WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:03.399 This will be an extended version of the Minnesota Goodbye, because we have gotten 2 00:00:03.520 --> 00:00:06.200 enough emails lately that I want to get to as many as we can, 3 00:00:06.280 --> 00:00:11.439 So without further add let's jump in. Stephanie says, I woke up super 4 00:00:11.480 --> 00:00:14.599 sick, and I jumped on Amazon and got same day delivery for day Quill 5 00:00:14.599 --> 00:00:18.399 and Niquill. I apparently didn't read it very well got the gel pills instead 6 00:00:18.399 --> 00:00:21.679 of the bottles. Although it's not a big deal, I'm frustrated trying to 7 00:00:21.679 --> 00:00:25.800 open these stupid little things that are incredibly difficult to open, and when you're 8 00:00:25.800 --> 00:00:28.519 in a stage of being super sick with the fever, the task is near 9 00:00:28.559 --> 00:00:31.800 impossible. Why do companies have to do this? Why can't they just sell 10 00:00:31.800 --> 00:00:35.479 them in a bottle like all the other liquid gels. Stop using clamshell packaging 11 00:00:35.840 --> 00:00:39.560 on other products and any products it's annoying. Stop it. There are other 12 00:00:39.600 --> 00:00:42.039 products that are nearly impossible to open. And I know, Dave, you 13 00:00:42.079 --> 00:00:47.079 did a segment a while back on Easy Open or No, and that was 14 00:00:47.119 --> 00:00:51.880 the one where I did the Land of Lake's Mini MOUs creamers. And because 15 00:00:51.880 --> 00:00:56.479 there is no possible way, that's my favorite brand of little Tiny creamer little 16 00:00:56.479 --> 00:01:00.479 containers and it says push thumb here, lift up up. No, it 17 00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:04.519 doesn't work, and I've tried it many times so that I was inspired to 18 00:01:04.560 --> 00:01:10.400 do a segment called easy Open or no everything from Kraft mac and cheese to 19 00:01:10.680 --> 00:01:15.480 different containers and some are impossible to open. You're right, so right, 20 00:01:15.599 --> 00:01:21.359 Stephanie. About the Nike will little tabs. I don't know why they make 21 00:01:21.439 --> 00:01:23.640 it so hard, but I think it's probably because they don't want kids or 22 00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:29.400 whatever to break into them. But even an adult has trouble getting You know 23 00:01:29.439 --> 00:01:34.359 exactly what I'm talking about, Yeah, I do. Okay, let's delete 24 00:01:34.359 --> 00:01:41.959 that one. Next one, This one is from Emily. Did the nearly 25 00:01:42.120 --> 00:01:47.400 seven listeners slogan come from somewhere or just a funny made up thing? I 26 00:01:47.400 --> 00:01:49.760 actually thought there were only seven live listeners for a long time. That I 27 00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:53.040 believe is what it says on the podcast. When you listen, it says 28 00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:57.840 the Dave Ryan Show now with nearly seven listeners. I don't know where it 29 00:01:57.879 --> 00:02:01.280 came from, but our company wanted us to say something like music fun and 30 00:02:02.560 --> 00:02:06.200 I don't know, music fun and games or something like that, and I 31 00:02:06.239 --> 00:02:09.680 said, that's so boring. But if we say something that people think is 32 00:02:09.719 --> 00:02:14.479 clever, they'll listen. And so many people have gotten hooked on our show 33 00:02:14.800 --> 00:02:17.439 because the now with nearly seven listeners, sent out a vibe that says, 34 00:02:17.479 --> 00:02:22.439 this show is funny and makes fun of itself. So that's been really effective. 35 00:02:22.680 --> 00:02:24.240 Dave, when you fly to Colorado, do you have another car at 36 00:02:24.240 --> 00:02:29.280 the Denver Airport or nearby? Do you uber there or so? No? 37 00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:31.000 I just rent a car. It's not that interesting a story. How do 38 00:02:31.080 --> 00:02:34.039 I get around once I get here? I get a rental car and a 39 00:02:34.080 --> 00:02:38.280 motorcycle. Does Jenny have a weather degree or meteorologist degree? Why are you 40 00:02:38.360 --> 00:02:43.319 called weather girl Jenny? Jenny? Do you study clouds? What is your 41 00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:46.759 favorite cloud? Jenny jamil els, thank you for asking. And I do 42 00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:52.039 not have any sort of degree of that sort. I have your basic bitch 43 00:02:52.159 --> 00:02:57.159 journalism degree. And the weather girl Jenny thing came because when I started on 44 00:02:57.199 --> 00:03:00.680 the show, everyone that was in that position that I started on and was 45 00:03:00.719 --> 00:03:05.000 always still called either producer so and so or intern so and so. Yeah, 46 00:03:05.039 --> 00:03:07.520 and we were and Dave was