hear like ding ding hahha.

Speaker 4 (04:39):
Yeah, fine, as long as you're in your room. If
you spill out into the hallway, okay, now I have
to write you up.

Speaker 2 (04:45):
But I'm not the guy who's like, hey, this is
night security. I hear bottles everyone give me.

Speaker 1 (04:50):
I like that attitude. Yeah, because yeah, that's I think
kind of how it is in college. You kind of
have to look the other way at some underage drinking, yeah,
because it's it's.

Speaker 2 (04:58):
Gonna part of a in college.

Speaker 4 (05:00):
So that's the only job I kind of was like
not slacking. I just don't go above and beyond.

Speaker 3 (05:05):
Yeah, I don't think I ever have slacked at jobs.
The only thing I would say is I probably have
days where I was a little lazier, because from probably
like twenty to twenty nine thirty, I had two to
three jobs and then also was going to school or
doing whatever else, had internships and stuff. So I think
there was probably days where I was very burnt out
from working so many different jobs that maybe one of
them didn't get my all that day. But No, I

(05:26):
definitely have never slacked.

Speaker 1 (05:27):
Jenny and I could think of at least one person
that kind of slacked at their job and kind of
did a half assed kind of a job, but we're
not going to say anything about who they were. Fallon
sallin slacker, No, Falon's very ambitious next one. Sharon writes
in Hello first time Minnesota, goodbye writer here. I once
wrote an email the day back when there was this

(05:49):
psychic I believe her name was Aleen Cunningham, often featured
on the show. So I'm a proud p one longtime listener.
Yes you are, because Allen Cunningham has not been on
our show in it least twenty five, probably closer to
thirty years.

Speaker 2 (06:03):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (06:03):
And Aleen was a great psychic and she was wonderful.
She had kind of a Southern charm, and she's this
old lady, and then she started to kind of lose
her fast pitch fastball, and so we just kind of
we found Gary Spivey. And then Gary Spivey was our
psychic for many years, and I guess you could say
he still kind of is. So she goes on to

(06:25):
say I thought about writing many times. But here's my
funny haha that happened on Sunday. I was listening to
the Best Clips podcast where you talked about men in
their bulging packages. I'm multitasking and sending a text to
a friend when I typed, please check your package instead
of please check your calendar. Had a good chuckle, decided
this would be a good topic for my first email.

(06:45):
I love that. I would love a staff writer sticker.
Thank you for all you do. Dart, Dart, dart and
no lickety Lickerson Sharon in Shoreview. I will send you
a sticker. Actually, shout out to Secretary Brie, who is
gonna she takes her all the stickers and Breeze coming
in tomorrow. Hi, oh yay, Yeah, so that'll be kind
of cool. And then we had Joe from Turlock, California

(07:08):
come in last week. This was just such a flattering,
cool thing that he found our show on iHeartRadio listened
so much that he wanted to come to Minnesota to
visit and see all the things that we talk about.
So he went to Mall of America, He went to
the five eight Club, he went to Matt's Bar, and
I think he went to the Arboretum.

Speaker 4 (07:29):
He went to he definitely went to the Cherry and
the Spoon. I recommended Brian Lake bull and to go
see improvity. Did both of those things really? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (07:35):
That which is exciting. Did he look like he did fall? Yes,
he did that too, I think so. Yeah, he did
like all of the things that's so neat.

Speaker 1 (07:42):
Hey, by any chance you listen in your outside of
the state, send me an email and let us know
where you live and how you still listen to the
Minnesota Goodbye. Maybe you used to live here and now
you live in Knoxville and you still listen to the
Minnesota Goodbye. Let me know. Send an email. Ryan Show
at kadiwb dot com. Thank you, Sharon for the entertaining email.
Next one to my favorite morning show crew. But mostly Dave,

(08:06):
I'm happy you found your Bernie. Is his kennel in
one of your two bedrooms. Now here's the problem with Bernie.
We love him, Susan adores him. She went out and
bought a car bed seat for the back seat so
he doesn't just stand in the back seat. He gets
delayed down in a bed that's strapped in or something.

