Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to another episode of the Minnesota good Bye. We're
gonna start off with a rent weekly rent from our
friend juan Nita. It's always fun to see what is
on her mind and how many times she says fuck
and that shit pisses me the fuck off. So let's
get started. Here we go and eat a Hey.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Y'all, this week's rent is about people who take advantage
when you tell them that you're gonna pay.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
Here we go.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
So over the holiday, my relatives family came up and
these are the.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Ones that called me bougie before. So we go out.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
We take them downtown and my husband decided that he
wanted to get a state from a restaurant, which we
normally don't do. So we went to this place on
Hindebin Avenue. I think it was called Butcher's Tail. I
think that's the name of it.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Okay, we walked in.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
It didn't even look like we belonged in there, but
you know, I had to get my bougie on. So
we just went and had a seat and they gave
us our menu. So we're looking at the now my
cousin looks at the menu. Mind you, we said we're
gonna pay for it, we're gonna pay for their stuff.
So she goes, I think I'm gonna have the Waygo. Dude,
(01:11):
I said, does this look like a place that sells
fucking ragu? She goes, No, not Raga, make the waygu Ribbi.
I'm like, what the hell are you talking about? So
I'm looking at the menu and sure, shit, there's something
called waygu Ribbi for a sixteen ounce pizza steak for
one hundred and thirty dollars. I said, bitch, you don't
(01:32):
know anything about no damn Waygo. The only reason you
said that is because the fact that we said we're
gonna pay for it. So now you want to pick
the most expensive thing on the menu to buy.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
You don't.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
You're from the South side of Chicago. You don't know
shit about no damn wagu. I never even heard of that. Hell,
when we go eat at your house, you give us
a dry ass pizza round steak from Walmart and some
great value fries on a paper plate.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Now, all of a sudden, you want Waygo because we.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Said we're gonna play bitch Waygo.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
Fuck you.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
That's my right.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Fend I love you guys.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Bye.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
You forgot to say that shit pisses me the fuck off.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
Nah, I like that. I liked her little line there.
That's so funny. That is.
Speaker 5 (02:09):
I man, if you say you're paying for something, someone
immediately goes to the most expensive item on the menu, asshole.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Move yes, I'm so I would never I did. Then
I get the chicken breast. It's like, oh, I'll have
the salmon.
Speaker 5 (02:24):
Maybe not the cheapest cheapest thing, but like one of
the cheaper items on the menu.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
If someone said they were pain that's just crazy.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
A quick story I've told it before. We were in
Las Vegas and it was my brother in law's big birthday,
like fiftieth birthday. So we go to like a Japanese
steakhouse and we ordered I think it was Wagu Wagu
Bee for whatever. Yeah, and we're like, well, I mean
that's that's good stuff, right, how much is it? And
the woman, the waiter server had a very thick Japanese accent,
(02:52):
and so she told us seventy five dollars. Okay, well
that's expensive, but seventy five bucks. Let's live it up. Yeah,
we get the bill it was two hundred seventy five dollars.
Speaker 6 (03:02):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Because we couldn't understand her accent, not her fault. But
we couldn't understand that she threw a two seventy five,
two to seventy five, And so we we went back
the next morning. We said, look, we didn't want to
make a fuss when we were paying the bills. We
go back the next morning when they opened up, they
did not give a shit. They said, oh sorry, I mean,
can you give us something? You know what they gave us,
(03:25):
like a dessert. They gave us a dessert in a
clear clamshell little box at eleven o'clock in the morning.
That was it.
Speaker 6 (03:32):
So be careful what it's left over from last year?
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Absolutely all right? Next one, Jennifer writes in she shares,
I'm coming to Minnesota this weekend from Nashville to celebrate
my grandpa's one hundred birthday, and I wanted to reach out.
I actually grew up in Minnesota. Been listening to Dave
since the early nineties. One of my favorite memories back
in twenty ten, I was very pregnant at the state fair.
(03:56):
Dave stopped and said, when are you do which I
would never do now because they could have, like, you know,
a tuma. You never noticed a Tuma at the time,
my husband was in the Army. We're being relocated to
d C. Not longer after I was that, I was
pushing that baby and a stroller on a walk through
the streets a Fairfax, Virginia when I found the Dave
Ryan Show again on iHeartRadio, and I was drawn to
(04:17):
the tagline. Now with nearly seven listeners, a lot of
people found us because they thought that's funny, that's a
good bit. Yeah, and I've been listening ever since. Our
life has brought us all over the country. Fast forward
to last week or this week. My kids fourteen, thirteen, twelve, ten,
and seven and I just got back from a road
trip to South Florida and katiewb was our exclusive listening choice,
(04:40):
basically the only thing we can all agree on. They
think it would be super fun to stop by and
meet you all if it's possible. Totally understand blah blah blah. No,
we can totally do that. Well, I will write you
back and let you know. That's from Jenny. Psive and
debating emailing you all for the last week and yesterday
felt like fate. I was returning something to my low
old Navy when the manager bass for my phone number
(05:04):
to look up the receipt. The six five to one
area code prompted her to say where are you from?
