Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here we go with the Minnesota good bye, let's see
what we got in store as far as emails, and
here we go. Good day to my radio friends, says Crystal.
I'm catching up on today's podcast. She wrote this yesterday.
So glad to have you all back together. Don't get
me wrong, any show is better than no show, but
little something is missing when any of you are gone.
There's just a chemistry between the four of you that
(00:21):
cannot be matched. I agree, and I appreciate that. It's
kind of like ought to know if you're playing baseball
and you don't have a first baseman. Yeah, so it's like,
oh man, we're not going to be as good without
a first basement because then you got the probably right
field is going to have to run out and field. Okay,
it's not a good analogy.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
I was picking up at your throne now, okay, good man, Okay.
Onto farting. You were all talking about farting in public.
It brought back a haunting memory about ten years ago.
I was into luth with a guy. We were getting
through the day doing tours things. We took the tour
of the Glen Sheen Mansion. There was a group of
five twenty something German tourists. Every time we entered a
(01:01):
new room, one of them were audibly crop dusting partner,
my partner in crime, Wow and I were giving each
other the side eye and swallowing back giggles every room. Poof, poof,
Who does this? Funny guys Germans? Funny German guys, college kids.
I'll never know, but I always think of farts of
Germans past when I think of the Glen Sheen Mansion.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
One thinker for the day. What's the one tangible item
you would be devastated if you lost? Wow? Okay, I
was gonna say my phone. Heause always patting my pocket
for my phone. Yesterday I thought I lost my phone.
I was in a panic, So I would say phone.
But that's too easy. I would say probably a book
(01:47):
my dad wrote about his life history and growing up,
because that is one prize possession that cannot be replaced.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Bailey, my cat. I would not want to lose my cat.
One time we took him out on a leash, and
because we were like, oh this will be fun, me and
my old boyfriend, and we were walking him around on
this leash, he like got a glimpse of some kind
of thing in the bush freaked out. He turned into liquid,
This cat, I swear, and then squeezed out of the
(02:16):
leash and then just bolted and my heart. I was like,
this is the last time I'm going to see my cat.
And I just chased him around one side. My old
boyfriend chased him around the other side of the building,
and then he ran underneath a car and we both
laid down on the ground and I just poked my
cat until he backed up enough so that my old
(02:36):
boyfriend could grab him. And I just remember remember seeing
his little pause as he grabbed him and dragged him
out from under the car, and my cat just goes
like boo. And the second we got him back into
the building, I was like, never ever again, will I
take you out of this home ever again? Until we
went to the vet.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Losing a pet like that is really scary, Jenny.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
I'll go my snowboard.
Speaker 5 (03:01):
I'd be very sad, Like I always get scared when
you go to the chalet that someone's gonna steal your
gear because you just put it in one of the
little slots that holds it up and you come back
out praying that it's still.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
There, but haven't you gone to the wrong rack and go,
somebody stole my snowboard I have. It's like that, but
nobody would steal it because there's a billion snowboards there
and everybody's got their own.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
Yeah, but people do.
Speaker 5 (03:21):
I mean, my one friend has a lock for his
snowboard because he I think he had his stolen one
time when he went to the shelf.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
Yes, yeah, all right.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Next one is from Secretary Brie. Brie, I mailed you
some posted stamps to mail out stickers, so they should
be on their way. You've been chatting about things to
watch lately, and because The Osbourne's came up, I want
to let you know about a treasure I found on
Amazon Prime, the Basement Tapes. It's a rewatch of The
Osbourne's with Sharon, Ozzy, Jack, and Kelly, not only hilarious
(03:50):
but interesting to hear their perspectives about the show now
all these years later, and now that Jack and Kelly
have kids of their own. They rewatched the entire series
four seasons, so it's kind of like a director's cut commentary,
kind of Yahn. Their topic starter, is there anything you
haven't done that should make you lose your Minnesota card?
For example, I've never been to Minnesota's largest candy store,
(04:11):
and I've never tried spam someone embarrassing as in Minnesotan.
What about you guys anything, I've never.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
Stayed a cabin at a cabin, like a weekend at
You've never stayed a cabin, never stayed at a cabin.
I don't know anyone with a cabin. I didn't have
a cabin growing up, So I've never done like cabin
weekend where you know you do inner tubing or whatever.
I've never done it.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Oh that's too bad.
Speaker 5 (04:32):
Yeah, okay, I would say, just because I'm an outdoorsy person,
the fact that I've never done the Boundary Waters yet,
and I think I would.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
You would love it.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
I would. I really do think I would love it.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Yeah. We did with the Boy Scouts close to ten
years ago in twenty twenty sixteen. Best Boy Scout trip
we ever took was Boundary Waters Show trip.
