Jenny, Look what I got in with the jail. Those the stickers,
right, yeah, those are the Minnesota good Bye that first. Yeah,
they look like coasters or hockey pucks, but they are stacks of round stickers.
You can see them on my Instagram, Dave Ryan katib They came in
yesterday in a box from China, and I'm like, wow, apparently they
make these in China. Minnesota Goodbye, katiewb official staff writer the Dave Ryan
Show. So basically it says Minnesota Goodbye, official staff writer, and I
will send these out to people who Here is the rule you have to write
in. It can't be one from the past. You have to write a
new email in, okay, and it's got to include your address. So
I'm not going to be able to remind you. So in other words,
if you send an email in and say, hey, I want a sticker.
Here's a story about my dog and read it on the Minnesota Goodbye and
you don't include your address, I'm not going to be able to write back
to everybody who forgets. So just remember to can Flujarid dress that way because
we are short staffed as fuck and we just don't We'll screw it. Up.
Yeah, So we need to make it as simple as we can for
me because I'm going to be the male boy on this one. And so
anyway, send those emails in with your address and I see them a good
close looking I'm sure, Yeah, these are nice. I mean they're okay.
I need to find something. Do you have something that you put all
your stickers that you collect from, like your National Park stickers or like stuff
like that. I have a computer at home. Heay, I see I
don't have that. So I have all of these things that I feel like
you've given me stickers, pounds giving me stickers from things I bought stickers,
and they're just sitting in this bowl. I have of random stuff in my
guest bedroom and I don't know what to put them on because the computer I
have is a work computer. I don't really I guess I do kind of
use a mug I could put them on, but I don't really have anything
to put them on. Do you have a yetti bottle or a Stanley Thermis
bottle. I don't have either of those. I just have my hydroflask,
the hydropass that I used to drink water out of. That goes with me.
Everywhere I walk around in my house, so I could do that one
I saiw Okay, yeah, I mean mine are on the back of a
computer. A Carson when he was in high school. I saw that he
had stickers all over his computer, and I'm like, oh, I guess
that's a thing. Yeah, so you buy stickers. Nobody puts stickers in
their car really anymore because people they just they value their car more than putting
a wall drug sticker on the back of their car like they did a generation
ago. Radio stations don't give out bumper stickers anymore, but they did.
It was a big thing when I first got into radio. You would slap
your favorite radio stations bumper sticker on the back of your car to show off
what you listened to. And we used to do a really cool thing when
I was seventeen eighteen years old first in radio. We would go out and
go on sticker patrol, where we would try to find somebody who had our
sticker on the back. If we did, we'd get on a very primitive
version of a car phone and we'd go live on the radio and say,
Hey, I'm on Academy Boulevard right now, I'm behind a yellow Toyota license
plate one two three four five, And if they pull over, I'm gonna
give them a six pack of coke and I'm gonna give them a whatever.
It was his shirt, and it was so cool because everybody in town knew
the radio station van, so they would okay, So they would probably pull
over almost if they they'd hear it on the radio. They hear it on
the radio. If they were listening, they would hear it live on the
radio. Hey, Stave Ryan, I'm out here at a academy boulevard.
If they pull over, they're in front of me, yellow Toyota. They'd
look in the mirror and go, holy shit, I'm getting pulled over by
the Kissing Kysn get it, Kissing Kysn Love Machine, which was the name
of our van. And it was like a badass VET nineteen seventies era van.
And everybody would be like, is there what a bed in the back?
Yeah? No, there was like junken boxes in the back anyway,
So send your emails in for the Minnesota Goodbye and become an official staff writer.
All right, here we go. Here is the first one that I'm
going to send any Send this to her name is Anna. Like everybody else,
I think you've done a great job through the last couple of years and
all the transitions between people on the show. It's been equally as entertaining for
your nearly seven listeners as ever before. I really appreciate that I emailed before
about the Haunting of Hillhouse and the subsequent shows after Dave and I agreed Hillhouse
was excellent, Blind Manner was a hot pile of garbage, and Midnight Club
was not as good as I had hoped. I am hoping for the new
stories that are coming out on Netflix now called The Fall of the House of
Usher Fingers Crossed. They get back to the roots of Hillhouse before that,
because that shit was fire. Additionally, my husband and I started another horror
show on Apple TV called The Servant, creepy, disgusting, wonderful October show.
