It's the Minnesota Goodbye, the Jenny and Drake edition. Hello. All right,
Dave's off for the next two days, so you're stuck with Drake and
I for the Minnesota Goodbye today and tomorrow. We will jump right into emails.
This one says, Hey, guys, I'm cooking dinner listening to the
Minnesota Goodbye, and I heard the story about the person that took a run
and took a shit by someone's backyard. I also listened to a podcast called
I've Had It. I don't remember the episode, but it was within the
last month or two, and a lady had emailed them telling them about a
person taking a shit in their backyard while on a run. They saw it
happen and saw them wipe. Person that emailed you said they had tissue in
their pocket. The person on the other podcast thought it was a premeditated shit
because they had something to wipe with. Not sure if they are the same
people, but how fucking crazy would that be if they are. That's all.
I have a great day, Shay. We've had a lot of like
emergency Pooh stories lately, which Dave put a cap off, I think because
he brought it up. There was one story that got brought up about it.
I don't know the beginning of last week, and he goes, if
you have a story, email us. Well, then of course all these
stories start coming in. He goes, all right, that's it. I'm
capping it off. You need to email it in the next week, and
then we're not doing them anymore, because I knew what he got himself into
when he said, email us your emergency Pooh stories. So anyway, Shay,
that would be quite the funny coincidence if it was the same person.
All right, moving on, this says, hello, my favorite morning show.
This is Charise. I'm writing to see if other listeners just knew when
they met there happily ever After. I think I've found my Oh you know,
I think we've read this one, Scharis before, but maybe I'm not
rereading one. This came in yesterday. Did she send it in twice?
Maybe, Charis, we've definitely talked about this before on other Minnesota Goodbye,
So i'd go say, within the last few weeks, definitely go back and
check out some episodes because we've talked about meeting there happily ever after, and
if you found them, if you found that person once you've already been with
someone else, So yeah, go check those ones out. Sorry to not
trying to like brush over your email, but we've talked about this quite a
bit in like past episodes, So I'm going to move on to another one.
Let's see this one says, Hey, guys, I got my staff
right or stick or yesterday. I will send you a picture once I figure
out where to stick it. I just also wanted to say thank you for
all your hard work and dedication to the show and the podcasts. I do
have a question or topic for you too, though. What encourage you to
go to get into radio? What's your favorite thing about the job? So
we'll start with that first. Sorry we don't have Dave here today. Andrew,
this is Andrew in Ohio. But what encourage you to get into radio
and what's your favorite thing about the job. So for me, I was
in college trying to figure out what to do with my life, and I
was like, well, I want to do something with music, and I
always thought I wanted to be in like pr or be like a publicist for
bands or something like that, which now is probably the equivalent of like a
social media person for bands. Publicist is like a very outdated term almost,
I feel like, but that was my goal. And then I saw an
internship for Dave's show open up, and I applied, and I got into
radio because of that, and then I fell in love with it, and
I got really lucky that I saw that internship because I have no idea where
I would be today had I not seen it, because radio wasn't my go
to, like I was really doing all not necessarily like not I honestly probably
not. No, I really wanted to do something with music. I was
in such a track of like public relations in college that I foresaw myself probably
just going to work for like a fun agency in town. And I mean
radio doesn't pay very well. But also when you start out at ad or
pr agencies, that also is a very hard income stream when you first start
off. So yeah, I don't think it was. And then my favorite
thing about being in radio is without a doubt, being able to connect with
you listening. It is like I don't like, it's hard to explain,
but like when I go out in public and someone comes up to me and
says something like, oh my gosh, I've never related more about when you
talked about anxiety on the radio. That is like something that I wish everyone
had, is like I love to connect with people. I love that radio
is a form of connection, even though we might not actually physically connect in
person. Someday if something I said can help you somehow in your life.
That is my favorite thing about radio. But Drake, what encourage you to
get into radio and what's your favorite thing. Honestly, I think I was
just really trying to get a head start on anything. I started radio when
I was thirteen years old. I remember it was a radio station that I
always listened to as a kid, so I think there was a little bit
of like a nostalgic aspect to it too, of like I really wanted to
work here because I listened to it growing up. And I remember just sitting
and writing the little job resume g's thank you yes words with my parents.
I was like, I have nothing I could put on this, so they're
probably not even gonna like look at it. Yeah, But I sent it
in and got word back like a few weeks later, and they wanted me
to come in and check it out and meet me. And then I started
interning and learning things, and then it was all from there, But I
think mostly I just wanted to get a head start in something and I really
liked music and I want to I knew I want to work in the music
industry, and that's kind of where it all started. And for me,
what was the other question? Then? What's your favorite thing about radio?
Very similar to yours. I really like having a positive impact on somebody's life,
Like if I can put a smile on somebody's face, that to me
is like that makes me happy? Would I make other people happy? It
makes me super happy. So that's what it is worth it for me?
Got it? Yeah? And then Andrew continues on He's got a couple more
questions. He says, what was the worst job you ever had and what
encouraged you to leave it when you did? So, it's so you basically
have worked in radio your whole life. I've had three jobs, all of
them. I didn't really necessarily I left, but I left on good terms
because there was a new opportunity that opened up. I've done. I've worked
for a DJ company doing weddings, which I kind of like unofficially quit.
