Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, let's get started with the Minnesota Goodbye. I
just went through the email box and was what do
you call it moving from one folder to another for
the live podcast that we're doing, categorizing, Yeah, moving them around.
So I'm going to start probably this afternoon, getting back
to people that have asked for two admissions to the
(00:22):
Minnesota Goodbye this Saturday at noon. And remember it does
cost twenty five bucks to get in, and I don't
want to embarrass you when you come in, and I'm
not going to turn anybody away if they forget. But
I really the reason we want to do this is
because we've always wanted to do this, but also we
figured what a great opportunity to make more money for
Christmas wish.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
And it's twenty five dollars cash, yes, per se, per
person per Yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
And if you don't want to make the donation, that's okay,
then don't come.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
I mean, well then don't show up.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Then don't show up. But if you forget, I'm not
going to turn anybody away. So if you know, if
like Polly come up with her husband Mark made up
couple and they're like, oh shit, I forgot, I didn't
I like come on in. We don't care, but we will.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Or we send them down to the ATM. Isn't there
an ATM in the line?
Speaker 1 (01:10):
There is an ATM in the lobby. Oh, you're right, Okay,
So I just want to I'm not trying to like,
you know, like bum out, but I want to make
sure that you know that that's the price of admission.
And I know it's a lot for what you're gonna get,
but it's for Christmas wish. So we will. I'll probably
start this afternoon getting back to people to confirm that
(01:30):
you are getting into the Minnesota Goodbye Live podcast. But
also Jenny and I were talking about how we're gonna
have to like, you know, format this and schedule this.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Yeah, we're not just gonna like show up and be like,
so what do you want to talk about? Dave? Right, Yeah,
what do you want to talk about?
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Because people will be like, I paid twenty five bucks
and I drove all the way from Cambridge for this shit.
So we wan. Nita is going to be there. We
will definitely have her do a rant. Secretary Brie will
be there. I don't know that we will have her
on necessarily, but we might just introduce her but we're
thinking like games. Maybe in a game of think fast,
(02:05):
maybe a game of face off.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Should we do like a dirty version of things fast?
Since it's like the Minnesota Goodbye and we're allowed to
get a little filf.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
What's an example of a dirty version of think fast?
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Name your favorite body part that starts with a P.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Let's see what would that be? Palette? Palette, no, no,
no point? What would it be? Jenny? Oh, jesus, I
really thought. I thought you were gonna say penis. I
did not expect that one. We have an inside joke
here at the radio station where Steve came up with
(02:43):
this years ago. I hope you remember Steve on the show.
He was such a character, just really just funny as
shit all the time, maybe a little bit too often.
But we used to do a game and we still
do it sometimes where we record us saying something backward
and try to make it sound like a word when
you play it forward. So, for example, Steve decided that
if he says esip that if you play it forward,
(03:07):
it says pussy yeah, And so as an expression, vaunt
and I and you'll do it too, but mostly viet
me and vont will be esip. Hey, what's going onesip? Okay,
I'll see at lunch esip. And that's just stupid. It's
like an inside joke.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
That was Steve's bit, though he loved to say that
word a lot, the actual word, not the back round.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
What kind of context did he use that in?
Speaker 2 (03:31):
I don't know. It was just Steve. He'd yell random
shit sometimes, or he just like text us something and
in all caps with a bunch of s's. That word
would be in there too, That's.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Right, he would. The funny thing about Steve was it
was never offensive. Yeah, you know what I mean. It
was never like, man, there's a guy at work that
keeps texting me the word pussy. No, it was like,
that's Steve.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
That's just the way he is, except for the when
he went into the real world after radio and realized
that he can't be Steve, and like other coworking situations,
he did get in trouble at some point, and I
just gosh, that's just reminded me because when I was
in Morocco, I wasn't texting people because I didn't want
to pay for the texting, and he sent in a
group chat. I think just a fallon and I a
(04:13):
video of him and Cancun with his mom, who's like,
you know, seventies mom age. Yeah yeah, And it was
just him around a bunch of people who are not white,
like Steve is listening to rap music, and then his
mom was sitting in a sandbar drinking by herself. The
whole scene was ridiculous, and I never responded because I
(04:33):
totally forgot because I wasn't texting people. And now I
need to respond to that bitch.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Okay, Steve shout out. I don't think he's going to
be at the broadcast, but all right, let's move on.