And it turns out she's also from Minnesota and still
listens to your show.
Speaker 6 (05:14):
Tell your friends.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
She brought it up. It felt like a sign. I
love it so much when people move out of state
and still listen to Katie.
Speaker 6 (05:21):
W Yeah, that's awesome. Visitors.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Stall for me right for a second, and I will
write her back.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Okay, okay, Jenny, Yeah, baby, you look really pretty today.
Speaker 6 (05:31):
I really like your jeans.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
They look like you are in the movie The Sandlot,
beloved film from the nineties. Yeah, where the all the
little boys have the little baseball team.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
Yeah, that's kind of the vibe they are.
Speaker 5 (05:42):
They're a little bit more like boyish looking in the
female drivenge.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
I like them.
Speaker 5 (05:48):
Yeah, so that's the you know. I was a little
bloated when I woke up this morning, so I was like,
and we're going to go into MAFETI.
Speaker 6 (05:54):
They look nice. They look nice.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
I like the lovely dress.
Speaker 6 (05:57):
I'm getting my haircut today.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
Really yeah, like a lot. No, Dave's like, I'm bored
with the No.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
I appreciate you talling. No, I had to write her back,
because I don't write her back now I will forget right.
Next one is from our buddy Nate, subject line foods
we miss Hello, Dave, Jenny Bailey, and Vaughan, who's probably
busy doing something in the other studio. Yes, I already
have a staff writer sticker, and I've listened to every
episode of The Minnesota Goodbye since it started. I don't
often write in. However, when I was listening to an
(06:25):
episode from last week, the topic of foods we missed
that are not available anymore came up. I knew I
had to write in twelve years ago or so my
wife Alyssa, who, by the way, she's hot, because I
know Nate his wife is hot. Yep, his hot wife.
We were introduced to beer chips by a friend of mine.
I'm not an avid beer drinker, so I wasn't sure
i'd like them, But basically, they're kettle chips with a
(06:46):
delectable sweet and salty coating that's essentially an addictive drug.
I don't know if it was MSG or narcotic sprinkled
on there, but they were heaven in chip form. Here's
a picture of twenty twenty three of us shopping at
Costco when they had them fully stopped, and there is
hot wife Melissa being all excited in front of the
beer chip a display. I never heard of them before.
(07:09):
According to shunbeer dot com, they disappeared in about twenty fourteen.
They were made by Kalin Family Brands, a small Minnesota
based company that owns a variety of foods such as
Wiley Wallaby liquor Ish, Oh.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
Yeah, that stuffs good, It's good.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Okay, and nutris Source pet Food. Unfortunately, they felt like
the demand wasn't strong enough to justify the cost, investing
more than ten million in R and D and advertising.
We still long for that delicious combination of sweet and
salty in our chips, and despite owning the rights to
produce them in twenty twenty thirty, they will not return
to shelves anytime soon. Well, that's too bad, because you
(07:45):
found something you really like. Remember about five years ago
we all discovered dots pretzels.
Speaker 5 (07:50):
Oh it has it only been five years?
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Many longer ago.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
I had a friend who like when those came out,
she got them so much and she gained so much
weight because she's like.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
It's just butter like straight like, but they're so good.
We so Tina that used to work on the show.
She has a bachelor party coming up, and then send
out a questionnaire of things like what do you like
to drink?
Speaker 4 (08:11):
And what do you like to snack on? And immediately
my head's a dots. Puzzles.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
They're so good. I mean, there's so much better than
like a rolled gold or whatever. Nate goes on to say,
wrap it up with thanks for always providing the bright
spot on my day and forgiving Dave shit to keep
him humble. Back in my wordle connections and strands puzzles. Well,
back to my wordle connections and strands puzzles. Have a
great day, Nate. We trade puzzle results every morning.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
Do you guys still do that? I love that for you.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
We do. And usually, you know, neither of us are spectacular,
but sometimes we'll get it into or we'll you know whatever,
and then we brag a little bit or we make fun.
He called me stupid today, Well, well you are. I
didn't get wordle today because it was it was difficult
and tricky, and he did not get connections today because
(08:58):
connections was also diff called in tricky.
Speaker 6 (09:01):
So I'm gonna try and do the word all then okay.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Well, can you maybe not do it right now?
Speaker 6 (09:05):
You just emailed back, I'm multitasking here.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
You're not gonna do wordle in the middle of the
Minnesota goodboda.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
Here's the word that you start with.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Rays r ai s E and no, I don't get anything.
I do mouth m out h because it contains some
good solid consonants and all of the vowels rays mouth smart.
