And let's get started with Minnesota Goodbye. I'm going to give a shout out
to Desiree Ericson because Desiree has heard about the Dave Ryan Cribbage Tournament which is
happening. There are seven spots left Fallon. I heard from Pause for pause
blight good. That's amazing. Cont seven spots left. So we got about
one hundred and forty people in this one. And even if you don't get
signed up, come by anyway. It's going to be at um okay,
broken Clock brewing. It's not in front of me, so I have to
remember it, and you I can't remember shit, right, I'm like Deborino.
You know I got crs. Can't remember shit. So Broken Clock,
blew Brewing. Wednesday the twenty six, from six until nine. You can
still sign up on Dave ryanshow dot com on the Dave tab a look for
the link can sign up. But even if you just come by and say
hi anyway, So Desiree says, I can make you a shirt like a
bowling shirt that says cribbage is lit, because you know, you see like
really cool bowling shirts on the back of a lot a bunch of bowling pins.
Embroidered on there. It'll say pinheads. That is cool, and I
get it. What's another great bowling team name? Um a gutter gutter gutter
gutter gals, gutter gals, yea, something like that. Let's spend the
entire podcast thinking of bowling team name. Actually, can I google it really
quick because we gotta fill time anyway? Yeah, sure, bowling. I
actually last night was googling best cabin names, because you know how like you'll
go on to like Airbnb or whatever, you go somewhere and it'll be like
the Whistling Pine cabin or whatever. So Jake and I were reading them,
and I think my favorite one was the black Bear bungalow. I was like,
okay, best bowling team names, um, ebola, can't cute ebola?
Yeah, dry bumpers, dolls, I get it, dry bumpers like
dry humpers, Okay, got it. Dolls with balls, dolls with balls,
gutter trash, foul language, okay, uh, let's see. Oh
some of these are messed up. Gotta can't even read half of these.
Well, then don't read them. That's okay, there's a lot, but
yeah, go on. My mom used to be on a bowling league,
and when she was probably sixty five ish or so, and I thought it
was so cute. She went bowling with our neighbor Mabel, and it was
just adorable. And she wasn't very good, but she liked it, and
she had a bowling joke. And we used to put her on the radio
and she would make football predictions because she loved pro football. We put her
on every weekend to do football predictions and she actually did pretty well. But
she had a bowling joke and said, Mom, tell your bowling joke.
Here it is, I've given up bowling for sex. The balls are lighter
and you don't have to change your shoes. And that was my mom's bowling
joke. Wait, okay, so I think you've said this before. Your
mom was funny, your dad was not correct. They were both funny in
a different way. Because you are you, But I feel like that's more
of your humor. So would you say you're more you have more of your
mom's humor. I've got a little bit of both, because I think my
mom was like, she had a humor like you, a very outward like,
boisterous kind of humor. And she was funny and loud and just she
was everybody. She knew everybody and loved everybody. Dad was quiet, but
he was very just more intellectually subtly funny. For example, when I was
a kid, we used to have a problem with moths in our house and
we called him millers. I don't know why we called them millers, but
they were. They were all over the house in the summertime. And so
I remember one time I was sitting here in the living room, I'm here
right now, and my mom said, Fred, there's a damn miller in
the window. And Dad said, get him a cup of coffee. And
he said it so quick, like you didn't even have to think about it.
It was just so And I think it's a funny thing about humor is
it's got to be surprising if humors not to see. That's why I give
people a hard time when they make an obvious joke, because it's like,
well, Carson could have made that joke. It's not surprising, see.
And I like to surprise, but I also am very pleased with just any
pathetic laugh. I can get. It's my sick issue, yeah, but
I think humor has got to be a surprise. I think it should be
and that, because that's like, oh didn't see that when Remember that time
I brought you in a bag and I said, there's a there's a piece
of cake in this bag and you opened it up and it was a cobra.
Remember that. It was funny because it was a surprise and it's surprising.
Yes, I will never forget that. How could I? Okay,
let's move on. Let's see what we got here. This is a longer
one, but it has to do with pets, and I think we're going
to try it out and see how it goes. This is from Becca.
I had something happen to me that made me feel so warm and fuzzy.
I wanted to share it with you. I was driving toward Joe Anne Fabrics
like the middle age thirty one year old woman I am. Took sixty two
east and exited on Xerxes Avenue going south into we Dinah. You lost me
now, but pay attention, I promised, this is important to the story.
I was driving down Xerxes with South Down Mall and the new Lifetime there
on my right and the new apartments with Alchemy, Lee End Chan, etc.
On the left. It's a very busy area and I'm sure y'all know.
