WEBVTT 1 00:00:02.480 --> 00:00:06.759 I pushed the button and immediately choked on my own saliva. We're off to 2 00:00:06.839 --> 00:00:09.880 a great start on the Minnesota Goodbye. It is just Ave and Drake today. 3 00:00:09.960 --> 00:00:15.839 Jenny is out. Jenny has missed more work than is tolerable lately. 4 00:00:15.919 --> 00:00:19.960 She missed this, she missed for jury duty last fall. She went to 5 00:00:20.079 --> 00:00:25.879 Tahiti, she went to Thailand. Yeah, so this is some bullshit Jenny. 6 00:00:26.920 --> 00:00:29.480 It's funny because she texted this more. I don't care. She's fine. 7 00:00:29.920 --> 00:00:32.960 She texted this morning said she couldn't come in at three o'clock in the 8 00:00:33.039 --> 00:00:39.000 morning, and she actually sent a picture of the thermometer. Yeah, and 9 00:00:39.039 --> 00:00:42.679 it said one oh one point three, which I thought it was hilarious, 10 00:00:42.759 --> 00:00:46.200 which is a pretty high temperature. So hopefully she'll feel better. I tried 11 00:00:46.200 --> 00:00:48.880 to get hold of Bailey to come in, and Bailey didn't answer her phone 12 00:00:48.960 --> 00:00:51.560 until like about eight o'clock, and I said, no, it's okay. 13 00:00:51.640 --> 00:00:54.799 So we'll see what happens tomorrow with Bailey. Maybe she'll be here, maybe 14 00:00:54.840 --> 00:00:59.119 Jenny will be here. All right, here we go. Last week there 15 00:00:59.159 --> 00:01:03.040 was somebody who said there coming into Minnesota from Wisconsin and they wanted to know 16 00:01:03.079 --> 00:01:07.920 what to do good morning, my favorite people. Favorite people writing to give 17 00:01:07.959 --> 00:01:11.200 ideas to the ladies coming from Wisconsin and if they wanted to stay at a 18 00:01:11.239 --> 00:01:15.879 hotel, I recommend Best Western plus by Mall of America. It's got a 19 00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:21.560 Fogo gaut show attached to it, which is actually better than Fogo to Chow. 20 00:01:21.959 --> 00:01:23.719 Okay, then you're right by Mall of America. It's got a lot 21 00:01:23.719 --> 00:01:27.680 of restaurants and things to do. Plus ten minute Uber ride to downtown Minneapolis 22 00:01:27.719 --> 00:01:33.640 and off a recommendation from Jenny, I highly recommend Public Domain. And then 23 00:01:33.640 --> 00:01:36.799 if you go to that area, you're right in North Loop, which has 24 00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:41.239 had a ton of fun stuff to do. There's way more to do around 25 00:01:41.239 --> 00:01:44.599 the Twin Cities than to go to one area. So Uber ten or fifteen 26 00:01:44.599 --> 00:01:47.519 minutes here and there and try lots of different stuff. Dude, Can I 27 00:01:47.560 --> 00:01:49.200 say when I used to come here to visit because I used to drive here 28 00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:53.519 a lot, like from I would say from like twenty sixteen to up until 29 00:01:53.560 --> 00:01:57.400 before I moved here. The Crown Plaza by the Mall of America. Yeah, 30 00:01:57.400 --> 00:02:01.280 that was my go to spot overy single time. It was pretty relatively 31 00:02:01.359 --> 00:02:05.920 cheap, and they were also one of the only hotels that allowed me to 32 00:02:05.920 --> 00:02:07.759 stay under twenty one because I would come here while when I was under twenty 33 00:02:07.759 --> 00:02:12.439 one, right right, okay, And then that way the train station. 34 00:02:12.919 --> 00:02:15.759 Right there, you can go either to Mall of America or you can go 35 00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:17.919 downtown with it. I don't know. I thought it was super convenient to 36 00:02:17.919 --> 00:02:22.439 stay there, okay. So Crown Plaza is another one. It's funny because 37 00:02:22.479 --> 00:02:24.879 you bring up hotels and I don't have any other suggestions. If you've got 38 00:02:24.879 --> 00:02:29.520 a suggestion for her, let me know. But Alison, my daughter, 39 00:02:29.680 --> 00:02:32.039 and Susan, my wife, and Ava, Alison's daughter, were just in 40 00:02:32.120 --> 00:02:37.280 Disney and they were trying to save some money, so they stayed at one 41 00:02:37.319 --> 00:02:42.400 of the cheaper places called Pop Century because there's the Contemporary, and there's the 42 00:02:42.479 --> 00:02:46.879 Grand Floridian and the Polynesian and Animal Kingdom, and they stayed at Pop Century 43 