Speaker 1 (00:00):
Well, hello and welcome to the Minnesota Goodbye. This is
a podcast about you and what you want to talk about.
You choose the topic and you write in. You trying
to do a different intro.

Speaker 4 (00:17):
Yeah, I say, you know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (00:19):
I don't know what it's giving. It's giving, not Dave Ryan.

Speaker 1 (00:22):
Let me try this one if I did my Dateline
mystery like yaya whatever, Okay, welcome to the Minnesota Goodbye.
Where you get to choose the topics. If you want
to write in and tell us what you want to
talk about, that would be great. Now that's kind of

(00:46):
like that guy with the wrinkly face and the white hair.

Speaker 3 (00:48):
Do you know what I'm talking It needs to be
a little more cryptic sounding, though, if it's dateline or
whatever else, Like it sounded a little more like a
mixture between Dateline and mister Rogers, like you were too
friendly in it.

Speaker 1 (01:00):
Well, I'll try to be more of a dick than Yeah,
I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (01:03):
You just said you gotta sound more mysterious.

Speaker 1 (01:05):
Now, work on it, all right, you we go, Dave,
Jenny Bailey Vant good afternoon. I wanted to write in
and say had a great time at Bailey's birthday bashy
on Thursday evening. Was so fun to meet Dave again
and meet the rest of you for the first time.
You were all so gracious and accommodating and letting my
cousin take pictures. So big thanks to that. Shout out
to vont who made a video with me for my

(01:27):
partner who's currently in Puerto Rico. Luis thought the video
was funny, but mentioned that Vaughan forgot about bringing back
some mo fungo.

Speaker 4 (01:34):
Oh yeah, what's that? I don't know, I was gonna say,
I'm pretty sure.

Speaker 1 (01:38):
Yeah, Okay. I hope there's a big bash for Dave
as well next month and listeners will be invited. Then
you can start planning for Vaunt's next birthday. I'm sure
he's already counting down the days. Oh and I just
heard the replay edition of you all getting fired by
HR managers and I died laughing. I'm glad my HR
role never involves employee terminations. You were all awesome. I
have a great weekend, not darting or licking, but I

(02:01):
might be calling HR staff writer Annie from Roseville. We
just had the best time at Bailey's birthday bash. I'm
gonna be really honest with you. When I first walked in,
there was nobody there. Yeah, And for the first like half,
like fifteen minutes or so, I thought, oh, this is
not looking good. But then I started talking to somebody

(02:22):
and it looked up and it was full. We had
a very big crowd.

Speaker 5 (02:25):
Yeah, I'm glad that it filled up because I was
there early because it was my party.

Speaker 4 (02:29):
So I was like, I got to be there early and.

Speaker 5 (02:31):
Set up and stuff, and my mom brought decorations, bless
her soul, so it looked kind of nice. But I
was so nervous because like the first people that walked
in were people that I knew, and I was like, oh,
I hope they're not judging me because there's no one
here yet.

Speaker 4 (02:44):
And I'm so glad people showed up. So glad.

Speaker 1 (02:47):
It was a great party. It really was. I was
very happy with it. And they gave us a big room.
We had a pretty big room to fill up.

Speaker 4 (02:53):
Yes, yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:53):
And the brewery Forgotten Story is a vast brewery. It
is the biggest brewery I've ever been in, by far,
like three times bigger than your average brewery, I think.
So when I first walked in, I saw a few friends.
It's like, oh, okay, well where's Bailey, And I didn't
see you. And then I looked down the hall and
we were in a room, like a party room down
the hall.

Speaker 4 (03:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (03:15):
But within a half an hour, forty five minutes, it
was full. Yeah, and the guys from the Jesse James
Days were there and made night. They what made my night.
That kind of was cool.

Speaker 5 (03:24):
Yeah. People were saying, oh, they were so chatty. They
were so chatty, they had so much to talk about.
But when I talked to them, they were not very chatty.
So I felt awkward. I was like, I got to
entertain these men.

Speaker 4 (03:33):
Oh God. But it was fun. I liked it a lot.
I had a good time.

