Speaker 1 (00:00):
Okay, are you ready for the Minnesota Goodbye? It is
our daily podcast of things that we Is there anything
that we didn't get to talk about on the radio
today that you want to talk about? Can I give
you one? Sure, we were riding the motorcycle. We were
out of Saint Bonnie. We're coming back on Highway seven
and the speed limit is probably fifty five or so,
but you know, it's an open country road, so you
(00:21):
tend to go sixty five or so. Somebody is I'm
right around the Fallon turnoff and that's what I call it,
the Fallon turnoff into Minnetrashta, and somebody flashes their high
beam their head lights at me. Blink a blink a
blink of blink of blinka, yeah, and I'm like, oh,
that's that must mean there's.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
A cop right, Yeah, that's usually what I think, or
it means oh, or it's like I thought it was
like some gang related thing.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
What we talked about that before.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
That's an urban legend.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
Yeah, I know it means lights, believe it, that's what
it means.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Well, it was during the daytime, so blink a blink
of blinka. There's several things that can mean your lights
are off, turn your lights on, yeah, Or there's a
pop up ahead with a speed radar thing, or it's
a gang initiation where if you flash your lights back,
they will turn around and kill you. Now that's an
urban legend, that's not true. But it turned out there
was a cop pulled over the side of the road
(01:13):
in an unmarked SUV doing the radar speed checks and
I was like, oh, I wasn't really speeding. I was
maybe going three to five over the speed limit. But
then all the way back down Highway seven, I felt
like everybody's hero because I went blink a blinka, blink
a blink a blink a blinka with my motorcycle to
tell people, Hey, there's a cop up there ready to
bust you for speeding. I had no idea, and Susan said,
(01:35):
don't do that, and I said why. She said, because
if they're speeding, they're unsafe. They deserve to get caught.
And I said, yeah, but everybody speeds, So what would
you say, Jenny, Was I wrong or right to blink
a blinka at oncoming traffic to warn them of.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
The cop If any cops are listening right now, Dave
was obviously wrong for anyone who's not a cop.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Yeah, do it, baby, Yeah?
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Really?
Speaker 2 (01:58):
He like yeah, and the people will be nice because
it's man, it sucks to get caught in like a
speed trap.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
I don't know, it just sucks.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
I see both sides of it. You know. It's like
we all speed I mean I again, I think the
speed limit there is fifty to fifty five miles an hour.
The town that I live in Colorado is called black Forest. Now.
I grew up there, there were no speed limit signs
on the roads. We went as fast as we wanted to,
probably sixty miles an hour all through this town it
(02:27):
called black Forest. And now there's forty five mile an
hour speed limit signs, and all the new people that
have moved in since then, they all creep along at
forty five fucking miles an hour or forty three, yeah,
forty And I'm like, this is not a state park,
this is not a parking lot. This is where we live.
Fucking move So I will drive probably sixty sixty five
(02:51):
through these country roads and I'll get behind somebody who
just moved there from California, and here they are forty
two miles an hour, and I will pass them the
first opportunity that I get, So all right, okay, next
one totally let us know if you have any thoughts
on that email from Amy. Hello, morning crew. I hope
(03:12):
I'm not beating a dead horse with this, but I
want to give my share my baby on a plane
story and ask if I was the jerk. I got
the opportunity to go to Hawaii for my fortieth birthday
a few years ago. My boyfriend at the time and
I decided to treat ourselves the first class since I
would be flying the whole day of my birthday. We
had an layover in LA where we picked up a
(03:33):
family flying with a toddler in first class. The family
occupied the seats across from us and the two seats
behind us. Everything was fine until they decided the kid
needed a nap. They proceeded ask everybody in first class
will you close all your windows to make it darker
so the kid could get to sleep easier. Since it
(03:56):
was my birthday and I chose the window seat because
I enjoy looking out the window while flying, I said, no,
Was I a jerk? Well apparently they thought so, as
they proceeded to mumble some not very nice things from
the seats behind us, and even gave us the look
of death when we got off the plane. Fortunately, I
laugh at it now. With two kids of my own,
I know full well what it's like traveling and flying
(04:18):
with kids. But I would never dream of asking complete
strangers to cater to my or my children's needs. Maybe
that's just me, all right. I totally agree with you.
It's like, Okay, no, your window is your window. You
kind of go along with the crowd. Like if you're
flying and everybody's got their shades down and you don't
(04:39):
feel like looking out, I kind of put mine down.
