On the count of three. All right, one, two, three,
ah right, stupid. I don't know if that's a good idea or not,
but welcome to the Minnesota Goodbye. I got a couple of takeaways from
the Minnesota Goodbye this week. One was people like it longer and people want
War of the Roses shorter. So it's interesting how it's like I want a
little bit less of that, a little bit more of this. So thanks
for being here the Minnesota Goodbye. Let's get started with some emails. We
are a little short on emails, but I found some really cool content of
things to do in Minnesota this summer, and we'll get to that in a
second. I also have things to do in Minnesota this weekend. Now,
yesterday we were reading an email from Courtney when I got the wrap it up
signal, so we had to stop now. She was the one who said,
Bailey, I follow you on Instagram and I read your updated bio.
It made me a little sad that you called yourself the homely one. I
get allowed. I get we're allowed to make fun of ourselves, and everybody
is offended by everything these days. But it's worth telling you that your beautiful
and I'm so happy you're part of the show. You've always usually obviously been
a huge fan of forever. So you changed your bio. I did because
I was pure pressure too, so I changed it. But I get that
I people don't like when others are self deprecating. I have been broken up
with by two different men for being self deprecating. Seriously. Yeah, they're
like, you're too self deprecating. Also, you interrupt me too much.
Yeah, sound like my wife. Yeah. I did mention yesterday in a
non harassment sort of way that I think you're hot because I just you have
a really unique look that is very not your I don't know your conventionally not
conventionally, you don't look conventional. But I think you're hot. I think
you have a beautiful face. That's nice. I think, Jenny, in
case you feel left out and you're looking for praise from me, not hot,
thank you. No, No, you're both. Everybody show is actually
hot. I think everybody on the show is pretty attractive. And I think
that, you know, we make fun of vont for being ugly. Vought
is not. He's actually a pretty good looking guy. But I think that's
why we get away with calling him ugly because he knows that he's not ugly.
So the only ugly one on the show is this guy right here.
Oh boy. So she goes on to say, with more content, she
says, third is the trend in music right now? Whiney bitches. Wow.
All of the songs played during the Morning show are Teddy Swim's Whiney Bitch,
Noah Khan Whinier Bitch, Benson Boone the Whiniest Bitch. The other songs
that get sprinkled on are the sprinkled In or the whiniest Taylor Swift song ever
made, or the inaudible song Espresso, in which espresso is the only word
I can make out. So is whining the trend? Aside from country anyway?
The morning show can play a few different songs like the afternoon or night
show. How is the music decided? I know Rich and Zach, but
how do they decide? I don't know how they decide? I really don't.
I mean, there's like studies done of like what are the topless and
two songs in our area? Because it'll vary. I go back home to
Wisconsin. In the top forty stations in Wisconsin play like some of the similar
stuff, but they play different stuff than us, so there is research done
on it, usually a big state. This is what I know is that
smaller market radio stations they usually play newer music and that's where it kind of
gets tried out. And it does well in fond de Lac, or it
does well in I don't know, eau Claire. Then it might do well
in a bigger city. But on a station like KATWB, we play it
is a ton of research. They do research nationwide locally and they'd be like,
Okay, when we play this song for people, they like it.
That's why fast Car was played for so long, because somebody would test it
and people would say, yeah, I still like it so and people still
do like it, but they don't want to hear it anymore. My bus
example was the song Hotel California by the Eagles. That song, that's the
thing. Everybody likes that song, but you've heard it so much you don't
care if you ever hear it again, right, And that was something that
I learned when I was like twenty one years old. It was like,
Okay, everybody loves Hotel California, nobody wants to hear it anymore because they've
heard it so many times. As far as whiny bitches, I don't know.
I think Noah kN song is the one that I know stick season.
I'll drink alcohol till my frint that one. I like that song. Are
his songs whiny, Jenny, No, I think they're very storytelling. I
guess I'm questioning and she's saying whiny in the way that they sing, or
whiney in the lyrics, because that's what I'm not sure about. I would
never say that Sabrina Carpenter's Espresso is whiny, but I'm thinking more so of
the lyrics of it. No, I think she says those three guys are
whiny, and then if not whiny, then something like Sabrina Carpenter where she
can't understand any of the words except oh okay, I'll put that in the
whiny too. Yeah. But I guess I feel like so Teddy swim Spens
and Boone and Noah Khan, those three songs all kind of sound the same
to me. I would say, Benson, Boone and Noah Khan. Yes,
I wish the Ben Boone song that one these beautiful things that I got,
Yeah, thanks Bailey. Next one is the New Night girl in Minnesota.
