WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.400 --> 00:00:03.480 Well, Bailey's doing the Minnesota Goodbye with me today. You've done it before 2 00:00:03.480 --> 00:00:06.719 a couple of times. You have, yes, talk to me about your 3 00:00:06.719 --> 00:00:11.759 first day. Let's get deeply emotional and intimate with your first day. How 4 00:00:11.759 --> 00:00:15.240 do you feel? Be vulnerable and tell me all about your first day, 5 00:00:15.679 --> 00:00:18.800 your first real day, first real day. Because can I say that I 6 00:00:18.839 --> 00:00:21.960 started earlier technically, but yeah, sure, yeah, of course, yeah, 7 00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:27.760 technically I started on Tuesday, but I was just sitting off camera and 8 00:00:27.839 --> 00:00:30.960 doing my onboarding stuff. I still have so much of that to do. 9 00:00:31.039 --> 00:00:33.520 Stoof, What is the onboarding? What is that all about? Like it's 10 00:00:33.799 --> 00:00:36.600 it's like the little videos that you watch. It's Ryan C. Christy's like, 11 00:00:36.719 --> 00:00:41.359 welcome to iHeartRadio. We're so happy to have you here and we can't 12 00:00:41.399 --> 00:00:44.359 wait. But first, let me tell you about the benefits that you have. 13 00:00:44.560 --> 00:00:46.840 Oh really? Yeah, okay, I've never had to watch one of 14 00:00:46.840 --> 00:00:50.079 those. They didn't the video had not been invented when I started here. 15 00:00:50.359 --> 00:00:54.920 I learned a lot about like licensing and like that I can't play however many 16 00:00:54.920 --> 00:00:57.560 songs in a row. Whatever. I learned some of that stuff. They 17 00:00:57.640 --> 00:01:00.439 still have a lot more to learn. There's a lot to do still, 18 00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:03.680 So I did that the last two days. But then today obviously, like 19 00:01:04.120 --> 00:01:08.000 man, I woke up at four am. I was like up and thought, 20 00:01:08.239 --> 00:01:11.319 I'll go back to sleep. No, I won't, so the jolted 21 00:01:11.359 --> 00:01:14.920 out of bed. But then I had plenty of time to go and get 22 00:01:14.959 --> 00:01:19.519 donuts for everybody. And I'm the only one who wait mine. It's fine. 23 00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:23.760 You're very sweet to get donuts. I's so appreciated it, so nice. 24 00:01:23.760 --> 00:01:26.920 I ate a giant t Rex cookie last night after I ate a ton 25 00:01:26.959 --> 00:01:30.079 of meat loaf and pizza. It was the worst I'd been so good to 26 00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:36.000 eat. And then I had that warner to your rush corker. So you 27 00:01:36.079 --> 00:01:38.599 brought donuts in this morning and my stomach, my stomach said hail, no, 28 00:01:38.719 --> 00:01:42.239 absolute, I can save them for later though, yeah, you can 29 00:01:42.319 --> 00:01:45.519 and enjoy them. I love it. I just wanted to bring them so 30 00:01:45.519 --> 00:01:49.079 I could suck up a little bit because that's necessary. Well, I'm going 31 00:01:49.120 --> 00:01:53.200 to tell you I'm really I'm really happy you're here because I think that you 32 00:01:53.239 --> 00:01:57.200 know, I mean, there's there's a point in a show where you need 33 00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:01.200 more input, but you I don't want too many. There's some radio shows 34 00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:06.359 that have nine people nine, and it's like, God, you can't keep 35 00:02:06.400 --> 00:02:08.479 track of them, and that they sound too much alike. It's distracting. 