Speaker 1 (00:00):
Every day after the show or during a break of
the show, we do the Minnesota Goodbye, and it's basically
just fifteen twenty minutes of bonus stuff that we don't
get to on the show. It's a little bit different,
and it's just kind of like more freewheeling emails mostly
and anything else that we want to bring up. Let's
get started with this email to Ryan Show at KTWW
(00:24):
dot com. Hello, says Abigail. Funny story. Last week, I'm
donating blood and is a comforting surprise. KDWB was playing
over the speakers. It was afternoon, so it was Ryan
Seacrest on the air, not you guys. The lab tech says,
I don't even know what station this is, and I said, well,
that's KATWB. I listened every day. He says, is that
Dave Ryan guy still on? Heck? Yes he is. Made
(00:48):
me laugh. I ran into a guy at the RV
or that we were camping the other day at the
Jordan Koa, and the guy next to me I could
tell he was like experienced RV guy and he's probably forty,
got his family there. I could tell he knew what
he was doing. And I said, Hey, what is this doing?
What does this do on my RV. He's like, oh, well,
let me help you out. Blah blah blah. He's like,
(01:08):
your voice sounds familiar. And I get that all the
time and I usually say do you watch a lot
of porn? Yeah, which makes him laugh. But this guy
didn't seem like that was the right audience. So I said, well,
I work at KATWB. He's like, are you Dave Ryan?
You're still on there? And I didn't take that as
like an insult. I just took it as like he
doesn't listen anymore. But he used to listen all the time,
(01:30):
So for him to say you're still on there was
kind of like, yeah, I get it. It's been a
long ass time.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
M hm, a long ass time.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Yes. Also RV recommendation for Dave. You got to check
out Crosby, Minnesota this year. Cayu and a campground is awesome.
Nothing fancy, but nice and quiet. You could bring your
e bike. There are tons of beautiful paved trails, plus
a cute downtown to explore. Thanks for making me smile
every single day. I'd love a sticker.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
And he's got a travel guide for Crosby, Minnesota.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
What's that all?
Speaker 3 (01:59):
About well, just on my travel blog meet me off
grid dot com, and there's a whole Minnesota section, and
so I have one that talks about all the fun
things you can do in and around Crosby and Cayunas,
like the big mountain biking paths up there, with like
the minor lakes, so you can go swimming in the
minor lakes, you can go mountain biking, you can take
(02:19):
your e bikes on trails. Obviously not on the mountain
bike paths, but those other trails that kind of circle
around the mountain bike tracks.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Where is Crosby.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
It's about two hours north. It's north of Malax.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Oh, it's up there. Then Okay, gosh, it's.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
Close to Brainerd. Okay, that's where we both discovered our
hate for or when I was visiting Crosby, you drove
up to Brainerd and we both discovered our dislike for Brainerd.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Well, we'd rode up there on the motorcycles a year
or two ago and we thought, oh, Brainard. I mean,
it's it's Brainerd. It's got to be beautiful. So we found
downtown Brainerd and I'm not trying to be mean, but
it was a dried up downtown Main Street, and I
thought it would look like still water or Excelsior. Yeah,
and it was dried up. And we found a bar
and we sat there and had a couple of drinks
and watched TV or whatever. But I guess north of that,
(03:05):
what's the city.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
North of the town. And I was just up there
like a month ago, and it is. It's got like
the cute little shops and the cute little like ice
cream place and stuff like that. That's where you want
to go for that kind of still water vibe.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
I feel bad for little towns like Brainerd because they
got to try. It's like, how do you draw businesses
into your downtown if there's nobody coming there because there
are no businesses, it's a catch twenty two. Well, I'm
not going to build there because nobody comes there. Well,
nobody comes there because there's no stores there. Then how
do you I don't know how they do it. I mean, like,
(03:38):
you take a town like downtown Hopkins. Has it always
been thriving like that? Hopkins is cool?
