Speaker 1 (00:00):
Jenny's out in the hallway or something. But we're gonna
go ahead and get started with the Minnesota Goodbye. I
don't think she would mind. We didn't get to do
it yesterday. Yeah, because we were at the Children's Minnesota
and raising money, so we did not get a chance
to do it. We're gonna start off with my Lava,
juan Nita and her rent. Here we go. So this
(00:21):
week's rants.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
About these brands and their identity crisis. So first of all,
we're gonna start with Crocer Barrel. So they tried to
modernize their logo to attract the young, the younger crowd. Yeah,
because nothing says TikTok treateding like rocket chairs and biscuits.
But guess what that should back by it the stocks
went down. Old people was complaining the young people really
didn't even give a shit.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
But then explain to me why in.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
The pancake flipping hell won't they put Big Mama back
on the ancient Mama box. Don't give me no damn
Pearl Milling company. I mean that shit sounds like I'm
buying gravel for my driveway now breakfast when I make
a pancake, I don't want to see some industrial sounding meal.
I want Big Mama smiling at me, like, oh baby,
flip that pancake before it burns. And then let's take
(01:09):
a look at Uncle Ben. They just yanked his ass
right off the rice. Now it's uncle is Ben's original.
Excuse me, it doesn't even sound appetizing. It sounds like
some generic store branch shampoo. No thank you, and don't
even get me started on the cream of week. They
took the man off the box like he was a
fucking criminal on the run. For what. I need that
(01:31):
face looking back at me while I'm eating a bland
porridge because it's the only thing that made me feel
good about it. But you know who's chilling is mister
Quaker oats. This man has been on the fucking box
since the goddamn Pilgrims landed. He's been staring at us
for over forty years. They'll erase everybody else, but not
his ass. Apparently apparently you can't touch oatmeal.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Jesus.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Well, that's my runt for this week. I'll talk to
you guys next week.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Love you by no good one Coming from a woman
of color, it's nice to hear her opinion rather than
a bunch of white people saying here's the way it
should be. I was never bothered by Uncle Ben aunt Jemima.
I was never bothered by the cream of wheat guy, which,
by the way, cream of wheat, you ever had it?
It's pretty gross.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
No, I don't think I have. I don't even know
who the cream of wheak guy is.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
It's a chef. And if I remember right, he's a
black chef. He's cute.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Frank L.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
White his name. Yeah, So you know, I don't know
that I get a vote in that one. I had
no problem with it, but I guess people were trying
to be respectful of like, hey, if it's offensive, But
at the same time, Betty Crocker is like a white lady. Yeah,
and you know, I mean, we don't jump up and
(02:46):
down about that. So, you know, Wannita, thank you for
your opinion.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
I will say the thing about Cracker Barrel that I
don't know somebody who knows like things about design and whatever.
I heard from them that the reason they had redesigned
cracker barrels or wanted to so that if a cracker
barrel closes that they could easily sell that building. And
that's why they were going to redesign it, even though
they made it seem like we're going to update it
(03:12):
for the modern viewer or whatever. I think, like deep down,
the like business choice is so that you can sell
the building better, because.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
It's harder to sell a cracker barrel.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
Looking building to anyone other than cracker barrel.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
That makes sense, Yeah, I think that. For example, there's
an Old Hardies in Waconia and it's obviously an Old Hardies,
but it's now a daycare, right, but they turned it
into a daycare when it was an Old Hardies. Yeah,
there was a My girlfriend used to work at a
Kentucky Fried Chicken in Colorado Springs and the building is
still there but is now a dry cleaner, but the
(03:44):
drive up window is still on the side of it.
And then there's a porn shop in Colorado Springs that
I frequent because I'm a big rubber penis guy. I
love I love a rubber penis. Sure you know I.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
Mean called it a rubber penis. Don't we just call
it a del though?
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Well, a dildo to me is hard and firm and
battery operated. Am I wrong about that?
Speaker 3 (04:07):
I think that's a vibrator.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
So you're just getting flaccid rubber penis.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Oh no, it's definitely erect. Yeah, yeah, it's definitely erect.
I mean, who wants a flaccid rubber penis?
Speaker 4 (04:15):
I don't know, but they do sell those sex shops
and I kind of look at them and I was like,
why what, I don't know, like just.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
To look at it's not a flaccid rubber dick.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
Yes, what I know.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
Drag kings who use them?
Speaker 4 (04:28):
Oh, I mean that makes sense.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Yeah, yeah, I can. Only when you say, like a
flaccid rubber penis, I just think of the kind of
those like squishy things that you throw out the wall
and then they.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Like they wall. Yeah, well that sounds like fun. The
reason I bring up the sex shop, it's called First
Amendment Bookstore in Colorado Springs. Big fan. I have a
monthly you know, the discount, the punch card, the membership,
the membership. Yeah, but it used to be a drive
up bank back when I was a kid. We would
go through there several times. And so the drive up
(04:58):
window is still on the outside of this building. And yes,
I've been inside. The bank vault is still inside there
as well, right exactly, but it's been converted to a
sex shop. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
I'm sure they had a hard time selling that bank
building and so they could only sell it to a
sex shop.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
So yeah, that's I think that's the reason why they
were trying to change them, and that they like, you know,
boring of five McDonald's too, and like all that other stuff.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
There's a lot of businesses that do the like kitschy
thing where they do buy like some old wind and
then they turn it into whatever it is.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
Like the there's a thrift shop in Uptown that's an
old white castle that still looks like a castle. I
love that place. I've never been in, but I like
driving by. Yeah, oh good times.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Good times. Well I just closed the window with the
Minnesota goodbye, so I'm going to open it up again.
