WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.360 --> 00:00:04.120 All right, here we go with the Minnesota Goodbye. You know, my 2 00:00:04.200 --> 00:00:08.599 throat's a little bit sore. And I think because when I was doing environmental 3 00:00:08.640 --> 00:00:11.560 trivia last night, I don't I think I use a different pitch in my 4 00:00:11.640 --> 00:00:15.679 voice or something. Yeah, when I do something like that, because it 5 00:00:15.960 --> 00:00:20.920 made my throat sore, you don't get very like screamy like yeah, because 6 00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:23.480 I feel like that's when my voice starts to hurt, or when I've been 7 00:00:23.519 --> 00:00:27.440 singing too much on a road trip, you know, Oh god, I 8 00:00:28.440 --> 00:00:31.399 yeah, I just I don't know. So it's a little bit tired. 9 00:00:31.480 --> 00:00:35.439 But that's neither here nor there. So we'll start off with an email from 10 00:00:35.520 --> 00:00:39.479 Jacqueline. Jaqueline's been on The Minnesota Goodbye a couple of times about being alone 11 00:00:39.479 --> 00:00:43.640 on Thanksgiving, and we had a big segment on the show today about Jacqueline 12 00:00:43.679 --> 00:00:47.640 and people suggesting things, and so Jacqueline wrote in I want to thank you 13 00:00:47.719 --> 00:00:50.200 for having me on the show today. I really appreciate all the text and 14 00:00:50.240 --> 00:00:53.799 calls from other listeners, and I'm definitely going to consider some of the suggestions. 15 00:00:53.880 --> 00:00:56.439 Like I said on the show, I do consider all of you my 16 00:00:56.479 --> 00:00:59.039 friends, and your show has gotten me through some really hard times over the 17 00:00:59.159 --> 00:01:00.920 years. Dave, I know this, you get this a lot, but 18 00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:04.319 you've been somewhat of a father figure to me since I lost my dad, 19 00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:10.799 Oh my gosh, and I really value your opinions and advice that just hits 20 00:01:10.840 --> 00:01:14.239 me in a different way. You're all such wonderful people, and I hope 21 00:01:14.239 --> 00:01:18.760 that you all have fun fill than relaxing holidays. Jacqueline, will you let 22 00:01:18.840 --> 00:01:21.959 us know what you did, even if you, like you know, decided 23 00:01:21.959 --> 00:01:25.159 that you're going to stay home and wait for the sun to go down, 24 00:01:25.239 --> 00:01:26.640 will you let us know what you did, because I'd like to stay in 25 00:01:26.680 --> 00:01:32.040 touch with you because I really think that, you know, it's an interesting 26 00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:36.000 journey of you know, what you've been through in the last ten years or 27 00:01:36.439 --> 00:01:41.079 fifteen years or so, and I'd like to find out what you're doing and 28 00:01:41.120 --> 00:01:44.480 how you're doing, and whether you find somebody or something to share your time 29 00:01:44.519 --> 00:01:47.799 with. Yeah. So I think everybody's got something that they can offer to 30 00:01:47.840 --> 00:01:49.879 somebody else that would make the other person's life better. And I know, 31 00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:57.879 Jacqueline, you've got something that you can offer, whether it's kindness or attention, 32 00:01:59.239 --> 00:02:02.680 activities, romance, whatever it is. I know Jacqueline, everybody's got 33 00:02:02.719 --> 00:02:07.039 something that they can offer to somebody that would make that person's life better, 34 00:02:07.800 --> 00:02:12.000 even if it's just holding the door open for somebody. But there's you know, 35 00:02:12.039 --> 00:02:15.080 there's got to be something. So Jacqueline, please let us know how 36 00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:20.000 you're doing. Nicole writes in and says Jacqueline should go on a solo cruise 37 00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:23.080 for the holidays. I'm in the same boat as her and have gone on 38 00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:29.479 three Virgin Voyages cruises, and I make so many friends and never feel alone. 