36 00:02:10.159 --> 00:02:14.240 And you know, we I mean, we can get along with as few 37 00:02:14.280 --> 00:02:17.560 as two. But the problem is there's so many things that we do on 38 00:02:17.599 --> 00:02:23.199 the show that other radio shows don't do. We're constantly putting phone calls on 39 00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:25.680 the air. We need somebody screen phone calls. We're doing live videos, 40 00:02:25.719 --> 00:02:30.759 so somebody needs to run the camera. We need more help, like answering 41 00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:35.639 social media, like you know, because Facebook and Instagram always say engage with 42 00:02:35.680 --> 00:02:39.199 people who engage with you, yes, because it's more engaging, And we 43 00:02:39.520 --> 00:02:44.680 just literally don't always have time. And I look at my Instagram DM sometimes 44 00:02:44.719 --> 00:02:47.080 and I don't have time to answer them, and I feel like, you 45 00:02:47.080 --> 00:02:50.919 know, my thing is, if you care enough about this show to send 46 00:02:50.919 --> 00:02:55.400 me a DM, you absolutely deserve a response. And I feel bad because 47 00:02:55.439 --> 00:03:00.439 sometimes I look at them and there's like thirty new dms. Oh yeah, 48 00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:02.639 and I don't have time to answer them. You're so popular. So and 49 00:03:02.680 --> 00:03:07.080 then I sit there on the couch while I'm watching TV with Susan answering dms, 50 00:03:07.479 --> 00:03:13.439 and it's like I should be present, not answering dms, and that's 51 00:03:13.439 --> 00:03:15.800 why I got hired, so I can answer your DMS for you. Also, 52 00:03:15.919 --> 00:03:19.360 I need you to get a list of things I needed to do perfect. 53 00:03:19.400 --> 00:03:21.960 Yeah, what else? What else you got? I did some pottery. 54 00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:23.919 I need you to go pick up my pottery project. My dry cleaning's 55 00:03:23.960 --> 00:03:28.400 ready over at Pilgrim. Ok. I need to pick up my new contacts 56 00:03:28.439 --> 00:03:34.240 down at Southwest Eye Care. Oil change over at Valvelene Instant oil change. 57 00:03:34.319 --> 00:03:38.000 You can do that. Yeah. Page two. Call my sister Linda. 58 00:03:38.039 --> 00:03:40.599 It's her birthday today. Let me hear you do your best Dave impression. 59 00:03:42.439 --> 00:03:46.719 Hey, Linda, it's Dave. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Carson, 60 00:03:46.800 --> 00:03:47.879 my boy, he's doing good. He's in China. Oh yeah, you 61 00:03:47.919 --> 00:03:52.599 gotta call Carson too. You know he's got a run. Happy birthday. 62 00:03:52.800 --> 00:03:57.560 He's in uh he's in Wuhan, China, where the pandemic started. Anyway, 63 00:03:58.520 --> 00:04:01.400 I'm so glad you're here. I'm so glad we could finally have vont 64 00:04:01.560 --> 00:04:05.400 Is a He is a gem, is what he is, and he is 65 00:04:05.759 --> 00:04:11.599 one of the hardest working people, almost obsessively works on the show. And 66 00:04:12.520 --> 00:04:15.360 you know that's sometimes kind of what it takes. So I invite you, 67 00:04:15.400 --> 00:04:18.519 Bailey to obsessively work on the show. Perfect can't wait. Let's get started 68 00:04:18.519 --> 00:04:23.199 with the Minnesota goodbye emails and see what we get. The first thing, 69 00:04:23.560 --> 00:04:27.480 first one says, don't use my name. I mean seriously, ha ha, 70 00:04:28.800 --> 00:04:32.079 Dave, reflecting upon your statement that nobody ever does anything for you and 71 00:04:32.160 --> 00:04:39.839 Susan h did that ever strike a chord? We had this conversation yesterday, 72 00:04:39.839 --> 00:04:43.600 I think on the Minnesota Goodbye and I forget what brought it up, but 73 00:04:44.079 --> 00:04:46.879 I think it was that people all Oh, I know what it was. 74 00:04:46.959 --> 00:04:49.279 There was a kind of a friend of mine who sent me a text, 75 00:04:49.720 --> 00:04:55.399 and she is a wonderful person, but she said, hey, I'm forming 76 00:04:55.399 --> 00:04:59.879 a street street cleanup team at work. Oh yeah, and I want to 77 00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:04.360 know how you put it together and how long it takes and how much time 78 00:05:04.399 --> 00:05:08.560 we should whatever, and can you write me back or call me and spend 79 00:05:08.560 --> 00:05:11.959 some time telling me your tips? And I talked about I said, no, 80 00:05:12.040 --> 00:05:17.040 I'm not going to I cannot serve one more person. I just can't. 81 00:05:17.600 --> 00:05:21.319 And I mean it's the wrong week for it. And I said, 82 00:05:21.920 --> 00:05:26.920 you know, there's a lot that we do for other people, but people 83 00:05:26.959 --> 00:05:30.720 don't do anything for me and Susan. Susan and I constantly get asked to 84 00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:33.160 do favors, so this person related. I struggle with this a lot. 85 00:05:33.279 --> 00:05:38.560 Simplest of things, like doing dishes, I do them continually at my kid's 86 00:05:38.600 --> 00:05:41.959 house to be a helpful mom and mother in law. But I can't remember 87 00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:46.120 the last time anybody, the grown kids or my husband included, who has 88 00:05:46.160 --> 00:05:49.120 done one freaking dish at my house. And this goes for all the simple 89 00:05:49.240 --> 00:05:54.600 chores, dishes being just a pet peeve example. Same with little thoughtfulness things. 90 00:05:54.639 --> 00:05:58.439 I constantly think of thoughtful things to do just out of the goodness of 91 00:05:58.480 --> 00:06:01.360 my imagination and because I love making my people happy. And seriously, don't 92 00:06:01.360 --> 00:06:04.319 get me wrong, I do not do any things that I do in search 93 00:06:04.360 --> 00:06:10.600 of a favor or return or any or to ulterior motives. If that was 94 00:06:10.639 --> 00:06:13.079 the case, I would have stopped doing nice shit a long time ago. 95 00:06:13.600 --> 00:06:16.399 But very little acknowledgment of my kindness ever happens. As simple thank you is 96 00:06:16.480 --> 00:06:23.480 a pretty standard and I do get those most times. But do you agree 97 00:06:24.040 --> 00:06:30.439 that in return we would probably feel less crappy if someone just did something for 98 00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:35.800 us without us having to ask, just for the sake of making us happy 99 00:06:36.639 --> 00:06:42.279 anyway you get it, rant over, I've got dishes to do, you 100 00:06:42.319 --> 00:06:45.199 know, I totally feel you. I know there's a lot of people that 101 00:06:45.480 --> 00:06:48.439 are people pleasers. I think Jenny is that way, and I think a 102 00:06:48.439 --> 00:06:55.199 lot of people that it is their nature to give self leslie. Sure, 103 00:06:55.519 --> 00:06:59.839 while the people that take selfishly, I don't think they wake up in the 104 00:07:00.040 --> 00:07:02.240 morning saying I'm gonna see what I can get other people to do for me. 105 00:07:02.800 --> 00:07:10.680 That's just the way they are. I know somebody well who is constantly 106 00:07:10.839 --> 00:07:16.560 looking for people to do things nice for them, and it's like you and 107 00:07:16.600 --> 00:07:19.639 I don't say anything, but it's like, do you ever do anything nice? 108 00:07:20.399 --> 00:07:24.079 That's a little bit of a challenge for other people? Do you ever 109 00:07:24.120 --> 00:07:26.920 go out of your way for other people? And I don't know that they 110 00:07:26.959 --> 00:07:30.680 do. So it's weird to me because I feel like, yeah, there 111 00:07:30.680 --> 00:07:32.639 are some people who are like, what can I get? So I'm going 112 00:07:32.720 --> 00:07:35.959 to try and get as much as I can. I mean, I'm thinking 113 00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:40.399 of like people who do it very specifically, like hey, can you throw 114 00:07:40.439 --> 00:07:43.879 anything for free? When they're like at a restaurant or something. But I 115 00:07:43.920 --> 00:07:46.120 mean, I'm sure those kinds of people, you know, they exist elsewhere. 