I'm going to tell you a little secret, and Nate
knows this. If I get to the end and I'm
not getting it, I will guess pussy.
Speaker 4 (09:32):
Yeah, you've said that, just.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Until it gives me the answer. So if I'm three
or four guesses in and I'm nowhere close, I'll guess
pussy three times until it finally says. The word is lilac.
It's whatever.
Speaker 5 (09:44):
You already know that it doesn't contain an S, but
you're like, fuck it, pussy, Oh.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Absolutely, yeah, yeah, all right. Nixt one, and Kristen writes
in kind of regularly, thank you. Is there a terribly
bad movie that you just love? Mine would be the
nineteen ninety three Super Mario Brothers Live action movie. It
is my childhood, so I always have big feelings of
nostalgen No matter how much people make fun of it
or hate it, it will always have a spot in
(10:09):
my heart. Honestly, nothing comes to mind. Napoleon Dynamite is
actually a good movie. Some people don't get it and
they think it's really stupid. Other than that, I can't
think of one that's stupid that I like.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
I like, Go ahead, Jenny, I was gonna say.
Speaker 5 (10:25):
I think one that I like a lot, but a
lot of people probably haven't even seen is Burlesque, which
stars Christina Aguilera. Oh yeah, and I love it. She's
so hot in it. Everyone's super hot in it because
they're burlesque girls. And I just love it. And it's
such a classic story of like there's a love and
then things go wrong because she wants to be famous
or whatever it is.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
I don't even know, but it's such a good movie.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
I always liked like really bad chick flicks from like
the early two thousands, like Chasing Liberty and License to Wed,
and they're all like pretty bad in general.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
That's funny.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
I loved those movies so much, and that's all I
used to watch is just bad chick flicks from the
early two thousands.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
I was saying an answer, I know what will happen.
It'll be on the way home. I'll be like, oh,
I should have said this. Kristin, thanks for writing and
we always appreciate that.
Speaker 4 (11:11):
One Norma of the North.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Norma the North was probably the single worst movie I've
ever seen. And I know you're giving me a hard time.
I took my grandkids, I don't know, they were probably
eight and four, and I took them when it was new,
and Norma of the North was so bad. And that's
why you never hear anything about it. That even the
kids in the theater were like, you know, like sitting
backwards on the seat looking at the people behind them.
(11:35):
It was awful. Another really bad one was tomorrow Land.
Speaker 6 (11:38):
Which was George Clooney.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
It seemed like it would be good, yeah, but it was.
It was not good. No Hello, says Caitlin. I used
to work at Costco and I was told the difference
between Costco and Sam's Clubs. Costco will make a choice
on a product for you, and Sam's Club will give
you options. For example, Costco might have one brand Cottage
cheese that they think is the best option, and Sam's
(12:01):
would offer three, so you can make a choice. Sam's
Club offers scan and go, which I think is worth
switching to Sam's Club personally. No more standing in long
lines to check out. They also have these arches that
you walk through past checkout that scans your item in
your cart against recent receipts to match them up. No
more standing in line to check receipts at the door.
It really comes down to what you want. There essentially
(12:23):
the same thing with similar products. It's Costco and Sam's
carries a brand of something you prefer in the other.
It's not choose that one. Love the show. I have
only been in Costco maybe two or three times. Susan
loves Costco. She'll come home with a palette of Gatorade, yes,
or a palette of you know whatever. And I've been
in Sam's Club a couple of times and it's I
(12:44):
like it because it seems less chaotic, bustly busy, but
not like just people scrambling on a Black Friday.
Speaker 6 (12:52):
Yeah it is.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
I mean it's really hectic in Costco. But I a
love Costco. I go there all the time.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
I do love so I don't think I've ever been
in a Sam Clubs. I haven't speak on that.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
It honestly, samscub looks just like Costco. It's like almost
exactly the same, except I don't think you can. There's
not like a little restaurant like there is in Costco.
But you know what here speaking of Costco, this is
a side note on Costco. They said forever ago that
they were switching the sodas oh yeah, to coke Coke.
Speaker 6 (13:17):
They did not. It is still PEPSI.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
Oh really, I thought it was like coming in a month.
Speaker 6 (13:22):
Well I want.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
It now, Okay. Continuing on and the Minnesota Goodbye. This
one email says hello. So, like many writers listening to
Ryan Seacrest, it's hard to listen. So I'm usually trying
to find something between ten and one to listen to
while I'm at work. So here's the question. I listened
to the Minnesota Goodbye, then I listened to I'm Still Fun.
(13:45):
But do Bailey or Vaughn have a podcast we can
listen to? Do you have any podcast recommendations? I can't
do audio books. I can't focus on them enough, so
podcasting or music it is. Thanks for the recommendations. Bailey
in font you should do a podcast. That'd be a
really good idea.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
Well, vont has a podcast with his like college radio friends,
yet the Morning Commute if you want to listen to Vance.
