All right is the Dave and Drake week on the Minnesota Goodbye. Can I
ask you a question? Yeah, what does your hat mean? It says,
just send it? What does that mean? It means just send it?
Like you know, like I think it originated from you know, people
that ride four wheelers and stuff. They'll like go off jumps to be like,
ah, just send it, dude, let's go full speed. I
think that's where it adapted. But it like it just is normal part of
life now, you know, like, oh, I don't know if I
can eat that many, you know, crunt trap supremes. Just send it?
Yeah, eat them all? Okay, So kind of like go for
it. Yeah, yeah, kind of like that. Okay, I thought
I had. I've been staring at that all morning, going what does that
even mean? This is like my favorite hat because it fits perfectly on my
head? It does? Yeah? I like that. All right, let's
dive in here we go. This one says, what the heck? I
heard a guy on the radio this morning who wanted to buy a twelve thousand
dollars watch. I am all for him wanting to leave a family heirloom,
But come on, this was we did this a couple of days ago,
and we played it again this morning. It was called I buy it,
and he said, I want to buy a twelve thousand dollars Rolex. Here's
what Rachel has to say. Twelve thousand dollars could give one hundred and twenty
families one hundred twenty dollars the difference between buying kid's presence or not. Plus
you can send positive vibes to twe hundred and twenty families. This helps encourage
others to give back to others. This just one active kindness can do so
much in a world where there's so much trouble right now, the possibilities are
endless. As for leaving something to your future family, leave them with your
legacy, your example of how to make the world a better place, this
lesson reaches a lot farther than one material object, just saying that's from Rachel.
Now, this is really interesting to me because you go first, Rachel,
when and but I say that you go first, you take something that
you want to buy, or a trip that you want to take, or
a pair of skis you want to get, and don't get them. Instead
donate that to charity. Right, I think I don't know I think the
I think you should buy it. I don't know. I don't I think
getting mad at somebody for wanting to buy an expensive thing for them. They're
successful, you know, like just because they want to buy something that expensive
doesn't mean they haven't given in the past or anything like that. You know,
it's actually more likely if they're able to afford something like that and that
he has, and it's just it's like, Rachel, I love you.
I know that you mean well on this one, but we will agree to
disagree on this one. If you want to buy something and it's your money
that you earn, fair and square, you buy what you want. I
am not I can make fun of you, but I should never say,
well, you should donate that to charity, because Rachel, I'm going to
guess that instead of like, you know, if I said, well,
no more Caribou or Starbucks for you, Rachel, you instead have to take
every eight dollars you would spend on your frappuccino and give it to charity.
You'd be like, but I want that frappuccino. And I could say,
well, you don't need it. It's going to be gone in twenty minutes.
There's somebody else that needs that frappuccini. Right, So I do think
that it is a little bit of an idealistic way to look at the world,
that instead of having any luxuries or fun, that we should always donate
to people who don't have anything. So we will agree, what do you
think. Maybe I'm totally wrong, and maybe Rachel you're listening and you want
to like tell me what a dickhead I am. But yes, it is
good to donate to people who need it. But at the same time,
you have a right to do whatever you want with your money. How cool
would it be there to have a twelve thousand dollars Rolex, I would be
I'd be so badass. I'd be literally flaunting it so much. I mean,
I you know Julie Chas his mom. Julie grew up very wealthy.
She got a Porsche for her sixteenth birthday. She acted. Then her dad
bought her another Porsche and they had at one point Arizona's largest soup Pima cotton
farm. Supima is like a very special blend of cotton, and at one
point her dad ran and owned Arizona's largest sup Pima cotton farm. Julie never
really had to work. She kind of worked for the cotton farm a little
bit. And Julie had a Rolex and her dad gave it to her and
she was like fifteen or eighteen or whatever, and she loved that role X.
But I never got the appeal. I think roll Xes are kind of
an ugly watch. Yeah, and I don't really I mean, if you
were gonna give me one Drake for Christmas, I would take it, but
I don't really want one. Well, it's kind of like, you know
people that wear watches. You know, there's people that wear watch do you
not anymore? I used to. But here's the difference is I only wore
it just because of the looks. There's some people that wear it because there's
like there's meaning behind it. Oh, it was like it's like it comes
from like family descent or something like that. I just wore them because they
looked cool. So like a guess, thinking about spending twelve thousand dollars on
a watch just for looks is kind of deceiving. But yeah, I don't
know. I mean, I don't think Rolexes are definitely to impress people.