Speaker 5 (04:53):
Here is the mosquitoes. That's the thing I think I
would struggle with.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
They're bad. You've got to be ready for him. We
had mosquito netting and you would wear it like over
your hat. It was like a hat with a net
and trust me, you needed it. It was bad, but
if you're ready for it, it's definitely tolerable. I can't
think of anything, so I'm not going to sit here and.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Go, Oh a lot of Minnesota stuff I.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Really kind of have.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
Yeah, you've been everywhere. We've gone. To see the cherry
in the spoon.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Fuck, no, I can see it from the freeway. No,
that's your thing. Nope, no I will not. But thank you, Jenny,
Love you bunches. Have a fabulous week. And Jenny, your
Iceland pictures are such a vibe. So happy for you,
realizing there's so much of the world I still need
to see. Love you all. Secretary Brie, Thank you Brie.
Thanks bree Uh, let's do this one. Dave from Caton,
(05:45):
thanks for making my families fourth of July fantastic. My husband, myself,
and my two kids twenty one and twenty five were
at Bingo on the fourth and we had a blast.
You calling Bingo was a good excuse to entice my
family to the festivities in chan Hassen. As they know,
I listened to your show into a local carnival for
over a decade, and I was excited to see how
hardly a thing has changed when a goldfish with a
(06:07):
ping pong ball toss get heckled by a carney. Oh
the joy bingo was so fun. We even won my
son Michael, who is always known as Lucky one one,
to which my daughter Anne immediately looked at me and said, uh,
of course Michael wins. He was too embarrassed to go
up and get the prize, so she collected the envelope
(06:27):
where there was a gift card to Crispin Green, which
was immediately coveted. She exclaimed, I'm keeping this. It's my
favorite place, to which Michael said, no, it's my favorite place,
and she fired back immediately. Then she says, well, then
what is your order, which he replied with a sufficient
order that validated his love and Crispin Green, at which
point Annie looked at it and said, mom, oh, my
(06:50):
heart doesn't get better as a mom with twenty somethings siblings.
That's funny. I remember giving away the Crispin Green and
I can't believe they were fighting over it.
Speaker 5 (06:58):
I would be two with my siblings. I love a
Crispin Greens salad so delicious.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
So Red, thanks for being the bait that got us
all there. With a big tip of the hat to
you during your dad joke breakaways your Koala fiction's joke,
got oh qualifications? Qualifications? I did some kind of sort
of a pun joke like why can't a quala become
a I don't know whatever, And they said it's because
they don't have the qualifications. I got a that was
(07:23):
actually funny comment from the kids. Thanks again for being
a part of our fun fourth That was fun. Thank
you for writing in. I'm gonna write back to her.
So going to bookmark that one. Next one. Dave, Jenny, Bailey,
Sarah and Cole from Hudson. Here. We're going to a
Twins game this weekend. Want to try a new spot
downtown for dinner and drinks? Any new favorite summer spots?
(07:47):
Love your show listen every morning. Thanks for waking up early.
What do you think, Jenny, I got nothing.
Speaker 5 (07:52):
Yeah, new spots, I don't really know necessarily. I mean,
there's like Ava I think is a little bit newer.
Oh no, maybe I'm getting them confused. Shoot, what's the
new wine bar? There's Barcelona Smackshap. Smackshack has a whole
new vibe where it turns into a club now at night.
So just the heads up there of your party, and
(08:12):
after the game it does like turn into like a
clubby scene. I would avoid rabbit Hole unless you guys
are young, like twenty two year olds. That's the young
hot place that everyone goes to. But that's a younger demographic,
so pretty much anywhere in the North Loop area I
would recommend.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Okay, I really have nothing. I'm sorry about that. Next
one random email is from Taylor and she sent in
these cards last week or a couple of weeks ago
from basically a conversation card game. And I'll throw this
one out there because I like it. What is your
favorite place in the city where you live mine. I
live in chan Hassen and mine is absolutely Minawashta Regional Park.
(08:53):
It is vast, it is beautiful. It's got a lake,
it's got a playground, it's got big open fields for
whatever you want to play soccer. It's got back trails
that nobody knows about, bike trails, picnic area, it's it
is the gem of chan Hassen.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
I live in Uptown. My favorite parts Lake of the
Isles in Cedar Lake. I love walking around those two lakes.
Those are the closest to my home. But I just
love Uptown in general. The Jungle Theater is great, Rectangle
Pizza is great.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
You're gonna have to pick one, Bailey, I need you
to narrow it down.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
You got things about Mintaw Washington, but I said one area,
and why this area is Uptown is great.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Rule breakers. What you are? You know what you're badass?
Speaker 3 (09:39):
I am a badass.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Jenny would pick one where you live.
Speaker 5 (09:42):
Okay, I would say the Texatanka strip of places. It's
got Angel Food Bakery, it has Walk in the Park,
which is some of the best Asian food you'll ever
get in your life. It has Brito's Burrito which Dave
discovered recently.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Oh they're so good. There's so much better than Chipotle.
