And here we go to today's Minnesota Goodbye the fry Yay version. Now, yesterday we Vont called me after I was home. I was actually at the Speedway gas station, and Vont called and said, what should we call the Minnesota Goodbye today? What did you talk about? And I said, I don't remember, as I didn't because usually we find something during the Minnesota Goodbye and we go, Oh, that would be a fun title. Sure, So I think we could call today Bailey's dirty Hair, because Bailey is.
I said something to Bailey, I said a minute ago, I said, you look different today? What looks different about you? And I joked, did you whack your mustache? Yes? Because Bailey we talked about Bailey admitted that she has a mustache dash yesterday. Yeah, and it is. I did shave it down a little bit, you know, at the hedge. I shaved down that nasty nasty marks. Are you joking? I don't know whether you're serious or not, because I've never noticed a mustache. You look
perfectly beautiful and feminine to me. Thank you. It's because I'm really good at keeping it up, but like it's a daily thing, not like I don't have like a five o'clock shadow. It's just like you know, like the weird witchy wort hair that grows out, except it's on like the lower half of my face. So I just have to play. You get hotter and hotter the more you talk. Yeah, yeah, but you were talking about my that I looked different, and I think it's because of my hair.
Because there's a thing now called clean girl aesthetic. And my my reasoning or what I think, my theory about clean girl aesthetic is that you're not actually clean. You do it when you're dirty. So my hair is like oily right now. I didn't have time to wash it. So you just part it down the middle and then you slick down the sides and you pin them back, and that's like clean girl aesthetic. And usually you put it in like a bun or something and that's a look, and then you wear
gold hoop earrings and that's clean girls. Really, I really had no idea. It looks like it's a choice, like, oh yeah, this is my fashion choice, when really my hair is just dirty. Your hair is just dirty. How often do you wash your hair? I hear you're not supposed to wash it every day? Yeah, I probably wash it maybe twice a week. I know that's like probably gross, or even maybe once once a week, twice a week maybe, I don't know. I don't watch
it very often. I'm glad you're honest about this one. I wash my hair every day before I come into work. On weekends, I don't always even take a shower on the weekend, but I put on a ball cap, you know, because then you don't know what's under there. Yeah, that's my whole summer, is that right? Yeah, then no one can see your head. I mean, who cares. I'm going on walks, I'm wearing a ball cap. Come home. My hair is so nasty and
disgusting. And then clean girl aesthetic put on them gold hoop ear rings and people just think it's a choice, and then that works. Yeah, let's read some emails. Anna writes in says, Dave, you say you always say that you will recover and you have no doubt about your future. And she's implying about the morning show, and you know, with the changes on the morning show and the changes on the radio station. And I've always said
I know what to do. Sometimes it takes a little bit longer, but I always know what to do. And she says, you have no doubt about your future. I'm wondering if you have any insight on how to build this mindset. I'm at a crossroads in my business where my right hand woman is going to have a baby and will be leaving me. I'm kind of
freaking out. Any words of wisdom, licking only peanut butter, and ain't dart nothing that is from Anna, not a dart liquor, apparently, you know, I think it is. It is a believe in yourself kind of a thing. And I also have seen that somebody said the other day, they said, in the end, it'll work out, and if it hasn't worked out, it's not the end. Do you like that in the end, it'll work out, and if it hasn't worked out, it's not the
end? Giving movie, it's giving cinematic a little bit. But I really think that I've been through this long enough to know. The first time that somebody left a morning show was probably when I was about twenty four years old and a guy that worked with us was a great guy on the air. Everybody loved him, but he was not always the best person. So he got fired and people panicked and freaked out. And I panicked and freaked out. I was like, oh my god, it'll never be the same.
And we hired somebody that was as good as, if not better than him, and then I was like, oh, okay, so things suck for a little while, but then you learn that they get better. So I will tell you experience will show you that one. But I think one of the things about experience is while it's a great teacher, it's painful and it takes a long time. Yeah, so that's one of the reasons I wrote that book, take a shower, show up on time, don't steal anything.
