Speaker 1: Let's get into the minasorta goodbye. Now let's start with
Speaker 1: this one. Aaron in Plymouth is talking about Lo Choi
Speaker 1: Can Chow Main. Now, now we talked about this. It
Speaker 1: was the most random thing ever that came up that
Speaker 1: I don't think they even make it anymore. But Aaron,
Speaker 1: I think erin is probably closest to my age. I'm
Speaker 1: not really sure. He says. Last week you spoke about
Speaker 1: Lo Choi can Chow Maine. You said the bottom can
Speaker 1: was for the chow main and the top part was
Speaker 1: for the crispy noodles. As of once advid consumer of
Speaker 1: that very product, I can assure you that your memories
Speaker 1: are incorrect. The top can contain the meaty gravy beef
Speaker 1: or chicken, and the bottom held the vegetables. They were
Speaker 1: kept separate so the vegetables wouldn't get soggy. The crispy
Speaker 1: noodles were sold separately in a blue plastic bag. Bone appetite,
Speaker 1: Aaron in Plymouth, My memory is completely different. But you
Speaker 1: know what, Sometimes your memory it is so certain of something,
Speaker 1: but you're wrong. And I'll tell you a quick story.
Speaker 1: So I've thought about getting a rowing machine and Susan said,
Speaker 1: we used to have a rowing machine and you never
Speaker 1: used it and we gave it away. I said, no,
Speaker 1: we did not, and she said no we did. I said, well,
Speaker 1: describe it. She's like, well, I don't know. It's a
Speaker 1: rowing machine. I said, they'd have a screen on it.
Speaker 1: She said, yeah, it had like a you know, a
Speaker 1: timer and whatever. When she's like, I don't know, fifteen
Speaker 1: is years ago, I said, I don't think so. And
Speaker 1: I said I'm going to text Allison and Carson to
Speaker 1: see if they remember it being in the house. Within seconds,
Speaker 1: they both wrote back and said, yeah, yeah, we had
Speaker 1: a rowing machine. Yeah, I have zero memory. And I
Speaker 1: was certain that she was making this up in her mind.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So sometimes, don't you think we get these false memories?
Speaker 3: Well, I think in general, because that's the whole thing
Speaker 3: about like the Mandela effect, is that you think you
Speaker 3: have this idea of something, but then everybody else also
Speaker 3: had that same idea of something, so I believe in
Speaker 3: it for sure.
Speaker 1: Like the Sinbad movie that never took place right, or.
Speaker 2: The Berenstein Bears instead of the Bears, Stain Bears, and
Speaker 2: blah blah blah. There's like a list of all.
Speaker 1: The different ones that of all the things we think
Speaker 1: we remember, I.
Speaker 3: Swear five guys was five guys and fries. It's not
Speaker 3: called five guys and fries. But I swore that really name.
Speaker 3: And I remember telling somebody that like, oh, yeah, it's
Speaker 3: five guys, but it's actually five guys and fries. And
Speaker 3: they just don't want to put the entire name on
Speaker 3: the sign, and they're like, what are you talking about?
Speaker 1: Okay, b dubs. Buffalo Wild Wings used to be called
Speaker 1: Buffalo Wild Wings and weck and wack look it up.
Speaker 1: Weck is I think kind of a roll. And then
Speaker 1: they took the name out of it because it started
Speaker 1: I think in Columbus, Ohio as like a little mom
Speaker 1: and pop shop. Does it say Buffalo Wild Wings and
Speaker 1: wec Yeah, it.
Speaker 3: Says a rich Yeah, Buffalo wild wings. And we named
Speaker 3: b W three. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: Oh that's why it's called b W three because there
Speaker 2: were three w's.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Buffalo wild wings.
Speaker 2: What the heck does weck mean?
Speaker 1: I think it's a bread, but I don't think that
Speaker 1: that sounds very good with wings. No, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know what wing is.
Speaker 3: Beef The weck in the original title refers to beef
Speaker 3: on a weck, a sandwich originally served at the restaurant.
Speaker 2: Interesting it is bread, You're right?
