Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Bailey and I are sitting here talking about you know,
is there anything interesting that we have going on our
lives that we can talk about as a bonus on
the Minnesota Goodbye. Not really. I think it's one of
those times in my life where, you know, I always
had a rule in radio, have a life. Have a
life so you'll have something to talk about on radio.
And I realized this, like, you know, when I was
probably twenty two twenty three years old. Have a life,

(00:20):
so don't just go home and do nothing, because that's
not very interesting to talk about on the radio. And
you know, have experiences and things like that. So over
the years, I've like, you know, learned to ride a motorcycle,
learn to fly an airplane, hiking, camping, magic ukulelely, things
like that. But in the last few years, probably since
the end of twenty twenty two ish, I just haven't

(00:41):
really had a lot of new I mean, besides Alison
having babies and get in an RV I guess that counts, yeah,
But right now I don't really have a lot of
new anything. I did learn to count Macro's on an
app Yesterday's exciting. Yeah, I don't know about exciting, but
It's like, we're not supposed to count calories because they

(01:01):
can be misleading, but macros And I'm not going to
get into it because it's terribly boring, but I get
an app on my phone that now counts macros.

Speaker 2 (01:10):
I know you weren't supposed to count calories, Well.

Speaker 1 (01:12):
You sure can. You can count calories. Yeah, but they
say that if you're counting calories, you could be getting
all the calories. You the right amount of calories, but
they could be the wrong kind. They could be all
from fat fat pizza and Chipotle, whereas with macros you'll
get you know, like the protein because we need more
protein than we think. And I don't you know this
is boring already. Yeah, but yeah, So I'm learning to

(01:33):
count macros and there's an app on the phone called
macros first that I'm using to track my food. I
was told to do it for a week. I said,
I'm not going to track anything, and they said, do
it for a week. Just dedicate commit to doing it
for a week, and then after that you'll decide whether
you can still do it or whether you don't want
to do it. So, yeah, that's the most exciting thing

(01:55):
guy got going on yeah, you just talked about getting
married to somebody.

Speaker 2 (01:59):
Oh yeah, that's because I like to jump the gun.
So yeah, I have. I've gone on two dates with
this guy I'm met on Hinge and I have one
more on Monday. His hours are weird because he was like,
when are you available? Because I invited him to something
last night and he couldn't go, which is fine because
I invited him very last minute. But I said, I
can do like Tuesday, Thursday next week because I thought,

(02:21):
like night time that's when you go on dates. And
he's like, cool, I'm available like from three to seven.

Speaker 1 (02:26):
A weird and like three toy, does you have kids
or a family?

Speaker 2 (02:29):
No, he's apparently his job like they work in the
morning and then they kind of have to like come
back and do more work at night, which is weird.
And so I mean maybe he has kids in a
family that would be wild. But so anyway, we're doing
something on Monday because I said, if that's your schedule,
then Monday actually works better for me. And so we're
gonna walk around a lake okay okay, and maybe get coffee.

(02:52):
I don't know, Okay, that sounds nice.

Speaker 1 (02:53):
Is he a chatty kind of a comfortably conversational person.

Speaker 2 (02:56):
He's to be around.

Speaker 1 (02:58):
Yeah, okay, good, because walk around the lake would not
be good if somebody who's not oh conversation.

Speaker 2 (03:02):
I'll see, we'll see if he can fare around the lake.
I said, do you want to walk around like Cedar Lake?
And he said I've never walked around Cedar Lake and
I was like, okay, well half of it's in the woods,
so you got to wear your off rowden shoes, so
we'll see.

Speaker 1 (03:16):
Okay. So really not much going on with us.

Speaker 2 (03:19):
Not much going on.

