Speaker 1: And here we go with a Minnesota goodbybe and feeling
Speaker 1: a little bit off all day today and things because
Speaker 1: I woke up at two thirty in the morning to
Speaker 1: go pee. Well I woke up and I didn't want
Speaker 1: to pee, because if you go pee, then you wake
Speaker 1: all the way up. And I'm like, okay, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go pee. I go pee, come back to bed. I
Speaker 1: lay there about an hour and fifteen minutes or maybe more,
Speaker 1: and then I get back to sleep just in time
Speaker 1: for the alarm clock to go off. So I got
Speaker 1: about four and a half hours of sleep last night.
Speaker 2: That's not a lot.
Speaker 3: That's not not a lot. That's about what I get.
Speaker 1: Yeah, is it? No?
Speaker 3: I averaged more like five and a.
Speaker 1: Half every night.
Speaker 3: Well yeah, week nights.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel like I lost out when I get six,
Speaker 2: But now I'm just kind of used to getting six,
Speaker 2: so it's all right. It's not the end of the world.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. It's just anyway. So I'm a
Speaker 1: little bit like sideways today. Anyway, I thought it was
Speaker 1: a little fun fact here from Tracy writes in and said,
Speaker 1: is Tracy from the Shine Down Cruise. You might not
Speaker 1: remember me, but I'll never forget that night meeting you all.
Speaker 1: It was a highlight of my summer and quite possibly
Speaker 1: my life.
Speaker 2: Okay, that's very I remember you, Tracy.
Speaker 1: And she goes on to talk about how the morning
Speaker 1: shows talked about the State Fair every single year in
Speaker 1: the past. I've never been so disappointed that I didn't
Speaker 1: get to go and see you guys. I figured it out.
Speaker 1: That's because the four of you are true magic and
Speaker 1: so relatable. I find it so cup filling to be
Speaker 1: around you and share a little moment of life together.
Speaker 1: That is very, very sweet. So she was talking about
Speaker 1: how she wasn't able to see us at the State
Speaker 1: Fair and which sucks because you know, our schedules don't
Speaker 1: always align with your schedule, and we were out there
Speaker 1: a lot. But I know, you know, you got to
Speaker 1: work and you got life going on.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And then they talk a very cool story about how
Speaker 1: their dad built the beer castle at the Renaissance Fair
Speaker 1: back in the mid eighties. Nice and it's still there
Speaker 1: and it's been several different things. They used to sell
Speaker 1: nuts there and they would say, come beneath the King's Nuts, Yes,
Speaker 1: And I had no idea what that meant until I
Speaker 1: got older. The cool part is my dad only took
Speaker 1: partial payment, and the other part of the payment was
Speaker 1: free admission for our family to the Renaissance Fair. For years,
Speaker 1: we went all the time, very nostalgic. I'm not sure
Speaker 1: if dad is still around or what. But that building
Speaker 1: is now forty years old and her dad built it
Speaker 1: and she puts a picture of that in there, So Tracy,
Speaker 1: I'll swing it around there, Bailey, do you recognize that?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 1: I do.
Speaker 2: I think they sell mead there and they still sell
Speaker 2: like beer. Yeah, what is mead? Mead is a honey alcohol,
Speaker 2: so it's kind of it's got like a similar kind
Speaker 2: of feel to like soake, but it's sweeter.
Speaker 3: They will always bring it up when he says that
Speaker 3: I dress like I work at the Renaissance Festival, and
Speaker 3: I just pretend like I've known what it is for years.
Speaker 3: But I would like it, you know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you would like it.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Susan had some yesterday. We went yesterday with the
Speaker 1: girls to the Renaissance Festival. We went by the chocolate
Speaker 1: booth that you normally worked at, and there's a woman
Speaker 1: out there who's probably liked and going chocolate, get your chocolate,
Speaker 1: chocolate and you said that you feel weird working at
Speaker 1: the Renaissance Festival because you're older than everybody.
Speaker 2: Now I am. When I started working there, I was
Speaker 2: like one of three women who were like in their
Speaker 2: late twenties early thirties, and now I am the only
Speaker 2: person who is over eighteen that I work with. So
Speaker 2: everybody is a teenager in high school, and some of
Speaker 2: them have the worst work ethic.
