Speaker 1: Okay, are you ready for the Minnesota Goodbye? It is
Speaker 1: our daily podcast of things that we Is there anything
Speaker 1: that we didn't get to talk about on the radio
Speaker 1: today that you want to talk about? Can I give
Speaker 1: you one? Sure, we were riding the motorcycle. We were
Speaker 1: out of Saint Bonnie. We're coming back on Highway seven
Speaker 1: and the speed limit is probably fifty five or so,
Speaker 1: but you know, it's an open country road, so you
Speaker 1: tend to go sixty five or so. Somebody is I'm
Speaker 1: right around the Fallon turnoff and that's what I call it,
Speaker 1: the Fallon turnoff into Minnetrashta, and somebody flashes their high
Speaker 1: beam their head lights at me. Blink a blink a
Speaker 1: blink of blink of blinka, yeah, and I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: that's that must mean there's.
Speaker 2: A cop right, Yeah, that's usually what I think, or
Speaker 2: it means oh, or it's like I thought it was
Speaker 2: like some gang related thing.
Speaker 3: What we talked about that before.
Speaker 1: That's an urban legend.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know it means lights, believe it, that's what
Speaker 3: it means.
Speaker 1: Well, it was during the daytime, so blink a blink
Speaker 1: of blinka. There's several things that can mean your lights
Speaker 1: are off, turn your lights on, yeah, Or there's a
Speaker 1: pop up ahead with a speed radar thing, or it's
Speaker 1: a gang initiation where if you flash your lights back,
Speaker 1: they will turn around and kill you. Now that's an
Speaker 1: urban legend, that's not true. But it turned out there
Speaker 1: was a cop pulled over the side of the road
Speaker 1: in an unmarked SUV doing the radar speed checks and
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, I wasn't really speeding. I was
Speaker 1: maybe going three to five over the speed limit. But
Speaker 1: then all the way back down Highway seven, I felt
Speaker 1: like everybody's hero because I went blink a blinka, blink
Speaker 1: a blink a blink a blinka with my motorcycle to
Speaker 1: tell people, Hey, there's a cop up there ready to
Speaker 1: bust you for speeding. I had no idea, and Susan said,
Speaker 1: don't do that, and I said why. She said, because
Speaker 1: if they're speeding, they're unsafe. They deserve to get caught.
Speaker 1: And I said, yeah, but everybody speeds, So what would
Speaker 1: you say, Jenny, Was I wrong or right to blink
Speaker 1: a blinka at oncoming traffic to warn them of.
Speaker 2: The cop If any cops are listening right now, Dave
Speaker 2: was obviously wrong for anyone who's not a cop.
Speaker 3: Yeah, do it, baby, Yeah?
Speaker 1: Really?
Speaker 2: He like yeah, and the people will be nice because
Speaker 2: it's man, it sucks to get caught in like a
Speaker 2: speed trap.
Speaker 3: I don't know, it just sucks.
Speaker 1: I see both sides of it. You know. It's like
Speaker 1: we all speed I mean I again, I think the
Speaker 1: speed limit there is fifty to fifty five miles an hour.
Speaker 1: The town that I live in Colorado is called black Forest. Now.
Speaker 1: I grew up there, there were no speed limit signs
Speaker 1: on the roads. We went as fast as we wanted to,
Speaker 1: probably sixty miles an hour all through this town it
Speaker 1: called black Forest. And now there's forty five mile an
Speaker 1: hour speed limit signs, and all the new people that
Speaker 1: have moved in since then, they all creep along at
Speaker 1: forty five fucking miles an hour or forty three, yeah,
Speaker 1: forty And I'm like, this is not a state park,
Speaker 1: this is not a parking lot. This is where we live.
