We had an interesting discussion on the show today about whether it's okay to like
your own social media post. So let's talk about doing things by yourself and
whether you're okay with them. Okay, go into a movie by yourself.
I'm totally fine with it. I've done it many times. Usually I can
find somebody to go with me. But if there's something I really want to
see, I don't care. Yeah, I want to go see a movie.
I remember the first movie I ever saw by myself was because I was
in an advertisement before the movie started and I wanted to see me. It
was Texas Chainsaw Massacre. It was a re release. I was probably about
nineteen years old and we had done a radio station commercial before, so I
want to see it. So what about you, Bailey, movie by yourself?
I would one hundred percent go and see a movie by myself. I
think I have done that on multiple occasions. I can't remember the first time,
Okay, because it's all the time. I think it's great. I
just did it for the first time for Inside Out Too, like a week
ago, so I thought it was super fun. I felt a little bit
weird because it was my first time, but then I was like nobody's paying
attention to me. Why didn't I even like, in my head, I
don't care. Yeah, going to a restaurant by yourself, Yeah, I
think sitting at a bar by yourself is one thing. Sitting at a table
I think is fine, but it would make me uncomfortable. Yeah. I've
gone to a bar by myself a lot. I sit at the bar,
for sure. I feel bad when I see somebody, especially, I'm going
to be really transparent. If I see somebody who's rather older or unattractive having
dinner at a nice restaurant by themselves, my heart breaks for them because it's
like, oh, they're lonely. They don't have a date or a partner,
but they want to go like we all do too, you know,
go to ikes or go to Murray's or whatever. And they're sitting there and
oh, I almost tear up thinking about it, because it's like, I
know they're not feeling sorry for themselves, but there they are looking ugly.
I say that to make you laugh, and you can laugh at whatever.
It's fine. There they are looking ugly and they are alone, and I
feel kind of bad for them. I mean, I guess, but I
never think about what other people are thinking about me when I'm alone. Okay,
I just think I'm here alone and I want to eat some food,
and I'm going to eat some food. And as long as I have my
phone or like a book, I don't care what other people are thinking of
me. Okay, they'll be like, there's that ugly girl sitting alone.
Yeah, I wish you, no you, Okay, vacation alone. Let's
say, let's be a little bit more specific and let's make it, you
know, not just a trip to the North Shore. Let's make it like
you're gonna go to Italy. You're going to go alone. Are you good
with it? I did that last year. I went to London by myself,
all by yourself and not part of a group. Nope, I it
was lonely. I did have one friend who lives in London, but I
did not see him for the first like four days of my trip, and
so I had texted him. I was like, just so you know,
you're gonna hear a lot from me when I see you, because I haven't
talked to anybody in the rise. Did you make any friends, acquaintances,
small talk when you were in a pub or something. No, not necessarily.
I mean I was friendly with the people who were in pubs and stuff,
but like, honestly, people in London are not very friendly interesting,
They're kind of cold. That's what I've heard. Yeah, it was very
unwelcoming in general, but like my Arabian b host, she was kind of
like a wacky hippie, so she was nice. I like talking to her.
Yeah, Jenny vacation alone, Yeah, I think that it's totally great
and amazing. I've been thinking about going to Iceland and Andrew and I just
like don't have like similar schedules. It's very different, and so I've been
considering just going by myself. But then I know in the moment I will
be like sad that he's not there to experience the things that I know he
would love too. I just thought of something. I want to google search
Iceland Air flight attendant right now, so already do the Iceland Air. Is
there a story about it or something? Hold on, one second. The
reason I thought about it is because look at the flight attendants for Iceland Air,
and Jenny, you could pass for a flight attendant for Iceland Air because
you're you're very Nordic looking and look at the first one there. They're shorter
than you, but they're very Nordic looking and they're you usually all quite attractive
because for Iceland Air, they definitely have a very nineteen sixty seventies sort of
a culture. They still wear hats, they still wear the same uniform.
