Speaker 1 (00:01):
Minnesota Goodbye. Thank you very much for listening to this podcast,
whether you're brand new, whether you've been listening to the
entire thing. Some people have binged every episode or like
have listened through like seven or eight years of the
Minnesota Goodbye, and maybe they discovered it a year or
so they went back and listened, like on a road
trip and binged episodes of the Minnesota Goodbye.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Thank You. Here is to start off.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Mary Alice writes in we're talking about spoiling the idea.
And by the way, if you have a child in
the car or with you, this is not adult, it's
not dirty, but it is something you do not want
your young child to hear, because we're going to talk
about Santa Claus, and Santa Claus has got little secrets,
and Santa does not want your child to hear the
little secrets that we're going to talk about with Santa
(00:46):
and gift giving and stockings and chimneys and things like that.
So if you got a kid with you that Moose
you a child, go away moos. I believe is German
that Moose, Yes, she says, I want to add to
the topic of Santa in the Magic of Christmas when
I was little, my friend's mom told her Santa wasn't
(01:08):
real and she told me. I called my mom in
disbelief and said, mom, is it true. She told me
that Santa wasn't a real person, but she still believes
in Santa because he is the magic of Christmas. She
told me there were time she didn't know how she'd
afford presents to put under the tree, but by some miracle,
it always worked out. I really liked that my mom
told me the truth but said she still believed in him.
(01:29):
It really made me love Christmas, but in a different way.
That's my two cents have a great day.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
I like that. I do too, I really do too.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
It's like, okay, Santa is what she say that it
wasn't a real person, but she still believes in the
Santa in Santa because he is the magic of Christmas.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
I remember when I found out. It was like someone
was in line, like in a class in third grade,
and someone said it out loud, and I was like
what what? And I didn't believe him at first, And
then as a child does, I was snooping and I
saw presents in the basement that's from Santa. And then
when I woke up in the morning and there they were.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
I was like, oh, exactly, you just kind of like
put two and two together. I don't feel like I
need anyone to tell me that Santa does not exist.
I just you find it out and then you decide
whether or not you want to be a buzzkill for
everybody else. And then if you're a real kid, definitely
wasn't going around telling me what. No, You're just like, oh,
(02:29):
that makes sense. But I still like Christmas, and I
do believe that Santa is the spirit of Christmas.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Santa was in the They did a Santa parade through
our neighborhood on Sunday night, and they had Santa and
sitting on top of a truck, and they had a
fire truck, and they had a bunch of kids and
some floats the neighborhood to kids to put together, neighborhood
to put together, and kids would run along and collect
your bag of donated groceries and food and that type
of thing, and and Santa was of course the last
(02:57):
entry in the float. I believe in the parade, and
even knowing that it's a neighborhood dad, it was still cool.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
It's like, oh, they're Santa and we don't.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Have any kids anymore, but there's still all there's Santa
and you wave and he was playing it.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Up, Oh Christmas.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
And it's like, even though you know it's not the
real Santa, there's still some magic there.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
And I feel like the magic is that there's here's
this like older gentleman who's dressed up as this like
Christmas character and bringing joy to everybody. That is Christmas
to me, and I feel like that's so sweet. I
like the dudes who dress up as Santa like all
year long, like they'll be like summertime wearing like a
kind of Christmas Eve like short shirt with little suspenders
(03:43):
with a giant white beard. Because then kids are like,
oh my gosh, what Sanna, and he'll go like he weed.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
I love that.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
We used to have a tradition Carson and I would
go snowboarding at Highland every Christmas Eve and it lasted
probably five or eight years something like that. And one
year Santa was there and Santa was up skiing and
snowboarding and everybody including us, had to go get a
picture with Santa.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Carson was like bad dum da dad bah, and.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
I'm like no, We're gonna go get our picture with Santa,
and Santa loved it. He was very gracious because you know,
he knew he's Santa. You got to pose for pictures.
So yeah, there's definitely some magic to Santa, even when
you know the truth right. Next one is from Dana
data Wright. Santa was so bummed to miss the live
Minnesota Goodbye since it was a huge success. I was
(04:31):
hoping a live show could become a holiday tradition for Christmas.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Wish.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Oh, absolutely, Hopefully I can make it to the next one.
I did make a donation and watched YouTube live. It
looked like so much fun. Just like everyone, I love
wan Nita. When shit pisses me the fuck off, I
think of her, what would she say or do? For example,
I was at Target and tons of people drag their
feet across the floor, making a swishing sound on the floor.
(04:57):
It makes me want to stab myself in the fucking ear.
Pick up your fucking feet and walk like a normal person.
