Speaker 1: mystery like yaya whatever, Okay, welcome to the Minnesota Goodbye.
Speaker 1: Where you get to choose the topics. If you want
Speaker 1: to write in and tell us what you want to
Speaker 1: talk about, that would be great. Now that's kind of
Speaker 1: like that guy with the wrinkly face and the white hair.
Speaker 3: Do you know what I'm talking It needs to be
Speaker 3: a little more cryptic sounding, though, if it's dateline or
Speaker 3: whatever else, Like it sounded a little more like a
Speaker 3: mixture between Dateline and mister Rogers, like you were too
Speaker 3: friendly in it.
Speaker 1: Well, I'll try to be more of a dick than Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm saying.
Speaker 2: You just said you gotta sound more mysterious.
Speaker 1: Now, work on it, all right, you we go, Dave,
Speaker 1: Jenny Bailey Vant good afternoon. I wanted to write in
Speaker 1: and say had a great time at Bailey's birthday bashy
Speaker 1: on Thursday evening. Was so fun to meet Dave again
Speaker 1: and meet the rest of you for the first time.
Speaker 1: You were all so gracious and accommodating and letting my
Speaker 1: cousin take pictures. So big thanks to that. Shout out
Speaker 1: to vont who made a video with me for my
Speaker 1: partner who's currently in Puerto Rico. Luis thought the video
Speaker 1: was funny, but mentioned that Vaughan forgot about bringing back
Speaker 1: some mo fungo.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, what's that? I don't know, I was gonna say,
Speaker 4: I'm pretty sure.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Okay. I hope there's a big bash for Dave
Speaker 1: as well next month and listeners will be invited. Then
Speaker 1: you can start planning for Vaunt's next birthday. I'm sure
Speaker 1: he's already counting down the days. Oh and I just
Speaker 1: heard the replay edition of you all getting fired by
Speaker 1: HR managers and I died laughing. I'm glad my HR
Speaker 1: role never involves employee terminations. You were all awesome. I
Speaker 1: have a great weekend, not darting or licking, but I
Speaker 1: might be calling HR staff writer Annie from Roseville. We
Speaker 1: just had the best time at Bailey's birthday bash. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna be really honest with you. When I first walked in,
Speaker 1: there was nobody there. Yeah, And for the first like half,
Speaker 1: like fifteen minutes or so, I thought, oh, this is
Speaker 1: not looking good. But then I started talking to somebody
Speaker 1: and it looked up and it was full. We had
Speaker 1: a very big crowd.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm glad that it filled up because I was
Speaker 5: there early because it was my party.
Speaker 4: So I was like, I got to be there early and.
Speaker 5: Set up and stuff, and my mom brought decorations, bless
Speaker 5: her soul, so it looked kind of nice. But I
Speaker 5: was so nervous because like the first people that walked
Speaker 5: in were people that I knew, and I was like, oh,
Speaker 5: I hope they're not judging me because there's no one
Speaker 5: here yet.
Speaker 4: And I'm so glad people showed up. So glad.
Speaker 1: It was a great party. It really was. I was
Speaker 1: very happy with it. And they gave us a big room.
Speaker 1: We had a pretty big room to fill up.
Speaker 4: Yes, yeah.
Speaker 1: And the brewery Forgotten Story is a vast brewery. It
Speaker 1: is the biggest brewery I've ever been in, by far,
Speaker 1: like three times bigger than your average brewery, I think.
Speaker 1: So when I first walked in, I saw a few friends.
Speaker 1: It's like, oh, okay, well where's Bailey, And I didn't
Speaker 1: see you. And then I looked down the hall and
Speaker 1: we were in a room, like a party room down
Speaker 1: the hall.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: But within a half an hour, forty five minutes, it
Speaker 1: was full. Yeah, and the guys from the Jesse James
Speaker 1: Days were there and made night. They what made my night.
Speaker 1: That kind of was cool.
Speaker 5: Yeah. People were saying, oh, they were so chatty. They
Speaker 5: were so chatty, they had so much to talk about.
