Speaker 1 (00:00):
Minnesota. Good Bye. Let's start off with birthday girl, Cherise,
here we go, Today's my birthday. She wrote this this
morning at two fourteen in the morning. Jesus, Cherise, what
the fuck were you doing up at two fourteen in
the morning. I'm just curious. I mean, Coach always used
to say nothing good happened happens after ten pm.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Tenat or my coach, My coach, I say, after midnight,
nothing good happens.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Anyway, Happy birthday. I would love a shout out of
the podcast We Love You, so here's your shout out.
Had a question about the Lasagne Lady Lasagne Lady. Who
wants to update Lasagne Lady? I mean, who wants to
tell the story of Lasagne Lady? In case you don't
know it, I.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
Mean cliff notesay is that this woman was on a
date with a guy. She was at his place and
he was getting a little drunk and getting a little
like em what if I touched your leg and what
if I tried to kiss you right now? And she
started getting uncomfortable, so she said, I'm going to go,
and they were making lasagna and he said, no, you
can't leave before the lasagna's does So she devised a plan,
which was once the lasagna was done, she was going
(01:03):
to throw the lasagna onto him and leave, which she did,
and then she called us because she was scared about
the entire situation, whether he was going to press charges
against her or if he was going to show up
at her place.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
M hm.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
And that's pretty much it.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
So we talked to her the other day yesterday, I think,
and she's not heard anything, and her lawyer said, just
write down everything that happened and just don't do anything.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
So she says, I to have been an uncomfortable situation
with men, And I was just curious as to why
she didn't just text a friend or family member to
come pick her up or even call the police unless
she did, and that was not mentioned on the air.
Since I don't know the whole story. I was just wondering.
I would imagine a threat to call the police would
have changed his behavior. Unless there is more to the
story anyway, Thanks, if you guys read this all right,
(01:55):
you know what, I never thought about that one. There
could be more to the story, because what say about
every story or argument, there's three sides? Oh yeah, your side,
my side, and the truth?
Speaker 4 (02:05):
Right, and I always think about that.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
For a lot of people who call in in general
and they tell us like, here's what happened to me,
I think, okay, well, I want to know more details
from like other points of view, just to get like
a fuller picture. So I definitely agree that there's probably
more that's not said that we'll never know.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Yeah, sometimes you never know. Next one, don't say my
name because I don't want people that work to know
I'm talking about them. Ooh, we're doing a quarterly order
for Gear. The average agent of employees is probably twenties.
I'm in my thirties. Along with my boyfriend. He thinks
I'm crazy for having a checkbook. It randomly writes checks.
What is the normal age for people who write checks?
(02:46):
Do you all have checkbooks? This could go on the
radio show as well. But now I'm very curious because
I thought I was the odd duck who randomly writes
checks like the DMV or whatever random place i'm at.
I don't write checks, let's say, at cub or Target.
I truly don't even know if they take checks. I
guess they probably do. Yeah, but I haven't written a
(03:07):
check at a grocery store or a retail outlet for
a long time. I write checks for kids birthdays, I
write checks for charity, I write checks for I don't know,
the occasional bill. Yeah, but not really. I don't touch
my check book maybe once or twice a month.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Yeah. We used to not take checks at any of
the retail jobs that I worked. We weren't. We didn't
take them because they would bounce so often. I haven't
written a check since I used to have to write
them for rent. And then once my landlord switched over
to an online system that's like direct deposit and it
does it automatically, I have not touched my check book
since then, and that was probably two years ago. So
(03:46):
I have not written a check since. I don't have
a checkbook anyway.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
Really okay, because TCF switched to Huntington, and when that happened,
I would have had to buy new checks, and I
was too cheap to buy new checks, and there's nothing
I write a check for, so I was like, well,
I don't, I can't.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
It's funny. When I first moved here in nineteen ninety three,
we were all out getting lunch at some deli somewhere
and somebody said, yeah, everywhere in Minnesota takes checks. Oh,
everywhere takes checks. And they did. And now the opposite
is true. There's so many places that do not. Yeah.
