All right, is Minnesota Goodbye time on KATIEWB.

Let's get started with the emails and see what we got.

Here's one.

Do you guys get raises now that there are advertisements throughout each hour of podcasts?

No, No, didn't know that there were advertisements through each hour of the podcast.

No, we don't see any of that money.

That money goes to the bottom line.

I'm gonna go ahead and tell you something else that they are extra commercials on the morning show now because apparently we're late on rent and they needed to pull in some extra money, so they're playing some more of those top dog law commercials.

Yeah, to pull in some extra money.

So yeah, yep.

So no, we're not going to raise on that one, but thank you for asking.

Here's another one.

Catching up on the podcast the other day during my lunch bait break, my daily Minnesota Goodbye ritual, and I had to laugh, Dave, you were talking about getting val pack and never opening it.

The funny part they actually run ads on the Minnesota Goodbye what what since they're my competitor.

It drives me a little crazy every time I hear it, but it also made me think you might want to might not want to let him hear you say you never use it.

I don't know if it would ruffle feathers or not, but I wanted to give you a heads up because I'm sure you have no idea.

No, absolutely no idea.

Yeah, and I don't open vowel pack.

But that's not to say it's not a valuable service.

I just don't.

It's like the service you don't need.

It's a service I don't need, like Stanley Steamer.

Yeah, I don't need Stanley Steamer because I use zero res.

That doesn't mean anything bad about Stanley Steamer.

I got a valve pack in the mail yesterday.

My problem is I never checked my mail, and then every time I do, it's like overflowing, and I feel bad for the mailman.

Really is it that that too?

I just like, I have no reason, there's nothing in it.

Granted, I did have a birthday card for my dad and there it was my birthday on the nineteenth, and I didn't check my mail until the twenty ninth, So thanks that.

Cash a check.

I wonder if it's a young person thing, because I will mail something to Chase for his birthday, or I'll find something like, oh, here's a cool picture of me and you when you were five, And I'll mail it to him and he won't respond to it.

And I'll mail him a check, like I'll send him one hundred dollars for his birthday or whatever.

Yeah, and he doesn't write me back, and I'll say, did you get my birthday card?

He's like, uh no, I haven't checked the mail in a few days.

It's like, I think it's a younger person thing, because to my generation, checking the mail meant kind of like Christmas morning.

There might be a package in there, there might be a birthday card, there might be a letter from your sister.

Well, nobody writes letters anymore.

Birthday cards are you know whatever.

I check the mail excitedly every day and those almost never anything in it.

Yeah, minor just ads and like a credit card you've been pre approved and all of that stuff.

A lot of that, a lot of like charities that are looking for donations, a lot of like I don't know people who hang Christmas lights that want to hang Christmas lights.

So yeah, mail is not as fun as it used to be.

Anyway.

All that said, I'm a longtime listener, absolutely loved tuning in every day.

Thank you Amanda, thanks for always keeping me company and making me laugh while I eat lunch.

And by the way, if the home mag all one word the home Mag ever shows up in your mailbox, open it.

I sure will.

Well I don't know what that is, but thank you very much.

And I say something that I'm waiting for in the mail and I'm not sure if I'm going to get And I think Dave can relate to this.

So I was not able to attend this one bridal shower of a good friend.

However, a group of us went in on the present together and we've spent like a significant amount on that present, and so like I was not physically there, but my name should have been on the card, and I haven't.

I don't expect a thank you card, but I did kind of expect like a thank you in general because so, but like I still contributed and I haven't heard from that person at all, and I kind of I want to like text the person who like put it all together for the group of us and be like, hey.

Did you put my name on the card?

Wondering because like I can't be mad at the bride if like my name just accidentally didn't.

Yeah, but there's part of.

Me that I was like, I'll be honest, I spent more on that present than I would have, but it was because whoever was in charge was like, let's do this, and then like whatever split between all of us.

It was like kind of a lot of money.

So I've been sort of waiting to see if I get a thank you card from that and I have not gotten it.

Yet, and it makes you a little bit It's somewhere between pissed and hurt.

