Transcript

I have a meeting in about ten minutes or so, so we're gonna be a little bit shorter on the Minnesota Goodbye. So I have not pre read these emails to know what they're going to do. So let's jump in. Here comes Brent from a Chicago and Brent wants a staff writer sticker, So I'm gonna take a picture of his address. I got to catch up on those. I'm way behind. Hey all, I keep hearing you read emails

from people complaining about too many commercials on the podcast interrupting the show. I listen to the pod on the Apple podcast app and only experience one commercial at the beginning and one at the end. Maybe ditch the iHeart app. I would defend the iHeart app, but if they can't get their act together, then I don't know what to say. It is really annoying, Like we get a lot of text messages, a lot of people being like, hey,

I've been listening to commercials for the last twenty minutes. Yeah, what's going on? I mean, if you're gonna find it's kind of like if you get better service at Target, then you do it. Cohles, You're gonna go to Target? So I would love to defend the iHeart app, but I would rather have you have a great experience on the Apple App than try to listen to the iHeart App. So, but he does say, I will admit I'm an avid listener to the Morning Show via the iHeart App

from Chicago. So they listened to the show on the iHeart App, which seems to work fine, but the podcast is a different story. Thanks for the entertainment. By the way, I'm digging the bro Show while Jenny is out. Thank you, Brent. I appreciate that one. By the way, go on Jenny's Instagram and look at the pictures of the really really cool

pictures of Jenny's vacation. Please don't say a name. I have a story was reminded of yesterday when you talked about cars breaking down and approaching strangers. My senior year of college in twenty fifteen, I had an interview for a teaching job up north. For some reason, my directions took me through a very bizarre back road. I was driving a Great Grand Caravan minivan when I heard the loudest noise and realized I'd blown a tire. Oh, no service

to make a call. Was stranded on a dirt road in my nice dress pants, heels and the works. I started approaching some houses. Do you see if anybody had a landline I could use. The first house had a dog that came running out of me, and I quickly turned and ran as fast as I could in my heels back to my car. They must have had an invisible fence because it never left the yard. The next house over, luckily had a woman who was home and let me borrow her landline,

call a tow truck, and then my boyfriend. Eventually the tow truck came. I had service and called the place I was interviewing, and I was three hours late. They still interviewed me and I got the job. Wow, thanks for all you do. That is staff writer and I won't say her name. A friend told me a story a long time ago about how he got the job at a record company because he got there at the office building that was like thirty or forty stories high and the elevator wasn't working.

So this guy who was a DJ with me in Chicago or Columbus, he ran up the stairs because the elevators weren't working because he didn't want to be late, so he ran up thirty or forty flights of stairs, got to the interview all out of breath and pulling his collar open and sweating, and the manager interviewing him thought that was so funny that he gave him the job because it was such a great story. It's so funny. Yeah, that is a good story. Thank you for that. I'm gonna hit delete lex

one. Thank you, Dave. I feel so seen. I appreciate so much that you quickly describe parenting two small children as fucking constant and the lot. It's true. I love it so much. I'm a stay at home mom and I had my second child on day one of the pandemic shutdown. Even now that they are a little older, they talk so much, and it's such a volume that I can't even hear myself. Think. Many days

it's me or one or both of them for thirteen hours straight. That's just a lot of time to spend with someone who has very little concept of personal time or space. You guys are great. Thank you. That is from Michelle. We talked about this many times, about how Alison brings the girls over because Alison and Justin need to break but they are a lot. They are constantly in need of attention at one and three years old. I you know, I've been thinking about this, when is the age that people usually

start thinking about having kids? Because there's a lot there's a bunch of people that I graduated with, you know, they're starting to get kids, they're starting to get married, and I just have zero desire for it, Like literally zero desire for it. After seeing you know, I'm a great with my niece and nephew. I'll babysit them, awesome, it's fine, but man, seeing how they are with like my brother and all that is just like, wow, I don't I don't want to know. And you know