The girls look like they have their hairpinned and like a bun or something.
Yeah, so when it's rare, but when you're at the airport and you
see an Iceland Air flight attendant, they're usually somemoking hot and they've got that
nineteen seventies vibe with the hat, the matching uniforms, that type of thing.
So, Jenny, you could pass for an Iceland Air flight attendant.
No, I listen. I might be able to pass, but I'm more
of a Spirit Airlines flight attendant. When it comes down to it, good
one, good one. I would never want to out to put myself together
to look like that every single day for work. There's a reason I work
in radio. Like the amount of times I've been asked before like would you
ever do TV? Fuck? No, I don't have to look nice every
day. I love coming into the radio. Nobody's seen in my face.
Okay, they do kind of see us now. But I will say,
not that anybody asked. But when I go to Colorado, I like going
by myself. But about day three I get lonely. And I don't mind,
but I get tired of doing alone things too much, like hiking up
Pike's Peak. I enjoy it, but fuck am I tired of doing things
alone? And Susan and I it's like our we're diverging, you know what
I mean. She wants to sit on the couch more and more, and
I'm like, we're getting older. Let's go live life and do things.
Let's go do freedom now with like no kids in the house too. We
do Yeah, And She's fine sitting on the couch playing her word games,
and I'm like, fuck that. I want to go do something. Yeah,
I want to go do something adventuresome. I want to go flying.
I took her flying a couple of weeks ago, and the entire time she
was like, how long till we get there? What was that? What
was that? Is that? Okay? So she didn't enjoy it. See
That's how I feel like, if you don't do stuff by yourself, you're
never gonna do stuff sometimes. I mean, obviously if you have, like
Jenny, you say, like you and Andrew do a lot of stuff together,
so I assume you're very similar people. But like, if you're with
somebody who's like I just want to sit around, you're like, well,
I don't, so I guess I'm going to go do stuff by myself or
else it'll never happen. It's just it's a very good point. Yeah,
and so that's why I am climbing Pike's Peak by myself, or go flying
by myself, or go to Colorado by myself. But I just really get
tired of doing things alone. How come you stopped asking me to go flying?
We just what the heck? I kind of it spaced it out a
little bit, but we can totally go what the We can totally go barely.
It's fine, all right, Let's get into the emails and see what
we've got. Here's one from Jong Chong, and I'm probably not even close,
but I love that you have such an ethnic Asian name, because I
also am twenty percent Asian. I will also say that I've never been well
also have an ethic a ethnic Asian name. And I was like, I
don't know if that's true. What who me ye Stave right long time?
I'm a listener, says Jeong, and I literally have a list of questions
on my phone named questions I would ask Dave Ryan, so I figured I
might as well ask one here. All right, here we go. Around
ten years ago. You did a bit that I like to call is Dave
a freak. Listeners would call in and you would take them off the air
to tell him what weird thing you liked in the sack, and then you'd
bring him back on the air to get their reaction. I remember vividly one
guy said, Dave use a freak, and another guy with a deep trucker
voice said, I'm with your brother. Personally, I always thought it was
dark licking or a finger in your bum. I think about that every now
and then, and I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't remember. But if
you do, can you tell me what did you tell him off the air?
I don't remember that at all, Jeong, Do you remember that,
Jenny at all? I feel like, no, We've done that a couple
different times, but I don't know that it was always based around you.
Like We've had people call in and tell us a story and We're like,
well, we can't say that on air, so we'd have to ta them
and do it off air, and then we'd turn Mike's back on to have
our reac actions. But I don't remember you telling one specifically. I don't.
I think I'm at a point in my life where I don't really like
to talk about my sex life as much because it's gross, you know what
I mean. If you're twenty five or thirty five years old and you're talking
about your sex life, that's kind of cute, you know what I mean.
But if you're at my age, it's gross. Nobody wants to hear
about that. I know you've had sex at least four times. I have
four. I have four children. Yeah, so there was something we did
a few ten twelve years ago we did. Don't act like you never,
and we should write this down, yea, because this is a good bit.
