Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, y'all ready for a minute, So do you get buying?
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (00:04):
Here for the weekly rant. It is our friend, our friend,
and yours. Oh I need a.
Speaker 3 (00:11):
Here we go, Hey ho hey. So my husband said,
for twenty twenty six, my resolution should be that I
should not let things piss me off so bad. But
then came January second, when I dropped my family off
at the bus station, I got into a big fight
with the one of the bus station attendants. I was
justified because she was a hood rat. But I'll have
(00:32):
to explain that you all another day. So let the
rants begin. So here's my first rant for twenty twenty six.
So I know that we need the snowplow people because
they keep the roads, you know, dry and safe and everything.
But so last week when we had that all the snow.
So usually my husband he does the he snow blows
(00:55):
and I usually do the shoveling. So I shovel the
porch of the sidewalk, and I usually shovel up all
the lines that the snowblower misses, and I usually chop
up all the ice that's usually builds up at the
end of the driveway. So when we get done and
we go in the house and we look out the
window and we sip our cocoa and we admire our work,
(01:18):
our driveways. Like I said, we're the only black people
on the on the block, so we have an image
to maintain. So our driveway, our driveway is usually all
nice and clean. We can see the concrete, it's it's dry.
But what usually happens. I think the snowplow people may
have this this game that they play. So they sit
(01:38):
at the end of the block and we they say, well,
we're gonna wait till these fuckers get through with their
driveway and watch this. So here they come down the
block and they push all the goddamn snow on the
on the end of the driveway right after we get
through shoveling and snow blowing. It's like, come the fuck on,
what the hell you couldn't do that ship while we
(01:59):
were while we were, you know, in the process of
snow blowing and shoveling, or you couldn't do that shit.
Don't even push the shit up on the end of
the driveway. Push that shit down the street. Why the
hell do you have to wait till we fucking finished
cleaning everything up and then you want to push the
goddamn snow up on the end of the driveway right
after we get through cleaning the driveway up. God damn it.
(02:22):
They pissed me the fuck off. Well, there's my first
rent for twenty twenty six. And by the way, it
was it was nice to hear Ranger Jessica again because
I have a question for her. Where the fuck did
these white squirrels come from? I never knew that they existed.
So I was on my way home one day and
(02:43):
I saw what I thought was a white snowball rolling
down the street. I knew it wasn't a white snowball
because it jumped the curve and it ran up the tree.
It looks so cute and cuddly, but I know that
they're probably just as Raby's infested as the other fucker.
But where the hell did the white's squirrels come from?
Like I said, I never knew that they existed. Well,
(03:05):
I'll talk to you guys next week. I love you bye, I.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Love you back. We have an i'd call him an
albino squirrel. I don't know if he truly is albino.
I don't know if it is or pink or not.
But yeah, it's not horribly uncommon. But I've got like
one in our neighborhood.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
Yeah, we've got one. I've got one in Saint Louis
Park two that I see quite often. I think they're cute.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Yeah I don't either, but I like them because they're cute.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
They are, but they're also nasty little motherfuckers, because squirrels suck.
I have a bird feeder, and I have a bird buddy,
and then I have the thing that keeps the squirrels
from climbing it. I don't know how they figure it out.
They climb up the side of the house. They the
motherfucker will sit out there on top of the bird,
on top of the bird feeder and eat the entire thing,
(03:52):
and then he'll throw food down for his buddies. So
then I've literally seen five or six squirrels at the
foot of my bird feeder while fucking Kevin the Lee
Squirrels as his name is, up there throwing food down
for him. And it's like, sometimes I give up on
feeding my birds because as soon as I put out there,
here come the squirrels, and it just kind of takes
the fun out of it. And Susan's like, well, they
(04:13):
need to eat too, and I'm liked, have them get
their own food.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
Yeah, get a job, right, God.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Exactly, let's see here randomly choosing this one. I've noticed
in a few of Vaughan's social media videos how many
pictures he has up on the walls at his apartment.
I was trying to think of myself at his age,
and I don't think I had one picture a piece
of art hanging on my wall. So nice work on
making your home feel like a home. That's great. I'm
(04:40):
curious about the esthetic of each of your homes and
how you would describe your style. Here's what I would imagine, Dave,
traditional leather wood, browns, maybe some platters, stripe pillows. Okay,
I'll just spend thirty seconds on this one. We are
at decorator. Susan is a terrible decorator. I am even worse.
We don't have an esthetic. Susan hung up all of
(05:02):
her board and brush signs in the living room, which
I let her do. They look like shit, but they
are not a living.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
They're just not leveled.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Well they're not leveled, then they're not a bet. They're
not a living room. Aesthetic, but that it's it looks
like the display wall of a board and brush center.
