Speaker 1 (00:00):
So on the Minnesota Goodbye, I promised to tell this
story because I was watching the video yesterday about Paul McCartney,
because I love the Beatles, but you don't have to
love Paul McCartney to love this story. So Paul McCartney
is old. He's eighty one, maybe eighty two years old.
Now I think he's eighty one, but you know he's healthy,
but he's eighty one. Yeah. So he was coming home
(00:22):
from some event and it was like nine o'clock at night,
and he goes to the hotel in New York City
and he finds out somebody says, you know what, Paul,
there is a whole room, like a whole office full
of people down at your promotions company or whatever. They
would love to meet you. They've been waiting for about
two hours. Will you come down and meet them? And
(00:43):
it would have been easy and justified for eighty one
year old Paul McCartney to say, no, I'm too tired.
I've been busy. I've been working all day. I'm eighty
one years old. He said, now let's go do it, mate,
So they hop in the suv they go down. He
spent two hours autographs, pictures, handshakes. Huggs took time with everybody,
(01:03):
and they said, it's because Paul McCartney knows how much
he means to his fans. And I think it's really true,
because you know, he is such a legend. It's almost
like he's one one level below God. I mean, there's God, Jesus,
so father Son, Holy Spirit on the top level. Right
underneath that is probably Madonna and Paul McCartney. Okay, got it?
(01:29):
So how does that apply? Why do I have a
story about this? So the people who listen to our show,
they don't adore us nearly in any form of what
Paul McCartney gets. But there are people who like our show,
and we really appreciate them very very much. And this
story is not timely, but it reminded me when I
(01:50):
heard the Paul McCartney story yesterday. About five or six
or seven years ago, Fallon was on the show and
two women called in or emailed in and said, we
love you too. We want to meet you guys really bad.
Can we bring you coffee tomorrow and at nine o'clock. Yeah, sure,
we'd love to meet you. Come on in. Okay, great,
We'll meet you in the lobby. At nine o'clock. So
(02:13):
they got here at nine o'clock. We told the receptionist,
because we had a receptionist back then, we don't now, Yeah, okay,
we're busy, but we'll be right out to get them.
We forgot. An hour or more later, we went out
and we're like, oh my god, I'm so sorry. I'm
(02:35):
so we forgot. I'm so sorry. Can you ever forgive us?
I'm so sorry? They said sorry, We like, do you
want to come back? And say no. They gave us
the coffee and they left.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
I'm shocked that they waited that long, and I'm also
shocked that the receptionist just didn't bring them to you.
You know, yeah, I don't remember Chell blame them. Yeah,
so I should blame you guys for forgetting.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
And I think Follon and I brought it up on
the Minnesota Goodbye maybe a year or two or three ago,
when she was still here obviously, and we said, if
you're still listening, let us know, and we didn't hear anything.
So I think we just burned that bridge or good.
And we just felt like shit about it because here
were two people who cared enough about our show that
they wanted to come down and say hi, Yeah, and
(03:20):
we forgot.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
About it and I forget just doing basic stuff and
I feel bad for that. But this is like a
These are people who admire you and cherish you, and
you're like bat forgot about you.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
We felt we felt awful. All right. So there's that story.
Next one. Are you ready? Here we go. We'll get
a ton of Minnesota goodbye emails. Let me see if
I can scroll back and just kind of randomly grab one.
How abad this one came in on Friday, TGIF says
(03:51):
spring what a great name. Been listening to KWB for years.
I still look forward to it every day. Not only that,
but you guys have cut KWI drupled my excitement. I
might have read this one. Oh no, I don't think so. Okay,
you've quadrupled my excitement by adding in the Minnesota Goodbye
Falon and Colt Show and Falon and Jenny's podcast, love
them all. I have two questions. Several months ago, you
(04:14):
mentioned a mysterious letter in message that Bailey got regarding
revealing a secret. Inquiring minds want to know what was
that all about? You remember?
