00:00:00.400 --> 00:00:04.679
Oh my god, look who our
guest host is today on the Minnesota Goodbye.

2
00:00:05.519 --> 00:00:07.919
Who are you? Tell us all
about yourself? Oh? My name's

3
00:00:07.960 --> 00:00:10.880
Bailey. You know. I'm just
here for a good time, not a

4
00:00:10.880 --> 00:00:15.800
long time. Thanks for having me
on. Do people ever tell you you

5
00:00:15.800 --> 00:00:19.359
have a Minnesota accent? I used
to when I lived in Florida briefly.

6
00:00:19.640 --> 00:00:22.519
I would say, like people you
know all the time ask you where you're

7
00:00:22.519 --> 00:00:26.079
from, because it's a very international
area working for Disney, and I'd say,

8
00:00:26.079 --> 00:00:28.519
oh, I'm from Minnesota. And
I always said, oh, I'm

9
00:00:28.519 --> 00:00:31.120
from Minnesota, which is so stupid. I didn't realize I did that,

10
00:00:31.160 --> 00:00:35.320
but oh, I'm from Minnesota.
They'd go, oh, Minnesota and make

11
00:00:35.359 --> 00:00:37.640
fun of me for it, and
so then I would just lay it on

12
00:00:37.920 --> 00:00:40.840
real thick. I'd be like,
oh, yeah, I'm from andover Minnesota.

13
00:00:41.000 --> 00:00:43.359
They'd be like, I can't believe
that's what you sound like, not

14
00:00:43.399 --> 00:00:47.399
what I sound like, you idiot. Some people have a stronger Minnesota accent.

15
00:00:47.439 --> 00:00:50.640
I have many, many friends here
who lived here all their lives or

16
00:00:50.679 --> 00:00:54.320
most of their lives, and like
Nurse Wendy has like oh yeah, oh

17
00:00:54.399 --> 00:00:57.240
no, oh no, and I'm
like, oh and I'll make fun or

18
00:00:57.280 --> 00:01:00.560
I'll be like, oh, no, are you gonna go home? And

19
00:01:00.679 --> 00:01:04.359
she will, you know, like
basically say fuck off whatever. She's funny.

20
00:01:04.879 --> 00:01:08.719
Allison's got a little one. She's
been here since she was one and

21
00:01:08.760 --> 00:01:12.879
a half, so Allison's got a
little bit of one. And so she

22
00:01:14.120 --> 00:01:17.319
was in like DC for work and
they're like, oh, where are you

23
00:01:17.480 --> 00:01:19.319
from? And she's like what And
they're like, well, you got a

24
00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:23.040
Minnesota accent and she's like, no, I don't. I don't think I

25
00:01:23.079 --> 00:01:26.879
have one. But I do say
oap once in a while, which I

26
00:01:26.959 --> 00:01:32.159
never deliberately learned the phrase or expression
oak. But when you sneak by somebody

27
00:01:32.200 --> 00:01:34.239
and you go, oh sorry you
drop oh a squeeze past you here,

28
00:01:34.280 --> 00:01:38.159
I don't say oops. I say
op. And I never intentionally did,

29
00:01:38.200 --> 00:01:42.359
but I found myself saying, oh, oh, well, dang, I

30
00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:47.239
mean you gotta have something op op. Oh no no. But I've known

31
00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:51.480
people Chris who used to be our
promotions director. She had the big,

32
00:01:51.560 --> 00:01:56.239
strong Minnesota accent. Hear them on
the on the commercials a lot, the

33
00:01:56.319 --> 00:01:59.400
Minnesota accents, especially the local ones. They're like, come to White Bear

34
00:01:59.480 --> 00:02:02.239
Lake, Mitch, all right,
I have not pre read these, so

35
00:02:02.319 --> 00:02:06.599
let's see how these go. Don't
share my name. Listen to your show

36
00:02:06.599 --> 00:02:10.319
on Wednesday. You were talking about
Susan getting hand surgery. Hope she's recovering

37
00:02:10.360 --> 00:02:14.080
well. She is, thank you. I wanted to share my husband's story

38
00:02:14.120 --> 00:02:17.759
about his ex wife who was addicted
to prescription meds that weren't painkillers. His

39
00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:22.199
wife was addicted. His ex wife
was addicted to adderall. She would go

40
00:02:22.240 --> 00:02:24.439
as far as taking their kids to
the doctor and requesting him to put their

41
00:02:24.560 --> 00:02:28.680
kids, three total, on the
meds, and then taking them herself.

42
00:02:29.240 --> 00:02:31.159
My husband found out and told her
to get help while he took care of

43
00:02:31.159 --> 00:02:34.960
the kids, but she ended up
taking the kids away without his knowledge.

