All right, here we go with the mens soda goodbye, and let's see
what we get to start off with. I'm way behind, and I was
listening to Dave's mold problem just to let you know. I got mold in
my basement in Colorado. It's an old house, is the house I grew
up in. They we put news storm drain storm trains, downspouts and gutters
on it. Five years ago. We had a ton arrained this spring and
the basement was wet with some standing water. And it costs so much to
get it done. They had to rip out all the moldy wet carpet.
There were literally mushrooms growing in the carpet. It was terrible. And now
we have to get like drain tiles put in. It's going to cost probably
around twenty thousand dollars. You know, you can afford that, but for
someone else that's not. What do they offer like payment plans or something.
Must yeah, because that's a crazy amount of mine. So we're very fortunate
that we are able to. It's not devastating us financially. But that's the
thing about a lot of people. If you have something like that, you
have to do it. But it's very expensive, as expensive as a car
in some cases. And anyway, one of the problems was when we had
the downspouts and gutters put on five years ago. The idiots that did it
directed a downspout to drain four feet from the foundation of the house, and
I didn't notice it, nor did I think that I had to go inspect
their work. But that's the only change with all the rain. So this
person says, people probably email and already, but I work commercial insurance.
You should check with the people who install the gutter because they can probably pay
for all of it and file a claim with their insurance. Happens all the
time. Sounds like it was their error. I asked Susan about it.
Thanks Vanessa, by the way, and Susan's like, I don't remember who
did it. Yeah, I don't. And I'm like, we can we
go back and look a credit card statements or something. We absolutely did it
with a credit card, and even it was a bank, we could go
back and look. So that's a good idea. I haven't ruled that out
yet, thank you. Next one, this is a group therapy, so
we're gonna save that for another time. This one says Minnesota, goodbye,
So I'm a bit behind. On the after the show podcast one was David
Jenny discussing overall fitness and making it part of their lifestyle for life. Question.
I've been doing a boot camp for ninety days. Every thirty days,
I sign up again each month. The exercises are switched up, new ones
are introduced. I've lost sixteen pounds so far, but the last two weeks
I'm stuck. I'm a lost any weight, but I haven't gained any weight.
Any insight, As I know you've been have varying experiences with weight loss
and exercise. The boot camp is full body strength, cardio hit. I'm
looking. I'm also watching my nutrition. My goal is forty pounds, so
I do have more to lose. Thanks for all you guys do. Jenny
is not in the studio right now, so I cannot tell you. I'm
going to say your best source would be your trainer. If you're going to
a boot camp, ask them, tell them you're stuck. I only know
that sometimes we lose the first five ten pounds pretty rapidly, and then after
that it really slows down. And I also have been guilty of not being
completely honest. With myself because for example, like over the fourth of July,
I had hot dogs and a burger and chips and things like that,
but I had less than I would normally, and I told myself I was
eating better, but I didn't lose any weight that week, and I know
why. It's because I didn't eat right. So I can only you know.
You're human too, so maybe you just need to check and see whether
you have been eating more of the wrong things. I don't know, or
maybe somebody else will write in with an idea, because, like I said,
Jenny's not here and she's a better expert on that than I am.
Next one, Jason says, good morning, Gang. Heard something interesting over
the weekend up into Louth of the air show, and it immediately made me
think of your show. A representative from Sirius that's an aircraft manufacturer and I
think they make them into told me about their safe return Auto land system,
which at the touch of a button, is a fully autonomous system that will
land the plane in the event of an emergency like an unconscious pilot. It'll
also analyze all possible data, including fuel levels, whether and terrain to determine
the best to report to land It'll then contact the tower, lower the flaps
and landing gear until landing safely, and even open the plane's doors once on
the ground. Just thought that was super cool and relevant to the recent discussions.
I've never heard of that. That is amazing. But with all the
auto flying, auto driving, whatever, it doesn't surprise me. But there's
a lot to landing. I mean, if you are like flying randomly over
Hutchinson, Minnesota, and you are feeling yourself having a heart attack, you're
going to pass out or your pilot dies, you push the button. Well,
first of all, it's going to determine where you are, where's the
nearest airport. It's going to descend safely, line up with the runway.
So that's very interesting. Yeah, the next one, no, I think
we we'll save that one. Okay, well, well we can do it.
It's it's not specifically for the Minnesota goodbye, but at least so see
what happens. Just got back from traveling to Spain for a few weeks.
Was able to listen to the Dave Ryan Show via Apple podcast. That's cool.
While I was there, it was not a new experience for me because
I listened to the show every day when I studied abroad there in Spain six
years ago. Two reasons I am writing. I think it was the Minnesota
Goodbye I was listening to when you and Fallon were talking about plane etiquette.
