Speaker 1 (00:00):
I'm opening up the email for the Minnesota Goodbye, and
I'm very happy to see so many people want to
go to the Minnesota or Minnesota Goodbye live podcast. On
December sixth, as a matter of fact, i got probably
forty or fifty emails from people who say they want
to go. So I'm dropping them all into a folder,
and I'm reading some of the comments that people are
leaving that they want to come to the podcast too,
(00:22):
and I love this. For example, Nicole writes in I'd
love to come to the live broadcast of the podcast.
I've been listening to Dave since I was in elementary school.
I am now thirty nine. I listen to every podcast
of the show and every Minnesota Goodbye. I've got a
sticker since I wrote in about my dad working at
Coca Cola for now over fifty years, if you remember that. Anyway,
(00:42):
I'd love to meet y'all since you're a huge part
of my commute and to and from work, and I
honestly anytime I just want to zone out and laugh.
I love you guys. Even if I don't get an invite,
I will still love you and listen to Dave. Please
never retire. Thank you from Nikki, So I'm going to
drop you into the the podcast folder how.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Many tickets she wants, because.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
That's kind of something.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Okay, I just want to make sure that people are
putting that in there, because honestly, if you email in
and you only like emailing like I want to come,
I'm going to assume that you only it's only going
to be you because if I need you to ask
for you because we I know that normally we would
assume that we would give two. But like, if you're
not specifically asking for two, then anyways, I will reach out,
(01:32):
by the way to the people that have made it in.
So just give me some time, because this is happening
in two saturdays, correct, it would be two Saturday days away,
So give me to like the beginning of week week,
give me to the beginning of next week to get
those emails out, just because I've got a lot to
do with Christmas wish right now, and then it's the holidays,
so you know, I do like to have a little
(01:53):
bit of a life outside of work, you know what
I mean?
Speaker 1 (01:55):
Sometimes, Yeah, yeah, totally, okay, Yeah, We're going to assume
that if you don't ask for two, you just want
one fair enough? Yeah, okay, gotcha, there are some. As
a matter of fact, I'll be honest with you, pretty
much every email that I'm getting right now is about
the Minnesota Goodbye, so don't forget. We still need content
(02:19):
for the Minnesota Goodbye in addition to you know, we
knew this is going to be a little bit tricky
when we set this up. But you know what, we
love a good challenge. We love that people are enthused
about this one, so thank you. Here's another one. Aaron
writes in I'd love to join you for the live podcast.
I listened to the show for years every morning getting
ready for work, and on my drive to work that
I listened to the Minnesota Goodbye out of the way.
(02:40):
You're all so unique and fun, and I would appreciate
seeing you live. I honestly would feel like something important
was missing in my life. I couldn't spend time with
you each day. Two tickets, please, but if only one
is available, I'll take it. You're all kind of hot.
That is from Aaron's email address, but Diane wrote the
email Okay, let me stop there and bring up a topic. Yeah,
(03:03):
what about people who share an Instagram account or an email.
My sister, Vivian lover. Her and her husband both share
an Instagram account. He's gone now, but she's not Instagram,
She's on Facebook. And they shared an email. Now. I
always thought was a little bit weird and maybe a
(03:23):
little bit like, I don't know, not controlling, but a
little bit invasive. It's like I would never say to Susan,
you know what, we're gonna put together an ao an
email account that's Davensusan at hotmail dot com. We would
just never do that. I would never have a Dave
and Susan Facebook. I just like you get yours and
I get mine.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
What do you think, Jenny, I think that it's unnecessary
to have a shared account of any sort besides maybe
a bank account. And even that I am like of
the generation where like I'm still going to have a
separate account from my partner if I ever do get married,
and we'll have a joint one that like takes care
of bells or something. So no, I don't. I'm I mean,
(04:04):
if you do it, cool, good for you, but it's
not something I would ever do.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Okay, yeah, maybe maybe if you share an account. I mean,
Susan and I share a joint account, but I've also
got my own. I just never really it's like not
that I'm like buying secret things out of it or
anything like that. We share a credit card, We just
really we just kind of share everything, and there's no
reason that we should not, you know, just like I
(04:31):
don't know, no no desire not to. Let's see, I'm
gonna be honest with you. There may not be enough
emails to get us through an entire Minnesota goodbye. And
I think it's because most people are writing in about
the podcast. So I'm down with that. So that's gonna
unless you got something else you want to wrap up with.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Jenny, let me look real quick. So this is like
too lame to probably talk about on the real radio.
But I went to Costco yesterday, Dave to like get
stocked up because, like when I tell you, I came
home to absolutely no food after my trip, I mean nothing,
like there was nothing in my fridge. But man, was
it a bad choice to go to Costco the week
(05:09):
of Thanksgiving. It was a fucking nightmare. Trying to get
a goddamn parking spot. That was the first problem. And
then inside it's a bunch of newbies who don't know
how Costco runs, so they're in the way of everyone.
I ran into someone who was supposed to be working
at their job, but they were on the clock and
getting pies for Thanksgiving, and I was like, you know
what you got to do? You sometimes so you don't
(05:31):
have to go shopping, but man, get out there and
get your groceries like now, because good luck to you
if you wait until tomorrow to get your Thanksgiving groceries
for that Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
That totally makes sense. I mean, I remember we came
to Colorado, and so you know, when we're in Colorado,
we don't buy a turkey and then put it in
the freezer in September and then come back and use
it in November. We go down to the It's King
Soupers in Colorado, so we go down the grocery store
and I think they were sold out of turkeys, and
that doesn't happen very often. Usually they have an abundance.
