It's the Minnesota Goodbye, the Jennyand Drake edition. Hello. All right,
Dave's off for the next two days, so you're stuck with Drake and
I for the Minnesota Goodbye today andtomorrow. We will jump right into emails.
This one says, Hey, guys, I'm cooking dinner listening to the
Minnesota Goodbye, and I heard thestory about the person that took a run
(00:21):
and took a shit by someone's backyard. I also listened to a podcast called
I've Had It. I don't rememberthe episode, but it was within the
last month or two, and alady had emailed them telling them about a
person taking a shit in their backyardwhile on a run. They saw it
happen and saw them wipe. Personthat emailed you said they had tissue in
their pocket. The person on theother podcast thought it was a premeditated shit
(00:45):
because they had something to wipe with. Not sure if they are the same
people, but how fucking crazy wouldthat be if they are. That's all.
I have a great day, Shay. We've had a lot of like
emergency Pooh stories lately, which Daveput a cap off, I think because
he brought it up. There wasone story that got brought up about it.
I don't know the beginning of lastweek, and he goes, if
(01:07):
you have a story, email us. Well, then of course all these
stories start coming in. He goes, all right, that's it. I'm
capping it off. You need toemail it in the next week, and
then we're not doing them anymore,because I knew what he got himself into
when he said, email us youremergency Pooh stories. So anyway, Shay,
that would be quite the funny coincidenceif it was the same person.
All right, moving on, thissays, hello, my favorite morning show.
(01:30):
This is Charise. I'm writing tosee if other listeners just knew when
they met there happily ever After.I think I've found my Oh you know,
I think we've read this one,Scharis before, but maybe I'm not
rereading one. This came in yesterday. Did she send it in twice?
Maybe, Charis, we've definitely talkedabout this before on other Minnesota Goodbye,
(01:55):
So i'd go say, within thelast few weeks, definitely go back and
check out some episodes because we've talkedabout meeting there happily ever after, and
if you found them, if youfound that person once you've already been with
someone else, So yeah, gocheck those ones out. Sorry to not
trying to like brush over your email, but we've talked about this quite a
(02:15):
bit in like past episodes, SoI'm going to move on to another one.
Let's see this one says, Hey, guys, I got my staff
right or stick or yesterday. Iwill send you a picture once I figure
out where to stick it. Ijust also wanted to say thank you for
all your hard work and dedication tothe show and the podcasts. I do
have a question or topic for youtoo, though. What encourage you to
(02:38):
go to get into radio? What'syour favorite thing about the job? So
we'll start with that first. Sorrywe don't have Dave here today. Andrew,
this is Andrew in Ohio. Butwhat encourage you to get into radio
and what's your favorite thing about thejob. So for me, I was
in college trying to figure out whatto do with my life, and I
was like, well, I wantto do something with music, and I
(02:58):
always thought I wanted to be inlike pr or be like a publicist for
bands or something like that, whichnow is probably the equivalent of like a
social media person for bands. Publicistis like a very outdated term almost,
I feel like, but that wasmy goal. And then I saw an
internship for Dave's show open up,and I applied, and I got into
(03:19):
radio because of that, and thenI fell in love with it, and
I got really lucky that I sawthat internship because I have no idea where
I would be today had I notseen it, because radio wasn't my go
to, like I was really doingall not necessarily like not I honestly probably
not. No, I really wantedto do something with music. I was
in such a track of like publicrelations in college that I foresaw myself probably
(03:46):
just going to work for like afun agency in town. And I mean
radio doesn't pay very well. Butalso when you start out at ad or
pr agencies, that also is avery hard income stream when you first start
off. So yeah, I don'tthink it was. And then my favorite
thing about being in radio is withouta doubt, being able to connect with
(04:08):
you listening. It is like Idon't like, it's hard to explain,
but like when I go out inpublic and someone comes up to me and
says something like, oh my gosh, I've never related more about when you
talked about anxiety on the radio.That is like something that I wish everyone
had, is like I love toconnect with people. I love that radio
(04:29):
is a form of connection, eventhough we might not actually physically connect in
person. Someday if something I saidcan help you somehow in your life.
