Speaker 1: All right, let's dive into today's Minnesota Goodbye. I was
Speaker 1: you ever listen to a podcast that's just so dry
Speaker 1: and so bad that, like, I actually rated a podcast
Speaker 1: the other day because I was like going out for
Speaker 1: a walk, or I was on the I think I
Speaker 1: was on the stair stepper over at Snap and I
Speaker 1: was like, okay, I need a new podcast, and I
Speaker 1: run out of this one, and so I listened to
Speaker 1: one and it was like maybe I don't know. I
Speaker 1: don't want to pick on anybody, but it was a
Speaker 1: history podcast. So you go back through and you look
Speaker 1: at all the episodes and you go, oh, here's one
Speaker 1: on the Hindenberg disaster.
Speaker 2: Expect those to be kind of dryer now, but some.
Speaker 1: People do a really good job with sound effects and
Speaker 1: music and producing them and interview clips or whatever. And
Speaker 1: this one was just so dry that I became Karen
Speaker 1: and I left a review and I said, and I did,
Speaker 1: And I remember I was on the treadmill the stepper
Speaker 1: at Snap and I was looking at the guy next
Speaker 1: to me. He had earbuds in so he couldn't hear
Speaker 1: me leaving a bad review, because I thought he would
Speaker 1: think I was a real idiot for leaving a bad review,
Speaker 1: like you know, there I am on this yer, so.
Speaker 3: Yes, I was, Oh my god, I least just text
Speaker 3: that one out.
Speaker 1: I can't. You can't step, Jenny.
Speaker 3: And you can't step without using your hand, No, you can,
Speaker 3: you can. I go to his stereometic clause all the time.
Speaker 3: If you're going slow enough, you can.
Speaker 1: Okay, how many steps a minute do you go? I
Speaker 1: go about forty eight to fifty one steps a minute,
Speaker 1: which sounds slow, but that's a pretty good clip.
Speaker 3: I don't really know because we the classes I take,
Speaker 3: I go from like there's like a base level and
Speaker 3: then there's like a sprinting level, so it depends on
Speaker 3: what they have us doing in that way.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, I go about forty eight. Is on level
Speaker 1: five forty eight or fifty one steps per minute, which
Speaker 1: is about as much as I can handle. And so
Speaker 1: I'm listening to this podcast and it's really dry, and
Speaker 1: it was like it was something about this fog, like
Speaker 1: the Marsden fog or something that swept over part of
Speaker 1: the country in the forties, and it was some sort
Speaker 1: of poisonous fog that killed dozens of people. Really, and
Speaker 1: the guy who is doing. It explained fog and why
Speaker 1: fog happens, and the difference between smog and fog, and
Speaker 1: did you know that smog is a combination of smoke
Speaker 1: and fog. And he's going on with all his shit
Speaker 1: that nobody gives a fuck about, and I was like,
Speaker 1: get on with it. So I stopped because he never
Speaker 1: did get to did you look up Marsden Fogg.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's not called that, it's not called the Martin.
Speaker 1: It's some other fog that killed a lot of people
Speaker 1: in nineteen forty seventies.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Donora smog of nineteen forty eight, that sounds right, Yeah,
Speaker 2: Bettley Fogg that killed twenty people and sickened thousands in Denorra, Pennsylvania.
Speaker 2: There it is fascinating.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's it. So I thought, okay, well that sounds interesting.
Speaker 1: Here's a piece of history I've never learned about. So
Speaker 1: I'm listening to this and he's going on and on
Speaker 1: about the difference between smog and smoke and fog, and
Speaker 1: then he takes forever to get to it, no music,
Speaker 1: no sound effects, and I was like, this is the
Speaker 1: most dry podcast I said. I never got I didn't
Speaker 1: get into it. And I finally had to turn it off,
Speaker 1: so I left a snarky two star review.
Speaker 4: What star?
Speaker 1: Two star? And I think this is a common thing.
Speaker 1: I've noticed this in the radio business. You can find
Speaker 1: somebody who's an expert on something. They know everything, but
Speaker 1: they're terrible on the radio.
Speaker 2: If they're remunicating.
Speaker 4: Huh, what was your review would you write?
