We have an unusual situation on the Minnesota Goodbye because usually it's me and Jenny, and then Bailey joined the show a couple of weeks ago, so there's the three of us, and then a woman came in to watch the show and say hi, and she's so delightful that we said, well, want you to hang out and be on the Minnesota Goodbye. You don't see this happen on Carrie Levin. You don't see Randy Shaver and Julie Nelson go. You know what. Somebody came by on a field trip. Let's have him
come on up to the desk here and read the sports. Hi, Brie, how are you hello? Thanks for having me. You're more than welcome. Thanks for being a big fan of the show. I was going to bring this up on and you're a perfect person to ask with because I thought about this morning, like, well, what can we talk about on the Minnesota Goodbye? That is a little bit different, And I want to ask how people listen to the radio show. Do you listen to a radio with
a you know, like plugs into the wall. Do you listen on iHeart? How do you listen bree? So it's a combination I usual listen on iHeart and that's because I work up in Saint Cloud, so I lose the station about halfway to work if I listen on the real radio. Okay, gotcha. I tend to listen on iHeartRadio unless there's something that I'm like, ooh, I don't want the delay and try to win. But I know you guys address that now. Yeah, more often so usually I Heart Radio.
Okay. And you also listen to the Minnesota Goodbye absolutely my favorite part, and that you like that better than the actual radio show? Do? Yeah? Tell me why? Because it's it's it's interesting for us. It's kind of like if you're in a band and you go, why do you like our songs? We like our songs, but what do you like about
the Minnesota Goodbye? I love the behind the scenes look that we get at the day of ride in the morning show, when when we get to ask questions about how how things work or what you do, or just questions that we wouldn't normally get answers to on the regular show. And then of course just the off the cuff you know, occasional fuck word yea my favorite. Yeah, we do get those in there every once in a while, book word, what what is there any question that you have about the morning show?
And I don't want to put you on the spot, but we're doing a segment tomorrow Friday at seven twenty, Like, you know, what have you always wondered about the Dave Ryan Show? Like I don't know why did Corey Foley leave? Or is there any questions you have about the show? Sure? So, I feel like I've asked a lot of them in previous emails, but I am a staff writer, of course. Yeah, I like to know, like, how what do you look forward to every day?
Considering you have done this for so long? What keeps you coming back to doing this every day and staying fresh and funny and all of that? I think because no matter how my state of mind is, like when I get if I'm tired or I'm worried about something, for the four hours that were on the show, there's nothing else that really matters. And I think
that's a really cool thing. And I was telling Bailey I had like a like some serious like personal shit going on about eight no about ten or twelve years ago, and it bugged the shit out of me all the time. I couldn't sleep and but I would come on the show and I would like forget all about it because, you know, because it's just it's very fun. It's therapeutic. Yeah, so yeah, and it's it's just fun. I still enjoyed doing it. What I don't like, honestly, honestly,
one hundred percent. I'm really tired of getting up at four o'clock in the morning. I'm just tired of it. I've done it for near I've done it since I was twenty one years old. Yeah, that would be hard, and and and getting up early except two days a week is just bullshit, is what it is. It's bullshit. So like a whiner to me, honestly, Yeah, well I do like wine. I am really good at whining. I know Bailey and I whined each other all the time about
the gym. I ain't petty, I ain't nothing because Bailey and I we don't want to go to the gym, but we've talked ourselves into seeing it as I get to go to the gym. You are you athletic because you're six foot two. So I used to play basketball, you know, the typical tall girl thing. Other than that and a few other U sports, I am not super athletic. I am more of yours stood on the couch watch Netflix kind of girl. Okay, and you and I both watched the
same show. We watched The Dance for the Devil TikTok thing. Yeah so good. Yeah, highly recommend It is about a couple of girls to go to La to become famous dancers and they get involved in a TikTok dance cult. Yes, there is a TikTok dance cult. Okay, do you have an Instagram? Because people are gonna know what you look like? What is your Instagram? So it's my name, Brianna Boulet b r e a n n a b o u l e y. B r e a n n a b o u l e y. That's correct. I get that.
