00:00:01
Speaker 1: All right, you're ready for the Minnesota Goodbye? Yeah, yay. Who wants to explain for new listeners what the Minnesota Goodbye is all about? Bailey?
00:00:10
Speaker 2: So the Minnesota Goodbye is an after the show podcast that we do where we get to talk about whatever it is that you would email us about. So you can email us thoughts, feelings, questions, comments, concerns, and we will read them on the Minnesota Goodbye and talk about them. So you are essentially the bread and butter, the backbone of the Minnesota Goodbye.
00:00:31
Speaker 1: For example, here's one from Ellie. I've been listening to the Dave Ryan Show since middle school. I want to say how much I enjoy listening Dave. I appreciate how you bring a voice of reason to the show. Jenny, you're an incredible person and so relatable for us millennials. Bailey, you have the kind of energy and kindness I wish I had more of growing up and vaunt. It's been fun hearing you grow and experience life on the show. Anyway, I started running casually late last fall, like many people in their thirties do. By cash, I mean light jogs of two to three miles at least once a week, sometimes twice, depending on the week. I usually go with my husband and our two kids, eight and two, and we trade off watching the kids at the park or an indoor field while the other goes for a run. Now that the weather's getting nicer, I'm thinking it would be best to do my longer runs on my own while my husband stays home with the kids. I am naturally anxious and introverted, so it feels like a bit of a challenge for me, but I know it's something I should try. Do you have any advice for running solo and staying safe while doing so? Thank you so much and love the show from Ellie Jenny, I'll throw that to you because you're the only one who's run solo.
00:01:37
Speaker 3: Yeah. As a woman, yeah, I would just say that, pay attention to the people that go past you, men or women. And then also for me, I clock like a car that slows down close to me, and like parks, and then I kind of clock what car that is if I can pay attention to the license plate, sure, just in case it were to approach me again, Because I do. I run like in Saint Louis Park, so there will be cars pulling over to just park and normally that's all that. That's probably one hundred percent of the time all that's happening. But as a female, I do pay attention to that. Obviously. If you're going running when it's getting darker, make sure you're wearing something with fluorescent clothing and something I reflective, Yeah, reflective, Sorry, that was the word I'm looking for. I would probably say not to go running when it's dark by yourself as a woman. However, I am guilty of doing it because I go in the same area that I feel safe doing.
00:02:33
Speaker 1: I think there's no highly traffic trails. And I don't know what part of town you live in, but the Excelsior Trail that goes from Excelsior all the way to Hopkins and then all the way from Excelsior all the way out past Victoria, that is a beautiful trail. It's highly trafficked. I've never seen a single creepy person. I've seen guy. And just because a guy's out walking alone he looks kind of creepy, He's ninety nine point nine percent of the time he's harmless. You know, you just kind of you know, you look for guys that look out a place, probably like wearing blue jeans, and but then again it's probably just you know, Josh, he's going for a walk and he's kind of lonely.
00:03:08
Speaker 2: Yeah, but if he's holding a crowbar, then you should be nervous.
00:03:12
Speaker 3: It is, yeah, and I would say definitely avoid trails at night. Be somewhere where there's traffic going past and there's people going past.
00:03:20
Speaker 1: So yeah, try to find a trail in your neighborhood and good luck, Katie writes in I want to know your thoughts on this. I'm used to saying I was lucky or fortunate throughout my life. Full right scholarship accepted in a nursing home without a nursing school that is, sorry, nursing school without application interviews, multiple opportunities at were, grad school, et cetera. But damn I've worked hard to get there and it didn't fall into lucky or fortunate. Is this feeling of not giving myself enough credit a female thing, a Minnesota humble thing, me thing, or what? Maybe it's because of in my thirties, I'm starting to care less about what people think and celebrate me anyway, trying to set an example for my kids at all, So challenge myself, all right from Katie, I never say I was lucky. Not luck did not play anything into my if you want to call it success or career. It was never lucky. Fortunate. Yes, I am fortunate to have worked for great radio stations, but never lucky. I did not get this job by luck. I did not keep this job for thirty three years by luck. Neither did you get accepted full right scholarship. So you are absolutely free to say I think I to find fortunate a little bit different. I'm fortunate to be healthy. I'm not necessarily lucky to be healthy.
00:04:35
Speaker 3: Yeah, or like blessed I'm hashtag.
00:04:37
Speaker 1: Glass blessed is another one. But no, I think that by admitting nay, you worked your ass off for that full ride scholarship, and you worked really hard for grad school, it is not lucky at all. And you can say that because a lot of people think, bit, it's not what you know, it's who you know, or you got lucky, or your mom did it for your nepo baby. No, you did it yourself, not lucky.