I never really understood the uproar over the cracker barrel thing,
but I just thought it's kind of like brands will
update their picture, like every once in a while, every
four to five years, Pepsi will change the look on
their can because you don't want If you go back
(06:04):
and you look at the Pepsi logo, it's basically the
same over the years, but it's been modernized and you
know that's I think that's good because PEPSI can't look
like it did in nineteen eighty four. It needs to
look more modern. And that's why I've always had a
little bit of a problem with the KDWDB logo because
the KWDB logo is iconic and it's the script kind
(06:25):
of a sloppy handwriting, like with a marker, and it's
got the what is it? We're looking at it right now,
it's got the underline. But it has not changed in
over forty years.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
People do really like it in general.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
You see, I thought it should be modernized a little bit.
My idea was to make it look like a three
D ball, because it's a round logo, and if it
looked like a three D ball, it could still look
like the KDWDB logo, but it would look three D.
Does that make sense. Yeah, So it shines a little
bit like there'd be a little glint of light up
(06:59):
on the side of it, and it would look like
a three D ball. But here's the problem, and I'll
just go ahead and tell you the absolute truth. They
can't change it because iHeart said, if you are not
going to use that logo, you have to use a
generic logo that we give to you. Oh yes, and
(07:20):
so we don't want to use a generic logo that
looks just like Chicago and Knoxville and Dallas, so we
stick with that one. And to me, I think it
should be modernized because I don't I think in a
business like radio, where you've got to remain hip and relevant,
you've got to modernize. But you've got this logo that
literally your parents used to watch look at when they
(07:43):
were fifteen years old.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
I know the amount of people when I've worn that
sweatshirt from the Safe Air this year, that's like, oh
my mom has that from the eighties.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
And that was the point of it is because people
will be like, we want that the vintage look, we
want the vent Thankfully, nostalgia's in so actually it's probab good.
We didn't update it because people are all about Nostalgierah okay, yeah, all.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Right, here's the next one. Would you rather? From Rachel?
My name is Rachel. My question is would you rather
always have a small pebble roll around in your shoe
or always have cheeto dust fingers. I'm gonna say the
pebble in my shoe, even though both are bad. I
have to pick one, So I'm gonna go pebble in
my shoe.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
Jenny, Yeah, i'd go pebble. I just don't. I'd constantly
be licking my fingers, like hoping the dust eventually goes home.
We'll go, well it won't.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
Yeah, I'm gonna go with the Cheeto dust fingers because
I always have a snack, all right.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Next one is from Aaron. She lives in Morrison, Illinois,
and she says, I grew up in Minnesota listening to
the Dave Ryan Show, and I don't miss the Minnesota
Goodbye podcast. It's my daily dose of home. This afternoon,
I was watching my local Quad Cities news on TV
and they cut to a story about Pitch a friend
in the Twin Cities, and I thought, I'll bet Bailey
(09:00):
is there. Sure enough, they showed Bailey three or four times, Yeper.
I was so excited. I felt like seeing a friend
on TV. It really is a small world. You guys
are my favorite. I'll put my address below for a
staff writer sticker, or tell me about this event.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
So this picture friend, I've gone to a bunch of them.
They're just singles events where you do PowerPoint presentations on
your single friends and it's just like you have mingled
time afterwards and hopefully you know, meet the love of
your life whatever. And I've gotten a handful of them,
and at one of them they had Caro Levin there.
I was not interviewed or anything. I was just there
and I ended up being on camera like yeah, a
(09:36):
handful of times. So many people were sending me like videos,
screenshots of me on it. They got me from the
worst angle for one of them.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't well.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
I have this mole on my chin that I hate,
and so every picture you see of me, I'm posing
with the side of my face that doesn't have the mole,
and they shot like up from the bottom of mole
side of my face and it's just like, you guys
did me dirty.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
I think you look fine. By the way, look at
the sunrise. It looks very beautiful. Right now. By the
time you listen to this, the sunrise, the sunrise will
be over.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
Last night was so pretty out of bike riding. Oh
my gosh, let me show you this little Collis. I'll
show you later more on the Minnesota. Okay, so that
doesn't really.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Help but if you, I never knew that you didn't
like your mole. I know a good friend of mine
has a mole right between her nose and her cheek,
right in that little hollow, and it's the size of
a pee and it's not attractive. But she's never decided.
