I have ideas for the show, and I have learned that if I don't write them down or record them into my Apple Watch Voice memo thing or my iPhone voice memo thing, yeah, that I will forget them. And then the only thing I'll remember is I had an idea, yes, and I won't remember it. Last night, I woke up the middle of the night, couldn't get back to sleep, laid there an idea popped into my head that was so glorious that I thought, there's no way I'm going to forget
this idea, and you forgot it. And I woke up and the only thing I could remember was I had an idea. And I remember as I lay there, thinking, Okay, it has to do with a certain body part. Let's say your knees or something. So if I rub my knee, it will help me remember what the idea was. Sure, nothing, nothing. Only I woke up remembering that I had an idea that I loved and it's gone. Did you you should keep like a patent paper next to your bed. I've done that before. The problem is if I have an
idea that I dreamed, then sometimes I do. I'll wake up and I don't want to wake up enough to write it down. Sure, So I think I need a tape recorder, Yes, a genuine tape recorder, a giant one with reels of tape on it, and a microphone that I hold that i'll read my ideas into. I feel like that would take just as much effort to wake up. Now you're on your tape recorder. Yah it, you're yeah, You're right. I would away talk into your watch like
a little. I don't wear to bed, though, charge your I don't, not hard. I've actually thought about getting two Apple watches, one to wear to bed in case I have ideas. That's the boogiest thing I've read. I know I'm not gonna do it anyway. I did have a dream the other night about my son Chase, and it was he won a bunch of contests and I don't know what the story was, but he won this, then he won this, then he won this, and the winner is Chase go lightly and I'm like, what the fuck, Chase, how are
you winning all this? Any interesting dreams lately, Bailey, I honestly don't dream a lot. The only one that I remember the I remember waking up because I was scared only because in the dream, I remember seeing a woman who was clearly like dead, and someone grabbed her and her back was turned away from me, and they grabbed her and pulled her up, and like blood came out of her face. Oh, and that's all I remember. But I didn't see her face. I just remember blood coming out and her
back was to me. And that's the only thing I remember, because I was scared. But I don't really dream a lot anymore. I dream usually very very pleasant dreams, and I wake up and like the the like a happy mood, a very calm, happy mood. Yeah, And then I have no idea what I dreamt about. Yeah, ever, a calm and happy mood. It's just like a calm and yeah. So I don't. I rarely have nightmares. Knock on wood. I know some people, do you ever sleepwalk? No? Never? Never? I never have either,
I know Vontas I heard that too. Yeah. Our neighbor next door, a woman around my age, she was sleepwalking and she fell down the stairs and broke her fucking leg. Yeah, sleepwalking, I don't wake you up. Yeah, And uh, and you know, I mean not that anybody who is sleepwalking is abnormal, but she's just a normal neighbor and she slept walk and you know it's like, what do you do? You like velcrow
yourself to the bed. That's so. There's a comedian. His name is Mike Bribiglia, and he has really awful sleepwalking and he has this whole show about it. But he literally has to like he zips himself into like a wow, like a sleeping bag and has to like for like, yeah, kind of vell crow himself down onto the bed so he doesn't get up and walk out the window because he walked out of a window at all. Woww Yeah, because he's that big of a sleepwalker. I couldn't what that would
Oh, that would make me so nervous. Yeah, I'm very glad that nobody in our family sleepwalks. And I don't either. Yeah, there was one thing that's going to bring up. And this is just kind of it's not I'm not complaining. I'm just kind of rolling my eyes a little bit. Once in a while somebody will ask, Hey, we're doing this big
charity thing. Can I come on your show and talk about it? Or we're doing a big i don't know, like a big walk, like a charity five K or we're doing a big charity garage sale or a big charity flea market, or you know, can I come on the radio and talk
about it? And it doesn't annoy me, It just makes me roll my eyes a little bit, because if you listen to our show at all, you know, we never have guests on to talk about something we can talk about ourselves, sure, because and the reason we don't have guests on is because a lot of the time they're not very good. And that sounds really arrogant. But just because you know something about the big Walk five K charity vaccination, raby shot fundrais or whatever it is, doesn't mean that people are
good on the radio. And most people are, Let's be honest with you. Most people are not good on the radio, just right, just like the same way I would not be a good obstetrician. There is a town, there is a skill set to it, and most people find it uncomfortable to do the things that you need to do to sound good on the radio.