00:05:01
Speaker 3: I have such strong feelings about that. But I also used to be like you, where I would say I was lucky, but Dave was the one, I think the first person to ever say no, you're not lucky when I started advancing from being just like a part time assistant producer, and I was like, well, I'm lucky to have this job, and Dave's like, no, you're not. You've worked for this. But my thing that comes into play is I hate when people comment on when I'm on a trip and be like, you're so lucky you get to travel all these places. Okay, I work really hard for my money and I pretty much only spend money on travel, So I get frustrated hearing that, because, like, my lifestyle enables me to be able to travel because I do not go out to eat. I eat old food that's expired to save money on grocery right, So, like, there are things that I do in my life to be able to do the adventures that I do, and on top of it, I travel very frugally. So I do get frustrated when people say you're so lucky to have gone to all these places. You could probably do it too if you decided to spend your money on these specific things, because that's what I spend my money on. I don't spend it going to concerts, going to bars, going out to eat.
00:06:04
Speaker 1: I'm going to bring up a phrase that I've heard and I really like this one. Luck is when preparedness meets opportunity. Yeah, it's like and I really like that because if you find the opportunity and you're prepared, now you got lucky. Like when I got this job, I was prepared. I had done a morning show for like nine years successfully and then opportunity the job opened just when I was unemployed in Phoenix, and I was prepared and I had the opportunity. So if you're not prepared and you're waiting for your lucky break, you're fucked. Yeah, if u kk ed fux.
00:06:46
Speaker 2: I think the opportunity part is what you could consider like, oh it was lucky, that was a little bit sure, yeah, you know. But the preparedness, that's that's an all on you thing.
00:06:56
Speaker 1: All right, here we go with good morning friends. It's poop emoji Jess. See what I did. I gave myself a memorable name. Have we heard of this person before poopamoji?
00:07:05
Speaker 3: Jess probably heard of Jess. Yeah, but they threw.
00:07:08
Speaker 2: In the poop emoji.
00:07:09
Speaker 1: I thought of it because I gave Jenny a poop Emoji at her and Fallon's podcast.
00:07:13
Speaker 3: Oh yes, hi, Jess. She I met her I think the Home and Garden Show and she had gotten some poop emoji like squishy toy things she gave me. I really appreciated it. Thanks, Jess.
00:07:24
Speaker 1: I thought of this question. I know Bailey has talked about working at Disney and the school, Jenny has talked about Bubba Gumps. However, I was surprised this morning when Jenny said she used to work at Canterbury. So my question is what other job have you had prior to doing radio or while still doing radio. Hope you had a great day, no rush eating this reading this email that's from poop Emoji Jess. I worked at a I sold hot dogs at Air Force football games. It was it was it was great. It's, you know, your fifteen year old job. My dad used to have to drive me to this. Then I worked as a dishwasher at a place called Sambo's, which is just like a Denny's, and I hated it. It was the hardest I've ever worked. There was always something to do, and I was raised with a good work ethics. So I came home exhausted because I worked like from midnight to eight, like five days a week. It's terrible. Wow, yours? What was Oh?
00:08:21
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm all over the place. I mean I have been a paper girl. I worked at Pigley Wiggly. I was also a bus girl and I kind of same as you. That was like a very hard job, Like I was so tired after working. I worked at Upcums Straight Dog as a server as well. I was on an interactive hype squad called the Action Pack for the Minnesota Timberwolves for many years. I also subbed in as an in arena host a couple times for the Wolves. I what am I missing?
00:08:51
Speaker 2: Oh?
00:08:51
Speaker 3: My first like real radio job outside of interning for you guys was I worked on the real estate radio talk show that's on WCCO on Saturdays. I was there everything. I was their sales, their promotions, their event, their producer, all of the things. And it was just like a one hour real estate talk show.
00:09:06
Speaker 1: I don't think they knew that.
00:09:08
Speaker 3: Yep, Canterbury and then I'm sure I was like I worked for me Minneapolis as an intern, a PR intern for a while.
00:09:16
Speaker 1: I job hoper geez luise.
00:09:19
Speaker 3: Okay, I beg you for ten years now I had to job hop because nobody could ever hire me for a full time position. Almost all of those positions were part time jobs that eventually I had to like get another. But I for most of my twenties, and I think Bailey did this too, I had at least two jobs, if not three jobs, for almost my entire twenties.
00:09:39
Speaker 2: Yes, so I worked at the office that my mom worked at. I did clerical work. I worked at a liquor store that was like my first retail job. I was a resident assistant and a tutor in college, and I did night security in college as well. And then I moved to Disney I did. I worked for Disney. I came back. I worked for the Minnesota History Racle Society at the Oliver Kelly Farm at Mill City Museum as well. And then I got a job for the Hennepin Theater Trust, and I was a box office manager for Yellow Tree Theater. And then I went back to the Minnesota Historical Society for their History Day like nonprofit education sector thing, and yeah, Disney Store. I worked at the Disney Store for like seven over here exact same time, and the Renaissance.
00:10:25
Speaker 3: Festific Bay when I'd come from an era where we had to have multiple jobs, so a four anything. We weren't just like paid an okay, livable wage right off of the.