Speaker 5 (10:00):
Yeah, it's just like a great little strip of food.
And there's like a wine place that does awesome sandwiches
in that area, and also a seafood place that I've
gotten seafood from before. And it's it's a fun spot
in Saint Louis Park because we don't have a whole
ton more. One thing Saint Louis Park needs to invest in.
If you're looking to open a coffee shop, it's some
more damn coffee shops because all we have is a
(10:22):
cariboo like or a few cariboos.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Okay, there's no but no local Mom and Poppy.
Speaker 4 (10:27):
There's no local to be fair.
Speaker 5 (10:29):
Angel Food Bakery which is mostly known for their donuts
or like baked goods. They do offer coffee there, but
like I want, like a coffee coffee shop in Saint Louis, Pis.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
I know what you mean. Yeah, not just a duncan
that offers coffee, but just a specialty coffee shop. Totally
get that. Next one from Tracy, Hello, Dave and team.
First time Minnesota goodbye contributor. But I've been a loyal
listener to Dave since ninety three when I was thirteen
years old and they're forty five years old now. I
even met Dave back in the day, probably ninety four,
(10:59):
when Peach p Nat from nine O two one oh
was visiting downtown. There was a show called Beverly Hill's
nine O two one oh, and the place where they
all hung out was the peach Pit, and the guy
who ran the peach Pit was a guy named Nat
I don't remember. Joey something was his real name, and
he came to the show and we must have brought
him out somewhere. I don't know what I'll do when
(11:19):
Dave retires. Thank you for being a part of my
life every day for so long. Thank you. I appreciate
that so much. I'm curious about Carson and his tour
managing career. As a parent, I always worry when I
hear you talk about Carson's adventures on the road, because
you hear about the famous touring lifestyle being filled with drug, sex,
and rock and roll. I know I'm forty five year old,
(11:39):
boring mom now, but I'm not naive to think things
aren't wild on the road. However, I'm wondering if Carson
has shared what is actually like on the road, or
is it the wild scene I'm envisioning in my head
something that's more glamorized in movies. It's been so much
fun listening to Carson and all your kids grow up
on the radio. But I feel more attached to Carson
as I have a twenty two year old son. I
(12:00):
think it's incredible he's living out this amazing dream and
he's fortunate to be able to do this work. I
would love to hear more about his experience. Thanks for sharing.
That's from Tracy. He is in London right now, and
they went out to an Indian restaurant and he took
video and he's hanging out with the guys. And I
do ask him. I'm like, Carson, you know me, I'm
so anti drug I don't like weed. I don't like
(12:22):
any drugs. I'm just not a fan. But and I've
cautioned him. And I know Carson smokes weed. I know
he does. But I get the idea that they work
so hard on the tour that they just don't and
Carson doesn't hang out with the privileged artists. So in
other words, he's with the lighting guy, he's with the
sound girl, he's with the merch girl, he's with the
(12:45):
you know, the electric whatever, and they don't really party.
They got shit to do. It's usually the artist. But
I have cautioned him. I'm like, Carson, just don't. I said,
life is challenging enough without becoming reliant on ox pills
or whatever. He's like, oh, I know, gold God. I
(13:06):
worry more about him just being on the other side
of the world. The other day, he was taking a
car from the concert an hour back to his room
in Belgium Brussels. I think, and I'm like, you're in
the car by yourself, And sure enough, there was facetiming
from the back of the car and I'm like, okay,
(13:26):
you're alone in the car. So he was basically on
the other side of the world, trusting this driver to
take and it was fine. Yeah, Carson has no fear,
and I think that's one of the things about being
that age is he doesn't realize that you should have
some fear here and there.
Speaker 4 (13:40):
But I probably struggle a bit with that.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
Yeah, Jenny and I were talking about that yesterday that
we're like, Wow, I can't believe we did half of
the stuff that we did in our early twenties and
didn't die. Well.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
I think that's the thing, and that's kind of the
thing in one of my chapters in my book is
as we get older, we start to think of all
the things that can go wrong. When you're twenty one,
I was twenty one and I moved to Las Vegas
to do my first morning show. I didn't think about
getting fired or living alone or being away from my parents.
I just thought of all the positives. Yeah, but when
you turn about thirty or thirty two, you're like, well,
(14:12):
I could go. But what if I get fired? What
if I don't make any friends, what if I bomb?
