Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, we are getting started with the Minnesota Goodbye.
Jenny has made a trip to the Little Girl DJ's room,
so she'll be a couple of minutes, but I don't
think she would mind us starting the Minnesota Goodbye. Oh yeah, Bailey,
and I hears something that you and I were discussing
off the air, kind of a cerebral conversation, and you
had asked a question.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Yeah, I was wondering, like, what if Dave ever thinks
about like the eighties, like what it was like to
live in the eighties, Because that's what I think about,
even though I wasn't alive in the eighties.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
That's like the decade. I think, like, what would it
be like if I woke up and it was nineteen
eighty five, Like what would my life be like? And
I think about that weirdly often.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Okay, it was very very much like today in this way.
Everything looked the same. The colors were the same, the
vibrancy of the sun, the trees, the roads, everything was
the same. And you didn't think of it as anything novel, like, wow,
this is a really cool time we're living in.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
It was just life.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
It was just life, and the music was you know,
the eighties music, which now seems incredibly wonderful and nostalgic,
but it was just the current music.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
And the technology was you know, we thought we were
pretty cool because we had CDs and I'm not trying
to be silly, but that was We thought we were
about as advanced as we could possibly get. Cell Phones
were becoming more and more common. We call them car phones.
Back then they were actually mounted on the console of
your car and you had to have a curly Q
(01:28):
antenna on your window for your cellular phone. But we
I think one of the big things about the eighties
is we were not so divided. I never knew any
political affiliation of anybody that I worked with, and I
couldn't have cared less. And if you did find out
that they voted this way and you voted that way,
you would be like, Okay, where do you want to
go to get lunch? Who cares? So that was one
(01:49):
of the things. And I think that, you know, it's
like any era. You said this when you're in your twenties.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Yeah, yeah, so when you're obviously like I look back
on my twenties, which was like the twenty tens era
as like fond like I'll be Oh, I'll listen to
this song and be like, oh, man, this reminds me
of college, even though there were plenty of times in
my twenties where I was struggle busting through it.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
Oh true, same thing in the actings on.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
It like, oh that was my young adulthood, like wow,
good times.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
We all know this. Our minds tend to filter out.
I've got a meme here. I'm going to show it
to you. Yeah, and I'll describe it to you as
you're listening to the Minnesota Goodbye and it says nostalgia,
be like, and then it says twenty fourteen, and it's
got a ghostly unhappy face. But then in twenty twenty
four your current ghostly unhappy face thinks of it as wonderful.
I'm going to show it to you, even though we're
(02:39):
on the radio.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Yes see, like, oh, good times. I loved it.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
In twenty fourteen, you were miserable, but the twenty twenty
four you twenty twenty five now looks at that year
and says, that was a wonderful year. In the eighties,
I struggled a lot with I worked with some difficult people.
I worked with two very difficult people who I think
were hooking up and I was, you know, kind of
(03:04):
an odd ball and younger, and I didn't fit in
with them. But I did all the fucking work on
the show, and they would leave early to go they
would leave early to go play golf and do whatever,
while I would sit in my office at home and
write funny stuff for the next day show.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
So I struggled too. Yeah, but you.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Look back at that and you go, wow, I wish
I could wake up in nineteen eighty five again.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Yeah, I mean I think of that for like college too,
where like gosh, college, it would be so nice if
I could just live right next to all of my
friends and be in all of my clubs and like
be in an academic setting again. But then recently, within
the last few years, I found my blog from college
and I read through it. I was miserable, Like I
did not have a good time whatsoever. So it's definitely
(03:51):
like a rose colored glasses situation.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Curious, I was throwing a couple away, I was off
the microphone. What made you miserable?
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Like I would be interested in boys and they would
be treating me like garbage, and I I don't know,
like I was doing multiple like majors, and it was
hard because I was always taking more credits than I
needed to and I didn't know what I wanted to
do with my life and.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Blah blah blah.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
So it's interesting, Like I definitely recommend keeping a diary
or something because I wouldn't have remembered any of that
had I not read the blog that I wrote.
Speaker 5 (04:23):
You were that high school you're talking about college college? Yeah,
I feel like sorry, Dave. I also found something recently that,
like a few years ago, that I read that reminded
me of some like really hard times that I do
not remember going through.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
It's like you you like take them out of your
brain because through.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Those hard times, don't you think it's what it is.
It's like I worked with these difficult people and and
it was it, but but I made it through great.
So they, in hindsight, were no problem because I made
it through those difficult times. But what you miss are
the one full times. That's the way our mind works,
is you. I mean, our station was number one by
(05:05):
a mile. We were, you know, the only station in
the building, so we got all the attention. Radio was
one of the very few mediums of anything. Back then,
there was you know, print, TV and radio, and that
was it. So we were huge back then and now
we're you know it, it's radio is still huge and
(05:25):
a lot of fun. But yeah, we look at all
the wonderful fun things and all the fun things that
we did, and it seems so carefree, Yeah, because we
forget about all the work that we did to make that.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
Happen, all the hard stuff, all the hard stuff.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
I just I just like to imagine like waking up
to an alarm clock and hearing, you know, like.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Don't you want me baby on.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
The radio, and like drive in my like clunker, even
though it's not a clunker, it would have been in
modern car in the day.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
No, it would have been. I had a brand new
Toyota Mr two and if you look it up, it's
a little tiny ish sports car. And it was only
a sports car because it had a two seat. It
was a two seater and it had a spoiler on
the back, and oh my god, I thought I was hot.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
Shit.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
It was the first car, first new car that anybody
in my family had ever bought ever. Yeah, And I
remember getting that car and I was just living large
and life was good, all right, moving on, we got
started without Eugenny. I knew you wouldn't mind thea you'll
mind at all. I kind of figured, Okay, so our
(06:28):
friend Juanita is here. I'm going to give a shout out,
a special shout out to Juanita because we met her.