If you're like trying to sleep on a rick a
really long flight and you're the only asshole with your
window open, I'd probably put my window down. Yeah, But
I also sit by the window every single time. I
love to look out the window. And so you were
not the jerk to not put your window down. It's
(05:01):
your birthday, you paid for that seat, and you're also
allowed to recline your seat anybody else.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
I agree everything that you said. And also I just
feel like some people have just the audacity, that's all
I'm gonna say. Yeah, for them to go around and
ask everyone in first class to put their windows down.
It's just like I could understand maybe in a way
of like, hey, do you mind if you're not using it,
like would you put it down, but like for them
to get upset them when she said no, it's like shut.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
Up because the window seat, if you get in the
window seat, your thing is the window. If you're on
the aisle seat, your thing is the aisle so you
can get easy access in and out to the court
of the bathroom.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
And if you're in the.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
Middle seat, you should be allowed to have both armrests
on either side of you. That's the one thing that
you get. So the window seat, your window is your
window period.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Yeah. So I'm glad we I think that, Yes, they
were very entitled to ask you. And first of all,
still people have a problem with a kid in first
class because you paid for a very special fortieth birthday trip.
It was your fortieth birthday. You paid probably double or
triple to sit in first class. I don't know how
(06:06):
much more it will be. It depends on a lot
of different things. But here is somebody who took their
kid into first class and they decided that they could
inconvenience you with a kid an adult would never say, Hey,
you know what, I'm going to take a nap, would
you close your window for me? I'd be like no.
I mean seriously, I.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
Wonder if it's the way that we're thinking about it,
Like no kids in first class is because we think
of first class as like a treat, and when kids
are in first class, maybe that's just like the usual
for them because they have, you know, the money to
have their whole family in first class. So it goes
from being like, oh, this is a treat that I
want to this to be a fabulous experience and it
(06:45):
doesn't occur to the other people like oh, this.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
Is just always how we fly.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Yeah, I guess. So, yeah, it's kind of like an
adult's only living community, like an all the adults only
like you know, I don't know, town home complex or whatever. Yeah,
there's nothing wrong with kids, you just choose not to
live around them so you don't hear screaming and bicycles
and fireworks and shit like that at all hours of
the night. She goes on to say, I get a
(07:09):
book recommendation for Bailey The Love that Split the World
by Emily Henry. It is nothing like anything I've ever
read by her before and I absolutely loved it. It's
a coming of age love story with some sci fi
existential crisis thrown in. I would also love a sticker,
as I'm a first time rider but longtime listener of
the show. When did w LOL go off the air,
(07:31):
because that's how long I've been listening. Nineteen eighty nine. No, yeah,
if you don't know, WROL was the big competitor to
KATIEWB for years and I think they were ninety nine
point nine or something like that, and they were sold
in about nineteen eighty nine to Minnesota Public Radio. Oh,
and they changed formats like overnight, and all the people
(07:54):
who were on it, like John Hines and all these
other people were instantly unemployed.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
And it was just the weirdest thing. I didn't live
here at the time, but that was kind of a
big story.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
I have a wol T shirt I used to wear
like my mom's clothes in high school because I thought
it was so cool, so like stuff from the seventies
and eighties, and she had a wol T shirt and
I still have it. I should find that and wear
it in some days.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
That is from Amy and Savage Amy. Thank you. I'll
get that staff writer sticker out to you. Good morning
from Aubrey. I was going to ask Jenny the best
place is to travel in and out of the US,
but I found her website and I want to say
thank you. Makes both of our lives easier. I get
free flight benefits and wanting to travel a lot more.
And I'm jealous of all of Jenny's adventures.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Yay, I'm glad you it was helpful, and if anyone
wants to check it out, it's meet meofgrid dot com.
I just have a bunch of itineraries, tips, tricks, road trips,
all that good stuff on there.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Where should I travel in the United States?
Speaker 2 (08:54):
I think that you need to go to Utah because
you've still never done all the Utah stuff, and I
swear you would just like love it. I did not
think going to Utah would be my thing that trip.
I actually wanted to go to the East Coast, but
I'm so happy that Utah ended up being the destination
because it was so cool and I feel like we
barely scratched the surface of the amount of things we
(09:15):
could have done there, and we did a lot.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
I think I would like Utah. We get our RV
at the end of the month. And number one, we
don't have a place to park it yet, so we're
kind of screwed there. And also we don't have any
trips planned because we don't have any time off. We
get a weekend, so we'll probably go to the Koa campground,
but going to like Utah would be really dope for sure.
