Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's funny. We started the Minnesota Goodbye about an hour
ago and just as we got about thirty forty fifty
seconds into it, one of the wonderful salespeople this radio
station walked into the studio and threw us all off.
And it wasn't their fault. But so here we are
starting all over again. Let's get right to the emails
on the Minnesota Goodbye, the heart and soul of the
(00:22):
entire podcast here. Hold on. Oh wait, okay, stall for
me for a second, because I have the wrong email open.
I got to open up Ryan Show at katiwb dot com.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Hey, I really liked what you said to me yesterday
and my DMS when you saw the tire picture of
my before and after and I told you I just
like to live life on the edge, and you responded
you were like, this is what I know about you?
Speaker 3 (00:43):
And I can't remember, but you.
Speaker 4 (00:44):
Said blonde boobs, but likes to live life on the edge.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Should that be my new Instagram bio.
Speaker 4 (00:52):
Or I don't know, yes, because that's that's what I
know about you.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
I want to talk about your date with regular guys.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Sure we went to last night?
Speaker 3 (01:00):
It was last night?
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Oh, I didn't know about this. He didn't bring it up.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
Well I mentioned it. I did.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
It's okay, sorry, it's fine.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
I'm not mad.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
We went to go see Jesus Christ Superstar at the
ord Way, which was Baby's first professional production, I believe,
which is great. It was a really good show. It
was just very like artsy, a lot of symbolism, a
lot of contemporary interpretive dance, and it felt that I
was like, oh, this is the one that I'm bringing
him to. But it's okay, that's the one I brought
him to. So that's how it was. But then we
(01:27):
went to Saint Paul Grill beforehand just to.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
Get like drinks.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Nice, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
It is swanky.
Speaker 4 (01:33):
But we were planning on just going to the bar,
but the bar is only open Thursday through Saturday, so
we ended up going to Saint Paul Grill and then
sitting in the bar area. But we got calamari and cocktails.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
And it was nice.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
Now I do like him. I think he's nice, he's tall,
he's sweet. He is just a little awkward, and I
feel like maybe he'll get over that eventually, once he
is no longer scared to be around me, scared.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
In all the sense of that he's intimidated. He's not,
probably not, but like he's.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
Probably just like Ooh, I don't want to look stupid,
but I feel like in that sense he is a
little awkward.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Oh God, I mean when you're first dating somebody. I
remember my first girlfriend, Vanessa. I was eighteen. I just
turned eighteen, and I went to her mom and dad's
house and her sisters were there, and I'll never forget this.
We're sitting in the kitchen and her sister's a little
bit older. They said, Dave. One of them said, Dave,
it was nice meeting you, and I said these words exactly,
(02:30):
Meeting you too was nice, And I've never forgotten that.
I was like, what a dumb motherfucker. Couldn't you have
just said nice meeting you? But I was so nervous.
I said, meeting you too was nice? Yes, And I'm
sure they were like, God, Vanessa, this guy's a fucking
(02:50):
fucking yeah, meeting you too was nice.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
Well, I'm bringing him to meet a bunch of my
friends on Saturday, and it'll do Great's feel to happen.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
He'll do great too.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
Ah.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
All right, here's your first email. Good morning, Dave. Jenny Bailey,
I'm curious if you've ever started a hobby later in life.
Are started back with a hobby after not doing it
for many years. This summer, at the age of forty two,
I started taking piano lessons again. I took lessons back
in elementary school, but then I stopped. I had a
Christmas piano recital last weekend along with about a dozen
other kids, and I'm proud to say I kicked those kids'
(03:27):
asses with my songs. Hell yeah, just kidding a little.
But it's been a fun thing to do, and it's
interesting how I now want to practice throughout the week.
And when I was little, my parents had to force
me have a beautiful day From Alison, I love that story.
I think that is something that it's true. It's kind
of like when you go back to school as an adult,
(03:48):
you take it a lot more seriously because it's your choice, yes,
and you have something at stake, and you paid for it,
and you have things writing on it.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
Yeah, I wouldn't say I'm necessarily like re visiting anything
that I did as a kid, or like new hobbies
or something, but not this past year, which I kind
of I shanked it.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
This past year.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
But I do really like taking like classes, like improv classes.
