Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, kids, here we go with the Minnesota goodbye
and we got a lot of emails today and does
some bless you? I've screened through some and others. I havena,
but let's see how we do here. Hello, my favorite
radio squad. I thought I had a thought driving and
listening to you on the iHeartRadio app. During a commercial break,
I hopped over to Spotify for a quick music fix.
(00:22):
It got me wondering, do you all actually get any
saying what songs make it onto the radio? I understand
you can't play just any song, but let's say you
find a song by a popular artist that you like.
As radio DJs, are you allowed to pitch the song
to whoever chooses the playlist? KATIEWB plays cause if you
do have a say, I'm begging you Where is My Husband?
(00:42):
By ray Rye needs airtime. The song is criminally underrated
and I would love to see it blow up and
get the recognition that deserves. On that same vein, there's
no genre I love more than early two thousands, hip
hop and pop. Would you ever get to play more
of these songs? Thanks so much for any input. I
love you, guys, and you're all more than kind of hot.
(01:05):
That's from Kyrie or Syree, and I love that name.
We get very little say in the songs we play.
There have been a couple like if we like one
a lot like who was our friend that did one?
He played at the State Fair? And then he did
a song. No, he was in local Ah. I can't
(01:25):
remember his name, but we played his song a few
times because he played at the State Fair. Joe God something.
I can't remember, so that one, but it's not like
fully endorsed. But I will tell you that Julia Brennan
five or eight or ten years ago sent in a
song that she did. Local Girl sent in a song
that she did, and I really liked it, and she
(01:49):
sent it in but I was the only one who
listened to it. Other people forwarded it to me, but
I listened to it and I said, this is a
great song, and we played it on the radio. Inner
demons remember that one, and she actually got signed by
Columbia Records, and that song did get played on Cities
ninety seven and it never really took off. Yeah, and
(02:09):
I think it got played on maybe a couple of
other stations. But it was a really good song that
had kind of like an adele quality. And it was
a very melodic, beautiful song and the boss fully supported it,
but it just never really took off right.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Also, you would come up with another what was the
other one you came up.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
With, Amy, But Bobby, no, no, you came.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Up with something in your sleep that you sent to Julia. Yes, yes, yes,
a song out of it, and I can't think of
what it was.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Called pure Love, Yes, pure love, pure love. And she
actually recorded it, and she made a beautiful song out
of it, and some people have actually played it at
their wedding. So if you go on Spotify or iHeartRadio,
you can probably find pure Love by Julia Brennan, which
I the melody came to me in my sleep. So
I woke up and I went downstairs because I think
(02:58):
Susan was sleeping upstairs, and I hang it into my
phone and then I went back to bed. Next day
on the radio, I told I was telling the story
to Stephen Fallon rip that that I did this with
Steve because Steve was an asshole. He's like, let me
hear it. I want to hear it.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
I want to hear it.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
So I send it to Steve. Steve put it in
the computer system, and he played it on the radio
and it was like, this is pure.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Love, pure love. He's like half them make it.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
And so Julia wrote a beautiful song to it that
I didn't even mean to write.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
I remember her rendition of it like it was yesterday. Honestly,
now that we bring it up, totally forgotten about it
until now. But I remember everyone making fun of you
for your rendition and then hers being way better.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Well yeah, because she can sing and actually but she
did use my hook and and I thought that was
really really cool. So other than that, no, not really,
but I will. I mean, I'm going to look up
this song right now, just to be weird.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
This person has another song that was on the radio
at some point.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Ray, Yeah, I think so too, but I can't.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
I'm going to look up Where is my Husband? And
let's see w H E R E is my Husband?
By Ray? Okay, so here is the song. You know,
(04:38):
there's no reason that that song shouldn't become a hit song.
The best songs don't always become hit songs. It's the
songs that are by the artist that the label is supporting.
And why labels support some artists and not others and
why some get signed. And I mean is is like
I mean, for what's popular on the radio right now, Carpent,
(05:00):
Sabrina Carpenter. I mean, she really is probably the best
music that's out there. She's got an image, she is
supported by the labels. She's on Saturday Night Arrived.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
Yeah, she's a full brand.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
She's a full brand, and she's known for you know,
she's got a personality, a stage presence, so the label
will gladly support and songwriters want to write for Sabrina Carpenter.