That is my favorite thing about radio. But Drake, what encourage you to
get into radio and what's your favoritething. Honestly, I think I was
just really trying to get a headstart on anything. I started radio when
I was thirteen years old. Iremember it was a radio station that I
(04:54):
always listened to as a kid,so I think there was a little bit
of like a nostalgic aspect to ittoo, of like I really wanted to
work here because I listened to itgrowing up. And I remember just sitting
and writing the little job resume g'sthank you yes words with my parents.
(05:14):
I was like, I have nothingI could put on this, so they're
probably not even gonna like look atit. Yeah, But I sent it
in and got word back like afew weeks later, and they wanted me
to come in and check it outand meet me. And then I started
interning and learning things, and thenit was all from there, But I
think mostly I just wanted to geta head start in something and I really
liked music and I want to Iknew I want to work in the music
(05:35):
industry, and that's kind of whereit all started. And for me,
what was the other question? Then? What's your favorite thing about radio?
Very similar to yours. I reallylike having a positive impact on somebody's life,
Like if I can put a smileon somebody's face, that to me
is like that makes me happy?Would I make other people happy? It
(05:57):
makes me super happy. So that'swhat it is worth it for me?
Got it? Yeah? And thenAndrew continues on He's got a couple more
questions. He says, what wasthe worst job you ever had and what
encouraged you to leave it when youdid? So, it's so you basically
have worked in radio your whole life. I've had three jobs, all of
(06:17):
them. I didn't really necessarily Ileft, but I left on good terms
because there was a new opportunity thatopened up. I've done. I've worked
for a DJ company doing weddings,which I kind of like unofficially quit.
I don't know, I just kindof like tapered off. It wasn't like
an official official job, but Iworked at had a lot of fun,
learned so many things from that,and then obviously working in radio and Green
(06:39):
Bay, I just left that whenthis opportunity came up. So that's pretty
much been my resume. Got itOkay, So the job itself wasn't exactly
like the worst job ever. IfI have to go back to the worst
job I've ever worked, it wasdefinitely when I was a bus girl when
I was fifteen years old, andI had to wear one of those old
diner dresses. I worked out likeit was this old school restaurant. My
(07:00):
dad literally worked there for forty fiveyears I think literally from the ag was
eighteen till he was sixty something,and so I had my first like real
job there, and it was justlike it was early hours I was in
high school. I had to bethere at like seven am on a Saturday
and Sunday, like almost every Saturdayand Sunday. Worked. So all of
(07:23):
my weekends, like right away inhigh school, I didn't like have weekends
to go like have all these sleepoverswith friends and stuff. I was always
working. But if I want totalk about like an actual, like career
job, more so outside of thefirst jobs you have that usually aren't the
greatest, I would have to say, and this has no shade against them,
because I absolutely love Canterbury Park.But when I worked in marketing at
(07:44):
Canterbury Park, because of the schedule, I was so miserable. I was
like twenty five years old, hadjust gotten out of like a relationship,
and my schedule was Wednesday through Sundayduring race season. So I was working
Wednesday in normal like nine to five, Thursday and Friday nights because those were
(08:05):
races, and then Saturday and Sundaydays because they raced Thursday through Sunday,
so it was night racing Thursday andFriday, Saturday and Sunday day racing.
So my schedule was Wednesday through Sundayall summer long. It included working on
Labor Day, Memorial Day, andthe fourth of July. There were no
holidays off. It was really hardon me mentally. I just didn't get
(08:28):
to do much with friends. AndI also went from being a server that
was interacting with people and working withfriends all the time to working in a
very like office environment. And theoffices at Canterbury also are in the basement
of Canterbury where there's no windows,so that was like another thing lots of
things I've learned in my years oflike just what helps me with my mental
(08:50):
health, and I definitely never realizedat the time how bad it was that
I was like sitting in this basementworking a bunch. But yeah, the
schedule was really hard for me becauseI was like single and my friends were
all out doing things, and ifI wanted to do stuff, I had
to be like going out after racesat like eleven PM to meet up with
them, and then I had tobe up a Saturday morning and at work
again at nine am to work afull eight hour a day, you know.
