Speaker 1: Oh all righty, welcome to the Minnesota Goodbye. I listened
Speaker 1: to a really interesting podcast yesterday when I was on
Speaker 1: the stair stepper over at Snap Fitness and was listen
Speaker 1: to one. It was about Siegfried and Roy. Let me
Speaker 1: see you I can find it because it was about
Speaker 1: because Roy was attacked by the tiger on stage in
Speaker 1: two thousand and three and well, you didn't die.
Speaker 2: It got like just maimed like soups maimed.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: It's called Wild Things and it is all about Uh.
Speaker 1: I want to see if it is I'm trying to
Speaker 1: figure out the name of it is Wild Things or
Speaker 1: if it's called The Pet Detective. I think it might
Speaker 1: be called The Pet Detective. Anyway, very interesting, all about
Speaker 1: what happened and nobody knows. But basically Roy was on
Speaker 1: stage with his tiger, and Siegfried and Roy were legendary
Speaker 1: show show magicians in Las Vegas, and they were there
Speaker 1: for years and years, and they were just so successful.
Speaker 1: And I saw their show many times. But they had
Speaker 1: live tigers and live lions and cheetahs and whatever, and
Speaker 1: you know, the animal rights people hated that. And but
Speaker 1: one day there was a white tiger and Roy was,
Speaker 1: you know, doing a trick with a white tiger, and
Speaker 1: the tiger batted at him, and so then Roy batted
Speaker 1: back or something. The tiger grabbed him.
Speaker 4: By the neck, yes, with like his mouth, yeah.
Speaker 1: And dragged him off stage. Now, you would think that's
Speaker 1: a lot of weight to care. The tiger's weigh about
Speaker 1: six hundred pounds.
Speaker 2: Tiger's weighed six hundred pounds.
Speaker 1: Six hundred pounds got and so he grabbed him by
Speaker 1: the next severed an artery. He started to bleed, had
Speaker 1: a stroke, then had another stroke, and it's just really interesting.
Speaker 1: They don't know what caused it, except they say that
Speaker 1: tigers can be trained, but never tamed. Yeah, And I
Speaker 1: thought that was really interesting. And they said it's amazing
Speaker 1: that it didn't happen sooner. And that was kind of
Speaker 1: the end of the hole. That was it never never
Speaker 1: recovered completely. And then I think sig freed. The blonde
Speaker 1: one died a few years ago. Anyway, that's one of
Speaker 1: the podcasts. That is another podcast you might want to
Speaker 1: check out. Okay, next one, let's get into it. I'm
Speaker 1: going to find a good one to start off with.
Speaker 1: All right, why not Jenny, Jenny, If you do get
Speaker 1: a chance to do angels landing. Do it, okay, that's
Speaker 1: what we talked about yesterday. It is a ridge in
Speaker 1: Utah where you climb up and it's a drop off
Speaker 1: on either side.
Speaker 4: It's in Zion National Park.
Speaker 1: I did it last fall. Was very nervous, but I
Speaker 1: felt in control and say for the most part, get
Speaker 1: cheap grippy gardening gloves and then it helps a lot. Also,
Speaker 1: go further up the West Room trail after angels landing
Speaker 1: scouts look out for even better views. You don't have
Speaker 1: to go far, just like a mile or so. Be
Speaker 1: in line for the first shuttle. You cannot drive a
Speaker 1: car to the trailhead Dave in the last year because
Speaker 1: I talked about I want to go to all these places,
Speaker 1: but they're so crowded. In the last two years we've
Speaker 1: been to Yosemite NP, I think is Rocky Mountin National Park,
Speaker 1: Mountaineer Olympic Call, Yellowstone, Grand Teeneton Channel Islands and GSNMP.
Speaker 1: I don't know what that is and we're headed to
Speaker 1: Death Valley soon. Crowds can be an issue, but to
Speaker 1: avoid them, go into the park before sunrise and leave
Speaker 1: the park around ten or eleven. Go relax and then
Speaker 1: head back to the park around five. You'd be amazed
Speaker 1: at some of the incredible areas you can have to
Speaker 1: yourself or with just a few others. We love grabbing
Speaker 1: a piece in the evening and headed back into the
Speaker 1: park to look for animals, go to overlook, etc.
