All right, here we go. Oh, we got a bunch of emails
that we had to jump into once the first one clicked on says, hey,
Jenny and Fallon. I was just curious how Jack's interview and lyric shuffle.
How did it go? Please share XO XO bestie M. I think
it went well. Yeah, I mean, neither of you like stuttered at
all. You pretty pretty. I mean you maybe with easy ones, I
will. I mean, of course I did, because there was no way
I was gonna come with something like well, actually the first word that came
into mind was watermelon, and you probably would know watermelon sugar right away.
But no, I didn't want Jack's to be put on the spot and like
make her look bad obviously, so of course I gave like pretty easy one
asks. But you never know when you're on the spot like that. You
just don't know if you freeze, even if they are easy. She is
also just um, she was the friendliest of every artist there, and that's
not a knock on anyone else. She is beyond overly friendly, like goes
up to every single person, chats with them, hugs them, shake their
hand, whatever it is, and she's a nice person. I think this
was probably one of the bigger concerts she's performed at because you could just see
like how insanely excited she was. And then when she got brought on stage
with Full Rider to perform wild Ones, there was a moment where she literally
like kind of squeezes her hand and does this like scream, like a silent
scream, like, oh my god, I can't believe I'm doing this with
full right now. And so you could just see how humble and appreciative she
is of everything that's going on in her life right now. She's a delight.
Okay, next email, Hey, fally be oh, I like,
I rarely get emails directed to me, so let's see how this goes.
Okay, I'm a longtime listener, thirty two year old dude, so not
your target demographic necessarily, but a huge fan of the show and always in
the mood for a fallon cackle. Well, maybe I'll give you one before
this is over. I'm a little behind on the podcast, so forgive me,
but I just listened to the last couple of shows from bart while Day
was out for vacation for a few days. I don't normally write in,
but I felt strongly like I should give this feedback. I promise this turns
into a compliment, so bear with me. Oh god, how's it going
to stop? All right? I'll be honest. When Dave used to leave
and it was just you and Steve carrying the show, it was unlistenable.
I know you've talked about that before and the Minnesota Goodbye, about how for
some reason you two just didn't work even though your chemistry was great without Dave,
it was just awkward. So I've made a habit of skipping ahead on
the podcast on the days that Dave isn't there. So we have talked about
this, Steve and I. It's so funny. We are such good friends.
We text each other almost every day. We try to meet for because
you will ask us all the time, like do you still talk to Steve
all the time? We give you. We we have so many inside jokes
and know things that only maybe you know experiences only we have that. We
just have endless amounts of ridiculous things. We text each other. We try
to see each other, I'd say every two to three months for like a
lunch. YEA, so great chemistry is Steve when he was here on the
show, with Dave. But when Dave was gone, it was fucking awful.
It was fucking awful, and I admitted it. Steve admitted it.
We would get fresher with each other and you could like hear it on the
air because it just it was funny because I actually had better chemistry with like
a night guy who would come in sometimes if Steve was out, like over
the holidays. It was just a weird thing. I don't know what it
is, but I just have a more natural chemistry with Jenny, so anyway
that it's not a knock on Steve, yeah, and knock on me.
We like we just some people just don't. That's the thing. You cannot
just have chemistry with any person. And you know that if you've ever dated,
you know it could be someone who could be friends with, but you
just don't have dating chemistry. Okay, back to the email that, let's
see how this turns out. Well, I've listened the last few days and
it's a world of difference. I don't think it's all because it features like
Jenny necessarily or Steve, but I think you've grown into the role and are
more comfortable carrying the show now. There used to be a pannock. I
still have it. I have it, but I know exactly what you're talking
about, where it felt like there couldn't be a moment of silence and it
was rushed and just weird. Dude, you are nailing this okay, but
there's a noticeable difference, and you sound so much more relaxed and like yourself
now when you're running the show. Bottom line, I hear by swear to
no longer skip the show just because Davis out. You're an extremely talented host
and I look forward to many more years of listening, and I know someday
you'll have a successful show of your own. After Jenny in the Morning Zoo
ends. Obviously, thank you, Garrett. I could say I could use
his name everything. Garrett, you are an observant person, because that is
another thing. I absolutely was panicked, And I would like to say the
show also sounds better, yes, because of Jenny. Because Jenny runs the
board. I don't, and what that means is she's the one that pushes
the buttons and makes things go smoothly. But I would panic, and I
still do sometimes kind of pull the curtain back, you know, if like
a bit isn't going well, or something. It is a very different feeling
if you're the one leading the show. So I know like how Dave probably
feels if a bit is going bad, you like it falls. It feels
like it falls on your shoulders. You feel bad because your job's entertain and
if it's not going well, you feel like, oh, obviously it wasn't
entertaining. So I will. I still do get panicky, but I do
think I have calmed a lot. Yeah, so, but that is anyway
that Garrett your email, thank you for sending that in the title of it
was all grown up. Thank you, We try man. Okay, Hey
Dave in the morning show team. I hope this isn't just for Dave by
the way, because yeah, I'll be back on Friday Friday next week,
which I'm off Friday, I have to go to Florida from my nephew's graduation.
