Speaker 1: And here we go with the Minnesota Goodbye. Kind of
Speaker 1: a fun email to start it off, and says, don't
Speaker 1: say my name, but I'm not sure why, But here
Speaker 1: we go right and in to say I love the podcast.
Speaker 1: I listen to it every day on my way home
Speaker 1: from work. I wonder what it's like when you realize
Speaker 1: that the morning show is reading your Minnesota Goodbye email.
Speaker 1: It's like, does it take a second to recognize.
Speaker 2: Like, oh my gosh, that's me.
Speaker 1: Well, you'll recognize this if you wrote it. Now here
Speaker 1: is some content for you. You are in charge of creating
Speaker 1: your own summer music festival. Which four artists or bands
Speaker 1: would be in the lineup? Now, they can be dead
Speaker 1: or alive. For example, my concert opener would be the
Speaker 1: young version of Justin Bieber. Now I like that because
Speaker 1: it's not Justin Bieber at thirty or thirty two. It's
Speaker 1: Justin Bieber at like fourteen, followed with one direction credence
Speaker 1: clear Water Revival, and the headliner would be the old
Speaker 1: one and only Kelly Clarkson. Also, you can have two
Speaker 1: food vendors at your summer concert festival. What are the
Speaker 1: two food vendors that people will be lined up to
Speaker 1: eat tacos, minie donuts, eros burgers, barbecue, ice cream, popcorn,
Speaker 1: et cetera. Remember these are vendors that you should be
Speaker 1: your must haves at festivals. Don't think about what other
Speaker 1: people would want. Hope this give you something to talk about.
Speaker 1: Love you, guys, and I won't say your name. It's
Speaker 1: an odd request because you didn't divulge any personal information.
Speaker 1: But maybe they just don't want to, so we respect that. Jenny,
Speaker 1: You're going first, give me your four And here's a
Speaker 1: rule on this one. You can change your mind, so
Speaker 1: if later you go, oh, I say that one, so
Speaker 1: don't think too hard about it.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: First would be the headliner would hands down be Spice Girls,
Speaker 3: just because that was my generation and it's a group.
Speaker 3: I would love to see you someday in my life,
Speaker 3: but it probably will never happen. Next, we're going to
Speaker 3: go with some EDM kind of style band because it's
Speaker 3: a music festival in the summer and that's just my vibe,
Speaker 3: So I'd go Diplo. Next, I would go my favorite artist,
Speaker 3: which is probably The Weekend currently, even though after that
Speaker 3: one show he was on, I kind of like don't
Speaker 3: feel like I like him as much anymore. That weird
Speaker 3: HBO show.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that was weird.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: And my last I'm going to go old school a
Speaker 3: little bit and have deaf Leppard there, but like the
Speaker 3: prime current deaf Leppard. So those would be my four.
Speaker 3: And as far as food goes, I would have a
Speaker 3: tackle truck and then I would have an ice cream
Speaker 3: truck because you got to have something cold or sweet
Speaker 3: or something and I love ice cream.
Speaker 1: Okay, Bailey, Okay.
Speaker 2: So I have these two bands that I really liked
Speaker 2: in middle school. They're British. They're called Busted and McFly.
Speaker 2: They would definitely be playing there. I saw Busted when
Speaker 2: I went to London last year, and I've never seen
Speaker 2: McFly and I would love to. I would die if
Speaker 2: I saw them. That would be great. Then Chapel Roan
Speaker 2: obviously I love her so much and I've never seen
Speaker 2: her live. And then Elvis would be my main my
Speaker 2: main stage show. Would be great to see him do
Speaker 2: anything for food. Also street tacos and like a boba,
Speaker 2: like a Boba tea one because we're gonna be thirsty
Speaker 2: when we're eating our street tacos.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I'm having more trouble with food than
Speaker 1: I am the axe. My acts are pretty easy. I
Speaker 1: have Kiss the Beatles, cold Play, and Duran Duran, And
Speaker 1: if I thought about it harder, I'd probably come up
Speaker 1: with somebody New, somebody else. But that's what I got
Speaker 1: for now. But the food truck part is harder for me.
