Fallon and I are going to do something a little bit different today on the
Minnesota Goodbye to kick things off two three four. I can buy myself flowers,
write my name in the sand, take it, talk to myself for
hours, say things he don't understand. Okay, stop it. I don't
think that's no no dancing. I think that that was probably a bad idea.
So let's great. We were going to do one yesterday, um and
it turned funny. Actually it was. We told Jenny to do a hoe
down to us, and Jenny got so aggressive, slapping her leg and she
was so offbeat, and I was like, Jenny, your leg is gonna
be so much. She's like, I know, I got real and really
beat on her leg. What what was the song we were seeing? When
she comes up? We said, Jenny, do a hoe down and so
Jenny, who plays along off the air that. I was thinking we should
video this, but let's practice it first. And then Jenny got up and
did the most offbeat, overly aggressive down. Ever She's like, well,
I don't know how to hold down. Sorry, I'm not Hillbill. He's
like, yes you are, Yes you are. Let's get started. This
email is from Christie. Please don't say my name. No. I've read
through it and there's nothing about it that makes it look like that. Good
morning to my most favorite morning show that I've been listening to since I was
a little girl ride in the school bus. Just wanted to tell you that
you're all my little piece of home away from home. I'm a truck driver
and when I was over the road traveling across the country missing my family,
I had always turn you on, and you filled that loneliness of being homesick.
I'm so happy I could listen anywhere I was, and that is one
of the great things about iHeartRadio. Can I just stop there for a second
and say that for years, radio station people like myself have wanted to listen
to other morning shows for inspiration. And I used to listen to a big
one in Chicago Jonathan Brandmeyer, and a big one in New York called The
z Morning Zoo with Scott Shannon, and back when I was first starting out
in radio, or Rick D's was another one in LA. You would order
cassettes of their show for it. Oh absolutely yeah. You would go in
a trade newspaper, which don't exist anymore, and it would say there was
a company called like air Check Magazine or California air Checks, and air check
is a recording of a radio show. That's the industry word for it.
Okay, So I would order Scott Shannon, Jonathan Brandmeyer, and Rick D's
and other people's air checks to see what they were doing. And you know,
sometimes you could call it inspiration, which is mostly what it was.
Or some people would just flat out steel, which I would do that sometimes
too. And that's what you would do. And if a friend of yours
was going to Chicago for the like the week, you would say, hey,
can you take along your tape recorder and record B ninety six in Chicago
so I can hear their morning show or whatever. But now with iHeartRadio,
you can listen to any virtually any more earning show, obviously if they're a
member of our companies company, but a lot of companies that are not in
iHeart they're also on iHeartRadio. Like I think there's some radio stations here in
town that, yeah, I'm not going to say this, yeah, but
I didn't think that they were, but there are some that pay to get
on the iHeartRadio app because it's a bigger rap. There's also the radio dot
com app. I think, which is you've never heard of it? Probably
no, I thought, I thought. I read that places like Spotify and
stuff are working to get that too, But it's like we did it first.
Yeah, no, that was definitely an innovative thing our company did,
so now cool. I'm glad it isn't over the road trucker or whatever you
do. You can listen to so many people move away from Minnesota and now
they live in Austin, or they live in Boise and they listen to us,
and I appreciate that. I listened to a lot of podcasts that you've
recommended, but nothing will ever top KATIO. But you'd be over the years,
KATIO, But you be is more than just a station. You're my
family. I'm a semi local driver now, but you're still playing through my
speakers. Question for Dave. I've always been fascinated with aviation and actually wanted
to be a pilot growing up, but something about it always scared me to
go forth. My dad had his pilot's license, but refused to take us
kids up in the plane and fear something would happen. But I've always wanted
to experience a small plane. I've flown commercials so many times and sat in
the cockpit talked to the pilots, and each time I think to myself,
why did I never do it? So if you ever go fly again and
have a spare seat, I'd be overjoyed, like a kid in a candy
store joy. And if you ever want to ride in an eighteen wheeler,
I'd gladly bring you along to experience it. That goes for anyone in the
studio. I love giving ride a lungs. Can I tell you she has
the exact kind of truck. It is a woman. She's a truck driver.