00:10:32
Speaker 1: Bat Oh debate.
00:10:34
Speaker 3: I did speech in debate for twelve years.
00:10:35
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, you were lucky. You were lucky.
00:10:38
Speaker 2: I didn't have to work like Jenni nos Is off also too, but I would have to. I would maybe get like one day off every month. Maybe I'd work like every single day and make thirty thousand dollars a year and that's it. It was rough in my twenties.
00:10:51
Speaker 3: Yeah, but good times.
00:10:52
Speaker 1: Okay. Uh. Fun fact Carson is now working for one of the Beastie Boys. Wow, I don't know. I don't know the Beastie Boys like Mike D or Chuck B or something like that. But one of the BC boys died and the other two are like, you know, still performing, but one of them is going out on tour. So Carson is now He's reserved the rehearsal hall. He accepts all the equipment. So when they bring over Mike's and guitars and stands and spotlights and all that stuff, Carson's got a sign for everything. Make sure everybody shows up on time. Knows the schedule, make sure the engineer is there, make sure the sound guy is there, the lighting guy is there, and then sends out for tacos for lunch. So Carson is now the supervisor of one of the Beastie Boys tours.
00:11:31
Speaker 3: Okay, that is actually probably my favorite job he's held so far. Then, because I love the Beastie Boys. Yeah, I've got a bunch of their music on like workout playlist named the.
00:11:39
Speaker 1: Beastie Boys, because.
00:11:40
Speaker 3: I I mean, you probably if you don't know them, you probably only go ahead the name. Yeah, Okay, well I actually don't know their names. See, we've got Adam ad Rock or it's not him, Adam m c a Yauch and Michael Mike D Diamond Mike D.
00:11:57
Speaker 1: Yeah, person working for Mike D. Is that cool?
00:12:01
Speaker 3: How neat? I that is super cool? I just I'll the one of my favorite things ever in a song is when they're like, no, mom, it's just a boot Stute boys, and it goes between like three voices and beast steep boy but yeah, and I'm like, oh, that's like one of my favorite musical moments.
00:12:18
Speaker 1: Well, I'll go back to Carson is not lucky. He is fortunate and blessed. But Carson works his ass off and he makes sure to show up on time and do everything right and take responsibility for all the things. And so that's why he keeps getting hired to do these acts.
00:12:36
Speaker 3: Yeah.
00:12:37
Speaker 1: So, and soon he's done them with that, he's going out with Clinton Kane on another tour in Europe. Then he comes back and he does another act that I mentioned to Chase last night, and Chase is like, really, And I can't remember what the act was, but Chase is like, they're so cool. I was listening to him this morning. Dang it, I never heard of him.
00:12:55
Speaker 3: Is Carson a writer by chance?
00:12:57
Speaker 1: Writer?
00:12:58
Speaker 3: Like he'd write a book? No, man, I just feel like he's got to be collecting some stories on these tours that, you know what's so interesting?
00:13:07
Speaker 1: Funny Jenny as we ask him for stories and he's like, oh, went good, that's fine. And I guess no stories is kind of a good one. I think one of my favorite stories, and I hope I'm not telling tales out of school, is that David Kushner loves Carson. That was the guy who said running in the daylight. In the daylight, that guy he is Carson and him love each other. And so David got sick, like somewhere in Brussels or somewhere, and he could only bring one person back to the doctor to help, you know, communicate with a doctor. Yeah, And so David chose Carson to go back, and I just thought that was so cool. I'm just picturing David Kushner International, pretty big star and Carson from chan Hassen High School sitting there in the doctor's I just think that's so cool. But he's worked hard. Next one, Hey, guys, listening to Jenny and Fallon's podcast, you're talking about different brands of cottage based on what ingredients are in them. Reminded me. I've been wanting to tell you guys about an app called Yuka y Uka. Anybody know this.
00:14:08
Speaker 3: I want to say that I have that. Yes I do.
00:14:12
Speaker 1: I've been using it for years. It's amazing. I tell everybody you know about it because it's changed my life, and everyone says it changes theirs after using it one time, you scan bar codes to food or beauty products and it does all the research for you. It rates it on a scale of zero to one hundred on how good it is for you. Breaks down ingredients, tells you what everything is if there are cancer risks. It links the studies. It tells you how much sodium, protein, sugar, everything, so you don't have to stare at every label trying to figure out which brand of peanut butter is better. It recommends better options. When you can scan something like Dorito's, you can look up items if you don't have the bar code.
00:14:48
Speaker 3: Nice.
00:14:48
Speaker 1: They also have a category section if you want to see the top rated ice cream, so you don't scan a bunch of shit. Oh she said stuff, I said shit. Sorry. The best part it's free. I don a do donate ten dollars a year because they absolutely deserve it, and it's a very small price to pay for all the time I saved looking at labels. Anyway, if you guys don't have it, get it, love Cessine.