116 00:07:46.160 --> 00:07:48.319 So they could be like, Hey, if my mom's doing all of 117 00:07:48.319 --> 00:07:51.279 my dishes when she comes over, I'm not gonna stop her. Well, 118 00:07:51.399 --> 00:07:54.959 yeah, that's a good point, and I'm gonna call you out a little 119 00:07:54.959 --> 00:07:59.560 bit. Mom who wrote in don't do your kids' fucking dishes, just I 120 00:07:59.560 --> 00:08:03.360 mean, just don't. It's their house, don't. You're a wonderful person, 121 00:08:03.360 --> 00:08:05.480 but don't go over to their house and look at their sink full or 122 00:08:05.519 --> 00:08:09.399 counter full of dirty dishes and go, I'm gonna wash them. Fuck that, 123 00:08:09.560 --> 00:08:13.319 mom. Don't do it, because they will. Then that's just the 124 00:08:13.360 --> 00:08:16.680 expectation, right, They'll assume that you're going to You got your own dishes 125 00:08:16.720 --> 00:08:24.120 to do, so don't do it all right? Another one? Uh? 126 00:08:24.160 --> 00:08:28.120 And that one is not a Minnesota Goodbye, So let's do this one. 127 00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:31.720 Hey, guys, I'm checking up on my Minnesota Goodbye podcast about a week 128 00:08:31.759 --> 00:08:35.600 behind. I'm on the episode of Jenny's Birthday, which is a week ago, 129 00:08:35.879 --> 00:08:39.279 and you're discussing meeting neighbors, and it reminded me of my neighbors. 130 00:08:39.879 --> 00:08:43.639 Meeting my neighbors from my old apartment. My then wife and I would always 131 00:08:43.679 --> 00:08:48.240 refer to them to one neighbor as George and George Junior, even after we 132 00:08:48.279 --> 00:08:50.159 found out their actual names, because this old guy and his son lived there 133 00:08:50.559 --> 00:08:54.120 and we just thought for sure his name was George. It was actually Glenn. 134 00:08:54.480 --> 00:08:58.960 So we were close since it started with g. Anyway, Glenn and 135 00:08:58.039 --> 00:09:01.279 Dave were a little odd, but good neighbors. My current wife and I 136 00:09:01.360 --> 00:09:05.039 have not met many neighbors, but we know one. And my wife always 137 00:09:05.039 --> 00:09:09.960 forgets her name and calls her April. Her real name is Robin. Lol. 138 00:09:09.240 --> 00:09:13.919 Anyway, we're gonna kick some ass. We're gonna kick some fucking ass. 139 00:09:13.960 --> 00:09:16.759 Andrew in Ohio. That is a reference to when I got drunk at 140 00:09:16.759 --> 00:09:20.879 a work party and I talked about that on the podcast a week or so 141 00:09:20.960 --> 00:09:24.200 ago. And I was twenty three. I just started a job in Columbus, 142 00:09:24.240 --> 00:09:28.039 Ohio, and we were drinking at a party with the entire staff at 143 00:09:28.039 --> 00:09:33.639 a nice restaurant back room somewhere, and they're like, Dave, new morning 144 00:09:33.720 --> 00:09:37.440 guy, get up and tell us give us a speech, speech, speach, 145 00:09:37.519 --> 00:09:43.080 and I'm like, fuck, okay, uh, And I said eh, 146 00:09:43.440 --> 00:09:46.480 And I had a drink in my hand, and I remember looking at 147 00:09:46.559 --> 00:09:48.679 Eric, one of the sales guys, and he was looking at me like, 148 00:09:48.759 --> 00:09:52.960 you're fucking hammered, and I said, we're gonna kick ass. We're 149 00:09:52.960 --> 00:09:58.720 gonna kick fucking ass, and then I don't remember what else I said, 150 00:09:58.759 --> 00:10:03.200 and they all looked out, yeah, and I was, that still embarrasses 151 00:10:03.240 --> 00:10:05.320 me. And we did. We actually did kick fucking ask. We really 152 00:10:05.320 --> 00:10:09.440 did. So the dream came true. The prediction came true. But let's 153 00:10:09.480 --> 00:10:13.080 go back to the neighbors thing. And somebody wrote in about when is a 154 00:10:13.120 --> 00:10:16.960 good way or time to meet your neighbors, and I said, when they're 155 00:10:16.960 --> 00:10:20.559 out walking at the mailbox, go out and say hi. They will love 156 00:10:20.559 --> 00:10:24.519 it as much as you do. Nearly every neighbor is going to be happy 157 00:10:24.519 --> 00:10:28.919 to meet you, and some you might become really close friends with. Yeah, 158 00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:31.720 I mean, I guess it's I think it's easiest when you're like a 159 00:10:31.799 --> 00:10:35.679 kid, or if you have a kid and your neighbor has kids then because 160 00:10:35.679 --> 00:10:39.039 then your kids are friends and then you're also friends. But I mean, 161 00:10:39.080 --> 00:10:41.840 I don't really talk to my neighbors unless I'm out, like in my little 162 