Speaker 1: I wrote something like, this is the driest podcast ever.
Speaker 1: I said, this is a typical example of somebody who
Speaker 1: knows their stuff but does not know how to tell
Speaker 1: a story. And so it was kind of a dick
Speaker 1: But I don't care, you know, don't do a bit.
Speaker 1: So anyway, maybe we need more sound effects and music
Speaker 1: for our podcast, I got you. Okay, Well, no, I
Speaker 1: don't think we need Bailey's sound effects, but I will
Speaker 1: say that it wouldn't be cool if we had little
Speaker 1: like a little what they had on board soundboard. Remember
Speaker 1: you used to call people when like when you were
Speaker 1: in middle school, you would call people and use the
Speaker 1: soundboard to have the conversation with them. Okay, you remember this?
Speaker 2: What button would you press? Dave right now? The I
Speaker 2: don't want we have me and you?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I suppose anyway, is there a way we can
Speaker 1: spice it up. Maybe somebody listening can write us a
Speaker 1: theme song for the podcast.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we can't have it just depends though, because it's
Speaker 3: very tricky with music.
Speaker 1: Now, well, no, they write us, one write.
Speaker 4: Also, we have to have the rights to whatever music.
Speaker 1: It's too they know they we give us the rights.
Speaker 1: So for example, if I write a brand new original melody, yes,
Speaker 1: and I say, you guys have my permission to use this.
Speaker 4: I want them to compose a whole entire song.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, yeah, I'll not just play like a you know,
Speaker 1: a Sabrina Carpenter song. But if you compose a song
Speaker 1: and play it on your cassio keyboard, email it to
Speaker 1: Ryan Show at ktwbat dot com. We might use that
Speaker 1: as the official theme song to open and close the
Speaker 1: Minnesota Goodbye Great.
Speaker 2: Spice it up a little bit, and then I'll do
Speaker 2: sound effects.
Speaker 1: I don't think it's necessary, but garbage disposal, Sarah writes
Speaker 1: in she says, hello, you crazy cats, Let's talk social
Speaker 1: media etiquette posting a picture of the bride or the
Speaker 1: groom before they post pictures.
Speaker 4: Jenny, no party file.
Speaker 3: Well, okay, hold on on a story to say like
Speaker 3: congratulations or something.
Speaker 4: I feel like you should be able.
Speaker 2: To right because it takes forever for the professional photos
Speaker 2: to come out.
Speaker 3: But now I'm questioning myself because I posted a photo
Speaker 3: of a wedding the summer, and then I had a
Speaker 3: video of the couple dancing in it.
Speaker 2: I think if the wedding if somewhere on their little
Speaker 2: program that they give you, if it has use hashtag
Speaker 2: blah blah blah, let's get hitched to know, like, oh,
Speaker 2: show off your photos and show that you're here. If
Speaker 2: they have a hashtag, then you can post as many
Speaker 2: pictures as you want. Okay, yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: But do people do that? Do people actually like, Oh,
Speaker 1: I'm at the wedding, so I'm at the wedding, I
Speaker 1: post a picture of the ceremony as it's still going on.
Speaker 1: Do people do that?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: So, because I will say that, my one friend got
Speaker 3: married and she was so hyped because I had taken
Speaker 3: like a lot of fun videos of behind the scenes
Speaker 3: of the reception and she was like, God, You're always
Speaker 3: so good at capturing the moments, Like thanks for doing this.
Speaker 4: She was happy.
Speaker 1: Another email to Ryan Show at kadiwb dot com let
Speaker 1: me push the right tag here and okay, here we
Speaker 1: go to add to the discussion, says Angela about sitting
Speaker 1: at concerts. If I'm at a concert form my favorite artist,
Speaker 1: I'm in the front row, I am standing the entire time.
Speaker 1: I will always be mindful of my surroundings too, but
Speaker 1: I am there to have a good time. I've been
Speaker 1: in lower level, club level, and most people stand. I've
Speaker 1: never been around people that tell others they need to
Speaker 1: sit if they are sitting. We had a big discussion
Speaker 1: yesterday about standing at concerts and whether it's okay to stand,
Speaker 1: and some people think that all right, stand for a
Speaker 1: little bit, but don't stand for the whole thing. I
Speaker 1: think it depends on the song, it depends on the artist.