We've met her several times. She came to the Bark
in the park. She was so funny. She's wearing her
Juanita jersey and she is I just I just love her.
She's funny and she's a smart ass. And she brought
us all unexpected gifts. She brought two toys for Bernie,
(06:50):
a taco and is some more and he carries them
around and he puts them. He takes all of his
toys and he puts them in his bed. Then he
lays next to his bed, pulls out a toy and
choose on it. So it's just adorable. And then she
also brought pizzas for everybody too.
Speaker 6 (07:05):
It was so good.
Speaker 5 (07:06):
I ate mine immediately that evening, and then I put
it on my radar lot yesterday.
Speaker 6 (07:10):
It's home run in It's like Chicago's Frozen Pizza. You
can get it. A targeting stuff you don't got to
go to Chicago's.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
I thought about you when I saw mine in the freezer.
I'm saving mine for probably another time. Did you eat?
How much of the pizza did you eat? Be cause
you're you're not an unhealthy eater.
Speaker 6 (07:26):
I ate half of it, that's my girl.
Speaker 5 (07:28):
Yeah, I ate half of it in one sitting, and
then I think like an hour later because it was
still sitting out on my counter. I had one more piece,
I think, and then the rest I saved for the
next day. But yeah, I realized I haven't ate pizza
in forever. Pizza used to be in my household a
lot when I lived with a different human, and I
don't think I've ate pizza in like four or five months.
Speaker 6 (07:49):
So I was like, I'm getting after this bad boy.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Bought house mine because he had to take mine with
him because I was going somewhere else, right, and he
still hasn't brought it in. He's like, you haven't reminded me.
Just look in your freezer, all.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
Right, here's one Needa with a weekly rant.
Speaker 7 (08:04):
Y'all have my favorite peeps, Dave. I just want to
let you know that it warms my heart to know
that Bernie is enjoying his door dash. Bernie is such
an adorable, energetic little dog. And Jenny, I told you
home run In always hits, always hits. The rest of
you all have to let me know what you all think.
So this week's rant is about group chat etiquette. So
(08:26):
the family group chat was made so that you know,
we could send out information to a whole group. Or like,
yesterday was my birthday, so everybody chimed in, happy birthday,
and they asked, you know, what are you doing for
your birthday? So I chimed in. I said, well, me
and my nephew are gonna go to Applebeast because me
and my nephew have the birthday on the same day,
So we're gonna go to Applebe's if anybody wants to come.
(08:48):
Everybody chimed in and say, yep, I'll be there.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
I'll be there.
Speaker 7 (08:50):
Boom, it's supposed to be over with. Nope, one asshole
has to take it to the left. So Aunt Linda
number one chimes in. She goes, hey, Brenda, remember when
we went to AppleVis at about five years ago and
the service was just bad. So then Brenda replies back, girl, yeah,
I remember the service was bad and the food. So
then Uncle Ronald chimes in, since when did you all
(09:12):
get together? I thought y'all couldn't stand each other. So
then Rhonda chimes in, Rona, how would you remember anything?
And you always drunk? Chimes in what Rhanda? Why are
you talking about somebody else? Didn't nobody talk about you
when you was running around sleeping, sleeping around with everybody's
husband from down south wants to chime in, oh, my god,
(09:34):
riding the Please don't tell me you still horn around.
So then he comes cousin Luke Nuke to chime in,
all ship, where the hole's at?
Speaker 3 (09:42):
I'm like, come one out of here, all this.
Speaker 7 (09:47):
Shit that, but I'm at work in my phone and
just steady ding ding ding ding ding ding, And how
the fuck did we go from happy birthday to your hole?
Speaker 4 (09:56):
And where the holes at?
Speaker 5 (09:57):
Come on?
Speaker 4 (09:58):
That shit pisses me the fuck off. That might have
been my favorite one. Oh, just all the names, just.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
All the names, Uncle ron.
Speaker 4 (10:10):
Oh my god, heavy, belated birthday. We love you.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
I feel that though. That's definitely a thing. The group
chat at a kid.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
I remove myself because there are people in my family
that and they're delightful. They're wonderful people. I don't want
my phone going off all the time with like another
funny meme or oh look, here's Barack Obama holding Laura
Bush in the CEO coldplay thing. You know what, I
I just I don't want it, so I will leave
(10:40):
the group chat.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
And then it makes it a big deal. It says
Dave has left the chat.