I took burlesque classes, I took oh gosh something else classes.
But I'd like taking classes because again, it's like you're
going to school and then you're really invested in it,
and I just like see the class all the way
through to the end so that you can either you know,
like perform or something to show that you did something
(04:28):
with it. And I'd still really like to I'd like
to take swimming lessons. I'd like to take voice lessons.
That would be nice. I just have to like make
it happen, and it's so easy to just go home
and take a nap.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
I took voice lessons for about two weeks when I
was in Oklahoma, and I learned something very valuable, and
that is kind of have a yawn when you sing,
so it's like instead of poor Jot is dead, you.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Poor Jot is dead poor because you put.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
A little yawn in your voice.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Breathwork there, that's it.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
But I didn't like my teacher. He was just a
weirdo and made me feel uncomfortable and stupid. Honestly, off air.
I don't remember his name, and I only went once
or twice, but I learned how to yo.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
I just want to know if I can sing in
front of a crowd once in my life, that'd be cool.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Yeah, we'll check it out. Swimming is a good thing
to learn too.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Yeah, mine is just I used to be in a
jump roping team, so every once in a while I'll
teach myself old tricks and try to come up with
a routine.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
And there is one.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
And I'm happy this person email then because there's one
to All I want for Christmas is you that multiple
people have sent me of all these girls doing a
routine and I think I can do it. Yeah, It's
going to take some time to learn, so I'm going
to try to attempt to learn it in the next
few days.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Yes, we talked yesterday about Carson has. It's like, what
do you want? He wants a big water bottle that
looks like it's about nine bucks, and he wants a
white tote bag and we all kind of puzzled over that,
like why it's a bright white tote bag and I
don't know whether it's leather or what. But he sent
are of it. So anyway, Sidney big supporter of the
(06:03):
Minnesota Goodbye I wrote and said I heard about Carson's
Christmas wish of a white tote. I work for Caribou,
and I know we have extra Cariboo branded white toats.
I could easily send you to Carson to fulfhillis Christmas
wish and hook him up with some Cousins product that
nobody sees on tours that with some cut nobody he Okay,
I understand that attached is an example, but I will
(06:24):
say that this is very sweet Sidney, and I appreciate it.
But I'm going to guess, knowing Carson, it's probably a
very specific brand of white tote. And this is so
cute because this is what grandmothers do, Sydney, You're turning
into a grandmother. You'll hear like, oh, well she wants
a squish mellow for Christmas. Yes, oh well a squish mellow.
(06:47):
Well that's easy. I'll go down to Target. Well they
don't they have this one called a mash mellow, So
I'll get her a mash mellow instead. Close enough, and
then the kid opens up a mash mellow and it's like,
what the fuck is this?
Speaker 3 (06:59):
Or you're getting them all la fufu instead of a
la boo boo. Yeah, okay, don't want that. I ordered
some fugs one time, some fake ugs.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Are you serious?
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (07:08):
And then they were called thugs.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
They were that's what people would call them. But like
my friends and I, we all wanted like tall black
ugs in college. I had no fucking money back then,
so I bought thugs and I thought I got this
great deal. They were garbage compared to actual ugs, the
reason those are so expensive. And then I told them
to my little sister who she continued to wear them
as if they were ugs and not like she did
(07:31):
know they were fuck right.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
I never once owned a real pair of ugs, but
I owned plenty of it.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
I still have one pair, but I still use a
real pair, and to this day they're still fantastic. And
I got them like twenty years ago. Yeah they're great,
maybe not that long.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
Like they should bring that crap back because yeah, they
say fashion is cyclical. Let's bring back like the ug boot,
not the slipper.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Yeah, I want everyone has the slippers, now, let's bring
back the boot.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Anyway, I don't want to not appreciate Sydney's offer, so
thank you, Sydney. I do appreciate it, but I'm going
to guess that if Carson wants a tote bag, it
is probably a very specific brand of tote bag. But
thank you so much. Katie writes in about Christmas cards
because I was talking about Christmas cards the other day.