00:15:11
Speaker 3: I do have it, and I've had it on What's on my Radar before, so hopefully we've influenced people to get it.
00:15:16
Speaker 1: All right, continuing on with the Minnesota Goodbye, let's see what our next one is all about. As I mouse over them emails here and this one is, Hey, y'all, a thought on AI. Do you think AI will lead to less people on social media. All the fake AI content is clogging up my social media feed to the point Facebook and Instagram doesn't bring joy anymore. I find myself using social media less and less because I can't trust that anything I see is real. So many ads and scams and everything is out there for clicks. It makes me wonder if people won't return to live in life in the present, with their surroundings and people versus and people versus dedicating hours a day into what they're seeing on social media. Wouldn't it be wonderful to disconnect more from devices? Or are we too addicted and it ain't happening? Make it a great day From Katie Jenny any thoughts.
00:16:16
Speaker 3: I don't know if anything, it's going to cause more people to be on because they'll be like, oh, I can post a bunch of AI shit, and then they're going to just like add to the social media trend. I don't know, but I am on your side of There are certain things that I've seen that I'm like, Ugh, this is so annoying, and now I don't trust anything I see because I'll look at the comments and people are like this is AI, and I'm like God, I didn't think it was.
00:16:40
Speaker 1: I've fallen for you a couple of times too, it's like, oh wow, that's really cool. There is I've showed you guys before. Without getting into details, it's an RV and camping site. And AI posts on this RV and camping site a fake woman who is dying of some sort of cancer that is like traveled to her liver and she's only got six months to live. She's going out on an RV tour rather than spend her life in a waiting room. And it's fake because you know, you look at the outside of the camper, it doesn't match the inside of the camper. And and I think it's just trying to get people to linger on that Facebook page so they get more likes and more engagement. But there's one she's right about, like awful ads and crap on Facebook. I ordered a Root sixty six. You know what Route sixty six is, Yeah, okay. It is the one hundredth anniversary of Route sixty six, which is the road that went from Chicago all the way to Santa Monica, California. And they call it the Mother Road because back in the twenties thirties, forties whatever. That's what everybody traveled. It was the only main paved highway all the way across the country, and it's really cool. So I ordered a book about traveling on Route sixty six and it wasn't a book, it was a download. I paid ninety seven dollars for what I thought was a book, and I get in my email it says, okay, download your Root sixty six book guide here, and I'm like, fuck, are you serious? I don't want And it was a shitty download, overpriced for ninety seven dollars.
00:18:16
Speaker 3: That's crazy. Nothing should be charged that much if you were just downloading it. That's fucking insane.
00:18:21
Speaker 1: I wrote to him and I said I am not going. I said I want a full refund, and they said, well, we'll offer you a partial refund. And I wrote back and I said your ad is misleading, possibly illegal, and that got their attention and they said, okay, rather than debate this back and forth, we'll give you a refund of everything except for this. And I'm like, all right. I mean, I'm probably gonna lose twenty five bucks, but still, yeah, just the shit that you order on Facebook or Instagram, it is nine times out of ten. It's just garbage.
00:18:53
Speaker 3: The thing that almost got me the other day is because as a woman, we always end up buying too much shit before a trip because we feel like we need a new word. So I'm getting ads for clothes that are like Bali kind of vibes, and I'm on this website and I picked out like a few outfits that were so cute, and there were deals going on when you put the discount code in, and I'm about to check out, even though I don't really know this brand at all, and I go and it's like, oh, return policy, Well, if you don't read it clearly, yes they have a return policy that's free, but it's only for store credit and it's very much into the return policy that you see it. And I was like, I don't even fuck know this brand. I don't know where I'm getting store credit from this right, So I ended up canceling the like fifty no probably thirty minutes. I ended up looking at clothes and putting them in my cart, and then I never bought any of it because I was like, no, I don't I don't know this brand. I'm not going to buy from it. And then like have to use store credit if.
00:19:45
Speaker 1: Nothing works, right, Yeah, well there's a thought starter. Tell us what you ordered on Facebook or Instagram. Did you like it? I would say probably at least half the things that I've ordered on either of those two has been disappointing. Last one we're gonna have time for the other day. Somebody wrote it and they wanted to get their mama's psychic reading for Mother's Day and we only got one response, but I'll pass it along anyway. It's from Britt. This is for the person asking for a reliable psychic. I'll put the link to her website. Her name is Letha. She does not do taro mediumship or birth charts. Okay, maybe she means she does Taro mediumship and birth charts because it's weird to say what she doesn't do. But she is a to http s colon slash slash Letha l I t H A dot TV slash pound sign home. I'll read it to you again http s colon slash slash l I t h a dot TV slash pound sign dot home and that is your Minnesota. Goodbye. We have to leave now. It's kind of sad. We'll see you back here tomorrow with more of your emails and those into Ryan Show at KDWB dot com. Thanks for listening.