Speaker 3: In the morning.
Speaker 1: We've done three am wake up times and hike with
Speaker 1: headlamps to get the trail to ourselves. That early of
Speaker 1: a time isn't necessary, but you really can't beat a
Speaker 1: mountain sunrise on a hiking trail. Happy travels. Thank you,
Speaker 1: Alisa or Alyssa, thank you very much. I will tell
Speaker 1: you that that is a very good piece of advice.
Speaker 1: When I did Pike's Peak, you can't even find a
Speaker 1: parking space after sunrise, and the parking spaces were filling
Speaker 1: up at four am when I went there. Seems good advice.
Speaker 1: Delete on that one so I won't accidentally read it
Speaker 1: again tomorrow. I wonder how many times I've done that.
Speaker 4: I don't think.
Speaker 5: I think Billy and I kind of look at each
Speaker 5: other if we think you're doing your reading this.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, this is a very interesting one. Hello
Speaker 1: morning crew. I got a question and no my intention
Speaker 1: is not to infuriate listeners with the ever so tempting
Speaker 1: the world is too soft vitriol. Have the rules of
Speaker 1: censorship changed, I ask you, because you're obviously in the
Speaker 1: radio industry and probably have a well known blacklist of
Speaker 1: what can and cannot be said on the radio. I
Speaker 1: noticed this watching several YouTube video essays on YouTube where
Speaker 1: I work. I also notice on TikTok it's like people
Speaker 1: speak in code now. Murder or killing has become unliving. Yes,
Speaker 1: shooting has become pew pew, rape has become grape, or
Speaker 1: even just the emoji of grapes, et cetera. Or they'll
Speaker 1: completely blurt or silence words altogether. I've seen where a
Speaker 1: word a letter of a word is replaced by an asterisk.
Speaker 1: For example, porn or penis will the e or the
Speaker 1: vowel will become an asterisk. There are many other examples.
Speaker 1: These are just the ones that I've cataloged for the
Speaker 1: purpose of picking your brains. I get it, none of
Speaker 1: these words are particularly warm and fuzzy, But are they
Speaker 1: really in need of censorship? Because then later in the
Speaker 1: same video the person might say fuck or shit without
Speaker 1: beleeping that So in summary, has censorship changed now? Is
Speaker 1: it about becoming about monitoring the real themes that are
Speaker 1: unsavory rather than the old school pearl clutching swear words.
Speaker 1: Let me know what you think, Jamie.
Speaker 2: I think so I know what you're talking about, and
Speaker 2: I see that mostly on TikTok, and I do believe
Speaker 2: you do get censored if you say certain words on TikTok,
Speaker 2: and not necessarily that they will like take your video off,
Speaker 2: but like, I think the TikTok algorithm can track what
Speaker 2: like the captions say, which is why they edit the
Speaker 2: captions to say something like grape instead so that the
Speaker 2: algorithm won't tag them and then push their video out
Speaker 2: to less.
Speaker 1: People because there might be a you know, if you're
Speaker 1: going to say something like oh I am going to
Speaker 1: murder that pizza, well that would get censored out along
Speaker 1: with what would legitimately need to be censored out, like
Speaker 1: oh yeah, I have a plan to murder my mother
Speaker 1: in law, right, so I can see it. But I
Speaker 1: think that the sensitivity thing is what I wonder about,
Speaker 1: because the world is full of things that you cannot
Speaker 1: shelter yourself from. You know, you cannot shelter yourself from
Speaker 1: you know, like Murder on the Orient Express was a
Speaker 1: big movie back in the seventies. Does that mean that
Speaker 1: no movie should ever dial m for murder was just
Speaker 1: at one of the theaters.
Speaker 2: Out in town, Yelltrie, Yeah, it's I think it's. I
Speaker 2: don't think it's necessarily the like we need to censor
Speaker 2: the word murder to like save people who are, you know,
Speaker 2: triggered by it. I think what they're talking about seems
Speaker 2: very specifically, like via social media, so that your video
Speaker 2: doesn't get censored, like by the company as a whole.
