Speaker 1: We never actually mentioned nine eleven on the show today,
Speaker 1: and it was kind of like we didn't mean to
Speaker 1: not mention nine to eleven. And it's kind of a
Speaker 1: shame that, you know, nobody's forgotten about nine to eleven.
Speaker 1: And I think that my experiences in the last couple
Speaker 1: of years will mention nine to eleven and it doesn't
Speaker 1: seem to touch a nerve. And I wonder if it's
Speaker 1: because there are so many people who don't remember. Because
Speaker 1: if you were five years old on nine to eleven,
Speaker 1: now you're twenty eight, you just don't remember it. But
Speaker 1: if you're forty eight, you absolutely do. Fifty eight sixty eight,
Speaker 1: you absolutely do. I remember. I'm going to tell my
Speaker 1: nine to eleven story.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was going to ask were you here?
Speaker 1: No, I had a day off that day. I was
Speaker 1: sick and I never ever ever call in sick. Knock
Speaker 1: on wood. Yeah, that day I called in sick. And
Speaker 1: I woke up probably around seven forty five, eight o'clock
Speaker 1: as the between the first between the first and second
Speaker 1: plane hitting the towers. So I turn on the radio
Speaker 1: and it's Pat Eberts, who was on the show, and
Speaker 1: Angie Taylor, and they're on the phone with somebody, and
Speaker 1: this person lives in New York. And this person is
Speaker 1: talking about how there's a plane it hit the World
Speaker 1: Trade Center. And I'm listening to this and I wasn't
Speaker 1: getting it yet, and I remember thinking, oh God, here
Speaker 1: goes Pat blowing something out of proportion again, because that
Speaker 1: was kind of Pat's, you know, personality. And so I
Speaker 1: listened more and than I realized what I was hearing.
Speaker 1: Then I turned on the TV and by the time
Speaker 1: I turned on the TV, the second plane had already hit.
Speaker 1: Now I remember I was sick as a dog, and
Speaker 1: I don't call in sick unless I'm really sick. So
Speaker 1: I'm on the couch wearing my pj's watching this on TV.
Speaker 1: And it is smoking and the towers are billowing smoke,
Speaker 1: and I remember thinking, man, how are they ever going
Speaker 1: to fix that? How are they going to repair that?
Speaker 1: How are they going to get a crane up eighty
Speaker 1: five stories to repair this? Look at the big hole
Speaker 1: in the building and wow, yeah, And then I forget
Speaker 1: what happened. Next they said something like a plane just
Speaker 1: hit the Pentagon and I was like, no, no, but
Speaker 1: there's an explosion at the Pentagon and and they were
Speaker 1: speculating it was a gas explosion, and then they talked
Speaker 1: about the other plane, the one in Pennsylvania. Then I'm
Speaker 1: watching the towers, just watching them billow smoke. And at
Speaker 1: this point nobody knew they weren't zooming in on the
Speaker 1: people that are waving sheets and towels and tablecloths. They
Speaker 1: weren't zooming in on the jumpers. We didn't find out
Speaker 1: about the jumpers until later. And you're watching in this
Speaker 1: smoke and you just think, oh my god, that's horrible
Speaker 1: and horrible and surreal. And then the first one collapsed
Speaker 1: and it collapsed straight down, which I don't know anything
Speaker 1: about explosives, explosives or kinetics. Is that what it's called
Speaker 1: something like that. I don't know anything about that. But
Speaker 1: it wouldn't fall over sideways. It collapsed straight down and
Speaker 1: all the way down, not just part all the way down,
Speaker 1: because once that momentum got going, it just collapsed everything
Speaker 1: underneath it. And it was fucking surreal and you'd never
Speaker 1: seen anything like it. And I went to the doctor
Speaker 1: that morning because I was sick, and the doctor had
Speaker 1: the radio plane and everybody was just kind of quiet
Speaker 1: and listening. And that night I remember they grounded every flight.
Speaker 1: They grounded every flight, and the only plane there was
Speaker 1: a plane flying in circles over like the chan Hassen
Speaker 1: Minneapolis area, probably a fighter plane, just circling and circling,
Speaker 1: because all the flights were grounded. So if you were
Speaker 1: on your way to San Diego and you were over Reno,
Speaker 1: guess what They're going to land in Reno. Now you're
Speaker 1: in Reno. How you get home from Reno? Well, you
Speaker 1: either drove or rented a car, or a lot of
Speaker 1: people took the train or hitched a ride or whatever
Speaker 1: that way for a week or so that they wouldn't
Speaker 1: let airplanes fly.