44
00:02:35.240 --> 00:02:38.280
She was not a stable person,
so he filed for divorce soon after,

45
00:02:38.719 --> 00:02:43.719
and he ended up with dominary custody
of their two kids, but not the

46
00:02:43.800 --> 00:02:46.960
other one since he was not their
biological dad. It's a sad situation because

47
00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:52.520
when they're divorced, their kids never
saw them regularly. And she died back

48
00:02:52.520 --> 00:02:54.439
in twenty twenty two at the age
of forty six, and we're thinking because

49
00:02:54.479 --> 00:02:59.479
her demon's finally caught up to her, which I don't know, but I'm

50
00:02:59.520 --> 00:03:04.400
going to guess that sounds like suicide. Honestly, when somebody says they're demons,

51
00:03:04.919 --> 00:03:07.599
I'm going to guess that sounds like
she took her own life. Also,

52
00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:08.800
can I get a staff writer stick
or please? And thank you?

53
00:03:09.080 --> 00:03:12.520
Yes? And I will only say
this person lives out of state, in

54
00:03:13.159 --> 00:03:17.240
a far distant state. And I
always love when people find our podcast and

55
00:03:17.360 --> 00:03:22.199
listen to it above their local radio
show. I really find that so flattering.

56
00:03:22.520 --> 00:03:24.439
And thanks for the story. You
know. This happened to come up

57
00:03:24.479 --> 00:03:29.000
because Susan had hand surgery, and
I even talked to the doctor yesterday and

58
00:03:29.319 --> 00:03:34.159
I said, hey, can she's
in a lot of pain with her prescription

59
00:03:34.280 --> 00:03:37.879
medication? Can she take something over
the counter on top of it? And

60
00:03:37.879 --> 00:03:39.479
so we talked about it and he
said, yes, I know that you've

61
00:03:39.520 --> 00:03:45.800
expressed to me you're very very careful
about any kind of oxy kind of drugs.

62
00:03:46.039 --> 00:03:46.840
He said, if her paying gets
to be too much, we can

63
00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:51.719
go to oxy and there's another one. And I said, now I think

64
00:03:51.759 --> 00:03:54.360
she's doing okay. Sure, yesterday
was hand surgery, as it turns out,

65
00:03:54.439 --> 00:03:59.520
is a very painful recovery. I
can imagine they're like teeny tiny little

66
00:03:59.520 --> 00:04:02.439
bones in your hand, and they
basically they break your bones and maneuver your

67
00:04:02.439 --> 00:04:08.680
bones and win that nerve block wears
off. I mean, imagine slamming your

68
00:04:08.719 --> 00:04:12.879
hand in the trunk of your car
and recovering from that. And that's what

69
00:04:12.919 --> 00:04:15.240
she's got to recover from. So
course, Susan, she's doing fine,

70
00:04:15.279 --> 00:04:20.399
by the way, So thank you
for that. Let's go to another one.

71
00:04:20.600 --> 00:04:26.560
This one says Minnesota, Goodbye,
Jenny in the morning Zoo featuring Dave

72
00:04:26.680 --> 00:04:30.360
Ryan. Just clarify, this man
wasn't at all trying to stay in at

73
00:04:30.360 --> 00:04:33.399
o'spas. He In fact, he
was intentionally sitting with his elbow over the

74
00:04:33.480 --> 00:04:38.800
armrest at least two inches. Oh, we were talking about airplane etiquette and

75
00:04:38.879 --> 00:04:42.480
this came up the other day,
and there was a larger guy in the

76
00:04:42.519 --> 00:04:46.199
middle seat. And this person was
writing from the airplane if I remember right,

77
00:04:46.519 --> 00:04:48.879
Yes, she was. She was
on the airplane right now. She

78
00:04:48.920 --> 00:04:51.600
says, I'm in a window seat
that I picked a sit in. A

79
00:04:51.639 --> 00:04:55.879
man in the middle seat larger than
average. He is sitting with his broad

80
00:04:55.879 --> 00:05:00.439
shoulder spreading way into my seat and
into the aisle seat. And so she

81
00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:05.560
was talking about whether people that are
heavier should pay more for a bigger seat.

82
00:05:06.079 --> 00:05:09.399
And she said, if you go
to Valley Fair and you want to

83
00:05:09.439 --> 00:05:12.399
go on steal Venom and you're four
hundred pounds, I'm sorry you just they

84
00:05:12.439 --> 00:05:15.519
don't have a heavy section. There
are just certain things that you just should

85
00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:20.120
not get to do, and it's
not anybody's fault, so she writes back

86
00:05:20.120 --> 00:05:25.040
to clarify, I put my arm
right next to his and pressed right back

87
00:05:25.079 --> 00:05:28.160
into him, since he was using
some force to keep his arm where it

88
00:05:28.279 --> 00:05:30.560
was. An hour and a half
or so into the flight, I pressed

89
00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:33.959
really hard into his elbow with my
forearm. After he elbowed me in the

90
00:05:33.959 --> 00:05:38.959
side multiple times and wiggled back and
forth in my seat. He glared at

91
00:05:39.000 --> 00:05:42.399
me and said, what do you
want me to do? Not in a

92
00:05:42.439 --> 00:05:44.319
polite way at all, and I
said, I'm just trying to sit up

93
00:05:44.360 --> 00:05:46.120
right on my own seat that I
paid for. He replied with well,

