We said we want to start on the Minnesota Goodbye with something we brought up
before. So Jenny has a question. I want to find out what you
think. And we have brought this up before on the show, for sure,
but I don't know about the Minnesota Goodbye, Jenny. I'm wondering if
it's okay to put dog poop in other people's trash when you're out walking a
dog. Okay, I don't have a problem with somebody what did with mine.
But a friend of mine, who is totally normal, she said absolutely
not. I would be pissed if somebody put their dog poop in my garbage.
I'm like, why, Number one, you probably wouldn't know. Number
two, what is it going to get your trash dirty? Yeah, so
I wouldn't have a problem, but out of respect for neighbors who wouldn't want
that to happen, I don't what do you think, Jenny. I don't
do it normally. I've just been like walking a dog this past week,
and the dog poops a lot, and so I'm like holding on to poop
for a pretty long time, and so I just yesterday I finally did drop
one of the bags off into a garbage that was out on the street,
and then I felt guilty about it. Immediately after it's out on the street,
then it's like it's gonna come by and someone's going to pick it up
anyway at the garbageman. But I wouldn't like walk up a driveway to go
right away, and I would never do that. But also in Saint Louis
Park, it's like alleyways, So if you're walking through an alley, everyone's
garbage is out. Yeah, So then it's kind of like, well,
that's just how it always is, always there, it's always yeah, in
the same thing. I feel like that's unfair. But when I walk around
in my neighborhood, I always know, like we live close to a high
school, so there's garbage cans out, I just throw it in there.
They're public ones. Okay, Yeah, I don't have a problem with it
if somebody did in my neighborhood. You know, we talked about picking up
dog poop way too much, so I'm not going to keep my mouth shut
because people get tired of me hearing about it talking about it. But what
about you? Is it okay to throw your dog poop in somebody's trash can
or better question, Is it okay if a stranger walks by with a bag
of dog poop and throws it in your trash can, that's out of the
curb. Let us know. Yeah. Also, you don't have to carry
it. You can clip a doo your dog poop wow with a clip a
do dog poop holding device invented by me Dave Ryan. It's available on ets
dot com. Just search clip Ado or Dave Bryan. It really is.
I use mine all the time, and thanks Bailey, because I used to.
When Josie would poop, I would tie it to her collar. Yeah,
because I'm like, you made it, you're going to carry it.
And so she'd be walking along with a bag of dog poop swinging between her
front legs and she didn't care, she's a dog. But I thought,
oh, that looks kind of cruel. So then I somehow, I don't
remember you how I even came up with it, but it is a clip,
an alligator clip with a key ring in the middle and then another alligator
clip and they're like a strong alligator clip. So you clip one to the
leash of where your hand is and one to the bag of dog poop.
And there's two versions there's the clip ado and the clipp a doo too.
The clip a Doo two is much easier to use. So yeah, I
didn't know that there was a two. Wouldn't I give you a clipp adoo?
You did give me one, I'll be honest. I just it stays
at my house and I'm going to someone else's house to walk this dog this
week. So that's why I haven't used it. But now I definitely use
it. They are transferable from one leash to another, I know. Oh
okay, And then somebody wrote in and this was interesting. It came with
a text this morning, so I thought we would address this when it says,
probably a dumb question, could you sometime tell what everybody does behind the
scenes? Who does what? Thanks keep rocking? Okay, well, let's
go around the room and we'll describe and we'll see if anybody gets it wrong.
So in other words, I say what I think I do, and
then Jenny says, you don't do that. Then okay, So here's what
I think I do behind the scenes, because you know what happens on the
radio. Behind the scenes, I come up with a lot of the ideas
for like when we did home improvement prices, right. That was just something
based on something that happened in my life. When we did this scene in
the shower thing. That was when I heard Billie Eilish singing in her bathtub.