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Yeah, Well it makes me even think like of downtown,
like not downtown, but you know uptown where there's so
many empty places in uptown. But there's tons of people around,
so I'm thinking, Okay, well the demand is right there.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Well, wasn't it like shoplifting in crime? And people don't
feel safe except like.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
I don't know why they don't feel safe in Uptown,
Like I think people getting shot in Uptown.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
But I think perception is reality.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
And if you was a bummer because it's prime real estate, well.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Sure, and Uptown used to be so cool to go to.
But I don't go there now because I'm not afraid
of it. But I know that, like you know, Karen
and Doug from Plymouth might used to go down to
you know, I don't know what was the Asian place
that was down in Uptown? Oh Felia? Was it not Felio?
Speaker 2 (04:26):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Oh it might predated Latino.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
Yeah, I was like Asian place.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
And we used to go there once in a while.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
But now it's not there anymore.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
I didn't think it was because everything's closed down to stuff.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
No, but they're bringing back some kind of version of
Chino's with like I'm pretty sure Billy Sushi's owner. Other
people are kind of bringing something back.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
But I just want somebody who has some money to
like invest in Uptown I don't downtown.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
I don't know that they're bringing it back to uptown.
It might be like North Loop wherever they're bringing.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Of course, of.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Course, can we talk real quick, because a staple of
the Twin City is closing ca fail or Cat.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
I have not heard of it, but I heard it about.
Oh my god, what is it about.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
I mean, it's one of It's the huge restaurant that's
right next to Lauren Park. It's been open for like
twenty three years. It's just a pretty big staple of Minneapolis.
And I've gone there quite a few times. I just
had this bachelorette party, like pre dinner thing there before
we went off on a party bus. But they're huge
for Pride. They throw big parties for Pride and stuff.
But it's it's a good restaurant. It's ritzier, it's expensive,
(05:30):
but it's a really good restaurant. And I'm I'm sad
a lot of restaurants are closing. It feels like it's
like a big wave. Yeah, closures. It's just hard. It's
hard for restaurants because there's always a new one opening,
and that's what people want. Nobody wants to go to
a chain. They want to go to the new hot
spot in town, and then the old hot spot in
town can't keep up.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
It. It's very cyclical, that is the way it is.
And something can be so hot this year, and by
next summer it's cooled off a little bit, and by
the third summer it's done. Yeah, And that's just it's
very cyclical. Another one from Melissa. She says, after listening
to your discussion on the show about infidelity and polyamory
this morning, I wanted to share some information on infidelity.
(06:10):
I'm a psychologist. I've done extensive research in this area.
There are biological differences that make men more prone to
cheat than women. As humans, we are programmed to procreate
and pass on our genes. A female has a nine
month minimum pro creation commitment and to guarantee that the
(06:30):
child is hers, while a man has a much shorter
commitment about the time it takes to impregnate a woman
if you get my drift, and there is no guarantee
the child is his. Therefore, men are subconsciously driven to
try to impregnate as many women as possible to increase
the odds that his genes will be passed on. There
(06:53):
is far more to it. But that's the short version.
If you ever want more fun facts infidelity, I'm your girl.
Yeah no, I've absolutely heard that too. But the response is, well,
you're an adult now, you're not an animal. Keep your
dick in your pants. You don't have to go bang
everything out there. Yeah, that's the good response. But the
response to that might be that's like telling a dog
(07:16):
not to sniff while they walk. That is our and
I'm not defending cheating, but that is our impulse. That
is our you know, that is just the way we
are built. Therefore, more men are going to cheat because
they have an inclination to impregnate as many women as
I can by the end of.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
The day, by the end of the day today.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
So exhausting, so rough.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Sounds like a lot of work.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
It does. It doesn't sound necessarily a lot fun.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
You areally did that in your twenties.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Well, Susan said to me last night, she said, would
you like super sex?