Speaker 5: It'll be taken down. Yeah, Like literally, if you use
Speaker 5: the word rape, it can be taken down. So I
Speaker 5: really think that people are doing what they're doing so
Speaker 5: that their video doesn't get taken like murder to anyone
Speaker 5: who's triggered.
Speaker 1: If I said I'm gonna unlive Bailey, should I say
Speaker 1: I'm gonna murder kill or on a live.
Speaker 2: Base, I would prefer assassinate.
Speaker 4: I would like for.
Speaker 1: That you be important for me to assassinate you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna do it all right.
Speaker 1: Next one is also about angels landing, and well, we're
Speaker 1: gonna go into this a little bit. I listened to
Speaker 1: Minnesota Goodbye Jenny were talking about Angels Landing. My friend
Speaker 1: and I did this hike a couple of years ago.
Speaker 1: We did have to sign up for a lottery months
Speaker 1: in advance, and we luckily got passes, so I'm not
Speaker 1: sure what the odds are. It was extremely hot, and
Speaker 1: we definitely underestimated the amount of water we would need
Speaker 1: for what seemed like a shorter hike distance wise. It's
Speaker 1: likely cooler this time of the year out there, though.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I will say the majority of the hike is a long, steep,
Speaker 1: but well maintained dirt or Great Apple trail with a
Speaker 1: lot of switchback yep.
Speaker 4: I've seen pictures of it as.
Speaker 1: A pretty avid hike here it was the most I've
Speaker 1: ever done. Eventually, you come to a landing, which my
Speaker 1: friend and I actually thought was the end until we
Speaker 1: looked around and be and saw the actual scary part
Speaker 1: of the hike. This part starts less than a mile
Speaker 1: from the end, which was actually not as scary or
Speaker 1: as busy as I thought it was going to be. Overall,
Speaker 1: was one of the most incredible hikes I've ever done,
Speaker 1: and not as scary as it looks. The chains are
Speaker 1: well placed and sturdy. As long as you pay attention
Speaker 1: to footing and go slow, there shouldn't be an issue.
Speaker 1: If you can, I one hundred percent recommend doing it well.
Speaker 1: For two years later, people are still astonished that I
Speaker 1: did it, and it always makes for a good fun
Speaker 1: factor story. I touched a couple of photos and you
Speaker 1: know we're on the radio, so the photos are you know,
Speaker 1: they're they don't really they're beautiful. But yeah, thank you
Speaker 1: all for your great content every day. I appreciate that.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Taylor. That is right up your alley to
Speaker 1: go do something like that. I have no desire to
Speaker 1: do something where there's a drop off, So yeah.
Speaker 4: We'll see.
Speaker 5: Like I said, I don't have a lottery, so if
Speaker 5: they do day of or like the day before, you
Speaker 5: can figure out if you can get one in the
Speaker 5: day of.
Speaker 4: So that'll just be a luck of the draft. We
Speaker 4: do get that.
Speaker 1: Okay, let's move up to another email. This is from Stephanie.
Speaker 1: Stephanie is a regular contributor staff writer. You guys mentioned
Speaker 1: the TV show Doctor Otissey recently and I saw it
Speaker 1: Papa and Hulu. I immediately thought about Joshua Jackson, who
Speaker 1: stars in it looked exactly like George Clooney in the
Speaker 1: stock photos they show with him on the boat. Doctor
Speaker 1: Ottissey was the show I stumbled upon on Hulu the
Speaker 1: other day, and it's like Love Boat, but it is
Speaker 1: with doctors instead of passengers.
Speaker 2: Yes, and I felt the same exact way as this
Speaker 2: emailer because he did look just like George Klute.
Speaker 1: I think so yeah. Fun fact, he was part of
Speaker 1: the Mighty Ducks when they were filling in Minnesota. They
Speaker 1: lived in my same apartment complex, Vicksburg Village in Plymouth.
