It is the Minnesota Goodbye. We're gonna talk about the Hawk to a Girl
because I have a couple of things to say about it. But also Von
gets credit for coming up with this line today Happy Hot to a Tuesday,
Baby talk to a Tuesday, which is pretty funny. You know, if
you don't know, by this slight chance you don't know who the Hawk to
a Girl is, Jenny, go ahead and explain it, will you.
So she was just one girl who went viral of us TikToker who was interviewing
people on the street said something along the lines of like what do you do
for a guy? And she is like, oh yeah, howktuan spit on
that thing. So then it went by viral and there have been memes and
there have been you know, I don't know, just basically people making it
viral and it's gone huge. Yeah, and it's one of those things where
by by Friday, it's gonna be old news. It's gonna be like remember,
for example, when Rebecca Black Friday came out back in twenty ten or
whatever, it was like, oh my god, have you seen this girl?
She's like fourteen years old and she sings this really funny song that's kind
of catchy with a really goofy video, and by four days later it was
like, yeah, that's old news. We moved on. Remember the black
dress or the blue dress versus the white? Yes, And did you ever
look at the blue dress and go, oh, it does look white?
And then it would change colors white and gold. They're black and blue.
Yeah, yep, yep. It did the same thing for me. So
this is kind of like, you know, the Internet sensation of the minute,
and it is the hawk to a girl. And like I said,
by Friday, it'll be old news, and honestly, it's kind of almost
already peaked. But yesterday we got into a discussion off the air. I
said, let's talk about this on the podcast about how it's gross. Yeah,
gross, and we were like, okay, whatever, it's just a
girl talking about sex. And I said, I don't care that she's talking
about sex. I'm not somebody who's like women should not talk about shacks,
they should keep that private. I don't care. The part that's gross is
she's hawking up a loogie. I don't want anything green and slimy involved in
my love. Make okay, I think you are getting this like taking this
the wrong way, because that is definitely not what she's trying to go about.
She's simply trying to just hold on. Is there an issue? No,
okay, yeah, text are just delayed. So I was just trying
to make sure, okay, sorry, we're fine. But the thing is
is like, you're not going to the back of your throat and howking up
on a loogie with this? You are doing a dainty little Yeah. She
didn't say, you know what you gotta do, You gotta hawk a loogie
up on that I get hawk to me is the noise when you're bringing something
up from down deep. And I thought, no, that's just like I
don't want that involved in the whole saic thing. She's just getting that pool
of spit spitting on that bay. Yeah, she's just she's just coordinating all
of it into one spot in her mouth for a lucky man. I don't
know, Okay, all right, So I mean I didn't I honestly never
had anybody do that. So maybe I just maybe I'm really you feel sorry.
Do we know about if any of the rumors about her are true or
not? I don't think so, because when you look online, we would
have had it confirmed by now, especially if she got fired, because the
internet would come to her defense if she had been absolutely and every article says
nobody really or it's not true. She looked well, I was gonna say,
feel though. I mean, you guys aren't parents. But I'm thinking
if that was one of my daycare providers, and like little Carson was three
or four, and there she was, and then I'm just the same woman
who like, you know, hands me Carson in his backpack at the end
of the day, would I be like, that woman has no place.
I would not. I don't think I would care. I wouldn't care.
I like Susan I saw the Hawk two a girl. Yeah, I don't
think I would care, because, like I have friends who are teachers,
and just like knowing everything I know about these specific friends, it's like,
oh, teachers are just regular people, and in school you don't think that
they're regular people. So like, if I found out my preschool teacher was
the Hawk to a girl, I'd be like, oh, she's just a
regular person. I don't know about that scenario necessarily. I know a couple
of years ago, there was a girl that got expelled from a school because
her mom did like OnlyFans and did like crazy stuff like that. So I
think it's very easy to pass judgment. It's easy to pass judgment. But
at the same time, like why do you care, Like, especially if
they're kids that are that young, they don't know what that means. Can
I No, they don't. And it's not even about the kids. It's
more about the character. But I don't think that's a reflection of their character.
I think that's just somebody being funny. She could be a loving,
wonderful, kind, ambitious person, but that's the only thing we know about
her is the hawktua. But I don't think that that means anything. If
she said something really awful or mean or racist or something like that, right,
that'd be worse. She's probably not the best person in the world.
But she was just doing something stupid and funny. Yeah, so trying to
keep her man. Yeah, you brought up only fans a minute ago.