Speaker 4 (10:44):
Oh and Susan's done the same thing.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
So it you know, I've tried. Here's a funny thing
I've tried to start with with my kids once in
a while. I haven't done it a while. Hey, good
morning to all my kids. Just want to say I
love you, and I'll get a heart emoji from Beth
and that's it. The rest of them nothing. Carson went
to see his brother Chase and baby Gwen yesterday because
Carson's on tour with Jake Scott. Yeah, and they were
(11:07):
in Phoenix yesterday and so Chase lives outside of Phoenix
in Mesa, so he Carson went over there all on
his own. Wow, didn't have to encourage him. And he's
holding baby Gwen and it's so cute.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
Well, that's sweet. I'm glad he went.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
I'm going to show you the picture, even though again
I hate doing this on the radio because you know,
showing pictures on the radio is like everybody will react like,
oh wow, that's so cute.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Well, you can imagine Carson in your brain and then
imagine him holding an adorable baby. Who I'm done, I
helped you.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
Look at the.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Smile on their face, and that's little Gwinn. And little
Gwinn is also just a big smile.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
When is so cute as like a baby, Like her
mouth is huge, I mean in a nice way.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
She looks so much like Chase did at that age.
I mean, just like crazy. All right, another email, let
me make sure the wave form is working correctly. It
looks like it is good. Here's Timmy says. I was
listening to the No Girls Around episode on my way
home and I heard Jenny talk about how the speedometer
at her camper van is off. Reminded me of a
car used to have. The speedometer did not work at
(12:10):
all as an eighty seven Chevy Cavalier Z twenty four
all digital dashboard except for the RPM tachometer gauge, which
was analog. One day, something must have popped because the
speedometer doesn't work anymore.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
It went dark.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Now, when I had this car, it was already seven
years old and I was eighteen. I didn't have any
money to fix it. So me and a buddy got
on a backcountry road and in five mile increments from
twenty five miles an hour to sixty miles an hour.
I followed him and took note of what my odometer
or tachometer was saying. So I figured that if I'm
doing this rpm, i must be going fifty miles an hour. Man,
(12:45):
if I'm doing this rpm, I'm going sixty miles an hour. Hey,
it worked. I'm not sure how accurate is, but I
never got a ticket for speeding. Fortunately in twenty twenty five. Jenny,
you don't have to do that. You can use a
speedometer app on your phone to see how exactly how
off the speedometer is in your camper van. Enjoy your week.
Speaker 5 (13:05):
Yes, I always just have usually like Google Maps plugged in, right,
that's the one really that it shows you how fast
you're going, and then it also shows you the speed
limit in that area. So I'm always able to like
kind of reference where I'm at. But I'm usually like
speeding a little bit However, my fan doesn't get that fast.
So and right now it actually has zero miles per
hour because it doesn't even fucking work.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
She's mad. She's my pride.
Speaker 6 (13:30):
Last night I did I had a breakdown.
Speaker 5 (13:32):
Yeah, I tried to jump it for a fucking hour
and I was like, it's just dead. I haven't drove
it in a while, haven't taken it out in like
two months. And then I posted some videos on Instagram
and Fallon actually FaceTime me right away because she's on
a trip with her family and her brother in law.
Davy is very mechanical. Yeah, and he walked me through
a bunch of stuff. He's like, yeah, your battery, Like
you need a new battery. He's like, I'm almost positive,
(13:53):
So you're gonna have to take this bowl, do this,
blah blah blah, take it out the batteries. He said,
probably weighs about eighty pounds because it's a big ass battery. Yeah,
and I got to take it into an auto parts store.
If they test it and it still works, then that
means something else is wrong with it. If they tested
it it doesn't work, then hopefully that'll be the solution. However,
I didn't have that on my agenda for the week,
(14:13):
and I have a lot of shit going on today
and tomorrow, and you wanted.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
To take the van out somewhere and get away this weekend.
Speaker 5 (14:18):
I really thought that it was just dead. I knew
it was dead because I tried to start it a
couple of weeks ago, but I didn't have time to
figure it out.
Speaker 6 (14:24):
But I really just thought I just had to jump it.
That's all I thought it was.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
But no, yeah, it's probably dead. Yeah, that happened with Carson.
We were on our way to California four three or
four years ago and in Worthington, Minnesota, we stopped to
get gas in it would not start click click click
click click click. Battery was dead. We got to jump.
We drove to Sioux Falls. They got us in right away,
got a new battery, So it's very likely the battery.
Speaker 5 (14:44):
We didn't even get my car to start though, like
I can't even you were able to get to actually start.
Speaker 4 (14:49):
No, we got it.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
To click click click click click as you turn the ignition,
and somebody came by from Triple A with a jumper
whatever you call it, started us and we drove NonStop
without turning the car off until because once you get
it started, it's gonna run.
Speaker 5 (15:02):
That's what I'm saying is I can't even get it
started right. I'm pretty sure the battery is fully dead,
so I have to yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
You battery, Hello morning show crew. I listened religiously to
the Minnesota goodbye, says Katie, and on Sunday I turned
the podcast on before my four hour drive home, and
you know what I heard, pussy stacks. I haven't been
able to get this image out of my mind since
that is all love you guys. I don't know if
(15:29):
we should redescribe what that is.
Speaker 6 (15:31):
They can go back and listen, go back and listen.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
No, I don't want to. I don't.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
I don't think there's I don't like doing a lot
of that stuff because it's like, it's kind of like
hearing your dad talk about stuff like that. Is like
the one time my dad said motherfucker in front of me.
I'd never heard him swear more than God damn it.