She has the exact kind of truck that I've always wanted to ride in.
And she's got a pink steering wheel, which I just know that she
sent a picture. I would love this. When I was in junior high,
I wanted to be a truck driver, Okay, I wanted to Kenworth
or a Peter built truck with a sleeper. And that's exactly what she has.
That's basically your own camper in the back. And some of them have
like probably a little fridge and probably the internet or whatever. I don't think
they have a bathroom, but I think that you know that's what. That's
what a jug is for. I don't know that does what truck driver.
Yeah, I think I'm gonna take you up on this one because I would
love to get a ride in your truck. I've always wanted to ride in
a big truck like that. That would be badass. And we can probably
set up a ride in the plane too, so I will email you back
side note if any of you like a good read, Run Rose Run,
written by do you know who? Dolly Parton and James Patterson. Oh that's
a newer one. I didn't read it. It's it came out in the
past two years and I haven't read it. It's about a music artist trying
to make it big strange food combo. You should try dill or Russian dill,
pickles and peanut butter. Yes, sounds gross but fantastic. And no,
I'm not pregnant, but I did get the idea from a pregnant friend
laf emoji. Sorry about all the randomness I was writing this. I was
listening to pieces of four different shows throughout my day but thought they were all
valid to share. Thank you for all the years of laughter. Love you
all, Christy and my trusty sidekick Sydney, and that is it looks like
what kind of dog is that? It looks like a miniature border? What
an awesome shepherd? Oh? Okay good? And why the hell do I
just like? Is that my new skill? I don't know how that I
have. I can just name a breed of dog and her instagram is Alice
in trucker Land if you want to find her on Instagram, Alice in trucker
Land. So I'm gonna save that email, actually gonna forward it to my
own personal email account so I can do that. A lot of people last
for rides and airplanes, and I really don't do it very often because I
love to do it, but it's so hard to set up schedules. Then
there's the rain and the weather. So I'll be like, Okay, can
you do any day next week in the afternoon? Well, afternoons don't work
for me, but I could probably do Wednesday at seven, and I'm like,
oh, Wednesday at seven, I get a boy Scout meeting. So
there's also the awkward You have to ask them how much they weigh, which
is an uncomfortable question, which is which is very because I'm I've taken people
flying before, and there's a weight limit in the airplane, and it's a
pretty generous weight limit. It's it's over two hundred pounds, but for some
people they weigh well over two hundred pounds. And I always have to tell
people, I say, don't guess, I need you to get on the
scale today and tell me what your weight is, because people will say I
think I weigh about two fifty. Then they'll I say, well that's please
get on the scale. They'll be like, oh man, oh I'm weighing
myself in a long time. I'm two ninety four, and I'm like yeah,
so anyway, So normally I say no, but I will try to
set this up. So hold on forward. Well, you get a trade
out of it. And that's the thing is I get to ride in a
truck, which I've always wanted to ride in a truck. You just want
to blow the horn, I know your plan. That would be cool.
M Yesterday on the Minnesota Goodbye, Dave was talking about someone he knows who
found out that her husband was cheating on her with other men. So basically,
it's my friend was taken a walk with her friend. It's her friend,
not my friend. Just so you won't be trying to figure out which
of my friends that is. I've been through a similar situation before I met
my husband. I was tending bar in my hometown and I met a regular
should have been a red flag from the start being a bar regular, and
started dating him. We moved fast. Within five months, I along with
my cat, moved in with him. I started to get suspicious about him
cheating when his phone would buzz all hours of the night. To be fair,
he was a transportation director, so he was the emergency call for truckers.
Can't believe truckers came up again in another email for truckers all over the
US. Anyway, one night, he was blacked out again not unusual for
him, and his phone kept buzzing under his pillow. Now I've never been
one to snoop, but I was like I had a gravitational pull to lurk
through his phone. Needless to say, my heart dropped my stomach at what
I pictured picture upon picture of him giving and receiving with another man. I
was horrified. I didn't know what to do. I called my best friend
into sterics to help me quickly and safely pack me and my cat. He
awoke, and I was terrified he'd hurt my cat with the news that I
had just found. Luckily, my BFF showed and I was able to safely
leave and never talk to him again. Oh and I called my doctor the
next day for a complete STI panel. FYI, you have to specify complete
or it doesn't check for herpes. By the way, I was clean.
