Speaker 1 (00:00):
Minnesota. Goodbye. Let's start off with this one. You guys
are part of my morning routine. Jenny in the morning
zoo is great and we'll welcome that full time when
it is time. Which is it now? Lol? This or
Mike by the way, but happy the band is back together.
When you have time off from work, how long does
it take before one you start thinking about work, two
(00:22):
you think about your co workers, or three you dread
the return to work? See you Friday at cub and
that is from Mike. Okay, when you go on vacation,
how long does it take before you start thinking about work?
I kind of am really good at shutting it off enough,
but I never really shut it completely down because I'm
always looking for ideas like, oh, that's something funny that happened.
(00:44):
I'll put it in my phone or you know, make
a mental note or whatever. How often you think about
your coworkers? I mean, you know, I love you guys,
but it's not like I'm going, God, what's Jenny doing
right now?
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (00:57):
You know? Oh yeah? And how long before or you
dread the return to work? I don't really dread the
return to work. I mean, I like I dread getting
up early, I dread the alarm going off. But yeah,
I don't really have a problem with that. What about
you guys.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
I think mine's a little bit different. It's it's evolved
over the years. I'm used to I used to get
very stressed when I would take vacation because truthfully, you
guys relied on me for so much back in the day,
and now I've got like Bailey and volunteer, and it
was just a different dynamic back then.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
So, like, you know, I was.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
Getting texts about things and all of this stuff when
I would be on vacation, and so I feel like
I didn't get to turn it off a lot of
times because I had to be there to help you
guys with certain stuff, which was fine, but I just
like took on the pressure of being stressed, leaving you
guys hanging, even though I earned my vacation days, right,
So I think I used to think about it a lot,
But now my brain is like, vacation, baby, let go
(01:56):
dread going back to work if it's a longer vacation,
and I feel like that hits me the last couple
of days of it. If it's a short like couple
days off, I don't feel like that's enough time for
me to.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Feel one way or I'm not sure, right, yeah.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
But yeah, I've honestly only gone on a two day
vacation since starting here.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
But you've got a week or two now, right, Well.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
Next in a couple of weeks, I'll be gone for
like three or four days. Okay, Yeah, so I can
report back to you there. But like I'm always thinking,
if something happens, I'll write it down. But mostly if
you guys are on vacation and I think about something
that I want to tell you, I feel weird texting you.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
But like I had to tell you last week that I.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
Sat next to some Mormons at Costco and what they
were talking about, because I was like, Dave might think
this is interesting.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
What were they tell you? Did say me that I
don't remember that.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
It was like they were on It was kind of
like a first date because they were like, so, what
kind of music are you interested in? And we were
talking about Mormons or something, so it was on my
brain that would be interested.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
But yeah, mostly I'm just thinking, like, oh, I can't
bother them because they're on vacation. But sometimes you I
don't mind.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
I don't mind because it's a friend kind of a thing. Yeah, like, yeah, okay,
let's do I think it is time for Ranger Jessica.
I want to make sure I got her name right. Yeah,
Ranger Jessica. You ready, I'm ready. Let me find the
button to push, and here we go with a fun
fact from a real park ranger.
Speaker 5 (03:21):
Hello, Ranger Jessica. Do you know why it's snowing in May?
That white fluff floating around and getting on everything is
actually the seeds of the cottonwood tree. The cottonwoods are huge,
gigantic floodplain tree species, and they release their seeds at
about the same time that the floodwaters from the Mississippi
River are receding. And that's so that these teeny tiny
(03:43):
seeds will land in the mud that's left behind after
the floodwater receeds. And these trees are incredible. They can
grow up to six feet in their first year, so
they are super fast growing. And they also have a
star shape on the inside. There's a very cool Native
America can tail. But why that star is there? So
if you crack open a branch of a cottonwood, you'll
(04:05):
see the star inside the cottonoo trees. I could talk
about those trees forever. They are amazing, But just wanted
to let you know why it's snowing in May.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Range Route Range Route Cool, jess a question for you
because I walked through him Intewahta Park and there are
giant cottonwood trees that two people would have trouble ramping
their arms around together. How old are those trees? Do
they go back before pre European times like four hundred,
five hundred years? Are they one hundred years old? My
(04:35):
friend Curtis lives over in Saint Paul and they say
the oldest tree in Saint Paul is in his backyard.