I was in the Bahamas and they sell fake Rolexes. Oh god, yeah.
Let me just tell you this one. Never buy a fake Rolex in
the Bahamas. It'll run for about a day. And I'm not shitting you
when I tell you it won't run anymore. Yeah, and nobody will fix
it because it's not a real Rolex. Did you buy a fake roal roll?
Hell yeah I did. And you know, you ask him, You're
like, is it real? They're like, oh yeah, I'm gonna do
a bad bahaman accent. I'm not going to do it. They're like,
oh yeah, mine, it's really good. And it's like, is it
real? Oh yeah, I guarantee. And then you know, because it
says Rolex on it, right, and they'll charge you two hundred dollars for
it, which is probably an eighteen dollars watch. And it ran for a
couple of days. And then you do the thing where you wind it and
it doesn't wind. And so I got an Apple Watch. I'm I will
probably never wear another watch other than my Apple Watch. That's fair, yeah,
because I just really like it. Next one Sesna, who has written
in a few times. One is share my photo of my staff writer's sticker
placement. I've been looking to fill my laptop for a couple of months now,
and this sticker took a big chunk of empty space and I love it.
Thanks for sending that. She shows the back of her laptop and there's
a bunch of like fun little stickers of like a water bottle and some plants
and a cup and a popsicle and the staff wrider sticker. So cool.
We don't really fit in with your decor and your theme, but I'm really
flattered by the way. Chow also put one on his water bottle, So
thanks for sending that in. I really appreciate that one. I've been listening
back to all episodes of the podcast and I just heard the first one Drake
was on. It was so fun to listen to how horrible he was at
Think Fast. He has gotten a lot better at that game since that day,
for sure, ha ha ha. Any plans for a Friday game day
anytime soon? I love when you guys bring listeners in for games or just
when you three games play games most of the day. Love all you guys
so much. And one last thing, can you play Jenny's midnight stacking please?
It's my favorite midnight snacking. It's my favorite from CESNA. We want
to do a game day and we're trying to work it out with management that
we can do it from the sky room, our big performance room, and
they are, honestly, they're dragging their feet, Drake, I don't know
why we get well. It feels like sometimes we're the redheaded step child of
the radio stations here in the building. Because I'll shed a little light on
pull the curtain back a little bit. K Fan is the big station in
the building right now, those guys could walk down the hallway, they on
the carpet, the shit on the carpet, they could smear it on the
walls, and the boss would go, did you see what those guys did
on the walls? Got it's so cute? We got to call up Channel
four? Could cut Channel four? You see the guys from kfan took a
shit on the walls. Look at that Channel four And then you and I
could come in like fifteen seconds late, and we'd be put on suspension.
We could like, you know, give somebody a bad look and we'd be
like, oh, you do that one more time, Drake, and you're
out of here. So and we're exaggerating a little bit, but right now
k Fan they do a show from the sky room, they do a show
from Las Vegas, and we go, hey, we're proud of our radio
show too. We want to do some fun stuff too, and I have
you know, my theory is if you want to be a big show,
you got to do big things. And so I said, let's do something
big ish by doing the game show day from the sky room. And they're,
you know, they're they're it's good reason. They want to be able
to sell it to a sponsor, like have holiday station stores provide coffee and
donuts or whatever. So it's just like it takes a little bit longer.
So you and I and Jenny sit here going, but we want to do
something big too. Meantime k Fan they they had Taylor Swift in the other
day and she brought a muffins yeah, and I'm exaggerating muffin yeah, because
they get to do all the big fun stuff. Anyway, Thank you,
Sesna. Next one, Hello to Jenny and the Morning Zoo crew. I've
been meaning to write in for weeks, but I've been on maternity leave since
September home of the two month old, and chasing a three year old around
doesn't leave extra time in my day. Literally been catching up on both the
shows episodes and the Minnesota Goodbye since the middle of September. Naively, I
thought I would have all this extra time in the world to catch up on
episodes, and boy was I wrong. I found myself on so many occasions
listening and thinking I needed to mail you guys about so many thoughts from the
show in the Minnesota Goodbye, but never got around to it and ultimately forgot
what I was going to email about. Blame it on mom brain. It
is a real thing. I want to thank you guys for providing me with
entertainment during my maternity leave and an outlet to the outside world as I juggle
having a new baby and being consumed with household duties, nursing a baby,
entertaining a toddler, and repeat. I've had countless moments of frustration, short
fuses, tears, and exhaustion. Some days, listening to your show was
the only thing that made me smile or laugh. Don't get me wrong,
I love my children and husband and sometimes it would take me days to get
through one episode of the show because of how many interruptions I had whilst listening.