Speaker 1: Uh, all right, let's try another one. Hey, y'all Before
Speaker 1: anything else, I want to say quick thank you. I
Speaker 1: was reflecting on my last year in therapy the other
Speaker 1: day and I realized just how much your show has
Speaker 1: helped me through some of the hardest times in my life,
Speaker 1: including one of the darkest periods oppression. I've a depression
Speaker 1: I've ever experienced. Last year, my life was full of darkness,
Speaker 1: and there were days when it felt like getting out
Speaker 1: of bed was impossible. But listening to you all made
Speaker 1: me feel a little less alone. Wow. You gave me
Speaker 1: something to laugh at when I didn't think I had
Speaker 1: it in me, and something worth waking up for every day,
Speaker 1: and I'll always be grateful for that. So truly, thank
Speaker 1: you from the bottom of my heart for what you do.
Speaker 1: It means more than you know. I so love here
Speaker 1: that yeah, because you know, I mean, I think most
Speaker 1: people that listen they appreciate laugh at our show, but
Speaker 1: I don't think we change most people's lives. But that
Speaker 1: was really I'm so happy that we could have made
Speaker 1: you feel better.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I'm glad you're looking. It's looking up for you.
Speaker 3: You're doing great now.
Speaker 1: Because this email is dangerously sentimental, let's pivot to the ridiculous.
Speaker 1: If you had to commit a crime, but it had
Speaker 1: to be ridiculous and non felonious, what would it be personally?
Speaker 1: I'd love to sneak onto a cruise ship blend in
Speaker 1: and see how long I could get away with it.
Speaker 1: I don't really have anything. Off the top of my head.
Speaker 1: I like your idea. It'd be fun to go to
Speaker 1: the Mall of America and see if I could hide
Speaker 1: overnight while they closed. You know what I mean. Yes,
Speaker 1: to like hide somewhere down in nick universe behind a
Speaker 1: shrub or behind something see ible.
Speaker 3: Don't to do that in like a grocery store so
Speaker 3: I can eat stuff while i'm there.
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, now that's illegal because you're actually you know,
Speaker 1: you're actually right.
Speaker 2: It's a crime.
Speaker 1: It is. It's a crime. You're right, Okay, and I
Speaker 1: forget about that one. Yeah, anything come from mind, Jenny.
Speaker 4: I would probably go somewhere where you're not allowed to
Speaker 4: to take a souvenir home, like the Black Sand beaches
Speaker 4: in Hawaii, or like do something where like you're not
Speaker 4: allowed to enter that area and enter it, you know
Speaker 4: what I mean, not like a dangerous not in a
Speaker 4: dangerous way, not like go to the Grand Canyon and
Speaker 4: walk past a boundary to get a selfie, but like
Speaker 4: go somewhere where it's like prohibited to enter, but you
Speaker 4: got a better view of something.
Speaker 2: Yes, all right, that would be cool.
Speaker 3: Because so I went and visited the Washington DC when
Speaker 3: I was nine or something, and we got to go
Speaker 3: on a tour of the White House. And you can't
Speaker 3: tour the White House anymore after nine to eleven. And
Speaker 3: it was like literally the same year as nine to eleven,
Speaker 3: just earlier, and we got to tour the White House.
Speaker 2: It was really dope, but now you can't.
Speaker 3: So it would really cool to go places that you're
Speaker 3: not supposed to go and look around.
Speaker 1: H Okay, if you'd swap lives with one of the
Speaker 1: other hosts on the show for a day, who are
Speaker 1: you choosing and why? And if the answer isn't at
Speaker 1: least a little petty, I'll be disappointed. I'd be Jenny.
Speaker 1: So I could find out what it's like to have
Speaker 1: everybody stare at me and look at me desirously, so
Speaker 1: I'd probably choose Jenny.
Speaker 3: Honestly, I was going to say Jenny as well, just
Speaker 3: so I could know what it's like to have big
Speaker 3: boobs and a good button a pretty face.
Speaker 1: Okay, well you do have a pretty face, well, thank.
Speaker 2: You, but I want to have Jenny's face.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, Jenny.