39 00:02:29.759 --> 00:02:34.960 That's really interesting. I think the thing about this is I don't personally, 40 00:02:35.080 --> 00:02:38.120 I don't think that would be for everybody. Yeah, I think you 41 00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:42.960 have to be the kind of person that enjoys meeting new people and making friends 42 00:02:43.319 --> 00:02:46.159 in an environment that already isn't even like necessarily super comfortable. Because you're on 43 00:02:46.199 --> 00:02:51.280 a cruise, you know, like you're trying to just like feel it out. 44 00:02:51.400 --> 00:02:55.000 See who's willing to engage in conversation with you. A friend of mine, 45 00:02:57.360 --> 00:03:00.520 she actually tried out her falon's job on the show and now friends. 46 00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:04.919 She moved away from here because she got divorced and you know whatever, and 47 00:03:04.960 --> 00:03:06.759 broke up with her boy. What I don't remember what it was. And 48 00:03:06.800 --> 00:03:09.199 she moved away to Colorado, where she knew nobody except her mom. But 49 00:03:09.280 --> 00:03:13.560 she went out to all these women's clubs and social groups and she made a 50 00:03:13.599 --> 00:03:15.719 ton of friends. And I said, wow, I could never do that, 51 00:03:15.919 --> 00:03:19.639 and she said no, it's just I'm a very social creature. And 52 00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:23.159 I'm like, yeah, it's not the way that most people are. A 53 00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:28.000 lot of people work. Thank you, Nicole, This is kind of funny, 54 00:03:28.680 --> 00:03:30.879 Dave. Jenny Drake had to ride in. My husband and I are 55 00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:35.520 boarding a plane from Venice to London, and I find this perfect moment to 56 00:03:35.639 --> 00:03:39.919 remind us of you. We cannot get away from Chumpa Casino, even in 57 00:03:40.199 --> 00:03:45.000 Italy. We've been on our honeymoon for over two weeks. Celebrations still going 58 00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:47.680 on in London, lots of podcasts to catch up on. And there is 59 00:03:47.680 --> 00:03:53.840 a guy wearing a Chumba Casino shirt and she took a picture of it. 60 00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:59.360 And they are in Italy and I don't know where Chumba Casino is based, 61 00:03:59.560 --> 00:04:04.840 but very interesting, Amber, I'm taking a picture of your Okay, there's 62 00:04:04.879 --> 00:04:06.840 your last name. I need your last name too. There we go, 63 00:04:06.960 --> 00:04:11.520 Okay, so I will send you a Minnesota Goodbye staff writer sticker. That 64 00:04:11.639 --> 00:04:14.719 is funny. I think they still chump a Casino. Is that still the 65 00:04:14.800 --> 00:04:17.040 sponsor? I mean, we haven't gotten as many emails on it, but 66 00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:19.959 I don't know. I couldn't tell you because I'm be honest, I don't 67 00:04:19.959 --> 00:04:24.319 go back and listen to our podcast after we well, I'm not sure what 68 00:04:24.360 --> 00:04:28.360 ad gets placed in there. I get it. Next one, Emily says, 69 00:04:28.399 --> 00:04:30.800 first of all, I like Naughty Tuesdays. It's always fun to add 70 00:04:30.800 --> 00:04:34.959 a little risk a content into the show. Maybe it's to be called Trashy 71 00:04:35.000 --> 00:04:44.040 Tuesdays, could be about anything moderately, highly inappropriate, whatever. And