What if I miss my mom and dad? What if
I hate my neighbors? And you talk yourself out of
all these wonderful things in life because you've learned that
things can go wrong, right, so you get to figure
out a balance. All right. That is from Tracy. Thank
you Tracy for your interest in that nags. One is
(14:36):
from Hannah. This is one of my absolute favorite questions
to ask. So here goes. If you had to choose
one fruit or vegetable to replace a body part for
a day, what would it be and why? Now? Here
are some rules. One, the fruit or veggie does not expire. Two,
you can't eat it. So, in other words, you can't
make banana fingers because you can't eat You could if
(14:57):
you want to, Yeah, but you can't eat them. It's
part of your body. No repeats. If you choose one
body part, it's all so for the others. Example, not
just one finger could be a carrot. It has to
be all fingers. My answer is either pumpkins for butt
cheeks or candleopes for boobs. I think it would be fun.
Speaker 4 (15:15):
That's what I.
Speaker 5 (15:16):
Thought it was candilopes for I was gonna say candalopes
for boobs, really really, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
Well, I have tiny little boobs, so I would love
to have cantilopes for boobs, just so I couldn't know
what it's like to have big boobs for a day.
That sounds fun.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
I would have a giant eggplant nose, yeah, because I
would want people to be like, damn, look at his nose.
It's like a giant egg plant. Because then I can
show it, you know what I mean. I walk around
and you know, it's like I walk into a room
and people are like what the fuck. They'll be like,
Dave's gonna that guy's got an egg plant. And I'd
walk into like Cariboo, or I'd walk into Target and
(15:49):
people would stare at me and I'd give him a
dirty look like what are you looking at?
Speaker 3 (15:52):
Yeah, they'd be like, oh my god, what is that.
Speaker 5 (15:54):
I feel like you're gonna have PTSD after that day
with your eggplant nose, because then every day after, if
someone looks at you funny, you're gonna be like, oh
my god, is my nose back?
Speaker 1 (16:04):
I do it, though, I take the chance totally would
Let's see, we got time for another Minnesota goodbye email.
That one's a little bit long. Let me see if
I can do this one. Okay, you can use my name,
Megan says, Hello, my party people. I was listening to
the show regarding poisonous venomous snakes. Here's something that happened
(16:24):
when I was eight years old. I was with my
parents golfing. They always let me come along so I
could drive the cart. It was the best time. One day,
whole seventeen Riverfalls golf course. Two porta potties by the
tea box. I ran to the one on the left,
open the door, and they're all coiled up and looking
at me like the devil's spawn. Was a giant bull
snake on the floor of the porta potty. Gosh, I screamed,
(16:48):
and I ran crying to my parents. They said, you're
just being dramatic, rightfully, So my dad went and checked,
and then he ran and screamed like I did.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Now I think a bull snake can get about eight
feet long. Yeah, I remember that for the other day.
I lost some confidence in my dad at that moment,
But this day I always cracked the door open and
make sure there isn't a snake in there. Thank you
for all the laughs from Megan. Megan, you have now
instilled a fear in nearly everyone listening opening a port
to John door.
Speaker 4 (17:15):
Ough making me have like goosebumps right now.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
I was watching America's Funny at Videos the other night
and they had a theme on snakes, and it was
all fake snakes, and it reminded me of the time
that I tied a fake snake with Bailey Shoe and
I was like, Bailey, there's this And Bailey ran down
the hall and you realized about four steps in that
it was fake, but you kept running and planted up and.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
Screaming yeah, because I'm a good actor.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
You're a good actor, and you know how to play
along with a joke. But it was like people like
dangling a snake in front of somebody, or they'd get
behind somebody, like somebody was on a park bench and
somebody got behind them and shoved a bowl snake, a
fake snake out at their feet. And it's just we
fear snakes in the same way we fear mice.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
Well, snakes. I mean I would feel more like that
if somebody had like a fake mouse that they like
threw at me, because then I would think it's real snakes.
I don't know. They don't scare me as well they
do me mice.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
Ooh absolutely not even around me, know the house you
see like a I don't know if they're called a
garden snake or a And when I was a kid,
I used to pick them up and hold them in
my hand. And now I just don't. I'd never want
to kill them. I don't kill little creatures. I just
let them live their life. Yeah, I just don't want
to kill little creatures. Just just don't. But I do
(18:30):
not want to be around the garden snake or garter snake.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
I think they're cute because we used to have them
in like the like window ditches, and we would we
would be so thrilled when we found a garter snake.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
You mean the window, well, window, well that's it.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
Okay, window, Well, they would just hang out in there.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
We did learn that there are no venomous snakes or
was it poisonous snakes in Minnesota. No poisonous one thing
you eat.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
Yes, poisonous is if you eat it, you get sick.
Venomous is if it bites you, you get sick.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
But there are them the snakes in Minnesota. Yes, like not.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
Only like in southern Minnesota, and there's only like one
particular kind something like that.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Okay, gotcha A shout out, Ranger, I think your name
is Ranger Jessica. Yes, and that is the Minnesota Goodbye.