Don't act like you never. Like when you poop, don't act like
you never stand up and examine what is in the toilet to check out your
health and the firmness and the texture and the color and that type of thing.
Don't act like you never. And I knew it was okay when Oprah
says she does it. So don't act like you never like checks or poop.
Yeah, okay, yeah, don't act like you never blow your nose
and then look at the results in the clean X. That's one thing I
actually really don't do. Okay, I trust you, but I don't think
it's gross if you do it, I don't care. Okay, don't act
like you never pick your nose. I really honestly don't pick my nose.
I don't like the sensation. I picked my nose all the time, do
you really, Well, not all the time, but like especially when you
it's like hard in there and you can feel it, and then you grab
it and then you pull it out and it's long, and then you're like,
wow, it's long. Really I thought it was hard, long and
hard. Yeah, why aren't you just using it? Aren't you blowing your
noise at that moment. Sometimes it's like when you're you don't have like a
runny nose or anything, and you're just like, what is this in my
nose? And then you just go and you pick it out, and it
was just like a dried bogoger in your nose, and you get the whole
thing and then it just you feel like a whole new person. I'm glad
you admitted that one. Now I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna get a little
dicey, and I don't want to offend anybody, Okay, But the one
that I said is, don't act if you are a guy. Don't act
like you never tasted your own blank really yeah? Yeah, yeah? Do
you remember that one, Jenny. I mean, we've had this discussion before,
so I definitely think you've said it on the radio, but we've definitely
talked about it off air as well, so I've heard this from you.
Yeah. And I remember Lucas when he worked here, and Lucas was a
DJ who was also kind of a freak. Oh and He's like, oh
yeah, high five me. Yeah. And Steve on the other hand's like,
no grosss. And it's like, look, you expect your wife or
partner or girlfriend to tolerate the taste. Of course, you're going to taste
it yourself. Every guy has, but nobody wants to admit. I remember
we had Goldie Gopher in the studio one time. I guess what did he
say? He like in his best mime pantomime expression, went, and I'm
like, gold is Goldie that good? He comes in and you ask questions
like that, the poor Goldie. I did not ask Goldie. Goldie asked
me through their interpreter, what is Dave's Don't act like you never? So
I whispered to Goldie through his little fake ear, and I said, you've
tasted your own that. Don't act like you haven't tasted your own stuff.
And Goldie pantomimed, and I'm like, you're lying, Goldie. Don't don't
act like you never. Once the Saint Cloud State mascot did the jerk off
motion at me. Speaking of mascots, said oh my god, I love
you so much. I can't remember his name, but he's a husky.
I was like, oh my god, I love you so much. He
did the like jack off and explode motion, and I was like, okay,
Saint Cloud State, we're all a bunch of drunk and trash stude and
Saint Cloud State. We're somewhere by Saint Cloud but we're dumb. Hey,
hey, hey, Saint Cloud State. We used to be good, Saint
Cloud State, but now we're so good Saint Cloud Saint Cloud State. We're
lucky if we can read our gearshift. Yeah, anyway, that's my mascot
story. I just wanted to include that. That is hilarious. I love
that the levels of mascot are quite different because I'm sure Goldiegover is not allowed
to use such motions. Though that he did the jack off explosion, I
was like, well, sorry, I said anything. All right, Jeong,
thank you very much. I'm gonna hit the delete button on that one
and move on to this one's from Oh. By the way, I want
to say, Jeong does say something very nice, and I want to read
the end of his email. He says, love the show and the new
crew, and I appreciate that, so thank you Jeong. Always appreciate that
one. Don't use my name. Here's an embarrassing story. So to start
with, I'm a fortyish year old straight guy. This weekend, I decided
to get a bit freaky with myself. Yes, go On wasn't ready for
this one. I decided to use a vibrating plug that I sell them use.