like, let's not do that, let's 47 00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:10.080 do something different. And I started doing the weather reports. So Dave was 48 00:03:10.120 --> 00:03:14.960 like, let's call our weather girl Jenny instead, which has confused people for 49 00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:17.400 many a year's because they thought all I did was a ten second weather report 50 00:03:17.400 --> 00:03:22.520 and they had no idea what I actually do on the show. But yeah, 51 00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:24.719 that's where it all come from. It's funny because we don't really call 52 00:03:24.719 --> 00:03:28.879 you weather girl Jenny that often anymore, because now you're so much more than 53 00:03:28.919 --> 00:03:31.719 that. But yeah, that's how I remember it too. Next one, 54 00:03:31.759 --> 00:03:37.319 don't say a name. In response to your comments, Dave about faking it 55 00:03:37.319 --> 00:03:39.479 with a hypnotist. I'm in complete agreement with you. I don't think it's 56 00:03:39.520 --> 00:03:43.719 real. I just had to tell you about a situation I went through in 57 00:03:43.759 --> 00:03:46.039 my life. I had anxiety. My husband says, get some counseling. 58 00:03:46.479 --> 00:03:50.800 I said, okay. The first counselor and I went to wanted me to 59 00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:55.039 try this crazy tapping method. I think it's called eft. Anyway, the 60 00:03:55.039 --> 00:03:59.240 guy made me tap on my cheek and then I think it was on my 61 00:03:59.280 --> 00:04:03.159 forehead and in this weird order, and was convinced it should instantly resolve my 62 00:04:03.240 --> 00:04:09.879 anxiety. Every time he had me complete this weird style of tapping, he 63 00:04:09.919 --> 00:04:13.800 would say, you're feeling better now. I said no, do it again. 64 00:04:14.479 --> 00:04:15.639 Finally, after three times, I felt bad for the guy and I 65 00:04:15.720 --> 00:04:18.720 said, yep, it's feeling better just to get out of the appointment. 66 00:04:19.279 --> 00:04:23.920 I left with all my anxiety and found a better counselor that did help. 67 00:04:23.959 --> 00:04:27.800 However, twenty years later, my husband still thinks it's hilarious to tell me 68 00:04:28.319 --> 00:04:31.000 tap on your cheek when I get mad at him about something. I'm curious 69 00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:35.120 if anybody else listening has had success with this EFT anxiety treatment. Love the 70 00:04:35.120 --> 00:04:40.000 show again, and I am too straight laced to sign off like your other 71 00:04:40.040 --> 00:04:43.000 listener's smiley face. They mean, they're not going to say dart lick, 72 00:04:43.120 --> 00:04:47.839 dart lick. I don't know that that tapping thing even exists anymore, but 73 00:04:47.920 --> 00:04:54.759 I think that there is such a big placebo effect that if you're convinced that 74 00:04:54.920 --> 00:05:00.480 magic beans or your lucky rabbit's foot are responsible for your wealth well being, 75 00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:04.439 you're going to really believe that. And I think that really can be a 76 00:05:04.480 --> 00:05:08.720 helpful thing. It wouldn't work for cancer. You wouldn't want to, like 77 00:05:08.759 --> 00:05:12.720 try to get cure somebody's cancer with tapping or the placebo effect, but I 78 00:05:12.720 --> 00:05:16.120 think it might work for something like anxiety where if you believe you feel better, 79 00:05:16.839 --> 00:05:19.800 maybe you feel better. Mm hmmm. I would say, yeah, 80 00:05:19.879 --> 00:05:26.079 maybe it's helpful in that aspect, but I'm the person who emailed inside. 81 00:05:26.079 --> 00:05:29.079 I don't think that that would help me at all. Well, and I 82 00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:32.040 think that's you're you're such a practical person like me. I know somebody who 83 00:05:32.160 --> 00:05:34.519 I had lunch with the other day. She I think I told her she 84 00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:38.360 applied for Falan's job, and we're still friends. I haven't seen her in 85 00:05:38.360 --> 00:05:42.959 ten years, and she's wonderful. She says she takes a daily cocktail of 86 00:05:43.079 --> 00:05:46.480 klonopin and some other things and they have changed her life because she's so normal 87 00:05:46.519 --> 00:05:50.279 and witty and smart and intelligent. But she said she could barely function without, 88 00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:58.160 you know, the anxiety medications. So medications for most people really work. 89 00:05:58.920 --> 00:06:04.160 So tap not really sure. This one says, don't say a name. 90 00:06:04.199 --> 00:06:08.439 I've been a fan since Carson, my son was about three years old, 91 00:06:08.839 --> 00:06:11.399 and you would gush about him on the radio. Been