Speaker 4: Oh man, I'm like in between, honestly, in between you two,
Speaker 4: either Bailey or Dave. I feel like I'd want to
Speaker 4: do Dave, though, because Dave has a lot more money
Speaker 4: than me, and just the thought of being able to
Speaker 4: go on Amazon and order something to not feel like
Speaker 4: shit about it, because I feel like I probably don't
Speaker 4: have the money for whatever weird thing I just ordered.
Speaker 1: That'd be nice, you know, Okay interesting? And there's one more.
Speaker 1: What's the weirdest, most unhinged thing a listener has ever
Speaker 1: sent you? And please tell me it's not this email
Speaker 1: for me, there's no question. Back in the nineties, I
Speaker 1: want to say, a woman sent naked pictures polaroids of herself, wow,
Speaker 1: wearing a Santa hat. And she was, you know, moderately attractive,
Speaker 1: probably twenty five or so years old. Didn't know her
Speaker 1: didn't know who she was, never had heard of her,
Speaker 1: and I think she might have been a missing a
Speaker 1: piece upstairs. But she sent like, you know, not vulgar disgusting,
Speaker 1: but naked pictures polaroids. No, she was like kind of posing, smiling,
Speaker 1: and she must have a remote on her polaroid or something.
Speaker 1: And she sent them to me in a Manila envelope
Speaker 1: and I didn't know what to do with them, so
Speaker 1: I kept them for a while, like what do I
Speaker 1: do with these? And then finally I said what am
Speaker 1: I keeping these four? And I threw them away. So
Speaker 1: but that's the first one that comes to mind anybody
Speaker 1: else I have one.
Speaker 4: But also like it's strange, but it was also the
Speaker 4: best thing. Someone sent me the skin tag kit that
Speaker 4: I used to get my skin tag off about a
Speaker 4: year ago. Oh, they just randomly sent it in the mail,
Speaker 4: didn't have a note attached to it or anything. So
Speaker 4: they sent it to the station and I was like, well,
Speaker 4: this is weird, and I gave it a try. My
Speaker 4: skin tag is no longer. And I did find that
Speaker 4: person as they commented on my Instagram like reel of it,
Speaker 4: was like, oh I'm happy you got it, And I
Speaker 4: was like, man, I know who said this to me,
Speaker 4: but thank you and it works and.
Speaker 2: So it was great nice.
Speaker 1: Okay, she goes, thanks again for the laughs, the chaos
Speaker 1: and making my morning to my life feel a little brighter.
Speaker 1: Y'all are the real MVPs much love your mom, and
Speaker 1: then she says, JK love Kaylee, Kaylee, that was such
Speaker 1: a nice email. I'm so happy to hear about that one. Uka.
Speaker 1: Hello Morning show crew from Katie. Dave was recently talking
Speaker 1: about advertising and sponsorship. Have you ever had a sponsorship
Speaker 1: go wrong? If so, how was it resolved? No? I
Speaker 1: mean not that I can think of. I mean, there
Speaker 1: was one advertisement we did for a product called drives Scribe.
Speaker 1: Somebody look in the app store and see if drives
Speaker 1: Scribe is still a thing. It was basically, it was
Speaker 1: an app on your phone that you would have your
Speaker 1: kids drive with and it would tell them if they
Speaker 1: were speeding, suddenly stopping where they were, and it basically
Speaker 1: kept track of your teenage driver. Is it still there?
Speaker 2: I mean it's available on Amazon, which.
Speaker 1: I'm not seen it in the app store though, Okay,
Speaker 1: interesting and I wouldn't say it it didn't go well,
Speaker 1: I mean anything went wrong. I just remember that they
Speaker 1: were disappointed because they didn't get any results from it,
Speaker 1: and for whatever reason, people just weren't ready for an
Speaker 1: app that lets you follow your kids around. And if
Speaker 1: they're still in business, I'm not I'd be surprised because
Speaker 1: it's just you know, we always do a good job.
Speaker 1: We always try, but that particular product, I wouldn't say
Speaker 1: it didn't went wrong. It just wasn't that effective, Okay.
Speaker 1: And part two of the same email Sarah's I'm also
Speaker 1: wondering if I can get a birthday shout out to
Speaker 1: my wonderful cousin Sonny. Her birthday is on Sunday, February ninth.
Speaker 1: We were both avid listeners in Minnesota. Goodbye podcast and
Speaker 1: love talking about the show together.