And I don't say anything about it to her because
it'll hurt her feelings. But we had my friend Curtis,
who is a designer, come over and design the inside
of the home, and Allison is helping with the new one.
Because we have no clue at all, Bailey, I'm picturing aclectic,
(05:33):
vintage chair in the corner, antique photos, Elvis, nick Knacks,
and a few Disney things mixed in. That is correct.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
I do have all of that stuff.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Yes, Jenny, I've seen your kitchen projects, so I have
an idea that you are somewhat of a minimalist. Lightwood's
neutral pain colors and not a lot of things on
the wall. Am I close from.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
Rebecca are spot on? Like I don't. I can't even
add anything to that.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Next one, looking at the time. Here, Okay, we're good. Hello,
I says Patty, our friend, Patty big friend of the show.
I heard Jenny talking about how she wants to spend
more time in nature, so I want to suggest that
she or any if you start a nature journal. I
took a class on nature journaling and the idea is
to not to walk through nature like you do when
(06:18):
you stroll around a lake or take a hike, but
to sit and be present in nature and really pay
attention to what's happening around you. I like this so far,
and let's read on. Stop and sit on a bench
during a walk, or even just sit in your backyard
for at least fifteen minutes, really listen, observe, and even
smell what is happening around you. Are there birds chirping?
(06:39):
Is the wind rustling the leaves in the trees? Do
you smell flowers? Do you hear frogs in a nearby pond?
Get a small notebook or blank journal and just start writing.
Where are you? What's the weather like today? What do
you see that brings you joy? Do you see any
patterns like tree bark or the ripples created by the
wind blowing over a lake. Pick up a lie and
(07:00):
put it under a page and do a leaf rubbing
in your journal. Add simple sketches if you want your
animal prints. You see on the ground, a pine cone
of fallen tree flowers? There's so much to see in here.
Holy shit, Patty, you are turning me on to this idea. Yeah,
I love it too. You can search online for nature
journaling prompts and you'll find great ideas for how to
(07:22):
get started. Being outdoors is so good for you, and
this is a way to make your connection to nature
even deeper and help reduce stress while you're out there.
Give it a try. Happy New Year from Patty.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Wow, I like all of that stuff.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
That is awesome. I'm actually going to forward that to myself.
Hold on one second, you want to forward to you guys, Well.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
Yeah, I would love it. I will say that I
love everything about that because I go outside quite a bit,
like year round in Minnesota. But I don't feel like
I pay attention to anything when I do it in Minnesota.
But if I go travel somewhere else, I am always
taking in the sounds of smells like the Pacific Northwest
is the best smell ever. I just like love the
smell in the Pacific Northwest. But I just feel like
I'm so used to everything around here that I don't
(08:03):
pay attention to that stuff. I just get outside because
I want to get outside. So that makes you actually
think it does indeed.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Very interesting, Thank you, Patty. Next one Joe Gonzalez. He's
our friend from Turlock, California. He came to visit one
day a few months ago. Hey Katz, he says, Chrissy
Tigan is on my list of how do they keep
getting work? I agree this Star Search judge panel is weird,
slightly sexy, and illogical. Who would you choose as a
(08:32):
dream panel for the three judges for Star Search? I
would pick Katherine McPhee, Tony Danza, and John McEnroe. Wow, Okay,
that's a weird ass panel, but I like the creativity. Okay,
I'm going to say Paul McCartney, Taylor Swift, and Justin Guarini.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Ooh yeah see. I would pick somebody who's like one show,
like a Star searcher and American Idol. So I agree
with like Katherine McPhee Justin Greeney. But then also some
kind of like entertainer that would be nice.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
Yeah, like a.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Host, Okay, Jenny.
Speaker 4 (09:14):
I would pick a Sabrina Carpenter because I think she's
got a lot of like Sassin attitude, and obviously she's
in music. I would go someone country, like a legend
like Garth Brooks, and then to mix it up and
not have all artists, I would do Matthew McConaughey because
he would be really interesting. Yeah, you bring the funnies exactly.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
All right, here's one that I have not pre read.
Let's see what we get up to longtime listeners. Second
time writer, says Laura from hum Hamburg, Minnesota. Hump Hamburg, Humburg, Minnesota.
Few random stories for you number one and the reason
for this email. A few weeks ago, my family and
I were at Shiels and my husband ended up finding
(09:56):
a bow and arrow for my son. They're working on
getting it all set up, and the so sure from
Shields is saying, what will all come with the bow
and arrow? Release arrows? And then he said a whisker biscuit.