00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:43.080 garden and one of them walks by and says, oh, what's this? 163 00:10:43.759 --> 00:10:48.600 So maybe go out and do a thing in your yard. Yeah, yeah, 164 00:10:48.600 --> 00:10:50.919 that's a good idea. Can meet in the front yard, yeah, 165 00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:52.960 or maybe in the backyard because people share backyards too. But yeah, it's 166 00:10:54.000 --> 00:10:56.200 great to have a neighbor that you can trust to get your mail when you're 167 00:10:56.200 --> 00:11:01.000 out of town, or pop over and feed the cab while you're out of 168 00:11:01.039 --> 00:11:07.200 town, water your plants while you're out of town. We've gone through several 169 00:11:07.200 --> 00:11:11.120 neighbor kids because they've all gotten older and grown up, that are too old 170 00:11:11.279 --> 00:11:13.519 or have left for college or moved out that don't come over it. So 171 00:11:13.559 --> 00:11:18.720 we have to find and scout out new neighbor kids to come and watch the 172 00:11:18.759 --> 00:11:24.240 cat and the dog. Right, thank you, Andrew. Let's go down 173 00:11:24.320 --> 00:11:30.000 to this one first time staff writer here, Emily. I was listening to 174 00:11:30.039 --> 00:11:33.759 a Tuesday's show and Dave and Jenny we're talking about ozeba and other weight loss 175 00:11:33.840 --> 00:11:37.320 drugs. One thing I wanted to say is how near the end of the 176 00:11:37.360 --> 00:11:41.960 conversation Dave said something like you can do Livia like I does, and Jenny 177 00:11:41.960 --> 00:11:45.600 said, go to the gym. Yes, eating healthy and exercise is good 178 00:11:45.600 --> 00:11:48.360 for your health. The thing about people taking his medication for weight loss is 179 00:11:48.399 --> 00:11:52.679 to help when just a healthy diet and exercise are not helping. Like myself 180 00:11:52.799 --> 00:11:58.200 as example, I have had both thyroidism for nearly fifteen years. I can 181 00:11:58.279 --> 00:12:03.120 gain weight with these and have not been able to drop any weight with success. 182 00:12:03.639 --> 00:12:05.720 I can work out till I'm dead and no results. So I was 183 00:12:05.720 --> 00:12:11.000 put on something called zep bound, which is one that's just for weight loss, 184 00:12:11.039 --> 00:12:15.559 not like ozimpic, which is a diabetic drug. I'm writing this just 185 00:12:15.559 --> 00:12:20.000 to inform that sometimes people can do things Jenny and you have said and they 186 00:12:20.080 --> 00:12:22.840 do help you, but it doesn't do anything for some people. Sorry, 187 00:12:22.879 --> 00:12:26.399 it's long. It's actually not that long. We trust me. We get 188 00:12:26.399 --> 00:12:30.039 some emails that are just way long. But thank you for taking time to 189 00:12:30.039 --> 00:12:31.200 read this. I love to listen to the show every day along with the 190 00:12:31.200 --> 00:12:35.679 Minnesota Goodbye. I hope Vonka is to stay full time with you both. 191 00:12:35.879 --> 00:12:39.320 Yes, spoiler and I think it's a very funny mix of people together makes 192 00:12:39.399 --> 00:12:43.000 up for fallon moving on to afternoons. Thank you. And they would like 193 00:12:43.039 --> 00:12:46.120 a staff writer sticker, so Emily watch your mailbox. I'm way behind on 194 00:12:46.159 --> 00:12:48.440 staff writer stickers and that is something that is going to be put off for 195 00:12:48.720 --> 00:12:52.639 Oh, you want to volunteer to do it for you. Yeah, Oh 196 00:12:52.679 --> 00:12:56.600 God, bless your little pea pick and heart, because I've got probably forty 197 00:12:56.639 --> 00:13:01.120 backups of staff writer stickers. Yeah. I appreciate that, and I like 198 00:13:01.200 --> 00:13:05.960 doing it. It's very gratifying to sit there and sit at the kitchen counter 199 00:13:05.039 --> 00:13:09.840 and write them out and seal the envelopes and mail them off. It's very 200 00:13:09.879 --> 00:13:13.000 gratifying. It has just not been something I can squeeze into my life lately. 