Speaker 1 (00:00):
And welcome once again to the Minnesota Goodbye. If you're
here for the first time, thank you for being here.
If you've here for the dozen one hundredth something time,
thank you so much for listening. I know a lot
of people listen in their own pattern, you know what
I mean. They'll listen on the way home from work
or every day on at the gym or whatever. So
thanks for making the Minnesota Goodbye a part of your habit.
(00:20):
We appreciate you. First email, this is for the mom
on the on maternity leave because she said, I'm bored men,
I don't really know what to do.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
I am also on maternity leave and found ways to
get out of the house with the baby and environments
where I don't feel like I need to worry about
my baby fussing, crying, or sleeping, et cetera. I would
says suggest you find your local library, story times, community groups,
indoor baby playgrounds, follow Minnesota parent on Instagram, or a
nursing mother's group. I went to the one in Maple
Grove Hospital. All of these are great places to meet
(00:53):
other parents who are filling their days with adult conversation
but in still enjoying being a parent. One thing that
did stand out for me from her email is watch
out for postpartum depression and anxiety. That's what it sounds
like if she cannot leave her baby to even go
outside while they are napping. Not saying that's what she has.
I am not a medical professional, but postpartum depression and
(01:14):
anxiety can show up in all sorts of ways. If
she has a sliding glass door, set up the baby
bassinett or portable crib next to the door so she
can still see the baby but be outside on the
deck or the plan at the backyard or whatever. All
the best to the new mama and all parents in
the trenches out there dart lick, but only after a shower.
(01:35):
Winky face. Thank you, Shannon, appreciate that one. I found
a really good Instagram that I sent to Alison because
Alison has also got the babies that she is trying
to figure out, and it is I'm going to find
it for you. Hold oh, I send it to her
via Instagram, so I'm not gonna be able to find it,
I don't think. So that went absolutely nowhere. All right,
(01:59):
Next one and good day, my radio friends. Random question
Kristin here you had to go on a competition show.
Which one would you choose?
Speaker 4 (02:10):
For me?
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Would definitely be Face Off, the special effects show where
the competitors do movie makeup, creature, monsters, et cetera.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Oh cool.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
I think it'd be super fun, as I've done makeup
and other effects before. Love you guys all, rite Kristin anybody.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Yeah, I do The Amazing Race just because they get
to travel and I'm I think I'm very good at directions.
I can't drive a stick shift, and that's always like
what gets a lot of people. But I would do
the Amazing Race because they literally get to go to
all kinds of different countries, see different things, and win money.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
And I think I'd be able to do it.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
And there's like random challenges and it's not like usually
I mean, there might be some athleticism to it, but
it's not all like having to be athletic. It's like
a welding challenge that they take a welding lesson and
have to weld something together.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
Ooh, so you have to learn things too. Yeah. I
would do The Circle, which is on Netflix.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
It's like a social media competition where they have all
of these people in their own little apartments in the
same building, and the only way that you can communicate
with each other is through like a little like Instagram
page kind of that you make when you're there. And
then it's a huge like popularity and strategy game and
you never actually get to see anybody unless you get
(03:19):
voted off, and then if you win, you get like,
I don't know, one hundred thousand dollars something like that
just sounds fun.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
I think i'd want to be on is I guess
a game show? I think I would kill it a
Wheel of Fortune. I'm not sure if that's what she's
looking for as far as competitive I know what i'd
like to do, Like one of those alone challenges where
you live out in the wilderness and you're like an expert.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
Would be tapped out after one.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
I don't know, but I love camping and things like that.
But you're so right. I watch those those shows and
they have to find their own food and they resort
to like there was one guy that would kill mice
that would come into his shelter and he would kill
them and he would you know, like skin them and
dress them and then he would you know, like survive
(04:03):
on mice and fish. I don't know, how to I
don't even know how to clean a fish, but that
just sounds kind of funny.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
You would be good.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
I think you would be good on one of those
shows alone, though, however, is one of the most intense.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Versions of the There's definitely.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Different versions, Like there's one on Netflix that I can't
think of that I think you could do, and I
know you've watched it too, and I can't think of
what it's called.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Someone will tell us.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
I would never last on Survivor because I am not
manipulative enough or wise enough to know when I'm being manipulated.