Speaker 1: On my fifth birthday, and this is thirty ish years ago,
Speaker 1: my parents had reserved the party room for my little
Speaker 1: birthday party. The whole Mighty Ducks crew was doing homeschooling
Speaker 1: in that room and didn't realize it was reserved. My
Speaker 1: parents had arrived to put up the decorations when they
Speaker 1: ran into them. Well, they ended up staying for some
Speaker 1: of the party, and then they hung out with our
Speaker 1: family a lot because my older cousin happened to be
Speaker 1: staying with us, who was their same age. We have
Speaker 1: home footage of them somewhere playing with us in the
Speaker 1: pool and hanging out with my older cousin I know
Speaker 1: everybody in Minnesota has some sort of weird connection to
Speaker 1: the Mighty Ducks, but I'm pretty sure not many people
Speaker 1: have home footage of them at their birthday party, or
Speaker 1: in the hotel pool with them, or playing with them.
Speaker 1: Thought I would share.
Speaker 4: That's cool.
Speaker 3: That is cool, isn't it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you can't like usually boast that. Oh I had
Speaker 2: the Mighty Ducks at my birthday party, No big deal.
Speaker 2: I didn't even have to hire them. They just showed up.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that is cool, all right. This one starts off
Speaker 1: with Vaunt and Bailey have been the best addition to
Speaker 1: the show. I've been a huge fan listening since I
Speaker 1: was in fifth grade with my mom. When you guys
Speaker 1: always know how to make a person smile, especially Bailey
Speaker 1: with her contagious laugh ll. Then they start the email
Speaker 1: Hello friends, Darien here just turned the Minnesota Goodbye podcast
Speaker 1: where that twat decided to call construction workers fucking lazy
Speaker 1: and threw me over the edge when I heard that.
Speaker 1: I've been in construction since I was eighteen. I am
Speaker 1: now twenty nine. Let me start by saying, I don't
Speaker 1: speak on an occupation. You don't have any idea about
Speaker 1: sit down here are the reasons I could be standing
Speaker 1: around number one waiting for the tools or concrete. Number
Speaker 1: two trying to get a game plan together. Three taking
Speaker 1: a little fifteen minute break since we worked twelve plus
Speaker 1: hours a day that she clearly knows nothing about. Four
Speaker 1: something could have went wrong and they can't keep working
Speaker 1: for many reasons. And I might just add you, Okay.
Speaker 5: Jenny, we had dead air for a second because I
Speaker 5: put a pause in for that, and Vontes do in
Speaker 5: a meeting, so he wasn't in.
Speaker 3: There to warn me vants in a meeting.
Speaker 5: He's sorry. Emily asked him, We're fine. Emily asked him
Speaker 5: to be a part of this, like Champlain High School something,
Speaker 5: and I said, since we had a replay, now.
Speaker 3: Oh okay, go do it.
Speaker 1: Well a little behind the scenes drama here, I saw
Speaker 1: Jenny jump like, whoa well.
Speaker 5: Leave Allswick is the queen of helping out everyone if
Speaker 5: there's dead air. She's like, just ju to the studio
Speaker 5: that has dead air, because we have behind the scenes
Speaker 5: or something in every studio that says dead air if
Speaker 5: somebody has dead air, and it works for all the stations.
Speaker 5: So yeah, that, yeah, I'm sure we're gonna get plenty
Speaker 5: of texts now, Okay.
Speaker 1: I'm not worried about it anyway, So that was I'm
Speaker 1: not going to edit that out of the podcast because
Speaker 1: it was just kind of an interesting behind the scenes.
Speaker 1: So anyway, they go on to say, basically, we might
Speaker 1: be waiting for another company to show up and they
Speaker 1: haven't shown up yet, and I think he's jokingly pissed.
Speaker 1: I'm going to assume Darien is a guy jokingly pissed
Speaker 1: because he says, I can go on and on, but
Speaker 1: I think I got my point across. Don't speak on
Speaker 1: an occupation. You don't would You're so fucking clueless that
Speaker 1: you pissed me off. And then he says, thank you,
Speaker 1: hope you have a beautiful night. So I think that
Speaker 1: Darian is trying to be idiots.
Speaker 4: Thanks guys, having a good one.
Speaker 1: I think he's trying to be funny. Yeah, kind of
Speaker 1: like Jannita funny.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: I do wonder. I think the only thing that I
Speaker 2: always wonder about with construction is when there's like a
Speaker 2: project that gets started and then it's just like no,
Speaker 2: you never see anyone there working on it, but there
Speaker 2: are cones up for months and months or years. What
Speaker 2: happened to that?