Speaker 1: Fucking move So I will drive probably sixty sixty five
Speaker 1: through these country roads and I'll get behind somebody who
Speaker 1: just moved there from California, and here they are forty
Speaker 1: two miles an hour, and I will pass them the
Speaker 1: first opportunity that I get, So all right, okay, next
Speaker 1: one totally let us know if you have any thoughts
Speaker 1: on that email from Amy. Hello, morning crew. I hope
Speaker 1: I'm not beating a dead horse with this, but I
Speaker 1: want to give my share my baby on a plane
Speaker 1: story and ask if I was the jerk. I got
Speaker 1: the opportunity to go to Hawaii for my fortieth birthday
Speaker 1: a few years ago. My boyfriend at the time and
Speaker 1: I decided to treat ourselves the first class since I
Speaker 1: would be flying the whole day of my birthday. We
Speaker 1: had an layover in LA where we picked up a
Speaker 1: family flying with a toddler in first class. The family
Speaker 1: occupied the seats across from us and the two seats
Speaker 1: behind us. Everything was fine until they decided the kid
Speaker 1: needed a nap. They proceeded ask everybody in first class
Speaker 1: will you close all your windows to make it darker
Speaker 1: so the kid could get to sleep easier. Since it
Speaker 1: was my birthday and I chose the window seat because
Speaker 1: I enjoy looking out the window while flying, I said, no,
Speaker 1: Was I a jerk? Well apparently they thought so, as
Speaker 1: they proceeded to mumble some not very nice things from
Speaker 1: the seats behind us, and even gave us the look
Speaker 1: of death when we got off the plane. Fortunately, I
Speaker 1: laugh at it now. With two kids of my own,
Speaker 1: I know full well what it's like traveling and flying
Speaker 1: with kids. But I would never dream of asking complete
Speaker 1: strangers to cater to my or my children's needs. Maybe
Speaker 1: that's just me, all right. I totally agree with you.
Speaker 1: It's like, Okay, no, your window is your window. You
Speaker 1: kind of go along with the crowd. Like if you're
Speaker 1: flying and everybody's got their shades down and you don't
Speaker 1: feel like looking out, I kind of put mine down.
Speaker 1: If you're like trying to sleep on a rick a
Speaker 1: really long flight and you're the only asshole with your
Speaker 1: window open, I'd probably put my window down. Yeah, But
Speaker 1: I also sit by the window every single time. I
Speaker 1: love to look out the window. And so you were
Speaker 1: not the jerk to not put your window down. It's
Speaker 1: your birthday, you paid for that seat, and you're also
Speaker 1: allowed to recline your seat anybody else.
Speaker 2: I agree everything that you said. And also I just
Speaker 2: feel like some people have just the audacity, that's all
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say. Yeah, for them to go around and
Speaker 2: ask everyone in first class to put their windows down.
Speaker 2: It's just like I could understand maybe in a way
Speaker 2: of like, hey, do you mind if you're not using it,
Speaker 2: like would you put it down, but like for them
Speaker 2: to get upset them when she said no, it's like shut.
Speaker 4: Up because the window seat, if you get in the
Speaker 4: window seat, your thing is the window. If you're on
Speaker 4: the aisle seat, your thing is the aisle so you
Speaker 4: can get easy access in and out to the court
Speaker 4: of the bathroom.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: And if you're in the.
Speaker 4: Middle seat, you should be allowed to have both armrests
Speaker 4: on either side of you. That's the one thing that
Speaker 4: you get. So the window seat, your window is your
Speaker 4: window period.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So I'm glad we I think that, Yes, they
Speaker 1: were very entitled to ask you. And first of all,
Speaker 1: still people have a problem with a kid in first
Speaker 1: class because you paid for a very special fortieth birthday trip.
Speaker 1: It was your fortieth birthday. You paid probably double or
Speaker 1: triple to sit in first class. I don't know how
Speaker 1: much more it will be. It depends on a lot
Speaker 1: of different things. But here is somebody who took their
Speaker 1: kid into first class and they decided that they could
Speaker 1: inconvenience you with a kid an adult would never say, Hey,
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm going to take a nap, would
Speaker 1: you close your window for me? I'd be like no.
Speaker 1: I mean seriously, I.
