Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, we're gonna get started on the Minnesota Goodbye,
and here we go. Sarah writes in then this is
mostly what we do on the Minnesota Goodbye is emails,
because it's kind of like a surprise. We never know
what we're gonna get in emails. So here's one spin
off from your favorite musical moments, which is a feature
we do. Is there a distinct childhood moment that created

(00:20):
a great memory? As an example, every time Jeopardy is on,
it brings me back to where I'd walk to my
grandparents' house after school, and when Jeopardy came on, I
know I'd know my mom was picking us up soon.
It makes me wonder what special moments we are creating
for our kids. One I hope they have is Saturday
mornings watching ESPN College game days, field Goal Contest, Me

(00:42):
making brunch, and the kids holler for me to come
watch to see if the college kids make the kick
to win hundreds of thousands of dollars from Pat McAfee. McAfee,
I don't know. It's always fun to watch and we
cheer and laugh, just love it. Dave, to have one
you hope the kids or grandkids will carry thanks for
having a great show. You've kept me steadily in entered saying,
while I've been job searching, happy to say work starts

(01:03):
this week and I'm pumped and energize get back into
the workforce after having some downtime. Sarah, Wow, Sarah. I
would say the Scooby Doo theme song and the Bugs
Bunny theme song, they definitely trigger a happy memory. We
always had pancakes on Saturday mornings, always, always, always, and

(01:24):
then a lot of the time there'd be a we
Blows meeting in our basement. So we Blows are like
a brand of boy Scouts, and so Saturday mornings, I
would get up early and I would watch Bugs Bunny,
Roadrunner and Scooby Doo. So I'd hear like, zoikes, Scooby
Dooby Doo, where are you? And it was definitely that's
a power. I can smell the pancakes for sure. And

(01:49):
with my kids, I don't know, I really don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:53):
Like they would have to say what there is, Yeah,
I really don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:58):
That we do a dance party in the kitchen whenever
the girls come over. I bought a little like a
disco light that flashes lights on the ceiling, and we'll
say like, okay, girls, what do you want Alexa to play?
And we'll be like, Alexa, play the wheels on the bus.
And so then she played the wheels on the bus
and the girls would dance Alexa play the Wheels on

(02:19):
the bus. Playing the Wheels on the Bus by Cedarmont
Kids on Amazon Music.

Speaker 3 (02:30):
Oh I'm Beyonce, all.

Speaker 1 (02:42):
Right, Alexa stop, Alexa stop? Thank you? So maybe that'll
be a memory. I don't really know what about you, Bailey, I.

Speaker 3 (02:49):
Got it well, if my memory banks are working right,
I'll definitely remember that you're not quite as into nursery
rhymes as your.

Speaker 1 (02:55):
Usual classic rock vibe, though I have to say it's
quite the departure from your tip.

Speaker 2 (03:00):
Cindy Lapper requests.

Speaker 3 (03:03):
Stop is that connected to your It must know, it
must know?

Speaker 1 (03:08):
I don't you're a big One of the most beautiful
songs of the eighties was True Colors by Cindy Laupper,
and there was a time when in Carson's life when
he was like down and very sullen, and the line
I can't remember when I last saw you laughing. Oh
it makes me cry, because there was a time in
my life in Carson's life when I would hear that

(03:30):
song and I'm going to tear up a little bit,
when I would not be able to remember the last
time I saw Carson laughing, because he was just sullen
and I'm not really sure what the deal was, whether
there was a problem or whether he was unhappy, but
I could not remember when I So when that song
comes on, I can't remember when I last saw you laughing.

(03:51):
Oh no, if this world makes you crazy and you
take in all you can there, call me up because Alexa, Alexa, Hey, Alexa,
Now she's ignoring me. Yeah, okay, fine, all right, Bailey,
you were saying.

Speaker 2 (04:08):
So anyway, my sister and I would spend pretty much
all of our time together. I really value having a
sister so close in age to me because it was
a built in best friend and my dad's third wife.
So my step mom had a house with an attic,
and we would wake up early and we'd go up
into the attic and watch TV. And we would watch

(04:30):
like Jackie Chan Adventures, which was such a dope cartoon,
and then like Power Rangers and Drug Rats, those those
kind of things, like the things that were out in
the nineties, but like we loved WB Kids. That was
where it was at. And so now anytime I think
about those shows, I think about being up in the
attic of my stepmom's house.

Speaker 1 (04:51):
Very cool.

Speaker 2 (04:52):
Sure it was.