Yeah, I would say yeah, I would say yes, definitely a little bit, probably more pissed, but only because like I don't know the situation and I have no control over it.

So I'm like, well, who's that fault here?

Because I think that person would say thank you to me if my name was on the card, But what if it wasn't, or what if they just like assumed it?

And then I also feel like an asshole that like it seems like I didn't get them anything.

Yeah, right, Yes, I ask the friend who like put it together, be like, please did tell me?

Did you put my name on it?

Yeah?

Yeah?

Ooh I forgot Yeah I get Really I'm a big gratitude person because I like to do nice things for people, and it's not like you got to kiss my ass for doing it, but I do appreciate a thank you, and there's just like I think there's gratitude, but not expressions of gratitude.

I'll give you an example.

And if Beth, if my daughter's listening, or her husband, Marcus, I'm really sorry, but I'm going to go ahead and say this.

And I've told her before I will send their kids for their birthday or Christmas like one hundred bucks.

And I don't get a thank you.

I don't get a phone call, I don't get anything.

And it's not like I expect them to, like, you know, create a Dave Ryan Grandpa holiday.

I just want a little thank you and I don't get it, and it really pisses me off.

So like I think it was I don't know.

I sent something to them months ago, like did you get my card?

No, I haven't got it yet.

I'll open it up later.

I'll check the mail later.

Well I never heard back.

Yeah, And it's like all I want is like, gee, thanks Grandpa for the birthday card or thanks for the fifty dollars, and I don't get it.

And it just is like well, why the fuck would I send you anything, right if you're.

Not going to acknowledge me.

Yeah, So if you got me four gift cards of door Dash and I was excited when you gave them to me, is that enough thanks?

Or should I send you a card?

No?

You said thank you at the time.

I think you did.

You seem very very grateful that I got it for you.

But I think that the thing is I know that I, you know, am a financial situation to help, you know, bestow do nice things for other people, and I appreciate that, but there's too many people that they just don't have appreciation.

So it makes me want to go, well, why the fuck would I do anything nice for you when your hand is I have so many friends who like will you do this for me?

Will you do this for me?

Will you take me flying?

Will you do this?

Will you take me flying?

And at some point you kind of want to go, what have you done for me?

Well?

Yeah, and it's like, what what if I mean?

Do you know what I'm saying?

You know you mean?

Yeah, I know what you mean, though it does feel kind of weird to say, like, well, what have you done for me lately?

Like, oh, crap.

I shouldn't say it like that, but like I get the sentiment behind it.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I think being grateful, though, is such a good quality.

And I was like raised that way to thank people for things, Like I always had to call my aunt and uncle or whatever whoever it was if they sent me a card, even if there wasn't like money in it or something like, I had to call them and say thank you.

That's how my mom raised us.

Because it now that that love and gratitude goes both ways instead of being a one way street of I'm going to give you something, do something nice, and even if it's just a card and there's no five dollars bill in there from your Aunt Shirley, it's a card and Aunt Shirley was thinking about you.

Now you need to send a little love back to Aunt Shirley.

Yeah.

Now I'm thinking about the three grad parties I went to this summer, and I didn't get a thank you card for any of them.

Oh Dan, and I give them money too, Yeah.

So yeah, And isn't it refreshing though when you do get a kid a grad boot card and give them a fifty dollars Target gift card that within a week, they've sent you a thank you note.

Yeah, that's the fucking best.

That does mean a lot.

I just got a thank you card to the station because I spoke at this women's event a couple of weeks ago.

So one of the women that attended it send a thank you card to me, and like what she wrote in it was so sweet And I wasn't expecting that whatsoever because I just like spoken to an event, and so I was like, I think I need to pay more attention and send cards more than just a verbal thank you.

Yeah.

I told you about there was a local celebrity that asked me to marry them and their fiance.

So about a year ago.

You know, I don't know them well, but I know of them, and they're like, hey, I know you marry people.

We want to do something and really quick, so will you meet us here and do this marriage?

And here was literally on the other side of town during rush hour.