Speaker 4: Wonder if it's the way that we're thinking about it,
Speaker 4: Like no kids in first class is because we think
Speaker 4: of first class as like a treat, and when kids
Speaker 4: are in first class, maybe that's just like the usual
Speaker 4: for them because they have, you know, the money to
Speaker 4: have their whole family in first class. So it goes
Speaker 4: from being like, oh, this is a treat that I
Speaker 4: want to this to be a fabulous experience and it
Speaker 4: doesn't occur to the other people like oh, this.
Speaker 3: Is just always how we fly.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess. So, yeah, it's kind of like an
Speaker 1: adult's only living community, like an all the adults only
Speaker 1: like you know, I don't know, town home complex or whatever. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's nothing wrong with kids, you just choose not to
Speaker 1: live around them so you don't hear screaming and bicycles
Speaker 1: and fireworks and shit like that at all hours of
Speaker 1: the night. She goes on to say, I get a
Speaker 1: book recommendation for Bailey The Love that Split the World
Speaker 1: by Emily Henry. It is nothing like anything I've ever
Speaker 1: read by her before and I absolutely loved it. It's
Speaker 1: a coming of age love story with some sci fi
Speaker 1: existential crisis thrown in. I would also love a sticker,
Speaker 1: as I'm a first time rider but longtime listener of
Speaker 1: the show. When did w LOL go off the air,
Speaker 1: because that's how long I've been listening. Nineteen eighty nine. No, yeah,
Speaker 1: if you don't know, WROL was the big competitor to
Speaker 1: KATIEWB for years and I think they were ninety nine
Speaker 1: point nine or something like that, and they were sold
Speaker 1: in about nineteen eighty nine to Minnesota Public Radio. Oh,
Speaker 1: and they changed formats like overnight, and all the people
Speaker 1: who were on it, like John Hines and all these
Speaker 1: other people were instantly unemployed.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 1: And it was just the weirdest thing. I didn't live
Speaker 1: here at the time, but that was kind of a
Speaker 1: big story.
Speaker 4: I have a wol T shirt I used to wear
Speaker 4: like my mom's clothes in high school because I thought
Speaker 4: it was so cool, so like stuff from the seventies
Speaker 4: and eighties, and she had a wol T shirt and
Speaker 4: I still have it. I should find that and wear
Speaker 4: it in some days.
Speaker 1: That is from Amy and Savage Amy. Thank you. I'll
Speaker 1: get that staff writer sticker out to you. Good morning
Speaker 1: from Aubrey. I was going to ask Jenny the best
Speaker 1: place is to travel in and out of the US,
Speaker 1: but I found her website and I want to say
Speaker 1: thank you. Makes both of our lives easier. I get
Speaker 1: free flight benefits and wanting to travel a lot more.
Speaker 1: And I'm jealous of all of Jenny's adventures.
Speaker 2: Yay, I'm glad you it was helpful, and if anyone
Speaker 2: wants to check it out, it's meet meofgrid dot com.
Speaker 2: I just have a bunch of itineraries, tips, tricks, road trips,
Speaker 2: all that good stuff on there.
Speaker 1: Where should I travel in the United States?
Speaker 2: I think that you need to go to Utah because
Speaker 2: you've still never done all the Utah stuff, and I
Speaker 2: swear you would just like love it. I did not
Speaker 2: think going to Utah would be my thing that trip.
Speaker 2: I actually wanted to go to the East Coast, but
Speaker 2: I'm so happy that Utah ended up being the destination
Speaker 2: because it was so cool and I feel like we
Speaker 2: barely scratched the surface of the amount of things we
Speaker 2: could have done there, and we did a lot.
Speaker 1: I think I would like Utah. We get our RV
Speaker 1: at the end of the month. And number one, we
Speaker 1: don't have a place to park it yet, so we're
Speaker 1: kind of screwed there. And also we don't have any
Speaker 1: trips planned because we don't have any time off. We
Speaker 1: get a weekend, so we'll probably go to the Koa campground,
Speaker 1: but going to like Utah would be really dope for sure.