Speaker 1: It depends on the age of the crowd. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: guess I mean, okay, Taylor Swift, I did not go.
Speaker 1: But there's kind of an not in all ages, but
Speaker 1: definitely from probably eight years old up to about thirty
Speaker 1: five probably is crowd. Probably mostly women, a lot of
Speaker 1: moms with their daughters. Did people stand or sit?
Speaker 4: I say both? I don't know.
Speaker 2: How was that concert good? Good? You're a woman of.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all the hype also to Bailey. My daughter was
Speaker 1: also chosen at Universal Harry Potter. I don't have her
Speaker 1: wand chosen for her, and it was so cool. What
Speaker 1: does that even mean?
Speaker 2: So, like, you go into this wand shop and it's
Speaker 2: it's Ollivander's wand Shop, and you go in and then
Speaker 2: this guy who's dressed up like he's an old wand
Speaker 2: wizard guy, he's like, hello, welcome to my shop, like
Speaker 2: the wand chooses the wizard and blah blah blah. And
Speaker 2: you're in a big group, kind of like a tour
Speaker 2: group almost, and then they just like look at you
Speaker 2: and they go like, you there, you look like you
Speaker 2: need a wand is that correct? And they pick me
Speaker 2: every time because I look excited to be there, I guess.
Speaker 2: And then you end up like walking up to the
Speaker 2: little counter and then there are all these like cute
Speaker 2: little like practical magic effects that they have happened to
Speaker 2: make it look like you're doing actual magic.
Speaker 1: Oh, so they give you.
Speaker 2: Different wands and you wave them and then like yeah,
Speaker 2: then they give you three wands, and on your third
Speaker 2: wand a light comes up from the bottom of the desk,
Speaker 2: so it looks like you're illuminated and then a wind
Speaker 2: comes up, so you look like, oh, this is the
Speaker 2: wand for you. But then they sell it to you, and.
Speaker 4: Of course do you get it for free?
Speaker 2: No, you don't get it for free. They But because
Speaker 2: I've been picked twice, I have two wands because I'm like, well,
Speaker 2: I got to memorialize this moment.
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm going to tell you, mister spoiled pants. My
Speaker 1: son Carson has probably six or eight one six or
Speaker 1: eight yes, wow, because we've been there a couple of
Speaker 1: times and he's like, I want a wah, I want
Speaker 1: a wand. And it's like and I saw them in
Speaker 1: his closet, because what do you do with a wand
Speaker 1: when you get.
Speaker 2: It home, it's sitting in my room at my mom's home.
Speaker 1: You put it in your closet. So he's got six
Speaker 1: or eight ones in his bedroom closet. He hasn't lived
Speaker 1: at home in five issu years. And I said, do
Speaker 1: you want to sell? No? And I'm like, well we
Speaker 1: can probably go on ebit.
Speaker 4: No.
Speaker 1: No, And I'm like you never to know, so I
Speaker 1: don't know, but I will tell you. Last time we
Speaker 1: were at Harry Potter World, I think was back in
Speaker 1: no January or something, I don't remember exactly, and he
Speaker 1: it was so cute because he loved Harry Potter. It
Speaker 1: was really the only book that he really read when
Speaker 1: he was a kid. And I don't know, it's like,
Speaker 1: which house do you live in? Is that what you do?
Speaker 2: Which house are you in? Not? So?
Speaker 1: Yeah, So he would go back and talk to some
Speaker 1: guy who worked at the Harry Potter store. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: he would, you know that he And I remember watching
Speaker 1: him nod and answer questions and with a kind of
Speaker 1: a shy, awkward smile on his face as the guy's like,
Speaker 1: do you this? Do you this? And he's like, Okay,
Speaker 1: you're in the blah blah blah.
Speaker 2: What what house is he in?
Speaker 1: It was the same as you, I believe.
Speaker 2: I don't think it's the same as me. Okay, I
Speaker 2: don't know, then, Jenny, what house are you in?
Speaker 4: I was in Slytherin when I was like chosen.
Speaker 2: I sound unhappy about that?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 4: I was very unhappy about Oh.