wanting to write 92 00:06:11.399 --> 00:06:14.839 in to get my staff writer's sticker for a few weeks. Dave talked about 93 00:06:14.879 --> 00:06:18.079 Susan and her ingrown hair on her lady parts and how he tried to help 94 00:06:18.120 --> 00:06:20.720 her out. She'd showed me this ingrown hair a couple of weeks ago. 95 00:06:20.959 --> 00:06:24.600 I got out a needle, tweezer, some rubbing alcohol, and I went 96 00:06:24.639 --> 00:06:28.439 to work. It did not work. Lo and behold. A week later, 97 00:06:28.480 --> 00:06:30.399 I got to the bathroom after waking up in the morning, and as 98 00:06:30.439 --> 00:06:33.839 I wipe, it hurts, and I think, Susan, I can't believe 99 00:06:33.839 --> 00:06:36.839 it. I've got an ingrown hair on the same spot Susan did, for 100 00:06:36.879 --> 00:06:41.360 the first time in my forty plus years of life. I proceed to get 101 00:06:41.399 --> 00:06:43.720 a needle and mirror. I was able to take care of it myself. 102 00:06:43.959 --> 00:06:46.319 I thought it was funny that Susan was the very first thing I thought of 103 00:06:46.399 --> 00:06:48.720 sitting on the toilet that morning. Laugh emoji. Hope you guys had a 104 00:06:48.759 --> 00:06:53.639 great day. Dart Lick, your favorite staff writer from southern Minnesota. She 105 00:06:53.800 --> 00:06:56.920 wanted a sticker, and I'm going to take a picture of her address. 106 00:06:57.120 --> 00:07:01.079 So that is what I'm doing right now, and it'll be a couple of 107 00:07:01.160 --> 00:07:04.279 days till any of these go out, because I'm in Colorado, the stickers 108 00:07:04.319 --> 00:07:10.319 are in Minnesota next one. Like I said, we're getting through a bunch 109 00:07:10.360 --> 00:07:15.040 of these it's an extended version. Staff writer Demante Matthews writes in from Wood 110 00:07:15.040 --> 00:07:17.480 Beary, I listen to the Breakfast Club Show every morning as well, and 111 00:07:17.519 --> 00:07:21.959 it's pretty funny funny that Jenny's jail birds are a lot of the same story 112 00:07:21.959 --> 00:07:27.319 that the host, Charlemagne the God uses for his Donkey of the Day segment. 113 00:07:27.879 --> 00:07:30.720 In case you don't know, the Breakfast Club is a big syndicated morning 114 00:07:30.720 --> 00:07:32.519 show and they're on here in the Twin Cities. Don't listen to them because 115 00:07:32.639 --> 00:07:36.519 we would lose you. Hey, Charlemagne the God is a legendary radio host. 116 00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:42.079 Yes, And basically I'll tell you how it works. There's a source 117 00:07:42.120 --> 00:07:46.759 that we get Demante that uses that basically gives us the same stories, and 118 00:07:46.879 --> 00:07:50.439 he is on this source and we are on this source. I'm actually surprised 119 00:07:50.439 --> 00:07:54.040 he uses that one though, because of anytime I've seen him do Donkey of 120 00:07:54.079 --> 00:07:56.720 the Day. A lot of times he's given it to like celebrities. It's 121 00:07:56.759 --> 00:08:00.399 not like you're silly Florida criminal, you know, Oh really yeah, it's 122 00:08:00.439 --> 00:08:03.879 normally like he's done Kanye And that's why he's so he's he's one of those 123 00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:07.519 radio people who's really good at what he does, and he's allowed to talk 124 00:08:07.600 --> 00:08:11.600 shit basically about other celebrities and that person will still maybe like them or they 125 00:08:11.680 --> 00:08:16.279 start beef and then that makes it even more interesting. And so he often 126 00:08:16.839 --> 00:08:20.639 for Donkey of the Day is talking about a different celebrity. That's funny because 127 00:08:20.639 --> 00:08:22.519 you know what he's going to staff of writers. Jenny and I think that 128 00:08:22.560 --> 00:08:28.000 he has people that can go research their own celebrity Donkey of the Day, 129 00:08:28.480 --> 00:08:31.080 and we don't. We have a source that basically it's kind of like getting 130 00:08:31.759 --> 00:08:37.240 an email blast or a magazine that's got all these stories in it, and 131 00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:39.320 we pick stories and it comes out every day. So that's probably why we 132 00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:45.600 hear some of the same ones. Okay, next one. Aaron writes in 133 00:08:46.440 --> 00:08:48.159 let me start off as saying, I'm a longtime listener the Morning Show and 134 00:08:48.200 --> 00:08:54.080 the Minnesota Goodbye. I equate listening to you to the warmth and comfort of 135 00:08:54.120 --> 00:08:58.240 my favorite cozy blanket. I get all wrapped up in your lives. I 136 00:08:58.399 --> 00:09:01.679 laugh with you, and yep, I even right to It's just not the 137 00:09:01.679 --> 00:09:05.120 same when I miss a show. So thank goodness for the podcast. Okay, 138 00:09:05.120 --> 00:09:09.240 onto the talking points. It may require a bit of vulnerability. I 139 00:09:09.279 --> 00:09:11.679 was wondering, if I could get each of you to go back in time, 140 00:09:11.759 --> 00:09:15.919 what moment would you change with a friend, with a family member, 141 00:09:16.080 --> 00:09:20.960 at work, or with a coworker. This could get a little bit longer 142 00:09:20.279 --> 00:09:24.639 than we really would have time for, so I'll just give it to Jenny. 