Because Donna was driving. She got stuck in the snow
and the dad said, don't stop, don't stop, you'll get stuck,
and she stopped and he said God damn it. And
I'd never heard my dad swear. And then one time
(15:58):
he was telling me a story and he said, and
I told this motherfucker, And I'm like, certain things you
don't want to hear from certain people.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
My dad talks in a very different way to my
sister than he does to me, where they are like
friendly to each other, like friends, and I.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
Talk to my dad like he is my father.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
I understand.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Yeah, And it is very weird to like just overhear
what they're saying to each other in my Oh, gosh, I.
Speaker 4 (16:21):
Know what you mean. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
I think my brother talked to my dad in friendly
terms and my dad and I spoke in you know, respectful,
respectful time. And what are you doing this weekend? Exactly
have you been enjoying your job? Hello, morning show says Aaron.
Had to chime in with my favorite swear words. So
I used to spend a lot of time at church
as a youth, with all the Bible camp and youth
(16:43):
nights and so on. My church friends are still some
of my best friends, but back then we cause a
lot of trouble for our youth pastors. She was our
good friend's mom and we grew up with her as
a church school leader. Blah blah blah. Once during a sermon,
our pastor accidentally said shit during a sermon. Took that
and ran Pastor tim swore, so we all get one
swear word. Somebody counted us down from three to one
(17:06):
and at one we would say say our favorite swear word.
Somehow the word fuck shit bitch is what stuck in
his Now my favorite swear word. We were a rowdy bunch,
so God bless our youth director for putting up with us.
Speaker 4 (17:20):
XO XO.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Aaron not a regular pastor, He's a cool pastor.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
Yeah, next one, don't say my name. This is really interesting,
and I bet a lot of people can relate. I've
been on maternity leave for a while now. It is
so boring. I was super excited to have the summer
off in quotes from maternity Leaf, not realizing that a
tiny baby cannot be outside in ninety degree weather or
(17:45):
the poor air quality. The only time I get to
go outside is in the evening when the sun's going down,
like eight o'clock, for a walk with my family, or
run into neighbors to chit chat for a short amount
of time. I'm too afraid to leave my baby alone
for longer than just go into the bathroom, So going
outside without is not even an option, even with the
baby monitor camera. What have other moms done to keep
(18:08):
busy during maternity leave. It's been hard to go outside
in public because of her inconsistent wake windows. But we've
been going out to Target at the grocery store sometimes,
but there's still not enough stimulation for myself.
Speaker 4 (18:22):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
I don't have any idea, but I'll bet you a
lot of other moms are going me too.
Speaker 6 (18:29):
Gosh, let me.
Speaker 5 (18:31):
I'm gonna google right now what to do on mater
because I don't know. I mean, I obviously have had
friends that have had kids, but I don't honestly really know.
I think that they're so consumed with kids. I don't
know that they're doing a whole ton to I kind
of agree, yeah, right, you're just sleeping when they can.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
My impression is that they're busy taking care of the baby.
The baby will sleep, and well, the baby's sleeping, that's
when you get to clean the bathroom or get your
grocery or not grocery, but you know, do the things
around the house, laundry or whatever.
Speaker 5 (19:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
So I've never honestly I've never heard of a mom
say that she was so bored. Maybe lonely, Yeah, I
don't know.
Speaker 5 (19:10):
I think crafting is always a good thing. Like what
is it called, bailey, when you like put thread through
a little circular crusted I love crusted those. I feel
like I always want to get those little packs when
you see them, like a coffee embroidery or Yeah, that
would be fun because that kind of like works a
different part of your brain probably than when you're working
raising a baby.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
You know, play video games. I love Stardoo Valley.
Speaker 5 (19:34):
If you want to do something for the baby, you
could do a baby journal. You can put together like
the first you know, the firsts of everything.
Speaker 4 (19:41):
Yeah, like yay.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
I will say that the most recent mother experience that
I've been familiar with her close to was Allison, and
she never got bored. What she do all the time
take care of the baby and clean and things.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
I don't remember.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
If all I was doing, though, is taking care of
my baby, and when my baby is sleeping, I'm cleaning,
I would be bored.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
I'd be like, this is it? This is all I got?
Speaker 2 (20:10):
Yeah, but audiobooks, I don't know, maybe clean and listen
to audiobooks, because then at least your brain is like
working and imagining things because you're listening to an audio book.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
If you have any advice for a mom like Alison
who's got two kids almost five and almost three, with
another one due in about a month, she already has
no time to engage in her things that she likes
to do. She'll have time for a happy hour whatever.
And her husband's really good with you know I say
(20:40):
helping out. I mean he's not helping out. He is
sharing the duties, but she is overwhelmed and it's like,
you're gonna have a third one. I don't know how
you're gonna do it, and she kind of just goes.
I know, if you have any tips for a mom
or dad of multiple kids that are young that really
they constantly need attention. And when I say constantly, I
(21:02):
mean yeah, you can put them in front of a
tablet or whatever, watch blue or whatever, but they're gonna
be like, I gotta.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
Go party, I'm hungry.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
Constantly or almost constantly. So if you have any tips
for a mom in a situation like that, let me
know and I'll pass them along here on the Minnesota
Goodbye or.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
A mom who's bored on maternity l oh, that would
work too.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Yeah, all right, Send anything you want to Ryan Show
at katiwb dot com and thank you for listening to
another episode of the Minnesota Goodbye
All right, we are getting started with the Minnesota Goodbye.
