CAROL COSTELLO, CNN ANCHOR: In Minnesota, the C word being used is not contraction, but championship. Let's check in with Dave Ryan and the Morning Show on 101.3 KDWB Minneapolis/St. Paul.
Oh, my goodness.

DAVE RYAN, KDWB RADIO HOST: Hello, Carol.

(CROSSTALK)

COSTELLO: What can you say about the Twins?

RYAN: I was at the Twins game last night. It was really, really, really loud. They actually give out ear plugs to the fans when they come in because it gets so loud there last night. But it was a whole lot of fun. And everybody here is so geeked up. And we needed this, Carol, because the Vikings have not been doing anything. So this was a great thing to see.

COSTELLO: Yes, the Vikings just stink this year, don't they?

RYAN: Yes.

CHAD MYERS, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Fifty five thousand people in the Homer Dome yesterday.

RYAN: Yes.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Yes.

MYERS: I mean that's like 10 games a couple years ago, right?

RYAN: Oh, oh, yes, it used to be if you would go to the Twins game like, say, in '95, it would be like you and your buddy and that was pretty much it, you know?

COSTELLO: Well, can you say fair weather fan, then, in Minneapolis?

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Absolutely.

RYAN: That's absolutely what I am, Carol. You know, if I'm paying $100 for a scalped ticket, I can be any kind of fan I want to. This is not my son's Little League team. This is the Twins. These are millionaires. I don't feel bad for being a fair weather fan.

COSTELLO: So does... RYAN: And nobody else should either.

COSTELLO: Oh, come on.

RYAN: Jump on the Twins bandwagon.

COSTELLO: Come on.

RYAN: (UNINTELLIGIBLE).

COSTELLO: I'm a Detroit Lions fan so.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Oh, no, you're in really bad shape.

MYERS: This is going to take a long time.

RYAN: And you're admitting that, Carol, on national television?

COSTELLO: Yes. Yes, but I watch every single game.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: That a girl.

COSTELLO: Thank you. So you guys should be ashamed.

Anyway, you should also be ashamed about something else. Get what they're doing, Chad. They're trying to make love connections on a bus.

RYAN: Yes. We can't afford a cruise ship, so you ever watch that silly show "Shipmates" where they put people on a cruise ship and...

MYERS: The love bus.

RYAN: And it never works out. So we put people on a Greyhound bus. It's about a two hour drive to Auclaire, Wisconsin.

COSTELLO: Auclair.

RYAN: And they go to lovely Auclair. Now, we...

COSTELLO: That's the Paris of Wisconsin.

RYAN: Yes.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: It's very romantic.

RYAN: So we send them on a trip to Wisconsin. So far it's not really worked out so well. The guy last week already had a girlfriend and she heard him on the radio.

COSTELLO: What?

RYAN: Yes. So that didn't work out very well but.

COSTELLO: Why do you do these crazy contests? Why do all radio morning shows do these insane things?

RYAN: It's embarrassing, Carol.

COSTELLO: It is.

RYAN: I don't know. There's something about being on the radio that makes you do silly things. I don't know why that is. But it's fun, you know?

MYERS: But I can see Captain Stuben driving the bus. I mean you've got the...

COSTELLO: Yes.

MYERS: ... you know, I mean the whole thing, this could be good.

COSTELLO: Julie's serving drinks or was it Gopher (ph)?

RYAN: Well...

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I think there's some drinks going on in that bus, but they're all in a brown paper bag. I don't think anybody is serving those.

COSTELLO: And, of course, the driver isn't drinking.

RYAN: By the way, that...

COSTELLO: Hey, quickly now...

RYAN: Yes?

COSTELLO: Update us on Jesse Ventura, because people are kind of upset because he didn't bother to vote.

RYAN: OK, here is the deal. The primary election, where it was a few weeks ago...

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: September.

RYAN: And Jesse was kind of saying I'm very disappointed in the low voter turnout. Well, he didn't vote himself. "Why didn't you vote?" somebody asked Jesse. "I was really busy," he said. It turned out Jesse was on the golf course getting his handicap determined that day.

MYERS: Sure.

RYAN: Reporters in the Twin Cities did a little digging and they found out that Jesse was busy golfing that day.

COSTELLO: He should have learned his lesson from the media because they haven't been treating him very well, oh, for the past couple years.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: He gives us too much ammo. RYAN: We're going to get one of those timers, you know those timers you can buy that says countdown to my wedding day. We're going to get one that says countdown to when Jesse is no longer the governor of Minnesota.

COSTELLO: Ooh, ouch. Ouch.

RYAN: I'm going to get one. (UNINTELLIGIBLE) I'll become rich.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Oh. Dave will suddenly disappear today after the show.

COSTELLO: Yes, exactly.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: We won't see him for a while.

COSTELLO: Exactly.

MYERS: Yes, Bobby the Brain Heenan's looking for you, buddy.

COSTELLO: Hey, thanks a lot, you guys.

We'll check back with you next week.

RYAN: OK. Bye-bye.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Thank you.