00:21:06
Speaker 2: Mm hmm
Speaker 1: All right, you're ready for the Minnesota Goodbye? Yeah, yay. Who wants to explain for new listeners what the Minnesota Goodbye is all about? Bailey?
00:00:10
Speaker 2: So the Minnesota Goodbye is an after the show podcast that we do where we get to talk about whatever it is that you would email us about. So you can email us thoughts, feelings, questions, comments, concerns, and we will read them on the Minnesota Goodbye and talk about them. So you are essentially the bread and butter, the backbone of the Minnesota Goodbye.
00:00:31
Speaker 1: For example, here's one from Ellie. I've been listening to the Dave Ryan Show since middle school. I want to say how much I enjoy listening Dave. I appreciate how you bring a voice of reason to the show. Jenny, you're an incredible person and so relatable for us millennials. Bailey, you have the kind of energy and kindness I wish I had more of growing up and vaunt. It's been fun hearing you grow and experience life on the show. Anyway, I started running casually late last fall, like many people in their thirties do. By cash, I mean light jogs of two to three miles at least once a week, sometimes twice, depending on the week. I usually go with my husband and our two kids, eight and two, and we trade off watching the kids at the park or an indoor field while the other goes for a run. Now that the weather's getting nicer, I'm thinking it would be best to do my longer runs on my own while my husband stays home with the kids. I am naturally anxious and introverted, so it feels like a bit of a challenge for me, but I know it's something I should try. Do you have any advice for running solo and staying safe while doing so? Thank you so much and love the show from Ellie Jenny, I'll throw that to you because you're the only one who's run solo.
00:01:37
Speaker 3: Yeah. As a woman, yeah, I would just say that, pay attention to the people that go past you, men or women. And then also for me, I clock like a car that slows down close to me, and like parks, and then I kind of clock what car that is if I can pay attention to the license plate, sure, just in case it were to approach me again, Because I do. I run like in Saint Louis Park, so there will be cars pulling over to just park and normally that's all that. That's probably one hundred percent of the time all that's happening. But as a female, I do pay attention to that. Obviously. If you're going running when it's getting darker, make sure you're wearing something with fluorescent clothing and something I reflective, Yeah, reflective, Sorry, that was the word I'm looking for. I would probably say not to go running when it's dark by yourself as a woman. However, I am guilty of doing it because I go in the same area that I feel safe doing.
00:02:33
Speaker 1: I think there's no highly traffic trails. And I don't know what part of town you live in, but the Excelsior Trail that goes from Excelsior all the way to Hopkins and then all the way from Excelsior all the way out past Victoria, that is a beautiful trail. It's highly trafficked. I've never seen a single creepy person. I've seen guy. And just because a guy's out walking alone he looks kind of creepy, He's ninety nine point nine percent of the time he's harmless. You know, you just kind of you know, you look for guys that look out a place, probably like wearing blue jeans, and but then again it's probably just you know, Josh, he's going for a walk and he's kind of lonely.
00:03:08
Speaker 2: Yeah, but if he's holding a crowbar, then you should be nervous.
00:03:12
Speaker 3: It is, yeah, and I would say definitely avoid trails at night. Be somewhere where there's traffic going past and there's people going past.
00:03:20
Speaker 1: So yeah, try to find a trail in your neighborhood and good luck, Katie writes in I want to know your thoughts on this. I'm used to saying I was lucky or fortunate throughout my life. Full right scholarship accepted in a nursing home without a nursing school that is, sorry, nursing school without application interviews, multiple opportunities at were, grad school, et cetera. But damn I've worked hard to get there and it didn't fall into lucky or fortunate. Is this feeling of not giving myself enough credit a female thing, a Minnesota humble thing, me thing, or what? Maybe it's because of in my thirties, I'm starting to care less about what people think and celebrate me anyway, trying to set an example for my kids at all, So challenge myself, all right from Katie, I never say I was lucky. Not luck did not play anything into my if you want to call it success or career. It was never lucky. Fortunate. Yes, I am fortunate to have worked for great radio stations, but never lucky. I did not get this job by luck. I did not keep this job for thirty three years by luck. Neither did you get accepted full right scholarship. So you are absolutely free to say I think I to find fortunate a little bit different. I'm fortunate to be healthy. I'm not necessarily lucky to be healthy.
00:04:35
Speaker 3: Yeah, or like blessed I'm hashtag.
00:04:37
Speaker 1: Glass blessed is another one. But no, I think that by admitting nay, you worked your ass off for that full ride scholarship, and you worked really hard for grad school, it is not lucky at all. And you can say that because a lot of people think, bit, it's not what you know, it's who you know, or you got lucky, or your mom did it for your nepo baby. No, you did it yourself, not lucky.