what, I loved kids when I was like ten twelve years old. That was great with my nieces and nephews. Never had any desire to have kids till I you know, I didn't even when Cricket got pregnant. I was nineteen. Actually when she got pregnant, I was eighteen. Beth was born when I was nineteen, But it wasn't like I had this instinct. I'm really glad that I've had all my kids, but I think that I don't know that there's an age do you ever want it? You don't think you

ever want to have kids? No, I think I'll I do eventually want to have kids, I think, but right now it's just like I can't even fathom it, you know what I'm saying, Like, it's just not something that I really want, right And I ask it totally inappropriate question. Yeah, you being gay? What would be your game plan to have a kid? You know, I haven't done a whole lot of research about it.

It would probably be adoption. I think there's like some type of thing where you can give somebody sperm and they bure Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, is that what that is? Yeah, so it probably be something like that or an adoption, you know, it's whatever, Okay, I'm just curious. Yeah, I don't know if there's an age. I think some people want to have kids when they're like twenty years old, and other people want to have kids because it's getting close to the end of their baby making

years, right, But I don't know. I think some people, really you want to have kids when you're young enough to be able to keep up with them. But I had Carson when I was thirty eight, and I never had trouble keeping up with him. We've gone on hikes and boy scouts

and rafting and snowboarding and skiing together. My dad was forty seven, almost forty eight when he had me, which was I didn't realize it when I was young, but when I got older and I realized that my dad was twenty years older than my friend's dad, right, dad's it was a little bit weird, but he did a really good job of you know, we weren't out like doing strenuous stuff, but he went camping and shooting and hiking things like that. So I don't know. I don't have an Maybe you

have an answer for Drake. I'm not sure. Next one from Demonte, a regular staff writer, meant to email in yesterday, but I forgot. I had to share what Dave made me do at work on Wednesday. You're all doing Hallmark movie improv games. I mistakenly took a big gulp of water. Dave suddenly and unexpectedly yelled, shut up, you old bitch to Drake's character. I am a ups driver. I was in the back of the truck where I keep my water, also where packages are loaded. I'm sure

you can start to paint the picture. I proceeded a spit take all over a couple of shelves of packages. Oh no, they were dry by the time I got to that section. So what the customers don't know won't hurt him. I suppose blame Dave. He caused this, not me. Thanks for my sticker. Attached is my pick on my sixty four Houns water bottle. I also added a picture of my care bear sticker because it's funny. And there it is, and he's got a freaking care bear on the side

of his bottle. Demante, we love you, thank you very much, and he writes again. He writes another email, and he says, Dave, your analogy on roller coasters being like sex was hilarious. Yesterday we were talking about how you know different sex is like you know, it's like going to Valley Fair. There are some people who want to go on the scary, scary rides where you scream the entire time, and some people who want to take it easy. Drake, you are disgusting for wanting to go to

the water park and want to are sick. Fuck lmao. Just JK, Dave. You said you have a crack in your windshield has been there for a while. Just wanted to see if you know if your insurance covers window damage. I think they do. Most do. They usually use safe light, and they will come to do the repair at your home, super convenient. I sent an email last week that I think got lost in the shuffle. I'm sending again so you can at least know what you made me do

for. And that's the one with the water bottle. I'm going to bring back something from that you won't remember. It happened before you were born. There used to be a company that advertised all over radio and TV that if they fixed your windshield, they'd give you a free box of steaks. And