Speaker 1 (03:20):
Let's dive into the emails. This is from Rebecca. She says,
I got to remind her email from Cameo that I
get a fifteen ninety nine credit in my account. A
few years ago, I had requested a cameo from Day
for my sister's birthday and he never did it, so
they put a credit in my account. So who should
I book on cameo? Obviously not Dave since he won't
do it. Oh my god, I want to call out,

(03:42):
don't I don't. I'm sorry. I don't know how I
missed that because I absolutely do cameos and it's possible
you Cameo is one of those videos where it's like
Hi it's Dave, or Hi it's Brett Farv or Hi
it's Cindy Lapper. And you pay a different price for
you know, the level of the celebrity and and you
get one minute of them saying happy birthday or like whatever. Yeah,

(04:04):
and I charge I think of you obviously fifteen ninety nine.
And I don't do it for the money. I do
it because if somebody cares about me enough that they
want me to do a birthday video and pay for it,
well I'm sure gonna do it. Yeah. So I think
I probably opened it up, saw it, and then forgot
about it, and then I didn't get another notification. So, Rebecca,
if you want to just send me an email to

(04:29):
Ryan show at Katie what you be? Oh you did get?
Write me back, give me your phone number, and I
will just send you a text message video of whatever
you want.

Speaker 2 (04:38):
Yeah, okay, wow, so out.

Speaker 1 (04:42):
No, I don't mind. And if you want to get
a cameo from me, you can get a cameo on
the cameo app. So why not?

Speaker 2 (04:50):
All right?

Speaker 1 (04:50):
I got to pick on a few of you because
I listened daily to everything you put out. The first
one is for Bailey. Bailey, I would like you to
pronounce the word costume as in Halloween costume costume. Say
it again, costume. I was, yeah, where do you get
this sound from? As pronounced by Bailey costume costume? Because

(05:12):
you have a lisp? Is it your lisp?

Speaker 2 (05:13):
I don't know. I don't think I have a lisp.
I couldn't say my rs when I was a kid,
and now I'm offended.

Speaker 1 (05:18):
That is so cute when the little kids like, we'll
go into it a poti leadah.

Speaker 2 (05:22):
Yeah. And my mom's name is Ronda, so she would
have me say her name in front of her friends
to make them laugh. I'd go Wanda, say go er,
and I go er to go Ronda Wanda, And it
wasn't funny. You grew out of it, though, but apparently
I still say costume, so my my bad.

Speaker 1 (05:41):
You know now that you bring it up, it's funny.
I haven't thought about this in years. My sisters used
to try to get me to say three, and I
would say free because I didn't. I was probably three
years old myself, and I remember specifically being on the
end of the couch in the living room, like David
say three free and they were like, oh, you dumb ass, Jenny,

(06:03):
your she's not here your nowadays you really enunciate the
A nowadays nowadays, Okay, now nowadays. Huh Dave, I'm still
working on yours. Thank you all in fun. Still love
you guys. That's all for now. Continue the darting and
the lickingsh.

Speaker 2 (06:22):
Sure costumes not nearly as bad as a restaurant and
water from vance.

Speaker 1 (06:26):
So wooter is a Jersey thing? A restaurant? How does
he saystant restaurant? Restaurant, restaurant, restaurantise. My name is Corey.
I forgot to say my name last week. I'm the
one who suggested Susan was buying you birthday gifts. Oh
that was when I didn't get invited to the mall
with the family, and because Susan was buying birthday gifts,
that's a that's a nice guess. But uh anyway, this

(06:48):
is about getting back into your car when getting gas.
We talked about this yesterday. The reason you shouldn't do
it is because the act of getting in and out
of your car can generate a static charge on your body,
which can discharge when you reach for the pump handle,
igniting the fumes. This occurs more frequently in winter time
because cold air increases the potential of static generation and
people tend to get back in their car when it's cold.