Speaker 1: I do like your idea Bobo te because that sounds good,
Speaker 1: it's fun, it's got the little things on the I
Speaker 1: really like those. But as far as the other food,
Speaker 1: pizza is not a festival food. It's really not. So
Speaker 1: I'm going to say an Asian place like Asian you
Speaker 1: know whatever was Yeah, one tons, egg rolls, Yeah, chicken wings, that.
Speaker 2: Type of things. I like that one, Thank you my
Speaker 2: festival existed.
Speaker 1: That was fun. Next one, I like this one too. Greetings,
Speaker 1: and we can actually use this one on the show,
Speaker 1: so I might forward it to you. Yesterday's podcast, Dave
Speaker 1: was stayed in his Apple. Dave was dayed in his
Speaker 1: Apple Towards this time of the year, I'm right there
Speaker 1: with you. So I bought a monthly bucket list calendar
Speaker 1: to do more things that bring simple joy to me
Speaker 1: in my space. I bought one on TikTok shop for
Speaker 1: five bucks. Here are the items for January in case
Speaker 1: you or any listeners want to partake as well, in
Speaker 1: no particular order. Learn to fold a paper crane hmmm, okay, fine.
Speaker 1: Make a suncatcher. That's that thing that hangs in the window.
Speaker 1: Or is that a DreamCatcher. No, a suncatcher is like
Speaker 1: a crystally lash.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that would be nice because then the light from outside,
Speaker 2: would you know. Make dancy rainbows on your walls.
Speaker 1: Right yeah. Tidy your room for the new year. Make
Speaker 1: a fort with blankets okay, fun frame some of last
Speaker 1: year's photographs. Make a star garland, grow a new houseplant,
Speaker 1: reread a favorite book. These are all things to bring
Speaker 1: you a little bit of joy during the month in January.
Speaker 1: Take a brisk morning walk, make clay fridge magnets, send
Speaker 1: someone a handwritten letter. Thrift a new mug or old cup.
Speaker 1: That means go to the thrift store and.
Speaker 2: Get an old mug, but it will get something different.
Speaker 1: Gift flowers to yourself. Start a my Favorite Part of
Speaker 1: Today journal, and fill your home with cozy lights. While yes,
Speaker 1: some items on the list are juvenile, when did we
Speaker 1: get so serious as a society? My Saturday plans with
Speaker 1: my husband, and this is tomorrow is to pick up
Speaker 1: a new house plant thrift, a mug and build a
Speaker 1: fort in our living room while watching to us a
Speaker 1: new to Us indie psychological thriller. Sometimes the happiest moments
Speaker 1: in life are simplistic and childlike. I hope this Lives
Speaker 1: gives somebody a little joy in the monotony and gray
Speaker 1: cheers from Kayley. Kayley, I love that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's cool.
Speaker 1: We should maybe talk about that on Monday as well,
Speaker 1: because I really like that. When I'm going to forward
Speaker 1: it to Jenny.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I like that she's doing She's tackling more
Speaker 2: than one at any given time.
Speaker 3: So that's actually like for one month, a lot of
Speaker 3: good ideas. Yeah, every month, right that she gets new
Speaker 3: ones for it sounds like.
Speaker 1: It, yeah, yeah, and yeah it says that was January suggestions.
Speaker 2: That's like doing an activity every day that we talked
Speaker 2: about yesterday, like you got to do an activity to
Speaker 2: make your mundane life not so mundane.
Speaker 1: I got out my ukulele yesterday and I played for
Speaker 1: probably an hour, and it really was I just really
Speaker 1: enjoyed it, because when you're playing the ukulele or whatever,
Speaker 1: you get really mentally involved in all your other troubles
Speaker 1: kind of fall away. You don't think about.
Speaker 2: Right because you're focused on that one thing.
Speaker 1: I've noticed the same thing with jigsaw puzzles. Back during
Speaker 1: the pandemic, everybody did jigsaw puzzles. And the thing I
Speaker 1: noticed about puzzles is while you're doing them, it's hard
Speaker 1: to think of all the crap that's.
