We're going to start off the Minnesota Goodbye by welcoming somebody who is helping out
with the Minnesota Goodbye, and she's actually been on the Minnesota Goodbye before.
If you want to pull a microphone up to your mouth hole there, Brianna,
Hi, Brianna, Hey, I'm back, Brianna. What to explain
what your new job is on the Minnesota Goodbye. I am the official secretary
of the Dave Ryan in the Morning Show. So what are your duties entail
this morning? Filling out the envelopes, making sure I get the stamp on,
sealing it, and then probably getting it in the mail of the staff
writerer stickers. Yeah, yeah, you're gonna mail lot staff rider stickers,
which I looked back through my when somebody writes in and they want a staff
rider sticker because they deserve one, I take a picture of it with my
phone. And I've been so far behind, partly out of via responsibility and
bad time management. But then Bailey said, well, I'll do it for
you, and I'm like, oh, good, thanks, because I really
appreciate that. But Bailey has a Android phone and so yeah, so we
couldn't air drop those to her. I just air dropped you thirty five or
so excellent. Now, I will say that, in trying to rapidly choose,
there is a possibility that I might have sent you something that I should
not have sent you. And hopefully it's just a picture of like, you
know, Josie or something. But if it's juice here, just make sure
you send it then to me. Yeah, I can't even imagine. I
hope there's nothing in my phone that's like I took a screenshot of something incriminating
or something embarrassing or whatever. Need you Oh yeah, yeah, So thank
you, Bree. We appreciate that one. Bree is a big supporter of
the show, and you came in about a month or so ago. You
said you want to come in and meet the show, and so you came
in and you were delightful and you hung out for a while. I did.
It was awesome, And you're helping it with Street Street clean up today.
I am. I'm excited to be here. I think the thing is
that gradually we're going to let Brie kind of take over my job on the
show, so I can kind of just fade away. It would mind,
Brie, what do you do normally? I'm a nurse. Normally I work
in leadership every day. Right on, Yeah, okay, question for you.
I hurt right here where like I woke up yesterday morning, right under
my chin where the lymph nodes are. But they're not swollen. You know
what? That is, just another chin growing in. Okay, thank you,
dam growing pain, this growing pain. Start off with the emails good
morning. Wanted to write in and give a shout out to Bailey for knowing
where OGLV is. It's where I live, but not where I'm from.
Originally, my husband grew up there. That's how I made my way here.
We are the town where men Dot put up the population signs with the
name of this town spelled wrong. Oh didn't they really awkward? Also,
I just heard Tipsy by Shaboozi on a Saint Cloud country station last night.
I was a bit surprised to have but happy to hear it. It is
definitely my song of summer. Have a great day, guys. And it
says no name please, So I'm gonna go back and I'm gonna edit her
name out of the podcast. So I wonder why she doesn't want me to
say her name? Okay, wow, After it says Howdy hoe my favorites.
After hearing this segment on nicknames, I felt they must tell you a
little story about how I got mine. Kelly Karate. Picture it nineteen ninety
five, Nice suburban development. Little Kelly is five years old in her best
dress for her first day of kindergarten. She and her best friend have been
practicing their power Ranger moves all summer. She indeed held the strength of the
yellow Power Ranger as she stepped aboard the first yellow school bus. Who was
she to encounter but a group of fifth grade boys who yelled, who called
her, who called her and her friend babies babies cue, best friend telling
Kellylly, show him some of your moves. So she loyally stood up and,
giving her best hi, yeah, gave a swift kick right to the
shins of mean Jimmy. From that day forward, she was coined Karate Kelly.
Did she flourish in the kick ass name? No, They would taunt
her in the Nana Nana Nana Karate Kelly one hundred times a day. Did
she continue to kick like a karate like Kelly Karate when teased? And yes,
there's a photo attached to me the moment before I got my nickname.
