Speaker 1: All right, let's get started with today's Minnesota Goodbye. It
Speaker 1: is a Friday version of the Minnesota Goodbye. It's funny
Speaker 1: because I'm gonna play a one Nita rant here in
Speaker 1: a minute. And we met one Nita for the first
Speaker 1: time the other day. She came out to Pilgrim Dry
Speaker 1: Canars and I knew her right away. I'm like, that's
Speaker 1: jan Nita. And I went up and I'm like, hey,
Speaker 1: I know whatever, And the moment.
Speaker 2: She said the first fuck, which happened within five seconds,
Speaker 2: I was like, Janita.
Speaker 1: I love you girl. She is so funny anyway, So
Speaker 1: let's start off with one Nita's rant. We never know
Speaker 1: we're gonna get and I actually never know whether it's
Speaker 1: going to play, so let's just push it and see
Speaker 1: what happens here.
Speaker 3: Hey, y'all, Hey, it's Jannita here, Dave, Jenny. I just
Speaker 3: want to say that I so enjoyed hanging out with
Speaker 3: you guys at Pilgrim Cleaners the other day, and we
Speaker 3: are going to have to do this again. When we're
Speaker 3: gonna have to conclude Bailey and BoNT and we can
Speaker 3: all go to the bar, get some drinks, hang out
Speaker 3: and we could talk about people as they come in.
Speaker 3: So here is my weekly rant for this week. So
Speaker 3: you know where you're driving down the highway or you
Speaker 3: know anywhere, and they have these the signs up make
Speaker 3: sure you pay attention to the road or keep your
Speaker 3: eyes on the road, ye, or a billboard with a
Speaker 3: big ass Hamburger on it. If I'm supposed to keep
Speaker 3: my eyes on the road and pay attention to the road,
Speaker 3: why the fuck would you put a goddamn sign on
Speaker 3: the side and tell me tell me to put keep
Speaker 3: my eyes on the road. I can't keep my eyes
Speaker 3: on the road and look at the fucking side at
Speaker 3: the same time. It's impossible. Meanwhile, while I'm looking at
Speaker 3: this big ass hamburger saying, oh is that bacon? Now,
Speaker 3: I ran into the back of Henry now here is
Speaker 3: pissed off because I was looking at the goddamn hamburger
Speaker 3: because I was hungry, because you put the goddamn billboard there.
Speaker 3: You just told me to pay attention to the road.
Speaker 3: Stop putting these goddamn billboards up with these all these
Speaker 3: lights and colors and shit. That's taking my attraction away
Speaker 3: from the road. Let me stay on the road. Well,
Speaker 3: that's right. Rant for the week. Love you guys, can
Speaker 3: talk to you next week.
Speaker 1: Uh, thank you, Anita. It was so funny we all
Speaker 1: got distracted during the middle of a rant because our
Speaker 1: Amber alert went off on our phone. Yes. I was like, no,
Speaker 1: it wasn't you. I Mine went off too. That is funny.
Speaker 1: I think that. Yeah, we all do that. We all
Speaker 1: the good billboards. Billboards are meant to get our attention
Speaker 1: and they do a good job, and we're supposed to
Speaker 1: keep our eyes on the road.
Speaker 2: I don't know actually the ones that change, the ones
Speaker 2: like the ones that specifically, like the Department of Transportation
Speaker 2: puts up and they always have like kind of like
Speaker 2: a pay yeah and like something Halloween related. And I'm
Speaker 2: always like, you know, it's like don't drink and drive
Speaker 2: or don't be distracted. And I was like, I feel
Speaker 2: like you're distracting us though.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I always wonder who's the person who, like, like the
Speaker 4: police officer who comes up with those Like they just
Speaker 4: sit in the office and they're like, oh.
Speaker 1: Here's a good one. Tap tap. There's one out by
Speaker 1: Ridgedale mall as you head west toward like Wisetta that
Speaker 1: says something like if you something like your broomstick won't
Speaker 1: fly if you get a dui.
Speaker 4: Yeah something, And that's what they all said that yesterday.
Speaker 1: Do they all say that yesterday's hair to see.
Speaker 4: When it was snowing sideways.
