Let's do the Minnesota Goodbye. Welcome to the podcast for your first time or
new listener to the Minnesota Goodbye. It's called the Minnesota Goodbye because we should
have left by now, but we're still here. We're still saying goodbye.
So that's jump in. Hey, buddies, you've heard this million times,
but you're gonna hear it again. I love the new lineup. Bailey and
Vaught have so much chemistry with each other, and with Dave and Jenny.
The whole show is just a Nuah chef's kiss. I've really been getting great
feedback on the new show, the new lineup on the show, and I
think that you know, there are people are gonna bitch. They're gonna people
like bye. I don't like Vaughn he's too obnoxious, or Bailey needs to
shut up, or Dave needs to retire, or Jenny talks about farting all
the time. You know, there's always people who are negative, but you
know, we try to focus on the positive one. I can see though,
how some celebrities go. I don't check my social media anymore, right
for sure, I can definitely nderstand why they would not want to. But
thanks for the positives. I really appreciate that one. Anyway, here is
a question about the podcast. Provide a really dumb idea for the show.
I wouldn't even call it a bit, just something I noticed during my avid
listening, and I wanted to call out. Number one, Are there new
regulations for the amount of time as so song can be played on the podcast?
I've noticed over the past few weeks that any clips of songs are completely
cut out. Now this is during the morning show podcast, apparently not the
Minnesota Goodbye where we don't normally play music. For example, during the Mixtape
Game, the audio cutoff after each song literally was playing for one second.
I love the mixtape game. I was so excited to hear you guys,
we're going to bring it back, but it's disappointing to listen to without the
music. Part of the joy is listening to the song clip and then picturing
the scenario that it see if it fits. I know there are licensing considerations
for playing music on podcasts, but it's never been this short new requirements or
upload issue. It is same requirements but more in four I would say so
on the podcast, every song is a valuable entity, and just like you
create something, you don't want to give it away. We have full licensure,
We pay the licensing to play songs. On KATIEWB, we play a
lot and behind the scenes, there's been a lot of arguments over the years,
why should radio have to pay artists to play their songs when you could
argue they should pay us to play their songs because a lot of songs would,
especially before there was streaming in Apple Music and Spotify. You heard it
on the radio, and if you didn't hear it on the radio, you
didn't hear it. But forever radio station isn't played licensing to a couple of
different licensing companies, so that means we could not play If you're a radio
station that doesn't have the licensing, you can't play Taylor Swift or Chapel Roan
or Sabrina Carpenter. You can't. We can, but we cannot play it
on the podcast because we have licensing for on air but not on the podcast.
Yeah, I think we're allowed to play like clips of just like within
like Dave's Dirt. I believe that's like a new update. But yeah,
I've been I'm the one who does the podcast, and I've been cutting out
every single song because I do not want to get fined. Yeah, and
that's it. And and there used to be like, well it's only a
couple of seconds, but kind of an edict came down from corporate a week
or so ago that said no, really none. I did clarify it with
Rich and I said, what if we're doing new music Friday on Dave's Dirt
and I play a new Sabrina Carpenter song and he's like, well, just
keep the clips short, then I think we're okay. Yeah, here's an
interesting fun fact. If you go into a bar or a hair salon and
they are playing KATIEWB, they are actually breaking the law. Really, it's
true if they're playing what what if it's on streaming, no streaming. If
you're playing you can play KWB, but you can play music. So in
other words, Sabrina Carpenter should somehow, because she is enhancing your business experience,
she should somehow get compensated. But you hear it all the time.
You used to hear it in hair salons a lot before they got streaming.
You go into a hair salon and most of them played KATWB, And I
mean, I don't care, but that is actually breaking the law. Weird,
Yeah, because you don't have a license. If you work at holiday
station stores and you're playing KATWB, you're breaking the law. I'm all for
it. I love that you're listening. How we get people a lesson.
