1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.160
All right, here we are the
Friday day edition of the Minnesota Goodbye.

2
00:00:04.480 --> 00:00:06.799
I would say, on a scale
of one to ten, excitement level for

3
00:00:06.839 --> 00:00:09.439
going to the fair tomorrow, I'm
about an eight because I'm pretty excited.

4
00:00:09.439 --> 00:00:12.240
I'm gonna get there early. We
our show doesn't start until noon. I'm

5
00:00:12.240 --> 00:00:15.400
gonna go put all my stuff in
vacati w B booth, and then I'm

6
00:00:15.439 --> 00:00:21.480
going to walk around by myself and
just I don't know, probably not overeat,

7
00:00:21.519 --> 00:00:24.399
but just look at a lot of
the things that you know, people

8
00:00:24.440 --> 00:00:27.199
want to look at before we start
the show. Do you plan being out

9
00:00:27.199 --> 00:00:29.280
there? I mean, I know
we're out there next Thursday as well,

10
00:00:29.359 --> 00:00:31.719
but do you plan on going out
there just for a day for yourself at

11
00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:34.600
all? We probably will. Yeah. You know, Carson's not here,

12
00:00:34.679 --> 00:00:37.600
and he loves going to the fair. He is right now. He's in

13
00:00:37.679 --> 00:00:42.840
Bangkok, Thailand with the Lave Tour
and he was out at a smoothie booth

14
00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:47.439
and he's sent a picture because right
now it's like eight o'clock at night over

15
00:00:47.439 --> 00:00:51.640
there, and he was probably out
this afternoon. The time change is really

16
00:00:51.679 --> 00:00:54.399
weird. But he has a day
off, so he was out, you

17
00:00:54.439 --> 00:00:57.119
know, But to answer your question, Yeah, we probably will. We

18
00:00:57.159 --> 00:01:00.039
love the fair, yeah, I
think, because we're going out of town

19
00:01:00.039 --> 00:01:03.439
next weekend. I don't know that
we'll make it out there besides the times

20
00:01:03.479 --> 00:01:04.959
that I have to work, but
I'm there all weekend. And Andrew is

21
00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:10.200
going to go out there Saturday,
and probably I might hang out after we

22
00:01:10.239 --> 00:01:14.040
get done working on Saturday with Andrew
and like his friends and stuff, So

23
00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:17.319
he loves the fair. He'd go
like every single day if he's agree too.

24
00:01:17.319 --> 00:01:19.120
Oh yeah, I mean they have
a big work event. He works

25
00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:23.560
for a dining realty and like the
whole a dining realty community of the Twin

26
00:01:23.599 --> 00:01:26.159
Cities goes and has a meeting there
because one of the people owns the ballpark

27
00:01:26.200 --> 00:01:30.159
cafe that works for a dinah wow. So they have a meeting there that

28
00:01:30.280 --> 00:01:33.599
every Tuesday of the say Fair,
and then they all just hang out all

29
00:01:33.680 --> 00:01:37.000
day long at the fair afterwards.
So he'll be out there Tuesday for sure,

30
00:01:37.319 --> 00:01:40.040
and I'm sure a few other days. That's cool, you know what,

31
00:01:40.200 --> 00:01:42.760
Some people just love the fair.
I think some people go every day

32
00:01:42.879 --> 00:01:46.319
to the fair. I know there
are people who like have a camper on

33
00:01:46.400 --> 00:01:49.640
the fairground because there's a campground there, and I think there are some people

34
00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:52.599
who go there and they go every
single day. Hey cool, good for

35
00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:57.159
them. Totally different subject, Jamie
writes in with an email. The emails

36
00:01:57.159 --> 00:01:59.920
are the heart of the Minnesota Goodbye. They are always great thoughts, starters

37
00:02:00.040 --> 00:02:01.599
for us and give us something to
talk about, Jamie writes, and she

38
00:02:01.640 --> 00:02:05.760
says, there, I was listening
to the Minnesota Goodbye podcast in my car

39
00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:08.919
on the way to Rochester two attend
a funeral. I realized I was starving,

40
00:02:08.960 --> 00:02:12.159
and I knew that if I didn't
eat something, then I wouldn't have

41
00:02:12.159 --> 00:02:15.639
another chance for several hours. So
I went to the McDonald's drive through and

42
00:02:15.719 --> 00:02:21.159
that's when I experienced my very own
Minnesota Goodbye synchronicity moment. And Dave,

43
00:02:21.240 --> 00:02:24.479
you can thank me later. She
attaches a photo and outside of McDonald's is

44
00:02:24.639 --> 00:02:31.159
a Nerf display. It says nerf
playmore games at happymeal dot com. So

45
00:02:31.199 --> 00:02:35.680
it is all about Nerf balls.
And you know my background with a NERF