94
00:05:46.199 --> 00:05:49.959
I either sit like this or this. The options he gave were his elbows

95
00:05:49.959 --> 00:05:56.120
basically into my side or hovering over
my lap. I said, neither works

96
00:05:56.120 --> 00:05:59.399
for me. I paid for this
seat, and I pressed my arm right

97
00:05:59.480 --> 00:06:03.920
back into his. Wow. Now
this is intriguing because usually you don't say

98
00:06:03.959 --> 00:06:10.199
anything. Yeah, And when I've
been in that situation, I've leaned over

99
00:06:10.600 --> 00:06:13.759
like to you know, like I'll
lean into the aisle or I'll lean into

100
00:06:13.800 --> 00:06:17.120
the window, just to kind of
try to make myself as small as humanly

101
00:06:17.199 --> 00:06:21.079
possible. Yeah, and I know
that person is big and it's not going

102
00:06:21.120 --> 00:06:25.360
to change. Sure. And I
had mentioned yesterday we were on a first

103
00:06:25.360 --> 00:06:29.560
class flight back from Hawaii and a
very large man, probably close to four

104
00:06:29.639 --> 00:06:32.879
hundred pounds, bought himself a first
class ticket because he probably knew I ain't

105
00:06:32.879 --> 00:06:35.160
gonna be able to sit back in
the little, skinny little time me.

106
00:06:35.240 --> 00:06:39.360
No. No. It goes on
to say, if he were just a

107
00:06:39.399 --> 00:06:42.360
big dude sitting there and it couldn't
help being in other people's space, that's

108
00:06:42.360 --> 00:06:46.439
a completely different scenario than intentionally pressing
your way into someone else's space. It

109
00:06:46.560 --> 00:06:49.680
was so bizarre that I looked for
hidden cameras, thinking this had to be

110
00:06:49.720 --> 00:06:53.959
a prank. There's no way people
can be this rude. Well I guess

111
00:06:54.040 --> 00:06:59.600
they are. Anyway, I'll stop
venting for now unless you need me to

112
00:06:59.680 --> 00:07:01.360
content you that is from well,
I'm not going to say her name is.

113
00:07:01.439 --> 00:07:03.199
I don't think she wants me to. I want that to be like

114
00:07:03.240 --> 00:07:06.439
the start of their love story.
Though, wouldn't that be a time this

115
00:07:06.519 --> 00:07:11.839
turns into a romantic comedy. And
we met when he was pressing his arm

116
00:07:11.920 --> 00:07:16.079
into my space's taking up all of
my bubble. I just and now we're

117
00:07:16.120 --> 00:07:20.560
in love. We two kids.
She goes on to say, I think

118
00:07:20.600 --> 00:07:24.399
I'd still rather be dart licking.
So, in other words, she would

119
00:07:24.480 --> 00:07:27.120
rather be dart licking than the situation
she was in. Thanks for the follow

120
00:07:27.199 --> 00:07:31.319
up on that. That was really
really interesting. Okay, next one,

121
00:07:32.000 --> 00:07:36.360
You guys are not alone. I've
been a podcast listener for fifteen or twenty

122
00:07:36.439 --> 00:07:41.399
years, and I've been over over
fifty podcasts I subscribe to, so I

123
00:07:41.439 --> 00:07:45.399
have some experience. Almost half the
shows I listened to have ads inserted at

124
00:07:45.480 --> 00:07:48.800
odd times and when using a vp
N. Who do you know what a

125
00:07:48.879 --> 00:07:51.879
VPN is? Yes? I do. Yes. Do you want to describe

126
00:07:51.879 --> 00:07:55.759
it? I couldn't tell you what
it is, but I know that it

127
00:07:55.839 --> 00:07:59.079
exists. It's like so you can
get on the on the Internet in places

128
00:07:59.079 --> 00:08:01.839
that it's like block. I don't
think that's exactly it. I think it's

129
00:08:01.879 --> 00:08:05.319
so you're anonymous. Okay, So
in other words, let's say let's say

130
00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:11.680
that I'm on Oh, I don't
know. Let's say I have Comcast Internet.

131
00:08:11.720 --> 00:08:13.199
I don't even know if Comcast is
still a thing, but let's say

132
00:08:13.199 --> 00:08:16.600
I have that, and then I
want to go on Adult friend Finder and

133
00:08:16.680 --> 00:08:22.879
it'll go through Adult friend Finders servers, and then they can go, oh,

134
00:08:22.879 --> 00:08:26.399
well, Dave Ryan is on Adult
friends Finder address, there's his IP

135
00:08:26.519 --> 00:08:31.040
address. But if I go through
a VPN, my IP address is hidden

136
00:08:31.079 --> 00:08:35.759
by this VPN, so Comcast can't
see that it's me. It'll send them

137
00:08:35.879 --> 00:08:41.759
a randomly maybe generated VPN, and
then the VPN company doesn't know who I

138
00:08:41.799 --> 00:08:45.679
am, or they keep it secret
or whatever. So when I go on