Speaker 2: I was thrilled.
Speaker 4: Oh no, I wanted to be in Gryffindor. I wanted
Speaker 4: to be where Harry Potter.
Speaker 1: Was because I sent somebody a picture and I thought
Speaker 1: it was you, and I said, Carson's getting his house show.
Speaker 2: You must have. Then it must be Slytherin. Yeah, yea
Speaker 2: yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: And you said you're in the same house as me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, yeah, then Slytherin. So that's the evil one.
Speaker 1: That's the evil one. Yes, okay, makes no sense to me.
Speaker 1: You might as smell speaking Mandarin Chinese. I never you know,
Speaker 1: I totally respect Harry Potter. I respect like the success
Speaker 1: of the Harry Potter series. I read the first chapter
Speaker 1: and I realized, you know, I don't like wizards. I
Speaker 1: don't like you know, spells. It's just not my You
Speaker 1: don't like fun, that's the real I like fun, but
Speaker 1: I like it like airplanes. Have airplanes in there, horses, airplanes.
Speaker 2: Cowboys that fly.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're playing quidditch. I do another plane quidditch?
Speaker 2: What hippogriff flies?
Speaker 1: Yeah. So the first Harry Potter movie, Alison and I
Speaker 1: went to it together and it was at the theater.
Speaker 1: I want to say, it's not there anymore. In Shockapy.
Speaker 1: It's on a Sunday, snowy Sunday afternoon. Alison and I
Speaker 1: went and they had the TV on in the lobby
Speaker 1: the people behind the concessions counter. We're watching the Vikings game.
Speaker 1: The Harry Potter movie was like just get it over with.
Speaker 1: So every ten minutes I would go out and watch
Speaker 1: the Vikings game with the kid that worked at the concessions.
Speaker 2: Ste Do you hate fun?
Speaker 1: I just don't care about Harry Potter. To me, it's
Speaker 1: like silliness and I will give you and I'm not complaining.
Speaker 1: The Harry Potter ride at Universal should be called the Vomitron.
Speaker 1: It is such fun. It's in a such an aggressive ride.
Speaker 4: It's one where you.
Speaker 1: Sit on something and it spins you around that it
Speaker 1: shows you projected images on the wall and it makes
Speaker 1: it look like you're flying a million miles an hour,
Speaker 1: and it, you know, jumps around and turns and twists
Speaker 1: to make it. It's like a simulated motion yees kind
Speaker 1: of a ride. Fuck me Blue, it's so seriously that
Speaker 1: ride makes me sick.
Speaker 2: Can I give a tip to all of our listeners
Speaker 2: about that ride. If you're in Harry Potter World and
Speaker 2: you want to go on that ride that's inside of
Speaker 2: the castle, pretend that you left something in the lockers
Speaker 2: that are inside, and you'll skip half the line. What
Speaker 2: because there's like a line locker outside of the castle,
Speaker 2: and then once you get inside the castle, there are
Speaker 2: lockers because you have to lock your stuff up so
Speaker 2: it doesn't fall out. And then you have the rest
Speaker 2: of the line and just skip it.
Speaker 1: Ha. And we are now out of time. We're headed
Speaker 1: out to the do the freeway cleanup, so we are
Speaker 1: a little bit short on time today, also a little
Speaker 1: bit short on emails and send those in. Some people
Speaker 1: did send links in that I did not get to
Speaker 1: look at, but I will examine those probably for tomorrow's
Speaker 1: Minnesota Goodbye. We love a link though. We do send
Speaker 1: those into Ryan Show at KATIWB dot com. Bring up
Speaker 1: a new topic, bring up something that has not been
Speaker 1: brought up, something that you have a question about, something
Speaker 1: that you want to comment on, anything like that. We
Speaker 1: love your emails. It's always a lot of fun for
Speaker 1: us to do because we on the rest of the show,
Speaker 1: we know what's going to happen at a lot of
Speaker 1: the time, but on Minnesota Goodbye, we have no idea
Speaker 1: what you're going to write about, and it keeps it
Speaker 1: a lot of fun. Send it to Ryan Show at
Speaker 1: KATIWB dot com. Thank you for listening and