Speaker 5: But when I talked to them, they were not very chatty.
Speaker 5: So I felt awkward. I was like, I got to
Speaker 5: entertain these men.
Speaker 4: Oh God. But it was fun. I liked it a lot.
Speaker 4: I had a good time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we met a lot of cool people. So thanks
Speaker 1: for coming, Thank you for coming, Brook writes in It's
Speaker 1: Brook one of your p one listeners, which means like
Speaker 1: somebody who listens all the time. I'm all cut up
Speaker 1: listening to your current podcast from The Regular Show and
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Goodbye. So I've been listening to old podcasts.
Speaker 1: I am currently on the seven am hour of November fifteenth,
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three. You guys are playing an improv game
Speaker 1: where you described the plot of a movie. Then you
Speaker 1: acted out. I wanted to ask you if you could bring
Speaker 1: that back? Is it's hilarious? Isn't that the improv? The
Speaker 1: Sorry I'm Late? Game?
Speaker 4: Literally, Yeah, we just did today.
Speaker 1: That's why I did it because I saw this email
Speaker 1: yesterday and I thought, oh, that's a good game. Yeah, thanks,
Speaker 1: and have a wonderful week.
Speaker 5: It's called Sorry I'm Late. You can play it in
Speaker 5: the car on family trips. You can play it with
Speaker 5: your friends. It's an improv game I learned in improv class.
Speaker 3: Makes you realize that you kind of forget about the
Speaker 3: plots of movies you haven't seen in twenty years. Yes,
Speaker 3: because I had to like look up Super Bad, I
Speaker 3: was like, what is this movie happen? Followed all I
Speaker 3: remembered was mclovin.
Speaker 4: Yeah, pretty much.
Speaker 5: Literally, all I ever think of is The Notebook, and
Speaker 5: I'm like, that's the only movie I can think of.
Speaker 4: This is the only movie that exists.
Speaker 1: So it's like, yeah, I can only think of Titanic. Yeah, sop,
Speaker 1: Hello Bailey and Crew. First off, Happy birthday, Jamison, your
Speaker 1: five year old garden touring bestie, says, Happy birthday. You're
Speaker 1: still his favorite person. This is from Anna. Anna. We
Speaker 1: met a couple of months ago because she invited us
Speaker 1: to go horseback riding up at her farm in Zimmerman. Yes,
Speaker 1: and you bonded with her five year old kid, James.
Speaker 4: It was so fun. He was so cute.
Speaker 1: The kindness you showed him when you came to our
Speaker 1: house to go horseback riding was so special to him.
Speaker 1: He asked all the time if you can come babysit him.
Speaker 1: On another note, I'm looking for the podcasts episode where
Speaker 1: you guys were talking about how long the pre battle
Speaker 1: and battle aka sexy Time, but I can't find that.
Speaker 1: I figured that since you uploaded the podcast, you might
Speaker 1: have an idea. Thanks a ton for any help you
Speaker 1: can provide. Hope your birthday bash was a raging success
Speaker 1: from Anna. That was the middle of last week, in
Speaker 1: about six forty five or so.
Speaker 4: Find it. I can find Oh.
Speaker 3: Man, I was gonna say it was. It was early
Speaker 3: in the show and then we.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm looking.
Speaker 1: Well, we were talking about and it was kind of funny.
Speaker 1: It came up out of nowhere and I don't remember
Speaker 1: what brought it up, but it was basically about for
Speaker 1: play and on the actual radio show we can't really
Speaker 1: get into like you know, like you know, like foreplay
Speaker 1: in the things that you do. So we were talking
Speaker 1: about how you when you get into the arena, the bed,
Speaker 1: you get into the arena, you have to like check
Speaker 1: each other's equipment and make sure everything is like all
Speaker 1: oiled up and loobed and inspected and you know, do
Speaker 1: a deep dive to make sure that your partner is
Speaker 1: ready for the battle. And we used a lot of
Speaker 1: funny euphemisms that I can't recreate right now, but it
Speaker 1: was funny, yep, and very accurate.