Jenny has made a trip to the Little Girl DJ's room,
so she'll be a couple of minutes, but I don't
think she would mind us starting the Minnesota Goodbye. Oh yeah, Bailey,
and I hears something that you and I were discussing
off the air, kind of a cerebral conversation, and you
had asked a question.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Yeah, I was wondering, like, what if Dave ever thinks
about like the eighties, like what it was like to
live in the eighties, Because that's what I think about,
even though I wasn't alive in the eighties.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
That's like the decade. I think, like, what would it
be like if I woke up and it was nineteen
eighty five, Like what would my life be like? And
I think about that weirdly often.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Okay, it was very very much like today in this way.
Everything looked the same. The colors were the same, the
vibrancy of the sun, the trees, the roads, everything was
the same. And you didn't think of it as anything novel, like, wow,
this is a really cool time we're living in.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
It was just life.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
It was just life, and the music was you know,
the eighties music, which now seems incredibly wonderful and nostalgic,
but it was just the current music.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
And the technology was you know, we thought we were
pretty cool because we had CDs and I'm not trying
to be silly, but that was We thought we were
about as advanced as we could possibly get. Cell Phones
were becoming more and more common. We call them car phones.
Back then they were actually mounted on the console of
your car and you had to have a curly Q
(01:28):
antenna on your window for your cellular phone. But we
I think one of the big things about the eighties
is we were not so divided. I never knew any
political affiliation of anybody that I worked with, and I
couldn't have cared less. And if you did find out
that they voted this way and you voted that way,
you would be like, Okay, where do you want to
go to get lunch? Who cares? So that was one
(01:49):
of the things. And I think that, you know, it's
like any era. You said this when you're in your twenties.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Yeah, yeah, so when you're obviously like I look back
on my twenties, which was like the twenty tens era
as like fond like I'll be Oh, I'll listen to
this song and be like, oh, man, this reminds me
of college, even though there were plenty of times in
my twenties where I was struggle busting through it.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
Oh true, same thing in the actings on.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
It like, oh that was my young adulthood, like wow,
good times.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
We all know this. Our minds tend to filter out.
I've got a meme here. I'm going to show it
to you. Yeah, and I'll describe it to you as
you're listening to the Minnesota Goodbye and it says nostalgia,
be like, and then it says twenty fourteen, and it's
got a ghostly unhappy face. But then in twenty twenty
four your current ghostly unhappy face thinks of it as wonderful.
I'm going to show it to you, even though we're
(02:39):
on the radio.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Yes see, like, oh, good times. I loved it.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
In twenty fourteen, you were miserable, but the twenty twenty
four you twenty twenty five now looks at that year
and says, that was a wonderful year. In the eighties,
I struggled a lot with I worked with some difficult people.
I worked with two very difficult people who I think
were hooking up and I was, you know, kind of
(03:04):
an odd ball and younger, and I didn't fit in
with them. But I did all the fucking work on
the show, and they would leave early to go they
would leave early to go play golf and do whatever,
while I would sit in my office at home and
write funny stuff for the next day show.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
So I struggled too. Yeah, but you.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Look back at that and you go, wow, I wish
I could wake up in nineteen eighty five again.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Yeah, I mean I think of that for like college too,
where like gosh, college, it would be so nice if
I could just live right next to all of my
friends and be in all of my clubs and like
be in an academic setting again. But then recently, within
the last few years, I found my blog from college
and I read through it. I was miserable, Like I
did not have a good time whatsoever. So it's definitely
(03:51):
like a rose colored glasses situation.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Curious, I was throwing a couple away, I was off
the microphone. What made you miserable?
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Like I would be interested in boys and they would
be treating me like garbage, and I I don't know,
like I was doing multiple like majors, and it was
hard because I was always taking more credits than I
needed to and I didn't know what I wanted to
do with my life and.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Blah blah blah.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
So it's interesting, Like I definitely recommend keeping a diary
or something because I wouldn't have remembered any of that
had I not read the blog that I wrote.
Speaker 5 (04:23):
You were that high school you're talking about college college? Yeah,
I feel like sorry, Dave. I also found something recently that,
like a few years ago, that I read that reminded
me of some like really hard times that I do
not remember going through.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
It's like you you like take them out of your
brain because through.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Those hard times, don't you think it's what it is.
It's like I worked with these difficult people and and
it was it, but but I made it through great.
So they, in hindsight, were no problem because I made
it through those difficult times. But what you miss are
the one full times. That's the way our mind works,
is you. I mean, our station was number one by
(05:05):
a mile. We were, you know, the only station in
the building, so we got all the attention. Radio was
one of the very few mediums of anything. Back then,
there was you know, print, TV and radio, and that
was it. So we were huge back then and now
we're you know it, it's radio is still huge and
(05:25):
a lot of fun. But yeah, we look at all
the wonderful fun things and all the fun things that
we did, and it seems so carefree, Yeah, because we
forget about all the work that we did to make that.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
Happen, all the hard stuff, all the hard stuff.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
I just I just like to imagine like waking up
to an alarm clock and hearing, you know, like.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Don't you want me baby on.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
The radio, and like drive in my like clunker, even
though it's not a clunker, it would have been in
modern car in the day.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
No, it would have been. I had a brand new
Toyota Mr two and if you look it up, it's
a little tiny ish sports car. And it was only
a sports car because it had a two seat. It
was a two seater and it had a spoiler on
the back, and oh my god, I thought I was hot.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
Shit.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
It was the first car, first new car that anybody
in my family had ever bought ever. Yeah, And I
remember getting that car and I was just living large
and life was good, all right, moving on, we got
started without Eugenny. I knew you wouldn't mind thea you'll
mind at all. I kind of figured, Okay, so our
(06:28):
friend Juanita is here. I'm going to give a shout out,
a special shout out to Juanita because we met her.