143 00:09:24.080 --> 00:09:28.759 Jenny, is there a moment you would change with a friend, a 144 00:09:28.799 --> 00:09:33.000 family member, or with a coworker? Ugh? I mean, yes, 145 00:09:33.240 --> 00:09:37.399 there's definitely things I've said that I would take back, but like those stories 146 00:09:37.440 --> 00:09:43.320 are probably kind of boring, I would say. So, there was a 147 00:09:43.399 --> 00:09:48.720 time on the show where we needed something like to fill a break, and 148 00:09:48.799 --> 00:09:52.799 basically you guys called me into the studio because this is when Steven Follmer stall 149 00:09:52.840 --> 00:09:56.039 on the show, and you're like, hey, like, do you have 150 00:09:56.080 --> 00:09:58.200 a story? And I brought up something that had happened over the weekend and 151 00:09:58.240 --> 00:10:01.879 it was about a friend and it was just like a part of her life 152 00:10:01.879 --> 00:10:05.759 that she wouldn't have wanted on the radio. And I didn't say anyone's names, 153 00:10:05.840 --> 00:10:09.480 but I told the story and a lot of people had heard and knew 154 00:10:09.480 --> 00:10:11.279 that it was her that I was talking about. But did the Twin Cities 155 00:10:11.279 --> 00:10:15.240 in general know who I was talking about. No, but she knew and 156 00:10:15.279 --> 00:10:20.399 other friends knew, and it really hurt her feelings and I felt like garbage 157 00:10:20.440 --> 00:10:24.000 afterwards, Like I felt like I kind of felt like I sold out in 158 00:10:24.080 --> 00:10:28.480 that moment to like entertain and I have content on the show. I remember 159 00:10:28.519 --> 00:10:31.200 that, Yeah, And I didn't tell her about it. She found out 160 00:10:31.200 --> 00:10:35.840 from friends and then she listened to it and then she confronted me, and 161 00:10:35.919 --> 00:10:39.559 I will forever like feel bad about that, and we like squashed it and 162 00:10:39.679 --> 00:10:43.120 whatever. We're not really friends anymore, but we squashed that moment. But 163 00:10:43.159 --> 00:10:46.240 I learned a big lesson from that moment, and I wish I could take 164 00:10:46.279 --> 00:10:50.799 that back because it just was like a hard thing for her and it was 165 00:10:50.919 --> 00:10:54.080 unfair for me to be putting her personal life on the radio, even though 166 00:10:54.080 --> 00:10:56.519 I didn't say her name. So I would definitely take back that moment for 167 00:10:56.600 --> 00:11:00.679 sure. I can only play out that by saying I totally get it. 168 00:11:01.039 --> 00:11:05.320 That's the thing, that's the fine line that we have to draw on our 169 00:11:05.360 --> 00:11:09.240 show. Something happened to me and I asked Jenny a little while ago, 170 00:11:09.240 --> 00:11:11.200 I said, should I talk about it on the radio. And it's not 171 00:11:11.240 --> 00:11:16.679 anything that is scandalous or shameful to do with me. It is something that 172 00:11:16.759 --> 00:11:20.879 I encountered with my family. And I said, Jenny, I think I 173 00:11:20.960 --> 00:11:24.879 did the wrong thing because there is somebody in my family that I'm worried about. 174 00:11:24.559 --> 00:11:28.879 And I wanted to say because I gave them a hug the other day, 175 00:11:30.519 --> 00:11:35.399 and I wanted to say, are you okay? Because I'm worried that 176 00:11:35.600 --> 00:11:41.639 they are not okay, that somebody in their family is controlling them. And 177 00:11:41.679 --> 00:11:45.399 I asked Jen. I told Jenny the details, and Jenny and I kind 178 00:11:45.440 --> 00:11:50.080 of both agreed. I would never want them to hear it. I would 179 00:11:50.120 --> 00:11:52.960 never want them to think that I'm accusing them of anything. I don't think 180 00:11:52.960 --> 00:11:56.399 my family listens to the show, but I know that some of them do 181 00:11:56.639 --> 00:12:01.159 sometimes, and I'm talking to my extended family. Got Carson er Allison. 