Shout out, Juanita Dave, my bobblehead of you is in
the Christmas spirit? Is my bobblehead of you is in
the Christmas spirit? In my kitchen? Oh there I am
Dave Ryan bobblehead with a Santa hat on next to
her elf on the shelf, next to a penguin Santa mug.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Don't move your computer at my fuck something, it will
fund up.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
But yeah, it's she's got a little shelf in her
corner of her kitchen and with a Santa candle, a
little mug of wine, and then a bottle of wine
that I am honored to be in the Santa corner,
the Christmas corner of your kitchen. Jenny, by the way, Yeah,
speaking of things that pishy the fuck off. I found
this the other day, but I think I forgot to
(05:46):
send it to you. It is a meme that says
study shows that people irritated by chewing by chewing sounds
tend to have a higher IQ. So, Jenny, very irritated
by chewing sound, you may have a higher IQ.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
I mean, I was a four point er student, but
it was because I studied a lot. I don't necessarily know.
It was just because I was like naturally intelligent. If
we retain any of that, absolutely fucking not.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
But mean as well, I'm like, well I could take
a test really well because I could cram.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
I know, that it's called like miss aphonia or something
and is an actual disorder. And I know that meat
Sauce on the Hall has it too, and everyone thinks
that meat Sauce is dumb, and he's actually extremely intelligent,
like because he plays.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
The dope, it's very hard meat saush.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Kfan, but he really is actually quite smart. So maybe
we're just out here being all smart and stuff but
hating the way people eat.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Shut up.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
I drove Susan crazy. We were doing a road trip
over Thanksgiving. And when you stop at a gas station,
what do you get snacks? What snack is very popular
at peanuts? Cornuts bingo. Corn nuts are the motherfucking loudest
food ever. So I'd eat them in the car and
(07:02):
she'd be like, how many more of them are you
going to have? And I'd be like what, ah, the chewing,
and then there were leftover. So I'm in the hotel
room or somewhere. Carrunch, carrunch, carrunch, Oh my god, can
you not do that? Of course as a spouse, Yeah,
what is your response?
Speaker 4 (07:19):
You're gonna do it louder and more.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Then go again daily, Absolutely right, So all right? Next
one from thang Lee Rights in morning show. Seems like
this year there's not as many donations for Christmas Wish
based on what the show has been saying and doing.
I've been listening for many years now, and I think
almost every year there would be a day where a
company would match listener's donations up to a certain amount.
For some reason, I keep thinking the matching donation today
(07:42):
was always after Christmas Wishes had started. Is there a
reason this match Day doesn't start earlier? This way there'd
be more funds for wishes from the beginning. Also, just
wondering what's range for a year with the most money
donated versus the least. Oh, I don't know. Any other
insight would be interesting. Thank you, thank for asking. We
did start. We actually made a mistake and we should
(08:04):
have started match Day last week, but we got a
little bit confused. And so it is going on. By
the time you hear this, it'll be over, probably, But
it was Tuesday morning from six until ten, and it's
Treasure Island.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
So and I will say that I know that person
said that it seems like we're behind on donations, but
I know so many people who wait until we do
Match Day to donate. Because my Mom had been texting
me last week. She's like, I've been waiting for match
day to donate, and I was like, yeah, we're doing
it Tuesday whatever. So I think people like really value
the match day so much and then we after today,
I think we will be doing pretty good with donations,
(08:41):
but we still have like twelve Christmas wishes to do,
so if you were thinking about donating, obviously, any amount
of money helps us out.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Okay, now this one, I may have read part of
it because it is a three parter topic email, So
if I read part of it, then I will just
let me know if I did, and we'll skip it. Okay,
here we go topic number one. I've noticed recently there's
been more of a push regarding non AI radio. I
think I heard Dave mention in a handful of times
(09:11):
over the past few weeks that iHeart doesn't have AI
radio DJs? Is that something other radio stations or companies
are using. Should we be worried that KWDB may switch?
KTBDB has been a part of my life for better
than twenty five years. I started listening in elementary school
and now look forward to beinging the podcast. I can't
imagine listening to AI instead of the lovely morning show crew.
(09:33):
You guys are local and relatable. I think that probably
some radio stations are using AI, but people hate it,
hate it, and the company has basically banned everything AI.
There were some that were like not DJ's but it
was like, you're listening to kd WB, the Twin Cities
(09:56):
number one hit music station. That would be done not
on our station, but for example, just one of those
simple things by AI. We don't do any of that.
And we used to have a song generator that would
create AI generated songs. We're not even allowed to do
that anymore. Yeah, after I paid one hundred and thirty
dollars to subscribe.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
To the service, you.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
Want to subscribe from that or this is going to
be you're new whatever that you were subscribed to for years?
Speaker 2 (10:20):
What was it called thing or whatever? What was that called?