But I think they were sold out. So we had
(06:04):
to buy like two turkey breasts, which worked out just fine.
But yeah, it's kind of like it's just you just
don't want to be out there and doing that and
just fighting the crowds. I'm going to tell you, I'm
a newbie at Costco. I've been in Costco probably exactly
three times in my entire life. I have no desire
to go experience what all the excitement is. I get it.
(06:25):
I mean I know they have everything. I get it,
they have everything in there. Yeah, I just don't get
into the whole massive shopping experience like that. It's just
not my thing.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
It's not for everyone. And I will say that like
Costco doesn't necessarily have everything, they just have everything in bulk.
So that's the part that's like enjoyable to me, because
like there's certain things that are pretty expensive to buy
in a smaller package. Like there's this high fiber or
not high fiber, high protein cereal I buy that's kind
of like a ripoff of cinnamon toast crunch but healthier,
(06:57):
And if I want to buy that at Target, it
would So they cost like eight bucks for a small package,
where I can get a huge package for like eleven
bucks at Costco. And so it's like that's what gets
me in because there's just certain things that are pretty
expensive that I want for my diet that I can
buy then in bigger packages that cost me less than
(07:17):
by buying them in bigger packages or bulk situations. But
outside of that, like I don't know, Costco is just
like it's clean, it's fun, you can find you discovered
new shame sometimes. I mean yesterday when I was there,
there was samples everywhere. And I'm not a sample person,
but I do know that a lot of people live
for going to Costco simply to have You could literally
(07:38):
have an entire meal at Costco because of the on
the days that they have samples, because there's so many.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
I love that that. I will say that I'm trying
to think of what Susan has bought in bulk at Costco,
and the first thing that came to mind was three
giant bottles of a one steak sauce. It came in
a three pack and they were the size of a
bottle of gym Beam. I mean, they're like giant fucking
bottles of a one steak sauces. And so she the
(08:07):
other day we're like having steak or whatever, and I'm like, oh,
we're at this bottles empty, do you have any more?
She's like, oh, do I have more? And I look
in the cupboard and there it is three jim Bean,
but jim Bean bottle sizes of a one steak sauce
from Costco.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
That's the one thing that I say a little bit
away from is buying the bulk sauces because I am
a one person household. I can't even get through a
thing of barbecue sauce in like probably eight months, honestly,
So I don't do that. I stay away from the
condiments those I will get from regular stories. But it's like,
I don't know, it's just the deals on getting like
(08:43):
a ton of meat and like ground turkey and stuff.
I stock up on that I'm pretty sure my Costco
membership ends and the next like week or two. And
I shared that with the last person I was dating,
And so when I went yesterday, I spent more than
I ever have because I really stock up on like
a lot of meat and just like random things that
(09:03):
I love. Because I might not have a Costco, well,
I won't have a Costco membership unless I go out
and get my new one on my own.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
So I gotcha, maeah, maybe Santa will get you.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Give me a Cosco membership.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
How much is a Costco membership? But not that bad?
Speaker 2 (09:19):
That's why I probably like would consider getting one, just because,
like I live so close to one, and the Costco
gas station is right next to the radio station, so
that's really convenient for me too. But I think for
a regular one it's like sixty five bucks. We had
always done the premium one, so I think it was
like a little over one hundred. I don't know why
we did premium. There's no difference. Besides, I think you
get like some rewards from it or something which we
(09:41):
never used. But no, it's not badah.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Yeah, so okay, maybe Santa will bring you one. Okay,
I'm gonna go back to wrap up. Sorry, it's a
weird Minnesota Goodbye. We didn't We didn't have a single
email to read except from the wonderful people that want
to come to the podcast, so don't forget we need those.
We'll do one more Minnesota Goodbye Wednesday, and then we
are done until Monday, and we start Christmas Wish on Monday.
(10:09):
But I will say, if you want to write in
for your tickets for the Minnesota Goodbye Live podcast, we're
excited to do it. But that's a good point, Jenny.
If you don't want to, then you know we'll just assume.
If you don't specify that you want to, we'll assume
you just want one. Yes, and we'd love to have
you bring your friend or your husband, but if you
because we want to fill it up. We don't want
(10:29):
any empty seats. So let us know whether you want
two or one. And if you don't, say, we'll get
you one. But I'm sure you'd probably like to bring
a friend. I mean, everybody likes to bring a friend along.
But we're your friend, and we'll be there. By the way,
and we've forgotten to mention this one. There is an
admission fee, and I think that everybody's fine with that.
(10:50):
It's twenty five bucks. It's twenty five bucks to get in.
You gotta pay it, and it's cash, and we don't
have change, and I know that sounds lame. And we
don't take Venmo and we don't take zel. We can't
take it. I don't think we can, maybe not even
a check. So there is a little bit of a
like an inconvenience kind of an asterisk on there, twenty
five dollars cash and.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Just so you know that, and that is that's going
You're probably going to say this, but that goes to
Christmas wish. It's not because we're trying to make money
off of this. We're just trying to get money for
Christmas wish.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Absolutely, so I hate to keep laying down rules for you,
but these are things that we're learning because we've never
done this before. All right, that's it, We are done.
Thank you for listening to the Minnesota Goodbye. The address

The Brothers Ortiz
The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