46
00:02:35.759 --> 00:02:38.639
ball, because years ago I should
have never brought it up. But it's

47
00:02:38.719 --> 00:02:43.039
now funny that when I was probably
fourteen years old or so, and I

48
00:02:43.080 --> 00:02:45.680
was full of four moans, I
know twelve, thirteen, fourteen. I

49
00:02:45.719 --> 00:02:50.759
don't remember. I had a pink
nerf ball and I cut a little hole

50
00:02:50.840 --> 00:02:53.000
in the nerf ball. It's about
the size of a soccer ball, and

51
00:02:53.039 --> 00:02:57.840
then enjoyed myself with the hole in
the nerf ball because I was fourteen years

52
00:02:57.879 --> 00:03:01.599
old, and I talked about this
because I think we all do a lot

53
00:03:01.639 --> 00:03:06.560
of dumb things when we're kids that
we would never want anybody to know.

54
00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:09.080
When you're an adult, it's like
everybody did something like that, So who

55
00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:14.840
cares. Thank you, Jamie for
remembering me. Whenever you see a nerf

56
00:03:14.960 --> 00:03:23.360
ball, appreciate that. Next one, Okay, this is about endorsements.

57
00:03:23.960 --> 00:03:30.039
They say, Dave, Jenny Drake
love you and I about ask about endorsements.

58
00:03:30.199 --> 00:03:32.840
How do you decide to do them? And do you actually love them?

59
00:03:34.800 --> 00:03:39.159
I'm curious. So that's a really, really good question. There's kind

60
00:03:39.159 --> 00:03:43.439
of a policy here at the radio
station and in our company that we have

61
00:03:43.599 --> 00:03:46.800
to use or like the product that
we're endorsing. So in other words,

62
00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:52.560
I couldn't say I couldn't do a
product of endorsement for feminine hygiene products because

63
00:03:52.599 --> 00:03:53.599
that would be stupid. I don't
use them. I don't know, I

64
00:03:53.639 --> 00:03:58.000
don't know about them. I don't
like whatever. But everything from sleep number

65
00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:01.639
I got sleep number bed, I've
been on Olivia, I frequent the UPS

66
00:04:01.719 --> 00:04:06.840
store, I love Treasure Island Resort
and casino. I always use zero rez.

67
00:04:08.599 --> 00:04:12.400
So I think anything that we endorse
were either big fans of it,

68
00:04:12.639 --> 00:04:16.720
we might not use that specific product
directly. Yeah, but I think that

69
00:04:16.800 --> 00:04:19.360
if we're fans of that business,
then yeah, of course we're happy to

70
00:04:19.439 --> 00:04:25.240
endorse them. Yeah, I don't
have I don't have as many endorsements,

71
00:04:25.279 --> 00:04:28.079
So most of the ones that I
get that come my way, I do

72
00:04:28.240 --> 00:04:30.000
say yes to, but I do
not say yes to ones that I don't

73
00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:33.160
think align with who I am as
a person either. So for instance,

74
00:04:33.240 --> 00:04:36.040
like, yeah, you make more
money with endorsements, but I said no

75
00:04:36.199 --> 00:04:43.480
to a liposection company because I wasn't
going to do liposection. Did I don't

76
00:04:43.560 --> 00:04:46.680
feel the need to do liposection,
And I didn't want to endorse something that

77
00:04:46.759 --> 00:04:48.439
I didn't feel like aligned with me. So like, of course, what

78
00:04:48.600 --> 00:04:53.480
I have liked that extra money,
Yeah, of course, but I don't

79
00:04:53.519 --> 00:04:57.680
want to be like a fraud that
like endorses something that I don't do or

80
00:04:57.759 --> 00:05:00.879
believe in or whatever myself, and
nothing against lposection. Great if you get

81
00:05:00.959 --> 00:05:04.639
liposection. I just personally was never
going to so I knew that it wouldn't

82
00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:08.839
work for me. I think that's
kind of ethical, and it's kind of

83
00:05:08.839 --> 00:05:11.439
a good thing for the company to
where I think. There was a couple

84
00:05:11.480 --> 00:05:15.000
that I turned down. One was
a hair regrowth lotion that you put on

85
00:05:15.040 --> 00:05:17.680
your head to regrow hair for male
pattern baldness, and I said, listen,

86
00:05:17.759 --> 00:05:21.279
I don't believe that stuff works.
I don't think if you've got proof

87
00:05:21.279 --> 00:05:25.240
that it works, I'll consider it. But if it's just I think a

88
00:05:25.240 --> 00:05:27.759
lot of those things are like money
back guaranteed. So you buy the hair

89
00:05:27.800 --> 00:05:30.800
regrowth lotion, it doesn't work,
but you're too lazy to send it back,