Speaker 4: Maybe Darien knows, like why is no one.
Speaker 2: Working on it? I feel like I want to finish
Speaker 2: a project before I start a new one. And it
Speaker 2: seems like sometimes the projects are started and then they
Speaker 2: start another one, and then they start another one and
Speaker 2: then never finish. Well, some really big ones.
Speaker 1: Well, I want to say, the big one, Bailey they've
Speaker 1: never finished is right by the best By building on
Speaker 1: four ninety four. They started that in.
Speaker 3: Eighteen twelve, eighteen twelve.
Speaker 1: Same year as the War twelve they started that on
Speaker 1: four ninety four or right by best Buy, the best
Speaker 1: by Corporate. Yeah, and since eighteen twelve there's been fucking
Speaker 1: barrels and fucking cones and fucking dairy and leaning on
Speaker 1: a fucking shovel the entire fucking time. Fuck off, Dari
Speaker 1: And now I hope I may just smile, because that
Speaker 1: was my intent there. But don't you agree that four
Speaker 1: ninety four has been under construction since eighteen twelve?
Speaker 4: Yes?
Speaker 1: Probably next email, and this is from somebody who's listened
Speaker 1: to the show for a long time, but they don't
Speaker 1: write in very often. It is Sandy, we did cougar
Speaker 1: one oh one on the show a day or two ago,
Speaker 1: where we played a bunch of like, you know, late
Speaker 1: eighties early nineties music that the Cougars love to dance
Speaker 1: to when they go to the lookout and hold a
Speaker 1: Bacardi lamon in their hand and they've got their leopard skin,
Speaker 1: leopard print top on and they got the boobs out
Speaker 1: a little bit.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the girls are with them, Yeah.
Speaker 1: Exactly, And so we're having fun with the word cougar,
Speaker 1: Sandy writes in says Hello Morning show. Cougar is not
Speaker 1: a specific age or age range is defined below. Cougar
Speaker 1: is the slame term for a woman who seeks for
Speaker 1: romantic or sexual relationships with significantly younger men. Oh okay,
Speaker 1: I didn't know that. As a woman of a certain age,
Speaker 1: I'm offended by what you are calling a cougar. I've
Speaker 1: always understood this to be older woman dating or married
Speaker 1: to a much younger man. My husband is only four
Speaker 1: years younger than me, but likes to tease me that
Speaker 1: I'm a cougar, and I say it's only four years,
Speaker 1: not ten. Thanks for all the dart lick and entertainment
Speaker 1: and Bailey's uncomfortable laugh is the best new thing to
Speaker 1: hit The Dave Ryan Show. Do you have an uncomfortable laugh?
Speaker 3: I think it was uncomfortable. Maybe it's just so, is it.
Speaker 1: When Jenny and I say something like jizz Because a
Speaker 1: little while ago I was playing at zero rescanc a commercial, yeah,
Speaker 1: and I said, oh my god, you wouldn't believe what
Speaker 1: zero Res pulled out on my carpet. And Jenny, because
Speaker 1: she's filthy, she was a jizz.
Speaker 4: And You're like, what the fuck is happening right now?
Speaker 4: I don't know, was I awkwardly laughing?
Speaker 3: Then?
Speaker 1: Well, the funny thing is you can be filthy sometimes too,
Speaker 1: but most of the time you are the uncomfortable girl.
Speaker 1: So of Genny you'll say like, oh, I go, there's
Speaker 1: jizz everywhere. Then Bailey would be like.
Speaker 2: I feel like I would think that more so if
Speaker 2: you said it, if Jenny said, I'd be like, ah, nice,
Speaker 2: And then if you said it, I'd be like, you disgusting.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a double standard.
Speaker 3: It.
Speaker 5: I think it's hilarious that if anyone ever has any
Speaker 5: kind of white substance on them or around them, and
Speaker 5: people are filthy, they'll be like, it's jizz, when most
Speaker 5: of the time let's be honest.
Speaker 4: Jizz is like a clear liquid.