Speaker 3 (04:52):
Lovely, Jenny, My mom and I went through a phase
of playing games every single night together, and we'd always
play Mancala. That was like the name one, and then
like a couple other ones. So that's just like a
memory that I'll never I'll always cherish. She never did
that with my other sisters. And then another one is
like my dad would be out in the backyard working
on yard stuff, and then my sister and I would

(05:14):
be on the swing set listening to his cassette of
the Beach Boys, swinging as high as we could, thinking
we were gonna hit the roof, and we'd be like,
Dad watch and we'd be working.

Speaker 2 (05:25):
We'd be like, we're gonna hit it. We're gonna we're
gonna hit the roof.

Speaker 3 (05:30):
That pretty often in the summer.

Speaker 1 (05:31):
Sarah, awesome email. Thank you very much. Next one, please
don't say my name. Random question, need of advice. I
know Dave and Bailey have tattoos. I can't remember if
Jenny does you do I do a couple, but I
am thinking more seriously about getting my first tattoo. The
only thing that's holding me back is how much it'll hurt.

(05:53):
I know everybody has different pain tolerances, but I have
no idea what to expect. I have very low pain
tolerance and fortunately never had really any physical pains or
broken a bone in my life. If I do get one,
I would absolutely get one in a spot that is
likely not to hurt as much. I worry it will
be unbearable, feel like you're going to get sick type
of pain. Any tips or advice you can provide. Thanks.

(06:15):
You are very smart to wonder about that, because I
will say when I got the tattoos on the back
of my caves, that was about as much pain as
I could bear. I was this close to saying you
gotta stop, but I knew that the only way to
finish it was to go through the pain. Yeah, when
I got the one on the inside of my forearm,
Josie's little pomp print, same thing. It really hurts about
as much as I can tolerate.

Speaker 2 (06:36):
Yeah, I've had. I mean, I have a bunch. I
would say, like, if you're looking specifically to get it,
somewhere where it doesn't hurt as bad. Get it somewhere
where you have a lot of fats. So like I've
gotten one, I got one on like the my upper butt,
and then I have one on like my upper thigh,
and those really didn't hurt that bad. They still hurt,
like regardless, it is painful, but I liken it to

(06:59):
being like scratched by a cat multiple times over and
over and over again. Obviously getting my lips done that
hurt the most out of anything because it's like super
thin skin, and like my elbow really hurt. But like
the back of my arm, since that's got like a
lot of fat there barely I I like, it hurt,
but it doesn't hurt that bad.

Speaker 3 (07:18):
So I have one that's behind my ear. It's just
a small flower. I'm telling you that, Like it didn't
hurt at all. Oh, and there's not much fat. It's
like we're on the bone behind my ear.

Speaker 2 (07:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (07:29):
But I got one on my ribcage too, and that
one hurt.

Speaker 2 (07:31):
Yeah, it's hurt a lot.

Speaker 3 (07:33):
Yeah, So that's that definitely hurt quite a bit. So Yeah,
I don't know, maybe just research like the least painful spots. Yeah,
I also do have a high pain tolerance. I'm the
person who pierced my belly button with a cow needle twice,
so like I know, I have a decent pain.

Speaker 2 (07:46):
Time.

Speaker 3 (07:46):
When I broke my wrist awfully in like three different places,
I still drove home from troll hogin that night and
still didn't go to the doctor for like thirty six
hours when I was like highly injured. So I might
not be the best to say, but I'm telling you
the one behind my ear didn't hurt at all.

Speaker 1 (08:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (08:02):
Interesting, they still they have numbing cream, or a lot
of tattoo artists have numbing cream, and that really does
dull the pain immensely. So see if you can use
numbing cream, stay hydrated, and you can take breaks during
the time that you're getting tatoo.

Speaker 1 (08:16):
I guess that's true. Yeah, but prepare yourself because it is.

Speaker 2 (08:20):
It is.

Speaker 1 (08:20):
It does absolutely hurt, but it's temporary and the end
of it, you have a tattoo that you love.

Speaker 2 (08:25):
Dope ass tattoo.

Speaker 1 (08:27):
Next one, Hello everyone and me That me. I've emailed
in a few times, but having a common name like Sarah,
I'm hard to pick out of a crowd. One way
you might remember me is I was the first one
to email about the scrolling ticker on the YouTube channel
to get my husband's business on there. Yeah, before you
guys were told stop doing it. My fun fact is
now I have a voicemail from Dave Ryan himself. Yeah,

(08:48):
we had the scrolling little advertisement on the bottom of
the YouTube channel and the boss said, no, you can't
do that, and I'm like, bitch, why not. I mean,
we made more money on that in one week than
you've made on it in like five years, So it
really is kind of annoying. Yesterday on the podcast, you
guys talked about things you got to think about when