so 72 00:04:44.199 --> 00:04:47.399 you know what we Naughty Tuesdays is getting a little bit more positive feedback and 73 00:04:47.480 --> 00:04:51.279 responses. So we'll bring it back for at least another week. Second response 74 00:04:51.319 --> 00:04:55.879 to lady looking for something to do on Thanksgiving, deliver meals on wheels, 75 00:04:55.959 --> 00:04:59.199 volunteer the local nursing home, Spend time with the elderly who don't have any 76 00:04:59.199 --> 00:05:05.120 family, Volunteer at a homeless shelter or soup kitchen, cook a Thanksgiving meal 77 00:05:05.160 --> 00:05:09.560 for a family who cannot afford or have access to cook their own. So 78 00:05:09.600 --> 00:05:12.720 many options and she will feel good about herself too. You know what, 79 00:05:12.759 --> 00:05:17.199 that's a really good point, Emily. Volunteering and doing something for others is 80 00:05:17.720 --> 00:05:23.480 wonderful, but I'm glad we also got into what can she do for her 81 00:05:24.519 --> 00:05:31.000 like the cruise or right. So, I think it's great to think of 82 00:05:31.040 --> 00:05:35.319 like volunteering, but that had never occurred to me to do something that was 83 00:05:35.519 --> 00:05:41.920 fun for her. Next one to follow up on your road rage story. 84 00:05:42.480 --> 00:05:46.240 This is from Eric or Aaron. I was on a walk the other day, 85 00:05:46.319 --> 00:05:51.079 walking through my neighborhood in the less busy parts. I will admit I 86 00:05:51.120 --> 00:05:55.560 wasn't super paying attention because there's usually not many cars in the area, but 87 00:05:55.600 --> 00:05:59.319 as I went across the street, I noticed a car slowing down for me. 88 00:06:00.399 --> 00:06:02.000 Next thing I know, they are honking at me and the driver holds 89 00:06:02.000 --> 00:06:06.319 her hands up in frustration like daha. I guess she didn't have a stop 90 00:06:06.360 --> 00:06:11.480 sign, so technically I was in the wrong, but that I really deserve 91 00:06:11.560 --> 00:06:15.279 to be honked at. I was walking in northeast where pedestrians are pretty common 92 00:06:15.000 --> 00:06:18.160 mine in my own business, and was mostly crossed at the point where she 93 00:06:18.240 --> 00:06:20.800 had to slow down for me. Later, on the same walk, I 94 00:06:20.839 --> 00:06:26.959 was attempting to cross a slightly busier street where I know there's not a designated 95 00:06:27.000 --> 00:06:30.279 cross walking. A car actually stopped and weigh me across. The difference in 96 00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:32.600 some people anyway, just super annoying to me. I can't believe how mad 97 00:06:32.600 --> 00:06:35.439 that lady was, so I had to share I would like a sticker if 98 00:06:35.439 --> 00:06:39.480 you have some, and I do, so, I will mail you one 99 00:06:39.480 --> 00:06:42.480 out. It's kind of wild to me how angry some people get at pedestrians 100 00:06:42.560 --> 00:06:46.199 or bikers. Like I know that some bikers are all over the place, 101 00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:48.040 but like some people think that bikers shouldn't even have the right to be on 102 00:06:48.079 --> 00:06:53.319 the road, And I just don't understand the mindset, like let of pedestrian 103 00:06:53.399 --> 00:06:56.959 cross, just like I understand that like if she was crossing in an area 104 00:06:57.279 --> 00:06:59.680 where the other person didn't have a stop sign, the other person was probably 105 00:06:59.720 --> 00:07:01.160 upset because they were scared they were going to run them over. So I 106 00:07:01.240 --> 00:07:05.720 understand that that like that mindset, But to go up and like honker down 107 00:07:05.800 --> 00:07:11.079 and yell at her, it's like, come on, yeah, that's It's 108 00:07:11.120 --> 00:07:15.160 funny how some people react. I tried to be so much