Do you ever get emails that say, hey, we saw your profile and
we want to collaborate with you and we want to send you a free watch
or some crap like that. Yeap, do you ever get those that?
Yeah, they want they do because they want your influence to basically sell their
product, and all they're giving in exchange is their crop product. Okay.
The reason I bring it up is because we just got one. It says
let men find it. It says Hello, my name is Audrey, influencer
marketing manager for Wish. We recently stumbled upon your profile, and let me
tell you we are genuinely impressed by the community you built in the content you
produce. I think you'd be a great fit for wishes creator program. Wish
is an affordable shopping app that is anything but ordinary. And then they go
on to talk about it and how we can earn money and whatever, and
to me, it just looks like a mass spammy email. It is case
right there, Like I looked at your profile and I thought, like,
tell me something about my profile. Then if you liked it so much,
well, my profile is crap. I mean I don't do that. Well,
I mean, well I did. I will say I made a funny
post on Instagram last night where I scared Susan. If you haven't seen it
yet, pause this podcast, go to my Instagram Dave Ryan katiewb look at
my reel and I'm telling Susan there are stink bugs on the door, and
she comes over to look, and then there's the funny part and the wish
ladies saw that. Yes apparently sent you that message if you if you now,
if you're back, if you pause and come back, or maybe you
never left. So basically I found something online, I think on Instagram where
it is a face that looks like it's peeping into your window because it's got
his hands up to his face, and I stuck it with a suction cup
on the outside of the door, and then I called Susan over. She
didn't really react the way that I wanted her to have, very low key
reaction. I feel like you needed to just set up a camera and get
her genuine reaction without you setting it up, because she knows, she knows
you too well. She knows you're trying to mess with her. So but
you know, how long are you gonna have to wait for that genuine reaction
to come in right, not worth the time. Well, here's what I
have planned today. When she's doing something like, you know, on her
computer, something facing the other way, I'm going to come up behind her.
I'm going to fire a shotgun. Yes, all right, here we
go. Good morning to the best Twin Cities Morning Crew. Oh apparently we
got somebody else's email. A couple of questions for Dave. Have you met
radio personality Delilah? And curious if she's as charming in person as she seems
on the radio. Delilah does like the Love Songs dedication. She's on all
the light rock stations on too, Which is she was on when I was
a kid? I think, yeah, she's been on forever you But yeah,
right, she's been on a very long time. She's very successful,
syndicated all over the country. I've never met her. I'm sure she's wonderful.
I think she has a bunch of kids, and I don't really know
much about her. So hey, I had a picture of her in my
brain, But I had a picture of you in my brain, and you
don't look like Oh. I've never looked her up. Do you know what?
I don't either. I have no idea. Do you know what she
looks like. I think she's average looking, Okay, I mean she's older
now, she's probably fifty five to sixty years old. I think she's attractive,
but not like you know, like Jenny attractive. You know, she's
hot, but not Jenny hot. Well, I mean that's not now.
I feel like she's hideous because that's not like a high standard. Also,
your honest opinion on The Bob and Tom Morning Show. Have you met members
of that show? They are again, very very successful. They're a show
out of Indianapolis. I remember they've been on for many, many years.
They're very successful. I'm surprised they're still on. They're a syndicated rock station
radio show. But they don't play any music. I remember I stole one
of their parody songs when I was about twenty five years old, and I
played it. I've read it it myself, and I played it in Columbus,
Ohio. I don't really steal stuff, but I stole that and they
found out about it, and they wrote me a letter and they said please
don't. And I'm totally respectful. I'm like, oh shit, they caught
me, ye, so I did not With all your ears in radio was
wondering how much crossover occurs. If you ever have any chances to meet others
in your field across the country. It's like, you're best in radio,
bestI in radio. Well, they're like there's several I mean I know almost
everybody, but I don't know them personally, know of them. I mean
everybody from Elvis Duran. If we were to see each other, we would
stop and talk and have coffee. Mojo is a buddy of mine, you
know, Bobby Bones, Bobby Bones. Bobby Bones. Bobby Bones was a
just a regular radio DJ when I started here. Then he did a morning
show in Austin, and I remember his boss came to me and said,
yeah, you know, they're kind of loose cannons, They're kind of all
over the place. They're really really good. How do I get them to
be more focused? And I don't remember what the answer was, but Bobby
bones Is once asked me how to make Bobby more focused? Interesting? But
Bobby is a genius, genius marketer. He took just a regular radio show
and turned it into an empire. Yeah so yeah, big enough to be
on Dancing with the Stars next, What are you going on? I would
not want to be on Dancing with the Stars, no interest. They won't
ask me. It would be the person that's on because of his fame,