(09:09):
naming your kids. Well, one thing I didn't think about
with mine was how much people would think he was
introducing himself by his last name. His name is Anderson,
and I love it, but so many people think we're
given his last name and not his first He doesn't
understand this yet because he's only four. We'll say Hi,
this is Anderson and somebody will say, oh, hi, mister Anderson,

(09:30):
what's your first name? And he stares at him or
says Anderson, kind of like you dumb ass, I just
told you tone. Yeah, anyway, speaking to kids. I was
thinking about how isolating having small kids feels at times,
But at the same time, they're my favorite people, and
I love how much they want to spend time with
us right now, and I know eventually that'll go away,

(09:50):
so I'm learning just to embrace that. On that same note,
what would each of you say is your favorite and
least favorite part of your phase of life right now?
As always loved the show dart Lick Sarah, I need
a minute to think about it. My favorite and least
favorite part. I would say my least favorite part, I'm

(10:10):
getting really tired of getting up at four fifteen, four
thirty in the morning. It's really it's kind of soul crushing, sure,
because I've been doing it for since I was twenty
one years old. Yeah, and it really is. That is
probably the hardest part of my life. My favorite part,
I would say the financial freedom that comes with being

(10:34):
a little bit older and not have to worry about
bills and things like that. So I would say the
financial freedom that we were able to buy an RV
last year and so we don't struggle with finances because
as you get older, most people have figured out a
way to manage their finances.

Speaker 2 (10:52):
Yeah, Bailey, I would say my least favorite part of
my life right now is feeling like I should be
farther along in like my adultness, Like I should have
a house, I should have investments, and I should be
married and all of that jazz. But especially with like
house investments, that kind of stuff. No one teaches you

(11:14):
that stuff, so then you have to take time to
teach yourself. When I would prefer to spend my time
being a patron of the community and going to see
theater and going to improv shows and taking classes and
things like that, because that is my favorite part of
my life right now. Is because I am single and
I live alone, I get to do whatever I want,

(11:36):
whenever I want, And I really like that about my
life right now.

Speaker 3 (11:40):
Jenny, my least favorite part is the fact that I'm
at a point in life where I am probably in
like the best shape of my life, but my body
won't allow it. I have bad knees, I have a
bad risk I do all of these things, and I
just feel like I can't get stronger because my knee
won't let me, or like I can't do a regular
push up because my wrist hurts too bad. So I

(12:00):
would say that's maybe my least favorite. It's just like
the whole aging part of life right now. And then
my favorite is probably just the freedom that I've gotten.
My life changed drastically six months ago becoming single, and
I think I've realized that I've put too many people
before myself and I'm not doing that anymore.

Speaker 1 (12:22):
Hell yeah.

Speaker 3 (12:22):
And so I am really not selfishly looking out for myself,
but I'm looking out for myself a little bit more
than I have in the past. And it's a good feeling.

Speaker 2 (12:32):
Hell yeah.

Speaker 1 (12:33):
Pimpin' next one also from a Sarah Oh, and we'll
see what she's got here. It's a little bit longer,
so we'll see we can get through it. Dave, I've
been listening to you since I was eighteen. I'm thirty eight.
I would love to have one of your bobble heads.
Let's see. Oh, I would absolutely love to have one
of these. If I found one out of the wild,

(12:53):
they would purchase it immediately. Here are some of my
KTWB memories. During COVID, Steve was doing me some good news.
Listeners called in and shared good news and things they
were doing. You guys had me on the radio because
I had a huge neighborhood dance party during COVID. Everyone
on my street went out to the end of their
driveway with speakers and customs and bubbles and we danced
and waved. It was so fun. Dave, you write and

(13:18):
talk like you are talking to one person, so instead
of you guys, you say you. I write like this,
especially when storytelling to a group email. People comment on
it and like the way I write. I credit you. Wow,
that's very, very flattering. The second is this when you
talk about success being when preparedness meets opportunity. This is

(13:41):
so true. I recently found myself in a position in
life for a fun little business adventure, and it absolutely
is preparedness meets opportunity. You are the dad voice that's
been consistent in my adult life since my real dad
has mostly opted out. I'm sorry to hear that. I'm
listening to the podcast and now and now I realize
you want people to call in, but I've already written this.

(14:03):
It's okay if you are only doing it over the phone.
Anyway they want, they give me their address to send
a bobblehead. I probably won't be able to do that,
but I appreciate you wanting one. We're giving some away,
probably more this we might move the time around a
little bit, so maybe like seven twenty tomorrow morning or
something like that. Nice, and that is it for the
Minnesota Goodbye. Send those emails to Ryan's show at KDIWB
