We're gonna start off with we got an email from a doctor who is a
surgeon who said that they will remove Jenny's skin tag because Jenny's got a skin
tag. And we're going to read that on the radio tomorrow and see if
we can get Would you be willing to have a real genuine surgeon remove your
skin tag? Absolutely, if she's doing it for free. Okay, good,
I mean, I hopefully because Jenny. Even the doctor said, I
know, Jenny's cheap, and that's one of the reasons why very cheap.
It's under your right arm, and it's the size of a pumpkin seed.
How oh gosh, it's smaller than that tictac tops tiktag. Okay, not
too bad. Here we go, Rain writes in Jenny in the Morning Zoo
featuring Dave Ha ha Ha. A month or two ago, Jenny recommended the
podcast Too Hot Takes, which is hosted by a Minnesota woman who moved to
la Each episode is about an hour and a half and it's been on since
twenty twenty one. You remember this, Jenny, Yes, So they're local
and it's such a weird tie in. I met them at the Minnesota State
Fair two or three summers ago, and actually they grew up listening I think.
And the woman is now engaged to a guy who she bought a cameo
of You Dave, wishing the guy a happy birthday one year because he is
a huge fan of the show. So we actually kind of have a tie
to Two Hot Takes on top of the fact that they're from Minnesota, they
like know of the show, and I've met them before. That is super
cool. I'm really flattered by that. Anyway, I binged on about half
of the podcast. At this point, she mentioned how obsessed her fiance is
with Daveep. He comes on the show frequently and will quote Dave like it's
better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have
it Dave Ryan, and it makes me chuckle every time. So he comes
on their podcast and quotes me. Yep. So it's her podcast, and
she has like kind of the same rotating people on because they read crazy wild
stories from Reddit and then they do their hot takes. That's why it's called
two Hot Takes. So her fiance is on quite often with her as like
the other person with their hot take. Yeah, and it must be a
decently big podcast. That's huge. It's actually blown up quite a bit.
She started it during COVID time and it is one of those podcasts that took
off and they're doing super well. And I believe she used to do something
else full time and then the podcast said so well, so I'm pretty sure
that's like her full time gig now and then wow, fiance. I might
get this wrong, but he does something really cool for like Disney, like
some kind of animation stuff. I'm not even entirely positive, but they live
out in La. I got to look for it really quick, too.
Hot takes. Is that what it's called? Yep, hot there it is.
It pops up right away, Two hot takes there it is Morgan ab
sure sound And you can tell how many views they've got and that type of
thing by the number of reviews. Okay, they've got five, seven hundred
and eight reviews. Yeah that's a lot. That's a shit ton of reviews.
So wow, that is really really cool. I'm looking to see if
her so there's Morgan anyway, it's called two hot takes. I wonder how
many of view do we? I don't think we look up on the podcast
app our the Minnesota Goodbye. Can we can look up how many listens The
thing is is I think the way it works is it accumulates, so it'll
say how many listens it's gotten over the course of the podcast. I'm not
entirely sure, but I'll look right now, all right. While you're doing
that, I am scrolling through the Minnesota Goodbye podcasts, and so we average
about five thousand downloads a day. Really, and that's a lot. It
is. Wow. I didn't know that. And we've got millions of downloads.
But that's over the course of the entire life of the podcast. Ye.
So, but yeah, it's about five thousand a day day. Yeah.
Wow, it blows my mind, Jenny, I really thought it was
like a few hundred or a few thousand, like a thousand. Wow.
Okay, here we go. She goes on to say, or their name
is Rain. I don't know what their gender is. I have an observation,
Dave gets sillier when Drake is on the air with him. I wonder
if it's because Drake is Carson's age and it's a bonding thing. Any thoughts.
I don't know. Drake is fun to be silly with. Yeah,
you're fun to be silly with two. But I think when we all get
together it's like three brats all trying to like one up each other, so
completely unrelated. But I have a random question. Whatever happened to Cassie?
I want to say she was on the air after Filthy Foley and before Lena.
