Let's get started on the Minnesota Goodbye with some emails. That's usually what we
do. If you've never or you're a new listener to the Minnesota Goodbye.
This is stuff that we can't talk about don't talk about on the show.
Either it's a little bit different, or it's a little bit longer, or
we swear, or we tell disgusting, revolting stories. Do you have a
disgusting story? I'll start because this is the kind of thing that I don't
really want to tell on the air. I one time went camping and I
was on Dimmock Island in the Mississippi, which is kind of up by Manicello
and Carson and I were it's probably ten twelve, fifteen years ago, and
we were camping and the bugs were so bad, just terrible bugs, and
I had to go pooh. So they didn't have an indoor toilet of any
kind. They had basically a box on the ground with a hole in it.
Well that's better than nothing. So I go use the box on the
hole in the ground, with a box on the ground with a hole in
it, And I'm there and the bugs are all around. They're all around,
okay, And so while I'm going I had the runs, and so
I was wiping and then I got it on my hand. Now things are
getting worse and worse. So then the bugs are all over might just swarming
around my face. I reach up, I slapped bugs on my face and
I got pooh on my face. So do you have any toilet paper because
you were camping? Yeah, I had toilet paper. Oh sure, yeah,
you can't forget toilet paper. But that is probably my worst, like
a story I wouldn't really tell on the air. Well, the interesting thing
is you have told that on the air, and element of that story I've
never heard, which was that you had the runs. You didn't tell that
part of the story on the air before I was flying out in every direction.
Seriously, Yeah, it looked like a fountain. And then also another
disgusting story is when I was probably thirteen or so, I desired to have
some sort of sexual relations. But you know, when you're thirteen years old,
you don't have anybody to have sexual relations with. So I had around
sponging nerf ball and I cut a hole in it and then I made sweet
sweet love to the round sponging nerfball I put I think some vasoline or something
in there did not feel good at all because you can imagine the round,
sponging nerf ball texture on your private parts was not what I was hoping for.
But you can't. You thought maybe I'd give you kind of the same
feeling of what. Yeah, it did not. So now I don't want
to put you on the spot, but if you if you don't have a
disgusting story, you don't have to. I will tell another one of mine.
I got plenty and this is probably the one that was the worst.
So at Country Essay, obviously we're like drinking heavily at Country Essay. It's
a country festival, and we met these neighbors who had this big, like
camping RV thing that was just decked out in packer stuff. So we called
it the packer truck. And so they were like, oh, if you
ever want to go in there and use the bathroom, like, you can
go pee in there, just no pooping. Well, I, as someone
who has some bowel issues, went in there to pee and my girlfriend was
in there with me, and I just started going number two and she goes
to Jenny stop, Jenny stop, Oh my god stop, And I was
like I can't. I literally can't. Like I we've been drinking all week.
My system is so messed up. I can't Albert, and so I
went number two. I tried to get rid of the evidence, tried to
get rid of the smell in any way I could, and then we walked
out. And then I went ahead and started being like, man, I
think someone pooped. Oh no, did you really trying to get the Jenny?
Yeah, so that I gross pooping story. That's funny. I really
I've got other more disgusting stories, but I don't really want to share them
because you know, I got to have some mystery about me. You know
what I'm saying. All right, it's not much left after you but on
the show for thirty years. Well, no, it's true. I don't
have any stories left. Once in a while, i'll bust out a story
and you were foulon will go. You have never told that story before,
And I'm yeah, well there's a reason why I've never told that story.
If you've got a disgusting story, you know, maybe it didn't involves poop,
but maybe it doesn't involve poop, then share it with us. The
story that when you're drunk around a campfire or at a bonfire or at happy
hour. You tell this story, so let's hear it. Send it into
Ryan Show at katiewb dot com. Okay, so let's get into the emails
for today. We've got a few, not a whole bunch, but let's
see what we got here. This one starts off with catching up on the
podcast I heard Fallon talk about cottage cheese having a moment and how she prefers
a savory cottage cheese over a sweet cottage cheese combo. First off, hell
yeah, hell yeah, sister. Secondly, it got me thinking about how
I am on the cottage Cheese Talk and pickle Talk Okay, weird TikTok algorithm.
I know there was a video of a girl making the most heinous sounding
cottage cheese combination and I immediately had to try it because some of my favorite
things pickled cottage cheese, ranch dressing, buffalo sauce. Sick. You might
be thinking yourself, but it was delightful and now has become my guilty pleasure
snack that I only allow myself to eat when I'm home alone, so no
one can witness this monstrosity. Do any of you have a weird guilty pleasure
snack, have a great rest of the week. I love your name.
That is from Greta, and there are not enough Grettas in the world.