Ironically, I was on the plane. Even more ironically, there was a
person in the row next to me who had their feet up on the headrest
of the person in front of them. By the way, I couldn't believe
it, so I tried to sneakily take a picture. It's poor quality,
but I've attached it to this email for your reference. All Right, I'm
gonna go click on it and take a look. Yeah, she is leaning
way back with her feet almost straight up in the air. So not the
soles. Sure, So it's not the soles of her feet that are against
the backrest. It is her feet pointing straight up in the air. We
are her her, that is. I've never seen so selfish, and people
go, this generation is just so selfish. I'm going to guess back in
nineteen sixty four there were people that were assholes like that too. I think
every generation has got its assholes, and every generation's got its wonderful people that
would say I would never do something like that, So that's one thing they
say. Then they go on to say, had a connecting flight in Paris
get get Spain. At the beginning of my trip, there was the kindest
woman from Minneapolis who helped me navigate the airport very minimal time and making the
connecting flight about an hour. I was going to Madrid and she was going
to Vienna, Australia, Austria, but this woman swooped in and took me
under her wing. I was so grateful because this was my first real time
traveling alone internationally and I was in a frenzy worried about catching the connecting flight.
She made sure I got to the right terminal and gate area while we
navigated security and customs together in the airport. Her name is Linda. She's
from South Dakota. She's lived in Minnesota for about twenty years. I would
guess she's in her forties, but I'm not sure. Anyway, can you
please say thank you to her for me on the radio. I would love
her to hear this and know how much of hers reassurance she was for me
during this experience. I will try to remember to do that. Sometimes I'll
forward it to myself and I'll try to remember to do that. And it's
very sweet of you to shout her out. And thanks for thinking of us
with the woman with the feet up on the back of the seat. That's
crazy, all right. Another one Minnesota Goodbye Morning Show crew. My name
is Schurette. She emails a lot, and I always say her name wrong.
I know hers is a more about a technical issue. By the way,
it's not really Minnesota goodbye email. And just so she knows, I
sent it to Jenny and Drake, they should be able to look into it
for you. Okay, we're good. Then I will delete that one because
it's already been taking care of. And thanks for listening. Don't say my
name. This email will take a turn. Okay, let's see what we
got, all right. Earlier this week, it was mentioned on the show
that the Sound of Freedom movie was a surprising hit at theaters. I saw
a TikTok last night where a lady said she noticed all the screenings for that
movie were completely sold out online when she was looking for tickets for another show,
while other popular movies had ample tickets available. She was curious, so
she peeked into that sold out show and five minutes prior to start time,
the theater was completely empty. Many people in the comments said their theater was
sold out for that show, but there were less than a handful of people
actually showing up. The theory is that someone or a group is buying up
all these tickets to give the movie and inflated impression. Just a theory,
of course, but it compelled me to mention that is fucking crazy. If
somebody is like doing that. That's an expensive promotion to buy up a theater.
But it's getting the hype because even Carson, who is not interested in
human trafficking movies, he's like, yeah, me and Matt want to go
see Sound of Freedom. Yeah, everyone's talking about it. They're saying it's
like it's hard to watch. It's very informative. I mean, when I
first moved here, I was invited to a trafficking charity event and I didn't
know anything about it. I honestly didn't even hadn't even really heard of trafficking.
And I guess if I had heard of it, it was one of
those things that seemed so foreign, it only happened to different countries, and
they had, like the police chief of Minneapolis at the time come up and
talk about how they had had one of the biggest busts in like the country
here in Minnesota. It was insane and it was very eye opening. And
then, like a lot of things, you think about it a lot.
Then you kind of move on and you don't think about it as much.
But it's still happening, and it's so bizarre it is, and it's just
shameful, and it's just I mean, there's not much more to say about
it except that it's amazing that it happens. Time to do a one eighty.
Possibly by most embarrassing moment to date. I was out for a hike
with my seven year old daughter a local regional park. It was a short
loop, maybe a mile and a half. My tummy started to rumble and
I had to go pee about halfway through. Eventually I had to pee so
bad. I knew I would just have to go on the trail, no
big deal, so I squat. But as soon as I start peeing,
poo also starts coming out. I couldn't stop. My daughter having to turn
around, caught a glimpse and said, Mom, why are you pooping in
the woods. We were both mortified than of course, I had to waddle
back to the end with nothing to wipe with. I begged, and Briber
never tell a soul. I just know she's going to let it slip sometime
on accident, and I just want to throw up thinking about it. The
positive of this would have finally pushed me to start physical therapy for my pelvic
floor, which I've been putting off for years. I can't rank bended thea
enough. It is so nice to make progress to not pee every time I
jump or sneeze, being better in control of that stuff. What videos do
you use or what exercises? Send them to me. I'm curious. I
see so many. It's one of those things, a kind of like weight
loss, where it's so overwhelming you don't even know what to like what we're
now. So yeah, if you're listening, and I'm sure you are,
then send that to us and we'll follow up. Yikes, I told you
this would be all over the place. Have a great day. Yes,
it was really interesting. I love emails like that that are like a story
and something totally unrelated, like the Sound of Freedom. So thank you.