Speaker 1: I thought you're gonna say body odor.
Speaker 2: No, no, okay, none of them smell, which is nice.
Speaker 2: They're bad ethic, yeah, awful work ethic. But like one
Speaker 2: of them, like his dad is one of the performers,
Speaker 2: so he's like, well, I guess I'll have my kid
Speaker 2: work here. But god, that kid is a terrible worker.
Speaker 2: And it's like him and his like doofy buddy, and
Speaker 2: I just like, I don't like when people who are
Speaker 2: teenagers boss me around. I don't like that because I'm
Speaker 2: their manager, and I don't think they know that I'm
Speaker 2: the manager. But when I say, do to boss you, Okay,
Speaker 2: So we have to go and get chocolate from like
Speaker 2: a refrigerator so it doesn't sit outside melt all day.
Speaker 2: So we have to make like runs to go and
Speaker 2: get stock. And so literally all I said to this
Speaker 2: kid was could you go and get some more strawberries?
Speaker 2: And he looked at me dead in the face, and
Speaker 2: he said, why can't you go? Oh oh my god,
Speaker 2: Oh I said bad. I said, I said, well, I
Speaker 2: need you to go and get it. He's like, I've
Speaker 2: been getting them all day. And I said, well, sometimes
Speaker 2: that's a part of your job. Yeah, oh my god,
Speaker 2: I cannot. And so I kept having to tell these
Speaker 2: dopey boys like you guys gotta stop chatting. They'd be like,
Speaker 2: can we go and break together? Like okay, fine, you
Speaker 2: can go and break together in this lull of time,
Speaker 2: and then they're gone for like forty minutes, But like,
Speaker 2: where are the where are the boys? Like what is
Speaker 2: happening right now?
Speaker 1: I think that you are not the first person who's
Speaker 1: thirty three or thirty four to say these kids have
Speaker 1: got no work ethic. I actually hear that a lot
Speaker 1: and I and I think that, man, if you are
Speaker 1: eighteen or twenty two years old, then you've got a
Speaker 1: great work ethic. Yeah, you are going to shine, yes,
Speaker 1: because you know, let me know, because if you work
Speaker 1: with younger people and we're not we don't want to
Speaker 1: be the show that's like, bah, these children, these youth
Speaker 1: of today. Yeah, but if you work with younger people,
Speaker 1: let me know whether you think that they have a
Speaker 1: great work ethic.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I won't say that they're all bad, because like,
Speaker 2: some of them are good. It's just I feel like
Speaker 2: it's strange to me because I've done retail for so
Speaker 2: long to have to explain that you need to say
Speaker 2: hello to someone when they walk up, because some of them, like, yeah,
Speaker 2: they have decent work ethic, they're like decent at their job,
Speaker 2: but they'll just smile at someone when someone walks up
Speaker 2: and I'm like say something, Yeah, you need to speak
Speaker 2: right now, and they're like, oh okay, Hi, Like hello,
Speaker 2: can I interest you in some chocolate today? Oh? Here's
Speaker 2: what we have? This? This this like you have to
Speaker 2: talk to the people, you guys. You can't just stand
Speaker 2: there and stare at them.
Speaker 1: I was at the Renaissance Festival yesterday and it was
Speaker 1: kind of funny, speaking of work ethic. When you park,
Speaker 1: you know, they direct you down this row and there's
Speaker 1: somebody with a flag that's like, you know, park here.
Speaker 1: There was a woman and two guys probably all around
Speaker 1: eighteen years old. She was doing all the work. The
Speaker 1: guys were standing there with their flag limply hanging at
Speaker 1: their side, doing nothing, and she was the one directing
Speaker 1: people in and Susan was the one that brought it up.
Speaker 1: She's like, why did they need three people to do that?
Speaker 1: The other two are literally standing there doing nothing, and
Speaker 1: I'm like, well, the Renaissance Festival could save a little
Speaker 1: bit of money by hiring a few less people to
Speaker 1: stand there with an orange flag. Next email, Good morning, everybody.