I will say, if you want to come, we are
probably filling up, so it's going to be pretty tight,
I think. So if you want to come, try to
get your email in as soon as possible. Here is
one from Jennifer. She said, what is a weird that
(05:00):
you have that others may laugh at? For me, I
always count the stairs as I go up or down.
I find it interesting there are fifteen stairs to go
to the basement and sixteen to go upstairs. Okay. Also,
I separate my m and MS by color because I
sometimes think they will taste different. I eat all the
ugly colors. First, I would say I don't really have
(05:23):
anything that's really weird like that that I can think of.
I do sometimes things in series of threes, like I'll like,
you know, I gotta tap something three times, or I
don't know, but I will say I eat all my
food from least delicious to most delicious. So if you
have green beans and then you have potatoes and gravy
(05:46):
and then you have steak, I eat them from green beans,
potatoes and gravy than steak. I don't mix, I don't match.
I just like worst better best. Every time I think
my weird.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
One, and I can only think of the I'm sure
I have a million, but because you brought off food,
I eat an even So, if I'm having grapes, I'm
having two at a time so that one can go
on each side of my mouth. Or if I'm skittles,
I'm having four skittles out a time, two on each
side of my mouth, two them. So that's probably something
unique that I do that probably nobody knows that I
do because I'm not announcing it.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Weardo weirdo next one. By the way, Bailey's not here,
so that's why you're not hearing Bailey. She's in Orlando
at this moment. She is in Epcot Morning Show crew.
We just had our second child last month and have
a two year old. With Christmas coming, we're trying to
figure out what we want our family traditions to be
(06:40):
around the holidays. Do we make cookies? Do we have
a day at home versus running all over the state
to see family, attend one of the million options of
things to do like holiday markets or the train, et cetera.
Since you were short on emails yesterday, I figured it out.
I'd ask, what's your favorite and least favorite holiday tradition
growing up? Was there anything you wish your family didn't instead?
(07:01):
And if it's not too much to ask, I'd love
a staff writer sticker? And that is from Tory and
New Brighton. I think it's cool that you're thinking about
Christmas traditions and I think that you will find them
on your own. We do. I don't remember any when
I was a kid. I really don't. I don't think
that we you know, we put up a tree and
we did Christmas and we would go to Christmas Eve services,
(07:24):
which were always kind of like really magical because you
knew the next morning when you woke up, it'd be
Christmas morning.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
It's fun because you were always sing Christmas songs at
it instead of just like.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Yes, exactly, it's true. But I think the only one
that we really have now is we do the big
glad Wrap ball where you put like Starbucks coupons and
dollar bills and you roll the dice and then you
have to you know us, No, that makes it too hard, Okay, yeah, because.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
We've done it with the oven Mitz before.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Well one year and I think Fallon did this and
then she realized, you can't make it a continuous roll
of glad wrap. It's got to be strips that are
like three feet long or five feet long, because if
it's just one roll, then you just roll it, you
just unroll it.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
So okay, good luck. I mean, there's so many different
things you could do. There was one Christmas tradition where
on Christmas Eve, I made dinner every Christmas Eve and
it lasted for exactly one year because I just I.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Just can't say every Christmas Eve and then it only.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
I'm like, I'm going to make a tradition of I
make dinner every Christmas Eve and it lasted for one year,
so good luck.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
The one that I did growing up was we always
looked at Christmas lights after Christmas Eve service, So we
would go out and go out to like Lakeside Park,
which is our big park in our hometown, and we
would look at the lights there and then just kind
of drive around to like the fun neighborhoods that had
lights up.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Oh that's a cool idea, yeah, I mean, and that's
an easy one. Next one, Rebecca Sayers, Jenny, yesterday, you
say there was not a difference between different Costco memberships.
