Speaker 1: Are you ready for another Minnesota goodbye? Of me going on?
Speaker 1: Let's see what else we got here? No, not that one. Okay,
Speaker 1: let's look. I wonder if, when you hear I think
Speaker 1: we brought this up before, if you send in an
Speaker 1: email for Minnesota goodbye, if you're kind of there like
Speaker 1: waiting as you're listening, going ah, they gonna read mine?
Speaker 1: Are are they gonna read mine?
Speaker 2: Are?
Speaker 1: Are they gonna read mine? Have you ever written a
Speaker 1: letter to Okay, I'll give you one like the newspaper.
Speaker 1: Have you ever written a letter to the newspaper? Nobody
Speaker 1: reads newspapers anymore.
Speaker 3: I get that.
Speaker 1: I did, and they printed it and I was like oo,
Speaker 1: and they're us remember, yeah it was. It was actually
Speaker 1: I regret it now. It was really stupid. But but
Speaker 1: I'll tell you this to tell you a story. So
Speaker 1: thirty years ago, there was a little girl named Jessica McClure,
Speaker 1: I think, and she was a six year old girl
Speaker 1: who flew airplanes. And I don't even know if that's
Speaker 1: her name, but she was a little girl, only six,
Speaker 1: six years old, and she flew airplanes, and she was
Speaker 1: going to fly from coast to coast. And it is
Speaker 1: no well, it was. It was all a bunch of
Speaker 1: it was a bunch of horseshit, honestly, because you cannot
Speaker 1: be a pilot, licensed pilot at six years old. But
Speaker 1: her mom and dad loved the idea that their little
Speaker 1: girl would get worldwide press by doing this coast to
Speaker 1: coast flight. So they flew from California with dad in
Speaker 1: the backseat and a qualified flight instructor pilot in the
Speaker 1: front seat doing really most of the flying, and she
Speaker 1: sat up on these little pillows and so the media
Speaker 1: basically chased her across the country. And you know, I
Speaker 1: think about on day two or so, they were in Cheyenne, Wyoming,
Speaker 1: and they were trying to meet media deadlines and because
Speaker 1: they had you know, they're going to land in you know,
Speaker 1: let's say Des Moines later that afternoon, so they needed
Speaker 1: to take off. And Dad was you know, he was
Speaker 1: you know, he was a stupid, foolish person that was
Speaker 1: using his daughter to get fame and notoriety. And mom
Speaker 1: was just as bad. But mom wasn't on the plane. Well,
Speaker 1: they took off in bad weather in Cheyenne to meet
Speaker 1: this deadline, and they crashed when they took off, and
Speaker 1: everybody on the plane died. Oh God, it was terrible.
Speaker 1: But what really made it hard was we had had
Speaker 1: that little girl on the air on the show a
Speaker 1: couple of days before.
Speaker 3: Oh wow.
Speaker 1: And I remember when I read the story, it came
Speaker 1: over across the bulletin. You know, machine, there's a word
Speaker 1: for it, like the wire is what we call it
Speaker 1: in the business. And it came across the wire and
Speaker 1: I looked at it and I just sat down, just
Speaker 1: stunned that this little girl had died. And you can
Speaker 1: look up the story and I can't remember, but I
Speaker 1: think it's jes Jessica McClure, but I'm not sure. And
Speaker 1: it was just tragic, and she should have been in
Speaker 1: that weather and she probably wasn't doing any of the flying,
Speaker 1: and it was all just a bunch of horseshit, honestly
Speaker 1: that mom and dad had set up. And so I
Speaker 1: wrote to the Star Tribune and I said something like, well,
Speaker 1: it's such a sad thing, but at least she died
Speaker 1: doing what she loved. And I look back that and go,
Speaker 1: she didn't have any idea what she was doing. She
Speaker 1: wasn't old enough to know what she was doing. She
Speaker 1: was doing what Mommy and Daddy wanted her to do,
Speaker 1: and she probably thought it was fun, like a carnival ride,
Speaker 1: but she didn't realize that she could die or even
Speaker 1: what danger or death is. So I look back on
Speaker 1: that letter and I'm like, that was stupid that I
Speaker 1: wrote that.
Speaker 4: So wow, that's that's weird because it's like her parents
Speaker 4: were like show parents, you know, like a like the
Speaker 4: dance mom's kind of but instead it risks your life
Speaker 4: when it involves planes and you're up in the sky
Speaker 4: versus you know, standing on a stage doing tap dancing.
Speaker 4: But it's the same kind of vibe of having show
Speaker 4: parents like, oh, well, you're going to do what we
Speaker 4: want you to do, and you're going to do it
Speaker 4: really good.