That was really interesting. And by the way, Sound of Freedom, coincidentally
here is another email about it. Saw movie last night, can't stop thinking
about it, so I feel the need to share for those especially we have
children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews. It's called Sound of Freedom. It's
about human trafficking. I knew it was a major problem, but it's bigger
than you can imagine. The movie was really powerful and had an important message
and bringing awareness. It's sad and sick and terrifying, but most importantly really
eye opening and hit home when thinking about our own kids. Even if you
don't think it could happen to your kids, it's a super small chance where
we live, but it can still happen. It struck a chord and now
I want to learn about how else I can protect my family with this in
mind, what I can do to help others, teach our kids what to
look for as they get older and smarter. It would have more of an
impact if you saw it yourself, truly. Please try if you can.
There are more people in slavery now than ever before, including when it was
legal. Millions of these are children. The industry makes more money than all
of the airlines combined, and is surpassing the money made in the drug world.
Insane It's emotional and disturbing, of course, but I feel so moved
and it's so important to share what is happening around the world. Not sure
if this is going to be shared on kat WB's homepage. Thank you so
much and hugs, and that is from Janet. I'm so curious how this
is so big, so huge, Like he says, how you know what
I mean, like when something is so sketchy, who makes the first contact,
who reaches out to see if someone's interested in the How do these like
these big? I don't understand how it works and how it doesn't get out
And yeah, I don't either, the same as drug rings, I guess.
But well, I mean you think about this. I mean I think
what you're implying is like, Hey, I've got this person that i'm human
trafficking, and I can send them over to have sex with you for one
hundred and fifty dollars. I don't I don't know. That is so foreign
to us. I'm going to guess. In other I'm going to say it,
in other countries, there's probably less protective layers, there's probably less social
services, there's probably less safety nets. Yeah, in impoverished countries, there
is more of a need to make money through whatever illicit means there are,
because it's hard to believe that, like in Tallahassee, that it could be
happening. But I'm sure it is. Yeah, I mean, it's definitely
happening in America, clearly, but at year right, maybe it's predominantly in
other countries. I don't know. Yeah, I don't know either, So
I will say I have a little bit of trouble believe that it makes more
money than all of the airlines combined. I mean, I don't know if
that is something that you heard somewhere. With all due respect, I don't
think. I'm not saying you made it up. Maybe it was in the
movie, and maybe it was, but I do have a difficult time believing
there's more money in human trafficking than in all the airlines worldwide. I'd like
to know the source on that one. And I'm saying not saying I doubt
it, but I think sometimes people will put things like that out on Facebook
or whatever, and I don't know, but it is Hey good, I'm
glad that the Sound of Freedom is bringing awareness about that. Okay, and
next one, maybe I'll watch that on the airplane. I've got so many
things to watch. It's in the theater all the evening. You're right,
never mind, Okay, next one. You were talking about remembering your kids
on the podcast on Tuesday. I wanted to share a post I made on
Facebook this weekend. I always hate it when people say, oh, just
wait until the kids do X, y Z, or just wait until they're
this age. I try to focus on the present age and try to remember
as much as I can, because time really is fleeting. Sometimes that becomes
something that becomes all too true with age. My post is below, and
the photo that accompanied it is attached, so her writing is called Soon.
Soon, these shelves won't be cluttered with kids books, and they'll hold photos
of the past. Soon I will drink my full cup of morning coffee as
it's days warm, without little hands bringing books from the shelf to read.
Soon, there won't be legos littered beneath these shelves. My feet won't feel
the sharp pain of a lego I step on the dark berry deep in the
carpet. Soon, there won't be the noise of fifty books falling as a
child tumbles them all down as he selects which one he wants to read without
a care as to who will pick them up. Soon, this house that
we bought to be a home won't be used as much, but will more
closely resemble a museum with items untouched. Everything will be neatly tucked in place.
Soon, all too soon, I will wish for the time when the
shelves were messy. I think that's really nice. It sounds a lot like
a poem that's in my book. Yeah, because my poem is called one
Day. And let me see if I can find it really quick here because
I read it too, me, Dave, I can't hear it right now.
I don't is my book around here somewhere because if it isn't, my
book is around here somewhere, and there's a poem in there that I'm really
proud of called one Day. Let me see if I can find it one
Day by Dave Ryan m No, it doesn't look like it, But in
my book there's a poem that is exactly like yours, but mine starts with
instead of soon. It's called one day. Oh yeah, so anyway it
is. And because I realized as my kids were getting older, you know,
like it's like one day the basketball hoop out front will go unused one
day. The only noises in the house will be the soft sounds that adults
make one day. What and so it's very much like yours. But yeah,
you know what, treasure those times and everybody, every parent knows to
treasure and tries to treasure, but it doesn't stop them from passing. You
can treasure all you want to, but it doesn't stop them from passing.
So and that's it. Anything to add, I don't think so. I
think I mean, thanks for making me emotional again. To end this podcast,
Yeah, no problem. Send an email to Ryan Show at KDWB dot com.
