WEBVTT 1 00:00:01.040 --> 00:00:06.879 Ask and thou shalt receive. I don't know if that's in the Bible or 2 00:00:07.240 --> 00:00:11.039 not either. I haven't heard that one before the Bible. I should say, 3 00:00:11.199 --> 00:00:14.359 you know, I think that there was one that said the Lord helps 4 00:00:14.400 --> 00:00:19.079 those who help themselves. That's also not in the Bible. No, but 5 00:00:19.120 --> 00:00:22.960 I did find out in the Bible that that Jesus apparently died in an ATV 6 00:00:23.120 --> 00:00:25.399 accident. You found that out from the Bible. Yeah, the Bible and 7 00:00:25.960 --> 00:00:29.120 that Bible from Uh, well, I got in the middle isle at all, 8 00:00:29.199 --> 00:00:32.200 the the middle of the center isle at Aldi. So it's a it's 9 00:00:32.240 --> 00:00:36.439 a it's an unusual Bible. Let's get to this. So we asked for 10 00:00:36.560 --> 00:00:39.439 emails, and we got a bunch of emails. So let's get started. 11 00:00:40.159 --> 00:00:46.799 I like this one. My husband wants to be a sperm donor to help 12 00:00:46.880 --> 00:00:52.159 people and have some extra income. We've got three kids, we're done expanding 13 00:00:52.200 --> 00:00:56.000 our family. I'm hesitant to agree because it would take time away from our 14 00:00:56.000 --> 00:00:58.840 family and or work, because he'd have to drive about ninety minutes to do 15 00:00:58.880 --> 00:01:03.039 this. They prefer week donations. The bigger thing for me is it seems 16 00:01:03.079 --> 00:01:06.680 weird to have half of his DNA out there that our kids also have. 17 00:01:06.840 --> 00:01:11.200 He crunched the numbers and even with possible lost wages and gas money, he'd 18 00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:14.280 still have a net gain. Am I wrong to disagree with him? Or 19 00:01:14.319 --> 00:01:15.840 should I let this go? It seems like there are other ways to help 20 00:01:15.879 --> 00:01:22.079 people, right from I'm not going to say her name. I don't think 21 00:01:22.120 --> 00:01:26.280 he should do it because I also don't like the idea of DNA out there, 22 00:01:26.239 --> 00:01:32.400 even it's anonymous. I don't think it's fair to your children to know 23 00:01:32.519 --> 00:01:37.400 they have a half sibling out there that they'll never meet or that might approach 24 00:01:37.480 --> 00:01:40.239 them one day, and I don't like it. There's a lot of laws 25 00:01:40.280 --> 00:01:45.120 and stuff in terms of kids finding out their biological parents, but I feel 26 00:01:45.120 --> 00:01:48.840 like kids eventually do want to find out, even if they're adopted and with 27 00:01:48.959 --> 00:01:52.640 it or not adopted, But if they go through whatever procedure to agree, 28 00:01:53.000 --> 00:01:56.400 it's like, eventually they do probably want to find out who the actual father 29 00:01:56.560 --> 00:02:00.239 is biologically. And then do they have the right to Well, they don't 30 00:02:00.239 --> 00:02:02.519 need to have the right. They can do twenty three and me, I 31 00:02:02.519 --> 00:02:07.239 mean think, yeah, they can do ancestry or whatever. So somewhere down 32 00:02:07.239 --> 00:02:10.879 the road in thirty years when it's even more advanced, they can probably within 33 00:02:10.919 --> 00:02:17.560 a few clicks find your children and they might know that dad was a sperm 34 00:02:17.599 --> 00:02:22.080 donor, or they might not know. And can you imagine. And I'm 35 00:02:22.120 --> 00:02:24.840 not saying that sperm nobody should be a sperm donor. I'm saying it's not 36 00:02:24.919 --> 00:02:29.400 for me. It is not for me. It is not nobody would want 37 00:02:29.439 --> 00:02:35.280 my sperm anyway. But no, it's it's it's something that you've got to 38 00:02:35.319 --> 00:02:42.000 realize that it's not undetectable, it's not top secret anymore. Yeah. Right, 39 00:02:42.120 --> 00:02:44.240 so you had a problem with it, I would say that you have 40 00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:50.719 a right to his sperm. Yeah. I believe that your partners, you're 41 00:02:50.759 --> 00:02:53.080 a couple, you have a big say in this. Tell them to get 42 00:02:53.080 --> 00:02:58.000 a part I said. And the fact that you guys have kids together already, 43 00:02:58.120 --> 00:03:00.639 I think that that plays a huge role in it. Tell him that 44 