90
00:05:30.040 --> 00:05:33.439
so you decide just to forty ninety
nine down the drain. And I

91
00:05:33.439 --> 00:05:35.839
said, I'm not going to do
that because people listen to the show and

92
00:05:35.879 --> 00:05:39.839
they trust me. And there was
one company, and I don't want to

93
00:05:39.839 --> 00:05:44.920
get into too many details, but
they offered a service, and I was

94
00:05:44.959 --> 00:05:46.160
a big fan because I thought it
was a great service. But then people

95
00:05:46.199 --> 00:05:50.920
started calling complain and say it wasn't
a great service. In other words,

96
00:05:50.959 --> 00:05:55.360
when they got this service, it's
nothing that's on the air now. It's

97
00:05:55.399 --> 00:05:58.480
been years since it's been on.
When they got this service, it wasn't

98
00:05:58.480 --> 00:06:00.000
as good as they thought, and
they were disa pointed, and they were

99
00:06:00.040 --> 00:06:04.240
disappointed in me that I was recommending
them, yeah, to use this service,

100
00:06:04.279 --> 00:06:06.279
and I said, I'm not going
to do that anymore. Yeah,

101
00:06:06.279 --> 00:06:12.279
So you can guess what it is, but I can't tell you. Let's

102
00:06:12.319 --> 00:06:16.120
see, this is interesting. Robert
writes all the way from I think it's

103
00:06:16.160 --> 00:06:18.800
Sanoma, California, that's where he
is. Yep. First of all,

104
00:06:18.879 --> 00:06:24.160
Hughes, congratulations both Jenny and Fallen
on their promotions. I've been listening since

105
00:06:24.199 --> 00:06:27.319
before they both started on the show, and being able to witness their growth

106
00:06:27.319 --> 00:06:30.279
and progression really makes me your proud
listener. Thank you both for all your

107
00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:35.800
hard work. So if now that
Fallon is in the afternoon show, where

108
00:06:35.839 --> 00:06:40.680
can I listen to her? Will
this show also be a podcast I can

109
00:06:40.720 --> 00:06:44.360
access through Apple Podcasts or on the
iHeart app? Aren't they? Are they

110
00:06:44.480 --> 00:06:47.759
saving their podcasts just like ours?
Yes, I think they didn't post like

111
00:06:47.800 --> 00:06:50.600
the first day or two because they
were still figuring out how to do that.

112
00:06:51.040 --> 00:06:56.920
But I'm pretty sure they're up now
just on the iHeart app. If

113
00:06:56.920 --> 00:07:00.319
you search Fallon and Zach you should
be able to hear the show the replays.

114
00:07:00.439 --> 00:07:03.240
Yeah, they don't talk as much
as the Morning show does, so

115
00:07:03.319 --> 00:07:06.399
it is a little bit smaller of
podcasts and stuff. So I think they

116
00:07:06.560 --> 00:07:11.600
might just have like one full podcast
versus like an hourly one like what we

117
00:07:11.639 --> 00:07:15.680
do, because I think, honestly, in total they're one, Like their

118
00:07:15.720 --> 00:07:18.439
four hours almost equate to one hour
of our show of talking, So I

119
00:07:18.439 --> 00:07:21.920
think it might just be one episode
a day that you can look for.

120
00:07:23.040 --> 00:07:26.279
So, okay, Fallon and Zach
on the iHeart app. Yeah, and

121
00:07:26.319 --> 00:07:29.040
they definitely should be on there.
Remember a lot of people, you can

122
00:07:29.120 --> 00:07:33.160
listen live to our show anytime if
you find kat WB or listen to Dave

123
00:07:33.240 --> 00:07:38.199
Ryan Show on the replays, and
basicallyly the entire show is on replays.

124
00:07:38.240 --> 00:07:42.600
And then a separate channel is the
Minnesota Goodbye YEP and another channel is War

125
00:07:42.680 --> 00:07:46.399
of the Roses. So this they
going to say. Robert says, I

126
00:07:46.399 --> 00:07:49.240
find myself listening to the Dave Ryan
Show over again during the week when I

127
00:07:49.319 --> 00:07:53.959
run out of content to listen to
and I'm not gonna lie. I got

128
00:07:54.000 --> 00:07:57.519
excited at the idea of maybe a
new podcast cropping up featuring Fallon. Yeah,

129
00:07:57.519 --> 00:08:00.199
it should be there, and I'm
going to guess they're probably gonna and

130
00:08:00.240 --> 00:08:03.879
after the show podcast two, kind
of like the Minnesota Goodbye. I'm not

131
00:08:03.879 --> 00:08:07.600
sure about that, but probably maybe
eventually. I know they just started this

132
00:08:07.639 --> 00:08:09.160
week, so who knows what's going
to be a lot of things are still

133
00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:13.879
in and flux, as you might
say. Robert says, all the best.