I really enjoy the whole tradition, and I've always had
(08:17):
a little bit of like a funny pet peeve about
people who send out computerized, non personalized Christmas cards. I
think it then makes the card about you and not
about the recipient, because if you send out a computerized
Christmas card, I think you're saying, look at me, I
remembered you, instead of I want to show you that
I care about you by taking some time and handwriting
(08:39):
a message. Some people disagree. Katie says it's so expensive
to send Christmas cards, seventy five to one hundred dollars
for the cards, stamps, a lot include photos you've already
seen on Facebook. I love getting cards, though I skipped
last year and felt terrible not sending them out when
we got cards from other people. Do you send Christmas
cards every year? Yes? Do you only send it? Who
(09:00):
send you a card?
Speaker 4 (09:01):
No?
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Is yours? Funny? Your traditional, traditional, and be honest do
you judge a little when you get a Christmas card
or Christmas letter? I do judge a little on the
Christmas letter, but I get this sentiment behind it. You know.
I don't always read them unless I care. Like I
got one from a friend the other day, and I
know it's going to be a glowing this, a glowing
this about her little girl and her husband who's a genius,
(09:24):
and I don't care, but I love the person. I
just don't care. Yeah, you know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (09:28):
Sure, yeah, so harsh.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
I feel like I don't know very many people who
include the letter anymore. Like my dad used to include
the letter when we were growing up, because we sent
Christmas cards with my dad. But I think maybe once
we turned I don't know, fifteen sixteen, he stopped doing it.
So I'd rarely read a Christmas letter. But I do
love getting Christmas cards, but they are mostly just like
the ones that you print out a bunch of them
(09:51):
and then just start mailing them.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
I loved getting the one, Like I said, my sister
didn't send it this here, and she normally sends one.
I loved getting hers. If I got it for any
other family, yeah, I probably wouldn't read it, but I
read my own because I don't get to see my
family very often at I know with.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Your family, absolutely sure, Yeah, Andrei writes in Longtime Listener,
First time writer. First of all, thank you for everything
you do each and every day to keep us entertaining.
A huge thank you for the extra hours you put
in for Christmas wish. It's a great reminder there is
always someone worse off than you, but also that there
are still amazing people in this world willing to help
(10:28):
someone in need. Switching topics, there's a commercial that plays
right before or after the podcast for Trainer Games. Now,
if you're listening to the podcast, you probably know exactly
what they're talking about. I, on the other hand, do not.
I do not listen to the Minnesota Goodbye podcast because
I've already heard it. You're on it. It starts with
the announcer of pronouncing the words the word athletes athletes
(10:52):
instead of athletes. It's a two syllable word, not a
three syllable word. Okay, it shouldn't bother me, but this
shit pisses me the fuck off. In my best one
need a voice, just say athlete like a normal person.
There's no need to make a two syllable word three
syllables just so you can try to sound fancy. Anyway,
have a wonderful day. Dart lick from Andy athletes athletes.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
I guess I've not I've not heard that one, but
I haven't either, you know, to each their own athlete.
Maybe it is a three syllable word.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Gave.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
You do that to words all the time. What do
I do you do it? You do it to me funny,
to be.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Funny, not to like sound prestigious, like you add an
extra syllable.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
But I am prestigious.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
Well, I don't know about that, but I prestigious.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Uh. Here's one from Sarah Dave. You've talked about on
the show many times how you and Susan are so
different from each other, whether it's your personalities, interests, hobbies,
et cetera. We are, but you've also talked about how
you feel it's so important to have similar interests with
your partner. Can you talk about how you two met,
what drew you guys to each other, what keeps you
(11:58):
two together? Give in your differences. I'll be honest, the
biggest challenge in my marriage is the fact that we
have different levels of adventure and fun. We do enjoy
the RV. We do and go enjoy going to Sturgis,
but there's a lot of things. It's like, I want
to go cross country skiing. She doesn't even like to
walk on an icy sidewalk. We went hiking in Colorado
(12:21):
a couple of years ago on a very flat trail
that was somewhat icy, and she was like, I.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
Don't want to do this, I'm gonna fall.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
So I had to go get the car, drive it
on the road parallel to the trail so she could
walk off the trail and get into the car. And
to me, it's like, it's ice. Just be careful, you
know what I mean. So we definitely have a different sense.