Can I prove you wrong? I just got my Costco
rewards check that you get for having the executive membership,
and I now have eighty seven dollars to suspend at Costco. Also,
(09:13):
you can get you can get in at nine am
before the store opens at ten to the general public,
so you have to deal with the insane craziness of
all these people in the store. Also, renting a car
through Costco has always been the cheapest option for me,
and you get cash back on that. Okay, are you
in agreeance with all this?
Speaker 2 (09:30):
So yes, I just yeah, I used to have my
membership with someone else, and so that person didn't really.
They weren't responsible with our executive membership check and I'm
pretty sure they threw it out because they didn't know.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
So anyways, Oh so you got the check and you
never found that.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
You bring it up. That check should be coming right
now too, and maybe I should ask if I can
get some of that, but it's okay. I probably am
going to just leave it at that. I definitely didn't
know you could get in an hour early. That blows
that's my mind. I would have absolutely been there on
weekends an hour before they opened with that.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
So it's a different level of membership, like I think.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
A regular and executive, and we always paid for executive
because he had set it up and I don't think
he really understood why, but he got sold because that's
who he is. And so I didn't even realize we
had a higher membership till like a year ago. And
then we were at Christmas and my sister was like, yeah,
you guys get a check and he was like, oh, well,
I don't know. So that's why he wasn't really in
(10:28):
charge of a lot of things.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
I get it. Susan is in charge of all the
Costco stuff. I don't know anything about it. I've been
in Costco maybe three times, and I don't dislike it.
But it's not like a magnet to me. It's not like, oh,
that sounds so cool. Brandon writes in Hello, first time
email er, but longtime listener happy to say hello. Having
never worked in radio, I'm always interested in the logistics
(10:50):
of how things work. Have you ever had a time
when you had dead air for more than a few seconds? Yeah, yeah,
it's fairly If we're not paying attention, and we have
the monitor, the speaker turned down, and a certain volume
nob is not turned up, we'll have dead air for
you know, a minute or so, and somebody will rush
(11:12):
in and say, you guys are off the air, he says.
I imagine there's always songs in the queue, but what
if you aren't fully prepared to speak or not quite
sure you're live and on the air. Usually it's just
a matter of like, we'll look and the needles are
not moving, or Vonnt will wave his hand or bang
on the window or whatever, because will notice we're off
the air. We're like, oh, and we jump right back on.
(11:35):
Everything here is on a computer, so everything is cued
up and ready to go. So we're seconds away and
a mouse tap away from playing a song.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
But when I first started, when I was, you know,
basically new in radio, it was a record and if
you didn't have a record ready for the next one,
you had to like dive and get one and throw
it on there and then put your headphones on and
then put the needle on it. And it was awful.
But now it's just a few seconds. You don't hear
it very often. On a related question, have you ever
(12:07):
thought were you not in the radio, You were not
on the radio, but your mic was open and you
didn't realize it. I don't think so. I do remember
when I was new in radio, I was sitting in
the lobby writing up the weather forecast and the sports
scores and whatever, and I heard the DJ that was
on before me say something like blah blah blah kys
(12:29):
in blah blah blah ah shit. And I went back
in the studio and I said, do you realize you
just said oh shit on the radio? And he's like
did I? And I'm like yeah. So he took his
recording and he wound it back, and sure enough, there
it was because he thought his microphone was off. It's
(12:50):
probably fairly common, but I don't remember it happening to
me lately.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
We haven't done it in a long time. But there
was one time many years ago where it was you,
Steve Fallon and we were in the studio prepping for
the next day. So it was after the show, and
the three of you all chimed in with like, oh,
we got to hurry up, and like show prep today,
I got to get here, I gotta do this. I
got those appointments you all three of you had something.
(13:14):
So as a joke for me, I was like, yeah,
and I got to get to my dick appointment at eleven.