Speaker 5: It's not this like creamy, milky, cottage cheesy looking thing
Speaker 5: like I think of that because Vonn had something on
Speaker 5: his face.
Speaker 4: Yesterday and I was like, what do you got on there?
Speaker 4: Like I thought it was maybe lotion, And I don't
Speaker 4: know if I said it or he said it. He
Speaker 4: was like, jizz.
Speaker 5: I think he said it, and I was like, wow, okay,
Speaker 5: well that's what jizz looks like.
Speaker 1: But okay, should I tell my Julie story about the
Speaker 1: Ji's on her shirt? It's been a while since I've
Speaker 1: told it. Julie was chased his mom, and we were
Speaker 1: deeply in love, and she's dead now, so I'm not
Speaker 1: disparaging her memory. And I loved you and I miss
Speaker 1: her dearly. But when we were dating, we went to
Speaker 1: the video store and it was the middle of the afternoon,
Speaker 1: which I thought was a weird time for this to happen,
Speaker 1: but okay, So we were at the video store and
Speaker 1: I'm browsing the top rows of the videos and she's
Speaker 1: browsing just right in front of me, looking at the
Speaker 1: lower rows of the video. She's wearing a red polo
Speaker 1: shirt and had jizz all over the shoulder. And as
Speaker 1: a guy, you know you've gotten you know, guys get
Speaker 1: jis on different things, like their dashboard, mostly your ceilings, the.
Speaker 2: Cat with the cat no cattle walk by, and so
Speaker 2: anyway a guy will recognize dried jizz.
Speaker 1: And so I saw dried jizz on Julie's red shirt.
Speaker 1: It was unmistakable, and especially her reaction, which I never forgot.
Speaker 1: I'm like, what is that on your shirt?
Speaker 3: And she like immediately what what? What?
Speaker 1: And then she realized she started trying to brush it off.
Speaker 1: She's like, oh, that's that's milk, And I'm like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean everybody gets milk on their shoes.
Speaker 4: Pancake batter?
Speaker 3: Oh no, no, no, no, where did I get that from?
Speaker 3: Not for me? And let me joke about it at
Speaker 3: one time.
Speaker 5: Maybe it was a joke, but I swow her excuse
Speaker 5: was it was pancake batter.
Speaker 1: So I was picturing Julie given some guy because we
Speaker 1: both cheated on each other. We both did given some
Speaker 1: guy a blow job earlier in the day, and then
Speaker 1: she didn't want him to finish, you know, here, so
Speaker 1: she had him finish over here, and this jizzed all
Speaker 1: over her shirt.
Speaker 2: See, she admitted guilt when she said, oh, it's milk.
Speaker 2: I would have just been like, what what's on my shirt?
Speaker 2: Oh my god? Like, oh, I just bought this at
Speaker 2: Goodwill and I didn't wash it, and of course this
Speaker 2: would happen.
Speaker 4: But that's always that's the barley. It was way too
Speaker 4: fancy for Goodwill.
Speaker 1: Oh well she yeah, she got a Porsche for her
Speaker 1: sixteenth birthday, wrecked it, and then her dad bought her
Speaker 1: another Porsche.
Speaker 2: Okay, so then she can't she can't say that she
Speaker 2: thrifted in.
Speaker 4: And that's the reason.
Speaker 2: But yeah, you're right here, because she said she knew
Speaker 2: what it was, and that's that's how you knew she
Speaker 2: was lying. I would have just been scared and be like,
Speaker 2: what is it?
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, exactly. Know soon by her reaction, I knew
Speaker 1: right away it was And so I always gave her
Speaker 1: shit about that, even up until the date, well not
Speaker 1: the day she died, but you know what, like up
Speaker 1: until the last years of her life, I'd bring it up.
Speaker 3: She's like, that was not, No, it's not. And I'm like, oh,
Speaker 3: you believe said that to her on the day that
Speaker 3: she died.
Speaker 1: Not the day as she took her dying breath, say
Speaker 1: you remember that game?
Speaker 3: Do you had jis on your Sugarbye?
Speaker 1: That's terrible day. All right, that's it for the Minnesota Goodbye.