Let's say you're a really gifted songwriter. Would you rather
have Joe Smith from Brooklyn Park record your song or
would you rather have Sabrina Carpenter record your song? Sabrina, Oh,
(05:35):
Sabena Carpenter, because you're gonna make more money off of that.
You're gonna get more, you know, notoriety for writing a
song for a big artist. Here's the interesting thing that
we've talked about before. Sabrina claims to write her songs.
She does not write her songs. She gets a writing
credit in exchange for this amazing songwriter recording her song.
So let's say that I'm Sabrina Carpenter. Yeah, you you
(05:58):
want me to record your song?
Speaker 3 (05:59):
Yes, I do.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
You're gonna give me a songwriting credit? And if you
say no, I'll be like, well then I'm not going
to record your song.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
Sure.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
So Sabrina claims to write her song because it gives
her more street credibility, but she does not write those beautiful, melodic,
lush songs.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
She doesn't write tears run down my thighs.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
It is possible that she had, like, you know, one
little like word. Sure, it's possible.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
It's kind of like.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
When they say, like in a movie, it's like story
by so and so, and it's just that they had
the thought, but they didn't write any of it.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Yeah. Yeah, And there's value to that. But I think that,
you know, the analogy goes, if you're a great songwriter,
you don't just write for you, you write for other people.
Like Ryan Tedder doesn't just write for one republic, he
writes for everybody. Yeah, so if Sabrina was such a
great songwriter, she would be writing for Taylor Swift and
(06:52):
Billie Eilis and she ain't and she's not. And not
to take anything away from her, because I love Sabrina Carpenter,
but the whole songwriting thing is is just really really
interesting to me. Uh, okay, thanks for that email. Next one,
Holly writes in Oh, she was the one who was
on the show this morning from Blaine High School. Oh
(07:13):
nice about coach for kids, She says, thanks for having
me on again this morning. I appreciate you taking the
time to have me on the air. It helps out
getting the word out of the community. And one of
the years these years, I will know the Blaine High
School fight song, which we always put her on the
spot and she never knows it. Also, I had commented
that on Halloween, of the fifty people that came to
(07:33):
the fifty groups or individuals that came to my door,
probably five rang the doorbell, and Holly says, also, I
wanted to say I was surprised by the lack of
doorbell rings on Halloween. I even had one little girl
say she was scared to push it. I said it's okay,
and she laughed and she pushed it. Have a wonderful day.
Thanks again for having me on. And I don't know
why kids don't ring the doorbell, but they don't do
(07:57):
it like they used to.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
I wonder if it's because of ring camera, because, like
you said, you had a kid like who rang the
doorbell and then like creepy stood in front of your
ring doorbell yes or camera? And because when I was
growing up, when all of us were growing up, they
didn't have ring cameras. So now if they're just used
to a ring camera, like alerting the person in the
(08:18):
house that there's someone at the door ring the door,
you don't have to ring the doorbell. They get an
alert anyway.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Right, here's a story about the youth. When Carson was
still living at home in high school, kids would not
come to the door and ring the doorbell. They would
come to the door and text Carson, Hey, I'm here, yes,
And so then Carson would go down and open the
door for them.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
Yes, I do that, now, do you.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
I never go up to someone's door like without saying
texting them first and saying I'm here, because I don't
want to have to ring the doorbell. Really, yeah, I
guess I didn't think about it until now.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
It is kind of weird.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Next one, Samantha writes in and by the way, the
email is always Ryan Show at katiwb dot com. I'm
gonna check the wave for him. Jenny just because I
want to make sure, Okay, we're in good okay recording,
We're still going, just checking, Samantha writes in Hello friends,
Wonder if there's still people in the world who don't
care a whole lot about sports. I like sports. I
(09:10):
played sports all throughout my childhood. I do enjoy sporting events,
but I'm not a super fan for really any team,
So talking about them all the time is it really
my cup of tea? Right now? This was Sunday, at
one in the afternoon. I am sitting at a birthday
party for one of my son's friends, and it's Sunday,
and I assume the Vikings must play today because one
of the dads has a game pulled up on his
(09:31):
phone and all the other dads are gathered around watching,
plus a few moms wearing Vikings attire, etc. Anyways, I
am just not that girl. I just don't care a
whole lot to make it a constant topic of conversation,
and I definitely feel like the odd one out asking
for a friend. Ha ha. Got my staff writer sticker.
