Speaker 1: I was on vacation last week and I was going
Speaker 1: to listen to the Minnesota Goodbye, but then I thought,
Speaker 1: na two thanks number one. I couldn't figure out how
Speaker 1: to bluetooth. I mean, I know how a bluetooth my
Speaker 1: phone to my car, but I had a rental car
Speaker 1: and it's like not pairing, not pairing whatever. So then
Speaker 1: I thought, maybe it's a message. Because I really try
Speaker 1: not to listen to work stuff or really even check
Speaker 1: work email when I'm gone, because it's just too easy
Speaker 1: to get like, I don't know, sucked into work when
Speaker 1: you're on vacation. What I missed on the Minnesota Goodbye
Speaker 1: last week? Any themes, any good stuff come up? Oh man,
Speaker 1: have any naughty Tuesdays last week?
Speaker 2: It's hard and we didn't have any naughty Tuesdays. It's
Speaker 2: really hard to think back on that because that was like,
Speaker 2: we only went till Wednesday last week. So now you're
Speaker 2: asking me almost a week ago, so we talked about
Speaker 2: and my brain is mush right now.
Speaker 1: It's okay, here's an email that this has come up.
Speaker 1: I think a couple of times Dave and Gang longtime
Speaker 1: listeners since I moved to the cities in six. I
Speaker 1: listened to the show and after the show podcast on
Speaker 1: iHeart after the fact due to work, okay, but listen
Speaker 1: to Dave talk about his pups prints and getting a tattoo.
Speaker 1: I wrote in a month ago or so about my
Speaker 1: boy Benji. You read it both on the show in
Speaker 1: the Minnesota goodbye. Honestly, I shared it with my entire family.
Speaker 1: Benji got his few minutes of fame, and I cannot
Speaker 1: talk you to thank you all enough. It truly made
Speaker 1: my freaking year. Anyway, when Benji got sick, my sister
Speaker 1: gifted me with a no mess ink pad. I took
Speaker 1: my boy's prints before he was super sick. I ended
Speaker 1: up getting his little print tatted on my wrist and forearm.
Speaker 1: My next tattoo will be a portrait of my boy.
Speaker 1: Also after they passed. Most vets will do a pawprint
Speaker 1: in some dog like stuff for a keepsake. It's so
Speaker 1: special extra pick of my boys. Earn h, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: get teared up. This is not the first person who
Speaker 1: has recommended this. I think a listener wrote in a
Speaker 1: month or so ago when I was talking about Josie
Speaker 1: and because she's fifteen almost sixteen, and she is really
Speaker 1: slowing down, And they said, and I ordered it. I did.
Speaker 1: I bought the paw print, the the no ink pawprint
Speaker 1: where you bush basically put their paw on it and
Speaker 1: it transferred it to a piece of paper. So I
Speaker 1: do have that one. And I probably will set an
Speaker 1: appointment to get a tattoo in the next couple of
Speaker 1: weeks because I want to get it before she's gone. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so she can see it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's so sweet.
Speaker 1: She You know what's weird, Jenny is you know you
Speaker 1: see all these videos on Instagram of like this is
Speaker 1: the owner being reunited with their dog after two weeks,
Speaker 1: or the owner gets home from work and the dog
Speaker 1: is so excited. Josie was at the kennel for about
Speaker 1: from Friday to yesterday, so I mean that's like a
Speaker 1: week and a couple of days. And so Susan went
Speaker 1: to get her, and I really expected that when she
Speaker 1: got out of the car and saw me, she would
Speaker 1: run to me in wagertail and be so happy. No,
Speaker 1: she really didn't care. And it was really weird.
Speaker 2: Not that she didn't care, she's just getting older.
Speaker 1: She just really kind of gave me no attention at all.