They don't want to talk into the microphone. They literally will stand over here away and they won't talk with enough you know, energy, and so then we tell them get closer to the microphone and they do for about three seconds. It'll be like and then they do this. And I'm not making fun of people who are not good on the radio. It's just not a natural skill set and so and and then people will get nervous and they'll clam up. And some people are naturals. We've had people on the phone on
like Benjamin who comes in and does trivia. He's a natural performer. Ham I'm excited him. I've never met him. Hey you met Benjamin. Oh you're gonna love him. He's a great guy. But there, I don't know. It's just interesting that Again, I'm not complaining and I'm not ridiculing these people, but it's like, do you ever listen to our show? How often do you ever hear us have somebody on with the Coon Rapids yard
sale fundraiser? Not often In the time that I've been on. We've had one charity person and that was like that push up contest thing, and I just remember being like, what is happening? Why is this? How why is this going on? Well it was the Burpie thing, yeah, the Burpie thing. Yeah yeah, yeah they were nice, Yeah they were nice. Yeah, they did fine, they did fine. We had somebody on from Livia a couple of weeks ago, and she was great. She talked
about the the B twelve light bo injections. She was nervous though, but she was nice. Yeah, she was nervous. But I would be nervous too. If they were gonna have me on Carrie Levin right now to talk to Belinda about gardening, I'd be nervous stare at the camera the whole time. Oh all right, Let's move on to some of the emails, which are the heart and soul of the podcast. Dave, Jenny Vaughn to Bailey. I've been listening for years. I love the show. Dave, you
did it again. You landed on a great lineup. Ah, you did it. Oh you guys, Oh you got a lineup? Yeah? Oh you and vont Oh. I was like, what light what? I don't know if people realize how rare it is to keep a show humming for as long as you have. I want to say something about your job offered to the Hawk to a girl, and how brilliant that was. Oh, I like this already. You took something that everybody was talking about it and you
related it to katieble Tobe, who else does that. Most other shows in town spend their time being silly or doing the same bits we hear on every station all over the country. But you figured out a way to make it uniquely katib tob. And as for the haters who thought it was awful you offered a woman a paining job, Shame on them. Do they actually think that everybody with money should be ashamed of how they spend it? So if I take my husband out for his birthday and spend two hundred dollars, that's
shameful and I should have donated it to charity. Get fucking real? Can I say that? Sorry? I just did wow? Nice? Oh and it should be pointed out that you've got a ton of advertising on TikTok and Instagram and how much money did you actually spend? Nothing? Not a penny. Brilliant. By the way, I'm not in your target demographic, as I'm forty nine years old, but I own a marketing firm and always interested in what businesses do to get attention. Yes, you ruffled some feathers,
but it was harmless and most importantly successful. Good for you from Claire. Now see that gives away a lot. We know that Claire is forty nine years old and she also owns an advertising agency. I wonder if people are going to figure out who that is. We can look her up, but she's probably smart and did not give her real name, or she lied about her age. She made the whole thing up. Betsy could see that a marketing firm at all. Yeah, it could be, but thank you for
that. I appreciate that. I'm going to find my tabs and open up another email. Hold on, here we go since this topic comes up off and I want to share this story with you. Over the weekend, we were up at my parents' camper. They lease a specific lot of the campground. Some guys driving his dog around on a golf cart stop to let the dog off so the dog could poop right in the grass of our camp site. We immediately started yelling at this guy, telling him pick it up.
He just sat there looking at us, and he said, I don't have a bag. I made sure to get a good picture of this asshole. After having my family pull me away because I was yelling at the guy, I got a bag and I picked up the poop. I then proceeded to take the bag of dog poop and show people the picture of him to see if they knew where his campsite was. People didn't even ask questions, just oh Stan, Yeah he's the first one at the end of this row.
Oh Stan wasn't there. So I tripled tie the bag of dog poop on the door of his camper and I went about my day. Some people won't agree with my actions, but it was really damn satisfying and I have no regrets. Hopefully he learned a lesson. Love you guys, Lexi Fromatzigo. I support your decision one hundred percent, Lexi. Yeah, that's such a slice. Lexi'd be like, I'm gonna go find this guy. Hell yeah, absolutely, have you seen this man with the poop? Like, have
you seen this man? I don't know. We talk about poop and stuff. We really burn people out on poop and poop bags and dogs off fishes, so we're not gonna I mean, I could go on for a long time, but you've heard me do that before. It's always relevant. Good story, LEXI, Love you. Next one, a quick question about the mixtape game. I think it is already know I know the answer. How
come the mixtape game is not in the podcast? I was so excited when you announced it was coming back because it was always one of my favorite bits. I only listened to the podcast and then bummed. I haven't been able to hear it the past few weeks. Is it because you are not able to play music clips on your podcast? The same thing happened on the Bobby Bone Show. At first they could only play five seconds of a song, and now they cannot play song clips at all. Is this an iHeart decision
or some behind the scenes music industry thing. Is there any loophole you can find to bring back to the podcast? My apologies, you already answered this one. I guess I'll have to start tuning in live on Friday mornings. Yes. Also shout out to my college room mate Anna in Savage, Minnesota. We are both Dave Ryan and Minnesota. Goodbye super fans, A right
Dart Liquors. Happy Monday from Olivia. Yeah, you nail that we cannot play music clips on the podcast because we don't have the licensing rights to play them on the podcast, only on the radio. And like I think, for a time I was trying to like get it worked in especially like if we were talking over the music, but then it turns into like an editing nightmare to get all of it to edit it out, So you just take
out the entire mix. The whole thing has just gone. Now. Yeah, And that's kind of the way it is, which is it's a shame, but I guess that artists want their slice of the pie. We use their music on our podcasts, which is funny because a lot of music artists will blatantly steal a hook or a loop from somebody else's music, make a song out of it, and then get paid millions for it, and then never pay the original artist. So here we are advertising their music. No
shit, it's true. They should be paying us. Yeah, okay, so this is from Remember last week we talked about somebody who was like putting their foot in their mouth, and they said they were in awe of the fact that somebody in my family told her seventy five year old uncle here just you were just a male carrier in Vietnam. Oh yes, I remember. And then we talked about foot in mouth moments and I said, I wonder what they're referring to. So they wrote back they said, I was excited
to hear my email on the Minnesota Goodbye. It quickly dawned on me that I did not explain the scenario very well. We are not Vietnamese. The uncle was drafted at twenty years old and sent to the Vietnam War, and after having an average experience as a drafter soldier, being sent to Vietnam, to be accused of simply going over and being a mail carrier for the military, I thought was absolutely appalling. I could say more, but I better
not. Just thought i'd share a little family drama with you, because it's not like he just went over to Vietnam to sat on his ass. You know, we are generation. You know, my generation missed Vietnam by probably five ish years, maybe a little bit more. But you think about somebody who is so young and how that they could have been drafted in the Vietnam
War. I think of somebody like Carson Age, and I think about like Carson getting his haircut, taking a flight to training at like Fort Dix or whatever, and being shipped off to Vietnam, and how awful and scary that is, And that is so far removed from our lifestyle. We can't even imagine. There hasn't been a draft and active military draft in like fifty years. People are always like teasing it like there's gonna be a draft soon.