Speaker 1: Just want to share that last year we made it
Speaker 1: to the fairy were all there and my excited son
Speaker 1: Mason got to beat all of you. Dave did a
Speaker 1: magic trick with him and we got pictures in, chatted
Speaker 1: and made some great memories. This year, we didn't make
Speaker 1: it out until yesterday. Despite this child of mine crashing
Speaker 1: his bike the night before and skirting his toenail on
Speaker 1: the ground off on the ground, he was still pumped
Speaker 1: to walk around all day and hoped to see you.
Speaker 1: We made it to the booth and saw Bailey. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Mason and Mindy, Yep, that's exactly right. We went up
Speaker 1: and talked to her for a while about her Pronto
Speaker 1: puppy ear rings which you're wearing right to know and
Speaker 1: the show, and she offered me a dart Lick shirt.
Speaker 1: As she went to go look for it, my ten
Speaker 1: year old looked at me and said dart Lick A.
Speaker 1: I quickly told him it was not appropriate shirt for
Speaker 1: kids and I would buy him a different shirt. Bailey
Speaker 1: then turned around and gave us both I'm calling HR shirts.
Speaker 1: He was so excited, so I want to say thank you, Bailey.
Speaker 1: She definitely didn't have to do that, but I'm grateful
Speaker 1: because he forgot about his sore toes for a while
Speaker 1: and now he has his shirt from his favorite morning show.
Speaker 1: I love that.
Speaker 2: Yay. They were talking about the Minnesota Goodbye, so I
Speaker 2: was like, Okay, these are like real true fans here.
Speaker 2: So I swear we had dart Lick shirts. I couldn't
Speaker 2: find any of them, but I'm calling HR were right there.
Speaker 2: Was like, well, Mason, you're not in HR yet because
Speaker 2: you're still in school, but I don't know you can
Speaker 2: be the only kids cool with an HR shirt.
Speaker 1: I love it. Thank you, Mason. That is Mindy and Blaine.
Speaker 1: I got your address, Mindy, so I will send you
Speaker 1: a staff writer shirt. Next one Happy September. First, where
Speaker 1: did the summer go? Dave, I've got a flying question.
Speaker 1: I was driving down one sixty nine a day and
Speaker 1: I saw a plane carrying an advertising sign behind it. Well,
Speaker 1: that's what they call a banner toe. So you get
Speaker 1: an airplane and it's towing around something this say, is
Speaker 1: like lining Googles or bown.
Speaker 3: What kept flying over the What was it? It was
Speaker 3: high noon. It's like a Seltzer drink or something.
Speaker 1: Okay, my question is does it make landing harder when descending?
Speaker 1: That's good question. They don't take off or land with
Speaker 1: the banner. They take off and then they fly over
Speaker 1: a field and they hook the banner with like it looks
Speaker 1: like a giant like fish hook that hooks the banner
Speaker 1: and then they pull it along the ground for a
Speaker 1: little while till they get some speed up, and then
Speaker 1: they take off with the banner. Then when they're done,
Speaker 1: they don't land with the banner. They drop it. They
Speaker 1: go buy the field again and they pull a release
Speaker 1: handle and they drop it onto the field. So now
Speaker 1: you know, well the more you know. Number two, do
Speaker 1: you have to have a special license or special approval
Speaker 1: to do that? With banners or advertisements. Yes, it is
Speaker 1: called the commercial license. So in other words, I can
Speaker 1: fly all I want, but I can't get paid for
Speaker 1: it or do it for hire. So, for example, if
Speaker 1: somebody said, Dave, will you take me up, I'm going
Speaker 1: to pay you two hundred dollars. I've got a photography business,
Speaker 1: and I will pay you two hundred dollars if you
Speaker 1: take me up so I can take pictures. I can't
Speaker 1: do that because I am not commercially allowed to get paid.
Speaker 1: So they have a commercial license if you don't get approval.
Speaker 1: If you have to get approval and don't, is there
Speaker 1: a fine? Yeah, if they catch You're really random, I know,
Speaker 1: But Dave is the only pilot I could ask love.
Speaker 1: The show is always keep on keeping on dart, lickety
Speaker 1: lickety dart dart. Very creative.
Speaker 3: Lucas a different kind of skill to be able to
Speaker 3: fly those banners than what you have and have learned.