I'm going to look up the guy. I don't want to do anything that, like, you know, Sally's his character, but let me look up here, because his name was, like we're talking like actual like food steak, Yeah exactly, Okay, So yeah, his name is George Corporal. And so George Corporal is dead, and so I don't risk saying anything bad about him because you you know, it's not that I want to say anything

bad about George Corporal. But George Corporal had this company and I don't remember what it was called, but George Corporal would basically he did these advertisements that said, if you get your windshield fixed with us here it is glass service company. Get your windshield fixed with us, will give you a free box of steaks. And it was a huge, huge deal because when you got your windshield fixed in the eighties and nineties in Minnesota, you did it with

this guy. Then people started to figure out, wait a second, my insurance company, nobody's insurance company, should be paying for a free box of steaks. You should be paying for the windshield. Sure, pay for my windshield to get fixed. But for them to build in the price of a box of steaks just to when your business was a little bit shady. Yeah. So I say that not because it's a great story, but because it's

a little bit of a nostalgic little thing. Yeah, because back in the day, you got your windshield fixed by George Corporal and got a free box of stake. What a great deal it wasn't People would be like, shit, I want them steaks. Yeah, dude, next one you were talking about car troubles cracking windshields. I have horrible luck with these types of things. Want to tell my misfortunes. In twenty twenty, I made my first big girl purchase of a brand new Jeep twelve miles on it the perfect car,

just what I was looking for twenty years old. So a brand new car was a big deal, especially compared to the piece of junk that I was driving before. Two days after I bought him, driving down one sixty nine following a semi, but I had no choice. My exit was very soon. The semi hit a small rock and it flew at my car and cracked my windshield, devastating. Got it fixed not even six months later, same chunk a highway. Getting off the same exit, a dump truck with

wood debris in the back was in front of me. A rock flew out the back and crack my windshield again. In the same car, I was in the lane next to another dump truck. Thang something I still don't know what flew out of the back and somehow perfectly landed to pop my tire. I had the worst luck with this car. Four years later, I still love her. By the way, her name is Betty White. Oh my

god, that's great. That's just so unlucky, dude. I mean, seriously, that's something you could expect maybe every ten years, but not that often. I would love a sticker if still available, and I'm gonna send you on aman decay. She signs it dart lick, dart lick, thank you very much. I'm gonna hit the lead on that one. And this one is a sex capades one that goes on for a really long time. So I'm going to flag that for a Naughty Tuesday. And I think we're

gonna be a little bit short, but I go back to Tammy. Tammy sent an email close to a month ago. She said, I figure if you have some questions, if you need some questions, they might be fun to answer. We need need to fill some time, so I'm going to give you one right now. Okay, there you go. Ready. Yep. If you were kidnapped and we're able to call your partner and say just one sentence, that cannot be help I'm kidnapped. What sentence would you say

that would let your partner know that something was definitely wrong? Example, somebody that's terrified to steakes, snakes saying they are thinking of becoming a snake breeder. So that's a tough one. If you were to call your partner or somebody and say something that lets them know you're being kidnapped, But you can't say help, I'm kidnapped. What would you say? I would say, can you bring over some food for my pet spider? Because I hate spiders.

I have a rachnophobia. So and I would probably call my parents because they know how terrified I am because I was a fucking little b word about spiders when I was younger. That's that's legit, because they'd be like, whoa Drake, are you okay? That's all you say and hang up and they go, oh, my god, Drake's not okay. That genius,

I guess. I could say, I don't know, I'm here on the moon and the view is lovely, and then Susan would be like, what the fuck you I And then if I just said that and I hung up, she would probably call nine one one, Wow, I'm speaking of bugs. It was funny because I give Chase such a hard time. I told this story during his wedding during the Father of the Groom speech. He hated

bugs when he was a kid. And when Chase was probably about sixteen or so, he was at my house in Colorado and he was in the bathroom taking a shower and getting ready, and I heard a blood curdling scream, just a horrible scream, and I thought, oh my god, he slipped in the tub. He cut himself open, he's dying. I ran to the bathroom. I knocked on the door, Chase, are you okay? No, there's a bug in here. And so he also did not like he still does not like bugs. And that's it for the Minnesota Goodbye.

Send your emails to Ryanshow at KDWB dot com, and we'd love to get Sean for next time. We'd love to send you a Minnesota Goodbye staff writer sticker. Send those in because we'll need more for tomorrow. To Ryanshow at KDWB dot com.