Oh god, well job, jip job.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
Yeah, you need to subscribe, now, make it, write it down.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
No I did.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
I already unsubscribed. Immediately, we're canceling subscriptions. I was a
member of a gun range club where you go in
and you get like priority reservations and free targets and
things like that, and it comes up on the credit card.
Susan's like, why are you a member of this gun club?
Speaker 2 (10:45):
You never go? And I said, you're right, so we
called and we canceled it.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
Yeahow.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
And there's other things like I have a big elliptical
at home. It's called an I Fit, And when you
buy an I Fit, you get like the first three
years of their subscription four it's included. But now the
if it's like upgrade to I Fit Pro for only
three hundred dollars, A fuck you. No, I'm not gonna
do it. I don't need to. I track all my
(11:10):
workouts on my Apple Watch. Yeah, and it will do
like a peloton workout, like you'll go through the streets
of Greece or you know, around the Eiffel Tower or whatever.
I don't I watch TV. I don't do those workouts.
I watch Joe Kenda Homicide Hunter. You guys ever watch
that show?
Speaker 2 (11:26):
No? No, that's a kind of thing.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Yeah, yeah, Joe Kenda Homicide Hunter is probably the best
show that I've watched since the twilight Zone. Wow, it's
so good. It's so good. But they're not new, so
I don't talk about it that much. Okay, next one topic,
Number two Christmas gifts. I consider gift giving my love language.
I spend a lot of time each year perfectly crafting
my gifts. I purchase similar to Jenny. I keep an
(11:50):
idea of a list of ideas on my phone, but
there are always those hard to buy for people. Here
are some of my go to's. Neighbors or coworkers. Drool
and Moose chocolate. It's they're delicious and everybody loves them.
Fifteen dollars. Teachers or bus drivers, gift cards to local restaurants,
Target coffee, et cetera. Good sporty persons. Rechargeable electronic ball pump.
(12:14):
We use ours all the time. Wow a rechargeable electronic
ball pump. I mentioned this on my radar a couple
of weeks ago. Was the Sharper Image tire pump that
you keep in your car. Plugs into your charger and
you can charge. It comes with a battery and you
can charge up your flat or you can pump up
(12:34):
your flat tires.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
I have one.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
I got one for Susan the other day, and they're dope.
They pump up pretty slowly because they're tiny little pumps inside,
but they work and they're much better than you know,
trying to find a tire pump or a gas station
with a working tire pump.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
I know that's always just I swear my tires. I
think I have a leak in one of them, if
not two of them, So I am constantly putting air
into my tires. It's so annoying.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Well, especially this time of the year because everything freezes
and it's like, oh, your tires are low. Topic number three,
Jenny and Vonn had asked for some general ideas for
Christmas gifts, especially experiences. Here we are, I'm a woman
in my thirties with a family consumables. Buy me laundry, detergent,
toilet paper, paper towels, dish soap, sponges, toothbrushes, toothpaste, zip
block bags, trash bags, et cetera. Not only things I
(13:22):
will for sure use, but things that I would have
to buy costco Sam's Club membership subscriptions. My son likes
to have an annual membership of a music app. I've
gotten craft monthly boxes, etc. That's kind of cool, that's fun.
I got Allison some sort of subscription of some sort
of craft or something, and she really loved it. A
few years ago gift cards. I know people don't like
(13:45):
the answer, but again, a Grace restaurant, great restaurant. I
don't need to cook. Deal a Target gift card to
reduce my pocket expenses. Love it a meat thermometer. I
use mine all the time, but I tried to replace
the battery and it doesn't work anymore. Do you own
a meat thermometer anyone?
Speaker 3 (14:03):
I got one thinking I would use it all the
time because I didn't think I was cooking chicken. Right,
I've never used it once. I just fucking realized what
my heart says.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Well, there's two kinds. There's the analog, which is like
it's got a dial on it and you stab it
in and you don't need a battery. Then there's the
electronic one where it reads digitally. I've got both bag
clips chip clips. I can never find any in my house.
Speaker 4 (14:26):
Oh, I have so many.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Next one topic number four. Here are a few gifts
I've gotten in the last few years that I have loved.
A tennecove vacuum that vacuums and mops at the same time.
This thing is the Bee's Knees perfect. You're somebody with
hardwood flooring at home and works great to pick up
shedding dog fur and it doesn't leave your floor soaked.
That is the Tennaco Ti n Eco vacuum consumables. Reference
(14:51):
the list above. Nice pots and pans set and a
three and one charging cord, iPhone air pods out watch
just one chord.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
Those are useful.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
I hope you have a wonderful holiday. If I don't
write in before, then thank you. Page All right, here's
another one with gift ideas. Let's see here. This is
from Aaron. I was listening to the show. I heard
the call for gift ideas from Jenny and Vont and
I wanted to give a couple of suggestions. Jenny, I'm
(15:24):
a lot like you, and that I keep actual notes
or mental and notes of things people mention blah blah blah.
