Speaker 1: Let's get started with the fabulous award winning Minnesota Goodbye
Speaker 1: what awards? If we won, well we you know there's
Speaker 1: one that it was called the Poaddy Potty. What was
Speaker 1: it called? It was the podcast Award, remember that a
Speaker 1: couple of years ago. And then it was kind of
Speaker 1: exposed that you had to buy your nomination and if
Speaker 1: you bought a nomination for two hundred dollars, then you
Speaker 1: would likely win like an honorable mention. And I knew
Speaker 1: some people who did podcasts are like, yeah, I want
Speaker 1: to whatever it was called the potty or an addy
Speaker 1: or something like that. It wasn't a potty, but that's
Speaker 1: a funny name for it. What was it? Webbys And
Speaker 1: I think they've kind of gone out of favor because
Speaker 1: I think anything that you have to pay to nominate
Speaker 1: yourself is some bullshit.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it seems sus.
Speaker 1: It is totally sus. Thank you, Bailey Emails. Let's check
Speaker 1: out the emails, which is the heart of the Minnesota Goodbye.
Speaker 1: This is from Neil. Neil writes in it says, the
Speaker 1: other day Dave was talking about the Twilight Zone on
Speaker 1: your podcast, and I wanted to share this with you.
Speaker 1: I used to teach eighth grade English, we taught the
Speaker 1: radio play The Hitchhiker, which is in also an episode
Speaker 1: of the Twilight Zone TV show. The Hitchhiker is basically
Speaker 1: where a woman almost gets into a car wreck, but
Speaker 1: she doesn't. She lives and she avoids driving off a
Speaker 1: cliff or whatever. But then she's driving and this mysterious
Speaker 1: hitchhiker is trying to get her to bend. So she's like,
Speaker 1: drives past him. But then a few miles down the
Speaker 1: road there he is hitchhiking again. She drives past him.
Speaker 1: Now he's in the next town hitchhiking again, and it
Speaker 1: turns out he is death and she should have died
Speaker 1: in that car accident, so he's death. And he finally
Speaker 1: does catch a ride with her, and you know she
Speaker 1: and it's like, basically, don't fear death. I am here
Speaker 1: to gently take you to your doom.
Speaker 3: Yes, there was another Twilight Zone episode with Robert Redford,
Speaker 3: which is the only reason why I know because I
Speaker 3: love him, and he was death in that one too,
Speaker 3: but the same kind of message, don't fear death.
Speaker 2: He was just like a guy who needed some help.
Speaker 1: He's very handsome because red for it. Yeah, yeah, so
Speaker 1: they say. We'd watch the episode after reading the text
Speaker 1: for comparison, and literally none of our students had ever
Speaker 1: heard of The Twilight Zone. But after watching that episode
Speaker 1: they loved it. They would beg to watch more, and
Speaker 1: we'd usually watch The Eye of the Beholder, which blew
Speaker 1: their minds. Eye of the Beholder, I can't even tell
Speaker 1: you what the plot is without kind of one Well, basically, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a woman and she's extremely ugly. Yeah, and she's
Speaker 1: got a a no nuss. He already blew It's I
Speaker 1: already blew it. So I'm not going to say anything
Speaker 1: more about it, okay, because I already blew it. But
Speaker 1: that's one of the best Twilight Zones. So Neil says, Dave,
Speaker 1: what are you some of your other episodes of the
Speaker 1: Twilight Zone? Love y'all? Lick Lick Dart dart lick. That's
Speaker 1: Neil in Atlanta, Jauja. So I looked up my favorites.
Speaker 1: The Odyssey of Flight thirty three is really interesting. It's
Speaker 1: about an airliner that goes back in time. That's really
Speaker 1: a good one. I've always liked that one, The one
Speaker 1: with William Shaft where he plays a mental patient flying
Speaker 1: home from the looney bin, and he looks out the
Speaker 1: window and there's a grimlin on the wing of the airplane. Oh,
Speaker 1: and it's trying to tear apart the engine and he's like,
Speaker 1: oh my god. And he tells the flight attendant the
Speaker 1: captain there's a man on the wing and he's trying
Speaker 1: to kill us, and they're like, yeah, sure, okay, okay.