Speaker 1: But yeah, this is funny, like and we it's such
Speaker 1: a cliche in Minnesota that people forget how to drive
Speaker 1: when it gets shitty for the first time. But it's real.
Speaker 1: But it's real. My friend who's a cop, she said,
Speaker 1: Oh my god, we've had so many accidents today because
Speaker 1: people forget how to drive and put distance between them
Speaker 1: and the car in front of you. And that when
Speaker 1: you when you go off on one of those loops,
Speaker 1: you know, like when you're on the freeway and you
Speaker 1: get off and you have to go or on a
Speaker 1: big loop, people forget that it's slippery and you have
Speaker 1: to go slow so you don't end up in the
Speaker 1: retention pond, so pond.
Speaker 2: I need new tires so bad on my car though,
Speaker 2: Like I got to get that done in the.
Speaker 1: Next few How do you know, have they been slippery
Speaker 1: or has it just been a long time.
Speaker 2: I needed them, like two years ago. That's how I know.
Speaker 2: Because yes, the tread is like nonexistent and last winter
Speaker 2: I probably would have gotten them had we had a
Speaker 2: rough winter, but we didn't, so I was like, I
Speaker 2: got I can make it through another time.
Speaker 1: Tires are expensive too, I know That's.
Speaker 2: Why I am like putting it off, but I can't.
Speaker 1: Another one from Angela the emails here on the Minnesota Goodbye.
Speaker 1: Let me just check my wave form and make sure
Speaker 1: this is all recording and it is okay. We were
Speaker 1: talking about revealing things on Facebook. Did we talk about
Speaker 1: this on the Minnesota Goodbye? I think we did. Angela says.
Speaker 1: A few relatives, including myself, found out my uncle died
Speaker 1: a few weeks ago via Facebook, and I was devastated.
Speaker 1: I knew he was sick and then it could happen,
Speaker 1: but that's not the way I wanted to find out.
Speaker 1: I was on my way home from the Sabrina Carpenter concert,
Speaker 1: stuck in traffic. I then messaged my aunt, his sister,
Speaker 1: who posted, and told her that she absolutely should not
Speaker 1: have posted on Facebook. Before everybody was told his wife
Speaker 1: didn't even post on Facebook, so why should she. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's absolutely a good point. You don't post I guess
Speaker 1: burst deaths, engagements things like that, like I heard that
Speaker 1: Baileyan trip got engaged. I would want to post on
Speaker 1: oh my God, but I wouldn't. I wouldn't wait until
Speaker 1: you two got engaged.
Speaker 4: Thank you for that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, am I thinking that? Okay, maybe I'm making this
Speaker 2: story up my head. But at Fallon's wedding, didn't you
Speaker 2: post something first?
Speaker 1: I may have that kind of rings a bell. It
Speaker 1: was her first wedding because I didn't go to her
Speaker 1: second wedding. I was out of town. It's possible, but
Speaker 1: I think that Facebook, at least for me, was moderately
Speaker 1: new and I didn't know. But it's very possible, right,
Speaker 1: and you.
Speaker 2: Did know the etiquette, So I'm not fault in you whatsoever.
Speaker 2: But I feel like I remember that being a story.
Speaker 1: I think so, yeah, and I didn't really understand that.
Speaker 1: I thought, oh, well, I'm at her wedding. Everybody knows
Speaker 1: she's getting married, but I didn't have the etiquette right
Speaker 1: to post before she did. Yeah, another one. Let's see
Speaker 1: what we got here that Dave, You are correct. I
Speaker 1: am not anti AI necessarily, but nothing says I'm doing
Speaker 1: this only because I should. More than having your social
Speaker 1: media account remind you of a birthday in the first place,
Speaker 1: and then hitting one button to deliver a prepackaged generic message.
Speaker 1: We talked about this on the radio yesterday, not I think,
Speaker 1: on the Minnesota Goodbye. But I was like, stop with
Speaker 1: the because Facebook will say, hey, it's Jenny's birthday today.