So that's what I want to happen next one. We read it on the
the show earlier, she says, I really want to hear a compilation of
Bailey has saying I'm hungry during the show. She says it every day since
she started. It's adorable. You should make a mix out of the audio,
maybe even a parody song sung by Bailey, because lord knows she doesn't
sing enough on the show. Winky face. That's it worth a staff writer
sticker if so, here's my address and I'll expect my sticker to arrive by
twenty twenty five at the earliest. I'm hungry. That's Jen in Zimmerman.
Jen, you are a very charming writer, and I really appreciate you,
so thank you. Demante is a regular staff writer. Damante writes in and
says, I want to give some advice to the listener that emailed about her
husband losing weight and not wanting to be left behind. She should try the
Keto diet along with intermittent fasting and exercise. Quick backstory. When I started
working for UPS six years ago, I was three hundred and fifty pounds.
Wow. I started during the summer at twenty eighteen. It was a very
hot summer. I lost thirty pounds in like a month. People don't realize,
but we do a lot more walking than driving at UPS. I walk
about ten miles a day on average. This prompted my wife, who was
also about two sixty, to start the Keto diet along with intermittent fasting and
daily exercise. Once I started the Keto diet and the fasting, the weight
just fell off. A year later I was down one hundred and fifty pounds
and my wife lost one hundred. Six years later, we have both kept
the weight off. We just had to permanently change eating exercise habits. I've
attached to photo my wife cropped together of me on my first day and when
she took a year later, and I will describe this to you. Here
is July six, twenty eighteen, of Dumonte in his UPS uniform walking looking
way different than he does in one year later. August of twenty nineteen,
yeah, intermittent fasting is like really works. I had an ex who did
that and lost like sixty pounds in like a handful of months. But then
it's really hard to like keep it off because intermittent fasting is not like,
you know what you naturally did your entire life until you've decided to do it.
Can you tell me how it works? Example, Yeah, like you
only eat like for a specific window of time during the day, so that
like if it's nine am to three pm, like you can eat during that
time, but then you just don't eat for the rest of the day,
okay, So or they do it like you know, you can eat in
this window in the morning and this window at night, but than none other
times. I was just listening to a podcast. It's called The Diary of
a CEO, So I do really trust the people that are on it because
it's a very very good podcast and he gets like crazy like intelligent people on
and he had a woman on there who wrote a book about intermittent intermittent fasting
and how it's like one of the main things to help women lose weight.
It like obviously works for men as well, but women's bodies are just so
different. And so something works for a men so much or a man so
much easier than it does for a woman. But like intermittent fasting was really
good, And I will say that, like I just think I personally just
believe in eating healthy. I think diets are like not the best way to
go about losing weight because then you fall off and then you just go back
to what it is. But I would say that keto and Mediterranean diets are
the top two that I've ever heard are like more feasible and closer to like
how you can still engage in your daily life and enjoy foods and not be
like so restricted, and then you can still do it after you're done dieting.
I think that's the thing. Jenny, and you hit the nail on
the head. Everybody knows you diet. You lose a lot of weight,
and then you go, okay, well I'm good, I got down to
my goal weight. And then you start to relax and then pretty soon you
put it all on. Do you know that ozimpic? We found this out
from Livia because Bailey and I go to Livia once a week and we get
a B twelve injection. It's called B twelve LiPo and they do it in
your arm and it's supposed to be good for you energy, mood, and
also there is a side benefit of weight loss. And Bailey and I are
going in for injection number three later on today, and I don't know that
I notice a whole lot of difference because my energy is pretty good anyway,
and I think I have lost some weight with it, but I think that
it maybe just makes me feel like I'm doing something else to stay healthy and
lose weight. So I guess I'll be interested to see if I end up
actually losing any weight, because I feel the same way where I'm not sure
if there's any difference or not, so I guess i'll find out. Well.
I think maybe we're still pretty early in the program too, so but
I have high hopes for it because we looked into it and it's rather benign.
