Speaker 1: Well, let's get started with a Tuesday edition of the
Speaker 1: Minnesota Goodbye. I'm just kind of plowing through the emails here.
Speaker 1: We got a bunch of good ones. So are you ready? Okay,
Speaker 1: here we go. A couple of topics I had in
Speaker 1: mind from Maria Beck. Maria says, when I heard about
Speaker 1: the plane crash in DC, literally my first thought was,
Speaker 1: David Ryan, you said planes don't crash here anymore. I
Speaker 1: don't have much more to say about this, but I
Speaker 1: just thought it was funny. I'm a bit anxious of
Speaker 1: an anxious flyer, but I usually start feeling better by
Speaker 1: the time we get close to the ground because if
Speaker 1: we crash from that height, it quote might not be
Speaker 1: that bad unquote. Well, now, I guess I have to
Speaker 1: stay anxious until we're at the damn gate. I truly
Speaker 1: believe that planes don't crash, that they just don't. We
Speaker 1: haven't had a deadly crash since two thousand and nine,
Speaker 1: and this was the most serious crash since like two
Speaker 1: thousand and four. There are many reasons for it, just
Speaker 1: the everything. From now. COPI pilots are encouraged to speak
Speaker 1: up if the pilot is doing something wrong or questionable.
Speaker 1: And the etiquette used to be like the pilot was god,
Speaker 1: you didn't question him or her. Their word was final.
Speaker 1: But now they say, Okay, if the pilot's doing something wrong,
Speaker 1: you say, hey, I don't think we should do that.
Speaker 1: That's not right. That's been a lot, that's saved a
Speaker 1: lot of people. The thing about this one, it wasn't
Speaker 1: a pilot air it was or not sure if it
Speaker 1: was the Army helicopter pilots or whether it was the controllers,
Speaker 1: but they it was definitely the helicopter's fault. Yeah, probably
Speaker 1: the helicopter's fault. Why was the helicopter too high? The
Speaker 1: plane was not too low. The plane was doing exactly
Speaker 1: what it should have been doing. But one thing that
Speaker 1: they couldn't control was I mean, it's very busy around
Speaker 1: that airport, and the helicopter, for whatever reason, did not
Speaker 1: see the airplane.
Speaker 2: The thing that I will say on this to the
Speaker 2: person emailing in is you got to think that people
Speaker 2: are on high alert right now because of this recent accident.
Speaker 2: So if that comforts you a little bit, because I'm
Speaker 2: also flying for the first time in a really long time,
Speaker 2: not until March, but I'm a little nervous about it
Speaker 2: now too after this. But then I was like, well,
Speaker 2: but also they're probably taking extra protocols now because of
Speaker 2: this accident.
Speaker 1: They I've listened to a lot of podcasts about airplane crashes,
Speaker 1: and they're from almost every serious plane crash. There are
Speaker 1: new regulations, new rules, new things that come into play,
Speaker 1: everything about maintenance, air traffic control. The fact that now
Speaker 1: so many things have been changed, like you know, like
Speaker 1: I said, with every plane crash changes something, so I'm
Speaker 1: sure this will change something too to make it a
Speaker 1: little bit safer. It's really weird because back in the fifties, sixties, seventies,
Speaker 1: even into the eighties, planes crashed. It seemed like once
Speaker 1: a month there was like a deadly plane crash in
Speaker 1: the United States, like once a month where dozens of
Speaker 1: people would get killed, and it was just kind of
Speaker 1: part of the price you play paid for flying in
Speaker 1: an airplane. So it just doesn't really happen anymore. So
Speaker 1: you can still fly confidently, I know I would. Here
Speaker 1: are some conversations sparking would you rather their questions? And
Speaker 1: here we go, Bailey's in the little girl DJ's room
Speaker 1: right now, so she's not here. Blue pill or red
Speaker 1: pill which one would you take? If you could take
Speaker 1: a pill that gives you genuine answers and insight into
Speaker 1: the meaning of life and whether or not there's an afterlife,
Speaker 1: would you want to know, let's say you even get
Speaker 1: insight on the truth behind how our government works and
Speaker 1: whether or not that people really have any power? Or
Speaker 1: would you take the blue pill and stay blissfully ignorant
Speaker 1: to everything. Red pill gives you all the insight. Blue
Speaker 1: pill makes you blissfully ignorant to everything.