Speaker 1: All right, next one, and this is a follow up
Speaker 1: from Donna to last week when Jenny sayin some guy
Speaker 1: said you had a great stride when rollerblading. I miss this.
Speaker 2: I think someone said what was the weirdest compliment you
Speaker 2: ever get in given or something like that. So I said, Yeah,
Speaker 2: this guy came up to me when I was rollerblading
Speaker 2: around the lakes and uptown and said you have a
Speaker 2: really good stride, and then he gave me his business car.
Speaker 2: He was like sixty, I was like twenty seven. It
Speaker 2: was just a funny interaction.
Speaker 1: Was he hitting on you?
Speaker 2: I don't know, Like I think he genuinely was like
Speaker 2: telling me I'm a really good rollerblader, but then the
Speaker 2: whole like he giving me his card, and then he
Speaker 2: did say we should rollerblade together sometime.
Speaker 1: And I was like O gaes that's weird.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it had like.
Speaker 2: Just LinkedIn on it. I don't even know if it
Speaker 2: had his phone numbers. So yeah, I think I looked
Speaker 2: him up afterwards, because of course why would I not,
Speaker 2: But yeah, that was it.
Speaker 1: There was a radio girl, speaking of which that came
Speaker 1: into town, and I don't know if you met her.
Speaker 1: Her name is Ali. She's like six foot two, Okay,
Speaker 1: Ali is still on the radio from what I understand,
Speaker 1: And she was coming into town to see her boyfriend
Speaker 1: and she'd heard of me through the business, and she said, hey,
Speaker 1: let's get together. And I said, yeah, I said, you
Speaker 1: like to ride motorcycles, I can loan you a motorcycle
Speaker 1: and we can go ride motorcycles together, or we could
Speaker 1: go flying, or we could get lunch or whatever. And
Speaker 1: there's a tiny little part of her that I think
Speaker 1: she thought I was hitting on her, and I wasn't
Speaker 1: at all. I was just being socially awkward and offering
Speaker 1: you know, too much, like too much enthusiasm, instead of saying, yeah,
Speaker 1: let's go down to Panera bread and get lunch, which
Speaker 1: is exactly what we ended up doing. But I think
Speaker 1: that she might have thought I was hitting on her
Speaker 1: and It's like, trust me, number one, I'm not going
Speaker 1: to hit on anybody. I mean, maybe it depends, but
Speaker 1: also I'm not going to have like I would never
Speaker 1: embarrass myself by hitting on somebody who's like one half
Speaker 1: of my age and six foot two and gorgeous and
Speaker 1: have her be like are you hitting on me? Gross?
Speaker 1: I would never do that.
Speaker 2: But don't you remember we called out the situation on
Speaker 2: the radio because we thought it was funny. I don't
Speaker 2: think that she thought you were hitting on her. It
Speaker 2: was a matter of she was in town visiting her boyfriend,
Speaker 2: and you were trying to plan this extravagant like motorcycle
Speaker 2: ride that would consume a bunch of her time where
Speaker 2: she was here to see her boyfriend who lives like
Speaker 2: a few states away from her.
Speaker 3: And we were like, well, yeah, Dave, of course, she
Speaker 3: didn't want to do any of those things.
Speaker 2: She just wanted to meet with you quick, probably for
Speaker 2: a coffee, not spend four hours riding months.
Speaker 1: And that's exactly what I did. I was like, you know,
Speaker 1: I've been like, yeah, commit the day to me. So
Speaker 1: we went to Panera Bread and we got breakfast. Okay.
Speaker 1: Donna goes on to say you could do content that's
Speaker 1: called this a pickup line. I would love to hear others.