00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:50.599 because it was one of the cheaper ones, maybe the cheapest one. And 44 00:02:50.639 --> 00:02:53.719 they were there for two days before they decided they couldn't take it anymore because 45 00:02:53.759 --> 00:03:00.879 there was nothing to do in this hotel. There was no activities or restaurants 46 00:03:00.960 --> 00:03:06.599 or anything to do, and the walls were so thin that they could hear 47 00:03:06.719 --> 00:03:13.400 the neighbor flushing their toilet on both sides, so I know. So they 48 00:03:13.560 --> 00:03:15.879 laughed about it a couple of time, a little bit, and then they 49 00:03:15.919 --> 00:03:19.759 said, we're changing. So they went to Animal Kingdom Lodge one hundred dollars 50 00:03:19.759 --> 00:03:23.639 more a night, but with more to do. And so if you're going 51 00:03:23.639 --> 00:03:27.560 to Disney you want to stay on a budget for Pop Century, great, 52 00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:30.520 but just a heads up, there's not much to do there. All right, 53 00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:36.039 Hey guys, Andrew and Ohio Again, I heard Dave accidentally almost swear 54 00:03:36.039 --> 00:03:38.199 on the radio the other day. I wanted to bring up the topic of 55 00:03:38.240 --> 00:03:42.960 swearing on the radio or TV. Did you guys realize that the FCC is 56 00:03:43.000 --> 00:03:46.319 either going lax on swearing on TV or they made some kind of deal with 57 00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:51.520 Yellowstone. I was watching that show once at nine am live on the Paramount 58 00:03:51.639 --> 00:03:55.840 Network and they were saying uncensored F words and S words. I was shocked. 59 00:03:57.479 --> 00:03:59.919 I mean, I know in the past that they use a little they 60 00:04:00.199 --> 00:04:02.800 to be a little lax on late night TV with swearing in nudity, but 61 00:04:03.080 --> 00:04:08.159 never have I seen uncensored cuss words as I seen on Yellowstone. So what 62 00:04:08.240 --> 00:04:11.919 do you think is it a deal specific to them? Or is the FCC 63 00:04:12.039 --> 00:04:16.199 just changing their ways. If it was on the Paramount network, it's a 64 00:04:16.240 --> 00:04:21.120 different set of rules because the Paramount network is not broadcast over the air. 65 00:04:21.680 --> 00:04:27.399 So the big difference is with the radio station. We can swear all we 66 00:04:27.439 --> 00:04:32.800 want on the podcast because it's not over the airwaves. The airwaves belong to 67 00:04:32.839 --> 00:04:38.399 the public, but on this it is not. You know, it's the 68 00:04:38.480 --> 00:04:42.480 Internet or it's podcasting. It doesn't belong to the public. So if we 69 00:04:42.560 --> 00:04:46.040 swear on KWB, that is still a violation of the FCC. And if 70 00:04:46.079 --> 00:04:51.079 they swear on Channel eleven or on the CBS television network, that's a violation. 71 00:04:51.160 --> 00:04:57.560 But Paramount is its own private app. Doesn't that make sense? Yeah, 72 00:04:57.600 --> 00:05:00.240 that makes sense, So I think that's why they do that. But 73 00:05:00.319 --> 00:05:05.360 yeah, I think I've noticed that too. And Andrew writes again. Okay, 74 00:05:05.439 --> 00:05:10.360 he writes again on Saturday, Andrew, Hey, guys, wanted to 75 00:05:10.360 --> 00:05:15.560 comment on the have you found your Happily Ever After? Topic? Because this 76 00:05:15.639 --> 00:05:19.000 came up. So many of my friends and younger friends are getting a divorce 77 00:05:19.560 --> 00:05:23.800 and they were with somebody and they thought they were the one. And I 78 00:05:23.839 --> 00:05:28.120 even had a friend say one time, I'm moving to Burnsville with the one 79 00:05:29.439 --> 00:05:32.000 and that lasted a couple of months and it didn't work out. So it's 80 00:05:32.199 --> 00:05:36.120 very curious to me. Have you found your happily ever after? Andrew says, 81 00:05:36.120 --> 00:05:40.439 I'm thirty two. I was with the same person for fifteen years. 