Speaker 1: And there's one really good part where it shows you
Speaker 1: what a great actor William Shatner was, and they're pretend
Speaker 1: they're humoring him. They go he's like, look, there's a
Speaker 1: grimlin on the wing and the captain goes, yeah, I
Speaker 1: see it too, and William Shatner is so relieved that
Speaker 1: somebody finally believes him. But then his expression changes to
Speaker 1: you're just humoring me. So it goes from good you
Speaker 1: believe me to oh shit, oh you're making fun of me.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So good. That one's called that Nightmare twenty thousand feet
Speaker 1: give you another one one of my favorite ones. And
Speaker 1: When the Sky Was Opened it's about as or not
Speaker 1: that come back from a mission? Or do they? And
Speaker 1: When the Sky Was Open? And then last one it
Speaker 1: is called Living Doll, and it is about a girl
Speaker 1: that does not like her stepdad and she gets a
Speaker 1: doll that has a mind of its own. And the
Speaker 1: doll's name is Talkie Tina, and Tina says, my name's
Speaker 1: Talkie Tina, and I'm going to kill you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, terrifying, and.
Speaker 1: Because the dad's an asshole. So anyway, there are some
Speaker 1: Twilight Zone episodes to watch the greatest TV show of
Speaker 1: all time.
Speaker 3: The one where everything was was really hot and they
Speaker 3: had to decide whether or not they were going to
Speaker 3: leave because the temperature kept going up.
Speaker 2: And I remember that one. We talked about that one
Speaker 2: a lot.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like her son was getting closer to the earth
Speaker 1: or something, and so everything got really really really hot
Speaker 1: and they had to figure out what to do.
Speaker 3: That one, and the one where they had found a camera,
Speaker 3: like these criminals found a camera and they would take
Speaker 3: pictures and it would show the future.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so many good ones are you don't want you've
Speaker 1: never watched the Twilight.
Speaker 4: Zone whatever, they never watched it. I'm I'm impressed though
Speaker 4: about how many you so specifically remember and even like
Speaker 4: titles to them. That is very impressive to me.
Speaker 1: There's one My favorite episode of all time is not
Speaker 1: probably like the you know, the most favorite. It's called
Speaker 1: Walking Distance, and it's a guy who's like a harried,
Speaker 1: stressed out, thirty six year old businessman and he hates
Speaker 1: his life and he hates his job. So he goes
Speaker 1: for a drive out in the country and his car
Speaker 1: breaks down outside of his old hometown when he was
Speaker 1: when where he grew up. So while his car's getting fixed,
Speaker 1: he decides to walk into town and he's thirty six
Speaker 1: and everything there is just like it was when he
Speaker 1: was a kid.
Speaker 2: Every reason I remember this one too.
Speaker 1: And he runs into himself as a little boy, and
Speaker 1: he wants to tell the little boy, you know, enjoy
Speaker 1: this life while it lasts, because it life sucks when
Speaker 1: you get older. And there's such a cool twist to it.
Speaker 1: It's called walking Distance, yes, and it is definitely something
Speaker 1: about you know, you get to a certain age and
Speaker 1: you long so much for the simple days of when
Speaker 1: you were a kid. And the lesson at the end
Speaker 1: is so powerful. And I'll go ahead and share it
Speaker 1: with you o case you don't watch it, because he's like,
Speaker 1: you know, he's basically realizes that in his shitty life
Speaker 1: as an adult, he misses all the parades and merry
Speaker 1: go rounds and concerts and carnivals when he was a kid.
Speaker 1: But he runs into his dad, and his dad says,
Speaker 1: you need to look for all the joy in your
Speaker 1: current life. So yes, you look nostalgically back at all
Speaker 1: the joy you had, but look for the joy in
Speaker 1: your life as an adult. And I thought that was
Speaker 1: really true instead of longing for the past. Okay, done
Speaker 1: talking about Twilight Zone.
Speaker 3: God.