Send emails to Ryan's show at KDWB dot com
Here we go with the Minnesota good bye, let's see
what we got in store as far as emails, and
here we go. Good day to my radio friends, says Crystal.
I'm catching up on today's podcast. She wrote this yesterday.
So glad to have you all back together. Don't get
me wrong, any show is better than no show, but
little something is missing when any of you are gone.
There's just a chemistry between the four of you that
(00:21):
cannot be matched. I agree, and I appreciate that. It's
kind of like ought to know if you're playing baseball
and you don't have a first baseman. Yeah, so it's like,
oh man, we're not going to be as good without
a first basement because then you got the probably right
field is going to have to run out and field. Okay,
it's not a good analogy.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
I was picking up at your throne now, okay, good man, Okay.
Onto farting. You were all talking about farting in public.
It brought back a haunting memory about ten years ago.
I was into luth with a guy. We were getting
through the day doing tours things. We took the tour
of the Glen Sheen Mansion. There was a group of
five twenty something German tourists. Every time we entered a
(01:01):
new room, one of them were audibly crop dusting partner,
my partner in crime, Wow and I were giving each
other the side eye and swallowing back giggles every room. Poof, poof,
Who does this? Funny guys Germans? Funny German guys, college kids.
I'll never know, but I always think of farts of
Germans past when I think of the Glen Sheen Mansion.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
One thinker for the day. What's the one tangible item
you would be devastated if you lost? Wow? Okay, I
was gonna say my phone. Heause always patting my pocket
for my phone. Yesterday I thought I lost my phone.
I was in a panic, So I would say phone.
But that's too easy. I would say probably a book
(01:47):
my dad wrote about his life history and growing up,
because that is one prize possession that cannot be replaced.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Bailey, my cat. I would not want to lose my cat.
One time we took him out on a leash, and
because we were like, oh this will be fun, me and
my old boyfriend, and we were walking him around on
this leash, he like got a glimpse of some kind
of thing in the bush freaked out. He turned into liquid,
This cat, I swear, and then squeezed out of the
(02:16):
leash and then just bolted and my heart. I was like,
this is the last time I'm going to see my cat.
And I just chased him around one side. My old
boyfriend chased him around the other side of the building,
and then he ran underneath a car and we both
laid down on the ground and I just poked my
cat until he backed up enough so that my old
(02:36):
boyfriend could grab him. And I just remember remember seeing
his little pause as he grabbed him and dragged him
out from under the car, and my cat just goes
like boo. And the second we got him back into
the building, I was like, never ever again, will I
take you out of this home ever again? Until we
went to the vet.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Losing a pet like that is really scary, Jenny.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
I'll go my snowboard.
Speaker 5 (03:01):
I'd be very sad, Like I always get scared when
you go to the chalet that someone's gonna steal your
gear because you just put it in one of the
little slots that holds it up and you come back
out praying that it's still.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
There, but haven't you gone to the wrong rack and go,
somebody stole my snowboard I have. It's like that, but
nobody would steal it because there's a billion snowboards there
and everybody's got their own.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
Yeah, but people do.
Speaker 5 (03:21):
I mean, my one friend has a lock for his
snowboard because he I think he had his stolen one
time when he went to the shelf.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
Yes, yeah, all right.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Next one is from Secretary Brie. Brie, I mailed you
some posted stamps to mail out stickers, so they should
be on their way. You've been chatting about things to
watch lately, and because The Osbourne's came up, I want
to let you know about a treasure I found on
Amazon Prime, the Basement Tapes. It's a rewatch of The
Osbourne's with Sharon, Ozzy, Jack, and Kelly, not only hilarious
(03:50):
but interesting to hear their perspectives about the show now
all these years later, and now that Jack and Kelly
have kids of their own. They rewatched the entire series
four seasons, so it's kind of like a director's cut commentary,
kind of Yahn. Their topic starter, is there anything you
haven't done that should make you lose your Minnesota card?
For example, I've never been to Minnesota's largest candy store,
(04:11):
and I've never tried spam someone embarrassing as in Minnesotan.
What about you guys anything, I've never.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
Stayed a cabin at a cabin, like a weekend at
You've never stayed a cabin, never stayed at a cabin.
I don't know anyone with a cabin. I didn't have
a cabin growing up, So I've never done like cabin
weekend where you know you do inner tubing or whatever.
I've never done it.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Oh that's too bad.
Speaker 5 (04:32):
Yeah, okay, I would say, just because I'm an outdoorsy person,
the fact that I've never done the Boundary Waters yet,
and I think I would.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
You would love it.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
I would. I really do think I would love it.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Yeah. We did with the Boy Scouts close to ten
years ago in twenty twenty sixteen. Best Boy Scout trip
we ever took was Boundary Waters Show trip.