(09:39):
All right, next one, and this is a follow up
from Donna to last week when Jenny sayin some guy
said you had a great stride when rollerblading. I miss this.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
I think someone said what was the weirdest compliment you
ever get in given or something like that. So I said, Yeah,
this guy came up to me when I was rollerblading
around the lakes and uptown and said you have a
really good stride, and then he gave me his business car.
He was like sixty, I was like twenty seven. It
was just a funny interaction.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Was he hitting on you?
Speaker 2 (10:07):
I don't know, Like I think he genuinely was like
telling me I'm a really good rollerblader, but then the
whole like he giving me his card, and then he
did say we should rollerblade together sometime.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
And I was like O gaes that's weird.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
Yeah, yeah, it had like.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Just LinkedIn on it. I don't even know if it
had his phone numbers. So yeah, I think I looked
him up afterwards, because of course why would I not,
But yeah, that was it.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
There was a radio girl, speaking of which that came
into town, and I don't know if you met her.
Her name is Ali. She's like six foot two, Okay,
Ali is still on the radio from what I understand,
And she was coming into town to see her boyfriend
and she'd heard of me through the business, and she said, hey,
let's get together. And I said, yeah, I said, you
like to ride motorcycles, I can loan you a motorcycle
(10:47):
and we can go ride motorcycles together, or we could
go flying, or we could get lunch or whatever. And
there's a tiny little part of her that I think
she thought I was hitting on her, and I wasn't
at all. I was just being socially awkward and offering
you know, too much, like too much enthusiasm, instead of saying, yeah,
let's go down to Panera bread and get lunch, which
is exactly what we ended up doing. But I think
(11:11):
that she might have thought I was hitting on her
and It's like, trust me, number one, I'm not going
to hit on anybody. I mean, maybe it depends, but
also I'm not going to have like I would never
embarrass myself by hitting on somebody who's like one half
of my age and six foot two and gorgeous and
have her be like are you hitting on me? Gross?
(11:33):
I would never do that.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
But don't you remember we called out the situation on
the radio because we thought it was funny. I don't
think that she thought you were hitting on her. It
was a matter of she was in town visiting her boyfriend,
and you were trying to plan this extravagant like motorcycle
ride that would consume a bunch of her time where
she was here to see her boyfriend who lives like
a few states away from her.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
And we were like, well, yeah, Dave, of course, she
didn't want to do any of those things.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
She just wanted to meet with you quick, probably for
a coffee, not spend four hours riding months.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
And that's exactly what I did. I was like, you know,
I've been like, yeah, commit the day to me. So
we went to Panera Bread and we got breakfast. Okay.
Donna goes on to say you could do content that's
called this a pickup line. I would love to hear others.
I recently had an interaction to Trader Joe's. I was
(12:22):
in line waiting for the person in front of me
to finish checking out seemed to take a while, and
a young hot guy at least ten years younger was
behind me started chatting. Now, remember he's a young hot
guy ten years younger. I had in my cart a
wrapped up bottle of wine, a chunk of cheese, and
some of those chocolate crunch things and some fruit. He
started asking what kind of wine I like better? Or
(12:44):
did I like white wine? Blah blah blah. At the end,
he said, he looks in my cart, it seems like
we have the same things. Maybe we should get together sometime.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
Oh my gosh, Oh yeah, that feels like they're hitting out. Wow.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
I honestly didn't know what to say or do. I'm married,
I haven't been hit on in a while. So I
texted my besting and I told her this story, and
she laughed and said, definitely a hit. And maybe Trader
Joe's has a new marketing campaign. They're hiring people to
hit on milps ha ha great idea. I might turn
into a stalker at Trader Joe's. L Ol, made my month.
(13:19):
You guys are the best, Donna. That's a great story.
Thank you for that one.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Dave.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
Do you ever go to Trader Joe's.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
I've been once in my entire life, So.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Just so you know, the cashiers are the best cashiers
you'll ever encounter.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
They will always be like.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Oh you found some really good ideam ooh what's this?
Oh yeah, I love this, like whatever. But also sometimes
it does feel like they might be hitting on you
because they're so conversational. And so I thought maybe she
was going to tell a story about a cashier, but
someone in line, Yeah, I know that person was definitely
hit Yeah congrats.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
Uh yeah, I you know. It's funny because I don't
want to give too much information, but I go to
a place frequently and I run into the same person frequently,
and they're very friendly, and they're a little bit closer
to my age, and sometimes I think they've got a
little crush on me because they're just a little bit
(14:10):
too happy friendly, smiley, it's a girl. Although I did
meet a guy at the auto show this weekend. I
think that he was flirting a little bit, yeah, because
I was asking him about cars and this and that
and blah blah where you're from and blah blah blah,
and he was just a little bit too eye contacted,
glance up and down, the body kind of a look.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
Which car? Did you guys go hook up in it?