Speaker 1: Want to wish her a happy birthday. So you tap
Speaker 1: on that and it'll give you like four or five
Speaker 1: generic AI generated happy birthday, happy birthday party hat, happy
Speaker 1: birthday party, present, balloon, and I've been doing that but
Speaker 1: then I and I thought, Okay, well that's decent. It's
Speaker 1: better than nothing, and it's easy. And then on my
Speaker 1: birthday a week ago, I got so many of those
Speaker 1: and I really was like, okay, well, I appreciate it,
Speaker 1: but it's so like it takes you a second and
Speaker 1: a half to do.
Speaker 4: And then when you're going through all your birthday wishes,
Speaker 4: you just scroll prep past those like I don't care
Speaker 4: who wished me a AI generated happy birthday.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I tried on my birthday to go back and
Speaker 1: like every single one that wished me a happy birthday.
Speaker 2: Man, I don't even look at Facebook on my birthday.
Speaker 2: I don't even look at Wait until the end of
Speaker 2: the day. Well because I don't do Facebook ever. So
Speaker 2: I don't expect anyone to wish me a happy birthday
Speaker 2: on Facebook because I barely use it.
Speaker 1: Really.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Okay, I don't know. I think there's too much
Speaker 2: social media nowadays. I stick to Instagram and then Like
Speaker 2: for my own personal like posting, and then TikTok from
Speaker 2: like the entertainment. Yeah, but Facebook I've gotten away from.
Speaker 1: I can see that I use Facebook and all social
Speaker 1: media mostly for work as far as me posting, but
Speaker 1: I definitely do scroll through and look at the you know,
Speaker 1: the reels and things like that. She goes on to say,
Speaker 1: the only purpose of this setup is to make the
Speaker 1: poster feel satisfied with themselves for doing something, even though
Speaker 1: it's parallel to doing nothing. Imagine if the birthday persons
Speaker 1: love languages, gifts, and all people do is send can posts.
Speaker 1: It's not not only is it unsatisfied to read through. Now,
Speaker 1: the birthday person probably feels obligated to spend their time
Speaker 1: liking each post to show how grateful they are for
Speaker 1: your crappy show of friendship. Okay, rant complete another piece
Speaker 1: of business. You all need to creak up the volume
Speaker 1: on Janita. Maybe it's her recording method, but she's almost
Speaker 1: too quiet to hear, and we can't have that. I
Speaker 1: did check the level and it did look okay this time.
Speaker 1: But okay, finally, I hope you inspired a ton of
Speaker 1: people to donate coachs and winter gear. Thanks for the
Speaker 1: generous programs you run throughout the season's peace out homies.
Speaker 1: That is from Teresa.
Speaker 2: Can I play Devil's Advocate once? For the birthday posting?
Speaker 2: Wouldn't you almost prefer though, that they actually did wish
Speaker 2: you happy birthday versus nothing like Sure, it didn't take
Speaker 2: any effort because they just had AI generated. But aren't
Speaker 2: you like excited to see oh, like fifty people wish
Speaker 2: me happy birthday versus like ten? Do you know what
Speaker 2: I mean?
Speaker 1: Yeah? I mean I don't have a big problem with it.
Speaker 1: I mean, at least they thought enough. Because I'll be honest,
Speaker 1: and you all know this one. You don't go on Facebook,
Speaker 1: Jenny that much. But sometimes It'll be like, hey, John
Speaker 1: Smith's birthday is today, and I'd be like, I don't
Speaker 1: care about John that much. I don't even tap on it.
Speaker 1: I'm going to go on right now. I'm going to
Speaker 1: look on Facebook and see whose birthday is it is,
Speaker 1: and see whether I care, okay.
Speaker 2: See that's what I do on Facebook is I look
Speaker 2: at the birthdays and then I delete people on that day,
Speaker 2: oh to you, because I don't know who they are anymore.
Speaker 3: Oh.
Speaker 2: I just have like so many friends, and I don't
Speaker 2: remember a lot of people from my hometown anymore because
Speaker 2: I haven't lived there in so so long, so I'm
Speaker 2: kind of like I don't really remember you or like
Speaker 2: in college, Facebook was huge, so we you know, you'd
Speaker 2: meet one person at a party, become friends with them,
Speaker 2: never talk to them again, and so that's like another
Speaker 2: thing where I'm like, I don't even know who this
Speaker 2: person is right now.