Speaker 4: So when was this, Bailey, I'm looking.
Speaker 3: I feel like it was two weeks ago. I don't
Speaker 3: know if it was just last week.
Speaker 1: It could have been, but I would say it was
Speaker 1: definitely during like the six forty six thirty five part
Speaker 1: of the show. Yeah, but thank you, Anna, and again
Speaker 1: thank you for having us up to ride horses. That
Speaker 1: was one of my favorite things we did this summer.
Speaker 1: Chow Rights in regular staff writer talking about ghosts from
Speaker 1: the last episode, have you guys ever been to the
Speaker 1: restaurant four pause in Saint Paul. It's in an historic
Speaker 1: building and there are a lot of spooky things that
Speaker 1: happened there. So it looks like the haunted mansion at
Speaker 1: the State Fair. It really does. They painted it all
Speaker 1: black for effect, and it is probably one hundred and
Speaker 1: twenty year old mansion from you know, from one hundred
Speaker 1: and twenty years ago, and it's a restaurant, and I
Speaker 1: think I went there many years ago. Yeah, And the
Speaker 1: only thing I remember about going there is we went
Speaker 1: with another couple. So it was me and my fiance
Speaker 1: at the time and another couple, and my fiance had
Speaker 1: a crush on the guy half of the other couple.
Speaker 1: And she wasn't really somebody who laughed easily, like if
Speaker 1: I said something witty, I would get like kind of
Speaker 1: a u and she was not, but she wouldn't laugh
Speaker 1: at my jokes. But this other guy, who was very handsome,
Speaker 1: and he was a cop, so he was very fit.
Speaker 1: Whenever he would say something mildly funny, she would be like, oh,
Speaker 1: And I noticed this through dinner and I afterward, I said,
Speaker 1: you got a little crush on Danny, don't you, And
Speaker 1: she's like, no, why, And I said, because every time
Speaker 1: he said something mildly funny, you would laugh. And I
Speaker 1: think that's how one way you can tell when a woman,
Speaker 1: and I don't know if it goes the other way,
Speaker 1: has a crush on you. Because there was a mom
Speaker 1: in our Scout group, so we would have parent meetings
Speaker 1: at somebody's house like once a month, and whenever I
Speaker 1: would say something mildly funny, this other mom would laugh
Speaker 1: like it was the funniest thing she ever heard. And
Speaker 1: I think it was because she had a little bit
Speaker 1: of a crush on me. This was ten years ago,
Speaker 1: when I was still moderately attractive, and I think that's
Speaker 1: one of the things, like a girl will laugh at
Speaker 1: a guy if she has a crush on him. Yeah,
Speaker 1: anything to that.
Speaker 4: I think that's true.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I think you might give more attention, but I'm not
Speaker 3: going to laugh at a stupid joke if I don't
Speaker 3: think it's funny, you know. But yeah, you definitely like
Speaker 3: have your eyes are locked on that person, and you're.
Speaker 2: Probably smiling a little bit.
Speaker 4: More than you do.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I feel like every I think it was
Speaker 5: the laughter and the touching of the shoulder or the knee.
Speaker 5: And I literally read that you're supposed to do that
Speaker 5: in like Cosmo or something when I was like fifteen
Speaker 5: years old. Like if you have a crush and a guy,
Speaker 5: laugh more when he tucks, and make sure to touch
Speaker 5: him whenever you have the upportunity so it knows.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, the scout mom didn't touch me. That would
Speaker 1: have been awkward, and you know her husband was right
Speaker 1: there too, But yeah, I think sometimes that's a sign.
Speaker 1: Next one from Carmen, a regular staff writer. Good morning,
Speaker 1: Bailey's party was amazing and I'm so glad i went.