I wanted to bring something up I heard in your Minnesota Goodbye podcast when
you mentioned the woman who found out her husband was having sex with men.
Her story very much focused on needing to get a full STI panel and highly
focused on ensuring that she did not have one and made sure all were checked.
For now, I definitely believe that sexual health is highly important. However,
it is also important to note that this is not exclusive to men who
have sex with men, and I believe that was a big focus on that
email and the responses. This is also something that has fostered oppression in the
gay community for decades that those outside of the community may not realize or may
just subconsciously jump immediately toward. For example, when it has found out that
heterosexual couples are cheating like war, the roses STI panels are not immediately jumped
to. I think that this is just something that bothered me being a member
of the community and have dealt with this particular type of oppression over decades.
Bobby, I don't remember that email, but I believe you and I'm so
sorry if that like, I don't, Yeah, I apologize. You're right
because usually when we bring up roses at the end, it's kind of a
quick wrap up, so we definitely don't talk about like STI panels and stuff.
But you have a very valid point. I did see this yesterday and
I thought it was so amazing. I think it was glad that posted that
finally they are going to start allowing people of the LGBTQA community to go I
believe actually might just be I guess technically gay men to go donate blood.
Now, Oh I did see that too. You're right. For years and
years they have not been allowed to and it's been insane, and now they're
like, oh right, we can ask them the same questions we ask straight
people and allow them to donate blood. So I thought that was a really
amazing thing I saw yesterday. Let's see this is I don't okay, So
what's the story with Benjamin? Okay? How is he related to the show?
How long has he been a part of it? Okay? Speaking of
he is going to be on the show today, which if you listen to
this after the show, you'll have to listen to the podcast to hear him.
But he's going to host a mixtape game today. I don't know how
Benjamin. It's funny because Benjamin, and he knows better than I do.
I think he's just an outgoing person who probably emailed or called the show.
We loved his energy and for some reason we were like, let's have Benjamin
in one day. Yep. And I don't know when. This was probably
at least five years ago. I think it was even longer than that,
because you guys were already friends with him. And then we did this very
weird contest where people had to come in and do like a strip dance to
like on a pole, to like songs that you wouldn't strip too. We're
songs to stripped, Yeah, and Benjamin did that. And then he also
was in our talent show for the State Fair and that was probably six years
ago, I want to say, ye, so, and you guys were
already friends with him before that, so it's been a long time. It's
been a little while. So really his relation to the show is just that
he's highly entertaining and sometimes we'll be like, oh, we should bring someone
in, and so we'll be like, Nerdy is another person we really like.
It's just someone in the community that like, we think sounds good on
the radio. And Benjamin's good too because he's proactive and he'll reach out to
us and be like, hey, here's a new game. I thought of,
what do you guys think of this? Right? And then I have
become friends with him outside of work. We don't hang out all the time,
but occasionally they say continue with their email. You've done a bit before
called what does that listener look like? And I feel the same about Benjamin.
What does he look like? I need to see a face to match
the voice. I would love to see a selfie from him on your socials
if he's willing. Sorry for the long email, but YO girl needs answers.
So I note I had a dream last night that fallon and I took
a road trip to Indiana a lot of curd but I won't bore you with
details. Kisses. First of all, if it was a real dream a
reality, I would have slept on that road trip and I would have been
the worst passenger. We usually do post a selfie with Benjamin, so check
today on The Dave Ryan in the Morning Show Instagram. Yeah, we'll put
one on ours to story. Yeah, and I tagged him yesterday, so
if you click on the tag then you can see what it looks like.
Well, the Benjamin is a good time we joke though he can't be on
the show regularly because he's funnier than all of us. Yeah. Next email,
do you guys get to pick which companies you advertise for or are they
just assigned to you? I've used zero res squeezed juice Cleanse, and Arthur's
Jewelers because of you guys, and I was super happy with all three.
So nice work. Are you able to turn down working with a company if
you don't want to work with them? I'm not sure if this is interesting
to talk about, but I was curious how it worked. Happy Friday,
Rebecca, Jenny, you want to talk about it. Yeah, we absolutely
can turn down something, and we do turn down things because we don't want
to be frauds and endorse something that doesn't represent us. So, for example,
I was approached by a liposuction company and I'm never going to do liposuction,
and so I was like, I don't think that this is a good
fit for me because you tell them about me, get out of here.