Speaker 2: I would take bluepill. I want to be blissfully ignorant.
Speaker 2: I think the meaning of life is something that is
Speaker 2: also part of living your life is discovering that yourself.
Speaker 2: And who knows the meaning of life? You're telling me
Speaker 2: there's one meaning of life that we're just going to
Speaker 2: learn by taking a pill. I don't believe that. But
Speaker 2: you would definitely don't want to know what the government's doing.
Speaker 2: And that is one thing I want to say, so
Speaker 2: fucking naive too, that is for sure.
Speaker 1: I think they're doing exactly what we suspect they're doing,
Speaker 1: which is being shifty and shitty. And I think that
Speaker 1: there is I think on both sides it is shiftiness
Speaker 1: and shittiness by career politicians who should have a term
Speaker 1: limit of like maybe eight years and then GTFO and
Speaker 1: then go work at a law firm or Jimmy John's
Speaker 1: I really think that the politics in this country has
Speaker 1: gotten so ugly, shifty, shady that Yeah, I don't really.
Speaker 1: I think I take the blue pill too.
Speaker 3: Question Tangent. Do you think there should be an age
Speaker 3: limit on politics?
Speaker 1: Absolutely?
Speaker 3: Yes, What do you think it should be?
Speaker 1: Well, I think maybe retirement age. I think sixty five
Speaker 1: is like you know, good retirement age. It used to
Speaker 1: be a mandatory thing that people like airline pilots had
Speaker 1: to retire or I don't know what else, like executives
Speaker 1: had to retire at sixty five. That was the mandatory
Speaker 1: retirement age. Yeah, we live longer, healthier lives now, But
Speaker 1: I don't think that somebody who is seventy eight years
Speaker 1: old or eighty one years old should run for president.
Speaker 1: I don't think so. I think it's like youth is
Speaker 1: not always right, but youth is that's the future, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean?
Speaker 3: Yeah, No, I agree. I wish there were more people
Speaker 3: like in their forties in politics or thirties even.
Speaker 1: Well, I think that's one of the reasons why JFK
Speaker 1: was so popular. He was so young. You just got
Speaker 1: out of like the who was president before him. I
Speaker 1: think Truman, Eisenhower, a bunch of old bald guys were
Speaker 1: And that's why people love JFK. Because he was only
Speaker 1: like forty two or forty four.
Speaker 3: Obama maxy, he was hot, was he was a very
Speaker 3: attracket man.
Speaker 1: This true.
Speaker 3: Obama was young too.
Speaker 1: Would you rather revive somebody you love for one day
Speaker 1: and relive the best moments in memories with them, or
Speaker 1: revive them from a year for a year, but forget
Speaker 1: all the memories you have and create new ones? Definitely
Speaker 1: for one day. If I could revive my mom or
Speaker 1: my dad for one day, I would definitely be like, oh,
Speaker 1: remember the time, remember the time, rather than be like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't want to create new memories. I don't want
Speaker 1: to revive any of them. Honestly.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think be too painful.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 2: Maybe I would, Jenny, I'd probably do the one day thing.
Speaker 2: But I think that my answer would maybe change if,
Speaker 2: like Heaven forbid, Andrew suddenly passed away tomorrow, Like my
Speaker 2: answer might change, Like I would want another year with him.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so, but you would have to forget everything before that,
Speaker 3: I know.
Speaker 1: See, you wouldn't have your Bubba gumps in your backpacking
Speaker 1: and your camp or van memories.
Speaker 2: Yeah I know, but okay, I don't know. Maybe I'll
Speaker 2: stick with the one day.
Speaker 1: Good thing is not really a choice. Would you rather
Speaker 1: be alone until fifty nine but then find your absolute
Speaker 1: soulmate at age sixty? Or go through multiple partners like
Speaker 1: normal with no guarantees of finding that person? So you're
Speaker 1: alone until you're fifty nine, but at sixty you find
Speaker 1: your absolute soulmate, but then you don't know how much
Speaker 1: longer you got to live. Yeah, Or just take a
Speaker 1: chance like we all do in life and maybe you
Speaker 1: find them, maybe you don't.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna do take a chance, okay, because like, well, okay,
Speaker 3: I feel a little bit of both, because I wann't
Speaker 3: mind being alone, but like, if I have a chance
Speaker 3: of meeting somebody in the time it takes me to
Speaker 3: get to fifty nine, then why not just like go
Speaker 3: on that journey because I'm not like turning out to
Speaker 3: be a bad person after each failed relationship.