00:05:01
Speaker 3: I have such strong feelings about that. But I also used to be like you, where I would say I was lucky, but Dave was the one, I think the first person to ever say no, you're not lucky when I started advancing from being just like a part time assistant producer, and I was like, well, I'm lucky to have this job, and Dave's like, no, you're not. You've worked for this. But my thing that comes into play is I hate when people comment on when I'm on a trip and be like, you're so lucky you get to travel all these places. Okay, I work really hard for my money and I pretty much only spend money on travel, So I get frustrated hearing that, because, like, my lifestyle enables me to be able to travel because I do not go out to eat. I eat old food that's expired to save money on grocery right, So, like, there are things that I do in my life to be able to do the adventures that I do, and on top of it, I travel very frugally. So I do get frustrated when people say you're so lucky to have gone to all these places. You could probably do it too if you decided to spend your money on these specific things, because that's what I spend my money on. I don't spend it going to concerts, going to bars, going out to eat.
00:06:04
Speaker 1: I'm going to bring up a phrase that I've heard and I really like this one. Luck is when preparedness meets opportunity. Yeah, it's like and I really like that because if you find the opportunity and you're prepared, now you got lucky. Like when I got this job, I was prepared. I had done a morning show for like nine years successfully and then opportunity the job opened just when I was unemployed in Phoenix, and I was prepared and I had the opportunity. So if you're not prepared and you're waiting for your lucky break, you're fucked. Yeah, if u kk ed fux.
00:06:46
Speaker 2: I think the opportunity part is what you could consider like, oh it was lucky, that was a little bit sure, yeah, you know. But the preparedness, that's that's an all on you thing.
00:06:56
Speaker 1: All right, here we go with good morning friends. It's poop emoji Jess. See what I did. I gave myself a memorable name. Have we heard of this person before poopamoji?
00:07:05
Speaker 3: Jess probably heard of Jess. Yeah, but they threw.
00:07:08
Speaker 2: In the poop emoji.
00:07:09
Speaker 1: I thought of it because I gave Jenny a poop Emoji at her and Fallon's podcast.
00:07:13
Speaker 3: Oh yes, hi, Jess. She I met her I think the Home and Garden Show and she had gotten some poop emoji like squishy toy things she gave me. I really appreciated it. Thanks, Jess.
00:07:24
Speaker 1: I thought of this question. I know Bailey has talked about working at Disney and the school, Jenny has talked about Bubba Gumps. However, I was surprised this morning when Jenny said she used to work at Canterbury. So my question is what other job have you had prior to doing radio or while still doing radio. Hope you had a great day, no rush eating this reading this email that's from poop Emoji Jess. I worked at a I sold hot dogs at Air Force football games. It was it was it was great. It's, you know, your fifteen year old job. My dad used to have to drive me to this. Then I worked as a dishwasher at a place called Sambo's, which is just like a Denny's, and I hated it. It was the hardest I've ever worked. There was always something to do, and I was raised with a good work ethics. So I came home exhausted because I worked like from midnight to eight, like five days a week. It's terrible. Wow, yours? What was Oh?
00:08:21
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm all over the place. I mean I have been a paper girl. I worked at Pigley Wiggly. I was also a bus girl and I kind of same as you. That was like a very hard job, Like I was so tired after working. I worked at Upcums Straight Dog as a server as well. I was on an interactive hype squad called the Action Pack for the Minnesota Timberwolves for many years. I also subbed in as an in arena host a couple times for the Wolves. I what am I missing?
00:08:51
Speaker 2: Oh?
00:08:51
Speaker 3: My first like real radio job outside of interning for you guys was I worked on the real estate radio talk show that's on WCCO on Saturdays. I was there everything. I was their sales, their promotions, their event, their producer, all of the things. And it was just like a one hour real estate talk show.
00:09:06
Speaker 1: I don't think they knew that.
00:09:08
Speaker 3: Yep, Canterbury and then I'm sure I was like I worked for me Minneapolis as an intern, a PR intern for a while.
00:09:16
Speaker 1: I job hoper geez luise.
00:09:19
Speaker 3: Okay, I beg you for ten years now I had to job hop because nobody could ever hire me for a full time position. Almost all of those positions were part time jobs that eventually I had to like get another. But I for most of my twenties, and I think Bailey did this too, I had at least two jobs, if not three jobs, for almost my entire twenties.
00:09:39
Speaker 2: Yes, so I worked at the office that my mom worked at. I did clerical work. I worked at a liquor store that was like my first retail job. I was a resident assistant and a tutor in college, and I did night security in college as well. And then I moved to Disney I did. I worked for Disney. I came back. I worked for the Minnesota History Racle Society at the Oliver Kelly Farm at Mill City Museum as well. And then I got a job for the Hennepin Theater Trust, and I was a box office manager for Yellow Tree Theater. And then I went back to the Minnesota Historical Society for their History Day like nonprofit education sector thing, and yeah, Disney Store. I worked at the Disney Store for like seven over here exact same time, and the Renaissance.
00:10:25
Speaker 3: Festific Bay when I'd come from an era where we had to have multiple jobs, so a four anything. We weren't just like paid an okay, livable wage right off of the.