(07:10):
So stop doing that, Bailey, but you won't. That's all
for now. Take care morning show. Thank you, Corey. Appreciate that.
Here's another one I believe about, yeah, gas and cars
and things. It's a little bit long and I haven't
pre read it, but let's see how we do. Good
Morning Yesterday. You're talking about standing outside the car when
you pump the gas. I get a story. You should

(07:32):
stand outside, even though it's miserable. Three years ago, I'm
getting gas lee after leaving my husband's office, and there
were slits in the tube that connects the pump. Gas
sprayed all over me, my surroundings in my car. Unfortunately,
it was a nice day, so my windows were also
partly down, so gas got in my car. I stopped
the pump, ran in, asking for help, and everybody stared

(07:54):
at me like I was crazy. The fire department had
to be called. They assumed the situation and said, you
should be fine to star it. Excuse you. I stood
there and said should Well, how about those of you
who are trained interested in fire retardant clothing test that theory,
rather than me who's covered in gasoline. They looked at
me like, are you serious, and they reluctantly moved my

(08:15):
car for me. The attended the gas station called as
manager and she said, to just give me cash for
the spilled gas. Excuse you, what about my ruin clothes
in the car? Detailing I now need. I got the
store information manager and intendant's names for record purposes, found
a place who would detail my car, and as the
gas smell was so strong, no way could I put
my kids in the car. Well, long story short. Corporate

(08:38):
grilled me as if it was my fault. So I
sent over receipts of my ruined clothes and the money
to detail everything, etc. And said I had no issues
getting a lawyer if I needed. Luckily, because there were cameras,
they could check everything, and because I had to stand
out there with the gas pump, they couldn't blame me.
Blah blah blah. Long story short. Honestly, this is not
a long story short. This is a long story, but

(09:00):
I get it. I got reimbursed for everything. I never
go to that station anymore. I still ended up needing
a new car, and now I never pump gas with
my windows down or sitting in the car. Sorry, this
is so long, that's okay. I shortened it as much
as I could. Hopefully it was worth the read. Love
you guys, dart Lick Dave. I hope this is also

(09:22):
entertaining when you're checking emails this afternoon. Yes, I didn't
check emails this after yesterday afternoon. I don't know what
I did yesterday afternoon. Do you ever have a day
where you don't know what you did exactly the time?

Speaker 2 (09:34):
Yeah, all the time, all the time. This gasoline story
literally the exact same thing happened to me when I
was like twenty two or something where I was pumping
gas and when I went to take it out, it like,
I don't know, exploded or something and went all over
the side of my car and all over my clothes
as well. And the gas station I was at also
treated me the same way as yours, where they're like,

(09:55):
really do you want us to do? I was like,
I don't know, give me money for the reimbursement on
all my clothing, and because my windows were open to
and it was like the exact same thing and they
were so like, I don't know what you want me
to do all the time. So I totally get you there.
But I was like twenty two, so I wasn't about
to be like, I'm going to hire a lawyer.

Speaker 1 (10:13):
Never had that happen before. I have had it happen where,
very very rarely. The gas pump doesn't stop automatically when
it tops off. Oh yeah, and it kind of spurts
and spills all over the ground. And that's why I
stand outside by my car. You know. I just don't
want that. Yeah, you know, And it kind of sucks
getting gas in the winter in Minnesota. Suck, suck, and

(10:33):
you drive it down until your tank says zero point
three miles left.

Speaker 2 (10:37):
Dadd yells at you. I think you should never have
it go balloh thirty miles and blah blah blah blah.

Speaker 1 (10:44):
You ever ran out of gas? Last time I ran
out of gas was before I had a gas gauge
that was accurate. I had a Volkswagen Bug. I was
driving into work and I was in the middle of nowhere,
downtown Colorado Springs. When I say middle of nowhere, the
part of town where there's no gas stations or whatever,
and so I had to call the station. They came
by and they helped me push it. I don't remember

(11:04):
to a gas date or something. I don't remember.

Speaker 2 (11:06):
I've never run out. I've been my car like goes
down by the miles, so it says like you have
thirty miles left until you need gas, et cetera. And
I definitely rolled up into the gas station when it
was at one mile. Oh I was like, God, I remember.
I remember that like it was yesterday, because I was
so stressed out that I was about to roll up
with one mile left. I've been in the car when

(11:28):
someone ran out of gas, like at the intersection by
the gas station, and he had to like walk and
go and grab like one of those little gas cans
and come out. It was really embarrassing.