not because he has the necessary talent. They've always got someone who has a
talent like a dance background, like an Olympic gymnastic person or something else who's
going to for sure do well. And then they have like Jerry Springer and
David the Jerry Springer of the show. Right, thank you so much for
keeping us entertained, dart Lick, have a great day from b Thank you
loved that email. We got some really good emails today. Let's go to
this one, Dave Jenny Drake. I'm a big fan of the show,
love listening every day, says Savannah. I love that name. A longtime
War of the Roses fan. To keep this short, where is Nick the
Stoner now? Has anybody followed up with him? Thanks for all your doing
and being my everyday entertainment. Nick the Stoner was recorded on War of the
Roses close to fifteen years ago. Yeah before Fallon was here and she got
here in twenty twelve. I don't know. I never heard from Nick the
Stoner. I never heard from his girlfriend Wet Wet. I have no idea
what happened to Nick the Stoner, but people ask that once in a while,
is he still out there? I don't. Probably likely he's still out
there as a person. He probably thinks he's so famous too, the amount
of times that we've played that Wore the Roses. It'd be funny if one
day, so there's like kids who got famous on Vine, and then all
of a sudden they start getting famous on TikTok and it's like, this is
how you know me from before? Why this is funny from Vine? And
so we see miss Stoner like playing his eyes Wore the Roses on TikTok all
of a sudden and he's just like, oh man, how did this?
How did this start playing? Oops? Oh well, since it's playing,
let me tell you more about it. If you have any idea where Nick
the Stoner is, or who he is, or what he's doing now or
his ex girlfriend wet wet, let us know. Maybe they're married and have
kids and maybe a little happily ever after. For that, Lynn writes in
and says Dave Jenny Drake, first time contributor, Dave, you said you
used to journal and thought your children might enjoy reading them someday. It made
me want to share this with you. I grew up on the North Store
of Minnesota, moved out of state to Colorado after college. My mom would
write me several letters a week and continued to do so even when I eventually
moved back to Minnesota. She loved writing and was so funny and talented.
I would often save a letter that made me laugh or happy cry. We
were very close, and when she unexpectedly passed away a few years ago,
I was devastated. I was thankful I saved some of her letters over the
years to have his keepsakes. Several months after her passing, my brother gave
me a box they found among her personal items. Oh boy, this is
gonna get good. Inside every single letter, Birthday card, Mother's Day card,
and Chris miss card. Inside this box every one of those that I
had ever sent to her she saved. She even saved letters I had written
to her when I was a kid at summer camp and told her how much
I missed my cat. Wow. Needless to say, I broke down crying,
realizing, oh my gosh, I'm going to cry too, realizing how
much my letters must have meant to her. I hope you save your journals
for your kids, Dave, something so simple could mean the world to them
someday. PS. Hope this wasn't too long, Daddy Bear, dart Lick
dart lick, and thanks for all you do. Lynn, a loyal listener
all these years. Wow, I don't know. If you don't have kids,
it's hard to explain. I'm gonna get choked up how much you love
your kids and how much they mean to you. Neither of you two have
kids. I encourage both to have kids because number one, it's good radio
content. Sure yeah, I mean everything from the pregnancy to the you know
the listen. If I get pregnant, I am leaning into them. I'm
gonna be like, guys, I am sick today. I'm going to be
in the bathroom all morning. Really, I'm just scrolling on Instagram on the
toilet like I'm gonna lean in and you're gonna be like, God, wonder
is she gonna have this baby? No kidding anyway, No, it is.
If you're a parent, you know exactly what I'm talking about. We
have things from Carson his artwork when he was a kid. We actually had
to throw all of it away, but we went to one of those archiver's
places or whatever where they take pictures and make a book. Yeah, but
we kept some of it. But they're little letters and postcards and birthday cards.
They're so precious and like your regular family. My uncle died last December,
and I still have like Christmas cards and birthday cards from him, and
I'm so glad that I kept them, because I keep every card that anyone
ever sends me. I do too. Yeah, well, for the most
part, I have all my Morning Show birthday cards. I have all my
cards for my boyfriend, my mom. My mom sent me a congratulations when
I got like my Gracie Award, and it was a very simple card,
but I kept it because I thought it was very kind of her to do
that. But yeah, I keep all that. Thah, you I got
letters from I think my first boyfriend in like seventh grade would write me letters.
And when we like broke up after like a month of not really dating,
I was like, I'm gonna throw these letters out. My life is
over. And my mom was like, don't throw them out, You're gonna
need Oh that is very sweet. Yeah. I got to read this email
because it is somebody who said, let me find it really quick. Here,
Sarah Becker says, I was listening to a podcast today. They said
Dartmouth, as in the college Dartmouth. Yeah, all I heard was dart
lick, and I thought of you, and I had to send a message.