Speaker 1: It was weird because this is the dog that used
Speaker 1: to wait for me at the bottom of the stairs
Speaker 1: every Saturday and Sunday morning, and when she'd see me
Speaker 1: come out of the bedroom, she would like get excited
Speaker 1: and spin in circles. And this time she really was
Speaker 1: just kind of like confused. But what I did do
Speaker 1: is I picked her up, and I held her on
Speaker 1: my lap and I gave her a little scratches and
Speaker 1: told her how sweet she was, and then i'd stop scratching.
Speaker 1: And you know exactly what they do when you stop scratching,
Speaker 1: They look at you like, bitch, is that all yep?
Speaker 2: Give me more?
Speaker 1: So I'd scratch her some more and she'd relax and
Speaker 1: I'd stop, and she'd look at me again with those
Speaker 1: big brown eyes from like five inches away and be like,
Speaker 1: you got more of those. So she still loves her scratches,
Speaker 1: but she is definitely She had trouble jumping on the
Speaker 1: couch the other day, and that was the first time
Speaker 1: I ever saw that happen, because she used to like
Speaker 1: she's got a spot on the couch and she tried
Speaker 1: to jump, she didn't make it. She fell over landed
Speaker 1: on her back, and then she kind of walked away, like, fuck,
Speaker 1: what happened?
Speaker 2: Oh? So I like hate seeing things like that happened
Speaker 2: to dogs. We watch dogs, you know, and we have
Speaker 2: one called his name's Blue, and we're watching him this weekend.
Speaker 2: And we've been watching him for almost two years now,
Speaker 2: and we see him frequently, and I've seen like that
Speaker 2: decline of like he can't really jump up and down anymore,
Speaker 2: like fourteen.
Speaker 1: Oh he's an old boy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's a little bit older now, but like you know,
Speaker 2: his energy is still there for the most part, Like
Speaker 2: he likes to play catch, but it's harder for him
Speaker 2: to see the ball. And I just, man, it's so
Speaker 2: hard to see dogs get to that age where they
Speaker 2: can't do those simple things that you know, dogs should
Speaker 2: be able to do.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And it's like, and that's the thing. Somebody sent
Speaker 1: us a chart and we talked about this a couple
Speaker 1: of months ago, Jenny, where it's like, here's the checklist
Speaker 1: to see whether your dog is like still enjoying life
Speaker 1: or not. And Josie is definitely still enjoying life. It
Speaker 1: was so cute. It's kind of a long story, but
Speaker 1: she did sleep. She doesn't get on the bed with me.
Speaker 1: Because she wears a diaper. I'm not gonna have a
Speaker 1: dog and a diaper on my bed and pee in
Speaker 1: my bed right. But she's on the floor next to
Speaker 1: my bed all last night and I looked down and
Speaker 1: she there. She was right snuggled up by the bedside
Speaker 1: because she loves her daddy. Good. Uh. Next one is
Speaker 1: from Rebecca. She said, if you need something to talk
Speaker 1: about on the Minnesota Goodbye, here's an idea. I just
Speaker 1: listened to a podcast called Unbelievable the Coco Berthman Story
Speaker 1: on the iHeartRadio app. It's a great podcast, highly recommend.
Speaker 1: A while back, David recommended Queen of the Con and
Speaker 1: I like that. If you like that, you'll like this
Speaker 1: welcome back from Rebecca. I'm going to take a picture
Speaker 1: of this one because I do need a new podcast
Speaker 1: to listen to while I'm on the treadmill at snap.
Speaker 1: Unbelievable the Coco Berthman Story. Have you heard about that?
Speaker 1: Do you know anything about it? No?
Speaker 2: I haven't. When you are on the treadmill, you listen
Speaker 2: to podcasts, not music.
Speaker 1: Uh yeah yeah, act do you can't.
Speaker 2: Like stay focused? I need like I need that music
Speaker 2: to like pump me up for treadmill time.
Speaker 1: I get it. Yeah, I can do either way. I
Speaker 1: music sometimes works and sometimes it's a podcast. I do
Speaker 1: this stare monster over its snap, which is like basically
Speaker 1: climbing stairs. I love that you call it that. It
Speaker 1: is a bitch and I hate it, but it is.