You know, she's fifty, she's never gotten rid of it. Yeah,
but you want you don't like yours, you want to
get rid of it.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
I would love to get rid of it, but at
this point, like anything that I don't like about my face,
if I wanted to fix it, it would count as
cosmetic and I can't afford to do a bunch of
cosmetic surgery to my face.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Because we let was to do a five K fun
run for my mole and then raise money for Bailey's
mole remo.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
We also shave down my browbone because that's also really
a topic of I hate it.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Bailey looking behind my ear today because there's a lump
behind my ear and I don't know what it is.
It feels like a vein. It's like an inch long
or so.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
It doesn't seem it doesn't look like anything. It just
looks like you have a black head next to it.
And I think that that is what's irritating it.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
It was not there yesterday because I you know, it's
funny how we examine parts of our body inadvertently, Like
as you're washing you're junk in the shower and you're like,
oh my god, I got testicular cancer. Oh no, Or
you're washing your boobs in the shower and you're like,
oh my god, there's a lump there. Because we are
familiar with our own bodies, we are very much.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
Yeah, do you feel like you need me to come
over there and pop it whatever it is?
Speaker 1 (11:38):
No, I really don't like you touching me because you surgery.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
On blisters on my feet. Why don't you let me
get in on something.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
I wore rubber gloves too, because I was not going
to have that uzy looking thing pop all over me.
So yes, I did do surgery. Hello morning crew. You
can say. My name is Stacy. I started listening to
your station after moving down to the Twin Cities from
Da LU about five years ago. Been a fan ever since.
Thank you. I wanted to email because last night, when
(12:05):
my husband and I were laying in bed watching our
comfort show How I Met your Mother, we were on
the episode where Ted spontaneously bought a condemned house during
a midlife crisis, and the group started to play a
game drunk or a Kid, and I instantly thought of
the Morning Show. It made me wonder if the show
had maybe gotten inspiration for this segment from them, or
(12:26):
it was some kind of coincidence, just a random thought
question I had. Sorry if this question has already been
asked before. Hope you have a wonderful weekend. Can I
get a staff writer sticker? Yes, it's on its way. No,
we actually got it from a friend of ours name Kevin,
who works in Florida. And Kevin actually got into radio
because of me. When he was twelve years old. He
came to a broadcast in Bexley, Ohio. We were doing
(12:50):
a broadcast from somewhere and his mom brought him along.
He was like twelve years old, maybe fifteen, and he
decided right then and there that he wanted to get
into radio. Now he's very successful. His name is Kevin
and Rolston are lst Inn and he's my buddy. And
I nominated him into the the A Radio Hall of
Fame of sorts last year, and so we got it
(13:11):
from him. So we don't get a lot of ideas
from other radio shows. Most of them we come up
with ourselves. We do we really do? Yeah, thank you
created Dacey next one mainly for Dave. You've been in
the radio industry for a long time. What are your
thoughts on Howard Stern and his evolution over the years.
(13:31):
Have you ever been a listener of his show or
have any opinions on it? I think Stern is getting
close to retirement. I listened to him from twenty twenty
to twenty twenty five, but stop because I didn't want
to pay for serious axim anymore. I also got kyed
have irritated that all of his staff goes to their
New York studios to work, but Stern does every show
from his basement studio and won't even go in for
celebrity interviews. Thanks, keep doing what you're doing. Not a
(13:54):
fan of Howard Stern. I think that he has He
spent years demeaning and diminishing women and gay people, and
having women come in to show their boobies and talk
about how hot they were and how he wanted to
have sex with them. And one thing that Howard Stern
did was after Columbine, you know, the big high school
shooting in ninety seven, Howard Stern was on the air
(14:17):
watching the videos and he's like, you know, look at
all those girls running out. Man, Oh, they're all well,
they're hot.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
Man.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
I would have stopped him and had sex with them.
You can't believe nobody stopped him and had sex with him,
because that's what I would do. I would stop those
high school girls and have sex with them. And to me,
that's despicable. Yeah, And so Howard, you can't find that
clip anywhere on YouTube, him and his team because he's
a you know, millionaire billionaire. He has wiped the internet
clean of that being said. Now, I didn't hear it myself,
(14:43):
but I heard from reliable sources. And that was his
brand back in the day, to be a shock jock
and to be disgusting.
Speaker 4 (14:49):
He was like the most extreme shock job.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
But now he's like, because times have changed. Now he's
mister family man, and he talks about his mental health
and he talks about very vult honerable things. Is like, bitch,
which one are you? Are you the sexist, racist, demeaning
of women and gay people or are you the fan?
He he will bend with the wind to fit whatever
(15:12):
he should be doing.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
Is he the curly haired guy that wears like sunglasses Yep, yeah, it's.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
A wig by the way, Okay, totally wig.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Yeah. I've seen just videos of him like asking Anna
Nicole Smith why she's fat and saying that he wants
to see Britney Spears. The only reason anyone cared about
her is because she of her boobs. Yeah, And I'm
just like hmm yeah, not a fan, not a fan.