I got another first take. I love your last name. It's so beautiful, it really is. Is it like French or something is? Yeah? And then my middle name is Quinn. Oh what a fucking great Brianna Quinn Boulet. Ye. Fancy all right, couple of let's get into the emails here. After having Bailey on the show a couple of weeks solid, I am certain if Lena and Fallon somehow had a baby, it would be Bailey Nice. I have wanted Bailey on the show permanently since the first time she
subbed in. I'm also excited Vonta's officially on the show. He is so great. I was getting worried about him being burnt out being there in the morning and later at night. It's good to hear Jenny's anxiety is getting better. Anxiety can be debilitating. Well, it's better because I helped Jenny and I told her to just calm the fuck down. Yeah, when somebody has anxiety, the best thing you can do as his supportive friend is say calm the fuck down. Yes, did that help you? It did? It
helped me. It's literally what changed everything for me was when you said that to me. I was like, I'm also like telling people smile. You should smile, warm, lax, calm down. I also like to say, and if you're pissed at me for saying that, then you don't know anything about this show. You're acting crazy. That's what Dave says to me. Also, you're acting crazy. Oh my god, you're so right. Daddy Bear, Please don't retire anytime soon. This is a perfect combo of
personalities. You guys are all different and it makes for great entertainment. Quick Minnesota Goodbye content. What's your favorite type of beer from a brewery? Quickly Red Beer, Jenny as Ours Okayders Ciders and Bailey half a Ison hef a Vice in Okay. We are all different, YEA love breweries. I love stouts the best, although I'll try anything. Two of my favorite beers I've had is Cinnamon Brezel from Garfish in Bethel and s'mores from Revelation Ale Works in
Hallick, Minnesota. Thanks for being the best and making me laugh cry regularly. Another Brianna and a different Brianna though, but thank you. I love your email. Thank you very much. Appreciate that one. Okay, remember yesterday it was on the Minnesota Goodbye or On the show, I talked about how we have an infestation of snakes in the backyard. Ye and I said, I don't know how to get rid of them. But the people who do our landscaping said, you've got snakes and ants in the backyard. So
I got an email from Jessica, who is a Minnesota park ranger. This is so perfect. I just love this, she says, high Day, Minnesota Park Ranger, Here, snakes in your backyard are nothing to worry about. No venomous snakes in this part of the state. It is most likely garter snakes, who are harmless and like to curl up together under rocks or in the ground. Bigger snake could be a bowl or fox snake, also not venomous. They eat other pests like mice, vowls, moles, and
rats. You're actually pretty lucky to have snakes in your yard. So if you haven't noticed them before, I'd say you're already living in harmony with them and don't worry about them. Ranger Jessica, Jessica. Yeah, you saved us probably five hundred dollars because we called the Orcan people, and Orcan people
has a division where they do wildlife. Okay, I have a snake division, yes, or broadly it's a wildlife division, and we had them to come out tomorrow and so we called them yesterday and canceled because of your email, Ranger Jessica, So thank you. Have you seeing them yourself? Not at all? No, I wouldn't Yeah, I wouldn't be concerned either if they're just like garters, which is all there is apparently, Like how She framed them as they like to cuddle up like they're just loving. Snakes are
an ugly animal. Let's face it, they're ugly and frightening. They really are the they got the shit into the stick in the animal Kingdom because people want to kill them because they're ugly. Can you imagine if we looked at ugly people and we said, well, let's kill them because they're ugly. And I feel bad for snakes because they didn't ask to be ugly and frightening, but they got the fucked up tongue and they got the beady eyes,
and people want to kill them and they feel triumphant. Oh I killed a snake out arden. Well, they're ugly. They can't help it, so I try to see the positive side of a snake. You are not a green Bailey. I just thinking, did you ask to be ugly or did you just kind of get that short one? I was blessed. Yeah, you are now my least favorite person on the show. All right. We taught the other day on a Naughty Tuesday about size queens, and I think
we haven't actually called the episode size. It wasn't even Naughty Tuesday, it was just yesterday Yesterday, a regular Thursday Wednesday. Christy Light writes in and she says, size queen definitely. Unfortunately, size does matter. I guess I'm fortunate that most people I've been with have just pleased me. And then I started dating a guy for a few months, and when we hooked up, he was a life saver role. Okay, so that is what we
said, was maybe smaller. After that, I had to call one of my guy friends because I was in such shock at how small he was, and he wanted to know if my guy. He wanted to know my guy if girls the JJ's reigned so vastly too. I also, I think girls go to the bathroom to go poop when the poop is ready to come out. I think boys weird transition. But he changes gears really quickly. She
knows she changes gears really quickly. None at all. I think boys toot and think, oh I might have to poop, and then go and sit there for an hour. Anyway, have yourself a great day. Love the show for twenty plus years, all right, I can't get firm. I date someone who just like says on the toilet, probably because they just tooted, and they're like I don't know. I might have to go, so I'm gonna go sit down. Same. That's the funniest thing, Okay.