Speaker 1: I recently had an interaction to Trader Joe's. I was
Speaker 1: in line waiting for the person in front of me
Speaker 1: to finish checking out seemed to take a while, and
Speaker 1: a young hot guy at least ten years younger was
Speaker 1: behind me started chatting. Now, remember he's a young hot
Speaker 1: guy ten years younger. I had in my cart a
Speaker 1: wrapped up bottle of wine, a chunk of cheese, and
Speaker 1: some of those chocolate crunch things and some fruit. He
Speaker 1: started asking what kind of wine I like better? Or
Speaker 1: did I like white wine? Blah blah blah. At the end,
Speaker 1: he said, he looks in my cart, it seems like
Speaker 1: we have the same things. Maybe we should get together sometime.
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, Oh yeah, that feels like they're hitting out. Wow.
Speaker 1: I honestly didn't know what to say or do. I'm married,
Speaker 1: I haven't been hit on in a while. So I
Speaker 1: texted my besting and I told her this story, and
Speaker 1: she laughed and said, definitely a hit. And maybe Trader
Speaker 1: Joe's has a new marketing campaign. They're hiring people to
Speaker 1: hit on milps ha ha great idea. I might turn
Speaker 1: into a stalker at Trader Joe's. L Ol, made my month.
Speaker 1: You guys are the best, Donna. That's a great story.
Speaker 1: Thank you for that one.
Speaker 2: Dave.
Speaker 3: Do you ever go to Trader Joe's.
Speaker 1: I've been once in my entire life, So.
Speaker 2: Just so you know, the cashiers are the best cashiers
Speaker 2: you'll ever encounter.
Speaker 3: They will always be like.
Speaker 2: Oh you found some really good ideam ooh what's this?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I love this, like whatever. But also sometimes
Speaker 2: it does feel like they might be hitting on you
Speaker 2: because they're so conversational. And so I thought maybe she
Speaker 2: was going to tell a story about a cashier, but
Speaker 2: someone in line, Yeah, I know that person was definitely
Speaker 2: hit Yeah congrats.
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, I you know. It's funny because I don't
Speaker 1: want to give too much information, but I go to
Speaker 1: a place frequently and I run into the same person frequently,
Speaker 1: and they're very friendly, and they're a little bit closer
Speaker 1: to my age, and sometimes I think they've got a
Speaker 1: little crush on me because they're just a little bit
Speaker 1: too happy friendly, smiley, it's a girl. Although I did
Speaker 1: meet a guy at the auto show this weekend. I
Speaker 1: think that he was flirting a little bit, yeah, because
Speaker 1: I was asking him about cars and this and that
Speaker 1: and blah blah where you're from and blah blah blah,
Speaker 1: and he was just a little bit too eye contacted,
Speaker 1: glance up and down, the body kind of a look.
Speaker 3: Which car? Did you guys go hook up in it?
Speaker 1: I don't want to say, but it was kind of
Speaker 1: fun to like, I mean, you know, I'm not going
Speaker 1: to do anything with it, but it was kind of
Speaker 1: fun to be like, maybe flirting a little bit, even
Speaker 1: if it was from a guy never happens to me.
Speaker 1: It does, but you're clueless. You're clueless, and you don't
Speaker 1: understand when people are flirting with you. Clueless. Okay, Nah, Dave,
Speaker 1: Jenny Bailey, Vaunt y'all are amazing. Keep being amazing, favorite
Speaker 1: and best morning show of all time period. I was
Speaker 1: thinking about my favorite bits that have been done on
Speaker 1: the show over the years, and I remember the sidebar bit.
Speaker 1: I don't know why, but those were always so funny.
Speaker 1: I'd love to be able to make a playlist of
Speaker 1: my favorite bits that I'd like to listen back to.
Speaker 1: What are some of you guys's favorite bits? Is the
Speaker 1: sidebar bit? Is that the one we just did this morning,
Speaker 1: like I will will no.
Speaker 2: Sidebar was we're like you and found and be like
Speaker 2: sidebar God, Steve so fucking annoying. Obviously you don't say that, okay,
Speaker 2: but it would be like you two sidebarring and he's
Speaker 2: obviously still sitting there here and everything.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, gotcha. She goes on to say, what are
Speaker 1: some of you guys's favorite bits? You can say my
Speaker 1: name that is from Liz Okay, I don't know. I
Speaker 1: would say we've only done it a couple of times. Mom,
Speaker 1: there's a cow in my living room. Uh. I really
Speaker 1: like doing the games like match game and Password. I
Speaker 1: think those are just fun. I'll be honest with you.