Now I know nothing about bows and arrows, and I
have no clue what a whisker biscuit is, But all
all I could hear was Dave and his Pimpville Clinton
voice saying, whisker biscuit, Bailey, how are you Bailey? Touch it?
(10:21):
What is Jenny? Turn around? Jenny Bill Poon tell Hillary,
oh god, he'll dog. She farted so hard the garage
door opener. Fuck, I fucked got up. Hillary farted so
hard the garage door went up. Whisker biscuit. Anyway, I
(10:45):
had to walk away because I was turning red, laughing hysterically.
I tried searching iHeartRadio for pimp Bill Clinton bits and
couldn't find any. If you have one, I'd love to
hear it so I can share it with my husband.
Currently he thinks I'm a lunatic. Okay, I don't know
what a whisker biscuit is, but apparently I I think
it might be the thing that you put on your
fingers so when you pull the string back, this string
doesn't dig into your fingers. Oh, but I don't know.
(11:07):
I don't know, but I like it. I like the phrase.
Bailey was in my dream. A couple of weeks ago.
We were at the comedy club and she sat next
to me and I said hi, and she said high back,
and I fangirled. Story number three about a year ago,
Middle of the night and low key or and low okay,
least begin about a year ago is the middle of
the night and lo, lo and behold there we go,
(11:27):
I hear talking. I live in the middle of nowhere.
It should be silent. I walk out to my kitchen
and where my phone is, and it's Juan Nita doing
one of her rants who for some reason, my phone
started playing the Minnesota Goodbye podcast while we were all asleep,
so I had to turn her off and save her
rant for another day. Thanks for being a bright and
shiny part of my day. That is a very sweet email.
(11:49):
That is Laura. Thanks Laura, and I'm glad you wrote
in touch it Laura, Laura Poon tang, touch it, whisk
or biscuit. Okay, thank you, Laura. I'm going to hit
delete on that one. We did one Nita's rant, So
there goes that one. Let's scroll up and Chow writes
(12:15):
in and we don't really bring this up a lot,
because you know, we've brought it up endlessly about the
commercials in the volume on the podcast. But Bailey did
make a little correction I did.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
I clicked a button and asked somebody who just like
messaged me on Instagram occasionally about the Minnesota Goodbye. I
was like, yo, Elsa, hey, shout out Elsa, listen to
this and tell me if it's any different, and she
said it sounded better. So I don't know. I just
clicked a random button that had like a check mark
that's at auto level.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Look at that or other So okay, Chow writes in Hey,
I've noticed the commercials on the podcast. We've gotten better
in the last few days. Before it was around five minutes,
now it's about half that time.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
I don't have anything to do with the length. I'm
just doing the volume.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
I really appreciate that next one. I've been listening to
the show religiously for decades. I have brought you with
me as I moved around the country on the iHeart app.
I currently live in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and be
traveling to oh Watana this weekend for a funeral. I
was thinking about staying until Monday. If there's any way
I can stop by the station and say hello, I'd
(13:14):
be happy to bring y'all coffee or breakfast or lunch,
whatever you want. I know it's super forward to invite myself,
so no pressure. Well, absolutely, I will write her back
and we'll set this up. Yeah yeah, let me see
what else. She says. Also, if you want some content,
I'm going through a divorce currently with someone who has
struggling with some pretty major mental health issues, and it's
making me feel like a terrible person for abandon in
(13:36):
him while he's struggling. It would be interesting to hear
your listener's perspectives and insight as well as yours. You're
on I'm going to write her back right now. Stall
for me for a second while I write her back.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
What do you got today? Can I tell you something
really cute? So, Katie Kapani said that. So we go
and get lunch occasionally at different places around town, and
we try to go to like, you know, foreign foods
place is that we wouldn't normally eat. Yeah, And we
kept telling each other like we should make a spreadsheet,
we should make a spreadsheet. And I mentioned it to
regular guy Eric, my boyfriend, and he made one, made
(14:10):
a spreadsheet gros. So we have like a big long
list of all the places we want to go and
then he has it like format it in a way
that if we've been there, it turns green and then
we can have a score and then it ranks by
scoring and all of that.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
I like this man more and more every day. So
that was fun.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
It's a cute things, my da.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Well, I totally miss what you said because I was concentrating.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
I was talking about regular guy being really cute, yeah,
and making me a spreadsheet for me and Katie Capp
for all of the places that we want to go
eat someday.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
I love that. Yeah, it's cute. Okay, Yeah. And final email.
Here we go checking the sea. We have time, Yes,
it looks like we do. Indeed. Okay, good Dave, Jenny Bailey.