Can I bring up just like, what do you do after only fans and
now you are too old to do only fans or you don't want to do
it anymore, but your stuff still lives out there. It's kind of like
girls who do the camera stuff, you know, what I mean, like,
uh oh yeah, like cam models, cam models, sure, and
and you you know, they sit there and they're like thanking their fans and
like, oh when you hear a chime, chime, chime, because somebody's
giving them a tip. And this is what I've heard, I've never seen
myself, and and it's like okay. So then in five years when you
are working for Merrill Lynch and the girl in the next cube is like,
oh my god, she used to be a cam girl and she would put
it and then you look it up. How do you get what is life
like after you're a cam girl or after your only fans? Do you think
people even think about that? I think it depends. But like also I
feel like how big is your audience that they are going to know you that
well from that? You know? Right, because then you wouldn't just be
like an OnlyFans person. You'd be like a porn star if people know who
you are, like specifically have to judge you for it at your new job
after the fact, right, Okay? And how cool would it be to
work at Merrill Lynch? Probably really cool. Probably have like free snacks,
ooh, free snacks. You know, I walk by the kitchen every single
day and look longingly into the kitchen to see if there's free snacks, and
there's not nearly as much as there should be. She did ask me when
I went to go get my little after show snacks. She's like, let
me know if there's any food in there. Shameless about that, and I
support it. There are some I went to years ago. I'll never forget
it. It was called it was an advertising agency up in Plymouth and was
called Marketing Architects, and I don't know if they're still there anymore, but
they were a big ad agency and I'd go in once in a while to
do like a voiceover for like some industrial chainsaw instruction video or something, and
I'd walk through the lobby past the kitchen, and the kitchen had free everything,
ships, snacks, fruit, drinks, pepsi, coke, lemonade,
whatever lemonade is free everything. And it was like in a little you know,
refrigerated case over here. Oh, do you want to microwave burrito or
a sandwich? Oh, it's over there. It's kind of like walking into
a holiday station store and getting anything you wanted for free. And I said,
this is free, and they said, oh, well, yeah,
it's one of the perks of working here. I mean, you know,
you can't stick it in a shopping bag and take it home. But yeah,
if you want a sandwich or a pepsi, of course, and they're
like, do you want one? I'm like, I've never had a job
with that like that. The only time I've seen free stuff like that is
these apartment tours I've been going on recently. When they show me, like
the model apartment, they'll open the fridge and it's like a full thing of
chips. Oh, it's a full thing of cool ranch and Nacho Dorito's in
the fridge. Yeah, or and then the snacks and then the drinks too,
like capri Son. It's crazy, Caprice Son, I'm buying this apartment?
Is Yeah, what were you gonna say, Bailey, I'm sorry,
just that if there's a Capri Son in the fridge, I'm buying that apartment.
Well, there is. I think a lot of apartment complexes, you
know, they all say luxury. Every apartment complex in the world says luxury
apartment. I'm like, that thing was built in nineteen seventy one. It
is not a luxury apartment. But they a lot of them have a coffee,
a free coffee espresso latte machine in the lobby. Are you guys aware
of this? Yep. The new place that I just signed off on two
days ago has a it's literally a whole coffee like a bar, well,
just one singular like espresso machine. It's like, okay, yeah, that's
the thing that happens. You've never described your living like where do you do
live? In a rental house or a duke trailer or apart? Where do
you live? I live in an apartment, but I my apartment is like
a historic building, so I live on like a street with all of these
historic buildings. So it's it's an apartment building and there are multiple apartments,
but it's not like a luxury like five floors. It's like two floors and
there's six people who live in it. Okay, god, yeah, it's
an old house that's been converted. No, it's it's a specifically an apartment
building. Yeah, but it's just like a brick building a complex. Yeah,
it's not a complex. I don't have like a gym in my apartment
complex. There's one washer and dryer. Okay, I gotcha. Yeah,
Okay, it's really interesting because apartments. And I've been you know, like
I've visited people who have like lived in apartments, and it's like they have
the gym, they have the pool, they have the BATCHI ball court is
that what it's called, the little thing with the balls and stuff. They
might have a putting green, they have the coffee bar in the lobby.
They've got underground parking, that got your own private balcony. It's like,
apartments are not like they were when I was twenty one or twenty and got
my first apartment. Why. Yeah, but they're springing up everywhere. Well,
those are those luxury ones for sure. Yeah, they're everywhere. They
look around, drive out of the radio station. There's apartments everywhere surrounding the
radio station. Literally, like down the one of the places I tore it
is down the street from here. It was on a GPS. It's not
even three minutes and the woman said that was building twenty twenty one. The
amenities in that place, it just crazy. Well, that's what you're paying
for. You're paying for the amenities. But then the like the materials that
they used to build the building itself are super cheap. Yeah they are.
You can hear everything through the walls. Yeah, so it's like a trash
building. I'd rather live in a building that's from nineteen seventy one because that's
going to be sturdy versus thirty the luxury apartments where you get an espresso bar,
but then you can hear everything that the dog is saying on the other
side of the wall. Yeah, okay, Well, thank you for all
the the I don't know everything from the hawk to a girl to apartments.
We covered a lot of stuff there. Let's move on a couple of emails.