Speaker 1: I don't. I'm not crazy about Mixtape game because I
Speaker 1: always struggle. Do you love mixtape game?
Speaker 4: Well? Do you struggle because you don't prep well enough?
Speaker 4: Like it seems like sometimes you come up with it
Speaker 4: on the spot.
Speaker 1: I'll be honest with you. Sometimes I don't put a
Speaker 1: lot of effort into it because it's so difficult to me.
Speaker 1: It's like unless the song pops into my head, Like, okay,
Speaker 1: you are in a rodeo? What is your you? Uh?
Speaker 1: You know you're a bull rider in the rodeo and
Speaker 1: you get fucked off what song is playing. I'm like,
Speaker 1: I don't fucking know, Well I do. I just don't
Speaker 1: enjoy that creative process.
Speaker 4: The only thing I don't like about mixtape game is
Speaker 4: when everyone is like, yeah.
Speaker 3: You idiot, you don't win that one, stupid.
Speaker 4: And I'm like, oh my gosh, okay, I didn't win
Speaker 4: that roundesh, well you are stupid.
Speaker 3: I love mixtape Game.
Speaker 1: You are stupid, thank you? Oh yeah, sure, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I really like a lyric shuffle. It's just fun. I
Speaker 1: like think fast. But as far as comedy bits, god,
Speaker 1: I I really I used to love the high room
Speaker 1: calls long ago, which we don't do anymore. And I
Speaker 1: love the parody songs, which we don't really do anymore either, Jenny,
Speaker 1: anything coming to mind?
Speaker 2: I mean, I think like one that we don't do
Speaker 2: very often, but it is still always My favorite is
Speaker 2: favorite musical moments, because I always love to hear listeners
Speaker 2: and what their quirk is about their town. And then
Speaker 2: you know, sometimes you find a moment in a song
Speaker 2: that you've never noticed before, and it's the song you've
Speaker 2: heard five hundred times, so that's probably my favorite bit
Speaker 2: that we do. I don't know a regular bit, though,
Speaker 2: I would say mixtape game is my favorite, like regular
Speaker 2: bit that we do.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, okay, fair enough.
Speaker 4: When I was a listener, Mixtape Game was my favorite.
Speaker 3: I loved. I loved, like because.
Speaker 4: I now knowing the show and like I know when
Speaker 4: things happen. I couldn't guarantee like when I would be
Speaker 4: in my car, so I would just be listening to
Speaker 4: whatever happened to be on. And I always thought it
Speaker 4: was like the most baller thing. When I happened to
Speaker 4: be in my car during Mixtape Game, I was like.
Speaker 1: Hell, yeah, I know. I know people enjoy it. Maybe
Speaker 1: I should try to like put a little bit more
Speaker 1: effort into it. But honestly, it's kind of like if
Speaker 1: you know, like if Jenny wanted me to play I
Speaker 1: don't know, pickleball with her, and I'm like, I like pickleball.
Speaker 1: But let's say I didn't really like pickleball. Jenny and
Speaker 1: I are playing pickleball, and I'd be looking at my
Speaker 1: watch and I'd be kind of like not really trying
Speaker 1: because I don't really enjoy it. Now, I use that
Speaker 1: as an example because I like pickleball, but I don't
Speaker 1: really enjoy the creative method of coming up with that one.
Speaker 3: Oh, I think it's fun.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's fine. I'm glad you like it. And if
Speaker 1: we all felt the same way about everything on the show,
Speaker 1: then that would be weird. So okay. That is a
Speaker 1: signal that means rapp okay, And that's it for today.
Speaker 1: Send your emails into Ryan Show at KDWB dot com.
Speaker 1: Thank you for listening to the Minnesota Goodbye