I live in Buckeye, Arizona. Oh and I'm always listening
on the podcast to fun fact. Julie's family used to
have a very very large cotton farm in or just
(14:59):
outside I had a Buckeye, Arizona and Julie's dad that
was my ex chases, Mama, she's gone now. They were
a very very wealthy family, and Julie's dad at one
time was Arizona's largest Suppima cotton farmer. Suppima is a
very special brand of cotton, apparently very fine brand of cotton,
(15:19):
and so money, money, money. And then at one point
I heard that Julie had a relative that was growing
marijuana plants in between the rows of cotton and the
FEDS cotton. So not a good idea.
Speaker 4 (15:33):
You can grow marijuana outside?
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Oh really no, I think.
Speaker 4 (15:37):
It has to be in some form of like a
greenhouse thing.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Well, what a dumb ass he was.
Speaker 4 (15:42):
Then interest.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Also, Buckeye Airport was the first time I ever went skydiving,
and so I landed on both feet and they called
it a stand up landing.
Speaker 4 (15:52):
And you liked that job.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
I fucking hated it.
Speaker 4 (15:54):
Okay, that's what I thought.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
You like it.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
You never went. I never loved skydiving, even though I've
been four times. All Right, finally, here, she says, I'm
I'm not sure when this topic was brought up, but
I'm responding now. Worst pain ever came recently. I had
to have my left leg amputated above the knees.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
That was due to a work accident, and that's another story.
But when I was back home from the hospital for
one day, when I was getting ready for bed, I
was in the bathroom walking with my walker, and all
of a sudden, the leg of the walker gets caught
on the rug and I thought my leg was still
there when to put it down, of course it wasn't there,
and bam fell right on top of the stump. Wow,
(16:38):
oh my god. I thought I was going to go
through the roof, split open, four stitches, blood coming out,
and pain like you wouldn't believe. So, yeah, that hurt.
Worse than when I had a portable three hundred pounds
sand blaster fall on my leg and poking a giant
hole through my leg. That must be the work accident,
she spoke of. Wow, can't even imagine, Mel, Wow. Okay, everybody,
(17:02):
that's my story. I thought i'd share. Keep doing what
you're doing, Love you guys, and do another online auction.
Dave throwing some switch games in there. I need some more.
And on a side note, Dave, are you getting the
new animal crossing coming out? I didn't know there was one,
did anybody else?
Speaker 4 (17:16):
There?
Speaker 1 (17:16):
No peace, my fellow non dart liquors, because this tongue
ain't going near that hole. Yeah, you're missing out. Okay, Mel,
Just to let you know.
Speaker 4 (17:27):
I'm going to correct myself because I googled it. You
can grow marijuana outside. I just I think I assumed
because it's been illegal for so long that most people
had to hide it into in like greenhouses or something.
It could just be so I think that that's where
my mindset came from. But yeah, you definitely can. It
just has to It wouldn't work in Minnesota. It has
to be in like warm temperatures, so that would make sense.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
Clearing that up. I appreciate that. I do remember that.
It's it really interesting because Julie's father, and he died
before I ever met Julie. But he was very successful,
very very ambitious, and possibly a little bit shady. And
I don't know for sure, but some of the things
she had told me. And you can talk about dead
(18:09):
people without worrying about, you know, libel or you can
talk about dead people without worrying about libel or slander.
Because if if I were to die today, you guys
could come on the radio tomorrow and you could legally say, yeah,
he was an asshole, he cheated on his taxes, he
used to you know, let stray kittens loose in the
(18:32):
middle of a field, all of these things, and you
there is no risk of you being sued because you
cannot libel or slander a dead person. So because they
have nothing to lose, you know what I mean, you can't.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Like tarnish their name, Like couldn't their family get mad.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
At you for that?
Speaker 1 (18:50):
I don't know, I mean I don't I don't think
they can't sue you. They could maybe sue you civilly,
but they can't sue you legally, like in a court sit. Yeah,
does that make sense the word for it. Yeah, but
he was that Julie's dad was really ambitious, and then
Julie was not shady. But Julie was wealthy and didn't
(19:12):
really need to work, so she didn't really work. But
then the sons in the family, if I remember right,
they were always, you know, broke. They were always like, Okay,
they got some inheritance and then they spent it, and
so then they needed more money. And then one of
them grew grew marijuana in Buckeye, Arizona and got caught.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
So now that sounds like a movie.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Yeah, Arizona's largest Supima cotton farmer. And that is the
Minnesota goodbye for the day. Hey, great bunch of emails.
See what happens when you get a bunch of emails?
It is so fun. Wow, I just loved it. Thanks
big special thank you to Juanita and Patty for the
rant and also the nature journaling.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
I love that, Thank you, Patty. And that'll do it
for this Minnesota Goodbye. Send more emails in please to
Ryan's show at KDWB dot com.