Speaker 1 (14:36):
I don't want to say, but it was kind of
fun to like, I mean, you know, I'm not going
to do anything with it, but it was kind of
fun to be like, maybe flirting a little bit, even
if it was from a guy never happens to me.
It does, but you're clueless. You're clueless, and you don't
understand when people are flirting with you. Clueless. Okay, Nah, Dave,
(15:01):
Jenny Bailey, Vaunt y'all are amazing. Keep being amazing, favorite
and best morning show of all time period. I was
thinking about my favorite bits that have been done on
the show over the years, and I remember the sidebar bit.
I don't know why, but those were always so funny.
I'd love to be able to make a playlist of
my favorite bits that I'd like to listen back to.
What are some of you guys's favorite bits? Is the
(15:25):
sidebar bit? Is that the one we just did this morning,
like I will will no.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Sidebar was we're like you and found and be like
sidebar God, Steve so fucking annoying. Obviously you don't say that, okay,
but it would be like you two sidebarring and he's
obviously still sitting there here and everything.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Yeah, okay, gotcha. She goes on to say, what are
some of you guys's favorite bits? You can say my
name that is from Liz Okay, I don't know. I
would say we've only done it a couple of times. Mom,
there's a cow in my living room. Uh. I really
(16:01):
like doing the games like match game and Password. I
think those are just fun. I'll be honest with you.
I don't. I'm not crazy about Mixtape game because I
always struggle. Do you love mixtape game?
Speaker 4 (16:14):
Well? Do you struggle because you don't prep well enough?
Like it seems like sometimes you come up with it
on the spot.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
I'll be honest with you. Sometimes I don't put a
lot of effort into it because it's so difficult to me.
It's like unless the song pops into my head, Like, okay,
you are in a rodeo? What is your you? Uh?
You know you're a bull rider in the rodeo and
you get fucked off what song is playing. I'm like,
I don't fucking know, Well I do. I just don't
(16:42):
enjoy that creative process.
Speaker 4 (16:45):
The only thing I don't like about mixtape game is
when everyone is like, yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
You idiot, you don't win that one, stupid.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
And I'm like, oh my gosh, okay, I didn't win
that roundesh, well you are stupid.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
I love mixtape Game.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
You are stupid, thank you? Oh yeah, sure, I don't know.
I really like a lyric shuffle. It's just fun. I
like think fast. But as far as comedy bits, god,
I I really I used to love the high room
calls long ago, which we don't do anymore. And I
(17:21):
love the parody songs, which we don't really do anymore either, Jenny,
anything coming to mind?
Speaker 2 (17:25):
I mean, I think like one that we don't do
very often, but it is still always My favorite is
favorite musical moments, because I always love to hear listeners
and what their quirk is about their town. And then
you know, sometimes you find a moment in a song
that you've never noticed before, and it's the song you've
heard five hundred times, so that's probably my favorite bit
that we do. I don't know a regular bit, though,
(17:49):
I would say mixtape game is my favorite, like regular
bit that we do.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Okay, yeah, okay, fair enough.
Speaker 4 (17:53):
When I was a listener, Mixtape Game was my favorite.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
I loved. I loved, like because.
Speaker 4 (17:58):
I now knowing the show and like I know when
things happen. I couldn't guarantee like when I would be
in my car, so I would just be listening to
whatever happened to be on. And I always thought it
was like the most baller thing. When I happened to
be in my car during Mixtape Game, I was like.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Hell, yeah, I know. I know people enjoy it. Maybe
I should try to like put a little bit more
effort into it. But honestly, it's kind of like if
you know, like if Jenny wanted me to play I
don't know, pickleball with her, and I'm like, I like pickleball.
But let's say I didn't really like pickleball. Jenny and
I are playing pickleball, and I'd be looking at my
watch and I'd be kind of like not really trying
(18:36):
because I don't really enjoy it. Now, I use that
as an example because I like pickleball, but I don't
really enjoy the creative method of coming up with that one.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
Oh, I think it's fun.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Yeah, it's fine. I'm glad you like it. And if
we all felt the same way about everything on the show,
then that would be weird. So okay. That is a
signal that means rapp okay, And that's it for today.