I love that name. I don't really I don't have a guilty pleasure snack.
I do like they look like sardines, but they're called kippered, like
kippered herring and canned oysters, and most people look thousand go gross, that's
disgusting, But they're full of protein. They're good. I love fishy,
fishy stuff, so I would say canned kippered snacks and canned oysters. Yeah.
I don't think I have anything that's like unique, except for the fact
that, like when I lived alone and I had no snacks in the house,
but I'd still get up in the middle of the night and have like
a hankering for some food. I'd eat a spoonful of brown sugar that was
my weird thing, or powdered sugar sometimes. But you had to be careful
with the powdered shore because when you put a spoonful of that in your mouth
and you breathe just a little bit, it'll blow everywhere. The next thing
you know, it's all over your face. So that's probably a bye weird
thing. When I was a kid, somebody told me about peanut bustard,
peanut butter and mustard sandwiches, and they aren't bad. I mean they're different
because you got the sweet of the peanut butter with a little bit of salt,
and then you got the tang of the mustard. And before you go
that's disgusting. You know what, make one. It'll cost you a few
pennies to make one and see if you like it. Because if there were
a peanut butter mustard sandwich right now, I'd be like, yeah, that
sounds good. But here's the thing, Jenny, I am now down another.
Remember we had this discussion the other day. I think you might have
been here. I came in and I was disappointed because I've gained three pounds
for no reason, and then listeners were saying it happened sometimes. Within two
days, I had lost five pounds. So yesterday I got in the scale.
I was down to like the lowest weight that I'd been in a long
time. And part of it's with part of it's making better choices, and
part of it is like just and I'm working out and I'm going to the
gym today, and but it was amazing that I lost five pounds in two
days. Yeah, I mean it's just what happens though, Like your body
go through cycles. I mean women specifically, they they're like hormones are all
over their place with like our bodies with having like periods and stuff. So
there's like actually a whole new fitness revolution with women of how you should work
out according to how you are with your cycle. There's like a whole new
thing. Be sure that makes sense? Yeah? Yeah, they say that,
like workouts were built based on a male body, not the way that
a female's bodies go, like with hormones are all over the place with having
their cycle and stuff. So there's like a certain way you should work out
during having your period versus not. Um, I'm going to give a shout
out to my trainer who is so supportive that when I work out, he's
like he counts along with me and encourages and things like that, and I'm
like, I really appreciate that because it makes me feel like he cares and
he does care, but it's like he's just just so great at cheering me
on. It's like, you know, one more, give me one more
if you got it, give me two more if you got it. And
I always like to prove to him that I'm not lazy. So if I'm
trying to do fifteen like lifts of like you know, dumbbell or whatever,
and so I get to ten and I'm really struggling, but i want to
show him that I'm determined, and so I'll do five more, even though
I felt like quitting at ten. Yeah. So it's the great thing about
how somebody encourage you. So does your trainer account actually like the entire time
with you, Like he does account till ten nearly all the time. Yeah,
He's like that's one, that's two, three, there we go,
four more, five more, whatever it is. Yeah, my trainer and
I were already friends before I started training with her, but now we've gotten
even closer. So we it's just like an hour of a gossip session while
I'm getting my butt kicked, is what it turns into. And she will
just like get caught up with us talking and she won't be counting and I
won't be counting, and the next thing I know, I feel like I'm
dying, and I'm like, we have got reps right now. And so
when I realized that she's like not counting, I start over exaggerating like my
grunts or like my pay She's like, okay, just three more, because
then she'll realize she forgot she sounded stopped or wasn't counting, and then she'll
just tell me like three more whatever. That is funny, because you know
we sometimes my trainer will lose count and I'm like counting myself, like I
know that was ten and he's like okay, eight nine, and I'm like,
well, I'm not going to bring it up all right. Next email
says Dave, you got so many good bits in your fault, thank you,
Kell. I appreciate that, is it? Kell? Yeah? Kel
Kelly so much that you forget a lot of them. It's true. People
will say, do you remember the time that you did this? Do you
remember the time you did that? Like the one we did last week,
Kim yay, And he's like, plus and maybe you could do a throwback
Thursday request bits on your show or the Minnesota Goodbye? Could you play the
Leave It to Beaver one? You did the parts to the Broken Window episode
with Larry and the Beaver. I'm trying to find it. But can't you
know what's funny, Kelly? That doesn't even ring a bell? Yeah,
it doesn't even I mean maybe I was doing an impression of the characters on
Leave It to Beaver and I I don't remember. I truly don't, And
I wish I could find that. It's weird because I don't know how to
save all of the bits that we've done over the years. So one day,
when I'm not here anymore, not at the station anymore, I want
to be able to have my kids and grandkids have an archive of well,
grandpa was on the radio for forty years or whatever, what did he sound
like? And right now I've got a few things, but not a lot
of things. And the most solid things I have are best of CDs,
which we haven't done one in twenty plus years. Yeah, and the show
has changed so much since then. But I don't want to save everything because
they're not gonna want to listen to everything. But I feel like there should
be some sort of an archive, Like if your dad is Jason to Russia,
you're gonna want to like save some of Dad's work, you know,
Yeah, yeah, you'll have to. I feel like you've got to hire
someone to figure out how to like have that kind of storage advice you want
to keep it on because that gets like real hard to keep like that amount
of storage of all those bits. And that's the problem because every mode or
method or media changes every few years. Because it used to be when I
first started in radio, it was a real to real tape, like a
real Then it became a cassette tape. Then it became I would say,
a CD. We'd burn our audio to a CD. Who has a CD
player anymore? Then it became a thumb drive. Well, nobody has a
thumb drive anymore. You can still play him, but now it's in the
cloud. But in another six years, what's it going to be? Right?