Speaker 3 (07:51):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (07:51):
I said, I'll take the soup.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
E heyo, sounds exhausting. I'll tell you, Susan, you let me.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Know what you want me to come over. You know
what you're up next?
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Next?
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Take me in, Take me in next, one is really long, Heidi,
and I'm not going to read it because it is
honestly probably one of the longest emails we've ever gotten
on the Minnesota Goodbye. But she is also a clinical
psychologist and wanted to weigh in on polygamy, and uh oh,
you're right, you're right polyamory, yes, And I will read
(08:27):
her last paragraph to see whether it sums it up.
The ultimate issue is monogamy has been slammed for being
outdated and confining, which is in turn, sometimes you use
an excuse to justify hurting others. If you don't like monogamy,
then don't try to participate in it. If you don't
like polyamory, then don't participate. But we are definitely capable
of monogamy, and no one should be told that humans
(08:47):
are supposed to be one way or the other. Thanks
for listening to my rant. Have a great day everyone.
So again, one of the longest emails we've ever gotten
on the Minnesota Goodbye. And I'm not going to read
one that long because that would take up the whole
Minnesota Goodbye and I would get bored. But I appreciate
your expertise. Definitely do for sure next one. Don't say
(09:08):
a name if you need some topics for the Minnesota goodbye.
I have questions. Have you ever had a job you
absolutely hated but you had to stay due to be
new in your career? I have not, but the way
you asked this question makes me think you are in
that situation right now. What do you think, Bailey?
Speaker 2 (09:32):
I No, I've not really ever had a job that
I hated. I thought during the pandemic that when I
was laid off and unemployed, that I would have to
get a job that I didn't necessarily love. But I
have been very blessed that all of the jobs that
I have had in my life, which have been a lot,
I have chosen to be there and wanted to be there.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Agree same. Yeah, I've had some that I've liked less
than others. Yeah, exactly, but I've really liked. I mean,
come on, we have a great job. So it's hard
to complain about this job, even on the bad days.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
I would never It's hard to say this because I
don't want anyone I worked with there to feel like
to make them feel bad. But I hated working at
Canterbury Park when I worked in marketing there because the
schedule was Wednesday through Sunday during race season, which was
May to September. So your entire summer was Wednesday through Sunday.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
And my I was this weekend twenty.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
Year old, and I had gone through a breakup, and
so I was already dealing with some pretty hard personal
stuff and some other shit going on in my personal life.
And then my days off were Mondays and Tuesdays when
everyone else is working. So the schedule sucked. The job
itself didn't suck. The people I worked with didn't suck,
but the schedule sucked, and it just I got out
(10:48):
of there so quick because I was like, I can't
do another race season and like have my entire summer
taken away. And that's when I literally took a demotion
and got back into radio and I worked at Cities
ninety seven because I was like, I got to get
out of here.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Do you look back on those days like those were
some pretty good days? And the reason I ask is
because the only job that I ever really kind of
struggled with was my first real radio job, and I
worked all nights. I would work from midnight to six,
a very lonely shift, a loan in the building without
a lot of callers or listeners, and I would work it,
let's see, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and then I would
(11:25):
work Saturday night six to midnight and Sunday night six
to midnight. So during the week there was one twenty
four hour period that I got off and I was
also going to college full time. I was always tired. Yeah,
and I just hated it. But at the same time,
I'd look back on those days now and I'm like,
that was pretty cool. I was like eighteen nineteen years
old that had my own radio show.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Yeah, you're like, not bad night.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Yeah. Her next question is any advice on how to
block out negativity from work? Jenny, you're good at this.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
What do you think, Oh, negativity from work? Does she
mean from coworkers or I don't know. I yeah, that's hard.