Speaker 2: Birthday, Sonny, Thanks.
Speaker 1: For all you guys do. That is from Katie. And
Speaker 1: then this email came in on Friday afternoon, but we
Speaker 1: just now saw it today, so hopefully she'll hear the
Speaker 1: belated happy birthday shout out. Let's see if there is
Speaker 1: another one. Hold on, here we go. Last Friday, you
Speaker 1: were talking about waking up the middle of the night
Speaker 1: as a newly pregnant mom of a two and a
Speaker 1: half year old I love waking up in the middle
Speaker 1: of the night for a quick little snack. It helps
Speaker 1: prevent my morning sickness if I eat every few hours.
Speaker 1: It's the only time I get to myself lately. Haha.
Speaker 1: Actually just found out I'm pregnant less than two weeks ago.
Speaker 1: So very people know. Very few people know, and it's
Speaker 1: such a hard secret to keep. That's why we're not
Speaker 1: saying their name. Thanks for the entertainment. Every day am
Speaker 1: I driving to work to two daycare pickup. You guys
Speaker 1: are my favorite. You know, I'd love hearing that. That
Speaker 1: never gets old. If you ever see us somewhere and
Speaker 1: you come up and say, you know, I'm sure you
Speaker 1: hear this all the time, but I've been listening to
Speaker 1: the show for years. It's like I can never hear
Speaker 1: it enough.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: It's like it's like burritos. I'll never say that was
Speaker 1: my last burrito. I don't need another one, no, you know,
Speaker 1: because you know, a couple of days later, I'll be like,
Speaker 1: you know, what sounds good a burrito? Yeah, So you
Speaker 1: might think that we get tired of hearing we love
Speaker 1: the show, but it's like a.
Speaker 3: Burrito, No, And even I mean, I'm New so I
Speaker 3: have not as much of a fan base. But I
Speaker 3: like it when people walk up to me and they
Speaker 3: say I've been listening to the show forever, and I
Speaker 3: go same, me too, and then we go back and forth.
Speaker 2: But it's so nice, Like I got.
Speaker 3: I went to see Greece at the Chanhassen Dinner Theater
Speaker 3: on Friday and I had two people walk up to
Speaker 3: me to talk to me. And I also went to
Speaker 3: go see Burlesque on Saturday night and had three people
Speaker 3: come up.
Speaker 1: And talk to me that don't know you. I mean,
Speaker 1: they only know you from the show, really, but I
Speaker 1: don't even get that kind of action.
Speaker 2: It just well that's because you don't go anywhere.
Speaker 1: That's a very good point.
Speaker 3: But like it was so nice because, especially at Green
Speaker 3: I was just kind of standing alone while my friend
Speaker 3: was talking to all of her friends because she knew
Speaker 3: everybody in the show, and so I was just kind
Speaker 3: of do to do. So it's nice to have somebody
Speaker 3: walk up and talk to me about the show because
Speaker 3: then I can talk about something I know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I meet people. I like meeting people.
Speaker 1: Well that's cool. Yeah, all right, at least one more.
Speaker 1: Let's do this one, please, don't say my name. I
Speaker 1: was listening to your podcast after getting home from a
Speaker 1: vacation in Florida. My husband and I talked about moving
Speaker 1: to Florida for years, but we never did. Now we
Speaker 1: have small kids. After our recent vacation, we still really
Speaker 1: want to move to Florida, but we feel conflicted because
Speaker 1: now we have kids. Dave, I know you move from Colorado,
Speaker 1: and I know Falon's not on the show anymore, but
Speaker 1: she moved from Indiana. What are your guys thoughts, opinions,
Speaker 1: things to consider. We've consistently talked about moving to Florida
Speaker 1: since we first landed there. I'm so worried we'll regret
Speaker 1: not making the move someday. But also I feel scared
Speaker 1: to move away from family and have our kids miss
Speaker 1: out on living close to family. I'd love a sticker.
Speaker 1: I'll attach my address. We'll send you one, no problem.
Speaker 1: Been listening to you guys for years and love you all.