There's gonna be a draft. I doubt it. No, there's too many volunteers now too well, volunteers are down, there's no question volunteers are down. But they don't fight with soldiers the way they used to. They fight with drones and they fight with you know, airplanes and tanks and things like that. So there's not as many like you know, soldier foot infantry soldiers. Yeah, which is good, but it is a little bit for I remember when I was in high school, they were like my friends were saying,
Oh, there's gonna be a war. There's gonna be a war. There's gonna be war, and there wasn't. And then a couple of years ago when eracted something, they said, oh it's going to be World War three. And then Ukraine and then Israel. They're like, oh, it's going to be a war. It's going to be war. But I think one of the things that we all want to avoid is a war with actual infantry on the ground. Pass and that's going to kind of wrap it up
for the Minnesota goodbye. If you have any emails, you know, it's so funny Bailey because some days we get eight emails, twelve emails, other days we get one, sometimes none, And I think it's sometime it's a matter of you know, whatever we say that might inspire or motivate you to send in an email. But if we didn't inspire you today, then bring up something that you want to talk about. Yeah, if you want to bring up oh, I don't know, over tourism. Here's one that I
think is interesting. Over tourism is a problem. I saw it on the news the other night. They said, because we haven't traveled a lot since before COVID, and now everybody's like, you know, well, let's go travel. So all these touristy spots that are supposed to be remote, you can't get near him anymore, like Yosemite or Yellowstone or Glacier. Sure is just crowded with people in places where you go to get away from crowds.
Wherever you saw or read this, did they have like solutions for over tourism or they just like highlighting the problem? They do. Actually they say that they're now issuing permits. Okay, so for example, if you want to go you know, like I don't know to what's the Blue Lagoon in Iceland? Sure you, Now this is an example. Instead of going for free or five dollars, it's now one hundred and five dollars to go. This
is just an example. Yeah. Yeah, And they said there used to be licensing for tour guides in like Amsterdam or somewhere, and it was five dollars to become a licensed tour guide in Amsterdam. Now the fee is like five hundred dollars. Wow, so there will be fewer licensed tour guides. Sure. So you can't really tell people don't but if you charge them more
or make it so you have to have a reservation. Like in Colorado Springs, there's this very very popular attraction called the Manitou Incline, and it is a steep former railroad track that is straight as an arrow that goes up the side of a mountain. And it used to have two trains on a string, one train at the end of one string and the other train at the other end of it, and each train weight would pull each other up the mountain, so in other words, one would go up and one would come
down. And it collapsed in a mudslide probably thirty five years ago. So they tore the trains in the track out, but it's now used as a hiking trail. But it's so popular that you now have to make a reservation. Oh, it looks cool. I just googled it. Yea, it
looks kind of fun. Yeah it is. It is probably the most popular hiking trail and one of the most challenging in Colorado because it is so steepah, and it's about a mile and a half, and it's so popular and people it's right there in the city, so you drive like ten minutes from your house and you're at the foot of the incline. Wow. But they basically instead of making it free for all, you have to reserve your spot.
So when you get there, I don't know if there's a gate or a turnstile or what, but you have to enter your taking tickets right exactly. Go check it out and what else you want to talk about. Send your email to ryanshow at KDWB dot com. Seriously, I love how many people love the Minnesota Goodbye. That's that means a lot to us. We have said this is probably my favorite part, maybe sometimes even more fun than the show, because it's a little bit more like what do you want to
talk about. So it's entertaining to us because we don't know what you're going to say, and we can just go on and on and on and on and on. Essentially, we can just keep on talking exactly. Let's do that for the next fifteen minutes. All right, we'll wrap it up and we'll see you tomorrow. Send your emails to Ryan Show at KDWB dot com.