And to be totally honest, since everybody has a podcast,
I am the one.
Speaker 6 (14:12):
Little I don't have one either, the little balloon in
the corner.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
No you're not. I don't have one either.
Speaker 6 (14:16):
R you did have one.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
I want to do it again. I just I'll be
honest with you. I keep procrastinating. I know what I
want to do on the podcast, but I keep procrastinating
doing it. Yeah, And one of the reasons, I'll be
honest with you, there's nobody around her to fucking help
it anymore. And I don't know how to I used
to do the Minnesota know what was it called take
a shower, show up on time, and don't steal anything.
(14:38):
And I did it for years and I really enjoyed
it and it did quite well. But now they've changed
the podcast platform and it's no longer this methodology, it's
this and you have to go through this. I don't
know how to do it that. And it used to
be Tina worked here, and Tina would help me set
that up. She doesn't work here anymore. There's a guy
named AJ, and AJ is way too busy, and I
asked him to help me a few months ago and
(15:00):
we never quite got back. I'm not blaming AJ. He's
wearing so many hats. I would feel bad to go
into his office and say, Hey, I can record a podcast.
I don't need your help with themes or ideas or
music or recording. I need uploading. I need the technique
and the key code and the RSV code and all
that shit. And I don't know how to do that.
So I would be one starting today if I could.
Speaker 6 (15:22):
Yeah, I guess I don't know how to do that.
Speaker 4 (15:23):
Can your podcast be about day?
Speaker 1 (15:26):
I don't want to say, oh, yeah.
Speaker 5 (15:27):
Because you have ideas of the things you want to do, Okay,
I don't want to say.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
Can reveal your secret?
Speaker 1 (15:32):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (15:32):
Fine.
Speaker 5 (15:33):
I haven't listened to this podcast before, but if you
like comedy, they always their clips always show up on
my TikTok and it's called the Basement Yard.
Speaker 6 (15:41):
Listen to the Basement Yard.
Speaker 4 (15:42):
Gosh, have you listened to it?
Speaker 3 (15:44):
It is so weird because like, I love the Basement Yard,
and when people say, like, oh, who's your celebrity crush
right now, I just say the guys on the Basement Yard.
Speaker 4 (15:52):
Yeah, one of them is married, right, Andrine and Joey.
I think they're they're so fucking funny.
Speaker 5 (15:57):
Dave usually like, I have no idea what their podcast
actually is, but their clips of like outtakes or just
like really funny.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
Moments of it show up on my feet all the time.
Speaker 5 (16:06):
I'm like, I need to start listening to this the
basement Yard Basement Yard podcast, And it's two guys. I
think they live in New York, but they're definitely I
don't know if they're technically comediums themselves or if they're
just two guys. Are Yeah, so they it says when
you look at it, it says that they discuss sex,
sports and family. Oh wait, no, this is not for
that podcast. They're just so funny, like one is always
(16:29):
like hitting on the other guy and it's like and
he's married to a woman. Like it's not they're not
near of them marketing.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
They're just like broe like stupid. They're so funny. I
definitely recommend clip later. And they're both so cute. They're
going on tour and me and my sister really want
to go see them because they'll be here in like
two weeks. And I just that's my celebrity crush is
both of the boys on the basement yard.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
So funny, uh interesting. I will definitely check that out. Okay,
this comes from Taylor and she sent it more of
those cards that come from a conversation game. And I
love these because they're actually She's picked out really good ones.
What is your or do you have any frivolous kitchen gadgets?
Do you have any frivolous kitchen gadgets? I have one
(17:14):
called the bar b Boss bar b Boss. It is
a giant barbecue spatula combined with a beer bottle opener,
so in the by this batula part is a beer
bottle opener. I just love it. I don't know, it's
just stupid. It's a giant spatula, the barbe Boss.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
I don't really have any weird frivolous things in general,
Like I've got a blender, I've got an air fryer,
but like nothing is kooky and weird.
Speaker 6 (17:40):
You know what I do really want?
Speaker 3 (17:41):
I want one of those like grippy things that you
put on top of a jar so you can open
a jar better.

Yeah, I need one of those.
Speaker 4 (17:47):
Someone just gave me that our cup appearance, said Dave.

I need one of those so bad because my my
little toothpick arms have such a hard time.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
I just thought of something that I do have a
crazy kitchen gadgets. It's countertop meat smoker. That's way better
than the barbie boss. Bring that in again, Well I did.
I brought it in a yearish or so ago, and
I smoked a turkey breast out here in the hallway,
so good. And it looks like a crock pot. But
it's got heating elements and a little smoker in there.
