Well, Hello, greetings, Aloha, thanks for being here for the Minnesota
goodbye. Do you know aloha means hello and goodbye? I didn't know.
Yes, damn it. I thought i'd throw something you didn't know? Oh
sorry, do you want me to pretend? No, teach me something?
You know? Bees and dogs can smell fear? No? I didn't bees
and dog. I learned that in Jerry Maguire when that little kids like Gary
did? Didn't you know? Bees and dogs catched me out fear? Gary
did? Did you know? Do human head? You ate eight pounds?
You don't remember that kid? I didn't watch that movie. I know I
know what's true the money. I do know that line. I know that
line. Give me a movie line, Jenny, off the top of your
head, give me a movie line that's so FETs Okay, good, Breton
fetch is not going to happen. That's probably not how it goes. Stop
trying to make fat, Stop trying to make We should go back and forth.
Write this down. This could be just good at movie quotes. Okay,
well, then you would be easy to beat, So write it down.
So we're gonna do a game where I go back and forth or you
go back and forth with a listener, and you just do movie quotes.
Okay that I like your sleeves, they're real big. I love you,
Jenny. Is there some sort of vests I can wear? Let me guess
you're from Piedmont, North Dakota, Kyote ugly say hello to my little friend.
A whole new war and it doesn't count. All right, Well,
this could go on and on and I'm probably gonna run out anyway. All
right, got a couple of email, We got a bunch of emails.
Thank you for the emails. That is the heart and soul of the Dave
Ryan Shows Minnesota. Goodbye, Dave. Jenny Vaant Kirsten writes in random topic,
but one that's always on my mind is someone who works in healthcare.
I often hear Dave advocate for the importance of getting colon oscopies for colon cancer
screening. I want to write it with a quick PSA for listeners regarding lung
cancer screening and often lesser known and underutilized resource. So we'll spend a minute
on this one. Lung cancer screening available for people who have smoked cigarettes involved
getting an annual, low cost chess set. Screening allows you to catch lung
cancers early when they're very treatable and curable. So if you've smoked and you
smoked a lot, or you currently smoke or quit in the last fifteen years,
you're between the ages of fifty and eighty, screening is covered by your
insurance. Usually if you think you qualify, reach out your primary care doctor
and help you get the ball rolling. Thanks for all you guys do to
bring light and joy to the Minnesota community and beyond. That is very sweet.
I hope you have a wonderful week. Sincerely, Kirsten. You might
have just saved a life. Kirsten. Yeah, I know somebody who is
my age and they smoke. They smoke probably at least a half a pack
or more of cigarettes today. I don't preach at them, but I'm like,
you're going to kill yourself. You're not a kid anymore. When I
was a kid. When I was a kid, well, I smoked my
first cigarette at four four years old. That was in kindergarten. Four years
old, fucking smoking a cigarette. I remember Angie Taylor when I was in
my thirties. Angie was about twenty five and her doctor told her you can
smoke till you're thirty. After thirty, your body can't handle it anymore.
And so she smoked her and I would go, God, they were a
joy. It was a joyous time. After the show, Angie and I
would go down to the smoking room in the building in Butler Square Downtown.
Wild that that was a thing. Did you ever live through a smoking room,
not a smoking room, but definitely smoking in non smoking sections in a
restaurant? Yeah? I did, like very early part of my life,
there were those. I'm gonna guess if you asked Vauant, has he ever
been asked the question smoking or non he would say no. But if you're
old enough to remember, and I'd say over the age of thirty, you
might remember. You'd go into a restaurant and be like, yeah, like
there's four of us, okay, great smoking or non and you would either
sit in a smoking section or not, and you would literally sit indoors and
smoke and flick your cigarettes into an ash tray. And that is wild to
think about. Now. Don't they do it at some casinos? Still casinos
you can smoke, That's what I thought. I don't think the local casino
is out there. As a matter of fact, I'm certain you can't.
