00:00:01
Speaker 1: You know, it's so weird. We barely have time to do the Minnesota Goodbye because there's so much going on this week with planning the big show coming up at Mall of America and what are we going to do tomorrow? And you know, we're down to like four more days of me so we barely have time to do the Minnesota Goodbye. Yeah, and you know what else I don't have time for? And this sounds so arrogant and pissy. Phone calls, Yeah, phone calls. Chrisco just called me. Oh, I don't have time to take his phone call. You know who called me over the weekend? Brentley called me over the weekend.
00:00:35
Speaker 2: I saw that you said.
00:00:36
Speaker 1: That Brentley called me. He was my friend for thirty thirty five maybe forty years, and we had a falling out about four years ago, three years ago. Haven't spoken to him since he heard I was retiring. He called. Brentley is the old man who will not text textings for teenage girls. He says, I'm like, no, texting is the way we live our life in twenty twenty six, I don't tax TI call be an adult and day so he called me, and I have not had time to call him back. Bobby Wilde used to work at the radio station. I haven't had time to call him back Allan my friend, a radio friend in Seattle, she called, I don't have time to call her back. I don't have right now. I don't have time for any phone calls. Yeah, because I'm so busy.
00:01:22
Speaker 3: You know what you will have in a week, Yeah, time for phone calls.
00:01:25
Speaker 1: You know what, Jenny, that it absolutely occurs to me that everything and all the attention and all the like, you know, the phone calls and text messages, they will go away before I know it. I mean middle of next week, it'll all be over, and the text messages and the phone calls will all be done. And I'm not complaining about them. I'm just complaining that I don't have time for them. Does that make any sense?
00:01:49
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're a complaining because you wish you did have time for them, but you don't, so you can't get back to them.
00:01:53
Speaker 1: Today, I'm meeting with Jostin's, you know about the class ring.
00:01:56
Speaker 3: Oh finally, bank goodness, I heard a little bit of the ode of you guys talking, and I kept hearing the Jostin's because I know you're trying to lighten the mood. So I kept hearing about that, and I'm happy because I'll be honest, I think someone DMed me and I got lost in my DMS when I was in Bali, so I didn't I hadn't responded to them.
00:02:13
Speaker 1: I got a meeting with the Jostin's vice president of something today, yeah, at twelve thirty. After that, I got to go get my real ID. So I got to go wait in line at the chan Hassen Driver's license bureau.
00:02:25
Speaker 2: Why do you need your real ID? Just happened.
00:02:27
Speaker 1: It's about to expire, I think, or something so and I had to cancel it last week or two weeks ago because I was busy. So again, it's just one of those things where I'm definitely appreciative of all the phone calls and text messages, especially because I know it's like on your birthday. It's like, oh, I'm getting so many text messages on my birthday. Well guess what, your friends and family will ignore you again starting tomorrow.
00:02:52
Speaker 2: So do you think you are going to call Brentley back? I don't know, I don't know, I don't know I would, I don't.
00:02:59
Speaker 3: Know, But if he's changed you're gonna want friends in retirement, and we know you. I mean, I don't know if you two have anything in common anymore, because it sounds like he's still this like almost cover old f boy, and that's same to me.
00:03:14
Speaker 1: But I don't know. It's like I love him, but I don't know. I don't really want to talk about it because I don't want there's just yeah, next thing or first thing. Here we go emails. This came in this morning from Megan. She says, first time writer here. I knew I needed to finally write in before you are no longer on the air. You may not know it, but you've been a constant in my life for thirty years. You see me through elementary school, middle school, high school, and college. You were there through marriage, the birth of both of my kids, and eventually divorce. I hear that a lot. Somebody will say I met you at the State Fair and I was with a guy who did all the talking and I am not with him anymore. Or you did my wedding, you married me and my husband and we are no longer may so you know it's part of life.
00:04:01
Speaker 2: I guess.
00:04:05
Speaker 1: Through every season of life, your voice was always there morning commute drive home from work, and on the hard days and even the harder ones, there were so many warnings when hearing your voice on the radio was the one thing that got me out of bed. You made me laugh till I cried, sometimes more than I count, and your advice and outlock on life help me through situations in which you'll probably never realize. Even now, I still catch myself thinking, what would Dave do? Wow To say you'll be missed as an understatement, there are real tears and a real ache in my heart knowing your final days on air are here. For thirty three years, you've been the dad, friend and comforting constant for so many of us into Twin Cities, and nobody will be able to replace that. Thank you for every laugh, every story, every bit of advice, and every morning you've showed up for all of us. You became part of people's lives in a way that very few ever do. Enjoy your retirement. You have more than earned it, and it will be and you will be deeply missed. Love you, Megan, And she wants a staff Rider sticker, so we'll take a picture offree still have them? She does, And I think free is going to come in and say hi one day this week. Nice, So let me send that to her. Okay, Bailey stall for me for a minute.
