Welcome to the Minnesota Goodbye. You ever listened to a podcast and that? I listened to one, and I'm going to tell you what it is. And I really like the woman who delivers this podcast because she's really fascinating. Maybe not the best storyteller, but you can tell she's It's called Disaster Area, okay, and I love disasters and earthquakes and plane crashes and hotel fires
and you know things like that. The first four minutes of her podcast are always her giving, like commercials and plugs and telling how she did it and whatever. But the rest of it is really good. I fast forward through the first four minutes. For podcasts, Yeah, of course, I used to listen to another one. I don't know why I like women podcasts, but maybe I just it's just coincidence, but that was my favorite. The plane crash one, the Air Disaster Take to the Sky, the Air Disaster
podcast. Two friends and I looked them up. I'd been listening to it for probably five years. I looked them up. Finally they looked nothing like what I expect exactly. You have a picture in your mind now like that? What did you picture like? Any DJs that when you hear on the radio. What did you picture they looked like. I thought you looked like my and don't take this the wrong way. I thought you looked like my grandpa. But he had a very specific like realtor card and it had like
a younger picture of my grandpa on it. And that's what I pictured you as, was the picture of my grandpa as a realtor on his business card. I'll take that. And so when I saw you in real life, I was like, what the hell is this? What the hell? Yeah, because DJ money never exactly DJ's Now. By the way, Jenny is not here because we're shorthanded today. Von's on vacation. So Jenny is editing audio and loading audio in the other room and she said, go and start
without us. I yeah, I mean that is the cliche, is like the face for radio. And but what's interesting is more and more radio people are more attractive, you know. And I think it's just because I don't know, it's to get a lot of work done. Well, what now, they get a lot of work done? Well? I think that, Yeah, I guess the successful, super successful rich ones. Well yeah, I mean you look at me like Ryan's he's handsome. I've done. Oh he's had work done. I'm sure. Yeah, And there's still some DJs
that are very average looking. But I think in radio anymore, especially with women, there are big morning shows that hire a gorgeous woman to be kind of their face of young social media, and you know what, good for them? If it works, what gets more views than anything else almost probably on social media young attractive people. Yeah, which is why we have Jenny, Which is why we have Jenny. No so well in other ways, Let's get into the emails and some of the things we talked about yesterday and
see what we've got. Let's try this one. Okay, this one's for you, Dave. I know Taylor Swift has over talked about and we are over it, but I need to know. I remember you giving criticism to the Tortured Post Apartment album cover when Taylor first released it. You said it was in some sort of words sexual. You said something along the lines of
she knew what she was doing when she chose the album cover. Now, if you picture it, she's laying on her back and she's like wearing like you know, she's got some skin revealed and cut her hand approaching the groin area in a very suggestive way, and I said, well, that's Taylor growing. It's like Miley Cyrus getting away from Hannah Montana and being on the
swinging thing and being more sexualized. They said, I wonder now that we've heard or heard about the deep lyrics to the songs on the album, have you changed your views on the album cover. I have not listened to the album. I only hear the pop songs that are on the radio, and I mean no offense. Nobody respects Taylor Swift more than me, but I'm not a swiftye by any means. I appreciate and admire her, but I'm never going to go to one of her shows. I might watch her show
on Netflix, but I'm never going to listen to lyrics. My opinion, the cover was meant to be quote provocative and vulnerable sexually, to symbolize the provocative topis and situations that she wrote and released with such vulnerability, as if the album was as naked as we will ever see her. I'd love to hear your thoughts. I think that's really interesting, and I think that I think that my judgment, if you want to use that word of the album
cover then was accurate because if you look at it. I mean I could pull it up right now, but I'm picturing it's kind of a black and white. Yeah, and she's got her hand approaching her crotch as if to suggest, you know, sexuality, and she's also I think, got kind of a poudy mony look on her face. But you can't see her eyes, am I right? Can you see her mouth? Kind of powdy moany you can see her mouth? Yeah? Yeah, she's just kind of holding