But you know, when you're in Sin City, they want you to stay
and relax and do whatever you want for as long as you want. I
think sometimes I smoke a cigar once in a while, so I've noticed that
I think sometimes they don't allow cigar smoking. Cigarette smoking. Hell yeah,
smoke him up, baby, yea, light them up. Okay, next
one. Thank you, Kirsten. Me Me, Me, says Sarah.
When I heard you guys mention funny dog names, I knew I had to
write in. I adopted my little guy in twenty nineteen as a sophomore in
college and named him Norman. He fit his name back then, but it's
getting you even better as his face furs are turning gray with age. He's
only five, but it makes me so sad to see little gray hairs pop
up around his eyes and chin. At the same time, I'm so grateful
that he has the privilege to age and and I get to be around to
experience it with him. I often remind myself to get off your rectangle and
experience life, whether it be with your dog, significant other, etc.
I don't want to miss the things that are right in front of me.
For some silly TikTok. I like that she sends a picture of Norman and
he is a beautiful, very handsome boy. With that being said, I'm
gonna go get off my rectangle and go home to my family. Dog picture
attached because duh, thanks for being you from Sarah. What does she mean
when she says get off my rectangle? Have you heard them get off your
phone? I've never heard that. I think I've maybe heard it once or
twice before. But correct me if I'm wrong. But what I'm almost positive
it means get off your phone, or maybe it means your computer. No,
I believe you. I think it is get off your phone, because
she references watching TikTok. Yeah, I've never heard that, get off your
rectangle. Yeah, there's so much to say about that. We've talked about
that a little bit about how I'm so bad, and last night you and
I were trying to put something together and you were not annoying personally, the
whole situation was annoying, and I know you were annoyed too. But we're
trying to put something together that involves some legwork outside of the show. So
I'm on my treadmill watching the roast, that Tom Brady roast last night,
and it's like, fucking Jenny sending me a text message. So I'm like,
okay, send you back a text message. Fucking Jenny again with it.
I mean, I'm sure you were kind of annoyed too, because you
were probably trying to do your own thing. I think it was just honestly,
during that time, I was actually just out for a walk, so
it wasn't that big of a deal. But I was listening to a podcast,
so I kind of like get really into the podcast and forget that I
was like needing to respond to things. So all of a sudden, I
look and I was like, oh shit, ten minutes ago, I missed
this from Dave. But whatever, it took some time. What it is?
Yeah, yeah, thank god Dave, Jenny Vant. I'm working in
the office today, which means it's a great time to get caught up on
the podcast. As Amber, I just left worked lunch, was listening to
the May first episode. Somebody wrote an email about plant propagating and people stealing
clippings from plants in the store. My ears perked up as I was listening
as I started just started keeping houseplants. Dave you almost made me crash my
car. I was laughing so hard when you used your old bag, old
fart voice. I haven't finished that episode, and I've already listened to the
path too. I haven't finished that episode, and I've already listened to that
part three times. I'm sure the people driving next to me thought I was
insane. Oh boy, what is my old bag old fart? Is it
right? Oh my god, Jenny, I don't know. Is that what
it is? I think so, I don't know, And now I feel
bad that I'm probably like, Dave, do that joke, do that voice,
and I don't remember what I was. Yeah. Love you guys,
and love the addition to vont thanks for all you do your non dart licking
staff writer. Thank you Amber for pointing that out that you do not eat
ass. So good to. They actually made an eating ass joke last night,
oh my god, on the break on the Tom Brady Roast. And
it wasn't last night, it was over the weekend. But we talked about
this on the air, but we had to tone it down. But here
on the podcast we can talk about it was so vulgar. Do you remember
it? Well? There was one where there was a woman, what's her
name again, Nicki Glazer, Nicki Glazer. I'd never heard of her.
She looks like a supermodel, she's built like a supermodel, but she's funnier.