Speaker 2: Yeah, dang, was it really that long a week?
Speaker 1: I don't remember for sure.
Speaker 3: Maybe maybe my mom used to travel for work a lot,
Speaker 3: and I feel like it was maybe a couple weeks
Speaker 3: after nine to eleven that she was set to go
Speaker 3: to Chicago. But then I mean literally any major city.
Speaker 3: There was talk that it would happen again in a
Speaker 3: major city, so they canceled her trip because they were like, well,
Speaker 3: we don't want this to happen to the Sears Tower,
Speaker 3: so we're going to cancel all of these trips, which
Speaker 3: I was fine with because I thought, well, if this
Speaker 3: happened in New York, it's going to happen to my
Speaker 3: mom too.
Speaker 1: We flew about two weeks later to Las Vegas for
Speaker 1: our anniversary, and even then we were a little bit nervous.
Speaker 1: And that's when they really implemented the crazy security lines. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because it used to be kind of like you breeze
Speaker 1: security with a cannon. You go through security with a
Speaker 1: can of gas in one hand, they stick of dynamite
Speaker 1: in the other hand and they'd walk through. That's a
Speaker 1: joke and then but now the lines were ridiculous and long.
Speaker 1: So that night I knew, and I'm gonna go ahead
Speaker 1: and take credit for this one, because if I don't
Speaker 1: give myself credit, nobody else will. I said, we all
Speaker 1: need to do a powerful group radio morning show with
Speaker 1: all of the morning people from all the big stations
Speaker 1: on one station, simulcasted on all of the stations. So
Speaker 1: it was me, John Hines, probably Lee Volsvick, maybe I
Speaker 1: don't remember, but everybody got together at the k Fan
Speaker 1: studio and did a morning show and talked about nine
Speaker 1: to eleven. Because it was so fucking surreal, I couldn't
Speaker 1: even imagine you're old enough to remember it. Bailey.
Speaker 3: I was in fifth grade and I was watching TV
Speaker 3: and my mom called me right before I had to
Speaker 3: leave to walk to school, and she said, you need
Speaker 3: to switch the channel and then watch the news. And
Speaker 3: I was like, okay, I have to go right now.
Speaker 3: So I turned it literally saw like a plane hit
Speaker 3: the thing and I was like, well, that's weird. And
Speaker 3: then walk to school so it was weird. And then
Speaker 3: they had to you know, like roll the TVs into
Speaker 3: all of the rooms that had the news playing and
Speaker 3: we all got to go home early.
Speaker 2: But I tennis, Yeah, I was. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I was like so young though, so like my brain
Speaker 3: didn't think, oh, this is such a terrible, terrible event.
Speaker 3: I was just thinking my birthday is soon and this
Speaker 3: is really gonna hurt my birthday because I was ten.
Speaker 1: No, I get it right.
Speaker 3: You know, so like I sound like a jerk thinking that,
Speaker 3: but I was like, well this sucks.
Speaker 1: No, you didn't know, Yeah, And I think that's why
Speaker 1: a lot of people. See I remember the emotional impact
Speaker 1: of all the people who died and died instantly, and
Speaker 1: I think about the people in those poor people in
Speaker 1: the plane who were terrified. You know, you're on a trip.
Speaker 1: You're on a leisurely early morning trip to San Francisco,
Speaker 1: and you're getting your coffee and you're unfolding your newspaper
Speaker 1: to read it, and all of a sudden, people are
Speaker 1: killed right in front of you. They like killed the
Speaker 1: pilot or the flight attendants, and they said we're going
Speaker 1: to blow up the plane or whatever, but they didn't
Speaker 1: know that they were going to die instantly. You couldn't
Speaker 1: see the towers coming. So when you're in like you know,
Speaker 1: row forty two two ct B, you might look out
Speaker 1: the window and say, god, we're awfully low, but you
Speaker 1: don't know that you're about to die by hitting the towers.