And when I say benign, there's no ill effects from it. But
if you go on Ozimpic, which so many people are on right now,
and you lose the weight, well, after a while, it stops being
effective and you will gain back everything that you lost and more. And that's
the hard part about any diet. I'll tell you a quick story, nothing
to do with ozimpic. But a guy I knew who was probably about four
hundred pounds, he lost so much weight, like a couple of hundred pounds
by eating nothing but popcorn and diet coke. So you're full, but there's
no nutrients. You are full of popcorn, but no nutrients, and he
lost it all and he had some health problems from it, and then he
gained it all back. Yeah, that's what I was gonna say. That
it just feels like you're rotting and your body was something like that. I
get it that there's crazy things out there. You did weird diets every once
in a while, didn't you, back in the day, for like radio
stuff. Well, I did. The weirdest one was I heard that sardines
are one of the purest foods on the planet because they're at the bottom of
the food chain, so they haven't been ingested by other mercury bearing fish or
lead bearing fish or whatever. So sardines are the bottom of the food chain.
So sardines are full of protein, but it's healthy because they're pure,
if you want to use the word pure. And then pumpkin pumpkin pie filling
is full of fiber without a lot of sugars. So I would mix sardines
with pumpkin pie filling. It wasn't that bad. Really, it's very filling.
Yeah, but you like sardines period. I don't like sardines. I've
never eat sardines. I would try it, but I feel like I wouldn't
like it. Do you like fish? I do like fish, Then you
probably like sardines. They're gross to look at They're just gross to look at
it. Yeah, eyeballs, right, No, you don't see their little
eye they cut off the heads and tails. No, no, little eyballs.
Don't say my name. Hello, lovely people. I got a requestion
for you. If you remain unmarried, if and when does the term boyfriend
or girlfriend ever become cringe or not enough to describe your commitment in history?
Using partner in American relationships still seems like it's more often used for gay couples,
but it seems fairly common in Europe for hetero couples to be partnered for
many, many years and have children together without marriage or use the term partner.
Jenny, if you and Andrew don't get married, will you continue to
calling your boyfriend in the future just curious. I've never really thought about it,
but now that you have me thinking about it, I think I would
probably use partner, because I do use the word partner a lot now,
just because I think that, like, I don't know, I think that
that's like respectful to where our society is nowadays to refer to your partner as
a partner versus boyfriend or girlfriend just because you don't know, like whateveryone's sexuality
might be. So I would probably just start calling him partner in the future.
But yeah, as of right now, I do still call my boyfriend.
Okay. Yeah, I have plenty of heterosexual friends who are in relationships
and they say partner. I feel like it's I feel like, yeah,
once you reach a certain age, like you're writing about, you just kind
of stop using boyfriend and girlfriend. You just start saying partner, like just
kind of by accident. Okay, yeah, next one. Remember last week
we were just somebody called in and they were very funny and they had a
tongue in cheek, but they said, if you have a black Minnesota license
plate, you are douche And you're seeing these more and more. I didn't
really notice them until somebody pointed them out. But I was in the parking
garage the other day and it's like three cars in a row had a black
Minnesota license plate. So Aaron writes in and she says, damn, I
wish I could to capture this photo last week when we were talking about this
on the show. Could not have captured the POV better than this. And
it is a Honda Civic. It's black with a black Minnesota license plate.
And the it says yes, daddy, Oh God, why as dad?