Speaker 2 (08:28):
On the Bernie Tails Instagram.

Speaker 1 (08:33):
You can follow him on the Bernie Tails t A
I L s and anyway. He barks at night. And
last night I got home from Colorado, hadn't seen him
in about five days, and he went crazy when he
saw me. He was so happy he couldn't control himself.
His whole body wagged. You know when their whole body
and he's spinning around, and I just gave him so

(08:54):
much scratches and love, and then I put him to
bed and his kennel and he barked kind of like
not just a group like he used to, but more
like for about an hour. And I put in the
ear plugs, and so we're confused and be fuddled on
what to do. And we tried giving him like a

(09:16):
besedation kind of a treat to calm him down, a
calming treat. We put Susan's shirt in there, and so
we're trying to figure it out. And I said, maybe
he just needs to sleep with me, and Susan's like, no,
I don't want him upstairs. I don't want to give
him free rein of the house at night. And I'm like, okay,
well I think it's going to come to that anyway.

(09:38):
This person says, is your kennel in one of your
two bedrooms, because although he would still probably bark a
couple of nights, it does make a big difference. They
can hear you breathing and feel more comfortable. His barking
should cease after a few nights of not giving in
and letting him out in the morning. I've heard it
said with the crate in your bedroom, they have the
feeling of being safe during sleeping time, which helps them relax.

(09:58):
Another trick is to cover his kennel with a blanket,
maybe a sheet in this heat. Oh that's a good point.

Speaker 2 (10:04):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (10:04):
It's also okay to move his create to another part
of the house, like the living room or daytime for
daytime if you like. I don't know if you use
it when you're both gone. In that case, you probably
want to move it. If you have or have two
kennel's best wishes for peaceful night sleeping, I would love
a sticker for my laptop. All right, friends forever Christy,
and I'm going to take a picture of your email
address right now, Jenny. Any thoughts on the advice with

(10:27):
the dog.

Speaker 3 (10:28):
Hey, you know, I really can't give advice on that
because I do watch dogs a lot, but.

Speaker 2 (10:32):
I don't train them.

Speaker 3 (10:33):
They're all mostly trained when I watch them, and when
we used to have Mickey, she was trained already too,
So I'm sorry I got no.

Speaker 2 (10:42):
Help for you.

Speaker 1 (10:43):
Okay, let's see this. One says I'll be visiting Minnesota.
I haven't been there in a long time in thirteen years,
but I used to be there. I'm visiting with my
eight and thirteen year olds this summer, hitting up mall
of America. But what other suggestions do you have for
fun family activities? Also, who has the best season sour cream? Okay,

(11:06):
anybody know season sour cream? I would say Maynards, Maynards.
Maybe I've lived in Virginia, Alabama, now Florida, and season
sour cream is not a thing down south. I missed
that in so many other things about Minnesota. Thanks for reading. Cheers,
licks and darts from Sunny Navarre, Florida. Rachel I would say, yeah,

(11:28):
Maynards and Excelsior. Take the kids. Well, I don't know
if the kids are gonna love Maynards, but it's kind
of cool. If you go to Maynards, you can walk
around downtown Excelsior and there's a toy store. Excelsior is
really cool. There's a toy store at the end of
the block. There's a candy store, there's an ice cream store,
there's a bookstore.

Speaker 3 (11:47):
In terms of things to do with the kids, you
should go to the Minnesota's largest candy store in Georgia.

Speaker 1 (11:53):
That is Jenny perfect. I can't think of a better answer. Yeah,
if you've not been to the Minnesota's largest candy store,
it's so cool, it is.

Speaker 4 (12:02):
It is, And well, I mean, just gosh, are we
just thinking like anything kids would like to do?

Speaker 2 (12:06):
Did she say how old her kids were?

Speaker 1 (12:07):
Eight and thirteen?