Oh and she wants a staff rider sticker. So I'm going to give you
another one, Breeody. And it is a picture of a little girl getting
on a bus. It is so first day of school. She's got her
little backpack on, she is waving to mom goodbye, and she's wearing a
beautiful blue five year old girl dress and it's very sweet. So karate Kelly,
what a great story. Thank you. Next one, Okay, I
don't think I can read this one because it has to do with ratings,
and we're not allowed to talk about radio station ratings. I think I probably
can on the podcast, but I'm not going to. I don't want to
stray into anything that I'm not allowed to get into. So basically, she
talks about how she listens to the show. And if your name is Ali,
thank you. I cannot read your entire email, but I will say
a question for Jenny, what has been your favorite Survivor season that you've watched
so far? I would have to say the Millennials versus gen x ers or
yea gen x that's what it was. I get confused because the millennials are
like what I feel like, are gen z age now because it's such an
old season, so I'm like, wait, what is it? But yeah,
that's definitely it. I really liked Cook Islands and any season that has
Stephen Fishbok the love of my life blood versus water. Ooh, blood versus
I haven't seen that one yet. Oh, I love survivor what a vibe
really like furiously reading something right now? Yeah, some of them are not
for the Minnesota Goodbye, But this is somebody who says, check your mailbox
tomorrow, Dave. You've been such a huge part of my life. It's
the least I could do. Hours of running entertained by you. So I
think she sent me a shirt. Yeah, okay, good, thank you,
Shannon, appreciate that. Okay, next one, Minnesota Goodbye. I
want to start out by saying how much I love this podcast. I drive
all day for work, and y'all are literally the only thing that I like
to listen to. My questions are for you, Dave. I was listening
to an older podcast where you were all discussing the fear of flying and how
you were saying that planes don't really don't crash anymore. I know you're a
pilot, so I'm wondering if you've ever had any scary moments or close calls.
Also, do you own your own airplane or do you rent one when
you fly? I've always wondered how that works. Have a great day.
Thanks for making my driving days a hoot from Hillary. Okay. Because of
technology and so much more safety, there really hasn't been a serious commercial plane
crash in the United States in fifteen ish years and back. You know,
even like in the nineties or in the eighties, there was one probably two
or three times a year, like a serious, fatal, massive, deadly
plane crash, and there really hasn't been any lately. Knock on wood,
just like random fires every once in a while, or like the window blew
out on something. Yeah, and it doesn't mean there will never be another
one, but the one of the reasons, I'll give you a little thing
here on fline so you'll know, because I think it's kind of interesting.
There used to be a real hierarchy of like the pilot was God. He
was God or she was God. And if you are not and you're the
first officer or the engineer, you never questioned the pilot. So you would
get a pilot that would be fucking up basically, and you would not tell
the pilot I don't think we should do that or that's wrong, or ever
like grab the you know, the the throttle or whatever from the pilot.
You would basically let the pilot just do whatever, do whatever. Yeah,
And pilots are human, uh, And there's been so many where it's like,
are you sure we're ready to go? Are you sure we're good to
go? And they're like, oh, yeah, we're fine, and then
they would go and then the pilot would kill everybody on. So now they've
had a shift in the way of thinking in the last twenty or thirty years
where even if you're like the you know, second officer on the flight,
you should question the pilot if you think they're doing something wrong. There's like
a checks and balances system. Yeah, and it used to not be that
way. And there were several instances where they let the pilot do whatever and
they all died even though they knew that he was doing something wrong. And
how do they know this because there's a cockpit voice recorder. Yeah, I
was gonna say, how did they all die? And then how did they
say? Hey, he didn't listen to me, right exactly. So there
was a cock pit voice recorder that would record all the dialogue in the cockpit
and on the radio, and there were several instances where, without getting too
specific, where they'd be like, do you really think we should do that?