Next one, Demante regular staff writer says, Dave saying dart in and out of the asshole in that voice made me lol. That shit was funny. What did I do? I don't remember. You explained how to dart? Oh? Yeah, because people said, what's a dart? I said on the topic of war the rosa being shorter. I think if you cut the Jonathan Fogel part to a little bit shorter, it would save some time. Actually, Jonathan and I had a discussion because I get carried away talking to
Jonathan. Yeah, and the boss said, yeah, you need to shorten it up a little bit, Dave, because I get carried away. So we're going to try to keep that part a little bit shorter. Not Jonathan's fault, it's Dave's fault. And that's it from Demante. Thank you, DeVante, appreciate them. Next one, I'm not gonna skip that one for now, and I'm gonna go up to this one. Minnesota, goodbye, don't use my name. My husband and I were invited to a wedding and
we aren't going to be attended. I'm unsure if I should send a card with a gift of money. Typically I always give a wedding gift when I'm invited. However, I'm not really sure why we were even invited. The groom and I went to elementary school together and have one mutual friend we see at birthday parties for that mutual friend, I don't want to be cheap, but I also feel like I was invited to fill a venue. Direction on
if I should give a gift and that would be helpful or not. I feel a little bit bad for the couple that invited you, because I feel like maybe they don't have enough acquaintances and they're inviting people. Kind of like if your kid doesn't have a lot of friends and you feel bad that only four people are going to come to her birthday party, so you might invite people that she's not really good friends with, sure, and just hope that
maybe you'll fill some seats. So I'm guessing that's probably what it is, because some couples they just don't have a lot of friends. I would say, if you can find it in your heart to go, go, you'll make them so happy. You really will but if you don't go, then don't send them a gift. What do you think, Bree, You're up? Yeah, I think absolutely go. And if you go, you don't have to give a big gift either. You can do something small so they
know that you were there, a card, something quick. But I totally understand if it's not a really good friend acquaintance. Are you even going to know anybody else at the wedding? Well, that's the thing. And if you don't know anybody else at the wedding, then it's kind of like, Okay, well, isn't the worst thing at a wedding? What is the
worst thing at a wedding? I will tell you. And I'm thinking you're going to agree the seating arrangements because you're going to sit across from their aunt and uncle who are hard of hearing and they don't speak great English, and you're gonna be like, so, how do you like Minnesota? And they're gonna say, like, I can't hear you in some like you know, German accent or something. And then you'll look over here and there's their niece
and nephew who are very shy. So the seating arrangement, that's the worst parted wedding because you don't know who you're gonna get it or the painful speeches. The painful speeches, it's you, I'm going to be honest. It's usually the father of the bride. Yeah, the father of the bride who goes on for way too long or says some weird as stories from childhood that are nobody knows. Yeah, like I don't know's it's not every time, Like Dave did a great job at Allison's wedding, but I just my best
friend from home. Her dad spoke for like twenty five minutes. That'diculous. Ridiculous. Yeah, I think that people don't realize you have to keep his speech short. And people don't realize and they think, well, it's my daughter's wedding, I'm going to keep it long. I'm sorry, I get it. Maybe you can talk to her, write a letter, but keep your speech short. If you're doing a speech this summer at a wedding.
Number one, practice it. Don't say I'm going to add lib and speak from the heart and get a little liquid courage, because people do it all the time and then they usually say something embarrassing or inappropriate. Practice it. Write it down and then just do a couple of bullet points. I'd say
three to five minutes mad for any speech. Listening to speech, Yeah, I was at I don't want to say because I don't embarrass anybody, But somebody worked on the show and their brother spoke at the wedding and he covered the relationship of like how his brother knows everybody who came to the wedding, and it was like fucking sun. Alright, next week, let's see what we got here. Okay, that was a different one. And that was a different one too. Let's go to this one. You can say my
name. I don't recall if you've done this before, but I've been listening since elementary school. I'm forty one. But it might be interesting to ask people how they broke up with their best friend or even just a friend and the pressure to stay friends with them because of family, friends, et cetera. I recently realized that this is probably more common than we think, and why doesn't it seem okay if somebody just doesn't want to be your friend anymore,
just thought love you. Brentley and I broke up because he was being a dick and I was just done but I miss him terribly. And then a friend of mine and I we've been friends. We both had sons the same age. We knew each other in Ohio, and I was tired of it being one sided. I would write to her, I would text her, and I'd like, She'd wait five days to text back, Oh, I've been busy. Sorry, And I finally said, you know what I'm done. If I'm that much trouble, I don't want to be your friend
anymore. So anybody have any answers I do. I pretty much broke up with my best friend from home a few years back. We're fine now, but we're not really friends anymore. Because she would always promise that she would come visit me. And then the final straw, which that wasn't that big of a deal, but the final straw was we were supposed to do the half marathon I did. We were supposed to do it together, and then she was having some medical issues, so I totally understood she wasn't really able
to train for it. But then it was down in Milwaukee. She lives near my hometown, like an hour north, or she lives in my hometown an hour north Milwaukee, and she told me she would still come and cheer me on, and she didn't fucking come. And I trained really hard for it. We were supposed to do it together. I didn't care that she wasn't doing it with me, but you were supposed to be there to support me at least, and you lived an hour late, an hour away.