And I was joking obviously, and you had, for some
reason had my mic up. Oh no, So all of
a sudden we started getting texted and they're like, what's
going on. We just heard about Jenny's dick appointment. And luckily,
like it was, a song was playing, so it wasn't
so like. It wasn't just like me saying I have
(13:34):
a dick appointment. It was like over a song, but
it was. It was pretty funny, you know, And of
course it was like.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
Dick appointment of all things.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
All things, That's what I said as a joke.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
And yeah, uh, next one, Joe from all the way
in Turlock, California, shout out, Joe, Dave, you're starting to
piss me off. Lol. I'm mostly joking, of course, but
your thoughts about American Idol and singing competitions, stating that
there are no big stars that come out of it,
I have a different point of view. You've said it
a few times. I've let it go, but I can't
anymore my pov. It's a game show, a competition. Some
(14:07):
people are fulfilling lifelong dreams of being able to sing
in front of people, about proving to themselves that they
are the best. And I think that's what these shows do. Yes,
some of them may go on to stardom, but some
of them is just a life goal. If somebody wins
let's say American Gladiator, we don't expect them to become
a fitness model. I also disagree that none of them
are successful. I think a lot of them, because of
(14:29):
these shows, have been able to make music their career,
even if it's on a small scale. Dave, you really
pissed me the fuck off, as Wenita would say, But
I love you, sir, Thank you. Joe I love you too.
I think what I was used to was back when
American Idol was new. They became stars, Carrie Underwood and
Chris Dawtry, Kelly Clarkson, even Fantasia, what She's like, Broadway
(14:55):
in theater and stuff.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
Now, Jennifer Hudson, she was on there too. Yeah, I'm
trying to think. Who else.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Jordan Sparks, Yeah, had one hit song.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Who plays in Queen now?
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Adam Lambert, Yeah, he was American Idol.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Yeah, And I guess that's kind of what I expect.
And I don't see that now on the Voice, and
I don't watch The Voice or American Idol. Yeah, I
just you know what, I like watching America's Funniest Videos. Yeah,
I watched that every Sunday night. It's just so because
you can sit down in the middle of it and
it's not like you missed anything. You just turn it on.
And the guy that Alfonso Roberto, he's just so charming.
(15:33):
He's just perfect for it. And it's corny, and the
jokes are corny in the audience's can laughter. But it's
just I just love that show.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
I feel like that's the original, kind of like TikTok
you know, like you go on to all the funny
videos and now like, yeah, that was like the og.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Let's do another one from Angelique Dave. You've often commented
over the years about Nicole Kidman. What first made you
take interest in her? I'm watching The paper Boy on Netflix.
Maybe this was the start of attraction. Very good movie
so far. I don't know that movie. She first appeared
as a doctor in Days of Thunder with Tom Cruise,
(16:09):
the NASCAR movie in about nineteen ninety, and if she
was in something before that, I don't know. But it
was so funny because she was like twenty two years
old and she played a doctor that Tom Cruise fell
in love with, and you looked at her and you're like,
he chose her because she's hot, not because she's perfect
for the role, because she was clearly too young. But
(16:30):
he ended up marrying her. Right, they had kids together, right,
Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman. Yeah, they were together for
a while. I just love redheads. I just I don't know.
I'm not trying to sound creepy or weird, but to me,
redheads are hot, ha wt hot, And I just always
(16:50):
thought she was hot. She's a little too old, for
me now, yeah, I mean, obviously she's past fifty, she's
little too old for me.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
Now she's younger than you, but.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Not too old for me right. But back in her
prime she was beautiful, just gorgeous.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
I feel like she is pretty gorgeous.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
She is still she is.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Yeah, she's fifty eight. I just looked her up.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
Okay, yeah, thank you for that one. And just randomly
Dave and fam says Megan, My friend Rachel and I
are your biggest fans. We've never missed a podcast and
find ourselves talking about you all frequently. We love you guys,
and we would be so honored to attend the live podcast.
