Minnesota. Goodbye. I have a question for you to start things off.
We don't have a lot of emails today, but we'll get to those in
a second. But do you think we gravitate in life towards safe things?
What do I mean by that? If you are in a relationship right now,
are they safe? In other words, you might have dated somebody who
was a little bit more interesting but also not quite safe, like maybe they
didn't always have enough money, or they were, I don't know, maybe
a little emotionally unavailable, or they kind of had a roving eye or a
sketchy passed or whatever, so they're a little bit more I'll use the word
dangerous, but I'll also use the word exciting. But then we gravitate in
our lives to someone who is safe. And I thought about this, and
I don't know what made me think about it, but Susan is very safe,
to the point that sometimes she's honestly, she's a little bit dull.
But at the same time I appreciate the safety in her. But I dated
Julie who was not safe. She was absolutely interesting and very fascinating, but
she had a lot of debt problems and she could be very unpredictable, So
I gravitated towards safe. Do you think that in life we gravitate away from
somebody who is exciting to somebody who is safe but a little bit boring,
and then later in life or in that relationship, three years later, ten
years later, we go, I miss exciting, Jenny, What do you
think? Yes, I think if you have the opportunity to have that variety,
you might do that. But like, uh, Andrew was my first
like real partner that I'd ever dated, and he I wouldn't ever have called
them like safe so much, but like we had a really good relationship.
But then I went out and I was like single and dating around and having
a lot of fun, and there was like one particular person that I just
like really liked, and I kept going towards them, even though they were
like the cheater, the doesn't text me back for forty eight hour situation and
once you like get sick of that shit, then you're good, Like,
in my opinion, you're good not to deal with stuff like that anymore.
Even though they were like super fun and exciting and whatever, It's like,
nah, I'm good, And like it's weird though, because I would almost
call Andrew both safe and exciting because yeah, he has a safe option and
I trust him, but like he's a very exciting human. So I think
a lot of people, though, do stay in relationships because they were burned
so badly before by other people that then when they find that person that they
like, trust or you know, are having a good time with, they're
like, Okay, this is good. You know, I think there's the
thing with and I agree, and I want you. The reason I bring
it up is number one, to see whether you agree as you're listening,
but also send me an email and let me know whether you agree that we
gravitate towards safe and then later in our lives we might go I'm bored and
that's why sometimes we cheat or get it because I'm with this safe person,
but they're also kind of boring. Let me know what you think. Next
email. Let's get started. Okay, here we go. This says for
the Minnesota goodbye, get your kolonoscovy. All the recent emails discussing poop got
me thinking about my own experience. No, not taking liberties in anybody's yard
on my long run, but the recommendation for having a kolonoscoby starting at age
forty five. Here is a PSA for your listeners. I'm in my mid
forties. I've had three klonoscovies in nine months. My first one standard for
turning forty five, that is the New Age recommendation. Seven pre cancerous polyps
were found at my first kolonoscoby, one of which was twelve millimeters, not
quite the size of a dime. I was told to have another in three
months to have it removed, and it had doubled in size. Doubled in
size. The pathologist told me said that they were pre cancerous and I had
a rare condition. My body create polyps very quickly, and I got to
have them for the rest of my life every three to six months. And
then basically they say colon cancer runs in my family. I was very fortunate
to have discovered this early on in life. I had zero symptoms, work
out daily, and eat relatively healthy. Moral of the story, get that
colin oscoviy. There's a stigma associated with the procedure. However, there are
alternative options, especially if there's no family history. Col of Guard is the
one where you poop on a stick and you send it in, and that
is one you can order online. Colon cancer is arguably the most preventable form
of cancer there is. Thanks for taking time to read my PSA. That
is from Marci, and she would like a sticker, So Marcia, I'm
going to send you a sticker. Julie died of colon cancer. One of
the reasons was she thought it was she had pain. She went in.