Speaker 1: I thought for sure my anxiety would get the best
Speaker 1: of me. Thankfully, Elia, it didn't. It's always great to
Speaker 1: catch up with you, Dave and bitch. Keep lifting those
Speaker 1: weights or I will tell your trainer to give you
Speaker 1: more burpies. Jenny Bailey Vant talk about some kind souls. Jenny,
Speaker 1: I really thought you were a lot taller, But girl,
Speaker 1: can you hold a booty class? I need a booty
Speaker 1: like that. Jenny and Bailey are both gorgeous and simply
Speaker 1: the sweetest people I've ever met. Now, vont there's something
Speaker 1: about you that is so calming and easy to talk
Speaker 1: to you and my husband said he would be your
Speaker 1: bodyguard anytime. Thank you all for sharing your lives with
Speaker 1: us and putting smiles on all of our faces. What's
Speaker 1: interesting is that Carmen. I've known Carmen for twenty years
Speaker 1: because we met on a station trip to Wisconsin Dell's
Speaker 1: and she has a boy Carson's age, so we kind
Speaker 1: of hung out together that weekend. Yeah, and Carmen does
Speaker 1: not strike me as any kind of social anxiety at all,
Speaker 1: because she's outgoing, she's funny. Yeah, she's got a great.
Speaker 4: Laugh, great hair, Yeah, what I expect.
Speaker 5: I had a vision of what she looked like in
Speaker 5: my brain, so when I met her, I was like,
Speaker 5: oh my god, No one looks the way that I
Speaker 5: think that they look in real life, which is no fun.
Speaker 4: No.
Speaker 1: So it was just interesting that even somebody who seems
Speaker 1: really gregarious and outgoing can still have anxiety and social anxiety.
Speaker 1: But for what it's worth, Carmen, you know what, fuck
Speaker 1: you And that's a joke. Well that's a joke because
Speaker 1: that's how Carmen and I talk to each other. We
Speaker 1: call each other bitch. I make certain jokes to her
Speaker 1: that are very inappropriate because she does the same thing
Speaker 1: to me. So I thought I share that one.
Speaker 5: Can I tell you that I found the podcast episode
Speaker 5: that had the Arena of.
Speaker 4: Love information back, Okay, tell me more.
Speaker 5: September thirteenth, the six AM hour. The title of the
Speaker 5: show is my Name's not Joanne, and we'll talk about
Speaker 5: it in there.
Speaker 1: Okay, my name's not Joanne. How do we get that name?
Speaker 5: It's it was like a oh, Joanne, I love you
Speaker 5: so much. My name's not Joanne. I don't know, Dave.
Speaker 5: It was something that we all laughed at.
Speaker 4: So I wrote it down, and that's the title.
Speaker 1: I just asked, you got shut What day was that again?
Speaker 5: Six am hour on September thirteenth, so weakish.
Speaker 4: Ten days ago, ten days or so ago?
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, next one it says, don't say my
Speaker 1: name hello. I am pissed at the weather apps. Let
Speaker 1: me explain for the background. I've been listening since two
Speaker 1: thousand and five. I've never met Dave. I'll often say
Speaker 1: to my husband, Dave said, and he'll ing her up
Speaker 1: with Dave Ryan or Dave your uncle. Nine out of
Speaker 1: ten times it's Dave Ryan. So obviously I was excited
Speaker 1: to meet you all. I had Bailey's birthday on my
Speaker 1: physical kitchen calendar since it was announced.
Speaker 3: Yay.
Speaker 1: But then today my weather apps were saying severe weather
Speaker 1: possible strong winds, watch for large hail, and radar showed
Speaker 1: red during your event. Uugh. Well, I recently had my
Speaker 1: car stolen and now I have a new vehicle, so
Speaker 1: I was worried that if I go, my new car
Speaker 1: would be destroyed by hail. Come five thirty, nothing, not
Speaker 1: even rain. The apps lied. I didn't get to support
Speaker 1: Bailey on her birthday and meet you guys. I don't
Speaker 1: have a point except to say I'm really sad I
Speaker 1: didn't get to go to the birthday party and happy
Speaker 1: belated birthday, Bailey. That's weird. There was no rain or
Speaker 1: any of there was. Well, now there.