So you put wood chips in and it's about the
(18:22):
size of a it's the size of a small bowl
of ice cream. Yeah, the smoker, So you put the
smoke chips in, You put it in there. It does
all the work, and then two or three hours later
you got a delicious slab of smoked meat. It's moist
and it's so good. I will bring it again.

Welcome to another episode of the Minnesota good Bye. We're
gonna start off with a rent weekly rent from our
friend juan Nita. It's always fun to see what is
on her mind and how many times she says fuck
and that shit pisses me the fuck off. So let's
get started. Here we go and eat a Hey.

Ones that called me bougie before. So we go out.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
We take them downtown and my husband decided that he
wanted to get a state from a restaurant, which we
normally don't do. So we went to this place on
Hindebin Avenue. I think it was called Butcher's Tail. I
think that's the name of it.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Okay, we walked in.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
It didn't even look like we belonged in there, but

called waygu Ribbi for a sixteen ounce pizza steak for
one hundred and thirty dollars. I said, bitch, you don't
(01:32):
know anything about no damn Waygo. The only reason you
said that is because the fact that we said we're
gonna pay for it. So now you want to pick
the most expensive thing on the menu to buy.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
You don't.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
You're from the South side of Chicago. You don't know
shit about no damn wagu. I never even heard of that. Hell,
when we go eat at your house, you give us
a dry ass pizza round steak from Walmart and some
great value fries on a paper plate.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Now, all of a sudden, you want Waygo because we.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Said we're gonna play bitch Waygo.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
Fuck you.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
That's my right.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Fend I love you guys.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Bye.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
You forgot to say that shit pisses me the fuck off.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
Nah, I like that. I liked her little line there.
That's so funny. That is.
Speaker 5 (02:09):
I man, if you say you're paying for something, someone
immediately goes to the most expensive item on the menu, asshole.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Move yes, I'm so I would never I did. Then
I get the chicken breast. It's like, oh, I'll have
the salmon.
Speaker 5 (02:24):
Maybe not the cheapest cheapest thing, but like one of
the cheaper items on the menu.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
If someone said they were pain that's just crazy.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
A quick story I've told it before. We were in
Las Vegas and it was my brother in law's big birthday,
like fiftieth birthday. So we go to like a Japanese
steakhouse and we ordered I think it was Wagu Wagu
Bee for whatever. Yeah, and we're like, well, I mean
that's that's good stuff, right, how much is it? And
the woman, the waiter server had a very thick Japanese accent,
(02:52):
and so she told us seventy five dollars. Okay, well
that's expensive, but seventy five bucks. Let's live it up. Yeah,
we get the bill it was two hundred seventy five dollars.
Speaker 6 (03:02):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Because we couldn't understand her accent, not her fault. But
we couldn't understand that she threw a two seventy five,
two to seventy five, And so we we went back
the next morning. We said, look, we didn't want to
make a fuss when we were paying the bills. We
go back the next morning when they opened up, they
did not give a shit. They said, oh sorry, I mean,
can you give us something? You know what they gave us,
(03:25):
like a dessert. They gave us a dessert in a
clear clamshell little box at eleven o'clock in the morning.
That was it.
Speaker 6 (03:32):
So be careful what it's left over from last year?
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Absolutely all right? Next one, Jennifer writes in she shares,
I'm coming to Minnesota this weekend from Nashville to celebrate
my grandpa's one hundred birthday, and I wanted to reach out.
I actually grew up in Minnesota. Been listening to Dave
since the early nineties. One of my favorite memories back
in twenty ten, I was very pregnant at the state fair.
(03:56):
Dave stopped and said, when are you do which I
would never do now because they could have, like, you know,
a tuma. You never noticed a Tuma at the time,
my husband was in the Army. We're being relocated to
d C. Not longer after I was that, I was
pushing that baby and a stroller on a walk through
the streets a Fairfax, Virginia when I found the Dave
Ryan Show again on iHeartRadio, and I was drawn to
(04:17):
the tagline. Now with nearly seven listeners, a lot of
people found us because they thought that's funny, that's a
good bit. Yeah, and I've been listening ever since. Our
life has brought us all over the country. Fast forward
to last week or this week. My kids fourteen, thirteen, twelve, ten,
and seven and I just got back from a road
trip to South Florida and katiewb was our exclusive listening choice,
(04:40):
basically the only thing we can all agree on. They
think it would be super fun to stop by and
meet you all if it's possible. Totally understand blah blah blah. No,
we can totally do that. Well, I will write you
back and let you know. That's from Jenny. Psive and
debating emailing you all for the last week and yesterday
felt like fate. I was returning something to my low
old Navy when the manager bass for my phone number
(05:04):
to look up the receipt. The six five to one
area code prompted her to say where are you from?
And it turns out she's also from Minnesota and still
listens to your show.
Speaker 6 (05:14):
Tell your friends.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
She brought it up. It felt like a sign. I
love it so much when people move out of state
and still listen to Katie.