Speaker 1: And they're all like game that the little kid loves it.
Speaker 1: They all like John Benney Ramsay when she was like
Speaker 1: you know the little lady queen, Yeah, beauty queen. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Mom was like she absolutely loves it. And I don't
Speaker 1: know that I totally disagree or agree with that. There's
Speaker 1: somebody on the roof over there, you guys, you know
Speaker 1: there's somebody on the roof, Like look over there. Oh
Speaker 1: that's crazy. The building over Yeah, they're like fifteen stories up.
Speaker 2: Oh that was the most squirrel thing I've ever seen
Speaker 2: of you. You were fully entranced in your conversation, and
Speaker 2: then your eyes started over and you're.
Speaker 1: Like, oh, there's people on the roof up there. That's
Speaker 1: kind of crazy.
Speaker 2: Really, it's like a it's like a sun.
Speaker 1: Deck though they just went behind the corner there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I can't see it by the kemps sign.
Speaker 3: I'm sure you.
Speaker 2: Listening to the podcast is so entertained.
Speaker 1: Well, let me know whether that that would be an
Speaker 1: interesting discussion dance moms and beauty pageant moms. Yeah, because
Speaker 1: you look at, like, you know, some of these and
Speaker 1: it's like, do these little girls really enjoy it? Maybe
Speaker 1: she's really talented, but is she doing it? Because it
Speaker 1: just makes mom and dad so happy.
Speaker 4: I think they enjoy the love from their parents, whoever
Speaker 4: that show parent may be. Is they get a lot
Speaker 4: of attention when it's like, oh, mommy wants you to
Speaker 4: be the star of the show, and you're a star,
Speaker 4: you have so much talent, Like obviously anyone responds to
Speaker 4: that kind of love.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Can I tell you, guys something I did over the
Speaker 2: weekend that I feel like almost like gave my niece
Speaker 2: a little bit of a complex, and I felt really
Speaker 2: bad about it. So she was like getting ready for
Speaker 2: her birthday party and she kind of just had like
Speaker 2: jeans and a T shirt on, and her birthday party
Speaker 2: was an Easter egg Hunt, and I wasn't sure if
Speaker 2: like she was gonna dress like a little bit nicer
Speaker 2: because it was her birthday party.
Speaker 3: So I asked her.
Speaker 2: I was like, hey, is this what you're wearing for
Speaker 2: your party? I want to get a picture with you
Speaker 2: before everyone starts coming. And she kind of looked at me,
Speaker 2: She's like, well, yeah, why, And I was like, well,
Speaker 2: I just wanted to I didn't know if you were
Speaker 2: maybe changing into something different whatever. And then I realized
Speaker 2: her shirt said like Easter egg Hunt or specific on it.
Speaker 2: But I just like in my mind wasn't really thinking
Speaker 2: like she's going to be running around in dirt, and
Speaker 2: like this makes a lot of sense. I thought, oh,
Speaker 2: it's a birthday party, she might be dressing in like
Speaker 2: a dress or something. But I felt this like kind
Speaker 2: of sadness in her. And then I felt so bad
Speaker 2: that like I maybe gave her the impression that she
Speaker 2: should be wearing something nicer, even though I didn't say that. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but I felt so bad in that moment and just
Speaker 2: doing that to my niece. I don't I don't know
Speaker 2: how parents could like push things on their kids because.
Speaker 3: I felt so bad just doing it that one moment. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I just I don't get that.
Speaker 1: You know, kids are so resilient, but at the same time,
Speaker 1: you never know what is going to stick with a kid.
Speaker 1: In my book, take a shower, show up on time,
Speaker 1: and don't steal anything. I tell the story about my
Speaker 1: grandma who's been gone for forty years or so, and
Speaker 1: grandma when she was a little kid, her mom had
Speaker 1: a friend over to have coffee, and so they're sitting
Speaker 1: there in the living room and my grandma was five,
Speaker 1: and my grandma was showing off like a five year
Speaker 1: old would do, and they love to show off and
Speaker 1: look at me, look at me, look at me. And
Speaker 1: her mother said to my grandma, you be quiet. Nobody
Speaker 1: wants to hear what you have to say. And that
Speaker 1: stuck with my grandma her entire life. And she was
Speaker 1: very shy because her mother hadn't planted in her mind
Speaker 1: at five, you be quiet, nobody wants to hear what
Speaker 1: you have to say, that's so sad. Yeah, So you
Speaker 1: never know what your kids are going to remember. But
Speaker 1: I remember, like when I broke Carson's recorder over my knee.
Speaker 1: He doesn't remember it. Yeah, so that didn't affect him.
Speaker 3: But who remembers other stuff? Yeah?