Oh how does he know this? Because he was looking
out his back window one time and it's not like
you know, it's not like it's got an alley, it's
not fenced off, and there's a bunch of girl scouts
out there, and so he wanders outside. It's like, Hey,
what's going on. They're like, this is the oldest tree
(04:56):
in Saint Paul, And I would say maybe three people
would have trouble wrapping their arms around. It's you've never
seen anything like it huge. So, Ranger Jessica, tell me
how long cottonwood trees grow because you walk through like
a path by your house and see a giant cottonwood tree.
Is it one hundred years old or is it four
hundred years old?
Speaker 4 (05:16):
If it grows that fast in one year, six feet
in one year, then maybe it's relatively young.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
It just grows fast.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Let me know.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
There's a really big tree right by the Lake of
the Aisles and it had been marked to get like
cut down, and somebody, I don't know, tree activist or
something put a sign on it that like dated it,
and so it said, like, this tree is this many
years old, This tree has seen all of these historic events.
Do not cut down this tree. And they didn't cut
down the tree. So I don't know how old was it.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
Do you remember?
Speaker 4 (05:45):
Oh it was like I don't like one hundred and
fifty years old or something, and it said, like this
tree is older than anyone who's living on earth today.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Sure yeah, And like here's all of the things that
this tree has seen in this area.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Well, this is what I like to think about, to
look at an old tree like that and think this
predates Europeans coming here, like like a Native American might
have leaned against this tree, or you know, walked by
this tree or walked around this tree, and I like
to think about that, and the same thing in Colorado.
(06:18):
The trees on the brea where I live in Colorado,
they can be about two hundred or three hundred years old,
well before Europeans came, and I like to think how
many natives from two hundred or four hundred years ago
walked right by this tree.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
History is fascinating, it.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Really is, you know, Okay, next one writes in, I
want to say love listening to the show every morning.
Oh please don't say my name, so I will go
back and I will delete your name. I need some advice.
I've been in my current job for a while now,
and honestly, I do absolutely nothing. I am bored out
of my mind. It's starting to feel like my brain
is turning to much. I'm always asking for more to do,
(06:57):
but there just isn't much work coming in my way.
Frustrating because I'd like to stay busy and challenged. I'm
wondering if I should wait it out and hope things
pick up, or if this is a sign I should
start looking for something new. I'm nervous about making another
move too quickly, but I also don't want to waste
my time in a role that's not helping me. Any
advice on how to handle this kind of situation. Should
I stick it out or start the job search? Thanks
(07:18):
so much, Love you guys. First reaction is start the
job search, because if it concerns you enough that you're
writing into the Minnesota Goodbye, then it's concerning enough that
you just need to leave.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
Well if you're asking to, if you're asking for more
work and they're not giving you more work, I wonder
if you ask for more work in conjunction with saying
if I don't get more work, I'm going to find
another job, if they would give them more impetus to
give you more work.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
There is also the risk that if you ask that
they'll be like, oh, then we don't need your position.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
True.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
A friend of mine worked for She was an office
manager and during the pandemic, nobody came into the office anymore,
so she literally had nothing to do. She would try
to find things to do, but she couldn't find anything
to do, so she put up you know, she started
printing up a company newsletter. Okay, well, that kept her
(08:09):
busy for an hour or two a week, but Eventually
they looked at her and she was making eighty thousand
dollars a year doing nothing. Yeah, and she was not
lazy at all, but she got laid off because they realized,
we're paying you eighty thousand dollars a year, we don't
need you.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
I'll be honest, when people say that they don't have
enough work and like aren't given more work, that surprises
me a little bit. I know I don't understand everyone's jobs,
but like anytime I've been in a job like that,
I have made work for myself. So honestly, before I
got on the Day Ryan Show, I used to be
on a morning show down the Hall, and I had
(08:47):
such little responsibility that I just started like going across
to a different studio, learning from another guy who did
all this production, and like learning different things, and I
would just like infiltrate myself into different stuff to make
sure I had work to do, because I was just
sitting in a studio pretty much every morning doing barely anything.
(09:07):
So I feel like there's always something you can figure
out to do. I obviously can't speak for every industry,
but I really feel like there's something you can figure
out to do.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
When I worked at Sambo's back when I was a kid.
That was my summer job between junior and senior year.
The boss said, there is never an excuse to sit
around doing nothing. There is always something to do. My
title was dishwasher, but that also meant toilet cleaner. Yes,
supply bringer in her truck, onloader anything. He said, if
(09:38):
you ever find yourself with nothing to do, you're not
doing your job. There's always something to do, so I
can't imagine. And same with this job. There's always something
we could be working on, answering emails, writing new bits,
writing whatever. All right, Janita is here with her rant.
And did you not play Janita's rant when I was
here last week?