Speaker 1 (03:38):
Yeah, we met a lot of cool people. So thanks
for coming, Thank you for coming, Brook writes in It's
Brook one of your p one listeners, which means like
somebody who listens all the time. I'm all cut up
listening to your current podcast from The Regular Show and
the Minnesota Goodbye. So I've been listening to old podcasts.
I am currently on the seven am hour of November fifteenth,
twenty twenty three. You guys are playing an improv game

(03:59):
where you described the plot of a movie. Then you
acted out. I wanted to ask you if you could bring
that back? Is it's hilarious? Isn't that the improv? The
Sorry I'm Late? Game?

Speaker 4 (04:08):
Literally, Yeah, we just did today.

Speaker 1 (04:10):
That's why I did it because I saw this email
yesterday and I thought, oh, that's a good game. Yeah, thanks,
and have a wonderful week.

Speaker 5 (04:17):
It's called Sorry I'm Late. You can play it in
the car on family trips. You can play it with
your friends. It's an improv game I learned in improv class.

Speaker 3 (04:25):
Makes you realize that you kind of forget about the
plots of movies you haven't seen in twenty years. Yes,
because I had to like look up Super Bad, I
was like, what is this movie happen? Followed all I
remembered was mclovin.

Speaker 4 (04:35):
Yeah, pretty much.

Speaker 5 (04:36):
Literally, all I ever think of is The Notebook, and
I'm like, that's the only movie I can think of.

Speaker 4 (04:39):
This is the only movie that exists.

Speaker 1 (04:41):
So it's like, yeah, I can only think of Titanic. Yeah, sop,
Hello Bailey and Crew. First off, Happy birthday, Jamison, your
five year old garden touring bestie, says, Happy birthday. You're
still his favorite person. This is from Anna. Anna. We
met a couple of months ago because she invited us
to go horseback riding up at her farm in Zimmerman. Yes,

(05:05):
and you bonded with her five year old kid, James.

Speaker 4 (05:07):
It was so fun. He was so cute.

Speaker 1 (05:10):
The kindness you showed him when you came to our
house to go horseback riding was so special to him.
He asked all the time if you can come babysit him.
On another note, I'm looking for the podcasts episode where
you guys were talking about how long the pre battle
and battle aka sexy Time, but I can't find that.
I figured that since you uploaded the podcast, you might
have an idea. Thanks a ton for any help you

(05:30):
can provide. Hope your birthday bash was a raging success
from Anna. That was the middle of last week, in
about six forty five or so.

Speaker 4 (05:38):
Find it. I can find Oh.

Speaker 3 (05:39):
Man, I was gonna say it was. It was early
in the show and then we.

Speaker 4 (05:46):
Yeah, I'm looking.

Speaker 1 (05:47):
Well, we were talking about and it was kind of funny.
It came up out of nowhere and I don't remember
what brought it up, but it was basically about for
play and on the actual radio show we can't really
get into like you know, like you know, like foreplay
in the things that you do. So we were talking
about how you when you get into the arena, the bed,
you get into the arena, you have to like check

(06:07):
each other's equipment and make sure everything is like all
oiled up and loobed and inspected and you know, do
a deep dive to make sure that your partner is
ready for the battle. And we used a lot of
funny euphemisms that I can't recreate right now, but it
was funny, yep, and very accurate.

Speaker 4 (06:27):
So when was this, Bailey, I'm looking.

Speaker 3 (06:30):
I feel like it was two weeks ago. I don't
know if it was just last week.

Speaker 1 (06:34):
It could have been, but I would say it was
definitely during like the six forty six thirty five part
of the show. Yeah, but thank you, Anna, and again
thank you for having us up to ride horses. That
was one of my favorite things we did this summer.
Chow Rights in regular staff writer talking about ghosts from
the last episode, have you guys ever been to the

(06:55):
restaurant four pause in Saint Paul. It's in an historic
building and there are a lot of spooky things that
happened there. So it looks like the haunted mansion at
the State Fair. It really does. They painted it all
black for effect, and it is probably one hundred and
twenty year old mansion from you know, from one hundred
and twenty years ago, and it's a restaurant, and I