139
00:08:45.720 --> 00:08:50.600
Adult friend Finder and I'm looking for
I call it men seeking men or men

140
00:08:50.840 --> 00:08:56.840
for men, or I'll shorten it
to M the number four M M four

141
00:08:58.000 --> 00:09:01.519
M yeah, M for m oh. But now I do you can call

142
00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:09.360
this episode M four M. That's
literally what I wrote them and anyway,

143
00:09:09.399 --> 00:09:11.840
so that's what a VPN is.
So let's continue. I get ads from

144
00:09:11.840 --> 00:09:16.919
different states and languages, even an
ad with with Dave Ryan Forlivia on one

145
00:09:16.919 --> 00:09:22.519
of the beer brewing podcasts that I
listened to Wow really on a VPN too,

146
00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:30.440
because the VPN will think it will
tell a site you're in Baton Rouge,

147
00:09:30.639 --> 00:09:35.559
or you're in Schenectady, or you're
in Turlock, California, rather than

148
00:09:35.879 --> 00:09:41.799
you're in Chanhassen, Minnesota, so
VPN hides you. So anyway, basically,

149
00:09:41.840 --> 00:09:45.879
podcasts are more popular than ever and
make money and ad companies don't care

150
00:09:46.600 --> 00:09:50.200
less about listeners. And with the
ad being a location based I would think

151
00:09:50.240 --> 00:09:54.200
they are added in the download process
and I'm not sure the creators can control

152
00:09:54.240 --> 00:09:56.960
where the ads show up, but
I could be wrong, and they finish

153
00:09:56.039 --> 00:10:01.559
off with thank you. That is
from Jimmy B. If you have any

154
00:10:01.879 --> 00:10:07.279
left eye, would I have room
on my beer fridge for a sticker taking

155
00:10:07.320 --> 00:10:09.320
a picture of your address right now, Jimmy B. All I know about

156
00:10:09.399 --> 00:10:13.240
VPNs is that high schoolers use them
so that they can get on the websites

157
00:10:13.279 --> 00:10:16.320
that are blocked at school. Oh
seriously, yeah, that's why I That's

158
00:10:16.320 --> 00:10:18.039
why I said, like, oh, you do it to get onto things

159
00:10:18.039 --> 00:10:20.759
that are blocked, because that's all
I know it from is like, oh,

160
00:10:20.759 --> 00:10:24.000
if you want to get on the
discord app or if you want to

161
00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:26.639
get on Instagram and you're in a
high school that has it blocked to use

162
00:10:26.639 --> 00:10:30.600
a VPN to get to it because
you do a lot with high school students.

163
00:10:30.639 --> 00:10:33.159
To clarify, it's not like you're
hanging out with you shirts hanging out

164
00:10:33.159 --> 00:10:35.919
with high schoolers. I literally,
like work in high schools all the time.

165
00:10:35.039 --> 00:10:39.840
So yeah, I and I actually
had like one of the ninth graders

166
00:10:39.879 --> 00:10:41.159
on my speech team. She taught
me how to do it, and I

167
00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:45.480
felt like a fuddy duddy old lady. I was like, could you why

168
00:10:45.480 --> 00:10:48.480
does my phone not work every time
I'm here? She's like, how do

169
00:10:48.480 --> 00:10:52.840
you idiot? Hear? Give it
to me? I learned, do you?

170
00:10:52.159 --> 00:10:56.919
I want to make sure that something's
not happening here because I had Jenny's

171
00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:01.559
volume up in the other room.
So I'm gonna stop this recording for an

172
00:11:01.639 --> 00:11:03.720
instant. You won't even notice it. I'm in double check our audio quality

173
00:11:05.320 --> 00:11:07.840
and we're safe. Okay. So
I told you it'd be an instant you

174
00:11:07.840 --> 00:11:09.559
wouldn't even notice it. It's kind
of like getting surgery. Okay, You're

175
00:11:09.559 --> 00:11:13.240
gonna go out in three two and
then you wake up and you're like,

176
00:11:13.279 --> 00:11:18.600
would huh wake up? Like,
where's my mom, uh what else?

177
00:11:18.840 --> 00:11:22.320
Okay, so here is Oh,
I know what it was gonna ask you,

178
00:11:22.440 --> 00:11:26.480
what do high school kids think about
you being on KWDB? Do they

179
00:11:26.480 --> 00:11:31.200
think that's cool? Or you know, in all transparency, fewer high school

180
00:11:31.279 --> 00:11:33.080
kids listen to the radio. Yes, a lot doing they love it,

181
00:11:33.559 --> 00:11:39.519
But a lot listen to their podcast
or they're streaming or whatever. I honestly,

182
00:11:39.519 --> 00:11:41.399
I don't think any of them know
that I'm on the radio. Really,

183
00:11:41.480 --> 00:11:46.360
yeah, truly, I think the
more it's more the other speech coaches

184
00:11:46.399 --> 00:11:48.000
that I work with, they know
that I'm on the radio. So like

185
00:11:48.080 --> 00:11:52.480
yesterday I coached a section speech tournament
and literally just like sitting in the judges

186
00:11:52.519 --> 00:11:54.759
lounge, people would come up to
me and they'd be like, hey,

187
00:11:56.000 --> 00:12:00.919
Bailey, look at you, like
radio girl. Isn't that fun? I'm

188
00:12:00.960 --> 00:12:03.120
like, I haven't talked to you
in years, Like, how is it

189
00:12:03.240 --> 00:12:07.120
right now you're interested in talking to
me? Ha ha, that's funny.