It seems like she is syndicated. Yeah, she is syndicated. She
is not live here in Minnesota. So but I heard her the other night.
She does great. Yeah, I don't honestly, off the top of
my head, I don't know her name. What's her name, Jennyayla and
she lives out in LA right now? Okay, yeah, super cool.
Fifth is about Drake, And we're not going to answer that one because it
is not It doesn't paint Drake in a great light. And I'm not here
to insult Drake. You know, I got no ax to grind with anybody
who's not on the show anymore. Well, there's a couple of people who
I'm glad are not on the show anymore. But we talk about but another
day someday when like, like, I don't know, if I could tell
the truth about some of the people who have been on the show, I
would love to, but a lot of them are still in the industry and
I'm just not going to insult them or get sued. So turn like eighty
five and then you just stop giving a shit. Well yeah, and I
guess so. Or Also, I've heard that if somebody dies, then you
can talk anything because you cannot hurt the character of a dead person because it
doesn't. So for example, if like I don't know, if I were
to die, sure, and you wanted to go on the radio and say,
yeah, he was a tyrant and a jerk, and he always smelled
like bo and he stole money out of my purse when I wasn't looking.
You could do that because you can hurt my character, but it doesn't hurt
my life because I am dead. Yeah, but what about your family members?
I think that's when discretion comes in, you know what I mean.
So it's like, well, I don't want to really hurt Alison or Carson,
so I'm not going to say what a jerk their dad was. So
Carson, your dad sucks, I know. Last line from this email from
Courtney, thank you. She says, thank you for making my day extra
lickable, darting in and out of that ass. Now, okay, thank
you. That's just funny. You are a funny one, Courtney, and
I want you to write more often as a staff writer. Now, let's
see if I can find some other ones we did. I think we did
a lot of these, So I think what I'm going to get to in
a second is things to do in Minnesota this Summer. But I want to
make sure I'm not missing anything. Okay, well, let's dive into this
one. Okay, when I thought, no, I'm sorry, I'm gonna
skip this one because it is basically asking for shine Down tickets and they're very
personable, but there's really no content for the morning show. So let's delete
that one and move on to things to do in Minnesota this Summer. This
is from the current issue of Minneapolis Saint Paul Best of Summer. Wow,
if you're you know, walking through Bayerley's or cub and you see it,
it's a yellow cover and it's got a bunch of things. So let's go
through a few of these and see what we want to do. Okay.
For example, let's do Jones in the Park. Anybody ever heard of Jones
in the Park now? Okay, it is known to many loyal fans as
a date night win small restaurant on Snelling nearly doubles in size during the summer
when the patio opens. You never heard of that one. Let's try another
one, Stanley's Northeast. Anybody, Yeah, of course, Okay, that's
if your best friend is a city dog without a yard. You might want
to follow up a day in the park with an evening on Stanley's patio craft
beer and scratch made tavern food, and your four legged bestie has their own
menu and complimentary mats to lay on and doggy dishes with fresh water all night
long. Wow. I mean it's your pretty basic bar in Northeast, is
it? Yeah? Okay? See PD Pappies? Anybody heard of PD Pappies?
Yes? What is PD Pappies? Anybody you know? Also a bar?
Right? Yeah, seasonal bar built on good life, music and strong
drinks. If you go early, you get a good burger in a quiet
patio. Later you got to make room for the dancing fools. You need
to cool off. That's in stillwater apparently. Oh okay. I was like,
why do I know that? But I don't think I've been there.
Next one is Twilight Treats and Sweets, So I'll give you a couple of
these. Has anybody heard of honey and makis? Yes, Jenny, I'm
it is ice cream? Yeah? Have you heard of honey and makis?
What are you giggling about? I'm just about Has anyone heard of this?
Has anyone heard of this. It's kind of like, is this your card?
Is this your car? Your card? Clubs? It is a it's
inside of Plymouth Strip Mall, but it gets good reviews. This one is
Licks Unlimited. Have you guys heard of Licks Unlimited? Is this your card?