00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:07.120 he should get a part time job working at the UPS store. I mean, 45 00:03:07.159 --> 00:03:10.280 seriously, I would not want that. I think it's admirable that he 46 00:03:10.319 --> 00:03:15.560 wants to, but doing it for money, I don't know. And it's 47 00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:21.080 just no, there's our for an answer. Next one, Alexander says, 48 00:03:21.560 --> 00:03:25.479 I was online shopping tonight, and I kid you not there was an option 49 00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:30.800 to tip. Had to share it because it was just too funny. Picture 50 00:03:30.840 --> 00:03:34.319 below to prove it. And then she is talking about how she is ordering 51 00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:38.439 something for one hundred and twenty nine dollars, No, for seven dollars, 52 00:03:38.439 --> 00:03:43.960 there's the coupon, blah blah blah, and then oh, I'm looking at 53 00:03:43.960 --> 00:03:46.159 the part where it says tip, Oh, add a tip. There it 54 00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:52.960 is add a tip. Show your support for the team at Belllement belelmint. 55 00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:55.000 I don't know what that is, but you could add a tip, but 56 00:03:55.039 --> 00:04:00.319 it's not really a tip. It says show your support for the team, 57 00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:06.039 and so they want extra money. Would you online shopping? It doesn't say 58 00:04:06.039 --> 00:04:10.599 tip us because the computer did all the work, but it says show your 59 00:04:10.599 --> 00:04:15.439 support for the team at Bellament would you tip? And that's a situation No 60 00:04:15.800 --> 00:04:19.759 no, my answer never absolutely not. Well, I don't under what did 61 00:04:19.800 --> 00:04:25.160 they do for you. They're doing their job, you're showing support. Maybe 62 00:04:25.199 --> 00:04:30.000 they need extra money. And those people are hopefully being paid a livable wage, 63 00:04:30.279 --> 00:04:34.240 whereas people like servers don't get paid as much of a livable wage, 64 00:04:34.240 --> 00:04:38.079 and they're providing a full time service for like an hour of your time. 65 00:04:38.240 --> 00:04:41.600 There's just a very big difference. You just sat and ordered on something on 66 00:04:41.639 --> 00:04:44.000 your computer. What did that person do for you? Okay, but what 67 00:04:44.040 --> 00:04:46.920 about I'm just arguing for the sake of argument. What about the person who 68 00:04:47.519 --> 00:04:53.879 fixes the software or installs the software, or who packs the boxes. The 69 00:04:53.920 --> 00:04:57.319 tip is not going to the computer. It's going to a person behind the 70 00:04:57.319 --> 00:05:00.040 scenes. What do you think now? Okay, I still say no. 71 00:05:00.439 --> 00:05:03.560 I just I feel like we are getting to a place in society where every 72 00:05:03.600 --> 00:05:09.240 single industry is going to start having a tip on whatever they do. We're 73 00:05:09.240 --> 00:05:13.319 going to start asking listeners for tips like it's just insane. Well, I 74 00:05:13.319 --> 00:05:15.639 think that's true, and I think it's part of the I'm special culture, 75 00:05:16.279 --> 00:05:20.879 which is the you can't offend me. You're not allowed to offend me. 76 00:05:20.959 --> 00:05:26.560 You're not allowed to have a different political opinion than me, and if you 77 00:05:26.600 --> 00:05:30.600 do, I've got it is my responsibility to change your political opinion or at 78 00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:35.199 least let you know how rotten you are. It is also the I'm special, 79 00:05:35.319 --> 00:05:40.360 you need to tip me culture, So it's the don't offend me and 80 00:05:40.399 --> 00:05:45.240 treat me like I'm somebody special. My opinion is obviously more valuable than yours. 