Speaker 2: Going on in your life because you're busy trying to
Speaker 2: think about which piece goes well.
Speaker 1: You're a different part of your brain is working. Good morning.
Speaker 1: This is genuine curiosity. I understand that you have to
Speaker 1: drop callers that swear when they are on the air.
Speaker 1: I've also noticed occasionally a swear word comes out when
Speaker 1: you guys tell a story and it's not bleeped. Why
Speaker 1: is that? Do you have to drop people because they're
Speaker 1: trying not to encourage you're trying not to encourage swearing
Speaker 1: or are there weird rules you guys have about swearing
Speaker 1: versus callers. I'm not shaming because I don't care about swearing.
Speaker 1: It's just something I noticed. I'm curious to know why, Jenny,
Speaker 1: do you want to take this one?
Speaker 3: Well, we are allowed to swear and say bitch and
Speaker 3: ass on the radio. We can't say ass whole though.
Speaker 3: We definitely can't say shit, fuck anything like that. So
Speaker 3: if a lot of times shit is the one that
Speaker 3: comes out from listeners, that is not allowed, we have
Speaker 3: to drop that. We are allowed to say a few
Speaker 3: different ones, and a listener could say ass or bitch
Speaker 3: too if they really wanted to, we wouldn't drop that.
Speaker 3: But if we accidentally like sort of slip and be like, well,
Speaker 3: I don't give a foot and it sounds like we're
Speaker 3: saying fuck, it's not really like, I don't know, droppable.
Speaker 3: I think we can kind of get away with it
Speaker 3: because it's happened to all of us before we start
Speaker 3: saying something and the full word doesn't come out. But also,
Speaker 3: if you're listening on the iHeart app, you're gonna hear
Speaker 3: it in live time. It doesn't drop on the iHeart app.
Speaker 1: Right, there's no drop button on the iHeart app, and
Speaker 1: it's different, and the reason is because it's not over
Speaker 1: the public airwaves. The iHeart app is something that you
Speaker 1: purposely deliberately download and listen to, so it's not controlled
Speaker 1: by the FCC. That's why we can swear on the
Speaker 1: Minnesota goodbye because it's not over the air. But we
Speaker 1: can't say you know, fuck or shit or whatever on
Speaker 1: the radio because that's over the public airways and there's
Speaker 1: like decency laws blah blah blah. But on the podcast,
Speaker 1: you can, you know.
Speaker 2: Do whatever you want.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay. Next one from Liz. Liz is a frequent
Speaker 1: contributor and supporter of the show Morning All Happy New Year.
Speaker 1: Wanted to write in when Dave asked about bad flights
Speaker 1: because we were talking about bad flights. It came up
Speaker 1: on the show yesterday, I think ye. I was flying
Speaker 1: into Poland to meet my husband and it was really foggy,
Speaker 1: similar to what we had the last few days. My
Speaker 1: pilot said, I'm going to see if I can land
Speaker 1: because a couple of other planes were able to get in.
Speaker 1: Fog can be a problem because if there has to
Speaker 1: be they call them minimums. So if it's like a
Speaker 1: two miles visibility in fog, that's probably okay. But sometimes
Speaker 1: fog can be so thick that it's like, you know,
Speaker 1: a two hundred yard visibility. Oh, then you really can't land.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So they said they heard some other planes were able
Speaker 1: to get in and said we're going to see if
Speaker 1: we can do it. If not, we're going to do
Speaker 1: a go around, and not to worry. Anyway. We did
Speaker 1: the go around and holding pattern for a few loops
Speaker 1: and we couldn't get in, so we had to bust.
Speaker 1: So we had to fly to another airport and buses
Speaker 1: to the airport. They said the pilot was great and calming.