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Yep, Well, they sent me a thing saying that they
were going to tell a secret about me and then
but then I don't know. They were kind of like, uh,
I guess they gave up on it. Not cowardly, they
were like, oh, once I said I was gonna dox
them or say their name, you know, then they're like, ooh,
never mind, and they just kind of ghosted.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
So I just blocked them. So they said, if you
don't tell them, I will, yes, and we're like.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
I was like, oh crap, I don't know what this
is going to be about. And then they just I said,
if you say something, then I'm going to say something.
And yeah, then they guess that kind of they I
don't know. They were like living in their own little
drama bubble and they thought, oh, you know, it's going
to be juicy.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
We never did find out what it was.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Well you didn't, No, I feel like I have. But
I was like, eh, I'm done, Okay, peace out.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
I mean, there's all kinds of speculating. It's kind of
like people want to speculate about that the same way
people want to speculate why did Jenny and Andrew break up?
I don't know. I don't know. Oh, we truly, I
don't know. But if I did, I wouldn't tell you
what right Jenny knows well, Jenny knows, but she's not
going to tell you. So next one, I'm concerned. Recently,
(05:38):
Dave mentioned that he may not be at the radio
station next year. Jenny also made a comment on the
show about possibly not being around, but not necessarily by choice.
On Fallon and Jenny's podcast, Fallon made a comment that
something in her schedule's got to give, and she's going
to give it one more year with her schedule. Please
tell me that iHeart is not getting rid of the
local shows and replace it with some lame show. I
(05:59):
would be so disappointed. Anyway, love the show, looking forward
to listening for years to come. Spring. I don't think
anybody has any direct plans on leaving, but I will
also say, you never know what the future holds. Yeah,
you know, I don't think that Jenny is a lifer
in radio. I've already spent my life in radio, so
I won't be here forever. And I think Fallon's thing
(06:21):
is she does the Jason Show, she's a mom, and
then she does the radio show. And she doesn't just
do a radio show. It's a very busy radio show.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Right, and I think I definitely think Vont's a lifer
in radio radio. I'm just I just happen to be here.
People are like, oh, are you gonna try and do more? Like,
I guess I haven't really thought about it. Or they'll
be like, oh, if you get fired, what are you
gonna do? I'm like, yeah, I haven't really thought about it,
so I guess I'll figure it out.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
You know what. I think there's certain things that you
can't I mean, you can maybe wonder about it, but
I wouldn't sit there and be like, oh my god,
if I get fired, what I'm gonna do? Just keep
plunging ahead. Yeah, with the energy that you do now.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
I have a friend over the weekend who asked me
if I have an agent. He's like, did you want
to get an agent? You could like, you know, pivot
and add on like TV and stuff like. I haven't
even considered it, but I know for a fact I
don't want to move, so whatever it has to be,
I wouldn't mind being on Twin Cities Live. How do
I get one of those jobs?
Speaker 1 (07:21):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
I gotta take out Elizabeth Reese breaker.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Leg Breaker Leg. The funny thing is. I said, it's
going to be a long Minnesota goodbye. But as it
turned out, we spent a lot of time working on
other things this morning. Yeah, so we don't have as
much time as we thought. No, but I do have
this one long time listener catching up on some old
Minnesota goodbyes. I got to the one where Dave was
(07:45):
talking about the random set of pictures he got for
his birthday, and my immediate reaction was, Oh, those must
be from Brentley. The note did not sound like it
came from a The note did not sound like it
came from a female, but rather the most emotional men
would allow themselves to be sometimes I miss you. Let
me let me explain. It wasn't on my birthday. It
was sometime in the spring, and it was an envelope
(08:09):
mailed from Cleveland but no return address, and it had
the Cleveland postmark, and I used to live in Ohio,
and it included pictures of me from when I was
about twenty three years old doing a radio station event.
Two pictures of me, good pictures that they didn't cut
out of a magazine or a newspaper. They were photographs
(08:31):
and they sent them to me. No name, and it
said I'm so sorry about Josie. My dog had just
died of a few weeks before, and sometimes I really
miss you. And the only people that I thought that
could have had those I asked him no, So I
still don't know who that came from.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Could it be Burnley?