We've met her several times. She came to the Bark
in the park. She was so funny. She's wearing her
Juanita jersey and she is I just I just love her.
She's funny and she's a smart ass. And she brought
us all unexpected gifts. She brought two toys for Bernie,
(06:50):
a taco and is some more and he carries them
around and he puts them. He takes all of his
toys and he puts them in his bed. Then he
lays next to his bed, pulls out a toy and
choose on it. So it's just adorable. And then she
also brought pizzas for everybody too.
Speaker 6 (07:05):
It was so good.
Speaker 5 (07:06):
I ate mine immediately that evening, and then I put
it on my radar lot yesterday.
Speaker 6 (07:10):
It's home run in It's like Chicago's Frozen Pizza. You
can get it. A targeting stuff you don't got to
go to Chicago's.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
I thought about you when I saw mine in the freezer.
I'm saving mine for probably another time. Did you eat?
How much of the pizza did you eat? Be cause
you're you're not an unhealthy eater.
Speaker 6 (07:26):
I ate half of it, that's my girl.
Speaker 5 (07:28):
Yeah, I ate half of it in one sitting, and
then I think like an hour later because it was
still sitting out on my counter. I had one more piece,
I think, and then the rest I saved for the
next day. But yeah, I realized I haven't ate pizza
in forever. Pizza used to be in my household a
lot when I lived with a different human, and I
don't think I've ate pizza in like four or five months.
Speaker 6 (07:49):
So I was like, I'm getting after this bad boy.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Bought house mine because he had to take mine with
him because I was going somewhere else, right, and he
still hasn't brought it in. He's like, you haven't reminded me.
Just look in your freezer, all.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
Right, here's one Needa with a weekly rant.
Speaker 7 (08:04):
Y'all have my favorite peeps, Dave. I just want to
let you know that it warms my heart to know
that Bernie is enjoying his door dash. Bernie is such
an adorable, energetic little dog. And Jenny, I told you
home run In always hits, always hits. The rest of
you all have to let me know what you all think.
So this week's rant is about group chat etiquette. So
(08:26):
the family group chat was made so that you know,
we could send out information to a whole group. Or like,
yesterday was my birthday, so everybody chimed in, happy birthday,
and they asked, you know, what are you doing for
your birthday? So I chimed in. I said, well, me
and my nephew are gonna go to Applebeast because me
and my nephew have the birthday on the same day,
So we're gonna go to Applebe's if anybody wants to come.
(08:48):
Everybody chimed in and say, yep, I'll be there.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
I'll be there.
Speaker 7 (08:50):
Boom, it's supposed to be over with. Nope, one asshole
has to take it to the left. So Aunt Linda
number one chimes in. She goes, hey, Brenda, remember when
we went to AppleVis at about five years ago and
the service was just bad. So then Brenda replies back, girl, yeah,
I remember the service was bad and the food. So
then Uncle Ronald chimes in, since when did you all
(09:12):
get together? I thought y'all couldn't stand each other. So
then Rhonda chimes in, Rona, how would you remember anything?
And you always drunk? Chimes in what Rhanda? Why are
you talking about somebody else? Didn't nobody talk about you
when you was running around sleeping, sleeping around with everybody's
husband from down south wants to chime in, oh, my god,
(09:34):
riding the Please don't tell me you still horn around.
So then he comes cousin Luke Nuke to chime in,
all ship, where the hole's at?
Speaker 3 (09:42):
I'm like, come one out of here, all this.
Speaker 7 (09:47):
Shit that, but I'm at work in my phone and
just steady ding ding ding ding ding ding, And how
the fuck did we go from happy birthday to your hole?
Speaker 4 (09:56):
And where the holes at?
Speaker 5 (09:57):
Come on?
Speaker 4 (09:58):
That shit pisses me the fuck off. That might have
been my favorite one. Oh, just all the names, just.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
All the names, Uncle ron.
Speaker 4 (10:10):
Oh my god, heavy, belated birthday. We love you.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
I feel that though. That's definitely a thing. The group
chat at a kid.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
I remove myself because there are people in my family
that and they're delightful. They're wonderful people. I don't want
my phone going off all the time with like another
funny meme or oh look, here's Barack Obama holding Laura
Bush in the CEO coldplay thing. You know what, I
I just I don't want it, so I will leave
(10:40):
the group chat.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
And then it makes it a big deal. It says
Dave has left the chat.