Speaker 1: See, I've got a Facebook friend request right now from
Speaker 1: a guy named Kyle, and I don't think I know
Speaker 1: who Kyle is, so I will just delete the request.
Speaker 1: And I get quite a few of these, I think,
Speaker 1: because people find out my real name and then they
Speaker 1: friend request me, and that's very sweet and I really
Speaker 1: I appreciate that, but I don't want to have a
Speaker 1: bunch of friends that I don't know who you are.
Speaker 4: But then why are you adding them? Then?
Speaker 1: No, I don't, I absolutely don't, So I just absolutely just.
Speaker 4: I thought you said it was his birthday.
Speaker 1: No, I'm sorry. That was not his birthday. No, it
Speaker 1: was just somebody whose name popped out. I don't have
Speaker 1: any birthdays today. Let me sell my birthday.
Speaker 2: And I'm trying to look at my it's his birthday.
Speaker 4: It's Justin's birthday, which was yesterday, and I forgot to
Speaker 4: say happy birthday because I'm a bad friend.
Speaker 1: And now no, yeah, I don't see any birthdays today.
Speaker 1: So anyway, two and.
Speaker 2: Sixty eight print requests waiting in limbo because I just
Speaker 2: don't confirm more deny them.
Speaker 1: How many friends you have on Facebook?
Speaker 2: That's a good question I have.
Speaker 1: I have nine hundred and eighty.
Speaker 2: Four thirteen hundred.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, you got a bunch, that's why.
Speaker 2: And I can promise you I know maybe half of them.
Speaker 2: So that's why I go through on birthdays. And I
Speaker 2: started leaving people.
Speaker 1: Yeah I think you know, and people would feel the
Speaker 1: same way about me. It's like, yeah, I know Dave,
Speaker 1: but you know, I don't really know him well enough
Speaker 1: to like, you know, care, so I'm sure people delete
Speaker 1: me whatever. Fallon used to complain that she's like, I
Speaker 1: got four new followers today, but I lost forty three.
Speaker 1: So and I you know, I get that I don't
Speaker 1: really keep track that much. We're really kind of out
Speaker 1: of emails for the Minnesota goodbye, so I don't want
Speaker 1: to make this a short one. Is there anything you
Speaker 1: want to rant about or bring up anybody.
Speaker 2: I will say that I made my costume for boubash
Speaker 2: last night and very well. I was a jellyfish. And
Speaker 2: I will say though that, like I should have done
Speaker 2: more padding or something, because I did have to go
Speaker 2: in the back room a couple times and take my
Speaker 2: head piece off because it hurts. Yes, because I made
Speaker 2: it out of Amazon boxes and people are like, oh,
Speaker 2: that looks so comfy. Is it just heavy? And I
Speaker 2: was like, it's not the heaviness, it's the fact that
Speaker 2: I've got boxes jamming into my forest.
Speaker 1: No cushioning, no cushioning it like get that.
Speaker 4: I feel like we both could have used some extra
Speaker 4: planning because I had the cutest bear ears that I
Speaker 4: made and it really made the whole outfit. And I
Speaker 4: didn't have like a wide enough bass for them, so
Speaker 4: when I clipped them into my hair they.
Speaker 1: Flopped over it.
Speaker 4: Oh god, it was so stupid. And then it like, man,
Speaker 4: the second that didn't work, I was like, well, Halloween
Speaker 4: is ruined, so I learned a valuable lesson to you know,
Speaker 4: test everything that you're making before you wear it.
Speaker 1: Good point, M. It's kind of a episode today, but
Speaker 1: I think that's going to do it for the Minnesota goodbye.
Speaker 1: Have a good weekend. We thrive on your emails, so
Speaker 1: please send those for Mondays, Minnesota. Goodbye. And if you've
Speaker 1: never written in and you want to write something in,
Speaker 1: we read your email. We probably will. We read pretty
Speaker 1: much everything. Then give us your address. We'll send you
Speaker 1: a staff writer sticker to put on your yetdi yeah,
Speaker 1: to put on your Stanley, to put on your laptop,
Speaker 1: and just send that to Ryan Show at kadiwb dot com.
Speaker 1: Have a great weekend. Thank you for listening.