I love it so much. I put that bitch on
(09:53):
my yetti, of course, and now that's a conversation starter.
Love you guys. Thank you Sammy. It's funny because really
Jenny and I are probably the biggest sports fans on
the show.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
Bay like not care less.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
You like baseball, like the baseball, but like I would
only say I like baseball if it's on at the
bar that I'm sitting in or if I am invited
to a game. I was really into baseball when I
was like fifteen, and I would actually like watch it
on TV.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
Now. I don't know any of the twins names.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
I have no idea, but like, I like baseball, but
I unless someone invited me to any kind of game.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
If I was invited, I would go.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
I would love it just because I would like to
be in the environment and like around a bunch of people.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
But like, I do not care about sports at all.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Okay, let me ask you a question. If you could
only watch soccer that's the only thing you can watch
on TV for a year, or the only music you
could listen to for a year is Iggy Azalea, which
would you choose?
Speaker 3 (10:54):
I can so if I turn on my TV at soccer, it.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Has to be soccer all the time. You can watch Netflix.
You cannot watch a Bachelor in soccer.
Speaker 4 (11:04):
Nothing but if I want to music, Azalea.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
Oliver songs, but nothing, buddy gee Azalea.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
That's a really great question. It's a really great question.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
I thought about this yesterday because I was, I was.
I'll give you a chance to think about it. I
was on the treadmill and on the home screen on
when I turn on my smart TV. There's all kinds
of soccer games, and I respect soccer, but to me,
soccer is very dull compared to American football, which to
me is exciting and fast paced, and soccer is like
(11:38):
they're kicking the ball up and down the field in
a sport that I don't really understand. That seems random,
Like he'll kick to this guy, and he'll kick to
that guy and then somebody intercepts it. He kicks it.
To me, it's boring because I don't understand it.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
You're laughing, Well, just they don't use intercept in soccer.
I played soccer growing up.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
But just like, well they intercept it, like if you're
kicking the bailey and I jump.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
In and get it all it interception. It's just like
they stole the ball. That's more of what they would
say with soccer.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Okay, Yeah, so Bailey, I need your answer. Iggy Azalea
or soccer.
Speaker 4 (12:10):
I would say soccer because then I would probably be
motivated to clean my house more, or go outside more,
or go you know, out and about more, because I
wouldn't be turning on my TV ever.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Really, Okay, Jenny, I.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Mean I would do soccer because Iggy Azalea has like
a couple of good songs. Sure, but I would hate
having to listen to that constantly. I'd rather listen to nothing.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
Then is this a good phone topic for on the radio?
Speaker 3 (12:38):
It sounds like a Daily Bailey question?
Speaker 1 (12:40):
It does that. You can use it for a Daily
Bailey for today if you want to, you can use
it for a Daily Bailey.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
Great.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
I would probably choose soccer as well because Iggy Azalea
every time I turn on the radio in the car
home or I've got my AirPods in out for a walk,
I don't want to hear I'm so fans I see.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
Two dead or you know, did you what did dodbt? DODBT?
Speaker 1 (13:04):
What about you? What would you as you're listening to
the podcast, what would you rather? You had to choose one?
Which would you choose? And there is Sammy's email. Thank you, Sammy,
delightful to hear from you.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
The guys that I'm going on a date with from
Hinge is really into soccer and and a bunch of
his friends are like super into it, and they go
to see the Loons all the time.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
The Loons, the Minnesota United.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
Yeah, the they're the Loons.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
I really had no idea. Yeah, And apparently how can
they be the United and the Loons?
Speaker 3 (13:38):
I don't understand it.
Speaker 4 (13:39):
I well, you know, I think they're just called them
Minnesota United.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
But their mascot is a loon.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
I see. Yeah, okay, Uh, next one Hello Morning Show.