Speaker 1: So to me, it was just really horribly sad in
Speaker 1: so many ways. So we didn't mention it today, but
Speaker 1: I will tell you one final story a couple of
Speaker 1: days later, that we did the huge American flag made
Speaker 1: out of single cards, like everybody held a red, whd
Speaker 1: er blue card, and we went to the National Sports
Speaker 1: Center and plane and we made a giant American flag.
Speaker 1: It was all over network news. We were all over
Speaker 1: the news, and we had a helicopter flying over and
Speaker 1: we had Michelle Mann, a local singer sing the national anthem.
Speaker 1: Everybody in that moment was very patriotic, and I think
Speaker 1: that was one of the last times our country was
Speaker 1: patriotic together.
Speaker 2: Sure was like right after nine eleven.
Speaker 1: After that, the only thing that brings us together is
Speaker 1: every four years when there's the Olympics.
Speaker 2: Yep, that's pretty much it.
Speaker 1: That's it all right, Let's get on with the Minnesota
Speaker 1: goodbye emails. Let's go to ooh, there's a selection. I
Speaker 1: gotta kind of go through here. Here we go. A
Speaker 1: couple of thoughts on the Minnesota Goodbye Don't say my name.
Speaker 1: This is no judgment at all, just curious when people
Speaker 1: say their children are big fans of the show. To me,
Speaker 1: it seems like most of the content on the show
Speaker 1: is either borderline inappropriate, war the roses, or but just
Speaker 1: go over the heads of young kids. Have y' all
Speaker 1: talked to kids of their parents and found out why
Speaker 1: they love your show so much? It's so interesting to me.
Speaker 1: I agree. We'll meet people who got little five year
Speaker 1: old Jimmy or eight year old Daisy Sue at the
Speaker 1: state Fair and they love to listen to the show.
Speaker 1: I think mom or dad turns it off when War
Speaker 1: of the Roses comes on, or the kids just don't
Speaker 1: get it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that's that. I think it's also the
Speaker 4: music we play. It appeals to like younger kids, it's
Speaker 4: pop music. I think also that kids hear one certain
Speaker 4: thing that they think is funny and then they cling
Speaker 4: onto it. Like I had someone DM me saying that
Speaker 4: they heard Dave say poop in the matter of like
Speaker 4: three times in like two minutes, and now the kids
Speaker 4: are like, let's listen to the Poop Morning Show.
Speaker 1: I heard that too.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: So it's like so I feel like kids just kind
Speaker 4: of hear one thing and their brains just cling on
Speaker 4: to it if they liked it, and they'll they're like,
Speaker 4: oh I love that show, yes, but they don't really
Speaker 4: know what we're talking about.
Speaker 1: How right now? You used to listen genuinely when you
Speaker 1: were a little girl.
Speaker 3: I was like five when I started listening, and it
Speaker 3: was honestly, it was because it was on in the
Speaker 3: room that my mom was in, and so I would
Speaker 3: just be hearing it kind of through my mom. And
Speaker 3: if my mom was a fan of anything, I was
Speaker 3: a fan of that thing as well.
Speaker 2: So she liked it.
Speaker 3: So I liked it, but we would like go out
Speaker 3: to do like the meet and greet stuff that you
Speaker 3: guys would do all the time as kids and be like,
Speaker 3: we're huge fans.
Speaker 1: I think it's one of the cool things about you
Speaker 1: being on the show now is you actually used to
Speaker 1: listen to the show. And the same thing with Lena.
Speaker 1: Lena used to listen to the show. She grew up
Speaker 1: listening to the show, so she knew all about this
Speaker 1: and that and this.
Speaker 3: And I mean not even just used to like before
Speaker 3: I even started subbing, I listened to the show normally.
Speaker 3: I remember walking up to Fallin at the fair and
Speaker 3: being like, congrats, we'll miss you on the morning show.
Speaker 3: And I had no idea I would be on ever.
Speaker 1: That's crazy. Wow. She also goes on to say I
Speaker 1: am a little over two years postpartum, and ever since
Speaker 1: I weaned from breastfeeding, I have packed on the pounds,
Speaker 1: Like the weight just keeps going up, even though I
Speaker 1: haven't changed much about my lifestyle. I'm officially forty pounds
Speaker 1: overweight and really struggling to love myself. I have thyroid
Speaker 1: and blood test done. Anyway, if other listeners want to
Speaker 1: share experience with postpartum weight gain, that's great, or if
Speaker 1: anyone in the show wants to share experiences on how
Speaker 1: to love yourself during difficult times, thanks y'all. And I
Speaker 1: won't say her name. Nobody in the show has any
Speaker 1: experience with that one. But I don't really have much
Speaker 1: to add on that one.