Speaker 1: Curious about something. I've been listening to your show since
Speaker 1: the nineties. I listened on my driving to work three
Speaker 1: days a week, plus the Minnesota Goodbye and podcast the
Speaker 1: Days I missed. Love that you added vont and Bailey
Speaker 1: on the show too. I'm curious when ads come on
Speaker 1: that I can't stand, like the annoying voices in the
Speaker 1: plumbing company, Oh Brad, So yeah, you need to call
Speaker 1: this plumbing company Brada, which I think is genius because
Speaker 1: if they just made it an ordinary voice, nobody would
Speaker 1: remember it. Or the big pharma push on vaccines and
Speaker 1: weight loss injections, et cetera. I turn the station on
Speaker 1: your radio off to make a point. Can you even
Speaker 1: see at a micro level when listeners tune out? Do
Speaker 1: these companies or the radio station even know these company
Speaker 1: commercials actually tune people out versus help their business. Anyway,
Speaker 1: it makes me feel better to tune out for a
Speaker 1: few minutes that I was curious if it even mattered.
Speaker 1: M Yes and no. I mean if there are forty
Speaker 1: thousand people listening on the iheartstream and you turn it off,
Speaker 1: it'll register there's now thirty nine, nine and ninety nine.
Speaker 1: But does it matter. No, But it's a good protest.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Yeah, I'm here for it. Go for it.
Speaker 3: If it's a if, if it makes you feel better,
Speaker 3: go for it. I don't mind commercials though, because I
Speaker 3: find them strangely comforting. What do you mean, Like, if
Speaker 3: you're I don't know, if I'm like stressed out or something,
Speaker 3: and I'm driving home and I'm stressed or scared or whatever,
Speaker 3: and I turn on the radio and it's a song,
Speaker 3: I might even turn the channel so that I can
Speaker 3: listen to commercials just to have like like friendly voice
Speaker 3: talk to me.
Speaker 4: Are you actually listening to the commercials or is it
Speaker 4: just like background? Yeah, so I was gonna say, I
Speaker 4: definitely do that where I like, I'll be listening to
Speaker 4: a song and then I realize I just listened to
Speaker 4: like ten minutes of commercials and didn't even think of no,
Speaker 4: because my brain was like somewhere else.
Speaker 2: But I'm like a.
Speaker 4: Stereotypical like flipper when it comes to radio, Like I
Speaker 4: always slip the station to find the next song that
Speaker 4: I want to listen to, so I go from like
Speaker 4: station to station.
Speaker 2: I usually do that too.
Speaker 1: I think most people do that with their button pushers.
Speaker 1: I mean, if you're listening to, you know, our radio station,
Speaker 1: and we start to play too many commercials, I think
Speaker 1: that people will tolerate like a couple of commercials, but
Speaker 1: when you realize though there's another one, people will flip
Speaker 1: it to another radio station. Or when there's a song.
Speaker 1: It used to be people would very much turn the
Speaker 1: radio station when a DJ started talking, but now it's
Speaker 1: kind of we hear the opposite. People say they tune
Speaker 1: away when we play a song. So if we're doing
Speaker 1: something really interesting like War of the Roses, then we
Speaker 1: played Lady Gaga, people are like, I can hear Lady Gaga.
Speaker 3: What They'll be like, gosh darn, and I don't want
Speaker 3: to hear this unless they're a kid in high school.
Speaker 3: Because I've had kids in high school be like, yeah,
Speaker 3: I don't listen because you guys don't play enough music.
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, okay, yeah, but it makes sense.
Speaker 1: Well that's what Carson used to do. We'd get in
Speaker 1: the car and I would want to hear what, you know,
Speaker 1: like the Afternoon Show was doing, or hear what KAS
Speaker 1: ninety five was doing. So we'd have on KS ninety
Speaker 1: five and the music would stop, and then Moon and
Speaker 1: Stacey would start talking and Carson would turn the station
Speaker 1: and they'd be like, no, no, no, I want to
Speaker 1: hear what they're doing. Yeah, because you know, being a
Speaker 1: DJ as to hear what they're doing. Since they forgot
Speaker 1: why bong was the follow up to do you get It,
Speaker 1: which is a thing we used to say on the
Speaker 1: show do you get It? And then Steve would go bong,
Speaker 1: and I didn't remember why there was a bong because
Speaker 1: I would make a really obvious joke and then scream,
Speaker 1: do you get it?
Speaker 2: Bong?