Thank you for listening to the Minnesota Goodbye
Okay, are you ready for the Minnesota Goodbye? It is
our daily podcast of things that we Is there anything
that we didn't get to talk about on the radio
today that you want to talk about? Can I give
you one? Sure, we were riding the motorcycle. We were
out of Saint Bonnie. We're coming back on Highway seven
and the speed limit is probably fifty five or so,
but you know, it's an open country road, so you
(00:21):
tend to go sixty five or so. Somebody is I'm
right around the Fallon turnoff and that's what I call it,
the Fallon turnoff into Minnetrashta, and somebody flashes their high
beam their head lights at me. Blink a blink a
blink of blink of blinka, yeah, and I'm like, oh,
that's that must mean there's.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
A cop right, Yeah, that's usually what I think, or
it means oh, or it's like I thought it was
like some gang related thing.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
What we talked about that before.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
That's an urban legend.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
Yeah, I know it means lights, believe it, that's what
it means.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Well, it was during the daytime, so blink a blink
of blinka. There's several things that can mean your lights
are off, turn your lights on, yeah, Or there's a
pop up ahead with a speed radar thing, or it's
a gang initiation where if you flash your lights back,
they will turn around and kill you. Now that's an
urban legend, that's not true. But it turned out there
was a cop pulled over the side of the road
(01:13):
in an unmarked SUV doing the radar speed checks and
I was like, oh, I wasn't really speeding. I was
maybe going three to five over the speed limit. But
then all the way back down Highway seven, I felt
like everybody's hero because I went blink a blinka, blink
a blink a blink a blinka with my motorcycle to
tell people, Hey, there's a cop up there ready to
bust you for speeding. I had no idea, and Susan said,
(01:35):
don't do that, and I said why. She said, because
if they're speeding, they're unsafe. They deserve to get caught.
And I said, yeah, but everybody speeds, So what would
you say, Jenny, Was I wrong or right to blink
a blinka at oncoming traffic to warn them of.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
The cop If any cops are listening right now, Dave
was obviously wrong for anyone who's not a cop.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Yeah, do it, baby, Yeah?
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Really?
Speaker 2 (01:58):
He like yeah, and the people will be nice because
it's man, it sucks to get caught in like a
speed trap.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
I don't know, it just sucks.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
I see both sides of it. You know. It's like
we all speed I mean I again, I think the
speed limit there is fifty to fifty five miles an hour.
The town that I live in Colorado is called black Forest. Now.
I grew up there, there were no speed limit signs
on the roads. We went as fast as we wanted to,
probably sixty miles an hour all through this town it
(02:27):
called black Forest. And now there's forty five mile an
hour speed limit signs, and all the new people that
have moved in since then, they all creep along at
forty five fucking miles an hour or forty three, yeah,
forty And I'm like, this is not a state park,
this is not a parking lot. This is where we live.
Fucking move So I will drive probably sixty sixty five
(02:51):
through these country roads and I'll get behind somebody who
just moved there from California, and here they are forty
two miles an hour, and I will pass them the
first opportunity that I get, So all right, okay, next
one totally let us know if you have any thoughts
on that email from Amy. Hello, morning crew. I hope
(03:12):
I'm not beating a dead horse with this, but I
want to give my share my baby on a plane
story and ask if I was the jerk. I got
the opportunity to go to Hawaii for my fortieth birthday
a few years ago. My boyfriend at the time and
I decided to treat ourselves the first class since I
would be flying the whole day of my birthday. We
had an layover in LA where we picked up a
(03:33):
family flying with a toddler in first class. The family
occupied the seats across from us and the two seats
behind us. Everything was fine until they decided the kid
needed a nap. They proceeded ask everybody in first class
will you close all your windows to make it darker
so the kid could get to sleep easier. Since it
(03:56):
was my birthday and I chose the window seat because
I enjoy looking out the window while flying, I said, no,
Was I a jerk? Well apparently they thought so, as
they proceeded to mumble some not very nice things from
the seats behind us, and even gave us the look
of death when we got off the plane. Fortunately, I
laugh at it now. With two kids of my own,
I know full well what it's like traveling and flying
(04:18):
with kids. But I would never dream of asking complete
strangers to cater to my or my children's needs. Maybe
that's just me, all right. I totally agree with you.
It's like, Okay, no, your window is your window. You
kind of go along with the crowd. Like if you're
flying and everybody's got their shades down and you don't
(04:39):
feel like looking out, I kind of put mine down.