Speaker 2 (09:56):
I want to.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
I wanted you to hear it. Yeah, I want to
hear it too. I'm glad that I didn't miss hit. Okay,
here we go on eat.
Speaker 6 (10:02):
Hey, Hey, y'all, So this week's rent is about white
people that want black people to do white people shit. Now,
let me explain. So this past holiday, we were hanging
out with our friends and family, and the one couple
who we've been friends with for like over twenty years.
They're always asking us to do shit. They just know
black people don't do. One weekend, they asked us to
(10:25):
go bungee jumping, not happening. The next time, they asked
us to go canoeing, not getting in the water. They
wanted us to go to a pool party. Black people
will go to the pool party, but they ain't getting
in a damn pool. So just this past murial, I
mean just this past holiday. So they said that we
should all we should go camping with them. I'm not
fucking going camping. I'm not sleeping outside of the tent.
(10:47):
You know, we don't do that. Stop asking me that
I am not sleeping outside. Black people normally don't sleep
outside unless they get evicted. Now sleeping outside the tent
anywhere with bugs and bears and whatever the hell else
is roaming around outside, I'm not doing it. So then
she says, well, we could do a practice run and
we can set up tents outside in the backyard. Not
(11:10):
sleeping outside in the backyard. No, it's not gonna happen.
Stop asking us to do white people's shit. It's not
gonna happen. Well, that's why I read for this week.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
I love you guys. Bye.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Okay, that is kind of funny.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
That's funny because Vaughn just went on kayaking.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Yeah, so he's break breaking the rules here.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
I did notice, and this is I'm gonna go ahead
and say this because it's in my mind and I'm
known for saying what's in my mind. In Yellowstone Park,
I did not notice a lot of people love color.
And I don't know if it's just because that was
just there weren't but nearly everybody out there is what, Oh, Japanese, Man,
I tell you there are a ton of Japanese people.
And I would say, man, I'm not quite really exaggerating.
(11:53):
Close to half of the people that I saw in
Yellowstone Park were Japanese. Interesting, and I thought that was interesting.
I thought, wow, that the economy in Japan must be
really really good because to fly over here and go
to Yellowstone Park, which is like, you know, you gotta
fly to Jackson Hole or Billings rent a car going
to the park. So I thought that was really interesting.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
I wonder if you, like, if you are living out
of the country and you google like a big park
in USA, if Yellowstone is just the first one, though,
it must.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Be like most desirable and maybe they don't have anything
like that in Japan.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Do you remember when you went to Japan if they
had big national parks or something.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
I don't. They do have a Mount Fuji Okay which
you can, like, you know, drive up part way or
maybe all the way. I don't remember, but it could
be because you know what, that might seem just as
exotic to them as Kyoto seems to us. Yeah, so, Wanita,
thank you for the rant to miss you. Thank you.
(12:55):
Here's an interesting one. I was listening to an episode
where a listener wrote in that works for the airlines
and pretty much worked every job is there is for them.
I'm curious if she could shed some light on something.
Since marijuana is legal in a lot of states, is
it true that TSA doesn't really check for single vape, pens, gummies, edibles,
et cetera, as long as it's not a huge amount.
(13:16):
I'm sure you can't just bring flour through, right. I
have friends that fly often and say, you know, you
can bring those with you. I've literally put my wallet,
THC pens, keys, phone in the bin and watch it
go through and the stuff has returned. No bigie at all.
I've personally done a few times but left it in
my carry on where it's not in the open for
everyone to see. Does TSA really check or care for
(13:40):
that stuff? Can you still get in trouble? Find THGC
that is not nicotine? Thanks for all you do. Lickety
lick dart lick. That is from Lucas. I don't know
anything about it. I know that it used to be
when you were in Colorado where lee weed was legal,
that it had a sign that said you cannot fly
we marijuana out of Colorado, so you can drop it
(14:03):
in this courtesy box over here, or if we find it,
you can be subject to a fine and arrest. And
I never tried to fly weed out. I'm not a
big weed guy. I don't really enjoy weed, but I
did try to bring some back for Fallon and Steve
one time. No I tried to mail.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
You tried to mail it.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
I tried to mail it, Yeah, and they figured out
they flagged it. I got a letter from the post
office that said, we've got a box down here at
the post office that we think is the illegal and
if you want to come by and pick it up,
we will have to open it to give it to you,
or if you ignore this letter, we'll throw it away.
So I bought weed for Steve and Fallon in Colorado
and it never got to them.