When I need ideas, I go over to BuzzFeed and
browse their shopping guides. They compile a great list for men, women, teens, kids,
and their lists are also frequently based on price points.
Jenny also mentioned she loves Patina and that story is
so fun. What is Patina not familiar?
Speaker 3 (15:46):
Patina is like a boutique little store. There's multiple locations
around the cities and I'm pretty sure it's just local
to the Twin Cities, but it basically has like the
most it's just very gifty, like you could find fun
mugs or really cute candles or like decor. But it's
more than just that. It's like the coolest ornaments. I mean,
I literally just spent an hour there on Sunday with
(16:07):
the person I'm seeing, and he found a presence for
like five of his nieces and nephews while we were there.
So it's just the most random shit, Like I don't
even know how to describe it. Like He've got this
huge pickle that's like a squishy pickle thing for one
of his nephews. That's the size. It's like a foot
and a half long. Like it's so like it's a
lot of stupid ship. Yeah, there's like funny stuff, you know.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
I love stores like that. I've never been to Patina,
but apparently there's one in the shops at Arbor Lakes.
If you're looking for a fun and unique experience, highly
recommend all Factory Sense Studio in Maple Grow as well.
You can create your very own candles, selecting from dozens
of cents. It's made on site and usually you can
stop buying pick it up after a few hours, enough
time for more shopping and a bite to eat. Hopefully
(16:51):
these ideas are helpful. Merry Christmas Day, Bailey, Jenny, and
vont Thank you. Aaron appreciate that, and I may have
time for one more. Kyle writes in I've been listening
to Minnesota Goodbye and that noticed that before the actual
content starts, I'm subjected to three, yes, three minutes of ads,
(17:12):
plus additional ads right in the middle of the podcast. Sometimes.
I know you guys have no control over the podcast ads,
but seriously, iHeart, what the actual fuck. I think a
little posse of Juanita Harrison Smith from the Vikings and Jenny,
because she's strong like Paul Bunyan, could march to HQ
and start wrecking shit till iHeart reduces the amount of
podcast ads. That'd be a good bit. Yes, I know
(17:34):
ads are essential because of money, stuff and all that,
but seriously, this shit pisses me the fuck off. Shout
out again to Juanita, thank you friends, and stay warm
from Kyle. You know what's funny is I was listening
to an iHeart station last night in Detroit and because
I just want to see what they were doing, and
you know, see if I pick up any tips or whatever.
We don't steal bits from anybody, but I wanted to
see how they did certain things. And I listened to
(17:57):
their podcast, same thing, three minutes of ads before their
podcast started. And I know people have complained about our
podcast in the past, like we'll just be talking, yeah,
and it'll interrupt us and play an ad. No structure,
no sense to it at all. And I heard the
same thing on this station in Detroit.
Speaker 4 (18:14):
Oh well, dang.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
So I think that as much as they push the
iHeartRadio app, there's still I don't know, somebody who's trying
to figure out the bugs or what. Can you, by
any chance to wrap up, Jenny, you talked about the
guy you're seeing. Can you tell the story about the
swingers club or no?
Speaker 2 (18:34):
If no, that's.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
Fine, I mean I think it'll be fine. Basically the
person I'm seeing. And I don't know when this happened
because this is a long time ago, but someone in
his neighborhood was a swinger and he was a single
man and a couple, you know, they were at swingers
parties whatever. Hit it off with one of the women
(18:55):
and him and that woman had like a relationship outside
of the swingers parties, while that woman's husband was not
okay with that. And this is a fucked up story.
He went and shot the guy, the single guy, and
then he went home and killed his wife and himself
(19:15):
for all of it. So it's it was a very
messy story.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
Wow, there is a story.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
There was a kid that was in my weblow's den
when I was a kid, and his name was Alan,
And I remember Alan from being a kid, but not
really well, but I remember him and I ran into
him in the bar in Black Forest, Colorado, because whenever
I go to that bar, I almost always see somebody
that I knew from when I grew up there. And
(19:46):
this guy, Alan was caught in bed with another man's
wife and he got shot and he died. So you
know what a terrible way. You know, you think you're
having a great time, you're doing your thing. You're like yeah, yeah, yeah,
get it girl, Get it girl, and then all of
a sudden it's like, oh boom.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
Terrible way to go.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
But at least it's like in the same sense, maybe
a little fun, you know, like you're sending to be
murdered like, might as well be while you're having sex.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Well, right, you could say you're coming and going at
the same time.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
Thank you, that's my time. That's my time. Thank you podcast,
that's my time. That's my time. Make sure you tip
your servers, have a good night. Thanks for coming to
the comedy club. Appreciate it. Okay, we'll wrap it up
right there. Yeah, that's the Minnesota Goodbye. Sending emails. Please
send emails. And by the way, if you haven't donated
(20:39):
a Christmas wish, we can always use more. So please
donate to wish the Wait KDIWB dot com slash wish.