If you're like trying to sleep on a rick a
really long flight and you're the only asshole with your
window open, I'd probably put my window down. Yeah, But
I also sit by the window every single time. I
love to look out the window. And so you were
not the jerk to not put your window down. It's
(05:01):
your birthday, you paid for that seat, and you're also
allowed to recline your seat anybody else.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
I agree everything that you said. And also I just
feel like some people have just the audacity, that's all
I'm gonna say. Yeah, for them to go around and
ask everyone in first class to put their windows down.
It's just like I could understand maybe in a way
of like, hey, do you mind if you're not using it,
like would you put it down, but like for them
to get upset them when she said no, it's like shut.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
Up because the window seat, if you get in the
window seat, your thing is the window. If you're on
the aisle seat, your thing is the aisle so you
can get easy access in and out to the court
of the bathroom.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
And if you're in the.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
Middle seat, you should be allowed to have both armrests
on either side of you. That's the one thing that
you get. So the window seat, your window is your
window period.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Yeah. So I'm glad we I think that, Yes, they
were very entitled to ask you. And first of all,
still people have a problem with a kid in first
class because you paid for a very special fortieth birthday trip.
It was your fortieth birthday. You paid probably double or
triple to sit in first class. I don't know how
(06:06):
much more it will be. It depends on a lot
of different things. But here is somebody who took their
kid into first class and they decided that they could
inconvenience you with a kid an adult would never say, Hey,
you know what, I'm going to take a nap, would
you close your window for me? I'd be like no.
I mean seriously, I.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
Wonder if it's the way that we're thinking about it,
Like no kids in first class is because we think
of first class as like a treat, and when kids
are in first class, maybe that's just like the usual
for them because they have, you know, the money to
have their whole family in first class. So it goes
from being like, oh, this is a treat that I
want to this to be a fabulous experience and it
(06:45):
doesn't occur to the other people like oh, this.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
Is just always how we fly.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Yeah, I guess. So, yeah, it's kind of like an
adult's only living community, like an all the adults only
like you know, I don't know, town home complex or whatever. Yeah,
there's nothing wrong with kids, you just choose not to
live around them so you don't hear screaming and bicycles
and fireworks and shit like that at all hours of
the night. She goes on to say, I get a
(07:09):
book recommendation for Bailey The Love that Split the World
by Emily Henry. It is nothing like anything I've ever
read by her before and I absolutely loved it. It's
a coming of age love story with some sci fi
existential crisis thrown in. I would also love a sticker,
as I'm a first time rider but longtime listener of
the show. When did w LOL go off the air,
(07:31):
because that's how long I've been listening. Nineteen eighty nine. No, yeah,
if you don't know, WROL was the big competitor to
KATIEWB for years and I think they were ninety nine
point nine or something like that, and they were sold
in about nineteen eighty nine to Minnesota Public Radio. Oh,
and they changed formats like overnight, and all the people
(07:54):
who were on it, like John Hines and all these
other people were instantly unemployed.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
And it was just the weirdest thing. I didn't live
here at the time, but that was kind of a
big story.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
I have a wol T shirt I used to wear
like my mom's clothes in high school because I thought
it was so cool, so like stuff from the seventies
and eighties, and she had a wol T shirt and
I still have it. I should find that and wear
it in some days.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
That is from Amy and Savage Amy. Thank you. I'll
get that staff writer sticker out to you. Good morning
from Aubrey. I was going to ask Jenny the best
place is to travel in and out of the US,
but I found her website and I want to say
thank you. Makes both of our lives easier. I get
free flight benefits and wanting to travel a lot more.
And I'm jealous of all of Jenny's adventures.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Yay, I'm glad you it was helpful, and if anyone
wants to check it out, it's meet meofgrid dot com.
I just have a bunch of itineraries, tips, tricks, road trips,
all that good stuff on there.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Where should I travel in the United States?
Speaker 2 (08:54):
I think that you need to go to Utah because
you've still never done all the Utah stuff, and I
swear you would just like love it. I did not
think going to Utah would be my thing that trip.
I actually wanted to go to the East Coast, but
I'm so happy that Utah ended up being the destination
because it was so cool and I feel like we
barely scratched the surface of the amount of things we
(09:15):
could have done there, and we did a lot.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
I think I would like Utah. We get our RV
at the end of the month. And number one, we
don't have a place to park it yet, so we're
kind of screwed there. And also we don't have any
trips planned because we don't have any time off. We
get a weekend, so we'll probably go to the Koa campground,
but going to like Utah would be really dope for sure.