Oh? Yeah, it's fine. Are we cleared? Is the runway
clear? Oh yeah, it's fine, And then we'd take off and they
literally hit another plane they couldn't see in the fog because whatever. So yeah,
so filet flying is a whole lot safer. I've never really had a
scary moment or a close call. When I was a student, I was
flying to Fergus Falls and it was over SOT Center and my engine sputtered,
and I thought the first thing I thought was this is how I'm going to
die. That was my first thought. And it sputtered and then it came
back to life, so it was no big deal. But for a minute
there I really thought, oh shit. So not really a close call,
but the closest I've come to a close call engine cuts out is are you
like dead for sure? Or can you like slowly float to the ground.
You can slow float to the ground. There's actually something called best glide speed
that we pilots have to memorize. So if the engine goes out, they
say, the first thing that you do is fly the airplane. So don't
panic. You will, but don't panic. Don't start like playing around with
all the equipment. Don't start trying to whatever. Fly the airplane. Because
you are dicking around inside the cockpit trying to restart it, you look up
and you're like crashing into a field or whatever. So fly the airplane.
But then they call it best glide speed. And every airplane has its speed
that it glides the farthest. Okay, so in my little airplane it might
be sixty seven miles per hour. So I'll get it to sixty seven miles
an hour. Now I can glide for a really long way. I look
for a field over there or a road, and then I go, oh,
I'll land in that farmer's field. Do you like, is there a
way to like tell someone that you're gonna land in a space that no one's
expecting a plane to be in. Good question, Bailey. Yeah. The
rule is aviate, navigate, and communicate. So in other words, aviate.
The first thing you do is fly the plane, navigate, look for
a place to land, and then when you have time, if you have
time, then you communicate and you say, hey, this is two four,
three, six November and we're going down. We're going down. So
yeah, you can call them and you can say, hey, I'm four
miles west of Hutchinson. Yeah, and so they know where to find the
plume of smoke. Jez oh. And then I rent a lot of people
low on airplanes. I rent because then at the end of the day,
when I'm done, I hand them the keys and I say I'll see you
next time. I think a lot of people have that misconception that you have
your own plane since you go to Colorado, because I used to think that
you flew yourself to Colorado every time you went there. I had no idea.
I'm not. I thought the same thing for a long time. Yeah,
a lot of people do. No. I just fly commercial, and
it would take a long day to fly to Colorado, and a lot of
the time the weather is not clear all the way from here to Colorado,
and I can't fly in anything but moderately clear way. Are you only licensed
to fly in Minnesota? Oh? No, I can fly anywhere. Well,
I just don't ever hear you saying that you fly in Colorado, is
they're not some more close. I have flown in Colorado. But it's a
process. So when you go to a place they're not familiar with you,
you have to check out with an instructor and go up with an instructor and
they fly for an hour and make sure you're competent, and then you get
to sign out all the paperwork. But when I go to where I go
now Thunderbird, they know me, and I come in, I sign in,
and I get in the plane and I go. So but yeah,
I can fly in other states too. Okay, here's one about the podcast.
It says, hello from Chelsea. I'm writing in response to the person
that wrote in the other day about the podcast not playing in order. I
have the same issue, and it must be for Apple podcasts. That's where
I listen. If you play an episodisode once it ends, it will automatically
play the episode posted after that. So let's say I play the six am
episode from Monday, it will next play the nine am episode from Tuesday,
then eight am from Tuesday, so it's backwards. However, you can sort
and add to your queue to get them in order. So I see how
it's confusing. I also like when the show was posted in one chunk rather
than hour by hour. Still love you guys, though, and we'll listen
no matter how it's posted from Chelsea. Any updates on that, I mean,
if it does it that way in Apple, then that's I'm sorry,
Like, that's just how you're gonna have to deal with it, because iHeart
is the main one that we use, and it works in iHeart that's what
you listen to it, right, really, I hear. So that's just
kind of how it is, unfortunately. I mean, I was just listening
to something on Apple podcast yesterday and as soon as the podcast was done,
it took me to another random like musician I listened to, like it didn't
even go to that same podcast, So I don't understand how Apple works.