134
00:08:13.879 --> 00:08:18.079
Thank you, Robert, I appreciate
you listening Again. I'm fascinated by

135
00:08:18.120 --> 00:08:20.800
people who listen in other cities because
I don't know how they found us.

136
00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:24.360
And a lot of the time people
say I was listening and I heard this,

137
00:08:24.399 --> 00:08:28.319
and I really like this. So
I've been a listener ever since yesterday.

138
00:08:28.519 --> 00:08:31.559
We talked about anxiety medication. So
this person writes in I won't say

139
00:08:31.559 --> 00:08:35.919
her name, I have had severe
anxiety as far back as I can remember.

140
00:08:37.000 --> 00:08:39.639
She says, it gets so bad
I literally have trouble breathing. After

141
00:08:39.720 --> 00:08:43.080
college, I started having panic attacks. My doctors gave me a prescription for

142
00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:48.799
Xanex, which is similar to klonopin, but shorter acting and therefore more potent.

143
00:08:50.399 --> 00:08:52.240
I started one milligram daily, but
after a while it wasn't enough to

144
00:08:52.240 --> 00:08:56.000
get me through the day. My
doctor kept increasing the dose until I was

145
00:08:56.039 --> 00:09:01.080
at one milligram four times a day
for ref rents. A normal amount of

146
00:09:01.120 --> 00:09:05.480
Zanex for somebody to take would be
point two five to half a milligram as

147
00:09:05.679 --> 00:09:09.240
needed, and definitely not every day. I was addicted within a couple of

148
00:09:09.240 --> 00:09:13.720
months. When my doctor cut me
off called turkey. I went through severe

149
00:09:13.919 --> 00:09:18.000
withdrawals. I had no choice but
to find another doctor who would continue prescribing

150
00:09:18.039 --> 00:09:22.720
me the medication. That's frightening and
awful, because remember I talked about That's

151
00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:24.679
why I was very careful with the
klonopin because I know it's very addictive.

152
00:09:26.879 --> 00:09:33.120
I spent the next twelve years.
They go on to say addicted to benzodiazepines.

153
00:09:33.159 --> 00:09:37.960
I hope I said that right,
and also at van and Valium.

154
00:09:37.960 --> 00:09:41.200
I've been through multiple treatment programs and
I've lost months of my life due to

155
00:09:41.200 --> 00:09:45.720
the memory problems caused by these medications
since in his high doses they can make

156
00:09:45.720 --> 00:09:48.159
people black out. My addiction stories
long, so I won't go into it,

157
00:09:48.200 --> 00:09:54.480
but I highly discourage people from relying
on benzos to manage their anxiety.

158
00:09:54.480 --> 00:10:00.159
While painkillers like opiates can addict people
almost immediately, benzos do so over time.

159
00:10:00.200 --> 00:10:03.519
People can become physically dependent on these
medications after two weeks of regular use

160
00:10:03.559 --> 00:10:09.600
without even knowing that they're becoming addicted. The withdrawals can be deadly, so

161
00:10:09.639 --> 00:10:15.440
it's nearly impossible to stop without sort
of some medical intervention or treatment program.

162
00:10:15.440 --> 00:10:18.799
Currently, I've been off Benzo's almost
four months, which is a huge amount

163
00:10:18.840 --> 00:10:20.919
of time for me, good for
you. I'm learning to manage my anxiety

164
00:10:20.919 --> 00:10:26.279
in other ways, like exercising,
finding fun hobbies, and going to therapy.

165
00:10:26.799 --> 00:10:28.600
If I could go back in time, I would never have taken that

166
00:10:28.679 --> 00:10:33.320
first prescription. It wasn't worth losing
so much for including most of my twenties

167
00:10:33.320 --> 00:10:37.840
and the first few years of my
thirties. I'm sorry this email is long,

168
00:10:37.879 --> 00:10:41.679
but I want to share my experience
perhaps provides some useful information. Thanks

169
00:10:41.679 --> 00:10:43.320
for reading. Oh, she says, you might use my name that Jacqueline.

170
00:10:43.320 --> 00:10:50.240
Thank you. I think that is
really a profound lesson. That she

171
00:10:50.320 --> 00:10:52.360
had anxiety, got addicted, and
it ruined her life for a while.

172
00:10:54.240 --> 00:10:58.840
She says, exercise, hobbies and
therapy, which I am a big believe

173
00:11:00.360 --> 00:11:05.440
in that, not therapy my personal
experience. I believe in it, but

174
00:11:05.480 --> 00:11:09.080
I'm not got experience with it.
Yeah, exercise on motion equals emotion.