82 00:05:40.439 --> 00:05:44.240 My first real relationship started my freshman year in high school, and we say 83 00:05:44.279 --> 00:05:46.360 together till I ended up spending some time as a tenant of the state before 84 00:05:46.439 --> 00:05:50.560 COVID. Honestly, though, I think we both thought a love several fell 85 00:05:50.560 --> 00:05:54.600 out of love several years before we actually got the divorce. I know I 86 00:05:54.639 --> 00:05:58.399 can't really speak for her, but for me, I know two years before 87 00:05:58.439 --> 00:06:01.319 we actually got married, I cheated on her and that was probably the end 88 00:06:01.360 --> 00:06:04.959 of the actually happily ever after anyway, wanted to share that now with my 89 00:06:05.040 --> 00:06:10.000 new life. Will be married one year on March third, and the relationship 90 00:06:10.040 --> 00:06:14.399 seems so much better and we're much happier, and the happy ever after feeling 91 00:06:14.439 --> 00:06:17.480 is much stronger than the last relationship. And thanks you guys, love your 92 00:06:17.519 --> 00:06:20.560 show. Andrew, thank you. I think that there's a lot of people 93 00:06:20.600 --> 00:06:24.959 that are still looking for their happily ever after, and probably a lot of 94 00:06:25.040 --> 00:06:29.399 married people that are still looking for their happily ever after. Do you think 95 00:06:29.439 --> 00:06:32.079 people younger find their happily ever after? Do you think it's kind of like 96 00:06:32.639 --> 00:06:35.079 something you find when you get a little bit older, Probably when you get 97 00:06:35.120 --> 00:06:42.920 older. I know two young couples right now that are about forty ish. 98 00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:48.759 One of them told me that she just made a consultation appointment with Jonathan Fogel 99 00:06:49.040 --> 00:06:56.439 m hm, wow, and she's been unhappy ish for a while. And 100 00:06:56.480 --> 00:07:01.199 then another one basically is just been unhappy. And they you know, and 101 00:07:01.240 --> 00:07:08.199 they're young ish and they have kids, and so it just really depends, 102 00:07:08.360 --> 00:07:11.160 you know. There are couples that, I mean, I know couples that 103 00:07:11.160 --> 00:07:14.519 they're each other's best friends and they would never cheat and they would never want 104 00:07:14.560 --> 00:07:16.839 to, you know, be with anybody else but that person. And I 105 00:07:16.879 --> 00:07:21.160 know others that they can barely tolerate that person. So I've seen somebody. 106 00:07:21.319 --> 00:07:25.000 Some people went out like when I went in high school, like high school 107 00:07:25.000 --> 00:07:28.000 sweethearts that you know, they were always like, oh, we're gonna be 108 00:07:28.000 --> 00:07:31.600 We're gonna last forever, and they were just always lovey, lovey dovey all 109 00:07:31.639 --> 00:07:35.600 this. And now this year, actually i've seen two of those people that 110 00:07:35.639 --> 00:07:40.319 I know broken up, Like that's it. Yeah, and it does absolutely 111 00:07:40.480 --> 00:07:44.399 crazy. And that's the thing is like you think you get you think you're 112 00:07:44.399 --> 00:07:46.560 gonna get married, and you found this person and then a few years down 113 00:07:46.600 --> 00:07:50.120 the road or twenty years down the road, you just kind of grow apart. 114 00:07:51.399 --> 00:07:58.240 Let's see, Hello Minnesota, goodbye. After listening to the Friday Morning 115 00:07:58.240 --> 00:08:01.639 podcast, I wanted to write in inside with Dave Ryan on the Taylor Swift 116 00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:05.720 debate. We had just a fun time on Friday and it wasn't meant to 117 00:08:05.759 --> 00:08:11.759 be taken seriously. And I love Taylor Swift and she's so talented and she's 118 00:08:11.800 --> 00:08:16.720 such a song great songwriter, an amazing performer and business person. But I 119 00:08:16.759 --> 00:08:20.439 said, and I really believe this, that she is a good singer, 120 00:08:20.439 --> 00:08:22.839 but not a great singer. And this bitch over here, Drake, and 121 00:08:22.879 --> 00:08:26.759 the other bitch in the room that's not here today, Jenny, You're like, 122 00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:31.160 oh my god, she's the holy grail of all that is holy and 123 00:08:31.360 --> 00:08:33.200 entertaining. And I said, shut up. She can sing. But I 124 00:08:33.240 --> 00:08:37.799 said, if she were in the Ossio High School choir, they'd put her 125 00:08:37.799 --> 00:08:41.639 back in the soprano section. They would never let her do the solo in 126 00:08:41.679 --> 00:08:46.879 the Spring concert, and you guys are like, oh god, listen. 