So then Jenny would form an alliance with me, and
I'd be like, oh god, I'm safe, Jenny's not going
to get me voted off, and then it would turn
out to be a trick. Yeah, and then she would
stab me in the heart during tribal council.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
I think Survivor is more about being able to read
people more than, like I mean, it is manipulation, don't
get me wrong, but it also is so about being
able to read people. And we obviously when we watch
the show, we only get you know, an hour episode
or an hour and a half a week, and I
feel like There's so many other conversation that I wish
I could see because I would be able to read
(05:03):
people better.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
The strategy stuff is.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
So difficult for me for my brain to like wrap
my head around because even on Survivor or on like
the Circle that I was saying, when they talk about their
strategy and they have like notes and notebooks and things
like that, like, well, if this is happening, then this
means that the other Nope, that my brain does.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Not work like that. I cannot strategize like that.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
No, not really so good question. We are very short
on emails today, but I'm going to go back to
one that we got a few months ago. This is
from Taylor. Thank you Taylor, and this is from her
game called Honey, and it's basically conversation starting cards that
are mostly for couples, but I think it'll work for anybody.
And Taylor, please send more. Do you have any scars
(05:45):
with stories behind them? I have a couple. I got
one on my forehead from when I was running down
in the basement when I was a kid, and I
turned around just in time to smack my head on
the wall and then I had stitches. It's right here.
I think, and then I got a dog by Scar.
When I was a kid, I lived right next door
to a couple with two German shepherds. Gypsy was one
(06:09):
of them, and Gypsy was just terrifying and I would
stay away from that into the property because Gypsy would
run full board down to the fence, skid into the
fence and bark, bark, bark, like crazy, terrified of Gypsy.
And one day I was up at that kid's house
plane and we were out in the front yard and
he's like, well, let's go in the backyard. And I'm like,
(06:29):
I don't know, and so I walk. I took about
two steps into the backyard. I was in fifth grade,
and I can still see Gypsy come up to me,
turn her head sideways and chomp on my leg. Oh
my gosh, one of her fangs went right deep into
my little kid thigh, and oh my god. I was
crying and screaming and terrified. And I had to get
(06:50):
three stitches, Oh my gosh. And I remember the doctor
stitching me up seemed like he was new, like very new,
like he couldn't have been more. He is like fourteen
years old, and hes stitching me up. And I was
like a little nervous. And then my other ones from
my bike wreck when I put a parachute on the
back of my bike. The parachute got tangled in the
wheels of the bike and I skidded down the road.
And I still have a little tiny star right there. Yeah, yeah,
(07:12):
skitted down the road on my side.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
So what about you, Bailey.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
I have one on my eye that's still pretty prominent
from kindergarten. I was like, of course running. I was
running through my classroom to get to the line to
leave school, and I slipped and fell on water that
was on the floor and I cut my eye open
on like this big sand table that we had that
(07:36):
had these sharpest edges, and I honestly I just remember
like seeing the ceiling and that it hurt really bad.
But my sister said she remembers walking by my classroom
and seeing me bleeding.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
On the floor. Oh looking out. So anyway, there's I
have that one.
Speaker 4 (07:52):
And then I have one on my hand from I
was tango dancing with Anne Johnson during one of the
scenes that we weren't in during My Fair Lady when
I was a junior, and she fell and grabbed onto
my hand and her nail went like right into my hand,
and so I had a huge scar from tango dancing
during My Fair Lady.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
So those are the ones.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
I know.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
What's funny. I'm sad as I think about like, you know,
little Ava or little Allison or I'm not Alison Evelyn,
and how bad I would feel. And just like if
they fell and hurt themselves and cut their cheek open
or cut their like forehead open. Oh, I would just
feel so bad for him, you know, because it's just
so sad.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
You know.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
They call and.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
They I mean, they fall and they skin their knee
and we've all done that. They say, we all have
scars on our left knee because that's the knee we
go to when we fall. I do, And that's just
heartbreaking to think a little tiny Bailey excited one second
and crying and bleeding the next second, And it just
makes me sad.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
The scars I have is my belly button from piercing
it with a cown needle twice and then not working
so it got like a little infected. I have what
like a wishbone scar on my foot from slicing it
open on Lake Minnetonka on Big Island on the fourth
of July.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Do you remember that yet?
Speaker 2 (09:07):
I have this weird scar on my forehead that I'm
not sure where I got it from. It might have
been when my dad's best friend dropped me on my
head when he had me on his shoulders one time
when I was a child, which anytime I do something dumb,
he always brings that up still to this day. And
then I think I have a few more, but I
honestly can't remember. I've injured myself quite often. Oh and
I have this big scar on my wrists because.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
I'm from surgery.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Yeah, from surgery because I have a metal plate in it.
Oh geez, that one too.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
Do you go beep beep through tisca. I don't know
I was, but I don't. Its like what the heck?
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Jeez, here's an email that just came in for the
Minnesota goodbye and let me see if I taped the
right button and here we go. Good morning, says Alyssa.
Is laying in bed last night and was deep in
thought about celebrities. I would like to punch in the
face for being ridiculous. Of course, I need to share
this with you guys for reference. This came about as
I was watching train Wreck balloon Boy last night. Here
(09:58):
is my list, and feel free to share your top
five of celebrities without getting political. Who you would like
to punch in the face. Number one balloon Boy's dad.