(07:17):
think I went there many years ago. Yeah, And the
only thing I remember about going there is we went
with another couple. So it was me and my fiance
at the time and another couple, and my fiance had
a crush on the guy half of the other couple.
And she wasn't really somebody who laughed easily, like if
I said something witty, I would get like kind of
a u and she was not, but she wouldn't laugh

(07:40):
at my jokes. But this other guy, who was very handsome,
and he was a cop, so he was very fit.
Whenever he would say something mildly funny, she would be like, oh,
And I noticed this through dinner and I afterward, I said,
you got a little crush on Danny, don't you, And
she's like, no, why, And I said, because every time

(08:02):
he said something mildly funny, you would laugh. And I
think that's how one way you can tell when a woman,
and I don't know if it goes the other way,
has a crush on you. Because there was a mom
in our Scout group, so we would have parent meetings
at somebody's house like once a month, and whenever I
would say something mildly funny, this other mom would laugh

(08:24):
like it was the funniest thing she ever heard. And
I think it was because she had a little bit
of a crush on me. This was ten years ago,
when I was still moderately attractive, and I think that's
one of the things, like a girl will laugh at
a guy if she has a crush on him. Yeah,
anything to that.

Speaker 4 (08:41):
I think that's true.

Speaker 2 (08:43):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (08:43):
I think you might give more attention, but I'm not
going to laugh at a stupid joke if I don't
think it's funny, you know. But yeah, you definitely like
have your eyes are locked on that person, and you're.

Speaker 2 (08:56):
Probably smiling a little bit.

Speaker 4 (08:58):
More than you do.

Speaker 5 (08:59):
Yeah, yeah, I feel like every I think it was
the laughter and the touching of the shoulder or the knee.
And I literally read that you're supposed to do that
in like Cosmo or something when I was like fifteen
years old. Like if you have a crush and a guy,
laugh more when he tucks, and make sure to touch
him whenever you have the upportunity so it knows.

Speaker 1 (09:17):
Yeah, well, the scout mom didn't touch me. That would
have been awkward, and you know her husband was right
there too, But yeah, I think sometimes that's a sign.
Next one from Carmen, a regular staff writer. Good morning,
Bailey's party was amazing and I'm so glad i went.
I thought for sure my anxiety would get the best
of me. Thankfully, Elia, it didn't. It's always great to
catch up with you, Dave and bitch. Keep lifting those

(09:40):
weights or I will tell your trainer to give you
more burpies. Jenny Bailey Vant talk about some kind souls. Jenny,
I really thought you were a lot taller, But girl,
can you hold a booty class? I need a booty
like that. Jenny and Bailey are both gorgeous and simply
the sweetest people I've ever met. Now, vont there's something
about you that is so calming and easy to talk
to you and my husband said he would be your

(10:02):
bodyguard anytime. Thank you all for sharing your lives with
us and putting smiles on all of our faces. What's
interesting is that Carmen. I've known Carmen for twenty years
because we met on a station trip to Wisconsin Dell's
and she has a boy Carson's age, so we kind
of hung out together that weekend. Yeah, and Carmen does
not strike me as any kind of social anxiety at all,

(10:23):
because she's outgoing, she's funny. Yeah, she's got a great.

Speaker 4 (10:26):
Laugh, great hair, Yeah, what I expect.

Speaker 5 (10:29):
I had a vision of what she looked like in
my brain, so when I met her, I was like,
oh my god, No one looks the way that I
think that they look in real life, which is no fun.

Speaker 4 (10:37):
No.

Speaker 1 (10:37):
So it was just interesting that even somebody who seems
really gregarious and outgoing can still have anxiety and social anxiety.
But for what it's worth, Carmen, you know what, fuck
you And that's a joke. Well that's a joke because
that's how Carmen and I talk to each other. We
call each other bitch. I make certain jokes to her
that are very inappropriate because she does the same thing
to me. So I thought I share that one.

Speaker 5 (11:00):
Can I tell you that I found the podcast episode
that had the Arena of.

Speaker 4 (11:05):
Love information back, Okay, tell me more.

Speaker 5 (11:07):
September thirteenth, the six AM hour. The title of the
show is my Name's not Joanne, and we'll talk about
it in there.

Speaker 1 (11:15):
Okay, my name's not Joanne. How do we get that name?