I said, I'm not going to the other side of town during rush hour, but I'll meet you over here in chan Hassen and I'll marry you.

And I've told you this story before.

They gave me a twenty five dollars gift card that didn't work, and I was like, fuck.

You know, first of all, I know you you could afford more than a twenty five dollars gift card and it didn't even work.

Did you?

You never confronted them about it?

No, because I don't want to hurt their feelings.

No, I know, but I feel like you could have gone about it.

I think this is what I said to you, is you could have gone about it and be like, hey, not a big deal, but just don't want you to be charged for something that like didn't get loaded because.

I should have been right, Yeah, you know I should have, but I get it.

You don't want and in the end, it was only potentially twenty five dollars.

If it was like a hundred, i'd definitely be like, yo, no money on this.

Yeah, right exactly?

All right, moving on, Hello, team, My name is Rudy.

I've been listening to you guys since August eleventh of twenty eleven, okay, right before Lena left the show, and I've listened NonStop ever since.

My wife makes fun of me for it.

Okay, that's kind of funny.

Anyway, I want to say thank you to Bailey because my kids and I were at the Renfest on Sunday and you were so nice to my sons Landon and Mateo.

Yes, so cute.

They came up and they kind of were like moon eyed.

They're like, are you Bailey?

And I was like, yes, we listen.

And that's kind of it.

I'm like, cool, Okay.

I can see that cute.

I mean, there are still people who, you know, like kids listen to the radio and there's a certain magic in that.

If I were to meet somebody like Sheila Summers, who I listened to when I was a kid, yeah or whatever, I'd be like, fuck, this is cool.

Yeah, And there you were, sweet, so sweet.

Landon and Matteo forced to listen to you guys on the way home from school, and now they love listening to Bailey and Bernie call in best bit since War of the Roses first aired in ninety six.

Okay, you're being funny ring Hello?

Hey, am I gonna shoot at your bag?

You are Bernie?

Hi?

Hey, I was just wondering if I could be a guest today.

Is I shook lucid poop?

So I'm feeling light.

I'm feeling light and airy.

You did what with a poop?

I shook, shook loosi poop.

Oh, okay, I shook LOI poop just fouture butt on the carpet too.

That's only when you have worms, Jenny, Oh, I didn't know that I got rid of my worms long ago.

Good for you, Bernie Weeks.

Oh, hold on, I hear someone calling I got a run?

Okay, bye.

You two are ridiculous.

What anyway, Bailey gave us a free chocolate dip strawberry and they were not expecting that.

They were superstarstruck.

They were nervous at first, but then they had the courage to say hello again again, thank you Bailey for being such a wonderful person.

We love all you guys.

Anyway, can I please get a staff rider sticker?

And they give me a street address but no city or zip code?

Ely so, but Rudy, thank you very much.

I appreciate you listening for all these years.

Hello, Ryan Show.

This is a good one past weekend hanging out with some friends in a hot tub and at one point we all kind of shut our mouths and opened our ears to a conversation happening in the hot tub right next to us.

Yes, let's just say the tea was hot.

We ever heard things like when I started dating her, she was addicted to coke for six months.

My sugar Mommy didn't pay for this, but maybe if I beg she will.

Yeah, we went to the fair on acid.

Do not recommend.

We couldn't believe, but we were hearing.

It was like Reality TV, but live and two feet away.

It got me wondering, have you ever overheard or eves dropped on a conversation that was so jaw dropping you still think about it to this day.

No darting or licking all right from Hannah, I have not.

I wish I had.

We did see a couple fighting on an airplane and she stormed off when the plane landed, she stormed off well ahead of him, while he was still back in the seat.

I saw a celebrity, a local celebrity, on a flight to Las Vegas, and she was scolding him for not eating and now he was hungry.

She's like, I told you to eat in the airport.

And this is a local celebrity that everybody knows.

And I would never embarrass them by saying who they were, But they're you know, may mean they got a quality of reputation, But this person that he was with had had it with him complaining that he was hungry.

So yeah, anything, Jenny.

Yeah, I was at a coffee shop recently in Uptown and I just remember this woman walking in on her phone and she like you could tell she was in like a heated conversation.