So I was like, no, I'm sorry, I'm not going to do
this because I'm not going to actually go with a procedure like this. And
there are people in the building who have done it and it worked well for
them, but it just wasn't something that I was going to do. So
it was probably one of the very few endorsements I've said no too, because
we usually work with amazing advertisers here, but I just never wanted to do
something that doesn't represent something that aligns with who I am as a person.
Sure, but yeah, we get to choose if we want to work with
someone or not. Yeah, and they're obviously we are in the business of
making money like every business, so they really want you to work if they
find someone willing to advertise, they really want to find someone. But I'm
like, the only one I really say no to is any weight loss diet
stuff. I do work kind of like social with Lifetime, but that to
me is like that's promoting healthy lifestyle, but like I don't do. A
long time ago, I was like, I'm not doing diet stuff anymore.
So that's like kind of my main No. Yeah, other than that,
I'm pretty open to things. And they kind of know us our sales department.
They know like, Okay, Jenny has a new home, maybe this
new roofing company would be good for her. Falon has a baby, maybe
this, like you know, this would be good for her. So they
kind of angle it like that for us. But also thank you so much
for trying the things we've recommended. Yeah, and I'm so happy you had
good experiences. I knew you'd have a good experience at Arthur's Jake literally said
to me the other day. I was like, I was driving home.
I was like, they're so nice, and he goes Falon even if you
didn't endorse, so I'd go to him because I've had such a good experience.
And I was like, that is like high praise. Yeah, that's
awesome, very nice. All right, Dave that one specifically today, So
I'm not going to read that one to him. Okay, So I don't
have any more emails right now, but I was going to tell you,
Jenny, Yeah, I learned something in therapy yesterday and I have to apply
it. So you get the idea first, and then it's it takes me
to time. So I have worked on various things and relationships and boundaries and
that's like boundaries is like the key word for me through my therapy. So
I'm working on different relationships, but one that I've openly talked about is my
mom, and I feel like our relationships has been a little bit better the
past month or so. But she said something to me yesterday and I thought
it was very interesting and I think that this could apply to a lot of
people. So she was asking me, like, what what feelings do you
have when you see your mom, why are you getting them? Like?
What are what do you think is like quote unquote triggering those So I'm going
through and I'm talking about these different things and I get off on a tangent
about how I get stressed out thinking about my mom when she's older and what
like she has no money. Am I going to have to pay all this
money every month to help her live in a nice place because my mom will
be like, nope, just put me in a state place. And I'm
like, I can't. I can't just let you go, like I would
feel awful, blah blah blah. So she stopped me and she said,
you need to stop shooting all over your mother. And I said, okay,
what does that mean you know? And she said, your mother's communicating
to you that is good enough for her. So what in your brain is
telling you it's not. That's not her. That is a you problem.
You are saying you should want a better place, You should want to do
X y Z, you should want to live a life like that. You
need to stop shooting on your mom. Allow her to be herself. Set
boundaries with your mom, but allow her to be the person she is and
live the life she has chosen and set boundaries. And I was like,
and I started thinking about it, and I said, well that's and I
go, I'm also just thinking of so far in the future, like why
am I letting that like bother me? But I thought that would be something
maybe to look and word for. I'm obviously not a license therapist, but
if you have someone that you have a complicated relationship, what is the hold
up? What is bothering you about them? Maybe it's like you're thinking they
should be doing xy x y Z. But you can only do so much
for someone, right and if that's they're they're happy living that life, you
need to allow them their own autonomy, as she said, and just make
sure you set up boundaries to protect yourself, but stop shooting on them.
And I thought that was like I was like, okay, I feel like
I've learned the guy. I was like, I'm gonna pass that along on
on the podcast tomorrow. That's interesting. I like that a lot. She's
so smart. Oh, I know, she sounds like I never met someone
like this person. And I've been like actively practicing some of the things,
and I have felt a sense of freedom lately on a couple of things that
have been really amazing because of it. And she I told Jenny earliergo she
said that I don't need to see her every other week. We're pushing it.
So my next to my see her is June eight, So I'm like,
look at that. She's so proud of me. I'm getting better out
of you too, because sometimes you just like go to therapists and after a
while you kind of fizzle out and you don't necessarily like get a ton out
of it. But yes, you've gotten so much out of this, so
much. I could write so many things now. And I will say this,
A lot of people ask me for her since I'm actively using her.
I don't recommend her right now, but maybe in the future once, like
if when our time is done. But I hope that my best advice is
like maybe check out like a like ask a friend, because I feel like
that's how I found her was through a friend recommended her. But Phil Freddy
sent emails. It's just me and Jenny next Monday through Thursday. Ryan Show