It is would recommend. God, I wish I could remember all of
these shows that people recommend, because here's what happens. Susan and I will
be like, well, we're watching Suits right now, but sometimes we go
I don't really want to watch Suits again. What is a show that Jenny
or Fallen or somebody who listens recommended, and I can never remember what they
were. They're usually so Shit's Creak was like one of the top ones where
like you started watching it later and I was. I was guilty of it
too, though, because Fallen found it so early on and I think she
talked about it on a podcast or something, and then I started watching it.
I was like, oh my god, this is so funny, and
she was like, yeah, I mean I mentioned that. And another one
is have you started watching Oh my gosh, now, oh the Bear.
It's the I have not know. You told me about that one, and
I have not. Okay, so that is what I highly recommend to anyone.
But I was raving about it, and I had started watching once the
second season came out this past summer, and then I found out once again
Fallen had watched the first season and had talked about it like a year prior.
And I was like, man, I just don't remember like her ever
talking about it, because you forget, there's so many shows out there you
forget. No, you totally do. And she would talk about Shit's Creek
and she would say I think she even went to a seminar for lack of
a better word, whether they were all the cast members were at the State
Theater or somewhere, and you got to ask David and Alexis and Moira and
the dad's name John Johnny asked them questions and hear them talk about stories from
the show. And she came in one day going, yeah, I went
to that it was so cool, and I'm like, who cares because I
didn't know the show. But then I thought, oh man, that would
have been really cool. Yep. I wish the show Suits would have done,
would do something like that. I know it's been off the air for
a while, but I thought I saw something in the past week or two
that they were maybe coming back when new seasons. I swear I think I
saw it. I saw the offices coming. No, I saw it about
Suits and it was like, I think it said it was given would get
rid of some of the characters. But what's the Markle Megan Markle, the
one that's on it. Yeah, well she obviously will not be on it.
Yeah, No, it said that she wasn't she would Maybe I didn't
read this article very No, I swear I actually saw this in the last
week or two. The most gorgeous woman on TV right now is Donna from
Suits because Number one, she's a redhead. I love redheads. She's tall,
she is a bad ass. She says, I'm a bad ass.
Are they all lawyers? She's a pairalegal, but she's super smart. And
then Megan Markle is a pairalegal and she's also super smart. But I just
don't you know, I mean whatever, She's very attractive, duh. But
Donna is the most attractive woman on TV right now. Well, I mean
but previously, because it's not currently. Yeah, that's true. On a
different note, I'm finishing up my maternity to leave with my first child,
and I'm so sad. The only saving grace is that I have an early
morning prep at school and I can listen to the Dave Ryan Show each morning.
Thanks for all the laps and positivity. I'm going to need to get
through this staff writer, Anna, and Anna, I'm going to take a
picture of your screen and I'm going to send you the first staff writer sticker,
So congratulations Anna. Next one, let me see I have not pre
read these, okay, so I'm not going to That's actually not a good
one for the radio, So I'm going to move on to another one.
Good morning, says Ashley, I'm surprised you continued droop therapy yesterday after the
woman who obviously drove home drunk. If she made the poor decision to cheat
on her boyfriend and then got a hickey in her car without remembering it,
she should have not driven home. That woman was a clown. I don't
think she was drunk, because we asked her if she'd had been drinking,
but she did not say that she was drunk. No, and she also
didn't say that she didn't remember it. At least from my recollection, it
was that she didn't realize it was happening when it was happening. That's what
it was. I will question, though, Ashley, you're right in that
how would you not know somebody's given you a freaking hickey on your neck.