00:10:32
Speaker 1: Bat Oh debate.
00:10:34
Speaker 3: I did speech in debate for twelve years.
00:10:35
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, you were lucky. You were lucky.
00:10:38
Speaker 2: I didn't have to work like Jenni nos Is off also too, but I would have to. I would maybe get like one day off every month. Maybe I'd work like every single day and make thirty thousand dollars a year and that's it. It was rough in my twenties.
00:10:51
Speaker 3: Yeah, but good times.
00:10:52
Speaker 1: Okay. Uh. Fun fact Carson is now working for one of the Beastie Boys. Wow, I don't know. I don't know the Beastie Boys like Mike D or Chuck B or something like that. But one of the BC boys died and the other two are like, you know, still performing, but one of them is going out on tour. So Carson is now He's reserved the rehearsal hall. He accepts all the equipment. So when they bring over Mike's and guitars and stands and spotlights and all that stuff, Carson's got a sign for everything. Make sure everybody shows up on time. Knows the schedule, make sure the engineer is there, make sure the sound guy is there, the lighting guy is there, and then sends out for tacos for lunch. So Carson is now the supervisor of one of the Beastie Boys tours.
00:11:31
Speaker 3: Okay, that is actually probably my favorite job he's held so far. Then, because I love the Beastie Boys. Yeah, I've got a bunch of their music on like workout playlist named the.
00:11:39
Speaker 1: Beastie Boys, because.
00:11:40
Speaker 3: I I mean, you probably if you don't know them, you probably only go ahead the name. Yeah, Okay, well I actually don't know their names. See, we've got Adam ad Rock or it's not him, Adam m c a Yauch and Michael Mike D Diamond Mike D.
00:11:57
Speaker 1: Yeah, person working for Mike D. Is that cool?
00:12:01
Speaker 3: How neat? I that is super cool? I just I'll the one of my favorite things ever in a song is when they're like, no, mom, it's just a boot Stute boys, and it goes between like three voices and beast steep boy but yeah, and I'm like, oh, that's like one of my favorite musical moments.
00:12:18
Speaker 1: Well, I'll go back to Carson is not lucky. He is fortunate and blessed. But Carson works his ass off and he makes sure to show up on time and do everything right and take responsibility for all the things. And so that's why he keeps getting hired to do these acts.
00:12:36
Speaker 3: Yeah.
00:12:37
Speaker 1: So, and soon he's done them with that, he's going out with Clinton Kane on another tour in Europe. Then he comes back and he does another act that I mentioned to Chase last night, and Chase is like, really, And I can't remember what the act was, but Chase is like, they're so cool. I was listening to him this morning. Dang it, I never heard of him.
00:12:55
Speaker 3: Is Carson a writer by chance?
00:12:57
Speaker 1: Writer?
00:12:58
Speaker 3: Like he'd write a book? No, man, I just feel like he's got to be collecting some stories on these tours that, you know what's so interesting?
00:13:07
Speaker 1: Funny Jenny as we ask him for stories and he's like, oh, went good, that's fine. And I guess no stories is kind of a good one. I think one of my favorite stories, and I hope I'm not telling tales out of school, is that David Kushner loves Carson. That was the guy who said running in the daylight. In the daylight, that guy he is Carson and him love each other. And so David got sick, like somewhere in Brussels or somewhere, and he could only bring one person back to the doctor to help, you know, communicate with a doctor. Yeah, And so David chose Carson to go back, and I just thought that was so cool. I'm just picturing David Kushner International, pretty big star and Carson from chan Hassen High School sitting there in the doctor's I just think that's so cool. But he's worked hard. Next one, Hey, guys, listening to Jenny and Fallon's podcast, you're talking about different brands of cottage based on what ingredients are in them. Reminded me. I've been wanting to tell you guys about an app called Yuka y Uka. Anybody know this.
00:14:08
Speaker 3: I want to say that I have that. Yes I do.
00:14:12
Speaker 1: I've been using it for years. It's amazing. I tell everybody you know about it because it's changed my life, and everyone says it changes theirs after using it one time, you scan bar codes to food or beauty products and it does all the research for you. It rates it on a scale of zero to one hundred on how good it is for you. Breaks down ingredients, tells you what everything is if there are cancer risks. It links the studies. It tells you how much sodium, protein, sugar, everything, so you don't have to stare at every label trying to figure out which brand of peanut butter is better. It recommends better options. When you can scan something like Dorito's, you can look up items if you don't have the bar code.
00:14:48
Speaker 3: Nice.
00:14:48
Speaker 1: They also have a category section if you want to see the top rated ice cream, so you don't scan a bunch of shit. Oh she said stuff, I said shit. Sorry. The best part it's free. I don a do donate ten dollars a year because they absolutely deserve it, and it's a very small price to pay for all the time I saved looking at labels. Anyway, if you guys don't have it, get it, love Cessine.