And what I gathered from it was she was talking to her mom about her dad and basically telling her mom that she can't allow her dad to treat her like that and that she deserves better.

And she was really talking about her dad, and so yeah, she had like no spatial awareness or like idea how loud her volume was because she was speaking very loudly.

So there's that.

But also when I went to the u of M, they used to have and maybe they still do, like.

Over heard on campus.

Oh yeah, having like a website that was like my scrolling on Instagram and TikTok back then.

I would always look and see if, like any crazy shit I said was like overheard on campus and see what people said.

That was such a good website.

I can't think of like specific moments, but working with high school students, I feel like I'm always kind of listening in on what the tea is even if I don't know who they're talking about, because listening to high schooler's gossip is way more fun than listening to adults gossip because sometimes the adult ones get kind of like salacious and like kind of dirty and grimy, but like the high school kids, they'll just be like, did you see that Lahiri's boyfriend didn't ask her to prompt stop it?

What?

Yeah?

No, truly, and.

It's just like so cute.

And I just always am a little fly on the wall and sometimes I go like, said, what she said?

What?

Then they're like, oh, Bailey's listening.

Oh she's cool.

Yeah.

I hopefully I'll hear some sometime soon.

Okay.

Last one, Kelly writes in says Dave Jenny Bailey vunt.

I was listening to KTWB this morning.

I heard the annoying top Dog law ad.

I cannot stand that ad and it comes on all the time.

I have to turn the sound down every time it comes on.

I was wondering if you guys have any ads or commercials that you cannot stand, or anyones that you particularly enjoy.

An old TV commercial that I really liked was the Daisy sour cream and they would sing do a doll up of daisy?

Do you remember that one?

Yeah?

Of course, yeah, thanks and keep up the great work entertaining us each day.

Thank you Kelly for listening certain commercials that I like that, some of the old spice, old commercials.

There have been great commercials.

Yeah, I'm on a horse that guy, that guy, Yes, that very good, Bailey.

I would say the eight eighty two five hundred Empire today.

That style of Jingles singing in that harmony is so fucking annoying.

Really, it's nineteen fifties, nineteen forties harmony that nobody does anymore.

It's like, bitch, what demographic are you trying to appeal to with nineteen forties harmony?

I feel like it's comforting, fucking awful.

I can't stand it, Jenny.

I always loved.

The Budweiser commercials with what was it the frogs or bull Why they're always super fun to me?

I don't know.

I nothing really sticks out.

Besides like the classic Jingles, I loved the Doublemint gum ones and you know kit Kat stuff like that.

Those are always I do like.

The flow from Progressive and because my favorite character is Jamie, the goofy looking shorter, redheaded guy because he's always so stupid and clueless.

But they're all kind of stupid and clueless, and I think that's such a unique way to market insurance.

The Lemu Emu commercials are fucking stupid.

I love those because I love a jingle like that, and that is a fun jingle.

And I just think, because I was listening to that, I don't know, something like a Limu emu something, and because we talked about maybe doing that for Halloween and dressing up as Limu Emu and Doug, and I was thinking, like, this is for an insurance company, but all I'm caring about is this emu and this dude with his like aviator sunglasses.

I have no idea what they have anything to do with insurance, but I.

Would company as afore even Liberty Mutual.

Ye see, I didn't even know that.

Yeah.

See, here's the one thing, and we'll wrap up with this because we get to take off here in a second.

I noticed, and I brought this up on the show three ish months ago.

Limu is the first two letters in liberty mutual.

Yeah, so Lee Liberty MoU mutual, limu.

And then they found an animal that rhymes with it, Yeah, Emu and Doug, I mean, and that somebody came up with that they were on acid, you know, they were on acid before they came up with that.

Yeah, but I just thought that was really kind of clever.

But I still the commercials are stupid.

Yeah.

I don't really watch a lot of commercials because I got streaming, so thankfully I don't have to.

Hah, all right, that's gonna do it.

What do you want to talk about on the Minnesota Goodbye?

We would love to hear from you.