more kind in 109 00:07:15.279 --> 00:07:18.959 letting people in or letting people have the right away or whatever, because it's 110 00:07:19.000 --> 00:07:24.439 like, you know it, it's not that hard to slow down and let 111 00:07:24.439 --> 00:07:28.439 people pull in front of you if they need to change lanes. It's not 112 00:07:28.600 --> 00:07:33.480 that hard to give somebody else the right away. It's just it's just easier 113 00:07:33.519 --> 00:07:39.040 and better on our souls, Jenny, to let it go then to get 114 00:07:39.120 --> 00:07:47.199 road rage. So uh okay, interesting it says good afternoon to my favorite 115 00:07:47.199 --> 00:07:50.800 morning show. I want to write in today for all the people inquiring about 116 00:07:50.800 --> 00:07:56.439 older episodes of The Minnesota Goodbye. I know you've discussed the changing over in 117 00:07:56.480 --> 00:08:00.920 your program that you make which makes older episodes not available on some platforms were 118 00:08:00.959 --> 00:08:05.279 streaming. However, I am a Spotify listener, and I am here to 119 00:08:05.319 --> 00:08:11.000 share that all of the recorded podcasts dating back to twenty nineteen are available to 120 00:08:11.160 --> 00:08:15.759 listen and download on Spotify. Did you know this, Jenny, I didn't 121 00:08:15.879 --> 00:08:20.720 because I only listened to iHeartRadio. But that's great news for those that you 122 00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:26.639 Spotify. Yeah, I didn't know that because I do the iHeartRadio app also. 123 00:08:26.759 --> 00:08:31.600 But now that's funny that we didn't know that. All Right, next 124 00:08:31.600 --> 00:08:33.240 one we'll see. It might not be the last one we'll see Hello, 125 00:08:33.279 --> 00:08:35.879 all, bit idea for you. I know in the past you've had Siri 126 00:08:37.000 --> 00:08:41.080 reed Dave's calendar for the day. I've always found that extensively funny, wondering 127 00:08:41.120 --> 00:08:46.039 if you did that, followed by Jenny's calendar spoofing on her schedule, waking 128 00:08:46.120 --> 00:08:48.720 up in a panic, to rocketing through the parking garage, keep the boys 129 00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:52.039 in line during the show, work out for three thousand minutes, cuddle seventeen 130 00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:56.200 dogs she is watching, et cetera. Then in the bit with Drake, 131 00:08:56.279 --> 00:08:58.600 wanted to share his schedule but plain it up that he will reward himself after 132 00:08:58.600 --> 00:09:03.320 work with it taco a hit from a bong and streaming on repeat. Obviously, 133 00:09:03.320 --> 00:09:05.879 I know it's a great exaggeration of your characters, but might be an 134 00:09:05.919 --> 00:09:11.320 idea. You know what's funny, Rebecca, is that I know the bit 135 00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:13.600 you're talking about where it's like, Siri, read me my schedule and she'll 136 00:09:13.639 --> 00:09:18.399 be like eight to nine am, argue with Jenny about whether you know who's 137 00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:22.840 you know, like, I don't know who smells better? Ten to eleven, 138 00:09:24.200 --> 00:09:28.919 you know, do something stupid, Josie right three until four yell at 139 00:09:28.960 --> 00:09:31.480 kids to get off my lawn. Well, the last couple of times I 140 00:09:31.519 --> 00:09:37.039 did it, Siri wouldn't play along. Should be a little stubborn beat. 141 00:09:37.519 --> 00:09:41.919 So I would say, Siri read me my schedule, and she would not 142 00:09:41.840 --> 00:09:46.000 do it. And I remember I had my fake schedule made up in my 143 00:09:46.039 --> 00:09:48.799 phone for days and I would try it over and over and it didn't work. 144 00:09:48.840 --> 00:09:50.759 So it would literally be like, Siri read my