Speaker 1: Here is some clarification. It is because Dave was saying
Speaker 1: a joke about Fallon's dad, and Day was referring to
Speaker 1: Fallon's dad smoking weed, but never use the word bong
Speaker 1: in the joke. So to encourage and yes and Dave
Speaker 1: on a joke that seemed to fall flat, Steve said, bong.
Speaker 4: Oh, okay, that makes more sense. It does now, Yeah,
Speaker 4: because someone tried to text insane. It was like from
Speaker 4: a show or from like it was like the Gong Show.
Speaker 4: Someone tried to or they I think they emailed it in. Yeah,
Speaker 4: And so I was like, I don't feel like that
Speaker 4: was the reason.
Speaker 1: It's one of the mysteries of the show. And I
Speaker 1: don't remember that, but I will absolutely take your word
Speaker 1: for it. The joke was repeated again, and the bong
Speaker 1: was shouted again and became part of the joke itself.
Speaker 1: It made sense in the moment and was hilarious, but
Speaker 1: then continued on being a random response when Dave said,
Speaker 1: do you get it anyway? Have a good day. All
Speaker 1: that's from Stephanie. Thank Stephanie for supporting the show. We
Speaker 1: appreciate that. I'm going to scroll down to another one
Speaker 1: that I put a flag on it. Let's see what
Speaker 1: we have here. Dave, you mentioned a terrible history podcast.
Speaker 1: I wanted to recommend one called American Scandal. They take
Speaker 1: a moment in history and tell the story as if
Speaker 1: you were in the room. The two season I think
Speaker 1: you might like best are six, which is about Paola,
Speaker 1: and season sixty four, which is about Boeing. I found
Speaker 1: the season super interesting. I know nothing about airplanes. Also,
Speaker 1: hurry and go download those as they recently announced they're
Speaker 1: putting old season behind a paywall. I know I have
Speaker 1: things to say to Bailey and Jenny, but I can't
Speaker 1: remember now what they are.
Speaker 2: I feel like we might have read this one already.
Speaker 2: Oh rightobye, yeah.
Speaker 1: It's a week old, so it's possible. And that's why
Speaker 1: I always tell myself during the podcast, I'm going to
Speaker 1: hit delete on that one because I think I forgot to.
Speaker 3: H I think you flagged it so you could remember
Speaker 3: which podcast they were talking about.
Speaker 1: Oh I bet you're right. Yeah, go on, gam All right, hello,
Speaker 1: you crazy cats. Let's talk about social media etiquette. One
Speaker 1: posting a picture of the bride and groom before they
Speaker 1: post pictures.
Speaker 4: Anybody we I think we also did this one.
Speaker 2: I feel like we did. Yeah, we did talk about
Speaker 2: this before, too.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, Uh, let's get to another part the
Speaker 1: same thing. But I don't think we did mention this one.
Speaker 1: What about posting a picture of someone in the hospital
Speaker 1: when they are not coherent or dioh.
Speaker 3: No, we didn't talk about that. That sounds not unless
Speaker 3: you're like their family and you're posting it to their
Speaker 3: like caring bridge page, then makes sense. But like if
Speaker 3: you're just their friend and you're like, here, I am,
Speaker 3: I'm visiting TJ. He's in a coma, then.
Speaker 1: No, TJ's in a coma. I didn't even know you
Speaker 1: was sick. I know, right, I haven't spoken him a
Speaker 1: long time. Is he doing okay?
Speaker 2: He's all right now?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Okay, good, all right?
Speaker 2: Think goodness. I posted a picture of us together.
Speaker 1: What about posting an rip before the family has posted
Speaker 1: about their passing? So, in other words, Bailey dies, Bailey dies,
Speaker 1: and I find out because I don't know. Jenny was
Speaker 1: there when it happened. She killed me, she killed you,
Speaker 1: and then she just so I say rip Bailey before
Speaker 1: Mam Ronda can post, Oh my god, my precious Bailey
Speaker 1: has kicked the bucket. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I think that's not a good look.
Speaker 3: No, not a good look at all, Like you announce
Speaker 3: it on air, and my mom hasn't said anything yet.