I would say if it's from coworkers, just realize that
everyone's living their own lives and to not take anything
that they do or say personal because that's their own
shit and not yours. So just keep your attitude and
(12:14):
positivity to yourself and keep that up even if other
people around you are being negative. And then, I don't know,
take some Instagram breaks, take some quick dopamine hits from
going on social media. And I know that that sounds ridiculous,
but seriously, if you can like be like I'm gonna
work for this amount of time and then you can
take a little bit of a break of whatever your
company might allow, that'll give you motivation to not feel
(12:36):
so drained.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Okay, fair enough advice.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Oh gosh, I don't I feel the same way, like
dopamine hit kind of thing. Might like go on a walk,
something that like brings you comfort. Do that if you
have the ability to. In my old job, it was
it wasn't a bad situation at all, but there were
days where I was like really unmotivated or I had
a lot on my plate and I didn't know how
(13:01):
to deal with it, and I would listen to wind
chimes and bird like on a porch kind of ambiance
in the background always made me feel better.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
Okay, yeahs if you're able to listen to podcasts while
you work, yeah, and a lot of people do find
like a really funny podcast that'll totally lift your mood.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
Well, thanks to our wonderful equipment here, we recorded about
another eight minutes after this of the Minnesota goodbye, and
we looked down the record button said recording, but it
did not record. So we got about fourteen minutes of
the Minnesota goodbye when we should have had about twenty
two minutes. So that's all right. Well, if you didn't
hear your email, we'll try to get to it tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
So I do want to say, if you have any
ideas for state fair shirts, do send those in.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Yeah, we need state ideas.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
Yeah, because really, yeah, one caveat, it does have to
be more something that you might hear on the show,
not just the Minnesota goodbye. So if you think there's
something that we do on the show that's super funny
or something that we all say a lot, let us know.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Okay, if you got any ideas, you know what. Your
ideas are probably just as good as ours. So if
you want to send those in, and to tell you what,
if we get it printed, I will get you a
free sure. Send it into Ryan's show at katiew b
dot com, along with any other emails, and we'll see
you tomorrow
Every day after the show or during a break of
the show, we do the Minnesota Goodbye, and it's basically

Sounds like a lot of work.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
It does. It doesn't sound necessarily a lot fun.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
You areally did that in your twenties.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Well, Susan said to me last night, she said, would
you like super sex?
Speaker 3 (07:51):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (07:51):
I said, I'll take the soup.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
E heyo, sounds exhausting. I'll tell you, Susan, you let me.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Know what you want me to come over. You know
what you're up next?
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Next?
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Take me in, Take me in next, one is really long, Heidi,
and I'm not going to read it because it is
honestly probably one of the longest emails we've ever gotten
on the Minnesota Goodbye. But she is also a clinical
psychologist and wanted to weigh in on polygamy, and uh oh,
you're right, you're right polyamory, yes, And I will read
(08:27):
her last paragraph to see whether it sums it up.
The ultimate issue is monogamy has been slammed for being
outdated and confining, which is in turn, sometimes you use
an excuse to justify hurting others. If you don't like monogamy,
then don't try to participate in it. If you don't
like polyamory, then don't participate. But we are definitely capable
of monogamy, and no one should be told that humans
(08:47):
are supposed to be one way or the other. Thanks
for listening to my rant. Have a great day everyone.
So again, one of the longest emails we've ever gotten
on the Minnesota Goodbye. And I'm not going to read
one that long because that would take up the whole
Minnesota Goodbye and I would get bored. But I appreciate
your expertise. Definitely do for sure next one. Don't say
(09:08):
a name if you need some topics for the Minnesota goodbye.
I have questions. Have you ever had a job you
absolutely hated but you had to stay due to be
new in your career? I have not, but the way
you asked this question makes me think you are in
that situation right now. What do you think, Bailey?