We appreciate that, or send an email to Ryan Show
at KDIWB dot com to get on the next Minnesota Goodbye.
Minnesota Goodbye. Thank you very much for listening to this podcast,
whether you're brand new, whether you've been listening to the
entire thing. Some people have binged every episode or like
have listened through like seven or eight years of the
Minnesota Goodbye, and maybe they discovered it a year or
so they went back and listened, like on a road
trip and binged episodes of the Minnesota Goodbye.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Thank You. Here is to start off.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Mary Alice writes in we're talking about spoiling the idea.
And by the way, if you have a child in
the car or with you, this is not adult, it's
not dirty, but it is something you do not want
your young child to hear, because we're going to talk

(01:29):
It really made me love Christmas, but in a different way.
That's my two cents have a great day.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
I like that. I do too, I really do too.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
It's like, okay, Santa is what she say that it
wasn't a real person, but she still believes in the
Santa in Santa because he is the magic of Christmas.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
I remember when I found out. It was like someone
was in line, like in a class in third grade,

then as a child does, I was snooping and I

when I woke up in the morning and there they were.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
I was like, oh, exactly, you just kind of like
put two and two together. I don't feel like I
need anyone to tell me that Santa does not exist.
I just you find it out and then you decide
whether or not you want to be a buzzkill for
everybody else. And then if you're a real kid, definitely
wasn't going around telling me what. No, You're just like, oh,
(02:29):
that makes sense. But I still like Christmas, and I
do believe that Santa is the spirit of Christmas.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Santa was in the They did a Santa parade through
our neighborhood on Sunday night, and they had Santa and
sitting on top of a truck, and they had a
fire truck, and they had a bunch of kids and
some floats the neighborhood to kids to put together, neighborhood
to put together, and kids would run along and collect
your bag of donated groceries and food and that type
of thing, and and Santa was of course the last
(02:57):
entry in the float. I believe in the parade, and
even knowing that it's a neighborhood dad, it was still cool.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
It's like, oh, they're Santa and we don't.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Have any kids anymore, but there's still all there's Santa
and you wave and he was playing it.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Up, Oh Christmas.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
And it's like, even though you know it's not the
real Santa, there's still some magic there.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
And I feel like the magic is that there's here's
this like older gentleman who's dressed up as this like
Christmas character and bringing joy to everybody. That is Christmas
to me, and I feel like that's so sweet. I
like the dudes who dress up as Santa like all
year long, like they'll be like summertime wearing like a
kind of Christmas Eve like short shirt with little suspenders
(03:43):
with a giant white beard. Because then kids are like,
oh my gosh, what Sanna, and he'll go like he weed.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
I love that.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
We used to have a tradition Carson and I would
go snowboarding at Highland every Christmas Eve and it lasted
probably five or eight years something like that. And one
year Santa was there and Santa was up skiing and
snowboarding and everybody including us, had to go get a
picture with Santa.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Carson was like bad dum da dad bah, and.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
I'm like no, We're gonna go get our picture with Santa,
and Santa loved it. He was very gracious because you know,
he knew he's Santa. You got to pose for pictures.
So yeah, there's definitely some magic to Santa, even when
you know the truth right. Next one is from Dana
data Wright. Santa was so bummed to miss the live
Minnesota Goodbye since it was a huge success. I was
(04:31):
hoping a live show could become a holiday tradition for Christmas.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Wish.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Oh, absolutely, Hopefully I can make it to the next one.
I did make a donation and watched YouTube live. It
looked like so much fun. Just like everyone, I love
wan Nita. When shit pisses me the fuck off, I
think of her, what would she say or do? For example,
I was at Target and tons of people drag their
feet across the floor, making a swishing sound on the floor.
(04:57):
It makes me want to stab myself in the fucking ear.
Pick up your fucking feet and walk like a normal person.
Shout out, Juanita Dave, my bobblehead of you is in
the Christmas spirit? Is my bobblehead of you is in
the Christmas spirit? In my kitchen? Oh there I am
Dave Ryan bobblehead with a Santa hat on next to
her elf on the shelf, next to a penguin Santa mug.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Don't move your computer at my fuck something, it will
fund up.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
But yeah, it's she's got a little shelf in her
corner of her kitchen and with a Santa candle, a
little mug of wine, and then a bottle of wine
that I am honored to be in the Santa corner,
the Christmas corner of your kitchen. Jenny, by the way, Yeah,
speaking of things that pishy the fuck off. I found
this the other day, but I think I forgot to
(05:46):
send it to you. It is a meme that says
study shows that people irritated by chewing by chewing sounds
tend to have a higher IQ. So, Jenny, very irritated
by chewing sound, you may have a higher IQ.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
I mean, I was a four point er student, but
it was because I studied a lot. I don't necessarily know.