81 00:05:45.720 --> 00:05:47.560 So if you don't have the same opinion and you don't want to tip 82 00:05:47.600 --> 00:05:53.160 me, then you are victimizing me. Jenny, You're victimizing me. Oh 83 00:05:53.240 --> 00:05:56.160 my god. I just can't. I can't do it. It's just the 84 00:05:56.240 --> 00:06:00.759 never ending argument. Now. I feel like it's bigger than who should be 85 00:06:00.759 --> 00:06:02.920 the next president. It's whether you should tip out a certain place or not. 86 00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:08.160 Jenny, who should be the next president? No? No, no 87 00:06:08.160 --> 00:06:12.920 no. Next question, Guys, got a question for you. When it 88 00:06:12.959 --> 00:06:15.839 comes to the Taylor Swift Trip contest, how is the winner picked? Is 89 00:06:15.879 --> 00:06:19.120 it all luck of the draw? Do you scroll through the names with your 90 00:06:19.120 --> 00:06:24.040 eyes closed and then stop with whoever the cursor is on wins? I don't 91 00:06:24.040 --> 00:06:27.160 know. We don't pick them personally, but I think it's pretty close to 92 00:06:28.920 --> 00:06:31.680 they do it back in promotions. I'm going to guess there is systems that 93 00:06:31.720 --> 00:06:35.279 they use to draw names, yes, because I've used them at events before 94 00:06:35.399 --> 00:06:40.279 where you had to go online and all the people's information were entered in and 95 00:06:40.279 --> 00:06:44.439 then you call like it basically, it is like a spin situation. It 96 00:06:44.560 --> 00:06:47.560 spins and picks a name, And that totally makes sense to me. I 97 00:06:47.639 --> 00:06:51.079 don't know because we just don't draw. We used to draw them literally out 98 00:06:51.120 --> 00:06:55.079 of a paper cup, like slips of paper. But now with computers, 99 00:06:55.120 --> 00:06:59.600 I'm sure we have something that randomizes that. I personally know the winner of 100 00:06:59.600 --> 00:07:02.560 the pair trip Shawna, and it was so awesome to hear her reaction live 101 00:07:02.600 --> 00:07:05.720 on the radio. She was so happy. There is honestly no one who 102 00:07:05.800 --> 00:07:10.319 deserves that trip more than she and her husband. They have four little ones 103 00:07:10.360 --> 00:07:14.120 at home working, her running a small business on the side. I think 104 00:07:14.160 --> 00:07:17.439 it's so amazing in such a luck moment, the universe works in wonderful ways. 105 00:07:17.480 --> 00:07:23.000 I felt like Christmas Wish was happening all over again. And of course, 106 00:07:23.160 --> 00:07:25.680 like every other email you get, I hope you're not sick of hearing 107 00:07:25.680 --> 00:07:28.480 it. I wanted to end it by saying how great you guys are, 108 00:07:28.600 --> 00:07:31.680 and thanks for all of your hard work and dedication to making sure all of 109 00:07:31.720 --> 00:07:35.399 us listeners have that safe space and a sense of comfort when we need it. 110 00:07:36.040 --> 00:07:41.199 You're so welcome, Paige. That is very nice. I really enjoy 111 00:07:41.319 --> 00:07:46.639 being that space for people. It's so funny because I met a girl on 112 00:07:46.639 --> 00:07:48.920 the plane last night and I actually put her a picture on Instagram because she 113 00:07:48.959 --> 00:07:51.399 was so funny and charming, and she said, I don't want to be 114 00:07:51.399 --> 00:07:55.560 a creep, but are you Dave Ryan? And I said you're a creep 115 00:07:55.600 --> 00:08:00.759 and she laughed, which I immediately laughed. Liked her because she laughed when 116 00:08:00.800 --> 00:08:05.959 I was trying to be funny and she was. She talked about how she 117 00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:09.639 went to a wizard camp and I'm like, no, that's super nerdy. 118 00:08:09.639 --> 00:08:13.199 But I said, I went to a magic convention and I'm nerdy too. 119 00:08:13.240 --> 00:08:16.879 I said, I play the ukulele. She's like, I know you play 120 00:08:16.920 --> 00:08:18.959 the ukulele. I know you went to a magic convention. I listened to 121 00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:24.399 your show all the time. Yeah, And it was like, okay, 122 00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:28.959 that's cool. So people come for I think the sense of connection definitely a 123 00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:33.440 safe space and it's not just you know. She was thirty eight. She 124 00:08:33.480 --> 00:08:35.879 told me she's thirty eight. Met a guy in the hallway painting. They're 125 00:08:35.879 --> 00:08:41.279 people painting the hallways and I'm walking to the bathroom. He's like, so, 126 00:08:41.320 --> 00:08:48.639 how's Carson liking his touring job in Los Angeles? And here's a guy 127 00:08:48.679 --> 00:08:52.200 who's probably thirty thirty five and he also listens to the show. And I 128 00:08:52.240 --> 00:08:56.679 just think It's so cool how people listen and connect to the show anyway. 