00:05:16
Speaker 2: Oh gosh, Well, I got the paperwork for my house. Sorry, that's the only thing that is on my brain right now because I'm stressed out about it.
00:05:23
Speaker 3: You were saying you're stressed out about it, and I just want to say, I didn't read a single thing of mine.
00:05:28
Speaker 2: Yeah, don't be that straight. People have said as well. So that's what I'm doing when I go home, is continuing to read through the paperwork.
00:05:35
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I think that's true. It's kind of like when you go I went skydiving one time for the first time many years ago, and they give you a release and you have to sign it. I mean, you know, you read through it, and the guy that was in charge of the school or somebody, he said, you know what, just sign it. He said, if you want to go, you gotta sign it. It doesn't matter what it says. If you want to go skydive, you got to sign it. And if you don't sign it, you don't get to go skydiving. So with my thing, it would be like you can read through all of the mumbo jumbo for your house that you don't understand. You want the house sign it.
00:06:12
Speaker 2: Yeah. It's interesting too because they have, you know, like your down payment. They're like, okay, it's twenty percent is your down payment, and then they show you that number. But then they break it down and like, here's what all of that entails. And looking at that list, I'm like, oh my god, it's two thousand dollars for that, and it's eight thousand dollars for that, and then another ten thousand dollars for that, and then all of it added up equals your down payment, which is I don't know if I needed to see it all all itemized. I didn't need an itemized receipt didn't. And that's I'm literally only like ten pages into like a fifty page thing, and I have to like submit other stuff and reach out to my insurance. It's really stressful and it gets to the point where I look at my computer and I go, I'm going to go on a walk. Yeah, and I leave, so good. Take anyway, what else, Dave, Oh, Okay, I'm still a scare.
00:07:02
Speaker 3: I'll tell a story. Since you were talking about the skydiving, let me tell you about the surf lesson I took, and how sketchy it was, and the sense that I met Rory. It was Rory's surf school. Walking on the beach one day, tide was too high, so we had to wait for the tide to go down for a surf lessons while the waves were still like pretty high aggressive whatever. We started getting our lesson. We signed nothing. We pay for nothing. What we do nothing except for go out into the wild, wild ocean with an instructor, and we don't pay until we get back. And I look back at that now and realize I could have died and they nobody would have been responsible for my death. However, I did do a pretty good job and got up on a handful of waves. But my instructor fucking hated me.
00:07:41
Speaker 2: He kept yelling at me.
00:07:43
Speaker 3: He kept yelling at me for everything I was doing, and I was like, I get there was a little bit of like language like barrier sitch, like he spoke English, but it was kind of hard to understand what he was saying sometimes, and so I wouldn't understand what he was saying, and then he'd yell at me. When I would come back after wiping out on a wave, and at one point we got to an area area where there was coral, and so he was really being like, you need to be careful. If you fall right now, you're gonna get scratched up by coral. Well, I got absolutely pummeled by a wave and I couldn't hear what he was telling me to do. And then he started yelling at me after I got pummeled and put my finger up to be like I'm good, and I'm like, I'm yelling at me right now, like I'm trying my best. I don't understand what you're saying. So I went back and I think about how sketchy that was that we signed nothing for our safety. You just went went out there.
00:08:27
Speaker 1: She isn't that funny? I mean, because you got to resign a release in the United States to like, you know, to go on a roller coaster. I mean it's like, not not literally, but yeah wow.
00:08:36
Speaker 3: And I'm here today and I'm a strong swimmer, so I think it would have been okay. But it was terrifying the one wave that like rolled me in and it was right by the coral, so that was pretty scary.
00:08:45
Speaker 1: Unfortunately, that is all the time we're going to have because I got to be somewhere in a few minutes, and then I get a meeting with Jostin's, and then I got to go get my real ID. So hopefully tomorrow we'll have a little more time for the Minnesota Goodbye. But I want to let you know thanks for all the one wonderfully kind emails, and we will get to as many of those as we can on the next Minnesota Goodbye.
Speaker 1: You know, it's so weird. We barely have time to do the Minnesota Goodbye because there's so much going on this week with planning the big show coming up at Mall of America and what are we going to do tomorrow? And you know, we're down to like four more days of me so we barely have time to do the Minnesota Goodbye. Yeah, and you know what else I don't have time for? And this sounds so arrogant and pissy.