Speaker 1: I mean, you talk about burn the calories, man, they
Speaker 1: just melt right off. Britney writes in She says, hey,
Speaker 1: y'all scroll in Facebook. Saw a post from a friend
Speaker 1: who complimented someone on being an amazing traveler. I'm here
Speaker 1: for it. It was very sweet, but I started thinking, I
Speaker 1: never heard of that as a compliment before. So what
Speaker 1: do you think makes an amazing traveler? Audios from Britney.
Speaker 1: I don't know, Jenny, do you want to handle what
Speaker 1: makes somebody an amazing traveler? They complimented somebody said you're
Speaker 1: an amazing traveler.
Speaker 2: I think it probably depends on the person. I think
Speaker 2: it probably depends on if they're going to a lot
Speaker 2: of different places, or if they're seeing unique things, or
Speaker 2: if they're traveling frequently but doing it frugally. I don't know.
Speaker 2: I mean, I've been told that I plan like really
Speaker 2: great trips and stuff, which is why I try. I
Speaker 2: put together a travel website because I feel like I'm
Speaker 2: really really good at finding like hidden gems and doing
Speaker 2: things also in a cheap way, like I I'm not
Speaker 2: a five star hotel kind of girl. I'm a cheap
Speaker 2: Airbnb or whatever it might be. So yeah, I think
Speaker 2: it would just depend on what the person's doing while
Speaker 2: they're traveling to get that kind of company.
Speaker 1: Well, now it's like your travel website.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it's meetmeof grid dot com. I just slow
Speaker 2: down what meet me off grid dot com? And if
Speaker 2: you want, I just put up a bunch of info
Speaker 2: for the North Shore because I just went up there
Speaker 2: this weekend. So I did a full guide and put
Speaker 2: that together if you want to check that out. So
Speaker 2: I got a lot of different things down there.
Speaker 1: Uh, check it out. I saw the pictures up by
Speaker 1: the frozen waterfall. What's it called the frost pit? What's
Speaker 1: the hole? Icehole?
Speaker 2: I like that they should change it to that. It's
Speaker 2: Devil's kettle, Devil's cattle.
Speaker 1: I close the frost pit.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, I would just say, well, I don't know
Speaker 2: where you got that one from, but.
Speaker 1: Yeah, check that out, all right, Taylor writes in Dave,
Speaker 1: Jenny Bailey, and vant I've been trying to think of
Speaker 1: something funny to say, but I haven't in my coffee yet,
Speaker 1: so I'm sorry. I really hope you've seen the TikTok trend.
Speaker 1: Well maybe not you, Dave, but it's we listen and
Speaker 1: we don't judge.
Speaker 2: Vont did it last week with Alissa what is it?
Speaker 2: So basically we're mina something that's either that they do
Speaker 2: or it's something about their partner or friend, and then
Speaker 2: after you say it, you all say, we listen and
Speaker 2: we don't judge.
Speaker 1: I remember her saying your barbecue chicken gives me diarrhea.
Speaker 2: Yes, that, And then Vont said that Alyssa's breath is
Speaker 2: so disgusting in the morning he can't handle it, and
Speaker 2: he went hard on Alyssa's breath.
Speaker 1: I was like, maybe, oh yeah, so thank you, Taylor,
Speaker 1: we did see that, but I appreciate that. And next one, no,
Speaker 1: that is not okay. Here's one. This is from Bailey,
Speaker 1: not our Bailey, but Bailey comp Dave. I remember listening
Speaker 1: to your morning show maybe tennis years ago, when Breaking
Speaker 1: Bad ended and you said you brought some bots some
Speaker 1: props used on the show I am a huge fan
Speaker 1: of Breaking Band. I've watched it since it came on Netflix.
Speaker 1: Would have loved to get a piece of memorabilia from
Speaker 1: the show. Could you remind me what props you bought
Speaker 1: and if you don't mind, how much you paid. Thanks
Speaker 1: love the show that is Bailey. Yes, I did, and
Speaker 1: it was a weird experience. And I will tell you
Speaker 1: be very careful when you buy Hollywood screen used memorabilia.