So, but that's a good idea, I mean, seriously, that
would be a fun one, Kelly, if you wanted. If Kelly,
if you or anybody else has something that you want to hear from the past,
let me know. I'm sorry I don't remember the Broken Window episode with
Larry and the Beaver, but I'm glad you do. Thank you all right.
Next one, this is not specifically for the Minnesota Goodbye, but I
found it interesting. Gen Z is all about nostalgia, So what does their
favorite childhood board games say about them? A new nationwide survey finds Monopoly as
the favorite among boomers, gen X and millennials, but gen Z ranked a
different game as their number one favorite classic board game. Do you want to
guess what it is gen Z's favorite classic board game? I mean, I
don't know if classic has changed for gen Z. So the ones I can
think of are maybe Sorry or Life or hungry hungry Hippos? Okay, good
guesses, Good guesses. No, candy Land, And to me, that's
such a child's game that I wonder if it's a sign that gen Z doesn't
play board games as teenagers. Right. So, in other words, if
you are a gen Z, let's say you're twenty two years old gen Z
and they go, what's your favorite board game? Well, you haven't played
a board game in years, so you'd go all the way back to Candyland.
But if you ask boomer, gen X or millennial what's your favorite board
game, they'd say Monopoly because maybe they still play it or they played it
as teenagers. Yeah, do I don't think that. If you were to
ask Drake, do you ever play board games? I'm gonna guess he'd say
no, I would say probably not also because I mean he's I think his
generation is more into anything technological, So I just can't imagine like they were
they grew up with like Weeze and like that was their version of board games.
Almost sipuli. Yeah. True. A couple of more stats, seventy
six percent of gen Z players or people say playing board games reduces anxiety.
More than three in four still play classic board games regularly. Okay, so
maybe I was wrong. Nearly one in four wants certain classic games to be
modernized, Monopoly and Battleship being the top three, And the survey also says
that nearly all gen Zers miss classic games from their childhood. That's more than
any other generation. So if you're wondering what gen Z is doing in between
therapy sessions, a game of Candyland might be a good bet. Okay,
that's funny, and that is going to kind of do it for the Minnesota
goodbye. Unless there's anything else, Jenny that you want to add. No,
I will just say that I am very pro board games if you are
like having kids at this point, because that was one of my core memories
with my mom is like that was our thing. Like almost every other night
we would play some games together. We always played Mancolla that was like the
one with a little marbles and you try to get them all into your end
yep. And I actually would beat her most of the time. I don't
think she let me win. I truly think that she played to play and
we would, Yeah, every other night we'd play games, and Mancolla was
my favorite. That is very cool, Carson, when you say speaking of
like letting them win, later win, Carson and I would play block Us,
which is kind of like tetris a board and it's it's fun and it's
easy to play. And when Carson was about ten or so, he legitimately
started to beat me and he would say, are you letting me win?
And I said, no, I will not let you win. That is
not how I play. I'm trying to win. But he had a mind
that was good for like spatial whatever, and he would beat me in block
Us pretty much every time. That's a fun game. One more thing about
I was the sixth of six kids, so most of my board games were
hand me downs, meaning by the time they got through my four sisters and
my brother, pieces were missing, cards were missing. The board was halfway
torn in half, and I remember playing candy Land and some of the pieces
or the dice or whatever you using can no shoots and ladders, Remember shoots
and ladders. I remember the board was torn and most of the pieces were
missing because it had gone through five kids before me before it got to me.
All right, Any thoughts on either best of or classic bits or board
game, whatever you want to write about something brand new, Love to hear
from you for tomorrow's Minnesota Goodbye. Send those into Ryan Show at katwb dot
com and thanks for listening.