Speaker 1: And hopefully they remember the positive stuff like oh, you're
Speaker 1: so smart, I'm so proud of you, but they probably
Speaker 1: I wonder if we tend to remember the negative stuff more.
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm sure my mom says a lot of
Speaker 4: nice things to me, but I only remember the mean
Speaker 4: things that she said to me growing up.
Speaker 3: So but I'm sure she doesn't.
Speaker 1: They say, the axe forgets, but the tree remembers. You
Speaker 1: never heard that before. The axe forgets, but the tree remembers.
Speaker 1: And an example is like when Susan was little, she
Speaker 1: had two older brothers that used to mercilessly pick on
Speaker 1: her and they called her fubs, which was part fat
Speaker 1: and part chubby, and they called her Fubbs, and she
Speaker 1: a few years ago, she said, do you remember that?
Speaker 1: And they're both like, I don't remember that at all.
Speaker 1: That was us. Yeah, So the axe forgets, but the
Speaker 1: tree remembers. Here we go with an email Abanda, riid
Speaker 1: Sand Hello All, in response to Monday Show Dave you
Speaker 1: Gotta get an e bike? My husband and I bought
Speaker 1: a pair last spring and we've had a blast with them.
Speaker 1: There's so many trails and places to ride. You can
Speaker 1: turn off the electric assistant pedal on your own, kick
Speaker 1: it up and notch for a little boost, or crank
Speaker 1: that bitch all the way up and cruise without pedaling
Speaker 1: it all. They're especially great for those long, flat stretches
Speaker 1: when you want to give your legs a break. We
Speaker 1: can easily ride twenty five or thirty miles and it
Speaker 1: feels effortless. We first tried them out at a bike
Speaker 1: shop in still Water. There's a lot of places that
Speaker 1: rent them if you want to test one out before committing.
Speaker 1: Since they're not cheap, Biking across both bridges and still
Speaker 1: Water on an e bike makes for a fun afternoon.
Speaker 1: Plus there's some amazing scenic trails along the river. Take
Speaker 1: Care Dart Liquors, BFF, Amanda. You know, my only hesitation
Speaker 1: is I don't want to use time that I should
Speaker 1: be exercising to be not exercising.
Speaker 2: You know what I mean, Biden is still exercise A
Speaker 2: little bit, no you can. I mean the guy from
Speaker 2: Eric's even called like a lot of I think he didn't.
Speaker 2: He say the one he does is like you have
Speaker 2: to pedal to get like the motor to even work
Speaker 2: to be able to.
Speaker 3: Go, so you're still pedaling.
Speaker 4: It's because he said that there are some that are
Speaker 4: that you still pedal and then the motor just makes
Speaker 4: you go further, versus the ones where you can stop
Speaker 4: pedaling and then the motor just goes on its own.
Speaker 4: Just go for the one that actually requires more effort,
Speaker 4: he said it.
Speaker 3: Listen back, Okay, how do that?
Speaker 1: If you missed it. He was on the show Monday
Speaker 1: at about nine thirty five or so, and it was
Speaker 1: actually Eric from Eric'spike Shop. Yeah, because a friend of
Speaker 1: his was listening and said, Eric, they're talking about John KTWB.
Speaker 1: It was very informative. Check it out. Here's an email.
Speaker 1: It says, Hello, I was listening to the Friday Show
Speaker 1: and I couldn't stop laughing about the weird Kids segment.
Speaker 1: My daughter has autism spectrum disorder level one, previously diagnosed
Speaker 1: as Asperger's and I totally see how some of her
Speaker 1: quirks may make her the weird kid. I'm very excited
Speaker 1: to see how her weird kin tendencies flourish. Our family
Speaker 1: loves to find the humor in things, and boy does
Speaker 1: she bring us the humor. The things my kid does
Speaker 1: makes me laugh so much. She met you guys at
Speaker 1: Dave and Busters and her pj's because of her PJ phase.
Speaker 1: You should have seen how she actually wanted to meet you.
Speaker 1: I'll attach a photo. She wanted to wear a pink
Speaker 1: robe and her pink helmet to match the ensemble. I
Speaker 1: had her leave her accessories in the car. I love
Speaker 1: how Bailey kept saying the weird kids were her friends.
Speaker 1: I love the weird kids and if they got some
Speaker 1: occupational therapy, they can learn what is socially acceptable and
Speaker 1: be able to choose how to present themselves. Anyway, keep
Speaker 1: up the hilarious content. I will say, I just glanced
Speaker 1: at the picture that you sent from Dave and Busters
Speaker 1: and the picture of your daughter in her pink bathrobe
Speaker 1: and her pink bike helmet, and that is adorable and
Speaker 1: it makes me smile, so thank you for sending that one.