I don't think she was drunk, but you're right. I am so against
drunk driving that if that would have been part of the story, I would
have been like, no, sorry, it's like, oh yeah, you
were drunk driving. Oh that's funny, Glad you got away, Glad you
didn't kill anybody. I don't think that's funny. When people go, well,
god, I hope you get home Okay, it's like, no,
I hope you don't kill anybody on your way home. Ah nixt we I
am not a Disney fanatic, but my advice on how to prepare for Disney
here we go. I am very analytical and find the science and making the
trip more efficient with less waiting in lines a worthy endeavor. I highly recommend
that you use a Disney travel agent. We talked about this a couple of
days ago. I know you talked about travel agents and don't generally use them,
but for navigating Disney, they are a godsend. On top of using
a travel agent to help book restaurants, hotels and create itiners, I also
plead with anyone to pay for and understand the Lightning Past system. Yes,
it is more money on top of an already outrageous amount, but given what
you're already spending there, the Lightning Pass can double the rides you can go
on and is more than worth it to maximize the fun. If you do
it right and understand how to bend the system of your advantage, it can
make a world of difference for enjoyment, especially for the kids. There's also
a great video on YouTube called Disney's Fast Pass, a complicated history that gives
fascinating insight into Disney's progression on this system. As always, thank you for
both for being great at what you do. Staff writer Paul. The Lightning
Pass thing is confusing, but if you figure it out, you got to
watch like a twenty minute video to even understand how Lightning Pass work. Yeah,
I haven't been to Disney since I think they infiltrated all that stuff in
there. I think there was something where you could kind of budge the line
a little bit, but that has changed so drastically since the last time I
was at Disney. It is and that's the thing about Disney is the lines
us and the Lightning Pass. I think you reserve in advance, like,
oh, okay, I want to go on Peter Pan's flight today between noon
and twelve forty five. So you reserve your spot and you show up in
the Lightning Pass line and only people with a reservation can get in the Lightning
Pass line. Okay, And it shows up on your Disney Watch and I
mean little wristband, and so it's worth it. But it is. It's
funny, Paul, that going to Disney World has become so complicated to get
on a ride, you have to watch a twenty minute video on how to
use lightning pass, so thank you for that one. I feel like as
an adult now, since I haven't gone since I was nine years old,
I would really like Disney. But my problem is one of my least favorite
things in the world is waiting in line. So I don't know that I
really would like I just I know so many people who do Disney as adults,
like couples that go that are my age, like, they don't have
kids, they just go on their own, And to me, the thought
of just waiting in line for rides all day is not fun. No,
And that is that is the agony of going to is the lines, and
you get up to the line and it usually gives an estimate like ninety five
minute waight or fifteen minute wait, and of course the ones that you really
want to go on have the one hundred and thirty minute wait or whatever it
is. And we went five eight years ago to go on Avatar, which
was supposed to be this amazing ride, so we got up early, went
to the other park. It was not in the park that we were staying
in, so I think it was an animal Kingdom. So we get to
Animal Kingdom and the line was already four hours long before the park even opened.
We've waited in it for about two hours and we finally said we've waited
for two hours. It's another two hours. This is no ride is worth
a four hour wait? Yeah, so we got out. We went on
Jungle Cruise. I think I don't remember for sure, but yeah, the
lines are are awful, no question. Good morning, David, Jenny.
It's five thirty am and I just finished feeding my six month old back to
sleep. Want to send a shout out to single parents out there. My
husband recently gone for a week for work for a week, and although his
help is minimal, it's still definitely better than nothing. Being a single parent
for the week was exhausting and raise my anxiety greatly. I want to give
a shout out and praise the single parents that do this every day. You
rock, keep it up. Being a parent is already a thankless job,
so I know it cannot be easy. But your kid deserves everything you've done
for them, and they will appreciate it and recognize it one day, maybe
in the distant future, but they will also Jenny, if you do end
up getting pregnant for radio content. I encourage you to ensure either your or
Andrew's parents are near because I cannot imagine how people have kids without their parents
nearby to help watch the kid. We had two weddings to attend since our
son was born, and this early, I can't imagine leaving him with anyone
other than my family. But praise to the parents who can or just have
to. I'm sure it's not easy. Oh and she does put her sticker
her address for the staff writer a sticker, So I'm going to take a
picture of this and I will mail these out later today. Okay, yeah,
if I had a child right now, I do live four and a
half hours away from my parents, but Andrew's parents do live in Saint Paul,
so they're decently closed. But like they both work full time and they
are probably more social than we are. Honestly, those two have so many
activities on the weekends, like they were just in New Orleans. They're always
doing all the fun festivals around here. So I feel like I watch my
sister drop the kids off at my mom's constantly because it's like a four minute
drive like fonn lax. Small enough she can drop them off. It's very
simple, Okay, I think it'd be a little bit more complicated to get
as much help with Andrew's parents. They would do it, but I think
that they also have a life of their own, so I do know,
I hear that that you want to be around somebody's parents if you're having kids,
for that extra help. We you know, it's fun because we raised
Alison without family around. We raised her in Arizona for two years or so
and then here for the rest of her childhood, and we didn't have family,
but she was just one and there were two of us, so it
was not difficult. And you know, we'd have a babysitter once in a
while when she got older. When Carson was around. Beth, my older
daughter, lived here and went to the U, and so she was around
to help out. She'd live with us for a lot of the time in
the seven, most of the time in summer, always vacations and weekends.