That is from Megan and Rachel. I'm going to move you,
(17:32):
guys into the folder that says live podcast and I
will get back to you probably later today. That is
going to do it for the Minnesota Goodbye. And if
you here's something to think about. If you are coming
to the Minnesota Goodbye and you want me maybe you
want to be on the on the podcast if you
(17:53):
do write something up in advance or have a question ready, yeah,
because we would love to have. Like I said, we
don't want to be sitting there going to and you
had have any questions and everybody looks at each other
like no, and we're like okay, well that's going to
wrap it up. So if you're coming to the Minnesota
Goodbye podcast, think is something that you want to ask
and we'd love to get you on the air. In
the meantime, send emails to Ryan's show at KDWB dot
(18:14):
com and thank you for listening.
All right, let's get started with the Minnesota Goodbye. I
just went through the email box and was what do
you call it moving from one folder to another for
the live podcast that we're doing, categorizing, Yeah, moving them around.
So I'm going to start probably this afternoon, getting back
to people that have asked for two admissions to the
(00:22):
Minnesota Goodbye this Saturday at noon. And remember it does
cost twenty five bucks to get in, and I don't
want to embarrass you when you come in, and I'm
not going to turn anybody away if they forget. But
I really the reason we want to do this is
because we've always wanted to do this, but also we
figured what a great opportunity to make more money for
Christmas wish.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
And it's twenty five dollars cash, yes, per se, per
person per Yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
And if you don't want to make the donation, that's okay,
then don't come.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
I mean, well then don't show up.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Then don't show up. But if you forget, I'm not
going to turn anybody away. So if you know, if
like Polly come up with her husband Mark made up
couple and they're like, oh shit, I forgot, I didn't
I like come on in. We don't care, but we will.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Or we send them down to the ATM. Isn't there
an ATM in the line?
Speaker 1 (01:10):
There is an ATM in the lobby. Oh, you're right, Okay,
So I just want to I'm not trying to like,
you know, like bum out, but I want to make
sure that you know that that's the price of admission.
And I know it's a lot for what you're gonna get,
but it's for Christmas wish. So we will. I'll probably
start this afternoon getting back to people to confirm that
(01:30):
you are getting into the Minnesota Goodbye Live podcast. But
also Jenny and I were talking about how we're gonna
have to like, you know, format this and schedule this.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Yeah, we're not just gonna like show up and be like,
so what do you want to talk about? Dave? Right, Yeah,
what do you want to talk about?
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Because people will be like, I paid twenty five bucks
and I drove all the way from Cambridge for this shit.
So we wan. Nita is going to be there. We
will definitely have her do a rant. Secretary Brie will
be there. I don't know that we will have her
on necessarily, but we might just introduce her but we're
thinking like games. Maybe in a game of think fast,
(02:05):
maybe a game of face off.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Should we do like a dirty version of things fast?
Since it's like the Minnesota Goodbye and we're allowed to
get a little filf.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
What's an example of a dirty version of think fast?
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Name your favorite body part that starts with a P.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Let's see what would that be? Palette? Palette, no, no,
no point? What would it be? Jenny? Oh, jesus, I
really thought. I thought you were gonna say penis. I
did not expect that one. We have an inside joke
here at the radio station where Steve came up with

and I and you'll do it too, but mostly viet
me and vont will be esip. Hey, what's going onesip? Okay,
I'll see at lunch esip. And that's just stupid. It's
like an inside joke.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
That was Steve's bit, though he loved to say that
word a lot, the actual word, not the back round.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
What kind of context did he use that in?
Speaker 2 (03:31):
I don't know. It was just Steve. He'd yell random
shit sometimes, or he just like text us something and
in all caps with a bunch of s's. That word
would be in there too, That's.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Right, he would. The funny thing about Steve was it

need to respond to that bitch.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Okay, Steve shout out. I don't think he's going to

I think. So if you want to come, try to
get your email in as soon as possible. Here is
one from Jennifer. She said, what is a weird that
(05:00):
you have that others may laugh at? For me, I
always count the stairs as I go up or down.