182 00:12:01.799 --> 00:12:07.000 But my point is, we tell you ninety eight percent of the things that 183 00:12:07.080 --> 00:12:09.480 happen in our lives, but there are two percent that we just they're too 184 00:12:09.559 --> 00:12:16.159 private. They're things that we're maybe not proud of, and but you get 185 00:12:16.279 --> 00:12:18.639 ninety percent of our personalities. But once in a while we go, Mum, 186 00:12:20.639 --> 00:12:24.080 I just can't share that story. Yeah. So, and I think 187 00:12:24.080 --> 00:12:26.120 I've still made the right decision, but it is interesting and I would like 188 00:12:26.159 --> 00:12:31.440 to know should I have said are you okay to this person as I gave 189 00:12:31.480 --> 00:12:35.559 them a hug because I don't see them often and I do worry about him. 190 00:12:35.840 --> 00:12:37.799 Hey, Aaron, thanks for that one. She's from Big Lake. 191 00:12:37.840 --> 00:12:41.759 I appreciate that. We're going to hit delete on that one and move on 192 00:12:41.919 --> 00:12:48.720 to the next email. Let's try this one. Actually, I'm gonna skip 193 00:12:48.759 --> 00:12:52.399 that one because it's kind of something like we just read a little while ago. 194 00:12:52.919 --> 00:12:56.919 So let's try this one. Dave. You mentioned your childhood friend Scott 195 00:12:56.960 --> 00:13:00.120 often when telling stories. Are you friends still? Where is he now now? 196 00:13:00.519 --> 00:13:03.080 It would be entertaining to have him on the show and sharing some stories 197 00:13:03.080 --> 00:13:05.480 about you. Just a thought from Emily in shortview, My friend Scott was 198 00:13:05.519 --> 00:13:09.440 basically my very very very best friend when I was a little kid growing up 199 00:13:09.480 --> 00:13:15.039 from kindergarten until high school. Then we kind of drifted apart after high school, 200 00:13:15.240 --> 00:13:18.919 and then he moved away when we were both about twenty nineteen or twenty 201 00:13:18.960 --> 00:13:22.759 years old without saying goodbye. And that's just kind of Scott. He was 202 00:13:22.840 --> 00:13:24.639 just done. He moved away, moved away with a woman that he was 203 00:13:24.720 --> 00:13:28.159 cheating with, and he married her. They are still married, they have 204 00:13:28.279 --> 00:13:31.159 kids, and so it all turned out well. I called him maybe ten 205 00:13:31.240 --> 00:13:35.639 years ago. I looked him up, found him, we talked. It 206 00:13:35.679 --> 00:13:37.600 was a little bit awkward, and we have not spoken since then. But 207 00:13:37.679 --> 00:13:41.159 we were the best of friends. We would cover for each other, we 208 00:13:41.159 --> 00:13:45.320 would lie for each other. And my favorite story was Scott, and I'll 209 00:13:45.360 --> 00:13:48.200 tell it really quick, was I got kicked out of the first grade Christmas 210 00:13:48.240 --> 00:13:52.480 musical because I acted up. On day one, I was dancing in the 211 00:13:52.519 --> 00:13:56.200 little you know the choir little stands where you have different tiers of choir kids. 212 00:13:56.559 --> 00:13:58.879 I was in the front row because I was short, and I started 213 00:13:58.960 --> 00:14:03.080 dancing and the teacher said, you are out. And so every day while 214 00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:07.639 they rehearsed, i'd sit on a bench by the principal's office. Scott was 215 00:14:07.679 --> 00:14:11.879 such a good friend that he purposely got kicked out so I wouldn't be sitting 216 00:14:11.879 --> 00:14:18.720 on the bench alone. That is a good friend, Holy buckets, And 217 00:14:18.759 --> 00:14:22.120 that kind of represented our friendship all the way through school. And it's a 218 00:14:22.120 --> 00:14:24.320 shame because, you know what, we don't really have much to say to 219 00:14:24.320 --> 00:14:28.039 each other now. So yeah, all right here we go with the Mega 220 00:14:28.120 --> 00:14:33.519 version, the extended remix, the Minnesota Goodbye to knock out a bunch of 221 00:14:33.559 --> 00:14:35.559 the emails that kind of been stacking up in the email box. Because I 222 00:14:35.600 --> 00:14:41.440 appreciate everyone, Nick writes in, says Dave, It's quite obvious you take 223 00:14:41.480 --> 00:14:43.960 tremendous amount of pride in your work and it shows on the morning show. 224 00:14:43.320 --> 00:14:48.159 You surround yourself with talented people and help them grow as well. Keep it 225 00:14:48.320 --> 00:14:50.879 up, I do. This is my life. This is my one thing 226 00:14:50.919 --> 00:14:54.399 in my life that I have been good at, and that is the radio 227 00:14:54.440 --> 00:14:58.200 show. So yeah, I'd really definitely take a lot of pride, and 228 00:14:58.240 --> 00:15:01.360 I always beat myself up when the show doesn't go very well or we do 229 00:15:01.440 --> 00:15:03.679 a bit and it's like that didn't go out the way we went it wanted 230 00:15:03.759 --> 00:15:07.399 to. And we get really happy when something goes off really well. So 231 00:15:07.919 --> 00:15:11.879 thank you, Nick. You mentioned that iHeart is short staffed. I hear 232 00:15:11.919 --> 00:15:16.120 that from everyone, and it seems to me this is really avoidable by simply 233 00:15:16.159 --> 00:15:20.600 paying better. Hah, Well that's the problem. Do you think that iHeart 234 00:15:20.679 --> 00:15:24.519 is being cheap or is there something that I am missing? I'll be flat 235 00:15:24.559 --> 00:15:30.080 out honest with you, radio has a lot more competition than it used to. 236 