(09:13):
So the job itself wasn't bad.I really loved everyone I worked with
at Canterbury Park. Honestly some ofthe greatest professional people I've ever worked with.
I worked with amazing servers before inmy life, but like professionally,
that was probably one of my favoriteplaces I've worked with of people who were
just really good at their jobs.But the schedule just did not vibe for
(09:35):
me. So what encouraged me toleave was the fact that, like I
had already worked in radio on Dave'sshow, I was an intern, and
I really did love radio and that'swhat I wanted to do, but there
was nothing for me when I wasinterning. I had to leave eventually,
and so what encouraged me to getback was like just like honestly wanting to
be in radio so bad, andhow miserable I felt from doing like one
(09:56):
race season at Canterbury Park, becausethen once race season was done, my
schedule went back to Monday through Friday, but your entire summer was consumed with
that. So it really helped mepush me to get back into radio.
And then I took a big demotionto get back in. I went from
a full time marketing position to parttime assistant producer on City's ninety sevens morning
(10:18):
show. But I still had sideserving jobs, so I was able to
just like pick up more shifts backthen to like equate for the loss of
income. So yeah, that's along winded answer, Andrew. Sorry that
was a lot, but that youanswered yours right, Yeah, okay,
all right, thank you for thatone. Andrew in Ohio. Can't wait
to see where you put your sticker. Okay, this comes from Lauren.
(10:41):
She says, Hi, guys,I'm a first time writer, longtime listener,
and I couldn't help, but haveto respond to your topic the other
day on where you've dropped your phone. So my friend recently was at the
same Paul Christmas market helpings how they'reuse the porta Patti and dropped his phone
in the toilet. He said,he sifted, Oh gosh, I know
exactly where this is killing. Ohmy gosh, I'm trying to figure out
(11:07):
how much I want to filter this. He doesn't filter any of it,
no, he said, he siftedthrough turds to get to it, and
a bloody you know what that livingis? Oh man? Then he put
the phone back in his breast pocket. What he didn't even clean it or
anything. He went and found hiswife after with his hand all blue from
(11:31):
deep diving in the biff. Worstpart he cleaned it, of course,
in the phone case, but keptthe phone case. Those are like seven
dollars on Amazon anyway. Now it'sa debate between the friend group, would
you or would you not? Whatwould you guys do? My answer was
I'd grab it if it was sittingon top, But to dig through strangers
poop now I'm out. What wouldyou do? Would you dig in there.
(11:54):
I would what a hard for itperson, I would dig in there
for it. I would. Imean, so it was at the same
pole Christmas market. There's a goodchance he was wearing gloves. Maybe she
said that. She didn't say that, but it was winter time. I
would have been wearing gloves, soI would have at least had that,
and then I would have tossed thegloves. I would have put the glove
on, or had the glove indug in, did a little like biff
(12:16):
surgery, reach it in there,pulled it out, and then I would
have immediately like thrown it onto likethe ground, onto some snow if there
was snow around, to like washit off and then dish the glove.
Yeah, I would probably do allthat. I don't know if i'd be
wearing gloves though, yeah, younever wear gloves. I would never I
have to. I'd be gloveless,which honestly, I feel like I would
(12:37):
still do it. Yea, Iwould still do it. I'm not tossing
like a nine hundred dollars phone,especially with all your stuff on there,
like it's not yet it's worth justjust do it, I know. Yes,
Lauren, thank you for that somewhatdisturbing but very entertaining email. We
appreciate that, and she says thanksfor all the morning entertainment. I listen
(12:58):
every day, and that looks likewe, I think, are caught up
on emails already. So if youhave any emails for Drake and I,
I'm going to say, there's acouple in here that I'm going to say
because they're specifically directed towards Dave,but feel free to send him in to
Ryan's show at KADIWB dot com becauseit'll be Drake and I tomorrow as well,
(13:22):
and then Dave's going to be backon Monday. So thank you so