Speaker 1: Sure, okay, yeah, Jenny, take a chance.
Speaker 2: I love dating in my twenties.
Speaker 1: It was a lot of fun. Yeah, would you rather
Speaker 1: get one million dollars now or one billion twenty years
Speaker 1: before you die, which is a very hypothetical because you
Speaker 1: would then find out when you're going to die. So
Speaker 1: if somebody gave you, like, let's say when you're forty
Speaker 1: nine years old, somebody said, here's a billion dollars, You're
Speaker 1: going to die when you're sixty nine years old, but
Speaker 1: here's a billion dollars. Or give you one million dollars
Speaker 1: right now, you can enjoy it right now. It's only
Speaker 1: a million, which ain't what it used to be, but
Speaker 1: it's still a million dollars, Jenny, a.
Speaker 2: Million, hands down. You can invest that. It'll be a
Speaker 2: billion soon enough knows yes it will.
Speaker 1: No, it won't, Yes it will, you're investing in.
Speaker 2: It just depends on what you learn to do with
Speaker 2: your money. Like I'm honestly currently basically taking college classes
Speaker 2: because Andrew and I are seeing someone that's like helping
Speaker 2: us with our finances. It's not a financial advisor. It's
Speaker 2: like a business and finance coach. And there are very
Speaker 2: many different ways you can turn that money into a
Speaker 2: lot more than a million.
Speaker 1: Crypto number one answer that he is, you.
Speaker 2: Go ahead and tea, but they're telling you you.
Speaker 3: Go ahead and that and what about you, Bailey. I
Speaker 3: would probably also do the million dollars because then I
Speaker 3: can actually like use it and yeah, invest it in
Speaker 3: all of that now versus I mean, a billion would
Speaker 3: be cool. But if I'm gonna die in ten years,
Speaker 3: I would end years, so twenty years I would still
Speaker 3: end up like donating a lot of that. I don't
Speaker 3: need a billion dollars. I don't think anyone needs a
Speaker 3: billion dollars.
Speaker 2: So much money. That's something that we can't even comprehend
Speaker 2: what that means.
Speaker 3: It's too much quickly.
Speaker 1: The experiment, says Kim Bate of Arlington, Minnesota, asked Dave
Speaker 1: to tell a story about a sweet, cute little baby,
Speaker 1: any baby, and then take note of how he says
Speaker 1: the word baby. Haha. He can't help himself. It's cute.
Speaker 1: I giggle every time. I it's a little burb ber, Yeah,
Speaker 1: a little bit. It's just a little burber, Just a cute,
Speaker 1: little chubby little berber. They are adorable longtime listeners of
Speaker 1: all things. Katiewb still longing for the day when I'll
Speaker 1: be considered a friend of the show. Well, you are
Speaker 1: a friend of the show, Kim. We just need to
Speaker 1: hear from you more often, So feel free to write
Speaker 1: in more often to the Minnesota.
Speaker 3: Goodbye and Kim. If you text us on our text
Speaker 3: line five three nine two one, just sign your name
Speaker 3: Kim at the end, because then we'll start saying, oh,
Speaker 3: front of the show, Kim, because your name is right there.
Speaker 1: That's a good idea. Next one, don't say my name.
Speaker 1: I wanted to write in regarding the big schlong story.