herself and laying in bed and it's a big fluffy bed. But yeah, it's not I don't think it looks very provocative at all. I think she looks cold. Okay, Now that's an interesting take on it. Maybe as a female you're gonna get a different one, and maybe male men are programmed to find sexuality in something that there's not sexuality meant there. Yeah. I look at some albums that are that. We had one that the company iHeartRadio
will feed Facebook and Instagram with posts. So in other words, somebody will sit in New York or wherever and they will force out this feed push. So we have content on KTWB dot com and we have Facebook content. And one came out about a month ago, and it was an artist and I can't remember who, but she was. She had her legs spread wide open in a way that was almost vulgar, and you could see not the genitalia, but the skin right next to the genitalia, and it was very graphic,
sure for a KTWB post. And so I looked at the comments and people were angered by it. They're like, KTWB is sunk to a new low. This is disgusting. How dare you sexualize women? How dare you post something like this? Is this is too far KTWB. So I showed my boss, and my boss, yeah, I'll have them take it down right away. But but I guess my point is that is nothing like Taylor's album covering. This was aggressive, yeahs pose sexual, Yeah, but I
think Taylor that was I think I called it right that. I think it was, you know, vulnerable and provocative on purpose. And if that's what her lyrics are, then maybe that's a good fit. Yeah. I mean, if it's a new a new era for her, then go off, queen, I'm here for you. Yeah. I think it's far away from
like cute, innocent Taylor Swift with a banjo strapped around her neck. It's just a totally different thing and good for because artists have got a The thing that I've learned in this business and I've been in it for forty five years god, is that an artist has to stay interesting. Yeah, you have to like reinvent yourself a lot. And if they don't stay interesting, then people forget about them because there's always somebody else on the doorstep, knocking on
the door, ready to come in. There's a Tate McCrae, there's a Gale, there is somebody else who is ready. And if you pause for even like think about Christine Aguilera. Christine Aguilera was huge in the world, and she had an image. She had a very provocative sexual image, and then she got tired of it and then she kind of went away and she I think she got married and had kids. Yeah maybe, yeah, and
then she's never really come back because she decided to take a break. And I think that's what Taylor is now doing, is she is not taking a break because that money train is thundering down the track she has she doesn't want to pull into the station. I honestly think that more celebrities should do the
whole I'm going to be done. Like Christina Aguilera, I mean she's I think she's like a judge on some singing TV show where she was like on the Voice or something like that, but like she did her time, she had a good run, then she got married, she had kids, and now she's like, Okay, I'm still like a celebrity, but I don't
need to be like cranking out new music and trying to stay relevant. Yeah, because it's it's interesting because I think of like you know, Madonna or whatever, where she's turned into you know, like a reunion to her act where she's like everything that she does is right exactly. And now it's like I feel, I mean, there are no real like nostalgia acts from you know, the forties and fifties necessarily, unless like the Beach Boys, but
they're like sixties yeah. So and it's now we're kind of like entering a new generation of like who are the new nostalgia acts? But then so many artists from like the nineties and the two thousands are like, I don't want to be nostalgia. I have to stay relevant blah blah blah, Like Katy Perry, that whole thing with her, and everyone's like she's stuck in twenty
ten. Blah blah blah. I feel bad for Katy Perry in a way because I think she's a good person and she's talented, but I think that somehow she got stuck with the butterfly rainbow, a unicorny, cupcakey kind of an image. Yeah, and people are like, okay, next, I'm dying, right, And they were kind of through with that. So then it's like, when is she going to just say, Okay, this isn't
for me anymore. It's not going to happen for me, So now I'll just turn into a nostalgia act and just do you know that's a really really difficult thing to do. And you know, the word pop music means pop you lurb yeah, and popular means right now, just like your Tamagatchi is no longer popular, your Rubics cube is no longer popular. One day you'll look at your Lululemon and your little like you know, your little thing of little love crossbody by bag, Yeah, and you'll kind of laugh at it