129 00:08:56.720 --> 00:09:00.519 She says, sorry for the long email, but thanks for taking the time 130 00:09:00.600 --> 00:09:07.200 at dart Licky Dart Sticky. That was creative. Thank you. Page next 131 00:09:07.240 --> 00:09:09.480 one might be long, but you said you need emails, so here you 132 00:09:09.559 --> 00:09:15.000 go from Shyleen. Every time I hear that Kasha and Maclamore song, I 133 00:09:15.159 --> 00:09:18.320 cry, so thanks for that. We talked about the good old days last 134 00:09:18.360 --> 00:09:22.960 week or earlier this week, Yes, yesterday was yesterday. Kind of a 135 00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:28.440 topic for the good old days and how fast they go by. My two 136 00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:31.320 oldest kids are in flag football right now, ages ten and five. When 137 00:09:31.360 --> 00:09:37.200 my ten year old was five playing flag football, I remember seeing the ten 138 00:09:37.240 --> 00:09:41.919 year olds playing and thinking they're so big and they're actually playing a football game. 139 00:09:41.559 --> 00:09:45.799 Five year old's playing football is like a bunch of penguins running around. 140 00:09:45.799 --> 00:09:48.559 That's funny. Now my ten year old is one of those big kids, 141 00:09:48.559 --> 00:09:52.480 and it's just insane to me how fast time goes by. Dave, I'm 142 00:09:52.519 --> 00:09:56.120 sure you experienced that all the time with your kids growing up. Time is 143 00:09:56.159 --> 00:10:00.799 such a thief. Oh absolutely, I mean it will make me tear up 144 00:10:00.840 --> 00:10:07.039 and it boggles my mind how Carson was just a little boy before his voice 145 00:10:07.120 --> 00:10:13.840 changed. It wasn't that long ago. He's twenty three, so literally thirteen 146 00:10:13.919 --> 00:10:18.720 years ago he was in fifth grade. Yeah, and I know thirteen years 147 00:10:18.799 --> 00:10:22.000 is a long time, but at the same time, it's not really in 148 00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:28.720 the scope of things. Next topic from the same writer, I feel bad 149 00:10:28.759 --> 00:10:31.080 for kids these days. The screens and lack of interaction with one another is 150 00:10:31.120 --> 00:10:37.000 sad. Parents having Life three sixty and other tracking devices on their phones prevents 151 00:10:37.080 --> 00:10:39.919 them from sneaking out and going to a party at midnight like we used to. 152 00:10:41.480 --> 00:10:46.159 My parents never really knew where we were. We could say we're spending 153 00:10:46.159 --> 00:10:50.320 the night somewhere and not be there and they would never know. Kind of 154 00:10:50.399 --> 00:10:56.679 sucks for them in my opinion. Yeah, we track Carson, but honestly, 155 00:10:56.639 --> 00:11:00.120 I don't think he cares that we track him. He knows he and 156 00:11:00.200 --> 00:11:01.799 go wherever he wants to. If he wants to go to like a you 157 00:11:01.799 --> 00:11:05.840 know, a crack house in downtown LA, we're not going to stop him. 158 00:11:07.000 --> 00:11:09.200 Well, you also wouldn't really know what he was up to. You 159 00:11:09.279 --> 00:11:11.759 just assume he's out exploring LA. If you were checking in on him, 160 00:11:11.799 --> 00:11:16.000 you know. Yeah, but I mean I agree with that that it kind 161 00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:20.679 of sucks for kids nowadays, because I definitely snuck out a couple times in 162 00:11:20.720 --> 00:11:24.080 my like high school era. I think even in middle school I snuck out 163 00:11:24.120 --> 00:11:28.120 a couple of times. But I don't know. I guess it's just like 164 00:11:28.200 --> 00:11:31.960 the technology world that everyone's growing up in now. It's just what, it's 165 00:11:31.039 --> 00:11:35.840 just a different time. I had a girlfriend when I was I think nineteen, 166 00:11:35.919 --> 00:11:39.080 and she was eighteen, and she of course lived at home, which 167 00:11:39.120 --> 00:11:43.159 is very common for anybody who's eighteen, and I lived at home too, 168 00:11:43.279 --> 00:11:46.600 