I said, oh, let's do the contest. So I come up
with a lot of ideas, and that's just kind of how my mind works
doing it for a long time, and and I think there's you know,
I think that the more you expose yourself to, the more ideas you're going
to get. So if I hadn't exposed myself to that Billie Eilish story,
I would have never had that. If I hadn't gotten an eight hundred dollar
garage door opener, I wouldn't have thought of that idea. So I think
I take things out of my life and turn them into ideas. So I
come up with a lot of ideas. But we all come up with ideas,
like Bailey will be like, oh, we should ask people what about
this? Or Jenny will say like we should ask what song packs the dance
floor? And Von comes up with ideas too, But I would say a
Bailey shout out, that was her idea. The wedding song was, Yeah,
that was not mine. Okay, but thanks for doing that, because
yeah, that's nice. But we all come up with ideas. But I
think that's probably my main job. And then we all take turns writing think
fast. We all take turns. Oh, I don't know. It writes
up a lot of the games like match game and stuff like that or like
kind of our like quirkier KTEWB style games. Dave is usually the one who's
writing up those ones. The Vont has done a lot of them recently,
like the cookout. Yeah, and I can't now, I can't remember the
other one that he did, but it was last week. We gave out
tickets for something and he made up a match game for it. Okay,
kind of thing. And you know, anything that's usually writing I usually do,
like if it's the match game or password or something like that. Connections.
I love to write. That's kind of my one of my strong things.
Jenny, what do you do? I put together how the show runs
every single day. I make sure that we have every audio element that we
might need for a certain segment, whether it's finding a music bed or we
need a little clip of you know, Billie Eilish. Whatever. Vont does
the actual loading of those into the system. I'm the one who's like looking
for stuff like that. I kind of delegate certain things. If I need
helpless stuff, I upload the Minnesota Goodbye I post on the Day Ryan Show
blog. You edit War of the Roses because we take a lot of the
slop and garbage and ums and ohs out of there. Yep, yep,
any kind of like pre recorded segment, which we don't do pretty much anything
pre recorded, but if there is something that we need to have edited,
I usually do something like that. And then I don't know, I'll be
honest, I think I'm forgetting a lot of things, but I anything.
In terms of coordination with the highway cleanup, I take care of that.
Getting guests on the show, I coordinate that. I keep a Google calendar
that like helps keep everything in track, or like random ideas I throw on
there, Like you know, Dave will send over a bunch of ideas and
then I kind of just plug them in where they need to be and if
we don't have time for it that week, then I have them set in
a schedule somewhere. You're reorganized. I will tell you this one that what
you do so much is organization, and that is the hallmark of a great
producer is being organized. And it's not that I'm disorganized, It's just that,
you know, it's kind of like a pilot needs a cope pilot,
and so I'm busy flying the plane and Jenny is, you know, reading
the map yeah and saying turn left, yeah. Yeah, like any information
Dave might need for something like if we're supposed to be plugging an event,
I just like take care of making sure we have that information. But yeah,
I could probably go on and on on a few more things, but
those are like the main things that I do. And Bailey, what do
you do on the show? Behind the scenes? If we're flying this plane,
I'm the monkey that sits behind you. Okay, I have I mean,
I'm still new ish, so I haven't learned a lot of stuff yet.
But I do upload the show podcast, so during the show, as
like we talk so hour by hour, I edit it together, which is
pretty pretty simple easy to do. So I upload that show podcast. What
else do I write? The Daily Bailey? I do? I mean,
I come up with the Daily Bailey. There's that oh man. Oh,
I do the Grid in the morning, which is just a different version of
the show. Plan that Jenny does well, and you come up with ideas
and input like we should do this. Yeah. Yeah, I come up
with games to play sometimes social media things because I'm chronically online, so I
have ideas for stuff. But yeah, I'm still learning and growing trying to
figure out how to come up with like content just based on my real life,
like Dave does and the stuff that Jenny does, and even the stuff
that vaont does. It seems so overwhelming to me, but I'm still new,
so I'll figure out some of it. There's a lot to do,
you know, when you think about it, there's a lot. I mean,
I know it sounds like and it should sound like we just come in
and sit down and everything just kind of happens organically. And I'm glad it
sounds that way because that's the way I want it to sound. Yeah,
I don't want it to sound like, you know, like I mean,
I guess just organically. It should be easy to listen to vont Is in
the other room. And vont Is, first of all, he does everything
from answer to the phones, writes down winners, screens callers like if we
say, what is your favorite breakfast cereal? Well is the one who will
you know? Tell Sandy from Oakdale, hold on, We'll be right back.