She was the funniest person on the roast, and she was so dirty.
She's like, I think. Her funniest joke was something like, Kevin
Hart weighs one hundred and fifty pounds, but after the rock's done, fucking
Emmy weighs one hundred and fifty five pounds, which means five pounds of semen
in his rectum. And I thought that was so funny. And she says,
you might just think of me as a cum guzzling whore. And I
am for Tom Brady and she talked about how she said, I'm I'm engaged,
I met the love of my life. I've been seeing him for ten
years, but I would shoot him in the fucking face for one chance to
suck Tom Brady's dick. And I'm like, yeah, what is his air
on? Because obviously this can't be on cable TV on Netflix, Okay,
Because I was gonna say they used to do it on TV, like on
the comedy comedy Comedy Central Comedy Central could get that dirty, but a lot
of the time they bleep it out right. I guess there's no Regan.
I don't even know that they I mean even bleeped her saying come guzzling.
I feel like that even bleeped. Would it be allowed? No, they
didn't bleep anything. Oh and Kevin Hart said fuck so many times, And
I don't mind that. I'm not a prude about that. I like the
word the I like saying it myself. But he used it so many times
it was kind of like, is he nervous? And he forgot how many
times he said it, And then there was just other ones. I mean
she actually talked about I mean, it was just so vulgar. But I
think that's part of humor. In a way, humor can be shocking.
I think the thing about that I know about humor, and I find humor
really fascinating, is humor always has a surprise, because if you don't get
surprised by the punchline, you don't react. So in other words, if
you see the punchline coming a mile away, it's not funny. So that's
why I used to give Fallen a hard time because I would say something and
she would say the easiest joke possible, and I'd give her a hard time.
I'd like, fallon, don't pick the low hanging fruit. So if
Jenny said, yeah, I'm gonna come to your party in Falan, it's
like, oh, are you gonna come? You're gonna come, And I'm
like, fallin, don't. That's the easiest. It's not funny. I
mean it is a little bit. It's kind of funny. But and then
she would give me shit because I would do it too. But I think
that sometimes comedy and humor when it's shocking like that, you didn't see the
idea of the punchline being the rock shooting five gap five pounds to come in
Kevin Hart. You didn't see that. It's shocking. So I think that's
why. I don't know. I just find humor really fascinating on why it
works and why some jokes, when they're too easy, they don't work.
You know what I mean, if you make a really easy joke. Okay,
I think we are honestly a little bit out of emails. Let me
do one more from I won't say her name, but it goes back to
the thing we talked about about anxiety, which has kind of been a theme
this month. I was in a similar situation as Jenny with anxiety. All
the symptoms heart racing, stomach issues, food intolerance issues, dizziness. Anxiety
itself stem from a nervous system de regulation. Like you said, Jenny,
you were stuck in fight or flight, and that is nervous system regulation.
There's a program, Jenny called Primal Thrust that helps you reprogram your nervous system
and eliminate most of the symptoms. I started it back in January. It's
changed my life. I know it's a bold statement, but the past two
years have been horrible for me. I felt and thought like I was going
to die every day, no exaggeration, and looking back at it, my
nervous system has been disregulated my whole life. Now. To be in a
state of regulation, living my best life comfortably without the physical and mental symptoms
and no medications has been amazing. Google Primal Trust, doctor Kathleen King.
They are the one that put it together. They get a Facebook page you
could check and see how it resonates with you. And if you have questions
or want more, I'm willing to talk about it. You got this,
Jenny, and everybody else that suffers from anxiety, it is possible to get
through to the other side of it. That's from Kayleen. I will say,
you know what, I'm glad it worked for you. I will say
that that might not work for everyone, but I'm really glad it worked for
you, and you might have really helped somebody. I'm going to bring up
something here that's a little bit I don't know. It's gonna rub some people
the wrong way. Rereeky or reiki. Yes, I don't believe in it.