schedule and she'd be 145 00:09:50.799 --> 00:09:54.159 like okay, and we would sit here and wait for like thirty seconds and 146 00:09:54.200 --> 00:09:56.840 be like, damn it, Siri read the schedule and she wouldn't do it 147 00:09:56.879 --> 00:10:01.159 anything. She wouldn't do it. It was just weird. So thank you, 148 00:10:01.200 --> 00:10:07.519 Rebecca. I've got your address for a sticker. Okay, I'm not 149 00:10:07.559 --> 00:10:11.000 sure if I read this one. I've gotten sloppy about deleting. I don't 150 00:10:11.000 --> 00:10:15.120 think I have. Okay, here we go, same a name, Same 151 00:10:15.120 --> 00:10:20.919 a name. Jody Cardin of Altoona, Wisconsin writes Dave. I'm in my 152 00:10:20.960 --> 00:10:24.480 twenty six year of teaching and I listened to you since day one, so 153 00:10:24.559 --> 00:10:28.039 you need to hang in there until I retire in a few years. Then 154 00:10:28.279 --> 00:10:31.840 bouncing off your bananas on pizza comments after the pineapple debate, I actually had 155 00:10:31.879 --> 00:10:37.799 a banana, pepperoni pizza Victoria Falls in Zimbobway, and it was pretty good, 156 00:10:39.240 --> 00:10:43.360 not mind blowing, but surprisingly good. Thank you for being a constant 157 00:10:43.360 --> 00:10:46.559 and great part of my day. I unfortunately have my commute during your morning 158 00:10:46.559 --> 00:10:52.720 commercials time, but thankful for the podcast, your freelance contributor Jody and Jody 159 00:10:52.720 --> 00:10:54.759 I will send you a sticker taking a picture of morning commercial time. So 160 00:10:54.799 --> 00:11:00.320 I wonder if her commutees like seven eight minutes and that's all she is to 161 00:11:00.360 --> 00:11:03.440 hear is our commercials but entire time. Yeah, I mean that's and that's 162 00:11:03.440 --> 00:11:07.799 the hard part. Yeah, all right, here we go. I'm not 163 00:11:07.840 --> 00:11:09.480 sure if I read this one, because again I've done a sloppy job of 164 00:11:09.480 --> 00:11:13.080 deleting, but I don't think I have. Hey, hey, hey, 165 00:11:13.279 --> 00:11:18.000 you bunch of Dart liquors, here's a talker for you from Maryanne. If 166 00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:20.679 you could time travel, where would you place yourself day? Would you be 167 00:11:20.720 --> 00:11:22.600 a furious Viking? Would you be a carnival barker? Would you be a 168 00:11:22.639 --> 00:11:26.279 snake oil salesman traveling around in a covered wagon? Nah, I'd probably want 169 00:11:26.279 --> 00:11:30.120 a journey on the Oregon Trail. I'd want to live in the eighteen fifties, 170 00:11:30.120 --> 00:11:33.759 and I would want to take a journey from Saint Louis to the Willamette 171 00:11:33.799 --> 00:11:37.240 Valley on the Oregon Trail. Jenny, what about you? Can we go 172 00:11:37.559 --> 00:11:41.200 forward in time? Uh? I guess sure. I think I'd rather go 173 00:11:41.279 --> 00:11:43.440 forward in time, to be honest. I mean, we live in a 174 00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:46.600 pretty good age of technology and stuff like that that I think I'd rather see 175 00:11:46.600 --> 00:11:50.639 what happens in I let's say one hundred years. I was gonna only say 176 00:11:50.679 --> 00:11:52.759 like twenty, but I'd love to see like one hundred years because think of 177 00:11:52.759 --> 00:11:56.399 how different it is from nineteen twenty three to twenty twenty three right now. 178 00:11:56.440 --> 00:12:01.399 So give me one hundred years in the future. Can you imagine? We 179 00:12:01.519 --> 00:12:05.600 cannot even imagine the inventions that they will come up with and the societal differences 180 00:12:05.639 --> 00:12:11.679 that they will come up with between now and then. Because at one point, 181 00:12:11.720 --> 00:12:16.240 did you know that they were thinking about closing the patent office because the 182 00:12:16.320 --> 00:12:20.039 person in charge said, everything that's ever going to be invented already has been 183 00:12:20.080 --> 00:12:24.600 invented. And that was about seventy five or eighty years ago, So they 184 00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:31.159 said everything. That's because they couldn't imagine the computer, the iPhone, the 185 00:12:31.320 --> 00:12:37.879 cup holder, armrest, contact lenses, a blow dryer. They couldn't imagine. 