He also uploads audio like you said, and he does a lot of
the social media stuff like every day, usually every night around five or seven.
So Vont will put it together a graphic of what's coming up on the
show tomorrow, and that takes, you know, a couple of minutes of
work, and then we all have to post that online to say what we're
doing on the show tomorrow. And all the videos that he comes up with,
he edits those together. So any like reels that you see on our
Instagram, like, Vont edits that together, which is a lot of work,
actually it is. Yeah, and he does a good job. He
actually went to film school, I think, Oh, so did you know
that. No, I didn't know that. The radio school. I think
he went to like a four year college and studied killing stuff. But yeah,
But there's like a few other like small things that Vont does behind the
scenes, like you might hear throughout the day when you're listening to katiewb little
like things like the Dave Ryan Show, and then it'll be one of us
quoting something funny in the show. And he like produces stuff like that.
So there's a lot of like little tedious things that Vaughan helps with. There's
a lot, there's a lot that goes into it, but you know,
it's fun. We enjoy it. I think the thing we enjoy least and
nobody asked is probably recording War of the Roses. And we had a big
discussion earlier on the show and I'll share it with you now in the Minnesota
Goodbye that I think people are getting War of the Roses burnout and there are
people who, when we said this, said no, I love my War
of the Roses. I love it, and other people are like, yeah,
you know what I can do without it? And so I think we're
thinking about dropping War of the Roses, yes, or resting War of the
Roses or changing it up because it's you know, it's great and it's fun
and it's you know, like scandalous. But at the same time, you
know, it's like Gray's Anatomy. You know how many seasons of Grey's Anatomy
can you watch? Well, apparently it's still a lot because it's still on.
Is it's still on? But annoying since episode one? Really, I
don't I can't stand that Lady's voice, which people have said about me too,
So you know what to each of their own who said that they don't
like Meredith. You don't like the way she is weird who talks like that?
I think you have a very pleasant melodic voice. I did. I
wasn't fishing for compliments. I'm gonna give you one anyway. Appreciate that.
Yeah, it's very pleasant in melodic yours is Okay, it's a little bit
doue, you know, a little bit. Okay, fine, all right.
Next one from Courtney. She says, Hey, Dart Liquors, just
a few thoughts for the Minnesota goodbye. I wrote in a few weeks ago,
and Dave said, Courtney, you're really funny. You should write in
more often. Holy shit. I almost passed out. What a compliment to
get from someone I think is hilarious. Well, we are hilarious together,
Courtney, Jenny, I got a bone to pick with you. I've been
buying the Mango Hobannero country Art, country Archer beef jerky from Costco a long
time. You had to open your big mouth on what's on your radar that
it's freaking delicious, and now it doesn't exist at Costco. No, I
still love you, though, please tell Vaughan again to knock off the Von
Tavias bit. Okay, I'll mention that did you spoil the men, Courtney?
I will say that when I discovered it, it had a little asterisk
on the sign, which is known at Costco that if it has an asterisk,
that means it's going to be discontinued soon. And so I was very
bummed about it, and that's why I revealed it to the masses because I
didn't feel bad because I knew Cosco was probably going to be getting rid of
it soon. So just a little fun fact, if you see something you
like and there's an asterisk on it, don't get attached to it because you're
never gonna fucking find it again. Wow. I feel like things come back
around, though they do sometimes. But I'm exactly on your side, Corny.
I got them that one time, talked about them, and then the
next time I went in there gone so, but you could have the dried
mangoes instead, delicious, I know, and you have them all the time,
and I meant to get them. I was just there two nights ago,
and I completely forget to go back because I went through my entire collection
of those, so I gotta go back. You eat a very unusual snack
and it looks like from from where I'm sitting, it looks like a smashed
up pita. Yeah, and that's not what it is, or like a
little orange tongue. It does, And that's a mango pizza. They're just
dried mangoes and you can get them at Costco and they're so good. I
got the dried apricots as well, but the mangoes are eight thousand times better.