190
00:12:07.320 --> 00:12:11.960
Coach like community is very like clicky
at times. So yeah, people come

191
00:12:13.039 --> 00:12:16.320
up to me, but they're all
like adult people. But no, So

192
00:12:16.440 --> 00:12:20.279
in a way, it's kind of
like the cliche episode of a sitcom where

193
00:12:20.639 --> 00:12:26.799
the ordinary girl who has glasses and
a goofy hairstyle in dresses like it's you

194
00:12:26.879 --> 00:12:31.000
know, the nineteen seventies. Yes, she has a friend that's from California.

195
00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:33.720
Yes, that remakes her, gets
rid of her glasses, gets some

196
00:12:33.879 --> 00:12:39.480
makeup, has her hair done,
and buys clothes down at at forever twenty

197
00:12:39.480 --> 00:12:41.960
one, forever twenty one, I
don't know. And now she comes into

198
00:12:41.960 --> 00:12:46.639
school and all the boys are like, Hi, Jennifer, how are you

199
00:12:46.720 --> 00:12:50.840
a friend there? I've been going
here this whole time, So now you're

200
00:12:50.960 --> 00:12:54.399
are you cooler than you were?
Because you're on the radio. I'm either

201
00:12:54.440 --> 00:12:56.639
cooler than I was or they think
that they can like suck up to me

202
00:12:56.679 --> 00:13:00.240
and they're like, you know what
you could talk about on the area And

203
00:13:00.320 --> 00:13:03.600
I'm cool. I don't care,
Thank you bye. So now what I

204
00:13:03.639 --> 00:13:07.919
want you to do? In the
same cliche sitcom episode, has become a

205
00:13:07.000 --> 00:13:11.720
bitch and a snob because I think
that happened one time on The Brady Bunch

206
00:13:11.799 --> 00:13:16.000
back when I was a kid,
Marcia taught a plain girl how to be

207
00:13:16.159 --> 00:13:20.639
cute, and now the plain girl
became a bitch and a snob. Takes

208
00:13:20.679 --> 00:13:26.120
over from Marsha and Marsh's like,
but I'm the gorgeous right so, and

209
00:13:26.120 --> 00:13:28.960
that all happened like in the half
an hour episode you remember, right.

210
00:13:28.000 --> 00:13:31.399
So, Anyway, I was never
cool until I was on the radio.

211
00:13:31.879 --> 00:13:35.879
And being on the radio didn't make
me cool, but it made people think

212
00:13:35.919 --> 00:13:39.240
that I'm cool. Yeah, I
mean same, Yeah, No one thought

213
00:13:39.240 --> 00:13:43.559
I was cool until literally October.
And I'm still not cool. I mean,

214
00:13:43.559 --> 00:13:46.559
if you saw me during the rest
of the day when I'm not on

215
00:13:46.559 --> 00:13:52.440
the radio, you'd be like,
I don't like him because I go home

216
00:13:52.799 --> 00:13:56.039
and I take a nap and I
watched Masters of the Air and then I

217
00:13:56.120 --> 00:13:58.919
watched Suits and I'll get something cold
out of the fridge, and I'm not

218
00:14:00.240 --> 00:14:03.039
cool at home. I'm not talking
on the phone with the Jonas brothers.

219
00:14:03.399 --> 00:14:09.360
I'm not I'm not cool, but
being on the radio in a way kind

220
00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:13.279
of gave me a little bit of
credibility. Yeah, all right, next

221
00:14:13.320 --> 00:14:18.360
one again, this one, I
have not pre write it, but let's

222
00:14:18.360 --> 00:14:22.879
see what happens. Don't say an
ame, I'm gonna get spicy for a

223
00:14:22.919 --> 00:14:26.200
minute. To the girl that said
she would probably get torn apart for commenting

224
00:14:26.240 --> 00:14:30.840
about bigger people on the airplane,
yes you should. How about you get

225
00:14:30.879 --> 00:14:35.159
mad at the airline company for mathematically
figuring out how small they can possibly make

226
00:14:35.159 --> 00:14:39.039
the seats to fit as many as
possible on an airplane and take up every

227
00:14:39.120 --> 00:14:43.120
possible square inch of space so they
can make every possible dollar that they can

228
00:14:43.200 --> 00:14:46.519
instead of making it a more comfortable
ride for their customers. How about you

229
00:14:46.559 --> 00:14:50.919
get mad at America and the FDA
for allowing companies to put such terrible shit