Speaker 1: Here's what I bought. The best thing I bought was
Speaker 1: I'll save that for last, but I bought Jesse's watch
Speaker 1: from season one or two or three, and it was
Speaker 1: like a you know, like a dressy kind of a watch.
Speaker 1: It was kind of cool, but I'm pretty sure it
Speaker 1: was fake. And it even came with a hologram Sony
Speaker 1: Pictures certificate of authenticity. But I'm pretty sure it was
Speaker 1: not the real one. The reason why it showed nowhere
Speaker 1: at all. In other words, you put on a watch
Speaker 1: band like a belt, you know, the belt's got like
Speaker 1: little holes in a buckle yea on this watch band.
Speaker 1: If he had worn it, it would have shown some
Speaker 1: signs of it being worn. There were no signs of
Speaker 1: it being worn ever, not even once. As a matter
Speaker 1: of fact, the band had no curve to it at all,
Speaker 1: like it was still straight out of a box. And
Speaker 1: I think it was they sold me something that wasn't
Speaker 1: really used in the show. Gosh, not uncommon when you
Speaker 1: buy memorabilia like this. The next one I bought was
Speaker 1: the binoculars, tiny little binoculars that Walter uses. He's on
Speaker 1: top of the parking garage and he's watching somebody, and
Speaker 1: I bought those binoculars. Now again, I looked very closely
Speaker 1: at the ones that I bought and the ones like
Speaker 1: a still from Walter White holding the binoculars, and they
Speaker 1: could have been the same, but they also might not
Speaker 1: have been the same, like a scuff mark here that
Speaker 1: wasn't in that picture, and I think again it might
Speaker 1: they might have sold me a fake one. But the
Speaker 1: one that I'm pretty sure of was I bought Skinny
Speaker 1: Pete's hat. And if you know Skinny Pete in the show,
Speaker 1: he always wears a little beanie cap and there were
Speaker 1: certain thread flaws in it that were the same on
Speaker 1: the show as that were on the hat that I bought.
Speaker 1: So Carson and his friends thought that was really cool,
Speaker 1: and that was the one that I knew that Skinny
Speaker 1: Pete actually wore. And Skinny Pete was the guy that
Speaker 1: played him, was doing an interview after the show ended,
Speaker 1: and he said, they said, what happened to your hat?
Speaker 1: And he's like, man, I don't know, but it ought
Speaker 1: to be in the Smithsonian And I'm like, oh, dang,
Speaker 1: I own that hat and I sold it on eBay
Speaker 1: and I think I got nine hundred bucks for it
Speaker 1: something like that. I don't remember.
Speaker 2: Do you remember how much you paid for it?
Speaker 1: I don't probably five hundred dollars or something least. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but be careful by and not that many people listening
Speaker 1: are never going to buy like set movie used memorabilia,
Speaker 1: but a lot of it is fake, so be careful.
Speaker 1: Next one, let me delete that one from Bailey And
Speaker 1: here we go with that one's really long, so I'm
Speaker 1: gonna skip that one. Go to ooh, that one's even longer. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And the reason I like don't read the long ones
Speaker 1: is because sometimes we get like two paragraphs into it
Speaker 1: and we realize it didn't need to be that long. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So let's try this. When it says Minnesota, goodbye Urgent. Okay,
Speaker 1: you ready, yep? Okay, Dave Ryan, Mimi here, I'll be
Speaker 1: late for work because of the urgency in which I
Speaker 1: need to send you this email. Work can wait. I'm
Speaker 1: listening to the podcast where you're wondering what to do
Speaker 1: with your boxes and boxes of old tapes for your show.
Speaker 1: Do you know who would treasure and actually listen to them?
Speaker 1: Fans and listeners. With that being said, let's capitalize on
Speaker 1: this to drive donations to Christmas Wish. What if you
Speaker 1: offered a limited Mystery Dave Ryan tape gift with a
Speaker 1: donation of one hundred dollars. Even sending out fifty tapes
Speaker 1: would make a great donation or addition to the program.