Speaker 1: This goes back to Matt bar the guy with the
Speaker 1: largest medically recognized long schlong at fourteen inches, which is
Speaker 1: two inches yard longer than a ruler back when I
Speaker 1: was in college, made a terrible mistake of a rebound relationship,
Speaker 1: lots of cheating on his end. My mindset had changed
Speaker 1: and I decided, fuck it, I'm going to start acting
Speaker 1: like a guy when it came to hookups because I
Speaker 1: had missed out on so many experiences anyway. Working in
Speaker 1: the dining hall, had some run ins with some of
Speaker 1: the football players, one of which was very smooth and
Speaker 1: talk me into going on a date with him. Really,
Speaker 1: he was just picking me up and bringing me to
Speaker 1: his apartment for a movie and a hookup. We initially
Speaker 1: started making out, then moved to the bedroom. He whipped
Speaker 1: off his boxers, and, oh my god, the size of
Speaker 1: that thing stopped me in my tracks. I initially tried
Speaker 1: to play it off, like we should slow down, but
Speaker 1: eventually I flat out told him that's terrifying. There's no
Speaker 1: way it's going to fit anywhere near my body. Seriously,
Speaker 1: I don't remember exactly how long it was, but my god,
Speaker 1: the girth on that thing scared the living daylights out
Speaker 1: of me. I ended up telling him absolutely not and
Speaker 1: made him take me back to my dorm. I purposely
Speaker 1: avoided any interaction with him after that. Keep that elephant's
Speaker 1: leg away from all of my targets and no dart
Speaker 1: licking either.
Speaker 3: Oh right, what's his name?
Speaker 2: It's good to know that football players are still the same,
Speaker 2: or are the same from my experience with them. That
Speaker 2: sounds like every football player that ever like wandered around
Speaker 2: in the dorms schlunk. Well, No, I don't know about
Speaker 2: their slongs, but they just would be like, let's like
Speaker 2: hang out and go on a date. The date would
Speaker 2: be like, let's watch TV in our dorm room and
Speaker 2: then bang. Yeah, like that was always their emmo. Like
Speaker 2: they always were like, this is what's gonna go down.
Speaker 2: They're never gonna take you on a fucking date, Like.
Speaker 1: Well, they don't because they don't have to. I'm fired up,
Speaker 1: and I think that there there are you know, there
Speaker 1: are guys that don't have to take you on a
Speaker 1: date because women just want to bang them. Let's face it,
Speaker 1: women want to bang nearly as much as guys do,
Speaker 1: but their conditioned to be a little bit more subtle
Speaker 1: about it. But I think that this guy, and any
Speaker 1: football player like that, is learned. He doesn't have to
Speaker 1: charm you and take you out to like, you know,
Speaker 1: five guys and fire a burger down your throat and
Speaker 1: take you to a movie. He just got to bring
Speaker 1: it back to his dorm. And you know, and I
Speaker 1: think a lot of women are fine with that. I think,
Speaker 1: especially for the prestige of hooking up with a football player.
Speaker 2: I would like to stand up for myself, not that
Speaker 2: I need to or like have to defend myself, but
Speaker 2: I mean, and I feel like this makes me sound conceited,
Speaker 2: but I just lived in the same hall as the
Speaker 2: football players so they always were like wandering around, and
Speaker 2: they would wander into our dorm because we leave our
Speaker 2: doors open sometimes. And one guy just like came in
Speaker 2: and was like can I make out with you? And
Speaker 2: I was like, no, what the heck like? And he
Speaker 2: was really fucking hot. No, Like, you don't just because
Speaker 2: you're like this hot football player, does it mean every
Speaker 2: single girl is going to like fall to their knees
Speaker 2: for you. So I was like, no, honey, get out
Speaker 2: of my dorm room right now.
Speaker 3: But there was.
Speaker 1: It must have worked. It must have worked, because I mean,
Speaker 1: you look at a football player. They're not always attractive
Speaker 1: in the face, but they can lift you and flip
Speaker 1: you and do this and do that, and a lot
Speaker 1: of I mean listen, a lot of women never get
Speaker 1: a chance to be with a really very athletically fit guy.
Speaker 2: I would argue that that's like not the greatest though.
Speaker 2: I think passionate lovers are better than the guys who
Speaker 2: are just throwing you around because they got muscles.
Speaker 1: Because I've learned over my years that women that have
Speaker 1: model shaped bodies are usually very poor lovers because they
Speaker 1: just think that they have to show up and a
Speaker 1: lot of the time they're they're told they're beautiful and
Speaker 1: they're hot all the time, and a lot of the
Speaker 1: time they just show up. It's the girl who's got
Speaker 1: a little meat on her bones, who's like a little
Speaker 1: bit more passionate and having a good time and throwing
Speaker 1: me around. Yeah, flipping me around, throwing me.