127 00:08:46.039 --> 00:08:50.399 I wasn't a hundred percent disagreeing with you. I was just like, I 128 00:08:50.440 --> 00:08:56.759 couldn't believe that you were going on the show and like openly just ripping on 129 00:08:56.840 --> 00:09:00.840 her as much as you were. But I was concern for you, no, 130 00:09:01.080 --> 00:09:03.279 And I said, she's a good singer, better than me, but 131 00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:07.519 not a great singer. And I think that anybody who and listen, I'm 132 00:09:07.559 --> 00:09:11.320 not a great judge of singers, but Adell is a great singer. Beyonce 133 00:09:11.519 --> 00:09:13.399 is. I don't think Beyonce is as good as a Dele, but Beyonce 134 00:09:13.559 --> 00:09:18.080 is a great singer. I think that Miley Cyberus is a great singer, 135 00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:24.759 but I don't think that Taylor Swift is. But that's okay. I will 136 00:09:24.759 --> 00:09:28.600 tell you, like one of my favorite bands, Kiss, Their songs aren't 137 00:09:28.600 --> 00:09:33.080 great. They've got two songs that are good Detroit Rock City and Beth. 138 00:09:33.519 --> 00:09:37.279 The rest of their songs are okay, yeah, and none of them can 139 00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:41.080 really sing well, but it doesn't matter. They're great entertainers. So have 140 00:09:41.120 --> 00:09:46.039 you ever have you ever gone so listen to like an artist, like listen 141 00:09:46.120 --> 00:09:48.399 to their music really fell in love with them and then went to see them 142 00:09:48.440 --> 00:09:52.840 live and then they're just absolutely terrible live. Like you ever think of anybody 143 00:09:52.840 --> 00:09:58.039 of you? Machine Gun Kelly Oh, really really bad one for me. 144 00:09:58.120 --> 00:10:01.279 Yeah, Like I went and saw him. I think it was a Milwaukee 145 00:10:01.519 --> 00:10:05.679 and it was like when he was just releasing all of his like rock stuff, 146 00:10:05.679 --> 00:10:09.759 when he was doing the rock pump pop stuff, and I went saw 147 00:10:09.799 --> 00:10:13.159 him and I was so disappointed, like he had like the energy was there 148 00:10:13.200 --> 00:10:15.799 or whatnot, but he just sounded so bad. That's it. Yeah, 149 00:10:15.799 --> 00:10:18.639 And sometimes people don't if they don't have a lot of experience on stage, 150 00:10:18.720 --> 00:10:22.360 they just don't know how to pull that off. I know you get an 151 00:10:22.360 --> 00:10:24.639 appointment in minute, So we're going to wrap up with one more email, 152 00:10:24.720 --> 00:10:28.240 Hello Minnesota. Oh, same one, but she can continues. I am 153 00:10:28.279 --> 00:10:31.120 a nineteen year old woman, so part of Taylor's target audience. But I 154 00:10:31.120 --> 00:10:33.960 agree with Dave that her voice is not particularly exceptional. I love her music. 155 00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:39.279 I think your songwriting is excellent, but she sounds fantastic into performances because 156 00:10:39.320 --> 00:10:43.200 they're her songs. Most people don't write songs out of their vocal range or 157 00:10:43.240 --> 00:10:48.919 with notes that are particularly challenging. To sing. Adele could easily sing any 158 00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:52.320 of Taylor's songs with little or no practice, but I don't think Taylor would 159 00:10:52.320 --> 00:10:54.360 be able to do the opposite. I don't think Taylor. I also don't 160 00:10:54.360 --> 00:10:58.200 think Taylor would have been successful without how well off her parents were. They 161 00:10:58.279 --> 00:11:01.759 both worked in business and finance, and we're very well off. In fact, 162 00:11:03.240 --> 00:11:07.559 I believe they even moved to Nashville primarily to help Taylor pursuer dreams, 163 00:11:07.960 --> 00:11:11.600 which is not something most parents would be able to do. They also paid 164 00:11:11.600 --> 00:11:15.639 for her to take songwriting lessons. Of course, a lot of Taylor's success 165 00:11:15.720 --> 00:11:18.879 is hers how she's branded herself, her songwriting, performance ability, and fan 166 00:11:18.960 --> 00:11:22.360 interactions. But I don't think it's a bad thing to admit she's not the 167 00:11:22.399 --> 00:11:26.679 greatest singer on the planet. If I were Taylor and heard people saying that 168 00:11:26.720 --> 00:11:30.639 about me, I'd have so much success and money that I don't think I 169 00:11:30.679 --> 00:11:33.039 would give a darts lick.