I find it interesting there are fifteen stairs to go
to the basement and sixteen to go upstairs. Okay. Also,
I separate my m and MS by color because I
sometimes think they will taste different. I eat all the
ugly colors. First, I would say I don't really have
(05:23):
anything that's really weird like that that I can think of.
I do sometimes things in series of threes, like I'll like,
you know, I gotta tap something three times, or I
don't know, but I will say I eat all my
food from least delicious to most delicious. So if you
have green beans and then you have potatoes and gravy
(05:46):
and then you have steak, I eat them from green beans,
potatoes and gravy than steak. I don't mix, I don't match.
I just like worst better best. Every time I think
my weird.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
One, and I can only think of the I'm sure
I have a million, but because you brought off food,
I eat an even So, if I'm having grapes, I'm
having two at a time so that one can go
on each side of my mouth. Or if I'm skittles,
I'm having four skittles out a time, two on each
side of my mouth, two them. So that's probably something
unique that I do that probably nobody knows that I
do because I'm not announcing it.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Weardo weirdo next one. By the way, Bailey's not here,
so that's why you're not hearing Bailey. She's in Orlando
at this moment. She is in Epcot Morning Show crew.
We just had our second child last month and have
a two year old. With Christmas coming, we're trying to
figure out what we want our family traditions to be
(06:40):
around the holidays. Do we make cookies? Do we have
a day at home versus running all over the state
to see family, attend one of the million options of
things to do like holiday markets or the train, et cetera.
Since you were short on emails yesterday, I figured it out.
I'd ask, what's your favorite and least favorite holiday tradition
growing up? Was there anything you wish your family didn't instead?
(07:01):
And if it's not too much to ask, I'd love
a staff writer sticker? And that is from Tory and
New Brighton. I think it's cool that you're thinking about
Christmas traditions and I think that you will find them
on your own. We do. I don't remember any when
I was a kid. I really don't. I don't think
that we you know, we put up a tree and
we did Christmas and we would go to Christmas Eve services,
(07:24):
which were always kind of like really magical because you
knew the next morning when you woke up, it'd be
Christmas morning.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
It's fun because you were always sing Christmas songs at
it instead of just like.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Yes, exactly, it's true. But I think the only one
that we really have now is we do the big
glad Wrap ball where you put like Starbucks coupons and
dollar bills and you roll the dice and then you
have to you know us, No, that makes it too hard, Okay, yeah, because.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
We've done it with the oven Mitz before.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Well one year and I think Fallon did this and
then she realized, you can't make it a continuous roll
of glad wrap. It's got to be strips that are
like three feet long or five feet long, because if
it's just one roll, then you just roll it, you
just unroll it.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
So okay, good luck. I mean, there's so many different
things you could do. There was one Christmas tradition where
on Christmas Eve, I made dinner every Christmas Eve and
it lasted for exactly one year because I just I.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Just can't say every Christmas Eve and then it only.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
I'm like, I'm going to make a tradition of I
make dinner every Christmas Eve and it lasted for one year,
so good luck.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
The one that I did growing up was we always
looked at Christmas lights after Christmas Eve service, So we
would go out and go out to like Lakeside Park,
which is our big park in our hometown, and we
would look at the lights there and then just kind
of drive around to like the fun neighborhoods that had
lights up.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Oh that's a cool idea, yeah, I mean, and that's
an easy one. Next one, Rebecca Sayers, Jenny, yesterday, you
say there was not a difference between different Costco memberships.
Can I prove you wrong? I just got my Costco
rewards check that you get for having the executive membership,
and I now have eighty seven dollars to suspend at Costco. Also,
(09:13):
you can get you can get in at nine am
before the store opens at ten to the general public,
so you have to deal with the insane craziness of
all these people in the store. Also, renting a car
through Costco has always been the cheapest option for me,
and you get cash back on that. Okay, are you
in agreeance with all this?
Speaker 2 (09:30):
So yes, I just yeah, I used to have my
membership with someone else, and so that person didn't really.