Speaker 1: Get Secretary Brie on this. This way, you're chipping away
Speaker 1: your tape stash, delighting listeners, and doing good. I don't
Speaker 1: know that people would really want those, because it's email.
Speaker 2: And about it. I think that people would like them.
Speaker 1: But would you want a random show from like August
Speaker 1: third of two thousand and six, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I can't personally say that I would,
Speaker 2: but that's because I'm a minimalist. There are so many
Speaker 2: people out there, though, that have grown up listening to
Speaker 2: the show. It might be something like nostalgic that brings
Speaker 2: them so much joy.
Speaker 1: What if it was a show from like August third
Speaker 1: of nineteen eighty seven. Now we're going back thirty five
Speaker 1: years and it's not even in Minneapolis. That'd be Columbus, Ohio.
Speaker 2: Would anybody will not have a label according to like when.
Speaker 1: I got the dates on them, so i'd know what
Speaker 1: radio station I've work.
Speaker 2: I think it's still be fun because it's your voice.
Speaker 2: I think that people are the most interesting.
Speaker 1: Yeah you think so. Yeah, I mean I find that flattering.
Speaker 1: But I don't know what the appeal of that would be.
Speaker 1: But you know, hey, if you got a thought on that,
Speaker 1: let me know. And first of all, Mimi, thank you
Speaker 1: for bringing that up. Lastly, if I were Dave Ryan,
Speaker 1: I would plan on dropping off a few at your
Speaker 1: local half priced book are cheapo for someone to discover.
Speaker 1: That would be a riot to find a vintage Dave
Speaker 1: Ryan tape. Love y'all. Thanks for everything. Gotta go, Mimi,
Speaker 1: thank you very much. I will consider that because I
Speaker 1: was going through we got the Christmas tree out of
Speaker 1: the basement yesterday and I found a giant box of
Speaker 1: old cassette tapes, so that would.
Speaker 2: Be a good I like that suggestion though, dropping off
Speaker 2: at like a cheapo or something. Because Andrew's friend found
Speaker 2: a KTEWB record from like nineteen eighty or something and
Speaker 2: it was signed of like the DJs at the time,
Speaker 2: and I remember I showed Rich and he remember he
Speaker 2: knew who all of them were and stuff, and no kidding, really,
Speaker 2: he bought it and he gave it to me and
Speaker 2: I was like, that's so cool. I haven't played it
Speaker 2: because my record player is broken, but it's really cool
Speaker 2: and I love it.
Speaker 1: We get once in a while somebody will send in
Speaker 1: an old like nineteen sixties album. That's not what you're
Speaker 1: talking about, though, is it.
Speaker 2: No, it's like an actual record, Okay, yeah.
Speaker 1: Okay, so people there. I guess back in the sixties,
Speaker 1: KTWB would release a like a yearly and you will
Speaker 1: hit collections or something.
Speaker 2: I think it is like a mixture of songs on it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it was kind of like now a now
Speaker 1: thirty seven or a now eighty two or whatever, and
Speaker 1: they were records and they had Katie would be like,
Speaker 1: you know, art all over the cover. So and I'll
Speaker 1: see those once in a while. People will send it
Speaker 1: to you and say, hey, I found this in my
Speaker 1: dad's garage. Do you want it? And it's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's cool. But I've already got about seventeen of them,
Speaker 1: so thank you. All right, if I didn't get to
Speaker 1: your email today because it's long, for example, Thurston and Alicia,
Speaker 1: give me a minute to write to read through these,
Speaker 1: because again, I really appreciate you writing in a long email,
Speaker 1: but I want to make sure that we can, you know,
Speaker 1: squeeze all of that in. That is it for now.
Speaker 1: Thank you for listening to the Minnesota Goodbye. Send your
Speaker 1: emails into Ryan Show at KDWB dot com