Is because experienced is a great teacher, but it's painful, it takes a long time. So I will tell you Anna, you will find somebody in your business who will be as good as, if not better than, the person who was leaving you. And believe that. Fake it till you make it, and just believe that it'll happen. And I'm going to tell
you one more thing, And I told Carson this too. I said, if you hire somebody and in the first couple of weeks you're already having trouble with them, cut them loose, ye, don't sit there and wait forever for them to get better, right, be like they're going to get better
someday. Probably not, no, right, And I've worked with people like that too, and I'm not going to give any examples, but there was somebody who we hired to be on the show, and we were very confident, and within the first couple of weeks, we're like, this is not working. It's not working. And so after five weeks they were gone and most people don't even remember who they were. Me wondering who it was. I'll tell you off the air, but they were a wonderful person, but
they just weren't right. So I will tell you that if you ever hire somebody and they screw up, and you give them a chance or two, and you have to pull them aside and talk to them after a couple of weeks or a month, if they're still doing it, get rid of them. Cut your losses, because it will be a painful journey and you'll end up firing them anyway. Yeah in the long run, so as well, Yeah, cut your loss now. But she did say too that it's somebody
who's going on maternity leave. Yeah, it doesn't last forever, true, Yeah, yeah, yeah, so they'll come back and my my boss at my real job is on maternity leave right now, and we were like, we're gonna we're gonna flounder. This is going to be so bad, and we're fact we've actually like surprised ourselves with how capable we are without her. Not that like we don't need her and she doesn't serve a purpose, because she really does. But I think you'll surprise yourself. Just trust yourself that
you know what to do even if she's not there. Yeah, yeah, And I think that's part of the whole fake it till you make it kind of a thing. But yeah, you'll you'll be surprisingly fine. Next one, don't say a name on the radio. I want you to read this on the radio, though, uh maybe some people will get the hint and not come to class. I go to an aqua fit class at and I'm not going to say where, but it's an aqua fit class in the suburbs. And if you are not going to give it all in the class,
get out of the pool. So there is more room in the pool for people who give their all. And you, mister, who only comes to class after you've been on a cruise, so you can brag about it. You brag about the cruise that your wife pays for because you can't keep a job. And we the people in the pool know that at one point your wife was thinking about getting a divorce because you are lazy. So don't come to class classes. For those who give it, they're all, thanks for
letting me vent have a great day. I thought that was just funny. Yeah, it's like just so out of the blue. Jeez, Louise, I will say, isn't it interesting how he comes to class. He's like, yeah, my wife paid for the cruise because I can't keep a job. And wife is like, I'm going to divorce this lazy son of a bitch because I can't take it anymore. And he still goes to aquafect class though, but he doesn't give it as all, get out of the pool,
Get out, Get out of the pool. Scrolling down to another one quick debt on the or quick note on the whole Bruno Mars gambling debt story. This is the one where there was a rumor over the weekend that Bruno Mars had fifty million in gambling debt. Jenny made a comment on Tuesday show saying don't you have to pay you're gambling debt right away. Well, listen, I actually work in accounting for a casino company, not MGM and not
local to Minnesota, and it is very common to issue markers. They're basically IOUs to patrons who would rather gamble with the casinos money and not their own. Then they pay back the money at a later date, and I've seen people not pay theirs back for close to a year. Especially big players are well known celebrities. The casinos don't even chase them down too hard because they
know they're good for it. I'm assuming, if there was any validity to the story, that Bruno had an outstanding marker, and that's what the source was referring to, and perhaps Bruno conveniently ended up paying as marker the IOU between the day the story broke and the day MGM commented that he didn't owe them anything. Who knows. Oh the stories I could tell from being around the casino industry for ten plus years, but I'll have to save them for
another day. And then she signs it right, staff right, Allisons saying so much for the staff writers, Stick or Dave, I really appreciate you sending me one after my email was read a couple of weeks ago, and it was fun to get into the mail. Appreciate all you do to entertain us each morning. Thank you. I always try to hit the right deleat button, so I don't delete one that we haven't read. No, that one, and I'm not going to read know to that one. You remember
that line and we don't use that very often anymore. And that one we're going to read on the air at some point. And let me go down to this one, Dave, what do you think about this Boeing whistleblower? Now, okay, this is somebody who worked at Boeing blew the whistle that Boeing wasn't doing something right. And then I think apparently they killed themselves,
and then people suspect that Boeing had them killed or something like that. Sure, so I watch I just watched a video and this girl got paid two hundred and fifty dollars to get her flight chained so she wouldn't have to fly in a seven thirty seven Max nine, which had two shockingly fatal tragic accidents. When it was newly released. It was a new version of the seven thirty seven. I was reading comments and people were saying how other seven thirty
sevens were safe? Mind giving your thoughts on this. It sounds like the worst one is the seven thirty seven Max nine. Would you fly on one of them? Thank you have wonderful weekend, And that is from Shay. I've thought about that one. They grounded all the seven thirty seven Maxes, and if they're back in the air, I'm gonna guess they're probably fine. I don't really want to get too deep into it because that would be boring. Bailey's eyes are already rolling back in her head. I'm falling asleep.