It was during COVID. They thought it was a hernia so they said,
we're not doing hernia surgery during COVID. By the time she came back for
hernia surgery, it was too late and she had stage four colon cancer and
she died. My experience with a kolonoscopy is like nothing. People are like,
ah, I don't want anything up my assh I got putting that up
my ass, especially guys, because they can be like there's a probably part
of in some little guy's corner of his mind. It's like, if I
want something up my ass, then I'm afraid that I'm gay. And I
think there are guys that think that, like it lowers your masculinity. Fuck
that it's nothing. People like, ah, sounds really uncomfortable. You don't
know it because you're ninety percent of sleep and you don't remember anything about it.
Yeah, have you ever had one? No? I mean I luckily
that doesn't run in my family. I am not of the age of forty
five yet, so I don't think I need to get one yet, because
according to everything I'm googling, you don't have to start getting I'm to you're
forty five. So now I just stick with the annual paps that I gotta
get. You know what I'm saying, Yeah, yeah, yeah, No,
I totally get that. And by the way, she says, oh,
she writes back, she said, I'm so sorry I rush to send
my email without properly greeting any of you. Dave, Jenny, Drake,
and maybe Bailey if she's there. Thank you for your fabulous podcast. Not
a day goes by that I don't listen to you on my way home from
work. Your voice is in hilarious banter, make me lol all by myself
in my car. Thanks for being such a constant in our lives. From
Marcy Marcy, thank you, I really appreciate that, and thank you for
the email. Let's look for another one. Let's see here. Jenny and
Drake did a great job with the show. While Dave was out Jenny,
you sounded really confident, which was so great. The first time you and
Drake were on alone, the nerves came across, which is totally normal,
not a diss at all, but to hear the growth this past week,
you guys did such a great job sec and I'm glad to know that because
that means I can go on vacation without worrying that there's going to be like
I don't know, Amateur Hour when I'm not here. It's funny because when
Fallon was new and Steve was here, they hated doing the show when I
wasn't here, even though Steve and Fallen loved each other. Steve would get
nervous because that is part of Steve's charm. He is like the nervous,
sweaty guy, and he would talk too much over Fallon and Fallen would try
to gather the reins back in, but then Steve would kind of wander off,
and then Steve would get annoyed with Fallon because she was trying to control
things, and they didn't like doing the show together. And they were very
happy when I got back. But I'm glad to hear things went well when
I was gone, because that means I can go on vacation and not worry
that there's going to because I really do care about the quality of the show
and I believe in you two well and I do too, So like I
mean, definitely, I have a lot of growth to do because, like
we say it all the time, Dave makes it look very easy what he
does. It is so complicated when it comes down to it, but Dave
is very talented and he makes it look easy. And so me jumping in
and trying to take over those first couple of times when you went on vacation
back in like December, I was, yeah, I can admit anxiety was
like very high. I was talking, oh yeah, totally. Yeah.
I was like I was prepared, but because I was anxious, my words
weren't always coming out the right way. So I do think that the last
week when we were doing it by ourselves was a little bit better than the
last time, but still lots of room to grow. Well, sure,
And you know, it's one of the things where I think I do make
it look easy because I've been doing it for I've worked at KTBB for more
than half of my life. I realized this the other day that I've literally
worked at KATWB for a few months, longer than half of my life,
and then I worked on a morning show for nine years before that and on
the radio for three years before that. So I do I think make it
look easy, and I think sometimes that people forget that it's really not easy
for somebody who's never done it before to jump in and keep eighteen balls in
the air at the same time. Yeah, anyway, have a great day.
I would love a staff writer sticker that is Sarah from Saint Cloud.
Sarah, your sticker will be on its way. I need to catch up
on mailing knowles out next one. Hello Dave in the morning show. I
want to do email and tell you a couple things. I listened to and
stay caught up on the podcast. Although I don't listen live to avoid annoying
song replays and commercials, and I like EDM better. I listened to the
newest podcast as soon as it was available. I've noticed for the past year
or two that listening that every episode you guys talk about something I had thought
about, talked about, or done just a day or two before. It's
crazy. Here's an example. There was an episode of Ways Back that you
were talking about going into a hotel and just having the breakfast. So in
other words, you go in and sneak the buffet, but you don't stay
there, Like, how would they know you're not staying there? My mother
and I had that same silly conversation the day before. So today I was
listening to your show and you brought up a Excision. Brought up Excision.