Speaker 2: Was right on the schedule.
Speaker 3: There was a lot of stuff, like I had had
Speaker 3: an event earlier that day, and so I was like
Speaker 3: looking at the weather and yeah, it was literally four
Speaker 3: to like seven pm, and said there was like a
Speaker 3: really high chance of rain. I don't know if I
Speaker 3: saw hail or anything, but there was supposed to be thunderstorms.
Speaker 5: Yes, And I thought that that might happen, that people
Speaker 5: would not come because of the weather, because I even
Speaker 5: had who are like, hey, it's supposed to be really
Speaker 5: bad weather.
Speaker 4: What's the rain. Likes the rain date or whatever. I
Speaker 4: feel like there isn't one. It's inside so right, And.
Speaker 3: I actually wasn't even positive if we were like inside
Speaker 3: for sure we or it was planned to be outside
Speaker 3: or not. So I think that's why I was looking
Speaker 3: at the weather.
Speaker 1: But yeah, what a cool place though, Forgotten Star really cool. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I did not have the purple Bailey's whatever seltzer.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the seltzer. It was good.
Speaker 5: I had to buy it on the way out because
Speaker 5: I didn't have any drinks while I was there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Dad, did you know that Billy didn't have a
Speaker 2: single drink. She was so busy talking to people.
Speaker 1: I believe that. Yeah, no, we do. We get so
Speaker 1: busy one thing that I feel bad that there's nothing
Speaker 1: I can do about it, and I'm not complaining. But
Speaker 1: when we go to events like that, I want to mingle.
Speaker 1: I want to move around the room and I want
Speaker 1: to like go say hi to like this friend, or
Speaker 1: maybe I see somebody who came by themselves and I
Speaker 1: want to go, like say hi. You know, Like there
Speaker 1: was a woman named Barbie and she came by herself
Speaker 1: and I've met before, but I you know, I bought
Speaker 1: her a drink when she first came in because she
Speaker 1: came in and looked around like I don't know anybody,
Speaker 1: and I said, hey, come here, and I brought her
Speaker 1: into a circle of people were talking to and so
Speaker 1: I bought her a drink and we're chat chat chatting,
Speaker 1: and then I looked up a little while later and
Speaker 1: she was sitting by herself. And but my my thing
Speaker 1: was people will you know if they come up and
Speaker 1: they start talking to you, and that's great and we
Speaker 1: love that, that's what we're there for. Yeah, but then
Speaker 1: what people will do is they'll line up like another
Speaker 1: one will get behind them and then line up, and
Speaker 1: then that kind of roots you to one spot where
Speaker 1: you it you know, it's it's then it becomes like
Speaker 1: a meat and greet. Yes, And I want to be
Speaker 1: able to mingle and walk around and go say hi
Speaker 1: to like Bailey's mom who showed up and Ronda was
Speaker 1: sitting by herself part of the time, and I want
Speaker 1: to go flirt with your mama, okay, because you know
Speaker 1: your mom's kind of hot. I'd hit that. Now I'm
Speaker 1: trying to get a reaction out of you. Does that
Speaker 1: any reaction out of you at all? No?
Speaker 5: I mean, she'd probably be thrilled if you wanted to,
Speaker 5: you know, flirt with her a little bit, because she
Speaker 5: would also probab not know what to say, so.
Speaker 1: She'd be like, So I felt a little bit bad
Speaker 1: that we were rooted to one spot and I couldn't
Speaker 1: mingle around and go flirt with your mom. But I'm
Speaker 1: not complaining because people want to come up and say, Hi, Yeah,
Speaker 1: what am I gonna do? Say? I gotta go, thanks
Speaker 1: for waiting in line, I'm gonna go talk to somebody else.