It was just because I was like naturally intelligent. If
we retain any of that, absolutely fucking not.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
But mean as well, I'm like, well I could take
a test really well because I could cram.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
I know, that it's called like miss aphonia or something
and is an actual disorder. And I know that meat
Sauce on the Hall has it too, and everyone thinks
that meat Sauce is dumb, and he's actually extremely intelligent,
like because he plays.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
The dope, it's very hard meat saush.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Kfan, but he really is actually quite smart. So maybe
we're just out here being all smart and stuff but
hating the way people eat.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Shut up.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
I drove Susan crazy. We were doing a road trip
over Thanksgiving. And when you stop at a gas station,
what do you get snacks? What snack is very popular
at peanuts? Cornuts bingo. Corn nuts are the motherfucking loudest
food ever. So I'd eat them in the car and
(07:02):
she'd be like, how many more of them are you
going to have? And I'd be like what, ah, the chewing,
and then there were leftover. So I'm in the hotel
room or somewhere. Carrunch, carrunch, carrunch, Oh my god, can
you not do that? Of course as a spouse, Yeah,
what is your response?
Speaker 4 (07:19):
You're gonna do it louder and more.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Then go again daily, Absolutely right, So all right? Next
one from thang Lee Rights in morning show. Seems like
this year there's not as many donations for Christmas Wish
based on what the show has been saying and doing.
I've been listening for many years now, and I think
almost every year there would be a day where a
company would match listener's donations up to a certain amount.
For some reason, I keep thinking the matching donation today
(07:42):
was always after Christmas Wishes had started. Is there a
reason this match Day doesn't start earlier? This way there'd
be more funds for wishes from the beginning. Also, just
wondering what's range for a year with the most money
donated versus the least. Oh, I don't know. Any other
insight would be interesting. Thank you, thank for asking. We
did start. We actually made a mistake and we should
(08:04):
have started match Day last week, but we got a
little bit confused. And so it is going on. By
the time you hear this, it'll be over, probably, But
it was Tuesday morning from six until ten, and it's
Treasure Island.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
So and I will say that I know that person
said that it seems like we're behind on donations, but
I know so many people who wait until we do
Match Day to donate. Because my Mom had been texting
me last week. She's like, I've been waiting for match
day to donate, and I was like, yeah, we're doing
it Tuesday whatever. So I think people like really value
the match day so much and then we after today,
I think we will be doing pretty good with donations,
(08:41):
but we still have like twelve Christmas wishes to do,
so if you were thinking about donating, obviously, any amount
of money helps us out.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Okay, now this one, I may have read part of
it because it is a three parter topic email, So
if I read part of it, then I will just
let me know if I did, and we'll skip it. Okay,
here we go topic number one. I've noticed recently there's
been more of a push regarding non AI radio. I
think I heard Dave mention in a handful of times
(09:11):
over the past few weeks that iHeart doesn't have AI
radio DJs? Is that something other radio stations or companies
are using. Should we be worried that KWDB may switch?
KTBDB has been a part of my life for better
than twenty five years. I started listening in elementary school
and now look forward to beinging the podcast. I can't
imagine listening to AI instead of the lovely morning show crew.
(09:33):
You guys are local and relatable. I think that probably
some radio stations are using AI, but people hate it,
hate it, and the company has basically banned everything AI.
There were some that were like not DJ's but it
was like, you're listening to kd WB, the Twin Cities
(09:56):
number one hit music station. That would be done not
on our station, but for example, just one of those
simple things by AI. We don't do any of that.
And we used to have a song generator that would
create AI generated songs. We're not even allowed to do
that anymore. Yeah, after I paid one hundred and thirty
dollars to subscribe.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
To the service, you.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
Want to subscribe from that or this is going to
be you're new whatever that you were subscribed to for years?
Speaker 2 (10:20):
What was it called thing or whatever? What was that called?
Oh god, well job, jip job.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
Yeah, you need to subscribe, now, make it, write it down.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
No I did.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
I already unsubscribed. Immediately, we're canceling subscriptions. I was a
member of a gun range club where you go in
and you get like priority reservations and free targets and
things like that, and it comes up on the credit card.
Susan's like, why are you a member of this gun club?