175
00:11:09.639 --> 00:11:15.720
If you are anxious, it definitely
helps to get up and stop thinking about

176
00:11:15.759 --> 00:11:18.159
it. I have found that when
I'm out for a run, there's not

177
00:11:18.240 --> 00:11:22.399
enough blood in my head to think
deep thoughts. My blood is in my

178
00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:26.120
legs and it's in my heart and
my lungs or whatever my limbs. So

179
00:11:26.159 --> 00:11:28.240
when I'm out for a run,
it's great therapy because my blood is not

180
00:11:28.320 --> 00:11:33.240
allowing my brain to think deeply.
Yeah, no, I totally agree.

181
00:11:33.399 --> 00:11:37.039
But also just like even hobbies.
Yes, but if you also work at

182
00:11:37.039 --> 00:11:39.600
a job, that helps you out. Because when I was in the peak

183
00:11:39.639 --> 00:11:43.759
of my anxiety era, which was
in college, I was working at Bubba

184
00:11:43.840 --> 00:11:48.480
Gumps, and I would like pick
up shifts just because I was like super

185
00:11:48.519 --> 00:11:50.279
anxious that day, and I knew
I could go into work not only make

186
00:11:50.320 --> 00:11:54.200
money that was a perk, but
I was friends with everyone I worked with.

187
00:11:54.279 --> 00:11:56.360
I was nice to be around people, and so I became such a

188
00:11:56.360 --> 00:12:01.840
workaholic because I mean I was kind
of a workaholic, but I was even

189
00:12:01.840 --> 00:12:05.519
more so when I got anxiety,
because it helped me get my brain off

190
00:12:05.519 --> 00:12:09.559
of things. Like you just you
have to like sometimes just distract yourself.

191
00:12:09.960 --> 00:12:13.080
And I'll be honest, like I
said yesterday, I was prescribed things that

192
00:12:13.080 --> 00:12:16.000
I was supposed to take only when
I was super anxious, and it didn't

193
00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:18.320
really work for me. But I
was also so fearful of taking them because

194
00:12:18.360 --> 00:12:20.799
of the fact that I don't I
didn't know if it was going to become

195
00:12:20.840 --> 00:12:24.960
something I needed to rely on to
like fix my anxiety all the time.

196
00:12:24.039 --> 00:12:28.120
Like I was so scared that I
was always going to be relying on pills

197
00:12:28.120 --> 00:12:33.000
then. And but like I said, I do believe that there are anxiety

198
00:12:33.039 --> 00:12:35.039
medicine out there that is totally worth
it, that's not addicting like that.

199
00:12:35.440 --> 00:12:39.519
But it was a fear in my
mind when I was prescribed those pills.

200
00:12:39.679 --> 00:12:41.080
Well, and that's kind of what
the next emailer says, is that there

201
00:12:41.159 --> 00:12:45.639
is a time for anxiety medications or
some sort of medications. So well,

202
00:12:45.679 --> 00:12:50.759
let's read the next one. I've
been on anxiety depression medication for ten plus

203
00:12:50.840 --> 00:12:52.320
years of my life. I started
when I was in high school at sixteen,

204
00:12:52.720 --> 00:12:58.559
and I am now almost thirty.
Without medication, I experienced debilitating anxiety.

205
00:12:58.120 --> 00:13:01.720
I don't feel like myself and I
can't enjoy life. Throughout my life.

206
00:13:03.039 --> 00:13:07.120
There have been periods when I slowly
came off the medicine, including for

207
00:13:07.120 --> 00:13:09.440
an entire year recently, but I
found I still need the medication to be

208
00:13:09.480 --> 00:13:13.200
able to live life. I am
not somebody who typically says to turn to

209
00:13:13.279 --> 00:13:18.200
medication as a solution, but in
some cases it is necessary. I eat

210
00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:22.279
extremely healthy, I am a small
and fit person. I exercise daily,

211
00:13:22.320 --> 00:13:26.279
I got a job. I enjoy
family and friends that support me. Sometimes

212
00:13:26.360 --> 00:13:31.120
lifestyle and circumstances are not enough,
and our brain chemistry is off in those

213
00:13:31.200 --> 00:13:35.559
instances. I am grateful for modern
medicine and the options we have available,

214
00:13:35.639 --> 00:13:39.080
and I think that's great. I
mean, if you are not able to

215
00:13:39.200 --> 00:13:41.960
manage anxiety or depression, I don't
want to sound like I think I know

216
00:13:41.000 --> 00:13:46.480
what I'm talking about. With exercise
or hobbies or friends or distractions or whatever,

217
00:13:46.879 --> 00:13:50.440
then yeah, talk to somebody.
Because I was telling Jenny yesterday,

218
00:13:50.480 --> 00:13:54.559
I said ten ash years ago when
I had anxiety, and even up until

219
00:13:54.600 --> 00:13:58.240
five as years ago. Sometimes even
recently, I'll stand in the kitchen or

220
00:13:58.279 --> 00:14:01.679
whatever, and I'll just be like, ohh and I feel like I've had

221
00:14:01.720 --> 00:14:07.000
a bunch of Monster energy drinks and
I am just hyped up for no reason.