Speaker 6 (14:38):
All.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
I know.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
It's so funny because I mean we almost Steve liked
to engage in stuff like that, but Fallon didn't. And
you don't like that stuff, so it's funny that you
went out of your way to do that.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Was it for a bit?
Speaker 1 (14:52):
I love my friends, so yeah, I don't know if
somebody's listening who knows about that one. I have a
friend Tracy who works at TSA, but I don't really
like to bother him because I think I asked him
one time and he said, yeah, don't put me on
the radio about that. But somebody will know.
Speaker 4 (15:07):
Well, someone did email in last week saying that they
had like a bunch of different jobs in the airport.
So that's why this person's calling there or emailing to ask.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
Yeah, okay, and that is going to be it for
the Minnesota goodbye. There are something we didn't get to
so if you wrote in going her you never read mine,
we'll try to get to it tomorrow. But also we're
always looking for new fresh emails, so send those in
Ryan Show at KADIWB dot com and we will get
you on tomorrow here on the Minnesota Goodbye
Minnesota. Goodbye. Let's start off with this one. You guys

but it's not like I'm going, God, what's Jenny doing
right now?
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (00:57):
You know? Oh yeah? And how long before or you
dread the return to work? I don't really dread the

start looking for something new. I'm nervous about making another
move too quickly, but I also don't want to waste
my time in a role that's not helping me. Any
advice on how to handle this kind of situation. Should
I stick it out or start the job search? Thanks
(07:18):
so much, Love you guys. First reaction is start the
job search, because if it concerns you enough that you're
writing into the Minnesota Goodbye, then it's concerning enough that
you just need to leave.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
Well if you're asking to, if you're asking for more
work and they're not giving you more work, I wonder
if you ask for more work in conjunction with saying
if I don't get more work, I'm going to find
another job, if they would give them more impetus to
give you more work.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
There is also the risk that if you ask that
they'll be like, oh, then we don't need your position.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
True.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
A friend of mine worked for She was an office
manager and during the pandemic, nobody came into the office anymore,
so she literally had nothing to do. She would try
to find things to do, but she couldn't find anything
to do, so she put up you know, she started
printing up a company newsletter. Okay, well, that kept her
(08:09):
busy for an hour or two a week, but Eventually
they looked at her and she was making eighty thousand
dollars a year doing nothing. Yeah, and she was not
lazy at all, but she got laid off because they realized,
we're paying you eighty thousand dollars a year, we don't
need you.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
I'll be honest, when people say that they don't have
enough work and like aren't given more work, that surprises
me a little bit. I know I don't understand everyone's jobs,
but like anytime I've been in a job like that,
I have made work for myself. So honestly, before I
got on the Day Ryan Show, I used to be
on a morning show down the Hall, and I had
(08:47):
such little responsibility that I just started like going across
to a different studio, learning from another guy who did
all this production, and like learning different things, and I
would just like infiltrate myself into different stuff to make
sure I had work to do, because I was just
sitting in a studio pretty much every morning doing barely anything.
(09:07):
So I feel like there's always something you can figure
out to do. I obviously can't speak for every industry,
but I really feel like there's something you can figure
out to do.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
When I worked at Sambo's back when I was a kid.
That was my summer job between junior and senior year.
The boss said, there is never an excuse to sit
around doing nothing. There is always something to do. My
title was dishwasher, but that also meant toilet cleaner. Yes,
supply bringer in her truck, onloader anything. He said, if
(09:38):
you ever find yourself with nothing to do, you're not
doing your job. There's always something to do, so I
can't imagine. And same with this job. There's always something
we could be working on, answering emails, writing new bits,
writing whatever. All right, Janita is here with her rant.
And did you not play Janita's rant when I was
here last week?
Speaker 2 (09:56):
I want to.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
I wanted you to hear it. Yeah, I want to
hear it too. I'm glad that I didn't miss hit. Okay,
here we go on eat.
Speaker 6 (10:02):
Hey, Hey, y'all, So this week's rent is about white
people that want black people to do white people shit. Now,
let me explain. So this past holiday, we were hanging
out with our friends and family, and the one couple
who we've been friends with for like over twenty years.
They're always asking us to do shit. They just know
black people don't do. One weekend, they asked us to
(10:25):
go bungee jumping, not happening. The next time, they asked
us to go canoeing, not getting in the water. They
wanted us to go to a pool party. Black people
will go to the pool party, but they ain't getting
in a damn pool. So just this past murial, I
mean just this past holiday. So they said that we
should all we should go camping with them. I'm not
fucking going camping. I'm not sleeping outside of the tent.