Nice use of the world word whilst I hope you all had a nice
Thanksgiving, enjoy the upcoming holiday season. Thank you again for being an awesome
show and distraction from the day to day's stress. Dart Lick, dart Lick,
here's my address if you're interested in sending him out a sticker. I
included a photo of a baby girl, Madeline bay May and big sister Emmy
Lou and that is from Melissa in Red Lake Falls, Minnesota. This sounds
like she has had a very, very busy couple of months. I'm going
to get her a margarita and lay her down for a nap. I think
it's a great idea. I will tell you this one. You have a
two month old and a three year old, and let me tell you something.
Alyssa busy. It is, Drake. You don't even know. I
know. We had yesterday, Ava, who is just past three years,
and Evelyn, who has just passed one year, came to the house because
Alison needs a break, so she'll bring the babies over and between me,
Carson, Susan and Alison entertaining them, it was still a lot. Ava
is at an age where she will do anything to get your attention. If
you're not paying attention, she will get in your face and go just to
get your attention. And she doesn't like to share with Evelyn. Evelyn was
standing on a footstool and Ava wanted to get on the footstool. Evelyn won't
let me get she's not sharing, and so then they get a little bit
physical with each other. And it is fucking constant. I believe it.
I believe it. And it's fun and it's great, but you literally have
to give up everything else you want to do when you've got two little kids.
Yeah, what age does that kind of like what age are you kind
of like starting to relax on stuff like that? Depends on the parent.
And I'll say why, because when Alison was that age, we got plenty
of break time by parking her in front of Barney on TV. He really
did and Alison does not really do that. Ava does not have a tablet.
A lot of kids that age will have a tablet, which I don't
think is a good idea, but at the end, I was the one
who didn't have a tablet. So we put her in front of the VHS
of Barney. Same with Carson, we put him in front of the VHS
of the Wiggles, but Alison doesn't really believe in that, sure, and
Ava doesn't really respond to that. But it was like Alison needed a break,
so we were trying to keep ava an Evelyn away from Alison so she
could read her kindle. So Allison's cuddled up on the couch reading your kindle
and I think she got about three and a half minutes and Drake because there
was just no way those kids were So let me tell you, if you
have kids and you think it's going to be a romanticized world of me and
my baby against the world, fuck that, you are going to be so
surprised what work they are to give them a good experiences as a child.
So Alyssa, I feel for you. Next one, Katie says, I
know you talked a lot about Gary Spivey on here, but I don't recall
ever hearing if he gets paid to be on your show or not, or
is it the promotion of him and his payment? How did he ever become
too on your show in the first place. Staff writer Katie demeris, thank
you, Katie, super curious about that because you've said Gary Spivey has been
on the show since what early two thousands, oh nineties? Yeah, really
say the nineties, I believe so yeah. Wow. So the reason is,
so many years ago we had a psychic on the show named Aileen Cunningham.
And Aileen this was back in the mid nineties, and Aileen was probably
already seventy five years old at the time, and she was getting a little
bit slower and and we it was a little bit uncomfortable or awkward as Aileen,
you know, as you get older, she slowed down a little bit,
and she's probably gone. Now I'm going to look her up really quick
and see if I can find her really quick. Here a L E N
E. See you and in Cunningham, So, was she like kind of
a part of like a normal part of the show every week? Did she
have a cover in like once a month or something or yeah, she would
come in once a month or so. And I just looked up. She
died in twenty sixteen at the age of ninety four. So her her son
would bring her in and she was in her mid seventies and she was really
good and very sweet, but she was kind of losing her fast pitch,
you know what I mean. And so we said, well, we don't
want to bring her in and she's not as quick as she used to be.
So a friend of mine who worked in Pittsburgh had a guy named Gary
Spivey on his show, and he said, oh, he's try Gary Spivey.