I like this one from Marie. She says, question, are
(04:22):
there any bits on the show that you've done that
you wish you could bring back or do again? On
the flip side, any bitch you've done that you regret
doing and wish you never did it. Yeah, there was
one that Steve O did. He did a parody song
one time and got us into a lot of trouble
and I won't even bring up what it is, but
I definitely regret that one. But bits that I wish
(04:47):
that we could do again, I'll tell you one that
that I'm embarrassed by. But at the time, I think
one of the things is there's certain things that if
we did them today we would be canceled.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
But when and we did them, not a single person complained,
not a single one. We did one twenty five years
ago called Pancocky and it was a parody of Boococky.
So we took pancake batter and we sprayed it all
over women's faces so they could win whatever tickets it
(05:20):
was and we got it on video and everybody thought
it was hysterical. And I remember, right here by this window,
there was this woman, she's probably twenty five years old,
and we took a cake decorator sporter and we sprayed
pancake batter on her face and we thought it was hysterical,
and listeners thought it was hysterical, and even she giggled
through the whole thing. And I look back at that
now and I'm like, God, but what the funny thing
(05:42):
was is not a single complaint because the world was
different back then. It was kind of like, I don't know.
There's other things that I don't even want to bring
them up because people go, oh, well, I'm going to
cancel you. Twenty five years later, I'll give you one.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
Sure.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Hiram called the fu king Kitchen one time. Do you
remember this bit?
Speaker 2 (06:00):
I remember Hiram and that he would say like outlandish
stuff all the time.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
So Hiram was a character on the show, and there
was a place that we found in New York called
the fu Foo king ki Ng Kitchen fou king Kitchen.
So he calls up and he's like, does this the
fou king Kitchen?
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Because the guy had gotten a ton of prank phone calls. Yeah,
do you got any fucking rice? Yeah? You got any
fu king egg rolls? The guy's like, okay, you done?
Now you happy? You finished? Now, he goes, I'll put
it up your fucking ass, motherfucker. Ah. And it was
very funny because the guy fired back at Hiram. Yeah,
but it was basically making fun of like a Chinese restaurant. Yeah,
(06:40):
I wouldn't do that now.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
No, yeah, no choice.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Things that I wish I could bring back. Steve O
teaches your kids the meaning of the word no, which
was always hysterical. That was the one where Steve O
would say, hey, do you want to win Taylor Swift tickets?
And a thirteen year old girl, back when she was
more appealing to thirteen year old girls, would say that.
She'd be like, yeah, yeah, Oh my god, wouldn't it
be great? What's your name, Casey? Wouldn't it be great
(07:05):
Casey to go to Taylor Swift? Oh my god, Yes,
do you want to go? Would it be so? Would
it make your year Casey to go to the Taylor
Swift show?
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (07:13):
No, The answer is no. You had to learn the
meaning of the word no, and we would laugh hysterically
and everybody loved this bit. Do you remember this bit, Jenny,
I was.
Speaker 4 (07:24):
Not on the show.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
You guys had to retire it before I started, but yeah,
briefly before.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
I remember hearing it and not liking it because I
thought you guys were bullying children.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Well we were, but it was very funny and that
the premise was we're teaching your kids the meaning of
the word no, because kids don't know the meaning of
the word no. So it was very funny and it
was awful and whatever, and people loved it until a
mother called the president of our company and got a
hold of Bob Pittman and said this radio station told
(07:53):
my daughter that she won. And then they blah blah blah,
and Bob Pittman wrote to us or called us and said,
give her tickets and never do that bit again. Okay,
so that was a funny one. Anything else you guys
that you wish we could do again or we could
bring back.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
Well, I know Dave won't agree with this one, but
Bailey and I like Mixtape Game, so I wish we
could play Mixtape Game. But we do test things and
see how they do, and Mixtape Game wasn't performing very well.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
So that one.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
And there's one thing that I did as an intern,
but I honestly can't talk about it on the show.