230
00:14:52.000 --> 00:14:56.639
in our food and make garbage food
cheap and healthy food expensive. Or how

231
00:14:56.679 --> 00:14:58.919
about you get mad at our way
of life for being so stressful and causing

232
00:15:00.039 --> 00:15:03.000
people to overeat as a way to
cope, and actual access to good mental

233
00:15:03.039 --> 00:15:07.440
health care so out of reach.
I could go on, but honestly,

234
00:15:07.559 --> 00:15:11.759
the last person you should get mad
at for inconveniencing your world on an airplane

235
00:15:11.879 --> 00:15:16.279
is a big person. And it's
not just fat people. I'm five seven,

236
00:15:16.360 --> 00:15:20.039
but fairly broad and thick. Even
I have a hard time keeping to

237
00:15:20.080 --> 00:15:24.279
myself narrow enough in the seat to
not get nailed by the drink cart or

238
00:15:24.360 --> 00:15:28.080
intentionally hog the arm rest. My
husband is six foot six and just a

239
00:15:28.120 --> 00:15:31.879
big dude in general. Just forget
about it. He's never gonna be comfortable

240
00:15:31.919 --> 00:15:33.759
on an airplane, and I'm doomed
to spend the rest of my lifetime giving

241
00:15:33.840 --> 00:15:37.799
up half of my seat to him. We once waited in line for two

242
00:15:37.799 --> 00:15:39.559
hours for a ride at a theme
park and he ended up not being able

243
00:15:39.559 --> 00:15:43.039
to go because his legs were too
long, not because he was too big.

244
00:15:43.480 --> 00:15:46.600
The world is not made for people
his size, and his bigness is

245
00:15:46.639 --> 00:15:50.600
no fault of his own. But
then there's people like you. This is

246
00:15:50.759 --> 00:15:54.879
doocy that exists in the world that
are mad about something that he has no

247
00:15:54.960 --> 00:16:00.480
control over. What are they supposed
to do? Just not travel? Travel

248
00:16:00.480 --> 00:16:03.799
than when they can afford a thousand
dollars first class ticket. Your issue lies

249
00:16:03.840 --> 00:16:07.720
with the airlines, and they're absurdly
small seats, not the big people.

250
00:16:07.240 --> 00:16:11.600
In other word, in other news, since I've been meaning to email for

251
00:16:11.600 --> 00:16:14.759
a while, here are some random
topics. Well let's stop there for a

252
00:16:14.799 --> 00:16:18.000
second. I really like her thoughts, and it's always always good to get

253
00:16:18.039 --> 00:16:22.159
another side of the story and put
it really well too. She really did,

254
00:16:22.279 --> 00:16:25.879
and it was a little bit spicy, But I really appreciate that because

255
00:16:25.919 --> 00:16:29.960
I think one of the things that
we are very prone to do as humans

256
00:16:30.519 --> 00:16:36.559
is only see our side and when
somebody else starts to present their side,

257
00:16:37.200 --> 00:16:40.759
you get shouted down. It's kind
of like arguing with a bad partner that

258
00:16:40.879 --> 00:16:44.639
won't listen but interrupts you constantly.
And now they raise their voice because they

259
00:16:44.639 --> 00:16:45.440
don't want to hear what you're saying, and they only want to get their

260
00:16:45.440 --> 00:16:51.759
word in. So I think it's
always good in almost anything in life to

261
00:16:51.879 --> 00:16:55.840
listen to the other side. And
you might go, Nope, you still

262
00:16:55.960 --> 00:16:59.759
crazy, but I think it's good
to listen. So thank you for that.

263
00:16:59.799 --> 00:17:03.759
I appreciate that. So onto the
other topics. What happened to the

264
00:17:03.799 --> 00:17:06.519
old traffic guy, Tom something?
It's a lady now, I believe she's

265
00:17:06.519 --> 00:17:10.480
fine, but the older guy's voice
was so soothing. I truly don't know.

266
00:17:10.519 --> 00:17:12.759
I'm gonna give you a little behind
the scenes peak. Those traffic people

267
00:17:12.839 --> 00:17:18.680
aren't even in Minnesota. They are
in Chicago last I heard, and they

268
00:17:18.720 --> 00:17:22.160
monitor the traffic cams out of a
big traffic new Nerve center. And I'm

269
00:17:22.160 --> 00:17:30.000
gonna guess they don't get paid a
lot, so they probably changed jobs fairly

270
00:17:30.119 --> 00:17:33.160
frequently. I'm going to care.
I remember one time you said, I

271
00:17:33.480 --> 00:17:37.640
remember you saying that on the air
one time that they were not local because

272
00:17:37.680 --> 00:17:41.519
they would mispronounce like names of Starpenteur, Yeah yeah, shack apee. So

273
00:17:41.559 --> 00:17:45.359
I think about that every time I
hear the traffic people on her and that.