201 00:13:13.080 --> 00:13:18.120 So thank you. That is one. I'm going to forward one to 202 00:13:18.159 --> 00:13:22.320 myself. So forgive me one second, your Dave, Ryan, here we 203 00:13:22.360 --> 00:13:26.840 go. It is a school asking me to come and read my book to 204 00:13:28.240 --> 00:13:33.720 their preschool, pre prep and pre k and kindergarten camp friends. So yeah, 205 00:13:33.840 --> 00:13:37.440 Destiny, I will definitely do that. I went to a school yesterday 206 00:13:37.200 --> 00:13:41.440 and I read to first bunch of five year olds and then a bunch of 207 00:13:41.480 --> 00:13:45.399 three and a half to four year olds. Oh Bailey, they were so 208 00:13:45.559 --> 00:13:50.399 stink and cute. They're so stink and cute. I love kids, and 209 00:13:50.559 --> 00:13:54.559 kids know when you like them. Yes, so they could sense that, 210 00:13:54.639 --> 00:13:58.679 oh here is a friendly person. And I didn't magic tricks? How did 211 00:13:58.720 --> 00:14:03.120 those good? So good There's one I do where I have a little red 212 00:14:03.200 --> 00:14:07.000 ball about the size of a ping pong ball, and I show it to 213 00:14:07.080 --> 00:14:09.519 him and I say, I'm gonna make it disappear. Are you ready watch 214 00:14:09.600 --> 00:14:13.440 it? Watch the ball? And I go watch it and I put it 215 00:14:13.480 --> 00:14:16.960 in my pocket and I pull my hand out and I go, poof, 216 00:14:16.039 --> 00:14:20.519 it's gone. And they all go, we saw you put it in your 217 00:14:20.759 --> 00:14:26.799 packet. And I'm like, what you saw that? Oh my gosh, 218 00:14:26.879 --> 00:14:30.559 Okay, it's in my pocket. You're right. So I reach in, 219 00:14:30.919 --> 00:14:35.799 I pull it back out and I turn it into a big bunny and they 220 00:14:35.360 --> 00:14:39.720 loved it. And then the sound of like children laughing is truly like the 221 00:14:39.720 --> 00:14:45.039 most beautiful sound in the world. I think, like little chimes. They're 222 00:14:45.200 --> 00:14:48.879 they're and they're so sweet. And then and then so in my book, 223 00:14:48.440 --> 00:14:52.759 on every page is a picture of my dog Josie. She's like a guest 224 00:14:52.759 --> 00:14:54.639 star in the book, and she's in every page. And so I'm like, 225 00:14:54.720 --> 00:14:58.480 Okay, where's Josie on this page? There she is? Where's Josie 226 00:14:58.519 --> 00:15:03.320 on this page? There she is? And I said, does anybody here 227 00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:05.559 have a dog? Ooh ooh, I have a dog. I have a 228 00:15:05.559 --> 00:15:09.759 dog. His name is Rusty. I have a dog. His name's Charlie. 229 00:15:09.960 --> 00:15:13.320 Another kid will raise his hand. My mom just moved here from Las 230 00:15:13.399 --> 00:15:18.759 Vegas. That is always how it goes to hilarious. And it's like or 231 00:15:18.799 --> 00:15:22.159 they raise their hand and they forget what they were going to say. Oh, 232 00:15:22.279 --> 00:15:26.799 exactly, yes, I forgot. Yes, that's okay, and then 233 00:15:26.840 --> 00:15:31.320 you don't want to embarrass them, so and then you know what's it And 234 00:15:31.360 --> 00:15:33.679 it's just like when you and I were kids, and it makes me tear 235 00:15:33.720 --> 00:15:37.799 up a little bit. There's always the kid that kind of sits by herself 236 00:15:37.159 --> 00:15:43.440 and doesn't really participate. And I tried to pay some extra special attention and 237 00:15:43.559 --> 00:15:46.720 eye contact with those kids because it just kind of breaks your heart. You 238 00:15:46.759 --> 00:15:50.039 know, you see a little five year old and she's either too shy or 239 00:15:50.879 --> 00:15:56.600 awkward or something, and she just doesn't really want to be part with the 240 00:15:56.759 --> 00:16:00.240 or the other kids don't really include her or him. Yeah, so I 241 00:16:00.240 --> 00:16:03.519 tried to include everybody and smile and you know, let them all point at 242 00:16:03.519 --> 00:16:06.399 the book in that type of thing, where do you see Josie on this 243 00:16:06.519 --> 00:16:10.320 page? And I would do that, yeah, right, exactly, So 244 00:16:11.039 --> 00:16:18.399 on to the next one. Okay, Davi and