I drove six hours to do the marathon, and so that was like the final straw for me, and I just told her I was so frustrated, and we didn't talk for a couple of years, and she finally reached out and like apologized for everything. But I was like, I'm so sick of like being there for you and then you're making promises and falling through. So that was kind of what happened with us, and like we're still there for each other if we need it, but we really aren't tight anymore. Like
we don't make plans anything like that. Anybody else break up with a friend. I mean, I have I have a thing to say about it, but I was going to end up talking about it on the head of vulnerability next week, so I don't want to give it to do that. Okay, let's save it another email, Courtney writes in I love the new lineup. It is such a good blend of ages, interests, et cetera. Keep kicking ass. A couple of minor critiques for the new kids. Oh
voices, vough, stop calling yourself Tavius. He loves to call all of us by like bigger names. He calls you Dave, David, he calls me Jennifer, he called you, he called me something that was he made up like just the other day. It adds nothing. It's confusing, long and annoying. Other than that, keep being the dick. I love it because we said it's the dick, the dork, the deer, and then daddy Bear or Dave. Yeah, Bailey, I follow you on Instagram and
I just read your updated bio. It made me a little sad that you call yourself the homely Onebody texted that in Fallon told me to do that. What do what? Put myself as the homely one? Which somebody texted in saying that, oh Bailey is, she's less homely than I thought she would be. What the fun call yourself the homely one? Well? I said that, like people were texting in hate comments and that somebody called me homely and she's like that's hilarious. Put that in your Instagram bio, and so
I did, No, I would take that out. Fine, I'm taking it. I don't. I don't like that at all. I don't. I don't like that I got to be funny. No, I don't like it for so many reasons. Because you're not homely. Well, you're not meant like the girl next door or something that's a homie. Okay, but I like dishovel like look, it has unattractive and appearance, and you google it. So I did not know that that's what that meant. Alan usually
gives good advice, but I don't like that advice. That is yeah, okay, fine out, Okay, geez, Louise, these people, I mean, you could work on a couple of things, like your eyebrows. Fine, I'm joking coming from you, mister caterpillar over there. Oh you are on what you Let me tell you something, Jenny, you are on thin ice and you are jumping up and down. You might not be here tomorrow, might not be here tomorrow, she gets Friday Bailey continuing, I
get that we're allowed to make fun of ourselves. Everybody is offended by everything these days. But I think it's worth telling you that you're beautiful and I'm so happy you're part of the show. You've obviously been a huge fan forever. Don't take this wrong way, but I think you're kind of hot. That's not You're one person who thinks that. No, one no, And I've always thought you were kind of hot. But don't ever get I don't want to make that sound weird, because there's no way I will never ever
be any appropriate inappropriate with anybody in the show. I mean, I might call you a douche or something like that. Yeah, but I don't never get. I don't cross that line on the show because I've learned that and I just never did it before. I've done it before. No, I've never hooked up with anybody that I worked with directly on the show, but I've hooked up with people in the building. Have you pre hooked up with people that you worked with before? Well, I'm married to one go on.
My husband and I met when we worked at a restaurant ages ago, and I was underage and he was a little bit older than I. Scandalous. Well, you didn't start dating. We didn't dating until I was eighteen, correct, But you've been married for how many years now? Fifteen this
December. It worked out great for you guy, you know, And it's so funny how we meet, you know, It's I always find it fascinating how there are so many people in the world that most of them, nearly all of them, will always be strangers, even to the people that you meet. Forget about people in Switzerland or Kenya. I'm talking about people that
you meet. They're pretty much always going to be strangers. But isn't it interesting how we'll find one person, you know, sometimes more in our lifetime that we just connect with so well, and you know what they're thinking, and you want to talk to them, and sometimes you're mad, but you really, you just really connect with that one person. Ah, what's that like? Well, I don't know. I was gonna ask you. Oh, I don't know. So I'm still waiting to meet her or him or
him. I'm open. Oh, we got to wrap up any we do. Oh, there's so much more. I'm now, babe. We got a whole podcast we can do tomorrow, though, Do it tomorrow on the Minnesota Goodbye. Send your emails to Ryan Show at KTIWB dot com. Thanks to special guest Brianna Quinn full full fill a boule. Yeah, okay, thank you. It was fun. Thanks for having me.