Yeah, I don't listen to our podcast, so I don't really know.
But it's always why would I you know, don't you want to relive your
good times? No? No, no, no, I mean I love
the show, but I don't really want to go back and listen to it.
I love the show, but not that well. Next one from Nicole,
She's a She lives in Hayfield, Minnesota. She says, good morning,
Dave and Crew. I wanted to talk about living in a small town
I grow. I grew up in the Twin Cities from when I was to
until last summer when I was thirty eight and I moved to Hayfield. Population
one thousand, three hundred and twenty four. Wow, everybody knows everyone.
We got a bar, little grocery store, gas station, homecoming parades.
Their town festival is next weekend. The town is so small. How small
is it? The elementary, middle school, and high school are all in
one building. Wow. Yes, I will get bored in this small house
town. But Rochester is only about twenty five minutes away, so I'm not
going to go so crazy. I love this community seems to really do watch
out for each other. If someone is in need of something, it sees
the community will jump into help. I feel like my theme song right now
is y'all Life by Walker Hayes. I don't know that song that money there,
but probably like country, it is all right. Last email from Charrase
and she is a regular staff writer. She says, I find myself needing
some advice, and you might remember she's had some you know, like relationship
things and she says she broke up with the younger guy that I was seeing,
and I took your advice, Dave. I've decided I'm not going to
deal with his behavior anymore. He actually sent me a text message trying to
explain his behavior. He said they didn't want the same things. She wants
marriage and kids one day, which I was fine about. He just assumed
that I didn't want these things, and instead of discussing it anyway, I'm
over the whole thing. Here's the problem. He's got some of my shit.
Now I'm paraphrasing, but he's got some of her stuff. And I
said give it back, please, and he said I'm not ready. I
don't know what that means. I don't want to send an angry message demanding
my things back because I don't want him to destroy or throw away anything.
I even offered him a way to return stuff without talking to me or seeing
me, but he didn't take it. I'm at a loss what to do.
I really want my things back, but I don't want to antagonize him.
Any advice would be appreciated, I would. I'm curious, what are
your things? Is it? If it's a hoodie and a smart speaker.
Then I think you might just want to cut your losses and say fuck it.
Yeah, you know, because it sounds like you're a little bit frightened
of his reaction, and you should never be frightened of somebody's reaction, you
know what I mean. So him saying like I'm not ready to give it
back yet, well, I'm ready to get it back, so give me
my stuff. That's totally disrespectful. That's so weird. Are you sleeping with
the sweatshirt? Like why? Yeah, I don't know. And I think
it sounds to me like he's just holding it ransom, like he wants to
somehow still control you. To me, it's like, you know what,
I would block him. I would say keep the shit. Unless it's really
valuable, then I guess you could maybe call the police. I don't know,
but it sounds like if it's not something that you can replace, if
you can replace it, let him have it. I wonder if you could
go get it from him, but bring somebody with you as like okay,
kind of you know, not a shield, but you know, like,
as I guess, just a way to hold him accountable, like he won't
be like, no, you can't leave stay forever. If you have like
somebody with you to also be there, yeah, like bring along a friend
or something like that, saying I'm coming over, I want I'm bringing my
dad, yeah exactly. Or I'm bringing my big friend yeah uh, and
we want my shit back. Yeah. I don't know. It sounds there's
a I'm reading between the lines. I think there's something that she is a
little bit afraid of his reaction because you never know, and you should never
be afraid of your person and the weird way they'd react. Yeah. Also,
it sucks that she feels response for his emotions, which is stupid.
He should have those in check, sir. All right, that is it
for the Minnesota Goodbye. I love your emails. That's what makes the whole
podcast, Bri. You're gonna send out these staff writer stickers which are literally
like four or five months overdue. Come on it. So thank you very
much and we will see you tomorrow here on the Minnesota Goodbye email address.
As always, Ryan Show at kadiwb dot com.