Speaker 3: Well, my sister had a baby and she gained a
Speaker 3: ton of weight even like after she was done breastfeeding,
Speaker 3: So you're definitely not alone. And she's like super frustrated
Speaker 3: with it as well. But I mean, she hasn't like
Speaker 3: tried anything that has helped a lot. So I don't
Speaker 3: have any advice there, but you're not alone.
Speaker 1: I will only just throw in a tiny little observation
Speaker 1: and that you can take it with a grain of salt.
Speaker 1: And I think that I don't know anything about postpartumit,
Speaker 1: nursing or anything like that, but this is just what
Speaker 1: I'm going to say. One thing that I've learned about
Speaker 1: weight loss from Livia is sometimes we don't realize that
Speaker 1: we're eating more than we think, and it's just true,
Speaker 1: that's just how we are. So Livia said, hey, here's
Speaker 1: something you might want to try. Just really write down,
Speaker 1: put in your note section like what you eat all day, right,
Speaker 1: and it's like, oh, yeah, I forgot that. I ate that.
Speaker 1: I will literally forget that I had a three egg
Speaker 1: cheese omelet and I'm like, oh, yeah, oh I forgot
Speaker 1: about that.
Speaker 2: Right that?
Speaker 3: Or you don't know the fat that's in foods because
Speaker 3: you guys pointed it out to me. I was eating
Speaker 3: beef jerky and I was like, this is good for you.
Speaker 3: It's meat because it's prote jerky, right, And then you
Speaker 3: guys are like, yeah, there's a ton of fat in that.
Speaker 4: But there are those that are really good, like jerky
Speaker 4: that have just like lower lower stuff, So it's not
Speaker 4: like all jerky's bad. It's just yeah, that that helps.
Speaker 4: And also I think she asked if there's anything that
Speaker 4: we do to help ourselves out, just.
Speaker 2: One more down?
Speaker 4: In general for me, I kind of have like I
Speaker 4: need like goals to reach, so I start writing things
Speaker 4: down and then I feel more accomplished.
Speaker 2: Like a to do list.
Speaker 4: Yeah, like to do lists, or like if I was
Speaker 4: ever training for something, I like would literally print out
Speaker 4: the schedule of my training so I could just cross
Speaker 4: off that day and be like, all right, I accomplished
Speaker 4: this ten mile bike ride today. So I feel like
Speaker 4: maybe setting up some goals for yourself that you write
Speaker 4: down that you can physically see every day will help
Speaker 4: you just like get out and do more things.
Speaker 1: Sure, I think that one of the things that I
Speaker 1: struggle with is I've always said, well, i can eat
Speaker 1: the Culver's butterburger, but then I'm going to go for
Speaker 1: a run. And I did learn that you cannot exercise
Speaker 1: away a bad diet. It helps. Yeah, I mean you
Speaker 1: can go out for a walk, and I'm going to
Speaker 1: tell you this one big shock. Walking is a great exercise,
Speaker 1: but our bodies are so adapt adept at walking thanks
Speaker 1: to it. They're so good at it that it's not
Speaker 1: a good calorie burn because our bodies are so like
Speaker 1: there's a better word than adept at walking. The efficient
Speaker 1: is probably our bodies are so efficient at walking that
Speaker 1: it burns minimal calories. Because I'll go for a five
Speaker 1: mile walk, I'll get back and it's like two hundred
Speaker 1: and thirty calories.
Speaker 4: Fuck, that cannot be right after five miles.
Speaker 1: I'm just guessing.
Speaker 3: I don't know more than that, you're to like pick
Speaker 3: up your mood though, Like I started walking during lockdown
Speaker 3: and I now I like look forward to it all
Speaker 3: the time because it is such a moodlifter. And what
Speaker 3: I really what I started doing is that I would
Speaker 3: literally just walk out my front door and say, okay,
Speaker 3: am I going to go left or right?
Speaker 2: And then I would just continue doing that.