Jenny. My heart drop 245 00:16:18.480 --> 00:16:22.240 when you said people want so much from you and it feels like it's never 246 00:16:22.279 --> 00:16:26.639 reciprocated. Now I know that was half a joke. If you ever find 247 00:16:26.679 --> 00:16:30.799 yourself in Buffalo, I would be honored to take you to dinner and buy 248 00:16:30.799 --> 00:16:34.399 you a drink. Please read that in t Pain's voice, lol, and 249 00:16:34.559 --> 00:16:40.320 buy you a drink. I've listened since I was in fifth grade. My 250 00:16:40.440 --> 00:16:42.039 husband can tell you. I fill him in all the time on what's happening 251 00:16:42.080 --> 00:16:45.559 on the show. I love that I feel like we're friends, that I 252 00:16:45.559 --> 00:16:48.559 could pick up a conversation every time we see each other. So sorry, 253 00:16:48.639 --> 00:16:52.879 I've already decided that we are friends. But seriously, Dave, my husband 254 00:16:52.879 --> 00:16:56.080 and I would love to show you the best roads over here to ride your 255 00:16:56.120 --> 00:17:00.200 Harley with us, and would love to buy you dinner. Anyway, I'll 256 00:17:00.240 --> 00:17:03.799 drop my phone number at the bottom. Have a wonderful day, Britney, 257 00:17:04.319 --> 00:17:07.240 Dave. I never got my first staff writer sticker, now, I don't 258 00:17:07.240 --> 00:17:11.279 blame you. The postal service also lost my wedding invites, so it's not 259 00:17:11.400 --> 00:17:14.799 you. Here's my number. If you're ever in the Buffalo area and you 260 00:17:14.799 --> 00:17:18.119 know what I'm gonna save your number, Brittany. But Brittany, write to 261 00:17:18.160 --> 00:17:23.160 me again and tell me what your address is, because I probably have missed 262 00:17:23.160 --> 00:17:32.240 a couple of staff writer stickers, So thank you. I sent an Instagram 263 00:17:32.400 --> 00:17:36.279 says Tammy Oh to Jenny. Okay, let's save that for another time. 264 00:17:36.319 --> 00:17:41.519 So that's not for the Minnesota Goodbye next one. Stefanie writes in I'm catching 265 00:17:41.599 --> 00:17:45.279 up on the podcast and learning about the new slogan Dave was scolded for mocking. 266 00:17:45.680 --> 00:17:48.519 If you didn't hear it, that was a couple of weeks ago where 267 00:17:48.519 --> 00:17:53.279 we got a memo from corporate that said, you've got to read these slogans 268 00:17:53.359 --> 00:17:57.599 about the Dave Ryan Show dishing out nothing but good vibes all morning for your 269 00:17:57.640 --> 00:18:03.079 commute. Yes, And I read these and I said, well, these 270 00:18:03.079 --> 00:18:07.200 are stupid, and so I kind of made fun of them. And I 271 00:18:07.240 --> 00:18:10.200 called the boss and I said these are stupid, and he's like, I 272 00:18:10.240 --> 00:18:14.400 know, but you got to read them there from corporate. So we even 273 00:18:14.599 --> 00:18:17.599 Natalie, our voice girl, even had to read a few of them too. 274 00:18:18.000 --> 00:18:21.720 So it's Natalie in her beautiful voice saying something like the Dave Ryan Show 275 00:18:21.799 --> 00:18:26.000 with a friendly dose of good humor, and good vibes all morning for your 276 00:18:26.079 --> 00:18:30.599 commute, and I'm like, this is fucking stupid. Rich got tired of 277 00:18:30.599 --> 00:18:33.640 me saying it was stupid, and he got pissed. He said, corporate 278 00:18:33.680 --> 00:18:36.400 spends a lot of money and a lot of research. Read them. I 279 00:18:36.480 --> 00:18:38.240 don't want to hear anything more about it. Do you remember that conversation, 280 00:18:38.359 --> 00:18:41.240 amember you getting in trouble? If I was here, I would have cried 281 00:18:41.279 --> 00:18:45.759 instantly. And it turned out it was a joke. And Rich apparently wrote 282 00:18:45.759 --> 00:18:48.720 them himself and sent them over. And I'm like, what did I do 283 00:18:48.799 --> 00:18:52.759 to deserve this? What did I do to deserve this? Anyway? Like 284 00:18:52.839 --> 00:18:56.359 getting in trouble in front of lots of listeners? Oh funny bit? I 285 00:18:56.359 --> 00:19:00.119 mean, I admit it was funny. And then she goes on to say 