Speaker 5 (04:53):
Here is the mosquitoes. That's the thing I think I
would struggle with.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
They're bad. You've got to be ready for him. We
had mosquito netting and you would wear it like over
your hat. It was like a hat with a net
and trust me, you needed it. It was bad, but
if you're ready for it, it's definitely tolerable. I can't
think of anything, so I'm not going to sit here and.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Go, Oh a lot of Minnesota stuff I.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Really kind of have.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
Yeah, you've been everywhere. We've gone. To see the cherry
in the spoon.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Fuck, no, I can see it from the freeway. No,
that's your thing. Nope, no I will not. But thank you, Jenny,
Love you bunches. Have a fabulous week. And Jenny, your
Iceland pictures are such a vibe. So happy for you,
realizing there's so much of the world I still need
to see. Love you all. Secretary Brie, Thank you Brie.
Thanks bree Uh, let's do this one. Dave from Caton,
(05:45):
thanks for making my families fourth of July fantastic. My husband, myself,
and my two kids twenty one and twenty five were
at Bingo on the fourth and we had a blast.
You calling Bingo was a good excuse to entice my
family to the festivities in chan Hassen. As they know,
I listened to your show into a local carnival for
over a decade, and I was excited to see how
hardly a thing has changed when a goldfish with a
(06:07):
ping pong ball toss get heckled by a carney. Oh
the joy bingo was so fun. We even won my
son Michael, who is always known as Lucky one one,
to which my daughter Anne immediately looked at me and said, uh,
of course Michael wins. He was too embarrassed to go
up and get the prize, so she collected the envelope
(06:27):
where there was a gift card to Crispin Green, which
was immediately coveted. She exclaimed, I'm keeping this. It's my
favorite place, to which Michael said, no, it's my favorite place,
and she fired back immediately. Then she says, well, then
what is your order, which he replied with a sufficient
order that validated his love and Crispin Green, at which
point Annie looked at it and said, mom, oh, my
(06:50):
heart doesn't get better as a mom with twenty somethings siblings.
That's funny. I remember giving away the Crispin Green and
I can't believe they were fighting over it.
Speaker 5 (06:58):
I would be two with my siblings. I love a
Crispin Greens salad so delicious.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
So Red, thanks for being the bait that got us
all there. With a big tip of the hat to
you during your dad joke breakaways your Koala fiction's joke,
got oh qualifications? Qualifications? I did some kind of sort
of a pun joke like why can't a quala become
a I don't know whatever, And they said it's because
they don't have the qualifications. I got a that was
(07:23):
actually funny comment from the kids. Thanks again for being
a part of our fun fourth That was fun. Thank
you for writing in. I'm gonna write back to her.
So going to bookmark that one. Next one. Dave, Jenny, Bailey,
Sarah and Cole from Hudson. Here. We're going to a
Twins game this weekend. Want to try a new spot
downtown for dinner and drinks? Any new favorite summer spots?
(07:47):
Love your show listen every morning. Thanks for waking up early.
What do you think, Jenny, I got nothing.
Speaker 5 (07:52):
Yeah, new spots, I don't really know necessarily. I mean,
there's like Ava I think is a little bit newer.
Oh no, maybe I'm getting them confused. Shoot, what's the
new wine bar? There's Barcelona Smackshap. Smackshack has a whole
new vibe where it turns into a club now at night.
So just the heads up there of your party, and
(08:12):
after the game it does like turn into like a
clubby scene. I would avoid rabbit Hole unless you guys
are young, like twenty two year olds. That's the young
hot place that everyone goes to. But that's a younger demographic,
so pretty much anywhere in the North Loop area I
would recommend.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Okay, I really have nothing. I'm sorry about that. Next
one random email is from Taylor and she sent in
these cards last week or a couple of weeks ago
from basically a conversation card game. And I'll throw this
one out there because I like it. What is your
favorite place in the city where you live mine. I
live in chan Hassen and mine is absolutely Minawashta Regional Park.
(08:53):
It is vast, it is beautiful. It's got a lake,
it's got a playground, it's got big open fields for
whatever you want to play soccer. It's got back trails
that nobody knows about, bike trails, picnic area, it's it
is the gem of chan Hassen.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
I live in Uptown. My favorite parts Lake of the
Isles in Cedar Lake. I love walking around those two lakes.
Those are the closest to my home. But I just
love Uptown in general. The Jungle Theater is great, Rectangle
Pizza is great.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
You're gonna have to pick one, Bailey, I need you
to narrow it down.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
You got things about Mintaw Washington, but I said one area,
and why this area is Uptown is great.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Rule breakers. What you are? You know what you're badass?
Speaker 3 (09:39):
I am a badass.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Jenny would pick one where you live.