It tastes like candy, and the apricots are gonna mess with your top.
Honestly, the mangoes kind of make you get the squirts too, but
it's delicious. Worth it though, Yeah, it's worth it. Next one,
Bailey, This is all from Courtney Bailey. I gotta tell you you're
fantastic. You're not afraid to be yourself and you don't morph into other people
in the conversation. You're so genuine and really add another view to the show.
Hardcore giving Lena vibes, and I love it. I think that's kind
of true because you're both quick, quirky and quirky and sweet sure, and
you even sound a little bit like Lena. Oh so yeah, I love
Lena. Also, I'm the one sent in a text asking to play the
Chapel Rohne song. Please keep playing it in Bailey. Please toss out some
more music recommendations that are not show tunes. No shit, If you bring
up one more show tune, I'm coming over there. Can I get to
Yeah, but they're not show tunes. Okay, okay. If you like
Chapel Roone, great awesome. I love her so much. I also really
like Leanna Firestone. She's a singer songwriter. She's coming in November. I
love her a lot. She has great lyrics. And then I also like
this band called Lawrence. They opened for the Jonas Brothers and it's very like
soulful, funky, super awesome. And that's who we had at the Yes.
I got right out. Yeah, I met the Clyde Lawrence. I
almost ship my pants. I was so excited, and he was so flattered
that there was a giant, big, genuine fan. Yeah. I wore
Laurence shirt, showed up. He's like, nice shirt. I was like,
oh my god, that was so great. Yeah, Lawrence and Leanna
Firestone, you can add those to your chapel Rowan. All right, finally,
did you know Bailey and Lena and me all have something in common?
We all went to Saint Cloud State University. That could be a fun fact
for the Are you a huge fan thing? Somebody wrote in about random hot
take everybody who has a black Minnesota license plate is a douchebag? Am I
wrong? Wo? Well that's a hot take because Andrew just got a black
minnesotalyzer. Right this down, because I'm going to say that's a hot take.
This is we can do this like tomorrow or something on the show.
I see those so often now. People say that they like them because they
make their cars look better, which honestly sounds kind of douchey now that I
think about it. I don't know Andrew's reasoning as to why he got it,
because he went and like paid the extra money to get it, he
didn't need to get on the douchebag checklist. Yeah. See, if I
was getting a license plate that was personalized, they had to pay extra four,
I'd get the one with the turkey on it, which you really it's
a good bit, that's hilarious, and I gues, why is it a
good bits that I'm driving around with a turkey on my license plate. That's
hilarious. It's not a bit really, it's comedy. Okay, next one,
I'm just over here darting and licking the booty hole. That is from
Courtney. Courtney, you're hilarious. Thank you. You are moving up into
the top ten staff writers of all time. Thank you. Also in the
top ten, I would say Joe from Turlock, Helllifornia, Andrew and Ohio,
Charrace Sesna, I'm gonna forget somebody forgive me. Who's Bree is wonderful?
Who's the one who's got the daughter Rinita? He's another good staff writer
too. So you're in the top ten. Thank you, Courtney. Appreciate
that one. I'm hitting delite on that one. Here's another one. Megan
writes in first Off, Big Oops on the one thousands episode. She was
the one who wrote in a week or so ago and said you're coming up
on the one thousandth episode, which was an innocent mistake. She said,
my apologies. I had no clue that Apple podcast stays at the nine to
ninety nine count even if you go over a thousand. I'm never too old
to learn something new After all knowledge's power, Go Joe, no more.
You know. Here's the setup than the question. My grandma passed away a
year and a half ago. She had a beautiful garden which included a massive,
ancient rhubarb plant. I was just gifted a whole bunch of rhubarb,
but I immediately thought, I need to make Grandma's rue bar. But bars.