Speaker 1: I always used to wonder when I was younger, they
Speaker 1: would say, like you know, let's say that said five
Speaker 1: people die in a horrible boating accident, and the news
Speaker 1: would say their identities have not been released pending notification
Speaker 1: of next of kin, and I was like, what the
Speaker 1: fuck does that matter? Ye? Well, then I realized it's
Speaker 1: because they wouldn't want mom and dad to find out
Speaker 1: on the radio or on TV that you know, that
Speaker 1: these people had died. They'd want to be notified via
Speaker 1: the police or whatever.
Speaker 2: I did.
Speaker 3: This is not the necessarily the same, but I did
Speaker 3: find out that my sister was engaged on Facebook. She
Speaker 3: didn't tell me. I found out on Facebook that she
Speaker 3: was engaged. Why she I guess she got engaged. She
Speaker 3: tried calling me and I was working, so I didn't answer.
Speaker 3: So then she posted on Facebook instead of waiting for
Speaker 3: all of her family members to answer their phone.
Speaker 2: I thought, oh, man, I was upset.
Speaker 1: I get it. There's a big rift in our family.
Speaker 1: And I'm not going to get specific, but somebody did
Speaker 1: they had a baby and or they found out they
Speaker 1: were pregnant or something, and this person had to find
Speaker 1: out on Facebook. Sure, and they were so pissed and
Speaker 1: so hurt because they wanted to be told via text
Speaker 1: or phone call or in person. But they found out
Speaker 1: on Facebook that this other relative, a close relative, was
Speaker 1: either pregnant or just had a baby, and they were
Speaker 1: so pissed. But the problem was the person who posted
Speaker 1: it is not the most I didn't even know how
Speaker 1: to say it clear thinking person sometimes and so that
Speaker 1: it really got ugly. But I really think that's true.
Speaker 1: You don't want to find out on Facebook that your
Speaker 1: sister got engaged or that your mom is like, you know,
Speaker 1: like divorcing your.
Speaker 2: Dad, right exactly.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So there's a question for you. What did you
Speaker 1: find out on Facebook? What were you watching? Look at
Speaker 1: it on Facebook and you found out Oh my god,
Speaker 1: Oh they're engaged. Yeah, what I wish? I don't. All right,
Speaker 1: that is it for the Minnesota goodbye emails today, Send
Speaker 1: yours into Ryan's show at katiew dot com. Anything you
Speaker 1: want to bring up, Jenny, Is there anything going on?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 2: No, I'm good. Just say I'm excited for Boobash tonight,
Speaker 2: that's all.
Speaker 1: I'm excited for it too, I really am. We've decided
Speaker 1: that we're all going to meet here at the radio
Speaker 1: station and then we're going to uber down so we
Speaker 1: all get out at the same time, and we don't
Speaker 1: do that awkward walk in a costume. Yes, because it
Speaker 1: is an awkward walk from two blocks away through the
Speaker 1: parking garage garage and everybody knows you're in costume, but
Speaker 1: especially me being older, I always get the feeling people
Speaker 1: to look in like, who's this old fuck in a costume?
Speaker 1: Nobody wants this old fuck showing up their Halloween party.
Speaker 1: So I usually go with somebody I've had cookie, goat
Speaker 1: what long is my date before?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 1: So I don't have to walk in alone?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Alone.
Speaker 3: I used to do that in school because I used
Speaker 3: to wear really stupid clothes, so I would call my
Speaker 3: friends up so they could meet me outside walk in
Speaker 3: with me. Why did you wear stupid clothes to be
Speaker 3: quirky and different?
Speaker 1: How'd that work out for you?
Speaker 3: Uh? I mean I was pretty quirky and different. I
Speaker 3: didn't have a lot of friends, but the friends I
Speaker 3: did have.
Speaker 1: You think you maybe, addressed in normal jcpenny clothes like
Speaker 1: the rest of us people, that you would have been
Speaker 1: a much better lit, a bunch better life.
Speaker 2: Now I don't care about those garbage clothes.
Speaker 1: Jcpenny have really nice clothes.
Speaker 3: Cold, Yeah, everyone's wearing those Target. I want to wear
Speaker 3: a Paisley shirt from nineteen seventy seven.
Speaker 2: Where did you shop? Ragstock?
Speaker 3: Goodwill my mom's closet from nineteen seventy seven.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he SUEPS cute.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, thanks for sharing, We appreciate that, and
Speaker 1: thank you for listening to the Minnesota Good good Bye,