and go, oh, that was so twenty twenty four. Yeah, You'll be like, why was I wearing that every day? Oh yeah, but right now it's very popular, but it's really difficult to remain popular and there's not a lot of acts that can do it. Okay, moving on, Thanks for that one. That was very provoca Christine. Thank you. Let's do one from Donna. Donna says, I love the listener staff writer comment
about breweries and your favorite beers. This is a totally different one you ever gain for a road trip or a flight for you, Dave to Rochester. We have some great breweries down here. Forager Little Thistle forger is one of my favorite breweries. Is that in you've been there in Rochester. It's so good and the design of the space is amazing. Tell me about that. I just like, I've been there a couple of times and their beer is
phenomenal. But then like when you walk in, there's like, I don't know, teacups hanging from the ceiling, their bar is made out of pennies. They've got like just cute stuff everywhere. So it's just kind of a vibe from the door, from the entrance. Forager Little Thistle, thestal Thesis Lts to name a few. Also, as a follow up to your size Matters, my boyfriend, my best friend in college dated a guy for a hot second, and she would hold up her pinky finger and say that's all
there is to work with. He did get married. I hope she was a virgin with no expectations, you know. And this has always been something that's bothered me, and I think I might have brought this up maybe around you. I'm not sure. I don't like the fact that guys with little penises are laughed at because they can't help it, and you're gonna go, well, Dave must have a little one, it doesn't matter whether I do.
In the same way that women will defend women who don't have boobs, and they'll get mad at guys who say, yeah, she's flat as a board and never been nailed. That's disgusting, in the same way that guys will be like, yeah, she's a big old pancake flipping hog. What pancake flipping hog? You're a pancake flipping hog. I would never date her. She's a pancake flipping hog. I just coined that. You want to write that down somewhere, pancake clipping hog. That's her statement that you can
title this episode pancake kipping hog and that's disgusting when guys do that. If you don't like her body shape, then fuck you, then move on to somebody else. But when women make fun of guys and say, yeah, he's really nice, but he's got a little penis', that's awful because guys can't help it. That is something that a guy can't do anything about.
And to diminish him overall as a person based on the fact that he's either short or has a small penis that bothers me, you know, because there are guys out there who are wonderful that are probably really embarrassed to get naked with a woman because she might go, oh God, that he took his clothes off it was like tiny. Yeah. Well, I think most dudes too, in my humble experience, they always think that they're smaller than they are. But like, I'm not the douchebag who's like, what a tiny
penis? Now you're going to make the most of it. Yeah, you're like, Okay, well this is what I got. It's why I always bring a spatula into the bedroom, Okay, to make up for anything that I lacking in other areas. A spatula write it down, spading it down, Spatula got it all right? A little bit more from the same letter writer. Let me find the right tab here. There's tabs everywhere, the tabs, tabs, tabs. This one says the prayer I used to say
when flying depended on if it was for work or for fun. For work, it was please God. If I have to crash, please let it be before my week of boring meetings. And if it was a fun trip, I'd say, please God, let it be after my vacation. The good news is planes almost never crash anymore, so you don't have to worry about it. I will go ahead and say that you are never going to be in a plane crash in your lifetime. I promise you. You. Oh, and you can hold me to that. Yeah, knock on.
Would last question, and this is really creative. If you could be a magical addition to any musical group, no requirement to sing or play an instrument, just to assume that you can. What group would it be? I'm thinking mine would be you two. Donna in Rochester said, any magical addition to any musical group would be you two. I have not thought about it. Yeah, I love the Beatles, so they're not together or alive anymore half of them. But I would say probably the Beatles or I don't know,
simple plan maybe yeah. I mean it depends because like, if it's just a band that I like that I wouldn't mind hanging out with, then I would say, like my middle school obsession, which was they were called Busted, But if it was like for funsies, Abba, that would Oh you get to jam out every single song? Sounds awesome, Jenny girls. Oh good, okay, okay, I changed my out to change your girls.