They weren't responsible with our executive membership check and I'm
pretty sure they threw it out because they didn't know.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
So anyways, Oh so you got the check and you
never found that.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
You bring it up. That check should be coming right
now too, and maybe I should ask if I can
get some of that, but it's okay. I probably am
going to just leave it at that. I definitely didn't
know you could get in an hour early. That blows
that's my mind. I would have absolutely been there on
weekends an hour before they opened with that.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
So it's a different level of membership, like I think.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
A regular and executive, and we always paid for executive
because he had set it up and I don't think
he really understood why, but he got sold because that's
who he is. And so I didn't even realize we
had a higher membership till like a year ago. And
then we were at Christmas and my sister was like, yeah,
you guys get a check and he was like, oh, well,
I don't know. So that's why he wasn't really in
(10:28):
charge of a lot of things.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
I get it. Susan is in charge of all the
Costco stuff. I don't know anything about it. I've been
in Costco maybe three times, and I don't dislike it.
But it's not like a magnet to me. It's not like, oh,
that sounds so cool. Brandon writes in Hello, first time
email er, but longtime listener happy to say hello. Having
never worked in radio, I'm always interested in the logistics
(10:50):
of how things work. Have you ever had a time
when you had dead air for more than a few seconds? Yeah, yeah,
it's fairly If we're not paying attention, and we have
the monitor, the speaker turned down, and a certain volume
nob is not turned up, we'll have dead air for
you know, a minute or so, and somebody will rush
(11:12):
in and say, you guys are off the air, he says.
I imagine there's always songs in the queue, but what
if you aren't fully prepared to speak or not quite
sure you're live and on the air. Usually it's just
a matter of like, we'll look and the needles are
not moving, or Vonnt will wave his hand or bang
on the window or whatever, because will notice we're off
the air. We're like, oh, and we jump right back on.
(11:35):
Everything here is on a computer, so everything is cued
up and ready to go. So we're seconds away and
a mouse tap away from playing a song.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
But when I first started, when I was, you know,
basically new in radio, it was a record and if
you didn't have a record ready for the next one,
you had to like dive and get one and throw
it on there and then put your headphones on and
then put the needle on it. And it was awful.
But now it's just a few seconds. You don't hear
it very often. On a related question, have you ever
(12:07):
thought were you not in the radio, You were not
on the radio, but your mic was open and you
didn't realize it. I don't think so. I do remember
when I was new in radio, I was sitting in
the lobby writing up the weather forecast and the sports
scores and whatever, and I heard the DJ that was
on before me say something like blah blah blah kys
(12:29):
in blah blah blah ah shit. And I went back
in the studio and I said, do you realize you
just said oh shit on the radio? And he's like
did I? And I'm like yeah. So he took his
recording and he wound it back, and sure enough, there
it was because he thought his microphone was off. It's
(12:50):
probably fairly common, but I don't remember it happening to
me lately.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
We haven't done it in a long time. But there
was one time many years ago where it was you,
Steve Fallon and we were in the studio prepping for
the next day. So it was after the show, and
the three of you all chimed in with like, oh,
we got to hurry up, and like show prep today,
I got to get here, I gotta do this. I
got those appointments you all three of you had something.
(13:14):
So as a joke for me, I was like, yeah,
and I got to get to my dick appointment at eleven.