so we didn't have a place to go, so she sneaked well, she 169 00:11:46.600 --> 00:11:50.320 didn't sneak out. She said she was spending the night at her girlfriend's house, 170 00:11:50.840 --> 00:11:54.519 and she came down to the radio station with me and hung out during 171 00:11:54.559 --> 00:12:00.679 my show. Afterward, we drank wine in the in my car in the 172 00:12:00.720 --> 00:12:03.399 parking lot. She was underage and I'd gotten wine somehow, and then we 173 00:12:03.440 --> 00:12:07.600 went to the midnight movie and slept on the general manager's couch at the radio 174 00:12:07.639 --> 00:12:13.000 station. We got away with it then because nobody knew where we were. 175 00:12:13.000 --> 00:12:16.320 My mom and dad didn't care. They were like, you know, whatever, 176 00:12:16.279 --> 00:12:20.720 But her mom and dad thought she was at her friend's house. You 177 00:12:20.759 --> 00:12:24.320 could never do that now because they'd be like, wait, why are you 178 00:12:24.399 --> 00:12:28.279 at a radio station? Yeah, next topic, I think you guys were 179 00:12:28.279 --> 00:12:31.120 talking about remaking songs. Got me thinking about how many old songs they use 180 00:12:31.200 --> 00:12:37.159 for movies today. All my kids are always shocked to hear that all the 181 00:12:37.240 --> 00:12:41.879 songs in the movie Sing are actually old songs and not songs made for the 182 00:12:41.919 --> 00:12:45.759 movie. Songs by Whitney Houston and You too are in the movie with a 183 00:12:45.759 --> 00:12:48.799 bunch of other old songs. My ten year old and his friends were jamming 184 00:12:48.840 --> 00:12:54.559 out to Journey the other day, and they love Michael Jackson other than Taylor 185 00:12:54.679 --> 00:12:58.039 Swift. Do you think there are any popular artists in the past five years 186 00:12:58.399 --> 00:13:01.960 that your grandkids will be listening to in ten or fifteen years. I cannot 187 00:13:01.000 --> 00:13:05.960 think of any that will still be relevant or ten to twenty years. I 188 00:13:07.039 --> 00:13:09.159 love music from the seventies and eighties. I'm born in nineteen eighty five, 189 00:13:09.279 --> 00:13:15.679 so they're thirty four, no, thirty eight, thirty nine years old. 190 00:13:16.080 --> 00:13:20.919 Journey, Whitney Houston, Bon Jovi are still so popular today and played at 191 00:13:20.919 --> 00:13:24.039 every wedding. Will our grandkids be listening to? Aiming but Bobby, in 192 00:13:24.080 --> 00:13:26.799 the next twenty years, that's it have a great week. That's from Shay. 193 00:13:28.480 --> 00:13:35.840 That is a very true thing. Are there any artists now that are 194 00:13:35.919 --> 00:13:39.679 going to create a song other than Taylor Swift that people will still be listening 195 00:13:39.679 --> 00:13:45.759 to? And doesn't that speak to how amazing music was in the eighties that 196 00:13:45.960 --> 00:13:48.840 all these years later, forty years later, people still play it at weddings 197 00:13:48.840 --> 00:13:54.720 and on movies. Will they still play Ava Max on the radio or on 198 00:13:54.799 --> 00:14:03.240 the subspeaker at cub in forty years? Cyrus? Maybe the only other one 199 00:14:03.279 --> 00:14:07.759 I was thinking of was Beyonce. Maybe okay, Beyonce Ed Sheeran. But 200 00:14:07.840 --> 00:14:11.240 are we are we considering anything a little bit further back, because I definitely 201 00:14:11.279 --> 00:14:13.559 feel like there's got to be a couple Britney Spears songs, yep, I 202 00:14:13.559 --> 00:14:18.120 think today. I mean, for example, a lot of the stuff we 203 00:14:18.159 --> 00:14:24.639 play on KTWB now is great disposable pop. It's catchy and it's fun. 204 00:14:24.799 --> 00:14:28.919 Like every time that Espresso song comes on by Sabrina Carpenter, I'm like, 205 00:14:30.000 --> 00:14:33.759 God, that song is a great song, But is it so good that 206 00:14:33.919 --> 00:14:37.960 in twenty years or thirty years somebody will play it at a wedding, probably 207 00:14:37.000 --> 00:14:41.480 not. Will it ever be in a movie? Probably not. Like I'm 208 00:14:41.480 --> 00:14:45.320 gonna scroll through the computer here and tell you some of the songs that are 209 00:14:45.320 --> 00:14:50.240 coming up on KTWB, post Malone better Now. Will it be played in 210 00:14:50.399 --> 00:14:58.559 thirty years now? Beautiful Things by Benson Boone or they're Sabrina car Carpenter Espresso. 