Didn't you dress up as Spice Girls? Well, I me and my sister and our three friends were the Spice Girls and we tried to do like a charity Spice Girls concert in our driveway that we were like, we're going to take an add out in the newspaper and people will come. And that never happened. But we practiced as if we were going to put on a full performance, like every day for a few months. It's Giving nineteen ninety
nine. I live for it. Yep, last one. I think we're gonna have time for Hello, my favorite morning show crew, P one bestie I wrote before it auto corrected Kristen here, Oh, it says Beastie. It corrected it to Beastie and she's a bestie. You guys do a lot of improv on the show, which is great. It makes me think of
whose line is it? Anyway? The old TV show Love It. I may or may not have been obsessed with that show when I was in middle school, so much so that I can state basically all the lines from each game. Wow. I had the biggest crush on Ryan's styles. I even wore a necklace with his name on it. Wow. I want to ask, do you have any not conventionally or textbook attractive crusher? Oh, humor is the best turn on for me, so he was definitely my guy.
Thanks again, all or thanks again? Love the show? All right, stayed dart licking. That is from Kristen. I've been asked this before, and years ago. It was Hillary Clinton because I thought Hillary Clinton was kind of hot, unconventionally because she was powerful and I think a powerful woman kind of turns me on a little bit. She's too old for me now, yeah, gross, I mean old lady, you know all gross, but I would But back in the day, my unconventional hot crush was Hillary Clinton.
Sure, do you have anybody yeah, mine is. Rick moranis specifically when he was in Little Shop of Horrors or like Spaceballs. He is not conventionally cute. He's like shorty as glasses, brown curly hair. Rick moranis does it for me? That man gorgeous? Absolutely, he's everything. I love him and anyone who slightly resembles that brown curly hair, glasses awkward, sign me up. Oh my god. But he's got to be seventy by now. I don't necessarily think he's hot now because the same thing with Hillary.
Yeah you're a old man now, yeah, so not him anymore. But like, there's even an allergist on TikTok who looks the same. His name's doctor Rubin. What a freaking babe. Oh my god. Like no one is in his dms, Like, hey baby, but I would, I would. You would get on that and wiggle. God he's hot. Okay about you? Okay, Dave. I know you're probably not watching The Bear anymore. But there's a character in it called Neil Phack. Yeah,
I fine. I know it's probably his character that makes me like love him so much, but I'm obsessed with him and I love his badass tattoos. Yes, He's definitely not your like conventionally hot guy. He's like, I just think he's so fucking funny on that show, and I hope that that's what I think, that's what he's like in real life, because I've seen him post things on his Instagram and that is definitely mine. The big guy with y Yeah, Yeah, that's funny. Yeah, Paddy Matheson is his
uh actual name? You know. I think so much with like, attractiveness comes from personality and a lot of the time human Yeah. And I think that I've always been able to bat out of my league a little bit because I'm funny, and Julie was way out of my league. But she liked me because instead of sucking up to her all the time like every other guy she dated, I was funny and she found that really attractive. Yeah.
The only crappy thing is that funny only last so long. My last boyfriend was funny and that's pretty much what he was, and we're not gonna be more than funny. Yeah, And you can't be funny all the time, right, Yeah. I was making out in the back of my car one time with Michelle Felser before I had an apartment huh. So we drive a Palmer Park up into the mountains and we'd make out in the back of my car, and I made a joke out of everything, and Michelle Felser told
me, you can't make a joke. You always make a joke out of everything. So I learned at the age of nineteen, Sure, don't be funny all the time. You got to do it in measure. You know what I mean, in good measure. And you still make jokes that aren't funny as well. I haven't been funny since. Oh I'm waiting where they're right opportunity. Oh, okay, when it happens, I'll let you know. Okay, you'll see it coming, or will you all right, that's