And that's what I know him for, the just the
clips of all of those things.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
And I think the guys that listen to Howard Sturner
all a bunch of like, you know, doe heads, were
like yeah, tities, yeah yeah, make make him feel stupid, Howard,
because it's a lot of powerless men that feel like
demeaning women gives them some sort of power. Uh. There's
an actress named Dana Plato when she was on a
nineteen seventy show called Different Strokes, and as she got older,
(15:58):
she had some drug problems, and you know, she died
from a drug overdose a couple of days after she
was on Howard stern Show. And a lot of people
blame Howard Stern for demeaning her on his show that
she then went and killed herself. Another Howard Stern story,
there was a DJ in Chicago named Man Cow. Howard
(16:19):
Stern was syndicated into Chicago and he wanted to rile
up Man Cow, who was the big DJ there. So
he talked about how he dug up Man Cow's dead
father and had sex with him because he wanted to
rile up Man Cow. So that was Howard Stern's that
was his stick. He was a shot shot here. Disgusting, deplorable, detestable,
(16:44):
how strange. So no, I don't like Howard Stern. I
think he is a big, rich, powerful person. Oh yeah,
that hides behind all of his you know, doe head followers.
So hey, you asked Robert. Okay, I'm not saying you're
a doughhead, but no, it's just not a fan. Okay,
(17:05):
let's see what else we got here? Can we discuss bedays?
Says Jenny. Hell, yeah, do any of you have one
or tried one? We're thinking about getting one, so I
was curious if it'd be worth it. Yes, have a
great day. You're all kind of hot. Thanks Jenny Swanson,
what a great Minnesota name. Swanson Jenny, you're the expert
on bidets. Let's talk.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
I actually feel like Bailey might be a little bit
more than me, and she's had them alonger than me,
but we both have them. We got Day one for
his birthday last year. And let me just tell you something.
When my girlfriends came to visit last weekend, we all
are like trying to be respectful of like needing to
go number two, so like we all use the downstairs
basement away from everyone on the main floor if we
had to, But that one does not have the bidet,
(17:45):
and so like I was, I was missing a piece
of meat. I go down there and be like, where's
my budet? But yes, I'm a pro badet person. And
you can get a decently cheap one off Amazon. That's
like and even like the I think which one did
we get day Is it called tushy Tushy? Yeah, I
think so nicer one. Yeah, that's a nice and that
one's not even like two too expensive?
Speaker 1 (18:07):
Fifty is seventy dollars?
Speaker 4 (18:08):
Maybe, I think probably I want to say, yeah, like
seventy sure, Yeah, I.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
Love mine and I definitely recommend it. I have a
cheap one. The only thing with the cheap ones. Is
that like the water that comes out and hits you
right in the butt is cold.
Speaker 4 (18:23):
But it never bothers me.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
Yeah. Trip had a really nice one that had like
air coming out of it, had like warm water.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
It was really did yeah really well anyone like that.
It was like way too much time in the bathroom.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
Yeah, it was so nice. And so now every time
I go to someone's house and they have a BI day,
it's like you walk in, shut the door, realize there's
a BI day, and then you're like, yes, yep. So
it truly does turn your day around. I love my Biday.
Get one.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Get one, and I will tell you this one. You
guys got me one. I can't believe it was on
my birthday. It seems longer ago than that. Almost a
year now, Okay, that I guess. So it comes with
a few pieces. You do a little bit of self plumbing,
but it's very easy to hook up. I am not
a plumbing guy. You should never do your own plumbing
work or your own electric work. I was able to
(19:11):
hook it up myself. I put a little like a
little bowl under it for the first day or two
to make sure if it was leaking that it would
catch in the bowl. It's never leaked. It works just fine.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
And even when my toilet got like ripped out, they
didn't have to undo the bdet. It just stays on there.
It's so nice, amazing, amazing, get one.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
So yeah, there you go. We have. Now we went
from like not enough emails to an abundance of emails,
and so we will get to some of them on
Monday's Minnesota Goodbye. But that doesn't mean you're off the
hook for writing in and letting us know what you
want to talk about, whether you want to talk about
rubber penises or old banks or the pepsi logo, whatever
(19:52):
you want to talk about. Maybe we inspired something, Maybe
we gave you like a little add moment where we
said pepsi and you're like, oh, well, now we got
to talk about the Vikings game because they sell pepsi
at the Viking whatever it is.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
There's another Viking game this weekend. I felt like, didn't
they just.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
Played They played on Monday?
Speaker 4 (20:08):
Yeah, yeah, they played once a week.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
They play about once a week. Yeah, oh you didn't
know that. No, Yeah, football games are usually about once
a week because they need more time to recover. Baseball
games are every couple of days. Basketball games are every
couple of days.
Speaker 4 (20:22):
The Packers just played last night and they played Sunday,
so that was.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
They win last night. We watched, We watched for a
little bit. Yeah, it did all right. That is the
Minnesota goodbye. Thank you for listening. Whether you're in Illinois
Quad Cities or wherever you are, thank you for listening.