But if I run into you somewhere, like at my book signing, Oh plug coming, Oh tomorrow is my book signing Saturday, March twenty third, at the Local in Saint Louis Park, free appetizers. I'm going to go buy the warehouse today and get six boxes of books, twenty in each one,
six times twenty six times. That's one hundred and twenty books. There's nothing more boring than airplane talk than math doing math, I know, but I told Susan, I said, I'm going to bring in a couple of boxes at a time because what I don't want and I'm not nervous about this one. I think that enough people will show up to make it a successful event. But I still it's kind of like you throw a party and you do all this preparation, and then your neighbor and then your cousins show up,
and that's really it, and you pretend that it's normal. You know, you're into a party where like you and three other people show up and you pretend you're having a good time all the time. That's really Seriously, when I turned thirty five, people showed up and I invited twenty oh No was my sister and my sister's friend, So technically I had three people show up that I wanted to know. How did that happen? You invited twenty What happened people during twenty twenty and so oh? I was like, Hey,
let's go to this outdoor brewery. Please come there's it's ventilated. We can sit far apart from each other. Please. I only turned thirty once and nobody came, Oh, Bailey. That's sad because you you know, I don't know Bailey's life outside the radio station much, but you live in theater circles where everybody is so loving and compassionate and nonjudgmental. A ton of
people, A butt ton of people. And five people came to my birthday maybe actually you know what, it might have been four four and one of them was my sister's front. So that is kind of sad. How did that make you feel? Oh? Sad? I got so drunk and just cried for most of the night. Oh did you cause you were sad that nobody showed up? Yeah, it was really sad. Well that hurts. Yeah, it's all right. I remember, and this is a moderately painful memory. But at the same time, I knew at the moment I said,
I'm not I'm going to make the best of it. Fortieth surprise birthday party at a place down in Chaska. I literally was so surprised. Susan told me we were going to somebody else's surprise party. I walked in and it was like surprise, And apparently people weren't having much fun, so people started to leave fairly early. Oh and we had a good crowd, I mean tons of cores and friends, and I was so happy. But I think a lot of people made that their first stop of the Saturday night,
not their entire Saturday night. And so I remember we had Susan rented a craps table and a blackjack dealer, and because I love that stuff, and you know, it was my fortieth birthday, and I remember people, Hey, we're taken off. Hey we're taking off. Hey, happy birthday, We're taken off. And I remember going, I'm not going to let that bother me that people are like leaving early. And it lasted maybe two ish hours or something like that till it was just me and Susan and another couple
that was kind enough to not abandon us. But it did hurt my heart that people didn't want to stay longer. Yeah, that's weird that there's like, well, this is our first stop on Saturday. Yeah, more than one stop on Saturday. What And I remember I told my friend who was a realtor. I said, yeah, we had a surprise party and we
rent that. He's like, oh man, we rented out place. We were there until two o'clock, and I was acting like the bartender and pooring shots and we were having such a good time and I was like, oh mine was boring. Played crups, yeah, And I thought it would be a whole lot of fun. But you know what, fun. I like, I said, I did not let myself get depressed. I said, people are leaving, but I'm gonna be fucking happy. Sure, I allowed
myself to be super depressed about my thirtieth. Maybe you've got a story about your birthday party or a party that you had that people didn't show up and share your story, because I'll bet you that don't you hear stories? And maybe it's like out of a bad movie or something about how like a fifth grader, we'll have a birthday party and then the bully in the class will say, don't go to Michelle's birthday party. Yes, I know a girl. Her name's Molly, and I'm sure she'd be fine. If I'm saying
her name. I'm the Minnesota bipodcast. Her name is Mollie, and she invited so many people to her birthday and she was just like a little weird, but same kind of weird as me. So I showed up to her birthday and I was the only person at her birthday party. Oh it was so sad because she had like all these snacks like set out and everything, and I was there for I don't know, like two three hours, and then I started not feeling well. So my mom had to come and get
me, and it was like a slumber party, like big sleepover. And I was the only person who came and I had to leave early because I didn't feel well. Oh my god, my heart breaks for a little Molly. How old was Molly. We were probably in like six or seventh grade, okay, very very tender age. Yes, So it was really sad. Oh god, that makes me sad just hearing about it. She's mentioned it like in our adulthood saying that she appreciated that I was there. So
you still know Molly. I still know Molly, and she's recovered, and she's a fine adult and she's well adjusted. Yes, and unlike you, has probably a normal relationship with the person that she is attracted. She's married, she has two. Oh, she's married. So she did recover okay, and she had sex obviously and had kids. So she's fine. She's fine. She turned out fine. And we both text each other every so often saying like, hey, I just wanted you to know that I think
your life is cool. Well, I think your life is cool. Cool look at us, And that's pretty much it. If you have a story, My god, what a theme about a party that nobody showed up to. That's got a butt, Thank god. My daughter Alison had a handful of friends, and she always had nice birthday parties. She had a Halloween party sleep over in the basement one time and there was probably five or six girls. And we'd take him to Benny Hannah and it was fine. Carson
had a million fucking friends. And he would pack the jump Skyzone or whatever traveling park, and he would pack the laser tag place and he just the kid had a ton of friends for being a quiet kid. And I always wondered, why does Carson have so many friends? Glad he does when he's actually a pretty quiet kid. Ah, send me your email. That would be an interesting topic on Minnesota Goodbye about the party that people didn't come to.