Speaker 2 (10:45):
You never go? And I said, you're right, so we
called and we canceled it.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
Yeahow.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
And there's other things like I have a big elliptical
at home. It's called an I Fit, And when you
buy an I Fit, you get like the first three
years of their subscription four it's included. But now the
if it's like upgrade to I Fit Pro for only
three hundred dollars, A fuck you. No, I'm not gonna
do it. I don't need to. I track all my
(11:10):
workouts on my Apple Watch. Yeah, and it will do
like a peloton workout, like you'll go through the streets
of Greece or you know, around the Eiffel Tower or whatever.
I don't I watch TV. I don't do those workouts.
I watch Joe Kenda Homicide Hunter. You guys ever watch
that show?
Speaker 2 (11:26):
No? No, that's a kind of thing.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Yeah, yeah, Joe Kenda Homicide Hunter is probably the best
show that I've watched since the twilight Zone. Wow, it's
so good. It's so good. But they're not new, so
I don't talk about it that much. Okay, next one topic,
Number two Christmas gifts. I consider gift giving my love language.
I spend a lot of time each year perfectly crafting
my gifts. I purchase similar to Jenny. I keep an
(11:50):
idea of a list of ideas on my phone, but
there are always those hard to buy for people. Here
are some of my go to's. Neighbors or coworkers. Drool
and Moose chocolate. It's they're delicious and everybody loves them.
Fifteen dollars. Teachers or bus drivers, gift cards to local restaurants,
Target coffee, et cetera. Good sporty persons. Rechargeable electronic ball pump.
(12:14):
We use ours all the time. Wow a rechargeable electronic
ball pump. I mentioned this on my radar a couple
of weeks ago. Was the Sharper Image tire pump that
you keep in your car. Plugs into your charger and
you can charge. It comes with a battery and you
can charge up your flat or you can pump up
(12:34):
your flat tires.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
I have one.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
I got one for Susan the other day, and they're dope.
They pump up pretty slowly because they're tiny little pumps inside,
but they work and they're much better than you know,
trying to find a tire pump or a gas station
with a working tire pump.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
I know that's always just I swear my tires. I
think I have a leak in one of them, if
not two of them, So I am constantly putting air
into my tires. It's so annoying.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Well, especially this time of the year because everything freezes
and it's like, oh, your tires are low. Topic number three,
Jenny and Vonn had asked for some general ideas for
Christmas gifts, especially experiences. Here we are, I'm a woman
in my thirties with a family consumables. Buy me laundry, detergent,
toilet paper, paper towels, dish soap, sponges, toothbrushes, toothpaste, zip
block bags, trash bags, et cetera. Not only things I
(13:22):
will for sure use, but things that I would have
to buy costco Sam's Club membership subscriptions. My son likes
to have an annual membership of a music app. I've
gotten craft monthly boxes, etc. That's kind of cool, that's fun.
I got Allison some sort of subscription of some sort
of craft or something, and she really loved it. A
few years ago gift cards. I know people don't like
(13:45):
the answer, but again, a Grace restaurant, great restaurant. I
don't need to cook. Deal a Target gift card to
reduce my pocket expenses. Love it a meat thermometer. I
use mine all the time, but I tried to replace
the battery and it doesn't work anymore. Do you own
a meat thermometer anyone?
Speaker 3 (14:03):
I got one thinking I would use it all the
time because I didn't think I was cooking chicken. Right,
I've never used it once. I just fucking realized what
my heart says.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Well, there's two kinds. There's the analog, which is like
it's got a dial on it and you stab it
in and you don't need a battery. Then there's the
electronic one where it reads digitally. I've got both bag
clips chip clips. I can never find any in my house.
Speaker 4 (14:26):
Oh, I have so many.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Next one topic number four. Here are a few gifts
I've gotten in the last few years that I have loved.
A tennecove vacuum that vacuums and mops at the same time.
This thing is the Bee's Knees perfect. You're somebody with
hardwood flooring at home and works great to pick up
shedding dog fur and it doesn't leave your floor soaked.
That is the Tennaco Ti n Eco vacuum consumables. Reference
(14:51):
the list above. Nice pots and pans set and a
three and one charging cord, iPhone air pods out watch
just one chord.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
Those are useful.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
I hope you have a wonderful holiday. If I don't
write in before, then thank you. Page All right, here's
another one with gift ideas. Let's see here. This is
from Aaron. I was listening to the show. I heard
the call for gift ideas from Jenny and Vont and
I wanted to give a couple of suggestions. Jenny, I'm
(15:24):
a lot like you, and that I keep actual notes
or mental and notes of things people mention blah blah blah.
When I need ideas, I go over to BuzzFeed and
browse their shopping guides. They compile a great list for men, women, teens, kids,
and their lists are also frequently based on price points.
Jenny also mentioned she loves Patina and that story is
so fun. What is Patina not familiar?