Speaker 4 (10:44):
Oh and Susan's done the same thing.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
So it you know, I've tried. Here's a funny thing
I've tried to start with with my kids once in
a while. I haven't done it a while. Hey, good
morning to all my kids. Just want to say I
love you, and I'll get a heart emoji from Beth
and that's it. The rest of them nothing. Carson went
to see his brother Chase and baby Gwen yesterday because
Carson's on tour with Jake Scott. Yeah, and they were
(11:07):
in Phoenix yesterday and so Chase lives outside of Phoenix
in Mesa, so he Carson went over there all on
his own. Wow, didn't have to encourage him. And he's
holding baby Gwen and it's so cute.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
Well, that's sweet. I'm glad he went.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
I'm going to show you the picture, even though again
I hate doing this on the radio because you know,
showing pictures on the radio is like everybody will react like,
oh wow, that's so cute.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Well, you can imagine Carson in your brain and then
imagine him holding an adorable baby. Who I'm done, I
helped you.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
Look at the.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Smile on their face, and that's little Gwinn. And little
Gwinn is also just a big smile.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
When is so cute as like a baby, Like her
mouth is huge, I mean in a nice way.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
She looks so much like Chase did at that age.
I mean, just like crazy. All right, another email, let
me make sure the wave form is working correctly. It
looks like it is good. Here's Timmy says. I was
listening to the No Girls Around episode on my way
home and I heard Jenny talk about how the speedometer
at her camper van is off. Reminded me of a
car used to have. The speedometer did not work at
(12:10):
all as an eighty seven Chevy Cavalier Z twenty four
all digital dashboard except for the RPM tachometer gauge, which
was analog. One day, something must have popped because the
speedometer doesn't work anymore.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
It went dark.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Now, when I had this car, it was already seven
years old and I was eighteen. I didn't have any
money to fix it. So me and a buddy got
on a backcountry road and in five mile increments from
twenty five miles an hour to sixty miles an hour.
I followed him and took note of what my odometer
or tachometer was saying. So I figured that if I'm
doing this rpm, i must be going fifty miles an hour. Man,
(12:45):
if I'm doing this rpm, I'm going sixty miles an hour. Hey,
it worked. I'm not sure how accurate is, but I
never got a ticket for speeding. Fortunately in twenty twenty five. Jenny,
you don't have to do that. You can use a
speedometer app on your phone to see how exactly how
off the speedometer is in your camper van. Enjoy your week.
Speaker 5 (13:05):
Yes, I always just have usually like Google Maps plugged in, right,
that's the one really that it shows you how fast
you're going, and then it also shows you the speed
limit in that area. So I'm always able to like
kind of reference where I'm at. But I'm usually like
speeding a little bit However, my fan doesn't get that fast.
So and right now it actually has zero miles per
hour because it doesn't even fucking work.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
She's mad. She's my pride.
Speaker 6 (13:30):
Last night I did I had a breakdown.
Speaker 5 (13:32):
Yeah, I tried to jump it for a fucking hour
and I was like, it's just dead. I haven't drove
it in a while, haven't taken it out in like
two months. And then I posted some videos on Instagram
and Fallon actually FaceTime me right away because she's on
a trip with her family and her brother in law.
Davy is very mechanical. Yeah, and he walked me through
a bunch of stuff. He's like, yeah, your battery, Like
you need a new battery. He's like, I'm almost positive,
(13:53):
So you're gonna have to take this bowl, do this,
blah blah blah, take it out the batteries. He said,
probably weighs about eighty pounds because it's a big ass battery. Yeah,
and I got to take it into an auto parts store.
If they test it and it still works, then that
means something else is wrong with it. If they tested
it it doesn't work, then hopefully that'll be the solution. However,
I didn't have that on my agenda for the week,
(14:13):
and I have a lot of shit going on today
and tomorrow, and you wanted.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
To take the van out somewhere and get away this weekend.
Speaker 5 (14:18):
I really thought that it was just dead. I knew
it was dead because I tried to start it a
couple of weeks ago, but I didn't have time to
figure it out.
Speaker 6 (14:24):
But I really just thought I just had to jump it.
That's all I thought it was.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
But no, yeah, it's probably dead. Yeah, that happened with Carson.
We were on our way to California four three or
four years ago and in Worthington, Minnesota, we stopped to
get gas in it would not start click click click
click click click. Battery was dead. We got to jump.
We drove to Sioux Falls. They got us in right away,
got a new battery, So it's very likely the battery.
Speaker 5 (14:44):
We didn't even get my car to start though, like
I can't even you were able to get to actually start.
Speaker 4 (14:49):
No, we got it.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
To click click click click click as you turn the ignition,
and somebody came by from Triple A with a jumper
whatever you call it, started us and we drove NonStop
without turning the car off until because once you get
it started, it's gonna run.
Speaker 5 (15:02):
That's what I'm saying is I can't even get it
started right. I'm pretty sure the battery is fully dead,
so I have to yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
You battery, Hello morning show crew. I listened religiously to
the Minnesota goodbye, says Katie, and on Sunday I turned
the podcast on before my four hour drive home, and
you know what I heard, pussy stacks. I haven't been
able to get this image out of my mind since
that is all love you guys. I don't know if
(15:29):
we should redescribe what that is.
Speaker 6 (15:31):
They can go back and listen, go back and listen.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
No, I don't want to. I don't.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
I don't think there's I don't like doing a lot
of that stuff because it's like, it's kind of like
hearing your dad talk about stuff like that. Is like
the one time my dad said motherfucker in front of me.
I'd never heard him swear more than God damn it.