211 00:15:00.559 --> 00:15:03.919 Let me scroll down a little bit more, Ariana Grande, we Can't 212 00:15:03.960 --> 00:15:05.840 Be Friends? Will that be played at a wedding? No? Not at 213 00:15:05.840 --> 00:15:11.840 a wedding? No? Saturn by Sizza. And that's as far down as 214 00:15:11.879 --> 00:15:15.679 the computer lets me scroll. But I think that's the thing is, there's 215 00:15:15.720 --> 00:15:20.679 so many great, catchy but easily forgettable pop songs on the radio right now 216 00:15:20.480 --> 00:15:24.080 for whatever reason. Yeah, yeah, it's just not a lot of them. 217 00:15:24.279 --> 00:15:28.039 We've talked about this plenty of times before. A lot of pop music 218 00:15:28.320 --> 00:15:31.919 sounds the same. So it's gotta be something that actually stands out quite a 219 00:15:31.919 --> 00:15:37.600 bit from everyone else for it to be something like a Whitney Houston. Yeah, 220 00:15:37.639 --> 00:15:41.360 And I don't know, I don't know why that is, but I 221 00:15:41.399 --> 00:15:45.720 do believe that that is the truth. Let me see if we've got time 222 00:15:45.759 --> 00:15:52.600 for one more. Okay, let's try this one? Why not? I 223 00:15:52.799 --> 00:15:58.559 was listening to Friday's podcast yesterday and I got a few comments from Sarah. 224 00:15:58.639 --> 00:16:00.559 All the is the best day. If you're gonna go check out the Isle 225 00:16:00.600 --> 00:16:04.039 of Shame, you gotta go on a Wednesday for it to be fully stocked. 226 00:16:04.440 --> 00:16:08.919 All all the fines are put out on Wednesday. This aisle follows the 227 00:16:08.960 --> 00:16:12.000 season, so right now a lot of Mother's Day gardening stuff spring themed. 228 00:16:12.039 --> 00:16:15.600 All the also does their own merch drop every three months or so. You 229 00:16:15.639 --> 00:16:19.320 can get all the branded shoes, sweatshirts, joggers, belt bags, hat, 230 00:16:19.360 --> 00:16:25.200 socks, everything. People including me, love all the I tell people 231 00:16:25.240 --> 00:16:29.200 all these to me, what target is to other moms? Lol. I've 232 00:16:29.240 --> 00:16:32.159 never set find in all the of you I have. I used to live 233 00:16:32.159 --> 00:16:33.720 close to the one that was in Uptown, so I've been there. I've 234 00:16:33.720 --> 00:16:37.000 been there a handful of times, and I have gone down the Isle of 235 00:16:37.000 --> 00:16:38.559 Shame. I don't think I've ever bought anything from it, but I know 236 00:16:38.639 --> 00:16:41.559 that I probably would get hooked if I went there frequently. I think we're 237 00:16:41.600 --> 00:16:45.399 sending down the Aisle of Shame tomorrow, aren't we? Yeah? Yeah, 238 00:16:45.440 --> 00:16:47.840 but what time does all the open? It just looked, it's not till 239 00:16:47.879 --> 00:16:48.559 mine, so it's gonna have to be after night. I have to do 240 00:16:48.600 --> 00:16:52.639 it after night. Thought the next one randomly. I love this one. 241 00:16:53.159 --> 00:17:00.519 Who were you in high school? Vont brought this up last week about how 242 00:17:00.519 --> 00:17:02.519 he didn't have a lot of friends. He would eat lunch a lot of 243 00:17:02.559 --> 00:17:06.680 the time in the teacher's room, like in the teacher's classroom. I was 244 00:17:06.720 --> 00:17:10.599 the kid that went to a teacher's room often during study halls. The homech 245 00:17:10.640 --> 00:17:14.519 teacher would call me down to her room to help her prep stuff. I 246 00:17:14.640 --> 00:17:17.319 really did not enjoy high school, and she told me, hold on, 247 00:17:17.799 --> 00:17:22.279 you're going to make a really great adult. Oh my god, that is 248 00:17:22.319 --> 00:17:25.160 so good. I think about that often. I'm so glad that I didn't 249 00:17:25.279 --> 00:17:29.200 peek in high school. We put so much emphasis on it, but it 250 00:17:29.279 --> 00:17:32.599 is just a small blip in our lives. Life gets so much better as 251 00:17:32.640 --> 00:17:36.400 you grow up. My god, that is so true. When we are 252 00:17:36.440 --> 00:17:40.440 in high school, we think that is the most important thing. We are 253 00:17:40.480 --> 00:17:45.680 the most mature, oldest kids of all the kids in school. We think 254 00:17:45.720 --> 00:17:48.279 that that is the real world. Like if