00:15:11
Speaker 3: I do have it, and I've had it on What's on my Radar before, so hopefully we've influenced people to get it.
00:15:16
Speaker 1: All right, continuing on with the Minnesota Goodbye, let's see what our next one is all about. As I mouse over them emails here and this one is, Hey, y'all, a thought on AI. Do you think AI will lead to less people on social media. All the fake AI content is clogging up my social media feed to the point Facebook and Instagram doesn't bring joy anymore. I find myself using social media less and less because I can't trust that anything I see is real. So many ads and scams and everything is out there for clicks. It makes me wonder if people won't return to live in life in the present, with their surroundings and people versus and people versus dedicating hours a day into what they're seeing on social media. Wouldn't it be wonderful to disconnect more from devices? Or are we too addicted and it ain't happening? Make it a great day From Katie Jenny any thoughts.
00:16:16
Speaker 3: I don't know if anything, it's going to cause more people to be on because they'll be like, oh, I can post a bunch of AI shit, and then they're going to just like add to the social media trend. I don't know, but I am on your side of There are certain things that I've seen that I'm like, Ugh, this is so annoying, and now I don't trust anything I see because I'll look at the comments and people are like this is AI, and I'm like God, I didn't think it was.
00:16:40
Speaker 1: I've fallen for you a couple of times too, it's like, oh wow, that's really cool. There is I've showed you guys before. Without getting into details, it's an RV and camping site. And AI posts on this RV and camping site a fake woman who is dying of some sort of cancer that is like traveled to her liver and she's only got six months to live. She's going out on an RV tour rather than spend her life in a waiting room. And it's fake because you know, you look at the outside of the camper, it doesn't match the inside of the camper. And and I think it's just trying to get people to linger on that Facebook page so they get more likes and more engagement. But there's one she's right about, like awful ads and crap on Facebook. I ordered a Root sixty six. You know what Route sixty six is, Yeah, okay. It is the one hundredth anniversary of Route sixty six, which is the road that went from Chicago all the way to Santa Monica, California. And they call it the Mother Road because back in the twenties thirties, forties whatever. That's what everybody traveled. It was the only main paved highway all the way across the country, and it's really cool. So I ordered a book about traveling on Route sixty six and it wasn't a book, it was a download. I paid ninety seven dollars for what I thought was a book, and I get in my email it says, okay, download your Root sixty six book guide here, and I'm like, fuck, are you serious? I don't want And it was a shitty download, overpriced for ninety seven dollars.
00:18:16
Speaker 3: That's crazy. Nothing should be charged that much if you were just downloading it. That's fucking insane.
00:18:21
Speaker 1: I wrote to him and I said I am not going. I said I want a full refund, and they said, well, we'll offer you a partial refund. And I wrote back and I said your ad is misleading, possibly illegal, and that got their attention and they said, okay, rather than debate this back and forth, we'll give you a refund of everything except for this. And I'm like, all right. I mean, I'm probably gonna lose twenty five bucks, but still, yeah, just the shit that you order on Facebook or Instagram, it is nine times out of ten. It's just garbage.
00:18:53
Speaker 3: The thing that almost got me the other day is because as a woman, we always end up buying too much shit before a trip because we feel like we need a new word. So I'm getting ads for clothes that are like Bali kind of vibes, and I'm on this website and I picked out like a few outfits that were so cute, and there were deals going on when you put the discount code in, and I'm about to check out, even though I don't really know this brand at all, and I go and it's like, oh, return policy, Well, if you don't read it clearly, yes they have a return policy that's free, but it's only for store credit and it's very much into the return policy that you see it. And I was like, I don't even fuck know this brand. I don't know where I'm getting store credit from this right, So I ended up canceling the like fifty no probably thirty minutes. I ended up looking at clothes and putting them in my cart, and then I never bought any of it because I was like, no, I don't I don't know this brand. I'm not going to buy from it. And then like have to use store credit if.
00:19:45
Speaker 1: Nothing works, right, Yeah, well there's a thought starter. Tell us what you ordered on Facebook or Instagram. Did you like it? I would say probably at least half the things that I've ordered on either of those two has been disappointing. Last one we're gonna have time for the other day. Somebody wrote it and they wanted to get their mama's psychic reading for Mother's Day and we only got one response, but I'll pass it along anyway. It's from Britt. This is for the person asking for a reliable psychic. I'll put the link to her website. Her name is Letha. She does not do taro mediumship or birth charts. Okay, maybe she means she does Taro mediumship and birth charts because it's weird to say what she doesn't do. But she is a to http s colon slash slash Letha l I t H A dot TV slash pound sign home. I'll read it to you again http s colon slash slash l I t h a dot TV slash pound sign dot home and that is your Minnesota. Goodbye. We have to leave now. It's kind of sad. We'll see you back here tomorrow with more of your emails and those into Ryan Show at KDWB dot com. Thanks for listening.
00:21:06
Speaker 2: Mm hmm