Speaker 5 (11:17):
It's it was like a oh, Joanne, I love you
so much. My name's not Joanne. I don't know, Dave.
It was something that we all laughed at.

Speaker 4 (11:25):
So I wrote it down, and that's the title.

Speaker 1 (11:27):
I just asked, you got shut What day was that again?

Speaker 5 (11:30):
Six am hour on September thirteenth, so weakish.

Speaker 4 (11:35):
Ten days ago, ten days or so ago?

Speaker 1 (11:36):
Okay, all right, next one it says, don't say my
name hello. I am pissed at the weather apps. Let
me explain for the background. I've been listening since two
thousand and five. I've never met Dave. I'll often say
to my husband, Dave said, and he'll ing her up
with Dave Ryan or Dave your uncle. Nine out of
ten times it's Dave Ryan. So obviously I was excited

(11:58):
to meet you all. I had Bailey's birthday on my
physical kitchen calendar since it was announced.

Speaker 3 (12:02):
Yay.

Speaker 1 (12:03):
But then today my weather apps were saying severe weather
possible strong winds, watch for large hail, and radar showed
red during your event. Uugh. Well, I recently had my
car stolen and now I have a new vehicle, so
I was worried that if I go, my new car
would be destroyed by hail. Come five thirty, nothing, not
even rain. The apps lied. I didn't get to support

(12:23):
Bailey on her birthday and meet you guys. I don't
have a point except to say I'm really sad I
didn't get to go to the birthday party and happy
belated birthday, Bailey. That's weird. There was no rain or
any of there was. Well, now there.

Speaker 2 (12:37):
Was right on the schedule.

Speaker 3 (12:38):
There was a lot of stuff, like I had had
an event earlier that day, and so I was like
looking at the weather and yeah, it was literally four
to like seven pm, and said there was like a
really high chance of rain. I don't know if I
saw hail or anything, but there was supposed to be thunderstorms.

Speaker 5 (12:54):
Yes, And I thought that that might happen, that people
would not come because of the weather, because I even
had who are like, hey, it's supposed to be really
bad weather.

Speaker 4 (13:02):
What's the rain. Likes the rain date or whatever. I
feel like there isn't one. It's inside so right, And.

Speaker 3 (13:08):
I actually wasn't even positive if we were like inside
for sure we or it was planned to be outside
or not. So I think that's why I was looking
at the weather.

Speaker 1 (13:16):
But yeah, what a cool place though, Forgotten Star really cool. Yeah,
I did not have the purple Bailey's whatever seltzer.

Speaker 4 (13:25):
Yeah, the seltzer. It was good.

Speaker 5 (13:27):
I had to buy it on the way out because
I didn't have any drinks while I was there.

Speaker 2 (13:32):
Yeah, Dad, did you know that Billy didn't have a
single drink. She was so busy talking to people.

Speaker 1 (13:36):
I believe that. Yeah, no, we do. We get so
busy one thing that I feel bad that there's nothing
I can do about it, and I'm not complaining. But
when we go to events like that, I want to mingle.
I want to move around the room and I want
to like go say hi to like this friend, or
maybe I see somebody who came by themselves and I
want to go, like say hi. You know, Like there

(13:57):
was a woman named Barbie and she came by herself
and I've met before, but I you know, I bought
her a drink when she first came in because she
came in and looked around like I don't know anybody,
and I said, hey, come here, and I brought her
into a circle of people were talking to and so
I bought her a drink and we're chat chat chatting,
and then I looked up a little while later and
she was sitting by herself. And but my my thing

(14:17):
was people will you know if they come up and
they start talking to you, and that's great and we
love that, that's what we're there for. Yeah, but then
what people will do is they'll line up like another
one will get behind them and then line up, and
then that kind of roots you to one spot where
you it you know, it's it's then it becomes like

(14:38):
a meat and greet. Yes, And I want to be
able to mingle and walk around and go say hi
to like Bailey's mom who showed up and Ronda was
sitting by herself part of the time, and I want
to go flirt with your mama, okay, because you know
your mom's kind of hot. I'd hit that. Now I'm
trying to get a reaction out of you. Does that
any reaction out of you at all? No?