Speaker 5 (09:42):
Okay, I would say the Texatanka strip of places. It's
got Angel Food Bakery, it has Walk in the Park,
which is some of the best Asian food you'll ever
get in your life. It has Brito's Burrito which Dave
discovered recently.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Oh they're so good. There's so much better than Chipotle.
Speaker 5 (10:00):
Yeah, it's just like a great little strip of food.
And there's like a wine place that does awesome sandwiches
in that area, and also a seafood place that I've
gotten seafood from before. And it's it's a fun spot
in Saint Louis Park because we don't have a whole
ton more. One thing Saint Louis Park needs to invest in.
If you're looking to open a coffee shop, it's some
more damn coffee shops because all we have is a
(10:22):
cariboo like or a few cariboos.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Okay, there's no but no local Mom and Poppy.
Speaker 4 (10:27):
There's no local to be fair.
Speaker 5 (10:29):
Angel Food Bakery which is mostly known for their donuts
or like baked goods. They do offer coffee there, but
like I want, like a coffee coffee shop in Saint Louis, Pis.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
I know what you mean. Yeah, not just a duncan
that offers coffee, but just a specialty coffee shop. Totally
get that. Next one from Tracy, Hello, Dave and team.
First time Minnesota goodbye contributor. But I've been a loyal
listener to Dave since ninety three when I was thirteen
years old and they're forty five years old now. I
even met Dave back in the day, probably ninety four,
(10:59):
when Peach p Nat from nine O two one oh
was visiting downtown. There was a show called Beverly Hill's
nine O two one oh, and the place where they
all hung out was the peach Pit, and the guy
who ran the peach Pit was a guy named Nat
I don't remember. Joey something was his real name, and
he came to the show and we must have brought
him out somewhere. I don't know what I'll do when
(11:19):
Dave retires. Thank you for being a part of my
life every day for so long. Thank you. I appreciate
that so much. I'm curious about Carson and his tour
managing career. As a parent, I always worry when I
hear you talk about Carson's adventures on the road, because
you hear about the famous touring lifestyle being filled with drug, sex,
and rock and roll. I know I'm forty five year old,
(11:39):
boring mom now, but I'm not naive to think things
aren't wild on the road. However, I'm wondering if Carson
has shared what is actually like on the road, or
is it the wild scene I'm envisioning in my head
something that's more glamorized in movies. It's been so much
fun listening to Carson and all your kids grow up
on the radio. But I feel more attached to Carson
as I have a twenty two year old son. I
(12:00):
think it's incredible he's living out this amazing dream and
he's fortunate to be able to do this work. I
would love to hear more about his experience. Thanks for sharing.
That's from Tracy. He is in London right now, and
they went out to an Indian restaurant and he took
video and he's hanging out with the guys. And I
do ask him. I'm like, Carson, you know me, I'm
so anti drug I don't like weed. I don't like
(12:22):
any drugs. I'm just not a fan. But and I've
cautioned him. And I know Carson smokes weed. I know
he does. But I get the idea that they work
so hard on the tour that they just don't and
Carson doesn't hang out with the privileged artists. So in
other words, he's with the lighting guy, he's with the
sound girl, he's with the merch girl, he's with the
(12:45):
you know, the electric whatever, and they don't really party.
They got shit to do. It's usually the artist. But
I have cautioned him. I'm like, Carson, just don't. I said,
life is challenging enough without becoming reliant on ox pills
or whatever. He's like, oh, I know, gold God. I
(13:06):
worry more about him just being on the other side
of the world. The other day, he was taking a
car from the concert an hour back to his room
in Belgium Brussels. I think, and I'm like, you're in
the car by yourself, And sure enough, there was facetiming
from the back of the car and I'm like, okay,
(13:26):
you're alone in the car. So he was basically on
the other side of the world, trusting this driver to
take and it was fine. Yeah, Carson has no fear,
and I think that's one of the things about being
that age is he doesn't realize that you should have
some fear here and there.
Speaker 4 (13:40):
But I probably struggle a bit with that.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
Yeah, Jenny and I were talking about that yesterday that
we're like, Wow, I can't believe we did half of
the stuff that we did in our early twenties and
didn't die. Well.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
I think that's the thing, and that's kind of the
thing in one of my chapters in my book is
as we get older, we start to think of all
the things that can go wrong. When you're twenty one,
I was twenty one and I moved to Las Vegas
to do my first morning show. I didn't think about
getting fired or living alone or being away from my parents.
I just thought of all the positives. Yeah, but when
you turn about thirty or thirty two, you're like, well,
(14:12):
I could go. But what if I get fired? What
if I don't make any friends, what if I bomb?