And I was joking obviously, and you had, for some
reason had my mic up. Oh no, So all of
a sudden we started getting texted and they're like, what's
going on. We just heard about Jenny's dick appointment. And luckily,
like it was, a song was playing, so it wasn't
so like. It wasn't just like me saying I have
(13:34):
a dick appointment. It was like over a song, but
it was. It was pretty funny, you know, And of
course it was like.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
Dick appointment of all things.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
All things, That's what I said as a joke.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
And yeah, uh, next one, Joe from all the way
in Turlock, California, shout out, Joe, Dave, you're starting to
piss me off. Lol. I'm mostly joking, of course, but
your thoughts about American Idol and singing competitions, stating that
there are no big stars that come out of it,
I have a different point of view. You've said it
a few times. I've let it go, but I can't
anymore my pov. It's a game show, a competition. Some
(14:07):
people are fulfilling lifelong dreams of being able to sing
in front of people, about proving to themselves that they
are the best. And I think that's what these shows do. Yes,
some of them may go on to stardom, but some
of them is just a life goal. If somebody wins
let's say American Gladiator, we don't expect them to become
a fitness model. I also disagree that none of them
are successful. I think a lot of them, because of
(14:29):
these shows, have been able to make music their career,
even if it's on a small scale. Dave, you really
pissed me the fuck off, as Wenita would say, But
I love you, sir, Thank you. Joe I love you too.
I think what I was used to was back when
American Idol was new. They became stars, Carrie Underwood and
Chris Dawtry, Kelly Clarkson, even Fantasia, what She's like, Broadway
(14:55):
in theater and stuff.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
Now, Jennifer Hudson, she was on there too. Yeah, I'm
trying to think. Who else.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Jordan Sparks, Yeah, had one hit song.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Who plays in Queen now?
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Adam Lambert, Yeah, he was American Idol.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Yeah, And I guess that's kind of what I expect.
And I don't see that now on the Voice, and
I don't watch The Voice or American Idol. Yeah, I
just you know what, I like watching America's Funniest Videos. Yeah,
I watched that every Sunday night. It's just so because
you can sit down in the middle of it and
it's not like you missed anything. You just turn it on.
And the guy that Alfonso Roberto, he's just so charming.
(15:33):
He's just perfect for it. And it's corny, and the
jokes are corny in the audience's can laughter. But it's
just I just love that show.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
I feel like that's the original, kind of like TikTok
you know, like you go on to all the funny
videos and now like, yeah, that was like the og.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Let's do another one from Angelique Dave. You've often commented
over the years about Nicole Kidman. What first made you
take interest in her? I'm watching The paper Boy on Netflix.
Maybe this was the start of attraction. Very good movie
so far. I don't know that movie. She first appeared
as a doctor in Days of Thunder with Tom Cruise,
(16:09):
the NASCAR movie in about nineteen ninety, and if she
was in something before that, I don't know. But it
was so funny because she was like twenty two years
old and she played a doctor that Tom Cruise fell
in love with, and you looked at her and you're like,
he chose her because she's hot, not because she's perfect
for the role, because she was clearly too young. But
(16:30):
he ended up marrying her. Right, they had kids together, right,
Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman. Yeah, they were together for
a while. I just love redheads. I just I don't know.
I'm not trying to sound creepy or weird, but to me,
redheads are hot, ha wt hot, And I just always
(16:50):
thought she was hot. She's a little too old, for
me now, yeah, I mean, obviously she's past fifty, she's
little too old for me.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
Now she's younger than you, but.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Not too old for me right. But back in her
prime she was beautiful, just gorgeous.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
I feel like she is pretty gorgeous.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
She is still she is.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Yeah, she's fifty eight. I just looked her up.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
Okay, yeah, thank you for that one. And just randomly
Dave and fam says Megan, My friend Rachel and I
are your biggest fans. We've never missed a podcast and
find ourselves talking about you all frequently. We love you guys,
and we would be so honored to attend the live podcast.
That is from Megan and Rachel. I'm going to move you,
(17:32):
guys into the folder that says live podcast and I
will get back to you probably later today. That is
going to do it for the Minnesota Goodbye. And if
you here's something to think about. If you are coming
to the Minnesota Goodbye and you want me maybe you
want to be on the on the podcast if you
(17:53):
do write something up in advance or have a question ready, yeah,
because we would love to have. Like I said, we
don't want to be sitting there going to and you
had have any questions and everybody looks at each other
like no, and we're like okay, well that's going to
wrap it up. So if you're coming to the Minnesota
Goodbye podcast, think is something that you want to ask
and we'd love to get you on the air. In
the meantime, send emails to Ryan's show at KDWB dot