I think it's garbage. What do you think. I've never done it
myself, But I think because my brain needs a logical answer to everything,
like I need something backed up from some I don't know. It's hard for
me to get into stuff like that. Stuff like I don't know your acupuncture,
meditation. I struggle with a lot of stuff like that. Yeah,
you know what, I think there is something too meditation because you just calm
and quiet your mind. Acupuncture I think is. I mean, I don't
want to insult anybody. I'm just gonna say Rather than insult it, I'll
simply say I don't believe in it. But I hear stuff like reiki or
riki, and I'm like, I am so sorry that you got suckered into
believing this is a real thing. There is no science behind any of that
reiki reap. Whatever I think it is, I think it's a scam.
I think it is a disservice to people who really have health issues. I
think it is something where you feel better with a placebo effect. Like if
you really believed that these tic TACs that I have in my pocket have a
special power, and these are tic TACs that are blessed by you know this
wonderful whatever, and if you take these, you will feel more energetic if
you really believe that, the placebo effect is amazing. Plus time will make
you feel better too. So in other words, if I say, you
know what, oh you've got back pain, these special tic TACs, you
take these, you take two of them every day, you'll feel better in
a week. No shit, You're probably gonna feel better in a week.
But then you will come to me and say, oh my god, those
fucking tic TACs they worked. Now, I don't know much about Reichy reiki,
and I say it mockingly because I think it's so stupid. Change my
mind. If I'm wrong, change my mind. There is no science behind
any of that. And I'm like you, I am a science. Give
me proof. Because the thing that I'm reading this book by Neil de Grasse
Tyson. Okay, and it's called hold On. I pulled it up a
minute ago. You get a minute. Yeah. I always love seeing things
from him when he's on a podcast or like little clips on Instagram, because
he's so fucking intelligent. He is so and he talks in terms that you
and I can get called starry messenger, And basically it's by Neil de grass
Tyson, and he says science is not an opinion, and an opinion is
not science. So in other words, you might say, it is my
opinion that Reichy works, but that's not science. Science is also not an
opinion, and you might say, well it worked for me. Well that
is what they call anecdotal, And I love that word, which means it's
one little spot of evidence, but you need for something to be proven.
There's a scientific method that I'm learning this book. It's like, not only
must you be able to replicate it consistently, but other people must also be
able to replicate it consistently. So in other words, if I tell you
that I'm a psychic, I must get it right pretty much all the time,
or I'm not a psychic, and then other people must be able to
put me to the test and I must get it right all the time,
or I'm not a psychic. And I think some things you got to take
a leap of faith. Like, you know, if you're religious, and
I don't mean this disrespectfully, where is your proof that there is a God
or an afterlife? Well, you don't have it, but you have faith,
yes, So there's a difference between faith and science. With religion,
you have to have faith. Am I talking way too deep? I'm getting
up awful deep about it. I wasn't expecting to get so deep about it.
But I know I don't think you're talking too deep. I like completely
agree with you on a lot of it, because yeah, I just I
feel like certain people's brains work in different ways, and for me, I
always believe in a placebo effect, So I pretty much am always like,
I don't know, someone might have suggested this, but it wasn't suggested by
like an actual doctor who prescribed me something, so I don't I'm probably not
going to believe that it's going to work. Yeah, And I think that
you know right, And I think that the placebo effect and it's been proven
over and over and over, and I think there is absolute value to the
placebo effect. In other words, if I tell you that these magic beings
are going to make your back pain go away, and it works for you,
guess what. It was effective. So it's not that the placebo effect
as a joke. It actually can be effective. So if Reichi works for
you, then it works for you. In the same way that my sister
relies on her Christian faith to get her through life. I don't make fun
of that because it works for her. And that's it. What do you
think? Now? Do you have anything to say about the Minnesota Goodbye Today?
I hope you do. Send your emails into Ryan's show at KDWB dot com.