Speaker 1 (11:38):
But yeah, now that reminded me. There's another story. I
ran out of gas with a date. We had just
come back from the Columbus Ohio Zoo and we ran
out of gas. And I don't know why I got
so stupid. I guess I thought I could make it home,
but that was before the days of super accurate gas gauges,
so we had to get out. I had a gas
can in my car, walked to the gas station and

(12:00):
and I think we laughed about it.

Speaker 2 (12:01):
Whatever, whatever, Okay, true, huh, but you made it through, Dave.

Speaker 1 (12:05):
We did. We man it here. Thank you. Next one.
I like this one, Hello, says Marie. Hear me out
on this. A close friend of mine recently tried to
convince me that because I like to seek out good
news in this current world political climate, it makes me
extremely tone death. The reality is, I'm obviously aware of
everything going on, and of course I'm as scared and

(12:26):
stressed as the next person. But the truth is that
I'm a natural optimist and I just enjoy hearing good
news Personally. I seek out happy news in such an
intense time rather than wallowing in the bad news and
make myself spiral even more. Is it even appropriate to
do that anymore? What do you think? Absolutely? One percent? Yeah,

(12:46):
you can do whatever you want to. There are people
who obsess over everything, and there are people who are like,
you know what, this is something I Sometimes I just go,
I'm not going to worry about it. There are people
who can actually do something about it that I cannot,
So I will just say I'm not going to do
anything about it let other people worry about it. No.

Speaker 2 (13:08):
Well, I mean I might say, like I can do,
I'll do what I can and I try and stay
you know, aware and mindful and like have an opinion.
But then also you know, have a good time scrolling
mindlessly through TikTok, because like you said, or like the
the emailer said, it's a lot to if that's like

(13:29):
your entire brain space all of the time. Like I
don't want to wake up and be like ohh and
then like go home and hah, and like I don't
want to do that, So I will do all whatever
I need to do to like get my brain off
of it, because I feel the same way. I'm an optimist.
But also I think sitting on your phone is conducive
to feeling like crap.

Speaker 1 (13:50):
Well, and if you if you linger on things that
make you feel like crap, yeah, then your algorithm, as
we all know, will give you everything that makes you
feel like crap, and then you will think the world
is probably worse than it really is. And I think
that that is very common. People will linger on the
stuff that they get emotional about or get strong feelings about,

(14:14):
and then it kind of can ruin your experience when
you should be looking at fun cat videos. There was
a cat or a dog video trend yesterday and I
tried to do it where you sit next to your
dog and call their name.

Speaker 2 (14:24):
Oh yeah, I've seen that, ye yeah.

Speaker 1 (14:26):
And so I did it with Bernie yesterday and it
was very cute. I got Bernie up on the couch
and sat right and Bernie and his ears would pick
up and he tilt his head and he'd look around
and he got confused and he jumped off the couch
and jumped back on Bernie. Bernie, and I thought this
would be great. I need some content to post on
my Instagram.

Speaker 2 (14:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (14:43):
But I looked at the picture of me and I
looked like a one hundred and seven year old man.
I was wearing workout shorts, my legs were like pasty,
skinny and gross. And I had a posture where it
looked like you should put a blanket over my lap
and give me a bowl of soup. And I said this,
I am not posting this right now. Okay, yeah, I

(15:05):
mean the Bernie part. The Bernie part turned out really good. Yeah, okay,
so here we go.

Speaker 2 (15:10):
But you look like a little old man.

Speaker 1 (15:12):
Yeah, look at the legs, Bernie Bernie.

Speaker 2 (15:20):
I mean, they do look like it's called the lighting happened,
Bernie BERNIEE.