Is this your card? I've heard of it because of you, Okay.
Licks Unlimited is on Water Street in downtown Excelsior. Yah. Yeah,
And they close during the winter, but it's open during the summer. There's
always a line out the door. And you see so many people walking down
Water Street in excels here with an ice cream coat in their hand. And
I've been there many times. It's delightful. This says end your Lake Minuetaka
day with the way families have been for forty years with a scoop or two
at this Water Street favorite. The next gen is running the shop now,
introducing eco friendly compostable cups and a few new flavors. For example, there's
one called the Bourbon Spiked Exhausted Parent. But it's really cool. It's just
an old school there's maybe two tables in there. You get your ice cream,
you wait in line, and then you leave. All right, Next
one bask in the afterglow. Let's try this one. Saint Anthony Maine,
the best urban sunset in the Twin Cities. Find that it's Saint Anthony Maine
as the sun dips behind the skyscrapers on the west side of the river,
and have a taco or margarita at Hefe Urban Cochina. Anybody know anything about
this? Yeah, Hefe is great. I don't know what the vibe is
over there right now, with the Stone Arch being under construction, it's probably
not as hoppen. Yeah, because, as I say, it is gorgeous
watching the Stone Arch and the sun coming down with the lance or the skyscrapers
the side of the river is like the most beautiful place to stand if you
want to get like a good eye full of Minneapolis. Yeah, I believe
that. Okay, I haven't been in St. Anthony, Maine in a
long time. I'm a love it. I know what they used to make
movies here. There's steps. There are famous steps over on St. Anthony,
Maine that climb from the river level up to the street level. And
there was a scene from a Christian Slater movie where he climbs those stairs,
and so I don't remember what. Maybe Untamed Heart where he gets a transplant
of a monkey heart. Oh you guys know this movie? Oh no,
not at all. I never mind. Let's try this one. Here's these
are things to do in Minnesota this summer. Peer five hundred. It's right
on the water in Hudson, on the e side of the Saint Croix.
It offers majestic pine edge, very northern feelings, sunset fus. Get a
patio table, a slab of prime rib, a glass of Cabernet sauvignon,
and call yourself the winner of the day. It's nice. I wouldn't mind
a prime rib in a Cabernet sauvignon. Now, see, you strike me
as the kind of person who turns their nose up at meat, but you
actually love meat. I do like meat. I mean I'm not gonna like
seek it out. But if there's a steak on a menu and someone else
is buying, yeah, I'll take it. Okay, good, Let's do
some other one. Saint Paul Brewing. You guys know about Saint Paul Brewing.
Have you been, Dave? No? Oh, it's awesome. It
is a cool brewery. Awesome. There's it's just like they've got this beautiful
little courtyard area that's just got plants, and it's all brick, and it
looks cool and old, and there's bikes and swings. Here's a description.
Everything about this place feels like a magical discovery. So consider how a sunset
painted sky would boost that. Tucked within the historic Hams Brewery, the patio
stretches behind sp B Saint Paul ruin, in the rooms of ruins of brick
walls, curated garden art creates sculptural moments that aid and securing secret knooks to
meet. It's the drinker's brigadoon for summers. So nice. His parents love
going there. Andrew's parents love going there. They live in Saint Paul,
so they've been asking us to gother to get us sun Here's one brew house,
brew Labs. That's a great place too. Okay, you guys know
so much more than I do. Is it brew House or Bajaus? Oh?
Bowhouse? Yes, thank you, Jenny. Bahaus is the best bowhouse,
it says. Brewery patio hopping in Northeast is a right of summer.
Having a beer on a local craft brewery patio is a great way to make
new friends, especially if you all agree to sally forth to the next one.
Okay, they have good eats. Blah blah blah. Next one shrom
Vineyards. It is a vineyard and a brewery. I've been there a couple
of times. It's in Waconia or just south, kind of hidden in a
field in Waconia and WLACONI have like a cute little downtown as well. Or
no. My thinking is it's cute. I'm not gonna say I love downtown
Waconia, but it's good. There's a couple of little places. It's I
think it wants to be like a downtown excelsior, and it just comes up
a little bit short. Now if I'm wrong, maybe I haven't been downtown
Waconia for a while. They do have a great brewery and some great little
local bars in downtown Waconia. But Shroms is a great little place with you
know, it's kind of a place where you go and you take a deck
of cards or scrabble game and you sit and you have wine or beer.