He is too much. I don't think I could handle him.
For more than two minutes the whole show. I kept
muttering about how obnoxious this fucking guy is. Okay, I
would agree with that. Something heiny, and he was wanted
(10:19):
to be a reality star, and so he staged this
whole thing, and then he caught lying about it, So
I would agree with that one. All of the bald ones,
no explanations are needed. Nicole Kidman, I just can't handle her.
Go away. I think that she's kind of like a
Mariah Carey in that she's so famous and so formerly
but still very beautiful. Yeah, that she's kind of been
(10:42):
lost in her own aura.
Speaker 4 (10:44):
Yes, he own ether, Yes, soaking it all in Ice Spice.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Stop leaching fame off of Taylor Swift. You have no talent.
Oh that's kind of funny. I don't know anything about
Ice Spice except I felt bad for her because somebody
gave her an orphan Annie haircut and if she would
have known who Orphan Annie was, she would have looked
in the mirror and said, I look like a fucking idiot.
But she was too young to know who Orphan Annie was.
(11:11):
So she walked around with an orange Orphan Annie cut
rough and she looked stupid, and I think somebody looked
at her finally and said, hey, kind of like the
Emperor with No Clothing. You know that story, right, do
you know the story of the Emperor with no clothing, Jenny.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
I know the Emperor's New groove.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
No, that's a different thing. Emperor with no clothing. The
Emperor's New Clothes, I think is the fable, and so
it's a fictional, fairy tale fable. The emperor of some
unknown country wanted the finest clothing in the land, so
he had his I don't know clothing team show him
(11:48):
this very very fine suit of clothing, and he was like,
it's not fine. I want thinner thread, thinner thread, thinner thread.
So they would try thinner thread, and then the emperor
was like, it's still too thick. I want it even thinner.
I want it fine. So they said they pretended to
so m a coade of clothing that was not existent,
(12:11):
and they would hold it up and say they would
pretend to hold it up and say, King slip into this,
and he pretended that he was sophisticated enough that he
could see the clothing or no, it was there. Yeah,
So he is parading it down the street to show
it off, and everybody is sucking up to the king, going,
(12:31):
oh my gosh, it's so beautiful. It's so beautiful, and
a little kid goes but he's naked and kind of
called everybody out on it not being real.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Why was I telling?
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Why did I tell the story?
Speaker 3 (12:43):
Great question?
Speaker 2 (12:44):
I got lost, honestly because I was just getting to
that point of where did we get here?
Speaker 3 (12:48):
How did we get here?
Speaker 1 (12:49):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
We'll go back to people. You want us punch?
Speaker 1 (12:52):
Yeah, something about Ice Spice, Oh.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
That everyone told her that her Auntie haircut was nice.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Right, yes, yeah, and then somebody oh, and then the
little kid comes up to Ice Spice, you know, theoretically,
and says that looks like shit, and so now I
don't know what her hair looks like.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
Okay, did he get here?
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Kermit the Frog and his aka the oh oh the Mahomies. Oh, okay,
I get it.
Speaker 4 (13:16):
Patrick Ball, I was gonna say, if you want to
punch Kermit the frog and the.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Thing everyone loves Kermit Kanye, I mean, no explanation is needed.
All of the stupid motherfuckers doing their stupid motherfucking dances
on TikTok, the instances, et cetera. Why is this a thing, Alyssa,
You've instantly turned into my wife and complaining about people
on TikTok. No I think that's funny.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
I don't know. Yeah, I agree with Conye.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
You s for sure really enjoying these Casey Anthony, no
explanation needed. She deserves more than a single punch of
the face. But for the sake of this list, we'll
leave it be Joy Behar and Whipi Goldberg, count Is one,
jay Z and Beyonce count is one. The whole country
album debacle. I'm not over it yet. I admit I've
given this way too much thought. But mah, it's content
(14:02):
for you guys. All right, have a great day. The
real Alyssa from up North and I think it's a
play on my daughter Alison is Alison up North on Instagram.
Oh so, and that is gonna do it for the
Minnesota Goodbye, perfect. We desperately need your input because as
of today we are tapped out there. The well is dry,
(14:24):
there is no more. Send your email to Ryan's Show
at katiewb dot com, and I will say this one.
If you sent one in, we didn't read it. It's
usually because it's like a personal one, like Dave, here's
a TV show recommendation for you. Yeah, and I don't
always read those on the Minnesota Goodbye because you know,
it's a recommendation for me, maybe not for everybody.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
It's too long, So just remember we don't read super
super long emails.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Yeah, not really. Yeah. So anything else, questions, opinions, gripes,
whatever you want to write in about concerns. Yes, Ryan's