Because Donna was driving. She got stuck in the snow
and the dad said, don't stop, don't stop, you'll get stuck,
and she stopped and he said God damn it. And
I'd never heard my dad swear. And then one time
(15:58):
he was telling me a story and he said, and
I told this motherfucker, And I'm like, certain things you
don't want to hear from certain people.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
My dad talks in a very different way to my
sister than he does to me, where they are like
friendly to each other, like friends, and I.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
Talk to my dad like he is my father.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
I understand.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Yeah, And it is very weird to like just overhear
what they're saying to each other in my Oh, gosh, I.
Speaker 4 (16:21):
Know what you mean. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
I think my brother talked to my dad in friendly
terms and my dad and I spoke in you know, respectful,
respectful time. And what are you doing this weekend? Exactly
have you been enjoying your job? Hello, morning show says Aaron.
Had to chime in with my favorite swear words. So
I used to spend a lot of time at church
as a youth, with all the Bible camp and youth
(16:43):
nights and so on. My church friends are still some
of my best friends, but back then we cause a
lot of trouble for our youth pastors. She was our
good friend's mom and we grew up with her as
a church school leader. Blah blah blah. Once during a sermon,
our pastor accidentally said shit during a sermon. Took that
and ran Pastor tim swore, so we all get one
swear word. Somebody counted us down from three to one
(17:06):
and at one we would say say our favorite swear word.
Somehow the word fuck shit bitch is what stuck in
his Now my favorite swear word. We were a rowdy bunch,
so God bless our youth director for putting up with us.
Speaker 4 (17:20):
XO XO.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Aaron not a regular pastor, He's a cool pastor.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
Yeah, next one, don't say my name. This is really interesting,
and I bet a lot of people can relate. I've
been on maternity leave for a while now. It is
so boring. I was super excited to have the summer
off in quotes from maternity Leaf, not realizing that a
tiny baby cannot be outside in ninety degree weather or
(17:45):
the poor air quality. The only time I get to
go outside is in the evening when the sun's going down,
like eight o'clock, for a walk with my family, or
run into neighbors to chit chat for a short amount
of time. I'm too afraid to leave my baby alone
for longer than just go into the bathroom, So going
outside without is not even an option, even with the
baby monitor camera. What have other moms done to keep
(18:08):
busy during maternity leave. It's been hard to go outside
in public because of her inconsistent wake windows. But we've
been going out to Target at the grocery store sometimes,
but there's still not enough stimulation for myself.
Speaker 4 (18:22):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
I don't have any idea, but I'll bet you a
lot of other moms are going me too.
Speaker 6 (18:29):
Gosh, let me.
Speaker 5 (18:31):
I'm gonna google right now what to do on mater
because I don't know. I mean, I obviously have had
friends that have had kids, but I don't honestly really know.
I think that they're so consumed with kids. I don't
know that they're doing a whole ton to I kind
of agree, yeah, right, you're just sleeping when they can.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
My impression is that they're busy taking care of the baby.
The baby will sleep, and well, the baby's sleeping, that's
when you get to clean the bathroom or get your
grocery or not grocery, but you know, do the things
around the house, laundry or whatever.
Speaker 5 (19:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
So I've never honestly I've never heard of a mom
say that she was so bored. Maybe lonely, Yeah, I
don't know.
Speaker 5 (19:10):
I think crafting is always a good thing. Like what
is it called, bailey, when you like put thread through
a little circular crusted I love crusted those. I feel
like I always want to get those little packs when
you see them, like a coffee embroidery or Yeah, that
would be fun because that kind of like works a
different part of your brain probably than when you're working
raising a baby.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
You know, play video games. I love Stardoo Valley.
Speaker 5 (19:34):
If you want to do something for the baby, you
could do a baby journal. You can put together like
the first you know, the firsts of everything.
Speaker 4 (19:41):
Yeah, like yay.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
I will say that the most recent mother experience that
I've been familiar with her close to was Allison, and
she never got bored. What she do all the time
take care of the baby and clean and things.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
I don't remember.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
If all I was doing, though, is taking care of
my baby, and when my baby is sleeping, I'm cleaning,
I would be bored.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
I'd be like, this is it? This is all I got?
Speaker 2 (20:10):
Yeah, but audiobooks, I don't know, maybe clean and listen
to audiobooks, because then at least your brain is like
working and imagining things because you're listening to an audio book.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
If you have any advice for a mom like Alison
who's got two kids almost five and almost three, with
another one due in about a month, she already has
no time to engage in her things that she likes
to do. She'll have time for a happy hour whatever.
And her husband's really good with you know I say
(20:40):
helping out. I mean he's not helping out. He is
sharing the duties, but she is overwhelmed and it's like,
you're gonna have a third one. I don't know how
you're gonna do it, and she kind of just goes.
I know, if you have any tips for a mom
or dad of multiple kids that are young that really
they constantly need attention. And when I say constantly, I
(21:02):
mean yeah, you can put them in front of a
tablet or whatever, watch blue or whatever, but they're gonna
be like, I gotta.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
Go party, I'm hungry.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
Constantly or almost constantly. So if you have any tips
for a mom in a situation like that, let me
know and I'll pass them along here on the Minnesota
Goodbye or.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
A mom who's bored on maternity l oh, that would
work too.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Yeah, all right, Send anything you want to Ryan Show
at katiwb dot com and thank you for listening to