Speaker 1: PS Dave. When I was scared to fly after the
Speaker 1: recent crashes, I kept reminding myself of what you say
Speaker 1: about how less common plane crashes are today. It's very true.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna ask you, Jenny, you kind of walked in
Speaker 1: from the bathroom or wherever you might have been, and
Speaker 1: she's saying, when you moved to a new city like
Speaker 1: you did, was it hard and what are some thoughts,
Speaker 1: opinions things to consider?
Speaker 4: It is hard, But I feel like I'm not a
Speaker 4: great example because I moved during college when every single
Speaker 4: person was trying to make friends. So I was already
Speaker 4: in an environment where it was easy to meet people
Speaker 4: who are also trying to meet people. Okay, I guess
Speaker 4: just from other friends moving to different cities, I feel
Speaker 4: like a lot of people met their friendships through work.
Speaker 4: A lot of times, some people joined, you know, some
Speaker 4: kind of activity that they liked. I joke about kickball,
Speaker 4: But like, I do have friends who moved to different
Speaker 4: cities and joined kickball teams and they like got a
Speaker 4: lot of friends from that. So I think it just
Speaker 4: depends on like, you know, look for, like your interests.
Speaker 4: We talked last week about joining like Facebook groups where
Speaker 4: they like, I don't know, they do, like hiking or
Speaker 4: whatever it is, and you can meet people through that,
Speaker 4: and some.
Speaker 1: People are just better at it than others. I mean,
Speaker 1: I have a friend that moved from here to Colorado
Speaker 1: and she joined a single women's friend group and they
Speaker 1: would meet and go to lunch and I was like,
Speaker 1: how awkward would that be? But she loved it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and she thrives in that kind of thing. For me,
Speaker 1: my connection to people was work, So I made friends
Speaker 1: at work. I mean like when I moved here, I
Speaker 1: was friends with Pat Eberts and some other people that
Speaker 1: worked on the show. Back then. The first time I
Speaker 1: moved away, I was twenty one. I moved to Las
Speaker 1: Vegas from Colorado, and I didn't know anybody in Las Vegas,
Speaker 1: but the news guy Bob became my friend, and then
Speaker 1: I made some more friends out there. So I made
Speaker 1: my friends through work. I never ever, ever once considered
Speaker 1: the awfulness of being away from my family. But looking back,
Speaker 1: I moved away at twenty one years old, and the
Speaker 1: only time I saw my family ever again was a
Speaker 1: couple of times a year for a couple of days. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's it.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: And my mom moved from Ohio to Minnesota, and same thing,
Speaker 3: Like we only ever saw my grandparents like once a
Speaker 3: summer and then if they came out to see us.
Speaker 3: And I'm sure that was really hard for my mom.
Speaker 3: But like, if you think you're gonna regret not going. Yeah,
Speaker 3: go while your kids are little, because if you wait
Speaker 3: and go when they're like in you know, fifth tenth
Speaker 3: grade or whatever, then they're gonna be like, well, I'm
Speaker 3: not moving. I have friends here, I have a life here.
Speaker 3: So if you're gonna go, go now.
Speaker 1: Yeah. And I think that, you know, we regret the
Speaker 1: things we didn't do rather than the things we did do.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I will tell you though, that Beth and her kids,
Speaker 1: you know, they live in North Carolina. We never see
Speaker 1: each other. Yeah, we never do. And I don't know
Speaker 1: those kids very well at all. They're getting older, and
Speaker 1: you know, I told her, it's like you're always invited
Speaker 1: up here, come up anytime, send the kids up, send
Speaker 1: one at a time, send two at a time, whatever.
Speaker 1: But you know, but we're it's sad because we're not close.
Speaker 1: So an answer to your question, I would say, keep
Speaker 1: that in mind because that will definitely affect the whole thing.
Speaker 1: And thank you. I'm not going to say the name
Speaker 1: because you asked me not to, but I will definitely
Speaker 1: send you a staff writer sticker. That is it for
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Goodbye, Thank you for listening. Send your emails
Speaker 1: for tomorrow's Minnesota Goodbye. Would it be cool to be like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, this is my email on the Minnesota Goodbye.
Speaker 1: That'd be super cool. Ryan Show at KDWB dot com
Speaker 1: is the address.