Speaker 1: I probably could do it, but to get the commercial
Speaker 1: license you have to learn a lot more, and that's
Speaker 1: just something I've never been interested in. So mine allows
Speaker 1: me to go up, take friends, take family, I can
Speaker 1: even I can take strangers. Whatever I cannot charge you
Speaker 1: for it, but we can share expenses. So that is
Speaker 1: a really vague thing. So let's say if the flight
Speaker 1: costs two hundred dollars, and I can't charge Jenny the
Speaker 1: entire two hundred dollars, but we can share expenses. But
Speaker 1: that's where it gets a little bit vague. Like I
Speaker 1: could charge Jenny one hundred and ninety nine dollars of
Speaker 1: it and I pay one dollar, and we're still sharing expenses.
Speaker 1: But I can't, like, you know, like Jenny and her
Speaker 1: friends all want to go to Eau Claire for the weekend.
Speaker 1: I can't say, Okay, yeah, fifty dollars a piece, hop in.
Speaker 1: I can't do that, but you can if you are
Speaker 1: a commercially licensed pilot. Let's see next one. Hello Davin,
Speaker 1: who current and past? Michael? I guess this is her
Speaker 1: son and that is him there in the picture that
Speaker 1: you can't see. Grow up listening to the Dave Ryan Show.
Speaker 1: It's his favorite. He's been on the show twice and
Speaker 1: recently called in on No Phone Screen or Friday to
Speaker 1: tell you how important you all are and how happy
Speaker 1: you make people through the radio. He is genuinely your
Speaker 1: number one fan. Yesterday was his eighth birthday and all
Speaker 1: he wanted to do was meet Vaunt at the fair.
Speaker 1: Not only did Vaant take his picture with him, but
Speaker 1: he talked to him for a good while about the fair,
Speaker 1: school and his birthday. Then he gave him this HR shirt.
Speaker 1: He will grow into it and it made his entire day.
Speaker 1: At nine pm on the bus, we asked what was
Speaker 1: his favorite thing of the fair, and with no hesitation,
Speaker 1: he said, Vaunt, for sure.
Speaker 2: Ah, you have to forward with this, Davant for sure.
Speaker 1: So for the bottom of my heart, thank you for
Speaker 1: all the joy you bring your listeners and for making
Speaker 1: my eight year old son's day every morning. That's from
Speaker 1: Eron and Michael. That's vont leak forward that right now. Okay,
Speaker 1: I think we have time for maybe one or two more. Okay, Hi,
Speaker 1: I like that greeting. Okay Hi, It's been a while
Speaker 1: since I've written in, but just catching up on Thursday's
Speaker 1: show podcast and Vaunt is talking about grandparents' names and
Speaker 1: I had to share because Vaunt says his mom wants
Speaker 1: to be called Gig if she becomes a grandparent. Growing up,
Speaker 1: we called one of our grandma's GG because my oldest
Speaker 1: cousin called her that first and it stuck. And then
Speaker 1: since we were so unorginal, my sister and I for
Speaker 1: our other grandma grandmother called her gog g go go
Speaker 1: gog goggy gogo. Okay, I'm not shitting you. We called
Speaker 1: her that or shortened to go go her entire life.
Speaker 1: I think that's great. Lastly, my mom with my kids
Speaker 1: and her other grandkids my sister's kids, is called yah Ya.
Speaker 1: She kind of pushed the agenda with that name, but
Speaker 1: she loves it, and now the five grandkids call her
Speaker 1: ya Ya and would never call her grandma. Ps change
Speaker 1: of subject. I like Bailey's thirst trap picture. Cute and sassy,
Speaker 1: but modas very demure.
Speaker 2: Very mind Thank you, very tom. We're very mindful.
Speaker 1: Love you guys from your fellow and over and over
Speaker 1: Ian and over Ian Okay, grade below Bailey, that is Carrie.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Carrie, appreciate that. And as is there they
Speaker 1: are husky, where the cool? Who was your rival back then?
Speaker 3: Oh? No?
Speaker 2: Tornadoes?
Speaker 1: Oh really?
Speaker 2: Yeah? We would say we're the real a town, even
Speaker 2: though they were there first. But we'd be like, yeah,
Speaker 2: but we're the real ones. It was stupid.