It's definitely very busy on weekends though, if you're going on like a nice
summer weekend, Okay, let's do some other ones and the things that you
can do during the summer paddle border, kayak on a local lake or river.
Rentals make it easy. They do canoes and kayaks on lake minno washed,
and I go, is it minwashed it? Yeah? Yeah? And
you go and you're like fifteen dollars for a kayak or a canoe and that's
a lot of fun that way. You don't have to transport it back and
forth on you your car or store it in your garage. Friend and I
are renting out a pontoon in a couple of weeks for one of my friend's
birthdays. And we did it last year too, and it's really fun.
I can't believe they trust people to just like, hey, you want to
rent this pontoon, great, drive it out and then drive it back in.
That's what I'm curious about too, because you don't have to have a
boat license or anything in particular license. I think, no idea how to
drive a boat. Yeah, And I don't know how to drive a boat
no, And and I could go rent one if I wanted, totally intuitive.
The only thing about driving a boat that's a little tricky is if it's
windy and you're trying to park it. Yeah, because I used to have
a boat and a couple of times we went to Fledgers or Maynards, and
if it's windy and wavy, it's really hard to get your boat into a
little slip. So you throw the rope to the doc boy or the dock
girl and they kind of pull it in for you. But yeah, driving
a boat is really no harder than driving like a go kart down at Mall
of America. Give you another one. Things to do this summer. Spend
a day at Valley Fair riding roller coasters. That's a big one. Skip
a work day and go to at least one Twins game. Spend the whole
day at the Minnesota Zoo see the animals, eat lunch, wander along the
New Tree Tree Top trail, and get ice cream out at Scooped. Hit
the rooftop at BRIT's Pub for a beer and some lawn bowling. And by
the way, shout out to whoever wrote this. I'm not gonna give not
give them credit. Best of Summer in Minneapolis, St. Paul and I
don't have the writer's name, but I'm gonna go ahead and try. Peter
Diamond shout out Peter Diamond. I think he might have done some of the
research on this one. Another one sneak an evening treat at Badema Cosca Pavilion
and enjoy a walk in sunset view. Yeah, that's a brand new pavilion
too, like brand Oh yeah the spot that burned down. Yeah, yeah,
it's good. There's a woman on my Instagram story right now and she
says bede of Cosca totally differently, and I'm like, is she right or
are we right now? I'm you know you're right with days? Yeah,
okay, she says, but a cask of something? Yeah, and let
me find it for you, just can you hear it? And like,
what's her background that we would trust that she's maybe saying it right? She
lives here, I don't know, let's find it. Work at Mill City
Museum, not that that's anywhere near but day Macaska. But we I worked
there when it like switched over, Yeah, could you turn that down?
Sorry to say I can't here Bailey over here. And so we had to
be like trained in how to say it, and we were trained by like
someone who spoke I don't know a jib. I don't know if it's no,
it's not a jibway Lakota. I want to say Lakota. So here
it is. I'll play it for you here. She is hold on a
lot of people know this already, but yesterday I was attacked at LAKESCA.
That's I know that girl. Do you know that? What do you know
about that girl? Well, I went to college with her and we were
on an executive board and I heard that story about her, and unfortunately,
it's like sad what happened. And she was like robbed mugged in the middle
of the day by the lake and there was a restaurant nearby that the worker
saw it all happen and helped her out and stuff, and I think someone
stopped one of the guys and police came and was able to arrest one of
them. But yeah, I do know that person. That's so odd that
you know her. Did you see that on Instagram? I did, because
it's been going viral for from like local influencers that I know, and one
of the local influencers is her sister, and so I saw it with that
once and then I've had some people send it to me and yeah, I
do know her. So she's a great person. But yeah, funny that
you That is really weird. That's what happens when you work with people who
have lived here for a long long time. I did pick it up.
It is Bede Macska. That's how you say it. So why would she
manipulate it to sound different? Is she? I'm kind of surprised because she's
a very intelligent person and I'm very successful, so and I think sometimes not
an insult to her, but I think sometimes intelligent people want to show you
they're a little more intelligent than you by doing something that they want to say
you're wrong, I'm right. Or she could just not live in the Minneapolis
area and have no idea how to say it true. I feel like she's
not. Then ask somebody. I think she was just telling a story and
was like, okay, I think this is how you say it. I
don't know. She got mugged, Dave, leave her alone. I guess
I would say the name right, I don't know. Okay. Another one.