Speaker 1: The fog was so thick when we got to the
Speaker 1: airport we could barely see the lights at the airport,
Speaker 1: So that would be kind of a scary thing. But
Speaker 1: today airplanes are like modern airplanes. They can land in
Speaker 1: almost anything, but they've got to get down low enough
Speaker 1: so they can see the runway. So you got to
Speaker 1: get down to a point where you can see the runway,
Speaker 1: and if they don't, they call it a mist approach
Speaker 1: or a go around. So sometimes this happened. It scares
Speaker 1: the shit out of people. You're about to land. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you hear the planes revving down, the engines revving down,
Speaker 1: and you're about to touch down. All of a sudden,
Speaker 1: they gun it. Your head goes back in your seat
Speaker 1: and they're taking off again, and it's called to go around,
Speaker 1: and they do that for many reasons. There could be
Speaker 1: something as simple as a deer on the runway. There
Speaker 1: could be another plane that hasn't quite cleared the runway,
Speaker 1: or it could be just like, okay, it's too foggy,
Speaker 1: we can't land. Yeah, So if that ever happens to you,
Speaker 1: don't panic. It doesn't mean anything. It's actually a good
Speaker 1: thing because the pilot has shown good judgment and going
Speaker 1: around rather than risk hitting the deer or the other end.
Speaker 2: Just assume that there were villains on the runway and
Speaker 2: that they were kin to come and get up. Yeah, villains,
Speaker 2: So that's why they had to quick quick back in
Speaker 2: the air.
Speaker 1: No, he here's a funny one. Don't use my name.
Speaker 1: I was listening to an old Minnesota Goodbye. You're talking
Speaker 1: about Booty Cruise and how you used to post pictures
Speaker 1: to the website after and I just had to share
Speaker 1: a story. And so here is the story. Many years ago,
Speaker 1: I worked with the staff of about fifteen people. The
Speaker 1: day before Booty Cruise, one of my evening staffs said, Hey,
Speaker 1: can I get tomorrow off because I won Booty Cruise tickets.
Speaker 1: I said, God, it's kind of last minute, so you
Speaker 1: only can get it off if you find somebody to
Speaker 1: cover your shift. She couldn't find anybody, so I said, well,
Speaker 1: you can't find anybody, you got to come to work
Speaker 1: the next day. The next day comes and guess who
Speaker 1: calls in saying she's super sick. Our evening shift had
Speaker 1: minimal staffing already, so how about somebody call in sick
Speaker 1: got the entire team behind on their work. I spoke
Speaker 1: to HR. There wasn't much we could do to prove
Speaker 1: that she wasn't sick, so it seemed to like a
Speaker 1: dead issue. Friday morning comes and I'm listening to the
Speaker 1: Dave Ryan Show about how great Booty Cruise was, and
Speaker 1: there's pictures posted on the website. Sitting at my desk,
Speaker 1: I decided to scroll through the Booty Cruise photos and
Speaker 1: what do I find? A picture of my sick employee
Speaker 1: flashing the camera roun. Yeah, girl, you would blurred out
Speaker 1: the naughty bits, but there was no mistaking it was her.
Speaker 1: We couldn't believe that she'd done something so blatantly stupid,
Speaker 1: but she was clearly drunk and probably wasn't even thinking.
Speaker 1: That's all we needed. The picture was sent to HR
Speaker 1: and she was fired for lying about being sick. That's
Speaker 1: the first time I've ever heard about somebody getting fired
Speaker 1: for lying about being not going to work for Booty Cruise.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 1: That is my only Booty Cruise memory because I never attended.
Speaker 1: But thank you providing the evidence we needed to get
Speaker 1: rid of somebody who honestly was a crap employee to
Speaker 1: start with. Love y'all so much. If there's any staff
Speaker 1: Rider stickers, I'd love to add one to my mini fridge. Yes,
Speaker 1: I still have a sticker collection as an adult. I
Speaker 1: appreciate you keeping me entertained every single day. Thank you,
Speaker 1: and I won't say your name. It's funny because when
Speaker 1: people would board Booty Cruise, they had to sign a
Speaker 1: release that's say, hey, we might take your picture and
Speaker 1: it might end up on our website, and people would
Speaker 1: gladly sign it because they were thinking, well, I'm not
Speaker 1: going to do anything stupid or embarrassing, and then almost invariably,
Speaker 1: the next morning, we would post a picture of somebody
Speaker 1: who's like, oh God, I'm a kindergarten teacher and you
Speaker 1: got a picture of me on his tripper's lap. Can
Speaker 1: you take it down? Nope, Well we know we would.