I got that thing in and did the deed and went to take a
shower. During the shower, I slipped and twisted my back. Panic set
in because all of a sudden my back is tight and I can't bend over
to reach the place. I started to freak out because I couldn't think of
what I was going to do. I didn't want to go to the doctor.
I have no friends that I want to make that call to. I
considered if I should get appliers for the added reach, and all the panic
caused my back to tighten up more. After an hour of resting and stretching,
I finally limbered up enough to reach it. It was probably the most
stressed out I've been in the last ten years. Now. I'm not going
to say your name, but I'm curious as to why you left it in
after you were done. I feel like I have a couple of questions.
I'm a little confused. You do. Yeah, so he was using a
vibrating thing in his anus, Yeah, okay, okay. I just wanted
to make sure I understood what was happening. Okay, Yeah, I don't
know why. Why didn't you take it out before you took a shower?
Like just left it in there? That is weird, isn't it. That
seems I would be scared to have anything like that in the shower, Like,
what if it I don't know, circuits out and very very low power.
Yeah, I guess. I guess if it's like between your butt cheeks
and it's like pretty well covered in the shower, so is the water even
going to touch it? Probably? Not? So many questions, yeah,
so many questions. Well, you know what, I'm not sure why you
share that story. Nick. I said his name, but I won't say
his last name. But I'm really glad you did share that story. I'm
glad we're the people you wanted to share it with. Yeah, yeah,
you got to tell someone. I'm glad you didn't get it stuck. You
know, well I did for a little bit, for a little bit.
Yeah, but the fact that he was trying to use appliers for added reach.
But wow, what a panic inducing story that would be, Thank you
very much. I'm gonna hit delete on that one. That would be my
party story. That would be the story I told that. Guys, go
all right. Brian writes in Hello to four of my favorite radio show hosts.
Still loving the new foursome ads are still annoying on the podcast, Moving
on. I was listening to the bit about selling on Marketplace versus donating items.
I have one thing I can't bring myself to donate my wedding dress.
I got my dress for ninety five bucks. Alterations were safe hundred. Original
price tag was twelve hundred. Wow. I love my dress. I won't
wear it again. It's sitting in a closet in my home. What is
a reasonable amount of money that I could post for it on marketplace? Is
it a consignment shop somewhere? Worth it? I'd be sad to sell it.
But if not sell it, what do I do with the dress?
I don't have any idea. Anybody have a suggestion. I have no idea.
I've never dabbled in wedding dress Facebook Marketplace, so I don't know how
that works. But I feel like most people keep their wedding dresses like I
don't know. That's like one thing that you probably just it'd be so hard
to get rid of butt I don't know. I say that, and I
honestly probably would get rid of mine because I don't like to have clutter.
So yeah, I don't know. I mean dress, Allison has her wedding
dress. It's got a wine stain on it because the neighbors slashed red wine
on it, and so it'll never be worn again. But you know what,
I think that most brides don't want to. It's like maybe my daughter
or granddaughter will wear it one day. I don't think they want to.
I think they want their own wedding dress. Although there are probably a few
here and there. I've seen so many of my friends who at least like
try on their mother's wedding dress or their grandmother's wedding dress for like the sentimental
value. They don't necessarily end up wearing it unless they like take all of
those dresses and alter it into their own special dress as well. So I'd
say keep it, keep it because you never know. Yeah, I would
be really sad if my mom was like, you should try on my dress
and maybe wear it, because I would be like, no, Mom,
I'll try it on. But I've seen the pictures from her wedding and I
would never I think the ugliest style of wedding dress was in the seventies,
where the bride would wear what looked like a modified cowboy hat and they were
you know what I'm talking about, Oh my god, roughly kind of thing,
roughly cowboy hat ish kind of a thing. It is so ugly,
and I feel bad for brides that I mean, they're adorable and back when
they were twenty two years old and they got married, I mean that's great.
But okay, that is going to wrap it up for The Minnesota Goodbye.