He's like energetic and he's fun, et cetera, et cetera. And
so we had Gary come in and Gary pretty much killed it. He was
great, a lot more energetic. And you know, I didn't love everything
about Gary. There were some things Gary did where, you know, I
don't know he would talk about I don't know. I'm trying to think of
an example of like somebody who was sick and Gary would be like, oh,
well you tell him that they got to do this and they're going to
get better. And I'm like, ah, wasn't crazy about that. Yeah,
but people love Gary, and so we had him up. But we
never paid Gary. We all always he would say, call me for a
reading. So you'd call Gary's phone number for a reading, and he would
charge like a thousand bucks an hour to that. Oh yeah, shit,
his price a lot. His price has gone up and down with like the
economy, Like sometimes it's five hundred dollars an hour, but if he gets
a ton of people that want to reading, it would be one thousand dollars
an hour. And you know what if people want to pay for it again,
it goes back to the watch. You want to buy a twelve thousand
dollars watch, or you want a psychic reading. You can do whatever you
want with your money. So there you go, Katie, And next one
Dave Ryan Show crue longtime writer, not a longtime listener, not a first
time writer. A couple of things I wanted to bring up, Dave.
I work in healthcare and a few weeks ago I was seeing a patient who
is blind. But you used to have a career in music before he lost
his sight. As he was leaving, he told me I had a great
voice for radio. I was flattered, thanked him, and he said,
and I said, that's funny, because I'm obsessed with the Dave Ryan Show.
He was pleasure surprised and told me that years ago he worked with you,
Dave, very briefly. He said that you were incredibly kind and a
great guy to work with, which isn't common in radio. I thought that
was very cool and something you should know. It must have been a long
time ago. Because I don't remember. Well, Okay, if he went
blind after I knew him, then I wouldn't have known that he was blind.
I was going to say, I've never had a blind intern before,
But I wie he like worked. Maybe he wasn't an intern. Maybe he
just kind of like worked with the showers stuff. Yeah, I wish I
knew who that was. On to my next thing. I was driving home
to the Twin Cities from man Cato last week and witnessed the craziest thing I've
ever seen while driving. As I was driving, had to pull over a
few times because the police were flying by faster than I'd ever seen a cop
go, at least one hundred miles an hour. As I pulled into my
turn lane, I realized why a crash had resulted in a semi in the
ditch and an SUV on fire. I stayed in the lane because I didn't
know any other route or emergency vehicles continuing to pass through, So I sat
there in per view of this car going up in flames. As fire trucks,
ambulances, and more cops arrived. A Mayo helicopter even landed on the
other side of the freeway. Wow from what I could see, it looked
like everybody was out of the car, so I hope everyone made it out.
Okay. It got me thinking, what is the craziest thing you guys
have ever seen driving or have experienced during a road trip? Oh? Yeah,
do you have anything? Knock on wood? I do not, other
than I mean, I've seen cars spin out into the ditch I saw.
I mean, it wasn't that crazy. But I was on three ninety four,
like a long time ago. I remember, I was headed to a
wedding in Stillwater. So I was driving down three ninety four and a car
with like a couple of twenty year old dudes goes zipping by, weaving in
and out of traffic, going eighty ninety miles an hour, and then I
saw him get pulled over, and that was kind of like, see you,
dumb son of a bitch, you got pulled over. Have you seen
anything crazy driving? I've had a couple of things. Yeah. There was
time I just got my driver's license and there was a getaway tire. So
I was on the freeway and there was a getaway tire that was coming from
the oncoming lanes. Runaway tire, A runaway tire. Yeah, sorry,
Yeah, and it was bouncing coming right at me. God, that can't
kill you. Yep, hit the hood of my car. Thank god.
It came at me quick, so I didn't really have much time to react
by the time I saw it. But yeah, hit the hood of my
car, and then it bounced up over my car, and I don't know,
I didn't see what happened after that, but yeah, damaged, like
my what do you call that fender, the the fender of the hood,
yeah, fender hood whatever, damaged that I've had. I've had it where
gas when you're filling up your gas tank. That just kept going. So
it was like, oh god, really, and like it just wasn't shutting
off, and I had no idea what I had to do. Now I
know there's like an emergency stop button yep, right, didn't know that at
the time, so I'm like freaking out. Yeah, oh man, that's
scary, dude, that is really scary. The tire. I mean,
it wasn't even that long ago. I think it happened around here. A
tire bounced off an suv and hit a car with like three women in it
and kill them all because like, yeah, hit the windshield and kill them.