222
00:14:07.960 --> 00:14:11.200
And I walk and it helps,
and I'll walk around in circles in

223
00:14:11.240 --> 00:14:13.799
the house. There's like a little
area of in like I can walk around

224
00:14:13.840 --> 00:14:16.120
the house and it helps. But
if that doesn't help, then yeah,

225
00:14:16.240 --> 00:14:24.360
medication. So there's two sides to
that one. Moving on, Drake or

226
00:14:24.440 --> 00:14:28.200
Dave and Jenny, I hope you're
both doing well, and I hope Jenny

227
00:14:28.240 --> 00:14:33.559
has not burned out yet with two
weeks of Fallon being out, Drake,

228
00:14:33.600 --> 00:14:35.679
if you don't step it up and
help Jenny, you will get many angry

229
00:14:35.679 --> 00:14:41.600
fans coming after you. Anyway.
You said you need emails. So with

230
00:14:41.600 --> 00:14:46.279
a change of family moving the afternoons, I've been curious to know is Dave

231
00:14:46.360 --> 00:14:48.759
providing guidance to their show? As
we all know, Dave is a legend

232
00:14:48.759 --> 00:14:52.720
in the radio industry, So I
wonder if you plan to do some coaching.

233
00:14:52.720 --> 00:14:56.919
Mentoring is Fallon and Zach kof their
new show. I do coach other

234
00:14:56.960 --> 00:15:01.320
shows. There's one that I'm working
with right now in Florida, and they're

235
00:15:01.519 --> 00:15:05.279
wonderful, great young people, but
they don't get a lot of coaching.

236
00:15:05.440 --> 00:15:11.279
So I was on the FaceTime within
the other day saying, hey, try

237
00:15:11.279 --> 00:15:15.159
this, and you know, for
example, I say, these two they

238
00:15:15.159 --> 00:15:20.120
get along so well that they chat
sometimes aimlessly, and they'll chat for like

239
00:15:20.240 --> 00:15:22.919
three or four minutes about kind of
nothing because they're having such a good time.

240
00:15:22.960 --> 00:15:26.000
And I said, that's great because
it sounds like you guys get along,

241
00:15:26.080 --> 00:15:31.000
but it can get boring when you
guys talk endlessly about Like we were

242
00:15:31.000 --> 00:15:33.200
talking about Koli the other day,
and how about they couldn't afford pop when

243
00:15:33.200 --> 00:15:35.679
they were kids, so they drank
Kooli And I said, that was great,

244
00:15:35.759 --> 00:15:39.679
so relatable, but it went on
a little bit too long. So

245
00:15:39.720 --> 00:15:41.159
that's kind of what I do,
is like help other shows. I have

246
00:15:41.360 --> 00:15:45.279
not coached Fallon and Zach. I
don't think that they need it, but

247
00:15:45.320 --> 00:15:48.440
if they asked for help, I
would give them help. Like e White

248
00:15:48.440 --> 00:15:50.200
when he was working on getting his
own morning show. He would send me

249
00:15:50.679 --> 00:15:56.039
audio of him doing a mock morning
show off the air, and I'd be

250
00:15:56.159 --> 00:15:56.799
like, well, what do you
think And I said, okay, Well,

251
00:15:56.840 --> 00:16:02.120
for example, don't laugh so much
because he's such a friendly, happy

252
00:16:02.159 --> 00:16:03.679
person that he'd be like, Man, I went for a run today.

253
00:16:03.720 --> 00:16:07.200
It was crazy. And then I
came home and I had I had spaghetti,

254
00:16:07.240 --> 00:16:11.519
and I'm like, don't laugh at
everything. Yeah, So it's just

255
00:16:11.720 --> 00:16:15.039
little things like that that make a
big difference. I did send them an

256
00:16:15.080 --> 00:16:17.639
idea when a couple of days ago, I said, you guys are gonna

257
00:16:17.639 --> 00:16:19.320
be at the fair, you should
get a mister, like at a restaurant

258
00:16:19.320 --> 00:16:23.159
and how they have misters. Get
a mister to put by the Katie B

259
00:16:23.240 --> 00:16:26.480
booth or a couple of them,
because it's gonna be so hot. People

260
00:16:26.480 --> 00:16:30.240
would think that's funny. And Fallon
said, that's a great idea. And