274
00:17:45.440 --> 00:17:48.279
You know, it's funny because when
I first started here, we had

275
00:17:48.319 --> 00:17:52.440
a real traffic guy in a real
airplane, Pete Bush. Oh you remember,

276
00:17:52.559 --> 00:17:56.359
And Pete Bush was a wonderfully funny
guy. And we used to do

277
00:17:56.440 --> 00:18:00.119
a bit called get naked on your
roof, And if you got naked on

278
00:18:00.119 --> 00:18:03.720
your roof, Pete Bush would fly
over with binoculars and verify that you were

279
00:18:03.839 --> 00:18:07.319
naked on your roof. Good bit, and we would give you whatever concert

280
00:18:07.319 --> 00:18:10.240
tickets we had at the time.
Oh my god. But Pete had a

281
00:18:10.279 --> 00:18:15.039
little like one assessment of one seventy
two or something, not a helicopter.

282
00:18:15.160 --> 00:18:18.920
Helicopters are outrageously expensive. But he
would fly over with his pilot and he

283
00:18:18.920 --> 00:18:23.319
would do traffic and and those days
have been gone for I mean a very

284
00:18:23.359 --> 00:18:27.519
long time. That's cute. Also, I'm always blown away by how people

285
00:18:27.559 --> 00:18:30.920
remember the names of songs, especially
when the title isn't in the chorus.

286
00:18:32.359 --> 00:18:36.440
I understand that you guys see the
names more often than most in your systems.

287
00:18:36.720 --> 00:18:38.920
But unless I'm building my own playlist
from back in the CD days,

288
00:18:38.960 --> 00:18:44.119
following along on the CD jacket,
I have no clue what the actual name

289
00:18:44.119 --> 00:18:45.640
of a song is. I don't
have a fancy display in my car that

290
00:18:45.680 --> 00:18:51.720
shows that info info. I am
flying blind and I usually just listen to

291
00:18:51.799 --> 00:18:56.519
pre made playlists on Spotify. Don't
tell iHeart. Obviously I know the well

292
00:18:56.559 --> 00:19:00.319
known ones, but for newer ones, absolutely not. It's wild to me

293
00:19:00.400 --> 00:19:04.720
when people can pull a song name
out of nowhere. Oh okay, yeah,

294
00:19:06.119 --> 00:19:08.319
I never really thought about that one. I will say that iHeart has

295
00:19:08.359 --> 00:19:15.440
a super legit system just like Spotify, and there is a paid version of

296
00:19:15.480 --> 00:19:21.000
the iHeart app that is just as
legit as Spotify. I listened to all

297
00:19:21.039 --> 00:19:23.519
my podcasts on iHeart, do you
yeah. I think it's there's way more

298
00:19:23.519 --> 00:19:26.160
options than there are on Spotify.
Actually, well, I think the thing

299
00:19:26.160 --> 00:19:30.400
with Spotify is, and there's a
slogan that I wrote up that we use

300
00:19:30.440 --> 00:19:34.000
occasionally that's Spotify can't Katie w b
No, it can't. And Spotify has

301
00:19:34.200 --> 00:19:40.440
you know, podcasts, and they
have music, but they don't have radio

302
00:19:40.519 --> 00:19:45.160
shows, and they don't have Heart
and soul. You're never gonna go to

303
00:19:45.000 --> 00:19:52.079
Spotify to hear Bailey talk about being
from Andover or me talking about my wife

304
00:19:52.160 --> 00:19:56.839
having surgery at Fairview Southdale. It
just doesn't exist on Southdale or on Southdale

305
00:19:57.039 --> 00:20:03.240
on Spotify flavor that I know of. I don't think they Probably they maybe

306
00:20:03.279 --> 00:20:07.839
have their national radio stations like okay, here's the yacht rock radio station on

307
00:20:07.880 --> 00:20:14.079
Spotify, but they're you know,
that's from somebody who's working in you know,

308
00:20:14.440 --> 00:20:17.960
like I don't know, Boise,
Idaho or something. Yeah, and

309
00:20:18.000 --> 00:20:22.640
they're not local, but we're local
here in Denver, Colorado. We're your

310
00:20:22.680 --> 00:20:27.839
friends here in Denver, Colorada.
Let's see one more. That's all I

311
00:20:27.880 --> 00:20:30.119
already have. I already have a
sticker. I just need to chime in

312
00:20:30.119 --> 00:20:33.640
because that plane shit fired me up. Have a great day everyone, except

313
00:20:33.680 --> 00:20:41.319
the apparently appropriately for flying apparently appropriately
for flying sized woman. Hey, you

314
00:20:41.359 --> 00:20:42.839
know what, I think that if
I always tell people, if you met,

315
00:20:42.880 --> 00:20:48.039
you would find each other charming.
You will have your differences, just

316
00:20:48.079 --> 00:20:51.599
like anybody has differences. But I
always tell people that call in or write

317
00:20:51.599 --> 00:20:52.599
in, they say, you're a
piece of shit, Dave Ryan, And

318
00:20:55.200 --> 00:20:57.440
I said, you know what,
what what what what were you going to

319
00:20:57.480 --> 00:21:03.680
say? Have a point? But
no, Carrie. Wait, but I'll