Thanked the Lord love you all, Kaylee. I find that interesting because I
think there are a lot of probably more closeted and married by sexual men.
Remember the story. It was a senator in the Minneapolis airport and he was
caught by a cop trying to have sex in a bathroom stall at the airport
tap or like the under the stall thing in the bathroom or it was.
And he came up with the most unbelievable story. He said, he yeah,
he stuck his foot, That's what it was. He stuck his foot
under the other stall and tapped it, which I guess is a signal.
Yeah. And then I don't know what to do next. I guess you'd
get up and you go into the other stall. And then guys would say
they would stand in a shopping bag while the other guy would sit on the
toilet and give them the thing. And he said, while my stance was
really wide. While I'm going to the bathroom, my stance is really wide,
and I've sat in a stall before, and I thought, there's no
way you've got a foot over there wide enough that it goes under the other
stall. I was going to say, Well, the reason that I bring
it up is because this guy denied something that seems pretty obvious that he was
into other men, but he was married. Yeah, And I feel,
in a way, I feel some sympathy for guys like that, because they
have that urge that it's an itch they need to scratch, and there's nothing
wrong with it, it's just that their partner doesn't know. And I've known
women that have cheated on their husband with other women. I knew one years
ago she was married, she's not anymore, and her and her girlfriend used
to hook up, and then they would go on trips meet men and hook
up like in a big naked pile with like two other men. And these
two women and their husbands had no idea. And so I don't fault any
of the people who do this, and I kind of feel sorry for the
people who feel closeted like this. I think the thing is, for whatever
reason, your partner should know about it while you were out. We had
a girl who was married to a guy, which we found out kind of
the end of the call, but she went and visited her friend and something
changed. That night she was visiting her friend and they made out on her
friend's couch. Kind of didn't talk about it, but she was like,
it was not like a drunk girl, it was like genuine feelings. And
then she didn't know what to do with that because she's like, I don't
think I want to leave my husband, but now everything's changed. Now it
technically is cheating on my husband. And I mean, we never got to
follow up from her. But I also did a pod. Every time we
bring up something like this, I swear I have a heartbroken podcast about it.
And I remember a woman she said that she was like driving back from
the cabin and she starts going through her husband's phone and found that kind of
stuff. And that's the thing. I think. It is a shock if
you don't know your partner is into like the same sex, because you didn't
know that about them, and you feel like you can't get mad at I'm
necessarily for having those desires, but you feel like you don't know a part
of them that they've kept a secret from you. Then to go further cheating
is cheating. So it's like all these different layers. Oh absolutely, and
I think that there. I don't want to make a blanket statement, but
it might be almost fair to say nearly everyone, but certainly not everyone,
but nearly everyone, or a big percentage of all men and women have curiosity
or desires. So in other words, I was talking to somebody, a
friend of mine who she loves ted Lasso, but Rebecca on ted Lasso to
her is hot, okay, And Rebecca on ted Lasso is like, got
the very sculpted Nordic features and she's gorgeous. And she says, oh yeah,
I'd suck her. Yeah, And I'm like, you're serious. She's
like, oh she's hot, Yeah, I'd fuck her. And I'm like
wow. And she's straight as can be. But she said that with her
shit she got I don't say switched teams because that sounds so nineties cliche.
H. And that is kind of it for the Minnesota Goodbye. There's um
a couple of other little things here, but this one was more like,
it's not really meant for the Minnesota Goodbye. They're talking about least favorite musical
moments, and least favorite musical moments is the part of the song where you
don't like it and you know my cliche one is U the eminem song where
he's like, that's why they call it window pane. Yeah, and I
think that's just kind of stupid. But but thanks for the Minnesota could buy
emails. We didn't get a whole lot today, so today's is going to
be maybe a little bit shorter. Um, unless there's something else off the
top of your head that you want to throw in. Alan have nothing to
offer, no surprise. Okay, well we're actually guess how long we went
today. Go ahead and guess fifteen minutes exactly, so we're good. That's
what we shoot for, all right. Thanks for the conversation topics, and
send any emails to Ryan Show at KDWB dot com.