Speaker 1 (15:28):
So he gets off the couch, gets back up, Bernie Bernie.
He's so confused, he's looking around like, I'm right here, bitch.

Speaker 2 (15:38):
So anyway, can you cut your legs out of it?

Speaker 1 (15:40):
No? Not no, not really.

Speaker 2 (15:43):
So I think it's the lighting, Like it just so
happens that the light from the window just is beating
right on your legs.

Speaker 1 (15:49):
They it just looked like a spindly old man in
that video, a spindly old man with a little bit
of a belly. And it's like, yeah, bullet soup, I
want to look cute, not spindily. All Right, we got
Juanita save the best for last. Let's do Juanita and
her rent, and here we go, y'all. Ready, okay, here

(16:11):
we go. I need to go.

Speaker 3 (16:13):
Hey, y'all, So this week's rent is about driver's license. Now,
since July, I've been riding around with an expired license
because I totally forgot that my license expired on my birthday.
But could somebody fucking explain to me why the hell
does your license fucking expire? I mean, in two years.
I haven't fucking changed. I got the same goddamn address.

(16:36):
I still look the same. And then on top of that,
you're making me pay forty dollars to renew it. What
the hell for Why am I paying money to change
some to renew some shit that never changed? This shit
pisces me the fuck off. Well it's a short rent,
but that's my rent. I love you guys, bye.

Speaker 1 (16:54):
Oh, we love you back. I mean there's got to
be a reason. Probably be because you know, if you
kept the same one for life from like you know,
sixteen or twenty one or whatever, then you do change,
you do get older. So they're probably like, Okay, well
should we make you do it every ten years? Nah?
Every six months? Nah? How about every four years? Yeah?

(17:14):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (17:15):
In different states it is a longer period of time.
Because I've seen other I've seen people's ideas where I'm
just like, holy crap, this is so old, like you're
a teenager here, and they're like, oh, yeahh not expired.

Speaker 1 (17:26):
Yet, isn't it. It amazes me that I haven't had
to take a driver's road test since I was sixteen.

Speaker 2 (17:36):
I do think they should make you do that.

Speaker 1 (17:38):
Again, for sure, it wouldn't be a bad idea, especially
as you get I mean, seriously, people are going to
go that's age discrimination. But if you're sixty five, you
should be required to go take a road test.

Speaker 2 (17:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (17:49):
My dad drove until he was like sick and like
went to the hospital. And he got in so many
not so many, but enough little fender benders rear ending people.
Air bag went off, and so he chopped the air
bag out of the inside of the car and kept
driving it. And I would not I remember he pulled
that in front of somebody. He was turning right and

(18:11):
there was car coming from the left and he turned
right right in front of this person. The person had
to swerve around him. They're laying on their horn. They're
flipping off my dad. And my dad pretended that he
didn't notice, because I think he was embarrassed. And after that,
I would not let my kids ride in the car
with Dad. And one morning I woke up I was
visiting Mom and dad. Allison was probably four. I woke up,
where's Allison. Oh, she went with your dad to go

(18:33):
get to Go get donuts, And I sat and watched
out the front window until they got back. It was
very sweet that he took Alison to get donuts. But
he is not a good driver. Not a good driver,
So I think they should give you a road test.

Speaker 2 (18:48):
Maybe every like thirty years, get a road test like
you get it at or maybe twenty twenty years.

Speaker 1 (18:54):
I think some of the some of the some of
the worst drivers are young men. Yeah, And it's not
because they're not qualified, it's because they're dangerous and risky.
I remember I got on Carson a couple of weeks
ago because we were driving. He's always driven way too aggressively,
and we kind of got into a little bit of
an argument about it because he turns to aggressively, he

(19:16):
accelerates too aggressively, he breaks to aggressively. When I was
probably sixteen, I was driving with my cousin. I had
just gotten my driver's license. I'm in my mom's car
and we're driving up to the store on a dirt
road and we're in the forest, and so we're driving
on a dirt road. I was going eighty on a
dirt road showing off and I fishtailed it just a

(19:38):
little bit, and I think back now I caught it.
We were fine. But if I had not gotten control
of the car. We would have probably hit a fucking
tree and died at fourteen and sixteen years old because
I was a dumb ass showing off.