We'd love to hear from you. Seriously. Your emails make
our day. Ryan's Show at KDWB dot com
Jenny's out in the hallway or something. But we're gonna
go ahead and get started with the Minnesota Goodbye. I
don't think she would mind. We didn't get to do
it yesterday. Yeah, because we were at the Children's Minnesota
and raising money, so we did not get a chance
to do it. We're gonna start off with my Lava,
juan Nita and her rent. Here we go. So this
(00:21):
week's rants.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
About these brands and their identity crisis. So first of all,
we're gonna start with Crocer Barrel. So they tried to
modernize their logo to attract the young, the younger crowd. Yeah,
because nothing says TikTok treateding like rocket chairs and biscuits.
But guess what that should back by it the stocks
went down. Old people was complaining the young people really
didn't even give a shit.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
But then explain to me why in.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
The pancake flipping hell won't they put Big Mama back
on the ancient Mama box. Don't give me no damn
Pearl Milling company. I mean that shit sounds like I'm
buying gravel for my driveway now breakfast when I make
a pancake, I don't want to see some industrial sounding meal.
I want Big Mama smiling at me, like, oh baby,
flip that pancake before it burns. And then let's take
(01:09):
a look at Uncle Ben. They just yanked his ass
right off the rice. Now it's uncle is Ben's original.
Excuse me, it doesn't even sound appetizing. It sounds like
some generic store branch shampoo. No thank you, and don't
even get me started on the cream of week. They
took the man off the box like he was a
fucking criminal on the run. For what. I need that
(01:31):
face looking back at me while I'm eating a bland
porridge because it's the only thing that made me feel
good about it. But you know who's chilling is mister
Quaker oats. This man has been on the fucking box
since the goddamn Pilgrims landed. He's been staring at us
for over forty years. They'll erase everybody else, but not
his ass. Apparently apparently you can't touch oatmeal.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Jesus.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Well, that's my runt for this week. I'll talk to
you guys next week.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Love you by no good one Coming from a woman
of color, it's nice to hear her opinion rather than
a bunch of white people saying here's the way it
should be. I was never bothered by Uncle Ben aunt Jemima.
I was never bothered by the cream of wheat guy, which,
by the way, cream of wheat, you ever had it?
It's pretty gross.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
No, I don't think I have. I don't even know
who the cream of wheak guy is.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
It's a chef. And if I remember right, he's a
black chef. He's cute.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Frank L.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
White his name. Yeah, So you know, I don't know
that I get a vote in that one. I had
no problem with it, but I guess people were trying
to be respectful of like, hey, if it's offensive, But
at the same time, Betty Crocker is like a white lady. Yeah,
and you know, I mean, we don't jump up and
(02:46):
down about that. So, you know, Wannita, thank you for
your opinion.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
I will say the thing about Cracker Barrel that I
don't know somebody who knows like things about design and whatever.
I heard from them that the reason they had redesigned
cracker barrels or wanted to so that if a cracker
barrel closes that they could easily sell that building. And
that's why they were going to redesign it, even though
they made it seem like we're going to update it
(03:12):
for the modern viewer or whatever. I think, like deep down,
the like business choice is so that you can sell
the building better, because.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
It's harder to sell a cracker barrel.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
Looking building to anyone other than cracker barrel.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
That makes sense, Yeah, I think that. For example, there's
an Old Hardies in Waconia and it's obviously an Old Hardies,
but it's now a daycare, right, but they turned it
into a daycare when it was an Old Hardies. Yeah,
there was a My girlfriend used to work at a
Kentucky Fried Chicken in Colorado Springs and the building is
still there but is now a dry cleaner, but the
(03:44):
drive up window is still on the side of it.
And then there's a porn shop in Colorado Springs that
I frequent because I'm a big rubber penis guy. I
love I love a rubber penis. Sure you know I.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
Mean called it a rubber penis. Don't we just call
it a del though?
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Well, a dildo to me is hard and firm and
battery operated. Am I wrong about that?
Speaker 3 (04:07):
I think that's a vibrator.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
So you're just getting flaccid rubber penis.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Oh no, it's definitely erect. Yeah, yeah, it's definitely erect.
I mean, who wants a flaccid rubber penis?
Speaker 4 (04:15):
I don't know, but they do sell those sex shops
and I kind of look at them and I was like,
why what, I don't know, like just.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
To look at it's not a flaccid rubber dick.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
Yes, what I know.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
Drag kings who use them?
Speaker 4 (04:28):
Oh, I mean that makes sense.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Yeah, yeah, I can. Only when you say, like a
flaccid rubber penis, I just think of the kind of
those like squishy things that you throw out the wall
and then they.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Like they wall. Yeah, well that sounds like fun. The
reason I bring up the sex shop, it's called First
Amendment Bookstore in Colorado Springs. Big fan. I have a
monthly you know, the discount, the punch card, the membership,
the membership. Yeah, but it used to be a drive
up bank back when I was a kid. We would
go through there several times. And so the drive up
(04:58):
window is still on the outside of this building. And yes,
I've been inside. The bank vault is still inside there
as well, right exactly, but it's been converted to a
sex shop. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
I'm sure they had a hard time selling that bank
building and so they could only sell it to a
sex shop.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
So yeah, that's I think that's the reason why they
were trying to change them, and that they like, you know,
boring of five McDonald's too, and like all that other stuff.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
There's a lot of businesses that do the like kitschy
thing where they do buy like some old wind and
then they turn it into whatever it is.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
Like the there's a thrift shop in Uptown that's an
old white castle that still looks like a castle. I
love that place. I've never been in, but I like
driving by. Yeah, oh good times.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Good times. Well I just closed the window with the
Minnesota goodbye, so I'm going to open it up again.