All right, y'all ready for a minute, So do you get buying?
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (00:04):
Here for the weekly rant. It is our friend, our friend,
and yours. Oh I need a.
Speaker 3 (00:11):
Here we go, Hey ho hey. So my husband said,
for twenty twenty six, my resolution should be that I
should not let things piss me off so bad. But
then came January second, when I dropped my family off
at the bus station, I got into a big fight
with the one of the bus station attendants. I was
justified because she was a hood rat. But I'll have
(00:32):
to explain that you all another day. So let the
rants begin. So here's my first rant for twenty twenty six.
So I know that we need the snowplow people because
they keep the roads, you know, dry and safe and everything.
But so last week when we had that all the snow.
So usually my husband he does the he snow blows
(00:55):
and I usually do the shoveling. So I shovel the
porch of the sidewalk, and I usually shovel up all
the lines that the snowblower misses, and I usually chop
up all the ice that's usually builds up at the
end of the driveway. So when we get done and
we go in the house and we look out the
window and we sip our cocoa and we admire our work,
(01:18):
our driveways. Like I said, we're the only black people
on the on the block, so we have an image
to maintain. So our driveway, our driveway is usually all
nice and clean. We can see the concrete, it's it's dry.
But what usually happens. I think the snowplow people may
have this this game that they play. So they sit
(01:38):
at the end of the block and we they say, well,
we're gonna wait till these fuckers get through with their
driveway and watch this. So here they come down the
block and they push all the goddamn snow on the
on the end of the driveway right after we get
through shoveling and snow blowing. It's like, come the fuck on,
what the hell you couldn't do that ship while we
(01:59):
were while we were, you know, in the process of
snow blowing and shoveling, or you couldn't do that shit.
Don't even push the shit up on the end of
the driveway. Push that shit down the street. Why the
hell do you have to wait till we fucking finished
cleaning everything up and then you want to push the
goddamn snow up on the end of the driveway right
after we get through cleaning the driveway up. God damn it.
(02:22):
They pissed me the fuck off. Well, there's my first
rent for twenty twenty six. And by the way, it
was it was nice to hear Ranger Jessica again because
I have a question for her. Where the fuck did
these white squirrels come from? I never knew that they existed.
So I was on my way home one day and
(02:43):
I saw what I thought was a white snowball rolling
down the street. I knew it wasn't a white snowball
because it jumped the curve and it ran up the tree.
It looks so cute and cuddly, but I know that
they're probably just as Raby's infested as the other fucker.
But where the hell did the white's squirrels come from?
Like I said, I never knew that they existed. Well,
(03:05):
I'll talk to you guys next week. I love you bye, I.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Love you back. We have an i'd call him an
albino squirrel. I don't know if he truly is albino.
I don't know if it is or pink or not.
But yeah, it's not horribly uncommon. But I've got like
one in our neighborhood.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
Yeah, we've got one. I've got one in Saint Louis
Park two that I see quite often. I think they're cute.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Yeah I don't either, but I like them because they're cute.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
They are, but they're also nasty little motherfuckers, because squirrels suck.
I have a bird feeder, and I have a bird buddy,
and then I have the thing that keeps the squirrels
from climbing it. I don't know how they figure it out.
They climb up the side of the house. They the
motherfucker will sit out there on top of the bird,
on top of the bird feeder and eat the entire thing,
(03:52):
and then he'll throw food down for his buddies. So
then I've literally seen five or six squirrels at the
foot of my bird feeder while fucking Kevin the Lee
Squirrels as his name is, up there throwing food down
for him. And it's like, sometimes I give up on
feeding my birds because as soon as I put out there,
here come the squirrels, and it just kind of takes
the fun out of it. And Susan's like, well, they
(04:13):
need to eat too, and I'm liked, have them get
their own food.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
Yeah, get a job, right, God.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Exactly, let's see here randomly choosing this one. I've noticed
in a few of Vaughan's social media videos how many
pictures he has up on the walls at his apartment.
I was trying to think of myself at his age,
and I don't think I had one picture a piece
of art hanging on my wall. So nice work on
making your home feel like a home. That's great. I'm
(04:40):
curious about the esthetic of each of your homes and
how you would describe your style. Here's what I would imagine, Dave,
traditional leather wood, browns, maybe some platters, stripe pillows. Okay,
I'll just spend thirty seconds on this one. We are
at decorator. Susan is a terrible decorator. I am even worse.
We don't have an esthetic. Susan hung up all of
(05:02):
her board and brush signs in the living room, which
I let her do. They look like shit, but they
are not a living.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
They're just not leveled.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Well they're not leveled, then they're not a bet. They're
not a living room. Aesthetic, but that it's it looks
like the display wall of a board and brush center.