It was about noons, so lots of people come and going from the
mall, restaurants, cub Target in the area. Car in front of me
suddenly slowed down. I saw two dogs running through traffic towards the mall,
tongues fully wagging, dodging cars. Both had callers, no leash, and
no human I lost sight of the dogs, but I entered the very confusing
system of one ways going around Southdale to try to track them down. I
was unsuccessful, but decided to head back north to sixty sixth to go over
to France to see if I could spot them again. So if you don't
know the roads, it doesn't matter. They're circling Southdale Mall. It took
me a few minutes to get out there, and I was about to give
up when I saw them crossing France at sixty six. I pulled my car
up onto the sidewalk and started calling them toward me. They were both running
and smelling and circling each other in the woods nearby, but they were close
to the entrance of sixty two at Valley Few Road. I know exactly where
you are by this time, so I was terrified they'd entered the freeway.
They seemed to be in survival mode and were not interested in pets or the
ufful of the bag of food that I was using to entice them. Luckily,
they were now destructed by distracted by the foliage around the man made lake
at this apartment building. So they're standing nearby my car. This is where
humanity and community comes in. All of a sudden, around the corner comes
three women and a guy on a bike who had all been chasing the dogs
on foot since Southdale. When one circle to the other side of the lake,
we split up one dog cross Valley View Road and one of the women
slowed traffic to follow the dog and get it back across the road and managed
a van stopped and offer some food to try to catch them. Truly a
team effort. I was so grateful they came around the corner. I had
my car only partially on the sidewalk and was worried to get hit. And
I should mention I am nine months pregnant. You should have mentioned that up
front, honestly, so I don't move very fast anyway, Almost done,
this amazing group of humans split up and was able to corral the two dogs
after a lot of attempts. I had my car, so I offered to
bring him to the police station. I got them into my car and said
goodbye. After our midday adventure, or the pooches had escaped all the cops
that had come looking for them. I called the station to let them know
ahead of time. I'm on my way. By this time, the dogs
were famous because of all the phone calls they got at the station. When
I arrived, I found they'd been getting calls since ten am. The dogs
were out for three hours. The poor puppies were stress, tired, nervous.
I'm sure they were terrified for three hours. The animal control officer got
them out of my car and shared that the owners were on their way.
I said goodbye to Leroy and Luna and went on my way. Yeah.
I felt so wonderful about this community moment, since I think we all did
just what we would want someone to do for our dogs. But it was
so nice to know we can work together and do the right thing, especially
for animals. Here is a picture I took of the two dopes slobbering in
my car before they finished all the water in my forty ounce bottle. Thanks
for all the laughs and have fun and have a great day. Shout out
to you. Becca. The picture is not loading on my computer, but
that's okay. I'll try to open it on another computer. But a great
story. I think that is really nice when strangers get together and do something
for you know, like if, for example, if there's a turtle crossing
the road and they say, don't pick the turtle up, then turn it
around or whatever they said, just let it cross. And if you see
somebody who gets out of their car, don't do it on a freeway.
The turtle is not that important. But if you can do it on like
a little like you're on a side road or your neighborhood or whatever, and
you can get out in block traffic or notify traffic, you know, you
see something like that, it's like, ah, that's very sweet. So
thanks for the story. Here's another one him hold on Okay, yeah,
thanks, having a little trouble with my computer. Here we go. Big
fan of the show going off on Monday or today's Minnesota Goodbye. You were
talking about kids side hustles, yes, Fallon and I talked about selling Christmas
cards or eliminate stands yesterday. I think a good idea maybe for talk back
Tuesday, is to ask listeners what is their real job with their first real
job and their favorite memory. My job at fourteen in South Dakota was a
Wendy's team member. I worked there a few years and eventually knew every job
position. I'm grateful for the experience. My fondest memory was making the burgers.
I was the fastest. I still make burgers but for my hubby.
I'm sure most people start out as fast food workers, but I believe it,
and I believe it's a great opportunity. It's important to learn work as
a team, be dependable customer service, in how to train new members.
This could be inspiring to the young guns listening. Thanks for considering. Take
care from Santana. I think it's a good idea, so we'll write that
down. What was your first real job and yours? My first real job
was not selling hot dogs at Air Force games. That was my first job,
but I could have not shown up for work and nobody would have noticed.
My first real job was being a dishwasher at a restaurant called Sambo's,
which is just like Denny's, and I don't really have any good memories of
that job except it was money. Yeah, don't have any good memories of
it really at all. What was your first real job. My first real
job was in radio. I was a freshman in college and I got a
job at the local radio stations and I worked in the promotions department. So
I did a combination of events, like I would go out and hang out
at the radio station, like truck and table and give away prizes and like
talk to people. And I also would be in office back in the day,
we do not do this now because people do ask. Back in the
day, I would come back with all of like the people who would signed
up at their registration box and enter their information too, like our fan club
thing, so they would get emails, not from a third party because it
was Indiana. We didn't have like some kind of connection for that, but
so we could send them like radio station news. And to this day,
I don't recall ever sending out radio station news. It's almost like I was
just entering all of this information for what reason, I don't know. Yeah,
that is funny, all right, Next one, Minnesota, Goodbye.
Hey friends, I heard you talking about how you'd like to climb a mountain,
but you're not sure, and Everest is crazy and so on. My
advice for you would be to start small, into a little mountain. A
good one would be something like Eagle Mountain. This way you can say you've climbed