you're a football player, or 255 00:17:48.319 --> 00:17:52.480 the starting center on the basketball team, or the captain of the wrestling team 256 00:17:52.599 --> 00:17:57.079 or the gymnastics team or whatever. The world is great. And if you're 257 00:17:57.160 --> 00:18:02.920 kind of ignored in school and blend in you think that you don't mean much 258 00:18:02.960 --> 00:18:06.240 to the world. Yeah, but then you get out of high school and 259 00:18:06.400 --> 00:18:08.519 all of that is erased. It's like a magnadoodle, Jenny, you know 260 00:18:08.559 --> 00:18:11.799 what a magnadodle is. How can you not know what a magna doodle is? 261 00:18:11.839 --> 00:18:15.440 You know what a dog, A burn a doodle, No, a 262 00:18:15.480 --> 00:18:19.519 magnadoodle. Google it right now, Google a magnadudle. I feel like once 263 00:18:19.559 --> 00:18:22.000 I see it, I'm going to know what it is. You will, 264 00:18:22.039 --> 00:18:25.200 of course, But as I say, high school is a magnadoodle, and 265 00:18:25.240 --> 00:18:29.359 when you graduate, it's a oh okay, yeah you know what it is. 266 00:18:29.519 --> 00:18:30.960 Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like you draw a little art design 267 00:18:32.079 --> 00:18:34.200 on a whatever board you want to call it, and then you can just 268 00:18:34.359 --> 00:18:37.599 erase it within seconds and do a brand new one. Oliver, I want 269 00:18:37.599 --> 00:18:41.240 you to remember who came up with this analogy. High school is a magnadoodle 270 00:18:41.640 --> 00:18:45.359 because yeah, and you can even make that the title of the podcast if 271 00:18:45.359 --> 00:18:49.240 you want to, because it really is. It's like, once it's done 272 00:18:49.519 --> 00:18:55.279 it doesn't matter that you were a nerd in high school, or that maybe 273 00:18:55.319 --> 00:18:59.519 you didn't have a ton of friends in high school, or it doesn't also 274 00:18:59.559 --> 00:19:02.680 matter that you were you know, super well. If you're smart, it 275 00:19:02.720 --> 00:19:06.400 does matter because that will carry on through your life and your college. But 276 00:19:06.480 --> 00:19:10.519 if you were kind of lonely or a loner, it is all erased. 277 00:19:10.519 --> 00:19:12.400 It's a fresh slate. Once you get out of school, you don't have 278 00:19:12.480 --> 00:19:18.680 twelve years of history. You can reinvent yourself. I was in high school, 279 00:19:18.720 --> 00:19:22.039 she says, who were you in high school? I was very invisible 280 00:19:22.079 --> 00:19:25.839 in high school. I was excluded from all of the popular groups. The 281 00:19:25.920 --> 00:19:30.880 popular kids either didn't know me or didn't want to include me. And I 282 00:19:30.920 --> 00:19:33.480 did myself no favors. I didn't try to be popular. I didn't join 283 00:19:33.519 --> 00:19:37.759 clubs or sports. I was in the band. But once I got out 284 00:19:37.799 --> 00:19:41.680 of high school, then I got on the radio, and I learned confidence, 285 00:19:41.720 --> 00:19:45.599 and I could kind of recreate myself by being the person that I really 286 00:19:45.839 --> 00:19:48.839 wanted to be by being on the radio. And eventually I learned that is 287 00:19:48.920 --> 00:19:55.279 really kind of who I am is I'm not you know, I don't know, 288 00:19:55.759 --> 00:20:00.440 I'm not excluded I'm not a nobody, but I had to work to 289 00:20:00.519 --> 00:20:04.200 become something more. Right. What were you in high school? I mean 290 00:20:04.279 --> 00:20:07.119 I was friends with a lot of different people, but I was sort of 291 00:20:07.160 --> 00:20:11.640 a nerd because I got really good grades. But I also played sports and 292 00:20:11.680 --> 00:20:14.680 I was in all the clubs, so I was just involved in a lot. 293 00:20:14.839 --> 00:20:17.519 I feel like I kind of hung out with like the jock and popular 294 00:20:17.599 --> 00:20:19.960 kids, but I wasn't super part of that group. Like there was kind 295 00:20:19.960 --> 00:20:23.559 of like a split group of like I guess popular kids, and I was 296 00:20:23.599 --> 00:20:29.359 in the less popular one. I would say, yeah, but yeah, 297 00:20:29.400 --> 00:20:33.319 I just I remember high school being like great and bad at the same time. 298 00:20:33.799 --> 00:20:37.640 Like I had really good friends, but I went through my