And I don't say anything about it to her because
it'll hurt her feelings. But we had my friend Curtis,
who is a designer, come over and design the inside
of the home, and Allison is helping with the new one.
Because we have no clue at all, Bailey, I'm picturing aclectic,
(05:33):
vintage chair in the corner, antique photos, Elvis, nick Knacks,
and a few Disney things mixed in. That is correct.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
I do have all of that stuff.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Yes, Jenny, I've seen your kitchen projects, so I have
an idea that you are somewhat of a minimalist. Lightwood's
neutral pain colors and not a lot of things on
the wall. Am I close from.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
Rebecca are spot on? Like I don't. I can't even
add anything to that.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Next one, looking at the time. Here, Okay, we're good. Hello,
I says Patty, our friend, Patty big friend of the show.
I heard Jenny talking about how she wants to spend
more time in nature, so I want to suggest that
she or any if you start a nature journal. I
took a class on nature journaling and the idea is
to not to walk through nature like you do when
(06:18):
you stroll around a lake or take a hike, but
to sit and be present in nature and really pay
attention to what's happening around you. I like this so far,
and let's read on. Stop and sit on a bench
during a walk, or even just sit in your backyard
for at least fifteen minutes, really listen, observe, and even
smell what is happening around you. Are there birds chirping?
(06:39):
Is the wind rustling the leaves in the trees? Do
you smell flowers? Do you hear frogs in a nearby pond?
Get a small notebook or blank journal and just start writing.
Where are you? What's the weather like today? What do
you see that brings you joy? Do you see any
patterns like tree bark or the ripples created by the
wind blowing over a lake. Pick up a lie and
(07:00):
put it under a page and do a leaf rubbing
in your journal. Add simple sketches if you want your
animal prints. You see on the ground, a pine cone
of fallen tree flowers? There's so much to see in here.
Holy shit, Patty, you are turning me on to this idea. Yeah,
I love it too. You can search online for nature
journaling prompts and you'll find great ideas for how to
(07:22):
get started. Being outdoors is so good for you, and
this is a way to make your connection to nature
even deeper and help reduce stress while you're out there.
Give it a try. Happy New Year from Patty.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Wow, I like all of that stuff.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
That is awesome. I'm actually going to forward that to myself.
Hold on one second, you want to forward to you guys, Well.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
Yeah, I would love it. I will say that I
love everything about that because I go outside quite a bit,
like year round in Minnesota. But I don't feel like
I pay attention to anything when I do it in Minnesota.
But if I go travel somewhere else, I am always
taking in the sounds of smells like the Pacific Northwest
is the best smell ever. I just like love the
smell in the Pacific Northwest. But I just feel like
I'm so used to everything around here that I don't
(08:03):
pay attention to that stuff. I just get outside because
I want to get outside. So that makes you actually
think it does indeed.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Very interesting, Thank you, Patty. Next one Joe Gonzalez. He's
our friend from Turlock, California. He came to visit one
day a few months ago. Hey Katz, he says, Chrissy
Tigan is on my list of how do they keep
getting work? I agree this Star Search judge panel is weird,
slightly sexy, and illogical. Who would you choose as a
(08:32):
dream panel for the three judges for Star Search? I
would pick Katherine McPhee, Tony Danza, and John McEnroe. Wow, Okay,
that's a weird ass panel, but I like the creativity. Okay,
I'm going to say Paul McCartney, Taylor Swift, and Justin Guarini.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Ooh yeah see. I would pick somebody who's like one show,
like a Star searcher and American Idol. So I agree
with like Katherine McPhee Justin Greeney. But then also some
kind of like entertainer that would be nice.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
Yeah, like a.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Host, Okay, Jenny.
Speaker 4 (09:14):
I would pick a Sabrina Carpenter because I think she's
got a lot of like Sassin attitude, and obviously she's
in music. I would go someone country, like a legend
like Garth Brooks, and then to mix it up and
not have all artists, I would do Matthew McConaughey because
he would be really interesting. Yeah, you bring the funnies exactly.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
All right, here's one that I have not pre read.
Let's see what we get up to longtime listeners. Second
time writer, says Laura from hum Hamburg, Minnesota. Hump Hamburg, Humburg, Minnesota.
Few random stories for you number one and the reason
for this email. A few weeks ago, my family and
I were at Shiels and my husband ended up finding
(09:56):
a bow and arrow for my son. They're working on
getting it all set up, and the so sure from
Shields is saying, what will all come with the bow
and arrow? Release arrows? And then he said a whisker biscuit.