Why yeah, daddy, Gaddy. I think that's hysterical. Aaron, thanks
for sending it in. And they do all start if they don't have like
a vanity plate, they do start with z's. They mentioned that too in
the email last week. All do start with z's. The black ones dou
Yeah, I didn't know how wild. Now this is not a happy email,
but it's very sweet. And I want to throw this in because it's
not normal Minnesota Goodbye content, but I'm gonna throw it in. I'm listening
to the Minnesota Goodbye from seven to two. So a couple of days yesterday
and you're all talking about what to do with an old wedding dress. I
have a suggestion for the listener. There is an organization called the Angel Gown
Program. This organization takes wedding dresses and hands so's dresses and gowns for babies
who were born sleeping. Oftentimes, babies who are born with their wings are
too small for any of the clothes that are sold in stores and there isn't
anything for them to wear when they are spending time with their parents before they
say goodbye. I told you this was sad. The organization collects the dresses
and makes the outfits and then sends the hospitals and nick us for the nurses
to dress the babies in. Many gowns and outfits could be made using just
one wedding dress. It is a wonderful use for a dress, and you
know it's appreciated by grieving parents. Just wanted to share in case any of
your listeners are interested. Here is their website. Nick You Helping hands dot
org. Nick You Helping Hands dot org. Christy. That is a wonderful
email and is not normally what we would read on the Minnesota goodbye, but
I thought it was very sweet and we will leave it at that so we
don't get too sad. Next one, this is we were talking about getting
lost during the Daily Bailey mm hmm about getting talking about lost children and safe
strangers. Oh yes, how did we come up with this one? I
saw a TikTok that said that if you are a kid and you're lost in
the mall, look for a woman with a crossbody bag, and that woman
will help you find your family, just because I guess cross body bags give
off the impression that your trustworthy, maybe practical, and can get stuff done,
okay. And then I told the story about how I was at the
Eden Prairie ball Fields about ten years ago and there I don't remember exactly what
happened, but it was a boy and his sister. They were probably eight
and ten years old, and they were lost, and I'm like, are
you guys okay now you're lost or whatever? And they said, yeah,
I can't find my mom. So I said, we'll climb in the car.
We'll drive around until we find your mom. So we found their mom,
and I told them as they got out of the car, I said,
it was okay to get in the car with me, but never ever
get into the car with the stranger. And you know, you can tell
your mom that it's fine. But don't ever get into a car with a
stranger. So we talked about losing children and safe strangers. When I was
in kindergarten, says Kelsey, I tried walking home from school because I was
afraid of a bully on the bus. And there's a little more details than
we need to get into, but she says, I didn't want to get
into the bus line, so I wanted to walk home instead. But I
got lost and a paneled van pulled up and parked near me. The man
driving it said, I'm here to help you. He said, your son,
my son is in your class, his daughter's in my brother's class.
I'm on the pta. I knew the kids he was talking about, so
I got into his van to wait. Fortunately he was telling the truth.
We waited in his van where he found me and he called the police.
They brought me to the police station and my brother's cub scout troop picked me
up and we went out for ice cream. Okay, so happy ending,
And if you're an innocent little kid, she was remember in kinder garden,
which is crazy young to be walking home alone. I didn't think about that
experience again until I was in high school and found a letter to the editor
clipped out of the local newspaper about that situation, written by my dad.
He was angry the police because the PTA parents said when the cops came,
they didn't actually want to deal with me. The man had to physically put
me in the cop car before they would take me to the station. The
experience came back to me when Dave talked about finding and returning the lost kids
at the Eden Prairie Ballpark. It reminded me of the PTA parent who found
me and how scary it should have been. Luckily I ran into the right
person that day. I hope you all have a great day, Kelsey.
Yeah, you know what. I think that the great majority of all people
are good people. And I think that's another discussion. Are people inherently good
or inherently bad? Yeah? I mean, i'd say also good. But
then there's definitely like who's approachable, Because I even if everyone's good, I
ain't approaching somebody doesn't look like I could trust them, So no, right,
And I think it's true. But remember the movie Home Alone. We
remember the creepy neighbor that lived next door to Kevin McAllister. He didn't like
him. He was creepy, but when he got to know him, he
realized that he was a very very good person. So you cannot bailey J
hass sometimes they're creepy and they are creepy though. Well that is true.