Speaker 4 (12:08):
Eight and thirteen? I mean Nickelodeon Universe is always fine.
They're America, probably do that, but like all America, yes, fun,
but Nickelodeon Universe.

Speaker 2 (12:18):
Specifically, like just go in, ride a couple of rides?
Why not?

Speaker 1 (12:21):
What else is there for kids? I don't have kids
that you know. The zoo, the Minnesota.

Speaker 2 (12:24):
Zoo, yeah, the Como Zoo as well.

Speaker 3 (12:27):
The lakes in Minneapolis they offer like paddle boards, kayaking
or like the little pedal paddle boat thing.

Speaker 2 (12:33):
Yeah, paddle boats. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (12:34):
I think Lake Nicomas might have swans, I forget or.

Speaker 4 (12:39):
Lake Carrie, one of those two definitely has paddle boats
and they might be swans.

Speaker 3 (12:42):
You could look up either wheel Fun Rentals wheel as
in w H E E. L Fun Rentals and see
what locations they all have. But I feel like that's
a very Minnesotan activity to do if you're looking for
a true kind of like Twin Cities experience. Yeah, get
out on one of the little lakes and do something
like kayak or whatever with the kids.

Speaker 4 (13:04):
Do the little paddle boating and then sit on the
beach and then just like run around on the water.
Kids love water, regardless of age eight thirteen.

Speaker 2 (13:10):
They love water.

Speaker 1 (13:10):
Kids love water.

Speaker 2 (13:11):
They love water.

Speaker 1 (13:13):
Is there any what good water parks that are outdoor
water parks around here? Bunker Beach Is that in Burnsville. No,
that's in Coon Rapids area. It's outdoors.

Speaker 4 (13:22):
It is outdoors, and it's huge, and they have like
a wave pool, They've got like slides everything. My ex
boyfriend used to work there and all of his friends
were lifeguards. So I know a lot about Bunker Beach.

Speaker 2 (13:33):
It's dope. I had never even heard of that. Oh
I haven't, either of you know.

Speaker 1 (13:37):
What they need to do, Seriously, they need to advertise
on the radio, because how are you going to get
the word out? How can I live here in Minnesota
and never heard of Bunker Beach.

Speaker 2 (13:44):
Yes, I don't know. I mean it is northern suburbs.

Speaker 1 (13:47):
But still, I mean, come on, Bunker Beach. Bunker Valley
Fair advertises on KTWGB, and everybody knows what Valley Fair is,
so Bunker Beach unless you've already reached capacity and you
don't want to make any more money, Uncle Beach needs
to advertise on KTWB because if you got something, It's
kind of like people always say you never mentioned the
Minnesota Aurora women's soccer team or whatever it is, and

(14:09):
I say they don't get the word out well enough,
like is it the Minnesota Frost women's hockey team something
like yeah, I think they were in the playoffs and
somebody said they want then they Okay, they need to
do a better job of getting the word out. And
because we never hear anything, I don't see them on
social media and maybe it's me and I'm not following
the right algorithm or whatever. But whenever somebody says you

(14:31):
didn't talk about how it's National Appreciate a Nurse Day,
I'll be like, they're not doing a good enough job
a getting the word out. Is it on me or
is it on them? Because I don't and nurse is
a bad example because they do a great job that
one out. But let's say it's it's the National Tattoo
Artists Day and They're like, you guys mentioned the cops
and the nurses and the teachers. It's National Tattoo Artists

(14:52):
Day and you didn't even mention it. It's like, bitch,
you guys got to do a better job a getting
the word out. Oh we're taking a break. Okay, well
we're done. Actually I'm done.

Speaker 4 (15:04):
Are you done?

Speaker 1 (15:04):
I'm done. I'm done. Love to get you on Bunker Beach.
Send me an email. We'll get you on KWB so
we can get the word out. And send your email
to Ryan Show at KDWB dot com. Bunker Beach is
what it's called. Bunker Beach