Was it just a fever dream? Lol? Anyway, I love y'all,
wouldn't be mad if I got a stick her. I will send you
one. Cassie is you know? I don't want to insult Cassie. She
didn't work out. She was on the show for a short time. Delightful
person, good person, and I knew she was a good person. We
hired her when Corey left, and we knew we were taking a bit of
a chance. But she was very delightful and wonderful, and I knew that
she was a good person because you just could tell. But I remember one
time we were doing a show from Los Angeles and she said, well,
I'm going to call us a cab to the airport before the days of Uber
And she did not ask me to do it for her, which most people
in her situation would have assumed, Well, it's your show, you call
the cab. So she called the cab. She looked it up on the
internet with the cab number, and she's like, yeah, cab is on
its way. I gotta taken care of it. I thought you didn't have
to do that. You're a good person. She was a good person.
She just didn't work out. Yeah, probably not just the best fit.
And she was before Lena. Then right, what it was? Okay,
got it? Yeah. I hope she's doing well. I don't know what
she's up to these days. Next one, I'd like to stay anonymous.
Catching up on the Minnesota Goodbye and came across a listener who wrote about how
their grandma passed away and was looking for a sign for comfort. I have
a story of my own I'd like to share. My father recently passed away
earlier this year. We didn't have the traditional father and son relationship. Long
story short. Ever since the service, I've never gone back to visit him
where we laid him to rest. A few weeks ago, my wife convinced
me to visit, and when I was there, I spoke my heart out
of how much regret I had. Oh my god, I'm going to make
me tear up. I should have called him more, told him I love
him more, and how much I miss him, stuff like that. I
didn't think much of it after, but later that night I saw my dad
in my dream. He was telling me, oh my god, Jenny,
I'm gonna lose it. He was telling me how happy he was that I
decided to visit him. He was telling me how much he misses us kids,
and how much he loves and wishes that he had been a more loving
father. I woke up crying uncontrollably. I took that as a sign that
his spirit is always with us, and I heard what he said, Sorry
for bringing the house down, your fellow dart lick. Okay, thank you.
You made me smile a little bit. If you guys have any staff
writer stickers, I would love to have one. Will you absolutely deserve one.
If you make Dave cry, you get a stickery wow searing up a
teeny bed here, Okay, thank you. Next one wrote in a few
weeks ago, asking who Bailey was. I was in Spain for two weeks
and I missed who she was. I haven't had time to go back and
listen to what I missed from the show, but I have caught up on
mg Oh Minnesota goodbye. I'm not sure if my ewos missed her somehow I
missed it. Okay, so let's talk about Bailey for a minute. It's
hard to describe why she's on the show. But Bailey is somebody that I
know that does improv and she's in theater. And I know that Bailey's funny
on the radio because we've had her on before to talk about her woes of
dating boys, and she was actually very funny. And then when we need
somebody when Jenny's out, so it's not just two bros hanging out, Me
and Drake, we want a woman, the female presence. So I said,
well, Bailey is kind of a natural because she's done improv and she's
done theater. And I go back to that's what made Lena so good is
because she did improv and she did theater, and people that do that are
kind of naturals because they get that. A lot of our job isn't just
like, you know, say whatever your comes to your mind. You've got
to perform. You got to edit yourself a little bit. You've got to
listen while the other person's talking, you've got to respond to what they say.
And she in improv was a natural for that. So that's why a
lot of the time, when we have somebody on who's like, you should
have me on because I'm the funniest one in our friend group. Well,
that doesn't always work on the radio. Yeah, you might be great at
telling a story. I have certain friends that are so so funny, but
if they were to have to like converse back and forth with other people to
make it entertaining, it might not go as great. There is a skill
set for what we do, and it seems really natural because it comes really
natural to us. And I don't even mind having a conversation with myself.
I mean a lot of the time, I'll you know, if you're in
the bathroom or Drake is busy or whatever, I will get on and talk
just by myself. And I'm perfectly comfortable having a conversation with myself. I
don't answer myself, but I can talk for a long time with just me.
But that is not something that that's kind of a skill set. She
goes on to say, Jenny was talking about her skin tag in her armpits.
Same girl. I wonder if it comes with age anyway. I've got
recurring skin tags in my armpits as well. Two or three times a year.
I use applesider vinegar to remove them at home, pain free and not
going to the doctor. Soaked down cotton in applesider vinegar, placed it on
the skin tag for thirty minutes daily, twice a day. Gone after seven
or nine days, doesn't hurt or bleed. Google says the acidity of the
apple sider vinegar breaks down the tissue, causing it to fall off. Oo.