(10:47):
You know, we don't do that. Stop asking me that
I am not sleeping outside. Black people normally don't sleep
outside unless they get evicted. Now sleeping outside the tent
anywhere with bugs and bears and whatever the hell else
is roaming around outside, I'm not doing it. So then
she says, well, we could do a practice run and
we can set up tents outside in the backyard. Not
(11:10):
sleeping outside in the backyard. No, it's not gonna happen.
Stop asking us to do white people's shit. It's not
gonna happen. Well, that's why I read for this week.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
I love you guys. Bye.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Okay, that is kind of funny.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
That's funny because Vaughn just went on kayaking.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Yeah, so he's break breaking the rules here.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
I did notice, and this is I'm gonna go ahead
and say this because it's in my mind and I'm
known for saying what's in my mind. In Yellowstone Park,
I did not notice a lot of people love color.
And I don't know if it's just because that was
just there weren't but nearly everybody out there is what, Oh, Japanese, Man,
I tell you there are a ton of Japanese people.
And I would say, man, I'm not quite really exaggerating.
(11:53):
Close to half of the people that I saw in
Yellowstone Park were Japanese. Interesting, and I thought that was interesting.
I thought, wow, that the economy in Japan must be
really really good because to fly over here and go
to Yellowstone Park, which is like, you know, you gotta
fly to Jackson Hole or Billings rent a car going
to the park. So I thought that was really interesting.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
I wonder if you, like, if you are living out
of the country and you google like a big park
in USA, if Yellowstone is just the first one, though,
it must.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Be like most desirable and maybe they don't have anything
like that in Japan.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Do you remember when you went to Japan if they
had big national parks or something.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
I don't. They do have a Mount Fuji Okay which
you can, like, you know, drive up part way or
maybe all the way. I don't remember, but it could
be because you know what, that might seem just as
exotic to them as Kyoto seems to us. Yeah, so, Wanita,
thank you for the rant to miss you. Thank you.
(12:55):
Here's an interesting one. I was listening to an episode
where a listener wrote in that works for the airlines
and pretty much worked every job is there is for them.
I'm curious if she could shed some light on something.
Since marijuana is legal in a lot of states, is
it true that TSA doesn't really check for single vape, pens, gummies, edibles,
et cetera, as long as it's not a huge amount.
(13:16):
I'm sure you can't just bring flour through, right. I
have friends that fly often and say, you know, you
can bring those with you. I've literally put my wallet,
THC pens, keys, phone in the bin and watch it
go through and the stuff has returned. No bigie at all.
I've personally done a few times but left it in
my carry on where it's not in the open for
everyone to see. Does TSA really check or care for
(13:40):
that stuff? Can you still get in trouble? Find THGC
that is not nicotine? Thanks for all you do. Lickety
lick dart lick. That is from Lucas. I don't know
anything about it. I know that it used to be
when you were in Colorado where lee weed was legal,
that it had a sign that said you cannot fly
we marijuana out of Colorado, so you can drop it
(14:03):
in this courtesy box over here, or if we find it,
you can be subject to a fine and arrest. And
I never tried to fly weed out. I'm not a
big weed guy. I don't really enjoy weed, but I
did try to bring some back for Fallon and Steve
one time. No I tried to mail.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
You tried to mail it.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
I tried to mail it, Yeah, and they figured out
they flagged it. I got a letter from the post
office that said, we've got a box down here at
the post office that we think is the illegal and
if you want to come by and pick it up,
we will have to open it to give it to you,
or if you ignore this letter, we'll throw it away.
So I bought weed for Steve and Fallon in Colorado
and it never got to them.
Speaker 6 (14:38):
All.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
I know.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
It's so funny because I mean we almost Steve liked
to engage in stuff like that, but Fallon didn't. And
you don't like that stuff, so it's funny that you
went out of your way to do that.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Was it for a bit?
Speaker 1 (14:52):
I love my friends, so yeah, I don't know if
somebody's listening who knows about that one. I have a
friend Tracy who works at TSA, but I don't really
like to bother him because I think I asked him
one time and he said, yeah, don't put me on
the radio about that. But somebody will know.
Speaker 4 (15:07):
Well, someone did email in last week saying that they
had like a bunch of different jobs in the airport.
So that's why this person's calling there or emailing to ask.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
Yeah, okay, and that is going to be it for
the Minnesota goodbye. There are something we didn't get to
so if you wrote in going her you never read mine,
we'll try to get to it tomorrow. But also we're
always looking for new fresh emails, so send those in
Ryan Show at KADIWB dot com and we will get
you on tomorrow here on the Minnesota Goodbye