Decision is an DM band, and I think we played a clip of it
or something. Okay, So funny that that morning before listening, I had
just bought tickets to Excision. That also brings me to tell you what I'm
most excited about. In twenty twenty four, my nine year old boy is
nervous to go on a vacation due to the long car ride and fear of
flyne So I asked him if he wanted to go to his first concert,
saying he'd say Luke Colmbs instead. He says Excision. I found an all
ages Excision show, and those are the tickets I bought this morning. So
in other words, we talked about it. She buys it, We talked
about the motel breakfast. She does that anyway, She says, I'm wondering
if This is so for other listeners as well. Also, I've always wanted
to share an idea to ask listeners, what odd thing have you seen in
a movie or show that you've now picked up and doing your daily mine?
As I saw a girl in Oranges the New Black lick her cue tip to
get it wet, and I do that every time. Now, hey,
you don't clean much with a dry paper towel, so don't know if you'll
read it on the air, But I apologize for the longer message I had
to get it out. Love y'all. Thanks for being exactly who y'all are.
And they don't leave their name, but that's fine. I don't know
that there's anything that I have seen in a movie that I've done. Yeah,
I don't know either. I would never lick my Q tip because my
saliva in my ear kind of sounds gross. Well, I'm assuming just to
wet it before you actually put it in your ear. Still couldn't do it.
Yeah, I know you don't lick it. Afterwords, I was gonna
say no, I don't think I would do it either. I think the
faucet works just fine for that. Do you wet your que tip before you
stick it in your ear. I do one side wet, I put it
in that way, and then I keep the other side dry, and then
I use the dry side to kind of like clean up the wetness. I
guess, but I try to stick away from using Q tips because I hear
it's not good. Like I hear, you're just making it worse by trying
to get like you're pushing the ear wax in further. So I really don't
use Q tips very often. I've heard that too. I clean my ears
this morning because sometimes I just feel like I need to clean my ears,
and sometimes I look at the Q tip and I'm like, thank god I
did, because holy crap. I don't know if I read this one or
not. So if you recognize it, Jenny, let me know. Dave.
I've been listening to Dave Ryan Show on KTBDB probably since I was elementary,
but definitely middle school. For context, I'm a twenty six year old
male grew up in Burnsville, fond memories of listening to War of the Roses
sitting in the high school parking lot waiting for Dave to announce the jingle ball
lineup. I listen every morning, and my way to work and the Minnesota
Goodbye podcast on my way home, Love You and the whole team, Jenny
Drake and fallon Now in the afternoon. Something I have always been curious about
is what the Dave Ryan Show was like in the early to mid nineties when
you first started on KTWDB. Is there anything that has gone unchanged or is
the format very different? This could be in terms of content, segments,
et cetera, especially being pre social media. With love of staff writer sticker
if possible, and this is from Bailey, So let me take a picture
of your address, Bailey, and I'll get that out later. Yeah,
the show is totally different than it was back then. There was no personal
stories back then. Our show now is mostly about relatable things that we talk
about and we don't We used to do a ton of parody songs. We
used to send Pat out on the street to do wacky things and stunts,
and we used to send Jamie out to do semi dangerous, extreme Jamie stunts,
a lot of scripted skits, and we just don't do those anymore.
And it's not that they're not good, it's just that we've evolved through talking
about your personal life and some pop culture, and we get a lot of
stuff off of social media. Like the interview with Fred the chef, the
carving guy. I found that on social media. We brought him in and
interviewed him and it was really interesting to find out what he's up to and
how that all came about. That's it. Short on Time, Minnesota.
Goodbye. Email address Ryan Show at KDWB dot com. We need your emails.
Become a staff writer and email. Thank you so much.