261
00:16:30.279 --> 00:16:33.080
then they checked and there was no
hose that they could run out of the

262
00:16:33.080 --> 00:16:37.039
booth or whatever, so it didn't
pan out. I've been tuning in on

263
00:16:37.080 --> 00:16:42.279
my commute home and noticed that Zach
and Fallon there're st it says, working

264
00:16:42.279 --> 00:16:48.919
through their first show jitters. Well
absolutely, I mean anything new like that,

265
00:16:48.080 --> 00:16:52.480
a new job. If you're a
new painter, you're gonna probably have

266
00:16:52.559 --> 00:16:55.879
your first few days of jitters.
She says. I think we can all

267
00:16:55.960 --> 00:16:59.559
understand. I'm anxious to see how
this develops and we'll likely add Zach and

268
00:16:59.639 --> 00:17:03.039
Fall to my daily routine. I
hope so. Well. That's the reason

269
00:17:03.039 --> 00:17:04.480
we did it, is to become
you know. I came up with the

270
00:17:04.519 --> 00:17:07.000
phrase the other day and I told
the boss, I said, here's a

271
00:17:07.039 --> 00:17:11.319
great phrase. A great radio station
just got even better because now you have

272
00:17:11.400 --> 00:17:17.039
a I don't know what the word
is, a big morning show and a

273
00:17:17.079 --> 00:17:19.720
big afternoon show. Not that Zach
wasn't big, but now I think it's

274
00:17:19.759 --> 00:17:23.680
bigger. Ye Okay, see what
else we got here? This one says

275
00:17:25.480 --> 00:17:29.319
State Fair Food. Bailey writes in
she wrote in the ridden the other day,

276
00:17:29.319 --> 00:17:32.519
she said, what was those fish
fries that you found at the fair

277
00:17:32.559 --> 00:17:36.039
that you love? I said,
they're called smelt fries. They're in the

278
00:17:36.079 --> 00:17:38.799
food building near the Haunted House,
in the same building they'll sell cheese kurts.

279
00:17:40.359 --> 00:17:44.039
They're down the walk away a little
bit and there's like a fish booth

280
00:17:44.119 --> 00:17:47.759
whatever, and they have little fish
that are about the size of a French

281
00:17:47.759 --> 00:17:52.119
fry. They're fried and they're called
smelt and you dip thement harder sauce.

282
00:17:52.759 --> 00:17:56.240
She said, thanks for the info. I did try them, and honestly,

283
00:17:56.319 --> 00:17:57.880
they were okay, they were good, but nothing special. I probably

284
00:17:57.920 --> 00:18:02.240
would not get them again. Thanks
for the recommendation, Bailey. Thanks for

285
00:18:02.279 --> 00:18:03.960
getting back to me because I really
appreciate it. As like I said,

286
00:18:04.000 --> 00:18:07.599
let me know what you whether you
like them, and she tried them,

287
00:18:07.680 --> 00:18:11.079
so you know what good for you? Okay, I think this will be

288
00:18:11.079 --> 00:18:12.519
the last one. Don't say my
name. I really hope you read this

289
00:18:12.559 --> 00:18:18.160
email on the podcast. Hello,
first time emailer, long time listener here.

290
00:18:18.200 --> 00:18:22.000
I heard the episode today about writing
and regarding anxiety meds, and funny

291
00:18:22.079 --> 00:18:25.640
enough, I've been meaning to for
the last few weeks. Six weeks ago,

292
00:18:25.680 --> 00:18:30.440
I was prescribed a middle dose of
lexipro for anxiety and panic attacks.

293
00:18:32.079 --> 00:18:37.400
This is an anti to present used
to treat many things such as anxiety depression

294
00:18:37.920 --> 00:18:41.160
OCD, PTSD, etc. I
was terrified to start taking it, but

295
00:18:41.279 --> 00:18:45.920
six weeks later, I can say
it definitely helps. I feel noticeably less

296
00:18:45.960 --> 00:18:49.920
anxious day to day. But I
will say I feel like my personality has

297
00:18:51.000 --> 00:18:55.400
dulled a little bit, not really
happy or sad, which I suppose is

298
00:18:55.440 --> 00:18:59.960
Okay. I was experienced horrible panic
attacks for absolutely no reason. Couldn't even

299
00:19:00.119 --> 00:19:03.000
sleep. I spent three days in
a row awake, and I knew it

300
00:19:03.000 --> 00:19:07.359
was time to get it under control. I was also given xanex four times,

301
00:19:07.359 --> 00:19:10.880
oh four times when it's less severe. I use these to sleep for

302
00:19:10.960 --> 00:19:14.480
three weeks and couldn't sleep without them. I no longer have to take them,

303
00:19:14.480 --> 00:19:17.559
though, as the lex of prose
seems to be working. I was

304
00:19:17.599 --> 00:19:21.079
going to ask if anybody on the
show has had experience with ssryes and into

305
00:19:21.119 --> 00:19:23.519
presence other meds. I faintly remember
Falon talking about them, but I couldn't

306
00:19:23.559 --> 00:19:26.759
remember anyway. Would love to hear
if you guys or even Drake have taken

307
00:19:26.839 --> 00:19:33.759
them. I don't know what other
than I took. What was them?