I never really understood the uproar over the cracker barrel thing,
but I just thought it's kind of like brands will
update their picture, like every once in a while, every
four to five years, Pepsi will change the look on
their can because you don't want If you go back
(06:04):
and you look at the Pepsi logo, it's basically the
same over the years, but it's been modernized and you
know that's I think that's good because PEPSI can't look
like it did in nineteen eighty four. It needs to
look more modern. And that's why I've always had a
little bit of a problem with the KDWDB logo because
the KWDB logo is iconic and it's the script kind
(06:25):
of a sloppy handwriting, like with a marker, and it's
got the what is it? We're looking at it right now,
it's got the underline. But it has not changed in
over forty years.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
People do really like it in general.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
You see, I thought it should be modernized a little bit.
My idea was to make it look like a three
D ball, because it's a round logo, and if it
looked like a three D ball, it could still look
like the KDWDB logo, but it would look three D.
Does that make sense. Yeah, So it shines a little
bit like there'd be a little glint of light up
(06:59):
on the side of it, and it would look like
a three D ball. But here's the problem, and I'll
just go ahead and tell you the absolute truth. They
can't change it because iHeart said, if you are not
going to use that logo, you have to use a
generic logo that we give to you. Oh yes, and
(07:20):
so we don't want to use a generic logo that
looks just like Chicago and Knoxville and Dallas, so we
stick with that one. And to me, I think it
should be modernized because I don't I think in a
business like radio, where you've got to remain hip and relevant,
you've got to modernize. But you've got this logo that
literally your parents used to watch look at when they
(07:43):
were fifteen years old.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
I know the amount of people when I've worn that
sweatshirt from the Safe Air this year, that's like, oh
my mom has that from the eighties.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
And that was the point of it is because people
will be like, we want that the vintage look, we
want the vent Thankfully, nostalgia's in so actually it's probab good.
We didn't update it because people are all about Nostalgierah okay, yeah, all.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Right, here's the next one. Would you rather? From Rachel?
My name is Rachel. My question is would you rather
always have a small pebble roll around in your shoe
or always have cheeto dust fingers. I'm gonna say the
pebble in my shoe, even though both are bad. I
have to pick one, So I'm gonna go pebble in
my shoe.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
Jenny, Yeah, i'd go pebble. I just don't. I'd constantly
be licking my fingers, like hoping the dust eventually goes home.
We'll go, well it won't.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
Yeah, I'm gonna go with the Cheeto dust fingers because
I always have a snack, all right.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Next one is from Aaron. She lives in Morrison, Illinois,
and she says, I grew up in Minnesota listening to
the Dave Ryan Show, and I don't miss the Minnesota
Goodbye podcast. It's my daily dose of home. This afternoon,
I was watching my local Quad Cities news on TV
and they cut to a story about Pitch a friend
in the Twin Cities, and I thought, I'll bet Bailey
(09:00):
is there. Sure enough, they showed Bailey three or four times, Yeper.
I was so excited. I felt like seeing a friend
on TV. It really is a small world. You guys
are my favorite. I'll put my address below for a
staff writer sticker, or tell me about this event.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
So this picture friend, I've gone to a bunch of them.
They're just singles events where you do PowerPoint presentations on
your single friends and it's just like you have mingled
time afterwards and hopefully you know, meet the love of
your life whatever. And I've gotten a handful of them,
and at one of them they had Caro Levin there.
I was not interviewed or anything. I was just there
and I ended up being on camera like yeah, a
(09:36):
handful of times. So many people were sending me like videos,
screenshots of me on it. They got me from the
worst angle for one of them.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't well.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
I have this mole on my chin that I hate,
and so every picture you see of me, I'm posing
with the side of my face that doesn't have the mole,
and they shot like up from the bottom of mole
side of my face and it's just like, you guys
did me dirty.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
I think you look fine. By the way, look at
the sunrise. It looks very beautiful. Right now. By the
time you listen to this, the sunrise, the sunrise will
be over.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
Last night was so pretty out of bike riding. Oh
my gosh, let me show you this little Collis. I'll
show you later more on the Minnesota. Okay, so that
doesn't really.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Help but if you, I never knew that you didn't
like your mole. I know a good friend of mine
has a mole right between her nose and her cheek,
right in that little hollow, and it's the size of
a pee and it's not attractive. But she's never decided.