But we do we judge people on their looks. Yes, And if you're
sitting here telling me that you don't judge people, fuck off, because we
do. We judge people all the time. That is part of our biology,
our brain chemistry. We have gut instincts, we have the gift of
fear. So if you look at a dog that is barking and snarling and
his tail is down and his ears are up, you have built in judgment
that dog is going to bite you. So if you think that you don't
judge people based on their appearance, fuck off. Yes you do. We
all do. I think it's a mixture though, of demeanor and appearance,
because I think it's like how someone carries themselves. So you're saying the home
alone example, Yeah, that person looked very very scary. They weren't like
this hideous person you couldn't look at. It's just that they looked like their
demeanor was scary. They weren't wearing nice clothes, whatever. So I think
it's more of like how someone carries himself, if they're smiling, if they
seem friendly, okay, mixed with how they look. Let me ask you
this one. If you're in line and there are multiple people accepting customers.
Let's say you're at the airport. Yeah, well you're checking in for an
overseas flight or whatever, and there's multiple people checking people in. They're the
ones that you want to have help you and the ones that you hope you
don't get because there are the ones that just look a little bit confused and
stupid. Mm hmm. That's anywhere too, right, I mean at the
airport, yeah, or at I mean DMP at grocery store. You can
look at somebody who looks confused and stupid in cash check out lane number three
and go, mmmm, no, am I wrong? No, you're not
wrong. I literally went to Cheapo yesterday, the record store, and I
had my option of going up to a man to ask him a question or
going up to a girl with green hair. And I wanted to go up
to the girl with green hair because I was like, she's a it's nice.
That's a guy. I'm gonna ask her instead. Why do you hate
men? You know a lot of reasons, but let me get my scroll
out. Hold on, No, see, I know you're joking and kind
of but I understand that you prefer the girl with the green hair. But
that's one thing that I don't judge people by their sex, because I'll never
be like, no, I'm not going to go to the woman because she's
a woman. Let me go to a man. I feel like I naturally
i'm more drawn to asking women questions. I get that, yeah, and
that's kind of who you're more comfortable with being a woman having to ask the
guy the question because the green haired girl walked in the back right when I
was about to ask, So don't even worry. I see, I look
at the green haired girl, and I'd be like, look at her with
all the piercings in her face. I'm not going to ask her. Shit,
I'm judging nice young gentleman. Who's ask this guy? Clean cut young
man over there. I'm going to ask him was he clean cut? Working
at cheapl He was? And I actually I think I know him, but
I don't know how I know him, And I didn't want to say,
how do I know you because I thought that'd be weird, so I mean
maybe okay, but I recognize him. Interesting little sidebar are Anyway, let's
see if we get another one. There's a lot about Wogov and ozimpic,
so let's see if I can dive into one here. Basically, this was
about the woman who felt a little bit bad because her husband was given ozimpic
and he was losing weight. But she struggles and she's trying to stay active
and eat healthy. The story resonated with me deeply because I got a similar
situation. Boyfriend on ozimpic because he's got diabetes. I don't have it,
so it was not an option. But I felt comfortable enough with my primary
doctor to share my frustrations and struggles about losing weight despite being active and eating
well. I've been on a yo yo with my weight for years, my
doctor said with GOV. It took quite a bit of paperwork with my insurance
company and a long way to the pharmacy do too limited supply. But I
got my medication and I've lost thirteen pounds, which is significant for someone who
like me, is five foot one. Wow, that's a lot of weight.
One important thing about with gophy is I have regular checkups with my doctor,
monitor my progress and get nutrition advice. To the woman that wrote in,
I want to encourage you. Your feelings are valid. We all agreed
on that you're human. Of course, It's kind of like when your best
friend gets a great, great job and you say, good job, Charlotte,
and you're still stuck at working over at what a burger? You know,
so you're happy, but at the same time, you're human. Yes,
they go on to say, it's okay to feel the way you do.
Please talk to your doctor about your struggles. There might be options available
that you haven't considered yet. Stay strong, keep working on your health,
and remember it's okay to ask for help. You've got this. To the
Dave Ryan Show crew, thank you for being a part of my day and
keeping us all company. Thank you, and that's going to do it for
the Minnesota goodbye. Love the emails today, Thank you. Send more,
We love them. Send them to Ryan's show at KDWB dot com.