Speaker 2 (09:32):
I No, I've not really ever had a job that
I hated. I thought during the pandemic that when I
was laid off and unemployed, that I would have to
get a job that I didn't necessarily love. But I
have been very blessed that all of the jobs that
I have had in my life, which have been a lot,
I have chosen to be there and wanted to be there.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Agree same. Yeah, I've had some that I've liked less
than others. Yeah, exactly, but I've really liked. I mean,
come on, we have a great job. So it's hard
to complain about this job, even on the bad days.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
I would never It's hard to say this because I
don't want anyone I worked with there to feel like
to make them feel bad. But I hated working at
Canterbury Park when I worked in marketing there because the
schedule was Wednesday through Sunday during race season, which was
May to September. So your entire summer was Wednesday through Sunday.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
And my I was this weekend twenty.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
Year old, and I had gone through a breakup, and
so I was already dealing with some pretty hard personal
stuff and some other shit going on in my personal life.
And then my days off were Mondays and Tuesdays when
everyone else is working. So the schedule sucked. The job
itself didn't suck. The people I worked with didn't suck,
but the schedule sucked, and it just I got out
(10:48):
of there so quick because I was like, I can't
do another race season and like have my entire summer
taken away. And that's when I literally took a demotion
and got back into radio and I worked at Cities
ninety seven because I was like, I got to get
out of here.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Do you look back on those days like those were
some pretty good days? And the reason I ask is
because the only job that I ever really kind of
struggled with was my first real radio job, and I
worked all nights. I would work from midnight to six,
a very lonely shift, a loan in the building without
a lot of callers or listeners, and I would work it,
let's see, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and then I would
(11:25):
work Saturday night six to midnight and Sunday night six
to midnight. So during the week there was one twenty
four hour period that I got off and I was
also going to college full time. I was always tired. Yeah,
and I just hated it. But at the same time,
I'd look back on those days now and I'm like,
that was pretty cool. I was like eighteen nineteen years
old that had my own radio show.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Yeah, you're like, not bad night.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Yeah. Her next question is any advice on how to
block out negativity from work? Jenny, you're good at this.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
What do you think, Oh, negativity from work? Does she
mean from coworkers or I don't know. I yeah, that's hard.
I would say if it's from coworkers, just realize that
everyone's living their own lives and to not take anything
that they do or say personal because that's their own
shit and not yours. So just keep your attitude and
(12:14):
positivity to yourself and keep that up even if other
people around you are being negative. And then, I don't know,
take some Instagram breaks, take some quick dopamine hits from
going on social media. And I know that that sounds ridiculous,
but seriously, if you can like be like I'm gonna
work for this amount of time and then you can
take a little bit of a break of whatever your
company might allow, that'll give you motivation to not feel
(12:36):
so drained.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Okay, fair enough advice.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Oh gosh, I don't I feel the same way, like
dopamine hit kind of thing. Might like go on a walk,
something that like brings you comfort. Do that if you
have the ability to. In my old job, it was
it wasn't a bad situation at all, but there were
days where I was like really unmotivated or I had
a lot on my plate and I didn't know how
(13:01):
to deal with it, and I would listen to wind
chimes and bird like on a porch kind of ambiance
in the background always made me feel better.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
Okay, yeahs if you're able to listen to podcasts while
you work, yeah, and a lot of people do find
like a really funny podcast that'll totally lift your mood.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
Well, thanks to our wonderful equipment here, we recorded about
another eight minutes after this of the Minnesota goodbye, and
we looked down the record button said recording, but it
did not record. So we got about fourteen minutes of
the Minnesota goodbye when we should have had about twenty
two minutes. So that's all right. Well, if you didn't
hear your email, we'll try to get to it tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
So I do want to say, if you have any
ideas for state fair shirts, do send those in.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Yeah, we need state ideas.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
Yeah, because really, yeah, one caveat, it does have to
be more something that you might hear on the show,
not just the Minnesota goodbye. So if you think there's
something that we do on the show that's super funny
or something that we all say a lot, let us know.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Okay, if you got any ideas, you know what. Your
ideas are probably just as good as ours. So if
you want to send those in, and to tell you what,
if we get it printed, I will get you a
free sure. Send it into Ryan's show at katiew b
dot com, along with any other emails, and we'll see
you tomorrow