(09:39):
All right, next one, and this is a follow up
from Donna to last week when Jenny sayin some guy
said you had a great stride when rollerblading. I miss this.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
I think someone said what was the weirdest compliment you
ever get in given or something like that. So I said, Yeah,
this guy came up to me when I was rollerblading
around the lakes and uptown and said you have a
really good stride, and then he gave me his business car.
He was like sixty, I was like twenty seven. It
was just a funny interaction.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Was he hitting on you?
Speaker 2 (10:07):
I don't know, Like I think he genuinely was like
telling me I'm a really good rollerblader, but then the
whole like he giving me his card, and then he
did say we should rollerblade together sometime.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
And I was like O gaes that's weird.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
Yeah, yeah, it had like.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Just LinkedIn on it. I don't even know if it
had his phone numbers. So yeah, I think I looked
him up afterwards, because of course why would I not,
But yeah, that was it.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
There was a radio girl, speaking of which that came
into town, and I don't know if you met her.
Her name is Ali. She's like six foot two, Okay,
Ali is still on the radio from what I understand,
And she was coming into town to see her boyfriend
and she'd heard of me through the business, and she said, hey,
let's get together. And I said, yeah, I said, you
like to ride motorcycles, I can loan you a motorcycle
(10:47):
and we can go ride motorcycles together, or we could
go flying, or we could get lunch or whatever. And
there's a tiny little part of her that I think
she thought I was hitting on her, and I wasn't
at all. I was just being socially awkward and offering
you know, too much, like too much enthusiasm, instead of saying, yeah,
let's go down to Panera bread and get lunch, which
is exactly what we ended up doing. But I think
(11:11):
that she might have thought I was hitting on her
and It's like, trust me, number one, I'm not going
to hit on anybody. I mean, maybe it depends, but
also I'm not going to have like I would never
embarrass myself by hitting on somebody who's like one half
of my age and six foot two and gorgeous and
have her be like are you hitting on me? Gross?
(11:33):
I would never do that.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
But don't you remember we called out the situation on
the radio because we thought it was funny. I don't
think that she thought you were hitting on her. It
was a matter of she was in town visiting her boyfriend,
and you were trying to plan this extravagant like motorcycle
ride that would consume a bunch of her time where
she was here to see her boyfriend who lives like
a few states away from her.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
And we were like, well, yeah, Dave, of course, she
didn't want to do any of those things.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
She just wanted to meet with you quick, probably for
a coffee, not spend four hours riding months.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
And that's exactly what I did. I was like, you know,
I've been like, yeah, commit the day to me. So
we went to Panera Bread and we got breakfast. Okay.
Donna goes on to say you could do content that's
called this a pickup line. I would love to hear others.
I recently had an interaction to Trader Joe's. I was
(12:22):
in line waiting for the person in front of me
to finish checking out seemed to take a while, and
a young hot guy at least ten years younger was
behind me started chatting. Now, remember he's a young hot
guy ten years younger. I had in my cart a
wrapped up bottle of wine, a chunk of cheese, and
some of those chocolate crunch things and some fruit. He
started asking what kind of wine I like better? Or
(12:44):
did I like white wine? Blah blah blah. At the end,
he said, he looks in my cart, it seems like
we have the same things. Maybe we should get together sometime.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
Oh my gosh, Oh yeah, that feels like they're hitting out. Wow.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
I honestly didn't know what to say or do. I'm married,
I haven't been hit on in a while. So I
texted my besting and I told her this story, and
she laughed and said, definitely a hit. And maybe Trader
Joe's has a new marketing campaign. They're hiring people to
hit on milps ha ha great idea. I might turn
into a stalker at Trader Joe's. L Ol, made my month.
(13:19):
You guys are the best, Donna. That's a great story.
Thank you for that one.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Dave.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
Do you ever go to Trader Joe's.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
I've been once in my entire life, So.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Just so you know, the cashiers are the best cashiers
you'll ever encounter.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
They will always be like.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Oh you found some really good ideam ooh what's this?
Oh yeah, I love this, like whatever. But also sometimes
it does feel like they might be hitting on you
because they're so conversational. And so I thought maybe she
was going to tell a story about a cashier, but
someone in line, Yeah, I know that person was definitely
hit Yeah congrats.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
Uh yeah, I you know. It's funny because I don't
want to give too much information, but I go to
a place frequently and I run into the same person frequently,
and they're very friendly, and they're a little bit closer
to my age, and sometimes I think they've got a
little crush on me because they're just a little bit
(14:10):
too happy friendly, smiley, it's a girl. Although I did
meet a guy at the auto show this weekend. I
think that he was flirting a little bit, yeah, because
I was asking him about cars and this and that
and blah blah where you're from and blah blah blah,
and he was just a little bit too eye contacted,
glance up and down, the body kind of a look.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
Which car? Did you guys go hook up in it?