Speaker 5 (14:55):
I mean, she'd probably be thrilled if you wanted to,
you know, flirt with her a little bit, because she
would also probab not know what to say, so.

Speaker 1 (15:01):
She'd be like, So I felt a little bit bad
that we were rooted to one spot and I couldn't
mingle around and go flirt with your mom. But I'm
not complaining because people want to come up and say, Hi, Yeah,
what am I gonna do? Say? I gotta go, thanks
for waiting in line, I'm gonna go talk to somebody else.

Speaker 5 (15:21):
So right, and your line was kind of like a
significant line. I had people talking to me the whole night,
but it was kind of like they were like a
little cloud of people. So I would see their eyes
scan as I was talking to someone else. I'd be like, oh,
I have to talk to that person, and then I
would see somebody else, and et.

Speaker 4 (15:37):
Cetera, et cetera.

Speaker 5 (15:38):
I had some of my friends there too that I
didn't even get to talk to. So yeah, that's fine, and.

Speaker 1 (15:44):
You know what, and sometimes that's how it is. It's
probably like if you're like the bride or a groom
at a wedding, yes, and you want to walk around
and talk to everybody, Yes, but you know, if you
really can't, then you'll won't get to say hi to
your cousin April, who drove all all the way for
Milwaukee to be there, and then you're like, fuck, April
was there. I never even got to say hi to her.

Speaker 5 (16:06):
Yeah, that's what I had friends that were there that
literally just got married last year, and they were like,
this feels like a wedding.

Speaker 4 (16:11):
This feels like you're getting married and you can't talk.

Speaker 5 (16:14):
To anybody because and I'd be like, yeah, I know,
isn't that well, oh gotta run hold on bye. So yeah,
but I just made me think like, dang, I ever
want to get married. This is exhausting. This is only
two hours.

Speaker 1 (16:25):
I think a wedding day would really literally be exhausting.
I really think it would, because you know, you get married,
but then you're you're kind of on the whole.

Speaker 4 (16:36):
Day, right, Yeah.

Speaker 5 (16:37):
And that's how I felt at the birthday party, obviously
because it was mine. But I went home and I
was exhausted because I was just on the whole day.

Speaker 4 (16:44):
Yeah. Yeah, all right.

Speaker 1 (16:46):
Next one, first time writing to the Minnesota Goodbye longtime
listeners since August eleventh of twenty eleven.

Speaker 4 (16:52):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (16:53):
Thanks for keeping track. Not sure if it's ever come up,
but I'm curious how Bailey moved to Florida and worked
at Disney. Was the move a personal choice? Was it
move with a boyfriend? Obviously? I understand it's a touch
if it's a touchy subject. Since I've never heard the story,
no need to respond. Not sure if this qualifies for
a staff writer sticker, but I would love one. If
you're still doing those, thank you dart click lick lick.

(17:16):
I would send you one, but you did not include
your mailing address, so write me back. Include your mailing address.
We will make sure that Secretary Breez sends you one.
Tell me about Florida.

Speaker 5 (17:27):
I moved to Florida right after I graduated college, and
I graduated college early, and honestly, I did not know
what I wanted to do with my life.

Speaker 4 (17:35):
I didn't have like.

Speaker 5 (17:36):
Any like cool sweet internships lined up, because I feel
like you hear about those all the time, but those
are from the people who are like successfully getting them,
and not necessarily the people who don't. So I did
not get any cool fun internships. So I thought, you know,
what would be cool and fun that I could do
for half of a year, and so I moved to

(17:56):
Disney World to work at Disney World.

Speaker 1 (17:58):
What a cool adventure, though, how did you work there?

Speaker 5 (18:01):
I worked there, So my program was like seven months long,
and then I went seasonal and I.

Speaker 4 (18:06):
Worked there for two more years.

Speaker 1 (18:08):
I didn't know you were there that long. Did you
live there the entire time?

Speaker 3 (18:11):
No?

Speaker 5 (18:11):
I lived there for my program, yeah, and then I
would live with my friend as I came back for
like three months at a time each year.

Speaker 1 (18:19):
And that is it the Minnesota goodbye. Thanks for listening.