But she helped out a lot too. But I don't know what Alison and
Justin, my daughter and her husband, would do with their two little girls
three and one without grandparents around. And they've got both sets of grandparents here.
To help out. So because man, let me tell you, Jenny,
when those girls come over, I hear you tell me it's exhausted.
It is exacting me something. Then you finally get that person set and then
the other one needs something, and it's just a constant like back and forth.
It is very either one needs attention or one wants attention. So Ava
loves Pipa, that's what she calls me, Pepa. But Sunday morning,
I had some work to do because you know, we have a show to
get ready for the week to get ready for. So I'm sitting at the
table on my computer and she's trying to get my attention and she literally picture
this in your mind. She crawls up on the chair next to me,
leans into my face an inch from my face, and goes e, big
smile, like have not gotten your attention any other way, Pepa. So
I'm gonna do my best as a three year old to get your attention by
getting up next to you, leaning on you, just sitting in your face
and biggest smile ever and going e. And I couldn't resist it, as
like, okay, that was adorable because it was a desperate, last ditch
attempt to get attention. Last one for now, and by the way,
one other rule on the Minnesota Goodbye. What is it called staff right,
We need to read your email for you to get the sticker, so you
can't just and people will send in something like hey, I want to be
a staff writer to get my sticker. Well, we got to read your
email for you to get a sticker, so if we don't read it,
then it could be that it was maybe a little bit too long, or
maybe we talked about that subject already. But I want you to get your
sticker because that's pretty cool to put it on your yetty bottle or your laptop.
Jessica says, listening to the Minnesota Goodbye, I heard you talk about
buy nothing groups. I did not understand them at first and wanted to share
that I've come to find out they are awesome, much better than bringing items
to goodwill because you know somebody will actually use it. I've given away old
sandals, close workout equipment, petiems, etc. It's nice to know somebody
will actually give it a second life. A great way to declutter. I
do think these groups need to draw the line somewhere, though I personally don't
ever take open items. But I see people pick up half you shampoo,
lotion, makeup. Weirds me out. But I'm also glad it doesn't go
to waste. Yeah, there is like stuff like that are half open,
like food items, but that kind of it's fine that it stays. But
yeah, there are some weird, weirder things on there. Sometimes she goes
on to say, and wrap it up the email, I'm going to open
up that window again. However, some things just belong in the trash.
I once saw someone giving away the sprite from a two liter bottle because they
needed the bottle for their kids' science experiment, but didn't want the sprite to
go to waste, so they said somebody could come by pour the sprite in
their own container. Well, update, the next day they had to pour
the sprite into another container because the kid really needed the bottle. So somebody
could come get the sprite with their own container. To pick up this sprite
that has now been open and put in a random container. And guess what
somebody did. They picked it up the next day. I am all for
sustainability, but my gosh, fifty cents worth of flat sprite can just go
down the drain somebody came by and picked up sprite. That is astounding and
impressive at the same time. Thanks for listening to my buye nothing story.
Join one today, Jessica. Thank you Jessica for being on the Minnesota Goodbye.
So I'm clicking buttons here to make sure that I don't read the same
email again. And thank you for listening. Become a staff writer. Send
me an email if we read it on the Minnesota Goodbye. Include your address
and I will send you a staff writer sticker again if you haven't seen him
yet. They're on my Instagram Dave Ryan KWB and they're kind of cool.
They would look good on your computer or your Yetti or your Stanley Thermos bottle.
And the address is Ryan Show at KDWB dot com.