I will just say not to get into more details of my skin tag,
because I think we have just really I know, I go, mine
is something I've had my whole life, and there's like a portion to me
that is questioning. Actually if it could be like a mole mixed with a
skin tag, so there might be a situation there where it's very different than
just like a skin tag that appeared out of nowhere. Because my dad has
a lot of skin tags and a genetic thing, he's developed them throughout the
years. But this is something I've had my entire life. Okay, so
not an age related thing. No, Okay, gotcha. I'd like to
and they go on really interesting. I'd like to add that I hope at
this day and age with the comfortability and of sexuality and non shaming that most
women should know size does not matter. Because we talked about the guy with
the micro penis the other day, and I said, I hate when people
make fun of guys with a micro penis, because what a fucking awful thing
to go through life with knowing that it's like the last thing that you can
laugh at. Yeah, his dick is real small. Ha ha ha ha
ha, And I thought, what about the poor guy that's got the small
penis? How awful that is. She says, size does not matter.
There are fingers, sex toys and tongues for a reason. Am I right?
She goes on to ask, and I think I want to save this
for Naughty Tuesday. Okay, because somebody asked the other day. They said,
can you when you do the Minnesota Goodbye, can you save the dirty
stuff for later in the show. I can't make that promise, but I
think they listen with their kids, yeah, and they don't want to hear
the dirty stuff. So maybe when we ever were doing something kind of naughty
we preface it with a little warning. Yeah, maybe maybe we do,
but let's save this for Naughty Tuesday. It asks this question. Have you
ever had a sexual partner with a unique or interesting fetish or someone who asks
you to do something weird during sex? Maybeka, Maybe I was the one
that asked him to do something weird. Anyway, your bff and staff writer
from Shattek, Wisconsin can't wait for the sticker. Is it sit attack or
shit it? How do you say attack? I knew two guys from there
that I went to the U of M with Okay, I might be wrong,
though, I'm gonna pin that to the top, so we'll get to
it next week. This one says, dang it forgot to sign off with
the staff writer. Could I pretty please have a sticker? Love you the
most? And that is from staff writer Mary Anne and Blaine. Your sticker
is on its way. I sat at the kitchen counter last night and hand
addressed another fifteen or twenty staff sticker the stickers to send out and here is
her email. Uh, this is for the girl who is struggling with trying
to figure out if she wants to have another child when her step son is
fifteen years old already. Do you remember this email? Do you? It
was probably last week? But yeah, yep, I had my first child
at nineteen, never planned to have anymore. Welp, as life does,
it throws you a curveball. I got pregnant when my first son was twelve
and immediately embraced it. Planned to have another one, immediately got the diapers,
bottles, bullshit, getting up in the middle of the night, all
the gross stuff out of the way, all at once. I did not
want to have two kids so far apart. So my oldest son is now
thirty four, just about his first house. I was able to help with
that. My second child is my only daughter, she's twenty two. My
third child is his second son. He is twenty second and third or only
nineteen months apart. Girl, The days go by slow and the years go
by fast. There is nothing I'm more grateful for than having my children.
Not only do they keep you young. I was at the State Fair this
year with my daughter, niece and nephew, and I came up and imitated
Drake and my best shaggy voice, and Dave played it on the air Monday
and said, this lady came up to imitate Drake. Maybe she was thirty
four or so, thirty five or so. I immediately texted in saying I'm
fifty three. I one hundred percent Mary Anne, absolutely remember you because that
cracked me up. Well. We also at first we were like, is
she kind of weird? Like we didn't realize she was doing the impression of
Drake. And then I was like and then I said, wait a second,
is that your impression of Drake? She's like yeah. I was like,
OK, I got it. I'll never forget you. You were so
funny and it took such balls to walk up to three people and do that
impression. That was so funny. Having children fills your heart with the love
you never knew you had. When you're young and have a child, the
struggle is real. When you have your feet on the ground, got some
dough you can share, it's a whole different world. I'm now a grandma
of three. We are empty nesters. I love when my kids come home
and immediately look in my fridge. I want to give them all I have.
I don't regret one fucking second. Just for reference, I got married
when I was nineteen. Divorced that guy, great guy, but not for
me. My second husband, who was a POS and had my second and
third with him. Now on my third marriage, been together twenty years,
we got six kids collectively, three for him, three for me. Like
Nike said, just do it. Love you, Dave, Jenny Drake more
than you know, xoxo, Mary Anne. Just do it. I'm going
to live my life by that. Now. Just do it, Just do
it, whatever, just do it, Just do it. And I totally
respect that some people just don't want kids. We did a story yesterday about
celebrities that don't want kids, and they talked about why they don't want kids.