Speaker 5: So right, and your line was kind of like a
Speaker 5: significant line. I had people talking to me the whole night,
Speaker 5: but it was kind of like they were like a
Speaker 5: little cloud of people. So I would see their eyes
Speaker 5: scan as I was talking to someone else. I'd be like, oh,
Speaker 5: I have to talk to that person, and then I
Speaker 5: would see somebody else, and et.
Speaker 4: Cetera, et cetera.
Speaker 5: I had some of my friends there too that I
Speaker 5: didn't even get to talk to. So yeah, that's fine, and.
Speaker 1: You know what, and sometimes that's how it is. It's
Speaker 1: probably like if you're like the bride or a groom
Speaker 1: at a wedding, yes, and you want to walk around
Speaker 1: and talk to everybody, Yes, but you know, if you
Speaker 1: really can't, then you'll won't get to say hi to
Speaker 1: your cousin April, who drove all all the way for
Speaker 1: Milwaukee to be there, and then you're like, fuck, April
Speaker 1: was there. I never even got to say hi to her.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's what I had friends that were there that
Speaker 5: literally just got married last year, and they were like,
Speaker 5: this feels like a wedding.
Speaker 4: This feels like you're getting married and you can't talk.
Speaker 5: To anybody because and I'd be like, yeah, I know,
Speaker 5: isn't that well, oh gotta run hold on bye. So yeah,
Speaker 5: but I just made me think like, dang, I ever
Speaker 5: want to get married. This is exhausting. This is only
Speaker 5: two hours.
Speaker 1: I think a wedding day would really literally be exhausting.
Speaker 1: I really think it would, because you know, you get married,
Speaker 1: but then you're you're kind of on the whole.
Speaker 4: Day, right, Yeah.
Speaker 5: And that's how I felt at the birthday party, obviously
Speaker 5: because it was mine. But I went home and I
Speaker 5: was exhausted because I was just on the whole day.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, all right.
Speaker 1: Next one, first time writing to the Minnesota Goodbye longtime
Speaker 1: listeners since August eleventh of twenty eleven.
Speaker 4: Wow.
Speaker 1: Thanks for keeping track. Not sure if it's ever come up,
Speaker 1: but I'm curious how Bailey moved to Florida and worked
Speaker 1: at Disney. Was the move a personal choice? Was it
Speaker 1: move with a boyfriend? Obviously? I understand it's a touch
Speaker 1: if it's a touchy subject. Since I've never heard the story,
Speaker 1: no need to respond. Not sure if this qualifies for
Speaker 1: a staff writer sticker, but I would love one. If
Speaker 1: you're still doing those, thank you dart click lick lick.
Speaker 1: I would send you one, but you did not include
Speaker 1: your mailing address, so write me back. Include your mailing address.
Speaker 1: We will make sure that Secretary Breez sends you one.
Speaker 1: Tell me about Florida.
Speaker 5: I moved to Florida right after I graduated college, and
Speaker 5: I graduated college early, and honestly, I did not know
Speaker 5: what I wanted to do with my life.
Speaker 4: I didn't have like.
Speaker 5: Any like cool sweet internships lined up, because I feel
Speaker 5: like you hear about those all the time, but those
Speaker 5: are from the people who are like successfully getting them,
Speaker 5: and not necessarily the people who don't. So I did
Speaker 5: not get any cool fun internships. So I thought, you know,
Speaker 5: what would be cool and fun that I could do
Speaker 5: for half of a year, and so I moved to
Speaker 5: Disney World to work at Disney World.
Speaker 1: What a cool adventure, though, how did you work there?
Speaker 5: I worked there, So my program was like seven months long,
Speaker 5: and then I went seasonal and I.
Speaker 4: Worked there for two more years.
Speaker 1: I didn't know you were there that long. Did you
Speaker 1: live there the entire time?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 5: I lived there for my program, yeah, and then I
Speaker 5: would live with my friend as I came back for
Speaker 5: like three months at a time each year.
Speaker 1: And that is it the Minnesota goodbye. Thanks for listening.