Speaker 2 (19:54):
Yeah, and I no, I agree. I mean, I'm not.
Anytime someone's annoying me, it's not you, usually because they're
driving too fast because you can't really peek in their
cars when they're like swerving and weaving and whatever. But
every time someone's dying driving slow and I look over, man,
it's all kinds, all kinds of people, and I'm always like,
of course it could me driving in that car, and
I would drive, look over and I'd see me, and

(20:16):
I'd go.

Speaker 1 (20:17):
Of course I did that. The other day, I was
driving the RV and they don't go very fast. So
I'm in the slow lane and the first car in
this lane is a dump truck and the dump truck
is going probably ten miles an hour slower than it
than traffic. Yeah, behind that is a is an SUV
and they're not passing, And I'm like, why is the
SUV not passing? So I passed. Looked in the suv.

(20:41):
What do you think I saw?

Speaker 2 (20:42):
You saw anyone who could be anyone looks just like.

Speaker 1 (20:45):
You true, not exactly. I saw the corpse. It was
a a bent over person that I couldn't tell whether
they were a man or a woman. And they were
bent over, driving very slowly. They seriously looked like you're
in a like of watching a movie and Aunt Gladys dies.
It looked like Aunt Gladys in the popin. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (21:05):
So yeah, and then you looked over and you went
of course, of course.

Speaker 1 (21:09):
Of course. Let me tell you one more story. This
cracked me up because we were in Hollywood one time
and this it's just kind of like about I don't know,
I'm gonna tell the story. It's a little bit risky,
but I don't care. So we're in Hollywood and we're
walking along Hollywood Boulevard and a person turns the corner
and almost hits this black guy and they didn't look

(21:30):
and they should have watched for pedestrians, and it was
an Asian woman and the black guy says, damn it,
Asians don't know how to drive. And it just cracked
me up because here was something that was like racist,
but it was coming from not a white guy, you
know what I mean. It just kind of cracked me
up a little bit.

Speaker 2 (21:50):
God dang it.

Speaker 1 (21:51):
Asian people can't drive. I know a lot of Asians
that drive just fine, drive better than me. I'm an
okay driver. I'm a little I'm one of those drivers
that I'll drive eight miles down the interstate and not
remember any of what I just did. You know what
I mean?

Speaker 2 (22:07):
Right?

Speaker 1 (22:08):
Where was I What was I thinking? How did I
get here?

Speaker 2 (22:10):
Can I ask you a question about driving this? It
reminded me. So she's not my niece. She's my sister's
ex boyfriend's daughter.

Speaker 1 (22:18):
Sister's ex boyfriend's daughter daughter.

Speaker 2 (22:21):
So my sister was with her ex boyfriend for like
ten years and he had two kids, and so I
like they grew up and I was around, So I
call her my niece even though she's not my niece. Yeah,
she is eighteen, and she is coming here in November,
and we're going to go see some shows. And I
take her to see a show every year for her birthday.

(22:41):
And she's coming here. But she doesn't have anyone to
drive her because her parents are kind of just dumb.
They're kind of deadbeat parent.

Speaker 1 (22:51):
People, including your sister's ex boyfriends. He is a deadbeat.

Speaker 2 (22:55):
Yes, all right, So she's thinking about flying here from Duluth. Oh,
have you ever done that?

Speaker 1 (23:03):
I don't know. There's not a lot of practicality in that.
They used to have air service in Mancato, of all places,
and then Mancato people would fly to the Twin Cities
to connect to somewhere else, right, Duluth seems you know,
that's probably like a thirty minute flight.

Speaker 2 (23:17):
It's She showed me the thing and it said it
was like an hour And I said, can you just