186 00:12:39.320 --> 00:12:43.679 So that's the thing we can't even imagine accurately. Anyway, what will 187 00:12:43.720 --> 00:12:48.159 be different or invented in one hundred years? Can't even imagine? No, 188 00:12:48.320 --> 00:12:50.120 yeah, me, you can call me miss Kitty. I'd be in the 189 00:12:50.159 --> 00:12:54.600 wild wild West. I'd own a saloon and have rooms to let. Also, 190 00:12:54.720 --> 00:12:56.240 don't f with me. I got a shotgun in a pretty dress. 191 00:12:58.120 --> 00:13:03.279 I love you guys so much. So XO Mary Anne. And that is 192 00:13:03.320 --> 00:13:05.519 Mary And well, she doesn't give her a dress, so I'm not going 193 00:13:05.559 --> 00:13:09.399 to mail her a sticker. So Marianne, you better send your address right. 194 00:13:09.559 --> 00:13:13.679 And I think that is about it. How are we doing for time, 195 00:13:13.720 --> 00:13:16.200 Jenny? Yeah, we got two minutes left. Oh well, let's 196 00:13:16.200 --> 00:13:18.279 see if we can get one more here. That's a really long one. 197 00:13:18.399 --> 00:13:22.799 So and that one is a one for naughty Tuesday. So I'm going to 198 00:13:22.879 --> 00:13:26.919 naughty Tuesday. That one and okay, we got a couple of minutes. 199 00:13:26.919 --> 00:13:31.080 Here's a road rage story. They say, Hey, fatty Jenny and Drake, 200 00:13:31.120 --> 00:13:35.320 it's my smart ass friend Kelly. We make fun of each other. 201 00:13:35.759 --> 00:13:39.200 No, we make fun of each other when neither of us are really fat, 202 00:13:39.240 --> 00:13:43.879 but we call each other fat. My husband and I were driving home 203 00:13:43.919 --> 00:13:46.879 with the kids on a Sunday afternoon. We noticed a car slamming on its 204 00:13:46.879 --> 00:13:50.799 brakes in front of another car. I told my husband get past them because 205 00:13:50.799 --> 00:13:52.960 we don't want to get hit. We sped past the car decided we were 206 00:13:52.960 --> 00:13:56.000 its next target. The car would speed ahead of us and slam on the 207 00:13:56.000 --> 00:14:00.200 brakes. Then we get away from them and they do it again. The 208 00:14:00.240 --> 00:14:01.960 passenger was hanging out the window and tried to make us think he had a 209 00:14:03.000 --> 00:14:05.879 gun. He did not. Then they threw trash at us. Then they 210 00:14:05.919 --> 00:14:09.919 tried to block us in a turn lane. He got out of the car 211 00:14:09.960 --> 00:14:11.960 and started banging on the driver's window, trying to get my husband to fight. 212 00:14:13.639 --> 00:14:18.120 My husband hoped hopped the curb to get away, and eventually they stopped 213 00:14:18.120 --> 00:14:20.399 following us. It was traumatizing for our son, who is five, and 214 00:14:20.480 --> 00:14:24.360 even had me shook up. And she's a cop. The cops knew who 215 00:14:24.360 --> 00:14:28.279 it was and went and dealt with him. We told our son the likelihood 216 00:14:28.279 --> 00:14:31.679 of that happening to you again and his life is pretty slim, but it 217 00:14:31.799 --> 00:14:35.679 was pretty scary for all of us. I think that person is either just 218 00:14:35.759 --> 00:14:39.399 a violent, aggressive, awful piece of crap or they got some serious mental 219 00:14:39.440 --> 00:14:45.120 illness problems. Yeah. So all right, that is it for the Minnesota 220 00:14:45.159 --> 00:14:50.559 Get bye. Send your emails to Ryan Show at kadiwb dot com.