You know, she's fifty, she's never gotten rid of it. Yeah,
but you want you don't like yours, you want to
get rid of it.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
I would love to get rid of it, but at
this point, like anything that I don't like about my face,
if I wanted to fix it, it would count as
cosmetic and I can't afford to do a bunch of
cosmetic surgery to my face.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Because we let was to do a five K fun
run for my mole and then raise money for Bailey's
mole remo.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
We also shave down my browbone because that's also really
a topic of I hate it.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Bailey looking behind my ear today because there's a lump
behind my ear and I don't know what it is.
It feels like a vein. It's like an inch long
or so.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
It doesn't seem it doesn't look like anything. It just
looks like you have a black head next to it.
And I think that that is what's irritating it.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
It was not there yesterday because I you know, it's
funny how we examine parts of our body inadvertently, Like
as you're washing you're junk in the shower and you're like,
oh my god, I got testicular cancer. Oh no, Or
you're washing your boobs in the shower and you're like,
oh my god, there's a lump there. Because we are
familiar with our own bodies, we are very much.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
Yeah, do you feel like you need me to come
over there and pop it whatever it is?
Speaker 1 (11:38):
No, I really don't like you touching me because you surgery.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
On blisters on my feet. Why don't you let me
get in on something.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
I wore rubber gloves too, because I was not going
to have that uzy looking thing pop all over me.
So yes, I did do surgery. Hello morning crew. You
can say. My name is Stacy. I started listening to
your station after moving down to the Twin Cities from
Da LU about five years ago. Been a fan ever since.
Thank you. I wanted to email because last night, when
(12:05):
my husband and I were laying in bed watching our
comfort show How I Met your Mother, we were on
the episode where Ted spontaneously bought a condemned house during
a midlife crisis, and the group started to play a
game drunk or a Kid, and I instantly thought of
the Morning Show. It made me wonder if the show
had maybe gotten inspiration for this segment from them, or
(12:26):
it was some kind of coincidence, just a random thought
question I had. Sorry if this question has already been
asked before. Hope you have a wonderful weekend. Can I
get a staff writer sticker? Yes, it's on its way. No,
we actually got it from a friend of ours name Kevin,
who works in Florida. And Kevin actually got into radio
because of me. When he was twelve years old. He
came to a broadcast in Bexley, Ohio. We were doing
(12:50):
a broadcast from somewhere and his mom brought him along.
He was like twelve years old, maybe fifteen, and he
decided right then and there that he wanted to get
into radio. Now he's very successful. His name is Kevin
and Rolston are lst Inn and he's my buddy. And
I nominated him into the the A Radio Hall of
Fame of sorts last year, and so we got it
(13:11):
from him. So we don't get a lot of ideas
from other radio shows. Most of them we come up
with ourselves. We do we really do? Yeah, thank you
created Dacey next one mainly for Dave. You've been in
the radio industry for a long time. What are your
thoughts on Howard Stern and his evolution over the years.
(13:31):
Have you ever been a listener of his show or
have any opinions on it? I think Stern is getting
close to retirement. I listened to him from twenty twenty
to twenty twenty five, but stop because I didn't want
to pay for serious axim anymore. I also got kyed
have irritated that all of his staff goes to their
New York studios to work, but Stern does every show
from his basement studio and won't even go in for
celebrity interviews. Thanks, keep doing what you're doing. Not a
(13:54):
fan of Howard Stern. I think that he has He
spent years demeaning and diminishing women and gay people, and
having women come in to show their boobies and talk
about how hot they were and how he wanted to
have sex with them. And one thing that Howard Stern
did was after Columbine, you know, the big high school
shooting in ninety seven, Howard Stern was on the air
(14:17):
watching the videos and he's like, you know, look at
all those girls running out. Man, Oh, they're all well,
they're hot.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
Man.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
I would have stopped him and had sex with them.
You can't believe nobody stopped him and had sex with him,
because that's what I would do. I would stop those
high school girls and have sex with them. And to me,
that's despicable. Yeah, And so Howard, you can't find that
clip anywhere on YouTube, him and his team because he's
a you know, millionaire billionaire. He has wiped the internet
clean of that being said. Now, I didn't hear it myself,
(14:43):
but I heard from reliable sources. And that was his
brand back in the day, to be a shock jock
and to be disgusting.
Speaker 4 (14:49):
He was like the most extreme shock job.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
But now he's like, because times have changed. Now he's
mister family man, and he talks about his mental health
and he talks about very vult honerable things. Is like, bitch,
which one are you? Are you the sexist, racist, demeaning
of women and gay people or are you the fan?
He he will bend with the wind to fit whatever
(15:12):
he should be doing.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
Is he the curly haired guy that wears like sunglasses Yep, yeah, it's.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
A wig by the way, Okay, totally wig.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Yeah. I've seen just videos of him like asking Anna
Nicole Smith why she's fat and saying that he wants
to see Britney Spears. The only reason anyone cared about
her is because she of her boobs. Yeah, And I'm
just like hmm yeah, not a fan, not a fan.