Speaker 2: I'm like, technically you signed something.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because you know, but at the same time, it's like,
Speaker 1: you know what, you went out to have fun, you
Speaker 1: did something stupid, let's take it down. Yeah, so that
Speaker 1: was very common. I miss Booty Cruise, but I don't
Speaker 1: and I miss it. I think I miss it more
Speaker 1: than don't miss it. But I think one of the
Speaker 1: things I love about Booty Cruise is the i'll say
Speaker 1: cultural impact because it was such a huge thing with KTWB.
Speaker 1: We did it at the one point three times a
Speaker 1: summer and people loved it and they would pack the
Speaker 1: boat and I think it gave so many people so
Speaker 1: many fun memories over the fifteen years or so that
Speaker 1: we did it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought it was fun. I went on it
Speaker 2: three times.
Speaker 1: Tell me about your Booty Cruise experience.
Speaker 2: Well, one of them I don't really remember. I don't
Speaker 2: know why, just because it wasn't memorable. One I went
Speaker 2: with my friend Katie Cap and Jamie and we had
Speaker 2: I don't know, good time. We just were kind of
Speaker 2: hanging out. And then once I went with my mom
Speaker 2: and I got super intoxicated and all I remember from
Speaker 2: that evening is on drive home I had to tell
Speaker 2: her to pull over on the side of the highway
Speaker 2: so I could throw up. So that was so fun.
Speaker 2: I just remember the strippers were ugly. There was like
Speaker 2: always one hot hot stripper, so all of the women
Speaker 2: were just on that one hot stripper. The food was
Speaker 2: meat balls, that's what I remember. I remember one time
Speaker 2: asking Steve to buy me a drink and he said yes,
Speaker 2: handed it to me and then turned away, So.
Speaker 1: Oh, really, yeah, okay, he bought you a drink then
Speaker 1: turned away.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then he's like, okay, here you go, and
Speaker 2: then started talking to some other people. So I was like, okay, bye,
Speaker 2: but he bought me a drink. So that was my
Speaker 2: only Steve interaction. Okay, I think I talked to you
Speaker 2: a couple of times, but likely.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I've got so many memories of Booty Cruise. I've
Speaker 1: told the stories so many times that I won't bore
Speaker 1: you with them again. But I think the one where
Speaker 1: I tried to break up a fight was a good one.
Speaker 2: Did you get punched?
Speaker 1: I somehow got struck. I don't know if I got punched,
Speaker 1: but I definitely got struck.
Speaker 2: I was struck.
Speaker 1: And then there was one that was there was the
Speaker 1: girls would so the guys there's no guys allowed on
Speaker 1: Booty Cruise, so the guys would pull up in their
Speaker 1: bass boats next to the boat because the women would
Speaker 1: flash the guys from the top decks of the booty cruise.
Speaker 1: And then there was one guy who pulled down his
Speaker 1: pants and almost like out of a movie, as soon
Speaker 1: as he pulled his pants, here comes the share of
Speaker 1: like Washington County sheriff patrol on a boat with their
Speaker 1: lights flashing. And I felt bad for the guy because
Speaker 1: he was just having fun and doing what the women
Speaker 1: did basically, and he had to sit there while everybody
Speaker 1: on the boat laughed at him while they got sided.
Speaker 2: Poor guy.
Speaker 3: Those sheriffs were waiting. They just knew something bad could
Speaker 3: happen if they knew Booty Cruise was all.
Speaker 1: They had their They had like extra patrols out for
Speaker 1: Booty Cruise.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a lot of Booty Cruise stories. But anyway,
Speaker 1: that's all the time we have for the Minnesota Goodbye today.
Speaker 1: That was fun. Send more emails. We love your emails,
Speaker 1: that's the heart of the show. Send them to Ryan's
Speaker 1: show at KADWB dot com.