This is from Neil in Roswell, Georgia. Let's find out what Neil
has to say. I love the morning show in the podcast and have been
a long time listener. I grew up and lived most of my life in
Minnesota. And the other day you were talking about drive in movie theaters on
the podcast, and I'm curious if you know about other drive ins from the
past. In the seventies and eighties, there were at least two theaters were
popular in the metro area. One was Flying Cloud Drive. Yes, right
next to where Dave flies. It was on the east side of Flying Cloud
Drive. I cannot even picture where that is. There's a dump there now
an old landfill. Maybe that's where it was on the east side of Flying
Cloud, it says, Eden Prairie. Yeah, it's I just googled it
flying Cloud Drive and it's really old, Like these advertisements look like they're from
nineteen forty something. Yeah. Wow. Another one was France, the France
Avenue drive in. It was literally located at the northwest corner of four ninety
four in France, and it had three screens. What's there now? Isn't
it a Bobby and Steve's AutoWorld or there's so much on France Avenue. I
don't know, it says it was. I'm looking this up too, because
I'm on cinema Treasures dot Org, which I can find all of this stuff
in. But it closed in nineteen eighty two, demolished in nineteen eighty six.
I don't know what's there now. Necessarily, there used to be a
drive in and it's abandoned. I'm sure when you would drive across the lift
bridge and still water and then you would go up that hill and around the
corner, and I'm thinking there was a drive in right there on the right
hand side, and there was a screen. The screen was like an assembly
it wasn't you know, it had like you know, you could go inside
the screen, and I think that it's got to be torn down now.
I don't know. Oh, are there any of the drive ins? Where
does the drive in still located? Anybody? There's one that someone recommended in
Litchfield. And then I think Alko Speedway does drive in stuff too when they
were not having their races. Yeah, so I think you can go there
too. Well that I just looked up that one that you were just talking
about, Dave, and on France Avenue. It is now a shake shack,
that's what's there. A shake shock now a great date night. Whoo.
Well, I mean, if you meet somebody who's old enough to remember
drive in theaters, I mean they used to build drive in theaters on the
outskirts of town where land was cheap, and and then as the town creeped
toward the drive in the land became way too valuable for it to be a
drive in theater. So most people over the age of forty to fifty,
for sure sixty can say, yep, there used to be a drive in
theater right there where there's now like a high school or a you know,
a shopping center or whatever. So I used to go to the one that
Jenny specified, and i'd been there, I don't know, two or three
times. That was such a nice place too, all Valley High. Yeah,
except in the freaking line to get in was always just bonkers long,
but it was a cute place. Did you ever sneak your friend into a
drive in theater in the trunk? Yes, Oh that's why something that's well,
you get charged per person who were who's in the car? So we
would have four of us in the car and then one person covered up in
the in the back. Oh it's dumb. I feel like they should charge
car. How'd you get him out? You go ahead? How'd you get
him out? Yeah? You would just you would just open. No one
checks once you part. Yeah, so they would just pop right out.
Maybe you could fit two people in the trunk. And then it's even cheaper.
And usually it's like teenage kids working though. They're like, we don't
care. Yeah, they don't give a crap. It is. It's teenage
kids working the drive through the drive in, they don't care. I remember
my friends we went to a drive in one time, probably sixteen years old,
seventeen years old and it was an old car that you could take the
back seat out, and there was a hole to get into the trunk,
so we didn't want to be caught getting out of the trunk, so we
had thy friends get in the trunk. There was four of us, two
kids in the trunk, two driving, and once we got inside, we
removed the seat so they could crawl out. And we were so proud of
ourselves that we pulled it off and saved probably six dollars total. Yeah,
you know it's worth it. And then all the hot dogs are just a
dollar. H I love that place. Dollar hot dogs. Can imagine that
at a movie? Now? Have you have you been to a drive in
theater? Von No? I've always wanted to go. Yeah, they don't
really exist much anymore with such a bummer. No, they were super cool.
And they had like a play groroud up at the front by the by
the screen, and the kids would go play up there while it was getting
dark. And then when we get dark and they'd show like a triple feature.
So the first one would start. You know, they were only open
in the summer, so the first one would start when it was almost dark,
so like maybe eight o'clock that means the second one would start at ten
o'clock, the third feature would start at midnight. No kid in the history
of drive in theaters has ever been awake through the entire triple features. Never.
Never. I think I couldn't even sit through a double feature. One
time I fell asleep and then in the durn like the first movie, I
think, and then was up for the second. No, that's your job.
When you were a kid, I remember I went with my mom and
dad or my friend's mom and dad, and they'd stay and watch three fucking
movies and I'd be like, I'm sound asleep after the first one. So
you would think that, like people are really into nostalgia stuff right now in
general, so you would think that drive ins would come back, That's what
I'm saying, Yeah, because like there are some theaters, I mean just
within like the Twin Cities that do play older films as like a nod to
nostalgia, and those those places sell out like the they play it's a Wonderful
Life, I think at the Riverview during Christmas time, okay, sure,
and that place is packed for people to go see It's a wonderful life in
a historic theater in an historic theater. Yeah, it's a different experience than
sitting on your couch and watching it for free on whatever platform. Exactly.