Speaker 1: That's funny, Okay, next one, from Kevin. I'm going to
Speaker 1: shorten it up a little bit just because we're getting
Speaker 1: short on time. Glad to hear you're doing well. Congrats
Speaker 1: Dave on hiking Pike's Peak. First of all, I know
Speaker 1: it's out of your control, but I want to bring
Speaker 1: it to your attention. I heard somebody last week mentioned
Speaker 1: hearing ninety seconds of commercials, which prompted me to write
Speaker 1: in I Return with Vacation two weeks ago, and ever
Speaker 1: since then, I've been getting a ton more ads on
Speaker 1: the iHeart app. We're talking three minutes of continuous ads
Speaker 1: smack in the middle of the podcast, rather than the
Speaker 1: usual thirty to sixty seconds. As all. He's the worst
Speaker 1: is when they cut right in the middle of your conversations.
Speaker 1: But I digress. I know it's not your fault. Just
Speaker 1: wanted to make sure you were aware seeing pass it
Speaker 1: on the powers that be. I know it's never worked before,
Speaker 1: but it's worth a shot. Secondly, somebody yesterday wrote in
Speaker 1: saying they saw a post from a local restaurant announcing
Speaker 1: Drake as a Raffle winner, but referring to him as Dave.
Speaker 1: I was wondering if anybody had heard any updates on this.
Speaker 1: I found the post myself and was surprised nobody else
Speaker 1: had noticed it as of yet. I zoomed in on
Speaker 1: the check and was able to make out the last name,
Speaker 1: which was Drake's last name, and so there's no question
Speaker 1: that's him. Inquiring minds are curious, is he going to
Speaker 1: college hence en rolling in a back to school raffle?
Speaker 1: Best of luck to Drake, Dave or whatever his name is.
Speaker 1: I don't think we have any more information on that
Speaker 1: at all, do we?
Speaker 3: No, we don't. I haven't talked off.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm I'm living for the commitment to the zooming
Speaker 2: in on the check though, like.
Speaker 3: One, I zoomed in on it too, because it does
Speaker 3: a Dave on the channe.
Speaker 1: But his real name is not Dave, unless he's been
Speaker 1: telling me, you.
Speaker 3: Know, no, not a his real name is not Dave.
Speaker 3: That's why it's all very very strange.
Speaker 1: But yeah, yeah, anyway, thanks for always bringing joy to
Speaker 1: my workdays. And sorry I couldn't catch it at the fair.
Speaker 1: I did meet Dave when I was fifteen. I've sent
Speaker 1: the photo in an earlier email, but I've yet to
Speaker 1: run into any of you again. Hopefully our past cross
Speaker 1: again in the future. All right from Kevin. Thank you, Kevin.
Speaker 1: I appreciate that. When our next big event is Bailey's
Speaker 1: birthday party, heck yeah, which is coming up on September nineteenth.
Speaker 1: That's what's it called again.
Speaker 2: It's at Forgotten Star Brewing, Okay, and we don't have
Speaker 2: all the details yet, so obviously keep an eye.
Speaker 1: Out for that from by five until seven on September nineteenth. Also,
Speaker 1: I just get a little plug in here on for
Speaker 1: Rogers' Rescue Ride and the Pause for Pause cribbage tournament,
Speaker 1: which is coming up on the twelfth.
Speaker 2: Oh, I have that right in my planner. It's the eleventh.
Speaker 1: Is it the eleventh Wednesday? And that's going to be
Speaker 1: a Broken Clock Brewing.
Speaker 3: I know you were doing another one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's kind of flown under the radar a little
Speaker 1: bit because we've had so much to talk about that.
Speaker 1: I haven't really talked that much about it. But if
Speaker 1: you play cribbage and you want to win some cool
Speaker 1: prizes and it's a fundraiser for Pause for Pause, just
Speaker 1: google search. It's a messed up website name for Pause
Speaker 1: for Pause and they hate it as much as I do.
Speaker 1: But it's pa u s E the number four, then
Speaker 1: pause PAWS so you're pausing for pause, p A U
Speaker 1: s E the number four, PAWS MN dot O RG.
Speaker 1: So it is just a crappy web address. They know it,
Speaker 1: I know it. But if you go on there and
Speaker 1: click on events, you can sign up for either the
Speaker 1: Rescue Ride or the cribbage tournament. And that is going
Speaker 1: to wrap it up for today's Minnesota Goodbye Ryan Show
Speaker 1: at KDWB dot com