320
00:21:03.680 --> 00:21:06.599
write them back and I try to
be nice until they just won't see it,

321
00:21:06.640 --> 00:21:07.920
and then I'll be like, you
know, if you don't want to

322
00:21:07.960 --> 00:21:11.720
listen anymore, you don't have to. But most of the time I'll write

323
00:21:11.720 --> 00:21:12.880
them back and I say, hey, I still love you, and they'll

324
00:21:12.880 --> 00:21:15.400
be like, I still love you
too. Yeah. If you respond to

325
00:21:15.480 --> 00:21:18.960
like a nasty comment with like,
hah, yeah, I am kind of

326
00:21:19.519 --> 00:21:22.359
kind of crap, aren't I,
And then they'll be like, oh my

327
00:21:22.359 --> 00:21:27.200
god, Dave's funny. They have
a sense of humor exactly. I don't

328
00:21:27.240 --> 00:21:32.440
know that I've got another one.
This is from Andrew. And Andrew writes

329
00:21:32.519 --> 00:21:36.240
quite often, and we do have
some extra time for Andrew. So he

330
00:21:36.319 --> 00:21:40.839
says, I was listening to her
show's podcast from yesterday. You were talking

331
00:21:40.880 --> 00:21:42.440
to the girl about the date with
the guy that was wearing the captain's hat,

332
00:21:42.640 --> 00:21:45.960
and she said, who the fuck
wears that? I was just curious

333
00:21:47.000 --> 00:21:49.039
if you guys caught that. You
didn't acknowledge it on the recording at all.

334
00:21:49.519 --> 00:21:52.359
And my guest says, if it
aired that way, that you hit

335
00:21:52.400 --> 00:21:55.680
the dump button, but I was
curious if you caught it or not.

336
00:21:56.079 --> 00:21:59.119
I'm not offended, I just know
some people might be if it was heard

337
00:21:59.160 --> 00:22:03.960
an unexpected dart lick dart lick dart
lick dart dart lick. Oh, two

338
00:22:03.039 --> 00:22:07.039
darts in the dart lick dart.
Uh. That's from Andrew and Ohio who

339
00:22:07.039 --> 00:22:11.119
finally signs off. All right,
Andrew, thanks for being a regular staff

340
00:22:11.160 --> 00:22:15.480
writer. Nobody else caught that.
I think Andrew seriously might have been the

341
00:22:15.480 --> 00:22:18.279
only one. We got one text, and I think it might have been

342
00:22:18.319 --> 00:22:22.640
from animate because I don't think anybody
else heard it. And we do go

343
00:22:22.720 --> 00:22:26.400
through these and it's possible that we
missed an F bomb, but I don't

344
00:22:26.480 --> 00:22:30.720
think we did because nobody else heard
it, and usually something else it's possible,

345
00:22:30.839 --> 00:22:33.720
like like who the f wears that? And maybe what I'm not sure,

346
00:22:34.640 --> 00:22:38.200
but the standard that I usually go
by if somebody call or texts in

347
00:22:38.240 --> 00:22:42.480
and says, hey, iHeartRadio is
not working right now, and then if

348
00:22:42.519 --> 00:22:45.240
they're the only text that says that, then I go, oh, it

349
00:22:45.240 --> 00:22:48.480
could be your phone. Try to
you know, delete the app and reload

350
00:22:48.480 --> 00:22:52.359
it or whatever, and they'll write
back and go yep, that did the

351
00:22:52.359 --> 00:22:55.279
trick. But if somebody, like
a couple of weeks ago, when was

352
00:22:55.319 --> 00:22:59.720
it Facebook that went down all day? We got one text, then we

353
00:22:59.720 --> 00:23:03.559
got an other text, and then
Jenny said Facebook's not working, and so

354
00:23:03.599 --> 00:23:06.359
then all of a sudden we're like, oh, yeah, Facebook's not working.

355
00:23:06.519 --> 00:23:07.920
Yeah, and then we knew.
But if we get just one like

356
00:23:08.000 --> 00:23:11.839
Andrew, it might have and you
it might have just been you heard it

357
00:23:11.880 --> 00:23:15.400
wrong. But either way, Andrew, thank you very much, and thank

358
00:23:15.440 --> 00:23:19.079
you for writing into the Minnesota Goodbye, and thank you for listening to the

359
00:23:19.119 --> 00:23:27.119
Minnesota Goodbye that we always need emails. I won't be here on Monday,

360
00:23:27.200 --> 00:23:32.680
so that'll probably be Jenny and Drake
uh, and then Bailey will be here

361
00:23:32.720 --> 00:23:37.200
again. I think you're coming in
next Tuesday and Wednesday. So we appreciate

362
00:23:37.200 --> 00:23:40.960
you listening. We totally do.
Whether you're listening in the in the far

363
00:23:41.079 --> 00:23:45.279
South, or Boise, Idaho,
or here in our hometown of Denver,

364
00:23:45.480 --> 00:23:52.160
Colorado. There's somebody listening right now. Who's going dag I thought they were

366