That is all thanks for always brightening my day, That is, Sarah.
You understand dart lick, don't you? Bailey? No, you keep
saying it, and I think it must be a thing, And now I
feel like a douche that I don't know it. No, you don't don't
feel that way. Dave is filthy that and you shouldn't know what it means.
I mean, I know what the daddy thing means, but I don't
know what dart lick. You are so innocent? Is darkling? Is that
like a like a thing? It's something we made up? You made it
up. Then of course I'm not gonna know it. Yeah, well why
why would you? But you're a good sport to play along? And like
chuckle when we say dart lit, do you want to let me ask you
this one? It's filthy? Do you want to know what it is?
Sure? If you don't want to know what it is? When they said
Daddy, dart Lick, and dart Lick. So I assume Jenny and Drake
are dart licks. No, no, no, no, it's worse than
you think. Okay, okay, then you can tell me. I'm just
not going to look at you when you tell me, I'm gonna hide.
Tell me you're okay. I don't want to call for HR. You are
now an actual employee, so but still you're a human and I respect you
and I care about you. Tell me what it is. I don't like
you that much, but I care, you know, like they would care
about anyway. So okay, here we go. You ready. Yes,
it came up on the show three or four years ago eating ass, and
Steve said, Steve looked at me and he goes, eating ass. How
do you eat ass? Anyway? And I said, I don't know.
Dart lick, dart lick. Yeah. Yeah, And so that's how it
started. And so people started laughing, and then they would sign their emails
dart Lick, dart Lick. We even sold the shirt at the State Fair
this year that said dart lick. It sold out. It didn't it sold
out? Okay, I didn't see that at the fair, but that if
it's sold out, I guess, yeah, So it is the ultimate inside
joke. I guess so. Yeah. And also just to clarify, you
said you talked about it on the show. This was on the Minnesota Box.
Yeah, it was very much a filthy NSFW podcast episode that just has
carried on for probably what we were going on like four years since you brought
Dart leg up, maybe five group of people. Yeah. But you know
what's funny is that people have embraced it, because even like Lynn who wrote
in a little while ago. I've met Lynn and she is a wonderful,
not a nasty, vulgar person, but even she has embraced Sorry, well
now I've got it. Any time I sign an email, yeah, I
can startlett all right, next one, he would go, oh, we
asked about this yesterday and hypnotism and that type of thing. Heard you talking
about hypnotists on the Minnesota Goodbye. I thought I would share my experience,
my only experience with one my freshman year in college. I typed out which
college I went to. Then I deleted it because Davis taught me how to
tell a good story well, in the effect that it doesn't matter where you
went to college, but you know, some details are fine. Yeah.
Anyways, they had a welcome back weekend filled with activities a hypnotist included.
They picked twelve students to be hypnotized. Part of the whole bit was that
they were all horseback riders and they had to name a horse and ride him
or her in the race. The second girl in line named her horse my
face. I thought that this was odd, but okay, they bring all
the horse back riders to the start line and they're off. It only made
it sent. It only made sense when this girl started yelling the top of
her lungs, my face, my face, Come on, my face,
come on, my face. Okay, bold move not this. Everyone had
those hypnotists at their school, because I remember they had them at mine as
well. And one guy, like a jock kind of dude. He ended
up being hypnotized and saying the entire Miley Cyrus the climb, and he looked
like a dude who wouldn't know the words, and he knew all the words.
He was rolling on the floor. Everyone was like laughing, and I
think he could have pulled it off and faked it. I don't know,
because I've never been hypnotized and that was the only time I've ever seen it,
but like they always come to a college town. Yeah, so yeah,
I've seen it at my high school too. We had one at ur
like the senior night party, you know. Yeah, yeah, we had
one. We've done a hypnotist many times and people like it. Have you
been hypnotized? No. I talked about it in the show yesterday. I
said, I to hypnotism for my belly belly pain because I've tried everything for
my belly pain, and yesterday it was really bothering me. Today it's a
little bit better. Yeah, And I said I went to a hypnotist,
and I said I basically faked it and pretended that I was hypnotized in her
chair in her office. Yeah, And because I would have felt awkward to
not be hypnotized and say this isn't working. Yeah, I feel like i'd
do the same Like when people believe it, Yeah, I'd be like,
well, I'm not going to believe it, so it's not going to work
for me because I'm not a believer, I guess. So Yeah, I
feel like I would probably end up doing the same thing, just so why
I wouldn't make her feel bad. Yeah, it didn't work all right.