She is okay with sitting on the couch and playing
on her phone, and me it's like, man, I got hobbies,
(12:48):
I got ukulele, I got magic, I got different things.
I've got stuff that I like to do, and she
is fine not doing.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
Okay, But answer the other part of how did you
meet her? How did you come together? At first?
Speaker 1 (12:59):
She was hot? Oh, she was hot, super hot, And
so yeah, I will tell you every marriage has its
struggles and challenges and that's ours is that I like
to go and do exciting things, and she really like
I like to go flying, and she doesn't like to
go flying. So but the great thing about her is
(13:20):
that she is predictable and not unpredictable. She's never going
to be like, well, you know what, I withdrew forty
two thousand dollars so I could take it down to
the treasure island and put it all on one hand
of blackjack. Never worry about things like that. So predictable
but also a little bit boring. But I'm sure she
would say the same thing to me. I wonder people
(13:40):
who are married for a long time are like, yeah,
they're predictable, and that's a good thing. Thank you, Sarah.
Checking time here, we're doing okay, all right, I'm going
to try this one. It's a little bit longer, but
it is interesting. I want to vent. I want to
hear your thoughts. My niece is the sweetest person. Finally
(14:03):
had her baby. Her two sister in law showed up
at the hospital with their kids. It's RSV season, so
kids are not allowed in the patient rooms. One of
them decided the rules didn't apply to her and told
the nurse nobody can watch my kid. Even though her
husband was there and literally pushed pasted her into the room.
(14:23):
Why the nurse didn't stop her, I have no idea.
While she's there, she's bragging about how when she buzzed
the hospital door, she said, I'm here for my brother
who just had a baby. When the staff said, do
you mean your sister in law, she doubled down and said, well,
my brother had the baby too, and she was proud
of this. The final straw, one of my sisters in
(14:43):
law posted pictures of my niece's newborn on social media
before my niece even got the chance, and not just one,
but several, and not one included my niece. My niece
is too kind, won't say anything even though she's upset,
but I'm furious these girls are pushy and disrespectful and
honestly not nice to her. Next time I gotta be
around them, I'm gonna have a hard time keeping my
mouth shut. I'm genuinely curious what you and others think
(15:07):
about posting someone else's newborn before the parents get to
I'm not a big social media person, and even though
I know that's a boundary, even I know that's a
boundary you don't cross. I can't believe they did that.
That is from NICKI p one listeners since the beginning.
Thank you, NICKI.
Speaker 4 (15:23):
I mean I even think that's like when you go
to a wedding and somebody posts the couple before they
post themselves.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Yeah, you don't do that.
Speaker 4 (15:29):
Yeah, it just seems like, why are you dumb enough
to post this baby before their parents even post the baby.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
I'm gonna tell you these sounds like a couple of
dumb ass pieces of trash. I mean there, I said it,
a couple of dumb ass pieces of trash. And I'm
just gonna guess, like the kids aren't welcome in the room,
you bring them in, you think it's funny you do that,
I'm gonna guess they've done it. They've had a history
of being dumb ass pieces of trash and you're just
fed up with it. I'm sorry you put up with that.
(15:56):
I'm so lucky in my family we don't have Well,
there might be a couple of dumb ass pieces of trash,
but I just keep my distance. Jenny, any dumb ass
pieces trash in your family, Yeah, but.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
We've kind of weeded them out at this point, like,
there's really just like one who she's been to jail.
She's stolen tons of jewelry, like thousands and thousands of
dollars worth of jewelry from her mom, and her mom
didn't know it was her, so her mom called the police.
So then she did get charged because like her mom
did file a report, she probably wouldn't have had she
known it was her daughter to stole it.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
So that's really like one of the only ones.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
And then unfortunately one that's a raging alcoholic that doesn't
get invited to anything anymore.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
All right, well right, okay, hey, thank you for all
the emails. We really I love doing the Minnesota Goodbye.
I look forward to it every morning, and send your
emails in to Ryan's show at KDWB dot com.
It's funny. We started the Minnesota Goodbye about an hour
ago and just as we got about thirty forty fifty
seconds into it, one of the wonderful salespeople this radio
station walked into the studio and threw us all off.