Listen to this week's Minnesota Goodbye. And I heard the
episode where Jenny mentioned she's going to Morocco. My sister's
ex husband is from Morocco and when they were married,
she went there a few times, and so she wanted
more information Jenny on how to navigate Morocco. My sister
(14:05):
mentioned Jenny could reach out to her, So if Jenny
would be interested in that, I can pass along with
my sister he's email or phone number. But if Jenny's
not interested or already has info, that's okay too. My
nephew has also gone there every year with his dad,
So it's been quite a while that my sister has
been there, but she still has a null lot of
knowledge from her ex and my nephew. Love y'all and
(14:26):
keep doing what you're doing. That's from Daydree and thank you, Dadre.
And she asked for a staff rider sticker. We will
get one on its way. I'm going to forward this
to you, Jenny.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Okay, thank you, I appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Are you still going to Morocco as of right now?
Speaker 2 (14:38):
I'm still planning on going. I did lots and lots
of research. My brain actually like hurts from the amount
of research I did. I'm trying to figure out how
to get from city to city because like basically the
cities I want to go to from the one I
fly in and out of are like not close to
that city. So it's like, do I cancel out one
of those cities and not be on a train for
seven hours multiple times?
Speaker 3 (14:59):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
So yes, I am still going. I have a lot
of notes and plans, but it's like two weeks. It's
in like less than two weeks.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
Wow, wild next one, it says, Hey, Dave, do vont
and Bailey get extra money for working on saturdays. I
say no, my sister thinks they would. Who is right,
thank you, Tina Bailey.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
No, I do not.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
No, it's part of the salary. I mean that is
when I used to have to work weekends. I used
to have to work a Saturday shift way back in
the day. And it's just part of your salary.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
Yeah, yeah, just well it.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Actually used to like not be part of like a requirement.
We used to actually have weekend DJs.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Yeah that's true. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
I pitched myself to work weekends when I was younger,
like earlier in my radio career because I wanted a
weekend show, and so it wasn't that they needed me.
They just like I was like, rich, I want to
be on weekends. And I had to send him an
air check and do all that stuff. And I was
on weekends for a very long time. And I'm still
on on Sundays too, but it's like every other weekend,
me and Zach Dlon rotate our Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Well that used to be how you into radio, which
you'd get hired for a weekend shift. My first radio
show was weekend Saturday and Sunday morning six to noon,
and then I went to a pop top forty station.
I did midnight to six on Saturday morning and Sunday morning.
Maybe it was Monday morning, but that's how you first
(16:19):
broke in. And then you'd maybe get the all night
show or the late night show. But weekends where how
people used to start.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
Oh yeah, yeah, you weren't asking. Like I didn't pitch
it to Rich to be on Fridays to make more money.
It was like I want that experience, Yeah, can I
have it?
Speaker 4 (16:31):
Yeah? And Rich just kind of said at one point
he's like, come to my office quick, and I was
like okay, and he's like, hey, you're going to do
a Saturday show. And I was like, oh, okay, cool,
sounds good. But I do know how to do stuff now,
So that's not See.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
That's impressive to me, Bailey, because you know the fact
that you were, you know, no radio experience shit all,
but you did have entertainment experience, yeah, and an improv experience.
So it made you uniquely qualify, uniquely qualified, probably a
lot more qualified than a lot of radio people that
come with just the knowledge of how to push the buttons, yeah,
(17:05):
and not a lot of style or personality.
Speaker 4 (17:07):
I still don't really know how to push the buttons,
but I know how to push more of them now.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
Yeah, but that's exciting. That's what's impressive is that you
went from zero to sixty within a couple of weeks
and are able to do a DJ weekend radio show. Yeah,
and now you're like, you know, we don't really we're DJ's.
I just put us under the umbrella of DJs, but
we're really like, I don't know, talent, personalities or whatever.
But on the weekend you're much more of a DJ
(17:32):
because you're playing music. Yep.
Speaker 4 (17:34):
Ber Yeah, here's one from Eggy Azalea.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
We brought her up enough on the show. Send me
an email. Let me know whether it's Eggy Azalea or soccer.
There's a little conversation starter. Maybe you have a would
you rather send it in Nick, because we'd love to
hear from you. Ryan's show at KDIWB dot com.