But I'm like, I'm annoyed that I did it because
I feel like I just wanted to be on air
and you guys asked me to do something and then
I got a lot of backlash on social media for it, okay,
and so I'm like, kind of it wasn't like truly
who I was as a person, and so I like
(08:41):
look back at that and I'm like, I shouldn't have
done that.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
No, I get that. We did another one called Biggest
Hoe for the front Row and I don't remember exactly,
but I think we had women call in and whoever
admitted to sleeping with the most men, But I don't
remember that. If that's exactly how it worked, you verify it, yeah, right. Yeah.
We also did Hoody and Know for front Row, which
was cool because it was like, okay, have like a
(09:08):
celebrity call in, like if you know, you know, I
don't know, Travis Kelcey, who did you say, Josh, Josh Hartnett, Yes,
And they would call in, and that's not a bit
that we can't do. We just rarely get front row
tickets or anything anymore. We did one, oh, one of
my favorites was remember the show Temptation Island. It was
(09:30):
on twenty twenty five years ago, and basically they put
a bunch of couples on an island, but they would
split them up, so the males would go over this side.
No that's not right. I don't remember exactly, but they
would try to get other contestants to sleep with them.
And if you slept with somebody and you're in a relationship,
you would be out. So we did Temptation Trailer and
(09:54):
we found a trailer up north somewhere, and we found
two women and a guy. This is spicy. If they
spent the night in the trailer together and he and
they were able to seduce him and have sex with them,
they won Vikings tickets. And it was like a playoff
game like in you know, New York or whatever. And
(10:15):
if he resisted, then he won playoff tickets. I don't
remember the details, but he did sleep with one of them,
so the girls won the Vikings tickets. Would never do
that now for so many reasons, and I would say,
these are not bits that I wish we could do again,
(10:37):
but definitely definitely memorable.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Yeah, and I miss Dave's Wheel of Girlfriends and I'm
the only one.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
But spin the wheel, Spin the wheel, the.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
Change.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Ah.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
Yes, mary Anne, I just Mary Anne.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Yeah, Mary Anne was. She was when everybody was afraid
of AIDS. And Mary Anne was quite promiscuous. She was
a cute blonde girl, but she was quite promiscuous and
it was the age when everybody was afraid of AIDS.
So I definitely wrapped that rascal before before Mary Anne
and I and she's very sweet, yeah, you know, and
(11:17):
I'm sure she did not have HIV, but I was
being very careful. Probably a station party or something. Yeah,
classic spin it again.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
Bailey, like the lighting up as Bailey does her sound effect,
She's like, let's see talking to you.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
Mary Kay.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Oh, Mary Kay. She was lovely. I was still in
fringe with Mary Kay. Mary Kay was the was an assistance.
If you'd like to feedback, Alexa stop. Mary Kay was
an assistant news producer at the radio station that I
worked at. And the story I've told you the story
about Mary Kay before she was you know, we were
(11:59):
at a stage the first time we hooked up. We
were like flirty and whatever. But the first time we
hooked up, and this is awful. We were at a
hotel room and the boys were staying in this room
and the girls were staying in this room on queen beds. Yeah,
so two queen beds on each room. So for some reason,
Mary Kay and I were making out in the bed
next to Laura, Laura's one bed over, yeah, and we
(12:22):
thought Laura was asleep, so we start to do our
thing and she was not asleep. And she was not asleep,
and so Mary Kay and I are doing our thing
and Laura was not asleep the next day or a
couple of days later, And this is awful, and I'm
not proud of this, but i'll tell you. The next day,
Laura complained about it, so they fired her.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
Oh my not, isn't that awful, Laura?
Speaker 1 (12:46):
And trust me, this was when I was twenty three
or twenty four years old. Yeah, I still I don't
think about it often, but I realized how fucking wrong
that was. She's so yeah, and Mary Kay and I
are still friends.
Speaker 4 (12:59):
Oh hey, that's nice. That's good. I me and so
friends that it feels bad for Laura, But I.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Think I'm friends with most of the people that I
have dated.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
In my life on the wheel. Yeah, oh wow, I
think so yeah, do you like Facebook friends with them?
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Some of them I am, Some of my I don't know.