And it wasn't their fault. But so here we are
starting all over again. Let's get right to the emails

Speaker 2 (00:32):
Hey, I really liked what you said to me yesterday

Oh, I didn't know about this. He didn't bring it up.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
Well I mentioned it. I did.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
It's okay, sorry, it's fine.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
I'm not mad.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
We went to go see Jesus Christ Superstar at the

Oh God, I mean when you're first dating somebody. I

Speaker 4 (02:57):
Well, I'm bringing him to meet a bunch of my

to take swimming lessons. I'd like to take voice lessons.
That would be nice. I just have to like make
it happen, and it's so easy to just go home
and take a nap.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
I took voice lessons for about two weeks when I
was in Oklahoma, and I learned something very valuable, and
that is kind of have a yawn when you sing,
so it's like instead of poor Jot is dead, you.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Poor Jot is dead poor because you put.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
A little yawn in your voice.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Breathwork there, that's it.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
But I didn't like my teacher. He was just a
weirdo and made me feel uncomfortable and stupid. Honestly, off air.
I don't remember his name, and I only went once
or twice, but I learned how to yo.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
I just want to know if I can sing in
front of a crowd once in my life, that'd be cool.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Yeah, we'll check it out. Swimming is a good thing
to learn too.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Yeah, mine is just I used to be in a
jump roping team, so every once in a while I'll
teach myself old tricks and try to come up with
a routine.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
And there is one.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
And I'm happy this person email then because there's one
to All I want for Christmas is you that multiple
people have sent me of all these girls doing a
routine and I think I can do it. Yeah, It's
going to take some time to learn, so I'm going
to try to attempt to learn it in the next
few days.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Yes, we talked yesterday about Carson has. It's like, what
do you want? He wants a big water bottle that
looks like it's about nine bucks, and he wants a
white tote bag and we all kind of puzzled over that,
like why it's a bright white tote bag and I
don't know whether it's leather or what. But he sent
are of it. So anyway, Sidney big supporter of the
(06:03):
Minnesota Goodbye I wrote and said I heard about Carson's
Christmas wish of a white tote. I work for Caribou,
and I know we have extra Cariboo branded white toats.
I could easily send you to Carson to fulfhillis Christmas
wish and hook him up with some Cousins product that
nobody sees on tours that with some cut nobody he Okay,
I understand that attached is an example, but I will
(06:24):
say that this is very sweet Sidney, and I appreciate it.
But I'm going to guess, knowing Carson, it's probably a
very specific brand of white tote. And this is so
cute because this is what grandmothers do, Sydney, You're turning
into a grandmother. You'll hear like, oh, well she wants
a squish mellow for Christmas. Yes, oh well a squish mellow.
(06:47):
Well that's easy. I'll go down to Target. Well they
don't they have this one called a mash mellow, So
I'll get her a mash mellow instead. Close enough, and
then the kid opens up a mash mellow and it's like,
what the fuck is this?
Speaker 3 (06:59):
Or you're getting them all la fufu instead of a
la boo boo. Yeah, okay, don't want that. I ordered
some fugs one time, some fake ugs.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Are you serious?
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (07:08):
And then they were called thugs.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
They were that's what people would call them. But like
my friends and I, we all wanted like tall black
ugs in college. I had no fucking money back then,
so I bought thugs and I thought I got this
great deal. They were garbage compared to actual ugs, the
reason those are so expensive. And then I told them
to my little sister who she continued to wear them
as if they were ugs and not like she did
(07:31):
know they were fuck right.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
I never once owned a real pair of ugs, but
I owned plenty of it.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
I still have one pair, but I still use a
real pair, and to this day they're still fantastic. And
I got them like twenty years ago. Yeah they're great,
maybe not that long.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
Like they should bring that crap back because yeah, they
say fashion is cyclical. Let's bring back like the ug boot,
not the slipper.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Yeah, I want everyone has the slippers, now, let's bring
back the boot.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Anyway, I don't want to not appreciate Sydney's offer, so
thank you, Sydney. I do appreciate it, but I'm going
to guess that if Carson wants a tote bag, it
is probably a very specific brand of tote bag. But
thank you so much. Katie writes in about Christmas cards
because I was talking about Christmas cards the other day.