And that's what I know him for, the just the
clips of all of those things.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
And I think the guys that listen to Howard Sturner
all a bunch of like, you know, doe heads, were
like yeah, tities, yeah yeah, make make him feel stupid, Howard,
because it's a lot of powerless men that feel like
demeaning women gives them some sort of power. Uh. There's
an actress named Dana Plato when she was on a
nineteen seventy show called Different Strokes, and as she got older,
(15:58):
she had some drug problems, and you know, she died
from a drug overdose a couple of days after she
was on Howard stern Show. And a lot of people
blame Howard Stern for demeaning her on his show that
she then went and killed herself. Another Howard Stern story,
there was a DJ in Chicago named Man Cow. Howard
(16:19):
Stern was syndicated into Chicago and he wanted to rile
up Man Cow, who was the big DJ there. So
he talked about how he dug up Man Cow's dead
father and had sex with him because he wanted to
rile up Man Cow. So that was Howard Stern's that
was his stick. He was a shot shot here. Disgusting, deplorable, detestable,
(16:44):
how strange. So no, I don't like Howard Stern. I
think he is a big, rich, powerful person. Oh yeah,
that hides behind all of his you know, doe head followers.
So hey, you asked Robert. Okay, I'm not saying you're
a doughhead, but no, it's just not a fan. Okay,
(17:05):
let's see what else we got here? Can we discuss bedays?
Says Jenny. Hell, yeah, do any of you have one
or tried one? We're thinking about getting one, so I
was curious if it'd be worth it. Yes, have a
great day. You're all kind of hot. Thanks Jenny Swanson,
what a great Minnesota name. Swanson Jenny, you're the expert
on bidets. Let's talk.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
I actually feel like Bailey might be a little bit
more than me, and she's had them alonger than me,
but we both have them. We got Day one for
his birthday last year. And let me just tell you something.
When my girlfriends came to visit last weekend, we all
are like trying to be respectful of like needing to
go number two, so like we all use the downstairs
basement away from everyone on the main floor if we
had to, But that one does not have the bidet,
(17:45):
and so like I was, I was missing a piece
of meat. I go down there and be like, where's
my budet? But yes, I'm a pro badet person. And
you can get a decently cheap one off Amazon. That's
like and even like the I think which one did
we get day Is it called tushy Tushy? Yeah, I
think so nicer one. Yeah, that's a nice and that
one's not even like two too expensive?
Speaker 1 (18:07):
Fifty is seventy dollars?
Speaker 4 (18:08):
Maybe, I think probably I want to say, yeah, like
seventy sure, Yeah, I.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
Love mine and I definitely recommend it. I have a
cheap one. The only thing with the cheap ones. Is
that like the water that comes out and hits you
right in the butt is cold.
Speaker 4 (18:23):
But it never bothers me.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
Yeah. Trip had a really nice one that had like
air coming out of it, had like warm water.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
It was really did yeah really well anyone like that.
It was like way too much time in the bathroom.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
Yeah, it was so nice. And so now every time
I go to someone's house and they have a BI day,
it's like you walk in, shut the door, realize there's
a BI day, and then you're like, yes, yep. So
it truly does turn your day around. I love my Biday.
Get one.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Get one, and I will tell you this one. You
guys got me one. I can't believe it was on
my birthday. It seems longer ago than that. Almost a
year now, Okay, that I guess. So it comes with
a few pieces. You do a little bit of self plumbing,
but it's very easy to hook up. I am not
a plumbing guy. You should never do your own plumbing
work or your own electric work. I was able to
(19:11):
hook it up myself. I put a little like a
little bowl under it for the first day or two
to make sure if it was leaking that it would
catch in the bowl. It's never leaked. It works just fine.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
And even when my toilet got like ripped out, they
didn't have to undo the bdet. It just stays on there.
It's so nice, amazing, amazing, get one.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
So yeah, there you go. We have. Now we went
from like not enough emails to an abundance of emails,
and so we will get to some of them on
Monday's Minnesota Goodbye. But that doesn't mean you're off the
hook for writing in and letting us know what you
want to talk about, whether you want to talk about
rubber penises or old banks or the pepsi logo, whatever
(19:52):
you want to talk about. Maybe we inspired something, Maybe
we gave you like a little add moment where we
said pepsi and you're like, oh, well, now we got
to talk about the Vikings game because they sell pepsi
at the Viking whatever it is.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
There's another Viking game this weekend. I felt like, didn't
they just.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
Played They played on Monday?
Speaker 4 (20:08):
Yeah, yeah, they played once a week.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
They play about once a week. Yeah, oh you didn't
know that. No, Yeah, football games are usually about once
a week because they need more time to recover. Baseball
games are every couple of days. Basketball games are every
couple of days.
Speaker 4 (20:22):
The Packers just played last night and they played Sunday,
so that was.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
They win last night. We watched, We watched for a
little bit. Yeah, it did all right. That is the
Minnesota goodbye. Thank you for listening. Whether you're in Illinois
Quad Cities or wherever you are, thank you for listening.
We'd love to hear from you. Seriously. Your emails make
our day. Ryan's Show at KDWB dot com