own phases 299 00:20:37.640 --> 00:20:41.480 of like I don't feel like I'm cool enough, or you know, this 300 00:20:41.599 --> 00:20:44.960 one jock I have a crush on doesn't even notice me, or something like 301 00:20:45.000 --> 00:20:48.200 that. So I was kind of all over the board of I went through 302 00:20:48.240 --> 00:20:52.319 my insecure moments. I went through my phases of like a lot of guys 303 00:20:52.400 --> 00:20:56.880 had crushes on me, and it was all over the place. I think 304 00:20:56.880 --> 00:21:00.440 that you're very typical, very average. You were definitely a of my social 305 00:21:00.599 --> 00:21:04.880 pecking order because me and my friends. We never thought of ourselves as losers 306 00:21:06.000 --> 00:21:10.359 at all. We had a great time in high school, especially after high 307 00:21:10.400 --> 00:21:12.319 school, when we'd go like, you know, drink tequila and smoke Swisher 308 00:21:12.359 --> 00:21:18.559 Sweens. But at school we were just average, you know. We didn't 309 00:21:18.720 --> 00:21:22.119 love it, we didn't hate it. We showed up. We had fun 310 00:21:22.119 --> 00:21:26.119 in some classes and dreaded other classes. We talked to some kids, but 311 00:21:26.200 --> 00:21:29.920 other kids wouldn't talk to us. The pretty girls would walk by, and 312 00:21:29.960 --> 00:21:33.920 the jocks and the football players would walk by, and they didn't give us 313 00:21:33.920 --> 00:21:37.880 a dirty look. They didn't scoff at us. They just didn't notice, 314 00:21:38.000 --> 00:21:41.359 you know what I mean. So question to discuss. Do you think someone 315 00:21:41.400 --> 00:21:47.039 from Do you have someone from high school who was super popular but turned into 316 00:21:47.079 --> 00:21:49.880 a mess as an adult, never left their hometown and are just a bar 317 00:21:51.039 --> 00:21:52.440 rat? I don't I was trying to think of it. I'm sure they 318 00:21:52.480 --> 00:21:57.640 exist, But somebody who was like popular in high school and then never left 319 00:21:57.680 --> 00:22:02.359 their hometown. Don't you know somebody who like never left their hometown and they're 320 00:22:02.359 --> 00:22:04.799 a bar rat but they weren't particularly popular in high school. Do you know 321 00:22:04.799 --> 00:22:08.599 anybody? Yeah, I would say there are a handful of people who maybe 322 00:22:08.680 --> 00:22:12.160 left my hometown for college but then move back and now they're kind of like 323 00:22:12.240 --> 00:22:17.319 bar rats and stuff. And I don't think they're necessarily unsuccessful, like they 324 00:22:17.359 --> 00:22:21.480 have decent jobs, but they spend most of their weekends going to the bars. 325 00:22:21.559 --> 00:22:25.519 And at this point in life, for me, that's not part of 326 00:22:25.559 --> 00:22:29.279 my lifestyle. And I feel like you grow out of that eventually, and 327 00:22:29.319 --> 00:22:33.200 I'm definitely at the age where you're most likely grown out of that. Yeah, 328 00:22:33.640 --> 00:22:36.559 I think so. And I think that you know, you're thirty three, 329 00:22:37.240 --> 00:22:38.920 so you've grown out of that a long time ago. I think that 330 00:22:38.960 --> 00:22:41.039 there's some people. I mean, it's like, you know, they just 331 00:22:41.200 --> 00:22:45.200 never really changed after high school. They still wanted to have those glory days 332 00:22:45.240 --> 00:22:48.599 or whatever. I'm glad that I was really a nobody in high school, 333 00:22:49.039 --> 00:22:52.920 so I wouldn't feel that I ever peaked in high school, because I certainly 334 00:22:52.920 --> 00:22:55.839 got if I would have peaked in high school, what would my life be 335 00:22:56.000 --> 00:23:00.519 like? Now? God? Okay, that is it. That was one 336 00:23:00.559 --> 00:23:03.000 of my favorite emails in a really long time. So thank you for being 337 00:23:03.039 --> 00:23:04.839 creative and coming up with something. I loved. All the emails today, 338 00:23:04.880 --> 00:23:07.599 don't get me wrong, I love all the emails that we read, and 339 00:23:07.640 --> 00:23:11.799 if we read your email, we will send you a staff writer sticker. 340 00:23:12.319 --> 00:23:17.000 And there's a lot we didn't get to today, so thanks for sending those 341 00:23:17.000 --> 00:23:22.279 in and we're always looking for more Ryan Show at KDWB dot com.