But I still think we're gonna call this one Bailey's dirty hair. Sure sounds good. And see if I got one more here, I might or might not have one more. Here we go? Why not, don't say a name. I lived in Columbus when Dave was here as a DJ. I moved to Minnesota and was there for more than twenty years. I've been a loyal listener. Love you guys moved back to Columbus and I still listen
to the Minnesota Goodbye. I love the Minnesota connection. I am in my mid fifties and I find that I get weepy when I watch some movies like Shawshank Redemption. No idea why I'm so sensitive to this when I turn it? When would I turn into such a pussy? Has this happened to you guys or other listeners? Thanks again for all that you guys do. I'd love a sticker. If you have one to spare, send me your Venmo and I'll throw a few dollars in the pot. No, I appreciate that,
but I'm not gonna do that one. And then they talk about something that is serious for more off the air that has to do with cancer and love. Oh they're talking about their dog. Okay, their dog. I will read it. Basically, I reached out after your previous pup had a diagnosis of cancer and we started her on pregnan zone. It bought her a little more time. Oh my gosh, I'm amazing you. You must have
been the doctor that helped with that one. But that was Gracie, and Gracie was like a rescue Collie and no, it might have been Rex, but I think it was Gracie. And we took Gracie into to have her put to sleep and we couldn't do it. So the doctor gave her pregnan zone and it extended her life for about a month and it was you know, it was wonderful. I moved from the University of Minnesota to Ohio State's Vet School in twenty twenty. Promotion to full professor should go through in a
few weeks unless I mess it up before then. Love that Josie goes on runs with you at her age and your age too, haha. Happy Saint Patrick's Day. This was a couple of days ago for me and the dogs. And that is from doctor Brian Cool. You know, Josie ran five miles with me a week or two ago and she keeps up just fine. But she's tired. She lays around all the time. She's fifteen. She's just a baby. Yeah, well puppy, an old puppy. She is my girl. I still love her. That is it for the emails today
on the Minnesota Goodbye. Let us know about the party that nobody came to. Maybe you went to one and you walk in, it's like, hey, where is everybody? Oh? Well, you know, so I'm going to tell you a quick story. And this is about Zach Dlon the afternoon guy. And I said, hey, I will party over at my house. I'd love to have you come over. And he's like, okay, well tell me about this party. I said, well, I'll be honest, there's there's gonna be some some drinking. I fucked up the joke already.
Okay, so hold on a second, let me think for a second. So I invited Zack Dillon over to a party. No, no, no, Zack invited me. Invited me to a party. And Zach says, so, well, what's gonna no he invited me? Okay, So I said, okay. He said, I want to warn you there's gonna be some drinking. I'm like, oh, you know, I like to drink here and there. I'm down with you a little drinking. He's like, okay, I want to let you know there's probably going to be you
know, probably some sex at this party. And I'm like, well, you know, I mean, if Susan doesn't find out and it's safe sex, I guess you know, I'm down to have sex at this party. So we got the drinking, we got the sex. He's like, well, you know, I'll be honest with you, Mike a little crazy, there might be some fighting, there might be a little rough housing. And I said, you know, I can probably hold my own in a fight. Sure, So you know, count me in. I'm down for the
for the drink and the sex and the fighting. I'll be at your party. What do I wear? He says, Well, it doesn't matter. It's just going to be me. And you see I knew it was coming because it's a joke. Well, yeah, because you gave it away. He said, hold on, I just messed up the joke. Yeah. Yeah, So had you not said that, I would have been like, what so you can tell this joke this weekend and rather than and remember, somebody invited you to a party. And then at the end you say,
who all's gonna what should I wear? What should I wear? And then the other person says, it doesn't matter, It's just going to be me and you. So Zach, Dylan and I had a great party. And that is the Minnesota Get Bye Ryan Show at katiwb dot com.