00:15:30.759 --> 00:15:33.919 So we are now where it used to be. There was like just 237 00:15:33.960 --> 00:15:37.960 a couple of mediums. There was TV, radio, newspaper you could also 238 00:15:39.000 --> 00:15:43.200 say magazines. And now there is streaming, there is podcasting, there's Apple 239 00:15:43.279 --> 00:15:46.200 Music, there is YouTube, there is Spotify. There is all kinds of 240 00:15:46.200 --> 00:15:52.519 competition. If we had the money to spend, we would do it. 241 00:15:52.759 --> 00:15:54.600 We don't have the money to spend. I mean, it's a really simple 242 00:15:54.639 --> 00:16:00.759 answer, let's get more people by paying better. Does it really worked that 243 00:16:00.799 --> 00:16:03.440 way? So? I mean, our show and KATWDB is still thriving, 244 00:16:04.000 --> 00:16:07.480 but there's a lot of radio that is really I mean there's a lot of 245 00:16:07.519 --> 00:16:12.519 radio stations that are struggling. We're doing fine, but the money doesn't exist. 246 00:16:12.519 --> 00:16:14.960 I mean, if it did, they would be like, oh, 247 00:16:15.000 --> 00:16:18.840 well, let's spend the money. I got to explain to some friends what 248 00:16:18.960 --> 00:16:22.120 dart Lick means. Everybody was dying, and I ended up finding all the 249 00:16:22.159 --> 00:16:26.360 episodes that mentioned the act. Each one of us had was rolling laughing. 250 00:16:26.000 --> 00:16:33.759 Then I went into some of the great bits. The consensus the HR bit 251 00:16:33.000 --> 00:16:37.679 was that Dave You're a Bitch was our favorite. On a related note, 252 00:16:37.720 --> 00:16:42.720 please bring back Carson calling in stoned. And every time I hear that you 253 00:16:42.799 --> 00:16:45.720 have nearly seven listeners, I chuckle. But I have a thought, what 254 00:16:45.799 --> 00:16:51.559 if you reached updated that to reach a milestone of ten listeners? Lastly I 255 00:16:51.600 --> 00:16:53.320 met Fallon at the State Fair and made my day. I hope to meet 256 00:16:53.320 --> 00:16:57.559 the rest of you guys next year. So thank you Nick. All right, 257 00:16:57.600 --> 00:17:00.320 here we go with another email, this one from Amanda. Hello, 258 00:17:00.440 --> 00:17:06.000 Morning Show. My husband and I had a marital dispute. We need some 259 00:17:06.079 --> 00:17:10.039 advice. Is this gross or is my husband being a weenie? Oh? 260 00:17:10.039 --> 00:17:14.079 This sounds interesting. Recently we bought a blanket from Costco. When we got 261 00:17:14.079 --> 00:17:17.720 home, I unpackaged it and tossed it on the couch with horror. My 262 00:17:17.799 --> 00:17:22.319 husband gasp and immediately threw it in the laundry. Now I rarely wash clothes 263 00:17:22.359 --> 00:17:26.799 or blankets after purchaots in them, underwear, best sheets aside, But because 264 00:17:26.799 --> 00:17:30.799 I feel like things aren't that dirty. Do you immediately wash things when you 265 00:17:30.839 --> 00:17:33.799 bring them home or start using them right away? I always make sure I 266 00:17:33.960 --> 00:17:37.359 wash new dishes and utensils, but blankets in clothes don't bother me. I 267 00:17:37.400 --> 00:17:41.200 tell my husband I'm saving the planet by using less water. He says, 268 00:17:41.240 --> 00:17:44.720 I'm gross in the most loving way. What are your thoughts, please discuss? 269 00:17:45.759 --> 00:17:49.839 And that is from Amanda. I do not wash clothes or blankets before 270 00:17:49.839 --> 00:17:53.200 I wear them. I never would do that. Sometimes I'll rinse out. 271 00:17:53.240 --> 00:17:56.559 If I buy a picture for iced tea, I might rinse it out, 272 00:17:57.480 --> 00:18:02.880 but sometimes not. What about you, Jenny. Definitely not clothes I have, 273 00:18:03.160 --> 00:18:07.119 like your sheets, Betting, I do. But a blanket. I 274 00:18:07.119 --> 00:18:10.039 don't think I've ever washed a blanket, like a thorough blanket. No, 275 00:18:10.480 --> 00:18:14.000 I haven't done that. Yeah, I don't really. I don't really feel 276 00:18:14.000 --> 00:18:17.039 like the need to never occur to me to wash clothes or even underwear. 277 00:18:17.240 --> 00:18:18.680 You buy new underwear, Jenny, you go down to coals, you buy 278 00:18:18.720 --> 00:18:22.480 new underwear, Do you wash them before you wear them? No? Because 279 00:18:22.519 --> 00:18:26.839 they're clean. I don't think there's anybody at the underwear plant that's like, 280 00:18:26.920 --> 00:18:30.160 hey, I got an idea, let's roll these around in some dirt and 281 00:18:30.240 --> 00:18:33.279 let's spit on them. They're made in a pretty much hysterile factory. I 282 00:18:33.319 --> 00:18:37.200 think, maybe not sterile, but clean, right right, And I'm kind 283 00:18:37.240 --> 00:18:41.200 of assuming that the Costco blanket that you're talking about had a smell to it 284 00:18:41.200 --> 00:18:45.759 because it was probably in some plastic packaging or something, and that's maybe