Speaker 3: Around, cowgirl.
Speaker 1: That's right. One more email on the Minnesota goodbye. I
Speaker 1: thought this one was interesting. Let me pull it open
Speaker 1: here one second. Okay, this is always the awkward part.
Speaker 1: Here we go, Hello, morning show crew. After watching the
Speaker 1: recent Grammy Awards and paying attention to pop culture trends,
Speaker 1: I've noticed how much the pop scene and music overall
Speaker 1: seems dominated by female artists. It's exciting to see so
Speaker 1: many talented women rising to the top finally, but why
Speaker 1: aren't male artists thriving into space as they once did?
Speaker 1: Or did they ever? Really? We had big names like
Speaker 1: Sean Mendez, Justin Bieber, Ed Sheeran, but their time in
Speaker 1: pop seems brief compared to the long lasting success of
Speaker 1: many female stars. Is this just how the industry works?
Speaker 1: It could be tied to how pop is marketed or
Speaker 1: the demographic is it targets? Maybe pop itself is viewed
Speaker 1: as more feminine, unlike male dominated genres like rap or
Speaker 1: hip hop or country, where men are still leading. For now,
Speaker 1: it seems like male pop singers always face some stigma
Speaker 1: within the genre circle. Dart lick lick lick lick my
Speaker 1: favorite thing to do in the bedroom. Wow, Well, most
Speaker 1: people don't admit to that. There is definitely a trend,
Speaker 1: and I think it is because that's what works. Modeled
Speaker 1: by Taylor Swift, modeled by Miley Cyrus, modeled by other
Speaker 1: female artists. There are so many like is it Gracy
Speaker 1: Abrams that sounds just like Taylor Swift? Like the same
Speaker 1: style of song, almost as if, you know, if there
Speaker 1: was a let's say I created an amazing I don't
Speaker 1: know bread. I created this amazing bread. There's nothing else
Speaker 1: like it, and ninety percent of all bread sales went
Speaker 1: to me. It would be a short time until somebody
Speaker 1: else stole my bread idea and then did another version.
Speaker 1: That's what I think happened with female artists is because
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift is so big that other female artists like
Speaker 1: Gracy Abrams or truly I think a knockoff of Taylor
Speaker 1: Swift because it's like if she's so big, let's make
Speaker 1: a copy of her.
Speaker 3: Yeah, though I feel that same way about a lot
Speaker 3: of male artists too. That's sometimes they're just a copy
Speaker 3: of another one that came before that, like name one.
Speaker 3: Well okay, Like earlier today I said, there's every generation
Speaker 3: has an imagine dragons because Miles Smith sounds like imagine
Speaker 3: dragons to me, Benson Boone sounds like imagine dragons to me.
Speaker 1: Good point.
Speaker 3: So I feel like it's just a different sound, but
Speaker 3: a lot of it's the same sound.
Speaker 1: Why are there so many women on the radio now?
Speaker 2: I think Taylor Swift has put a lot of women
Speaker 2: on the radio almost from having them open her recent tour,
Speaker 2: because the Brina Carpenter open for her, Gracie Abrams open
Speaker 2: for her. So I think like getting that publicity from
Speaker 2: Taylor Swift has helped out a lot of those people's careers.
Speaker 2: Olivia Rodrigo had Chapel opening for her on her tour
Speaker 2: as well.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is interesting that there's kind of a dearth
Speaker 1: of male bands. There's kind of a I mean, it
Speaker 1: is a lot of I don't know, pop female singers,
Speaker 1: but music is so it is very cyclical and sometimes honestly,
Speaker 1: especially Top forty music runs. Some years it's really hot.
Speaker 1: Some years there's like a Taylor Swift and a Miley
Speaker 1: Cyrus and there's like, you know, a lot of great artists.
Speaker 1: I think right now we're kind of in a good year.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would say a song.
Speaker 1: And then some other years it's like there's just not
Speaker 1: much out there. Thank God for Shaboozy.
Speaker 3: Thank Wow.
Speaker 1: That's it for the Minnesota Goodbye. Love to hear your
Speaker 1: thoughts on anything that we talked about or bring up
Speaker 1: something new. Send that in to Ryan's show at KDWB