It's like, I it does remind me. I did see something one
time coming across I eighty in Nebraska. I believe it was a car.
I think a red car, if I remember in my mind's I were driving
along, you know, you're just kind of like, you know, keeping
your eye on the road, kind of watch them, but kind of bored.
Yeah, And a red car crosses off of the other oncoming traffic,
goes across the median, goes across our traffic a few cars in front of
us, and goes into the other ditch. And I remember a lot of
dust, and I remember that it could have hit somebody, but nobody hit
it. And I think they were okay. We didn't stop to look.
But yeah, they crossed like their traffic and across the median and into our
lanes of traffic. So there is nothing more scarier than when something is coming
at you opposite lane, yes, like that tire or a different car,
because like, you're going fast, and if they're coming at you like that,
they're also going fast. So it's like, don't you think Sometimes I
mean, you hear stories about like people who were killed by a driver going
the wrong way on the freeway. And I mean there was a Timberwolves player
years ago, twenty years ago, Malik Seely, who right down here on
Highway one hundred. He was coming home I think from a game or a
club or something like that, and there was a wrong way drunk driver hit
Malik Sealy head on and killed him. And if you go to Target Center,
Malik Seely's jersey is still hanging above the in the rafters. And I
always thought I'd be able to get out of the way if I saw somebody
coming at me, I'd be able to weave out of the way. You
would think if you're paying attention. Who Yeah, Like that's the thing is
like, if you're not looking ahead of you, you're looking at I don't
know, your phone, which you're not supposed to be doing that anyway,
but you know, you're just not paying attention, Like stuff happens quick.
But yeah, I feel like I'd be able to move out of the way
if I was looking next one. That's my crazy driving story my road trips,
or was when I was ten years old. I was on a motorcycle
trip with my parents in the Black Hills and a hail snowstorm rolled in.
I remember being on the back of my dad's bike being pelted with hail as
we were driving through these canyons of rocks. Scary but so beautiful. I'll
never forget it. He and my mom had to ride in the snow tired
tracks of other cars to avoid sliding. Holy shit. We eventually found a
tiny bar to take shelter, and our rain gear was soaked. I'm pretty
sure they had to mop the floor after us because of all the water we
dragged in. Because it's in the mountains, things cleared up quickly and we
later made it back to our campsite safely. That was summertime, by the
way. Anyway, those are my memories for today and I hope you find
them interesting. Yes, I'd love to hear, but the stories so we'd
love to hear. I've also love to get a staff Rider sticker. Thanks
for all you do. That is from Alison in Egan Allison, I will
send you one, dude, And yeah, I don't ride motorcycles, but
from what people have told me, like riding in rain hurts like a motherfucker.
Oh you'd so. I can't even imagine hail. Oh my god,
that brutal. No, you can't imagine it. You are right, I
got caught. I went to the eclipse, and I want to say twenty
seventeen down in I think I went all the way to Chilicothe, Missouri to
look at the eclipse. Okay, so it's one o'clock and I got to
ride back all the way back, about four hundred miles back in one day,
and on the motorcycle, I get into Des Moines, Iowa, and
it starts to rain. Then it really starts to rain. Then it really
and it's like, not only was it dangerous, it hurt like hell.
So I pulled over. I was got out the freeways under a bank drive
through. But yeah, it hurts, seriously, rain at even like forty
miles an hour really hurts. So yes, that is going to do it
for the Minnesota Goodbye. Tomorrow is Naughty Tuesday. So if there's anything you
want to ride in about on Naughty Tuesday, and I have an analogy tomorrow
about how different sex partners are like different carnival rides, and I will tell
you, Yeah, I'll tell you about that. Remind me in case I
forget. So tomorrow on the Minnesota Goodbye, we're gonna do Naughty Tuesday.
Tell me you're disgusting, naughty, embarrassing, funny sex stories or your thoughts
on anything like that, or something really kinky. You found out about your
sister in law, anything that you want. You found your mom's big black
vibrator, whatever it is you want to tell us your story about. I
am here to hear it. Send that to Ryan Show at KDWB dot com