What if I miss my mom and dad? What if
I hate my neighbors? And you talk yourself out of
all these wonderful things in life because you've learned that
things can go wrong, right, so you get to figure
out a balance. All right. That is from Tracy. Thank
you Tracy for your interest in that nags. One is
(14:36):
from Hannah. This is one of my absolute favorite questions
to ask. So here goes. If you had to choose
one fruit or vegetable to replace a body part for
a day, what would it be and why? Now? Here
are some rules. One, the fruit or veggie does not expire. Two,
you can't eat it. So, in other words, you can't
make banana fingers because you can't eat You could if
(14:57):
you want to, Yeah, but you can't eat them. It's
part of your body. No repeats. If you choose one
body part, it's all so for the others. Example, not
just one finger could be a carrot. It has to
be all fingers. My answer is either pumpkins for butt
cheeks or candleopes for boobs. I think it would be fun.
Speaker 4 (15:15):
That's what I.
Speaker 5 (15:16):
Thought it was candilopes for I was gonna say candalopes
for boobs, really really, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
Well, I have tiny little boobs, so I would love
to have cantilopes for boobs, just so I couldn't know
what it's like to have big boobs for a day.
That sounds fun.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
I would have a giant eggplant nose, yeah, because I
would want people to be like, damn, look at his nose.
It's like a giant egg plant. Because then I can
show it, you know what I mean. I walk around
and you know, it's like I walk into a room
and people are like what the fuck. They'll be like,
Dave's gonna that guy's got an egg plant. And I'd
walk into like Cariboo, or I'd walk into Target and
(15:49):
people would stare at me and I'd give him a
dirty look like what are you looking at?
Speaker 3 (15:52):
Yeah, they'd be like, oh my god, what is that.
Speaker 5 (15:54):
I feel like you're gonna have PTSD after that day
with your eggplant nose, because then every day after, if
someone looks at you funny, you're gonna be like, oh
my god, is my nose back?
Speaker 1 (16:04):
I do it, though, I take the chance totally would
Let's see, we got time for another Minnesota goodbye email.
That one's a little bit long. Let me see if
I can do this one. Okay, you can use my name,
Megan says, Hello, my party people. I was listening to
the show regarding poisonous venomous snakes. Here's something that happened
(16:24):
when I was eight years old. I was with my
parents golfing. They always let me come along so I
could drive the cart. It was the best time. One day,
whole seventeen Riverfalls golf course. Two porta potties by the
tea box. I ran to the one on the left,
open the door, and they're all coiled up and looking
at me like the devil's spawn. Was a giant bull
snake on the floor of the porta potty. Gosh, I screamed,
(16:48):
and I ran crying to my parents. They said, you're
just being dramatic, rightfully, So my dad went and checked,
and then he ran and screamed like I did.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Now I think a bull snake can get about eight
feet long. Yeah, I remember that for the other day.
I lost some confidence in my dad at that moment,
But this day I always cracked the door open and
make sure there isn't a snake in there. Thank you
for all the laughs from Megan. Megan, you have now
instilled a fear in nearly everyone listening opening a port
to John door.
Speaker 4 (17:15):
Ough making me have like goosebumps right now.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
I was watching America's Funny at Videos the other night
and they had a theme on snakes, and it was
all fake snakes, and it reminded me of the time
that I tied a fake snake with Bailey Shoe and
I was like, Bailey, there's this And Bailey ran down
the hall and you realized about four steps in that
it was fake, but you kept running and planted up and.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
Screaming yeah, because I'm a good actor.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
You're a good actor, and you know how to play
along with a joke. But it was like people like
dangling a snake in front of somebody, or they'd get
behind somebody, like somebody was on a park bench and
somebody got behind them and shoved a bowl snake, a
fake snake out at their feet. And it's just we
fear snakes in the same way we fear mice.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
Well, snakes. I mean I would feel more like that
if somebody had like a fake mouse that they like
threw at me, because then I would think it's real snakes.
I don't know. They don't scare me as well they
do me mice.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
Ooh absolutely not even around me, know the house you
see like a I don't know if they're called a
garden snake or a And when I was a kid,
I used to pick them up and hold them in
my hand. And now I just don't. I'd never want
to kill them. I don't kill little creatures. I just
let them live their life. Yeah, I just don't want
to kill little creatures. Just just don't. But I do
(18:30):
not want to be around the garden snake or garter snake.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
I think they're cute because we used to have them
in like the like window ditches, and we would we
would be so thrilled when we found a garter snake.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
You mean the window, well, window, well that's it.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
Okay, window, Well, they would just hang out in there.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
We did learn that there are no venomous snakes or
was it poisonous snakes in Minnesota. No poisonous one thing
you eat.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
Yes, poisonous is if you eat it, you get sick.
Venomous is if it bites you, you get sick.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
But there are them the snakes in Minnesota. Yes, like not.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
Only like in southern Minnesota, and there's only like one
particular kind something like that.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Okay, gotcha A shout out, Ranger, I think your name
is Ranger Jessica. Yes, and that is the Minnesota Goodbye.