Speaker 6 (05:21):
W Yeah, that's awesome. Visitors.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Stall for me right for a second, and I will
write her back.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Okay, okay, Jenny, Yeah, baby, you look really pretty today.
Speaker 6 (05:31):
I really like your jeans.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
They look like you are in the movie The Sandlot,
beloved film from the nineties. Yeah, where the all the
little boys have the little baseball team.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
Yeah, that's kind of the vibe they are.
Speaker 5 (05:42):
They're a little bit more like boyish looking in the
female drivenge.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
I like them.
Speaker 5 (05:48):
Yeah, so that's the you know. I was a little
bloated when I woke up this morning, so I was like,
and we're going to go into MAFETI.
Speaker 6 (05:54):
They look nice. They look nice.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
I like the lovely dress.
Speaker 6 (05:57):
I'm getting my haircut today.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
Really yeah, like a lot. No, Dave's like, I'm bored
with the No.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
I appreciate you talling. No, I had to write her back,
because I don't write her back now I will forget right.
Next one is from our buddy Nate, subject line foods
we miss Hello, Dave, Jenny Bailey, and Vaughan, who's probably
busy doing something in the other studio. Yes, I already
have a staff writer sticker, and I've listened to every
episode of The Minnesota Goodbye since it started. I don't
often write in. However, when I was listening to an
(06:25):
episode from last week, the topic of foods we missed
that are not available anymore came up. I knew I
had to write in twelve years ago or so my
wife Alyssa, who, by the way, she's hot, because I
know Nate his wife is hot. Yep, his hot wife.
We were introduced to beer chips by a friend of mine.
I'm not an avid beer drinker, so I wasn't sure
i'd like them, But basically, they're kettle chips with a
(06:46):
delectable sweet and salty coating that's essentially an addictive drug.
I don't know if it was MSG or narcotic sprinkled
on there, but they were heaven in chip form. Here's
a picture of twenty twenty three of us shopping at
Costco when they had them fully stopped, and there is
hot wife Melissa being all excited in front of the
beer chip a display. I never heard of them before.
(07:09):
According to shunbeer dot com, they disappeared in about twenty fourteen.
They were made by Kalin Family Brands, a small Minnesota
based company that owns a variety of foods such as
Wiley Wallaby liquor Ish, Oh.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
Yeah, that stuffs good, It's good.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Okay, and nutris Source pet Food. Unfortunately, they felt like
the demand wasn't strong enough to justify the cost, investing
more than ten million in R and D and advertising.
We still long for that delicious combination of sweet and
salty in our chips, and despite owning the rights to
produce them in twenty twenty thirty, they will not return
to shelves anytime soon. Well, that's too bad, because you
(07:45):
found something you really like. Remember about five years ago
we all discovered dots pretzels.
Speaker 5 (07:50):
Oh it has it only been five years?
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Many longer ago.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
I had a friend who like when those came out,
she got them so much and she gained so much
weight because she's like.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
It's just butter like straight like, but they're so good.
We so Tina that used to work on the show.
She has a bachelor party coming up, and then send
out a questionnaire of things like what do you like
to drink?
Speaker 4 (08:11):
And what do you like to snack on? And immediately
my head's a dots. Puzzles.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
They're so good. I mean, there's so much better than
like a rolled gold or whatever. Nate goes on to say,
wrap it up with thanks for always providing the bright
spot on my day and forgiving Dave shit to keep
him humble. Back in my wordle connections and strands puzzles. Well,
back to my wordle connections and strands puzzles. Have a
great day, Nate. We trade puzzle results every morning.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
Do you guys still do that? I love that for you.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
We do. And usually, you know, neither of us are spectacular,
but sometimes we'll get it into or we'll you know whatever,
and then we brag a little bit or we make fun.
He called me stupid today, Well, well you are. I
didn't get wordle today because it was it was difficult
and tricky, and he did not get connections today because
(08:58):
connections was also diff called in tricky.
Speaker 6 (09:01):
So I'm gonna try and do the word all then okay.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Well, can you maybe not do it right now?
Speaker 6 (09:05):
You just emailed back, I'm multitasking here.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
You're not gonna do wordle in the middle of the
Minnesota goodboda.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
Here's the word that you start with.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Rays r ai s E and no, I don't get anything.
I do mouth m out h because it contains some
good solid consonants and all of the vowels rays mouth smart.
I'm going to tell you a little secret, and Nate
knows this. If I get to the end and I'm
not getting it, I will guess pussy.
Speaker 4 (09:32):
Yeah, you've said that, just.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Until it gives me the answer. So if I'm three
or four guesses in and I'm nowhere close, I'll guess
pussy three times until it finally says. The word is lilac.
It's whatever.