why 285 00:18:45.799 --> 00:18:48.119 her husband was like, no need to wash this first, because there's definitely 286 00:18:48.160 --> 00:18:53.319 been things where you open it and you smell like some kind of plastics the 287 00:18:53.359 --> 00:18:56.119 best I can think of right now, But yeah, I don't know to 288 00:18:56.119 --> 00:18:59.759 answer your question, I don't think that most people do. But I think 289 00:18:59.759 --> 00:19:02.799 that's some people when they get like a new I don't know, any utensil 290 00:19:02.920 --> 00:19:07.440 or spoon or something. Maybe next one from Aubrey, Davi and Jenny want 291 00:19:07.440 --> 00:19:11.240 to say, I love hearing more my girl Jenny lately, and I love 292 00:19:11.279 --> 00:19:14.480 that I still have my Mornings with a Dave Ryan show after twenty five years. 293 00:19:14.960 --> 00:19:21.119 Writing to you today on my thirty fourth birthday with a question situation. 294 00:19:21.920 --> 00:19:25.359 Have you ever been in a relationship with a friend that was mostly one sided? 295 00:19:25.720 --> 00:19:29.079 How did you finally realize that and how did you move on? I'm 296 00:19:29.160 --> 00:19:32.759 struggling with this lately and having a hard time letting go. Keep bringing on 297 00:19:32.799 --> 00:19:36.720 the funny that's Aubrey in Ramsey. I'd never have had a friendship that was 298 00:19:36.720 --> 00:19:40.480 one sided. Since junior high school, there was a guy named Mike fabian, 299 00:19:41.000 --> 00:19:44.200 and he was really interesting. His dad was later on a Space Shuttle. 300 00:19:45.160 --> 00:19:49.240 So because I went to the Air Force Academy high school and I really 301 00:19:49.400 --> 00:19:52.960 liked Mike, and I really wanted to come to my house, and so 302 00:19:52.599 --> 00:19:56.359 I would ask him and he'd be like no, or I would call him 303 00:19:56.359 --> 00:19:59.960 a couple of times, and then he would pretend that the like the phone 304 00:20:00.119 --> 00:20:03.680 got disconnected, and after a while, I was like, he really doesn't 305 00:20:03.759 --> 00:20:06.720 want to come to my house, so I let it drop. Since then, 306 00:20:06.920 --> 00:20:10.519 no, what about you, Jenny, I don't I don't think so. 307 00:20:11.200 --> 00:20:14.960 I think when you get older in life, did she say she's thirty 308 00:20:15.000 --> 00:20:18.440 four or was that okay? I feel like when you get older in life, 309 00:20:18.519 --> 00:20:21.920 you just start to become so so busy. So like my main group 310 00:20:21.960 --> 00:20:25.720 of girlfriends, we have a group checks and some of us don't respond for 311 00:20:25.759 --> 00:20:27.440 a week, and it, you know, it's just kind of like what 312 00:20:27.559 --> 00:20:30.640 we all expect from each other now. So some people might view that as 313 00:20:30.720 --> 00:20:33.880 one sided if someone's like texting a bunch of stuff and nobody's responding for a 314 00:20:33.960 --> 00:20:37.279 while, but that's kind of just how life got busy for us. So 315 00:20:37.680 --> 00:20:41.400 other than that, now, I feel like most of my friendships are very 316 00:20:41.559 --> 00:20:45.480 both sided, okay good, And Jenny's very social, so she doesn't need 317 00:20:45.599 --> 00:20:48.359 a friend who would not pay attention to her. If you had a friend 318 00:20:48.359 --> 00:20:52.640 that you didn't feel that they reciprocated, you'd be like, that's okay, 319 00:20:52.000 --> 00:20:55.119 Yeah, I mean, I got plenty of other people. I don't need 320 00:20:55.200 --> 00:21:00.279 to be like needy around you. Next one all the way for Rocky Point, 321 00:21:00.519 --> 00:21:06.599 North Carolina. This is Lauren, and Lauren writes in Jenny love the 322 00:21:06.640 --> 00:21:10.079 fact that you're getting more airtime. Nice to hear your dynamic with Dave now 323 00:21:10.119 --> 00:21:12.720 that you're on more. You said in the past that Andrew that your boyfriend 324 00:21:12.759 --> 00:21:15.759 doesn't drink. If it's not personal, or you'd be willing to share, 325 00:21:17.200 --> 00:21:19.720 why doesn't he drink? I don't care either way, just a curiosity. 326 00:21:19.839 --> 00:21:22.440 Do you want to move on or do you want to answer it? I 327 00:21:22.519 --> 00:21:26.599 mean, I can't speak for him, but he actually does drink again in 328 00:21:27.079 --> 00:21:33.799 he'd never stopped drinking because he had like a severe problem, but it just 329 00:21:33.200 --> 00:21:37.960 drinking wasn't like always the greatest for him, So that's most of the reason. 