308
00:19:33.839 --> 00:19:37.599
It was twenty five years ago.
What was the one? It started with

309
00:19:37.640 --> 00:19:41.519
a P Prozac. I took prozac, and I don't think they even really

310
00:19:41.680 --> 00:19:48.319
normally regularly prescribed prozac anymore. I
noticed no effect at all. The Klonopin

311
00:19:48.680 --> 00:19:52.519
was the only thing that I remember
taking. I think there was an option

312
00:19:52.559 --> 00:19:56.400
to take something that you'd take steadily
daily, and I didn't want to do

313
00:19:56.480 --> 00:19:59.519
that one. Jenny, you don't
have to talk about it if you don't

314
00:19:59.519 --> 00:20:02.359
want to. Well, the only
thing I don't remember what it was called,

315
00:20:02.400 --> 00:20:04.200
But like I said, I always
prescribed something my senior year of college,

316
00:20:04.240 --> 00:20:07.519
and it was only to be taken
when I was having major like anxiety.

317
00:20:07.680 --> 00:20:11.599
And the few times I did take
it and never did anything for me.

318
00:20:11.640 --> 00:20:14.279
But I don't I honestly don't remember
what it was called. So that

319
00:20:14.319 --> 00:20:18.039
was the only thing for me.
There are other points in my life that

320
00:20:18.079 --> 00:20:21.400
I wish I would have been prescribed
something that would have helped me. But

321
00:20:22.119 --> 00:20:26.559
yeah, I just that was it
for me. Okay, Drake is in

322
00:20:26.599 --> 00:20:29.039
the other room and he's busy,
so I'm not able to ask him right

323
00:20:29.039 --> 00:20:30.960
now about that. I will say, we've gone longer than we usually do.

324
00:20:32.000 --> 00:20:33.640
But thanks for the emails. I
thought that was very thoughtful. And

325
00:20:33.680 --> 00:20:37.960
there's there's so many people who are, you know, probably walking a line

326
00:20:38.000 --> 00:20:42.000
between do I need medication or I
just need to like get out of my

327
00:20:42.039 --> 00:20:47.400
head? Do I need medication or
I just need to like stop worrying so

328
00:20:47.480 --> 00:20:49.880
much. I think there becomes a
time when you go, I've tried,

329
00:20:51.039 --> 00:20:55.279
and I still can't get out of
my head. I can't stop worrying whatever.

330
00:20:56.480 --> 00:20:59.799
Talk to your doctor, talked to
a therapist about that, because it

331
00:20:59.839 --> 00:21:03.079
is it is helpful and it is
important. But I would say, if

332
00:21:03.119 --> 00:21:07.559
you are depressed, not have depression, or anxious, not have anxiety,

333
00:21:08.119 --> 00:21:14.359
try exercise because it is I've heard
this years ago, and I love this

334
00:21:14.359 --> 00:21:18.359
phrase, this saying if exercise were
in pill form, it would be the

335
00:21:18.400 --> 00:21:25.680
most prescribed medicine in the world because
it is so helpful. Motion equals emotion.

336
00:21:25.720 --> 00:21:27.680
You know what I heard yesterday from
my trainer, Motion equals lotion.

337
00:21:27.720 --> 00:21:32.519
Have you ever heard that before.
No, It's like it loads up your

338
00:21:32.559 --> 00:21:36.599
joint so the more you move.
They had me doing big shoulders stretches because

339
00:21:36.640 --> 00:21:38.319
my shoulders are really tight, and
so they said, yeah, they had

340
00:21:38.319 --> 00:21:41.079
a band and I'd swing the band
back behind my head and do this,

341
00:21:41.759 --> 00:21:45.720
and they said, motion equals lotion. So if you're having trouble, it's

342
00:21:45.799 --> 00:21:48.920
kind of like when you wake up
and you're really really stiff, but you

343
00:21:48.000 --> 00:21:51.920
walk around the house for five minutes
and now you're okay. Yeah, motion

344
00:21:51.960 --> 00:21:56.160
equals lotion. That's all. I've
got anything else to add it. All

345
00:21:56.240 --> 00:22:00.200
Right, that's it for the Minnesota
Goodbye. We will see you back here

346
00:22:00.240 --> 00:22:06.200