They may be dead, oh because some of them, Like anybody,
you look for old friends on Facebook and sometimes you
can't find them. Yeah, so you figure, well, who's not
on Facebook?
Speaker 4 (13:22):
I think of out all the time.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
But now it's like cool to not have social media,
which I think is dumb.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Tell me more about that, just that, like.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
If you don't have Facebook or Instagram, that it seems like, yeah,
I'm off the grid, and I get like not wanting to,
you know, be poisoned by social media. But like I feel,
we live in a day and age where if you
don't have one then it, I don't know, it's weird,
like if I can't find you somewhere. It sounds weird
when I'm laying it out, like if I can't find you,
(13:49):
then there's something wrong with you versus something wrong with me.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
But it's just weird when people don't have social media.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
I know one or two people in my life that
are like, oh no, I don't do anything on Facebook.
I don't do social media. I don't want myself out there.
I'm like, nobody cares. There's no government agency that's going,
Oh look at this, Brenda went to the mall today.
You know, nobody cares. Nobody cares.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
Yeah, yeah, I don't believe in that stuff. I don't
care if the government wants to track my social media accounts. However,
I just like don't do Facebook because I think that
that's like outdated for me.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
And my joy of social media. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
I did see something recently that was like, you know,
the average amount of time we spent on social media,
Like you could have built a business by this point
because of how much time we spent on social media.
And like last night, I think I took a little nap.
I got up and I'm like on my phone and
I'm like fucking put it down, and I started mudding
my wall and two and a half hours later, I
accomplished something and I could have just sat on my
(14:43):
couch and that's great, And it's just like it's so true,
like what the fuck did we.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
Used to do? I boll see.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
That's what I think though, is like before social media,
weren't we all just watching TV? More and before that,
weren't we all just listening to the radio more like
I think there was always something to I agree, Yeah,
it's not like in nineteen twelve.
Speaker 4 (15:02):
Where dopamine hits.
Speaker 3 (15:04):
And that's what's what's not great about social media is
that quick dopamine hit that is not like what our
brain should be getting constantly.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
I wonder what I remember when there used to be
magazines in doctor's offices, and you would go to the
doctor's office and there it'd be like, you know, People
magazine or whatever, Newsweek, and then you would go into
the examining room and you have to wait for the doctor,
you know it takes her twenty minutes to come in
or whatever, and you would pull out a newsag like
(15:34):
Newsweek or Highlights or Highlights.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
That's what it is, Highlights.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
And now they don't even have magazines anymore, because what
do you do you play on your phone? I remember
one time I was at a doctor's office waiting for
a long time. There was no magazine, so I pulled
out my wallet and went through pictures and business cards.
Speaker 4 (15:53):
That's smart, though, because I do that too.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
If I can't use my phone somewhere, I will go
through my bag like my person clean it out.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
You always get it done at least.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
Yeah, that's a.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Very good point though. I mean, think about the and everybody.
Everybody knows this. You could write a novel. You could
write the great American novel in the time you spend
scrolling on your phone. Yeah, you really could. You do
something terribly worthwhile.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
But even in nineteen twelve, you could have done that.
You could have written a novel too, But you were
sitting and listening to your stories on the radio. So
I think there's always something.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Right, There's always something.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Yeah, there's not as much of the like the doping
dopamine thing with TV and radio, but there's always something
to distract you or reading a book, you know, like
even prior to radio, I bet you were.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
We used to like yeah, when I was back in
nineteen twelve, when you know, when we had time to kill,
we would burn things with a magnifying glass.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
That's kind of how we got our dopamine hit.
Speaker 4 (16:45):
Yeah, it is fun doing that. Yeah, and cross much.
I like back then, what was it?
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Everything is weird because everything was black and white. Yeah,
and yeah, and you didn't like, you know, like your
girlfriend's wearing a red sweater. It looked like a blue sweat.
Speaker 4 (17:00):
Wow that you rode to school? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (17:03):
My horse? Yeah, Buttercup?
Speaker 4 (17:05):
Who was the president? Tyler Tyler?
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Yeah, Tyler Spencer Tyler. All right, that's it, silly Minnesota.