330 00:21:38.039 --> 00:21:41.000 But I guess everyone defines problem in a different way, so you can 331 00:21:41.039 --> 00:21:44.440 look at it however you want. But yeah, he didn't drink for like 332 00:21:44.519 --> 00:21:47.720 seven years, and he did start drinking about a year ago, and you 333 00:21:47.799 --> 00:21:52.480 know, it's it's different to have him drinking again because the first three years 334 00:21:52.519 --> 00:21:55.359 of our relationship he didn't drink, and it was so it was so weird 335 00:21:55.640 --> 00:21:59.359 for me because drinking was a pretty big part of my life back when we 336 00:21:59.400 --> 00:22:03.480 started dating, and it's not so much anymore. But now it's just like 337 00:22:03.119 --> 00:22:07.000 if we have an event going on, we have some drinks or I don't 338 00:22:07.039 --> 00:22:10.960 know, we had a gopher game party. We were out a few weekends 339 00:22:11.000 --> 00:22:12.920 ago and we were drinking and playing drinking games at that and stuff now, 340 00:22:14.039 --> 00:22:17.599 but yeah, that's the gist of it, Okay. So it's not like 341 00:22:17.720 --> 00:22:22.359 he had a problem and said I better stop so just for whatever reason. 342 00:22:22.400 --> 00:22:23.559 I mean, I know a lot of people who they just don't drink. 343 00:22:23.640 --> 00:22:27.000 They just don't like to, or they'll maybe have like a glass of wine. 344 00:22:27.079 --> 00:22:30.680 I grew up in a non drinking family. Mom and dad never had 345 00:22:30.759 --> 00:22:34.319 beer or wine around the house. Mom had a bottle of gym Beams she 346 00:22:34.440 --> 00:22:37.880 kept under her bed, but I never They just didn't drink. It was 347 00:22:37.960 --> 00:22:41.119 just not a thing. So some people. That's just the way it is. 348 00:22:41.359 --> 00:22:49.480 Yep. Next one. Okay, this is interesting. This is from 349 00:22:49.759 --> 00:22:55.839 Jessica. I love our Midwestern culture, but was definitely culture shock when I 350 00:22:55.920 --> 00:23:00.960 moved here seventeen years ago. For example, here's some quirky vocab larry differences 351 00:23:00.720 --> 00:23:08.079 examples below. Designated driver equal Minnesota calls it a sober cab. Somewhere else 352 00:23:08.119 --> 00:23:11.319 we call it a cast role. Minnesota we call it a hot dish. 353 00:23:11.240 --> 00:23:15.480 Sledding Minnesota's call it sliding. I don't know that that's true. Is that 354 00:23:15.559 --> 00:23:19.160 true? I don't I've never heard anyone call it sliding. Here, parking 355 00:23:19.240 --> 00:23:22.200 garage, Minnesota's call it a parking ramp. I think we call it either. 356 00:23:22.519 --> 00:23:26.960 Yeah. Lottery tickets we call them scratch offs. Would you agree with 357 00:23:26.039 --> 00:23:32.000 that? I guess, But well, no, not really, because scratch 358 00:23:32.000 --> 00:23:34.440 offs I feel like we clarify when we're talking about scratch offs versus a lottery 359 00:23:34.480 --> 00:23:40.079 ticket that has numbers on it. You don't you don't call like the jackpot 360 00:23:40.240 --> 00:23:42.400 lottery like. You don't call that a scratch off at least I don't. 361 00:23:44.039 --> 00:23:47.480 Yeah, I don't. I don't know. I'm definitely can agree with when 362 00:23:47.519 --> 00:23:49.839 I moved here. Hot dish was a brand new thing to me. What 363 00:23:51.039 --> 00:23:53.799 the hell is a hot dish? I've never heard of that before. So 364 00:23:55.880 --> 00:23:57.480 we're gonna wrap it up that that is the kind of the extended version of 365 00:23:57.480 --> 00:24:00.759 the Minnesota Goodbye as we try to knock out some of these emails that have 366 00:24:00.839 --> 00:24:04.920 been piling up. Thank you, thank you, thank you. And if 367 00:24:04.920 --> 00:24:08.519 you don't hear your email read on the Minnesota Goodbye, it could be because 368 00:24:08.599 --> 00:24:11.559 it was too long, or it's kind of a redundant kind of thing we've 369 00:24:11.559 --> 00:24:15.359 talked about later. Or there are definitely people writing in just to get a 370 00:24:15.440 --> 00:24:18.880 sticker, and I can't give you a sticker just for writing in. It's 371 00:24:18.920 --> 00:24:22.480 got to be something that we will read on the radio. But I love 372 00:24:22.599 --> 00:24:27.119 that you're writing in because I appreciate it so much. I do not look 373 00:24:27.160 --> 00:24:30.960 forward to sit in my kitchen counter and hand addressing all of these, isn't 374 00:24:32.000 --> 00:24:34.279 there There is? Obviously, you can buy a sheet of mailing labels, 375 00:24:34.319 --> 00:24:37.440 right, Jenny, and then type them in and send them and stick them 376 00:24:37.440 --> 00:24:41.079 on the envelope. Right. You totally can do that. I mean, 377 00:24:41.440 --> 00:24:44.119 we have mailion labels here you can use too, I think, but they 378 00:24:44.200 --> 00:24:48.920 might be too big, honestly, because we've got like hundreds of Minnesota goodbye 379 00:24:48.920 --> 00:24:51.440 emails now. Yeah, So all right, that is it for the Minnesota 380 00:24:51.480 --> 00:24:55.359 Goodbye. Thank you for sending in your emails. Thank you mostly for listening. 381 00:24:55.480 --> 00:24:57.160 Even if you never send an email, we still love that you're here 382 00:24:57.400 --> 00:24:59.279 and we'll see you next time.