286 00:19:00.119 --> 00:19:04.160 I love the bits where these corporate directions are being mocked. One thing that 287 00:19:04.240 --> 00:19:07.960 corporate doesn't get is the sarcasm that makes the Dave Ryan Show what it is. 288 00:19:08.079 --> 00:19:12.279 Remember a few years ago, when the podcast description was changed to some 289 00:19:12.400 --> 00:19:18.119 fancy formal marketing garbage, it was almost a fight to get it back to 290 00:19:18.279 --> 00:19:22.720 Now, with more than seven listeners, this tagline has brought in so many 291 00:19:22.759 --> 00:19:26.200 non Minnesota listeners. Anyway, keep up the smart ass, sarcastic humor. 292 00:19:26.240 --> 00:19:27.920 I love it. Do you know that story? I don't know. Tell 293 00:19:27.960 --> 00:19:34.559 me so. When we first got on the iHeartRadio app ten is twelve is 294 00:19:34.680 --> 00:19:40.240 years ago, I don't know, they said we need a slogan, so 295 00:19:40.359 --> 00:19:42.920 like music Variety funds. Sure, what do you want your slogan to be? 296 00:19:42.960 --> 00:19:47.160 And I said, well, if it says music Variety fun or fun 297 00:19:47.200 --> 00:19:52.519 all morning or the best music mix or something, it's in and out. 298 00:19:52.680 --> 00:19:56.039 You don't even pay its wallpaper, right exactly. And I said, how 299 00:19:56.079 --> 00:20:03.519 about now with nearly seven listeners? And that told people something about our show 300 00:20:03.799 --> 00:20:07.880 that it's a smart ass, sarcastic You know, now with nearly seven listeners 301 00:20:07.960 --> 00:20:14.359 is a stupid, fucking slogan, but it shows people we're funny. And 302 00:20:14.680 --> 00:20:18.079 I can't tell you the number of people that live in other states that say, 303 00:20:18.200 --> 00:20:19.720 yeah, I found it because I was going through the radio stations and 304 00:20:19.799 --> 00:20:23.799 I found yours that said now with nearly seven listeners and it was so funny 305 00:20:23.839 --> 00:20:27.279 and I love your show now. And we had people that had never been 306 00:20:27.319 --> 00:20:30.839 to Minnesota that listened to our show and they still do. But then corporate 307 00:20:30.880 --> 00:20:34.000 said, mer, we don't like it. We're gonna change it back to 308 00:20:34.200 --> 00:20:41.000 music, variety and fun. And I was like god, because I think 309 00:20:41.000 --> 00:20:45.480 with corporate people, they want to do a cookie cutter thing on. It's 310 00:20:45.519 --> 00:20:48.759 kind of like it works for McDonald's. You go to McDonald's in Saint Louis, 311 00:20:49.279 --> 00:20:55.440 Albuquerque, Casper, Wyoming, or San Jose, they're all going to 312 00:20:55.519 --> 00:21:00.200 taste good. It works for McDonald's, but it doesn't work for ra radio 313 00:21:00.279 --> 00:21:03.519 station. Oh not when we have different people. I mean, McDonald's doesn't 314 00:21:03.519 --> 00:21:07.640 have a different menu at every McDonald's and radio does have a different menu. 315 00:21:07.759 --> 00:21:08.400 Well, I think you got to and I think that, you know, 316 00:21:08.480 --> 00:21:14.599 if every radio station sounded like the one in Chicago or whatever. So anyway, 317 00:21:14.680 --> 00:21:17.599 so thanks for that. I really appreciate that one. And I'm going 318 00:21:17.680 --> 00:21:19.240 to hit delete so I don't read it again tomorrow because you know me, 319 00:21:19.359 --> 00:21:22.880 I'll read it again tomorrow and go, here's a new one. Okay, 320 00:21:23.240 --> 00:21:29.359 delete on that one. And that one is a delete also, so I 321 00:21:29.400 --> 00:21:33.839 think that might be it. Yes, it is for the Minnesota goodbye. 322 00:21:34.039 --> 00:21:37.279 Good job, Bailey, nice job on your first day. Hey, thanks 323 00:21:37.359 --> 00:21:38.559 David, I'll see you. I guess tomorrow, well you'll be back to 324 00:21:38.640 --> 00:21:41.799 Yeah, you got to come back tomorrow. Yeah, you got to come 325 00:21:41.799 --> 00:21:45.240 back. Well, I guess. Send your emails to Ryan Show at KDWB 326 00:21:45.920 --> 00:21:51.839 dot com and thank you for listening to the Minnesota Goodbye.