Now I know nothing about bows and arrows, and I
have no clue what a whisker biscuit is, But all
all I could hear was Dave and his Pimpville Clinton
voice saying, whisker biscuit, Bailey, how are you Bailey? Touch it?
(10:21):
What is Jenny? Turn around? Jenny Bill Poon tell Hillary,
oh god, he'll dog. She farted so hard the garage
door opener. Fuck, I fucked got up. Hillary farted so
hard the garage door went up. Whisker biscuit. Anyway, I
(10:45):
had to walk away because I was turning red, laughing hysterically.
I tried searching iHeartRadio for pimp Bill Clinton bits and
couldn't find any. If you have one, I'd love to
hear it so I can share it with my husband.
Currently he thinks I'm a lunatic. Okay, I don't know
what a whisker biscuit is, but apparently I I think
it might be the thing that you put on your
fingers so when you pull the string back, this string
doesn't dig into your fingers. Oh, but I don't know.
(11:07):
I don't know, but I like it. I like the phrase.
Bailey was in my dream. A couple of weeks ago.
We were at the comedy club and she sat next
to me and I said hi, and she said high back,
and I fangirled. Story number three about a year ago,
Middle of the night and low key or and low okay,
least begin about a year ago is the middle of
the night and lo, lo and behold there we go,
(11:27):
I hear talking. I live in the middle of nowhere.
It should be silent. I walk out to my kitchen
and where my phone is, and it's Juan Nita doing
one of her rants who for some reason, my phone
started playing the Minnesota Goodbye podcast while we were all asleep,
so I had to turn her off and save her
rant for another day. Thanks for being a bright and
shiny part of my day. That is a very sweet email.
(11:49):
That is Laura. Thanks Laura, and I'm glad you wrote
in touch it Laura, Laura Poon tang, touch it, whisk
or biscuit. Okay, thank you, Laura. I'm going to hit
delete on that one. We did one Nita's rant, So
there goes that one. Let's scroll up and Chow writes
(12:15):
in and we don't really bring this up a lot,
because you know, we've brought it up endlessly about the
commercials in the volume on the podcast. But Bailey did
make a little correction I did.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
I clicked a button and asked somebody who just like
messaged me on Instagram occasionally about the Minnesota Goodbye. I
was like, yo, Elsa, hey, shout out Elsa, listen to
this and tell me if it's any different, and she
said it sounded better. So I don't know. I just
clicked a random button that had like a check mark
that's at auto level.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Look at that or other So okay, Chow writes in Hey,
I've noticed the commercials on the podcast. We've gotten better
in the last few days. Before it was around five minutes,
now it's about half that time.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
I don't have anything to do with the length. I'm
just doing the volume.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
I really appreciate that next one. I've been listening to
the show religiously for decades. I have brought you with
me as I moved around the country on the iHeart app.
I currently live in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and be
traveling to oh Watana this weekend for a funeral. I
was thinking about staying until Monday. If there's any way
I can stop by the station and say hello, I'd
(13:14):
be happy to bring y'all coffee or breakfast or lunch,
whatever you want. I know it's super forward to invite myself,
so no pressure. Well, absolutely, I will write her back
and we'll set this up. Yeah yeah, let me see
what else. She says. Also, if you want some content,
I'm going through a divorce currently with someone who has
struggling with some pretty major mental health issues, and it's
making me feel like a terrible person for abandon in
(13:36):
him while he's struggling. It would be interesting to hear
your listener's perspectives and insight as well as yours. You're
on I'm going to write her back right now. Stall
for me for a second while I write her back.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
What do you got today? Can I tell you something
really cute? So, Katie Kapani said that. So we go
and get lunch occasionally at different places around town, and
we try to go to like, you know, foreign foods
place is that we wouldn't normally eat. Yeah, And we
kept telling each other like we should make a spreadsheet,
we should make a spreadsheet. And I mentioned it to
regular guy Eric, my boyfriend, and he made one, made
(14:10):
a spreadsheet gros. So we have like a big long
list of all the places we want to go and
then he has it like format it in a way
that if we've been there, it turns green and then
we can have a score and then it ranks by
scoring and all of that.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
I like this man more and more every day. So
that was fun.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
It's a cute things, my da.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Well, I totally miss what you said because I was concentrating.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
I was talking about regular guy being really cute, yeah,
and making me a spreadsheet for me and Katie Capp
for all of the places that we want to go
eat someday.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
I love that. Yeah, it's cute. Okay, Yeah. And final email.
Here we go checking the sea. We have time, Yes,
it looks like we do. Indeed. Okay, good Dave, Jenny Bailey.