I will tell you when you say the girls guys go by slow.
The days go by slow, but the years go by fast. I am
just flabbergasted sometimes that not that long ago I had a little boy, and
not terribly long ago I was changing diapers, and now those years have flown
by. They do seem like a blur, But while you're in there,
they do not fly by. The days go by slow. But then I
find myself now looking around an empty house and looking in Carson's bedroom. And
I don't go in Carson's bedroom and sit on his bed and cry. I'm
not that way. But I look in his bedroom once in a while and
I'm like, I can't believe he is grown and moved out, and he
is not just college moved out or they come home during the summer. He
is moved out, and he'll come and visit at Thanksgiving and Christmas. But
he doesn't live at home anymore. And I said that to Susan a couple
of weeks ago, and she started to cry, and she's like, stop
it, and I'm like, well, he doesn't. He doesn't live at
home anymore. But it is true. It is flabbergasting to look around my
house and go, they're all grown up. How did that happen? How
do they all grow up? It's crazy? Thank Mary Anne. And I
think I have one more. Oh yeah, that is from the surgeon that
wants to take off your skin tag. Oh okay, so we'll move on
to the next one. Please don't say my name. This is a little
bit deeper, so we'll get into this one. I got married September of
last year. For my wedding, my dad gave a speech. I know
people always say speeches are the worst part of the wedding, but they've always
been a favorite of mine. I love hearing the stories they have to share,
and it's always so touching. My dad is not a public speaker.
He gave a speech about ten years ago for my sister's wedding, his stepdaughter,
and it was really sweet. He did a great job for mine.
I knew he was nervous, but I was excited to hear what he had
to say because he basically raised me by himself. I have a complicated history
and three moms, all of which were there. I asked him to keep
them all out of the speech. That was my one request for the speech.
He started off well talking about how I was a sweet little girl,
but quickly shifted to how I was a nightmare in high school and was only
managing me manageable because of my quote forever mom aka my stepmom and now his
wife. We've never used the term forever mom for her, and I was
kind of shocked that he chose to say this, especially as I asked him
not to. We also found out that most of my behavior as a child
was due to undiagnosed mental illness that now requires multiple medications, so hearing him
talk about that at that point in my life seemed unfair and just deployed to
praise his wife. That's what I was thinking. I'm gonna guess that the
wife probably got together and said you need to mention me. I deserve to
be mentioned. I'm going to guess there was something like that in there.
The rest of the speech was a full page Bible passage that was really just
a lecture because I'm not religious like my parents. A verse or two is
fine, but it went on for literally five minutes. I have a pretty
decent relationship with my dad, but I'm absolutely heartbroken by the speech he gave
over a year ago, and I think about it almost daily. Do I
bring it up to him how disappointed I am in his speech? Or do
I just let it go? And if I do, tell him, how
do I do it? Sorry, it's long, no need for a sticker.
Just looking for advice. My first instinct is to say no, don't
say anything. But if it heals your heart, then maybe you need to.
That's how I thought too. I probably wouldn't bring it up, but
man, if it's something that's weighing on you, how long ago did she
say? This was a year? Yeah, it might be something that you
have to bring up eventually so that you can just get the conversation over with.
But you have to be prepared for it to not go like in your
favor, like if he defends your step mom or something and is like,
well I did this because of this, and then you take that personally even
more than what the speech was. You know, I absolutely agree. I
got time for one more. Liz, a regular supporter of the show,
listening to the Minnesota Goodbye from today, and the person that corrected you about
the pronunciation of you g H came off a little pretentious and clearly has never
seen Charlie Brown. I pronounced it ug when I say it, because that's
how the Peanuts characters say it. She said it's pronounced uugh, and I've
always said ug. So she includes a clip and I'm not sure that I'll
be able to play it, but let me try. You might be able
to hear it out of the speaker. Let me just see how it works
here. Hold on, okay, So they definitely say ug. Yeah,
and you're right about that. That is it for the Minnesota Goodbye. We
are out of time. Thank you. Send your emails to Ryan Show at