They were such a staple at every family event in the spring and summer,
and they happily remind me of childhood. My question for you, what
food or recipe comes to mind when you think of childhood, family, or
just being back home. Additionally, let this be a reminder to get those
recipes while your family is still around. Cheers from Meg. I'll go ahead
and start. My grandma Helen. She's old, old, old, she's
been dead for forty something years. She's born in eighteen eighty nine. Made
cinnamon rolls, the best homemade cinnamon rolls, and nobody in our family can
find the recipe, So she's right, get that recipe. My dad used
to make a family recipe of oatmeal cookies, and I've told the story before.
Everybody loved them. The recipe is one hundred years or more old and
it's so old. That used to contain lard, but then they changed it
to vegetable oil. I think vegetable oil, but anyway, they used to.
My dad used to make these when I was a kid, and I
never liked them, but everybody in my family loved him. My dad would
take them to cheer arch events and community events and people would say, Fred,
do you have the recipe? And he would carry little index cards in
his pocket with the recipe. My mom used to mail me these in a
metal tin every couple of months, and I would throw them in the trash
because I just didn't like them. Yeah, you know, I just I
mean, people loved them, but I did not. So and I don't
care if I never have another one, but I'd saved the recipe for people
in the family that might want it. I think I have a side story
to this day that you might be like shocked for. So, when I
was in high school, my mom gave me and my sister gifts for Christmas
of recipe boxes, and she reached out to everyone in our family to provide
recipes for these recipe boxes so that they could be like a keepsake as well.
Yeah, but then she also reached out to like her co workers,
like people in the church, and she reached out to you, and you
sent us a recipe for cookies. It hadn't been that one. That's the
only one that we know. Yeah, so I literally that just came to
me because I wow, I kind of remember that, yeah from you.
That's in my recipe box at my mom's house. Yeah. They're oatmeal raisin
cookies, and they're you know, they're just they're just kind of a little
bit dry. They're not really my thing. So yeah, what about you
guys, any family recipe or anything that comes to mind. I have my
MoU's chocolate chip cookie recipe, but I also want to get, now that
we're talking about it, this peanut butter cookie recipe she does where she does
a peanut butter frosting on top of it too. Oh yeah, so fucking
good. Your mom's pancakes are also good. Oh yes, her buttermilk pancakes.
I have them all on like old school handwritten index cards for those.
And then I also love Swedish meatballs that she makes. My younger sister and
I requested for like birthdays, if we ever, if I'm ever in Wisconsin
for it, so I should get that one from her too. That's one
good. My grandma makes a bean soup that's more like a stew with just
like giant chunks of ham in it. So every time we go to Ohio
to visit my grandma, that's always in a crock pot when we get there.
So, oh yeah, something to eat. And then like fried cabbage,
but I know how to make fried cabbage, and my whole family kind
of makes it similarly. But I would say those are like the foods that
remind me of home. Okayed, cabbage is so good. You are bleaky
the puppet, Bailey, I'm bleaky. You are bleaky bleaky. Yeah,
well, Elena writes in and says Bailey's puppet, Bailey's puppet is not the
comic dog. It is bleaky. Look up b l E E k I
E. She said, I love her kirk quirky ass, meaning you keep
being awesome. Guys, So you do look a little bit like bleaky.
Oh no, and I won't read the entire description of bleaky, but you
can go see what Bailey's puppet would look like. This is the rabbit hole
I will be going down when I get home. Next one Stephanie is another
Top ten staff writer. What was the first name Dave planned on naming Alison.
It was Heather. We named her Heather before she was born, but
when she was born, Heather was a stranger, but this was a different
baby. Heather was like the baby that we imagined, but here's a real
baby. So we said that Heather is the imagine baby. This is a
real baby. Allison. And I love that name, and I think I
got it from the Mickey Mouse Club in the nineteen seventies. There was a
girl that I had a little bit of a crush on. Her name was
Alison, and she had a little bob haircut, and I always thought she
was so cute. I was fourteen and she was fourteen, and she was
Could you see her right now, Alice Fonte Fonte, Alison Fonte, Yeah,
yeah, okay, yeah, And that is it. We had to
wrap it up on the Minnesota Goodbye. Well. Thanks for all the emails.
We can always use more. Talk about the dog poop thing or whatever
you want. Send that to Ryan Show at KDWB dot com.