I really enjoy the whole tradition, and I've always had
(08:17):
a little bit of like a funny pet peeve about
people who send out computerized, non personalized Christmas cards. I
think it then makes the card about you and not
about the recipient, because if you send out a computerized
Christmas card, I think you're saying, look at me, I
remembered you, instead of I want to show you that
I care about you by taking some time and handwriting
(08:39):
a message. Some people disagree. Katie says it's so expensive
to send Christmas cards, seventy five to one hundred dollars
for the cards, stamps, a lot include photos you've already
seen on Facebook. I love getting cards, though I skipped
last year and felt terrible not sending them out when
we got cards from other people. Do you send Christmas
cards every year? Yes? Do you only send it? Who
(09:00):
send you a card?
Speaker 4 (09:01):
No?
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Is yours? Funny? Your traditional, traditional, and be honest do
you judge a little when you get a Christmas card
or Christmas letter? I do judge a little on the
Christmas letter, but I get this sentiment behind it. You know.
I don't always read them unless I care. Like I
got one from a friend the other day, and I
know it's going to be a glowing this, a glowing
this about her little girl and her husband who's a genius,
(09:24):
and I don't care, but I love the person. I
just don't care. Yeah, you know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (09:28):
Sure, yeah, so harsh.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
I feel like I don't know very many people who
include the letter anymore. Like my dad used to include
the letter when we were growing up, because we sent
Christmas cards with my dad. But I think maybe once
we turned I don't know, fifteen sixteen, he stopped doing it.
So I'd rarely read a Christmas letter. But I do
love getting Christmas cards, but they are mostly just like
the ones that you print out a bunch of them
(09:51):
and then just start mailing them.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
I loved getting the one, Like I said, my sister
didn't send it this here, and she normally sends one.
I loved getting hers. If I got it for any
other family, yeah, I probably wouldn't read it, but I
read my own because I don't get to see my
family very often at I know with.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Your family, absolutely sure, Yeah, Andrei writes in Longtime Listener,
First time writer. First of all, thank you for everything
you do each and every day to keep us entertaining.
A huge thank you for the extra hours you put
in for Christmas wish. It's a great reminder there is
always someone worse off than you, but also that there
are still amazing people in this world willing to help
(10:28):
someone in need. Switching topics, there's a commercial that plays
right before or after the podcast for Trainer Games. Now,
if you're listening to the podcast, you probably know exactly
what they're talking about. I, on the other hand, do not.
I do not listen to the Minnesota Goodbye podcast because
I've already heard it. You're on it. It starts with
the announcer of pronouncing the words the word athletes athletes
(10:52):
instead of athletes. It's a two syllable word, not a
three syllable word. Okay, it shouldn't bother me, but this
shit pisses me the fuck off. In my best one
need a voice, just say athlete like a normal person.
There's no need to make a two syllable word three
syllables just so you can try to sound fancy. Anyway,
have a wonderful day. Dart lick from Andy athletes athletes.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
I guess I've not I've not heard that one, but
I haven't either, you know, to each their own athlete.
Maybe it is a three syllable word.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Gave.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
You do that to words all the time. What do
I do you do it? You do it to me funny,
to be.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Funny, not to like sound prestigious, like you add an
extra syllable.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
But I am prestigious.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
Well, I don't know about that, but I prestigious.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Uh. Here's one from Sarah Dave. You've talked about on
the show many times how you and Susan are so
different from each other, whether it's your personalities, interests, hobbies,
et cetera. We are, but you've also talked about how
you feel it's so important to have similar interests with
your partner. Can you talk about how you two met,
what drew you guys to each other, what keeps you
(11:58):
two together? Give in your differences. I'll be honest, the
biggest challenge in my marriage is the fact that we
have different levels of adventure and fun. We do enjoy
the RV. We do and go enjoy going to Sturgis,
but there's a lot of things. It's like, I want
to go cross country skiing. She doesn't even like to
walk on an icy sidewalk. We went hiking in Colorado
(12:21):
a couple of years ago on a very flat trail
that was somewhat icy, and she was like, I.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
Don't want to do this, I'm gonna fall.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
So I had to go get the car, drive it
on the road parallel to the trail so she could
walk off the trail and get into the car. And
to me, it's like, it's ice. Just be careful, you
know what I mean. So we definitely have a different sense.