You do play mini golf at the Walker. You did that last summer,
didn't you, Ja, Yeah, it's so fun. Yeah, I
just expect to have to probably wait if you're going to do that, expect
to wait right, yeah, okay, okay, let's turn the page and
see if there are some other ones. I think that's all of them.
There's there's a bunch more, but I obviously can't go through all of these.
Their last one they said the final must do we all agree about go
to the Great Minnesota get together. Whether you make a day of it or
twelve days, the State Fair is the best way to close out the summer
with a bang. And again thanks to they didn't give me permission, but
you know, I'm going to give shout out, maybe sell some magazines Minneapolis
Saint Paul Best of Summer, and that is the you know what. It
might be an older episode or issue because it says May twenty twenty four and
today is June seventh. So you can also go on the Meet Minneapolis website,
which is just Minneapolis dot org and you can search their calendar literally by
either today, tomorrow, the weekend, or like the whole month or next
week, and it just shows you a bunch of stuff and you can like
organized by category. If you're interested in theater, community, dance, festivals,
fitness, What is your one of your favorite things to do in the
summer. I mean, the State Fair is an obvious one. I love
the State Fair, but it also always reminds me that summer is coming to
an end. And after it ends, the kids go back to school the
next day, so something to do. I I like going to Minnewashta and
taking along a bag of charcoals, some burgers and some condiments and a couple
of drinks and lawn chairs and doing a little picanic there on the shores by
Lake Minawashta. I don't like to plug it too much because it's already gotten
more crowded because we've talked about it on KATIEWB and a lot of people that
didn't know how great Lake Minwashta Regional Park is now they go. So now
it's not crowded, but it's busier than it was. And I've even wanting
I want to go there now because I've never been, so now I'm gonna
start rolling in and being like this is my leg baby. It's like Central
Park. People don't realize how huge and vast it is. Yeah, and
it's a beautiful lake with a swimming beach. And I don't think they sell
concessions. They do it. Lake and Regional Park, which is really nice,
and that's you know, that's fine, give me one of your favorite
things in the summer to do, Jenny. Truly, I'm very sad about
it because I can't do it anymore. But Andrew and I would go to
Valley High Drive in every single summer, and that hasn't been open for two
summers now, and I doubble check their website again today hoping that like maybe
something happened that they reopen for the summer, and they haven't, So that
makes me sad. But mostly just the fact that, like the sun stays
out late, and I'm just more inspired to do things at like seven pm,
like go on a bike ride instead of just like, oh, it's
time to be inside, it's dark, it's cold, whatever. It's really
just like that extra inspiration to get out and do something. Like you were
out on a walk last night. We walk, Yeah, I was still
out. It was lovely. It was so nice out, Yeah, beautiful.
What time was your walk last night? Well, I mean I went
on a walk in the afternoon, and then I went on another one because
it was so lovely, and so I left at maybe six forty five and
I didn't get back until eight fifteen. Wow, you're up for a long
time. Yeah. I went out for a later walk last night too.
Is like, I'm not going to sit around the house. I just I
want to go outside. So I took Josie out for a couple of miles.
Give me something you want to do in the summer in Minnesota. Well,
I mean, obviously walking around all the parks and all the lakes and
whatnot is what wonderful. But I do really like going to breweries and sitting
outside, and so I will take advantage of any friend I have that is
willing to hang out at a patio at a brewery with me. Okay,
yeah, and nice summerstime, Minnesota. What about you? There's an idea?
Maybe you want to send us a couple of ideas for things that you
love to do this summer, because come Monday, we are going to need
some more letters and emails and content for the Minnesota Goodbye. That's why we
call you a staff writer, because we need you to write. And you've
written before, and we read it, we had a good time with it.
Please write again. If you've written before and we never quite got to
it, then try again. If you've written before and or you've never written.
We'd love to hear from you, send your thoughts, anything you want
to talk about, because really that is the heart of the Minnesota Goodbye.
And if you want to ask something a little bit more dicey or whatever,
something more personal, this is the place to do it because we get to
talk about things on the Minnesota Goodbye we don't normally talk about on the show.