Speaker 3: Throughout this whole walk and I got to explore like
Speaker 3: a huge like I don't know three of the neighboring
Speaker 3: neighborhoods around me, and now I know where everything is,
Speaker 3: like within five mile radius of my home. And that
Speaker 3: was really fun to like explore like where I was
Speaker 3: and look inside of other people's houses because they got
Speaker 3: big old windows.
Speaker 1: I think walking is a good move you to booster,
Speaker 1: and it is, but it's not the most efficient cary.
Speaker 2: Yeah for Callori, But if you're just looking for a
Speaker 2: pick me up, yeah, walking as.
Speaker 3: Fie for totally for totally for totally you guys.
Speaker 1: Angela writes in, because we were talking about KFC yesterday
Speaker 1: because Janita giving us a rant about the KFC ran
Speaker 1: out of chicken, and we talked about how nobody goes
Speaker 1: to KFC anymore, and Angela writes in says, the KFC
Speaker 1: by my house is always busy, I live in Oakdale.
Speaker 1: I love KFC and actually prefer it over any other
Speaker 1: chicken place. Good to know that they still have their supporters. Okay,
Speaker 1: here is a couple of different ones. Bailey, I am
Speaker 1: stressed the fuck out about flirting. Please help me. Oh God,
Speaker 1: I'm a bad bitch and a literal burlesque artist, but
Speaker 1: I'm also traumatized from my ex sleeping with my best
Speaker 1: friend back in December. What advice do you have for
Speaker 1: those who need to remember that they're hot as hell? Also,
Speaker 1: congratulations on the man moving out, Thank.
Speaker 2: You so well.
Speaker 3: Yeah, do burlesque, then I guaranteed you're hot already period.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 3: I don't know if you're asking the right person on
Speaker 3: like flirting tips or how to feel like a sexy
Speaker 3: bad bitch, because Dave even told me earlier today I've
Speaker 3: got terrible self esteem. But I would say, like, had
Speaker 3: you said you're not already doing burlesque, I thought that
Speaker 3: was that was my step into hating my body less.
Speaker 3: So I'm glad you're doing that. Hey, get into that somewhere.
Speaker 3: Maybe come up with a new act potentially and get
Speaker 3: that on a stage somewhere. Get people to throw money
Speaker 3: at you. Babe that sucks. Though about your ex that
Speaker 3: really does suck. That guy sounds like trash or that
Speaker 3: person sounds like trash. And your friend isn't a good
Speaker 3: friend period. You need better friends. So maybe look into
Speaker 3: taking a workshop or a class somewhere and meeting some cooler,
Speaker 3: better people. And in terms of flirting, I have no idea.
Speaker 2: I have no idea.
Speaker 1: We do like flirt lessons, we had to do like
Speaker 1: a scenario. Yeah, so let's say that I am an
Speaker 1: attractive defeat of Jesse James Day reenactor really got here.
Speaker 1: Let's say you go to Applebee's and it's after the
Speaker 1: and you're like, oh my god, that's him And I'm
Speaker 1: not in character right now, and I'm sitting there at
Speaker 1: the bar at Applebee's and you sit down next to
Speaker 1: me and you turn to your friend or your sister Madison,
Speaker 1: you go, oh my god, that's him. He's so and
Speaker 1: so go ahead and flirt.
Speaker 3: Can my pickup line as always, Hey, has anyone ever
Speaker 3: told you that you look like insert celebrity name here?
Speaker 3: Has anyone ever told you that you look like Clel
Speaker 3: Miller from the Defeat of Jesse?
Speaker 1: You know that's funny. You bring it up because I'm
Speaker 1: in the I'm actually a reenactor.
Speaker 4: Shut up.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's kind of fun.
Speaker 2: Wow, that's so cool and interesting. So how did you
Speaker 2: get into doing that?
Speaker 1: Well, you're really a boring conversation listener. No, actually, it's
Speaker 1: a good question. Was a good question.
Speaker 3: So when I ask that question, what, well, accept it's
Speaker 3: not really a question it does.
Speaker 2: Has anyone ever told you that you look like Trevor?
Speaker 3: No, Noah, They'll be like no, period and that's it
Speaker 3: and then that's the end of the conversation.
Speaker 1: Well, then that is rejection to you, right exactly. That's
Speaker 1: how you know they're not interesting.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Hey, the clock on the wall says we're out of
Speaker 1: time for the Minnesota Goodbye. Please send your emails in.