Speaker 1 (14:36):
I don't want to say, but it was kind of
fun to like, I mean, you know, I'm not going
to do anything with it, but it was kind of
fun to be like, maybe flirting a little bit, even
if it was from a guy never happens to me.
It does, but you're clueless. You're clueless, and you don't
understand when people are flirting with you. Clueless. Okay, Nah, Dave,
(15:01):
Jenny Bailey, Vaunt y'all are amazing. Keep being amazing, favorite
and best morning show of all time period. I was
thinking about my favorite bits that have been done on
the show over the years, and I remember the sidebar bit.
I don't know why, but those were always so funny.
I'd love to be able to make a playlist of
my favorite bits that I'd like to listen back to.
What are some of you guys's favorite bits? Is the
(15:25):
sidebar bit? Is that the one we just did this morning,
like I will will no.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Sidebar was we're like you and found and be like
sidebar God, Steve so fucking annoying. Obviously you don't say that, okay,
but it would be like you two sidebarring and he's
obviously still sitting there here and everything.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Yeah, okay, gotcha. She goes on to say, what are
some of you guys's favorite bits? You can say my
name that is from Liz Okay, I don't know. I
would say we've only done it a couple of times. Mom,
there's a cow in my living room. Uh. I really
(16:01):
like doing the games like match game and Password. I
think those are just fun. I'll be honest with you.
I don't. I'm not crazy about Mixtape game because I
always struggle. Do you love mixtape game?
Speaker 4 (16:14):
Well? Do you struggle because you don't prep well enough?
Like it seems like sometimes you come up with it
on the spot.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
I'll be honest with you. Sometimes I don't put a
lot of effort into it because it's so difficult to me.
It's like unless the song pops into my head, Like, okay,
you are in a rodeo? What is your you? Uh?
You know you're a bull rider in the rodeo and
you get fucked off what song is playing. I'm like,
I don't fucking know, Well I do. I just don't
(16:42):
enjoy that creative process.
Speaker 4 (16:45):
The only thing I don't like about mixtape game is
when everyone is like, yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
You idiot, you don't win that one, stupid.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
And I'm like, oh my gosh, okay, I didn't win
that roundesh, well you are stupid.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
I love mixtape Game.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
You are stupid, thank you? Oh yeah, sure, I don't know.
I really like a lyric shuffle. It's just fun. I
like think fast. But as far as comedy bits, god,
I I really I used to love the high room
calls long ago, which we don't do anymore. And I
(17:21):
love the parody songs, which we don't really do anymore either, Jenny,
anything coming to mind?
Speaker 2 (17:25):
I mean, I think like one that we don't do
very often, but it is still always My favorite is
favorite musical moments, because I always love to hear listeners
and what their quirk is about their town. And then
you know, sometimes you find a moment in a song
that you've never noticed before, and it's the song you've
heard five hundred times, so that's probably my favorite bit
that we do. I don't know a regular bit, though,
(17:49):
I would say mixtape game is my favorite, like regular
bit that we do.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Okay, yeah, okay, fair enough.
Speaker 4 (17:53):
When I was a listener, Mixtape Game was my favorite.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
I loved. I loved, like because.
Speaker 4 (17:58):
I now knowing the show and like I know when
things happen. I couldn't guarantee like when I would be
in my car, so I would just be listening to
whatever happened to be on. And I always thought it
was like the most baller thing. When I happened to
be in my car during Mixtape Game, I was like.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Hell, yeah, I know. I know people enjoy it. Maybe
I should try to like put a little bit more
effort into it. But honestly, it's kind of like if
you know, like if Jenny wanted me to play I
don't know, pickleball with her, and I'm like, I like pickleball.
But let's say I didn't really like pickleball. Jenny and
I are playing pickleball, and I'd be looking at my
watch and I'd be kind of like not really trying
(18:36):
because I don't really enjoy it. Now, I use that
as an example because I like pickleball, but I don't
really enjoy the creative method of coming up with that one.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
Oh, I think it's fun.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Yeah, it's fine. I'm glad you like it. And if
we all felt the same way about everything on the show,
then that would be weird. So okay. That is a
signal that means rapp okay, And that's it for today.