I don't know, I just kind of like tapered off. It wasn't like
an official official job, but I worked at had a lot of fun,
learned so many things from that, and then obviously working in radio and Green
Bay, I just left that when this opportunity came up. So that's pretty
much been my resume. Got it Okay, So the job itself wasn't exactly
like the worst job ever. If I have to go back to the worst
job I've ever worked, it was definitely when I was a bus girl when
I was fifteen years old, and I had to wear one of those old
diner dresses. I worked out like it was this old school restaurant. My
dad literally worked there for forty five years I think literally from the ag was
eighteen till he was sixty something, and so I had my first like real
job there, and it was just like it was early hours I was in
high school. I had to be there at like seven am on a Saturday
and Sunday, like almost every Saturday and Sunday. Worked. So all of
my weekends, like right away in high school, I didn't like have weekends
to go like have all these sleepovers with friends and stuff. I was always
working. But if I want to talk about like an actual, like career
job, more so outside of the first jobs you have that usually aren't the
greatest, I would have to say, and this has no shade against them,
because I absolutely love Canterbury Park. But when I worked in marketing at
Canterbury Park, because of the schedule, I was so miserable. I was
like twenty five years old, had just gotten out of like a relationship,
and my schedule was Wednesday through Sunday during race season. So I was working
Wednesday in normal like nine to five, Thursday and Friday nights because those were
races, and then Saturday and Sunday days because they raced Thursday through Sunday,
so it was night racing Thursday and Friday, Saturday and Sunday day racing.
So my schedule was Wednesday through Sunday all summer long. It included working on
Labor Day, Memorial Day, and the fourth of July. There were no
holidays off. It was really hard on me mentally. I just didn't get
to do much with friends. And I also went from being a server that
was interacting with people and working with friends all the time to working in a
very like office environment. And the offices at Canterbury also are in the basement
of Canterbury where there's no windows, so that was like another thing lots of
things I've learned in my years of like just what helps me with my mental
health, and I definitely never realized at the time how bad it was that
I was like sitting in this basement working a bunch. But yeah, the
schedule was really hard for me because I was like single and my friends were
all out doing things, and if I wanted to do stuff, I had
to be like going out after races at like eleven PM to meet up with
them, and then I had to be up a Saturday morning and at work
again at nine am to work a full eight hour a day, you know.
So the job itself wasn't bad. I really loved everyone I worked with
at Canterbury Park. Honestly some of the greatest professional people I've ever worked with.
I worked with amazing servers before in my life, but like professionally,
that was probably one of my favorite places I've worked with of people who were
just really good at their jobs. But the schedule just did not vibe for
me. So what encouraged me to leave was the fact that, like I
had already worked in radio on Dave's show, I was an intern, and
I really did love radio and that's what I wanted to do, but there
was nothing for me when I was interning. I had to leave eventually,
and so what encouraged me to get back was like just like honestly wanting to
be in radio so bad, and how miserable I felt from doing like one
race season at Canterbury Park, because then once race season was done, my
schedule went back to Monday through Friday, but your entire summer was consumed with
that. So it really helped me push me to get back into radio.
And then I took a big demotion to get back in. I went from
a full time marketing position to part time assistant producer on City's ninety sevens morning
show. But I still had side serving jobs, so I was able to
just like pick up more shifts back then to like equate for the loss of
income. So yeah, that's a long winded answer, Andrew. Sorry that
was a lot, but that you answered yours right, Yeah, okay,
all right, thank you for that one. Andrew in Ohio. Can't wait
to see where you put your sticker. Okay, this comes from Lauren.
She says, Hi, guys, I'm a first time writer, longtime listener,
and I couldn't help, but have to respond to your topic the other
day on where you've dropped your phone. So my friend recently was at the
same Paul Christmas market helpings how they're use the porta Patti and dropped his phone
in the toilet. He said, he sifted, Oh gosh, I know
exactly where this is killing. Oh my gosh, I'm trying to figure out
how much I want to filter this. He doesn't filter any of it,
no, he said, he sifted through turds to get to it, and
a bloody you know what that living is? Oh man? Then he put
the phone back in his breast pocket. What he didn't even clean it or
anything. He went and found his wife after with his hand all blue from
deep diving in the biff. Worst part he cleaned it, of course,
in the phone case, but kept the phone case. Those are like seven
dollars on Amazon anyway. Now it's a debate between the friend group, would
you or would you not? What would you guys do? My answer was
I'd grab it if it was sitting on top, But to dig through strangers
poop now I'm out. What would you do? Would you dig in there.
I would what a hard for it person, I would dig in there
for it. I would. I mean, so it was at the same
pole Christmas market. There's a good chance he was wearing gloves. Maybe she
said that. She didn't say that, but it was winter time. I
would have been wearing gloves, so I would have at least had that,
and then I would have tossed the gloves. I would have put the glove
on, or had the glove in dug in, did a little like biff
surgery, reach it in there, pulled it out, and then I would
have immediately like thrown it onto like the ground, onto some snow if there
was snow around, to like wash it off and then dish the glove.
Yeah, I would probably do all that. I don't know if i'd be
wearing gloves though, yeah, you never wear gloves. I would never I
have to. I'd be gloveless, which honestly, I feel like I would
still do it. Yea, I would still do it. I'm not tossing
like a nine hundred dollars phone, especially with all your stuff on there,
like it's not yet it's worth just just do it, I know. Yes,
Lauren, thank you for that somewhat disturbing but very entertaining email. We
appreciate that, and she says thanks for all the morning entertainment. I listen
every day, and that looks like we, I think, are caught up
on emails already. So if you have any emails for Drake and I,
I'm going to say, there's a couple in here that I'm going to say
because they're specifically directed towards Dave, but feel free to send him in to
Ryan's show at KADIWB dot com because it'll be Drake and I tomorrow as well,
and then Dave's going to be back on Monday. So thank you so
much for listening to the Minnesota Goodbye,