Speaker 3 (15:46):
Patina is like a boutique little store. There's multiple locations
around the cities and I'm pretty sure it's just local
to the Twin Cities, but it basically has like the
most it's just very gifty, like you could find fun
mugs or really cute candles or like decor. But it's
more than just that. It's like the coolest ornaments. I mean,
I literally just spent an hour there on Sunday with
(16:07):
the person I'm seeing, and he found a presence for
like five of his nieces and nephews while we were there.
So it's just the most random shit, Like I don't
even know how to describe it. Like He've got this
huge pickle that's like a squishy pickle thing for one
of his nephews. That's the size. It's like a foot
and a half long. Like it's so like it's a
lot of stupid ship. Yeah, there's like funny stuff, you know.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
I love stores like that. I've never been to Patina,
but apparently there's one in the shops at Arbor Lakes.
If you're looking for a fun and unique experience, highly
recommend all Factory Sense Studio in Maple Grow as well.
You can create your very own candles, selecting from dozens
of cents. It's made on site and usually you can
stop buying pick it up after a few hours, enough
time for more shopping and a bite to eat. Hopefully
(16:51):
these ideas are helpful. Merry Christmas Day, Bailey, Jenny, and
vont Thank you. Aaron appreciate that, and I may have
time for one more. Kyle writes in I've been listening
to Minnesota Goodbye and that noticed that before the actual
content starts, I'm subjected to three, yes, three minutes of ads,
(17:12):
plus additional ads right in the middle of the podcast. Sometimes.
I know you guys have no control over the podcast ads,
but seriously, iHeart, what the actual fuck. I think a
little posse of Juanita Harrison Smith from the Vikings and Jenny,
because she's strong like Paul Bunyan, could march to HQ
and start wrecking shit till iHeart reduces the amount of
podcast ads. That'd be a good bit. Yes, I know
(17:34):
ads are essential because of money, stuff and all that,
but seriously, this shit pisses me the fuck off. Shout
out again to Juanita, thank you friends, and stay warm
from Kyle. You know what's funny is I was listening
to an iHeart station last night in Detroit and because
I just want to see what they were doing, and
you know, see if I pick up any tips or whatever.
We don't steal bits from anybody, but I wanted to
see how they did certain things. And I listened to
(17:57):
their podcast, same thing, three minutes of ads before their
podcast started. And I know people have complained about our
podcast in the past, like we'll just be talking, yeah,
and it'll interrupt us and play an ad. No structure,
no sense to it at all. And I heard the
same thing on this station in Detroit.
Speaker 4 (18:14):
Oh well, dang.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
So I think that as much as they push the
iHeartRadio app, there's still I don't know, somebody who's trying
to figure out the bugs or what. Can you, by
any chance to wrap up, Jenny, you talked about the
guy you're seeing. Can you tell the story about the
swingers club or no?
Speaker 2 (18:34):
If no, that's.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
Fine, I mean I think it'll be fine. Basically the
person I'm seeing. And I don't know when this happened
because this is a long time ago, but someone in
his neighborhood was a swinger and he was a single
man and a couple, you know, they were at swingers
parties whatever. Hit it off with one of the women
(18:55):
and him and that woman had like a relationship outside
of the swingers parties, while that woman's husband was not
okay with that. And this is a fucked up story.
He went and shot the guy, the single guy, and
then he went home and killed his wife and himself
(19:15):
for all of it. So it's it was a very
messy story.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
Wow, there is a story.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
There was a kid that was in my weblow's den
when I was a kid, and his name was Alan,
And I remember Alan from being a kid, but not
really well, but I remember him and I ran into
him in the bar in Black Forest, Colorado, because whenever
I go to that bar, I almost always see somebody
that I knew from when I grew up there. And
(19:46):
this guy, Alan was caught in bed with another man's
wife and he got shot and he died. So you
know what a terrible way. You know, you think you're
having a great time, you're doing your thing. You're like yeah, yeah, yeah,
get it girl, Get it girl, and then all of
a sudden it's like, oh boom.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
Terrible way to go.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
But at least it's like in the same sense, maybe
a little fun, you know, like you're sending to be
murdered like, might as well be while you're having sex.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Well, right, you could say you're coming and going at
the same time.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
Thank you, that's my time. That's my time. Thank you podcast,
that's my time. That's my time. Make sure you tip
your servers, have a good night. Thanks for coming to
the comedy club. Appreciate it. Okay, we'll wrap it up
right there. Yeah, that's the Minnesota Goodbye. Sending emails. Please
send emails. And by the way, if you haven't donated
(20:39):
a Christmas wish, we can always use more. So please
donate to wish the Wait KDIWB dot com slash wish.
We appreciate that, or send an email to Ryan Show
at KDIWB dot com to get on the next Minnesota Goodbye.