Speaker 5 (09:44):
You already know that it doesn't contain an S, but
you're like, fuck it, pussy, Oh.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Absolutely, yeah, yeah, all right. Nixt one, and Kristen writes
in kind of regularly, thank you. Is there a terribly
bad movie that you just love? Mine would be the
nineteen ninety three Super Mario Brothers Live action movie. It
is my childhood, so I always have big feelings of
nostalgen No matter how much people make fun of it
or hate it, it will always have a spot in
(10:09):
my heart. Honestly, nothing comes to mind. Napoleon Dynamite is
actually a good movie. Some people don't get it and
they think it's really stupid. Other than that, I can't
think of one that's stupid that I like.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
I like, Go ahead, Jenny, I was gonna say.
Speaker 5 (10:25):
I think one that I like a lot, but a
lot of people probably haven't even seen is Burlesque, which
stars Christina Aguilera. Oh yeah, and I love it. She's
so hot in it. Everyone's super hot in it because
they're burlesque girls. And I just love it. And it's
such a classic story of like there's a love and
then things go wrong because she wants to be famous
or whatever it is.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
I don't even know, but it's such a good movie.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
I always liked like really bad chick flicks from like
the early two thousands, like Chasing Liberty and License to Wed,
and they're all like pretty bad in general.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
That's funny.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
I loved those movies so much, and that's all I
used to watch is just bad chick flicks from the
early two thousands.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
I was saying an answer, I know what will happen.
It'll be on the way home. I'll be like, oh,
I should have said this. Kristin, thanks for writing and
we always appreciate that.
Speaker 4 (11:11):
One Norma of the North.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Norma the North was probably the single worst movie I've
ever seen. And I know you're giving me a hard time.
I took my grandkids, I don't know, they were probably
eight and four, and I took them when it was new,
and Norma of the North was so bad. And that's
why you never hear anything about it. That even the
kids in the theater were like, you know, like sitting
backwards on the seat looking at the people behind them.
(11:35):
It was awful. Another really bad one was tomorrow Land.
Speaker 6 (11:38):
Which was George Clooney.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
It seemed like it would be good, yeah, but it was.
It was not good. No Hello, says Caitlin. I used
to work at Costco and I was told the difference
between Costco and Sam's Clubs. Costco will make a choice
on a product for you, and Sam's Club will give
you options. For example, Costco might have one brand Cottage
cheese that they think is the best option, and Sam's
(12:01):
would offer three, so you can make a choice. Sam's
Club offers scan and go, which I think is worth
switching to Sam's Club personally. No more standing in long
lines to check out. They also have these arches that
you walk through past checkout that scans your item in
your cart against recent receipts to match them up. No
more standing in line to check receipts at the door.
It really comes down to what you want. There essentially
(12:23):
the same thing with similar products. It's Costco and Sam's
carries a brand of something you prefer in the other.
It's not choose that one. Love the show. I have
only been in Costco maybe two or three times. Susan
loves Costco. She'll come home with a palette of Gatorade, yes,
or a palette of you know whatever. And I've been
in Sam's Club a couple of times and it's I
(12:44):
like it because it seems less chaotic, bustly busy, but
not like just people scrambling on a Black Friday.
Speaker 6 (12:52):
Yeah it is.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
I mean it's really hectic in Costco. But I a
love Costco. I go there all the time.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
I do love so I don't think I've ever been
in a Sam Clubs. I haven't speak on that.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
It honestly, samscub looks just like Costco. It's like almost
exactly the same, except I don't think you can. There's
not like a little restaurant like there is in Costco.
But you know what here speaking of Costco, this is
a side note on Costco. They said forever ago that
they were switching the sodas oh yeah, to coke Coke.
Speaker 6 (13:17):
They did not. It is still PEPSI.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
Oh really, I thought it was like coming in a month.
Speaker 6 (13:22):
Well I want.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
It now, Okay. Continuing on and the Minnesota Goodbye. This
one email says hello. So, like many writers listening to
Ryan Seacrest, it's hard to listen. So I'm usually trying
to find something between ten and one to listen to
while I'm at work. So here's the question. I listened
to the Minnesota Goodbye, then I listened to I'm Still Fun.
(13:45):
But do Bailey or Vaughn have a podcast we can
listen to? Do you have any podcast recommendations? I can't
do audio books. I can't focus on them enough, so
podcasting or music it is. Thanks for the recommendations. Bailey
in font you should do a podcast. That'd be a
really good idea.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
Well, vont has a podcast with his like college radio friends,
yet the Morning Commute if you want to listen to Vance.
And to be totally honest, since everybody has a podcast,
I am the one.
Speaker 6 (14:12):
Little I don't have one either, the little balloon in
the corner.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
No you're not. I don't have one either.