Speaker 3: We love the color pink and I love that your
Speaker 3: kid is weird. Weird kids are the best.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Stephanie for sending that along. Next one, Okay,
Speaker 1: hold on, I want to see whether there's something. This
Speaker 1: is the part where Dave is like, hmmm.
Speaker 3: Un this, I'm going to try to sup super Yeah.

Speaker 1: they are a massage therapist and they want to give
Speaker 1: you a massage. And his name is Larry. He's sixty
Speaker 1: four years old. He's not a therapist, but he just
Speaker 1: wants to give you a massage. Okay, is it naked

Speaker 1: to find a night shift job so I can work
Speaker 1: it out with a wife with a babysitting starting a
Speaker 1: new job kind of sucks, especially when you don't know anybody.

Speaker 1: twenty Minnesota goodbye staff riders, But I wanted to let
Speaker 1: you know that I'm out here still and listening. That's
Speaker 1: from Chow Chow. We still love you. It's okay. You
Speaker 1: had a great excuse a baby, babe, so I think
Speaker 1: you're good.
Speaker 4: I hope your baby is very cute and squishy, squishy, squishy,
Speaker 4: I mean, a squishy baby is better than not a
Speaker 4: squishy baby.
Speaker 1: Well, I guess you don't want a bony baby.
Speaker 4: Right, yeah, seeks frat baby chunk baby.
Speaker 1: Ever, when they're laying on their back, you take their
Speaker 1: fat little legs and you make a bicycle motion.
Speaker 3: Whether then they fart? Yeah, don't it doesn't that make
Speaker 3: them fart?
Speaker 1: Well, it doesn't make them fart.

Speaker 1: Are you being serious?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, work for me. Oh it surprises me.
Speaker 1: I've got the two granddaughters, they're four and two. It
Speaker 1: surprises me how loudly they fart. Oh yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: it's like they're tiny little humans and I'm like, what
Speaker 1: the ava I touted, Yeah, yeah you did all right.
Speaker 1: That is going to wrap it up for the men
Speaker 1: and soda goodbye. Let us know about dance moms, but
Speaker 1: also not just dance moms, but dance like sports moms
Speaker 1: and sports dads and things like that. I didn't come
Speaker 1: from a sport family. We were just not. My dad
Speaker 1: didn't like sports. He was very bitter because the athletes
Speaker 1: in college got all the breaks, and they got the
Speaker 1: good grades and they didn't have to come to class.
Speaker 1: And this was way back in the day when it
Speaker 1: was probably way worse than it is now. So if
Speaker 1: you played on the football team or the baseball team
Speaker 1: or whatever, you didn't have to come to class. You
Speaker 1: just got an a just for being on the football
Speaker 1: I don't know all of that. So we're not a
Speaker 1: sports family. But if there's so many sports families. I
Speaker 1: was talking to well in our meeting yesterday. Yeah, one
Speaker 1: of the guys Pat that works here, didn't he say
Speaker 1: something like, yeah, it's sport volleyball at toured baseball, traveling
Speaker 1: soccer season.
Speaker 2: They've got two kids in sports, and so basically one
Speaker 2: parent takes one to one traveling sport on the weekend
Speaker 2: and the other one goes to the other and then
Speaker 2: they have Sunday dinner together and that's when they all
Speaker 2: see each other. It's how it like, there was yeah
Speaker 2: going and that sounds so exhausting.
Speaker 1: It sounds awful. It sounds awful, But I know that
Speaker 1: people really enjoy it. I know some hockey families, and
Speaker 1: to me, it sounds is like, oh, we're going to
Speaker 1: Fargo for the weekend. We get there Thursday afternoon, we
Speaker 1: don't get home until probably two o'clock in the morning
Speaker 1: on Monday. Fucking horrible. Yeah, sounds awful, But they love it.
Speaker 1: It's their culture. And they get drunk in each other's hotel.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they all all the parents just get together and
Speaker 2: like drink and then like have to go hung over
Speaker 2: to their kids game at eight in the morning.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So if you know anything about that, But here's
Speaker 1: my question, do your kids really enjoy it? Or if
Speaker 1: you were from a sports fan family and you had
Speaker 1: to get up and get ice time at five point
Speaker 1: thirty in the morning because mom wanted you to be
Speaker 1: like the best hockey hockey player that you could be,
Speaker 1: did you like it or were you're like, oh god,
Speaker 1: I hate feeling this pressure. Let me tell me your story.
Speaker 1: Send your email to Ryan's show at KDWB dot com.
Speaker 1: Thank you for listening to the Minnesota Goodbye.