I live in Buckeye, Arizona. Oh and I'm always listening
on the podcast to fun fact. Julie's family used to
have a very very large cotton farm in or just
(14:59):
outside I had a Buckeye, Arizona and Julie's dad that
was my ex chases, Mama, she's gone now. They were
a very very wealthy family, and Julie's dad at one
time was Arizona's largest Suppima cotton farmer. Suppima is a
very special brand of cotton, apparently very fine brand of cotton,
(15:19):
and so money, money, money. And then at one point
I heard that Julie had a relative that was growing
marijuana plants in between the rows of cotton and the
FEDS cotton. So not a good idea.
Speaker 4 (15:33):
You can grow marijuana outside?
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Oh really no, I think.
Speaker 4 (15:37):
It has to be in some form of like a
greenhouse thing.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Well, what a dumb ass he was.
Speaker 4 (15:42):
Then interest.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Also, Buckeye Airport was the first time I ever went skydiving,
and so I landed on both feet and they called
it a stand up landing.
Speaker 4 (15:52):
And you liked that job.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
I fucking hated it.
Speaker 4 (15:54):
Okay, that's what I thought.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
You like it.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
You never went. I never loved skydiving, even though I've
been four times. All Right, finally, here, she says, I'm
I'm not sure when this topic was brought up, but
I'm responding now. Worst pain ever came recently. I had
to have my left leg amputated above the knees.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
That was due to a work accident, and that's another story.
But when I was back home from the hospital for
one day, when I was getting ready for bed, I
was in the bathroom walking with my walker, and all
of a sudden, the leg of the walker gets caught
on the rug and I thought my leg was still
there when to put it down, of course it wasn't there,
and bam fell right on top of the stump. Wow,
(16:38):
oh my god. I thought I was going to go
through the roof, split open, four stitches, blood coming out,
and pain like you wouldn't believe. So, yeah, that hurt.
Worse than when I had a portable three hundred pounds
sand blaster fall on my leg and poking a giant
hole through my leg. That must be the work accident,
she spoke of. Wow, can't even imagine, Mel, Wow. Okay, everybody,
(17:02):
that's my story. I thought i'd share. Keep doing what
you're doing, Love you guys, and do another online auction.
Dave throwing some switch games in there. I need some more.
And on a side note, Dave, are you getting the
new animal crossing coming out? I didn't know there was one,
did anybody else?
Speaker 4 (17:16):
There?
Speaker 1 (17:16):
No peace, my fellow non dart liquors, because this tongue
ain't going near that hole. Yeah, you're missing out. Okay, Mel,
Just to let you know.
Speaker 4 (17:27):
I'm going to correct myself because I googled it. You
can grow marijuana outside. I just I think I assumed
because it's been illegal for so long that most people
had to hide it into in like greenhouses or something.
It could just be so I think that that's where
my mindset came from. But yeah, you definitely can. It
just has to It wouldn't work in Minnesota. It has
to be in like warm temperatures, so that would make sense.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
Clearing that up. I appreciate that. I do remember that.
It's it really interesting because Julie's father, and he died
before I ever met Julie. But he was very successful,
very very ambitious, and possibly a little bit shady. And
I don't know for sure, but some of the things
she had told me. And you can talk about dead
(18:09):
people without worrying about, you know, libel or you can
talk about dead people without worrying about libel or slander.
Because if if I were to die today, you guys
could come on the radio tomorrow and you could legally say, yeah,
he was an asshole, he cheated on his taxes, he
used to you know, let stray kittens loose in the
(18:32):
middle of a field, all of these things, and you
there is no risk of you being sued because you
cannot libel or slander a dead person. So because they
have nothing to lose, you know what I mean, you can't.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Like tarnish their name, Like couldn't their family get mad.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
At you for that?
Speaker 1 (18:50):
I don't know, I mean I don't I don't think
they can't sue you. They could maybe sue you civilly,
but they can't sue you legally, like in a court sit. Yeah,
does that make sense the word for it. Yeah, but
he was that Julie's dad was really ambitious, and then
Julie was not shady. But Julie was wealthy and didn't
(19:12):
really need to work, so she didn't really work. But
then the sons in the family, if I remember right,
they were always, you know, broke. They were always like, Okay,
they got some inheritance and then they spent it, and
so then they needed more money. And then one of
them grew grew marijuana in Buckeye, Arizona and got caught.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
So now that sounds like a movie.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Yeah, Arizona's largest Supima cotton farmer. And that is the
Minnesota goodbye for the day. Hey, great bunch of emails.
See what happens when you get a bunch of emails?
It is so fun. Wow, I just loved it. Thanks
big special thank you to Juanita and Patty for the
rant and also the nature journaling.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
I love that, Thank you, Patty. And that'll do it
for this Minnesota Goodbye. Send more emails in please to