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Not like him? Yeah, I mean it could have been. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Did it look like man handwriting?
Speaker 1 (08:58):
I don't remember, but sure it could of. Yeah. But
would he say sometimes I really miss you? And what
would he I don't think he would have had those pictures? Yeah,
I think those are pictures that I gave to an
old girlfriend. But then how did they get my home address?
Speaker 2 (09:15):
I'm shocked that you're like, so chill about that when
you got it, because I would have shot my pants.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Well you shot your pants about way to you if
you saw if you saw a random guy walk by
outside and he was wearing a hoodie, yeah, and you're like,
that is one sketchy looking dude, I would call the police.
You would call the police. I don't really get that way,
because I think in life you have to pick what
you're going to get skeeved out about.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Yeah, you know, I get scared about everything.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
I know it goes on to say, seems like he
was trying to reach out, which some people do when
they're drawing going through something very tough. You should reach
out to him to see if it was him and
if he is all right. It's Brentley's birthday today. Maybe
I will text him and say happy birthday.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
He should just for the bit, you know, for the
for the content. Okay, you got to do it for
content day.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Maybe the show. Thank you, next one, let's do one more.
Are you the naked neighbor? Says Samantha. My wife and
I are talking about this. In a household, there's always
a naked neighbor. You get out of the shower, you
go to get dressed, your blinds are open. Do you
shut them or do you say fuck it and keep
(10:21):
them open because that's your house. Dammit, don't look in
my window if you don't want to see me naked
in my own bedroom. Now. Of course, I if I
notice there's people directly outside or in their yard next door,
I'll be courteous and shut the blinds. But if it's
early in the morning or late at night, I don't
see anybody out there. I am one hundred percent the
naked neighbor. My wife is not. She shuts the blinds
ninety nine percent of the time. Love, a regular listener
(10:44):
and staff writer from Sammy Naked neighbor. Yes or no,
I'm not the naked.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Well, you know what I might be because my so
I live in the on garden level, so my windows
are actually at the top of my wall. And when
I put on my pajamas in my room, my one
of my bedroom windows does have the blinds up because
my cat sits in the window.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Okay, and so you gotta have that open.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
I have to have it open. And if I wanted
to pull the blinds down, I would have to crawl
up onto my bed, stand up and then draw the
blinds to change in my pajamas. And I don't bother,
so I just literally turned my back and face the
other wall, okay, to put on my potation.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
And if somebody were walking by at the opportune moment,
they might see you in your underpants.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Yep, they would see me in my underpants.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
I look in windows constantly. I never see anybody naked.
It's not fair.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
It's not fair.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
It's not fair.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
I will tell you that our upstairs bathroom I think
if you really craned your neck, it would be visible
to look in that window from the neighbor's house. I
always kept that closed, and the reason was because I
didn't want the young teenage neighbor girl to ever ever
look into the bathroom and see mister Kibbler naked. And
(12:01):
she's grown now, she's probably Carson's age or a little
bit older. But we've lived there for twenty two years,
and I never knew whether she could see that window
from her bedroom, and I never wanted her to look
over and be like disturbed at night because she sees
me getting dressed or undressed. And it was just like,
it's just so funny, because when you grow up with kids,
(12:24):
you just don't want them to ever even other people's kids.
Is like, man, you don't want to see this white, pasty, hairy,
pink belly. So oh, all right, that is it for
the Minnesota Goodbye. There's a lot of emails we did
not get to. Don't despair if we didn't get to yours.
Like I said, we're up against the clock today and
we'll get to more tomorrow. But as I'm looking at it,
tomorrow was also another busy day and I've I've got
(12:47):
a big boss coming in tomorrow to meet with me tomorrow,
one from out of town. He's from Pittsburgh. He likes me,
and I like him. He's a really cool guy. But
I have no idea what we're going to talk about.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
I guess you'll find out. I'll let you know, and
you'll tell us on the Minnesota Goodbye, Thank you,