She is okay with sitting on the couch and playing
on her phone, and me it's like, man, I got hobbies,
(12:48):
I got ukulele, I got magic, I got different things.
I've got stuff that I like to do, and she
is fine not doing.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
Okay, But answer the other part of how did you
meet her? How did you come together? At first?
Speaker 1 (12:59):
She was hot? Oh, she was hot, super hot, And
so yeah, I will tell you every marriage has its
struggles and challenges and that's ours is that I like
to go and do exciting things, and she really like
I like to go flying, and she doesn't like to
go flying. So but the great thing about her is
(13:20):
that she is predictable and not unpredictable. She's never going
to be like, well, you know what, I withdrew forty
two thousand dollars so I could take it down to
the treasure island and put it all on one hand
of blackjack. Never worry about things like that. So predictable
but also a little bit boring. But I'm sure she
would say the same thing to me. I wonder people
(13:40):
who are married for a long time are like, yeah,
they're predictable, and that's a good thing. Thank you, Sarah.
Checking time here, we're doing okay, all right, I'm going
to try this one. It's a little bit longer, but
it is interesting. I want to vent. I want to
hear your thoughts. My niece is the sweetest person. Finally
(14:03):
had her baby. Her two sister in law showed up
at the hospital with their kids. It's RSV season, so
kids are not allowed in the patient rooms. One of
them decided the rules didn't apply to her and told
the nurse nobody can watch my kid. Even though her
husband was there and literally pushed pasted her into the room.
(14:23):
Why the nurse didn't stop her, I have no idea.
While she's there, she's bragging about how when she buzzed
the hospital door, she said, I'm here for my brother
who just had a baby. When the staff said, do
you mean your sister in law, she doubled down and said, well,
my brother had the baby too, and she was proud
of this. The final straw, one of my sisters in
(14:43):
law posted pictures of my niece's newborn on social media
before my niece even got the chance, and not just one,
but several, and not one included my niece. My niece
is too kind, won't say anything even though she's upset,
but I'm furious these girls are pushy and disrespectful and
honestly not nice to her. Next time I gotta be
around them, I'm gonna have a hard time keeping my
mouth shut. I'm genuinely curious what you and others think
(15:07):
about posting someone else's newborn before the parents get to
I'm not a big social media person, and even though
I know that's a boundary, even I know that's a
boundary you don't cross. I can't believe they did that.
That is from NICKI p one listeners since the beginning.
Thank you, NICKI.
Speaker 4 (15:23):
I mean I even think that's like when you go
to a wedding and somebody posts the couple before they
post themselves.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Yeah, you don't do that.
Speaker 4 (15:29):
Yeah, it just seems like, why are you dumb enough
to post this baby before their parents even post the baby.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
I'm gonna tell you these sounds like a couple of
dumb ass pieces of trash. I mean there, I said it,
a couple of dumb ass pieces of trash. And I'm
just gonna guess, like the kids aren't welcome in the room,
you bring them in, you think it's funny you do that,
I'm gonna guess they've done it. They've had a history
of being dumb ass pieces of trash and you're just
fed up with it. I'm sorry you put up with that.
(15:56):
I'm so lucky in my family we don't have Well,
there might be a couple of dumb ass pieces of trash,
but I just keep my distance. Jenny, any dumb ass
pieces trash in your family, Yeah, but.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
We've kind of weeded them out at this point, like,
there's really just like one who she's been to jail.
She's stolen tons of jewelry, like thousands and thousands of
dollars worth of jewelry from her mom, and her mom
didn't know it was her, so her mom called the police.
So then she did get charged because like her mom
did file a report, she probably wouldn't have had she
known it was her daughter to stole it.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
So that's really like one of the only ones.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
And then unfortunately one that's a raging alcoholic that doesn't
get invited to anything anymore.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
All right, well right, okay, hey, thank you for all
the emails. We really I love doing the Minnesota Goodbye.
I look forward to it every morning, and send your
emails in to Ryan's show at KDWB dot com.