Speaker 6 (14:16):
R you did have one.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
I want to do it again. I just I'll be
honest with you. I keep procrastinating. I know what I
want to do on the podcast, but I keep procrastinating
doing it. Yeah, And one of the reasons, I'll be
honest with you, there's nobody around her to fucking help
it anymore. And I don't know how to I used
to do the Minnesota know what was it called take
a shower, show up on time, and don't steal anything.
(14:38):
And I did it for years and I really enjoyed
it and it did quite well. But now they've changed
the podcast platform and it's no longer this methodology, it's
this and you have to go through this. I don't
know how to do it that. And it used to
be Tina worked here, and Tina would help me set
that up. She doesn't work here anymore. There's a guy
named AJ, and AJ is way too busy, and I
asked him to help me a few months ago and
(15:00):
we never quite got back. I'm not blaming AJ. He's
wearing so many hats. I would feel bad to go
into his office and say, Hey, I can record a podcast.
I don't need your help with themes or ideas or
music or recording. I need uploading. I need the technique
and the key code and the RSV code and all
that shit. And I don't know how to do that.
So I would be one starting today if I could.
Speaker 6 (15:22):
Yeah, I guess I don't know how to do that.
Speaker 4 (15:23):
Can your podcast be about day?
Speaker 1 (15:26):
I don't want to say, oh, yeah.
Speaker 5 (15:27):
Because you have ideas of the things you want to do, Okay,
I don't want to say.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
Can reveal your secret?
Speaker 1 (15:32):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (15:32):
Fine.
Speaker 5 (15:33):
I haven't listened to this podcast before, but if you
like comedy, they always their clips always show up on
my TikTok and it's called the Basement Yard.
Speaker 6 (15:41):
Listen to the Basement Yard.
Speaker 4 (15:42):
Gosh, have you listened to it?
Speaker 3 (15:44):
It is so weird because like, I love the Basement Yard,
and when people say, like, oh, who's your celebrity crush
right now, I just say the guys on the Basement Yard.
Speaker 4 (15:52):
Yeah, one of them is married, right, Andrine and Joey.
I think they're they're so fucking funny.
Speaker 5 (15:57):
Dave usually like, I have no idea what their podcast
actually is, but their clips of like outtakes or just
like really funny.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
Moments of it show up on my feet all the time.
Speaker 5 (16:06):
I'm like, I need to start listening to this the
basement Yard Basement Yard podcast, And it's two guys. I
think they live in New York, but they're definitely I
don't know if they're technically comediums themselves or if they're
just two guys. Are Yeah, so they it says when
you look at it, it says that they discuss sex,
sports and family. Oh wait, no, this is not for
that podcast. They're just so funny, like one is always
(16:29):
like hitting on the other guy and it's like and
he's married to a woman. Like it's not they're not
near of them marketing.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
They're just like broe like stupid. They're so funny. I
definitely recommend clip later. And they're both so cute. They're
going on tour and me and my sister really want
to go see them because they'll be here in like
two weeks. And I just that's my celebrity crush is
both of the boys on the basement yard.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
So funny, uh interesting. I will definitely check that out. Okay,
this comes from Taylor and she sent it more of
those cards that come from a conversation game. And I
love these because they're actually She's picked out really good ones.
What is your or do you have any frivolous kitchen gadgets?
Do you have any frivolous kitchen gadgets? I have one
(17:14):
called the bar b Boss bar b Boss. It is
a giant barbecue spatula combined with a beer bottle opener,
so in the by this batula part is a beer
bottle opener. I just love it. I don't know, it's
just stupid. It's a giant spatula, the barbe Boss.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
I don't really have any weird frivolous things in general,
Like I've got a blender, I've got an air fryer,
but like nothing is kooky and weird.
Speaker 6 (17:40):
You know what I do really want?
Speaker 3 (17:41):
I want one of those like grippy things that you
put on top of a jar so you can open
a jar better.
Speaker 6 (17:45):
Yeah, I need one of those.
Speaker 4 (17:47):
Someone just gave me that our cup appearance, said Dave.
Speaker 5 (17:50):
And I did because I was bitching about how I
can't get those retainers open.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
So she gave me one of the like the some
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (17:57):
That's what I need.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
I need one of those so bad because my my
little toothpick arms have such a hard time.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
I just thought of something that I do have a
crazy kitchen gadgets. It's countertop meat smoker. That's way better
than the barbie boss. Bring that in again, Well I did.
I brought it in a yearish or so ago, and
I smoked a turkey breast out here in the hallway,
so good. And it looks like a crock pot. But
it's got heating elements and a little smoker in there.
So you put wood chips in and it's about the
(18:22):
size of a it's the size of a small bowl
of ice cream. Yeah, the smoker, So you put the
smoke chips in, You put it in there. It does
all the work, and then two or three hours later
you got a delicious slab of smoked meat. It's moist
and it's so good. I will bring it again.
Speaker 6 (18:40):
You should yeah, write it down.
